Each Party shall reimburse the other Party according to this algorithm upon due invoice and upon due reporting by analogy to Article 5.6. Furthermore, Article 5.9 and 5.10 shall apply by analogy. If an enforcing Party recovers monetary damages in claims, suits or action during the enforcement of Prometheus Technology or the Xxxx Technology according to Article 6.4, such recovery will be shared according to the following algorithm: [***] ([***]%) of such recovery to Xxxx and [***] ([***]%) of such recovery to Prometheus. For the avoidance of doubt: in the event of a Third Party Claim any damages, costs of other financial burdens owed to the respective Third Party shall be deemed reasonable Out-of-Pocket Costs. In any case Article 9 shall remain unaffected.

11.2 Termination.

(a) Termination by Xxxx. In addition to the rights of termination provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, Xxxx shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, unilaterally and without cause, by written notice to Prometheus at any point in time without further compensation or penalty upon [***] months’ prior written notice to Prometheus, provided that where Prometheus incurs costs related specifically and solely to Xxxx’x Development for or Commercialization in the Xxxx Territory or costs related specifically and solely to the manufacture

of Licensed Compound or Product specifically and solely for the Xxxx Territory, Prometheus shall provide Xxxx with an appropriate invoice for such costs and Xxxx shall pay Prometheus and Article 4.3 shall apply in this case. During the [***] period set forth in this Article 11.2(a), Xxxx will work with Prometheus to ensure a smooth transition and winding down of any work or activities under the Development Plan and this Agreement.

(b) Termination due to Regulatory Authority Action or Compelling Reason. In addition to the rights of termination provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, a Party shall be entitled forthwith to unilaterally terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party if: (i) Regulatory Approval for a Product is terminated or suspended in a Key Country, (ii) a Regulatory Authority directs or requests discontinuance of Development, manufacturing or Commercialization of the Licensed Compound or a Product in a Key Country for a period in excess of [***] ([***]) months, or (iii) after review and consultation with qualified scientific, technical and clinical experts, the continuing Development, manufacturing, or Commercialization of the Licensed Compound or a Product is no longer scientifically viable or clinically sound. As long as Regulatory Approval for a Product is terminated or suspended in a Key Country or a Regulatory Authority directs or requests discontinuance of Development, manufacturing or Commercialization of the Licensed Compound or a Product in a Key Country, the affected Party’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to Development, manufacturing or Commercialization of the Licensed Compound or a Product are suspended. For clarity, in the event of termination under this Article 11.2(b), Article 8 and Article 9 shall remain unaffected.

(c) Effect of Termination under Article 11.2. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Xxxx pursuant to Article 11.1(a) or by a Party pursuant to Article 11.2(b), all licenses granted to the terminating Party under this Agreement shall cease and be automatically assigned and transferred for the remainder of the Term and thereafter to the other Party, as applicable, and the other Party shall have access to the terminating Party´s Technology. The terminating Party shall cease to make any use of the other Party’s Technology. To the extent that the other Party elects to Develop, manufacture, or Commercialize the Licensed Compound or a Product in the Field in the terminating Party´s Territory Article 5.4 or 5.5, as applicable, shall apply accordingly, i.e., in the event Prometheus is the terminating Party, then Xxxx shall continue to pay royalties according to Article 5.4 and in the event Xxxx is the terminating Party then Prometheus shall continue to pay royalties according to Article 5.5. In the event a Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to 11.2(b), the obligation of that Party to co-funding Development according to Article 5.2 shall also be terminated, provided that any costs incurred at the time of such termination shall be shared. The terminating Party shall, at its own cost and as subject to any requirements of applicable Law, at no additional charge and at the other Party´s request provide the other Party with Regulatory Materials, a full and accurate copy of all study reports, data, including safety data, results, findings and other information generated by or on behalf of, or owned and controlled by the terminating Party (including any patient data) in connection with the Program or otherwise under this Agreement, along with the right to access and use such data without obtaining any additional consents.

(d) Option to Purchase the other Party´s Technology. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 11.3(a) or Article 11.3(b), the terminating Party shall have at the option to purchase from the other Party the other Party´s ownership share of any jointly-owned Prometheus Technology or Xxxx Technology, as applicable, at a fair market value price to be either

(i) negotiated and determined in good faith by the Parties within [***] ([***]) Business Days following the receipt of the other Party´s notice of the exercise of such option by the terminating Party or, after such [***] ([***]) Business Days, (ii) determined by a neutral arbitrator or otherwise independent third party in accordance with Article 12.1. The notice of the exercise of such option must be made in writing. The terminating Party´s ownership share of any jointly-owned Prometheus Technology and Xxxx Technology shall be assigned and transferred automatically at the receipt of the other Party´s written notice of the exercise of such option by the terminating Party without any further action and the other Party´s obligation to pay royalties shall cease and Article 6.1(c) shall apply accordingly. The terminating Party shall pay the price for the other Party´s ownership share of any jointly-owned Prometheus Technology and Xxxx Technology as determined by either the Parties or by a neutral arbitrator or otherwise independent third party in accordance with Article 12.1 within [***] ([***]) Business Days following such determination.

11.3 Termination due to Breach or Bankruptcy. In addition to the rights of termination provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, a Party will be entitled forthwith to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party due to breach or bankruptcy subject to the following provisions:

(a) Breach. A Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) will be entitled forthwith to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party if the other Party commits any material breach of any of the obligations and provisions of this Agreement (the “Breaching Party”), and in the case of a breach capable of cure or remedy, fails to cure or remedy such breach within [***] days after receipt of a written notice sent by the Non-Breaching Party providing details of the breach in reasonable detail and requiring it to be remedied (the “Default Notice”) or within [***] ([***]) days after receipt of such Default Notice if such material breach is solely based on the Breaching Party’s failure to pay any amounts due hereunder. For the purposes of this Article 11.3(a), a breach will be considered capable of cure or remedy if the Party in breach can comply with the provision in question in all respects other than as to the time of performance (provided that time of performance is not of the essence). If a Party provides a Default Notice to the Breaching Party pursuant to this Article 11.3(a) as a result of a material breach (or alleged material breach) by the Breaching Party and, on or before the end of the cure period therefor, either Party has referred the matter to arbitration pursuant to Article 12.1, in either case where the Breaching Party is in good faith disputing such basis for termination pursuant to this Article 11.3(a), then (i) such cure period will be suspended and (ii) this Agreement will not terminate, unless and until such senior executives resolve the dispute or the arbitrator issues a final ruling or award upholding such basis for termination (or unless and until the Breaching Party is no longer disputing such basis in good faith, if earlier). If the arbitrator issues a final ruling or award upholding such basis for termination, then the cure period will resume, and the Breaching Party will have the remainder of the cure period to cure the material breach. If the material breach is so cured within the remainder of the cure period, then this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, otherwise this Agreement will terminate. If the arbitrator issues a final ruling rejecting such basis for termination, then this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

(b) Bankruptcy of the other Party. A Party will be entitled forthwith to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party if the other Party goes into liquidation (including bankruptcy but except for liquidations outside bankruptcies for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction and in such manner that the company resulting therefrom effectively agrees to be bound by or assume the obligations imposed on that other Party under this Agreement, to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder).

(c) Effect of Termination due to Breach or Bankruptcy. In the event of a termination of this Agreement by a Party pursuant to either Article 11.3(a) or Article 11.3(b), all licenses and other rights of the terminating Party granted under this Agreement shall be maintained and automatically extended as may be required to continue to Develop, manufacture and Commercialize Licensed Compound and Products in the Territory for the remainder of the Term and thereafter. Any licenses hereunder granted to the Breaching Party or the Party involved in liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings, as applicable, shall terminate upon the effective date of termination and the Breaching Party or the Party involved in liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings, as applicable, shall cease to make any use of the Prometheus Technology and the Xxxx Technology as of such date. The obligation of each Party to the co-funding of the Development according to Article 5.2 as well as Article 8 and Article 9 shall remain unaffected. At the request of the terminating Party, the Breaching Party or the Party involved in liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings, as applicable, shall promptly transfer to the terminating Party all Regulatory Materials, study reports, data, including safety data, results, findings and other information generated under the Agreement and transfer all of the rights, title and interest to any Intellectual Property (to the extent not already assigned) that is necessary or desirable to continue Development, manufacturing or Commercialization of the Licensed Compound and of Products. With regard to royalties and milestone payments under Article 5, the obligations of the Party that terminates this Agreement per Article 11.3(a) or Article 11.3(b) shall survive termination and only terminate upon expiration of the Term, however, any such royalties or milestone payments shall be placed in a joint escrow account until damages (if any) which may be payable by the other Party to the terminating Party arising from Article 8 or Article 9 are determined and, if applicable, offset. Any royalties or other payments due and payable to the other Party by the terminating Party may be offset by any such damages, if applicable. Xxxx shall, in accordance with this Article 11.3(c) and Article 8.3, be permitted to offset any fees and payments paid by Xxxx to ATX pursuant to the subsequent License Agreement with ATX as contemplated in the side letter agreement between Xxxx and ATX set forth in Exhibit C and Xxxx shall be permitted to offset any fees and payments due to CSMC and any consulting fees due to the CSMC Inventors pursuant to the subsequent Exclusive License Agreement with CSMC and the subsequent Consulting Agreements with the CSMC Inventors as contemplated in the side letter agreement set forth in Exhibit E. As far as the terminating Party elects to Develop, manufacture, or Commercialize the Licensed Compound or a Product in the Field in the other Party´s Territory Article 5.4 or 5.5, as applicable, shall apply accordingly, i.e., in the event Xxxx is the terminating Party then Xxxx shall pay royalties according to Article 5.4 and in the event Prometheus is the terminating Party then Prometheus shall pay royalties according to Article 5.5.

11.4 Survival. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement obligations and rights of a Party that expressly or by nature shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. In particular, termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that have accrued before the date of termination or expiration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in particular the following provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Article 4.9 (Pharmacovigilance), Article 5 (Compensation), Article 6 (Intellectual Property), Article 9 (Indemnification), Article 10 (Confidentiality), Article 11 (Term and Termination), Article 12 (Dispute Resolution) and Article 13 (Miscellaneous).

ARTICLE 12

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

12.1 Arbitration. In the event of any disputes, controversies or differences between the Parties (except for disputes arising from the JSC, which will be handled pursuant to Article 11.2 and only handled pursuant to this Article 12.1 as provided in Article 12.2), arising out of, in relation to, or in connection with this Agreement, including any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or any issue relating to the validity, construction, interpretation, enforceability, breach, performance, application, or termination of this Agreement a (“Dispute”), then upon the written request of either Party, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith an amicable resolution thereof, which good faith efforts include at least [***] in-person meeting between the Executive Officers of each Party. If the Dispute is not resolved within [***] ([***]) days following the written request for amicable resolution, then either Party may then initiate arbitration under this Article 11.1. Any Dispute that the Parties do not resolve through amicable resolution will be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) under the ICC Rules of Arbitration by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules. The language of the arbitration will be English, and the Parties agree that the place of such arbitration shall be London, England in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Except as may be required by law, neither Party may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

12.2 JSC Disputes. With respect to disputes arising from matters delegated or referred to the JSC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall have the right, at any time after good faith efforts have failed to resolve a deadlock of the JSC, to request review of such matter by an Executive Officer of each of the Parties (“Executive Review”). A Party shall exercise its right to request Executive Review by providing a written notice to the other Party. The Executive Officers of each Party shall meet within [***] ([***]) days of the day such notice is delivered to the Parties, and shall engage in good faith efforts to resolve the deadlock. Within [***] ([***]) days of such meeting, the Executive Officers shall provide notice to the Parties stating whether they have been able to resolve the deadlock, and the nature of their decision if they have resolved the deadlock. Any such decision shall be binding on the Parties and the JSC.

12.3 Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding Articles 11.1 and 11.2, each Party acknowledges that its breach of Article 9 may cause irreparable harm to the other Party, which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in an action at law. By reason thereof, each Party agrees that the other Party may, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, seek preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or curtail any actual or threatened breach of Article 9 that is reasonably likely to cause it irreparable harm. In addition, notwithstanding Articles 11.1 and 11.2, to the fullest extent provided by Law, either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) to protect a Party’s rights or enforce a Party’s obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any claims related thereto pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Article 11.1.

12.4 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof are governed by and construed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different country.

12.5 Patent and Trademark Disputes. Notwithstanding Article 12.1, any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patent or trademark rights covering the manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of Product will be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such Patent or trademark rights were granted or arose.

ARTICLE 13

This Agreement, including any Exhibits hereto, and any other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto and thereto and their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement other than as are set forth in this Agreement and the Development Plan. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement will be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party.

13.2 Force Majeure.

(each such event, a “Force Majeure Event”). A Party whose performance is affected by a Force Majeure Event shall give the other Party prompt notice of the occurrence of such event, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to remove the cause of such event and to resume performance hereunder.

13.4 No Strict Construction; Interpretation; Headings. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular includes the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender applies to all genders. The word “or” is used in the disjunctive sense and the word and is used in the conjunctive sense. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, unless otherwise specified, such number refers to days. The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend, or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement. The term “including,” “include,” or “includes” means including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term. Unless the context requires otherwise, (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document will be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein or therein), (ii) any reference to any applicable Laws will be construed as referring to such Laws as from time to time enacted, repealed or amended, (iii) any reference to any person will be construed to include the person’s successors and permitted assigns, (iv) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, will be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (v) any reference to the words “mutually agree” or “mutual written agreement” will not impose any obligation on either Party to agree to any terms relating thereto or to engage in discussions relating to such terms except as such Party may determine in such Party’s sole discretion, (vi) all references to Articles or Exhibits will be construed to refer to Articles and Exhibits to this Agreement, (vii) the word “days” means calendar days unless otherwise specified, and (viii) the words “copy” and “copies” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement include, to the extent available, electronic copies, files or

databases containing the information, files, items, documents or materials to which such words apply. The headings of each Article and Article in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Article. Each Party represents that it has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting hereof. In interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that no presumption will apply against the Party which drafted such terms and provisions.

13.5 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence also applies to a Party´s ownership share of any jointly-owned Prometheus Technology and Xxxx Technology and also applies to an assignment or transfer to an Affiliate of a Party. Any successor or assignee of rights or obligations permitted hereunder will, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights or obligations. Any permitted assignment will be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Article 13.5 is null, void and of no legal effect. This Article 13.5 does not apply to share deals regarding the transfer of shares of a Party and this Agreement does not contain a clause regarding a change of control.

13.6 Severability. Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement will be severable, and the unenforceability of one will not affect the enforceability of any others or of the remainder of this Agreement. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith with a view to the substitution therefor of a suitable and equitable solution to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid provision; provided, however, that the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the Parties hereto will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

13.7 No Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver will be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver, delay or the failure of any Party to enforce or exercise any term, condition or part of this Agreement at any time or in any one or more instances will not be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term, condition or part, nor will it forfeit any rights, power or privilege to future enforcement thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement. Except as expressly

set forth in this Agreement, all rights and remedies available to a Party, whether under this Agreement or afforded by Law or otherwise, will be cumulative and not in the alternative to any other rights or remedies that may be available to such Party.

13.8 Relationship of the Parties. Neither Party will have any responsibility for the hiring, termination or compensation of the other Party’s employees or for any employee benefits of such employee. No employee or representative of a Party will have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement for any sum or in any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party without said Party’s approval. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement gives either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way. This Agreement is not a partnership agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to establish a relationship of partners or joint ventures between the Parties. The relationship between Xxxx and Prometheus does not constitute a partnership, joint venture, or agency. Neither Xxxx nor Prometheus shall make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action that is binding on the other, without the prior consent of the other Party to do so.

13.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which is an original, but all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. Each Party may execute this Agreement by facsimile transmission or in Adobe^TM Portable Document Format (“PDF”) sent by electronic mail. In addition, facsimile or PDF signatures of authorized signatories of any Party will be deemed to be original signatures and will be valid and binding, and delivery of a facsimile or PDF signature by any Party will constitute due execution and delivery of this Agreement.

13.10 Expenses. Each of the Parties will bear its own direct and indirect expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and, except as set forth in this Agreement, the performance of the obligations contemplated hereby and thereby.
