[***]

To the extent that Company enters into a Burdened Transaction that is not in connection with a given Target that is then, or formerly was, a Category 1 Target, but is in connection with a Category 1 Compound or Category 1 Product, the percentage of Non-Royalty Income payable to DESRES shall be determined based on [***].

(b) If a Burdened Transaction relates to more than one Target (regardless of whether such multiple Targets are all Category 1 Targets and/or a mix of Category 1 Targets and non-Category 1 Targets, each as applicable), any consideration received by or on behalf of Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Burdened Transaction will be reasonably allocated across all applicable Targets and payments will be made at the applicable percentage levels specified above for each Category 1 Target as applicable. Company will provide DESRES with documentation to substantiate the basis for such allocation.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event a given Burdened Transaction takes the form of an option (by way of example, and without limitation, an option to license rights with respect to a Category 1 Product), the payments to DESRES with respect to such Burdened Transaction will be computed by [***] (i) [***] (ii) [***].

(d) With respect to any milestone payment received by or on behalf of Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a Burdened Transaction that is for a milestone event for which Company is required to make a milestone payment to DESRES pursuant to Section 5.3 or Section 5.4, DESRES will receive the greater of (i) [***], or (ii) [***].

(e) Company will, within [***] days after entering into a Burdened Transaction agreement with respect to which any portion of Non-Royalty Income is or may be payable to DESRES, provide DESRES with a copy of such agreement (which copy may be redacted to remove any provisions which are not necessary for DESRES to monitor compliance with this Agreement).

5.8 Late Payments. Any payments by Company that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement will bear interest at the lesser of (a) four percentage points above the Prime Rate of interest as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the date payment is due or (b) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law.

5.9 Withholdings.

(a) Company may withhold from payments due to DESRES amounts for payment of any withholding tax that is required by Applicable Law to be paid to any taxing authority with respect to such payments. Company will provide DESRES all relevant documents and correspondence, and will also provide to DESRES any other cooperation or assistance on a reasonable basis, as may be necessary to enable DESRES to claim any available reductions in, or exemptions from, such withholding taxes and to receive a refund of such withholding tax or claim a foreign tax credit. Company will give proper evidence, from time to time or on request of DESRES, as to the payment of any such tax. The Parties will cooperate with each other in seeking relevant benefits under any double taxation or other similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force. Such cooperation may include Company making payments from a single source in the U.S., where possible.

(b) Apart from any such permitted withholding and those deductions expressly included in the definition of Net Sales, the amounts payable hereunder will not be reduced on account of any taxes, charges, duties or other levies.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.9(a) or Section 5.9(b), if Company is obligated to withhold any withholding tax from any payment due to DESRES because (i) this Agreement has been transferred or assigned by Company, (ii) any rights with respect to a Category 1 Compound, Category 1 Product or Category 1 Target have been licensed or sublicensed by Company, or (iii) a Person other than one of the original parties to this Agreement will make the relevant payment, then the sum payable by Company (in respect of which such tax is required to be withheld) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that DESRES receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received if no such transfer, assignment, license, sublicense or payor substitution had occurred.

5.10 Payment Acknowledgment.

(a) Company acknowledges that the payments under this Agreement (i) are reasonable and appropriate and have been negotiated in good faith and on an arm’s-length basis to reflect various forms of value that may be obtained by Company from entering into this Agreement with DESRES, including the exclusivity obtained from DESRES during the relevant Exclusivity Period and such insights as may be provided by DESRES to Company with respect to the structure or function of any Target that then is, or formerly was, a Category 1 Target or of any Compound that Interacts with any such Target, which insights have the potential to aid Company, or any of its Subsidiaries or any Rights-Holding Party, in Generating, identifying, discovering or Pursuing Category 1 Compounds, and (ii) do not, to any material extent, represent consideration for the assignment of, or granting of any license under, any Patents or Know-How hereunder.

(c) Subject to Section 1.7 and Section 4.1(b)(ii), Company hereby waives any right to claim that it is not obligated to make a payment under this ARTICLE 5 with respect to any Target that then is, or formerly was, a Category 1 Target, or any Compound that Interacts with any such Target, or any product containing any such Compound, on the grounds that (i) any research into any such Target by Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Rights-Holding Party was not conducted using, or was not enhanced by, the insights provided, or any Know-How or Patents assigned or licensed, to Company by DESRES, or (ii) any Generation, identification, discovery or Pursuit of any such Compound or product by Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Rights-Holding Party was not conducted using, or was not enhanced by, the insights provided, or any Know-How or Patents assigned or licensed, to Company by DESRES.

PATENT PROSECUTION AND ENFORCEMENT

9.1 Preparation, Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of Jointly Owned Patents.

(a) Either Party may from time to time propose in writing to the other Party that a Jointly Owned Patent be prepared and filed. As between the Parties, [***] will have the first right, but not the obligation, to be the Prosecuting Party and thus to prepare, file, prosecute and

maintain Jointly Owned Patents throughout the world. Except as provided elsewhere in this Section 9.1, [***] shall bear [***] of the Out-Of-Pocket expenses incurred by the Parties with respect to the filing, prosecution or maintenance of each Jointly Owned Patent. .[***]

(b) The provisions of this Section 9.1(b) shall apply insofar as Company is the Prosecuting Party with respect to a given Jointly Owned Patent. Company shall keep DESRES reasonably informed of the status of the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of each such Jointly Owned Patent, and will promptly provide DESRES with material correspondence received from any patent authorities in connection therewith. In addition, Company will provide DESRES with drafts of each proposed filing and correspondence with any patent authority with respect to any Jointly Owned Patent for DESRES’s review and comment at least [***] Business Days in advance of the due date for such filing or correspondence, or any other due date that requires action in order to avoid loss of rights with respect to such Jointly Owned Patent, and Company may not, without DESRES’s consent, submit such filing or correspondence earlier than [***] Business Days after so providing such filing or correspondence to DESRES. Company will confer with DESRES and take into consideration DESRES’s comments prior to submitting each such filing or correspondence, as long as DESRES provides such comments within [***] Business Days after receiving the applicable draft filing or correspondence from Company. If DESRES does not provide comments within such period of time, then DESRES will be deemed to have no comments on such proposed filing or correspondence. In case of a disagreement between the Parties with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any Jointly Owned Patent with respect to which Company is the Prosecuting Party, the final decision will be made by [***] in good faith.

(c) At any time, a Party may terminate its rights and obligations under this Section 9.1 with respect to any Jointly Owned Patent in any country by providing the other Party with notice thereof and assigning its rights in such Jointly Owned Patent in such country to the other Party, whereupon such Patent shall no longer be considered a Jointly Owned Patent in such country for purposes of this Agreement.

Company shall provide such notice at least [***] days prior to any filing or payment due date, or any other due date that requires action in order to avoid loss of rights, in connection with such Jointly Owned Patent or, with respect to Section 9.1(d)(i), in the absence of such a due date, within [***] days after the date such proposal is made. Upon [***] providing, or failing to provide within the applicable timeframe, such notice, [***] will have the right, at [***] discretion, to become the Prosecuting Party and thus to continue prosecution or maintenance of such Jointly Owned Patent in such country, or to prepare and file an application to secure or preserve rights in such country.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.1(e) shall apply insofar as DESRES is the Prosecuting Party with respect to a given Jointly Owned Patent. DESRES shall keep Company reasonably informed of the status of the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of each such Jointly Owned Patent, and will promptly provide Company with material correspondence received from any patent authorities in connection therewith. In addition, DESRES will provide Company with drafts of each proposed filing and correspondence to any patent authority with respect to any Jointly Owned Patent for Company’s review and comment at least [***] Business Days in advance of the due date for such filing or correspondence, or any other due date that requires action in order to avoid loss of rights with respect to such Jointly Owned Patent, and DESRES may not, without Company’s consent, submit such filing or correspondence earlier than [***] Business Days after so providing such filing or correspondence to Company. DESRES will confer with Company and take into consideration Company’s comments prior to submitting each such filing or correspondence, as long as Company provides such comments within [***] Business Days after receiving the applicable draft filing or correspondence from DESRES. If Company does not provide comments within such period of time, then Company will be deemed to have no comments on such proposed filing or correspondence. In case of a disagreement between the Parties with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any Jointly Owned Patent with respect to which DESRES is the Prosecuting Party, the final decision will be made by [***] in good faith.

(f) The Prosecuting Party of a given Jointly Owned Patent shall have the right, with respect to such Patent, to (i) elect and file for patent term restoration, patent term extension, supplemental protection certificate or any of their equivalents, (ii) determine whether to seek a unified patent in the participating European Union member states and have such patent validated in the contracting states of the European Patent Organization that are not European Union member states, to seek a classical European patent that is subsequently validated in one or more contracting member states of the European Union, or to seek national patents in each country in the European Union, or (iii) determine whether to file a regional patent in Eurasia, the African Intellectual Property Organization (OARI), the African Regional Intellectual Property Office (AIRPO), and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), but, in each case, (i), (ii) and (iii), the Prosecuting Party shall reasonably consider any suggestions of the Non-Prosecuting Party with respect to each such determination.

(g) The Prosecuting Party shall have the first right to defend against any Patent Contest with respect to an applicable Jointly Owned Patent, other than as brought in a counterclaim to a Product Infringement case (with respect to which Section 9.5 shall apply). The Prosecuting Party shall provide the Non-Prosecuting Party prompt notice of any such Patent Contest and shall provide the Non-Prosecuting Party with the reasonable opportunity to substantively comment on such Patent Contest. Except as provided below, [***] shall bear [***] of the Out-Of-Pocket expenses incurred by the Parties with respect to any such Patent Contest.

(h) Prosecution and maintenance of any Jointly Owned Patent or defense of any Patent Contest in respect of a Jointly Owned Patent shall be through patent counsel agreed to by the Parties.

9.2 Transfer of Jointly Owned Patents. Each Party may assign or otherwise transfer its interest in any Jointly Owned Patent (in any country or jurisdiction); provided, however, that such Patent shall remain subject to any rights or licenses granted to the other Party under ARTICLE 7 and under this ARTICLE 9. At the reasonable written request of a Party, the other Party will, in writing, grant such consents, or confirm that no accounting or consent is required, to effect any such assignment or transfer regarding such Jointly Owned Patents.

9.3 Patents on Solely Owned Know-How.

(a) Company shall have the right to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain Patents throughout the world on any Know-How solely owned by Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including Company Drug IP.

(b) DESRES shall have the right to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain Patents throughout the world on any Know-How solely owned by DESRES or any of its Subsidiaries, including DESRES Technology-Related Property.

(c) DESRES shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable efforts (i) not to claim in any Patent any Know-How jointly owned by Company or any of its Subsidiaries and by DESRES or any of its Subsidiaries without first providing Company with the opportunity to file a Patent on such Know-How as set forth in Section 9.1 and (ii) not to claim in any Patent any Company Drug IP or any other Know-How solely owned by Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable efforts not to claim in any Patent any DESRES Technology-Related Property or any other Know-How solely owned by DESRES or any of its Subsidiaries. As long as a Party has used reasonable efforts in accordance with this Section 9.3(c) with respect to filing a Patent, such Party shall not be deemed, by reason of filing such Patent, to have breached Section 9.1. If, following filing, such Patent is determined to be a Jointly Owned Patent, the prosecution and maintenance of such Patent shall thereafter be in accordance with Section 9.1.

(d) Each Party, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby grants to the other Party and its Subsidiaries a perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive (even as to the granting Party and its Subsidiaries) license in the Territory, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers, under the interest of the granting Party or any of its Subsidiaries in any Patent solely or jointly owned by such granting Party or any of its Subsidiaries, which Patent claims Know-How solely owned by the other Party, to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise exploit (i) any Know-How solely owned by such other Party under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, and (ii) any Shared Know-How solely owned by such other Party or any of its Subsidiaries (and not owned by such granting Party or any of its Subsidiaries); provided, however, that the exclusive licenses granted under this Section 9.3(d) are subject to the non-exclusive licenses granted under Section 7.3(b).

9.4 Cooperation. DESRES will provide Company, at Company’s request and expense, commercially reasonable assistance and cooperation in Company’s patent prosecution, maintenance and defense efforts with respect to Patents claiming Company Drug IP, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution, maintenance or defense. Company will provide DESRES, at DESRES’s request and expense, commercially reasonable assistance and cooperation in DESRES’s patent prosecution, maintenance and defense efforts with respect to Patents claiming DESRES Technology-Related Property, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and

executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution, maintenance or defense. Each Party will provide the other Party, at the other Party’s request and, except as expressly set forth in Section 9.1, at the other Party’s expense, commercially reasonable assistance and cooperation in the patent prosecution, maintenance and defense efforts with respect to Jointly Owned Patents under Section 9.1, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution, maintenance or defense. In the event that a Party or any of its Subsidiaries receives reimbursement from a Third Party for expenses of patent prosecution or maintenance or Patent Contests with respect to a particular Jointly Owned Patent (or for such expenses with respect to a Patent that, at the time such expenses were incurred, had been a Jointly Owned Patent but later ceases, in accordance with Section 9.1(c), Section 9.2 or Section 9.5(b), to be a Jointly Owned Patent), such reimbursement shall be shared by such Party with the other Party [***] with respect to such Jointly Owned Patent as of the time such expenses were incurred.

9.5 Enforcement of Jointly Owned Patents.

(a) If either Party becomes aware of any (i) infringement, anywhere in the world, of any Jointly Owned Patent by a Third Party or (ii) declaratory judgment action by a Third Party alleging such Third Party’s non-infringement of any Jointly Owned Patent (each of the foregoing, a “Product Infringement”), such Party will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other Party to that effect.

(b) In the case of any Product Infringement of a given Jointly Owned Patent, as between the Parties, the Prosecuting Party will have the first right, but not the obligation, to be the Enforcing Party and thus to take action, control and obtain a discontinuance of the Product Infringement or bring suit against the applicable Third Party (such Third Party, the “Third Party Infringer”) under the applicable Jointly Owned Patent. If the Prosecuting Party wishes to exercise such right, it shall obtain a discontinuance of such Product Infringement, or bring suit against such Third Party Infringer, within a commercially reasonable period of time from the date the Prosecuting Party first becomes aware of such Product Infringement (and in any event not more than the shortest of (i) [***] months after the date of the Prosecuting Party first becoming aware thereof, (ii) [***] days after receipt of a notice pursuant to 21 U.S.C. §§355(b)(2)(A)(iv), 21 U.S.C. §§355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) or such similar Applicable Laws as may exist in jurisdictions other than the United States (a “Paragraph IV Notice”), or (iii) such shorter period of time as may be necessary to avoid loss of material enforcement rights or remedies). The Enforcing Party may request that it may join the Non-Enforcing Party to such action or such suit as a party plaintiff; provided, however, that, if the Non-Enforcing Party does not wish to be so joined as a party plaintiff, the Non-Enforcing Party shall assign its rights in such Jointly Owned Patent to the Enforcing Party (in which case such Patent shall no longer be considered a Jointly Owned Patent for purposes of this Agreement) or shall otherwise (x) grant the Enforcing Party the right, but not the obligation, to represent the Non-Enforcing Party’s interest in such suit, or (y) grant the Enforcing Party sufficient rights in the relevant Jointly Owned Patent to permit the Enforcing Party to bring such action without joining the Non-Enforcing Party as a party plaintiff. The Enforcing Party will bear all of the expenses of any suit brought by it claiming Product Infringement of any Jointly Owned Patent. The Non-Enforcing Party will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Enforcing Party in any such suit as reasonably requested by the Enforcing Party, and will have the right to consult with the Enforcing Party and to participate in and, if appropriate, be represented by independent counsel in such litigation, all at the Non-Enforcing Party’s own expense. The Enforcing Party will not, without the Non-Enforcing Party’s prior consent, enter into any settlement or consent decree that requires any payment by, or admits or imparts any other liability to, the Non-Enforcing Party or that admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any Jointly Owned Patent.

(c) If the Prosecuting Party (if it is then the Enforcing Party with respect to a Jointly Owned Patent) has not taken steps to obtain a discontinuance of a Product Infringement of such Jointly Owned Patent or filed suit against a Third Party Infringer of such Jointly Owned Patent within the time period specified in Section 9.5(b), then the Non-Prosecuting Party may, but is not obligated to, become the Enforcing Party with respect to such Product Infringement of such Jointly Owned Patent and exercise the Enforcing Party’s rights under Section 9.5(b), including the right to take action, control and obtain a discontinuance of the Product Infringement or bring suit under the applicable Jointly Owned Patent against such Third Party Infringer.

(d) The Enforcing Party under this Section 9.5 will keep the Non-Enforcing Party reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such suit. Any recoveries obtained by either Party as a result of any proceeding against a Third Party Infringer under this Section 9.5 will be allocated as follows:

(i) [***];

(ii) [***]; and

(iii) [***].

ARTICLE 10

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by Company. Subject to Section 11.3, Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to DESRES) and hold harmless DESRES and its Subsidiaries and their respective owners, directors, officers, employees, scientists, agents, successors, assigns and other representatives (collectively, the “DESRES Indemnitees”) from and against all damages, liabilities, losses and other expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and costs, from any Claim to the extent such Claim arises out of (i) (A) the research of any Target that is or previously was a Category 1 Target or of any Target that is or previously was a Category 2 Target; (B) the Generation, identification, discovery or Pursuit of any Compound that Interacts with any Target that is or previously was a Category 1 Target or any Target that is or previously was a Category 2 Target; or (C) the research, development, manufacture or commercialization of any product containing such a Compound, in each case, (A), (B) and (C), by or on behalf of Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Rights-Holding Party; (ii) Company’s failure to comply with any Applicable Law in connection with this Agreement; or (iii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Company; provided, however, that, in each case, (i), (ii) and (iii), Company’s liability under its indemnity will be reduced or apportioned to the extent such Claim is proximately caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a DESRES Indemnitee. Company will not, without DESRES’s prior consent, enter

into any settlement of such Claim that does not unconditionally release the DESRES Indemnitees from all liability or that imposes any obligation on any DESRES Indemnitee. The DESRES Indemnitees will not enter into any settlement of such Claim without Company’s prior consent; provided, however, that DESRES (on behalf of the DESRES Indemnitees) may settle such Claim solely with respect to the DESRES Indemnitees, subject to DESRES (on behalf of the DESRES Indemnitees) releasing Company from its indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations under this Section 10.1(a) with respect to such Claim. Notwithstanding the above, the DESRES Indemnitees, at their expense, will have the right to retain separate independent counsel to assist in defending any such Claim. Furthermore, in the event Company fails to promptly indemnify and defend any such Claim or pay the DESRES Indemnitees’ expenses as provided above, the DESRES Indemnitees will have the right to defend themselves at Company’s expense as long as such DESRES Indemnitees have provided Company at least thirty days’ prior notice and Company has not cured such failure, in which case Company will (subject to Section 11.3(a)) reimburse the DESRES Indemnitees for all of their reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in settling or defending such Claim within thirty days of each DESRES Indemnitee’s written request. This indemnity will be a direct payment obligation and not merely a reimbursement obligation of Company to DESRES Indemnitees.

(b) Indemnification by DESRES. Subject to Section 11.3, DESRES hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Company) and hold harmless Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective owners, directors, officers, employees, scientists, agents, successors, assigns and other representatives (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against all damages, liabilities, losses and other expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and costs, from any Claim to the extent such Claim arises out of (i) the research of any Category 1 Target or Category 1 Compound by or on behalf of DESRES in the conduct of its activities under the Joint Research Program, (ii) DESRES’s failure to comply with any Applicable Law in connection with this Agreement, or (iii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of DESRES; provided, however, that, in each case, (i), (ii) and (iii), DESRES’s liability under its indemnity will be reduced or apportioned to the extent such claim is proximately caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Company Indemnitee. DESRES will not, without Company’s prior consent, enter into any settlement of such Claim that does not unconditionally release the Company Indemnitees from all liability or that imposes any obligation on any Company Indemnitee. The Company Indemnitees will not enter into any settlement of such Claim without DESRES’s prior consent; provided, however, that Company (on behalf of the Company Indemnitees) may settle such Claim solely with respect to the Company Indemnitees, subject to Company (on behalf of the Company Indemnitees) releasing DESRES from its indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligations under this Section 10.1(b) with respect to such Claim. Notwithstanding the above, the Company Indemnitees, at their expense, will have the right to retain separate independent counsel to assist in defending any such Claim. Furthermore, in the event DESRES fails to promptly indemnify and defend any such Claim or pay the Company Indemnitees’ expenses as provided above, the Company Indemnitees will have the right to defend themselves at DESRES’s expense as long as such Company Indemnitees have provided DESRES at least thirty days’ prior notice and DESRES has not cured the failure, in which case DESRES will (subject to Section 11.3(a)) reimburse the Company Indemnitees for all of their reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in settling or defending such Claim within thirty days of each Company Indemnitee’s written request. This indemnity will be a direct payment obligation and not merely a reimbursement obligation of DESRES to the Company Indemnitees.

(c) Indemnification Process. In the event of a Claim against any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (in such capacity, an “Indemnitee”), (i) such Indemnitee (or the Party to which such Indemnitee is related) shall notify the indemnifying Party of such Claim, such notice to be provided promptly after the Indemnitee has notice of the applicable Claim unless the indemnifying Party would not be materially prejudiced by failure to provide such notice promptly; (ii) subject to Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.1(b), as applicable, the Indemnitee shall permit the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party’s cost, to handle and control the defense of such Claim; and (iii) the Indemnitee shall give the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party’s cost and reasonable request, all reasonable assistance in the indemnifying Party’s handling of such Claim.

(d) In no event shall a Party seek specific performance against the other Party except as provided in Section 16.2. The rights of a Party under Section 16.2 to seek specific performance against the other Party are subject to the following limitations:

(i) a Party that intends to bring an action to seek specific performance (the “Seeker”) against the other Party (the “Alleged Breaching Party”) shall give the Alleged Breaching Party notice of its intention to bring such action as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Seeker learns of the acts or omissions giving rise to the alleged breach;

(ii) the Seeker shall not seek an order the compliance with which is beyond the ability or outside the control of the Alleged Breaching Party or which would cause an undue burden or cost on the Alleged Breaching Party;

(iii) the Seeker shall not be entitled to any relief or findings of fact made in connection with any remedy that could reasonably be expected to (A) require a Person to violate any Applicable Law; or (B) result in the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Alleged Breaching Party;

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, prior to a Change Of Control of Company, Company or any of its Subsidiaries acquires (whether by merger, stock purchase, purchase of assets, in-license or other means) a Third Party, or a portion of the business of a Third Party, that is, prior to such acquisition, conducting a research, development or commercialization program with respect to [***] (any such program, an “Acquired Third-Party Program”), Company may elect by notice to DESRES to [***]:

(a) during the Research Term and for [***] years thereafter, each Receiving Party that receives any Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, use good faith efforts to keep confidential, and to not disclose to any Third Party, any such Confidential Information; provided, however, that the Receiving Party and its Subsidiaries may disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party’s own (and the Receiving Party’s Subsidiaries’ own) officers, directors, members, employees, Consultants, subcontractors, and agents, and

(b) the Receiving Party shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to so use, and to cause its Subsidiaries to so use, such good faith efforts if each such Person to which the Receiving Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) discloses such Confidential Information is bound in writing to commercially reasonable obligations of confidentiality.

14.2 Authorized Disclosure of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding Section 14.1, each Receiving Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) may disclose, or permit to be disclosed, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information:

(a) to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to prepare, file, prosecute, maintain, defend or enforce Patents in accordance with ARTICLE 9;

(b) to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to make regulatory filings and other filings with Governmental Authorities (including Regulatory Authorities), including filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including as a result of any public offering) or FDA, subject to the procedures set forth in Section 14.4 as applicable;

(c) to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to respond to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent Governmental Authority; provided that, to the extent possible without violating such order, the Receiving Party will first have given to the Disclosing Party notice and a reasonable opportunity to quash the order or obtain a protective order requiring that such Confidential Information be held in confidence; and provided, further, that if such order is not quashed or a protective order is not obtained, the Confidential Information disclosed will be limited to the information that is legally required or appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Party responding to such order, to be disclosed;

(d) to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with Applicable Law, including with regulations promulgated by securities exchanges, subject to the procedures set forth in Section 14.4 as applicable;

(e) to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to obtain advice from lawyers, accountants or other professional advisors;

(f) to make any disclosure of terms of this Agreement that are Confidential Information to any bona fide potential or actual investor, investment banker, lenders, acquirer, merger partner, licensee, Rights-Holding Party, insurers, collaborator, corporate partners or other bona fide potential or actual counterparty; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, any Person so receiving such Confidential Information must be bound by commercially reasonable obligations of confidentiality (of duration reasonably negotiated with such Person);

(g) to make any disclosure of Arbitration Confidential Information (i) to Persons who have a need to know, including bona fide potential or actual witnesses, experts, investors, investment bankers, lenders, acquirers, merger partners, licensees, Rights-Holding Parties, insurers, collaborators, corporate partners or other bona fide potential or actual counterparties, or (ii) as may be required to enforce the agreement to arbitrate set forth in ARTICLE 16 or to enforce any arbitral award; or

(h) to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to exercise or enforce the rights of the Receiving Party set forth or described in this Agreement.

In the event that a Receiving Party or any of its Subsidiaries is required to make a disclosure of a Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 14.2(a), Section 14.2(b) or Section 14.2(d), it will, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure and use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information.

14.3 Press Releases by Company. If Company or any of its Subsidiaries desires to issue a press release with respect to this Agreement or with respect to activities under the Joint Research Program, Company shall provide a copy of the proposed press release to DESRES at least [***] Business Days (or, if such press release is to be filed with the SEC, at least [***] Business Days) prior to its issuance. Company shall take into consideration any comments on such press release that DESRES provides to Company within such period. Any references to DESRES in any such press release shall be subject to approval by DESRES.

14.4 Filings with Governmental Authorities. The Parties acknowledge that either or both Parties may be obligated to make a filing (which may include filing a copy of this Agreement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other Governmental Authorities. Each Party will be entitled to make such a required filing; provided that, if such a filing includes a copy of this Agreement, the filing Party will (a) redact Confidential Information contained in this Agreement to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (b) request, and use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with Applicable Laws to obtain, confidential treatment for a period of at least [***] years of all terms of this Agreement redacted from such filing, (c) promptly deliver to the other Party any written correspondence received by the filing Party or its attorneys from such Governmental Authority with respect to such confidential treatment request, and promptly advise the other Party of any other material communications between the filing Party or its attorneys and such Governmental Authority with respect to such confidential treatment request, (d) upon the written request of the other Party, if legally justifiable, request an appropriate extension of the term of the confidential treatment period, and (e) if such Governmental Authority requests any changes to such redactions made by the filing Party, use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with Applicable Laws to defend such redactions and not agree to any changes to such redactions without, to the extent practicable, first discussing such changes with the other Party and taking the other Party’s comments into consideration when deciding whether to agree to such changes. For clarity, following a request from a Governmental Authority to change the redactions made by the filing Party, the filing Party will not be required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.4 to again request any redactions rejected by the applicable Governmental Authority. Each Party will be responsible for its own legal and other external costs in connection with any such filing.

15.4 Non-exclusive Remedy. Termination of this Agreement shall not be construed to be the sole remedy available to a Party with respect to any breach of this Agreement, and a Party’s right to terminate this Agreement, or exercise of such right, shall not prejudice such Party’s remedies at law or in equity in accordance with this Agreement, including such Party’s ability to receive legal damages (or, subject to Section 11.3 and Section 16.2, equitable relief) with respect to any breach of this Agreement, regardless of whether or not such breach was the reason for the termination.

ARTICLE 16

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

16.1 Mandatory Procedures. The Parties agree that any Disputes (other than those resolved in accordance with Section 3.3(a) through Section 3.3(c)) will be finally resolved solely by means of the procedures set forth in this ARTICLE 16, and that such procedures constitute legally binding obligations that are an essential provision of this Agreement and are the sole and exclusive procedures for resolution of such Disputes, and, in all events, are subject to ARTICLE 11.

16.2 Equitable Remedies. Although the procedures specified in this ARTICLE 16 are the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of Disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (a) either Party may seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional equitable relief that is consistent with Section 11.3 and this Section 16.2 from the arbitrators if, in such Party’s reasonable judgment, such action is necessary to avoid irreparable harm to itself or to preserve its rights under this Agreement; and (b) without limiting the foregoing, either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction (i) to seek injunctive relief in order to compel arbitration, (ii) to maintain the status quo and prevent irreparable harm until such time as an arbitration panel is appointed or the Dispute is otherwise resolved or (iii) to enforce an arbitration award. The grounds for seeking equitable relief expressly specified above in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 16.2 shall be the sole grounds on which equitable remedies may be sought and any seeking of equitable remedies shall be subject to Section 11.3(d) and Section 16.4.

16.3 Dispute Resolution Procedures.

(a) Any Dispute will be finally settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and the procedures set forth below. In the event of any inconsistency between the Rules of AAA and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

(b) The location of the arbitration will be [***]. Subject to Section 17.2, DESRES and Company hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the AAA arbitration panel selected by the Parties and located in [***] for any Dispute and to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in [***] for any action or proceeding to enforce an arbitration award or as otherwise provided in Section 16.2, and waive any right to contest or otherwise object to such jurisdiction or venue.

(c) The arbitration will be conducted by a panel of three neutral arbitrators who are independent and disinterested with respect to the Parties, this Agreement, and the outcome of the arbitration. Each Party will appoint one neutral arbitrator, and these two arbitrators so selected by the Parties will then select the third arbitrator within ten Business Days after the selection of the second arbitrator, or if such third arbitrator is not selected in such period, such third arbitrator shall be selected thereafter by the AAA. Any arbitrators selected by the AAA shall be selected from the AAA’s National Roster of Arbitrators and Mediators. All arbitrators must have at least ten years’ experience in mediating or arbitrating cases, preferably regarding the same or substantially similar subject matter as the Dispute between DESRES and Company. If one Party has given notice to the other Party as to the identity of the arbitrator appointed by the notice-giving Party, and such notice-giving Party thereafter makes a written demand on the other Party to appoint its designated arbitrator within the next thirty days, and the other Party fails to appoint its designated arbitrator within thirty days after receiving said written demand, then the remaining two arbitrators will be selected by the AAA.

(d) The arbitrators will resolve any conflicts regarding, and will control the process concerning, pre-hearing discovery matters. Pursuant to the Rules of AAA, the Parties may subpoena witnesses and documents for presentation at the hearing.

(e) Prompt resolution of any Dispute is important to both Parties and the Parties agree that the arbitration of any Dispute will be conducted expeditiously. The arbitrators are instructed and directed to assume case management initiative and control over the arbitration process (including scheduling of events, pre-hearing discovery and activities and the conduct of the hearing) in order to complete the arbitration as expeditiously as is reasonably practicable for obtaining a just resolution of the Dispute.

(f) The arbitrators may grant any legal or equitable remedy or relief consistent with and subject to Section 11.2, Section 11.3, Section 11.4, Section 16.2 and Section 16.4 that the arbitrators deem just and equitable, to the same extent that such remedies or relief could be granted by a state or federal court. No court action will be maintained seeking punitive damages or other remedies in contravention of Section 11.2, Section 11.3, Section 11.4, Section 16.2 and Section 16.4. The decision of any two or more of the three arbitrators appointed will be binding upon the Parties.

(g) The award of the arbitrators, which shall be issued within [***] months of the appointment of the arbitrators, or as soon thereafter as practicable, shall be final and binding. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(h) In addition to any other relief awarded by the arbitrators to the prevailing Party, the reasonable expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrators’ fees, reasonable expert witness fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees, may be awarded to the prevailing Party in the discretion of the arbitrators, or may be apportioned between the Parties in any manner deemed appropriate by the arbitrators. Unless and until the arbitrators decide that one Party is to pay for all (or a particular share) of such arbitration expenses, [***].

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Disputes arising hereunder with respect to the inventorship, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patent will be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by arbitration.

16.4 Limitations. The arbitrators will have no authority to (a) impose any obligation on either Party that is not expressly set forth in this Agreement or (b) provide a remedy that is beyond the reasonable ability of the relevant Party to perform or is otherwise outside such Party’s control, or that would cause a Party to become insolvent, file for bankruptcy protection (or any similar protections) or permit such a filing to be made against it. The provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) shall apply to any arbitration and award issued hereunder.

16.5 Performance to Continue. Each Party will continue to perform any undisputed obligations it has under this Agreement pending final resolution of any Dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

16.6 Tolling. The Parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation and time-based defenses (such as estoppel and laches), as well as all time periods in which a Party must exercise rights or perform obligations hereunder that are relevant to the subject matter of a Dispute being arbitrated, will be tolled [***], and the Parties will cooperate in taking all actions reasonably necessary to achieve such tolling; provided, however, that [***]. In addition, during the pendency of any Dispute under this Agreement initiated in good faith before the end of any applicable cure period, (a) this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, (b) the provisions of this Agreement relating to termination for material breach with respect to such Dispute will not be effective, (c) the time period for cure as to any termination notice given prior to the initiation of arbitration with respect to such Dispute will be tolled, (d) any time periods to exercise rights or perform obligations with respect to such Dispute will be tolled; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not extend either Party’s exclusivity obligations under ARTICLE 4; and (e) except as set forth in Section 15.2(a), neither Party will issue a notice of termination pursuant to this Agreement based on the subject matter of the arbitration, until the arbitration panel has confirmed the material breach and the existence of the facts claimed by a Party to be the basis for the asserted material breach; provided that if such breach can be cured by (i) the payment of money, the defaulting Party will have an additional ten days after its receipt of the arbitration panel’s decision to pay such amount or (ii) the taking of specific remedial actions consistent with Section 11.3, Section 16.2 and Section 16.4, the defaulting Party will have the specific timeframe (if any) that was established by such arbitration panel’s decision, or, if no such timeframe was established, a reasonably necessary

period, to diligently undertake and complete such remedial actions before any such notice of termination can be issued. Further, with respect to any time periods that have run during the pendency of the Dispute, the applicable Party will have a reasonable period of time or any specific timeframe established by such arbitration panel’s decision to exercise any rights or perform any obligations affected by the running of such time periods.
