V.	LICENSEE’S PARTNERING RIGHT

5.1 Generally. Licensee shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence of the Triggering Event, to exercise the Partnering Right; provided, however, that, as conditions precedent to the exercise of the Partnering Right, Licensee shall first provide to Bayer the Partnering Right Notification and grant to Bayer the exclusive right to undergo the First Offer Right Procedure described in Section 5.4 below. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall not have the right to exercise the Partnering Right unless and until: (i) Bayer elects not to undergo the First Offer Right Procedure, as set forth in Section 5.3.2 below; or (ii) Bayer elects to

undergo the First Offer Right Procedure and the First Offer Right Procedure is deemed terminated, as set forth in Sections 5.4.4.1 and 5.4.6.1 below.

5.2 Partnering Right Notification. In the event that Licensee wishes to exercise the Partnering Right, Licensee shall first provide to Bayer the Partnering Right Notification. The exclusive right to undergo the First Offer Right Procedure described in Section 5.4 below shall be deemed granted by Licensee to Bayer upon delivery of the Partnering Right Notification to Bayer.

5.3 First Offer Right Procedure Election. Within *** of delivery of the Partnering Right Notification by Licensee, Bayer shall have to elect whether or not to undergo the First Offer Right Procedure.

5.3.1 Election to Undergo First Offer Right Procedure. If Bayer elects to undergo the First Offer Right Procedure, then Bayer shall provide Licensee with written notice of its election to do so within such *** period (the “Election Notification”) and the Parties shall then be obligated to undergo the First Offer Right Procedure set forth in Section 5.4 below.

5.3.2 Election Not to Undergo First Offer Right Procedure. If Bayer either: (i) does not deliver the Election Notification to Licensee within the *** notice period; or (ii) elects not to undergo the First Offer Right Procedure; then, in each case, the conditions precedent to the exercise of the Partnering Right shall be deemed satisfied and Licensee shall have the right (but not the obligation), at any time thereafter, to exercise the Partnering Right, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

5.4 First Offer Right Procedure.

5.4.1 Step One: Exclusive Negotiation. For a period of *** after Licensee’s receipt of the Election Notification from Bayer, or such other time frame as may be mutually agreed to by the Parties (the “ROFN Period”), Licensee shall be obligated to negotiate exclusively with Bayer, and both Parties shall negotiate in good faith, to conclude a term sheet for a potential business transaction between the Parties on the basis of the Preferred Deal Structure (a “Term Sheet”).

5.4.1.1 If the Parties conclude the Term Sheet prior to the expiration of the ROFN Period, then, upon conclusion of the Term Sheet, the First Offer Right Procedure shall automatically expire and the Parties shall be obligated to conclude a definitive written agreement on the basis of the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet. The Parties shall further be obligated to utilize Commercial Reasonable Efforts to conclude such definitive written agreement within *** after the conclusion of the Term Sheet.

5.4.1.2 the Parties are unable to conclude a Term Sheet prior to the expiration of the ROFN Period, then the First Offer Right Procedure shall continue to “Step Two: Initial Offer Decision”, as set forth in Section 5.4.2 below.

5.4.2 Step Two: Initial Offer Decision. Immediately after expiration of the ROFN Period, Licensee shall notify Bayer in writing whether Licensee accepts or rejects the terms and conditions last offered by Bayer to Licensee during the ROFN Period (the “Initial Offer”).

5.4.2.1 If Licensee accepts the Initial Offer, then the First Offer Right Procedure shall automatically expire and the Parties shall be obligated to conclude a written agreement on the basis of the terms and conditions set forth in the Initial Offer. The Parties shall further be obligated to utilize Commercially Reasonable Efforts to diligently conclude such a written agreement within *** of delivery to Bayer of Licensee’s written notification accepting the Initial Offer.

5.4.2.2 If Licensee rejects the Initial Offer and decides not to proceed with the Partnering Right, then Licensee shall deliver written notice thereof to Bayer. Upon delivery of such written notice by Licensee, the First Offer Right Procedure shall expire and Licensee shall thereafter be precluded from exercising the Partnering Right, unless Licensee re-satisfies the conditions precedent to the exercise of the Partnering Right set forth in Section 5.1 above.

5.4.2.3 If Licensee rejects the Initial Offer and decides to proceed with the Partnering Right, then Licensee shall deliver written notice thereof to Bayer and the First Offer Right Procedure shall continue to “Step Three: Solicitation of Third Party Offers”, as set forth in Section 5.4.3 below.

5.4.3 Step Three: Solicitation of Third Party Offers. Licensee shall have the right, but not the obligation, for a period of *** after receipt by Bayer of Licensee’s written notification rejecting the Initial Offer (the “Third Party Offer Period”), to solicit and receive Third Party Offers (and to complete any due diligence to be conducted by the applicable Third Parties). The Parties agree that prior to the expiration of the Third Party Offer Period, or within such other period of time as may be mutually agreed by the Parties, the Parties shall select, by mutual agreement, an Independent Auditor to carry out the Independent Audit set forth in Section 5.4.6 below. No later than *** after the expiration of the Third Party Offer Period, Licensee shall determine whether or not it desires to exercise the Partnering Right with respect to a particular Third Party Offer (the “Preferred Third Party Offer”).

5.4.3.1 If Licensee desires to exercise the Partnering Right with respect to the Preferred Third Party Offer, then Licensee shall, within such *** period after expiration of the Third Party Offer Period, notify Bayer, in writing, of such desire (the “Notice of Third Party Offer”) and enclose the Preferred Third Party Offer (except for the financial consideration to be paid by the Third Party thereunder) with the Notice of Third Party Offer. Concurrently with the delivery of the Notice of Third Party Offer and disclosure of the Preferred Third Party Offer to Bayer, Licensee shall disclose the Preferred Third Party Offer (including the financial consideration to be paid by the Third Party thereunder) to the Independent Auditor

(who shall be instructed not to review the Preferred Third Party Offer until, if ever, it receives written instruction to do so pursuant to Section 5.4.6). Upon delivery of the Notice of Third Party Offer to Bayer, Licensee shall be deemed to have granted to Bayer, and Bayer shall have the right to exercise, an exclusive right to make Licensee a Final Offer, and the First Offer Right Procedure shall continue to “Step Four: Final Offer by Bayer”, as set forth in Section 5.4.4 below.

5.4.3.2 If Licensee determines that it does not desire to proceed with the exercise of the Partnering Right, or in any case fails to provide Bayer with the Notice of Third Party Offer within *** after expiration of the Third Party Offer Period, then the First Offer Right Procedure shall automatically expire and Licensee shall thereafter be precluded from exercising the Partnering Right, unless Licensee re-satisfies the conditions precedent to the exercise of the Partnering Right set forth in Section 5.1 above.

5.4.4 Step Four: Final Offer by Bayer. Upon receipt by Bayer of a Notice of Third Party Offer from Licensee, Bayer shall have the exclusive right (but not the obligation) to offer to Licensee terms and conditions for a business transaction with Licensee that are substantially based on the structure of the business transaction contemplated by the Preferred Third Party Offer (the “Final Offer”). Bayer shall have *** from the date of receipt of the Notice of Third Party Offer to provide Licensee with the Final Offer (the “Final Offer Period”).

5.4.4.1 If Bayer does not provide Licensee with a Final Offer within the Final Offer Period, then the First Offer Right Procedure shall be deemed terminated and Licensee shall have the right (but not the obligation), at any time thereafter, to exercise the Partnering Right, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that any business transaction Licensee concludes pursuant to said exercise of the Partnering Right must be based on the structure of the business transaction contemplated in the Preferred Third Party Offer.

5.4.4.2 If Bayer provides Licensee with a Final Offer within the Final Offer Period, then the First Offer Right Procedure shall continue to “Step Five: Final Offer Decision”, as set forth in Section 5.4.5 below. Concurrently with the provision of the Final Offer to Licensee, Bayer shall provide the Final Offer to the Independent Auditor (who shall be instructed not to review the Preferred Third Party Offer until, if ever, it receives written instruction to do so pursuant to Section 5.4.6).

5.4.5 Step Five: Final Offer Decision. Licensee shall have *** from the date of receipt of the Final Offer from Bayer to notify Bayer whether Licensee accepts or rejects the Final Offer.

5.4.5.1 If Licensee accepts the Final Offer, then Licensee shall notify Bayer in writing of Licensee’s acceptance of the Final Offer. The First Offer Right Procedure shall automatically expire upon delivery of such written notice by Licensee and the Parties shall

thereafter be obligated to conclude a definitive written agreement on the basis of the terms and conditions set forth in the Final Offer. The Parties shall further be obligated to utilize Commercially Reasonable Efforts to diligently conclude such a written agreement within *** after delivery to Bayer of Licensee’s written notification accepting the Final Offer.

5.4.5.2 Licensee shall only have the right to reject the Final Offer on the grounds that the Preferred Third Party Offer is Substantially Better than the Final Offer. If Licensee rejects the Final Offer on this basis, then Licensee shall notify Bayer of its rejection of the Final Offer in writing and the First Offer Right Procedure shall continue to “Step Six: Independent Audit”, as set forth in Section 5.4.6 below.

5.4.6 Step Six: Independent Audit. The Independent Auditor shall be instructed by the Parties, in writing, to conduct an audit of the Preferred Third Party Offer and Final Offer to determine, on the basis of the Guidelines, whether or not the Preferred Third Party Offer is Substantially Better than the Final Offer (the “Independent Audit”). The Independent Auditor shall have *** from the date of receipt of the written instruction to conduct the Independent Audit to complete the Independent Audit and to provide its determination to both Parties concurrently in writing. The Independent Auditor’s determination shall be final and binding on the Parties, unless such a determination involves alleged fraud, breach of this Agreement, or the construction or interpretation of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. All fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor, including any Third Party support staff or other costs incurred by the Independent Auditor with respect to the Independent Audit, shall be borne equally by the Parties, unless the Independent Auditor determines that the Preferred Third Party Offer was not Substantially Better than the Final Offer, in which case all fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be borne solely by Licensee.

5.4.6.1 If the Independent Auditor’s determination concludes, based on the Guidelines, that the Preferred Third Party Offer is Substantially Better than the Final Offer, then the First Offer Right Procedure shall be deemed terminated and Licensee shall have the right (but not the obligation), at any time thereafter, to exercise the Partnering Right, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that any business transaction Licensee concludes pursuant to said exercise of the Partnering Right must be substantially based on the terms and conditions contained in the Preferred Third Party Offer.

5.4.6.2 If the Independent Auditor’s determination concludes, based on the Guidelines, that the Preferred Third Party Offer is not Substantially Better than the Final Offer, then the First Offer Right Procedure shall automatically expire upon delivery of such determination by the Independent Auditor and the Parties shall be obligated to conclude a definitive written agreement on the basis of the terms and conditions set forth in the Final Offer. The Parties shall further be obligated to utilize Commercially Reasonable Efforts to diligently conclude such a written agreement within *** after receipt of the Independent Auditor’s determination.

VI.

6.3 Milestone Payments. In partial consideration of the license and rights granted to it by Bayer under this Agreement, Licensee shall make to Bayer the milestone payments set forth in this Section when due.

Milestone	Payment
Aggregate annual Net Sales of the Product in the Territory of $ ***	$	***

Aggregate annual Net Sales of the Product in the Territory of $ ***	$	***

6.3.3.2 Aggregate annual Net Sales shall be determined on a calendar year basis. Licensee shall provide Bayer with a report of Net Sales, as set forth in Section 6.6 below, which report shall be accompanied by payment of the applicable sales-related milestone payment in the event any sales-related milestone is achieved by the end of the calendar quarter for which the report is made. For the avoidance of doubt, the sales-related milestone payments set forth above shall be cumulative, such that if, in any given calendar year, aggregate annual Net Sales of the Product reach $***, then both sales-related milestone payments (i.e., $***) shall be due and payable by Licensee.

6.3.4 Payments Only Once. In no event shall Licensee be required to make any milestone payment set forth above more than once.

6.4 Royalty Payments.

6.4.1 In partial consideration of the license and rights granted to it by Bayer under this Agreement, Licensee shall pay to Bayer, on a country-by-country basis, during the Royalty Term in each such country, a royalty on Net Sales of the Product, in the following amounts:


Net Sales	Royalty (% of Net Sales)

On that portion of annual Net Sales of the Product from $* to $*		*	**%

On that portion of annual Net Sales of the Product above $* to $*		*	**%

On that portion of annual Net Sales of the Net Sales of the Product above $* to $*		*	**%

On that portion of annual Net Sales of the Product above $***		*	**%

6.4.2 The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Bayer Patents and Bayer Know-How licensed pursuant to this Agreement justify royalties of differing amounts with respect to sales of the Product, which royalties could be applied separately to the Product involving the exercise of such Bayer Patents and/or the incorporation of such Bayer Know-How, and that if such royalties were calculated separately, royalties relating to the Bayer Patents and royalties relating to the Bayer Know-How would last for different terms. In light of such considerations and for reasons of convenience, the Parties have hereby determined that blended royalty rates for the Bayer Patents and the Bayer Know-How licensed hereunder will apply during a single royalty term and that the utilization of such blended royalty rates is advantageous to both Parties.

6.5 Other Consideration.

6.5.1 Non-Monetary Consideration. If Licensee (or its Affiliates or Sublicensees) receives any form of consideration other than monetary consideration in connection with the Commercialization of the Product, including, by way of example, obtaining more favorable pricing for Licensee (or Affiliates or its Sublicensees) on other products, Bayer shall be entitled to payments hereunder based on the reasonable value of such consideration, the dollar amount of which shall be included in the calculation of Net Sales for purposes of calculating royalty payments under Sections 6.4 and 6.5.2 of this Agreement, as if it were payment in cash for sales of the Product.

6.5.2 Additional Royalties. Upon *** in each country of the Territory, Licensee agrees to pay to Bayer, for ***, a royalty equal to *** of annual Net Sales of the Product in such country.

6.6 Royalty Payments and Reports. All royalties payable by Licensee to Bayer shall be paid within *** after the end of each calendar quarter in which Net Sales are generated. Such payments shall be accompanied by a report for the applicable calendar quarter showing the Net Sales for the Product, on a country-by-country basis, the royalty rate, a calculation of the amount of royalties due and the disposition and quantities for promotional samples.

VII.

PAYMENTS

7.1 Payments. Any payments due under this Agreement shall be remitted to Bayer on or before the date specified in this Agreement and, in the event such date is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a commercial bank to be designated by Bayer at least ten (10) Business Days before payment is due.

7.2 Interest. Any failure by Licensee to make a payment within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date when due shall obligate Licensee to pay computed interest to Bayer at a rate per annum equal to the USD London Interbank Offered Rate for one month quoted on the due date by the European Central Bank plus a premium of ***. The interest period for such computed interest shall commence on the due date of the delinquent payment and end on the payment date. The computed interest rate shall be adjusted monthly and interest shall be compounded monthly, in arrears. In addition, interest shall be computed on the basis of the act/360 computation method, and shall be due and payable on the tender of the underlying principal payment.

7.3 Taxes. Bayer shall pay any and all taxes levied on account of all payments it receives under this Agreement. If laws or regulations require that taxes be withheld, Licensee will (i) deduct those taxes from the remittable payment, (ii) timely pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (iii) send proof of payment to Bayer within thirty (30) days of receipt of confirmation of payment from the relevant taxing authority. Licensee agrees to make all lawful and reasonable efforts to minimize such taxes to Bayer. If Licensee is so required, then Bayer and Licensee shall cooperate in all respects and take all reasonable steps to lawfully avoid the making of any such deductions.

7.4 Payment Currency. All payments due hereunder will be paid to Bayer in USD ($). Where payments are based on Net Sales in countries other than the US, the amount of such payments expressed in the currency of each country shall be converted into USD ($) at the exchange rate of the last Business Day of the applicable calendar quarter. The applicable exchange rate will be the daily 12 noon buying rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If no daily 12 noon buying rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is determined for the relevant currency, the Parties shall agree upon another reference rate.

7.5 Records of Revenues; Audits. Licensee shall maintain complete and accurate records which are relevant to the Net Sales, on a country-by-country basis, under this Agreement. Such records shall be open, upon reasonable notice during reasonable business hours, for a period of three (3) years from the end of the calendar year in which such sales occurred for audit by a certified public accountant selected by Bayer and reasonably acceptable to Licensee for the sole purpose of verifying for Bayer the correctness of the calculation and classification of Net Sales, on a country-by-country basis, under this Agreement. Such an audit of Licensee’s records shall not occur more often than once each year and, except as otherwise

provided herein, Bayer shall bear its own costs related to such an audit. Said certified public accountant shall provide the results of any such audit concurrently to Bayer and to Licensee. The independent, certified public accountant shall disclose to Bayer only the royalty amounts and sales-related milestone payments which the independent accountant believes to be due and payable hereunder to Bayer and shall disclose no other information revealed in such audit. Any and all records examined by such independent certified public accountant shall be deemed to be Licensee’s confidential Information for all purposes and shall not be disclosed by said independent, certified public accountant to any Third Party. In the event such an audit reveals underpayments by Licensee that are greater than *** of the amount due to Bayer, Licensee shall immediately, upon notice of such underpayment, (i) pay to Bayer the amount of the underpayment, plus interest as provided for in Section 7.2 from the time the amount was due, and (ii) reimburse to Bayer its out-of-pocket expenses related to such audit. In the event such an audit reveals underpayments by Licensee that are equal to or less than *** of the amount due to Bayer, Licensee shall immediately, upon notice of such underpayment, pay to Bayer the amount of such underpayment. In the event such an audit reveals overpayments by Licensee, then Bayer will, at option and sole discretion, either refund the overpayment to Licensee or credit the overpayment against future royalties payable by Licensee.

7.6 Audit Disagreement. In the event of a dispute between the Parties following any audit performed pursuant to Section 7.5 (an “Audit Disagreement”), either Party shall have the right to submit the Audit Disagreement to a mutually selected independent internationally recognized accounting firm for resolution, in accordance with the following procedure (the “Audit Disagreement Procedure”):

7.6.1 the Party wishing to submit the Audit Disagreement for resolution shall provide written notice to the other Party that it is invoking the Audit Disagreement Procedure;

7.6.2 within thirty (30) Business Days of the delivery date of such written notice, the Parties shall jointly select a recognized international accounting firm to act as an independent expert to resolve the Audit Disagreement;

7.6.3 within ten (10) Business Days of the selection of the independent expert, the Parties shall submit a description of the Audit Disagreement to the independent expert, which description may be in oral form if submitted to the independent expert, in person, by the Parties at the same time;

7.6.4 as soon as practicable after receipt of the description of the Audit Disagreement, the independent expert shall render a decision on the Audit Disagreement, which decision shall be final and binding on the Parties unless such Audit Disagreement involves alleged fraud, breach of this Agreement, or the construction or interpretation of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement;

7.6.5 all fees and expenses of the independent expert, including any Third Party support staff or other costs incurred by the independent expert with respect to hearing and deciding the Audit Disagreement, shall be borne by each Party in inverse proportion to the disputed amounts awarded to the Party by the independent expert. By way of example, if Party A disputes $100 and the independent expert awards Party A $60, then Party A would pay forty percent (40%) and Party B would pay sixty percent (60%) of the independent expert’s costs.

VIII.

CONFIDENTIALITY

8.1 Confidential Information. Except as expressly provided herein, the Parties agree that, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of *** thereafter, the receiving Party shall keep completely confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose except for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement any Information furnished to it by the disclosing Party hereto pursuant to this Agreement, except that to the extent that it can be established by the receiving Party, by competent proof, that such Information: (i) is or becomes public or available to the general public otherwise than through the act or default of the receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; (ii) is obtained by the receiving Party from a Third Party who is lawfully in possession of such Information and is not subject to an obligation of confidentiality or non-use owed to the disclosing Party or others; (iii) is previously known to the receiving Party prior to disclosure to the receiving Party by the disclosing Party under this Agreement, as shown by contemporaneous written evidence, and is not obtained or derived directly or indirectly from the disclosing Party; (iv) is disclosed by the receiving Party pursuant to the requirement of law, provided that the receiving Party has complied with the provisions set forth in Section 8.3; or (v) is independently developed by the receiving Party without the use of or reliance on any Information provided by the disclosing Party hereunder, as shown by contemporaneous written evidence.

8.2 Public Domain. For the purposes of this Agreement, specific information disclosed as part of the Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain or in the prior possession of the receiving Party merely because it is embraced by more general information in the public domain or by more general information in the prior possession of the receiving Party.

8.3 Legal Disclosure. If the receiving Party becomes legally required to disclose any Information provided by the disclosing Party, the receiving Party will give the disclosing Party prompt notice of such fact so that the disclosing Party may obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy concerning such disclosure and/or waive compliance with the non-disclosure provision of this Agreement. The receiving Party will reasonably cooperate with the disclosing Party in connection with the disclosing Party’s efforts to obtain any such order or other remedy. If any such order or other remedy does not fully preclude disclosure or the disclosing Party waives such compliance, the receiving Party will make such disclosure only to the extent that such disclosure is legally required and will use its reasonable efforts to have confidential treatment accorded to the disclosed Information.

8.4 Permitted Use and Disclosures . Each Party hereto may use or disclose Information disclosed to it by the other Party to the extent such use or disclosure: (i) is reasonably necessary in complying with Applicable Laws or otherwise submitting information to tax or other governmental authorities, (ii) is provided by the receiving Party to Third Parties, on a strictly as-needed basis, for consulting services, conducting Preclinical or Clinical Development, CMC/Process Development, Manufacturing, external testing, market research, or otherwise exercising its rights or performing its obligations hereunder; provided, that such Third Parties are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of such other Party’s Information as set forth herein for the benefit of such other Party for a period of at least the term of the agreement with such Third Party and for a period of *** thereafter; (iii) is included in submissions by the receiving Party to Governmental Authorities to facilitate the issuance of approvals for NDAs and NDA Equivalents for the Product, provided that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such Information; or (iv) is to Third Parties in connection with a receiving Party’s efforts to secure financing or enter into strategic partnerships, provided such Information is disclosed only on a need-to-know basis and under confidentiality provisions at least as stringent as those in this Agreement. Additionally, Bayer may disclose to Mitsui any Information received from Licensee hereunder; provided, that such disclosure is reasonably considered by Bayer to be necessary to comply with the terms and conditions of the Patent License Agreement; and further provided, that Mitsui is obligated to maintain the confidentiality of Licensee’s Information as set forth herein for the benefit of Licensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a receiving Party is required to make any such disclosure of the disclosing Party’s confidential Information, other than pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, the receiving Party will give reasonable advance notice to the disclosing Party of such disclosure and, save to the extent inappropriate in the case of patent applications, will use its reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Information prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise).

8.5 Public Disclosure. Except as otherwise required by law, (including, without limitation, disclosure requirements of the SEC, or of any stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party are publicly traded), neither Party shall issue a press release or make any other public disclosure concerning this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, without the prior written approval of such press release or public disclosure by the other Party. Each Party shall submit any such press release or public disclosure to the other Party for its prior review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that, it shall not be unreasonable for a Party to withhold consent with respect to any public announcement containing any of such Party’s confidential Information. If the receiving Party does not respond to the submission of a press release within fifteen (15) days from submission, the press release or public disclosure shall be deemed approved. The contents of any such press release or similar publicity that has been reviewed and approved by the reviewing Party can be re-released by either Party without a requirement for re-approval. The principles to be observed by Bayer and Licensee in public disclosures with respect to this Agreement shall be: (i) accuracy; (ii) compliance with applicable legal requirements; (iii) the requirements of confidentiality under this Article VIII; and (iv) normal business practice in the pharmaceutical industry for disclosures by companies comparable to Bayer and Licensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party

may issue such press releases as it determines, based on advice of counsel, are reasonably necessary to comply with law or for appropriate market disclosure. It is understood, however, that unless required by law, the Parties shall not disclose the specific financial terms and conditions of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other Party. In addition, if a public disclosure is required by law, including, without limitation, in a filing with the SEC, the disclosing Party shall, reasonably in advance of such filing or other disclosure, provide copies of the disclosure to the non-disclosing Party for the non-disclosing Party’s prior review and comment and shall give due consideration to any reasonable comments by the non-disclosing Party relating to such filing, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Agreement for which confidential treatment should be sought.

8.6 Confidential Terms. Except as expressly provided herein, each Party agrees not to disclose any terms of this Agreement to any Third Party without the written consent of the other Party; except that disclosures may be made as required by securities or other applicable laws, or to actual or prospective investors or corporate partners, or to a Party’s accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors. Bayer may disclose the terms of this Agreement to Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.

8.7 Injunctive Relief. The provisions of this Article VIII are necessary for the protection of the Parties’ business and goodwill and are considered by the Parties to be reasonable for such purpose. Each Party agrees that any breach of the terms of this Article VIII by it may cause the other Party substantial and irreparable harm and, therefore, in the event of any such breach by a Party, the other Party shall, in addition to other remedies that may be available to it, have the right to seek specific performance and other injunctive (whether preliminary or permanent) and equitable relief.

8.8 Survival. This Article VIII shall survive expiry and termination of this Agreement for any reason.

X.	INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

10.1 Ownership of Intellectual Property.

10.1.1 Bayer Intellectual Property. Licensee acknowledges that Bayer shall retain all of its right, title and interest in and to the Bayer Intellectual Property, and that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to convey any rights or proprietary interest in the Bayer Intellectual Property, other than the specific licenses and rights granted to Licensee pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

10.1.2 Licensee Intellectual Property. Bayer acknowledges that Licensee and its Affiliates shall retain all of their right, title and interest in and to the Licensee Intellectual Property, and that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to convey any rights or proprietary interest in the Licensee Intellectual Property to Bayer.

10.1.3 Inventions. All Inventions: (1) made solely by employees, consultants or contractors of Bayer shall be owned solely by Bayer; (2) made solely by employees, consultants or contractors of Licensee shall be owned solely by Licensee; and (3) made jointly by employees, consultants or contractors of both Parties shall be owned jointly by the Parties (a “Joint Invention”). Any Joint Invention within the Field shall be subject to the licenses and rights granted to Licensee under Section 2.1 of this Agreement and, thus subject to the royalty payments and other consideration set forth in Article VI. Each Party shall have the right to exploit Joint Inventions outside the Field, to the extent it can do so without infringing on the other Party’s other intellectual property, without compensation, liability or other obligation (including without limitation accounting obligations) to the other Party.

10.2 Prosecution of Patents and Related Activities.

10.2.1 Bayer Patents. Bayer shall be responsible, at its sole discretion and expense, for preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining (including conducting any interferences, reexaminations, reissues and oppositions) all Bayer Patents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Patents relating to Inventions owned solely by Bayer), in such countries it deems appropriate, by itself, through an Affiliate, or with Third Parties. Upon *** written notice to Licensee, Bayer may elect to abandon or discontinue the prosecution of any Bayer Patent and/or not to file, pay the maintenance fees, or conduct any further activities with respect to the Bayer Patents. In the event Bayer declines to file or, having filed, fails to further prosecute or maintain any Bayer Patents or to conduct any interferences, re-examinations, reissues, or oppositions with respect thereto, Bayer shall promptly notify Licensee (such notification to be given as early as possible which in no event will be less than *** prior to the date on which said Bayer Patents will become abandoned, such payment is due or such proceeding is scheduled to

occur). Thereafter, Licensee shall, at its sole expense, have the right to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Bayer Patents in such countries as it deem appropriate, and conduct any interferences, re-examinations, reissues or oppositions. Bayer agrees to assign all right, title and interest in and to such Bayer Patents to Licensee and to cooperate, at Licensee’s expense, in any manner reasonably requested by Licensee in connection with any such actions by Licensee; except that Bayer shall not be required to communicate directly with any inventors of the Bayer Patents who are not employees of Bayer or of its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, any Bayer Patent assigned to Licensee by Bayer as set forth in the preceding sentence shall cease being a Bayer Patent for all purposes under this Agreement.

10.2.2 Licensee Patents. Licensee shall be responsible, at its sole discretion and expense, for preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining (including conducting any interferences, re-examinations, reissues and oppositions) all Licensee Patents, including Patents relating to the Inventions owned solely by Licensee, in such countries it deems appropriate, by itself, through an Affiliate, or with Third Parties.

10.2.3 Joint Patents. Bayer and Licensee shall share equally all costs and expenses of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining patent applications and patents relating to Joint Inventions; except that, if either Party (the “Non-Electing Party”) elects not to pay its share for: (i) the filing of a patent application in any country in the Territory on any Joint Invention that the other Party reasonably believes is patentable, or (ii) the further prosecution or maintenance of any patent application or patent on any Joint Invention in any country in the Territory, or (iii) the filing of any divisional or continuing patent application (based on a prior patent application or patent) on a Joint Invention in any country in the Territory, the Non-Electing Party shall notify the other Party in writing in a timely manner and the other Party may do so at its own expense. In the event that the other Party elects to proceed with any such filing or further prosecution or maintenance, the Non-Electing Party shall assign its rights in and to such patent or patent application in such country to the other Party, and all of the Non-Electing Party’s rights in such patent or patent application in such country shall cease; except in the case of any such patent or patent application assigned by Licensee to Bayer which shall remain subject to the licenses and rights granted to Licensee under Section 2.1.

10.2.4 Cooperation; Request to Responsible Party. Bayer and Licensee shall each keep the other reasonably informed as to the status of patent matters described in this Section 10.2.1 and 10.2.3, including, without limitation, providing the other Party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any documents which will be filed in any patent office as far in advance of filing dates as feasible, and providing the other copies of any documents that such Party receives from such patent offices promptly after receipt, including notice of all interferences, reissues, re-examinations, oppositions or requests for patent term extensions. Each Party shall consider in good faith all reasonable requests made by the other Party with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and/or maintenance of the responsible Party’s Patents.

10.3 Infringement of Intellectual Property.

10.3.1 Notice of Infringement. A Party who learns of any infringement or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Bayer Intellectual Property or Licensee Intellectual Property or any Joint Invention shall promptly notify the other Party thereof and provide such other Party with all available evidence of such infringement or alleged infringement.

10.3.2 Enforcement Rights.

10.3.2.1 Bayer Intellectual Property. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Patent License Agreement with respect to the Existing Bayer Patents listed in Schedule 4b of this Agreement, Bayer, by itself, through an Affiliate, or with Third Party licensors of the Bayer Patents, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to initiate and conduct, at its sole expense, legal proceedings to enforce the Bayer Intellectual Property against any infringement or misappropriation by Third Parties or defend any declaratory judgment action involving the Bayer Patents (the “Enforcement Action”). If, within *** following receipt of a written notice of an infringement or misappropriation of any Bayer Intellectual Property or written notice of a declaratory judgment action alleging invalidity or unenforceability of a Bayer Patent, Bayer fails to initiate the Enforcement Action, then Licensee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to initiate and conduct the Enforcement Action in its own name and at its sole expense. Bayer agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff in any Enforcement Action initiated and conducted by Licensee, if requested by Licensee; provided, however, that Licensee agrees in writing to undertake to pay to Bayer all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Bayer in being so joined. Any award paid by Third Parties as a result of an Enforcement Action (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be applied first to reimburse the Party who initiated and conducted the Enforcement Action for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses and, if after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from such an award, said funds shall be allocated as follows: (1) punitive and exemplary damages shall be ***; and (2) compensatory damages shall be allocated to Licensee and be treated as Net Sales in the month awarded.

10.3.2.2 Licensee Intellectual Property. Licensee shall, by itself, through an Affiliate, or with Third Party licensors of any portion of the Licensee Intellectual Property, have the right (but not the obligation) to initiate and conduct, at its sole cost, legal proceedings to enforce the Licensee Intellectual Property against any infringement or misappropriation by Third Parties or defend any declaratory judgment action involving the Licensee Intellectual Property.

10.3.2.3 Joint Inventions. With respect to the initiation and conduct of legal proceedings to enforce Joint Inventions, each Party may proceed in such a manner as the law permits. Each Party shall bear its own cost and expense, and any award paid by Third Parties as a result of such legal proceedings (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be applied first to reimburse the Parties for their out-of-pocket costs and expenses on a pro-rata basis, and any remaining proceeds shall be allocated equitably between the Parties. If the Parties elect to cooperate in instituting and conducting legal proceedings to enforce Joint Inventions, the

costs and expenses thereof, and the sharing of any award there from, shall be shared by the Parties in such proportions as they may agree in writing.

10.3.3 Settlement of Claims; Cooperation. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Patent License Agreement with respect to the Existing Bayer Patents listed in Schedule 4b of this Agreement, neither Party shall enter into any settlement or compromise of any legal proceeding subject to Sections 10.3.2.1 or 10.3.2.3, which admits or concedes that any aspect of the Bayer Intellectual Property or any Joint Invention, respectively, is invalid or unenforceable, without the prior written consent of the other Party. The Party who initiates and conducts any legal proceeding subject to this Section 10.3.3 shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such legal proceeding. At the request and expense of the Party who initiates and conducts any legal proceeding subject to this Section 10.3.3, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate in connection with such Party’s initiation and conduct of such legal proceeding, including, without limitation, executing all necessary and proper documents and taking such actions as shall be appropriate to allow the other Party to institute and conduct such legal proceedings.

10.4 Claims of Infringement by Third Parties. If the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Product in the Field results in any Claim against Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, alleging infringement or misappropriation of Third Party Patents or Know-How, then Licensee shall defend any such Claim and be responsible for all damages incurred as a result thereof, unless such Claim is subject to indemnification by Bayer pursuant to Section 11.1 or the CMC Development, Manufacture and Supply Agreement. Bayer agrees to reasonably assist and cooperate with Licensee, at Licensee’s request and expense, in the defense of any such Claim by Licensee; except that Bayer shall not be required to communicate directly with any inventors of the Bayer Patents who are not employees of Bayer or of its Affiliates. If the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Product in the Field results in any Claim against Bayer, or its Affiliates, alleging infringement or misappropriation of Third Party Patents or Know-How, then Bayer shall notify Licensee of such Claim in accordance with Section 11.3 and Licensee shall defend such Claim and be responsible for all damages incurred as a result thereof, unless such Claim is subject to indemnification by Bayer pursuant to Section 11.1 or the CMC Development, Manufacture and Supply Agreement.

10.5 Third Party Patent Rights. If, during the Term, Licensee deems it necessary, in its sole discretion, to seek or obtain a license from any Third Party in order to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the Product in the Field pursuant to the rights and licenses granted to Licensee under Section 2.1, Licensee may do so, at its sole cost and expense; provided, however, that any failure by Licensee to obtain such a license from such a Third Party shall not be grounds for Bayer to claim any failure of Licensee to diligently Commercialize the Product in the Territory for use in the Field if such Commercialization of the Product would infringe or misappropriate the Third Party’s Patents or Know-How.

10.6 Trademarks. Licensee shall market the Product in the Territory under a trademark or trademarks (collectively, the “Trademarks”) selected by Licensee. Licensee shall own all right, title and interest in and to such Trademarks. Bayer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Licensee shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the Trademarks and the Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. name and logo, and accordingly agrees to, at no time during the Term of this Agreement, challenge or assist others to challenge the Trademarks or the registration thereof or attempt to register any trademarks, service marks, trade names or logos confusingly similar to the Trademarks or the Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. name and logo.

XI.

INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE

11.1 By Bayer. Bayer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, representatives and agents (each a “Licensee Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses resulting from Claims against a Licensee Indemnitee arising from or occurring as a result of: (i) any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by Bayer herein; or (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Bayer or its Affiliates; except, in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees.

11.2 By Licensee. Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bayer, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees consultants, representatives and agents (each a “Bayer Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses resulting from Claims against a Bayer Indemnitee, arising from or occurring as a result of: (i) any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by Licensee herein; (ii) the practice by Licensee of any license or right granted herein; (iii) any Development, testing, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Product by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees (including, without limitation, product liability claims); or, (iv) the negligence or willful misconduct of Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees; except, in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Bayer or its Affiliates.

11.3 Indemnification Procedure. In the event that a Claim subject to the indemnification provisions set forth in Sections 11.1 or 11.2 is made and a Licensee Indemnitee or Bayer Indemnitee, as applicable, intends to invoke its right to indemnification under this Article XI, Licensee or Bayer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) thereof, in writing. The Indemnitor shall have the sole right to control the defense and settlement of such Claim including the sole right to settle such a Claim, in its sole discretion, provided, however, that if any such settlement requires an admission of fault or liability by, or imposes any obligation on, a Licensee Indemnitee or Bayer Indemnitee, as the case may be, or the other Party, then the prior written consent of the Licensee Indemnitee or Bayer Indemnitee, and the Licensee or Bayer, as the case may be, shall be required before the Indemnitor may execute and deliver such a settlement. The Licensee Indemnitee or Bayer Indemnitee, as applicable, shall cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of such Claim (at the expense of Indemnitor), and refrain from engaging in any actions that

would adversely affect Indemnitor’s defense or settlement thereof. The Licensee Indemnitee or Bayer Indemnitee, as applicable, shall not, except at its own cost, voluntarily make any payment or incur any expense with respect to such a Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which the Indemnitor shall not be required to give.

11.4 Insurance. Each Party shall maintain, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees hereunder to maintain, a commercial general liability and product liability insurance program on terms customary in the pharmaceutical industry covering all activities and obligations of it, and, as the case may be, its Affiliates, hereunder, or other programs with comparable coverage, up to and beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement during (i) the period that any Product is being commercially distributed or sold by a Party, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, and (ii) a commercially reasonable period thereafter. In lieu of the insurance coverage described above, each Party shall have the right to undertake a program of self-insurance to cover its indemnity obligations hereunder, with financial protection comparable to that arranged by it for its own protection with regard to other products in its product line. Each Party shall provide the other with proof of such insurance program at the other Party’s written request.

11.5 Survival. This Article XI shall survive expiry and termination of this Agreement for any reason.

XII.

TERM AND TERMINATION

12.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the Royalty Term in the last country within the Territory (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated as provided in this Article XII.

12.2 Termination for Cause. The failure of a Party (the “Defaulting Party”) to comply with any of its material obligations under this Agreement, shall entitle the other Party (the “Notifying Party”) to give the Defaulting Party written notice requiring the Defaulting Party to cure such default. If such default is not cured within *** after receipt by the Defaulting Party of such written notice of default, the Notifying Party shall be entitled (without prejudice to any of its other rights at law or in equity, or conferred on it by the Agreement) to terminate this Agreement, by giving the Defaulting Party written notice of termination, which termination shall take effect immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a non-monetary default, if the default is not reasonably capable of being cured by the Defaulting Party within the *** cure period and the Defaulting Party is making a good faith effort to cure such default, the Notifying Party may not terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that the Notifying Party may terminate this Agreement if such default is not cured within *** after receipt by the Defaulting Party of the original written notice of default. The right of a Notifying Party to terminate this Agreement as herein above provided shall not be affected in any way by its waiver of, or failure to take action with respect to, any previous default of the Defaulting Party.

12.3 Termination for Insolvency. A Party shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement, effective upon written notice of such termination, in the event that: (i) voluntary or involuntary proceedings by or against the other Party are instituted in bankruptcy under any insolvency law, (ii) a receiver or custodian is appointed for the other Party, (iii) proceedings are instituted by or against the other Party for corporate reorganization or dissolution of such Party, which proceedings, if involuntary, shall not have been dismissed within *** after the date of filing, (iv) the other Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (v) substantially all of the assets of the other Party are seized or attached and not released within *** thereafter. Each Party agrees (to the extent it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit the termination of this Agreement or in any way modify the effects of such a termination as provided in this Agreement. Furthermore, each Party (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the other Party, but will suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such law had been enacted.

12.4 Termination for Challenge. Bayer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective upon *** written notice to Licensee, in the event that Licensee takes any action, serves any notice, or commences any proceeding seeking to revoke or challenge the validity of any of the Bayer Patents or if Licensee procures or assists a Third Party to take any such action.

12.5 Termination Upon Change of Control. Bayer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective upon *** prior written notice of such termination to Licensee, in the event that Licensee undergoes a Change of Control prior to the exercise of the Partnering Right by Licensee, pursuant to Article V of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such notice of termination must be delivered within *** after Licensee provides Bayer with written notice of such Change of Control.

12.6 Effect of Termination and Expiration.

12.6.1 Accrued Rights and Obligations. Termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part, for any reason shall not: (i) release any Party hereto from any liability which, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to the other Party or which is attributable to a period of time prior to such termination, nor (ii) preclude either Party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that the non-breaching Party may be entitled to injunctive relief as a remedy for any such breach.

12.6.2 Return of Information. Upon the termination of this Agreement, for any reason, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party all tangible Information of such other Party that is in said Party’s custody, possession or Control, except that said Party may retain one (1) copy of such tangible Information for archival purposes and for ensuring said Party’s compliance with Article VIII.

12.6.3 Stock on Hand. In the event this Agreement is terminated in its entirety for any reason, Licensee shall have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of Licensee’s commercial stock of the Product then on hand ***. Sales made pursuant to this clause shall be treated as Net Sales and royalty thereon shall be paid to Bayer.

12.7 Survival. The rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall extend beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement only to the extent expressly provided for herein, or to the extent that the survival of such rights or obligations is necessary to permit their complete fulfillment or discharge.
