Furthermore PhaseBio, its Affiliate or its Sublicensee(s) collectively will be allowed to distribute Doses as free promotional samples up to a cumulative total of [***] of all Distributed Doses per Calendar Year (“Promotional Samples”). Any Promotional Samples that have been made available to an independent Third Party up to such percentage in a Calendar Year shall be deemed not to be Distributed Doses and shall not be subject to the obligation to pay Running Royalties. Any Doses which have been made available as free promotional samples to an independent Third Party exceeding such percentage in a Calendar Year shall be deemed to be Distributed Doses and shall be subject to the obligation to pay Running Royalties.

3.6 The Running Royalty of a Calendar Year – if any – shall be fully creditable against the Annual Minimum Royalty of the same Calendar Year.

The Annual Minimum Royalty shall be due beginning with such Calendar Year in which the Developed Strain was transferred to PhaseBio by Xxxxxx Biotech and shall be payable within [***] days of the beginning of a Calendar Year. In the event the First Calendar Year is not a Full Calendar Year the Annual Minimum Royalty for such First Calendar Year shall be paid on a pro rata basis calculated on the basis of 365 calendar days per Calendar Year and shall be due and payable within [***] days after the Effective Date. For each Calendar Year following the First Calendar Year the Annual Minimum Royalty shall be due within [***] days of the beginning of such Calendar Year. In the event the Last Calendar Year is not a Full Calendar Year the Annual Minimum Royalty for such Calendar Year shall be paid on a pro rata basis calculated on the basis of 365 calendar days per Calendar Year; in case of any excess payment Xxxxxx Biotech shall reimburse PhaseBio any amount paid in excess within [***] after the later of (i) the termination date of this Agreement or (ii) the date on which an excess payment has been determined.

3.7 Within [***] days after June 30 and December 31 of each Calendar Year (semi-annually), PhaseBio shall furnish to Xxxxxx Biotech a written report showing in reasonably specific detail

(a) the amount of Distributed Doses for the preceding six (6) months period; and

(b) the calculation of the payments due and payable, if any, which shall have accrued hereunder; and

(c) withholding taxes, if any, required by law to be deducted in respect of any royalties due.

In the report of December 31 of each Calendar Year PhaseBio shall include additionally the amount and percentage (in relation to the amount of Distributed Doses) of Promotional Samples for the preceding twelve (12) months period.

In case no Running Royalties have become due in a reporting period PhaseBio shall inform Xxxxxx Biotech accordingly at the due dates according to the foregoing stipulations.

3.8 The Running Royalty shall be payable on the day the written report according to Section 3.7 is due.

3.9 Any payments due to Xxxxxx Biotech hereunder shall be a net payment, i.e. free of any bank and transfer charges and without deduction of any Taxes (including Indirect Taxes) or other fees payable outside the Federal Republic of Germany, except any withholding tax, if any, imposed on the amount payable under this Agreement which PhaseBio may deduct from payment hereunder and pay to the relevant Tax Authority. In the event withholding taxes shall be due the Parties will reasonably cooperate in completing and filing a request for exemption or reduction of withholding tax required under the provisions of any applicable double taxation or similar treaty or agreement in order to enable PhaseBio to make such payments to Xxxxxx Biotech under this Agreement without any deduction or with reduced withholding. PhaseBio will furnish Xxxxxx Biotech with the certificate of tax receipt issued by the relevant tax office, necessary to have such taxes credited in the Federal Republic of Germany.

3.10 All payments hereunder shall be payable in Euro (EUR) and shall be submitted by PhaseBio to Xxxxxx Biotech to the following account of Xxxxxx Biotech GmbH with Deutsche Bank, München (unless Xxxxxx Biotech informs PhaseBio in writing about a change in the receiving bank):

[***]

adding the remark [***].

The obligation to pay shall only be considered fulfilled on the day on which the complete amount of money is credited to said account.

3.11 Whenever conversion of United States Dollars (USD) to Euro (EUR) shall be required, such conversion shall be calculated using the exchange rates of the European Central Bank (“ECB”) (e.g., xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxxxxx.xx; also available at Reuters page “ECB37”). For the purposes of crediting the Running Royalty of a Calendar Year against the Annual Minimum Royalty of the same Calendar Year the following procedure shall apply: For calculation purposes the Annual Minimum Royalty shall be converted to United States Dollars (USD) on the day on which the respective Annual Minimum Royalty is due using the exchange rate of the ECB of that day; any balance to be paid by PhaseBio between the respective converted Annual Minimum Royalty in United States Dollars (USD) and the credited Running Royalties of the same Calendar Year shall be converted from United States Dollars (USD) to Euro (EUR) using the average exchange rate of the ECB published for the respective six (6) month royalty period during the Calendar Year.

3.12 In the event that PhaseBio is delinquent in the payment due under this Agreement, Xxxxxx Biotech is entitled to charge default interest amounting to [***] above the interest rate of the European Central Bank (ECB). Such interest shall be calculated on a pro rata basis from the day payment was due until the day the payment is credited to the account according to Section 3.10.

3.13 PhaseBio will keep complete and accurate records of account for [***] years preceding the current year for the verification of the royalties to be paid under this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement and within [***] years after termination, such records of account shall be open at all reasonable times – but not more than once each calendar year - to the inspection of an independent certified auditor chosen by Xxxxxx Biotech and acceptable to PhaseBio. The auditor shall keep confidential any information obtained during such inspection and shall report to Xxxxxx Biotech only the payments due and payable.

The costs of such inspection and audit shall be borne by Xxxxxx Biotech, unless it shall be established by Xxxxxx Biotech that as a result of an error in such a report PhaseBio has failed to pay Xxxxxx Biotech at least [***] of the full amount of royalties due and owing under this Agreement, in which event the costs of such inspection shall be borne by PhaseBio. The results of such inspection are binding to the Parties.

3.14 Subject to Section 3.6, last sentence any payments already made by PhaseBio are not refundable in any event, including termination of this Agreement.

4. Confidentiality and Use Restrictions

4.1 Unless otherwise agreed in this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall keep strictly confidential any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and shall not make Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, in whole or in part, available to any Third Party (including any patent offices or similar authorities). The Receiving Party shall use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only for the purpose of exercising its rights (including, in the case of PhaseBio as the Receiving Party, the rights granted hereunder under Section 2.1 and 2.2) and performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall not use or exploit Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in any form directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, for any other purposes or for the obtainment of intellectual property rights. All Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and all rights therein shall remain the Disclosing Party’s exclusive property.

In particular PhaseBio shall not deposit, in whole or in part, the Developed Strain with a depositary institution [***]; furthermore PhaseBio shall use the Developed Strain only for the purpose of exercising its rights under this Agreement.

- 11 -

4.2 The Receiving Party shall take all necessary steps to meet the obligations set forth in this Article 4. The Receiving Party shall disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to those of its directors, officers, employees, legal representatives, Sublicensee(s) or contract manufacturers (the “Permitted Persons”) who have a need to know of such Confidential Information for the exercise of the Receiving Party’s rights (including, in the case of PhaseBio as the Receiving Party, the rights granted hereunder under Section 2.1 and 2.2) and the performance of the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder and who have agreed before to be bound by the terms of confidentiality and restricted use consistent with this Agreement, in particular this Article 4, in writing, unless such Permitted Persons are already bound accordingly by the terms of employment, other contracts or by applicable law. The Receiving Party shall be liable for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by its Permitted Persons.

However, notwithstanding the foregoing PhaseBio shall not disclose or make otherwise available to any Third Party, expressly not to Sublicensee(s) or contract manufacturers, the genotype and/or related genetic information of the Wacker Secretion Strain and/or the Developed Strain, [***].

4.3 PhaseBio shall not analyze, have analyzed, perform or have performed any reverse engineering or decompilation of the Developed Strain or any other Deliverable provided hereunder in order to receive any information on the genotype and/or related genetic information of the Wacker Secretion Strain (which builds also the basis of the Developed Strain) or any aspect thereof; such information shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of Xxxxxx Biotech in each case.

PhaseBio shall expressly instruct in writing any individual within its organization who has access to the Developed Strain to comply with this non-analysis obligation pursuant to this Section 4.3 and oblige the Permitted Entities in writing to impose a similar obligation to those individuals within the Permitted Entities’ organizations; for clarity, every individual within PhaseBio’s organization or within the organization of the Permitted Entities who has access to the Developed Strain shall have been expressly instructed in writing to comply with this non-analysis obligation pursuant to this Section 4.3.

Furthermore PhaseBio shall not have the right to reconstruct the Developed Strain.

4.4 Subject to (i) the use of Confidential Information reasonably necessary solely for the duration and the performance of PhaseBio’s rights according to Section 9.9; and/or (ii) the requirement to retain any Confidential Information for regulatory reasons, in the event of termination of this Agreement PhaseBio shall immediately return or destroy all embodiments of the received Confidential Information, including but not limited to records, data media, product samples, materials or other documents in any form, including any electronic (with respect to electronic files, deleted to the extent reasonably practicable), paper or otherwise embodied copies at Xxxxxx Biotech’s request which may be made at any time upon or after termination of this Agreement.

After termination of this Agreement, PhaseBio shall immediately stop using the WACKER Licensed Technology, in particular the Developed Process and the Developed Strain and, subject to Section 9.9, any material, including Product, produced by such use; in particular PhaseBio shall immediately destroy the Developed Strain and any modification, derivative, mutations, clones or progeny thereof.

Complete return or destruction shall be confirmed in writing by PhaseBio. The above shall not apply to back-up copies of electronic data routinely prepared but only for the time for which such back-up copies of similar-type information are customarily retained.

For the sake of clarity, in the event of termination of this Agreement (but not expiration of the Royalty Period), upon expiration of the period of use permitted under Section 9.9, the obligations of this Section 4.4 on complete return and destruction shall apply without limitation or restriction.

4.5 Notwithstanding the obligations of this Article 4, PhaseBio may disclose Confidential Information if it is required to do so in response to a valid order of a competent court or other government authority; provided however, Confidential Information shall not be disclosed without (a) first timely notifying Xxxxxx Biotech in writing to allow Xxxxxx Biotech to safeguard its rights by protective order or equivalent; and (b) cooperating with Xxxxxx Biotech to limit the scope of Confidential

- 12 -

Information disclosed to the greatest extent possible and to ensure that disclosed Confidential Information is (i) treated as confidential by the recipient to the greatest extent possible by law; and (ii) used solely for the purposes for which the order was issued.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxx Biotech acknowledges that PhaseBio intends to establish a contract manufacturing relationship for Product with a contract manufacturer located in [***]. PhaseBio will reimburse Xxxxxx Biotech for (i) all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of said third party consultant as well as (ii) all reasonable internal efforts and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Xxxxxx Biotech directly in course of its supporting efforts at the then effective hourly rate of Xxxxxx Biotech. PhaseBio will be invoiced by Xxxxxx Biotech and the payments are due and payable within thirty (30) days net from the date of an invoice. Xxxxxx Biotech is entitled to charge default interest in accordance with Section 3.12 in the event of delinquency of payment of such invoiced amounts by PhaseBio.

[***]

4.6 PhaseBio agrees and acknowledges that Xxxxxx Biotech or Xxxxxx XX shall have the right once in any calendar year to seek a legally binding written declaration by PhaseBio and each of its Affiliates, Sublicensees, and contract manufacturers of Product that have access to the Developed Strain (collectively, “Permitted Entities”) that the WACKER Licensed Technology or any part of it, in particular the Developed Strain, has only been used for the performance of the rights granted hereunder and/or that products, other than Product, Drug Product and/or Final Drug Product, manufactured or sold by PhaseBio, its Affiliates, its permitted Sublicensee(s) and subcontractors are not made, based upon or using the WACKER Licensed Technology, in particular not ESETEC^® and/or the Wacker Secretion Strain.

From time to time upon Xxxxxx Biotech’s request, PhaseBio will provide Xxxxxx Biotech with a list of the Permitted Entities who have access to the Developed Strain, the WACKER Licensed Technology or any part of it.

Furthermore Xxxxxx Biotech and/or Xxxxxx XX shall have the right at any time, at its own cost, to have an independent expert, acceptable to PhaseBio, investigate to verify that neither PhaseBio, nor the Permitted Entities have in any manner become involved, directly or indirectly, in the manufacture or sale of a product, other than the Product, Drug Product or Final Drug Product, based upon or using the WACKER Licensed Technology, in particular ESETEC^® and/or the Wacker Secretion Strain (collectively hereinafter a “Misuse of WACKER Licensed Technology”), and such investigation shall [***]. PhaseBio shall cooperate in a reasonable manner with such independent expert in its investigation. The right of investigation under this sub-paragraph shall be strictly limited to the respective product in question.

In connection with this investigation, the independent expert shall only provide to Xxxxxx Biotech and/or Xxxxxx XX a report that [***] (the “Expert’s Statement”). [***] Xxxxxx Biotech and/or Xxxxxx XX shall have the right to use the redacted Expert’s Statement as it deems fit.

Xxxxxx Biotech and/or Xxxxxx AG’s rights of investigation under this Section 4.6 shall not obligate PhaseBio or any Permitted Entity to provide [***].

PhaseBio shall require any of its Permitted Entities who will have access to the Developed Strain in writing to expressly agree to Xxxxxx Biotech and/or Xxxxxx AG’s rights of investigation according to this Section 4.6 prior to any transfer of WACKER Licensed Technology, in particular the Developed Strain, to such Permitted Entities.

In each event the provisions of this Section 4.6 shall survive [***] after any termination or expiration of this Agreement. Upon expiration of said [***] term Xxxxxx Biotech and/or Xxxxxx XX shall [***].

4.7 The obligations of confidentiality and restricted use set forth in this Article 4 shall not apply to any portion of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that the Receiving Party can prove by competent evidence:

Any combination of features shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because individual features are within an exception unless the actual combination itself is within an exception. Any specific Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be in the foregoing exceptions merely because it is encompassed by more general information which is within an exception unless the specific Confidential Information itself is within an exception.

4.8 Without limiting the Parties’ rights according to Sections 2.2, 6.2 and 10.8, each Party shall keep confidential the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Such indemnification (as described herein under (i) - (v)), shall not apply if such Action or Damage arises from matters which are subject to Xxxxxx Biotech’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.2. Subject to Section 8.4, PhaseBio will defend any Actions covered by this Section 8.1 at its expense and will pay any Damages that may be finally awarded against Xxxxxx Biotech and Xxxxxx Biotech Released Parties; to this extent, PhaseBio waives the defense of time limitation.

8.2 Xxxxxx Biotech shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless PhaseBio, its employees, officers, directors, governors, managers, subsidiaries, Affiliates, agents and principals (partners, shareholders or holders of an ownership interest, as the case may be) (hereinafter collectively “PhaseBio Released Parties”) from and against any and all Damages to which any PhaseBio Released Party may become subject as a result of any Action, to the extent such Damages result from or arise out of any breach by Xxxxxx Biotech of any of its warranties or representations set forth in Section 7.2.

Such indemnification shall not apply if and to the extent any Action or Damage arises from matters which are subject to PhaseBio’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.1.

Each Claim Notice must contain a description of the Action and the nature and amount of the related Damages (to the extent that the nature and amount of the Damages are known at that time). In the event that a final judgment or order is entered by any court or other tribunal against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy such judgment or order (and/or reimburse the Indemnified Party for any amounts it pays against such judgment or order) incurred by the Indemnified Party with regard to its defence against the Action or Damage within [***] days of the Indemnified Party providing notice to the Indemnifying Party of the judgment or order.

8.5 Except for [***], as far as legally permitted neither Party shall be liable to the other Party, whether in tort, contract or otherwise, for any consequential, special, incidental, punitive or indirect damages, loss or expenses (including but not limited to business interruption, lost business, lost profits, or lost savings) in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 8.5 [***], as applicable.
