FIN-525. During the remainder of the term of this Agreement following the date of the FIN- 525 First Phase II Completion, other than as part of any Development Programs under this Agreement, Finch shall not, without the prior written consent of Takeda, directly or indirectly (through an Affiliate or a Third Party): [***].

Finch’s Reserved Rights. The parties acknowledge and agree that the exclusive licenses granted to Takeda hereunder, with respect to the Finch’s Know-How and Finch Patent Rights, shall not be construed to preclude Finch from adding data that Finch identifies in the course of its work pursuant to this Agreement that constitute Finch Intellectual Property or Joint Program Intellectual Property (but not Takeda Intellectual Property) to its databases solely for the purpose of refining those databases (for clarification, Finch may use such refined database for itself and for Third Parties) or using its proprietary computational systems and databases to screen FMT data sets for potential microbiome therapies for itself and for Third Parties; provided, that Finch shall not:

Finch Accessible Phase I/II Clinical Data. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Takeda hereby grants to Finch, and Finch hereby accepts: a non-exclusive, royalty-free license, without the right to sublicense, to use Finch Accessible FIN-524 Phase I/II Clinical Data and Finch Accessible FIN-525 Phase I/II Clinical Data to design products in the Field other than GI Field; provided that Finch notifies Takeda prior to exercising such license and pays the following considerations to Takeda.

Phase III Clinical Data. During the term of this Agreement, if Finch notifies Takeda of its desires to obtain a non-exclusive license to use the Finch Accessible FIN-524 Clinical Data generated in the course of any Phase III Clinical Trial or the Finch Accessible FIN-525 Clinical Data generated in the course of any Phase III Clinical Trial in the Field other than GI Field, the parties shall negotiate in good faith reasonable terms and conditions of such license (including consideration payable from Finch to Takeda).

New IBD Program Offer. If, at any time following [***], whichever occurs later, Finch determines to commence the process for the development of a product for the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (whether by itself or by seeking to collaborate with any Third Party with respect to such development effort or to grant any Third Party rights to a therapeutic developed by Finch for treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease), then Finch shall, within [***], provide a written notice to Takeda, setting forth the intent of Finch to commence a development process or license process and providing Takeda the right to negotiate for the participation in such collaboration or the acquisition of such license prior to the consummation of such collaboration or license process.

Offer Notice from Takeda. Takeda shall within [***] following the date of Finch’s notice either provide Finch with (i) written notice that it has an interest in participating in such collaboration or acquiring such license (such notice, the “Offer Notice”); or (ii) written notice that it will not exercise its rights to collaborate with Finch or to acquire such license.

Good Faith Negotiation; No Less Favored Treatment. If Takeda provides an Offer Notice, then Finch and Takeda shall use their respective best efforts to negotiate in good faith a definitive agreement for collaboration with respect to such Inflammatory Bowel Disease treatment or the acquisition by Takeda of a license to such Inflammatory Bowel Disease treatment on mutually acceptable terms within [***] of the delivery of the Offer Notice. The [***] negotiation period may be extended by mutual agreement. If the parties are unable to agree upon the terms for such collaboration or the acquisition by Takeda of a license to such Inflammatory Bowel Disease treatment within such [***] period and the parties are unwilling to extend the period for closing such transaction, then Takeda’s right to collaborate with Finch with respect to such Inflammatory Bowel Disease treatment or to acquire a license to such Inflammatory Bowel Disease treatment shall expire and Finch shall be free to enter into any such agreement for the collaboration with respect to such Inflammatory Bowel Disease treatment or the license of such Inflammatory Bowel Disease treatment with any Third Party; provided, however, that any such collaboration agreement or license agreement shall contain economic terms that are in the aggregate no less favorable to Finch than those last offered to Takeda. If Finch wishes to offer such opportunity to a Third Party on economic terms that are in the aggregate less favorable to Finch than those last offered to Takeda, Finch shall first make an offer on such “improved” terms to Takeda in accordance with the procedure specified above and Takeda may either accept or reject such improved terms in their entirety but may not negotiate such terms.

Takeda’s Right to Use FMT Clinical Data. Takeda may use the FMT Clinical Data solely for the purpose of Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of FIN-524, FIN-525 and any Licensed Products, including to re-analyze the FMT Clinical Data in order to aid in the design of the composition for FIN-524, FIN-525 and any Licensed Products or to substitute Optimal FIN-524 and Optimal FIN-600 pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(iii).

Analysis in Non-IBD Field. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Takeda may suggest and propose a plan by which analyses of the FMT Clinical Data may aid in the development of novel therapeutic, whether inside or outside of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and by which analyses of FMT Clinical Data would be considered the initiating event to identify a novel therapeutic target lead in humans or in the microbiome itself. In this event, Finch will have the sole right to decide whether it wants to engage in these analyses in terms of any of the underlying data related to the generation of FIN-524 or FIN-525 up to IND. If Finch agrees to pursue such analyses, the parties shall negotiate in good faith a separate agreement for undertaking such analyses and pursuing the novel therapeutic target on mutually acceptable terms.

Extended Purposes of Use. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Takeda may suggest and propose a plan in which analyses of the FMT Clinical Data may inform on the development of a therapeutic entity or pathway under development at Takeda at this time or in the future initiated and pursued by or on behalf of Takeda independently from the collaboration with Finch hereunder. In this event, Finch will have the sole right to decide whether Finch is willing to grant a license to use any of the underlying data related to generation of FIN-524 or FIN-525 up to IND, including FMT Clinical Data, for the purposes of the Takeda’s independent development program. If Finch agrees to grant such a license, the parties shall negotiate in good faith a separate agreement for undertaking such analyses and pursuing the novel therapeutic target on mutually acceptable terms.

No Disclosure Obligation. For the avoidance of any doubt, Finch shall have no obligation to disclose or reveal to Takeda any proprietary software or actual software code to be used in the above- mentioned analyses.

REGULATORY MATTERS

Finch’s Responsibility.

Until the FIN-524 First Phase II Completion or FIN-525 First Phase II Completion, as applicable with respect to a Development Program (provided, if Takeda exercises a Phase II Development Option for a Licensed Product, until the completion of Phase I Clinical Trials in the U.S. of such Licensed Product), Finch shall be solely responsible for taking all actions and conducting all communications with U.S. and each appropriate foreign Regulatory Authority(ies) required by Applicable Laws in respect of each Regulatory Filing in support of obtaining Regulatory Approval in accordance with the Development Plan and decision made at the Joint Development Committee and/or Joint Steering Committee.

Finch shall provide Takeda with a copy (which may be wholly or partly in electronic form) of all Regulatory Filings with respect to Licensed Product. Finch shall provide Takeda with reasonable advance notice of any scheduled meeting with a Regulatory Authority relating to Development, such BLA and/or regulatory inspection (including, without limitation, GMP and PV inspection), and Takeda shall have the right, if and to the extent permitted by the relevant Regulatory Authority, to observe and to participate in any such meeting. Finch shall promptly furnish Takeda with copies of all material correspondence, minutes of material meetings with any Regulatory Authority or any result of regulatory inspection in each case relating to the Licensed Product.

Takeda shall assist Finch as reasonably necessary to review its filings, data, documentation, responses to Regulatory Authority questionnaires or queries regarding clinical data, and advise and support of any necessary inspections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Finch shall be primarily responsible for taking all actions and conducting all communications with each appropriate foreign Regulatory Authority required by Applicable Laws in respect of BLA.

Takeda’s Responsibility.

Except for the case of Section 5.1(a), Takeda shall be solely responsible for taking all actions and conducting all communications with each appropriate foreign or U.S. Regulatory Authority required by Applicable Laws in respect of each Regulatory Filing in support of obtaining Regulatory Approval, and all Regulatory Approvals obtained, for the Licensed Product for any indication in the Territory, including preparing and filing all reports (including adverse drug experience reports), amendments, supplements and other documents with such Regulatory Authority(ies) with respect to or as part of a BLA or other Regulatory Filing.

Takeda shall provide Finch with a copy (which may be wholly or partly in electronic form) of all Regulatory Filings with respect to Licensed Product. Takeda shall provide Finch with reasonable advance notice of any scheduled meeting with a Regulatory Authority relating to Development and/or such BLA or other Regulatory Filing, and Finch shall have the right to silently observe (if and to the extent permitted by the relevant Regulatory Authority) and, if the parties mutually agree in advance, participate in any such meeting. Takeda shall promptly furnish Finch with copies of all material correspondence or minutes of material meetings with any Regulatory Authority in each case relating to the Licensed Product.

Finch shall assist Takeda as reasonably necessary to support its filings and provide files suitable for submission on a timely basis, including all necessary data, documentation, responses to Regulatory Authority questionnaires or queries regarding clinical data, and advise and support of any necessary inspections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Takeda shall be primarily responsible for taking all actions and conducting all communications with each appropriate foreign Regulatory Authority required by Applicable Laws in respect of each Regulatory Filing applicable to the Licensed Product.

MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY

Finch’s Supply Responsibility. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Finch shall be responsible for, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, supply Takeda’s, its Affiliates’ or sublicensees’ requirements of Licensed Product for use in the Territory until such time as Takeda assumes responsibility for Manufacture of Licensed Products pursuant to Section 6.2(b). Until Takeda assumes responsibility for Manufacturing pursuant to Section 6.2(b), Takeda shall purchase its supply of Licensed Product exclusively from Finch or its designated Third Party contract manufacturer. With respect to purchase of Licensed Product for Development of indications other than the indication that is the subject of the Development Plan, Takeda shall pay a price to Finch equal to the Cost of Manufacture unless Takeda has previously paid for such manufacture as part of the Development Costs. To the extent that such purchase is a part of the Development Costs, payments and related matters shall be handled as set forth in Section 4.4.

Timing of Supply Responsibility Transition. With respect to a Licensed Product, the timing when Takeda assumes responsibility for Manufacture of such Licensed Product shall be discussed and determined by the Joint Manufacturing Committee; provided, the parties shall ensure the assumption occurs no later than six (6) months after (i) FIN-524 First Phase II Completion or FIN-525 First Phase II Completion, as applicable, so that Takeda can Manufacture the Licensed Products for Phase III Clinical Trial or (ii) if Takeda exercises a Phase II Development Option pursuant to Section 4.3(c), the completion of the Phase I Clinical Trial of the Licensed Product so that Takeda can Manufacture the Licensed Product for Phase II Clinical Trial.

Supply and Quality Agreements. The parties agree that at Takeda’s request Finch shall enter into a Supply Agreement(s) and a Quality Agreement(s) for the supply of drug substance or clinical or commercial supply of Licensed Product required in Sections 6.1 and 6.2(a). The Supply Agreement(s) and Quality Agreement(s) shall be negotiated and managed by the Joint Manufacturing Committee.

Takeda’s Manufacturing Responsibility. Upon Takeda’s assumption of responsibility for Manufacture of a Licensed Product, Takeda shall:

at its sole expense, be responsible for and shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Manufacture the Licensed Products for further Development and Commercialization in the Territory;

purchase from Finch the Licensed Product inventories (including the conformance lots) at a price equal to Finch’s Cost of Manufacture unless Takeda has already paid for such inventories as Development Costs;

reimburse Finch for expenses in connection with the termination or modification of the then existing manufacturing agreements with Third Parties that are identified in such manufacturing agreements; and

assume all of Finch’s obligations under the manufacturing and supply agreements to which Finch is a party and which Takeda has been made aware of, as of the date that Takeda notifies Finch that Takeda will assume responsibility for Manufacture (including any new arrangements or extensions that the Joint Manufacturing Committee has reviewed and approved, required to be entered into between such date and the date Takeda assumes responsibility for Manufacture of the Licensed Product to minimize the threat of a supply interruption).

Seamless Transition; Technology Transfer. Finch shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to avoid cancellation fees when engaging any contract manufacturer and the parties shall coordinate their efforts to reduce the likelihood of supply interruptions at the time Takeda assumes responsibility for Manufacture of a Licensed Product in commercial quantities. In accordance with a transition plan agreed at the Joint Manufacturing Committee, Finch shall be primarily responsible to perform the technical transfer requirements without additional cost to Takeda in a timely manner to ensure a smooth transition of Manufacturing responsibilities to Takeda and an uninterrupted supply of clinical and commercial quantities of the Licensed Product.

Royalties.

Royalty Rates. Takeda shall pay Finch a royalty on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis based on annual aggregate Net Sales of a Licensed Product in each calendar year commencing with the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in any country in the Territory and ending upon the last day of the last Royalty Term for such Licensed Product in such country, at the following rates:

Reduced Royalty Rates (Required Third Party License). If, as a result of any discussion of potential infringement or misappropriation of Third Party’s Patent Rights or Know-How pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or 9.3(b), the parties elect to enter into a license with such Third Party to avoid such infringement or misappropriation by (i) the Manufacture of such Licensed Product using the Licensed Technology that covers such Manufacture or (ii) solely with respect to the composition of matter or methods of use embodied or claimed in the Licensed Technology for such Licensed Product by the sale, offer for sale, use or importation of any Licensed Product in the Territory or the practice or use of any Licensed Technology, Program Patent Rights or Program Intellectual Property to Manufacture or have Manufactured any Licensed Product (each such license, a “Required Third Party License”) and Takeda owes [***] to such Third Party under the Required Third Party License, then Takeda may, beginning from the date that Takeda first makes or incurs any such payments, deduct the amount of [***] in any calendar quarter from the royalties payable hereunder to Finch in such calendar quarter; provided, that the royalties payable to Finch by Takeda shall not be reduced by more than [***] of the amount otherwise due in any calendar quarter; and provided, further that [***].

Reduced Royalty Rates (Non-Coverage by Valid Claim). Royalties shall be payable under Section 8.4(a) on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis for the applicable Royalty Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.4(a) or this Section 8.4(c), if any Licensed Product is sold in a country and is not Covered by a Valid Claim included in Finch Patent Rights or Regulatory Exclusivity in such country at the time of sale, then royalty rates in such country shall be

Remittance.

Royalty Payment Terms; Report. Any payments of royalties payable pursuant to Section 8.4 shall be made by Takeda within [***] after the end of each calendar quarter in which Net Sales occur, commencing with the calendar quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product occurs. Within [***] after the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the calendar quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product occurs, Takeda shall deliver to Finch a written report with respect to such calendar quarter stating the Net Sales, a top line summary of the deductions taken from gross sales (in each case on a country-by-country basis) and total Net Sales of the Licensed Product sold by Takeda, its Affiliates or sublicensees during such quarter in U.S. dollars (the “Royalty Report”). In each country where Net Sales have occurred in a currency other than U.S. dollars, such Net Sales will be converted to U.S. dollars at the end of the applicable calendar quarter using the quarter end rate of exchange. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in U.S. dollars under this Agreement will be made in accordance [***]. Royalties will be calculated based on the Royalty Report.

Interests. In the event that any payment due either party under this Agreement is not made when due, the amount due shall accrue interest [***], or, if lower, the maximum rate permitted by law, calculated from the due date until paid in full. Such payment when made shall be accompanied by all interest so accrued. Said interest and the payment and acceptance thereof shall not negate or waive the right of the party to whom payment is due to any other remedy, legal or equitable, to which it may be entitled because of the delinquency of the payment.

Currency Conversion Restriction. If at any time legal restrictions within any country in the Territory prevent the conversion of the local currency and such currency cannot be removed from such country such that prompt remittance by the party owing a royalty of any royalties owed in respect of sales in such country is prevented, the party owing a royalty shall make payment through any lawful means or methods that may be available as such party shall reasonably determine. If royalties in any country cannot be remitted within [***] after the end of the relevant royalty period, then the party owing a royalty shall pay the other party in the local currency of such country by deposit of the relevant royalties in a bank account in such country designated by the other party.

Audits.

Finch’s Audit Rights. During the term of the Agreement and for a period of [***] thereafter, Takeda, its Affiliates or sublicensees will keep complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit Finch to confirm the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in each Royalty Report and all payments due hereunder. Takeda, its Affiliates or sublicensees will permit an independent, certified public accountant selected by Finch and reasonably acceptable to Takeda, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “Auditor”) to audit or inspect those records of Takeda that relate to Net Sales and Royalty Reports for one or more annual periods,

Additional Royalty Payment. In the event that the Auditor concludes that additional royalties were required for the annual period under review, the additional royalty payment will be paid within [***] of the date the Auditor delivers its report to the parties so concluding that such payments were underpaid, and excess royalties paid will be reimbursed to Takeda by Finch within [***]. The payment of additional royalties to Finch shall bear interest as described in Section 8.5(b). The fees charged by the Auditor will be paid by Finch unless the audit discloses an underpayment of royalties paid or payable by Takeda for the annual period under review by more than [***] of the amount due, in which case Takeda shall pay (or reimburse Finch for) the reasonable fees and expenses charged by the Auditor.

Taxes.

Cooperation and Coordination. The parties acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual objective and intent to appropriately calculate, to the extent feasible and legal, taxes payable with respect to their collaborative efforts under this Agreement and that they shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate with each other to achieve such objective.

Payment of Tax. A party receiving a payment pursuant to this Section 8 shall pay any and all taxes levied on such payment. If Applicable Laws require that taxes be deducted and withheld from a payment made pursuant to this Section 8, the remitting party shall: (1) deduct those taxes from the payment; (2) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority; and (3) send evidence of the obligation together with proof of payment to the other party within [***] following that payment.

Tax Residence Certificate. A party receiving a payment pursuant to this Section 8 shall provide the remitting party appropriate certification from relevant revenue authorities that such party is a tax resident of that jurisdiction, if such receiving party wishes to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which that jurisdiction is a party. Upon the receipt thereof, any deduction and withholding of taxes shall be made at the appropriate treaty tax rate.

Assessment. Either party may, at its own expense, protest any assessment, proposed assessment, or other claim by any Governmental Authority for any additional amount of taxes, interest or penalties or seek a refund of such amounts paid if permitted to do so by Applicable Laws. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in any protest by providing records and such additional information as may reasonably be necessary for a party to pursue such protest.

PATENT

Disclosure; Patent Prosecution.

Mutual Disclosure. Each of Finch and Takeda shall promptly and fully disclose to the other in writing reasonably detailed written reports describing any Program Intellectual Property that may be Covered by Patent Rights, under the applicable U.S. patent laws, (whether to be owned jointly by the parties

Patent Prosecution by Finch. Subject to the last sentence of Section 9.1(a), Finch shall file, prosecute, and maintain the Finch Patent Rights, at Finch’s sole expense, in each Major Market Country in the Territory and in any other countries within the Territory upon which Finch and Takeda agree. Finch shall promptly furnish or have furnished to Takeda copies of all patents, patent applications, substantive patent office actions, and substantive responses received or filed in connection with such patents and patent applications. In the case of patent applications and responses, copies will be furnished to Takeda as soon as possible after Finch’s receipt of the same; provided, that Finch shall furnish such copies at least [***] before filing or mailing, as the case may be. Takeda may itself or through its attorney offer comments and suggestions with respect to the matters that are the subject of this Section 9.1(b) and Finch shall consider such comments and suggestions. If reasonably necessary, Takeda shall cooperate, at Finch’s expense, in the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of any and all Finch Patent Rights that are the subject of this Section 9.1(b). Finch shall promptly provide notice to Takeda as to all matters that come to its attention that may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any Finch Patent Rights. In the event that Finch elects not to file for patent protection, or elects not to prosecute or maintain a patent or patent application under, the Finch Patent Rights described in this Section 9.1(b) in a particular country(ies), Finch shall notify Takeda of such decision as soon as possible no later than [***] prior to the final deadline for any pending action or response that may be due with respect to such Finch Patent Right with the applicable patent authority. In the event Takeda provides written notice expressing its interest in prosecuting and maintaining such Licensed Patent Right, Finch shall cooperate with Takeda to permit Takeda to file, prosecute, and maintain such Finch Patent Rights, at Takeda’s sole expense, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1(c).

Patent Prosecution by Takeda. Subject to the last sentence of Section 9.1(a), Takeda shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain each of (i) the Takeda Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights throughout the Territory and (ii) the Finch Patent Rights for which Finch has the first right to file, prosecute and maintain and either elects not to prosecute or that are abandoned by Finch or its licensors, each as provided in Section 9.1(b) in the relevant country(ies). With respect to Joint Patent Rights, Takeda shall use outside patent counsel reasonably acceptable to both parties, and such outside counsel shall be responsible to both Takeda and Finch, and shall use reasonable efforts to solicit both Takeda’s and Finch’s advice on material prosecution matters related thereto. Such outside patent counsel shall meet with Takeda and Finch patent counsel on a regular basis as needed to discuss strategy for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Joint Patent Rights. Takeda shall be solely responsible for costs associated with the Takeda Patent Rights and Finch Patent Rights for which Takeda is responsible under this Section 9.1(c), and Takeda and Finch shall equally share costs associated with the Joint Patent Rights throughout the Territory. Takeda shall promptly furnish or have furnished to Finch copies of all patents, patent applications, substantive patent office actions, and substantive responses received or filed in connection with such applications for Joint Patent Rights and Finch Patent Rights at least [***] before filing or

Patent Term Extension. Takeda shall have the right to make the final decision on patent term extension with respect to a Licensed Product. The parties will cooperate with one another in connection with any request for patent term extension under 35 U.S.C. §156 in the U.S., or analogous statutes or regulations in other jurisdictions in the Territory, for patents relating to a Licensed Product.

Enforcement.

Actual or Threatened Infringement. If either party learns of any actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation or any attack on the validity or enforceability by a Third Party with respect to Joint Patent Rights, Joint Program Intellectual Property or Licensed Technology anywhere in the Territory, such party shall promptly notify the other party and shall provide such other party with available evidence of such events.

Enforcement by Takeda. Takeda shall have the first option to pursue any enforcement or defense of Licensed Technology, Joint Program Intellectual Property and Joint Patent Rights against infringement or misappropriation, including defense against a declaratory judgment action alleging invalidity or non-infringement of any of the Licensed Technology, Joint Program Intellectual Property and Joint Patent Rights; provided, that Takeda pays all costs and expenses related to the same, keeps Finch reasonably informed of its progress and provides Finch with copies of any substantive documents related to such proceedings and reasonable notice of all such proceedings. Takeda’s costs and expenses in prosecuting or defending such matters shall be subject to expense allocation (and reimbursement, if any) in accordance with Section 9.2(e). Takeda shall notify Finch of its decision to exercise its right to enforce or defend Licensed Technology, Joint Program Intellectual Property or Joint Patent Rights as soon as possible, but not later than [***] following its discovery or receipt of notice of the alleged infringement or misappropriation.

Enforcement by Finch.

If (A) Takeda notifies Finch that it will not enforce any Licensed Technology, Joint Program Intellectual Property or Joint Patent Rights in accordance with Section 9.2(b); (B) Takeda has exhausted all legal appeals with respect to causing the alleged infringement or misappropriation to cease or causing the person alleging the infringement or misappropriation to forebear, (C) Takeda fails to bring an infringement or misappropriation action within [***] following its discovery or receipt of notice of the alleged infringement or misappropriation or (D) Takeda is not diligently pursuing an infringement or misappropriation action or diligently defending the validity or enforceability of Licensed Technology, Joint Program Intellectual Property or Joint Patent Rights at issue, then Finch shall have the right to pursue the alleged infringer or party responsible for the alleged misappropriation or take control of any action initiated by, or being defended by, Takeda at Finch’s own expense.

Notwithstanding the foregoing (i), if Takeda has not initiated an infringement or misappropriation action as described under Section 9.2(c)(i)(C) above, or ceased to pursue such action, on the advice of outside patent counsel, then Finch agrees not to (and shall cause, to the extent Finch has the legally enforceable right to do so, its licensor(s) not to) initiate such an

Distribution of Recovery. Any recovery of damages or other sums recovered in a proceeding or action with regard to Licensed Technology, Joint Program Intellectual Property or Joint Patent Rights handled by a party pursuant to Section 9.2(b) or 9.2(c) shall be applied first in satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of the party bringing or defending the proceeding or action (the “Acting Party”) and next, if applicable, in satisfaction of the costs and expenses incurred by the other party in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees involved in the prosecution and/or defense of any proceeding or action and, if after such reimbursement any funds shall remain from such damages or other sums recovered, the remaining recovery shall be [***]. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any suit regarding Licensed Technology, Joint Program Intellectual Property or Joint Patent Rights may be entered into without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Cooperation in Enforcement. In any infringement or misappropriation suit that either party may institute to enforce Licensed Technology, Joint Program Intellectual Property or Joint Patent Rights, or in any declaratory judgment action alleging invalidity, non-infringement or non-misappropriation of any Licensed Technology brought against Finch or Takeda, the other party shall, at the request and expense of the party initiating or defending the suit or action, cooperate and assist in all reasonable respects, having its employees testify when requested and making available relevant records, papers, information, specimens and the like. In addition, upon the reasonable request of the party instituting an action under Section 9.2(a) or 9.2(b), or if required by Applicable Law, the other party shall join such action and shall be represented using counsel of its own choice, at the requesting party’s expense; provided, that if Takeda does not initiate an action hereunder on the advice of outside patent counsel, then Finch may not require Takeda to join such action but Finch may have Takeda join such action as an involuntary party, but Takeda shall not be required to participate in such action.

Generic Entry. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 9.2 to the contrary, each party shall promptly give written notice to the other of any filing of which it becomes aware, for regulatory approval of a generic form of the Licensed Product if such filing becomes permissible in any country of the Territory during the term of this Agreement. Takeda shall then have the right to bring such an infringement action, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, in its own name and/or in the name of Finch using the procedure set forth in Section 9.2(b). If Takeda does not wish to bring such action it shall notify Finch promptly, in such a manner as to not prejudice such infringement action, and Finch may bring such action using the procedure set forth in Section 9.2(c). For the avoidance of doubt, if Takeda does not initiate an infringement action hereunder on the advice of outside patent counsel, then Finch agrees not to (and shall cause, to the extent Finch has the legally enforceable right to do so, its licensor(s) not to) initiate such an action without Takeda’s prior consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Third Party Licenses; Defense of Infringement Actions.

Consequently, except for disclosures permitted pursuant to Section 10.1(b), if a party wishes to make a publication containing (i) any Finch Intellectual Property or subject of Finch Patent Rights, or (ii) any Takeda Intellectual Property or subject of Takeda Patent Rights, the party disclosing or submitting such proposed publication (“Submitting Party”) shall send the other party (“Responding Party”) by expedited delivery a copy of the proposed publication to be submitted and shall allow the Responding Party a reasonable time period (but no more than [***] from the date of confirmed receipt) in which to determine whether the proposed publication contains subject matter for which patent protection should be sought (prior to publication of such proposed publication) for the purpose of protecting an invention, or whether the proposed publication contains Confidential Information of the Responding Party. Following the expiration of applicable time period for review, the Submitting Party shall be free to submit such proposed publication for publication and publish or otherwise disclose to the public such scientific or clinical results, subject to the procedures set forth in Section 10.2(b).

Review Process. If the Responding Party believes that the subject matter of the proposed publication contains Confidential Information or a patentable invention of the Responding Party, then prior to the expiration of the applicable time period for review, the Responding Party shall notify the Submitting Party in writing of its determination that such proposed publication contains such information or subject matter for which patent protection should be sought. On receipt of such written notice from the Responding Party, the Submitting Party shall delay public disclosure of such information or submission of the proposed publication for an additional period of [***] to permit preparation and filing of a patent application on the disclosed subject matter. The Submitting Party shall thereafter be free to publish or disclose such information, except that the Submitting Party may not disclose any Confidential Information of the Responding Party in violation of Sections 10.1 and 10.2; provided that the parties shall use reasonable efforts to provide scientifically meaningful equivalent information that is not Confidential Information for use in such disclosure.

Finch has no knowledge of any pending litigation against Finch or any Affiliate of Finch or any licensor of Finch that alleges that any of Finch’s activities relating to the Licensed Products have violated, or by Developing Licensed Products would violate, any of the intellectual property rights of any Third Party (nor has it received any written communication threatening such litigation).

Finch has not previously assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise encumbered and will not assign, transfer, convey or otherwise encumber its right, title and interest in the Licensed Technology in a manner inconsistent with the terms hereof. There is and will be no agreement to which Finch is a party and by which it is bound that would conflict with or be breached by Finch granting Takeda the licenses in Section 2.1(a).

Finch is and will be the sole and exclusive owner of the Licensed Technology owned by Finch and no other Person has any claim of ownership with respect to the Licensed Technology. Finch has and will maintain the right to grant the license granted to Takeda under Section 2.1(a) on the terms set forth herein.

Finch has obtained the assignment of all interests and all rights of any and all third parties (including employees) involved in the creation of the Finch Intellectual Property owned by Finch, and Finch has taken and will take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of the confidential Finch Intellectual Property to the extent that a failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on Takeda’s ability to Develop and Commercialize Licensed Products as contemplated by this Agreement.

Finch has no knowledge as of the Restatement Effective Date of any use, infringement or misappropriation of the Finch Intellectual Property in derogation of the rights granted to Takeda in this Agreement.

There are no investigations, inquiries, actions or other proceedings pending before any Regulatory Authority or other government agency with respect to the Licensed Products being Developed by Finch, and Finch has not received written notice threatening any such investigation, inquiry, action or other proceeding and Finch has no knowledge that any of its licensors has received any such written notice.

Finch has and will maintain a right to access and use the OpenBiome Resources and any other resources necessary for Finch to fulfil its responsibilities under this Agreement that are subject to an agreement with a Third Party as of the Restatement Effective Date. Finch shall not amend, without the prior written consent of Takeda (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), or voluntarily terminate, any of its rights under any Existing Agreement, in any manner that would materially and adversely affect Takeda’s rights and benefits under this Agreement during the term of this Agreement.

Disclaimers.

EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY MADE IN SECTIONS 11.1 AND 11.2, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL), INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON- INFRINGEMENT OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICES, IN ALL CASES WITH RESPECT THERETO.

THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH OF FINCH AND TAKEDA EXTEND ONLY TO THE OTHER PARTY. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM OR DEMAND AGAINST SUCH OTHER PARTY BY A THIRD PARTY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 12.2 AND 12.3.

RISK ALLOCATION

Infringement Indemnification.

Subject to the provisions of Section 12.4, Finch shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Takeda Indemnified Party(ies) from and against any Losses imposed upon them by any Third Party and arising from or related to a Third Party claim that (i) use of Finch Intellectual Property or practice of the Finch Patent Rights by or on behalf of Takeda in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) use of Finch’s computational system and databases violates or infringes the intellectual property rights of any Third Party that qualify as a Required Third Party License. Finch shall have no liability or obligation to Takeda under this Section 12.3(a) in the event and to the extent that the alleged infringement results from willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Takeda or its Affiliates, or its or their respective employees, officers, directors or agents.

Subject to the provisions of Section 12.4, Takeda shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Finch Indemnified Party(ies) from and against any Losses imposed upon them by any Third Party and arising from or related to a Third Party claim that use of the Takeda Intellectual Property or practice of the Takeda Patent Rights by Finch in accordance with the terms of this Agreement violates or infringes the intellectual property rights of any Third Party. Takeda shall have no obligation or liability to Finch under this Section 12.3(b) in the event and to the extent that the alleged infringement (i) is covered by Section 12.3(a) or (ii) results from willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Finch or its Affiliates, or its or their respective employees, officers, directors or agents.

If any notice of infringement or misappropriation is received by, or a suit is initiated against, Takeda or Finch by a Third Party concerning the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Licensed Product in the Territory, the parties shall consult in good faith regarding the best response before either party responds to the Third Party. The parties will share equally the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of matters arising pursuant to this Section 12.3(c), but the allocation of any other costs shall be subject to Section 12.3(a) and 12.3(b), as applicable.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any infringement action brought against Finch, Takeda or both parties alleging infringement, that is not subject to this Section 12.3: (i) Takeda shall have the final right to control such defense (including, settlement therefor) if Takeda is the sole defendant, (ii) Finch shall have the final right to control such defense (including settlement) therefor if Finch is the sole defendant and (iii) the parties shall jointly control such defense (including settlement therefor) if the parties are joint defendants and each party shall bear its own cost incurred, including its internal cost.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Arbitration.

Arbitration Request. If a party intends to begin an arbitration to resolve a dispute arising under this Agreement after the provisions of Section 14.1 have been exhausted, such party shall provide written notice (the “Arbitration Request”) to the other party of such intention and the issues for resolution. From the date of the Arbitration Request and until such time as the dispute has become finally settled, the running of the time periods as to which a party must cure a breach of this Agreement becomes suspended as to the subject matter of the dispute. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, during the period of time that any arbitration proceeding is pending under this Agreement, the parties shall continue to comply with all those terms and provisions of this Agreement that are not the subject of the pending arbitration proceeding. The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Large Complex Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and otherwise as set forth in this Section 14.2.

Addition of Issues. Within [***] after the receipt of the Arbitration Request, the other party may, by written notice, add additional issues for resolution; provided, that such issues have been subject to Section 14.1 and relate directly to the matter that is the subject of the applicable Arbitration Request.

AAA Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted by one (1) arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Large Complex Disputes as modified below, unless the matter in dispute has a value of at least [***] and either party wishes to have the arbitration conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. The arbitrator(s) shall be experienced in the subject matter of the Arbitration Request as it applies to the biotechnology or pharmaceutical business. The parties shall cooperate to attempt to select the arbitrator(s) by agreement within [***] of the initiation of arbitration. If agreement cannot be reached within such [***], then that AAA will submit a list of [***] qualified arbitrators from which each party shall strike unacceptable entries; provided that each party shall not strike more than [***] of the names without cause, and rank the remaining names. The AAA shall appoint the arbitrator(s) with the highest combined ranking(s). If these procedures fail to result in selection of the required number of arbitrators, the AAA shall appoint the arbitrator(s), allowing each side challenges for cause. The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York and all proceedings and communications shall be conducted in English. The parties each use their best efforts to have the arbitration hearing held as soon as practicable and in any event within [***] after the selection of the arbitrator(s). At least [***] prior to the arbitration hearing, each party shall submit to the other party and the arbitrator(s) a copy of all exhibits on which such party intends to rely at the hearing, a pre-hearing brief [***], and a proposed ruling [***]. The proposed ruling shall be limited to proposed rulings and remedies on each issue, and shall contain no argument on or analysis of the facts or issues. Within [***] after close of the hearing, each party may submit a post-hearing brief [***] to the arbitrator(s).

Injunctions. Either party may apply first to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration decision is rendered or the arbitration matter is otherwise resolved; provided, that if such party determines that such injunctive relief cannot be awarded in a timeframe adequate to protect such party’s interests, then a party may, without waiving any right or remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that party pending resolution of the arbitration matter pursuant to this Section 14.2. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or any other type of damages not measured by a party’s compensatory damages. The parties further agree that the decision of the arbitrators shall be the sole, exclusive and binding remedy between them regarding determination of arbitration matters presented.

Disputed/Suspended Performance. The parties hereby agree that any disputed performance or suspended performance pending the resolution of an arbitration matter that the arbitrators determine to be required to be performed by a party must be completed within a reasonable time period following the final decision of the arbitrators.

Arbitration Costs. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrators; provided, however, that the arbitrators shall be authorized to determine whether a party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges and travel expenses), and/or the fees and costs of the arbitrators.

Confidentiality. Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or decision or as may be required by Applicable Laws, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties.

Suspension of Termination Right. The parties agree that, in the event of an arbitration matter involving the alleged breach of this Agreement, neither party may terminate this Agreement until resolution of such matter pursuant to this Section 14.2, and any time period for cure will only commence after such resolution.

Waiver of Jury and Other Rights in Court Litigation. By agreeing to this binding arbitration provision, the parties understand that they are waiving certain rights and protections which may otherwise be available if a dispute between the parties were determined by litigation in court, including the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this provision, the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, and a right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence.
