PREAMBLE 
 WHEREAS, Company
desires to engage Consultant as an independent contractor to perform certain advisory services for the Company related to the development of Onapristone and other assets of the Company; and 

WHEREAS, Consultant wishes to accept such engagement being offered by Company on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement,
including fees to be paid to Consultant by the Company for the specified consulting services to be rendered by Consultant. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows: 

1.    Engagement of Consultant by the Company. The Company hereby engages Consultant to provide the
Consulting Services (as defined below), and Consultant hereby accepts such engagement, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 

2.    Consulting Services to be Performed. During the Term (as defined below), Consultant shall provide to
the Company services, advice, knowledge and know-how with respect to the Company’s business as described on Exhibit A hereto and as mutually agreed in writing from time to time (the
“Consulting Services”); provided Consultant shall not charge for travel time related to Consulting Services unless agreed to in advance and in writing between the Company and Consultant. Consultant shall use Consultant’s best efforts
during the Term to provide the Consulting Services as and where requested by the Company, in a competent, diligent, professional and faithful manner. Consultant shall be available to perform the Consulting Services for no less than the time periods
set forth on Exhibit A. Company’s point-of-contact (“POC”) during the Term shall be Martin Lehr, or others as specifically designated by Company.

 3.    Term and Termination. 

(a)    Term. The term during which Consultant shall provide the Consulting Services hereunder (the
“Term”) shall commence on the date hereof and continue in full force and effect until two (2) years from the Effective Date unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 3(b); provided, however, that
the Term may be extended by written agreement of the parties. 
 (b)    The Company may terminate this Agreement, and
the Term, (i) upon five (5) days’ prior written notice to Consultant, or (ii) immediately if Consultant breaches any provision hereunder. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Consultant shall only be entitled to
receive the compensation described below up until the date of termination. 
 Certain identified information has been omitted from this
exhibit because it is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed. [***] indicates that information has been omitted. 












 (c)    The termination or expiration of this Agreement shall in no way
affect the provisions of confidentiality and proprietary rights set forth herein. Sections 5 through 7 and Sections 9 through 16 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

4.    Compensation. 

(a)    Consulting Fee. Company shall pay to Consultant a consulting fee (the “Consulting Fee”)
pursuant to the amounts set forth in Exhibit A. Consultant shall present monthly invoices to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the work performed during the prior one-month period and the
time spent by Consultant thereon. The Company shall pay such undisputed amounts of such invoices within thirty (30) days of receipt, provided that both parties agree the invoices accurately represent the work actually performed by Consultant.
Any disputed amounts will be paid upon resolution of the dispute between the parties. All Consulting Fees shall be paid gross of any applicable taxes required by applicable laws to be paid by Consultant in connections with fees for services of the
type contemplated hereunder. 
 (b)    Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Consultant for
reasonable and necessary business expenses for transportation, lodging and meals while traveling for Company work; provided, that Consultant receives prior written authorization from a Company POC for such expenses. For purposes of this
Section 4(b), email is considered acceptable written authorization. Consultant agrees to adhere to the guidelines set forth in the Company’s travel policy, to the extent one exists, or such other guidelines indicated by the Company in
order to ensure travel-related expenses are reasonable and reimbursable. Cell phone and connectivity-related costs will not be reimbursed. Consultant shall coordinate with the Company to make appropriate travel arrangements for attendance at
meetings at which the Company requests Consultant to be present, and the Company shall have the right to approve in advance any and all expenses of Consultant in connection with attendance at such meetings. Consultant agrees to provide properly
documented expenses for reimbursement to the Company for approval and reimbursement within thirty (30) days of completion of each meeting; any such documentation provided thereafter may be reimbursed at Company’s sole discretion. 

5.    Relationship of Parties. 

(a)    Consultant’s engagement hereunder shall be as an independent contractor, and Consultant is not an employee,
agent, representative, stockholder or partner of the Company. All the terms and condition of this Agreement shall be interpreted in light of that relationship. Without limitation, Consultant shall not be entitled to any benefits, or to participate
in any benefit plans, available to employees of the Company. The Company shall be under no obligation to provide work for Consultant. The parties intend that Consultant shall be solely responsible for any of its members, employees, consultants, and
any self-employed individual providing services through Consultant, and Consultant acknowledges that it shall be solely responsible for the payment of any national or local income taxes or national or local self-employment taxes arising with respect
to the amounts payable hereunder and that Consultant has no supranational, national, state or local law workers’ compensation rights with respect to the

Consulting Services provided under this Agreement. Consultant shall be responsible for any workers’ compensation insurance, if applicable. In addition, Consultant shall not be entitled to
any life insurance, short or long-term disability coverage, or any other privileges, including, without limitation, holiday pay, vacation pay, employee cash incentive plans, stock options, 401(k) plan, or F.I.C.A/Medicare contributions, federal or
state unemployment insurance, or any other benefits made available to employees of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, Consultant shall not be eligible to participate in any benefit plans of the Company made available to its employees and
Consultant shall be solely responsible for anyone performing services hereunder on Consultant’s behalf. 

(b)    Company acknowledges that Consultant is free to perform similar services for others and will not restrict or
otherwise interfere with Consultant’s ability to perform such services, provided Consultant does not otherwise violated the terms of this Agreement. Company recognizes that Consultant may be subject to other obligations. 

6.    Covenants 

(a)    Conflicting Obligations. Consultant certifies that Consultant has no outstanding agreement or
obligation that is in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, or that would preclude Consultant from complying with the provisions hereof, and further certifies that Consultant will not enter into any such conflicting agreement during
the term of this Agreement. 
 (b)    Confidentiality. You agree that you will not, directly or
indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person or entity, other than in the course of your assigned duties hereunder and for the benefit of the Company, either while you are providing Consulting Services to
the Company hereunder or at any time thereafter, any business and technical information or trade secrets, nonpublic, proprietary or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company, whether the foregoing will have been obtained by
you during your engagement hereunder or otherwise; provided the obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to Company trade secrets shall continue for so long as such information is considered a
Company trade secret. The foregoing confidentiality obligations will not apply to information that (i) was known to the public prior to its disclosure to you; (ii) becomes generally known to the public or in the Company’s industry
subsequent to disclosure to you through no wrongful act by you or any of your representatives; or (iii) you are required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that you provide the Company with prior notice of the
contemplated disclosure and cooperate with the Company in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information). You acknowledge that you are aware (and any representative who receive Confidential Information has or will be
advised) that federal and state securities laws prohibit any person who has material non-public information about a company or its securities from purchasing or selling securities of such company, or from
communicating such information to other persons under circumstances in which it is foreseeable that such person may purchase or sell such securities. You covenant to refrain from using or communicating material
non-public information provided by or on behalf of the Company in violation of such securities laws.

of, any works, Inventions, or other intellectual property rights that you own, which are not assigned hereby, you hereby grant to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, worldwide, non-exclusive,
royalty free license, with the right to sublicense (through various tiers), use, modify and create derivative works using such works, Inventions or other intellectual property rights, but only to the extent necessary to permit the Company (or its
designee) to fully realize their ownership rights in the Company Inventions. 
 (h)    Cooperation. Upon
the receipt of notice from the Company (including outside counsel), you agree that while engaged by the Company and thereafter, you will respond and provide information with regard to matters in which you have knowledge as a result of your
engagement by the Company, and will provide reasonable assistance to the Company and its representatives in defense of any claims that may be made against the Company, and will assist the Company in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by

threatened against the Company. You also agree to promptly inform the Company (to the extent you are legally permitted to do so) if you are asked to assist in any investigation of the Company (or its actions), regardless of whether a lawsuit or

duration or scope or extends for too long a period of time or over too 

  
 6
