All aforementioned deductions shall only be allowable to the extent they are commercially reasonable, and shall be determined, on a country-by-country basis, as incurred in the ordinary course of business in type and amount consistent with Cidara’s, its Affiliate’s or (Sub)licensee’s (as the case may be) business practices consistently applied across its product lines and accounting standards and verifiable. All such discounts, allowances, credits, rebates and other deductions shall be fairly and equitably allocated to such CD388 Product and other products of Cidara and its Affiliates and (Sub)licensees such that such CD388 Product does not bear a disproportionate portion of such deductions. In no event will any particular amount identified above be deducted more than once in calculating Net Sales.

Sales of a CD388 Product by and between Cidara and its Affiliates and (Sub)licensees for eventual resale to Third Parties are not sales to Third Parties and shall be excluded from Net Sales calculations.

In the event that a CD388 Product is sold as part of a Combination Product in a country, the Net Sales with respect to the Combination Product in such country (for all financial terms pursuant to Article 6) shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales amount for the Combination Product during the applicable reporting period, calculated as set forth above, by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the Average Net Selling Price of the CD388 Product in such country when sold separately, and B is the Average Net Selling Price of the Other Active(s) in the Combination Product in such country when sold separately, in each case, in the same dosage and dosage form and in the same country as the Combination Product during the applicable reporting period. If the Other Active(s) in the Combination Product is not sold separately in such country during the applicable reporting period, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/C where A is the Average Net

Selling Price of the CD388 Product in such country when sold separately, and C is the Average Net Selling Price of the Combination Product in such country. If neither the CD388 Product nor the Other Active(s) were sold separately in such country during the applicable reporting period, then the respective Average Net Selling Prices during the most recent reporting period in which sales of both occurred in the same country as the Combination Product shall be used. In the event that the Average Net Selling Price of the CD388 Product is not available in a given country for any reporting period, then the Average Net Selling Prices of the respective products described above (in the same dosage and dosage form as the Combination Product) in a proxy country to be agreed upon by both Parties will be used (such agreement not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and if the Parties cannot agree upon such proxy country, or no such comparable sales figures are available in an appropriate proxy country, Net Sales for the applicable Combination Product shall be allocated based on the relative value contributed by the Compound and the Other Active(s) (such relative value to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing).

1.87“Other Active” shall mean any active pharmaceutical ingredient that is not a Compound or a product containing any such active pharmaceutical ingredient (and not containing a Compound). For clarity, drug delivery vehicles, [***] and excipients are hereby deemed not to be “Other Actives.”

1.89“Patent Challenge” shall mean any action or proceeding (other than any oppositions, cancellations, interferences, reissue proceedings or reexaminations) challenging any Cidara Compound-Specific Patent as being invalid or unenforceable.

1.90“Patent Rights” shall mean any and all (a) patents, (b) pending patent applications, including all provisional applications, substitutions, continuations, continuations-in-part, divisions and renewals, and all patents granted thereon, (c) all patents-of-addition, reissues, reexaminations and extensions, restorations or adjustments by existing or future extension, restoration or adjustment mechanisms, including supplementary protection certificates or the equivalent thereof, (d) inventor’s certificates, (e) other forms of government-issued right substantially similar to any of the foregoing, and (f) all U.S. and foreign counterparts of any of the foregoing.

1.91“Person” shall mean any natural person or Entity.

1.92“Phase 3 Trial” shall mean a human clinical trial that would satisfy the requirements for a Phase 3 study as defined in 21 CFR § 312.21(c), or any foreign equivalent thereof.

Commencing with the First Commercial Sale of a CD388 Product by Cidara or its Affiliates or (Sub)licensees, Cidara shall deliver to Xxxxxxx within [***] after the end of each Calendar Quarter a report setting forth, on a CD388 Product-by-CD388 Product and country-by-country basis, the Net Sales of CD388 Products during such Calendar Quarter (including the details of any Combination Product adjustment to such Net Sales) and the exchange rates used in calculating such Net Sales. All reports delivered by Cidara under this Section 7.1 shall be Confidential Information of Cidara. For clarity, Cidara shall have no reporting obligations whatsoever with respect to net sales or revenues from sales of any Product other than CD388 Product.

7.2Exchange Rate. All payment amounts specified in this Agreement are expressed in U.S. Dollars, and all payments by Xxxxxxx to Cidara under this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. When conversion from any foreign currency is required to calculate Net Sales in U.S. Dollars, such conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange for such currency used throughout the accounting system of Cidara and its Affiliates for the applicable period.

7.3Income Tax Withholding. Cidara shall make all payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding for Taxes except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by law in effect at the time of payment; provided, however, that Cidara shall use reasonable, good faith efforts to give Janssen advance notice of its intention to make such deduction or withholding and the Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take all such actions as shall enable them to take advantage of any applicable double taxation agreement or treaty. Prior to making any payment subject to deduction or withholding, Cidara shall request from Janssen any documents reasonably required to reduce or eliminate any deduction or withholding from the payment due to Janssen. Any Tax required to be withheld on amounts payable under this Agreement will be timely paid by Cidara on behalf of Xxxxxxx to the appropriate Governmental Authority, and Cidara will promptly furnish Xxxxxxx with proof of payment of such Tax as well as any official receipts issued by the applicable Governmental Authority or other evidence as is reasonably requested to establish that such Taxes have been paid. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.3, in the event there is no double taxation agreement or treaty, or if the applicable double taxation agreement or treaty reduces but does not eliminate such deduction or withholding for Taxes, any such Tax required to be withheld will be an expense of and borne by Xxxxxxx. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that if Cidara (or its Affiliates or successors) is required to make a payment to Xxxxxxx

subject to deduction or withholding of taxes, as described in this Section 7.3, and if the obligation to deduct or withhold taxes arises, or if the amount of such taxes required to be deducted or withheld is increased solely as a result any action taken by Cidara or its Affiliates or a successor or assignee including the assignment or transfer of all or a portion of this Agreement by Cidara pursuant to Section 14.6 or otherwise, or there is a change, whether by corporate continuance, merger or other means, in the tax residency of Cidara, or payments arise or are deemed to arise through a branch of Cidara (each a “Withholding Tax Action”), then notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the payment by Cidara (in respect of which such obligation to deduct or withhold taxes is required) shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that Xxxxxxx receives an amount equal to the same amount that it would have received had no Withholding Tax Action occurred. The Parties shall cooperate with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding taxes, and the Parties shall provide reasonable mutual assistance with respect to any claim of refund or exemption from Taxes under any relevant agreement or treaty.

7.4Indirect Taxes. Amounts payable under this Agreement do not include any sales, use, excise, value added or other applicable taxes, tariffs or duties. If any taxing authority imposes a VAT, GST, sales, use, service, consumption, business or similar tax (any such tax, an “Indirect Tax”) with respect to the work undertaken under this Agreement, then Cidara agrees to pay that amount if specified in a valid invoice or supply exemption documentation. For avoidance of doubt, Xxxxxxx will not be entitled to pass on to Cidara, and Cidara will not be obligated to pay or bear, any tax that is based on Xxxxxxx’x real, personal or intangible property (whether owned or leased), corporate structure, franchise, continuing business operations, income, gross receipts, capital stock, net worth or imposed with respect to Xxxxxxx’x engagement of employees or independent contractors or that Xxxxxxx incurs upon subcontracting any work hereunder, in whole or in part, to any Affiliate or Third Party. Xxxxxxx is solely responsible, to the extent required by Applicable Law, for identifying, billing, and collecting any Indirect Tax payable by Cidara with respect to payments under this Agreement in all relevant federal, state, county, municipal and other taxing jurisdictions and for filing all required tax returns in a timely manner. To the extent that Xxxxxxx does not provide Cidara a valid invoice (i.e., an invoice compliant with this Agreement and the rules and regulations of the jurisdictions of both Cidara and Xxxxxxx, including separate identification of the tax where legally required), Xxxxxxx shall be responsible for any penalty resulting directly from such noncompliance. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to minimize taxes to the extent legally permissible.

7.5Records; Audits.

(a)Net Sales. During the Term and for a period of three Calendar Years thereafter, Cidara shall keep, and shall cause its Affiliates and (Sub)licensees to keep, complete and accurate records pertaining to the sale or other disposition of CD388 Products in sufficient detail to permit Xxxxxxx to confirm the accuracy of all Sales Milestone Payments due hereunder and Xxxxxx’s reports with respect thereto, for at least three full Calendar Years following the end of the Calendar Year to which they pertain. Xxxxxxx shall have the right, once annually and during normal business hours and on no less than 30 days’ prior written notice, to cause an

independent, certified public accountant that is an internationally recognized expert in the field of audit with offices in the Major Markets and reasonably acceptable to Cidara to audit such records to confirm Net Sales and the timing of achievement of Sales Milestone Events, for a period covering not more than the preceding three full Calendar Years. The records for a given Calendar Year shall be subject to audit no more than one time.

(b)Audit Procedures. The independent public accounting firm conducting an audit of a Cidara pursuant to Section 7.5(a) shall execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement Cidara prior to commencing any such inspection. Following completion of an inspection pursuant to Section 7.5(a), the independent public accounting firm shall, prior to distribution to Janssen, share its report with Cidara. If Cidara provides the independent public accounting firm with justifying remarks for inclusion in the report, the independent public accounting firm shall incorporate such remarks into its report prior to sharing the conclusions of such independent public accounting firm with Xxxxxxx. The final audit report shall be shared with both Parties at the same time and shall specify whether (i) any Net Sales reported by Cidara during the audited period were correct and, if incorrect, the amount of any underreporting or overreporting, and (ii) any Sales Milestone Event achieved during the audited period was timely reported and, if not timely reported, when such Sales Milestone Event should have been reported. The audit report shall contain only such information as is reasonably necessary to provide Janssen with information regarding any actual or potential discrepancies. Janssen shall bear the costs and expenses of any inspection conducted under this Section 7.5 unless such inspection reveals [***], in which case Cidara shall bear the costs and expenses of such inspection. If Xxxxxx disagrees with the findings of the audit report, the Parties will meet to attempt to mutually agree upon a resolution to the dispute. If such resolution cannot be reached, such disagreement shall be subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 13.

7.6Late Payments. In the event that any payment due under this Agreement (other than any portion thereof that is subject to a good faith dispute between the Parties during the pendency of dispute resolutions pursuant to Article 13) is not made when due, simple interest shall accrue on the late payment at a rate per annum that is [***] basis points (i.e., [***] percentage points) above the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (SOFR) provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or a comparable reference interbank rate per currency (or such other rate and source as the Parties mutually agree in writing) for the period from the due date for payment until the date of actual payment or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Law, whichever is lower. The payment of such interest shall not limit Xxxxxxx from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

8.Intellectual Property

8.1Ownership. As between the Parties, Cidara is and shall remain the sole and exclusive owner of all Cidara Technology, and, except as set forth in Section 4.1(d) with respect to the CD388 Cell Banks, Xxxxxxx is and shall remain the sole and exclusive owner of all Xxxxxxx Technology. The Parties are and shall remain the joint owners of all Joint Technology. Except to the extent Xxxxxxx has granted Cidara the License under Xxxxxxx’x joint ownership interest in Joint Technology, and subject to Cidara’s payment, reporting and accounting obligations with

respect to CD388 Products under this Agreement, each Party shall have the right to practice and use, and to grant licenses under, such Party’s own joint ownership interest in Joint Technology without the other Party’s consent, and shall have no duty to account to the other Party for such practice, use or license, and each Party hereby waives any right it may have under the laws of any country to require such consent or accounting.

8.2Joint Patents. To the extent any Joint Patent exists as of the Effective Date or is filed or issued thereafter:

(a)Cidara shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to prosecute and maintain all Joint Patents, at Cidara’s sole expense and by counsel selected by Cidara. In the event that Cidara desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any Joint Patent, Cidara shall provide written notice to Xxxxxxx of such intention to abandon promptly after Cidara makes such determination (which notice shall be given no later than 30 days prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to such Joint Patent in the relevant patent office). In such case, Xxxxxxx shall have the right, in its discretion, exercisable upon written notice to Cidara, to assume responsibility for prosecution and maintenance of such Joint Patent, at its sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice. Xxxxxxx will cooperate with Cidara and provide Cidara with reasonable assistance with such prosecution and maintenance activities with respect to Joint Patents; and

(b)Cidara shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any Infringement Action to enforce any Joint Patent with respect to Product Infringement with respect to CD388 or a CD388 Product, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. In the event Cidara brings an Infringement Action in accordance with this Section 8.2(b), Xxxxxxx shall cooperate fully, including, if required to bring such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party. Cidara shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any action under this paragraph: (1) in a manner that would diminish the rights or interests of Xxxxxxx without the written consent of Xxxxxxx, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (2) that would impose any cost or liability on Xxxxxxx, or admit the invalidity or unenforceability of any Janssen Patent, without Xxxxxxx’x prior written consent, which may be withheld in Xxxxxxx’x sole discretion. With respect to any Infringement of a Joint Patent that is not a Product Infringement with respect to CD388 or a CD388 Product, the Parties shall mutually agree in writing how to proceed.

8.3Recoveries from Enforcement Actions. Any recovery realized by Cidara as a result of an Infringement Action brought and controlled by Cidara, whether by way of settlement or otherwise, that is specifically attributable to Product Infringement solely with respect to CD388 or a CD388 Product, after deduction of all of Cidara’s documented, previously-unreimbursed out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court, attorneys’ and professional fees) incurred in connection with such Infringement Action, shall be [***].

9.Confidentiality

9.1Confidentiality. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, each Party agrees that, during the Term and for

seven years thereafter, a Party (the “Receiving Party”) receiving or otherwise in possession of (itself or through its Affiliates) Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) or its Affiliates shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose, other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement, any such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may use Confidential Information only to the extent expressly authorized by, or required to accomplish the purposes of, this Agreement, including exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own, but no less than reasonable care, to ensure that its, and its Affiliates’, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, contractors and other representatives (“Representatives”) do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. For clarity, and notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement or the Collaboration Agreement to the contrary:

(a)all Data generated during the Collaboration Term and all [***] will be considered the Confidential Information of Cidara, and Cidara shall be deemed the Disclosing Party and Xxxxxxx shall be deemed the Receiving Party with respect thereto;

(b)all Xxxxxxx Know-How other than any Xxxxxxx Know-How within the scope of the preceding paragraph (a) will be considered the Confidential Information of Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxx shall be deemed the Disclosing Party and Cidara shall be deemed the Receiving Party with respect thereto;

(c)all Cidara Know-How shall be considered the Confidential Information of Cidara, and Cidara shall be deemed the Disclosing Party and Xxxxxxx shall be deemed the Receiving Party with respect thereto; and

(d)all Joint Technology shall be considered the Confidential Information of both Parties, and each Party shall be deemed both a Disclosing Party and a Receiving Party with respect thereto.

9.2Exceptions. Confidential Information shall not include any information that the Receiving Party can prove by competent evidence: (a) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement, generally known or available; (b) is known by the Receiving Party at the time of receiving such information, as evidenced by its records, provided that the foregoing exception shall not apply to Xxxxxxx as the deemed Receiving Party with respect to Data generated during the Collaboration Term, AVC Improvement Know-How and Manufacturing Improvement Know-How; (c) is hereafter furnished to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis by a Third Party, as a matter of right (i.e., without breaching any obligation such Third Party may have to the Disclosing Party); or (d) is independently discovered or developed by the Receiving Party, independently of the activities undertaken by the Receiving Party pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement and this Agreement and without the use of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s contemporaneously-maintained written records.

For purposes of clause (a) of this Section 9.2, no combination of elements within the Confidential Information shall be deemed to be generally known or available merely because the individual elements of such combination are generally known or available, unless the entire combination itself, or the entire principle of use or operation of such combination (if any), is generally known or available. In addition, no element within the Confidential Information shall be deemed to be generally known or available merely because it is embraced by more general information or data that is generally known or available.

9.3Authorized Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information as expressly permitted by this Agreement, or if and to the extent such disclosure is necessary in the following instances:

(a)filing or prosecuting Patent Rights as permitted by this Agreement;

(b)enforcing such Party’s rights under this Agreement and performing its obligations under this Agreement;

(c)prosecuting or defending litigation as permitted by this Agreement;

(d)complying with applicable court orders or Applicable Laws, or the listing rules of any exchange on which such Party’s securities are traded;

(e)in INDs, Marketing Approval Applications and other applications for Regulatory Approvals that the Receiving Party has the right to file, or holds, as expressly set forth in this Agreement;

(f)disclosure to the Receiving Party’s Affiliates and, in the case of Cidara, to (Sub)licensees and potential (Sub)licensees, and to the Receiving Party’s and its Affiliates’ Representatives who, in each case, need to know such information in order for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, provided, in each case, that any such Affiliate, actual or potential (Sub)licensee, or Representative agrees to be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Article 9; and

(g)disclosure to Third Parties in connection with due diligence or similar investigations by such Third Parties, and disclosure to potential Third Party investors or other financing sources in confidential financing documents, provided, in each case, that any such Third Party agrees to be bound by reasonable obligations of confidentiality and non-use.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Receiving Party is required to make a disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 9.3(c) or 9.3(d), it will, except where impracticable or legally impermissible, (i) give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure, (ii) use efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information at least as diligent as the Receiving Party would use to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts, and (iii) cooperate with any efforts by the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s request and expense, to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information. Disclosure by the Receiving Party of

Confidential Information in accordance with any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.3 shall not, in and of itself, cause the information so disclosed to cease to be treated as Confidential Information under this Agreement, except to the extent that, by virtue of disclosure by the Receiving Party in full compliance with this Section 9.3, such information becomes generally known or available.

9.4Confidentiality of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9, each Party agrees not to disclose to any Third Party the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, except that each Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement that are otherwise made public as contemplated by Section 9.5 or to the extent such disclosure is permitted under Section 9.3.

9.5Public Announcements.

(a)The Parties have agreed upon the content of a press release which shall be issued by Cidara (or jointly by the Parties, if mutually agreed) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, the release of which the Parties will coordinate in order to accomplish the same promptly upon execution and delivery of this Agreement. Except to the extent already disclosed in a press release or other public communication issued in accordance with this Agreement, no public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions described herein shall be made, either directly or indirectly, by either Party or its Affiliates, except as may be required by Applicable Law (including disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)), judicial order, or stock exchange or quotation system rule, without first obtaining the approval of the other Party and agreement upon the nature, text and timing of such announcement, which approval and agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Party desiring to make any such voluntary public announcement shall provide the other Party with a written copy of the proposed announcement in reasonably sufficient time prior to public release to allow the other Party to comment upon such announcement, prior to public release. In the case of press releases or other public communications required to be made by law, judicial order or stock exchange or quotation system rule, the Party making such press release or public announcement shall provide to the other Party a copy of the proposed press release or public announcement in written or electronic form upon such advance notice as is practicable under the circumstances for the purpose of allowing the notified Party to review and comment upon such press release or public announcement. Under such circumstances, the releasing Party shall not be obligated to delay making any such press release or public communication beyond the time when the same is required to be made. Neither Party shall be required to seek the permission of the other Party to repeat any information regarding the terms of this Agreement or any amendment hereto that has already been publicly disclosed by such Party or by the other Party in accordance with this Section 9.5(a); provided that such information remains accurate as of such time and provided the frequency and form of such disclosure are reasonable.

(b)Each Party may make public statements regarding this Agreement in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst calls, provided that any such public statement or press release: (i) is not

inconsistent with prior public disclosures or public statements made in accordance with Section 9.5(a) or as permitted by Section 9.3; and (ii) does not reveal (A) information regarding the terms of this Agreement that have not previously been disclosed in accordance with Section 9.5(a) or as permitted by Section 9.3 or (B) non-public information about the other Party.

(c)The Parties shall coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the filing of this Agreement (including redaction of certain provisions of this Agreement) with the SEC or other governmental agency or any stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party or its Affiliate are traded, and neither Party shall make any such filing unless the Parties have mutually agreed upon the provisions to be redacted (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld). Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to seek and obtain confidential treatment for the provisions of this Agreement that the Parties mutually agree to redact from such filing; provided that each Party shall ultimately retain ultimate discretion to disclose such information to the SEC or any stock exchange or other governmental agency (as the case may be) as such Party determines, based on advice of legal counsel, is required to be so disclosed. Except as expressly set forth in this Article 9, neither Party (or its Affiliates) shall be obligated to consult with or obtain approval from the other Party with respect to any filings with the SEC or any stock exchange or other governmental agency where such filings do not disclose Confidential Information of the other Party.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.5 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the Effective Date, Cidara shall be free to make public announcements, issue press releases and make other public statements, in any medium, regarding the Development, Commercialization or other exploitation by or on behalf of Cidara, its Affiliates and (Sub)licensees of Compounds (including CD388) and Products, without prior review or approval by Xxxxxxx and without notice to Xxxxxxx, subject only to clause (ii) of Section 9.5(b).

9.6Publication. Cidara shall have the sole right to publish results and information (including Data) regarding Compounds and Products, including manuscripts, oral presentations and abstracts, provided that such publications are subject to reasonable controls to protect Confidential Information of Xxxxxxx. Accordingly, if any material proposed for disclosure or publication by Cidara, such as by oral presentation, manuscript or abstract, includes Confidential Information of Xxxxxxx, then, before such material is submitted for publication or disclosure (other than oral presentation materials and abstracts, which are addressed below), and subject to the foregoing, Cidara shall deliver a complete copy of such material proposed for publication to Xxxxxxx at least 45 days prior to submitting the material to a publisher or initiating such other disclosure, and Xxxxxxx shall review any such material and give its comments to Cidara within 30 days of the delivery of such material to Xxxxxxx. With respect to oral presentation materials and abstracts that include Confidential Information of Xxxxxxx, Cidara shall deliver a complete copy of such materials or abstracts proposed for publication to Xxxxxxx at least 21 days prior to the anticipated date of the submission or presentation, and Xxxxxxx shall make reasonable efforts to expedite review of such materials and abstracts, and shall return such items as soon as practicable to Cidara with appropriate comments, if any, but in no event later than 14 days from

the date of delivery to Xxxxxxx. Cidara shall comply with Xxxxxxx’x request to delete references to Xxxxxxx’x Confidential Information in any such material.

11.1Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 11, shall expire upon Cidara’s payment to Xxxxxxx of all Development/Regulatory Milestone Payments and Sales Milestone Payments under this Agreement.

11.2Termination for Material Breach. A Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (except as expressly set forth below in this Section 11.2) upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party is in material breach of this Agreement and has not cured such breach within [***] (or [***] with respect to any payment breach) after notice from the first Party requesting cure of the breach. Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such [***] (or [***] with respect to any payment breach as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 11.2) period unless the breaching Party has cured such breach prior to the end of such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such material breach (other than a material breach arising from a failure to make a payment) cannot be reasonably cured during the foregoing cure period, but is capable of cure within [***], then the breaching Party may submit to the non-breaching Party a reasonable cure plan to remedy such material breach that is reasonably acceptable to the non-breaching Party, and upon such submission, the applicable cure period will automatically be extended for so long as the breaching Party continues to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such material breach in accordance with such cure plan, but for no more than [***] from receipt of notice of such breach (subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth below). Any right to terminate under this Section 11.2 shall be stayed and the cure period tolled in the event that, during any cure period, the Party alleged to have been in material breach shall have initiated dispute resolution in accordance with Article 13 with respect to the alleged breach, which stay and tolling shall continue until such dispute has been resolved in accordance with Article 13.

11.3Termination for Bankruptcy.

12.2By Xxxxxxx. Xxxxxxx will indemnify, defend and hold Cidara and its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Cidara Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all Losses to which any Cidara Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claim to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) the practice by Xxxxxxx or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees of the “License” (as such term is defined in the Collaboration Agreement) during the Collaboration Term; (b) the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Compounds or Products by or on behalf of Janssen or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees during the Collaboration Term; (c) the breach by Xxxxxxx of any provision of the Collaboration Agreement or this Agreement (including any

12.3Procedure. In the event that a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) seeks indemnification under Section 12.1 or 12.2, the Indemnified Party shall: (a) inform the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of a Claim as soon as reasonably practicable after it receives notice of the Claim (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Claim as provided in this Section 12.3 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually damaged as a result of such failure to give notice); (b) permit the Indemnifying Party to assume direction and control of the defense of the Claim (including the right to settle the Claim solely for monetary consideration); and (c) cooperate as requested (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) in the defense of the Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense within 15 days after receiving notice of the Claim from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may control such defense and, without limiting the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending itself within 30 days after receipt of any invoice therefor from the Indemnified Party. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or that acknowledges fault by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

12.4Insurance. During the Term and for a period of not less than three years thereafter, each Party, at its own expense, shall maintain (a) general liability insurance including product liability-completed operations coverage or separately maintain product liability-completed operations insurance that, on its own or together with an umbrella policy, is in an amount not less than [***] per occurrence, and (b) clinical trial insurance in full compliance with local regulations for all clinical studies it sponsors. In the event clinical trial insurance is not required by local insurance regulations, each Party’s products-completed operations insurance shall provide coverage for products undergoing clinical study. Xxxxxxx shall have the right to self-insure all such coverage. Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance (or evidence of self-insurance) evidencing such coverage to the other Party upon request.

13.Dispute Resolution

13.1Exclusive Dispute Resolution Mechanism. The Parties agree that, except as expressly set forth in Section 13.4, the procedures set forth in this Article 13 shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving any dispute, controversy, or claim between the Parties that may arise from time to time pursuant to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any Party’s rights or obligations hereunder or any questions regarding the formation, existence, validity, enforceability, performance, interpretation, tort, breach or termination hereof (collectively, “Disputes”) that cannot be resolved through good faith negotiation between the Parties.

13.2Resolution by Senior Executives. In the event of any Dispute, the Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation and consultation. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved through such negotiation within 30 days after either Party’s request, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, refer the Dispute to the Chief Executive Officer of Cidara and the J&J Global Head of Communicable Diseases R&D for Xxxxxxx, or their respective designees with decision-making authority (in each case, such Party’s “Senior Executive”) for attempted resolution by good faith negotiation between the Senior Executives within 30 days after such notice is received. Except as set forth in Section 13.4, if any Dispute is not resolved by the Senior Executives within the above 30-day period, either Party may, in its sole discretion, seek resolution of such Dispute in accordance with Section 13.3, and each Party hereby expressly waives its right to seek resolution of such Dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction.

13.3Arbitration.

(a)With respect to any Disputes that are not resolved by the Senior Executives in accordance with Section 13.2, the Dispute shall be submitted by either Party for resolution in arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its then current Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), except where they conflict with this Section 13.3, in which case this Section 13.3 shall control.

(b)The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA Rules by an arbitral tribunal of three neutral arbitrators; provided that: (i) no such arbitrator shall be current or former employee or director, or current stockholder, of either Party, any of their respective Affiliates or any (Sub)licensee; (ii) each arbitrator shall have experience and familiarity with commercial licensing practices in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries; and (iii) each arbitrator shall be a lawyer with at least 15 years’ experience with a law firm or corporate law department of over 25 lawyers or who was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction. Each Party shall be entitled to nominate one arbitrator. The other Party may object to the nomination on grounds of bias, lack of subject matter experience, or any other legitimate grounds. AAA will be the final decision maker if there is a dispute over the objection. Once the Party-nominated arbitrators are established, the two Party-nominated arbitrators shall nominate a third arbitrator, who shall act as chairperson. Each arbitrator shall abide by the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes.

(c)The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be New York, New York, and the language used in any such proceeding shall be English.

(d)Any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et. seq.). The arbitrator(s) shall be guided, but not bound, by the CPR Protocol on Disclosure of Documents and Presentation of Witnesses in Commercial Arbitration (xxx.xxxxxx.xxx) (“Protocol”). The Parties will attempt to agree on modes of document disclosure, electronic discovery, witness presentation, etc. within the parameters of the Protocol. If the Parties cannot agree on discovery and presentation issues, the arbitrator(s) shall decide on presentation modes and provide for discovery within the Protocol, understanding that the Parties contemplate reasonable discovery. The arbitral tribunal shall, in rendering an award, apply the substantive law of the State of New York, USA, without giving effect to any conflicts of law provisions thereof that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction, and without giving effect to any of its rules or laws relating to arbitration. The award shall include a written statement describing the essential findings and conclusions upon which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitral tribunal’s authority to award special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages or lost profits shall be subject to the limitation set forth in Section 10.8, except to the extent the substantive laws of the State of New York, USA, do not permit such limitation.

(e)Except to the extent necessary to confirm or enforce an award or as may be required by Applicable Law, neither a Party nor the arbitral tribunal may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties.

(f)The award rendered by the arbitral tribunal shall be final, binding and non-appealable (subject only to the Parties’ right to request correction of any errors in computation, clerical or typographical errors, or other errors of a similar nature, and the arbitral tribunal’s right to make any such correction on its own initiative, in each case, in accordance with the AAA Rules), and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(g)Each Party shall bear its own costs and attorney’s fees, and the Parties shall equally bear the fees, costs, and expenses of the arbitrators and the arbitration proceedings, including costs and expenses of translators for the arbitration proceedings; provided, however, that the arbitrators may exercise discretion to award arbitration costs and translation costs, excluding attorney’s fees, to the prevailing Party.

13.4Injunctive Relief; Court Actions. Either Party may apply to the arbitral tribunal for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or other equitable relief in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm, and such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing discussions between the Parties or any ongoing arbitration proceeding. In addition, either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes pertaining to the scope, construction, validity, and enforceability of any patent, and no such claim shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 13.3.

Cidara Therapeutics Reacquires Global Development and Commercial Rights to CD388 and Announces Private Placement Financing of $240 Million

-$240 million private placement financing led by RA Capital Management with significant participation by Xxxx Capital Life Sciences as well as BVF Partners and Canaan Partners to fund Phase 2b clinical trial

-CD388, which is active against all strains of influenza A and B, is being developed for pre-exposure prophylactic treatment

SAN DIEGO, April 24, 2024 – Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDTX), a biotechnology company using its proprietary Cloudbreak® platform to develop drug-Fc conjugate (DFC) immunotherapies designed to save lives and improve the standard of care for patients facing serious diseases, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Xxxxxxx & Johnson1 to reacquire the exclusive global development and commercial rights to CD388, which is in development for the prevention of all strains of influenza A and B.

Concurrent with the acquisition, Cidara closed a definitive agreement for the sale of preferred stock in a private placement led by RA Capital Management, with significant participation from Xxxx Capital Life Sciences, Biotech Value Fund (BVF), and Canaan Partners. The private placement provides $240 million in gross proceeds that will be used by Cidara to develop CD388 as a universal preventative against seasonal and pandemic influenza A and B, beginning with a Phase 2b clinical trial in the upcoming Northern Hemisphere influenza season. The proceeds from the private placement fund the upfront payment under the agreement with Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx and are expected to provide runway beyond topline data from CD388’s Phase 2b trial.

CD388 is a long-acting antiviral investigational drug invented and developed by Cidara that became the subject of an exclusive worldwide license and collaboration agreement established with Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx in April 2021. In September 2023, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx delivered to Cidara an Election to Proceed Notice and associated milestone payment for CD388 before beginning a process to transfer its rights and obligations under the agreement to another entity.

In connection with the private placement, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Ph.D., Managing Director at RA Capital Management, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Ph.D. have been appointed to Xxxxxx’s board of directors, while Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Ph.D. and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, M.D. will be stepping down. “I thank Xxxxx and Xxx for their invaluable contributions, which have helped facilitate this opportunity for Cidara,” said Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Ph.X., President and Chief Executive Officer of Cidara.

Xx. Xxxxx continued, “This reacquisition of CD388, along with the capital to advance it through Phase 2b development, is transformational for Cidara and especially for those who could benefit from a long-acting, universal preventative against all forms of influenza. In our Phase 2b study later this year, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD388 in providing season-long, universal protection from influenza. We believe that CD388 may have significant advantages beyond and in addition to flu vaccines, with the potential for universal

protection even in the absence of a robust immune response and without the requirement for seasonal influenza strain prediction.”

All responsibility for future development, manufacturing, and commercialization activities of CD388 will be assumed by Cidara. In exchange for reacquiring the exclusive global development and commercial rights to CD388, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx has received from Cidara a one-time upfront payment of $85 million and is eligible to receive potential additional development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments.

“We have followed the development of CD388 over time with great interest,” said Xx. Xxxxxxxxx. “As stage-agnostic company builders, we were excited to catalyze this reacquisition and financing – and to leverage the company-building capabilities of our RAVen incubator to support Cidara.”

“The support from this top-tier syndicate of new and existing investors highlights our enthusiasm and potential for CD388, the most advanced member of our Cloudbreak DFC pipeline and the new focus of the company,” added Xx. Xxxxx. “We expect that the capital infusion from this financing, together with existing cash and the expected near-term cost savings associated with our recently announced divestiture of rezafungin to Mundipharma, positions us well to execute on the CD388 development program and advance the key assets in our pipeline.”

About CD388

CD388 is an investigational drug-Fc conjugate (DFC) comprised of multiple copies of a potent small molecule neuraminidase inhibitor stably conjugated to a proprietary Fc fragment of a human antibody. DFCs are not vaccines or monoclonal antibodies but are low molecular weight biologics which are designed to function as long-acting small molecule inhibitors. CD388 was designed to provide universal protection against all known strains of seasonal and pandemic influenza with the potential to provide season-long protection with a single subcutaneous or intramuscular administration. Importantly, because CD388 is not a vaccine, its activity is not reliant on an immune response and thereby is expected to be efficacious in individuals regardless of immune status.
