NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(1)

Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Cullinan Oncology, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries ("Cullinan" or the "Company"), is a biopharmaceutical company developing a diversified pipeline of targeted oncology therapeutic candidates across multiple modalities for cancer patients. Cullinan’s predecessor company, Cullinan Pharmaceuticals, LLC was formed in September 2016 and was subsequently renamed Cullinan Oncology, LLC (the "LLC") in November 2017. The LLC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cullinan Management, Inc. ("Management"), was formed in September 2016 and became the surviving entity in a reverse merger with the LLC in January 2021. In February 2021, the Company changed its name from Cullinan Management, Inc. to Cullinan Oncology, Inc.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had three development subsidiaries ("Asset Subsidiaries"): Cullinan Amber Corp. ("Cullinan Amber"), Cullinan Florentine Corp. ("Cullinan Florentine") and Cullinan MICA Corp. ("Cullinan MICA"). As of December 31, 2021, the Company had four Asset Subsidiaries: Cullinan Amber, Cullinan Florentine, Cullinan MICA and Cullinan Pearl Corp. ("Cullinan Pearl").

The Company completed the sale of its partially-owned subsidiary, Cullinan Pearl, to Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“Taiho”) in June 2022. Refer to Note 3 for additional details relating to the transaction. The sale of Cullinan Pearl did not meet the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Therefore, prior period consolidated financial statements and disclosures have not been retroactively restated to reflect the impact of the sale of Cullinan Pearl.

Reorganization, Reverse Stock Split and Initial Public Offering

In January 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") in which it issued and sold 13,685,000 shares of its common stock, including 1,785,000 shares sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $21.00 per share. The shares began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 8, 2021 under the symbol “CGEM”. The net proceeds received by the Company from the offering were $264.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses.

Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement, the Company completed its reorganization, whereby the LLC merged with and into Management and Management was the surviving entity. Management was the registrant in the IPO.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred operating losses, with the exception of the one-time gain on the sale of Cullinan Pearl in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ultimate success depends on the outcome of its research and development activities as well as the ability to commercialize the Company’s product candidates. The Company is subject to a number of risks including, but not limited to, the need to obtain adequate additional funding for the ongoing and planned clinical development of its product candidates. Due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with pharmaceutical products and development, the Company is unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of funds required to complete development of its product candidates, and costs could exceed the Company’s expectations for a number of reasons, including reasons beyond the Company’s control.

In June 2022, the Company completed the sale of its partially-owned subsidiary, Cullinan Pearl, to Taiho for an upfront payment of $275.0 million. Refer to Note 3 for additional details relating to the transaction.

Since inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and from licensing or selling the rights to its product candidates. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $611.0 million and long-term investments and interest receivable of $44.6 million as of June 30, 2022, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements. Interest receivable is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and represents accrued and unpaid interest on the Company's marketable securities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cullinan’s significant accounting policies have not changed materially from those disclosed in its annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2022 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 10-K”), except for its accounting policy for leases.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting and include the accounts of the Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary, and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company considers consolidation of entities over which control is achieved by means other than voting rights. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates as one segment, which is developing early-stage cancer therapeutics. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, and necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2021 10-K.

Leases

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted a new standard on leases (as amended, "ASC 842"), which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for all leases, except certain short-term leases. In connection with its implementation of ASC 842, the Company adopted a package of three practical expedients, allowing it to carry forward its previous lease classification and embedded lease evaluations and not to reassess initial direct costs as of the date of adoption. The Company also adopted a practical expedient that allows it to combine lease and non-lease components for its real estate leases.

The Company’s existing lease obligations relating to a single corporate location is subject to the new standard and resulted in operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets ("ROU") being recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on the implementation date. The existing lease obligation is classified as an operating lease.

The below table details the balance sheet adjustments recorded on January 1, 2022 in connection with the Company’s adoption of ASC 842 (in thousands):


	December 31, 2021					January 1, 2022
	As Reported under ASC 840		ASC 842 Adjustments			As Reported Under ASC 842
Assets
Operating lease right-of-use asset	$	—	$	1,311		$	1,311
Liabilities
Current portion of operating lease liabilities	$	—	$	505		$	505
Deferred rent	$	65	$	(65	)	$	—
Noncurrent portion of operating lease liabilities	$	—	$	871		$	871

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company classifies leases at the lease commencement date as operating or finance leases and records an ROU asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet for all leases with an initial lease term of greater than 12 months. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet, and payments are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company enters into contracts that contain both lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components may include maintenance, utilities, and other operating costs. The Company combines the lease and non-lease components of fixed costs in its lease arrangements as a single lease component. Variable costs, such as utilities or maintenance costs, are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities but rather are expensed when the event determining the amount of variable consideration to be paid occurs.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term using the discount rate implicit in the lease. If the discount rate is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate based upon the available information at the lease commencement date. Operating lease assets are further adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments. Operating lease payments are expensed using the straight-line method as an operating expense over the lease term. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which is a new standard intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.

Sale of Cullinan Pearl and Co-Development Agreement with Taiho

In June 2022, the Company sold its partially owned-subsidiary, Cullinan Pearl, which has worldwide rights to CLN-081 excluding Japan and Greater China, to Taiho for an upfront payment of $275.0 million, with an increase to the purchase price in the amount of $2.9 million for cash held by Cullinan Pearl that was transferred with the sale. As of June 30, 2022, $5.0 million of the upfront payment was held in escrow. The escrow amount was classified within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and will be released to the Company once the Company and Taiho finalize any post-sale net working capital adjustment, which is not expected to be material. Pursuant to the share purchase agreement with Taiho, the Company is also eligible to receive an additional $130.0 million tied to epidermal growth factor receptor exon20 non-small-cell lung cancer regulatory milestones.

The Company concluded the transaction was a sale of non-financial assets, which comprised mainly of intellectual property rights and related intangible assets, and that it transferred control of the non-financial assets at the closing of the sale. The Company recognized a gain on sale of Cullinan Pearl of $276.8 million within income from operations in its consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The table below sets forth the book value of the Cullinan Pearl assets and liabilities sold along with the calculation of the gain on sale based on the cash consideration received.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Cullinan Pearl issued $2.2 million of convertible notes to an affiliate of Taiho. The Company repaid these convertible notes at the closing of the Cullinan Pearl sale.

Co-Development Agreement with Taiho

In June 2022, concurrently with the closing of the sale of Cullinan Pearl, the Company entered into a co-development agreement with an affiliate of Taiho, pursuant to which the Company will collaborate to develop CLN-081 and will retain the option to co-commercialize CLN-081 in the U.S. Taiho has the exclusive right to commercialize CLN-081 in territories outside the U.S., excluding Greater China. Development costs for CLN-081 incurred after the sale of Cullinan Pearl shall be shared equally between Taiho and the Company with each party receiving 50% of any future pre-tax profits from potential U.S. sales of CLN-081.

The Company concluded that the co-development agreement with Taiho is a collaborative arrangement because the Company is an active participant in the development of CLN-081. Payments made to or received from Taiho for CLN-081 development activities after the sale are recorded within research and development expenses.

Equity-Based Compensation

Market-based restricted stock units ("RSUs")

In June 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to grant market-based RSUs to its Chief Executive Officer. For equity awards with a market-based vesting condition, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period using the fair value at the grant date. The number of shares issuable, if any, when a market-based RSU award vests, will depend on the degree of achievement of the corporate stock price metrics within the performance period of the award.

The Company measures the fair value of market-based RSUs on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation requires the input of assumptions, including the Company's stock price, the volatility of its stock price, remaining term in years, expected dividend yield and risk-free rate. The Company used its own trading history to calculate the expected volatility of the market-based RSUs granted. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to implied yields available from U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining term equal to the expected term assumed at the grant date.

The following table details the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model used to estimate the fair value of the market-based RSUs granted:


	Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
Stock price	$	12.98
Volatility		82.5	%
Remaining term (years)		2.7
Risk-free rate		2.9	%
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%

The Company recorded equity-based compensation in the following expense categories in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss):

Related Party Transactions

Royalty Transfer Agreements

Each of the Asset Subsidiaries is party to royalty transfer agreements with MPM Oncology Charitable Foundation, Inc. and UBS Optimus Foundation (together, the "Foundations"). Under each of these respective agreements, each Foundation is entitled to receive a royalty equal to 0.5% (1.0% in aggregate) of all global net sales of any products developed by the applicable subsidiary, subject to limitations after patent expirations and on intellectual property developed after a change of control. The Company has deemed these royalty transfer agreements to be freestanding financial instruments that should be accounted for at fair value. The Company has concluded that these instruments had no value at the inception of the agreements.

Given the early-stage nature of the underlying technologies and inherent technical, regulatory and competitive risks associated with achieving approval and commercialization, the Company ascribed no value to the royalty transfer agreements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company currently does not have any applicable net sales from its products and as a result, has not paid or incurred any royalties under these agreements as of June 30, 2022. The Company will monitor these instruments for changes in fair value at each reporting date.

(10)

Income Taxes

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $66.1 million and $46.5 million, respectively. The tax provision recorded for the period ended June 30, 2022 was driven by the expected tax from the gain on sale of Cullinan Pearl, partially offset by the release of valuation allowance for the expected utilization of current year and certain historical tax attributes against the gain from the sale. Refer to Note 3 for additional details on this transaction. The Company did not record an income tax benefit or expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which primarily consist of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has considered its history of cumulative net losses, estimated future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets, outside of the tax losses that will be utilized against the gain on sale of Cullinan Pearl. As a result, as of June 30, 2022, the Company has maintained a full valuation allowance against its remaining net deferred tax assets.

(11)

Commitment and Contingencies

The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, and other third parties for preclinical research studies, clinical trials and testing and manufacturing services. These contracts do not contain minimum purchase commitments and are cancelable upon prior written notice. Payments due upon cancellation consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including noncancelable obligations of service providers, up to the date of cancellation.

Indemnification agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessor, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in certain cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not aware of any indemnification arrangements that could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Legal proceedings

The Company is not currently party to or aware of any material legal proceedings. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. The Company expenses as incurred the costs related to such legal proceedings.

(12)

Leases

The Company has an operating lease for 7,531 rentable square feet of office space in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which commenced on February 1, 2018 and expires on June 30, 2024. Lease expense consisted of operating lease costs of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Rent expense under the prior lease accounting standard was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

The following table summarizes supplemental cash flow information (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

The following table summarizes lease term and discount rate:


	June 30, 2022
Weighted-average remaining lease term (years)		2.0
Weighted-average discount rate		9.5	%

As the Company’s operating leases did not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate was based on the term of the lease, the economic environment and reflects the rate the Company would have had to pay to borrow on a secured basis.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2022. This discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements regarding our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and projections. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company developing a diversified pipeline of targeted oncology therapeutic candidates across multiple modalities in order to bring important medicines to cancer patients. Our strategy is to source innovation through both internal discovery efforts and external collaborations, focusing on advanced-stage assets with novel technology platforms and differentiated mechanisms. Before we advance a product candidate into clinical development, we evaluate its potential for anti-tumor activity as a single agent as well as its ability to generate an immune system response or to inhibit oncogenic drivers. Using this strategy, we have efficiently developed or in-licensed a portfolio of therapeutic candidates.

CLN-081, which we are co-developing with Taiho Pharmaceutical, Co. Ltd ("Taiho"), is an orally available small-molecule, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor ("EGFR") inhibitor that is designed to selectively target cells expressing EGFR exon 20 insertion ("EGFRex20ins") mutations with relative sparing of cells expressing wild-type EGFR. In June 2022, Taiho acquired our partially-owned subsidiary, Cullinan Pearl Corp. (“Cullinan Pearl”), which has worldwide rights to CLN-081 outside of Japan and Greater China, for an upfront payment of $275.0 million to us with the potential for an additional $130.0 million tied to EGFR exon20 non-small-cell lung cancer ("NSCLC") regulatory milestones. Concurrently with the closing of the sale of Cullinan Pearl, we entered into a co-development and co-commercialization agreement for CLN-081 with an affiliate of Taiho, pursuant to which we will collaborate to develop CLN-081 and will retain the option to co-commercialize CLN-081 in the U.S. Development costs for CLN-081 after the sale of Cullinan Pearl shall be shared equally between the Company and Taiho with each party receiving 50% of any future potential pre-tax profits from U.S. sales of CLN-081.

CLN-081 is being evaluated as a treatment for NSCLC in adult patients with EGFRex20ins mutations in a Phase 1/2a trial. Among 39 response evaluable patients treated at the 100mg twice daily dose in this trial, CLN-081 has shown an initial efficacy profile that is at the high end of exon 20 agents, including a 41% confirmed response rate, an estimated 21-month median duration of response and an estimated 12-month progression-free survival. We have also observed favorable safety and tolerability at this dose, which includes no grade 3 or greater EGFR-related toxicities and relatively low dose discontinuation and interruption rates. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to CLN-081.

Our most advanced wholly-owned product candidates include CLN-049, a bispecific antibody targeting FLT3 and CD3, and CLN-619, a monoclonal antibody designed to stimulate natural killer and T cell responses by engaging a unique target, MICA/B. We initiated enrollment in clinical trials in the fourth quarter of 2021 for CLN-049 for patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome and for CLN-619 for patients with advanced solid tumors.

In addition to the above product candidates, our portfolio includes several preclinical oncology programs. The most advanced of these programs include CLN-617, a fusion protein combining two potent antitumor cytokines, interleukin-2 and interleukin-12, with tumor retention domains for the treatment of solid tumors, and CLN-978, an internally-developed half-life extended T-cell engaging antibody construct designed to simultaneously engage CD19 and CD3. We expect to submit investigational new drug applications ("INDs”) for both of these programs to the FDA by the first half of 2023.

Our remaining preclinical programs include Opal, a bispecific fusion protein that blocks the PD-1 axis and selectively activates the 4-IBB/CD137 pathway on T cells in tumors; Jade, a cell therapy targeting a novel senescence and cancer-related protein that we are developing in collaboration with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center; and an HPK1 protein degrader research collaboration with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai ("Icahn Mount Sinai"). At the American Association for Cancer Research ("AACR") 2022 Annual Meeting in April 2022, we presented preclinical data across five of these programs, including CLN-049, CLN-619, CLN-617, CLN-978 and Opal. We hold worldwide development and commercialization rights to each of our wholly-owned product candidates.

Since our inception in 2016, we have focused all of our efforts and financial resources on raising capital, organizing and staffing our company, identifying, acquiring or in-licensing and developing product and technology rights, establishing and protecting our intellectual property portfolio and developing and advancing our programs. To support these activities, we (i) identify and secure new programs, (ii) set up new subsidiaries to further advance individual programs, (iii) recruit key management team members, (iv) raise and allocate capital across the portfolio and (v) provide certain shared services, including research and development operations, administrative services, and business development, to our subsidiaries. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales.

We have three partially-owned development subsidiaries ("Asset Subsidiaries"): Cullinan Florentine Corp. ("Cullinan Florentine"), which is advancing CLN-049; Cullinan MICA Corp. ("Cullinan MICA"), which is advancing CLN-619; and Cullinan Amber Corp. ("Cullinan Amber"), which is developing our AMBER platform and advancing CLN-617 as its first product candidate. The Company’s former Asset Subsidiary, Cullinan Pearl, which is advancing CLN-081, was divested in the second quarter of 2022. We hold intellectual property rights and exclusive options for worldwide intellectual property for our earlier-stage programs, NexGem, Opal, Jade and the HPK1 degrader collaboration with Icahn Mount Sinai.

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and from licensing or selling the rights to our product candidates. As of June 30, 2022, we have received net proceeds of $541.2 million from equity financings, inclusive of our net proceeds of $264.5 million from our initial public offering ("IPO"). We have received $18.9 million in net collaboration revenue from our previous license agreement ("Zai License Agreement") with Zai Lab Shanghai Company, Limited ("Zai Lab") and cash proceeds of $270.0 million, net of $5.0 million in escrow as of June 30, 2022, from the sale of Cullinan Pearl.

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $611.0 million and long-term investments and interest receivable of $44.6 million. Interest receivable is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet and represents accrued and unpaid interest on our marketable securities. With the exception of the second quarter 2022, we have incurred operating losses and have had negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of June 30, 2022, we had retained earnings of $3.9 million. Besides the one-time gain from the sale of Cullinan Pearl, we expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. Our future viability is dependent on the success of our research and development and our ability to access additional capital to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that our current operating plan will be achieved or that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

We are subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations and the ability to obtain additional capital to fund operations. Our therapeutic programs will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require additional capital, adequate personnel and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. There can be no assurance that our research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for our intellectual property will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be uncertain. Infection rates remain high in many parts of the world, and the virulence and spread of different strains of the virus have caused many local jurisdictions to continue or re-implement quarantines and restrictions on travel and mass gatherings. The extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on our operations and financial performance is currently unknown and will depend on future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable.

We implemented remote working and other protective measures, but thus far, have not experienced a significant disruption or delay in our operations as it relates to the clinical development or drug production of our product candidates. However, COVID-19 has at times impacted the pace of our enrollment in our clinical trials and the conduct of our preclinical studies. In the future, COVID-19-related restrictions may adversely impact our operations. Such events may result in a period of business, supply and drug product manufacturing disruption, and in reduced operations, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

To date, COVID-19 has not had a financial impact on us. The spread of COVID-19, which has caused a broad impact globally, may materially affect us economically. While the ultimate economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic remain difficult to assess or predict, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others, the pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions in the general commercial activity and the global economy and caused financial market volatility and uncertainty in significant and unforeseen ways. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized $18.9 million of revenue, relating to the upfront fee earned from the Zai License Agreement. We have not generated any revenue from the sale of products since our inception and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the near future, if at all. If our development efforts for our product candidates are successful and result in regulatory approval or if we enter into collaboration or license agreements with third parties, we may generate revenue in the future from a combination of product sales or payments from such collaboration or license agreements.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the research and development of our wholly-owned and jointly-developed product candidates and programs. We expense research and development costs and intangible assets acquired that have no alternative future use as incurred. These expenses include:

•

employee-related expenses, including salaries, related benefits and equity-based compensation expense, for employees engaged in research and development functions;

•

expenses incurred under agreements with organizations that support our drug discovery and development activities;

•

expenses incurred in connection with the preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates and programs, including under agreements with contract research organizations ("CROs");

•

costs related to contract manufacturing organizations, that are primarily engaged to provide drug substance, raw material and drug product for our clinical trials, research and development programs, as well as investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials, nonclinical studies and other scientific development services;

•

the costs of acquiring and manufacturing nonclinical and clinical trial materials, including manufacturing registration and validation batches;

•

costs related to compliance with quality and regulatory requirements;

•

payments made under third-party licensing agreements; and

•

direct and allocated costs related to facilities, information technology, personnel and other overhead.

Advance payments that we make for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or consumed or the related services are performed, or until it is no longer expected that the goods will be delivered or the services rendered.

Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect that our research and development expenses will increase substantially in connection with our planned clinical development activities in the near term and in the future. At this time, we cannot accurately estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the clinical development of any current or future product candidates.

Our clinical development costs may vary significantly based on factors such as:

•

per patient trial costs;

•

the number of trials required for approval;

•

the number of sites included in the trials;

•

the countries in which the trials are conducted;

•

the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;

•

the number of patients that participate in the trials;

•

the number of doses that patients receive;

•

the drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients;

•

potential additional safety monitoring requested by regulatory agencies;

•

the duration of patient participation in the trials and follow-up periods;

•

the cost and timing of manufacturing our product candidates;

•

the phase of development of our product candidates;

•

the efficacy and safety profile of our product candidates; and

•

the number of product candidates we are developing.

The successful development and commercialization of product candidates is highly uncertain due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development and commercialization, including the following:

•

the timing and progress of nonclinical and clinical development activities;

•

the number and scope of nonclinical and clinical programs we decide to pursue;

•

raising necessary additional funds;

•

the progress of the development efforts of parties with whom we may enter into collaboration arrangements;

•

our ability to maintain our current development programs and to establish new ones;

•

our ability to establish new licensing or collaboration arrangements;

•

the successful initiation and completion of clinical trials with safety, tolerability and efficacy profiles that are satisfactory to the FDA or any comparable foreign regulatory authority;

•

the receipt and related terms of regulatory approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;

•

the availability of drug substance and drug product for use in the production of our product candidates;

•

establishing and maintaining agreements with third-party manufacturers for clinical supply for our clinical trials and commercial manufacturing, if our product candidates are approved;

•

our ability to obtain and maintain patents, trade secret protection and regulatory exclusivity, both in the U.S. and internationally;

•

our ability to protect our rights in our intellectual property portfolio;

•

the commercialization of our product candidates, if and when approved;

•

obtaining and maintaining third-party insurance coverage and adequate reimbursement;

•

the acceptance of our product candidates, if approved, by patients, the medical community and third-party payors;

•

competition with other products; and

•

a continued acceptable safety profile of our therapies following approval.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of our product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. We may never succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for any of our product candidates or programs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive management, finance, corporate and business development, and other administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include legal fees relating to patent and corporate matters; professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax, and administrative consulting services; insurance costs; administrative travel expenses; marketing expenses; and other operating costs.

We have incurred increased accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, compliance and director and officer insurance costs as well as investor and public relations expenses associated with being a public company. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support development of our product candidates and programs and our continued research activities.

Gain on Sale of Cullinan Pearl

Gain on sale of Cullinan Pearl represents the excess of the consideration received over the carrying value of the non-financial assets sold. Refer to Note 3 of our notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional details relating to the transaction.

Other Income

Other income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments.

Income Taxes

Income taxes consist primarily of federal and state income taxes.

Total research and development expenses	$	26,411	$	11,778	$	50,947	$	24,193

We separately disclose additional details for expenses incurred in connection with the research and development activities conducted for the product candidates and programs being developed by our partially-owned subsidiaries Cullinan Amber, Cullinan Florentine, Cullinan MICA and Cullinan Pearl, as we believe they represent key portfolio value drivers. In June 2022, we completed the sale of Cullinan Pearl to Taiho. We expect to share with Taiho 50% of future development costs for CLN-081 along with 50% of any future potential pre-tax profits from U.S sales of CLN-081.

Research and development expenses were $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $11.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

The increase of $6.3 million of research and development expenses of the Asset Subsidiaries was primarily related to an increase in chemistry, manufacturing and controls ("CMC") costs of $4.2 million relating to our ongoing clinical trials for CLN-081 and CLN-619 and to support IND-enabling activities with CLN-617 and an increase of $2.4 million relating to preclinical and clinical activities across CLN-081, CLN-049 and CLN-619.

The remaining increase within research and development expenses was primarily related to an increase in the discovery and development of early-stage product candidates, inclusive of the collaboration agreement entered into with Icahn Mount Sinai in December 2021, and an increase in equity-based compensation expense due to increased headcount and new grants in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Research and development expenses were $51.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $24.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The increase of $11.2 million of research and development expenses of the Asset Subsidiaries was primarily related to an increase in CMC costs of $10.8 million relating to our ongoing clinical trials for CLN-081 and CLN-619 and to support IND-enabling activities with CLN-617 and an increase of $3.2 million related to preclinical and clinical activity across CLN-081, CLN-049 and CLN-619, partially offset by a $3.0 million royalty payment to Taiho for the upfront fee from the Zai License Agreement that was made in the first six months of 2021 and did not recur in 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $5.9 million was primarily due to a $2.4 million increase in equity-based compensation expense relating to increased headcount and new grants in the three months ended June 30, 2022, a $1.1 million increase in personnel costs relating to increased headcount and non-recurring costs of $1.7 million related to the Cullinan Pearl sale.

General and administrative expenses were $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $8.8 million was primarily due to a $4.4 million increase in equity-based compensation expense relating to increased headcount and new grants in the six months ended June 30, 2022, a $1.7 million increase in personnel costs relating to increased headcount and non-recurring costs of $2.0 million related to the Cullinan Pearl sale.

Gain on Sale of Cullinan Pearl

The $276.8 million gain on sale of Cullinan Pearl represents the excess of the consideration received over the carrying value of the non-financial assets sold. Refer to Note 3 of our notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional details relating to the transaction.

Other Income

Other income was $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily related to higher investment income.

Other income was $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily related to higher investment income.

Income Tax Expense

The income tax expense was $66.1 million and $46.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The net income tax expense of $46.5 million recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represents the expected tax from the gain on sale of Cullinan Pearl, including the expected utilization of current year and certain historical tax attributes.

We did not record a provision for income taxes for the three or six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was $0.8 million during both the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net income of $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily related to our allocation of income to our noncontrolling interests in the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the recognition of revenue from the Zai License Agreement under Cullinan Pearl.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have incurred significant operating losses, with the exception of the one-time gain on the sale of Cullinan Pearl in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and negative cash flows from operations since our inception and expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. We have not yet commercialized any products and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of products for several years, if at all. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of equity securities and from licensing or selling the rights to our product candidates. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $611.0 million and long-term investments and interest receivable of $44.6 million.

In January 2021, we completed our IPO and received net proceeds of $264.5 million from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses. Based on our current operational plans and assumptions, we expect that our current cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and long-term investments, will be sufficient to fund operations through 2026. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise additional capital on reasonable terms or at all.

In June 2022, we sold our partially-owned subsidiary, Cullinan Pearl, to Taiho for an upfront payment of $275.0 million, of which $5.0 million will remain in escrow until we and Taiho finalize any post-sale net working capital adjustment, which is not expected to be material.

Cash Flows

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for each of the periods presented:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2022			2021
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(47,328	)	$	(17,711	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		335,563			(292,320	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		5,554			265,503
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	293,789		$	(44,528	)

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, operating activities used $47.3 million of cash. Net income of $161.2 million and a benefit of $51.1 million from the net change in our operating assets and liabilities was more than offset by a net non-cash benefit of $259.6 million. The net non-cash benefit primarily consisted of the gain on sale of Cullinan Pearl of $276.8 million, partially offset by $15.2 million from equity-based compensation expense and $1.7 million in amortization and accretion on marketable securities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, operating activities used $17.7 million of cash, primarily consisting of our net loss of $15.0 million and changes in net operating assets and liabilities of $11.5 million, which were partially offset by non-cash charges of $8.8 million. Our non-cash charges of $8.8 million primarily consisted of $7.7 million from equity-based compensation expense and $1.0 million in amortization and accretion on marketable securities.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by investing activities was $335.6 million, which consisted of $270.0 million of proceeds from the sale of Cullinan Pearl, net of $5.0 million in escrow, and $158.9 million from the sales and maturities of investments, partially offset by the purchase of $93.4 million of investments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, investing activities used $292.3 million of cash, of which $363.2 million was used for the purchase of investments, partially offset by $70.9 million received from the sales and maturities of investments.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was $5.6 million, which primarily consisted of $4.4 million from stock option exercises and $1.2 million from the issuance of noncontrolling interests.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $265.5 million, which primarily consisted of $267.3 million net proceeds from the initial public offering and $0.9 million from the issuance of noncontrolling interests, partially offset by the $2.7 million payment of deferred offering costs.

Future Funding Requirements

We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance the preclinical activities, manufacturing and clinical trials of our product candidates. In addition, we have and will continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. Our expenses will also increase as we:

•

continue our research and development efforts and submit INDs for our product candidates and programs;

•

conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials for our current and future product candidates;

•

take temporary precautionary measures to help minimize the risk of COVID-19 to our employees;

•

experience any delays or encounter any issues with any of the above, including but not limited to failed studies, complex results, safety issues, or other regulatory challenges;

•

develop the necessary processes, controls, and manufacturing capabilities to obtain marketing approval for our product candidates and to support manufacturing on a commercial scale;

•

develop and implement plans to establish and operate in-house manufacturing operations and facility;

•

seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials, if any;

•

hire and retain additional personnel, such as non-clinical, clinical, pharmacovigilance, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, manufacturing, distribution, legal, compliance, medical affairs, finance, general and administrative, commercial, and scientific personnel; and

•

develop, maintain, expand, and protect our intellectual property portfolio.

As a publicly-traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act enacted in April 2012. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which requires the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates to exceed $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

To achieve compliance with Section 404 after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we will be required to provide an attestation of our internal controls over financial reporting processes, which will require additional costs and personnel. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants, adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

Based on our current operational plans and assumptions, we expect that our current cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, will be sufficient to fund operations through 2026. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. As we progress with our development programs and the regulatory review process, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, pre-commercial activities and commercialization. We may also require additional capital to pursue in-licenses or acquisitions of other programs to further expand our pipeline.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of our product candidates and programs, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on and could increase significantly as a result of many factors, including:

•

the scope, progress, results, and costs of drug discovery, laboratory testing and preclinical and clinical development for our current and future product candidates;

•

timely completion of our preclinical studies and clinical trials, which may be significantly slower or cost more than we currently anticipate and will depend substantially upon the performance of third-party contractors;

•

the prevalence, duration and severity of potential side effects or other safety issues experienced by patients receiving our product candidates or future product candidates;

•

our ability to establish and maintain collaborations and license agreements on favorable terms, if at all, and the extent to which we acquire or in-license technologies or programs, if at all;

•

our ability to enroll clinical trials in a timely manner and to quickly resolve any delays or clinical holds that may be imposed on our development programs;

•

timing delays with respect to preclinical and clinical development of our current and future product candidates, including as result of the COVID-19 pandemic;

•

the costs of expanding our facilities to accommodate our expected growth in personnel;

•

our ability and the ability of third parties with whom we contract to manufacture adequate clinical and commercial supplies of our product candidates or any future product candidates, remain in good standing with regulatory authorities and develop, validate, and maintain commercially viable manufacturing processes that are compliant with current good manufacturing practices;

•

the costs of preparing, filing, and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights, and defending intellectual property-related claims;

•

the extent to which we acquire or in-license technologies or programs;

•

the sales price and availability of adequate third-party coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if and when approved; and

•

the ongoing costs of operating as a public company.

Until such time, if ever, that we can generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements, and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity, current ownership interests will be diluted. If we raise additional funds through government or third-party funding, collaboration agreements, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements, or marketing and distribution arrangements, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market products or product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

We have certain payment obligations under various license and collaboration agreements. Under these agreements, we are required to make milestone payments upon successful completion and achievement of certain intellectual property, clinical, regulatory, and sales milestones. The payment obligations under the license and collaboration agreements are contingent upon future events, such as our achievement of specified development, clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones, and we will be required to make milestone and royalty payments in connection with the sale of products developed under these agreements. As the achievement and timing of these future milestone payments are not probable or estimable, such amounts have not been included in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Operating lease obligations as of June 30, 2022 were $1.1 million, with $0.5 million payable within 12 months. See Note 12 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on our obligations and the timing of expected future payments.

In addition, we enter into agreements in the normal course of business with CROs for clinical trials and with vendors for preclinical studies, manufacturing services, and other services and products for operating purposes, which are generally cancelable upon written notice.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies have not materially changed from those described in the 2021 10-K.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements that may materially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements appearing at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Information required by this Item is not applicable as we are electing scaled disclosure requirements available to smaller reporting companies with respect to this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Exchange Act”) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer (our Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial officer (our Chief Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of June 30, 2022, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily applies our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. We are not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are probable to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 10-K"). Any of the risk factors contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the 2021 10-K could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, and such risk factors may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

In June 2022, we completed the sale of our entire equity interest in Cullinan Pearl Corp. (“Cullinan Pearl”) which was developing CLN-081/TAS6417, formerly our lead program, to Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“Taiho”) and we entered into a co-development agreement with a subsidiary of Taiho, to co-develop and, at our option, co-commercialize CLN-081/TAS6417 in the U.S. Pursuant to the terms of the co-development agreement with Taiho, development costs for CLN-081/TAS6417 incurred after the sale of Cullinan Pearl will be shared equally between Taiho and us with each party receiving 50% of any future pre-tax profits from potential U.S. sales of CLN-081/TAS6417.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements

We have not generated any revenue from the sale of our product candidates and may never be profitable.

Our ability to become profitable depends upon our ability to generate revenue. Besides our previous licensing agreement with Zai Lab, we have not generated any other license or collaboration revenue or any sales revenue from any of our product candidates. We do not expect to generate significant sales revenue or commercial revenue from the sale or license of one or more of our preclinical programs or product candidates unless or until we successfully complete clinical development and obtain regulatory approval of, and then successfully commercialize, at least one of our product candidates or, alternatively, enter into agreements with third parties for the purchase, collaboration, or license of one of our product candidates. We are currently advancing CLN-081 (pursuant to the co-development agreement with Taiho), CLN-049 and CLN-619 in clinical development, but most of our product candidates are in the preclinical stages of development and will require additional preclinical studies. All of our product candidates will require additional clinical development, regulatory review and approval, substantial investment, access to sufficient commercial manufacturing capacity, and significant marketing efforts before we can generate any revenue from product sales. Our ability to generate revenue depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

•

our ability to complete IND-enabling studies and successfully submit INDs or comparable applications for our product candidates;

•

whether we are required by the FDA or similar foreign regulatory authorities to conduct additional clinical trials or other studies beyond those planned to support the approval and commercialization of our product candidates or any future product candidates;

•

our ability to timely seek and obtain regulatory and marketing approvals for any of our product candidates or any future product candidates for which we complete clinical trials;

•

the prevalence, duration, and severity of potential side effects or other safety issues experienced by patients receiving our product candidates or future product candidates;

•

the willingness of physicians, operators of clinics, and patients to utilize or adopt any of our product candidates or future product candidates over alternative or more conventional therapies, such as chemotherapy;

•

the actual and perceived availability, cost, risk profile, and side effects, and efficacy of our product candidates, if approved, relative to existing and future alternative cancer therapies and competitive product candidates and technologies;

•

the equal cost-sharing structure for clinical development and commercialization costs of CLN-081 in the U.S. and the equal profit-sharing structure from future U.S. sales of CLN-081, each pursuant to the co-development agreement with Taiho;

•

our ability to successfully develop a commercial strategy and thereafter commercialize our product candidates or any future product candidates in the U.S. and internationally, if approved for marketing, reimbursement, sale, and distribution in such countries and territories, whether alone or in collaboration with others;

•

patient demand for our product candidates and any future product candidates, if approved; and

•

our ability to establish and enforce intellectual property rights in and for our product candidates or any future product candidates.

Many of the factors listed above are beyond our control and could cause us to experience significant delays or prevent us from obtaining regulatory approvals or commercializing our product candidates. Even if we are able to commercialize our product candidates, we may not achieve profitability soon after generating product sales, if ever. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue through the commercial sale of our product candidates or any future product candidates, or from agreements with third parties for the purchase, collaboration, or license of one or more of our product candidates, we may be unable to continue operations without continued funding.

We will require substantial additional funding to develop and commercialize our product candidates and identify and invest in new product candidates. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, we would be compelled to delay, reduce, or eliminate our product development programs or other operations.

The development of pharmaceutical products is capital intensive. We are currently advancing CLN-081 (pursuant to the co-development agreement with Taiho), CLN-049 and CLN-619 in clinical development and making further investments in our preclinical programs. We expect our expenses to increase in parallel with our ongoing activities. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations, which may include raising funding by one or more of our subsidiaries that could dilute our equity interest in the subsidiary. We have estimated our current additional funding needs based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. Changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more money than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, governmental funding, collaborations, strategic partnerships, and alliances, or marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties, either by us or by one or more of our subsidiaries. If we or our subsidiaries are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we or the applicable subsidiary would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate our identification, discovery, and preclinical or clinical development programs, or any future commercialization efforts.

We had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $611.0 million and long-term investments and interest receivables of $44.6 million as of June 30, 2022. We believe that, based upon our current operating plan, our existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operations through 2026. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•

the scope, progress, results, and costs of drug discovery, laboratory testing, manufacturing and preclinical and clinical development for our current and future product candidates;

•

the extent to which we enter into additional collaboration arrangements with regard to product discovery or acquire or in-license products or technologies;

•

the equal cost-sharing structure for clinical development and commercialization costs of CLN-081 in the U.S. and the equal profit sharing structure from future U.S. sales of CLN-081, each pursuant to the co-development agreement with Taiho;

•

our ability to establish additional discovery collaborations on favorable terms, if at all;

•

the costs, timing, and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

•

the costs of future commercialization activities, including product sales, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

•

revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval, or from licensing or collaboration agreements pursuant to which we may receive milestone, royalty, or other revenue from third parties developing or commercializing our product candidates; and

•

the costs of preparing, filing, and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims.

If we or our subsidiaries engage in acquisitions or strategic partnerships, this may increase our or their capital requirements, dilute our or their stockholders, cause us or them to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities, and subject us or them to other risks.

As noted above, in June 2022, we sold Cullinan Pearl, formerly a partially-owned subsidiary of the Company, to Taiho and we entered into a co-development agreement with a subsidiary of Taiho to co-develop and, at our option, co-commercialize CLN-081/TAS6417 in the U.S. Pursuant to the terms of the co-development agreement with Taiho, development costs for CLN-081/TAS6417 incurred after the sale of Cullinan Pearl will be shared equally between us and Taiho, with each party receiving 50% of any future pre-tax profits from potential U.S. sales of CLN-081/TAS6417.

We intend to engage in various acquisitions and strategic partnerships in the future, including licensing or acquiring products, intellectual property rights, technologies, or businesses, carried out either by u or by one or more of our wholly- or partially-owned subsidiaries, including a newly-formed subsidiary formed for the purpose of such transaction. Any acquisition or strategic partnership, including the co-development agreement with Taiho, may entail numerous risks to us or the applicable subsidiary, including:

•

increased operating expenses and cash requirements;

•

the assumption of indebtedness or contingent liabilities;

•

the issuance of equity securities which would result in dilution;

•

assimilation of operations, intellectual property, products, and product candidates of an acquired company, including difficulties associated with integrating new personnel;

•

the diversion of financial and managerial resources from our existing product programs and initiatives in pursuing such an acquisition or strategic partnership;

•

retention of key employees, the loss of key personnel, and uncertainties in our ability to maintain key business relationships;

•

risks and uncertainties associated with the other party to such a transaction, including the prospects of that party and their existing products or product candidates and regulatory approvals;

•

our inability to generate revenue from acquired intellectual property, technology, and/or products sufficient to meet our objectives or even to offset the associated transaction and maintenance costs;

•

risk of conducting research and development activities in new therapeutic areas or treatment modalities in which we have little to no experience;

•

successfully negotiating a proposed acquisition, in-license or investment in a timely manner and at a price or on terms and conditions favorable to us;

•

successfully combining and integrating a potential acquisition into our existing business to fully realize the benefits of such acquisition;

•

the impact of regulatory reviews on a proposed acquisition, in-license or investment; and

•

the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted with respect to the proposed acquisition, in-license or investment.

If we fail to properly evaluate potential acquisitions, in-licenses, investments or other transactions associated with the creation of new research and development programs or the maintenance of existing ones, we might not achieve the anticipated benefits of any such transaction, we might incur costs in excess of what we anticipate, and management resources and attention might be diverted from other necessary or valuable activities.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

Our ability to realize value from our subsidiaries may be impacted if we reduce our ownership to a minority interest or otherwise cede control to other investors through contractual agreements or otherwise.

In the event that any of our subsidiaries require additional capital and its respective board of directors authorizes the transaction, our equity interest in our subsidiaries may be further reduced to the extent such additional capital is obtained from third-party investors rather than from us. However, such transactions would still need to be approved by the board of directors of our respective subsidiary over which we maintain full or, in the case of Cullinan MICA, majority control. For example, in the event Cullinan MICA were to undertake a transaction that could lead to further dilution of our interest, such action would still be subject to protective provisions requiring the consent of a majority in interest of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Senior Preferred Stock, or the Protective Voting Rights, including, among other things, any authorization, designation, recapitalization or issuance of any new class or series of stock or any other securities convertible into equity securities of Cullinan MICA. Cullinan currently holds a majority of the Series A Senior Preferred Stock. These Protective Voting Rights give holders of Series A Senior Preferred voting control over any actions that would result in redemptions of equity securities.

However, if we do not wish to or cannot provide additional capital to any of our subsidiaries, we may approve of an issuance of equity by a subsidiary that dilutes our ownership and may lose control over the subsidiary. In addition, if the affairs of such minority-owned subsidiaries such as Cullinan MICA were to be conducted in a manner detrimental to our interests or intentions, our business, reputation, and prospects may be adversely affected. For example, other shareholders of Cullinan MICA could take actions without our consent, including that a majority of shareholders could demand a registration of their shares beginning in April 2025 and such a liquidity event by the other shareholders could have an adverse impact on our investment in the subsidiary.

As noted above, in June 2022, we completed the sale of Cullinan Pearl, formerly a partially owned subsidiary of the Company, to Taiho for an upfront payment of $275.0 million. We may receive up to an additional $130.0 million upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones related to CLN-081. There is no guarantee that these milestones will be achieved or that we will receive any of the additional $130.0 million. In connection with the sale of Cullinan Pearl, we entered into a co-development agreement with Taiho, pursuant to which we and Taiho will co-develop and, at our option, co-commercialize CLN-081/TAS6417 in the U.S. Taiho and us will share the future clinical development costs of CLN-081/TAS6417 equally, and each will receive 50% of the net profits from future U.S. sales. There is no guarantee that the co-development and co-commercialization will be successful or that we will receive any net profits and we could lose money.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

The Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA, if granted for any of our product candidates, may not lead to a faster development or regulatory review or approval process and it does not increase the likelihood that any of our product candidates will receive marketing approval.

We may seek Breakthrough Therapy designation for CLN-049 and CLN-619, and some or all of our future product candidates. A Breakthrough Therapy is defined as a drug or biologic that is intended, alone or in combination with one or more other drugs or biologics, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug or biologic may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints. Sponsors of product candidates that have been designated as Breakthrough Therapies are eligible to receive more intensive FDA guidance on developing an efficient drug development program, an organizational commitment involving senior managers, and eligibility for rolling review and priority review. Drugs and biologics designated as Breakthrough Therapies by the FDA may also be eligible for other expedited approval programs, including accelerated approval.

Designation as a Breakthrough Therapy is within the discretion of the FDA. Accordingly, even if we believe one of our product candidates meets the criteria for designation as a Breakthrough Therapy, the FDA may disagree and instead determine not to make such designation. In any event, the receipt of a Breakthrough Therapy designation for a product candidate may not result in a faster development process, review or approval compared to candidate products developed and considered for approval that have not received Breakthrough Designation and does not assure ultimate approval by the FDA. Even though we may seek Breakthrough Therapy designation for CLN-049, and CLN-619, and some or all of our future product candidates for the treatment of various cancers, there can be no assurance that we will receive breakthrough therapy designation for such product candidates.

Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties

We may form or seek additional collaborations or strategic alliances or enter into additional licensing arrangements in the future, and we may not realize the benefits of such collaborations, alliances or licensing arrangements.

As noted above, in June 2022, we completed the sale of Cullinan Pearl, formerly a partially owned subsidiary of the Company, to Taiho and we entered into the co-development agreement with a subsidiary of Taiho to co-develop and, at our option, co-commercialize CLN-081/TAS6417 in the U.S. Pursuant to the terms of the co-development agreement with Taiho, we will each equally contribute to the future clinical development of CLN-081/TAS6417 in the U.S., with each receiving 50% of the profits from potential U.S. sales.

We may form or seek additional strategic alliances, create joint ventures or collaborations, or enter into additional licensing arrangements with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our development and commercialization efforts with respect to our product candidates and any future product candidates that we may develop. Any of these relationships may require us to incur non-recurring and other charges, increase our near and long-term expenditures, issue securities that dilute our existing stockholders or disrupt our management and business.

Further, collaborations involving our product candidates are subject to numerous risks, which may include the following:

•

collaborators have significant discretion in determining the efforts and resources that they will apply to a collaboration;

•

collaborators may not pursue development and commercialization of our product candidates or may elect not to continue or renew development or commercialization of our product candidates based on clinical trial results, changes in their strategic focus due to the acquisition of competitive products, availability of funding or other external factors, such as a business combination that diverts resources or creates competing priorities;

•

collaborators may delay clinical trials, provide insufficient funding for a clinical trial, stop a clinical trial, abandon a product candidate, repeat or conduct new clinical trials or require a new formulation of a product candidate for clinical testing;

•

collaborators could independently develop, or develop with third parties, products that compete directly or indirectly with our product candidates;

•

a collaborator with marketing and distribution rights to one or more products may not commit sufficient resources to their marketing and distribution;

•

collaborators may not properly maintain or defend our intellectual property rights or may use our intellectual property or proprietary information in a way that gives rise to actual or threatened litigation that could jeopardize or invalidate our intellectual property or proprietary information or expose us to potential liability;

•

disputes may arise between us and a collaborator that cause the delay or termination of the research, development or commercialization of our product candidates, or that result in costly litigation or arbitration that diverts management attention and resources;

•

collaborations may be terminated and, if terminated, may result in a need for additional capital to pursue further development or commercialization of the applicable product candidates; and

•

collaborators may own or co-own intellectual property covering our product candidates that results from our collaborating with them, and in such cases, we would not have the exclusive right to commercialize such intellectual property.

As a result, if we enter into additional collaboration agreements and strategic partnerships or license our product candidates, we may not be able to realize the benefit of such transactions if we are unable to successfully integrate them with our existing operations and company culture, which could delay our timelines or otherwise adversely affect our business. We also cannot be certain that, following a strategic transaction or license, we will achieve the revenue or specific net income that justifies such transaction. Any delays in entering into new collaborations or strategic partnership agreements related to our product candidates could delay the development and commercialization of our product candidates in certain geographies for certain indications, which would harm our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Use of Proceeds from IPO of Common Stock

On January 7, 2021, our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-251512) was declared effective by the SEC for our IPO. At the closing of the offering on January 12, 2021, we sold 13,685,000 shares of common stock, including the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase up to 1,785,000 additional shares of common stock, at a public offering price of $21.00 per share. The aggregate net proceeds to us from the public offering, inclusive of the over-allotment exercise and after underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were $264.5 million.

We have invested the proceeds from the IPO and any unused proceeds from our prior equity financings into money market funds and marketable securities. Information related to use of proceeds from registered securities is incorporated herein by reference to the “Use of Proceeds” section of our IPO as described in our final prospectus dated January 7, 2021 and filed with the SEC on January 11, 2021 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) of the Securities Act. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds as described in our final prospectus.

All capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A.

W I T N E S E T H:

WHEREAS, Seller owns Company Capital Stock in an amount and of the class or series set forth on Section 2.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Shares”).

WHEREAS, the Shares constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock owned by Seller that are not owned by Purchaser or its Affiliates, and Seller has agreed to sell to Purchaser free and clear of all Liens, and Purchaser has agreed to purchase from Seller, all such Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Purchase”).

WHEREAS, the Seller and the Company have approved this Agreement, the Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements to which the Seller and the Company are a party (collectively, with all other transactions contemplated by all other Related Agreements, the “Transactions”).

WHEREAS, as a condition and material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser, the Seller and the Escrow Agent are entering into the Escrow Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”), which will be effective only upon the Closing.

WHEREAS, as a condition and material inducement to Purchaser and Seller to enter into this Agreement, Taiho Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TOI”), and Seller are entering into a Development Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Development Agreement”), which will be effective only upon the Closing.

WHEREAS, as a condition and material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser, the Seller and Purchaser are entering into a Technology Transfer and Transition Services Agreement (the “Technology Transfer and Transition Services Agreement”), which will be effective only upon the Closing.

WHEREAS, Purchaser and the Seller desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, as more fully set forth herein, in connection with the Transactions.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements, covenants and other premises of each party set forth herein, the benefits to be gained by each party as a result of the performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE

I.1

Purchase and Sale. At the Closing, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver all Shares to Purchaser free and clear of all Liens, and Purchaser shall purchase such Shares from Seller on

the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, for the consideration set forth in, and to be paid in accordance with, Section 1.5.

I.2

Closing. Unless this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, the Purchase shall be consummated at a closing (the “Closing”) as soon as reasonably practicable following, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following, the satisfaction or waiver (if permissible hereunder) of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver (if permissible hereunder) of those conditions), by electronic exchange of signature, unless another time is mutually agreed upon in writing by Purchaser and the Seller. The date upon which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

I.3

Closing Calculations. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a spreadsheet (the “Spreadsheet”) setting forth the following information in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser:

(a)

good faith calculation, in reasonable detail, of the Total Closing Consideration and all components thereof, including the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash, Transaction Expenses, and the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, together with the particular amounts underlying such calculations reasonably necessary for Purchaser to verify the calculations thereof;

(b)

the number, class and series of shares of Company Capital Stock held by Seller; and

(c)

the wire transfer instructions of Seller.

I.4

Closing Date Balance Sheet. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an estimated balance sheet and income statement of the Company as of the Closing Date, in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, that has been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements and that fairly presents an estimate by the Seller in good faith based on reasonable assumptions of the balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Closing (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”). The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall also include a good faith calculation, in reasonable detail, of the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount and each of the components thereof (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount”). The Company shall not, and the Seller shall cause the Company not to, directly or indirectly take or fail to take any action with the intention or for the purpose of manipulating or maximizing the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount. The Seller shall consider in good faith any of Purchaser’s comments to such preliminary Closing Date Balance Sheet and Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount and provide any additional supporting documentation reasonably requested by Purchaser.

I.5

Consideration.

(a)

In consideration for the sale of the Shares as part of the Purchase pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof, the Seller shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Total Closing Consideration, plus (ii) the Final Adjustment Amount (if any) in accordance with Section 1.6, plus (iii) the Adjustment Fund Release Amount (if any) in accordance with Section 1.6(f); and

(b)

At Closing, Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Seller the Total Closing Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.5(a) to the account designated by the Seller in a written notice delivered to Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. All other

amounts payable (if any) pursuant to Section 1.6 and ARTICLE IX shall be paid in the amounts, at the times and in the manner set forth in such sections.

(c)

Adjustment Escrow Amount. Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, Five Million U.S. Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Adjustment Escrow Amount”) into a segregated non-interest-bearing account established pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and designated by the Escrow Agent in a written notice delivered to Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Fund”), for disbursement pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Such deposit shall be made out of funds that otherwise would have been paid as consideration to the Seller, and the Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be deemed to have been deposited with respect to the Seller. Purchaser shall be treated as the owner of the Adjustment Fund and all taxable income earned thereon for all U.S. federal income Tax purposes until such amounts, if any, are distributed pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Adjustment Fund shall be available for the satisfaction of any Final Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 1.6(f).

I.6

Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a)

Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s good faith calculation of (i) the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount and each of the components thereof (the “Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount”), and (ii) the Final Adjustment Amount and each of the components thereof.

(b)

During the thirty (30) day period following delivery of the Post-Closing Statement to Seller, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, cooperate with Seller and its Representatives to provide them with information used in preparing the Post-Closing Statement reasonably requested by Seller and its Representatives including, upon reasonable advance notice, access during normal business hours to relevant personnel and records of the Purchaser. The Post-Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery thereof, unless prior to the end of such period, Seller delivers to the Purchaser written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) specifying the nature and amount of any disputed item. Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts in the Post-Closing Statement not specifically referenced in the Notice of Disagreement, and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review under Section 1.6(c).

(c)

During the fifteen (15) day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by Seller to the Purchaser, the parties shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified therein. During such fifteen (15) day period, Seller shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, cooperate with the Purchaser and its Representatives to provide them with information used in the preparation of such Notice of Disagreement reasonably requested by the Purchaser or its Representatives including, upon reasonable advance notice, access during normal business hours to relevant personnel and records of Seller and its Representatives. Any disputed items resolved in writing between the Seller and Purchaser within such fifteen (15) day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Seller and Purchaser agree in writing on the resolution of each disputed item specified in the Notice of Disagreement, the amount so determined shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder.

(d)

If the Seller and Purchaser have not resolved all such differences by the end of such fifteen (15) day period (or such later period if extended in a writing signed by the Seller and Purchaser) (the “Resolution Deadline”), the Seller and Purchaser shall submit, in writing, to a nationally recognized public accounting firm independent of both the Company and Purchaser (and their respective Affiliates) and agreed upon in writing by the Seller and Purchaser (or failing such agreement within fifteen (15) days after

the Resolution Deadline, then to a nationally recognized public accounting firm agreed upon in writing by the auditor of Purchaser and the most recent auditor of the Company within fifteen (15) days after notice to each such auditor) (the “Accounting Firm”), their briefs detailing their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute and the Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item and the amount of the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (in each case, if and to the extent disputed), which determination shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. The Accounting Firm shall be authorized to resolve only those items remaining in dispute between the parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.6(d) within the range of the difference between Purchaser’s position with respect thereto and the Seller’s position with respect thereto. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Accounting Firm that it reached such determination in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.6(d). The Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within thirty (30) days following the submission thereof. Judgment may be entered upon the written determination of the Accounting Firm in any competent court. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the costs of any dispute resolution pursuant to this subsection, including the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof, shall be borne by Purchaser and the Seller in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each party incurred in connection with their preparation or review of the Post-Closing Statement and preparation or review of any Notice of Disagreement, as applicable, shall be borne by such party.

(e)

The “Final Adjustment Amount” shall initially be [*****] and shall be increased or decreased as follows: (i) if the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.6, is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, then the Final Adjustment Amount shall be decreased by the absolute value of such shortfall; and (ii) if the Post-Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.6, is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, then the Final Adjustment Amount shall be increased by the amount of such excess. If the Final Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then Purchaser may recover the absolute value of the Final Adjustment Amount from the Adjustment Fund (and, upon Purchaser’s request, Purchaser and the Seller shall, as promptly as practicable, deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release such amount from the Adjustment Fund to Purchaser), and additionally if the Adjustment Fund is insufficient to satisfy the entire amount of such absolute value, then within [*****] Business Days following the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Purchaser an amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash Final Adjustment Amount payable to Purchaser pursuant to this ARTICLE I, less the Adjustment Fund. If the Final Adjustment Amount is a positive number, within [*****] Business Days following the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller the aggregate amount of cash Final Adjustment Amount payable to Seller pursuant to this ARTICLE I.

(f)

To the extent any funds remain in the Adjustment Fund after giving effect to the foregoing Section 1.6(e) (such funds, the “Adjustment Fund Release Amount”), Purchaser and the Seller shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release such Adjustment Fund Release Amount to the Seller in accordance with this Agreement.

I.7

Contingent Consideration.

(a)

Purchaser shall, within [*****] days following such event, notify the Seller in writing after the first achievement of each of the following milestone events (“Milestone Events”) by Purchaser or Company (or their respective Affiliate) and, subject to Section 1.7(c), and to the Closing having occurred, shall make the applicable payment (each, a “Milestone Payment” and, collectively, the “Contingent Consideration”) to the Seller as set forth below, and each such Milestone Payment shall be made within [*****] days after the date on which such milestone is first achieved:

(i)

Upon the [*****], Purchaser shall pay an aggregate of:

(a)

In no event will the aggregate amounts paid by Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.7(a) exceed $130,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, no Milestone Payment shall be payable more than once. [*****]

(a)

[*****]

I.8

Withholding Taxes. The Company and Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld therefrom under any applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, and properly remitted, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or Purchaser determines that any amount is required to be withheld from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, a reasonable amount of time prior to making any payment that is subject to withholding, the Company or Purchaser shall (a) notify Seller in writing that (i) such payment is subject to withholding, (ii) the amount that will be withheld or rate of withholding, and (iii) a reasonable description of the provision of applicable Legal Requirements that requires such withholding and (b) provide Seller a reasonable opportunity to provide any forms, certificates, applications or other documents or evidence that would exempt or reduce the amount required to be withheld or deducted. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller with respect to item (b) of the prior sentence and with respect to any reasonable request or

application for a refund from a Governmental Entity of amounts previously withheld or deducted and paid over to such Governmental Entity (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be prepared by Seller and filed by Purchaser). Such cooperation shall include Purchaser, at the Seller’s reasonable written request, requesting an extension from the applicable Governmental Entities for a late submission of any forms, certificates, applications or other documents or evidence that would exempt or reduce the amount required to be withheld or deducted. Within thirtydays after the date of any amounts withheld or deducted by Purchaser in respect of any payment to Seller, Purchaser shall furnish to Seller the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment to the applicable Governmental Entity or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Without limiting the terms of Section 9.2, to the extent that the consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person under this Agreement is not reduced by such deductions or withholdings and was subject to deductions or withholdings pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, such Person shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) and agents for any such amounts of deductions or withholdings imposed by any applicable Governmental Entities, together with any related Losses, other than Losses attributable to Purchaser’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The parties will make reasonable best efforts to minimize or eliminate any Tax withholding, including by cooperating with respect to all documentation required by any applicable Governmental Entity or reasonably requested by either party to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding Taxes and qualifying for the benefits of any applicable Tax treaty.

I.9

Tax Matters.

(a)

Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that Seller is not transferring, licensing or sublicensing any Intellectual Property to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and Seller is only purchasing the Shares from Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Accordingly, Seller and Purchaser shall treat the payments of Total Consideration as payments for the purchase of the Shares for applicable Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

(b)

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) Purchaser makes no representations or warranties to Seller regarding the Tax consequences to the Company or to Seller of this Agreement, the Purchase or any of the other Transactions, and the Seller acknowledges that it is relying solely on its own Tax advisors in connection therewith, and (ii) Seller makes no representations or warranties to Purchaser regarding the Tax consequences to the Company or to Purchaser of this Agreement, the Purchase or any of the other Transactions, and the Purchaser acknowledges that it is relying solely on its own Tax advisors in connection therewith.

I.1

Taking of Further Action. If at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest Purchaser with full right, title and possession to all of the Company Capital Stock, then Seller, and the officers and directors (if any) of Seller, are fully authorized in the name of Seller or otherwise to take, and Seller will use its best efforts to cause such officers and director to take, all such lawful and necessary action.

The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Losses, or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. No Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder.

IX.4

Indemnification Claim Procedures.

(a)

Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.3, if an Indemnified Party wishes to make an indemnification claim under this ARTICLE IX, such Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or reasonably anticipates that it may pay, incur, suffer or sustain Losses, and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Losses, the date each such item was paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or the basis for such anticipated Losses and, if applicable, the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related. The Indemnified Party may update an Indemnification Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof.

(dddd)

If the Indemnifying Party shall not object in writing within the thirty (30) day period after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivery of a written notice of objection containing a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting an objection to the applicable indemnification claim (an “Indemnification Claim Objection Notice”), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice. In such event, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3, with respect to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to prompt payment of all Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice in accordance with this ARTICLE IX and the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days following the date of such memorandum, pay to the Indemnified Party, such amount in cash.

(eeee)

In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall deliver an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice in accordance with Section 9.4(b), if the Indemnifying Party shall object to any claim or claims made in any Indemnification Claim Notice to recover claims directly from the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Indemnification Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. In such event, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3, with respect to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to prompt payment of all Losses set forth in such memorandum in accordance with this ARTICLE IX and the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days following the date of such memorandum, pay to the Indemnified Party, such amount in cash.

(ffff)

If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to thirty (30) days after delivery of an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 12.10. The decision of the court, as to the validity and amount of any claim, and any awards, judgments, decrees or orders, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties to this Agreement. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3, with respect to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to the amount of Losses determined to be indemnifiable pursuant to ARTICLE IX, and the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days following the date of such award, judgment, decree or order, pay to the Indemnified Party, such amount in cash.

IX.5

Third-Party Claims.

(a)

In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of an Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof. Such notification shall be given as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim and such notification shall describe in reasonable

detail (to the extent known by such Indemnified Party) the facts set forth in such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim and the amount of claimed Losses; provided, however, that no delay or failure by the Indemnified Party to provide such notification shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder except to the extent such failure or delay materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party. Subject to the terms of Section 9.5(b), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or to assume the defense of any Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that its right to assume the defense shall be subject to having first delivered a written notice to the Indemnified Party, in which it agrees that such defense shall be conducted at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and that the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party for the full amount of any Losses resulting from the Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim (in accordance with and subject to the limitations of ARTICLE IX), and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, (i) if the Third-Party Claim is an Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim by reason of Section 9.2(a)(i) or Section 9.2(a)(ii) (in each case, relating to [*****], the Indemnifying Party shall not indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party for the portion of any Losses resulting from the Third-Party Claim that relate to Taxes other than Pre-Closing Taxes, and (ii) if the Third-Party Claim is an Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim that relates to Pre-Closing Taxes of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary, aggregate or similar group of which Seller or one of its Subsidiaries is the parent, Seller shall control the defense of such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim, provided, if such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact the Company after the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim at the Purchaser’s expense and Seller shall not settle or compromise such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim without the Purchaser’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve any such claim solely to the extent that such settlement or resolution involves only the payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party is responsible and excludes: any equitable or injunctive relief, the assumption or assignment of criminal liability, admissions of fault, or statements that could directly or indirectly cause the Indemnified Party to suffer reputational damage (and the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such defense, settlement or resolution (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court costs) shall be included in the calculation of Losses hereunder). The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party advised of any material development of such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto. To the extent it does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect thereto. Each party shall furnish the other party, upon its reasonable request, (i) copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party, (ii) any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same and (iii) any other material, written information requested by the Indemnifying Party as the Indemnified Party may have with respect to such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim; provided, that with respect to each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the furnishing thereof would not, in the reasonable discretion of the Indemnifying Party, cause the loss of any attorney-client privilege. For the avoidance of doubt and subject to the other terms of this Agreement, each party shall keep any information obtained pursuant to the foregoing confidential in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof as though such information was subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, and in no event shall such party disclose such information to any third-party unless and until such party has executed a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information, or is otherwise subject to applicable confidentiality obligations, containing confidentiality terms no less favorable to the parties than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the

Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section 9.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle an Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Indemnifiable Third-Party Claim. Regardless of whether or not the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Any such service of process shall be effective upon delivery. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by the applicable Legal Requirements. The parties hereto and the Indemnifying Party hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason, or that it or any of its property is immune from the above-described legal process, (b) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that venue for the action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, or (c) any other defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any party hereto is entitled pursuant to any final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.

XII.11

Waiver of Jury Trial.

Each of the parties to this Agreement shall, with reasonable diligence, do all such things and provide all such reasonable assurances as may be required to consummate the Transactions, and each such party shall provide such further documents or instruments required by any other party as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the purpose of this Agreement and carry out its provisions, whether before or after the Closing.

XII.13

Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation.

(a)

Ropes & Gray LLP (“Ropes”) has acted as counsel for the Company (prior to the Closing) and the Seller (collectively, the “Company Parties” and each a “Company Party”) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Acquisition Engagement”) and, in that connection, not as counsel for any other Person, including, without limitation, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing). Only the Company Parties shall be considered clients of Ropes in the Acquisition Engagement. If the Seller so desires, Ropes shall be permitted, without the need for any future waiver or consent, to represent Seller after the Closing in connection with any matter related to the matters contemplated by this Agreement or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto and may in connection therewith represent the agents or Affiliates of the Seller, in any of the foregoing cases including, without limitation, in any dispute, litigation or other adversary proceeding against, with or involving Purchaser, the Company after the Closing or any of their agents or Affiliates.

(b)

To the extent that communications between a Company Party, on the one hand, and Ropes, on the other hand, relate to the Acquisition Engagement, and constituted privileged communications as of immediately prior to Closing, such communication shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Seller. Except in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser and the Company after the Closing or their Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party other than Seller, on the other hand, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates, including the Company after the Closing, shall have access to (and Purchaser hereby waives, on behalf of each, any right of access it may otherwise have with respect to) any such communications or the files or work product of Ropes, to the extent that they relate to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, including the

Company after the Closing, upon and after the Closing: (i) the Seller and Ropes shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege of the Company Parties with respect to the Acquisition Engagement, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates, including the Company after the Closing, shall be a holder thereof; (ii) to the extent that files or work product of Ropes in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Seller shall hold such property rights of any Company Parties and have the right to waive or modify such property rights; and (iii) Ropes shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications, files or work product to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including the Company after the Closing, by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Ropes and the Company or otherwise; provided, that, to the extent any communication is both related and unrelated to the Acquisition Engagement, Ropes shall provide (and the Seller shall instruct Ropes to provide) appropriately redacted versions of such communications, files or work product to Purchaser or its Affiliates, including the Company after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between any of Purchaser or the Company after the Closing or their Affiliates, on one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, concerning the matters contemplated in this Agreement, Purchaser, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and the Company after the Closing and its Affiliates, agrees that Purchaser, the Company after the Closing and their Affiliates shall not offer into evidence or otherwise attempt to use or assert the foregoing attorney-client communications, files or work product against the Seller.

XII.14

Non-recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any party hereto or of any Affiliate of any party hereto, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim or Action based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.14 shall limit the liability of any Person in connection with a claim based on fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation committed by such Person.

I.36

Independent Legal Advice. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that it has entered into this Agreement willingly with full knowledge of the obligations imposed by the terms of this Agreement. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that it has been afforded the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice and confirms by the execution of this Agreement that it has either done so or waived its right to do so, and agrees that this Agreement constitutes a binding legal obligation and that they are estopped from raising any claim on the basis that they have not obtained such advice.

I.37

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

From time to time, the JSC, JDC and JCC may establish various working groups (each, a “Working Group”) to oversee particular projects or activities, including the Finance Working Group described below in this Section 2.4, and each such Working Group shall be constituted and shall operate as the JSC, JDC or JCC determines (and, with respect to the Finance Working Group, as set forth in this Agreement).

II.4.1

Finance Working Group. Within [*****] after the Effective Date, Cullinan and Taiho shall establish a joint Finance Working Group (the “Finance Working Group”), which shall report to the JDC with respect to the Development of the Collaboration Products, to the JCC with respect to the Commercialization of the Collaboration Products and to the JSC with respect to the Pre-Tax Profit or Loss in accordance with the Reconciliation Procedures and the Financial Exhibit, and operate in coordination with the various committees and Working Groups. The Finance Working Group shall include individuals from each Party with reasonable expertise in the areas of accounting, cost allocation, budgeting and financial reporting.

(a)

coordinating and conducting the accounting, reporting, reconciliation and other related activities assigned to it as set forth in this Agreement and the Financial Exhibit,

(b)

advising and providing support to the JSC and the other committees with respect to financial, accounting, budgeting, reporting and other issues that may arise in connection with the various plans and corresponding budgets for activities thereunder;

(g)

making such decisions and determinations as are assigned to it under this Agreement.

II.5

Membership. Each of the JSC, JDC and JCC shall be composed of an equal number of representatives appointed by each of Cullinan and Taiho. The JSC shall be comprised of three representatives of each Party. The JDC and JCC shall each be comprised of at least two but no more than five representatives of each Party, as determined by the JSC. Each Party shall have the right to appoint any number of representatives to the various Working Groups. Each Party may replace JSC, JDC, JCC and any Working Group representatives at any time upon written notice to the other Party, provided that such replacement is of comparable authority and scope of functional responsibility within that Party’s organization as the person he or she is replacing. Each Party’s representatives to each Joint Committee shall be individuals suitable in seniority and experience and amongst such representatives shall be at least one representative from each Party with relevant decision-making authority to make decisions within the scope of the applicable Joint Committee’s responsibilities, provided that it is understood that such individual may need to seek appropriate authority from the relevant Party with respect to certain matters. The JSC, JDC, JCC and the various Working Groups (each, a “Joint Committee”) shall be co-chaired by one designated representative of each Party. The co-chairpersons of each Joint Committee shall not have any greater authority than any other representative on such Joint Committee. The co-chairpersons shall be responsible for (i) calling meetings; (ii) preparing (with the assistance of the Alliance Managers) and circulating an agenda in advance of each meeting, provided that the co-chairpersons shall include any agenda items proposed by either Party on such agenda; (iii) ensuring that all decision-making is carried out in accordance with the voting and dispute resolution mechanisms set forth in this Agreement; and (iv) preparing and issuing minutes of each meeting within [*****] days thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, each Party may designate the same individual as a representative on more than one Joint Committee, and each Party may designate contractors or employees of its Affiliates as its representatives (including co-chairperson) on the Joint Committee, provided that such contractors and employees are subject to appropriate obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those set forth in ARTICLE IX herein.

II.2

Decision-Making.

II.2.1

Voting. Each Joint Committee shall operate by unanimous agreement. With respect to decisions of each Joint Committee, the representatives of each Party shall have collectively one vote on behalf of such Party. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, use of the phrases “determine,” “establish,” “delegate,” “approve,” “develop,” “update,” “submit,” “prepare,” “resolve,” or “determine whether to approve” (including any conjugates thereof) by the Joint Committees, will mean that the decision making provisions of this Section 2.6 apply to such matter, including the escalation and tie‑breaking provisions herein. For the avoidance of doubt, matters that are specified to be “recommended”, “advised”, “overseen”, “managed,” “reviewed,” “discussed,” “monitored,” “provided a forum,” “performed,” “facilitated,” “coordinated,” “cooperated,” or “shared” (including any conjugates thereof) do not require any agreement or decision by either Party and are not subject to the voting and decision-making procedures set forth in this Section 2.6.

II.2.2

Joint Committee Dispute Resolution. Should the members of any Working Group fail to reach agreement for more than [*****] Business Days on any matter that is within its authority under this Agreement for which unanimous agreement is required and has been sought and Cullinan or Taiho requests a resolution, the matter shall be referred to the Joint Committee to which such Working Group reports for discussion and resolution. Should the members of the JDC or JCC maintain any disagreement for more than [*****] Business Days on any matter that is within its authority under this Agreement for which unanimous agreement has been sought and Cullinan or Taiho requests a resolution, the matter shall be referred to the JSC for resolution. Should the members of the JSC maintain their disagreement for more than [*****] Business Days either Party may refer the matter to the Chief Executive Officers of each Party or their designee (“Senior Executive(s)”). The Senior Executives shall meet promptly (in person, telephonically or virtually, and in no event more than [*****] days after a Party notifies the other Party of the referral of such dispute to the Senior Executives) and negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If, despite such good faith efforts, the Senior Executives are unable to resolve such dispute within [*****] Business Days following referral of the matter to them, then:

(a)

FWG Disputes. With respect to any matter to be originally decided by the Finance Working Group (as any such matter is referred to the JSC by the JDC or JCC, or as any such matter is referred directly to the JSC by the Finance Working Group) (each, an “FWG Dispute”) such matter shall be resolved by baseball arbitration pursuant to Section 13.2.2;

(b)

Taiho Final Decision-Making Authority. With respect to all other matters within the decision-making responsibility of a Joint Committee, other than any FWG Dispute, Taiho shall have final decision-making authority with respect to such matter subject to Section 2.6.3 below (which decision, for clarity, shall be considered the decision of the JSC).

II.2.3

Limitations on Joint Committee Authority. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, without Cullinan’s prior written consent, Taiho shall not have the right to exercise its deciding vote with respect to a decision within the authority of a Joint Committee as contemplated under Sections 2.6 to do any of the following: (a) finally determine

any interpretation of this Agreement or the Parties’ rights or obligations hereunder, (b) conflict with any terms and conditions of this Agreement, (c) be in contravention of applicable Law in any respect, (d) require Cullinan to infringe or misappropriate any intellectual property rights of any Third Party, (e) assign any material Development activities to, or materially expand the Development activities allocated to, Cullinan in the GDP, (f) materially expand the Co-Promotion activities allocated to Cullinan in the Co-Promotion Plan beyond the conduct of Co-Promotion activities by the Cullinan Sales Representatives that are required to be hired by Cullinan as described in Section 5.2.4 or (g) add to the GDP conduct of Development of a Collaboration Product for a New Indication (which, for clarity, shall be subject to Section 4.7.6) or conduct Development for a New Collaboration Product (which, for clarity, shall be subject to Section 4.7.8). Additionally, it is understood that if Taiho exercises its deciding vote (i) to approve a Material Core Program Amendment to the GDP or Development Budget, then Taiho shall initially bear the Material Core Program Amendment Excess Costs incurred as a result of such Material Core Program Amendment, as described in Section 4.7.5 below or (ii) to increase the aggregate U.S. Commercialization Budget for Allowable Expenses for the period prior to the First Commercial Sale of a Collaboration Product in the United States above the Pre-FCS Expense Threshold, then Taiho shall initially bear the Pre-FCS Excess Expense incurred as a result thereof, as described in Section 5.1.7. For the avoidance of doubt, disputes arising between the Parties in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith, in each case, that are outside of the decision-making authority of the Joint Committees and not within a Party’s sole decision-making authority hereunder, shall be resolved pursuant to Section 13.2. Each Party shall retain the rights, powers and discretion granted to it under this Agreement and no such rights, powers or discretion shall be delegated to or vested in a Joint Committee unless such delegation or vesting of rights is expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Parties expressly so agree in writing. No Joint Committee shall have the power to, and no deciding vote of a Party on a matter referred to such Person shall, amend, modify or waive compliance with this Agreement, which compliance may only be amended or modified as provided in Section 14.7 or compliance with which may only be waived as provided in Section 14.7.

II.2.4

Certain Matters.

(a)

If reasonably requested by Cullinan in connection with the amendment of the GDP, Taiho shall not unreasonably withhold its approval at the JSC of an increase in the Development Budget for subcontracted Development activities for which Cullinan is responsible under the GDP, but Taiho (or its Affiliate), rather than Cullinan or its Affiliate, is party to such Subcontract and is responsible for remitting the payment to such Subcontractor under the applicable Subcontract, to the extent such requested increase in a Calendar Year does not exceed the Last Agreed Development Budget for such Calendar Year for such activity by more than [*****].

(b)

The Parties acknowledge that the Development Budget in the GDP for the conduct of the phase 2 cohort Clinical Study (titled in the Initial GDP [*****]) to be conducted by Taiho does not contemplate the expansion of all cohorts under such Clinical Study beyond the

exploratory phase. Accordingly, in the event that (i) Taiho, in connection with an amendment of the GDP, reasonably requests a Material Core Program Amendment to expand one or more cohorts under such Clinical Study beyond the exploratory phase and (ii) Cullinan agrees that the expansion of one or more cohorts is justified, then Cullinan shall not unreasonably withhold its approval at the JSC of an increase in the Development Budget for the conduct of such justified expansion of one or more cohorts under such Clinical Study, by a reasonable amount intended to cover such cohorts (to the extent that the existing Development Budget does not include enough funds to cover such cohorts).

II.6

Meetings of the JSC, JDC, JCC and Working Groups. The JSC shall hold meetings at such times as the JSC shall determine, and the JDC and JCC shall hold meetings at such times as the applicable committee determines (or as directed by the JSC), but in no event shall such meetings of the JSC, JDC and JCC be held less frequently than [*****] after the Effective Date and thereafter [*****] during the Term for so long as each such committee exists. Each Working Group shall hold meetings at such times as the Working Group agrees, or as the JDC, JCC or the JSC directs. Each of the Joint Committees may meet in person or by audio or video conference as the Parties may mutually agree. With respect to in-person meetings of a Joint Committee, the representatives shall meet alternately at a location(s) designated by Cullinan and Taiho. Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses in attending Joint Committee meetings and, for clarity, such costs and expenses shall not be included in Allowable Expenses for purposes of calculating Pre-Tax Profit or Loss in accordance with the Financial Exhibit or Development Costs. Other representatives of the Parties, their Affiliates and Third Parties involved in the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Collaboration Products may attend such meetings of a Joint Committee as nonvoting observers, so long as such observers are subject to appropriate obligations of confidentiality. Any Joint Committee may upon agreement meet on an ad hoc basis between regularly scheduled meetings in order to address and resolve time-sensitive issues within their purview that may arise from time to time. No action taken at a meeting of a Joint Committee shall be effective unless a representative of each Party is present or participating. Neither Party shall unreasonably withhold attendance of at least one representative of such Party at any meeting of a Joint Committee for which reasonable advance notice was provided.

II.7

Discontinuation of Joint Committees. On a Joint Committee-by-Joint Committee basis, each Joint Committee shall continue to exist until the Parties agree to disband the Joint Committee. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, once one or more Joint Committees have been disbanded, such disbanded Joint Committee and all Working Groups appointed by such Joint Committee shall be terminated and thereafter (i) any requirement of a Party to provide information or materials to such Joint Committee shall be deemed a requirement to provide such information or other materials to the other Party via the Alliance Managers, and (ii) any matters previously delegated to such disbanded Joint Committee shall be resolved by mutual agreement of the Parties, or, if the Parties do not reach mutual agreement, in accordance with the decision-making provisions of Section 2.6.

II.8

Alliance Managers. Each Party shall designate a single alliance manager for all of the activities contemplated under this Agreement (“Alliance Manager”). Such Alliance Managers

will be responsible for the day-to-day coordination of the collaboration contemplated by this Agreement and will serve to facilitate communication between the Parties. Such Alliance Managers shall have experience and knowledge appropriate for managers with such project management responsibilities. The Alliance Managers shall attend the JSC meetings (or designate an appropriate representative to attend JSC meetings on such Alliance Manager’s behalf). The Alliance Managers shall not be counted as members of any Joint Committee (and shall not vote on matters discussed at any Joint Committee meeting). Each Party may change its designated Alliance Manager from time to time upon written notice to the other Party.

II.11

GDP; Amendments; Development Responsibilities.

IV.0.1

Global Development Plan. The conduct of all Development in support of the Core Dossier for Collaboration Product shall be governed by the GDP, and the Parties agree to conduct all such activities in accordance with the GDP.

The JSC shall review proposed amendments presented by the JDC and may approve such proposed amendments or any other proposed amendments that the JSC may consider from time to time in its discretion and, upon such approval by the JSC, the GDP (and Development Budget therein) shall be amended accordingly and will become effective and supersede the previous GDP (and Development Budget therein). Amendments and updates to the GDP, including the Development Budget, shall not be effective without the approval of the JSC (including via a decision or determination pursuant to Section 2.6.2). In the event that the JSC does not approve an updated GDP, including the Development Budget, prior to [*****], the then-current GDP, and the forecasted amounts set forth for the applicable [*****] of the previously-approved Development Budget shall continue to apply until the updated GDP (and corresponding Development Budget) is agreed by the JSC (including via a decision or determination pursuant to Section 2.6.2).

I.1.3

Development Diligence.

(a)

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party, itself or through its Affiliate(s), shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform those activities assigned to it under the GDP.

(b)

Without limiting the foregoing, Taiho, either itself or through its Affiliate(s), shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to [*****].

(c)

If Taiho ceases Development of Collaboration Product before obtaining Regulatory Approval of a Collaboration Product for [*****] and [*****] in the United States, to the extent such cessation is permitted under Section 4.2.4(a) and Section 4.2.4(b), and Cullinan desires for such Development to continue, Cullinan may, but will not be obligated to, propose to the JDC within [*****] months after such cessation a plan and budget for the further Development of the Collaboration Product for [*****] and [*****] in the United States and the Parties, through the JDC, shall discuss and consider such plan and budget. If, after such a proposal from Cullinan, Taiho does not desire to continue Development of the Collaboration Product for [*****] and [*****] in the United States, then it shall notify Cullinan and the GDP and Development Budget shall be deemed to be amended to include the plan and budget that Cullinan proposed to the JDC,

provided that, unless otherwise agreed by Taiho, the GDP will assign the performance of all such Development activities (and Manufacturing activities therefor) to Cullinan, at [*****] expense (such Development Costs initially borne by Cullinan, “Cullinan Core Program Amendment Excess Costs”) and [*****]. If, following Taiho’s cessation of Development pursuant to this Section 4.2.4(c), Cullinan does not provide a plan and budget for the further Development of the Collaboration Product for [*****] and [*****] in the United States as contemplated under this Section 4.2.4(c), such that there have been no Development activities conducted by a Party for at least a [*****] period, then [*****].

I.12

Manner of Performance; Reports.

I.1.4

Right to Subcontract Development Activities.

(a)

Required Subcontract Terms. A Party may subcontract the performance of any Development activities undertaken in accordance with this Agreement to one or more Subcontractors pursuant to a Subcontract, which Subcontract must (a) be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) contain confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than those set forth in ARTICLE IX, (c) contain a certification that such Third Party subcontractor has not been debarred, and is not subject to debarment, pursuant to Section 306 of the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, and is not the subject of a conviction described in such section, and (d) include an assignment or a sublicensable license back to the applicable Party of all Know-How and Patents developed, invented, or filed (as applicable) by or on behalf of the Subcontractor that are necessary or reasonably useful to Develop, Manufacture, or Commercialize the Collaboration Compounds or the Collaboration Products to the extent necessary for the applicable Party to be able to assign to the other Party or grant the other Party rights under such Know-How and Patents as required under this Agreement. The JDC shall oversee the performance of Subcontractors under material Subcontracts in the same manner and to the same extent as its oversight of the Parties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the subcontracting Party (or Party whose Affiliate enters into a Subcontract) shall remain liable under this Agreement for the performance of all its obligations under this Agreement and shall be responsible for and liable for compliance by its Subcontractors with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(a)

Approval of Subcontracts. If either Party desires to enter into an agreement with a Third Party contract research organization or other Third Party Subcontractor for the performance of a Development activity under the GDP (excluding, in the case of Taiho, any Subcontract under which [*****]), or desires to enter into an agreement with a Third Party partner for development of a companion diagnostic for the Collaboration Product, then, prior to entering into any Subcontract, the applicable Party shall obtain the JDC’s approval of use of the proposed Third Party to conduct the applicable activities proposed to be subcontracted.

(b)

Manufacturing Activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any subcontracting of Manufacturing activities in connection with Development shall be subject to Section 6.4.

Each Party shall be responsible for day-to-day implementation of the Development activities for which it (or its Affiliate) has or otherwise is assigned responsibility under this Agreement or the GDP and shall keep the other Party reasonably informed as to the progress of such activities by providing the reports and updates set forth in Section 4.3.3.

IV.1.5

Development Reports. Prior to each meeting of the JDC, each Party will provide to the other Party and the JDC a written summary of material Development activities undertaken by or on behalf of such Party in respect of Collaboration Products under the GDP since the previous meeting of the JDC, including significant Development events under the GDP (e.g., Clinical Study initiation or completion, clinical holds, and Regulatory Approvals), which report may be in the form of summary slides to be presented at the JDC meeting. Additionally, at each meeting of the JDC, each Party will report on the Development activities such Party and its Affiliates has performed or caused to be performed since the last meeting of the JDC as allocated to such Party under the GDP, evaluate the work performed in relation to the goals of the GDP and provide such other information as may be reasonably requested by the JDC with respect to such Development activities. If a Party fails to adequately provide such report prior to or at a meeting of the JDC, the other Party may request, and such Party will provide to such other Party, a written progress report that includes information regarding accrual, site initiation, progress on protocol writing, meeting requests and briefing documents, in the case of clinical or regulatory activities within the GDP, and in other cases such information as is reasonably necessary to convey a reasonably comprehensive understanding of the status of the applicable Development activity within the GDP. In addition, Taiho will provide an annual summary (in the form of PowerPoint slides) to the JDC at the first JDC meeting of each Calendar Year of significant Development activities undertaken by or on behalf of Taiho in respect of Collaboration Products in the OUS Territory outside the scope of the GDP, including significant Development events in the OUS Territory (e.g., Clinical Study initiation or completion, clinical holds, and Regulatory Approvals).

IV.1.6

Compliance Audits. With respect to any facility or site at which a Party, its Affiliates or its Subcontractor conducts Development activities pursuant to this Agreement or the GDP, the Parties shall collaborate with respect to inspections of such site and facility (which shall include Taiho having the right, at its expense, upon reasonable notice to Cullinan, during normal business hours, to inspect such facilities or sites of Cullinan, its Affiliate or Subcontractor), and shall share with the other Party any reports resulting from such inspections, to verify each Party’s and its Affiliates’ and Subcontractors’ compliance with the terms of this Agreement and all applicable Laws, including Good Laboratory Practices, Good Clinical Practices and current standards for pharmacovigilance practice. Inspections shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in ARTICLE IX. Each Party shall include in any contract or other written arrangement with its Subcontractors, a clause permitting such contracting Party to conduct inspections of such Subcontractor’s facilities or sites where Development activities pursuant to this Agreement or the GDP are performed, and use reasonable efforts to include the right for the other Party to conduct such inspections, provided that to the extent Cullinan does not obtain the right for Taiho to inspect such Subcontractor’s facilities or sites, Cullinan shall, at [*****]

expense, exercise its right to inspect such facilities or sites on behalf of Taiho as requested by Taiho.

IV.1.7

Development Standards. Each Party will perform, and ensure that their Affiliates and subcontractors perform, its Development activities as contemplated under this Agreement in a good scientific manner and in compliance with applicable Law, including (if applicable) laws regarding the environment, safety and industrial hygiene, and GMP, GLP, GCP, informed consent, current standards for pharmacovigilance practice, all applicable requirements relating to the protection of human subjects, and the Relevant Internal Policies. Each Party shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Subcontractors, maintain written or electronic records of the Development activities conducted under the GDP, including data and results resulting therefrom, in sufficient detail, in a good scientific manner (in accordance with GLP, GCP, and GMP, as applicable), and appropriate for regulatory and patent purposes, and that are complete and accurate in all material respects and properly reflect all Development work performed and results achieved, in each case, by or on behalf of such Party and its Affiliates under this Agreement.

I.13

Regulatory Submissions and Regulatory Approvals.

IV.1.8

Regulatory Responsibilities. The Party that holds an IND in accordance with the GDP shall be responsible for Regulatory Filings and interactions with the FDA with respect to the applicable Clinical Study. Unless otherwise agreed, as between the Parties, Taiho shall hold all INDs filed with respect to the Collaboration Product outside the United States and will be responsible for interactions with Regulatory Authorities outside the United States with respect to such INDs and the applicable Clinical Studies. To the extent responsibility for holding an IND with respect to a Clinical Study is transferred to another Party under the GDP, the Party holding such IND shall promptly transfer and assign the same to such other Party.

IV.1.9

Ownership of Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals. Subject to Section 4.4.1, as between the Parties, all Regulatory Filings submitted to a Regulatory Authority with respect to the Collaboration Product, including all applications for Regulatory Approvals in the Territory, shall be in the name of and owned by Taiho for Collaboration Product. To the extent a Party or its Affiliate is performing Development activities with respect to the Collaboration Product in accordance with this Agreement, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with the performing Party, including by making Regulatory Filings and submissions in its or its Affiliates possession or control available to the performing Party, and undertaking such regulatory interactions as the Party performing (or whose Affiliate is performing) such Development activities may reasonably request or the Regulatory Authority requires for such purposes.

IV.1.10

Regulatory Cooperation.

(a)

Subject to applicable Law, (i) each Party shall have the right to fully participate in all material meetings, conferences and discussions by the other Party or its Affiliate with any Regulatory Authority in the United States (including the FDA) in respect of Collaboration Products Developed under the GDP and (ii) in the event the Parties agree that Cullinan will hold any INDs or conduct Clinical Studies with respect to the Collaboration Product outside the United

States, Taiho shall similarly have the right to participate in all such interactions with such Regulatory Authorities pertaining to INDs held or Clinical Studies being conducted by Cullinan outside the United States. Each Party shall (A) to the extent possible, provide the other Party with reasonable advance notice of all such meetings and other contact and advance copies of all related documents and other relevant information relating to such meetings or other contact, and (B) shall promptly provide to the other Party any correspondence received from any Regulatory Authority in the U.S. (including the FDA) with respect to the Collaboration Products Developed under the GDP. To the extent Cullinan conducts any Development activities or holds any INDs for the Collaboration Product outside the United States, Cullinan shall promptly provide to Taiho all correspondence received from any Regulatory Authority outside the United States with respect to such activities or IND (or that otherwise pertain to the Collaboration Product). Notices, copies of submissions and correspondence, and other materials to be given in advance as provided in this Section 4.4.3(a) shall be provided at least [*****] Business Days in advance unless circumstances necessitate a shorter time period, and in any event not less than a reasonable time in advance under the circumstances.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing and without limiting the assistance and cooperation from Cullinan as Taiho may request as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that, as between the Parties, unless otherwise mutually agreed, Taiho shall be responsible for the preparation of and filing with the FDA all applications for Regulatory Approvals with respect to the Collaboration Product in the United States. In connection with any filings for Regulatory Approval of a Collaboration Product in the United States, Taiho shall (i) keep Cullinan reasonably informed with respect to such applications and (ii) provide Cullinan with a copy of all proposed Regulatory Filings (including applications for Regulatory Approval) to be filed with or submitted to any Regulatory Authority in the United States for Cullinan’s review and comment sufficiently in advance of filing or submission thereof (which may be accomplished by including a Cullinan representative in Taiho’s internal review process with respect to the material portions of such Regulatory Filings), and will consider in good faith all reasonable comments received from Cullinan regarding such Regulatory Filings. Additionally, Taiho will consult with and include Cullinan with respect to FDA interactions related to all applications for Regulatory Approvals with respect to the Collaboration Products Developed under the GDP. In addition, Taiho shall keep Cullinan reasonably informed with respect to material interactions with Regulatory Authorities in [*****] with respect to the Collaboration Product Developed under the GDP to the extent impacting interactions with the FDA regarding such Collaboration Products. For clarity, except as otherwise agreed, as between the Parties, Taiho shall be responsible for all Regulatory Filings and interactions with Regulatory Authorities regarding the Development and Regulatory Approval of the Collaboration Product in the OUS Territory and, except for Cullinan’s right to be reasonably informed pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Cullinan’s rights under this Section 4.4.3 shall not apply to such Regulatory Filings and interactions outside the United States, but Taiho shall use good faith efforts to keep Cullinan informed as to material regulatory matters with respect to the Collaboration Product in OUS Territory to the extent the same would impact Development of the Collaboration Product in the United States.

(c)

As requested by Taiho, Cullinan and its Affiliates shall provide Taiho

reasonable assistance, including by reasonably cooperating with Taiho and providing applicable Know-How and expertise and using reasonable efforts to cause manufacturing subcontractors or other suppliers to do the same, in order to prepare, defend and maintain Regulatory Filings for the Collaboration Product, including with respect to [*****] for MAAs in the United States and similar components for MAAs in the OUS Territory. All assistance provided by Cullinan and its Affiliates and subcontractors or suppliers under Section 4.4.2 and this Section 4.4.3(c) in respect of Regulatory Filings or regulatory interactions solely in the OUS Territory will be at [*****] cost and expense to the extent [*****], and [*****]. Cullinan shall not [*****].

IV.1.11

Rights of Reference and Access to Data. Each Party shall have the right to cross-reference the other Party’s or its Affiliate’s drug master file (“DMF”) and/or IND, if any, and any other Regulatory Filings anywhere in the world related to Collaboration Product, and to access such Regulatory Filings and any Data and Know-How therein and use such Data and Know-How, in each case, solely in connection with its Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization activities under this Agreement with respect to the Collaboration Product (or New Collaboration Product in the case of Taiho), including inclusion of such Data and Know-How in its own Regulatory Filings for the Collaboration Product (or New Collaboration Product in the case of Taiho) made in accordance with this Agreement. Each Party hereby grants to the other Party a “Right of Reference,” as that term is defined in 21 C.F.R. § 314.3(b) in the United States, or an equivalent exclusive right of access/reference in the United States or in any other country or region of the OUS Territory, to any Data, including such Party’s or its Affiliate’s clinical dossiers, controlled by such Party or such Affiliate that relates to a Collaboration Product for use by the other Party to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the Collaboration Product (or New Collaboration Product in the case of Taiho) in the Field in accordance with this Agreement. Each Party or such Affiliate shall provide a signed statement to this effect, if requested by the other Party, in accordance with 21 C.F.R. § 314.50(g)(3) or the equivalent as required in the United States or any country or region of the OUS Territory or otherwise provide appropriate notification of such right of the other Party to the applicable Regulatory Authority.

IV.1.12

Regulatory Audits. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith with respect to Regulatory Authority inspections of any site or facility where Clinical Studies or Manufacturing of Collaboration Product in the Field are conducted by or on behalf a Party pursuant to this Agreement, whether such site or facility is such Party’s or its Affiliate’s or Subcontractor’s (each an “Audited Site”). Taiho shall be given a reasonable opportunity, at its own cost, (taking into account the timing and notice provided by the applicable Regulatory Authority) to assist in the preparation of Cullinan’s and its Subcontractors’ Audited Sites for inspection, where appropriate, and to attend any inspection by any Regulatory Authority of such Audited Sites, and the summary, or wrap-up, meeting with a Regulatory Authority at the conclusion of such inspection. Each Party will provide to the other Party a copy of the report resulting from any Regulatory Authority audit of such Party’s or its Affiliate’s or Subcontractor’s Audited Site. If providing such report would result in the disclosure to the other Party of Confidential Information unrelated to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Parties shall enter into a reasonable and customary confidentiality agreement covering such unrelated subject matter. In the event that any Audited Site of a Party, its Affiliate or its Subcontractor is found to be non-compliant with one or more Good Laboratory

Practice, Good Clinical Practice, Good Manufacturing Practice or current standards for pharmacovigilance practice, such Party shall submit to the other Party a proposed recovery plan or Corrective and Preventative Actions (“CAPA”) within [*****] Business Days after such Party, its Affiliate or its Subcontractor receives notification of such non-compliance from the relevant Regulatory Authority and such Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement such recovery plan or CAPA promptly after submission.

I.14

Disclosure of Know-How. Cullinan shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) promptly share with or provide access to Taiho all clinical Data, and other Know-How and material Data, within the Product Intellectual Property that is conceived, made or generated by or on behalf of Cullinan, its Affiliates or Subcontractors during the Term, and the JDC may establish reasonable policies and procedures to effectuate such sharing of Know-How within the Product Intellectual Property.

I.15

Safety Reporting.

IV.1.13

Global Safety Database. Until [*****], Cullinan shall maintain a global safety database of adverse events and pregnancy reports for Collaboration Product, which shall be used for regulatory reporting and responses to safety queries from Regulatory Authorities by both Parties. At a time determined by the JDC reasonably prior to [*****], Cullinan shall transfer such global safety database for Collaboration Product to Taiho and thereafter, Taiho shall maintain, and be responsible for, the global safety database for Collaboration Product; provided that upon Cullinan’s request Taiho shall provide reasonable and timely assistance to facilitate compliance by Cullinan with legal and regulatory obligations or regulatory requests with respect to Collaboration Product for safety data that is available from the database.

IV.1.14

Pharmacovigilance Agreement. Within [*****]after the Effective Date, the Parties shall initiate good faith negotiations and thereafter promptly agree on processes and procedures for sharing pharmacovigilance data for the Parties to comply with pharmacovigilance regulatory obligations and applicable Laws. The agreed-upon processes and procedures shall be set forth in a pharmacovigilance agreement (the “Pharmacovigilance Agreement”) containing terms and conditions that are reasonable and customary for agreements of this type.

I.16

Costs of Joint Development.

IV.1.15

Cost Sharing.

(a)

Development Costs incurred in accordance with, and not exceeding, the Development Budget plus Development Costs incurred that are Allowable Overruns, in each case during the Term by the Parties or their Affiliates in connection with the Development for the Collaboration Product under, and performed in accordance with, the GDP shall be [*****].

(b)

Additionally, the Parties will [*****] the [*****]CMC Costs that were incurred on or after the effective date of the Stock Purchase Agreement through the Effective Date, up to a combined total of [*****]. On or after the Effective Date, [*****] will [*****]CMC Costs

incurred following the effective date of the Stock Purchase Agreement but prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement (less) and Taiho will pay such amounts to Cullinan within [*****]. [*****].

(c)

For the avoidance of double-counting, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Development Costs shall not be included in Allowable Expenses for purposes of calculating Pre-Tax Profit or Loss in accordance with the Financial Exhibit (and, likewise, that any amounts included in Allowable Expenses shall not be included in Development Costs). Payments under Existing Third Party Agreements incurred after the Effective Date that are attributable and allocable to the Development activities for which the Parties share (or reimburse) Development Costs under this Agreement shall be included as Development Costs shared (or reimbursed, as applicable) by the Parties.

IV.1.16

Development Costs Reports. Development Costs shall initially be borne by the Party incurring the cost or expenditure, subject to reimbursement as provided in Section 4.7.3. Each Party shall calculate and maintain records of Development Costs incurred by it and its Affiliates in accordance with procedures to be established by the Finance Working Group, and quarterly reconciliation, reasonable forecasting, and other finance and accounting matters related to Development Costs will be determined by the Finance Working Group (the “Development Reconciliation Procedures”). Such procedures will provide the ability to comply with financial reporting requirements of each Party. The Development Reconciliation Procedures shall require that (a) each Party provide a preliminary estimate of the Development Cost, in a format established by the Finance Working Group, by [*****] for purposes of financial statement close process and (b) within [*****], each Party submit to the Finance Working Group a report of actual Development Costs incurred by such Party, in such reasonable detail and format as is established by the Finance Working Group, which format shall be consistent with the categories calculated by the reporting Party in accordance with its Accounting Standards and sufficiently detailed to permit the other Party to obtain a reasonable understanding, of all Development Costs incurred by such Party during such Calendar Quarter (such reports of actual Development Costs described in (b), “Development Financial Reports”). Each Party agrees to provide preliminary estimates and reports of actual Development Costs in accordance with the foregoing sentence. Within [*****] following the receipt of such report, each Party shall have the right to request reasonable additional information and documentation (including documentation evidencing such Development Costs incurred) related to the other Party’s and its Affiliates’ Development Costs during such Calendar Quarter in order to finalize a written report, as described in Section 4.7.3, and the other Party will provide such reasonable additional information and documentation. The Finance Working Group shall establish reasonable procedures for the Parties to share estimated Development Costs for each Calendar Quarter prior to the end of such Calendar Quarter, to enable each Party to appropriately accrue its share of Development Costs for financial reporting purposes.

IV.1.17

Reimbursement of Development Costs. The Development Reconciliation Procedures shall provide for the Finance Working Group to develop a written report setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of any net amount owed by Cullinan to Taiho or by Taiho to Cullinan, as the case may be, as necessary to accomplish the sharing of Development Costs set

forth in Section 4.7.1, and to prepare such report promptly following delivery of the reports described in Section 4.7.2 and in a reasonable time in advance of payment pursuant to the Reconciliation Procedures. The Party that is due reimbursement of Development Costs shall invoice the other Party following receipt of the finalized report described in Section 7.2.5 from the Finance Working Group. Such payments by one Party to reimburse the other Party’s expenditures for Development Costs shall be payable [*****] following receipt of the foregoing invoice. In establishing the Development Reconciliation Procedures, the Finance Working Group shall work to coordinate and harmonize all Reconciliation Procedures to permit for reconciliation, and associated payments, with respect to Development Costs as well as Pre-Tax Profit or Loss in the United States.

IV.1.18

Excess Costs.

(a)

Responsibility for Excess Costs. In the event that the Development Costs (other than Material Core Program Amendment Excess Costs that Taiho initially bears pursuant to Section 4.7.5) incurred by or on behalf of a Party in a Calendar Year exceed the Allowable Overruns for such Calendar Year (such excess Development Costs incurred, the “Excess Costs”), then, except as set forth Section 4.7.4(b), the applicable Party incurring such Excess Costs shall be solely responsible for bearing such Excess Costs (and in the case both Parties incur Excess Costs in a Calendar Year, then [*****].

(b)

Carry Forward. If any Excess Costs are excluded from sharing by the Parties for a particular Calendar Year pursuant to the foregoing Section 4.7.4(a), such Excess Costs shall be carried forward to subsequent Calendar Years and, to the extent the total Development Costs, as applicable, incurred by such Party and its Affiliates for the subsequent Calendar Year are less than [*****] of the aggregate Development Costs allocated to such Party under the Last Agreed Development Budget for such Calendar Year, [*****]. Additionally, to the extent the Development Costs for a given Calendar Year are less than the Development Costs included in the Development Budget for such Calendar Year, because Development activities planned for such Calendar Year have been delayed to a subsequent Calendar Year, the Finance Working Group shall adjust the Development Budget for subsequent Calendar Years to reflect such delay (but without increasing the total cumulative Development Costs under the Development Budget for such Development activities). For clarity, such adjustment shall not be considered a Material Core Program Amendment.

IV.1.19

Material Core Program Amendments Due to Taiho Final Decision-Making. In the event of a Material Core Program Amendment for which Taiho exercised its final decision making authority under Section 2.6.2 to approve, [*****].

IV.1.20

Independent Development Activities for New Indications. In the event Taiho desires to conduct clinical Development for New Indication with respect to a Collaboration Product then being Developed under the GDP, Taiho shall be permitted to undertake such clinical Development for such New Indication provided that Taiho complies with the provisions of this Section 4.7.6. A “New Indication” means an Indication other than the Indications then being Developed for such Collaboration Product under the then-current GDP (or independently as

Independent ADA under this Section 4.7.6). In such event, Taiho shall notify the JDC of the proposed New Indication prior to Initiation of the first Registration Study of the Collaboration Product for such New Indication and provide a corresponding written notice to Cullinan regarding the proposed New Indication, which written notice will clearly state that Cullinan’s response is required within [*****] (each, a “New Indication Notice”).

(a)

Cullinan Opt-In Right. For each proposed New Indication, Cullinan shall have the right in accordance with this Section 4.7.6(a) below (“Opt-In Right”) to elect to co-fund the Development Costs with respect to such New Indication in accordance with Section 4.7.1. Upon request by Cullinan following receipt of a New Indication Notice, Taiho shall provide or make available to Cullinan non-clinical data, clinical Data (if any) and supporting documentation and analysis, in each case that were generated specifically with respect to such New Indication, were materially relied upon by Taiho in its decision to pursue Regulatory Approval for such New Indication and are available to Taiho, to the extent Taiho has the right to disclose the same to Cullinan, along with a good faith, bona fide proposed clinical Development plan and associated budget, which plan and budget (i) have been approved pursuant to Taiho’s internal budgeting and approval process and (ii) will be directed to generating data that is intended for use in obtaining Regulatory Approval of the Collaboration Product in the New Indication in the U.S., including to the extent generated in countries other than the U.S. (each, an “Opt-In Package”). Taiho shall provide or make available such other information that Cullinan may reasonably request in connection with its evaluation of the Opt-In Package, to the extent then within Taiho’s possession and Taiho has the right to disclose the same to Cullinan. Cullinan shall only have the right to exercise its Opt-In Right with respect to each such New Indication by providing written notice of such election to Taiho (each an “Opt-In Right Exercise Notice”) at any time after the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of: (A) the date that is [*****] days following receipt by Cullinan of the Opt-In Package with respect to such New Indication, and (B) the failure of Cullinan to request an Opt-In Package within [*****] days following the JDC’s and Cullinan’s receipt of the New Indication Notice with respect to such New Indication (“Opt-In Right Period”). If Cullinan exercises the Opt-In Right with respect to a New Indication during the applicable Opt-In Right Period, then upon such exercise such New Indication (as such Indication may be subsequently changed by the JSC in good faith) shall be deemed to be a “Cullinan Opted-In Indication” and the GDP and Development Budget shall be deemed to have been amended to include the proposed Development plan and associated budget, respectively, included in the Opt-In Package (such amendment, a “New Indication Amendment”). If Cullinan does not exercise the Opt-In Right with respect to such New Indication prior to the expiration of the applicable Opt-In Right Period, Taiho may independently Develop the Collaboration Product for uses within such New Indication.

(b)

Independent Performance of Activities. If Cullinan does not exercise its Opt-In Right with respect to a New Indication (such Indication, a “Taiho Funded Indication”), Taiho may initiate and conduct the Development activities for such New Indication on its own or with others, and as between the Parties, [*****] (each, an “Independent ADA”). For clarity, the Collaboration Product that is the subject of an Independent ADA shall continue to be a “Collaboration Product” for all purposes of this Agreement (except as otherwise set forth in this

Section 4.7.6). Taiho shall keep the JDC reasonably informed as to the progress and results with regard to the Independent ADAs. In the event Cullinan does not exercise the Opt-In Right with respect to a particular New Indication, and Taiho proceeds with the Development of such New Indication as a Taiho Funded Indication, any subsequent changes made in good faith to pursue a subset or smaller patient population of the Taiho Funded Indication shall be deemed within such Taiho Funded Indication for all purposes of this Agreement, and Taiho may proceed with such Development without additional obligation under this Section 4.7.6 as a result of such change. For clarity, a decision by Taiho resulting in a patient population expansion from the original Taiho Funded Indication for the applicable Collaboration Product or a change in original Taiho Funded Indication resulting from a material change in the underlying rationale for pursuing such Taiho Funded Indication will each be considered a distinct New Indication and the terms of this Section 4.7.6 will again apply.

(c)

Costs of Independent Development Activities. [*****]shall bear all additional costs and expenditures associated with the Independent ADA it undertakes, to the extent such costs are not otherwise included as Development Costs under the GDP and the associated Development Budget, and such additional costs shall not be deemed Excess Costs pursuant to Section 4.7.4, provided that upon efficacy Data generated from such Independent ADA being used in a substantive manner as the basis for obtaining new or expanded Regulatory Approval for a Collaboration Product or for commercial purposes for a Collaboration Product (“ADA Data Use”), then [*****]shall be entitled to recoup from Pre-Tax Profit the costs and expenditures it or its Affiliates incurs to Develop the Collaboration Product for such New Indication (“Independent ADA Costs”) as Recoupable Excess Cost pursuant to Section 4.7.7. Independent ADA Costs shall be determined in the same manner as Development Costs under the GDP.

IV.1.21

Recoupable Excess Costs. (a) Each Party shall be entitled to recoup [*****].

IV.1.22

New Collaboration Product. In the event Taiho determines to initiate GLP toxicology studies or other studies intended to support an IND filing for a Compound Product (a “New Collaboration Product”), then prior to initiating the first of such studies (whichever occurs first) Taiho shall submit to Cullinan a good faith, bona fide plan and budget for the Development of such New Collaboration Product, which plan and budget (A) have been approved pursuant to Taiho’s internal budgeting and approval process, and (B) will be directed to generating data that is intended for use in obtaining Regulatory Approval of the New Collaboration Product in the U.S., including to the extent generated in countries other than the U.S. (a “New Product Package”), along with a good faith description of the New Collaboration Product and a summary of key results of the pre-clinical Development thereof conducted by Taiho, all as the same exist, and are known to and controlled by Taiho, as of the date of such New Product Package and notice of the costs Taiho previously incurred to Develop such New Collaboration Product up to such time (“Prior Costs”). Upon Cullinan’s request, Taiho shall provide reasonable documentation supporting the Prior Costs. Within [*****] days after receipt of such New Product Package, Cullinan shall have the right to elect upon written notice, along with a payment to Taiho of an amount equal to [*****] of the Prior Costs, to include such New Collaboration Product in the definition of Collaboration Product under this Agreement as further described below. Such election notice (including such

payment) shall be referred to as the “New Product Opt-In Notice,” and the date of such notice and payment shall be referred to as the “New Product Opt-In Notice Date.”

(a)

Following the New Product Opt-In Notice Date the GDP and Development Budget shall be deemed to have been amended to include the proposed Development plan and associated budget, respectively, included in the New Product Package (such amendment, a “New Collaboration Product Amendment”).

(b)

If Cullinan does not provide a New Product Opt-In Notice to Taiho within [*****] days after receipt of the New Product Package:

(i)

such New Collaboration Product shall be excluded from the definition of Collaboration Product;

(ii)

Taiho may independently Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize such New Collaboration Product on its own or with others;

(iii)

as between the Parties, Taiho shall bear all of its and its Affiliates costs for the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of such New Collaboration Product and shall retain all proceeds therefrom (and for clarity, Cullinan shall not share any Pre-Tax Profit or Loss from such New Collaboration Product); and

(iv)

Cullinan shall have an option to Co-Promote the Collaboration Product (“Co-Promotion Option”) in the United States in accordance with the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE V following the Regulatory Approval of the Collaboration Product for [*****] in the United States (“[*****] Approval”). As part of such Co-Promotion Option, Taiho shall notify Cullinan in writing of the date that Taiho estimates in good faith will be the date of [*****] Approval (such date, the “Estimated [*****] Approval Date”), no more than [*****] and no less than [*****] prior to such estimated date. To exercise its Co-Promotion Option, Cullinan shall notify Taiho in writing no later than the date that is [*****] prior to the Estimated [*****] Approval Date previously provided by Taiho. If Cullinan does not so exercise the Co-Promotion Option by the date that is [*****] prior to the Estimated [*****]Approval Date, Cullinan will be deemed to have relinquished definitively its Co-Promotion Option for all purposes

will become effective and supersede the previous Co-Promotion Plan. Amendments and updates to the Co-Promotion Plan, shall not be effective without the approval of the JSC (including via a decision or determination pursuant to Section 2.6.2). In the event that the JSC does not approve an updated Co-Promotion Plan prior to the start of the next Calendar Year, the then-current Co-Promotion Plan shall continue to apply until the updated Co-Promotion Plan is agreed by the JSC (including via a decision or determination pursuant to Section 2.6.2).

Beginning on the date when either Party first incurs an Allowable Expense or generates Net Sales or Other Income in accordance with this Agreement, after the end of each Calendar Quarter each Party shall provide to the Finance Working Group a report of its calculation of actual Pre-Tax Profit or Loss and Allowable Expenses (which shall include a report of the Net Sales (broken out by gross sales less applicable deductions) and Other Income, if any) with respect to such Collaboration Product for such Calendar Quarter (a “Financial Report”), in such reporting format and detail as the Finance Working Group shall establish for use, which reporting format shall be consistent with the categories calculated by each Party in accordance with its Accounting Standards; provided, however, that a preliminary estimate of the Allowable Expenses, in a format and at a time agreed by the Finance Working Group, shall be provided by each Party for purposes of financial statement close process. Each Financial Report shall specify in reasonable detail any Net Sales (broken out by gross sales less applicable deductions), Other Income or Allowable Expenses or other amounts necessary to calculate Pre-Tax Profit or Loss for the United States for such Collaboration Product in the corresponding Calendar Quarter received and incurred by each Party or any of its Affiliates in accordance with this Agreement in such Calendar Quarter.

VII.1.4

Net Sales Reporting. It is understood that initial reporting of Net Sales pursuant to this Section 7.2 may be based on estimated accruals with respect to deductions from gross sales to calculate Net Sales for a Calendar Quarter and the Reconciliation Procedures will include mechanisms to reconcile in subsequent Calendar Quarters those estimated accruals based on actual amounts.

VII.1.5

Reconciliation and Payment

(a)

Reconciliation Discussion. In the event that either Party has any questions or concerns regarding the Development Costs (including with respect to Section 4.7.2) or calculation of Pre-Tax Profit or Loss or Allowable Expenses reported by the other Party in a Financial Report or Development Financial Report pursuant to this Section 7.2 or Section 4.7.2, the Finance Working Group shall endeavor to resolve such questions and concerns of either Party after the end of the Calendar Quarter for which such questions or concerns are raised.

(b)

Quarterly Reconciliation Payment. After receipt of the Financial Reports provided pursuant to Section 7.2 or Development Financial Reports pursuant to Section 4.7.2, the Finance Working Group shall confer and agree in writing on a reconciliation report setting out in reasonable detail the calculation of Pre-Tax Profit or Loss in the United States and any payment to be paid by Cullinan to Taiho or by Taiho to Cullinan (including in respect of Development Costs), as the case may be, (“Balancing Payment”) in order to effect the sharing of Development Costs in accordance Section 4.7.3 and the sharing of Pre-Tax Profit or Loss in accordance with this Section 7.2 and the Financial Exhibit. Each Party that is owed a Balancing Payment shall invoice the other Party for the amount of the Balancing Payment due and the other Party shall pay such invoiced amount within [*****] after delivery of such invoice.

II.18

Existing Third Party Agreement Payments. Payments under the Existing Third Party Agreements incurred after the Effective Date that are attributable and allocable to the activities undertaken by the Parties in accordance with this Agreement shall (a) to the extent allocable to a Collaboration Product for the U.S., be included as (i) Development Costs to the extent set forth in Section 4.7.1(c) or (ii) otherwise will be included as Allowable Expenses as “Existing Third Party Agreement Payments” in determining Pre-Tax Profit or Loss as provided in the Financial Exhibit and (b) to the extent allocable to a Collaboration Product for the OUS Territory or to another product (other than a Collaboration Product) be borne by Taiho. In the event that Taiho

proposes to terminate or reduce the amount of any Existing Third Party Agreement Payments by making a payment to the counter-party to such Existing Third Party Agreement, it shall first discuss such proposal with Cullinan; and if Taiho in fact makes such a payment to terminate or reduce the amount of any Existing Third Party Agreement Payments (such payment, a “Buy Out Payment”) and Cullinan does not agree, within [*****] after Taiho notifies Cullinan that Taiho has made such a Buy Out Payment, to pay (and then promptly pay) to Taiho [*****] (or, if applicable, the portion described in the following sentence) of such Buy Out Payment made by Taiho, then the amount by which the Existing Third Party Agreement Payments were reduced shall instead be included in the Allowable Expenses (as an expense of Taiho’s, notwithstanding that Taiho does not actually incur such expense) and taken into account in calculating Pre-Tax Profit or Loss. In the event that such a Buy Out Payment is made by Taiho in connection with rights for products other than the Collaboration Product in the U.S. (e.g. for products other than Collaboration Products or for rights to exploit the Collaboration Products outside of the U.S.), the percentage of such Buy Out Payment to be paid by Cullinan would be [*****] of that portion of the Buy Out Payment that is fairly attributable and allocable to rights for Collaboration Product in the U.S. as of the date of the Buy Out Payment, as mutually agreed by the Parties within such [*****] period, and if the Parties fail to agree on such allocation within such [*****] period, then upon request by either Party, the matter shall be resolved by the Finance Working Group.

II.18.1

Notwithstanding the foregoing and the Financial Exhibit, Cullinan shall be solely responsible for [*****] of the payments owed under the Cullinan Pearl Royalty Agreements arising with respect to sales in [*****] (“[*****] Royalties”). Accordingly, (i) the Reconciliation Procedures shall provide for the Pre-Tax Profit and Loss to be adjusted to ensure that Cullinan bears [*****] of the [*****] Royalties and (ii) in the event that Taiho proposes a Buy Out Payment with respect to amounts owed under the Cullinan Pearl Royalty Agreements and Cullinan does not agree to pay to Taiho [*****] of such Buy Out Payment that is fairly attributable and allocable to [*****] as of the date of the Buy Out Payment (as determined in the last sentence of Section 7.3 mutatis mutandis) and if Taiho in fact makes such a Buy Out Payment, then the amount by which the [*****] Royalties were reduced shall instead be included in the Allowable Expenses (as an expense of Taiho’s, notwithstanding that Taiho does not actually incur such expense) and taken into account in calculating Pre-Tax Profit or Loss such that Cullinan bears [*****] of such Allowable Expense.

II.19

Audits. During the Term and for a period of three years thereafter (or such longer period as required by Applicable Law), each Party and its Affiliates shall keep complete and accurate records of the items underlying Development Costs, Allowable Expenses, Other Income, Net Sales (including gross sales and all applicable deductions), payments under Existing Third Party Agreements and the other elements required to prepare the reports or calculate payments required by Sections 4.7.2, 4.7.3, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 and the Reconciliation Procedures, and any other payments under this Agreement, including, in respect of FTE Costs, the number or fractional amount of FTEs spent on Development activities and non-Development activities and for Sales Representatives. During the Term and for a period of three years thereafter (or such longer period as required by Applicable Law), each Party will have the right, at its own expense and no more frequently than once in any 12-month period, unless for cause, to have an independent certified

public accountant, selected by such Party from internationally reputable accounting firms reasonably acceptable to the other Party, review any such records of the other Party and its Affiliates in the location(s) where such records are maintained by the other Party or its Affiliates upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice and during regular business hours and under obligations of confidence, for the sole purpose of verifying the basis and accuracy of payments made under Sections 4.7.2, 4.7.3, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 and the Reconciliation Procedures, and any other payments due under this Agreement, within the prior 36-month period. If the review of such records reveals that the other Party has failed to accurately report information pursuant to Section 4.7.2, 4.7.3, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3, or the Reconciliation Procedures, or make any payment (or portion thereof) required under this Agreement, then the other Party shall promptly pay to the auditing Party any underpaid amounts due under Sections 4.7.2, 4.7.3, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3, or the Reconciliation Procedures, or otherwise due under this Agreement, together with interest calculated in the manner provided in Section 7.9. If any such discrepancies are an underpayment of amounts due under this Agreement, or overpayment of amounts reimbursed based on the other Party’s invoice or reporting under this Agreement, in each case greater than [*****] of the amounts actually due for the period covered by the audit, the other Party shall pay all reasonable costs incurred in conducting such review. Once a Party has conducted a review and audit of the other Party pursuant to this Section 7.4 in respect of any given period, it may not subsequently re-inspect the other Party’s or its Affiliates’ records in respect of such period, unless a subsequent audit of a separate reporting period uncovers fraud on the part of the audited Party that is reasonably expected to have been occurring during the prior audited period. However, if a discrepancy is identified by the accountant during the course of an audit and the Parties do not agree upon a resolution of such discrepancy, then the auditing Party’s accountant may re-inspect the books and records to the extent reasonably relevant to resolving such discrepancy.

II.20

Withholding Taxes.

VII.1.6

Each Party will make all payments to each other under this Agreement without deduction or withholding for Taxes (as that term is defined in Section 7.5.5 below) except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by law in effect at the time of payment.

I.1.8

Any Tax required to be withheld on amounts payable under this Agreement will promptly be paid by the Party (or its applicable United States or Japanese Affiliate) making the payment (the “Payor”) on behalf of the Party receiving the payment (the “Payee”) to the appropriate Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a reasonable amount of time prior to making any payment that is subject to withholding, the Payor shall (a) notify the Payee in writing that (i) such payment is subject to withholding, (ii) the amount that will be withheld or rate of withholding, and (iii) a reasonable description of the provision of applicable Law that requires such withholding and (b) provide the Payee a reasonable opportunity to provide any forms, certificates, applications or other documents or evidence that would exempt or reduce the amount required to be withheld. The Payor shall reasonably cooperate with the Payee with respect to item (b) of the prior sentence and with respect to any reasonable request or application for a refund from a Governmental Authority of amounts previously withheld and paid over to such Governmental Authority (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be prepared by the Payee, and filed by the

Payor (or its applicable Affiliate)). Such cooperation shall include the Payor, at Payee’s reasonable written request, requesting an extension from the applicable Governmental Authority for a late submission of any forms, certificates, applications or other documents or evidence that would exempt or reduce the amount required to be withheld. Within thirty days after the date of any amounts withheld or deducted by the Payor, the Payor shall furnish to the Payee the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment to the applicable Governmental Authority or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Payee. Except as provided in Section 7.5.3, any such Tax, to the extent withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority, (a) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Payee, and (b) will be an expense of and borne by Payee.

I.1.9

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that a Payor redomiciles, performs its obligations under this Agreement outside of the United States or Japan or assigns its rights or obligations in accordance with Section 14.1 (each, a “Tax Action”), and as a result of such Tax Action the amount of Tax required to be withheld under Section 7.5.1 in respect of a payment by such Payor to a Payee is greater than the amount of such Tax that would have been required to be withheld or paid absent such Tax Action, then any such amount payable shall be increased to take into account such withholding taxes as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings (including withholdings on the additional amounts payable), the Payee receiving such payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Tax Action been made. The obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not apply, however, to the extent such increased withholding Tax (i) would not have been imposed but for a Tax Action taken by the Party eligible to receive additional amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence or (ii) are attributable to the failure by the Party receiving a payment to comply with the requirements of Section 7.5.4. The Payor and the Payee shall reasonably cooperate with respect to any reasonable request or application for a refund from a Governmental Authority of amounts previously withheld and paid over to such Governmental Authority (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be prepared by the Payee and filed by the Payor (or its applicable Affiliate)) pursuant to this Section 7.5.3. For purposes of this Section 7.5.3, a “redomiciliation” shall include a reincorporation or other action resulting in a change in tax residence of the applicable Party or its assignee.

I.1.10

Each Party has provided a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 or applicable Form W-8 to the other Party. The Parties will make reasonable best efforts to minimize or eliminate any Tax withholding, including by cooperating with respect to all documentation required by any applicable taxing authority or reasonably requested by either Party to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding Taxes and qualifying for the benefits of any applicable Tax treaty.

I.1.11

For purposes of this Section 7.5, “Tax” or “Taxes” means any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, assessments or fees in the nature of a tax (including interest, penalties and additions thereto).

II.21

Indirect Taxes. All payments are exclusive of Indirect Taxes. If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any payments, the paying Party shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of such payments following receipt, where applicable, of an Indirect Taxes invoice in the appropriate form issued by the receiving Party in respect of those payments. The Parties shall issue invoices for all amounts payable under this Agreement consistent with Indirect Tax requirements and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes. If the Indirect Taxes originally paid or otherwise borne by the paying Party are in whole or in part determined to be refundable to the receiving Party (including by reason of not having been properly chargeable in the first instance), all reasonably necessary steps requested by the paying Party will be taken by the receiving Party to receive a refund of such Indirect Taxes from the applicable Governmental Authority or other fiscal authority and any amount of such Indirect Taxes repaid or refunded by such authority to the receiving Party (net of any amounts incurred with respect to the receipt of such amounts) will be transferred to the paying Party within sixty (60) days of receipt. “Indirect Taxes” means any value added, sales, purchase, turnover or consumption tax as may be applicable in any relevant jurisdiction.

I.11

Tax Matters.

I.11.1

Tax Treatment. Not later than 180 days after the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall jointly agree in writing on the treatment of the relationship between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement for applicable Tax purposes and shall file tax returns or other reporting obligation consistent with such determination unless required by a tax authority upon final resolution of an audit or other examination. In the event, based on the written advice of an internationally recognized “Big 4” accounting firm that partnership treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes is “more likely than not” required or following a determination by a Governmental Authority on audit or other examination that partnership treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes is required, a Party treats the arrangement as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Parties agree to report consistently with such determination and shall reasonably cooperate with one another to satisfy any Tax filing or reporting obligation arising as a result of such determination, including by providing any information, forms or other certifications necessary to satisfy such obligations. The preparation of any Tax returns or Tax filing or reporting obligations described in this Section 7.7.1, any audits or other proceedings over such Tax returns or filings and obligations and any other disputes regarding this Section 7.7.1 shall be resolved by the Finance Working Group. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the sharing of the Pre-Tax Profit or Loss is not with respect to the transferring, licensing or sublicensing of any intellectual property including any Product Intellectual Property and Know-How by one Party to the other Party (or any of their respective Affiliates).

I.11.2

Cooperation on Inter-Party Structure. Each Party shall cooperate in good faith if requested by the other Party to establish or facilitate an optimal inter-Party financial operational structure which is consistent with the economic result contemplated herein, consistent to the extent feasible with each Party’s internal structures and procedures, and not adverse to the Parties financial, economic, or tax positions.

I.12

Currency Exchange.

I.1.12

Currency of Payments. All payments under this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to an account designated by the receiving Party (which account the receiving Party may update from time to time in writing).

I.1.13

Currency Conversion. For the purpose of calculating any amounts due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Development Costs or Allowable Expenses expressed in currencies other than U.S. Dollars), in the case of any amounts designated in another currency, each Party shall convert such foreign currency into U.S. Dollars using its standard conversion method consistent with applicable Accounting Standards in a manner consistent with the respective Party’s customary and usual conversion procedures used in preparing its audited financial reports applied on a consistent basis, provided that such procedures use a widely accepted source of published exchange rates. With respect to Collaboration Product, the Parties shall [*****] any Currency Gains and Losses as a result of such conversion. For the purposes of this Section 7.8.2, “Currency Gains and Losses” means the gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates between the functional currency and the foreign currency in which the transaction is denominated, to the extent specifically identifiable to a Collaboration Product and shall only include the actual currency gains and losses realized between the end of a Calendar Quarter and the date of invoice payment for that Calendar Quarter.

I.13

Late Payments. If either Taiho or Cullinan shall fail to make a timely payment pursuant to Section 4.7, 7.2 or any other provisions of this Agreement, any such payment that is not paid on or before the date such payment is due under this Agreement shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to[*****], but in no event higher than the highest rate permissible under Law, effective for the first date on which payment was delinquent and calculated on the number of days such payment is overdue.

I.14

Resolution of Financial Disputes. In the event there is a dispute, claim or controversy relating to any financial obligation by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement (other than a FWG Dispute), such Party shall provide such other Party with a written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and factual basis for such good-faith dispute and each Party agrees that it shall seek to resolve such dispute within 20 Business Days of the date such written notice is received. In the event that no such resolution is reached by the Parties, such dispute shall be resolved through the procedures set forth in Section 13.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any specific amount (or portion of a payment) owed by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement that is not subject to a good faith dispute shall be paid when due.

ARTICLE VIII

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP, PROTECTION AND RELATED MATTERS

II.22

Ownership, Disclosure and Assignment of Product Intellectual Property.

VIII.0.1

Product Intellectual Property. The Parties acknowledge and agree that no Product Intellectual Property exists as of the Effective Date.

As between the Parties, Taiho shall have the first right to prepare, file, prosecute, maintain, abandon (waiver) (“Prosecute”) any Taiho Patent or Product Patent anywhere in the world, at Taiho’s sole cost and expense (subject to the final sentence of this Section 8.2). Cullinan agrees to reasonably cooperate, and to cause its Affiliates to cooperate, with Taiho with respect to the Prosecution of Taiho Patents or Product Patents pursuant to this Section 8.2. Taiho will keep Cullinan reasonably informed as to material developments with respect to the Prosecution of the Taiho Patents and Product Patents and will provide Cullinan a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on substantive communications from any patent authority in the U.S. regarding the Taiho Patents or Product Patents, as well as drafts of any substantive filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities in advance of submitting such filings or responses. Taiho will consider Cullinan’s comments regarding such communications and drafts in good faith. In addition, Taiho will provide Cullinan with (a) copies of all final substantive filings and responses made to any patent authority in the United States with respect to the Taiho Patents or Product Patents in a timely manner following submission thereof and (b) notice in advance of abandoning any Taiho Patents or Product Patents in the United States. If Taiho decides to abandon Prosecution of a particular Taiho Patent or Product Patent that covers a Collaboration Product in the United States during the Term, then it will promptly provide written notice to Cullinan of such decision and Cullinan may, upon written notice to Taiho, assume such Prosecution of such Patent in the United States in Taiho’s name. The FTE Costs and Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred by a Party with respect to the Prosecution of Taiho Patents and Product Patents in the United States will be included as Shared Patent Costs in the calculation of Pre-Tax Profit or Loss in accordance with the Financial Exhibit.

II.24

Third Party Infringement.

VIII.1.3

VIII.1.6

Patent Invalidity Claim.

VIII.1.7

Right to Respond. If during the Term a Third Party initiates a patent opposition, reexamination, inter partes review, post grant review, or other proceeding in the US Patent Office, European Patent Office or equivalent office in any other jurisdiction, asserting that any Taiho Patent or Product Patent is invalid or otherwise unenforceable, as between the Parties Taiho shall control the response to such Invalidity Claim. To the extent such invalidity or enforceability claim could limit or invalidate a Taiho Patent or Product Patent in the United States, such claim is referred to below as an “Invalidity Claim.”

VIII.1.8

Conduct of Certain Actions; Costs. Cullinan shall cooperate with Taiho in the preparation and formulation of a response to an Invalidity Claim, and in taking other steps reasonably necessary to respond, to such Invalidity Claim as requested by Taiho.

The Out-of-Pocket Costs in defending, and providing requested assistance in the defense of, such Invalidity Claim in the United States shall be included in an Allowable Expense as a Shared Patent Cost, and otherwise borne by Taiho. To the extent any amounts are paid to a Third Party in settlement of such Invalidity Claim in the United States, the same shall be included in Allowable Expenses as a Shared Patent Cost, and otherwise borne by the controlling Party.

II.26

Claimed Infringement. Each of the Parties shall promptly notify the other in the event that any Third Party files any suit or brings any other action alleging intellectual property infringement by Taiho or Cullinan or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or use of any Collaboration Product in the United States (any such suit or other action referred to herein as an “Infringement Claim”). In the case of any Infringement Claim, Taiho shall control the response to such Infringement Claim. Upon the request of Taiho, Cullinan shall reasonably cooperate with Taiho at Taiho’s expense in the reasonable defense of such Infringement Claim. Cullinan will have the right to consult with Taiho concerning any Infringement Claim against Cullinan and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in any associated litigation at its own expense.

Taiho shall own rights to any Internet domain names incorporating the Product Trademark(s) or any variation or part of such Product Trademark(s) as its URL address or any part of such address. All reasonable costs of establishing, maintaining and enforcing the Product Trademarks (the “Product Trademark Costs”) for the United States with respect to a Collaboration Product shall be an Allowable Expense and shall be taken into account in determining Pre-Tax Profit or Loss as, and to the extent, provided in the Financial Exhibit and otherwise, shall be borne by Taiho.

VIII.1.11

Trademark License. To the extent Cullinan exercises its Co-Promotion Option, Taiho, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, shall grant to Cullinan and its Affiliates a royalty-free, fully paid up, non-exclusive license to use the Product Trademark(s) solely as included in the applicable Promotional Materials and solely for the purpose of conducting Co-Promotion activities with respect to Collaboration Product in accordance with the Co-Promotion Plan and this Agreement.

VIII.1.12

Product Trademarks and Co-Branding. Unless otherwise determined by Taiho, all packaging materials, labels and Promotional Materials relating to Collaboration Product in the Field shall display the Product Trademark(s) and no other product-specific trademarks or branding.

The trade dress, style of packaging and the like with respect to each Collaboration Product in the Field may be determined by Taiho in a manner that is consistent with Taiho’s standard trade dress and style or as Taiho otherwise determines.

VIII.1.13

Enforcement. In the event Cullinan becomes aware of any infringement of any Product Trademark by a Third Party, Cullinan shall promptly notify Taiho. Taiho shall be responsible in its sole discretion for all such enforcement efforts, including the cost thereof, for infringements in the Territory, and (a) such costs in the United States in respect of Collaboration Product (including for any cooperation provided by Cullinan at Taiho’s request), to the extent reasonable, shall be included as an Allowable Expense as a Product Trademark Cost and (b) recoveries in the United States shall be considered Other Income. Taiho shall keep Cullinan reasonably informed of such efforts to enforce the Product Trademarks in the United States and will consider any comments provided by Cullinan with respect to any such enforcement efforts in the U.S. in good faith. Upon Taiho’s reasonable request, Cullinan shall reasonably cooperate with Taiho in such enforcement efforts, and, if such cooperation relates to enforcement actions taken by Taiho in the OUS Territory, then Taiho will reimburse Cullinan and its Affiliates for all Out-Of-Pocket Costs and FTE Costs incurred by Cullinan with respect to such cooperation within 30 days following Cullinan’s invoice therefor, to the extent Taiho expressly requested such cooperation, provided that Cullinan shall not incur more than [*****] of such Out-Of-Pocket Costs and FTE Costs without Taiho’s prior written approval, and if Taiho does not approve such costs, then Cullinan will not be obligated to provide the corresponding assistance.

II.29

Confidential Information. During the Term and for a period of seven years after any termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party agrees to, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep in confidence and not to disclose to any Third Party, or use for any purpose, except pursuant to, and in order to carry out, the terms and objectives of this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the other Party. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means (i) information of a confidential, proprietary, or sensitive nature, including Know-How and any technical, scientific, trade, research, manufacturing, business, financial, marketing, product, supplier, intellectual property information, given by one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) or its Affiliates to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) or its Affiliates in connection with activities conducted under this Agreement and (ii) the terms of this Agreement. The restrictions on the disclosure and use of Confidential Information set forth in the first sentence of this Section 9.1 shall not apply to any Confidential Information (and such information will not be deemed “Confidential Information” hereunder) that:

(b)

is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates in violation of this Agreement;

(c)

is disclosed to the Receiving Party or its Affiliate by a Third Party having a legal right to make such disclosure without violating any confidentiality or non-use obligation that such Third Party has to the Disclosing Party or an Affiliate thereof; or

(d)

is independently developed by personnel of the Receiving Party or its Affiliate without reliance on the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s or such Affiliate’s written records or other competent evidence).

For purposes of this Agreement, all information within the Product Intellectual Property and any Confidential Information concerning the Collaboration Product (including Net Sales, information regarding Clinical Studies, Pre-Tax Profit or Loss and the like) shall (1) be considered Confidential Information of Taiho and not of Cullinan, and (2) notwithstanding this Section 9.1, the exceptions set forth in paragraphs (a), (c) and (d) above shall not apply to such information to the extent such information was generated or learned by Cullinan or its Affiliate in connection with the Manufacture, Development or Commercialization of the Collaboration Compound or the Collaboration Product prior to the Effective Date or is generated or learned by Cullinan or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, unless and until any such exception set forth in paragraph (c) or (d) applies, independent of activities performed in connection with this Agreement, for the first time following the Effective Date. Additionally, subject to the foregoing sentence and Section 7.2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, all “Confidential Information” (as defined in the Prior CDA) that was disclosed by one Party or its Affiliate to the other Party under the Prior CDA shall be deemed Confidential Information of the Party that originally disclosed such Confidential Information.

II.30

Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may use and disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (including terms of this Agreement or the status or results of the exploitation of the Collaboration Products) as follows: (a) under appropriate confidentiality obligations substantially equivalent to those in this Agreement, to its Affiliates, employees, directors, consultants, advisors, Subcontractors and other Third Parties to the extent such use and/or disclosure is reasonably necessary to perform its obligations or to exercise the rights granted to it under this Agreement; or (b) to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in (i) prosecuting or defending litigation, (ii) complying with applicable Law, regulations or legal process, including the rules or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or similar regulatory agency in a country other than the United States or of any stock exchange (including NASDAQ), (iii) order to respond to a valid order of a court or other governmental body, (iv) conducting Clinical Studies hereunder with respect to a Collaboration Product in the Field, (v) in Regulatory Filings or other communications or submissions to Regulatory Authorities, or submitting information to tax or other Governmental Authorities and (vi) in order to Prosecute and enforce Patents in accordance with this Agreement.

II.31

Recipient Obligations. The Receiving Party agrees that it and its Affiliates shall provide or permit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and its Affiliates only to Receiving Party’s employees, directors, consultants, advisors and Subcontractors, and to the employees, directors, consultants, advisors and Subcontractors of its Affiliates who are subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information substantially the same as the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the Receiving Party pursuant to Section 9.1, provided that the Receiving Party shall remain responsible for any failure by its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ respective employees, directors, consultants, advisors and Subcontractors, to treat such Confidential Information as required under Section 9.1 (as if such Affiliates, directors, employees, consultants, advisors and Subcontractors were the Receiving Party itself and directly bound to the requirements of Section 9.1).

II.32

Confidential Terms. Subject to Section 9.2, each Party agrees not to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, disclose to any Third Party the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except each Party and its Affiliates may disclose the terms of this Agreement without such consent to advisors (including financial advisors, attorneys and accountants), actual or potential acquisition partners or private investors, lenders, sublicensees, financial or commercial partners (including as part of a securitization transaction) and others on a need to know basis, in each case under appropriate confidentiality provisions substantially equivalent to those in this Agreement.

Claims for General Indemnification.

Notice.

XI.1.2

Defense. Within 30 days after delivery of a notice of any Claim in accordance with Section 11.4.1, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.

Each of the Parties shall promptly notify the other in the event that any Third Party asserts or files any product liability Claim or other Action relating to alleged defects in the Collaboration Product (whether design defects, manufacturing defects, defects in sales or marketing, failure to warn or the like) (“Third Party Product Liability Action”) against such Party. In the event of a Third Party Product Liability Action against such a single Party, the unnamed Party shall have the right, in the unnamed Party’s sole discretion, to join or otherwise participate in such legal action with legal counsel selected by the unnamed Party and reasonably acceptable to the named Party. The Party named in such Third Party Product Liability Action shall have the right to control the defense of the action as it pertains to such Party, but shall notify and keep the unnamed Party apprised in writing of such action and shall consider and take into account the unnamed Party’s reasonable interests and requests and suggestions regarding the defense of

ARTICLE XII

TERM AND TERMINATION

I.80

Term. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with this ARTICLE XII, this Agreement shall remain in force for the Term.

I.81

Termination For Material Breach.

XII.0.1

Termination. Upon any material breach of this Agreement by a Party (the “Breaching Party”), the other Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement by providing [*****] written notice to the Breaching Party in the case of a breach of a payment obligation and [*****]’ written notice to the Breaching Party in the case of any other material breach, which notice shall, in each case (i) expressly reference this Section 12.2, (ii) reasonably describe the alleged breach which is the basis of such termination, and (iii) clearly state the Non-Breaching Party’s intent to terminate this Agreement if the alleged breach is not cured within the applicable cure period (“Termination Notice”). The termination shall become effective at the end of the notice period unless the Breaching Party cures such breach during such notice period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such breach, by its nature, is curable, but is not reasonably curable within the applicable cure period, then such cure period shall be extended if the Breaching Party provides a written plan for curing such breach to the Non-Breaching Party and uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such breach in accordance with such written plan, provided that no such extension shall exceed an additional [*****] and the cure period shall only be so extended one time without the consent of the Non-Breaching Party.

I.1.2

Disputes Regarding Material Breach. In the event that the Party alleged by the other Party to have committed a material breach under Section 12.2.1 reasonably and in good faith disputes the occurrence of such material breach, then the alleged Breaching Party shall provide written notice thereof to the Non-Breaching Party prior to expiration of the applicable cure period under Section 12.2.1 for such alleged material breach and thereafter the issue of whether the Non-Breaching Party may properly terminate this Agreement on expiration of the applicable cure period will be resolved in accordance with ARTICLE XIII. As of the date that the alleged Breaching Party delivers to the Non-Breaching Party written notice disputing such claim of material breach the applicable cure period under Section 12.2.1 for such alleged material breach shall begin to be tolled; provided that as soon as practicable following the appointment of the arbitrator for any arbitration proceeding conducted pursuant to this Section 12.2.2, the arbitrator shall determine whether such dispute has been brought in good faith by the alleged Breaching Party. If the arbitrator determines that the alleged Breaching Party has brought such dispute in good faith, then the tolling of the applicable cure period shall continue, the Non-Breaching Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement unless and until it has been finally determined in accordance with Section 13.2 that the alleged Breaching Party is in material breach of this Agreement and the Breaching Party fails to cure such breach within the time period remaining in the applicable cure period as of the date of such determination (the “Additional Cure Period”). If the arbitrator determines that such dispute was not brought in good faith, then the applicable cure period shall cease to be tolled as of the date of such determination. It is understood that such determination of the arbitrator under this Section 12.2.2 shall not be binding on either Party as to the question of whether the alleged Breaching Party is in material breach of the Agreement and shall apply only to determine whether or not the dispute was brought in good faith by the alleged Breaching Party (and accordingly whether the applicable cure period should continue to be tolled as provided in this Section 12.2.2 to provide an Additional Cure Period). In any case, the final determination of whether the alleged Breaching Party is in material breach of this Agreement shall be determined only pursuant to Section 13.1 and Section 13.2 and no termination under Section 12.2.1 shall become effective until such determination. Such proceeding will not suspend any obligations of either Party hereunder, and each Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate any damage. If as a result of such dispute resolution proceeding it is determined that the Breaching Party did not commit such material breach (or such material breach was cured in accordance with this Section 12.2), then no termination will be effective, and this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

I.1.3

Related Agreements. Solely for purposes of this ARTICLE XII, a breach by either Party or its Affiliate of a material term of the Technology Transfer Agreement, or of Sections 5.1, 5.2, 6.4, 6.6, 7.2, or 7.5 of the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement, as if such provisions were stated herein, all of which shall be deemed an integral part of this Agreement.

I.82

Termination for Convenience by Cullinan. Cullinan may terminate this Agreement at its sole discretion upon [*****] prior written notice to Taiho at any time after the earlier of (a) Regulatory Approval of a Collaboration Product for [*****] and [*****] or (b) [*****], provided, however, that Cullinan shall continue to [*****] the Development Costs in connection with the

conduct of any Clinical Study that has been Initiated prior to the date that Cullinan provides notice of termination to the extent Cullinan would have shared such Development Costs had Cullinan not terminated this Agreement.

I.83

Effects of Termination. In the event of expiration or termination of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 12.4 shall apply.

(a)

The arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, and unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator.

(c)

The arbitrator shall use his or her best efforts to rule within 30 days after the completion of the hearing described in Section 13.2.1(b). The determination of the arbitrator as to the resolution of any dispute shall be binding and conclusive upon all Parties. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned opinion in writing and shall deliver that opinion to the Parties. The Parties agree that the arbitrator may engage one or more Experts to assist the arbitrator in making a decision, and the fees and expenses of such expert(s) shall be deemed expenses of the arbitration for purposes of Section 13.2.1(d) and below. The arbitrator shall seek to obtain the mutual agreement of the Parties regarding the selection of such Expert(s), but absent such agreement, the Expert(s) shall be selected by the arbitrator. For such purposes, an “Expert” means a disinterested individual who has expertise and experience with respect to the subject matter of dispute, as

determined by the arbitrator. Neither the Expert nor any of the Expert’s former employers shall be or have been at any time an Affiliate, employee, officer or director of, or consultant for, either Party or any of its Affiliates.

(d)

The arbitrator will be empowered to award damages only to the extent of actual damages suffered, and only to the extent consistent with Section ‎14.11, in each case, regardless of whether any such damages are contained in a proposal. The arbitrator will not be authorized to reform, modify, or materially change this Agreement. Each Party will bear (i) its own costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees and (ii) an equal share of the arbitrator’s fees and any administrative fees of arbitration, in each case, unless the arbitrator determines that a Party has incurred unreasonable expenses due to vexatious or bad faith positions taken by the other Party, in which event the arbitrators may make an award of all or any portion of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred.

(e)

Any arbitration pursuant to this Section 13.2 shall be conducted in New York, New York, U.S.A. Any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

(f)

Nothing in this Section 13.2 or in Section 13.1 shall be construed as limiting in any way the right of a Party to seek an injunction or other equitable relief with respect to any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement or to bring an action in aid of arbitration. Should any Party seek an injunction or other equitable relief, or bring an action in aid of arbitration, then for purposes of determining whether to grant such injunction or other equitable relief, or whether to issue any order in aid of arbitration, the dispute underlying the request for such injunction or other equitable relief, or action in aid of arbitration, may be heard by the court in which such action or proceeding is brought.

(g)

Any award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction for a judicial recognition of the decision and applicable orders of enforcement.

XIII.1.2

Resolution by Baseball Arbitration. Notwithstanding Section 13.2.1 above, a FWG Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted pursuant to Section 13.2.1, except such arbitration shall be a “baseball arbitration proceeding” and accordingly, the procedures therefore shall be modified as follows:

(a)

The arbitrator may fashion such detailed procedures as the arbitrator considers appropriate to implement the intent that such proceeding shall be a “baseball” or “best offer” style arbitration (including to the extent the arbitrator determines is warranted, an iterative process by which the Parties may submit and revise their positions in response to the other Party’s position, to arrive at final positions of each Party). If so requested by the arbitrator, each Party shall make one or more oral and/or other written submissions to the arbitrator in accordance with such procedures; provided that the other Party shall have the right to be present during any oral submissions.

(b)

The arbitrator shall select one of the Party’s positions as his or her

decision, based on what is most reasonable and equitable to all of the Parties under the circumstances based on the intent of this Agreement and the relevant circumstances, and the arbitrator shall not have the authority to render any substantive decision other than to so select one Party’s final position as the arbitrator’s final decision.

(c)

In any arbitration under this Section 13.2.2, the arbitrator and the Parties shall use their best efforts to resolve the dispute within 90 days after the selection of the arbitrator, or as soon thereafter as is practicable.

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

FOR COMPANY EMPLOYEES

UNDER THE CULLINAN ONCOLOGY, INC.

2021 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN



Name of Grantee:		Nadim Ahmed

No. of Performance Stock Units:		215,000

Grant Date:		3/5/2022
Expiration Date:		3/5/2025

Pursuant to the Cullinan Oncology, Inc. 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan as amended through the date hereof (the “Plan”), Cullinan Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants an award (this “Award”) of the number of performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“Performance Stock Units”) listed above (the “Base Award”) to the Grantee named above. Each Performance Stock Unit shall relate to one share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Stock”) of the Company.

1. Restrictions on Transfer of Award. This Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee, and any shares of Stock issuable with respect to the Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Performance Stock Units have vested as provided in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement and (ii) shares of Stock have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

2. Vesting of Performance Stock Units. The restrictions and conditions of Paragraph 1 of this Agreement shall lapse on the Expiration Date (the “Vesting Date”) so long as the Grantee remains in a Service Relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary through such date. The actual number of shares underlying the Base Award that will vest on the Vesting Date (the “Earned Award”) will be equal to the number of shares underlying the Base Award multiplied by the Percentage of Base Award Earned, as set forth in the Vesting Criteria table below. The Vesting Criteria are based on the compound average growth rate of the Stock price of the Company over the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the Expiration Date, measured from the Company’s stock price at its initial public offering of $21.00. The “CGEM Stock Price” is the average closing price of a share of Stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the Vesting Date.


Vesting Criteria
CGEM Stock Price	Implied CAGR vs. $21 IPO Price	Percentage of Base Award Earned
[***]	[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]	[***]

If the Implied CAGR, as set forth above, is less than [***]%, the Percentage of Base Award Earned shall be [***]%. If the Implied CAGR is greater than [***]%, the Percentage of Base Award Earned shall be [***]%. In the event that the Implied CAGR falls between two percentages listed in the table above, the Percentage of Base Award Earned shall be the lower of the two percentages.

3. Sale Event. If a Sale Event occurs prior to the Expiration Date, the Percentage of Base Award Earned shall be determined based on the Implied CAGR as of the date of the consummation of such Sale Event, and the Earned Award shall become vested upon the occurrence of such Sale Event. Any Performance Stock Units that are not vested or do not become vested as a result of application of the prior sentence upon the occurrence of such Sale Event shall be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Performance Stock Units.

4. Termination of Service Relationship. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (including death or disability) prior to the Expiration Date, the Performance Stock Units shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Performance Stock Units.

5. Issuance of Shares of Stock. As soon as practicable following the Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), to the extent that the Performance Stock Units are then outstanding, the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate number of Performance Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement on such date and the

Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares. Any Performance Stock Units that are not vested as of the Expiration Date shall be forfeited on such date, and neither the Grantee nor any of his successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Performance Stock Units.

6. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.

7. Tax Withholding. The Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Company shall have the authority to cause the required tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from shares of Stock to be issued to the Grantee a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

8. Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all provisions relating to the settlement of the Award are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as “short-term deferrals” as described in Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Grantee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

9. No Obligation to Continue Service Relationship. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee’s Service Relationship and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the Service Relationship of the Grantee at any time.

10. Clawback. By accepting this Award, the Grantee expressly acknowledges and agrees that his rights (and those of any permitted transferee) under this Award, including to any shares of Stock acquired under this Award or any proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Section 18(f) of the Plan (including any successor provision). Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed as limiting the general application of Paragraph 6 of this Agreement.

11. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.

12. Data Privacy Consent. In order to administer the Plan and this Agreement and to implement or structure future equity grants, the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and certain agents thereof (together, the “Relevant Companies”) may process any and all personal or professional data, including but not limited to Social Security or other identification number,

home address and telephone number, date of birth and other information that is necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan and/or this Agreement (the “Relevant Information”). By entering into this Agreement, the Grantee (i) authorizes the Company to collect, process, register and transfer to the Relevant Companies all Relevant Information; (ii) waives any privacy rights the Grantee may have with respect to the Relevant Information; (iii) authorizes the Relevant Companies to store and transmit such information in electronic form; and (iv) authorizes the transfer of the Relevant Information to any jurisdiction in which the Relevant Companies consider appropriate. The Grantee shall have access to, and the right to change, the Relevant Information. Relevant Information will only be used in accordance with applicable law.

13. Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Grantee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.
