Each of RRD and Eiger is a “Party” and together they are the “Parties.” When signed by both Parties, this Agreement will set forth the terms and conditions under which RRD agrees to provide certain product development services to Eiger as set forth herein.

Recitals:

WHEREAS, Eiger is engaged in the development and commercialization of novel pharmaceutical products.

WHEREAS, RRD provides strategic product development services for the development of pharmaceutical products by utilizing a Product Development Team (“PDT”) structure that functions similarly to a biopharma’s PDT and includes senior-level experts who are fully engaged in product development strategy and planning.

WHEREAS, RRD’s model is specifically structured to create a strong alignment of interests between RRD and its clients, while accelerating and streamlining the development process. Within this framework, the RRD team will function as the part of the Eiger PDT and will provide engagement, oversight, and management of third-party Clinical Research Organizations (“CROs”) and vendors, in each case, to the extent requested by Eiger.

WHEREAS, Eiger desires to engage the services of RRD for the development of certain products, with such services to be described and agreed upon by the Parties within the Project Agreements (as defined below).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1.	Project Agreements.

As a “master” form of contract, this Agreement allows the Parties to contract for multiple projects through multiple Project Agreements, without having to renegotiate the basic terms and conditions herein.

The specific details of each assignment or task for the development of each individual Eiger product will be separately negotiated and specified in a written project agreement (each, a “Project Agreement”) on terms acceptable to the Parties.

Upon execution by RRD and Eiger, each Project Agreement shall constitute an integral part of this Agreement. Each Project Agreement will include substantially all of the information relating to the specific services to be conducted by RRD (as related to each Project Agreement, the “Services”) including the items listed in Section 1.D, below. No Services shall be commenced or performed by RRD, and neither Party shall be obligated with respect to any assignment or task, until an applicable Project Agreement is executed by both Parties, nor shall either Party be obligated to enter into any Project Agreement hereunder. Each Project Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in addition to the specific details set forth in the Project Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and

any Project Agreement, this Agreement shall control. Any changes to a Project Agreement must be made in writing and signed by the Parties. RRD shall perform all Services under any Project Agreement in a diligent, professional and timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such applicable Project Agreement and all applicable laws and regulations.

Each Project Agreement shall contain the following exhibits as listed below as more specifically described herein:

Description of Services

2.	Overview of Development.

Generally.

(1)

RRD and Eiger shall enter into a separate Project Agreement for each Eiger product/indication that shall be developed pursuant to this Product Development Agreement.

(2)

Each Project Agreement shall contain all of the information, available as of the date of execution thereof, that is necessary to describe the goals and objectives (including cost) of the applicable product development program (the “Program”). During the initial [***] of the term of each Project Agreement, the Parties will work diligently and in good faith to refine (including amending, to the extent necessary) the initial Clinical Development Plan and Development Budget. Approximately [***] following commencement of the applicable Project Agreement, or upon the next meeting of the Development Advisory Committee (as defined in Section 2(B)(3)), the Development Advisory Committee shall review and formally approve (pursuant to the approval procedures described in the Development Advisory Committee Charter (as defined in Section 2(B)(3)) attached to the respective Project Agreement) the most recently submitted Clinical Development Plan and Development Budget, or shall request specific changes thereto (pursuant to the procedures described in the Development Advisory Committee Charter attached to the respective Project Agreement) which, when incorporated into the Clinical Development Plan and/or Development Budget, will render such documents approved without further action by the Development Advisory Committee. Thereafter, the Clinical Development Plan and Development Budget shall continue to be developed, refined and amended (pursuant to the approval procedures described in the Development Advisory Committee Charter attached to the respective Project Agreement), as necessary by the Development Advisory Committee, in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Project Agreement, throughout the term of the Project Agreement.

(3)

Utilizing the RRD Product Development Team (as defined in Section 2(B)(2)), RRD shall conduct the Services for each Program in accordance with the joint decision-making process, as set forth in the Development Advisory Committee Charter for that particular Program.

(4)

RRD shall have responsibility for the conduct of the Services and for all matters designated to RRD in this Agreement and in the Project Agreement (including the Clinical Development Plan) and, to the extent included in the Project Agreement, may engage Development Vendors (as defined below), consultants, contractors and agents external to the RRD Product Development Team (“RRD Consultants and Subcontractors”), as deemed necessary by the Parties, with the prior agreement of Eiger, to carry out such assigned duties set forth therein and herein consistent with the Section 4 (RRD Responsibilities). Eiger hereby acknowledges that while RRD may provide advice and guidance in the negotiation of vendor contracts between Eiger and one or more third parties with respect to the Program, and RRD and RRD-contracted attorneys may be part of the PDT, under no circumstances will RRD be expected by Eiger to provide legal advice or legal services and no attorney-client relationship is created or shall exist between the Parties under this Agreement.

(5)

The consideration to be paid by Eiger to RRD for the Services will be based upon: (a) the PDT service fees; and (b) the RRD Consultants and Subcontractors and pass-through costs, to the extent such service fees and pass-through costs are included in the Development Budget for the particular Project Agreement.

Project Specific Exhibits to the Project Agreements.

(1)

Initial Protocol Assumptions. The Initial Protocol Assumptions exhibit to each Project Agreement shall represent the understanding of the Parties as to the requirements of the Program as of the date of the Project Agreement.

(2)

RRD Product Development Team.

The RRD Product Development Team exhibit for each Project Agreement shall list the staff and personnel intended to be retained or used by RRD in providing the Services (the “RRD Product Development Team”). RRD shall not change key staff and personnel on RRD Product Development Team without consulting with Eiger. If any staff or personnel on RRD Product Development Team is no longer employed by RRD or otherwise no longer available, RRD shall promptly notify Eiger and shall use diligent efforts to find a suitable replacement. Per the specific Project Agreement, RRD will assume both responsibility and accountability for the Project. The model provides for a fully-integrated, multi-functional PDT deployed on a fractional FTE basis with the flexibility of scaling up or down based upon the Clinical Development Plan and the Development Budget.

(3)

Development Advisory Committee Charter.

The Parties shall establish and maintain a separate committee (the "Development Advisory Committee") to oversee the development of each of the Programs (including the ongoing development and refinement of the Clinical Development Plan and the Development Budget). The Development Advisory Committee shall be established, operated and governed in accordance with the policies and procedures set forth in the "Development Advisory Committee Charter", attached to each Project Agreement. The Development Advisory Committee Charter may be amended only with the unanimous approval of the Development

Advisory Committee Members. In no event shall the Development Advisory Committee have the power to amend the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Project Agreement.

(4)

Clinical Development Plan.

An initial version of a Clinical Development Plan shall be prepared by the PDT and formally approved by the Development Advisory Committee (“DAC”), according to a time line agreed to by the DAC, which is generally expected to be within [***] after the execution of the Project Agreement. The Clinical Development Plan shall describe the Services to be conducted under the Project Agreement (specifically excluding IP work) including: preclinical pharmacology and toxicology, regulatory, CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls), and clinical (including clinical pharmacology). The Clinical Development Plan will also include project timeline and budget information. The exact level of detail to be included in the initial version of the Clinical Development Plan will be proposed by the PDT and agreed to by the DAC. The Plan is generally prepared using PowerPoint and will have appendices containing appropriate supportive information.

The Clinical Development Plan is intended to be updated periodically to reflect changes. The PDT shall, on an ongoing basis, evaluate if changes to the Clinical Development Plan are necessary and will propose such changes to the DAC in accordance with the approval procedures described in the Development Advisory Committee Charter.

(5)

Development Budget.

The “Development Budget” directly associated with each Project Agreement shall consist of two (2) components: (i) PDT service fees, and (ii) RRD Consultant and Subcontractor costs and other pass-through costs, in a format and level of detail to be agreed upon by the DAC.

The DAC shall formally approve (in accordance with the approval procedures described in the Development Advisory Committee Charter) a draft Development Budget (which shall include RRD Consultants and Subcontractors and pass-through cost estimates ([***])) approximately [***] after the execution of the related Project Agreement based upon the initial Development Budget/estimate, as well as information gathered during the [***] following execution of the Project Agreement, and such draft Development Budget will be proposed to, and approved by, Eiger. The DAC may propose and submit to Eiger for its approval changes to the Development Budget from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. All anticipated expenditures under the Project Agreement shall be included in the Development Budget.

Separate budgets for the Development Vendors (as defined below) will be reviewed with the Development Budget by the DAC, in context of the overall program budget.

(6)

Payment Terms. Any specific payment terms, if any, that are applicable to a Project shall be included in the exhibit to the respective Project Agreement.

(7)

Description of Services. All Services to be conducted by RRD in connection with each Product shall be included and described in the exhibit to the Project Agreement.

Amendments to the Clinical Development Plan and Budget.

(1)

Any amendments to, and all material deviations from, the Clinical Development Plan and/or the Development Budget (including amendments or deviations made at the request of RRD

or Eiger) shall be made in accordance with the procedures described herein and the approval procedures described in the Development Advisory Committee Charter attached to the respective Project Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amendments to, and all material deviations from the Clinical Development Plan and/or the Development Budget shall require the prior written approval of Eiger, subject to RRD’s rights to terminate herein and in any relevant Project Agreement.

(2)

The DAC shall perform a comprehensive review of the Clinical Development Plan and Development Budget, at a minimum, on a semi-annual basis to determine whether any changes are required, and shall comply with all procedures required to amend the Clinical Development Plan or Development Budget and to implement such changes as described above. The DAC shall, on an ongoing basis, continue to refine the Clinical Development Plan and Development Budget, including, without limitation, in response to requests, proposals or reports from Eiger and RRD to the DAC. The DAC shall review and recommend such change(s) for approval by Eiger within the next [***] period, or shall request specific changes thereto.

(3)

The Clinical Development Plan shall not be amended in any manner that would require Eiger or RRD (or any person acting on behalf of Eiger or RRD) to perform any assignments or tasks in a manner that would violate any applicable law or regulation. In the event of a change in any applicable law or regulation that materially affects the conduct of the Clinical Development Plan, the DAC shall consider amending the Clinical Development Plan to enable Eiger or RRD (or any person acting on behalf of Eiger or RRD), as the case may be, to comply fully with such law or regulation. If such amendment is not approved, the affected Party shall be excused from performing any activity specified herein or in the Clinical Development Plan that would violate or result in a violation of the applicable law or regulation.

(4)

All changes to the Clinical Development Plan and/or Development Budget (including any components thereof) made pursuant to this Agreement and the Development Advisory Committee Charter shall have the effect of an amendment to the applicable Project Agreement as it applies to the Clinical Development Plan and/or Development Budget contained therein.

Compensation. The consideration to be paid by Eiger to RRD for its conduct of the Services will consist of (a) a fixed fee to be paid for the Services conducted by the PDT, (b) Expert Consultant Fees, and (c) pass through costs to be paid for the RRD Consultants and Subcontractors engaged by RRD to conduct Services, in each case to the extent identified in the Development Budget for the particular Project Agreement. Payment Terms shall be attached to each relevant Project Agreement. RRD is solely responsible for filing all tax returns and submitting all tax payments as required by any federal, state, local, or foreign tax authority arising from the payment received by RRD under this Agreement, and agrees to do so in a timely manner. If applicable, Eiger will report the payments to RRD under this Agreement by filing Form 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue Service as required by law.

4.	RRD Obligations.

Generally.

(1)

RRD shall have primary, but not sole, responsibility for implementing the Clinical Development Plan.

9.	Confidentiality.

It is understood that during the course of this Agreement, RRD and Eiger may each receive from the other Party data and information (including, without limitation, computer programs, technical drawings, algorithms, know-how, formulas, processes, ideas, inventions (whether patentable or not), schematics and other technical, business, financial, customer and product development plans, forecasts, strategies and information) that is either confidential or proprietary to the disclosing Party. All such data and information, whether written or verbal, tangible or intangible, made available, disclosed or otherwise made known by a Party to the recipient Party (including its employees) pursuant to this Agreement (including in connection with activities with respect to any Project Agreement) shall (except as otherwise provided below) be considered confidential and shall be considered the sole property of the disclosing Party and shall hereinafter be referred to as “Confidential Information.” For clarity, all Eiger Information, Records, Reports, data and results generated from the Program shall be Confidential Information of Eiger for purposes of this Agreement and RRD shall be deemed the recipient Party of such information that it actually receives or generates (notwithstanding the fact that such information is generated and disclosed by RRD to Eiger).

Confidential Information of the disclosing Party shall be used by the receiving Party only for purposes of performing the receiving Party’s obligations or exercising its rights hereunder. Each Party agrees that it will not reveal, publish or otherwise disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party; provided, however, that each of RRD and Eiger may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to persons within their respective organizations and to their respective contractors, consultants, attorneys, advisors and collaborators that have a need to receive such Confidential Information in order to further the purposes of this Agreement or any particular Project

Agreement and that are bound to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential information pursuant to terms no less stringent than those described herein. RRD and Eiger have or shall obtain agreements that impose at least comparable confidentiality obligations as those contained in this Agreement with all parties who are permitted access to the other Party’s Confidential Information under this Agreement or any Project Agreement.

The foregoing obligations shall not apply to Confidential Information to the extent that it:

(1)

is, at the time of disclosure by the disclosing Party hereunder, or thereafter becomes, generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the receiving Party;

(2)

becomes available to the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party source that is not prohibited from disclosing such information; or

(3)

was developed independently of any disclosure by the disclosing Party and without access or reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or was known to the receiving Party prior to its receipt from the disclosing Party, in each case as shown by contemporaneous written evidence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a receiving Party may disclose specific Confidential Information of the other Party to the extent that such disclosure is required by law, regulation or valid court order to be disclosed; provided, however, in the event that receiving Party or receiving Party’s representatives become legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party, such receiving Party (a) will provide disclosing Party with reasonable notice so that disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of the Agreement and (b) will disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that it is advised by opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable to disclosing Party) is legally required (in accordance with any applicable protective order or other order) and will endeavor to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so furnished.

These obligations of confidentiality, nondisclosure and non-use shall remain in effect until [***] after the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement.

10.	Ownership and Inventions.

All data and information generated or derived by RRD as the result of Services performed by RRD under this Agreement shall be and remain the exclusive property of Eiger.

RRD hereby assigns and shall assign its rights in all such data, information, inventions and/or related patents and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “Eiger Program IP”) to Eiger without compensation except for RRD’s reasonable time and expenses related to any additional time or expenses required above and beyond the general assignment provided in this paragraph. RRD shall notify Eiger in writing of any and all Eiger Program IP promptly after its conception, identification, development or reduction to practice. RRD agrees to take, and to cause its employees, agents, consultants and permitted subcontractors to take, at Eiger’s reasonable request and reasonable expense, all further acts reasonably required to evidence, effect or perfect such assignment and transfer to Eiger and to obtain intellectual property right protection for the Eiger Program IP.

11.

In the event that such disclosure is required as aforesaid, the disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with notice beforehand and coordinate with the other Party with respect to the wording and timing of any such disclosure.

12.

Independent Contractor Relationship. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Parties are independent contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create any joint venture, principal and agent, employer/employee or partnership relationship between RRD and Eiger, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that RRD is acting as an independent contractor in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it shall have no power or right to bind or obligate the other Party, other than through the express terms of this Agreement that grant such power or right, and neither Party shall hold itself out as having such authority.

If Eiger has pre-paid to RRD more than the amount due RRD in the final invoice, then RRD agrees to refund such excess amount to Eiger.

Consequences of Project Agreement Termination. Additional consequences of termination (if any) for each Project Agreement shall be addressed separately in each individual Project Agreement.

16.	Transition Following Termination.

In the Event RRD Acts as IND Sponsor.

RRD shall provide copies of all such subcontracting agreements to Eiger, at Eiger’ reasonable expense, in connection with such transfer. RRD agrees to take such commercially reasonable actions as Eiger may request in furtherance of the foregoing, at the expense of Eiger. Such efforts shall not include any obligation for RRD to incur any out-of-pocket costs that are not reimbursable by Eiger.

17.	Miscellaneous.

Force Majeure.
