Master Agreement
Exhibit 10.22
CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE TEMPUS AI, INC. HAS DETERMINED THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) IS THE TYPE THAT TEMPUS AI, INC. TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL.
Master Agreement
This Master Agreement (inclusive of all Exhibits and Order Forms, the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Tempus Labs, Inc. (on behalf of itself and its affiliates, “Tempus”), and Recursion Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Client” or “Recursion”). Tempus and Recursion are each individually a “Party” and are collectively the “Parties.”
Background
Tempus is a technology company dedicated to advancing precision medicine through its proprietary products and services. Recursion would like to use Tempus’ technology and data as further described in this Agreement.
Agreement
In consideration of the mutual promises described below, the Parties agree as follows:
1. | General. During the Term, Tempus will provide “Services” and “Deliverables,” each to the extent expressly identified in an Exhibit or fully executed Order Form under this Agreement. Tempus will also grant Client a license to certain “Licensed Data” or “Software,” also to the extent included in an Exhibit or a fully executed “Order Form.” The activities contemplated as of the date of this Agreement are described in the attached Exhibit(s), which may be supplemented by the Parties from time to time. Tempus will perform all Services in a professional and workmanlike manner using personnel appropriately skilled in the art of the requested Services. |
2. | Fees. Client agrees to pay Tempus all fees listed in the applicable Exhibit or Order Form. Invoices under this Agreement are due and payable by Client within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Interest will apply to any undisputed, overdue invoices at a rate of the lesser of (a) 1.0% per month, and (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Client is responsible for payment of any taxes arising out of or related to this Agreement. |
3. | Insurance. During the Term, each Party will maintain the following insurance at its own expense: (i) commercial general liability insurance with limits not less than $1 million per occurrence and $3 million annual aggregate; (ii) professional liability/errors and omissions insurance with limits not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate; and (iii) workers’ compensation insurance at statutory limits (minimum $500,000). The insurance required above may be maintained through umbrella and/or self-insurance. |
4. | Research Use Only. Client agrees that unless otherwise specified in the applicable Exhibit or Order Form, information provided by Tempus under this Agreement is for research use and, as expressly set for herein, other Permitted Uses only. Client also agrees that: (a) Tempus does not recommend, endorse, or make any representation about the efficacy or appropriateness of any therapy, procedure, or treatment described in any report or information made available by Tempus; (b) if reports and information provided by Tempus are reviewed by a treating clinician, that clinician (and not Tempus) is responsible for decisions regarding patient care; and (c) Client is solely responsible for its use of reports and information made available by Tempus. All information and reports provided by Xxxxxx are subject to any notes, explanations, limitations, and disclaimers included therein. |
5. | Client’s Policies. Because Client is in the best position to interpret and apply its requirements and those of its affiliates, Client agrees that Client is solely responsible for complying with all such policies, rules, guidelines, and similar requirements, including, where applicable, requirements that govern research subject consent; the collection, processing, transfer, analysis, use, and storage of research subject specimens and data; and similar laws and regulations that apply to Client or its affiliates (collectively, “Client Requirements”). Client will only provide specimens and data to Tempus to the extent such transfer, and Tempus’ use of the specimens and data in accordance with this Agreement, complies with Client Requirements. Tempus disclaims any responsibility and liability for any breach of Client Requirements. |
6. | Privacy, Confidentiality, and Intellectual Property. |
a. | Privacy. If Client provides Tempus with protected health information (as defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”)) (“PHI”) under this Agreement, the Parties will enter into a business associate agreement, which will be deemed incorporated into this Agreement. |
b. | Non-disclosure. Any non-public information provided by a Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) in connection with this Agreement, including specific terms and pricing, is the Disclosing Party’s “Confidential Information.” During the Term and the subsequent three (3) year period, the Receiving Party will maintain all Confidential Information in confidence and use it only as reasonably necessary to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement. Confidential Information excludes information that (i) is publicly available through no fault of the Receiving Party or anyone to whom the Receiving Party made such information available; (ii) was lawfully obtained by the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party; (iii) the Receiving Party can conclusively demonstrate was legally in its possession before the Disclosing Party provided it to the Receiving Party; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party or on its behalf without the use of any information provided to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party. In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the De-Identified Data (defined below) and any aggregated or otherwise de-identified data stored in Tempus’ technology platform is not Client’s Confidential Information under this Agreement. |
c. | Intellectual Property. Except to the extent expressly stated otherwise, this Agreement does not grant either Party a license to or any right in the other Party’s intellectual property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tempus reserves all rights in Tempus Materials, during the Term and otherwise. “Tempus Materials” means any data, technology, software, formulas, techniques or know-how and other tangible and intangible items that are owned or created by Tempus, and “Recursion Materials” means any data, technology, software, formulas, techniques or know-how and other tangible and intangible items that are owned or created by Recursion. Tempus will be and remain, at all times, the sole owner of the Tempus Materials, including any replacements, improvements, updates, enhancements, derivative works, and other modifications to the same. Recursion will be and remain, at all times, the sole owner of the Recursion Materials, including any replacements, improvements, updates, enhancements, derivative works, and other modifications to the same. Recursion will also own its copy of items provided under this Agreement that are expressly described as Deliverables in the applicable Exhibit or Order Form. For clarification, Licensed Data shall be considered Tempus Materials and never a Deliverable. Tempus Materials shall not include End User Generated Results, as defined in Exhibit 1, or other any other Recursion Materials. |
d. | Data. In service of Tempus’ mission to advance precision medicine, Tempus makes use of de-identified data to facilitate innovation in therapies and patient care and to continuously improve its technology, computational and predictive models, and other products and services. Accordingly, except as stated otherwise in an Exhibit or Order Form, Tempus may retain a de-identified copy of all Deliverables generated by and clinical data made available to Tempus under this Agreement (collectively, the “De-Identified Data”). To the extent necessary, Tempus will de-identify such data in accordance with HIPAA, and for purposes of this Agreement, genomic sequencing data without other identifiers is not considered identifiable. Tempus owns the De-Identified Data and may use and share it for any purposes permitted under applicable law. |
7. | Indemnification. |
a. | Mutual. Each Party will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other Party, its board, officers, employees, suppliers, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any costs, losses, damages, liabilities, expenses, demands and judgments, including court costs and attorney fees (collectively, “Losses”) that arise out of a third party claim based on the negligent acts or willful misconduct of the indemnifying Party’s employees or agents that directly cause bodily injury or tangible property damage, if the injury or damage directly arises out of performance of this Agreement. |
b. | By Tempus. Tempus will defend, indemnify, and hold Client, its board, officers, employees, suppliers, agents, successors, and assigns harmless from and against any Losses that arise out of a third party claim alleging that the Tempus Materials used in providing the Services or any Software, Licensed Data or Deliverable directly infringes a copyright, a U.S. patent issued as of the Effective Date, or any third party trademark or violates applicable law. Tempus’ obligations under this Subsection are Client’s sole and exclusive remedy and Tempus’ sole obligation for any alleged infringement of intellectual property. Tempus does not have any obligations under this Subsection for claims of infringement or misappropriation based upon or arising out of: (i) any Licensed Data, Deliverable, Software, or Tempus Materials modified without Tempus’ approval; (ii) the use of any Licensed Data, Deliverable, Software, or Tempus Materials in combination with materials not provided by Tempus; or (iii) the use of any Licensed Data, Deliverable, Software, or Tempus Materials other than as permitted under this Agreement. |
c. | By Client. Client will defend, indemnify, and hold Tempus, its directors, officers, employees, suppliers, agents, successors, and assigns harmless from and against any Losses that arise out of a third party claim regarding its use of any Services, Software, Licensed Data, or Deliverables. |
d. | Process. The indemnification obligations in this Section are subject to the “Indemnified Party”: (i) giving prompt notice to the “Indemnifying Party” of the claim for which indemnification is sought; (ii) reasonably cooperating in its defense; and (iii) granting the Indemnifying Party control over its defense and settlement. Any delay in notice will only excuse the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Section to the extent its defense of the claim is adversely affected. The Indemnifying Party will not agree to any finding of fault, action, or forbearance by the Indemnified Party without its advance written consent. |
8. | Limitations. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES SUFFERED BY THE OTHER OR ANY OTHER PERSON ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SERVICES OR ACTIVITIES HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY WERE OTHERWISE FORESEEABLE. IN ADDITION, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL TEMPUS OR CLIENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY |
INDIVIDUAL CLAIM, OR IN THE AGGREGATE FOR ALL CLAIMS, FOR ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE GREATER OF THE FEES PAID BY CLIENT TO TEMPUS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000). THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION DO NOT APPLY TO EITHER PARTY’S PAYMENT OR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS. TEMPUS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. |
9. | Term and Termination. |
a. | Term. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and will continue until the date that is five (5) years after the Effective Date (the “Term”). Sections 4-10 will survive termination of this Agreement. |
b. | Termination. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other has committed a material breach that is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from the non-breaching Party. In addition, after the first three (3) years of the Term, Client may terminate this Agreement at its convenience and at any time by providing at least ninety (90) days written notice to the other Party, however, such termination will not apply to any ongoing Order Form(s) unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, and applicable terms of the Agreement will survive until the surviving Order Form(s) are completed or terminated. In the event of such termination for convenience by the Client, Client will pay to Tempus an amount equal to (a) $[***] per unique record of Downloaded Data that Client has downloaded prior to termination less (b) the sum of any Annual License Fees paid prior to termination (the “Early Termination Fee”). [***]. |
c. | Regulatory Changes. If either Party (the “Noticing Party”) determines in good faith that a change in applicable law or regulation, or a change in how a current law or regulation is interpreted, (i) makes any part of this Agreement illegal or unenforceable, or (ii) materially changes the economic benefit or cost of performing this Agreement, then the Noticing Party will provide the other Party with a proposed amendment to this Agreement to address such change. The Parties will negotiate such amendment in good faith. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days of the initial notice, this Agreement will continue; provided that provisions materially impacted by the change in law or regulation (or interpretation thereof) shall be null and void, but only if such provisions are severable from the Agreement in a manner that does not materially impact the cost of performance or the economic benefit of the Agreement to either Party; if such condition is not met, the Agreement will terminate upon the expiration of such notice if the parties do not enter into a fully executed amendment addressing the matter. No liability will accrue to either Party for failure to perform under this Agreement during the period between notice under this Subsection and the earlier of (x) any amendment to or termination of this Agreement and (y) the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period. |
d. | Termination Upon Bankruptcy, Insolvency and the Like. Subject to applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws, if either party (i) ceases the active conduct of business; (ii) voluntarily becomes subject to a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under federal or state statute; (iii) has filed against it an involuntary petition for bankruptcy that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing; (iv) becomes insolvent or subject to direct control by a trustee, receiver, or similar authority; or (v) winds up or liquidates its business, voluntarily or otherwise, then the other party may, at its sole option, terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the first party. All rights and licenses granted by Tempus to Client under or pursuant to any section of this Agreement are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and other similar laws in any jurisdiction (collectively, with similar laws in which such sections appear, |
the “Bankruptcy Laws”), nonexclusive licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under the Bankruptcy Laws. The parties will retain and may fully exercise all of their respective rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Laws. All rights, powers and remedies of the parties as provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Laws) in the event of the commencement of a case by or against the other party under the Bankruptcy Laws. |
10. | Miscellaneous. |
a. | Governing Law and Disputes. This Agreement will be governed exclusively by the laws of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts in Cook County, Illinois. The Parties will use good faith efforts to work together to resolve any disputes related to this Agreement, using mutually escalating discussions as needed. |
b. | Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for any failure or delay of performance to the extent resulting from a cause outside of its reasonable control, such as natural disaster, strike, fire, pandemic, governmental action, terrorism, or war. |
c. | Anti-Corruption. Neither Party has received or been offered any illegal or improper payment, bribe, kickback, gift, or other item of value from an employee or agent of the other Party in connection with this Agreement. The Parties intend for their relationship and interactions under this Agreement to comply with the following: (i) the federal anti-kickback statute (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(b)) and the associated safe harbor regulations; and (ii) the limitation on certain physician referrals (Xxxxx Law) (42 U.S.C. § 1395nn). Accordingly, no part of any remuneration provided under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties is a prohibited payment in exchange for recommending or arranging for the referral of business or the ordering of items or services, or otherwise intended to induce illegal referrals of business. |
d. | Exclusion and Debarment. As of the date of this Agreement and to the best of Tempus’ knowledge, neither Tempus nor any Tempus personnel providing Services under this Agreement: (i) have been the subject of a debarment proceeding under 21 U.S.C. § 335a; (ii) are excluded from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, or any other federal or state health care program; or (iii) are the subject of any government investigation that could result in such debarment or exclusion. If Tempus becomes aware of such an event during the Term with respect to Tempus personnel, it will promptly terminate its relationship with the affected personnel or remove them from providing Services to Client. If Tempus becomes aware of such an event with respect to itself during the Term, it will promptly inform Client, and Client may immediately terminate this Agreement. |
e. | Notice. Notice required under this Agreement will be in writing, delivered to the address for each Party listed above, and clearly identifiable as a legal notice. Client will designate its billing contact and invoice address, and any subsequent changes to such information, by email to xxxxxxx@Xxxxxx.xxx. All notices to Tempus should be sent to xxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx. |
f. | Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement is binding upon, and will inure to the benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Either Party may assign its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement to any of its affiliates or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets; provided, in the case of such an assignment by Xxxxxx, Tempus provides within reasonable amount of time written notice to Client of any such permitted assignment and the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation with respect to |
permitting Client to download, store, copy, use, compile, display, and access the Licensed Data, in each case in accordance with the rights and licenses set forth herein; and further provided, in the case of such an assignment by Recursion, the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and also provided that Recursion may not assign this Agreement if the assignee is a Top 20 pharmaceutical company based on annual revenues for the trailing 12 months prior to assignment (each, a “Top 20 Pharma Company”), without the prior written consent of Tempus, not to be unreasonably withheld. If Tempus withholds its consent to a proposed assignment of this Agreement by Recursion to a Top 20 Pharma Company, Recursion shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tempus and payment of the Early Termination Fee, minus a [***] discount. Any other purported assignment is void. |
g. | Subcontracting. Tempus may subcontract certain of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any Tempus subcontractor is subject to the terms of this Agreement that would otherwise apply to Tempus, and Tempus is responsible for the acts and omissions of its subcontractor to the same extent as it is responsible for its own acts and omissions. |
h. | Use of Name and Marks. To the extent legally required and subject to redaction of information that is not required to be disclosed (e.g., detailed pricing), each Party has the right to make public statements regarding the existence of this Agreement and an accurate description of the Services without the consent of the other Party. Neither Party may use the other Party’s name or marks for any other purpose without the other Party’s advance written consent. Any approved use of the other Party’s logo must be in the approved form and subject to any usage guidelines provided by the other Party. |
i. | Relationship of the Parties. The Parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the Parties. |
j. | Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement, which includes all Exhibits and fully executed Order Forms, and amendments, is the entire understanding between the Parties on its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions, representations, and agreements, oral or written, between the Parties. Subject to Section 1 of the Agreement, Tempus shall accept any Client purchase orders made in accordance with this Agreement; provided any additional or inconsistent terms or conditions of any such purchase orders or similar standardized form given or received pursuant to this Agreement shall not be binding on Tempus and are hereby excluded. There are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement. If any provision in this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement will remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, so long as such change does not materially change the cost or benefit of the Agreement to a Party. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived, only by a writing signed by the Parties. Failure to enforce any term of this Agreement is not a waiver. The terms of any Exhibit or fully executed Order Form will supersede the body of this Agreement to the extent necessary to address a direct conflict. |

3. | Licensed Data Services. Tempus can provide certain Services to assist Client with using, accessing, and understanding the Licensed Data. Tempus will provide the Licensed Data Services described below in an amount (or for the duration) set forth in an Order Form executed by the parties (unless otherwise specified below): |

TEMPUS WILL NOT PROVIDE STRATEGIC COLLABORATION SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT UNLESS AND UNTIL APPROVED IN A SEPARATE MUTUALLY AGREED UPON WORK ORDER. |
4. | Implementation of Licensed Data Terms. |
a. | Recursion Environment. Following the Effective Date, Recursion will establish, to the extent not already established, a secure environment (the “Recursion Environment”), which will be subject to industry best-practices technical and administrative security safeguards, to enable Recursion to carry out the Permitted Use activities described in this Exhibit, including accessing the Downloaded Data and for Permitted Uses. Recursion may store data, information, tools, software, and other materials other than the Licensed Data (“Additional Data”) in the Recursion Environment to carry out the Permitted Use activities described in this Exhibit.

Recursion may not exceed [***] downloaded records of Downloaded Data at any one time (the “Downloaded Data Cap”). If Recursion wants to exceed [***] records, it must return an equal number of records of Downloaded Data so that the maximum number of records of Downloaded Data in the Recursion Environment at any time does not exceed [***]. Additionally, Recursion will not be permitted to access more than an aggregate total of [***] |
unique records of Downloaded Data during the Term (collectively, the “Multi-Modal Record Category”), unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. [***]. Upon request of Downloaded Data files, Xxxxxx will deliver the requested files as promptly as possible [***]. Tempus will provide Client with reasonable filtering parameters that will facilitate compliance with the timeline described in the immediately preceding sentence. |
c. | Evaluation Period for De-Identified Records. Recursion may download Downloaded Data for a period of 180 days from the date of download (the “Evaluation Period”). At the end of the 180-day Evaluation Period, Recursion must either return the Downloaded Data to Tempus or license them pursuant to an Order Form and the terms and conditions set forth herein. In all instances, the License Term for use of the Downloaded Data will terminate upon any termination or expiration of the Agreement. |
d. | Transfer of De-Identified Records. If Recursion elects to license the records, it will be permitted to transfer the files outside of the Recursion Environment and into any other secured repository subject to (i) Tempus’ express written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) the terms and conditions set forth herein. Recursion will indicate its interest to license the records by providing written notice to Tempus prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period. Any de- identified record transferred to Recursion pursuant to this Section shall be considered Licensed Data. |
e. | License Term for De-Identified Records. Subject to the terms of the applicable Order Form and this Agreement, Recursion will be permitted to retain each Licensed Data record it elects to license pursuant to Sections 4(d) of this Exhibit until the later to occur of (i) five years, or (ii) the date on which the applicable Licensed Data record no longer has a regulatory use for a therapeutic in development by Client (the “Licensed Record Term”). At the conclusion of the Licensed Record Term, Recursion will return or destroy the record and all Reproductions thereof and certify such return or destruction in writing. |
f. | Maximum Number of De-Identified Records. During the Term, Recursion will be entitled to license up to a maximum of [***] Licensed Data records in the aggregate pursuant to Sections 4(c)-(d). Tempus, in its sole discretion, will determine whether Recursion will be permitted to exceed [***] Licensed Data records during the Term. |
5. | Compensation. |
a. | Per De-Identified Record Fee. For each Licensed Data record licensed pursuant to Sections 4(c)-(d) of this Exhibit, Recursion will pay Tempus an annual license fee [***]. |
b. | Annual License Fee. Promptly after the Effective Date, Tempus will invoice Recursion for the first annual license fee hereunder, in an amount equal to $22,000,000 (the “Initial License Fee”).

The Initial License Fee and each Annual License Fee shall be payable at Recursion’s option either in the form of (x) cash, (y) shares of Class A Common Stock of Recursion, par value of $0.00001 per share (“Recursion Class A Common Stock”), or (z) a combination of cash and shares of Recursion Class A Common Stock in such proportion as is determined by Recursion in its sole discretion; provided that (a) the aggregate number of shares of Recursion Class A Common Stock that Recursion may issue in connection with all payments under |
this Agreement shall not exceed the Share Maximum and (b) all or any portion of the Initial License Fee or any Annual License fee shall be payable in the Form of Recursion Class A Common Stock only if (i) all representations and warranties of Recursion set forth in Section 5.c. below are true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to “materiality,” which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at and as of the date on which such fee is paid as though made on such date, (ii) Recursion has obtained any and all consents, permits, approvals, registrations and waivers necessary for the issuance of such shares of Recursion Class A Common Stock, all of which are in full force and effect, and (iii) Recursion has filed with Nasdaq a Notification Form: Listing of Additional Shares for the listing of such shares of Recursion Class A Common Stock. In the event that all or any portion of the Initial License Fee or any Annual License Fee shall be payable in the form of Recursion Class A Common Stock, Recursion shall, subject to the Share Maximum, issue to Tempus a number of shares of Recursion Class A Common Stock equal to (1) the amount of such fee divided by (2) the VWAP of Recursion Class A Common Stock for the seven (7) Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding (and including) the date that is five (5) business days before the date on which such fee is paid.

“Trading Day” means any day on which Recursion Class A Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, or, if The Nasdaq Global Select Market is not the principal trading market for Recursion Class A Common Stock as such time, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which Recursion Class A Common Stock is then traded.
“Transfer Agent” means the transfer agent for the Recursion Class A Common Stock.
“VWAP” means, with respect to any multi-day period, the dollar volume-weighted average price for Recursion Class A Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which it is then traded during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time (or such other time as such market publicly announces is the official open of trading) on the first day of such multi-day period and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time (or such other time as such market publicly announces is the official close of trading) on the last day of such multi-day period, as reported by Bloomberg through its “HP” function (set to weighted average) or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of Recursion Class A Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the applicable electronic bulletin board during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time on the first day of such multi-day period and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time on the last day of such multi-day period, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of Recursion Class A Common Stock of any of the market makers as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. during such multi-day period. If the VWAP cannot be calculated for multi-day period on any of
the foregoing bases, the VWAP shall be the fair market value per share of Recursion Class A Common Stock at the end of such multi-day period as mutually agreed by Tempus and Recursion. If Tempus and Recursion are unable to reach such mutual agreement on the fair market value per share of Recursion Class A Common Stock within twenty (20) days after any amount Recursion has determined to pay in shares of Recursion Class A Common Stock becomes payable, Recursion shall pay such amount to Tempus in cash.
c. | Representations and Warranties of Recursion. Recursion hereby represents and warrants to Tempus as of the date of this Agreement and as of each date that all or any portion of the Initial License Fee or any Annual License Fee is paid in the form of Recursion Class A Common Stock that: |

INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
e. | Registration of Recursion Class A Common Stock. |
i. | Recursion shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file or cause to be filed a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act with the SEC (it being agreed that if Recursion is a well-known seasoned issuer as of the filing date, such registration statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement, or a prospectus supplement to an effective automatic shelf registration statement, that shall become effective upon filing with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(e) of the Securities Act) providing |
for the resale by Xxxxxx of all shares of Recursion Class A Common Stock issued with respect to the Initial License Fee or any Annual License Fee, if any, as soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after each such issuance. Recursion shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such registration statement to become effective as promptly as possible but in any event within thirty (30) days (or, in the event of a full review, up to ninety (90) days to the extent necessary) following its respective initial filing date and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until all shares registered thereunder have been sold or may be sold without restriction or volume limitation under Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”). Recursion will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Tempus for review at least five (5) business days in advance of the anticipated initial filing date. In no event shall Tempus be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Recursion may suspend the use of any prospectus included in any registration statements contemplated by this Section 5.e for not more than sixty (60) consecutive days or for a total of not more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period (an “Allowed Suspension”) in the event that Recursion determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material nonpublic information concerning Recursion, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of Recursion, in the best interests of Recursion or (B) amend or supplement any such registration statement or the related prospectus so that such registration statement or prospectus shall not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided, that Recursion shall promptly notify Tempus in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Suspension and advise Tempus in writing to cease all sales under such registration statement until the end of the Allowed Suspension. |
ii. | Recursion shall: (A) advise Tempus by email to xxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx (1) as promptly as practicable after a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective other than, in each case, the filing or effectiveness of any amendment or deemed amendment that is made through the filing of any incorporated document; (2) as promptly as practicable of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information with respect thereto other than, in each case, for any such request or such additional information that relates to documents incorporated in any Registration Statement or prospectus; (3) within two (2) trading days after the date of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (4) within two (2) trading days after the receipt by Recursion of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the shares of Recursion Class A Common Stock included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (5) within four (4) trading days after the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus or the documents incorporated therein so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided that the Company will not have any obligation to advise Tempus pursuant to this clause ii.(A)(5) to the extent that the information is filed with the SEC within such four (4) trading days; and provided further that Recursion shall not, when so advising Tempus of such events pursuant to this clause ii.(A)(5), be required to provide |
Tempus with any material, non-public information regarding Recursion, and (B) with a view to making available to Tempus the benefits of Rule 144 that may, at such times as Rule 144 is available to Tempus, permit Tempus to sell securities of Recursion to the public without registration, Recursion agrees to, for so long as Tempus owns shares of Recursion Class A Common Stock, use commercially reasonable efforts to: (1) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 and (2) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Recursion under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as Recursion remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144. |
iii. | Subject to receipt from Tempus by Recursion and the Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Recursion and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, Recursion shall remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing the shares of Recursion Class A Common Stock issued hereunder and Recursion will, if required by the Transfer Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause an opinion of Recursion’s counsel be provided, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, (1) following the time the Registration Statement is declared effective, (2) if such shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or (3) if such shares are eligible for resale under Rule 144(b)(1) or any successor provision without the requirement for Recursion to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions applicable to the sale or transfer of such Shares. If restrictive legends are no longer required for such shares pursuant to the foregoing, Recursion shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section and within two (2) trading days of any request therefor from Tempus accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions to make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares. Tempus agrees with Recursion that it will only sell shares of Recursion Class A Common Stock pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if shares are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing shares as set forth above is predicated upon Recursion’s reliance upon this understanding. |
iv. | Recursion agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Tempus, its directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents, and each person who controls Tempus (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of Tempus (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (“Losses”) that arise out of, are based on or are caused by (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or preliminary |
prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (B) subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Tempus in Section 5.d above and compliance by Tempus with applicable federal and state securities laws with respect to the Issued Recursion Shares, any violation by Recursion of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to action or inaction required of Recursion in connection with registration of any Issued Recursion Shares thereunder, except to the extent, but only to the extent, such Losses are based solely upon information regarding Tempus furnished in writing to Recursion by or on behalf of Tempus expressly for use therein or was reviewed and approved in writing by Tempus expressly for use in the Registration Statement. |
v. | Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Recursion, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls Recursion (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Losses that arise out of, are based on or are caused by (A) any breach or violation of any representations and warranties of Tempus in Section 5.d above, or any failure by Tempus to comply with applicable federal and state securities laws with respect to the issuance or transfer of any Issued Recursion Shares, (B) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is based on information regarding Tempus furnished in writing to Recursion by or on behalf of Tempus expressly for use therein, and (C) the use by Tempus of a prospectus during an Allowed Suspension after Recursion has notified Tempus in writing of such Allowed Suspension. In no event shall the aggregate liability of Tempus under this clause (v) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Tempus upon the sale of the shares issued pursuant to this Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. |

(“Client”), incorporates by reference the Lens Terms of Use (accessible via Lens), and is subject to that Master Agreement entered into between the Parties (as may be amended or restated, the “Master Agreement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Master Agreement.
1. | Software and Accounts. |
a. | Software. The “Software” is Tempus’ LENS software, an online application that permits the viewing and analysis of clinical, molecular, and other health data (collectively “Data”) maintained by Tempus. The Software provides a view of health information that does not include the 18 identifiers listed in the Safe Harbor method for de-identification set forth in 45 C.F.R. § 164.514(b)(2)(i). The features, functionality, user interface, look-and-feel, and other aspects of the Software may change from time to time in Tempus’ sole discretion, provided that Tempus will provide Client with the most recent version of the Software so long as Client remains current on the Subscription Fee. |
b. | Provision of LENS. Tempus will make the Software available to Client pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. Client may provide Software access to up to [***] named employees or contractors of Client or its affiliates, and Client will notify Tempus which such individuals should be granted access to the Software (each, a “User”). Client will also provide Tempus with contact information for one or more authorized representatives to manage all available access limitations. Tempus will rely on Client and/or its authorized representative to manage its LENS permissions. Each User must keep their account credentials for the Software confidential. Client is responsible for all acts and omissions of its Users. |
2. | Subscription Fee. Recursion will pay Tempus $[***] per year for the duration of the Term (“Subscription Fee”). Tempus will issue the first invoice as of the Effective Date and subsequent invoices annually through the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date. The total Subscription Fee will be $[***] during the Term, and shall continue at the same rate of $[***] per year if the Master Agreement is extended or renewed in accordance with the Master Agreement. |
3. | Term and Termination. The Term of the Master Agreement is incorporated by reference. In addition, Client’s license to use the Software will terminate as of the termination date of the Master Agreement. In addition, Tempus may suspend Client’s access to the Software without liability upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Client (which such notice period may be reduced or eliminated in Tempus’ reasonable discretion to address a material security threat), if (a) Client or any User breaches this Subscription Agreement, or (b) Tempus has reason to believe that Client or any person or entity accessing the Software through Client is abusing the Software or is using it unlawfully or in a manner that threatens the security or integrity of the Software, and in each case does not cure such breach or threat to the security or integrity of the Software during such thirty (30)-day period. |
4. | Optional Structured Data Services for Healthcare Providers. |
a. | Data Updates. The health data made available to Client through the Software may include the health records of patients who received care or participated in research through Client and/or its affiliates.

Client may provide Tempus with updated medical records from such patients or records of other patients who received sequencing or other testing from laboratories other than Tempus (collectively, “Data Updates”), to improve the view of the health data available to Client through the Software. |
b. | Description of Data Structuring Services. If Client provides Data Updates to Tempus, Tempus will extract data elements from the records, organize those data elements into a structured format, and make the structured data available through the Software. Tempus will treat all protected health information received under this Section 4 in accordance with the terms of the BAA, if any. Client retains ownership of any protected health information provided to Tempus hereunder. |
