Program, provided, however, that the first payment will be due on the fifth (5th) business day following the
Effective Date. For example, [**] in which the Curis Staffing Level is expected to be [**] ([**]) FTE Scientists, Wyeth would pay to Curis the sum of [**] dollars ($[**]) (i.e., ([**] x $[**])/[**]). 

  

	 	3.4.2	 Reporting and Reconciliation. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the term of the Research Program, Curis
will provide to Wyeth a report setting forth the number of Curis FTE Scientists devoted to the Research Program in such calendar quarter along with their names and titles. In the event that Curis shall, in any calendar quarter, devote to the conduct
of the Research Program a number of Curis FTE Scientist that is less than the then current Curis Staffing Level, Curis shall in good faith endeavor to devote, at its own expense, additional Curis FTE Scientists to the conduct of the Research Program
in subsequent calendar quarters to make up for the shortfall (the “Additional FTE Scientists”). If, despite Curis’ good faith efforts to make up any shortfall in number of Curis FTE Scientists devoted to the Research Program, it is
determined at the end of each calendar year during the term of the Research Program that Curis has, over such calendar year, utilized less than the number of Curis FTE Scientists funded by Wyeth hereunder, Curis shall within thirty (30) days after
such determination refund to Wyeth the excess Research Program funding provided to Curis under Section 3.4.1 above, which refund shall be equal to the FTE Rate multiplied by the difference between (x) the number (in the aggregate) of Curis FTE
Scientists that were funded

 CONFIDENTIAL 
  


	 	 
by Wyeth over the calendar year of the Research Program in accordance with Section 3.4.1 and (y) the actual number of Curis FTE Scientists, in the aggregate,
that were devoted to the Research Program during such calendar year of the Research Program. For example, if the number of Curis FTE Scientists funded by Wyeth during the calendar year of the Research Program was eight ([**]) and Curis, in fact,
only utilized [**] ([**]) Curis FTE Scientists during the calendar year of the Research Program,, Curis would refund [**] ($[**]) to Wyeth (i.e. [**] x $[**]). 


  

	 	3.4.3	Records and Audits. During the term of the Research Program and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, Curis shall keep and maintain accurate and complete records
showing the time devoted and activities performed by each Curis FTE Scientist in performing Curis’ obligations under the Research Program in sufficient detail such that the number of Curis FTE Scientist FTEs applied to the Research Program
during each calendar quarter thereof can be accurately determined. Upon ten (10) days prior written notice from Wyeth, Curis shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by Wyeth and
reasonably acceptable to Curis, to examine the relevant books and records of Curis and its Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the reports submitted to Wyeth under 3.4.2 hereof and the number of Curis FTE Scientists
applied to the performance of Curis’ obligations under the Research Program. The accounting firm shall provide both Curis and Wyeth a written report disclosing whether the reports submitted by Curis are correct or incorrect and the specific
details concerning any discrepancies. If the accounting firm determines the number of FTE Scientists actually utilized by Curis was less than the number funded by Wyeth during the period covered by the audit, Curis shall refund the excess payments
to Wyeth within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the auditor’s report so concluding. Additionally, if the amount to be refunded exceeds more than five percent (5%) of the amount that was properly payable, Curis shall reimburse Wyeth for the
cost of the audit. 

  

	 	3.5	Reporting and Disclosure. 

  

	 	3.5.1	 Reports. Prior to each quarterly meeting of the JSC, Curis and Wyeth will each provide the other with written copies of all materials they

single unit of any Agreement Product regardless of how many Valid Patent Claims were or would be, but for this Agreement, infringed by the discovery, development, making, using or selling of such Agreement Product. 

  

	 	(b)	Within [**] ([**]) calendar days after the first day of January, April, July and October of each year following the First Commercial Sale of an Agreement Product, Wyeth shall submit

translation procedures, consistently applied. 

  

	 	6.10	 Withholding Taxes. Wyeth may deduct the amount of any taxes imposed on Curis which are required to be withheld or collected by Wyeth or its sublicensees

	 	(b)	Wyeth shall, at the request of Curis, permit a nationally recognized independent certified public accountant selected by Curis (except one to whom Wyeth has some reasonable
objection) to have access during ordinary business hours, to such books and records as may be necessary to determine the correctness of any royalty report or royalty payment made under this Agreement or to obtain information as to royalties payable
in case of failure to report or pay pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Such examination shall be conducted after at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Wyeth and shall take place at the Wyeth facility(ies) where such books and
records are maintained. Before permitting such independent accounting firm to have access to such books and records and to the extent reasonable and customary, Wyeth may require such independent accounting firm and its personnel involved in such
audit to sign a confidentiality agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Wyeth) as to any of Wyeth’s, its Affiliates’ or sublicensees’ confidential information that is to be provided to such accounting firm or to
which such accounting firm will have access while conducting the audit under this Section 6.11. Curis shall be responsible for expenses for the independent certified public accountant initially selected by Curis, except that Wyeth shall reimburse
Curis if the independent accountant determines the royalties paid by Wyeth to Curis are less than ninety percent (90%) of the amount actually owed to Curis for the period from the date of this Agreement until the date of the audit. The accounting
firm shall disclose to Curis only whether the royalty reports are correct or not, and, if applicable, the specific details concerning any discrepancies. All inspections made by Curis hereunder shall be made no later than three (3) years after the
royalty or report that is the subject of the investigation was due.

to obtain all available supplementary protection certificates and other extensions of Patent Rights relating to Program Inventions (including those available under the Hatch-Waxman Act). Each Party shall execute such authorizations and other
documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain such extensions. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in gaining patent term restorations, extensions and/or supplementary protection
certificates (“SPC”) wherever applicable to Patent Rights covering Products. The Party first eligible to seek patent term restoration or extension of any such Patent or any SPC related thereto shall have the right to do so; provided, that
if in any country the first Party has an option to

extend the patent term for only one of several patents, the first Party will consult with the other Party before making the election. If more than one patent
is eligible for extension or patent term restoration, the JSC shall agree upon a strategy that will maximize patent protection for Products. All filings for such extensions and certificates shall be made by the Party to whom the patent is assigned,
provided, that in the event that the Party to whom the patent is assigned elects not to file for an extension or supplementary protection certificate, such Party shall (i) inform the other Party of its intention not to file and (ii) grant the other
Party the right to file for such extension or certificate.

Rights comprising Curis or Wyeth Technology that covers any Product is invalid or that any infringement will not arise from the manufacture, use or sale of any Product by a Third Party. If Wyeth decides not to bring infringement proceedings against
the entity making such a certification with respect to any such Patent Rights pursuant to Section 7.5, Wyeth shall give notice to Curis of its decision not to bring suit within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of such certification (or, if less
than twenty (20) days, within half of the time period permitted by law for Wyeth to commence such action). Curis may then, but is not required to, bring suit against the Third Party that filed the certification. Any suit by either Party may be in
the name of either or both Parties, as may be required by law. For this purpose, the Party not bringing suit shall execute such legal papers necessary for the prosecution of such suit as may be reasonably requested by the Party bringing suit.


  

	 	7.4.2	Orange Book Listings. To the extent required by law, Wyeth shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain with the applicable Regulatory Authorities

Collaboration Technology, in the event that Wyeth is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name or it is otherwise advisable in order to obtain an effective remedy, Curis will join such action voluntarily and will execute and
cause its Affiliates to execute all documents necessary for Wyeth to initiate litigation to prosecute and maintain such action. If Curis initiates any such action as permitted by Section 7.5.2, Wyeth shall cooperate in a similar manner. In
connection with any action, Wyeth and Curis will cooperate fully and will provide each other with any information or assistance that either may reasonably request. Each Party shall keep the other informed of developments in any action or proceeding,

	 	(a)	a Third Party is granted a patent relating to the Curis Technology; 

  

	 	(b)	subject to the provisions set forth below in this Section 10.4, either Party determines, after good faith discussions with the other Party and based on the advice of patent counsel,
that such patent (a “Blocking Patent”) may be infringed by the activities of either Party under the Research Program and, if asserted by such Third Party, would have a reasonable probability of preventing the use of Curis Technology
necessary for use in the Research Program as contemplated herein; and add language re: mutual agreement or mini-arbitration if disagreement. 

  

	 	(c)	 the Parties, within ninety (90) days of making the determination in Section 10.4(b) above, shall use their reasonable efforts to attempt to modify the Research

 CONFIDENTIAL 
  


	 	 
make such modifications or obtain such a license from such Third Party, or otherwise fail to agree on or implement plan to avoid such infringement,



  
 each Party shall have the right, upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party, to terminate the Research Program in its entirety or that portion of the Research Program which may be infringing such Third Party patent. Upon any such termination of the Research Program in
its entirety, the Parties shall have the rights set forth in Section 10.9.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the non-terminating Party, based on the advice of its patent counsel, continues to believe that the Blocking Patent would not be infringed
by the activities of either Party under the Research Program, such non-terminating Party may, within ten (10) business days of its receipt of notice of termination under this Section 10.4, elect, by written notice to the terminating Party, to have
the matter referred to an independent patent attorney mutually agreed upon by the Parties for resolution. Such independent patent attorney shall determine whether or not the activities of either Party under the Research Program would likely be found
to infringe such Blocking Patent within thirty (30) days after the matter is so referred. Such decision shall be binding upon the Parties for purposes of this Section 10.4. Each Party shall provide (in a timely manner so as to allow a decision to be
made within the time frame identified above) to such independent patent attorney all documentation and other information in its possession which may be relevant for such independent patent attorney to evaluate the matter. The expenses of such
independent patent attorney shall be borne by the non-terminating Party if it is determined by the independent patent attorney that the activities of either Party under the Research Program would be likely to infringe such Blocking Patent. Otherwise
the expenses of such independent patent attorney shall be shared equally by the Parties. 
  

	 	10.5	Termination of Research Program Upon an Acquisition. Subject to the terms of this Section 10.5, upon the Acquisition of Curis by a Third Party during the term of the Research

election to terminate the Research Program to Curis. Such termination shall not become effective unless and until (a) the Acquisition becomes effective, (b) Wyeth and Curis (including for this purpose any successor to Curis) have discussed and
considered in good faith, but fail to reach any agreement within thirty (30) days thereafter to continue the Research Program, and (c) in no event less than sixty (60) days following Wyeth’s notification of its election to terminate (the
“Termination Period”).

	 	10.7	Termination by Wyeth for Safety Reasons. Wyeth shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, at any time upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to
Curis, if a major mechanism-based toxicological finding would emerge which, in the judgment of Wyeth’s Drug Safety and Metabolism management, would preclude the development of Activator Compounds for use in humans. 

  

	 	10.8	Default. 

  

	 	10.8.1	Notice of Default and Cure Period. Upon the Default by either Party (the “Defaulting Party”) of its material obligations under this Agreement, the other Party (the
“Nondefaulting Party”) may notify the defaulting Party of such Default, which notice shall specify the particulars of such Default with reference to the particular sections of this Agreement that have been breached, and require that the
defaulting Party cure such Default within [**] ([**]) days; provided, however, that if (i) such Default (other than any payment default) is capable of being cured, but not within such [**] ([**]) day period, and (ii) the defaulting Party uses
its best efforts to cure such default, such [**] ([**]) day period shall be extended for so long as diligent efforts are being applied to cure such Default (but not longer than [**] ([**]) months). 

  

	 	10.8.2	Right to Terminate. 

  

	 	(a)	If prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Research Term, Wyeth is the Defaulting Party and s has not cured the Default at the end of the period specified in Section
10.8.1, Curis shall have the right, without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement and, subject to Section 10.12 hereof, in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this
Agreement in its entirety. 

  

	 	(b)	 If after the expiration or earlier termination of the Research Term, Wyeth is the Defaulting Party and has not cured the Default at the 



  

 62 









 CONFIDENTIAL 
  


	 	 
end of the period specified in Section 10.8.1, Curis shall have the right, without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement
and, subject to Section 10.12 hereof, in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement only with respect to the Agreement Compound or Agreement Product that is directly affected by the Default,
provided, however, that in the event such Default occurs after a Regulatory Approval Application is submitted for the affected Agreement Product in any country then Curis’ right to terminate as described above in this Section 10.8.2(b)
shall be further limited to termination of the rights and licenses granted to Wyeth for such Agreement Product in the country affected by the Default. 


  

	 	(c)	If Curis is the Defaulting Party and has not cured the Default at the end of the period specified in Section 10.8.1, Wyeth shall have the right, without prejudice to any of its
other rights conferred on it by this Agreement and, subject to Section 10.12 hereof, in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement in whole or in part with respect to the Agreement Compound or
Agreement Product that is directly affected by the Default (e.g., by terminating the Research Program or terminating the obligations under the Agreement with respect to one or more Agreement Compounds or Agreement Products in one or more
countries). 

  

	 	10.8.3	Notice of Termination. If the Nondefaulting Party elects to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, as permitted under Section 10.8.2 above, the
Nondefaulting Party shall provide written notice to the Defaulting Party of such termination at least sixty (60) days prior to the date on which such termination is to become effective. 

  

	 	10.9	Effects of Termination.  

  

	 	10.9.1	 Termination of Research Program. In the event of termination of the Research Program under Sections 10.4 or 10.5, Wyeth shall promptly
reimburse Curis for any reasonable, unavoidable and/or non-cancelable wind down expenditures arising during the Termination Period (excluding personnel costs, which would be handled in accordance with the provisions herein pertaining to FTEs)
necessary to bring the Research Program efficiently to closure. Curis shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate all such wind down costs including, to the extent possible, by using its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to re-deploy 



  

 63 









 CONFIDENTIAL 
  


	 	 
personnel on the Research Program to other Curis (or successor) research efforts. For avoidance of any doubt, during the Termination Period, to the extent
Curis personnel are assigned to the Research Program and cannot be re-deployed by Curis as described above, it is understood that such employees would continue to be committed to the current goals of the Research Program which at such time may be,
among other things, to wind down the Research Program as efficiently as possible including, to the extent required under this Agreement, transferring pertinent Research Program information to Wyeth in an efficient and comprehensive manner. In
addition, at the end of the Termination Period, if Curis shall have utilized less than the full number of FTE Scientists funded by Wyeth in accordance with Section 3.4.1 hereof, then Curis shall promptly refund to Wyeth any excess Research Program
funding provided to Curis. In the event the Research Program is so terminated under Sections 10.4 or 10.5, subject to Wyeth’s immediate notice of its intention payment and other obligations under this Agreement, Wyeth shall retain the licenses
granted to it pursuant to Sections 2.1(c) and 2.1(d) in respect of any Agreement Compounds and Agreement Products identified prior to such termination.

Agreement would terminate, (ii) all right, title and interest in Curis Compounds would revert to Curis, and (iii) Curis would pay to Wyeth a royalty in the amount of [**] percent ([**]%) of net sales (defined comparably to Net Sales in Section 1.52
above) obtained by Curis, its Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees or commercialization partners of any product containing any Curis Compound that was a Clinical Development Candidate prior to such termination. In the event of any such termination,
subject to Section 2.8, Curis shall have no right, title or interest in or to any Wyeth Compound, provided, however, that, in the event Wyeth, after such termination, obtains Regulatory Approval for and thereafter sells any such Wyeth
Compound or Collaboration Compound, which Compound was determined, through the use of the Curis Technology, to be an Activator Compound and such Regulatory Approval is obtained for therapeutic indications wherein such Compound primarily exerts its
therapeutic effect through Pathway Activator Activity, Wyeth shall remain obligated to pay to Curis royalties on Net Sales of such Wyeth Compound or Collaboration Compound in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.6 above.


  

	 	10.9.3	 Termination by Wyeth under Section 10.7. If Wyeth terminates this Agreement under Section 10.7 above, (i) all rights and licenses granted to

obligation to Wyeth, and (iv) subject to Section 2.8, all right, title and interest in and to Wyeth Compounds would revert to Wyeth, without any further obligation to Curis. In the event that, after such termination, Wyeth, its Affiliates or
sublicensees obtains Regulatory Approval for and sells any Compound that is the subject of such termination and was determined to be an Activator Compound prior to such termination, where such Regulatory Approval is for and such Compound is sold for
use in therapeutic indications, wherein such Compound achieves its therapeutic effect by activation of the Hedgehog Pathway, Wyeth shall continue to pay royalties as set forth in Section 6.6 of this Agreement. 


  

	 	10.9.4	Termination by Curis under Section 10.8.2(a). If Curis terminates this Agreement under Section 10.8.2(a) above, (i) all rights and licenses granted to Wyeth by
Curis under this Agreement would terminate, (ii) except as expressly provided below in this Section 10.9.4, all rights and licenses granted to Curis by Wyeth under this Agreement would terminate, (iii) all right, title and interest in and to Curis
Compounds would revert to Curis, and (iv) all right, title and interest in and to Wyeth Compounds and Collaboration Compounds would revert to Wyeth, provided, however, that upon Curis’ written request (such request to be made within
sixty (60) days after Curis provides notice of such termination), Wyeth shall enter into a separate agreement with Curis granting to Curis a nonexclusive license to develop, make, have made, use, import, offer for sale, sell and have sold any such
Wyeth Compound or Collaboration Compound that is also an Activator Compound, which Wyeth Compound or Collaboration Compound (x) prior to the date of such termination, had achieved the status of Clinical Development Candidate or beyond in the course
of the Research Program and (y) is not, on or prior to the date of such termination, being developed or commercialized by or on behalf of Wyeth, its Affiliates or any licensee or sublicense of Wyeth or its Affiliates for any therapeutic indication
wherein such Compound exerts its therapeutic effect primarily through a mechanism of action other than activation of the Hedgehog Pathway. Curis shall pay to Wyeth a royalty in the amount of [**] percent ([**]%) of the net sales (defined comparably
to Net Sales in Section 1.52 above) obtained by Curis, its Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees or commercialization partners of any product containing any such, Wyeth Compound or Collaboration Compound.

	 	10.9.5	Termination by Curis under Section 10.8.2(b). If Curis terminates this Agreement under Section 10.8.2(b) above, (i) all rights and licenses granted to Wyeth by
Curis under this Agreement would terminate with respect to those Compounds that are the subject of such termination, in such countries that are the subject of such termination, would terminate, (ii) all right, title and interest in and to those
Curis Compounds that are the subject of such termination would revert to Curis with respect to those countries that are also the subject of such termination, and Curis shall pay to Wyeth a royalty in the amount of [**] percent ([**]%) of the net
sales (defined comparably to Net Sales in Section 1.52 above) obtained by Curis, its Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees or commercialization partners of any product containing any such Curis Compound). For the sake of clarity, in the event of a
termination by Curis under Section 10.8.2(b), subject to Section 2.8, Curis shall have no right, title or interest in or to any Wyeth Compound, other than the rights that Curis has with respect thereto by reason of such Wyeth Compound continuing to

respect to activities occurring prior to termination or expiration), 10.9, 12.3, 12.4, 12.5, 12.6, and 12.12 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. 


  

	 	10.12	 	Liabilities. Termination of this Agreement shall not release either Party from any liability which shall have accrued at the time of termination, or preclude either Party
from pursuing all rights at law and in equity with respect to any material breach under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party will be liable for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages incurred by the other Party arising
out of any material breach under this Agreement. 

  

	11.	INDEMNITY; INSURANCE. 

  

	 	11.1	Indemnification by Wyeth. Wyeth will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Curis, its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents
(each, a “Curis Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and cost (collectively, a “Liability”) which the Curis Indemnified Party
may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties resulting from or arising out of (i) any claims of any nature (other than claims by Third Parties relating to patent infringement) arising out of (y) the conduct of the Research Program or use of
Collaboration Technology by, on behalf of or under authority of, Wyeth (other than by Curis) or (z) research, development and/or commercialization of Agreement Compounds or Agreement Products by, on behalf of or under authority of, Wyeth (other than
by Curis) and/or (ii) the material breach of any Wyeth representation or warranty set forth herein, except in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Curis or any Curis Indemnified Party. 


 

	 	11.2	 Indemnification by Curis. Curis will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Wyeth, its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective employees, officers,
directors and agents (each, a “Wyeth Indemnified Party”) from and against and all Liability which the Wyeth Indemnified Party may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties arising out of (i) any claims of any nature (other than
claims by Third Parties relating to patent infringement) arising out of the conduct of the Research Program by, on behalf of, or under the authority of Curis (other than by Wyeth), (ii) the research, development and/or commercialization of any
Reverted Compound by, on behalf of or under authority of, Curis (other than by Wyeth with respect to an Option Product) and/or (iii) the material breach of any Curis

 CONFIDENTIAL 
  


	 	 
representation or warranty set forth herein, except in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Wyeth or any Wyeth
Indemnified Party. 


  

	 	11.3	Procedure. Each Party will notify the other in the event it becomes aware of a claim for which indemnification may be sought hereunder. In case any proceeding (including any
governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Article 11, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying
Party”) in writing within twenty (20) days after such a claim of action, proceeding or lawsuit has been filed, initiated or served and the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall meet to discuss how to respond to any claims that are the
subject matter of such proceeding. The Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and shall pay the fees and expenses of such
counsel related to such proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such matter. In any such proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. All such fees
and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party,
effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is, or arising out of the same set of facts could have been, a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the Indemnified Party,
unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. 

  

	 	11.4	 Insurance. Each Party further agrees to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain and maintain, during the term of this Agreement, Commercial General
Liability Insurance, including Products Liability Insurance, with reputable and financially secure insurance carriers to cover its indemnification obligations under Sections 11.1 or 11.2, as applicable, or self-insurance, with limits of not less
than 



  

 69 









 CONFIDENTIAL 
  


	 	 
five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate. Insurance (other than self-insurance) shall be secured with carriers having an A.M.
Best Rating of A-VII or better. Neither Party’s policy shall be canceled, changed or subject to non-renewal without the other Party receiving thirty (30) days prior written notice. 


  

	12.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

  

	 	12.1	Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party without the written consent of the other Party; provided, that, after the Research
Term, either Wyeth or Curis may, without such consent, assign this Agreement in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its assets and business, if such assets include all of the assets and employees relating to its
performance of its respective obligations hereunder, or in the event of its merger or consolidation with another company at any time during the term of this Agreement; provided further, however, that Wyeth may assign this Agreement to an
Affiliate without Curis’ consent. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Any permitted assignee shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. No assignment shall relieve either Party
of responsibility for the performance of any accrued obligation that such Party then has hereunder. 

  

	 	12.2	Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in
fulfilling or performing any of its obligations under this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party or from fire, floods, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be
declared or not), terrorist actions, insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority or the other Party; provided, that the
affected Party uses reasonable efforts to prevent and mitigate the effect of any such cause.

period. It is hereby agreed that the running of any applicable statute of limitation shall be tolled until the executive mediation set forth in Section

	 	12.5.3	Jurisdiction. Any suit filed under this Section 12.5.3 shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Parties
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. 

  

	 	12.5.4	Provisional Remedies. The procedures specified in this Section 12.5 shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes between the parties arising out
of or relating to this Agreement; provided, that a Party, without prejudice to the above procedures, may seek injunctive relief or other provisional judicial relief if in its sole judgment such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage.
Despite such action the parties will continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified in this Section 12.5. 

  

	 	12.6	No Consequential Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER CURIS OR WYETH OR THEIR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (including lost
revenues or profits), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS LIMITATION SHALL NOT LIMIT THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION OF SUCH PARTY UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 11 FOR SUCH DAMAGES CLAIMED
BY A THIRD PARTY. 

  

	 	12.7	Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits attached hereto, contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. All
express or implied agreements and understandings, either oral or written, heretofore made are expressly superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, or any term hereof modified, only by a written instrument duly executed by both
Parties hereto.

 CONFIDENTIAL 
  


	 	 
rules, regulations, treaty or decision of any government agency or executive body thereof of any country or community or association of countries; that if
any word, sentence, paragraph, clause or combination thereof of this Agreement is found, by a court or executive body with judicial powers having jurisdiction over this Agreement or any of the Parties hereto, in a final unappealed order, to be in
violation of any such provisions in any country or community or association of countries, such words, sentences, paragraphs, clauses or combination shall be inoperative in such country or community or association of countries and the remainder of
this Agreement shall remain binding upon the Parties hereto. 


  

	 	12.10	 	Independent Contractors. It is expressly agreed that Curis and Wyeth shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a
partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither Curis nor Wyeth shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other, without the prior written
authorization of the Party to do so. 

  

	 	12.11	 	Waiver. The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right
hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. 

  

	 	12.12	 	Interpretation. All references in this Agreement to an Article, Section or Exhibit shall refer to an Article, Section or Exhibit in or to this Agreement, unless otherwise

Each of the Parties hereby guarantees that the activities of its Affiliates under this Agreement shall comply with this Agreement, remains primarily liable under this Agreement for all of its obligations hereunder notwithstanding any assignment to
an Affiliate or performance or attempted performance of the Party’s obligations by an Affiliate, and agrees that in the event of alleged breach of this Agreement by

any Affiliate(s), the matter shall be submitted to a single dispute resolution proceeding under Section 12.5 involving the Parties and all Affiliates
appropriate to the matter. 


  

	 	12.14	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
