in writing during the two (2) year period following the Effective Date that the Holding Party deliver the Materials to the Requesting Party, the Holding Party shall review such request and, to the extent in the possession or control of the
Holding Party or any of its Affiliates, deliver the Materials to the Requesting Party as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days of receiving such request from the Requesting Party; provided

reasonable amount of additional time to review and provide such Materials and shall notify the Requesting Party in writing of the expected timeframe; provided, further, the Holding Party may redact any Information with respect to which
the Requesting Party does not have a license or other right under the Separation Agreement, this Agreement, or any of the other Ancillary Agreements. To the extent the request does not concern Materials, the Holding Party shall not be required to
deliver such requested materials to the Requesting Party, but shall provide the Requesting Party with an explanation in reasonable detail the basis of such determination and shall make itself and its relevant Affiliates available to discuss such
determination in good faith with the Requesting Party. 
 (b) For clarity, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall
Licensor or its Affiliates be required to provide any written, electronic, computerized, digital or other tangible or intangible media to the extent comprising, containing or reflecting any Licensed IP that has already been provided to, or is in the
possession of, Licensee or its Affiliates.

enters into settlement discussions with respect thereto, Licensee shall provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith at Licensor’s reasonable request, and Licensee shall be reimbursed for its reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. 

(c) Recoveries. Any and all amounts recovered by Licensor in any Action regarding a Third Party Infringement or settlement with
respect thereto shall, unless otherwise agreed (including in an agreement in connection with obtaining consent to settlement), be retained by Licensor. 

(d) Interferences, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article IV or this Article V, in the event that any
Third Party allegations of invalidity or unenforceability of any Patents included in the Licensed IP licensed to Licensee hereunder arise in an opposition, interference, reissue proceeding, reexamination or other patent office proceeding, Article
IV shall govern the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect thereto.

Section 10.4 Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived, if and only if, such waiver is in writing and signed by the
Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver hereof; nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Any consent required or permitted to be given by any
Party to any other Party under this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by the Party giving such consent and shall be effective only against such Party (and its Affiliates). 

Section 10.5 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the
Parties. 
 Section 10.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of a Party under
this Agreement shall be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent may be granted or withheld in such other Party’s sole
discretion); provided, however, that such first Party (i) may assign, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates and (ii) may assign, in whole or in part, by
operation of law or otherwise, any of the foregoing to the successor to all or a portion of the business or assets to which this Agreement relates; provided that, (x) the assigning Party shall promptly notify the non-assigning Party in writing of any assignments it makes under Section 10.6(ii) and (y) in either case of (i) or (ii), the party to whom this Agreement is assigned shall agree in writing to
be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if named as a “Party” hereto with respect to all or such portion of this Agreement so assigned. Any assignment or other disposition in violation of this Section 10.6
shall be void. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement that accrued prior to such assignment unless 

  
 12 













 
agreed to by the non-assigning Party. If either Party (or any Affiliate of such Party) assigns any of the Licensed IP, such assignment shall be subject to
the license granted under such Intellectual Property pursuant to this Agreement and the assignee shall be deemed to assume the applicable obligations under this Agreement automatically. 

Section 10.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the obligations and rights hereunder shall be binding
upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) the Parties and their respective successors and permitted transferees and assigns. 

Section 10.8 Affiliates. Each of the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions,
agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Affiliate of such Party or by any entity that becomes an Affiliate of such Party on and after the Spinco Distribution Date. 

Section 10.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VI relating to Indemnitees, this Agreement is solely
for the benefit of, and is only enforceable by, the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns and should not be deemed to confer upon Third Parties any remedy, benefit, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of Action or other right of any
nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement. 

Section 10.10 Title and Headings. Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and
are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.11 Exhibits and
Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. 

Section 10.12 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. 

Section 10.13 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that the
Parties do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise breach this Agreement and the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate
compensation for any Indemnifiable Loss. Accordingly, from and after the Spinco Distribution, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that
the Party to this Agreement who is thereby aggrieved shall, subject and pursuant to the terms of this Article X (including for the avoidance of doubt, after compliance with all notice and negotiation provisions herein), have the right to
specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its or their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties
agree that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived. 

Section 10.14 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations
to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid, legal and enforceable provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

Section 10.15 No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party a
duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances. 

  
 13 













 Section 10.16 Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to
this Agreement by a Licensor are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code regardless of the form or type of intellectual property under or to which such rights and licenses are granted and regardless of whether the intellectual property is registered in or otherwise recognized by or applicable to
the United States of America or any other country or jurisdiction. The Parties agree that each Licensee will retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in
the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Party hereto that is not a party to such proceeding will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as
appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in the non-subject Party’s possession, will be promptly delivered to it (a) upon
any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon the non-subject Party’s written request therefore, unless the Party subject to such proceeding continues to perform all of its obligations under this
Agreement or (b) if not delivered under clause (a) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Party subject to such proceeding upon written request therefore by the
non-subject Party.
