 PREAMBLE 

 

	1.	AFM is an association recognized as an association of public interest. One of the objectives of AFM is to promote medical research, both general and applied to
rare diseases, notably neuromuscular, towards the development of treatments for these diseases and prevention of the disabilities to which they give rise. In this perspective, AFM funds research projects which contribute to the pursuit of its goals.


  

	2.	Prosensa is a for-profit company which has expertise in anti-sense technology and RNA modulating therapeutics which enables exon skipping and has exclusive
access to certain patents, patent applications and know-how in relation thereto. 

  

	3.	Prosensa is accelerating pre-clinical and clinical development of three compounds targeting respectively Exon 44, Exon 45 and Exon 53, with the objective to
initiate and conclude phase I/II studies for those compounds. 

 In this context, a programme entitled
“Accelerated development of three clinical candidates into Phase I/II Studies for the treatment of selected patient populations in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy” was presented to AFM in November 2009 by Prosensa and a non-binding term
sheet has been discussed by the Parties. 
  

	4.	GSK has an exclusive option to exclusively license two out of the three products under the Programme (as defined below) pursuant to the October 6, 2009
Research, Development, Collaboration and License Agreement between GSK and Prosensa (the “GSK/Prosensa Agreement”), and will have rights to the products if and when it executes these option rights when these products reach a clinical proof
of concept as defined in the GSK/Prosensa Agreement. 

  

	5.	Following receipt of a favourable opinion from AFM’s Strategic and Therapeutic Development Committee (hereafter “COSET”) during the meeting
of June 18, 2010 and AFM’s Board of Directors on December 17, 2009, July 15, 2010 and October 21, 2010, AFM, considering this programme to be of strategic interest for the pursuit of its goals, wishes to fund in part
its performance according to the terms of this contract. 

  

	6.	AFM and Prosensa each acknowledge their respective, individual and mutual interest in the development of the programme described above towards implementation of
therapeutic prospects for rare and/or neuromuscular diseases, in order to allow access for patients of all countries to the treatments which emerge from the results of the programme.

 11.4 Financial Audit related to AFM’s Financial Contribution 

Prosensa hereby agrees that AFM or, at its election, AFM’s representatives who shall have executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement, shall be
entitled to carry out, at the expense of AFM, a Financial Audit of Prosensa in order to examine, inspect, audit, review, copy, or make extracts of books, computers, databases, files and any other source of information on the use of the Financial
Contribution of AFM and the Net Revenues reached by Prosensa either on the gross sales of the Products or on its licensing revenues. 
 If
deemed necessary by AFM, the Financial Audit will take place in the office of Prosensa and its Affiliates, during office hours, no more than once per year and no later than two (2) years after each payment of AFM’s Financial Contribution
to Prosensa. Prosensa shall be notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, at least one (1) month before the projected date of the Financial Audit, of the identity of the auditors and of the date of the Financial Audit. The
auditors shall be bound by professional secrecy. 
 This Financial Audit shall be organised so as not to interfere with the realization of the
Programme. Prosensa and the Scientific Leader shall cooperate with the auditors and help them perform their mission. Prosensa shall make available the documents and records that are necessary and useful in order to justify the use of the Financial
Contributions of AFM. 
 The auditors shall draft a Financial Audit report within one (1) month after the end of their on-site inspection
at Prosensa. Such report shall be sent by AFM to Prosensa within one (1) week. Prosensa shall have the right, within one (1) month after receipt of the Financial Audit report, to justify the use of the Financial Contribution of AFM.
Failure by Prosensa to notify AFM of any such justification within the above-stated period shall be deemed an acceptance by Prosensa of the report. 

  
 14/24









 If the Financial Audit identifies a major breach by Prosensa of its obligations under the Programme and
Contract in the use of the Financial Contribution by Prosensa, Prosensa shall bear the reasonable and properly documented expenses of the Financial Audit. These payments shall be made within a period of time set by mutual agreement between the
Parties which shall not exceed one (1) month. Section 17.1 shall apply to any termination by AFM of this Contract on the basis of a major breach identified in the course of a Financial Audit. 

ARTICLE 12: CONFIDENTIALITY 
 12.1 In view of the confidential nature of all the Confidential Information related to the Programme, and in order to ensure its protection from inappropriate use or unauthorised disclosure to
third parties, each Party undertakes: 
  

	 	•	 	 To retain secrecy regarding any Confidential Information they may receive from other Party, including such Confidential Information of GSK;



  

	 	•	 	 Not to disclose Confidential Information to another Company, institution or any other third party, regardless of its financial or legal connections
with a Party, without prior written agreement from the Parties and from the Scientific Leader unless such Company, institution or other third party is bound by the same confidentiality provisions as the other Party; 



 

	 	•	 	 To quickly inform the other Parties in the event that proof or suspicion of unauthorised use or disclosure of Confidential Information should come to
its attention; 


  

	 	•	 	 Not to use Confidential Information for purposes other than those in the Programme or, for publications, to produce these with strict respect of
Article 13 of the Contract; 


  

	 	•	 	 Not to harm performance of the Programme in any way. 


 12.2 Each Party undertakes to obtain from its employees, persons working under its authority and third parties appointed by it, who may have reason to gain knowledge of Confidential Information,
full and entire adhesion to these confidentiality clauses. 
 12.3 It is specified that as defined by this Contract, the following
information is not subject to an obligation of confidentiality: 
  

	 	•	 	 Information whose disclosure has been decided by joint agreement between the Parties; 



 

	 	•	 	 Information whose non-confidential nature has been expressly stated by the Party which has communicated such information; 



 

	 	•	 	 Information which was already known to the other Party at the time of its disclosure and knowledge of which can be proved by the latter;



  

	 	•	 	 Information already in the public domain at the time of its communication, or which has entered therein, without such disclosure being attributable to
any of the Parties or their staff; 


  

	 	•	 	 Information which is acquired previously or subsequently by any of the Parties by operation of law from a third party not connected to the
communicating Party by obligations of confidentiality similar to those herein; 


  

	 	•	 	 Information which has been developed independently by any of the Parties, without representing a breach of this Contract; 




  
 15/24










	 	•	 	 Information whose disclosure is required by law, by court ruling, by arbitral sentence or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange. Any Party
subjected to such an obligation of disclosure must, where possible, notify the other Parties thereof in advance, and, where applicable, request implementation of all protective measures for the Confidential Information. 



In the situations set out above, the Party receiving the information shall prove that the said information is not subject to an obligation of
confidentiality. This proof must be provided in writing. 
 Finally, should a part of the Confidential Information fall within one of the
exceptions stated above, the remaining Confidential Information shall continue to benefit from the protection given under this Contract. 

12.4 Confidential Information transmitted orally must be presented as being of confidential nature. Confidential Information communicated via
another medium must be indicated to be confidential in a manner appropriate to its medium. 
 12.5 Upon expiration or termination of this
Contract, each Party undertakes to return transmitted Confidential Information to the Party which owns it, or, at the request of the latter, to destroy, within a deadline of two (2) weeks from the said date of expiration or termination, all
Confidential Information and materials, as well as all copies, extracts and reproductions thereof, which may remain in its possession at this date. In the event of a request for destruction of the abovementioned items, the Party responsible for
destroying the said items must send the other Party, as soon as possible, a certificate of destruction. 
 12.6 The confidentiality
obligations shall remain in force notwithstanding the end of this Contract, and for a period of ten (10) years from the expiration or termination of this document. 
 12.7 Notwithstanding any provisions of this Contract, the confidentiality obligations provided for in this Contract shall not prevent AFM from using and disclosing the information necessary in its
ordinary course of activities nor shall it prevent Prosensa from using and disclosing (i) the Results in the ordinary course of business in connection with Exploitation, financings or a public offering of securities of Prosensa, and
(ii) information with respect to the existence and provisions of this Contract, but only (a) on a need-to-know basis and under confidentiality provisions equivalent to those included in this Contract, to any third party to which Prosensa
grants or has granted a right of access to such information in connection with a research, development, licensing or financing agreement (including without limitation to LUMC and Glaxo Group Ltd.), and (b) as may be required in connection with
a public offering of securities of Prosensa. 
 ARTICLE 13: PUBLICATIONS 

13.1 Prosensa may freely publish the Results of the Programme. 
 13.2 Prosensa and the Scientific Leader undertake to include a statement of thanks to AFM in all relevant publications. 
 13.3 These obligations relating to publications shall remain in force throughout the entire duration of the Contract and beyond, for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the end of the
Programme. 
 ARTICLE 14: COMMUNICATIONS 
 Each Party undertakes not to use, in writing or orally, the name of another Party or its Affiliates, or of one of its agents, for any reason whatsoever, notably for promotional purposes (videos, posters,
advertising brochures, press packs, etc.) in any medium whatsoever, without having obtained prior written agreement from the Party concerned. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of the aforementioned paragraph and of Section 15.1 below, Prosensa acknowledges that AFM, in view of accomplishment
of its recognised role of working in the public interest, that is, by curing 

  
 16/24









 
neuromuscular diseases and reducing the disabilities to which they give rise, has an obligation to provide the General Public with information on the research programmes and work to which its
provides a Financial Contribution, in order to facilitate, directly or indirectly, an understanding of these diseases, the development of treatments, and the prevention of disabilities, and therefore AFM shall be entitled to refer to Prosensa in the
framework of communications relating to the Programme and to communicate general, non-confidential information about the Programme orally and/or in writing to the General Public during its campaign for collection of donations, notably during the
Téléthon and at the General Assembly of AFM, provided that in any event, AFM shall not disclose details which may be detrimental to Intellectual Property rights nor to the continued development of any of the research programmes.

 These obligations relating to communications and the use of the name shall remain in force throughout the entire duration of the Contract and
beyond for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the end of the Programme. 
 ARTICLE 15: INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY 
 15.1 Respect for the rights of the Parties 
 Each Party shall remain the sole owner of brands, names, abbreviations, logos, colours, graphics or other symbols which may be exchanged or used within the framework of execution of this Contract.

 Each Party undertakes to respect all Intellectual Property rights of the other Parties. Each Party also undertakes not to (i) create any
confusion among the public, and more particularly, among health professionals; (ii) damage the brand image and reputation of the other Parties, within the framework of execution of this Contract. 

15.2 Ownership of the Results 
 The
Parties hereby expressly agree that the Results of the Programme shall be the sole property of Prosensa. 
 AFM expressly acknowledges and
agrees to respect at all times the rights of Intellectual Property of Prosensa which result from the Programme. 
 Prosensa, as owner of the
Results, may freely use the Results for research purposes (including clinical research) and for further commercialization, including manufacturing, marketing, selling and distributing. 
 15.3 Exploitation of the Results by Prosensa 
  

	15.3.1	Prosensa is free to realize the Exploitation of the Results with the objective of achieving the Interests of the Parties and is fully and solely responsible for this
Exploitation, as provided herein. 

  

	15.3.2	Prosensa acknowledges and warrants to AFM the following: 

  

	A.	Should the whole or part of the Exploitation of the Results allow Prosensa to generate, in any manner, Net Revenues exceeding * * * * *, Prosensa
shall pay to AFM an amount of * * * * * of AFM’s Financial Contribution previously received, net of any value added taxes (the “Initial Payment”), as well as an additional payment of * * * * *, in accordance with the contract
signed by the Parties on 22 December 2005. 

 These two payments above shall be transferred by Prosensa to AFM
no later than March 31 of the year following the year in which Net Revenues exceeds the amount of * * * * *. The Parties acknowledge that the payment by Prosensa of the Initial Payment and the payment of * * * * *, shall be made by Prosensa to
AFM only once. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that the Net Revenues for these purposes are cumulative and not annual. 

  
 17/24









 Prosensa will provide to the AFM every year after it has closed its annual accounts a
declaration from its chartered accountant in charge of auditing its accounts, indicating the amount of the Net Revenues reached. 
  

	B.	In addition, Prosensa shall pay to AFM an amount of * * * * * of the total AFM’s Financial Contribution, net of any value added taxes, under this Contract (the
“Second Payment”) no later than two years following payment of the Initial Payment. The Parties acknowledge that the payment of the Second Payment by Prosensa to AFM shall be made only once. 


 

	C.	In the event that Prosensa has repaid to AFM all or any part of the Financial Contribution and/or interest related thereto under Article 17, then the amount repaid
under Article 17 will be credited first to the amount due under Section 15.3.2 A until reduced to zero and then, if the full amount paid under Section 17.4 has not been credited, the balance will be credited to the amount due under this
Section 15.3.2 B until the credit is used in full or the amount due under Section 15.3.2 is reduced to zero. 

  

	D.	For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 15.3.2 shall continue in effect after a termination by AFM for breach by Prosensa as described in Section 17.1
(Termination for breach of Contract), a termination by AFM under Section 17.3 (Termination by AFM) and a termination by Prosensa under Section 17.4 (Termination by Prosensa). 


15.4 License in case of non-Exploitation of Results 
 15.4.1 Prosensa acknowledges and warrants to AFM that it shall notify to AFM through the Annual Activities Report the Results as well as the perspectives of their Exploitation in accordance with the
Interest of the Parties. 
 The Parties acknowledge that AFM shall be free to request Prosensa, by registered letter with acknowledgement, to
justify, by registered letter with acknowledgement, within the six (6) months following the above AFM’s notification request, that it performs the Exploitation of the Results in accordance with the Interest of the Parties. 

15.4.2 In the event of Abandonment of the Programme by Prosensa, Prosensa shall grant to AFM a * * * * * license (* * * * *), for the exploitation and
commercialization of the Results by AFM and/ or a third party (the “License”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Programme shall not be considered to be Abandoned if an assignment, collaboration, license, option or comparable
agreement providing for the Exploitation of the Results with the objective of achieving the Interests of the Parties (or any material portion thereof) has been granted by Prosensa to a reputable third-party and continues to be in effect. 

Prosensa has entered into a research and license agreement with Leiden University Medical Centre (“LUMC”) under which Prosensa has
obtained rights to use Intellectual Property necessary for the exploitation of the Results by AFM as provided herein (such license agreement is referred to herein as the “LUMC License”). For the purposes of the implementation of the
present Article, Prosensa warrants to AFM that it shall obtain a written confirmation from LUMC that it is aware of the provisions of this Section 15.4.2 and that LUMC is willing to enter into negotiations with AFM to allow AFM to succeed to
Prosensa’s rights under the LUMC License following the Abandonment of the Programme. Prosensa warrants to AFM that it shall introduce AFM, promptly upon its request, to LUMC. Prosensa shall provide AFM with any assistance that AFM may
reasonably require in this connection, but Prosensa shall not be required to make any payments to LUMC or modify the terms of the License applicable to Prosensa. 
 It is also acknowledged that in the event of (1) Abandonment of the Programme by Prosensa for strategic or business reasons not justified by a scientific or medical reason (examples of scientific or
medical reasons are the failure of the Programme to meet its anticipated endpoints, adverse events, an unfavourable toxicity or stability profile and formulation or manufacturing difficulties), and (2) a refusal of LUMC to grant AFM a non
exclusive license to the rights granted Prosensa under the LUMC License that is royalty-free and milestone-free for non-commercial use and with a royalty and milestones to be negotiated by AFM with LUMC in the event of commercial use by AFM or a sub
licensee or assignee of AFM, Prosensa will repay to AFM one hundred percent (100%) of AFM’s Financial Contribution previously received with annual interest at the French legal interest rate applicable from time to time, accruing from the
date of payment of each instalment made by AFM under the Financial Contribution until the date such repayment is made.

 ARTICLE 16: DURATION 

This Contract shall enter into force as of the Starting Date and shall continue until (i) the completion of the Programme or (ii) termination in
accordance with its provisions of Article 17. 
 ARTICLE 17: TERMINATION 

17.1 Termination for breach of Contract 

In the event of a material breach by one of the Parties to meet one of its obligations, this Contract may be terminated by notice to the breaching Party
by the non-breaching Party. Such termination shall be effective one (1) month after receipt by the breaching Party of a notice of breach describing the breach in reasonable detail, sent by hand delivery or registered mail, return receipt
requested by the non-breaching Party unless within such period the breach is cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching Party. 

In the event the termination occurs because of Prosensa’s failure to use AFM’s financial contribution as provided herein, Prosensa will within
forty-five (45) days following the effective date of such termination pay to AFM the sum of (1) one hundred per cent (100%) of the total amount of AFM’ s financial contributions actually received and expended or committed for
expenditure plus a simple interest on such instalments of AFM’S financial contribution, from the date when received until the date repaid, at the rate of five per cent (5%) per annum. 

For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that AFM does not make a Financial Contribution in addition to the initial contribution of one million five hundred
thousand euro (€1 500 000) for the first year following the Starting Date (i.e. January 1st, 2010 as described in project plan), shall not constitute a breach by AFM of its obligations under this Contract. 

17.2 Termination by joint agreement of the Parties 
 This Contract may be terminated without any prejudice for the Parties by mutual agreement of the Parties, notably due to the absence of scientific interest in pursuing the Programme in view of the Annual
Activities Reports. 
 In the event of termination of the Contract under this Section 17.2, Prosensa shall repay to AFM any portion of
AFM’s Financial Contribution actually received that has not been expended or committed for expenditure. 
 17.3 Termination by AFM

 The Parties agree that the AFM may announce termination of this Contract, without any prejudice for Prosensa, with a one (1) month
prior notice in the following cases: 
  

	 	i.	where, in compliance with the provisions of Articles 8, 9 and 10 of this Contract, the required Annual Activities Reports are not approved by the Board of Directors of
the AFM; 

  

	 	ii.	where the amount of the funds collected by the AFM at the Telethons having taken place during the performance of the Programme is no longer sufficient to ensure
solvency and good financial management of the AFM and to enable the latter to renew its Financial Contribution to the Programme. 


In the event of termination by AFM under this Section 17.3, Prosensa shall repay to AFM any portion of AFM’s Financial Contribution actually
received that has not been expended or committed for expenditure. 

  
 19/24









 17.4 Termination by Prosensa 
 Prosensa shall be entitled to terminate the Contract, without any prejudice for AFM, with a one (1) month prior notice to AFM in case of a Change of Control of Prosensa. In such case, Prosensa will,
within forth-five (45) days following such termination, pay to AFM the sum of (1) ***** of the total amount of AFM’s Financial Contribution actually received, (2) simple interest on the instalments of AFM’s Financial
Contribution actually received, from the date when received until the date repaid, at the rate of *****. 
 17.5 Other termination procedures

 17.5.1 In all cases of termination referred to in this Contract, the Parties undertake in advance to meet and consult with respect to such
termination. 
 17.5.2 The partial or total repayment of AFM’s financial contribution (and the payment of any interest thereon), provided
for in connection with a termination under Section 17.1, Section 17.2, Section 17.3 or Section 17.4, shall not be made if, on the effective date of such termination, the conditions for the payment of the Initial Payment have been
satisfied, the intention of the Parties being that AFM shall not be entitled to both a partial or total repayment of AFM’s financial contribution under Article 17 and the payment of the Initial Payment (which constitutes a repayment of
AFM’s financial contribution). 
 ARTICLE 18: END OF THE
CONTRACT 
 18.1 Return of Sums 
 Upon expiration of the Contract Prosensa shall, within one (1) month, return to AFM any portion of AFM’s Financial Contribution not expended or committed for expenditure in connection with the
Programme, according to supporting documentation for expenses. Any amount so returned shall be deducted from and shall reduce the amount of AFM’s Financial Contribution for all purposes of this Contract, including the calculation of the Initial
Payment and the Second Payment. 
 18.2 Continuation of certain Articles 
 Upon expiration of the Contract and/or in the event of termination of the Contract for any reason whatsoever, the provisions set out in Article 12 (Confidentiality), Article 14 (Communication) and
Section 15.3.2 (Exploitation of the Results by Prosensa), Section 15.4.2 (License in case of non Exploitation of Results) and Section 17.4 (Termination by Prosensa) shall continue to apply. Section 15.3.2 shall however not apply
in case of Termination by Prosensa for a breach by AFM as described in Section 17.1 (Termination for breach of Contract) or Section 17.2 (Termination by joint agreement of the Parties). 

All other provisions shall be of no further force or effect, without limitation on the rights of the Parties to enforce any claims relating to the
performance of the Contract prior to expiration or termination. 
 ARTICLE 19: LIABILITIES 

19.1 Prosensa and the Scientific Leader shall be responsible exclusively and in full for execution of the Tasks allocated to them, for the
implementation of all operations, of any kind whatsoever - technical, organisational, human, material, legal - and for the safety regulations related to the research work allocated to them. Under no circumstances may a Party be held liable in the
event of non-execution of, or fault committed during, a Task allocated to another Party. 
 19.2 AFM shall not make available to the
Programme any premises, any equipment under its ownership, or any human resources, nor shall it make use of premises and/or equipment made available to the Programme by the other Parties. Consequently, AFM cannot be held liable for any damage caused
to the Parties and/or to third parties by any human or material resources made available to the Programme by any natural and/or legal persons other than AFM. 

  
 20/24
