Consulting Agreement

Exhibit 10.1

Consulting Agreement

This Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement’) is made as of August 11, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) and confirms the understanding of the parties with respect to the consulting services that Blue Ox Healthcare Partners, LLC (“Blue Ox”) has agreed to perform for Obalon Therapeutics, Inc. (“Obalon” or the “Company”), as well as Blue Ox’s obligations with respect to Obalon’s confidential information and any intellectual property that may arise from this Agreement.

1. Consulting Services.

Blue Ox will perform or cause an affiliate thereof, as approved by Obalon in writing, to perform consulting services (the “Services”) to the senior management and the Board of Directors of Obalon as an independent contractor through the end of the Term (as defined below in Section 3). These Services shall include the following, which may be more fully set forth or amended in writing by Obalon and Blue Ox:

(a) Work to secure an agreement between Obalon and a major health plan, agreed upon in writing by Obalon and Blue Ox, to conduct an outcomes study that will expand the current clinical evidence base to include health economic analysis on the cost of care reductions from use of the Obalon Balloon System;

(b) Work with the senior management of Obalon to develop a new “go-to-market” strategy;

(c) Work to secure agreements with health plans and other entities that result in reimbursement for and/or utilization of Obalon’s Balloon System; and

(d) other pertinent activities mutually agreed upon by Obalon and Blue Ox.

While working with Obalon, the performance of Blue Ox’s Services will be coordinated and directed by Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, MD, Managing Partner and CEO of Blue Ox and any change must be approved in writing by Obalon. Blue Ox will provide Obalon with 30 days written notice if Xx. Xxxxxxx has a change in title or responsibilities at Blue Ox, of if Blue Ox is no longer Xx. Xxxxxxx’x primary professional pursuit/employer.

2. Compensation.

In consideration of the Blue Ox Services, Obalon will provide Blue Ox with the following:

(a) Consulting Services Fee. Obalon will pay Blue Ox a cash fee of $50,000 per month for a period of six (6) months ($300,000 total) (the "Consulting Services Fee"), payable in advance in two installments of $150,000 each, the first one on the Effective Date and the second one on the first day of the subsequent 3 month period.

(b) Warrants. Obalon will grant Blue Ox on the Effective Date warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Obalon common stock (the "Initial Warrants Grant") at an exercise price equal to a 15% premium to the average closing price for the 10 trading days prior to the Effective Date (the “Warrants Exercise Price”). The warrants will have the terms and conditions in the form set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.

(c) Outcomes Study Grant. Obalon will grant Blue Ox warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of Obalon common stock upon Obalon executing an agreement, arising as a result of Blue Ox’s efforts, with a major health plan agreed upon in writing by Obalon and Blue Ox, for a clinical outcomes study

designed to support a positive coverage determination based on clinical improvements in conditions such as diabetes (the "Outcomes Study Grant"). Alternatively, if a major health plan, agreed upon in writing by Obalon and Blue Ox, elects to bypass any clinical outcomes study and instead enters into a written agreement with Obalon to utilize and reimburse Obalon for the Obalon Balloon System under its health plan without such study, and Blue Ox was the procuring cause for such written agreement, Obalon will make an Outcomes Study Grant to Blue Ox to purchase 500,000 shares rather than 350,000 shares.

Such warrants will have an exercise price equal to the Warrants Exercise Price and will have the terms and conditions in the form set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Blue Ox shall receive the Grant for any such agreement entered into by Obalon either (x) during the Term or (y) during the 18 month period following the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Blue Ox’s efforts shall consist of documented activity by Blue Ox executing the elements of the Services with Obalon and an entity, agreed upon in writing by Obalon and Blue Ox, that may include but not be limited to introductory and ongoing discussions by Blue Ox, presentations by Blue Ox and Obalon, and any form of preliminary contents or scope of an agreement or other proposal material submitted by Blue Ox and Obalon. The issuance of such warrants to Blue Ox shall be made no later than 30 days following Obalon signing any such agreement.

(d) Investment in Future Obalon Financing. If the Company proposes to offer and sell any equity securities of the Company, or securities of any type that are convertible or exchangeable into, or exercisable for, such equity securities (collectively, “New Securities”), then with respect to the first such offering following the date hereof and subject to compliance with NASDAQ and federal and state securities laws, Blue Ox will have a one-time right to purchase New Securities in such offering in an amount equal to the lesser of $5 million or 20% of the New Securities being sold in such offering on the same terms and at the same price as the New Securities are being sold to other participants in the offering. The participation right set forth in this Section 2(d) shall be exercisable in writing for ten (10) days following written notice from the Company setting forth its intention to sell such New Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be considered New Securities: (i) equity securities issued by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of common stock; (ii) equity securities issued to employees, directors, consultants or advisors of the Company pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement in existence as of the date hereof or subsequently approved by the board of directors of the Company; (iii) equity securities issued upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any equity securities outstanding as of the date hereof; (iv) equity securities issued to banks, equipment lessors, or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing, or real property leasing transaction approved by the board of directors; (v) equity securities issued in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, OEM, marketing or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships; (vi) equity securities issued as acquisition consideration pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchases of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement; and (vii) equity securities sold by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC dated February 5, 2020.

(e) Negotiation on Consulting Services Fee for Remainder of Term. Prior to the end of the 6 month period from the Effective Date, Obalon and Blue Ox agree to negotiate in good faith for fair and appropriate compensation, including cash and/or equity, for Blue Ox’s performance of Services

for the remainder of the Term. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on such compensation, Obalon shall pay Blue Ox a cash fee of $50,000 per month on the first business day of each month.

3. Term of Engagement; Termination.

The provisions of this Section 7 will not restrict a Party from disclosing the other Party’s Confidential Information to the extent required by any law or regulation; provided that the Party required to make such a disclosure uses reasonable efforts to give the other Party reasonable advance notice of such required disclosure in order to enable the other Party to prevent or limit such disclosure.

8. Equitable Relief.

(c) Process. The party seeking indemnification of a Claim under this Section shall notify the other Party promptly upon becoming aware of the Claim (but failure to promptly notify shall not release the other

party from its obligations under this Section unless such failure materially prejudices its ability to defend such Claim) and shall permit the other party to control the defense and settlement of such Claim so long as it is for money damages only and such other party first verifies that it agrees to be fully responsible for all liabilities and obligations related to such Claim and that it will provide full indemnification with respect thereto.
