This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of January 30, 2017 (this “Loan Agreement”), is entered into by and between ACCOLADE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”) and ESCALATE CAPITAL PARTNERS SBIC III, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings provided in Section 13 hereof.
In consideration of the covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. THE LOAN.
1.1 Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, Lender agrees (the “Commitment”) to advance to Borrower term loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (the “Commitment Amount”) as follows: (i) on the date hereof, a term loan (the “Initial Advance”) in an aggregate original principal amount of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000), such Initial Advance to be advanced in connection with the payoff of the amounts owing under the Prior Facility, as further detailed in the Payoff Letter, and (ii) subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3, at any time on or before December 31, 2018 (the “Funding Termination Date”), Lender agrees to advance one or more additional term loans to Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of up to Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($12,500,000) (each an “Incremental Advance” and collectively, the “Incremental Advances”, and the Incremental Advances, together with the Initial Advance, individually and collectively, the “Advances”). Each Incremental Advance shall not be in an amount of less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Each Advance shall be made in accordance with and subject to the applicable provisions of Section 2 hereof. The date of the Initial Advance is referred to herein as the “Initial Closing Date” and the date of each Incremental Advance is referred to herein as an “Incremental Closing Date.” Each of the Initial Closing Date and each Incremental Closing Date shall be referred to as a “Closing Date.”
1.2 Interest, Payments and Payment Terms.
(a) Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of the Advances outstanding from time to time at a rate equal to 11.75% per annum (the “Interest Rate”). The Lender’s determination of the amount of the Advances outstanding at any time shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Advances will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.
(b) Payments of Interest. Borrower shall pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances, monthly in arrears on the last business day of each calendar month, commencing on January 31, 2017 pursuant to Section 1.2(a). In addition, accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable on the maturity of the Advances, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and on the date of any prepayment (with respect to the amount prepaid).
(c) Payments of Principal.
(i) Borrower shall repay to Lender the outstanding principal balance of the Advances in equal monthly payments, each payable on the last business day of each calendar month, commencing on January 31, 2019; provided, however, Borrower, upon providing written notice to Lender on or before December 31, 2018, may elect to extend the principal commencement date to January 31, 2020 (the “Principal Commencement Date”), with each such payment in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances as of the Principal Commencement Date divided by twenty-four (24).
(ii) Each monthly repayment of principal pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(i) shall be made together with payment of (x) all accrued and unpaid interest on the then outstanding principal amount of the Advances and (y) all fees, expenses and other amounts outstanding and then due hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.
(iii) The entire outstanding principal balance of the Advances, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all fees, expenses and other amounts outstanding hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall be immediately due and payable on the earlier to occur of (1) an Event of Default consisting of an Insolvency Event, or (2) the date of a Change of Control, or (3) December 31, 2020; or, if Borrower elects to extend the Principal Commencement Date to January 31, 2020, in accordance with Section 1.2(c)(i), December 31, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”).
(d) Application of Payments; No Reborrowing. All payments shall be applied first to fees and expenses, then to interest, and then to principal. Once repaid, no amount of the Advance may be reborrowed hereunder.
(e) Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the Advances (or any portion thereof) with no premium or penalty upon not less than five (5) business days prior written notice to Lender. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any prepayment of Advances shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the Advances on a pro rata basis.
(f) Place and Manner. Borrower shall make all payments due to Lender in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Unless otherwise agreed by Lender, Lender shall debit Borrower’s Deposit Account set forth in the Authorization Agreement for principal and interest payments due with respect to the Advances or any other amounts due to Lender. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly upon the opening of any new Deposit Accounts or the closing of, change of account number for, or modification of any existing Deposit Accounts, and shall provide to Lender the account numbers and other information, and at all times provide to the financial institution at
which the deposit accounts are held the instructions and authorizations, necessary for Lender to debit Borrower’s Deposit Accounts as provided in this Section 1.2(f).
(g) Default Rate and Maximum Rate. Subject to the Act, if any amounts required to be paid by Borrower under this Loan Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, principal or interest payable on the Advances, any fees or other amounts) remain unpaid after such amounts are due and such failure to pay continues for three (3) business days, then Borrower shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding principal balance hereunder from such date until such past due amounts are paid in full, at a per annum rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the applicable per annum interest rate under this Loan Agreement, plus three percent (3%) per annum. The provision in this clause (g) for default interest shall not be construed as Lender’s consent to Borrower’s failure to pay any amounts in strict accordance with this Loan Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and Lender’s acceptance of any such payments shall not restrict Lender’s exercise of any remedies arising out of any such failure. All computations of default interest shall be based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.
(h) SBA Cost of Money Limitation. The sum of (i) the Interest Rate paid by the Borrower to Lender and (ii) all other consideration paid by the Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Note and any other provision of this Loan Agreement that constitutes Cost of Money, shall not exceed, with respect to Lender, the ceiling for the Cost of Money that is applicable to the Note pursuant to the Act. Any payment to Lender of the Default Rate or other consideration pursuant to this Loan Agreement that results in the Cost of Money for the Note being in excess of the applicable ceiling for the Cost of Money for the Note shall be considered an error and such excess amount shall be returned to the Borrower.
(i) Repayment Pursuant to Minimum EMRR. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Advances outstanding at the reporting date exceeds Minimum Eligible Monthly Recurring Revenue, Borrower shall have five (5) business days from the reporting date to repay that portion of the Advances that exceeds the Minimum Eligible Monthly Recurring Revenue. Borrower’s failure to repay in accordance with this Section 1.2(i) shall be an Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, the “reporting date” shall be thirty (30) days after the last day of each calendar month.
1.3 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to EC Management Services, Inc., an Affiliate of Lender, (a) a facility fee in the amount of $200,000 (the “Closing and Arrangement Fee”) on the Initial Closing Date, (b) on the earlier to occur of the Maturity Date or the date the Obligations are repaid in full, a facility fee equal to the greater of (i) $160,000 or (ii) 1.00% of the aggregate amount of Advances funded pursuant to this Loan Agreement (the “Aggregate Facility Fee”), and (c) upon Borrower’s election to extend the Principal Commencement Date to January 31, 2020 in accordance with Section 1.2(c)(i), a facility fee in the amount of 1.00% of the aggregate amount of Advances funded pursuant to this Loan Agreement (the “Principal Extension Facility Fee” and together with the Closing and Arrangement Fee and the Aggregate Facility Fee, the “Facility Fees”).
1.4 Lender’s Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender (i) on the Initial Closing Date, all costs and expenses (not to exceed $35,000) of Lender, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, and closing of the Transaction Documents through such Initial Closing Date, and (ii) after the Initial Closing Date, all costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) of Lender as and when they become due, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, and administration of the Transaction Documents; Collateral audit fees; and Lender’s documented attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in amending, enforcing or defending the Transaction Documents (including fees and expenses of appeal) incurred before, during and after an Insolvency Event, whether or not suit is brought.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the security interest granted herein does not extend to and the term “Collateral” does not include the following (collectively, “Excluded Assets”) (i) any license or contract rights to the extent (x) the granting of a security interest therein would be contrary to applicable law or (y) that such licenses or rights are nonassignable by their terms (but only to the extent the prohibition is enforceable under applicable law, including, without limitation, Sections 9-406(d) and 9-408(d) of the Uniform Commercial Code and the consent of the licensor or other party has not been obtained); (ii) more than sixty-five percent (65%) (or such greater percentage that, due to a change of Legal Requirement after the Initial Closing Date, (A) could not reasonably be expected to cause the undistributed earnings of each Subsidiary organized under the laws of any country other than the United States of America (a “Foreign Subsidiary”) as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign Subsidiary’s U.S. parent and (B) could not reasonably be expected to cause any material adverse tax consequences) of the issued and outstanding equity interests entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas.

Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) of each Foreign Subsidiary now or hereafter owned by Borrower or any domestic Subsidiary (or if Borrower or any domestic Subsidiary owns less than 65% of the equity interests of such Foreign Subsidiary, then all of the equity interests of such Foreign Subsidiary now or hereafter owned by Borrower or such domestic Subsidiary), and (iii) any permit, license or contractual obligation entered into by the Borrower (A) that prohibits or requires the consent of any Person which has not been obtained as a condition to the creation by the Borrower of a Lien on any right, title or interest in such permit, license or contractual obligation or (B) to the extent that any legal requirement applicable thereto (including, without limitation, rules and regulations of any governmental authority or agency) prohibits the creation of a Lien thereon, but only, with respect to the prohibition in clause (A) and clause (B), to the extent, and for as long as, such prohibition is not terminated or rendered unenforceable or otherwise deemed ineffective by the Uniform Commercial Code or any other requirement of law, (iv) property owned by the Borrower that is subject to a purchase money Lien or to a Capitalized Lease permitted under the Transaction Documents if the contractual obligation pursuant to which such Lien is granted (or in the document providing for such Capitalized Lease) prohibits or requires the consent of any Person as a condition to the creation of any other Lien on such property, (v) any “intent to use” trademark applications for which a statement of use has not been filed, (vi) property owned by the Borrower to the extent the pledge thereof is prohibited by applicable requirements of law, but only to the extent, and for so long as, such prohibition is not terminated or rendered unenforceable or otherwise deemed ineffective by the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, (vii) governmental licenses or state or local
franchises, charters and authorizations and any other property and assets to the extent that Lender may not validly possess a security interest therein under applicable laws (including, without limitation, rules and regulations of any governmental authority or agency) or the pledge or creation of a security interest in which would require governmental consent, approval, license or authorization, other than to the extent such prohibition or limitation is rendered ineffective under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, and (viii) any Excluded Account, provided, however, that Excluded Assets shall not include any proceeds of property described in clauses (i) through (vii) above. Borrower agrees to execute, and authorizes Lender to execute, such documents and take such actions as Lender deems appropriate from time to time to perfect or continue the security interest granted hereunder, provided that Lender agrees that, (x) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender will not require its Lien with respect to commercial tort claims and letter of credit rights with a value equal to or less than $100,000 or with respect to vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title with a value of less than $30,000 to be perfected, and (y) Lender will not require its Lien with respect to any fee owned real property with a value of less than $100,000 and with respect to any leasehold property to be evidenced by any mortgages or similar instruments or to be otherwise perfected.

6.3 Miscellaneous Provisions Concerning Remedies.
(a) Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Lender under the Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. In exercising such rights and remedies, Lender may be selective and no failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.
(b) Waiver of Marshaling. Borrower hereby waives any right to require any marshaling of assets and any similar right.
(c) Intellectual Property License. Borrower hereby grants to Lender the nonexclusive right and license to use all of the Intellectual Property now or hereafter used by Borrower, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and for the purpose of enabling Lender to realize on the Collateral and to permit any purchaser of any portion of the Collateral through a foreclosure sale or any other exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents to use, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral bearing any such trademarks, patents, copyrights, service marks, licenses or other Intellectual Property. Such right and license is granted free of charge, without the requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to Borrower or any other Person by Lender.
(d) All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to Lender and any Persons designated by Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all amounts owing to Lender under this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than the Warrant and the Second A&R Warrant) have been repaid in full.
(e) Performance of Borrower’s Duties. If Borrower shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do under this Loan Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done either in the name of Lender or in the name and on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender so to act, all at the cost of Borrower.
(f) Time is of the essence under this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
7. WAIVERS; INDEMNITY. Borrower waives notice of default, presentment, and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest under this Loan Agreement and any other Transaction Document. Borrower shall pay all costs of collection and enforcement of this Loan Agreement and each other Transaction Document when incurred, including documented attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses incurred before, after, or in connection with an Insolvency Event. So long as Lender complies with reasonable lending practices and Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, Lender shall not in any case be liable for any loss of, or damage to, the Collateral, the risk of which shall be borne by Borrower at all times. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any claim, obligation or liability (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any claim, obligation or liability arising before, after or in connection with an Insolvency Event, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF LENDER other than losses to the extent resulting from Lender’s bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or intentional breach of this Loan Agreement. The indemnity obligation hereunder shall survive repayment of all Obligations and termination of this Loan Agreement until all applicable statute of limitation periods as to actions that may be brought against Lender have run.
8. MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE. On the Maturity Date or, if earlier, the date that the Advances and all accrued interest thereon are paid in full, Lender will compute the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged or received by Lender or payable by Borrower hereunder and compare such amount to the Maximum Lawful Amount that could have been contracted for, charged or received by the Lender. If such computation reflects that the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender or payable by Borrower exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount, then the Lender shall apply such excess to the reduction of the principal balance, and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrower. This provision concerning the crediting or refunding of excess interest shall control and take precedence over all other agreements between Borrower and Lender so that under no circumstance shall the total interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lender exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount.
9. MISCELLANEOUS. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may not assign all or any part of its interest in the Transaction Documents or the Obligations to any Person, or grant a participation of any interest in the Transaction Documents, without the consent of Borrower; provided, however, that after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may assign all or any part of its interest in the Transaction Documents or the Obligations to any Person, or grant a participation of any interest in the Transaction Documents or the Obligations, without the consent of Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower’s consent be required (a) for assignments to or participations by any Affiliate of Lender or (b) with respect to Lender’s pledge or assignment of its interests in or under the Transaction Documents or the Obligations to the Small Business Administration or its designee or otherwise in relation to Lender’s actions pursuant to the Act. This Loan Agreement can be amended, modified, or waived only by an instrument signed by Lender and Borrower. All prior agreements, understandings, and negotiations are superseded by this Loan Agreement. Borrower may not assign any obligation hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.

Each provision of this Loan Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Loan Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. All covenants, representations, and warranties made in this Loan Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations hereunder remain outstanding. This Loan Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws rules.

EXECUTION VERSION
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION UNDER OR EXEMPTION FROM THE SECURITIES ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
Company: |
ACCOLADE, INC., a Delaware corporation |
Number of Shares: |
217,712 Shares |
Class of Stock: |
Common Stock, $0.0001 value per share (“Common Stock”) |
Initial Exercise Price: |
$0.001 per share |
Issue Date: |
January 30, 2017 |
Expiration Date: |
January 30, 2027 (Subject to Article 4.1) |
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, in consideration of the payment of $1.00 and for other good and valuable consideration, ESCALATE CAPITAL PARTNERS SBIC III, LP, or its assigns (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) of ACCOLADE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at the Initial Exercise Price per Share (the “Warrant Price”) all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.
ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE.
1.1 Exercise of Warrant.
1.1.1 Exercisability. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, on or before the Expiration Date set forth above, in the manner set forth in this Article 1.
1.2 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering this Warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise or Exchange in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless this Warrant is exchanged pursuant to Articles 1.3, 1.7 1.8 or 4.1, Holder shall also deliver to the Company payment by wire, check or cash for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.3 Exchange Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Article 1.2, Holder may from time to time exchange this Warrant, in whole or in part, for a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (at the date of such calculation) minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares (at the date of calculation) by (b) the Fair Market Value of one Share (at the date of calculation). The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Article 1.4.
1.4 Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Warrant, “Fair Market Value” shall be determined as follows:
1.4.1 If this Warrant is exchanged in connection with the closing of Company’s initial underwritten public offering of its securities to the general public (the “IPO”) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and if the Company’s registration statement relating to such IPO has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be the initial price to the public of the Shares specified in the final prospectus with respect to such IPO.
1.4.2 If the Common Stock is traded regularly on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be the average closing prices of the Common Stock reported on such exchange for the ten (10) business days immediately prior to the date Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise or Exchange to the Company.
1.4.3 If this Warrant is exchanged in connection with a Sale Transaction (defined below), the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be the price per share which each share of Common Stock is entitled to receive in such Sale Transaction multiplied by the number of Shares.
1.4.4 In all other cases, the Board of Directors of the Company in its reasonable good faith judgment shall determine the fair market value of the Shares as of the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the date Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise or Exchange to the Company.
1.5 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant.
1.5.1 Subject to Section 1.5.2 below, promptly after Holder exercises or exchanges 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 or exchanged and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired or exchanged.
1.5.2 As a condition to the Company’s obligation to issue the Shares and deliver Holder certificates for the Shares acquired, Holder shall execute and deliver to the Company a joinder to (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; (c) the Company’s Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement as in effect at the time of such exercise or exchange and (d) any other agreement governing the rights and obligations of holders of Shares as in effect at the time of such exercise or exchange (collectively, the “Company’s Governing Documents”).
1.6 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 affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at Holder’s expense, shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor.
1.7 Treatment of Warrant Upon Sale Transaction.
1.7.1 Sale Transaction. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Sale Transaction” shall have the meaning set forth in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time). The Company will provide Holder at least ten (10) business days’ prior notice of the estimated closing for any Sale Transaction.
1.7.2 Assumption of Warrant. If upon the closing of any Sale Transaction the successor or surviving entity expressly assumes the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Warrant, then from and after the closing of such Sale Transaction, this Warrant shall be exercisable for the greatest amount of securities, cash and property to which such Holder would actually have been entitled as an equity holder upon the closing of such Sale Transaction if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to the record date (if any) for, or, if no such record date has been determined by Board of Directors of the Company, the closing of, the Sale Transaction, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such closing) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Article 2. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly; provided, however, nothing in this Section 1.7.2 shall require, nor shall the closing of a Sale Transaction be conditioned upon, such successor or surviving entity assuming the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Warrant.
1.7.3 Nonassumption. If upon the closing of any Sale Transaction Holder has not otherwise exercised or exchanged this Warrant in full, then Holder, by written notice to the Company received prior to the closing of such Sale Transaction, may elect (a) to deem this Warrant to have been automatically exchanged for Shares pursuant to Article 1.3 and thereafter Holder shall participate in the Sale Transaction as a holder of Shares on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company or (b) require the successor or surviving entity or the Company, if the successor or surviving entity does not assume the obligations of this Warrant pursuant to Article 1.7.2, to purchase this Warrant upon the closing of the Sale Transaction, subject to the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company participating in the Sale Transaction as if the Warrant were exercised and the Holder held the Shares prior to the Sale Transaction, for an amount equal to the pro rata portion of the aggregate consideration Holder would have received in consideration for the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant in connection with the Sale Transaction had Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for determining such consideration to the security holders, minus the aggregate Warrant Price for such Shares. If, after Holder’s receipt of prior notice of a Sale Transaction provided in accordance with Section 1.7.1 above, Holder elects neither option (a) nor (b) set forth above, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been atomically exercised by “cashless” exercise pursuant to Article 1.3. If this Warrant is automatically exchanged, then the Company shall provide Holder written notice of the automatic exchange as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than three (3) business days after the exchange date) and Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.
1.8 Treatment of Warrant Upon IPO. The Company will provide Holder at least five (5) business days’ prior notice of the estimated closing for any IPO. If Holder has not otherwise exercised or exchanged this Warrant in full immediately prior to the closing of an IPO, this Warrant shall be automatically exchanged for Shares pursuant to Article 1.3 (without any act on the part of Holder) and thereafter Holder shall participate in the IPO as a holder of Shares on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company. If this Warrant is automatically exchanged, the Company shall notify Holder of the automatic exchange as soon as reasonably practicable, and Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.
1.9 Conditional Exercise, Exchange or Sale. The exercise, exchange or sale of this Warrant may at the election of the Holder be contingent upon the Company’s IPO or the closing of a Sale Transaction or other transaction involving the Company, in which case such exercise, exchange or sale shall be deemed to be effective immediately prior to or upon the commencement of the Company’s IPO or the closing of the Sale Transaction or other transaction involving the Company, as applicable.
1.10 No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant. In lieu of such fractional share to which Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Warrant Price multiplied by such fraction.
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1 General; Number of Shares; Warrant Price. The number of Shares that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon each exercise hereof shall be determined by multiplying the number of Shares that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Article 2) be issuable upon such exercise, as designated by the Holder pursuant to Article 1, by a fraction (a) the numerator of which is the Initial Exercise Price and (b) the denominator of which is the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise after giving effect to all adjustments and readjustments required by this Article 2.
2.2 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays after the Issue Date a dividend on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other securities or subdivides the outstanding Common Stock into a greater amount of Common Stock, then upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.
2.3 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Except as otherwise provided herein or as would cause the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Article 1.7, upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised or exchanged immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event and Holder had continued to hold such Shares until after such event. The Company or its successor
shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change to the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Article 2.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.
2.4 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Common Stock is combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, then the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no waiver or amendment to any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or the Company’s Governing Documents shall be deemed to have impaired Holder’s rights if such amendments or waivers do not affect Holder in a manner materially and adversely different than such amendments or waivers generally affect the holders of Common Stock.
2.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS.
3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder as follows:
3.1.1 All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.
3.1.2 The Company’s capitalization table attached to this Warrant as Schedule A is true and complete as of the Issue Date.
3.2 Notice of Certain Events.

3.3 Information Rights. So long as the Holder holds this Warrant and/or any of the Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (a) promptly after mailing, copies of all communiqués to all holders of Shares, (b) within 150 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the annual audited financial statements of the Company (balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows for such year) certified by independent public accountants of recognized standing, and (c) within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, the Company’s monthly, unaudited financial statements (balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows for such month).

In handling any confidential information of the Company, Holder and all employees and agents of Holder shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Warrant except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Transaction Documents, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of the Company and have delivered a copy to the Company, (ii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iii) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Holder, and (iv) as Holder may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies under the Transaction Documents. Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Holder when disclosed to Holder, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Holder through no fault of Holder; or (b) is disclosed to Holder by a third party, provided that Holder does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information.
3.4 Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant, the maximum number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
3.5 No Stockholder Rights. Nothing contained herein shall entitle the Holder to any rights as a stockholder of the Company or to be deemed the holder of any securities that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the rights hereunder for any purpose nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or any other rights of a stockholder of the Company until the rights under the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon exercise of the rights hereunder shall have become deliverable as provided herein.
3.6 Representations and Warranties of Holder. The Holder hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company as follows:
3.6.1 Purchase for Own Account. This Warrant and the securities to be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant by the Holder will be acquired for investment for the Holder’s account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act. Holder also represents that the Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Shares.
3.6.2 Disclosure of Information. The 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 securities. The Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and its underlying securities and to request additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort) necessary to verify any information furnished to the Holder or to which the Holder has access.
3.6.3 Investment Experience. The Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk. The Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that the Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables the Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.
3.6.4 Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
3.6.5 Restrictions on Transfer. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise or exchange 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 the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise or exchange hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless one or more exemptions from such registration and qualification are otherwise available. Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Shares issuable upon exercise or exchange hereof are subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Company’s Governing Documents.
3.6.6 Residency. The principal place of business of Holder is correctly set forth on the signature page hereto.
3.6.7 No Broker or Finder. Holder has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents in connection with the Shares, and the Company has not incurred nor will incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by Holder, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with the Shares.
3.6.8 Tax Advisors. Holder has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. With respect to such matters, the Holder relies solely on any such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its representatives or agents, written or oral. Holder understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant.
3.7 Registration Rights. Subject to the Company’s Governing Documents, if at any time the Company shall determine to register for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act excluding, however, its IPO (other than an Excluded Registration), then the Holder shall have the opportunity to register such number of its Shares as it may request in writing to the Company (a “Piggy-Back Registration”); provided, however, that all such registration rights with respect to shares shall cease and be of no further force and effect at such time as all such shares are first eligible for sale under Rule 144 based upon a cashless exchange of such shares under Article 1.3. “Excluded Registration” means (i) a registration relating to the sale of securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan; (ii) a registration relating to an SEC Rule 145 transaction; (iii) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Company’s Common Stock by its stockholders; or (iv) a registration in which the only shares being registered are shares issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered. The exact terms and conditions of such Piggy-Back Registration rights are set forth in Schedule B.
ARTICLE 4. MISCELLANEOUS.
4.1 Term. This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or before the Expiration Date set forth above. If this Warrant has not been exercised
prior to the Expiration Date and the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the Expiration Date (determined in accordance with Article 1.4) is greater than the Warrant Price, this Warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically exercised (without any act on the part of Holder) on the Expiration Date by “cashless” exercise pursuant to Article 1.3 unless Holder shall earlier provide written notice to the Company that Holder desires that this Warrant expire unexercised. If this Warrant is automatically exercised, then the Company shall notify Holder of the automatic exercise as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.
4.2 Legends. In addition to any other legends required by the Company’s Bylaws and Company Governing Documents, this Warrant and the Shares shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION UNDER OR EXEMPTION FROM THE SECURITIES ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Schedule B
Piggy-Back Registration Rights
1.1 Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders (“Initiating Holders”) other than the Holder) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of the Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.2, cause to be registered all of the securities that the Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.1 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not Holder has elected to include its securities in such registration. The expenses (other than selling expenses and fees and disbursements of Holder’s counsel) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.4.
1.2 Underwriting Requirements.
(a) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the registrable securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, the Company shall include such information in the notice to the Holder. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Initiating Holders, subject only to the reasonable approval of the Company. In such event, the right of Holder to include Holder’s securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If Holder proposes to distribute its securities through such underwriting, it shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise Holder, and the number of securities of Holder that may be included in the underwriting shall be in every respect subordinate, junior and after the number of registrable securities allocated to the Initiating Holders and their respective affiliates and transferees. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
(b) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required to include any of Holder’s securities in such underwriting unless Holder accepts all of the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities requested by Holder to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that
number of Holder’s securities, (which may be no securities) that the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the securities requested by all stockholders with registration rights to be registered can be included in such offering, then the securities of the Holder that are included in such offering shall be in every respect subordinate, junior and after the number of registrable securities allocated to other registering Holders and their affiliates and transferees. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to the Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
1.3 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Schedule B with respect to the securities of the selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s securities.
1.4 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than selling expenses, i.e., underwriting discounts and commissions, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holder, all of which shall be paid by the Holder) incurred in connection with registrations, filing or qualifications pursuant to this Schedule B, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne and paid by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to the securities of the Holder included in the registration statement shall be borne and paid by the Holder.
1.5 Delay of Registration. Holder shall not have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Schedule B.
1.6 Indemnification. If any securities of Holder are included in a registration statement under this Section, the Company and the Holder will enter into customary indemnification and contribution agreements.
1.7 Market-Stand Off. The right of Holder to include Holder’s securities in connection with an IPO shall be conditioned upon Holder entering into a “market stand-off” or “lock-up” agreement required by the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the IPO.
1.8 Limitation on Piggy-Back Registration Rights. The rights of Holder set forth in this Schedule B are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Governing Documents and in the case of any inconsistency between the terms of this Schedule B and the Company’s Governing Documents, the Company’s Governing Documents shall control

Company: |
ACCOLADE, INC., a Delaware corporation |
Number of Shares: |
364,191 Shares |
Class of Stock: |
Common Stock, $0.0001 value per share (“Common Stock”) |
Initial Exercise Price: |
$0.001 per share |
Issue Date: |
December 1, 2014 |
Expiration Date: |
November 20, 2022 (Subject to Article 4.1) |
WHEREAS, the Company previously issued a Warrant exercisable for Common Stock of Accolade, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to Escalate Capital Partners SBIC III, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Escalate”), or its permitted assigns (together with Escalate, “Holder”) on December 1, 2014 (the “Original Warrant”);
WHEREAS, the Company and Holder previously executed the Amended and Restated Warrant on November 20, 2015, (the “Amended and Restated Warrant”) to amend and restate the Original Warrant;
WHEREAS, the Company and Holder have agreed to execute this Second Amended and Restated Warrant (the “Warrant”) to amend and restate the Amended and Restated Warrant; and
WHEREAS, this Warrant shall be given in amendment and restatement, but not in extinguishment or novation, of the Original Warrant or the Amended and Restated Warrant.
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, in consideration of the payment of $1.00 and for other good and valuable consideration, Holder is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) of the Company, at the Initial Exercise Price per Share (the “Warrant Price”) all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.
ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE.
1.1 Exercise of Warrant.
1.1.1 Exercisability. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the Holder in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, on or before the Expiration Date set forth above, in the manner set forth in this Article 1. As of January 30, 2017, 364,191 Shares are fully vested and exercisable.
1.2 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering this Warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless this Warrant is exchanged pursuant to Articles 1.3, 1.7 1.8 or 4.1, Holder shall also deliver to the Company payment by wire, check or cash for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.3 Exchange Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Article 1.2, Holder may from time to time exchange this Warrant, in whole or in part, for a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (at the date of such calculation) minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares (at the date of calculation) by (b) the Fair Market Value of one Share (at the date of calculation). The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Article 1.4.
1.4 Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Warrant, “Fair Market Value” shall be determined as follows:
1.4.1 If this Warrant is exchanged in connection with the closing of Company’s initial underwritten public offering of its securities to the general public (the “IPO”) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and if the Company’s registration statement relating to such IPO has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be the initial price to the public of the Shares specified in the final prospectus with respect to such IPO.
1.4.2 If the Common Stock is traded regularly on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be the average closing prices of the Common Stock reported on such exchange for the ten (10) business days immediately prior to the date Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company.
1.4.3 If this Warrant is exchanged in connection with a Sale Transaction, the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be the price per share which each share of Common Stock is entitled to receive in such Sale Transaction multiplied by the number of Shares.
1.4.4 In all other cases, the Board of Directors of the Company in its reasonable good faith judgment shall determine the fair market value of the Shares as of the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the date Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company.
1.5 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant.
1.5.1 Subject to Section 1.5.2 below, promptly after Holder exercises or exchanges 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 or exchanged and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired or exchanged.
1.5.2 As a condition to the Company’s obligation to issue the Shares and deliver Holder certificates for the Shares acquired, Holder shall execute and deliver to the Company a joinder to (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; (c) the Company’s Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement as in effect at the time of such exercise or exchange and (d) any other agreement governing the rights and obligations of holders of Shares as in effect at the time of such exercise or exchange (collectively, the “Company’s Governing Documents”).
1.6 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 affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at Holder’s expense, shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor.
1.7 Treatment of Warrant Upon Sale Transaction.
1.7.1 Sale Transaction. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Sale Transaction” shall have the meaning set forth in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time). The Company will provide Holder at least ten (10) business days’ prior notice of the estimated closing for any Sale Transaction.
1.7.2 Assumption of Warrant. If upon the closing of any Sale Transaction the successor or surviving entity expressly assumes the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Warrant, then from and after the closing of such Sale Transaction, this Warrant shall be exercisable for the greatest amount of securities, cash and property to which such Holder would actually have been entitled as an equity holder upon the closing of such Sale Transaction if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to the record date (if any) for, or, if no such record date has been determined by Board of Directors of the Company, the closing of, the Sale Transaction, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such closing) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Article 2. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly; provided, however, nothing in this Section 1.7.2 shall require, nor shall the closing of a Sale Transaction be conditioned upon, such successor or surviving entity assuming the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Warrant.
1.7.3 Nonassumption. If upon the closing of any Sale Transaction Holder has not otherwise exercised or exchanged this Warrant in full, then Holder, by written notice to the Company received prior to the closing of such Sale Transaction, may elect (a) to deem this Warrant to have been automatically exchanged for Shares pursuant to Article 1.3 and thereafter Holder shall participate in the Sale Transaction as a holder of Shares on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company or (b) require the successor or surviving entity or the Company, if the successor or surviving entity does not assume the obligations of this Warrant pursuant to Article 1.7.2, to purchase this Warrant upon the closing of the Sale Transaction, subject to the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company participating in the Sale Transaction as if the Warrant were exercised and the Holder
held the Shares prior to the Sale Transaction, for an amount equal to the pro rata portion of the aggregate consideration Holder would have received in consideration for the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant in connection with the Sale Transaction had Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for determining such consideration to the security holders, minus the aggregate Warrant Price for such Shares. If, after Holder’s receipt of prior notice of a Sale Transaction provided in accordance with Section 1.7.1 above, Holder elects neither option (a) nor (b) set forth above, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been atomically exercised by “cashless” exercise pursuant to Article 1.3. If this Warrant is automatically exchanged, then the Company shall provide Holder written notice of the automatic exchange as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than three (3) business days after the exchange date) and Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.
1.8 Treatment of Warrant Upon IPO. The Company will provide Holder at least five (5) business days’ prior notice of the estimated closing for any IPO. If Holder has not otherwise exercised or exchanged this Warrant in full immediately prior to the closing of an IPO, this Warrant shall be automatically exchanged for Shares pursuant to Article 1.3 (without any act on the part of Holder) and thereafter Holder shall participate in the IPO as a holder of Shares on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company. If this Warrant is automatically exchanged, the Company shall notify Holder of the automatic exchange as soon as reasonably practicable, and Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof
1.9 Conditional Exercise, Exchange or Sale. The exercise, exchange or sale of this Warrant may at the election of the Holder be contingent upon the Company’s IPO or the closing of a Sale Transaction or other transaction involving the Company, in which case such exercise, exchange or sale shall be deemed to be effective immediately prior to or upon the commencement of the Company’s IPO or the closing of the Sale Transaction or other transaction involving the Company, as applicable.
1.10 No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant. In lieu of such fractional share to which Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Warrant Price multiplied by such fraction
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1 General; Number of Shares; Warrant Price. The number of Shares that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon each exercise hereof shall be determined by multiplying the number of Shares that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Article 2) be issuable upon such exercise, as designated by the Holder pursuant to Article 1, by a fraction (a) the numerator of which is the Initial Exercise Price and (b) the denominator of which is the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise after giving effect to all adjustments and readjustments required by this Article 2.
2.2 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays after the Issue Date a dividend on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other securities or subdivides the
outstanding Common Stock into a greater amount of Common Stock, then upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.
2.3 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Except as otherwise provided herein or as would cause the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Article 1.7, upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised or exchanged immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event and Holder had continued to hold such Shares until after such event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change to the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Article 2.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.
2.4 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Common Stock is combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, then the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no waiver or amendment to any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or the Company’s Governing Documents shall be deemed to have impaired Holder’s rights if such amendments or waivers do not affect Holder in a manner materially and adversely different than such amendments or waivers generally effect the holders of Common Stock.
2.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS.
3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder as follows:
3.1.1 All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.
3.1.2 The Company’s capitalization table attached to this Warrant as Schedule A is true and complete as of the Issue Date.
3.2 Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time (a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its preferred stock or common stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend; (b) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights; (c) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of common stock or preferred stock; or (d) to enter into a Sale Transaction or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up, then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give Holder (1) at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date on which a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of common stock or preferred stock will be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (a) and (b) above; and (2) in the case of the matters referred to in (c) and (d) above at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and specifying the date on which such holders will be entitled to exchange their common stock or preferred stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
3.3 Information Rights. So long as the Holder holds this Warrant and/or any of the Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (a) promptly after mailing, copies of all communiqués to all holders of Shares, (b) within 150 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the annual audited financial statements of the Company (balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows for such year) certified by independent public accountants of recognized standing, and (c) within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, the Company’s monthly, unaudited financial statements (balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows for such month). Furthermore, the Company shall deliver to Holder (x) within thirty (30) days of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a detailed fully diluted capitalization table for the Company as of the end of the such fiscal quarter, (y) within thirty (30) days after any amendment, revision, alteration or other modification of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, or other applicable formation and governing documents, a copy thereof; and (z) as soon as available, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the Company receives copies of any 409A valuation reports or other documents that value any compensation, equity award, bonus, benefit plan or any other arrangement that could be deemed deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In handling any confidential information of the Company, Holder and all employees and agents of Holder shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its
own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Warrant except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Transaction Documents, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of the Company and have delivered a copy to the Company, (ii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iii) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Holder, and (iv) as Holder may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies under the Transaction Documents. Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either: (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Holder when disclosed to Holder, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Holder through no fault of Holder; or (b) is disclosed to Holder by a third party, provided that Holder does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information.
3.4 Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant, the maximum number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
3.5 No Stockholder Rights. Nothing contained herein shall entitle the Holder to any rights as a stockholder of the Company or to be deemed the holder of any securities that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the rights hereunder for any purpose nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or any other rights of a stockholder of the Company until the rights under the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon exercise of the rights hereunder shall have become deliverable as provided herein.
3.6 Representations and Warranties of Holder. The Holder hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company as follows:
3.6.1 Purchase for Own Account. This Warrant and the securities to be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant by the Holder will be acquired for investment for the Holder’s account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act. Holder also represents that the Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Shares.
3.6.2 Disclosure of Information. The 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 securities. The Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and its underlying securities and to request additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort) necessary to verify any information furnished to the Holder or to which the Holder has access.
3.6.3 Investment Experience. The Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk. The Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that the Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables the Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.
3.6.4 Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
3.6.5 Restrictions on Transfer. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise or exchange 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 the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise or exchange hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless one or more exemptions from such registration and qualification are otherwise available. Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Shares issuable upon exercise or exchange hereof are subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Company’s Governing Documents.
3.6.6 Residency. The principal place of business of Holder is correctly set forth on the signature page hereto.
3.6.7 No Broker or Finder. Holder has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents in connection with the Shares, and the Company has not incurred nor will incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by Holder, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with the Shares.
3.6.8 Tax Advisors. Holder has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. With respect to such matters, the Holder relies solely on any such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its representatives or agents, written or oral. Holder understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant.
3.7 Registration Rights. Subject to the Company’s Governing Documents, if at any time the Company shall determine to register for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act excluding, however, its IPO (other than an Excluded Registration), then the Holder shall have the opportunity to register such number of its Shares as it may request in writing to the Company (a “Piggy-Back Registration”); provided, however, that all such registration rights with respect to shares shall cease and be of no further force and effect at such
time as all such shares are first eligible for sale under Rule 144 based upon a cashless exchange of such shares under Article 1.3. “Excluded Registration” means (i) a registration relating to the sale of securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan; (ii) a registration relating to an SEC Rule 145 transaction; (iii) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Company’s Common Stock by its stockholders; or (iv) a registration in which the only shares being registered are shares issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered. The exact terms and conditions of such Piggy-Back Registration rights are set forth in Schedule B.
ARTICLE 4. MISCELLANEOUS.
4.1 Term. This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or before the Expiration Date set forth above. If this Warrant has not been exercised prior to the Expiration Date and the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the Expiration Date (determined in accordance with Article 1.4) is greater than the Warrant Price, this Warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically exercised (without any act on the part of Holder) on the Expiration Date by “cashless” exercise pursuant to Article 1.3 unless Holder shall earlier provide written notice to the Company that Holder desires that this Warrant expire unexercised. If this Warrant is automatically exercised, the Company shall notify Holder of the automatic exercise as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.

Closing Capitalization
See attached.
Schedule B
Piggy-Back Registration Rights
1.1 Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders (“Initiating Holders”) other than the Holder) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of the Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.2, cause to be registered all of the securities that the Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.1 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not Holder has elected to include its securities in such registration. The expenses (other than selling expenses and fees and disbursements of Holder’s counsel) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.4.
1.2 Underwriting Requirements.
(a) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the registrable securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, the Company shall include such information in the notice to the Holder. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Initiating Holders, subject only to the reasonable approval of the Company. In such event, the right of Holder to include Holder’s securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If Holder proposes to distribute its securities through such underwriting, it shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise Holder, and the number of securities of Holder that may be included in the underwriting shall be in every respect subordinate, junior and after the number of registrable securities allocated to the Initiating Holders and their respective affiliates and transferees. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
(b) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required to include any of Holder’s securities in such underwriting unless Holder accepts all of the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities requested by Holder to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that
number of Holder’s securities, (which may be no securities) that the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the securities requested by all stockholders with registration rights to be registered can be included in such offering, then the securities of the Holder that are included in such offering shall be in every respect subordinate, junior and after the number of registrable securities allocated to other registering Holders and their affiliates and transferees. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to the Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
1.3 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Schedule B with respect to the securities of the selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s securities.
1.4 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than selling expenses, i.e., underwriting discounts and commissions, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holder, all of which shall be paid by the Holder) incurred in connection with registrations, filing or qualifications pursuant to this Schedule B, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne and paid by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to the securities of the Holder included in the registration statement shall be borne and paid by the Holder.
1.5 Delay of Registration. Holder shall not have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Schedule B.
1.6 Indemnification. If any securities of Holder are included in a registration statement under this Section, the Company and the Holder will enter into customary indemnification and contribution agreements.
1.7 Market-Stand Off. The right of Holder to include Holder’s securities in connection with an IPO shall be conditioned upon Holder entering into a “market stand-off” or “lock-up” agreement required by the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the IPO.
1.8 Limitation on Piggy-Back Registration Rights. The rights of Holder set forth in this Schedule B are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Governing Documents and in the case of any inconsistency between the terms of this Schedule B and the Company’s Governing Documents, the Company’s Governing Documents shall control

Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxx
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and between ACCOLADE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and ESCALATE CAPITAL PARTNERS SBIC III, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Escalate”), (a) Escalate has agreed to make term loans available to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000,000, and (b) Escalate acquired from the Company warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Warrant”). This letter is being entered into in connection with the status of Escalate as a small business investment company (“SBIC”), as that term is defined under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Act”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
In consideration of the mutual promises made herein and other good and valuable consideration set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Company hereby agrees as follows:
SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants that:
(a) Company, together with its “affiliates” (as that term is defined in Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations, §121.103), is a “small business concern” as defined in the Act because it meets the small business size standards applicable to the SBIC program under Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations, § 121.301(c).
(b) The Company has 785 employees and engages primarily in business operations that are classified under NAICS 541611.
(c) The Company’s employer identification number is 00-0000000.
(d) Company does not engage in any activities for which an SBIC is prohibited from providing funds by the Act, including Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations, § 107.720.
(e) The information regarding Company and its affiliates set forth in Part A of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Form 1031 Portfolio Financing Report delivered at the Closing is accurate and complete.
(f) The proceeds of the Advances and the Warrant (collectively, the “Proceeds”) will not be used substantially for a foreign operation.
SECTION 2. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with Escalate that:
(a) The Company shall not engage in any activities, nor shall the Company use directly or indirectly any of the Proceeds for any purpose, for which an SBIC is prohibited from providing funds by the Act, including Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations, §107.720.
(b) Company shall provide Escalate and the SBA reasonable access to the Company’s books and records for the purpose of verifying the use of the Proceeds and for all other purposes required by the SBA.
(c) Promptly after the end of each Fiscal Year (but in any event prior to February 28 of each year) during which the Advances remain outstanding or Escalate shall own, directly or indirectly, the Warrant, the Company shall provide to Escalate a written assessment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Escalate, of the economic impact of the financing described herein, specifying the full-time equivalent jobs created or retained, the impact of the financing on the Company’s business in terms of expanded revenue and taxes and other appropriate economic benefits, including, but not limited to, technology development or commercialization, minority business development, urban or rural business development, expansion of exports and assistance to manufacturing firms,
(d) Upon the request of Escalate, for so long as Escalate holds any interest in the Company, directly or indirectly, the Company will (i) provide to Escalate such financial statements and other information as Escalate may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of assessing the Company’s financial condition and (ii) provide to Escalate all information relating to the Company as Escalate may from time to time reasonably request in order to prepare and file SBA Form 468 or as any Governmental Authority asserting jurisdiction over Escalate may reasonably request or require.
(e) Company and each of its Subsidiaries will at all times comply with the non-discrimination requirements of Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 112, 113 and 117 for so long as Escalate holds any interest in the Company, directly or indirectly.
SECTION 3. Eligible Investment. The Company represents and warrants as of the Closing Date and covenants for a period of one year thereafter as follows:
(a) No Re-lender. Company’s primary business activity does not involve, directly or indirectly, providing funds to others, purchasing debt obligations, factoring or long-term leasing of equipment with no provision for maintenance or repair;
(b) No Passive Business. (i) All of the Proceeds will be used for the benefit of the Company in accordance with Section 5.11 of the Loan Agreement and (ii) Company is engaged in a regular and continuous business operation (excluding the mere receipt of payments such as dividends, rents, lease payments or royalties). Company’s employees are carrying on the majority of day-to-day operations of Company, and Company provides effective control and supervision, on a day-to-day basis, over persons employed under contract;
(c) No Real Estate Business. Company is not classified under Major Group 65 (Real Estate) or Industry No. 1531 (Operative Builders) of the SIC Manual. The Proceeds will not be used to acquire or refinance real property unless Company (i) is acquiring an existing property and will use at least 51% of the usable square footage for its business purposes; (ii) is building or renovating a building and will use at least 67% of the usable square footage for its business purposes; or (iii) occupies the subject property and uses at least 67% of the usable square footage for its business purposes;
(d) No Project Finance. Company’s assets are not intended to be reduced or consumed, generally without replacement, as the life of its business progresses, and the nature of Company’s business does not require that a stream of cash payments be made to the business’ financing sources, on a basis associated with the continuing sale of assets (e.g., real estate development projects and oil and gas xxxxx). The primary purpose of the financing provided under the Loan Agreement is not to fund production of a single item or defined limited number of items, generally over a defined production period, where such production will constitute the majority of the activities of Company (e.g., motion pictures and electric generating plants);
(e) No Farm Land Purchases. Company will not use the Proceeds to acquire farm land that is or is intended to be used for agricultural or forestry purposes, such as the production of food, fiber or wood, or is so taxed or zoned; and
(f) No Foreign Investment. The Proceeds will not be used substantially for a foreign operation. On the Closing Date, and for a period of one year thereafter, Company and its Affiliates will not have more than 49% of its employees or tangible assets located outside the United States (unless Company can show, to Escalate’s satisfaction, that the Proceeds were used for a specific domestic purpose).
SECTION 4. Miscellaneous.
(a) Transaction Document. This letter agreement shall constitute a “Transaction Document” under and as defined in the Loan Agreement.
(b) Headings. Descriptive headings are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this letter agreement.
(c) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing and to the addresses and in the manner set forth in the Loan Agreement.
(d) Counterparts. This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement. Facsimile or electronic signatures hereto shall be deemed to have the same force and effect as original signatures.
(e) Benefits of Agreement. All of the terms and provisions of this letter agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(f) Amendments and Waivers. No modification, amendment, supplement, or waiver of any provision of, or consent required by, this letter agreement, nor any consent to any departure from the terms hereof, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the parties hereto. Such modification, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
SECTION 4. GOVERNING LAW. THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS OF SUCH STATE.
[The remainder of this page is intentionally left blank.]
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Letter Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first written above.

Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000-0000
Re: ESCALATE CAPITAL PARTNERS SBIC III, LP
Gentlemen:
This letter will confirm our agreement that pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, and effective as of the date you become (i) a lender (the “Loan Transaction”) to ACCOLADE, INC., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries from time to time (collectively, the “Company”), and (ii) a holder pursuant to that certain Warrant to Purchase Common Stock issued as of the date hereof and that certain Second Amended and Restated Warrant to Purchase Common Stock issued December 1, 2014, each issued by Company in favor of ESCALATE CAPITAL PARTNERS SBIC III, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Investor”) (collectively, the “Transaction”), the Investor shall be entitled to the following contractual management rights, in addition to any rights to non-public financial information, inspection rights and other rights otherwise provided to the Investor in the Loan Transaction:
The Investor shall be entitled, at its sole expense, to consult with and advise management of the Company on significant business issues, including management’s proposed annual operating plans, and management will meet with the Investor regularly during each year at the Company’s facilities at mutually agreeable times for such consultation and advice and to review progress in achieving said plans (the “Management Consulting Right”). Upon reasonable notice and at a scheduled meeting of the board of directors or such other time, if any, in each case as the board of directors may determine in its sole discretion, a representative of the Investor may address the board of directors with respect to the Investor’s concerns regarding significant business issues facing the Company (the “Board Consulting Right”). The Company shall not give a Management Consulting Right or Board Consulting Right to any other institutional investor in the Company without the consent and approval of the Investor.
The Investor may also examine the books and records of the Company and inspect its facilities and properties at reasonable times and intervals, during normal business hours and on reasonable advance notice to the Company, which the Company shall not unreasonably refuse. The Investor may also request information at reasonable times and intervals, during normal business hours and on reasonable advance notice concerning the general status of the Company’s financial condition and operations, including, but not limited to, other investments in the Company, and the Company shall cooperate in that regard, provided that access to (a) material subject to preservation under the attorney/client privilege and/or (b)
facilities or information of a highly confidential proprietary nature, the disclosure of which would be detrimental to the Company, need not be provided. If the Investor is not represented on the Company’s board of directors, then the Company shall, at the request of the Investor, give a representative of the Investor copies of all minutes and other board materials that the Company provides to its directors, including, but not limited to, copies of (i) consolidated balance sheets for the Company for each period such sheets are prepared, and (ii) consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company for each such period such statements are prepared within a reasonable period of time after such information is prepared as requested by the Investor, except that the representative may be excluded from access to any material or any portion thereof if the Company reasonably determines, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege or to protect highly confidential proprietary information or for other similar reasons (including, without limitation, in the context of conflicts of interest). The Company shall provide Investor reasonable advance notice (of at least twenty (20) days) (“Notice Period”) with such information reasonably requested by the Investor in the event that any rights described in this paragraph are provided to any other institutional investor. The Company may not give any of the rights described in this paragraph to any other institutional investor without the consent of the Investor, unless the Investor, with the advice of counsel, reasonably determines during the Notice Period that the provision of any such rights described in this paragraph will not likely jeopardize its status as a Venture Capital Operating Company. The Investor shall notify the Company of its determination required by the directly preceding sentence during the Notice Period.
The Investor agrees, and any representative of the Investor will agree, to hold in confidence and trust and not disclose any confidential information provided to or learned by it in connection with its rights under this letter.
The rights described herein shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the consummation of the sale of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with a firm-commitment underwritten offering of its securities to the public, (b) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company that is effected (i) for independent business reasons unrelated to extinguishing such rights and (ii) for purposes other than (A) the reincorporation of the Company in a different state or (B) the formation of a holding company that will be owned exclusively by the Company’s stockholders and will hold all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company’s successor, or (c) (i) payment in full of all monetary obligations for borrowed money in the Loan Transaction, and (ii) Investor (or one or more of its affiliates) ceases to directly or indirectly retain an ownership interest in the Company, including with respect to that certain Warrant dated as of the date hereof, issued to Investor by the Company or any warrants issued upon the transfer or division of, or in substitution of such Warrant. The confidentiality provisions hereof will survive any such termination. This letter agreement supersedes and replaces the Management Rights Agreement entered into by the parties on December 1, 2014.
