Once a Committee ceases to exist or to have authority with respect to a given Licensed Product, any requirement of Sutro to provide information or other materials to such Committee shall be deemed a requirement to provide such information or other materials to Astellas and Astellas shall have the right to solely decide all matters that are subject to the review or approval by such Committee hereunder.

Article 4
RESEARCH

4.1 Programs; Program Targets.

(a) Collaboration; Program Targets.

(i) The Parties intend to collaborate on research with respect to three (3) Program Targets with the goal of identifying iADCs Directed To such Program Target for further Development and Commercialization as Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products as set forth herein. Subject to this Section 4.1, Astellas shall have the right to nominate Targets as Program Targets until three (3) Targets have been designated as Program Targets. The first Program Target has been mutually agreed upon by the Parties as of the Effective Date and is listed on Schedule 1.186. Subject to the remainder of this Section 4.1(a) and Section 4.1(d), Astellas has the right to nominate the second Program Target on or before the date that is [*]the Effective Date (“Second Program Target Nomination Period”), and the third Program Target on or before the date that [*]the Effective Date (“Third Program Target Nomination Period”).

(ii) If Astellas desires to nominate a Target as a Program Target, it shall provide written notice thereof to the Gatekeeper. Within [*] after receipt of Astellas’s nomination of such a Target as a Program Target, the Gatekeeper will notify Astellas and Sutro in writing if

Confidential

such nominated Target is Available or Unavailable, provided that if such nominated Target is Unavailable then the Gatekeeper shall not notify Sutro of the identity of such Target. Within [*]after receipt of the identity of such Target, Sutro shall provide Astellas with written notice either (A) [*] or (B) [*]. If foregoing clause (B) applies, Sutro shall promptly respond to any reasonable questions Astellas may have with respect to such notice. If such a Target nominated by Astellas as a Program Target is Available and either foregoing clause (A) applies or Astellas, in its sole discretion, provides written notice that it wishes to proceed with such Target despite foregoing clause (B) applying, then such Target shall be designated a Program Target as of the date of the Gatekeeper’s notice (or Astellas’s written notice if foregoing clause (B) applies) and Schedule 1.186 shall be deemed automatically amended to include such Target as a Program Target. If a Target nominated by Astellas is Unavailable or foregoing clause (B) applies and Astellas does not provide written notice that it wishes to proceed with such Target, then such Target shall not be designated a Program Target and Astellas shall have the right to nominate another Target as a Program Target.

(iii) The JSC may extend the Second Program Target Nomination Period or Third Program Target Nomination Period for [*]; provided that if the un-extended Second Program Target Nomination Period or Third Program Target Nomination Period has expired prior to nomination and identification of a second or third Program Target, respectively, as a result of one or more Targets being Unavailable, such Second Program Target Nomination Period or Third Program Target Nomination Period shall automatically be extended for [*].

(b) Gatekeeper. No later than [*] following the Effective Date, Sutro will engage an independent Third Party gatekeeper mutually agreed to by the Parties (the “Gatekeeper”), who will maintain the list of Unavailable Targets. The Parties shall cause the Gatekeeper to, prior to receiving any information from either Party in connection with this Agreement, enter into an agreement containing confidentiality and non-use obligations mutually acceptable to the Parties. Promptly after executing such confidentiality agreement, Sutro will provide the Gatekeeper with a list of Unavailable Targets. Sutro will promptly (and in any event, within [*]) notify the Gatekeeper of any changes in the list of Unavailable Targets until all Program Targets have been successfully nominated. All costs in connection with the Gatekeeper will be borne by Sutro.

(c) Target Becomes Available. If Astellas nominated a Target that the Gatekeeper indicated was Unavailable and such Target has become Available, then, for so long as Astellas retains the right to include a second or third Program Target under this Agreement, the Gatekeeper shall provide written notice to Astellas [*]of becoming aware that such Target has become Available and Astellas shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to designate such Target as the second or third Program Target, as applicable.

(d) Limitation on Unavailable Targets. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on [*] thereof, Sutro shall [*] (i) specifically identifies the included Oncology Targets or has a mechanism for specifically identifying the specific Oncology Targets at a later date and (ii) requires that the Third Party use commercially reasonable efforts to [*]such Oncology Target; provided, that if Sutro enters into an agreement with a Third Party that grants rights [*], such Oncology Targets will only become Unavailable upon being selected and specified pursuant to such agreement.

Confidential

(e) Antitrust Events.

Such supply shall be GMP; provided that, at Astellas request, such supply may be GLP that is Manufactured and tested with controls adequate for use for IND-Enabling Toxicology Studies. Beginning [*]after the Effective Date, the Parties shall commence good faith negotiations of a written agreement on commercially reasonable terms setting forth additional terms and conditions of such supply (the “Clinical Supply Agreement”) and shall enter into the Clinical Supply Agreement [*]. At Astellas’s request, at the same time, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a quality agreement in connection with such supply. Such Clinical Supply Agreement shall provide for separate statements of work for each Licensed Product, which shall be entered into sufficiently before Astellas needs supply of such Licensed Product.

(b) If Sutro is unable to supply Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products to Astellas as required under the Clinical Supply Agreement (or prior to the execution thereof, as required by Astellas pursuant to Section 7.2(a)) (a “Clinical Supply Shortage”), then, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, for so long as such Clinical Supply Shortage endures, Sutro shall allocate its available Components, CFE, CFE Reagents and other raw materials used in the Manufacture of such Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products between (i) the Manufacture of such Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products for Astellas on the one hand, and (ii) other uses by Sutro and its Affiliates, on the other hand, in the same proportion as is anticipated to be used based on the first [*]of the applicable forecast most recently submitted by Astellas to Sutro. By way of example, if the Clinical Supply Shortage is due to a shortage of specific Components used in a Licensed Compound, and such Components were to be allocated at a ratio of [*]during such Clinical Supply Shortage.

(c) If, in Astellas’s reasonable judgment, Astellas concludes that [*], Astellas shall be free to Manufacture or have Manufactured such Licensed Products and, in such case, Sutro shall effect the technology transfer in Section 7.4 to Astellas or its designated manufacturer(s) in order to permit Astellas, its Affiliates or Astellas CMO(s) to Manufacture Astellas’s requirements of such Licensed Products (from the CFE and CFE Reagents to be supplied by Sutro). For clarity, each Licensed Product may receive a separate technology transfer under this Section 7.2(c). Astellas [*].

“Manufacturing Technology”), (iv)[*]. If the Parties have a dispute as to whether Sutro has failed to address and correct such issues, then the Parties shall engage an independent Third Party with sufficient quality expertise or regulatory expertise, as applicable, that shall make such determination [*]. For the avoidance of doubt, such independent Third Party determination shall not [*]. On a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, at such time as determined by the JSC or upon Astellas’s earlier request, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a manufacturing technology transfer agreement [*] (each a “Manufacturing Technology Transfer Agreement”). For clarity, the Manufacturing Technology is included in the rights licensed to Astellas in Section 2.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Manufacturing Technology Transfer shall not include any right to access, receive or use any CFE Technology other than the CFE and CFE Reagent supplied by Sutro and as otherwise provided in Section 7.5.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, at Astellas request with respect to each Licensed Product, Sutro shall provide to Astellas (within [*]after such request) a facility fit documentation package sufficient for Astellas to determine whether it desires to Manufacture or to have an Affiliate or CMO Manufacture such Licensed Product.

7.5 CFE Supply.

(a) Without limiting Section 7.5(e), Sutro shall [*]Manufacture (itself or though one or more CMOs) and supply all quantities of CFE and CFE Reagents meeting the applicable specifications as Astellas, its Affiliates, Sublicensees and Astellas CMO(s) may require for the Manufacture of Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products for Development and Commercialization, at [*]. In connection with each Manufacturing Technology Transfer, Sutro shall (i) provide details of the specifications the CFE is required to meet, including details of how such specifications are determined, (ii) provide the information required to determine quality assurance acceptance testing, and (iii) provide such other technical assistance and support necessary or reasonably useful for Astellas, its Affiliates or Astellas CMO(s) to use the CFE and CFE Reagents for the Manufacture of the Licensed Product. In connection with [*], the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into an agreement on commercially reasonable terms setting forth additional terms for such supply and the details of additional support Sutro shall supply in connection with Astellas’s Manufacturing of Licensed Products, (the “CFE Supply Agreement”). At Astellas’s request, at the same time, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a quality agreement in connection with such supply. Such CFE Supply Agreement shall provide for separate statements of work for each Licensed Product, which shall be entered into at the time of the negotiation of the Manufacturing Technology Transfer Agreement for such Licensed Product as set forth in Section 7.4.

(b) The CFE Supply Agreement will contemplate appropriate mechanisms for ensuring continued supply of CFE and CFE Reagents to Astellas, its Affiliates and Sublicensees, including by maintaining safety stock. If Sutro fails to supply any CFE or CFE Reagents ordered by Astellas or [*], the JSC will discuss and agree upon a plan for correcting such actual or anticipated failure. Upon mutual agreement on such plan, Sutro shall implement such plan to the extent feasible, and if not feasible, Sutro will discuss in good faith with Astellas and agree upon alternative options for correcting such failure.

(c) In addition, (i) if Sutro [*] (A) [*], or (B) [*], (ii) [*], (iii) [*], (iv[*], or (v) if Sutro [*], (each of (i) through (v), a “Supply Failure”), then upon Astellas’s written request made within [*]of a Supply Failure, Sutro will transfer to [*]one or more CMOs engaged by Astellas or its Affiliates, the CFE Know-How necessary to Manufacture the CFE and CFE Reagents independently of Sutro and its Affiliates (the “CFE Technology Transfer”), which Manufacture of CFE and CFE Reagents shall be to support ongoing supply to Astellas, its Affiliates and Sublicensees for use in Manufacturing Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products. The CFE Technology Transfer shall be conducted [*]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any CFE Technology Transfer to a CMO, such CMO must agree to commercially reasonable safeguards to maintain the confidentiality of such CFE Know-How under an agreement between Sutro and such CMO, taking into account the trade secret status of the CFE Know-How.

(d) If Astellas determines that a second or additional source for the supply of CFE needs to be established by Sutro which is separate and in addition to Sutro’s existing source(s), then, upon Astellas’s written request at any time after Astellas has committed to conducting a [*] for any Licensed Product, Sutro shall conduct a CFE Technology Transfer to a CMO selected by Astellas and reasonably acceptable to Sutro ([*]), which may, at Astellas’s option, be solely dedicated to Astellas. Sutro shall [*]; provided in the event that (i) [*] or (ii) [*], Astellas [*], provided that in each case (A) [*], and (B) [*].

By way of example, [*].

7.6 Audit Rights and Corrective Actions. Unless otherwise approved by Astellas, all GMP Licensed Compound supplied by Sutro shall be Manufactured at the GMP Facility, which Sutro has identified as being GMP compliant and all CFE and CFE Reagents shall be Manufactured at the CFE Facility. Sutro shall ensure that Astellas has the right, at Astellas request during the Term, to audit the GMP Facility, the CFE Facility, and the facilities of all contract manufacturers of Sutro involved in performing GMP activities related to the supply of Licensed Products to Astellas. If Astellas becomes aware of any issues with such GMP Facility, CFE Facility or contract manufacturers, it may provide a report to Sutro identifying such issues. Within [*]after receipt of such a report from Astellas, Sutro shall deliver to Astellas for review and approval of a corrective action plan for addressing such issues. Sutro shall revise such plan as reasonably requested by Astellas. Upon approval of the corrective action plan by Astellas, approval not to be unreasonably withheld, Sutro shall implement such corrective action plan and address and correct such issues prior to Manufacture of GMP Licensed Product, CFE or CFE Reagents, as applicable, for Astellas. Subsequent audits shall be addressed in the manner specified in the Clinical Supply Agreement, CFE Supply Agreement or associated quality agreements. As part of Astellas’s audit of any of Sutro’s facility, Astellas may, among other things, conduct a general quality management systems assessment and audit Sutro’s supplier qualification procedures, risk assessments, audit reports or supplier questionnaires and associated corrective

8.6 Sharing of Costs and Revenues for Cost Share Products.

(a) Generally.

(i) With respect to each Cost Sharing, notwithstanding the financial definitions herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that no single item of cost or expense, and no revenue, shall be included or deducted more than one time in the calculation of Development Costs, Commercialization Costs, Other Expenses, or Cost Share Product Net Sales, if inclusion therein would result in a duplication or double-counting of the same cost or expense or the same revenue.

(ii) Within [*]after the first Option Effective Date, each Party shall designate by written notice to the other Party one or more financial managers with responsibility for coordinating the Cost Sharing (the “Financial Managers”). Each Party may replace its Financial Managers at any time upon written notice to the other Party.

(b) Calculation and Payment of Shared Costs and Revenues. During the Term, for each Cost Share Product following Option Effective Date therefor, the following shall apply:

(i) Within [*]after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, each Party shall provide to the other Party and the Financial Managers, as applicable, a consolidated report (each, a “Cost Report”) containing (A) [*] and (B) [*]. To the extent that any such Development Costs, Other Expenses or Commercialization Costs reported pursuant to this Section 8.6(b)(i) were estimated, the relevant Party shall provide actual cost information with the next Fiscal Quarter’s quarterly Cost Report, as applicable, and the provisions of Section 8.6(b)(iii) shall apply to properly allocate between the Parties any amount by which such actual costs exceeded or were less than the estimated costs. For clarity, Development Costs, Other Expenses and Commercialization Costs for each Fiscal Quarter may include accruals/estimates, and those accruals/estimates will be trued up to actual costs each Fiscal Quarter as part of the cost reporting for the following Fiscal Quarter.

(ii) Within [*]after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, Astellas shall provide to Sutro and the Financial Managers, in a format to be mutually agreed by the Financial Managers, a detailed statement of its (and each of its Affiliate’s) Cost Share Product Revenues with respect to the applicable Cost Share Product in the United States (including the calculation thereof, including a breakdown of Cost Share Product Revenues (and the calculation thereof)), as well as details of any adjustments to be made to the amounts submitted in the previous Fiscal Quarter (each, a “Revenue Report”). The Revenue Report shall be in a format to be agreed upon by the Financial Managers.

(iii) Within [*]after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, the Financial Managers shall provide to Astellas, Sutro and the JSC a written report (each, a “Reconciliation Report”) setting forth, in a format to be mutually agreed by the Financial Managers (A) [*], (B) [*], and (C) [*]. Within [*]after receipt of each Reconciliation Report (during which period the

Confidential

Parties may review such report and shall notify each other if any issues are identified), the Party who will receive payment shall issue to the other Party an invoice for the agreed amount of net payment. Within [*]after receipt of such invoice, the Party receiving such invoice shall make payment for any such net payment due to the other Party from such Party in accordance with this Article 8; provided that if a Party disputes an amount provided in such Reconciliation Report, then such disputed amount shall be reviewed by the JSC (provided, however, that in the event that the JSC is unable to resolve the issue, then notwithstanding Section 3.4, either Party shall have the right to have an independent auditor examine the applicable records in order to resolve such issue pursuant to Section 8.8, which determination shall be binding on the Parties absent manifest error), and any net payment owed with respect to the undisputed amounts shall be paid within such [*]period (and the disputed amount, if determined to be owed, shall be paid within [*]of resolution of the dispute).

(iv) All costs and expenses and revenues pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be recorded and reported consistent with Accounting Principles, consistently applied, and shall be reported in Dollars (with currency conversions as set forth in Section 8.7(d)).

(v) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Manufacturing Costs and FTE Rate(s) used in determining any Development Costs or Commercialization Costs represent fair market value for the provision of the applicable services for which such amounts are paid and represent arms’-length negotiated amounts. The FTE Rate(s) used in determining any Development Costs or Commercialization Costs shall be reviewed annually by the Parties and may be adjusted by mutual written agreement of the Parties to the extent the Parties mutually determine that an adjustment is necessary to comply with the arm’s-length standard under Applicable Law.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (A) when calculating the Parties’ Commercialization Costs, Development Costs and Other Expenses, any amount of, or in respect of, recoverable VAT incurred by each Party (or its Affiliates) in respect of any item of expenditure or cost that forms a component of such calculations shall be excluded and (B) when calculating Cost Share Product Net Sales, any amount of, or in respect of, VAT in respect of any item of revenue that forms a component of such calculations shall be excluded.

(vii) Each Party shall consider in good faith other reasonable procedures proposed by the other Party for sharing applicable financial information hereunder in order to permit each Party to close its books periodically in a timely manner.

8.7 Payment Terms.

(a) Development Milestone Payments. Astellas shall provide Sutro with written notice of the achievement of each Development Milestone Event by Astellas, its Affiliate or its or their Sublicensee within [*]of such achievement. Following receipt of such notification, Sutro shall invoice Astellas for the amount of the applicable Development Milestone Payment, and Astellas shall make the corresponding Development Milestone Payment within [*]after receipt of such invoice.

(b) Sales Milestone Payments. Astellas shall provide Sutro with written notice of the achievement of each Sales Milestone Event by Astellas, its Affiliate or its or their

Confidential

Sublicensee within [*]after the end of the Fiscal Year during which such Sales Milestone Event was achieved. Following receipt of such notification, Sutro shall invoice Astellas for the amount of the applicable Sales Milestone Payment(s), and Astellas shall make the corresponding Sales Milestone Payment(s) within [*]after receipt of such invoice.

(c) Royalty Reports and Payments. Within [*]following the end of each Fiscal Quarter, following the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product, Astellas will furnish to Sutro a written report for the Fiscal Quarter showing the Net Sales of the Licensed Product sold by Astellas, its Affiliates and its or their Sublicensees in the Territory during such Fiscal Quarter and the royalties payable under this Agreement for such Fiscal Quarter. Such written report will include the gross sales of such Licensed Product on a country-by-country basis, the deductions taken from such gross sales to arrive at Net Sales of such Licensed Product for the applicable Fiscal Quarter, a calculation of any applicable reductions under Section 8.5(b), and the calculation of the amount of royalty payment due on such Net Sales. Further, each such royalty report shall indicate gross sales and Net Sales in each country’s currency, the applicable royalty rate, the royalties payable for each country in such country’s currency, the applicable exchange rate to convert from each country’s currency to U.S. Dollars, and the royalties payable in U.S. Dollars. The royalties payable set forth therein shall be due and payable on the date such report is due. Astellas may true up to actual Net Sales each Fiscal Quarter as part of the Net Sales reporting for the following Fiscal Quarter if it identifies any variances from previously reported amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reporting under this Section 8.7(c) need not include any Cost Share Products in the United States.

(d) Payment Currency; Exchange Rate; Offset. All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars. Payments to a Party shall be made by electronic wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the other Party, as designated in writing to the paying Party. If any currency conversion is required in connection with the calculation of amounts payable hereunder, such conversion shall be made using a rate of exchange at the average actual foreign currency exchange rate for the month in which the expense is incurred or sale made according to the exchange rates utilized by the applicable Party in its own internal accounting system, consistently applied. Each Party shall have the right to offset any payment that is owed by the other Party but not paid against any payments owed by such Party, if any, under this Agreement.

(e) Late Payments. Any undisputed payments or portions thereof due hereunder that are not paid on the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: (i) the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal or any successor thereto on the first day of each Fiscal Quarter in which such payments are overdue or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law; in each case calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent (provided that if the payment is disputed, such interest shall be calculated from the time that the dispute is resolved), compounded monthly.

8.8 Records and Audit Rights. Each Party shall keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable under this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept at the principal place of business of each Party, as the case may be, for at least [*](or such longer period as required by applicable Law) following

Confidential

the end of the Fiscal Year to which they pertain. Each Party (the “Audited Party”) shall make such account and records available, on reasonable notice sent by the other Party (the “Auditing Party”), for inspection during normal business hours, with not less than [*]’ advance written notice, by an independent certified public accounting firm nominated by such and reasonably acceptable for the Audited Party, for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of any statement or report given by the Audited Party and to verify the accuracy of the payments due hereunder for any Fiscal Year. Such auditor shall advise the Parties simultaneously promptly upon its completion of its audit whether or not the payments due hereunder have been accurately recorded, calculated, and reported, and, if not, the amount of such discrepancy. Except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud, a Party’s financial records with respect to a given period of time shall only be subject to one (1) audit per Fiscal Year. The Auditing Party’s right to perform an audit pertaining to any Fiscal Year shall expire [*]after the end of such Fiscal Year and no given period may be audited more than one (1) time. The auditor shall be required to keep confidential all information learned during any such inspection, and to disclose to the Auditing Party only such details as may be necessary to report the accuracy of the Audited Party’s statement or report. The Auditing Party shall be responsible for the auditor’s costs, unless the auditor certifies that an overpayment to, or an underpayment by, the Audited Party that resulted from a discrepancy in a report that the Audited Party provided to the Auditing Party during the applicable audit period, which underpayment or overpayment was in favor of the Auditing Party by more than the greater of (i) [*]of the amount set forth in such report or (ii) $[*], in which case the Audited Party shall bear the full cost of such audit. If such accounting firm correctly identifies a discrepancy made during such period, any unpaid amounts or overpaid amounts that are discovered shall be paid/refunded promptly but in any event within [*]of the date of delivery of such accounting firm’s written report so correctly concluding, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. The Auditing Party shall treat all financial information subject to review under this Section 8.8 in accordance with the confidentiality and non-use provisions of Article 9, and shall cause its accounting firm to enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with the Audited Party obligating it to retain all such information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement. Upon the expiration of [*]following the end of any Fiscal Year, royalty calculations and joint Development Cost sharing calculations with respect to such Fiscal Year shall be binding and conclusive upon both parties. Unless an audit is ongoing with respect to such period, the Parties shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect to said calculations for such Fiscal Year.

8.9 Taxes.

(a) VAT. Any consideration due under this Agreement is exclusive of VAT. If any VAT will be chargeable on any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and is payable to the respective tax authority by the Party making the supply or providing the service for VAT purposes, upon receipt of a valid invoice in accordance with the applicable VAT law from the supplying or service providing Party, the other Party shall pay such VAT in addition to the consideration otherwise due.

(b) Withholding Taxes. Any Party (the “Paying Party”) required to make a payment pursuant to this Agreement to the other Party (the “Payee”) shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from the amount payable the tax for which the Paying Party is liable to deduct or withhold under any provisions of applicable tax law. If any Paying Party determines that applicable tax

Confidential

laws require withholding of any taxes, such Paying Party shall immediately notify the Payee in writing of the potential for withholding of taxes and cooperate with such Payee in good faith before undertaking any such withholding of taxes so as to reduce or eliminate any potential obligation for such withholding of taxes to the greatest extent possible, including with respect to obtaining the benefit of any present or future treaty against double taxation or refund or reduction in such taxes. Without limiting the foregoing, each Paying Party shall make any such required withholding payments in a timely manner and shall subtract the amount thereof from the payments made to Payee. Such Paying Party shall promptly (as available) submit to the Payee appropriate proof of payment of the taxes as well as the official receipts within [*]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Paying Party assigns this Agreement or changes its domicile, and, as a result, any additional taxes are required to be withheld with respect to payments made to Payee, such Paying Party shall be responsible for all such additional withholding taxes and shall pay the Payee such increased amounts as are necessary to ensure that such Payee receives the same amount (after any required deduction and withholding of taxes, including with respect to any additional amounts payable under this sentence) as it would have received had no such assignment or change in domicile been made.

(c) Tax Cooperation. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Law, of withholding taxes, VAT or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax or VAT.

8.10 Inventor Compensation. Each Party shall be solely responsible for any remuneration that may be due such Party’s inventors under any applicable inventor remuneration laws.

15.1 Assignment; Change of Control.

(a) Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, in whole or in part, nor, except as expressly provided hereunder, may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the prior written consent of the other

Confidential

Party; provided, however, that (i) either Party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part (including on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, Cost Share Product-by-Cost Share Product basis, or country-by-country basis), to any of its Affiliates; provided that the assigning Party shall continue to remain fully responsible for the actions or inactions of such Affiliate in the case of such Affiliate’s breach of this Agreement, (ii) either Party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder, to its successor in interest in connection with (A) a Change of Control (or similar transaction) or (B) a sale of all or substantially all of its assets related to this Agreement.

Any attempted assignment not in accordance with this Section 15.1 shall be void.

(b) Change of Control.

(i) Whether or not this Agreement is assigned pursuant to Section 15.1(a), the Parties agree as follows: the rights to Patent Rights, Know-How or other intellectual property rights of any successor-in-interest of a Party as a result of a Change of Control of such Party or any Person that becomes an Affiliate of a Party through any Change of Control of such Party, that were controlled by such successor or Person (and not such Party or any of its Affiliates prior to such Change of Control) immediately prior to such Change of Control (other than as a result of a license or other grant of rights, covenant or assignment by such Party or its other Affiliates to, or for the benefit of, such Person) or are developed or acquired by such successor or person after such Change of Control outside of the scope of this Agreement solely if the activities that led to such development or acquisition were Segregated, will not be deemed to be “Controlled” by such Party for purposes of this Agreement and will be automatically excluded from the rights licensed to, or the covenants made in favor of, the other Party under this Agreement, provided in each case except to the extent that any such Patent Rights, Know-How or other intellectual property rights (A) following such Change of Control, are actually used in the course of such Party’s or such Third Party successor-in-interest’s performance of activities under this Agreement, or (B) were licensed or sublicensed by such Third Party to such Party or its Affiliates prior to the Change of Control and were included in the licenses granted by such Party hereunder prior to the Change of Control.

(ii) Sutro (or its successor) shall provide Astellas with written notice of any Change of Control (or transaction that will be a Change of Control upon its closing) of Sutro within [*]following the signing date of the agreement(s) for such transaction (“Change of Control Notice”).

Confidential

15.2 Severability. Should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement become void or unenforceable as a matter of Applicable Law, then this Agreement shall be construed as if such provision were not contained herein and the remainder of this Agreement shall be in full force and effect, and the Parties will use their best efforts to substitute for the invalid or unenforceable provision a valid and enforceable provision which conforms as nearly as possible with the original intent of the Parties.

15.3 Governing Law; English Language. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to any rules of conflict of laws other than New York General Obligations Law §5-1401. This Agreement was prepared in the English language, which language shall govern the interpretation of, and any dispute regarding, the terms of this Agreement.

15.4 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Early Resolution. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute, controversy or claim arising from or related to this Agreement, including the formation, existence, validity, enforceability, performance, interpretation, breach, or termination hereof or thereof (excluding any Deadlocked Matter for which Astellas has the tie-breaking vote, a “Dispute”). Subject to Section 3.4 and Section 15.4(c), if any Dispute arises between the Parties, either Party may refer the Dispute to the Executive Officers of each Party for resolution. If, after [*]after the notice of Dispute, such Executive Officers have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the Dispute, and a Party wishes to pursue the matter, each such Dispute that is not an Excluded Claim shall be submitted for binding arbitration administered by the [*]pursuant to its rules in effect at the time such Dispute arises. The option to arbitrate under this Section 15.4(a) shall extend to any claims by or against the Parties and their respective Affiliates and any agents, principals, officers, directors, or employees of either of the Parties or their respective Affiliates.

(b) Arbitration. Any arbitration that the Parties decide to pursue shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator experienced in the business of pharmaceutical or biologicals. If the issues in dispute involve scientific, technical or commercial matters, the arbitrator chosen hereunder may engage experts that have educational training or industry experience sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of relevant scientific, medical and industry knowledge, as necessary to help resolve the dispute. The Parties shall select the arbitrator promptly following the initiation of the arbitration. If the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the arbitrator within [*]following the initiation of arbitration, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the [*]. The arbitration shall be conducted in [*]and all proceedings and communications shall be in English. Except to the extent necessary to enforce a legal right or as may be required by law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees and an equal share of the arbitrator’s fees and any administrative fees of arbitration. Any arbitration findings or rulings made under this Section 15.4(b) shall be final and binding on the Parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. As used in this Section 15.4, the term “Excluded Claim” means a dispute, controversy or claim that concerns (i) the validity or infringement of a patent, trademark, copyright or trade secret, or (ii) any antitrust,

Confidential

anti-monopoly or competition Applicable Laws or regulation, whether or not statutory. Any action concerning Excluded Claims identified in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) may be brought in any court having jurisdiction.

(d) Confidentiality. Except to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law, legal process, or a court order or to enforce a final settlement agreement or secure enforcement of any arbitration award, the Parties agree that the existence, terms and content of any arbitration, all information and documents disclosed in any arbitration or evidencing any arbitration results, award, judgment or settlement, or the performance thereof, and any allegations, statements and admissions made or positions taken by either Party in any arbitration, shall be treated and maintained in confidence and are not intended to be used or disclosed for any other purpose or in any other forum.

(e) Equitable Relief. Nothing in this Section 15.4 shall preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions and obligations set forth in Sections 2.6, 4.1(d), and 13.1 and in Article 9 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and that such other Party would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Sections or Articles may result in irreparable injury to such other Party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Sections or Articles, the non-breaching Party shall be authorized and entitled to seek, without any requirement to post bond, from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity.

15.5 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be responsible to the other for any failure or delay in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement or for other nonperformance hereunder (excluding, in each case, the obligation to make payments when due) if such delay or nonperformance is caused by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident, war, act of terrorism, pandemics, act of God or of the government of any country or of any local government, or by any other cause unavoidable or beyond the control of any Party hereto. In such event, such affected Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resume performance of its obligations and shall keep the other Party informed of actions related thereto.

15.6 Extension to Affiliates. Except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Agreement, each Party shall have the right to extend its rights and obligations granted in this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates, including, in the case of Astellas, to grant sublicenses (through multiple tiers) to its Affiliates. All applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any such Affiliate to which this Agreement has been extended to the same extent as such terms and provisions apply to the Party extending such rights and obligations. The Party extending the rights

Confidential

and obligations granted hereunder shall remain primarily liable for any acts or omissions of its Affiliates.

15.7 Waivers and Amendments. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right arising out of this Agreement shall neither impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part, in that instance or in any other instance. Any waiver by a Party of a particular provision or right shall be in writing, shall be as to a particular matter and, if applicable, for a particular period of time and shall be signed by such Party. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified other than by a written document signed by authorized representatives of each Party.

15.8 Relationship of the Parties.

(a) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, joint venture, or legal entity of any type between Sutro and Astellas, or to constitute one as the agent of the other under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-1(a)(2) (or any
corresponding provision under state, local or non-U.S. tax law) (an “Entity”) or otherwise. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Party the power or authority to act for, bind or commit the other.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), no Party (or successor or assignee) shall, for tax purposes, report the relationships established by this Agreement as an Entity, including either (a) making any disclosure that the relationships established by this Agreement may give rise to an Entity (whether on a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8275 or otherwise) or (b) withholding any amounts from payments made to the other Party pursuant to 26 U.S. Code § 1446 (or any corresponding provision under state, local or non-U.S. tax law), unless required by a tax authority on audit or other examination.

(c) The Parties agree and acknowledge that they are acting for their own account and do not intend this Agreement to result in an Entity. Each Party is acting on its own behalf and has obtained its own legal, tax, and investment advice regarding the execution of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising herein. The Parties shall not maintain joint bank accounts and shall not commingle funds.

15.9 Notices. All notices, consents or waivers under this Agreement shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person, transmitted by email (receipt verified) or by express courier service (signature required) to the Party to which it is directed at its address or email shown below (or to such other addresses and fax numbers as a Party may designate by notice).
