    ARTICLE 1.

    RESEARCH COLLABORATION

     

    	1.1	
            Collaboration Overview.  The intent of the Collaboration is: (i) for the Parties to conduct a Drug Discovery Program,
                including formulation activities, for each of the Collaboration Targets and to share their respective expertise to advance the goals set out in the Drug Discovery Plan for each such Drug Discovery Program; (ii) for Isis to generate at least
                one Development Candidate under each Drug Discovery Program; (iii) for JBI to have an Option to obtain an exclusive license to Develop and Commercialize Products under each Drug Discovery Program in the Field; and (iv) if JBI exercises the
                Option for a Drug Discovery Program, the Parties will advance the Development Candidate through IND-Enabling Toxicology Studies, and thereafter JBI will continue to Develop and Commercialize the applicable Development Candidate.  The
                purpose of this Section 1.1 is to provide a high-level overview of the roles, responsibilities, rights and obligations of each Party under this Agreement, and therefore this Section 1.1 is qualified in its entirety by the
                more detailed provisions of this Agreement set forth below.

          	1.2.1	
            Maximum Number; Initial Collaboration Target.  The maximum number of Collaboration Targets will be three, subject to Section


                  1.2.2.  The Parties agree that the first Collaboration Target is [***].  JBI will designate the second Collaboration Target within [***] of the Effective Date, and designate the third Collaboration Target within [***] of the Effective
                Date (each, a “Target Nomination Period”), in each case in accordance with the mechanism set forth in Section 1.2.3 below.

          


     

    	

          	1.2.2	
            Optional Fourth Collaboration Target.  JBI will have the right, exercisable within [***] after the Effective Date, to
                designate a fourth Collaboration Target (i.e., to increase the maximum number of Collaboration Targets by one) in accordance with the mechanism set forth in Section 1.2.3 below upon delivery
                of written notice thereof to Isis and payment to Isis of the $[***] fee pursuant to Section 6.2, provided if JBI exercises such right, JBI must (i) designate such fourth Collaboration Target
                within [***] after the Effective Date and (ii) JBI may extend the Drug Discovery Term, if necessary, for the time required to  execute under a corresponding Drug Discovery Plan for such fourth Collaboration Target under Section 1.5.2. 


                Any [***] shall only become due if the [***], and any [***] shall be [***], and such [***] within [***] days of [***] following the date such Drug Discovery Plan is approved.

          


     

    	

          	1.2.3	
            Collaboration Target Designation Mechanism.  At any time during the applicable Target Nomination Period, JBI may
                propose a gene target implicated in Autoimmune Disease of the gastro-intestinal tract for designation as a Collaboration Target by providing written notice of such gene target to Isis.  Isis may reject a gene target proposed by JBI if, at
                the time of such proposal: (i) Isis believes in good faith that [***] for such target; (ii) Isis does not have the [***]; (iii) granting a license to such target would [***] to a Third Party and JBI does not [***]; (iv) [***]; (v) the
                proposed target is the subject of ***] for which Isis in good faith expects to [***] (although Isis will negotiate in good faith terms for JBI to gain access such a program); or (vi) the target is associated with [***] (each of (i) through
                (vi), a “Dispositive Rejection Condition”).  If a Dispositive Rejection Condition for the gene target proposed by JBI for designation as a Collaboration Target exists, Isis may
                reject the proposed gene target by providing a written notice to JBI by the [***] day following Isis’ receipt of JBI’s request to designate such gene target as a Collaboration Target, in which event JBI may propose a different gene target
                for designation as a Collaboration Target using the process described above in this Section 1.2.3.

          


     

    	

          	1.2.4	
            Collaboration Target Designation.  A gene target proposed by JBI for designation as a Collaboration Target in
                accordance with Section 1.2.3 above will become a “Collaboration Target” if (i) Isis provides JBI a written notice accepting such gene target as a Collaboration Target or (ii) by the [***] day following Isis’ receipt of JBI’s
                request to designate such gene target as a Collaboration Target, Isis has not delivered a written notice to JBI rejecting such gene target based on a Dispositive Rejection Condition.

            Substitution of Gene Targets.  At any time prior to
                completion of [***] activities for a Collaboration Target, JBI may propose, in writing, a substitute gene target to replace such Collaboration Target subject to the following conditions:

          


     

    	

          	i)	
            JBI may propose up to [***] ([***]) substitute gene targets, unless JBI designates a Fourth Collaboration Target whereby, in which case JBI may then propose up to [***] ([***]) substitute gene targets;

          


     

    	

          	ii)	
            JBI shall pay the Substitution Fee for each proposed substitute gene target within [***] ([***]) days of the date the substitute gene target becomes a Collaboration Target under Section 1.2.4; and

          


     

    	

          	iii)	
            The designation mechanism of Section 1.2.3 shall apply for proposed substitute gene targets.

          


     

    Any gene target substituted out under this Section 1.2.5 will no longer be a Collaboration Target.

            Drug Discovery Term.  The term for the conduct of the Drug Discovery Programs will begin on the Effective Date and,
                subject to extension in accordance with Section 1.5.2 and/or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE 10 hereof, will end upon the earlier of (i) such time as the Options with respect to all Drug Discovery
                Programs either have been exercised by JBI or have expired unexercised, and (ii) the [***] anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Drug Discovery Term”), provided however, that if Isis has delivered a Development Candidate Data Package to JBI for a Drug Discovery Program prior to the [***] anniversary of the Effective Date but the
                Option Period for such Drug Discovery Program has not expired as of the [***] anniversary of the Effective Date, the Drug Discovery Term will extend for that Drug Discovery Program only, until the earlier of (a) JBI’s exercise of such
                Option and (b) expiration of such Option Period.  Such extension shall not be subject to the extension fee as defined in Section 1.5.2 below.

                to exceed [***]), in each case by delivering a written notice of extension to Isis and paying Isis an extension payment of $[***] per extension no later than [***] days prior to the end of the then-applicable Drug Discovery Term.

          


     

    	

          	1.5.3	
            Consequences of End of Drug Discovery Term.  From and after the end of the Drug Discovery Term (including any
                extensions thereof), (i) Isis will have no obligation to perform any further activities for any Drug Discovery Program; (ii) any Drug Discovery Programs that have not reached the Development Candidate stage will no longer be Drug Discovery
                Programs and the applicable gene targets associated therewith will no longer be Collaboration Targets; (iii) Isis’ obligations and JBI’s rights under this Agreement with respect to such gene target and any ASOs targeting such gene target
                will then terminate, and Isis will be free to Develop and Commercialize on its own or with a Third Party such gene target and any Compounds targeting such gene target; and (iv) Isis will own any data generated under the Drug Discovery

            Carryover Development Candidates.  If, despite Isis’ Commercially Reasonable Efforts, by the end of the Drug
                Discovery Term, Isis has not designated a Development Candidate for a particular Drug Discovery Program, then if at any time during the [***] following the end of the Drug Discovery Term Isis’ RMC designates an ASO discovered by Isis that
                is designed to bind to the RNA that encodes the Collaboration Target that was the subject of such Drug Discovery Program as a development candidate ready to start IND-Enabling Toxicology Studies (such ASO, a “Carryover Development Candidate”), then, Isis will notify JBI and will provide JBI with the data package presented to Isis’ RMC to approve such Carryover Development Candidate. JBI will then have [***] days
                from its receipt of such package to elect to enter into an agreement (or amendment to this Agreement) for an option and license under the same terms as set forth in this Agreement, including the payment of the fee for [***] if not already
                paid by JBI (except that no additional option fee under Section 6.1 will be due). If, within [***] days after JBI’s receipt of such notice from Isis, JBI provides Isis with written notice that it accepts such offer from Isis for
                such Carryover Development Candidate, the Parties will execute an agreement (or amendment to this Agreement) regarding such Carryover Development Candidate containing the same terms as those described herein.  If JBI either notifies Isis
                that it declines the offer for such Carryover Development Candidate, or JBI does not provide Isis with written notice during such [***]-day period that JBI accepts such offer from Isis for such Carryover Development Candidate, then Isis
                will be free to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize such Carryover Development Candidate (and/or any other ASO designed to bind to the RNA that encodes the gene target targeted by such Carryover Development Candidate) by itself
                or with or for a Third Party.

              achievement of such Milestone Event, and such payment will be due within [***] of the date such notice was delivered.

                JBI may reduce the royalty payments for sales in such country described in Table 4 by [***] percent ([***]%), or (ii) subsequently the sales of the Product have declined by [***] percent ([***]%) or more as compared to the [***] Calendar
                Quarters [***] prior to such Generic Product entry, then no further royalty payments shall be due to Isis for such Product in such country; provided, if JBI reduced or ceased paying the royalty payments under this Section, and

                of the FTE cost incurred by Isis in performing the services and the amount of Out-of Pocket Expenses incurred and charged by Isis. Before Isis commences work, JBI and Isis will agree to a budget for the work JBI requests Isis to perform

            Commencement.  Beginning with the Calendar Quarter in which the First Commercial Sale for a Product is made and for
                each Calendar Quarter thereafter, JBI will make royalty payments to Isis under this Agreement within [***] days following the end of each such Calendar Quarter.  Each royalty payment will be accompanied by a report showing on a Product-by
                Product and country-by-country basis the gross sales, the Net Sales, and a calculation of the amount of royalty due on such Net Sales. This report shall also include the exchange rates and other methodology used in converting Net Sales into
                US dollars from the currencies in which sales were made in order to determine the appropriate royalty tier and royalty.  If no royalties are payable in respect of a given Calendar Quarter, JBI will submit a written royalty report to
                Isis so indicating together with an explanation as to why no such royalties are payable.  In addition, on a Product-by-Product basis, beginning with the Calendar Quarter in which the First Commercial Sale for such Product is made and for
                each Calendar Quarter thereafter for the next [***] ([***]) years, JBI will (based on information JBI collects, and in a format JBI uses for its own internal planning and reporting purposes) provide Isis a preliminary non-binding report
                estimating the total Net Sales of, and royalties payable to Isis for Products projected for such Calendar Quarter.  JBI will endeavor to provide such preliminary non-binding report within [***] Business Days following the end of each such
                Calendar Quarter; provided JBI will provide such preliminary non-binding report no later than [***] Business Days following the end of each such Calendar Quarter.

                country(ies) in which sales are made, (ii) made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Isis in writing, and (iii) non-creditable, irrevocable and non-refundable.  With respect to sales of Product
                invoiced in a currency other than USD, such amounts and the amounts payable hereunder shall be expressed in their USD equivalent calculated as follows: For the upcoming Calendar Year, JBI shall provide: 1) a Currency Hedge Rate(s) to be
                used for the local currency of each country of the Territory and 2) the details of such Currency Hedge Rate(s) in writing to Isis not later than [***] business days after the Currency Hedge Rate(s) are available from the GTSC or its
                Affiliates, which is customarily at the end of October.  Such Currency Hedge Rate(s) will remain constant throughout the upcoming calendar year.  JBI shall use the Currency Hedge Rate(s) to convert Net Sales to USD for the purpose of

            Audits.  After Option exercise, during the Agreement Term and for a period of [***] Calendar Years thereafter, at the
                written request and expense of Isis, JBI will permit an independent certified public accountant of nationally recognized standing appointed by Isis and reasonably acceptable to JBI, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, but in no
                case more than [***], to examine such records at the location where such records are maintained as may be necessary for the sole purpose of verifying the calculation and reporting of milestones and Net Sales, and the correctness of any
                milestone and royalty payments made under this Agreement for any period within the preceding [***] Calendar Years.  As a condition to examining any records of JBI, such auditor will sign a nondisclosure agreement reasonably acceptable to
                JBI in form and substance.  Any and all records of JBI examined by such independent certified public accountant will be deemed JBI’s Confidential Information.  The report of the independent public accountant shall be shared with JBI prior
                to distribution to Isis such that JBI can provide the independent public accountant with justifying remarks for inclusion in the report prior to sharing the conclusions of such independent public audit with Isis.  Upon completion of the
                audit, the accounting firm will provide both JBI and Isis with a written report disclosing whether the royalty payments made by JBI are correct or incorrect, whether any milestone payment that became due during the audited period was timely
                reported and paid, and the specific details concerning any discrepancies (“Audit Report”).  If, as a result of any inspection of the books and records of JBI, it is shown that
                JBI’s royalty payments under this Agreement were less than the royalty amount which should have been paid, and/or that any milestone payment was not paid when due or at all, then JBI will make all payments required to be made by paying Isis
                the difference between such amounts to eliminate any discrepancy revealed by said inspection within [***] days of receiving the Audit Report, with interest calculated in accordance with Section 6.14.  If, as a result of any
                inspection of the books and records of JBI, it is shown that JBI’s payments under this Agreement were greater than the royalty amount which should have been paid, then JBI will receive a credit against future royalty payments due under Section


                  6.8 equal to the difference between the amounts paid by JBI and the royalty amounts which should have been paid.  Isis will pay for such audit, except that if JBI is found to have underpaid Isis by more than [***]% of the amount that
                should have been paid, and/or not to have paid any milestone that should have been paid, JBI will reimburse Isis’ reasonable costs of the audit.

              be withheld will be an expense of and borne by Isis. If any such Tax is assessed against and paid by JBI, then Isis will indemnify and hold harmless JBI from and against such Tax unless the assessment and payment of such Tax is a result of
              acts or omissions by JBI.

          	(a)	
            The Parties will establish a “Joint Patent Committee” or “JPC.”  The JPC will serve as the primary contact and forum
              for discussion between the Parties with respect to intellectual property matters arising under this Agreement, and will cooperate with respect to the activities set forth in this 7.1.3.  Isis’ obligation to participate in the JPC will
              terminate upon the end of the Drug Discovery Term.  Thereafter, Isis will have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in JPC meetings.  If the JPC dissolves, each Party will designate a patent attorney who will be responsible for
              intellectual property matters under this Agreement.  A strategy will be discussed with regard to (i) prosecution and maintenance, defense and enforcement of Isis Product-Specific Patents that would be or are licensed to JBI under Section
                4.1.1 in connection with a Product and JBI Product-Specific Patents, (ii) defense against allegations of infringement of Third Party Patent Rights, (iii) licenses to Third Party Patent Rights or Know-How, and (iv) the timing and subject
              matter of any potential publications regarding a Drug Discovery Program, in each case to the extent such matter would be reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Agreement or the licenses granted hereunder, which strategy will be
              considered in good faith by the Party entitled to prosecute, enforce and defend such Patent Rights, as applicable, hereunder, but will not be binding on such Party.

          


     

    	

          	(b)	
            In addition, the Joint Patent Committee will be responsible for the determination of inventorship of Program Patents in accordance with United States patent laws.  In case of a dispute in the Joint Patent Committee (or otherwise between
              Isis and JBI) over inventorship of Program Patents, if the Joint Patent Committee cannot resolve such dispute, even after seeking the JRC’s input, such dispute will be resolved by independent patent counsel not engaged or regularly employed
              in the past two years by either Party and reasonably acceptable to both Parties.  The decision of such independent patent counsel will be binding on the Parties.  Expenses of such patent counsel will be shared equally by the Parties.

              JPC will determine the JPC operating procedures at its first meeting, including the JPC’s policies for replacement of JPC members, and the location of meetings, which will be codified in the written minutes of the first JPC meeting.  To the
              extent reasonably requested by either Party, the Joint Patent Committee will solicit the involvement of more senior members of their respective legal departments (up to the most senior intellectual property attorney, where appropriate) with
              respect to critical issues, and may escalate issues to the Executives for input and resolution pursuant to Section 12.1.  Each Party’s representatives on the Joint Patent Committee will consider comments and suggestions made by the
              other in good faith.  If either Party deems it reasonably advisable, the Parties will enter into a mutually agreeable common interest agreement covering the matters contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall bear their own cost of

            Each Party will keep the other Party informed through the Joint Patent Committee as to material developments with respect to the Prosecution and Maintenance of the Product-Specific Patents or Jointly-Owned Program Patents for which such
              Party has responsibility for Prosecution and Maintenance pursuant to Section 7.2.2, Section 7.2.3 or this Section 7.2.4, including by providing copies of material data as it arises, any office actions or office action
              responses or other correspondence that such Party provides to or receives from any patent office, including notice of all interferences, reissues, re-examinations, oppositions or requests for patent term extensions, and all patent-related

              patent term extensions, adjustments, and restorations) or maintenance of any JBI-Prosecuted Patent in a particular country, or (c) not to file and prosecute patent applications for the JBI-Prosecuted Patent in a particular country following a
              written request from Isis to file and prosecute in such country, then JBI will so notify Isis promptly in writing of its intention (including a reasonably detailed rationale for doing so) in good time to enable Isis to meet any deadlines by
              which an action must be taken to establish or preserve any such Patent Right in such country; and Isis will have the right, but not the obligation, to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce, or otherwise pursue such JBI-Prosecuted Patent in the
              applicable country at its own expense with counsel of its own choice.  In such case, JBI will cooperate with Isis to file for, or continue to Prosecute and Maintain or enforce, or otherwise pursue such JBI-Prosecuted Patent in such country in
              Isis’ own name, but only to the extent that JBI is not required to take any position with respect to such abandoned JBI-Prosecuted Patent that would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the scope, validity or enforceability of any of the
              other Patent Rights being prosecuted and maintained by JBI under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Isis assumes responsibility for the Prosecution and Maintenance of any such JBI-Prosecuted Patent
              under this Section 7.2.4(b), Isis will have no obligation to notify JBI if Isis intends to abandon such JBI-Prosecuted Patent.

              Deadline has not passed, Isis will notify JBI of such intention at least 60 days before such Patent Right will become abandoned, and JBI will have the right, but not the obligation, to assume responsibility for the Prosecution and Maintenance
              thereof at its own expense (subject to Section 7.3.1) with counsel of its own choice.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if JBI assumes responsibility for the Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Isis

              obligation, to defend against any such Proceeding initiated prior to Option exercise at its sole cost and expense and (b) JBI will have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend against any such Proceeding initiated after Option
              exercise at its sole cost and expense.  If the Party having the first right to defend against such Proceeding (the “Lead Party”) elects to defend against such Proceeding, then the
              Lead Party will have the sole right to direct the defense and to elect whether to settle such claim (but only with the prior written consent of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  The other Party will
              reasonably assist the Lead Party in defending such Proceeding and cooperate in any such litigation at the request and expense of the Lead Party.  The Lead Party will provide the other Party with prompt written notice of the commencement of
              any such Proceeding that is of the type described in this Section 7.4, and the Lead Party will keep the other Party apprised of the progress of such Proceeding. If the Lead Party elects not to defend against a Proceeding, then the
              Lead Party will so notify the other Party in writing within 60 days after the Lead Party first receives written notice of the initiation of such Proceeding, and the other Party (the “Step-In

            Prior to Option Exercise.  For any Competitive Infringement with respect to a Product occurring after the Effective
                Date but before Option exercise, Isis will have the first right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, and control a Proceeding with respect thereto, by counsel of its own choice, and JBI will have the right to be represented in
                that action by counsel of its own choice at its own expense, however, Isis will have the sole right to control such litigation.  Isis will provide JBI with prompt written notice of the commencement
                of any such Proceeding, and Isis will keep JBI apprised of the progress of such Proceeding.  If Isis fails to initiate a Proceeding within a period of 90 days after receipt of written notice of such Competitive Infringement (subject to a 90
                day extension to conclude negotiations, which extension will apply only in the event that Isis has commenced good faith negotiations with an alleged infringer for elimination of such Competitive Infringement within such 90 day period), JBI
                will have the right to initiate and control a Proceeding with respect to such Competitive Infringement by counsel of its own choice; provided that Isis will have the right to be represented in any
                such action by counsel of its own choice at its own expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Isis will at all times have the sole right to institute, prosecute, and control any Proceeding under this Section 7.5.2 to the extent
                involving any the Isis Core Technology Patents, Isis Manufacturing and Analytical Patents, or Isis Formulation Patents.

            Following Option Exercise.  For any Competitive Infringement with respect to a particular Product (except for a
                Discontinued Product) occurring after Option exercise, so long as part of such Proceeding JBI also enforces any Patent Rights Controlled by JBI being infringed that Cover the Product, then JBI will have the first right, but not the
                obligation, to institute, prosecute, and control a Proceeding to enforce the Isis Product Specific Patents with respect thereto by counsel of its own choice at its own expense, and Isis will have the right, at its own expense, to be
                represented in that action by counsel of its own choice, however, JBI will have the right to control such litigation.  If JBI fails to initiate a Proceeding within a period of 90 days after receipt
                of written notice of such Competitive Infringement (subject to a 90-day extension to conclude negotiations, if JBI has commenced good faith negotiations with an alleged infringer for elimination of such Competitive Infringement within such
                90 day period), Isis will have the right to initiate and control a Proceeding with respect to such Competitive Infringement by counsel of its own choice, and JBI will have the right to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own
                choice at its own expense.  Isis will at all times have the sole right to institute, prosecute, and control any Proceeding under this Section 7.5.3 to the extent involving any Isis Core Technology Patents, Isis Manufacturing and
                Analytical Patents, or Isis Formulation Patents.

    except, in each case above, to the extent such Claim arose out of or resulted from or is attributable to any acts or omissions of JBI or its Affiliates, licensees, Sublicensees or contractors and its
      or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents or other circumstance, in each case for which JBI has an indemnity obligation pursuant to Section 9.1.

            Procedure.  If a Person entitled to indemnification under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 (an “Indemnitee”) seeks such indemnification, such Indemnitee will (i) inform the indemnifying Party in writing of a Claim as soon as reasonably practicable after such Indemnitee receives
                notice of such Claim, (ii) permit the indemnifying Party to assume direction and control of the defense of the Claim (including the sole right to settle such Claim at the sole discretion of the indemnifying Party, provided that (A) such settlement or compromise does not admit any fault or negligence on the part of the Indemnitee, or impose any obligation on, or otherwise materially adversely affect, the Indemnitee or other Party and
                (B) the indemnifying Party first obtain the written consent of the Indemnitee with respect to such settlement, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) cooperate as reasonably requested (at the expense of the indemnifying
                Party) in the defense of the Claim, and (iv) undertake reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses with respect to the Claim.  The provisions of Section 7.4 will govern the procedures for responding to a Claim of infringement described
                therein.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnifying Party will have no liability under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as the case may be, for Claims settled or compromised by the Indemnitee
                without the indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

                self-insures for its other products, but at a minimum will self-insure at levels that are consistent with levels customarily maintained against similar risks by similar companies in JBI’s industry.

            Agreement Term; Expiration.  This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated
                pursuant to the other provisions of this ARTICLE 10, will continue in full force and effect until the expiration of all payment obligations under this Agreement with respect to all Products in all countries; provided, however, that if every Option either (a) has expired as a result of JBI not providing Isis a written notice stating JBI is exercising such Option and paying Isis the applicable license fee
                under Section 6.4 by the applicable Option Deadline, or (b) has been terminated prior to Option exercise pursuant to Section 10.2.1 or 10.2.2, then this Agreement will expire on the expiration or termination, as

          	(a)	
            JBI’s Right to Terminate.  If JBI believes that Isis is in material breach of this Agreement (other than with respect
                to a failure to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts under Section 1.2.5, which is governed by Section 10.2.3 below), then JBI may deliver notice of such material breach to Isis.  If the breach is curable, Isis will have 60
                days to cure such breach.  If Isis fails to cure such breach within the 60 day period, or if the breach is not subject to cure, JBI may terminate this Agreement as a whole, or terminate this Agreement in part with respect to the particular
                Program affected by such breach, and the applicable Collaboration Target, by providing written notice to Isis.  Without limiting the foregoing, breach by a Party of ARTICLE 2 of this Agreement constitutes a material breach of this
                Agreement with respect to the Program affected by such breach and the applicable Collaboration Target.

          


     

    	

          	(b)

                to a failure to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts under Section 1.2.5, Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, which is governed by Section 10.2.3 below), then Isis may deliver notice of such material breach to JBI. 
                If the breach is curable, JBI will have 60 days to cure such breach (except to the extent such breach involves the failure to make a payment when due, which breach must be cured within 30 days following such notice).  If JBI fails to cure
                such breach within the 60 day or 30 day period, as applicable, or if the breach is not subject to cure, Isis in its sole discretion may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Drug Discovery Program(s) and the applicable Collaboration
                Target(s) affected by such breach by providing written notice thereof to JBI.  To the extent such material breach is uncured for one Drug Discovery Program, the remaining active Drug Discovery Programs for which there is no uncured material
                breach shall remain in effect.

          	(a)	
            If Isis, in JBI’s reasonable determination, fails to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in the activities contemplated in Section 1.2.5 prior to Option exercise with respect to a particular Drug Discovery Program or with respect
              to other agreed-upon activities to be performed by Isis associated with the research, Development, or Commercialization of a Product, under this Agreement, JBI will notify Isis and, within 30 days thereafter, Isis and JBI will meet and confer
              to discuss and resolve the matter in good faith, and attempt to devise a mutually agreeable plan to address any outstanding issues related to Isis’ use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts in Section 1.2.5 or for activities otherwise
              agreed upon by Isis under this Agreement.  Following such a meeting, if Isis fails to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts as contemplated by Section 1.2.5 with respect to such Drug Discovery Program, then subject to Section 10.2.4
              below, JBI will have the right to terminate this Agreement as it relates to the applicable  Drug Discovery Program.

              JBI and, within 30 days thereafter, Isis and JBI will meet and confer to discuss and resolve the matter in good faith, and attempt to devise a mutually agreeable plan to address any outstanding issues related to JBI’s use of Commercially
              Reasonable Efforts in Section 1.2.5, Section 5.1 or Section 5.2.  Following such a meeting, if JBI fails to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts with respect to the applicable Product or Drug Discovery Program as
              contemplated by Section 1.2.5, Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, then subject to Section 10.2.4 below, Isis will have the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement as it relates to such Product or

                Non-Breaching Party will not have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.2.2 or Section 10.2.3, as applicable, unless and until it has been determined in accordance with Section 12.1 that

              JBI will assign to Isis any Product-Specific Patent Rights and Isis’ interest in any Jointly-Owned Program Patents that, in each case relate to the applicable Discontinued Product(s) previously assigned by Isis to JBI under this

                date of such reversion to the extent related to such Discontinued Product(s), and any other information or material specified in Section 4.4;

            


       

      	

            	(v)	
              JBI will license to Isis any trademarks that are specific to a Discontinued Product(s) solely for use with such Discontinued Product(s), in accordance with Section 4.1.5, mutatis mutandis;
                provided, however, that in no event will JBI have any obligation to license to Isis any trademarks used by JBI both in connection with the Product and in connection with the sale of any other product
                or service, including any JBI- or JBI-formative marks; and

            


       

      	

            	(vi)	
              Isis will control and be responsible for all aspects of the Prosecution and Maintenance of all Jointly-Owned Program Patents arising from the terminated Pre-Clinical Development Program (or the corresponding Drug Discovery Program), and
                JBI will provide Isis with (and will instruct its counsel to provide Isis with) all of the information and records in JBI’s and its counsel’s possession related to the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Jointly-Owned Program Patents; provided, however, if Isis intends to abandon any such Jointly-Owned Program Patents without first filing a continuation or substitution, then Isis will notify JBI of such intention at least 60 days
                before such Patent Right will become abandoned, and JBI will have the right, but not the obligation, to assume responsibility for the Prosecution and Maintenance thereof at its own expense with counsel of its own choice.

            


       

      	

            	(e)	
              If Isis terminates this Agreement due to JBI’s material breach or JBI terminates this Agreement for convenience, upon Isis’ written request pursuant to a mutually agreed supply agreement, JBI will sell to Isis any bulk API, Clinical
                Supplies and Finished Drug Product in JBI’s possession at the time of such termination, at a price equal to JBI’s cost at the time of manufacture.

                  writing, the Parties agree that, during the Agreement Term and for five years thereafter, the receiving Party (the “Receiving Party”) and its Affiliates will keep confidential
                  and will not publish or otherwise disclose or use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement any confidential or proprietary information or materials, patentable or otherwise, in any form (written, oral, photographic,
                  electronic, magnetic, or otherwise) which is disclosed to it by the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) or its Affiliates or otherwise received or accessed by a Receiving Party
                  in the course of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement, including trade secrets, Know-How, inventions or discoveries, proprietary information, formulae, processes, techniques and information relating to
                  the past, present and future marketing, financial, and research and development activities of any product or potential product or useful technology of the Disclosing Party or its Affiliates and the pricing thereof (collectively, “Confidential Information”).

              Prior Confidentiality Agreement Superseded.  As of the Effective Date, this Agreement supersedes the Confidential
                  Disclosure Agreement executed by Isis and JBI on July 30, 2014 (including any and all amendments thereto).  All information exchanged between the Parties under such Confidential Disclosure Agreement will be deemed Confidential Information

              Authorized Disclosure.  Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, a Receiving Party or its Affiliates

                  confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than those in this Agreement, provided, that Confidential Information may be disclosed by a Receiving Party to a governmental entity or agency
                  without requiring such entity or agency to enter into a confidentiality agreement; (ii) to the extent reasonably necessary to file or prosecute patent, copyright and trademark applications (subject to Section 11.4 below),
                  complying with applicable governmental regulations, obtaining Approvals, conducting Pre-Clinical Studies or Clinical Studies, marketing the Product, or as otherwise required by applicable law, regulation, rule or legal process (including
                  the rules of the SEC and any stock exchange); provided, however, that if a Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates is required by law or regulation to make any such disclosure of a Disclosing
                  Party’s Confidential Information it will, except where impracticable for necessary disclosures, give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure requirement and will use its reasonable efforts to secure
                  confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed; (iii) in communication with actual or potential lenders, investors, merger partners, acquirers, consultants, or professional advisors on a need-to-know
                  basis, in each case under confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than those of this Agreement; (iv) to the extent such disclosure is required to comply with existing expressly stated contractual obligations owed to such Party’s or
                  its Affiliates’ licensor with respect to any intellectual property licensed to the other Party under this Agreement; or (v) as mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties.

              Scientific or Clinical Presentations.  The Parties agree to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to control public
                  scientific disclosures of results of the Development activities under this Agreement to prevent any potential adverse effect of any premature public disclosure of such results.  The Parties will establish a procedure for publication
                  review and each Party will first submit to the other Party through the Joint Patent Committee an early draft of all such publications or presentations, whether they are to be presented orally or in written form, at least 45 days prior to
                  submission for publication including to facilitate the publication of any summaries of Clinical Studies data and results as required on the clinical trial registry of each respective Party.  Each Party will review such proposed
                  publication in order to avoid the unauthorized disclosure of a Party’s Confidential Information and to preserve the patentability of inventions arising from the Drug Discovery Programs.  If, during such 45-day period, the other Party
                  informs such Party that its proposed publication contains Confidential Information of the other Party, then such Party will delete such Confidential Information from its proposed publication.  In addition, if at any time during such
                  45-day period, the other Party informs such Party that its proposed publication discloses inventions made by either Party in the course of the Development under this Agreement that have not yet been protected through the filing of a
                  patent application, or the public disclosure of such proposed publication could be expected to have a material adverse effect on any Patent Rights or Know-How solely owned or Controlled by such other Party, then such Party will either (i)
                  delay such proposed publication for up to 60 days from the date the other Party informed such Party of its objection to the proposed publication, to permit the timely preparation and first filing of patent application(s) on the
                  information involved or (ii) remove the identified disclosures prior to publication.

              Subsequent Disclosure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent information regarding this Agreement or the
                  Product has already been publicly disclosed, either Party (or its Affiliates) may subsequently disclose the same information to the public without the consent of the other Party.

            	(a)	
              If the Parties fail to resolve the Dispute through Escalation, and a Party desires to pursue resolution of the Dispute, the Dispute shall be submitted by either Party for resolution in arbitration pursuant to the then current CPR
                Non-Administered Arbitration Rules (“CPR Rules”) (www.cpradr.org), except where they conflict with these provisions, in which case these provisions control.  The arbitration will be held in Chicago, Illinois. All aspects of the arbitration
                shall be treated as confidential.

            


       

      	

            	(b)	
              The arbitrators will be chosen from the CPR Panel of Distinguished Neutrals, unless a candidate not on such panel is approved by both Parties.  Each arbitrator shall be a lawyer with at least 15 years of experience with a law firm or
                corporate law department of over 25 lawyers or who was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction.  To the extent that the Dispute requires special expertise, the Parties will so inform CPR prior to the beginning of the selection process.

            


       

      	

            	(c)	
              The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators, of whom each Party shall designate one in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in CPR Rule 5.4.  The chair will be chosen in accordance with CPR Rule
                6.4.

            


       

      	

            	(d)	
              If, however, the aggregate award sought by the Parties is less than $5 million and equitable relief is not sought, a single arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the CPR Rules.

            


       

      	

            	(e)	
              Candidates for the arbitrator position(s) may be interviewed by representatives of the Parties in advance of their selection, provided that all Parties are represented.

            


       

      	

            	(f)	
              The Parties agree to select the arbitrator(s) within 45 days of initiation of the arbitration.  The hearing will be concluded within nine (9) months after selection of the arbitrator(s) and the award will be rendered within 60 days of
                the conclusion of the hearing, or of any post hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within 45 days after the conclusion of the hearing.  In the event the Parties cannot agree upon a schedule, then the
                arbitrator(s) shall set the schedule following the time limits set forth above as closely as practical.

                available to each Party.

            


       

      	

            	(h)	
              The arbitrator(s) shall be guided, but not bound, by the CPR Protocol on Disclosure of Documents and Presentation of Witnesses in Commercial Arbitration (www.cpradr.org) (“Protocol”).  The Parties will attempt to agree on modes of
                document disclosure, electronic discovery, witness presentation, etc. within the parameters of the Protocol.  If the Parties cannot agree on discovery and presentation issues, the arbitrator(s) shall decide on presentation modes and provide
                for discovery within the Protocol, understanding that the Parties contemplate reasonable discovery.

            


       

      	

            	(i)	
              The arbitrator(s) shall decide the merits of any Dispute in accordance with the law governing this Agreement, without application of any principle of conflict of laws that would result in reference to a different law.  The arbitrator(s)
                may not apply principles such as “amiable compositeur” or “natural justice and equity.”

              The arbitrator(s) are expressly empowered to decide dispositive motions in advance of any hearing and shall endeavor to decide such motions as would a United States District Court Judge sitting in the jurisdiction whose substantive law
                governs.

            


       

      	

            	(k)	
              The arbitrator(s) shall render a written opinion stating the reasons upon which the award is based.  The Parties consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the district in which the arbitration is held for the
                enforcement of these provisions and the entry of judgment on any award rendered hereunder.  Should such court for any reason lack jurisdiction, any court with jurisdiction may act in the same fashion.

            


       

      	

            	(l)	
              Each Party has the right to seek from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin, etc. to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the
                Dispute.  Rule 14 of the CPR Rules does not apply to this Agreement.

              EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF COURT ACTIONS PERMITTED BY SECTION 12.1.5 AND FOR CLAIMS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.1.4 AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.1.5, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES: (1) ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL
                OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY, (2) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RELIEF MANDATED BY STATUTE, ANY CLAIM TO PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLIED, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR LOST PROFITS/REVENUES DAMAGES, AND (3) ANY CLAIM FOR ATTORNEY FEES, COSTS AND PREJUDGMENT

              Each Party will bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and will pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrator; provided, however, the
                arbitrator will be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for any or all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for
                example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the Administrator and the arbitrator.

              Injunctive Relief; Court Actions.  Notwithstanding anything
                  to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party will be entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy it may have at law or in equity, injunctive or other equitable relief in the event of an
                  actual or threatened breach of this Agreement by the other Party, without the posting of any bond or other security, and such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing discussions between the Parties or any ongoing
                  arbitration proceeding.  The Parties agree that in the event of a threatened or actual material breach of this Agreement injunctive or equitable relief would be appropriate remedy.  In addition, either Party may bring an action in any
                  court of competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes pertaining to the validity, construction, scope, enforceability, infringement or other violations of Patent Rights or other intellectual property rights, and no such claim will be
                  subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 12.1.4.

                  the offsets under Section 6.9.3(c)).  Except for the offsets and credits explicitly set forth in Section 6.12, and Section 6.9.3(b) neither Party will have the right to set off any amount it is owed or believes it
                  is owed against payments due or payable to the other Party under this Agreement.

              Assignment and Successors.  Neither this Agreement nor any obligation of a Party hereunder may be assigned by either
                  Party without the prior written consent of the other, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except that (i) Isis may assign or transfer its rights to receive payments under this Agreement (but no liabilities),
                  without JBI’s consent, to an Affiliate or to a Third Party in connection with a payment factoring transaction, and (ii) each Party may assign this Agreement and the rights, obligations and interests of such Party hereunder, without the
                  other Party’s consent to any Third Party purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets or all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates or to any successor corporation resulting from any merger,
                  consolidation, share exchange or other similar transaction with a Third Party, provided that in the event of any such transaction (whether this Agreement is actually assigned or is assumed by the acquiring Third Party or the successor
                  corporation (as applicable) by operation of law (e.g., in the context of a reverse triangular merger)), intellectual property rights of the acquiring Third Party that existed prior to such
                  transaction shall not be included in the technology licensed hereunder or otherwise subject to this Agreement; provided that if JBI transfers or assigns this Agreement to [***] described in this Agreement, then JBI (or such
                  Affiliate), will [***] due Isis under ARTICLE 6 for the [***] (defined below) such that Isis receives [***].

        to provide the reports, audit rights and other information required under Sections 6.10, 6.11, 6.12 and 6.13.

       

      	12.5	
              Force Majeure.  No Party will be held responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to be in default under, or in
                  breach of any provision of, this Agreement for failure or delay in performing any obligation of this Agreement when such failure or delay is due to force majeure, and without the fault or negligence of the Party so failing or delaying. 
                  For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure means a cause beyond the reasonable control of a Party, which may include acts of God; acts, regulations, or laws of any government; war; terrorism; civil commotion; fire, flood, earthquake,
                  tornado, tsunami, explosion or storm; pandemic; epidemic and failure of public utilities or common carriers.  In such event the Party so failing or delaying will immediately notify the other Party of such inability and of the period for
                  which such inability is expected to continue.  The Party giving such notice will be excused from such of its obligations under this Agreement as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled for up to a maximum
                  of 90 days, after which time the Parties will negotiate in good faith any modifications of the terms of this Agreement that may be necessary to arrive at an equitable solution, unless the Party giving such notice has set out a reasonable
                  timeframe and plan to resolve the effects of such force majeure and executes such plan within such timeframe.  To the extent possible, each Party will use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any force majeure.

                  failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or
                  condition.  No waiver by either Party of any condition or term in any one or more instances will be construed as a continuing waiver or subsequent waiver of such condition or term or of another condition or term.

              Severability.  If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the

                  jurisdiction and will be liberally construed in order to carry out the intentions of the Parties hereto as nearly as may be possible.  Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the validity, legality or
                  enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                  authority to bind or obligate the other Party, and neither Party will represent that it has such authority.

      Appendix 1

       

      DEFINITIONS

       

      For purposes of this Agreement, the following capitalized terms will have the following meanings:

       

      “Acceptance” means, with respect to an NDA, MAA or JNDA filed for a Product, (a) in the United States, the receipt of written notice from the FDA in
        accordance with 21 C.F.R. §314.101(a)(2) that such NDA is officially “filed,” (b) in the European Union, receipt by JBI of written notice of acceptance by the EMA of such MAA for filing under the centralized
        European procedure in accordance with any feedback received from European Regulatory Authorities; provided that if the centralized filing procedure is not used, then Acceptance will be determined upon the
        acceptance of such MAA by the applicable Regulatory Authority in a Major Country in the EU, and (c) in Japan, receipt by JBI of written notice of acceptance of filing of such JNDA from the Koseisho (i.e.,
        the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, or any successor agency thereto).

       

      “Additional Core IP” means Third Party intellectual property that is necessary to [***]; provided Additional
        Core IP does not include any Patent Rights claiming (or intellectual property related to) [***].

       

      “Affiliate” of an entity means any corporation, firm, partnership or other entity which directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls,
        is controlled by or is under common control with a Party to this Agreement.  An entity will be deemed to control another entity if it (i) owns, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities or capital stock (or such
        lesser percentage which is the maximum allowed to be owned by a foreign corporation in a particular jurisdiction) of such other entity, or has other comparable ownership interest with respect to any entity other than a corporation; or (ii) has the
        power, whether pursuant to contract, ownership of securities or otherwise, to direct the management and policies of the entity.  For clarity, Regulus Therapeutics Inc. will not be deemed an “Affiliate” of
        Isis for the purposes of this Agreement under any circumstances.

       

      “Agreement” has the meaning set forth in the Preamble of this Agreement.

      “Alliance Manager” has the meaning set forth in Section 1.6.5.

       

      “Annual” means the period covering a Calendar Year or occurring once per Calendar Year, as the context requires.

      In the event Product(s) are sold in combination with other products or services from JBI, its Affiliates or sublicensees and the customer receives a specific discount for such “bundling” of
        products (for clarity, this situation describes bundling of two or more separate products, each in finished dosage form, and not a fixed combination of two active pharmaceutical ingredients), the Net Sales of the said Product(s), for the purposes
        of determining royalty payments, shall be determined by multiplying the relevant Net Sales by the fraction, A/(A+B) where A is the weighted (by sales volume) average sale price in a particular country of the Product(s) in the previous Calendar Year
        when sold separately and B is the weighted average sale price in that country in the previous Calendar Year of the other product sold separately. In the event that such average sale price cannot be determined for either of the Product(s) or the
        other product(s) it has been sold with, in combination, then for purposes of determining the royalty payments, JBI will propose a reasonable good faith estimate of the fair market value of each component (and JBI will provide Isis a justification
        and support for such estimates) which will be substituted for the weighted average sales price for each such product in the formula above. If JBI, its Affiliate or a Sublicensee receives non-monetary consideration for a Product, Net Sales are
        calculated based on the fair market value of that consideration.

       ISIS PHARMACEUTICALS ANNOUNCES COLLABORATION WITH JANSSEN TO DISCOVER AND DEVELOP RNA-TARGETED THERAPEUTICS FOR AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES IN THE GI TRACT

      

      

      -- Collaboration Combines Isis’ RNA-Targeted Technology with Expertise of Janssen in Autoimmune Disorders and Therapeutic Formulation --

      

      

      Carlsbad, Calif., Jan. [5], 2015 –Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISIS) today announced that the company has  entered into a global collaboration with Janssen Biotech, Inc. (Janssen) to discover and develop antisense drugs to treat
        autoimmune disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.  The collaboration brings together Isis’ RNA-targeted technology platform and the expertise of Janssen in autoimmune disorders and therapeutic formulation to discover and develop antisense
        drugs that can be locally administered, including oral delivery, to treat autoimmune disorders in the GI tract.

      

      

      “We are excited to be working with Janssen to apply our drug discovery and development efforts in this therapeutic area.  This collaboration broadens the utility of our drug discovery technology to new targets in the GI tract and expands the
        administration of antisense drugs to local delivery, including oral delivery, to the gut,” said B. Lynne Parshall, chief operating officer at Isis Pharmaceuticals. “We are the leader in RNA-targeted therapeutics and our innovation and the successes
        of our pipeline drugs enable us to form collaborations, like this one, with leaders in specific therapeutic areas.  This partnering strategy ensures that we have access to resources that support and enhance our drug discovery efforts and also
        provides us with collaborators, like Janssen, who are uniquely capable of conducting development, marketing and commercial efforts for these drugs.  .”

      

      

      Under the terms of the agreement, which covers three programs, Isis will receive $35 million in upfront payments, including a payment to initiate human  lead optimization on the first collaboration target.  Isis is eligible to receive nearly
        $800 million in development, regulatory and sales milestone payments and license fees for these programs.  In addition, Isis will receive tiered royalties that on average are double-digits on sales from any product that is successfully
        commercialized.  Janssen has the option to license a drug from each of the programs once a development candidate is identified. If Janssen exercises its option, it will assume global development, regulatory and commercialization responsibilities.
