The JSC shall consist of [**] representatives designated by each Party, or such other number as the Parties may mutually agree, each of whom shall be employees of their respective Party and none of whom are the Chief Executive Officer of either Party. As soon as practicable following the Effective Date (but in no event more than [**] days following the Effective Date), each Party shall designate its initial representatives on the JSC. The JSC shall appoint a chairperson from among its members, who shall alternate annually between representatives of AVEO and representatives of Biodesix, with the first such chairperson being [**] representative. The chairperson will be responsible for scheduling and leading meetings, establishing meeting agendas and other administrative matters relative to the meetings of the JSC but will have no express or implied authority beyond that held by the other members of the JSC. Each Party shall be free to change its representatives on written notice to the other or to send a substitute representative to any JSC meeting; provided, however, that each Party will ensure that at all times during the existence of the JSC, its representatives on the JSC are appropriate in terms of expertise and seniority (including at least one member of senior management) in the context of the collaboration of the Parties hereunder. For avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any language to the contrary herein,

EXECUTION VERSION

neither Party shall charge the other Party, whether through Ficlatuzumab Cost of Goods or otherwise, any FTE or overhead costs for such Party’s [**] designated representatives’ participation in the JSC or such [**] designated representatives’ activities performed hereunder.

2.2. Meetings. The JSC shall meet on a [**] basis, or more often as the Parties shall agree. At least [**] such meetings in each Calendar Year shall be conducted in-person, while the remainder may be conducted by video conference or teleconference, as determined by the JSC. In-person meetings of the JSC shall alternate between the offices of AVEO and Biodesix. Each Alliance Manager shall serve as secretary of each meeting and the Alliance Managers shall be collectively responsible for preparing the minutes of each meeting. Such minutes shall provide a description in reasonable detail of the discussions held at the meeting and a list of any actions, decisions or determinations approved by the JSC. The Parties agree that they shall endeavor to ensure that initial draft minutes of each meeting shall be distributed no later than [**] days following the meeting, any objections to the contents thereof shall be directed to the Alliance Managers of each Party within [**] days following such distribution, and final minutes shall be approved by both Parties at such subsequent JSC meeting. Final minutes of each meeting shall be distributed to the members of the JSC by the chairperson. The JSC may also convene, or be polled or consulted, from time to time by means of telecommunications, video conferencing or written correspondence, as deemed necessary or appropriate. Each Party shall disclose to the other proposed agenda items in advance of each meeting of the JSC. The JSC may invite other representatives of the Parties with special skills or knowledge to attend meetings where appropriate. The JSC shall adopt such other rules as shall be necessary or convenient for its work. Each Party shall be responsible for all travel and other costs for its representatives to attend meetings of, and otherwise participate on, the JSC.

2.3. Responsibilities of the JSC.

EXECUTION VERSION

2.4. Subcommittees of the JSC and Other Committees. From time to time, the JSC may establish one or more subcommittees to oversee particular projects or activities related to Development Plan activities, which subcommittees will include at least one representative of each Party and which will report to the JSC or another committee designated by the JSC unless otherwise decided by the JSC.

2.5. Decisions of the JSC. At least [**] JSC representatives from each Party must participate in a meeting of the JSC (and at least one representative of each Party must participate in a meeting of any subcommittee thereof) in order for there to be a quorum for such meeting. Subject to the remainder of this Section 2.5, all decisions of the JSC (or any subcommittee thereof) shall be made by the unanimous vote of the members of the JSC, with the JSC representatives of each Party collectively having one vote. The Parties shall use reasonable good faith efforts to reach consensus on all issues within the responsibility of the JSC. If members of the JSC cannot agree with respect to a particular issue within the responsibility of the JSC (or any subcommittee thereof), then such issue shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties who shall meet in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute within [**] days. To the greatest extent practicable, all decisions of the JSC with respect to action items to be carried out in furtherance of the Development Plan shall detail the item approved, the person or team authorized to initiate and carry out the action item, the budget related thereto and any limitations as to the scope of authority granted to such person or team.

2.10. Dissolution. Neither Party shall have any right nor obligation under this Article II, and the JSC and JCDT shall be dissolved, upon the effectiveness of Opt-Out by either Party under Section 3.5(c).

ARTICLE III - FICLATUZUMAB DEVELOPMENT; COST RESPONSIBILITIES; DEVELOPMENT OPT-OUT

3.1. Ficlatuzumab Development.

(a) Prior to the Effective Date, AVEO commenced a Development program for Ficlatuzumab, and following the Effective Date AVEO shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to continue to Develop Ficlatuzumab pursuant to Development plans approved by the JSC (such plans, collectively the “Development Plan”), as such Development Plan may be amended by the JSC from time to time. An initial Development Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A and includes the NSCLC POC Trial Plan.

(b) The Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete their respective obligations under the Development Plan within the timeframes specified in the Development Plan. Each Party will promptly inform the other Party in the event that it anticipates or experiences a delay in the completion of any such obligations. Each Party shall be responsible for any delay or failure by it (or its Affiliates) to timely complete its obligations under the Development Plan, except (a) to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by a delay or failure of performance by the other Party or a contract manufacturer, or (b) as may otherwise be mutually agreed in writing by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AVEO shall not have any further obligation to continue to conduct the Development Plan during the Opt-Out Phase.

(c) The Parties will collaborate on the regulatory strategy in the jurisdictions in the Territory for obtaining Regulatory Approval for the combination use of Ficlatuzumab in connection with the in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) developed pursuant to the VeriStrat Development Plan and any other assays decided upon by the JSC pursuant to Section 3.7(c), and in the preparation and/or exchange of any documents necessary to support any INDs, NDAs, BLAs, PMAs or other applications for such Regulatory Approvals.

3.2. Modifications to Development Plan. The Parties acknowledge that the initial Development Plan, including the initial NSCLC POC Trial Plan contained therein, does not set forth all material activities, timelines, obligations and specifications necessary for the execution

EXECUTION VERSION

of the Development Plan, and further acknowledge that requests from Regulatory Authorities may necessitate modifications to the Development Plan. The Parties agree that, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the initial Development Plan will be modified and made more comprehensive pursuant to direction and approval by the JSC, with the understanding that the JSC shall agree on a final design for the NSCLC POC Trial that meets the following criteria: (a) the NSCLC POC Trial shall enroll no less than [**] patients; (b) the NSCLC POC Trial shall be designed to cost no more than fifteen million U.S. dollars ($15,000,000), and (c) the NSCLC POC Trial shall be designed to meet regulatory requirements and conform with FDA feedback. Thereafter, as may be necessary from time-to-time, whether due to Regulatory Authority requests or otherwise, the JSC shall review proposed revisions to the Development Plan. If the JSC approves such revisions, then the JSC shall revise the Development Plan accordingly without need for amending this Agreement. The Parties shall not unreasonably withhold their consent to appropriate Development Plan revisions. The revised Development Plan shall thereafter be the Development Plan for all purposes of this Agreement.

3.3. Existing Supply of Ficlatuzumab. AVEO shall supply the Existing Supply of Ficlatuzumab as needed for the conduct of the Development Plan at no charge, provided that, Biodesix will reimburse AVEO for [**]% of the Ficlatuzumab Cost of Goods incurred by AVEO in connection with any such supply for Investigator Sponsored Clinical Studies approved by the JSC. AVEO may not dispose of, or supply to any Third Party, any of the Existing Supply of Ficlatuzumab without prior approval of the JSC.

3.4. Clinical Specimens.

(a) In connection with the Development Plan and with Biodesix’s activities under Article VII, AVEO shall furnish to Biodesix certain quantities of Clinical Specimens as agreed upon and set forth in the Development Plan or otherwise agreed upon by the JSC. Biodesix will comply with all applicable Laws relating to the Clinical Specimens. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent that the Clinical Specimens include human specimens, AVEO represents and warrants to Biodesix that either it has obtained all informed consents and Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC) approval(s) required by applicable Law with respect to such Clinical Specimens procured by AVEO or that it is not required under applicable Law to obtain such informed consents and/or has received a waiver for consent from an IRB/EC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Opt-Out by either Party, the provisions of Section 3.6 shall control.

(b) Biodesix agrees to retain possession of the Clinical Specimens and not to provide the Clinical Specimens to any Third Party (except for Third Parties conducting Development Plan activities pursuant to this Agreement and for whose performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement Biodesix remains primarily liable to AVEO) or to use or permit the use of any of the Clinical Specimens for any purpose other than the Development of VeriStrat in accordance with this Agreement without the prior approval of the JSC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Opt-Out by either Party, the provisions of Section 3.6 shall control. ALL CLINICAL SPECIMENS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE USE OF THE CLINICAL SPECIMENS WILL NOT INFRINGE OR VIOLATE ANY PATENT OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

EXECUTION VERSION

(c) AVEO will transmit to Biodesix the Clinical Data in the form of a Limited Data Set, which shall not contain any data that identifies or could be used to identify an individual (“Personal Data”). However, to the extent that Personal Data can be identified from any Clinical Specimens, participation in the Development Plan or otherwise, Biodesix shall hold in confidence all Personal Data except as required or permitted under this Agreement, or to the extent necessary to be disclosed to Regulatory Authorities as part of the review process. In addition, Biodesix shall comply with all applicable Laws with respect to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of any Personal Data, including the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent such Personal Data consists of Protected Health Information (PHI) as defined in HIPAA. Biodesix agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate technical and organization measures are taken to protect Personal Data, including PHI, against loss, misuse, and any unauthorized, accidental, or unlawful access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including implementation and enforcement of administrative, technical, and physical security policies and procedures applicable to Personal Data and, to the extent applicable, PHI.

3.5. Funding; Opt-Out.

(a) Other than with respect to AVEO’s supply of Ficlatuzumab (which is governed by Section 3.3), Biodesix will reimburse AVEO for all Development Costs incurred by AVEO in connection with the conduct of the NSCLC POC Trial after the Effective Date in accordance with the NSCLC POC Trial Plan, up to an aggregate reimbursement of fifteen million U.S. dollars ($15,000,000) (the “Cap”), subject to reduction as set forth below for Development Costs incurred by Biodesix for the conduct of the NSCLC POC Trial with the approval of the JSC. If the NSCLC POC Trial Plan budget is modified such that the aggregate Development Costs to be incurred in conducting the NSCLC POC Trial will exceed the Cap, then such excess Development Costs shall constitute Additional Development Costs and shall be borne by the Parties as set forth in Section 3.5(b) below. If Biodesix incurs Development Costs in connection with the conduct of the NSCLC POC Trial with the approval of the JSC, Biodesix shall pay for such costs, such costs shall reduce the Cap, and, after the Cap has been reached, such costs incurred by Biodesix shall be included in Additional Development Costs and borne by the Parties as set forth in Section 3.5(b).

(b) Biodesix will reimburse AVEO for 50% of all Additional Development Costs incurred by AVEO. “Additional Development Costs” means: (i) all Development Costs incurred in conducting the NSCLC POC Trial Plan in excess of the Cap; (ii) all Development Costs associated with the Development of Ficlatuzumab under the Development Plan other than costs incurred in conducting the NSCLC POC Trial Plan; and (iii) Ficlatuzumab Cost of Goods for supply in excess of the Existing Supply of Ficlatuzumab. If Biodesix incurs Additional Development Costs with the approval of the JSC, such costs shall be reconciled with, and off-set from, as appropriate, the Additional Development Costs incurred by AVEO such that each Party bears 50% of the aggregate Additional Development Costs.

EXECUTION VERSION

(c) Either Party may elect to Opt-Out solely after the earlier to occur of: (i) the Cap being reached or (ii) the completion of the NSCLC POC Trial, by providing [**] months written notice to the other Party (the “Opt-Out Notice”), but in no event may either Party Opt-Out after the First Commercial Sale of Ficlatuzumab. In the event a Party elects to Opt-Out, the Parties shall proceed as specified under Section 3.6. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party has the right to Opt-Out except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.5(c). The effective date of any permitted Opt-Out shall be the date [**] months following the date the Opt-Out Notice is given to the other Party.

3.6. Opt-Out Mechanics.

(a) If Biodesix elects to Opt-Out pursuant to Section 3.5(c), then, upon the expiration of the Opt-Out notice period: (i) Biodesix shall continue to be responsible hereunder for reimbursement of Development Costs as described in Sections 3.3 and 3.5 with respect to then-ongoing clinical trials under the Development Plan and with respect to any then-committed, non-cancellable Development Costs under the Development Plan; (ii) Biodesix shall have no further responsibility pursuant to Sections 3.3 or 3.5 except as set forth in the foregoing clause (i), provided that the Opt-Out election does not derogate from any accrued but unpaid obligations; (iii) Biodesix shall cease to be entitled to share in the profits and losses resulting from the Commercialization of Ficlatuzumab and shall instead be entitled to the Opt-Out Royalty; (iv) AVEO shall have sole discretion over the continued conduct of the Development Plan and shall have the right to amend the Development Plan without oversight or approval of the JSC or Biodesix; (v) Biodesix shall remain responsible for its Development obligations hereunder with respect to VeriStrat, including with respect to obtaining PMA approval of Veristrat as a Companion Diagnostic on a timeline previously approved by the JSC and consistent with the timeline for approval of Ficlatuzumab, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith as set forth in Section 6.1 to enter into an agreement pursuant to which Biodesix will agree to perform the VeriStrat Commercialization obligations set forth in Exhibit B under “Veristrat Commercialization” and “Opt-Out” and AVEO shall continue to be responsible for reimbursing Biodesix for each VeriStrat test sold in a jurisdiction where AVEO commercializes Ficlatuzumab and Biodesix has not obtained reimbursement for VeriStrat in connection with Ficlatuzumab as and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4 below, but AVEO shall not otherwise be obligated to make payments to Biodesix in consideration for Biodesix’s performance of Biodesix’s Development and Commercialization obligations with respect to VeriStrat. For the avoidance of doubt, all of Biodesix’s obligations under Article VII shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any Opt-Out by Biodesix and the Parties will cooperate in good faith to establish a mutually acceptable method and process for exchanging the information necessary to coordinate the continued Development of Ficlatuzumab in connection with VeriStrat to the extent that AVEO desires to continue such development following such Opt-Out by Biodesix.

(b) If AVEO elects to Opt-Out pursuant to Section 3.5(c), then, upon the expiration of the Opt-Out notice period:

(i) Biodesix may, at its sole cost and expense, control the conduct of further Development of Ficlatuzumab (including obtaining Regulatory Approvals), and AVEO shall (A) transfer to Biodesix, subject to clause (B) below and Sections 3.4 and 9.2(c) herein, the Clinical Specimens, Clinical Data (including the applicable clinical database) and related

EXECUTION VERSION

supporting documentation and (B) negotiate with Biodesix in good faith and grant an exclusive license, with rights to sub-license, to use the AVEO Intellectual Property to the extent reasonably necessary to enable Biodesix to Develop and Commercialize Ficlatuzumab, which license shall be granted at no additional cost (provided that such license shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the AVEO Third Party Agreements and, subject to the deduction of such costs from net sales described in the Opt-Out Royalty provisions of Exhibit B, Biodesix shall be obligated to make any and all payments due under the AVEO Third Party Agreements as identified herein by AVEO that relate to such license);

(ii) AVEO shall continue to be responsible for its share of Development Costs under Section 3.3 and Section 3.5 with respect to then-ongoing clinical trials under the Development Plan and with respect to any then-committed, non-cancellable Development Costs under the Development Plan;

(iii) AVEO shall transfer to Biodesix AVEO’s ownership of any regulatory filings and Regulatory Approvals relating to Ficlatuzumab (including related correspondence with Regulatory Authorities);

(iv) AVEO and Biodesix shall cooperate to transfer to Biodesix any then-ongoing clinical trials and Biodesix shall assume all responsibilities therefor;

(v) following the effective date of such Opt-Out, AVEO shall have no further responsibility pursuant to Sections 3.1 or 7.4;

(vi) AVEO shall cease to be entitled to share in the profits and losses resulting from the Commercialization of Ficlatuzumab and shall instead be entitled to the Opt-Out Royalty;

(vii) Biodesix shall have sole discretion over the continued conduct of the Development Plan and shall have the right to amend the Development Plan without oversight or approval of the JSC or AVEO; and

(viii) AVEO shall make the Existing Supply of Ficlatuzumab available to Biodesix for purposes of enabling Biodesix to complete the Development thereof at no charge, provided that any supply of Ficlatuzumab that is not Existing Supply of Ficlatuzumab shall be provided at a price of [**]% of AVEO’s Ficlatuzumab Cost of Goods therefor, pursuant to a supply agreement to be mutually agreed upon between the Parties upon such Opt-Out; provided further that AVEO shall have no obligation to supply Ficlatuzumab for longer than [**] months following the Opt-Out. At Biodesix’s request during such [**] month period and at Biodesix’s expense, AVEO shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide a technology transfer, including, if permitted by the terms thereof, the assignment of all AVEO Third Party Agreements requested by Biodesix, that enables Biodesix to continue the further Development and Commercialization of Ficlatuzumab in accordance with the Development Plan, this Agreement and/or the Commercialization Agreement. AVEO either has prior to the Effective Date or will following the Effective Date request from the counterparties to the AVEO Third Party Agreements amendments thereto or consents thereunder permitting assignments thereof to Biodesix in the circumstances described above, provided that (1) AVEO shall not be required to

EXECUTION VERSION

pay any consideration or grant any concessions in order to obtain any such amendments or consents and (2) AVEO shall have no liability to Biodesix if the counterparties to the AVEO Third Party Agreements do not grant such amendments or consents.

3.7. AVEO Covenants. AVEO shall not, and shall not engage with or otherwise make an arrangement with a Third Party to, copy, reproduce, modify or make derivative works of VeriStrat or VeriStrat Labels other than as required in connection with Developing, seeking Regulatory Approval for or Commercializing Ficlatuzumab in accordance with this Agreement. AVEO shall not, and shall not engage with or otherwise make an arrangement with a Third Party to, decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer VeriStrat, VeriStrat Labels or VeriStrat Results (including their mechanism of action, feature values, pre-processing steps, software or functionality), or aspects of Biodesix’s ProTS mass spectrometry analysis software or any portion thereof, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or other trade secrets embodied in VeriStrat, VeriStrat Labels or VeriStrat Results, or any aspects of Recipient’s ProTS mass spectrometry analysis software. For avoidance of doubt, AVEO shall not, and shall not engage with or otherwise make an arrangement with a Third Party to, use VeriStrat, VeriStrat Labels or VeriStrat Results, for purposes of (i) training, designing, developing, verifying or validating a classifier or test, including without limitation, a diagnostic test, companion diagnostic test, predictive test or prognostic test; (ii) correlating to biomarkers unless specifically set forth in the Development Plan; (iii) correlating to biomarkers in order to train, design, develop, verify or validate a classifier or test, including, without limitation, a diagnostic test, companion diagnostic test, predictive test or prognostic test; (iv) being used in a manner to compete with Biodesix; or (v) procedures not set forth in the Development Plan or related to the Development or Commercialization of Ficlatuzumab following an Opt-Out by Biodesix. Results of any unauthorized use of the VeriStrat Results, VeriStrat, VeriStrat Labels or Biodesix’s ProTS mass spectrometry analysis software or any portion thereof shall belong solely and entirely to Biodesix with no obligations of any kind to AVEO or any Third Party pursuant to any agreement with AVEO or any Third Party that obtains access to the VeriStrat Results, VeriStrat, VeriStrat Labels or Biodesix’s ProTS mass spectrometry analysis software or any portion thereof from AVEO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) AVEO shall have no liability for any Third Party’s independent activities in violation of the foregoing restrictions, and (y) AVEO and Biodesix may collaborate to perform translational work to identify a mechanism of action link between VeriStrat and Ficlatuzumab and/or to compare and correlate the effectiveness of biomarkers.

In addition, during the Profit Sharing Phase:

(a) VeriStrat will be used as a selection assay with respect to Ficlatuzumab for the NSCLC POC Trial indication and will be the focus of a co-development BLA and PMA approval assuming that the NSCLC POC Trial using VeriStrat as a selection assay are positive (i.e., primary endpoints met), provided that an EGFR mutation assay may also be used and be required for Development for such indication. In addition, AVEO may use other assays solely for data in support of research, BLA application and drug marketing;

(b) For clinical trial activities occurring after the NSCLC POC Trial, Biodesix shall have the right, at Biodesix’s cost, to analyze any Ficlatuzumab clinical trial samples with VeriStrat or Biodesix technology.

EXECUTION VERSION

(c) The JSC shall have final decision-making authority on any further Companion Diagnostic Development of VeriStrat in connection with Ficlatuzumab as well as other diagnostic tests and/or biomarkers which may be useful for Ficlatuzumab, with the understanding that the JSC will make decisions based on the totality of the data and scientific evidence, with the intent to optimize the value of Ficlatuzumab; provided, however, that, during the Profit Sharing Phase, the JSC shall give Biodesix the first opportunity (which opportunity may be provided through Biodesix’s participation in JSC deliberations), on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis, to develop and/or supply any and all diagnostic tests and/or biomarkers determined by the JSC to be useful for Ficlatuzumab, to the extent such development and/or supply is consistent with optimizing the value of Ficlatuzumab. For clarity, the Parties agree that such deliberations shall be biased in favor of Biodesix in the event that any non-Biodesix test also under consideration by the JSC is approximately equal in its potential to maximize the value of Ficlatuzumab to the potential offered by such Biodesix-test, provided that, the JSC’s decisions as to whether or not to permit Biodesix to provide any such development and/or supply shall be based on the JSC’s determination of whether or not such development and/or supply by Biodesix would be consistent with optimizing the value of Ficlatuzumab; and

(d) AVEO will notify Biodesix of any amendments to the AVEO Third-Party Agreements, including any amendments entered into after delivery of an Opt-Out Notice by AVEO.

ARTICLE IV - LICENSING AND LICENSE REVENUE SHARING

4.1. General. If either Party receives any communication from a Third-Party that inquires about licensing rights to Ficlatuzumab, the receiving Party shall promptly notify the other Party. Subject to the approval of the JSC, the Parties may determine to license rights to one or more Third Parties for the Development and/or Commercialization of Ficlatuzumab in one or more countries, provided that, if a Party has Opted-Out pursuant to Section 3.5(c), the other Party shall have sole decision-making authority over any such licensing of Development and/or Commercialization rights. Provided that AVEO has not exercised its Opt-Out right, AVEO shall lead and control the negotiations of any agreement with any Licensee and keep Biodesix reasonably informed as to the status thereof. In the event AVEO has exercised its Opt-Out, Biodesix will lead and control the negotiations of any agreement with any Licensee and keep AVEO reasonably informed as to the status thereof. Each such license must be pursuant to a written agreement with AVEO or Biodesix, as the case may be, which written agreement shall be expressly approved by the JSC (except during the Opt-Out Phase), and the other Party shall grant such rights and licenses as may be reasonably necessary to enable the contracting Party to enter into such license agreement. Each Party shall provide to the other Party a copy of any such written agreement it may enter into, provided that such copy shall constitute the Confidential Information of the providing Party.

4.2. Scope. The parties acknowledge that research agreements, clinical study agreements, investigator initiated studies, service agreements, manufacturing agreements, distribution agreements, promotion agreements and the like may contain a limited express or implied license to perform the research, study, services or other activities that are the subject of said agreement. If the counterparty to any such agreement does not receive the right to Develop and/or Commercialize Ficlatuzumab other than as a service provider or distributor for or on

EXECUTION VERSION

behalf of a Party, then (i) such agreement does not constitute a license agreement for which JSC approval is required under Section 4.1 and (ii) amounts received in connection with such agreement do not constitute License Income hereunder.

4.3. License Income.

EXECUTION VERSION

(or its Affiliates) to timely complete its obligations under the VeriStrat Development Plan, except to the extent that (a) such failure or delay is caused by a delay or failure of performance by AVEO or a contract manufacturer, or (b) as may otherwise be mutually agreed in writing by the Parties.

7.2. Modifications to VeriStrat Development Plan. The Parties acknowledge that the initial Development Plan does not set forth all material activities, timelines, obligations and specifications necessary for the execution of the VeriStrat Development Plan, and further acknowledge that requests from Regulatory Authorities may necessitate modifications to the VeriStrat Development Plan. The Parties agree that, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the initial VeriStrat Development Plan will be modified and made more comprehensive pursuant to approval by the JSC, with the understanding that the VeriStrat Development Plan shall meet the applicable regulatory criteria as required by the Regulatory Authorities for approval of an IVD in the US e.g., FDA Drug and BLA requirements /CDx IVD requirements) and in the other Major Markets. Thereafter, as may be necessary from time-to-time, whether due to Regulatory Authority requests or otherwise, the JSC shall review proposed revisions to the VeriStrat Development Plan. If the JSC approves such revisions, then the JSC shall revise the VeriStrat Development Plan accordingly without need for amending this Agreement. The Parties shall not unreasonably withhold their consent to appropriate VeriStrat Development Plan revisions. The revised VeriStrat Development Plan shall thereafter be the VeriStrat Development Plan for all purposes of this Agreement.

7.4. Use of VeriStrat. Biodesix shall perform testing of Clinical Specimens using VeriStrat as needed for the conduct of the Development Plan at no charge, provided that, upon Regulatory Approval of Ficlatuzumab in any jurisdiction for which Biodesix has not obtained third-party payor reimbursement from the primary reimbursement authority in the applicable jurisdiction, and subject to the entry by the Parties into the Commercialization Agreement, AVEO shall (provided in each case that Biodesix has not received payment from or on behalf of the patient) reimburse Biodesix for each VeriStrat test performed in such jurisdiction for purposes of screening a patient for potential commercial use of Ficlatuzumab as follows:

(a) AVEO shall provide reimbursement in the amount of: (i) [**]% of the VeriStrat Cost of Goods if Biodesix has not submitted an application to the primary reimbursement authority in such jurisdiction, provided that, in no case shall such reimbursement obligation exceed $[**] per test; or (ii) $[**] per test if Biodesix has submitted such an application but has not obtained any such reimbursement approval, in either case such obligation to reimburse Biodesix not to exceed a period of [**] from First Commercial Sale in such jurisdiction, provided that the Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to modify such reimbursement structure, in all cases in a manner that is fully consistent with all applicable laws and regulations, on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis as and to the extent needed to comply with the regulatory requirements of such jurisdiction while continuing to compensate Biodesix for its commercial performance of VeriStrat consistent with the amount set forth herein. Biodesix shall

EXECUTION VERSION

invoice AVEO the foregoing amounts on a calendar quarter basis for the VeriStrat tests performed during each such calendar quarter then ended. AVEO shall remit payment for each such invoice within [**] days of receipt.

(b) The mechanism for tracking the number of VeriStrat tests performed in any jurisdiction for purposes of screening patients for potential commercial use of Ficlatuzumab and payment by AVEO to Biodesix therefor, as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, shall be included in the Commercialization Agreement, where such mechanism may include: (i) information from VeriStrat order forms specifying the intention to test for the purpose of assessing Ficlatuzumab treatment candidacy, (ii) third party sources tracking Ficlatuzumab prescriptions such as IMS Health, and (iii) appropriate assumptions regarding the ratio of VeriStrat testing and Ficlatuzumab prescriptions, provided that any such mechanism shall in each case be determined so as to fully comply with applicable laws and regulations and the regulatory requirements of such jurisdiction while continuing to compensate for the commercial performance of VeriStrat consistent with the amount set forth herein.

(c) The Commercialization Agreement shall also include a periodic right for each Party to audit the other to ensure the accuracy of such tracking mechanism. If the Parties disagree regarding such number for any jurisdiction, then the Parties shall engage a qualified independent third party to determine the number of VeriStrat tests performed in such jurisdiction for purposes of screening patients for potential use of Ficlatuzumab during the time period that is the subject of the disagreement.

The Indemnifying Party managing the defense shall not be liable for any litigation cost or expense incurred, without its consent, by the Indemnified Party (or an Indemnifying Party not managing the defense) where the action or proceeding is under the control of such Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party managing the defense fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party managing the defense will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment against an Indemnified Party arising from any such Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief from the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement that commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action.

15.5. Headings. Headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Agreement.

15.6. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction because it is invalid or conflicts with any Law of any relevant jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. In such event, the Parties shall negotiate a substitute provision that, to the extent possible, accomplishes the original business purpose.

15.7. Registration and Filing of the Agreement. To the extent a Party determines in good faith that it is required by applicable Law to publicly file, register or notify this Agreement with a Regulatory Authority, including public filings pursuant to securities Laws, it shall provide the proposed redacted form of the Agreement to the other Party a reasonable amount of time prior to filing for the other Party to review such draft and propose changes to such proposed redactions. The Party making such filing, registration or notification shall incorporate any proposed changes timely requested by the other Party, absent a substantial reason to the contrary, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for any terms that the other Party timely requests be kept confidential, to the extent such confidential treatment is reasonably available consistent with applicable Law. Each Party shall be responsible for its own legal and other external costs in connection with any such filing, registration or notification.

15.8. Assignment; Change of Control.

Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred by any Party without the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any Party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement: (a) in whole or in part to any of its respective Affiliates; provided that such Party shall remain primarily liable in respect of all obligations so assigned and such Affiliate has

EXECUTION VERSION

acknowledged and confirmed in writing that effective as of such assignment or other transfer, such Affiliate shall be bound by this Agreement as if it were a party to it as and to the identical extent applicable to the transferor; or (b) to any successor in interest by way of a Change of Control, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of its assets relating to the subject matter of this Agreement (where any such transaction shall constitute an attempted assignment of this Agreement) provided that (1) such Party shall remain primarily liable in respect of all obligations so assigned and such successor has acknowledged and confirmed in writing that effective as of such assignment or other transfer, such successor shall be bound by this Agreement as if it were a party to it as and to the identical extent applicable to the transferor; (2) such successor agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were the assigning party and (3) such successor agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of Section 15.8(b). Upon a Change of Control of either Party and upon an assignment of this Agreement in its entirety by either Party, the Party or the assignee, as the case may be, agrees to: (a) use Commercially Reasonable efforts to satisfy the Development or Commercialization timeline (e.g., XXXX chart) then approved by the JSC and in effect; and (b) use no less effort in the performance of the Party’s or the assigning Party’s, as applicable, obligations hereunder than the Party or the assigning Party, as applicable, was itself using prior to such transaction.

In addition, any purported assignment in violation of this Section 15.8 shall be void. Any permitted assignee shall assume all assigned obligations of its assignor under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Party to this Agreement is acquired or otherwise becomes directly or indirectly “controlled” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 1.1) by one or more entities that were not Affiliates of such Party as of the Effective Date, the Know-How and Patent Rights of such acquiring or otherwise controlling entity(-ies) shall not be subject to the rights and licenses granted to the other Party under this Agreement, except to the extent such acquiring or otherwise controlling entity(-ies) participate in activities pursuant to this Agreement, in which case the Know-How and Patent Rights that such entity(-ies) generate in the conduct of such activities shall be subject to the rights and licenses granted to the other Party under this Agreement.

SUMMARY OF TERMS OF COMMERCIALIZATION AGREEMENT


Ficlatuzumab Commercialization during the Profit-Sharing Phase		AVEO shall be the lead commercialization party, including being responsible for medical affairs, reimbursement services, pricing, general product supply and distribution, selection of service providers, sales operations, and training and marketing; provided that, the Joint Commercialization Committee will agree on all material decisions relating thereto. AVEO shall book sales of Ficlatuzumab worldwide. Commercial budgets and allocation of activities shall be jointly agreed to by the Joint Commercialization Committee, with the understanding that Biodesix and AVEO shall each have the right to co-promote Ficlatuzumab and provide up to 50% of the requisite sales efforts.
Veristrat Commercialization		Except following an Opt-Out by AVEO, (a) Biodesix shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize VeriStrat as a companion diagnostic for Ficlatuzumab in each of the Major Market jurisdictions, in each case on a timeline that is consistent with the timeline for Commercialization activities for Ficlatuzumab in such jurisdiction, (b) Biodesix shall continue to make VeriStrat commercially available in each such jurisdiction for so long as Ficlatuzumab is made available in such jurisdiction, (c) subject to applicable law in the relevant jurisdiction, Biodesix shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to adopt a pricing strategy for VeriStrat that does not adversely affect the uptake of Ficlatuzumab in such jurisdiction and (d) Biodesix shall use Commercially Reasonably Efforts to obtain third-party payor reimbursement approval (which, in the United States, shall be deemed to include Medicare reimbursement) in each such jurisdiction as soon as it is eligible to do so. Except following an Opt-Out by AVEO, the terms and conditions of Section 7.4 of the Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference thereto.
Profit Sharing during the Profit-Sharing Phase		AVEO and Biodesix shall share the profits and losses resulting from commercialization of Ficlatuzumab by AVEO and Biodesix worldwide on a 50/50 basis, it being understood that (without limitation) all: (i) inventory build-up and costs associated with launch preparation, (ii) amounts paid to third parties, including for the licensing of intellectual property and/or infringement liability (including pursuant to the AVEO Third Party Agreements), (iii) intellectual property registration, prosecution and maintenance expenses, (iv) recall and product liability costs, (v) manufacturing and supply costs, (vi) sales force and promotional costs, (vii) distribution costs, (viii) regulatory affairs and pharmacovigilance costs, (ix) medical affairs and medical science liaison costs, and (x) costs of post-approval clinical studies (e.g., phase IIIb and

phase IV studies), which are incurred subsequent to the Effective Date and related to sale of Ficlatuzumab shall be treated as expenses in calculating such profits and losses. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing expenses shall include both internal and external expenses. The JSC will oversee all budgets for commercial expenses, including manufacturing and supply and sales force and promotional budgets.

Opt-Out

If either party exercises its Opt-Out right as permitted in the Agreement, then the Opt-Out party shall not be responsible for sharing, or have the right to share, in profits and losses, in which event (i) the other party can elect to proceed without the Opt-Out party’s participation and have sole decision making authority over the commercialization of Ficlatuzumab, (ii) the Opt-Out party will receive the Opt-Out Royalty, which shall be a royalty of [**]% of net sales of Ficlatuzumab made by the non-Opt-Out party or its Affiliates (which net sales shall not include License Income), using a net sales definition that is typical in therapeutic product licensing agreements and (iii) if AVEO is the Opt-Out Party, AVEO shall have no further obligation pursuant to the Agreement except for obligations under Section 7.4 which accrued prior to the effective date of such Opt-Out. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if: (a) Ficlatuzumab becomes subject to Follow-On Biologic Competition in a country during the applicable royalty period in such country; (b) all Patent Rights covering Ficlatuzumab in such country have expired; (c) all regulatory exclusivity for Ficlatuzumab in such country has expired; (d) there is a [**]% minimum threshold of market penetration by the follow-on biologic product(s); and (e) where such Follow-On Biologic Competition is otherwise not the result of entry authorized by either Party (whether acting individually or collectively under the JSC), then the foregoing royalty on net sales shall be converted to a [**] percent ([**]%) royalty on net profits of Ficlatuzumab for the balance of the royalty term then remaining in such country. “Follow-On Biologic Competition” shall mean, with respect to a given country, the commercial availability of a Third Party product that: (x) contains an Antibody having an identical or substantially identical amino acid sequence to Ficlatuzumab; and (y) has received regulatory approval for use in such country through any current or future regulatory approval process by which the sponsor or the regulatory agency relies, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, upon the data supporting Ficlatuzumab.

All license fees, royalties and milestone payments owed to Third Parties, including pursuant to the AVEO Third Party Agreements, shall serve to reduce the net sales figure to which the Opt-Out Royalty is applied. In the event that AVEO is the Opt-Out Party, Biodesix shall assume all obligations to pay such license fees, royalties and milestone payments owed to Third Parties, including pursuant to the AVEO Third Party Agreements, based on Biodesix’s Development, manufacture and Commercialization of Ficlatuzumab following such Opt-Out.


	In the event that AVEO is the Opt-Out Party, AVEO agrees to provide Ficlatuzumab and provide a manufacturing tech transfer pursuant to Section 3.6(b)(viii) of the Co-Development Agreement. The Opt-Out Royalty would be payable, if Biodesix is the Opt-Out Party, for so long as Ficlatuzumab is marketed by the non-Opt-Out Party or its successors or assigns in any jurisdiction in the Territory and, if AVEO is the Opt-Out Party, for so long as, on a country-by-country basis, any patent or patent application within the AVEO Patent Rights, Biodesix Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights or any applicable regulatory exclusivity covers the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or importation of Ficlatuzumab in the applicable country. Following an Opt-Out by Biodesix, the obligations of Biodesix under “VeriStrat Commercialization” above shall continue. The parties recognize that in order to give effect to the foregoing Opt-Out rights, the parties will need to include customary licensing terms in the Commercialization Agreement. In addition, if an Opt-Out occurs prior to the negotiation of the Commercialization Agreement, the parties recognize that the Commercialization Agreement would be negotiated to include such licensing terms, but would not include the profit and loss sharing and other terms that become inapplicable due to such Opt-Out.

Joint Commercialization Committee during the Profit-Sharing Phase	•	Oversees commercialization efforts, including development of commercialization plans and budgets for the JSC’s approval.
	•	Reports to JSC, with disputes escalated for resolution by the JSC as described in the Co-Development Agreement.
	•	Would not (nor would the JSC) have oversight of commercialization after an Opt-Out.
Diligence during the Profit-Sharing Phase	The Commercialization Agreement will include an obligation for the parties to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commercialize Ficlatuzumab and to perform their obligations pursuant to the agreed commercialization plans and budgets.

PRESS RELEASE

AVEO and Biodesix Partner to Co-Develop and Commercialize

Ficlatuzumab with a Companion Diagnostic for Treatment of NSCLC

Biodesix to Fund Proof of Concept Study

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and BOULDER, Colo. — April 10, 2014 — AVEO Oncology (NASDAQ: AVEO) and Biodesix, Inc. today announced that they have entered into a worldwide agreement to develop and commercialize AVEO’s hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) inhibitory antibody ficlatuzumab, with a Biodesix^® companion diagnostic test. This agreement and the clinical development program will leverage VeriStrat^®, a serum protein test that is commercially available to help physicians guide treatment decisions for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). VeriStrat will be used as the selection assay to identify NSCLC patients most likely to benefit from ficlatuzumab.

An exploratory analysis from AVEO’s Phase 2 study in first-line NSCLC suggested that VeriStrat was prognostic for outcome in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI)-treated patients and predicted differential treatment benefit for the combination of ficlatuzumab plus TKI over TKI alone. The predictive effect was observed in both progression-free survival and overall survival endpoints.

Under the terms of the agreement, AVEO will conduct a proof of concept study of ficlatuzumab in combination with erlotinib in advanced NSCLC patients selected using the VeriStrat test. Biodesix will fund up to $15 million of the cost of the study. The companies expect to initiate this clinical study later this year. Any additional development, regulatory and commercial costs for ficlatuzumab beyond the proof of concept study will be shared equally as will any potential profits. Subject to regulatory approval, AVEO will lead worldwide commercialization of ficlatuzumab. Biodesix will be responsible for all development, including FDA engagement activities, sales and marketing costs for VeriStrat, and will retain total revenues for sales of VeriStrat.

“We are pleased to initiate this collaboration with AVEO,” said Xxxxx Xxxxxx, chief executive officer of Biodesix. “Ficlatuzumab is targeting an oncogenic pathway that we believe may be important in certain patient subsets. By leveraging our multiplexed platform and advanced analytics, we hope to identify those patients who gain substantial benefit from ficlatuzumab. We believe our initial work with AVEO is very encouraging.”

“This agreement accomplishes a key strategic objective of advancing our pipeline assets through external collaborations and funding,” stated Xxxx Xx-Xxxx, president and chief executive officer of AVEO. “The exploratory analysis suggests that Biodesix’ novel diagnostic test may help define patient populations that can benefit from treatment with ficlatuzumab. We believe this type of innovative partnership between a therapeutic and a molecular diagnostic company is important to advancing personalized medicine.”

About Ficlatuzumab

Ficlatuzumab is a humanized IgG1K antibody that binds to the HGF ligand with high affinity and specificity to inhibit the biological activities of the HGF/c-Met pathway. Studies have demonstrated that ficlatuzumab is well tolerated as a single agent as well as in combination with EGFR TKIs.

About the HGF/c-Met Pathway

HGF is the sole ligand that binds to and activates a receptor called c-Met. Activation of the HGF/c-Met pathway is believed to be important in normal processes in embryonic development and wound healing, but its dysregulation is believed to play a role in cancer development, metastasis and drug resistance. HGF/c-Met has also been shown to be one of the most potent drivers of tumor growth in AVEO’s Human Response Platform™.

HGF/c-Met over-expression is observed in many solid tumors including breast, colorectal, gastric, head and neck, lung and prostate, as well as hematologic malignancies. Additionally, c-Met and EGFR are frequently co-amplified and co-expressed in a variety of tumor types; HGF/c-Met pathway up-regulation can render resistance to EGFR-targeted therapies, and vice-versa. HGF has also been shown to be one of the most potent growth factors that can drive resistance to a panel of anti-cancer therapies.

About VeriStrat

VeriStrat is a multivariate, blood-based, protein test currently available to help physicians guide treatment decisions for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The test identifies patients who are likely to have good or poor outcomes after treatment with either epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) therapy such as erlotinib or with chemotherapy. VeriStrat is based on Biodesix’ proprietary proteomics platform which enables the discovery of multivariate classifiers that characterize a patient’s condition or likely outcome in response to therapy. xxx.XxxxXxxxxXxxxxxx.xxx
