3.2 Series A Preferred Stock Issuance. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and as partial consideration for the license grants and transfers of assets contemplated by this Agreement, on the Effective Date Day One will issue to Takeda, and Takeda will acquire from Day One 9,857,143 duly authorized and validly issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock which is equal to [*] of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Day One on a Fully-Diluted Basis as of immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Series A Purchase Agreement and the Stock Issuance Agreement. Takeda will, as a condition to such issuance become a party the Stock Issuance Agreement, voting agreement, right of first refusal and co-sale agreement, and investors’ rights agreement (collectively, with the Series A Purchase Agreement, such agreements, the “Series A Preferred Stock Transaction Agreements”) with Day One and/or the other purchasers of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with such financing on substantially the same terms and conditions as such other purchasers. Immediately following the closing of the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock to Takeda in accordance with this Section 3.2 and the closing pursuant to the Series A Purchase Agreement, the Series A Preferred Stock acquired by Takeda hereunder will represent no less than [*] of Day One’s outstanding capital stock on a Fully-Diluted Basis, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Stock Issuance Agreement and the Series A Purchase Agreement.

3.3 Currency. All payments to Takeda hereunder will be made by deposit of USD in the requisite amount to such bank account as Takeda may from time to time designate by written notice to Day One.

10.7 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that, subject to Section 10.8, a Party may make such an assignment or transfer without the other Party’s consent (a) if the assigning Party is Takeda, to Takeda’s Affiliates or (b) to the successor upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, acquisition of stock or other change of control transaction (each of the foregoing, a “Change of Control Transaction”), or upon a sale of assets affecting substantially all of the assets of a Party (an “Asset Sale”). Except in connection with a Change of Control Transaction, Day One may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any Affiliate, without the prior written consent of Takeda, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any permitted successor or assignee of rights or obligations under this Agreement will expressly assume performance of such rights or obligations. Any permitted assignment will be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 10.7 will be null and void.

10.8 Performance by Affiliates. Each of Takeda and Day One acknowledge that a Party’s obligations under this Agreement may be performed by its Affiliates. Notwithstanding any delegation of obligations under this Agreement by a Party to its Affiliate, such Party will remain primarily liable and

 

42


responsible for the performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement and for causing its Affiliates to act in a manner consistent with this Agreement. Wherever in this Agreement a Party delegates responsibility to its Affiliates or local operating entities, the Parties agree that such entities will not make decisions inconsistent with this Agreement, amend the terms of this Agreement or act in breach of its terms.

10.9 Independent Contractors. It is understood and agreed that the relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors and that nothing in this Agreement will be construed as creating a partnership for tax purposes or as an authorization for either Party to act as the agent for the other Party.

10.10 Further Actions. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

10.11 Severability. Each provision in this Agreement is independent and severable from the others, and no provision will be rendered unenforceable because any other provision may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part. If the scope of any restrictive provision in this Agreement is too broad to permit enforcement to its full extent, then such restriction will be reformed to the maximum extent permitted by law.

10.12 Headings. The headings for each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section.

10.13 No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement, or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter, will not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

10.14 Interpretation. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular includes the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender applies to all genders. The word “or” has the inclusive meaning that is typically associated with the phrase “and/or”; the word “and” is used in the conjunctive sense. The term “including,” “include,” or “includes” means including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term. Unless the context requires otherwise, (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document will be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein or therein), (ii) any reference to any applicable laws will be construed as referring to such laws as from time to time enacted, repealed or amended, (iii) any reference to any person will be construed to include the person’s successors and permitted assigns, (iv) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, will be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (v) any reference to the words “mutually agree” or “mutual written agreement” will not impose any obligation on either Party to agree to any terms relating thereto or to engage in discussions relating to such terms except as such Party may determine in such Party’s sole discretion, (vi) all references to Sections, Exhibits or Schedules will be construed to refer to Sections, Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement, (vii) the word “days” means calendar days unless otherwise specified, and (viii) the words “copy” and “copies” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement include, to the extent available, electronic copies, files or databases containing the information, files, items, documents or materials to which such words apply.

In interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that no presumption will apply against the Party which drafted such terms and provisions.
