	2.1.	 Scope of Agreement. This Agreement serves as an umbrella agreement under which the Parties undertake to
collaborate in the area of Fibrosis-related indications in up to [***] individual Projects. 


  

	2.2.	 Objective of the Agreement. The Parties shall strive to develop at least one (1) Lead Candidate and
one (1) Development Candidate per Project. 


  

	2.3.	 Roles of the Parties. Both Parties will contribute Compound libraries suitable for screening purposes to
the Projects as further detailed in the Collaboration Plan. The research works will be conducted mainly by Recursion using the Recursion Technology and by Bayer, in each case to the extent expressly laid out in Sections 3.1 or 3.2 of the Agreement,
the Collaboration Plan or the applicable Project Plan. 


  

	2.4.	 Options. Bayer will at its discretion have the right to exercise the Bayer Lead Series Option or the
Bayer Development Candidate Option with regard to each Lead Series or Development Candidate in accordance with Section 8 on terms agreed in the applicable license agreement attached to this Agreement as Appendix 2 (Lead Series)
and Appendix 3 (Development Candidate) (each a “License Agreement”). In case Bayer does not exercise any of its Options with respect to a Lead Series or Development Candidate during the relevant Option Period,
Recursion will have the option to negotiate on a Lead Series-by-Lead Series or Development
Candidate-by-Development Candidate basis a license in accordance with Section 8. 



 

	2.5.	 Exclusivity. This Collaboration is set up as a one-way exclusive
discovery collaboration as it pertains to the use of the Recursion Technology in the field of Fibrosis (“Exclusivity Field”). During the Collaboration Term, Recursion will not conduct any research and development activities outside
of this Collaboration either by itself or together with Third Parties in the Exclusivity Field to the extent that the focus of such activities is the discovery and validation of compounds directed primarily at [***] (each a “Restricted
Project”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recursion shall be entitled to continue any research and development activities which Recursion can prove to be already initiated by Recursion prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement even if
such research and development activities are within the Exclusivity Field. In the event of a Change of Control of Recursion, the foregoing limitations shall not apply to any program that an Acquiring Entity had ongoing as of immediately prior to the
date of such Change of Control or any program conducted by an Acquiring Entity after the date of such Change of Control; provided that such Acquiring Entity does not use the Recursion Technology, Project Results or any Confidential Information of
Bayer for such program or for activities related to such program. Further, if Recursion or any of its Affiliates acquires rights to a Restricted Project through the acquisition of a Third Party (whether by merger or acquisition of all or
substantially all of the stock or assets of a Third Party or of any operating or business division of a Third Party or similar transaction), such acquisition, and research and development for such Restricted Project thereafter, shall not constitute
a breach of this Section 2.5 if Recursion or such Affiliate, as applicable, Divests such Restricted Project within twelve (12) months from the closing of the acquisition and at all times prior to such Divestiture, Segregates such
Restricted Project.

	 	3.1.1.	 Screening Hypothesis. [***] design screening hypotheses of relevance for Fibrosis diseases
(“Screening Hypothesis”) and will provide [***] such Screening Hypothesis [***] following the Effective Date respectively (in total [***] Screening Hypotheses). 



 

	 	3.1.2.	 Recursion Models and screening assays. [***] will generate from these Screening Hypotheses [***]
cellular models, each such model consisting of [***], 


  

	 	•	 [***] 


  

	 	•	 [***] 


  

	 	•	 [***]. 


  

	 	3.1.3.	 Library Screening. Within each Project, [***] will evaluate, using the [***] Assay for such Project, a
Bayer chemical library of approximately 500,000 compounds (each a “Bayer Library Compound” and collectively the “Bayer Library Compounds”). In addition, [***] will evaluate a Recursion chemical library of
approximately 190,000 compounds (each a “Recursion Library Compound” and collectively the “Recursion Library Compounds”). The Bayer Library Compounds and the Recursion Library Compounds may be referred to,
collectively, as the “Library Compounds”. Within each [***] Assay, [***] will evaluate Compounds from the Library Compounds, and will further evaluate such Library Compounds that show initial activity in multiple replicates and
multiple concentrations as set forth in the Project Plan. 


  

	 	3.1.4.	 Recursion Phenotype Assay. [***] will use its high-dimensional phenotypic assay and machine learning
algorithms to evaluate Compound activity based on degree of on-target (disease-associated features) and off-target (inducement of
non-disease-associated features) activity. Each such Compound that meets the agreed hit criteria for a [***] Assay pursuant to a Project shall be referred to herein as a “Primary Hit” or
“Primary Hit Series”. [***]. 



  
 11 














	 	3.1.5.	 Hit Profiling and Hit Prioritization. For each Primary Hit, [***] will conduct further hit profiling and
generate mechanistic insights to further prioritize such Primary Hits and Primary Hit Series by profiling hits [***] assays and comparing resulting phenotypes to [***]. 



 

	 	3.1.6.	 Hit Selection. [***]. For each Project the Parties shall agree through the JSC on up to [***] Primary
Hits and Primary Hit Series for entering into Phase II (such selected Primary Hits or Primary Hit Series a “Qualified Hit” and structurally related “Qualified Hit Series”, respectively). [***]. If there are no
Primary Hits for a Project, as reported to the JSC, the Project shall be discontinued, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties through the JSC. 



Phase 2 – Initial Qualified Hit Optimization and in-vivo validation of Lead Candidates

  

	 	3.1.7.	 In-vitro validation. For each Qualified Hit, [***] will conduct
further in-vitro validation efforts to confirm activity of the Qualified Hit in disease-relevant assays. Such assays may include, but are not limited to, the following [***]: 



 

	 	•	 [***] 


  

	 	•	 [***] 


  

	 	3.1.8.	 SAR exploration and Hit optimization: for each Qualified Hit Series, [***] will conduct further efforts

 [***] 

 

	7.4.	 Late Payments. All payments not made by [***] days after the respective Payment Date set out in this
Agreement shall be subject to Late Payment interest at the United States Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), currently published on Bloomberg screen SOFRRATE Index, fixed two Business Days prior to the respective Payment Date
and reset to the prevailing SOFR at monthly intervals thereafter, plus a premium of one (1) percentage points (or the maximum applicable legal rate of interest if lower). Interest shall be calculated based on the actual number of days in the
interest period divided by 360 and shall be calculated from the respective Payment Date (inclusive) until the date of payment (exclusive). 


  

	7.5.	 Value Added Tax. All agreed consideration is exclusive of “VAT” (European Value Added Tax,
goods and service tax and similar taxes). If VAT is applicable, VAT shall be invoiced additionally according to applicable VAT law. Such VAT shall be paid to Recursion only if Recursion is obliged to transfer such VAT to respective tax
authorities and after receipt of a corresponding invoice. Recursion shall issue correct invoices in accordance with the applicable VAT law. 


  

	7.6.	 Withholding Taxes. Any party required to make a payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be entitled to
deduct and withhold from the amount payable the tax for which paying party on behalf of payee is liable under any provisions of Applicable Law (such tax, “Withholding Tax”); 



If the Withholding Tax rate is reduced according to the regulations in the Double Tax Treaty no deduction shall be made or a reduced amount
shall be deducted only if paying party is timely furnished with necessary documents (Freistellungsbescheid) by payee issued from the German Tax Authority (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern), certifying that the payment is exempt from Withholding Tax
or subject to a reduced Withholding Tax rate. 

  
 23 













 Any withheld Withholding Tax shall be treated as having been paid by paying party to payee
for all purposes of this Agreement. Paying party shall timely forward to the payee the tax receipts certifying the payments of Withholding Tax on behalf of payee. In case paying party must pay, but cannot deduct the Withholding Tax due to fulfilment
and completion of its payment obligation by settlement or set-off, payee will pay the Withholding Tax to paying party separately. If paying party reasonably failed to deduct Withholding Tax, but is still
required by Applicable Law to pay such Withholding Tax on account of payee to the tax authorities, payee shall reasonably assist paying party with regard to all procedures required in order to obtain reimbursement by tax authorities or, in case tax
authorities will not reimburse withholding tax to paying party, payee will immediately refund the tax amount. 
  

	7.7.	 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any assignment by a party of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other party results in the imposition of Withholding Tax on a payment to be made by such party that would not have been imposed in the absence of such assignment (or in an increase in
Withholding Tax from the amount that would have been imposed in the absence of such assignment) and the parties cannot reasonably cooperate as described above to eliminate such additional Withholding Tax, then the amount payable by the assigning
party shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that the other party receives a net amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such assignment occurred (taking into account any Withholding Tax on such additional
amounts), unless the payee has approved or requested this assignment. 


 To the extent relevant for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, the Parties intend to treat the payments contemplated by this Agreement as “foreign-derived deduction eligible income” within the meaning of Section 250 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the U.S.
Treasury regulations thereunder, and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to provide a certification or documentation to demonstrate eligibility for the deduction for “foreign-derived intangible income” pursuant to
Section 250.

or through any Affiliate of such Party or Third Party. 



  
 28 














	 	10.2.4.	 If Option is exercised. In the event that Bayer exercises an Option and the Parties execute a License
Agreement with respect to a Lead Series or Development Candidate, Bayer shall have exclusive rights to Recursion’s share in the Project Results of the respective Project to the extent set forth in such License Agreement. In the event that Bayer
does not exercise its Option with respect to a Lead Series or Development Candidate, but the Parties reach an agreement on the Recursion Option with respect thereto, Recursion shall have exclusive or
non-exclusive rights to Bayer’s share in the Project Results to the extent set forth in the license agreement negotiated between the Parties regarding such Recursion Option. To the extent Project Results
are not exclusively licensed to a Party under the respective license agreement, and further subject to Section 10.2.3, with regard to any Project Know-How that has been disclosed to the respective Party,
each Party shall have the right to use, practice, develop and exploit their share in such Project Know-How of the respective Project solely for internal research and development purposes, including the right
to sublicense its interest in the Project Results to Affiliates and Third Parties working for, with, or on behalf of the sublicensing Party for such purpose, without the consent of the other Party and without a duty of accounting to the other Party,

that any sublicensee pursuant to this Section is bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations consistent with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement as they apply to the Parties. 

 

	10.3.	 No other licenses. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to confer any license or other rights
upon a Party by implication, estoppel, or otherwise as to any Intellectual Property Rights or Know-How of the other Party other than as expressly granted in this Agreement. 



 

	10.4.	 Permitted Use of Know-How. To the extent that any information
included in a Party’s Know-How ceases to be Confidential Information of such Party because it falls into one of the exclusions in Section 12.3, nothing in this Agreement restricts the other Party
from using such information in conducting research, development and/or commercialization of products or services to the same extent that a Third Party who lawfully obtained such information without obligations of confidentiality and non-use to the first Party would be able to do. For purposes of clarity, this Section 10.4 does not override any other license terms or confidentiality provisions between the Parties that would otherwise govern
such information. 



  
 29 














	11.	 PATENT PROSECUTION 



 

	11.1.	 Patent Prosecution before Option Exercise/Expiry of Option Periods. As to each Project and until expiry
of the Project Term for such Project, the Parties agree with respect to the filing of Project Patents for such Project to the following: 



Project Patents, shall be filed in Bayer’s and Recursion’s name and assigned to both Bayer and Recursion jointly. 

Bayer shall be responsible for, either itself or through an outside patent counsel of its choice, filing, prosecuting and maintaining any
Project Patents and shall [***] cover the running costs here for. Bayer or outside counsel shall care of the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Project Patents in close alignment with Recursion, including discussion of patent scope,
subsequent applications and other matters of patent strategy. Bayer, either itself or through their outside patent counsel, will keep Recursion fully informed with respect to the status of the filing, prosecution (EP and US) and maintenance of the
Project Patents and will provide material submissions to any patent office related to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Project Patents to Recursion for review and comment at least [***] days prior to submission thereof. Bayer will
consider any comments from Recursion in good faith. Bayer will also notify Recursion in writing about and provide copies to Recursion of, any relevant substantial correspondence including all newly filed patent applications of Project Patents,
proposal of countries in which the patent application shall be filed, notifications on allowance, issue or grant and office actions. Bayer shall have the right to apply for a Project Patent in any country or region of the world. Bayer shall not give
up substantial scope of the claims (unless a claim is determined to be invalid by the PTBA (Patent Trial and Appeal Board) at the US PTO, by a Board of Appeal at the EPO or by a national court) or abandon any Project Patents without Recursion’s
prior written consent. If Bayer decides to abandon, surrender, revoke, or invalidate or not to apply for or maintain any Project Patent in any country or abandon any previously restricted or amended claims, Bayer will provide written notice to
Recursion, [***] days prior to the date an action is due, of Bayer’s intent to abandon, surrender, revoke, or invalidate or not respond to any official correspondence that will result in the loss of rights (or with respect to Patents not yet
filed, within [***] days after Recursion’s request to apply for such Patent). Recursion may then, at Recursion’s sole discretion and sole cost and expense, elect to prosecute and maintain the respective Project Patent. Recursion may accept
such offer in writing within [***] days after having received the offer. Upon receipt of Recursion’s notice of acceptance, Recursion shall forthwith be responsible for the rights and obligations and costs resulting from such Project Patent and
such (formerly) Project Patent will cease to be a Project Patent under this Agreement. The Parties shall take all measures necessary for the transfer of Bayer’s co-ownership share in such (formerly)
Project Patent to Recursion, and for the transfer of patent prosecution responsibility from Bayer to Recursion; transfer costs imposed by respective patent attorneys and registration costs imposed by the respective public registers shall be borne by
Recursion and all rights granted to Bayer under this Agreement to such Project Patents shall cease. In case Recursion refuses the offer or does not provide its acceptance in writing within the [***] days period, Bayer has the right to abandon or to
not apply for the offered Project Patent. Bayer shall not be liable to Recursion for ultimate discontinuation of such Project Patents, except in the case that Bayer intentionally ignores said Recursion’s acceptance notice, provided, however,
that Bayer has timely received such acceptance notice and discontinuation of the respective Project Patents is irreversible. 
  

	 	11.1.1.	 Patent Prosecution if no Option Exercise. Unless Recursion exercises its Option with respect to a
Project, after the Project Term expires, Bayer shall remain responsible for, either itself or through an outside patent counsel of its choice, for filing, prosecuting and maintaining any Project Patent as described in Section 11.1 The costs
here for will be carried by Bayer. Unless stated otherwise in this Section 11.1.1, the provisions in Section 11.1 shall apply. If Recursion is interested in taking over the responsibility for the respective Project Patent, the Parties will
discuss a transfer of the responsibility which Bayer shall not unreasonably withhold, provided that such Project Patents do not cover subject matter of other then-ongoing Projects. 



  
 30 














	 	11.1.2.	 Patent Enforcement before Option Exercise/Expiry of Option Periods or if No Option Exercise.



  

	 	11.1.2.1.	 Notice. During the Project Term and thereafter if no Option was exercised during the Project Term, if
any Project Patent for such Project is infringed or might be infringed by a Third Party (each an “Infringement”), the Party first having knowledge thereof shall promptly notify the other Parties in writing. Such notice shall set forth the
facts of the Infringement in reasonable detail, if known. 


  

	 	11.1.2.2.	 Enforcement.

expense, to institute, prosecute and control the enforcement or defense of any Project Patents to abate any Infringement thereof. Prior to undertaking any action to enforce such Project Patents, Bayer shall notify Recursion in writing. To the extent
possible Recursion shall be given reasonable time to provide its comments to Bayer. Recursion shall further have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any action by counsel of its own choice. However, should Recursion partake in any
such action Bayer shall retain control of the proceeding and shall have final say on all decisions related thereto. 


  

	 	(b)	 In the event that Bayer fails to institute an action or proceeding or otherwise take appropriate action to
abate such Infringement within a period of sixty (60) days after taking notice of such Infringement, Recursion shall have the right (but not the obligation) to request permission to institute and/or prosecute and control such an action or
proceeding in its name with respect to such Infringement at its sole expense and by counsel of its choice (such permission not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and Bayer shall have the right to be represented in any such action by counsel of
its own choice and at its own expense. However, should Bayer partake in any such action, Recursion shall retain control of the proceeding and shall have final say on all decisions related thereto. 



 

	 	(c)	 The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the planning and execution of any such action to
enforce the respective Project Patents (including the obligation to be named or joined as a party in a lawsuit, as applicable). Each Party initiating an action or proceeding agrees to provide reasonable information to the other Party, at this
Party’s request, about such action or proceeding. 


  

	 	(d)	 All monies recovered upon the final judgment or settlement of any such suit or action to enforce the respective
Project Patents in the Territory shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to reimburse the costs and Losses of the Party bringing suit, then to the costs and Losses, if any, of the other Party; (ii) any amounts
remaining shall be allocated [***] Party. 



  
 31 














	 	(e)	 The Party that controls the prosecution of a given suit or action shall also have the right to control
settlement of such suit or action. If one Party controls and intend to settle the prosecution of a given suit or action, it shall provide the other Party reasonably in advance written information about such intention and about the terms pertaining
to the settlement. Only if the settlement would materially and adversely impact the interest of the other Party, the Party in control of the suit or action shall obtain the other Party’s consent prior to entering into the settlement. Any
amounts received in settlement of any action shall be apportioned between the Parties in the same manner as set forth in Section 11.1.2.2(d) above. 


  

	 	11.1.3.	 Patent Prosecution and Enforcement after Option Exercise. In the event that the Option is exercised with
respect to a Project, the License Agreement for such Project shall control as to the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance and enforcement of the Project Patents for such Project and any other rights granted under such agreement.



  

	11.2.	 General Cooperation Duties. Bayer and Recursion agree to cooperate in all matters relating to the
filing, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of Project Patents. 


  

	 	11.2.1.	 Such cooperation shall in particular comprise the following assistance: 



 

	 	11.2.1.1.	 Execute all necessary documents respectively provide the necessary declarations to enable the other Party to

	12.	 CONFIDENTIALITY 



 

	12.1.	 Confidential Information. Each Party (“Disclosing Party”) may disclose to the other
Party (“Receiving Party”), and Receiving Party may acquire during the course and conduct of activities under the Agreement Confidential Information of Disclosing Party in connection with this Agreement. The term
“Confidential Information” means all confidential information or material in tangible and non-tangible form disclosed hereunder; including all technical and
non-technical information conveyed from one Party to the other in any form, electronic data, proprietary information, samples, Compounds, methods, formulas, processes, protocols, technologies and equipment

	12.2.	 Allocation of Confidential Information. The terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Project Plan and
the Project Results shall be considered to be Confidential Information of Recursion and Bayer and be treated confidential by both Parties, and each Party shall be deemed the Disclosing Party with respect thereto, provided, however, that any Project
Results that have been exclusively licensed to either Party shall be considered to be Confidential Information of this Party. 


  

	12.3.	 Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, Confidential Information does not include
information which: 


  

	 	12.3.1.	 is available to the public at the time of receipt by the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates from the

	 	12.3.3.	 is at the time of disclosure hereunder or later becomes public knowledge through no fault or omission of

or subject to a reduced Withholding Tax rate.

required by Applicable Law to pay Withholding Tax on account of payee to the tax authorities, payee shall reasonably assist paying party with regard to all procedures required in order to obtain reimbursement by tax authorities or, in case tax
authorities will not reimburse withholding tax to paying Party, payee will immediately refund the tax amount. 

  
 -22- 














	 	7.8	 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any assignment by a Party of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other Party results in the imposition of Withholding Tax on a payment to be made by such Party that would not have been imposed in the absence of such assignment (or in an increase in
Withholding Tax from the amount that would have been imposed in the absence of such assignment) and the Parties cannot reasonably cooperate as described above to eliminate such additional Withholding Tax, then the amount payable by the assigning
Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that the other Party receives a net amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such assignment occurred (taking into account any Withholding Tax on such additional
amounts), unless the payee has approved or requested this assignment. 


 To the extent relevant for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, the Parties intend to treat the payments contemplated by this Agreement as “foreign-derived deduction eligible income” within the meaning of Section 250 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the U.S.
Treasury regulations thereunder, and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to provide a certification or documentation to demonstrate eligibility for the deduction for “foreign-derived intangible income” pursuant to Section 250.

Indemnitees in connection with any claims, suits, investigations, actions, demands from or by a Third Party or resulting judgments arising out of or related to (i) the research, development, use or commercialization of the Products by Bayer or
its Affiliates or Sublicensee, (ii) any breach of this Agreement, including but not limited to any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein, by Bayer or its Affiliates or (iii) Bayer’s negligent performance or willful
misconduct under this Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent that the respective Losses are caused by breach, the negligence or willful misconduct of a Recursion Indemnitee. 



 

	 	10.2	 Recursion Indemnification. Recursion shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bayer and its
Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, trustees and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively and including Bayer the “Bayer Indemnitees”), against any Losses incurred by or imposed upon
any of the Bayer Indemnitees in connection with any claims, suits, investigations, actions, demands from or by a Third Party or resulting judgments arising out of or related to (i) Recursion’s or its Affiliates’ use of any rights
retained by Recursion under this Agreement, (ii) any breach of this Agreement, including but not limited to any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein, by Recursion or its Affiliates or (iii) Recursion’s negligent

	 	10.3	 Procedures. The Recursion or Bayer Indemnitee (referred to as applicable as
“Indemnitee”) agrees to provide the Party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) with prompt written notice of any claim, suit, action, demand, or judgment for which indemnification is
sought under this Agreement; provided that, an Indemnitee’s failure to do so shall not affect the rights of such Indemnitee unless, and then only to the extent that, such delay or failure is prejudicial to or otherwise adversely affects the
Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party agrees, at its own expense, to provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to defend against any such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall defend or handle the claim in consultation with the
Indemnified Party, and shall keep the Indemnified Party timely apprised of the status of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such

enter into any settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of any claim that has an adverse effect on the rights of any Indemnitee(s) hereunder, or admits any wrongdoing or fault by any Indemnitee(s), imposes on any
Indemnitee(s) any payment or other liability, or does not include a release of all claims against the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, provided however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.



  

	 	10.5	 Insurance. The Parties hereby agree to maintain a program of insurance and/or self-insurance which is
prudent and adequate to address any claim or liability which may arise out of the performance of their obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Bayer also shall ensure that any Sublicensee also maintains insurance sufficient to meaningfully protect
Recursion.

	13.	 PATENT PROSECUTION, MAINTENANCE & INFRINGEMENT 



 

	 	13.1	 Prosecution & Maintenance. 



 

	 	13.1.1	 Licensed Project IP Rights. As of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Bayer, at its sole expense,
shall lead the filing, prosecuting and maintaining of Licensed Project IP Rights. Licensed Project Patents shall be filed in Bayer’s and Recursion’s name and assigned to both Bayer and Recursion jointly and, with respect to Licensed
Project Patents filed prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, shall continue to reside in Bayer’s and Recursion’s name. 



Upon Recursion’s written request but at least once a year Bayer shall provide to Recursion a written report about the status of Licensed
Project IP Rights. 
  

	 	13.1.1.1	 Bayer shall be responsible for, either itself or through an outside patent counsel of its choice, filing,
prosecuting and maintaining any Licensed Project Patents and shall [***] cover the running costs therefor. Bayer or outside counsel shall care of the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Project Patents in close alignment with
Recursion, including discussion of patent scope, subsequent applications and other matters of patent strategy. Bayer, either itself or through their outside patent counsel, will keep Recursion informed with respect to the status of the filing,
prosecution (EP and US) and maintenance of the Licensed Project Patents. Bayer will also notify Recursion in writing about any relevant substantial correspondence including all newly filed patent applications of Licensed Project Patents, proposal of
countries in which the patent application shall be filed, notifications on allowance, issue or grant and office actions. Bayer shall have the right to apply for a Licensed Project Patent in any country or region of the world. Bayer shall not give up
substantial scope of the claims (unless a claim is determined to be invalid by the PTAB (Patent Trial and Appeal Board) at the US PTO, by a Board of Appeal at the EPO or by a national court) or abandon any Licensed Project Patents without
Recursion’s prior written consent. 



  
 -32- 














	 	13.1.1.2	 If Bayer decides to abandon, surrender, revoke, or invalidate or not to apply for or maintain any Licensed
Project Patent in any country or abandon any previously restricted or amended claims, Bayer will provide written notice to [***] days prior to the date such action is due of Bayer’s intent to abandon, surrender, revoke or invalidate or not
respond to any official correspondence that will result in the loss of rights (or with respect to Patents not yet filed, within [***] days after Recursion’s request to apply for such Patent Patent). Recursion may then, at Recursion’s sole
discretion and sole cost and expense, elect to prosecute and maintain the respective Licensed Project Patent. Recursion may accept such offer in writing within [***] days after having received the offer. Upon receipt of Recursion’s notice of
acceptance, Recursion shall forthwith be responsible for the rights and obligations and costs resulting from such Licensed Project Patent and such (former) Licensed Project Patent will cease to be a Licensed Project Patent under this Agreement. The
Parties shall take all measures necessary for the transfer of Bayer’s co-ownership share in any such (former) Licensed Project Patent to Recursion, and for the transfer of patent prosecution
responsibility of any such Licensed Project Patent from Bayer to Recursion; transfer costs imposed by respective patent attorneys and registration costs imposed by the respective public registers shall be borne by Recursion and all rights granted to
Bayer under this Agreement to such Licensed Project Patents shall cease. In case Recursion refuses the offer or does not provide its acceptance in writing within the [***] days period, Bayer has the right to abandon or to not apply for the offered
Licensed Project Patent. Bayer shall not be liable to Recursion for ultimate discontinuation of such Licensed Project Patents, except in the case that Bayer intentionally ignores said Recursion’s acceptance notice, provided, however, that Bayer
has timely received such acceptance notice and discontinuation of the respective Licensed Project Patents is irreversible. 


  

	 	13.1.2	 Background IP Rights and Background Know-How. Recursion shall
have the sole discretion in filing, prosecuting and maintaining of Recursion Background IP Rights and Background Know-How which title shall reside in Recursion. 



  
 -33- 













 Upon Bayer’s written request but at least once a year Recursion shall provide to Bayer
a written report about the status of Recursion’s Background IP Rights and Background Know-How licensed under Section 2.1.2. 
  

	 	13.1.2.1	 If there is an increase in any governmental, filing or other fees at the United States Patents and Trademark
Office or foreign equivalent due to any license to Bayer of the Background IP Rights under Section 2.1.2, Bayer agrees to reimburse Recursion for the difference in fees (for example, the difference between filing as a small entity versus a
large entity at the United States Patents and Trademark Office). 


  

	 	13.1.2.2	 Further, in the case of any filing of Background IP Rights licensed under Section 2.1.2 outside the US,
Bayer may request that Recursion expand the patent filings to additional jurisdictions beyond the US, which Recursion may do in its sole discretion, and Bayer agrees to reimburse Recursion for those non-US
patent filings requested in writing by Bayer. 


  

	 	13.1.2.3	 If Recursion considers to abandon or not to file or maintain any Background IP Rights licensed under
Section 2.1.2 in any country or abandon any previously restricted or amended claims, Recursion will provide written notice to Bayer    [***] days prior to the date such action is due of Recursion’s intent to abandon or
not respond to any official correspondence that will result in the loss of rights. The Parties shall discuss whether Bayer could participate in the ongoing maintenance or prosecution costs of such Background IP Rights. Recursion shall not be liable
to Bayer for ultimate discontinuation of any Background IP Rights. 


  

	 	13.2	 Notification of Infringement by Third Party. If any Licensed Project Patent or Background IP Right is
infringed or might be infringed by a Third Party, the Party first having knowledge thereof shall promptly notify the other Party in writing. As used in this Section 13.2, “knowledge” shall mean the actual knowledge of the officers and
senior employees of a Party performing activities under this Agreement or for the Project. 



  
 -34- 














	 	13.3	 Enforcement of Licensed Project Patents. 



 

	 	13.3.1	 Bayer shall have the first right (but not the obligation), by counsel of its own choice and at its sole
expense, to institute, prosecute and control the enforcement or defense of any of the Licensed Project Patents to abate any infringement thereof. Prior to undertaking any action to enforce such Licensed Project Patents, Bayer shall notify Recursion
in writing. To the extent possible Recursion shall be given reasonable time to provide its comments to Bayer. Recursion shall further have the right at its own expense, to be represented in any action by counsel of its own choice. However, should
Recursion partake in any such action, Bayer shall have control of the proceeding and shall have final say on all decisions related thereto. In no event shall Bayer admit the invalidity of, or after exercising its right to bring and control an action
under this Section 13.3.1, fail to defend the validity of, any Licensed Project Patent without Recursion’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 



 

	 	13.3.2	 In the event that Bayer fails to institute an action or proceeding or otherwise take appropriate action to
abate such infringement within a period of [***] after taking notice of such infringement, Recursion shall have the right (but not the obligation) to institute and/or prosecute and control such an action or proceeding in its name with respect to
such infringement at its sole expense and by counsel of its choice (such permission not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and Bayer shall have the right to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense.
However, should Bayer partake in any such action, Recursion shall retain control of the proceeding and shall have final say on all decisions related thereto. 


  


	 	13.3.3	 The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the planning and execution of any such action to
enforce the respective Licensed Project Patents (including the obligation to be named or joined as a party in a lawsuit, as applicable). Each Party initiating an action or proceeding agrees to provide reasonable information to the other Party, at
this Party’s request, about such action or proceeding. 


  

	 	13.3.4	 All monies recovered upon the final judgment or settlement of any such suit or action to enforce the respective
Licensed Project Patents in the Territory shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to reimburse the costs and Losses of the Party bringing suit, then to the costs and Losses, if any, of the other Party; (ii) any
amounts remaining shall be treated allocated [***]. The Party that controls the prosecution of a given suit or action shall also have the right to control settlement of such suit or action. If one Party controls and intends to settle the prosecution
of a given suit or action, it shall 



  
 -35- 














	 	
provide the other Party reasonably in advance written information about such intention and about the terms pertaining to the settlement. Only if the settlement would materially and adversely
impact the interest of the non-controlling Party, in non-controlling Party’s opinion, the Party in control of the suit or action shall obtain the non-controlling Party’s consent prior to entering into the settlement. Any amounts received in settlement of any action shall be apportioned between the Parties in the same manner as set forth in this
Section 13.3.4. 

  

	 	13.4	 Enforcement of non-exclusively licensed Background IP Rights.



  

	 	13.4.1	 With regard to Background IP Rights which have been non-exclusively
licensed under this Agreement, Recursion shall have the sole right to institute, prosecute and control the enforcement or defense of any of the Background IP Rights to abate any infringement thereof. 



 

	 	13.4.2	 Bayer shall reasonably cooperate in any such litigation at Recursion’s expense. 



 

	 	13.5	 Trademarks 


  

	 	13.5.1	 Bayer shall be responsible for the selection, registration, maintenance and defence of any Trademark which it
employs in connection with the marketing, sale or distribution in the Territory of the Products. Bayer shall own and control such Trademarks and pay all relevant costs thereto. 



 

	 	13.5.2	 Recursion recognizes the exclusive ownership by Bayer of any proprietary Bayer name, logotype, Trademark or
trade dress furnished by Bayer (e.g. the name “Bayer” and the “Bayer Cross”) for use in connection with the marketing, sale or distribution of the Products in the Territory. Recursion shall not, either while this Agreement is in
effect, or at any time thereafter, register, use or challenge or assist others to challenge the Trademark, the Bayer name, logotype and trade dress furnished by Bayer or attempt to obtain any right in or to any such name, logotype, trademarks or
trade dress confusingly similar for the marketing of the Product as defined in this Agreement or any other goods and products, notwithstanding that such goods or products have a different use or are dissimilar to the Products as defined in this
Agreement. 


  

	 	13.5.3	 Only Bayer will be authorized to initiate at its own discretion legal proceedings against any infringement or
threatened infringement of the Trademark in the Territory. 



  
 -36- 














	 	13.5.4	 Bayer shall be responsible for the registration, hosting, maintenance and defence of the Domain Names under all
generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) and –within the Territory- under all relevant country code Top Level Domains (ccTLD). For the avoidance of doubt Bayer is allowed to register such Domain Names in its own name, to host on its own servers,
maintain and defend the Domain Names and use them for websites. 


  

	14.	 DISPUTE RESOLUTION 



 

	 	14.1	 Mandatory Procedures. The Parties agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
including its termination, (a “Dispute”) shall be resolved solely by means of the procedures set forth in this Section 14, and that such procedures constitute legally binding obligations that are an essential provision of this
Agreement. 


  

	 	14.2	 Preliminary Injunctions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, including without limitation
Section 14.3, to the contrary, a Party may, at any time, seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to prevent immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage on a
provisional basis, pending the decision of the arbitrator(s) or experts on the ultimate merits of any Dispute. 


  

	 	14.3	 Dispute Resolution Procedure.  



Dispute Resolution. Each Party may notify the other Party of a Dispute and the issue shall be referred to a senior executive of each
Party who shall meet within [***] Business Days (in person, by means of telephone conference, videoconference or other means of communications) and attempt in good faith to resolve such issue (subject only to internal approvals (e.g. by the board of
directors), if required by Recursion’s or Bayer’s organization). All such discussions shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such executives cannot resolve such matter within [***] Business Days after their meeting, then, either Party may initiate proceedings in accordance with the Sections 14.4 to 14.7 below. 

  
 -37- 














	 	14.4	 Arbitration.  



 

	 	14.4.1	 Subject to Sections 14.5 and 14.6 any Disputes shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the
International Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules”) by a panel of three arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules, save that the third arbitrator, who will act as president of the arbitral tribunal, shall not be appointed
by the International Court of Arbitration, but by the two arbitrators which have been appointed by either of the Parties in accordance with Article 12 para 4 of said Rules, as may be updated. 



 

	 	14.4.2	 The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, U.S., and the language to be used in any such proceeding

	 	14.4.3	 Without limiting any other remedies that may be available under law, the arbitrator(s) shall have no authority
to award punitive damages. Any final award by the arbitrator may be entered by either Party in any court having appropriate jurisdiction for applicable orders of enforcement. Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required
by law, neither a Party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. 



 

	 	14.5	 Patent Disputes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any and all issues
regarding the validity and enforceability of any Patent (“Patent Matters”) shall be determined in a court or other tribunal, as the case may be, of competent jurisdiction under the applicable patent laws of such country with a jury trial
being however excluded. If such Dispute involves both Patent Matters and other matters, the arbitrators or experts as applicable will have the right to stay the arbitration or expert determination until determination of Patent Matters material to
the resolution of the Dispute as to other matters is resolved. 


  

	 	14.6	 Expert Determination for Specific Matters. Subject to Section 14.5 and notwithstanding
Section 14.4, the Parties may agree to submit any Dispute which subject matter relates to a scientific or technical assessment or the determination of the amount of royalty or milestone payments or a license fee to administered expert
proceedings in accordance with the Rules for the Administration of Expert Proceedings of the International Chamber of Commerce. The Parties agree that in such case the findings of the expert shall be contractually binding upon them in the absence of
manifest error or fraud and that they will agree with the expert on the terms of his appointment.

each Party shall continue to perform its undisputed obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that a Party may terminate this Agreement in accordance
with Section 15.2 to 15.3 or suspend performance of its undisputed obligations during any period in which the other Party fails or refuses to perform its undisputed obligations or during any period in which the issue in dispute is payments due
under this Agreement. 


  

	15.	 TERM AND TERMINATION 



 

	 	15.1	 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement and shall
continue on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis until the expiration of the

Agreement completely or partially with respect to a specific Product or country by giving Recursion written notice of at least [***] days in advance of the effective date of termination selected by Bayer. Bayer shall pay all sums respectively due

Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon delivery of written notice to the breaching Party, provided that the notifying Party provides notice of such breach to the breaching Party specifying the nature of the alleged breach and
that such breach has not been cured within [***] days after such notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the notice and cure period as provided above shall be [***] days for breaches of any payment obligation under this Agreement, provided
however, that if a portion of the invoice is in dispute, the undisputed portion shall be paid and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect subject to Section 14.7 and the disputed portion shall be resolved in accordance with
Section 14 above. In the event of termination by Recursion pursuant to this Section 15.3, Bayer, its Affiliates shall cease all development, manufacture and commercialization of the Licensed Project Compounds, Derivatives and Products.

	 	15.4	 Consequences of Expiration or Termination.  



 

	 	15.4.1	 Consequences of Termination for Convenience by Bayer or Termination for Cause by Recursion. In the event

	 	15.4.1.1	 The licenses granted hereunder by Recursion to Bayer under the Licensed Rights shall, subject to the last
sentence of Section 14.3, cease completely or if applicable, partially with respect to the specific Product(s) or country for which this Agreement was terminated. 



 

	 	15.4.1.2	 For the Licensed Rights, as far as affected by the respective termination according to Section 15.2 or
15.3 and except to the extent that exclusive rights have been granted to the other Party, each Party shall have the right to use, practice, develop and exploit their respective share of the affected Licensed Rights from the Project solely for
internal research and development purposes, including the right to sublicense its interest in the Licensed Rights for such purposes, without the consent of the other Party and without a duty of accounting to the other Party provided, however,
that neither Party may use any Project Know-How or allow its sublicensee the use of any Project Know-How for a Competing Project except to the extent expressly permitted
in the applicable license agreement between the Parties, and Bayer may not use the Licensed Rights with respect to Licensed Project Compounds, Derivatives, Enabled Compounds or Products. Where such consent is required by Applicable Law, it is deemed
hereby granted and where a duty of accounting to the other Party exists by Applicable Law, such duty is hereby waived. Where the Applicable Law in any country prevents that such consent or waiver is given in advance the Parties shall be obligated to
give their consent or waiver at the given point in time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall have the right to assign the entire Licensed Rights or entire rights to the Licensed Rights without the other Party’s prior written
consent (except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Agreement in accordance with Section 16.4). 



  
 -40- 













 For the avoidance of doubt, if the Licensed Rights that are affected by the respective
termination of this Agreement are also exclusively licensed by Recursion to Bayer under a separate license agreement, Bayer shall maintain the exclusive usage rights regarding such Licensed Rights in accordance with such other agreement and
Recursion shall only be entitled to use such Licensed Rights in accordance with the provisions of such other agreement and any other license granted to Recursion, as applicable. 

 

	 	15.4.1.3	 The license granted hereunder by Recursion to Bayer under the Background IP Rights and Background Know-How shall cease completely or if applicable, partially with respect to the specific Product(s) or country for which Bayer terminated this Agreement according to Section 15.2. 



 

	 	15.4.1.4	 For the avoidance of doubt, termination of this Agreement does not affect the use rights under
Section 10.2 of the Collaboration Agreement. 


  

	 	15.4.1.5	 To the extent requested by Recursion, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions for an
exclusive, sub-licensable and royalty-bearing license under Bayer’s rights, title and interest under the Licensed Rights and a non-exclusive royalty-bearing license
to other Reversion Technology to do or have done research on, develop or have developed, make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold, offer for sale, have offered for sale and import and have imported Product(s), or if applicable, all
Product(s) or country(ies) for which Bayer terminated this Agreement according to Section 15.2, in each case, in the Field in the Territory. 


  

	 	15.4.1.6	 With respect to Products for which this Agreement was terminated, Recursion herewith grants Bayer a license for
a period of [***] months starting from the date the respective termination becomes effective to sell off its inventory, with respect to which Recursion does not exercise its rights under Section 14.5.1.5, of Products affected by the respective
termination that are and either manufactured prior to the effective date of the respective termination or manufactured thereafter to fulfil such orders received by Bayer or its Affiliates or their Sublicensees prior to the submission of the




  
 -41- 














	 	
respective termination notice. Bayer shall remain obliged to pay Recursion the milestones and royalties accruing during such sell-off period and the
respective provisions regarding milestones and royalty payments and reporting set out herein shall continue to apply during such period. After said selloff period, Bayer and its Affiliates shall cease the sale of the Products for which this
Agreement was terminated. 

  

	 	15.4.1.7	 Bayer shall be responsible, at its own cost and expense, for the wind-down of Bayer’s and its

Licensed Rights shall cease immediately, provided, however, that Bayer shall continue to have such license under any Licensed Project Know-How within the Licensed Rights, on a
non-exclusive, fully paid-up basis. 


  

	 	15.4.2.2	 Each Party shall have the right to freely use, practice, develop and exploit the respective affected Licensed
Rights of the respective Project, including the right to sublicense its interest in the Licensed Rights, without the consent of the other Party and without a duty of accounting to the other Party. Where such consent is required by Applicable Law, it
is deemed hereby granted and where a duty of accounting to the other Party exists by Applicable Law, such duty is hereby waived. Where the Applicable Law in any country prevents that such consent or waiver is given in advance the Parties shall be
obligated to give their consent or waiver at the given point in time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall have the right to assign the entire Licensed Rights or entire rights to the Licensed Rights without the other Party’s prior
written consent (except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Agreement in accordance with Section 16.4). To the extent that the use of the Licensed Rights by a Party requires a license to the background rights of the other Party,
the Parties will in good faith discuss whether and, provided that a license grant is agreeable, under what terms and conditions such license may be granted, always provided that the licensing party is in Control of the respective background rights.




  
 -42- 














	 	15.4.2.3	 The licenses granted hereunder by Recursion to Bayer under Recursion’s Background IP Rights shall cease

Agreement. 


  

	 	15.4.2.4	 For the avoidance of doubt, expiration of this Agreement does not affect the use rights under Section 10.2
of the Collaboration Agreement. 


  

	 	15.5	 Consequences of Termination of this Agreement by Bayer for Breach by Recursion. 



  

	 	15.5.1	 In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Bayer according to Section 15.3: 



 

	 	15.5.1.1	 Unless Bayer expressly terminates the licenses granted in Section 2.1, the license granted under
Section 2.1.1 by Recursion to Bayer under Recursion’s rights, title and interest in the Licensed Rights shall continue in each country, until expiration of the Royalty Term in that country and Bayer shall continue to pay Recursion the
milestone and royalty payments under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whereby all such payments shall be [***] reduced after the effective date of termination and Bayer’s associated reporting obligations hereunder
shall also continue. 


  

	 	15.5.1.2	 The license granted pursuant to Section 2.1.2 by Recursion to Bayer under Recursion’s Background IP
Rights and Background Know-how shall continue in each country, until expiration of the Royalty Term in that country unless Bayer expressly terminates the licenses granted in Section 2.1.1, in which case

	 	15.5.1.3	 For the avoidance of doubt, termination of this Agreement does not affect the use rights under
Section 10.2 of the Collaboration Agreement.

its Sublicensees of such termination. Upon notice by Recursion of its intent to terminate (or, if notice is not required, upon termination) this Agreement, Bayer shall no longer have the authority to grant further sublicenses. With respect to any
rights previously granted by Bayer under any Sublicense hereunder any Sublicensee, so long as they are not in default under such Sublicense, may elect to continue its Sublicense provided that (i) the Sublicense will be modified as reasonably
necessary to accommodate the functional and structural differences between Recursion and Bayer; (ii) Recursion is bound only to the extent under terms no less economically favorable to Recursion than existed when this Agreement and the
Sublicense were in effect; and (iii) in no event will Recursion be obligated in any manner that it was not to Bayer hereunder and that the terms of such license agreement will not impose any representations, warranties, expenses or liabilities
on Recursion that are not included in this Agreement. Sublicensee will notify Recursion in writing, within [***] days after the Sublicensee’s receipt of notice of such termination, of its election, and of its agreement to assume in respect to
Recursion all the obligations (including obligations for payment) contained in the Sublicense with Bayer and all the obligations in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Bayer retains under this Agreement or the Collaboration
Agreement after termination of this Agreement any rights to grant sublicenses, such rights remain unimpaired. 


  

	 	15.7	 Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or liabilities of
either Party that have accrued prior to such termination or expiry. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including in this Section 15), all other rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate upon
termination or expiration of this Agreement. 


 The following sections shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement along with any other provisions which by their context are intended to survive: Sections 1, 7, 8 (for the period set forth therein), 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 10, 11 (for the period set forth therein), 14, 15, 16, and for the period set forth in

	 	1.50	 “Net Sales” means the gross amount [***] for sales of a Product (or Combination Product) to Third
Parties less customary and reasonable deductions like: value-added tax or customs duties; allowances or credits upon rejections or returns of Product (or Combination Product), including recalls or damaged goods; quantity, early payment, cash
settlement and other trade discounts; rebates, chargebacks or premiums; fees, discounts or other charges paid as required by government or public healthcare legislation, as reasonably allocated to the Product; and a [***] percent ([***]%) lump sum
of the gross amount invoiced to cover transportation, freight, insurance, distribution, shipping, packaging and handling costs as well as a [***] percent ([***]%) lump sum of the gross amount invoiced to cover bad debt charges.



 In the event that a Product is sold in the form of a Combination Product, then, for the purpose of calculating
royalties due, Net Sales will be adjusted by multiplying Net Sales of such Combination Product (as calculated in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 1.50) by the fraction A/(A+B) where A is the gross per unit invoice price of
the Product, if sold separately, and B is the gross per unit invoice price of all other active ingredient(s) in the combination, if sold separately. 

If, on a country-by-country basis, the other active
ingredient(s) in the combination are not sold separately in that country, Net Sales will be adjusted by multiplying by the fraction A/C where A is the gross per unit invoice price of the Product, if sold separately, and C is the gross per unit
invoice price of the Combination Product. In each case, the gross per unit invoice price shall be those applicable during the relevant Quarter. If sales of both the Product and the other active ingredient(s) in the same formulation and dosage in a
comparable indication did not occur in such Quarter, in such country, or on a country-by-country basis, neither the Product nor the other active ingredient(s) of the
Combination Product are sold separately in such country, then the fraction by which the Net Sales value shall be multiplied shall be determined between the Parties in good faith.

or subject to a reduced Withholding Tax rate. 
 Any withheld Withholding Tax shall be treated as having been paid by paying Party to payee
for all purposes of this Agreement. Paying Party shall timely forward to the payee the tax receipts certifying the payments of Withholding Tax on behalf of payee. In case paying Party must pay, but cannot deduct the Withholding Tax due to fulfilment

required by Applicable Law to pay Withholding Tax on account of payee to the tax authorities, payee shall reasonably assist paying party with regard to all procedures required in order to obtain reimbursement by tax authorities or, in case tax
authorities will not reimburse withholding tax to paying Party, payee will immediately refund the tax amount. 

  
 -22- 














	 	7.8	 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any assignment by a Party of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other Party results in the imposition of Withholding Tax on a payment to be made by such Party that would not have been imposed in the absence of such assignment (or in an increase in
Withholding Tax from the amount that would have been imposed in the absence of such assignment) and the Parties cannot reasonably cooperate as described above to eliminate such additional Withholding Tax, then the amount payable by the assigning
Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that the other Party receives a net amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such assignment occurred (taking into account any Withholding Tax on such additional
amounts), unless the payee has approved or requested this assignment. 


 To the extent relevant for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, the Parties intend to treat the payments contemplated by this Agreement as “foreign-derived deduction eligible income” within the meaning of Section 250 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the U.S.
Treasury regulations thereunder, and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to provide a certification or documentation to demonstrate eligibility for the deduction for “foreign-derived intangible income” pursuant to Section 250.

	 	13.1.1	 Licensed Project IP Rights. As of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Bayer, at its sole expense,
shall lead the filing, prosecuting and maintaining of Licensed Project IP Rights. Licensed Project Patents shall be filed in Bayer’s and Recursion’s name and assigned to both Bayer and Recursion jointly and, with respect to Licensed
Project Patents filed prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, shall continue to reside in Bayer’s and Recursion’s name. 



Upon Recursion’s written request but at least once a year Bayer shall provide to Recursion a written report about the status of Licensed
Project IP Rights. 
  

	 	13.1.1.1	 Bayer shall be responsible for, either itself or through an outside patent counsel of its choice, filing,
prosecuting and maintaining any Licensed Project Patents and shall [***] cover the running costs therefor. Bayer or outside counsel shall care of the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Project Patents in close alignment with
Recursion, including discussion of patent scope, subsequent applications and other matters of patent strategy. Bayer, either itself or through their outside patent counsel, will keep Recursion informed with respect to the status of the filing,
prosecution (EP and US) and maintenance of the Licensed Project Patents. Bayer will also notify Recursion in writing about any relevant substantial correspondence including all newly filed patent applications of Licensed Project Patents, proposal of
countries in which the patent application shall be filed, notifications on allowance, issue or grant and office actions. Bayer shall have the right to apply for a Licensed Project Patent in any country or region of the world. Bayer shall not give up
substantial scope of the claims (unless a claim is determined to be invalid by the PTAB (Patent Trial and Appeal Board) at the US PTO, by a Board of Appeal at the EPO or by a national court) or abandon any Licensed Project Patents without
Recursion’s prior written consent. 



  
 -32- 














	 	13.1.1.2	 If Bayer decides to abandon, surrender, revoke, or invalidate or not to apply for or maintain any Licensed
Project Patent in any country or abandon any previously restricted or amended claims, Bayer will provide written notice to Recursion [***] days prior to the date such action is due of Bayer’s intent to abandon, surrender, revoke or invalidate
or not respond to any official correspondence that will result in the loss of rights (or with respect to Patents not yet filed, within [***] days after Recursion’s request to apply for such Patent Patent). Recursion may then, at
Recursion’s sole discretion and sole cost and expense, elect to prosecute and maintain the respective Licensed Project Patent. Recursion may accept such offer in writing within [***] days after having received the offer. Upon receipt of
Recursion’s notice of acceptance, Recursion shall forthwith be responsible for the rights and obligations and costs resulting from such Licensed Project Patent and such (former) Licensed Project Patent will cease to be a Licensed Project Patent
under this Agreement. The Parties shall take all measures necessary for the transfer of Bayer’s co-ownership share in any such (former) Licensed Project Patent to Recursion, and for the transfer of patent
prosecution responsibility of any such Licensed Project Patent from Bayer to Recursion; transfer costs imposed by respective patent attorneys and registration costs imposed by the respective public registers shall be borne by Recursion and all
rights granted to Bayer under this Agreement to such Licensed Project Patents shall cease. In case Recursion refuses the offer or does not provide its acceptance in writing within the [***] days period, Bayer has the right to abandon or to not apply
for the offered Licensed Project Patent. Bayer shall not be liable to Recursion for ultimate discontinuation of such Licensed Project Patents, except in the case that Bayer intentionally ignores said Recursion’s acceptance notice, provided,
however, that Bayer has timely received such acceptance notice and discontinuation of the respective Licensed Project Patents is irreversible. 


  

	 	13.1.2	 Background IP Rights and Background Know-How. Recursion shall
have the sole discretion in filing, prosecuting and maintaining of Recursion Background IP Rights and Background Know-How which title shall reside in Recursion. 



  
 -33-

a written report about the status of Recursion’s Background IP Rights and Background Know-How licensed under Section 2.1.2. 
  

	 	13.1.2.1	 If there is an increase in any governmental, filing or other fees at the United States Patents and Trademark
Office or foreign equivalent due to any license to Bayer of the Background IP Rights under Section 2.1.2, Bayer agrees to reimburse Recursion for the difference in fees (for example, the difference between filing as a small entity versus a
large entity at the United States Patents and Trademark Office). 


  

	 	13.1.2.2	 Further, in the case of any filing of Background IP Rights licensed under Section 2.1.2 outside the US,
Bayer may request that Recursion expand the patent filings to additional jurisdictions beyond the US, which Recursion may do in its sole discretion, and Bayer agrees to reimburse Recursion for those non-US
patent filings requested in writing by Bayer. 


  

	 	13.1.2.3	 If Recursion considers to abandon or not to file or maintain any Background IP Rights licensed under
Section 2.1.2 in any country or abandon any previously restricted or amended claims, Recursion will provide written notice to Bayer [***] days prior to the date such action is due of Recursion’s intent to abandon or not respond to any
official correspondence that will result in the loss of rights. The Parties shall discuss whether Bayer could participate in the ongoing maintenance or prosecution costs of such Background IP Rights. Recursion shall not be liable to Bayer for
ultimate discontinuation of any Background IP Rights. 


  

	 	13.2	 Notification of Infringement by Third Party. If any Licensed Project Patent or Background IP Right is
infringed or might be infringed by a Third Party, the Party first having knowledge thereof shall promptly notify the other Party in writing. As used in this Section 13.2, “knowledge” shall mean the actual knowledge of the officers and
senior employees of a Party performing activities under this Agreement or for the Project. 



  
 -34- 














	 	13.3	 Enforcement of Licensed Project Patents. 



 

	 	13.3.1	 Bayer shall have the first right (but not the obligation), by counsel of its own choice and at its sole
expense, to institute, prosecute and control the enforcement or defense of any of the Licensed Project Patents to abate any infringement thereof. Prior to undertaking any action to enforce such Licensed Project Patents, Bayer shall notify Recursion
in writing. To the extent possible Recursion shall be given reasonable time to provide its comments to Bayer. Recursion shall further have the right at its own expense, to be represented in any action by counsel of its own choice. However, should
Recursion partake in any such action, Bayer shall have control of the proceeding and shall have final say on all decisions related thereto. In no event shall Bayer admit the invalidity of, or after exercising its right to bring and control an action
under this Section 13.3.1, fail to defend the validity of, any Licensed Project Patent without Recursion’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 



 

	 	13.3.2	 In the event that Bayer fails to institute an action or proceeding or otherwise take appropriate action to
abate such infringement within a period of [***] days after taking notice of such infringement, Recursion shall have the right (but not the obligation) to institute and/or prosecute and control such an action or proceeding in its name with respect
to such infringement at its sole expense and by counsel of its choice (such permission not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and Bayer shall have the right to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice and at its own
expense. However, should Bayer partake in any such action, Recursion shall retain control of the proceeding and shall have final say on all decisions related thereto. 



 

	 	13.3.3	 The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the planning and execution of any such action to
enforce the respective Licensed Project Patents (including the obligation to be named or joined as a party in a lawsuit, as applicable). Each Party initiating an action or proceeding agrees to provide reasonable information to the other Party, at
this Party’s request, about such action or proceeding. 


  

	 	13.3.4	 All monies recovered upon the final judgment or settlement of any such suit or action to enforce the respective
Licensed Project Patents in the Territory shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to reimburse the costs and Losses of the Party bringing suit, then to the costs and Losses, if any, of the other Party; (ii) any
amounts remaining shall be treated allocated [***]. The Party that controls the prosecution of a given suit or action shall also have the right to control settlement of such suit or action. If one Party controls and intends to settle the prosecution
of a given suit or action, it shall 



  
 -35- 














	 	
provide the other Party reasonably in advance written information about such intention and about the terms pertaining to the settlement. Only if the settlement would materially and adversely
impact the interest of the non-controlling Party, in non-controlling Party’s opinion, the Party in control of the suit or action shall obtain the non-controlling Party’s consent prior to entering into the settlement. Any amounts received in settlement of any action shall be apportioned between the Parties in the same manner as set forth in this
Section 13.3.4. 

  

	 	13.4	 Enforcement of non-exclusively licensed Background IP Rights.



  

	 	13.4.1	 With regard to Background IP Rights which have been non-exclusively
licensed under this Agreement, Recursion shall have the sole right to institute, prosecute and control the enforcement or defense of any of the Background IP Rights to abate any infringement thereof. 



 

	 	13.4.2	 Bayer shall reasonably cooperate in any such litigation at Recursion’s expense. 



 

	 	13.5	 Trademarks 


  

	 	13.5.1	 Bayer shall be responsible for the selection, registration, maintenance and defence of any Trademark which it
employs in connection with the marketing, sale or distribution in the Territory of the Products. Bayer shall own and control such Trademarks and pay all relevant costs thereto. 



 

	 	13.5.2	 Recursion recognizes the exclusive ownership by Bayer of any proprietary Bayer name, logotype, Trademark or
trade dress furnished by Bayer (e.g. the name “Bayer” and the “Bayer Cross”) for use in connection with the marketing, sale or distribution of the Products in the Territory. Recursion shall not, either while this Agreement is in
effect, or at any time thereafter, register, use or challenge or assist others to challenge the Trademark, the Bayer name, logotype and trade dress furnished by Bayer or attempt to obtain any right in or to any such name, logotype, trademarks or
trade dress confusingly similar for the marketing of the Product as defined in this Agreement or any other goods and products, notwithstanding that such goods or products have a different use or are dissimilar to the Products as defined in this
Agreement. 


  

	 	13.5.3	 Only Bayer will be authorized to initiate at its own discretion legal proceedings against any infringement or
threatened infringement of the Trademark in the Territory. 



  
 -36- 














	 	13.5.4	 Bayer shall be responsible for the registration, hosting, maintenance and defence of the Domain Names under all
generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) and –within the Territory- under all relevant country code Top Level Domains (ccTLD). For the avoidance of doubt Bayer is allowed to register such Domain Names in its own name, to host on its own servers,
maintain and defend the Domain Names and use them for websites.

Agreement. 


  

	 	14.2	 Preliminary Injunctions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, including without limitation
Section 14.3, to the contrary, a Party may, at any time, seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to prevent immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage on a
provisional basis, pending the decision of the arbitrator(s) or experts on the ultimate merits of any Dispute. 


  

	 	14.3	 Dispute Resolution Procedure.  



Dispute Resolution. Each Party may notify the other Party of a Dispute and the issue shall be referred to a senior executive of each
Party who shall meet within [***] Business Days (in person, by means of telephone conference, videoconference or other means of communications) and attempt in good faith to resolve such issue (subject only to internal approvals (e.g. by the board of
directors), if required by Recursion’s or Bayer’s organization). All such discussions shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such executives cannot resolve such matter within [***] Business Days after their meeting, then, either Party may initiate proceedings in accordance with the Sections 14.4 to 14.7 below. 

  
 -37- 














	 	14.4	 Arbitration.  



 

	 	14.4.1	 Subject to Sections 14.5 and 14.6 any Disputes shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the
International Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules”) by a panel of three arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules, save that the third arbitrator, who will act as president of the arbitral tribunal, shall not be appointed
by the International Court of Arbitration, but by the two arbitrators which have been appointed by either of the Parties in accordance with Article 12 para 4 of said Rules, as may be updated. 



 

	 	14.4.2	 The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York, U.S., and the language to be used in any such proceeding

	 	14.4.3	 Without limiting any other remedies that may be available under law, the arbitrator(s) shall have no authority
to award punitive damages. Any final award by the arbitrator may be entered by either Party in any court having appropriate jurisdiction for applicable orders of enforcement. Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required
by law, neither a Party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. 



 

	 	14.5	 Patent Disputes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any and all issues
regarding the validity and enforceability of any Patent (“Patent Matters”) shall be determined in a court or other tribunal, as the case may be, of competent jurisdiction under the applicable patent laws of such country with a jury trial

	 	14.7	 Performance to Continue. Without limiting either Party’s rights under Section 15.2 to 15.3,
each Party shall continue to perform its undisputed obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that a Party may terminate this Agreement in accordance

	15.	 TERM AND TERMINATION 



 

	 	15.1	 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement and shall

	 	15.2	 Termination for Convenience by Bayer. Bayer may without cause and for any reason terminate this
Agreement completely or partially with respect to a specific Product or country by giving Recursion written notice of at least [***] days in advance of the effective date of termination selected by Bayer. Bayer shall pay all sums respectively due

	 	15.4	 Consequences of Expiration or Termination.  



 

	 	15.4.1	 Consequences of Termination for Convenience by Bayer or Termination for Cause by Recursion. In the event
that this Agreement is terminated by Bayer for convenience in accordance with Section 15.2 or by Recursion for breach in accordance with Section 15.3: 



 

	 	15.4.1.1	 The licenses granted hereunder by Recursion to Bayer under the Licensed Rights shall, subject to the last
sentence of Section 14.3, cease completely or if applicable, partially with respect to the specific Product(s) or country for which this Agreement was terminated. 



 

	 	15.4.1.2	 For the Licensed Rights, as far as affected by the respective termination according to Section 15.2 or
15.3 and except to the extent that exclusive rights have been granted to the other Party, each Party shall have the right to use, practice, develop and exploit their respective share of the affected Licensed Rights from the Project solely for
internal research and development purposes, including the right to sublicense its interest in the Licensed Rights for such purposes, without the consent of the other Party and without a duty of accounting to the other Party provided, however,
that neither Party may use any Project Know-How or allow its sublicensee the use of any Project Know-How for a Competing Project except to the extent expressly permitted
in the applicable license agreement between the Parties, and Bayer may not use the Licensed Rights with respect to Licensed Project Compounds, Derivatives, Enabled Compounds or Products. Where such consent is required by Applicable Law, it is deemed
hereby granted and where a duty of accounting to the other Party exists by Applicable Law, such duty is hereby waived. Where the Applicable Law in any country prevents that such consent or waiver is given in advance the Parties shall be obligated to
give their consent or waiver at the given point in time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall have the right to assign the entire Licensed Rights or entire rights to the Licensed Rights without the other Party’s prior written
consent (except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Agreement in accordance with Section 16.4). 



  
 -40- 













 For the avoidance of doubt, if the Licensed Rights that are affected by the respective
termination of this Agreement are also exclusively licensed by Recursion to Bayer under a separate license agreement, Bayer shall maintain the exclusive usage rights regarding such Licensed Rights in accordance with such other agreement and
Recursion shall only be entitled to use such Licensed Rights in accordance with the provisions of such other agreement and any other license granted to Recursion, as applicable. 

 

	 	15.4.1.3	 The license granted hereunder by Recursion to Bayer under the Background IP Rights and Background Know-How shall cease completely or if applicable, partially with respect to the specific Product(s) or country for which Bayer terminated this Agreement according to Section 15.2. 



 

	 	15.4.1.4	 For the avoidance of doubt, termination of this Agreement does not affect the use rights under
Section 10.2 of the Collaboration Agreement. 


  

	 	15.4.1.5	 To the extent requested by Recursion, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions for an
exclusive, sub-licensable and royalty-bearing license under Bayer’s rights, title and interest under the Licensed Rights and a non-exclusive royalty-bearing license
to other Reversion Technology to do or have done research on, develop or have developed, make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold, offer for sale, have offered for sale and import and have imported Product(s), or if applicable, all
Product(s) or country(ies) for which Bayer terminated this Agreement according to Section 15.2, in each case, in the Field in the Territory. 


  

	 	15.4.1.6	 With respect to Products for which this Agreement was terminated, Recursion herewith grants Bayer a license for
a period of [***] months starting from the date the respective termination becomes effective to sell off its inventory, with respect to which Recursion does not exercise its rights under Section 14.5.1.5, of Products affected by the respective
termination that are and either manufactured prior to the effective date of the respective termination or manufactured thereafter to fulfil such orders received by Bayer or its Affiliates or their Sublicensees prior to the submission of the




  
 -41- 













 
respective termination notice. Bayer shall remain obliged to pay Recursion the milestones and royalties accruing during such sell-off period and the
respective provisions regarding milestones and royalty payments and reporting set out herein shall continue to apply during such period. After said selloff period, Bayer and its Affiliates shall cease the sale of the Products for which this
Agreement was terminated. 
  

	 	15.4.1.7	 Bayer shall be responsible, at its own cost and expense, for the wind-down of Bayer’s and its
Affiliates’ development, manufacturing and commercialization activities for terminated Products. 


  

	 	15.4.2	 Consequences of Expiration of this Agreement. In the event that this Agreement expires after the Term as
set forth in Section 15.1: 


  

	 	15.4.2.1	 The licenses granted hereunder by Recursion to Bayer under Recursion’s rights, title and interest in the
Licensed Rights shall cease immediately, provided, however, that Bayer shall continue to have such license under any Licensed Project Know-How within the Licensed Rights, on a
non-exclusive, fully paid-up basis. 


  

	 	15.4.2.2	 Each Party shall have the right to freely use, practice, develop and exploit the respective affected Licensed
Rights of the respective Project, including the right to sublicense its interest in the Licensed Rights, without the consent of the other Party and without a duty of accounting to the other Party. Where such consent is required by Applicable Law, it
is deemed hereby granted and where a duty of accounting to the other Party exists by Applicable Law, such duty is hereby waived. Where the Applicable Law in any country prevents that such consent or waiver is given in advance the Parties shall be
obligated to give their consent or waiver at the given point in time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall have the right to assign the entire Licensed Rights or entire rights to the Licensed Rights without the other Party’s prior
written consent (except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Agreement in accordance with Section 16.4). To the extent that the use of the Licensed Rights by a Party requires a license to the background rights of the other Party,
the Parties will in good faith discuss whether and, provided that a license grant is agreeable, under what terms and conditions such license may be granted, always provided that the licensing party is in Control of the respective background rights.




  
 -42- 














	 	15.4.2.3	 The licenses granted hereunder by Recursion to Bayer under Recursion’s Background IP Rights shall cease
immediately, whereas the non-exclusive license granted under Recursion’s Background Know-How under Section 2.1.2 shall survive the expiration of this Agreement.

	 	15.5.1	 In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Bayer according to Section 15.3: 



 

	 	15.5.1.1	 Unless Bayer expressly terminates the licenses granted in Section 2.1, the license granted under
Section 2.1.1 by Recursion to Bayer under Recursion’s rights, title and interest in the Licensed Rights shall continue in each country, until expiration of the Royalty Term in that country and Bayer shall continue to pay Recursion the
milestone and royalty payments under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whereby all such payments shall be [***] reduced after the effective date of termination and Bayer’s associated reporting obligations hereunder
shall also continue. 


  

	 	15.5.1.2	 The license granted pursuant to Section 2.1.2 by Recursion to Bayer under Recursion’s Background IP
Rights and Background Know-how shall continue in each country, until expiration of the Royalty Term in that country unless Bayer expressly terminates the licenses granted in Section 2.1.1, in which case
the license granted pursuant to Section 2.1.2 shall also terminate. 


  

	 	15.5.1.3	 For the avoidance of doubt, termination of this Agreement does not affect the use rights under
Section 10.2 of the Collaboration Agreement. 



  
 -43- 














	 	15.6	 Effect on Sublicenses. Upon termination of this Agreement, for any reason, Bayer shall promptly notify
its Sublicensees of such termination. Upon notice by Recursion of its intent to terminate (or, if notice is not required, upon termination) this Agreement, Bayer shall no longer have the authority to grant further sublicenses. With respect to any
rights previously granted by Bayer under any Sublicense hereunder any Sublicensee, so long as they are not in default under such Sublicense, may elect to continue its Sublicense provided that (i) the Sublicense will be modified as reasonably
necessary to accommodate the functional and structural differences between Recursion and Bayer; (ii) Recursion is bound only to the extent under terms no less economically favorable to Recursion than existed when this Agreement and the
Sublicense were in effect; and (iii) in no event will Recursion be obligated in any manner that it was not to Bayer hereunder and that the terms of such license agreement will not impose any representations, warranties, expenses or liabilities
on Recursion that are not included in this Agreement. Sublicensee will notify Recursion in writing, within [***] days after the Sublicensee’s receipt of notice of such termination, of its election, and of its agreement to assume in respect to
Recursion all the obligations (including obligations for payment) contained in the Sublicense with Bayer and all the obligations in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Bayer retains under this Agreement or the Collaboration
Agreement after termination of this Agreement any rights to grant sublicenses, such rights remain unimpaired. 


  

	 	15.7	 Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or liabilities of
either Party that have accrued prior to such termination or expiry. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including in this Section 15), all other rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate upon
termination or expiration of this Agreement. 


 The following sections shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement along with any other provisions which by their context are intended to survive: Sections 1, 7, 8 (for the period set forth therein), 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 10, 11 (for the period set forth therein), 14, 15, 16, and for the period set forth in
