In the event that the Seller Representative shall dispute the Post-Closing Statement, such statement shall include a reasonably detailed itemization of the Seller Representative’s objections and the reasons therefor (such statement, a “Dispute Statement”). Any component of the Post-Closing Statement that is not disputed in a Dispute Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto and not subject to appeal. If the Seller Representative does not deliver a Dispute Statement to Purchaser within the Review Period or delivers a statement accepting the Post-Closing Statement, the Post-Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto and not subject to appeal.

(d) Dispute Resolution. If the Seller Representative delivers a Dispute Statement during the Review Period, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall promptly attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to the disputed items set forth in the Dispute Statement during the [***] immediately following Purchaser’s receipt of the Dispute Statement, or such longer period as Purchaser and the Seller Representative may mutually agree (the “Resolution Period”). Any such disputed items that are resolved by Purchaser and the Seller Representative during the Resolution Period shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and not subject to appeal. If Purchaser and the Seller Representative do not resolve all such disputed items by the end of the Resolution Period, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall submit all items remaining in dispute with respect to the Dispute Statement to a nationally or regionally recognized independent accounting firm upon which Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall reasonably agree (the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution. The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator. The Accounting Firm shall make all calculations in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, shall determine only those items remaining in dispute between Purchaser and the Seller Representative, and shall not be permitted or authorized to assign a dollar amount to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. Each of Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall (i) enter into a customary engagement letter with the Accounting Firm at the time such dispute is submitted to the Accounting Firm and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm, (ii) have the opportunity to submit a written statement in support of their respective positions with respect to such disputed items, to provide supporting material to the Accounting Firm in defense of their respective positions with respect to such disputed items and to submit a written statement responding to the other Party’s position with respect to such disputed items and (iii) subject to customary confidentiality and indemnity agreements, provide the Accounting Firm with access to their respective books, records, personnel and representatives and such other information as the Accounting Firm may require in order to render its determination. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to deliver to Purchaser and the Seller Representative a written determination (such determination to include a worksheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and to be based solely on information provided to the Accounting Firm by Purchaser and the Seller Representative) of the disputed items within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the disputed items, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and not subject to appeal, absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller Representative, on the other hand, based on a percentage equal to (x) the portion of the total amounts disputed not awarded to each such party divided by (y) the total amounts disputed.

(f) Any payment made under Section 2.4(e) (Post-Closing Payments), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Estimated Upfront Payment and the Purchase Price.

2.5 Withholding.

To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental or Regulatory Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, Purchaser shall cause the acquirer to expressly assume Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.2 (Development).

(b) Conditions to Development. Without limiting Purchaser’s obligations under Section 3.2(a) (Efforts with respect to Development and Commercialization of Products), the Company acknowledges that the achievement of any Milestone is uncertain and therefore the payment of any Milestone Payment is therefore uncertain. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, but without limiting Purchaser’s obligations under Section 3.2(a) (Efforts with respect to Development and Commercialization of Products),: (i) the obligations to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts set forth in Section 3.2(a) (Efforts with Respect to Development and Commercialization of Products) above shall not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or guarantee that any Milestone will be achieved; (ii) Purchaser (and its designees) shall, subject to Section 3.2(a) (Efforts with respect to Development and Commercialization of Products), have sole discretion over all matters relating to the Products after the date hereof, including any research, development, manufacturing, commercialization, clinical trial design, site selection, regulatory, quality standards, legal, Intellectual Property, marketing, licensing and sales decisions relating to Products; (iii) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates or Product Transferees owes any fiduciary duty or other express or implied duty to the Company or any of its shareholders, and Purchaser disclaims (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and Product Transferees), and the Company hereby irrevocably waives, any obligations with respect to development, seeking Marketing Approval for, and/or commercialization of the Products, or the achievement of any Milestones, whether arising under applicable Laws or otherwise, except for, in each case, the obligations to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts set forth in Section 3.2(a) (Efforts with respect to Development and Commercialization of Products) above; and (iv) in any event, Purchaser’s obligations under Section 3.2(a) (Efforts with Respect to Development and Commercialization of Products) shall terminate upon [***] and Purchaser, its Affiliates and Product Transferees shall have no further obligations under Section 3.2(a) (Efforts with Respect to Development and Commercialization of Products) from and after such date.

Prior to the Closing the Company shall deliver to Purchaser evidence satisfactory to Purchaser that (i) a stockholder vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and the requisite stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the stockholder vote (the “280G Approval”), or (ii) the 280G Approval was not obtained and, as a consequence, that such “parachute payments” will not be made or provided, pursuant to the waivers of those payments and/or benefits which were executed by the affected individuals prior to seeking the stockholder vote.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from time to time after the execution of this Agreement: (i) each of the Parties hereto shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done promptly, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to take all action necessary to satisfy all of the conditions to the obligations of the other Party or Parties hereto to effect the Transactions as set forth in Section 4.2 (Closing Conditions); (ii) at a Party’s reasonable request, the other Party will execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, and assumption, and provide such materials and information and take such other actions as the other Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to more effectively consummate the Transactions, transfer, convey and assign to Purchaser all of the Shares, and/or to put Purchaser in actual possession and operating control of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and (iii) as soon as practicable following the Closing or from time to time following any written request (including by e-mail) by Purchaser or its Representatives, each Selling Securityholder shall deliver to Purchaser all Business Books and Records and any other tangible embodiments of Know-How included in the Company Intellectual Property in such Selling Securityholder’s possession or control and that is necessary or useful for, or reasonably requested by, Purchaser to conduct the Business after the Closing Date.

(b) Cooperation. If, in order to properly prepare any documents or reports required to be filed with any Governmental or Regulatory Authority or as otherwise necessary or reasonably useful to operate the Business, it is necessary that either Purchaser or the Seller Representative be furnished with additional information, documents or records relating to the Business (including Business Books and Records), and such information, documents or records are in the possession or control of the other Party, such other Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish or make available such information, documents or records (or copies thereof) at the recipient’s reasonable request and at recipient’s cost and expense; provided, further, that the Parties agree that any Party receiving such materials shall be subject to the same obligations of confidentiality described in Section 6.6 (Confidentiality).

6.6 Confidentiality. During the [***] provided, however, that, with respect to any Confidential Information disclosed to any Selling Securityholder or the Seller Representative after the Closing Date, the restrictions contained in this Section 6.6 (Confidentiality) with respect to such Confidential Information shall survive for three (3) years following the date of such disclosure, each Selling Securityholder will not, directly or indirectly, disclose to any third party or use any materials and information relating to the business, assets, or affairs (including any information or materials relating to this Agreement and the Transactions) of the Company and its Subsidiaries or that are otherwise proprietary and non-public information of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Confidential Information”), except to the extent (a) such Confidential Information has become generally available to the public (other than through disclosure in breach of this Agreement or breach of any other duty of confidentiality to the Company and its Subsidiaries), (b) required in order to carry out such Selling Securityholder’s duties as part of his or her employment by the Company, (c) required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable Law; provided that such Selling Securityholder, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly notifies Purchaser in advance of disclosing such required information and provides reasonable assistance (at Purchaser’s expense) in obtaining an appropriate protective order or waiver of compliance; or (d) reasonably necessary to comply with Purchaser’s obligations under Section 3.1(f) (Audits and Reporting). For purposes hereof, Confidential Information does not include any information that

(x) was or becomes available to any Selling Securityholder on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or its Subsidiaries so long as such source was not actually known by such Person to be bound by any agreement to keep such information confidential, or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to such Person by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation, or (y) is independently developed (outside of any role that such Person may have as an employee of or service provider to Purchaser or the Company or its Subsidiaries) by such Person without reference to or use of the Confidential Information.

6.7 Publication. Each Selling Securityholder agrees to submit copies of any abstract or manuscript proposed for written or oral presentation or publication regarding any Product or inventions claimed in the Patents included in the Company Intellectual Property to Purchaser at least thirty (30) days in advance of the submission or presentation. If Purchaser does not, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the manuscript, object in writing, such Selling Securityholder may proceed with the presentation or publication. However, if Purchaser notifies such Selling Securityholder in writing within such period that it has a reasonable belief that such presentation or publication would reveal Purchaser’s own Confidential Information or a patentable invention for which patent applications have not been filed, it will provide a written request to such Selling Securityholder specifically identifying the information giving rise to the belief. Such Selling Securityholder will, as applicable, either remove such Confidential Information or not publish or present the information so identified by Purchaser until such time as a patent application has been filed or the expiration of [***] after the date of submission of the manuscript or abstract to Purchaser, whichever occurs first. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.7 (Publication) shall not be deemed to modify or limit any obligations under any UM License or the UM SRA.

6.8 Publicity. The Selling Securityholders shall not (nor will they permit any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or Affiliates to), directly or indirectly issue any statement or communication to any third party (other than to its agents that are bound by confidentiality restrictions) regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or the Transactions without the consent of Purchaser.

Such Selling Securityholder agrees that the release set forth in this section shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. This release does not extend to (a) any obligations incurred under this Agreement or any Related Agreement, (b) any claims that cannot be released as a matter of law or (c) any rights of any such Releasee to compensation, benefits or reimbursement from the Company or any Subsidiary thereof in connection with services performed prior to the Closing. Such Selling Securityholder, having consulted with counsel, hereby agrees and acknowledges that he or she has read Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. Such Selling Securityholder, having had the opportunity to consult with counsel, hereby agrees and acknowledges that such Section 1542 gives him or her the right not to release existing claims of which he is not now aware, unless he or she voluntarily chooses to waive this right. Having been so apprised, such Selling Securityholder

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.

 

nevertheless hereby voluntarily waives his or her rights described in such Section 1542, and elects to assume all risks for all Released Matters that now exist in his or her favor, known or unknown. Such Selling Securityholder represents that he or she has no lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in his or her name, or on behalf of any other Person, against the Company or any of the other Releasees. Such Selling Securityholder also represents that he or she does not presently intend to bring any claims on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other Person against the Company or any of the other Releasees.

6.11 Resignation of Officers and Directors. The Selling Securityholders shall cause each officer and director of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to execute a Resignation Letter effective as of the Closing.

6.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Cooperation. Each of Purchaser, the Company, the Selling Securityholders, and the Seller Representative agrees to retain and furnish or cause to be furnished to one another, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Company as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns of or with respect to the Company, the making of any election related to Taxes of or with respect to the Company, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any Action relating to any Tax Return of or with respect to the Company provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.12(a) (Cooperation) shall require Purchaser to provide the Selling Securityholders or the Seller Representative with any consolidated, combined, unitary or other Tax Return of Purchaser (or any portion thereof). Purchaser, the Company, and the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Selling Securityholders, shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other Action related to Taxes of or with respect to the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 6.12(a) (Cooperation). In the event any taxing authority informs the Seller Representative or any Selling Securityholders, on the one hand, or Purchaser or the Company, on the other hand, of any notice of proposed audit, claim, assessment or other dispute concerning an amount of Taxes with respect to which the other party may incur Liability hereunder, the party so informed shall promptly notify the other party of such matter; provided, however, that failure to promptly notify shall not reduce the other party’s indemnity, compensation or reimbursement obligations hereunder except to the extent such party’s ability to defend against such matter is actually and materially prejudiced thereby; and provided, further, that resolution of such audit, claim, assessment or other dispute shall be governed by Section 7.7 (Third Party Claim Procedures).

(b) Transfer Taxes. Any Transfer Taxes shall be borne [***]. Except as otherwise required by applicable Laws, the Seller Representative shall, at its own expense, prepare and timely file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and provide Purchaser with a complete and correct copy thereof.

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.

 

(c) Straddle Period. Purchaser shall be a “C corporation” (as defined in Code Section 1361(a)(2)) for purposes of the Code. Purchaser shall cause the Company and each Subsidiary eligible to do so to (i) join Purchaser’s “consolidated group” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1502-1(h)) effective as of the beginning of the date following the Closing Date and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last date of a Tax period of the Company and any eligible Subsidiary (the “Agreed Tax Treatment”). Each Party hereto shall file all Tax Returns consistently with the Agreed Tax Treatment and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or any Subsidiary is liable for Taxes for a taxable period ending after and including the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), then for purposes of determining the Taxes for which the Selling Securityholders are liable under Section 7.1(f) (Indemnification by the Selling Securityholders), such Taxes shall be allocated to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date as follows: (i) with respect to franchise, property or ad valorem Taxes assessed on a periodic basis and not computed by reference to specific transactions, receipts, payments or payroll, the amount allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall equal the amount of such property Taxes for such entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) with respect to all other Taxes, the amount allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an actual closing of the books used to calculate such Taxes as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. In the case of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions computed as if the Closing Date was the last day of the Straddle Period) shall be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period thereafter in proportion to the number of days in each such portion.

(d) Filing Tax Returns Prior to Closing. The Company shall timely prepare and file (or cause to be timely prepared and filed) all unfiled Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company with a due date (taking into account requests for extensions to file such Tax Returns) on or before the Closing and shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) all Taxes shown due thereon. The Company shall notify Purchaser no later than [***] prior to the anticipated filing date of any income Tax Return and all other material Tax Returns required to be filed pursuant to this Section 6.12(d) (Filing Tax Returns Prior to Closing) (and in any event, no later than [***] prior to the due date of such Tax Return) and obtain Purchaser’s consent to such Tax Returns (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to filing them. The Seller Representative shall, as soon as possible after the date hereof and no later than the Reporting Deadline, report to the competent [***] Tax authority by submitting a copy of this Agreement and other relevant documentation required under [***] (the [***]) in the name of the Selling Securityholders (and jointly with Purchaser, if practically feasible) in accordance with the applicable Laws, and provide to Purchaser a copy of any submitted version of the [***] and the acknowledgement receipts in respect of such submission issued by the competent [***] tax authority (“[***]”). Purchaser shall have the right to review and provide input to the application documents and correspondences with the competent [***] Tax authority in connection with the [***] Filing Documents, including but not limited to the purchase price allocation for [***] purposes. The Seller Representative shall obtain Purchaser’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) prior to filing such [***]. In addition, the Seller Representative shall keep Purchaser updated on the preparation and submission of the [***] from time to time, and Purchaser shall have the right to designate a representative to participate in communications with the competent [***] Tax authority in connection with the [***]

[***]. If the Seller Representative fails to complete the [***] by following the abovementioned provisions on or before the Reporting Deadline, Purchaser shall have the right to, after consulting with the Seller Representative, report to the competent [***] Tax authority as required by Law.

(e) Filing Tax Returns After Closing. After the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods (determined consistently with Section 6.12(c) (Straddle Period)) that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing/Straddle Tax Returns”). Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered drafts of all such Pre-Closing/Straddle Tax Returns to the Seller Representative for its review and comment (on behalf of the Selling Securityholders) at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date of such Pre-Closing/Straddle Tax Return (including extensions), and Purchaser shall not file such Tax Returns without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Seller Representative and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding such Tax Returns prior to the due date for filing. In the event that the Seller Representative and Purchaser are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to any such Tax Return at least ten (10) days prior to the due date for filing, such dispute shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm, which resolution shall be binding on the Parties. In the event the Accounting Firm has not resolved the dispute by the due date, such Tax Return shall be timely filed taking into account all resolved items and, with respect to any unresolved items, filed as prepared by Purchaser (so as to prevent the late filing of such Tax Return) and amended to reflect the Accounting Firm’s ultimate resolution of such item. Additionally, subject to the limitations in ARTICLE 7, the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Selling Securityholders, shall, no later than five (5) days prior to the due date of such Pre-Closing/Straddle Tax Returns, pay to Purchaser or the Company or its Subsidiary such amounts shown as due on such Tax Returns, or with respect to the Straddle Period Tax Returns, the portion of such amounts due that are attributable to the period ending on, and including, the Closing Date (as determined consistently with Section 6.12(c) (Straddle Period)), in each case, except to the extent such amounts were included as a liability in Closing Indebtedness or Closing Working Capital and applied to reduce the Purchase Price.

(f) Exclusive Authority to File Tax Returns. Except as provided in Section 6.12(d) (Filing Tax Returns Prior to Closing), Section 6.12(e) (Filing Tax Returns After Closing), or Section 6.12(h) (Amended Tax Returns; Refunds), Purchaser shall have the exclusive authority and obligation to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns of the Company after the Closing; provided, however, that all such Tax Returns filings under Purchaser’s authority shall be made and comply with all of the provisions and requirements of this Section 6.12 (Tax Matters).

(g) Effect on Indemnity Rights of Purchaser. Nothing in this Section 6.12 (Tax Matters) shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the rights of Purchaser under Article 7 (Indemnification) hereof.

(h) Amended Tax Returns; Refunds.

(i) Any amended Tax Return or refund claim relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period of the Company or any Subsidiary that is prepared and filed after the Closing Date may be filed by Purchaser only after giving the Seller Representative a reasonable opportunity to review and consent to such amended Tax Return or refund claim, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that if such amended Tax Return or refund claim could reasonably be expected to increase the Tax liability of a Selling Securityholder (including any indemnification obligation with respect to Taxes pursuant to Section 7.1(f) (Indemnification by the Selling Securityholders)), it will be reasonable for the Seller Representative to withhold consent from any such amendment or claim proposed by or on behalf of Purchaser, to the extent that the Tax Return filings of the Company or any Subsidiary, in the absence of filing such amended Tax Return or refund claim, would be in accordance with applicable Law.

(ii) Except to the extent reflected as an asset in Closing Working Capital, any refund of Taxes of the Company or its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or for any Straddle Period (including overpayments of Taxes for such Tax Periods that the recipient chooses to offset against a Post-Closing Tax Period liability), to the extent allocable to the portion of such Tax Period ending on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.12(c) (Straddle Period), that is actually received within [***] after the Closing Date will be for the benefit of the Selling Securityholders, but only to the extent that such refund is not attributable to, and does not result from, a carryback or other use of any item of loss, deduction, credit or other similar item arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period or, in the case of a refund for a Straddle Period, the use of any such item arising in the portion of such Straddle Period that begins after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the amount of such refund to which the Selling Securityholders are entitled pursuant to this Section 6.12(h) (Amended Tax Returns; Refunds) shall be reduced by any reasonable third-party, direct out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser, the Company or its Subsidiaries in obtaining such refund. Any refunds of the Company or its Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period, to the extent allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.12(c) (Straddle Period), or for any taxable period beginning and ending after the Closing Date, will be for the benefit of Purchaser.

(iii) Purchaser will promptly pay over to the Seller Representative the amount of all refunds received by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing) to which the Selling Securityholders are entitled under this Section 6.12(h) (Amended Tax Returns; Refunds) (including all interest actually received with respect thereto); provided, however, that if a taxing authority subsequently disallows the refund that gave rise to such payment, the Selling Securityholders will promptly repay such amount to Purchaser.

(i) Reporting Certain Milestone Payments. Provided that Purchaser’s intended income Tax treatment of the Excess Amount described in a notice delivered to the Seller Representative pursuant to Section 3.1(b) (Notice and Payment of Milestone Payments) is based on Purchaser’s reasonable interpretation of the applicable Tax Law at the time such notice is delivered, [***] shall, for such Tax purposes, (i) report in accordance with Purchaser’s income Tax treatment any payments [***] receives pursuant to a Milestone in Section 3.1(a)(iii) (Milestones for [***]) in excess of the amount equal to the product of (A) [***] Percentage Interest and (B) the aggregate payments made to all Selling Securityholders pursuant to such Milestone (the “Excess Amount”), and (ii) pay timely all Taxes on such amounts in accordance with Purchaser’s income Tax treatment of the Excess Amount, in each case, unless (A) otherwise required pursuant to a final “determination” (within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a)) or

comparable resolution under provisions of applicable state or local Tax Laws, or (B) [***] or the Seller Representative furnishes an opinion from a nationally recognized law or accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that provides for an alternative Tax treatment of the Excess Amount at a “more likely than not” level of comfort or higher, which opinion shall be submitted along with the invoice for the Milestone Payment associated with such Excess Amount. If [***] or the Seller Representative furnishes an opinion in accordance with the preceding sentence, [***] and Purchaser shall treat the Excess Amount for Tax purposes in accordance with such opinion, except as otherwise required by a final “determination” (within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a)) or comparable resolution under provisions of applicable state or local Tax Laws.

6.13 Termination of Discussions and Non-Solicitation.

(a) From and after the execution and delivery of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the Closing and the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1 (Termination), the Company, and each of its Subsidiaries shall not, shall cause each of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors (including financial and legal advisors, accountants and consultants) and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, and shall not authorize, instruct or direct any of their respective equity holders to, (i) solicit, respond to, initiate or take any action to facilitate or knowingly encourage any inquiry or the submission of any indication of interest, proposal or offer from any person or entity (other than Purchaser or its Representatives) with respect to any license from, sale or disposition by, granting of option rights by, partnership with, investment in, or similar transaction involving control of the Company or the Business, any of its equity interests or any of its material assets, in each case directly or indirectly, other than in the Ordinary Course of Business (an “Alternative Transaction”), (ii) (A) enter into, pursue or participate in any discussions, arrangements or negotiations with, (B) furnish any information with a view to any Alternative Transaction to, (C) afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any Subsidiary in a manner intended to facilitate an Alternative Transaction to, or (D) assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any Person (other than Purchaser or its Representatives) that is seeking to make, or has made, any proposal or offer with respect to any Alternative Transaction; or (iii) enter into or approve any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person (other than Purchaser or its Representatives) with respect to any Alternative Transaction or that could be reasonably expected to adversely affect the ability of Purchaser to consummate the Transactions.

(b) From and after the execution and delivery of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the Closing and the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1 (Termination), the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall, shall cause each of their respective Representatives to, and shall instruct and direct their respective equity holders to (i) immediately discontinue any ongoing discussions or negotiations relating to any Alternative Transaction and (ii) promptly notify Purchaser of the receipt by any of them (or any of their respective Representatives) of any oral or written inquiry that may be in furtherance of an Alternative Transaction or any oral or written offer, indication of interest, or proposal relating to an Alternative Transaction.

(b) Any action taken in violation of Section 6.14(b) (No Transfer) shall be null and void ab initio.

(d) Other Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, the parties expressly intend and agree as follows:

(i) For purposes of this ARTICLE 7 only, both for determining whether or not a representation and warranty has been breached and for determining the amount of any Damages incurred by an Indemnified Party, any qualification as to “material”, “materially” or “Material Adverse Effect” (or any other similar qualifications) contained in any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained herein shall not be given effect. The amount of any Damages shall be reduced by any amount actually recovered by an Indemnified Party with respect thereto under any insurance coverage (net any costs and expenses, including the present value of any insurance premium increases) and from other third parties, including [***].

(v) The Parties agree that where the same set of facts qualifies under more than one provision entitling the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Securityholder Indemnified Parties to a claim or remedy under this Agreement, such Party shall not be entitled to recover Damages in respect of such claim or remedy more than once.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this ARTICLE 7 or otherwise in this Agreement, (A) in no event will any Tax arising from any elections by or with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary under Code Sections 336(e) or 338 with respect to any transactions contemplated by this Agreement be considered or treated as a Tax attributable to any period on or before the Closing Date for any purposes of this Agreement, and (B) the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any indemnification, and none of the Selling Securityholders will have any liability or obligation with respect to any indemnification, for or with respect to any Taxes or other costs that might arise or accrue to the Company, any Subsidiary, or any other Person by reason of, or in connection with, any election by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to Code Sections 336(e) or 338 with respect to any transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

With respect to any such pending indemnification Claim, to the extent that any such indemnification Claim is finally resolved and the amount that is finally determined to be owed to any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to such indemnity Claim is less than the amount of the Milestone Payment so withheld by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall promptly thereafter pay to the Selling Securityholders the amount, or portion thereof, of the applicable Milestone Payment that was withheld in excess of such amount that was finally determined to be owed to such Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to such indemnity Claim.

7.6 Resolution of Indemnification Disputes. If an Indemnifying Party disputes or contests the basis or amount of any Claim set forth in a Claim Notice delivered by an Indemnified Party in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE 7 (Indemnification), the dispute will be resolved as set forth below, and not in accordance with Section 9.2 (Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration):

(a) An Indemnifying Party may object to a Claim for indemnification set forth in a Claim Notice by delivering to the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification a written statement of objection to the Claim made in the Claim Notice (an “Objection Notice”); provided, however, that, to be effective, such Objection Notice must (i) be delivered to the Indemnified Party prior to the [***] following the receipt of the applicable Claim Notice (such deadline, the “Objection Deadline” for such Claim Notice and the Claims for indemnification contained therein) and (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the Claims in respect of which the objection is made.

(b) To the extent the Indemnifying Party does not object in writing (as provided in Section 6.5(b) (Further Assurances and Cooperation)) to the Claims contained in such Claim Notice prior to the Objection Deadline for such Claim Notice, such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the Claims for Damages set forth in such Claim Notice (and such entitlement shall be conclusively and irrefutably established) with respect to the applicable parties against the Indemnifying Party (any such Claim, an “Unobjected Claim”). Within [***] of a Claim becoming an Unobjected Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall make the applicable payment to such Indemnified Party, subject to Section 7.4 (Limitations) and Section 9.2 (Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration).

(c) In case an Indemnifying Party timely delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 7.6 (Resolution of Indemnification Disputes), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such Claims. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties reach an agreement, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by all applicable parties (any Claims covered by such an agreement, “Settled Claims”). Any amounts required to be paid as a result of a Settled Claim shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to the Settled Claim within [***] of the applicable Claim becoming a Settled Claim, subject to Section 9.2 (Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration).

(d) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation prior to [***] after delivery of an Objection Notice, then upon the expiration of such [***] either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Parties may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Damages that is at issue is the subject of a pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration, and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted pursuant to Section 9.2 (Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration).

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.

 

(e) Arbitration under Section 9.2 (Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration) shall apply to any dispute among the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties under this Article 7.6 (Resolution of Indemnification Disputes).

(f) The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any Claim in such Claim Notice shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s). Claims determined by arbitration as provided in this Section 7.6(f)(Resolution of Indemnification Disputes) are referred to as “Resolved Claims.” Within [***] of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party, such Indemnifying Party shall make the payment to such Indemnified Party, subject to Sections 7.4 (Limitations) and 9.2 (Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration).

7.7 Third Party Claim Procedures.

(a) If a Claim is proposed to be made by an Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will give a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this ARTICLE 7 (Indemnification). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder will not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent, and only to the extent, that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure.

(b) If any Person commences any action or Proceeding with respect to any matter as to which any of the Indemnified Parties intends to seek indemnification under Section 7.1 (Indemnification by the Selling Securityholders), the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the existence of such Claim or the commencement of such action or Proceeding (and in any event within [***] after the service of any summons or citation). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder will not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent, and only to the extent, that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Claim Notice that relates to a representation or warranty that is subject to the survival period set forth in Section 7.3 (Survival) must be made within such survival period, whether or not the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by any failure to give a Claim Notice relating thereto. A Claim Notice must describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim, including an estimate of the amount of Damages that have been or may be suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party attributable to such Claim (to the extent reasonably ascertainable at such time), the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement and all information in the Indemnified Party’s possession relating to such Claim.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of any such Claim. If there is a third party Claim that, if adversely determined, would give rise to a right of recovery for Damages hereunder, then any amounts incurred by the Indemnified Parties in defense of such third party Claim, regardless of the outcome of such Claim, shall be deemed Damages hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall have the right in their sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to participate in any negotiation of settlement, adjustment or compromise with

respect to any such Claim; provided, however, that except with the consent of the Seller Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no settlement of any such Claim with third party claimants shall be determinative of the amount of Damages relating to such matter; provided further, however, the consent of the Indemnifying Party with respect to any settlement of any such Claim shall be deemed to have been given unless the Seller Representative shall have objected within twenty (20) days after a written request for such consent by the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Seller Representative has consented to any such settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Indemnifying Party, shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this ARTICLE 7 (Indemnification) to the amount of such settlement, adjustment or compromise constituting a payable Claim.

7.8 Remedies. Any indemnification owed by the Selling Securityholders to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.1 (Indemnification by the Selling Securityholders) shall be satisfied as follows: [***].

7.9 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. For all purposes hereunder, any indemnification payments made pursuant to ARTICLE 7 (Indemnification) will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all applicable Tax purposes.

7.10 Seller Representative.

(e) Each Selling Securityholder and Optionholder shall pay or reimburse, based on his, her or its respective Pro Rata Share, the Seller Representative, upon presentation of an invoice, for all reasonable costs and expenses of the Seller Representative (including fees and expenses of counsel to the Seller Representative) in connection with: (i) the performance and enforcement of this Agreement, any other Related Agreements and any other document delivered pursuant hereto and/or the protection or preservation of the rights of each Selling Securityholder, Optionholder and/or the Seller Representative against Purchaser, or any of their respective assets, and (ii) any amendment, modification or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement, any other Related Agreements or any other document delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not any such amendment, modification or waiver is signed or becomes effective). Such amounts will first be paid out of the Representative Fund Amount.

(f) Each Selling Securityholder and Optionholder acknowledges that he, she or it has, independently and without reliance upon the Seller Representative or any other Selling Securityholder or Optionholder, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Selling Securityholder and Optionholder also acknowledges that he, she or it, independently and without reliance upon the Seller Representative or any other Selling Securityholder or Optionholder, and based on such documents and information as he, she or it deems appropriate at the time, will continue to make his, her or its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

(g) The Seller Representative may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Selling Securityholders. Upon any such resignation, a majority of the Selling Securityholders and Optionholders (based on their respective Percentage Interests) shall appoint a successor Seller Representative. If no successor Seller Representative has been appointed by Selling Securityholders and Optionholders, and has accepted such appointment, within [***] after the retiring Seller Representative gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Seller Representative, on behalf of Selling Securityholders and Optionholders, may appoint a successor Seller Representative, which may be any Selling Securityholder. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Seller Representative hereunder by a successor Seller Representative, such successor Seller Representative will thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Seller Representative, and the retiring Seller Representative will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the retiring Seller Representative’s resignation hereunder as the Seller Representative, the provisions of this Agreement will inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Seller Representative.

(h) This Section 7.10 (Seller Representative) sets forth all of the duties of the Seller Representative with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No implied duties or obligations will be read into this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement against the Seller Representative. The obligations of the Seller Representative hereunder and under the Escrow Agreement are only those expressly set forth herein and therein.
