Royalties shown by each royalty report to have accrued during the Calendar Quarter are due and payable to RespiVert on the thirtieth (30th) day following the end of such Calendar Quarter.

The minimum amounts of insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of Pulmatrix liability with respect to its indemnification under this Agreement, provided that Pulmatrix’s liability will be limited in all respects under this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.4. Pulmatrix shall provide RespiVert with written evidence of such insurance upon request and shall provide RespiVert with thirty (30) days prior written notice in the event of cancellation. Pulmatrix shall maintain such commercial general liability insurance including product liability insurance during the period of commercialization and for a period of not less than five years thereafter.
8.4 Limitations on Liability.

Re
June XX, 2017
Pulmatrix Licenses Novel Drug Candidates from RespiVert Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Xxxxxxx Biotech, Inc.
The novel compounds target an enzyme involved in both inflammation and cancer, and may offer a new
approach for treating respiratory diseases
LEXINGTON, MA — Pulmatrix, Inc. (NASDAQ: PULM), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative inhaled therapies to address serious pulmonary diseases, today announced that it has entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement with RespiVert Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Xxxxxxx Biotech, Inc. Through the agreement, Xxxxxxxxx gains access to a portfolio of novel drug candidates in a class called kinase inhibitors that the company plans to develop.
Kinase inhibitors are chemical entities that block so-called kinase enzymes, which are involved in inflammation or cancer.
“We believe these innovative compounds licensed from RespiVert Ltd. will offer a new approach for treating lung inflammation in diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF),” said Xxxxxxxxx CEO Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, PhD. “They are also perfectly suited for formulation with our iSPERSE technology.”
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx X Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx Professor of Medicine and the Head of Respiratory Medicine at Imperial College, London, stated “Kinase inhibitors could be a very promising step forward for treating COPD and severe asthma. Coupled with the innovative iSPERSE technology to facilitate delivery to the site of disease within the lung, Pulmatrix is poised to improve the available therapeutic landscape for these patients in need.”
The key advance in the iSPERSE approach is a dry powder that “flies” easily into the lungs and can work with virtually any drug class ranging from small molecules to biologics. Drugs attached to the particles are thus delivered to the lungs with very high efficiency including small molecules like the Respivert kinase inhibitors.
Pulmatrix is already developing inhaled drugs for COPD and fungal infections. “These new compounds will significantly expand what we believe is already an impressive pipeline of drug candidates,” said Xxxxxx. “Because these compounds have already been explored in a Phase I program, we envision that we will be able to quickly move to clinical proof-of-concept studies.”
Under the terms of the agreement, which covers both respiratory and oncology uses of the drug candidates, Pulmatrix will assume all development and commercialization activities worldwide.
