the Licensed Product component and the other active pharmaceutical ingredients or significant components did not occur in such period, then in the most recent royalty reporting period during the preceding twelve (12) months in which sales of
both occurred, if any. In the event that such average sale price cannot be determined for both the Licensed Product and all other active pharmaceutical ingredients or significant components included in the Combination Product, then the Parties will
in good faith discuss and agree on a pro-rata allocation of the Net Sales that reflects the Licensed Product’s contribution to the Combination Product on an equitable basis.

ARTICLE II 
 LICENSE
GRANT AND PENWEST OPTION 
 2.1 License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Penwest and its Affiliates
hereby grant to Trevi an exclusive license (or sublicense, as the case may be) under the Penwest Patent Rights and the Penwest Know-how, in each case with the right to grant sublicenses, to the extent provided
in Section 2.2, to research, develop, make, have made, use, import, export, market, offer for sale, sell and have sold, Licensed Product in the Territory within the Field. 

2.2 Sublicenses. 
 (a)
Sublicensing. The rights granted to Trevi by Penwest under Section 2.1, may be extended to an Affiliate or sublicensed, in whole or in part, to a Third Party (through multiple levels of sublicensing). Trevi will, promptly after
signature, provide Penwest with an unredacted copy of each agreement with a Sublicensee executed by Trevi or any of its Affiliates. Sublicensees may also extend the rights granted under Section 2.1 to any of their Affiliates. 

(b) Performance by Sublicensees. Trevi will be fully responsible for performance by each Sublicensee of its obligations under this
Agreement. Each sublicense granted by Trevi or by any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees pursuant to this Section 2.2 will contain terms and conditions consistent with those sections of this Agreement applicable to Sublicensees, and specifically
obligations to Penwest of (i) Section 2.4 (Penwest Option to Negotiate), 4.11 (Records and Audits), Article V (Intellectual Property Ownership, Protection and Related Matters), Article VIII (Indemnification), Article IX (Term and
Termination), Article X (Dispute Resolution) and Article XI (Miscellaneous). In addition, each sublicense agreement will contain the following provisions: (i) a requirement that any Sublicensee selling Licensed Product submit applicable sales
or other reports to Trevi to the extent necessary or relevant to the reports required to be made or records required to be maintained under this Agreement; (ii) an audit requirement as to those Sublicensees selling Licensed Product consistent
with that set forth in Section 4.11; and (iii) a requirement that such Sublicensee comply with the confidentiality provisions and restrictions on use of Confidential Information consistent with Article VI with respect to Confidential
Information of Penwest. 
 2.3 Responsibility; Decision-making. During the Term, Trevi will, including through its Affiliates and
Sublicensees, have sole responsibility for and sole decision-making authority with respect to, the research, development, manufacture, marketing, sale and use of Licensed Product in the Field, and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Agreement, will be responsible for all of the costs and expenses associated with such activities during the Term. Trevi shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop and commercialize Licensed Product in the Territory. 

  
 8 








 2.4 Penwest Option to Negotiate. Trevi hereby grants to Penwest a first right of
negotiation to re-acquire Penwest’s rights under the Penwest Know-how and the Penwest Patent Rights with respect to Licensed Product, and to acquire a license to
Trevi Improvements and Trevi Improvement Patent Rights for the research, development, manufacture and commercialization of Licensed Product (the “Reacquisition Option”). Penwest must exercise the Reacquisition Option by delivering
written notice to Trevi within [**] of delivery to Penwest by Trevi of the Phase 2 Data Package (the “Exercise Notice”). Upon receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Parties will negotiate in good faith the terms of a license agreement,
at then current market rates for deals at a similar stage with a product of similar market potential as Licensed Product. In the event Penwest does not provide the Exercise Notice within [**] of delivery to Penwest by Trevi of the Phase 2 Data
Package, or if the Parties have not executed a definitive agreement under the preceding sentence within [**] of the date of Trevi’s receipt of the Exercise Notice (the “Exclusive Negotiation Period”), despite good faith
negotiations, then Trevi shall thereafter be free to enter into an agreement with one or more Third Parties granting such Third Parties the right to research, develop, manufacture or commercialize Licensed Product, and Penwest will no longer have a
Reacquisition Option, provided that Trevi will not, during the [**]period following the end of the Exclusive Negotiation Period, enter into an agreement with a Third Party on terms more favorable to such Third Party than those last offered to

Penwest an estimate of the royalties due on Net Sales and payments due on Sublicense Income for such calendar quarter. Trevi will pay royalties due on Net Sales, and payments due on Sublicense Income, received in a calendar quarter within [**] of

(including, in each case, an accounting of all unit sales of the Licensed Product and a calculation of the deductions from gross invoice price to Net Sales in accordance with the definition of Net Sales) made during such calendar quarter and
describing any Sublicense Income received during such period. 
 4.7 Taxes. Trevi will make all payments to Penwest under this
Agreement without deduction or withholding except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law to be made on account of Taxes (as that term is defined below). Any Tax required to be withheld under applicable law
on amounts payable under this Agreement will promptly be paid by Trevi or its Affiliates or Sublicensees on behalf of Penwest to the appropriate governmental authority, and Trevi will furnish Penwest with proof of payment of such Tax. Any such Tax
required to be withheld will be an expense of and borne by Penwest. Trevi will give notice of its intention to begin withholding any such Tax in advance and will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reduce or eliminate such Tax on payments made to
Penwest hereunder. The Parties will cooperate with respect to all documentation required by any relevant government taxing authority or reasonably requested by either Party to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding Taxes. Solely
for purposes of this Section 4.7, “Tax” or “Taxes” means any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, assessments or fees of any nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto)
that are imposed by a government authority, but not including Trevi income taxes.

specified in this Agreement are United States dollar amounts. 
 4.9 Currency Conversion. All payments to be made by Trevi to Penwest
will be made in U.S. Dollars, to a bank account designated by Penwest. In the case of sales outside the United States, payments received by Trevi will be expressed in the U.S. Dollar equivalent calculated on a quarterly basis in the currency of
the country of sale and converted to their U.S. Dollar equivalent using the average rate of exchange over the applicable calendar quarter to which the sales relate, in accordance with GAAP and the then current standard methods of Trevi or the
applicable Sublicensee, to the extent reasonable and consistently applied. Trevi will provide Penwest with the specific exchange rate translation methodology used for a particular country or countries. 

4.10 Late Payments. Trevi will pay interest to Penwest on the aggregate amount of any payments that are not paid on or before the date
such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of [**] percent ([**]%) per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, calculated based on the number of days such payments are paid after the date such

 12 








 4.11 Records and Audits. Trevi will keep complete and accurate records relating to the
calculations of Net Sales generated in the then current calendar year, and during the preceding [**]. Penwest will have the right, [**] at its own expense, to have a nationally recognized, independent, certified public accounting firm, selected by
it and reasonably acceptable to Trevi, review any such records of Trevi and its Affiliates and Sublicensees (the “Audited Party”) in the location(s) where such records are maintained by the Audited Party upon reasonable written
notice (which shall be no less than [**] prior written notice) and during regular business hours and under obligations of strict confidence, for the sole purpose of verifying the basis and accuracy of payments made under Section 4.3 and 4.5
within the [**] period preceding the date of the request for review. No calendar year will be subject to audit under this Section more than [**] except for cause. Trevi will receive a copy of each such report concurrently with receipt by Penwest.
Should such inspection lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to Penwest’s detriment, Trevi will, within [**] after receipt of such report from the accounting firm, pay any undisputed amount of the discrepancy, plus interest on the underpayment
at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of [**] percent ([**]%) per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, calculated from the date the underpayment was made until the date of payment to Penwest of the underpayment. Penwest will pay
the full cost of the review unless the underpayment of amounts due to Penwest is greater than [**] percent ([**]%) of the amount due for the entire period being examined, in which case Trevi will pay the cost of such review. Any undisputed
overpayment of royalties by Trevi revealed by an examination will be paid by Penwest within [**] of Penwest’s receipt of the applicable report. Any disagreement regarding the results of any audit conducted under this Section will be subject to
the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Article X.

defense of any interference or opposition proceedings) all Penwest Patent Rights (not including for this purpose Patent Rights that are of general applicability with respect to the TIMERx Technology), including decisions related to continued
prosecution. Trevi shall consult with Penwest and shall keep Penwest informed regarding all matters relating to such prosecution, but shall directly instruct Penwest outside counsel as to all matters relating to Penwest Patent Rights. If at any time
Penwest and Trevi disagree and cannot reach agreement regarding prosecution of any Penwest Patent Rights, Penwest may retake responsibility for prosecution of those rights by notifying Trevi in writing. Upon such notification, Penwest shall

5.2 Third Party Infringement. 

(a) Notices. Each Party will promptly report in writing to the other Party any (i) known or suspected infringement of any Penwest
Patent Rights, or (ii) unauthorized use or misappropriation of any Penwest Know-how by a Third Party, of which such Party becomes aware, in each case only to the extent relevant to Licensed Product or the

 13 








 (b) Trevi First Right to Enforce Certain Penwest Patent Rights. Trevi or its designated
Affiliate or Sublicensee will have the first right, but not the obligation, to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action required to prevent or abate actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of, or otherwise protect or enforce,
the Penwest Patent Rights and/or defend against a Third Party claim of invalidity or unenforceability of Penwest Patent Rights. Penwest and its Affiliates will join such suit if the relevant court would lack jurisdiction if Penwest or such Affiliate
were absent from such suit and Penwest and such Affiliates will execute such legal papers and cooperate in the prosecution of such suit as may be reasonably requested by Trevi; provided, that Trevi will promptly reimburse all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Penwest and such Affiliates in connection with such requested cooperation. 

(c) Penwest Rights if Trevi Elects Not to Proceed. If Trevi does not initiate a suit or take other appropriate action pursuant to
Section 5.2(b) within [**] after knowledge of such infringement or misappropriation or, in the case of receipt of a notice letter sent by a Third Party pursuant to the requirements of 21 U.S.C. § 355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV)
or under any analogous provisions, within [**] before any statutory or regulatory deadline for filing such suit, then Penwest will have the immediate right to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action that it believes is reasonably required
to prevent or abate actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of, or otherwise to protect or enforce the relevant Penwest Patent Rights. Trevi and its Affiliates will join such suit if the relevant court would lack jurisdiction if Trevi
or such Affiliates were absent from such suit and Trevi and such Affiliates will execute such legal papers and cooperate in the prosecution of such suit as may be reasonably requested by Penwest; provided, that Penwest will promptly reimburse all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Trevi and such Affiliates in connection with such requested cooperation. 

(d) Right to Enforce Know-how. Responsibility for preventing or abating actual or threatened
infringement or misappropriation of, or otherwise protecting or enforcing Penwest Know-how will be determined in the same manner as the right to enforce Penwest Patent Rights under paragraph (b) and (c).
The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party informed of the status of all enforcement activities, and shall consider in good faith all comments of the other Party regarding any aspect of such enforcement. 

(e) Conduct of Certain Actions; Costs. The Party initiating suit under this Section 5.2 will have the sole and exclusive right to
select counsel for any suit initiated by it pursuant to this Section. The initiating Party will assume and pay all of its own out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection
with any litigation or proceedings initiated by it pursuant to this Section, including the fees and expenses of the legal counsel selected by it. 

  
 14 








 (f) Recoveries. 

(i) If Trevi initiates suit as permitted in accordance with Section 5.2(b) or, with respect to Penwest Know-how, in the same manner as set forth in Section 5.2(b), any damages, settlements, accounts of profits, or other financial compensation actually paid to Trevi by a Third Party based upon such suit, after
deducting Trevi’s actual out of pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in pursuing such suit (such net amount, the “Recovery”), will be treated as Sublicense Income, and will be
subject to the payment obligations under Section 4.5, with Trevi retaining the balance after such payment. 
 (ii) If
Penwest initiates suit pursuant to Section 5.2(c) or with respect to Penwest Know-how, in the same manner as set forth in Section 5.2(c), Penwest may retain any damages, settlements, accounts of
profits, or other financial compensation recovered from a Third Party based upon such suit. 
 ARTICLE VI 

CONFIDENTIALITY 
 6.1
Confidential Information. During the Term and for a period of [**] after any termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party agrees to keep in confidence and not to disclose to any Third Party, or use for any purpose, except pursuant
to, and in order to carry out, the terms and objectives of this Agreement (which, in the case of Trevi and its Affiliates and Sublicensees, includes activities contemplated by the licenses granted in Sections 2.1) or as otherwise specifically
permitted under this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the other Party. The terms of this Agreement will be considered Confidential Information of both Parties, subject to permitted disclosures as set forth in this Article VI. The
restrictions on the disclosure and use of Confidential Information set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6.1 will not apply to any Confidential Information that: 

(i) is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party; or 

(ii) is disclosed to the receiving Party by a Third Party having a legal right to make such disclosure without violating any
confidentiality or non-use obligation that such Third Party has to the disclosing Party and provided such Third Party is not disclosing such information on behalf of the disclosing Party. 

In addition, if either Party is required to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party by regulation, law or legal process, including by the rules
or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or similar regulatory agency in a country other than the United States or of any stock exchange or Nasdaq, such Party shall, to the extent practicable, provide prior written
notice and a copy of such intended disclosure to such other Party if possible under the circumstances, will consider in good faith the other Party’s comments, will disclose only such Confidential Information of such other Party as is required
to be disclosed and will cooperate in the disclosing Party’s efforts to obtain a protective order or to limit the scope of the required disclosures. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, either Party may disclose to bona
fide potential or existing investors or lenders, potential acquirors/acquirees, 

  
 15 








 
and, in the case of Trevi, to potential and existing sublicensees and collaborators, and to such Party’s consultants and advisors, the existence and terms of this Agreement to the extent
necessary in connection with a proposed equity or debt financing of such Party, or a proposed acquisition or business combination or transaction, so long as such recipients are bound in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

 6.2 Permitted Disclosures. Each Party agrees that it and its Affiliates will provide or permit access to Confidential Information
received from the other Party and such Party’s Affiliates and representatives only to the receiving Party’s employees, consultants, advisors and bona fide potential acquirors, Third Party contractors, potential and existing Sublicensees
and distributors, in each case who, in such Party’s reasonable judgment, have a need to know such Confidential information to assist the receiving Party with the activities contemplated by this Agreement (which, in the case of Trevi and its
Affiliates and Sublicensees, includes activities contemplated by the license granted in Sections 2.1) or in connection with a potential business relationship or investment that would encompass Licensed Product, and who are subject to obligations of
confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the receiving Party under
Section 6.1. Penwest and Trevi shall each remain responsible for any failure by its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ respective employees, consultants, advisors, contractors, investigators, sublicensees and distributors, to treat
such Confidential Information as required under Section 6.1 (as if such Affiliates, employees, consultants, advisors, contractors, sublicensees and distributors were Parties directly bound to the requirements of Section 6.1). Each Party
may also disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to Regulatory Authorities and other governmental authorities, but solely in connection with the activities contemplated by this Agreement. 

6.3 Limitation on Penwest Disclosure of Penwest Know-how. During the Term of this Agreement,
Penwest will not disclose Penwest Know-how that is specific to Licensed Product or the development, manufacture, commercialization or use of Licensed Product to any Third Party without the express written
consent of Trevi or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement. 
 6.4 Publicity. Neither Party will issue a press release or public
announcement relating to the terms of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that (i) a Party may issue such press release or public
announcement if the contents of such press release or public announcement, to the extent related to the terms of this Agreement, are identical with a previously approved press release or have otherwise previously been made public other than through
a breach of this Agreement, and (ii) a Party may issue such a press release or public announcement if required by applicable law, including by the rules or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or similar
regulatory agency in a country other than, the United States or of any stock exchange or Nasdaq; provided that such Party complies with the notice and review provisions set forth in this Section. In the event Penwest is required by applicable law to
publicly disclose any of the results generated by Trevi or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees or any information provided by Trevi related to Licensed Product or either Party is required by applicable law to disclose the terms of this Agreement,
such Party will give the other Party at least [**] prior written notice, but only if and to the extent reasonably 

  
 16 








 
practicable, will provide to such other Party a copy of the required disclosure, will, if requested by such other Party, to the extent permitted by applicable law, request confidential treatment
of any financial and other materials terms of this Agreement not previously disclosed under this Section, and will consider in good faith any other comments of such other Party on such public disclosure. 

6.5 Publications. Trevi and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall have the sole right to publish the results of development,
manufacturing, commercialization and use of Licensed Product during the Term. 
 6.6 Return of Confidential Information. Upon
termination of this Agreement prior to the end of the Term, the receiving Party shall, at the request of, and as directed by, the disclosing Party, return or destroy Confidential Information of the disclosing Party in the receiving Party’s

Licensed Product by or on behalf of Penwest

or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees, Penwest will pay such amounts due by Trevi or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees to such Third Party by reimbursing Trevi or paying such amounts
directly to such Third Party, as directed by Trevi, in each case based on supporting documentation provided by Trevi, provided that Trevi fully discloses such payment obligations within [**] of the grant of the license. Penwest may elect not to
accept the grant of the license to any such Third Party intellectual property with corresponding payment obligations upon [**] written notice to Trevi from the date of Penwest’s receipt of notification of such payment obligations.

under Section 10.1, will be decided by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association for Commercial Arbitration in effect at the time the dispute arises, unless the Parties hereto mutually agree otherwise. To
the extent such rules are inconsistent with this provision, this provision will control. The following rules will apply to any such arbitration: 

(a) Any demand for arbitration must be made in writing to the other Party. 

(b) There will be three arbitrators, one of whom shall be appointed by each Party and a third of whom shall be the chairman of the panel and be
appointed by mutual agreement of the two arbitrators appointed by the Parties. If the two arbitrators cannot agree on the appointment of the third arbitrator within [**], then the AAA shall select the arbitrator. Any arbitration involving patent
rights, other intellectual property rights or intellectual property will be heard by arbitrators who are expert in such areas.

arbitration will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or such other place as the Parties agree. The arbitrators will apply the substantive law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in accordance with Section 11.1, without regard to conflicts of
laws and except that the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1 et. seq.

authorities in lieu of arbitration, but each Party has the right before or during the arbitration to seek and obtain from the appropriate court provisional remedies to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo or preserve the subject matter of
the arbitration. There shall be a stenographic record of the proceedings. The decision of the arbitrators will be final and binding upon both Parties. The arbitrators will render a written opinion setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of
law.

both Parties shall share equally in the cost of appointed arbitrator. 
 10.3 Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, each of the Parties hereby acknowledges that a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement may cause irreparable harm and that the remedy or remedies at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Each of the Parties hereby
agrees that, in the event of any such breach, in addition to all other available remedies hereunder, the non-breaching Party shall have the right, through the arbitration process described in Section 10.2
or in court, to seek equitable relief to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE XI 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 11.1
