action alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any Verastem Patents and Licensee Patents (collectively “Product Infringement”). For clarity, Product Infringement excludes any adversarial Patent Prosecution proceedings.

(b) Enforcement Right.

(i) Verastem shall have the first right, in its sole discretion, to bring and control any legal action to enforce Verastem Patents against any Product Infringement in the Territory at its own expense as it determines appropriate, provided that Verastem notifies Licensee of any such legal action reasonably in advance, and reasonably considers Licensee’s comments with respect thereto. In the event Verastem is unable or unwilling to bring or control such legal action against such Product Infringement in the Territory within [* * *] after the date of notice of such Patent Infringement, Licensee, subject to any applicable restrictions under the Upstream License Agreements, shall have the right, but not the obligation to, take any legal action, at Licensee’s own cost and expense, as Licensee deems appropriate to prevent or enjoin such Product Infringement in the Territory.

(ii) Licensee shall have the first right to bring and control any legal action to enforce Licensee Patents against any Product Infringement in the Territory at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate, and in the event Licensee is unable or unwilling to bring or control the legal action against such Product Infringement in the Territory within [* * *] after the date of notice of such Patent Infringement, Verastem may, but not be obligated to, take any legal action, at Verastem’s own expense, as Verastem deems appropriate to prevent or enjoin such Product Infringement in the Territory.

11.4 Infringement of Third Party Rights.

(a) Notice. If any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product used or sold by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees in the Territory becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent Right or other rights in the Territory that are owned or controlled by such Third Party, then the Party becoming aware of such claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party within [* * *] days after receipt of such claim or assertion and such notice shall include a copy of any summons or complaint (or the equivalent thereof) received regarding the foregoing. Thereafter, the Parties shall promptly meet to consider the claim or

Licensee shall keep Verastem informed on the status of such defense action, and Verastem shall, at its own expense, (i) provide reasonable support to Licensee upon Licensee’s reasonable request; and (ii) have the right, but not the obligation, to participate or be separately represented in such defense action at its sole option.

11.5 Patents Licensed From Third Parties.

Licensee acknowledges and agrees that no ownership rights are vested or created by the trademark license granted pursuant to Section ‎2.1, and that all goodwill developed by virtue of the use of the Licensed Trademarks in accordance with this Section ‎11.6(c)(i) inures to the benefit of Verastem. Upon Verastem’s request, Licensee shall submit to Verastem representative samples of materials bearing the License Trademarks for Verastem’s review.

Joint Press Release

Verastem Oncology and Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd. Sign Exclusive License Agreement for the Development and Commercialization of Duvelisib in Japan

̶ Verastem to Receive Upfront Payment of $10 Million USD,Then Eligible to Receive Up To $90 Million USD in Future Milestones, Plus Royalties ̶

̶ Yakult Obtains Rights to First-in-class Oral Dual Inhibitor of Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K-gamma (PI3K-δ,γ), Duvelisib for Oncology Indications in Japan ̶

BOSTON, MA, USA and TOKYO, JAPAN – May [XX], 2018 – Verastem, Inc. (President and CEO: Robert Forrester, NASDAQ: VSTM) and Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd. (President: Takashige Negishi, Tokyo: 2267), today announced their entry into an exclusive licensing agreement for Yakult to develop and commercialize Verastem’s duvelisib, a first-in-class oral dual inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K-gamma, for the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of all oncology indications in Japan. Verastem’s New Drug Application (NDA) for duvelisib is currently under review with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is seeking full approval for the treatment of relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) and accelerated approval for the treatment of relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL). On April 9, 2018, Verastem announced that the FDA had accepted the NDA for filing with Priority Review.

Under the terms of the agreement, Verastem will receive a one-time upfront payment of $10 million from Yakult. Verastem is eligible to receive up to an additional $90 million if certain future pre-specified development and commercialization milestones are successfully achieved by Yakult, plus double-digit royalties based on future net sales of duvelisib in Japan. In exchange, Yakult will receive exclusive rights to develop and commercialize duvelisib in Japan, at its own cost and expense. Yakult will also fund certain global development costs on a pro-rata basis. Verastem will retain all rights to duvelisib outside of Japan.

“In Japan, current therapies to treat CLL/SLL and FL are extremely limited and duvelisib has robust clinical data supporting its efficacy and safety in both indications, which we can build upon,” said Masanori Ito, Head of Pharmaceutical Business Division/Managing Executive Officer, Member of the Board of Yakult. “We are eager to collaborate with Verastem to develop duvelisib in these initial hematologic malignancies, and then plan to later expand development to include the additional indications of PTCL and DLBCL. We believe this collaboration underscores our commitment to innovation, growing our oncology franchise, and commercializing medicines that positively impact the lives of patients in Japan.”

“Following extensive due diligence, we have chosen Yakult as our duvelisib development and commercialization partner in Japan,” said Robert Forrester, President and Chief Executive Officer of Verastem. “Yakult is an established oncology leader in Japan that successfully markets several branded anti-cancer therapies, including Elplat® and Campto®. This agreement is an important, validating

achievement for both duvelisib and Verastem Oncology and speaks to the significant global potential of this novel therapeutic for a broad range of hematologic malignancies. We look forward to working with the world-class development, regulatory and commercial teams at Yakult as they advance oral duvelisib toward commercialization in Japan.”

About Duvelisib

Duvelisib is a first-in-class investigational oral, dual inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K-gamma, two enzymes known to help support the growth and survival of malignant B-cells and T-cells. PI3K signaling may lead to the proliferation of malignant B- and T-cells and is thought to play a role in the formation and maintenance of the supportive tumor microenvironment.1,2,3 Duvelisib was evaluated in late- and mid-stage extension trials, including DUO™, a randomized, Phase 3 monotherapy study in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL),4 and DYNAMO™, a single-arm, Phase 2 monotherapy study in patients with refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL).5 Both DUO and DYNAMO achieved their primary endpoints. Verastem Oncology’s New Drug Application (NDA) requesting the full approval of duvelisib for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL, and accelerated approval for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) was accepted for filing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), granted Priority Review and assigned a target action date of October 5, 2018. Duvelisib is also being developed by Verastem Oncology for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), and is being investigated in combination with other agents through investigator-sponsored studies.6 Information about duvelisib clinical trials can be found on www.clinicaltrials.gov.
