(ii)    The milestone payments set forth in Section 7.2(a)(i) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) shall be payable only once, upon the first achievement of the applicable milestone event by any Licensed Product containing SAL200, even if the same milestone event is later achieved by another Licensed Product. If a Combination Product containing SAL200 is the first Licensed Product to achieve a SAL200 Milestone Event then the corresponding milestone payment under Section 7.2(a)(i) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) will be due for such Combination Product, but no additional payment under Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) shall be due for the use of any other Licensed Endolysins in such Combination Product. For clarity,

if a New Endolysin Milestone Event is achieved by a Licensed Product containing an Initial Endolysin other than SAL200 and the corresponding milestone payment made under 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) and a SAL200 Milestone Event corresponding to such New Endolysin Milestone Event is subsequently achieved by a Licensed Product containing SAL200, then Lysovant will only have to pay to iNtRON the amount that equals the milestone payment due for achievement of such SAL200 Milestone Event under Section 7.2(a)(i) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) minus the milestone payment previously paid for the achievement of such New Endolysin Milestone Event, if the amount due for the achievement of the SAL200 Milestone Event is higher than the amount paid for the achievement of the New Endolysin Milestone Event.

  SAL200 or a Combination Product containing SAL200, then only the payment set forth under Section 7.2(a)(i) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) shall be due for such Combination Product and no additional payment set forth under Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) will be due even if one or more of the different Licensed Endolysins in such Combination Product has not previously achieved a New Endolysin Milestone Event.

 

  (C)

If a SAL200 Milestone Event [***] is achieved and the milestone payment for [***] has not then been paid, then the payment for the [***] milestone event will be due at the same time as the payment for the [***] milestone event.

  (D)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the maximum amount payable by Lysovant under Section 7.2(a)(i) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) is forty-two million five hundred thousand US Dollars ($42,500,000).

CONFIDENTIAL    EXECUTION VERSION

Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by [***], has been omitted because Roivant Sciences Ltd. (the “Company”) has determined that the information (i) is not material and (ii) would likely cause competitive harm to the Company if publicly disclosed.

 

(iv)    The milestone payments set forth in Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) shall be payable only once for all New Licensed Products containing a New Licensed Endolysin upon the first achievement of the applicable milestone event by any Licensed Product containing the New Licensed Endolysin (including the New Endolysin corresponding to such New Licensed Endolysin and any other endolysins included in the definition of New Licensed Endolysin corresponding to such New Endolysin) even if the same milestone event is later achieved by another Licensed Product containing the New Licensed Endolysin (including the New Endolysin corresponding to such New Licensed Endolysin and any other endolysins included in the definition of New Licensed Endolysin corresponding to such New Endolysin). The milestone payments set forth in Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) shall be payable only once for all Licensed Products containing an Initial Endolysin other than SAL200 upon the first achievement of the applicable milestone event by any Licensed Product containing any Initial Endolysin other than SAL200 even if the same milestone event is later achieved by another Licensed Product containing an Initial Endolysin other than SAL200, provided that no milestone payments set forth in Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) shall be due if a corresponding SAL200 Milestone Event has previously been achieved by an Initial Licensed Product. If a Combination Product achieves a New Endolysin Milestone Event, only one payment under Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) shall be due for such Combination Product and no payment shall be due for the use of any additional Licensed Endolysins in-the Combination Product. For the avoidance of doubt, if a milestone payment under Section 2.1 (a)(i) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) or Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) has been made for a specific milestone event for every Licensed Endolysin in a Combination Product, no milestone payment under Section 7.2(a)(i) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) or Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) will be due for achievement of such milestone event by such Combination Product. For clarity,

 

  (A)

if a SAL200 Milestone Event is achieved by any Initial Licensed Product or Combination Product containing SAL200 and the corresponding milestone payment paid under Section 7.2(a)(i) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments), and a New Endolysin Milestone Event corresponding to the SAL200 Milestone Event is subsequently achieved by an Initial Licensed Product containing an Initial Endolysin other than SAL200; or a Combination Product containing an Initial Endolysin other than SAL200, no milestone payment under Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) will be due for the use of such Initial Endolysin in such Initial Licensed Product or Combination Product.

 

  (B)

if a New Endolysin Milestone Event is achieved by any Initial Licensed Product containing an Initial Endolysin other than SAL200 or a Combination Product containing an Initial Endolysin other than SAL200 and the corresponding

  (C)

If a SAL200 Milestone Event has not been achieved by any Licensed Product containing SAL200 and a Combination Product containing an Initial Endolysin other than SAL200 is the first Licensed Product containing an Initial Endolysin other than SAL200 to achieve a New Endolysin Milestone Event then the corresponding milestone payment under Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) will be due for such Combination Product, but no additional payment under Section 7.2(a)(iii) (Development and Regulatory Milestone Payments) shall be due for the use of any other Licensed Endolysins in such Combination Product.

For purposes of determining whether a Net Sales milestone event has been achieved, Net Sales of all Licensed Products in the Territory in a given Fiscal Year shall be aggregated. For clarity, in no event will any of the Net Sales milestone payments set forth in Section 7.2(b) (Sales Milestone Payments) be paid more than once. The maximum amount payable by Lysovant under this Section 7.2(b) (Sales Milestone Payments) is nine hundred forty million (U.S. Dollars ($940,000,000).”

(b)    Section 7.3(c)(ii) of the License Agreement (Royalty Adjustment for Lack of Valid Claim) is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(ii)    Royalty Adjustment for Lack of Valid Claim. After the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim of the iNtRON Patents that Cover the manufacture, use, or sale of such Licensed Product (or the Licensed Endolysin therein) in a country in the Territory or if no Valid Claim of the iNtRON Patents exists in a country in the Territory that Cover the manufacture, use, or sale of such Licensed Product (or the Licensed Endolysin therein), the royalties payable under Section 7.3(a) (Royalty Rate) on the sale of such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced [***]. Such royalty reduction will be calculated by determining the portion of total Net Sales of the relevant Licensed Product in a Fiscal Quarter that is attributable to the country in which such reduction applies, and by determining the total royalties for the Territory without reduction, and then reducing by [***] the applicable portion (based on Net Sales) of total royalties attributable to the country in which such reduction applies.”
