2.2. Grants to MedImmune. Licensee hereby grants to MedImmune and its Affiliates: (a)Β a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable license and right of reference, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers of sublicensees and further rights of reference under Licenseeβs interests in the Assigned Regulatory Documentation and the Licensee Regulatory Documentation; and (b)Β a non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers of sublicensees, to use the Product Trademarks (as such use is approved by Licensee in advance in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in each case ((a) and (b)), solely (x)Β to Exploit the AstraZeneca Product and any AstraZeneca Product Improvements and (y)Β to perform or exercise MedImmuneβs obligations or rights under this Agreement and for no other purpose.
2.3. Sublicenses.
2.3.1. In General. Licensee shall have the right to grant sublicenses (or further rights of reference), through multiple tiers of sublicensees, under the license and rights of reference granted in SectionΒ 2.1, to its Affiliates and Third Parties; provided that any such sublicenses shall be consistent with, and expressly made subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Licensee shall cause each Sublicensee to comply with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as applicable to Licensee hereunder (in each case, regardless of whether a particular term or condition of this Agreement makes express reference to Sublicensees), including, for clarity, SectionΒ 2.5.2, SectionΒ 3.5.5, SectionΒ 3.5.6, SectionΒ 3.5.7, SectionΒ 5.1.2, SectionΒ 5.1.6, SectionΒ 6.4, SectionΒ 6.5, SectionΒ 9.4.2 and SectionΒ 9.4.3. Licensee hereby (a)Β guarantees the performance of its Affiliates and Sublicensees and the grant of any such sublicense shall not relieve Licensee of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent they are satisfactorily performed by such Affiliate or Sublicensee and (b)Β waives any requirement that MedImmune exhaust any right, power or remedy, or proceed against any Affiliate or Sublicensee for any obligation or performance under this Agreement prior to proceeding directly against Licensee. A copy of any sublicense agreement executed by Licensee pursuant to which Licensee sublicenses any license or rights of reference granted hereunder shall be provided to MedImmune within [***] after its execution; provided that the terms of any such sublicense agreement to the extent not pertinent to an understanding of a Partyβs obligations or benefits under this Agreement may be redacted.

and the scope of the Sublicense that Licensee proposes to grant to such proposed Sublicensee (a βStandby License Requestβ). If Licensee delivers a Standby License Request to MedImmune, the Parties shall promptly engage in good faith discussions with Licensee regarding the terms and conditions pursuant to which MedImmune would consider agreeing to grant such Standby License, which terms and conditions shall at a minimum include the following ((a) through (f), collectively, the βSurviving Sublicense Requirementsβ):
(a) an agreement by the proposed Sublicensee that, following such termination of this Agreement, such proposed Sublicensee will perform and continue to perform the relevant activities with respect to the Licensed Product(s) proposed to be sublicensed to it that Licensee would have been obligated to perform under this Agreement with respect to such Licensed Product(s) under this Agreement in the absence of such termination of this Agreement, in each case in the applicable Market(s) or to the extent otherwise reasonably necessary to enable Exploitation of the Licensed Product(s) for such Market(s);
(b) that MedImmune will not be required to assume any obligations or liabilities in respect of such Sublicense that are in addition to, or greater in scope than, MedImmuneβs obligations or liabilities set forth in this Agreement, unless MedImmune otherwise agrees in writing;
(c) an express acknowledgment and agreement by such proposed Sublicensee that, following such termination of this Agreement, the obligations of Licensee under this Agreement and the Pharmacovigilance Agreement (i)Β to the extent applicable to the rights and licenses granted to such Sublicensee and required by MedImmune pursuant to the Surviving Sublicense will be direct obligations of such Sublicensee to MedImmune (and that, without limitation to SectionΒ 9.6, termination of this Agreement in its entirety or in a Terminated Territory with respect to Licensee will not terminate such obligations with respect to such Sublicensee), and (ii)Β MedImmune will have the right to enforce (x)Β such obligations and (y)Β any terms of this Agreement which are otherwise applicable to such Sublicensee, in each case ((x) and (y)) directly against such Sublicensee;
(d) that, effective upon termination of this Agreement by MedImmune pursuant to SectionΒ 9.2.1 or SectionΒ 9.2.2, (i)Β any payment obligations to Licensee arising after such termination under such Sublicense in consideration for such Sublicense will become direct payment obligations of such Sublicensee to MedImmune, directly payable to MedImmune (it being understood, however, that, except with respect to any payments due as compensation for any performance obligations that MedImmune elects to assume or perform in connection with a Standby License, MedImmune would not be entitled to receive payments due to Licensee under such sublicense that are for value other than, and not in consideration for, such Sublicenseβ e.g., payments of Licenseeβs fully-burdened cost of performing bona fide research and development activities for or with such Sublicensee, reimbursements of reasonable and documented external costs incurred by Licensee in performing such activities, and payments for

equity or debt securities of Licensee or any of its Affiliates), and (ii)Β MedImmune will have the right to enforce such obligations directly against such Sublicensee;
(e) that in the event of any subsequent termination of any such Sublicense, MedImmune will automatically receive from such Sublicensee the full scope of rights provided in SectionΒ 9.4.2 or 9.4.3, as applicable, with respect to the applicable Licensed Product(s) in the applicable Market(s) as if such Sublicensee were subject to such terms without qualifying as having a βSurviving Sublicenseβ as such term is used in such sections; and
(f) that any rights afforded to such Sublicensee under any Standby License will require that any such Sublicensee remain in compliance with this Agreement and the applicable Sublicense.
MedImmune shall consider any such Standby License Request in good faith and shall provide Licensee with its decision as to whether MedImmune agrees to provide such Standby License within [***] from delivery of the applicable Standby License Request. MedImmune shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its agreement with respect to the grant of a Standby License (it being understood, without limitation, that MedImmune may not condition its agreement with respect to such Standby License on the payment by Licensee, its Affiliate or the applicable Third Party of any additional financial consideration to MedImmune or any of its Affiliates beyond the payments negotiated between Licensee and such Third Party except as compensation for any additional performance obligations that MedImmune elects to assume or perform); provided, however, that MedImmune shall retain sole discretion to withhold agreement with respect to any other grant of rights in connection therewith or the assumption of any obligations or liabilities in addition to, or that are greater in scope than, MedImmuneβs obligations or liabilities set forth in this Agreement but shall not unreasonably delay its response to any such Standby License Request. Any Standby License (or other rights) granted by MedImmune to a proposed Sublicensee pursuant to this SectionΒ 2.3.2 shall be deemed a βSurviving Sublicenseβ. In addition, in the event that MedImmune agrees to grant a Standby License to any Sublicensee with respect to a country other than the U.S., a country in the EU Market or China, then upon entering into such agreement, such agreement shall also be referred to as a Surviving Sublicense for purposes of this Agreement.
2.3.3. Acknowledgments Regarding Sublicensing.
(a) MedImmune acknowledges that Licenseeβs ability to comply with its diligence obligations under SectionsΒ 3.3.1 and 3.5.1 with respect to Licensed Products in the Field in each of the EU Market and China may depend on its ability to grant Sublicenses to Third Parties in such Markets.
(b) MedImmune further acknowledges that if (i)Β Licensee delivers a Standby License Request to MedImmune requesting MedImmuneβs agreement to grant a Standby License to a bona fide proposed Sublicensee of Licensed Products in the Field in the EU Market or China that is both willing to agree to terms and conditions of Sublicense that

would comply with the requirements of SectionΒ 2.3.1 and the Surviving Sublicense Requirements, and unwilling to enter into a Sublicense agreement with Licensee for such Market without such Standby License, and (ii)Β MedImmune does not agree to grant such Standby License, or does not respond to such Standby License Request, or does not engage in good faith discussions with Licensee regarding such Standby License within [***] of such Standby License Request, such refusal by MedImmune may impede the Development and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in such Market and have an adverse effect on Licenseeβs timelines for such Development and Commercialization.
2.4. Retention of Rights; Limitations Applicable to License Grants.
2.4.1. Retained Rights of MedImmune. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and without limitation of any rights granted or reserved to MedImmune pursuant to any other term or condition of this Agreement, MedImmune hereby expressly retains, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (and on behalf of its licensors, (sub)licensees and contractors) the non-exclusive right under the Licensed Know-How and Licensed Patents, in each case for MedImmune and its Affiliates (a)Β to (i)Β perform MedImmuneβs obligations and to exercise their respective rights under this Agreement, (ii)Β Exploit the AstraZeneca Product in any field (including the Field) anywhere in the Territory and (iii)Β subject to SectionΒ 2.5.1, Exploit any compound or product other than any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product and (b)Β without limitation to clauseΒ (a), in the case of Licensed Know-How, subject to SectionΒ 2.5.1, to Exploit any compound other than (x)Β MEDI2452 or (y)Β any compound claimed in the Licensed Patents or, in each case ((x) and (y)), any product containing a compound covered by clauseΒ (x) or (y).
2.4.2. No Other Rights Granted by MedImmune. Except as expressly provided herein, MedImmune grants no other right or license, including any rights or licenses to the Licensed Know-How, the Licensed Patents, the MedImmune Corporate Names, or any other Patent, Trademark or other intellectual property rights not otherwise expressly granted herein. Without limitation to the foregoing, the Parties agree that the rights and licenses granted to Licensee under this Agreement do not include rights or licenses to develop, manufacture or commercialize, or otherwise Exploit, the Ticagrelor Compound or any AstraZeneca Product for any purpose.
2.4.3. No Other Rights Granted by Licensee. Except as expressly provided herein, Licensee grants no other right or license, including any rights or licenses to the PhaseBio Know-How, PhaseBio Patents, Licensee Termination Patents, Licensee Termination Know-How, the Assigned Regulatory Documentation, the Licensee Regulatory Documentation, the Product Trademarks, or any other Patent, Trademark or other intellectual property rights not otherwise expressly granted herein.

2.4.4. Rights with Respect to Additional Compounds. Notwithstanding the license grants in SectionΒ 2.1, Licensee shall have the right and license to Exploit Additional Compounds solely in accordance with this SectionΒ 2.4.4.
(a) In the event that Licensee has continued to satisfy its obligations pursuant to SectionΒ 3.3.1 to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop MEDI2452, and MEDI2452 is advancing through clinical development, or in the event that a Drug Approval Application for MEDI2452 has received Regulatory Approval in one or more Markets, Licensee may (directly, or indirectly through one or more Affiliates or Sublicensees), on at least [***] prior written notice to MedImmune at its sole expense, and while continuing to pursue Development, Regulatory Approval and Commercialization of MEDI2452 in accordance with this Agreement, also Exploit one or more Additional Compounds (and Licensed Products containing any such Additional Compound(s)) under and in accordance with this Agreement; provided that such Exploitation does not adversely affect the clinical development of, or obtaining or maintaining regulatory approval for, MEDI2452, including the timelines with respect thereto.
(b) In the event a Safety/Efficacy Issue occurs or exists with respect to MEDI2452, then Licensee shall so notify MedImmune and Licensee may, with MedImmuneβs prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, at its sole expense, elect to Exploit one or more Additional Compounds (and Licensed Products containing any such Additional Compound(s)) under and in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) Without limitation to SectionΒ 2.4.4(a) or SectionΒ 2.4.4(b) or Licenseeβs reporting and other obligations with respect to Licensed Compounds under ArticleΒ 3, at least [***] prior to any IND filing by or on behalf of Licensee (or any Affiliate or Sublicensee) with respect to any Additional Compound, Licensee shall (i)Β identify to MedImmune the protein sequence of the applicable antibody or antibody fragment and (ii)Β provide to MedImmune such evidence or other documentation demonstrating that such antibody or antibody fragment satisfies the definition of an Additional Compound. If MedImmune reasonably determines that such antibody or antibody fragment does not satisfy the definition of an Additional Compound and so notifies Licensee in writing, or if Licensee fails to identify to MedImmune the protein sequence of, or provide to MedImmune the evidence or other documentation with respect to, such antibody or antibody fragment pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such antibody or antibody fragment shall automatically be deemed to be excluded from the definition of an Additional Compound and the license grants under SectionΒ 2.1 unless MedImmune otherwise expressly agrees pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement entered into pursuant to SectionΒ 10.10. Each antibody or antibody fragment that is deemed to be so excluded pursuant to the foregoing sentence from and after such exclusion shall be an βExcluded Compoundβ.
(d) Without limitation to SectionΒ 2.4.1 or SectionΒ 2.4.2 or any other term or condition of this Agreement, Licensee covenants to MedImmune that, subject

to SectionΒ 2.4.4(a) and SectionΒ 2.4.4(b), none of Licensee, any of its Affiliates or its or their successors or any Sublicensee, directly or indirectly shall Exploit any Excluded Compound or any product containing an Excluded Compound. In the event of Licenseeβs breach of this SectionΒ 2.4.4, without limitation to any claim for damages or other right or remedy of MedImmune hereunder or at law or in equity, Licensee shall pay to MedImmune, in relation to any such Excluded Compound and any product containing an Excluded Compound or any Exploitation thereof, an amount equal to the milestones and royalties that would have otherwise been payable pursuant to ArticleΒ 4 as if such Excluded Compound or product was a Licensed Product hereunder. For clarity, nothing contained herein is intended to imply, and shall not be construed, to grant to Licensee any license rights to Exploit any Excluded Compound or use any Licensed Compound for any purpose in connection with any product other than a Licensed Product.
2.4.5. Licensed Know-How. MedImmune has used good faith efforts to identify and set forth on ScheduleΒ 1.79 all of the material Information Controlled by MedImmune and its Affiliates that satisfies all of clausesΒ (a), (b) and (c)Β as follows: (a)Β is in the possession and Control of MedImmune or its Affiliates and can be transferred to Licensee, (b)Β was generated by MedImmune or any of its Affiliates and was actually used by MedImmune or any of its Affiliates, in each case in the conduct of MedImmuneβs and its Affiliatesβ development program for MEDI2452 prior to the Effective Date and (c)Β is reasonably necessary for the further Development of, or to obtain or maintain any Patent with respect to, MEDI2452 or any Licensed Product containing MEDI2452 as each exists as of the Effective Date. In the event that, within [***] following the Effective Date, Licensee reasonably determines that MedImmune omitted any such material Information from ScheduleΒ 1.79, Licenseeβs sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such omission shall be for MedImmune to transfer to Licensee the applicable Information. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that (i)Β neither the Licensed Know-How nor the Technical Transfer Documents are intended to, and shall not be construed to, convey, license or otherwise transfer to Licensee any rights with respect to Information owned by or in the possession of [***] and the Licensed Know-How excludes any such Information and (ii)Β the Licensed Know-How excludes any research, discovery or development tools or technology, including Information with respect to any such research, discovery or development tools or technology used by MedImmune in relation to: (A)Β MEDI2452 or (B)Β any anti-ticagrelor antibody or antibody fragment other than MEDI2452 that is covered or claimed by the Licensed Patents.
2.5. Exclusivity.
2.5.1. Exclusivity Commitment of MedImmune. Subject to SectionΒ 3.3.1(e) and SectionsΒ 10.3 and 10.4, during the applicable Exclusive Period, MedImmune shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, either by itself or through a Third Party, conduct human clinical trials of, or sell, offer for sale or have sold, any Competing Product.

with respect to the AstraZeneca Product and (b)Β if with respect to any country, (i)Β in order to obtain or maintain regulatory approval for the AstraZeneca Product in such country a Regulatory Authority requires that a product that acts as an antidote to, or neutralizes, abrogates or reverses the antiplatelet activity of the Ticagrelor Compound be developed or commercialized in such country, and (ii)Β MedImmune has provided Licensee an opportunity for the Parties to discuss in good faith but the Parties have not reached agreement as to whether, and the terms on which, MedImmune would be granted the right to Develop, obtain and maintain Regulatory Approval for and commercialize a Licensed Product in such country pursuant to SectionΒ 3.3.1(e), then MedImmune or its Affiliate shall be permitted to conduct human clinical trials for, and sell, offer for sale and have sold, a Competing Product in such country unless Licensee can reasonably demonstrate that Licensee (x)Β is continuing to Develop, and (y)Β has used and is continuing to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop, in each case ((x) and (y)) a Licensed Compound and a Licensed Product for such country, including taking all necessary steps to obtain and maintain Regulatory Approval with respect to such Licensed Product in such country.

Licensee shall, pursuant to SectionΒ 4.3, reimburse MedImmune for its Technical Services Costs incurred in connection with any such consultation. MedImmune expressly disclaims any representation or warranty with respect to any consultation or any Information provided in connection therewith by MedImmune or its Affiliates.
3.1.6. Limitation of MedImmune Support and FTEs. Except to the extent specifically included in the Technical Services or expressly set forth in the preceding provisions of this SectionΒ 3.1 or the last sentence of SectionΒ 5.2.2, MedImmune shall have no obligation to provide transition or other support with respect to the Technical Transfer Documents, the Licensed Patents, the Licensed Know-How, the Assigned Regulatory Documentation, any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, MedImmune shall not be required to perform Technical Services (a)Β after the Effective Date in excess of [***] in the aggregate or (b)Β after [***]the Effective Date, nor shall Licensee be obligated to compensate MedImmune for Technical Services in excess of one (1)Β FTE in the aggregate.
3.2. Manufacturing. From and after the Effective Date, subject to MedImmuneβs retained rights under SectionΒ 2.4.1, as between the Parties, Licensee shall be solely responsible for all aspects of the Manufacturing of Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory at Licenseeβs own cost and expense.

(b) Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop, and obtain and maintain Regulatory Approvals for, Licensed Products for use in the Field (x)Β in the United States, China and the Major European Countries and (y)Β in other countries throughout the Territory where it is commercially reasonable (consistent with the definition of Commercially Reasonable Efforts) to do so; provided that, in the case of any other country covered by clauseΒ (y), Licensee shall not be required pursuant to this sentence to Develop or obtain Regulatory Approval for a Licensed Product in such country if the reasonably expected period of exclusivity for such Licensed Product in such country (whether by virtue of an anticipated Valid Claim of a Licensed Patent or the Regulatory Exclusivity Period with respect to which the Licensed Product is expected to be eligible upon receipt of Regulatory Approval or other available data or similar exclusivity) is less than five (5)Β years assuming the exercise of Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop, and obtain and maintain Regulatory Approval for, such Licensed Product in such country. For clarity, the Parties acknowledge that Developing, and obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approvals for, Licensed Products for use in the Field in the United States and the Major European Countries is a higher timing priority in Licenseeβs global development strategy than Developing, and obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approvals for, Licensed Products for use in the Field in China, and that, accordingly, the use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform such activities in (i)Β the U.S. and the Major European Countries, on the one hand, and (ii)Β China, on the other hand, does not require that such activities in China be conducted on the same or similar timeline as such activities in the U.S. and the Major European Countries.
(c) In the event that Licensee achieves First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the United States, a Major European Country or China on or before DecemberΒ 31, 2021, Licensee shall so notify MedImmune in writing and provide supporting documentation with respect thereto and the commencement of the Royalty Term shall be delayed until JulyΒ 1, 2022.

3.3.2. Development Records. Licensee shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees to, maintain, in good scientific manner, complete and accurate books and records pertaining to Development of the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products hereunder, in sufficient detail to verify compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. Such books and records shall (a)Β be appropriate for patent and regulatory purposes, (b)Β be in compliance with Applicable Law, (c)Β properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the performance of its Development activities hereunder, and (d)Β be retained by Licensee for such period as may be required by Applicable Law. In the event (i)Β of a dispute with respect to Licenseeβs performance of its Development obligations set forth in SectionΒ 3.3.1, (ii)Β of termination of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to any Market, or (iii)Β that access to such books and records is reasonably required by MedImmune or its Affiliates in connection with the exercise of its rights under ArticleΒ 5, MedImmune shall have the right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to inspect and copy any or all such books and records pursuant to this SectionΒ 3.3.2; provided that MedImmune shall maintain such records and information disclosed therein in accordance with ArticleΒ 6.
3.3.3. Development Plans. No later than [***], Licensee shall provide MedImmune with an initial written development plan for the Licensed Products. In addition, and without limiting SectionΒ 3.3.2, prior to Licenseeβs receipt of Regulatory Approval in the United States, China and at least one Major European Country, within [***] following the end of each Calendar Year beginning with Calendar Year 2018, Licensee shall provide MedImmune with Licenseeβs then-current written development plan for the Licensed Products, including a listing of those countries in the Territory with respect to which Licensee is pursuing Development or intends to seek Regulatory Approval (each, a βDevelopment Planβ). MedImmune shall have the right to review and provide comments to Licensee on each Development Plan within [***] of receipt of such Development Plan, which comments Licensee shall consider in good faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee promptly shall provide MedImmune with key Development results from any clinical trial with respect to a Licensed Product, including top-line data from any Pivotal Trial readout, in each case reasonably in advance of any public announcement of such results.
3.4. Regulatory Activities.

(b) Except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law, MedImmune hereby assigns to Licensee or its designated Affiliate all Regulatory Documentation possessed and owned by MedImmune or any of its Affiliates exclusively relating to MEDI2452 (the βAssigned Regulatory Documentationβ). MedImmune has used good faith efforts to identify and set forth on ScheduleΒ 3.4.1(b) all such material Regulatory Documentation Controlled by MedImmune or its Affiliates in existence on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MedImmune shall be permitted to retain copies of the Assigned Regulatory Documentation for purposes of Exploiting the AstraZeneca Product and otherwise.
3.4.2. Regulatory Interactions. Without limitation to SectionΒ 3.3.3 or SectionΒ 3.4.1(a), Licensee shall, except to the extent a need for exigent action prevents it from doing so, provide MedImmune with copies of Licenseeβs initial Drug Approval Application relating to each Licensed Compound or Licensed Product to the FDA or EMA, as applicable, and to such other Regulatory Authorities as MedImmune may reasonably request, a reasonable amount of time (but no less than [***]) prior to the anticipated date for the applicable submission to allow MedImmune to review and comment on such Drug Approval Application, and Licensee shall consider all comments and proposed revisions from MedImmune in good faith in connection with effecting such submission. Licensee shall consult with MedImmune regarding, and keep MedImmune informed of, the status of the preparation of the dossier rationale and proposed labeling with respect to each Licensed Product. Upon MedImmuneβs request, Licensee shall promptly (and in any event, within [***]) provide to MedImmune access to and copies of any Regulatory Documentation necessary or reasonably useful for MedImmune to Exploit the AstraZeneca Product or update the label with respect thereto.

3.4.3. Recalls, Suspensions or Withdrawals. Licensee shall notify MedImmune promptly (but in no event later than [***] in the case of commercially distributed Licensed Product) following its determination that any event, incident or circumstance has occurred that may result in the need for a recall, market suspension, or market withdrawal of a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory and shall include in such notice the reasoning behind such determination and any supporting facts. As between the Parties, Licensee shall have the right to make the final determination whether to voluntarily implement any such recall, market suspension, or market withdrawal in the Field in the Territory; provided that, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, prior to any implementation of such a recall of a commercially distributed Licensed Product (including samples), or market suspension or market withdrawal of a Licensed Product, Licensee shall consult with MedImmune and shall consider MedImmuneβs comments in good faith. If a recall, market suspension, or market withdrawal of a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory is mandated by a Regulatory Authority in the Territory, then, as between the Parties, Licensee shall initiate such a recall, market suspension, or market withdrawal in compliance with Applicable Law.

reporting information for the Licensed Products in the Territory. To the extent reasonably required by Licensee in relation to the Exploitation of a Licensed Product or obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval for a Licensed Product, MedImmune shall cooperate in good faith to provide Licensee with appropriate access to material safety reporting information for the AstraZeneca Product solely for use in relation to the Exploitation of a Licensed Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) With respect to any AstraZeneca Product, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, Licensee shall notify in writing MedImmune or such Affiliate as MedImmune may designate of any adverse events and other safety-relevant information and complaints associated with such AstraZeneca Product in the Territory (each, a βSpontaneous Adverse Eventβ) of which Licensee becomes aware, outside the conduct of clinical studies within [***] after Licensee first learns of such Spontaneous Adverse Event.
(d) Licensee shall notify MedImmune according to the timelines above, regardless of seriousness, causality, and whether or not the AstraZeneca Product was used in accordance with the authorized Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) or any other conditions laid down for marketing of the AstraZeneca Product in accordance with applicable legal requirements including: (i)Β reports of suspected transmission of an infectious agent for the AstraZeneca Product and (ii)Β reports of lack of effect, pregnancy, lactation/paternal exposure, medication error, overdose, off-label use, drug interaction, abuse or misuse of the AstraZeneca Product, falsified/counterfeit product, or occupational exposure with or without an associated adverse event of the AstraZeneca Product.

Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize the Licensed Products in the Field (x)Β in the United States, China and the Major European Countries and (y)Β in each other Market throughout the Territory in which it is commercially reasonable to Commercialize the Licensed Products. For clarity, the Parties acknowledge that, based on Licenseeβs global development strategy (as described in SectionΒ 3.3.1(b)), Commercializing Licensed Products in the Field in the United States and the Major European Countries is a higher timing priority in Licenseeβs global development strategy than Commercializing Licensed Products in the Field in China, and that, accordingly, the use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform such activities in (i)Β the U.S. and the Major European Countries, on the one hand, and (ii)Β China, on the other hand, does not require that such activities in China be conducted on the same or similar timeline as such activities in the U.S. and the Major European Countries.
3.5.2. Booking of Sales; Distribution. Licensee shall invoice and book sales, establish all terms of sale (including pricing and discounts), and warehouse and distribute the Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory and perform or cause to be performed all related services.

such dispute maintained pursuant to this SectionΒ 3.5.3; provided that MedImmune shall maintain such records and information disclosed therein in accordance with ArticleΒ 6.
3.5.4. Commercialization Plans. Without limiting SectionΒ 3.5.3, commencing at least [***] prior to the anticipated filing of the first Drug Approval Application for each Licensed Product anywhere in the Territory, within [***] following the end of each Calendar Year, Licensee shall provide MedImmune with Licenseeβs then-current written Commercialization Plan for the Licensed Product(s) (each, a βCommercialization Planβ). MedImmune shall have the right to review and provide comments to Licensee on each Commercialization Plan within [***] of receipt of such Commercialization Plan, which comments Licensee shall consider in good faith; provided, however, that MedImmuneβs right to review and provide comments to Licensee, and Licenseeβs obligation to consider such comments, with respect to those portions of any Commercialization Plan relating to a particular Market shall expire on the later of (a)Β such time as the Generic Competition Threshold in such Market is first met or exceeded and (b)Β expiration of the last to expire Valid Claim of the Patents owned or controlled by MedImmune or its Affiliates that claim the manufacture, use or sale of the AstraZeneca Product in such Market.
3.5.5. Commercialization Strategy.

3.5.6. Promotional Materials. Without limiting SectionΒ 3.5.5 or any term or condition of the Trademark License Agreement, MedImmune shall have the right to review and approve any and all Promotional Materials (including any information for use on the Internet), and including any updates or modifications thereto, that contain any AstraZeneca Product References. Licensee shall provide any Promotional Materials to MedImmune for review (by MedImmune and its Affiliates) at least [***] prior to submission of such Promotional Materials (or such updates or modifications) to a Regulatory Authority or [***] prior to the printing of such materials for distribution to the public, whichever comes first. MedImmune shall notify Licensee whether MedImmune approves such Promotional Materials within [***] of receipt of such Promotional Materials, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned. In no event shall (a)Β Licensee seek approval of or include in Promotional Materials any AstraZeneca Product Reference that is not (i)Β supported by the approved labeling for the AstraZeneca Product or presents an unbalanced view of the AstraZeneca Product considering the approved labeling for the AstraZeneca Product as a whole or (ii)Β consistent with the approved labeling for the Licensed Product, and (b)Β MedImmune have any obligation to approve any

a Sublicense, or an assignment by Licensee of this Agreement, with respect to which this exception shall not apply), Licensee shall increase the amount so payable as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding of Withholding Taxes has been made, MedImmune receives the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if MedImmune is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, applicable Withholding Tax, it may deliver to Licensee or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of Licensee to the extent that this is reasonably required and is requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve Licensee of its obligation to withhold such tax and Licensee shall apply the reduced rate of withholding or dispense with withholding, as the case may be. If, in accordance with the foregoing, Licensee withholds any amount, it shall pay to MedImmune the balance when due, make timely payment to the proper taxing authority of the withheld amount and send to MedImmune proof of such payment within [***] following such payment with reasonable supporting documentation and calculations of such Withholding Taxes sufficient to enable MedImmune to claim such payment of Withholding Taxes or otherwise obtain any tax benefit for such Withholding Taxes within a reasonable time following such payment, and such Withholding Taxes shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to MedImmune hereunder. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to minimize, report and withhold any such Withholding Taxes, including with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority. Prior to making any deduction or withholding from any payment under this Agreement, Licensee shall provide at least [***] prior written notice to MedImmune of the amounts subject to deduction or withholding and the legal basis therefore, and provide to MedImmune a reasonable opportunity to furnish forms, certificates or other items that would reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding. If Licensee receives a refund of any such withheld taxes, in whole or in part, and whether in the form of cash, credit or other similar offset, Licensee shall promptly refund such amount to MedImmune. MedImmune shall not be liable for any penalties or interest due to the failure of Licensee to properly withhold or remit such any withholding or deductions to the governmental authorities, unless such failure is due to incorrect or invalid forms, facts, or other similar information given to Licensee by MedImmune.
4.8.3. Value Added Tax. Notwithstanding anything contained in SectionΒ 4.8.1 or SectionΒ 4.8.2, this SectionΒ 4.8.3 shall apply with respect to value added tax (βVATβ). All Payments are exclusive of VAT.

The Auditor will execute a reasonable written confidentiality agreement with Licensee and will disclose to MedImmune only such information as is reasonably necessary to provide MedImmune with information regarding any actual or potential discrepancies between amounts reported and actually paid and amounts payable under this Agreement. The Auditor will send a copy of the report to Licensee at the same time it is sent to MedImmune. The report sent to both Parties will include the methodology and calculations used to determine the results. MedImmune shall bear the full cost of such audit, unless the audit reveals an underreporting or underpayment by Licensee by more than five percent (5%) of the amount due for any Calendar Year, in which case Licensee shall bear the cost of the audit. Unless disputed pursuant to SectionΒ 4.12 below, if such audit concludes that (a)Β additional amounts were owed by Licensee, Licensee shall pay the additional amounts, with interest from the date originally due as provided in SectionΒ 4.9, or (b)Β excess payments were made by Licensee, MedImmune shall reimburse such excess payments, in either case ((a) or (b)), within [***] after the date on which the Auditorβs report is delivered to Licensee.

Except with respect to any AstraZeneca Product Improvement, which shall be governed by SectionΒ 5.1.6(a)(i), Licensee shall cause each employee and individual consultant (excluding MedImmune and its Affiliates) of Licensee or its Affiliates (but excluding Third Party contractors of Licensee and its Affiliates, which are separately addressed in SectionΒ 5.1.6(b)) who conceives, discovers, develops or otherwise makes (i)Β any Information that is directed to a Licensed Compound or Licensed Product and was not previously in the public domain or (ii)Β any other Invention directed to a Licensed Compound or Licensed Product (but, in each case ((i) and (ii)), excluding any AstraZeneca Product Improvement), in connection with activities conducted relating to this Agreement to be under an obligation to assign to Licensee their rights in any such Information or other Invention. In the case of any consultant of Licensee or its Affiliates (excluding MedImmune and its Affiliates and Licenseeβs and its Affiliatesβ Third Party contractors), if Licensee is unable to cause such consultant to agree to such assignment obligation despite Licenseeβs using commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate such assignment obligation, then Licensee shall either: (A)Β cause such consultant to grant an exclusive license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers, under their rights in such Information or other Invention to Exploit the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory, except where Applicable Law requires otherwise and except in the case of consultants who are employed by governmental, not-for-profit, or public institutions that have standard policies against such an assignment (in which case, Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a suitable license, or right to obtain such a license); or (B)Β refrain from using such consultant to conduct activities pursuant to this Agreement unless MedImmune consents in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

efforts, to obtain such assignment or license from a Third Party contractor on terms acceptable to Licensee or at all shall not constitute a breach of Licenseeβs obligations under this Agreement. Licensee shall require its and its Affiliatesβ Sublicensees to be subject to the obligations set forth in this SectionΒ 5.1.6(b) to the same extent as Licensee.
5.1.7. Ownership of Licensee Corporate Names and Product Trademarks. As between the Parties, Licensee shall own all right, title and interest to the Licensee Corporate Names and the Product Trademarks in the Territory.

5.2. Maintenance and Prosecution of Patents.
5.2.1. Intent Regarding PhaseBio Patents. Without limiting SectionΒ 5.2.2 and SectionΒ 5.2.3, Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to file separately Patents claiming any Licensee-owned invention that is necessary or useful for the development, manufacture, use or sale of any compound (including any Other Active) that is not a Licensed Compound or any product that is not a Licensed Product. To that end, with respect to any such Patent that claims the composition of matter or formulation of, or any method of treatment or use or Manufacture of, or any means of delivery or dosage of, any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product, Licensee shall use, and shall instruct its patent counsel to use, reasonable, good faith efforts not to include in any such Patent any claim that would cause such Patent not to be a PhaseBio Selected Patent. In the event Licensee determines, in good faith and upon advice of outside patent counsel, that it is not practicable or not consistent with applicable patent law and patent office requirements to omit any such claim, or that omitting any such claim is against Licenseeβs interest in establishing strong patent protection for the applicable Invention or against the Partiesβ mutual interest in establishing strong patent protection for Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products, Licensee shall so notify MedImmune at least [***] prior to filing any such Patent, and, subject to execution by the Parties of a reasonable and customary confidentiality and common interest agreement if so requested by Licensee, Licensee shall provide MedImmune with a draft of such Patent, and the Parties and their respective patent counsel shall promptly confer and attempt in good faith to agree on a course of action.
5.2.2. Licensed Patents; PhaseBio Selected Patents. As between the Parties, Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Licensed Patents and the PhaseBio Selected Patents, including directing any related interference, re-issuance, re-examination and opposition proceedings with respect thereto, worldwide, in each case, at its sole cost and expense and through reputable, outside counsel mutually agreed to by the Parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and, with respect to any AstraZeneca Product References in connection with the

filing, prosecution or maintenance of any such Patents, using only factual statements supported by the approved label for the AstraZeneca Product or presenting a balanced view of the AstraZeneca Product considering the approved label thereof as a whole. Licensee shall keep MedImmune reasonably informed MedImmune of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patents and the PhaseBio Selected Patents, as applicable, in the Territory, including by providing MedImmune with a copy of material communications to and from any patent authority regarding such Patents and by providing MedImmune drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities sufficiently in advance of submitting such filings or responses so as to allow for a reasonable opportunity for MedImmune to review and comment thereon. Licensee shall consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of MedImmune with respect to such drafts and with respect to strategies for filing and prosecuting such Licensed Patents or PhaseBio Selected Patents. If, as between the Parties, Licensee decides not to prepare, file, prosecute or maintain a Licensed Patent or a PhaseBio Selected Patent in a country in the Territory, Licensee shall provide reasonable prior written notice to MedImmune of such intention and MedImmune shall thereupon have the right, in its sole discretion, to assume the control and direction of the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Licensed Patent at its sole cost and expense in such country. MedImmune shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with Applicable Law, to make employee inventors available to Licensee for consultation from time to time to facilitate Licenseeβs prosecution of the Licensed Patents.
5.2.3. Other PhaseBio Patents. As between the Parties, Licensee shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain any PhaseBio Patents that are not PhaseBio Selected Patents, including directing any related interference, re-issuance, re-examination and opposition proceedings with respect thereto, worldwide, at its sole cost and expense and through counsel of its choice, and, with respect to any AstraZeneca Product References in connection with the filing, prosecution or maintenance of such Patents, using only factual statements supported by the approved label for the AstraZeneca Product or presenting a balanced view of the AstraZeneca Product considering the approved label thereof as a whole.
5.2.4. AstraZeneca Product Patents. As between the Parties, MedImmune (or its Affiliate or sublicensee) shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the AstraZeneca Product Patents, including directing any related interference, re-issuance, re-examination and opposition proceedings with respect thereto, worldwide, in each case, at its sole cost and expense and through counsel of its choice.
5.2.5. Joint Patents. The Parties shall decide on a Joint Invention-by-Joint Invention basis which Party will have the first right to prosecute and maintain Joint Patents (such Party, the βResponsible Partyβ), at its sole cost and expense and by reputable, outside counsel mutually agreed to by the Parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Responsible Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of progress with regard to the prosecution and maintenance of Joint Patents for which the

Responsible Party is responsible under this SectionΒ 5.2.5, and shall consult with, and consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of, the other Party. In the event that the Responsible Party desires not to file, or desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of, any Joint Patent in any country, the Responsible Party shall provide written notice to the other Party of such intention promptly after the Responsible Party makes such determination (which notice shall be given no later than [***] 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, at the other Partyβs sole discretion, upon written notice to the Responsible Party from the other Party, the other Party may elect to continue prosecution or maintenance of any such Joint Patent, at its sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice.
5.2.6. Cooperation. The non-prosecuting Party shall, and as necessary shall cause its Affiliates to, assist and cooperate with the prosecuting Party, as the prosecuting Party may reasonably request from time to time, in the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Patents, PhaseBio Selected Patents, AstraZeneca Product Patents and Joint Patents, as applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, the non-prosecuting Party shall, and as necessary shall ensure that its Affiliates, (a)Β offer its comments, if any, promptly and (b)Β provide access to relevant documents and other evidence and make its employees available at reasonable business hours; provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to provide legally privileged information with respect to such intellectual property unless and until procedures reasonably acceptable to such Party are in place to protect such privilege; and provided, further, that the prosecuting Party shall reimburse the non-prosecuting Party for its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
5.2.7. Patent Term Extension and Supplementary Protection Certificate. As between the Parties, regardless of which Party is filing, prosecuting and maintaining any Licensed Patent, PhaseBio Selected Patent or Joint Patent pursuant to this SectionΒ 5.2, the Parties shall attempt to make decisions by mutual agreement regarding patent term extensions, in the Territory, including the United States with respect to extensions pursuant to 35 U.S.C. Β§156 et. seq. and in other jurisdictions pursuant to supplementary protection certificates, and in all jurisdictions with respect to any other extensions that are now or become available in the future, wherever applicable, for the Licensed Patents, the PhaseBio Selected Patents and Joint Patents and with respect to Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products, in each case including whether or not to so apply. If, with respect to any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product and a country, the Parties cannot agree on which Licensed Patent, PhaseBio Selected Patent or Joint Patent as to which the term is to be extended in such country, then with respect to Licensed Patents, PhaseBio Selected Patents and Joint Patents in such country, the Parties shall mutually agree on a Third Party patent lawyer (whose costs shall be borne equally (50/50) between the Parties) and shall give such lawyer instructions to resolve such disagreement in a manner designed to maximize the period of exclusivity for such Licensed Compound or Licensed Product, and the decision of such lawyer shall be binding on the Parties. For clarity, Licensee shall have the sole right to make decisions regarding, and shall have the sole right to

apply for, patent term extensions in the Territory with respect to PhaseBio Patents that are not PhaseBio Selected Patents.
5.2.8. Common Ownership Under Joint Research Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ArticleΒ 5, neither Party shall have the right to make an election under 35 U.S.C. 102(c) when exercising its rights under this ArticleΒ 5 without the prior written consent of the other Party. With respect to any such permitted election, the Parties shall coordinate their activities with respect to any submissions, filings or other activities in support thereof. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a βjoint research agreementβ as defined in 35 U.S.C. 100(h).
5.3. Enforcement of Patents.
5.3.1. Notice. In the event that either Party receives notice of (a)Β any alleged or threatened infringement of the Licensed Patents, PhaseBio Selected Patents or Joint Patents in any jurisdiction in the Territory or (b)Β any certification filed under the BPCI Act claiming that any Licensed Patents, PhaseBio Selected Patents or Joint Patents are invalid or unenforceable or claiming that any Licensed Patents, PhaseBio Selected Patents, or Joint Patents would not be infringed by the making, having made, use, offer for sale, sale or import of a product for which an application under the BPCI Act is filed or any equivalent or similar certification or notice in any other jurisdiction in the Territory (an βInfringementβ), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of such Infringement.
5.3.2. Licensed Patents; PhaseBio Selected Patents. As between the Parties, Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to prosecute Infringement with respect to the Licensed Patents and the PhaseBio Selected Patents, including as a defense or counterclaim in connection with any Third Party Infringement Claim, at Licenseeβs sole cost and expense, using reputable, outside counsel mutually agreed to by the Parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and, with respect to any AstraZeneca Product References in connection with the prosecution of Infringement with respect to any such Patents, using only factual statements contained in the approved label for the AstraZeneca Product or otherwise approved by MedImmune in writing. In the event Licensee prosecutes any such Infringement, MedImmune shall have the right to join as a party to such claim, suit or proceeding and participate with its own counsel at its sole cost and expense; provided that Licensee shall retain control of the prosecution of such claim, suit or proceeding, including the response to any defense or defense of any counterclaim raised in connection therewith. If Licensee or its designee does not take and continue to pursue commercially reasonable steps to prosecute an Infringement with respect to the Licensed Patents or the PhaseBio Selected Patents in the Field within [***] following the date upon which Licensee first receives notice or otherwise learns of such Infringement or such shorter period as may be necessary to preserve MedImmuneβs rights to prosecute such Infringement effectively, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, or, provided such date occurs after Licensee receives notice or otherwise learns of such Infringement, [***] before the time limit, if any, set forth in Applicable Law for filing of

such actions, whichever comes first, then (i)Β Licensee shall so notify MedImmune and, (ii)Β MedImmune may prosecute such alleged or threatened Infringement at its sole cost and expense.
5.3.3. Other PhaseBio Patents. As between the Parties, Licensee shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to prosecute Infringement with respect to any PhaseBio Patents that are not PhaseBio Selected Patents, including as a defense or counterclaim in connection with any Third Party Infringement Claim, at Licenseeβs sole cost and expense, using counsel of its choice and, with respect to any AstraZeneca Product References in connection with the prosecution of Infringement with respect to such Patents, using only factual statements contained in the approved label for the AstraZeneca Product or otherwise approved by MedImmune in writing.
5.3.4. AstraZeneca Product Patents. As between the Parties, MedImmune or its Affiliate shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to prosecute Infringement with respect to the AstraZeneca Product Patents, including as a defense or counterclaim in connection with any Third Party Infringement Claim, at MedImmuneβs sole cost and expense, using counsel of its choice.

5.3.6. Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate fully in any Infringement action pursuant to this SectionΒ 5.3 with respect to any Licensed Patents, PhaseBio Selected Patents or Joint Patents, including by making the inventors, applicable records, and documents (including laboratory notebooks) with respect to the relevant Patents available to the enforcing Party on the enforcing Partyβs request. With respect to any such action controlled by the applicable enforcing Party, the other Party shall, and as necessary shall cause its Affiliates to, assist and cooperate with the enforcing Party, as the enforcing Party may reasonably request from time to time, in connection with its activities set forth in this SectionΒ 5.3, including, where necessary, furnishing a power of attorney solely for such purpose or joining in, or being named as a necessary party to, such action, providing access to relevant documents and other evidence, and making its employees available at reasonable business hours; provided that the enforcing Party shall reimburse such other Party for its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Unless otherwise set forth herein, the enforcing Party shall have the right to settle such claim; provided that neither Party shall have the right to settle any Infringement litigation under this SectionΒ 5.3 in a manner that reasonably may have a material adverse effect on the rights or interest of the other Party or its Affiliates (including, in the case of MedImmune as the other Party, a material adverse effect on the AstraZeneca Product) or in a manner that imposes any costs or liability on, or involves any admission by, the other Party, without the express written consent of such other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, MedImmune shall have the sole and absolute discretion to settle any claims with respect to the AstraZeneca Product or any AstraZeneca Product Patent, without consultation with Licensee and without regard to the effect of such settlements on any Licensed Product (provided that, if any such settlement of claims with respect to any AstraZeneca Product also involves a settlement of claims with respect to any Licensed Product, MedImmune shall not settle any claims specifically with respect to the Licensed Product in a manner that would impose any costs or liability on, or involves any admission by, Licensee, without the express written consent of Licensee). In connection with any activities with respect to an Infringement action prosecuted by the applicable enforcing Party pursuant to this SectionΒ 5.3 involving Licensed Patents, the PhaseBio Selected Patents or Joint Patents, the enforcing Party shall (a)Β consult with the other Party as to the strategy for the prosecution of such claim, suit, or proceeding, (b)Β consider in good faith any comments from the other Party with respect thereto, and (c)Β keep the other Party reasonably informed of any material steps taken, and provide copies of all material documents filed, in connection with such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MedImmune shall have no obligations under this SectionΒ 5.3.6, and no right to settle any Infringement action, with respect to any PhaseBio Patents that are not PhaseBio Selected Patents.
5.3.7. Recovery. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in connection with a cost sharing arrangement, any recovery realized as a result of such litigation described above in this SectionΒ 5.3 (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be first allocated to reimburse the Parties for their costs and expenses in making such recovery (which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality of such expenses). Any remainder after such reimbursement is made shall be retained by the enforcing Party; provided,

however, that any recovery realized by Licensee as a result of any action brought and controlled by Licensee with respect to a Licensed Patent pursuant to SectionΒ 5.3.2 shall be allocated as follows: (a)Β compensatory damages shall: (i)Β if awarded as lost sales, be treated as Net Sales of Licensed Products in the quarter in which such recovery is received for purposes of SectionΒ 4.5; and (ii)Β if not awarded as lost sales, be treated as profits or royalties, as appropriate, and shall be used to determine lost sales, which lost sales shall be treated as Net Sales of Licensed Products for purposes of SectionΒ 4.5 in the quarter in which such recovery is received, provided that in no event shall Licensee be obligated to pay to MedImmune more than [***]% of the compensatory damages described in this clauseΒ (ii); and (b)Β non-compensatory damages shall be allocated [***]% to Licensee and [***]% to MedImmune.
5.3.8. Biosimilar Applicants. If either Party receives a copy of an application for a Biosimilar Product in the Territory referencing a Licensed Product, or otherwise becomes aware that such an application has been submitted to a Regulatory Authority for Regulatory Approval in the Territory (such as in an instance described in SectionΒ 351(l)(9)(C) of the PHSA), then this SectionΒ 5.3.8 shall apply, and, within [***], such Party shall notify the other Party. The Party that is not the βreference product sponsor,β as defined in SectionΒ 351(l)(1)(A) of the PHSA, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to seek permission or take other steps necessary to view the application and related confidential information from the filer of the application for a Biosimilar Product (βBiosimilar Filerβ) to the extent permitted under SectionsΒ 351(l)(1)(B)(iii) and (C)Β of the PHSA (or the equivalent Applicable Laws in a country other than the U.S. Regardless of the Party that is the βreference product sponsorβ for purposes of such Biosimilar Product application:
(a) Licensee shall have the sole right to manage and prosecute biosimilar litigation in the Territory, subject to the provisions of this SectionΒ 5.3.8.
(b) Licensee will have the sole right to designate pursuant to SectionΒ 351(l)(1)(B)(i) and (ii)Β of the PHSA the outside counsel and in-house counsel who will receive confidential access to the Biosimilar Product application and manufacturing process information of the Biosimilar Filer.
(c) Licensee shall have the sole right to (i)Β list any Patents, including those licensed hereunder, insofar as they claim or cover the applicable Licensed Product as required pursuant to SectionΒ 351(l)(3)(A), SectionΒ 351(l)(5)(b)(i)(II), or SectionΒ 351(l)(7) of the PHSA, (ii)Β respond to any communications with respect to such lists from the Biosimilar Filer (including as described in 351(l)(3)(C)), and (iii)Β negotiate with the Biosimilar Filer as to whether to utilize a mechanism for information exchange other than that specified in SectionΒ 351(l)(1) of the PHSA and as to the Patents that will be subject to the initial litigation procedure as described in SectionΒ 351(l)(4) of the PHSA, to decide which Patent or Patents shall be selected for initial litigation under SectionΒ 351(l)(5)(B)(i)(II) of the PHSA.

(d) Licensee shall have the sole right to identify Patents, including those licensed to Licensee hereunder, or respond to relevant communications under any equivalent or similar listing to those described in the preceding clauseΒ (b) in any other jurisdiction outside of the United States. Upon Licenseeβs reasonable request, MedImmune shall assist in the preparation of such list and make such response after consulting with Licensee.
(e) Licensee shall consult with MedImmune prior to identifying any Licensed Patents or PhaseBio Selected Patents to a Biosimilar Filer as contemplated by this SectionΒ 5.3.8. Licensee shall consider in good faith advice and suggestions with respect thereto received from MedImmune, and notify MedImmune of any such lists or communications promptly after they are made, in each case to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
(f) Without limitation to the foregoing clausesΒ ((a)-(e)), if a Party receives a notice of commercial marketing from any Biosimilar Filer pursuant to SectionΒ 351(a) of the PHSA, or any equivalent or similar certification or notice in any other country, such Party shall, within [***] of receiving any such notice, notify the other Party and provide the other Party with copies thereof.

8.3. Indemnification Procedures.
8.3.1. Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims in respect of a MedImmune Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee shall be made solely by MedImmune or Licensee, respectively (the βIndemnified Partyβ). The Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice (an βIndemnification Claim Noticeβ) of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under this ArticleΒ 8, but in no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses to the extent resulting from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims.
8.3.2. Control of Defense. The indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] after the indemnifying Partyβs receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice.

8.3.4. Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that shall not result in the applicable indemnitee(s) becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affecting the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, the indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with SectionΒ 8.3.2, the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the indemnifying Party to and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and making Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the

(d) Termination Rights.
(i) Market-Specific Safety/Efficacy Issue.
(A) Reasonably Curable. If the Parties mutually agree (including by agreement of their senior representatives or Senior Officers as provided in SectionΒ 9.2.4(c)), or the Independent Expert determines, that (1)Β a claimed Market-Specific Safety/Efficacy Issue is in fact a Market-Specific Safety/Efficacy Issue and (2)Β such Market-Specific Safety/Efficacy Issue is reasonably curable within six (6)Β months of Licenseeβs notice with the use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure, then within thirty (30)Β days of such mutual agreement or Independent Expert determination (as applicable), the Parties shall mutually agree in good faith upon a commercially reasonable written curative plan and Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to carry out such curative plan within six (6)Β months thereafter, or, failing such mutual agreement on a curative plan within thirty (30)Β days of such mutual agreement or Independent Expert determination (as applicable), Licensee shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such Safety/Efficacy Issue within six (6)Β months thereafter. If, despite Licenseeβs use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts, such Market-Specific Safety/Efficacy Issue is not cured within such six (6)-month period, then Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the country of the Territory where such Market-Specific Safety/Efficacy Issue exists upon thirty (30)Β daysβ written notice to MedImmune.
(B) Not Reasonably Curable. If the Parties mutually agree (including by agreement of their senior representatives or Senior Officers as provided in SectionΒ 9.2.4(c)), or the Independent Expert determines, that (1)Β a claimed Market-Specific Safety/Efficacy Issue is in fact a Market-Specific Safety/Efficacy Issue and (2)Β such Market-Specific Safety/Efficacy Issue is not reasonably curable within six (6)Β months of Licenseeβs notice with the use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure, then Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the country of the Territory where such Market-Specific Safety/Efficacy Issue exists upon thirty (30)Β daysβ written notice to MedImmune.
(ii) Global Safety/Efficacy Issue. If the Parties mutually agree (including by agreement of their senior representatives or Senior Officers as provided in SectionΒ 9.2.4(c)), or the Independent Expert determines, that a claimed Global Safety/Efficacy Issue is in fact a Global Safety/Efficacy Issue, then Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon thirty (30)Β daysβ written notice to MedImmune.
(iii) Market-Specific Commercial Viability Issue. If the Parties mutually agree (including by agreement of their senior representatives or Senior Officers as provided in SectionΒ 9.2.4(c)), or the Independent Expert determines, that a claimed Commercial Viability Issue with respect to the U.S., EU Market or China Market(s) is in fact a Commercial Viability Issue with respect to such Market(s), then Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Market(s) (but not in its entirety) upon thirty (30)Β daysβ written notice to MedImmune.

(iv) Global Commercial Viability Issue. If the Parties mutually agree (including by agreement of their senior representatives or Senior Officers as provided in SectionΒ 9.2.4(c)), or the Independent Expert determines, that any Commercial Viability Issue(s) constitutes a Global Commercial Viability Issue, then Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon thirty (30)Β daysβ written notice to MedImmune.

In the event that the AstraZeneca Product is withdrawn by a Regulatory Authority in both the United States and the EU Market, then Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety. Except as provided in the immediately foregoing sentence with respect to withdrawal in the United States and the EU Market, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, in the event that the AstraZeneca Product is withdrawn by a Regulatory Authority in a Market other than the United States, the EU Market or China, such withdrawal shall not permit Licensee to terminate this Agreement in whole or in part; provided, however, that in such event Licensee shall be relieved of further diligence obligations under SectionΒ 3.2, SectionΒ 3.3.1 and SectionΒ 3.5.1, as applicable, with respect to such Market.

The Parties agree that the Parties, as licensees of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provisions in any other country or jurisdiction.

(d) Licensee shall and hereby does, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees to, effective as of the effective date of termination, grant MedImmune an exclusive, royalty-free (except to the extent set forth in SectionΒ 9.4.2(d)(i)) license, with the right to grant multiple tiers of sublicenses, under the Licensee Termination Know-How, Licensee Termination Patents, and Licenseeβs interest in Joint Inventions and Joint Patents to Exploit and Manufacture in the Territory any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product; provided that MedImmune is not granted any license in this SectionΒ 9.4.2(d) with respect to any Other Active contained in a Combination Product for which (x)Β no PhaseΒ II Clinical Trial has been Initiated for the applicable Combination Product as of the effective time of termination or (y)Β the Licensee Termination Know-How with respect to such Other Active or the Licensee Termination Patents that claim such Other Active are licensed to Licensee or any of its Affiliates by a Third Party and Licensee does not have the right, consistent with the terms and conditions of the applicable Third Party agreement as of the termination of this Agreement, to grant a sublicense to MedImmune under such Licensee Termination Know-How or Licensee Termination Patents with respect to such Other Active contained in a Combination Product. The Parties further agree as follows:

(ii) MedImmuneβs royalty payment obligations under this SectionΒ 9.4.2(d) (if any) shall be subject to reduction in accordance with SectionΒ 4.5.3, mutatis mutandis, provided that such royalty reductions shall be subject to the limitation set forth in SectionΒ 4.5.4, mutatis mutandis. Royalties under this SectionΒ 9.4.2(d) (if any) shall be payable with respect to each Licensed Product and each country in the Territory on Net Sales during the period beginning on the date of the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country by MedImmune or any of its Affiliates or licensees (other than Licensee or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) and ending on the later to occur of (A)Β the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim of the Licensed Patents and Licensee Termination Patents covering the manufacture, use or sale of such Licensed Product in such country and (B)Β the expiration of the Regulatory Exclusivity Period, if any, for such Licensed Product in such country (the βTermination Royalty Periodβ); provided, however, that the Termination Royalty Period for a Licensed Product in a country shall terminate if, and at such time as, the Generic Competition Threshold (mutatis mutandis, as specified below) for such Licensed Product in such country is first met or exceeded.

(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, MedImmune shall have the right at any time in MedImmuneβs sole discretion to terminate the license granted pursuant to this SectionΒ 9.4.2(d) on written notice, in which case, in the case of a termination of such license in its entirety, MedImmune shall be relieved of any applicable royalty or other payment obligation in connection therewith. Notwithstanding any such termination of the license granted pursuant to this SectionΒ 9.4.2(d), in the event that subsequent to such termination MedImmune or any of its Affiliates use any Regulatory Documentation assigned to MedImmune in SectionΒ 9.4.2(b) to obtain or maintain any Regulatory Approval for a Licensed Product, then MedImmune shall remain obligated with respect to any royalty payment owed pursuant to SectionΒ 9.4.2(d)(i) and (ii)Β in connection applicable Net Sales, calculated pursuant to SectionΒ 9.4.2(d)(i) and (ii)Β as if such assigned Regulatory Documentation were Licensee Terminated Know-How for which MedImmune retained a license under SectionΒ 9.4.2(d).

MedImmune shall pay such amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Third Party agreement, unless MedImmune declines or terminates such sublicense rights in accordance with this SectionΒ 9.4.2(e). Within [***] of MedImmuneβs receipt of such notice, MedImmune shall have the right, upon written notice to Licensee, to decline any sublicense under such Third Party agreement, in which case MedImmune will be deemed not to have received license rights under any such Third Party agreement as of the effective date of termination of this Agreement. If MedImmune does not decline any such Third Party agreement within such ninety (90)-day period, MedImmune shall have the right in its sole discretion to terminate the sublicense under such Third Party agreement at any time following such [***] period.

(i) in the event that such termination occurs after Initiation of the first Phase II Clinical Trial with respect to a Licensed Product in the Terminated Territory, in consideration for such license MedImmune shall pay to Licensee a royalty on Net Sales (mutatis mutandis, with references to βLicenseeβ in the definition of Net Sales deemed to be references to MedImmune for purposes of this SectionΒ 9.4.3(d)) of Licensed Products by MedImmune, its Affiliates and its and their sublicensees in the Terminated Territory, at a commercially reasonable rate that takes into account the relative contributions of the Parties (including for purposes of valuing such relative contributions any contribution of Licensee, taking into account (x)Β any Other Active in any Combination Product for which a PhaseΒ II Clinical Trial has been Initiated as of the effective date of termination and for which MedImmune receives a license pursuant to SectionΒ 9.4.3(d) and (y)Β any Licensee Termination Know-How that may be included in the Regulatory Documentation transferred to MedImmune pursuant to SectionΒ 9.4.3(b)), which rate (the βTerminated Territory Royalty Rateβ) shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing; provided, however, that if the Parties fail to reach mutual written agreement on the Terminated Territory Royalty Rate within the Terminated Territory Discussion Period, then either Party may require the Terminated Territory Royalty Rate to be determined in accordance with SectionΒ 10.7. For purposes of this Agreement, the βTerminated Territory Discussion Periodβ shall mean the ninety (90)-day period commencing upon Licenseeβs receipt of written notice from MedImmune that MedImmune intends to pursue the Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Terminated Territory; provided that (A)Β MedImmune shall notify Licensee in writing of its initial decision to pursue or not to pursue the Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Terminated Territory within one (1)Β year after the effective date of termination, and (B)Β if MedImmune initially elects not to pursue the Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Terminated Territory pursuant to clause (A), MedImmune shall promptly notify Licensee in

writing of any future decision to pursue such Development or Commercialization in the Terminated Territory.
(ii) MedImmuneβs royalty payment obligations under this SectionΒ 9.4.3(d) (if any) shall be subject to reduction in accordance with SectionΒ 4.5.3, mutatis mutandis, provided that such royalty reductions shall be subject to the limitation set forth in SectionΒ 4.5.4, mutatis mutandis. Royalties under this SectionΒ 9.4.3(d) (if any) shall be payable with respect to each Licensed Product in the Terminated Territory on Net Sales during the period beginning on the date of the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in the Terminated Territory by MedImmune or any of its Affiliates or licensees (other than Licensee or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) and ending on the later to occur of (A)Β the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim of the Licensed Patents and Licensee Termination Patents covering the manufacture, use or sale of such Licensed Product in the Terminated Territory and (B)Β the expiration of the Regulatory Exclusivity Period, if any, for such Licensed Product in the Terminated Territory (the βTerminated Territory Royalty Periodβ); provided, however, that the Terminated Territory Royalty Period for a Licensed Product in the Terminated Territory shall terminate if, and at such time as, the Generic Competition Threshold (mutatis mutandis, as specified below) for such Licensed Product in the Terminated Territory is first met or exceeded. For purposes of the foregoing, references to AstraZeneca Product in SectionΒ 1.61 shall be deemed to refer to Licensed Product, and references to Generic Ticagrelor Products in SectionΒ 1.61 shall be deemed to refer to Biosimilar Products (mutatis mutandis, as specified below), and references to Licensee and its Affiliates in SectionΒ 1.20 shall be deemed to refer to MedImmune and its Affiliates.
(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, MedImmune shall have the right at any time in MedImmuneβs sole discretion to terminate the license granted pursuant to this SectionΒ 9.4.3(d) on written notice, in which case, in the case of a termination of such license in its entirety, MedImmune shall be relieved of any applicable royalty or other payment obligation in connection therewith. Notwithstanding any such termination of the license granted pursuant to this SectionΒ 9.4.3(d), in the event that subsequent to such termination MedImmune or any of its Affiliates use any Regulatory Documentation assigned to MedImmune in SectionΒ 9.4.3(b) to obtain or maintain any Regulatory Approval for a Licensed Product in the Terminated Territory, then MedImmune shall remain obligated with respect to any royalty payment owed pursuant to SectionΒ 9.4.3(d)(i) and (ii)Β in connection applicable Net Sales in the Terminated Territory, calculated pursuant to SectionΒ 9.4.3(d)(i) and (ii)Β as if such assigned Regulatory Documentation were Licensee Terminated Know-How for which MedImmune retained a license under SectionΒ 9.4.3(d).
(e) notwithstanding any other provision of this SectionΒ 9.4.3 to the contrary, to the extent the Licensee Termination Patents in the Terminated Territory include any Patent licensed to Licensee, its Affiliate or Licenseeβs or its Affiliateβs Sublicensee by a Third Party that is subject to royalty or milestone payment obligations to such Third Party with respect to Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products, then Licensee shall so notify

MedImmune shall pay such amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Third Party agreement, unless MedImmune declines or terminates such sublicense rights in accordance with this SectionΒ 9.4.3(e). Within [***] of MedImmuneβs receipt of such notice, MedImmune shall have the right, upon written notice to Licensee, to decline any sublicense under such Third Party agreement, in which case MedImmune will be deemed not to have received license rights under any such Third Party agreement as of the effective date of termination of this Agreement with respect to the Terminated Territory. If MedImmune does not decline any such Third Party agreement within such [***] period, MedImmune shall have the right in its sole discretion to terminate the sublicense under such Third Party agreement at any time following such [***] period. For clarity, any such Third Party royalty obligations described in this SectionΒ 9.4.3(e) are in addition to the royalties payable by MedImmune to Licensee for the licenses granted by Licensee pursuant to SectionΒ 9.4.3(b), the first sentence of SectionΒ 9.4.3(d) and SectionΒ 9.4.3(f);

Licensee shall supply such Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products at a supply price equal to Licenseeβs actual, fully-burdened cost (as determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied) to Manufacture such Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products, as applicable; provided that, in the case of a termination by Licensee pursuant to SectionΒ 9.2.1, the supply price for Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products shall be (A)Β [***] of Licenseeβs actual, fully-burdened cost (as determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied) to Manufacture clinical supplies of such Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products, as applicable, and (B)Β [***] of Licenseeβs actual, fully-burdened cost (as determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied) to Manufacture commercial supplies of such Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products, as applicable.

MISCELLANEOUS
10.1. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (other than an obligation to make payments) when such failure or delay is caused by or results from events beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorist acts, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances (whether involving the workforce of the non-performing Party or of any other Person), acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority (except to the extent such delay results from the breach by the non-performing Party or any of its Affiliates of any term or condition of this Agreement). The non-performing Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure within [***] after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform. Without limitation to the foregoing, in the event that the suspension of performance continues for [***] after the date of the occurrence and such suspension of performance would constitute a material breach of this Agreement in the absence of this SectionΒ 10.1, MedImmune shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to SectionΒ 9.2.1 without regard to this SectionΒ 10.1, except that in such event no cure period shall apply and MedImmune shall have the right in its sole discretion to effect such termination upon written notice to Licensee, either solely with respect to the country affected by such non-performance or in its entirety.

10.3. Assignment. Neither Party may assign its rights or, except as permitted in SectionΒ 3.8, delegate its obligations under this Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder without the other Partyβs consent:

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)Β such provision shall be fully severable, (b)Β this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c)Β 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)Β 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.

10.6. Dispute Resolution.
10.6.1. Except as provided in SectionΒ 3.5.7, SectionΒ 4.12, SectionΒ 5.2.7, SectionΒ 9.2.4 or SectionΒ 10.12, if a dispute arises between the Parties in connection with or relating to this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith (a βDisputeβ), then either Party shall have the right to refer such Dispute to the Senior Officers for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations during a period of [***]. Any final decision mutually agreed to by the Senior Officers shall be set forth in writing and signed by both Parties, whereupon it will be conclusive and binding on the Parties.
10.6.2. If such Senior Officers are unable to resolve any such Dispute within such [***] period, except as otherwise set forth in SectionΒ 3.5.7, SectionΒ 4.12, SectionΒ 5.2.7, SectionΒ 9.2.4, SectionΒ 10.6.5, SectionΒ 10.7 or SectionΒ 10.12, either Party shall be free to institute binding arbitration in accordance with SectionΒ 10.6.3 upon written notice to the other Party (an βArbitration Noticeβ) and seek such remedies as may be available.
10.6.3. Upon receipt of an Arbitration Notice by a Party, the applicable Dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a panel of three (3)Β experts with relevant industry experience (the βArbitratorsβ). Each of Licensee and MedImmune shall promptly select one (1)Β Arbitrator, which selections shall in no event be made later than [***] after the notice of initiation of arbitration. The third Arbitrator shall be chosen promptly by mutual agreement of the Arbitrator chosen by Licensee and the Arbitrator chosen by MedImmune, but in no event later than [***] after the date that the last of such Arbitrators was appointed. The Arbitrators shall determine what discovery will be permitted, consistent with the goal of reasonably controlling the cost and time that the Parties must expend for discovery; provided that the Arbitrators shall permit such discovery as they deem necessary to permit an equitable resolution of the dispute. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (or its successor entity) (βAAAβ) in accordance with the then current Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association including the Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes (including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection), except as modified in this Agreement. The arbitration shall be held in the State of New York. The Arbitrators shall, within [***] after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The decision or award rendered by the Arbitrators shall be final and non-appealable, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with Applicable Law in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitratorsβ authority to award special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages shall be subject to the limitation set forth in SectionΒ 8.4. The Arbitrators shall not be authorized to reform, modify or materially change this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereunder.
10.6.4. Each Party shall bear its own counsel fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the dispute resolution procedures described in this SectionΒ 10.6, and

shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Arbitrators and all other general fees related to any arbitration described in SectionΒ 10.6.3; provided, however, the Arbitrators shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing Party, and if so, to award to that prevailing Party reimbursement for any or all of its reasonable counsel fees, costs and disbursements (including expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, or travel expenses), or the fees and costs of the Arbitrators. Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, during the period of time that any arbitration proceeding described in SectionΒ 10.6.3 is pending under this Agreement, the Parties shall continue to comply with all those terms and provisions of this Agreement that are not the subject of such pending arbitration proceeding. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deny any Party the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction 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 Senior Officers or any ongoing arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings and decisions of the Arbitrator under this SectionΒ 10.6 shall be deemed Confidential Information of both Parties under ArticleΒ 6.
10.6.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Dispute arises with respect to the validity, scope, enforceability, inventorship or ownership of any Patent, Trademark or other intellectual property rights, either Party may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with SectionsΒ 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 (or, as applicable, with any patent or trademark authority of competent jurisdiction) to resolve such Dispute, and no such Dispute shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to SectionΒ 10.6.2 or SectionΒ 10.6.3.
10.7. Expedited Determination of Royalty Rate. If the Parties are unable to reach mutual agreement as to the Termination Royalty Rate under SectionΒ 9.4.2(d) or the Terminated Territory Royalty Rate under SectionΒ 9.4.3(d) within the period specified such Section, then either Party shall have the right to refer such disagreement to MedImmuneβs senior representative for the AstraZeneca Product and Licenseeβs Chief Financial Officer or VP of Marketing/Chief Commercial Officer (or their respective designees) for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations during a period of [***]. Any final decision mutually agreed to by such senior representatives (or such designees) shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. If such senior representatives (or such designees) are unable to resolve any such disagreement within such ten (10)-Business Day period, then, upon the written request of either Party, the determination of the Termination Royalty Rate, the Terminated Territory Royalty Rate or the reasonably allocable amount (as applicable) shall be referred to an Independent Financial Expert. βIndependent Financial Expertβ means (a)Β an independent, appropriately qualified Third Party expert at KPMG, ErnstΒ & Young, Deloitte or PwC who is acceptable to both Parties or other Third Party expert mutually agreed by the Parties or (b)Β if the Parties fail to agree on an independent Third Party expert in accordance with the preceding clauseΒ (a) within [***] after such request for referral, an independent, appropriately qualified Third Party expert at KPMG, ErnstΒ & Young, Deloitte or PwC who is selected by mutual agreement of (i)Β an independent, appropriately qualified Third Party expert at KPMG, ErnstΒ & Young, Deloitte or PwC selected by MedImmune within [***] after such request for referral and (ii)Β an independent, appropriately

103
qualified Third Party expert at KPMG, ErnstΒ & Young, Deloitte or PwC selected by Licensee within [***] after such request for referral (such selection to be made within [***] after the Parties have selected their respective independent Third Party experts); provided that, in each case ((a) and (b)), if at the time of the disagreement either Party is currently utilizing the services of KPMG, ErnstΒ & Young, Deloitte or PwC in any significant respect, the Parties will not select an expert from such firm, unless the Parties otherwise agree; provided, further, that, in each case ((a) and (b)), if at the time of the disagreement one or both Parties is currently utilizing the services of each of KPMG, ErnstΒ & Young, Deloitte or PwC in any significant respect, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to selectΒ an independent, appropriately qualified Third Party not employed by or a principal in any such firm. The sole authority of the Independent Financial Expert will be to determine Termination Royalty Rate, the Terminated Territory Royalty Rate or the reasonably allocable amount (as applicable). The Independent Financial Expertβs determination shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The Independent Financial Expert shall be required to make his or her determination within [***] after his or her selection as the Independent Financial Expert. The costs of such Independent Financial Expert shall be (x)Β in the event of a termination pursuant to SectionΒ 9.2.1, paid by the Breaching Party, and (y)Β in the event of any other termination, shared equally by the Parties.
10.8. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Service.
10.8.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

10.8.2. Jurisdiction.

The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive their right to a jury trial.

This Agreement, together with the Schedules attached hereto, sets forth and constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior agreements, understandings, promises and representations, whether written or oral, with respect thereto.

10.11. English Language. This Agreement has been prepared in the English language, and the English language shall control its interpretation. All notices and other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version thereof and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall control.
10.12. Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in SectionΒ 2.5, ArticleΒ 5 and ArticleΒ 6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and that such other Party would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles may result in irreparable injury to such other Party for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles, the non-breaching Party shall have the right to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive or other equitable relief, including specific performance, in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity.

10.13. Waiver 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 such 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 except as expressly set forth herein.
10.14. No Benefit to Third Parties. Except as provided in ArticleΒ 8, 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 on any other Persons.
