 ARTICLE 12

 TERM AND TERMINATION 

12.1    Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated
pursuant to this Article 12, shall remain in effect on a Wugen Product-by-Wugen Product and country-by-country basis, until
the expiration of the Royalty Term of such Wugen Product in such country (the “Term”). Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term for a Wugen Product in a particular country, the licenses granted by HCW to Wugen under Section 2.1
with respect to such Wugen Product and such country shall become fully paid-up, royalty free, perpetual and irrevocable. 

12.2    Unilateral Termination by Wugen. Wugen may terminate this Agreement, on a Licensed Molecule-by-Licensed Molecule basis or in its entirety, for any or no reason upon [***] written notice to HCW. 

  
 35. 

 CONFIDENTIAL 

 

 12.3    Termination by Either Party for Breach. 

(a)    Breach. Subject to Section 12.3(b), each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement and, after receiving written notice from the non- breaching Party identifying such material
breach in reasonable detail, fails to cure such material breach within [***] from the date of such notice; provided that if such breach is not reasonably capable of cure within such [***] period, the breaching Party may submit a reasonable cure plan
prior to the end of such [***] period, in which case the other Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement for so long as the breaching Party is using commercially reasonable efforts to implement such cure plan. 

(b)    Disputed Breach. If the alleged breaching Party disputes in good faith the existence or materiality
of a breach specified in a notice provided by the other Party in accordance with Section 12.3(a), and such alleged breaching Party provides the other Party notice of such dispute within such [***] period, then the
non-breaching Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 12.3(a) unless and until the arbitrators, in accordance with Section 13.2, has determined that the alleged
breaching Party has materially breached the Agreement and that such Party fails to cure such breach within [***] following such arbitrators’ decision. During the pendency of such dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder. In the case of material breach of this Agreement by Wugen, the Parties agree and acknowledge that termination of this Agreement shall be an
extraordinary remedy and available only where the character, frequency, nature and extent of such breach (including the culpability of the Parties) supports termination of this Agreement as an appropriate remedy and that HCW does not have a
reasonable remedy for damages resulting from such material breach. Furthermore, the Parties agree that a breach with respect to a Licensed Molecule shall not itself be deemed to be a breach with respect to other Licensed Molecules, and if a breach
is limited to one or more specific Licensed Molecule(s) only and not to other Licensed Molecules, then termination of this Agreement shall be limited to such Licensed Molecule or Licensed Molecules for which a Party breached its obligations
hereunder. Nothing in this Section 12.2 shall limit a Party’s ability to seek remedies available under this Agreement in law or equity. 

12.4    Termination for Insolvency. If, at any time during the Term, (a) a case is commenced by or
against either Party under Title 11, United States Code, as amended, or analogous provisions of applicable Laws outside the United States (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and, in the event of an involuntary case under the
Bankruptcy Code, such case is not dismissed within [***] after the commencement thereof, (b) either Party files for or is subject to the institution of bankruptcy, liquidation or receivership proceedings (other than a case under the Bankruptcy
Code), (c) either Party assigns all or a substantial portion of its assets for the benefit of creditors, (d) a receiver or custodian is appointed for either Party’s business, or (e) a substantial portion of either Party’s
business is subject to attachment or similar process (each of ((a) through (e)), a “Bankruptcy Event”); then, in any case of ((a) through (e)), the other Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the extent
permitted under applicable Laws; provided that, to the extent required by the Bankruptcy Code, HCW shall only have the right to terminate the Agreement if this Agreement is rejected by Wugen as provided in the Bankruptcy Code. All rights and
licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by each Party to the other Party, as applicable, are and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual
property” as defined under Article 101(35A) 

  
 36. 

 CONFIDENTIAL 

 

 
of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that each Party, as a licensee of such Intellectual Property Rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and
elections under the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the other Party will be
entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any Intellectual Property Rights licensed to such Party and all embodiments of such Intellectual Property Rights, which, if not already in such Party’s possession, to
the extent permitted by applicable Law will be promptly delivered to it (i) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon such Party’s written request therefor, unless the Party in the bankruptcy proceeding elects to continue
to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) if not delivered under clause (i), following the rejection of this Agreement in the bankruptcy proceeding, upon written request therefor by the other Party. The Parties further
agree that, upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Party, each Party shall have the right to retain and enforce their rights under this Agreement. 

12.5    Termination for Patent Challenge. 

(a)    The Parties acknowledge and agree that they are entering the Agreement in lieu of enforcing their respective
patent rights, defenses and remedies concerning the Licensed Patents under relevant laws, including under 35 U.S.C. 100-376 et seq. Each Party further acknowledges that each and every term in the
Agreement, including but not limited to the fees, milestone payments and the royalties set forth in Article 7 herein, reflects the value of avoiding the risk and uncertainty associated with litigating the Licensed Patents and the risk of being
subject to certain rights, defenses and/or remedies. 
 (b)    To the extent permissible under applicable Laws,
HCW shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at HCW’s sole and absolute discretion upon written notice to Wugen, in the event that Wugen, Affiliates, and/or Sublicensees, directly or indirectly, commences a legal action challenging the
validity, enforceability and/or scope of any claim within the Licensed Patents, other than any such challenge in defense of any claims raised by or on behalf of HCW (or any of its Affiliates, (sub)licensees) against Wugen (or any of its Affiliates
or Sublicensees), provided that if any such legal action is by a Sublicensee of Wugen, (a) HCW shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and this Agreement shall not terminate, if Wugen (i) causes such legal action to be
terminated or dismissed or (ii) terminates the applicable Sublicensee’s sublicense to the Licensed Patents that are the subject of such legal action, in each case ((i) and (ii)) within [***] following HCW’s notice of termination, and
(b) if subclause (a) does not apply, HCW may terminate this Agreement only with respect to the country or countries in which such Sublicensee has commenced such a legal action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HCW’s termination right
under this Section 12.5 will not apply to any Affiliate of Wugen that becomes an Affiliate of Wugen after the Effective Date as a result of a Change of Control of such Affiliate, where such Affiliate of Wugen was undertaking such legal action
prior to such Change of Control transaction; provided, however, that Wugen causes such legal action to terminate within [***] after such Change of Control transaction.

 12.6    Effect of Termination. 

(a)    Subject to Section 12.6(b), upon any termination (but not expiration) of this Agreement, with respect
to one or more Licensed Molecules, or in its entirety, all licenses granted to Wugen under this Agreement shall terminate for the applicable terminated Licensed Molecule (or, if this Agreement is terminated in its entirety, for the Territory). The
Parties shall cooperate in good faith to wind down any then-ongoing activities under this Agreement. 

(b)    Upon termination by HCW of this Agreement with respect to one or more Licensed Molecules, or in its
entirety, any existing, permitted sublicense granted by Wugen under this Agreement to any Third Party shall survive; provided that the permitted sublicensee: (i) [***]; and (ii) [***], provided further that HCW shall not be
obligated to assume any obligations under such sublicense that are greater than its obligations contained within this Agreement. 

12.7    Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations of
the Parties under this Agreement that have accrued prior to the date of termination or expiration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the following provisions shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Sections 7.8,

connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), then upon
the request of either Party by written notice, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith a possible resolution thereof, which good faith efforts shall include at least one in-person meeting between

Section 13.10, be shall resolved by binding arbitration administered by the[***], except as modified in this Agreement, which [***] are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The decision rendered in any such arbitration will

material breach as permitted in accordance with Section 12.3. 
 13.7    Confidentiality. The
arbitration proceeding shall be confidential and the arbitrator(s) shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each Party’s Confidential Information. Except as required by law, no Party shall make (or instruct the arbitrator(s) to

Ordering Parties on the other hand (each such entity a “Disclosing party” or a “Receiving party,” as applicable), will treat the Disclosing party’s Confidential Information, including the Disclosing party’s role in any
activities described under a SOW or this Agreement, as proprietary and confidential, and without the Disclosing party’s prior written approval, will not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party except to the Receiving
party’s employees, consultants, advisers, Affiliates and authorized subcontractors to whom it is necessary to disclose the Disclosing party’s Confidential Information for purposes of performing its obligations or exercising its rights
under this Agreement and the applicable SOW provided that such employees, consultants, advisers, Affiliates or authorized subcontractors (as applicable) are subject to a written agreement that includes confidentiality and limited use terms at least
as restrictive as those specified herein, or as otherwise previously agreed in writing by the Disclosing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with COMPANY’s prior review and written approval, EirGenix may publicize statistics regarding its
performance of the Services in a manner that does not identify COMPANY or the specific nature of the Services performed or disclose any Confidential Information, any medium formulations developed pursuant to a SOW or COMPANY Inventions. 

8.2 The Receiving party shall protect the Disclosing party’s Confidential Information by using the same degree of care as such party uses
to protect its own confidential information, but in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care. Any transfer of EirGenix Confidential Information to a Third Party as may be allowed under this Agreement through licenses or other mechanisms
must be under obligations of confidentiality and limited use as stringent as those contained within this Agreement. 
 8.3 Notwithstanding
any other provisions herein, no party, as a Receiving party, shall have liability or obligation to the Disclosing party for, nor be in any way restricted in, its disclosure or use of any of the Disclosing party’s Confidential Information to the
extent the Receiving party can prove by competent evidence that such Confidential Information (a) is, prior to disclosure hereunder, already known to such Receiving party or its Affiliates under no obligation of confidentiality to the
Disclosing party or to any Third Party; (b) is or becomes publicly known by any means whatsoever, through no wrongful act of the Receiving party; (c) is received from a Third Party other than through breach of this Agreement; (d) is
independently developed by or for the Receiving party without use of the Disclosing party’s Confidential Information. The fact that any portion of the Confidential Information may be subject to one or more of the foregoing exceptions shall not
automatically exclude any combination of Confidential Information from protection under this Section 8 unless the entirety of such Confidential Information also falls under the exception(s). 

8.4 In the event the Receiving party is required to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing party pursuant to an enforceable order
of a court or administrative agency, or to a regulatory authority or under other operation of law, it shall not be a breach of this Section 8 to make such disclosure, provided that the Receiving party (a) gives the Disclosing party notice,
to the extent commercially reasonable, of the circumstances of the required disclosure, (b) takes all commercially reasonable steps necessary to assist the Disclosing party in protecting its Confidential Information, and (c) limits
disclosures made under this Section 8.4 to the portion of Confidential Information specifically required to be disclosed, and further provided that disclosures made under this Section 8.4 shall not otherwise exempt the disclosed
Confidential Information from protection under this Section 8.

other governmental or regulatory authority are necessary for a therapeutic product manufactured by COMPANY or an agent or customer of COMPANY which incorporates or uses a Deliverable developed by or for EirGenix, EirGenix will cooperate fully with
