The interest shall be computed at a rate per annum equal to the USD LIBOR for one month quoted two (2) Business Days prior to due date by the British Bankers’ Association, plus a premium of [*]. These rates are currently published by Reuters on screen <LIBOR01>. The interest rate shall be adjusted monthly. Interest shall be paid using the modified following payment convention and calculated based on the actual/360 adjusted day count convention.

5.7 Records; Audits. KHL shall maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit Bayer to confirm the obligations associated with the milestone payments under this Agreement.

Any such auditor shall not disclose to Bayer KHL’s Confidential Information, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by KHL or the amount of payments due by KHL under this Agreement. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid shall be paid within thirty (30) Business Days from the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 5.6) from the original due date. Bayer shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by KHL of more than [*] of the amount due, in which case KHL shall bear the full cost of such audit.

5.8 Taxes.

5.8.1 Payments to be Free and Clear. All sums payable by KHL to Bayer hereunder shall (except to the extent required by law) be (i) paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any taxes imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within any jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of KHL or by any federation or organization of which any such jurisdiction is a member at the time

of payment, provided that Bayer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any necessary forms and certificates complying with applicable law, duly executed, to reduce or eliminate any applicable withholding tax, and (ii) exclusive of value added tax (“VAT”). VAT applies additionally as legally owed, payable after receipt of a proper invoice, which meets all legal requirements according to the applicable VAT-law.

5.8.2 Withholding.

(a) If KHL is required by law (including any change in law or any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date hereof) to make any deduction or withholding on account of any tax from any sum paid or payable by it to Bayer hereunder and under any other agreement or document between KHL and Bayer: (A) KHL shall notify Bayer of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as KHL becomes aware of it; (B) KHL shall pay any such tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on KHL) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Bayer) on behalf of and in the name of Bayer; (C) the sum payable by KHL in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Bayer receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (D) within thirty (30) days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any tax which it is required by clause (B) above to pay, KHL shall deliver to Bayer evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, if any additional amount required to be paid to Bayer under this clause 5.8.2(a) above shall increase solely as a result of any assignment of this Agreement (or portion thereof) by Bayer to any other entity, KHL shall not be responsible for such increased amounts but shall only be responsible for the amount payable pursuant to this clause 5.8.2(a) immediately prior to the effectiveness of such assignment.

(b) If KHL is required to pay any additional amount to Bayer pursuant to clause 5.8.2(a) above, then Bayer shall use reasonable efforts to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of Bayer, such assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce materially amounts payable pursuant hereunder, (B) would not subject Bayer to any unreimbursed cost or expense, (C) would not require Bayer to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions, and (D) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Bayer. KHL shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Bayer in connection with any such assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by Bayer to KHL shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

ARTICLE 8 INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Indemnification By KHL. Except to the extent of any Losses covered by Section 8.2, KHL agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bayer, its Affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “Bayer Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of a Third Party Claim arising out of, resulting from or relating to the following (to the extent not otherwise subject to the indemnification obligations surviving pursuant to Section 2.4):

8.1.1 any material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by Parent or KHL in this Agreement, the Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, or the TSA;

8.1.2 any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of any of the KHL Indemnitees in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, or the TSA; or

8.1.3 any activity performed directly in connection with the Development, manufacture, or Commercialization of the Compound or the Product by or on behalf of Parent or KHL, or their Affiliates, licensees, subcontractors or distributors (other than Bayer and its Affiliates, subcontractors or distributors) prior to or after the Effective Date, including without limitation personal injury or death, or any damage to any property, caused by a defect in any Compound or finished Product manufactured by or on behalf of Parent or KHL, or their Affiliates, licensees, subcontractors or distributors (other than Bayer and its Affiliates, subcontractors or distributors) prior to or after the Effective Date.

8.2 Indemnification By Bayer. Except to the extent of any Losses covered by Section 8.1, Bayer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless KHL, its Affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “KHL Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of a Third Party Claim arising out of, resulting from or relating to the following (to the extent not otherwise subject to the indemnification obligations surviving pursuant to Section 2.4):

8.2.1 any material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by Bayer in this Agreement, the Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, or the TSA; or

8.2.2 any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of any of the Bayer Indemnitees in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, or the TSA.

8.3 Procedure. A Party entitled to be indemnified under Section 8.1 or 8.2 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party liable for such indemnification (the

“Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of any such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any such duty to so indemnify except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the obligation to control the defense of the Indemnified Party against any such Third Party Claim, utilizing counsel chosen in the Indemnifying Party’s sole discretion; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any such defense, at its own expense, by separate counsel of its choice; provided further, that any such participation shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s right to control such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, before (i) admitting any liability or fault of the Indemnified Party, (ii) ceasing to defend against any Third Party Claim or (iii) entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Third Party Claim involving injunctive or similar equitable relief being asserted against any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the provision of any such defense by providing to the Indemnifying Party all such information, assistance and authority as may reasonably be requested by the Indemnifying Party.

8.4 Secondary Indemnification By Parent. As an inducement for Bayer’s agreement to execute this Agreement, Parent hereby guarantees KHL’s indemnification obligations pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 such that if KHL fails to make any indemnification payment due under Section 8.1 when due, or fails to defend any Third Party Claim as and to the extent required under Section 8.3, then in each case, within thirty (30) days after the date that Bayer has provided written notice to Parent of such failure, if KHL has not resolved such failure to the satisfaction of Bayer, Parent shall assume any and all such obligations, and thereafter Parent shall have a direct obligation to Bayer equal to that of KHL.

ARTICLE 9 DISPUTE RESOLUTION

9.1 Exclusive Dispute Resolution Mechanism. The Parties agree that the procedures set forth in this ARTICLE 9 shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving any dispute, controversy, or claim between the Parties that may arise from time to time pursuant to this Agreement relating to either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder that cannot be resolved through good faith negotiation between the Parties (collectively, “Disputes”).

9.2 Resolution by Chief Executives. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event of any Dispute, the construction hereof, or the rights, duties or liabilities of either Party hereunder, the Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within ten (10) Business Days, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, refer the Dispute to the other Party for attempted resolution between the Chief Executives of KHL and Bayer, or their designees, by good faith negotiation within thirty (30) days after such notice is received. Except as set forth in Section 9.4 or 9.5, each Party may, in its sole discretion, seek resolution of any and all Disputes that are not resolved by the Chief Executives under this Section 9.2 in accordance with Section 9.3 by providing written notice to

the other Party within forty-five (45) days after the period for resolution by the Chief Executives has expired.

9.3 Arbitration.

9.3.1 Any arbitration under this Section 9.3 shall be conducted with the applicable ICC Rules as such Rules may be amended from time to time. In such arbitration the governing law to be applied is as described in Section 11.11. The International Bar Association Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration shall govern the taking of evidence in any such proceeding, it being the intent of the Parties to enable a reasonable amount of discovery in any such proceeding.

9.3.2 The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. Within ten (10) days after receipt of an arbitration notice from a Party, each Party shall select one (1) arbitrator with relevant industry experience and the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC (the “Court”) shall select a third arbitrator in accordance with the Rules. In the event that only one of the Parties selects an arbitrator, then the Court shall select an arbitrator in accordance with the Rules for such Party, and a third arbitrator in accordance with the Rules. Each and every arbitrator of the arbitration panel conducting the arbitration must and shall agree to render an opinion within twenty (20) days (or sixty (60) days if a Party requests a written opinion of the findings of fact and conclusion of law pursuant to Section 9.3.5 below) after the final hearing before the panel.

9.3.3 The place of arbitration shall be London, England, and the language used in any such proceeding (and for all testimony, evidence and written documentation) shall be English.

9.3.4 The Parties acknowledge that they desire for any arbitration to be conducted in an efficient, speedy and economical manner. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to complete arbitration under this Section 9.3 within one hundred eighty (180) days following the initiation of such arbitration. In order to effectuate this desire, the arbitral panel shall establish procedures reasonably directed to facilitating such goals and completing such arbitration within such one hundred eighty (180) day period.

9.3.5 The decision or award of the arbitral panel shall be final and binding and incontestable and may be used as a basis for judgment thereon in any jurisdiction. To the full extent permissible under Laws, the Parties hereby expressly agree to waive the right to appeal from the decision of the arbitrator(s), there shall be no appeal to any court or other authority (government or private) from the decision of the arbitrator(s), and the Parties shall not dispute nor question the validity of such decision or award before any regulatory or other authority in any jurisdiction where enforcement action is taken by the Party in whose favor the decision or award is rendered, except in the case of fraud or on the grounds established under Article V of the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. The arbitrator(s) shall, upon the request of either Party, issue a written opinion of the findings of fact and conclusions of law and shall deliver a copy to each of the Parties. Without limiting any other remedies that may be available under Laws, the arbitral panel shall have no authority to

award provisional remedies of any nature whatsoever, or punitive, special, consequential, or any other similar form of damages.

9.3.6 Each Party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees, and the Parties shall equally bear the fees, costs, and expenses of the arbitrator(s) and the arbitration proceedings; provided, however, that the arbitrator(s) may exercise discretion to award costs, including attorney’s fees, to the prevailing Party.

9.4 Preliminary Injunctions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Party may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to prevent immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage on a provisional basis, pending the decision of the arbitrator(s) on the ultimate merits of any Dispute.

9.5 Patent Disputes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any dispute, controversy, or claim between the Parties regarding the scope, construction, validity, and enforceability of any patent shall be determined in a court or other tribunal, as the case may be, of competent jurisdiction under the applicable patent laws of such country.

9.6 Confidentiality. Any and all activities conducted under Sections 9.1 through 9.3, including without limitation any and all proceedings and decisions of arbitrator(s) under Section 9.3, shall be deemed Confidential Information of each of the Parties, and shall be subject to ARTICLE 7.

ARTICLE 10 TERM

10.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until KHL and its Affiliates, subcontractors, licensees and distributors have ceased all development, manufacture and commercialization of the Products and provided written notice to Bayer to such effect. The Parties agree that in the event of any breach of this Agreement, the Restructuring Agreement, the Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, or the TSA (to the extent in each case that a Party is a party to such agreement), this Agreement shall not terminate, but the Parties will retain the right to seek all other remedies available at law or in equity for such breach.

10.2 Survival. Expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any accrued rights or surviving obligations of the Parties. The provisions of Sections 2.3 (Releases), 2.4 (Survival of Obligations Under the Amended License Agreement), 3.1.7(c) (New Third Party Agreements), 4.2 (Bayer Retained IP), 4.3.2 (Bayer Retained Patents), 4.3.3 (KHL Assumed Patents), 6.3 (Non-Disparagement), 10.2 (Survival), and ARTICLE 1 (Definitions), ARTICLE 7 (Confidentiality and Disclosure), ARTICLE 8 (Indemnification), ARTICLE 9 (Dispute Resolution), and ARTICLE 11 (Miscellaneous) shall survive the expiration of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

ARTICLE 11 MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the Amended License Agreement, the Restructuring Agreement, the TSA, the Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, including the Exhibits, schedules and attachments hereto and thereto, set forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede, as of the Effective Date, all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as are set forth herein and therein. For clarity, this Agreement does not supersede the Restructuring Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect as provided therein. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party.

11.2 Notices. KHL hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as its agent for service of process to receive on its behalf service of process in respect of any and all proceedings arising out of or related to this Agreement. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement, and shall be addressed to the appropriate Party at the address specified below or such other address as may be specified by such Party in writing in accordance with this Section 11.2, and shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes (a) when received, if hand-delivered or sent by confirmed facsimile or a reputable courier service, or (b) five (5) Business Days after mailing, if mailed by first class certified or registered airmail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. KHL agrees that the failure by a process agent to notify it of any process will not invalidate the relevant proceedings. Furthermore, this clause does not affect any other method of service allowed by law.

11.3 No Strict Construction; Headings. This Agreement has been prepared jointly and shall not be strictly construed against either Party. Ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement shall not be construed against either Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision. The headings of each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section.

11.4 Assignment; Change in Control.

11.4.1 Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, and subject to the requirements of this Agreement, no Party may assign or transfer this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except that a Party may make such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to (a) any of its Affiliates or (b) a successor in a Change in Control. Any permitted successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations hereunder shall, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 11.4 shall be null, void and of no legal effect.

11.4.2 For clarity, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict KHL or its Affiliates from assigning any right, title or interest in or to any revenues from sales of Products to any Third Party in connection with a monetization transaction, provided that KHL otherwise complies with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

11.4.3 KHL shall not assign to any Third Party any intellectual property necessary or useful for the development, manufacture or sale of the Compound or Products unless such Third Party agrees in writing to make all milestone payments set forth in Section 5.3 directly to Bayer that would otherwise be due to Bayer if such intellectual property had not been so assigned and the activities of such Third Party with respect to Compound and Product had been activities of KHL.

11.5 Further Actions. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

11.6 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 shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall 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.

11.7 No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

11.8 Independent Contractors. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed to create the relationship of partners, principal and agent, or joint-venture partners between the Parties.

11.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than Bayer and KHL and their Affiliates, and no other person shall be considered a third party beneficiary of the rights granted to any of Bayer or KHL or their Affiliates under this Agreement.

11.10 English Language. This Agreement was prepared in the English language, which language shall govern the interpretation of, and any dispute regarding, the terms of this Agreement. To the extent this Agreement requires a Party to provide to the other Party Information, correspondence, notice and/or other documentation, such Party shall provide such Information, correspondence, notice and/or other documentation in the English language.

11.11 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State

of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction.

11.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
