Promptly following the payment for Clinical Supply, LCB shall transfer to Pyxis or its designated CMO (i) all LCB Product-Specific Know-How and all data, information, assets and other materials (including starting materials and research materials, DNA, protein sequences, constructs, cell lines, reagents, antibodies and tissue samples), and GMP
and shelf-life information relating thereto, Controlled by LCB or its Affiliates (or Third Party CMOs, to the extent LCB has the right to assign, transfer and/or sublicense such materials under its agreements with such Third Party CMOs; provided,
that LCB shall use good-faith efforts to obtain such right), necessary or reasonably useful for Pyxis to Manufacture the Licensed Compound and Licensed Product, in each case as a whole, in the Pyxis Territory, as its sole cost and expense. At the
reasonable request of Pyxis from time to time, LCB shall make its employees and consultants (including personnel of its Affiliates and Third Party CMOs) available to Pyxis and its designees to provide reasonable consultation and technical assistance
in order to ensure an orderly transfer of such materials and technology to Pyxis and its designees and to assist Pyxis and its designees in the Manufacture of the Licensed Compound or Licensed Products, in each case as a whole. It is expressly
acknowledged and agreed by the Parties that Pyxis or its Affiliates may contract directly with Third Party CMOs that Manufacture the Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products, in each case as a whole, on behalf of LCB or its Affiliates, provided
however, that the Parties shall cooperate and coordinate in good faith through the JSC as to such matters and LCB shall retain decision making authority in respect of Manufacturing matters concerning the LCB Elements or involving the LCB Regulatory
Information, unless such Manufacturing matters are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the safety of the Licensed Products or will delay any material Development activities of Pyxis, its Affiliates or their Sublicensees, in which
case the dispute resolution mechanism in the Agreement will apply.

	 	5.2	 Development Milestones. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, Pyxis shall pay
to LCB the following one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable payments set forth in the table immediately below for the first
achievement by Pyxis or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, of the development milestone events for a Licensed Product in the Field in the Pyxis Territory. [***] or the avoidance of doubt, no payment set forth in this Section 5.2 below shall be
payable more than once no matter how many times a Licensed Product achieves an applicable milestone. Milestones are separately due for: (i) each new Indication for any Licensed Product which has previously achieved a milestone for a prior
Indication; (ii) any Indication for a different Licensed Product for which Indication such Licensed Product has not previously achieved a milestone for such Indication; or (iii) in the case where a clinical trial milestone has not been
achieved for the same Indication for the same Licensed Product, the highest applicable development milestone will be deemed to have been achieved. For example, if one Licensed Product achieves Initiation of a first Phase 1 Clinical Trial for a first
Indication achieved by any Licensed Product, a development milestone for Initiation of a first Phase 2 Clinical Trial by a second Licensed Product (even if for a different or the same Indication than the first Indication for the other Licensed
Product) a second milestone will be paid. Or, if a Licensed Product achieves Initiation of Phase 3 Clinical Trial, for an Indication for which such Licensed Product has not previously achieved a Phase 3 Clinical Trial development milestone, the
payment shall be the highest payment for a Phase 3 Clinical Trial development milestone that has not yet been paid.

 Concurrent with the Royalty Report pursuant to Section 5.6 (Royalty Reports), Pyxis shall pay to LCB
royalties calculated pursuant to this Section 5.5 (Royalty Payments). 
 In the event that Pyxis enters into an agreement with a Third
Party to obtain a license under a Patent Right or other Intellectual Property Right owned or controlled by such Third Party that is necessary to Exploit a Licensed Compound, then royalties due for the Net Sales of the Licensed Product shall be
reduced by [***] of the amount of royalties paid to such Third Party in respect of such agreement. 
 On a country by country basis in the
Pyxis Territory, if during the applicable Royalty Term for a Licensed Product if such Licensed Product is sold in a country and is not Covered by a Valid Claim of any Patent Claim in the LCB IP in such country at the time of such sale, then the
royalties due for the Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced by [***]. 
 In no event, however, will royalties
payable be reduced by more than [***] of the royalty provided in the table above. 
  

	 	5.5	 Royalty Reports. Within [***] following the end of each Calendar Quarter after the First Commercial Sale
of Licensed Product in the Pyxis Territory, Pyxis shall provide LCB with a report (“Royalty Report”) containing the following information for the applicable Calendar Quarter: the amount of gross sales of the Licensed Product in the
Pyxis Territory, an itemized calculation of Net Sales in the Pyxis Territory showing deductions provided for in the definition of “Net Sales,” a calculation of the royalty payment due on such sales (on an aggregate and not on a sale-by-sale basis), an accounting of the number of units of the Licensed Product sold, the exchange rate for each country in which the Licensed Product was sold, the
application of the reductions, if any, made in accordance with the royalty reduction provisions of Section 5.5 (Royalty Payments). 



  
 25 














	 	5.6	 Payments and Taxes. All sums due under the Agreement: 



 

	 	(a)	 all payments made under the Agreement shall be paid in US Dollars; 



 

	 	(b)	 unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, shall be paid in US Dollars to the account notified to the other Party,
and in the case of Net Sales received in a currency other than US Dollars, the royalty shall be calculated in the other currency and then converted into equivalent US Dollars at the buying rate of such other currency, as quoted by Bloomberg as at
the close of business on the last Business Day of the reporting period with respect to which the payment is made; and 


  

	 	(c)	 shall be made without deduction of income tax or other taxes, charges, or duties of any kind whatsoever that
may be imposed, except insofar as a Party is required by applicable laws to withhold tax from the payment to the other Party. If a Party is required by applicable laws to withhold tax from a payment to the other Party under the Agreement, then the
Party who is making the payment shall: (i) deduct such tax from the payment made to the other Party; (ii) timely pay the withheld taxes to the proper taxing authority; and (iii) promptly send proof of payment to the other Party and
certify the receipt of the payment by the taxing authority. Prior to the imposition of any withholding tax on a payment under the Agreement, the Party making the payment that is subject to the withholding shall inform the other Party of its
obligation to withhold tax and the Parties shall co-operate and take all steps reasonably and lawfully available to them to avoid such withholding taxes and to obtain double taxation relief under any
applicable income tax treaty or otherwise. The Party required by applicable laws to make any such withholding, shall provide the other Party with all such certificates or other documents to enable the Parties to obtain a refund of such withheld
taxes and any appropriate relief from double taxation of the payment in question. Pyxis shall make any payments due under the Agreement to LCB either by itself, or through an Affiliate in the United States where the only withholding or other taxes
deducted from the payments is from the United States to the Republic of Korea or another jurisdiction with no greater withholding or other taxes for payments from United States (without regard to other jurisdictions) made to Republic of Korea as of
the Effective Date. 


  

	 	(d)	 Audit. Pyxis shall maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit LCB to confirm
the accuracy of the calculation of royalties, milestones, and other payments under the Agreement. Upon reasonable prior notice, but not more than once per Calendar Year, unless there has been a prior underpayment by more than [***] such records
shall be available during regular business hours for a period of [***] from the end of the calendar year to which they pertain for examination at the expense of LCB by an independent certified public accountant selected by LCB and reasonably
acceptable to Pyxis, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the financial reports and correctness of the payments furnished by Pyxis pursuant to the Agreement. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid shall be paid within [***] ] from the
accountant’s report, plus interest, as set forth in Section 5.7(e) (Late Payment) from the original due date. Any amounts shown to have been overpaid shall be refunded within [***] ] from the accountant’s report. LCB shall bear the
full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by Pyxis of more than [***] of the amount due, in which case Pyxis shall bear the cost of such audit. The audit rights in this Section 5.7(d) (Audit) shall survive the Term for
[***]. Once a particular Calendar Year has been audited, that Calendar Year may not be audited again. 



  
 26 














	 	(e)	 Late Payment. All payments due to a Party hereunder shall be made in US Dollars by wire transfer of
immediately available funds into an account designated by the receiving Party. If a Party does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date, such payment will bear interest from the due date until the date of payment at the per
annum rate of the lesser of: (i) [***] over the then-current US prime lending rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal); or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. 



 

	6.	 Intellectual Property 



 

	 	6.1	 Ownership of Arising IP. 



 

	 	(a)	 Except as set specifically set forth in Sections 6.1(d) and 6.1(e) ownership will follow inventorship for all
Arising IP, with inventorship being determined in accordance with United States patent laws (regardless of where the applicable activities occurred). Arising IP invented solely by or on behalf of LCB or any of its Affiliates will be solely owned by
LCB or any of its Affiliates (“LCB Arising IP”). Arising IP invented solely by or on behalf of Pyxis or any of its Affiliates will be solely owned by Pyxis or any of its Affiliates (“Pyxis Arising IP”). Arising IP
invented jointly by LCB or any of its Affiliates and Pyxis or any of its Affiliates will be jointly owned by both Parties (“Joint Arising IP”). 



 

	 	(b)	 Each Party will promptly disclose to the other Party any Arising IP developed, created, conceived, or reduced
to practice by or on behalf of such Party or any of its Affiliates during the Term. Each Party will obligate any employees, Sublicensees, and Third Party contractors to assign all Arising IP to such Party so that each Party can comply with its
obligations under this Section 6.1 (Ownership of Arising IP), and each Party will promptly obtain such assignment. 


  

	 	(c)	 Each Party will have an undivided one-half (1/2) interest in and to the
Joint Arising IP. Each Party, for itself and on behalf of any of its Affiliates, licensees and Sublicensees, and employees, subcontractors, consultants and agents of any of the foregoing, hereby assigns (and to the extent such assignment can only be
made in the future hereby agrees to assign), to the other Party a joint and undivided interest in and to all Joint Arising IP. 


  

	 	(d)	 For Antibody IP, any improvements, modifications or derivatives identified, developed, generated or conceived
pursuant to the Agreement shall be owned by LCB. Pyxis shall disclose to LCB any Antibody IP arising hereunder promptly and in any event within [***], after becoming aware of such Intellectual Property. Pyxis hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, to
LCB all right, title and interest in and to any Antibody IP identified, developed, generated or conceived by Pyxis pursuant to the Agreement. 


  

	 	(e)	 For LCB Background IP, any improvements or enhancements identified, developed, generated or conceived pursuant
to the Agreement shall be owned by LCB. Pyxis shall disclose to LCB any LCB Background IP arising hereunder promptly and in any event within [***], after becoming aware of such Intellectual Property. Pyxis hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, to
LCB all right, title and interest in and to any LCB Background IP identified, developed, generated or conceived by Pyxis pursuant to the Agreement. 



  
 27 














	 	6.2	 Filing and Prosecution of Product-Specific Patent Rights. As promptly as reasonably practicable after
the Effective Date and where possible LCB shall file, in consultation with Pyxis and in coordination with Pyxis’s counsel (in each case in good faith),    appropriate divisionals, continuations or other appropriate filings
so as to create separate LCB Product-Specific Patent Rights. LCB shall provide Pyxis with drafts of such filings sufficiently in advance of submitting such filings or responses so as to allow for a reasonable opportunity for Pyxis to review and
comment thereon in consultation with LCB, and LCB shall implement all reasonable comments it receives from Pyxis thereon. 


  

	 	6.3	 Prosecution, Enforcement, and Defense. Subject to the foregoing, the prosecution, maintenance,
enforcement, and defence of LCB Product-Specific Patent Rights in the Pyxis Territory shall be at the discretion, cost and responsibility of Pyxis, through the use of counsel selected by Pyxis reasonably acceptable to LCB. Pyxis shall keep LCB
informed regarding the prosecution, maintenance, defense, and enforcement of the LCB Product-Specific Patent Rights, including by providing LCB with a copy of any material communications to and from any relevant authority regarding such LCB
Product-Specific Patent Rights, through the Joint Patent Committee and by providing LCB drafts of any material submissions or responses to be made to such authorities sufficiently in advance of submitting such submissions or responses so as to allow
for a reasonable opportunity for LCB to review and comment thereon in advance of the Joint Patent Committee meeting. The Parties shall consider in good faith the requests and suggestions with respect to such drafts in the Joint Patent Committee and
with respect to strategies for filing and prosecuting such LCB Product-Specific Patent Rights. In the event that Pyxis decides not to file, prosecute, or maintain any such LCB Product-Specific Patent Rights during the Term, (a) Pyxis shall
provide reasonable prior written notice to LCB of such intention in advance of a Joint Patent Committee meeting (which notice shall, in any event, be given no later than [***] prior to the next deadline for any action that may be taken with respect
to such LCB Product-Specific Patent Rights in such territory or other jurisdiction), and (ii) LCB shall thereupon have the option, in its sole discretion, to assume the control and direction of the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of such
LCB Product-Specific Patent Rights at its sole cost and expense in such country or other jurisdiction. 


  

	 	6.4	 Product Marks. Each Party will have the right to Commercialize the Licensed Product in its respective
territory using trademarks, logos, and trade names that it determines appropriate, which may vary by region or within a region (“Product Marks”). Each Party will solely own all rights, title, and interests in and to any Product
Marks adopted for use with the Licensed Product in its respective territory, including all goodwill related thereto, and will be responsible for the registration, filing, maintenance and enforcement of such Product Marks in its respective territory.



  

	 	6.5	 Joint Patent Committee. 



 

	 	(a)	 Pyxis and LCB agree to establish and convene a joint patent committee (the “Joint Patent
Committee”) to coordinate protection of each Party’s respective intellectual property rights and obligations under the Agreement. Within [***] after the Effective Date or at least prior to any action that needs to be taken with respect
to any intellectual property under the Agreement, each Party shall designate one (1) representative 



  
 28 














	 	
for the Joint Patent Committee with the appropriate level of experience in the subject area and sufficient seniority to have the necessary decision-making authority in order for the Joint Patent
Committee to fulfill its responsibilities. Either Party may designate substitutes for its Joint Patent Committee representative if such Party’s designated representative is unable to be present at a meeting. From time to time, each Party may
replace its Joint Patent Committee representatives by written notice to the other Party specifying the prior representative(s) and their replacement(s). The Parties shall use good faith efforts to achieve consensus regarding any actions. If the
Joint Patent Committee fails to reach agreement on any such matter, it shall be referred to the JSC. The Joint Patent Committee responsibilities are as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	 Each Party shall disclose any intellectual property arising under the Agreement, including improvements to LCB
Background IP, to the other Party promptly and in any event within [***], after becoming aware of such intellectual property. 


  

	 	(ii)	 The Parties agree to cooperate fully in the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of any LCB Product-Specific
Patent Rights and LCB Arising IP and Joint Arising IP Patent Rights under the Agreement and to coordinate any transfer of information therefore. 


  

	 	(iii)	 The Parties shall agree which Patent Rights in the LCB Arising IP or Joint Arising IP or LCB Product-Specific
IP shall be listed in the Purple Book or the Lists of Licensed Biological Products with Reference Product Exclusivity and Biosimilarity or Interchangeability Evaluations for any Licensed Product. 



 

	 	6.6	 Further Assurances. If requested by either Party, the other Party shall execute without delay such
formal licenses, assignments, or powers of attorney as may be necessary or appropriate for registration with patent offices and other relevant authorities of the rights granted under the Agreement. In the event of any conflict in meaning between any
such license, assignment or power of attorney and the provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of the Agreement shall prevail wherever possible.

the Receiving Party on terms that are no less onerous than those set out in the Agreement, and which extend to such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall ensure that all those Representatives or other recipients who have access to the
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party comply with the provisions of the Agreement, and the Receiving Party shall be liable to the Disclosing Party for any acts or omissions of any such Representative or other recipients, that would, if
effected by the Receiving Party, constitute a breach of the Agreement. 


  

	 	7.5	 Public Announcement. Except as set forth in Section 7.9 (Press Release), neither Party shall make,
nor permit any person to make, any public announcement, whether oral or written, concerning the Agreement that is not previously disclosed or otherwise in the public domain, or make any use of the name, symbol, trade mark, trade name or logo of the
other Party or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 


  

	 	7.6	 Publications. Each Party shall ensure that any and all intended publications or presentations in
respect of Licensed Compound and Licensed Product to be made public, shall not disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information, shall be subject to the approval of the Joint Patent Committee and shall be disclosed to the other Party for
review at least [***]] prior to any submission or other public disclosure of such publication or presentation. If the other Party determines that the publication contains patentable subject matter, the publishing Party agrees to postpone publication
or presentation of such Presentation for an additional [***] to permit the filing of a patent application. 


  

	 	7.7	 Disclosure of Results. Subject to Section 7.6 (Publications), each Party may publish or promote any
Results of that Party (but for clarity, not of Results obtained by the other Party). Each Party may publish or promote any Results of the other Party if permitted under Section 7.4, or with the prior consent of the other Party (not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in each case after providing the other Party with as much notice as is reasonably practicable. The Party intending to disclose any Results shared by the other Party shall disclose such intended
publication to the other Party shall postpone any portion of the publication for an additional period of up to [***], to permit the filing of a patent application and shall reasonably take into account any comments and recommendations of such other
Party prior to publication. 



  
 31 














	 	7.8	 Use of Name. Neither Party shall use the name of the other Party in any public disclosure, publicity or
advertising involving the existence of the Agreement or its subject matter without the prior written approval of the other Party, unless otherwise permitted under this Article 7 (Confidential Information and Disclosure).

under Section 7.3 (Disclosure Required by Law) or this Section 7.10 (Non-Disclosure of Financial Terms), without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed in the case of disclosures under Section 7.4) except for the total upfront payment and total aggregate sum of the payments and any revenue-sharing ratio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pyxis may disclose the
financial terms set out in Article 5 (Payments) without LCB’s consent to bona fide actual or potential bankers, investors, or lenders interested in investing in Pyxis’s Series B Financing, each of which has entered into

modify,    terminate, or waive compliance with any material provision of, the license with Y-Biologics Inc. to LCB for use of the monoclonal anti-DLK1 antibody within LCB67 in a manner that
would adversely affect Pyxis’s rights under this Agreement, except with Pyxis’s prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

 36 














	 	10.2	 Termination. 


  


	 	(a)	 Termination for Material Breach. Either Party may terminate the Agreement at any time by notice in
writing to the other Party, such notice to take effect [***] from receipt of such notice if such other Party is in material breach of the Agreement (including failure to make any payment, which failure shall automatically be deemed a material
breach, or Commercially Reasonable Efforts or breach of any provisions of Article 6 or 7), unless the breach is failure to make a payment, in which case the notice will take effect [***] from receipt. If such breach can be cured within such [***]
period (or [***] period in the case of failure to make a payment), then such termination will not be effective if the breaching Party promptly commences actions to cure such breach and thereafter diligently continues such actions and cures such
breach during such [***] period after such notice. If an allegedly breaching Party disputes the occurrence of the material breach, then the cure period set forth in this Section 10.2(a) (Termination for Material Breach) shall be tolled during
the period that the alleged material breach is being disputed in accordance with Sections 11.1 (Disputes) and 11.2 (Arbitration) of the Agreement, until the dispute is finally resolved. From the after the date that the dispute has been finally

the purpose of solvent amalgamation or reconstruction); 


  

	 	(iii)	 a liquidator, administrator, administrative receiver, receiver, or trustee is appointed in respect of the whole
or any part of such other Party’s assets or business; or 


  

	 	(iv)	 seeks relief or if proceedings are commenced against the other Party, or on its behalf, under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or debtors’ relief law and those proceedings have not been vacated or set aside within [***] after the commencement of those proceedings. 


  

	 	(d)	 Termination for Patent Challenge. In the event of a Patent Challenge by Pyxis or its Affiliates or
Sublicensee, LCB may, in its sole discretion, as and to the extent permissible under applicable law, elect to terminate the Agreement in whole or in part with respect to the Patent Rights that are the subject of the Patent Challenge, upon [***]
notice in writing to Pyxis, such termination to take effect immediately following such notice period; provided that if Pyxis or its Affiliate or Sublicensee withdraws (or causes to be withdrawn) such Patent Challenge within [***] after being
requested to do so by LCB in writing (which termination notice will be deemed a request), then LCB will have no right to terminate the licenses under the Agreement with respect to such Patent Rights pursuant to this Section 10.2(d) (Termination
for Patent Challenge). In addition, notwithstanding 



  
 37 














	 	
the foregoing, LCB will have no right to terminate the relevant licenses under the relevant Patent Rights under the Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.2(d) (Termination for Patent
Challenge) with respect to: (i) any affirmative defense or other validity, enforceability, or non-infringement challenge, whether in the same action or in any other agency or forum of competent

Pyxis demands that such Sublicensee withdraw such Patent Challenge promptly after Pyxis becomes aware of such Patent Challenge and terminates the sublicense agreement with the applicable Sublicensee if such Sublicensee does not withdraw such Patent
Challenge within [***]] after receipt of notice from Pyxis; or (iii) any Patent Challenge brought by a Third Party [***] or more prior to the initial written indication of interest that results in such Third Party becoming an Affiliate of Pyxis
as a result of a Change of Control of Pyxis or such Third Party as long as Pyxis or such Third Party, its Affiliates and their sublicensees, as applicable, institute commercially reasonable safeguards or firewalls between the personnel and advisors
assisting or working on such Patent Challenge and personnel and advisors assisting or working on any Licensed Product or ROFN Eligible Product so that personnel and advisors assisting or working on such Patent Challenge do not have access to or
knowledge of, and may not use, LCB IP or Arising IP; 

  

	 	(e)	 Termination for Convenience. Pyxis may terminate the Agreement with respect to any country in the Pyxis
Territory upon ninety (90) Days prior written notice to LCB. 


  

	 	(f)	 Breach of Opt-In Agreement. Without limiting either Party’s
right to terminate pursuant to Section 10.2(a) a Party may terminate the Agreement in whole or in part if the other Party materially breaches the Opt-In Agreement including by LCB for Pyxis’s failure
either to issue LCB the Initial Shares (as defined in the Opt-In Agreement) by the Financing Date or to pay to LCB the [***] required by Section 2.2(b) of the
Opt-In Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, termination of the Opt-In Agreement by LCB shall not terminate Pyxis’ obligation to share Sublicense Revenue with LCB
if LCB elects not to terminate the Agreement.

United States Code as amended (the “Code”) for the license of “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the Code and constitutes a license of “intellectual property” for purposes of any similar
applicable laws in any other country in the Territory. The Parties further agree that Pyxis, as licensee of such rights under the Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its protections, rights, and elections under the Code, including
under Section 365(n) of the Code, and any similar applicable laws in any other country in the Territory. 


  

	 	(b)	 All rights, powers, and remedies of Pyxis provided for in this Section 10 are in addition to and not in
substitution for any and all other rights, powers, and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including under the Code and any similar applicable laws in any other 




  
 38 














	 	
country in the Territory). The Parties agree that they intend the following Pyxis rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by law, including, for purposes of the Code in the event of a
bankruptcy case of LCB under the Code or any similar insolvency proceeding under any similar applicable laws, in each case subject to Pyxis’s election to retain its rights as a licensee under Section 365(n) of the Code (or such similar
applicable laws) and the Agreement, including continuing payments as provided thereby or hereunder: (i) the right of a complete duplicate or access to, as appropriate, any LCB Product-Specific IP (including all embodiments thereof), or, if any
such LCB Product-Specific IP (or embodiments thereof) are not already in LCB’s possession, any Third Party with whom LCB contracts to perform an obligation of LCB under the Agreement which is necessary for the Exploitation of the Licensed
Compounds or Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory; (ii) the right to contract directly with any Third Party described in paragraph (i) to complete the contracted work; and (iii) the right to cure any breach of LCB under any
such agreement with a Third Party if LCB becomes incapable of curing, or refuses in writing to cure any such breach and the right to set off or recoup the costs thereof against amounts payable to LCB under the Agreement. The Parties agree that this
Section 10.3 (Rights in Bankruptcy) shall apply to LCB as if LCB were the licensee and Pyxis were the licensor mutatis mutandis, in the event of the bankruptcy of Pyxis and LCB and Pyxis are party to a license set forth in
Section 10.4(d). 

  

	 	10.4	 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement by either Party under Section 10.2
(Termination), then with respect to the countries or regions for this which the Agreement is terminated: 


  

	 	(a)	 Termination of License. Pyxis and its Affiliates shall immediately cease to exercise the rights under
the LCB IP, except that Pyxis and its Affiliates shall be entitled to sell, use, or otherwise dispose of (subject to payment of royalties due) any unsold or unused stocks of the Licensed Products during a period of [***]] after the effective date of
the termination of the Agreement. 


  

	 	(b)	 Termination of the Opt-In Agreement. At the effective date of
termination of the Agreement the Opt-In Agreement shall terminate. 


  

	 	(c)	 Sublicenses. All Sublicenses of the LCB IP shall survive any termination of the Agreement provided the
applicable Sublicensee is not then in material breach of its Sublicense, and such Sublicense shall become a direct license to such Sublicensee, and in such direct license, the scope of the license grant shall be the same as the scope of such
Sublicensee’s Sublicense grant under the applicable Sublicense. 


  

	 	(d)	 Assignment of Results and License under Pyxis IP. Pyxis shall, at LCB’s request, [***]transfer and
assign to LCB the following items with respect to Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products, to the extent reasonably necessary or reasonably useful for the Exploitation of the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products in the region or Territory: all
clinical and regulatory correspondence; all Regulatory Approvals held by Pyxis or its Affiliates; all Results, including the trial master file, the clinical database and the safety database; and marketing reports, reimbursement studies and
promotional materials specifically related to the Licensed Compound or Licensed Product (collectively, the “Pyxis-Developed Materials”). 



  
 39 














	 	Upon termination, Pyxis shall, at LCB’s request, grant to LCB an exclusive, royalty-bearing (in the case of termination under Section 10.2(a) or 10.2(e)), and worldwide license (with the right to sublicense in
multiple tiers) to the Pyxis IP solely for purposes of the Exploitation of the Licensed Compound and Licensed Products as they exist as of the effective date of termination, as applicable (the “Pyxis Exclusive License Grant”). The
Parties will agree in good faith regarding a technology transfer plan with respect to the Pyxis-Developed Materials to facilitate LCB’s practice of the foregoing license at LCB’s cost (to the extent in addition to what is required under
Section 4.10) which shall be at an agreed reasonable Pyxis FTE rate thereafter. In consideration for the Pyxis Exclusive License Grant and the transfer and assignment of Pyxis-Developed Materials, LCB shall pay Pyxis the following royalty rate
with respect to Net Sales of the returned Licensed Product by LCB, its Affiliates or Sublicensees depending upon the stage of Development of Licensed Product at the time of termination for a period beginning on the date of the license grant and
continuing until the expiration of the last patent claim covering composition of matter covering the Licensed Compound included in the Pyxis Non-Exclusive License Grant.

of any such right, shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy (including any right to claim damages) that such Party may have in the event of a breach of contract or other default by the other Party.

	 	(a)	 Subject to Section 12.3(b), neither Party may assign, mortgage, charge, or otherwise transfer any rights
or obligations under the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party. 


  

	 	(b)	 With written notice to the other Party before such assignment or transfer, either Party may assign and transfer
all its rights and obligations under the Agreement to (i) an Affiliate, or (ii) any counter-party to a Change of Control transaction, provided that the assignee undertakes in writing to the other Party to be bound by and perform the
obligations of the assignor under the Agreement. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 12.3 (Assignment) will be null, void and of no legal effect. 



 

	 	12.4	 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of either Party to exercise any right or remedy under the
Agreement shall be construed or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude the further exercise of such right or remedy. 



 

	 	12.5	 Invalid Clauses. If any provision or part of the Agreement is held to be invalid, amendments to the
Agreement may be made by the addition or deletion of wording as appropriate to remove the invalid part or provision but otherwise retain the provision and the other provisions of the Agreement to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law
such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering into the Agreement may be realized. 


  

	 	12.6	 No agency. Neither Party shall act or describe itself as the agent of the other, nor shall it make or
represent that it has authority to make any commitments on the other’s behalf. Each Party will act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in the Agreement will be construed to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind,
or commit the other Party in any way. Nothing herein will be construed to create the relationship of partners, principal and agent, or joint-venture partners between the Parties.

	 	12.7	 Performance by Affiliates. Each Party may perform any obligations and exercise any right
hereunder through any of its Affiliates, provided that such Party will remain primarily responsible for the other Party hereunder. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by any of its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under
the Agreement, and will cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of the Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under the Agreement will be deemed a
breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate. 



 

	 	12.8	 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be held liable to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted
under or breached the Agreement for failure or delay in achieving any objective, satisfying any condition, or performing any obligation under the Agreement to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or events beyond
the reasonable control of such Party, including acts of God, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil commotions, government actions, unavailability of supplies, materials or
transportation, fire, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, pandemics, the spread of infectious diseases, and quarantines (“Force Majeure”). The affected Party will notify the other Party in writing of any Force Majeure circumstances as
soon as reasonably practical, will provide a good faith estimate of the period for which its failure or delay in performance under the Agreement is expected to continue based on currently available information and shall use best efforts to mitigate
the effects such Force Majeure and promptly resume performance upon the cessation thereof. 


  

	 	12.9	 Notices. Any notice to be given under the Agreement must be in writing and be delivered to the other
Party by hand or courier. Any notice shall be deemed to have been received on the Day of delivery. This Section 12.9 (Notices) is not intended to govern the
