3.5. Funding; Opt-Out. 

(a) Other than with respect to AVEO’s supply of Ficlatuzumab (which is governed by Section 3.3), Biodesix will reimburse AVEO for
all Development Costs incurred by AVEO in connection with the conduct of the NSCLC POC Trial after the Effective Date in accordance with the NSCLC POC Trial Plan, up to an aggregate reimbursement of fifteen million U.S. dollars ($15,000,000)
(the “Cap”), subject to reduction as set forth below for Development Costs incurred by Biodesix for the conduct of the NSCLC POC Trial with the approval of the JSC. If the NSCLC POC Trial Plan budget is modified such that the
aggregate Development Costs to be incurred in conducting the NSCLC POC Trial will exceed the Cap, then such excess Development Costs shall constitute Additional Development Costs and shall be borne by the Parties as set forth in Section 3.5(b)
below. If Biodesix incurs Development Costs in connection with the conduct of the NSCLC POC Trial with the approval of the JSC, Biodesix shall pay for such costs, such costs shall reduce the Cap, and, after the Cap has been reached, such costs
incurred by Biodesix shall be included in Additional Development Costs and borne by the Parties as set forth in Section 3.5(b). 
 (b)
Biodesix will reimburse AVEO for 50% of all Additional Development Costs incurred by AVEO. “Additional Development Costs” means: (i) all Development Costs incurred in conducting the NSCLC POC Trial Plan in excess of the Cap;
(ii) all Development Costs associated with the Development of Ficlatuzumab under the Development Plan other than costs incurred in conducting the NSCLC POC Trial Plan; and (iii) Ficlatuzumab Cost of Goods for supply in excess of the
Existing Supply of Ficlatuzumab. If Biodesix incurs Additional Development Costs with the approval of the JSC, such costs shall be reconciled with, and off-set from, as appropriate, the Additional Development
Costs incurred by AVEO such that each Party bears 50% of the aggregate Additional Development Costs. 
 (c) Either Party may elect to Opt-Out solely after the earlier to occur of: (i) the Cap being reached or (ii) the completion of the NSCLC POC Trial, by providing three (3) months written notice to the other Party (the “Opt-Out Notice”), but in no event may either Party Opt-Out after the First Commercial Sale of Ficlatuzumab. In the event a Party elects to Opt-Out, the Parties shall proceed as specified under Section 3.6. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party has the right to Opt-Out except as expressly set forth in
this Section 3.5(c). The effective date of any permitted Opt-Out shall be the date three (3) months following the date the Opt-Out Notice is given to the other
Party.

mass spectrometry analysis software or any portion thereof shall belong solely and entirely to Biodesix with no obligations of any kind to AVEO or any Third Party pursuant to any agreement with AVEO or any Third Party that obtains access to the
VeriStrat Results, VeriStrat, VeriStrat Labels or Biodesix’s ProTS mass spectrometry analysis software or any portion thereof from AVEO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) AVEO shall have no liability for any Third Party’s independent
activities in violation of the foregoing restrictions, and (y) AVEO and Biodesix may collaborate to perform translational work to identify a mechanism of action link between VeriStrat and Ficlatuzumab and/or to compare and correlate the
effectiveness of biomarkers. 
 In addition, during the Profit Sharing Phase: 

(a) VeriStrat will be used as a selection assay with respect to Ficlatuzumab for the NSCLC POC Trial indication and will be the focus of a co-development BLA and PMA approval assuming that the NSCLC POC Trial using VeriStrat as a selection assay are positive (i.e., primary endpoints met), provided that an EGFR mutation assay may also be used and be
required for Development for such indication. In addition, AVEO may use other assays solely for data in support of research, BLA application and drug marketing; 

(b) For clinical trial activities occurring after the NSCLC POC Trial, Biodesix shall have the right, at Biodesix’s cost, to analyze any
Ficlatuzumab clinical trial samples with VeriStrat or Biodesix technology. 
 (c) The JSC shall have final decision-making authority on any
further Companion Diagnostic Development of VeriStrat in connection with Ficlatuzumab as well as other diagnostic tests and/or biomarkers which may be useful for Ficlatuzumab, with the understanding that the JSC will make decisions based on the
totality of the data and scientific evidence, with the intent to optimize the value of Ficlatuzumab; provided, however, that, during the Profit Sharing Phase, the JSC shall give Biodesix the first opportunity (which opportunity may be provided
through Biodesix’s participation in JSC deliberations), on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis, to develop and/or supply any and all diagnostic tests and/or biomarkers determined by the JSC to be useful for Ficlatuzumab, to the extent such
development and/or supply is consistent with 

  
 19 














 EXECUTION VERSION 

 

 
optimizing the value of Ficlatuzumab. For clarity, the Parties agree that such deliberations shall be biased in favor of Biodesix in the event that any
non-Biodesix test also under consideration by the JSC is approximately equal in its potential to maximize the value of Ficlatuzumab to the potential offered by such Biodesix-test, provided that, the JSC’s
decisions as to whether or not to permit Biodesix to provide any such development and/or supply shall be based on the JSC’s determination of whether or not such development and/or supply by Biodesix would be consistent with optimizing the value
of Ficlatuzumab; and 
 (d) AVEO will notify Biodesix of any amendments to the AVEO Third-Party Agreements, including any amendments entered
into after delivery of an Opt-Out Notice by AVEO. 
 ARTICLE IV - LICENSING AND LICENSE REVENUE SHARING

 4.1. General. If either Party receives any communication from a Third-Party that inquires about licensing rights to
Ficlatuzumab, the receiving Party shall promptly notify the other Party. Subject to the approval of the JSC, the Parties may determine to license rights to one or more Third Parties for the Development and/or Commercialization of Ficlatuzumab in one
or more countries, provided that, if a Party has Opted-Out pursuant to Section 3.5(c), the other Party shall have sole decision-making authority over any such licensing of Development and/or
Commercialization rights. Provided that AVEO has not exercised its Opt-Out right, AVEO shall lead and control the negotiations of any agreement with any Licensee and keep Biodesix reasonably informed as to the
status thereof. In the event AVEO has exercised its Opt-Out, Biodesix will lead and control the negotiations of any agreement with any Licensee and keep AVEO reasonably informed as to the status thereof. Each
such license must be pursuant to a written agreement with AVEO or Biodesix, as the case may be, which written agreement shall be expressly approved by the JSC (except during the Opt-Out Phase), and the other
Party shall grant such rights and licenses as may be reasonably necessary to enable the contracting Party to enter into such license agreement. Each Party shall provide to the other Party a copy of any such written agreement it may enter into,
provided that such copy shall constitute the Confidential Information of the providing Party. 
 4.2. Scope. The parties acknowledge
that research agreements, clinical study agreements, investigator initiated studies, service agreements, manufacturing agreements, distribution agreements, promotion agreements and the like may contain a limited express or implied license to perform
the research, study, services or other activities that are the subject of said agreement. If the counterparty to any such agreement does not receive the right to Develop and/or Commercialize Ficlatuzumab other than as a service provider or
distributor for or on behalf of a Party, then (i) such agreement does not constitute a license agreement for which JSC approval is required under Section 4.1 and (ii) amounts received in connection with such agreement do not
constitute License Income hereunder. 
 4.3. License Income. 

(a) During the Profit Sharing Phase, AVEO shall remit to Biodesix fifty percent (50%) of all License Income accruing to AVEO during such time
period (i.e., the ‘Profit Share’ phase). 

  
 20 














 EXECUTION VERSION 

 

 (b) For such time period after Biodesix exercises its
Opt-Out (if any), AVEO shall remit to Biodesix twenty-five percent (25%) of License Income accruing to AVEO during such time period. 

(c) For such time period after AVEO exercises its Opt-Out (if any), Biodesix shall remit to AVEO
twenty-five percent (25%) of all License Income accruing to Biodesix during such time period. 
 ARTICLE V - PAYMENTS 

5.1. Development Costs. AVEO shall invoice Biodesix monthly while Development is ongoing for amounts incurred pursuant to the
Development Plan for which Biodesix is responsible pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.5, which invoices will provide reasonable detail with respect to each expense listed thereon. Provided such amounts are authorized by the Development Plan,
Biodesix will make payment of the same within [***] days of receipt of the invoice. If Biodesix incurs Additional Development Costs with the approval of the JSC as set forth in Section 3.5, such invoicing and payments pursuant to this
Section 5.1 shall account for such Additional Development Costs so that the Parties bear such costs as set forth in Section 3.5. 

5.2. License Income. All amounts due from one Party to the other Party under Article IV shall be due and payable on a Calendar
Quarterly Basis, with each payment encompassing amounts due associated with License Income actually received by the paying Party during such Calendar Quarter. Within [***] days of the end of each Calendar Quarter, each Party which received License
Income during such Calendar Quarter shall send a written report to the other Party setting forth the amount of License Income received and the corresponding payment amount due to the other Party under Article IV. The Party to receive such
payment amount shall invoice the other Party based on such report. 
 5.3. Payment Terms. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 5.1, all payments to be made by one Party to the other Party shall be made within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. All payments shall be in immediately available funds via either a bank wire transfer, an ACH (automated
clearing house) mechanism, or any other means of electronic funds transfer, at the paying Party’s election, to a bank account designated by the payee Party. All payments shall be made in U.S. dollars. No terms or conditions on any report,
invoice or similar document which would be in addition to or in conflict with any terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be of any force or effect. 

5.4. Late Payments. If a Party shall fail to make a timely payment pursuant to the terms of this Article V, interest shall accrue
on the past due amount as follows: 
 (a) for amounts [***] or fewer days past due, the rate applied shall be the [***] U.S. dollar
LIBOR rate effective for the date that payment was due (as published in The Wall Street Journal), computed for the actual number of days the payment was past due; and 

(b) for amounts greater than [***] days past due, the rate applied shall be the [***] U.S. dollar LIBOR rate effective for the date that
payment was due (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus [***] per annum, computed for the actual number of days the payment was past due.

 EXECUTION VERSION 

 

 5.5. Books and Records; Audit Rights. Each Party shall keep complete and accurate
records of the License Income accruing to and received by such Party, and AVEO shall keep complete and accurate records of Development Costs incurred which are subject to reimbursement by Biodesix under Sections 3.3 and 3.5. Additionally, AVEO
shall provide Biodesix with a monthly report detailing the percentage of time dedicated in such month to this co-development project by AVEO personnel, other than members of the JSC, the identify of such
persons, the annual salary of such persons, and a reasonably detailed description of the work performed by such persons within the applicable month. Each Party shall have the right, once annually at its own expense, to have an independent, certified
public accounting firm, selected by such Party (the “auditing Party”) and reasonably acceptable to the other Party (the “audited Party”), review any such records of the audited Party in the location(s) where such
records are maintained by the audited Party upon reasonable notice (which shall be no less than fourteen (14) days’ prior notice) and during regular business hours and under obligations of strict confidence, for the sole purpose of
verifying the basis and accuracy of payments made under this Agreement within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of the request for review; provided that, if the audit determines an overpayment, in the case of Development Costs, or
an underpayment, in the case of License Income, of greater than [***], the auditing party may elect to audit the payments made during the twenty four (24) months preceding the date of the request for review. The audited Party shall receive a
copy of each such report concurrently with receipt by the auditing Party. Should such inspection lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to the auditing Party’s detriment, the audited Party shall pay within [***] Business Days after its
receipt from the accounting firm of the certificate of the amount of the discrepancy. The auditing Party shall pay the full cost of the review unless the overpayment, in the case of Development Costs, or the underpayment, in the case of License
Income, is greater than [***] of the amount due for the applicable period, in which case the audited Party shall pay the reasonable cost charged by such accounting firm for such review. Any overpayment by the audited Party revealed by an examination
shall be paid by the auditing Party within thirty (30) days. 
 5.6. Taxes. Each payee Party shall pay any and all taxes levied
on account of all payments it receives under this Agreement. If laws or regulations require that taxes be withheld, the paying Party will (a) deduct those taxes from the remittable payment, (b) timely pay the taxes to the proper taxing
authority, and (c) send proof of payment to the payee Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of confirmation of payment from the relevant taxing authority. The paying Party will reasonably cooperate with the payee Party to obtain the
benefit of any applicable tax law or treaty, including the pursuit of any refund or credit of such tax to the payee Party. 
 ARTICLE VI -
NEGOTIATION OF DEFINITIVE FICLATUZUMAB CO-COMMERCIALIZATION AGREEMENT 
 6.1. Negotiation of
Definitive Commercialization Agreement. The Parties shall, upon either receipt of positive results from the NSCLC POC Trial (i.e., results that the JSC determines will support the commencement of Phase 3 Clinical Trials of Ficlatuzumab or mutual
agreement by the Parties to proceed with a Phase 3 Clinical Trial of Ficlatuzumab), commence negotiations in good faith on the definitive Commercialization Agreement. If the Parties have not reached agreement on all substantive terms of a final form
of the Commercialization Agreement within [***] days of such receipt or such mutual agreement, the Parties will meet in person with the aim of finalizing remaining open issues. If the Parties have not fully reached


  
 22 














 EXECUTION VERSION 

 

 
agreement on and executed the final form of definitive agreement within [***] days of such receipt or such mutual agreement, the remaining open issues will be escalated to the Chief
Executive Officers of each Party for joint resolution. The Chief Executive Officers shall meet in person to resolve all remaining issues and to agree on such final form o definitive agreement within [***] days of such receipt. Both Parties are
obliged to conduct the negotiations of the Commercialization Agreement in good faith and with reasonable diligence. Subject to Section 6.2 below, until such time as the Parties agree on and execute the final Commercialization Agreement, the
Parties recognize that each Party shall have the right to reasonably negotiate the terms and conditions thereof, including reasonable qualifications regarding terms and conditions outlined in Exhibit B, and no proposal by a Party to
reasonably qualify the terms and conditions outlined in Exhibit B shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement or any obligation created hereby. 

6.2. Definitive Term. The Parties acknowledge that certain details relating to the calculation of profits and losses associated with
the Commercialization of Ficlatuzumab in connection with VeriStrat must be mutually agreed upon in order to effectuate the following terms and conditions; however, the Parties hereby agree that the following term shall be included in the Commercial
Agreement: During the Profit Sharing Phase, AVEO and Biodesix shall share the profits and losses resulting from Commercialization of Ficlatuzumab by AVEO and Biodesix worldwide on a 50/50 basis. In addition, the Parties hereby agree that the
reimbursement and payment obligations provided for in Section 7.4(a) shall be included in the Commercialization Agreement. 
 ARTICLE VII -
VERISTRAT DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION 
 7.1. VeriStrat Development. Prior to the Effective Date, Biodesix commenced a
Development program for VeriStrat, and following the Effective Date Biodesix shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to continue to Develop VeriStrat in connection with Ficlatuzumab pursuant to Development plans approved by the JSC (such plans,
collectively the “VeriStrat Development Plan”), as such VeriStrat Development Plan may be amended by the JSC from time to time. An initial VeriStrat Development Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit E Biodesix
will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete its obligations under the VeriStrat Development Plan within the timeframes specified in the VeriStrat Development Plan. Biodesix will promptly inform AVEO in the event that it anticipates or
experiences a delay in the completion of any such obligations. Biodesix shall be responsible for any delay or failure by it (or its Affiliates) to timely complete its obligations under the VeriStrat Development Plan, except to the extent that
(a) such failure or delay is caused by a delay or failure of performance by AVEO or a contract manufacturer, or (b) as may otherwise be mutually agreed in writing by the Parties. 

7.2. Modifications to VeriStrat Development Plan. The Parties acknowledge that the initial Development Plan does not set forth all
material activities, timelines, obligations and specifications necessary for the execution of the VeriStrat Development Plan, and further acknowledge that requests from Regulatory Authorities may necessitate modifications to the VeriStrat
Development Plan. The Parties agree that, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the initial VeriStrat Development Plan will be modified and made more comprehensive pursuant to approval by the JSC, with the understanding that the
VeriStrat Development Plan shall meet the applicable regulatory criteria as required by the Regulatory Authorities for approval of 

  
 23 














 EXECUTION VERSION 

 

 
an IVD in the US e.g., FDA Drug and BLA requirements /CDx IVD requirements) and in the other Major Markets. Thereafter, as may be necessary from time-to-time, whether due to Regulatory Authority requests or otherwise, the JSC shall review proposed revisions to the VeriStrat Development Plan. If the JSC approves such revisions, then the JSC shall
revise the VeriStrat Development Plan accordingly without need for amending this Agreement. The Parties shall not unreasonably withhold their consent to appropriate VeriStrat Development Plan revisions. The revised VeriStrat Development Plan shall
thereafter be the VeriStrat Development Plan for all purposes of this Agreement. 
 7.3. Regulatory. Biodesix shall use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to obtain Regulatory Approval for VeriStrat as a Companion Diagnostic for Ficlatuzumab in each of the Major Market jurisdictions, in each case on a timeline that is consistent with the timeline for Regulatory Approval for
Ficlatuzumab in such jurisdiction. 
 7.4. Use of VeriStrat. Biodesix shall perform testing of Clinical Specimens using VeriStrat as
needed for the conduct of the Development Plan at no charge, provided that, upon Regulatory Approval of Ficlatuzumab in any jurisdiction for which Biodesix has not obtained third-party payor reimbursement from the primary reimbursement
authority in the applicable jurisdiction, and subject to the entry by the Parties into the Commercialization Agreement, AVEO shall (provided in each case that Biodesix has not received payment from or on behalf of the patient) reimburse Biodesix for
each VeriStrat test performed in such jurisdiction for purposes of screening a patient for potential commercial use of Ficlatuzumab as follows: 

(a) AVEO shall provide reimbursement in the amount of: (i) [***] of the VeriStrat Cost of Goods if Biodesix has not submitted an
application to the primary reimbursement authority in such jurisdiction, provided that, in no case shall such reimbursement obligation exceed [***] per test; or (ii) [***] per test if Biodesix has submitted such an application but has not
obtained any such reimbursement approval, in either case such obligation to reimburse Biodesix not to exceed a period of [***] years from First Commercial Sale in such jurisdiction, provided that the Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts
to modify such reimbursement structure, in all cases in a manner that is fully consistent with all applicable laws and regulations, on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis as and to the extent needed to comply with the regulatory requirements of
such jurisdiction while continuing to compensate Biodesix for its commercial performance of VeriStrat consistent with the amount set forth herein. Biodesix shall invoice AVEO the foregoing amounts on a calendar quarter basis for the VeriStrat tests
performed during each such calendar quarter then ended. AVEO shall remit payment for each such invoice within [***] days of receipt. 

(b) The mechanism for tracking the number of VeriStrat tests performed in any jurisdiction for purposes of screening patients for potential
commercial use of Ficlatuzumab and payment by AVEO to Biodesix therefor, as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, shall be included in the Commercialization Agreement, where such mechanism may include: (i) information from VeriStrat order forms
specifying the intention to test for the purpose of assessing Ficlatuzumab treatment candidacy, (ii) third party sources tracking Ficlatuzumab prescriptions such as IMS Health, and (iii) appropriate assumptions regarding the ratio of
VeriStrat testing and Ficlatuzumab prescriptions, provided that any such mechanism shall in each case be determined so as to fully comply with applicable laws and regulations and the regulatory requirements of such jurisdiction while continuing to
compensate for the commercial performance of VeriStrat consistent with the amount set forth herein. 

  
 24 














 EXECUTION VERSION 

 

 (c) The Commercialization Agreement shall also include a periodic right for each Party to
audit the other to ensure the accuracy of such tracking mechanism. If the Parties disagree regarding such number for any jurisdiction, then the Parties shall engage a qualified independent third party to determine the number of VeriStrat tests
performed in such jurisdiction for purposes of screening patients for potential use of Ficlatuzumab during the time period that is the subject of the disagreement.

non-publishing Party shall have the right to reasonably require removal of its Confidential Information from such publications or presentations. In addition, the publishing Party shall delay any publication
for a period of up to [***] days at the request of the other Party where such delay is reasonably necessary in relation to a patent filing by the other Party. Such designated 

  
 31 














 EXECUTION VERSION 

 

 
Person shall respond promptly and in no event later than [***] days after receipt of the proposed material. With respect to any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or summaries for publication or
presentation by investigators or other Third Parties, such materials shall be subject to review under the principles of this Section 10.3 to the extent reasonably practicable. Nothing in this Article X shall be construed to limit the right
of Biodesix’s or AVEO’s clinical investigators to publish the results of their own studies, provided that the Parties shall endeavor to obtain customary review rights in their agreements with clinical investigators and/or their
institutions. In the event a Party exercises its Opt-Out right, (i) the obligations in this Section 10.3 shall continue to apply to any publication or presentation by AVEO with respect to Biodesix
Intellectual Property or VeriStrat, (ii) either Party shall provide at least [***] days prior written notice of any publication or presentation by such Party of any Clinical Data, Diagnostic Data or Biomarker Data generated prior to the

10.4. Required Disclosure. To the extent the receiving Party is required to disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing Party
in order to comply with applicable Laws or legal process or to comply with governmental regulations or the regulations or requirements of any stock exchange, such disclosure shall not constitute a breach of this Article X, provided
that the receiving Party promptly provides prior notice of such disclosure to the other Party and uses reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize the degree of such disclosure.

 12.3. General Indemnification Procedures. 

(a) A Person seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article XII (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt notice to
the Party from whom such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim (which in no event includes any claim by any Biodesix Party or any AVEO Party) in respect of
which indemnity may be sought hereunder, shall give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect to any indemnified matter as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, and shall not make any admission concerning any Third Party Claim,
unless such admission is required by applicable Law or legal process, including in response to questions presented in depositions or interrogatories. Any admission made by the Indemnified Party or the failure to give such notice shall relieve the
Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder only to the extent that the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such Third Party Claim is prejudiced thereby (and no admission required by applicable Law or legal process shall be deemed to
result in prejudice). The Indemnifying Party shall assume and conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Subject to the initial and continuing
satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Article XII, the Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such Third Party Claim, including settlement negotiations and any legal proceedings. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the
defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 12.3, the Indemnified Party may defend the Third Party Claim. If both Parties are Indemnifying Parties with respect to the same Third Party Claim, the Parties shall determine by
mutual agreement, within twenty (20) days following their receipt of notice of commencement or assertion of such Third Party Claim (or such lesser period of time as may be required to respond properly to such claim), which Party shall assume
the lead role in the defense thereof Should the Indemnifying Parties be unable to mutually agree on which of them shall assume the lead role in the defense of such Third Party Claim, both Indemnifying Parties shall be entitled to participate in such
defense through counsel of their respective choosing. 
 (b) Any Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party not managing the defense of a Third
Party Claim shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense (subject to the immediately succeeding sentence), the defense. The Indemnifying Party managing the defense shall not be liable for any litigation cost or
expense incurred, without its consent, by the Indemnified Party (or an Indemnifying Party not managing the defense) where the action or proceeding is under the control of such Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if the
Indemnifying Party managing the defense fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party managing the defense will be liable for all reasonable
costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. 
 (c) The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry
of any judgment against an Indemnified Party arising from any such Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief from the Indemnified Party. The
Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement that commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action.

 (d) The Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and
shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. 

12.4. Insurance. Each Party agrees that it shall secure and maintain in full force and effect throughout the Term (and following
termination, to cover any claims or liabilities arising from this Agreement) commercial general liability insurance (“Commercial Insurance”) and product liability insurance (“Product Liability Insurance”) to cover
any claims or liabilities arising from this Agreement. Each Party shall also secure and maintain workers’ compensation insurance in accordance with applicable law. Any limits on a Party’s insurance coverage shall not be construed to create
a limit on its liability with respect to any of its obligations hereunder or the products developed, provided or commercialized hereunder. Each such commercial general liability insurance policy and product liability policy shall provide at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party of the cancellation, non-renewal or substantial modification thereof. Each Party shall supply certificates of insurance to the other Party upon
request. Each Party shall be named as additional insureds on such other Party’s commercial general liability insurance policy. By no later than the second anniversary of the Effective Date, each Party agrees that it shall secure and maintain in
full force and effect the Commercial Insurance and Product Liability Insurance, each in the amount of at least [***] per occurrence.

13.2. Termination for Cause. In the event of a material breach of this Agreement by a Party, the other Party may give the Party in
default notice requiring it to cure such default. If such material breach is not cured within [***] days after receipt of such notice (or within [***] days in the case of a payment breach), the notifying Party shall be entitled (without
prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement or under applicable Law) to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the defaulting Party, with such termination to take effect immediately. The right of either Party
to terminate this Agreement as set forth in this Section 13.2 shall not be affected in any way by its waiver of, or failure to take action with respect to, any previous default. 

13.3. Termination for Insolvency. This Agreement may be terminated by a Party upon written notice to the other Party if: (a) the
other Party shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, file a petition in bankruptcy, petition or apply to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for it or a substantial part of its assets, or shall
commence any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation Law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; (b) if there shall have been filed against the other Party
any such bona fide petition or application, or any such proceeding shall have been commenced against it, in which an order for relief is entered or that remains undismissed or unstayed for a period of [***] days or more; or (c) if the
other Party by any

act or omission shall indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such petition, application or proceeding or order for relief or the appointment of a custodian, receiver or
trustee for it or any substantial part of its assets, or shall suffer any such custodianship, receivership or trusteeship to continue undischarged or unstayed for a period of [***] days or more. Termination shall be effective upon the date
specified in such notice. 
 13.4. Effect of Termination and Expiration; Accrued Rights and Obligations. 

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by AVEO under Section 13.2 or Section 13.3: (a) if such termination is
effective prior to the earliest time at which Biodesix is entitled to Opt-Out pursuant to Section 3.5(c), then following such termination Biodesix shall not be entitled to receive any royalties, share of
License Income, share of profits and losses or any other payments of any kind relating to Ficlatuzumab under this Agreement, the Commercialization Agreement or otherwise; and (b) if such termination is effective after the earliest time at which
Biodesix is entitled to Opt-Out pursuant to Section 3.5(c), then Biodesix shall be deemed to have validly exercised its Opt-Out right as authorized under
Section 3.5(c) effective as of the termination date for all purposes hereunder. 
 (b) In the event of termination of this Agreement by
Biodesix under Section 13.2 or Section 13.3, which breach (or the event underlying such breach) does not prevent or irreparably disrupt the completion of the NSCLC POC Trial, then AVEO shall be deemed to have validly exercised its Opt-Out right as authorized under Section 3.5(c) effective as of the termination date for all purposes hereunder. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Biodesix under Section 13.2 or
Section 13.3, which breach (or the event underlying such breach) prevents or irreparably disrupts the completion of the NSCLC POC Trial, then AVEO shall be deemed to have validly exercised its Opt-Out
right as authorized under Section 3.5(c) effective as of the termination date for all purposes hereunder, except that AVEO shall be entitled to an Opt-Out Royalty of 50% of the otherwise applicable Opt-Out Royalty. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Biodesix under Section 13.2 or 13.3, Biodesix shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to the VeriStrat Development Plan.
Biodesix’s obligations relating to the VeriStrat Development Plan hereunder shall survive in the event of any termination of this Agreement other than a termination by Biodesix pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.3. 

(c) Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability that, at the time of such termination, has
already accrued or that is attributable to a period prior to such termination (including payment obligations accrued prior to the effective date of termination) nor preclude either Party from pursuing any right or remedy it may have hereunder or at
Law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that the non-breaching Party
may be entitled to seek injunctive relief as a remedy for any such breach. 
 13.5. Survival. The rights and obligations set forth in
this Agreement shall extend beyond the Term or termination of this Agreement only to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement or to the extent required to give effect to a termination of this Agreement or the consequences of a termination
of this Agreement as expressly provided for in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the provisions of Sections 5.5, 8.1, 8.2, 9.1, 9.2, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 11.4, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4,
14.2, 14.3, 15.1, 15.2, 15.3, 15.4, 15.5, 15.6, 15.11, 15.12, 15.13, 15.14, 15.15, and 15.16 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

 15.4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including Exhibits) contains the complete understanding of the Parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and writings relating to such subject matter, including the MTA which is hereby merged and subsumed into, and superseded by this Agreement. No amendment change or addition to this

original business purpose. 
 15.7. Registration and Filing of the Agreement. To the extent a Party determines in good faith that it
is required by applicable Law to publicly file, register or notify this Agreement with a Regulatory Authority, including public filings pursuant to securities Laws, it shall provide the proposed redacted form of the Agreement to the other Party a
reasonable amount of time prior to filing for the other Party to review such draft and propose changes to such proposed redactions. The Party making such filing, registration or notification shall incorporate any proposed changes timely requested by
the other Party, absent a substantial reason to the contrary, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for any terms that the other Party timely requests be kept confidential, to the extent such confidential
treatment is reasonably available consistent with applicable Law. Each Party shall be responsible for its own legal and other external costs in connection with any such filing, registration or notification.

 EXECUTION VERSION 

 

 15.8. Assignment; Change of Control. Neither this Agreement nor any right or
obligation hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred by any Party without the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any Party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement:
(a) in whole or in part to any of its respective Affiliates; provided that such Party shall remain primarily liable in respect of all obligations so assigned and such Affiliate has acknowledged and confirmed in writing that effective as of such
assignment or other transfer, such Affiliate shall be bound by this Agreement as if it were a party to it as and to the identical extent applicable to the transferor; or (b) to any successor in interest by way of a Change of Control,
acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of its assets relating to the subject matter of this Agreement (where any such transaction shall constitute an attempted assignment of this Agreement) provided that (1) such Party shall remain
primarily liable in respect of all obligations so assigned and such successor has acknowledged and confirmed in writing that effective as of such assignment or other transfer, such successor shall be bound by this Agreement as if it were a party to
it as and to the identical extent applicable to the transferor; (2) such successor agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were the assigning party and (3) such successor agrees in writing to be bound by the
terms of Section 15.8(b). Upon a Change of Control of either Party and upon an assignment of this Agreement in its entirety by either Party, the Party or the assignee, as the case may be, agrees to: (a) use Commercially Reasonable efforts
to satisfy the Development or Commercialization timeline (e.g., GANT chart) then approved by the JSC and in effect; and (b) use no less effort in the performance of the Party’s or the assigning Party’s, as applicable, obligations
hereunder than the Party or the assigning Party, as applicable, was itself using prior to such transaction. 
 In addition, any purported
assignment in violation of this Section 15.8 shall be void. Any permitted assignee shall assume all assigned obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Party to this Agreement is acquired or otherwise becomes directly or
indirectly “controlled” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 1.1) by one or more entities that were not Affiliates of such Party as of the Effective Date, the Know-How and Patent
Rights of such acquiring or otherwise controlling entity(-ies) shall not be subject to the rights and licenses granted to the other Party under this Agreement, except to the extent such acquiring or otherwise
controlling entity(-ies) participate in activities pursuant to this Agreement, in which case the Know-How and Patent Rights that such
entity(-ies) generate in the conduct of such activities shall be subject to the rights and licenses granted to the other Party under this Agreement. 

15.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission or.pdf delivered via email will constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as
to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. 
 15.10. Force Majeure. Except with respect to
payment obligations, neither Party shall be liable for failure of or delay in performing obligations set forth in this Agreement, and neither Party shall be deemed in breach of its obligations, if such failure or delay is due to a natural disaster,
explosion, fire, flood, tornadoes, thunderstorms, earthquake, war, terrorism, riots, embargo, losses or shortages of power, labor stoppage, substance or material shortages, damage to or loss of product in transit, events caused by reason of Laws of
any Regulatory Authority, events caused by acts or omissions of a Third Party, or any other cause reasonably beyond the control of such Party.

 EXECUTION VERSION 

 

 15.11. Public Disclosure. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, the
Parties shall jointly issue one or more press releases, the contents of which shall be substantially similar to Exhibit C, with such other contents and changes as may be mutually agreed. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, neither
Party shall issue any additional press release or make any other public disclosure concerning this Agreement or the subject matter hereof without first providing the other Party with a copy of the proposed release or public disclosure for review and
comment, provided that such right of review and comment shall only apply for the first time that specific information is to be disclosed, and shall not apply to the subsequent disclosure of substantially similar information that has previously been
disclosed. The Party proposing to make the press release or other public disclosure shall give due consideration to any reasonable comments by the other Party relating to such proposed press release or other public disclosure. The principles to be
observed by Biodesix and AVEO in press releases or other public disclosures with respect to this Agreement shall be: accuracy, compliance with applicable legal requirements, the requirements of confidentiality under Article X and normal
business practice in the pharmaceutical industry for disclosures by companies comparable to Biodesix and AVEO. For the avoidance of doubt, either Party may issue such press releases as it determines, based on advice of counsel, are reasonably
necessary to comply with applicable Law or for appropriate market disclosure. It is understood, however, that except as required by applicable Law, the Parties shall not disclose the specific financial terms and conditions of this Agreement in any
press release or other public disclosure. In addition, if a public disclosure is required by applicable Law, including in a filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the disclosing Party shall provide copies of the proposed
disclosure reasonably in advance of such filing or other disclosure for the non-disclosing Party’s prior review and comment and shall give due consideration to any reasonable comments by the non-filing Party relating to such filing, including the provisions of this Agreement for which confidential treatment should be sought. 

15.12. Third-Party Beneficiaries. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Third
Party other than an indemnitee under Article XII. No such Third Party shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reason of any such provision make any claim in respect of any debt, liability or obligation (or
otherwise) against either Party. 
 15.13. Relationship of the Parties. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the activities and
resources of each Party shall be managed by such Party, acting independently and in its individual capacity. Each Party shall bear its own costs incurred in the performance of its obligations hereunder without charge or expense to the other, except
as expressly provided in this Agreement. Neither Party shall have any responsibility for the hiring, termination or compensation of the other Party’s employees or for any employee compensation or benefits of the other Party’s employees,
other than with respect to Biodesix’s reimbursement obligations under Section 3.5. No employee or representative of a Party shall have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party for any sum or in any manner whatsoever, or to create
or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party without said other Party’s approval. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the legal relationship under this Agreement of
each Party to the other Party shall be that of independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to establish a relationship of partners or joint venturers between the Parties.

 15.14. Performance by Affiliates. To the extent that this Agreement imposes
obligations on Affiliates of a Party, such Party agrees to cause its Affiliates to perform such obligations. 
 15.15. Construction.
Each Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel during the course of negotiation of this Agreement, and, therefore, that this Agreement shall be interpreted without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction against the
Party causing this Agreement to be drafted. Any reference in this Agreement to an Article, Section, subsection, paragraph, clause or Exhibit shall be deemed to be a reference to any Article, Section, subsection, paragraph, clause or Exhibit, of or
to, as the case may be, this Agreement. Except where the context otherwise requires, (a) wherever used, the use of any gender will be applicable to all genders, (b) the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or),
(c) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document refers to such agreement, instrument other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such
amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein or therein), (d) any reference to any Laws refers to such Laws as from time to time enacted, repealed or amended, (e) the words “herein”, “hereof’ and
“hereunder”, and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (f) the words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be
followed by the phrase “but not limited to”, “without limitation” or words of similar import. 
 15.16. No
Consequential or Punitive Damages. EXCEPT FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, NEITHER PARTY HERETO WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 15.16 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS OR
WITH RESPECT TO THE INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
