Each party will  provide the other Party Notice with the name, title, email address, telephone number of their respective  Joint Steering Committee Members. The JSC shall meet as needed but not less than on a quarterly basis  (or such other frequency as determined by the JSC). The JSC shall be of advisory nature only and shall  ensure that Elanco is being kept informed on Tarsus development progress. Tarsus is responsible for  and takes final decisions on development and commercialization.    (b) The Joint Steering Committee meetings will be at times agreed by the Parties and will be  in such form (e.g. in person, telephone, or video conference) as the members of the Joint Steering  Committee agree.      





 






    9  (c) A party may change one or more of its representatives to the Steering Committee at any  time. Members of the Joint Steering committee may be represented at any meeting by another member  of the Steering committee or by a proxy.

Upon the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Effective  Date (the “Subsequent Grant Date”), if this Agreement has not been terminated prior to such date and  Tarsus has not provided notice of termination pursuant to Section 11.2(e), then Tarsus will grant to  Elanco, (i) in the event that Tarsus has not yet completed an Initial Public Offering, a number of shares  of Tarsus’ Common Stock equal to $3,000,000 divided by the price per share of Tarsus’ Preferred Stock  purchased for cash in its most recent bona fide equity financing prior to the Subsequent Grant Date or  (ii) in the event that Tarsus has completed an Initial Public Offering, a number of shares of Tarsus’  Common Stock equal to $3,000,000 divided by the price of one (1) share of Tarsus’ Common Stock  sold in such Initial Public Offering (the “Subsequent Equity Grant” and, collectively with the Initial  Equity Grant, the “Equity Grants”); provided, however, that if Tarsus is acquired in a Change of Control  





 






    10  following such Initial Public Offering but before the Subsequent Grant Date, and Tarsus has not  provided notice of termination pursuant to Section 11.2(e), then immediately prior to such Change of  Control Elanco shall receive a number of shares of Tarsus’ Common Stock equal to $3,000,000 divided  by the price of one (1) share of Tarsus’ Common Stock sold in such Initial Public Offering; and  provided, further, however, that if Tarsus is acquired in a Change of Control prior to the Subsequent  Grant Date and Tarsus has neither completed an Initial Public Offering nor provided notice of  termination pursuant to Section 11.2(e)  then immediately prior to such Change of Control Elanco shall  receive a number of shares of Tarsus’ Common Stock equal to $3,000,000 divided by the price per share  of Tarsus’ Preferred Stock purchased for cash in its most recent bona fide equity financing prior to  such  Change of Control.  Termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2(a) shall be Elanco’s sole  and exclusive remedy and Tarsus’s sole and exclusive liability for a breach of this Section 6.1(d).    (e) “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Elanco hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior  written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the public  filing of the registration statement relating to the Initial Public Offering (the “Stand-Off Effective  Date”) and ending on the date specified by Tarsus and the managing underwriter (such period not to  exceed [***] days from the date that such registration statement is declared effective by the SEC) (i)  lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or  contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of,  directly or indirectly, any shares of Tarsus’ capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable  or exchangeable for Tarsus’ capital stock (“Registrable Securities”) held immediately prior to the  Stand-Off Effective Date, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in  whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Tarsus’ capital stock, whether any  such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of securities, in cash or  otherwise. The underwriters in connection with Tarsus’ Initial Public Offering are intended third party  beneficiaries of this Section 6.1(e) and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the  provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Elanco further agrees to execute such agreements  as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering that are consistent  with this Section 6.1(e) or that are necessary to give further effect thereto, including, without limitation,  the lock-up agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Lock-up Agreement”). In order  to enforce the foregoing covenant, Tarsus may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the  Registrable Securities of Elanco (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the  foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. Elanco further agrees that a legend reading  substantially as follows shall be placed on all certificates representing all shares of Tarsus’ capital stock  (whether issued pursuant to the Equity Grants or otherwise) held by Elanco (and the shares or securities  of every other person subject to the restriction contained in this Section 6.1(e)):    THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO  A LOCK-UP PERIOD AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE ISSUER’S  REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE ACT, AS AMENDED, AS  SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN TARSUS AND THE ORIGINAL  HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED  AT THE ISSUER’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING  ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.       6.2 Milestones.     (a) First Indication Development Milestones.  Tarsus shall pay to Elanco the following  one-time milestone payments upon the first achievement of the applicable milestone event set forth  below by Tarsus or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees after the Effective Date:    (i) [***] dollars upon the [***] of [***];    (ii) [***] dollars upon the [***] of [***];

Each of the foregoing milestone payments set forth in this Section 6.2(b) shall be paid no more than  once, irrespective of how many Licensed Products achieve each milestone or how many times a  Licensed Product achieves such milestone.  Accordingly, in no event shall Tarsus pay Elanco more than  six million five hundred thousand dollars ($6,500,000) in the aggregate pursuant to this Section 6.2(b).   Each milestone payment due pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) shall be paid within [***] days after the  achievement of the applicable milestone.

Each of the foregoing milestone payments set forth in this Section 6.2(c) shall be paid no  more than once, irrespective of how many times each milestone is achieved.  Accordingly, in no event  shall Tarsus pay Elanco more than sixty five million dollars ($65,000,000) in the aggregate pursuant to  





 






    12  this Section 6.2(c).  Each milestone payments due pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) shall be paid within  [***] days after the close of the calendar quarter in which such milestone is achieved.    (d) Upon Tarsus’s First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Developing World,  Elanco and Tarsus shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to determine sales milestones for sales  of the Licensed Product in the Developing World.  In any event, such milestones payments shall not  exceed (individually or in the aggregate) the milestone payments under Section 6.2(c) and the Net Sales  thresholds for each milestone payment shall not be less than the Net Sales Thresholds under 6.2(c).      6.3 Sublicense Revenue.      (a) Sublicense Revenue.  Tarsus shall pay Elanco a percentage of all Sublicense Revenue.   The percentage of such Sublicense Revenue that shall be paid to Elanco shall be as follows (with the  appropriate tier being determined for Sublicense Revenue at the time such Sublicense Revenue becomes  due to Tarsus, and with such percentage of Sublicense Revenue becoming due to Elanco at the time  such Sublicense Revenue is received by Tarsus):    (i) Until first dosing of a Licensed Product in a [***]: [***]%;    (ii) After first dosing of a Licensed Product in a [***] until first dosing  of a [***]: [***]%;    (iii) After first dosing of a Licensed Product in a [***] until first [***] of  a Licensed Product: [***]%; or     (iv) After first [***] of a Licensed Product and thereafter: [***]%.    (b) Sublicense Revenue Exclusions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following  shall be deemed Sublicense Revenue: [***].  Any assignment of this Agreement, change of control or  sale of a program involving rights under the Agreement shall not in any way be deemed the grant of a  sublicense. Tarsus shall not act in bad faith to intentionally structure Sublicense Revenue or a sublicense  as such in a manner that is intended to prevent payments of Sublicense Revenue to Elanco becoming  due.      (c) Neither Tarsus nor any of its Affiliates shall act in bad faith to delay invoicing,  payments, or the achievement milestones under this Agreement, or any sublicensing agreement  permitted hereunder, for the purpose of reducing (or eliminating) Sublicense Revenue which would  otherwise be shared with Elanco under this Agreement. In such case, if, absent such bad faith, such  invoice, payment, or milestone could have been sent or achieved before [***], then such invoice,  payment, or milestone shall be deemed sent or achieved prior to [***] for all purposes of Section 6.3(a).    6.4 Royalties.      (a) Royalty Rate. Subject to the other terms of this Section 6.4, for each calendar year  during the Royalty Term Tarsus shall pay:    (i) a [***] percent royalty on the first [***] dollars  of Net Sales of a Licensed  Product in [***] in such calendar year;    (ii) a [***] percent royalty on the next [***] dollars of Net Sales of a Licensed  Product [***] in such calendar year (i.e. the portion of such Net Sales between US$[***] and $[***] in  such calendar year);   





 






    13    (iii) a [***] percent royalty on the next [***] dollars of Net Sales of a Licensed  Product [***] in such calendar year (i.e. the portion of such Net Sales between US$[***] and $[***] in  such calendar year); and    (iv) a [***] percent royalty on all Net Sales of a Licensed Product [***] in such  calendar year in excess of [***] dollars (i.e. the portion of such Net Sales over $[***] in such calendar  year).     (b) Upon Tarsus’s First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Developing World,  Elanco and Tarsus shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to determine royalty rates for Net Sales  of the Licensed Product in the Developing World.  In any event, such royalty rates shall not exceed the  royalty rates under Section 6.4(a) and the Net Sales thresholds for each royalty rate shall not be less  than the Net Sales Thresholds under 6.4(a).    (c) No Multiple Royalties.  No multiple royalties shall be payable hereunder because the  use, manufacture or sale of any Licensed Product is Covered by more than one Valid Claim.     (d) Timing of Payments; Reports.   Commencing with the calendar quarter during which  the First Commercial Sale of the first Licensed Product is made anywhere in the Territory, and for each  calendar quarter thereafter during the Royalty Term during which royalties are due hereunder,  Tarsus  shall provide Elanco with a report that contains the following information for the applicable calendar  quarter, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis: (i) the amount of  gross sales of the Licensed Products, (ii) an itemized calculation of Net Sales showing deductions  provided for in the definition of “Net Sales”, (iii) a calculation of the royalty payment due on such sales,  and (iv) the exchange rate for such country.  Tarsus shall provide such report and make corresponding  payment to Elanco within forty five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter.      (e) Exchange Rate.  When conversion of payments from any foreign currency is required,  such conversion shall be calculated using an exchange rate equal to the rate of exchange published in  the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter for which payment is  due.      (f) No deductions for third party licenses. No deductions from any payments under this  agreement shall be made because Tarsus is required to make payments, royalty payments or otherwise,  to third parties to obtain rights or licenses to intellectual property rights in respect of a Licensed Product.     (g) Royalty Reduction. If at any time during the Royalty Term for a given Licensed Product  in a given country, there is no Valid Claim Covering such Licensed Product in such country, then the  royalty rate payable by Tarsus pursuant to Section 6.4(a) (or established pursuant to Section 6.4(b))  shall be reduced to [***]percent of the rates set forth in Section 6.4(a) (or Section 6.4(b), as the case  may be).    6.5 Mode of Payment.  Tarsus shall pay all payments to Elanco under this Agreement by wire  transfer of immediately available funds to a USD functional bank account designated in writing by  Elanco, in U.S. Dollars or such other currency as the Parties may mutually agree in writing.     6.6 Quarterly information.     (a) Tarsus Common Stock activity. Until the completion of the Tarsus Initial Public  Offering, for each of the three-month periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December  31, Tarsus shall provide to Elanco (i) the capitalization table as of period-end, no later than fifteen (15)  days following period-end. At a minimum, the capitalization table shall include all equity types (e.g.,  Common Stock, Preferred Stock, etc.). In addition, Tarsus shall provide to Elanco (i) Tarsus’ most  recently available 409A valuation, and (ii) information about all sales and purchases of Tarsus’  





 






    14  Preferred Stock and Common Stock during the respective three-month period. Such information shall  be sufficient for Elanco to calculate its ownership percentage and shall be provided by Tarsus  electronically no later than forty-five (45) days following period-end.   (b) Unaudited financial statements. Until the completion of the Tarsus Initial Public  Offering, for each of the three-month periods ending March 31, June 30, and September 30, Tarsus shall  provide to Elanco unaudited financial statements as of and for the three-month period then ended. The  unaudited financial statements shall be provided by Tarsus electronically no later than forty-five (45)  days following period-end.  At a minimum, the unaudited financial statements shall include a balance  sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows.    6.7 Annual financial statements.  Until the completion of the Tarsus Initial Public Offering, on  an annual basis, Tarsus shall provide to Elanco audited financial statements as of and for the year then  ended. The audited financial statements shall be provided by Tarsus electronically no later than forty- five (45) business days following period-end. At a minimum, the audited financial statements shall  include a balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows.    6.8 Audit.  Tarsus shall keep or cause to be kept books of account containing all information that  may be necessary for the purpose of calculating amounts payable by Tarsus in connection with this  Agreement for a period of three (3) calendar years following the end of the calendar year during which  such amounts were payable. Elanco may appoint an independent public accountant (on a non- contingency basis and reasonably acceptable to Tarsus; any “Big 4” accountant shall be deemed  acceptable to Tarsus), at Elanco’s expense and subject to such accountant entering into a confidentiality  agreement with Tarsus, to inspect such books of account in order to verify the calculation of any  amounts payable to Elanco hereunder.  Such inspections shall be performed not more frequently than  once in any twelve (12) month period and upon reasonable prior written notice, and shall be conducted  during regular business hours in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with Tarsus’s normal  business activities.  Elanco’s accountant may only share with Elanco the report containing the summary  results of its inspection, but not the books of account reviewed by the accountant during the audit, and  such report shall constitute Tarsus’s Confidential Information. If any such inspection reveals that any  payment which should have been paid by Tarsus is greater than those which were actually paid by it  and such underpayment is not disputed by Tarsus, then Tarsus shall promptly pay the underpaid amount  to Elanco.  If the undisputed payments which should have been paid by Tarsus are at least [***] percent  greater than those which were actually paid by Tarsus, then Tarsus shall also reimburse Elanco for the  reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such inspection.     6.9 Taxes.  Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes imposed on its  share of income arising directly or indirectly from its activities or receipt of payments under this  Agreement.  To the extent Tarsus is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to Elanco  hereunder, it shall deduct such amounts from payments to Elanco and pay the amounts of such taxes to  the proper governmental authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Elanco an official tax  certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable Elanco to claim such payment of  taxes.  Elanco shall provide Tarsus any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Tarsus  not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an Applicable Law or bilateral income tax  treaty.      6.10 Sales Forecast.  Within [***] days after January 1 of each calendar year, Tarsus shall provide  Elanco with Tarsus’s projected Net Sales over the next [***] calendar years.  For clarity, such  projections would be for informational purposes only and the foregoing is not binding on Tarsus in any  way.    7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.       7.1 Prosecution and Maintenance of Licensed Patents.      





 






    15  (a) Elanco shall be solely responsible for prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed  Patents including, but not limited to, the filing of patent applications included therein.  Elanco shall  keep Tarsus reasonably informed with respect to the status and progress of any such applications,  prosecutions and maintenance activities.  Elanco shall consider in good faith the comments of Tarsus  with respect to any such applications and prosecutions and maintenance activities.      (b) Elanco may, in its sole discretion, elect to abandon any issued patent or pending patent  application included in the Licensed Patents, or not file any patent application with respect thereto in  any country.  Prior to any such abandonment or decision not to file in any country, Elanco shall give  Tarsus at least [***] days’ notice and a reasonable opportunity to take over such maintenance,  prosecution or filing.  In such event, Tarsus shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence or  continue such maintenance, prosecution or filing under its own control and at its sole expense.  Tarsus  shall have no further payment obligations (including with respect to royalties and milestone payments)  or other obligations to Elanco with respect to any such patents or patent applications or patents issuing  from such applications.      7.2 Enforcement of Licensed IP.      (a) During the Royalty Term, each Party shall promptly provide written notice to the other  Party of any actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation in the Field by any Third Party of any  intellectual property rights included in the Licensed IP of which it becomes aware.  Elanco shall have  the first right, but not the obligation, to enforce the Licensed IP against any such infringement or  misappropriation claim in the Field at its own expense and utilizing counsel of its choice.  Elanco shall  neither settle nor voluntarily dispose of any action to enforce the Licensed IP in the Field without  Tarsus’s written consent.  If Elanco desires to voluntarily dispose of any action to enforce the Licensed  IP in the Field then Elanco shall notify Tarsus and offer Tarsus the opportunity to assume control of  such enforcement action (“Voluntary Disposal Notice”).  If Tarsus notifies Elanco of its election to  assume control of such enforcement action then Elanco shall take all reasonable actions necessary to  allow Tarsus to properly do so.  Elanco may voluntarily dispose of such enforcement action if: (i) Tarsus  notifies Elanco that it does not desire to assume control of such enforcement action; or (ii) Tarsus does  not notify Elanco of any election within [***] days after Elanco provides Voluntary Disposal Notice.     (b) With respect to any potential enforcement under subsection (a) above, if Elanco does  not notify Tarsus of its intention to enforce against such alleged infringement or misappropriation within  [***] days of the date Elanco becomes aware of such alleged infringement or misappropriation, or does  not commence prosecution of such claim within [***] days after the date Elanco becomes aware of  such alleged infringement or misappropriation, then, Tarsus shall have the right, but not the obligation,  to prosecute such claim at its own expense and utilizing counsel of its choice.      (c) The enforcing Party shall regularly update the other Party in writing with respect to the  status of any such enforcement actions.  Any recovery of damages by shall be applied (i) first, in  satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of the enforcing Party, (ii) second, in  satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of the other Party, and (iii) third, if additional  recoveries remain after all of the unreimbursed expenses and legal fees are fully paid as set forth in (i)  and (ii), the balance remaining with respect to any such recovery shall be retained by (or paid by Elanco  to, as the case may be) Tarsus and such amount shall be treated as Net Sales and subject to the payment  of royalties pursuant to Section 6.3.     (d) At the request of the Party bringing the action, the other Party shall provide reasonable  assistance in connection therewith, including by executing reasonably appropriate documents,  cooperating in discovery and joining as a party plaintiff to the action if required to obtain necessary  standing.      7.3 Improvements. Elanco shall own any invention conceived by or for Elanco from the use of  the Compound or otherwise derived by or for Elanco from the Compound (“Elanco Improvements”).  





 






    16  Tarsus shall own any invention conceived by or for Tarsus from the use of the Compound or otherwise  derived by or for Tarsus from the Compound (“Tarsus Improvements”).  Tarsus hereby grants Elanco  an exclusive royalty-free, perpetual license to the Research Inventions and Tarsus Improvements for  applications in the Elanco Field.          8. MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY.    8.1 Initial Supply Terms.  Each calendar quarter, Tarsus shall supply Elanco with a written,  non-binding forecast showing good faith estimations of its (and its Affiliates’ and sublicensees’)  quarterly requirements for the Compound for the following four (4) calendar quarters (the “Forecast”).   Elanco shall manufacture (or have manufactured) and supply to Tarsus quantities of the Compound as  and when reasonably requested by Tarsus to the extent within the Forecast.  Tarsus’s price for all  Compounds purchased pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be the price at which Elanco purchases such  Compound plus [***] percent thereof.    8.2 Manufacturing and Supply Agreement.  The Parties agree to enter into a good-faith more  detailed manufacturing and supply agreement within a reasonable timeframe. The supply agreement  should provide for a stated supply price (which price shall represent a small markup over Elanco’s  costs).       8.3 Change of chemistry.     (a) Tarsus acknowledges and agrees that Elanco shall be free to use alternate chemistry  and improve the Compound in its sole discretion without Tarsus consent.       (b) Elanco shall provide Tarsus with [***] prior notice (the “Compound Change Period”)  if Elanco will cease to provide any Compound previously provided to Tarsus pursuant to a chemical  change and will supply Tarsus with any quantities of such Compound requested by Tarsus during the  Compound Change Period (even if such quantities exceed the amount projected in the Forecast).  Elanco  shall notify the JSC as soon as it contemplates possibly ceasing to provide a Compound as previously  provided to Tarsus because of use of alternative chemistry or other changes to the Compound.  The JSC  shall discuss such contemplated changes if Tarsus informs Elanco that it reasonably believes such  change could have a regulatory impact; provided, however, that Elanco shall have the right to make the  final decision regarding such change after discussion by the JSC.    8.4 Have Made Rights.  For clarity, Section 2.1 grants Tarsus the right to have a third party  make the Compound for Tarsus.  Elanco must approve such third party supplier unless: (a) the transfer  to the supplier does not qualify as a Sensitive Transfer; or (b) such supplier is credible and reputable.   Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  For all purposes of the  foregoing, the following entities and their Affiliates shall be deemed credible and reputable (and shall  not require Elanco consent): [***] (or any Affiliate of the foregoing), [***].      9. INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE.    9.1 Indemnification by Elanco.  Elanco shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tarsus, its  Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns  against all third party losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements,  interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (collectively, “Losses”), resulting from (a) any  action instituted against any of them by any Third Party arising out of from Elanco’s breach of any  representation, warranty or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, or (b) the gross negligence or willful  misconduct of Elanco, except, in each case, to the extent such Losses are Losses for which Tarsus is  obligated to indemnify Elanco pursuant to Section 9.2 or to the extent such Losses arise from the breach  by Tarsus or its Affiliates of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement or from  the failure of any sublicensees to comply with any obligations required of sublicensees under this  Agreement.  





 






    17    9.2 Indemnification by Tarsus.  Tarsus shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Elanco, its  Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns  against all Losses resulting from (a) Tarsus’s breach of any representation, warranty or obligations  pursuant to this Agreement, ,(b) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tarsus; or (c) the  development, making, having made, using, having used, leasing, importing, offering to sell, selling  and/or having sold, any Compound or Licensed Product by Tarsus, its Affiliates and sublicensees or the  failure of any of them to comply with Applicable Law in connection with any such activities, except,  in each case, to the extent Elanco is required to indemnify Tarsus under Section 9.1 for such Losses or  to the extent such Losses arise from the breach by Elanco or its Affiliates of its representations,  warranties or obligations under this Agreement.     9.3 Indemnification Procedure.  The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying  party in writing of any action for which it intends to seek indemnification hereunder and cooperate  reasonably with the indemnifying party at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense.  The  indemnifying party shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after being so notified, to assume the  defense of any action with counsel of its choice that is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  The indemnifying party shall not settle any action in a manner that adversely affects the rights of any  indemnified party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be  unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnified party’s failure to provide prompt notice to the  indemnifying party of any action shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this  Section 9.3 except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate that it has been materially  prejudiced as a result of the failure. Subject to the indemnifying party’s right to control the defense and  settlement thereof, the indemnified party may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost  and expense with counsel of its own choosing. A Party shall not be responsible for the indemnification  or defense of the other Party to the extent arising from any negligent or intentional acts by such Party,  or the breach by such Party of any representations, obligations or warranty under this Agreement, or  any claims compromised or settled without prior written consent.     9.4 Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to a breach of Section 10, or a Party’s liability  pursuant to Section 9 or Section 7.2, neither Party shall be liable for special, incidental, consequential,  exemplary, punitive, or other indirect or remote damages, or loss of profits, loss of data or loss of use  damages arising in any way out of this Agreement or the exercise of its rights hereunder, whether based  upon warranty, contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise.      10. CONFIDENTIALITY.    10.1 Non-Disclosure and Non-Use.  Each Receiving Party shall:     (a) not disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any Person other  than (i) Persons who have a “need to know” such information for purposes of the Receiving Party’s  performance or exercise of rights under this Agreement, and (ii) any Affiliates or sublicensees (or  potential sublicensees) of the Receiving Party or other Persons working on the Receiving Party’s behalf  (including without limitation consultants, contract manufacturers, and independent contractors),  provided that any such Person agrees to be bound by terms and conditions no less stringent than those  set forth in this Section 10; and      (b) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than  in connection with performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement.      10.2 Disclosure Required by Applicable Law.  Section 10.1 shall not apply to Confidential  Information which the Receiving Party is required by Applicable Law (including, without limitation,  any reporting requirements arising under the federal securities laws or the regulations promulgated by  any national securities exchange on which securities of the Receiving Party are traded), court order, or  similar requirements to disclose, provided that the Receiving Party:   





 






    18    (a) provides the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice thereof such that the  Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy with respect to such  Confidential Information, including, without limitation, confidential treatment to the extent available  under any Applicable Law, and the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with reasonable  cooperation in order to obtain such a protective order or other remedy, including confidential treatment,  and     (b) discloses only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally compelled to  disclose.      10.3 Permitted Disclosures.  Section 10.1 shall not prevent either Party from (a) preparing,  filing, prosecuting, defending or maintaining Licensed Patents, (b) disclosing Confidential Information  to Regulatory Authorities to the extent the Receiving Party reasonably believes it is required or desirable  in connection with clinical testing of any Licensed Product or to secure Regulatory Approval for the  development or marketing of any Licensed Product, (c) disclosing Confidential Information to the  extent required by the Securities and Exchange Commission or applicable tax authorities, (d) disclosure  to a Third Party in connection with due diligence by such Third Party, and disclosure to potential Third  Party investors in confidential financing documents, provided that any such Third Party agrees to be  bound by reasonable obligations of confidentiality and non-use, to the extent possible.    11. TERM; TERMINATION.    11.1 Term; Expiration. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless  sooner terminated as provided hereunder, shall expire on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and  country-by-country basis upon the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to such Licensed Product  in such country.  Following such expiration of the Royalty Term, the license granted by Elanco to Tarsus  in Section 2.1 with respect to such Licensed Product in such country shall become fully-paid, royalty- free, worldwide, exclusive, and perpetual.      11.2 Termination.    (a) Upon any material breach or default of this Agreement by a Party, the other Party shall  have the right to terminate this Agreement upon giving sixty (60) days’ prior written notice thereof to  the breaching Party. Such termination shall become effective thirty (30) days after at the end of such  sixty (60) day period unless the breaching Party shall have cured any such breach or default prior to the  expiration of such sixty (60) day period; or if such breach cannot be reasonably cured within sixty (60)  days, but the breaching Party has commenced reasonable actions to cure such breach, then such longer  period as may be required to cure such breach provided that the breaching Party continues to diligently  cure such breach.  If the material breach or default by the breaching Party applies only to a given  country, the other Party may only terminate this Agreement with respect to such country and thereafter  the Territory shall no longer include the country in which such termination has occurred.    (b) No such termination by a Party pursuant to Section 11.2(a) shall be effective prior to  the resolution of any dispute with respect to the occurrence of any material breach of or default under  this Agreement as to which such Party seeks to exercise such right of termination. If as a result of such  dispute resolution process it is determined that a Party’s notice of breach was proper, then such notice  shall be deemed to have been effective if the breaching Party fails thereafter to cure such breach in  accordance with the determination made in the resolution process within the applicable cure period  following such determination.  If as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined that the  notice of breach was improper, then no such notice shall be deemed to have been effective and this  Agreement shall remain in effect. All of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full  force and effect during the pendency of such dispute resolution process.
