14.12 CREATE Act

It is the intention of the Parties that this Agreement is a “joint research agreement” as that phrase is defined in 35 USC § 102(c) (AIA). In the event that either Party to this Agreement intends to overcome a rejection of a claimed invention covered by Joint Patent Rights or the Atea Patent Rights pursuant to the provisions of 35 USC §§ 102(a)-(d), such Party shall first obtain the prior written consent of the other Party. Following receipt of such written consent, such Party shall limit any amendment to the specification or statement to the patent office with respect to this Agreement to that which is strictly required by the applicable subsection of 35 USC § 102 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and which is consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the scope of the Global Development Plan). To the extent that the Parties agree that, in order to overcome a rejection of a claimed invention covered by Joint Patent Rights or the Atea Patent Rights pursuant to the provisions of the applicable subsection of 35 USC § 102, if the filing of a terminal disclaimer is required or advisable, the Parties shall first agree on terms and conditions under which the patent application subject to such terminal disclaimer and the patent or application over which such application is disclaimed shall be jointly enforced, to the extent that the Parties have not previously agreed to such terms and conditions. In the event that Roche enters into an agreement with a Third Party with respect to the further research, development or commercialization of a Product, Atea shall, upon Roche’s request, similarly enter into such agreement with such Third Party for the purposes of furthering the Parties’ objectives under this Agreement, provided that such agreement does not place any material obligation on Atea.

14.13 Infringement

Each Party shall promptly provide written notice to the other Party during the Agreement Term of any (a) known infringement or suspected infringement by a Third Party of any Atea Patent Rights, Roche Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights (an “Infringement”), or (b) known or suspected unauthorized use or misappropriation by a Third Party of any Atea Know-How, Roche Know-How or Joint Know-How (a “Misappropriation”), and shall provide the other Party with all evidence in its possession supporting such Infringement or Misappropriation.

Within [***] days after the Dominant Party provides or receives such written notice (“Decision Period”), the Dominant Party, in its sole discretion, shall decide whether or not to initiate a suit or action in the Territory regarding such infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation and shall notify other Party of its decision in writing (“Suit Notice”). The “Dominant Party” shall be (i) Roche in the case of (A) a Misappropriation of Roche Know-How in the Atea Territory (a “US Roche Know-How Misappropriation” or (B) an Infringement or Misappropriation in the Roche Territory, and (ii) Atea in the case of an Infringement or Misappropriation of in the Atea Territory other than a US Roche Know-How Misappropriation.

- 39 -

If the Dominant Party decides to bring a suit or take action, once the Dominant Party provides Suit Notice, the Dominant Party may immediately commence such suit or take such action. In the event that the Dominant Party (i) does not in writing advise the other Party within the Decision Period that the Dominant Party will commence suit or take action, or (ii) fails to commence suit or take action within a reasonable time after providing Suit Notice, the other Party shall thereafter have the right to commence suit or take action and shall provide written notice to the Dominant Party of any such suit commenced or action taken by it.

Upon written request, the Party bringing suit or taking action (“Initiating Party”) shall keep the other Party informed of the status of any such suit or action and shall provide the other Party with copies, to the extent the Initiating Party is lawfully permitted to do so, of all substantive documents or communications filed in such suit or action. The Initiating Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any such suit or action; provided that the other Party may engage counsel to monitor such suit or action at such other Party’s expense.

The Initiating Party shall, except as provided below, pay all expenses of the suit or action, including the Initiating Party’s attorneys’ fees and court costs. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, and subject to the Parties’ respective obligations under Article 16, all monies recovered upon the final judgment or settlement of any action described in this Section 14.13 shall be used as follows:

If the Initiating Party believes it is reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain an effective remedy, upon written request the other Party agrees to be joined as a party to the suit or action but shall be under no obligation to participate except to the extent that such participation is required as the result of its being a named party to the suit or action. At the Initiating Party’s written request, the other Party shall offer reasonable assistance to the Initiating Party in connection therewith at no charge to the Initiating Party except for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the other Party in rendering such assistance. The other Party shall have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit or action by its own counsel at its own expense.

The Initiating Party may settle, consent judgment or otherwise voluntarily dispose of the suit or action (“Settlement”) without the written consent of the other Party but only if such Settlement can be achieved without adversely affecting the other Party or its Affiliates (including their interest in and to the Product or to any of their Patent Rights). If a Settlement could adversely affect the other Party, then the written consent of the other Party would be required, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

For any patent that is not an Atea Patent Right or a Joint Patent Right, Roche, in its sole discretion, shall decide whether or not to initiate such suit or action in the Territory. Roche shall have full discretion as to how it wishes to handle such suit and may reach Settlement and retain all damages, settlement fees or other consideration under any terms and conditions it desires and retain whatever proceeds are realized in such suit or action. Only if a Settlement could adversely affect Atea or its Affiliates (including their interest in and to the Product or to any of their Patent Rights) shall the written consent of Atea be required, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Atea Pharmaceuticals Announces Strategic Collaboration with Roche to Develop and Distribute AT-527 for Patients with COVID-19

Roche Obtains Exclusive Right to Develop and Distribute AT-527 Outside the United States

BOSTON, Mass., October 22, 2020 – Atea Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing antiviral therapeutics to improve the lives of patients suffering from life-threatening viral infections, today announces that the company has entered into an agreement with Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) for the exclusive rights to research, develop and distribute AT-527 as an oral antiviral treatment for COVID-19 in territories outside of the United States. Under the terms of the agreement, Atea will receive an upfront payment of $350 million in cash from Roche with the potential for future milestone payments and royalties.

“Roche shares our passion for delivering innovative new medicines to address great unmet medical needs. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for a novel, oral antiviral to treat this highly infectious and often deadly virus,” said Jean-Pierre Sommadossi, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Atea Pharmaceuticals. “This collaboration with Roche enhances Atea’s efforts and underscores the potential for AT-527 to effectively address the COVID-19 crisis on a global scale. AT-527 is expected to be ideally suited to combat COVID-19 as it inhibits viral replication by interfering with viral RNA polymerase, a key component in the replication machinery of RNA viruses. Importantly, the manufacturing process for our small molecule direct-acting antiviral allows us to produce AT-527 quickly and at scale.”

“The ongoing complexities of COVID-19 require multiple lines of defence. By joining forces with Atea, we hope to offer an additional treatment option for hospitalised and non-hospitalised COVID-19 patients, and provide important relief for hospital infrastructures during a global pandemic.” said Bill Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of Roche Pharmaceuticals. “In jointly developing and manufacturing AT-527 at scale, we seek to make this treatment option available to as many people around the world as we possibly can.”

About AT-527

AT-527 is an orally administered, direct-acting antiviral agent derived from Atea’s purine nucleotide prodrug platform. At-527 is currently under evaluation as a treatment for patients with COVID-19. AT-527 is designed to inhibit viral replication by interfering with viral RNA polymerase, a key component in the replication machinery of RNA viruses, such as positive single-stranded human flaviviruses and human coronaviruses. AT-527 is currently in a global Phase 2 clinical study for hospitalized patients with moderate COVID-19 and has plans to initiate a global, registrational Phase 3 clinical trial in outpatients in the first half of 2021. Additionally, Atea is planning to study in a Phase 3 clinical trial the use of AT-527 in the post-exposure prophylaxis setting.

Roche Form of Press Release

Roche announces collaboration with Atea Pharmaceuticals to develop a potential oral treatment for COVID-19 patients

Basel, xx October 2020—Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) and Atea Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today that they are joining forces in the fight against COVID-19 to develop, manufacture and distribute AT-527, Atea’s investigational oral direct-acting antiviral, to people around the globe. AT-527 acts by blocking the viral RNA polymerase enzyme needed for viral replication, and is currently being studied in a Phase 2 clinical trial for hospitalised patients with moderate COVID-19. A Phase 3 clinical trial, expected to start in Q1 2021, will explore the potential use in patients outside of the hospital setting. In addition, AT-527 may be developed for post-exposure prophylactic settings.

AT-527, while being a potential oral treatment option for hospitalised patients, also holds the potential to be the first oral treatment option for COVID-19 patients that are not hospitalised. Additionally, the manufacturing process of small-molecule DAAs allows the ability to produce large quantities of a much needed treatment. If successful, AT-527 could help treat patients early, reduce the progression of the infection, and contribute to decreasing the overall burden on health systems.

The collaboration aims to accelerate the clinical development and manufacturing of AT-527, to investigate its safety and efficacy, and to provide this potential treatment option to patients around the world as quickly as possible. If AT-527 proves safe and effective in clinical trials and regulatory approvals are granted, Atea will be responsible for distributing this treatment option in the U.S, with the option to request Genentech’s support, and Roche will be responsible for distribution outside the United States.

“The ongoing complexities of COVID-19 require multiple lines of defence. By joining forces with Atea, we hope to offer an additional treatment option for hospitalised and non-hospitalised COVID-19 patients, and to ease the burden on hospitals during a global pandemic.” said Bill Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of Roche Pharmaceuticals. “In jointly developing and manufacturing AT-527 at scale, we seek to make this treatment option available to as many people around the world as we possibly can.”

About AT-527

AT-527 is an investigational, oral, purine nucleotide prodrug, which has demonstrated in vitro and in vivo antiviral activity against several enveloped single-stranded RNA viruses, including human flaviviruses and coronaviruses. This highly selective purine nucleotide prodrug was designed to uniquely inhibit viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase, an enzyme that is essential for the replication of RNA viruses. Antiviral activity and safety of AT-527 has been demonstrated in Phase 2 clinical studies of hepatitis C patients, and in preclinical in-vitro assays with SARS-CoV2 virus. AT-527 is not yet licensed or approved for any indication in the United States or any other country.

About Roche’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic

As a leading healthcare company we are doing all we can to support countries in minimising the impact of COVID-19. We have developed a growing number of diagnostic solutions that help to detect and diagnose the infection in patients, as well as providing digital support to healthcare systems, and we continue to identify, develop and support potential therapies which can play a role in treating the disease.

We understand the impact of COVID-19 goes beyond those who contract it, which is why we are working with healthcare providers, laboratories, authorities and organisations to help make sure that patients continue to receive the tests, treatment and care they need during these challenging times. As we learn from the pandemic, we are partnering with governments and others to make healthcare stronger and more sustainable in the future.

Our research into therapies:

Roche is committed to improving the treatment of COVID-19. We are actively involved in understanding the potential of our existing portfolio and are exploring the potential of our investigational molecules.

In August, we announced a partnership with Regeneron to develop, manufacture, and increase global supply of their investigational antibody combination for COVID-19 if it proves safe and effective in clinical trials and regulatory approvals are granted.

At the beginning of the pandemic, on 19 March, we announced the initiation of COVACTA— a global Phase III randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous Actemra©/RoActemra© (tocilizumab) plus standard of care in hospitalised adult patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia compared to placebo plus standard of care. On 29 July we announced that COVACTA did not meet its primary endpoint of improved clinical status in patients with COVID-19 associated pneumonia or the key secondary endpoint of reduced mortality.

Separately, we have studied Actemra©/RoActemra© in the EMPACTA study in COVID-19 associated hospitalised pneumonia in patients that are often underrepresented in clinical trials. On 18 September we announced that the phase III EMPACTA study showed Actemra/RoActemra plus standard of care reduced the likelihood of progression to mechanical ventilation or death in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 associated pneumonia compared to placebo plus standard of care. However, there was no statistical difference in mortality between patients who received Actemra/RoActemra or placebo

Actemra©/RoActemra© is also being studied in combination with the investigational antiviral remdesivir in hospitalised patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia in the REMDACTA trial in partnership with Gilead, announced 28 May. Actemra©/RoActemra© is not approved by any health authority for use in COVID-19 pneumonia. Roche has further initiated an internal early research programme focused on the development of medicines for COVID-19 and is engaged in multiple research collaborations.

In these exceptional times, Roche stands together with governments, healthcare providers and all those working to overcome the pandemic.
