If, after the expiration of such [**]-day period (or, if earlier, the date upon which Epizyme provides written notice that it does not plan to bring suit), Epizyme has not obtained a discontinuance of infringement of the Joint Patent Right or filed suit against any such Third Party infringer of the Joint Patent Right, then Abbott shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such Third Party infringer of the Joint Patent Right, provided that Abbott shall bear all the expenses of such suit, and further provided that such infringement is not the result of a notice to Epizyme from such Third Party infringer under 21 U.S.C. §355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) (“Paragraph IV Notice”) with respect to any Joint Patent Right and any Epizyme product for which Epizyme holds an approved New Drug Application. Epizyme will reasonably cooperate with Abbott, at Epizyme’s expense, in any such suit for infringement of a Joint Patent Right brought by Abbott against a Third Party, and shall have the right to consult with Abbott and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense. Any recoveries obtained by Epizyme or Abbott, as applicable, as a result of any proceeding against such a Third Party infringer shall be allocated as follows: (A) such recovery shall first be used to reimburse each Party for all reasonable attorney fees and other litigation costs actually incurred in connection with such litigation by that Party, and (B) any remainder shall be allocated [**] percent ([**]%) to the enforcing Party and [**] percent ([**]%) to the non-enforcing Party; provided, however, that Epizyme shall be entitled to retain all such recoveries if the proceeding against a Third Party infringer is a result of the Third Party’s filing of a Paragraph IV Notice with respect to a Epizyme product for which Epizyme holds an approved New Drug Application.

(i) Abbott and Epizyme agree to cooperate with respect to filing for and prosecuting any application for patent term extension of any Joint Patent Right to the extent such patent term extension is not based on the approval of any New Drug Application or any other regulatory approval for an Epizyme Product (“Term Extension”). Epizyme shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to file and prosecute a Term Extension, at its sole cost and expense. Where Epizyme decides not to file for a Term Extension, it shall provide Abbott written notice thereof at least [**] days before the deadline for filing a Term Extension for the particular Joint Patent Right. After such notice, Abbott shall have the right, but not the obligation, to file and prosecute a Term Extension, at its sole cost and expense. The party prosecuting a Term Extension will keep the other party apprised of the prosecution. For the avoidance of doubt, Epizyme shall have no obligation to seek or permit Abbott to seek any patent term extension relating to any regulatory approval of an Epizyme Product.

(j) Abbott agrees that Epizyme shall have the right to list any Joint Patent Right in an Orange Book filing for the Compound and any Epizyme Product, in its sole discretion, where Epizyme reasonably determines the particular Joint Patent Right is eligible for listing in the Orange Book as applicable to the Compound or any Epizyme Product.

TERM AND TERMINATION

9.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect on a country-by-country basis until the date on which Epizyme ceases to market an Epizyme Product in such country of the Territory.

9.2 Breach. If either Party (the “Breaching Party”) commits a material breach or default of any of its obligations hereunder, the other Party hereto (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may give the Breaching Party written notice of such material breach or default. If the Breaching Party fails to cure such breach or default within [**] days after the date of the Non-Breaching Party’s notice thereof, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Breaching Party.

9.3 Bankruptcy or Insolvency. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, immediately by giving written notice of termination to the other Party, if the other Party files a voluntary petition, or if an involuntary petition is granted in respect of the other Party and appeal proceedings are not commenced within ten (10) business days from the date of such petition under the bankruptcy provisions of Applicable Law, or the other Party is declared insolvent, undergoes voluntary or involuntary dissolution, or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or is unable to pay its debts as they come due, or suffers the appointment of a

The Parties agree that each Party, as a licensee of such intellectual property rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

9.4 Injunction.

(a) Abbott may terminate this Agreement upon providing Epizyme ninety (90) days prior written notice if: (i) Abbott’s making, having made, importing, exporting, using, distributing, marketing, promoting, offering for sale or selling the Diagnostic Test for the Diagnostic Intended Use; or (ii) Epizyme’s offering for sale or selling the Epizyme Product, in either case ((i) or (ii)) is (x) enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction because such enjoined activity actually or allegedly infringes or misappropriates a Third Party’s intellectual property rights, (y) such actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation is not infringement or misappropriation for which Abbott is obligated to indemnify Epizyme pursuant to Section 10.2(b), and (z) during such ninety (90) day period, Epizyme is unable or unwilling to obtain a license to the applicable Third Party intellectual property rights; provided that such termination shall be limited to the countries affected by such injunction.

(b) Epizyme may terminate this Agreement upon providing Abbott ninety (90) days prior written notice if Abbott’s making, having made, importing, exporting, using, distributing, marketing, promoting, offering for sale or selling the Diagnostic Test is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction because such enjoined activity actually or allegedly infringes or misappropriates a Third Party’s intellectual property rights and, during such ninety (90) day period, Abbott is unable or unwilling to obtain a license to the applicable Third Party intellectual property rights; provided that such termination shall be limited to the countries affected by such injunction. In the event that Epizyme terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.4(b), and the injunction that is the basis for such termination is based on actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation for which Abbott is obligated to indemnify Epizyme pursuant to Section 10.2(b), Abbott shall refund to Epizyme in full (i) all Payment Timetable payment amounts made by Epizyme to Abbott under Sections 5.1 and 5.2 prior to such termination and (ii) all amounts paid by Epizyme to Abbott or to any Third Party under Sections 2.3(b) and 5.4 prior to such termination, and in addition to the refund amounts described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) Abbott shall pay to Epizyme a termination payment equal to [**] percent of the initially budgeted aggregate Payment Timetable payment amounts under Section 5.1 (i.e., [**]U.S. Dollars ($[**]).

9.6 Survival. Termination of the Agreement for whatever reason in accordance with the provisions hereof or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect the accrued rights of the Parties, and shall not limit remedies that may be otherwise available in law or equity. Articles 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. Survival or termination of the licenses granted in Article 7 shall be governed by the terms set forth in Article 9.7.

9.7 Licenses Survive. If Abbott terminates this Agreement for any reason, the licenses and rights granted by Abbott to Epizyme in Section 2.4 and Article 7 shall continue on a fully paid and perpetual basis. If Epizyme terminates this Agreement for any reason, then (a) the licenses and rights granted by Epizyme to Abbott in Section 2.4 and Article 7 shall continue on a fully paid and perpetual basis, (b) if such termination occurs prior to the regulatory registration of the Diagnostic Test in any country, the licenses and rights granted by Abbott to Epizyme in Section 7.8 shall continue on a fully paid and perpetual basis, and (c) if such termination occurs after the regulatory registration of the Diagnostic Test in any country, the licenses and rights granted by Abbott to Epizyme in Section 2.4 and Article 7 shall continue on a fully paid and perpetual basis, provided that any regulatory or promotional materials used by Epizyme and its permitted assigns and sublicensees in relation to the Diagnostic Test shall be consistent with Epizyme’s and its permitted assigns’ and sublicensees’ package insert for the Epizyme Product as approved by the applicable Regulatory Authority.

10.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Each indemnified Party shall notify the indemnifying Party in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Claim within [**] business days after receipt by such indemnified Party of notice of the Epizyme Claim or Abbott Claim, as the case may be, or otherwise becoming aware of the existence or threatened existence thereof (such Epizyme Claim or Abbott Claim being referred to as a “Claim”). Failure to give such notice shall not constitute a defense, in whole or in part, to any claim by an indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent the rights of the indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. An indemnifying Party shall have no obligation or liability under this Article 10 as to any Claim for which settlement or compromise of such Claim, or an offer of settlement or compromise of such Claim, is made by an indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) The indemnifying Party shall assume exclusive control of the defense and settlement (including all decisions relating to litigation, defense and appeal) of any such Claim; provided, however, that, without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the indemnifying Party may not settle such Claim in any manner that would: (i) require payment (unless fully indemnified hereunder) or admission of liability by the indemnified Party; (ii) materially adversely affect the rights granted to the indemnified Party under this Agreement; (iii) materially conflict with the terms of this Agreement; or (iv) adversely affect other products or services of the indemnified Party or its Affiliates.

(c) The indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in its defense of the Claim (including making documents and records available for review and copying and making persons within its control available for pertinent testimony in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Article 6, and neither Party shall be required to divulge privileged material to the other). The indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, the defense of such Claim using attorneys of its choice and at its sole cost and expense, with such cost and expense not being covered by the indemnifying Party. If an indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Claim asserted against the indemnified Party, or if the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Claim in accordance with Section 10.3 yet fails to defend or take other reasonable, timely action, in response to such Claim asserted against the indemnified Party, the indemnified Party shall have the right to defend or take other reasonable action to defend its interests in such proceedings, and shall have the right to litigate, settle or otherwise dispose of any such Claim, without in any way limiting the indemnified Party’s right to be fully indemnified under this Section 10.1 for all Abbott Losses or Epizyme Losses, as applicable; provided, however, that, without the indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the indemnified Party may not settle such Claim in any manner that would: (i) require payment by the indemnifying Party; (ii) materially adversely affect the rights granted to the indemnifying Party under this Agreement; (iii) materially conflict with the terms of this Agreement; or (iv) adversely affect other products or services of the indemnifying Party or its Affiliates.

(d) Neither Party will assert any Claim for indemnification under this Agreement more than two (2) years after the Claim arises.

10.4 Liability Limitation. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF A PARTY’S CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 6, OR FOR SUCH DAMAGES THAT MAY BE PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES AND SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 10, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST REVENUES, PROFITS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT THE OTHER PARTY WAS OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE DAMAGES.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

The parties recognize that a bona fide dispute as to certain matters may arise from time to time during the term of this Agreement which relates to either party’s rights and/or obligations. To have such a dispute resolved by this Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) provision, a party first must send written notice of the dispute to the other party for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations between their respective representatives of the affected subsidiaries, divisions, or business units within [**] days after such notice is received (all references to “days” in this ADR provision are to calendar days).

If the matter has not been resolved within [**] days of the notice of dispute, or if the parties fail to meet within such [**] days, either party may initiate an ADR proceeding as provided herein. The parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel in such a proceeding.

1. To begin an ADR proceeding, a party shall provide written notice to the other party of the issues to be resolved by ADR. Within [**] days after its receipt of such notice, the other party may, by written notice to the party initiating the ADR, add additional issues to be resolved within the same ADR.

2. Within [**] days following receipt of the original ADR notice, the parties shall select a mutually acceptable neutral to preside in the resolution of any disputes in this ADR proceeding. If the parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable neutral within such period, the parties shall request the President of the Center for Public Resources (“CPR”), 366 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017 to select a neutral pursuant to the following procedures:

(a) The CPR shall submit to the parties a list of not less than five (5) candidates within [**] days after receipt of the request from the parties, along with a Curriculum Vitae for each candidate. No candidate shall be an employee, director, or shareholder of either party or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.

(b) Such list shall include a statement of disclosure by each candidate of any circumstances likely to affect his or her impartiality.

(c) Each party shall number the candidates in order of preference (with the number one (1) signifying the greatest preference) and shall deliver the list to the CPR within [**] days following receipt of the list of candidates. If a party believes a conflict of interest exists regarding any of the candidates that party shall provide a written explanation of the conflict to the CPR along with its list showing its order of preference for the candidates. Any party failing to return a list of preferences on time shall be deemed to have no order of preference.

(d) If the parties collectively have identified fewer than three (3) candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR immediately shall designate as the neutral the candidate for whom the parties collectively have indicated the greatest preference. If a tie should result

between two candidates, the CPR may designate either candidate. If the parties collectively have identified three (3) or more candidates deemed to have conflicts, the CPR shall review the explanations regarding conflicts and, in its sole discretion, may either (i) immediately designate as the neutral the candidate for whom the parties collectively have indicated the greatest preference, or (ii) issue a new list of not less than five (5) candidates, in which case the procedures set for in subparagraphs 2(a) - 2(d) above shall be repeated.

3. No earlier than [**] days or later than [**] days after selection, the neutral shall hold a hearing to resolve each of the issues identified by the parties. The ADR proceeding shall take place at a location agreed upon by the parties. If the parties cannot agree, the neutral shall designate a location other than the principal place of business of either party or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.

4. At least [**] days prior to the hearing, each party shall submit the following to the other party and the neutral:

(a) a copy of all exhibits on which such party intends to rely in any oral or written presentation to the neutral;

(b) a list of any witnesses such party intends to call at the hearing, and a short summary of the anticipated testimony of each witness;

(c) a proposed ruling on each issue to be resolved, together with a request for a specific damage award or other remedy for each issue. The proposed rulings and remedies shall not contain any recitation of the facts or any legal arguments and shall not exceed [**] per issue.

(d) a brief in support of such party’s proposed rulings and remedies, provided that the brief shall not exceed [**] pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.

Except as expressly set forth in subparagraphs 4(a) - 4(d) above, no discovery shall be required or permitted by any means, including depositions, interrogatories, requests for admissions, or production of documents.

5. The hearing shall be conducted on [**] consecutive days and shall be governed by the following rules:

(a) Each party shall be entitled to [**] hours of hearing time to present its case. The neutral shall determine whether each party has had the [**] hours to which it is entitled.

(b) Each party shall be entitled, but not required, to make an opening statement, to present regular and rebuttal testimony, documents or other evidence, to cross-examine witnesses, and to make a closing argument. Cross-examination of witnesses shall occur immediately after their direct testimony, and cross-examination time shall be charged against the party conducting the cross-examination.

(c) The party initiating the ADR shall begin the hearing and, if it chooses to make an opening statement, shall address not only issues it has raised but also any issues raised by the responding party. The responding party, if it chooses to make an opening statement, also shall address all issues raised in the ADR. Thereafter, the presentation of regular and rebuttal testimony and documents, other evidence, and closing arguments shall proceed in the same sequence.

(d) Witnesses shall be excluded from the hearing until closing arguments.

(e) Neither affidavits nor settlement negotiations shall be admissible under any circumstances. As to all other matters, the neutral shall have sole discretion regarding the admissibility of any evidence.

6. Within [**] days following completion of the hearing, each party may submit to the other party and the neutral a post-hearing brief in support of its proposed rulings and remedies, provided that such brief shall not contain or discuss any new evidence and shall not exceed [**] pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.

7. The neutral shall rule on each disputed issue within [**] days following completion of the hearing. Such ruling shall adopt in its entirety the proposed ruling and remedy of one of the parties on each disputed issue but may adopt one party’s proposed rulings and remedies on some issues and the other party’s proposed rulings and remedies on other issues. The neutral shall not issue any written opinion or otherwise explain the basis of the ruling.

8. The neutral shall be paid a reasonable fee plus expenses. These fees and expenses, along with the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party (including all expert witness fees and expenses), the fees and expenses of a court reporter, and any expenses for a hearing room, shall be paid as follows:

(a) If the neutral rules in favor of one party on all disputed issues in the ADR, the losing party shall pay 100% of such fees and expenses.

(b) If the neutral rules in favor of one party on some issues and the other party on other issues, the neutral shall issue with the rulings a written determination as to how such fees and expenses shall be allocated between the parties. The neutral shall allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship to the outcome of the ADR, with the party prevailing on more issues, or on issues of greater value or gravity, recovering a relatively larger share of its legal fees and expenses.

9. The rulings of the neutral and the allocation of fees and expenses shall be binding, non-reviewable, and non-appealable, and may be entered as a final judgment in any court having jurisdiction.

10. Except as provided in paragraph 9 of this Exhibit or as required by law, the existence of the dispute, any settlement negotiations, the ADR hearing, any submissions (including exhibits, testimony, proposed rulings, and briefs), and the rulings shall be deemed Confidential Information. The neutral shall have the authority to impose sanctions for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information.

11. The neutral may not award punitive damages. The parties hereby waive the right to punitive damages.

12. The hearings shall be conducted in the English language in Boston, Massachusetts.
