ARTICLE XI — INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

11.01 Indemnification by Licensee. Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lilly and its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a "Lilly Indemnified Party") from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, cost, and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees), (collectively, a "Liability") that a Lilly Indemnified Party may incur, suffer or be required to pay resulting from or arising out of a suit or action brought by a Third Party with respect to (i) the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization, promotion, distribution, use, marketing, sale or other disposition of the Licensed Compound or Licensed Product by Licensee, its Affiliates or sublicensees, (ii) any breach by Licensee of any of its representations, warranties and covenants contained in Article X herein or any material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the negligence and/or willful misconduct of Licensee, its Affiliates or sublicensees with respect to its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall have no obligation under this Agreement to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Lilly Indemnified Party with respect to any Liabilities to the extent that they result from the negligence or willful misconduct of Xxxxx, Xxxxx Indemnified Party or any of their respective employees, officers, directors or agents or that result from Lilly's breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

11.02 Indemnification by Lilly. Lilly shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee and its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a "Licensee Indemnified Party") from and against any Liability that a Licensee Indemnified Party may incur, suffer or be required to pay resulting from or arising in connection with a suit or action brought by a Third Party with respect to (i) any breach by Lilly of any of its representations, warranties and covenants contained in Sections 10.01, 10.02 and 10.04 herein or any material breach of its obligations (ii) the negligence and/or willful misconduct of Lilly, and (iii) the Development, Manufacture, use or other disposition of the Licensed Compound or Licensed Product by Lilly or its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date, including, with respect to the Existing Studies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lilly shall have no obligation under this Agreement to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Licensee Indemnified Party with respect to any Liabilities to the extent that they result from the negligence or willful misconduct of Licensee, Licensee Indemnified Party or any of their respective employees, officers, directors or agents or that result from Licensee's breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

11.03 Conditions to Indemnification. The obligations of the indemnifying Party under Sections 11.01 and 11.02 are conditioned upon the delivery of written notice to the indemnifying Party of any potential Liability promptly after the indemnified Party becomes aware of such potential Liability. The indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any suit or claim related to the Liability if it has assumed responsibility for the suit or claim in writing; however, if in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified Party, such suit or claim involves an issue or matter that could have a materially adverse effect on the business operations or assets of the indemnified Party, the indemnified Party may retain control of the defense or settlement thereof by providing written notice of such effect to the indemnifying Party, but in no event shall such action or notice be construed as a waiver of any indemnification rights that the indemnified Party may have at law or in equity. If the indemnifying Party defends the suit or claim, the indemnified Party may participate in (but not control) the defense thereof at its sole cost and expense. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Parties acknowledge and agree that failure of the indemnified Party to promptly notify the indemnifying Party of a potential Liability shall

not constitute a waiver of, or result in the loss of, such Party's right to indemnification under Section 11.01 or 11.02, as appropriate, except to the extent that the indemnifying Party's rights, and/or its ability to defend against such Liability, are materially prejudiced by such failure to notify.

11.04 Settlements. Neither Party may settle a claim or action related to a Liability without the consent of the other Party, and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, if such settlement would impose any monetary obligation on the other Party or require the other Party to submit to an injunction or otherwise limit the other Party's rights under this Agreement. Any payment made by a Party to settle any such claim or action shall be at its own cost and expense.

11.05 Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR LOSS OF PROFITS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 11.05 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 11.01 OR 11.02, OR DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY'S BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS IN ARTICLE IX OR EXCLUSIVITY OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 2.05.

Licensee shall procure and maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated at all times during which any Licensed Product is being clinically tested in human subjects or commercially distributed or sold by or on behalf of Licensee. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of Licensee's liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 11. Licensee shall provide Lilly with written evidence of such insurance upon request. Licensee shall provide Lilly with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, non renewal or material change in such insurance or self insurance which materially adversely affects the rights of Lilly hereunder.

ARTICLE XII — TERM AND TERMINATION

12.01 Term and Expiration. This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and unless terminated earlier by mutual written agreement of the Parties or pursuant to Sections 12.02 or 12.03 below, the term of this Agreement shall continue in effect on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis until the expiration of Licensee's obligation to pay royalties under Article VII herein (the "Term"). Upon expiration of this Agreement in its entirety, Licensee's license pursuant to Section 2.01 shall become a fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual non-exclusive license.

The confidential portions will be filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a confidential treatment request.

12.03 Termination for Cause.

(a)

Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated, in its entirety by written notice by either Party at any time during the Term of this Agreement:

(i): upon or after the breach of any material provision of this Agreement if the breaching Party has not cured such breach within (A) sixty (60) days (other than breaches subject to (B)) and (B) one-hundred twenty (120) days with respect to any material breach of Licensee's diligence obligations, in each case following receipt of written notice from the non-breaching Party requesting cure of the breach or, if such breach is not susceptible of cure within such sixty (60) day or one-hundred twenty (120) day period, as applicable, the breaching Party has not taken appropriate steps to commence such cure during such sixty (60)-day period or one-hundred twenty (120) day period, as applicable and continued to diligently pursue such cure in a manner reasonably assuring such cure within a reasonable period of time thereafter (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days). The Parties acknowledge and agree that one example of how appropriate steps may be satisfied by Licensee, is by Licensee providing Lilly with a reasonable plan, which Lilly agrees is reasonable, for curing such material breach, and using commercially reasonable efforts to implement such plan in accordance therewith. Any right to terminate under this Section 12.03(a) shall be stayed and the cure period tolled in the event that, during any cure period, the Party alleged to have been in material breach shall have initiated dispute resolution in accordance with Article XIII with respect to the alleged breach, which stay and tolling shall last so long as the allegedly breaching Party diligently and in good faith cooperates in the prompt resolution of such dispute resolution proceedings. In the event that Lilly exercises it right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.03(a) for Licensee's material breach of its diligence obligation under Article V, then such termination shall be solely with respect to the Licensed Product concerned and the remainder of the Agreement (other than with respect to such terminated Licensed Product) shall continue in full force and effect; or
(ii): upon the filing or institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings by or against the other Party, or upon an assignment of a substantial portion of the assets for the benefit of creditors by the other Party, or in the event a receiver or custodian is appointed for such Party's business, or if a substantial portion of such Party's business is subject to attachment or similar process; provided, however, that in the case of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, such right to terminate shall only become effective if the proceeding is not dismissed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the filing thereof.

12.04 Effect of Termination on License. In the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Agreement, the rights and license granted to Licensee and its Affiliates under Section 2.01 of this Agreement shall terminate and all rights to the Licensed Compound and Licensed Product granted under this Agreement shall revert to Lilly, provided that all sublicenses granted under Section 2.05 shall survive to the extent so provided herein.

12.05 Effect of Termination Generally; Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination, and the

Any expiration or early termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to the rights of either Party against the other accrued or accruing under this Agreement prior to termination, including the obligation to pay royalties for Licensed Product sold prior to such termination.

12.06 Licensed Product Reversion. Upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety by Lilly for any reason or by Licensee pursuant to Section 12.02, at Lilly's option and upon Lilly's written request, and at Licensee's expense, the following provisions shall apply:

(a): Subject to Section 12.06(b), Licensee shall, at its sole expense, transfer to Lilly (or its nominee) all physical inventories of Licensed Compound and Licensed Product, and all INDs, Marketing Authorizations, drug approval applications for Marketing Authorizations, and all supporting documentation for such filings and applications (to the extent assignable and not cancelled) assigned to Licensee by Lilly hereunder to the extent relating to Licensed Product then being Commercialized or in Development.
(b): For a period of sixty (60) days after the effective date of termination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the financial terms (including, without limitation, royalties, mile- stones and upfronts) and conditions for (i) the transfer of all regulatory filings and documentation, and all physical inventories of Licensed Compound and Licensed Product pursuant to Section 12.06(a) and any other transition assistance required, (ii) the grant of a royalty-bearing license to Lilly under Licensee Know-How and/or Licensee Patent Rights existing as of such effective date of termination with respect to the Licensed Product then being developed as of the date of such termination, and (iii) the transition to Lilly of all clinical trials conducted by Licensee under Licensee's IND for Licensed Product that are ongoing as of the date of termination. Such sixty (60) day period may be extended by mutual written agreement of the Parties for an additional thirty (30) days. In the event that the Parties are unable to mutually agree upon the commercially reasonable compensation and terms with respect to the foregoing within such period, the matter shall be referred to a mutually agreed upon third party expert in the valuation of life sciences assets, each Party shall provide to such third party all information in its control necessary for such third party to resolve such matter, and the costs for such expert shall be borne equally by the Parties.
(c): Upon the request of Lilly, Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to assign to Lilly any sublicenses previously granted by Licensee related to Licensed Product.

12.07 Termination in Part. In the event that this Agreement is terminated in part with respect to an individual Licensed Product, the terms of Sections 12.04 through 12.06 shall apply accordingly to such terminated Licensed Product, as opposed to termination of the Agreement as a whole.

12.08 Return of Proprietary Information. Not later than thirty days (30) days after the termination of this Agreement in its entirety, each receiving Party shall, at the disclosing Party's discretion, either destroy or return or cause to be returned to the disclosing Party, all Proprietary Information of the disclosing Party in tangible form received from the disclosing Party and any other documents containing the disclosing Party's Proprietary Information, and all copies thereof, including those in the possession of the receiving Party's Agents pursuant to Section 9.01(d), except that the receiving Party may

ARTICLE XIII — DISPUTE RESOLUTION

13.01 Informal Discussions. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the rights or obligations of the Parties hereunder, or the relationship between the Parties with respect to the Licensed Compound or Licensed Product, the Parties shall first try to settle their differences amicably between themselves. Either Party may initiate such informal dispute resolution by sending written notice of the dispute to the other Party, and within thirty (30) days after such notice appropriate representatives of the Parties shall meet for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations. If such representatives are unable to resolve promptly such disputed matter within the said thirty (30) days, either Party may refer the matter by written notice to the other under Section 14.07 to the [**], or designee, and the Chief Executive Officer of Licensee, or designee, for discussion and resolution. If such individuals or their designees are unable to resolve such dispute within sixty (60) days of such written notice, either Party may initiate arbitration proceedings in accordance with the provisions of this Article XIII.

13.02 Arbitration. All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the rights or obligations of the Parties hereunder, or relating in any way to the relationship between the Parties with respect to the Licensed Compound or Licensed Product, shall be finally and exclusively settled by arbitration by a panel of three (3) arbitrators, provided such dispute is not an "Excluded Claim". As used in this Section 13.02, the phrase "Excluded Claim" shall mean a dispute, controversy or claim that concerns (a) the validity or infringement of a patent, trademark or copyright; (b) misappropriation of trade secrets; or (c) any antitrust, anti-monopoly or competition law or regulation, whether or not statutory.

Judgment upon the award rendered by arbitration may be issued and enforced by any court having competent jurisdiction.
(b): If a Party intends to begin an arbitration to resolve a dispute, such Party shall provide written notice to the other Party, informing the other Party of such intention and any statement of claim required under the applicable arbitration rules (as determined in accordance with Section 13.02(a)). Within twenty (20) business days after its receipt of such notice, the other Party shall, by written notice to the Party initiating arbitration, add any additional issues to be resolved that would be considered mandatory counterclaims under Delaware law. For clarity, the resolution of any disputes regarding such counterclaims shall be conducted in the same proceedings as the initial claims.

(i): All of the arbitrators shall have significant legal or business experience in pharmaceutical licensing matters. The arbitrators shall not be employees, directors or shareholders of either Party or any of their Affiliates.
(ii): Each Party shall have the right to be represented by counsel throughout the arbitration proceedings.
(iii): To the extent possible, the arbitration hearings and award will be maintained in confidence.
(iv): In any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, the award or decision shall be rendered by a majority of the members of the panel provided for herein, with each member having one (1) vote. The arbitrators shall render a written decision with their resolution of the dispute that shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts of the dispute and the reasons for their decision. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and non-appealable and binding on the Parties.

13.03 Injunctive Relief. By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any competent court of such court's jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of the arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award or judgment. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a national court, the court of arbitration shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to award damages for failure of any Party to respect the court of arbitration's order to that effect.

13.04 Expenses of Arbitration and Expert Determination. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys' fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrators; provided, however, that the arbitrators shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing Party, and if so, to award to that prevailing Party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges and travel expenses). Absent the filing of an application to correct or vacate the arbitration award as permitted by applicable law, each Party shall fully perform and satisfy the arbitration award within fifteen (15) days of the service of the award.

Initial Press Release

Cerecor Bolsters Clinical Pipeline with Acquisition of Phase 2-ready Kappa Opioid Receptor Antagonist from Xxx Xxxxx and Company

BALTIMORE, February xx, 2015 — Cerecor Inc, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing treatments to make a difference in the lives of patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders, today announced that it has acquired exclusive, worldwide rights from Xxx Lilly and Company ("Lilly") to develop and commercialize XX0000000 (which will be designated as CERC-501), a Phase 2-ready, potent and selective kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist. KORs are believed to play a key role in modulating stress, mood and addictive disorders. Research also suggests that selective KOR antagonists can block both the physical and emotional symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

CERC-501 was discovered and developed by Lilly for the treatment of co-occurring disorders, defined as a patient having one or more disorders relating to substance abuse combined with one or more mental health disorders. In Phase 1 clinical studies, CERC-501 was well tolerated, penetrated the blood-brain barrier and demonstrated target engagement, as shown through PET (positron emission tomography) imaging.

"Evidence of human kappa receptor binding coupled with unique competitive positioning and broad development potential make CERC-501 a key addition to Cerecor's pipeline, strengthening our position in the development of novel neuroscience compounds for underserved neurological and psychiatric disorders," said Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Cerecor's co-founder and CEO. "Clinicians, patients and families who struggle with mood and addictive disorders will recognize the need for more effective treatments, and we plan to initially develop CERC-501 to address nicotine dependence."

"CERC-501 is a potential first-in-class, best-in-class, oral medication to treat depression and co-occurring substance use disorders, such as alcohol, nicotine and/or illicit drug addiction," added Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Cerecor's Vice President of Drug Discovery and Development. "A planned clinical trial in nicotine dependence will afford us the opportunity to rapidly evaluate the effect of CERC-50I on tobacco reinstatement, and assess subject's craving, mood and anxiety during abstinence periods. If successful, this initial study could open the doors to additional indications for CERC-501 going forward."

Under the terms of the agreement, Cerecor will immediately assume full development and commercialization responsibilities of CERC-501. License consideration includes undisclosed milestone payments and royalties. Cerecor anticipates completing the technology transfer activities by mid-2015 and initiating clinical trials in the second-half of the year.
