market, distribute, sell, have sold, export, offer for sale and import the Licensed Product in the Territory in the Field. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Licensed Patents
are licensed to CyDex or its Affiliates by a third party on a non-exclusive basis, the license granted to Company in the foregoing sentence shall be exclusive as to CyDex and
non-exclusive as to any third party. Company shall not, and shall not have the right under the foregoing license to, make, use, sell, offer for sale, or import the Licensed Product for any other purposes.
Company may not sublicense the Licensed Patents, except as expressly set forth in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 below. 
 (b)

approve, such approval to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with Company pursuant to which such Sublicensee shall acknowledge and agree to observe and be bound by the applicable restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Other
than as specifically provided in and this Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, Company shall not have the right to grant sublicenses to any third party under the licenses granted pursuant to
Section 2.1. 
 2.4 Contracting. Company may manufacture the Licensed Product (but, except as set
forth in Section 3.7(d), not the bulk Captisol) or contract the manufacture of the Licensed Product (but, except as set forth in Section 3.7(d), not the manufacture of bulk Captisol) with reputable
FDA-inspected third party manufacturers upon notification to CyDex in writing of Company’s intent to do so (such notice to include the identity and location of the proposed third party manufacturers). To
the extent necessary to engage a third party manufacturer for the Licensed Product, Company shall be permitted under this Agreement to grant any such third party manufacturer a sublicense under the licenses granted to Company pursuant to
Section 2.1 solely for such purposes; provided that Company warrants and shall procure, as a condition precedent thereto, that (a) any such third party manufacturer shall first be advised of the restrictions set
forth in this Agreement with respect to the transfer of the rights licensed to Company and its Sublicensees hereunder and (b) any such third party manufacturer shall enter into an agreement (in substantially the form of Exhibit E

does not grant Company, its Affiliates or Sublicensees the right to manufacture (or have manufactured on their behalf) Captisol without CyDex’s prior written consent. CyDex agrees that CyDex
shall produce (or have produced for it) and sell to Company one hundred percent (100%) of Company’s and its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ requirements for Captisol for use in the formulation of Licensed Product, during the Term and
subject to the provisions of this Agreement and provided that, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall CyDex be obligated to supply to Company or its Affiliates or Sublicensees more than an aggregate
quantity of [***] ([***]) kilograms of Captisol per year (the “Volume Threshold”). Purchases of Captisol may include Research Grade Captisol, Clinical Grade Captisol and/or Commercial Grade Captisol. Company may place orders for
Captisol on behalf of its Affiliates and Sublicensees; provided, however that: (a) Company shall instruct CyDex as to the location for the shipment thereof; (b) Company shall guarantee payment to CyDex of all amounts payable with
respect thereto; and (c) if Company requests that CyDex deliver such orders to Company for re-delivery thereof by Company to its Affiliates or Sublicensees, Company shall comply with all applicable laws,
rules and regulations applicable to the transportation of Captisol from Company to its Affiliates and Sublicensees. 
  

	 	3.2	Supply Terms. 

 (a) Long-term Forecast. No later than [***] ([***]) months
prior to the anticipated Commercial Launch Date by Company or its Affiliates or Sublicensees of a Licensed Product in any particular country, Company shall provide CyDex with a forecast setting forth Company’s nonbinding estimate of the
required quantities of Commercial Grade Captisol for each of the following [***] ([***]) years. Such long-term nonbinding forecast shall thereafter be updated by Company at least once every [***] ([***]) months. 

(b) Binding Detailed Forecast. At least [***] ([***]) [***] prior to the first order of Commercial Grade Captisol, Company shall
deliver to CyDex a detailed rolling forecast setting forth Company’s requirements and anticipated delivery schedules for Commercial Grade Captisol for each calendar quarter during the succeeding twelve (12) month period (the
“Detailed Forecast”). For purposes of this Agreement, a calendar quarter means the consecutive three (3) month period ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, respectively. The parties
acknowledge and agree that the first calendar quarter covered in the Detailed Forecast may be for a period less than the full three (3) month period but that each subsequent calendar quarter shall be for a full three (3) month period. The
Detailed Forecast shall thereafter be updated by Company quarterly on a rolling basis, no later than the [***] of each calendar quarter, so that each calendar quarter CyDex shall have been provided with a rolling Detailed Forecast for each calendar
quarter during the twelve (12) month period commencing on the first day of the next calendar quarter following the date on which such Detailed Forecast is submitted. The Detailed Forecast shall be [***] Company, subject to the permissible
variances set forth in Section 3.2(c) below, with respect to the first, second, and third calendar quarters covered by such updated Detailed Forecast (“Ql”, “Q2”, “Q3”,
respectively, and where the fourth calendar quarter shall be “Q4”). If Company fails to provide any updated Detailed Forecast in accordance with this Section 3.2(b), [***].

OMITTED MATERIAL WAS FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO THE RULES APPLICABLE TO SUCH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST. 
  

 (c) Detailed Forecast Variances. Each updated Detailed Forecast may modify the
amount of Commercial Grade Captisol estimated in the previous Detailed Forecast in accordance with the following limitations (the “Purchase Volume Limitations”): 

(i) for the Q1 covered by such updated Detailed Forecast, no change may be made to the forecast provided for the Q2 in the immediately
preceding Detailed Forecast without the prior express written consent of CyDex; 
 (ii) for the Q2 covered by such updated Detailed
Forecast, no change in excess of a [***] percent ([***]%) volume increase or decrease may be made to the forecast provided for the Q3 in the immediately preceding Detailed Forecast without the prior express written consent of CyDex; and 

(iii) for the Q3 covered by such updated Detailed Forecast, no change in excess of a [***] percent ([***]%) volume increase or decrease
may be made to the forecast provided for the Q4 in the immediately preceding Detailed Forecast without the prior express written consent of CyDex. 

In each case CyDex’s consent may be conditioned on such payment or other terms as CyDex may require. 

(d) Purchase Orders. Together with each Detailed Forecast provided under Section 3.2(b), Company shall
place a firm purchase order with CyDex in a form mutually agreed upon by the parties, for Company’s order of Commercial Grade Captisol for Q1 delivery consistent with the Detailed Forecast. Each purchase order, for all grades of Captisol, shall
specify: (i) the grade of Captisol ordered (i.e., Commercial Grade Captisol, Clinical Grade Captisol or Research Grade Captisol); (ii) quantities; (iii) delivery dates; and (iv) reasonable shipping instructions. CyDex shall
deliver orders of Captisol to Company on or within five (5) business days of Company’s requested delivery dates; provided, however, that the purchase order is received by CyDex at least ninety (90) days prior to the stipulated
delivery date. No purchase order shall be binding upon CyDex until accepted by CyDex in writing; provided that CyDex (x) shall accept in writing within ten (10) days after CyDex’s receipt of each purchase order for Clinical Grade
Captisol or Research Grade Captisol, (y) shall accept in writing within ten (10) days after CyDex’s receipt of each purchase order for Commercial Grade Captisol from Company with respect to the quantities of Captisol ordered that do
not exceed the Purchase Volume Limitations, and (z) shall notify Company of CyDex’s ability to fill any quantities of such purchase order for Commercial Grade Captisol that are in excess of the Purchase Volume Limitations (but under the
Volume Threshold) within thirty (30) days after CyDex’s receipt of such purchase order. CyDex shall not be obligated to accept such orders to the extent that the quantities of Commercial Grade Captisol ordered exceed the Purchase Volume
Limitations, but CyDex shall use good faith efforts to fill such orders for such excess quantities (provided that such quantities are less than the Volume Threshold) from available supplies. If CyDex, despite the use of good faith efforts, is unable
to supply such quantities that exceed the Purchase Volume Limitations to Company, such inability to supply shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by CyDex or a failure by CyDex to supply for any purpose. If any purchase order or


  









 [***] INDICATES MATERIAL THAT WAS OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WAS REQUESTED. ALL SUCH
OMITTED MATERIAL WAS FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO THE RULES APPLICABLE TO SUCH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST. 
  

 
other document submitted by Company hereunder or any invoice or other document passing between the parties contains terms or conditions in addition to or inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control and prevail and such additional or inconsistent terms are hereby expressly rejected. 

3.3 Delivery. CyDex shall deliver to Company or Company’s designee each order of Captisol, packed for shipment in accordance
with CyDex’s customary practices and the Specifications, EXW (Incoterms 2000) CyDex’s production point or storage facilities. Title and risk of loss and/or damage to Captisol shall pass to Company upon delivery of Captisol to Company or
Company’s designee at CyDex’s production point or storage facilities. Company agrees, after Commercial Launch Date, to maintain an inventory of Captisol sufficient to supply at least [***] ([***]) days’ worth of Company’s
requirements. Quantities actually delivered to Company or Company’s designee pursuant to an accepted purchase order may vary from the quantities reflected in such purchase order by up to [***] percent ([***]%) and still be deemed to be in
compliance with such purchase order; provided, however, that Company shall only be invoiced and required to pay for the quantities of Captisol that CyDex actually delivers to Company or Company’s designee. CyDex will use commercially
reasonable efforts to include, in the next shipment of Captisol to Company, any quantities ordered pursuant to an accepted purchase order but not delivered. 

3.4 Modified Specifications. CyDex may change the Specifications during the Term with written notification to Company. In such
event, CyDex shall give Company at least [***] ([***]) days to respond to such notice of change. Company and CyDex shall cooperate regarding initiating any changes to the Specifications and to have such change approved by all regulatory agencies
having jurisdiction. In addition, if any regulatory agency having jurisdiction requires CyDex to implement any changes to the Specifications, CyDex shall use all reasonable efforts to make such changes. If a regulatory agency requires a change to
the Specifications where such change is specific to Captisol as implemented in the Licensed Product, then [***] shall be responsible for the costs incurred to generate such unique, modified Specifications, provided that the parties will mutually
agree on such costs prior to CyDex’s commencement of implementation of such change. In the event of a change initiated by CyDex, if requested by Company, CyDex shall provide to Company the right to purchase an amount of Captisol not greater
than a [***] ([***]) [***] supply prior to such change in Specifications in order to allow the Company to maintain supply of Licensed Product until the new Specifications are validated with Licensed Product. 

 

	 	3.5	Quality Control; Acceptance and Rejection. 

 (a) Quality Control.
CyDex shall conduct or have conducted quality control testing of Captisol prior to shipment in accordance with the Specifications and other CyDex-approved quality control testing procedures (the “Testing Methods”). CyDex shall
retain or have retained accurate and complete records pertaining to such testing. Each shipment of Captisol hereunder shall be accompanied by a certificate of analysis for each lot of Captisol therein.

OMITTED MATERIAL WAS FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO THE RULES APPLICABLE TO SUCH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST. 
  

 (b) Acceptance Testing. Company shall have a period of [***] ([***]) days from
the date of receipt to test or cause to be tested Captisol supplied under this Agreement. Company or its designee shall have the right to reject any shipment of Captisol that does not conform with the Specifications at the time of delivery pursuant
to Section 3.3 hereof when tested in accordance with the Testing Methods or that otherwise does not meet the Manufacturing Standards. All shipments of Captisol shall be deemed accepted by Company unless CyDex receives
written notice of rejection from Company within such [***] ([***]) day period describing the reasons for the rejection in reasonable detail. Once a delivery of Captisol is accepted or deemed accepted hereunder, Company shall have no recourse against
CyDex in the event Captisol is subsequently deemed unsuitable for use for any reason, except as provided in Section 10 below. 

(c) Confirmation. After its receipt of a notice of rejection from Company pursuant to Section 3.5(b)
above, CyDex shall notify Company as soon as reasonably practical but no later than [***] ([***]) days whether it accepts Company’s basis for rejection and Company shall cooperate with CyDex in determining whether such rejection was necessary
or justified. If the parties are unable to agree as to whether a shipment of Captisol supplied by CyDex or its Third-Party Manufacturer hereunder meets the Specifications, such question shall be submitted to an independent quality control laboratory
mutually agreed upon by the parties. The findings of such independent laboratory shall be binding upon the parties. The cost of the independent quality control laboratory shall be borne by the party whose results are shown by such laboratory to have
been incorrect. 
 (d) Return or Destruction of Rejected Shipments. Company may not return or destroy any batch of Captisol
until it receives written notification from CyDex that CyDex does not dispute that the batch fails to meet the Specifications. CyDex will indicate in its notice either that Company is authorized to destroy the rejected batch of Captisol or that
CyDex requires return of the rejected Captisol. Upon written authorization from CyDex to do so, Company shall promptly destroy the rejected batch of Captisol and provide CyDex with written certification of such destruction. Upon receipt of

 (f) Exceptions. Company’s rights of rejection, return, refund and
replacement set forth in this Section 3.5 shall not apply to any Captisol that is non-conforming due to damage (i) caused by Company, its Affiliates or Sublicensees or their
respective employees or agents, including but not limited to, misuse, neglect, improper storage, transportation or use beyond any dating provided or (ii) that occurs subsequent to delivery of such Captisol to the carrier at the point of origin,
including but not limited to any damage caused thereafter by accident, fire or other hazard and CyDex shall have no liability or responsibility to Company with respect thereto. 

3.6 Facilities and Inspections. Without limiting CyDex’s responsibility under this Agreement, CyDex shall have the right at
any time to satisfy its supply obligations to Company hereunder either in whole or in part through arrangements with third parties engaged to perform services or supply facilities or goods in connection with the manufacture or testing of Captisol
(each, a “Third-Party Manufacturer”). CyDex shall give Company at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of any such arrangement. The parties hereby agree that [***] is a Third-Party Manufacturer as of the Effective Date of
this Agreement. CyDex shall permit no more than two (2) of Company’s authorized representatives, during normal working hours and upon reasonable prior notice to CyDex but in no event less than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, to

applicable law). In addition, CyDex shall permit any such inspection of a new facility (one time per new facility) upon not less than sixty (60) days’ prior notice and such initial inspection shall not count as a yearly inspection under
the preceding sentence. If any such inspection is of a facility of a Third Party Manufacturer, Company shall pay, on a pass through basis, the amount charged to CyDex by its Third Party Manufacturer specifically by reason of Company’s
participation in such inspection. Company’s authorized representatives shall be accompanied by CyDex personnel at all times, shall be qualified to conduct such manufacturing audits, shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations
relating to facility security, health and safety, and shall execute a written confidentiality agreement with terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in Section 8 hereof. In no event shall any such manufacturing
audit exceed two (2) days in duration. Company shall ensure that its authorized representatives conduct each manufacturing audit in such a manner as to not interfere with the normal and ordinary operations of CyDex or its Third-Party
Manufacturer. CyDex shall inform Company of any regulatory inspection that may impact Captisol or the Licensed Product and shall provide Company with a summary of the outcome of such inspection and a copy of any Form 483 or other letter of
deficiency received from a regulatory agency inspection, subject to confidentiality obligations of CyDex to Third Parties related to matters other than Captisol alone. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.6, neither Company nor its
Affiliates, Sublicensees or their respective employees or representatives shall have access to CyDex’s facilities or the facilities of any Third-Party Manufacturer.

	8.	CONFIDENTIALITY. 

 8.1 Definition. Company and CyDex each
recognizes that during the Term, it may be necessary for a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to provide Confidential Information (as defined herein) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) that is highly valuable,
the disclosure of which would be highly prejudicial to such party. The disclosure and use of Confidential Information will be governed by the provisions of this Section 8. Neither Company nor CyDex shall use the
other’s Confidential Information except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party and
designated in writing by the Disclosing Party as “Confidential” (or equivalent), and all material disclosed orally which is declared to be confidential by the Disclosing Party and confirmed in writing delivered to the Receiving Party
within thirty (30) days of such disclosure, including but not limited to product specifications, data, know-how, formulations, product concepts, sample materials, business and technical information,
financial data, batch records, trade secrets, processes, techniques, algorithms, programs, designs, drawings, and any other information related to a party’s present or future

Agreement related to Licensed Product; Net Sales; the status of development activities; Studies; and regulatory filings, in each case whether or not marked or identified as confidential. 

8.2 Obligation. CyDex and Company agree that they will disclose the other’s Confidential Information to its own officers,
employees, consultants and agents only if and to the extent necessary to carry out their respective responsibilities under this Agreement or in accordance with the exercise of their rights under this Agreement, and such disclosure shall be limited
to the maximum extent possible consistent with such responsibilities and rights. Neither party shall disclose Confidential Information of the other to any third party without the other’s prior written consent, and any such disclosure to a third
party shall be pursuant to the terms of a non-disclosure agreement no less restrictive than this Section 8 provided Company shall not require such consent for disclosure of Confidential Information of
CyDex to Company’s Affiliates and Sublicensees. Each party shall take such action to preserve the confidentiality of each other’s Confidential Information as it would customarily take to preserve the confidentiality of its own Confidential
Information (but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care). Each party will return all the Confidential Information disclosed to the other party pursuant to this Agreement, including all copies and extracts of documents, within sixty
(60) days of the request, promptly following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, except as required by law to be retained and provided that neither party shall be required to return or destroy Confidential Information included in
regulatory filings or submissions or maintained on automatically created system back-up media. 

8.3 Exceptions. The use and non-disclosure obligations set forth in this
Section 8 shall not apply to any Confidential Information, or portion thereof, that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: 

(i) at the time of disclosure is in the public domain; 

(ii) after disclosure, becomes part of the public domain, by publication or otherwise, through no fault of the Receiving Party; 

(iii) at the time of disclosure is already in the Receiving Party’s possession, and such prior possession can be properly
demonstrated by the Receiving Party, with the exception of Confidential Information exchanged between parties prior to the execution of this Agreement; or 

(iv) is made available to the Receiving Party by an independent third party, provided, however, that to the Receiving Party’s
knowledge, such information was not obtained by said third party, directly or indirectly, from the Disclosing Party hereunder.

 In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose information that is required to be disclosed by
law, by a valid order of a court or by order or regulation of a governmental agency including but not limited to, regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or in the course of litigation,
provided that in all cases the Receiving Party shall give the other party prompt notice of the pending disclosure and makes a reasonable effort to obtain, or to assist the Disclosing Party in obtaining, a protective order preventing or
limiting the disclosure and/or requiring that the Confidential Information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the law or regulation required, or for which the order was issued. 

8.4 Injunction. Each party agrees that should it breach or threaten to breach any provisions of this
Section 8, the Disclosing Party will suffer irreparable damages and its remedy at law will be inadequate. Upon any breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of this Section 8, the
Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy which it may have, without need to post any bond or security. 

8.5 Third Party Information. Company acknowledges that CyDex’s Confidential Information includes information developed by
[***] (“[***]”) that is confidential to both CyDex and [***]. In so far as Confidential Information of [***] is disclosed, [***] is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 8 of this Agreement and may enforce it or seek

 14.9 Public Announcements. Except for such disclosure as is deemed necessary,
in the reasonable judgment of a party, to comply with applicable laws or regulations, securities filings or the rules of the NYSE or NASDAQ, no announcement, news release, public statement, publication, or presentation relating to the existence of
this Agreement, or the terms hereof, will be made without the other party’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the above, once the content and timing of a public announcement of the fact
that the parties have entered into this Agreement has been agreed to between the parties and such announcement has been made, either Party shall be free to disclose to third parties the fact that it has entered into the Agreement with the other
party (including a description of the field of use of the Licensed Product, but without disclosing the economic terms thereof), as well as any other information contained in said public announcement. In the event of a required public announcement
under the first sentence of this paragraph, the party making such announcement shall provide the other party with a copy of the proposed text prior to such announcement sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release of such announcement to afford
such other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text and the timing of such disclosure and the other party shall consider in good faith such comments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in
no event will CyDex have a right to make any disclosure or give any presentation of the results of clinical testing of Licensed Product without Company’s prior written consent. 

14.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York

 14.11
Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and all Exhibits attached hereto or thereto contain the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements, written or oral, between
CyDex and Company relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended unless agreed to in writing by both parties. 

14.12 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and the rights and obligations hereof shall apply to the CyDex and
Company and any successor(s) and permitted assigns. The name of a party appearing herein shall be deemed to include the names of such party’s successors and permitted assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

 14.13 Waiver. The rights of either party under this Agreement may be waived from time to time, singularly or in combination,
and the waiver of one or more such rights shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any one or more of the others. No waiver of any breach of a term, provision or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by either party unless such
waiver is addressed in writing and signed by an authorized representative of that party. The failure of either party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, or to waive any right
contained in this Agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such term, provision, condition or option or the waiver or relinquishment of any other term, provision, condition or option.

 14.14 Severability. If a final judicial determination is made that any
provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, this Agreement shall be rendered void only to the extent that such judicial determination finds such provisions unenforceable, and such unenforceable provisions shall be automatically reconstituted and
become a part of this Agreement, effective as of the date first written above, to the maximum extent they are lawfully enforceable. 

14.15 Assignment. Neither party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by
operation of law or otherwise, to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign its rights and delegate its obligations
under this Agreement to an Affiliate or to a third party successor, whether by way of merger, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, sale of stock or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent. As a condition to any
permitted assignment hereunder, the assignor must guarantee the performance of any assignee to the terms and obligations of this Agreement. Any assignment not in accordance with this Section 14.15 shall be void.
