All applicable terms of the Equity Plan apply to this Program as if fully set forth herein, and all grants of share options hereby are subject in all respects to the terms of the Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement.  
A.Initial Awards.  Each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board shall automatically be granted a mix of (a) an option to purchase the Company’s Class A common shares and (b) restricted stock units, representing the right to receive Class A common shares (“RSUs”), with a combined value equal to $600,000 divided by the Black-Scholes Value (as defined below), rounded down to the nearest whole share, with such other adjustments as determined by the Board’s Compensation Committee, but no more than a total of 80,000 shares, of the Company’s Class A common shares on the date of such initial election or appointment.  The proportion of share options to RSUs included in such award shall be determined by the Board’s Compensation Committee from time-to-time. The awards described in this Section II(A) shall be referred to as “Initial Awards.”  No Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial Award.

​
C.Black-Scholes Value.  For purposes of this Section II, “Black-Scholes Value” means the per share fair value of an option calculated on the basis of the Black-Scholes option pricing model and using as inputs to such model (i) for the value of one Class A common share of the Company, the average closing price of the Company’s Class A common shares over each trading day occurring in the 30 calendar days ending on the last day of the month prior to the month in which the grant date of the relevant Initial Award or Subsequent Award occurs and (ii) such other assumptions as are determined by the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer on or prior to the grant date of the relevant Initial Award or Subsequent Award.
D.Termination of Employment of Employee Directors.  Members of the Board who are employees of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company who subsequently terminate their employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company and remain on the Board will not receive an Initial Award pursuant to Section II(A) above, but to the extent that they are otherwise entitled, will receive, after termination of employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company, Subsequent Awards as described in Section II(B) above.  
E.Terms of Option Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors

2.Vesting.  The share options contained in an Initial Award shall vest and become exercisable as to one-third of the share options subject to the Initial Award on the first anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remainder in twenty-four (24) substantially equal monthly installments thereafter, such that the share options contained in an Initial Award shall be fully vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service as a Non-Employee Director through each such vesting date.  The share options contained in a Subsequent Award shall vest and become exercisable in twelve (12) substantially equal monthly installments following the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board as a Non-Employee Director through each such vesting date.  Unless the Board otherwise determines, any share options contained in an Initial Award or Subsequent Award which are unvested or unexercisable at the time of a Non-Employee Director’s termination of service on the Board as a Non-Employee Director shall be immediately forfeited upon such termination of service and shall not thereafter become vested and exercisable.  All of the share options contained in a Non-Employee Director’s Initial Awards and Subsequent Awards shall vest in full immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan), to the extent outstanding at such time.

Prior to Kiniksa’s or its Affiliate’s execution of an agreement with a Third Party to acquire or license any Kiniksa Identified Rights or Partner Identified Rights that would be licensed to Partner hereunder if Controlled by Kiniksa or its Affiliates (together, “New Kiniksa In-Licensed Rights” and any such agreement, a “New Third Party IP Agreement,” and together with the Regeneron License Agreement, the “Third Party IP Agreements”), Kiniksa will provide Partner with a copy of the proposed New Third Party IP Agreement from which copy Kiniksa may only redact information that is not necessary for Partner to determine the scope of the rights sublicensed to Partner or for Partner to determine whether such New Third Party IP Agreement will relieve or modify Kiniksa’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement and Partner will have an opportunity to review and comment on the terms of the proposed New Third Party IP Agreement that are applicable to the Territory, the performance of Kiniksa’s obligations under this Agreement, and other material terms thereof, including any payments that Kiniksa or its Affiliates would be obligated to pay in connection with the grant, maintenance, or exercise of a license or sublicense thereunder (as applicable) to Partner. To the extent Kiniksa is able to exclude the Territory from the territory of such proposed New Third Party IP Agreement, Partner will have the right to decline to take a sublicense under such proposed New Third Party IP Agreement. If Partner does not decline a sublicense under such proposed New Third Party IP Agreement or if Kiniksa is not able to exclude the Territory from the territory of such proposed New Third Party IP Agreement, 

25
​
​

​

			then Kiniksa will take into consideration Partner’s reasonable comments with respect to such New Third Party IP Agreement and Kiniksa will use reasonable efforts to ensure that such New Third Party IP Agreement includes the right to grant a sublicense to Partner in the Field in the Territory under the applicable New Kiniksa In-Licensed Rights such that Kiniksa or its Affiliate Controls such rights as Kiniksa Know-How or Kiniksa Patent Rights (as applicable).  Upon execution of such New Third Party IP Agreement, Kiniksa will notify Partner in writing and will provide a copy of the New Third Party IP Agreement to Partner, provided that Kiniksa may only redact information that is not necessary for Partner to determine the scope of the rights sublicensed to Partner or for Partner to determine whether such New Third Party IP Agreement will relieve or modify Kiniksa’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Kiniksa further acknowledges and agrees that Partner is not obligated to comply with, or incur liability under, any terms of any New Third Party IP Agreement that Kiniksa fails to provide to Partner for its review and comment prior to the execution thereof in accordance with this Section 2.7.3 (Third Party In-Licenses). Further, Kiniksa will not be relieved from performing its obligations under this Agreement under or as a result of any New Third Party IP Agreement that Kiniksa fails to provide to Partner for its review and comment prior to the execution thereof in accordance with this Section 2.7.3 (Third Party In-Licenses). Each New Third Party IP Agreement will be subject to the requirements of Section 2.6.2 (Third Party IP Agreement Amendments) with respect to amendments of such New Third Party IP Agreements.  The terms of this Section 2.7.3 (Third Party In-Licenses) and the payment terms under Section 2.7.4 (Responsibility for Costs) will not apply to any agreement pursuant to which Kiniksa is granted rights under Know-How or Patent Rights that are [***] to Exploit the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory if Kiniksa determines that Partner need not be responsible for any costs thereunder pursuant to Section 2.7.4 (Responsibility for Costs) (but such agreement will be subject to Section 2.6.1 (Compliance) and Section 2.6.2 (Third Party IP Agreement Amendments)); provided, however, that (a) Partner is not obligated to comply with, or incur liability under, any terms of any New Third Party IP Agreement that Kiniksa fails to provide to Partner for its review and comment prior to the execution thereof in accordance with this Section 2.7.3 (Third Party In-Licenses) and (b) Kiniksa will not be relieved from performing its obligations under this Agreement under or as a result of any such New Third Party IP Agreement that Kiniksa fails to provide to Partner for its review and comment prior to the execution thereof in accordance with this Section 2.7.3 (Third Party In-Licenses). In addition, if any agreement pursuant to which Kiniksa obtains rights to any Kiniksa Identified Rights does not include the Territory (because Partner declines a sublicense under the applicable Kiniksa Identified Rights and Kiniksa is able to obtain rights under such Kiniksa Identified Rights that exclude the Territory), then the payment terms under Section 2.7.4 (Responsibility for Costs) will not apply to such agreement, such agreement will not be a New Third Party IP Agreement for purposes of this Agreement, and the Know-How and Patent Rights licensed to Kiniksa pursuant to such Agreement will not be deemed “Controlled” by Kiniksa for purposes of this Agreement. 

		2.7.4	Responsibility for Costs.  Following Kiniksa’s or its Affiliate’s execution of the applicable New Third Party IP Agreement, to the extent Kiniksa Controls such rights, (a) such New Kiniksa In-Licensed Rights will be included in the Kiniksa Know-How or Kiniksa Patent Rights (as applicable) and licensed or sublicensed (as applicable) to Partner under the licenses granted in Section 2.1 (License Grants to Partner), subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Third Party IP Agreement, and (b) Partner will reimburse Kiniksa for (i) [***]% of any payments under such Third Party IP Agreement that solely pertain to, or arise solely as a result of, the Exploitation of the Licensed Product 

26
​
​

​

			in the Territory (for example, royalty payments that are solely attributable to sales of Licensed Product in the Territory or milestone payments payable upon achievement of events solely in the Territory), with the understanding that any milestone payments that pertain to, or arise solely as a result of, the Exploitation of the Licensed Product in the Territory will not represent more than [***]% of the total milestone payments due under such Third Party IP Agreement, and (ii) [***]% of any upfront payments, milestone payments, or similar payments payable in consideration for any New Kiniksa In-Licensed Rights that pertain to, or arise as a result of, the Exploitation of the Licensed Product both inside and outside of the Territory or that are non-Territory specific (for example, an upfront payment to access technology or worldwide sales milestones).

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties or as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement, during the Term, Partner will not, and will ensure that its Subsidiaries do not, conduct, license, participate in, or fund, directly or indirectly, independently or for or with any Third Party, the Exploitation of any Competitive Product in the Territory (or license or otherwise grant rights or authorize any Third Party to do any of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Competitive Activities”).

		2.8.2	Kiniksa Exclusivity.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties or as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement, during the Term, Kiniksa will not, and will ensure that its Affiliates do not, conduct, license, participate in, or fund, directly or indirectly, independently or for or with any Third Party, any Competitive Activities. 

		2.8.3	Business Combinations.  Neither Party nor its Subsidiaries will be in breach of the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.8 (Exclusivity Covenants) if such Party or any of its Affiliates undergoes a Change of Control with a Third Party (together with such Third Party and its Affiliates following the closing of the applicable Change of Control transaction, the “Acquired Party”) that (either directly or through an Affiliate, or in collaboration with any Third Party) (a) is performing any Competitive Activities at the closing of the Change of Control transaction or (b) commences any Competitive Activities after the closing of the Change of Control transaction; and such Acquired Party may perform such Competitive Activities in the Territory, as long as (i) no Kiniksa Technology or Partner Technology is used directly or indirectly by or on behalf of such Acquired Party or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of any Competitive Activities, and (ii) such Acquired Party institutes commercially reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to ensure the requirements set forth in the foregoing clause (i) are met, including by creating “firewalls” between the personnel performing any Competitive Activities and the personnel teams charged with Exploiting the Licensed Product or having access to data from activities performed under this Agreement or Confidential Information of the Parties. 

		2.8.4	Acquisition of a Competitive Product.  Neither Party nor its Subsidiaries (with respect to Partner) or its Affiliates (with respect to Kiniksa) will be in breach of the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.8 (Exclusivity Covenants) if such Party or any of its Subsidiaries (with respect to Partner) or its Affiliates (with respect to Kiniksa) acquires a Competitive Product that is being Exploited in the Territory through an acquisition of, or a merger with, the whole or substantially the whole of a business or assets of another Person, so long as such Party (or its Affiliate) (a) enters into a definitive agreement with a Third Party to divest (whether by exclusive out-license or otherwise) such Competitive Product 

27

​

​

			throughout the Territory within [***] months after the closing of such acquisition or merger or (b) terminates the further Exploitation of such Competitive Product throughout the Territory within [***] days after the closing of such acquisition or merger, and, until the completion of such divestiture or termination, (i) no Kiniksa Technology or Partner Technology is used by or on behalf of such Party or its Affiliates in connection with any subsequent Exploitation of such Competitive Products in the Territory, and (ii) such Party and its Affiliates institute commercially reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to ensure the requirements set forth in the foregoing clause (i) are met, including by creating “firewalls” between the personnel Exploiting such Competitive Products and the personnel teams charged with Exploiting the Licensed Product or having access to data from activities performed under this Agreement or Confidential Information of the Parties.

Each Party may from time to time invite a reasonable number of participants, in addition to its representatives (which may include legal counsel), to attend a meeting of the JSC and the JDC (in a non-voting capacity), if such participants have expertise that is relevant to the planned agenda for such JSC or JDC meeting; provided that if either Party intends to have any Third Party (including any consultant) attend such a meeting, then such Party will provide prior written notice to the other Party reasonably in advance of such meeting and will ensure that such Third Party is bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those set forth in Article 11 (Confidentiality; Publication).  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if the other Party objects in good faith to the participation of such Third Party in such meeting due to a bona fide concern regarding competitively sensitive information that is reasonably likely to be discussed at such meeting (i.e., a consultant that also provides services to a Third Party with a Competitive Product), then such Third Party will not be permitted to participate in such meeting (or the portion thereof during which such competitively sensitive information is reasonably likely to be discussed).

	3.5	Decision-Making.

		3.5.1	General Process.  The JSC and the JDC will have only the powers expressly assigned to it in this Article 3 (Governance) and elsewhere in this Agreement and will not have the authority to: (a) modify or amend the terms of this Agreement; or (b) waive either Party’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement.  All decisions of the JSC and the JDC will be made by unanimous vote, with each Party’s representatives having one vote (i.e., one vote per Party).  No action taken at any meeting of the JSC or the JDC will be effective unless there is a quorum at such meeting, and at all such meetings, a quorum will be reached if two voting representatives of each Party are present or participating in such meeting and no Party will unreasonably fail to cause a quorum of its representatives to attend any meeting of the JSC and JDC. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the phrases “determine,” “designate,” “confirm,” “approve,” or “determine whether to approve” by the JSC or the JDC and similar phrases used in this Agreement will mean approval in accordance with this Section 3.5 (Decision-Making), including the escalation and tie-breaking provisions herein.  For the avoidance of doubt, matters that are specified in Section 3.2.4 (JSC Roles and Responsibilities) and Section 3.3.3 (JDC Roles and Responsibilities) to be reviewed and discussed (as opposed to reviewed, discussed, and approved) do not require any agreement or decision by either Party and are not subject to the voting and decision-making procedures set forth in this Section 3.5 (Decision-Making) or in Section 3.6 (Resolution of JSC Disputes).

32
​
​

​

		3.5.2	Resolution of JDC Disputes.  The JSC will use good faith efforts to resolve all disputes that arise within the JDC within [***] days after any such matter is brought to the JSC for resolution.

		3.5.3	Decisions of the JSC.  The JSC will use good faith efforts, in compliance with this Section 3.5.3 (Decisions of the JSC), to promptly resolve any such matter for which it has authority.  If, after the use of good faith efforts, the JSC is unable to resolve any such matter referred to it by the JDC or any matter that is within the scope of the JSC’s authority or any other disagreement between the Parties that may be referred to the JSC, in each case, within a period of [***] days, then a Party may refer such matter for resolution in accordance with 3.6.1 (Referral to Executive Officers) to the Chief Executive Officer of Kiniksa (or an executive officer of Kiniksa designated by the Chief Executive Officer of Kiniksa who has the power and authority to resolve such matter) and the Chief Executive Officer of Partner (or an executive officer of Partner designated by the Chief Executive Officer of Partner who has the power and authority to resolve such matter) (collectively, the “Executive Officers”).

	3.6	Resolution of JSC Disputes.

		3.6.1	Referral to Executive Officers.  If a Party makes an election under Section 3.5.3 (Decisions of the JSC) to refer a matter on which the JSC cannot reach a consensus decision for resolution by the Executive Officers, then the JSC will submit in writing the respective positions of the Parties to their respective Executive Officers.  The Executive Officers will use good faith efforts to resolve any such matter so referred to them as soon as practicable, and any final decision that the Executive Officers agree to in writing will be conclusive and binding on the Parties.

		3.6.2	Final Decision-Making Authority.  If the Executive Officers are unable to reach agreement on any such matter referred to them within [***] days after such matter is so referred (or such longer period as the Executive Officers may agree upon), then:

		(a)	No Change; Status Quo.  Neither Party will have final decision-making authority over (i) [***], or (ii) [***] (each, a “Status Quo Item”), and all such matters must be decided by unanimous agreement in order to take any action or adopt any change from the then-current status quo.

		(b)	Partner Final Decision-Making Authority.  Partner will have final decision-making authority over matters that are not Status Quo Items and that are (i) [***], (ii) [***], and (iii) [***]. 

		(c)	Kiniksa Final Decision-Making Authority.  Kiniksa will have final decision-making authority with respect to all matters related to (i) [***], (ii) [***], (iii) [***], (iv) [***], and (vi) [***]. 

		3.6.3	Limitations on Decision-Making.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, without the other Party’s prior written consent, neither Party (in the exercise of a Party’s final decision-making authority), the JSC the JDC, nor a Party’s Executive Officer, in each case, may make a decision that could reasonably be expected to (a) require the other Party to take any action that such other Party reasonably believes would (i) require such other Party to violate any Applicable Law, the requirements of any Regulatory Authority, or any agreement with any Third Party entered into by such other 

33
​
​

​

			Party (including any Third Party IP Agreement) or (ii) require such other Party to infringe or misappropriate any intellectual property rights of any Third Party or (b) conflict with, amend, interpret, modify, or waive compliance under this Agreement, the Clinical Supply Agreement, the Commercial Supply Agreement, the Safety Agreement, or any other agreement between the Parties related to the subject matter set forth herein. 

	3.7	Discontinuation of JSC.  The JSC will continue to exist until the first to occur of (a) the Parties agreeing to disband the JSC, or (b) Kiniksa providing written notice to Partner of its intention to disband and no longer participate in the JSC. Once the JSC is disbanded, the JSC will have no further obligations under this Agreement and, thereafter, the Alliance Managers will be the points of contact for the exchange of information between the Parties under this Agreement and any references in this Agreement to performance of the obligations of each Party’s representatives to the JSC, the exercise of each Party’s representatives rights as members of the JSC, and to the decisions of the JSC, in each case, will automatically become references to the performance of each Party’s obligations, exercise of rights, and decisions by and between the Parties in writing, subject to the other terms of this Agreement and consistent with the terms of Section 3.6 (Resolution of JSC Disputes). 

Article 4​
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERS

Following the Initial Know-How Transfer for the Licensed Product, Kiniksa will provide to the JDC in advance of the last JDC meeting each Calendar Quarter or more frequently as agreed by the Parties, a summary of any additional Kiniksa Know-How that is [***] for Partner’s performance of Clinical Development, Pre-Clinical Development (to the extent permitted in accordance with Section 5.2.2 (Territory Pre-Clinical Development)), Medical Affairs, or Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory in accordance with this Agreement, in each case, developed by or that comes into the Control of Kiniksa or its Affiliates since the previous quarterly disclosure.  Upon Partner’s reasonable request during the Term (and no later than [***] days after any such reasonable request), Kiniksa will make available to Partner all such Kiniksa Know-How in Kiniksa’s or its Affiliates’ possession and not previously provided to Partner hereunder (the “Continuing Know-How Transfer,” and together with the Initial Know-How Transfer, the “Technology Transfer”).  

	4.3	Technology Transfer Costs.  Kiniksa will provide consultation and assistance with qualified personnel in connection with the Technology Transfer for the Licensed Product as reasonably requested by Partner and as reasonably necessary to accomplish each of the Initial Know-How 

34
​
​

​

		Transfer and Continuing Know-How Transfer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

		5.2.2	Territory Pre-Clinical Development.  In connection with the Clinical Development of the Licensed Product pursuant to a given Territory Development Plan, Partner may identify on a country-by-country or region-by-region basis, certain Pre-Clinical Development that is required in order to obtain Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product in such country or region (“Required Pre-Clinical Development”).  [***]. If the JSC approves a Pre-Clinical Development Plan, then Kiniksa will have [***] days following the date of such approval by the JSC to determine whether it will either perform or permit Partner to perform such Required Pre-Clinical Development in accordance with the Pre-Clinical Development Plan.  If Kiniksa elects to perform such Required Pre-Clinical Development, then Kiniksa will (a) provide to Partner a budget for such Pre-Clinical Development, to be included under the Pre-Clinical Development Plan, (b) use reasonable efforts to perform the Required Pre-Clinical Development in accordance with the applicable Pre-Clinical Development Plan (including the budget therein), and (c) deliver all results therefrom to Partner in accordance with Section 4.2 (Continuing Know-How Transfer) or as otherwise specified in the Pre-Clinical Development Plan. Partner will reimburse Kiniksa for its documented costs and expenses incurred performing such Required Pre-Clinical Development. If Kiniksa elects not to perform the Required Pre-Clinical Development as set forth in the applicable Pre-Clinical Development Plan, or fails to notify Partner of its decision within such [***] day time period, then (i) Partner will have the right to perform, at its cost and expense, the Required Pre-Clinical Development in accordance with the applicable Pre-Clinical Development Plan, and (ii) only in such case, will Partner have the right to practice under the non-exclusive license under the Kiniksa Technology granted pursuant to Section 2.1 (Licenses Granted to Partner) solely with respect to the performance of the Pre-Clinical Development in accordance with the applicable Pre-Clinical Development Plan.    

	5.3	Global Development Plan.  The Parties’ global Development of the Licensed Product inside and outside of the Territory will be conducted pursuant to a written plan (as updated from time to time in accordance with this Section 5.3 (Global Development Plan), the “Global Development Plan”).  The initial Global Development Plan for the Licensed Product is set forth on Schedule 5.3 (Global Development Plan) attached hereto. Other than any Clinical Development for the Licensed Product to be performed by Partner under the Global Development Plan (if Partner either requests or is requested to serve as Territory Sponsor, and agrees, following review and discussion by the JSC, to serve as the Territory Sponsor for such trials in accordance with this Agreement), Kiniksa will have the right to conduct all Development activities for the Licensed Product, including all non-clinical and preclinical studies for the Licensed Product worldwide, pursuant to the Global Development Plan (and solely pursuant to the Global Development Plan as it relates to the Territory) and will have the exclusive right to conduct Development activities for the Licensed Product outside the Territory. In addition to Partner’s exclusive right to conduct Territory Development activities for the Licensed Product included in the Territory Development Plan, Partner will have the right to request (or to consent, if Kiniksa so requests of Partner), in each case, following review and discussion by the JSC, and permitted under Applicable Law (and subject to Partner agreeing to bear its share of costs for such Global Clinical Trial in accordance with Section 5.7.2 (Global Development Costs)), to support the global Development of the Licensed Product by serving as Territory Sponsor for and otherwise participating in the conduct of certain Global Clinical Trials, including, to the extent practicable, any Ongoing Global Clinical Trial, and other Clinical Development activities in the Territory as set forth in, and in accordance with, the Global Development Plan. Following any determination that Partner will serve as Territory Sponsor for a given Global Clinical Trial:

36
​
​

​

(a) the JSC will discuss and determine whether to add any additional countries or regions in the Territory to those countries and regions in the Territory first proposed by Kiniksa in the Global Development Plan as countries in which such Global Clinical Trial will be conducted (the countries in the Territory in which the Global Clinical Trial will be conducted, the “Selected Territory GCT Countries”) and, unless Applicable Law prevents the conduct of such Global Clinical Trial in the PRC, the Selected Territory GCT Countries will include the PRC, 
(b) if the PRC is a Selected Territory GCT Country, then the protocol for such Global Clinical Trial will contemplate the enrollment of a sufficient number of patients in the PRC to support the submission of an MAA for the Licensed Product in the applicable Indication in the PRC, and 
(c) unless otherwise agreed by the JSC, the Global Development Plan will not require Partner to enroll more than [***]% of the total number of patients contemplated in the applicable protocol for such Global Clinical Trial (and nothing set forth herein will require Kiniksa to otherwise increase the total number of patients contemplated in the applicable protocol for such Global Clinical Trial).
Kiniksa will not approach any other Third Party to serve as the Territory Sponsor for any Global Clinical Trial in the Territory without first offering such opportunity to Partner.  The Global Development Plan and each update thereto will include: (i) an outline of all major Development activities for the Licensed Product to be conducted worldwide by Kiniksa, and (ii) for those Global Clinical Trials in which Partner agrees to participate and serve as Territory Sponsor in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, details and estimated timelines of the Clinical Development activities to be conducted in the Selected Territory GCT Countries and assigned to Partner to support Global Clinical Trials or other global Development for the Licensed Product, which activities will, unless otherwise agreed to by Partner, be designed to support the filing of the Marketing Authorization Applications within the Territory for the Licensed Product.  From time to time, Kiniksa may make and implement updates to the then-current Global Development Plan for the Licensed Product, including to contemplate the conduct of the Development of the Licensed Product for a New Development.  Solely to the extent such amendments (A) are material (in cost, time, and scope), and (B) include activities to be conducted by Partner in the Territory, Kiniksa or the JDC (as applicable) will submit such proposed updates to the JSC to review, discuss, and determine whether to approve.
	5.4	New Development by Partner.  Notwithstanding Partner’s final decision-making authority with respect to Development activities for the Licensed Product that are Territory-specific as set forth in Section 3.6.2(b) (Partner Final Decision-Making Authority), if Partner proposes to perform any Clinical Trials for or otherwise Develop (a) a new formulation of the Licensed Product, (b) any new combination regimen or fixed dose combination for the Licensed Product and another agent, or (c) the Licensed Product in a new Indication, in each case ((a), (b), and (c)) that is not already the subject of the Global Development Plan or Territory Development Plan (“New Development”) for the Territory, then Partner will present to the JSC to review, discuss, and determine whether to approve a proposal to add such Development activities for such New Development to the Territory Development Plan for the Licensed Product, including the countries or regions in the Territory in which such activities would be conducted (a “New Development Proposal”).  Each New Development Proposal will describe in reasonable detail the applicable Clinical Trials  that Partner desires to conduct with respect to such New Development, including a synopsis of the trial or 

37
​
​

​

		activities, the proposed enrollment criteria, the number of patients to be included, the endpoints to be measured, and the statistical design and powering (the “New Development Activities”), as well as a proposed timeline and budget and an analysis of the business opportunity and revenue potential anticipated to result from such New Development Activities.  The JSC will review, discuss, and determine whether to approve a New Development Proposal within [***] days after receipt thereof from Partner.  Upon such an approval, (a) the New Development Activities set forth in such New Development Proposal will be “New Territory-Specific Development Activities” for purposes of this Agreement, and (b) the JDC will update the Territory Development Plan for the Licensed Product to include such New Territory-Specific Development Activities for those countries or regions in the Territory agreed by the JSC, including the proposed timelines, in each case, for such New Development Activities set forth in such New Development Proposal (as may be amended by the JSC upon such approval).  Any New Territory-Specific Development Activities included in a Territory Development Plan pursuant to this 5.4 (New Development by Partner) will be Development activities for all purposes under this Agreement. 

	5.5	New Development by Kiniksa.  If Kiniksa proposes any Global Clinical Trials for the Licensed Product for any New Development, then: 

		5.5.1	Right to Develop. Subject to the terms of Section 5.3 (Global Development Plan), if Partner (either itself or through its Affiliate) does not elect to serve as the Territory Sponsor or regulatory agent for any such Global Clinical Trials for such New Development in all countries or regions in the Territory in which Kiniksa proposes to perform such Global Clinical Trials pursuant to Section 5.3(a) (Global Development Plan), then: 

		(a)	Partner will not be obligated to implement such Global Clinical Trials in any such country or region in the Territory or perform any activities in connection therewith, and

		(b)	notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including the terms of Section 2.1 (License Grants to Partner)), unless Partner subsequently elects to (and does) reimburse Kiniksa for the costs and expenses of such Global Clinical Trials for the Licensed Product in accordance with Section 5.5.3(b) (Reimbursement at a Premium), Partner will not have any rights with respect to any data or results generated in such Global Clinical Trials for such New Development, including pursuant to Section 5.11 (Data Exchange and Use) or Section 6.5 (Right of Reference) except as necessary for Partner to comply with Applicable Law or safety reporting requirements to applicable Regulatory Authorities in the Territory, and (c) Kiniksa will have the right to conduct such Global Clinical Trials for the Licensed Product for such New Development globally (including in the Territory), at Kiniksa’s cost and expense.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if Partner agrees to act as Territory Sponsor or regulatory agent throughout the Selected Territory GCT Countries for a given Global Clinical Trial, but is prevented by Applicable Law from participating in such Global Clinical Trial for such New Development in the PRC and instead conducts a Pivotal Clinical Trial within the PRC with respect to such New Development for the submission of a MAA for the PRC with respect to such New Development, then (i) the foregoing restriction on access to data or results generated in such Global Clinical Trials for such New Development, including pursuant to Section 5.11 (Data Exchange and Use), and (ii) the obligation to reimburse a percentage of the costs and expenses of

Concurrent with the delivery of the applicable Royalty Report, but in any event within [***] days after each Calendar Quarter, Partner will pay such the amount of the Royalty Payments set forth in the applicable Royalty Report to Kiniksa in Dollars.  If requested by Kiniksa, the Parties will seek to resolve any questions or issues related to a Royalty Report within [***] days following receipt by Kiniksa of each Royalty Report.

	10.5	Other Amounts Payable.  With respect to any amounts owed under this Agreement by one Party to the other for which no other invoicing and payment procedure is specified hereunder, within [***] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, each Party will provide an invoice, together with reasonable supporting documentation, to the other Party for such amounts owed in respect of such Calendar Quarter.  The owing Party will pay any undisputed amounts within [***] days after the receipt of the invoice, and any disputed amounts owed by a Party will be paid within [***] days after resolution of the dispute.

Conversion of Net Sales recorded in local currencies will be converted to Dollars at the exchange rate set forth in Bloomberg or any successor thereto for the last day of the Calendar Quarter in which the applicable payment obligation became due and payable.

	10.9	Blocked Payments.  If by reason of Applicable Law in any country or region, it becomes impossible or illegal for a Party to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, payments owed the other Party hereunder, then such Party will promptly notify the other Party of the conditions preventing such transfer and such payments will be deposited in local currency in the relevant country or region to the credit of the other Party in a recognized banking institution designated by the other Party or, if none is designated by the other Party within a period of [***] days, in a recognized banking institution selected by the transferring Party, as the case may be, and identified in a written notice given to the other Party.  Payments that are blocked as set forth in, but otherwise made in accordance with the terms of, this Section 10.9 (Blocked Payments) will not be deemed a late payment subject to Section 10.10 (Late Payments) and will not be subject to the accrual of interest specified thereunder for so long as such payments are blocked.

	10.10	Late Payments.  Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder that are not paid on the date such payments are due under this Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: (a) [***] percentage points above the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal or any successor thereto on the first day of each Calendar Quarter in which such payments are overdue; or (b) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law; in each case, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent, compounded monthly.

​

​

		Royalty Payments and other amounts payable under this Agreement.  Upon at least [***] days’ prior written notice, such records will be open during regular business hours for a period of [***] years  (or such longer period as may be required under any applicable statute of limitations for applicable Taxes or by Applicable Law) from the creation of individual records for examination by an independent “Big Four” (or equivalent) accounting firm selected by the examining Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party or its designee for the sole purpose of verifying for the examining Party the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the other Party (the “Examined Party”) pursuant to this Agreement or of any payments made, or required to be made, by such Examined Party pursuant to this Agreement; provided that such independent accounting firm is subject to written obligations of confidentiality and non-use applicable to each Party’s Confidential Information that are at least as stringent as those set forth in Article 11 (Confidentiality; Publication).  Such audit will not be (a) performed more frequently than once per [***] during the Term or once during the [***] year period after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, (b) conducted for any Calendar Year more than [***] years after the end of such year, or (c) repeated for any Calendar Year or with respect to the same set of records (unless a material discrepancy with respect to such records is discovered during a prior audit).  Such auditor will not disclose the Examined Party’s Confidential Information to the examining Party or to any Third Party, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the Examined Party or the amount of payments by the Examined Party under this Agreement.  The Examined Party will pay any amounts shown to be owed to the examining Party but unpaid within [***] days after the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 10.10 (Late Payments)) from the original due date.  The examining Party will bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an underpayment by the Examined Party of more than [***]% of the amount actually due for the time period being audited, in which case the Examined Party will reimburse the examining Party for the reasonable audit fees for such examination. To the extent that an audit hereunder reveals an overpayment by the Examined Party to the examining Party, the Examined Party may credit such overpayment against amounts due to the examining Party under this Agreement. 

	10.12	Taxes.

		10.12.1	Taxes on Income; Payments Free of Taxes.  Except as set forth in this Section 10.12 (Taxes) or Section 10.13 (VAT Credits), each Party will be solely responsible for the payment of any and all income Taxes levied on account of all payments it receives under this Agreement.  Any and all payments due to Kiniksa from Partner pursuant to this Agreement will be paid without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then Partner (or its applicable withholding agent) will be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and Partner will increase the amount of such payment due to Kiniksa under this Agreement upon which such Tax is due as may be necessary so that the net amount Kiniksa receives after making any payments in respect of any such Tax is an amount equal to the sum that it would have received had (i) no such deduction or withholding been required to be made on such amount and (ii) no other Taxes been imposed on any additional amounts payable to Kiniksa. Each Royalty Report will show the amounts of Taxes due and paid by Partner with respect to payments made by Partner to Kiniksa during such Calendar Quarter. The amount of the invoice provided by Kiniksa to Partner must include the withholding income tax amount paid by Partner and the amount actually received by Kiniksa, even if Kiniksa only receives the net amount payable in accordance with this Agreement.

​

		10.12.2	Tax Cooperation.  The Parties agree to cooperate with one another in accordance with Applicable Law and use reasonable efforts to minimize Tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of royalties, milestone payments, and other payments made by each Party to the other Party under this Agreement.  To the extent either Party (the “Paying Party”) is required to deduct and withhold Taxes on any payment to the other Party (the “Recipient”), the Paying Party will (a) pay the full amount of such Taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner, and (b) promptly transmit to the Recipient an official tax certificate or other evidence of such payment sufficient to enable the Recipient to claim such payment of Taxes on the Recipient’s applicable tax returns.  The Paying Party will provide the Recipient with advance notice prior to withholding any Taxes from payments payable to the Recipient and will provide the Recipient with a commercially reasonable period of time to claim an exemption or reduction in otherwise applicable Taxes.  The Recipient will provide the Paying Party any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for the Paying Party to not withhold Tax or to withhold Tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty, to the extent the Paying Party is legally able to do so.  The Recipient will use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to the Paying Party in advance of the due date.  Each Party will provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Law, of withholding Taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Paying Party if the Paying Party is the Party bearing such withholding Tax under this Section 10.12 (Taxes).  To the extent that Kiniksa recovers any Taxes withheld by Partner or receives Tax credits that would otherwise have reduced the amount by which Partner had to increase the payment to Kiniksa under Section 10.12.1 (Taxes on Income; Payments Free of Taxes) if such withholding recovery or receipt of Tax credit been realized at the time of payment to Kiniksa, then Partner will receive a credit for such amount, which credit Partner may set off against future payments of amounts due to Kiniksa hereunder.  In addition, the Parties will cooperate in accordance with Applicable Law to minimize indirect Taxes (such as VAT, sales tax, consumption tax, and other similar Taxes) in connection with this Agreement.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Section 10.12 (Taxes) and Section 10.13 (VAT Credits), Section 10.13 (VAT Credits) will take precedence.

		10.12.3	Changes in Domicile.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Paying Party assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of some or all of its rights and obligations to any Person and if, as a result of such action, the withholding or deduction of Tax required by Applicable Law with respect to payments under this Agreement is increased, then any amount payable to the Recipient under this Agreement will be increased to take into account such withheld Taxes as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings (including withholdings on the withheld amounts), the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding been made.

		10.12.4	Returns.  All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, and other such Taxes, and any conveyance fees, recording charges, and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, if any, will be borne and paid by the Paying Party.  The Paying Party will prepare and timely file all tax returns required to be filed in respect of any such Taxes.  The Parties will reasonably cooperate in accordance with Applicable Law to minimize transfer Taxes in connection with this Agreement.

​

	10.13	VAT Credits.  All payments due to Kiniksa from Partner pursuant to this Agreement will be paid without any deduction for any VAT that Partner may be required to collect or pay to any tax authorities in the Territory.  Kiniksa will use reasonable efforts to assist Partner to minimize and obtain all available exemptions from such VAT, but if applicable, Partner will pay any such VAT to the proper taxing authorities upon receipt of a valid VAT invoice (where such invoice is required under local VAT laws).  If Partner is required to pay or Kiniksa is required to report or pay any such VAT, then Partner will increase the amount of any and all payments under this Agreement upon which such VAT is due as may be necessary so that the net amount Kiniksa receives after making any payments in respect of any such VAT is an amount equal to the sum that it would have received had (i) no such VAT been required to be paid on such amount and (ii) no other Taxes been imposed on any additional amounts payable to Kiniksa.  Partner will promptly provide to Kiniksa applicable receipts evidencing payment of such VAT and other documentation reasonably requested by Kiniksa. To the extent that Kiniksa recovers any VAT paid in connection with any payment made by Partner hereunder, then Partner will receive a credit for such refunded or recovered VAT amount, which credit Partner may set off against future payments of amounts due to Kiniksa hereunder.

		11.4.1	Permitted Circumstances.

64
​
​

​

			Agreement to be made in connection with any such disclosure and Partner will not disclose or provide any other redacted version hereof, unless such version has been approved in writing by Kiniksa, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Subject to the foregoing, but notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if a Party is required or permitted to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 11.4.1 (Permitted Circumstances), then it will, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law or judicial or administrative process, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such proposed disclosure and use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information and will only disclose that portion of Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed as advised by its legal counsel.

Partner acknowledges that Kiniksa or its Affiliate may decide to develop and adopt certain distinctive colors, logos, images, symbols, and trademarks to be used in connection with the Commercialization of the Licensed Product on a global basis (such branding elements, collectively, the “Global Brand Elements”).

		14.9.2	Product Marks in the Territory.  Partner will have the right to brand the Licensed Product in the Territory using trademarks, logos, and trade names that it determines appropriate for the Licensed Product, including, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Existing Product Trademarks, which may vary by region or within a country or region in the Territory, and that are consistent with Kiniksa’s Global Brand Elements (such marks, including the Existing Product Trademarks, the “Product Marks”); provided, however, that Partner will provide Kiniksa with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments on each proposed Product Mark, and Partner will consider and incorporate Kiniksa’s reasonable comments before selecting any Product Mark.

TERM AND TERMINATION
	15.1	Term.  This Agreement will be effective as of the Effective Date and, if not otherwise terminated earlier pursuant to this Article 15 (Term and Termination), will continue, as applicable, on country-by-country or region-by-region basis, until the expiration of the Royalty Term in such country or region (the “Term”); provided, however, that Partner will be obligated to pay to Kiniksa any Milestone Payment achieved during the [***] year period after the expiration of the Term.  As applicable, on a country-by-country or region-by-region basis, upon the natural expiration of this Agreement as contemplated in this Section 15.1 (Term) (but not termination), (a) so long as Partner (i) is not at such time in material breach of any obligation under this Agreement based on receipt on or prior to such date of written notification from Kiniksa as required under Section 15.2.2 (Termination for Material Breach) or (ii) if Partner is so in material breach of any obligation under this Agreement, then only if such breach is timely cured in accordance with Section 15.2.2 (Termination for Material Breach) prior to the expiration of the Agreement, the license granted to Partner under Section 2.1.1 (License Grants to Partner; In the Territory) will become fully paid-up, perpetual, and exclusive for a period of [***] years after the effective date of expiration of this 

84
​
​

​

		Agreement and non-exclusive thereafter; and (b) the license granted to Kiniksa under Section 2.3 (License Grant to Kiniksa) will become fully paid-up, perpetual, and irrevocable. 

	15.2	Termination. 

		15.2.1	Termination by Partner for Convenience.  Partner may terminate this Agreement in its entirety by providing a written notice of termination to Kiniksa that includes an effective date of termination of at least [***] months after the date of such notice.  

		15.2.2	Termination for Material Breach.  If either Party believes that the other is in material breach of any of its obligations hereunder, then the non-breaching Party may deliver notice of such breach to the other Party stating the cause and proposed remedy (“Breach Notification”).  For any breach arising from a failure to make a payment set forth in this Agreement, the allegedly breaching Party will have [***] Business Days from the receipt of the applicable Breach Notice to dispute or cure such breach.  For all breaches other than a failure to make a payment as set forth in this Agreement, the allegedly breaching Party will have [***] days from the date of the Breach Notification to dispute or cure such breach. If the Party receiving notice of breach fails to cure, or fails to dispute, that breach within the applicable period set forth above, then the Party originally delivering the Breach Notification may terminate this Agreement effective on written notice of termination to the other Party.  The Parties stipulate and agree that a breach of (a) a Party’s obligations set forth under (i) the second sentence of Section 2.5 (Restrictions), or (ii) Section 2.8 (Exclusivity Covenant), or (b) Partner’s payment obligations set forth under Article 10 (Payments), in each case ((a) – (b)), will each be considered a material breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for purposes of this Section 15.2.2 (Termination for Material Breach). 

		15.2.3	Termination for Patent Challenge.  Except to the extent unenforceable under Applicable Law, Kiniksa may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination to Partner if Partner or its Affiliates or Sublicensees (individually or in association with any Person) contests or assists a Third Party in contesting the scope, validity, or enforceability of any Kiniksa Patent Right or any foreign counterpart thereof anywhere in the world in any court, tribunal, arbitration proceeding, or other proceeding, including the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. International Trade Commission (a “Patent Challenge”).  In the event of such a Patent Challenge, Kiniksa will provide prompt written notice of such Patent Challenge to Partner, and Kiniksa may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to Partner.  If Kiniksa reasonably believes that termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 15.2.3 (Termination for Patent Challenge) is not an available remedy under Applicable Law, then in lieu of such termination, Kiniksa may instead increase the amount of all yet unpaid (as of the date of such election) Milestone Payments and Royalty Payments payable under this Agreement by [***]% by providing written notice of such election to Partner.  If Kiniksa elects the foregoing [***]% increase in the Milestone Payments and Royalty Payments as liquidated damages, then such increase would be Kiniksa’s sole and exclusive remedy for such Patent Challenge. The Parties hereby stipulate and agree that the damages that Kiniksa would suffer as a result of such a Patent Challenge would be uncertain in amount and difficult to prove, and therefore the foregoing [***]% increase in Milestone Payments and Royalty Payments is a reasonable liquidated damages remedy and not a penalty. As used herein, a Patent Challenge includes: (a) filing an action under 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201-2202 seeking a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such Patent Right; (b) citation to the

		15.3.1	Partial Termination.  In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 15.2.4 (Termination in [***]) with respect to only certain countries or regions in the Territory, then Section 15.3 (Effects of Termination), Section 15.4 (Survival), and Section 15.5 (Cumulative Remedies; Termination Not Sole Remedy) will apply solely with respect to the terminated countries or regions, and all other rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect.

		15.3.7	Transfer of Prosecution and Maintenance Responsibilities.  Partner will transfer to Kiniksa any and all responsibilities for Patent Prosecution for the Kiniksa Patent Rights, including transferring all files related to the Patent Prosecution of such Kiniksa Patent Rights, and at the request of Kiniksa, Partner will make appropriate personnel available to Partner to answer such reasonable questions as Kiniksa may have in connection with such transfer of Patent Prosecution of such Patent Rights.

The Parties agree the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that is ongoing as of the Effective Date may be invoked as a Force Majeure for the purposes of this Agreement even though the pandemic is ongoing to the extent those effects are not reasonably foreseeable by the Parties as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party will not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a Force Majeure affecting such Party. The affected Party will notify the other Party in writing of any Force Majeure circumstances that may affect its performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practical, will provide a good faith estimate of the period for which its failure or delay in performance under the Agreement is expected to continue based on currently available information, and will undertake reasonable efforts necessary to mitigate and overcome such Force Majeure circumstances and resume normal performance of its obligations hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.  Throughout the duration of the Force Majeure event, the affected Party will update such notice to the other Party on a bi-weekly basis, or more frequently if requested by the other Party, to provide updated summaries of its mitigation efforts and its estimates of when normal performance under the Agreement will be able to resume. In any event, if a Party’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement as a result of a Force Majeure event continues for longer than [***] days, then the other Party may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the Party affected by the Force Majeure event.

(Huadong Medicine), today announced a strategic collaboration to develop and commercialize Kiniksa’s ARCALYST® and mavrilimumab in the Asia Pacific Region. 
“This collaboration aims to bring Kiniksa’s therapeutics to patients in the Asia Pacific Region suffering from severe autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. With extensive regional experience, proven development and regulatory execution, and deep relationships with a broad network of hospitals and clinics, Huadong Medicine is an ideal partner to help drive value,” said Sanj K. Patel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kiniksa. “The collaboration also provides non-dilutive capital, cost-sharing, and resources for clinical trials to accelerate our drug development and commercialization efforts.”
“Kiniksa is an emerging leader in the development of immune-modulating therapies, for which there is significant unmet need across the Asia Pacific Region,” said Liang Lv, Chairman and CEO of Huadong Medicine. “In addition to ARCALYST, the first and only FDA-approved treatment for recurrent pericarditis, the compelling clinical data generated to-date for mavrilimumab provide foundational support for development
