3.6 Third Party Royalties. If Anthera or its Affiliates or sublicensees are required to obtain a license or other similar right under any intellectual property rights of a Third Party that claim or cover the composition, method of making, or method of using a Licensed Product, Anthera shall have the right to offset [***] of the royalties and other consideration due to such

Third Party under such license or other similar right against the amount of royalties otherwise owed pursuant to Section 3.4; [***] Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the royalties payable by Anthera on the Net Sales of Licensed Products in a country on account of any reduction pursuant to this Section 3.6 be reduced by means of such reduction by an amount that is more than [***] of the royalties otherwise payable under Section 3.4.

3.7 Compulsory License. If a Third Party obtains a Compulsory License with respect to a particular Licensed Product in a specific country in the Territory, Lilly or Shionogi will promptly notify Anthera thereof. If the royalty rates payable by the grantee of the Compulsory License are less than the royalty rates applicable in such country as set forth in Section 3.4 above, then the royalty rates payable by Anthera with respect to sales of the applicable Licensed Product in such country will be [***].

Shionogi shall indemnify, defend and hold Anthera and its directors, officers, employees, and Affiliates harmless from and against any and all Damages incurred or suffered by each of them (excluding incidental or consequential Damages suffered or incurred by Anthera directly (as opposed to incidental or consequential Damages suffered or incurred by Third Parties who are, in turn, seeking the same from Anthera, which shall be covered by the indemnity set forth herein)) as a consequence of Claims based upon:

ARTICLE 8

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

8.1 Core Patent Prosecution and Maintenance. During the term of this Agreement, Anthera shall, at its expense, file, prosecute, and maintain those Core Patents prosecuted and maintained by Lilly prior to the Effective Date (such Core Patents, the “Lilly Core Patents”) in the United States and, to the extent possible with respect to a particular patent application or patent within the Lilly Core Patents, the Major Markets, as well as in the Additional Countries (as such term is defined below). During the term of this Agreement, Shionogi shall file, prosecute, and maintain those Core Patents prosecuted and maintained by Shionogi prior to the Effective Date (such Core Patents, the “Shionogi Core Patents”) in the United States and, to the extent possible with respect to a particular patent application or patent within the Shionogi Core Patents, the Major Markets, as well as in the Additional Countries; provided, however, that Shionogi may, at its sole discretion, elect to transfer such filing, prosecution and maintenance responsibilities to Anthera, in which event Anthera shall thereafter assume, at its expense, responsibility for the filing, prosecuting and maintenance of the Shionogi Core Patents in the United States, the Major Markets and Additional Countries. The Parties acknowledge that Exhibit D shall be updated within three (3) months after the Execution Date. Periodically during the term of the License Agreement, the Parties shall discuss and agree on those countries in the Territory (in addition to the Major Markets) in which Anthera or Shionogi, as applicable, shall file, prosecute, and maintain the Core Patents (such countries, the “Additional Countries”), whether additional patent applications or patents within the Licensed Patent Rights should be deemed to be Core Patents, and whether any Core Patents should be abandoned in any countries in the Territory; provided, however, that if the Parties do not agree that a particular country or countries should be included as Additional Countries, whichever of Anthera or Shionogi is responsible for filing, prosecuting, and maintaining the applicable Core Patents shall have the first right to file, prosecute, or maintain such Core Patents in such country or countries at its own expense and, if Anthera or Shionogi elects not to do so, any other Party shall have the right to file, prosecute, or maintain such Core Patents in such country or countries at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no additional patent applications or patents may be deemed to be Core Patents, nor any country added to the list of Additional Countries where Core Patents must be maintained by

Anthera or Shionogi, and the prosecution or maintenance of any Core Patents in any countries in the Territory in which such activities have commenced may not be abandoned, unless the Parties reach unanimous agreement on such matter. If Anthera requests that a particular patent application or patent within the Licensed Patent Rights be designated a Shionogi Core Patent and Shionogi disagrees with such request, Anthera shall have the right to prosecute or maintain such patent application or patent in the Territory at its own expense. Anthera or Shionogi, as applicable, shall provide to the other Parties, and the same shall be entitled to review and comment upon, documents to be filed or received from the applicable patent offices relating to the prosecution of the Core Patents in the Major Markets and Additional Countries. Anthera or Shionogi, as applicable, shall incorporate the other Parties’ reasonable comments regarding the prosecution of the Core Patents in the Major Markets and Additional Countries. Anthera shall reimburse Lilly for [***] issuance and maintenance fees incurred by Lilly in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining the Lilly Core Patents in the Major Markets and Additional Countries, to the extent that Lilly, as the assignee of the Lilly Core Patents is required to pay such fees. Anthera shall reimburse Shionogi for [***] of the filing, issuance, and maintenance fees incurred by Shionogi in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining the Shionogi Core Patents in the Major Markets and Additional Countries; provided, however, that if Shionogi elects to transfer filing, prosecution, and maintenance activities for the Shionogi Core Patents to Anthera, Anthera shall reimburse Shionogi for [***] issuance and maintenance fees incurred by Shionogi on or after the date of such transfer in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining the Shionogi Core Patents in the Major Markets and Additional Countries to the extent that Shionogi, as the assignee of the Shionogi Core Patents, is required to pay such fees. All outside counsel used by Anthera in connection with the activities contemplated by this Article 8 with respect to the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Lilly Core Patents and, if applicable, the Shionogi Core Patents, shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lilly and Shionogi.

8.2 Prosecution of Non-Core Patents. Shionogi and/or Lilly may, at their discretion and expense, file, prosecute, and maintain patent applications and patents within the Licensed Patent Rights (other than the Core Patents in the Major Markets and Additional Countries, or a patent application or patent that Anthera requested be designated as a Shionogi Core Patent, which request was denied by Shionogi) in the Territory. Shionogi and/or Lilly may, at their discretion, abandon any patent applications and patents covering any Licensed Technology in any countries in the Territory (other than the Core Patents in the Major Markets and Additional Countries) at any time during the term of the License Agreement with prior written notice to Anthera, which notice shall be provided at least [***] before the time limit, if any, set forth in the applicable laws and regulations for the taking of an action required or permitted with respect to the filing, prosecution, or maintenance of the applicable patent application or patent. In such case, Anthera may elect, at its sole discretion and expense, to undertake the preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance of such patent application or patent in such country. In addition, Anthera may request that Shionogi and/or Lilly file and prosecute a patent application covering an invention within the Licensed Technology in a particular country in the Territory. Within [***] after their receipt of such a request from Anthera, Shionogi and/or Lilly shall notify Anthera in writing whether they are willing to file and prosecute the applicable patent application in the applicable country at their expense. If Shionogi and/or Lilly do not elect to file and prosecute such patent application in such country, Anthera may elect, at its sole discretion and

expense, to undertake the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of such patent application or patent in such country.

8.3 Infringement by Third Parties. Anthera shall notify Shionogi and Lilly of any infringement or possible infringement of the Licensed Patent Rights in the Territory by a Third Party promptly after it becomes aware of such infringement. Anthera will have the first right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, and control any action or proceeding with respect to infringement in the Territory of the Licensed Patent Rights (an “Enforcement Action”), by counsel of its own choice. Whichever of Shionogi and/or Lilly has an ownership interest in the applicable Licensed Patent Rights shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to initiating an action or proceeding against a Third Party with respect to the Licensed Patent Rights, Anthera shall notify Shionogi and/or Lilly of its intent to bring such action or proceeding and shall consult with Shionogi and/or Lilly regarding Anthera’s planned course of action. Each of Shionogi and Lilly shall have the option to assign to Anthera their ownership interest in any patent applications or patents at issue prior to the initiation by Anthera of an infringement action or proceeding with respect to such patent applications or patents. Shionogi and/or Lilly shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Anthera at their own expense and may, at their sole discretion and expense and by counsel of their choice, join in such Enforcement Action. If Anthera fails to institute an Enforcement Action within [***], whichever of Shionogi and/or Lilly has an ownership interest in the applicable Licensed Patent Rights shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any such action or proceeding at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. In such event, Anthera shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to Shionogi and/or Lilly in connection with such Enforcement Action at its own expense. If Shionogi or Lilly institutes an Enforcement Action, Anthera shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. [***].

8.4 Third Party Infringement Claims. Anthera shall promptly inform the other Parties in the event of any claim, threat, or suit by a Third Party against Anthera alleging that the manufacture, use, importation, or sale of Compounds or Licensed Products in the Territory infringes any patents or other intellectual property rights of such Third Party. Anthera shall have final control of the defense against such claim, threat, or suit and any settlement thereof in the Territory; provided that Anthera shall not settle such claim, threat, or suit in a manner that adversely affects Shionogi’s or Lilly’s interest in the Licensed Patent Rights including, without limitation, the validity of the patent applications and patents within the Licensed Patent Rights, without the prior written consent of Shionogi and Lilly, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Anthera shall bear its own out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such legal proceedings and the amount of settlements or damages awarded to a Third Party as a result of the suit for infringement by Anthera of such Third Party’s patents or other intellectual property rights or settlement thereof, [***].

9.1 Term. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date on which Anthera has raised at least five million dollars ($5,000,000) in net proceeds from the first sale of Anthera’s preferred equity securities following the Execution Date (the “Effective Date”) and, unless earlier terminated by mutual agreement or in accordance with other provisions herein, shall remain in effect for the duration of Anthera’s royalty obligations on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis. The licenses granted to Anthera and Shionogi under Sections 2.1 and 2.4, respectively, shall survive the expiration of this Agreement, but shall, as of the date of expiration of the Agreement and unless sooner terminated, become a fully paid up, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license.

9.2 Termination. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(a) Anthera Voluntary Termination. Anthera may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving ninety (90) days’ written notice to the other Parties of its intention to terminate.

(b) Termination For Lack of Diligence. If Anthera or its Affiliates or sublicensees do not [***] for a Licensed Product containing one of the Initial Compounds within [***] after the Effective Date, Shionogi and Lilly shall have the right to terminate Anthera’s license rights with respect to all Licensed Products containing an Initial Compound effective upon written notice. In addition, if Anthera fails to [***] for the first Licensed Product within [***] after the Effective Date, Shionogi and Lilly shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective upon written notice.

(c) Termination For Default. Anthera shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for default due to Lilly’s or Shionogi’s uncured failure to comply in any material respect with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Lilly and Shionogi shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for default due to Anthera’s uncured failure to comply in any material respect with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. At least [***] prior to any such termination for default, except in the case of a monetary default, in which case a [***] notice period shall apply, the Party seeking to so terminate shall give the other Party written notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.2(c), which notice shall set forth the default(s) which form the basis for such termination. If the defaulting Party fails to correct such default(s) within [***] after receipt of notification, or if the same cannot reasonably be corrected or remedied within [***], then if the defaulting Party has not commenced curing said default(s) within said [***] and is not diligently pursuing completion of same, the other Party immediately may terminate this Agreement.

(d) Termination for Default Under Technology Transfer Letter Agreement. Each of Lilly and Anthera shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for

default due to Lilly’s or Anthera’s uncured failure to comply in any material respect with the terms and conditions of the Technology Transfer Letter Agreement.

If the defaulting Party fails to correct such default(s) within [***] after receipt of notification, the non-defaulting Party may immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice.

9.3 Anthera Rights Upon Termination for Default By Lilly or Shionogi. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Anthera under Section 9.2(c) or (d), Anthera shall (A) be entitled to reduce all future payments due to the breaching Party under Article 3 of the Agreement by [***] (but shall continue to make all payments due to the non-breaching Party); and (B) retain all of the rights under the licenses granted by Lilly and Shionogi to Anthera hereunder with respect to the Compounds and Licensed Products.

9.4 Continuing Obligations. Except as otherwise provided above, termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior thereto and shall be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of either Party with respect to any antecedent breach of the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, shall serve to terminate the obligations of the Parties hereto under Sections 3.10, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, and 9.6, and Articles 6, 7, and 10 and such other Sections as by their nature should survive, and such obligations shall survive any such termination.

9.5 Effects of Termination. If the Agreement is terminated for any reason other than for Shionogi’s or Lilly’s uncured material breach of the Agreement or Lilly’s uncured material breach under the Technology Transfer Letter Agreement, Anthera shall no longer make any use of the license granted by Shionogi and Lilly hereunder and shall, at Shionogi’s or Lilly’s request, transfer to Shionogi, Lilly, or their designee all Regulatory Approvals and Applications for Marketing Authorization for Licensed Products, grant Shionogi and Lilly co-exclusive licenses to any intellectual property controlled by Anthera relating to the Licensed Products and otherwise assist Shionogi and Lilly so that Shionogi and Lilly may take over the development and/or commercialization of Compounds and Licensed Products; provided, however, if sublicensee(s) of Anthera that are not in breach of their sublicense agreements elect to continue the development and/or commercialization of the Compounds or Licensed Products, Shionogi and Lilly shall assume such sublicense agreements as direct licenses from Shionogi and Lilly to such sublicensee(s), provided, however, that neither Shionogi nor Lilly shall be obligated to assume any obligations under such agreements that are in excess of the obligations of Shionogi and Lilly under this Agreement, unless Shionogi or Lilly agrees otherwise in its sole discretion.

9.6 Disposal of Compounds and Licensed Products. If Shionogi and Lilly consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Anthera may manufacture Licensed Products using Compound and/or goods in process in its possession and may sell the Compounds and Licensed Products in the Territory at its regular commercial conditions for a period of [***] after such termination, subject to Anthera’s agreement to strictly observe the terms and conditions

contained in this Agreement, including the obligation to pay royalties in accordance with Article 3 hereof.
