 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS 
 For the purpose of
this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings. 
 “Acquiring Entity” means a Person that
(a) (i) acquires control (as defined in the definition of Affiliate under the SDA), after the Effective Time, of Aptevo or an Aptevo Affiliate or any member of the Aptevo Group to which rights or interests under this Agreement or with

components, such as clotting factors, and (b) the making, having made or manufacturing of any Product. For clarity, 

  
 1 








 
Competing Program excludes (y) the research, development, making, having made, manufacturing, using, selling, offering for sale, importing or otherwise exploiting of any recombinant protein
product that is not a hyperimmune product and (z) the research, development, using, selling, offering for sale, importing or otherwise exploiting (but not making, having made or manufacturing) of any Product. 

“Field” means, with respect to the WinRho SDF® product, the
therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic use of such Product in the Rh0(D) indication; with respect to the HepaGam B® product, the therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic use of such Product
in the Hepatitis B indication; and with respect to the VARIZIG® product, the therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic use of such Product in the Varicella-zoster hyperimmune immunoglobulins
indication. 
 “Licensable” means that, as of immediately after the Effective Time, Emergent or the relevant member of the
Emergent Group, as applicable, has the right to grant to Aptevo a license or other rights within the scope of the rights granted to Aptevo under this Agreement.

“Manufacturing Technology” means the Licensed IP that is necessary to manufacture any of the Products. 

“Product” means each of (a) the WinRho SDF® product,
(b) the HepaGam B® product and (c) the VARIZIG® product, each in the form in which it exists as of the Effective Time or such
improved version thereof developed under the MSA on or before the date on which the Aptevo is permitted to sublicense rights under the Manufacturing Technology to the relevant CMO pursuant to Section 2.1(b). 

“Third Party” means any Person, other than Emergent or Aptevo or any member of the Emergent Group or the Aptevo Group. 

ARTICLE II 
 LICENSES 

2.1 License to Aptevo. 

(a) Licensed IP. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Emergent hereby grants to Aptevo, effective at the
Effective Time, a perpetual (subject to Article IV), royalty-free, worldwide, non-transferable (except for certain assignments as provided in Section 6.3) license, under the Licensed IP, to research, develop, make, have made, use,
sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise commercialize the Products, solely within the Field (and, for clarity, Aptevo will have no rights under the Licensed IP for any other purpose). 

  
 2 








 (b) Sublicenses; Limitations. Aptevo may sublicense such rights to members of the
Aptevo Group and to Third Parties and may have such rights exercised on behalf of Aptevo, members of the Aptevo Group and Third Parties; provided, however, that Aptevo may sublicense the rights under the Manufacturing Technology only to, and may
exercise (and the other members of the Aptevo Group may only exercise) the rights to make and have made the Products only through, a Third Party contract manufacturer who is bound by confidentiality obligations reasonably acceptable to Emergent (a
“CMO”), and then only to the extent that (i) Emergent approves of such CMO in Emergent’s sole and absolute discretion or (ii) there is a Manufacturing Failure.  

(c) Necessity; Trade Secrets; Confidentiality. Aptevo acknowledges and agrees that the Licensed IP is Emergent’s valuable
Intellectual Property, necessary for and critical to research, develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise commercialize the Products and that without such license, Aptevo would be unable to research, develop, make, have
made, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise commercialize the Products without misappropriating, misusing or otherwise violating Emergent’s rights in Emergent’s Intellectual Property. Aptevo further acknowledges and agrees that
the Manufacturing Technology is the proprietary, confidential know-how of Emergent of which some portions are further protected as trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Economic Espionage Act of 1996, 18 U.S.C. § 1839 or other
applicable Law). Aptevo shall consider the Manufacturing Technology and all trade secrets within the Manufacturing Technology as Confidential Information under the SDA, shall strictly adhere to its confidentiality obligations under this Agreement,
the SDA, and all Ancillary Agreements with respect to such Information, and hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at Law for any breach of this Section 2.1(c) would be inadequate and that Emergent shall be entitled to injunctive
relief, without the requirement of posting any bond or other security, in addition to any other remedy it may have upon breach of any provision of this Section 2.1(c), provided that Emergent shall not seek an injunction preventing
the delivery of the Products into the stream of commerce unless such Products contain or otherwise transmit (in their packaging, labeling, or otherwise) the Manufacturing Technology or any other Confidential Information of Emergent. 

2.2 Licenses to Emergent 

(a) License Back of Intellectual Property. Aptevo, on behalf of itself and the Aptevo Group, hereby grants to Emergent and the
Emergent Group a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, fully sublicensable, fully transferrable (in accordance with Section 6.3) license under all Aptevo Intellectual Property as of the Effective
Time, solely to the extent necessary to research, develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import or otherwise commercialize any hyperimmune product, with the exception that such license will not include any Aptevo Intellectual Property
specifically related to producing a ß-amyloid disorders hyperimmune product. For clarity, Emergent and the Emergent Group will have no rights under the Aptevo Intellectual Property for any other purpose. This license grant to Emergent and the
Emergent Group shall not include any Aptevo Intellectual Property (i) the licensing of which to Emergent and the Emergent Group would result in the breach or violation of any obligation of Aptevo or any member of the Aptevo Group to any Third
Party, as of the Effective Time, or (ii) the licensing of which to Emergent and the Emergent Group would result in any financial obligation or other obligation of Aptevo or any other member of the Aptevo Group to any Third Party, as of the
Effective Time.

 (b) Aptevo Grant of Data License. Aptevo, on behalf of itself and the Aptevo Group,
hereby grants to Emergent and the Emergent Group a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, fully sublicensable, fully transferrable license to reproduce, copy, make derivative works of, use and otherwise
exploit any and all clinical and pre-clinical data and any data filed with any regulatory authority, in each case that is related to any of the Products, including the safety database related thereto, that are owned or controlled by Aptevo or the
Aptevo Group as of the Effective Time or are otherwise considered Aptevo Assets, including any copy thereof in the possession of Emergent or any member of the Emergent Group as of immediately before the Effective Time. For clarity, such right to
exploit data related to the Products includes, but is not limited to, a right of reference and foreign counterparts thereof in correspondence and filings with applicable regulatory authorities from time to time. Aptevo and the members of the Aptevo
Group shall execute all documents reasonably necessary to effect such right of reference or use. On request from time to time, Aptevo shall, and shall ensure that the all applicable members of the Aptevo Group shall, provide to Emergent all such
data.  
 2.3 No Other Licenses and Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Section 2, no other license or
right is granted to any member of the Aptevo Group under this Agreement, whether expressly or by implication, estoppel, statute or otherwise. Neither Aptevo, nor any member of the Aptevo Group, shall have any right to file, prosecute, maintain,
enforce or defend any Intellectual Property rights or registrations thereof for any of the Licensed IP. 
 2.4 No Obligation to Obtain or
Maintain Intellectual Property. Neither Emergent, nor any member of the Emergent Group, is obligated to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce or defend any Intellectual Property rights or registrations thereof for any of the Licensed IP,
provided that during the term of this Agreement, Emergent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the secrecy of its trade secrets within the Manufacturing Technology. Neither Aptevo, nor any member of the Aptevo Group,
is obligated to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce or defend any Intellectual Property rights or registrations thereof for any Intellectual Property licensed to Emergent under Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE III
