In no event will any particular amount identified above be deducted more than once in calculating Net Sales (i.e., no “double counting” of deductions). To the extent that any Selling Party receives consideration other than or in addition to cash upon the sale or disposition of a Licensed Product, Net Sales will be calculated based on the average price charged for such Licensed Product, as applicable, during the preceding royalty period, or in the absence of such sales, based on such Selling Party’s reasonable determination of the fair market value of the Licensed Product. The permitted deductions of Section 1.130(a) through Section 1.130(h) above will be fairly allocated to the Licensed Product and, as between the Licensed Product and other products or services of such Selling Party will not be inappropriately allocated. Such Selling Party will not attempt to reduce compensation rightly due to Arrowhead under this Agreement by shifting compensation otherwise payable to such Selling Party from a Third Party with respect to any Licensed Product to another product or service for which no royalties are payable to Arrowhead under this Agreement. For purposes of the definition of Net Sales: if any Licensed Product under this Agreement is sold in the form of a Combination Product, and such Licensed Product and any other Active Ingredient(s) contained within such Combination Product are sold separately, the Net Sales of such Combination Product for any period shall be determined by multiplying
18 the Net Sales (as defined above in this Section 1.130) of such Combination Product for such period by the fraction, A/(A+B) where A is the weighted (by sales volume) average gross sale price in a particular country of such Licensed Product during such period when sold separately in finished form and B is the weighted average gross sale price in such country during such period of such other Active Ingredient(s) are sold separately in finished form. In the event that the weighted average gross sale price of such Licensed Product for a period can be determined but the weighted average gross sale price of such other Active Ingredient(s) cannot be determined, the Net Sales of such Licensed Product for such period shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of such Combination Product for such period by the fraction A/C where A is the weighted average gross sale price of such Licensed Product during such period when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average gross sale price of such Combination Product during such period. In the event that the weighted average gross sale price of such other Active Ingredient(s) for a period can be determined but the weighted average gross sale price of such Licensed Product for such period cannot be determined, the Net Sales of such Licensed Product for such period shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of such Combination Product for such period by a fraction determined by the following formula: one (1) minus B/C where B is the weighted average gross sale price of such other Active Ingredient(s) during such period when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average gross sale price of such Combination Product during such period. In the event that the weighted average gross sale price of both such Licensed Product and such other Active Ingredient(s) in such Combination Product cannot be determined for a period, the Net Sales of such Licensed Product for such period shall be based upon the relative value contributed by each component. GSK (or the applicable other Selling Party) shall propose a value for the weighted average gross sale price of such Licensed Product and such other Active Ingredient(s) in such Combination Product. Within twenty (20) Business Days after GSK, on behalf of itself or the applicable other Selling Party, submits such proposal to Arrowhead, the Parties shall meet to discuss, acting reasonably and in good faith, and agree upon (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld) the weighted average gross sales price of such Licensed Product and such other Active Ingredient(s) in such Combination Product for such period. The weighted average gross sale price for such Licensed Product, such other Active Ingredient(s), or such Combination Product, as applicable, for such period shall be calculated once each Calendar Year and such price shall be used during all applicable reporting periods for the entire following Calendar Year. When determining the weighted average gross sale price of a Licensed Product, any other Active Ingredient(s), or any Combination Product for a period, the weighted average gross sale price shall be calculated by dividing the sales dollars (translated into US Dollars) by the units of active ingredient sold during the twelve (12) months (or the number of months sold in a partial Calendar Year) of the preceding Calendar Year for such Licensed Product, such other Active Ingredient(s), or Combination Product. In the initial Calendar Year, a forecasted weighted average gross sale price will be used for such Licensed Product, such other Active Ingredient(s), or Combination Product. Any over or under payment due to a difference between forecasted and actual weighted average gross
19 sale prices will be paid or credited in the first applicable payment of the following Calendar Year. Sales of Licensed Products among GSK and any other Selling Parties (including sales by any such Selling Party to GSK or another Selling Party) for resale by such entity to a Third Party shall not be deemed a sale for purposes of this definition of “Net Sales”; provided that the resale of such Licensed Products by such entity to a Third Party (other than a Sublicensee, but including wholesalers and distributors) shall be deemed a sale for the purposes of this definition of “Net Sales.” If GSK or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees purchases Licensed Products from a Selling Party that is the end user of such Licensed Product, then Net Sales shall include the value of such sale, calculated at the higher of (i) the actual price paid in such sale for such Licensed Product or (ii) the fair market value of such Licensed Product at the time of such sale (as determined by the mutual agreement of the Parties, acting reasonably and in good faith). Transfers or dispositions of any Licensed Product for no monetary consideration: (A) in connection with patient assistance programs; (B) for charitable or promotional purposes; (C) for preclinical, clinical, regulatory or governmental purposes or under so-called “named patient” or other limited access programs; or (D) for use in any tests or studies, including Clinical Trials, reasonably necessary to comply with any Applicable Law, regulation or request by a Regulatory Authority shall not, in each case ((A) through (D)), be deemed sales of such Licensed Product for purposes of this definition of “Net Sales”. 1.131 “New Arising Know-How” means any and all Know-How that is discovered, developed, generated, invented, derived, created, conceived or reduced to practice during the Term, at any time on or after the Amended Effective Date, by or on behalf of one (1) or more Personnel of a Party (or any of its Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees or subcontractors), either alone or jointly with one (1) or more Personnel of the other Party (or any of its Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees or subcontractors), in each case, in the performance of activities under this Agreement. 1.132 “New [***] IP” means, collectively, the New [***] Know-How and the New [***] Patent Rights. 1.133 “New [***] Know-How” has the meaning set forth in Section 8.2.3(a). 1.134 “New [***] Patent Rights” has the meaning set forth in Section 8.2.3(b). 1.135 “Non-Bankrupt Party” has the meaning set forth in Section 13.3.1. 1.136 “Non-Breaching Party” has the meaning set forth in Section 13.2.1. 1.137 “Notice of Claim” has the meaning set forth in Section 11.2.1. 1.138 “Original Agreement” has the meaning set forth in the recitals above. 1.139 “Original Effective Date” means October 29, 2018.

If such attendance would result in the disclosure of Arrowhead’s, its Affiliate’s or a Third Party’s confidential information unrelated to the subject matter of this Agreement, an appropriate confidentiality agreement covering such unrelated subject matter shall be entered into. In the event that any Audited Site is found to be non-compliant with one or more Applicable Laws, Good Laboratory Practice, Good Clinical Practice, Good Manufacturing Practice, or current standards for pharmacovigilance practice, Arrowhead shall, promptly and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after receiving notification of such non- compliance, submit to GSK a CAPA plan and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause such non-compliant Audited Site to implement such CAPA plan promptly after submission.

45 (c) If Arrowhead (or its Affiliate) is successful in obtaining such sublicensable rights or licenses under the applicable Arrowhead Third Party Agreement in accordance with Section 6.5.3(b), then, GSK shall have the right, by delivery of notice to Arrowhead, to elect to take a sublicense under such relevant Know-How or Patent Rights in-licensed by Arrowhead (or its Affiliate) under such Arrowhead Third Party Agreement, in which case GSK agrees to comply, and will cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to comply, with any applicable obligations under such Arrowhead Third Party Agreement that apply to GSK (or its Affiliates or Sublicensees) as sublicensees thereunder and of which GSK was informed by Arrowhead in writing prior to such election by GSK pursuant to this Section 6.5.3(c), including any obligation to make GSK’s pro rata share of such payments directly attributable to the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of any Licensed Construct or Licensed Product as mutually agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section 6.5.3(b).

All undisputed amounts payable by GSK to Arrowhead (or its Third Party designee under a Securitization Transaction pursuant to Section 15.1.2, as applicable) under this Agreement shall be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Article VII, following receipt by GSK of a valid invoice in accordance with Schedule 7.1. 7.2 Royalty Reporting and Payments. Royalty payments due shall be payable in United States dollars [***] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter during the applicable Royalty Term. Each payment of royalties due under this Agreement will be accompanied with a royalty report setting forth, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country- by-country basis, (a) the amount of Net Sales of Licensed Product by GSK, its Affiliates and Sublicensees in US dollars; and (b) a calculation of the aggregate amount of royalties owed based on such Net Sales, including the application of the reductions or credits, if any, made in accordance with the terms of Section 6.4.5. 7.3 Remittance. All payments made by a Party (the “Payor Party”) to the other Party (the “Payee Party”) hereunder shall be made by deposit of US Dollars in the requisite amount by electronic wire transfer of immediately available funds directly to such bank account as the Payee Party may from time to time designate by reasonable notice to the Payor Party. With respect to amounts payable hereunder not denominated in US Dollars, the Payor Party shall convert applicable amounts in foreign currency into US Dollars using its standard conversion method consistent with its applicable Accounting Standard in a manner consistent with the Payor Party’s customary and usual conversion procedures used in preparing its audited financial reports applied on a consistent basis; provided that such procedures use a widely accepted source of published exchange rates. Based on the resulting sales in US Dollars, the then-applicable royalties shall be calculated. The Parties may vary the method of payment set forth herein at any time upon mutual agreement, and any change shall be consistent with the Applicable Law at the place of payment or remittance.
46 7.4 Taxes. 7.4.1 Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all Taxes imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the collaborative efforts of the Parties under this Agreement. 7.4.2 If any amounts to be paid by GSK under this Agreement (including any milestone or royalty payments) are subject to any withholding or similar Tax, GSK shall provide Arrowhead advance notice (to the extent commercially reasonable such advance notice shall be at least fifteen (15) Business Days in advance of such withholding) and shall (a) pay such withholding or similar Tax to the proper taxing Governmental Authority and furnish Arrowhead with proof of such payment; and (b) remit the remaining amount of such payments to Arrowhead after deducting any such withholding or similar Tax paid by GSK.

Arrowhead will provide GSK with any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for GSK not to withhold Tax or to withhold Tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Each Party will provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Law, of withholding Taxes, VAT and Indirect Taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding Taxes or VAT and Indirect Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an action (including any license or sublicense of any rights or performance of any obligations under this Agreement, a change in the applicable taxing jurisdiction or any failure to comply with Applicable Law or filing or record retention requirements) by either Party or any of its Affiliates causes any new or increased withholding Tax liability that would not have been imposed in the absence of such action, such Party causing the new or increased withholding Tax liability shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and its Affiliates from the amount of such additional or increased withholding Tax (except to the extent that such other Party or its Affiliates is entitled to a refund of such withheld Taxes or entitled to credit such withheld Taxes against Taxes which such other Party or its Affiliates would otherwise be required to pay). Within five (5) Business Days following the Amended Effective Date of this Agreement, Arrowhead will deliver to GSK an accurate and complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and such form shall be updated and renewed as required by Applicable Law. 7.4.3 All amounts payable under or in connection with this Agreement are exclusive of VAT and Indirect Taxes. Any VAT and Indirect Taxes payable on any amount paid hereunder shall be paid by GSK at the same time as the payment or provision of such consideration to which it relates, subject to the production of a VAT and Indirect Taxes valid invoice in accordance with Section 7.1. Each Party agrees that it shall provide to the other Party any information and copies of any documents within its control to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party for the purposes of (a) determining the amount of VAT and Indirect Taxes chargeable
47 under this Agreement, (b) establishing the “place of supply for VAT” purposes, or (c) complying with its VAT and Indirect Taxes reporting or accounting obligations. 7.4.4 Arrowhead warrants that Arrowhead is resident for Tax purposes in the United States and that Arrowhead is entitled to relief from United Kingdom income Tax under the terms of the double tax agreement between the UK and the United States. Arrowhead shall notify GSK promptly in writing in the event that Arrowhead ceases to be entitled to such relief. 7.5 Records and Audit Rights. 7.5.1 Maintenance of Records. Arrowhead shall keep (and shall cause its Affiliates and applicable Third Party (sub)contractors to keep) complete, true and accurate books and records in accordance with Accounting Standards in sufficient detail for GSK to determine the payments due and costs incurred under this Agreement. GSK shall keep (and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep) complete, true and accurate books and records in accordance with Accounting Standards in sufficient detail to permit Arrowhead to confirm the accuracy of GSK’s financial records related to the royalty calculations and calculations of Net Sales hereunder. Each Party will keep such books and records in accordance with Applicable Law and for at least three (3) years following the date of the payment to which they pertain. In the event that GSK is required to reimburse Out-of-Pocket Costs or other costs to Arrowhead, Arrowhead shall provide GSK with proof of such costs upon GSK’s request. 7.5.2 Audit Right. Upon the written request of a Party (as applicable, the “Auditing Party”), not more than once every two (2) Calendar Years, the other Party (the “Audited Party”) shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally recognized standing selected by the Auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the Audited Party to have confidential access during normal business hours to such of the records of the Audited Party and its applicable Affiliates or Third Party sublicensees or subcontractors as may be reasonably necessary for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of any payments made under this Agreement for any period ending not more than three (3) years prior to the date of such request. For clarity, in the event that GSK is the Audited Party, access shall be limited to records reasonably necessary for the sole purpose of verifying the royalty and Net Sales calculations hereunder. An audit of the records relating to a particular Calendar Year may be conducted not more than once. The accounting firm shall provide the Audited Party a copy of its report prior to sharing it with the Auditing Party in order to allow the Audited Party to provide the accounting firm with justifying remarks for inclusion, at the accounting firm’s sole discretion, in the report prior to sharing the report with the Auditing Party. The accounting firm shall provide each Party, at the same time, a correct and complete copy of the final report summarizing the final results of such audit, which shall be treated as the Audited Party’s Confidential Information. The Auditing Party shall obligate its accounting firm to keep the Audited Party’s information confidential and shall, at the request
48 of the Audited Party, cause the Auditing Party’s accounting firm to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to commencing any such audit. 7.5.3 Audit Fees. The fees charged by an accounting firm engaged by a Party in accordance with Section 7.5.2 shall be paid by the Auditing Party; provided, however, that if the audit uncovers (a) with respect to GSK as the Audited Party, any underpayment of any undisputed payment obligation of GSK or (b) with respect to Arrowhead as the Audited Party, overpayment by GSK, in each case ((a) or (b)), exceeding [***]percent ([***]%) of the total amount due in accordance with this Agreement for the audited period, then, the fees of such accounting firm shall be paid by such Audited Party. Any overpayments discovered by such audit or otherwise shall be fully creditable against amounts payable by GSK in any subsequent payment periods, plus interest calculated in accordance with Section 7.6. Any underpayments discovered by such audit or otherwise will be paid promptly by GSK within [***] days following GSK’s receipt of the report of the accounting firm and a valid invoice from Arrowhead in accordance with Section 7.1, which invoice shall be delivered following the delivery of such accounting firm’s written report to the Audited Party such accounting firm’s written report, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties, plus interest calculated in accordance with Section 7.6. 7.6 Interest on Late Payments. The Payor Party will pay the Payee Party interest on any undisputed payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate equal to [***]per annum or, if lower, the maximum applicable legal rate under Applicable Law, calculated on the total number of days payment is delinquent; provided that, for clarity, to the extent that any such delay in payment of any amount payable by GSK under this Agreement is due to any failure by Arrowhead to deliver a valid invoice to GSK in accordance with Section 7.1 or otherwise to respond to communications from GSK regarding the interpretation or dispute of the terms of such payment, no interest will be payable by GSK with respect to such delay in remitting such payment.

(a) As between the Parties, during the Term, GSK shall have the initial right, at its expense and in its own name (or in the name of Arrowhead as may be required under Applicable Law), to bring any infringement suit or other enforcement Action involving (i) any alleged infringement by a Third Party of (A) any Specific Arrowhead Patent Rights, or (B) any Joint Agreement Patent Rights, or (ii) any alleged misappropriation by a Third Party of any Arrowhead Know-How or Joint Agreement Know-How providing any Regulatory Exclusivity Rights for any such Licensed Product in the Territory, (each ((i) or (ii)), a “Product Infringement”), in each case, by counsel of its own choice. Arrowhead will cooperate with GSK as GSK may reasonably request in connection with any such Action initiated under this Section 8.4.2(a), including by becoming a party to such action at GSK’s cost; provided that GSK shall reimburse Arrowhead for its Out-of-Pocket Costs reasonably incurred in connection with rendering such assistance. If GSK declines to initiate such an enforcement Action against any unabated Product Infringement within [***]Business Days of receiving a notice with respect to such Product Infringement, including pursuant to Section 8.4.1, GSK shall notify Arrowhead, in which case, subject to discussion with GSK and consideration in good faith of any rationale provided by GSK as to why GSK elected not to take such action and GSK’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), Arrowhead shall thereafter have the right (but not the obligation) at Arrowhead’s expense and in its own name, to initiate such Action by counsel of its choice, and GSK shall cooperate with Arrowhead as Arrowhead may reasonably request, including by becoming a party to such action at Arrowhead’s cost, and Arrowhead shall reimburse GSK for its Out-of-Pocket Costs reasonably incurred in connection with rendering such assistance. (b) As between the Parties, during the Term, Arrowhead shall have the initial right, at its expense and in its own name, to bring any infringement suit or other enforcement Action on account of any alleged infringement by a Third
58 Party of any General Arrowhead Patent Rights by counsel of its own choice. GSK will cooperate with Arrowhead as Arrowhead may reasonably request in connection with any such Action initiated under this Section 8.4.2(b), including by becoming a party to such action at Arrowhead’s cost; provided that Arrowhead shall reimburse GSK for its Out-of-Pocket Costs reasonably incurred in connection with rendering such assistance. If Arrowhead declines to initiate such an enforcement Action against any unabated infringement of such Arrowhead Patent Right within [***] Business Days of receiving a notice with respect to such alleged Third Party infringement (or such shorter period if [***] Business Days’ notice is not feasible), including pursuant to Section 8.4.1, Arrowhead shall notify GSK, in which case, subject to discussion with Arrowhead and consideration in good faith of any rationale provided by Arrowhead as to why Arrowhead elected not to take such action and Arrowhead’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), GSK shall thereafter have the right (but not the obligation) at GSK’s expense and in its own name, to initiate such Action by counsel of its choice, and Arrowhead shall cooperate with GSK as GSK may reasonably request, including by becoming a party to such action at GSK’s cost, and GSK shall reimburse Arrowhead for its Out-of-Pocket Costs reasonably incurred in connection with rendering such assistance. (c) A settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of an Action brought by a Party under this Section 8.4.2 may be entered into without the consent of the other Party; provided that such settlement, consent judgment, or other disposition does not admit the invalidity or unenforceability of any Patent Rights owned or Controlled by the other Party; provided, further, that any rights granted to a Third Party to continue any activity upon which such Action was based in such settlement, consent judgment, or other disposition shall be limited to the Third Party’s product or activity that was the subject of the Action. (d) Damages recovered and any other amounts awarded in any Actions brought by a Party under this Section 8.4.2 shall be (i) first, allocated [***] and (ii) thereafter, [***]. 8.4.3 Cooperation on Enforcement Actions. Each Party acknowledges that the outcome of any infringement suit or other enforcement Action on account of any Third-Party infringement of any Arrowhead Patent Right licensed to GSK under Section 2.1 or any Joint Agreement Patent Rights may detrimentally impact the scope, validity, or enforceability of such Patent Right with respect to potential Third Party infringements. Accordingly, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to any infringement suit or other enforcement Action on account of any Third-Party infringement of any Arrowhead Patent Right or any Joint Agreement Patent Rights. For clarity, subject to Section 8.4.2, neither Arrowhead nor GSK will be required to enforce any Arrowhead Patent Right or any Joint Agreement Patent Rights against any Third Party infringement.
59 8.5 Maintenance of Freedom to Operate. The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to avoid infringing any Third Party’s Patent Rights in conducting any Development activities under the Development Plan. Each Party shall promptly notify the Prosecution Contacts, in the event such Party becomes aware of any Third Party’s Patent Rights that may pertain to any Development activities of the Parties. 8.6 Patent Term Extensions. During the Term, upon GSK’s written request (which shall be by a notice identifying the date of the applicable Regulatory Approval of a Licensed Product and the deadline for filing a Patent Term Extension), the Prosecuting Party shall use reasonable efforts, in each country or jurisdiction where Regulatory Approval for any such Licensed Product has been obtained, and if the Applicable Law of such country or jurisdiction permits application for a Patent Term Extension, to apply, at the reasonable direction of GSK’s designated patent counsel, for a Patent Term Extension for a patent within the Arrowhead Patent Rights including a Valid Claim Covering such Licensed Product, which patent (if any) shall be selected at GSK’s reasonable judgment after considering the opinion of GSK’s patent counsel regarding its eligibility for a Patent Term Extension. GSK shall have the right to: (a) identify in any list of Patent Rights in a Drug Application the applicable Arrowhead Patent Rights as GSK reasonably believes is appropriate; (b) commence suit for any Product Infringement of any such Arrowhead Patent Rights under Applicable Law as permitted under Section 8.4.2; and (c) exercise any rights that may be exercisable by a patent owner, including applying for a Patent Term Extension, of any Arrowhead Patent Rights pertaining to an approved Licensed Product Commercialized by GSK hereunder. Arrowhead agrees to cooperate with GSK and its Affiliate and Sublicensees, upon GSK’s reasonable request in the exercise of the authorizations granted under this Section 8.6, and Arrowhead shall execute such documents and take such additional action as GSK may reasonably request in connection therewith, including, if requested by GSK, permitting Arrowhead to be joined as a party in any suit for Product Infringement brought by GSK hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.4.2, provided that GSK shall reimburse Arrowhead all reasonable Out-of- Pocket Costs incurred by Arrowhead in taking such action. 8.7 Defense of Third Party Actions. 8.7.1 If either Party or any of its Affiliates becomes aware of any Action initiated or threatened by a Third Party against either Party (or any of their respective Affiliates) that claims that any Licensed Construct or Licensed Product, or its Development, Manufacture or Commercialization, infringes such Third Party’s Patent Rights or misappropriates such Third Party’s Know-How (but excluding any such Action with respect to a Combination Product to the extent that the underlying claim of such Third Party relates to any other Active Ingredient (other than a Licensed Construct) with respect to such Combination Product, as applicable) (any such Action, a “Third Party Action”), such Party or such Affiliate, through the Patent Working Group, shall promptly notify the other Party of all details regarding such claim or action that is reasonably available to such Party or such Affiliate. 8.7.2 As between the Parties, subject to the respective indemnity obligations of the Parties set forth in Section 11.1, GSK shall have the sole and exclusive right and
60 authority (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion and at its own cost and expense, to defend against, and select counsel for, any Third Party Action with respect to any Licensed Product in the Territory and to compromise or settle such Third Party Action; provided that GSK shall not settle or otherwise compromise any Third Party Action in a way that imposes any costs or liability on, or involves any admission by, Arrowhead or any of its Affiliates, in each case, without Arrowhead’s prior written consent. Arrowhead and its Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate, at GSK’s request and expense, in connection with the defense of any such Third Party Action. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a judgment in a Third Party Action is entered against GSK or any of its Affiliates and an appeal is available, as between the Parties, GSK shall have the sole and exclusive right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion and at its own cost and expense, to file such appeal, and if Applicable Law requires Arrowhead’s or any of its Affiliates’ involvement in an appeal, Arrowhead or such Affiliate shall be a nominal party of the appeal and shall provide reasonable cooperation to GSK and its Affiliates, at GSK’s request and expense. 8.8 Patent Working Group. The Parties shall establish a patent working group comprising an equal number of up to three representatives of each Party (“Patent Working Group”), including each Party’s respective Prosecution Contact, for the sole purposes of alignment of activities under this Article VIII including the Parties’ respective responsibilities for Prosecuting and enforcing Arrowhead Patent Rights and Joint Agreement Patent Rights, or any other Patent Rights matters as the Parties may mutually agree upon. The Patent Working Group may hold meetings as appropriate to discuss such patent matters, in each case, at such frequency, time, place and manner as may be mutually agreed by the Parties’ respective Prosecution Contacts. 8.9 Common Interest Agreement. All non-public information exchanged between the Parties or between a Party’s outside patent counsel and the other Party regarding the Prosecution, enforcement and defense of the Arrowhead Patent Rights, Joint Agreement Patent Rights or otherwise related to any Licensed Construct or Licensed Product, and all shared information regarding analyses or opinions of Third Party Patent Rights or Know- How, shall be deemed Confidential Information. The Parties agree and acknowledge that they have not waived, and nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver of, any legal privilege concerning any such Patent Rights, Know-How or Confidential Information, including privilege under the common interest doctrine and similar or related doctrines. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Parties agree that a separate agreement memorializing this understanding would be advantageous, the Parties shall negotiate and enter into a common interest agreement reflecting this understanding or any other common interest agreement as the Parties may mutually agree, including with respect to any product liability for a Licensed Product. 8.10 Product Trademarks. Arrowhead hereby represents and warrants to GSK, as of the Original Effective Date (as though made then under the terms then in effect under the Original Agreement) and as of the Amended Effective Date, that it does not own or otherwise Control any Product Trademark Rights relating to Licensed Constructs, including any trademark applications or registrations or domain names. GSK shall have
61 (directly and through its Affiliates and Sublicensees Commercializing Licensed Products) the right to brand, at its discretion, the Licensed Products using trademarks and trade names selected at its discretion and to file for, obtain, and maintain at its discretion and cost Product Trademark Rights in its own name. No right, express or implied, is granted by this Agreement to either Party to use in any manner the name or any other trade name or trademark of the other Party in connection with the performance of this Agreement or otherwise. 8.11 GSK Patent Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, as between the Parties, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8.3.2 or Section 8.3.4 with respect to the Prosecution of GSK Agreement LC/LP Patent Rights, GSK shall have the sole right (but not the obligation) to pursue and direct, at its own cost and discretion, any Prosecution, enforcement or other Action with respect to any GSK Agreement Patent Rights or any other Patent Rights owned or otherwise Controlled (other than pursuant to any rights or licenses granted by Arrowhead under this Agreement) by GSK or any of its Affiliates and used in the performance of this Agreement. ARTICLE IX: CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICITY 9.1 Confidential Information. 9.1.1 Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, each Party agrees that during the Term and for ten (10) years thereafter, such Party shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, workers, contractors, advisors, consultants, agents or other representatives (“Representatives”), hold in confidence all non-public or confidential information relating to the business, operations, technical or scientific activities, compounds or products of the other Party or any of its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”), including any Know-How, that is disclosed or provided to such Party or any of its Affiliates (the “Receiving Party”) or any of its or their Representatives, or of which such Receiving Party or any of its Representatives becomes aware of, in connection with this Agreement (or the Existing Confidentiality Agreement, as applicable) (collectively, “Confidential Information”). The Receiving Party shall not disclose any of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any Third Party, except to its Representatives or any of its Sublicensees or permitted subcontractors, in each case, to the extent that such use or disclosure is for the purpose of performing the Receiving Party’s obligations, or exercising its rights, under this Agreement and who are bound by obligations of non-use and non- disclosure substantially similar to those set forth herein. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for any disclosure or use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of its obligations hereunder by such Representatives. The Receiving Party shall protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party using not less than the same care with which it treats its own confidential information, but at all times shall use at least reasonable care. Each Party shall (a) implement and maintain appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure or use of the other Party’s Confidential Information; (b) promptly notify the other Party of any unauthorized access or disclosure of such other Party’s
62 Confidential Information; and (c) cooperate with such other Party in the investigation and remediation of any such unauthorized access or disclosure. 9.1.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (a) [***] shall be deemed to be GSK’s Confidential Information and GSK shall be deemed to be the Disclosing Party and Arrowhead shall be deemed to be the Receiving Party with respect thereto; and (b) (i) the existence and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (ii) [***], in each case ((b)(i) or (b)(ii)), shall be deemed to be the Party’s joint Confidential Information, with both Parties deemed to be the Receiving Party of such Confidential Information, in all cases, unless and to the extent any such information is disclosed in any press release, presentation or other form of public disclosure permitted under and in accordance with Section 9.3 or Section 9.4, as applicable. 9.1.3 The restrictions on a Receiving Party’s disclosure and use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information set forth above in this Section 9.1 shall not apply to any particular Confidential Information to the extent that such Confidential Information: (a) was known by the Receiving Party prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party hereunder (as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s written records or other competent evidence); (b) is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement; (c) is disclosed without restriction to the Receiving Party by a Third Party having a legal right to make such disclosure without violating any confidentiality or non-use obligation that such Third Party has to the Disclosing Party; or (d) is independently developed by Personnel of the Receiving Party without reliance on or access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s written records or other competent evidence). 9.2 Permitted Use and Disclosures. 9.2.1 Notwithstanding Section 9.1, subject to the remainder of this Section 9.2, a Receiving Party may, in connection with performing its obligations or exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement, disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, including for purposes of: (a) Prosecuting Patent Rights in accordance with Article VIII; (b) prosecuting or defending litigation;
63 (c) conducting pre-clinical studies or Clinical Trials of any Licensed Product in accordance with this Agreement; (d) seeking or maintaining Regulatory Approval of any Licensed Product in accordance with this Agreement; or (e) to such Receiving Party’s actual or potential partners, acquirers, financing sources, licensors, (sub)licensees and their respective personnel, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by similar obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in Section 9.1. 9.2.2 In making any disclosures set forth in Section 9.2.1(a) through Section 9.2.1(d) above, the Receiving Party shall, where reasonably practicable, give such advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure requirement as is reasonable under the circumstances and will use its reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Disclosing Party in order to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed. In addition, in connection with any permitted filing by either Party of this Agreement with any Governmental Authority, the Receiving Party shall (a) endeavor to obtain confidential treatment of economic, trade secret information and such other information as may be requested by the Disclosing Party; (b) provide the Disclosing Party with the proposed confidential treatment request within a reasonable time for the Disclosing Party to provide comments, and the Receiving Party shall consider and incorporate such comments in good faith in connection with its submission of its confidential treatment request; and (c) submit the proposed disclosure in writing to the Disclosing Party as far in advance as reasonably practicable (and in no event less than [***] Business Days prior to the anticipated date of disclosure) so as to provide a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon and the Receiving Party shall incorporate such comments in good faith. 9.2.3 Notwithstanding Section 9.1, (a) the Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent required by Applicable Law or court order; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall first provide the Disclosing Party prior notice of such disclosure and give the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to quash such order or to obtain a protective order or confidential treatment requiring that the Confidential Information and documents that are the subject of such order or required to be disclosed be held in confidence by such court or Governmental Authority or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued or such disclosure was required by Applicable Law; provided, further, that the Confidential Information disclosed in response to such order or as required by Applicable Law shall be limited to the information that is legally required to be disclosed in response to such order or by such Applicable Law; and (b) the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent any such disclosure is, in the opinion of the Receiving Party’s counsel, required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the Receiving Party are listed (or to
64 which an application for listing has been submitted); provided that, in the event the Receiving Party is, in the opinion of its counsel, required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which its securities are listed (or to which an application for listing has been submitted) to make such a public disclosure, such Receiving Party shall submit the proposed disclosure to the Disclosing Party as far in advance as reasonably practicable so as to provide a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon. 9.3 Publicity. 9.3.1 Initial Press Releases. Each Party may issue its respective press release announcing this Agreement (including certain terms thereof) attached in Schedule 9.3.1 hereto following the Amended Effective Date. 9.3.2 Further Publicity. (a) Except as permitted pursuant to Section 9.2 or as expressly provided in Section 9.3.1, this Section 9.3.2(a), Section 9.3.2(b) or Section 9.4 in accordance with the terms therein, as applicable, neither Party shall issue any press release or public statement disclosing information relating to (a) with respect to both Parties, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the terms hereof; or (b) with respect to Arrowhead, the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Construct or Licensed Product in the Territory, in each case ((a) or (b)), without the prior written consent of such other Party. If a Party desires to make any such public announcement that would require the consent of the other Party in accordance with this Section 9.3.2, either directly or indirectly (such as through an Affiliate), such Party shall provide the other Party with a draft of the proposed announcement and provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment on the nature, text, and timing of such announcement, which shall be brief and factual. (b) Notwithstanding Section 9.3.2(a), GSK shall have the right to issue any press release or public statement disclosing information with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Construct or Licensed Product without requiring the prior written consent of Arrowhead. (c) Notwithstanding Section 9.3.2(a), but without limiting Arrowhead’s rights under Section 9.2, Arrowhead shall have the right to issue any press release, without requiring the prior written consent of GSK but subject to the terms of this Section 9.3.2(c), solely with respect to factual statements disclosing information with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Construct or Licensed Product in the Territory, in each case, solely to the extent that such information has already been made public through a press release issued by GSK or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees (provided that such previously publicized
65 information (i) is presented without changes to the substantive information provided in such initial press release by GSK or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, (ii) is still considered accurate and non-misleading and (iii) has not been superseded by other subsequent information known to Arrowhead (or any of its Affiliates) or otherwise subsequently publicly disclosed by GSK or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees); provided that, prior to issuing any such press release pursuant to this Section 9.3.2(c), Arrowhead shall submit the proposed press release in writing to GSK as far in advance as reasonably practicable (and in no event less than [***]Business Days prior to the anticipated date of release) so as to provide GSK a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and, upon GSK’s request, Arrowhead shall (A) delete any Confidential Information of GSK (or any of its Affiliates) from such press release; and (B) incorporate any other reasonable comments of GSK with respect thereto in good faith, as applicable. 9.4 Publications. Following the Amended Effective Date, Arrowhead shall not have the right to make any publications regarding the Development or Commercialization of any Licensed Construct or Licensed Product in the Territory, including to publish any results of any Clinical Trial or other Development activities conducted with respect to any Licensed Construct or Licensed Product, in each case, without the prior approval of GSK. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt, GSK shall have the right to make any publications regarding the Development or Commercialization of any Licensed Construct or Licensed Product in the Territory as it chooses, in its sole discretion, without the approval of Arrowhead, including any Confidential Information as reasonably required for GSK’ s compliance with its then- current policy on the registration and reporting of results of pharmaceutical company- sponsored Clinical Trials including disclosures made by GSK on clinicaltrials.gov; provided that (a) GSK shall submit such publication to Arrowhead at least [***] Business Days in advance of the intended submission for publication or presentation of such publication for Arrowhead’s review; (b) to the extent Arrowhead notifies GSK of any specific, reasonable objections to such publication within [***] Business Days following GSK submitting such publication to Arrowhead for review pursuant to the foregoing clause (a), based on concern regarding the specific disclosure of any Confidential Information of Arrowhead (or any of its Affiliates), as applicable, GSK will delete any such Confidential Information and, acting reasonably and in good faith, consider any other such objections, including whether it is necessary or advisable to delete any other information from such proposed publication; and (c) upon Arrowhead’s request, GSK shall delay any such publication or presentation as needed to preserve the patentability of any Confidential Information of Arrowhead (or any of its Affiliates); provided, further, that Arrowhead may elect, by delivery of written notice to GSK, to extend such publication review period for up to an additional [***] Business Days solely to the extent necessary to permit the preparation and filing of any such patent applications with respect to such Confidential Information of Arrowhead (or its Affiliates), as applicable. Arrowhead agrees to provide, and to cause its applicable subcontractors to provide, to GSK such assistance as reasonably requested in connection with fulfilling the requirements of such policy.
66 9.5 Equitable Relief. Due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information, the Parties agree that any breach or threatened breach by a Party of this Article IX with respect to the other Party’s Confidential Information will cause not only financial harm to the other Party, but also irreparable harm for which money damages will not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, the other Party shall be entitled, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies, to seek an injunction or similar equitable relief against any such breach or threatened breach by such Party without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond. ARTICLE X: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 10.1 Mutual Representations and Warranties.

All Pre-Existing Third Party Agreements listed in Schedule 1.163 remain in full force and effect as of the Original Execution Date or as of the Amended Effective Date, as applicable, except where noted otherwise in Schedule 1.163, and to its knowledge, Arrowhead and each Third-Party counterparty has been, and is, in compliance in all material respects with the terms thereof.

72 OTHER PARTY, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF LICENSED CONSTRUCTS OR LICENSED PRODUCTS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL OR THAT ANY PARTICULAR SALES LEVEL WITH RESPECT TO LICENSED PRODUCTS WILL BE ACHIEVED. 10.6 No Debarment. Each Party represents and warrants, as of the Amended Effective Date (and Arrowhead represents and warrants to GSK as of the Original Effective Date), that neither it nor any of its Affiliates has been debarred or is subject to debarment, and neither Party nor any of its Affiliates will use in any capacity, in connection with the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any products, any person who has been debarred pursuant to Section 306 of the United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or any foreign equivalent thereof, or who is the subject of a conviction described in such section. Each Party agrees to inform the other Party in writing immediately if it or any person who is performing activities hereunder is debarred or is the subject of a conviction described in Section 306 of the United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or any foreign equivalent thereof, or if any action, suit, claim, investigation or legal or administrative proceeding is pending or, to the best of such Party’s knowledge, is threatened, relating to the debarment or conviction of such Party or any person used in any capacity by such Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Construct or Licensed Products. 10.7 Compliance with Anti-Corruption Applicable Laws. Each Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Third Party subcontractors and sublicensees conducting activities hereunder to, comply with Anti-Corruption Laws. 10.8 Maintenance of Arrowhead Intellectual Property. During the Term, Arrowhead shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates to not) (a) assign, transfer, convey, encumber (through any liens, charges, security interests, mortgages or similar actions) or dispose of, or enter into any agreement with any Third Party to assign, transfer, convey, encumber (through lien, charge, security interest, mortgage or similar action) or dispose of, any of the Arrowhead Intellectual Property to any Third Party without the prior consent of GSK; or (b) fail to maintain any of the Arrowhead Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of business, and in compliance with Applicable Law, in each case ((a) or (b)), in any manner that would conflict with, limit the scope of or adversely affect in any material respect any of the rights or licenses granted to GSK under this Agreement, including under Section 2.1.1 and Section 2.1.2. During the Term, Arrowhead covenants (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) to ensure that any Arrowhead Intellectual Property is and remains Controlled by Arrowhead (or its Affiliates), such that Arrowhead maintains the full rights to grant the rights and licenses to the Arrowhead Intellectual Property to GSK as contemplated hereunder, including under Section 2.1.1 and Section 2.1.2. 10.9 Maintenance of GSK Agreement LC/LP IP. Subject to Section 8.3.4(g), during the Term, GSK shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates to not) (a) assign, transfer, convey,
73 encumber (through any liens, charges, security interests, mortgages or similar actions) or dispose of, or enter into any agreement with any Third Party to assign, transfer, convey, encumber (through lien, charge, security interest, mortgage or similar action) or dispose of, any of the GSK Agreement LC/LP IP to any Third Party without the prior consent of Arrowhead; or (b) fail to maintain any of the GSK Agreement LC/LP IP in the ordinary course of business, and in compliance with Applicable Law, in each case ((a) or (b)), in any manner that would conflict with, limit the scope of or adversely affect in any material respect any of the rights or licenses granted to Arrowhead under any such GSK Agreement LC/LP IP pursuant to this Agreement, including the licenses contemplated to be granted to Arrowhead under any such GSK Agreement LC/LP IP that constitute GSK Reversion IP as of the effective date of termination in accordance with Section 13.6.2, as applicable; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.9 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise restrict GSK’s (or any of its Affiliates’) rights (i) with respect to the Prosecution, enforcement or defense of such GSK Agreement LC/LP IP in accordance with Article VIII, (ii) to grant licenses or sublicenses (including through multiple tiers) to any Third Party under such GSK Agreement LC/LP IP during the Term, subject to Arrowhead’s rights and licenses under this Agreement, including the licenses of Section 13.6.2, or (iii) to otherwise use or practice any such GSK Agreement LC/LP IP, including in connection with the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or other Exploitation of any Licensed Constructs or Licensed Products under this Agreement. ARTICLE XI: INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE 11.1 Indemnification Obligation. Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and its Indemnified Persons (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Indemnified Party may become subject as a result of any Action brought by a Third Party against such Indemnified Party to the extent such Losses arise out of or are caused by: (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party or any of its Indemnified Persons, in each case in connection with the exercise of such Indemnifying Party’s rights, or performance of such Indemnifying Party’s obligations, under this Agreement; (b) the Indemnifying Party’s breach of any of its representations and warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement; (c) the violation of Applicable Law by the Indemnifying Party or any of its Indemnified Persons in connection with the exercise of such Indemnifying Party’s rights, or performance of such Indemnifying Party’s obligations, under this Agreement; (d) the Development or Manufacture of any Licensed Construct or Licensed Product under this Agreement by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party, or any of its Affiliates, Sublicensees or (sub)licensees, or any of its or their contractors; and (e) in the case of GSK as the Indemnifying Party, the Commercialization, of any Licensed Products by or on behalf of GSK or any of its Affiliates or its Sublicensees or any of its or their contractors; in each case ((a) through (e)), except to the extent that such Losses are covered by the other Party’s indemnification obligations under this Section 11.1, as applicable. For clarity, for purposes of this Section 11.1, in no event shall either Party (or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Sublicensees, (sub)licensees or contractors) be deemed to be acting on behalf of the other Party (or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Sublicensees, (sub)licensees or contractors).
74 11.2 Claims for Indemnification. 11.2.1 Notice. In the case of any Action for which an Indemnifying Party may be liable to an Indemnified Person under Section 11.1, the Indemnified Party shall as soon as practicable notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Action (a “Notice of Claim”). Failure or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to the Indemnified Party, except and only to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual harm to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Action. The Notice of Claim shall specify in reasonable detail the Action with respect to which such Indemnified Party or any of its Indemnified Persons intends to base a request for indemnification or reimbursement under Section 11.1. Failure to provide such reasonable detail will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to the Indemnified Party, except and only to the extent that such failure causes actual harm to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Action. The Indemnified Party shall enclose with the Notice of Claim a copy of all papers served with respect to such Action, if any. The Indemnified Party shall assume the defense, settlement or other disposal of such Action, unless it provides notice within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Indemnifying Party received the Notice of Claim that it waives its right to assume the defense of such Action and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice. Provided that the Indemnified Party has waived its right to assume the defense of an Action pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, subject to Section 11.2.3, the Indemnifying Party shall have the obligation to defend, settle and otherwise dispose of such Action. 11.2.2 Cooperation. The Parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such Action pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that (a) an Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to enter into or consent to the entry of any judgment or settlement in relation to any Action as provided in Section 11.2.3, and (b) in any event, an Indemnifying Party shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Section 11.2.2 as a result of any failure of the Indemnified Party to cooperate as provided in this Section 11.2.2, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such breach. The Parties shall also cooperate in any such defense by giving each other reasonable access to all non- privileged information relevant thereto to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. 11.2.3 Control by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes control of an Action in accordance with Section 11.2.1, (a) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Action, but the Indemnifying Party shall continue to control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, and (b) the Indemnifying Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Action to the extent such judgment or settlement (i) provides for equitable relief (or any other relief other than solely for money damages) against the Indemnified Party or any of its Indemnified Persons, or liability or obligation that cannot be assumed and performed by the Indemnifying
75 Party in full (without any recourse to the Indemnified Party and its Indemnified Persons), (ii) provides for any monetary relief that will not be fully discharged by the Indemnifying Party (without any recourse to the Indemnified Party and its Indemnified Persons) concurrently with the effectiveness of such judgment or settlement, (iii) does not effect a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its Indemnified Persons with respect to all claims in such Action (or the portion thereof to which the judgment or settlement relates), or (iv) that contains an admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party or its Indemnified Persons. 11.2.4 Interim Control. Unless and until the Indemnifying Party (if any) is determined with respect to any particular Action, the Party subject to such Action shall have the right to defend and control such Action, but shall not have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Action for which it would be seeking indemnification or reimbursement hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). 11.2.5 Unauthorized Settlements. The Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Action for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify or reimburse the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into, or any judgment that was consented to, by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent. 11.2.6 Allocation. If, in any Action under this Article XI, the Indemnified Party incurs an amount consisting of both Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is obliged to indemnify the Indemnified Party and Losses not covered by such indemnification, then, to the extent not otherwise determined in a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties agree to act in good faith and use their reasonable endeavours to determine a fair and reasonable allocation of such Losses. The allocation between the Parties of any such Losses, if not otherwise determined in a court of competent jurisdiction, shall, if the Parties do not reach agreement in writing on such allocation, be determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 14.3, The Parties or the arbitrator, as the case may be, shall make such allocation based on the indemnification and reimbursement principles set forth in this Article XI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall not be entitled to refer any Dispute with respect to Losses arising under an Action pursuant to this Section 11.2.6 to arbitration to the extent that the liability of either Party for such Losses is being contested in such Action (or any other Action that would be binding with respect to such first Action). 11.3 Mitigation. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall procure that its Indemnified Persons shall, in each instance, take reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses they suffer arising in
76 connection with any Action in respect of which they seek an indemnity from the other Party under this Agreement. 11.4 Insurance. 11.4.1 Each Party shall procure and maintain in full force and effect, at its own cost, insurance (or self-insure sufficiently to provide materially the same level and type of protection) adequate to cover its obligations and liabilities hereunder during the Term and for a period of [***] years thereafter, consistent with normal business practices of companies similarly situated. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. 11.4.2 Prior to the initiation of any Clinical Trial or related Development activities under this Agreement, the Party responsible for the applicable activity shall secure and maintain in full force and effect, at its own cost, Clinical Trial insurance (including any self-insured arrangements) in compliance with Applicable Law in those territories where Clinical Trials are conducted. 11.4.3 The Parties have the right to elect to self-insure all or part of the limits described above. Upon written request, each Party shall provide the other with a certificate of insurance evidencing the required coverage hereunder; provided, further, that if, at any time during the Term, a Party ceases to maintain the same level of insurance coverage with respect to such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party’s failure to maintain adequate insurance shall not relieve that Party of its obligations set forth in this Agreement. 11.5 Limitation of Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO (A) EACH PARTY’S RESPECTIVE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR LOSSES CAUSED BY OR ARISING OUT OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 11.1; (B) THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD OF A PARTY; OR (C) EITHER PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-USE OBLIGATIONS UNDER Article IX, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING FOR LOST REVENUES AND LOST PROFITS (WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT)), REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE), IN EACH CASE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR ANY BREACH HEREOF, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF, OR OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE ANTICIPATED THE POSSIBILITY OF, ANY SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE OR WHETHER SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE WAS REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.
77 ARTICLE XII: EXCLUSIVITY 12.1 Exclusivity. During the period commencing on the Amended Effective Date and ending upon the [***] anniversary thereof (the “Exclusivity Term”), Arrowhead shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to (a) alone or with any Affiliates or Third Parties, Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize any double-stranded RNAi Trigger designed to hybridize to the HBV genome to effect silencing through [***] (each of the foregoing, together with any construct, compound or product that contains or comprises such RNAi Trigger or Construct, a “Competing Product”); or (b) enter into an agreement or other arrangement with any Third Party pursuant to which Arrowhead or one of its Affiliates grants such Third Party any license or other rights to Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize a Competing Product, in each case ((a) or (b)), in the Field in the Territory. 12.2 Change of Control Exception. Notwithstanding Section 12.1, in the event that, during the Exclusivity Term, a Change of Control occurs with respect to Arrowhead or any of its Affiliates, and an Acquirer owns or has any license or other rights to any Competing Product that would otherwise cause Arrowhead to be in violation of its exclusivity obligations under Section 12.1, then, such Acquirer and any of such Acquirer’s Affiliates (but excluding Arrowhead and all of its Affiliates immediately prior to such Change of Control) will not be prohibited from Developing, Manufacturing or Commercializing such Competing Product as a result of Arrowhead’s exclusivity obligations under Section 12.1 for so as long as: 12.2.1 such Acquirer (and any such Affiliates) does not use, access or reference any Joint Agreement IP, GSK Agreement IP or any other Confidential Information of GSK in connection with the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of such Competing Product; and 12.2.2 such Acquirer institutes (with respect to itself and any such Affiliates) commercially reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to ensure the requirements set forth in Section 12.2.1 are met, including by (a) separating (i) any Personnel of such Acquirer (or any such Affiliates) conducting activities with respect to any Competing Product and (ii) any Personnel of Arrowhead (or any of its Affiliates immediately prior to such Change of Control) conducting any activities under this Agreement or who have access to any Joint Agreement IP, GSK Agreement IP or any other Confidential Information of GSK; and (b) the maintenance of separate lab notebooks and records and separate Personnel with respect to each of the activities under this Agreement and the activities with respect to such Competing Product. 12.3 Acquired Business Exception. Notwithstanding Section 12.1, in the event that, during the Exclusivity Term, Arrowhead or any of its Affiliates acquires any assets or business, whether accomplished by way of merger, business combination, asset purchase, stock purchase or otherwise (the “Acquired Business”), and such Acquired Business, immediately prior to such acquisition, owns, has or includes any license or other right to any Competing Product that would otherwise cause Arrowhead to be in violation of its exclusivity obligations under Section 12.1, then, Arrowhead will (a) notify GSK of such
78 Competing Product in writing no later than [***] days after the consummation of the acquisition of such Acquired Business; and (b) terminate the Exploitation of such Competing Product pursuant to Section 12.3.1 or divest such Competing Product pursuant to Section 12.3.2 (provided that Arrowhead shall specify which of the following it will perform in the notice provided pursuant to subsection (a) above, which decision will be final and binding on Arrowhead and its Affiliates); provided, further, that, during the pendency of any termination pursuant to Section 12.3.1 or divestiture pursuant to Section 12.3.2, as applicable, Arrowhead and its Affiliates also will comply will the requirements specified in Section 12.2.1 and Section 12.2.2 mutatis mutandis: 12.3.1 Arrowhead may elect to terminate the Exploitation of such Competing Product, in which case Arrowhead and its Affiliates will cease all Exploitation of such Competing Product as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within [***] days after the consummation of the acquisition of such Acquired Business, giving due consideration to ethical concerns and requirements under Applicable Law and any agreements with Third Parties; provided that Arrowhead shall notify GSK in writing of such completed termination; or 12.3.2 Arrowhead may elect to divest itself (or cause its Affiliate to divest itself) such Competing Product and notify GSK in writing of such completed divestiture; provided that such divestiture shall be completed within [***] months after the consummation of the acquisition of such Acquired Business. 12.4 Non-Controlling Business Exception. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in Section 12.1 will be construed as prohibiting the acquisition by Arrowhead or any of its Affiliates of any non-controlling equity interest in any Person that owns or has any license or other right to any Competing Product; provided that, as part of such transaction or a related transaction, (a) Arrowhead or such Affiliate is not granted any ownership, license, option or other interest or right in, as applicable, such Competing Product; (b) Arrowhead or such Affiliate is not granted any voting board seat or any other right to direct the management of such Person or the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of such Competing Product; and (c) such Person is not granted by Arrowhead or such Affiliate any license or right to use any Joint Agreement IP, GSK Agreement IP or any other Confidential Information of GSK in connection with the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of such Competing Product. 12.5 No Implied Exclusivity. Except for the restrictions expressly set forth in this Agreement, including as set forth in this Article XII and the exclusive licenses granted to GSK under Section 2.1.1 or Section 2.1.2, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to restrict the right of either Party or any of its Affiliates to engage in any business activity, investment or other opportunity anywhere in the world, including the right of Janssen or Arrowhead or any of their Affiliates to Develop and Commercialize any product that directly or indirectly competes with a Licensed Product in any field.
79 ARTICLE XIII: TERM AND TERMINATION 13.1 Agreement Term. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Article XIII, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Amended Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect, on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by- Licensed Product basis, until the expiration of the Royalty Term for the applicable Licensed Product in such country; provided that this Agreement shall expire in its entirety upon the last to expire Royalty Term for all Licensed Products under this Agreement. 13.2 Early Termination for Breach. 13.2.1 Notice of Default and Cure Period. Upon any material breach of this Agreement by a Party (the “Breaching Party”), the other Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) shall have the right to give the Breaching Party notice specifying the nature of such material breach. If the breach of this Agreement is curable, then the Breaching Party shall have a period of [***] days from the date of receipt of the notice (the “Cure Period”) to cure such material breach in a manner that effectively remedies the harm to the Non-Breaching Party caused by the material breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such breach, by its nature, is curable, but is not reasonably curable within the Cure Period, then provided that such breach is not of a payment obligation hereunder, such Cure Period shall be extended if the Breaching Party provides a written plan for curing such breach to the Non- Breaching Party and uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such breach in accordance with such written plan, provided that no such extension shall exceed [***] days (for an extended Cure Period totaling [***] days) without the consent of the Non-Breaching Party. For clarity, this provision shall not restrict in any way either Party’s right to notify the other Party of any other breach or to demand the cure of any other breach. 13.2.2 Termination Right for Default. The Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by written notice to the Breaching Party: (a) in the event that the Breaching Party has not cured the material breach within the Cure Period (as may be extended pursuant to Section 13.2.1); or (b) in the event that the material breach is not curable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party in good faith raises a Dispute, pursuant to the Dispute resolution procedures under Article XIV, with respect to the existence, materiality of a breach or the sufficiency or failure of a cure of any such breach that would give rise to a right to terminate pursuant to this Section 13.2, then such termination shall be effective only upon a conclusion of the Dispute resolution procedures in accordance with Article XIV resulting in a determination that there has been an uncured material breach (or, if earlier, abandonment of the Dispute by the Breaching Party); provided, however, that the applicable Cure Period shall be tolled during the pendency of any such Dispute and shall recommence following such final resolution of such Dispute in accordance with Article XIV. For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of a termination right under this Section 13.2 by a Non-Breaching Party shall be without prejudice to its right to seek damages or any other remedy on account of the
80 Breaching Party’s material breach that may be available at law or in equity, subject to the terms hereof. 13.3 Early Termination for Bankruptcy. 13.3.1 In the event of the Bankruptcy of a Party (or its successor in interest in the event this Agreement is assigned as permitted hereunder) (the “Bankrupt Party”), the other Party (the “Non-Bankrupt Party”) may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by written notice to the Bankrupt Party. 13.3.2 All licenses and other rights granted pursuant to this Agreement by one Party to the other are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code (or comparable provisions of laws of other jurisdictions), licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code (or comparable provisions of Applicable Laws of other jurisdictions). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties agree that, upon commencement of a Bankruptcy proceeding by, or entry of an order for relief in connection with an Bankruptcy proceeding against, the Bankrupt Party, under the Bankruptcy Code (or comparable provisions of Applicable Laws of other jurisdictions) (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Commencement Date”), (a) in lieu of the Non-Bankrupt Party who is licensed (or sublicensed) any rights from such Bankrupt Party terminating this Agreement in its entirety as provided in Section 13.3.1, such Non-Bankrupt Party who is a licensee of such rights from the Bankrupt Party under this Agreement shall, upon such Bankrupt Party’s Bankruptcy, retain and may fully exercise all of the rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code (or comparable Applicable Laws of other jurisdictions); or (b) the Non-Bankrupt Party, in addition to its rights under Section 13.3.1 or otherwise under this Agreement, will be entitled to a complete duplicate of, or complete access to (as the Non-Bankrupt Party deems appropriate), any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property to which such Non-Bankrupt Party is granted license or other rights hereunder, and the same, if not already in its possession, shall be promptly delivered to the Non-Bankrupt Party (i) following any such Bankruptcy Commencement Date, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving written request by the Non-Bankrupt Party, unless the Bankrupt Party has assumed this Agreement prior to receipt of such written request by the Non- Bankrupt Party, or (ii) if not delivered under foregoing clause (i), on or before entry of an order by a competent court having jurisdiction over the matter authorizing the rejection of this Agreement. The Bankrupt Party (in any capacity, including debtor- in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including any trustee) agree not to interfere with the exercise by the Non-Bankrupt Party of its rights and licenses to such intellectual property and such embodiments of intellectual property in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, the Bankrupt Party waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law any and all rights to sell its intellectual property assets (including any Patent Rights) free and clear of the Non-Bankrupt Party’s rights and licenses in and to such intellectual property whether pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to a chapter 11 plan. All rights, powers and remedies granted hereunder to a Non-Bankrupt Party as a licensee of
81 any Patent Rights, Know-How or other intellectual property rights as provided in this Agreement (including as set forth in Section 2.2 or this Section 13.3) are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, in the event of the commencement of a Bankruptcy proceeding by or against the Bankrupt Party under Applicable Law, and the Non-Bankrupt Party, in addition to the rights, powers and remedies expressly provided herein, shall be entitled to exercise all other such rights and powers and resort to all other such remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity in such event. 13.4 Termination by GSK for Safety Concern. GSK may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by written notice to Arrowhead in the event that GSK determines, in its good-faith judgment, that continued Development or Commercialization of a Licensed Product would be unethical or unreasonable due to a safety-related reason, such as if GSK believes, based on its good-faith assessment of relevant data, that continuation of human use of a Licensed Product has resulted in, or has a significant risk of resulting in, the occurrence of a safety or tolerability finding that would raise material concerns regarding the clinical benefit of the Licensed Product for its target population (for example, harm significantly in excess of an acceptable side-effect profile). Such termination shall be effective immediately upon GSK’s written notice to Arrowhead. 13.5 Discretionary Termination by GSK. GSK shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time by written notice, which termination shall be effective (a) [***] from the date of such notice in the event that notice is given prior to the First Commercial Sale of any Licensed Product; and (b) [***] from the date of such notice in the event that notice is given following the First Commercial Sale of any Licensed Product. 13.6 Consequences of Early Termination. Upon the effective date of any early termination of this Agreement, the following shall apply. 13.6.1 Termination of Rights and Obligations. Each Party’s respective rights, licenses and obligations under this Agreement, including the licenses and other rights granted by one Party to the other in Article II, shall automatically terminate and have no further force and effect as of the applicable effective date of termination; provided, however, that each Party shall retain such rights or licenses to the extent necessary to enable the grantee Party (or its Affiliates) to perform any obligations or exercise any rights that survive such termination of this Agreement as may be expressly provided in this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 13.9, this Section 13.6 or in any written agreement of the Parties, as applicable. 13.6.2 Reversion License Grant. (a) [***] effective upon the applicable effective date of such termination, GSK, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants (without any further subsequent action required on the part of Arrowhead) to Arrowhead and its Affiliates a [***] license under the GSK Reversion IP to Develop,
82 Commercialize and otherwise Exploit any Terminated Products in the Field in the Territory; provided, however, that the foregoing license will be [***] with respect to any Janssen Licensed Patent Rights included within such GSK Reversion IP. (b) With respect to any GSK Excluded Know-How or GSK Excluded Patent Rights, upon Arrowhead’s request, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a [***] license under such GSK Excluded Know-How or GSK Excluded Patent Rights, which license shall include commercially reasonable financial terms payable by Arrowhead to GSK with respect thereto. 13.6.3 Patent Matters. (a) Arrowhead shall assume from GSK the sole responsibility for the Prosecution, defense and enforcement of any Arrowhead Patent Rights for which GSK was the Party responsible for Prosecution. Upon Arrowhead’s request, GSK shall reasonably cooperate in transferring to Arrowhead responsibility for the Prosecution, defense and enforcement of such Arrowhead Patent Rights, and shall provide Arrowhead with copies, at Arrowhead’s expense, of any requested documents in its possession relating thereto. (b) Solely in the event of a termination of this Agreement by (i) Arrowhead pursuant to Section 13.2.2, or (ii) GSK pursuant to Section 13.5, then, in each case ((i) or (ii)), upon Arrowhead’s request, the Parties will negotiate in good faith and agree upon terms with respect to the GSK Reversion Patent Rights, excluding any Janssen Licensed Patent Rights therein, pursuant to which (A) in the event that GSK elects not to Prosecute (or continue to Prosecute, including filing a Patent Right claiming priority to a Patent Right prior to its issuance) any such GSK Reversion Patent Right, Arrowhead will have the right to assume sole responsibility for such Prosecution thereof; and (B) in the event that GSK decides not to take any action to enforce any such GSK Reversion Patent Right in connection with a Product Infringement involving a Terminated Product or defend a Third Party Action challenging any such GSK Reversion Patent Right, Arrowhead will have the right to bring such enforcement action or defend such Third Party Action. 13.6.4 Transfer of GSK Reversion Know-How. [***] then, promptly following the effective date of such termination, at Arrowhead’s cost and in a manner and format mutually agreed by the Parties, GSK shall provide to Arrowhead copies of any GSK Reversion Know-How under which Arrowhead has a license grant pursuant to Section 13.6.2, in each case, solely to the extent that, as of the effective date of such termination, such copies are in GSK’s (or its Affiliate’s) possession and Control and in the format ready available to GSK (or its Affiliates); provided, however, that with respect to any such GSK Reversion Know-How that (a) constitutes New
83 Arising Know-How; and (b) is specifically related to the Manufacturing of any Terminated Product, then, in lieu of providing such copies to Arrowhead directly, GSK shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to provide copies of such GSK Reversion Know-How to a Third Party commercial manufacturer selected by Arrowhead (and reasonably acceptable to GSK), which Third Party commercial manufacturer may be engaged by or on behalf of Arrowhead to Manufacture such Terminated Product; provided, further, that Arrowhead shall be responsible and liable for the compliance by any such Third Party commercial manufacturer with the relevant terms and conditions of this Agreement that survive such termination and shall require that any such Third Party commercial manufacturer enter into a written agreement that complies with the requirements for Third Party subcontractors as set forth in Section 3.12 (mutatis mutandis). For clarity, [***], shall be deemed a reasonably acceptable Third Party commercial manufacturer by GSK for purposes of this Section 13.6.4 unless [***]. 13.6.5 Transfer and Assignment of Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals. [***] in accordance with and to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, GSK shall promptly transfer and assign, or cause to be transferred and assigned, to Arrowhead (or its designee) (a) any and all Regulatory Approvals for a Terminated Product in the Territory; and (b) any material Regulatory Filings that specifically related to any Terminated Product in the Territory, in each case ((a) or (b)), that is owned and Controlled by GSK or its Affiliates as of the effective date of such termination and Arrowhead shall assume full responsibility for such Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals; provided, however, that in no event shall GSK have any obligation to transfer or assign any Regulatory Approvals for, or any Regulatory Filings to the extent related to, (i) any Terminated Product that is a Combination Product or (ii) any compound, construct or product that is not a Terminated Product. In the event that GSK is unable to transfer and assign, or have transferred and assigned, to Arrowhead (or its designee) any such Regulatory Filing or Regulatory Approval, effective upon the effective date of termination, GSK, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby consents and grants to Arrowhead an exclusive (even as to GSK and its Affiliates), fully-paid, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, worldwide license and right of reference under such Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals (with the right to sublicense and grant further rights of reference) as necessary to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize such Terminated Product in the Field in the Territory; provided, however, that GSK shall retain such licenses, rights of reference or other rights under such Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals to the extent necessary to enable GSK (or its Affiliates) to perform any obligations or exercise any rights that survive such termination of this Agreement as may be expressly provided in this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 13.9, this Section 13.6 or in any written agreement of the Parties, as applicable. 13.6.6 Remaining Inventory. GSK (and its Affiliates and Sublicensees), with Arrowhead’s consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, shall have the right to sell or have sold any remaining inventory of Licensed Products following the
84 effective date of termination of this Agreement subject to the applicable payment and reporting obligations under Article VI. 13.6.7 Clinical Studies. Where any Clinical Trial of any Licensed Product is ongoing upon termination, each Party shall continue, at its cost, the Clinical Trial for which it, its Affiliate, (sub)contractor or sublicensee is the regulatory sponsor, solely as deemed necessary by such Party based on reasonable medical judgment to protect the safety, health or welfare of subjects participating in the relevant Clinical Trial, until such point as the study is completed or, if earlier, such Party determines that it is ethical to terminate such study or otherwise cease supporting it. 13.6.8 Orderly Wind-Down. Upon early termination, the Parties shall coordinate in good faith to wind down Development, Manufacturing, and Commercialization activities under this Agreement relating to any Licensed Products ongoing at the effective date of such termination, including the withdrawal of any Licensed Products from the market and a final reconciliation of all payments due under this Agreement. 13.6.9 No Waiver for Termination Due to Breach. For the avoidance of doubt, an aggrieved Party that terminates this Agreement for material breach may also seek damages and other relief for such material breach and (for the avoidance of doubt) for any other breach of this Agreement. 13.7 Return of Confidential Information. Upon expiration or early termination of this Agreement, a Receiving Party shall, at the other Party’s request (and to the extent and when permitted by Applicable Law), destroy, redact, or return, and cause its Affiliates and Third Party subcontractors and sublicensees to destroy, redact, or return all records to the extent containing, and all materials constituting, the other Party’s Confidential Information in its possession and control, and, upon request, provide written certification of such destruction, redaction, or return, except that: (a) the Receiving Party may retain in strict confidence one copy of the other Party’s Confidential Information for the Receiving Party’s legal archival purposes; and (b) the foregoing requirement to destroy, redact, or return the other Party’s Confidential Information shall not apply with respect to any such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent that this Agreement or any other written agreement between the Parties (or their respective Affiliates) expressly provides that a Party retains the right to use such Confidential Information (such as by virtue of being a joint owner, or by survival of GSK’ s license rights on a paid-up basis following expiration (without early termination) of this Agreement). 13.8 Certain Additional Remedies of GSK in Lieu of Termination. If GSK has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2.2, then in lieu of GSK terminating pursuant to Section 13.2.2, GSK may elect to have this Agreement continue in full force and effect as modified by this Section 13.8 by providing written notice to Arrowhead prior to the date that otherwise would have been the effective date of termination had GSK exercised its right to so terminate this Agreement under Section 13.2.2; provided that, if GSK so elects to continue this Agreement, then from and after such time as GSK delivers such written notice to Arrowhead, [***].
85 13.9 Survival. In the event of expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the provisions of (a) Article I (Definitions) (in each case, solely with respect to defined terms that are used in surviving provisions); (b) Section 2.2 (Licenses Constitute IP under Bankruptcy Code), Section 2.3 (Rights in Combination Products) and Section 2.4 (No Other Rights); (c) Section 3.11 (Records); (d) Section 3.4 (Transfer of Know-How) and Section 5.2 (Technical Transfer) (in each case, solely with respect to any payment obligations that accrued prior to such expiration or termination of this Agreement but have not been paid); (e) Section 3.6.2 (Adverse Event Reporting) (solely with respect to GSK and a serious adverse event that arose prior to such expiration or termination of this Agreement); (f) Section 6.3 (Milestone Payments), Section 6.4 (Royalty Payments), Section 6.5 (Third Party Obligations) and Article VII (General Payment Terms) (in each case, solely with respect to any payment obligations that accrued prior to such expiration or termination of this Agreement but have not been paid); (g) Section 8.2 (Ownership of Agreement IP), Section 8.3.3(a), Section 8.3.3(c), Section 8.3.3(d) and Section 8.3.3(f) (Prosecution of Patent Rights) (in each case, solely with respect to Joint Agreement Patent Rights); (h) Section 8.9 (Common Interest Agreement); (i) Section 9.1 (Confidential Information) (solely for the term specified therein), Section 9.2 (Permitted Use and Disclosures) and Section 9.5 (Equitable Relief); (j) Section 10.5 (No Warranties); (k) Article XI (Indemnification and Insurance); (l) Section 13.3.2 (Early Termination for Bankruptcy), Section 13.6 (Consequences of Early Termination), Section 13.7 (Return of Confidential Information) and this Section 13.9 (Survival); (m) Article XIV (Dispute Resolution); and (n) Article XV (Miscellaneous), in each case, shall survive, as well as any other provisions that, as apparent from their nature and context are intended to continue or to remain (such as for interpretation purposes). Further for the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, neither Party shall be released from any obligation that accrued prior to the end of the Term hereof. Accordingly, termination or expiration of this Agreement, in whole or in part (including relinquishment of any license right granted hereunder) for any reason, shall be without prejudice to any obligations that accrued prior to such termination or expiration, including any payments due hereunder (regardless of when payable) and any and all damages arising from any breach. In addition, any payments accrued prior to such termination or expiration shall become payable upon the effective date of such termination or expiration or at such earlier time as otherwise provided hereunder. ARTICLE XIV: DISPUTE RESOLUTION 14.1 Referral to Executive Officers. In the event of a Dispute, except for a Patent Controversy, either Party may refer the matter to the Parties’ Executive Officers for attempted resolution. The Executive Officers, in the presence of their legal advisors, shall attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute through negotiations. If the Executive Officers are unable to resolve a Dispute referred to them within ten (10) Business Days (or such other period as may be agreed by the Parties in writing) after such referral, and subject to any other provisions of this Agreement, such Dispute shall be resolved as provided below in this Article XIV. 14.2 Mediation. If the Executive Officers are unable to resolve a Dispute referred to them pursuant to Section 14.1 within ten (10) Business Days (or such other period as may be agreed by the Parties in writing) after such referral, the Parties shall first attempt in good
86 faith to resolve any Dispute by confidential mediation in accordance with the then-current Mediation Procedure of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR Mediation Procedure”) (www.cpradr.org) before initiating arbitration. The CPR Mediation Procedure shall control, except where it conflicts with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. The mediator shall be chosen pursuant to CPR Mediation Procedure. The mediation shall be held in New York, New York. Either Party may initiate mediation by written notice to the other Party. The Parties agree to select a mediator within twenty (20) days of the notice and the mediation will begin promptly after the selection. The mediation will continue until the mediator, or either Party, declares in writing, no sooner than after the conclusion of one full day of a substantive mediation conference attended on behalf of each Party by a senior business person with authority to resolve the Dispute, that the Dispute cannot be resolved by mediation. In no event, however, shall mediation continue more than sixty (60) days from the initial notice by a Party to initiate meditation unless the Parties agree in writing to extend that period. Any period of limitations that would otherwise expire between the initiation of mediation and its conclusion shall be extended until twenty (20) days after the conclusion of the mediation. No discussions between the Parties attempting to resolve a Dispute under Section 14.1 or this Section 14.2 shall be admissible in arbitration of the Dispute. 14.3 Arbitration. If the Parties fail to reach resolution pursuant to mediation in accordance with Section 14.2, and a Party desires to pursue resolution of a Dispute, then the Dispute shall be submitted by either Party for resolution in arbitration pursuant to the then current CPR Non-Administered Arbitration Rules (“CPR Rules”) (www.cpradr.org), except where they conflict with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. 14.3.1 The arbitration will be held in New York, New York. All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential. 14.3.2 The arbitrators will be chosen from the CPR Panel of Distinguished Neutrals, unless a candidate not on such panel is approved by both Parties. Each arbitrator shall be a lawyer with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience with a law firm or corporate law department of over twenty-five (25) lawyers or who was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction. To the extent that the Dispute requires special expertise, the Parties will so inform CPR prior to the beginning of the selection process. 14.3.3 The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators, of whom each Party shall designate one in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in CPR Rule 5.4. The chair will be chosen in accordance with CPR Rule 6.4. If, however, the aggregate award sought by the Parties is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and equitable relief is not sought, a single arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the CPR Rules. 14.3.4 Candidates for the arbitrator position(s) may be interviewed by representatives of the Parties in advance of their selection, provided that all Parties are represented. 14.3.5 The Parties agree to select the arbitrator(s) within forty-five (45) days of initiation of the arbitration. The hearing will be concluded within nine (9) months after
87 selection of the arbitrator(s) and the award will be rendered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the hearing, or of any post hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within forty-five (45) days after the conclusion of the hearing. In the event the Parties cannot agree upon a schedule, then the arbitrator(s) shall set the schedule following the time limits set forth above as closely as practical. 14.3.6 The Parties shall have the right to conduct and enforce pre-hearing discovery in accordance with the then current Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. All discovery conducted pursuant to the arbitration proceedings will be subject to the then current Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. 14.3.7 The hearing will be concluded in ten (10) hearing days or less. Multiple hearing days will be scheduled consecutively to the greatest extent possible. A transcript of the testimony adduced at the hearing shall be made and shall be made available to each Party. 14.3.8 The arbitrator(s) shall decide the merits of any Dispute in accordance with the law governing this Agreement, without application of any principle of conflict of laws that would result in reference to a different law. The arbitrator(s) may not apply principles such as “amiable compositeur” or “natural justice and equity.” 14.3.9 The arbitrator(s) are expressly empowered to decide dispositive motions in advance of any hearing and shall endeavor to decide such motions as would a United States District Court Judge sitting in the jurisdiction whose substantive law governs. 14.3.10 The arbitrator(s) shall render a written opinion stating the reasons upon which the award is based. The Parties consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the district in which the arbitration is held for the enforcement of these provisions and the entry of judgment on any award rendered hereunder. Should such court for any reason lack jurisdiction, any court with jurisdiction may act in the same fashion. 14.3.11 Each Party has the right to seek from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin, etc. to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the Dispute. Rule 14 of the CPR Rules does not apply to this Agreement. 14.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES: ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE UNDERLYING A DISPUTE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF SECTION 14.2 OR SECTION 14.3. 14.5 Interim or Provisional Relief. Nothing in this Agreement, including Section 11.5, shall preclude either Party from seeking interim or provisional relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief concerning a Dispute with the other Party, either prior to or during
88 the Dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Article XIV to protect the interests of such Party. 14.6 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Party, for the purpose of enforcing an award under Section 14.3 or for seeking interim or provisional relief as contemplated in Section 14.5 with respect to any disputed breach of this Agreement, agrees not to raise any objection at any time to the laying or maintaining of the venue of any action, suit or proceeding for such purpose in any state or federal Court sitting in New York, irrevocably waives any claim that such action, suit or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and further irrevocably waives the right to object, with respect to such action, suit or other proceeding, that such Court does not have any jurisdiction over such Party. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such Party’s notice address provided for in this Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in the Court with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 14.6. 14.7 No Claims against Employees. Each Party undertakes to make no claim and bring no proceedings in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter against any director, officer, employee or agent of the other Party (apart from claims based on fraud or willful misconduct). This undertaking is intended to give protection to individuals: it does not prejudice any right which a Party might have to claim against another Party. 14.8 Intellectual Property Disputes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if a Patent Controversy arises under this Agreement, then, such Patent Controversy will be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Patent Rights, Know-How or other intellectual property rights that are the subject of such Patent Controversy was granted or arose and shall not be subject to mediation under Section 14.2 or arbitration under Section 14.3. ARTICLE XV: MISCELLANEOUS 15.1 Assignment; Successors. 15.1.1 Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder shall be assignable or transferable, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate, or to any Third Party that acquires all or substantially all of such Party’s assets or business relating to the Licensed Constructs and Licensed Product to which this Agreement relates (whether by sale of assets or stock, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise), without the consent of the other Party. Each assigning Party shall give written notice to the other Party promptly following any such assignment or transfer. No assignment under this Section 15.1 shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its responsibilities or obligations hereunder and, as a condition of such assignment, the assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by all obligations of the assigning Party hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors
89 and permitted assigns of the Parties. Any assignment or other transfer not in accordance with this Section 15.1 shall be null and void. 15.1.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15.1.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement, but subject to the terms of this Section 15.1.2, at the sole cost and expense of Arrowhead, Arrowhead may assign to a Third Party its right to receive any or all of the milestone payments under Section 6.3.1 and Section 6.3.2 and any or all of the royalty payments under Section 6.4.2 and Section 6.4.3 (each such assignment, a “Securitization Transaction”); provided that (a) promptly following the closing of any such Securitization Transaction (but, in any event, at least forty (40) Business Days prior to the delivery of the first invoice for the first applicable payment to be made to such Third Party as the assignee of such payment rights), Arrowhead shall provide notice of such Securitization Transaction to GSK, which notice shall identify the applicable Third Party that is entitled to receive any such payments hereunder, including the tax domicile of such Third Party; and (b) upon GSK’s request, Arrowhead shall require such Third Party to provide to GSK (i) any information that would be required to be provided by Arrowhead with respect to such payments pursuant to Section 7.4 (mutatis mutandis) and (ii) any other information reasonably requested by GSK in order to process any such payments to be made to such Third Party. In connection with a contemplated Securitization Transaction and after the closing of any such Securitization Transaction with a Third Party, Arrowhead may disclose to such Third Party the royalty reports contemplated under Section 7.2, without the prior written consent of GSK, notwithstanding them containing GSK’s Confidential Information, to the extent reasonably necessary to enable such Third Party to evaluate the Securitization Transaction opportunity (provided that such Third Party is under obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to Confidential Information included in such reports and plans that are no less stringent than the terms of Article IX (but of duration customary in confidentiality agreements entered into for a similar purpose)), and to enable such Third Party to exercise its rights with respect to such Securitization Transaction, as applicable. As part of any consummated Securitization Transaction, Arrowhead may assign, without the prior written consent of GSK, its right to receive the royalty reports and to conduct audits under, respectively, Section 7.2, Section 7.5.2 and Section 7.5.3 to the Third Party in such Securitization Transaction, and to allow such Third Party to exercise its rights thereunder, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. 15.2 Waiver. The failure of any Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by the other Party. No waiver shall be effective unless it has been given in writing and signed by the Party giving such waiver. The exercise of any right hereunder by a Party in the event of the other’s default does not constitute an election of remedies or prevent the exercise of any or all other rights (all rights and remedies being cumulative).
90 15.3 Choice of Law. This Agreement, its interpretation, construction and performance and the rights granted and obligations arising hereunder, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York of the United States of America, including its statutes of limitations but exclusive of its conflicts of law rules. In the event of any conflict between U.S. and foreign Applicable Laws, U.S. Applicable Laws shall govern. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. 15.4 Notices. All notices given under this Agreement by either Party to the other Party shall be in the English language, in writing (which shall exclude e-mail), and shall refer specifically to this Agreement and shall be delivered personally, sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier, or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the following respective addresses (or to such other address as may be specified by notice from time to time by the relevant Party). If to Arrowhead: Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 177 East Colorado Boulevard, Suite 700 Pasadena, CA 91105 Attention: General Counsel With a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to: Gibson Dunn & Crutcher 555 Mission Street, Suite 3000 San Francisco, CA 94105 Attention: Ryan Murr If to GSK: GlaxoSmithKline Intellectual Property (No. 3) Limited GSK Medicines Research Centre Gunnels Wood Road Stevenage, SG1 2NY United Kingdom Attn.: Senior Vice President Business Development With a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to: GlaxoSmithKline 980 Great West Road Brentford, Middlesex TW8 9GS United Kingdom Attn: Vice President & Head of Legal Business Development & Corporate 15.4.1 Without prejudice to any earlier time at which a notice may be actually given and received, a properly addressed notice shall in any event be deemed to have been received: (a) when delivered, if personally delivered during the recipient’s normal business hours; (b) on the Business Day after dispatch, if sent by nationally- recognized overnight courier and proof of delivery is obtained; and (c) on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by mail.
91 15.4.2 Where proceedings have been commenced in any arbitration hereunder or court of competent jurisdiction, any documents issued in the course of those proceedings will be served in accordance with the procedural rules governing the service of documents in those proceedings. 15.4.3 This Section 15.4 shall apply to notices required to be given by one Party to the other under this Agreement. Other communications between the Parties that are routine in nature, such as communications between Alliance Managers regarding their ongoing activities performed in the ordinary course of their work under this Agreement, may be made via e-mail. The official language of this Agreement and between the Parties for all notices and communications between the Parties hereunder shall be in the English language. 15.5 Severability. If the whole or any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, then, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) in the case of the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of the whole of this Agreement, it shall terminate in relation to the jurisdiction in question; and (b) in the case of illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement, that part shall be severed from this Agreement in the jurisdiction in question (but shall remain in full force and effect in all other jurisdictions) and (i) all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in the relevant jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intent of the Parties as nearly as may be possible, and (ii) the Parties agree to use reasonable efforts to negotiate a provision, in replacement of the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is consistent with Applicable Law in the relevant jurisdiction and accomplishes, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the Parties with respect thereto. 15.6 Integration; Amendments. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that (a) as of the Amended Effective Date, this Agreement amends and restates the Original Agreement in its entirety and the Original Agreement is replaced with, and superseded by, this Agreement and, from and after the Amended Effective Date, the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (b) prior to the Amended Effective Date, the rights and obligations of Arrowhead and Janssen (and the rights of GSK as Janssen’s permitted assignee) shall be governed under the terms and conditions of the Original Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including as set forth in Section 8.2.2). Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement, together with the Schedules attached hereto, the Original Agreement (together with the Exhibits attached thereto) and the Pharmacovigilance Agreement (if any), constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all previous agreements (whether written or oral), between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the Existing Confidentiality Agreement. Except as specified herein, no waiver, modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid or effective unless made in a writing referencing this Agreement and signed by a duly authorized officer of each Party. In the event of a conflict between any terms of any Schedule or other appendix to this Agreement and the body of this Agreement, the body of this Agreement shall control.
92 15.7 Binding Effect; Independent Contractors; No Agency. As of the Amended Effective Date, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Person other than the Parties and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder will be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement. Neither Party shall have any responsibility for the hiring, firing or compensating the other Party’s employees or agents for any employee benefits. No employee or representative of a Party shall have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement to pay any sum or in any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed, for financial, tax, legal or other purposes, to constitute a partnership, agency, joint venture or employer-employee relationship between the Parties. 15.8 Performance by Affiliates. Except as expressly prohibited hereunder, either Party may use one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations and duties hereunder, provided that such Party shall remain liable hereunder for the timely payment and performance of all of its obligations and duties hereunder. 15.9 Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, except for the payment of any amounts under this Agreement, when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental Authority. The non- performing Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure within five (5) Business Days after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use, throughout the period of suspension of performance, Commercially Reasonable Efforts to remedy its inability to perform; provided, however, that in the event the suspension of performance continues for ninety (90) days after the date such force majeure commences, the Parties shall meet to discuss in good faith how to proceed in order to accomplish the objectives of this Agreement; and provided, further, however, that if the suspension of performance continues for more than one (1) year after the date such force majeure commences, either (a) GSK in the event that Arrowhead is the nonperforming Party, or (b) Arrowhead in the event that GSK is the non-performing Party, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to non-performing Party. For purposes of this Agreement a force majeure shall not include a failure to commit sufficient resources, financial or otherwise, to the activities to be conducted pursuant to this Agreement or general market or economic conditions. 15.10 Construction.
