(a) by Magenta for any reason upon [***] written notice to Bachem;

(b) by either Party if the other Party materially breaches a provision of this Agreement or a Project Plan, and fails to cure such breach within [***] following receipt of written notification of such breach from the non-breaching Party;

(c) by either Party, immediately, if the other Party becomes insolvent, is dissolved or liquidated, makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or files or has filed against it, a petition in bankruptcy that is not dismissed within sixty days after filing, or has a receiver appointed for a substantial part of its assets; and

(d) by a Party or the Parties pursuant to Section 13.

In the event of termination pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or a termination by Bachem pursuant to Section 7.2(b), Bachem shall be compensated for Services rendered up to the date of termination. In the event of any other termination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the appropriate amount to be paid by Magenta to Bachem (or refunded to Magenta by Bachem, as the case may be), in light of the circumstances of such termination, in compensation for all Services rendered in accordance with this Agreement. In the event of Bachem’s inability to supply the Product or a material breach by Bachem pursuant to Section 7.2(b), Bachem shall provide, without additional charge to Magenta, sufficient information and technology pertaining to its Services to Magenta and/or its technically competent designee, such that Magenta and/or its technically competent designee are enabled to continue Development Work and manufacture of the Product. The termination of any Project Plan may be independent of the termination of this Agreement.

7.3 Regulatory information and Compounds. On or before the effective date of any termination or expiration of this Agreement or upon the written request of Magenta, Bachem shall promptly transfer to Magenta all compounds and other materials and supplies provided to Bachem by or on behalf of Magenta in connection with this Agreement, as well as all works-in-process and raw materials purchased under a Project Plan. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or upon the written request of Magenta, Bachem will also compile CMC documentation as provided for in the applicable Project Plan, which will contain all information necessary for Magenta for regulatory and manufacturing purposes related to the Product. The CMC documentation would also contain the information required for any competent Third Party manufacturing to assume manufacturing of the Product independently, if Magenta desires to transfer the process. Upon the request of and at the expense of Magenta, after termination of this Agreement, Bachem agrees to reasonably assist Magenta in identifying Third-Party manufacturers of the Product. If such termination is due to Bachem’s inability to make the Product, or a material breach by Bachem pursuant to Section 7.2(b), Bachem will provide such assistance without charge.

7.4 Project Plans in Progress. In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Bachem shall, upon the request of Magenta and notwithstanding the effective date of any termination or expiration, complete any Project Plans involving the manufacture of Product that were accepted by Bachem prior to such date, and Magenta shall pay Bachem for any Product produced or services completed, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Project Plans and this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated by Magenta pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or by Bachem pursuant to Section 7.2(b) or (c), Magenta shall also pay to Bachem amounts for any services that cannot be reasonably stopped at the time of termination; provided, that, Bachem will take all reasonable steps necessary to wind down such work as promptly as practicable.

7.5 Survival. The rights and obligations of each Party which by their nature survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, including Sections 4.2, 5, 6.3-6.6, 7.2-7.5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15.1, 15.4-15.8, 15.10, 15.11 and 15.12. In addition, Bachem hereby acknowledges that neither expiration nor termination of this Agreement shall affect in any manner Magenta’s right to manufacture and sell, or have manufactured and sold, the Product.

Section 8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

8.1 Magenta Pre-Existing Intellectual Property. All intellectual property (including trademarks), including all data, information, know-how, reports and any and all related documentation, which are developed, generated or derived, directly or indirectly by or on behalf of Magenta prior to the Effective Date (“Magenta Pre-Existing Intellectual Property”) shall remain the sole property of Magenta.

8.2 Bachem Intellectual Property. All intellectual property (including trademarks), including all data, information, reports, manufacturing know-how and any and all related documentation, which are (a) developed, generated or derived, directly or indirectly by or on behalf of Bachem prior to the Effective Date or (b) any manufacturing know-how developed or generated by Bachem that is generally applicable to the field of peptide manufacturing and not specific to the Product or Magenta’s Confidential Information (such items under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), collectively, “Bachem Intellectual Property”), shall remain the sole property of Bachem. In the event that any Bachem Intellectual Property is incorporated into any

deliverable (including Magenta Developed Intellectual Property (including Product)) or is otherwise necessary to fully exploit such deliverable, Bachem hereby grants to Magenta a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide, paid up, royalty-free license under such Bachem Intellectual Property (with the full right to sublicense directly or indirectly through multiple tiers) to (i) copy, distribute, display, perform and create derivative works of the Bachem Intellectual Property, in whole or in part; and (ii) to use Bachem Intellectual Property and/or practice the subject matter thereof, in each case solely in connection with manufacturing, marketing, promoting, using, selling, offering for sale, importing or distributing such deliverable (e.g., Product). Without limiting the foregoing, Magenta may use and disclose Bachem Intellectual Property to the extent necessary in connection with the prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of Magenta Developed Intellectual Property.

8.3 Magenta Data. All data, images, information, documents, records in whatever form obtained, developed, recorded or compiled (i) in connection with this Agreement or any Project Plan that relates to the Development Work or the Product, including, but not limited to, its development, manufacture or use, expressly excluding any Bachem Intellectual Property, or (ii) based upon or utilizing Magenta Confidential Information (collectively, “Magenta Data”) are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Magenta, and will be gathered, stored, secured, managed and maintained by Bachem in accordance with Applicable Laws. Bachem agrees to take such further acts as may be requested by Magenta in order to evidence the foregoing. Promptly upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Project Plan, and otherwise upon Magenta’s request, Bachem will promptly provide originals or a copy (as applicable) of all Magenta Data to Magenta in a form acceptable to Magenta, and, to the extent that Magenta so requests. Availability of batch records shall be provided as set forth in Section 5.11. At Magenta’s request, Bachem will destroy all remaining Magenta Data in Bachem’s possession or under Bachem’s control, so long as not in contravention of Applicable Laws. Bachem will not utilize Magenta Data for any purpose other than the performance of Services, and will cease use of any Magenta Data after expiration or termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Bachem may retain any Magenta Data in electronically stored archives that cannot be deleted, subject to Bachem’s document retention policies and to the terms of confidentiality and non-use set forth in this Agreement.

8.4 Magenta’s Developed Intellectual Property. Any invention (whether patentable or not), discoveries, improvements, works-of-authorship or other intellectual property made, conceived or reduced to practice by Bachem in connection with its performance under this Agreement or any Project Plan, which expressly excludes Bachem Intellectual Property (“Magenta Developed Intellectual Property”), shall be exclusively owned by Magenta. For the avoidance of doubt, Magenta Developed Intellectual Property includes Magenta Data. Bachem hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, to Magenta all of its right, title and interest to and in any Magenta Developed Intellectual Property, including all related intellectual property rights. Magenta grants to Bachem a limited, non-exclusive license to use any Magenta Developed Intellectual Property to manufacture and release the Product for Magenta in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Project Plan.

8.5 Disclosure and Assignment.

For that purpose, Bachem shall, and shall cause its employees and agents to, execute all papers necessary therefor, including assignments to Magenta or its nominee, without consideration, and also agrees without further consideration, but at Magenta’s expense, to provide such information as may be required by Magenta and to assist Magenta, or its agents or designees, in the preparation and prosecution of any such patent application, the enforcement of any such resulting patent and the intellectual property protection of any such invention or discovery.

9.4 Return of Confidential Information. Upon request by the Disclosing Party, Recipient shall promptly return to the Disclosing Party the originals and all copies of any Confidential Information then in the Recipient’s possession or under the Recipient’s control.

Neither Magenta nor Bachem shall make any news release or other public statement, whether to the press or otherwise, disclosing the existence of this Agreement, the terms thereof or of any amendment thereto, or any Project Plan without the prior written approval of the other Party, except as required by Applicable Laws. To the extent, if any, that a Party concludes in good faith that it is required by Applicable Laws or regulations to file or register this Agreement or a notification thereof with any Governmental Authority, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such Party may do so, and the other Party shall cooperate in such filing or notification and shall execute all documents reasonably required in connection therewith.

Once the executive of either party determines that additional meetings are not likely to resolve the dispute, each of the parties shall be entitled to terminate such meetings and the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration. The binding arbitration shall be in accordance with the rules and procedures for commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. Unless the parties to such dispute agree otherwise in writing, any such arbitration shall be conducted in New York pursuant to New York law, without any consideration of conflict of law issues, and the results of such arbitration shall be final and binding on the parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that each of them shall have the right to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief through the courts in the event of any material breach by the other party of any provision of this Agreement that would cause the non-breaching party irreparable injury for which there would be no adequate remedy at law. Any such legal proceeding will be brought in the applicable state or federal court of the State of New York, and the parties hereby consent to this exclusive jurisdiction for this purpose.
