A COMPLETE VERSION OF THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION REQUESTING CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

This Exclusive License Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as April 24, 2018 (“Effective Date”), by and between Juniper Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Juniper’’) and Daré Bioscience, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Licensee”), each referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

WHEREAS, Juniper owns or has the exclusive rights to certain patent rights and owns or has non-exclusive rights to certain technical information and desires to grant licenses of those patent rights and technical information to Licensee;

WHEREAS, Licensee desires to license such patent rights and technical information and has the capability to commercially develop, manufacture, distribute and use Products (as defined below) and Processes (as defined below).

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings, unless the context requires otherwise.

1.1“Affiliate” with respect to either Party shall mean any corporation or other legal entity other than that Party in whatever country organized, controlling, controlled by or under common control with that Party. The term “control” shall mean (i) the direct or indirect ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting securities having the right to elect directors, or (ii) the power, direct or indirect, to elect or appoint fifty percent (50%) or more of the directors, or to cause direction of management and policies, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

1.2“Commercially Reasonable Efforts” shall mean with respect to the efforts to be expended by Licensee with respect to the objective that is the subject of such efforts, reasonable, good faith efforts and resources to accomplish such objective that a US-based pharmaceutical company of similar size and market capitalization would normally use to accomplish a similar objective under similar circumstances when developing a women’s health product, it being understood and agreed that with respect to the development or commercialization of a Product or Process, such efforts shall be similar to those efforts and resources consistent with the usual practice of such US-based pharmaceutical company in pursuing the development or commercialization of a potential women’s health medical product owned by it or to which it has exclusive rights, with similar product characteristics as the relevant Product or Process. Without limiting the foregoing, but for

the sake of clarity, the determination as to whether or not Licensee has met the foregoing requirement shall take into account all relevant factors with respect to a Product or Process, including without limitation market potential, profit potential, strategic value, stage of development, mechanism of action, efficacy and safety relative to competitive products in the marketplace, actual or anticipated approved labeling, expected and actual competitiveness of alternative products (including generic products) in the market, the nature and extent of market exclusivity (including patent coverage and regulatory exclusivity), cost and likelihood of obtaining regulatory approval, and availability of manufacture and supply for commercial sale

1.3“Distributor” shall mean any third party entity to whom Licensee, an Affiliate of Licensee or a Sublicensee has granted, express or implied, the right to distribute any Product or Process pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii).

1.4“First Commercial Sale” shall mean the initial Sale by Licensee or an Affiliate of Licensee or a Sublicensee in an arms-length transaction to a third party anywhere in the applicable License Territory after obtaining necessary marketing and pricing approval, to the extent both are required, from regulatory authorities of a specific Product or Process, but excluding any Sale of a reasonable quantity of Products for clinical trial purposes or marketing samples.

1.5“Generic Competition” shall mean, with respect to a Product or Process in a given country, one or more Generic Products are commercially available in such country.

1.6“Generic Product” shall mean, as to a Product or Process, any product (including a “generic product” approved by way of an Abbreviated New Drug Application or approved under a section 505(b)(2) application, by the FDA (or equivalent regulatory mechanism for another regulatory authority)) that is sold by a third party and (a) in the United States, is “therapeutically equivalent,” “comparable,” “biosimilar,” or “interchangeable,” as evaluated by the FDA, applying the definition of “therapeutically equivalent” set forth in the preface to the then-current edition of the FDA publication “Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations” or any other definitions set forth in the U.S. Code, FDA regulations, or other source of U.S. Law or (b) outside the United States, meets such equivalent determination by the applicable regulatory authorities (including a determination that the product is “comparable,” “interchangeable,” “bioequivalent,” or “biosimilar” with respect to the Product or Process).

1.7“License Field” shall mean all human and animal pharmaceutical, therapeutic, preventative, diagnostic and palliative uses, including, without limitation vaginal delivery of pharmaceuticals and shall not include any other field not specifically set forth herein.

1.9“Net Sales” shall be calculated as set forth in this Section 1.9, all in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, applied on a consistent basis (“GAAP”). Subject to the conditions set forth below, “Net Sales” shall mean the gross amount invoiced, or if no invoice is issued, the amount received by Licensee and its Affiliates for or on account of Sales of Products

and Processes on a country-by-country basis following First Commercial Sale in such country, less the following amounts to the extent separately stated on the invoice or actually paid or credited by Licensee and its Affiliates in effecting such Sale:

(4)

import, export, excise and sales taxes, customs duties, value added taxes, and other governmental charges levied on or measured by Sales of Products or Processes, whether paid by or on behalf of Licensee, but not franchise or income taxes of any kind whatsoever.

(a)

Specifically excluded from the definition of “Net Sales” are amounts attributable to any Sale of any Product or Process between or among Licensee and any Licensee Affiliate and/or Sublicensee, unless the transferee is the end purchaser, user or consumer of such Product or Process.

(d)

If any Product or Process is Sold at a discounted price that is substantially lower than the customary non-discounted and discounted price charged, or for non-cash consideration (whether or not at a discount), Net Sales for such Product or Process shall be calculated based on the non-discounted cash amount charged to an independent third party for the Product or Process during the same Reporting Period or, in the absence of such transaction, on the fair market value of the Product or Process. Non-cash consideration received for a Product or Process that could materially reduce any royalty payment due to Licensee hereunder shall not be accepted without the prior written consent of Licensee.

or ingredient (for clarity, functionally active components and ingredients shall exclude routine components including without limitation common buffers and standard cell culture media) not licensed by Juniper to Licensee hereunder (“Other Components”) to form a product that is a combination of a Product and/or Process and Other Component(s) (a “Combination Product”), Net Sales for the purposes of calculating the royalty owed to Juniper on Sales of such Product and/or Process shall be calculated as described in the subsections below:

(i)

If all Products and/or Processes and Other Components contained in the Combination Product(s) are Sold separately, Net Sales for Sales of Products and/or Processes for the purposes of calculating royalty payments shall be determined by multiplying [***], or if no [***] (for the purposes of this Section 1.9(e), the “Gross Sales Price”) by [***], in which [***] is [***], and [***] is [***]. For clarity, a Product or Process that delivers a drug either sold separately by Licensee or acquired from a third party shall not be considered a Combination Product with respect to such drug being included in such Product or Process.

(ii)

If the Combination Product contains Products and/or Processes or Other Components not sold separately in any given country (and thus the Gross Sales Price is not available for such Products and/or Processes or Other Components), then Net Sales for purposes of determining royalty payments will be calculated as above, but the [***] in the above equation for such country shall be determined by mutual agreement reached in good faith by the Parties prior to the end of the accounting period in question based on [***]. If the Parties are unable to reach such an agreement prior to the end of the applicable accounting period, then the Parties will refer such matter for dispute resolution pursuant to Section 12.13.

1.10“Patent Rights” shall mean all patents and patent applications that are listed on Exhibit A, including all provisionals, substitutions, continuations, continuations-in-part, divisionals, supplementary protection certificates, renewals, all letters patent granted thereon, and all reissues, reexaminations, extensions, confirmations, revalidations, registrations, patents of addition thereof, PCTs, and foreign equivalents to all of the foregoing.

1.11 “Phase 1 Clinical Trial” shall mean, as to a specific Product or Process, in connection with obtaining regulatory approval in the United States, the first clinical study conducted in humans to obtain preliminary information on a Product’s safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic activity, pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism and mechanism of action, as well as early evidence of effectiveness if possible, as described more fully in 21 C.F.R. § 312.21(a); or an equivalent clinical study in a country other than the United States in connection with obtaining regulatory approval therein.

1.12“Phase 2 Clinical Trial” shall mean, as to a specific Product or Process, in connection with obtaining regulatory approval in the United States, a clinical study in humans designed with the principal purpose of determining initial efficacy and dosing of such Licensed Product in patients for the indication(s) being studied, as described more fully in 21 C.F.R. § 312.21(b); or an equivalent clinical study in a country other than the United States in connection with obtaining regulatory approval therein.

1.13“Phase 3 Clinical Trial” shall mean, as to a specific Product or Process, in connection with obtaining regulatory approval in the United States, a clinical study in humans with a defined dose or set of defined doses of such Product or Process, after successful completion of one or more Phase 2 Clinical Studies, of the efficacy and safety of such Product or Process which is prospectively designed to demonstrate statistically whether such Product is effective and safe for use in a particular indication in a manner sufficient to file an application to obtain marketing approval to market and sell that Product or Process in the United States, as described more fully in 21 C.F.R. § 312.21(c); or an equivalent clinical study in a country other than the United States in connection with obtaining regulatory approval therein.

1.14“Process” shall mean any process, method or service, the performance of which, in whole or in part:

1.15“Product” shall mean any article, device or composition, the manufacture, use, or sale of which, in whole or in part:

Commercial Sale in such country, the Royalty Term shall terminate on the tenth year following the date of the First Commercial Sale in such country.

1.18“Sell” (and “Sale” and “Sold” as the case may be) shall mean to sell or have sold, to lease or have leased, to import or have imported, in each case for valuable consideration (in the form of cash or otherwise) a Product or Process, or otherwise to transfer or have transferred a Product or Process for valuable consideration (in the form of cash or otherwise), and further in the case of a Process, to use or perform such Process for the benefit of a third party.

1.19“Sublicense Income” shall mean consideration in any form received by Licensee and/or Licensee’s Affiliate(s) in consideration for and directly attributable to a grant of a sublicense under the license grant in Section 2.1 to the Patent Rights and/or Technological Information (regardless of whether such grantee is a “Sublicensee” as defined in this Agreement) to make, have made, use, have used, Sell or have Sold Products or Processes. Sublicense Income shall include without limitation any license signing fee, license maintenance fee, milestone payment (other than for a milestone event for which Licensee or its Affiliate receives a milestone payment from such Sublicensee and where such milestone event corresponds to a milestone event under Section 4.3), unearned portion of any minimum royalty payment, distribution or joint marketing fee if they include sublicense rights, research and development funding in excess of the cost of performing such research and development (such costs to include reasonable overhead charges), and any consideration received for an equity interest in, extension of credit to or other investment in Licensee or Licensee’s Affiliates to the extent such consideration exceeds the fair market value of the equity or other interest received as determined by agreement of the Parties or by an independent appraiser mutually agreeable to the Parties.

Sublicense Income shall not include payments made to reimburse direct costs such as (i) payments or reimbursement for documented sponsored research and/or development activities, valued at the actual cost of such activities plus reasonable overhead charges; or (ii) payment or reimbursement of reasonable patent expenses actually incurred or paid by Licensee and not otherwise reimbursed, or payment of patent expenses required to be paid by Licensee hereunder. Sublicense Income shall also not include (iii) payments received with respect to a change of control of the Licensee; and (iv) equity in Sublicensee purchased at the fair market value of such equity , and if Licensee or any of its Affiliates makes an equity investment in the Sublicensee at a price that is less than fair market value (as determined in the manner specified above), then the difference between the purchase price and the fair market value on the date that such payment is to be made multiplied by the total number of shares or securities purchased shall be deemed Sublicense Income.

1.20“Sublicensee” shall mean any sublicensee of rights granted under Section 2.1(a)(iii). For purposes of this Agreement, neither a Distributor of a Product or Process nor a contract manufacturer shall be included in the definition of Sublicensee unless such Distributor or contractor manufacturer (i) is granted any right to make, have made, use or have used Products or Processes in accordance with Section 2.1 (a)(iii), or (ii) has agreed to pay to Licensee or its Affiliate(s) royalties on such Distributor’s or contractor manufacturer’s sales of Products or

Processes, in which case such Distributor or contract manufacturer shall be a Sublicensee for all purposes of this Agreement. For clarity, a clinic that is granted the right to use or have used Products or Processes to treat patients shall not be considered a Sublicensee if Licensee or its Affiliate(s) do not receive royalties or other payments (other than the price paid for the Product or Process) related to such clinic’s use of Products or Processes.

1.21“Technological Information” shall mean proprietary discoveries, know-how and technical information known, licensed, owned, controlled or developed by Juniper or its Affiliates related to intravaginal ring for all indications as of the Effective Date, including for the sake of clarity, Technological Information licensed to Juniper pursuant to the Underlying Agreement and any subsequent improvements thereto, as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.

1.23“Valid Claim” shall mean a claim in an issued, unexpired patent or in a pending patent application within Patent Rights that (a) has not been finally cancelled, withdrawn, abandoned or rejected by any administrative agency or other body of competent jurisdiction, (b) has not been revoked, held invalid, or declared unpatentable or unenforceable in a decision of a court or other body of competent jurisdiction that is unappealable or unappealed within the time allowed for appeal, (c) has not been rendered unenforceable through disclaimer or otherwise, and (d) is not lost through an interference proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim of a pending patent application within Patent Rights in the United States has not issued as a claim of a patent within the seven (7) years after the PCT filing date (or the first national filing date if no PCT was filed), such claim shall not be a Valid Claim for the purposes of this Agreement, unless and until such claim issues as a claim of an issued patent (from and after which time the same shall be deemed a Valid Claim subject to paragraphs (a) and (b) above). For territories outside of the United States the Parties will negotiate in good faith, on a country-by-country basis, the period during which a claim of a pending patent must issue in order for it to be considered a Valid Claim for the purpose of the Agreement.

(iii)

the right to grant sublicenses under the rights granted in Sections 2.1(a)(i) and 2(a)(ii) to Sublicensees (including the right for Sublicensees to grant further sublicenses consistent with these terms), provided that in each case Licensee shall be responsible for the performance of any obligations of Sublicensees relevant to this Agreement as if such performance were carried out by Licensee itself, including, without limitation, the payment of any royalties or other payments provided for hereunder, regardless of whether the terms of any sublicense provide for such amounts to be paid by the Sublicensee directly to Licensee.

Licensee acknowledges that this Agreement does not confer by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or rights to any intellectual property rights, whether belonging to Juniper or any third party, other than those rights expressly stated herein.

(c)

Licensee may permit its Affiliates to exercise all rights granted to Licensee hereunder such that such Affiliates shall have the same license rights granted to Licensee hereunder. Licensee shall secure all appropriate covenants, obligations and rights from any such Affiliate so that such Affiliate is subject to, and Licensee can comply with, all of Licensee’s covenants and obligations to Juniper under this Agreement. Licensee shall be responsible for any failure of any of its Affiliates to comply with this Agreement.

2.2Sublicenses. Each sublicense granted hereunder shall be consistent with and comply with all relevant terms of this Agreement and the Underlying Agreement, shall incorporate terms and conditions sufficient to enable Licensee to comply with this Agreement, shall provide that Licensee shall be responsible for performance of all such obligations and for compliance with all such terms and conditions by Sublicensees. Licensee shall provide to Juniper a fully signed

redacted (to remove content unrelated to obligations due Juniper) copy of all sublicense agreements and amendments thereto, including all exhibits, attachments and related documents, within thirty (30) days of executing the same. Upon termination of this Agreement or any license granted hereunder for any reason, any Sublicenses shall be addressed in accordance with Section 10.7.

3.2Diligence Failures. In the event Licensee has materially failed to fulfill any of its obligations under Section 3.1, and subject to resolution under the dispute resolution provisions of Section 12.13 and failure to cure as permitted in Section 10.4, then Juniper may treat such material failure as a default and may terminate this Agreement and/or any license granted to Licensee hereunder in accordance with Section 10.4.

Each payment shall reference this Agreement and identify the obligation under this Agreement that the payment satisfies. In respect of Net Sales, conversion by Licensee of foreign currency to U.S. dollars shall be made at the conversion rate existing in the United States, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, on the last working day of the applicable Reporting Period, consistent with GAAP.

Licensee will, in accordance with such law, withhold taxes from the amount due, remit such taxes to the appropriate tax authority, and furnish Juniper with proof of payment of such taxes within thirty (30) days following the payment. If taxes are paid to a tax authority, Licensee shall provide reasonable assistance to Juniper to obtain a refund of taxes withheld, or obtain a credit with respect to taxes paid.

4.7Overdue Payments. The payments due under this Agreement shall, if overdue, bear interest beginning on the first day following the due date to which such payment was incurred and

until payment thereof at a per annum rate equal to [***] above the prime rate in effect on the due date as reported by The Wall Street Journal, such interest rate being compounded on the last day of each Reporting Period, not to exceed the maximum permitted by law. Any such overdue payments when made shall be accompanied by all interest so accrued. Said interest and the payment and acceptance thereof shall not preclude Juniper from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

from such income, including an itemized listing of the source of income comprising such consideration, and the name and address of each entity making such payments.

5.5Audit Rights. Licensee shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Sublicensees to maintain, complete and accurate records relating to Sales of Products and Processes and Sublicense Income, and the rights and obligations under Section 4 of this Agreement and any amounts payable to Juniper in relation to this Agreement, which records shall contain sufficient information to permit Juniper to confirm the accuracy of any payments and reports delivered to Juniper. Licensee shall retain and make available, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Sublicensees to retain and make available as set forth below, such records for at least [***] ([***]) years following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain, to Juniper upon at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice, for examination during normal business hours, by independent certified public accountants hired by Juniper and reasonably acceptable to Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees, as the case may be, to verify any reports and payments made and/or compliance in other respects under Section 4 of this Agreement. Licensee may require such accountants to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement, and in no event shall such accountants disclose to Juniper any information, other than such as relates to the accuracy of the corresponding reports pursuant to Section 5. Such confidentiality agreement shall permit such accountants to perform all activities typically associated with an audit of a license agreement. The foregoing right of examination may be exercised only once in relation to each twelve (12)-month period during the Term, and no period may be audited more than once, except in the event Juniper has cause for such audit, in which case, the for cause audit shall not count as an audit under this Section 5.5. If any examination conducted by such independent certified public accountants pursuant to the provisions of this Section certifies an underreporting or underpayment of [***] percent ([***]%) or more in any payment due to Juniper hereunder, Licensee shall reimburse Juniper for the reasonable cost of such audit and shall remit any amounts due to Juniper (including interest due in accordance with Section 4.5) within thirty (30) days of receiving a copy of the auditor’s report. This Section shall survive for [***] ([***]) years from expiration or termination of this Agreement.

6.1Prosecution. MGH shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all patent applications and patents included in Patent Rights that are subject to the Underlying Agreement (the “Underlying Patent Rights”) and Licensee shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all patent applications and patents included in Patent Rights that are not Underlying Patent Rights. Licensee shall reimburse Juniper (or if requested by Juniper, MGH directly) for [***] costs incurred in the preparation, filing, maintenance of the patent applications and patents included in the Underlying Patent Rights within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice for such costs. Licensee shall [***] any costs associated with the preparation, filing, maintenance of the patent applications and patents included in the Patent Rights that are not Underlying Patent Rights. If requested by Licensee, Juniper shall communicate to MGH (or request that MGH allow Licensee to communicate directly with MGH) Licensee’s requests to seek patent protection of any Underlying Patent Rights in any country within the License Territory in which MGH is not prosecuting such Patent Rights (including seeking patent term adjustments, patent term extensions, supplemental patent protection or related extension of rights), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate on Licensee’s behalf with respect to such requests, if applicable.

6.2Copies of Documents. With respect to any Underlying Patent Right licensed hereunder, Juniper shall notify MGH in writing of its request that MGH instruct the patent counsel prosecuting such Underlying Patent Right to (i) promptly copy Licensee on all patent prosecution documents that are received from or filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and foreign equivalent, as applicable; (ii) promptly provide Licensee with copies of all draft submissions to the patent office prior to filing with reasonably sufficient time for Licensee and its patent counsel to review and provide comments for incorporation into such submission; and (iii) keep Licensee reasonably informed with respect to the preparation, prosecution and maintenance of the Underlying Patent Rights and consult with Licensee, and take any of Licensee’s or its patent counsel’s comments and requests into good faith consideration, with respect to the preparation, prosecution and maintenance of the Underlying Patent Rights. If requested by Licensee, Juniper shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate communications between Licensee and MGH with respect to the Underlying Patent Rights, or shall request that MGH communicate directly with Licensee with respect to the Underlying Patent Rights.

6.3Licensee’s Election Not to Proceed. Licensee may elect to surrender any patent or patent application in Patent Rights in any country upon sixty (60) days advance written notice to Juniper (“Waived Patent Rights”). Such notice shall relieve Licensee from the obligation to pay for future patent costs related to such Waived Patent Rights but shall not relieve Licensee from responsibility to pay patent costs incurred prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) day notice period:

(a)

If the Waived Patent Rights are in the [***], such patent application or patent in such country shall thereupon cease to be a Patent Right hereunder and Juniper shall be free to license its rights to that particular U.S. or foreign patent application or patent to any other party on any terms.

(b)

If the Waived Patent Rights are in any other country (i.e., other than a country set forth above in clause (a) above), the licenses granted with respect to such patent application or patent in such other country under Section 2.1(a)(i) shall thereupon become non-exclusive. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a conversion to a nonexclusive license in any such other country, such conversion shall not excuse Licensee from paying royalties on Unpatented Products and Unpatented Processes in such countries at the rates set forth in Section 4.4, and Juniper shall be free to license its rights non-exclusively to that particular patent application or patent in such other country to any other party on any terms.

7.1Licensee Right to Prosecute. Each Party agrees to immediately notify the other Party in writing upon becoming aware of any infringement of the Patent Rights in the License Field and provide to the other Party all reasonably-available evidence of such infringement. Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to protect Patent Rights from infringement and prosecute infringers in the License Field in the License Territory, at its own expense. Subject to any consent and other requirements set forth in the Underlying Agreement, before commencing such action, Licensee and, as applicable, any Affiliate, shall reasonably consult with Juniper, concerning, among other things, Licensee’s standing to bring suit, the advisability of bringing suit, the selection of counsel and the jurisdiction for such action, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate the views of Juniper regarding the proposed action. If Licensee commences any such action, but is not recognized by the applicable court or other relevant body as having the requisite standing to pursue such action, then at Licensee’s request, Juniper shall join, and if necessary, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause MGH to join, in as party-plaintiff or commence such action in its own name and, in either event, cooperate with Licensee, at Licensee’s expense; provided, however, that Licensee shall indemnify and hold Juniper, MGH and MIT harmless from and against any costs and expenses they incur in connection with the defense of any counterclaims filed against them, except for the expense of any independent counsel retained by Juniper, MGH, or MIT in accordance with Section 7.3.

7.2MGH Right to Prosecute. In the event Licensee notifies Juniper that Licensee does not intend to prosecute infringement identified under Section 7.1, or in the event that Licensee is unsuccessful in persuading the alleged infringer to desist, MGH shall have the right, but not the obligation to prosecute such infringement, as specified in the Underlying Agreement.

7.3 Juniper, MGH and MIT Joined as Party-Plaintiff. If Licensee elects to commence an action as described in Section 7.1, Juniper, MGH and MIT shall each have, in its sole discretion, the option to join such action as party-plaintiffs. If Juniper, MGH and MIT are required by law to join such action as party-plaintiffs, Juniper, MGH, or MIT may either (i) in their joint discretion, permit themselves to be joined as party-plaintiffs at the sole expense of Licensee, or (ii) assign to Licensee all of Juniper’s, MGH’s, or MIT’s right, title and interest in and to the Patent Right which is the subject of such action (subject to any government rights under law and any other rights that

others may have in such Patent Right). If Juniper, MGH and MIT make such an assignment, such action by Licensee shall thereafter be brought or continued without Juniper, MGH, or MIT as a party; provided, however, that Juniper, MGH and MIT shall continue to have all rights of prosecution and maintenance with respect to the Patent Rights and Licensee shall continue to meet all of its obligations under this Agreement as if the assigned Patent Right were still licensed to Licensee hereunder. For the sake of clarity, MGH’s and MIT’s rights specified in this Section only relate to the Underlying Patent Rights.

7.4Notice of Actions; Settlement; Cooperation. The provisions of Sections 7.4 and 7.5 of the Underlying Agreement regarding notice of actions, settlements and cooperation shall apply this Agreement and are herein incorporated by reference.

7.5Recovery. Any award paid by third parties as the result of proceedings brought by Licensee under Section 7.1 (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall first be applied to reimbursement of any reasonable legal fees and out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Licensee, then to reimbursement of any reasonable legal fees and out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Juniper, MGH, or MIT; and any remainder [***].

(a)

Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Juniper and its Affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any third party claims, actions, demands and proceedings brought or alleged against any of the Indemnitees (each a “Claim”), and shall pay all damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by or imposed upon an Indemnitee, to the extent such Claim is arising out of or related to the exercise of any rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement, including without limitation any theory of product liability (including, but not limited to, actions in the form of contract, tort, warranty, or strict liability) concerning any product, process or service made, used, or sold or performed pursuant to any right or license granted under this Agreement, except to the extent such Losses arise from the breach of this Agreement or gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee.

(b)

An Indemnitee that intends to claim indemnification under this Section 8.1 shall promptly notify Licensee of any Claim in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification reasonably promptly after the Indemnitee is aware thereof (and in any event reasonably before any formal deadline for responding to a such claim has passed), and shall permit Licensee to assume the control of the defense and settlement of such Claim. Licensee shall assume the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Juniper; provided, however, that an

Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel and participate in the defense thereof at its own cost and expense, and further provided, that any Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, at the expense of Licensee, if representation of such Indemnitee by counsel retained by Licensee would be inappropriate because of a direct adverse conflict of interests of such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such action or a related action.

(c)

No Indemnitee may consent to any settlement or judgment of a Claim without the consent of Licensee. The Indemnitees under this Section 8.1 shall cooperate fully with Licensee and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any matter covered by this indemnification. Licensee agrees to keep Juniper informed of the progress in the defense and disposition of such claim and to reasonably consult with Juniper prior to any proposed settlement.

(a)

Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain commercial general liability and products-completed operations liability insurance policy(ies) in amounts set forth below which shall be issued by an insurer licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Juniper shall qualify as a “loss payee” thereunder. Such insurance shall provide (i) product liability coverage (ii) errors and omissions liability coverage and (iii) contractual liability coverage. The limits of such insurance shall not be less than [***] Dollars ($[***]) per occurrence with an annual aggregate of [***] Dollars ($[***]) for bodily injury including death; and [***] Dollars ($[***]) per occurrence with an annual aggregate of [***] Dollars ($[***]) for property damage. If Licensee desires to self-insure all or part of the limits described above (including deductibles or retentions which are in excess of $[***] annual aggregate) such self-insurance program must be acceptable to Juniper. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required under this Section 8.2 shall not be construed to create a limit of Licensee’s liability with respect to its indemnification under Section 8.1 of this Agreement.

(b)

Licensee shall provide Juniper with written evidence of such insurance upon written request of Juniper. Licensee shall provide Juniper with written notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance; if Licensee does not obtain replacement insurance providing comparable coverage prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, Juniper shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective at the end of such fifteen (15) day period without notice or any additional waiting periods.

(c)

Licensee shall maintain such commercial general liability insurance beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement during (i) the period that any such product, process, or service is being commercially distributed, sold, leased or otherwise transferred, or performed or used (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals), by Licensee or an Affiliate, Sublicensee, or agent of Licensee and (ii) a reasonable period after the period referred to in (c) (i) above which in no event shall be less than [***].

9.1Juniper Warranties. To the best actual knowledge of Juniper on the Effective Date, Juniper represents and warrants that Juniper is the exclusive licensee of the Underlying Patent Rights. Juniper represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, (i) it owns all right, title and interest in and to the patents and patent applications in the Patent Rights that are not Underlying Patent Rights, and that it has not granted any rights to any third party to such Patent Rights; (ii) Juniper has not received any written notice of any current claims, liens or encumbrances with respect to the Patent Rights, (iii) Juniper has received no current written claims of a third party to rights in the Patent Rights, (iv) to its best actual knowledge the Patent Rights are subsisting; (v) Juniper has not received any written claim or notice that the Patent Rights are invalid or unenforceable, and (vi) Juniper has not received any notice of any current claims, liens or encumbrances with respect to the rights and licenses to the Patent Rights granted to Licensee hereunder.

SPECIFICALLY, AND NOT TO LIMIT THE FOREGOING, JUNIPER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION (i) REGARDING THE VALIDITY OR SCOPE OF ANY OF THE CLAIM(S), WHETHER ISSUED OR PENDING, OF ANY OF THE PATENT RIGHTS, AND (ii) THAT THE EXPLOITATION OF THE PATENT RIGHTS OR ANY PRODUCT OR PROCESS WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

10.1Term. The term of the Agreement will commence upon the Effective Date and continue on a country-by-country basis until the later of (a) expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim in such country, or (b) ten (10) years from the date of first commercial sale of a Product or Process in such country, unless this Agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with any of the other provisions of Section 10.

10.2Termination for Failure to Pay.

10.4Termination for Non-Financial Default. If Licensee or any of its Affiliates materially breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement not otherwise covered by the provisions of Section 10.2 and 10.3, and if such material breach has not been cured within sixty (60) days after notice by Juniper in writing of such breach, or if Licensee has not undertaken a plan to cure such breach that is reasonably acceptable to Juniper, then Juniper may immediately terminate this Agreement and/or any license granted hereunder at the end of said sixty (60) day cure period. If Juniper notifies Licensee of a material breach as described herein, the Parties shall promptly meet in an effort to resolve any good faith dispute with respect to such breach in accordance with Section 12.13.

10.5Challenging Validity. During the term of this Agreement, Licensee shall not Challenge, and shall restrict its Affiliates and Sublicensees from Challenging, the Patent Rights and in the event of any breach of this provision, Juniper shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and any license (and sublicense in the case of a challenge from a Sublicensee) granted hereunder immediately.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any response by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensee in response to any suit, proceeding, or other action brought directly or indirectly by Juniper or any of its Affiliates or MGH against Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensee shall not be deemed a Challenge.

10.6Termination by Licensee. Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on a country-by-country basis by giving one hundred eighty (180) days advance written notice to Juniper (but if such termination occurs prior to receipt of marketing approval in the United States, then such notice period shall be ninety (90) days’), and upon such termination shall immediately cease all use and Sales of Products and Processes in such country, subject to Section 10.9.

(a)

In the event the Agreement is terminated by Licensee in accordance with Section 10.6, and in the event of termination of this Agreement by Juniper in the event of material uncured breach by Licensee pursuant to Section 10.4, Juniper will have a full access, including the right to use and reference all Product data generated during the term of the Agreement that is owned by Licensee.

(b)
