All royalty payments due under Section 7.6 and Section 7.7 and Sublicensing Revenue due under Section 7.9 shall be paid within [***] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter and shall be accompanied by a report setting forth, on a country-by-country and Collaboration Product-by-Collaboration Product basis, Net Sales of Collaboration Products by the applicable Party and its Affiliates and Sublicensees and Cue Collaborators in sufficient detail to permit confirmation of the accuracy of the royalty payment made, including, for each country, the number of Collaboration Products sold, the gross sales and Net Sales of Collaboration Products, including the deductions from gross sales to arrive at Net Sales, the royalties payable, the method used to calculate the royalties, the exchange rates used and any adjustments to royalties in accordance with Section 7.6, Section 7.7, or Section 7.8, if applicable.

8.2 Exchange Rate; Manner and Place of Payment. All references to dollars and “$” herein shall refer to U.S. dollars. All payments hereunder shall be payable in U.S. dollars. When conversion of payments from any currency other than U.S. dollars is required, such conversion shall be at an exchange rate equal to the weighted average of the rates of exchange for the currency of the country from which such payments are payable as published by The Wall Street Journal, Western U.S. Edition, during the Calendar Quarter in which the applicable sales were made. All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by a Party, unless otherwise specified in writing by such Party.

(b) Tax Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to minimize or reduce tax withholding, Transfer Taxes imposed on such amounts payable by the Paying Party to the Non-Paying Party in connection with this Agreement or similar obligations in respect of royalties, Milestone Payments, and all other payments made by either Party (the “Paying Party”) to the other Party (the “Non-Paying Party”) under this Agreement. Each Party shall provide the other Party any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for the Paying Party to not withhold tax or deduct an amount of Transfer Taxes or to withhold tax or deduct Transfer Taxes at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty or otherwise. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to identify any such forms prior to the due date and the Non-Paying Party shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to the Paying Party in advance of the due date. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes, Transfer Taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party with respect to which such amount was withheld or deducted (or, if the amount was not withheld or deducted, the Party that actually bore the economic cost of the tax that is recovered).

(c) Withholding Taxes. If withholding taxes are imposed on any payment made by a Paying Party to a Non-Paying Party under this Agreement, the Paying Party shall [***]; provided, however, if the Paying Party [***], the Non-Paying Party agrees to [***]. Unless the failure by the Paying Party [***] is due to [***], the Paying Party shall [***].

(d) Transfer Taxes. All payments due by the Paying Party to the Non-Paying Party in connection with this Agreement shall be exclusive of Transfer Taxes. Any Transfer Taxes shall be deducted against the payments due to the Non-Paying Party, unless the Non-Paying Party is required by law to directly pay the applicable Transfer Taxes, in which case the Non-Paying Party shall directly pay such Transfer Taxes to the proper taxing authority. In either case, the Party responsible under Applicable Law for remitting such Transfer Taxes to the proper taxing authority shall (i) timely pay the taxes to such taxing authority and timely file any associated tax return (with the other Party cooperating in such filing to the extent required by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Party) and (ii) reasonably promptly after such filing and payment send proof of such filing and payment to the other Party in a manner and form that is reasonably acceptable to such other Party. If the Paying Party fails to deduct any required Transfer Taxes from a payment to the Non-Paying Party, the Non-Paying Party agrees to promptly, upon request, return an amount equal to such Transfer Taxes to the Paying Party for payment to the proper taxing authority. Unless the failure by the Paying Party to deduct the Transfer Taxes (or to timely pay any Transfer Taxes to the proper taxing authority) is due to the breach by the Non-Paying Party of any covenant or agreement it has made under this Agreement, the Paying Party shall be responsible for all additions to tax, interest and penalty charges imposed by the taxing authority with respect to such failure to timely withhold and/or remit the required Transfer Taxes. The Parties agree that, to the extent required by Applicable Law, Transfer Taxes shall be separately stated on any invoice or other request for payment.

Each Party shall keep, and shall cause its Affiliates to keep, complete and accurate records pertaining to its Research Costs and Development Costs in sufficient detail to permit the other Party to confirm the accuracy of payments due under Section 7.3. Such records shall be kept for such period of time required by Applicable Laws, but in no case less than [***] years following the end of the Calendar Quarter to which they pertain. Each Party shall have the right to have an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the other Party audit such records of the other Party to confirm Net Sales, milestones, royalties, Sublicensing Revenue, and payments under Section 7.3, in the case of LGC as audited Party, and to confirm Net Sales, royalties, Sublicense Revenue, and payments under Section 7.3, in the case of Cue as audited Party, for a period covering not more than [***] years following the Calendar Quarter to which they pertain. Such audits may be exercised only once for any period and no more than once per Calendar Year during normal business hours and on a mutually agreeable date (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) upon at least [***] days prior written notice to the audited Party. Any such auditor shall not disclose the audited Party’s confidential information to the auditing Party, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports or invoices furnished by the audited Party or the amount of payments by the audited Party under this Agreement. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid shall be paid within [***] days after the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 8.5) from the original due date. Any overpayment by the audited Party revealed by an audit shall be credited against future payments owed by the audited Party to the other Party (and if no further payments are due, shall be refunded by the auditing Party at the request of the audited Party). The auditing Party shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment or overcharge by the audited Party of more than [***] of the amount of royalties or other payments due under this Agreement for the audited period, in which case, the audited Party shall bear the cost of such audit.

8.5 Late Payments. In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not paid when due in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the payment shall accrue interest from the date due at the rate of [***] per month; provided, however, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate. The payment of such interest shall not limit the Party entitled to receive payment from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

Cue Biopharma Announces Strategic Collaboration with LG Chem Life Sciences for

Immuno-STAT™ Biologics in Oncology

Collaboration Expands Development and Manufacturing of Immuno-STAT™ Biologics and

Broadens Coverage of Patient Populations

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. xx, 2018 – Cue Biopharma™, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUE), an innovative immunotherapy company developing a novel, proprietary class of biologics engineered to selectively modulate the human immune system to treat cancer, autoimmune and chronic infectious diseases, announced today that it has entered into a multi-target strategic collaboration with LG Chem Life Sciences, the life sciences division of LG Chem Ltd., to develop multiple Immuno-STAT biologics focused in the field of oncology.

The collaboration provides LG Chem with the rights to develop and commercialize, in Asia, Cue Biopharma’s lead product, CUE-101, as well as Immuno-STAT biologics that target T cells against two additional cancer antigens. Under the terms of the collaboration, Cue Biopharma will engineer the selected Immuno-STATs for up to three alleles, while LG Chem will leverage its experience in biologics manufacturing to establish a quality chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) process for development and commercialization of the selected candidates. LG Chem will also retain the right to elect one additional Immuno-STAT biologic within two years of the agreement for a worldwide development and commercialization license, and Cue Biopharma will retain an option to co-develop and co-commercialize the additional program worldwide. Cue Biopharma retains rights to develop and commercialize all assets included in the agreement in the United States and in global markets outside of Asia.

Under the terms of the agreement, LG Chem will make an undisclosed upfront payment as well as a $5M equity investment at a 20% premium. Cue Biopharma will be eligible to receive up to an additional $400M in research, development, regulatory and sales milestone payments with tiered royalties on sales of collaboration products in the LG Chem territory. In addition, LG Chem will further contribute to the collaboration by providing Cue Biopharma with research funding, CMC process development and potentially additional downstream manufacturing capabilities, including clinical and commercial supply for the collaboration products. LG Chem in return will receive royalties on sales of collaboration products in Cue Biopharma’s territories outside of Asia. If LG Chem elects the option for an additional program worldwide, Cue Biopharma will receive an undisclosed payment and be eligible to receive greater than $500M in fees and milestone payments. Cue Biopharma will also receive tiered royalties on future global sales. In addition, prior to the first pivotal trial for the optional Immuno-STATs, Cue Biopharma will have the option to elect worldwide co-development rights for the additional program.

“Cue Biopharma is proud to be launching this strategic collaboration with LG Chem as our partner,” stated ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇▇., ▇.▇., President and CEO of Cue Biopharma. “We believe they offer world-class biologics capabilities as well as clinical development capabilities that will enhance our ability to achieve our global corporate objectives. Our partnership with LG Chem is an important strategic development, as it allows us to expand our reach into more diverse patient populations with our Immuno-STAT™ Biologics platform and leverage the leading biologics manufacturing and clinical development capabilities that LG Chem has successfully established.”

“We are very pleased to enter this strategic collaboration with Cue Biopharma; it is more than a licensing deal, it is a partnership with a shared vision and great strategic fit,” said Dr. Jeewoong Son, President of LG Chem Life Sciences. “By combining Cue Biopharma’s pioneering approach to selectively modulating disease-associated T cells with LG Chem’s biologics capabilities in development and manufacturing, we aim to accelerate bringing this novel therapy to a greater number of cancer patients.”

About Immuno-STATs

Immuno-STAT Biologics are designed for targeted modulation of disease-associated T cells in the areas of immuno-oncology, autoimmune and chronic infectious disease. Each of our biologic drugs is designed using our proprietary scaffold comprising: 1) a peptide-MHC complex (pMHC) to provide selectivity through the pMHC T-cell receptor (TCR) interaction, and 2) a unique co-stimulatory signaling molecule to modulate the activity of the target T cells.

The simultaneous engagement of co-stimulatory molecules and pMHC binding mimics the signals delivered by APCs to T cells during a natural immune response. This design enables Immuno-STAT Biologics to engage with the T cell population of interest exclusively, resulting in highly targeted T cell modulation. Because our drugs are delivered in vivo, they are fundamentally different from other T cell therapeutic approaches such as Adoptive Cell Therapy (ACT), which require the patients’ T cells to be extracted, then stimulated and expanded outside the body (ex vivo) and reinfused in an activated state. At Cue Biopharma we are working to develop drugs that will represent a potent pharmaceutical analog to the ex vivo approach deployed by current cellular therapies. Furthermore, we believe the pharmacological effect in the patients can be more precisely controlled via an administered therapeutic.

About Cue Biopharma

Cue Biopharma is an innovative immunotherapy company developing a novel, proprietary class of biologics engineered to selectively modulate the human immune system to treat a broad range of cancers, autoimmune and chronic infectious diseases. We design biologics to engage and modulate the activity of disease-associated T cells in the patient’s body, with the goal of offering significant therapeutic benefits while potentially minimizing or eliminating unwanted side effects.

We believe our selective biologics allow us to target antigen-specific T cell populations in a variety of indications using a peptide – MHC complex for delivering T cell modulating effectors, such as IL-2. Once a biologic has been optimized, our approach offers the potential for readily exchanging peptides to target different T cell populations and indications using previously-validated drug frameworks developed from the Immuno-STATTM (Selective Targeting and Alteration of T cells) platform. This flexibility could truncate the drug selection and development process, moving effective therapeutics from discovery to clinical validation more rapidly and cost-efficiently than current industry standard timelines and costs.

Headquartered in Cambridge, MA, we are led by an experienced management team and scientific and clinical advisory board (SAB/CAB) with deep expertise in the design and clinical development of protein biologics, immunology and immuno-oncology.
