Roche (or Roche’s designated Affiliate) shall assume responsibility for payment under such Third Party CMO agreements for (i) Roche IND Clearance Activities, (ii) after the Responsibility Transfer Date, such services as Eleven is required to maintain under this Agreement (unless waived in writing by Roche), and (iii) such additional services as Roche requests. At such time as Roche assumes responsibility for payment, Roche (or Roche’s designated Affiliate) shall have authority for directing the activities of the applicable CMOs in Eleven’s stead (or through Eleven, as applicable) in accordance with the applicable CMO agreement, and Eleven shall cooperate with Roche to ensure transfer of such authority with the applicable CMOs.

Eleven shall maintain responsibility for the existing inventory of EBI-031 and Licensed Product containing EBI-031 up to the Responsibility Transfer Date; however if so requested by Roche, all or a portion of the Inventory and Eleven Cell Line Materials may be transferred prior to the Responsibility Transfer Date (with Eleven having the right to retain such Inventory and Eleven Cell Line Materials needed for Eleven to meet its Eleven IND Clearance Activities under Section 4.1). After the Responsibility Transfer Date (but for no longer than fifteen (15) months after the Effective Date), Eleven shall, via the Third Party CMO agreements (as previously described) under the direction of Roche in Eleven’s stead or through Eleven, as applicable, maintain the remaining then-existing Inventory and Eleven Cell Line Materials until such time as (a) Roche requests and Eleven transfers (or causes to be transferred) such Inventory and Eleven Cell Line Materials to Roche or

- 21 -

Roche’s designee, or (b) Roche or its Affiliate(s) enters into agreements with the applicable CMOs, or such agreements are assigned to Roche or its Affiliate, so that Roche may, directly or through its Affiliates, through such CMOs or other Third Parties, maintain such Inventory and Eleven Cell Line Materials. For clarity, the maintenance by Eleven of the Inventory and Eleven Cell Line Materials under the CMO agreements after the Responsibility Transfer Date shall be paid for by Roche, however such transfer of the Inventory and Eleven Cell Line Materials to Roche or Roche’s designee shall be at Eleven’s expense. Once Roche or its Affiliate(s) has in place agreements with the applicable CMOs (or such agreements are assigned to Roche or its Affiliate) or Eleven has transferred (or caused to be transferred) the Inventory and Eleven Cell Line Materials to Roche or Roche’s designee in accordance with this Section, but in any event no later than fifteen (15) months after the Effective Date, Eleven shall be free to terminate such Eleven CMO agreements.

In addition, at Roche’s reasonable request and expense, Eleven shall, within three (3) months after the later of the Effective Date or the Responsibility Transfer Date, support the transfer of such manufacturing activities and related know-how in Eleven’s possession and Control to Roche or Roche’s designee, including making available to answer Roche questions Eleven representative(s) with historical knowledge of such CMO activities and contracts.

Roche or Roche’s designee shall in all other events be responsible at its own expense for the manufacture and supply of clinical and commercial supplies of the Product.

6.3

GMP Quality Agreements and Auditing

Upon Roche’s request, the Parties shall execute a separate GMP quality agreement as Roche deems necessary according to US GMP requirements for the sole purpose of allowing Roche to verify Eleven’s ability to perform lot disposition according to US GMP requirements and verifying where applicable that current quality agreements in place with CMOs are acceptable for the existing GMP Inventory and GMP Eleven Cell Line Materials.

To the extent it has not done so, and where necessary according to US GMP requirements, Eleven shall

(a)	promptly enter into a GMP quality agreement with Eleven’s CMOs (including Eurofins Lancaster Laboratories, Inc.), and

(b)	in good faith facilitate a joint GMP audit of such CMOs by Eleven with Roche, in each case at Roche’s expense.

7.	Commercialization

Roche, at its own expense, shall have sole responsibility and, as between the Parties, but subject to Article 3, decision making authority for the marketing, promotion, sale and distribution of Products in the Territory.

8.	Information Exchange and Reports

8.1

Alliance Director

Each Party shall appoint one person to be its point of contact with responsibility for facilitating communication and collaboration between the Parties (each, an “Alliance Director”). The Alliance Directors shall attempt to facilitate resolution of potential and pending issues and potential disputes. Each Party may change its Alliance Director on written or email notice to the other Party.

- 22 -

8.2

Updates to Eleven

Prior to the first Licensed Product to achieve First Commercial Sale, Roche shall provide Eleven with an annual summary report of the Roche Group’s development activities with respect to Licensed Products. In addition, prior to the first BLA Filing, the Roche Alliance Director shall be available upon Eleven’s request to answer questions about the status of the Roche Group’s development activities once per each Calendar Quarter (except for such Calendar Quarter that Roche provides Eleven with the annual summary report).

9.	Payment

9.1

License Fee

Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date and receipt of an invoice from Eleven, Roche shall pay to Eleven Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars (US$ 7,500,000).

9.2

Event Payments

Roche shall pay up to a total of Two Hundred Sixty-Two Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars (US$ 262,500,000) in relation to the achievements of events with respect to Licensed Products. The event payments under this Section 9.2 shall be paid by Roche according to the following schedule of development events.


Event		US Dollars (in millions)
IND Clearance- Related Events	(a) IND Clearance (if IND Clearance is achieved on or before September 15, 2016)	$	22.5	*
	(b) IND Clearance (if IND Clearance is achieved after September 15, 2016 and no Extended Roche GLP Tox Study)	$	20	*
	(c) Initiation of the first Extended Roche GLP Tox Study (the “Extended Roche GLP Tox Study Event”)	$	5	*
	(d) IND Clearance (if IND Clearance is achieved after September 15, 2016 and subsequent to completion of an Extended Roche GLP Tox Study)	$	15
Initiation of the first Phase II Study		$	20
Initiation of the first Phase III Study		$	30
BLA Filing in US		$	25

First Commercial Sale in US		$	40
First Commercial Sale anywhere in the EU**		$	25
First Commercial Sale in Japan		$	10
BLA Filing for a second Indication in US		$	10
BLA Filing for a second Indication anywhere in the EU**		$	5
Regulatory Approval in a second Indication in US		$	30
Regulatory Approval in a second Indication anywhere in the EU**		$	20

- 23 -

Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.2, each event payment shall be paid only once, the first time the first Licensed Product reaches the applicable triggering event, regardless of the number of times such events are reached and by how many Licensed Products. To the extent that any of the above triggering events contemplate precursor events (e.g., the first Phase III Study for a Licensed Product commonly follows the first Phase II Study for a Licensed Product), such triggering event, if achieved, shall result in the payment of the contemplated precursor milestone payment if such payment has not yet otherwise been triggered.

For any events first achieved by a Licensed Product containing a Licensed Compound other than EBI-031, Eleven shall receive fifty percent (50%) of the amounts in the above table with no further amount owed for any such event; provided, however, that if the event first achieved with such Licensed Compound other than EBI-031 involves a non-ophthalmology indication and the event subsequently-achieved with a Licensed Product containing EBI-031 involves an ophthalmology indication, then Eleven shall receive the remaining fifty percent (50%) of such amounts.

* minus the Exclusivity Fee Payment (as such term is defined in the Exclusivity Agreement) previously paid by Roche. For clarity, only one of the IND Clearance payments in clause (a), (b) or (d) above shall be payable under this Agreement, and the Extended Roche GLP Tox Study Event in clause (c) above shall only apply in conjunction with the IND Clearance event payment associated therewith in clause (d) above.

** Event payments shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) in the event there is no Eleven Patent Right issued anywhere in the EU containing a Primary Composition of Matter Claim Covering the Licensed Compound in such Licensed Product or the Licensed Product at the time the event is achieved.

The applicable IND Clearance event payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after occurrence of the IND Clearance (of which Roche shall timely notify Eleven if the IND Clearance occurs after the Responsibility Transfer Date) and receipt of an invoice from Eleven. For all other event payments, upon achieving events, Roche shall timely notify Eleven and event payments shall be paid by Roche to Eleven within thirty (30) days from occurrence of the applicable event and receipt of an invoice from Eleven.

9.3

Royalty Payments

9.3.1 Royalty Term

Roche shall pay to Eleven royalties on Net Sales of Licensed Products during the applicable Royalty Terms. Thereafter, the licenses granted to Roche shall be fully paid up, irrevocable and royalty-free.

9.3.2 Royalty Rates

The following royalty rates shall apply to the respective tiers of aggregate Calendar Year Net Sales of a Licensed Product in the Territory, on an incremental basis, as follows:

- 24 -


Tier of Calendar Year Net Sales in billion US$		Percent (%) of Net Sales of Licensed Products containing EBI-031*
0 – 1		7.5%
> 1 – 2		9%
> 2 – 4		11%
> 4		15%

For example, if Net Sales of a Licensed Product containing EBI-031, for a given Calendar Year, are US$ 3.5 billion, then royalties owed to Eleven on such Net Sales of such Licensed Product for that Calendar Year shall equal US$ three hundred thirty million (US$ 330,000,000) calculated as follows:

[(0.075*1 billion)+(0.09*1 billion)+(0.11*1.5 billion)] = US$330,000,000 royalty payment

* Royalty rates on Licensed Products that do not contain EBI-031 shall be at fifty percent (50%) of the EBI-031 royalty rates.

For the purpose of calculating royalties of a Licensed Product, Calendar Year Net Sales and the royalty rates shall be subject to the following adjustments, as applicable:

9.3.3 Combination Product

If Roche or its Affiliates intend to sell a Combination Product, then the Parties shall meet approximately one (1) year prior to the anticipated First Commercial Sale of such Combination Product in the Territory to negotiate in good faith and agree to an appropriate adjustment to Net Sales to reflect the relative commercial value contributed by the components of the Combination Product (the “Relative Commercial Value”). If, after such good faith negotiations not to exceed ninety (90) days, the Parties cannot agree to an appropriate adjustment, the dispute shall be initially referred to the executive officers of the Parties in accordance with Section 21.2.

If the Parties are unable to agree on the Relative Commercial Value, then Roche will select one (1) individual who would qualify as an Expert, Eleven will select (1) individual who would qualify as an Expert, and those two (2) individuals shall select one (1) individual who would qualify as an Expert and who shall be chairman of a committee of the three Experts (the “Expert Committee”), each with a single vote. The Expert Committee will promptly hold a meeting to review the issue under review, at which it will consider memoranda submitted by each Party at least fifteen (15) days before the meeting, as well as reasonable presentations that each Party may present at the meeting. The determination of the Expert Committee as to the issue under review will be binding on both Parties. The Parties will share equally in the costs of the Expert Committee. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, the Expert Committee may not decide on issues outside the scope mandated under terms of this Section 9.3.3.

For any Combination Product that includes the active ingredient ranibizumab as its only other active ingredient, the Relative Commercial Value of the Licensed Compound may not be less than fifty percent (50%); however if either Eleven or Roche reasonably believes the Licensed Compound in a Combination Product that includes ranibizumab as its only other active ingredient has a Relative Commercial Value of more than fifty percent (50%) in such Combination Product, then the procedure in this Section 9.3.3 shall apply.

- 25 -

9.3.4 No Primary Composition of Matter Claim

With respect to a given Licensed Product, if in a given country within the Territory there is no Primary Composition of Matter Claim Covering such Licensed Product in such country, then

(a)

If, after the ten year anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country, there is a Secondary Composition of Matter Claim Covering such Licensed Product in such country and a Biosimilar Product has entered the market in such country then no royalty payments shall be due to Eleven for such Licensed Product in such country; otherwise

(b)	the royalty payments due to Eleven for such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%).

9.3.5 Biosimilar Product

(a)

If a Product that is a Biosimilar Product to a given Licensed Product enters the market in a given country prior to the end of the Royalty Term and Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country subsequently decrease for two consecutive Calendar Quarters by more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the level of the Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country achieved in the Calendar Year immediately prior to such entry divided by four, then the royalty rate owed to Eleven for such Licensed Product shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) in such country.

(b)

If subsequent to such a Biosimilar Product entry, the Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country decrease by more than fifty percent (50%) of the level of the Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country achieved in the Calendar Year immediately prior to such entry divided by four, then the royalty rate owed to Eleven in such country for such Licensed Product shall be reduced by seventy-five percent (75%) in such country.

9.3.6 Third Party Payments

Eleven shall be responsible for satisfying the obligations of all existing licenses entered into by Eleven prior to the Effective Date. The Roche Group shall be responsible for and pay or have paid the entire consideration owed to any Roche Group Third Party in relation to Roche Group Third Party intellectual property rights the Roche Group secures after the Effective Date.

(a)

The Roche Group shall not have the right to deduct any amounts paid by the Roche Group for any Patent Right that claims (i) any pharmaceutically-active compound other than a Licensed Compound, (ii) any use claims (except those claiming one or more approved Indications for the Licensed Product in the given country) or (iii) any manufacturing claims.

(b)

For all other Patent Rights that the Roche Group otherwise would have Infringed by selling the relevant Licensed Product in the relevant country, the Roche Group shall have the right to deduct from royalties otherwise due and payable by the Roche Group to Eleven for such Licensed Product in such country under the Agreement (i) a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of the royalties actually paid by the Roche Group to a Roche Group Third Party with respect to such arrangement except for Patent Rights that claim any delivery device and (i) a maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the royalties actually paid by the Roche Group to a Roche Group Third Party with respect to such arrangement for Patent Rights that claim any delivery device. Roche may not otherwise deduct the amounts paid to any such Roche Group Third Party, including any amounts for the development of any Licensed Product.

9.3.7 Maximum Deductions

In no event shall the reductions resulting from Sections 9.3.4(b), 9.3.5 or 9.3.6, in the aggregate, reduce the royalty payments to Eleven for any Licensed Product below fifty percent (50%) of the payments that would otherwise be due for such Licensed Product pursuant to Section 9.3.2 and 9.3.3, or, if Section 9.3.5(b) applies, below twenty-five percent (25%) of the payments that would be otherwise due for such Licensed Product pursuant to Section 9.3.2 and 9.3.3.

- 26 -

9.3.8

Apportionment of Compulsory Sublicensee Consideration

Compulsory Sublicense Compensation received by a member of the Roche Group from a Compulsory Sublicensee during the Royalty Term shall be shared with Eleven on an equivalent profit share percentage (the “Compulsory Profit Share Percentage”) calculated for the respective Calendar Year as follows:


1.5 x		(royalties payable to Eleven for the Licensed Product in the Territory)
1.5 x		(Net Sales related to the royalties payable for the Licensed Product in the Territory)

At the end of the Calendar Year, Roche shall pay to Eleven the Compulsory Sublicense Compensation under a given country or region of the Territory multiplied by the Compulsory Profit Share Percentage. The first time the Roche Group receives Compulsory Sublicense Compensation with respect to a given country and Licensed Product, Roche shall provide in writing (to the extent allowed by Applicable Law) the (i) name of the Licensed Product, country and Compulsory Sublicensee to which such Compulsory Sublicense applies and (ii) the reason for the relevant Compulsory Sublicense. For clarity, any sales or payments by Compulsory Sublicensees under a Compulsory Sublicense shall not be considered as Net Sales and shall not give rise to any royalty payment under Section 9.3.2 of this Agreement.

9.4

Buy-out Options

Roche shall have the right by providing written notice (the “Buy-out Notice”) during either the First Option Period (the “First Buy-out Option”) or the Second Option Period (the “Second Buy-out Option”), to elect to make a one-time payment to Eleven to buy-out Roche’s remaining payment obligations under the Agreement with respect to events that had not yet been achieved under Section 9.2 and Sales that had not yet been made under Section 9.3 (the First Buy-out Option and the Second Buy-out Option each being a “Buy-out Option”). If Roche elects to make such payment by providing a timely Buy-out Notice and thereafter making the associated payment described in this Section, Roche’s exclusive license grant pursuant to Section 2.2 shall become perpetual, irrevocable and fully paid-up.

If Roche elects to make the First Buy-out Option, Roche shall pay Eleven a one-time payment of One Hundred Thirty-Five Million US Dollars (US$ 135,000,000) within thirty (30) days after providing such timely Buy-out Notice to Eleven and receipt by Roche of an invoice in such amount, after which Roche shall have no further payment (under Sections 9.2 and 9.3) or diligence obligations to Eleven under the Agreement (including, for clarity, any milestone payments on events that occur after delivery of the Buy-out Notice, but not prior to delivery of the Buy-out Notice).

If Roche elects to make the Second Buy-out Option, Roche shall pay Eleven a one-time payment of

(i)	Two Hundred Sixty-Five Million US Dollars (US$ 265,000,000) in the event a Patent Right containing a Primary Composition of Matter Claim Covering any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product has issued anywhere in the EU, or

(ii)	Two Hundred Twenty Million US Dollars (US$ 220,000,000) in the event no Patent Right containing a Primary Composition of Matter Claim Covering any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product has issued anywhere in the EU,

- 27 -

within thirty (30) days after providing such timely Buy-out Notice to Eleven and receipt by Roche of an invoice in such amount, after which Roche shall have no further payment (under Sections 9.2 and 9.3) or diligence obligations to Eleven under the Agreement (including, for clarity, any milestone payments on events, or royalties on Sales, that occur after delivery of the Buy-out Notice, but not prior to delivery of the Buy-out Notice).

If Roche does not elect to make a Buy-out Option, all remaining payment obligations pursuant to Sections 9.2 and 9.3 shall continue.

9.5

Disclosure of Payments

Each Party acknowledges that the other Party may be obligated to disclose this financial arrangement, including all fees, payments and transfers of value, as may be advisable or required under Applicable Law, including the US Sunshine Act.

10.

Accounting and Reporting

10.1

Timing of Payments

Roche shall calculate royalties on Net Sales quarterly as of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (each being the last day of an “Accounting Period”) and shall pay royalties on Net Sales within ninety (90) days after the end of each Accounting Period in which such Net Sales occur.

10.2

Late Payment

Any payment under this Agreement that is not paid on or before the date such payment is due shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, at two (2) percentage points above the average one-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), as reported by Reuters from time to time, calculated on the number of days such payment is overdue.

10.3

Method of Payment

Royalties on Net Sales and all other amounts payable by Roche hereunder shall be paid by Roche in US Dollars (the “Payment Currency”) from a US bank account in immediately available funds to account(s) designated by Eleven.

10.4

Currency Conversion

When calculating the Sales of any Licensed Product that occur in currencies other than the Payment Currency, Roche shall convert the amount of such sales into Swiss Francs and then into the Payment Currency using Roche’s then-current internal foreign currency translation method actually used on a consistent basis in preparing its audited financial statements (at the Effective Date, YTD average rate as reported by Reuters).

10.5

Reporting

With each payment Roche shall provide Eleven in writing for the relevant Calendar Quarter on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis the following information:

(a)	Sales in Swiss Francs;

(b)	Net Sales in Swiss Francs;

(c)	adjustments made pursuant to Section 9.3.3;

- 28 -

(d)	Net Sales in Swiss Francs after adjustments made pursuant to Section 9.3.3 in Swiss Francs;

(e)	exchange rate used for the conversion of Net Sales from Swiss Francs to the Payment Currency pursuant to Section 10.4;

(f)	Net Sales after adjustments made pursuant to Section 9.3.3 in the Payment Currency;

(g)	royalty rate pursuant to Section 9.3.2;

(h)	adjustments under Sections 9.3.4 - 9.3.7; and

(i)	total royalty payable in the Payment Currency after adjustments made pursuant to Sections 9.3.4 - 9.3.7.

11.

Taxes

Eleven shall pay all sales, turnover, income, revenue, value added, and other taxes levied on account of any payments accruing or made to Eleven under this Agreement, excluding any of the foregoing due on the net income of a member of the Roche Group.

If Applicable Law of any country requires withholding of taxes of any type, levies or other charges with respect to any royalty or other amount payable under this Agreement by Roche to Eleven despite Roche’s compliance with Section 10.3, then Roche shall promptly pay such tax, levy or charge for and on behalf of Eleven to the proper governmental authority, and shall promptly furnish Eleven with receipt of payment, in which case Roche shall be entitled to deduct the amount of any such tax, levy or charge actually paid from any royalty or other payment due Eleven. Each Party agrees to reasonably assist the other Party in claiming exemption from such deductions or withholdings under double taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force and in minimizing the amount required to be so withheld or deducted, including by providing or filing any relevant certificate or other document.

All royalties and payments due to Eleven under the terms of this Agreement are expressed to be exclusive of value added tax (VAT). If VAT applies the VAT amount will be added to any royalties and payments under this Agreement.

12.

Auditing

12.1

Eleven Right to Audit

Roche shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, full, true and accurate books of account containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of calculating all royalties payable under this Agreement. Such books of accounts shall be kept at their principal place of business. At the expense of Eleven, Eleven shall have the right to engage an internationally recognized independent public accountant reasonably acceptable to Roche to perform, on behalf of Eleven, an audit of such books and records of Roche and its Affiliates and Sublicensees that are deemed necessary by the independent public accountant to report on Net Sales of Licensed Product for the period or periods requested by Eleven and the correctness of any financial report or payments made under this Agreement.

Upon timely request and at least sixty (60) working days’ prior written notice from Eleven, such audit shall be conducted in the countries specifically requested by Eleven, during regular business hours in such a manner as to not unnecessarily interfere with Roche’s normal business activities. Such audit shall be limited to results in the three (3) Calendar Years prior to audit notification. Accordingly if Eleven does not request an audit of a given Calendar Year for a given country on or before the third (3^rd) anniversary of the end of such Calendar Year, then Eleven will be deemed to have accepted the royalty payments and reports for such country in such Calendar Year.

- 29 -

Such audit shall not be performed more frequently than once per Calendar Year nor more frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period of time.

All information, data documents and abstracts herein referred to shall be used only for the purpose of verifying royalty statements, shall be treated as Roche’s Confidential Information subject to the obligations of this Agreement and need neither be retained more than one (1) year after completion of an audit hereof, if an audit has been requested; nor more than three (3) years from the end of the Calendar Year to which each shall pertain; nor more than one (1) year after the date of termination of this Agreement.

12.2

Audit Reports

The auditors shall only state factual findings in the audit reports and shall not interpret this Agreement. The auditors shall share all draft audit findings with Roche before sharing such findings with Eleven and before the final audit report is issued. The final audit report shall be shared with Roche at the same time it is shared with Eleven.

12.3

Over- or Underpayment

If the audit reveals an overpayment, Eleven shall reimburse Roche for the amount of the overpayment within thirty (30) days. If the audit reveals an underpayment, Roche shall make up such underpayment with the next royalty payment or, if no further royalty payments are owed by Roche, Roche shall reimburse Eleven for the amount of the underpayment within thirty (30) days. Roche shall pay for the audit costs if the underpayment of Roche exceeds five percent (5%) of the aggregate amount of royalty payments owed with regard to the royalty statements subject of the audit. Section 10.2 shall apply to this Section 12.3.

13.

Intellectual Property

13.1

Prosecution of Primary Eleven Patent Rights

13.1.1 Prior to Exercising Buy-out Option

Until such time as Roche exercises a Buy-out Option (or after the Second Option Period if Roche fails to timely exercise both Buy-out Options), Roche shall, at its own expense and, at Eleven’s request, in consultation with Eleven, Handle all

(i)	Core Patent Rights and

(ii)	other Eleven Patent Rights (excluding Non-Prosecution Patent Rights) claiming Products or any Compound therein (or any uses thereof) for a Product that has reached at least Initiation of a Phase I Study in development by or on behalf of a member of the Roche Group,

collectively the “Primary Eleven Patent Rights”.

During such time,

(a)	Roche shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Handle Primary Eleven Patent Rights, without Roche taking into account the payment reductions under this Agreement that would occur if any such Patent Rights were not to exist or if any applicable Composition of Matter Claim were not to exist.

- 30 -

(b)

Should Roche decide that it does not desire to Handle a Primary Eleven Patent Right, it shall promptly advise Eleven thereof in writing in sufficient time as is reasonably needed for Eleven to not lose any rights with respect to such Primary Eleven Patent Right. Eleven may thereafter Handle the same at Eleven’s own cost, to the extent that Eleven desires to do so.

13.1.2

After Exercising Buy-out Option

After such time as Roche exercises a Buy-out Option, Roche may Handle all Primary Eleven Patent Rights (except those which Roche previously opted not to Handle under Section 13.1.1) at its own expense and discretion and without consultation with Eleven. Roche shall not be required to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Handle such Primary Eleven Patent Rights and shall not be required to advise Eleven if it desires to discontinue the Handling of a given Primary Eleven Patent Right or be required to allow Eleven to continue Handling. If Roche so requests, Eleven will, at Roche’s expense, assign to Roche all of Eleven’s ownership rights under such Primary Eleven Patent Rights designated by Roche that are owned by Eleven (such rights, upon assignment, the “Eleven Assigned Patent Rights”). Eleven shall provide copies of lab notebooks and inventor contact information as may be necessary for Roche to assume ownership responsibility for such Eleven Assigned Patent Rights.

13.2

Prosecution of Select Non-Prosecution Patent Rights

Eleven shall, at its own expense and discretion, Handle Non-Prosecution Patent Rights, except with respect to the Non-Prosecution Patent Rights listed in Appendix 13.2 (the “Select Non-Prosecution Patent Rights”), (i) Eleven will not claim any Eleven Compounds per se in the Select Non-Prosecution Patent Rights without the consent of Roche and (ii) Eleven will timely consult with Roche (unless Roche waives such right in writing) on the Handling of the Select Non-Prosecution Patent Rights so as to provide Roche with an opportunity to recommend any changes (which changes Eleven may not unreasonably refuse) that Roche reasonably believes are necessary to avoid damage to the Core Patent Rights listed in the Appendix 1.30 table headed “Improved IL-6 Antibodies” and patents and patent applications claiming priority from such Patent Right and any substitution, extension or supplementary protection certificate, reissue, reexamination, renewal, divisional, continuation or continuation-in-part of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that Eleven may abandon any Select Non-Prosecution Patent Right without consultation with or consent of Roche.

13.3

Patent Coordination Liaison

Where the Parties need to consult with or seek the assistance of each other on the Handling of Patent Rights, the Parties shall each nominate a patent liaison and shall adopt procedures for interacting on patent matters. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist each other to effect the transfer of responsibility for such Handling of Patent Rights, and shall reasonably assist the other Party in such Handling where needed, including the execution of necessary authorizations and assignments and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested in the Handling of such Patent Rights.

13.4

Infringement

Each Party shall promptly provide written notice to the other Party during the Agreement Term of any

(i)	known infringement or suspected infringement by a Roche Group Third Party of any Valid Claim of the Primary Eleven Patent Rights through the unauthorized manufacture, use, sale or importation of a Licensed Compound or Licensed Product, or

- 31 -

(ii)	known or suspected unauthorized use or misappropriation by a Roche Group Third Party of any Eleven Know-How in the unauthorized manufacture, use, sale or importation of a Licensed Compound or Licensed Product by such Roche Group Third Party,

and shall provide the other Party with all factual evidence in its possession supporting such infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation.

Within sixty (60) days after Roche provides or receives such written notice or such shorter period of time as is reasonably necessary for Eleven to avoid loss of material enforcement rights or remedies (unless such shorter period is not possible under the circumstances) (“Decision Period”), Roche, in its sole discretion, shall decide whether or not to initiate a suit or action in the Territory regarding such infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation and shall notify Eleven of its decision in writing (“Suit Notice”).

If Roche decides to bring a suit or take action, once Roche provides Suit Notice, Roche shall commence such suit or take such action. In the event that Roche (i) does not in writing advise Eleven within the Decision Period that Roche will commence suit or take action, or (ii) fails to commence suit or take action within a reasonable time after providing Suit Notice, Eleven shall thereafter have the right (subject to Roche’s written consent, which except for Eleven Assigned Patent Rights is not to be unreasonably withheld) to commence suit or take action and shall provide written notice to Roche of any such suit commenced or action taken by Eleven.

Upon written request, the Party bringing suit or taking action (“Initiating Party”) shall keep the other Party informed of the status of any such suit or action and shall provide the other Party with copies, to the extent the Initiating Party is lawfully permitted to do so, of all substantive documents or communications filed in such suit or action. The Initiating Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any such suit or action.

The Initiating Party shall, except as provided below, pay all expenses of the suit or action, including the Initiating Party’s attorneys’ fees and court costs (and such costs of the other Party if participating at the Initiating Party’s request). Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, and subject to the Parties’ respective obligations under Article 15, all monies recovered upon the final judgment or settlement of any action described in this Section 13.4 shall be used as follows:

(a) First, to reimburse the Initiating Party for its costs and, if any remains, to the other Party for any advisory counsel fees and costs not already reimbursed by the Initiating Party; and

(b) Second,

(i)

if a member of the Roche Group is the Initiating Party,

(A)

any remaining amount that represents compensation for lost sales, a reasonable royalty or lost profits, shall be retained by or paid to the Initiating Party; provided, however, any such amount (after relevant adjustment to convert to Net Sales of Products) shall be subject to the royalty obligations set forth in Section 9.3; and

(B)

any remaining amount that represents additional damages (e.g., enhanced or punitive damages) shall be allocated to Roche; and

(ii)

if Eleven is the Initiating Party, the balance, if any, shall be allocated seventy five percent (75%) to the Initiating Party, and twenty five percent (25%) to the other Party.

If the Initiating Party believes it is reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain an effective remedy, upon written request the other Party agrees to be joined as a party to the suit or action but shall be under no obligation to participate except to the extent that such participation is required as the

result of its being a named party to the suit or action, all of which shall be at the Initiating Party’s expense. At the Initiating Party’s written request, the other Party shall offer reasonable assistance to the Initiating Party in connection therewith at no charge to the Initiating Party except for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the other Party in rendering such assistance. The other Party shall have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit or action by its own counsel at its own expense.

The Initiating Party may settle, consent to judgment or otherwise voluntarily dispose of the suit or action (“Settlement”) without the written consent of the other Party but only if such Settlement can be achieved without adversely affecting the other Party (including any of its Patent Rights). If a Settlement could materially adversely affect the other Party, then the written consent of the other Party would be required, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, however if the other Party is unable to timely respond, then such consent shall be deemed as granted.

For clarity, Roche shall be solely responsible, at its own expense and discretion, for responding to the infringement of any Eleven Assigned Patent Rights, and will receive all monies recovered upon the final judgment or settlement of any action taken by Roche in connection therewith. If a Settlement could materially adversely affect Eleven, then the written consent of Eleven would be required, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, however if Eleven is unable to timely respond, then such consent shall be deemed as granted. Eleven will reasonably assist Roche in any such actions, at Roche’s expense.

13.5

Defense

Subject to Article 15, if an action for infringement is commenced against either Party, its licensees or its sublicensees related to the discovery, development, manufacture, use or sale of a Product, then Roche shall have the right (but not the obligation) to defend such action at its own expense, and Eleven shall assist and cooperate with Roche, at Roche’s expense, to the extent necessary in the defense of such suit. Roche shall have the right to settle the suit or consent to an adverse judgment thereto, in its sole discretion, so long as such settlement or adverse judgment does not adversely affect the rights of Eleven. Roche shall assume full responsibility for the payment of any award for damages, or any amount due pursuant to any settlement entered into by it with such Third Party.

13.6

Common Interest Disclosures

With regard to any information or opinions about intellectual property disclosed pursuant to this Agreement between the Parties, the Parties agree that, to the extent possible under Applicable Law, they have a common legal interest in (i) determining whether, and to what extent, Third Party intellectual property rights may affect Compounds or Products and (ii) defending against any actual or prospective Third Party claims based on allegations of misuse or infringement of intellectual property rights relating to Compounds or Products. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, to the extent possible under Applicable Law, (i) all such relevant information or opinions obtained by Eleven and Roche from each other will be used solely for purposes of the Parties’ common legal interests with respect to the conduct of the Agreement; (ii) all such information and materials will be treated as protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work product privilege, the joint defense privilege, the common interest privilege, and any other privilege or immunity that may otherwise be applicable; (iii) by sharing any such information and materials, neither Party intends to waive or limit any privilege or immunity that may apply to the shared information and materials. Nothing in this Section 13.6 shall prevent either Roche or Eleven from claiming a common interest privilege in any

- 33 -

other matter properly subject to that privilege. Neither Party shall have the authority to waive any privilege or immunity on behalf of the other Party without such other Party’s prior written consent, nor shall the waiver of privilege or immunity resulting from the conduct of one Party be deemed to apply against any other Party.

It is expressly understood that nothing contained in this Section 13.6 shall limit the right of either Party to disclose to anyone (or withhold disclosure from anyone) any of their own documents and information, as they see fit.

13.7

Biosimilar or interchangeable biological products

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, within four (4) years after the approval of a Product that has been licensed in the US as a biological product under 42 USC §262(a), and as may be needed from time to time thereafter, upon request by Roche, the Parties shall consult as to potential strategies with respect to unexpired US Primary Eleven Patent Rights Controlled by Eleven that Cover the Product. Specifically, in anticipation of a receipt by the Product’s reference product sponsor (“Reference Product Sponsor”) of a biosimilar or interchangeable product application pursuant to the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-148), the Parties will discuss the Reference Product Sponsor’s likely course of action with regard to US Primary Eleven Patent Rights in the procedural steps set forth under 42 USC §262(l), including a general plan for timely communication between the Parties in light of the statutory response deadlines.

13.8

Patent Term Extensions

The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain all available patent term extensions, adjustments or restorations, or supplementary protection certificates (“SPCs”, and together with patent term extensions, adjustments and restorations, “Patent Term Extensions”) for Primary Eleven Patent Rights. Eleven shall execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Roche to obtain such Patent Term Extensions, including designating Roche as its agent for such purpose as provided in 35 USC § 156. All filings for such Patent Term Extensions shall be made by Roche; provided, that in the event that Roche elects not to file for a Patent Term Extension for a Primary Eleven Patent Right, Roche shall (i) promptly inform Eleven of its intention not to file and (ii) grant Eleven the right to file for such Patent Term Extension. Each Party shall execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain such extensions. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in gaining patent term restorations, extensions or SPCs wherever applicable to such Primary Eleven Patent Rights.

13.9

Consent to File Patent Applications

Eleven hereby provides consent under Section 4(f) of the Material Transfer Agreement by and between the Parties effective November 18, 2015, as amended (the “MTA”).

Indemnification

15.1

Indemnification by Roche

Roche shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Eleven and its directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, “Eleven Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, expenses, cost of defense (including without limitation attorneys’ fees, witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) and any amounts Eleven becomes legally obligated to pay, because of a claim by a Roche Group Third Party, to the extent resulting from the breach of the Agreement by Roche or activities related to the Licensed Product (e.g., product liability claims) conducted by or on behalf of a member of the Roche Group (other than by Eleven Indemnitees), except to the extent such losses, expenses, costs and amounts are due to the breach of the Agreement by Eleven or the gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to act of Eleven Indemnitees.

15.2

Indemnification by Eleven

Eleven shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Roche and its directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, “Roche Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, expenses, cost of defense (including without limitation attorneys’ fees, witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) and any amounts Roche becomes legally obligated to pay, because of a claim by a Roche Group Third Party, to the extent resulting from the breach of the Agreement by Eleven or activities related to the Licensed Product (e.g., product liability claims) conducted by or on behalf of Eleven (other than by Roche Indemnitees or any member of the Roche Group), except to the extent such losses, expenses, costs and amounts are due to the breach of the Agreement by Roche or the gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to act of Roche Indemnitees or any member of the Roche Group.

The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and may, at its option and expense,

- 37 -

be represented in any such action or proceeding by counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any litigation costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent.

16.2

Coordination

Roche Basel and Roche US shall coordinate the exercise of Roche’s rights under this Agreement. Roche Basel and Roche US shall be jointly and severally liable for Roche’s obligations under this Agreement.

17.

Obligation Not to Disclose Confidential Information

17.1

Non-Use and Non-Disclosure

During the Agreement Term and for five (5) years thereafter, a Receiving Party shall (and shall require its Affiliates to) (i) treat Confidential Information provided by Disclosing Party as it would treat its own information of a similar nature, (ii) take all reasonable precautions not to disclose such Confidential Information to Third Parties, without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, and (iii) not use such Confidential Information other than for fulfilling its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement.

17.2

Permitted Disclosure

Notwithstanding the obligation of non-use and non-disclosure set forth in Section 17.1, the Parties recognize the need for certain exceptions to this obligation, specifically set forth below, with respect to press releases, patent rights, publications, and certain commercial considerations.

17.3

Press Releases

(a)	The Parties may issue solely or jointly the press releases announcing the existence and selected key terms of this Agreement, in a form substantially similar to the templates attached as Appendix 17.3.

- 38 -

(b)

Eleven shall only issue other press releases related to the activities contemplated by this Agreement that either (i) have been approved by Roche or (ii) are required to be issued by Eleven as a matter of law based on advice of legal counsel. In all such circumstances, Eleven shall provide Roche with a draft press release at least two (2) weeks prior to its intended publication for Roche’s review. During such period, Roche shall (i) approve the draft press release and permit Eleven to issue the press release, (ii) contact Eleven to discuss modification to the draft press release, or (iii) contact Eleven and disapprove the press release. If Roche asks for modification, then Eleven shall either make such modification or work with Roche to arrive at a press release that Roche approves.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, Eleven may issue press releases or announcements, make filings or submissions or otherwise publicly disclose information regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Roche to the extent required by Applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange or regulatory governmental body to which it is subject to or submits to, including any disclosures contained in proxy or other similar materials issued in connection with the Stockholder Voting Proposal; provided, however, the issuance by Eleven of any such press release without following the procedures of Section 17.3(b) must be based on advice of legal counsel that the release was required to be issued by Eleven as a matter of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in all such cases Eleven shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide Roche an advance draft press release, announcement, filing or submission as applicable as soon as reasonably practicable and consider in good faith Roche’s reasonable and timely comments prior to publicly issuing its final version.

(d)

To the extent the content of any press release or other announcement has been made in accordance with this Section 17.3 or with Section 17.4, no separate approval shall be required in respect of such content to the extent replicated in whole or in part in any subsequent press release or other announcement.

(e)

To ensure communication alignment, responses (if any) to inquiries by media or other Third Parties (other than inquiries by any governmental authority, body, agency or other instrumentality) after issuance of a permitted press release by Eleven (solely or jointly with Roche) shall consist solely of the press release language or shall follow the response guidelines that may be mutually developed by the Parties.

17.4

Commercial Considerations

(a)

After the Effective Date, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Roche or its Affiliates from disclosing Confidential Information of Eleven to (i) governmental agencies to the extent required or desirable to secure government approval for the development, manufacture or sale of Product in the Territory, (ii) Third Parties acting on behalf of Roche, to the extent reasonably necessary for the development, manufacture or sale of Product in the Territory, or (iii) Third Parties to the extent reasonably necessary to market the Product in the Territory.

(b)	Either Party may disclose this Agreement to actual or potential licensees, sublicensees, acquirers or investors under terms of confidentiality no less stringent than in this Agreement.

- 39 -

(c)

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent that such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by the Receiving Party to comply with Applicable Law, to defend or prosecute litigation or to comply with governmental regulations, provided that the Receiving Party provides prior written notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party, if possible, and, to the extent practicable, takes reasonable and lawful actions to minimize the degree of such disclosure.

(d)

The Parties acknowledge that either or both Parties may be obligated to make one or more filings (including to file a copy of this Agreement) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (or equivalent foreign agency) or a governmental authority. Each Party will be entitled to make such a required filing, provided that it will (i) submit in connection with such filing a copy of this Agreement in a form mutually agreed by the Parties in advance or, if despite the commercially reasonable efforts of Eleven a form mutually agreed by the Parties cannot be agreed in advance, redacted to the extent permitted by Applicable Law (the “Redacted Agreement”), (ii) request, and use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with Applicable Laws to obtain, confidential treatment of all terms redacted from this Agreement, as reflected in the Redacted Agreement, for a period of at least ten (10) years, (iii) to the extent consistent with Applicable Law, promptly deliver to the other Party any written correspondence received by it or its representatives from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (or equivalent foreign agency) or a governmental authority with respect to such confidential treatment request and promptly advise the other Party of any other material communications between it or its representatives with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (or equivalent foreign agency) or a governmental authority with respect to such confidential treatment request, (iv) upon the written request of the other Party, if legally justifiable, request an appropriate extension of the term of the confidential treatment period, and (v) if the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (or equivalent foreign agency) or a governmental authority requests any changes to the redactions set forth in the Redacted Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with Applicable Laws to support the redactions in the Redacted Agreement as originally filed and not agree to any changes to the Redacted Agreement without, to the extent practical, first discussing such changes with the other Party and taking the other Party’s comments into consideration when deciding whether to agree to such changes (provided that a Party will only be required to make such efforts to support such redactions once). For clarity, following a request from a governmental authority to change the redactions requested by a Party, a Party will not be required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17.4(d) to again request the redactions rejected by the applicable governmental authority. Each Party will be responsible for its own legal and other external costs in connection with any such filing, registration or notification.

18.

Termination

18.2.1 Termination for Material Breach After the Effective Date

After the Effective Date, a Party (“Non-Breaching Party”) shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety or on a country-by-country basis in the event the other Party (“Breaching Party”) is in breach of any of its material obligations under this Agreement.

The Breaching Party shall have a period of ninety (90) days after such written notice is provided (“Peremptory Notice Period”) to cure such breach. If the Breaching Party has a bona fide dispute as to whether such breach occurred or has been cured, it will so notify the Non-Breaching Party, and the expiration of the Peremptory Notice Period shall be tolled until such dispute is resolved pursuant to Sections 21.2 or 21.3. Upon a determination of breach or failure to cure, the Breaching Party may have the remainder of the Peremptory Notice Period to cure such breach. If such breach is not cured within the Peremptory Notice Period, then absent withdrawal of the Non-Breaching Party’s request for termination, this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety or such identified countries effective as of the expiration of the Peremptory Notice Period.

The effective date of termination under this Section 18.2.2 shall be the date ninety (90) days (or one hundred eighty (180) days as the case may be) after Roche provides such written notice to Eleven.

18.2.3 Termination by Eleven for Development Discontinuation After the Effective Date

After the Effective Date, Eleven shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice if, prior to the first BLA Filing for a Licensed Product, the Roche Group has discontinued material development of all Licensed Products for the previous twelve (12) consecutive months, and such discontinuations were not due to events outside of the reasonable control of the Roche Group (including actions taken by Regulatory Authorities, or any Third Party litigation relating to the safety of a Licensed Product).

18.2.4 Termination for Eleven Debarment

After the Effective Date, Roche shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice for Eleven’s debarment in accordance with Section 21.5.

18.2.5 Termination by a Party Prior to the Effective Date

- 41 -

(b)

Prior to the Effective Date, if, at the Company Meeting at which a vote on the Stockholder Voting Proposal is taken, the Required Company Stockholder Vote in favor of the Stockholder Voting Proposal is not obtained, this Agreement shall automatically terminate as of the date of such Company Meeting at which such vote on the Stockholder Voting Proposal was taken.

(d)	Prior to the Effective Date, either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice if the Board of Directors of Eleven shall have approved or recommended to the stockholders any Alternative Transaction from a Qualified Person.

18.3

Consequences of Termination

This Section 18.3 only applies to termination under Section 18.2.1-18.2.4.

18.3.1 Termination for Eleven Breach or Debarment

Upon any termination by Roche under Section 18.2.1 (material breach by Eleven) or 18.2.4 (Eleven debarment), the rights and licenses granted by Eleven to Roche under this Agreement shall terminate in their entirety or on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, as applicable, on the effective date of termination. In the event of a material breach by Eleven or Eleven’s debarment, if the Roche Group elects not to terminate this Agreement, Roche shall be entitled to seek remedies, including but not limited to damages and reduction of payment obligations in Article 9, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

18.3.2 Roche Activated Termination

Upon any Roche Activated Termination, the rights and licenses granted by Eleven to Roche under this Agreement shall terminate in their entirety or on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, as applicable, on the effective date of termination. The Continuation Election Evaluation Process corresponding to an Involuntary Termination shall begin on the effective date of termination; the Continuation Election Evaluation Process corresponding to a Voluntary Termination shall begin on the date Roche provides its notice of termination to Eleven (each such date, a “CEEP Start Date”).

During the Continuation Election Evaluation Process, Roche shall continue activities, including preparatory activities, ongoing as of the CEEP Start Date with respect to the relevant Returnable Product(s). However, Roche shall not be obliged to initiate any new activities not ongoing as of the CEEP Start Date except as expressly set forth herein and except that Roche shall initiate such new activities at Eleven’s reasonable written request and expense. Where possible the Alliance Directors will cooperate with each other to facilitate meeting Eleven’s reasonable requests for information and continuation of activities reasonably needed for Eleven’s bona fide intention to continue development of the Returnable Product(s) while minimizing Roche’s investment in labor and expenses during the Continuation Election Evaluation Process.

Within ten (10) days after the CEEP Start Date, Roche shall have the opportunity (but not the obligation) to provide Eleven with either such information as Roche would like Eleven to consider or a notification waiving the right to provide such information. Within twenty (20) days after the CEEP Start Date, Eleven shall communicate to Roche either (x) a non-binding statement of continued

- 42 -

interest in developing the specified Returnable Product(s) or (y) a binding waiver of Eleven’s right to submit a Continuation Election Notice. If Eleven elects to communicate the latter or fails to communicate with Roche, then Eleven shall have been deemed to have not provided a timely Continuation Election Notice and Section 18.3.4.1 shall apply. If Eleven elects to communicate the former, Roche shall promptly populate a secure data room with such material information pertaining to the applicable Roche Group’s development, manufacturing and commercialization activities for such Returnable Product(s) as is reasonably necessary for Eleven to make an informed decision as to whether to submit a Continuation Election Notice, which data room shall be fully populated and opened for Eleven’s access no later than thirty (30) days after Eleven’s communication of a non-binding indication of interest under clause (x) above. Roche shall make the relevant personnel available for Eleven’s reasonable follow-up questions and requests pertaining to such information, and Roche shall disclose such additional materials as are reasonably necessary to respond to Eleven’s requests. Notwithstanding anything in this Section, such data room and personnel follow-up is not intended to provide Eleven with a similar scope of information or follow-up as would be required and commensurate with types of investment and diligence commitment Roche has made to Eleven under this Agreement, nor is it a substitute for Roche Transfer Activities that are reimbursed in accordance with Section 18.3.4.3(d); rather it is intended to be a process to minimize Roche’s continuation activity costs where not required; provided, however, that the data provided in the data room must be adequate for Eleven to make a reasonably informed decision regarding the Continuation Election Notice. If Eleven desires to continue development or commercialization of Returnable Product(s), Eleven shall give a Continuation Election Notice to Roche within forty (40) days after the data room is reasonably populated and open for Eleven’s access; if during such forty (40) day period, Eleven does not have a bona fide interest in pursuing development, Eleven shall promptly notify Roche.

After Roche’s receipt of a timely Continuation Election Notice from Eleven, to the extent reasonably requested by Eleven with respect to the Returnable Product(s) specified in such Continuation Election Notice:

Roche shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall, (and, to the extent Roche or any of its Affiliates has the right to do so and to the extent such sublicensees do not take a direct license in accordance with Section 18.3.3, shall require the other members of the Roche Group to,) promptly transfer to Eleven all regulatory filings and approvals, all final pre-clinical and clinical study reports and clinical study protocols, and all data, including clinical data, in their possession and control related to Returnable Product(s) necessary for Eleven to continue to develop and commercialize the Returnable Product(s). All data shall be transferred in the form and format in which it is maintained by the relevant member of the Roche Group. Original paper copies shall only be transferred, if legally required. Roche shall not be required to prepare or finalize any new data, reports or information solely for purposes of transfer to Eleven.

Roche shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall, (and, to the extent Roche or any of its Affiliates has the right to do so and to the extent such sublicensees do not take a direct license in accordance with Section 18.3.3, shall require the other members of the Roche Group to,) make reasonable efforts to promptly assign all clinical trial agreements, to the extent such agreements have not been cancelled, are assignable without subjecting Roche to any material liability and are assignable without Roche paying any consideration (unless Eleven agrees to pay such consideration) or commencing litigation in order to effect an assignment of any such agreement.

Eleven shall, upon such transfer, have the right to disclose such filings, approvals and data to (i) governmental agencies of the country to the extent required or desirable to secure government approval for the development, manufacture or sale of Returnable Product(s) in the country; (ii) Third Parties acting on behalf of Eleven, its Affiliates or licensees, to the extent reasonably necessary solely for the development, manufacture, or sale of Returnable Product(s) in the country, or (iii) Third Parties to the extent reasonably necessary to market Returnable Product(s) in the country.

In exchange for Roche’s transfer of such items that were not originally provided from Eleven to Roche under this Agreement (i.e., created or developed by or on behalf of Roche), Eleven shall pay Roche a royalty on all net sales (as determined by reasonable accounting methods) of such Returnable Product(s) by Eleven, its Affiliates or licensees or sublicensees to which Eleven has licensed or sublicensed rights other than through a Compulsory Sublicense, mutatis mutandis, for such Returnable Product(s) (other than licensees that have a direct license in accordance with Section 18.3.3), with the royalty rate as follows:


Status of Returnable Product at time of termination		Royalty rate
Phase II Study Initiated		2%
Phase III Study Initiated		5%
First Commercial Sale in US or anywhere in the EU		10%

Such royalties shall be paid on a Returnable Product-by-Returnable Product and country-by-country basis commencing on the first commercial sale of the Returnable Product in such country by Eleven, or any of its Affiliates or any of such of its licensees or sublicensees (other than an entity that is or was a member of the Roche Group) and ending ten (10) years after the first commercial sale of the Returnable Product in such country by any entity (including a member of the Roche Group). Royalties may be reduced upon entry of a biosimilar product in accordance with the reduction structure set forth in Section 9.3.5, and with respect to any other reductions described in Sections 9.3.3, 9.3.4 and 9.3.6, as if applied to Eleven, its Affiliates and licensees or sublicensees in lieu of the Roche Group. Such payments shall be subject to the reporting and auditing obligations comparable to those set forth in this Agreement, except with Eleven as the licensee instead of Roche.

In connection with such transfer, and in all cases subject to Section 18.3.4.3, Eleven shall have a non-exclusive license, sublicensable through multiple tiers, under the Roche Patent Rights and Roche Know-How, solely to the extent necessary to allow Eleven, its Affiliates or licensees or sublicensees to register, have registered, develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use, offer to sell, sell, promote, export and import the Base Returnable Product associated with each applicable Returnable Product specified in such Continuation Election Notice and all associated applicable Modified Returnable Product(s) for such Base Returnable Product in the applicable country(ies), with the proviso that

(i)

with respect to Early Returnable Products, unless Roche specifically agrees to the contrary, such license shall not extend to Proprietary Manufacturing IP for Early Returnable Products;

(ii)

with respect to Returnable Products other than Early Returnable Products, such license does not apply to Proprietary Manufacturing IP for so long as Roche elects to manufacture and supply such Returnable Product under Section 18.3.4.2(c), and if Roche transfers the process to one or more Third Party CMOs acceptable to Roche under conditions of

- 44 -

confidentiality and non-use acceptable to Roche in accordance with Section 18.3.4.2(c), such license of Proprietary Manufacturing IP shall not extend to Eleven and will instead be limited to such Third Party CMO(s) for the sole purpose of manufacturing such Returnable Products on behalf of Eleven, Eleven’s Affiliates or Eleven’s licenses or sublicensees.

Eleven shall ensure that all of the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to its Affiliates and licensees and sublicensees to the same extent as they apply to Eleven for all purposes, and Eleven assumes full responsibility for the performance of all obligations and observances of all terms so imposed on such Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees. Eleven shall provide Roche a copy of any such agreements with licensees and sublicensees which may be redacted to exclude financial terms and confidential information of Eleven or the licensee or sublicensee. For clarity, the licenses under this Section 18.3.2(e) shall not include any licenses that Roche has with a Third Party for which such grant would be prohibited or under which a member of the Roche Group would incur liability or financial obligations (unless Eleven agrees to pay such financial obligations) to such Third Party.

If requested by Eleven in writing, and solely to the extent Roche is able to do so truthfully, Roche will represent and warrant to Eleven that, as of the effective date of the termination, Roche and its Affiliates have not been debarred under 21 U.S.C. §335a, disqualified under 21 C.F.R. §312.70 or §812.119, sanctioned by a Federal Health Care Program (as defined in 42 U.S.C. §1320 a-7b(f)), including without limitation the federal Medicare or a state Medicaid program, or debarred, suspended, excluded or otherwise declared ineligible from any other similar Federal or state agency or program in a manner that would materially impact the Returnable Products.

18.3.3 Direct License

Irrespective of anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any existing, permitted sublicense granted directly by Roche under Section 2.3.2 of this Agreement (and any further sublicenses thereunder) to any Third Party shall, upon the written request of Roche, remain in full force and effect to the extent that Roche had complied with its obligations under Section 2.3.2 with respect thereto, provided that (i) each such Sublicensee and any further sublicensees are not then in breach of its sublicense agreement (and, in the case of termination by Eleven for material breach by Roche, that neither such Sublicensee nor any further sublicensees caused the material breach that gave rise to the termination by Eleven); (ii) each such direct Sublicensee agrees to be bound to Eleven under all the terms and conditions of such sublicense agreement; and (iii) Eleven is provided with a true and complete copy of such sublicense agreement.

18.3.4 Other Obligations Applicable for Roche Activated Terminations

18.3.4.1 Obligations Related to Ongoing Activities

(a)

If Eleven does not provide timely a Continuation Election Notice, then Roche (i) shall have the right to cancel all ongoing obligations with Third Parties with respect to any terminated Returnable Product under this Agreement and (ii) shall be permitted to complete, and be solely responsibility for, all non-cancellable obligations with Third Parties with respect to any terminated Returnable Product, but only at its own expense.

(b)	If Eleven provides such timely Continuation Election Notice, then from the date of notice of termination until (i) the effective date of termination (in the event of a Voluntary Termination) and (ii) four (4) months after the effective date of termination (in the event of an Involuntary

- 45 -

Termination), Roche shall continue activities, including preparatory activities, ongoing as of the date of notice of termination with respect to the relevant Returnable Products, at Roche’s expense. However, Roche shall not be obliged to initiate any new activities not ongoing at the date of notice of termination except as expressly set forth herein.

(c)	After the effective date of termination, Roche shall have no obligation to perform or complete any activities or to make any payments for performing or completing any activities under this Agreement, except as expressly stated herein.

In addition to the foregoing, upon the request of Eleven, Roche shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall, and, to the extent Roche or any of its Affiliates has the right to do so, shall require the other members of the Roche Group to, complete, or promptly transition to Eleven or its designee, any Clinical Studies related to the Returnable Product(s) that are being conducted under any of their INDs for the Returnable Product(s) and are ongoing as of the effective date of termination; provided, however, that

(i)	both Eleven and Roche in their reasonable judgment have concluded that completing any such Clinical Studies does not present an unreasonable risk to patient safety;

(ii)	Roche shall have no obligation to recruit or enroll any additional patients after the effective date of termination; and

(iii)

Subject to Section 18.3.4.1(b), Eleven agrees to reimburse Roche for all of its reasonable development costs that arise after the effective date of termination in completing or transitioning such Clinical Studies.

18.3.4.2 Obligations Related to Manufacturing

a)	Clinical Supplies

If Eleven elects to develop the Returnable Product(s), Roche shall, at Eleven’s request, transfer (i) all existing and available clinical material to Eleven at a price of Roche’s fully burdened manufacturing cost and (ii) as part of the Roche Transfer Activities of Section 18.3.2, all existing documentation as to the quality of such clinical material that is reasonably required for further development activities. Roche shall have no obligation to perform any additional activities concerning the clinical supplies (e.g., retesting, analyses). Upon request, Roche shall notify Eleven of any issues concerning such materials that to Roche’s knowledge might reasonably subject Eleven to liability through use of such materials, and Eleven may thereafter elect not to receive such materials. Eleven shall assume all liability for the use of such transferred material.

b)	Commercial Supplies

If a Returnable Product is marketed in any country of Territory on the date of the notice of termination of this Agreement, upon the request of Eleven, Roche shall manufacture and supply such Returnable Product to Eleven for a period of eighteen (18) months from the effective date of the termination of this Agreement (unless such obligation is earlier terminated by Eleven) at a price of one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of Roche’s fully burdened manufacturing cost. Eleven shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take over the manufacturing as soon as possible after the effective date of termination.

c)	Option of Roche

Irrespective of the foregoing, Roche shall not be required to provide Proprietary Manufacturing IP with respect to Early Returnable Products. Roche will continue to supply Eleven with Returnable Products other than Early Returnable Products at a price of one hundred twenty-five

- 46 -

percent (125%) of Roche’s fully burdened manufacturing cost for a period, at Roche’s election, of either (i) indefinitely (in which case the Parties will promptly and in good faith negotiate the non-financial terms of applicable supply and quality agreements, and Roche shall make good faith efforts to supply Eleven with such Returnable Products during such negotiation period) or (ii) until such time as Roche transfers the process to a Third Party CMO acceptable to Roche under conditions of confidentiality and non-use acceptable to Roche. If Roche elects to transfer the process to a Third Party CMO and Eleven requests an additional CMO be utilized (for reasons such as second source manufacturing, competitive pricing), Roche will make good faith efforts to accommodate such request and transfer the process to a second Third Party CMO acceptable to Roche under conditions of confidentiality and non-use acceptable to Roche.

18.3.4.3 Limitations on Grant-Backs; Transfer Expenses

For purposes of clarity, irrespective of anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

a)	All transfers and licenses from Roche to Eleven or other obligations of Roche under Section 18.3 are solely with respect to Returnable Product(s) that are not Combination Product(s). Such transfers, licenses and obligations do not extend to

(i)

other therapeutically active ingredients or therapeutically active products, even if physically mixed, combined or packaged together with a Returnable Product, or

(ii)

with respect to Pre-Commercialized Returnable Products, delivery technologies that are proprietary to Roche (through ownership or license) (with the proviso that if Eleven would be unable to use any alternative delivery technology to commercialize such Pre-Commercialized Returnable Product, Roche will in good faith consider making such delivery technologies available to Eleven),

even if a Returnable Product is intended (according to the investigation plan, proposed labeling or actual labeling, as applicable) for use with such other therapeutically active ingredients, therapeutically active products, or delivery technologies.

In connection with research studies, clinical trials or other activities associated with the development and commercialization of Returnable Products, Roche or other members of the Roche Group may have collected human samples and patient information that may contain personal identifiable information (“Samples and PI Information”). Legal and contractual restrictions may apply to such Samples and PI Information. Eleven acknowledges and accepts that, where Roche in good faith has reasonable concerns that Applicable Law or insufficient patient consent would prohibit the transfer of such Samples and PI Information or subject Roche to liability because of such transfer and subsequent use by Eleven, then Roche shall not be obliged to transfer such Samples and PI Information to Eleven.

c)	Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting Eleven any license under the Excluded Roche Patent Rights.

If Eleven issues a Continuation Election Notice, then Eleven shall reimburse Roche for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including FTE charges) incurred by or on behalf of Roche for transfer activities from Roche to Eleven under Section 18.3.2 (including costs associated with locating, assembling and populating information into the data room) (“Roche Transfer Activities”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice, with an invoice to be provided no more than once per Calendar Quarter; however transfer activities corresponding to the return of material remains, data, reports, records, documents, regulatory filings and

- 47 -

Regulatory Approvals originally provided by Eleven to Roche no less than three (3) years prior to the effective date of termination (“Eleven-Originated Transfer Activities”) shall be returned to Eleven free of charge. If the Agreement was terminated due to a Voluntary Termination and Eleven desires Roche Transfer Activities other than Eleven-Originated Transfer Activities, Eleven shall make a payment to Roche of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand US Dollars (US$ 250,000) (“Minimum Transfer Payment”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice. The Minimum Transfer Payment shall be non-refundable, but shall be fully creditable against Eleven’s reimbursement for the Roche Transfer Activities and payments under Section 18.3.2(d). Roche shall be under no obligation to provide Roche Transfer Activities (beyond the Eleven-Originated Transfer Activities) prior to receipt of the Minimum Transfer Payment, if applicable.

18.4

Royalty and Payment Obligations

Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not release Roche from any obligation to pay royalties or make any payments to Eleven that are earned but not yet paid prior to the Expiration Date or effective date of termination, including milestone payments on events, and royalties on Sales, that occur prior to the Expiration Date or effective date of termination. Expiration of this Agreement as a result of Roche exercising a Buy-out Option shall not release Roche from the obligation to pay the fee associated with such Buy-out Option under Section 9.4. Except as set forth in this Section 18.4, termination of this Agreement by a Party, for any reason, will release Roche from any obligation to pay royalties or make any payments to Eleven under Sections 9.2 or 9.3 that would otherwise become payable on or after the effective date of termination (including, for clarity, any milestone payments on events, or royalties on Sales, that occur after the effective date of termination, but not prior to the effective date of termination).

18.5

Survival

To the extent then in effect as set forth in Section 18.1, Article 1 (Definitions, to the extent necessary to interpret this Agreement), Section 9.5 (Disclosure of Payments), Article 10 (Accounting and Reporting) (solely as applicable to amounts described in Section 18.4), Article 12 (Auditing), Section 14.3 (No Other Representations), Article 15 (Indemnification), Article 16 (Liability), Article 17 (Obligation Not to Disclose Confidential Information), Article 18 (Agreement Expiration and Termination) and Article 21 (Miscellaneous) (except for Sections 21.4(a)-(c) (Assignment and Change of Control)) shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. If Roche exercises a Buy-out Option, Section 9.4 (Buy-out Options), Article 13 (Intellectual Property) and Article 20 (Bankruptcy) shall also survive.

19.

Solicitation

Except as otherwise set forth in Article 17 and in this Article 19, until the earlier of the Effective Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 18.2.5, Eleven shall not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys or other agents or advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly:

(a)	solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Third Party for an Alternative Transaction;

(b)

enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any non-public information relating to the IL-6 program to, or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the IL-6 program to, any Third Party that, to Eleven’s knowledge, is seeking to make, or has made, any proposal or offer for an Alternative Transaction, in each case relating to or in connection with an Alternative Transaction; or

- 48 -

(c)	enter into any agreement with any person or entity (other than Roche) for an Alternative Transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Eleven may: (i) furnish non-public information relating to, and afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of, the IL-6 program to any Qualified Person (and the Representatives of any such Qualified Person), pursuant to a confidentiality agreement not materially less restrictive of the other party than the confidentiality obligations applicable to Roche pursuant to the NDA; (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations (including solicitation of revised proposals with respect to an Alternative Transaction) with any Qualified Person (and the representatives of such Qualified Person) with respect to a potential Alternative Transaction; (iii) amend or grant a waiver or release under, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any capital stock of Eleven with any Qualified Person; or (iv) enter into an agreement with a Qualified Person with respect to an Alternative Transaction.

20.

Bankruptcy

All licenses (and to the extent applicable rights) granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Eleven to Roche are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11, US Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. Unless Roche elects to terminate this Agreement, the Parties agree that Roche, as a licensee or sublicensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the continued performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

21.

Miscellaneous

21.1

Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, US, without reference to its conflict of laws principles.

21.2

Disputes

After the Effective Date, unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, in the event of any dispute in connection with this Agreement, such dispute shall be referred to the respective executive officers of the Parties designated below or the Party’s designee, for good faith negotiations attempting to resolve the dispute. The designated executive officers are as follows:

For Eleven: CEO

For Roche: Head of Roche Partnering

21.3

Jurisdiction; Arbitration

Prior to the Effective Date, each of the Parties (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, solely if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, United States District Court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, with respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (d)

- 49 -

agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other court, and each Party hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such legal proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the respective addresses set forth in Section 21.13 shall be effective service of process.

After the Effective Date, should the Parties fail to agree within two (2) months after a dispute in connection with this Agreement has first arisen, it shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of American Arbitration Association (AAA) as in force at the time when initiating the arbitration. The tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. Each Party shall select one (1) arbitrator and the arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be in the city of New York, New York, US. The language to be used shall be English. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Party may seek temporary equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction or any other equitable remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction.

21.4

Assignment and Change of Control

Neither Party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement absent the prior written consent of the other Party, except to any of its Affiliates (provided that the assigning Party shall be responsible for the actions of its Affiliates) or in the context of a merger, an acquisition, a Change of Control, or a sale or other transaction involving all or substantially all of the assets of the Party seeking to assign. Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Eleven may, without Roche’s consent, assign, distribute, dividend or otherwise transfer its right to receive payment(s) from Roche under all or part of Article 9, provided, however, for clarity, Roche’s right to pursue reduction of payments in the event of a material breach by Eleven shall not be impacted by such assignment, distribution, dividend or transfer; moreover this right extends only to the right to receive payment, so all other rights (including the right to audit) shall remain with Eleven absent Roche’s written consent.

If there is a Change of Control, then the following provisions shall apply and be in full force and effect:

(a)	Eleven shall provide written notice to Roche within fifteen (15) days after completion of such Change of Control.

(b)

The acquirer of or the successor to in connection with such Change of Control shall acknowledge in writing to Roche that the Eleven Know-How and the Primary Eleven Patent Rights are subject to the exclusive licenses to Roche for the research, development or commercialization of Compounds or Products, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)

If either Eleven or the Change of Control Group are engaged in the conduct of clinical studies or commercialization of competing ophthalmic products either at the time of the Change of Control or thereafter, then Roche may upon written request require Eleven and the Change of Control Group to institute a firewall to limit access of information and reports provided to Eleven by the Roche Group under Article 8 and Article 13 (collectively “Sensitive Information”) to (1) such Eleven and Change of Control Group personnel, attorneys, agents and advisors that reasonably need access to and knowledge of such Sensitive Information to perform Eleven’s obligations and exercise Eleven’s rights under the Agreement and (2) C-level personnel of Eleven or the Change of Control Group, with the objective to prohibit the use of such Sensitive Information by

- 50 -

Eleven or the Change of Control Group for competitive reasons that would be detrimental to Roche’s interests under the Agreement or Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products without foreclosing the ability of Eleven or the Change of Control Group to perform Eleven’s obligations and exercise Eleven’s rights under the Agreement. For clarity, (i) information about payments made by Roche under this Agreement shall not be deemed as Sensitive Information that is subject to the firewall of this Section 21.4(c), and (ii) the exceptions under Sections 1.21(i)-(v), 17.3 and 17.4 to Eleven’s obligations to protect Roche’s Confidential Information shall also apply to Sensitive Information.

21.5

Debarment

Eleven represents and warrants that, as of the Signature Date, it has never been debarred under 21 U.S.C. §335a, disqualified under 21 C.F.R. §312.70 or §812.119, sanctioned by a Federal Health Care Program (as defined in 42 U.S.C. §1320 a-7b(f)), including without limitation the federal Medicare or a state Medicaid program, or debarred, suspended, excluded or otherwise declared ineligible from any other similar Federal or state agency or program. In the event Eleven receives notice of its debarment, suspension, sanction, exclusion, ineligibility or disqualification under the above-referenced statutes, Eleven shall immediately notify Roche in writing and Roche shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement, effective, at Roche’s option, immediately or at a specified future date.

21.6

Independent Contractor

No employee or representative of either Party shall have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement for any sum or in any manner whatsoever or to create or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party without said Party’s prior written approval. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Party’s legal relationship to the other Party under this Agreement shall be that of independent contractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, agency or fiduciary relationship between the Parties.

21.7

Unenforceable Provisions and Severability

If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held to be void or unenforceable, then such void or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by valid and enforceable provisions that will achieve as far as possible the economic business intentions of the Parties. However the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, provided that the material interests of the Parties are not affected, i.e., the Parties would presumably have concluded this Agreement without the unenforceable provisions.

21.8

Waiver

The failure by either Party to require strict performance or observance of any obligation, term, provision or condition under this Agreement will neither constitute a waiver thereof nor affect in any way the right of the respective Party to require such performance or observance. The waiver by either Party of a breach of any obligation, term, provision or condition hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof or of any other obligation, term, provision or condition.

21.9

Appendices

All Appendices to this Agreement shall form an integral part to this Agreement.

- 51 -

21.10

Entire Understanding

This Agreement, together with the Exclusivity Agreement, the MTA and the Non-Disclosure Agreement by and between Eleven and Roche US effective June, 2015 (the “NDA”), contains the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, whether written or oral. For clarity, after the Effective Date, the treatment of Information related to Technology (as such terms are defined in the NDA) or Eleven’s business or financial information received by Roche or any of its Affiliates from Eleven under the NDA (the “Eleven NDA Information”), and any Confidential Information (as such term is defined in the MTA) of Eleven subject to the MTA (the “Eleven MTA Information”), is superseded by the licenses and treatment of Confidential Information under this Agreement. For clarity, the three-way confidentiality agreements among (i) Eleven, Roche US and Symbiosis, effective January 25, 2016, (ii) Eleven, Roche US and FujiFilm, effective January 25, 2016, and (iii) Eleven, Roche US and BioAgilytix Labs, LLC, effective June 3, 2016, shall remain in effect.

21.11

Amendments
