Further Assurances: Each Purchaser and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to fulfill or obtain the fulfillment of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis, including ensuring the Company’s receipt of the Initial Tranche Price and, if applicable, the Subsequent Tranche Price, the execution and delivery of any documents, certificates, instruments or other papers that are reasonably required for the consummation of such transactions, and will cooperate and consult with the other and use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents, and to obtain all necessary permits of, or any exemption by, all governmental authorities, necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

After each Closing Date, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such information, and to execute and deliver such further certificates, agreements and other documents and take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request to consummate or implement such transactions or to evidence such events or matters, provided that the Company agrees to keep any such information provided by any Purchaser confidential, except as required by the federal or UK securities laws, rules or regulations, or as requested by the staff of the SEC, London Stock Exchange plc, the UK Financial Conduct Authority, the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers or other regulatory authority, or to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules or regulations, or any order of a governmental authority, provided the Company shall provide Purchaser an opportunity to review where such laws, rules or regulations permit.

5.2.

Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Company or any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Initial Closing has not been consummated within ten (10) calendar days from the date hereof, provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall not be available to a party if such party’s breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement has been the cause of the failure of the Initial Closing to occur on or before such date.

The seat of arbitration shall be New York City, New York. The number of arbitrators shall be three. The arbitrators shall be neutral and shall be appointed in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrators may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of the Company and the relevant Purchaser, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If more than one arbitration is commenced under this Agreement and any party contends that two or more arbitrations are substantially related and that the issues should be heard in one proceeding, the arbitrators selected in the first-filed proceeding shall determine whether, in the interests of justice and efficiency, the proceedings should be consolidated before those arbitrators.

5.12.

Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by email delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page was an original thereof.

5.13.

Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

5.14.

Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any of the Company’s securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity or bond, if requested. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement securities.

5.15.

Remedies. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy if any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity, each party hereto shall be entitled to injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement without posting any bond or other undertaking.

5.16.

Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for share consolidations and sub-divisions, share dividends, changes in the ADS to Ordinary Share ratio and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs that occur after the date of this Agreement.

5.17.

Disclosure of Transactions and Other Material Information. The Company shall, before 9:30 a.m., New York time, on the first (1st) business day after the date of this Agreement, issue a press release (the “Press Release”) disclosing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. From and after the issuance of the Press Release, the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have disclosed all material, nonpublic information or inside information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents (if any) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication where applicable laws, rules or regulations permit. Without the prior written consent of any applicable Purchaser, the Company shall not (and shall cause each

of its subsidiaries and affiliates to not) disclose the name of such Purchaser in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the SEC and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, Nasdaq or AIM regulations or the UK Takeover Code, in which case the Company shall provide the applicable Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted hereunder where applicable laws, rules or regulations permit.

5.18.

Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Purchasers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Purchasers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase the Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser making its investment hereunder and that no other Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring such Purchaser’s investment in the Ordinary Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

5.19.

Authorized Agent. The Company irrevocably appoints Renalytix AI, Inc., located at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its authorized agent in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such authorized agent, and written notice of such service to the Company by the person serving the same to the address provided in this Section 5.19, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding.

The Company further agrees to take any and all action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such authorized agent in full force and effect for a period of seven years from the date of this Agreement.
