2. License Grants and Restrictions. 

2.1 Patent Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, WU hereby grants to Licensee, and
Licensee hereby accepts, a non-transferable, exclusive (subject to Section 2.4 below) and royalty-bearing license under the Patent Rights and for the Term of this Agreement, to research, develop, make,
have made, sell, offer for sale, have sold, use, have used, export and import Licensed Products solely in the Territory and in the Field. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that no license is granted or implied under the
Patent Rights outside the Field or the Territory. In exploiting the rights granted hereunder, Licensee agrees to consider opportunities to pursue Humanitarian Use, whether such Humanitarian Use is performed by or through Licensee or a Qualified
Humanitarian Organization. 
 2.2 Limitations on Patent Rights License. WU retains its right to use the Patent
Rights to make, have made, use, and import Licensed Products in the Territory and in the Field for research and educational purposes including collaboration with other nonprofit entities, which shall expressly exclude any commercial purposes. 

2.3 Clarifications. For the avoidance of doubt, the license “to have made” granted in Section 2.1
above means that the Licensee, its Affiliates and any Sublicensees may contract with one or more third parties to make Licensed Products for Licensee, its Affiliates or any Sublicensees for Sale or offer for Sale by Licensee within the scope of its
sales operations or for research and development purposes. In any such event, Licensee shall require all such third parties to be bound to a written confidentiality agreement that contains non-use and
nondisclosure obligations that are at least as restrictive as those that are contained in Article 7 below before any Confidential Information is disclosed to such third parties. 

2.4 Government Rights. In accordance with Public Laws 96-517, 97-256 and 98-620, codified at 35 U.S.C. §§ 200-212, the United States government retains certain rights to inventions
arising from federally supported research or development. Under these laws and implementing regulations, the government may impose requirements on such inventions. Licensed Products embodying inventions subject to these laws and regulations sold in
the United States must be substantially manufactured in the United States. Upon Licensee’s request, and at Licensee’s expense, WU agrees to cooperate reasonably with Licensee in connection with attempting to secure a waiver of such
obligations. The license rights granted in this Agreement are expressly made subject to these laws and regulations as amended from time to time. Licensee shall be required to abide by all such laws and regulations. 

2.5 Reservation of Rights and Restrictions. Nothing in this Agreement provides Licensee with any ownership rights
of any kind in the Patent Rights. All ownership rights in the Patent Rights shall remain the sole and exclusive property of WU. No license or right is granted by WU, by implication or otherwise, to any patent other than those patents and patent
applications within the Patent Rights. Other than the licenses expressly granted in Section 2.1 above, all rights in and to the Patent Rights are hereby reserved by WU. Licensee agrees not to practice or use Patent Rights outside the scope of
the license expressly granted herein. Licensee further agrees that it will not do any act or thing which would in any way contest WU’s ownership in, or otherwise derogate from the ownership by WU, of any rights in the Patent Rights. In
furtherance of the foregoing but without limiting the generality thereof, Licensee agrees not to register or attempt to register in the Territory or elsewhere any ownership rights in the Patent Rights or to assist any third party to do so. 

  
 6 














 2.6 Markings. Licensee shall ensure that appropriate markings,
such as “Patent Pending” or the Patent Rights patent numbers or application serial numbers, appear, in accordance with each country’s patent laws, on all Licensed Products (or their packaging, as appropriate) sold by or on behalf of
Licensee. 
 2.7 Sublicensing; Affiliates. 

2.7.1 General. Subject to the further provisions of this Section 2.7, Licensee may grant
sublicenses of the licenses granted to Licensee in Section 2.1 above to Affiliates or to third parties by entering into a written agreement with any such third party (each such agreement shall be referred to herein as a
“Sublicense” and each such third party shall be referred to herein as a “Sublicensee”). Each direct Sublicensee of Licensee may grant a further Sublicense under the Sublicense granted by Licensee; provided, however,
that no such further Sublicensee shall have the right to grant any further Sublicense without the reasonable written consent of WU, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (each such third party receiving a further
Sublicense shall be referred to herein as a “Sub-Sublicesee;” for clarity, each Sub-Sublicensee shall be a “Sublicensee” for the purposes of this
Agreement). 
 2.7.2 Requirements of each Sublicense Agreement. Licensee agrees that it will
require all Sublicensees to comply with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and applicable to Licensee. In furtherance of the foregoing, but without limiting the generality thereof, each Sublicense shall, for the express benefit of
WU, bind the Sublicensee to the applicable terms and conditions no less favorable to WU than those between WU and Licensee contained in this Agreement that are relevant to a Sublicense. To the extent that any term, condition, or limitation of any
Sublicense is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and limitations contained in this Agreement, such term, condition, and/or limitation shall be null and void against WU. Without in any way narrowing or limiting the scope of the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.7.2, all Sublicenses shall contain the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit B hereto. Within [***] days after the effective date of any Sublicense, Licensee shall provide WU a complete copy of the Sublicense
including, without limitation, any and all exhibits and/or attachments thereto, provided, that Licensee may redact any non-financial terms not relevant to obligations owed to WU hereunder. If the
Sublicense is written in a language other than English, the copy of the Sublicense shall be accompanied by a complete translation written in English. Upon delivery of such translation to WU, Licensee shall be deemed to represent and warrant to WU
that such translation is a true and accurate translation of the Sublicense. 
 2.7.3 Survival of
Sublicenses. At Licensee’s written request, any Sublicense granted by Licensee under this Agreement will remain in effect in the event that this Agreement is terminated prior to expiration. Any such Sublicensee will automatically become
a direct licensee of WU under the rights originally Sublicensed to it by Licensee provided the Sublicensee did not cause the termination of this Agreement and the Sublicensee agrees to comply with the terms of this Agreement and to fulfill all the
responsibilities of Licensee hereunder. Each such Sublicensee shall be an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 2.7.3. In the event that this Agreement is terminated, all amounts subsequently due to Licensee with respect to any such
Sublicense granted under the licenses granted under this Agreement shall become paid directly to WU following the date of termination. 

  
 7 














 2.7.4 Primary Liability. Licensee will be
primarily liable to WU for all acts, errors or omissions of a Sublicensee. Any act, error or omission of a Sublicensee that would be a breach of this Agreement if imputed to Licensee will be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by Licensee. 

2.7.5 Rights of Affiliates. Licensee may exercise its rights, perform its obligations and pursue its
remedies under this Agreement either directly or through one or more of its Affiliates that Licensee designates as a licensed Affiliate under this Agreement by providing written notice to Licensor of such designation (each such Affiliate, a
“Licensed Affiliate”). A Licensed Affiliate will have the benefit of all rights (including all licenses) and remedies of Licensee under this Agreement. Accordingly, in this Agreement, “Licensee” will be interpreted to mean
“Licensee or its Licensed Affiliates” where necessary to give each Licensed Affiliate the benefit of the rights and remedies provided to Licensee in this Agreement; provided, however, that in any event Licensee will be primarily liable to
WU for all acts, errors or omissions of a Licensed Affiliate. Any act, error or omission of a Licensed Affiliate that would be a breach of this Agreement if imputed to Licensee will be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by Licensee. The right
of Licensee to exercise its rights, perform its obligations and pursue its remedies under this Agreement through one or more of its Affiliates is in addition to and not in lieu of the right of Licensee to grant a Sublicense to Affiliates as provided
in Section 2.7.1. 
 3. Development Plan. 

3.1 Development Plan. Licensee represents and warrants that (a) the Development Plan contains Licensee’s
good faith, bona fide plans, as of the date that is [***] months following the Effective Date, for researching and developing, and if regulatory approval is obtained, commercializing Licensed Products, and (b) Licensee has or plans to obtain
the knowledge, expertise, experience and resources to fully carry out such plans. 
 3.2 Progress Reports.
Licensee will deliver to WU written reports on Licensee’s progress against the Development Plan no later than [***] and [***] of the [***] calendar years following the calendar year in which the Effective Date falls, and no later than [***] of
each calendar year thereafter. Each such report will set forth Licensee’s progress against the Development Plan in reasonable detail including, without limitation, the [***]. Each such report will identify [***]. Upon reasonable request by WU
from time-to-time, Licensee will meet with WU to consult with WU about Licensee’s then-current progress against the Development Plan. 

3.3 Changes to Development Plan. Licensee may amend, change or otherwise modify the Development Plan upon written
notice to WU. 
 4. Diligence. 

4.1 Licensee agrees to, throughout the term of this Agreement, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, itself or through its Affiliates,
Sublicensees or contractors, to develop, manufacture, promote and sell Licensed Products, in each instance throughout the Territory and in the Field and to achieve the diligence milestones set forth in Exhibit D. 

4.2 Should WU conclude in its reasonable judgment that Licensee fails to meet the diligence requirements set out in Section 4.1
above (as may be extended pursuant to Exhibit D), WU may notify Licensee of its conclusions and the basis therefore. The Parties shall then undertake to resolve WU’s concerns through good faith negotiations for a period of [***] days. Should
such negotiations fail to result in Licensee achieving a level of diligence consistent with its obligations under Section 4.1 above, in WU’s sole reasonable judgment, then WU may terminate this Agreement as provided in Article 13 below.


  
 8 














 5. Fees, Payments and Royalties. 

5.1 License Issue Fee. Within [***] days after the Effective Date, Licensee agrees to pay the License Issue Fee to
WU. Such License Issue Fee shall be non-refundable and shall not be credited against any other payments that may be due hereunder. 

5.2 License Maintenance Fee. On or before [***] of the Effective Date and until the First Commercial Sale of the
first Licensed Product occurs, Licensee agrees to pay the License Maintenance Fee to WU. All License Maintenance Fees shall be non-refundable and shall not be credited against any other payments that may be
due hereunder. 
 5.3 Royalties. 

5.3.1 Licensed Products. For each Licensed Product made or sold by or for Licensee, its’ Affiliate
and/or Sublicensee within the Territory, Licensee agrees to pay WU an earned royalty equal to the Royalty Rate of Net Sales if there is a Valid Claim in at least one of the country of manufacture or country of Sale of such Licensed Product. Such
earned royalties on Net Sales in each Calendar Half shall be paid by Licensee within [***] days after the end of such Calendar Half. 

5.3.2 Stacking Royalties. In the event that Licensee makes a royalty payment to one or more third
parties for any patent rights (or know-how rights licensed under the same agreement as such patent rights, but only prior to the expiration of the last valid claim of such patent rights) needed to practice,
use, make, sell, offer to sell, import or otherwise exploit any Licensed Product, Licensee would be entitled to deduct from the royalties due to WU up to [***]percent ([***]%) of the royalty Licensee actually pays to such third parties subject to
the requirement that the Royalty Rate for the royalties paid to WU hereunder shall not be reduced below [***] percent ([***]%) as a result of any such deductions. 

5.3.3 Combination Products. The Royalty Rate for Combination Products shall be determined by the Parties
in good faith, taking into account the relative fair market value contribution of the Licensed Product and the other Therapeutically Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient in such Combination Product. 

5.3.4 Minimum Royalty Rate. The Royalty Rate for royalties paid to WU hereunder shall not be
reduced below [***] ([***]%) as a result of the Stacking Royalty and/or Combination Product provisions in Sections 5.3.2 and 5.3.3.  

5.4 Minimum Royalties. Commencing with the [***] anniversary of the Effective Date following the First Commercial
Sale of the first Licensed Product and continuing thereafter throughout the Term, Licensee agrees to pay WU a minimum royalty equal to the Minimum Royalty for each such anniversary of the Effective Date as an advance against the royalties due under
Section 5.3.1 and/or 5.3.2 and/or 5.3.3 above that are paid to WU by Sana over the ensuing [***] period. Such Minimum Royalties shall be due within [***] days after the applicable anniversary. 

5.5 Milestone Payments. Licensee agrees to pay WU milestone payments in the amounts set forth in this
Section 5.5 within [***] days after the date that the applicable milestone set forth below in the Preamble is achieved; provided, however, that in the case of achievement of a milestone by a Sublicensee, such [***] day period shall be extend to
sixty [***]. 

  
 9 














 5.6 Clarifications. For the avoidance of doubt, no multiple royalty
will be required to be paid because a Licensed Product or its manufacture, use, Sale or importation or performance is covered by more than one Valid Claim or patent or patent application within the Patent Rights. A Sale of a Licensed Product will be
deemed to have been made at the time Licensee or a Sublicensee (or anyone acting on behalf of or for the benefit of Licensee or its Sublicensees) first invoices, ships, or receives value for a Licensed Product. In order to ensure that WU obtains the
full amount of royalty payments contemplated in this Agreement, in the event of a Sale of any Licensed Product internally and not for resale between Licensee, its Affiliates or any Sublicensee or other third party with whom Licensee has any
agreement or arrangement regarding consideration (including but not limited to an option to purchase stock, stock ownership, division of profits, or special rebates or allowances), the gross value of the Sale for purposes of calculating Net Sales
shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the Licensed Product. 
 5.7 Sublicensing Revenue Obligations.  

5.7.1 Licensee shall pay to WU the applicable percentage of Sublicensing Revenue identified in the Preamble above, after
application of the terms of Section 5.7.2, to the extent applicable, within [***] days of the end of the Calendar Half in which Licensee receives the Sublicensing Revenue. 

5.7.2 To the extent that a payment is made under a Sublicense that grants both a sublicense under the Patent Rights and
a license or sublicense under other intellectual property rights for technology, or materials, then Licensee shall calculate reasonably and in good faith the portion(s) of overall consideration in the transaction that will be considered Sublicensing
Revenue versus other consideration that is not Sublicensing Revenue based on the relative value of the Patent Rights as compared to the other intellectual property rights or material licensed or sublicensed by Licensee under such Sublicense in
consideration for which such payment was made. Licensee shall notify WU in writing of its calculation (“Sublicense Income Calculation Notice”) within [***] days of receipt of Sublicense Consideration and shall provide such
supporting detail and documentation as Licensee deems appropriate to support its calculation, provided that WU may reasonably request additional information and documentation from Licensee to support its Sublicense Income Calculation Notice if WU
reasonably disputes the calculation because of insufficient information. Licensee shall not be obligated to disclose to WU confidential terms of any other license agreements or confidential information regarding its products or technology. If WU
reasonably disputes Licensee’s calculation, the matter shall be escalated to senior management for resolution, and if the matter remains unresolved after such escalation then, within [***] days of WU’s receipt of the Sublicense Income
Calculation Notice, then WU may invoke baseball arbitration as provided below. The matter shall be resolved by baseball arbitration under the Final Offer Arbitration Supplementary Rules of the AAA
(also referred to as Baseball or Last Best Offer Arbitration Supplementary Rules). To the extent that any of the procedures set forth above would be duplicated under such Supplementary Rules, such procedures shall not be repeated under the
Supplementary Rules; provided that in any event the simultaneous exchange of final offers under paragraph 3 of such Supplementary Rules as in force as of September 2015 (or similar final offer process in a future version of the Supplementary Rules)
shall in any event occur and not be considered duplicative over this paragraph. The arbitrators are not entitled to modify a proposal, or average proposals, or do anything other than to select one Party’s proposal or the other Party’s
proposal. The arbitrators shall choose the Party’s proposal that more fairly allocates total consideration paid in the overall transaction at issue between the value of the Patent Rights versus the value of the other intellectual property
licensed or sublicensed by Licensee under the applicable 

  
 10 














 
agreement, taking into account all relevant factors, including without limitation scientific, intellectual property-related and commercial factors. The decision in the arbitration shall finally
settle the matter (i.e. it shall be final and binding on the Parties, enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction). The Parties shall share the fees of the Arbitrators equally. If WU reasonably disputes Licensee’s calculation and WU has
not invoked baseball arbitration as provided above to resolve the matter within [***] days of WU’s receipt of the Sublicense Income Calculation Notice, then Licensee’s calculation of portion(s) of the overall consideration in the
transaction that will be considered Sublicensing Revenue versus other consideration that is not Sublicensing Revenue Sublicense Income shall be final and binding upon WU. 

6. Place and Method of Payment; Reports and Records; Audit; Interest. 

6.1 Method of Payment. All dollar ($) amounts referred to in this Agreement are expressed in United States dollars.
All payments to WU shall be made in United States dollars by check or electronic transfer payable to “Washington University.” Any Sales revenues for Licensed Products in currency other than United States dollars shall be converted to
United States dollars at the conversion rate for the foreign currency as published in the Eastern edition of The Wall Street Journal as of the last business day in the United States of the applicable Calendar Half or at such other conversion
rate(s) as Licensee uses generally in its business for reporting sales and as reasonably agreed by WU. 
 6.2 Place of
Payment. Checks shall reference WU [***] and shall be sent to: 
 [***] 

All payments shall include the WU Contract Number to ensure accurate crediting to Licensee’s account. Electronic transfers shall be made to a bank account
designated in writing by WU. 
 6.3 Reports. Within [***] days after the end of each Calendar Half in which a
Licensed Product is Sold or made, Licensee shall deliver to WU, a written report setting forth the calculation of all amounts due to WU under Sections 5.3 and 5.5 above for such Calendar Half. For Licensed Products, each such report shall show, at a
minimum, [***]. 
 6.4 Books and Records. Licensee shall maintain complete and accurate books of account and
records that would enable an independent auditor to verify the amounts paid as royalties, fees and payments under this Agreement. The books and records for a Calendar Half must be maintained for [***] years following the last day of such Calendar
Half. Upon reasonable notice by WU, Licensee must give an independent, certified public accountant appointed by and representing WU and reasonably acceptable to Licensee access to all books and records relating to Sales of Licensed Products by
Licensee to conduct, at WU’s expense, an audit or review of those books and records during regular business hours. All such audits may be made no more than once each calendar year at reasonable times and on reasonable advance notice. No
accounting period shall be subject to audit more than one time hereunder. No such audit of a Calendar Half may be conducted more than [***] years after the last day of such Calendar Half, and no such audit may be conducted more than [***] calendar
years following the year in which termination or expiration of this Agreement occurs. If any such audit or review determines that Licensee has underpaid royalties by [***]% or more for any Calendar Half, Licensee shall (a) [***] for the costs and
expenses of the independent, certified public accountant in connection with the review and audit, and (b) [***]. 

  
 11 














 6.5 Interest and Collection. Any amounts not paid by Licensee to
WU when due shall accrue interest, from the date [***] days after the balance is due, at an interest rate of [***]% per month or portion of month. In addition, Licensee will reimburse WU for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) in collecting any overdue amounts. 
 6.6 Foreign Taxes. Payments shall be paid
to WU free and clear of all foreign taxes. If laws, rules or regulations of any foreign jurisdiction require withholding of income taxes of other rates imposed upon payments set forth in this Agreement, Licensee shall make such withholding payments
as required and without subtracting such withholding payments from such payments to WU. Licensee shall submit appropriate proof of payment of the withholding rates to WU within a reasonable period of time. Licensee shall use efforts consistent with
its usual business practices to minimize the extent of any withholding taxes imposed under the provisions of the current or any future double taxation treaties or agreement between foreign countries, and the Parties shall cooperate with each other
with respect thereto, with the appropriate Party under the circumstances providing the documentation required under such treaty or agreement to claim benefits thereunder. 

7. Confidentiality. 
 7.1
Definition of Confidential Information. The Parties acknowledge that, prior to and during the Term of this Agreement, the Parties may disclose to one another scientific, technical, trade secret, business, or other
information which is treated by the disclosing Party as confidential or proprietary, including but not limited to unpublished Patent Rights patent applications (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information”). Both Parties
agree that in order to ensure that each Party understands which information is deemed to be confidential, all Confidential Information will be in written form and clearly marked as “Confidential,” and if the Confidential Information is
initially disclosed in oral or some other non-written form, it will be confirmed and summarized in writing and clearly marked as “Confidential” within [***] days of disclosure. The receiving Party
shall hold such Confidential Information in confidence and shall treat such information in the same manner as it treats its own confidential information but not less than with a reasonable degree of care. In recognition that WU is a non-commercial, academic institution, Licensee agrees to limit to the extent practicable the delivery of Licensee Confidential Information to WU. WU retains the right to refuse to accept any such information or data
from Licensee which it does not consider to be essential to this Agreement or which it believes to be improperly designated, for any reason, but such refusal shall not eliminate the obligation of the individual making such a determination from
treating such information as confidential hereunder where such information has been read by such individual. The Confidential Information provided to the receiving Party will remain the property of the disclosing Party, and will be disclosed only to
those persons necessary for the performance of this Agreement.

domain through no act by or on behalf of the receiving Party; (c) is lawfully received by the receiving Party from a third party without any obligations of confidentiality, and/or (d) comprises identical subject matter to that which had
been originally and independently developed by the receiving Party personnel without knowledge or use of any Confidential Information as evidenced by the receiving Party’s records. 

7.3 General Obligations. Subject to Section 2.3 above and to Sections 7.5 and 7.6 below, the receiving Party
agrees that during the term of this Agreement and forever thereafter it will (a) refrain from disclosing any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to third parties, (b) disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing Party
to only those directors, officers, employees, advisors, consultants and subcontractors of the receiving Party necessary for the receiving Party to use the Confidential Information 

  
 12 














 
in accordance with this Agreement and who are subject to restrictions on use and disclosure at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Agreement, (c) keep confidential the
Confidential Information, and (d) except for use in accordance with the licenses and other rights which are expressly granted in this Agreement, refrain from using Confidential Information. 

7.4 No License. By disclosing the Confidential Information to the other Party, the disclosing Party does not grant
any express or implied rights to the other Party under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets other than the licenses expressly granted herein. Each Party reserves, without prejudice, the ability to protect its rights under any such
patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets. 
 7.5 Judicial and Securities Law Procedures. The receiving
Party may, to the extent necessary, disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in accordance with a judicial or other governmental rule, regulation or order, provided that the receiving Party (a) in the case of disclosures
other than those required by securities laws, rules, regulations or orders or the rules of any securities exchange or market on which a receiving Party’s securities are listed or traded, either (i) gives the disclosing Party reasonable
notice (to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permissible) prior to such disclosure to allow the disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or equivalent, or (ii) obtains written assurance from the
applicable judicial or governmental entity that it will afford the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party an appropriate level of protection afforded under applicable law or regulation and (b) in the case of disclosures required by
securities laws, rules, regulations or orders or the rules of any securities exchange or market on which a receiving Party’s securities are listed or traded, the receiving Party takes reasonable steps, upon the advice of securities counsel, to
limit disclosure of or seek confidential treatment for such Confidential Information. 
 7.6 Permitted
Disclosures. Licensee may, to the extent necessary, use and disclose the Confidential Information of WU (a) to secure governmental approval to clinically test or market a Licensed Product, (b) if applicable, to secure patent
protection for an invention within the Patent Rights, (c) to actual or potential Sublicensees or contractors performing services with respect to Licensed Products, and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, consultants and
subcontractors, provided such actual or potential Sublicensees or contractors first agree in writing to be bound by terms of confidentiality that are at least as restrictive as the terms of confidentiality set forth in this Agreement, (d) to
actual or potential investors, lenders or other financing sources, licensees, sublicensees and acquirers, and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, consultants and subcontractors, provided such actual or potential investors,
lenders or other financing sources, licensees, sublicensees and acquirers first agree in writing to be bound by terms of confidentiality that are at least as restrictive as the terms of confidentiality set forth in this Agreement. Licensee will, in
any such event, take all reasonably available steps to maintain the confidentiality of the disclosed WU Confidential Information and to guard against any further disclosure.

maintenance of Patent Rights patents and applications. Subject to compliance by [***] with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9.2 below), [***] will (a) prosecute and maintain the
applications and patents within the Patent Rights, and (b) prepare, file and prosecute additional applications within the Patent Rights as [***] may reasonably request, in [***] name at [***] sole cost and expense. [***] will select qualified
outside patent counsel and corresponding foreign associates reasonably acceptable to [***] to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain U.S. patents and patent applications and foreign counterparts within the Patent Rights. [***] will (a) instruct
patent counsel to copy [***] on all substantive correspondence, or otherwise provide [***] with a copy of correspondence, in connection with the prosecution of the Patent Rights, including correspondence from the United States Patent and Trademark

shall vest in [***] . [***] shall have the exclusive right and discretion, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, to elect whether to obtain any patent term extension (including, e.g., a supplementary protection certificate) of the Patent Rights covering such License Product under in
accordance with the applicable laws of any such jurisdiction in the Territory. [***] agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts 

  
 14

 9.3 Failure to
Reimburse. [***] may elect not to reimburse [***] for amounts due under Section 9.2 in respect to one or more Patent Rights patents and/or patent applications in one or more jurisdictions only by giving [***] notice of such

held jointly by all Parties, and that no individual Party is authorized to waive any such privilege or protection. Further, this Agreement shall not affect the ethical, fiduciary or other obligations inherent in those attorney-client relationships
other than to extend the cloak of confidentiality and privilege to the Shared Information as provided herein. Each Party agrees that Shared Information obtained from another Party or developed jointly shall be used only for the preparation and
prosecution of the Licensed Patents and for no other purpose. Each Party agrees to keep Shared Information as the Confidential Information of the other Party.

reasonable time after learning of the infringement of the Patent Rights, [***] shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take appropriate actions including, without limitation, filing a lawsuit, at [***] cost, provided that prior to bringing
any action, [***] shall consider in good faith the reasons [***] has failed to bring such action. [***] will provide reasonable assistance to [***] in prosecuting, resolving and/or settling any such actions. 

10.2.2 Restrictions on Settlement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,

12.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Licensee shall not be required to maintain such insurance if it maintains a
reasonable and customary program of self-insurance that covers the liabilities described in Section 12.1 and such program of self-insurance is reasonably acceptable to WU.

Consultant while acting in such capacity; (iii) WU receives no benefit from such activity; (iv) neither Licensee nor the Consultant may use WU resources in the course of such service; (v) WU makes no representations or warranties

expectation that there will be no adverse impact on its tax exempt status. As such, and if it becomes necessary, the parties agree to amend, modify or reform this Agreement as necessary (i) in order to ensure that there is no material adverse
impact on WU’s tax exempt status, and (ii) in a manner that preserves the economic terms of the Agreement as such are set forth in this Agreement.

Sublicense Agreement Provisions 

Sublicensee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless WU Indemnitees to the same extent and under terms no less favorable to WU Indemnitees as Licensee’s
obligations under Article 11 of this Agreement. 
 Sublicensee agrees to maintain insurance for WU’s benefit to the same extent and under terms no less
favorable to WU as Licensee’s obligations under Article 12 of this Agreement. 
 Sublicensee agrees to maintain books and records and allow audits for
WU’s benefit to the same extent and under terms no less favorable to WU as Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement. 
 If Licensee enters
bankruptcy or receivership, voluntarily or involuntarily, sublicensing revenue then or thereafter due to Licensee will, upon notice from WU to any Sublicensee, become directly due and owing to WU for the account of Licensee. WU will remit to
Licensee any amounts received that exceed the sum actually owed by Licensee to WU.
