2.3 Sublicensing by BDSI.

(a) Scope of Permissible Sublicensing. The licenses granted by Shionogi to BDSI in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 may be sublicensed (through multiple tiers) by BDSI to a Third Party or any

Affiliate of BDSI without any requirement of consent, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(b). At least [***] prior to entering into any sublicense of its rights under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, BDSI shall provide to Shionogi, on a confidential basis, written notice of its intent to enter into such sublicense, including [***]. BDSI shall consider diligently, reasonably and in good faith all input received in writing from Shionogi within such [***] period, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not begin until Shionogi has received all information BDSI is required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to provide to Shionogi, with respect to such proposed sublicense. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the preceding and Section 2.3(b), BDSI shall have final say on, and Shionogi shall not attempt to interfere with, any sublicense and the terms thereunder.

(b) Sublicense Agreements. Each agreement under which BDSI grants a sublicense under the licenses set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 (each, a “Sublicense Agreement”) shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. BDSI shall be responsible for each of its Affiliates’ and each BDSI Licensee’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including the provision of Diligent Efforts by such sublicensee for the full term of their responsibilities under this Agreement during the AG Royalty Term and Branded Royalty Term and adherence to 2.7(a) and 2.7(c) BDSI shall, in each Sublicense Agreement, require such Affiliate or BDSI Licensee to provide the following to BDSI if such Sublicense Agreement terminates: (i) [***]) and (ii) [***]. BDSI will, as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of any Sublicense Agreement, provide Shionogi with a copy of any executed Sublicense Agreement (which copy may be redacted to remove financial provisions and other provisions which are not necessary to monitor compliance with this Section 2.3(b)).

2.4 Shionogi Reserved Rights in the Territory. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all rights granted to BDSI under this Article 2 shall not be construed to in any event limit Shionogi’s, its Affiliates’, or its or their licensees’, sublicensees’ or any of its or their Third Party contractors’ or agents’ rights to (a) perform Shionogi’s obligations or exercise Shionogi’s rights under this Agreement or any other Definitive Agreement or (b) without limiting Section 2.7(b), research, develop, manufacture, have manufactured, sell, offer for sale, import, export, or use Symproic or Naldemedine for any purposes related to the development or commercialization of Symproic, Naldemedine, or any product incorporating Naldemedine either outside the Territory or outside the Field.

2.5 Licenses to Shionogi.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, BDSI hereby grants Shionogi and its Affiliates a worldwide, nonexclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicenses), royalty-free, fully-paid license, transferable with this Agreement pursuant to Section 16.5, under the BDSI Technology during the Term to perform Shionogi’s obligations under this Agreement and any other Definitive Agreement, such license to be for a term commencing on the Effective Date and terminating on the day of termination or expiration of the last Definitive Agreement.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, BDSI hereby grants Shionogi and its Affiliates a worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicenses in accordance with this Section 2.5(b)), royalty-free, fully-paid,

Without limiting the foregoing, BDSI hereby grants Shionogi and its Affiliates a right of reference to all Regulatory Approvals (including the Assigned NDA), applications therefor, or other Regulatory Materials owned or controlled by BDSI, any Affiliate thereof, or any BDSI Licensee to exercise the rights granted in this Section 2.5(b), including without limitation in connection with seeking, obtaining and maintaining INDs and NDAs (and any other analogous regulatory approvals in foreign jurisdictions) in relation to Shionogi Products both inside and outside the Territory. In addition, BDSI shall take all actions and execute all documents (e.g. Certificates of Pharmaceutical Products (CPPs)) reasonably requested by Shionogi in its exercise of the foregoing rights. For clarity, the foregoing rights (A) shall be subject to the negative covenants in Section 2.7 below and (B) shall not create any right in favor of Shionogi to amend or supplement the Assigned NDA after the Effective Date. Shionogi and its Affiliates may grant sublicenses to Third Parties, with the rights for such sublicensees to grant further sublicenses, of the rights granted to Shionogi and its Affiliates under this Section 2.5(b) solely in connection with the grant of a license or other rights to any Information (other than BDSI Know-How), Patents (other than BDSI Patents), other intellectual property rights (e.g., trademarks), or regulatory assets that are owned, licensed, or otherwise controlled by Shionogi or any Affiliate thereof and relate to any of the Shionogi Product(s) that are the subject of such sublicense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Shionogi shall ensure that any written agreement pursuant to which Shionogi or its Affiliate or any of their sublicensees grant a sublicense pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) contains terms and conditions reasonably sufficient to ensure Shionogi’s ability to comply with the applicable terms of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement “Shionogi Products” means any of the following: Naldemedine, any analog or derivative thereof, or any product (other than Symproic) incorporating Naldemedine or any analog or derivative thereof (alone or with any other API).

2.6 Domain Names. On the Effective Date, Shionogi shall transfer, and hereby assigns, to BDSI all of Shionogi’s right, title and interest in and to the Symproic Domain Names. Such transfer shall be accomplished via the delivery by each Party to the other of a duly executed Domain Name Assignment substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT I. BDSI shall, at its cost and expense, use Diligent Efforts to maintain the Symproic Domain Names in good standing throughout the Term.

2.7 Negative Covenants.

(a) During the Term, BDSI shall not develop, commercialize, nor enable any Third Party to develop or commercialize (by license or otherwise), and BDSI shall ensure that none of its Affiliates nor any BDSI Licensees develop, commercialize, nor enable any Third Party to develop or commercialize (by license or otherwise), any product (other than Symproic Developed or Commercialized in accordance with this Agreement) in the Territory that, alone or in combination with another product, (i) is indicated (or intended to be indicated) or the subject of regulatory approval for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in humans or (ii) is a peripherally-acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist for any indication.

(c) Each Party covenants that it will not knowingly use or practice any of the other Party’s intellectual property rights licensed to it under this Article 2 except for the purposes expressly permitted in the applicable license grant.

(c) AG Product Royalties. BDSI shall pay Shionogi [***] of all Net Sales of AG Product during the AG Royalty Term; provided, however that the royalties payable by BDSI with respect to Net Sales of such AG Product shall be [***] for the then-remaining AG Royalty Term on all Net Sales of AG Product occurring after the date on which all Orange Book Patents have expired or have been held invalid or unenforceable by a Final Court Decision.

The Parties acknowledge that pursuant to the [***], Shionogi’s parent company, Shionogi & Co., Ltd., is obligated to pay [***] a royalty of [***] of net sales of Symproic (where such net sales are determined in accordance with the terms of the [***]). In addition to the payments required by Section 3.2(a) through (c), BDSI shall pay to Shionogi, [***] of Net Sales of Symproic under this Agreement (as determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) during the applicable AG Royalty Term and Branded Royalty Term for so long as such obligation of Shionogi & Co., Ltd. continues under the [***] (the “[***] Royalty”).

3.3 Anti-Stacking. If BDSI is required by (a) a future court order or (b) settlement, license, or other agreement between BDSI and any Third Party that, in the case of clause (b), has been consented to in writing and in advance by Shionogi (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to make any payments to a Third Party for the practice of any Patents owned by such Third Party with respect to the Commercialization or Development (pursuant to a Development Plan approved by the JDC pursuant to Article 4) of Symproic in the Field in the

Territory, then BDSI will be entitled to deduct from all royalties due under Section 3.2 an amount equal to [***] of the royalties actually paid to such Third Party in any Calendar Quarter, up to a maximum amount of [***] of the royalties due to Shionogi in such Calendar Quarter.

3.4 Royalty Payments and Reports. All amounts payable to Shionogi pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be paid by BDSI in U.S. dollars within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter with respect to royalties earned in such Calendar Quarter. Each payment of royalties due hereunder shall be accompanied by a statement of the amount of gross sales of Symproic during the applicable Calendar Quarter, a calculation of Net Sales detailing the deductions from gross sales provided for in the definitions of Net Sales during such Calendar Quarter, and a calculation of the amount of royalty payment due on such sales for such Calendar Quarter.

3.5 Taxes. All payments under this Agreement shall be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable laws or by a governmental entity. If a Party is entitled under an applicable tax treaty to a refund, reduction of rate, or the elimination of, any applicable withholding tax, it must deliver to the other Party or the appropriate governmental entity with the assistance of the other Party, to the extent that this is reasonably required, the prescribed forms and information necessary to obtain such refund or to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve the other Party of its obligation to withhold tax, and the other Party shall apply the reduced rate of withholding, or dispense with withholding, as the case may be, provided that the other Party has received evidence, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the other Party, of the delivery of all applicable forms and information (and, if necessary, the receipt of appropriate governmental authorization) at least ten (10) days prior to the time that the payment is due. The Parties shall cooperate in accordance with applicable law to minimize withholding taxes. If, in accordance with the foregoing, a Party withholds any amount, it shall pay to the other Party the balance when due and make a proper and timely payment of the withheld tax to the proper taxing authority, and send the other Party proof of such payment within thirty (30) days following that payment. Notwithstanding a Party’s acceptance to reduce or dispense with any withholding, in the event it is determined by a Governmental Authority that there is a liability to such Party for failure to deduct, withhold or collect and remit any amount exceeding the amount withheld, if any, then, subject to the provisions of Section 12.3, the other Party shall defend, indemnify and hold said first Party harmless from and against any and all any liability for any amount that it should have deducted, withheld, collected or remitted (as well as any interest and penalties relating thereto). In furtherance of the above, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collaborate with the other Parties to defend such Claim and to mitigate any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses related to such Claim.

3.6 Late Payments. If Shionogi does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date therefor (other than amounts that are the subject of a good faith dispute), interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to Shionogi from the due date until the date of payment on a [***] basis at a rate equal to LIBOR (as published in The Wall Street Journal, New York edition) plus [***] or the maximum rate allowable by applicable law, whichever is less.

3.7 Financial Records; Audits. BDSI shall maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit Shionogi to confirm the accuracy of any amounts that are payable under this Agreement. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be open during regular business

hours for a period of three (3) years from the creation of individual records, in each case, for examination at Shionogi’s expense, and not more often than once each Calendar Year, by an independent certified public accountant selected by the examining Party and reasonably acceptable to BDSI, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the financial information and reports furnished by BDSI pursuant to this Agreement or of any payments made, or required to be made, to Shionogi pursuant to this Agreement. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid, or overpaid and in need of reimbursement, shall be paid or refunded (as the case may be) within thirty (30) days after the accountant’s report, plus interest (to the extent set forth in Section 3.6) from the original due date. Shionogi shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an underpayment by BDSI of more than [***] of the amount set forth in the applicable report, in which case BDSI shall bear the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of such audit.

3.8 Manner and Place of Payment. All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by the Party to receive such payment, unless otherwise specified in writing by such Party.

In the event the JDC is unable to reach consensus on any issue for which the JDC is responsible, the issue shall be presented to the Alliance Managers (as defined in Section 9.4) jointly with the Parties’ respective senior managers who are responsible for the matters in dispute (“Senior Managers”). If the Alliance Managers and Senior Managers are unable to resolve such dispute within [***], then the dispute shall be referred to the Parties’ Designated Executives. Once such an issue has been presented to the Designated Executives, they shall have [***] to make a final determination regarding the issue in dispute. In the event that the Designated Executives are unable to reach a final determination within such [***] period with respect to any issue properly before the JDC (including any issues related to Development of Symproic), then Shionogi shall have final decision-making authority with respect thereto.

(e) Termination of JDC. The JDC shall be disbanded, and no longer meet or have any obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Shionogi shall defend, indemnify, and hold BDSI, its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “BDSI Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses or other amounts payable to a Third Party claimant, as well as any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation of such BDSI Indemnitees (collectively, “BDSI Damages”), all to the extent resulting from claims, suits, proceedings or causes of action brought by such Third Party (“BDSI Claims”) against such BDSI Indemnitees that arise from or are based on: (a) a breach of any of Shionogi’s representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement or the other Definitive Agreements, (b) willful misconduct or grossly negligent acts or omissions on the part of Shionogi, its Affiliates, or the officers, directors, employees, or agents of Shionogi or its Affiliates, or (c) any breach by Shionogi of the [***] Service Agreement occurring prior to the Effective Date or liability of Shionogi arising under or in respect of the [***] Service Agreement prior to the Effective Date. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to the extent Shionogi’s ability to perform the preceding obligations is prejudiced by any BDSI Indemnitees’ material failure to comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 12.3, or as and to the extent that any BDSI Claim is based on or alleges: (i) a breach of any of BDSI’s representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement or any Definitive Agreement; or (ii) the willful misconduct, grossly negligent acts or omissions, or failure to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations on the part of BDSI, its Affiliates, any BDSI Licensees, or their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents; or (iii) infringement or misappropriation of any Third Party’s intellectual property rights in the exercise by or on behalf of BDSI, any Affiliate thereof, or any

BDSI Licensee of the rights granted to BDSI under this Agreement (except to the extent such BDSI Claim directly results from a breach by Shionogi of Section 11.2(e)); or (iv) in the case of clause (c) above, any breach by BDSI of the [***] Service Agreement following the Effective Date.

12.2 Indemnification by BDSI. BDSI shall defend, indemnify, and hold Shionogi, its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Shionogi Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses or other amounts payable to a Third Party claimant, as well as any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation incurred by such Shionogi Indemnitees (collectively, “Shionogi Damages”), all to the extent resulting from claims, suits, proceedings or causes of action brought by such Third Party (collectively, “Shionogi Claims”) against such Shionogi Indemnitee that arise from or are based on: (a) the Development, Manufacture, storage, handling, use, sale, offer for sale, importation, or Commercialization of Symproic by or on behalf of BDSI, its Affiliates, BDSI Licensees, or its or their distributors after the Effective Date; (b) infringement or misappropriation of any Third Party’s intellectual property rights in the exercise of the rights granted under this Agreement, or Development, Manufacture, use, or Commercialization of Symproic, by or on behalf of BDSI, its Affiliates, or BDSI Licensees after the Effective Date; (c) a breach of any of BDSI’s representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement or the other Definitive Agreements; (d) any breach of the [***] Service Agreement occurring following the Effective Date or liability arising under or in respect of the [***] Service Agreement after the Effective Date; or (e) willful misconduct or grossly negligent acts or omissions on the part of BDSI, its Affiliates, BDSI Licensees (other than Shionogi and its Affiliates), or the officers, directors, employees, or agents of any of the foregoing. The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply to the extent BDSI’s ability to perform the preceding obligations is prejudiced by any Shionogi Indemnitees’ material failure to comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 12.3, or as and to the extent that any Shionogi Claim is based on or alleges: (i) a breach of Shionogi’s representations, warranties, and obligations under this Agreement or any Definitive Agreement, (ii) the willful misconduct, grossly negligent acts or omissions, or failure to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations on the part of Shionogi, its Affiliates, or its or their officers, directors, employees, or agents, or (iii) in the case of clause (d) above, any breach by Shionogi of the [***] Service Agreement prior to the Effective Date.

12.3 Indemnification Procedures. Each Party’s agreement to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless under this Article 12, as applicable, is conditioned upon the indemnified Party (a) providing written notice to the indemnifying Party of any Shionogi Claim or BDSI Claim (each, a “Claim”) or Shionogi Damages or BDSI Damages, as applicable, arising out of the indemnified matter as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event no later than [***] after the indemnified Party has actual knowledge of such Claim or Shionogi Damages or BDSI Damages, as applicable; provided that the failure to give such notice will not relieve the indemnifying Party of its indemnity obligation hereunder except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying Party, and (b) permitting the indemnifying Party to participate (at its expense) in the investigation of, preparation and defense against, and settlement or voluntary disposition of any Claim; it being understood and agreed that the indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control over (at its expense) the investigation of, preparation and defense against, and settlement or voluntary disposition of any Claim, if the Claim is solely a monetary Claim and the indemnifying Party agrees to cover all Shionogi Damages or BDSI Damages, as applicable, and

provides the indemnified Party with reasonable guaranty with respect to same. No Party shall compromise, settle, or enter into any voluntary disposition of any such Claim without the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except if such compromise or settlement solely involves payment obligations and such payment obligations are fulfilled in full upon the entering into of the compromise or settlement; provided, however, that, if the Party entitled to indemnification fails to promptly notify the indemnifying Party pursuant to the foregoing clause (a), the indemnifying Party will only be relieved of its indemnification obligation under this Article 12 to the extent materially prejudiced by such failure. In no event may BDSI settle, compromise, or agree to any voluntary disposition of any matter subject to indemnification hereunder in any manner which would reasonably be anticipated to have a material likelihood of adversely affecting (i) any portion of the Shionogi Technology, Symproic Marks, or Shionogi Corporate Marks or (ii) Shionogi’s, BDSI’s, any of their respective Affiliates’, or any of their respective licensees’ or sublicensees’ ability to manufacture, develop, or commercialize Symproic or, in the case of Shionogi, its Affiliates, and its and their licensees or sublicensees, Naldemedine or any product (other than Symproic) to the extent incorporating Naldemedine (or any analog or derivative thereof) without, in the case of (i) or (ii), Shionogi’s prior written consent. In no event may Shionogi settle, compromise, or agree to any voluntary disposition of any matter subject to indemnification hereunder in any manner which would reasonably be anticipated to have a material likelihood of adversely affecting (A) any portion of the BDSI Technology or BDSI Marks or (B) BDSI’s, any of its Affiliates’, or any of their respective licensees’ or sublicensees’ ability to manufacture, develop, or commercialize Symproic in Field and in the Territory in accordance with this Agreement without, in the case of (A) or (B), BDSI’s prior written consent.

12.4 Insurance.

(a) Shionogi and BDSI shall each procure and maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, with respect to its activities hereunder and under the other Definitive Agreements and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated at all times during which Symproic is being commercially distributed or sold. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of a Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 12 or otherwise under this Agreement or the other Definitive Agreements. Shionogi and BDSI shall each provide the other with written evidence of such insurance upon request. Shionogi and BDSI shall each provide the other with written notice at least [***] prior to the cancellation or non-renewal in such insurance or self-insurance which materially adversely affects the rights of the other hereunder.

(b) In addition to, and without limitation of the foregoing, and except as otherwise set forth below, BDSI shall maintain insurance, including commercial general liability, product liability and workers compensation and employer’s liability, with respect to its activities under this Agreement regarding Symproic in such amount as it customarily maintains with respect to similar activities for its other products, but not less than the greater of (i) [***] each occurrence and aggregate for commercial general liability, (ii) [***] each occurrence and aggregate for product liability, and (iii) [***] each occurrence and aggregate for workers compensation and employer’s liability. Such coverage shall be maintained for not less than [***] following expiration or termination of this Agreement or if such coverage is of the “claims made” type, for [***] following expiration or termination of this Agreement. Upon written request, BDSI shall provide Shionogi with written evidence of the required coverage. Coverage may be in the form of primary insurance or a combination of primary and excess insurance.

12.5 Limitation of Liability. NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TORT CLAIMS ARISING HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 12.5 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT (A) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER THIS ARTICLE 12, (B) DAMAGES AVAILABLE AS A RESULT OF THE FRAUD OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF A PARTY, (C) DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ARTICLE 13, OR (D) DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF SECTION 2.7.

12.6 Direct Damages. This Article 12 shall in no way limit the Parties ability to seek remedies for direct damages suffered not resulting from claims, suits, proceedings or causes of action brought by a Third Party.

12.7 Set-Off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and without limiting either Party’s obligations under Section 12.1 and 12.2, should a Party be in material breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Definitive Agreement, including in default of paying, when due, any amount payable to any other Party under this Agreement or any other Definitive Agreement, such other Party shall have the right to withhold payments to be made to the breaching Party hereunder or thereunder until such breach is remedied.

Article 13

Confidentiality

13.1 Confidentiality. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, each Party agrees that, for the Term and for [***] thereafter, it shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement and the other Definitive Agreements (which includes the exercise of any rights or the performance of any obligations hereunder and thereunder) any Confidential Information furnished to it by any other Party pursuant to this Agreement except for that portion of such information or materials that the receiving Party can demonstrate by competent written proof:

(a) was already known to the receiving Party or its Affiliate, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by such other Party;

(b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving Party;

(c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the receiving Party in breach of this Agreement;

(d) is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party or its Affiliate by a Third Party without obligations of confidentiality with respect thereto; or

(e) is subsequently independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party or its Affiliate without the aid, application, or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding the definition of “Confidential Information” in Section 1.34, all Information generated under this Agreement, whether generated by one or both of the Parties, shall be deemed the Confidential Information of all Parties. In addition, the exceptions set forth in subsections (a) and (e) shall not apply to Information generated during or resulting from activities under this Agreement or the other Definitive Agreements, which Information shall be deemed Confidential Information regardless of whether such Information satisfies the criteria set forth in one or both subsections. For clarity, any Information generated by a Party under this Agreement may be used by such Party for any purpose that does not violate applicable law, but the disclosure of such Information shall be governed by this Section 13.1.

13.2 Authorized Disclosure. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to another Party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following situations:

(a) filing or prosecuting patent applications in accordance with Section 10.2;

(b) regulatory filings and other filings with Governmental Authorities (including Regulatory Authorities), including filings with the SEC or FDA, with respect to Symproic;

(c) prosecuting or defending litigation, provided that, to the extent reasonably possible, a suitable protective order is in place, documents are filed under seal, or other reasonable measures are taken to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information;

(d) complying with applicable laws and regulations, including regulations promulgated by securities exchanges;

(e) disclosure to its Affiliates, its and their employees, agents, and independent contractors, BDSI Licensees (in the case of BDSI), and Shionogi Licensees (in the case of Shionogi) on a need-to-know basis and solely in connection with the performance of this Agreement or the other Definitive Agreements or exercise of rights under this Agreement or the other Definitive Agreements, provided that each disclosee must be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use materially as protective as those set forth in this Section 13.2 prior to any such disclosure; and

(f) disclosure on a need-to-know basis to any bona fide potential or actual investor, investment banker, acquirer, acquisition target, merger partner, licensee, licensor, or other potential or actual financial or strategic partner; provided that in connection with such disclosure, the disclosing Party shall use reasonable efforts to inform each disclosee of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and cause each disclosee to treat such Confidential Information as confidential.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 13.2(a), 13.2(b), 13.2(c) or 13.2(d), it will use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information. In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information hereunder.

13.3 Publicity; Terms of Agreement.

(a) The Parties agree that the material terms of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of all Parties, subject to the authorized disclosure provisions set forth in Section 13.2 and this Section 13.3. The Parties (and/or their Affiliates, as applicable) have agreed to each make a public announcement of the execution of this Agreement substantially in the forms of the press release attached as EXHIBIT J-1 and EXHIBIT J-2 within [***] of the Effective Date, but in no event later than as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation.

(b) After release of such press release, if any Party desires to make a public announcement concerning the material terms of this Agreement, such Party shall give reasonable prior advance notice of the proposed text of such announcement to the other Parties for their prior review and approval (except as otherwise provided herein), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, except that in the case of a press release or governmental filing required by law or the rules of any securities exchange to which a Party is subject, the disclosing Party shall provide the other Parties with such advance notice as it reasonably can and shall not be required to obtain approval therefor but shall reasonably consider and incorporate the other Parties’ comments to the extent reasonably practicable. A Party commenting on such a proposed press release shall provide its comments, if any, within [***] after receiving the press release for review. No Party shall be required to seek the permission of any other Party to repeat any information regarding the terms of this Agreement that have already been publicly disclosed by such Party, or by any other Party, in accordance with this Section 13.3.

(c) If a Party or one of its Affiliates, as applicable, is obligated to file a copy of this Agreement with any Governmental Authority(ies) (e.g., the SEC), such Party or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall be entitled to make such a required filing, provided that it requests confidential treatment of at least the commercial terms and sensitive technical terms of this Agreement to the extent such confidential treatment is reasonably available to such Party or its Affiliate. In the event of any such filing, each Party will provide the other Party with a copy of the Agreement marked to show provisions for which such Party or its Affiliate intends to seek confidential treatment and shall reasonably consider and incorporate the other Party’s reasonable, good faith comments thereon to the extent consistent with the legal requirements governing redaction of information from material agreements that must be publicly filed.

Article 14

Term and Termination

14.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 14, shall remain in effect until the later of (a) the expiration of the Branded Royalty Term and (b) the expiration of the AG Royalty Term (the period from the Effective Date until the later of clause (a) or (b), the “Term”). Upon expiration of the Term, all licenses granted under Article 2 shall survive such expiration and become fully-paid, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable.

14.2 Termination for Breach. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party (or any of its Affiliates) materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement and, after receiving written notice from the non-breaching Party identifying such material breach in reasonable detail, fails to cure such material breach within [***] from the date of such notice (or within [***] from the date of such notice in the event such material breach is solely based upon failure to pay any amounts due (and not subject to a bona fide dispute memorialized in writing) hereunder).

14.3 Effects of Termination of the Agreement by Shionogi. Upon termination of this Agreement by Shionogi pursuant to Section 14.2, the following shall apply (in addition to any other rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such termination):

(a) Licenses. The licenses granted to BDSI in Article 2 (and any sublicenses granted thereunder to Affiliates or Third Parties) shall terminate.

(b) Remaining Inventories. Shionogi shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from BDSI any or all of the inventory of Symproic held by BDSI or any Affiliate thereof as of the date of termination (that are not committed to be supplied to any Third Party or BDSI Licensee, in the ordinary course of business, as of the date of termination) at a price [***] of such cost, provided, however, in the case of Symproic acquired by BDSI from Shionogi under the Supply Agreement, Shionogi’s price to acquire such Symproic hereunder shall be the purchase price paid therefor by BDSI thereunder (with no markup of [***]). All reasonable, documented, direct costs incurred in transporting and transferring such inventory shall be at Shionogi’s sole expense. BDSI shall provide Shionogi with a detailed report describing all such inventory within [***] of termination, and Shionogi shall notify BDSI within [***] after receipt of such notice to what extent, and with respect to which inventory, Shionogi elects to exercise such right.

(c) BDSI Technology. BDSI hereby grants to Shionogi, effective only upon such termination, an exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license, with the right to grant multiple tiers of sublicenses and transferable with this Agreement pursuant to Section 16.5, under the BDSI Technology to research, develop, make, have made, use, import, export, offer for sale, sell, and commercialize Symproic and Naldemedine in the Field and in the Territory.

(d) BDSI Marks. BDSI shall, if and as requested by Shionogi within [***] of termination, transfer and assign, and hereby assigns, to Shionogi all right, title and interest in and to the BDSI Marks (excluding any such BDSI Marks that include, in whole or part, any corporate name or logo of BDSI or its Affiliate or BDSI Licensee).

(e) Symproic Domain Names. BDSI shall, if and as requested by Shionogi within [***] of termination, transfer and assign, and hereby assigns, free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, to Shionogi all right, title and interest in and to the Symproic Domain Names.

(f) Regulatory Materials and Assigned Symproic Data. BDSI shall, if and as requested by Shionogi within [***] of termination, promptly (but in no event later than [***] following such

request) transfer and assign, and hereby assigns, free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, to Shionogi all right, title, and interest in Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Approvals for Symproic in the Territory that are owned or controlled by BDSI, its Affiliates or BDSI Licensees, including but not limited to the Assigned NDA and Regulatory Materials with respect thereto.

(g) Transition Assistance. BDSI shall, if and as requested by Shionogi within [***] of termination, at no cost to Shionogi, provide reasonable consultation and assistance for the purpose of promptly transferring or transitioning to Shionogi all BDSI Know-How not already in Shionogi’s possession and, at Shionogi’s request, all then-existing commercial arrangements relating specifically to Symproic in the Field in the Territory that BDSI is able, using reasonable commercial efforts, to assign, transfer or transition to Shionogi or Affiliate thereof designated by Shionogi to the extent reasonably necessary or useful for Shionogi or any Affiliate thereof to continue any Development in progress at such time of termination, manufacture, or Commercialize Symproic in the Territory. The foregoing shall include, but not be limited to, BDSI using Diligent Efforts to assign or transfer, upon request of Shionogi, any agreements with Third Party suppliers, contractors, or vendors that relate to such development, manufacture, or Commercialization of Symproic in the Territory. If any such contract between BDSI or an Affiliate thereof and a Third Party is not assignable or transferable to Shionogi or an Affiliate of Shionogi (whether by such contract’s terms or because such contract does not relate specifically or solely to Symproic) but is otherwise reasonably necessary or useful for Shionogi or any Affiliate thereof to continue any Development in progress at such time of termination, manufacture, or Commercialize Symproic in the Territory, then BDSI shall reasonably cooperate with Shionogi to negotiate for the continuation of such services and/or supply from the applicable entity.

14.4 Other Remedies. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability or obligation that already has accrued prior to such expiration or termination, nor affect the survival of any provision hereof to the extent it is expressly stated to survive such termination. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise be deemed to prejudice or adversely affect, any rights, remedies or claims, whether for damages or otherwise, that a Party may have hereunder or that may arise out of or in connection with such termination or expiration.

14.5 Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Shionogi and BDSI are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that each Party, as licensee of certain rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party (such Party, the “Bankrupt Party”) under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the other Party shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any intellectual property licensed to such other Party and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in such other Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon such other Party’s written request therefor, unless the Bankrupt Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under clause (a), following the rejection of this Agreement by the Bankrupt Party upon written request therefor by the other Party.

14.6 Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that have accrued prior to the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement or that are explicitly indicated by their terms to survive termination or expiration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the following provisions shall survive and apply after expiration or termination of this Agreement: Section 1, Section 2.5(b), Section 2.8, Section 3.4, Section 3.5, Section 3.6, Section 3.7, Section 3.8, Section 5.1(c), Section 5.2, Section 5.3, Section 6.2(b) (with respect to the second sentence thereof), Section 10.1, Section 11.4, Article 12, Article 13, Section 14.3, Section 14.4, Section 14.5, this Section 14.6, Article 15 and Article 16, and the following provisions shall survive expiration, but not termination, of this Agreement: Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 5.1(b), 6.1, 6.2(a), 6.3, 10.3 (with respect to infringements occurring prior to expiration), 10.4, 10.5 and 10.7. All provisions not surviving in accordance with the foregoing shall terminate upon expiration or termination of this Agreement and be of no further force and effect.

Article 15

Governing Law and Venue

15.1 Governing Law. Resolution of all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the validity, construction, interpretation, enforcement, breach, performance, application or termination of this Agreement and any remedies relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

15.2 Venue. Each Party (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York County, New York, with respect to actions or proceedings arising in whole or in part out of, related to, based upon or in connection with this Agreement or the subject matter hereof; (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such actions or proceedings may be heard and determined only in any such court; and (c) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court.

Article 16

Miscellaneous

16.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the other Definitive Agreements, along with all exhibits, appendices, or schedules to any of the foregoing and all other agreements between the Parties and/or their Affiliates executed in conjunction therewith as referenced therein, set forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior agreements and

understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as are set forth herein and therein. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party.

16.2 Force Majeure. Each Party shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented or delayed by force majeure (as defined below) and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice thereof to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall mean any event or condition beyond the reasonable control of a Party, including, but not limited to, an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, and failure of plant or machinery (provided that such failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill, diligence, and prudence that would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and experienced person engaged in the same type of undertaking under the same or similar circumstances). For clarity, force majeure shall not include a failure to commit sufficient resources, financial or otherwise, to the performance of obligations under this Agreement or general market or economic conditions not accompanied by circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a force majeure affecting such Party.

16.3 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement, and shall be addressed to the appropriate Party at the address specified below or such other address as may be specified by such Party in writing in accordance with this Section 16.3, and shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes (a) when received, if hand-delivered or sent by a reputable international expedited delivery service, or (b) [***] after mailing, if mailed by first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.

16.4 No Strict Construction; Headings. This Agreement has been prepared jointly and shall not be strictly construed against either Party. Ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement shall not be construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision. The headings of each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section.

16.5 Assignment. Neither Party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be permitted to assign, without the consent of the other Party, all (but not a portion) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a successor of all or substantially all of the assets or business of such Party to which this Agreement relates (i.e., Symproic), whether by way of merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction (or series of transactions); provided, however, that except in the case of a Change of Control of a Party, at least [***] prior to the effective date of any such assignment, the Party proposing such assignment shall provide to the other Party, on a confidential basis, with written notice of its intent to make such assignment, including (i) the identity of the proposed assignee, (ii) if BDSI is the proposed assignor, a description of the proposed assignee’s commercial capabilities sufficient to establish such proposed assignee’s ability to comply with the obligation to use Diligent Efforts to Commercialize Symproic in the Field in the Territory during the AG Royalty Term and the Branded Royalty Term, and (iii) the rationale for the proposed assignment. The Party proposing such assignment shall consider diligently, reasonably and in good faith all input received from the other Party within such [***] period (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not begin until the Party proposing assignment has provided to the other Party all information required by the immediately preceding sentence) with respect to such proposed assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the preceding and foregoing, BDSI shall have final say on, and Shionogi shall not attempt to interfere with, any assignment of its rights and obligations and the terms thereunder. Any permitted successor or assignee of rights or obligations hereunder shall, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights or obligations, including but not limited to, with respect to an assignment by BDSI, those relating to Diligent Efforts and Sections 2.7(a) and 2.7(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an assignment hereof to an Affiliate of a

Party, such Party shall remain responsible for any failure to perform on the part of such Affiliate. Any assignment or attempted assignment by a Party in violation of the terms of this Section 16.5 shall be null, void and of no legal effect.

16.6 Performance by Affiliates. Subject to the limitations of Section 2.3, each Party may discharge any obligations and/or exercise any right hereunder through any of its Affiliates and in such case, each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s corresponding obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any such obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.

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

16.8 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

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

16.10 Independent Contractors. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit any other Party in any way. Nothing herein shall be construed to create the relationship of partners, principal and agent, or joint-venture partners between the Parties.

16.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Scanned, pdf and facsimile signatures will be as binding as original signatures.
