In addition, each Receiving Party acknowledges that: (i) the Disclosing Party has invested, and continues to invest, substantial time, expense and specialized knowledge in developing its Confidential Information; (ii) the Confidential Information provides the Disclosing Party with a competitive advantage over others in the marketplace; and (iii) the Disclosing Party would be irreparably harmed if the Confidential Information were disclosed to competitors or made available to the public or used in breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the applicability of any other agreement to which a Party is subject, no Receiving Party will, directly or indirectly, disclose or use at any time, including use for personal, commercial or proprietary advantage or profit, either during their association with the other Party or thereafter, any Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party which the Receiving Party is or becomes aware. Each Receiving Party is in possession of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party will take all appropriate steps to safeguard such information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft.

(b)Nothing contained in Section 5.2(a) will prevent a Receiving Party or any of their respective Affiliates and Representatives from disclosing (and in the case of (vii), (viii) and (ix), using) Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party: (i) upon the order of any court or administrative agency; (ii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Party; (iii) to the extent compelled by legal process or required or requested pursuant to subpoena, interrogatories or other discovery requests; (iv) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder; (v) to other Parties who in the reasonable judgment of such Receiving Party need to know such Confidential Information; (vi) to such Receiving Party’s Affiliates and its and their Representatives who, in the reasonable judgment of such Receiving Party, need to know such Confidential Information and are subject to customary confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those set forth herein; (vii) to perform their duties as a Manager, Officer, employee, consultant or other service provider of the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries; (viii) to perform its obligations to the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries under any applicable Transaction Document or (ix) as otherwise permitted under any applicable Transaction Document; provided, however, that in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), such Receiving Party will notify the Disclosing Party of the proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as practicable and use reasonable efforts to ensure that any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment satisfactory to the Disclosing Party, when and if available.

(c)The restrictions of Section 5.2(a) will not apply to Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement; (ii) is or becomes available to such Receiving Party or any of their respective Representatives on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such Receiving Party and any of its Representatives in compliance with this Agreement; (iii) is or has been independently developed or conceived by such Receiving Party without use of Confidential Information of such Disclosing Party; or (iv) becomes available to such Receiving Party or any of its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than such Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives; provided, however, that such source is not known by the recipient of the Confidential Information of such Disclosing Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with such Disclosing Party or its Representatives.

(d)No Disclosing Party is waiving, nor will be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing information pursuant to this Agreement, or any of its confidential or proprietary information to the receiving party, regardless of whether the disclosing party has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, such privileges and protections. The Parties: (i) share a common legal and commercial interest in such disclosure that is subject to such privileges and protections; (ii) are or may become joint defendants in proceedings to which the information covered by such protections and privileges relates; (iii) intend that such privileges and protections remain intact should any Party become subject to any actual or threatened proceeding to which the disclosing Party’s information covered by such protections and privileges relates; and (iv) intend that after the date hereof both the Receiving Party and the Disclosing Party will have the right to assert such protections and privileges.

(g)In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1, this Agreement will forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of the Parties, and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, stockholders or other representatives, and all rights and obligations of any Party will cease; provided, however, that: (i) the Surviving Terms will survive the termination of this Agreement; and (ii) nothing herein will relieve any Party from liability resulting from any Breach of such Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein prior to such termination.

(h)Each Party acknowledges and agrees that each license granted to a Person under this Section 6.2 is an independent and standalone grant of rights to such Person, and, in the event of any overlap in subject matter between any two such licenses, no one license will be read to limit, modify or otherwise change the rights granted to the same or another Person under such other license.

6.3Breaches, Cure Periods and Remedies. If a Party alleges that any other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has failed to perform any of its covenants, obligations or agreements provided for in any Transaction Document or the LLC Agreement, it will provide written notice of such alleged failure to the Breaching Party. The Breaching Party will have [**] following such written notice (a “Cure Period”) to remedy such failure if such breach is curable and if the non-Breaching Parties will not be materially prejudiced thereby, and if it fails to remedy such failure within such Cure Period, the Breaching Party will be in breach of this Agreement (“Breach”). Upon a Breach by one Party, the non-Breaching Parties will have the right to seek all remedies available hereunder (including the termination rights set forth in Section 6.1 if such Breach would trigger any such right), in law or in equity. In addition to any other remedies set forth in any Transaction Document or the LLC Agreement, the remedies for any Breach will include damages and injunctive relief, including specific performance. Unless provided for herein, the rights and remedies provided in any Transaction Document or the LLC Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that any Party may otherwise have at law or in equity.

(a)If a Party is seeking to terminate the Agreement as a result of an Arbitration Matter (and following compliance with Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.1(c)), as applicable, the dispute as to the occurrence of an Arbitration Matter remains unresolved), such dispute will be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the then current Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association including the Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes (“AAA Rules”), except that any such arbitration must be conducted in accordance with the remainder of this Section 6.4. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is a dispute as to the occurrence of any Arbitration Matter and a Party is seeking remedies other than to terminate this Agreement, then such dispute will not be required to be settled by arbitration as contemplated by this Section 6.4 and instead, Section 7.5 will apply.

(b)Number and Selection of Arbitrators. The number of arbitrators will be three, who will be selected as follows: each of Bayer, on the one hand, and Arvinas, on the other hand, will choose one arbitrator within [**] of either initiating or receiving notice of an arbitration (as the case may be), and those Party-appointed arbitrators will unanimously select one chairman arbitrator within [**] of the appointment of the last Party appointed arbitrator, who will be a lawyer admitted to practice in New York for at least 15 years, and who is experienced with disputes in joint venture transactions (“Qualifications”). If the Party-appointed arbitrators are unable to agree upon the selection of the third arbitrator within [**] of the appointment of the last Party appointed arbitrator, such chairman arbitrator will be selected by the American Arbitration Association within [**] and will have Qualifications.

7.2Assignment. Other than an assignment of this Agreement in connection with a Permitted COC Transfer (for which no written consent will be required), neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned by a Party without the prior written consent of (a) in the case of a Committer, the other Committer, or (b) in the case of the Company, both Committers; provided, however, that the Committers may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate upon providing prior written notice to the Company and the other Party (provided, that such Party remains primarily liable for all obligations of such Affiliate following such assignment). Subject to the prior sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Transaction Document, an assignment of such Transaction Document may be made without the prior written consent of any other Party (or its Affiliates) in connection with a Permitted COC Transfer.

7.3Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under Applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

7.4Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement, or any amendment or waiver hereof, and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses.

7.5Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. All issues and questions concerning the application, construction, validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Parties hereby agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, will be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), so long as one of such courts will have subject-matter jurisdiction over such suit, action or proceeding, and that any case of action arising out of this Agreement will be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient form. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by registered mail to the address set forth in Section 7.1 will be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.6Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Committers.

7.7Extension; Waiver. The failure of any Party to insist upon strict performance of a covenant hereunder or of any obligation hereunder, irrespective of the length of time for which such failure continues, will not be a waiver of such Party’s right to demand strict compliance herewith in the future. No consent or waiver, express or implied, to or of any breach or default in the performance of any obligation hereunder, will constitute a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligation hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of the Party against which such waiver or extension is to be enforced. Waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement by a Party will not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or waiver of the same term or condition by such Party, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement by such Party.

7.8No Agreement Until Executed. Irrespective of negotiations among the Parties or the exchanging of drafts of this Agreement, this Agreement will not constitute or be deemed to evidence a contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding among the Parties unless and until this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Parties.

7.9Equitable Remedies . Each Party acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the other Parties, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such Party of any such obligations, the other Parties will, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

7.10Remedies Cumulative . The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.

7.11Miscellaneous. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Annexes and Exhibits hereto, the LLC Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any documents executed by the parties simultaneously herewith or pursuant thereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of Electronic Transmission will be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

7.12Interpretation . For purposes of this Agreement : (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole; and (d) the words “will” and “shall” are to be interpreted as having the same meaning. The definitions given for any defined terms in this Agreement will apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun will include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Annexes and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Annexes

and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement ; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof; and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. This Agreement will be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Annexes and Exhibits referred to herein will be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. The word “dollar” or symbol “$” refer to the lawful currency of the United States of America. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience or reference only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret, define, or limit the scope, extent or intent of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement in accordance herewith.

7.13Conflicts. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Goodwin Procter LLP (“Goodwin”) has acted as counsel to Arvinas and its Affiliates in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, the documents contemplated hereby and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Each of the Committers hereby consent and agree, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, to Goodwin representing the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Parties”) following the date hereof, except with respect to disputes in which the interests of the Company Parties are directly adverse to Committers and their respective Affiliates (the “Excluded Matters”). In connection with the foregoing and except with respect to the Excluded Matters, each Committer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, not to assert any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with Goodwin’s prior representation of Arvinas and its Affiliates prior to the date hereof.

7.14Stock Purchase Agreement and Collaboration Agreement. Each of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Collaboration Agreement (and any related agreements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby) are intended to be separate arrangements among the parties thereto and are only referenced herein for purposes of the Closing. Except as expressly provided for herein relating to the Pre-Closing Period, in no event shall the terms set forth herein or any other Transaction Document limit or otherwise apply to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Collaboration Agreement, any such related agreement and/or any transaction contemplated thereby

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, all as of the date first written above.
