Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain License Agreement between FB Health S.p.A (“FB Health”) and BHI Limited Partnership (“Bellus”), of even date herewith (the “Bellus License Agreement”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Bellus License Agreement.

As you are aware, pursuant to the Bellus License Agreement, Bellus has licensed to FB Health certain Patent Rights and Know-How owned or Controlled by Bellus and has granted to FB Health certain rights related thereto. As contemplated by Section 2.3 of the Bellus License Agreement, simultaneously with the execution of this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”), FB Health is entering into an agreement with Alzheon pursuant to which FB Health is sublicensing to Alzheon all of the rights licensed or otherwise granted to FB Health by Alzheon under the Bellus License Agreement, subject to certain rights retained by FB Health with respect to Italy (the “Alzheon Sublicense Agreement”). The Alzheon Sublicense Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. By executing this Letter Agreement, Bellus hereby acknowledges that FB Health is granting a sublicense of its rights under the Bellus Agreement to Alzheon in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Bellus License Agreement and consents to such sublicense and other assignment of rights granted in the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement.

1. No Breach. Bellus confirms that, as of the date of this Letter Agreement: (i) the Bellus License Agreement remains in full force and effect; and (ii) it has not given any notice to FB Health of any breach by FB Health under the Bellus License Agreement.

2. Effective Date. The provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be effective from the date of this Letter Agreement written above.

3. Breach under Bellus License Agreement. In the event of any default, breach or violation by FB Health of the Bellus License Agreement, Bellus shall promptly notify Alzheon in writing of such breach, and Alzheon shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such default, breach or violation on behalf of FB Health within [ * ] after Alzheon’s receipt from Bellus of written notification of such default, breach or violation. During such [ * ] cure period, Bellus shall not terminate the Bellus License Agreement as a result of such breach.

4. Amendments to Bellus License Agreement. Bellus shall give prompt notice to Alzheon, together with a detailed summary of outstanding issues if Alzheon so requests, of any notice received from or given to FB Health of any proposed amendments or proposed modifications of, or any proposed waivers under, the Bellus License Agreement.

5. Option to Obtain a License Directly from Bellus Upon Termination of the Bellus License Agreement. In the event Bellus has the right to terminate the Bellus License Agreement for any reason, and the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement is in force and effect as of the proposed date of termination of the Bellus License Agreement, Bellus shall promptly notify Alzheon, and Alzheon shall have the right to obtain directly from Bellus, a license agreement on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Bellus License Agreement (such right, the “License Option”). Alzheon may exercise the License Option by providing a written notice to Bellus within [ * ] from the date that Bellus notifies Alzheon that Bellus has the right to terminate the Bellus License Agreement. If Alzheon exercises the License Option, Bellus shall enter into a license agreement directly with Alzheon (the “New License Agreement”) on substantially the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Bellus License Agreement; provided, however, (i) that Bellus shall agree in the New License Agreement to terms providing that in no event shall Alzheon be liable to Bellus for any actual or alleged breach by FB Health of the Bellus License Agreement; (ii) that the financial terms of the New License Agreement shall in no event be greater than the corresponding financial terms set forth in the Bellus License Agreement; and (iii) that in no event shall Bellus be obligated to accept provisions in any New License Agreement unless such provisions correspond to rights granted, or covenants made, by Bellus to FB Health under the Bellus License Agreement. Bellus shall not terminate the Bellus License Agreement until the New License Agreement is fully executed and in full force and effect. FB Health acknowledges and agrees that all of Alzheon’s payment obligations under the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement shall automatically terminate upon execution of the New License Agreement to the extent that they are required payments under the New License Agreement.

6. Clarifications of Rights and Obligations under the Bellus License Agreement and Alzheon Sublicense Agreements.

(a) Bellus acknowledges and agrees that Alzheon shall have the right to grant sublicenses to all or any portion of the rights under the license by FB Health to Alzheon pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement (including any such rights under the Bellus License Agreement that are sublicensed to Alzheon thereunder), provided that any such sublicense complies with the requirements set forth in Section 2.3 of the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement.

(b) Bellus and FB Health acknowledge and agree that Section 2.4 of the Bellus License Agreement is hereby amended, superseded and replaced in its entirety to read as follows: “[ * ].”

(c) Upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event with respect to Bellus, FB Health shall, upon Alzheon’s request, exercise any and all rights granted to FB Health under Section 2.5 of the Bellus License Agreement and/or any and all of FB Health’s rights, elections, powers and remedies existing at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Code). In the event that FB Health fails to exercise such rights within [ * ] after Alzheon’s request, FB Health hereby irrevocably appoints Alzheon as its attorney-in-fact with the right, authority and ability to exercise such rights on behalf of FB Health, and Bellus hereby acknowledges such appointment and agrees to accept Alzheon’s exercise of such rights on behalf of FB Health. FB Health and Bellus acknowledge and agree that such appointment is a right coupled with an interest and will survive the incapacity or unavailability of FB Health at any time.

(d) Bellus and FB Health acknowledge and agree that a new sentence is hereby added to the end of Section 2.6 of the Bellus License Agreement: “[ * ].”

(e) Bellus acknowledges and agrees that the diligence obligations set forth in Section 3.1.2 of the Alzheon License Agreement shall satisfy the requirements of Sections 2.3 and 3.1.2 of the Bellus License Agreement.

(f) The parties hereto agree that, at the request of FB Health, Alzheon shall make any payments owed by Alzheon to FB Health under Section 4.1 of the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement directly to Bellus, as consideration for amounts owed by FB to Bellus under the Bellus License Agreement. Such payments by Alzheon to Bellus shall fully satisfy Alzheon’s obligation to make such payments to FB Health under the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Article 5 of the Bellus License Agreement, FB Health may disclose Confidential Information of Bellus to Alzheon, provided that such disclosure complies with the requirements of Section 5.2 of the Bellus License Agreement. The parties hereto recognize that, from time to time, Alzheon might receive from Bellus or FB Health Confidential Information of Bellus (or other information that would have constituted Confidential Information of Bellus under the Bellus License Agreement if it had been disclosed by Bellus to FB Health) (collectively, “Bellus Information”). The parties hereto agree that the terms and conditions of Article 5 of the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement that apply to Confidential Information of FB Health shall also apply to such Bellus Information, except that references in Article 5 to the “other Party” with respect to such Bellus Information shall be deemed to refer to Bellus, not FB Health.

(i) The parties hereto agree that: (i) Bellus may not publicly disclose the existence or terms or any other matter of fact regarding the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement without the prior written consent of Alzheon (except to the extent such disclosure would be permitted under Section 5.4 of the Bellus License Agreement if it applied to the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement); (ii) none of the parties hereto may publicly disclose the existence or terms or any other matter of fact regarding this Letter Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto (except to the extent such disclosure would be permitted under Section 5.4 of the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement if it applied to this Letter Agreement); and (iii) following the execution of the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement, the parties shall issue a mutually agreed joint press release, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(j) The representatives designated by each of Bellus, FB Health and Alzheon pursuant to Article 6 of the Bellus License Agreement or Article 6 of the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement, as applicable, shall coordinate and serve to facilitate communication among the parties regarding matters related to this Letter Agreement.

Bellus shall not incur or permit to exist (and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to incur or permit to exist), with respect to any Licensed Technology, any lien, encumbrance, charge, security interest, mortgage, liability, grant of license to Third Parties or other restriction (including in connection with any indebtedness).

(n) Bellus, FB Health and Alzheon acknowledge and agree that: (a) Alzheon shall be an express third party beneficiary of the Bellus License Agreement to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Letter Agreement and (b) Bellus shall be an express third party beneficiary of the Alzheon Sublicense Agreement to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Letter Agreement.
