“MARKET SHARE” means the aggregate of the unit volume of all GENERICS and the LICENSED PRODUCT in a country as reported by an independent third party source of market share of GENERICS (for example, Synovate, Verispan or Walters Kluwer, or the like), such source, if not Synovate, Verispan or Walters Kluwer, to be identified in the report to be provided by LICENSEE under Section 9.1. In the event that the available third party source provides data on the percentage of MARKET SHARE achieved by GENERICS based on an indicator other than by unit volume (for example, patient share or number of prescriptions written or filled), then such alternate indicator shall be used to determine the percentage of “MARKET SHARE” achieved by GENERICS.

In the event MARKET SHARE of GENERICS is not measured and reported by a THIRD PARTY source in a given country, the EARNED ROYALTIES payable to YALE with respect to NET SALES by LICENSEE or a SUBLICENSEE in such country will be reduced as follows, when calculated on a quarterly basis:

(i) [* * *]; and

(ii) [* * *]

(h) No reductions due to GENERIC(S) under this Article 6.8 shall be permitted without reporting on a country-by-country basis of the actual determination of the amount of GENERIC sales of a given LICFNED PRODUCT. Such a report shall be provided pursuant to Section 9.1.

SUBLICENSEES under any such sublicense as if such performance were carried out by LICENSEE itself, including, without limitation, the payment of any royalties or other payments provided for hereunder, regardless of whether the terms of any sublicense provide for such amounts to be paid by the SUBLICENSEE directly to YALE.

10.1 LICENSEE shall be responsible for past United States patent expenses for which Yale has not received consideration associated with LICENSED PATENTS pursuant to Article 5.1(b), and present and future on-going costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of all United States patent applications contained in the LICENSED PATENTS. Any and all such United States patent applications, and resulting issued patents, shall remain the property of YALE.

10.2 LICENSEE shall be responsible for past foreign patent expenses for which Yale has not received consideration associated with LICENSED PATENTS pursuant to Article 5.1(b), and present and future on-going costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of all foreign patent applications, and patents contained in the LICENSED PATENTS in the countries outside the United States in the LICENSED TERRITORY selected by YALE and agreed to by LICENSEE. All such applications or patents shall remain the property of YALE. LICENSEE acknowledges that YALE shall not be required to file any such

applications in low or lower-middle income countries, as designated by the World Bank (www.worldbank.org). Furthermore, LICENSEE agrees not to file any patent rights that are owned by LICENSEE and that claim LICENSED PRODUCTS in any such low-income or lower-middle income countries.

10.3 If, upon the request of YALE, LICENSEE does not agree in writing to pay the expenses of filing, prosecuting or maintaining a given patent application or a given patent in any country outside the United States, or fails to pay the expenses of filing, prosecuting or maintaining a given patent application or patent in the United. States, then LICENSEE’s rights under this Agreement shall terminate automatically with respect to that given patent in that country.

10.4 The costs mentioned in Articles 10.2 and 10.3 shall include, but are not limited to, any past, present and future taxes, annuities, working fees, maintenance fees, renewal and extension charges. Payment of such costs shall be made, at YALE’S option, either directly to patent counsel or by reimbursement to YALE. In either case, LICENSEE shall make payment directly to the appropriate party within [* * *] days of receiving its invoice. YALE shall provide LICENSEE with a schedule of proposed patent filings, including jurisdictions and instruct patent counsel to provide fee estimates for review by LICENSEE. If LICENSEE elects in advance not to pay for such filings, or subsequently fails to make payment to YALE or patent counsel of such fees, as the case may be, within the [* * *] day period from receipt by LICENSEE of the applicable invoice, LICENSEE shall be charged a [* * *] ([* * *]%) surcharge on the invoiced amount plus interest at the rate of [* * *]% per month or fraction thereof or such higher amount as may be charged by patent counsel. Failure of LICENSEE to pay the costs of patent prosecution in a given territory within [* * *] days of invoice by YALE shall be grounds for termination by YALE of LICENSE under Article 13 in that territory for which such patent expenses have not been paid..

11. INFRINGEMENT AND LITIGATION

11.1 Each party shall promptly notify the other in writing in the event that it obtains knowledge of infringing activity by third parties, or is sued or threatened with an infringement suit, in any country in the LICENSED TERRITORY as a result of activities that concern the LICENSED PATENTS, and shall supply the other party with documentation of the infringing activities that it possesses.

11.2 During the TERM of this Agreement:

(a) LICENSEE shall have the first right to defend the LICENSED PATENTS against infringement or interference in the FIELD and in the LICENSED TERRITORY by third parties. This right includes bringing any legal action for infringement and defending any counter claim of invalidity or action of a third party for declaratory judgment for non-infringement or non-interference. If, in the reasonable opinion of both LICENSEE’s and YALE’s respective counsel, YALE is required to be a named party to any such suit for standing purposes, LICENSEE may join YALE as a party; provided, however, that (i) YALE shall not be the first named party in any such action, (ii) the pleadings and any public statements about the action shall state that the action is being pursued by LICENSEE and that LICENSEE has joined YALE as a party; and (iii) LICENSEE shall keep YALE reasonably apprised of all developments in any such action. LICENSEE may settle such suits solely in its own name and solely at its own expense and through counsel of its own selection; provided, however, that no settlement shall be entered without YALE’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Without limiting the foregoing YALE may withhold its consent to any settlement that would in any manner constitute or incorporate an admission by YALE or require YALE to take or refrain from taking any action. LICENSEE shall bear the expense of such legal actions. Except for providing reasonable assistance, at the request and expense of LICENSEE, YALE shall have no obligation regarding the legal actions described in Article 11.2 unless required to participate by law. However, YALE shall have the right to participate in any such action through its own counsel and at its own expense. Any recovery shall first be applied to LICENSEE’s out of pocket expenses and second shall be applied to YALE’s out of pocket expenses, including legal fees. YALE shall recover [* * *]% of any excess recovery over those expenses.

(b) Except as provided in Article 11(a) above, in the event LICENSEE fails to initiate and pursue or participate in the actions described in Article (a) within [* * *] days of (a) notification of infringement from YALE or (b) the date LICENSEE otherwise first becomes aware of an infringement, whichever is earlier, YALE may, in its sole discretion, convert the LICENSE granted in Article 3 only in the jurisdiction subject to such alleged infringement to a nonexclusive license, and

issue licenses to third parties under the LICENSED PATENTS to make, have made, use, sell, have sold, import, or practice LICENSED PRODUCTS within the FIELD in the applicable jurisdiction within the LICENSED TERRITORY. Additionally, YALE shall have the right to initiate legal action such as that described in Article 11.2(a) at its own expense and YALE may use the name of LICENSEE as party plaintiff to uphold the LICENSED PATENTS in such jurisdiction. In such case, LICENSEE shall provide reasonable assistance to YALE if requested to do so. YALE may settle such actions solely through its own counsel. Any recovery shall be retained by YALE. .

(c) In the event LICENSEE is permanently enjoined from exercising its LICENSE under this Agreement pursuant to an infringement action brought by a third party, or if both LICENSEE and YALE elect not to undertake the defense or settlement of a suit alleging infringement for a period of [* * *] months from notice of such suit, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the country where the suit was filed with respect to the licensed patent following [* * *] days’ written notice to the other party in accordance with the terms of Article 15.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither LICENSEE nor YALE shall take any action to enforce the LICENSED PATENTS, or patent rights owned by LICENSEE and which claim the LICENSED PRODUCTS, in DEVELOPING ECONOMIES, where such action is intended to prevent the sale of LICENSED PRODUCTS solely in any such countries. However, LICENSEE and/or YALE may take such action in any such country, provided that such action is intended to prevent the manufacturing of LICENSED PRODUCTS for export to countries that DEVELOPING ECONOMIES.

(c) as to a specific country if no VALID CLAIMS exist in such country pursuant to (i) or (ii) in Article 2.37 or as provided in ARTICLE 11.2(c).

This Amendment (“Amendment”) to the Agreement by and between Yale University, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of a charter granted by the general assembly of the Colony and State of Connecticut and located in New Haven, Connecticut (“Yale”), and Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd., a British Virgin Island company with principal offices located in New Haven, Connecticut (“Biohaven” and together with Yale, the “Parties”) dated as of September 30, 2013 (Yale Reference OCR4001.50; the “Original Agreement”) is effective as of the date set forth on the signature page below (the “Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Original Agreement to revise the change of control payment provision contained in Section 5.5 and the board observer rights contained in Section 4.7 of the Original Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree to amend the Original Agreement as follows:

1. Section 5.5 of the Original Agreement (“Change of Control”) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following Section 5.5, with such change effective as of the Effective Date:

5.5 Change of Control

Within Five (5) Days after the first CHANGE OF CONTROL, LICENSEE shall pay to YALE a fee of the lesser of (a) Five Percent (5%) of the dollar value of all initial and future potential consideration paid or payable by acquirer to LICENSEE shareholders, or (b) One and One Half Million Dollars ($1,500,000.00) (the “CHANGE OF CONTROL FEE”). If the CHANGE OF CONTROL is an initial public offering as described in Article 2.2(c), then (i) the CHANGE OF CONTROL FEE shall be due to YALE on the first trading day when YALE is free to sell its equity interest (rather than within Five (5) Days after the CHANGE OF CONTROL as stated above) and (ii) the CHANGE OF CONTROL FEE shall be reduced by the dollar value of YALE’s equity interest, if any, in LICENSEE as set forth in Article 5.1 on the first trading day when YALE is free to sell its equity interest, such reduction to be limited to One and One Half Million Dollar ($1,500,000.00). If, however, LICENSEE has paid the CHANGE OF CONTROL FEE in full prior to YALE crediting the value of the equity interest to the LICENSEE, then YALE shall refund to LICENSEE the value of YALE’s equity interest within Sixty (60) days from the first day when YALE is free to sell its equity interest, such refund to be limited to no more than One and One Half Million Dollar ($1,500,000.00).

2. Section 4.7 of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the words “Intentionally omitted.” This change is effective immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration statement for the initial public offering of the Company’s common shares.

3. The remaining terms and conditions of the Original Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized representatives.

Effective Date: April 1, 2017
