AnaptysBio shall be entitled to exercise all rights with respect to the Product Agreements from and after the Effective Date. Without limiting the foregoing, until a Product Agreement is assumed by AnaptysBio, Centessa shall, in cooperation with AnaptysBio (i) implement arrangements (including sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide the underlying rights and benefits of Centessa to AnaptysBio, (ii) use all reasonable endeavors for a period of [***] to obtain any requisite consent required to novate or assign (as applicable) such Product Agreement, (iii) to enforce, at the reasonable request of and for the benefit of AnaptysBio, any and all claims, rights and benefits of Centessa, against any third party thereto arising from any such Product Agreement, and (iv) terminate any Product Agreement or any project or statement of work thereunder pursuant to AnaptysBio’s request. 3.3.3 Inventory. Centessa hereby transfers ownership of the Transferred Materials to AnaptysBio. Within [***] of the Effective Date, Centessa shall deliver to each vendor detailed in the Location column of Table 1 of Exhibit A, a notice of transfer of ownership (“Transfer Notice”) in a form reasonably acceptable to AnaptysBio of the Transferred Materials located in the applicable vendor’s business location which together comprises all of the inventory of all Compound(s) and Product(s) (including intermediates and components thereof) existing as of the Effective Date. Centessa shall copy AnaptysBio on each such Transfer Notice. 3.3.4 Costs reimbursement. AnaptysBio shall pay third party costs reasonably incurred by Centessa in the course of providing assistance under this Section 3. Centessa’s obligations to provide assistance under this Section 3 without reimbursement from AnaptysBio, are capped at a maximum of [***] FTE hours to be utilized within [***] following the Manufacturing Transfer Date. During such period of [***] days following the Manufacturing Transfer Date, Centessa agrees to provide additional FTE hours and any such further support shall be charged at the FTE Rate. Centessa’s obligations with respect to procuring the assistance of any persons that are not its or its Affiliates’ employees and existing consultants shall be limited to commercially reasonable efforts. Centessa shall invoice AnaptysBio for any reimbursable FTE hours described above within [***] following provision of such support to AnaptysBio. AnaptysBio shall pay the amounts payable under any such invoice within [***]. External costs that have been preapproved in writing by AnaptysBio are to be reimbursed by AnaptysBio and shall be invoiced separately by Centessa upon Centessa’s receipt of the applicable Third Party’s invoice. Except for such preapproved external costs, any external third-party costs incurred by Centessa as a result of services rendered to Centessa (or Capella) shall be the sole responsibility of Centessa. For the avoidance of doubt, all costs, whether external (out-of-pocket) or internal, incurred by Centessa as a result of services rendered to Centessa or Capella prior to the Effective Date, shall be the sole responsibility of Centessa. 3.4 Sublicenses. AnaptysBio shall have the right to grant sublicenses under the License through multiple tiers to: (a) an Affiliate of AnaptysBio; or (b) a Third Party.

AnaptysBio shall be fully


 
23 responsible for the compliance of its Affiliates and Sublicensees with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall remain solely liable for the performance of its obligations hereunder, notwithstanding the grant of any Sublicense. AnaptysBio shall promptly notify Centessa in writing of the execution of any Sublicense agreement and shall provide Centessa with a copy of such Sublicense agreement, and any amendment thereto, no later than [***] following execution thereof; provided, that AnaptysBio may redact any confidential or financial information contained therein that is unnecessary for Centessa to ascertain compliance with this Agreement. 3.5 [***]. 3.5.1 [***]. 3.5.2 [***]. 3.5.3 [***]. 3.5.4 [***]. 3.6 Bankruptcy. For purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and any similar laws in any other country, all rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to any Section of this Agreement are rights to “intellectual property” (as defined in Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code). The Parties agree that each Party, each as a licensee of the rights licensed to such licensee Party under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its protections, rights, and elections under the Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, its rights under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code to, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against the licensing Party under the Bankruptcy Code and upon rejection of this Agreement by such licensing Party, elect to treat this Agreement as terminated or to retain its rights under this Agreement and under any agreement supplementary to this Agreement, to such intellectual property (including any embodiment of such intellectual property to the extent protected by applicable non-bankruptcy law). Each licensing Party hereby acknowledges that each licensee Party will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) the intellectual property rights licensed to such licensee Party hereunder and all embodiments thereof, if not already in its possession, will be promptly delivered to it upon its written request therefor and election under Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code to retain the license and the rights granted by the licensing Party to the licensee Party hereunder in the event of the licensing Party’s rejection of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 3.6 are without prejudice to any rights each licensee Party may have arising under the Bankruptcy Code, laws of other jurisdictions governing insolvency and bankruptcy, or other Applicable Law. The Parties agree that they intend the following rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, including for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code and any similar laws in any other jurisdiction the right to retain, receive, or access, as applicable the intellectual property rights licensed to such licensee Party hereunder (including all embodiments thereof). 3.7 Late Payment. If any cash payment properly due under or arising from this Agreement and not subject to a good faith dispute is not paid when due in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the cash payment shall accrue interest from the date due at the rate equal to [***] percent above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) effective


 
24 for the date that payment was first due as reported by The Wall Street Journal (U.S. internet edition) or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Law, whichever is lower. Such interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, calculated from the due date until the date of payment. 3.8 No Implied Licenses or Rights. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party, by virtue of this Agreement, shall acquire any license or other interest, by implication or otherwise, in any Know-How, Patents or other Intellectual Property Rights owned or controlled by the other Party or its Affiliates not expressly granted under this Agreement. 4.

Such report shall consist of: (a) a summary of activities taken by AnaptysBio, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees during the period covered by the report to Develop such a Product; (b) an estimation for the projected date of initiation of a Phase 3 Clinical Study for such a Product; and (c) the projected and actual dates of first sale of such a Product. 6.

(a) In the event that AnaptysBio or its Affiliate or Sublicensee (as applicable) is required to obtain one or more licenses under issued Patents of Third Parties (excluding licenses of Patents (i) from Sublicensees, and (ii) from CMOs other than Centessa CMOs that AnaptysBio elects to engage after the Effective Date) that are necessary for the Exploitation of Product in the Territory and that have priority dates on or before the Effective Date (“Third Party Licenses”), [***]. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any calendar quarter in the Royalty Term for a Product in the Territory, the operation of the provisions of Section 7.3.2, individually or in combination with each other, shall not reduce the royalties that would otherwise have been due to Centessa under Section 7.3 with respect to Net Sales of such Product in the Territory during such calendar quarter to less than [***] of the amount that would have been due to Centessa without the application of the provisions of Section 7.3.2 (the “Royalty Floor”); [***]. 7.4 Milestones. Within [***] following the first achievement by AnaptysBio, its Affiliate or Sublicensee of the Regulatory Milestone Event, AnaptysBio shall provide Centessa with written notice of such achievement, and AnaptysBio shall, within [***] after receipt of Centessa’s corresponding invoice dated after such notice, at its sole discretion, either (a) pay to Centessa a cash payment of ten million U.S. dollars ($10,000,000), or (b) in case [***] issue, in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, to Centessa Common Stock valued at ten million U.S. dollars ($10,000,000) [***] (the “Regulatory Milestone Payment”) provided AnaptysBio shall remain a publicly traded company on the Regulatory Milestone Payment date.

27 Securities Act. It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates or book-entry records evidencing such Shares may bear the following or any similar legend: “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (II) SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144, OR (III) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY LAWFULLY BE MADE WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.” To provide for the subsequent resale of the Payment Shares by Centessa, in the case AnaptysBio opts to issue shares of Common Stock to Centessa for the Regulatory Milestone Payment, AnaptysBio shall within thirty (30) days after the Regulatory Milestone Payment, use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-3 providing for the resale of Payment Shares issued pursuant to the Regulatory Milestone Payment. AnaptysBio shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statements effective at all times until (x) Centessa no longer beneficially owns the Payment Shares or (y) the Payment Shares may be resold by Centessa under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without (1) the requirement for AnaptysBio to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 as to such securities and (2) volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. Subject to receipt by AnaptysBio of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to AnaptysBio in connection therewith, upon the earlier of such time as the Payment Shares (i) have been registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) such time as the Payment Shares have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) are eligible for resale under Rule 144(b)(1) or any successor provision, AnaptysBio shall (A) deliver to its transfer agent irrevocable instructions that the transfer agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such Payment Shares, and (B) cause its counsel to deliver to its transfer agent one or more opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act. 7.7 Payments are Non-Refundable. Payments made under this Section 7 are non- refundable. 8. PAYMENT; RECORDS; AUDITS 8.1 Reports and Payments. Royalties under Section 7.3 shall be calculated and reported for [***] and shall be paid within [***]. Each payment of royalties shall be accompanied or preceded by a report describing calculation of Net Sales in sufficient detail to permit confirmation of the accuracy of the payment made, including, on a Product-by-Product basis, the number of each type of Product sold, gross sales, Net Sales and itemized deductions from gross sales (by major category as set forth in the definition of Net Sales), and any reductions taken.


 
28 8.2 Manner and Place of Payment. All payment amounts specified in this Agreement are expressed in U.S. dollars ($), and all payments by AnaptysBio to Centessa under this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. dollars. All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by AnaptysBio by electronic transfer of immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by Centessa, unless otherwise specified in writing by Centessa. 8.3 Audits. AnaptysBio shall keep, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records pertaining to the sale of Products, in each case, in sufficient detail to permit Centessa to confirm the accuracy of all reports delivered pursuant to Section 8.1 and payments due hereunder, for at least [***] following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain. Centessa shall have the right, once annually, to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to AnaptysBio to audit such records to confirm Net Sales and royalties, for a period covering not more than the preceding [***]. No audited period shall be subject to audit under this Section 8.3 more than once. Such audits may be exercised during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to AnaptysBio, but no more frequently than once per year. The auditor will execute a reasonable written confidentiality agreement with AnaptysBio and will disclose to Centessa only such information as is reasonably necessary to provide Centessa with information regarding any actual or potential discrepancies between amounts reported and actually paid and amounts payable under this Agreement. The auditor will send a copy of the report to AnaptysBio at the same time such report is sent to Centessa. The report sent to both Parties will include the methodology and calculations used to determine the results. If such audit reveals that AnaptysBio has failed to accurately report information pursuant to Section 8.1 or to make any payment (or portion thereof) when due under this Agreement, then AnaptysBio, within [***] after receipt of the final audit report, shall pay to Centessa any underpaid amounts due under this Agreement. If such audit reveals that AnaptysBio has made an overpayment under this Agreement, then Centessa, within [***] after receipt of the final audit report, shall return to AnaptysBio any such overpaid amounts made under this Agreement. Centessa shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by AnaptysBio of more than [***] of the amount due by AnaptysBio for any calendar year under this Agreement, in which case, AnaptysBio shall bear the full cost of such audit. 8.4 Taxes. Where any amount to be paid by AnaptysBio to Centessa hereunder is subject to any withholding or similar tax, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct all such acts (including the execution of all such documents) to enable them to take advantage of any applicable double taxation agreement or treaty. If there is no applicable double taxation agreement or treaty, or if an applicable double taxation agreement or treaty reduces but does not eliminate such withholding or similar tax, AnaptysBio shall (a) timely remit such withholding or similar tax to the appropriate Governmental Authority, (b) pay the remaining amount of such payment to Centessa, and (c) furnish Centessa with proof of payment of such withholding or similar taxes as well as any official receipts issued by the applicable Governmental Authority or other evidence as is reasonably requested to establish that such withholding or similar taxes have been paid within [***] of such payment. Any such amounts deducted by AnaptysBio and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority in respect of such withholding or similar tax shall be treated as having been paid by AnaptysBio for purposes of this Agreement. Centessa may provide any tax forms reasonably necessary for AnaptysBio to not withhold or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under Applicable Law. AnaptysBio will provide Centessa such assistance as is reasonably required to obtain a refund of the withheld or similar taxes, or to obtain a credit with


 
29 respect to such taxes paid. All payments due under this Agreement are exclusive of sales and use taxes (the “Indirect Taxes”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, AnaptysBio shall be responsible for any Indirect Taxes imposed with respect to the payments or the related transfer of rights or other property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If the Indirect Taxes originally paid or otherwise borne by AnaptysBio are in whole or in part subsequently determined not to have been chargeable, all reasonably necessary steps will be taken by the Parties to receive a refund of these undue Indirect Taxes from the applicable Governmental Authority and any amount of undue Indirect Taxes repaid by such Governmental Authority to Centessa will be transferred to AnaptysBio within [***] of receipt. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and to cause their respective Affiliates, subcontractors, licensees and Sublicensees to provide, any information or documentation reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain the benefits of any U.S. tax laws that could provide a material tax benefit to either Party. 9. CONFIDENTIALITY 9.1 Confidential Information. Subject to Section 9.2, “Confidential Information” of a Party shall mean any information disclosed or furnished by or on behalf of such Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement, whether in written, oral, visual, electronic or other form. During the Term, and for a period of [***] following the effective date of expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement (or, with respect to Confidential Information that is affirmatively identified in writing by the Disclosing Party as a trade secret of the Disclosing Party, until such trade secret no longer qualifies as a trade secret under Applicable Law), the Receiving Party shall maintain in confidence, and shall not disclose and shall not use for any purpose, other than to perform its obligations or to exercise its rights under this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall only permit access to Confidential Information to those directors, officers, employees, Sublicensees (in the case of AnaptysBio), agents, consultants, clinical investigators, Financial Lender or contractors (“Representatives”) of the Receiving Party and its Affiliates, who, in each case, (a) have a need to know such information for the purpose of the Receiving Party’s exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (b) have been advised by the Receiving Party of the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and (c) are contractually or legally bound by obligations of non-disclosure and non-use at least as stringent as those contained herein and in the event of disclosures to a Financial Lender, a Financial Lender CDA (as defined below); provided that, in the event Centessa makes a disclosure to a Financial Lender, it agrees to enforce such Financial Lender CDA for the benefit of AnaptysBio. The Receiving Party shall use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own, but no less than reasonable care, to ensure that its and its Affiliates’ Representatives do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for any failure by any of its or its Affiliates’ Representatives which, if committed by the Receiving Party, would be a breach of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. This Agreement supersedes the Prior CDA with respect to any information disclosed thereunder. All information exchanged between the Parties under the Prior CDA shall be deemed Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 9, as if such information had been exchanged hereunder. Licensed Technology shall be deemed the


 
30 Confidential Information of AnaptysBio, and AnaptysBio shall be deemed to be the Disclosing Party with respect thereto and Centessa the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensed Technology shall remain AnaptysBio’s Confidential Information following expiration or termination of this Agreement, except that following termination of this Agreement by AnaptysBio pursuant to Section 11.2 or by Centessa pursuant to Sections 11.3 or 11.4, the Licensed Technology shall become the Confidential Information of Centessa, and Centessa shall be deemed to be the Disclosing Party with respect thereto and AnaptysBio, the Receiving Party. 9.2 Exceptions. Confidential Information shall not include any information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (a) is, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the Receiving Party or its Representatives in breach of this Agreement, generally known or available to the public; (b) is known by the Receiving Party at the time of receiving such information from the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by its contemporaneously-maintained written records, with no restrictions on its use or disclosure; (c) is hereafter furnished to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis by a Third Party, as a matter of right (i.e., without breaching any obligation such Third Party may have to the Disclosing Party); or (d) is independently discovered or developed by the Receiving Party, independently of the activities undertaken by the Receiving Party pursuant to this Agreement and without the use of, reliance on, or reference to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s contemporaneously- maintained written records; provided further that with respect to Licensed Technology in the possession of Centessa, the foregoing exceptions (b), (c) and (d) shall not apply. 9.3 Permitted Disclosures. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information (i) as expressly permitted by this Agreement, or, (ii) in the case of Centessa, to its Financial Lender, to the extent required to fulfil Centessa’s contractual obligations to such Financial Lender, under written obligations of non-disclosure and non-use at least as stringent as those contained herein with respect to such Confidential Information (“Financial Lender CDA”); or (iii) if and to the extent such disclosure is necessary in complying with applicable court orders of competent jurisdiction or Applicable Laws or in complying with the listing rules of any exchange on which the Receiving Party’s or its Affiliate’s securities are traded; provided that, in the event Centessa is required to make a disclosure pursuant to (ii), it agrees to enforce such Financial Lender CDA for the benefit of AnaptysBio, and further provided that, in the event the Receiving Party is required to make a disclosure pursuant to (iii) of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, it will, except where impracticable or legally impermissible, (a) give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure, (b) use efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information at least as diligent as the Receiving Party would use to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts, and (c) cooperate with any efforts by the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s request and expense, to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information. In any event, the Receiving Party shall only disclose that portion of Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed. Disclosure by the Receiving Party of Confidential Information in accordance with any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.3 shall not, in and of itself, cause the information so disclosed to cease to be treated as Confidential Information under this Agreement, except to the extent that, by virtue of disclosure by the Receiving Party in full compliance with this Section 9.3, such information becomes generally known or available.


 
31 9.4 Terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9, each Party agrees not to disclose to any Third Party the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, except that each Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement that are otherwise made public as contemplated by Section 9.5 or to the extent such disclosure is permitted under Section 9.3. 9.5 Public Announcements. 9.5.1 Press Release. The Parties will agree on the content of a press release substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E to be issued jointly by the Parties, the release of which the Parties will coordinate in order to accomplish the same promptly upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, or at each Party’s option individually by the Parties. 9.5.2 Voluntary Disclosures. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.5.1, AnaptysBio shall be free to issue an independent press release or other public communication pertaining to the Compounds and Products and any of its rights hereunder. Except to the extent already disclosed in a press release or other public communication issued in accordance with this Agreement, no public announcement concerning the Compounds, Products or Licensed Technology shall be made, either directly or indirectly, by Centessa or its Affiliates, except as may be required by Applicable Law (including disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)), judicial order, or stock exchange or quotation system rule, without first obtaining the prior written approval of AnaptysBio (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) upon the nature, text and timing of such announcement. Centessa shall provide AnaptysBio with a written copy of the proposed announcement in reasonably sufficient time prior to public release to allow AnaptysBio to comment upon such announcement, prior to public release. In the case of press releases or other public communications required to be made by law, judicial order or stock exchange or quotation system rule, the Party making such press release or public announcement shall provide to the other Party a copy of the proposed press release or public announcement in written or electronic form upon such advance notice as is practicable under the circumstances for the purpose of allowing the notified Party to review and comment upon such press release or public announcement. Under such circumstances, the releasing Party shall not be obligated to delay making any such press release or public communication beyond the time when the same is required to be made. Each party understands and agrees that if Agreement is required to be filed with the SEC, such filing Party shall notify the other Party of such duty and limit such disclosure as reasonably requested by the other Party, including by redacting royalty and payment rates, amounts, mechanics and information and other financial and commercially sensitive information (and using reasonable efforts to give the other Party sufficient time to review and comment on any proposed disclosure). 9.5.3 Each Party may make public statements regarding this Agreement in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst calls, provided that any such public statement or press release: (a) is not inconsistent with prior public disclosures or public statements made in accordance with Sections 9.5.1 or 9.5.2 or as permitted by Section 9.3; and (b) does not reveal (i) information regarding the terms of this Agreement that have not previously been disclosed in accordance with Sections 9.5.1 or 9.5.2 or as permitted by Section 9.3 or (ii) nonpublic information about the other Party.


 
32 9.5.4 The Parties shall coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the filing of this Agreement (including redaction of certain provisions of this Agreement) with the SEC or other governmental agency or any stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party or its Affiliate are traded, and neither Party shall make any such filing unless the Parties have mutually agreed upon the provisions to be redacted (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld). Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to seek and obtain confidential treatment for the provisions of this Agreement that the Parties mutually agree to redact from such filing; provided that each Party shall ultimately retain ultimate discretion to disclose such information to the SEC or any stock exchange or other governmental agency (as the case may be) as such Party determines, based on advice of legal counsel, is required to be so disclosed. Except as expressly set forth in this Article 9, neither Party (or its Affiliates) shall be obligated to consult with or obtain approval from the other Party with respect to any filings with the SEC or any stock exchange or other governmental agency where such filings do not disclose Confidential Information of the other Party. 9.6 Scientific Publications. As between the Parties, AnaptysBio shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to make publications regarding any Compound or Product, including with respect to Product Data, results of Clinical Studies and studies conducted as part of Medical Affairs Activities carried out under this Agreement, including oral or poster presentations and abstracts. 10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 10.1 Patent Prosecution and Maintenance. AnaptysBio shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to Prosecute and Maintain all Licensed Patents, using counsel of AnaptysBio’s choice, at AnaptysBio’s sole expense. AnaptysBio shall keep Centessa reasonably informed of progress with regard to the Prosecution and Maintenance of all Licensed Patents in the Territory, including, for clarity, any requests for patent term adjustments, patent term extensions, supplementary protection certificates or their equivalents in the Territory. In addition, AnaptysBio shall provide Centessa with drafts of all proposed substantive correspondence to any patent authority to the extent related to such Licensed Patents in the Territory for Centessa’s review and comment at Centessa’s own cost prior to the submission of such proposed filings and correspondence. AnaptysBio shall consider in good faith Centessa’s comments related to such Licensed Patents prior to submitting such correspondence, provided that Centessa provides such comments no later than [***] prior to the proposed date of submission of such draft filings and correspondence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AnaptysBio shall have sole discretion on inclusion of any and all Licensed Patents in the Orange Book for any Product in the Territory. In the event that AnaptysBio intends to abandon or cease the Prosecution and Maintenance of any Licensed Patent covered by this Section 10.1 in the Territory (without initiation of the Prosecution and Maintenance of a substitution therefor), AnaptysBio shall provide reasonable prior written notice to Centessa of such intention to abandon or cease such Prosecution and Maintenance (which notice shall be given no later than [***] prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to any such Licensed Patent in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office). In such case, at Centessa’s sole discretion, upon written notice to AnaptysBio, Centessa may elect to continue the Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Licensed Patent in the Territory, at Centessa’s sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choice, in which case Centessa shall provide AnaptysBio with drafts of all proposed substantive correspondence to any patent authority to the extent related to such Licensed Patents in the Territory for AnaptysBio’s review and comment at


 
33 AnaptysBio’s own cost prior to the submission of such proposed filings and correspondence and shall consider in good faith AnaptysBio’s comments related to such Licensed Patents prior to submitting such correspondence, provided that AnaptysBio provides such comments no later than [***] prior to the proposed date of submission of such draft filings and correspondence. 10.2 Cooperation of the Parties. Each Party agrees to cooperate fully in the Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents pursuant to Section 10.1. Such cooperation includes, but is not limited to: (a) in the case of Centessa, executing all papers and instruments, or requiring its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors and using its commercially reasonable efforts to cause other Persons, to execute such papers and instruments, so as to effectuate the ownership of Licensed Patents, and to enable AnaptysBio to apply for and to prosecute patent applications in any country as permitted by Section 10.1, and (b) promptly informing the other Party of any matters coming to such Party’s attention that may affect the Prosecution and Maintenance of any such Patents provided that neither Party shall be required to provide legally privileged information with respect to such Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents unless and until procedures reasonably acceptable to such Party are in place to protect such privilege. 10.3 Third Party Infringement. Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing within [***] (except as expressly set forth below) of becoming aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Licensed Patent in the Territory (“Infringement”), including (a) any such alleged or threatened Infringement on account of a Third Party’s manufacture, use, import, offer for sale or sale of Products in the Field in the Territory, (b) a notification of an application filed pursuant to pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 262(k) (“aBLA”) or receipt of the copy of an aBLA pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 262(l)(1)(B), (c) a notification in advance of commercial marketing pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 262(l)(8), and (d) any certification filed in the United States under 21 U.S.C. §355(b)(2) or 21 U.S.C. §355(j)(2) (such certification, a “Patent Certification” and such infringement described in (a)-(d) and any other rights of action arising therefrom, collectively, “Competitive Infringement”). 10.3.1 Competitive Infringement. AnaptysBio shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any action or proceeding with respect to Competitive Infringement, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and, with respect to any Competitive Infringement of any Licensed Patent, Centessa shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice reasonably acceptable to AnaptysBio. At AnaptysBio’s request, Centessa shall join any action or proceeding brought by AnaptysBio under this Section 10.3.1, and AnaptysBio shall reimburse reasonable out- of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Centessa in connection therewith. Each Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status and progress of any action or proceeding brought by such Party with respect to Competitive Infringement in the Field in the Territory of any Licensed Patent, shall provide the other Party with drafts of all proposed substantive filings in such action or proceeding reasonably in advance of making such filings, and shall consider the other Party’s comments on such filings in good faith. 10.3.2 Cooperation. In the event AnaptysBio brings an infringement action in accordance with this Section 10.3, at the request of AnaptysBio, Centessa shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith, including by executing reasonably appropriate documents, joining (or furnishing a power of attorney solely for the purposes of


 
34 joining) as a party to the action if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action, providing reasonable access to relevant records and making its employees available at reasonable business hours; provided that AnaptysBio shall reimburse Centessa for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. AnaptysBio shall have the right to settle such action; provided that AnaptysBio shall not enter into any settlement admitting the invalidity or non-infringement of the applicable Patents or imposing any out-of-pocket costs or liability on Centessa without Centessa’s prior written consent. AnaptysBio shall (a) consult with Centessa as to the strategy for the prosecution of such action, (b) consider in good faith any comments from Centessa and (c) keep Centessa reasonably informed of any material steps taken and provide copies of all material documents filed in connection with such action. 10.3.3 Recoveries. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in connection with a cost- sharing arrangement, any recovery as a result of any action or proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.3, whether by way of settlement or otherwise, shall first be used to reimburse AnaptysBio for its documented, unreimbursed out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court, attorneys’ and professional fees) incurred in connection with such action or proceeding and then, following payment in full of all such costs to the AnaptysBio, to reimburse Centessa for its reasonable documented, unreimbursed out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court, attorneys’ and professional fees) incurred in connection with such action or proceeding. Any remainder of the recovery after reimbursement of the litigation costs and expenses of the Parties (“Remainder”) shall be retained by AnaptysBio; provided, however, that any Remainder of a recovery realized by either Party as a result of any action brought and controlled by such pursuant to this Section 10.3 that is specifically attributable to Competitive Infringement of a Licensed Patent shall be retained by AnaptysBio and be included as Net Sales of Product under this Agreement. 10.4 Patent Term Extension. AnaptysBio shall have the sole discretion, after consultation with Centessa, to determine which Licensed Patents, if any, are extended with respect to any Product in the Territory pursuant to U.S. Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984. Centessa and AnaptysBio shall each cooperate and use reasonable efforts to gain any such patent term extension in the Territory permitted under this Section 10.4. All filings for such extensions shall be made by the AnaptysBio. 10.5 Trademarks. 10.5.1 Product Trademark. AnaptysBio will, as between the Parties, have the sole right, but not the obligation, to develop a brand and promote the Products using trademarks, designs, copyrights, domain names, trade dress and trade names it determines appropriate in its sole discretion for the Products, which may vary within the Territory (each, a “Product Trademark”) and AnaptysBio shall own all right, title and interest in and to such Product Trademarks. 10.5.2 Domain Names; Websites. AnaptysBio will, as between the Parties, have the sole right, but no obligation, to select, register and maintain all domain names and websites used in connection with the Commercialization of the Products in the Field in the Territory, and AnaptysBio shall own all rights, title and interest in such product domain names and websites. Nothing herein (i) shall impact Centessa’s ownership of any domain names and websites owned, used or maintained by Centessa as at the Effective Date (“Centessa Domain”), and (ii) grants any


 
35 license, right of use or transfer ownership in any Centessa Domain to AnaptysBio nor imposes an obligation on Centessa to license or grant rights of use in or transfer ownership of any Centessa Domain and nor imposes any restrictions on Centessa’s ownership, use or maintenance of Centessa Domain. 10.5.3 Enforcement. AnaptysBio will, as between the Parties, have the sole right, but no obligation, to defend and enforce the Product Trademarks. 10.6 Recording of the Agreement at Registries. AnaptysBio may, at its own cost, record the license granted to it under this Agreement at the relevant registries in the Territory and Centessa shall (and shall ensure that Capella Bioscience Ltd shall) provide all reasonable assistance to enable AnaptysBio to achieve this. 11. TERMINATION 11.1 Expiration. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and, subject to earlier termination in accordance with this Article 11, and continue in full force and effect until the date of the last-to-expire Royalty Term for any Product (the “Term”). Following such expiration (but not termination) of this Agreement, AnaptysBio shall have a fully paid-up, non-exclusive license under the Licensed Know-How to conduct research and to Develop, Commercialize, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import the Product in the Territory for use in the Field. 11.2 Termination by AnaptysBio. AnaptysBio may terminate this Agreement, in its sole discretion, upon at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Centessa. 11.3 Termination for Material Breach. Either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) if such other Party has materially breached any of its obligations (including a failure to perform with respect thereto) under this Agreement and has not cured such breach within [***] after notice from the non-breaching Party requesting cure of such breach. If the breach is not non-curable, is not for non-payment, and cannot reasonably be cured with [***], then the cure period shall be extended as reasonably necessary to cure such breach; provided that the breaching Party provides the non- breaching Party with a detailed plan and timeline to cure such breach within such extended cure period, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach in accordance with such plan. Unless the breaching Party has cured or remedied any such breach prior to the expiration of the applicable period, such termination shall become effective upon the breaching Party’s receipt of the written notice of termination. If the alleged breaching Party contests in good faith the existence or materiality of any alleged breach, or the failure to cure, during any cure period, and initiates the dispute resolution procedure in accordance with Article 14, then the non-breaching Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.3, and the applicable cure period shall be tolled, until such dispute has been resolved in accordance with Article 14 with a determination that the breaching Party has materially breached its obligations under this Agreement. During the pendency of such dispute and the Post-Dispute Cure Period (as defined below), all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder. If, as a result of the application of such dispute resolution procedures, the Breaching Party is determined to be in


 
36 material breach of one (1) or more of its material obligations under this Agreement (an “Adverse Ruling”), then the Breaching Party shall have [***] (or such longer period as the court issuing the Adverse Ruling may specify) to complete the actions specified by the Adverse Ruling to cure such material breach, or if such compliance cannot be fully achieved within such [***] period, as soon thereafter as reasonably possible using the Breaching Party’s diligent efforts not to exceed an additional [***] (“Post-Dispute Cure Period”). In the event the Breaching Party fails to remedy such material breach during the Post-Dispute Cure Period, the Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to immediately terminate by written notice the Agreement following the expiry of the Post- Dispute Cure Period. The Parties agree that, termination pursuant to this Section 11.3 is a remedy to be invoked only if the breach cannot be adequately remedied through a combination of specific performance during the Post-Dispute Cure Period, or otherwise in a manner that the decision or order of a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 14.3 determine is fair and reasonable to the non-breaching Party, and the payment of money damages. 11.4 Termination for Insolvency. At any time before the expiration of the Royalty Term in a country, either Party may terminate the licenses granted under this Agreement together with any payment obligations with respect to activities conducted in such country if, at any time, the other Party files in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization (other than corporate restructuring) or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Party or of substantially all of its assets, or if the other Party is served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such other Party consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or such petition is not dismissed within [***] after the filing thereof, or if the other Party is a party to any dissolution or liquidation proceeding of such Party, or if the other Party makes an assignment of substantially all of its assets for the benefit of creditors. 11.5 Effect of Expiration or Termination. 11.5.1 Upon termination (but not expiration) of this Agreement by either Party pursuant to Section 11.2, 11.3 or 11.4, (a) all licenses granted to AnaptysBio hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, and (b) if this Agreement is terminated by Centessa , each Sublicense granted by AnaptysBio shall survive such termination and shall become a direct license by Centessa to such Sublicensee of AnaptysBio, having the same scope as such Sublicense (and no greater than the rights granted by Centessa to AnaptysBio hereunder), and on terms and conditions no less favorable to such Sublicensee than the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided that (i) such Sublicensee is in good standing and is not in default of such Sublicense or any applicable obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) Centessa will have no obligations under such direct license beyond those expressly set forth in this Agreement. 11.5.2 Upon the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall use diligent efforts to either (a) as soon as reasonably practicable, destroy all copies of such Confidential Information in the possession of the Receiving Party and confirm such destruction in writing to the Disclosing Party or (b) as soon as reasonably practicable, deliver to the Disclosing Party, at the Receiving Party’s expense, all copies of such Confidential Information in the possession of the Receiving Party, except to the extent such Confidential Information is necessary or reasonably useful to conduct surviving obligations or exercise surviving rights; provided that the Receiving Party shall be permitted to retain one (1) copy of the Disclosing Party’s


 
37 Confidential Information, as required by Applicable Law, or for litigation or archival purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Receiving Party to alter, modify, delete or destroy any electronic copy of files created automatically in the ordinary course of business pursuant to the Receiving Party’s standard electronic back-up and archival procedures so long as such electronic files are (i) maintained only on centralized storage servers (and not on personal computers or devices), (ii) not readily accessible by the Receiving Party’s Representatives (other than its information technology specialists), and (iii) not otherwise accessed subsequently except with the written consent of the Disclosing Party or as required by Applicable Law or legal process. Any Confidential Information so retained under this Section 11.5.2 shall remain subject to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use set forth in Article 9 insofar as such information is retained by the Receiving Party. 11.5.3 Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement (including without limitation AnaptysBio’s payment obligations under Article 7) shall cease except as otherwise set forth in this Section 11.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement. 11.5.4 Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination, and the provisions of Articles 9, 11, 12, 14 and 15 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 11.6 Termination Not Sole Remedy. Termination is not the sole remedy under this Agreement and, whether or not termination is effected, all other remedies will remain available except as agreed to otherwise herein. 11.7 Abandonment. In the event of an Abandonment, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and all licenses granted to AnaptysBio hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect. [***]. 12. INDEMNIFICATION 12.1 Indemnification by AnaptysBio. AnaptysBio hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Centessa and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Centessa Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses and/or loss, including reasonable legal expense and attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), to which any Centessa Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any Third Party (each, a “Claim”) to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) the Development, use, Commercialization or other exploitation of Compound or Product by or on behalf of AnaptysBio or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees; (b) the breach by AnaptysBio of any provision of this Agreement (including any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by AnaptysBio herein); or (c) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any AnaptysBio Indemnitee; except, in each case ((a) through (c)), to the extent such Losses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Centessa Indemnitee or the breach by Centessa of any provision of this Agreement (including any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Centessa herein).


 
38 12.2 Indemnification by Centessa. Centessa hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold AnaptysBio and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a “AnaptysBio Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all Losses to which any AnaptysBio Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claim to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) the breach by Centessa of any provision of this Agreement (including any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Centessa herein); or (b) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Centessa Indemnitee; except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any AnaptysBio Indemnitee or the breach by AnaptysBio of any provision of this Agreement (including any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by AnaptysBio herein). 12.3 Procedure. In the event a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) seeks indemnification for any Claim under Section 12.1 or 12.2, the Indemnified Party shall: (a) inform the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such Claim as soon as reasonably practicable after it receives notice of the Claim (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Claim as provided in this Section 12.3 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually damaged as a result of such failure to give notice); (b) permit the Indemnifying Party to assume direction and control of the defense of the Claim (including the right to settle the Claim solely for monetary consideration); and (c) cooperate as reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) in the defense of the Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense within the earlier of [***] days after receiving notice of the Claim from the Indemnified Party and any court mandated deadlines relating to the defense of the Claim, the Indemnified Party may control such defense and, without limiting the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending itself within [***] days after receipt of any invoice therefor from the Indemnified Party. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its associated indemnitees (i.e., Centessa Indemnitees or AnaptysBio Indemnitees, as applicable) from all liability with respect thereto, that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or that acknowledges fault by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. 13. FORCE MAJEURE Each Party shall be held excused from liability to the other Party for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than payment obligations to the other Party) to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from unforeseeable causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, including but not limited to, as applicable, fire, floods, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil commotions, pandemics, endemics, strikes, lockouts or other

DISPUTE RESOLUTION 14.1 Exclusive Dispute Resolution Mechanism. The Parties agree that, except as expressly set forth in Section 1.87 (for the methodology for calculating Net Sales for Combination Products), the procedures set forth in this Article 14 shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving any dispute, controversy, or claim that may arise from time to time pursuant to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any Party’s rights or obligations hereunder or any questions regarding the formation, existence, validity, enforceability, performance, interpretation, tort, breach or termination hereof (collectively, “Disputes”) that cannot be resolved through good faith negotiation between the Parties. 14.2 Resolution by Senior Executives.
