12.6 Sales Milestones.

(a) Sales Milestone Payments. In partial consideration of the rights granted herein, on a Licensed Program-by-Licensed Program basis, Avenzo will pay to Allorion the following one-time, non-refundable and non-creditable milestone payments (each such payment, an “Annual Net Sales Milestone Payment”) for the first achievement of the corresponding Annual Net Sales events in the Avenzo Territory set forth below (each such event, an “Annual Net Sales Milestone Event”) within [***] days after Avenzo’s receipt of invoice from Allorion. Avenzo will notify Allorion in writing of the first achievement of each Annual Net Sales Milestone Event with respect to a Licensed Product from the applicable Licensed Program promptly (but in all events within [***] days) after the end of the Calendar Quarter in which such Annual Net Sales Milestone Event is achieved.

Annual Net Sales Milestone Events based upon Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the applicable Licensed Program ANNUAL NET SALES MILESTONE PAYMENTS
1. Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the applicable Licensed Program in the Avenzo Territory in a given Calendar Year are equal to or greater than $[***] $ [*** ]
2. Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the applicable Licensed Program in the Avenzo Territory in a given Calendar Year are equal to or greater than $[***] $ [*** ]

Total Annual Net Sales Milestone Payments for each Licensed Program $**** [******* ******]**

49


(b) Achievement of Sales Milestones. Each Annual Net Sales Milestone Payment will be payable only once for each Licensed Program on the first occurrence of the corresponding Annual Net Sales Milestone Event in the Avenzo Territory for a Licensed Product in such Licensed Program. In no event will the aggregate Annual Net Sales Milestone Payments payable under Section*** 12.6(a)* (Sales Milestone Payments) exceed $[***] for a Licensed Program. The Annual Net Sales Milestone Payments are cumulative, such that if the Annual Net Sales for Licensed Products from a Licensed Program in a given Calendar Year exceed more than one applicable threshold, then all corresponding Annual Net Sales Milestone Payments for each achieved Annual Net Sales Milestone Event with respect to such Licensed Program will be payable.

(c) Treatment of CDK2/CDK2 Combination Products. In the event that the CDK4 License Option is exercised and a Licensed Product is a CDK2/CDK4 Combination Product, each Annual Net Sales Milestone Payment will be payable separately for each Licensed Program by dividing the aggregate Annual Net Sales in the Avenzo Territory [***], and for such CDK2/CDK4 Combination Product, upon the first achievement of such Annual Net Sales Milestone Events in the Avenzo Territory, and calculating each Annual Net Sales Milestone Payment accordingly. By way of example and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the aggregate Annual Net Sales of a CDK2/CDK4 Combination Product in the Avenzo Territory reaches $[***], then such amount of aggregate Annual Net Sales would be treated as $[***] in Annual Net Sales attributable to each Licensed Program, and the corresponding Annual Net Sales Milestone Payment would be $[***] for each Licensed Program. If Annual Net Sales Milestone Payments are made for a CDK2/CDK4 Combination Product, then no Annual Net Sales Milestone Payments will be made for any other Licensed Products. If Annual Net Sales Milestone Payments are made for a Licensed Product from each Licensed Program, then no Annual Net Sales Milestone Payments will be made for any CDK2/CDK4 Combination Product.

12.7 Royalties.

(a) Royalty Payment. Subject to adjustments under Section*** 12.7(d)* (Royalty Reductions), on a country-by-country and Licensed Program-by-Licensed Program basis, Avenzo will pay to Allorion tiered royalties calculated by multiplying the applicable royalty rate set forth in the table below by the corresponding amount of incremental, aggregated Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the applicable Licensed Program in the Avenzo Territory in a Calendar Year (a “Royalty Payment”) during the Royalty Term. The tiered royalty rates on Annual Net Sales will be as set forth below:

Portion of Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the applicable Licensed Program in the Avenzo Territory in a given Calendar Year ROYALTY RATE
1. Portion of Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the applicable Licensed Program in the Avenzo Territory in a given Calendar Year less than or equal to $[***] [*** ]%
2. Portion of Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the applicable Licensed Program in the Avenzo Territory in a given Calendar Year greater than $[***] and up to and including $[***] [*** ]%
3. Portion of Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the applicable Licensed Program in the Avenzo Territory in a given Calendar Year greater than $[***] and up to and including $[***] [*** ]%
4. Portion of Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the applicable Licensed Program in the Avenzo Territory in a given Calendar Year greater than $[***] and up to and including $[***] [*** ]%
5. Portion of Annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the applicable Licensed Program in the Avenzo Territory in a given Calendar Year greater than $[***] [*** ]%

50


(b) Treatment of CDK2/CDK4 Combination Products. In the event that the CDK4 License Option is exercised and a Licensed Product is a CDK2/CDK4 Combination Product, the Royalty Payments will be payable separately for each Licensed Program by dividing the aggregate Annual Net Sales of such CDK2/CDK4 Combination Product in the Avenzo Territory in a given Calendar Year [***]. By way of example and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the aggregate Annual Net Sales of a CDK2/CDK4 Combination Product in the Avenzo Territory in a given Calendar Year is $[***], then such amount of aggregate Annual Net Sales would be treated as $[***] in Annual Net Sales attributable to each Licensed Program.

(c) Royalty Term. The Royalty Payments will be payable on a Licensed Program-by-Licensed Program basis and country-by-country basis in the Avenzo Territory from the First Commercial Sale of the first Licensed Product from the applicable Licensed Program in such country until the latest to occur of: (i) the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim in such country Covering the composition of matter of such first Licensed Product or method of use of such first Licensed Product for the Indication for which Regulatory Approval has been granted in such country; (ii) the expiration of all Regulatory Exclusivity for such first Licensed Product in such country; or (iii) 10 years after the date of the First Commercial Sale of such first Licensed Product in such country (the “Royalty Term”). After the end of the Royalty Term for a Licensed Program in a given country in the Avenzo Territory, Net Sales of Licensed Products from such Licensed Program in such country shall be excluded from the calculation of Annual Net Sales. In the event that the CDK4 License Option is exercised and a Licensed Product is a CDK2/CDK4 Combination Product, then the Royalty Term will expire on a Licensed Program-by-Licensed Program basis and in accordance with the foregoing.

(d) Royalty Reductions.

(i) Absence of Valid Claims. On a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product, country-by-country, and Calendar Quarter-by-Calendar Quarter basis, for any Calendar Quarter during the Royalty Term for the applicable Licensed Product in a country in the Avenzo Territory, upon the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim in such country Covering the composition of matter of such Licensed Product or method of use of such Licensed Product for the Indication(s) for which Regulatory Approval has been granted in such country, the Net Sales of such Licensed Product used to calculate the Royalty Payments in such country for such Calendar Quarter will be reduced by [***]%.

(ii) Generic Competition. If, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product, country-by-country, and Calendar Quarter-by-Calendar Quarter basis, (A) one or more Generic Product(s) with respect to such Licensed Product is marketed or sold in such country in the Avenzo Territory in such Calendar Quarter (such first Calendar Quarter, the “Launch Quarter”), and (B) the average quarterly Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country decline by [***]%*** ***relative to the average Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country occurring during the four consecutive Calendar Quarters immediately preceding the Launch Quarter (as determined by Avenzo’s actual Net Sales), then the Net Sales of such Licensed Product used to calculate the Royalty Payments due in such country will be reduced by [***]% for such Calendar Quarter and each subsequent Calendar Quarter during the applicable Royalty Term for such Licensed Product during which the applicable decline persists.

(iii) Third Party Payments. If, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product, country-by-country, and Calendar Quarter-by-Calendar Quarter basis, Avenzo agrees to obtain one or more licenses under Third Party Patents or Know-How that are necessary or actually used by Avenzo or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees for the Exploitation*** ***of such Licensed Product in such country in the Avenzo Territory, or to acquire such Third Party Patents or Know-How in lieu of a license (each such agreement, a “Third Party License”), then [***]% of any [***] actually paid by Avenzo under such Third Party License during such Calendar Quarter in such country will be creditable against [***] payable to Allorion with

51


respect to such Licensed Product in such country during such CalendarQuarter during the Royalty Term for such Licensed Product; provided that if Avenzo obtains a license solely under Third Party Know-How, then this Section 12.7(d)(iii) (Third Party Payments) will apply to the extent such Know-How is described in the applicable Third Party agreement. If Avenzo obtains a Third Party License for Third Party Patents or Know-How that are necessary or actually used by Avenzo or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees for the Manufacture of a Licensed Product in the Avenzo Territory, Avenzo will use reasonable efforts to minimize the royalty payments under such Third Party License to the extent possible. Avenzo may carry forward to subsequent Calendar Quarters any amounts it could not deduct as a result of the limitation in the preceding proviso.*** ***

(iv) Royalty Floor. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in the foregoing Section* 12.7(d)(i)* (Absence of Valid Claims), Section*** 12.7(d)(ii)* (Generic Competition), and 12.7(d)(iii) (Third Party Payments), with respect to any Licensed Product, country, and Calendar Quarter, the operation of Section*** 12.7(d)(i)* (Absence of Valid Claims), Section*** 12.7(d)(ii)* (Generic Competition), and Section*** 12.7(d)(iii)* (Third Party Payments), individually or in combination, will not reduce the Royalty Payments owed by more than [***]% of the Royalty Payments otherwise payable to Allorion with respect to such Licensed Product in such country during such Calendar Quarter under Section*** 12.7(a)* (Royalty Payment).

(e) Royalty Reports. Following the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product for which Royalty Payments are due pursuant to this Section*** 12.7* (Royalties), and continuing for so long as Royalty Payments are due hereunder, Avenzo will, within [***] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, provide Allorion with a royalty report (in a template agreed to by the Parties) showing, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis:

(i) the gross sales and Net Sales of Licensed Products sold by Avenzo and its Affiliates and Sublicensees during such Calendar Quarter reporting period and supporting gross-to-net calculations;

(ii) the Royalty Payments in United States Dollars payable hereunder with respect to such Net Sales, with supporting calculations showing the applicable royalty rate applied and any royalty reductions taken pursuant to Section*** 12.7(d)* (Royalty Reductions); and

(iii) the rate of exchange with supporting calculations, determined in accordance with Section*** 12.7* (Royalties), used by Avenzo in determining the amount of United States Dollars payable hereunder.

(f) Royalty Payment. After the receipt of each royalty report provided by Avenzo under Section*** 12.7(e)* (Royalty Reports) above, Allorion will issue to Avenzo an invoice for the undisputed amount of Royalty Payments set forth therein. Avenzo will pay to Allorion the Royalty Payments for each Calendar Quarter within [***] days after the receipt of the invoice from Allorion. If no Royalty Payments are due for any Calendar Quarter following commencement of the reporting obligation, then Avenzo will so report.

12.8 Payment.

(a) Mode of Payment. All payments to be made under this Agreement will be made in U.S. Dollars and will be paid by electronic transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account in the United States as designated in writing by Allorion. All payments will be free and clear of any transfer fees or charges.

52


(b) Currency Exchange Rate. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in U.S. Dollars for calculating Net Sales in a Calendar Quarter (for purposes of both the Royalty Payment calculation and whether an Annual Net Sales Milestone Event has been achieved) will be made at the average actual foreign currency exchange rate for the month in which the expense is incurred or sale is made accordance to the exchange rates as published by The Wall Street Journal for such period, or such other source as the Parties may agree in writing.

(c) Payment Timeline. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments to be made by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement will be due within [***] days following such Party’s receipt of an invoice from the other Party.

12.9 Audits.

(a) Avenzo will keep, and will require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep (all in accordance with the GAAP), for a period not less than [***] years from the end of the Calendar Year to which they pertain, complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to properly reflect Net Sales and to enable any Milestone Payment payable hereunder to be determined. Allorion will keep complete and accurate records of all expenses incurred with respect to the CDK4 Program for a period of [***] years from the end of the Calendar Year in which such expenses are incurred. Avenzo shall have the right to request a report summarizing all CDK4 Program Expenses and such report shall be subject to inspection as provided in this Section*** 12.9* (Audits).

(b) The following inspection provisions shall apply to Avenzo as inspecting Party with respect to inspection of Allorion’s records of expenses incurred with respect to the CDK4 Program Expenses to be reimbursed by Avenzo pursuant to Section*** 12.3* (Funding for Certain CDK4 Program Expenses), and to Allorion as inspecting Party with respect to inspection of records of Avenzo and its Affiliates and Sublicensees as described in Section*** 12.9(a)* (Audits). Upon the written request of the inspecting Party, the Party whose records are subject to inspection will permit, and in the case of Avenzo will cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to permit, an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by the inspecting Party, at the inspecting Party’s expense, to have access during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to the inspected Party to such records of the inspected Party or its Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to inspect and verify the accuracy of the CDK4 Program Expenses (in the case of Allorion as the inspected Party) or the payments hereunder, including the basis of the calculations thereof (in the case of Avenzo as the inspected Party) for any Calendar Year ending not more than the preceding [***] years. Such inspections may not be conducted more frequently than once per year. No accounting period of the inspected Party may be subject to inspection more than one time by the inspecting Party. If such accounting firm concludes that an overpayment of CDK4 Program Expenses was made by Avenzo to Allorion or an underpayment of payments due by Avenzo to Allorion occurred, then (i) in the case of an overpayment of CDK4 Program Expenses, Allorion will repay the amount of such overpayment to Avenzo or (ii) in the case of underpayment of payments due by Avenzo to Allorion, Avenzo will pay the amount of such underpayment due to Allorion, in either case within [***] days following the date such accounting firm’s written report is delivered to the Parties showing such overpayment or underpayment, as applicable. If such accounting firm concludes that an overpayment of amounts due by Avenzo to Allorion was made, then such overpayment will be credited against any future payment due to Allorion hereunder (if there is no future payment due, then Allorion will promptly refund such overpayment to Avenzo). The accounting firm will provide to each Party a copy of the report at the same time, which report will include the methodology and calculations used to determine the findings. The inspecting Party will bear the full cost of such audit unless such inspection concludes an overpayment of CDK4 Program Expenses was made by Avenzo or an underpayment by Avenzo of payments due by Avenzo to Allorion, in either case of more than [***]% of the amount otherwise payable for that inspected period, in which case the inspected Party will pay the actual fees and expenses charged by the accounting firm for such inspection.

53


(c) The inspecting Party will treat all financial information subject to review under this Section*** 12.9* (Audits) in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Article 13 (Confidentiality; Publication), and, prior to commencing such audit, will cause its accounting firm to enter into a confidentiality agreement with the inspected Party obligating such accounting firm to treat all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality provisions. Such accounting firm will not disclose Confidential Information of the inspected Party to the inspecting Party, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the inspected Party or the amount of payments to or by the inspected Party under this Agreement.

12.10 Interest. Each Party will pay interest on any amounts payable by such Party that are overdue under this Agreement from the day payment was initially due at the prime or equivalent rate per annum quoted by The Wall Street Journal on the first Business Day after such payment is due; provided, however, that in no case will such interest rate exceed the highest rate permitted by Applicable Laws. The payment of such interest will not foreclose a Party from exercising any other rights it may have because any payment is overdue.

12.11 Taxes.

(a) Withholding Tax. All payments due and payable hereunder will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax except to the extent otherwise required by Applicable Laws. If Avenzo is required to withhold any Taxes, then Avenzo will (i) notify Allorion at least [***] days prior to making any such deduction or withholding and reasonably cooperate with Allorion to reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding, (ii) make such deduction and withholding to the extent required; (iii) pay to the relevant Governmental Authority the amount withheld; and (iv) promptly forward to Allorion an official receipt (or certified copy) or other available documentation reasonably acceptable to Allorion necessary to effectuate or evidence such payment to such authorities. For the avoidance of doubt, Avenzo’s remittance of such withheld Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Authority, together with payment to Allorion of the remaining amount owed under this Agreement, shall constitute full satisfaction of the applicable payment due to Allorion. In the event a Governmental Authority asserts that additional Taxes should have been withheld from a payment to Allorion, Allorion agrees to indemnify Avenzo for any withholding Taxes imposed on Avenzo with respect to such payments, together with any penalties and interest imposed in connection therewith; provided that (A) if such under-withholding was caused by the gross negligence or willful or intentional misconduct of Avenzo, Allorion shall not be required to indemnify Avenzo for the associated penalties and interest imposed in connection therewith, and (B) Avenzo shall promptly notify Allorion and provide Allorion with reasonable cooperation and the opportunity, in Allorion’s good faith discretion, to contest any such assertion made by such Governmental Authority at Allorion’s cost for out-of-pocket expenses incurred. At Avenzo’s election and following the final judgment, settlement or compromise with respect to an assertion made by a Governmental Authority pursuant to the preceding sentence (or, if Allorion does not contest such Taxes, following the payment of such Taxes by Avenzo), (1) Avenzo may offset such amount from future payments due to Allorion under this Agreement, or (2) Allorion shall pay such amount to Avenzo promptly upon request. Notwithstanding the above, if withholding arises solely as a result of an assignment by Avenzo pursuant to Section* 19.4* (Assignment) or as a result of a change in Avenzo’s status as a C corporation organized under the Applicable Laws of Delaware and such withholding cannot be reduced through the cooperation of the Parties (using Commercially Reasonable Efforts), then Avenzo shall pay such additional amounts to Allorion as necessary so that the net amount received by Allorion, after all required deductions and withholdings (including with respect to such additional amounts), is an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. The obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to the

54


preceding sentence shall not apply, however, to the extent such withholding tax or increased withholding tax (x) would not have been imposed but for any assignment of this Agreement by Allorion as permitted under Section*** 19.4* (Assignment), or as a result of a change in Allorion’s status as a C corporation organized under the Applicable Laws of Massachusetts or (y) is attributable to a failure by Allorion to comply with the tax documentation requirements of Section*** 12.11(c)* (Cooperation). Allorion shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain a refund or other cash tax savings in respect of any increased withholding tax due to an assignment or change in status of Avenzo for which Avenzo is liable under this Section*** 12.11(a)* (Withholding Tax) by making a valid tax treaty claim or providing a similar tax certification, and to the extent that Allorion obtains such refund or recognizes cash tax savings as a result of such withholding tax liability, Allorion shall reimburse Avenzo an amount equal to such refund or cash tax savings; provided, however, that cash tax savings shall be determined in the Allorion tax year in which withholding tax was imposed and only to the extent cash tax savings are recognized after Allorion has first utilized all available other deductions, expenses, credits, carryforwards or other tax assets.

(b) Indirect Taxes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all amounts stated herein are inclusive of any transfer, documentary, sales use, stamp, registration, consumption, goods and services, VAT, or other similar Taxes (each an “Indirect Tax”). In the event that any Indirect Tax is imposed under Applicable Law with respect to the transactions, payments or the related transfer of rights or other property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Allorion shall pay such Indirect Taxes (except for Indirect Taxes with respect to Section*** 12.3* (Funding for Certain CDK4 Program Expenses), which shall be paid by Avenzo). If Avenzo bears any Indirect Tax directly (other than Indirect Taxes with respect to (i)* Section**** 12.3* (Funding for Certain CDK4 Program Expenses) or (ii) the drug material listed on Exhibit 9.1 (Transferred Drug Material)), then Allorion shall promptly reimburse Avenzo for such Tax; provided that, if Allorion bears any Indirect Taxes directly that are with respect to (A)* Section**** 12.3* (Funding for Certain CDK4 Program Expenses) or (B) the drug material listed on Exhibit 9.1 (Transferred Drug Material), then Avenzo shall promptly reimburse Allorion for such Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, “Indirect Taxes” shall not include any Taxes taken into account in the determination of Net Sales and any Indirect Taxes that arise if Avenzo (or a United States corporate subsidiary of Avenzo) is not the payor.

(c) Cooperation. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual objective and intent to minimize, to the extent permitted under the Applicable Laws, any Taxes payable in connection with this Agreement. The Parties will reasonably cooperate with each other in good faith in accordance with Applicable Laws to minimize any Taxes in connection with this Agreement, including by claiming any exemption from any required Taxes or withholdings (or additional Taxes or double taxation) and seeking any refund of Taxes paid or withheld, under any Applicable Law or regulation or treaty from time to time in force. The Parties will provide each other with any Tax forms or other documentation that may be reasonably necessary in order for the other not to withhold Tax or to withhold Tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income Tax treaty. Each Party shall provide to the other at least [***] days prior to the due date of the first payment to such Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the other Party), an appropriate and properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9.

**ARTICLE 13 **

**CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICATION **

13.1 Confidential Information. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party agrees that, during the Term and for [***] years thereafter (or, with respect to Confidential Information that is a trade secret of the Disclosing Party, until such trade secret no longer qualifies as a trade secret under Applicable Law), such Party (the “Receiving Party”) will keep confidential and will not publish or otherwise disclose and will not use for any purpose, other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement,

55


any information furnished to it by or on behalf of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) pursuant to this Agreement or under the Confidentiality Agreement (“Confidential Information”), whether before or after the Effective Date, and whether in written, electronic, oral, visual, graphic or any other form. The Receiving Party may use Confidential Information only to the extent required to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party will use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own, but no less than reasonable care, to ensure that its, and its Affiliates’, employees, agents, consultants and other representatives (“Representatives”) do not publish or disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information by the Receiving Party, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives; provided that any such notification will not be construed, or offered as evidence in any Dispute, as an admission of any wrongdoing by or on behalf of the Receiving Party, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement and the Joint Collaboration Technology will be deemed the Confidential Information of both Parties, and each Party will be deemed to be the Receiving Party and Disclosing Party with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not include information that the Receiving Party can prove by competent evidence:

(a) was already known by the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, prior to the time of receiving such information from the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by its pre-existing written records;

(b) is, as of the Effective Date, or thereafter becomes, generally known or available to the public, other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement;

(c) was subsequently lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis by a Third Party, as a matter of right (i.e., without breaching any obligation such Third Party may have to the Disclosing Party); or

(d) is independently discovered or developed by the Receiving Party, independently of the activities undertaken by the Receiving Party pursuant to this Agreement and without the use of or reference to Confidential Information furnished by the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s contemporaneously maintained written records.

13.2 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section*** 13.1* (Confidential Information), the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as expressly permitted by this Agreement, or if and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

(a) Prosecuting Patents as permitted by this Agreement;

(b) subject to Section*** 13.3(a)* (Generally), prosecuting or defending litigation as permitted by this Agreement;

(c) subject to Section*** 13.3(a)* (Generally), complying with valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority, or other judicial or administrative process, or if in the reasonable opinion of the Receiving Party’s legal counsel, such disclosure is otherwise required by Applicable Law, in each case, other than disclosure of the terms of this Agreement to a Securities Regulator;

56


(d) subject to Section*** 13.3(b)* (Securities Filings), disclosure of the terms of this Agreement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange on which the Receiving Party’s securities are traded (each, a “Securities Regulator”);

(e) disclosure in Regulatory Submissions that the Receiving Party has the right to make under this Agreement;

(f) disclosure to the Receiving Party, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives, and the Receiving Party’s Sublicensees (or, with respect to Allorion, sublicensees), in each case, who have a need to know such information in order for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, provided, in each case, that any such Affiliate, Representative or Sublicensee (or, with respect to Allorion, sublicensees) agrees to be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those set forth in this Article 13 (Confidentiality; Publication);

(g) disclosure of the existence and applicable terms of this Agreement and the status and results of the Exploitation of one or more Licensed Products by such Receiving Party in its territory, in each case, to actual or bona fide potential investors, acquirers, licensees, Sublicensees (or, in the case of Allorion, (sub)licensees), lenders, and other financial or commercial partners (including in connection with any Securitization Transaction), and their respective attorneys, accountants, banks, investors, and advisors, solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out or performing an actual or potential investment, acquisition, license, sublicense, debt transaction, royalty financing, or collaboration; provided that, in each such case, on the condition that such Persons are bound by obligations of confidentiality, non-disclosure, and non-use obligations at least as restrictive or protective of the Parties as those set forth in this Agreement or otherwise customary for such type and scope of disclosure and that any such disclosure is limited to the maximum extent practicable for the particular context in which it is being disclosed; and

(h) presenting, disclosing and discussing general information about the existence of the Agreement and the general progress of the Licensed Products in such Receiving Party’s territory at investor press conferences, earnings calls, or similar events, provided that neither Party will, in any such permitted disclosure, disclose the financial terms relating to the Licensed Products or this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party unless such terms have already been disclosed with a Securities Regulator or in a permitted press release or other permitted public announcement pursuant to Sections 13.2(d) (Permitted Disclosures) or Section*** 13.6* (Public Announcements).

13.3 Confidential Treatment.

(a) Generally. In the event the Receiving Party is required to make a disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section*** 13.2(b)* (Permitted Disclosures) or Section*** 13.2(c)* (Permitted Disclosures), it will, except where prohibited by Applicable Law or judicial or administrative process, (i) give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such required disclosure, (ii) use efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information at least as diligent as the Receiving Party would use to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts and (iii) cooperate with any lawful efforts by the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s request and expense, to contest such disclosure, to obtain a protective order for the Confidential Information required to be disclosed, or to secure other confidential treatment of such Confidential Information. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or the Disclosing Party waives compliance with certain terms of this Article 13 (Confidentiality; Publication), then the Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of Confidential Information that the Receiving Party is advised by legal counsel is legally required to be disclosed. Disclosure by the Receiving Party of Confidential Information in accordance with Section*** 13.2(b)* (Permitted Disclosures) or Section*** 13.2(c)* (Permitted Disclosures) will not, in and of itself, cause the information so disclosed to cease to be treated as Confidential Information under this Agreement, except to the extent that, by virtue of disclosure by the Receiving Party in full compliance with this Section*** 13.2* (Permitted Disclosures), such information becomes generally known or available. In any event, the Receiving Party agrees to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder.

57


(b) Securities Filings. In the event the Receiving Party is required to make a disclosure of the terms of this Agreement to a Securities Regulator pursuant to Section*** 13.2(d)* (Permitted Disclosures), such Party will, within a reasonable time prior to any such filing (and to the extent possible at least [***] Business Days’ prior to any such filing), provide the other Party with a copy of this Agreement showing any provisions hereof as to which such Party proposes to request confidential treatment, will provide the other Party with an opportunity to comment on any such proposed redactions and to suggest additional redactions, and will take such Party’s reasonable comments into consideration before filing such copy of this Agreement and use reasonable efforts to have terms identified by such other Party afforded confidential treatment by the applicable regulatory agency;* provided* that each Party will ultimately retain control over what information to disclose to any Securities Regulator to the extent such Party determines, on the advice of legal counsel, that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with Applicable Law, and provided, further, that the Parties will use their reasonable efforts to file redacted versions of this Agreement with any Securities Regulator that are consistent with redacted versions previously filed with any other Securities Regulator(s).

13.4 Use of Names. Subject to Section*** 13.6* (Public Announcements), neither Party nor any of its Affiliates will mention or otherwise use the name, logo or trademark of the other Party or any of its Affiliates in any publication, press release, marketing and promotional material or other form of publicity in connection with this Agreement or activities hereunder without the prior written approval of such other Party; *provided *that such consent will not be required for a Party’s use of the other Party’s name and company logo to identify such other Party as a collaborator on such first Party’s website and in public presentations.

13.5 Publication of Licensed Product Information.

(a) Publication Rights. During the Term, (i) Allorion will be permitted to make publications solely with respect to the results of its Development activities, including Clinical Trials, with respect to the Licensed Products in the Allorion Territory and will have the sole and exclusive right to publish on the foregoing, and (ii) Avenzo will be permitted to make publications solely with respect to the results of its Development activities, including Clinical Trials, with respect to the Licensed Products in the Avenzo Territory or Allorion Territory and will have the sole and exclusive right to publish on the foregoing; provided that the publishing Party shall coordinate with the other Party on the publication or presentation of any materials with respect to the Licensed Products by the publishing Party prior to any such publication or presentation, and any such publications or presentations shall be subject to the other Party’s review and comment.

Such other Party will review any such material and give its comments to the Party within [***] days of the delivery of such material to such other Party. With respect to public oral presentation materials and abstracts, each Party will make reasonable efforts to expedite review of such materials and abstracts, and will return such items as soon as practicable to the other Party with appropriate comments, if any, but in no event later than [***] days from the date of delivery to such Party. Each Party will comply with the other Party’s request to delete references to such other Party’s

58


Confidential Information in any such material. In addition, if any such publication contains patentable subject matter, then at the non-publishing Party’s request, the publishing Party will either delete the patentable subject matter from such publication or delay any submission for publication or other public disclosure for a period of up to an additional [***] days so that appropriate Patent applications may be prepared and filed.

13.6 Public Announcements. The Parties have agreed upon the content of a joint press release that will be issued substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 13.6, and the release of which the Parties will coordinate in order to accomplish the same promptly upon execution and delivery of this Agreement. Except as may be expressly permitted under Section*** 13.2* (Permitted Disclosures), this Section*** 13.6* (Public Announcements) or Section*** 13.5* (Publication of Licensed Product Information), neither Party nor its Affiliates will make any public announcement concerning this Agreement, its subject matter or the transactions described herein without first obtaining the approval of the other Party and agreement upon the nature, text and timing of such announcement, which approval and agreement will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Party desiring to make any such public announcement will provide the other Party with a written copy of the proposed announcement in reasonably sufficient time prior to public release to allow the other Party to comment upon such announcement prior to public release. Neither Party will be required to seek the permission of the other Party to repeat any information regarding the terms of this Agreement or any amendment hereto that has already been publicly disclosed by such Party or by the other Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that such information remains accurate and the most current information with respect to the applicable subject matter as of such time.

13.7 Prior Non-Disclosure Agreements. Upon execution of this Agreement, the terms of this Article 13 (Confidentiality; Publication) will supersede any prior non-disclosure, secrecy or confidentiality agreement between the Parties, including the Confidentiality Agreement and the Exclusivity Letter. Any information disclosed under such prior agreements by Allorion will be deemed disclosed by Allorion under this Agreement, and any information disclosed under such prior agreements by Avenzo will be deemed disclosed by Avenzo under this Agreement.

**INDEMNIFICATION **

15.1 By Avenzo. Avenzo will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Allorion and its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees and agents (individually and collectively, the “Allorion Indemnitee(s)”), from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) (individually and collectively, “Losses”) incurred by them in connection with any claims, demands, actions or other proceedings by any Third Party (individually and collectively, “Claims”) arising after the Effective Date to the extent arising from any of the following, as applicable: (a) the Exploitation of any ARTS-021 Molecule, ARTS-021 Product, CDK4 Molecule, CDK4 Product, or CDK2/CDK4 Combination Product, in each case, in the Avenzo Territory or Allorion Territory by or under the authority of Avenzo or any of its Affiliates, Sublicensees or any other Avenzo Indemnitee, (b) the gross negligence or willful or intentional misconduct of Avenzo or any of its Affiliates, Sublicensees or any other Avenzo Indemnitee, or (c) Avenzo’s or any of its Affiliate’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants made in or pursuant to this Agreement, in each case (a) through (c), except to the extent such Losses arise from, are based on, or result from any activity or occurrence for which Allorion is obligated to indemnify the Avenzo Indemnitees pursuant to Section*** 15.2* (By Allorion).

15.2 By Allorion. Allorion will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Avenzo and its Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees and agents (individually and collectively, the “Avenzo Indemnitee(s)”), from and against all Losses incurred by them in connection with any Claims to the extent arising from any of the following, as applicable: (a) the Exploitation of any ARTS-021 Molecule, ARTS-021 Product, CDK4 Molecule, CDK4 Product, or CDK2/CDK4 Combination Product, in each case, in the Allorion Territory or any Terminated Products in the Avenzo Territory, including the conduct of activities under the Global Development Plan(s) or any CDK4 Preclinical Development Work by or under the authority of Allorion or any of its Affiliates, licensees (or other than Avenzo) or sublicensees or any other Allorion Indemnitee, (b) the gross negligence or willful or intentional misconduct of Allorion or any of its

63


Affiliates, licensees (other than Avenzo), sublicensees or other Allorion Indemnitee, or (c) Allorion’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants made in or pursuant to this Agreement, in each case (a) through (c) above, except to the extent such Losses arise from, are based on, or result from any activity or occurrence for which Avenzo is obligated to indemnify the Allorion Indemnitees pursuant to Section*** 15.1* (By Avenzo).

15.3 Procedure. A Party that intends to claim indemnification under this Article 15 (Indemnification) (the “Indemnitee”) with respect to any Claim will: (a) notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of such Claim as soon as reasonably practicable after it receives notice of such Claim (it being understood that the Indemnitee’s failure to deliver written notice of such Claim to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the Indemnitee receives notice of such Claim, will relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under Section*** 15.1* (By Avenzo) or Section*** 15.2* (By Allorion), as applicable, with respect to such Claim only to the extent such failure is prejudicial to the Indemnitor’s ability to defend such Claim); (b) permit the Indemnitor to assume direction and control of the defense of the Claim (including the right to settle the claim solely for monetary consideration) using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; and (c) cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of the Claim, as requested by the Indemnitor (at the expense of the Indemnitor). If the Indemnitor does not assume control of such defense within [***] days after receiving notice of the Claim from the Indemnitee, then the Indemnitee will control such defense and, without limiting the Indemnitor’s indemnification obligations, the Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnitee for all documented costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the Indemnitee in defending itself within [***] days after receipt of any invoice therefor from the Indemnitee. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense. The Party controlling such defense will keep the other Party advised of the status of such Claim and the defense thereof and will consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnitee will not agree to any settlement of such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Indemnitor will not agree to any settlement of such Claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability with respect thereto, that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnitee or that acknowledges fault by the Indemnitee; in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.

15.4 Insurance. Each Party, at its own expense, will obtain and maintain, during the Term and for [***] years thereafter, reasonable insurance, including commercial general liability insurance, worker’s compensation insurance and product liability insurance, at levels adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and consistent with industry standards. Each Party will furnish to the other Party on request certificates issued by the insurance company setting forth the amount of the liability insurance. It is understood that such insurance will not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 15 (Indemnification) or otherwise.

15.5 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. SUBJECT TO AND WITHOUT LIMITING (A) AMOUNTS PAID TO THIRD PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF EACH PARTY WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS UNDER *SECTION *15.1 (BY AVENZO) OR *SECTION *15.2 (BY ALLORION), (B) LIABILITY AS A RESULT OF A BREACH OF ARTICLE 13 (CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICATION), OR (C) LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF COVENANTS UNDER SECTION 5.8 (NON-COMPETE), NEITHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER ANY CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, MULTIPLIED OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR LOST PROFITS (EVEN IF DEEMED DIRECT DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Neither Party will enter into any settlement of any Third Party Infringement Claim: (a) in a manner that would diminish the rights or interests of the other Party with respect to the Licensed Products without the written consent of such other Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld; or (b) that would impose any cost, obligation, or liability on the other Party, or admit the invalidity or unenforceability of any Patent that is Controlled by the other Party, without such other Party’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in such other Party’s sole discretion. This Section*** 16.4* (Defense of Third Party Infringement Claims) shall not limit or exclude either Party’s rights to indemnification pursuant to Article 15 (Indemnification).

16.5 Enforcement.

(a) Notice.
