2.2 Sublicense Rights.

(a) Licensee shall have the right to grant sublicenses of the licenses granted in Sections 2.1, 5.7(a), 5.7(b), 5.7(c), 5.7(f) and 9.1(c) (and, to the extent permitted by the underlying licenses with Other Licensees, Section 2.6) to its Affiliates or Sublicensees solely as set forth in this Section 2.2 (each such sublicense, a “Sublicense Agreement”). Licensee shall remain primarily responsible for all of its Affiliates and Sublicensees’ activities and any and all failures by its Affiliates and Sublicensees to comply with the applicable terms of this Agreement and Licensee shall at all times remain liable for the performance and actions of its Affiliates and Sublicensees. Licensee shall be entitled to retain all consideration it receives in relation to granting any such Sublicense Agreement, provided Licensee shall be responsible for making all payments to MTI contemplated under Article 8 regardless of whether the activity of Licensee, its Affiliate or any of their respective Sublicensees or agents gives rise to such payment obligation.

(b) MTI shall have the right to sublicense the rights granted to it in Sections 2.5(a), 5.7(a), 5.7(b), 5.7(d), 5.7(f) and 9.1(c) (and, to the extent permitted by each underlying license with a Sublicensee, Section 2.7) to its Affiliates and to any Other Licensee to the extent such Other Licensee has granted an Other Licensee Non-Exclusive Grant-Back License to Licensee (such Other Licensee, a “Cooperative Other Licensee”), provided that MTI shall at all times remain liable for the performance and actions of its Affiliates and Other Licensees. MTI shall not, and shall

not permit any of its Affiliates or Other Licensees to, use or practice any Licensee Owned Improvement Patents or Licensee Owned Improvement Know-How outside the scope of the license granted to it under this Section 2.5. The rights granted in this Section 2.5 are referred to as “Licensee Grant-Back License”.

2.8 Right to Expand the Field. In the event the Merck License Agreement is amended to include in the rights licensed by MTI the treatment or prevention of nausea or emesis (including without limitation chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and postoperative nausea and vomiting) or any part thereof, MTI will offer Licensee the right to expand the definition of “Field” to include such uses; provided, however, in order to exercise Licensee’s right, if MTI made a payment to Merck in order to expand the field under the Merck License Agreement, Licensee will pay, as sole compensation therefor, to MTI an amount equal to (a) MTI’s payment obligations to Merck to effect the expansion of the Field in the Territory under the Merck License Agreement or, (b) in the event MTI’s new rights under the Merck License Agreement are broader in geographic scope than the Territory, a payment in relative proportion to the value of such rights in the Territory. Upon Licensee’s exercise of the rights granted hereunder and making of any required payment hereunder, the definition of “Field” will be deemed to include the treatment or prevention of nausea or emesis (including without limitation chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and postoperative nausea and vomiting) or the relevant part thereof.

2.9 Formulation Development. During the Term, each Party (the “Developing Party”) may, in its discretion and subject to the licenses granted in Section 2.1, engage a Third Party to develop additional formulations of a Product and such engagement may result in the development of Patents and/or Know-How relating formulations of a Product (“Formulation Technology”). To the extent any Formulation Technology is Controlled by the Developing Party, it will automatically be included in the licenses granted to the other Party under Sections 2.1 or 2.5, as applicable. To the extent any Formulation Technology is not Controlled by the Developing Party and is instead Controlled by a Third Party, upon the request of the other Party, the Developing Party will cooperate and in good faith facilitate negotiations between such Third Party and the other Party to allow the other Party to use and exploit such Formulation Technology in a manner consistent with the rights of such other Party under this Agreement. For clarity, neither Party will pay any additional consideration for rights to Formulation Technology Controlled by a Developing Party.

If the other Party fails to provide its comments to the Party seeking publication within such [***] (or [***] as the case may be), such other Party shall be deemed not to have any comments, and the Party seeking publication shall be free to publish in accordance with this Section 12.5 after the [***] (or [***], as the case may be) has elapsed. The Party seeking publication shall provide the other Party a copy of the publication at the time of the submission. Each Party agrees to acknowledge the contributions of the other Party and its employees in all publications as scientifically appropriate.

12.6 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges that its breach of Article 12 of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury to the other Party for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, each Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief to prevent or curtail any actual or threatened breach of the obligations relating to Confidential Information set forth in this Article 12 by the other Party. The rights and

remedies provided to each Party in this Article 12 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies available to such Party at law or in equity.

ARTICLE 13

TERM AND TERMINATION

13.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 13, shall remain in effect on a Product-by-Product basis until the expiration of the Royalty Term of such Product in the Territory (the “Term”).

13.2 Termination by MTI for Patent Challenge. MTI may terminate this Agreement in its entirety immediately upon written notice to Licensee if Licensee or its Affiliates (directly or indirectly, individually or in association with any other person or entity) challenges the validity, enforceability or scope of any MTI Patents or MTI Owned Improvement Patents anywhere in the world.

13.3 Termination for Breach.

(a) Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety immediately upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement and, after receiving written notice identifying such material breach in reasonable detail, subject to Section 13.3(b), fails to cure such material breach within [***] from the date of such notice (or within [***] from the date of such notice in the event such material breach is based on the breaching Party’s failure to pay any amounts due hereunder).

(b) If the alleged breaching Party disputes in good faith the existence or materiality of a breach specified in a notice provided by the other Party in accordance with Section 13.3 (a), and such alleged breaching Party provides the other Party notice of such dispute within the applicable cure period, then the non-breaching Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 13.3(a) unless and until an arbitrator, in accordance with Article 14, has determined that the alleged breaching Party has materially breached the Agreement and such breaching Party fails to cure such breach within the applicable cure period (measured as commencing after the arbitrator’s decision). It is understood and agreed that during the pendency of such dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder.

13.4 Termination for Bankruptcy. To the extent permitted under applicable Laws, if at any time during the Term of this Agreement, an Event of Bankruptcy (as defined below) relating to either Party (the “Bankrupt Party”) occurs, the other Party (the “Non-Bankrupt Party”) shall have, in addition to all other legal and equitable rights and remedies available hereunder, the option to terminate this Agreement upon [***] written notice to the Bankrupt Party. It is agreed and understood that if the Non-Bankrupt Party does not elect to terminate this

Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy, except as may otherwise be agreed with the trustee or receiver appointed to manage the affairs of the Bankrupt Party, the Non-Bankrupt Party shall continue to make all payments required of it under this Agreement as if the Event of Bankruptcy had not occurred, and the Bankrupt Party shall not have the right to terminate any license granted herein. The term “Event of Bankruptcy” means: (a) filing, in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state or country, (i) a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, (ii) for reorganization or (iii) for the appointment of (or for an arrangement for the appointment of) a receiver or trustee of the Bankrupt Party or of its assets; (b) with respect to the Bankrupt Party, being served with an involuntary petition filed in any insolvency proceeding, which such petition is not dismissed within [***] after the filing thereof; (c) proposing or being a party to any dissolution or liquidation when insolvent; or (d) making an assignment for the benefit of creditors. Without limitation, the Bankrupt Party’s rights under this Agreement shall include those rights afforded by 11 USAC. § 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and any successor thereto. If the bankruptcy trustee of a Bankrupt Party as a debtor or debtor-in-possession rejects this Agreement under 11 USAC. § 365(o) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Non-Bankrupt Party may elect to retain its rights licensed from the Bankrupt Party hereunder (and any other supplementary agreements hereto) for the duration of this Agreement and avail itself of all rights and remedies to the full extent contemplated by this Agreement and 11 USAC. § 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, and any other relevant Laws.

[***].

13.7 Obligations until Termination. For clarity, Licensee shall continue to perform all obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Development and Commercialization of Products until the effective date of termination and shall not modify in any material respects such activities from past practices during such period.

13.8 Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that have accrued prior to the date of termination or expiration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the following provisions shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: 5.3, 6.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8. 10, 9.1(a), (b) and (c), 9.3(c) and (d), 10.5, Articles 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.

Under the terms of the agreement, JT and Torii will jointly develop serlopitant in Japan and Torii will be commercializing it, once the development and necessary approval procedures have been completed. The companies will pay to Menlo Therapeutics upfront licensing fees and payments upon the achievement of certain milestones, and royalties based on future sales in Japan.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Menlo Park, CA. August 10, 2016

Menlo Therapeutics Signs Exclusive License Agreement with Japan Tobacco and Torii Pharmaceuticals for Development and Commercialization of NK-1 receptor antagonist in Japan

Menlo Therapeutics Inc, (Menlo Park, CA) announced today that it has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) (TSE:2914) and Torii Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Torii) (TSE:4551) for the development and commercialization of serlopitant in Japan. Serlopitant is a first–in-class, once-daily oral NK-1 receptor antagonist candidate for the treatment of pruritus. Serlopitant has demonstrated antipruritic effects in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with severe, chronic pruritus conducted by Menlo Therapeutics.

Under the terms of the agreement, JT and Torii will jointly develop serlopitant in Japan and Torii will commercialize it, once the development and necessary approval procedures have been completed. The companies will pay to Menlo Therapeutics upfront licensing fees and payments upon the achievement of certain milestones, and royalties based on future sales in Japan.

Serlopitant has been evaluated in a 257-patient randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-finding Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of severe chronic pruritus. All serlopitant treatment groups demonstrated reduced pruritus as compared with the placebo group, with statistically significant improvement seen at the two higher dose levels. Based upon this successful Phase 2 study, Menlo Therapeutics in partnership with JT and Torii is expanding development to multiple clinical populations in which severe pruritus represents a significant unmet clinical need.

“We are delighted to have JT and Torii as our partner in Japan. JT and Torii have significant pruritus development and marketing experience in Japan, and they are the current market leader in pruritus therapy for patients on hemodialysis. Torii also has a strong established position in the Japanese dermatology market. These dual market capabilities make JT and Torii an excellent partner for serlopitant development and commercialization” said Xxxxx Xxxxx, CEO of Menlo Therapeutics.
