If Moderna desires to obtain one (1) additional Liver Option, then Moderna may elect to obtain such additional Liver Option by notifying GBIO of such election and paying GBIO the Additional Option Fee pursuant to Section 8.3.5 [**]. If Moderna desires to obtain one (1) additional Non-Liver Option, then Moderna may elect to obtain such additional Non-Liver Option by notifying GBIO of such election and paying GBIO the Additional Option Fee pursuant to Section 8.3.5 [**].

3.1.3Option Exercise.

(a)On a Liver Target-by-Liver Target basis, Moderna may exercise a Liver Option with respect to such Liver Target by, at any time during the Liver Option Exercise Period for such Liver Target, (i) providing GBIO with written notice of such exercise and (ii) paying GBIO a Liver Option Exercise Fee for such Liver Target in accordance with Section 8.3.6 (the date on which Moderna completes both (i) and (ii), a “Liver Option Exercise Date”). From and after such Liver Option Exercise Date (if any), such Liver Target shall be an Optioned Liver Target.

(b)On a Non-Liver Target-by-Non-Liver Target basis, Moderna may exercise a Non-Liver Option with respect to such Non-Liver Target by, at any time during the Non-Liver Option Exercise Period for such Non-Liver Target, (i) providing GBIO with written notice of such exercise and (ii) paying GBIO a Non-Liver Option Exercise Fee for such Non-Liver Target in accordance with Section 8.3.7 (the date on which Moderna completes both (i) and (ii), a “Non-Liver Option Exercise Date”). From and after such Non-Liver Option Exercise Date (if any), such Non-Liver Target shall be an Optioned Non-Liver Target.

(c)On an Independent Program Target-by-Independent Program Target basis, Moderna may exercise an Exclusive Target Option with respect to such Independent Program Target by, at any time during the Independent Program Target Option Exercise Period for such Independent Program Target, (i) providing GBIO with written notice of such exercise and (ii) if applicable, paying GBIO an Exclusive Target Option Exercise Fee for such Independent Program Target in accordance with Section 8.3.8 (the date on which Moderna completes both (i) and (ii), an “Exclusive Target Option Exercise Date”). From and after such Exclusive Target Option Exercise Date (if any), such Independent Program Target shall automatically be designated as an Exclusive Target.

3.1.4Expiration of Option.

(a)If Moderna does not exercise a Liver Option with respect to a given Liver Target during the applicable Liver Option Exercise Period, then, effective as of the expiration of such Liver Option Exercise Period, such Liver Target shall be deemed a Terminated Liver Target and Section 12.6 shall apply to such Terminated Liver Target. In addition, if, at any time, Moderna is unable to exercise a Liver Option with respect to any additional Liver Targets (i.e., because Moderna has already exercised a Liver Option with respect to three (3) Liver Targets or because Moderna has already exercised a Liver Option with respect to two (2) Liver Targets and has elected to obtain an additional Non-Liver Option pursuant to Section 3.1.2), then all Liver Targets that are not, at such time, Optioned Liver Targets, shall be deemed Terminated Liver Targets and Section 12.6 shall apply to such Terminated Liver Targets.

(b)If Moderna does not exercise a Non-Liver Option with respect to a given Non-Liver Target during the applicable Non-Liver Option Exercise Period, then, effective as of the expiration of such Non-Liver Option Exercise Period, such Non-Liver Target shall be deemed a Terminated Non-Liver Target and Section 12.6 shall apply to such Terminated Non-Liver Target. In addition, if, at any time, Moderna is unable to exercise a Non-Liver Option with respect to any additional Non-Liver Targets (i.e., because Moderna has already exercised a Non-Liver Option with respect to three (3) Non-Liver Targets or because Moderna has already exercised a Non-Liver Option with respect to two (2) Non-Liver Targets and has elected to obtain an additional Liver Option pursuant to Section 3.1.2), then all Non-Liver Targets that are not, at such time, Optioned Non-Liver Targets, shall be deemed Terminated Non-Liver Targets and Section 12.6 shall apply to such Terminated Non-Liver Targets.

(c)If Moderna does not exercise an Exclusive Target Option with respect to a given Independent Program Target during the applicable Independent Program Target Option Exercise Period, then, effective as of the expiration of such Independent Program Target Option Exercise Period, such Independent Program Target may not thereafter be an Exclusive Target.

3.2HSR/Antitrust Filings.

3.2.1Efforts. Each of GBIO and Moderna will use its commercially reasonable good faith efforts, to the extent applicable with respect to the transactions contemplated by any Option exercise under this Agreement, to obtain the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, and to obtain the termination or expiration of any other applicable waiting periods or any necessary approvals or consents under any other applicable Antitrust Law, at the earliest possible date of filing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 3.2 and the term “commercially reasonable good faith efforts” do not require that either Party (a) offer, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any capital stock, assets, rights, products or businesses of GBIO, Moderna, or any of their respective Affiliates, (b) agree to any restrictions on the businesses of GBIO, Moderna, or any of their respective Affiliates, (c) agree to any other structural or behavioral remedy, or (d) pay any amount or take any other action to prevent, effect the dissolution of, vacate, or lift any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order in any suit or proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the transactions contemplated by any Option exercise under this Agreement.

3.2.2HSR/Antitrust Filings. Concurrent with any notice by Moderna of its intent to exercise any Option, Moderna shall inform GBIO in writing whether Moderna has concluded that the fair market value of the licenses to be acquired pursuant to such Option exercise, determined in accordance with 16 C.F.R. § 801.10, crosses the applicable filing threshold of the HSR Act. Each of GBIO and Moderna will, within ten (10) Business Days after the notice of any intent to exercise any Option (or such later time as may be agreed to in writing by the Parties) file with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) any HSR/Antitrust Filing required of it under the HSR Act should the filing threshold be crossed and, as soon as practicable, file with the appropriate Governmental Authority any other HSR/Antitrust Filing required of it under any other Antitrust Law as determined in the reasonable opinion of either Party with respect to the transactions contemplated by such Option exercise. The Parties shall cooperate with one another to the extent necessary in the preparation of any such HSR/Antitrust Filing. The Parties shall equally share all fees (other than penalties that may be incurred as a result of actions or omissions on the part of a Party, which penalties shall be the sole financial responsibility of such Party), required to be paid to any Governmental Authority in connection with making any such HSR/Antitrust Filing. Each Party shall be responsible for all other costs, expenses, and filing fees incurred by such Party in connection with any HSR/Antitrust Filing. In the event that the Parties make an HSR/Antitrust Filing under this Section 3.2, the relevant Option exercise shall terminate (a) at the election of either Party, immediately upon notice to the other Party, in the event that the FTC, DOJ, or other Governmental Authority obtains a preliminary injunction or final order under Antitrust Law enjoining the transactions contemplated by such Option exercise, or (b) at the election of either Party, immediately upon notice to the other Party, in the event that the Antitrust Clearance Date shall not have occurred on or prior to one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date of the last HSR/Antitrust Filing submitted to a Governmental Authority in relation to such Option exercise (or such later time as may be agreed to in writing by the Parties). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except for the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2, none of the terms and conditions resulting from any Option exercise shall be effective until the later of (i) the date of such Option exercise, (ii) if a determination is made pursuant to this Section 3.2 that an HSR/Antitrust Filing is not required to be made under any Antitrust Law for such Option exercise, the date of such determination, or (iii) if a determination is made pursuant to this Section 3.2 that an HSR/Antitrust Filing is required to be made under any Antitrust Law for such Option exercise, the applicable Antitrust Clearance Date. As used herein: (x) “Antitrust Clearance Date” means the earliest date on which the Parties have actual knowledge that all applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and any comparable waiting periods, approvals or clearances, as applicable, as required under any other Antitrust Law, in each case, with respect to the transactions contemplated by the relevant Option exercise, have expired, have been terminated or have been obtained, as applicable; and (y) “HSR/Antitrust Filing” means (i) a filing by GBIO and Moderna with the FTC and the DOJ of a Notification and Report Form for Certain Mergers and Acquisitions, together with all required documentary attachments thereto or (ii) any comparable filing by GBIO or Moderna required under any other Antitrust Law, in each case ((i) and (ii)), with respect to the transactions contemplated by any applicable Option exercise.

3.2.3Information Exchange. Each of GBIO and Moderna will, in connection with any HSR/Antitrust Filing, (a) reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any communication, filing, or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party; (b) keep the other Party or its counsel informed of any substantive communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Authority and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding the transactions contemplated by any Option exercise; (c) consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ, or such other Governmental Authority or other Person, give the Parties or their counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; and (d) to the extent practicable, permit the other Party or its counsel to review in advance any submission, filing, or communication (and documents submitted therewith) intended to be given by it to the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Authority; except that such materials may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the business of GBIO or other sensitive information and any substantive oral or written communications to the FTC, the DOJ, or any other Governmental Authority shall be approved in advance by the Parties. GBIO and Moderna, as each deems advisable and necessary, may reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material to be provided to the other under this Section 3.2 as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (GBIO or Moderna, as the case may be) or its legal counsel.

3.2.4No Further Obligations. If any Option exercise is terminated pursuant to this Section 3.2, then, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) no Party shall have any further obligation to the other Party with respect to the subject matter of such Option exercise, (b) if such Option was a Liver Option, then it will be deemed as though Moderna had failed to exercise such Liver Option during the applicable Liver Option Exercise Period, (c) if such Option was a Non-Liver Option, then it will be deemed as though Moderna had failed to exercise such Non-Liver Option during the applicable Non-Liver Option Exercise Period, and (d) if such Option was an Exclusive Target Option, then it will be deemed as though Moderna had failed to exercise such Exclusive Target Option during the applicable Independent Program Target Option Exercise Period.

The Payee shall provide such information and documentation to the Payor as are reasonably requested by the Payor, including any applicable requested Form W-9 or W-8 (as provided in Section 8.10.4), to determine if any withholding Taxes apply to any payments to be made by the Payor under this Agreement and to establish qualification for a reduced withholding rate or an exemption from such Tax to be withheld under the applicable bilateral income tax treaty or relevant statutory provision. The Payor agrees to cooperate with the Payee in claiming refunds, reductions, or exemptions from such deductions or withholdings under any Applicable Law, relevant agreement or treaty that is in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Payor redomiciles or assigns its rights or obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 15.1 (each, a “Tax Action”), and, as a result of such Tax Action, the amount of Tax required to be withheld under this Section 8.10.2 in respect of a payment to the Payee is greater than the amount of such Tax that would have been required to have been withheld absent such Tax Action, then any such amount payable to the Payee shall be adjusted to take into account such withholding Taxes as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings or credits, the Payee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received, taking into account applicable tax rates imposed on such income and any tax credits available as a result of the withholding or credits, had no such Tax Action occurred (but in no case shall any payment under this Agreement be an amount less than the remittable payment due without regard to this Section 8.10.2). The obligation to adjust payments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not apply, however, to the extent such increased withholding of Tax (x) would not have been imposed but for a Tax Action taken by the Payee or (y) is attributable to the failure by the Payee to comply with the requirements of this Section 8.10.2. For purposes of this Section 8.10.2, a “redomiciliation” shall include a reincorporation or other action resulting in a change in tax residence of the applicable Party or its assignee.

8.10.3VAT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including anything to the contrary in this Section 8.10), this Section 8.10.3 shall apply with respect to value added tax or any similar tax (“VAT”). If, under Applicable Law, any VAT is required to be paid in respect of any supply of goods or services under this Agreement, the Party that is responsible under Applicable Law to account for VAT shall, as applicable, (a) issue an invoice for VAT at the applicable rate to the other Party and (b) if provided under applicable Law, pay directly to the relevant tax authorities.

8.10.4Forms. Each Party has provided a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 or applicable Form W-8 to the other Party. Each Party shall provide to the other Party, at the time or times reasonably requested by such other Party or as required by Applicable Law, such properly completed and duly executed documentation (for example, IRS Forms W-8 or W-9) as will permit payments made under this Agreement to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding for Taxes, and the applicable payment shall be made without (or at a reduced rate of) withholding to the extent permitted by such documentation, as reasonably determined by the paying Party.

8.11 Foreign Derived Intangible Income Deduction. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide, and to cause its Affiliates and applicable Third Parties to provide, any information and documentation reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain the benefits of Section 250 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the applicable Treasury Regulations, including information required to demonstrate the extent to which the Licensed Products will be sold, consumed, used, or manufactured outside the United States.

8.12Currency Exchange. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, all amounts specified in, and all payments made under, this Agreement shall be in United States Dollars. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the calculation of amounts payable under this Agreement, such conversion shall be performed in a manner consistent with the paying Party’s normal practices used to prepare its audited financial statements for internal and external reporting purposes.

8.13Late Payments. Any payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (a) the “prime rate” as reported by The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, plus [**] percent ([**]%), or (b) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law; in each case calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent, compounded monthly; except that, with respect to any disputed payments, no interest payment shall be due until such dispute is resolved and the interest which shall be payable thereon shall be based on the finally-resolved amount of such payment, calculated from the original date on which the disputed payment was due through the date on which payment is actually made.

8.14Blocked Payments. In the event that, by reason of Applicable Law in any country, it becomes impossible or illegal for a Party (or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, payments owed to the other Party hereunder, the paying Party will promptly notify the other Party of the conditions preventing such transfer and such payments will be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of such other Party in a recognized banking institution designated by such other Party or, if none is designated by such other Party within a period of [**], in a recognized banking institution selected by the paying Party or its applicable Affiliate or Sublicensee, as the case may be, and identified in a written notice given to the other Party.

8.15Prohibitions on Payments. When, in any country in the Territory, Applicable Law prohibits both the transmittal and the deposit of royalties on sales in such country, royalty payments due on Net Sales shall be suspended for as long as such prohibition is in effect and, as soon as such prohibition ceases to be in effect, all royalties that the paying Party would have been under an obligation to transmit or deposit but for the prohibition shall forthwith be deposited or transmitted, to the extent allowable. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to overcome, to the extent reasonably possible, any prohibition described in this Section 8.15 within a reasonable period of time.

With respect to an uncured material breach of this Agreement by GBIO, Moderna shall have the right, at its option and by written notice to GBIO, in lieu of exercising its right to terminate this Agreement or any other right that Moderna may have hereunder or at law, to instead continue this Agreement in accordance with its terms, in which case: (a) the Parties will coordinate wind-down of GBIO’s activities under this Agreement, and (b) from and after such time as Moderna delivers such written notice to GBIO, any and all amounts thereafter payable hereunder by Moderna for the Licensed Product that was the subject of GBIO’s material breach (including applicable milestone payments and royalties) shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%).

12.4.2Know-How Transfer. Within [**] following Moderna’s election not to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.4, the Parties shall cooperate with each other and put in place a reasonable Know-How transfer plan, and the Parties shall thereafter perform their respective obligations under such Know-How transfer plan, pursuant to which GBIO shall disclose or deliver to Moderna, to the extent not previously provided, copies of all specified relevant data and information in GBIO’s (or its Affiliates’) possession which is reasonably necessary for Moderna’s Development or Commercialization of the Licensed Products (including for regulatory purposes and to otherwise undertake activities that would otherwise have been performed by GBIO and regardless of the stage of any such activities). At Moderna’s reasonable request and expense, GBIO shall: (a) provide reasonable technical assistance to Moderna during such disclosure or delivery set forth in the preceding sentence; and (b) make its employees and non-employee consultants reasonably available at their respective places of employment to consult with Moderna on issues arising in the course of Moderna’s Development or Commercialization and in connection with any request related to any Licensed Product from any Regulatory Authority, including regulatory, scientific, technical and clinical testing issues.

12.5License Survival Upon Insolvency. All licenses (and to the extent applicable, rights) granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of 11 U.S.C. Section 101, et. seq. (“Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under the Paragraph 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar provision in the bankruptcy laws of another applicable jurisdiction). The Parties agree that the non-bankrupt Party that is a licensee of rights under this Agreement shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under Applicable Law, including the Bankruptcy Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, upon commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Code, the other Party shall be entitled to complete access to any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, if not already in such other Party’s possession. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.5 are without prejudice to any rights either Party may have arising under the Bankruptcy Code.

12.6Effect of Termination.

12.6.1General Effects. Subject to the remainder of this Section 12.6: (a) upon termination of this Agreement with respect to a given Research Program, Optioned Liver Target, Optioned Non-Liver Target, Exclusive Target, or Cell Target Type, all licenses and other rights granted hereunder with respect to such Research Program, Optioned Liver Target, Optioned Non-Liver Target, Exclusive Target, or Cell Target Type, as applicable, will immediately terminate and (b) upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety, all licenses and other rights granted hereunder will immediately terminate; provided that, in each case ((a) and (b)) such licenses will continue solely as necessary and only for so long as required for the Parties to complete the orderly wind-down of their activities under this Agreement in accordance with Applicable Law and as otherwise required in accordance with Section 12.6.4. In addition, if, by the time the last-to-expire Research Program has expired or been terminated, the Prepaid Research Funding has not been fully expended in accordance with this Agreement, GBIO shall promptly (but in any event within [**]) refund the remaining balance of the Prepaid Research Funding to Moderna, regardless of whether this Agreement has expired or been terminated by then.

12.6.2Termination With Respect to Terminated Targets.

(a)From and after such time a given Optioned Liver Target becomes a Terminated Liver Target, a given Optioned Non-Liver Target becomes a Terminated Non-Liver Target, or a given Exclusive Target becomes a Terminated Exclusive Target:

(i)such Optioned Liver Target, Optioned Non-Liver Target, or Exclusive Target shall no longer be an Optioned Liver Target, Optioned Non-Liver Target, or Exclusive Target under this Agreement;

(ii)this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Optioned Liver Target or the Optioned Non-Liver Target, and Section 2.9.2 shall terminate with respect to such Optioned Liver Target, Optioned Non-Liver Target, or Exclusive Target; and

(iii)except for any perpetual and irrevocable licenses granted hereunder, any licenses that may have become perpetual and irrevocable pursuant to this Agreement by such time, and any licenses granted to Moderna hereunder with respect to Independent Program Targets that are in effect as of such time, all licenses granted by GBIO to Moderna hereunder, and all sublicenses granted by Moderna thereunder, specifically with respect to such Terminated Liver Target, Terminated Non-Liver Target, or Terminated Exclusive Target will immediately terminate.

In the event such Optioned Liver Target becoming a Terminated Liver Target, such Optioned Non-Liver Target becoming a Terminated Non-Liver Target, or such Exclusive Target becoming a Terminated Exclusive Target is limited to one or more Terminated Countries, the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.6.2(a) shall apply to such Terminated Countries only.

(b)Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety, all Optioned Liver Targets, Optioned Non-Liver Targets, and Exclusive Targets shall thereafter be deemed Terminated Liver Targets, Terminated Non-Liver Targets, and Terminated Exclusive Targets, respectively, and shall no longer be Optioned Liver Targets, Optioned Non-Liver Targets, or Exclusive Targets under this Agreement, and Section 12.6.2(a) shall apply to such Terminated Liver Targets, Terminated Non-Liver Targets, and Terminated Exclusive Targets.

12.6.3Terminated Liver Targets and Terminated Non-Liver Targets. The following provisions shall apply with respect to any Licensed Product Directed to each Terminated Liver Target and each Terminated Non-Liver Target incorporating any ceDNA and actively being clinically Developed or Commercialized by Moderna as of the date of termination of this Agreement with respect to such Terminated Liver Target or Terminated Non-Liver Target (as applicable) (a “Reversion Product”):

(a)Upon GBIO’s written request delivered within [**] after termination of this Agreement with respect to such Terminated Liver Target or Terminated Non-Liver Target (as applicable), Moderna shall grant, and is hereby deemed to grant, subject to the terms of any applicable in-license agreement, to GBIO a non-exclusive license solely with respect to such Reversion Product, limited to Patent Rights and Know-How (i) Controlled by Moderna or its Affiliates as of the date of termination of this Agreement with respect to such Terminated Liver Target or Terminated Non-Liver Target (as applicable), (ii) specifically Covering the composition of the Reversion Product or its use as of the date of such termination, and (iii) actually used by Moderna or any of its Affiliates to Develop or Commercialize such Reversion Product prior to or as of the date of such termination, for the sole purpose of Developing, or Commercializing the Reversion Product in the Territory; except that GBIO shall only obtain a license under any such Patent Rights or Know-How that constitute Moderna Background Intellectual Property if GBIO requests such license, and, following any such request, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith milestones and royalty terms applicable to such Moderna Background Intellectual Property that fairly reflect Moderna’s contribution to the Development of such Reversion Product and the non-exclusive nature of such license. For clarity, such license shall not include the right to, or any Know-How used to, Manufacture such Reversion Product that was, as between the Parties, independently created by or on behalf of Moderna, including Know-How pertaining to and any and all non-ctLNP and non-ceDNA components of the Reversion Product. [**].

(b)At GBIO’s reasonable request and expense, Moderna shall provide GBIO with such assistance as is reasonably necessary to effectuate a smooth and orderly transition of any Development and Commercialization activities to GBIO or its designee with respect to any Reversion Product for which GBIO accepts a license under Section 12.6.3(a), so as to minimize the disruption of such activities.

(c)Within [**] after termination of this Agreement with respect to such Terminated Liver Target or Terminated Non-Liver Target (as applicable), Moderna shall provide to GBIO a fair and accurate summary report of the status of Development, Manufacture, and Commercialization activities conducted by Moderna with respect to the applicable Reversion Product.

(d)Moderna shall promptly transfer and assign to GBIO all of Moderna’s and its Affiliates’ rights, title, and interests in and to the trademarks (other than any Moderna house marks or composite marks including a house mark) owned by Moderna and solely used for the Reversion Product.

(e)Moderna shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, transfer and assign to GBIO all Regulatory Approvals and Regulatory Documentation with respect to the Reversion Product in the Territory and a copy of all of the data comprising the global safety database for such Reversion Product, but Moderna may retain such data and a single copy of such Regulatory Approvals and Regulatory Documentation for its records, and, if such Regulatory Approvals or Regulatory Documentation are necessary or useful for the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of any product other than such Reversion Product, in place of transferring or assigning the foregoing, Moderna shall instead grant GBIO a Right of Reference or Use with respect to such approvals or documentation with respect to such Reversion Product.

(f)GBIO shall have the option, exercisable within [**] following the effective date of such termination of this Agreement, to obtain Moderna’s inventory of the Reversion Product at a price equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of Moderna’s Manufacturing costs for such inventory of such Reversion Product; except that, if Moderna or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees has any outstanding order of any such Reversion Product, at GBIO’s election, either GBIO shall fulfill such order or, notwithstanding GBIO’s option to purchase inventory, Moderna may retain sufficient inventory to fulfill such orders. GBIO may exercise such option by written notice to Moderna during such [**] period. In the event GBIO exercises such right to purchase such inventory, Moderna shall grant, and hereby does grant, a royalty-free right and license to any trademarks, names, and logos of Moderna contained therein for a period of [**] solely to permit the orderly sale of such inventory, subject to GBIO meeting reasonable quality control standards imposed by Moderna on the use of such trademarks, names, and logos, which shall be consistent with the standards used by Moderna prior to such termination.

(g)If any Clinical Trial of any Reversion Product is being conducted at the time of the termination of this Agreement with respect to such Terminated Liver Target or Terminated Non-Liver Target (as applicable), each Party hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate in the completion of such Clinical Trial in consultation with the appropriate Regulatory Authorities and any applicable institutional review board(s).

12.6.4Wind-Down. Upon any termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to wind down any then-ongoing activities under the Research Programs. Within [**] after receipt of an invoice therefor, Moderna shall pay Research Costs that were incurred, accrued, or committed (and are not cancellable) by GBIO prior to the effective date of termination of this Agreement and have not yet been paid by Moderna in accordance with Section 8.4.

12.6.5Destruction of Materials. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety, (a) Section 9.6 shall apply and (b) each receiving Party shall destroy all Materials of the providing Party and confirm in writing such destruction.

12.6.6Conduct During Termination Notice Period. Following any notice of termination permitted under this ARTICLE 12, during any applicable termination notice period, each Party shall continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement then in effect in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

12.6.7Sublicense Survival. Any permitted sublicense granted by Moderna or its Affiliate to a Third Party under the licenses granted to Moderna under this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement; provided that, so long as (a) the applicable Sublicensee is not in breach of any of its obligations under the applicable sublicense agreement and has not otherwise caused the termination of this Agreement and (b) GBIO has been paid all amounts owed to GBIO under this Agreement that are within the scope of such Sublicensee’s sublicense, such Sublicensee may request that GBIO grant to such Sublicensee a direct license equivalent to the license which Moderna or its Affiliate granted to such Sublicensee in the applicable sublicense agreement (but GBIO shall not be required to agree to any obligations to such Sublicensee that are not expressly set forth in this Agreement). GBIO shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any such request.

12.7Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement will not affect any obligations, including payment of any royalties or other sums, that have accrued as of the date of termination or expiration, and termination of this Agreement by a Party will be without prejudice to other remedies such Party may have at law or equity. In addition, the following provisions will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement (including any other Sections, Articles, or defined terms necessary to give such provisions effect): Sections 2.6.1, 2.7.1 (with respect to all restrictions imposed therein), 2.8, 5.1.1(e), 5.1.2(c), 5.5, 8.6.5, 8.8 through 8.15, 10.1.1, 10.1.3 through 10.1.6, 10.1.8, 10.2.1, 10.2.5, 10.3.2, 10.3.5, 10.3.7, 11.6, 12.5 through 12.7, and 18.1 through 18.9, and ARTICLES 9, 13 and 16.

ARTICLE 13 - INDEMNITY; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

13.1Indemnity.

13.1.1By GBIO. GBIO shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Moderna, its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, (each, a “Liability”) resulting from all Third Party claims, suits, actions, terminations, or demands (each, a “Claim”) to the extent such Claims relate to or arise out of (a) any breach of this Agreement by GBIO, (b) any negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of GBIO in connection with the performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights hereunder, (c) any violation of Applicable Law by GBIO in connection with the performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights hereunder, or (d) the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of any Licensed Product by or on behalf of GBIO or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, including any failure to test for or provide adequate warnings of adverse side effects, or any manufacturing defect in any Licensed Product, except, in each case ((a)-(d)), to the extent such Liabilities resulted from any action for which Moderna is obligated to indemnify GBIO under Section 13.1.2.

13.1.2By Moderna. Moderna shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GBIO, its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against all Liabilities resulting from all Claims to the extent such Claims relate to or arise out of (a) [**], (b) [**], (c) [**], (d) [**], or (e) [**], except, in each case ((a)-(e)), to the extent such Liabilities resulted from any action for which GBIO is obligated to indemnify Moderna under Section 13.1.1.

13.2Procedure.

13.2.1General. Promptly after the receipt by a Person seeking indemnification under this ARTICLE 13 (the “Indemnitee”) of notice of any pending or threatened Claim for which the Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification under this ARTICLE 13, such Indemnitee shall promptly provide notice thereof to the other Party (the “Indemnitor”), which notice shall include a reasonable identification of the alleged facts giving rise to such Claim. Any failure by an Indemnitee to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement, except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice. The Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Indemnitor so desires, to control the defense and settlement thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in, but not control, the defense of any Claim, and request separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitee, unless (a) representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other Party represented by such counsel in such proceedings or (b) the Indemnitor has failed to assume the defense of the applicable Claim, in which case ((a) or (b)), such fees and expenses shall be paid by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns, as applicable, to, cooperate in the defense of any indemnified Claim and shall furnish such records, information, and testimony, provide such witnesses, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals, and otherwise providing reasonable access to such indemnitees and other employees and agents of the Indemnitee, in each case as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. The Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnitee for its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. The Indemnitor may not settle any Claim, and the Indemnitee shall not be responsible for or be bound by any settlement of a Claim that imposes an obligation on it, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), unless such settlement or compromise (i) fully releases the Indemnitee without any liability, loss, cost, or obligation, (ii) admits no liability, wrongdoing, or other admission against interest on the part of the Indemnitee, and (iii) would not have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s interests (including any rights under this Agreement or the scope or enforceability of the intellectual property licensed hereunder).

13.2.2No Acknowledgement. The assumption of the defense of a Claim by the Indemnitor shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnitor is liable to indemnify the Indemnitee in respect of the Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnitor of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification.

13.3Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT (A) IN THE EVENT OF THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD OF A PARTY, (B) WITH RESPECT TO A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 9, AND (C) TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY PROVIDES INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 13, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF EITHER PARTY’S AFFILIATES OR (SUB)LICENSEES SHALL BE LIABLE IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY, OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR FOR LOST PROFITS SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER LOSS OR INJURY TO A PARTY’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ PROFITS, REVENUES, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, IN EACH CASE, REGARDLESS OF ANY PRIOR NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES.

ARTICLE 14 - FORCE MAJEURE

Neither Party (nor any of such Party’s Affiliates) shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party (or any of such other Party’s Affiliates) hereunder, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for failure or delay by such Party in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party (or any of its Affiliates), including fire, floods, epidemics or pandemics, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, acts of God, earthquakes, or omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental Authority (each, an “Event of Force Majeure”), but the affected Party shall exert Commercially Reasonable Efforts to eliminate, cure, or overcome any such Event of Force Majeure and to resume performance of its obligations promptly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an Event of Force Majeure continues for a period in excess of [**], the affected Party will promptly notify in writing the other Party of such Event of Force Majeure and within [**] of the other Party’s receipt of such notice, the Parties will negotiate in good faith a resolution of the Event of Force Majeure, if possible, which resolution may include (a) an extension by mutual agreement of the time period to resolve, eliminate, cure or overcome such Event of Force Majeure, (b) an amendment of this Agreement to the extent reasonably possible, or (c) an early termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 15 - ASSIGNMENT; CHANGE OF CONTROL

15.1Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor, except as expressly provided hereunder, may any right or obligations hereunder be assigned or transferred by either Party, without the consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; except that either Party may, without such consent but with notification to the other Party following such assignment and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 15.1, assign this Agreement in its entirety (a) to any of its Affiliates (for so long as the assignee remains an Affiliate of the assigning Party) or (b) to a Third Party that acquires all or substantially all of such Party’s business to which this Agreement relates (whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale, or otherwise). Any such assignment shall not be valid and effective unless and until the assignee agrees in writing to assume all rights and obligations of its assignor under this Agreement and be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to the assignor. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, GBIO may assign its right to receive payments under this Agreement as part of a royalty factoring transaction undertaken for bona fide financing purposes. The terms and conditions of this Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement not in accordance with this Section 15.1 shall be void and of no effect.

15.2Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Party undergoes a Change of Control, then any technology or intellectual property rights owned, licensed, or otherwise controlled by the Acquirer or any applicable New Affiliates shall not be included in the technology and intellectual property rights licensed to the other Party hereunder (i) to the extent held by such Acquirer or the New Affiliates prior to such transaction, or (ii) to the extent such technology or intellectual property rights are developed or acquired by such Acquirer or any applicable New Affiliates outside the scope of activities conducted hereunder and without use of or reference to any technology or intellectual property rights of the Party subject to the Change of Control (or any Affiliate of such Party immediately before such Change of Control or any Person that such Party or any such Affiliate controls (directly or indirectly) after the Change of Control) or the other Party or any of such other Party’s Affiliates, in each case of (i)-(ii), in the event such Party is GBIO, except pursuant to any In-License Agreement between GBIO and such Acquirer or any New Affiliate.

ARTICLE 16 - SEVERABILITY

Each Party hereby agrees that this Agreement is not intended to violate any public policy, statutory or common laws, rules, regulations, treaty, or decision of any Governmental Authority of any country or community or association of countries. Should one or more provisions of this Agreement be or become invalid or unenforceable under Applicable Law, the Parties hereto shall substitute, by mutual consent, valid and enforceable provisions for such invalid or unenforceable provisions that, in their effect, are sufficiently similar to the invalid or unenforceable provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have entered into this Agreement based on such valid provisions. In case such alternative provisions cannot be agreed upon, suitable and equitable provisions will be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provisions. In any case, the invalidity or unenforceability of one or several provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement as a whole or the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances, nor will such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

ARTICLE 17 - INSURANCE

Each Party will maintain, at its sole cost, reasonable insurance against liability and other risks associated with its activities contemplated by this Agreement, consistent with the normal and customary practices of companies of similar size, nature, and scope. Upon written request, each Party will provide evidence of such insurance in the form of a certificate of insurance. Each Party shall provide the other with [**] advance written notice in the event of any cancellation of such insurance.

ARTICLE 18 - MISCELLANEOUS

18.1Notices. Any consent, notice, or report required or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement by one of the Parties to the other shall be in writing, delivered personally (with tracking capabilities), certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), or courier (with tracking capabilities), addressed to such other Party at its address indicated below, or to such other address as the addressee shall have last furnished in writing to the other Party in accordance with this Section 18.1.

18.2Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof that may dictate application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any disputes regarding validity, enforceability, interpretation, and construction of any Patent Rights will be governed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Patent Rights were filed or granted, as the case may be, by a court or patent office of competent jurisdiction in the relevant country or region in which such Patent Rights were issued or, if not issued, in which the underlying patent applications were filed.

18.3Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree that, if any dispute or disagreement arises between Moderna and GBIO in respect of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), then, subject to Section 18.9, they shall follow the following procedures in an attempt to resolve the dispute or disagreement. The term “Dispute” excludes any matter that is subject to Moderna’s final decision-making authority under Section 4.5.

18.3.1Referral to Executive Officers. Either Party may refer any Dispute to the Executive Officers. The Executive Officers shall discuss any such matter referred to them in good faith and attempt to find a mutually satisfactory resolution to the issue. If the Executive Officers do not reach consensus regarding, or do not resolve, such a matter within [**] after the date on which the matter is referred to the Executive Officers (unless a longer period is agreed to by the Parties), then the matter may be referred to dispute resolution in accordance with Section 18.3.2 below.

18.3.2Dispute Resolution.

(a)Subject to Section 18.3.2(c), all Disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement that are not resolved in accordance with Section 18.3.1 shall be finally settled under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”) by three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with said Rules, each of whom must be familiar with the biotechnology industry. If the Disputes involve scientific, technical or commercial matters, the arbitrators may engage experts that have educational training or industry experience sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of relevant scientific, technical or industry knowledge, as necessary to help resolve the Dispute. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts. The arbitrators shall award to the prevailing Party, if any, as determined by the arbitrators, its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Judgment on an award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by Applicable Law or judicial decision.

(b)With respect to any Dispute referred to arbitration that arises from a failure of the JPC to reach Unanimous Agreement on any matter described in Section 4.4.4(b) or the failure by the Parties to agree on the allocation of any Third Party Patent Rights or Know-How pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 1.1.48, the arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 18.3.2(b); provided, however, the Parties may agree to, or the arbitrators may set, accelerated timelines for the process set forth in this Section 18.3.2(b) in view of any deadlines set forth by a Governmental Authority (such as a patent office) or under Applicable Law pertaining to such Dispute. Within [**] after appointment of the arbitrators, each Party shall provide to the other Party and the arbitrators a written summary of such Party’s proposal, together with a brief or other written memorandum supporting the merits of such Party’s proposal, and a copy of the relevant provisions of this Agreement. Within [**] after exchanging each Party’s initial proposal, each Party may submit to the arbitrators (with a copy to the other Party) a rebuttal to the other Party’s support memorandum and shall at such time have the opportunity to amend its initial proposal based on any new information contained in the other Party’s support memorandum. Within [**] after such rebuttal period, the arbitrators shall promptly convene a hearing that will last no longer than [**] on a single Business Day mutually determined by the Parties. Neither Party may call any witnesses in support of its arguments. The arbitrators shall, within [**] after such hearing, select one Party’s proposal such arbitrators believe is the most consistent with the intent of the Parties when this Agreement was entered into, and notify the Parties of such selection in writing; provided, however, the arbitrators may not alter the terms of this Agreement or a Party’s proposal (as may be amended during the rebuttal period). The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Parties.

(c)Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, a dispute between the Parties relating to the validity, enforceability, ownership, or inventorship of any Patent Right shall not be subject to arbitration, but shall instead be submitted to a court or patent office (as applicable) of competent jurisdiction in the relevant country or jurisdiction in which such Patent Right was issued or, if not issued, in which the underlying patent application was filed.

100

18.3.3Disputed Payments. In the event of a dispute regarding any payments owing under this Agreement, all undisputed amounts shall be paid promptly when due and the balance, if any, promptly after resolution of the dispute (but in no event longer than [**] thereafter).

18.3.4Waiver. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY.

18.4Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the specific subject matter hereof. All express or implied agreements and understandings, either oral or written, heretofore made (including the Confidentiality Agreement) are expressly superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, or any term hereof modified, only by a written instrument duly executed by both Parties and specifically referencing this Agreement.

18.5Independent Contractors. GBIO and Moderna each acknowledge that they are independent contractors and that the relationship between the Parties does not constitute a partnership, joint venture, agency, or any type of fiduciary relationship. Neither GBIO nor Moderna has the authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, that is binding on the other Party, without the prior consent of the other Party to do so. Neither Party nor its Affiliates will be deemed to be acting “on behalf of” the other Party under this Agreement, except to the extent expressly otherwise provided.

18.6Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available, except as expressly set forth herein.

18.7Further Assurances. Each Party shall execute such additional documents as are necessary to effect the purposes of this Agreement.
