“A” is the average wholesale acquisition cost of the Licensed Product comprising a Licensed Compound as the sole therapeutically active ingredient during the four (4) most recently completed Calendar Quarters during which such non-Combination Products were sold in such country; and

“B” is the average wholesale acquisition cost in such country of the other therapeutically active ingredients contained in the Combination Product when sold separately during the four (4) most recently completed Calendar Quarters during which such products were sold in such country.

If “A” or “B” cannot be determined by reference to non-Combination Product sales as described above, then Net Sales for purposes of determining royalty payments will be calculated as above, but the average wholesale acquisition cost in the above equation shall be determined by mutual agreement reached in good faith by the Parties prior to the end of the accounting period in question based on an equitable method of determining same that takes into account, in the applicable country, variations in dosage units and the relative fair market value of each therapeutically active ingredient in the Combination Product. If the Parties are unable to reach such an agreement prior to the end of the applicable accounting period, then the Parties will refer such matter to a jointly selected Third Party with expertise in the pricing of pharmaceutical products that is not an employee, consultant, legal advisor, officer, director or stockholder of, and does not have any conflict of interest with respect to, either Party for resolution. If the Parties are unable to agree on such a Third Party expert within [**] days after a Party has notified the other Party that it desires to refer such matter to such a Third Party for resolution, either Party may request that the New York, New York office of the AAA appoint such an expert to resolve such matter. The resolution determined by any such expert that is either jointly selected or appointed by the AAA shall be final and binding on the Parties.

As used in this Section 1.70, “Combination Product” means a Licensed Product that contains one or more additional active ingredients (whether coformulated or copackaged) that are neither Licensed Compounds nor generic or other non-proprietary compositions-of-matter.

ARTICLE 2

TARGET SELECTION; COLLABORATION ACTIVITIES

2.1 Collaboration Overview. Pursuant to this Agreement (including the Research Plans) and as further provided in this Article 2, the Parties shall (a) perform platform discovery activities with the goal of identifying Available Targets, (b) select Selected Targets, where up to three (3) Selected Targets at any given point in time may be the subject of activities conducted by EPIZYME under the terms of the Agreement (including the Research Plans), and (c) conduct activities pursuant to a Research Plan for each Selected Target with the goal of identifying Compounds directed to such Selected Target that meet the applicable Development Candidate Selection Criteria (the “Collaboration”).

- 17 -

2.2 Targets.

2.2.1 Overview. During the Selection Term, EPIZYME shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct appropriate platform discovery activities in order to characterize Targets prioritized pursuant to Section 2.2.3, identify potential Available Targets for selection by GSK for inclusion in the Collaboration and shall provide regular updates to GSK, at JPT meetings in accordance with Section 2.5, with respect to the identification of each potential Available Target together with all material data and information in EPIZYME’s possession and Control relating to such Available Target. GSK may, but shall not be required to, identify potential Available Targets for selection by GSK for inclusion in the Collaboration. Once an Available Target is selected as a Selected Target pursuant to Section 2.2.2, a Research Plan for such Selected Target shall be promptly agreed between the Parties in accordance with Section 2.3.2 to include the discovery and other research of Compounds and Licensed Compounds directed to such Selected Targets.

2.2.2 Selected Targets. During the Selection Term, GSK shall have the right to select, from the Available Targets, up to three (3) Targets at the same time at any given point in time (each, a “Selected Target”), each of which shall be the focus of activities under a Research Plan. For clarity, at no one point in time shall more than three (3) Targets be designated as Selected Targets. While the Parties shall discuss the characteristics and relative scientific merits of each Available Target that is of potential interest, GSK shall have the final decision of whether and which Available Targets to select to be Selected Targets under this Agreement.

2.2.3 Discussion of Available Targets; ROFO Packages. At the earlier of either the first JSC meeting or the first JPT meeting following the Effective Date (the “First Meeting”), EPIZYME shall provide to GSK all material data and information within EPIZYME’s possession and Control pertaining to all Available Targets identified by EPIZYME as of the Effective Date. Thereafter during the Selection Term, EPIZYME shall notify GSK, on a regular basis at JPT meetings, of additional Available Targets identified by EPIZYME in the course of its ongoing platform discovery activities as well as notify GSK with respect to material developments in new data or information in EPIZYME’s possession and Control relating to previously identified Available Targets that remain Available Targets. Further, GSK may request that EPIZYME prioritize its platform discovery activities with respect to particular Targets and EPIZYME shall consider such requests in good faith, taking into consideration GSK’s strategic interests, as well as the Parties’ discussion of the characteristics and scientific merits of such Available Targets. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of data or other notifications regarding Available Targets shall include EPIZYME’s reasonable determination as to whether the primary therapeutic hypothesis for a particular Available Target relates to oncology Indication(s) or inflammation Indication(s) based on then-existing literature or data (an “Oncology-Inflammation Available Target”); provided, that if EPIZYME determines that an Available Target is not an Oncology-Inflammation Available Target, then GSK may require further discussion if GSK is aware of data or literature that supports GSK’s belief that such Available Target is an Oncology-Inflammation Available Target.

2.2.4 ROFO Package; Passed ROFO Targets. After the First Meeting, EPIZYME may provide written notice to GSK if EPIZYME has a bona fide interest in seeking a

- 18 -

Third Party collaborator or licensee with respect to an Available Target, together with all material data and information in EPIZYME’s possession and Control relating to such Available Target (the “ROFO Package”); provided that EPIZYME shall use reasonable efforts to provide such ROFO Package within [**] Business Days prior to the next-scheduled meeting of the JSC; and provided, further that if EPIZYME does not provide such ROFO Package within such timeframe, then EPIZYME may request a maximum of one (1) ad hoc meeting of the JSC per Calendar Quarter to review the applicable ROFO Packages, which ad hoc JSC meeting shall occur within [**] Business Days following delivery of such ROFO Packages to GSK. With respect to Oncology-Inflammation Available Targets, the ROFO Package shall include data demonstrating satisfaction of the first three criteria set forth in the “Desired Criteria to Reach Milestone” column of the “Target Validation” row of Exhibit B. GSK shall have [**] Business Days after the JSC meeting at which the applicable ROFO Package was discussed (the “Initial ROFO Target Selection Period”) to select the applicable Available Target as a Selected Target in accordance with Section 2.2.2. If GSK does not select any such offered Available Target as a Selected Target during the applicable Initial ROFO Target Selection Period (each such non-selected Available Target, a “Passed ROFO Target”), such Passed ROFO Target shall not be available for selection by GSK as a Selected Target during the [**] day period following the end of the applicable Initial ROFO Target Selection Period (the “Passed ROFO Target Selection Blackout Period”). EPIZYME shall have the right to initiate an internal program or seek a Third Party collaborator or licensee for any Passed ROFO Target; provided however that, following the applicable Passed ROFO Target Selection Blackout Period, such Passed ROFO Target shall again become an Available Target, eligible for potential selection as a Selected Target by GSK during the remainder of the Selection Term, unless and until:

(a) such Passed ROFO Target (or Compound(s) directed thereto) has been licensed by EPIZYME to a Third Party collaborator or licensee; or

(b) EPIZYME has notified GSK that a GLP Toxicology Study has been commenced by or on behalf of EPIZYME with respect to a Compound directed to such Passed ROFO Target and GSK does not select such Passed ROFO Target as a Selected Target on or before the date that is [**] days following such notification.

If GSK selects any Passed ROFO Target as a Selected Target pursuant to this Section 2.2.4, GSK shall reimburse EPIZYME for any costs or expenses incurred by EPIZYME in connection with the conduct of any GLP Toxicology Study with respect to such Passed ROFO Target as well as any costs or expenses incurred in manufacturing quantities of Licensed Compounds required for such GLP Toxicology Study, through the date of GSK’s selection of such Passed ROFO Target as a Selected Target hereunder; provided that, if EPIZYME has incurred costs or expenses in manufacturing quantities of Licensed Compounds beyond the quantities required for such GLP Toxicology Study, GSK shall only be responsible for such costs or expenses relating to the excess quantities if GSK requests that EPIZYME provide such excess quantities to GSK.

For purposes of clarity, upon the occurrence of the condition(s) specified in the foregoing clause (b) without timely selection by GSK or the occurrence of the condition(s) specified in the foregoing clause (a), such Passed ROFO Target shall no longer be an Available Target.

- 19 -

2.2.5 Dropped Targets. During the Research Term, GSK shall have the right to drop any Selected Target upon written notice to EPIZYME (each such dropped Selected Target, a “Dropped Target”), and effective upon EPIZYME’s receipt of such notice such Dropped Target shall cease to be a Selected Target and EPIZYME shall cease and no longer be obligated to conduct activities directed to such Dropped Target under the applicable Research Plan. Following the date on which a Selected Target becomes a Dropped Target, such Dropped Target shall not be available for re-selection by GSK as a Selected Target.

2.2.6 Replacement Targets.

(a) Subject always to the three (3)-Selected Target limitation set forth in Section 2.2.2, any Target selected by GSK to replace a Selected Target pursuant to Section 2.2.2 after GSK has selected all of the first three (3) Selected Targets hereunder (for example, a Target selected to replace the third Selected Target after dropping such Selected Target) shall be deemed a “Replacement Target.”

(b) If GSK selects a Replacement Target pursuant to Section 2.2.2, then subject to a new mutually agreed Research Plan in accordance with Section 2.3.2, the Parties shall undertake activities under such Research Plan directed to such Replacement Target for the remainder of the Research Term, subject to Section 2.3.3 and Section 6.2.

2.3 Research Term; Research Plan; Research Activities.

2.3.1 Research Term. The term for conducting activities under the Research Plans under the Collaboration shall commence upon the Effective Date and continue until the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Research Term”).

2.3.2 Research Plan. The initial Research Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit B, sets forth a template for the activities expected to be performed by the Parties with respect to Selected Targets. As soon as possible (but no later than [**] days) following GSK’s selection of each Selected Target pursuant to Section 2.2.2, a specific Research Plan shall be established by the JPT, with respect to such Selected Target for approval by the JSC, which Research Plan shall be substantially similar to the Research Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B; provided however that any material deviations from the Research Plan set forth in Exhibit B shall be subject to mutual agreement of the Parties.

2.3.3 FTE Budgets for the 4th Year of the Research Term. On a date that is not later than [**] months from the Effective Date, the Parties shall agree on a budget of FTE Costs and Out-of-Pocket Costs expected to be incurred by EPIZYME in the performance of each Research Plan for the fourth (4th) year of the Research Term based on the then-expected activities, if any, to occur during such year.

In addition, subject to the exclusivity obligations set forth in Section 7.1, EPIZYME retains the right, under Patents and Know-How Controlled by EPIZYME, including its interest in Joint IP, to perform ongoing platform discovery activities.

5.4 Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. All rights and licenses granted pursuant to any section of this Agreement are rights and licenses to “intellectual property” (as defined in Section 101(35A) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”)). Each Party shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.

5.5 Technical Transfer and Disclosure of Know-How. On a Selected Target by Selected Target basis, promptly following declaration by the JSC that a Licensed Compound has met the Development Candidate Criteria, to the extent not previously transferred and delivered to GSK, EPIZYME shall transfer and deliver to GSK, at EPIZYME’s cost (in order to enable GSK to practice under the licenses but without expanding the licenses granted to GSK under Section 5.1), EPIZYME Know-How and Collaboration Know-How (including material) in its Control relating to such Selected Target and all Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products directed to such Selected Target and Collaboration Know-How in its Control relating to Diagnostic Products relating to such Licensed Products, in each case as is reasonably necessary to enable GSK to Develop, manufacture and Commercialize the Licensed Compounds, Licensed Products and

- 32 -

Diagnostic Products as contemplated under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, EPIZYME shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts with respect to those activities for which it is responsible to facilitate orderly transition and uninterrupted Development, manufacture and Commercialization of all such Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products directed to such Selected Target and all Diagnostic Products relating to such Licensed Products. After the transfer described above, EPIZYME shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, upon the reasonable request of GSK, to cooperate with GSK to provide GSK with Know-How, at EPIZYME’s cost, to the extent not previously transferred and delivered to GSK, to which EPIZYME obtains Control as it may be developed, identified or exist and to which GSK has a license under Section 5.1 of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, to the extent of early termination of one or more Selected Targets pursuant to Section 12.3.1 for EPIZYME’s material breach, then (a) with respect to any Selected Target which has not been terminated, EPIZYME shall continue to comply with this Section 5.5 to the extent applicable, and (b) with respect to Selected Targets which have been terminated, if the termination occurs during the Research Term, EPIZYME’s obligations under the Research Plans applicable to such terminated Selected Targets shall terminate and EPIZYME shall cooperate with GSK to promptly provide GSK with any and all Know-How in its Control as of the effective date of such termination that would be reasonably necessary for GSK to continue its performance under this Agreement in relation to the terminated Selected Targets, to the extent such has not already been provided to GSK and without expanding the licenses granted to GSK pursuant to Section 5.1 (as contemplated in Section 12.5.2).

ARTICLE 6

FINANCIAL TERMS; EQUITY OPTION

6.1 Upfront Fee. In partial consideration for the licenses granted to GSK hereunder, GSK shall pay EPIZYME a non-refundable, non-creditable payment of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000). Such payment shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire transfer instructions of EPIZYME provided in writing to GSK on or prior to the Effective Date. Such payment shall be made within [**] Business Days after GSK’s receipt of an invoice from EPIZYME on or after the Effective Date, which invoice shall be sent in PDF format to [**] with a copy to [**].

6.2 Research Funding. GSK shall make non-refundable, non-creditable payments (the “Research Payments”) to EPIZYME for activities to be undertaken by EPIZYME under the Research Plans as follows:

(a) Commencing on the first (1^st) anniversary of the Effective Date and the date that is the first day of each Calendar Quarter after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, GSK shall pay equal Calendar Quarterly installments of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) to EPIZYME for eight (8) consecutive Calendar Quarters (with the first such Calendar Quarterly installment being due on the first anniversary of the Effective Date). For illustrative purposes only, if the Effective Date of the Agreement is January 8, 2011, then the first Research Payment would become due on January 8, 2012, and the second Research Payment would become due on April 1, 2012.

- 33 -

(b) Commencing on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Effective Date and on the date that is the first day of each Calendar Quarter of the fourth (4^th) year of the Research Term, GSK shall pay to EPIZYME advance Calendar Quarterly installments constituting the portion of the total FTE Costs and Out-of-Pocket Costs budgeted for such Calendar Quarter under the Research Plans pursuant to Section 2.3.3 (with the first such Calendar Quarterly installment being due on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Effective Date). Within [**] days following the end of the Research Term, the Parties shall conduct a reconciliation of actual FTE Costs and Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred by EPIZYME for activities conducted during the fourth (4^th) year of the Research Term against the amount budgeted for such fourth (4^th) year, and the Parties shall true up actual FTE Costs and Out-of-Pocket Costs to budgeted amounts, within [**] percent ([**]%) of the amount budgeted, for the fourth (4^th) year of the Research Term through an appropriate reconciliation payment so that GSK’s research funding payments to EPIZYME with respect to the fourth (4^th) year of the Research Term, net of such reconciliation payment, equal the actual FTE Costs and Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred by EPIZYME for activities conducted during the fourth (4^th) year of the Research Term (but not more than [**]% of the budgeted amount). If EPIZYME determines it cannot complete the activities set forth in the Research Plans for the fourth (4^th) year of the Research Term within [**] percent ([**]%) of the budgeted amounts, EPIZYME shall promptly notify GSK and, provided that such inability is not a consequence of EPIZYME’s failure to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete such activities within such agreed budget, the Parties shall discuss and mutually agree on adjustments to the scope of activities or to the budget, or both, such that EPIZYME can complete the agreed activities within the agreed budget constraint.

(c) The Research Payments shall be used by EPIZYME solely to cover the costs of the conduct of the Research Plans that are incurred after the Effective Date. No later than [**] days after the end of each Calendar Year during which EPIZYME is conducting activities under the Collaboration, EPIZYME will submit to GSK reasonable documentation as may be requested by GSK, setting forth the costs incurred for such activities and the funds from the Research Payments that were applied to such costs for the preceding Calendar Year.

(d) GSK shall make the Research Payments within [**] days after receipt of an invoice from EPIZYME, which invoice shall be sent in PDF format to [**] with a copy to [**] (or such other email address(es) as may be notified to EPIZYME by GSK), but GSK shall not be required to make such payments earlier than the scheduled dates of payment set forth above.

6.3 Equity Option. GSK shall have the option, but shall not be required, to acquire up to ten percent (10%), in its discretion, of the securities issued in EPIZYME’s next Qualified Financing (as defined below) at the closing of such Qualified Financing and pursuant to the definitive agreements for such Qualified Financing (including customary limitations applicable to strategic investors that are consistent with limitations imposed on strategic investors in EPIZYME’s prior financings) as negotiated by and among EPIZYME and the lead investors in such Qualified Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall GSK exercise such participation right to the extent that it would own more than 19.9% of EPIZYME’s outstanding capital stock upon the closing of such Qualified Financing (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of EPIZYME common stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding

- 34 -

immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of convertible securities (including preferred stock) outstanding and assuming exercise of any outstanding options therefor). For purposes of this Agreement, “Qualified Financing” means the issuance of convertible preferred stock or other securities by EPIZYME after the Effective Date in exchange for a payment of cash in a financing round led by bona fide venture capital institutional investors (i.e., excluding investors that are controlled by or under common control with an operating company in the life sciences space), where at least one (1) such bona fide venture capital institutional investor is a new investor, in which EPIZYME raises gross proceeds of at least [**] Dollars ($[**]). For purposes of clarity, the option set forth in this Section 6.3 to acquire EPIZYME securities shall only apply to EPIZYME’s next Qualified Financing and shall not apply to any subsequent financings.

6.4 Target Validation and Tractable Hit Milestone Payments. For each of the second and third Selected Targets (but not with respect to the first Selected Target), GSK shall make a non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payment to EPIZYME of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) upon the achievement of Target Validation with respect to such Selected Target and GSK shall make a non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payment to EPIZYME of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) upon the identification of a Tractable Hit with respect to such Selected Target. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) none of the milestone payments specified in this Section 6.4 shall be payable more than [**] in aggregate, and none of such milestone payments shall be payable more than one time with respect to any applicable Selected Target, (y) the milestone payments specified in this Section 6.4 shall be payable with respect to each of the second and third Selected Targets with respect to which the milestones are met regardless of whether or not any prior Selected Target(s) have been dropped and (z) if Target Validation has been achieved or a Tractable Hit has been identified prior to the selection of an applicable Selected Target, the milestone payment specified in this Section 6.4 for the achievement of Target Validation or identification of a Tractable Hit, as applicable, with respect to such Selected Target shall be payable upon the selection of such Selected Target.

6.5 Development Milestones.

6.5.1 GSK shall make the non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payments to EPIZYME that are set forth below upon the first achievement by EPIZYME, GSK, or their respective Affiliates or Sublicensees of the milestone events set forth below with respect to each Selected Target, on a Selected Target-by-Selected Target basis (except as otherwise set forth below).

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.5.2 shall require the payment of a milestone payment with respect to a Selected Target that is specified in Section 6.5.1 not to be payable with respect to such Selected Target.

6.5.3 Upon achievement by or on behalf of EPIZYME, its Affiliates or Sublicensees of a milestone event set forth in Section 6.4, in this Section 6.5 or in Section 6.6, GSK shall pay EPIZYME the corresponding milestone payment within [**] days after receipt of an invoice for the milestone payment from EPIZYME. Upon achievement by or on behalf of GSK, its Affiliates or Sublicensees of a milestone event, GSK shall promptly (but in no event more than [**] Business Days after achievement thereof) notify EPIZYME of such achievement, and GSK shall pay EPIZYME the corresponding milestone payment within [**] days after receipt of an invoice for the milestone payment from EPIZYME. Invoices shall be sent in PDF format to GSK’s Alliance Manager and [**] with a copy to [**] (or such other email address(es) as may be notified to EPIZYME by GSK).

6.5.4 If GSK chooses as a Selected Target any Passed ROFO Target, then upon such selection by GSK, GSK would pay any milestone payments set forth in this Section 6.5 or in Section 6.4 above that have been previously achieved by a Compound directed to such Passed ROFO Target; provided however that, the milestone payment set forth in Section 6.4 above would only be paid upon such selection by GSK if the milestone payment set forth in Section 6.4 above had not then previously been paid with respect to [**] other Selected Targets.

6.6 Additional Milestone for Diagnostic Products. GSK shall make a non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payment to EPIZYME of [**] Dollars ($[**]) upon the [**].

Such invoice shall be sent to GSK’s Alliance Manager and [**] with a copy to [**] (or such other email address(es) as may be notified to EPIZYME by GSK). For the avoidance of doubt, more than one of the foregoing sales milestone payments may be earned and become payable with respect to Licensed Products directed to any given Selected Target in the same Calendar Year based on aggregate world-wide Net Sales of Licensed Product(s) directed to such Selected Target during such Calendar Year.

6.8 Licensed Product Royalties.

6.8.1 Licensed Product Royalties. GSK shall pay EPIZYME incremental royalties on worldwide Annual Net Sales, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, at the royalty rates set forth in the table below:


Worldwide Annual Net Sales	Incremental Royalty Rates
Portion up to but not including $[**]		[**	]%

Portion equal to or greater than $[] up to but not including $[]		[**	]%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Licensed Products containing Licensed Compounds that are first identified by screening a GSK compound library at any time during the Research Term (provided that the Parties have mutually agreed to conduct such screening), the foregoing royalty rates shall be reduced to [**] percent ([**]%) of the otherwise applicable royalty rates.

6.8.2 Royalty Term and Adjustments.

(a) GSK’s royalty obligations to EPIZYME under this Section 6.8 shall commence on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis on the date of First Commercial Sale by GSK, its Affiliates or Sublicensees to an unaffiliated Third Party of the relevant Licensed Product in the relevant country and shall expire on a country-by-country basis and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis upon the later of the following (the “Royalty Term” for each Licensed Product), as applicable:

6.8.3 Royalty Reduction for Comparable Third Party Product Competition. If, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product, country-by-country and Calendar Quarter-by-Calendar Quarter basis, Comparable Third Party Product Competition is present with respect to such Licensed Product in such country during such Calendar Quarter, then the royalties payable

- 38 -

with respect to Net Sales of such Licensed Product pursuant to Sections 6.8.1 and 6.8.2 in such country during such Calendar Quarter shall be reduced to [**] percent ([**]%) of the royalties otherwise payable pursuant to Sections 6.8.1 and 6.8.2.

6.10 Reports; Sales Milestones; Royalty Payments.

6.10.1 Until the expiration of all applicable Royalty Terms and sales milestone obligations under this Article 6, each Party agrees to make written reports to the other Party within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter covering sales of Licensed Products or Royalty-Bearing EPIZYME Products, as applicable, on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis in the Territory by such Party, its Affiliates and Sublicensees during such Calendar Quarter. The information contained in each report under this Section 6.10 shall be considered Confidential Information of the Party providing the report.

6.10.2 Each such written report shall provide Net Sales by country by Licensed Product or Royalty-Bearing EPIZYME Product, as applicable, for the period in question, adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Sections 6.8.2, 6.8.3, 6.8.4 and 6.9.2 and a calculation of royalties due. In addition to the foregoing, each such written report provided by GSK to EPIZYME shall contain a calculation of sales milestones due, if any.

6.10.3 Concurrent with the delivery of each such report, the Party delivering such report shall make the royalty payment due the other Party under Article 6 for the Calendar Quarter covered by such report. In the case of transfers or sales of any Licensed Product or Royalty-Bearing EPIZYME Product, as applicable, between the royalty-paying Party and an Affiliate or Sublicensee of such Party, a royalty shall be payable only with respect to the sale of such Licensed Product or Royalty-Bearing EPIZYME Product to an independent Third Party that is not an Affiliate or Sublicensee of the seller.

6.11 Methods of Payments. All payments due from one Party (the “Payor”) to the other Party (the “Payee”) under this Agreement shall be paid in Dollars by wire transfer to a bank in the United States designated in writing by the Payee.

- 40 -

6.12 Accounting.

6.12.1 Payor agrees to keep, and to require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, full, clear and accurate records for a minimum period of [**] years after the relevant payment is owed pursuant to this Agreement, setting forth the sales and other disposition of Licensed Products and Royalty-Bearing EPIZYME Products sold or otherwise disposed of in sufficient detail to enable royalties and compensation payable to the Payee hereunder to be determined.

6.12.2 Payor further agrees, upon not less than [**] days prior written notice, to permit, and to require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to permit, the books and records relating to such Licensed Product or Royalty-Bearing EPIZYME Product to be examined by an independent accounting firm selected by Payee and reasonably acceptable to Payor for the purpose of verifying reports provided by Payor under this Article 6. Such audit shall not be performed more frequently than [**] in any twelve (12)-month period, and shall be conducted under appropriate confidentiality provisions, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy and completeness of all financial, accounting and numerical information and calculations provided under this Agreement. The independent accounting firm shall have the right to make copies of relevant portions of Payor’s books and records; provided however that any such copies shall be the Confidential Information of Payor, shall be protected by appropriate confidentiality obligations and shall not be shared with Payee or any other Person. The sole deliverable to the Payee shall be a copy of the accounting firm’s final report, which also shall be provided to the Payor at the same time.

6.12.3 Such examination is to be made at the expense of Payee, except if the results of the audit reveal an underpayment of royalties or sales milestone payments under this Agreement of [**] percent ([**]%) or more in any Calendar Year, in which case reasonable audit fees for such examination shall be paid by Payor.

6.12.4 With respect to Net Sales invoiced in Dollars, the Net Sales and the amounts due hereunder will be expressed in Dollars. With respect to Net Sales invoiced in a currency other than Dollars, the Net Sales and amounts due hereunder will be reported in Dollars, calculated using the standard methodologies employed by Payor for consolidation purposes. As of the Effective Date, the method utilized by GSK’s group reporting system uses spot exchange rates sourced from Reuters/Bloomberg.

6.13 Taxes.

6.13.1 EPIZYME warrants that, as of the Effective Date, EPIZYME is resident for tax purposes in the United States and that EPIZYME is entitled to relief from United Kingdom income tax under the terms of the double tax agreement between the United Kingdom and the United States (the “US/UK Treaty”). EPIZYME shall notify GSK immediately in writing in the event that EPIZYME ceases to be entitled to such relief. GSK shall pay royalty income and any other payments under this Agreement to EPIZYME by deducting tax at the applicable rate specified in the US/UK Treaty; provided however that, GSK acknowledges and agrees that as of the Effective Date such applicable tax rate under the US/UK Treaty is zero percent (0%); provided further that, this rate may increase if the US/UK Treaty is amended. EPIZYME agrees to indemnify and hold harmless GSK against any loss, damage, expense or liability arising in any way from a breach of the above warranties or any future claim by a UK

- 41 -

tax authority or other similar body in the United Kingdom alleging that GSK was not entitled to deduct withholding tax on such payments at source at the rate specified in the US/UK Treaty. Subject to the foregoing, any tax paid or required to be withheld by GSK for the benefit of EPIZYME on account of any royalties or other payments payable to EPIZYME under this Agreement shall be deducted from the amount of royalties or other payments otherwise due and remitted to the proper taxing authority on behalf of EPIZYME. GSK shall secure and send to EPIZYME proof of any such taxes withheld and paid by GSK for the benefit of EPIZYME, and shall, at EPIZYME’s request, provide reasonable assistance to EPIZYME in recovering such taxes or in claiming exemption from such deductions or withholdings under any applicable double taxation treaty or similar agreement. If GSK assigns its rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.4 and as a result of such assignment a greater amount of tax is required to be withheld from the payments to EPIZYME under this Agreement than would have been withheld in the absence of such assignment, then the assignee shall be obligated to pay EPIZYME such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that EPIZYME receives the same net amount after such increased withholding as it would have received in the absence of such assignment.

6.13.2 In the event royalties or any other payments are owed from EPIZYME to GSK on which United States withholding tax is required and a reduced rate of withholding is available under the US/UK Treaty, GSK shall provide EPIZYME with a signed and completed U.S. Form W-8BEN, “Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding,” to secure the reduced rate of withholding specified in the US/UK Treaty. GSK agrees to indemnify and hold harmless EPIZYME against any loss, damage, expense or liability arising in any way from any future claim by a US tax authority or other similar body in the United States alleging that EPIZYME was not entitled to deduct withholding tax on such payments at source at the rate specified in the US/UK Treaty. Subject to the foregoing, any tax paid or required to be withheld by EPIZYME for the benefit of GSK on account of any royalties or other payments payable to GSK under this Agreement shall be deducted from the amount of royalties or other payments otherwise due and remitted to the relevant taxing authority on behalf of GSK. EPIZYME shall secure and send to GSK proof of any such taxes withheld and paid by EPIZYME for the benefit of GSK, and shall, at GSK’s request, provide reasonable assistance to GSK in recovering such taxes or in claiming exemption from such deductions or withholdings under any applicable double taxation treaty or similar agreement.

6.14 Late Payments. Any undisputed amount owed by Payor to Payee under this Agreement that is not paid on or before the date such payment is due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the prime or equivalent rate per annum quoted by The Wall Street Journal on the first Business Day after such payment is due, plus [**] percent ([**]%), or the highest rate permitted by applicable Law, calculated on the number of days such payments are paid after such payments are due and compounded monthly. Interest shall not accrue on undisputed amounts that were paid after the due date as a result of mistaken Payee actions (e.g., if a payment is late as a result of Payee providing an incorrect account for receipt of payment). In addition, the Payor shall reimburse the Payee for all costs, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred in the collection of late payments; provided however that the foregoing shall not apply to payments disputed in good faith by the Payor unless the Payee is successful in such dispute or the Payor ceases to dispute such payments.

- 57 -

that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third-Party claim as provided in this Section 11.3 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 damaged as a result of such failure to give notice).

11.3.2 Assumption of Defense; Participation. Within [**] days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.

11.3.3 Settlements. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of 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 agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or that acknowledges fault by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

12.3 Termination for Cause.

12.3.1 Termination for Material Breach.

(a) Either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to it under applicable Law or in equity, terminate this Agreement on a Selected Target-by-Selected Target basis if the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) shall have materially breached or defaulted in the performance of its obligations hereunder with respect to such Selected Target (or Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products directed to such Selected Target, or any related Diagnostic Product), and such default shall have continued for [**] days (or, in the case of a payment breach, [**] Business Days) after written notice thereof was provided to the Breaching Party by the Non-Breaching Party, such notice describing the alleged breach. Subject to Section 12.3.2, any such termination of this Agreement under this Section 12.3.1 shall become effective at the end of such [**] day (or [**] Business Day, as applicable) cure period, unless:

(i) the Breaching Party has cured such breach or default prior to the expiration of such cure period; or

- 60 -

(ii) such breach is not susceptible to cure within such cure period even with the use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts, in which event the Non-Breaching Party’s right to termination shall be suspended only if and for so long as (A) the Breaching Party has provided to the Non-Breaching Party a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure, (B) such plan is reasonably acceptable to the Non-Breaching Party, and (C) the Breaching Party commits to and does carry out such plan; provided however that, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in such plan, in no event shall such suspension of the Non-Breaching Party’s right to terminate extend beyond [**] days after the original cure period.

(b) The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement, or a portion of this Agreement, as provided in this Section 12.3.1 shall not be affected in any way by such Party’s waiver or failure to take action with respect to any previous default.

12.3.2 Disagreement. If the Parties reasonably and in good faith disagree as to whether there has been a material breach, the Party that seeks to dispute that there has been a material breach may contest the allegation in accordance with Section 13.1. The cure period for any allegation made in good faith as to a material breach under this Agreement will, subject to Sections 12.3.1 and 13.2, run from the date that written notice was first received by the Breaching Party from the Non-Breaching Party.

12.4 Termination for Patent Challenges.

12.4.1 If GSK or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees:

(a) commences or otherwise voluntarily determines to participate in (other than as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a cross-claim or a counter-claim or to respond to a court request or order or administrative law request or order) any action or proceeding (including any patent opposition or re-examination proceeding), challenging or denying the validity of any EPIZYME Patent, EPIZYME Diagnostic Patent, Collaboration Patent Controlled by EPIZYME, or Joint Patent, in each case that is exclusively licensed to GSK hereunder, or any claim of any of the foregoing; or

(b) actively assists any other Person (other than as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a cross-claim or a counter-claim or to respond to a court request or order or administrative law request or order) in bringing or prosecuting any action or proceeding (including any patent opposition or re-examination proceeding) challenging or denying the validity of any of such Patents, in each case that are licensed exclusively to GSK hereunder, or any claim thereof (each activity under the foregoing clause (a) or (b), a “GSK Patent Challenge”);

then EPIZYME shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Selected Target(s) to which the GSK Patent Challenge relates (and all Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products directed to such Selected Target(s), and all related Diagnostic Products), upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to GSK; provided however that, EPIZYME’s right to terminate this

- 61 -

Agreement under this Section 12.4 shall not apply to any Affiliate of GSK that first becomes an Affiliate of GSK after the Effective Date of this Agreement in connection with a merger or acquisition event, where such Affiliate of GSK was undertaking activities in connection with a GSK Patent Challenge prior to such merger or acquisition event; provided however that GSK causes such GSK Patent Challenge to terminate within [**] days after such merger or acquisition event. For the avoidance of doubt, an action by GSK in accordance with Article 8 to amend claims within a pending patent application of EPIZYME during the course of GSK’s Prosecution of such pending patent application or in defense of a Third Party opposition shall not constitute a challenge under this Section 12.4.

12.4.2 If EPIZYME or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees:

(a) commences or otherwise voluntarily determines to participate in (other than as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a cross-claim or a counter-claim or to respond to a court request or order or administrative law request or order) any action or proceeding (including any patent opposition or re-examination proceeding), challenging or denying the validity of any GSK Patent, Collaboration Patent Controlled by GSK, or Joint Patent, in each case that is exclusively licensed to EPIZYME hereunder, or any claim of any of the foregoing; or

(b) actively assists any other Person (other than as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a cross-claim or a counter-claim or to respond to a court request or order or administrative law request or order) in bringing or prosecuting any action or proceeding (including any patent opposition or re-examination proceeding) challenging or denying the validity of any of such Patents, in each case that are licensed exclusively to EPIZYME hereunder, or any claim thereof (each activity under the foregoing clause (a) or (b), an “EPIZYME Patent Challenge”);

then GSK shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Dropped Target(s) to which the EPIZYME Patent Challenge relates (and all EPIZYME Compounds and EPIZYME Products directed to such Dropped Target(s), and all related EPIZYME Diagnostic Products), upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to EPIZYME; provided however that, GSK’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.4 shall not apply to any Affiliate of EPIZYME that first becomes an Affiliate of EPIZYME after the Effective Date of this Agreement in connection with a merger or acquisition event, where such Affiliate of EPIZYME was undertaking activities in connection with an EPIZYME Patent Challenge prior to such merger or acquisition event; provided however that EPIZYME causes such EPIZYME Patent Challenge to terminate within [**] days after such merger or acquisition event. For the avoidance of doubt, an action by EPIZYME in defense of a Third Party opposition shall not constitute a challenge under this Section 12.4.

12.5 Effects of Termination.

12.5.1 Termination by GSK for Convenience; Termination by EPIZYME for Cause or for Patent Challenge. If (x) this Agreement is terminated by EPIZYME in its entirety or with respect to one or more Selected Targets as a result of GSK’s uncured material breach

13.2 Arbitration Request. If a Party intends to begin an arbitration to resolve a dispute arising under this Agreement, such Party shall provide written notice (the “Arbitration Request”) to the other Party of such intention and a statement of the issues for resolution.

Protected Medical Information (PMI) is PII that describes clinical and medical conditions, genetic status, treatment of conditions, health status, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, etc and includes both encoded clinical trial data and overtly identifiable data.

Standards for Collecting, Obtaining and Using Human Biological Samples in Research

The Parties respect the interest of donors of human biological samples used in research and require that certain standards should apply to the collection, obtaining and use of such human biological samples, as set forth below.

•

Ensure that samples are collected with informed consent and ethics committee/ Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval in accordance with the applicable research requirements of Good Clinical Practice (International Conference on Harmonization). Additionally, through informed consent, donors must be made aware that the research is being undertaken by a commercial entity and that, where applicable, the research involves the analysis of DNA and /or medical information.

•

When obtaining samples from another entity that collected the samples for reasons unrelated to the Parties, confirmation that the entity complied with relevant requirements for informed consent, ethics committee/IRB approval and data privacy is required

•

Human biological samples must be used only for purposes that are consistent with the consent obtained and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations

•

Additional individual donor consent and ethics committee/IRB approval should be obtained when the research use intended is inconsistent with /beyond the scope of the original consent. Additional consent should also be obtained if the original consent did not include analysis of DNA (if relevant to the research proposal) or use of any associated medical information (if relevant to the research proposal).

•

In general, cell lines (e.g. HeLa), derivatives (e.g. isolated proteins) and preparations of human biological materials (e.g. sub-cellular fractions) that are well established and made available for research use, do not require re- consent and/or ethics committee/IRB approval for the intended research use

•

Proposals to collect, obtain, or use human embryonic or foetal samples for research should be carefully reviewed and such research must have the potential to benefit patients

Conduct and Public Disclosure of Human Subject Research

The Parties carry out human subject research in accordance with the ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Such research conforms to high ethical, medical and scientific standards. Specific principles for different types of human subject research are set forth below.

All Human Subject Research

All human subject research must be conducted in accordance with the following principles:

•

Human subject research is conducted in accordance with the ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence and justice

•

Human subject research always has a legitimate scientific purpose and is not designed with the objective of rewarding healthcare professionals for using, purchasing, recommending, or prescribing the Parties’ products

•

Sales/marketing/commercial staff generally does not participate in the initiation or conduct of human subject research

•

Placebo controlled studies are conducted only when there are scientifically sound methodological reasons, where the risks are minimized and reasonable in relation to the knowledge gained, and when patients who receive placebo will not be subject to any additional risk of harm

•

The standard of care required by the study design is, as a minimum, consistent with local standards of care

•

Human subject research should be publicly disclosed and ideally published in the searchable, peer reviewed, scientific literature

In most circumstances, summary protocols and summary results of clinical studies are posted on publicly available registers and/or in the scientific literature within appropriate timelines.

•

External proposals for additional analyses of human subject research studies are assessed for scientific merit and undertaken as collaborations between in-house scientists and the proposer.

•

Clinical studies are never terminated for solely financial reasons.

Interventional Human Subject Research

In addition to the foregoing general principles applicable to all human subject research, the following principles apply to the conduct of Interventional Human Subject Research:

•

Interventional human subject research is conducted in accordance with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, the principles of ICH GCP E6, ICH E11 (pediatrics)

C-6

•

Interventional studies of medicinal and other products are conducted in countries where the products are expected to be sold in and suitable for the wider community of the country

•

All interventional human subject research is conducted only with the approval of Institutional Review Boards or Independent Ethics Committees

•

When interventional human subject research is conducted in developing countries, the Parties seek agreement with key interested external parties in the country on the conduct of the research, including the standard of care provided during the study, the scientific rationale for interventions, including placebo, the provision of healthcare for subjects after the study, and the fate of any capacity built for the conduct of the study

•

All interventional human subject research requires the informed consent of subjects (or their legal representative) who participate in the research

•

When nationally licensed medicinal products that are not the subject of the research study are required for the routine care of a patient during the conduct of the study, the Parties only fund these when they are not funded by the normal healthcare infrastructure and there is assurance that they or suitable alternatives will be available and funded after the study while the medical need exists

•

For diseases/conditions that continue beyond the end of an interventional study, the Parties must be assured the healthcare system is able to provide, and will take responsibility for, the continued care of study subjects

•

When there is a compelling medical rationale for patients who have derived measurable medical benefit from an investigational medicinal product during an interventional study to continue to receive that product after the study, the Parties endeavor to provide that treatment either through additional clinical studies or through expanded access programs

•

The Parties provide investigators with the summary results of interventional studies in which they participate, and encourages investigators to inform their subjects of the results

Meta-analyses and Pooled Analyses

The following principles apply to research that uses data from more than one previously conducted clinical study (Meta-analyses and Pooled Analyses):

•

Research utilizing data from the Parties’ previous clinical studies in a manner inconsistent with, or beyond the scope of, the original informed consent requires re-consent of the subjects, or if this is not practical, IRB/IEC approval. If this is not practical, the data are anonymized

•

The Parties review, before submission for publication, any proposed manuscripts, presentations or abstracts prepared by research collaborators which originate from the Parties human subject research studies (including the Parties supported studies)

C-7

Non-Interventional (observational) Human Subject Research

The following principles apply to Non-interventional (observational) human subject research:

•

For observational studies where clinical data are collected by or on behalf of the Parties specifically for the purpose of the research, the Parties abide by the local legal requirements and regulations for informed consent for the use of these data and IRB/IECs approval is obtained

•

For observational studies using healthcare databases, the Parties are assured that there is compliance with relevant legal requirements for data privacy and that patients have provided informed consent for the use of their data in research, or IRB/IEC approval has been obtained for that use; or other measures to protect privacy are in place (e.g. the data are anonymized)
