each Party shall, and does hereby, assign, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their licensees and Sublicensees to so assign,
to the other Party, without additional compensation, such right, title and interest in and to any Information, Improvements and
other inventions as well as any intellectual property rights with respect thereto, as is necessary to fully effect, as applicable,
(i) the sole ownership provided for in Section ‎8.1.1, ‎8.1.2,

in connection with this Agreement to be under an obligation to assign (or, if such Party is unable to cause such Person to agree

provide a license under) their rights in any Information, Improvement and inventions resulting therefrom to such Party, except
where Applicable Law requires otherwise.

(iv)        With respect to Patents within the ACI Patents and Joint Patents, if Lilly elects not to participate in the Prosecution

with respect thereto or electing to allow any such Patents to lapse or become abandoned or unenforceable, then Lilly shall promptly
notify ACI in writing and thereafter, ACI may, but is not required to, undertake, at ACI’s sole expense and in its sole discretion,
the Prosecution of such Patents; [*****].


 


(v)         Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in writing and except to the extent Lilly elects not to Prosecute any ACI

then Lilly may proceed accordingly. ACI shall provide prompt and reasonable assistance, as requested by Lilly, including by taking
such action as patent holder as is required under any Applicable Law to obtain such extension or supplementary protection certificate.


 


8.2.4.

of the other Party. With respect to any such permitted


 




    47

of Patents.

Notice. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of (i) any alleged or threatened infringement
of the ACI Patents, Lilly Patents or Joint Patents in the Field in any jurisdiction in the Territory or (ii) any certification
filed under the Hatch-Waxman Act claiming that any ACI Patents, Lilly Patents or Joint Patents are invalid or unenforceable or
claiming that any ACI Patents, Lilly Patents or Joint Patents would not be infringed by the making, use, offer for sale, sale or
import of a product for which an application under the Hatch-Waxman Act is filed or any equivalent or similar certification or
notice in any other jurisdiction in the Territory, in each case ((i) and (ii)) of which such Party becomes aware (an “Infringement”).


 


8.3.2.     
Enforcement of ACI Patents and Joint Patents. As between the Parties, Lilly shall have the first right,
but not the obligation, to prosecute any Infringement with respect to the ACI Patents and Joint Patents, including as a defense
or counterclaim in connection with any Third Party Infringement Claim, at Lilly’s sole cost and expense, using counsel of
its own choice. In the event Lilly prosecutes any such Infringement, ACI shall have the right to join as a party to such claim,
suit or proceeding in the Territory and participate with its own counsel at its sole cost and expense; provided that Lilly
shall retain control of the prosecution of such claim, suit or proceeding, including the response to any defense or defense of
any counterclaim raised in connection therewith. If Lilly or its designee does not take commercially reasonable steps to prosecute
an Infringement (i) within ninety (90) days following the first notice provided above with respect to such Infringement or
(ii) provided such date occurs after the first such notice of such Infringement is provided, ten (10) Business Days
before the time limit, if any, set forth in appropriate laws and regulations for filing of such actions, whichever comes first,

    48


     


    

8.3.3.     
Enforcement of Lilly Patents. As between the Parties, Lilly shall have the sole right, but not the obligation,

of the prosecution of such suit.


 


8.3.4.     
Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate fully in any Infringement action pursuant to this Section
‎8.3, including in the case of ACI, by making the inventors, applicable records and documents
(including laboratory notebooks) of the relevant Patents available to Lilly upon Lilly’s reasonable request. Where a Party
controls such an action, the other Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assist and cooperate with the controlling Party,
as such controlling Party may reasonably request from time to time, in connection with its activities set forth in this Section,
including where necessary, being named as a necessary party to such action, providing reasonable access to relevant documents and
other evidence and making its employees available at reasonable business hours.


 


8.3.5.     
Settlement. [*****].


 


8.3.6.     
Recovery. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in connection with a written cost sharing arrangement,
any recovery realized as a result of such litigation described above in this Section ‎8.3
(whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be first allocated to [*****]. Any remainder after such reimbursement is made
shall be retained by [*****].


 


8.4.        
Infringement Claims by Third Parties. If the Exploitation of a Licensed Product in the Territory pursuant
to this Agreement results in, or is reasonably expected to result in, any claim, suit or proceeding by a Third Party alleging infringement
by Lilly or any of its Affiliates or its or their Sublicensees, distributors or customers (a “Third Party Infringement
Claim”), including any defense or counterclaim in connection with an Infringement action initiated pursuant to Section
‎8.3, the Party first becoming aware of such alleged infringement shall promptly notify
the other Party thereof in writing. As between the Parties, Lilly shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend
and control the defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding at its sole cost and expense, using counsel of its own choice. ACI
may participate in any such claim, suit or proceeding with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. If Lilly or its
designee elects (in a written communication submitted to ACI within a reasonable amount of time after notice of the alleged patent
infringement) not to defend or control the defense of, or otherwise fails to initiate and maintain the defense of, any such claim,
suit or proceeding, within such time periods so that ACI is not prejudiced by any delays, ACI may conduct and control the defense
of any such claim, suit or proceeding at its sole cost and expense. Where a Party controls such an action, the other Party shall,
and shall cause its Affiliates to, assist and cooperate with the controlling Party, as such controlling Party may reasonably request
from time to time, in connection with its activities set forth in this Section, including where necessary, being named as a necessary
party to such action, providing reasonable access to relevant documents and other evidence and making its employees available
at reasonable business hours.


 




    49


     


    

Each Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of all material developments
in connection with any such claim, suit or proceeding. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party with copies of all material
pleadings filed in such action and to allow the other Party reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of the claims.
Any recoveries awarded to a Party in connection with any Third Party Infringement Claim defended under this Section ‎8.4
shall be [*****].


 


8.5.        
Invalidity or Unenforceability Defenses or Actions. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in
writing of any alleged or threatened assertion of invalidity or unenforceability of any of the ACI Patents, Lilly Patents or Joint
Patents by a Third Party of which such Party becomes aware. Subject to Sections 5.2.3 and 5.2.6, Lilly shall have (i) the first
right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of the validity and enforceability of the ACI Patents and the
Joint Patents and (ii) the sole right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of the validity and enforceability
of the Lilly Patents, in each case ((i) and (ii)), at its sole cost and expense in the Territory and using counsel of its own choice,
including when such invalidity or unenforceability is raised as a defense or counterclaim in connection with an Infringement action
initiated pursuant to Section ‎8.4. ACI may participate in any such claim, suit or proceeding
in the Territory with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense; provided that Lilly shall retain control of the
defense in such claim, suit or proceeding. If Lilly or its designee elects not to defend or control the defense of the ACI Patents
or Joint Patents in a suit brought in the Territory or otherwise fails to initiate and maintain the defense of any such claim,
suit or proceeding, then ACI may conduct and control the defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding at its sole cost and expense,
[*****]. Where a Party controls such an action, the other Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, assist and cooperate
with the controlling Party, as such controlling Party may reasonably request from time to time in connection with its activities
set forth in this Section ‎8.5, including where necessary, furnishing a power of attorney
solely for such purpose or joining in, or being named as a necessary party to, such action, providing reasonable access to relevant
documents and other evidence and making its employees available at reasonable business hours. In connection with any activities
with respect to a defense, claim or counterclaim relating to the ACI Patents or the Joint Patents pursuant to this Section ‎8.5,
the controlling Party shall (a) consult with the other Party as to the strategy for such activities, (b) consider in good faith
any comments from the other Party and (c) keep the other Party reasonably informed of any material steps taken and provide copies
of all material documents filed, in connection with such defense, claim or counterclaim.

8.6.         Third
Party Rights. If in the reasonable opinion of Lilly, the Exploitation of a Licensed Compound or Licensed Product by Lilly
or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their Sublicensees, distributors or customers infringes or misappropriates or is reasonably
expected to infringe or misappropriate any Patent, trade secret or other intellectual property right of a Third Party in any country
in the Territory (such right, a “Third Party Right”), then, as between the Parties, Lilly shall have the first
right, but not the obligation, to negotiate and obtain a license or other rights from such Third Party to such Third Party Right
as necessary or desirable for Lilly or its Affiliates or its and their Sublicensees to Exploit Licensed Compounds and Licensed
Products in such country. In the event that Lilly negotiates and obtains any such license from a Third Party, [*****].


 


8.7.         Product
Trademarks.


 


8.7.1.     
Notice. Each Party shall provide to the other Party prompt written notice of any actual or threatened
infringement of the Product Trademarks in the Territory and of any actual or threatened claim that the use of the Product Trademarks
in the Territory violates the rights of any Third Party, in each case, of which such Party becomes aware.


 


8.7.2.     
Prosecution of Product Trademarks. Lilly shall have the sole right to register, prosecute and maintain
the Product Trademarks using counsel of its own choice. All costs and expenses of registering, prosecuting and maintaining the
Product Trademarks shall be borne solely by Lilly.


 


8.7.3.     
Enforcement of Product Trademarks. Lilly shall have the sole right to take such action as Lilly deems
necessary against a Third Party based on any alleged, threatened or actual infringement, dilution, misappropriation or other violation
of or unfair trade practices or any other like offense relating to, the Product Trademarks by a Third Party in the Territory at
its sole cost and expense and using counsel of its own choice. [*****].


 


8.7.4.     
Third Party Claims. Lilly shall have the sole right to defend against and settle any alleged, threatened
or actual claim by a Third Party that the use or registration of the Product Trademarks in the Territory infringes, dilutes, misappropriates
or otherwise violates any Trademark or other right of that Third Party or constitutes unfair trade practices or any other like
offense or any other claims as may be brought by a Third Party against a Party in connection with the use of the Product Trademarks
with respect to a Licensed Product in the Territory at its sole cost and expense and using counsel of its own choice. [*****].


 


8.7.5.     
Cooperation. ACI shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees to, assist and cooperate
with Lilly, as Lilly may reasonably request from time to time and at Lilly’s sole cost and expense, in connection with its
activities set forth in this Section ‎8.7, including where necessary, joining in, or being
named as a necessary party to such action, providing reasonable access to relevant documents and other evidence and making its
employees available at reasonable business hours.

Standards of Use. Any and all use of ACI’s Corporate Names by Lilly under this Agreement shall be

Covenants. Lilly shall not, and Lilly shall cause its Affiliates not to, register (or attempt to register)
any of ACI’s Corporate Names, or any Trademark confusingly similar to any of ACI’s Corporate Names, in any jurisdiction
as a Trademark, domain name, business or company name or otherwise, and Lilly shall not, and Lilly shall cause its Affiliates not
to, challenge the validity or enforceability of any of ACI’s Corporate Names.


 


ARTICLE 9

CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE


 


9.1.        
Confidentiality Obligations. At all times during the Term and for a period of [*****] following termination
or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall and shall cause its officers, directors, employees and agents to, keep confidential
and not publish or otherwise disclose to any Third Party and not use, directly or indirectly, for any purpose, any Confidential
Information furnished or otherwise made known to it, directly or indirectly, by the other Party, except to the extent such disclosure
or use is expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement. “Confidential Information” means any technical,
business or other information provided by or on behalf of one Party to the other Party in connection with this Agreement, whether
prior to, on or after the Effective Date, including the terms of this Agreement, information relating to any Licensed Compound
or any Licensed Product (including the Regulatory Documentation), any Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Compound or
any Licensed Product, any Information with respect thereto developed by or on behalf of the disclosing Party or its Affiliates
or, in the case of Lilly, its Affiliates or Sublicensees (including Lilly Know-How and ACI Know-How, as applicable) or the scientific,
regulatory or business affairs or other activities of either Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information constituting
(i) Regulatory Documentation owned by Lilly pursuant to Section ‎3.3.1, any Joint
Know-How and any other Information developed, owned or Controlled by ACI or any of its Affiliates relating to any Licensed Compound
or Licensed Product or the Exploitation of any of the foregoing in the Field shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Lilly
(and Lilly shall be deemed the disclosing Party and ACI shall be deemed the receiving Party with respect thereto) and (ii) the
terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of both Parties (and both Parties shall be deemed to
be the receiving Party and the disclosing Party with respect thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the confidentiality and non-use
obligations under this Section ‎9.1 with respect to any Confidential Information shall
not apply to any information that:


 




    52


     


    

9.1.1.     
is or hereafter becomes part of the public domain by public use, publication, general knowledge or the like through
no breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party;


 


9.1.2.     
can be demonstrated by documentation or other competent proof to have been in the receiving Party’s possession
prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party without any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information; provided
that the foregoing exception shall not apply with respect to Confidential Information described in the immediately preceding sentence;


 


9.1.3.     
is subsequently received by the receiving Party from a Third Party who is not bound by any obligation of confidentiality
with respect to such information;


 


9.1.4.     
has been published by a Third Party or otherwise enters the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party
in breach of this Agreement; or


 


9.1.5.     
can be demonstrated by documentation or other competent evidence to have been independently developed by or for
the receiving Party without reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; provided that the foregoing
exception shall not apply with respect to Confidential Information described in the immediately preceding sentence.


 


Specific aspects or details of Confidential Information shall
not be deemed to be within the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party merely because the Confidential Information
is embraced by more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party. Further, any combination
of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party merely because
individual elements of such Confidential Information are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party unless
the combination and its principles are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.


 


9.2.        
Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section ‎9.1,
each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is:


 




    53


     


    

9.2.1.     
made in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or Governmental Authority of competent
jurisdiction or, if in the reasonable opinion of the receiving Party’s legal counsel, such disclosure is otherwise required
by Applicable Law, including by reason of filing with securities regulators; provided, however, that the receiving Party
shall first have given written notice to the disclosing Party and given the disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to quash
such order or to obtain a protective order or confidential treatment requiring that the Confidential Information and documents
that are the subject of such order or required to be disclosed be held in confidence by such court or Governmental Authority or,
if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued or such disclosure was required by Applicable Law; and
provided, further, that the Confidential Information disclosed in response to such order of a court or Governmental Authority
or as required by Applicable Law shall be limited to the information that is legally required to be disclosed in response to such
order or by such Applicable Law; or


 


9.2.2.     
made by or on behalf of the receiving Party to a Patent authority as may be reasonably necessary or useful for
purposes of obtaining or enforcing a Patent; provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential
treatment of such information, to the extent such protection is available.


 


9.2.3.     
For clarity, either Party may disclose without limitation a copy of this Agreement, including any exhibits, schedules,
ancillary agreements, and amendments thereto in response to a valid request by a U.S., foreign, state, provincial, or local tax
authority.


 


9.3.        
Additional Permitted Disclosures by Lilly. [*****].


 


9.4.         Additional Permitted Disclosures by ACI. [*****].


 


9.5.         Use
of Name. [*****].


 


9.6.        
Public Announcements. The Parties have agreed upon the content of one (1) or more press releases which
shall be issued substantially in the form(s) attached hereto as Schedule ‎9.6,
the release of which the Parties shall coordinate in order to accomplish such release promptly upon execution of this Agreement.
Neither Party shall issue any other public announcement, press release or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or its
subject matter without the other Party’s prior written consent, except for any such disclosure that is, in the opinion of
the disclosing Party’s counsel, required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the
disclosing Party are listed (or to which an application for listing has been submitted). In the event a Party is, in the opinion
of its counsel, required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which its securities are listed (or to which an
application for listing has been submitted) to make such a public disclosure, such Party shall submit the proposed disclosure in
writing to the other Party as far in advance as reasonably practicable (and in no event less than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated date
of disclosure) so as to provide a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing Lilly and its Affiliates
and its and their Sublicensees shall have the right to publicly 


 




    54


     


    

disclose research, development and commercial information (including
with respect to regulatory matters) regarding the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products; provided such disclosure is subject
to the provisions of Article 9 with respect to ACI’s Confidential Information. Neither Party shall be required to seek the
permission of the other Party to repeat any information regarding the terms of this Agreement or any amendment hereto that has
already been publicly disclosed by such Party or by the other Party, in accordance with this Section ‎9.6, provided that such
information remains accurate as of such time and provided the frequency and form of such disclosure are reasonable.


 


9.7.        
Publications. The Parties recognize the desirability of publishing and publicly disclosing the results
of and information regarding, activities under this Agreement. Accordingly, Lilly shall be free to publicly disclose the results
of and information regarding, activities under this Agreement, subject to prior review by ACI of any disclosure of ACI Confidential
Information for issues of patentability and protection of such Confidential Information, in a manner consistent with Applicable
Law and industry practices, as provided in this Section ‎9.7. Accordingly, prior to publishing or disclosing any ACI Confidential
Information, Lilly shall provide ACI with drafts of proposed abstracts, manuscripts or summaries of presentations that cover such
Confidential Information at least thirty (30) days prior to submission for publication or presentation. ACI shall respond promptly
through its designated representative and in any event no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of such proposed publication
or presentation or such shorter period as may be required by the publication or presentation. If ACI requests a delay in publication
or presentation, Lilly shall delay such submission or presentation for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days to permit filings
for Patent protection and to otherwise address issues of Confidential Information or related competitive harm to the reasonable
satisfaction of ACI. In addition, Lilly will give due regard to comments furnished by ACI and such comments shall not be unreasonably
rejected. ACI shall not and shall cause each of its Affiliates and its and their licensees and Sublicensees not to, make any publications
or public disclosures regarding the Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products or any Confidential Information of Lilly without Lilly’s
prior written consent, except to the extent expressly permitted hereunder.


 


9.8.         Return of Confidential Information. Upon the written request of a Party, the non-requesting Party following
the termination of this Agreement shall either, at the requesting Party’s election: (i) promptly destroy all copies
of such Confidential Information in the possession or control of the non-requesting Party and confirm such destruction in writing
to the requesting Party; or (ii) promptly deliver to the requesting Party, at the non-requesting Party’s sole cost and
expense, all copies of such Confidential Information in the possession or control of the non-requesting Party. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the non-requesting Party shall be permitted to retain such Confidential Information (a) to the extent necessary
or useful for purposes of performing any continuing obligations or exercising any ongoing rights hereunder and, in any event, a
single copy of such Confidential Information
for archival purposes and (b) any computer records or files containing such Confidential Information that have been created solely
by such non-requesting Party’s automatic archiving and back-up procedures, to the extent 


 




    55


     


    

created and retained in a manner
consistent with such non-requesting Party’s standard archiving and back-up procedures, but not for any other uses or purposes.
All Confidential Information shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement for the period set forth in Section ‎9.1.

11.1.      
Indemnification of ACI. Lilly shall indemnify ACI, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities,
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) in connection
with any and all suits, investigations, claims or demands of Third Parties (collectively, “Third
Party Claims”) (including, for clarity, claims by Lilly’s Sublicensees) arising from or occurring as a result of:
(i) the breach by Lilly of this Agreement; (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Lilly or its
Affiliates or its or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents in performing its or their obligations under this
Agreement; or (iii) the Exploitation by Lilly or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees of any Licensed Product or Licensed
Compound in or for the Territory, except, in each case ((i), (ii) and (iii)), for those Losses for which ACI has an 


 




    60


     


    

obligation
to indemnify Lilly pursuant to Section ‎11.2 hereof, as to which Losses each Party
shall indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability.


 


11.2.      
Indemnification of Lilly. ACI shall indemnify Lilly, its Affiliates, and its and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses in connection with
any and all Third Party Claims (including, for clarity, claims by Lilly’s Sublicensees) arising from or occurring as a result
of: (i) the breach by ACI of this Agreement; (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of ACI or its
Affiliates or its or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents in performing its obligations under this Agreement;
or (iii) the Exploitation by ACI or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees of any Licensed Product or Licensed Compound in
or for the Territory, except, in each case ((i), (ii) and (iii)), for those Losses for which Lilly has an obligation to indemnify
ACI pursuant to Section ‎11.1 hereof, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify
the other to the extent of their respective liability.


 


11.3.      
Indemnification Procedures. 


 


11.3.1. 
Notice of Claim.  All indemnification claims in respect of a Party, its Affiliates or its or their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents shall be made solely by such Party to this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”).
The Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party written notice as soon as reasonably practicable (an “Indemnification
Claim Notice”) of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification
under this Article ‎11, but in no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in
providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such
Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly
to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims.


 


11.3.2. 
Control of Defense. At its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim
by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification
Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment
that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of
the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified
Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as
lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party; provided that
it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed). In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately
deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party
in connection with the Third Party Claim. 


 




    61


     


    

Should the indemnifying Party assume
the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section ‎11.3.3, the indemnifying
Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim unless specifically requested in writing by the indemnifying
Party. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold
harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying
Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the indemnifying
Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.


 


11.3.3. 
Right to Participate in Defense. Any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control,
the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such
employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized in writing by the indemnifying Party in writing, (ii) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ
counsel in accordance with Section ‎11.3.2 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall
control the defense) or (iii) the interests of the indemnitee and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party
Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under Applicable Law, ethical
rules or equitable principles.


 


11.3.4. 
Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with
a Third Party Claim and that shall not result in the applicable indemnitee’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief
or otherwise adversely affecting the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner and as to which the indemnifying Party shall
have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the applicable indemnitee hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall have
the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms
as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with
Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 11.3.2,
the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose
of such Loss; provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct
the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim; provided
that the Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).


 




11.3.5. 
Cooperation. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party
Claim, the Indemnified Party shall and shall cause each indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall
furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings,
trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection
 



    62


     


    


therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal
business hours afforded to the indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information
that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and making Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available
on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and the indemnifying
Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.


 


11.3.6. 
Expenses. Except as provided above, the costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel,
incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall [*****].


 


11.4.       Special, Indirect and Other Losses. EXCEPT (I) IN THE EVENT OF THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD OF A PARTY
OR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER ‎ARTICLE 9 OR SECTION ‎2.7,
(II) AS PROVIDED UNDER SECTION ‎13.10, AND (III) TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REQUIRED
TO BE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY PROVIDES INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 11, NEITHER PARTY
NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY SPECIAL,
INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY.


 


11.5.      
Insurance. Each Party shall have and maintain such types and amounts of insurance covering its Exploitation
of the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products as is (i) normal and customary in the pharmaceutical industry generally for
parties similarly situated and (ii) otherwise required by Applicable Law. Upon request by the other Party, each Party shall
provide to the other Party evidence of its insurance coverage. The insurance policies shall be under an occurrence form, but if
only a claims-made form is available to a Party, then such Party shall continue to maintain such insurance after the expiration
or termination of this Agreement for a period of [*****]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lilly may self-insure in whole or in part
the insurance requirements described above.

license granted in clause (ii) above, with respect to each Licensed Product that is or has been the subject of Development or Commercialization
as of the effective date of the applicable termination of this Agreement (each, a “Termination Royalty Product”)
in any country, until the expiration of the last-to-expire Tau Patent assigned by Lilly to ACI pursuant to the last sentence of
Section ‎8.1.2 in such country that contains a Valid Claim that claims or covers such
Termination Royalty Product (or any element thereof) or any Exploitation of such Termination Royalty Product (or any element thereof),
ACI shall pay to Lilly a royalty on Net Sales of such Termination Royalty Product in the Field in such country by ACI or its Affiliates
or Sublicensees (a) in the event that such termination occurs prior to First Commercial Sale of such Termination Royalty Product
hereunder, at a rate of [*****] of such Net Sales or (b) in the event that such termination occurs after the First Commercial Sale
of such Termination Royalty Product hereunder, at a rate of [*****] of such Net Sales, in each case ((a) and (b)), with Net Sales
being determined by applying the Net Sales definition to ACI mutatis mutandis (it being understood that if as of the effective
date of any such termination of this Agreement, no Tau Patent containing a Valid Claim claiming or covering any such Termination
Royalty Product in such country has been assigned to ACI pursuant to the last sentence of Section ‎8.1.2,
no royalty shall be payable by ACI in respect of such Termination Royalty Product pursuant to this Section ‎12.4.1‎(v)).


 


12.5.       Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, termination of this Agreement in accordance with

ARTICLE 13

MISCELLANEOUS


 


13.1.       Force
Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached
this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (other than an obligation to make payments)
when such failure or delay is caused by or results from events beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including
fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared
or not), terrorist acts, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances (whether involving
the workforce of the non-performing Party or of any other Person), acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental
Authority (except to the extent such delay results from the breach by the non-performing Party or any of its Affiliates of any
term or condition of this Agreement). The non-performing Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure within thirty
(30) days after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration
and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no
longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability
to perform. In the event that ACI is the non-performing Party and the force majeure continues for more than ninety (90) days,
Lilly shall have the right, at Lilly’s sole election, and without limitation to any other right or remedy available to Lilly,
to assume and complete some or all of the activities that ACI is not performing as a result of such force majeure.


 


13.2.       Export Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export of products or
technical information from the United States or other countries that may be imposed on the Parties from time to time. Each Party agrees that it will not
export, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party under this Agreement or any products using
such technical information to a location or in a manner that at the time of export requires an export license or other governmental
approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other Governmental Authority in accordance
with Applicable Law.


 


13.3.       Assignment.


 


13.3.1. 
Neither Party may, directly or indirectly, assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or its rights or obligations
under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however, that:


 




    69


     


    



(i)              ACI may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or its rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part,
without Lilly’s consent (a) in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of ACI to a
Third Party, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise, provided that such Third Party agrees to be
bound by, and assumes and succeeds to, all of the obligations of ACI under this Agreement or (b) to an Affiliate, provided
that ACI shall remain liable and responsible to Lilly for the performance and observance of all such obligations by such Affiliate;
and


 


(ii)              Lilly may, upon prior written notice to ACI, assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or its rights or obligations under
this Agreement, in whole or in part, without ACI’s consent, (a) in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially
all of the neurodegenerative business of Lilly to any Major Pharmaceutical Company, (b) to an Affiliate, provided that
Lilly shall remain liable and responsible to ACI for the performance and observance of all such obligations by such Affiliate.


 


Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, in the event that either Party assigns or otherwise transfers this Agreement to any of such Party’s Affiliates,
any Change of Control of any such Affiliate shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Agreement for the purposes of, and subject
to, this Section ‎13.3.1. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section
13.3.1 shall be void and of no effect.


 


13.3.2. 
The rights to Information, materials and intellectual property: (i) controlled by a Third Party permitted
assignee of a Party that were controlled by such assignee (and not such Party) immediately prior to such assignment (other than
as a result of a license or other grant of rights, covenant or assignment by such Party or its Affiliates to, or for the benefit
of, such Third Party); or (ii) controlled by an Affiliate of a Party that becomes an Affiliate through any Change of Control
of such Party, that were controlled by such Affiliate (and not such Party) immediately prior to such Change of Control (other than
as a result of a license or other grant of rights, covenant or assignment by such Party or its other Affiliates to, or for the benefit of, such Affiliate),
in each case ((i) and (ii)), shall be automatically excluded from the rights licensed or granted to the other Party under this
Agreement.


 




    70


     


    




13.4.       Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law and if
the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such
provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in
lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal,
valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and
reasonably acceptable to the Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby waives any provision
of law that would render any provision hereof illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect.


 


13.5.       Dispute
Resolution.


 


13.5.1. 
Except as provided in Sections 5.2.3, 7.11.1 or 13.10, if a dispute arises between the Parties in connection
with or relating to this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith (a “Dispute”),
then either Party shall have the right to refer such Dispute to the Senior Officers for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations
during a period of ten (10) Business Days. Any final decision mutually agreed to by the Senior Officers shall be conclusive and
binding on the Parties. If such Senior Officers are unable to resolve any such Dispute within such ten (10)-Business Day period,
either Party shall be free to institute binding arbitration in accordance with Section ‎13.5.2
upon written notice to the other Party (an “Arbitration Notice”) and seek such remedies as may be available.


 


13.5.2. 
Upon receipt of an Arbitration Notice by a Party, the applicable Dispute shall be resolved by final and binding
arbitration before a panel of [*****] with relevant industry experience (the “Arbitrators”). Each of ACI and
Lilly shall promptly select [*****] each, which selections shall in no event be made later than thirty (30) days after the notice
of initiation of arbitration. [*****] shall be chosen promptly by mutual agreement of the Arbitrator chosen by ACI and the Arbitrator
chosen by Lilly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date that the last of such Arbitrators was appointed. The
Arbitrators shall determine what discovery will be permitted, consistent with the goal of reasonably controlling the cost and time
that the Parties must expend for discovery; provided that the Arbitrators shall permit such discovery as they deem necessary
to permit an equitable resolution of the dispute. The arbitration shall be administered by the London Centre for International
Arbitration (or its successor entity) by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration, except
as modified in this Agreement. The arbitration shall be held in London, England, and the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to
expedite the arbitration if requested by either Party. The Arbitrators shall, within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of
the arbitration hearing, issue a written award and
statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation
of any damages awarded. The decision or award rendered by the Arbitrators shall be final and non-appealable, and judgment may be
entered upon it in accordance with Applicable Law in Switzerland, or any


 




    71


     


    

other court of competent jurisdiction.
The Arbitrators shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall not be authorized to reform, modify or materially
change this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereunder. Each Party shall bear [*****]. Unless the Parties otherwise
agree in writing, during the period of time that any arbitration proceeding is pending under this Agreement, the Parties shall
continue to comply with all those terms and provisions of this Agreement that are not the subject of the pending arbitration proceeding.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deny any Party the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of
competent jurisdiction in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm, and such an action may be filed
and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings and decisions of the Arbitrator
under this Section 13.5.2 shall be deemed Confidential Information of both Parties under Article 9.


 


13.6.       Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Switzerland,
excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement
to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. The Parties agree to exclude the application to this Agreement of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.


 


13.7.       Notices.


 


13.7.1. 
Notice Requirements. Any notice, request, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication permitted
or required under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall refer specifically to this Agreement and shall be deemed given only

deposit with an internationally recognized overnight delivery service. Any notice delivered by facsimile shall be confirmed by
a hard copy delivered as soon as practicable thereafter. This Section ‎13.7.1 is not intended

13.8.       Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, together with the Schedules attached hereto, sets forth and constitutes the entire
agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior agreements, understandings,
promises and representations, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby. Each Party confirms that it
is not relying on any representations or warranties of the other Party except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. No
amendment, modification, release or discharge shall be binding upon the Parties unless in writing and duly executed by authorized
representatives of both Parties. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement and any Schedules or other attachments
hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall control.


 


13.9.       English Language. This Agreement shall be written and executed in and all other communications under or
in connection with this Agreement shall be in, the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official
version thereof and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English
version shall control.


 


13.10.   
Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in Section ‎2.7
and Articles ‎8 and ‎9 are reasonable and
necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and that such other Party would not have entered into this Agreement
in the absence of such restrictions and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles may result
in irreparable injury to such other Party for 


 




    73


     


    

which
there will be no adequate remedy at law. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles,
the non-breaching Party shall be authorized and entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief,
whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits
arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching
Party may be entitled in law or equity. Both Parties agree to waive any requirement that the other (i) post a bond or other
security as a condition for obtaining any such relief and (ii) show irreparable harm, balancing of harms, consideration of
the public interest or inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy. Nothing in this Section ‎13.10
is intended or should be construed, to limit either Party’s right to equitable relief or any other remedy for a breach of
any other provision of this Agreement.


 


13.11.   
Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time
by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument
duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder
or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of
any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. The rights and remedies provided herein
are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly
set forth herein.


 


13.12.   
No Benefit to Third Parties. Except as provided in Article 11, the covenants and agreements set forth
in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns and they shall not

Further Assurance. Each Party shall duly execute and deliver or cause to be duly executed and delivered,
such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements,
documents and instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with this Agreement or
to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof or to better assure and confirm unto such other Party its rights
and remedies under this Agreement.


 


13.14.   
Relationship of the Parties. It is expressly agreed that ACI, on the one hand, and Lilly, on the other
hand, shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint
venture or agency. Neither ACI, on the one hand, nor Lilly, on the other hand, shall have the authority to make any statements,
representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action that will be binding on the other, without the prior written
consent of the other Party to do so. All persons employed by a Party shall be employees of such Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations

AC Immune and Lilly Announce License
and Collaboration Agreement


 






		·	Multi-year agreement focuses on Morphomer
tau aggregation inhibitors, for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.



 


		·	AC Immune to receive an initial upfront
payment of CHF80 million and will be eligible for CHF60 million in potential near-term development milestones, up to approximately
CHF1.7 billion in other potential development, regulatory and commercial milestones, and low double-digit royalties. 



 


		·	Lilly to purchase $50 million note,
convertible to equity position in AC Immune.



 




Lausanne, Switzerland, and Indianapolis,
IN, USA, December 12, 2018 – AC Immune SA (NASDAQ: ACIU) and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) today announced that the
two companies have signed a license and collaboration agreement to research and develop tau aggregation inhibitor small molecules
for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. The collaboration combines
AC Immune’s proprietary MorphomerTM platform technology with Lilly’s clinical development expertise and
commercial capabilities in central nervous system disorders. The collaboration will focus primarily on AC Immune’s lead molecule,
ACI-3024, which has demonstrated tau aggregation inhibition in preclinical models.


 


Under the terms of the agreement, AC Immune
will receive an upfront payment of CHF80 million as well $50 million in exchange for a note, convertible to equity at a premium.
AC Immune is also eligible to receive CHF60 million in potential near-term development milestones, as well as other potential development,
regulatory and commercial milestones up to approximately CHF1.7 billion, and tiered royalty payments in the low double digits.


 


AC Immune will conduct the initial Phase
1 development of the Morphomer tau aggregation inhibitors, while Lilly will fund and conduct further clinical development. Lilly
will receive worldwide commercialization rights for the tau aggregation inhibitors in the area of Alzheimer’s disease. AC
Immune has retained certain development rights in orphan indications and co-development and co-promotion options in certain indications
outside AD.


 


Prof. Andrea Pfeifer, CEO of AC Immune,
said: “This landmark partnership with Lilly is transformational for the future of AC Immune. Lilly’s substantial experience
in neurology, and particularly in Alzheimer’s disease, is a major validation of our small molecule platform for CNS therapeutics.
It also demonstrates the potential of our pre-clinical assets and adds substantial value to our pipeline. We look forward to working
closely with Lilly in this exciting field over the coming years.”


 




     


     


    

“Lilly is an industry leader in Alzheimer’s
research, with numerous ongoing scientific programs that target suspected causes of the disease, including amyloid plaques and
tau tangles,” said Mark Mintun, M.D., vice president of neurodegeneration and pain research at Lilly. “This agreement
with AC Immune represents another opportunity to hopefully make progress against this devastating disease, and we look forward
to together bringing tau aggregation inhibitors into clinical development.”


 


This transaction will be reflected in Lilly's
reported results and financial guidance according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). There will be no change to
Lilly's 2018 non-GAAP earnings per share guidance as a result of this transaction. This transaction is subject to clearance under
the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and other customary closing conditions.


 


About AC Immune’s Tau MorphomersTM 


Several
chemical series of small molecules (MorphomersTM) have been identified which selectively and potently reduce toxic intracellular
misfolded and aggregated tau. Targeting intracellular misfolded and aggregated tau is widely recognized as an important and attractive
potential approach for interfering with the spread of tau pathology throughout the brain. In some proof-of-concept tauopathy models,
reduction of tau pathology was also accompanied by a reduction of associated neuroinflammatory markers – another key pathologic
feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).


 


About AC Immune  


AC Immune is a clinical-stage Swiss-based
biopharmaceutical company, listed on NASDAQ, which aims to become a global leader in precision medicine for neurodegenerative diseases.
The Company designs, discovers and develops therapeutic as well as diagnostic products intended to prevent and modify diseases
caused by misfolding proteins. AC Immune’s two proprietary technology platforms create antibodies, small molecules and vaccines
designed to address a broad spectrum of neurodegenerative indications, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The Company’s
pipeline features nine therapeutic and three diagnostic product candidates – with five product candidates currently in clinical
trials.

Lilly and AC Immune Announce License and Collaboration
Agreement




 


		·	Multi-year agreement focuses on Morphomer tau aggregation inhibitors,
for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.






		·	AC Immune to receive an initial upfront payment of CHF80 million
and will be eligible for CHF60 million in potential near-term development milestones, up to approximately CHF1.7 billion in other
potential development, regulatory and commercial milestones, and low double-digit royalties. 






		·	Lilly to purchase $50 million note, convertible to equity position
in AC Immune.



 


INDIANAPOLIS, IN and LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND — Eli Lilly
and Company (NYSE:LLY) and AC Immune SA (NASDAQ: ACIU) today announced that the two companies have signed a license and collaboration
agreement to research and develop tau aggregation inhibitor small molecules for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
(AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. The collaboration combines AC Immune’s proprietary MorphomerTM platform
technology with Lilly’s clinical development expertise and commercial capabilities in central nervous system disorders. The
collaboration will focus primarily on AC Immune’s lead molecule, ACI-3024, which has demonstrated tau aggregation inhibition
in preclinical models.


 


Under the terms of the agreement, AC Immune will receive an
upfront payment of CHF80 million as well $50 million in exchange for a note, convertible to equity at a premium. AC Immune is also
eligible to receive CHF60 million in potential near-term development milestones, as well as other potential development, regulatory
and commercial milestones up to approximately CHF1.7 billion, and tiered royalty payments in the low double digits.


 


AC Immune will conduct the initial Phase 1 development of the
Morphomer tau aggregation inhibitors, while Lilly will fund and conduct further clinical development. Lilly will receive


 




     


     


    

worldwide commercialization rights for the tau aggregation inhibitors
in the area of Alzheimer’s disease. AC Immune has retained certain development rights in orphan indications and co-development
and co-promotion options in certain indications outside AD.


 


“Lilly is an industry leader in Alzheimer’s research,
with numerous ongoing scientific programs that target suspected causes of the disease, including amyloid plaques and tau tangles,”
said Mark Mintun, M.D., vice president of neurodegeneration and pain research at Lilly. “This agreement with AC Immune represents
another opportunity to hopefully make progress against this devastating disease, and we look forward to together bringing tau aggregation
inhibitors into clinical development.”


 


Prof. Andrea Pfeifer, CEO of AC Immune, said: “This landmark
partnership with Lilly is transformational for the future of AC Immune. Lilly’s substantial experience in neurology, and
particularly in Alzheimer’s disease, is a major validation of our small molecule platform for CNS therapeutics. It also demonstrates
the potential of our pre-clinical assets and adds substantial value to our pipeline. We look forward to working closely with Lilly
in this exciting field over the coming years.”


 


This transaction will be reflected in Lilly's reported results
and financial guidance according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). There will be no change to Lilly's 2018 non-GAAP
earnings per share guidance as a result of this transaction. This transaction is subject to clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act and other customary closing conditions.


 


About AC Immune’s Tau Morphomers


 


Several chemical series of small molecules (MorphomersTM)
have been identified which selectively and potently reduce toxic intracellular misfolded and aggregated tau. Targeting intracellular
misfolded and aggregated tau is widely recognized as an important and attractive potential approach for interfering with the spread
of tau pathology throughout the brain. In some proof-of-concept tauopathy models, reduction of tau pathology was also accompanied
by a reduction of associated neuroinflammatory markers – another key pathologic feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

AC Immune is a clinical-stage Swiss-based biopharmaceutical
company, listed on NASDAQ, which aims to become a global leader in precision medicine for neurodegenerative diseases. The Company
