(a) General Conduct. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, AbbVie will sponsor the Study and will have the right and responsibility over the design, conduct and control of the Study (“Sponsor”). The Study shall be conducted under AbbVie’s Investigational New Drug application (“IND”) in the United States and equivalent clinical trial authorization outside the United States (“CTA”), as applicable, for an AbbVie Compound. If a Regulatory Authority requests an additional IND or CTA for the Study, the Parties shall meet and mutually agree on an approach to address such requirement. AbbVie will register the Study on xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx and will comply with all Applicable Law relating to the registration of the Study. “Applicable Law,” for purposes of this Agreement, means all federal, state, local, national and regional statutes, laws, rules, regulations and directives applicable to a particular activity of a Party hereunder, including performance of clinical trials, medical treatment and the processing and protection of personal and medical data, that may be in effect from time to time, including those promulgated by the FDA and any successor agency to the FDA or any corresponding agency or authority performing some or all of the functions of the FDA in any jurisdiction outside the United States (each a “Regulatory Authority” and collectively, “Regulatory Authorities”) as applicable for where the Study is being conducted, and current International Conference on Harmonization of Good Clinical Practice (“ICH GCP”) guidelines.

(b) Protocol. AbbVie and Idera acknowledge and agree that the Protocol has been finalized by the Parties. Idera consents to AbbVie’s submission of the Protocol to the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and other applicable foreign Regulatory Authorities for purposes of conducting the Study. Thereafter, any amendments to the Protocol (“Protocol Amendment”) will be sent to Idera’s Clinical contact set forth in Attachment C (or as updated) for review and comment. Any comments on a Protocol Amendment by Idera are to be provided to AbbVie within [**] Business Days of Idera receiving the Protocol Amendment, unless the Parties otherwise agree to extend such review period or within the timeframe allotted by a Regulatory Authority, if applicable. AbbVie will make reasonable efforts to incorporate Idera’s comments into the Protocol Amendments (except to the extent material changes relating to the Idera Compound, in which case, such comments shall be incorporated). If no comments are provided by Idera within the given review period, the Protocol Amendment shall be deemed acceptable to Idera. For clarity, material matters relating to the Idera Compound shall include, but are not limited to, the (i) dose and dosing regimen for the Idera Compound, (ii) exclusion criteria and other safety measures applicable to the Idera Compound, and (iii) changes to the Protocol that increase the quantities of the Idera Compound to be supplied hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AbbVie will not make any changes to the Protocol that would increase the amount of Idera Compound to be supplied to AbbVie for the Study nor shall AbbVie make any changes to the Protocol with regard to the safety information regarding the Idera Compound, without the prior written consent of Idera. AbbVie has the

right to request a teleconference with Idera personnel, as appropriately designated by Idera per such request, to discuss potential changes to the Protocol or Idera’s comments to a Protocol Amendment and Idera will use reasonable efforts to accommodate such request.

(c) Study Centers. AbbVie shall select the clinical investigators (“Investigators”) and Study Centers. AbbVie will be responsible for contracting with Investigators and Study Centers for the conduct of the Study and will ensure that it has appropriate provisions in its contracts with Study Centers and Investigators to comply with all of the terms and obligations contained in this Agreement, including but not limited to those pertaining to intellectual property and use of Study Data. AbbVie will require that Investigators and Study Centers conduct the Study in accordance with the approved Protocol and Applicable Law and will require that the Study is approved by and subject to continuing oversight by an appropriate Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) or Ethics Committee (“EC”).

(d) Regulatory Actions. AbbVie is solely responsible for, and shall maintain control over, the regulatory files relating to the Study (“AbbVie Regulatory Files”), including, but not limited to, any and all safety reporting and regulatory obligations associated with the conduct of the Study, and relating to submitting, obtaining and maintaining an IND and or foreign equivalency file, as applicable, with respect thereto. Upon request, Idera will provide AbbVie with appropriate documentation to support any cross reference to the Idera Compound that AbbVie may need to include in any regulatory filings to conduct the Study. AbbVie has the sole right and responsibility to make submissions in support of AbbVie Regulatory Files and the right to correspond with governmental authorities of any nature in connection with such AbbVie Regulatory Files. AbbVie will ensure that (i) all directions in relation to its obligations as the Study Sponsor from any IRB/EC and/or Regulatory Authority with jurisdiction over the Study are followed and (ii) all Regulatory Approvals from any Regulatory Authority and/or IRB/EC with jurisdiction over the Study are obtained prior to initiating performance of the Study (first subject first dose). Notwithstanding the preceding, nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting Idera from replying to direct requests or inquiries from a Regulatory Authority related to use of the Idera Compound in the Study (“RA-Idera Inquiry”), or from otherwise making submissions required by Applicable Law or requested by a Regulatory Authority. For each RA-Idera Inquiry, Idera will include AbbVie in its correspondence with the Regulatory Authority, except as subject to Section 2(e) disclosures of CMC Information in which case Idera will notify AbbVie within [**] Business Days of its correspondence with the Regulatory Authority and in doing so provide AbbVie with the details of such correspondence applicable to the Study, subject to redactions of Idera’s proprietary and confidential CMC Information. For clarity, as between the Parties, Idera shall remain solely responsible for, and shall maintain control over, all other regulatory files relating to the Idera Compound that do not relate to the Study and are controlled by Idera prior to the Effective Date (“Idera Regulatory Files”). Idera has the sole right and responsibility to make submissions in support of Idera Regulatory Files and the right to correspond with governmental authorities of any nature in connection with such Idera Regulatory Files.

Regulatory Authority. AbbVie shall have no right to directly access the Idera Compound CMC Information. If AbbVie receives any comments or other inquiries from a Regulatory Authority that pertain specifically to the Idera Compound that is not CMC Information, AbbVie will promptly provide such comments to Idera’s Alliance Management contact set forth in Attachment C (or as updated) and Idera will provide its response to AbbVie within the timeframe required or requested by the Regulatory Authority (“Response Period”), so that AbbVie can forward such response to the Regulatory Authority. In the event that it will take Idera more time to provide a response that encompasses all the information requested by the Regulatory Authority pertaining to the Idera Compound (“Full Response”), Idera will notify AbbVie as soon as practicable within the Response Period, and such notice by Idera will provide AbbVie with (i) a partial response with the information available within the Response Period, (ii) the reason a Full Response cannot be provided within the Response Period, and (iii) the timeframe in which Idera will provide the outstanding information necessary for a Full Response. In any event, Idera will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide such responses to AbbVie.

(f) Compensation for Study Injuries. As between the Parties and subject to Section 13(a) and 13(b), (i) AbbVie shall be fully responsible for reimbursing Study Centers for reasonable medical expenses necessary to treat any Study Injury, and (ii) AbbVie agrees not to approve any written informed consent that states that Idera will provide any such compensation; provided, however, that to the extent that any or all of the reasonable medical expenses necessary to treat a Study Injury for which AbbVie provides reimbursement to a Study Center are attributable to the Idera Compound, Idera shall reimburse AbbVie for such expenses.

(g) Regulatory Submission Reviews. Either Party may request review and comment on a portion of a submission to a Regulatory Authority that relates to the Study (“Regulatory Submission”) from the other Party (“Regulatory Submission Request”) by providing the Regulatory Submission Request in writing to the other Party’s Alliance Manager and Regulatory contacts set forth in Attachment C (or as updated). The receiving Party shall respond with any comments upon the areas of the Regulatory Submission that relate to the receiving Party’s Confidential Information or Compound(s) within [**] days (or as soon as practicable if such request is stated to be required within a shorter timeframe). The requesting Party shall be allowed to redact any of its Confidential Information (defined below) from the Regulatory Submission that is not material to the Regulatory Submission Request.

(h) Informed Consent. AbbVie will require that Investigators obtain a valid informed consent form (“ICF”) from each subject participating in the Study in accordance with all Applicable Laws, which will include a valid authorization for the use or disclosure of health information from each Study subject and use of Biological Samples (as defined in Section 7) obtained from such subject, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. AbbVie will prepare a template patient ICF for the Study to provide to IRBs/ECs and Investigators in order to obtain the aforementioned authorization and pursuant to AbbVie’s standard internal processes and procedures, which require inclusion of Compound-specific Standard Safety Risk Language (“SSRL”) (it being understood that the SSRL portion of the ICF relating to the Idera Compound (“Idera Compound SSRL”) will be provided by Idera). Idera will provide the Idera Compound SSRL no later than [**] Business Days after execution of the Agreement. Any material changes to the Idera Compound SSRL proposed

by AbbVie or a Third-Party (as defined in Section 7), other than a Regulatory Authority or an IRB/EC, will be subject to Idera’s written consent. Idera will provide such consent, or a written explanation for why such consent is being withheld, (i) within [**] Business Days of receiving AbbVie’s request if such changes are proposed by AbbVie; and (ii) within [**] Business Days of receiving AbbVie’s request if such changes are proposed by a Third-Party. Changes requested by a Regulatory Authority or an IRB/EC that are inconsistent with the Idera Compound SSRL will be incorporated without consent from Idera, provided that AbbVie considers in good faith any request by Idera in connection with such requested change.

(i) Financial Disclosure. AbbVie shall (a) track and collect financial disclosure information from all Investigators involved in the Study and (b) prepare and submit the certification and/or disclosure of the same in accordance with all Applicable Law including, but not limited to, Part 54 of Title 21 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations (Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators) and related FDA Guidance Documents. For purposes of this Section 2(i), the term “clinical investigators” shall have the meaning set forth in Part 54.2(d) of Title 21 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations.

“Business Day”, as used in this Agreement, means any day that banks are open in New York other than a Saturday or Sunday; and “Study Injury” means an injury that occurs to a Study subject as a result of (i) the administration of the Compounds or (ii) the performance of Protocol-mandated procedures on Study subjects that such Study subjects would not have received but for their participation in the Study, in each case in accordance with the Protocol.

Idera shall consider in good faith the needs of Study subjects who are actively being treated with the Idera Compound in making its determination.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Manufacture”, “Manufactured”, or “Manufacturing” means all stages of the manufacture of a Compound, including planning, purchasing, manufacture, processing, compounding, storage, filling, packaging, waste disposal, labeling, leafleting, testing, quality assurance, sample retention, stability testing, release, dispatch and supply, as applicable

6. QUALITY

(a) Quality matters related to the Idera Compound will be governed by the terms of the TQA in addition to the relevant quality terms of this Agreement.

(b) Non-Conformance.

i. In the event that a Party becomes aware that the Idera Compound Delivered hereunder may have a nonfulfillment or unplanned departure of a specified requirement from documented GxP procedures, instructions, requirements, filed specifications, or processes (“Non-Conformance”), despite testing and quality assurance activities, then such Party will notify the other Party’s relevant Quality contact set forth in Attachment C (or as updated) within [**] Business Days of becoming aware of the Non-Conformance. Idera and AbbVie will investigate any Non-Conformance as set forth in Section 6(b)(ii) (Investigations) below and any discrepancy between the Parties regarding the determination of Non-Conformance shall escalated per each of the Party’s respective quality system requirements. AbbVie shall determine whether a shipment of the Idera Compound (or portion thereof) has a Non-Conformance at the time of Delivery within [**] days after the date of Delivery of such Idera Compound (or portion thereof). Any Idera Compound not rejected by written notice to Idera within [**] days of AbbVie’s receipt shall be deemed accepted, except for Idera Compound that is found later to have had latent defect(s) that were not reasonably discoverable within [**] days after receipt of Delivery of such Idera Compound. In the event that any proposed or actual shipment of the Idera Compound (or portion thereof) will be agreed or otherwise determined to have a Non-Conformance at the time of Delivery to AbbVie, then unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, Idera will use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Idera Compound as is found to have a Non-Conformance as soon as reasonably practical and at no cost to AbbVie. Any Idera Compound not rejected by written notice to Idera within [**] days of AbbVie’s receipt shall be deemed accepted, except for Idera Compound that is found later to have had latent defect(s) that were not reasonably discoverable within [**] days after receipt of Delivery of such Idera Compound.

ii. Investigations. In the event that any Idera Compound proves to be in Non-Conformance, or is suspected of being in Non-Conformance (i.e. a post-release Non-Conformance, potential Non-Conformance or confirmed complaint), AbbVie and Idera quality control/quality assurance staffs shall immediately, or at latest, within one (1) Business Day, advise each other of such defect or suspicion thereof and shall initiate appropriate internal measures to ascertain the validity of such suspicion and/or remedy such defect. Any Non-Conformance related discrepancy between AbbVie and Idera will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in the TQA. Appropriate, commercially reasonable measures shall also be taken to prevent any future occurrence of such defects. The decision to initiate a recall of Idera Compound will be the sole responsibility of Idera. Recalls will proceed in accordance with the Supply Addendum.

(c) Replacement Compound. In the event Idera Compound is lost or damaged by AbbVie after Delivery, Idera will provide additional Idera Compound (if available for the Study) to AbbVie (“Replacement Idera Compound”); provided that AbbVie will reimburse Idera for the Direct Manufacturing Costs and Indirect Manufacturing Costs of such Replacement Idera Compound (without xxxx-up), unless Idera otherwise agrees in writing to provide such Replacement Idera Compound at no cost to AbbVie. For avoidance of doubt, over-labeling of Idera Compound or removal of Idera Compound labeling shall not constitute damage to Idera Compound provided that, if AbbVie makes any such modifications to the labelling of the Idera Compound, AbbVie shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the revised label complies with all relevant labelling requirements under Applicable Law and such revisions do not amount to potential adulteration or misbranding of the Idera Compound. Except as set forth in the foregoing sentence, Idera will have no obligation to provide Replacement Idera Compound for any Idera Compound supplied hereunder other than such Idera Compound (i) as has been agreed or otherwise determined to have a Non-Conformance at the time of Delivery to AbbVie or (ii) subject to an Idera Recall as described in the Supply Addendum.

(d) Quality Audits. Each Party will maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the manufacture, testing, packaging/labeling, storage and delivery/distribution (as applicable) of the Idera Compound hereunder in accordance with the TQA; and, upon request of the other Party, will make such records open to review by the other Party for the purpose of GMP compliance audits/assessments as per the TQA and conducting investigations for the determination of Idera Compound safety and/or efficacy and the other Party’s compliance with this Agreement with respect to the Idera Compound.

(e) Qualified Person. In the event that Idera Compound is Delivered to AbbVie for use at Study Centers in the European Union (“EU”), Idera will (i) provide a GMP/Inspection Certificate by a Qualified Person and Batch Release signed by a Qualified Person (“QP”) confirming compliance with the Product Specification File for the Idera Compound, including a statement that the manufacturing site(s) for the Bulk Drug Substance and Bulk Drug Product operate equivalent to EU GMP standards and are in compliance with the approved, cross-referenced Idera CTA filing, (ii) upon request, provide AbbVie with the QP Declaration for non-EU manufacturers, and (iii) perform QP confirmation of each batch supplied to AbbVie according to Annex 16 and Annex 13. Idera will maintain complete and accurate supply chain maps in accordance with Annex 16. These supply chain maps shall be considered by Idera during the release of the Idera Compound to AbbVie.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

1. To begin an ADR proceeding, a Party shall provide written notice to the other Party of the Dispute to be resolved by ADR. Within [**] days after its receipt of such notice, the other Party may, by written notice to the Party initiating the arbitration, add additional issues to be resolved within the same ADR.

2. Within [**] days following the initiation of the ADR proceeding, the Parties shall select a mutually acceptable independent, impartial and conflicts-free neutral to preside in the resolution of all issues in this ADR proceeding. If the Parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable neutral within such period, each Party will select one (1) independent, impartial and conflicts-free neutral and those two (2) neutrals will select a third independent, impartial and conflicts-free neutral within [**] thereafter (such neutral(s), the “Neutral”). None of the neutrals selected may be current or former employees, officers or directors of either Party or its Affiliates.

3. No earlier than [**] days or later than [**] days after selection, the Neutral shall hold a hearing to resolve each of the issues identified by the Parties. The ADR proceeding shall take place at a location agreed upon by the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree, the Neutral shall designate a location other than the principal place of business of either Party or any of their Affiliates.

4. At least [**] days prior to the hearing, each Party shall submit the following to the other Party and the Neutral:

(a) a copy of all exhibits on which such Party intends to rely in any oral or written presentation to the Neutral;

(b) a list of any witnesses such Party intends to call at the hearing, and a short summary of the anticipated testimony of each witness;

(c) a proposed ruling on each issue to be resolved, together with a request for a specific damage award or other remedy for each issue. The proposed ruling shall not contain any recitation of the facts or any legal arguments, and the proposed remedy shall not include any punitive damages. The proposed ruling and the proposed remedy collectively shall not exceed one (1) page per issue.

(d) a brief in support of such Party’s proposed rulings and remedies; provided, that the brief shall not exceed twenty (20) pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.

5. Except as expressly set forth in subparagraphs 4(a) - 4(d), no discovery shall be required or permitted by any means, including depositions, interrogatories, requests for admissions, or production of documents.

6. The hearing shall be conducted on two (2) consecutive days and shall be governed by the following rules:

(a) Each Party shall be entitled to five (5) hours of hearing time to present its case. The Neutral shall determine whether each Party has had the five (5) hours to which it is entitled.

(b) Each Party shall be entitled, but not required, to make an opening statement, to present regular and rebuttal testimony, documents, or other evidence, to cross-examine witnesses, and to make a closing argument. Cross-examination of witnesses shall occur immediately after their direct testimony, and cross-examination time shall be charged against the Party conducting the cross-examination.

(c) The Party initiating the ADR shall begin the hearing and, if it chooses to make an opening statement, shall address therein not only issues it raised but also any issues raised by the responding Party. The responding Party, if it chooses to make an opening statement, also shall address all issues raised in the ADR. Thereafter, the presentation of regular and rebuttal testimony and documents, other evidence, and closing arguments shall proceed in the same sequence.

(d) Except when testifying, witnesses shall be excluded from the hearing until closing arguments.

(e) Settlement negotiations, including any statements made therein, shall not be admissible under any circumstances. Affidavits prepared for purposes of the ADR hearing also shall not be admissible. As to all other matters, the Neutral shall have sole discretion regarding the admissibility of any evidence.

7. Within [**] days following completion of the hearing, each Party may submit to the other Party and the Neutral a post-hearing brief in support of its proposed rulings and remedies; provided, that such brief shall not contain or discuss any new evidence and shall not exceed ten (10) pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.

8. The Neutral shall rule on each disputed issue within [**] days following completion of the hearing. Such ruling shall adopt in its entirety the proposed ruling and remedy of one (1) of the Parties on each disputed issue but may adopt one (1) Party’s proposed rulings and remedies on some issues and the other Party’s proposed rulings and remedies on other issues. The Neutral shall not issue any written opinion or otherwise explain the basis of the ruling.

9. The Neutral shall be paid a reasonable fee plus expenses. These fees and expenses, along with the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing Party (including all expert witness fees and expenses), the fees and expenses of a court reporter, and any expenses for a hearing room, shall be paid as follows:

(a) If the Neutral rules in favor of one (1) Party on all disputed issues in the ADR, the losing Party shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of such fees and expenses.

(b) If the Neutral rules in favor of one (1) Party on some issues and the other Party on other issues, the Neutral shall issue with the rulings a written determination as to how such fees and expenses shall be allocated between the Parties. The Neutral shall allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship to the outcome of the ADR, with the

Party prevailing on more issues, or on issues of greater value or gravity, recovering a relatively larger share of its legal fees and expenses.

10. The rulings of the Neutral and the allocation of fees and expenses shall be binding, non-reviewable, and non-appealable, and may be entered as a final judgment in any court having jurisdiction.

11. Except as provided in paragraph 9 or as required by law, the existence of the Dispute, any settlement negotiations, the ADR proceeding, any submissions (including exhibits, testimony, proposed rulings, and briefs), and the rulings shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of both Parties. The Neutral shall have the authority to impose sanctions for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information.

12. All ADR proceedings shall be conducted in the English language.

13. Each Party shall have the right to be represented by counsel in all aspects of any ADR proceeding.
