EXHIBIT A

Schedule 1.3

Commercially Reasonable Efforts by Roche

“Commercially Reasonable Efforts” means such level of efforts required to carry out such obligation in a sustained manner consistent with the efforts that Roche devotes at the same stage of development or commercialization, as applicable, for its own internally developed pharmaceutical products in a similar area with similar market potential, at a similar stage of their product life taking into account the existence of other competitive products in the market place or under development, the proprietary position of the product, the regulatory structure involved, the anticipated profitability of the product and other relevant factors. It is understood that such product potential may change from time to time based upon changing scientific, business and marketing and return on investment considerations. The parties acknowledge that Roche (and its Affiliates) does not always seek to market its own products in every country or seek to obtain regulatory approval in every country or for every potential indication. [***]

EXHIBIT B

Schedule 1.7

Net Sales Definition Applicable to Roche

“Net Sales” means, for a Licensed Product in a particular period, the amount calculated by subtracting from the Sales of such Licensed Product for such period: (a) a lump sum deduction of [***] in lieu of those deductions that are not accounted for on a Licensed Product-byLicensed Product basis, including without limitation freight, postage charges, transportation insurance, packing materials for dispatch of goods, custom duties; (b) uncollectible amounts accrued during such period based on [***] in accordance with the then-currently used IFRS in the calculation of Sales of such Licensed Product for such period; and (c) government mandated fees and taxes (excluding income or franchise taxes) and [***] in accordance with the then-currently used IFRS in the calculation of Sales of such Licensed Product for such period, including, for example, any fees, taxes or other charges that become due in connection with [***]. For clarity, any given deduction shall be taken only under one of subsections (a) and (b), and only once in calculating Net Sales.

[***]

“Sales” means, for a Licensed Product in a particular period, the sum of (a) and (b) below:

(a) The amount [***] with respect to such Licensed Product for such period [***]. This amount reflects the [***] taken in accordance with the then-currently used IFRS. By way of example, the gross-to-net deductions taken in accordance with IFRS as of the Effective Date include the following:

[***]

For clarity, any given deduction shall be taken only under one of subsections (i) through (v), and only once in calculating Sales. For purposes of clarity, sales by Roche and its Affiliates to any sublicensees that are not Affiliates of Roche shall be excluded from “Sales”, unless such sublicensees are end users of such Licensed Product.

(b) For sublicensees that are not Affiliates of Roche and not end users of such Licensed Product [***], the sales amounts in the Territory reported to Roche and its Affiliates in accordance with [***]. For purposes of clarity, [***].

Upon timely request and at least [***] prior written notice from LICENSEE to Roche, such audit shall be conducted during regular business hours in such a manner as to not unnecessarily interfere with Roche’s normal business activities, and shall be limited to results in the [***] prior to audit notification. Such audit shall not be performed more frequently than [***]. All information, data, documents and abstracts herein referred to shall be used only for the purpose of verifying reports and payments made, and shall be treated as Roche’s confidential information.
