10.2   By Verastem.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any such claim for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party’s insurer as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, and at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense.

10.5   Limitation of Liability.  NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Licensee shall obligate its Affiliates, Sublicensees and Subcontractors to assign all such jointly-invented Inventions to Licensee (or directly to Verastem) so that Licensee can comply with its obligations under this Section 11.1(d), and Licensee shall promptly obtain such assignment.

(b)       Right to defend.

(i)        Verastem shall have the first right, in its sole discretion, to defend and control, including managing and settling, any Patent Challenge relating to the Verastem Patents in the Territory at its own expense as it determines appropriate, provided that Verastem notifies Licensee of any such legal action reasonably in advance, and reasonably considers Licensee’s comments with respect thereto.

(c)       Cooperation.  At the request of the Party defending a Patent Challenge, the other Party shall, and shall cause its employees to, provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith, including by executing reasonably appropriate documents, cooperating in discovery and joining as a party to the action if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action, at each such Party’s sole cost and expense.

bona fide claim or assertion of infringement in writing of a Patent Right or other rights in the Territory that are owned or controlled by such Third Party, then the Party becoming aware of such claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party within [* * *] days after receipt of such claim or assertion and such notice shall include a copy of any summons or complaint (or the equivalent thereof) received regarding the foregoing.

Verastem Oncology Signs an Exclusive License Agreement with Sanofi for the Development and Commercialization of COPIKTRA® (duvelisib) in Russia and CIS, Turkey, the Middle East and Africa

Verastem Oncology to Receive an Upfront Payment of $5 Million USD; Then Eligible to Receive Up To $42 Million USD in Development and Sales Milestones and Double-Digit Percentage Royalties

Sanofi Obtains Rights to Develop and Commercialize COPIKTRA in the Licensed Territories

BOSTON, MA – July [XX], 2019 – Verastem, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSTM) operating as Verastem Oncology, (or “the Company”), today announced their entry into an exclusive licensing agreement with Sanofi to develop and commercialize Verastem Oncology’s COPIKTRA® (duvelisib), an oral inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and the first approved dual inhibitor of PI3K-delta and PI3K-gamma, for the treatment of all oncology indications in Russia and CIS, Turkey, the Middle East and Africa.

Under the terms of the agreement, Verastem Oncology shall receive an upfront payment of $5 million USD. Verastem Oncology is also eligible to receive up to an additional $42 million USD in development and sales milestone payments, plus double-digit percentage royalties based on future net sales of COPIKTRA in the licensed territories.  Sanofi will receive exclusive rights to develop and commercialize COPIKTRA, and hold the marketing authorization and product license for COPIKTRA, in the licensed territories. Sanofi will also have the right to collaborate with Verastem Oncology on certain global development and clinical trial activities.

“Sanofi brings world-class capabilities in developing and commercializing products, making them an ideal partner to bring COPIKTRA to patients in these territories,” said Dan Paterson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Verastem Oncology. “Establishing this third partnership outside the U.S. validates the global potential of COPIKTRA and underscores our commitment to bring COPIKTRA to patients worldwide.”

David Khougazian, Head of Sanofi Genzyme, China & Emerging Markets, commented, “As a specialty care leader, we welcome partnerships that have the potential to bring value for patients and caregivers. This agreement adds to our pipeline an oncology medicine with an innovative mechanism of action and a significant potential of new hope for the patients suffering from those types of blood malignancies with high unmet medical need. Partnering with Verastem Oncology for the development and commercialization of COPIKTRA is consistent with our goals to deliver enhanced patient care and to expand our presence in oncology in Emerging Markets.”

COPIKTRA was approved in September 2018 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) after at least two prior therapies.  In addition, COPIKTRA has been granted accelerated approval by the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) after at least two prior systemic therapies.  Accelerated approval in FL was based on overall response rate and continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.  COPIKTRA includes a Boxed Warning for fatal and serious toxicities including infections, diarrhea or colitis, cutaneous reactions and pneumonitis.  See full Prescribing Information for complete Boxed Warning and other important safety information.

of COPIKTRA; the fact that regulatory authorities in the U.S. or other jurisdictions, if approved, could withdraw approval; whether preclinical testing of our product candidates and preliminary or interim data from clinical trials will be predictive of the results or success of ongoing or later clinical trials; that the timing, scope and rate of reimbursement for our product candidates is uncertain; that third-party payors (including government agencies) may not reimburse for COPIKTRA; that there may be competitive developments affecting our product candidates; that data may not be available when expected; that enrollment of clinical trials may take longer than expected; that COPIKTRA or our other product candidates will cause unexpected safety events, experience manufacturing or supply interruptions or failures, or result in unmanageable safety profiles as compared to their levels of efficacy; that COPIKTRA will be ineffective at treating patients with lymphoid malignancies; that we will be unable to successfully initiate or complete the clinical development and eventual commercialization of our product candidates; that the development and commercialization of our product candidates will take longer or cost more than planned; that we may not have sufficient cash to fund our contemplated operations; that we, Sanofi, CSPC Pharmaceutical Group, Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd. or Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will fail to fully perform under the duvelisib license agreements; that we may be unable to make additional draws under our debt facility or obtain adequate financing in the future through product licensing, co-promotional arrangements, public or private equity, debt financing or otherwise; that we will not pursue or submit regulatory filings for our product candidates, including for duvelisib in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) or indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) in other jurisdictions; and that our product candidates will not receive regulatory approval, become commercially successful products, or result in new treatment options being offered to patients.

Other risks and uncertainties include those identified under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 9, 2019, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2019 and in any subsequent filings with the SEC.
