If any such consent cannot be obtained prior to the Closing, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Related Document, (a) this Agreement and the related instruments of transfer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of the applicable Non-Assignable Right, and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent as soon as possible after the Closing and (b) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Purchaser substantially all of the practical benefit and burden of such Non-Assignable Right, including by (i) entering into appropriate and reasonable alternative arrangements on terms mutually agreeable to Purchaser and Seller and (ii) subject to the consent and control of Purchaser, enforcement, at

Any amounts deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the CVR Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

(b)Unless this Agreement is otherwise terminated pursuant to Sections 8.1 through 8.4, Seller’s obligation to call, give notice of and hold the Stockholders Meeting in accordance with Section 6.8 shall not be limited by or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Acquisition Proposal or by any Change in Recommendation.

6.6.6Fiduciary Exception to No Change in Recommendation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.6.5, following receipt of an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal by Seller that was renewed on or after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.6 that has not been withdrawn and with respect to which Seller has received a written, definitive form of Alternative Acquisition Agreement, and the Board determining in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Board may, at any time prior to the time the Stockholder Approval is obtained, make a Change in Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal, only if all of the following conditions are met:

(a)Seller shall have complied in all material respects with the provisions of this Section 6.6 and shall have (A) provided to Purchaser five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall state expressly (1) that it has received a written Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the Person or group making the Acquisition Proposal), and (3) that, subject to clause (b) below, the Board has determined to hold a meeting at which it intends to effect a Change in Recommendation (the “Determination Notice”), and (B) during such five (5) Business Day period, (x) engaged in good faith negotiations with Purchaser (to the extent Purchaser wishes to engage) with respect to any revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the CVR Agreement, or another proposal, which may be proposed in writing by Purchaser such that the Alternative Acquisition

Agreement ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (y) in determining whether to make a Change in Recommendation, the Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement and the CVR Agreement proposed in writing by Purchaser; and

(b)the Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms proposed in writing by Purchaser, such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties to Seller’s stockholders under applicable Law.

The provisions of this Section 6.6.6 shall also apply to any change to any financial terms (including the form, amount and timing of payment of consideration) or any other material amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal and require a new Determination Notice and that Seller comply anew with the provisions of this Section 6.6.6.

6.6.7Change in Recommendation Due to Intervening Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.6.5, upon the occurrence of any Intervening Event, the Board may, at any time prior to the time the Stockholder Approval is obtained, make a Change in Recommendation, if all of the following conditions are met:

(a)Seller shall have (A) provided to Purchaser five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Intervening Event and the rationale for the Change in Recommendation and Seller and its Representatives shall provide to Purchaser and its Representatives all applicable information with respect to such Intervening Event reasonably requested by Purchaser to permit it to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement and the CVR Agreement, and (2) state expressly that, subject to clause (B) below, the Board has determined to hold a meeting at which it intends to effect a Change in Recommendation and (B) prior to making such a Change in Recommendation, engaged in good faith negotiations with Purchaser (to the extent Purchaser wishes to engage) with respect to any revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the CVR Agreement, or another proposal, which may be proposed in writing by Purchaser in such a manner that the failure of the Board to make a Change in Recommendation in response to the Intervening Event in accordance with clause (b) below would no longer be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(b)the Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that in light of such Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms proposed in writing by Xxxxxxxxx, the failure to make a Change in Recommendation, would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

6.6.8Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 shall be deemed to prohibit Seller from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided that any “stop look and listen” communication to its stockholders of the nature contemplated by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act shall include an affirmative statement to the effect that the recommendation of the Board is affirmed or remains unchanged; provided, further, that this Section 6.6.8 shall not be

deemed to permit Seller or the Board to effect a Change in Recommendation except in accordance with Sections 6.6.6 and 6.6.7.

Seller will, as soon as practicable following the Execution Date (and in any event, within eight (8) Business Days following the Execution Date), prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement in connection with the Stockholders Meeting in preliminary form. Seller shall cause the Proxy Statement to (i) comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and (ii) not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto and will give Purchaser and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the initial preliminary Proxy Statement and all subsequent forms or versions of or amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement prior to the filing thereof with the SEC or dissemination to the stockholders and Seller shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any timely comments thereon made by the other Party or its counsel. Seller will (i) notify Purchaser promptly (and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and will promptly supply Purchaser with copies of all correspondence between Seller or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement (including copies of all comments from the SEC), (ii) provide Purchaser and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed correspondence between it or any of its Representatives and on the one hand and the SEC or its staff on the other hand with respect to the Proxy Statement and shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments thereon made by Purchaser or its counsel and (iii) promptly provide Purchaser with final copies of any correspondence sent by it or any of its Representatives to the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement, and of any amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement.

Seller will schedule the Stockholders Meeting to be held within twenty-five (25) Business Days of the initial mailing of the Proxy Statement. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.8, any adjournments or postponements of the Stockholders Meeting shall require the prior written consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Seller, in consultation with Xxxxxxxxx, shall set a record date for Persons entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Stockholders Meeting, and, except as set forth on Schedule 6.8, shall not change such record date without the prior written consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Unless the Board shall have made a Change in Recommendation, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval, including to solicit proxies in favor of approval of the Asset Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller shall ensure all proxies solicited by Seller and its Representatives in connection with the Stockholders Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Law. Seller shall, upon the reasonable request of Purchaser, advise Purchaser at least on a daily basis on each of the last seven (7) Business Days prior to the date of the Stockholders Meeting as to the aggregate tally of proxies received by Seller with respect to the Stockholder Approval. The Stockholder Approval matters shall be the only matters (other than a customary adjournment proposal) that Seller shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of Seller at the Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.9Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledges that the information provided or otherwise made available to it in connection with this Agreement, the Asset Sale and the other transactions contemplated hereby is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon the Closing Date, the Confidentiality Agreement will terminate with respect to information to the extent relating to the Transferred Assets or the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement except to the extent terminated as provided above. Additionally, to the extent copies, knowledge, or memories of the same are retained in any way, Seller will hold, and will direct each of its Affiliates and Representatives to hold, in strict confidence from any other Person all confidential and proprietary information and documents relating to the Transferred Assets and the Specified Programs, except to the extent such information is generally available to, and known by, the public other than as a result of a breach by Seller or its Affiliates and Representatives of the terms of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement. Seller, and its Affiliates and Representatives, may disclose such confidential and proprietary information only to the extent required pursuant to any applicable Law or Governmental Order or by any Governmental Body.

6.10Regulatory Matters.

6.10.1Transfer of Regulatory Approvals. At the Closing, Seller shall transfer the exclusive benefit of the Regulatory Approvals to Purchaser free of all Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.10.

6.10.5Former Seller Personnel. The Parties acknowledge that employees, advisors, and independent contractors who have been involved in research and development related to the Business (“Business Information”), may have information necessary to enable Purchaser to enjoy the value of the Transferred Assets (the “Key Personnel”). Purchaser anticipates that, Key Personnel may be hired or engaged by Purchaser or its Affiliates. The Parties acknowledge that Key Personnel may have entered into employment agreements or other written agreements with Seller or its Affiliates, that contain (a) obligations of confidentiality, non-use and non-disclosure with respect to any information related to the Business, or (b) non-compete obligations with respect to the Business (“Key Personnel Agreements”). Seller hereby consents, during the term of Key Personnel’s employment or engagement by Xxxxxxxxx, to Key Personnel’s disclosure or use of Business Information in furtherance of Purchaser’s business efforts. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller waives any rights under any Key Personnel Agreements solely with respect to activities set forth in this provision.

6.10.6Right of Setoff. In the event Purchaser suffers any losses due to (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement, (ii) any failure by Seller to materially perform or comply with any agreement, obligation, or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement, or (iii) the assertion against Purchaser or any of its assets of any Excluded Liabilities, including Liabilities arising from Seller’s operations or any of its assets prior to the Closing, whether such losses arise before, on or after the Closing, then Purchaser shall be entitled to recover the amount of such losses, to the extent any Milestone Payments remains unpaid, by reducing the amount of Milestone Payments payable to the Holders on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

9.5No Benefit to Third Parties. The covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and, they shall not be construed as conferring any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement on any other Persons.

9.6Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. 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 shall 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 by either Party of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by applicable Law or otherwise available, and the exercise by a Party of any one right or remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy, except as expressly set forth herein.

9.7Expenses. Except as otherwise specified herein, and whether or not the Closing takes place, each Party shall bear any costs and expenses incurred by it with respect to the transactions contemplated herein.

9.8Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor either Party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party shall be void and of no effect. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.9Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by both Parties.

9.10Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or

unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the Parties.

9.11Equitable Relief. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party hereby waives (a) any requirement that the other Party post a bond or other security as a condition for obtaining any such relief, and (b) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

9.12Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by portable document format (“pdf” or “jpg”) or other electronic transmission (including DocuSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Delaware Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and any other applicable Law.

9.13Relationship Between the Parties. The Parties’ relationship, as established by this Agreement, is solely that of independent contractors. This Agreement does not create any partnership, joint venture or similar business relationship between the Parties and each Party covenants that it shall not treat the relationship between the Parties as a partnership, joint venture or similar business relationship for any Tax or accounting purposes. Neither Party is a legal representative of the other Party, and neither Party can assume or create any obligation, representation, warranty or guarantee, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever.

9.14Entire Agreement. The This Agreement, together with the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto, the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the Confidentiality Agreement, the other Related Documents and the other agreements, certificates and documents delivered in connection herewith or therewith or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, promises and representations, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. In the event of any inconsistency between any such Schedules and Exhibits and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

Stockholders Meeting Matters

Seller, in consultation with Purchaser and subject to Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in accordance with applicable law and in compliance with Nasdaq rules, may hold a second Stockholders Meeting in the event the Asset Sale is not approved in the initial Stockholders Meeting after implementing a Seller “golden share” (i.e., issue super-voting preferred stock) and then to set a new record date (if required) for Seller’s stockholders to approve the Asset Sale; provided that the date of the Stockholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned beyond the End Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the “Stockholders Meeting,” as defined in this Agreement, shall include any stockholders meeting held in accordance with this Schedule 6.8. If Purchaser fails to provide its written consent for Seller to hold such second Stockholders Meeting as contemplated by this Schedule 6.8, then the Reimbursable Expenses Amount payable to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.7 shall be no greater than $250,000.
