Dear ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇:

This letter will constitute notice that the [***] Collaboration Program is hereby terminated by Takeda pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 14.3 of the Agreement, effective sixty (60) days from the date of this notice (or earlier if mutually agreed by the parties). This decision was taken after discussion with the JSC earlier this month, and it is our understanding that the JSC is aligned with and understands the rationale. Please be assured that Takeda will continue to comply fully with all applicable obligations under the Agreement and the Side Letter with respect to the termination and wind-down process for this Program.

Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement and the Side Letter. Except as expressly set forth herein, this letter shall not constitute a waiver or amendment of any other rights or obligations of the Agreement or the Side Letter.

Very truly yours,

Takeda
