Section 9.12 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction, then, to the extent that the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in a manner that is materially adverse to either party hereto, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and the enforceability and validity of the offending term or provision shall not be affected in any other situation or jurisdiction.

Section 9.13 Specific Performance. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached or violated. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that, without posting bond or other undertaking, the other party will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of the provisions of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action, suit or other proceeding instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. Each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or violation, it will not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

Section 9.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Copies of executed counterparts transmitted by telecopy, facsimile or other similar means of electronic transmission, including “PDF,” shall be considered original executed counterparts, provided receipt of such counterparts is confirmed.

Section 9.15 Guarantee. Kodiak Inc. irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the complete and timely performance of, and compliance with, all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions that are to be performed and complied with by the Kodiak GmbH under this Agreement. Kodiak Inc. hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may proceed directly against Kodiak Inc. in the event of non-performance by Kodiak GmbH. Kodiak Inc. is jointly and severally liable with Kodiak GmbH for the performance of, and compliance with, the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions to be performed and complied with by the Purchaser under this Agreement. Kodiak Inc. will pay and perform its liabilities and obligations under this Section 9.15 as soon as reasonably possible after valid demand for any payment or performance is made in writing to it. Kodiak Inc. hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives for the benefit of the Buyer any defenses to enforcement it may have (now or in the future) by reason of any circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this clause, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of its obligations under this Section 9.15 (except that Kodiak Inc. may assert the defense of payment in full of the obligations guaranteed by it hereunder).

Section 9.16 Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between the Buyer and the Sellers is solely that of purchaser and seller, and neither the Buyer nor any of the Sellers has any fiduciary or other special relationship with the other party or any of its Affiliates. This Agreement is not a partnership or similar agreement, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute the Buyer and the Sellers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity or legal form for any purposes, including any Tax purposes. The Buyer and the Sellers agree that they shall not take any inconsistent position with respect to such treatment in a filing with any Governmental Entity.

Section 9.17 Withholding.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, payments made or to be made to the Buyer or its assignees hereunder will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes, provided that the Sellers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the payments otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement any such Taxes as the Sellers may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such payments under applicable law (it being understood that, solely with respect to U.S. federal withholding Tax, Sellers shall not make any such deduction or withholding if Sellers have received, as applicable, either (i) a valid, properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that the Buyer or the relevant assignee, as applicable, is exempt from U.S. “backup” withholding Tax or (ii) a valid, properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable W-8, with any necessary accompanying attachments) certifying that the Buyer or the relevant assignee, as applicable, is exempt from U.S. federal withholding Tax under a United States income Tax treaty with respect to royalties and other income). If the Sellers are required by applicable law to deduct and withhold any Taxes from any such payment, then the sum payable by the Sellers shall be increased as necessary so that after deduction or withholding has been made for any such Tax (other than any Tax that is imposed on or measured by net income), the applicable recipient receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made (including such deduction or withholding applicable to such additional amount payable), and the Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless the applicable recipient against any such Taxes (or any Taxes imposed or asserted on, or attributable to, amounts payable hereunder, other than any such Tax that is imposed on or measured by net income) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the increase of the sum payable and the indemnification obligation described in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be required: (i) with respect to any non-Swiss withholding Tax (except to the extent such non-Swiss withholding Tax (A) is imposed as a result of an assignment by a Seller pursuant to Section 9.6, and would not have been imposed but for such assignment and (B) could not be avoided by the Buyer’s or an assignee of Buyer’s provision of applicable tax forms to Seller to the extent reasonably necessary under applicable law) or (ii) with respect to payments to any permitted assignee of Buyer pursuant to Section 9.6, to the extent relating to Taxes imposed on such permitted assignee pursuant to a law in effect on the date such permitted assignee acquired its interest in this Agreement, to the extent such Taxes exceed the Taxes that would have been imposed on Buyer pursuant to applicable law in effect on the date of such assignment (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the increase of the sum payable and the indemnification obligation shall remain required to the extent such Taxes imposed on such permitted assignee do not exceed the Taxes that would have been imposed on Buyer). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.17(a), an increase of the sum payable and the indemnification obligation shall also be required in case of any assignment by a Seller pursuant to Section 9.6 that gives rise to any tax that is imposed on a gross basis in lieu of a withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for such assignment.

-27-

(b) The Buyer hereby agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Sellers to mitigate the amount of any of such Taxes which Sellers bear pursuant to this Section 9.17, provided, however, that the Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion whether, or the extent to which, its investors shall be involved or be required to be involved in connection with the foregoing.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the parties hereunder shall make all payments required to be made pursuant to this Agreement in U.S. dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing from time to time by the other party, and (ii) any such payments made by the Buyer shall be made (A) solely with respect to any non-Swiss Taxes that are not U.S. federal withholding taxes and except in case of any assignment by a Seller pursuant to Section 9.6, without set-off, reduction or deduction, or withholding for or on account of such non-Swiss Taxes and (B) so long as the Sellers have provided to the Buyer a valid, properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and W-8BEN-E or other applicable form described in Section 4.1(b), without set-off, reduction or deduction, or withholding for or on account of any U.S. federal withholding taxes.

Section 9.18 Tax Treatment. The Buyer and Sellers agree that, for U.S. federal and Swiss income tax purposes, (a) payments received by the Sellers under this Agreement are for the acquisition or license of an interest in Intellectual Property Rights and/or funding the research services that will benefit both the Buyer and the Sellers, and (b) payments received by the Buyer under this Agreement are for the use of Intellectual Property Rights acquired and developed under this Agreement. To that end, the Buyer and Sellers acknowledge that Sellers may allocate all or a portion of the payments received under this Agreement to prepaid royalties and/or prepaid services (but not to any securities of the Sellers or rights to subscribe therein that Buyer may obtain), and the Buyer will allocate its payments received to the Intellectual Property Rights. The Buyer and Sellers agree that, if either determines in good faith that any provision hereunder is inconsistent with such treatment, the Buyer and Sellers shall substitute, by mutual consent, provisions consistent with such intended tax treatment for such inconsistent provision, and such provisions shall be effective as of the Effective Date.
