EPI Health shall be liable for the failure of its Sublicensees to comply with the relevant obligations under this Agreement and shall, at its own cost, enforce compliance by Sublicensees with the terms of the sublicense agreement.

2.5Non-Compete.

(a)During the Term of this Agreement, neither EPI Health nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, market, detail, offer for sale, sell, have sold, promote or otherwise Commercialize any product that is approved as a drug for the same indication as a Product and directly competitive with such Product (“Competing Product”) in the Territory; provided that, EPI Health shall have the right to continue to market, detail, offer for sale, sell, have sold, promote or otherwise Commercialize any product that it owns and Controls as of the Effective Date that would otherwise constitute a Competing Product.

2.6MC2 Pipeline Product. From time to time during the Term, but at least on an annual basis, MC2 shall present to EPI Health a summary of the material characteristics of any MC2 Pipeline Product(s) that MC2 intends to Promote and Commercialize in the Territory during the three year period following each such presentation; provided that, MC2 shall be required to disclose such information to EPI Health solely to the extent that MC2 has not notified EPI Health that EPI Health is then in breach of any material term of this Agreement.

2.7No Implied Rights. Except for the limited rights expressly granted under Section 2.1 and the license to Licensed Marks granted under Section 2.3, no right, title or interest with respect to the Products or any Licensed Technology or other intellectual property right of MC2 or its Affiliates is granted by MC2 to EPI Health hereunder and MC2 retains all rights and interests other than expressly granted under this Agreement.

3.1Joint Steering Committee.

(a)Purpose; Formation. The Parties hereby establish a Joint Steering Committee (the “Joint Steering Committee” or “JSC”) that will monitor and oversee the Development of the Product, the Promotion of the Product, the conduct of EPI Commercialization Activities, the conduct of the MC2 Commercialization Activities, the Manufacture of the Product and any collaborative activities of the Parties under this Agreement and that will facilitate communications between the Parties with respect to such activities and will otherwise have the responsibilities set forth in Section 3.1(c) below. EPI Health agrees that MC2 shall not be required to disclose to the JSC any CMC information regarding the Manufacture of the Product that is Confidential Information of MC2.

(b)Composition. Each Party shall initially appoint three (3) representatives to the JSC, each of whom shall have sufficient seniority within the applicable Party to make decisions arising within the scope of the JSC’s responsibilities and one (1) of which shall be the Party’s Alliance Manager. Each Party shall designate their initial representatives to the JSC within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date. The JSC may change its size from time to time by mutual consent of its members; provided, however, that the JSC shall at all times consist of an equal number of representatives of each of MC2 and EPI Health. Each Party may replace its JSC representatives at any time upon written notice to the other Party. The JSC may invite non-members (including consultants and advisors of a Party who are under an obligation of confidentiality consistent with this Agreement) to

participate in the discussions and meetings of the JSC, provided that such participants shall have no voting authority at the JSC. The JSC shall have two (2) chairpersons, one from each of MC2 and EPI Health. The role of the chairpersons shall be to convene and preside at meetings of the JSC.

(c)Specific Responsibilities. In addition to its overall responsibility for monitoring and providing a forum to discuss and coordinate the Parties’ activities and responsibilities under this Agreement, the JSC shall in particular:

(d)Meetings. The Parties shall endeavor to have their first meeting of the JSC within [***]. The JSC shall meet at least [***] per Calendar Quarter during the Term spaced at regular intervals unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to a different frequency for such meetings. Either Party may also call a special meeting of the JSC (by videoconference or teleconference) by providing at least [***] prior written notice to the other Party in the event such Party reasonably believes that a significant matter must be

addressed prior to the next scheduled meeting, and such Party shall provide the JSC no later than [***] prior to the special meeting with materials reasonably adequate to enable an informed decision. No later than [***] prior to any regularly scheduled meeting of the JSC, the chairpersons of the JSC shall prepare and circulate an agenda for such meeting; provided, however, that either Party may propose additional topics to be included on such agenda, either prior to or in the course of such meeting. The JSC may meet in person, by videoconference or by teleconference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at least [***] meetings per Calendar Year shall be in person. In-person JSC meetings will be held at locations in the U.S. alternately selected by MC2 and by EPI Health. Each Party will bear the expense of its respective JSC members’ participation in JSC meetings. Meetings of the JSC shall be effective only if at least one (1) JSC representative of each Party is present or participating in such meeting. Alliance Managers will be responsible for preparing reasonably detailed written minutes of all JSC meetings that reflect, without limitation, decisions made at such meetings. The Alliance Managers shall send draft meeting minutes, including a description of all discussions and decisions, to each member of the JSC for review and approval within [***] after each JSC meeting. Such minutes will be deemed approved unless one (1) or more members of the JSC object to the accuracy of such minutes within [***] of receipt.

(e)Decision-Making. In addition to resolving issues specifically delegated to it, the JSC shall have the authority to resolve any disputes not resolved by any Subcommittee or as designated in this Agreement. The representatives from each Party will have, collectively, one (1) vote on behalf of that Party on the JSC, and all decision-making shall be by consensus. If the JSC is unable to reach consensus on any issue for which it is responsible within [***] after good faith attempts to resolve the issue have failed, the JSC shall refer such dispute to the Alliance Managers of the Parties. If the Alliance Managers cannot resolve the dispute within [***] from the initiation of discussions, the dispute shall be referred to the Parties’ Executive Officers. If the Executive Officers cannot resolve the dispute within [***] from the initiation of discussions, then, subject to Section 3.2, the decision of MC2’s Executive Officer shall be final and binding on the Parties; provided that, any dispute regarding an issue that expressly requires the approval of both Parties shall be resolved by the Parties as set forth in Article 15 (Dispute Resolution).

3.2JSC Authority. The JSC shall have solely the powers expressly assigned to it in Section 3.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement, and shall not have any power to amend, modify, or waive compliance with this Agreement or to bind either Party to incur additional liability or expense not expressly provided for in this Agreement without such Party’s consent. It is expressly understood and agreed that the control of decision-making authority by MC2, pursuant to Section 3.1(e), will not authorize MC2 to unilaterally modify or amend, or waive its own compliance with, the terms of this Agreement.

3.3Alliance Managers. Within [***], each Party will appoint (and notify the other Party of the identity of) a representative of such Party having a general understanding in matters related to pharmaceutical development, commercialization, and promotion, to act as its alliance manager under this Agreement (each an “Alliance Manager”). Each Party may replace its Alliance Manager at any time by written notice to the other Party. The Alliance Managers will serve as the primary contact point between the Parties for the

purpose of facilitating the flow of Information and otherwise promoting communication, coordination and collaboration between the Parties.

3.4Subcommittees. From time to time, the JSC may establish joint subcommittees to oversee particular projects or activities (such as Licensed Product Development and Commercialization), as it deems necessary or advisable (each, a “Subcommittee”).

4.1Regulatory Approval for the Products. MC2 shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain approval from FDA of the Product NDA as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. Thereafter, MC2 shall be responsible for maintaining the Product NDA in full force and effect during the Term.

4.2Post-Approval Development. Subject to Section 4.1, MC2 shall have the sole right to conduct Development of the Products, and may do so for any indication, and for purposes of Commercialization within or outside of the Territory, at its discretion and at its own cost. For clarity, MC2 shall be solely responsible for and shall bear all costs of conducting, any post-Regulatory Approval studies of the Product required by the FDA in the Field in the Territory. EPI Health shall not conduct any Development of the Products without MC2’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in MC2’s sole discretion).

(a)Except for the regulatory filings and responsibilities identified as being EPI Health’s responsibility on Exhibit 5.1, MC2 shall be responsible for, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prepare and file, all Regulatory Materials required by the FDA or other federal Regulatory Authority with respect to Product and shall be responsible for all regulatory and registration activities for the Product in the Territory at MC2’s cost and expense, including, but not limited to being solely responsible for interacting with FDA and maintaining the Regulatory Approval for the Product. Subject to subsection 5.1(b) below, MC2 or its Affiliates shall be the holder of the Regulatory Approvals and the NDC code for the Product.

(c)Under the oversight of the JSC, EPI Health shall be responsible for, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prepare and file, the Regulatory Materials that are indicated on Exhibit 5.1 as being EPI Health’s responsibility. EPI Health shall be responsible for preparing and filing Regulatory Materials associated with Promotional Materials, including all filings and interactions with the OPDP, and EPI Health shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to do so. EPI Health shall provide the JSC with a copy of each such filing before submission thereof to allow the JSC reasonable time to review and approve such filing, which the Parties will cause the JSC to review and respond within [***] of submission. EPI Health shall promptly, but in any case, within [***] of receipt, provide the JSC with complete copies of all correspondence relating to Promotional Materials with Regulatory Authorities, including OPDP. EPI Health shall not be permitted to use any such Promotional Materials in connection with its Promotion or Commercialization of the Product in the Territory until EPI Health has filed all required Regulatory Materials with the appropriate Regulatory Authorities. Subject to MC2’s approval authority hereunder and subject to MC2’s obligation to ensure that the Product Labeling complies with Applicable Laws, EPI Health shall ensure that all Promotional Materials used by or on behalf of EPI Health in connection with the Promotion or Commercialization of the Product in the Territory comply with all Applicable Laws and requirements of applicable Regulatory Authorities.

5.2Regulatory Communications. MC2 will have primary operational responsibility for interactions and communications with the FDA or other federal Regulatory Authority regarding the Product, including attending related meetings. MC2 shall notify EPI Health in advance of any meetings with or communications to the FDA or other federal Regulatory Authorities related to the Product, to the extent they may impact the Development or supply of the Product or otherwise relate to EPI Health’s rights or obligations under this Agreement. Unless prohibited by FDA, EPI Health shall be permitted to have one EPI Health representative participate in any such meetings with FDA, that is relevant to the performance of the EPI Commercialization Activities, as an observer. MC2 shall provide to EPI Health copies of such material correspondence with the FDA or any Regulatory Authority regarding the Product that is relevant to the performance of the EPI Commercialization Activities, except that MC2 may redact any CMC information with respect to the Product from such copies. MC2 shall consider in good faith any input timely provided by EPI Health regarding regulatory activities relating to the Product in the Territory and will promptly update EPI Health on the results of regulatory communications.

5.3Regulatory Cooperation. In addition to any activities for which a Party is responsible pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct the regulatory activities expressly assigned it to under Exhibit 5.1. Each Party shall reasonably assist the other Party in connection with activities for which such other Party is responsible under Exhibit 5.1. In addition, the Parties shall coordinate and discuss regulatory strategies, approaches and responses, as applicable, with respect to any areas that expressly require collaboration of the Parties pursuant to Exhibit 5.1 (e.g., Product reimbursement).

5.4Product Withdrawals and Recalls. If any Regulatory Authority (a) threatens, initiates or advises any action to remove the Product from the market in the Territory, or (b) requires or advises MC2, EPI Health or their respective Affiliates to distribute a “Dear Health Care Provider” letter or its equivalent regarding use of the Product in the Territory, then MC2 or EPI Health, as applicable, shall notify the other Party of such event as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than [***] (or sooner if required by Applicable Laws) after such Party becomes aware of the action, threat, advice or requirement (as applicable). Immediately thereafter, the JSC together with the Parties’ respective heads of Quality or other designees, will discuss and attempt to agree upon whether to recall or withdraw the Product in the Territory; provided, however, that the Parties will agree to any recall or withdrawal mandated by the applicable Regulatory Authority, and otherwise if the Parties fail to agree within an appropriate time period, MC2 shall have final decision-making authority and shall have the right to decide in its sole discretion whether to recall or withdraw the Product in the Territory. The Parties shall promptly implement any such recall, with EPI Health taking the lead role in implementing the recall. MC2 shall reimburse EPI Health for any expenses incurred by EPI Health with respect to a recall or withdrawal of the Product in the Territory, except to the extent that the recall or withdrawal is attributable to a claim or damage for which EPI Health is responsible under Article 12, in which event EPI Health shall bear such costs.

5.5Safety Reporting. The Parties’ obligations with respect to exchanging and reporting adverse events and other safety Information relating to the Product are set forth in the pharmacovigilance agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 5.5 (the “Pharmacovigilance Agreement”). The Pharmacovigilance Agreement shall require that EPI Health shall perform such pharmacovigilance activities (including the collection and reporting of quality complaints, adverse events and safety data related to the Products in the Territory to applicable Regulatory Authorities) performed by EPI Health for other products Promoted and/or Commercialized by EPI Health, in a manner that is consistent with the standards applied by EPI Health for such other products (but in any event, applying no less than industry standards for the performance of such activities for products that are similar to the Product). Each Party hereby agrees to comply with its respective obligations under such Pharmacovigilance Agreement and to cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to comply with such obligations.

5.6Standards of Conduct. Each Party shall make regulatory filings and conduct all other regulatory activities required to be performed by such Party under this Article 5 in compliance with all Applicable Laws.

6.1Promotion Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, EPI Health shall deploy its Sales Representatives and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Promote the Product in the Field in the Territory in accordance with the Commercialization Plan (including the Field Force Detailing Plan) and the terms of this Agreement, and EPI Health shall be solely responsible for the operation, reporting and management of such

Promotional activities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, EPI Health shall be responsible for the following:

6.2Field Force Detailing Plan. EPI Health shall develop and propose for JSC approval for inclusion in the Commercialization Plan a Calendar Quarterly Detailing and

targeting plan for the Product (“Field Force Detailing Plan”), together with [***]. Such plan shall include [***] (collectively, the “Minimum Detail Effort”). Such Field Force Detailing Plan must be consistent with the then-current Incremental Cost Budget.

6.3EPI Health’s Minimum Detail Efforts.

(a)The Field Force Detailing Plan shall set forth the target number of P1 Details expected to be conducted by EPI Health on a Calendar Quarter basis during the period covered by such plan (the “EPI Health Target Quarterly Details”), and EPI Health’s performance against the EPI Health Target Quarterly Details shall be measured on a Calendar Quarter basis. For the avoidance of doubt, only P1 Details shall constitute “Details” for purposes of meeting the EPI Health Target Quarterly Details. EPI Health shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the EPI Health Target Quarterly Details in each Calendar Quarter during the Term. If the Parties cannot agree on increasing the EPI Health Target Quarterly Details when approving or amending the Commercialization Plan in accordance with Section 7.2 or 7.3, as applicable, the then-current EPI Health Target Quarterly Details will continue to apply, provided, however, that the number of EPI Health Target Quarterly Details will not be more than are covered by the then-current Incremental Cost Budget. In no event will EPI Health be able to decrease the EPI Health Target Quarterly Details without MC2’s written approval, provided that the number of EPI Health Target Quarterly Details must not be more than the then-current Incremental Cost Budget.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, EPI Health’s obligations hereunder in clause 6.1(b) to position the Product as a P1 Detail [***] to meet the Target Quarterly Details for the Product as set out in clause 6.3(a) shall be excused (and MC2’s remedies under Section 6.3(b) to reduce Commercialization Fee or to terminate under Section 14.2 shall not apply) during any period of time during which: (i) the FDA approval for the Product has not been obtained or has been suspended or lapsed, (ii) there is insufficient supply of the Product to support P1 Detail positioning, or (iii) there is commercial sale of a generic equivalent product (as defined below) in the Territory by a non-Affiliated third party as evidenced by IMS data, in each case (i)-(iii) that such event is not due to a failure by EPI Health to comply with its obligations under this Agreement (each, an “Excused Interruption”). For the avoidance of doubt, a generic equivalent product is defined to be a product that must be approved by the FDA pursuant to the FDA’s ANDA process and that must carry a generic equivalency rating of “AB” to the Product. If EPI Health’s Detailing obligations hereunder are interrupted for any reason permitted under this Section 6.3(c), then those obligations shall be reinstated by EPI Health as soon as reasonably possible after such interruption.

6.4Target Incentive Compensation. Promptly after the Effective Date, EPI Health shall develop an incentive compensation package for each Sales Representative that [***], subject to MC2’s review and comment prior to implementation of the incentive plan. On at least a Calendar Quarterly basis, the Parties shall meet, through the JSC, to review the target incentive compensation and the actual incentive compensation paid out to the Sales Representatives to discuss, in good faith, any appropriate adjustments to the sales targets and goals related to the Product in the Field in the Territory.

6.5Report. EPI Health shall keep reasonably complete and accurate records of all Details of the Product in the Territory carried out by it to Promote the Product in the Territory during each Year of the Term (and indicating which of such Details constitute P1 Details). Detailing performed by EPI Health hereunder shall be tracked using EPI Health’s internal recording of such activity, which tracking shall be on substantially the same basis as EPI Health’s measurement for the EPI Health Sales Representatives detailing of its other products, consistently applied throughout the Term. EPI Health shall submit to MC2, within [***] during the Term, a report containing the number of Details performed by the EPI Health Sales Representatives for each Product Detailed by such Sales Representatives in the Territory and an accounting of the number of the EPI Health Sales Representatives that performed such Detailing of the Product. EPI Health covenants that the records of all Details of the Products in the Territory shall be reported and kept in the same manner as done by EPI Health Sales Representatives and marketing personnel for all other products marketed by EPI Health’s sales force or in a manner agreed to by MC2. The monthly report provided by EPI Health pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall include actual physician data, the number of Details made, the date or week in which made, and, if available, the location made. EPI Health shall provide the monthly reports required by this Section 6.5 by electronic means preferably compatible with MC2’s systems, or otherwise in a form as the Parties may mutually agree upon; provided that EPI Health shall not be obligated to invest in any new electronic reporting system or software.

6.6Activities of Sales Representatives.

6.7Promotional Materials; Training of Sales Representatives.

(a)Advertising and Promotional Materials.

(ii)The Parties agree that the Promotional Materials may include trademarks owned by EPI Health (collectively, “EPI Health Trademarks”) to indicate that the Product is distributed by EPI Health. EPI Health shall own all right,

title, and interest in any EPI Health Trademark. EPI Health hereby grants to MC2 during the Term a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up right and license under the EPI Health Trademarks, to use or otherwise exploit the Promotional Materials in the Territory in the exercise of MC2’s rights or performance of MC2’s obligations under this Agreement.

EPI Health shall distribute and manage the Product Samples in a manner consistent with the Commercialization Plan (including the budget therein), EPI’s internal sampling practices for products owned by EPI and Applicable Laws relating to sample accountability, including reporting responsibilities and records pertaining to theft and loss.

(c)Product Training. EPI shall be responsible, in consultation with MC2, for preparing the initial Product training programs and materials for the EPI Health Sales Representatives, and EPI Health shall conduct Product training programs for EPI Health Sales Representatives who will participate in Promoting the Product to ensure a consistent, focused promotional strategy.

(d)Compliance Training. EPI Health shall provide its EPI Health Sales Representatives with appropriate training on proper marketing and sales techniques. EPI Health shall be responsible for training its Sales Representatives on, and will instruct its Sales Representatives to comply with, all Applicable Laws.

(e)[***].

6.8MC2 Obligations. In connection with the Promotion of the Product hereunder, MC2 shall comply with all applicable Laws and not make any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, to Third Parties, concerning the Product that is inconsistent with, or contrary to, the Product Labeling. MC2 shall promptly notify EPI Health of and provide EPI Health with a copy of any correspondence or other reports with respect to the marketing or Promotion of the Product submitted to or received from any applicable Governmental Authority in the Territory. MC2 shall not use Promotional Materials for the Promotion of the Product other than those agreed upon by the Parties hereunder in the Territory.

6.9P1 Detail Positioning. At any time following the twelve month anniversary of the Execution Date, EPI Health may cease Promoting the Product as a P1 Detail by providing written notice to MC2 (the “P1 Notice”) of its intent to no longer Promote the Product as a P1 Detail (including by Promoting the Product as anything other than a P1 Detail) ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of such change (which notice may be provided prior to the expiration of such twelve-month period, but in any event shall not be effective prior to the expiration of such twelve-month period). During such ninety-day period, the Parties may engage in good faith discussions to modify the Commercialization Plan consistent with EPI Health no longer Promoting the Product as a P1 Detail. From and after the effective date of such change (and, for clarity, regardless of whether or not EPI Health provides a P1 Notice), (i) MC2 shall not be responsible for paying or reimbursing EPI Health for the Incremental Costs for the Base Sales Representatives, (ii) MC2 otherwise shall continue to fund the Incremental Costs, including for the operational positions fully dedicated to the Promotion and Commercialization of the Product and shall fund the fully loaded cost to employ any Additional Sales Representatives, as each is set forth in the Incremental Cost Budget, (iii) EPI Health shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Detail the Product but shall no longer be obligated to comply with any provisions herein that require P1 Detailing, comply with the Field Force Detailing Plan, to satisfy the Target Quarterly Details, or to pay incentive compensation to sales representatives in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof, (iv) MC2, in its sole discretion, subject to the Agreed Budget Limitations, may amend the then-current Incremental Cost Budget and approve all subsequent Incremental Cost Budgets consistent with EPI Health no longer Promoting the Product as a P1 Detail, provided that such discretion shall not give MC2 the right to direct what position the Product will be detailed in by EPI Health, (v) the rights granted to EPI Health under Section 2.1 shall automatically become non-exclusive, and (vi) MC2 may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to EPI Health, such notice to be provided no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following receipt of the P1 Notice. In addition, MC2 may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to EPI Health (a) if during the twelve month period following the Execution Date, EPI fails to Promote the Product as a P1 Detail (including by Promoting the Product as anything other than a P1 Detail), or (b) upon the occurrence of a Commercial Trigger, in each case (a) and (b), other than due to an Excused Interruption. For any period of time during the Term for which EPI Health fails to Promote the Product as a P1 Detail (including by Promoting the Product as anything other than a P1 Detail), MC2 shall not be responsible for paying or reimbursing EPI Health for the Incremental Costs for the Base Sales Representatives. For purposes of this Section 6.9, “Commercial Trigger” means, either (x) for the twelve-month period following the Execution Date (the “First Measurement Period”), (A) aggregate Net Sales of the Product in the Territory are less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), and (B) aggregate prescriptions of the Product in the Territory are less than [***] or, at the end of such First Measurement Period, the Product is not selling at a gross-to-net of [***]; or (y) for the twelve-month period following the one year anniversary of the Execution Date (the “Second Measurement Period,” and, together with the First Measurement Period, the “Measurement Periods”), (A) aggregate Net Sales of the Product in the Territory are less than Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000), and (B) aggregate prescriptions of the Product in the Territory are less than [***] or, at the end of the Second Measurement Period, the Product is not selling at a gross-to-net of [***], in each case (x) and (y), other than due to an

Excused Interruption; provided that MC2 may provide written notice of termination to EPI Health based on the occurrence of a Commercial Trigger at the end of the applicable Measurement Period and shall provide such notice no later than the earlier of one hundred twenty (120) days following MC2’s receipt of the Commercialization Report for the applicable Measurement Period to determine the gross-to-net or, if EPI Health fails to provide such Commercialization Report in the time period set forth in Section 9.4, one hundred twenty (120) days after such Commercialization Report is due pursuant to Section 9.4. Upon termination of this Agreement by MC2 pursuant to this Section 6.9 following a Commercial Trigger solely for the Second Measurement Period, EPI Health shall be entitled to receive from MC2, for the twelve month period immediately following the effective date of such termination, an aggregate payment equal to the amount of the Commercialization Fee earned by EPI Health pursuant to Section 9.1 during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the effective date of termination. Such payment shall be made in four (4) equal Calendar Quarterly installments during the duration of the twelve-month period following the effective date of the termination, each Calendar Quarterly installment to be paid within sixty (60) days after the end of each full or partial Calendar Quarter of such twelve (12) month period.

7.1Diligence. EPI Health shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform the EPI Commercialization Activities with respect to the Product in the Field in the Territory, in accordance with the Commercialization Plan. Without limiting the foregoing or being limited thereby, EPI Health shall (a) subject to MC2’s obligations under the Supply Terms, promptly take, process and fulfill all orders that are placed for the Product in the Field in the Territory, and (b) utilize its distribution infrastructure to support the Commercialization of the Products, including through the provision of inventory support, third party logistics agreements, potential payer contract support and wholesaler access, and in each case of (a) and (b), EPI Health shall perform such activities in an efficient manner consistent with the commercially reasonable practices of the pharmaceutical industry, and as required by its respective contracts with such customers. In addition, EPI Health shall make available its employees and personnel to provide necessary operational support in connection with the conduct of EPI Commercialization Activities in order to fulfill EPI’s obligations under this Agreement.

7.2Commercialization Plan. The strategy and budget for the Commercialization of, the Product in the Territory will be described in a comprehensive plan (the “Commercialization Plan”) and in a budget (the “Incremental Cost Budget”), each developed by EPI Health based on good faith assumptions regarding the then-current forecast for the Product in the Field in the Territory, in consultation with MC2, and each shall be subject to final approval by MC2, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, (i) the Incremental Cost Budget as it pertains to the EPI Health Sales Representatives must be mutually agreed by MC2 and EPI Health; (ii) neither Party shall be permitted to decrease the number of EPI Health Sales Representatives to less than [***] or increase the number of

EPI Health Sales Representatives to more than [***], and (iii) MC2 may, in its sole discretion and acting in good faith, increase the Incremental Cost Budget relative to the then-current Incremental Cost Budget by no more than ten percent (10%) or decrease the Incremental Cost Budget relative to the then-current Incremental Cost Budget by no more than fifty percent (50%) solely with respect to increases or decreases in the Incremental Costs for non-inventory and non-personnel costs, provided that MC2 may not reduce the Incremental Cost Budget for noncancellable expenses so long as EPI Health uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cancel or reduce such expenses (including in accordance with the terms of any contract therefor) as soon as practicable following a request to do so by MC2 ((i) through (iii), the “Agreed Budget Limitations”). The Commercialization Plan for Calendar Year 2022 is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.2 A, and the Incremental Cost Budget for Calendar Year 2022 (including the Incremental Costs actually incurred by EPI Health since the Amendment Effective Date until the date on which the Condition Precedent is satisfied) is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.2 B. The Commercialization Plan and Incremental Cost Budget shall be updated and may be amended during the Term in accordance with Section 7.3 and Section 9.3. The Commercialization Plan will be used as the basis for the Commercialization activities to be undertaken under this Agreement and shall specifically describe the (a) Commercialization activities for the Product in the Territory (including messaging, branding, list price and rebating strategy, pricing, advertising, education, planning, marketing, promotion, product sampling and sales force training and allocation), (b) key tactics for implementing those activities, (c) specific resource commitments required of the Parties, including number and location of EPI Sales Territories, number of EPI Health Sales Representatives, number of Details by position, and marketing spend, (d) the Field Force Detailing Plan, (e) a three (3)-year sales forecast and (f) any other information necessary or useful for the successful Commercialization of the Product in the Field in the Territory. In the event of any inconsistency between either the Commercialization Plan or Incremental Cost Budget, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Commercialization Plan shall specify and account for the performance of EPI Commercialization Activities by EPI Health and MC2 Commercialization Activities by MC2. In no event shall EPI Health be required to perform any function or activity or to purchase inventory set forth in the Commercialization Plan the cost of which is not covered by the then-current Incremental Cost Budget.

7.3Amendments to the Commercialization Plan and Budget. EPI Health shall prepare and propose on an annual basis, during the fourth (4th) Calendar Quarter of each Calendar Year, and provide to the JSC for discussion and approval, an updated Commercialization Plan covering the following Calendar Year (it being understood that the Commercialization Plan shall at all times be consistent with the then-current Incremental Cost Budget). If the Parties, through the JSC, do not approve a Commercialization Plan prior to the start of Calendar Year 2023 or any Calendar Year thereafter, then EPI Health will continue to Promote the Product and perform the EPI Commercialization Activities with respect to the Product in the Field in the Territory consistent with the existing Commercialization Plan and using the same level of effort; provided that (i) the Parties will work in good faith to approve an updated Commercialization Plan for the applicable

Calendar Year as soon as practicable and (ii) EPI Health shall only be required to perform obligations under such Commercialization Plan to the extent the expenses therefor are included in the applicable Incremental Cost Budget. The Incremental Cost Budget as it pertains to the EPI Health Sales Representatives must be mutually agreed by MC2 and EPI Health. The Incremental Cost Budget shall be updated quarterly in accordance with Section 9.3. In addition, subject to the Agreed Budget Limitations, either Party shall have the right, in consultation with and subject to written approval from the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) to update the Commercialization Plan and/or the Incremental Cost Budget from time to time during the Term in order to reflect material changes in the circumstances on which such plan or budget for such fiscal year is based, including in the event of an Excused Interruption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Commercialization Plan or Incremental Cost Budget, EPI shall not be obligated to order or sell any minimum amount of Product pursuant to the Commercialization Plan, including any forecast set forth therein.

Each Party shall ensure that its reporting to CMS and other federal and state healthcare programs related to the Product is true, complete and correct in all respects; provided, however, that neither Party shall be held responsible for submitting erroneous reports if such deficiencies result from Information provided by the other Party which itself was not true, complete and correct. Each Party shall notify the other Party promptly upon becoming aware of any Product-related inquiries or document requests by any Governmental Authority or claims or threatened claims related to the Product.

(d)Cooperation. The Parties agree that each Party will be solely responsible for conducting its own compliance program but likewise agree that from time to time the Party’s compliance officers may convene for purposes of sharing their respective best practices in ethics and compliance operations.

If the investigation is conducted in accordance with the attorney-client privilege, then such notification shall be made pursuant to a joint-defense agreement in order to maintain all attorney-client privilege protections. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall maintain an effective sales representative monitoring program.

(b)Commercialization. All quantities of Product supplied by MC2 to EPI Health pursuant to Article 8 will bear the Licensed Marks and the Product Labeling (and no other trademarks or content), and EPI Health shall Commercialize Products in the Field in the Territory under such Licensed Marks and with only such Product Labeling. The Product Labeling will include the MC2 corporate name and company trademark as provided and the designation that the Product is “manufactured in the U.S. for MC2 Therapeutics Ltd” and “distributed in the U.S. by EPI Health LLC for MC2 Therapeutics Ltd” or other similar designations as the Parties may agree. MC2 shall be responsible for ensuring that all Product Labeling complies with all Applicable Laws.

(c)Ownership of Licensed Marks. The ownership and use of the Licensed Marks shall be governed by the following provisions:

(iii)EPI Health recognizes MC2’s title in and to the Licensed Marks and to the registration thereof, and will not, at any time, do or authorize any act or thing that will in any way impair the rights of MC2 in and to the Licensed Marks and the registration thereof. Wherever MC2’s trademarks or tradenames are used (e.g., on any label, marketing material or advertisement), the first or most prominent use shall always be accompanied by a legend acceptable to MC2 indicating that the Product is a registered trademark of MC2 and the Licensed Marks are licensed to EPI Health by MC2. In the event that EPI Health, either directly or indirectly, challenges the title of MC2 to any Licensed Mark or the validity of such registration obtained by MC2 for the same, and EPI Health fails to withdraw such challenge within one (1) month of receipt of MC2’s written request therefor, MC2 shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

practicable notify MC2 of any apparent infringement by a Third Party of any of the Licensed Marks.

7.11Cross-Territorial Restrictions. EPI Health hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees will not intentionally, either directly or indirectly, promote, market, distribute, import, sell or have sold the Products, including via internet or mail order, into countries outside the Territory. As to such countries outside the Territory (which are exclusively reserved for MC2), EPI Health shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and their respective Sublicensees will not: (a) establish or maintain any branch, warehouse or distribution facility for Products in such countries, (b) engage in any advertising or promotional activities relating to Products that are directed primarily to customers or other purchaser or users of Products located in such countries, (c) solicit orders for Products from any prospective purchaser primarily located in such countries, or (d) sell or distribute Products to any person in the Territory who EPI knows intends to sell or has in the past sold Products in such countries. If EPI Health receives any order for any Product from a prospective purchaser primarily located in a country outside the Territory, EPI Health shall immediately refer that order to MC2 and EPI Health shall not accept any such orders. EPI Health shall not deliver or tender (or knowingly cause to be delivered or tendered) Products into a country outside of the Territory. EPI Health shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and their respective Sublicensees will not, intentionally restrict or impede in any manner MC2’s exercise of its retained exclusive rights outside the Territory.

8.1Manufacture and Supply. EPI Health shall exclusively hold from MC2, and MC2 will manufacture and supply (either by itself or through a Third Party contract manufacturer) to EPI Health, all of the Product to be held by EPI Health, its Affiliates and Sublicensees’ for Commercialization use in the Field in the Territory under this Agreement, in accordance with the Manufacturing and Supply Terms set forth on Exhibit 8.1 (the “Supply Terms”). MC2 or its designee shall supply the Products, in fully finished (i.e., labeled, packaged, and serialized) form, in accordance with written purchase orders placed by EPI Health in accordance with the Supply Terms and the Quality Agreement; provided however, that EPI shall be responsible for procuring and delivering to MC2 serialization codes/traceability for the Products (using Tracelink). EPI Health shall purchase, transport, import and store the Products. All Products shall be delivered by or on behalf of MC2 to EPI Health EXW MC2’s facility (INCOTERMS 2020 ICC).

8.2Quality Agreement. As of the Effective Date, the Parties have entered into a certain quality agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 8.2 (the “Quality Agreement”),

relating to the supply of Products by MC2 to EPI Health for Commercialization of Products in the Field in the Territory.

9.1Commercialization Fee on Net Sales. EPI Health shall retain from Net Sales, on a monthly basis, a commercialization fee that shall equal a percentage (as indicated in the table, below) of annual aggregate Net Sales of Product sold in the Field in the Territory by EPI Health, its Affiliates and their respective Sublicensees, as follows (the “Commercialization Fee”) (as subsequently adjusted pursuant to Section 9.5):

EPI Health shall pay MC2, on a calendar monthly basis within [***] following the end of the [***] period following the calendar month in which the sale of the Product is recorded by EPI Health (such recording to be done in accordance with GAAP), a royalty payment that shall equal one-hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Net Sales of Product sold in the Field in the Territory by EPI Health, its Affiliates and their respective Sublicensees for which payment was received in the applicable calendar month, minus (i) the Commercialization Fee for such calendar month, minus (ii) any accrued but unpaid Incentive Fees (the remainder, the “Royalty Payment”); provided, however, that Incentive Fees owed to EPI Health will be deferred (and not be retained by EPI Health) in accordance with Section 9.2 below.

9.2Incentive Fee. EPI Health shall be entitled to an incentive fee equal to [***] of the first [***] in Net Sales of Product sold in the Field in the Territory by EPI Health, its Affiliates and their respective Sublicensees in each Calendar Year beginning on the Amendment Effective Date and continuing until December 31, 2023 (the “Incentive Fee”). For clarity, the Incentive Fee shall not exceed [***] each year. The Incentive Fee shall accrue on a monthly basis until December 31, 2023, and any Incentive Fee owed to EPI Health will be deferred (and not be retained by EPI Health) until MC2 has first received Royalty Payments that equal the amount of Unreimbursed Cumulative MC2 IC. Thereafter, the Incentive Fee for the applicable month shall be retained by EPI Health from the Royalty

Payment, along with any accrued but unpaid Incentive Fees; provided that, the Incentive Fee shall accrue but shall only be retained by EPI Health to the extent that the amount of Unreimbursed Cumulative MC2 IC is less than the remainder of Net Sales minus the Commercialization Fee in such month. If Net Sales are not sufficient to pay all accrued but unpaid Incentive Fees, the amount of remaining accrued but unpaid Incentive Fees each month will roll forward to the following calendar month. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, MC2 shall not be responsible for paying, and EPI Health may not retain, any accrued but unpaid Incentive Fees unless (i) MC2 has first received Royalty Payments that equal the amount of Unreimbursed Cumulative MC2 IC, and (ii) Net Sales are sufficient to pay such accrued but unpaid Incentive Fees.

9.3Incremental Costs.

    (a) Subject to Section 6.9 and Section 7.2, each of EPI Health and MC2 shall approve the Incremental Cost Budget at least [***] prior to the beginning of each Calendar Quarter. Such Incremental Cost Budget shall reflect a good faith estimate of the Incremental Costs to be incurred by EPI Health during the immediately following Calendar Quarter based on the Commercialization Plan and the forecast. Within [***] prior to the beginning of each Calendar Quarter, MC2 shall pay to EPI Health an amount equal to the estimated Incremental Costs for the immediately following Calendar Quarter (the “Prepaid Quarter”) based on the approved Incremental Cost Budget less the amount of any applicable IC Prepayment Excess (the “MC2 IC Prepayment”); provided, however, that, except for the first [***] MC2 IC Prepayments made after the Amendment Effective Date (which prepayments are made in the absence of a Quarterly IC Statement), in no event shall MC2 be required to pay the MC2 IC Prepayment within less than [***] following its receipt of a Quarterly IC Statement with respect to the last full Calendar Quarter. If the Parties do not approve the Incremental Cost Budget at least [***] prior to the beginning of each Calendar Quarter, the Incremental Cost Budget for the prior Calendar Quarter shall remain in place (and the MC2 IC Prepayment shall be based on such budget), provided that the Parties will work in good faith to approve an updated Incremental Cost Budget for such Calendar Quarter as soon as practicable (and to adjust the MC2 IC Prepayment as necessary based on such updated budget). EPI Health shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to manage the actual Incremental Costs so as not to exceed the Incremental Cost Budget. Within [***] following the end of each month during the Term, EPI Health will provide monthly statements to MC2 setting forth the Incremental Costs incurred by EPI Health in performing any Incremental Cost Activities in the applicable month (the “Monthly IC Report”). Upon request, EPI Health will promptly provide documentation reasonably requested by MC2 of any particular expense or cost included in the Incremental Costs, including a comparison of such expense against the amounts allocated therefor in the budget set forth in the Incremental Cost Budget. EPI Health shall promptly inform MC2, in writing, upon a determination that EPI Health is likely to overspend the respective budgeted costs in the Incremental Cost Budget in connection with any Incremental Cost Activities and the Parties shall thereafter promptly discuss in good faith any changes in the relevant activity or budget therefor; provided that, EPI Health shall not perform any Incremental Cost Activity that would cause it to overspend the respective budgeted costs in the Commercialization Plan for such activity by more than [***] without MC2’s prior written consent, which

consent shall not be withheld with respect to any increase in the Supply Price or increase in another noncancellable expense for items included in the Commercialization Plan, where such increases are outside EPI Health’s reasonable control. Within [***] following the end of each Calendar Quarter following the Prepaid Quarter during the Term (the “True Up Quarter”), EPI Health shall deliver a statement and invoice (the “Quarterly IC Statement”) showing the amount by which the actual Incremental Costs incurred by EPI Health during such Prepaid Quarter were less than or greater than the MC2 IC Prepayment applicable to such Prepaid Quarter. Accordingly, where Q1 is the Prepaid Quarter, the True Up Quarter is the prior Q3. If the actual Incremental Costs incurred in the Prepaid Quarter were less than the MC2 IC Prepayment for such quarter (a “IC Prepayment Excess”), then the difference shall be rolled forward by EPI Health and MC2 may reduce the amount of the MC2 IC Prepayment for the True Up Quarter by such amount. If the actual Incremental Costs incurred in the Prepaid Quarter were greater than the MC2 IC Prepayment for such quarter (a “IC Prepayment Shortfall”), then MC2 shall pay to EPI Health the IC Prepayment Shortfall; provided, however, that the IC Prepayment Shortfall shall not exceed the Incremental Cost Budget for the applicable Prepaid Quarter by more than [***] unless the excess expenses were approved by MC2 in writing in accordance with this Section 9.3. The Quarterly IC Statement will include an invoice for the IC Prepayment Shortfall and MC2 shall pay such invoice within [***] of receipt. [***].

    (b) [***].

9.4Commercialization Payments; Reports. Commercialization Fees and Incentive Fees under Section 9.1 and 9.2 shall be calculated and reported for each calendar month during the Term. The Royalty Payment for a given calendar month shall be paid by EPI Health to MC2 within [***] after the end of the [***] period following the calendar month in which the sale of the Product is recorded by EPI Health (such recording to be done in accordance with GAAP), commencing with the calendar month in which the First Commercial Sale of a Product is recorded by EPI Health (such recording to be done in accordance with GAAP). Each Royalty Payment shall be accompanied by a report (the “Commercialization Report”) of Net Sales of Products by EPI Health, its Affiliates, and their respective Sublicensees in sufficient detail to permit confirmation of the accuracy of the Royalty Payment made, including: (a) the amount of gross sales and Net Sales of Products in the Territory on a Product-by- Product basis, (b) an itemized calculation showing the Sales Deductions from gross sales (by major category as set forth in the definition of Net Sales) to determine Net Sales, (c) a calculation of the amount of the Commercialization Fee retained by EPI Health in U.S. Dollars, (d) a calculation of the Unreimbursed Cumulative MC2 IC (including cumulative Royalty Payments made to MC2 for purposes of determining whether MC2 has received Royalty Payments that equal the amount of Unreimbursed Cumulative MC2 IC), (e) a calculation of the Incentive Fee and a statement of any accrued and unpaid Incentive Fees, and (f) a calculation of the remaining amount to be paid to MC2 in the form of a Royalty Payment.

9.5True Up. On a Calendar Quarterly basis, each of the Commercialization Fee, the Incentive Fee, and Royalty Payment will be subject to a true-up adjustment to take into account Sales Deductions either (a) allowed with respect to a Calendar Quarter that were not accrued during such Calendar Quarter, or (b) accrued during a Calendar Quarter but not

taken or later subject to a reversal following the end of such Calendar Quarter (each of (a) and (b), a “True-up Adjustment”).  Each Commercialization Report provided by EPI Health with respect to a Calendar Quarter shall set forth the amount of any True-up Adjustment applicable to any prior Calendar Quarter.

9.6Manner and Place of Payment. All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made in United States Dollars ($US) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account in the United States designated in writing by the Party receiving payment.

9.7Late Payments. If a Party does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date therefor, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to such Party from the due date until the date of payment at a per-annum rate of prime plus two (2) percentage points or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Laws, whichever is less.

9.8Records; Audits. EPI Health shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and its and their respective Sublicensees, maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit MC2 to confirm the accuracy of the calculation of Commercialization Fees, Incremental Costs, and Royalty Payments hereunder. All payments and other amounts under this Agreement shall be accounted for in accordance with GAAP. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be available for examination during regular business hours for a period of five (5) years from the end of the EPI Health Fiscal Year to which they pertain, and not more often than once each Calendar Year, by an independent certified public accountant selected by MC2 and reasonably acceptable to EPI Health, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by EPI Health pursuant to this Agreement and any payments with respect thereto. Any such auditor shall not disclose EPI Health’s Confidential Information, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by EPI Health or the amount of payments due under this Agreement. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid shall be paid within [***] from the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 9.1) from the original due date. MC2 shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by EPI Health of more than [***] of the amount due for the audited period, in which case EPI Health shall bear the full cost of such audit.

9.9Taxes.

(a)Taxes on Income. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all Taxes imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the efforts of, or the receipt of any payment by, the Parties under this Agreement.

(b)Tax Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate Tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of commercialization payments and any other payments made by EPI Health to MC2 under this Agreement. To the extent EPI Health is required to deduct and withhold Taxes from any payment to MC2, EPI Health shall pay the amounts of such Taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to MC2 an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable MC2 to

demonstrate such payment of Taxes to any applicable Government Authority. MC2 shall provide EPI Health any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for EPI Health not to withhold Tax or to withhold Tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding Taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding Tax.

(c)Withholding Taxes. If EPI Health is required by Applicable Laws to make any Tax deduction, Tax withholding or similar payment from any amount paid or payable by EPI Health to MC2 (a “Tax Withholding”) under this Agreement, then EPI Health will pay MC2 the actual stated amount set forth under this Agreement in full and shall also pay any such Tax Withholding (including any additional Tax Withholding required with respect to EPI Health’s additional payments under this Section 9.4) directly to the proper Governmental Authority. For clarity, MC2 shall receive, without any deduction or offset with respect to Taxes and free of any Tax Withholding, a net amount equal to, after payment of any Tax Withholding, the amount to which MC2 was otherwise entitled under this Agreement and would have received had no Tax Withholding been required by Applicable Laws to be made.

10.1Ownership of Inventions.

(a)Ownership. Each Party shall own all Inventions generated by or on behalf of such Party in the course of conducting such Party’s activities under this Agreement. EPI Health hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, to MC2 all right title and interest in all Inventions developed by EPI Health that are related to the Product, are generated, developed, conceived or reduced to practice pursuant to the performance of this Agreement, and are based on Confidential Information or trade secrets of MC2 (collectively, “Product Inventions”). EPI Health shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, and its and their Sublicensees, to, execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Section 10.1.

(b)Disclosure of Inventions. EPI Health shall promptly disclose to MC2 all Product Inventions arising in the course of conducting EPI Health’s activities under this Agreement, including all invention disclosures or other similar documents submitted to EPI Health by its, or its Affiliates’, employees, agents or independent contractors describing such inventions. EPI Health shall also respond promptly to reasonable requests from MC2 for more information relating to such Product Inventions.

10.2Prosecution of Patents.

(a)Licensed Patents. As between the Parties, MC2 shall have the sole right and authority to prepare, file, prosecute (including any oppositions, interferences, reissue proceedings, reexaminations and post-grant proceedings) and maintain the Licensed Patents. MC2 shall be responsible for all costs incurred by it in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Licensed Patents.

(b)Cooperation in Prosecution and Extensions. EPI Health shall provide MC2 all reasonable assistance and cooperation in the patent prosecution efforts as provided in this Section 10.2, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution.

10.3Infringement of Patents by Third Parties.

(a)Notification and Cooperation. If EPI Health becomes aware of any existing or threatened infringement of any Licensed Patent (“Infringement”), it shall promptly notify MC2 in writing to that effect, and shall provide evidence in EPI Health’s possession demonstrating such Infringement.

(b)Enforcement Rights. MC2 shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to bring (and to control the prosecution and/or settlement of) an appropriate suit or other action against any Person or entity allegedly engaged in any Infringement of the Licensed Patents in the Territory (and to defend any related counterclaim) by a product containing betamethasone or ester thereof (such as betamethasone dipropionate) and calcipotriene (hereinafter “Product Infringement”). EPI Health shall provide at MC2’s expense reasonable assistance to MC2 in any enforcement action under this Section 10.3. MC2 shall keep EPI Health regularly informed of the status and progress of any enforcement efforts with respect to a Product Infringement.

(c)Settlement. MC2 shall not, without EPI Health’s prior written consent, settle any Product Infringement action that is brought under this Section 10.3 that (i) admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any Licensed Patent, requires abandonment or limits the scope of any such Licensed Patent or would substantially limit or restrict EPI Heath’s ability to sell the Product in the Territory or (ii) admits to any wrongdoing by EPI Health or any of its Affiliates.

(d)Expenses. If MC2 recovers monetary damages in any Product Infringement action, such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any documented expenses incurred by the Parties in such enforcement action, and any remaining amounts shall be treated as Net Sales and subject to the payment of the Commercialization Fee to EPI Health pursuant to Section 9.1.

(e)Other Infringements. MC2 shall have the sole right to enforce Licensed Patents with respect to any Infringement that is not a Product Infringement, including in the Territory, and MC2 shall be entitled to retain all recoveries resulting from all such enforcements.

10.4Third Party Intellectual Property. Either Party shall notify the other Party upon becoming aware of any intellectual property owned by a Third Party that is necessary or useful to Develop, import, make (or have made), use, Promote or Commercialize the Product in the Field in the Territory. MC2 will have the sole right to acquire, at its sole cost and expense, any rights under any such Third Party intellectual property.

10.5Third Party Infringement Claims. If the manufacture, sale or use of the Products in the Field in the Territory pursuant to this Agreement results in a claim, suit or proceeding alleging patent infringement against either Party (or their respective Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees) (collectively, “Infringement Actions”), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party hereto in writing. MC2 shall have the sole right to direct and control the defense of such Infringement Action, at its own expense with counsel of its choice. In any event, MC2 agrees to keep EPI Health reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such Infringement Action for which MC2 exercises its right to direct and control the defense. MC2 agrees not to settle such Infringement Action, or make any admissions or assert any position in such Infringement Action, in a manner that would substantially limit or restrict EPI Heath’s ability to sell the Product in the Territory, without the prior written consent of EPI Health, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12.3Indemnification Procedures.

(a)If any Party seeking indemnity under this Article 12 (the “Indemnified Party”) receives written notice of the commencement of any claim, suit, proceeding or cause of action (“Claim”) by a Third Party or the assertion of any Claim by a Third Party, and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article 12 the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) with written notice of such Third Party Claim, stating the nature, basis for indemnification and the amount thereof, to the extent known, along with copies of any relevant documents evidencing such Third Party Claim. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice, or provide such documentation, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.

documentation and correspondence relating to any Claim and/or factual or insurance matters relating to any Claim, which in the reasonable judgment of the requesting Party may be necessary or useful for perfecting insurance claims, or obtaining coverage or recoveries with respect to such Claim.

(c)The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable assistance, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in connection with the defense of the Claim for which indemnity is being sought. The Indemnified Party may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may assume and conduct the defense of the Claim with counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled without the Indemnified Party’s written consent to (i) assume the defense, appeal or settlement of any Third Party Claim if (A) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, or (B) the Third Party Claim seeks any injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (ii) settle any Claim if such settlement contains a stipulation to or admission or acknowledgement of, any liability or wrongdoing (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) or the incurrence of any costs or expenses, on the part of any Indemnified Party, or (iii) maintain control of the defense, appeal or settlement of any Third Party Claim if the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend in good faith the Third Party Claim.

(d)So long as the Indemnifying Party is entitled to do so and has assumed the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings of the Third Party Claim in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings of the Third Party Claim (provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim or if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest (due to one or more legal defenses or counterclaims which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or other such conflicts)), (ii) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not (A) admit to any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, or (B) consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement provides for equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or if such judgment or such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and impose no ongoing constraint on the Indemnified Party, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

thereto. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, appeal or settlement proceedings, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

12.4Insurance. Each Party shall procure and maintain insurance, at its sole cost and expense and at all times during the Term of this Agreement, with respect to its activities hereunder that is consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated, including general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. All required insurance will be purchased from insurance companies authorized to do business within the state(s) where the services are being performed, and rated A.M. Best A-VIII or better. Any deductibles associated with the required insurance coverage of either Party will be assumed by the respective Party at its sole cost and expense. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 12 or as otherwise required by law. Neither Party represents that coverage and limits required will be adequate to fund all losses for which either Party may be liable. Upon execution of this Agreement, each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance. Each Party shall further provide written notice to the other Party at least thirty (30) days prior to cancellation or non-renewal of such insurance of self-insurance which materially adversely affects the rights of the other Party hereunder.

13.1Confidentiality. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, each Party agrees that, during the Term and for ten (10) years thereafter, it shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement (which includes the exercise of any rights or the performance of any obligations hereunder) any Confidential Information furnished by or on behalf of a Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement, except for that portion of such information or materials that the receiving Party can demonstrate by competent written proof:

13.2Authorized Disclosure. Each Party or its Affiliate may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party without violation of Section 13.1 to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following situations:

(e)disclosure to its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, independent contractors, licensees, sublicensees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, actual or potential acquirers, lenders, and investors, insurers and/or licensors in each case only on a need-to-know basis and, except for disclosures to lenders, solely in connection with the performance of this Agreement, provided, that each disclosee must be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as restrictive in scope as those set forth in this Article 13 prior to any such disclosure.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Sections 13.2(a), 13.2(b), 13.2(c) or 13.2(d), it will, unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Laws or Guidelines, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information at the other Party’s sole cost and expense. In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder.

13.3Publicity.

filing required by law, the disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with such advance notice as it reasonably can, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain approval therefor, and shall consider in good faith any comments timely received from the other Party. A Party commenting on such a proposed press release shall provide its comments, if any, within seven (7) Business Days after receiving the press release for review. Neither Party shall be required to seek the permission of the other Party to repeat any information regarding the terms of this Agreement that have already been publicly disclosed by such Party, or by the other Party, in accordance with this Section 13.3.

(c)The Parties acknowledge that a Party may be obligated to describe in a periodic report filed with the SEC or other Governmental Authorities the material terms of this Agreement and file a copy of this Agreement with the SEC or other Governmental Authorities. Such Party shall be entitled to describe such material terms and to make such a required filing, provided, that it requests confidential treatment of at least the commercial terms and sensitive technical terms hereof and thereof to the extent such confidential treatment is reasonably available to such Party. In the event of any such filing, such Party will provide the other Party with a copy of the Agreement marked to show provisions for which such Party intends to seek confidential treatment before such intended filing, and shall reasonably consider and incorporate the other Party’s comments thereon to the extent consistent with the legal requirements governing redaction of information from material agreements that must be publicly filed.

13.4Return of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement and at the disclosing Party’s written request, the receiving Party will promptly return or, at the disclosing Party’s election, destroy all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, including all reproductions and copies thereof in any medium, except that the receiving Party may retain one (1) copy for its legal files. The receiving Party shall confirm in writing that all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information has been returned or destroyed and that not more than one (1) copy has been kept.

13.5Exclusive Property. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, as between the Parties, all Confidential Information of a disclosing Party is the sole and exclusive property of such disclosing Party and the permitted use thereof by the receiving Party for purposes of its performance hereunder will not be deemed a license or other right of the receiving Party to use any such Confidential Information for any other purpose.

13.6Restrictions on Use. Each Party shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall not, use any Confidential Information of the other Party in development, regulatory, manufacturing or commercialization activities with respect to any pharmaceutical product other than the Product.

14.1Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall continue until the earlier of seventh (7th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of the Product or end of June 2028, unless the Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to the other provisions of this Article 14 (the “Term”).

14.2Material Breach. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party has materially breached this Agreement and, after receiving written notice from the non-breaching Party identifying such material breach in reasonable detail, the other Party has (a) failed to cure such material breach within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of such notice, or (b) failed to pay an Uncured Late Payment within the twenty (20) calendar day time period provided for below. Any failure to pay any undisputed amount shall be deemed, and is hereby agreed by the Parties to be, a material breach of this Agreement if it remains unpaid for a period longer than twenty (20) calendar days after notice of non-payment has been provided (an “Uncured Late Payment”). For clarity, EPI Health’s failure to meet the EPI Health Target Quarterly Details for two (2) consecutive Calendar Quarters, other than (i) due to an Excused Interruption or (ii) if such failure occurs after the effective date of a change from P1 Detailing following a P1 Notice, shall be deemed a material breach.

14.3Bankruptcy. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon the filing or institution of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings by the other Party, or upon the failure by such Party for more than ninety (90) days to discharge or obtain the dismissal of any such actions filed against it. Such termination shall be effective upon receipt of notice from the Party not involved in such event.

14.4Termination for Convenience. MC2 shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, upon twelve (12) months’ written notice to EPI Health; provided however, that no such termination shall be effective unless and until MC2 has either (i) paid in full to EPI Health the Incremental Costs, EPI Commercialization Fees, and the Sunset Payments owed by MC2 to EPI Health as of and following termination as calculated in accordance with the terms hereof (the “MC2 Obligations”), or (ii) provided EPI Health with a letter of credit from a U.S. bank or a guarantee of similar security duly executed by the two controlling shareholders (holding companies of Clausen and Schroder families) of MC2 Therapeutics A/S (the 100% parent company of MC2) that is reasonably satisfactory to EPI Health in an amount sufficient to satisfy the MC2 Obligations in full for as long as any portion of the MC2 Obligations remain outstanding and which permits EPI Health to draw on such letter of credit in the event that MC2 fails to pay in full any MC2 Obligation to EPI Health when due in accordance with the terms hereof. EPI Health shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, upon twelve (12) months’ written notice to MC2; provided however, that no such termination shall be effective unless and until EPI Health has either (i) provided MC2 with a letter of credit from a U.S. bank or (ii)

has provided MC2 with a guarantee duly executed by Novan, Inc. (“Novan”) (as the parent company of EPI Health), or the parent company of EPI Health at the time such guarantee is provided, in each case providing for the punctual and complete payment to MC2 when due of (x) the amount by which the outstanding Royalty Payments owed by EPI Health to MC2 exceed the accrued Sales Deductions and unreimbursed Incremental Cost that have not been paid by MC2 or assumed in writing by MC2 and (y) the payment to the applicable third party by EPI Health of the accrued rebates to the extent such accrued rebates have been deducted from the Royalty Payments paid to MC2; provided further, that once nine (9) months have passed following EPI Health’s delivery of a termination notice to MC2 under this Section 14.4, EPI Health shall have no further obligation under Section 2.5 (non-competition) of this Agreement and Section 2.5 shall no longer apply to EPI Health.

In the event of termination by MC2 pursuant to this Section 14.5, beginning from the date of such written notice of termination by MC2, all amounts received in connection with Net Sales of the Product shall be solely and exclusively for MC2’s benefit.

14.6Effects of Termination of the Agreement.

(a)Upon termination of this Agreement by MC2 pursuant to Section 14.4 or Section 16.4, or by EPI Health pursuant to Section 12.1, 14.2, or Section 14.3, EPI Health shall be entitled to receive from MC2, for the twenty-four (24) month period immediately following the effective date of such termination (the “Sunset Period”), a payment (the “Sunset Payment”) calculated as follows:

Such Sunset Payments shall be made in [***] equal Calendar Quarterly installments during the duration of the Sunset Period, each Calendar Quarterly installment to be paid within [***] days after the end of each full or partial Calendar Quarter of such twelve (12) month period.

(iii)Transition Assistance. Upon MC2’s reasonable request, EPI Health shall provide reasonable consultation and assistance following termination for the purpose of enabling MC2 to continue the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization and other exploitation of the Products, in the form that such Products exist as of the effective date of termination, in the Field in the Territory. For clarity, EPI Health shall not be required to perform any activities as a result of this Section 14.7(b)(iv) that are unrelated to the activities that EPI Health performed prior to the effective date of termination. Each Party shall undertake not to actively and personally solicit or hire any employee of the other Party for a period of six (6) months from effective date of termination.

(iv)Remaining Inventories. Upon payment to EPI Health of the Supply Price as part of the reimbursement of EPI’s Incremental Costs hereunder, EPI Health shall deliver all remaining inventory of Product to MC2.

(v)Access to Information. EPI Health shall reasonably cooperate with MC2 to provide MC2 with reasonable access to such Information and reports related to the Product reasonably required by MC2 in order to comply with the relevant provisions of the Medicare Modernization Act, as amended from time to time, and any other Applicable Laws and Guidelines, including reporting requirements, in a timely and appropriate manner.

15.1Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. Each Party hereto agrees that any such proceeding will be conducted solely in the English language.

If (i) at any time during such [***] notice period and prior to EPI Health completing the Change of Control transaction with such identified Third Party, MC2 consents in writing to continue with such identified Third Party, or (ii) an additional [***] notice period expires after written reminder notice from EPI Health without

MC2 notifying EPI Health of its intent to terminate, then thereafter MC2 shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 16.4 in the event of such Change of Control of EPI Health; provided, however, that if at any point during the full [***] notice period MC2 provides EPI Health with prior written notice of its intent not to continue with such identified Third Party, then MC2 retains the right to terminate this Agreement immediately under Section 16.4 in the event of such Change of Control of EPI Health.

16.5Condition Precedent.

Once the Condition Precedent is satisfied, this entire Agreement will be fully in effect and each of the Parties will be bound by its terms and conditions without any further action by the Parties. Until such time as the Condition Precedent is satisfied, only Article 13 (Confidentiality) and this Section 16.5 (Condition Precedent) of this Agreement are in effect, and the Original Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If the Condition Precedent is not satisfied within [***] after the Execution Date, this Agreement (including Section Article 13 (Confidentiality) and Section 16.5 (Condition Precedent)) shall automatically terminate in its entirety and have no effect, and the Original Agreement will continue to remain in full force and effect.

16.6Force Majeure. Both Parties will be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by a Force Majeure Event and the non-performing Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse will continue for so long as the condition constituting the Force Majeure Event continues and the non-performing Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party will not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a Force Majeure Event affecting such Party. If a Force Majeure Event persists for more than [***], then the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement to mitigate the delays caused by such Force Majeure Event.

NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CLAIMS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 16.8 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 12.1 OR 12.2, OR DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 13.

16.9Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized; provided, however, that the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the Parties hereto will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

16.10No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

16.11Relationship of the Parties. Neither Party will have any responsibility for the hiring, termination or compensation of the other Party’s employees or for any employee benefits of such employee. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either Party, or representative or employee thereof, the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way without such Party’s approval.
