All such discounts, allowances, credits, rebates, and other deductions will be fairly and equitably allocated between such Licensed Product and other products of Licensee and its Affiliates and its Sublicensees such that such Licensed Product does not bear a disproportionate portion of such deductions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received or invoiced by Licensee or its Affiliates or its Sublicensees (other than Third Party Distributors) for the sale of such Licensed Product among Licensee or its Affiliates or its Sublicensees (other than Third Party Distributors) for resale will not be included in the computation of Net Sales hereunder. In any event, any amounts received or invoiced by Licensee or its Affiliates or its Sublicensees will be accounted for only once.

In the event that the weighted average sale price of a Licensed Product can be determined but the weighted average sale price of the other active compound or ingredient in the Combination Product cannot be determined, then Net Sales for such product shall be calculated by multiplying the net sales of the Combination Product (as calculated in accordance with analogous criteria as set forth above for the “Net Sales” definition) by the fraction A / C where A is the weighted average sale price of such Licensed Product when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average sale price of the Combination Product.

In the event that the weighted average sale price of the other active compounds or ingredients in the Combination Product can be determined but the weighted average sale price of such Licensed Product cannot be determined, Net Sales for such product shall be calculated by multiplying the net sales of the Combination Product (as calculated in accordance with analogous criteria as set forth above for the “Net Sales” definition) by the following formula: one (1) minus B / C where B is the weighted average sale price of the other active compound or ingredient in the Combination Product when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average sale price of the Combination Product.

In the event that the weighted average sale price of both a Licensed Product and the other active compound or ingredient in the Combination Product cannot be determined, then Net Sales for such product shall be equal to [***] of the net sales of the Combination Product (as calculated in accordance with analogous criteria as set forth above for the “Net Sales” definition).

Each Party agrees that, during the Term and for a period of [***] years thereafter, a Party (the “Receiving Party”) receiving Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) will (a) maintain in confidence such Confidential Information using not less than the efforts such Receiving Party uses to maintain in confidence its own confidential or proprietary information of similar kind and value, (b) not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except for disclosures expressly permitted below, and (c) not use such Confidential Information for any purpose, except to exercise its right and perform its obligations under this Agreement (it being understood that this Section 12.1 (Nondisclosure) will not create or imply any rights or licenses not expressly granted under this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to any trade secret within such Confidential Information will survive for so long as such Confidential Information remains protected as a trade secret under Applicable Law.

 

12.2 Exceptions. The obligations in Section 12.1 (Nondisclosure) will not apply with respect to any portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party can show by competent evidence:

 

  12.2.1 is publicly disclosed by the Disclosing Party, either before or after it is disclosed to the Receiving Party hereunder;

 

  12.2.2 is known to the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates at the time of its receipt, and not through a prior disclosure by the Disclosing Party, without any obligation to keep it confidential or any restriction on its use, prior to such disclosure by the Disclosing Party;

  12.3.2 Notice; Confidential Treatment. If and whenever any Confidential Information is disclosed in accordance with this Section 12.3 (Authorized Disclosure), such disclosure will not cause any such information to cease to be Confidential Information except to the extent that such disclosure results in a public disclosure of such information (other than by breach of this Agreement).

15.3 Indemnification Procedures.

 

  15.3.1 Notice. Promptly after a Takeda Indemnitee or a Licensee Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) receives notice of a pending or threatened Claim, such Indemnitee will give written notice of the Claim to the Party from whom the Indemnitee is entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to Section 15.1 (Indemnification by Licensee) or Section 15.2 (Indemnification by Takeda), as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”). However, an Indemnitee’s delay in providing or failure to provide such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent it can demonstrate prejudice due to the delay or lack of notice.

 

  15.3.2 Defense. Upon receipt of notice under Section 15.3.1 (Notice) from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty to either compromise or defend, at its own expense and by counsel (reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee), such Claim. The Indemnifying Party will promptly (and in any event not more than [***] days after receipt of the Indemnitee’s original notice) notify the Indemnitee in writing that it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim pursuant to this Article 15 (Indemnification; Insurance) and of its intention either to compromise or defend such Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, (a) the Indemnifying Party will have the right to control the defense and settlement of such Claim, subject to this Section 15.3 (Indemnification Procedures) and (b) the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee’s reasonable expenses of investigation and cooperation. However, the Indemnitee will have the right to employ separate counsel and to control the defense of a Claim at its own expense.

 

  15.3.3 Cooperation. The Indemnitee will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any Claim. The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnitee informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of such Claim (to the extent the Indemnitee is not participating in the defense of such Claim) and conduct the defense of such Claim in a prudent manner.

 

  15.3.4 Settlement. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee’s written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), unless: (a) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee; (b) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (c) the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are not adversely affected. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of a Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnitee may settle such Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and the Indemnifying Party will be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for such settlement as provided in this Article 15 (Indemnification; Insurance).

 

15.4

Insurance. Each Party, at its own expense, shall maintain liability insurance in an amount consistent with industry standards during the Term, but in no event shall such insurance be in an amount less than [***] per occurrence/annual aggregate during the Term. In addition, during the term of Commercialization of any Licensed Product and for a period of at least [***] years

  thereafter, each Party shall maintain product liability insurance in an amount not less than [***] per occurrence and annual aggregate. A Party responsible for the conduct any Clinical Trials hereunder shall maintain clinical trial insurance in compliance with all Applicable Law pertaining to the jurisdictions in which such Clinical Trials are conducted. Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage to the other Party upon its written request. Each Party shall notify the other [***] days in advance of cancelation of any such insurance. Takeda shall be permitted to satisfy its obligations hereunder through a program of self-insurance.

Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement will be a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.

 

16.3 Assignment.

16.5 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision will be considered severed from this Agreement and will not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties will make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

 

16.6 Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver will be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party will not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

  (a) The Company is an exempted limited company duly organized, validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of Bermuda (meaning solely that it has not failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority, or to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax, which would make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of Bermuda) and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

All of the outstanding Shares have been duly authorized, are fully paid and nonassessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof) and were issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No Shares have been reserved for issuance for any purpose, including, but not limited to, issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company pursuant to any equity incentive plan.

  (c)

The Shares, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms and for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under the Shareholder Agreements, applicable state and federal securities laws and liens or encumbrances

(c) Grant of Secondary Refusal Right to the Investors. Subject to the terms of Section 3 below, each Key Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Investors (other than itself as a Key Holder) a Secondary Refusal Right to purchase all or any portion of the Transfer Securities not purchased by the Company pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, as provided in this Subsection 2.1(c). If the Company does not intend to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to all Transfer Securities subject to a Proposed Key Holder Transfer, the Company must deliver a Secondary Notice to the selling Key Holder and to each Investor to that effect no later than 15 days after the selling Key Holder delivers the Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company. To exercise its Secondary Refusal Right, an Investor must deliver an Investor Notice to the selling Key Holder and the Company within 10 days after the Company’s deadline for its delivery of the Secondary Notice as provided in the preceding sentence.

(d) Undersubscription of Transfer Securities. If options to purchase have been exercised by the Company and the Investors with respect to some but not all of the Transfer Securities by the end of the 10-day period specified in the last sentence of Subsection 2.1(c) (the “Investor Notice Period”), then the Company shall, immediately after the expiration of the Investor Notice Period, send written notice (the “Company Undersubscription Notice”) to those Investors who fully exercised their Secondary Refusal Right within the Investor Notice Period (the “Exercising Investors”). Each Exercising Investor shall, subject to the provisions of this Subsection 2.1(d), have an additional option to purchase all or any part of the balance of any such remaining unsubscribed shares of Transfer Securities on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice. To exercise such option, an Exercising Investor must deliver an Undersubscription Notice to the selling Key Holder and the Company within 10 days after the expiration of the Investor Notice Period. In the event there are two or more such Exercising Investors that choose to exercise the last-mentioned option for a total number of remaining shares in excess of the number available, the remaining shares available for purchase under this Subsection 2.1(d) shall be allocated to such Exercising Investors pro rata based on the number of shares of Transfer Securities such Exercising Investors have elected to purchase pursuant to the Secondary Refusal Right (without giving effect to any shares of Transfer Securities that any such Exercising Investor has elected to purchase pursuant to the Company Undersubscription Notice). If the options to purchase the remaining shares are exercised in full by the Exercising Investors, the Company shall immediately notify all of the Exercising Investors and the selling Key Holder of that fact.

(e) Consideration; Closing. If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Transfer Securities is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, the fair market value of the consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board and as set forth in the Company Notice. If the Company or any Investor cannot for any reason pay for the Transfer Securities in the same form of non-cash consideration, the Company or such Investor may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board and as set forth in the Company Notice. The closing of the purchase of Transfer Securities by the Company and the Investors shall take place, and all payments from the Company and the Investors shall have been delivered to the selling Key Holder, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice as the intended date of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer and (ii) 45 days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.

2.2 Right of Co-Sale.

(a) Exercise of Right. If any Transfer Securities subject to a Proposed Key Holder Transfer are not purchased pursuant to Subsection 2.1 above and thereafter are to be sold to a Prospective Transferee, each respective Investor (unless the Investor is the transferring Key Holder) may elect to exercise its Right of Co-Sale and participate on a pro rata basis in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer as set forth in Subsection 2.2(b) below and, subject to Subsection 2.2(d), otherwise on the same terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice. Each Investor that desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale (each, a “Participating Investor”) must give the selling Key Holder written notice to that effect within 15 days after the deadline for delivery of the Secondary Notice described above, and upon giving such notice such Participating Investor shall be deemed to have effectively exercised the Right of Co-Sale.

(b) Shares Includable. Each Participating Investor may include in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer all or any part of such Participating Investor’s shares of Capital Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Transfer Securities subject to the Proposed Key Holder Transfer (excluding Common Shares purchased by the Company or the Participating Investors pursuant to the Right of First Refusal or the Secondary Refusal Right) by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Capital Stock owned by such Participating Investor, on a fully-diluted and as-converted to Common Shares basis, immediately before consummation of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Capital Stock owned, in the aggregate and on a fully-diluted and as-converted to Common Shares basis, by all Participating Investors immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer, plus the number of shares of Transfer Securities held by the Key Holders (excluding any Participating Investor). To the extent one or more of the Participating Investors exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the number of shares of Transfer Securities that the selling Key Holder may sell in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.

(c) Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Participating Investors and the selling Key Holder agree that the terms and conditions of any Proposed Key Holder Transfer in accordance with Subsection 2.2 will be memorialized in, and governed by, a written purchase and sale agreement with the Prospective Transferee (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with customary terms and provisions for such a transaction, and the Participating Investors and the selling Key Holder further covenant and agree to enter into such Purchase and Sale Agreement as a condition precedent to any sale or other transfer in accordance with this Subsection 2.2.

(d) Allocation of Consideration. Subject to Subsection 2.2(d)(ii), the aggregate consideration payable to the Participating Investors and the selling Key Holder shall be allocated based on the number of shares of Capital Stock sold to the Prospective Transferee by each Participating Investor and the selling Key Holder as provided in Subsection 2.2(b), provided that if a Participating Investor wishes to sell shares of Capital Stock other than the series of Capital Stock subject to the Proposed Key Holder Transfer, the price set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice shall be appropriately adjusted based on the conversion ratio of such Capital Stock into Common Shares.

(e) Purchase by Selling Key Holder; Deliveries. Notwithstanding Subsection 2.2(c) above, if any Prospective Transferee or Transferees refuse(s) to purchase securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from any Participating Investor or Investors or upon the failure to negotiate in good faith a Purchase and Sale Agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Participating Investor or Investors, no Key Holder may sell any Transfer Securities to such Prospective Transferee or Transferees unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Key Holder purchases all securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from such Participating Investor or Investors on the same terms and conditions (including the proposed purchase price) as set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice and as provided in Subsection 2.2(d)(i). In connection with such purchase by the selling Key Holder, the Participating Investor or Investors shall deliver to the selling Key Holder a certificate or certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing the Capital Stock being purchased by the selling Key Holder (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of the selling Key Holder). Each such certificate delivered to the selling Key Holder will be transferred to the Prospective Transferee against payment therefor in consummation of the sale of the Transfer Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice, and the selling Key Holder shall concurrently therewith remit or direct payment to the Participating Investor or Investors the portion of the aggregate consideration to which each such Participating Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale as provided in this Subsection 2.2(e).

(f) Additional Compliance. If any Proposed Key Holder Transfer is not consummated within 45 days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Company, the Key Holders proposing the Proposed Key Holder Transfer may not sell any Transfer Securities unless they first comply in full with each provision of this Section 2. The exercise or election not to exercise any right by any Investor hereunder shall not adversely affect its right to participate in any other sales of Transfer Securities subject to this Subsection 2.2.

2.3 Effect of Failure to Comply.

(a) Transfer Void; Equitable Relief. Any Proposed Key Holder Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Transfer Securities not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).

(b) Violation of First Refusal Right. If any Key Holder becomes obligated to sell any Transfer Securities to the Company or any Investor under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Transfer Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company and/or such Investor may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have,

send to such Key Holder the purchase price for such Transfer Securities as is herein specified and transfer to the name of the Company or such Investor (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of an Investor) on the Company’s books the certificate or certificates representing the Transfer Securities to be sold.

(c) Violation of Co-Sale Right. If any Key Holder purports to sell any Transfer Securities in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale (a “Prohibited Transfer”), each Investor, if it desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale under Subsection 2.2, may, in addition to such remedies as may be available by law, in equity or hereunder, require such Key Holder to purchase from such Investor the Common Shares that such Investor would have been entitled to sell to the Prospective Transferee had the Prohibited Transfer been effected in compliance with the terms of Subsection 2.2. The sale will be made on the same terms, including, without limitation, as provided in Subsection 2.2(d)(i) and the first sentence of Subsection 2.2(d)(ii), as applicable, and subject to the same conditions as would have applied had the Key Holder not made the Prohibited Transfer, except that the sale (including, without limitation, the delivery of the purchase price) must be made within 90 days after the Investor learns of the Prohibited Transfer, as opposed to the timeframe proscribed in Subsection 2.2. Such Key Holder shall also reimburse each Investor for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Investor’s rights under Subsection 2.2.

3. Exempt Transfers.

3.1 Exempted Transfers. Subject to the terms of Section 3.3, but notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision to the contrary herein, the provisions of Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 shall not apply: (a) in the case of a Key Holder that is an entity, upon transfer by such Key Holder to its Affiliates, (b) to a repurchase of Transfer Securities from a Key Holder by the Company at a price no greater than that originally paid by such Key Holder for such Transfer Securities and pursuant to an agreement containing vesting and/or repurchase provisions approved by a majority of the Board, or (c) in the case of a Key Holder that is a natural person, upon a transfer of Transfer Securities by such Key Holder made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during his or her lifetime, or on death by will or intestacy to his or her spouse, child (natural or adopted) , any other direct lineal descendant, father, mother or brother or sister (or his or her spouse) of such Key Holder (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or any custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of which are owned wholly by, such Key Holder or any such family member, provided that in the case of clause(s) (a) or (c), (x) the Key Holder shall deliver prior written notice to the Investor of such gift, sale or transfer and (y) such Transfer Securities shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a condition to such issuance, deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Key Holder (but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee), including the obligations of a Key Holder with respect to Proposed Key Holder Transfers of such Transfer Securities pursuant to Section 2.

3.2 Exempted Offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 2.1 shall not apply to the sale of any Transfer

Securities (a) to the public in an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (b) pursuant to a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 2.2 shall not apply to the sale of any Transfer Securities to the public in an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

3.3 Prohibited Transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Key Holder shall transfer any Transfer Securities to (a) any entity other than an Affiliate which, in the good faith determination of the Board, directly or indirectly competes with the Company or (b) any customer, distributor or supplier of the Company, if the Board should determine in good faith that such transfer would result in such customer, distributor or supplier receiving information that would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage with respect to such customer, distributor or supplier.

4. Legend. Each certificate representing Transfer Securities held by the Key Holders or Transfer Securities issued to any permitted transferee in connection with a transfer permitted by Subsection 3.1 hereof shall be endorsed with the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO, AND IN CERTAIN CASES PROHIBITED BY, THE ISSUER’S BYLAWS, A CERTAIN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE HOLDER, AND A CERTAIN RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE AGREEMENT AMONG THE HOLDER, THE ISSUER AND CERTAIN OTHER HOLDERS OF EQUITY OF THE ISSUER. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENTS MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER.

Each Key Holder agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer restrictions on the shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in this Section 4 above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, and the Company agrees to promptly do so. The legend shall be removed upon termination of this Agreement at the request of the holder.

5. “Market Stand-off” Agreement. Each Key Holder agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company or any successor corporation of the Company of its equity securities under the Securities Act on a registration statement for the IPO, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed 180 days), (a) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or

contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Shares or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement or the transfer of any shares to any Affiliate of the Key Holder; provided that such Affiliate shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to future transfers; provided further that this Section 5 shall be applicable to each Key Holder and transferee only if all officers and directors of the Company are subject to the same restrictions and the Company obtains a similar agreement from all shareholders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding equity interests. The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 5 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Key Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 5 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Common Shares (or other securities) held by each Key Holder (and the securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

6. Miscellaneous.

6.1 Term. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (a) immediately prior to the consummation of the Company’s IPO, (b) the closing of a transaction described in clause (i) of the definition of Change of Control, and (c) the liquidation or other dissolution of the Company.

6.2 Ownership. Each Key Holder represents and warrants that such Key Holder is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Transfer Securities subject to this Agreement and that no other Person or entity has any interest in such shares (other than a community property interest as to which the holder thereof has acknowledged and agreed in writing to the restrictions and obligations hereunder).

6.3 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE SECURITIES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.

6.6 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

The Company shall give prompt written notice of any amendment, modification or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, modification, termination or waiver. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.

Takeda Pharmaceuticals International AG

Dear Sirs,

Roivant Endocrinology Ltd. (the “Company”)

We have acted as special Bermuda legal counsel to the Company in connection with the license by the Company of the chemical compound coded by Takeda Pharmaceuticals International AG (“Takeda”) as TAK-385 and TAK-448 (together, the “Licensed Compounds”) and the Licensed Products in the Licensee Territory (each as defined in the License Agreement (as defined below)).

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined electronic copies of the following documents:

 

  (i) a license agreement dated 29 April 2016 (the “License Agreement”) between the Company and Takeda in respect of the license by the Company of the Licensed Compound and the Licensed Products in the Licensee Territory (each as defined therein);

 

  (ii) a subscription agreement dated 29 April 2016 (the “Subscription Agreement”) between the Company and Takeda in respect of the issuance by the Company to Takeda of 9,000,000 common shares (the “Shares”);

 

  (iii) an investor rights agreement dated 29 April 2016 between the Company, Roivant Sciences Ltd. (“RSL”) and Takeda;

 

[***] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment requested under 17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 230.406.


  (iv) a right of first refusal and co-sale agreement dated 29 April 2016 between the Company, the Investors set forth on Schedule A thereto and the Key Holders set forth on Schedule B thereto; and

 

  (v) a warrant to purchase shares of the Company dated 29 April 2016 (the “Warrant”) by the Company in favour of Takeda.

The documents listed in items (i) through (v) above are herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Documents” (which term does not include any other instrument or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto).

We have also reviewed the memorandum of association and the bye-laws of the Company, each certified by the Secretary of the Company on 29 April 2016, written resolutions of its sole director passed on 27 April 2016 and written resolutions of its shareholder dated 27 April 2016 (together, the “Resolutions”), and such other documents and made such enquiries as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth below.

We have assumed (a) the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and the conformity to the originals of all copies (whether or not certified) examined by us and the authenticity and completeness of the originals from which such copies were taken; (b) that where a document has been examined by us in draft form, it will be or has been executed in the form of that draft, and where a number of drafts of a document have been examined by us all changes thereto have been marked or otherwise drawn to our attention; (c) the capacity, power and authority of each of the parties to the Documents, other than the Company, to enter into and perform its respective obligations under the Documents; (d) the due execution and delivery of the Documents by each of the parties thereto, other than the Company, and the physical delivery thereof by the Company with an intention to be bound thereby; (e) the accuracy and completeness of all factual representations made in the Documents and other documents reviewed by us; (f) that the Resolutions were passed at one or more duly convened, constituted and quorate meetings or by unanimous written resolutions, remain in full force and effect and have not been rescinded or amended; (g) that the Company is entering into the Documents pursuant to its business of lawful business; (h) that there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than Bermuda, which would have any implication in relation to

 

[***] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment requested under 17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 230.406.


the opinions expressed herein; (i) the validity and binding effect under the laws of New York (the “New York Laws”) of the License Agreement which is expressed to be governed by such New York Laws in accordance with its terms; (j) the validity and binding effect under the laws of Delaware (the “Delaware Laws” and, together with the New York Laws, the “Foreign Laws”) of the Documents other than the License Agreement which are expressed to be governed by such Delaware Laws in accordance with their respective terms; (k) the validity and binding effect under the New York Laws of the submission by the Company pursuant to the License Agreement to the jurisdiction of the courts of New York (the “New York Courts”); (l) the validity and binding effect under the Delaware Laws of the submission by the Company pursuant to the Documents other than the License Agreement to the jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware (the “Delaware Courts” and, together with the New York Courts, the “Foreign Courts”); (m) that none of the parties to the Documents carries on business from premises in Bermuda at which it employs staff and pays salaries and other expenses; and (n) that on the date of entering into the Documents the Company is and after entering into the Documents will be able to pay its liabilities as they become due.

The obligations of the Company under the Documents (a) will be subject to the laws from time to time in effect relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, possessory liens, rights of set off, reorganisation, amalgamation, merger, moratorium or any other laws or legal procedures, whether of a similar nature or otherwise, generally affecting the rights of creditors as well as applicable international sanctions; (b) will be subject to statutory limitation of the time within which proceedings may be brought; (c) will be subject to general principles of equity and, as such, specific performance and injunctive relief, being equitable remedies, may not be available; (d) may not be given effect to by a Bermuda court, whether or not it was applying the Foreign Laws, if and to the extent they constitute the payment of an amount which is in the nature of a penalty; and (e) may not be given effect by a Bermuda court to the extent that they are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside Bermuda and such performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any contractual submission to the jurisdiction of specific courts, a Bermuda court has inherent discretion to stay or allow proceedings in the Bermuda courts.

We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Documents which provides for the payment of a specified rate of interest on the amount of a judgment after the date of judgment, which purports to fetter the statutory powers of the Company, or which purports to grant exclusive jurisdiction to any courts.

 

[***] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment requested under 17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 230.406.


We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in Bermuda. This opinion is issued solely for your benefit and use in connection with the matter described herein and is not to be relied upon by any other person, firm or entity or in respect of any other matter.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

1. The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of Bermuda.

 

2. The Company has the necessary corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Documents. The execution and delivery of the Documents by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will not violate the memorandum of association or bye-laws of the Company nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in Bermuda.

 

3. The Company has taken all corporate action required to authorise its execution, delivery and performance of the Documents. The Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company, and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

4. No order, consent, approval, licence, authorisation or validation of or exemption by any government or public body or authority of Bermuda or any sub-division thereof is required to authorise or is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Documents, except such as have been duly obtained in accordance with Bermuda law.

 

5.

It is not necessary or desirable to ensure the enforceability in Bermuda of the Documents that they be registered in any register kept by, or filed with, any governmental authority or regulatory body in Bermuda. However, to the extent that any of the Documents creates a charge over assets of the Company, it may be desirable to ensure the priority in Bermuda of the charge that it be registered in the Register of Charges in accordance with Section 55 of the Companies Act 1981. On registration, to the extent that Bermuda law governs the priority of a charge,

 

[***] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment requested under 17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 230.406.


  such charge will have priority in Bermuda over any unregistered charges created after 11 July 1984, and over any subsequently registered charges, in respect of the assets which are the subject of the charge. A registration fee of US$630 will be payable in respect of the registration.

While there is no exhaustive definition of a charge under Bermuda law, a charge includes any interest created in property by way of security (including any mortgage, assignment, pledge, lien or hypothecation). As the Documents are governed by the Foreign Laws, the question of whether they create such an interest in property would be determined under the relevant Foreign Laws.

 

6. The Documents will not be subject to ad valorem stamp duty in Bermuda.

 

7. The choice of the Foreign Laws as the governing law of the Documents is a valid choice of law and would be recognised and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Bermuda, except for those laws (i) which such court considers to be procedural in nature; (ii) which are revenue or penal laws or (iii) the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of Bermuda. The submission in the Documents to the jurisdiction of the relevant Foreign Courts is valid and binding upon the Company.

 

8. The courts of Bermuda would recognise as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the Foreign Courts against the Company based upon the Documents under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) and would give a judgment based thereon provided that (a) such courts had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment; (b) such courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of Bermuda; (c) such judgment was not obtained by fraud; (d) the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of Bermuda; (e) no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of Bermuda; and (f) there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of Bermuda.
