If the CFIUS Approval Condition is not satisfied because either (i) the parties hereto jointly withdraw the application therefor or (ii) CFIUS notifies the parties in writing that CFIUS (A) has completed its review or investigation and has determined that it requires no more time to review or investigate and (B)

intends to send a report to the President recommending that the President act to suspend or prohibit the Transactions (the “CFIUS Denial”), the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts, consistent with any recommendations or concerns of CFIUS during the 10 day period following the CFIUS Denial (the "CFIUS Cure Period") to negotiate an amendment to this Agreement to give effect to the terms and provisions of this Section 4.07 to provide for an Investor-designated nominee to serve as a Director in compliance with applicable Law (the "CFIUS Cure Amendment").

(b)Upon the occurrence of the Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights, (i) the Investor Director Designee shall immediately resign at the request of the Board (which request may be upon or at any time following the occurrence of the Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights), and Investor shall cause the Investor Director Designee immediately to resign from the Board effective as of the date requested by the Board, and (ii) Investor shall no longer have any rights under this Section 4.07, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any designation and/or nomination rights under Section 4.07(c) or Section 4.07(d).

The Company shall include the Investor Director Designee designated by Investor in accordance with this Section 4.07(c) in the Company’s slate of nominees for the applicable annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and shall recommend that, and solicit proxies from, the holders of the Company’s common stock vote in favor of the Investor Director Designee in a manner consistent with other non-executive director nominees on the Company’s slate of nominees. For the avoidance of doubt, Investor shall not be required to comply with the advance notice provisions generally applicable to the nomination of Directors by the Company so long as Investor provides reasonable advance notice to the Company of the Investor Director Designee prior to the mailing of the proxy statement by the Company; provided that the Company shall provide reasonable advance notice to Investor of the expected mailing date. The Company will provide Investor with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments, which the Company will consider in good faith, with respect to any portion of the proxy statement or other proxy materials relating to Investor, the Investor Parties, the Investor Director Designee or this Agreement, the Joint Venture Agreement or the License Agreement.

(d)Subject to Section 4.07(g), the Investor Director Designee shall be invited to, provided notice of and materials for all meetings of the Board substantially in the same manner (including with respect to timing and content) as other non-executive Directors.

(e)In the event of the death, disability, resignation or removal of any Investor Director Designee as a member of the Board (other than resignation pursuant to Section 4.07(b)), Investor, until the occurrence of the Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights, shall be entitled to designate an Investor Director Designee reasonably acceptable to the Board (and if the Board has a nominating committee at such time, such committee) (provided, that Investor’s chief executive officer as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Board and such committee) to replace such Investor Director Designee, and subject to Section 4.07(f) and any applicable provisions of the DGCL, the Company shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to cause such Investor Director Designee to be promptly appointed to fill such resulting vacancy. To the extent that the Board (or its nominating committee) reasonably determines that the proposed Investor Director Designee is not acceptable, Investor shall be permitted to propose

additional Persons until such time that the Board (or its nominating committee) determines that a proposed Investor Director Designee is reasonably acceptable. With respect to any advance written resignation from the Board submitted by an Investor Director Designee to be effective upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, including upon notice from Investor to the Company that such resignation is effective, the Company will promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action necessary to recognize such resignation and appoint the replacement for such resigned Investor Director Designee to the Board, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and applicable Law, including the DGCL.

(f)The Company’s obligations to have any Investor Director Designee appointed to the Board or to nominate any Investor Director Designee for election as a director at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to this Section 4.07, as applicable, shall in each case be subject to such Investor Director Designee’s reasonable satisfaction of all requirements regarding service as a director of the Company under applicable Law and the rules or listing standards of the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Stock is listed regarding service as a director of the Company and all other criteria and qualifications for service as a director generally applicable to all non-executive directors of the Company (in each case, excluding any "independence" requirements under the rules or listing standards of a National Securities Exchange, the rules of, or promulgated by, the SEC or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or the Securities Exchange Act); provided that the shares of Common Stock owned by the Investor Parties shall count towards the Investor Director Designee’s stock ownership requirements under the Company’s stock ownership guidelines; provided, that in no event shall such Investor Director Designee’s relationship with Investor or its Affiliates or the existence of or payments under this Agreement, the Joint Venture Agreement or the License Agreement or the Investor Parties’ ownership of Common Stock, in and of itself, be considered to disqualify such Investor Director Designee from being a member of the Board pursuant to this Section 4.07. Investor will cause each Investor Director Designee to make himself or herself reasonably available for interviews and to consent to such reference and background checks or other investigations as the Board may reasonably request to determine the Investor Director Designee’s eligibility and qualification to serve as a director of the Company. No Investor Director Designee shall be eligible to serve on the Board if he or she has been involved in any of the events enumerated under Item 2(d) or (2) of Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act or Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or is subject to any Judgment prohibiting service as a director of any company with a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. As a condition to any Investor Director Designee’s election to the Board or nomination for election as a director of the Company at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders, Investor and the Investor Director Designee must provide to the Company:

(i)all information requested by the Company that is required to be or is reasonably and customarily disclosed for directors, candidates for directors and their respective Affiliates and Representatives in a proxy statement or other filings in accordance with applicable Law, the rules or listing standards of the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or the Company Charter Documents or corporate governance guidelines of the Company generally applicable to all non-executive Directors, in each case, relating to the Investor Director Designee’s election as a Director;

(ii)all information requested by the Company in connection with assessing eligibility and other criteria applicable to Directors or satisfying compliance and legal or regulatory obligations, in each case, relating to the Investor Director Designee’s nomination or election, as applicable, as a director of the Company; and

(iii)an undertaking in writing by the Investor Director Designee:

to be subject to, bound by and duly comply with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Policy, each in the form agreed upon by the other non-executive members of the Board of the Company; and

to recuse himself or herself from any deliberations or discussion of the Board or any committee thereof (i) regarding this Agreement, the Joint Venture Agreement, the License Agreement or any of the terms, provisions or transactions hereunder or thereunder or transactions, controversies, disputes or other matter involving the Company or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Investor or its Affiliates, on the other; or (ii) that, in the Company’s management’s or Board’s reasonable judgment, would reasonably be likely to (A) result in a conflict of interest or be deemed competitive in nature, including, without limitation, trade secrets or potential acquisitions, divestitures or other business opportunities, (B) adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, attorney work product protection or similar legal privilege, or (C) result in a violation of applicable Law.

(g)The Company shall be permitted to withhold any information and to exclude the Investor Director Designee from any meeting or portion thereof with respect to information and meetings involving items to which Section 4.07(f)(iii)b) is applicable, provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Investor Director Designee with prior notice regarding information or meetings to which such individual is being excluded, and a general summary of the rationale of such exclusion, to the extent possible without disclosing information that may otherwise be withheld.

(h)Investor shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to, from time to time, waive and/or resume its right under this Section 4.07 until the Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, if Investor waives such right (unless expressly stated by Investor as irrevocable), it shall be permitted at any time by written notice to the Company to resume such rights, and promptly following receipt of such notice the Company shall take all requisite actions to cause an Investor Director Designee to be nominated to and seated on the Board.

(i)The Company shall indemnify the Investor Director Designee and provide the Investor Director Designee with director and officer insurance to the same extent as it indemnifies and provides such insurance to other non-executive members of the Board pursuant to the Company Charter Documents, the DGCL or otherwise.

(d)If, as a result of a Dispute Notice, there are less than two Persons on either of the Prohibited Investee list or the Prohibited Transferee list at any time, the Company shall be permitted to provide a Prohibited Investee Update or a Prohibited Transferee Update, as applicable, notwithstanding that the prior Update occurred within the previous six months.
