TARGET NOMINATION

3.1

Selection of Accepted Fcab Targets. Denali has the right to nominate up to three Targets for approval as Accepted Fcab Targets. Prior to the Effective Date, TfR has been accepted by the Parties as the first such Accepted Fcab Target. Denali may nominate up to two further Accepted Fcab Targets as follows:

Confidential

- 37 -

3.1.1

The second and third Fcab are both to be directed against Targets which have been selected with the aim to facilitate transcytosis of the resulting mAb² across the blood-brain barrier.

3.1.2

The second and third Fcab Targets shall be nominated no later than thirty-six (36) months after the Effective Date provided always that if Licensor is requested to commence work on an Fcab Discovery Plan within [***] of the commencement of work on a prior Fcab Discovery Plan it’s obligation shall be subject to Licensor and/or F-star Ltd having the resources available to undertake such work.

3.1.3

Denali shall nominate a proposed Accepted Fcab Target by providing a notice to Licensor (an “Fcab Target Nomination Notice”). Such notice must include the Entrez Gene ID, HUGO or official symbol and common synonyms (if available) for such Target. On receipt of such notice Licensor shall submit the Fcab to the Gatekeeper. Within ten (10) Business Days following the Gatekeeper’s receipt of the Fcab Target Nomination Notice with respect to a particular Target, the Gatekeeper shall verify whether such Target is on the list of Unavailable Fcab Targets and notify Licensor in writing. On receipt of a response from the Gatekeeper, Licensor shall notify Denali whether the Proposed Fcab Target is an Available Fcab Target. An Available Fcab Target is a Target in respect of which the Licensor is entitled to exercise the rights set out in the Gamma IP License to nominate as an Accepted Fcab Target and which is not an Unavailable Fcab Target. The Gatekeeper shall maintain an up-to-date list of Unavailable Fcab Targets (“Unavailable Fcab Targets”). An Unavailable Fcab Target shall only be a Target that is:

(a)

the subject of a pre-existing and bona fide internal Fcab program of Licensor, F-star GmbH, F-star Ltd or their respective Affiliates

Confidential

- 38 -

on which Licensor, F-star GmbH, F-star Ltd or their respective Affiliates are then expending resources to the active research, Development or Commercialization of such program and have committed resources to the continued research, Development or Commercialization of such program in the upcoming twelve (12) months,

(b)

under an active, executed written agreement between one or more of Licensor, F-star GmbH, F-star Ltd or their respective Affiliates and a Third Party that would preclude the grant of a license or exclusivity to such Target, or

(c)

the subject of bona fide, ongoing negotiations between one or more of Licensor, F-star GmbH, F-star Ltd or their respective Affiliates and a Third Party where such negotiations specifically contemplate that a license or exclusivity would be granted to such Target and a written term sheet (or other written statement (including by email) of the scope and corresponding financial terms of such potential agreement) has been received or delivered by or to Licensor, F-star GmbH, F-star Ltd or their respective Affiliates.

3.1.4

If the Fcab Target is an Unavailable Fcab Target then, subject to Section 3.1.2, Denali shall be entitled to nominate a different Target as a proposed Accepted Fcab Target and the provisions of this Section 3.1 shall apply to such proposed Accepted Fcab Target.

3.1.5

If the Fcab Target is an Available Fcab Target then Licensor shall prepare an Fcab Discovery Plan for such proposed Accepted Fcab Target and shall submit such plan to Denali. If, based on the Fcab Discovery Plan, Licensor considers that the Fcab Target is not suitable for the generation of Fcabs and

Confidential

- 39 -

mAb² it shall inform Denali and, the JSC shall meet within thirty (30) days of such Licensor informing Denali to consider the suitability of such Fcab Target for the generation of Fcabs. If the JSC agrees with Licensor then Denali shall be entitled to nominate a different Target as a proposed Accepted Fcab Target and the provisions of this Section 3.1 shall apply to such proposed Accepted Fcab Target.

3.1.6

Within thirty (30) days of submission of an Fcab Discovery Plan by Licensor to Denali the JSC shall meet to agree on the Fcab Discovery Plan; and on such agreement, the proposed Accepted Fcab Target shall become an Accepted Fcab Target. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the terms of the Fcab Discovery Plan, then provided a new Fcab Discovery Plan is substantially similar in scope to the TfR Fcab Discovery Plan (attached hereto as Exhibit 1.51), requires similar resources from Licensor and the Fcab Delivery Criteria have been agreed by both Parties (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Licensor shall agree to such new Fcab Discovery Plan.

3.2

On an Accepted Fcab Target-by-Accepted Fcab Target basis, at any point prior to the exercise of the Buy-out Option or, in the event that Denali does not exercise the Buy-out Option, at any time thereafter, Denali shall be entitled, subject to Section 14.9(c), to have up to eight (8) Fabs as Accepted Fab Targets for each then existing Accepted Fcab Target. Each nomination shall be specific to the Fcab Target in respect of which it was nominated. For the avoidance of doubt, the eight (8) Accepted Fab Targets shall include any Accepted Fab Target that is the subject of a License Option. Denali may abandon any Accepted Fab Target (including by reason of written notice by Denali of its decision to terminate the License Option Term pursuant to Section 14.5) by providing written notice identifying such abandoned Accepted Fab Target to Licensor and Gatekeeper, and such Accepted Fab Target shall cease to be an Accepted Fab Target on receipt of such notice by Licensor. If an Accepted Fab Target ceases to be an

Confidential

- 40 -

Accepted Fab Target, then, subject to Section 14.9(c), Denali would have the right to nominate another Accepted Fab Target with respect to the Accepted Fcab Target but, subject to Section 14.9(c), in no event shall there be more than eight (8) Accepted Fab Targets for each Accepted Fcab Target at any one time.

3.3

To select an Accepted Fab Target, Denali shall provide the Gatekeeper with a confidential notice (the “Fab Target Notice”) that shall include: (i) a written description of each Target proposed for nomination as an Accepted Fab Target; and (ii) a written description of the Accepted Fcab Target in respect of which the Accepted Fab Target is being nominated and in the case of each Target such notice must include the Entrez Gene ID, HUGO UniProt, SwissProt and other gene/protein listing database and official symbol and common synonyms (if available) for such Target. Within ten (10) Business Days following the Gatekeeper’s receipt of the Fab Target Notice with respect to a particular Target, the Gatekeeper shall verify whether such Target is on the list of Unavailable Fab Targets and notify Denali in writing (“Gatekeeper Notice”) whether such proposed Target is or is not on the Unavailable Fab Target list. In addition to the foregoing clearance process, if a proposed Accepted Fab Target is an Incorporated Biologic, then Denali and Licensor shall in good faith discuss and attempt to reach agreement on the scope of the Target definition with respect to such Incorporated Biologic, taking into account the requirement that exclusivity should be specific to the intended therapeutic approach (analogous to target based exclusivity for Accepted Fab Targets) and ability of the Gatekeeper to subsequently clear targets submitted by other licensees. If the Parties are unable to agree upon such scope, then the Parties shall resolve the Dispute in accordance with Section 15.7. An “Unavailable Fab Target” is a Target which is:

(a)

the subject of a pre-existing and bona fide internal program of Licensor, F-star GmbH, F-star Ltd or their respective Affiliates on which Licensor, F-star GmbH, F-star Ltd or their respective Affiliates are then expending resources to the active research, Development or Commercialization of such program and have committed resources to the continued research, Development or Commercialization of such program in the upcoming twelve (12) months,

Confidential

- 41 -

(b)

under an active, executed written agreement between one or more of Licensor, F-star GmbH, F-star Ltd or their respective Affiliates and a Third Party that specifically includes a license grant or exclusivity to such Target, or

(c)

the subject of ongoing bona fide negotiations between one or more of Licensor, F-star GmbH, F-star Ltd or their respective Affiliates and a Third Party where such negotiations specifically contemplate that a license or exclusivity would be granted to such Target and a written term sheet (or other written statement (including by email) of the scope and corresponding financial terms of such potential agreement) has been received or delivered by or to Licensor, F-star GmbH, F-star Ltd or their respective Affiliates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the expiration of the Buy-out Option Period, no Fab Target shall be an Unavailable Fab Target.

3.4

If the Gatekeeper Notice indicates that the Target is not on the Unavailable Target list, the proposed Target shall automatically be an Accepted Fab Target (“Accepted Fab Target”), and Denali shall, within thirty (30) days of the Gatekeeper Notice provide to Licensor a preliminary mAb² Development Plan for the relevant mAb² and on receipt of such plan by the Licensor, the Parties will have all rights and obligations hereunder in connection with such Accepted Fab Target (including exclusivity in accordance with ARTICLE 6) as of the date of receipt. If the Gatekeeper Notice indicates that the proposed Target is on the Unavailable Target list, then Denali shall have the right to nominate an alternative Accepted Fab Target in accordance with Section 3.3. In all cases, Denali acknowledges and agrees that the first person or entity to submit a Target Notice to the Gatekeeper for such Target will be entitled to be granted rights to such Target.

DEVELOPMENT AND REGULATORY

4.1

Technical Development Activities. Subject to Section 10.1, during the Technical Development Term Denali may conduct the Technical Development activities. Denali shall keep the JSC informed of such activities and the Parties shall discuss the same at each JSC meeting. Denali shall promptly provide to F-star Ltd a copy (in the form of a glycerol stock) of each Denali Library on its creation. Neither Licensor, nor F-star Ltd or F-star GmbH shall use any Denali Library to screen or identify Fcabs against any Accepted Fcab Targets.

4.2

Fcab Discovery Plan. Following agreement of an Fcab Discovery Plan by the JSC in respect of an Accepted Fcab Target Denali shall transfer to Licensor all of the information and materials set out in the relevant Fcab Discovery Plan. Licensor shall not be obliged to commence any work on the discovery of Fcabs unless and until it has received the materials (including antigen and assays) from Denali as provided for in the Fcab Discovery Plan. On receipt of such information and materials each Party shall, subject to Section 4.7 and subject to Section 9.2 carry out its responsibilities under the Fcab Discovery Plan. Any disputes related to preparation of or amendment to the Fcab Discovery Plan shall be handled in accordance with Section 2.8.

4.3

Fcab Delivery. Licensor will be providing Fcab sequences to Denali as they are developed under the Fcab Discovery Plan and the Parties shall collaborate in good faith to identify which sequence is most likely to give the best chance of the Fcab meeting the Fcab Delivery Criteria. When Licensor reasonably considers that it has an Fcab that will meet the Fcab Delivery Criteria, it shall disclose to Denali the Fcab sequence (the “Proposed Fcab”), and notify Denali that the Fcab sequence is the Proposed Sequence, and shall also disclose the other information and materials provided for in the Fcab Discovery Plan to Denali. Denali shall have the Fcab Validation Period to review the data and to conduct the Fcab validation experiment(s) set out in the Fcab Discovery

Plan for the Proposed Fcab. For clarity, (a) the Parties anticipate that Licensor will be providing Fcab sequences to Denali as they are developed under the Fcab Discovery Plan and leading up to the disclosure of the Proposed Fcab, (b) whilst the Parties shall collaborate in good faith to identify which sequence is most likely to give the best chance of the Fcab meeting the Fcab Delivery Criteria, [***], (c) all validation experiment(s) carried out for the purposes of this Section 4.3 and 9.11 shall be carried out in accordance with the protocol agreed by the JSC and (d) Denali is only obligated to conduct such Fcab validation experiment(s) [***] for an Fcab provided by Licensor for each Accepted Fcab Target, except that Denali will conduct [***] additional validation experiment(s) in accordance with Section 9.11. As soon as reasonably possible after completion of the validation experiment(s), Denali shall inform Licensor:

4.3.1

that it agrees with Licensor that the Fcab Delivery Criteria have been sufficiently met then “Fcab Delivery” shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that Denali has made such determination after analysing the results of the validation experiment(s); or

4.3.2

that it disagrees with Licensor that the Fcab Delivery Criteria have been sufficiently met, in which case it shall identify in what respect the Fcab Delivery Criteria have not been sufficiently met. Promptly on such occurrence the JSC shall meet to determine what (if any) further work is necessary to achieve the Fcab Delivery Criteria. The Parties may agree to amend the Fcab Discovery Plan for such Fcab. Notwithstanding the foregoing Denali may decide to declare that Fcab Delivery has occurred even if not all of the Fcab Delivery Criteria have been met.

4.4

In the event that Licensor and Denali cannot agree that the Fcab Delivery Criteria have been met then the relevant Fcabs shall be provided to an independent laboratory agreed by both Parties and the relevant laboratory shall undertake the Fcab validation experiment(s) provided for in the Fcab Discovery Plan. The conclusions of the

Withholding Taxes. When a Party becomes aware that it will have an obligation to deduct or withhold an amount for or on account of tax from any payment under this Agreement it shall notify the Party who is entitled to receive the payment in writing as soon as reasonably practicable and the Parties shall use their reasonable endeavours to do all such acts and things and to sign all such documents as will enable them to take advantage of any applicable double taxation agreement, treaty or domestic exemption which may apply to eliminate or reduce withholding taxes and otherwise provide the other Party such assistance as is reasonably required to obtain a refund of the withheld or similar taxes, or obtain a credit with respect to such taxes. In the event there is no applicable double taxation agreement, treaty or domestic exemption, or if an applicable double taxation agreement, treaty or domestic exemption reduces but does not eliminate such withholding or similar tax, the payor shall deduct the amount paid from the amount due to the payee, remit such withholding or similar tax to the appropriate tax authority and secure and send to the payee reasonable evidence of the payment of such withholding or similar tax.

Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time).

13.4

Control of Defense.

13.4.1

In General. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4, at its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is

Confidential

- 106 -

liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 13.4.2, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim unless specifically requested in writing by the indemnifying Party. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.

13.4.2

Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 13.4.1, any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (a) the employment thereof, and the assumption by the indemnifying Party of such expense, has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing, (b) the indemnifying Party has failed

Confidential

- 107 -

to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 13.4.1 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (c) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

13.4.3

Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that shall not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affecting the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 13.4.1, the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided, that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or dispose of, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the written consent of the indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Confidential

- 108 -

13.4.4

Cooperation. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

13.4.5

Expenses. Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim shall be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis in arrears by the indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

9.2.

In the event of any Reorganisation with respect to the Option Shares occurring after the date of this Agreement but before Completion, all references in this Agreement to specified numbers of Option Shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of Option Shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the Parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such Reorganisation.

(a)

the Shareholder Arrangements are hereby terminated;

(b)

any and all rights of any Seller and/or any of its Affiliates and any and all obligations of the Company under, pursuant to or in connection with the Shareholder Arrangements, along with any other claim or demand of any Seller or any of its Affiliates against the Company, which are subsisting or outstanding at the date of this Agreement are expressly waived and released, including any and all such rights and obligations, claims and demands which may have accrued in respect of any period prior to Completion; and

(c)

any and all other debts or liabilities (whether actual, contingent or prospective and including any interest thereon) of the Company to any Seller under, pursuant to or in connection with the Shareholder Arrangements or otherwise which are subsisting or outstanding at the date of this Agreement are expressly waived, released and discharged.

10.5.

Each Seller shall ensure that at Completion there will be no amounts owing by the Company to such Seller in respect of itself and its Affiliates only, other than by way of accrued but unpaid salary or consultancy fees or unreimbursed expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice owed to employees or consultants of the Company.

12.5.

The Sellers’ Representative may resign at any time. The Sellers’ Representative may consult with any Seller to the extent a claim is threatened or pursued by the Buyer in respect of any breach of, or right under, this Agreement or any other Transactional Document and which specifically concerns any actual or alleged act or default of that Seller.

Confidential

12.6.

The Sellers may, by written notice signed by a Sellers Majority (a “Change Of Sellers’ Representative Notice”), replace a resigning Sellers’ Representative or remove an incumbent Sellers’ Representative from such position and appoint another person to act as Sellers’ Representative in substitution thereof (a “New Sellers’ Representative”). A Change Of Sellers’ Representative Notice shall be effective only once a copy thereof has been served on both the incumbent Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer.

12.7.

A New Sellers’ Representative so appointed shall, with effect from the time of its appointment, execute a deed of adherence in favour of the Sellers and the Buyer pursuant to which it shall agree to adhere to, and be bound by, this Agreement as though named herein as the Sellers’ Representative and the parties agree that such substitute New Sellers’ Representative shall be conferred the rights, power and authorities (including as set out in this clause 12) of the Sellers’ Representative as set out in this Agreement and entitled to directly enforce the same (notwithstanding that it may not have initially been a signatory hereto).

12.10.

All costs (including legal costs) and expenses (including Tax), in each case, of any nature whatsoever, of the Sellers’ Representative shall be borne by the Sellers in the proportions set out in column C of the table in Schedule 1 (The Sellers).

12.11.

The Sellers’ Representative shall have no liability or obligation to take any action on behalf of any Seller under the powers and authorities conferred on the Sellers’ Representative by this Agreement where such action may result in the Sellers’ Representative incurring any cost, expense or liability unless the Sellers’ Representative is satisfied with any arrangements made by (or on behalf of) the Sellers for the satisfaction or re-imbursement of such costs, expenses and liabilities.

12.12.

Upon Completion, and subject to receipt by the Sellers’ Representative of the cash sum provided for in clause 3.3(a), the Sellers’ Representative will retain an amount of [***] from such sum (the “Expense Fund”), which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Sellers’ Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Sellers will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Sellers’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Sellers’ Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds in a segregated client account, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Sellers’ Representative’s responsibilities, the Sellers’ Representative will distribute the balance of the Expense Fund to the Payments Administrator for further distribution to the Sellers. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Sellers at the time of Completion. The parties agree that the Sellers’ Representative is not responsible for any tax withholding or reporting or acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund.

12.13.

The Sellers’ Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with Sellers’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence or

Confidential

wilful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller as a result of any action or omission that is taken (or not taken) in good faith pursuant to the advice of external legal counsel in the proper performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The Sellers will, severally and not jointly, on a pro rata basis equal to the portion of Total Consideration each such Seller is entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement compared to the aggregate Total Consideration entitled to be received by all Sellers, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Sellers’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative will reimburse the Sellers the amount of such Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or wilful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Sellers’ Representative by the Sellers, any such indemnified Representative Losses may be recovered by the Sellers’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund, (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Amount at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Sellers, and (iii) from any Milestone Payments at such time as any such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Sellers; provided, that while this section allows the Sellers’ Representative to be paid from the Expense Fund, the Escrow Amount and the Milestone Payments, this does not relieve the Sellers from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Sellers’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Sellers’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Sellers or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the limitations on liability of the Sellers set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provide to the Sellers’ Representative under this clause 12.13. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Sellers’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

If the Sellers’ Representative does not within 30 calendar days of presentation to it of the Draft Completion Accounts give notice to the Buyer that it disagrees with the Draft Completion Accounts or any item therein, stating the reasons for the disagreement in reasonable detail including each disputed item, the amount in dispute and the basis for such dispute (the “Sellers’ Disagreement Notice”), the Draft Completion Accounts shall constitute the Completion Accounts and shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes in accordance with paragraph 12 of this Part A of Schedule 4.

If the Sellers’ Representative gives a Sellers’ Disagreement Notice under paragraph 3, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement in respect thereof (and, if such agreement is reached, the Draft Completion Accounts as amended by the matters set out in the Sellers’ Disagreement Notice and agreed by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative in writing shall constitute the Completion Accounts and shall be final and binding on them for all purposes in accordance with paragraph 12 of this Part A of Schedule 4). If they are unable to do so within 30 calendar days of such notification under paragraph 3 of this Part A of Schedule 4, either party may, by notice to the other (an “Appointment Notice”), require that the Draft Completion Accounts be referred to an independent firm of internationally recognised chartered accountants agreed upon by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative or, failing agreement within five (5) Business Days of service of the Appointment Notice, nominated by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales or in his/her absence a suitable deputy (the “Reporting Accountants”).

The Reporting Accountants shall act as experts and not as arbitrators and their determination of any matter falling within their jurisdiction shall be final and binding on the parties, save in the event of fraud of the Buyer, any of the Sellers or the Reporting Accountants or manifest error of the Reporting Accountants (when the relevant part of their determination shall be void). In particular, without limitation, their determination shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Draft Completion Accounts, which shall then be final and binding on the parties for the purposes of this Schedule 4, save as stated above in the event of fraud or manifest error.

8.	The Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall co-operate with the Reporting Accountants and comply with their reasonable requests made in connection with the carrying out of their duties pursuant to their engagement under the terms of this Agreement.

Subject to paragraph 10 of this Part A of Schedule 4, nothing in this Schedule 4 shall entitle the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative or the Reporting Accountants to have access to any information or document which is protected by legal professional privilege, or which has been prepared by the other party or its accountants or other professional advisers with a view to assessing the merits of any claim or argument.

10.	The Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall not be entitled by reason of paragraph 9 of this Part A of Schedule 4 to refuse to supply such part or parts of documents as contain only the facts on which the relevant claim or argument is based.

Confidential

Part D: Preparation of Management Accounts

1.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRESENTATION OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

OVERALL CONSIDERATIONS

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the management accounts are set out below.

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS

These management accounts have been prepared in accordance with EU endorsed International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) and the Companies Xxx 0000 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The management accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Confidential

ii.

GOING CONCERN

Management prepare management accounts on a going concern basis unless they intend to liquidate the business or to cease trading, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. In deciding whether the going concern basis is appropriate, the directors examine existing budgets and forecasts, assess borrowing requirements, and review other information as needed.

iii.

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE COMPANY

In any period, new or amended standards and interpretations are considered for adoption. Other standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective for the period are considered where they material to the Company.

RECEIVABLES

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value less provision for impairment. The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on prior experience and management’s assessment of the collectability of existing specific accounts.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

EQUITY AND RESERVES

Ordinary and preferred shares are classified as equity. Issued capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Retained earnings includes all current period retained profits and accumulated losses.

TRADE PAYABLES

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade and other payables are stated at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these liabilities. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one period or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Confidential

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is stated net of value added taxes. Revenue is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and those benefits can be measured reliably. Revenue on the sale of an asset (e.g. the outright sale or assignment of a licence) is only recognised when, inter alia, the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the Company does not retain either control of the goods, or continuing involvement, to the degree associated with ownership.

Where, as part of a licence agreement, services are performed by an indeterminate number of acts over a specified period of time, revenue for such services is recognised on a straight-line basis over the specified period unless there is evidence that some other method represents better the stage of completion.

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

A share option compensation charge is not recognised in the monthly management accounts.

TAXATION AND DEFERRED TAX

A tax credit or charge is not reflected in the monthly management accounts.

Deferred tax is not reflected in the monthly management accounts.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FINANCIAL ASSETS

All financial assets relate to trade and other receivables, which are stated at their recoverable amount, which approximates the fair value due to the short term nature of these assets.

ii.

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY

The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and as such is exposed to currency risk due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

iii.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Trade and other payables are stated at cost. This approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these liabilities.

Confidential

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Foreign currency transactions are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the dates of the transaction. Resulting foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on foreign exchange are recognised in the income statement.

Confidential

2.2.

If at any time the Sellers have a reasonable basis to believe that the Buyer is in material breach of its obligations under paragraph 2.1 of Schedule 5 and such material breach has continued for a period of at least [***] (a “Continuing Material Breach”), then the Sellers shall cause the Sellers’ Representative to deliver written notice (the “Default Notice”) of such Continuing Material Breach to the Buyer and, if the Buyer fails to remedy such Continuing Material Breach within 60 days of receipt of the Default Notice, then the provisions of paragraph 2.3 shall apply.

Confidential

2.3.

If the Buyer is in Continuing Material Breach of its obligations under paragraph 2.1 and following receipt of a Default Notice fails to remedy such Continuing Material Breach within the time period set out in paragraph 2.2, then the Sellers’ Representative may, by written notice to the Buyer, elect to initiate an ADR proceeding pursuant to the procedures set forth in clause 23.3, and the arbitrators for such ADR proceeding shall be instructed and required to conduct a proceeding for the sole purposes of [***].

Press Release

F-star Announces Collaborative Agreement with Denali Therapeutics for the

Development of a Multispecific Antibody Platform to Deliver Therapeutics

Across the Blood-Brain Barrier

Cambridge, UK and South San Francisco, USA – 25 August 2016 – F-star, a biopharmaceutical company developing novel bispecific antibodies, announces a collaborative agreement with Denali Therapeutics Inc. (Denali), a biotechnology company focused on neurodegenerative disorders, to research and develop antibodies for the delivery of medicines across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) into the central nervous system (CNS).

The collaboration will leverage F-star’s Modular Antibody Technology^TM and Denali’s expertise in the development of therapeutics for neurological diseases to generate Fcabs^TM(constant Fc-domains with antigen-binding activity) which can bind to transporters in the BBB. Using the “plug-and-play” properties of the platform, these Fcabs can be rapidly inserted into any existing antibody to generate a full size bispecific antibody (mAb² ^TM) which can both cross the BBB, as well as bind to specific targets within the CNS. This mechanism has the potential to treat neurological diseases by acting on specific targets in the brain.

The agreement is with F-star Gamma Limited (F-star Gamma), a new Asset-Centric Vehicle in the F-star family. Under the agreement, Denali will make upfront payments to F-star totalling $6 million. Denali has the option to nominate a pre-specified number of Fcab targets. F-star Gamma will also receive research funding and is eligible for technical milestone payments. In addition, Denali also has the option to acquire F-star Gamma prior to the initiation of the first Phase 1 clinical trial in return for aggregate exercise and milestone payments to the F-star Gamma shareholders of up to $450M in total. If Denali does not exercise the option to acquire F-star Gamma, it has the right to license a pre-specified number of mAb² based on each Fcab generated by F-star Gamma, in return for license fees, development, regulatory and commercial milestones payments with a potential aggregate value of $1B and tiered royalties on product sales.

Denali’s scientists are world leaders in understanding the complex mechanisms of the blood-brain barrier and we look forward to collaborating with the team to unlock the potential of our platform and develop more efficient treatments for neurological disorders.”

Xxxx Xxxxx, CEO of Denali, said: “We are excited to partner with F-star to tackle one of the toughest problems in medicine, delivery of biologics across the blood-brain barrier. F-star’s deep expertise and proven track record of engineering novel antibodies offer a promising approach for the treatment of neurological disease.”
