forth in this this Agreement shall grant Licensee the right to Research, perform medicinal chemistry on, Develop, Manufacture, Commercialize or import any Compound (other than the IPI-145 Compound) that is claimed or covered by, or embodies, any Patent Right or Know-How owned by or licensed to INFI or any of its Affiliates. With respect to any exclusive license granted to Licensee under this Agreement, “exclusive” means exclusive to Licensee (even with respect INFI and its Affiliates), except for (a) non-exclusive licenses granted by INFI to Third Parties under INFI Product Related Contracts that will not adversely affect Licensee’s ability to Research, Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the IPI-145 Product in accordance with this Agreement, and (b) any limitations on the rights granted to INFI by any applicable Third Party Grantor in the INFI Third Party Agreements as of the Effective Date (or as amended thereafter to the extent permitted by this Agreement).
2.2 Sublicenses.
2.2.1 Licensee shall have the right to grant sublicenses within the scope of the license under Section 2.1; provided, that any sublicense agreement shall be in writing and shall be consistent with the relevant restrictions and limitations set forth in this Agreement.
2.2.2 Licensee shall be liable for the failure of any of the Sublicensees to comply with the relevant obligations under this Agreement and shall, at its own cost, use Diligent Efforts to enforce compliance by the Sublicensees with the terms of the sublicense agreement.
2.3 License Grant to INFI. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensee hereby grants to INFI a non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), fully-paid up, worldwide, royalty-free license under the Licensee IP to Research (including to perform medicinal chemistry), Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize Compounds that are Target Inhibitors and Products that contain one or more of such Compounds, except that, (a) such license does not extend to any Compound or Product that is Controlled by Licensee, its Affiliates, licensees or Sublicensees as of the Effective Date, and (b) during the Term, such license does not extend to the IPI-145 Compound or IPI-145 Products.
2.4 INFI Third Party Agreements.
2.4.1 Licensee acknowledges and agrees, subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in Section 9.2.9, that (a) it has received a copy of the INFI Third Party Agreements existing as of the Effective Date and (b) all rights granted to and obligations of Licensee hereunder are subject to the terms and conditions of the INFI Third Party Agreements. Licensee acknowledges that the Third Party Grantors retain, and the activities conducted by Licensee, its Affiliates and the Sublicensees pursuant to this Agreement shall not limit, the Third Party Grantors’ rights with respect to the Know-How and Patent Rights as set forth in the INFI Third Party Agreements.
2.4.2 Licensee shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to, comply in all material respects with the INFI Third Party Agreements and take any action reasonably requested by INFI to prevent any potential material breach by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees of any applicable term of any INFI Third Party Agreements.
- 14 -
CONFIDENTIAL
2.4.3 INFI shall not, without Licensee’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), terminate, or enter into any amendment to, any INFI Third Party Agreement which termination or amendment would have an adverse effect, in any material respect, on Licensee’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or on the Research, Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the IPI-145 Compound or IPI-145 Products as contemplated hereunder. To the extent permitted under the relevant INFI Third Party Agreement, INFI shall provide Licensee with a copy of all modifications to or amendments of the INFI Third Party Agreements, regardless of whether Licensee’s consent was required with respect thereto.
2.4.4 Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and licensees or sublicensees to, use Diligent Efforts not to perform any acts or omissions that would constitute a breach of any of the INFI Third Party Agreements which breach would have an adverse effect, in any material respect, on the Research, Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the IPI-145 Compound or IPI-145 Products as contemplated hereunder. Licensee shall and shall cause its Affiliates and licensees or sublicensees to use Diligent Efforts not to perform any acts or omissions that would constitute a breach of any of the INFI Third Party Agreements which breach would have an adverse effect, in any material respect, on the Research, Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Target Inhibitors as contemplated under such INFI Third Party Agreement. Each Party shall provide the other promptly with notice of the occurrence of any such breach (or receipt of notice of an allegation of any such breach).
2.4.5 If INFI receives a notice from INK alleging that INFI has materially breached its obligations under the INK Agreement and such material breach is a result of Licensee’s, its Affiliates’ or Sublicensees’ acts or omissions in breach of Licensee’s obligations under this Agreement (such alleged material breach, a “Headlicense Breach”), then INFI shall promptly forward such notice of the Headlicense Breach to Licensee. Licensee shall have an opportunity to cure such Headlicense Breach in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 11.2 (but without any extension of the cure period therein), so long as Licensee provides evidence to INFI during such cure period of its actions to cure such breach. If Licensee fails to cure its Headlicense Breach or to provide evidence of such actions in accordance with the preceding sentence, then Licensee’s Headlicense Breach shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement by Licensee, which material breach shall not be subject to any further cure periods under Section 11.2 of this Agreement.

2.4.7 Licensee acknowledges and agrees that (a) INFI may provide a copy of this Agreement, and any amendment to this Agreement, to any Third Party Grantor and (b) INFI may provide to any Third Party Grantor any information required to be provided to such Third Party Grantor in accordance with the applicable INFI Third Party Agreement.

CONFIDENTIAL
(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 2.4.8, the licenses granted to Licensee hereunder with respect to the Patent Rights and Know-How licensed to INFI pursuant to the INK Agreement shall terminate upon termination of the INK Agreement (except as provided in Section 15.1(b) therein) and the provisions of Section 15.2 or Section 15.3, as applicable, of the INK Agreement shall, to the extent applicable to Licensee, apply, except that any such license to Licensee of the rights granted to INFI under Section 2.1 of the INK Agreement to Research, Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize the IPI-145 Compound or the IPI-145 Products shall not terminate upon termination of the INK Agreement but instead shall remain in full force and effect if Licensee is not then in material breach of this Agreement and Licensee provides to INK within thirty (30) days after termination of the INK Agreement a written agreement to be bound as the licensee under the terms and conditions of the INK Agreement as to the field and territory in which Licensee has been granted rights under this Agreement.
(b) If the INK Agreement is terminated by INK solely as a direct result of Licensee’s or any Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s breach of this Agreement and INFI has not received notice from INK that INFI is otherwise in material breach of the INK Agreement as of the time of such termination, then Licensee and its Affiliates shall not directly or indirectly acquire or license rights from INK or any of its Affiliates permitting Licensee or any of its Affiliates to Research, perform medicinal chemistry on, Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize any Compound that is a Target Inhibitor or any Product containing such a Compound, in each case to the extent that such Compound or Product is licensed to INFI under the INK Agreement as of the date of the termination of the INK Agreement.
2.5 Trademark License.
2.5.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, INFI hereby grants Licensee an exclusive (even as to INFI), worldwide, royalty-free right and license to use and sublicense to its Affiliates and Sublicensees INFI’s trademarks set forth on Exhibit E (each a “Product Mark”), solely during the Term, solely for the purpose of Commercializing IPI-145 Products.
2.5.2 Licensee shall ensure that the quality of the IPI-145 Product, and the Manufacture and Commercialization thereof, marketed under the Product Marks shall be consistent with the quality of any IPI-145 Product Manufactured by or on behalf of INFI prior to the Effective Date and with the standards of quality customary in the pharmaceuticals industry. Licensee shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and the Sublicensees to, at Licensee’s expense, submit a sample of each proposed use of a Product Mark to INFI for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If INFI reasonably objects to a proposed usage of a Product Mark, it shall give written notice of such objection to Licensee within [**] days of receipt of such sample, specifying the way in which such usage of the Product Mark fails to meet the quality standards, or quality control, style or usage guidelines for such Product or Product Mark.

reimburse INFI within [**] days of Licensee’s receipt of an invoice therefor. Licensee shall have the first right to control the registration, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of the Product Mark, in INFI’s name.

2.5.4 If Licensee does not wish to register, prosecute, maintain or enforce a Product Mark in a country, Licensee shall notify INFI thereof.
2.5.5 If INFI determines in good faith that Licensee has not registered, prosecuted, maintained or enforced a Product Mark in a country in a timely manner, and in any event if INFI reasonably believes it is in danger of losing any rights in such Product Mark, then INFI shall have the right to register, prosecute, maintain or enforce such Product Mark in such country, at INFI’s expense, and Licensee shall reasonably assist INFI with respect thereto.
2.5.6 As between the Parties and except as set forth in Section 2.5.7, and subject to the licenses set forth in this Section 2.5, INFI will own the Product Marks. Subject to Section 2.5.7, Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees will not contest, oppose or challenge INFI’s ownership of any Product Mark.
2.5.7 At any time following Licensee’s filing of an NDA in the United States or an MAA in any other country in the Territory with respect to an IPI-145 Product, Licensee may request that INFI transfer ownership of the Product Mark and any goodwill associated therewith (but not any of the Duvelisib IP or any assets of INFI or any of its Affiliates, other than the Product Mark and the Internet domain names described hereafter) and any Internet domain names incorporating any Product Mark, or any variation or part of any Product Mark.

2.7.3 The Party against which a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is commenced shall not interfere with the exercise by the other Party or its Affiliates of rights and licenses to intellectual property licensed hereunder and embodiments thereof in accordance with this Agreement and agrees to use Diligent Efforts to assist the other Party and its Affiliates to obtain such intellectual property and embodiments thereof in the possession or control of Third Parties as reasonably necessary or desirable for the other Party or its Affiliates or licensee or sublicensees to exercise such rights and licenses in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than the provisions of Section 3.1.4(b)), Licensee will be responsible for all reasonable and documented Internal Personnel Expenses and Out-of-Pocket Expenses related to the IPI-145 Compound or IPI-145 Product in the Territory incurred by INFI on or after November 1, 2016, including all costs related to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the IPI-145 Compound or IPI-145 Product and all Patent Expenses; provided, however, that Licensee shall not have any obligation to reimburse INFI for any such costs incurred by INFI after the Effective Date except for those costs incurred in accordance with this Agreement or as directed by Licensee; provided, that Licensee shall be permitted to holdback [**] of all such payments incurred by INFI after the date a Key Item is to have been completed (as set forth in the Transition Plan) and such Key Item has not been completed (other than through any action or inaction of Licensee) (such payments actually withheld by Licensee, the “Holdback Payments”); further, provided, that within [**] days following the completion of such Key Item that entitled Licensee to holdback the Holdback Payment, Licensee shall pay the amount of such Holdback Payment to INFI.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensee shall reimburse such costs by paying to INFI the following amounts:
- 19 -
CONFIDENTIAL
(1) Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) upon the determination that the DUO clinical trial has met its [**], each as defined in the DUO clinical trial protocol, attached as Exhibit H (such event, the “DUO Reimbursement Event”) and;
(2) Twenty-Two Million Dollars ($22,000,000) upon the approval of an NDA or MAA for an IPI-145 Product (such event, the “Approval Reimbursement Event”).
To the extent that the payments made to INFI under Sections 3.1.2(c)(1) and 3.1.2(c)(2) are less than the Reimbursable Amount, the remainder of the Reimbursable Amount shall be reimbursed to INFI through the payment of royalties pursuant to Section 6.1.1.
Licensee shall pay the amounts set forth in Section 3.1.2(c)(i)(1) and Section 3.1.2(c)(i)(2) within [**] days after the achievement of the relevant Reimbursement Event; provided, however, that Licensee shall have no obligation to make the relevant Reimbursement Payment upon the achievement of the applicable Reimbursement Event until INFI shall have completed the items marked as “Key Items” on the Transition Plan that were to have been completed (as set forth in the Transition Plan) prior to the date on which such Reimbursement Event is achieved. Within [**] calendar days after Licensee becomes aware that a Reimbursement Event has been achieved, it shall notify INFI thereof in writing (the “Reimbursement Notice”) and shall issue a public announcement of such achievement, which announcement shall have been subject to written approval by INFI, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The date of such public announcement is hereinafter referred to as the “Reimbursement Announcement Date.”
(ii) Form of Payment. Within [**] days after the achievement of the relevant Reimbursement Event set forth in Section 3.1.2(c)(i)(1) or Section 3.1.2(c)(i)(2), Licensee shall make a Reimbursement Payment (1) in Dollars in immediately available funds, or (2) in lieu of (or as partial consideration with) making the Reimbursement Payment in Dollars, by issuing shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Licensee Common Stock”), such shares constituting “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As part of any Reimbursement Notice, Licensee shall inform INFI of its form of payment election, whether in Dollars, shares of Licensee Common Stock or a combination of any of the foregoing.
(iii) Calculating Reimbursement Payments. For any portion of any Reimbursement Payment in which Licensee elects to issue shares of Licensee Common Stock, the number of shares of Licensee Common Stock to be so issued will be determined by multiplying (1) 1.025 by (2) the number of shares of Licensee Common Stock equal to (a) the amount of the Reimbursement Payment to be paid in shares of Licensee Common Stock, divided by (b) the average closing price of a share of Licensee Common Stock as quoted on NASDAQ for the twenty (20) day period following the Reimbursement Announcement Date.
(iv) Registration Rights. If Licensee issues shares of Licensee Common Stock to INFI to satisfy all or a portion of a Reimbursement Payment, Licensee shall as promptly as possible, but no later than [**] Business Days following the issuance of such shares, file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or such other registration statement then available to
- 20 -
CONFIDENTIAL
Licensee, each, a “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering all such shares of Licensee Common Stock issued as consideration for all or a portion of such Reimbursement Payment. Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the applicable Registration Statement and the related prospectuses declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible thereafter and to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the registration as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective until the first anniversary of the effective date of such Registration Statement. The obligations of the Licensee to maintain an effective Registration Statement under this Section 3.1.2(c)(iv) for any issuance of Licensee Common Stock shall cease on the first anniversary of the effective date of such Registration Statement.
(v) Resale Limitations. In any resales within the first three months after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, regardless of whether conducted pursuant to the Registration Statement, INFI shall effect such sales only through [**] or another broker to be mutually agreed upon between INFI and Licensee.
(vi) Legends. All Licensee Common Stock issued as consideration for all or a portion of a Reimbursement Payment shall bear the following legend:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
(vii) Authorizations; Approvals; Timing. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it shall be a condition to the closing of the sale of any issuance of shares of Licensee Common Stock that: (i) all material authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of, or regulations, declarations or filings with, or expirations of applicable waiting periods imposed by, any Governmental Authority necessary for the consummation of the sale of such shares shall have been obtained or filed or shall have occurred (as applicable), and (ii) INFI shall have received such customary certificates, instruments or other similar closing deliverables as it may reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will Licensee issue any shares of Licensee Common Stock without first obtaining approval from its stockholders to the extent that such approval is then required as a condition to such issuance of such shares pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 or any successor rule. The right of Licensee to pay all or a portion of a Reimbursement Payment in shares of Licensee Common Stock shall immediately terminate if the

Licensee may perform its Development, Manufacturing or Commercialization rights or obligations under this Agreement through one or more subcontractors or consultants, provided, that: (a) Licensee shall remain responsible for the work allocated to, and payment to, such subcontractors and consultants as it selects to the same extent it would if it had done such work itself; and (b) each such subcontractor or consultant shall undertake in writing obligations of confidentiality and non-use regarding INFI’s Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than those undertaken by Licensee pursuant to ARTICLE 8 hereof.
3.1.4 Continuation of Clinical Trials.
(a) Licensee shall assume all costs associated with the [**] clinical trials as of [**] (unless Licensee provides INFI with written notice prior to [**] that the [**] clinical trial will be wound down, in which case it shall be wound down under Section 3.1.4(b)).

After [**], Licensee shall become responsible for all activities and costs to wind down such clinical trials; provided, however, that INFI shall reimburse Licensee for Licensee’s reasonable and documented Internal Personnel Expenses and Out-of-Pocket Expenses for winding down such clinical trials (such reimbursements to be made within [**] days of INFI’s receipt of invoice therefor from Licensee). In any event, INFI’s aggregate expenditures under this Section 3.1.4(b), including INFI’s reasonable and documented Internal Personnel Expenses and Out-of-Pocket Expenses and INFI’s reimbursement of Licensee’s reasonable and documented Internal Personnel Expenses and Out-of-Pocket Expenses, shall be capped at Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000).
(c) Following Licensee’s assumption of responsibility for the DUO clinical trial, Licensee shall continue the DUO clinical trial in accordance with the DUO clinical trial protocol attached as Exhibit H until it is complete; provided, however, that in the event that Licensee, a Regulatory Authority, an institutional review board or independent safety board determines that the DUO clinical trial would pose an unacceptable safety risk for subjects or patients participating in it, then Licensee shall not be obligated to continue the DUO clinical trial and Licensee shall provide INFI with an explanation of the safety issue concerns, including those raised by such Regulatory Authority, institutional review board or independent safety board and, if requested by INFI, reasonable documentation thereof.

not be reduced by the multiplication factor reflected in Section 1.59(II). INFI shall provide Licensee with prompt notice if the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined in the MICL Agreements) is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 thereof, and in such case, the MICL Royalty Payment shall be reduced to 2.817% of Net Sales. Licensee shall only be obligated to make the MICL Royalty Payment on Net Sales of IPI-145 Product until such time as MICL has received an aggregate amount equal to $244,547,850 (the “MICL Repayment Amount”) from the combination of MICL Royalty Payments made by Licensee with respect to IPI-145 Product and other royalties paid by INFI or its Affiliates or licensees or sublicensees with respect to any other Products subject to the royalty payments under the MICL Agreement with MICL. On an annual basis, INFI shall inform Licensee of the remaining balance of the MICL Repayment Amount. INFI shall provide Licensee with prompt notice when such MICL Repayment Amount has been paid in full, in which case, (a) Licensee shall no longer be required to make the MICL Royalty Payment to INFI and (b) Licensee will be required to make the MICL Trailing Royalty Payment to INFI pursuant to Section 6.1.3(c). In the event the rate of the MICL Royalty Payment has changed from the initial rate, as set forth in this Section 6.1.3(b)(i), and, as a result, Licensee has overpaid to INFI the MICL Royalty Payment with respect thereto, such overpaid amount shall be credited toward Licensee’s MICL Royalty Payments or MICL Trailing Royalty Payment until fully credited.
(ii) In addition to the royalty owed to INFI pursuant to Section 6.1.1, Licensee shall pay to INFI (for payment to Purdue) an amount equal to 0.244% of Net Sales (the “Purdue Royalty Payment”) of an IPI-145 Product. For purposes of this Section 6.1.3(b)(ii) only, Net Sales of Combination Products will be calculated in accordance with Section 1.59(I) and will not be reduced by the multiplication factor reflected in Section 1.59(II). INFI shall provide Licensee with prompt notice if the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined in the MICL Agreements) is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 thereof, and in such case, the Purdue Royalty Payment shall be reduced to 0.183% of Net Sales. Licensee shall only be obligated to make the Purdue Royalty Payment on Net Sales of IPI-145 Product until such time as Purdue has received an aggregate amount equal to $15,908,706 (the “Purdue Repayment Amount”) from the combination of Purdue Royalty Payments made by Licensee with respect to IPI-145 Product and other royalties paid by INFI or its Affiliates or licensees or sublicensees with respect to any other Products subject to the royalty payments under the MICL Agreement with Purdue. On an annual basis, INFI shall inform Licensee of the remaining balance of the Purdue Repayment Amount. INFI shall provide Licensee with prompt notice when such Purdue Repayment Amount has been paid in full, in which case, Licensee shall no longer be required to make the Purdue Royalty Payment to INFI. In the event the rate of the Purdue Royalty Payment has changed from the initial rate, as set forth in this Section 6.1.3(b)(ii), and, as a result, Licensee has overpaid to INFI the Purdue Royalty Payment with respect thereto, such overpaid amount shall be credited toward Licensee’s Purdue Royalty Payments or, if the Purdue Repayment Amount has been paid in full, any other payment owed by Licensee to INFI.
(iii) On an IPI-145 Product-by-IPI-145 Product and country-by-country basis, if the sole basis for the continuance of a Royalty Term is the existence of Regulatory Exclusivity, the MICL Royalty Payment and the Purdue Royalty Payment shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%).

(iv) INFI shall promptly pay the full amount of all MICL Royalty Payments and Purdue Royalty Payments received from Licensee to MICL, subject only to the last sentence of Section 6.1.3(b)(i) and the last sentence of Section 6.1.3(b)(ii).
(c) Mundipharma Trailing Royalty. Once the MICL Repayment Amount has been paid in full, Licensee shall no longer be required the pay the MICL Royalty Payment. Instead, Licensee will be required to pay MICL an amount equal to one percent (1%) of Net Sales of IPI-145 Product in the United States (the “MICL Trailing Royalty Payment”). For purposes of this Section 6.1.3(c) only, Net Sales of Combination Products will be calculated in accordance with Section 1.59(I) and will not be reduced by the multiplication factor reflected in Section 1.59(II). The MICL Trailing Royalty Payment shall be paid on an IPI-145 Product-by-IPI-145 Product basis until the expiration of the applicable Royalty Term in the United States. Thereafter, no further amounts shall be payable by Licensee to INFI for payment to MICL with respect to the MICL Agreements.
(i) On an IPI-145 Product-by-IPI-145 Product basis, if the sole basis for the continuation of a Royalty Term in the United States is the existence of Regulatory Exclusivity, then the MICL Trailing Royalty Payment shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%).
(ii) If Licensee (i) reasonably determines in good faith it, in order to avoid infringement of any patent not licensed hereunder, it is reasonably necessary to obtain a license from a Third Party in order to Manufacture or Commercialize an IPI-145 Product in a country in the Territory and to pay a royalty or other consideration under such license (including in connection with the settlement of a patent infringement claim), or (ii) shall be subject to a final court or other binding order or ruling requiring any payments, including a payment of a royalty to a Third Party patent holder in respect of future sales of any IPI-145 Product in a country in the Territory, then the amount of the MICL Trailing Royalty Payment shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) of the amount paid by Licensee to such Third Party that is reasonably and appropriately allocable to, as applicable, such IPI-145 Product; provided, however, that in no event will a deduction or deductions under this Section 6.1.3(c) reduce the MICL Trailing Royalty Payment by more than fifty percent (50%).
6.1.4 Payment Terms. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all payments by or on behalf of Licensee under this Agreement shall be non-creditable (except pursuant to Section 6.5, the last sentence of Section 6.1.3(b)(i), or the last sentence of Section 6.1.3(b)(ii))) and non-refundable.

CONFIDENTIAL
7.5.1 With respect to the INFI Prosecution Patent Rights and the INK Prosecution Patent Rights, Licensee shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to initiate a proceeding or take other appropriate action in connection with the Third Party Infringement to the extent that such Third Party Infringement involves the Research, Development, Manufacture, use or Commercialization of the IPI-145 Compound or any IPI-145 Product in the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Licensee shall not initiate any lawsuit or other enforcement action asserting any such Patent Rights without first consulting with INFI and giving good faith consideration to any reasonable objection from INFI regarding Licensee’s proposed course of action. INFI shall have the right, at INFI’s sole expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice; provided, however, that Licensee shall bear all of INFI’s costs and expenses with respect to any activities undertaken by INFI at Licensee’s request.

Licensee shall not, through any court action or proceeding, any settlement arrangement or any proceeding, filing or communication with any patent office, admit the invalidity of, or otherwise impair INFI’s or INK’s rights in, any Duvelisib Patent Right without the prior written consent of INFI and, with respect to the INK Prosecution Patent Rights or INK Non-Prosecution Patent Rights, INK. Any recoveries resulting from such an action brought by Licensee in accordance with this Section 7.5.1 shall be applied as follows:
(a) First, to reimburse (i) INK’s out-of-pocket expenses and (ii) each Party for all Out-of-Pocket Expenses in connection with such proceeding (on a pro rata basis, based on each Party’s respective litigation costs, to the extent the recovery was less than all such litigation costs);
(b) Second, any portion of the remainder that is attributable to lost profits with respect to sales of the IPI-145 Product outside the Field shall be subject to a royalty payment to INK in accordance with the INK Agreement equal to the amount that would be due if such amount were Net Sales (as defined in the INK Agreement) under the INK Agreement, and Licensee shall promptly pay such royalty payment to INK; and
(c) Third, the remainder shall be retained by Licensee, shall be considered Net Sales under this Agreement and shall be subject to the royalty obligations under this Agreement.
7.5.2 If Licensee decides not to, or fails to, initiate proceedings or take other appropriate action pursuant to Section 7.5.1 with respect to a Third Party Infringement of any such Prosecution Patent Right within the shorter of (a) [**] days following Licensee’s becoming aware of the alleged infringement (which shall be [**] days with respect to the INK Prosecution Patent Rights) or (b) solely with respect to a Paragraph IV Certification, [**] days following the earlier of Licensee’s or INFI’s receipt of notice thereof (which shall be [**] days with respect to the INK Prosecution Patent Rights), then (y) Licensee shall promptly notify INFI thereof and (z) INFI or, with respect to the INK Prosecution Patent Rights, INK (to the extent set forth in the INK Agreement), shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any such action at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. Licensee shall notify INFI and, with respect to the INK Prosecution Patent Rights, Licensee shall notify INK (in accordance with the notice provision in the INK
- 36 -
CONFIDENTIAL
Agreement), as soon as Licensee is aware that it will not initiate such proceedings or take such action within such time periods. Any recoveries resulting from such an action brought by INFI or INK in accordance with this Section 7.5.2 will be retained by INFI or, with respect to the INK Prosecution Patent Rights, INK (to the extent set forth in the INK Agreement).
7.6 Conduct of Certain Actions; Costs. The Party initiating legal action under Section 7.5 with respect to Prosecution Patent Rights (the “Initiating Party”) shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any suit initiated by it. At the request of the Initiating Party or, with respect to the INK Prosecution Patent Rights, INK (if it is then controlling the relevant action), the other Party shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation in connection therewith. If Licensee is the Initiating Party, Licensee shall [**]. The other Party shall reasonably cooperate in the prosecution of such suit as may be reasonably requested by the Initiating Party or, with respect to the INK Prosecution Patent Rights, INK (if it is then controlling the relevant action), including by agreeing to be joined to such legal action to the extent required in order to maintain such legal action; provided, that if Licensee is the Initiating Party, Licensee shall [**]. The other Party and INK (where applicable pursuant to Section 10.3(b) of the INK Agreement) shall have the right to participate and be represented in any such legal action (in cases where such other Party has standing) by its own counsel at its own cost.
7.7 Defense of Actions. In the event that a declaratory judgment or similar action alleging the invalidity or non-infringement, or any request for, or filing or declaration of, any interference, opposition, reissue or reexamination, of any Prosecution Patent Right is initiated by any Third Party, each Party will promptly notify the other and the rights and responsibilities for defending against any such action shall be determined in the same manner as Prosecution and Maintenance of the relevant Prosecution Patent Right pursuant to Section 7.4. INK shall have the sole right to defend against any declaratory judgment or similar action alleging the invalidity or non-infringement, or any request for, or filing or declaration of, any interference, opposition, reissue or reexamination, of any INK Non-Prosecution Patent Right.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless INK waives its relevant rights under the INK Agreement, (a) with respect to any IPI-145 Product sold in the United States after receipt of Marketing Authorization for such IPI-145 Product in the United States, Licensee shall and shall ensure that its applicable Affiliates and the applicable Sublicensees, to the extent permitted under applicable Law and if reasonably practicable, include the INK name or logo (“INK Mark”) on the commercial packaging for such IPI-145 Product, and a disclosure that such IPI-145 Product is licensed from INK, and (b) Licensee and its applicable Affiliates or the applicable

Licensee shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and the Sublicensees shall not, contest, oppose or challenge INK’s ownership of the INK Mark. Licensee shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and the Sublicensees shall not, at any time do or suffer to be done any act or thing that will in any way impair INK’s ownership of or rights in and to the INK Mark or any registration thereof or that may depreciate the value of the INK Mark or the reputation of INK.
7.9 Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act.
7.9.1 The Parties shall cooperate with each other in an effort to avoid loss of any Prosecution Patent Rights which may otherwise be available under the provisions of the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 or comparable United States or foreign laws, including by executing any documents as may be reasonably required. In particular, the Parties shall, at Licensee’s sole expense, cooperate in obtaining patent term restoration or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in any country and region (“Patent Term Extensions”), where applicable to the Prosecution Patent Rights. INFI shall provide all reasonable assistance to Licensee, including permitting Licensee to proceed with applications for such in the name of INFI, if so required.
7.9.2 After consultation by Licensee with INFI and INK, Licensee shall have the sole right to determine, if applicable, for which, if any, of the Prosecution Patent Rights the Parties will attempt to seek Patent Term Extensions for the IPI-145 Product.

10.3 Procedure. In the event of a claim by a Third Party against any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Party claiming indemnification on behalf of such Person (in such capacity, the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the claim (it being understood that the failure by the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice of a Third Party claim as provided in this Section 10.3 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give prompt notice). Within [**] days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, undertake and solely manage and control, at its sole expense and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the defense of the claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake such defense, the Indemnified Party may control such defense but shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder if it does not then control such defense. The Party not controlling such defense shall cooperate with the other Party and may, at its option and expense, participate in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party in good faith concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party (or the relevant INFI Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee seeking indemnification) have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the Indemnified Party’s counsel may fully participate in such defense and the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified Persons solely in connection therewith. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. Except if the Indemnifying Party did not undertake defense of the claim or if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party (or the relevant INFI Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee seeking indemnification) have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the Indemnified Party engages separate counsel, as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any litigation costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party (or the relevant INFI Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee seeking indemnification) without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent. The Indemnified Party and any Person seeking indemnification under this Agreement shall not settle any such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle, without the prior written

consent of the Indemnified Party, any such action, suit, proceeding or claim, or consent to any judgment in respect thereof, that (a) does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party (and the relevant INFI Indemnitees or Licensee Indemnitees seeking indemnification) from all liability with respect thereto, (b) imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party (or any relevant INFI Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee seeking indemnification), (c) permits any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other non-monetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly against the Indemnified Party (or any relevant INFI Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee seeking indemnification), or (d) acknowledges fault by the Indemnified Party (or any relevant INFI Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee seeking indemnification).
10.4 Allocation. In the event a claim is based partially on an indemnified claim and partially on a non-indemnified claim or based partially on a claim indemnified by one Party and partially on a claim indemnified by the other Party, any payments in connection with such claims are to be apportioned between the Parties in accordance with the degree of cause attributable to each Party.
10.5 EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO [**], NEITHER INFI NOR LICENSEE, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLE OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, COSTS OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES OR LOST SAVINGS), ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER LIABILITY IS ASSERTED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY), INDEMNITY OR CONTRIBUTION, AND 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.

12.8 Force Majeure. No Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to be in default under, or in breach of any provision of, this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation (other than a payment obligation) of this Agreement when such failure or delay is due to force majeure, and without the fault or negligence of the Party so failing or delaying. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure is defined as causes beyond the reasonable control of the failing or delaying Party, which may include strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident, war, act of terrorism, act of God or of the government of any country or of any local government or by other cause unavoidable or beyond the reasonable control of such Party. In such event the affected Party shall immediately notify the other Party of such inability and of the period for which such inability is expected to continue. The Party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations under this Agreement as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled for up to a maximum of ninety (90) days, after which time INFI and Licensee shall promptly meet to discuss in good faith how to best proceed in a manner that maintains and abides by the Agreement. The failing or delaying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any force majeure and to resume performance of its obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may not rely on this Section 12.8, or any
