Publication may be delayed for a reasonable period for the sole purpose of seeking patent protection, provided the patent application is drafted, filed, and managed in a manner that best furthers the Charitable Purpose. You will also use good faith efforts to ensure that Your subgrantees, and subcontractors, agents, and affiliates, as applicable, likewise seek prompt publication of any Funded Developments consisting of data and results.

PUBLICATION IN PEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS

If You seek publication of Funded Developments in a peer-reviewed journal, such publication shall be under “open access” terms and conditions consistent with the Foundation’s Open Access Policy available at: xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/Xxx-Xx-Xxxx/Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxxxxx/Xxxx-Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx, which may be modified from time to time.

Arsanis, Inc.

Global Access & Open Access

In order to establish that the projects we fund are charitable and will have a positive impact on the intended beneficiaries of our work, the foundation requires the projects it funds be conducted and managed in a manner that ensures Global Access and Open Access.

“Global Access” is a foundation policy requiring that: (a) the knowledge and information gained from the project will be promptly and broadly disseminated; and (b) the Funded Developments will be made available and accessible at an affordable price (i) to people most in need within developing countries, or (ii) in support of the U.S. educational system and public libraries, as applicable to the project.

“Funded Developments” means the products, services, processes, technologies, materials, software, data, other innovations, and intellectual property resulting from the project, including modifications, improvements, and further developments to Background Technology.

“Background Technology” means any and all products, services, processes, technologies, materials, software, data, or other innovations, and intellectual property created by You or a third party prior to or outside of the project used as part of the project.

Additional information about Global Access (including examples and case studies) can be found at xxxx://xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/.

“Open Access”is a foundation policy that sets the requirements, terms and conditions for publication of Funded Developments in a peer-reviewed journal. Additional Information on the foundation’s Open Access Policy for peer-reviewed publications and underlying data can be found at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/Xxx-Xx-Xxxx/Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxxxxx/Xxxx-Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx. Note: the foundation will pay directly for reasonable fees to effect publication on “open access” terms; such fees should not be included in the project budget (See the Open Access Policy FAQs for further detail).

a) Knowledge and Information

Describe how the knowledge and information gained from the project will be promptly and broadly disseminated (including how you will comply with the foundation’s Open Access Policy, discussed above).

Arsanis will promptly and broadly disseminate the output of Funded Developments in compliance with the Open Access Policy and Arsanis internal policies. Our primary approaches are publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentations (e.g. abstracts, oral sessions) at scientific congresses. In some circumstances, timing of disclosures may be gated by the need to provide for relevant intellectual property protections prior to such disclosures.

b) Funded Developments (Indicate “not applicable,” as appropriate)

i. Describe any Funded Developments that may ultimately result from the project, including any Background Technology that will be used or incorporated in the proposed project. If applicable, briefly explain how the Funded Developments will be made available and accessible at an affordable price to the intended beneficiaries. The use of commonly-available, off-the-shelf products (such as Microsoft Excel, Adobe, etc.) need not be disclosed.

Funded Developments that may ultimately result from the project include:

• Monoclonal antibody (mAb) drug candidates targeting RSV infection.

• Pre-clinical data and regulatory filings that support the initiation of human studies of these mAbs.

• Manufacturing know-how for the production of GMP mAb drug product.

• Intellectual property (including patents and know-how) covering the mAbs.

Page 16 of 25

Background technology that may be incorporated in the project includes:

• Arsanis know-how related to the discovery and optimization of mAbs.

• RSV mAb sequences (patents and know-how) that may be in-licensed by Arsanis from Adimab, LLC upon exercise of the Adimab license described below.

• Technologies (patents and know-how) related to the optimization of RSV mAbs in-licensed by Arsanis from third parties.

• Technologies (patents and know-how) related to the manufacture of RSV mAbs in-licensed by Arsanis from third parties.

ii. Please confirm that you will make the Funded Developments – including any Background Technology incorporated into or required to use the Funded Developments – available to achieve the proposed project’s goals and Global Access. If you foresee any obstacles to achieving Global Access (e.g., third party rights, broad access, time frame, affordability) please briefly summarize the obstacles and the specific steps that you will take to address them.

Arsanis will make the Funded Developments available to achieve the project’s goals and Global Access as agreed upon with BMGF.

Potential obstacles include:

c) If one or more of the following applies, please click the following link to complete an Intellectual Property (IP) Report:

• Creation of Funded Developments will likely involve new IP rights (Note: copyrights in works intended to be published in accordance with the Open Access Policy need not be disclosed);

• Use of Background Technology requires access to existing IP rights; or

• For-Profit entities are engaged in the project.

Note: For login purposes, please use the email address to which this Proposal Narrative was sent. To delegate permissions to another member of your project team, or for any questions regarding the IP Report, please contact XxxxxxXxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
