Xxxxxxx, upon authorization by the […***…], grants Company an exclusive option, exercisable by notice from Company to Xxxxxxx at any time hereunder during the term of the […***…] License, to be granted authorization or a non-exclusive sublicense, under the Patent Rights then Controlled by Xxxxxxx under the […***…] License, solely for purposes of exercising any rights granted to Company under Section 2.1(a) above, provided that Company agrees to and shall assume all responsibility for making all payments that become due to Xxxxxxx’x licensor under the […***…] License on account of any activities by Company or any Company Sublicensees in exercise of its sublicense rights under the […***…] License. Promptly after Company exercises such option, the Parties shall negotiate and execute a written sublicense agreement documenting the grant of sublicense rights under the […***…] License to Company and Company’s payment obligations as provided above. For clarification, this Section 2.1(c) does not limit Xxxxxxx’x right to grant to any Third Party an option to be granted authorization or a non-exclusive sublicense under the Patent Rights then Controlled by Xxxxxxx under the […***…] License solely for purposes other than exercising the rights granted to Company under Section 2.1(a) above.

2.2 Right of First Negotiation.

(a) ROFN Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company hereby grants to Xxxxxxx a first right to negotiate, during the ROFN Term, for an exclusive license back from Company, under the Development Program IP and the Xxxxxxx IP and Xxxxxxx XX Rights, to Develop and Commercialize Compounds and Products in the Field in any or all countries of the Territory on commercially reasonable terms to be negotiated in good faith by the Parties and that reasonably reflect Company’s further Development of Compounds and Products (the “ROFN”). Xxxxxxx may exercise the ROFN at any time during the sixty (60) -day period following the Date of Delivery by Company to Xxxxxxx of the POC Data Package or such longer or shorter period agreed in writing by the Parties (the “ROFN Term”). For the avoidance of doubt, until expiration of the ROFN Term, without Xxxxxxx’x exercise of the Option, Company shall not grant any Third Party any right to Develop (except as a subcontractor on Company’s behalf) or Commercialize any Compounds in the Field. If a POC Trial is not initiated or completed within a reasonable time after the Effective Date, then upon a Party’s request to the other, the Parties shall confer and attempt to negotiate a redefinition of the ROFN

***Confidential Treatment Requested

Execution Copy

Term that is reasonable in light of the circumstances. For clarity, nothing in this Section 2.2 shall prohibit Company from negotiating and completing any transaction for the sale of all or substantially all of its business or assets (whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets, or otherwise), provided that any successor in interest to Company would remain subject to all obligations of Company hereunder, including the ROFN.

(b) Delivery of POC Data Package. Following completion of the POC Trial of a Product under the Development Plan, Company will provide Xxxxxxx with the POC Data Package. If, within […***…] days after the date Company first provides the POC Data Package to Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx provides written notice to Company requesting additional information that would reasonably be expected to be included in the POC Data Package, then Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide Xxxxxxx such requested additional information. The date that Company initially provides the POC Data Package or, if Xxxxxxx requests additional information in accordance with this Section 2.2(b), the date that Company provides additional information for inclusion in the POC Data Package or advises Xxxxxxx in writing that such additional information cannot be provided after using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, as applicable, shall be the “Date of Delivery” of the POC Data Package.

(c) Exercise of ROFN. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Xxxxxxx may exercise the ROFN at any time during the ROFN Term by sending written notice of such exercise (“Exercise Notice”) to Company.

(d) Effect of Expiration or Termination of ROFN. If Xxxxxxx does not exercise the ROFN during the ROFN Term by providing an Exercise Notice to Company, then the ROFN shall terminate and Company shall be free to grant rights to Compounds and Products in the Field to one or more Third Parties. If Xxxxxxx exercises the ROFN during the ROFN Term by providing an Exercise Notice to Company, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to enter into a definitive license agreement within […***…] days after the Exercise Notice (as may be extended or shortened by written agreement of the Parties, the “Negotiation Period”). If Xxxxxxx gives Company an Exercise Notice during the ROFN Term but the Parties do not enter into a definitive license agreement during the Negotiation Period, then the obligations to negotiate a definitive license agreement shall terminate and Company shall be free to grant rights to Compounds and Products in the Field to one or more Third Parties, provided that during the […***…] month period following the last date of the Negotiation Period, Company shall not enter into any agreement granting any Third Party any such rights on financial terms that, overall, are more favorable to the Third Party than those last offered by Xxxxxxx to Company during the Negotiation Period.

2.3 Reservation of Rights. Subject to the ROFN and to the licenses and sublicenses that are or may be granted to each Party pursuant to Section 2.1 and/or 2.2 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) Xxxxxxx retains all rights under the Xxxxxxx IP and Xxxxxxx XX Rights that are not expressly licensed to Company hereunder, including with respect to: (a) chemical compounds, other than Compounds, that are Covered by any claim of the Xxxxxxx Patent Rights; or (b) applications of Compounds and Products outside the Field, and Company agrees not to practice either any Know-How within the Xxxxxxx IP that is Xxxxxxx’x Confidential Information subject to the confidentiality obligations and restrictions on use under Article 9 or

pursuant to the exercise of the ROFN and to the Development Program IP that are not expressly licensed to Xxxxxxx pursuant to the exercise of the ROFN or as provided in Section 14.2(b), and Xxxxxxx agrees not to practice either any Development Program Know-How that is Company’s Confidential Information subject to the confidentiality obligations and restrictions on use under Article 9 or any inventions that are Covered by any Valid Claims of the Development Program Patent Rights, except pursuant to the licenses expressly granted to Xxxxxxx as contemplated by this Agreement. No right or license under any Patent Rights or Know-How of either Party is granted or shall be granted by implication. All rights or licenses under a Party’s intellectual property rights are or shall be granted only as expressly provided in the terms of this Agreement or any other written agreement between the Parties.

2.4 Sublicenses. Upon expiration of the ROFN Term or, if the ROFN has been exercised during the ROFN Term, expiration of the Negotiation Period pursuant to Section 2.2 above, Company shall have the right to grant sublicenses of the rights granted to it under Section 2.1 of this Agreement to its Affiliates and to Third Parties, provided that:

(a) any sublicense agreement (it being acknowledged that the grant of limited rights to use materials under materials transfer agreements, contract research agreements and clinical trial agreements is not considered a sublicense for this purpose) shall be in writing and, with the exception of the financial terms, be on substantially the same terms as this Agreement;

(b) any such sublicense agreement shall provide for the termination of the sublicense upon termination of this Agreement, except that any such sublicense to a Third Party shall not terminate upon termination of this Agreement but instead shall remain in full force and effect if the sublicensee is not then in material breach of its sublicense agreement and such sublicensee provides to Xxxxxxx within […***…] days after termination of this Agreement a written agreement to be bound as licensee under the terms and conditions of this Agreement as to a field within the Field and a territory within the Territory in which such sublicensee has been granted rights under its sublicense agreement; and

(c) Company shall be liable for all acts or omissions of its sublicensees and shall at all times, and at its own cost, enforce compliance by the sublicensee with the terms of the sublicense agreement.

6.2 Milestone Payments.

(a) Development Milestones. Each of the milestone payments identified in this Section 6.2(a) shall be due one time only upon the first achievement by Company or any Company Sublicensee of the specified milestone event with respect to any Compound or Product in the Field. For clarity, the milestone payment for each of milestone events described in clauses (i) and (iii) specified below shall be due one time only, and the milestone payment for each of milestone events described in clauses (ii) and (iv) shall be due one time only with respect to each additional (e.g., second, third, fourth, etc.) Indication. In further consideration of the license rights granted to Company under Section 2.1, Company shall promptly provide written notification to Xxxxxxx, at Beerse (Belgium), Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxxx: Finance Manager ([…***…]) upon achievement of each Development Milestone. Such notification shall indicate that the Development Milestone was achieved and request that Xxxxxxx send a written invoice for such milestone to a specific address, if such address is different than that indicated in Section 15.11: Notices. Within […***…] days of the receipt of the invoice for each of the corresponding Development Milestones listed below, Company shall pay by wire transfer the amount listed in each invoice to Xxxxxxx to the bank account identified in Section 7.2.


Development Milestone Event	Milestone Payment (USD)
(i) […***…]	$	[…***…]
(ii) […***…]	$	[…***…]
(iii) […***…]	$	[…***…]
(iv) […***…]	$	[…***…]

(b) Sales Milestones. In further consideration of the license rights granted to Company under Section 2.1, solely upon the first occurrence during the Term of aggregate worldwide Net Sales of all Products (cumulative over time, whether within […***…] or more after the First Commercial Sale) surpassing the sales threshold identified below, Company shall immediately provide written notification to Xxxxxxx, at Beerse (Belgium), Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxxx: Finance Manager ([…***…]) upon achievement of each Sales Milestone. Such notification shall indicate that the one-time corresponding sales milestone was achieved and request that Xxxxxxx send a written invoice for such milestone to a specific address, if such address is different than that indicated in Section 15.2: Notices. Within […***…] days of the receipt of the invoice for each of the corresponding Sales Milestones listed below, Company shall pay by wire transfer the amount listed in each invoice to Xxxxxxx to the bank account identified in Section 7.2. For the avoidance of doubt, if in the same reporting period

***Confidential Treatment Requested

multiple sales milestones are first attained, then the payments for all such milestones attained as specified below shall be due.


Sales Threshold (aggregate worldwide Net Sales of Products) in US dollars	Milestone Payment (USD)
> […***…]	$	[…***…]
> […***…]	$	[…***…]
> […***…]	$	[…***…]
> […***…]	$	[…***…]

(c) Clarification. For the avoidance of doubt, different milestones as specified in this Section 6.2 may be achieved by the same or a distinct Compound or Product. Additionally, should a Compound or Product be replaced or backed up by another Compound or Product, no additional milestone payments shall be due under Section 6.2 for milestone events completed by the replacement or back-up Compound or Product for which corresponding milestone payments were previously made to Company with respect to such replaced Compound or Product.

(d) Third Party Sublicense. In the event that Company sublicenses any of its rights to Compounds and/or Products to any Company Sublicensee that is a Third Party (“Third Party Sublicense”), Company would pay Xxxxxxx […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of all monetary compensation received by Company from the Company Sublicensee, including upfront and lump-sum payments and milestone payments, in consideration of the grant of a sublicense under the rights granted by Xxxxxxx to Company under this Agreement (excluding the amounts described below); however, (i) in the case of milestone payments for the milestone events set forth in Section 6.2, Company would pay Xxxxxxx the greater of (A) […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of such milestone payments and (B) such milestone payment otherwise due under Section 6.2 of this Agreement, but not both; and (ii) if Company receives a milestone from a Third Party for a milestone event that is not listed in Section 6.2, Company would pay Xxxxxxx […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the milestone from the sublicensee. For example, if Company receives a milestone payment of $[…***…] from a Company Sublicensee that is a Third Party for receipt of […***…], Company would pay Xxxxxxx $[…***…] (which is greater than […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of $[…***…]) . In no event will the payment under this Section 6.2(d) apply to: (i) debt financing of Company or its Affiliate, (ii) amounts received by Company or its Affiliate as the purchase price, at fair market value, for equity securities of Company or its Affiliate; (iii) reimbursements to Company or its Affiliate of costs for filing, prosecuting and maintaining Patent Rights; (iv) reimbursement to Company or its Affiliate for the cost of research and/or development activities performed or services or materials provided by Company or its Affiliate, and (v) royalty payments or similar payments based on Net Sales. Company shall immediately provide written notification to Xxxxxxx, at Beerse (Belgium), Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxxx: Finance Manager ([…***…]) upon achievement of each Third Party Sublicense. Such notification shall indicate that a Third Party Sublicense was achieved and

***Confidential Treatment Requested

Execution Copy

request that Xxxxxxx send a written invoice for any payment then due under this Section 6.2(d) to a specific address, if such address is different than that indicated in Section 15.2: Notices. Within […***…] days of the receipt of the invoice for any payment due under this Section 6.2(d), Company

shall pay by wire transfer the amount listed in each invoice to Xxxxxxx to the bank account identified in Section 7. If any Third Party Sublicense monetary compensation received by Company is in a currency other than US Dollars, the payment due under this Section 6.2(d) shall be calculated in such currency and then converted into their US Dollar equivalent using the closing exchange rate as published by The Wall Street Journal, Western U.S. Edition for the day the Third Party Sublicense compensation was achieved by Company.

6.3 Royalty Payments.

(a) Royalty Basis and Rate. In partial consideration of the license rights under Section 2.1, royalties shall be due from Company on aggregate Net Sales of Products during the Royalty Term, and royalties shall be determined on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis where either: (i) […***…]; (ii) […***…]; or (iii) […***…] years from First Commercial Sale. Royalties due each calendar year of the Royalty Term shall be calculated by multiplying the applicable incremental Net Sales of Products against the applicable royalty rate identified below, subject to any applicable adjustments or reductions provided for in Section 6.3(c), with each royalty rate referred to below applying only to that increment of annual Net Sales that falls within the incremental sales bracket for such royalty rate.


*Aggregate annual Net Sales of Products*	*Royalty Rate*
Less than or equal to $[…***…] million		[…***…]	%
Greater than $[…***…] million		[…***…]	%

To illustrate, if, for example, cumulative annual worldwide Net Sales of Products upon which royalties are due and payable as provided in this Section 6.3 were $[…***…] during any year of the Royalty Term, then absent any adjustments or reductions pursuant to Section 6.3(c), the royalties due would be calculated as follows: ([…***…]) + ([…***…]). For the avoidance of doubt, royalties due under this Section 6.3 shall be payable only once with respect to the same unit of Product, and different formulations (e.g., dosage strengths, delivery forms) of a Compound and Bioequivalents thereof shall be deemed the same Product.

(b) Royalty Term. Royalties due on Net Sales of Products will be payable on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis until the later of (a) […***…], (b) […***…], and (c) […***…] years from First Commercial Sale (the “Royalty

***Confidential Treatment Requested

Term”). Following the Royalty Term on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, Company’s licenses with respect to such Product in such country under Section 2.1 shall continue in effect, but become fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable.

(b) Indemnifying Party Right to Handle Claims. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.3(d) and (e) below, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice given to the Indemnified Party within […***…] days after receipt of the notice from the Indemnified Party of any Claim, to assume the defense and handling of such Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, in which case the provisions of Section 12.3(c) below shall govern.

provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party timely apprised of the status of such Claim and shall not settle such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

***Confidential Treatment Requested

Execution Copy

(b) If Company has initiated clinical development of, or obtained Marketing Authorization for, any Compounds or Products or Commercialized any Products (each a “Reverted Product”), Company shall promptly provide to Xxxxxxx a summary of the status of the Development and Commercialization of any such Reverted Products up to such termination and: (i) Xxxxxxx shall have, and Company hereby grants to Xxxxxxx, a paid-up, exclusive option, during the […***…]-year period running from termination of this Agreement, to elect to develop and commercialize any such Reverted Products; and (ii) during such option period, prior to notice of Xxxxxxx’x election decision or upon Company’s reasonable request, Xxxxxxx shall permit Company to undertake activities to wind down in a commercially reasonable manner any ongoing development or commercialization activities with respect to each such Product for which Company’s license rights under this Agreement have been terminated (subject to

Company’ obligation under Section 6.3 to pay any royalties that may accrue during such wind-down period on account of Net Sales of such Reverted Products from the supply on hand as of the termination). Promptly after Company’ receipt of a notice within the […***…]-year option exercise period of Xxxxxxx’x election to take over development and commercialization of such a Reverted Product, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a written confirmatory agreement under which: (x) Company shall xxxxx Xxxxxxx a worldwide, exclusive, sublicenseable right and license to develop and commercialize such Reverted Product under the Company Patent Rights (if any) and applicable Development Program Know-How (including data submitted to Regulatory Authorities) Controlled by Company (directly or through its Affiliates or sublicensees), subject to the rights under any sublicense granted to a Company Sublicensee that survives termination as provided in Section 2.4; and (y) Xxxxxxx shall pay Company a royalty on Net Sales of such Reverted Product at a rate of […***…], with provisions parallel to those set forth in Sections 6.3 and 7 hereof applicable mutatis mutandi to Xxxxxxx’x royalty payments.

For clarification, any license granted to Xxxxxxx as described in this Section 14.2(b) will include the right to use clinical and regulatory data and information generated by Company for regulatory purposes relating to the Reverted Products. In connection with any exclusive license to Reverted Products granted under this Section 14.1(b), Company shall transfer and assign to Xxxxxxx all of its right, title and interest in and to all U.S. and foreign Marketing Authorizations with respect to

In addition, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transition to Xxxxxxx upon Xxxxxxx’x request any arrangement with any contractor from which Company had arranged to obtain supplies of Reverted Products (or the Compounds therein), to the extent permitted under any such agreement with such contractor. In the event that Reverted Products are manufactured by Company or its Affiliate, then, upon request by Xxxxxxx, Company shall continue to provide Xxxxxxx with such materials at a price to be agreed by the Parties for not longer than […***…] months.

(d) In the event that Company has any Development activities with regard to any Reverted Products ongoing, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and adopt a plan to wind-down the development activities in an orderly fashion or, at Xxxxxxx’x election of exclusive license rights pursuant to Section 14.2(b), promptly transition such Development activities for any Reverted Products to Xxxxxxx or its designee, with due regard for patient safety and the rights of any subjects that are participants in any clinical trials of any Reverted Product and take any actions it deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to avoid any human health or safety problems and in compliance with all Applicable Laws.

1.3.

Each Party shall maintain true and accurate records necessary to demonstrate compliance with the Agreement (including the requirements of this Exhibit).

1.4.

If a Party fails to comply with any of the provisions of this Exhibit (irrespective of the size, nature or materiality of such violation), such failure may be treated by the other Party as a material breach.

The Holder also may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it by law.

4. Conversion.

(a) Mandatory Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, upon the Company’s receiving gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000.00 (not including the aggregate principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the Note to be converted) in an offering or series of related offerings from the bona fide sale of Series A Preferred Stock or such other class of shares as are issued by the Company (a “Qualified Equity Financing”), the entire outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall automatically convert into shares of the Company’s capital stock with equivalent rights and preferences (other than to account for the Company’s obligation to Holder pursuant to Section 4(e) below) as the shares issued in such Qualified Equity Financing (such shares to be issued upon such conversion hereof, the “Qualified Equity Financing Shares”) at a conversion price equal to the lowest per share purchase price paid for the shares offered in the Qualified Equity Financing.

(b) Conversion Procedure. Before the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note into Qualified Equity Financing Shares pursuant to Section 4(a) above, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company. The conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the consummation of the Qualified Equity Financing. Thereupon, the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of Qualified Equity Financing Shares to which the Holder is entitled.

(c) Note No Longer Outstanding. Upon conversion of this Note, this Note shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the Holder as a holder of this Note shall cease.

(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional Qualified Equity Financing Shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional shares, pay the Holder cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the applicable conversion price on the date of conversion.

(e) Execution of Agreements Upon Conversion. If this Note converts upon a Qualified Equity Financing pursuant to Section 4(a) above, then in connection therewith, the Holder and the Company will, if requested by either the Company or Holder, execute and deliver to each other such agreements (including, without limitation, a purchase agreement, investor rights agreement, right of first refusal/co-sale agreement and voting agreement (the “Financing Agreements”)) as are executed and delivered by other investors in such financing. The Financing Agreements shall provide that, so long as the Company continues to develop and commercialize tipifarnib under that certain License Agreement, dated on or about the date of this Note, between Holder’s affiliate (Xxxxxxx Pharmaceutica NV) and the Company, except with the written consent of the Holder, the Company may not, directly or indirectly (including without limitation by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise), impose on the Holder what is commonly known as a “pay-to-play” provision or any similar provision in the Company’s certificate of incorporation that, upon the failure of the Holder to participate in whole or in part in any future financing of the Company, would (i) cause or permit the conversion of the Holder’s Qualified Equity Financing Shares into another class or series of capital stock or (ii)

otherwise modify the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of the Holder’s Qualified Equity Financing Shares (such provision to be included in the applicable Financing Agreements, the “Pay-To-Play Limitation”); provided, however, that there shall be no obligation for any Financing Agreements to contain a Pay-To-Play Limitation at any time following the date of the closing of the sale of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the firm commitment underwritten offering of its securities to the general public.

5. Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (defined below) prior to the closing of a Qualified Equity Financing, the Holder may elect to, at its sole discretion and upon written notice to the Company, be paid the sum of (i) one and one half times (1.5x) the outstanding Principal Amount plus (ii) accrued interest on this Note, payable upon consummation of the Change of Control. The Company shall provide written notice to the Holder of a Change of Control at least 15 days in advance of the consummation thereof. A “Change of Control” means (a) any merger with another company or an acquisition of the Company, whether by recapitalization, consolidation, sale of outstanding equity securities or otherwise, as a result of which the existing equity holders of the Company prior to such transaction hold less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after such transaction, or (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

6. Miscellaneous.

(a) No Stockholder Rights. The Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of any equity securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the conversion hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a holder of equity securities of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to holders of equity securities at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Note shall have converted in accordance with Section 4 hereof.

(b) Waiver and Amendment. Any term of this Note may be amended or waived, either retroactively or prospectively, with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(c) Notices and Addresses. Any notice, demand, request, waiver, or other communication under this Note shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of service, if personally served or sent by telecopy or email; on the business day after notice is delivered to a courier or mailed by express mail, if sent by courier delivery service or express mail for next day delivery; and on the third day after mailing, if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be given, by first class mail, registered, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed as follows:

(ii) Any legend set forth in, or required by, applicable financing agreements entered into in connection with the issuance and sale of the equity securities.

(iii) Any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to such equity securities represented by the certificate so legended.
