1.3 “Established IFX-x” has the meaning as defined in Section ‎2.3.

1.4 "IFX-x" means one or more bi- or multiple specific molecule(s) (i) which is/are developed on the basis of the INFLARX Intellectual Property and the BDB Intellectual Property and which is developed and derived in part or in whole from the antibody sequence of IFX-1 or from IFX-2 and which is binding to the complement component C5a, and (ii) contain in addition at least one other molecular entity bound or linked to the part described in (i), which binds or interacts with any molecular target or targets other than the complement component C5a, and (iii) which bi- or multiple specific molecule(s) is/ are developed under the full responsibility of INFLARX. It is understood that IFX-x is not manufactured/ generated in the IFX-1 Cell Line.

1.5 “BDB-x” means any specific Established IFX-x (as defined below) which is being developed under the full responsibility of BDB in accordance with the provisions of the Co-Development Agreement as altered by this Addendum after BDB has exercised its option right with respect to such specific Established IFX-x as set forth under Article 3.

ARTICLE 2 — Creation and Establishing of IFX-x molecules
during the Development Phase

2.1 BDB shall, during the Development Phase, create and generate one or more IFX-x molecule(s) (numbered in order of the creation starting with IFX-3, IFX-4 and so forth) on the basis of the INFLARX Intellectual Property and any applicable BDB Intellectual Property. These IFX-x molecules shall, besides interacting with C5a, bind and/or interact with one or more of the following targets: [*****]. Additional targets may be added upon approval by both Parties in writing. INFLARX will assist this creation and generation of the IFX-x molecules reasonably. BDB shall not create or engage in the creation of any IFX-x with respect to any target other than the targets set forth herein without the prior written approval of INFLARX. The Parties shall use their best reasonable efforts to create or generate such IFX-x molecules free of any Third Party Intellectual Property.

2.2 BDB shall then test and establish the binding, inhibition or other interaction of such molecule to any established target other than C5a in-house and deliver to INFLARX without undue delay any results of such testing. BDB shall deliver to INFLARX together with said test results such IFX-x in order for INFLARX to test and establish the binding to C5a and/or the inhibition of C5a-induced biological effects by such IFX x and INFLARX shall furnish the results of such testing without undue delay to BDB.

2.3 If, according to the test results, any IFX-x molecule is established by INFLARX and by BDB to bind to or interact with the additional target(s) as described in Section ‎2.1

INFLARX - BDB contract Addendum I - confidential information     page 3 of 8 

above and C5a in a satisfactory manner to both Parties, this IFX-x molecule will be recognized as established by both Parties by written notice dated and signed by both Parties (such established IFX-x molecule hereinafter the “Established IFX-x”). The Parties understand that weak or partial binding or blocking activity below [*****] of a suitable reference standard, i.e. IFX-1 performance for C5a binding, shall generally be deemed as not suitable. Such written notice determining an Established IFX-x shall become effective upon the date of the last signature. However, neither Party shall withhold unreasonably its signature of such notice for longer than [*****] after receipt of the dated and signed notice by the other Party if the test results show that the respective IFX-x is suitable as described before.
