1.108 “Mundipharma Territory-Specific” shall mean, in reference to any GLP Study or clinical trial of Lead Indication Product in a Lead Indication, or of Pediatric Licensed Product, in each case, in the Mundipharma Territory, that such study or trial is necessary to support MAA filing and Regulatory Approval of Lead Indication Product in such Lead Indication or Pediatric Licensed Product in the Mundipharma Territory or any portion thereof, but is not included in the Global Development Plan.

1.109 “NDA” shall mean a New Drug Application (as more fully defined in 21 CFR 314.5, et seq.) filed with the FDA, or any successor application thereto in the U.S.

1.110 “Net Sales” shall mean the gross amounts amount billed or invoiced by Mundipharma, its Affiliates and Sublicensees (in each case, a “Selling Party”) for sales or other dispositions of Licensed Products to Third Parties (excluding Sublicensees), less the following amounts specifically attributable to Licensed Products and actually incurred, allowed, paid or accrued, or otherwise specifically allocated to Licensed Products by the Selling Party (if not previously deducted in calculating the amount invoiced), all in compliance with applicable Accounting Standards, consistently applied by the Selling Party:

(a) Normal and customary trade discounts, including trade, cash and quantity discounts or trade rebates, credits or refunds, actually allowed or taken (including amounts repaid, discounted or credited by reason of risk sharing schemes with any governmental authority or Regulatory Authority); credits or allowances actually granted or made for rejection of or return of previously sold Licensed Products, including recalls, or for retroactive price reductions and billing errors;

(b) […***…];

(c) governmental and other rebates (or chargeback payments, credits or other equivalents thereof, including amounts repaid, discounted or credited by reason of retroactive price reductions, discounts, or rebates, which are, in each case, imposed upon Mundipharma, its Affiliates or Sublicensees by any governmental authority or Regulatory Authority) actually granted to managed health care organizations, commercial insurance companies, pharmacy benefit managers (or equivalents thereof), distributors, governments, their agencies and purchasers, and reimbursers;

(e) tariffs, customs duties and Sales Tax levied on the billing amount for Licensed Products or otherwise imposed with respect to the sale, transportation or delivery of Licensed Products, and, in each case, actually paid, as adjusted for rebates and refunds;

provided that, in each case ((a) through (f)), (1) each such deduction is calculated in a manner consistent with the Selling Party’s customary practice for pharmaceutical products and in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards, consistently applied by the Selling Party, (2) each such deduction is directly allocable to Licensed Product, or apportioned on a good faith, fair and equitable basis to Licensed Product and other products of the Selling Party and its Affiliates such that Licensed

13.

Product does not bear a disproportionate portion of such deductions, and (3) no particular amount identified above shall be deducted more than once in calculating Net Sales (i.e., no “double counting” of deductions).

For clarification, sale or other disposition of Licensed Product by a Selling Party to another Selling Party for resale by such other Selling Party to a Third Party (other than a Selling Party) shall not be deemed a sale for purposes of this definition of “Net Sales,” provided that the subsequent resale is included in the computation of Net Sales. In the event of any sale or other disposition of Licensed Product for any consideration other than exclusively monetary consideration on bona fide arm’s-length terms (including any sale or other disposition of Licensed Product by a Selling Party to another Selling Party for end use by such other Selling Party), then for purposes of calculating Net Sales under this Agreement, such Licensed Product shall be deemed to have been sold exclusively for cash at the weighted (by sales volume) average sale price of such Licensed Product in bona fide arm’s-length transactions (when sold alone, and not with other products) in the applicable country in which such sale or other disposition occurred during the applicable accounting period. Transfers or dispositions of Licensed Product for charitable, research and development, clinical or humanitarian purposes, in all cases without consideration, shall be disregarded in determining Net Sales.

On a country-by-country basis, if a Licensed Product is sold in a country as part of a Combination Product in a calendar quarter, Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country during such calendar quarter for the purpose of determining royalties and commercialization milestone payments due hereunder shall be calculated as follows:

(i) In the event that both (x) a Single-Agent Licensed Product is sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter and (y) the Other Active(s) in such Combination Product are sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter, then Net Sales of such Licensed Product shall be determined by multiplying the actual Net Sales of the Combination Product calculated pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 1.110 (“Actual Combination Product Net Sales”) in such country during such calendar quarter by the fraction, A / (A+B) where A is the weighted average sale price of such Single-Agent Licensed Product when sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter, and B is the weighted average sale price of the Other Active(s) in the Combination Product when sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter.

(ii) In the event that a Single-Agent Licensed Product is sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter, but the Other Active(s) in such Combination Product are not sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter, then Net Sales of such Licensed Product shall be calculated by multiplying the Actual Combination Product Net Sales of the Combination Product in such country during such calendar quarter by the fraction A / C where A is the weighted average sale price of such Single-Agent Licensed Product when sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter and C is the weighted average sale price of the Combination Product in such country during such calendar quarter.

14.

(iii) In the event that no Single-Agent Licensed Product is sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter, but the Other Active(s) in such Combination Product are sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter, Net Sales of such Licensed Product shall be calculated by multiplying the Actual Combination Product Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction (C‑B) / C, where B is the weighted average sale price of the Other Active(s) in the Combination Product when sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter, and C is the weighted average sale price of the Combination Product in such country during such calendar quarter.

(iv) In the event that neither any Single-Agent Licensed Product is sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter, nor the Other Active(s) in such Combination Product are sold separately in finished form in such country during such calendar quarter, then the methodology for determining Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country shall be mutually agreed in writing by the parties in good faith based on the relative contributions of the Compound and the Other Active(s) in such Combination Product to the total value of the Combination Product.

(i) a co-exclusive (with Mundipharma), worldwide, royalty‑free, fully‑paid, irrevocable, perpetual license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicense, under the Mundipharma Technology (excluding any and all Non-Exclusively Licensed Mundipharma Patent Claims) and Mundipharma’s interest in Joint Technology, to make and have made Compound and Product; and

(ii) a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty‑free, fully‑paid, irrevocable, perpetual license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicense, under the Non-Exclusively Licensed Mundipharma Patent Claims, solely to make and have made Compound and Product. In addition, Mundipharma hereby grants to Cidara an exclusive option to negotiate with Mundipharma for an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license under Non‑Exclusively Licensed Mundipharma Patent Claims, solely to make and have made Compound and Product. For clarity, however, no right, license or option under any Non‑Exclusively Licensed Mundipharma Patent Claim is granted to Cidara or its Affiliates to make or have made any compound that is not a Compound or any product that is not a Product, and Mundipharma hereby expressly reserves exclusively to itself all rights under the Non‑Exclusively Licensed Mundipharma Patent Claims to make and have made all compounds that are not Compounds and all products that are not Products.

Notwithstanding the co‑exclusivity of the license granted pursuant to Section 2.6(d)(i), Mundipharma retains the right to grant licenses under, and the right to subcontract to a CMO, the Mundipharma Technology and Mundipharma’s interest in Joint Technology to its Affiliates and permitted Sublicensees that have the right to market, promote and sell Licensed Product, in each case, to make and have made Compound solely for incorporation into Licensed Product, and to make and have made Licensed Product; in each case, anywhere in the world, solely for Mundipharma to develop, register, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale and import such Licensed Products in the Field in the Mundipharma Territory subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.7 Cidara Negative Covenants. Cidara hereby covenants on behalf of itself and its Affiliates not to practice, and not to permit or cause any Affiliate of Cidara or any licensee, marketing partner or distributor of Cidara or any other Third Party to practice, any Mundipharma Technology for any purpose other than as expressly authorized in this Agreement. Cidara further covenants on behalf of itself and its Affiliates:

(a) not to develop, register, use, or seek Regulatory Approval for, Licensed Product (or Compound incorporated or for incorporation in Licensed Product) in the Mundipharma Territory; in each case, except as necessary (i) to perform Global Development Plan activities in the Mundipharma Territory, including the right to file and maintain INDs for, Compound and Licensed Product for the purpose of performing Global Development Plan activities in the Mundipharma Territory, and (ii) to perform Cidara’s obligations under Section 4.10 (CMC Development Activities);

(b) not to sell, have sold, offer for sale, or import for sale (other than to Mundipharma, its Affiliates and Sublicensees) Licensed Product (or Compound incorporated or for incorporation in Licensed Product) in the Mundipharma Territory. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Cidara hereby covenants on behalf of itself and Cidara-Controlled Affiliates not to, and not to permit or cause any Affiliate of Cidara to, sell or provide Compound or Licensed Product to any Third Party licensee, marketing partner or distributor of Cidara or other Third Party if any of them knows that Compound or Licensed Product sold or provided to such Third Party would be sold or transferred, directly or indirectly, for use in the Mundipharma Territory in the conduct of any activity in which Cidara itself is not permitted to engage under this Agreement. For clarity, and except as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing pursuant to Section 4.3, Cidara covenants on behalf of itself and its Affiliates not to register, sell, have sold, offer for sale or import or seek Regulatory Approval for (i) any Licensed Product containing any Compound other than the Lead Compound, (ii) any Licensed Product containing the Lead Compound other than the Lead Indication Product and the Pediatric Licensed Product; or (iii) any Combination Product; in each case, in the Mundipharma Territory;

Such Alliance Manager shall circulate a draft agenda 10 Business Days prior to the scheduled date of the JSC meeting. Such agenda shall be finalized no later than 5 Business Days prior to the scheduled JSC meeting and shall indicate which, if any, items on the agenda are Key Matters. After the JSC meeting, such Alliance Manager shall circulate a draft of the minutes of such meeting to all members of the JSC for comments within 10 Business Days after such meeting. Such minutes shall provide a description, in reasonable detail, of the discussions at the meeting and shall document all actions and determinations approved by the JSC at such meeting, as well as any Material Impact Objection raised by either party at such meeting. In addition, in the event of planned discussion at any JSC meeting of any of the matters described in Section 3.1(b)(ii), 3.1(b)(iii), 3.1(b)(iv), 3.1(b)(vi) or 3.1(b)(xi), all applicable materials, including draft plans, amendments, updates, protocols, and protocol amendments, shall be attached to the agenda as an exhibit, and, in the event of any approval by the JSC at any JSC meeting of any such plan, amendment, update, protocol or protocol amendment, such approved plan, amendment, update, protocol or protocol amendment shall be attached in final form as an exhibit to the finalized minutes of such JSC meeting.

(e) Decision-Making. Decisions within the scope of the JSC’s authority shall be made by unanimous vote, with each party’s representatives on the JSC collectively having one

vote. The presence of at least one of each party’s JSC representatives constitutes a quorum for the conduct of business at any JSC meeting, and no vote of the JSC may be taken without a quorum present. If the JSC is unable to decide or resolve unanimously any matter within the scope of its authority set forth in Section 3.1(b), the status quo shall continue, except in the case of Key Matters, which shall be resolved in accordance with Section 3.1(f). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the matters described in Section 3.1(b)(xi) regarding investigator-initiated trials and named patient support shall always require unanimous approval of the JSC without resort to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 3.1(f).

(f) JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix for Key Matters. If the JSC is unable to decide or resolve unanimously in accordance with Section 3.1(e) any of the matters specified in the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix (each, a “Key Matter”), such Key Matter shall be subject to dispute resolution as specified in the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix and as more fully described below in this Section 3.1(f).

(i) Exercise of Party’s Final Decision-Making Authority. With respect to any Key Matter that the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix specifies is subject to final decision-making authority of a party’s JSC representatives, such party’s JSC representatives, in the exercise of their final decision-making authority, shall give good faith consideration to, and take reasonable account of, the position of the other party’s JSC representatives on such matter.

(ii) Escalation to Senior Executives. Any Key Matter that the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix specifies is subject to Escalation to Senior Executives shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officer of Cidara and the President and CEO of Mundipharma, Europe, (in each case, such party’s “Senior Executive”) who shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve such issue within 30 days.

(iii) Material Impact Objection. If a party proposes a Key Matter specified in the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix in respect of which the other party has the right to raise a Material Impact Objection (defined below), and such other party in good faith believes that the proposed Key Matter is substantially likely to have a Material Impact on the Licensed Product, then such other party’s JSC representatives may instruct the Alliance Manager with responsibility for preparing the minutes of the applicable JSC meeting to reflect in such minutes that it objects to such proposed Key Matter on the basis of such Material Impact (such objection, a “Material Impact Objection”). Alternatively, a party may raise a Material Impact Objection either before the JSC meeting at which a Key Matter proposed by the other party is to be discussed or within 15 Business Days after such JSC meeting by delivering notice (including by email) to the proposing party’s Alliance Manager, who shall promptly bring the matter to the attention of the JSC, and if such Material Impact Objection is raised after such JSC meeting, the JSC shall promptly convene a meeting to discuss such Material Impact Objection. As specified in the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix, any such Key Matter with respect to which a party raises a Material Impact Objection that is not resolved by unanimous vote of the JSC shall first be escalated to the Senior Executives for attempted resolution in accordance with Section 3.1(f)(ii) and, if the Senior Executives are unable to resolve such Key Matter, shall be […***…], and the party proposing such Key Matter shall not proceed with the activity or course of action that is the subject of such Material Impact Objection unless and until such Material Impact Objection is resolved in

such party’s favor in accordance with the foregoing procedures and pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.1(f)(iv). If the JSC or the Senior Executives agree, […***…] that the applicable activity or course of action does not pose a substantial risk of a Material Impact […***…], the parties shall be bound by such determination […***…]. If the JSC or the Senior Executives agree, […***…] that the applicable activity or course of action should not be undertaken because it poses a substantial risk of a Material Impact, the parties shall be bound by such determination, and the proposing party shall not have the right to conduct such activity or take such course of action […***…].

(iv) […***…] Any Key Matter specified in the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix with respect to which a party has a right to and does raise a Material Impact Objection that is not resolved by the Senior Executives in accordance with Section 3.1(f)(ii) shall be […***…]. Promptly after […***…]. The parties shall mutually agree on the medium by which each party may present its position […***…] (i.e., in writing and/or orally) and shall establish a reasonable limit on the length (i.e., page limit and/or duration) of each party’s presentation. Each party may, but is not required to, include in its presentation a recommendation that […***…]. The parties shall share equally the fees and costs of […***…], regardless of the […***…] ultimate determination. The questions to be posed to […***…] are:


(A)	[…***…]


(B)	[…***…]


(C)	[…***…]

[…***…]

If the answer to the questions in (A) and (B) are both “Yes”, the proposed activity or course of action […***…]. The party proposing the applicable activity or course of action shall consider in good faith[…***…].

If the answer to the question in (A) is “No” and the answer to the question in (C) is “Yes”, the proposed activity or course of action […***…]. The party proposing the applicable activity or course of action shall consider in good faith[…***…]

The parties intend that all matters within the scope of the JSC’s decision-making authority shall be resolved by the parties in accordance with Section 3.1(e), this Section 3.1(f) and the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix, and no matter within the scope of the JSC’s authority shall be subject to the dispute resolution mechanisms set forth in Article 12.

3.2 Subcommittees.

(a) Within 30 days after the Effective Date, the parties shall establish a Joint Development Committee (the “Joint Development Committee” or “JDC”) to oversee activities needed to obtain Regulatory Approvals for Licensed Product in the Field in the Mundipharma Territory.

(b) Within 30 days after the Effective Date, the parties shall establish a Joint Manufacturing Committee (the “Joint Manufacturing Committee” or “JMC”) to oversee activities in relation to the manufacturing of Compound and Licensed Product, including CMC development activities to generate Data needed to obtain Regulatory Approvals for Licensed Product in the Field in the Mundipharma Territory, and in relation to the CMC Development Plan.

(c) As soon as reasonably practical but no later than 12 months prior to the anticipated date of Regulatory Approval of the Lead Indication Product in the Treatment Indication in the Major European Countries, the parties shall establish a Joint Commercialization Committee (the “Joint Commercialization Committee” or “JCC”) to oversee commercialization of Licensed Product in the Field in the Mundipharma Territory.

(d) In addition, from time to time, the JSC may establish additional subcommittees to which it may delegate specified projects or activities within the scope of authority of the JSC, as it deems necessary or advisable. Each Subcommittee shall be composed of an equal number of representatives of each party as the JSC determines is appropriate from time to time and shall meet with such frequency as the applicable Subcommittee shall determine.

Matters relating to the composition (other than the number of representatives), meetings and minutes of each Subcommittee shall be as set forth in Sections 3.1(a) through 3.1(e), mutatis mutandis. Decisions within the scope of the Subcommittee’s authority shall be made by unanimous vote, with each party’s representatives on the Subcommittee collectively having one vote. The presence of at least one of each party’s Subcommittee representatives constitutes a quorum for the conduct of business at any Subcommittee meeting, and no vote of the Subcommittee may be taken without a quorum present. If, with respect to a matter that is subject to a Subcommittee’s decision-making authority, the Subcommittee cannot reach unanimity, the matter shall be referred to the JSC for resolution in accordance with Section 3.1(f) and the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix.

3.3 Scope of Authority; Exclusions. Notwithstanding the establishment and existence of the JSC or any Subcommittee, each party shall retain the rights, powers and discretion granted to it hereunder, and neither the JSC nor any Subcommittee shall be delegated or vested with rights, powers or discretion unless such delegation or vesting is expressly provided herein.

The parties shall discuss in good faith, and attempt to reach consensus regarding, any such proposed modification to the Global Development Plan. Approval requirements for amendments or updates to the Global Development Plan shall be as set forth in Sections 3.1(b)(ii), 3.1(b)(vi) and 3.1(e), and, if applicable, Section 3.1(f) and the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix. References to the “Global Development Plan” in this Agreement shall be construed to refer to the Global Development Plan, as then in effect (including all updates and amendments thereto made in accordance with Sections 3.1(b)(ii), 3.1(b)(vi) and 3.1(e), and, if applicable, Section 3.1(f) and the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix.

(c) Anticipated Performance Issue. If, during the performance of the Global Development Plan, Cidara anticipates that any change in Cidara’s circumstances occurring after the Effective Date is likely to arise that would impair Cidara’s ability to perform the Global Development Plan, (i) Cidara’s Alliance Manager shall promptly inform Mundipharma’s Alliance Manager thereof, (ii) each party’s Alliance Manager shall promptly bring such anticipated change in circumstances to the attention of such party’s JSC representatives, and a meeting of the JSC shall be convened as promptly as practicable to discuss the matter. At such meeting, the parties’ JSC representatives shall discuss such anticipated change in circumstances, consider practical measures that may be taken to avoid or minimize any potential disruption to the performance of the Global Development Plan, and cooperate in good faith to formulate a plan of action to implement any such measure(s) that the JSC determines to be advisable. By way of example and not of limitation, such measures could include Mundipharma’s assumption of responsibility for overseeing or performing one or more Global Development Plan activities, or Mundipharma making payments on behalf of Cidara to Third Party contractors performing Global Development Plan activities. If the parties agree to Mundipharma making payments on behalf of Cidara to such Third Parties, (i) Mundipharma shall have the right to deduct the payments from future payment obligations of Mundipharma to Cidara arising under this Agreement, and (ii) any activity under the Global Development Plan for which Mundipharma makes any such payment on behalf of Cidara in an amount that exceeds the greater of (x) […***…]% of the total cost of such activity and (y) $[…***…], shall be deemed to be Key Matters pursuant to Section 3.1(f) […***…].

(d) Development in the Cidara Territory. Cidara shall in a timely manner keep the JSC and JDC reasonably and regularly informed of the status, progress and results of any GLP Study and clinical trial of Licensed Product in the Field in the Cidara Territory and in the Mundipharma Territory that are not part of the Global Development Plan.

4.2 Mundipharma Territory Plan.

(a) Mundipharma shall be solely responsible for conducting, at Mundipharma’s sole expense, such Mundipharma Territory-Specific development activities with respect to Lead Indication Product in the Lead Indications and a Pediatric Licensed Product in the Mundipharma Territory as may be required by applicable Regulatory Authorities to support MAA filing and Regulatory Approval in the Mundipharma Territory, including the European Paediatric Investigational Plan. Upon Mundipharma’s reasonable request, Cidara shall provide reasonable cooperation and informal, non-financial assistance to Mundipharma in connection with the Mundipharma Territory Plan.

(b) Mundipharma shall have the right to amend or update the Mundipharma Territory Plan from time to time, subject to Sections 3.1(b)(iii), 3.1(b)(vi) and 3.1(e) and, if applicable, Section 3.1(f) and the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix, provided that at all times the activities covered by the Mundipharma Territory Plan shall be limited to Mundipharma Territory-Specific development activities with respect to Lead Indication Product in the Lead Indications. References to the “Mundipharma Territory Plan” in this Agreement shall be construed to refer to the Mundipharma Territory Plan, as then in effect (including all amendments thereto).

(d) Mundipharma shall be responsible for conducting the European Paediatric Investigational Plan with respect to a Pediatric Licensed Product as required by the EMA to maintain the Regulatory Approval for the Lead Indication Product.

4.3 Expanded Licensed Products.

(a) Licensed Product Global Development Expansion. The parties acknowledge that the scope of the Global Development Plan and the Mundipharma Territory Plan as of the Effective Date is limited to development of Lead Indication Product for the Lead Indications and the Pediatric Licensed Product. However, the parties also acknowledge that it may be beneficial to both parties to pursue development of an Expanded Licensed Product. At the request of either party from time to time, the JSC shall consider and discuss the potential expansion of the scope of the parties’ collaborative development efforts under this Agreement to encompass development of an Expanded Licensed Product (on an New Indication-by-New Indication and/or Expanded Licensed Product-by-Expanded Licensed Product (as applicable) basis, a “Licensed Product Global Development Expansion”). For clarity, (A) Cidara shall be free to conduct development of any Expanded Licensed Product, provided that the protocol for any GLP Study or clinical trial of such Expanded Licensed Product shall require JSC approval under Section 3.1(b)(vi), subject, if applicable, to Section 3.1(f) and the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix; and (B) Mundipharma shall not have the right to conduct any GLP Study or clinical trial of any Expanded Licensed Product, without first (x) obtaining required approval of the protocol for any such GLP Study or clinical trial of any of the foregoing under Sections 3.1(b)(vi) and, if applicable, to Section 3.1(f) and the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix, and (y) proposing a Licensed Product Global Development Expansion for the same to the JSC for consideration and discussion as set forth above. (For clarity, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Pediatric Licensed Product shall not require any Licensed Product Global Development Expansion and that Mundipharma shall be free to conduct the European Pediatric Investigational Plan without following the procedures set forth in this Section 4.3, subject to obtaining required approval of the protocol for the European Pediatric Investigational Plan under Sections 3.1(b)(vi) and, if applicable, to Section 3.1(f) and the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix.) If the parties reach consensus at the JSC level to pursue a Licensed Product Global Development Expansion for an Expanded Licensed Product, such expansion shall become effective only upon:

(i) mutual written agreement of the parties on: (A) a mutually-agreed forecast of the peak incremental Net Sales of such Expanded Licensed Product in the Mundipharma Territory over (x) […***…] (for each such Expanded Licensed Product, the “Mundipharma Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecast”); and (B) a mutually-agreed forecast of the peak incremental Net Sales of such Expanded Licensed Product in the Cidara Territory over […***…] (for each Expanded Licensed Product, the “Cidara Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecast” and, collectively with the Mundipharma Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecast for such Expanded Licensed Product, the “Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecasts”). In the event that the parties are unable to reach mutual agreement regarding the Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecasts for such Expanded Licensed Product, then upon the request of either party, the matter shall be referred to the Senior Executives, who shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to agree upon such Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecasts within 30 days. If the Senior Executives are unable to agree upon such Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecasts within such 30-day period, then the Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecasts shall be determined in accordance with Section 12.5; and

(ii) execution by the parties of a written amendment to this Agreement (each, a “Expanded Licensed Product Amendment”) under which:

(1) an initial Expanded Licensed Product Global Development Plan and an initial Expanded Licensed Product Mundipharma Territory Plan for such Expanded Licensed Product would be attached as exhibits;

(2) the parties would share all Global Development Costs (mutatis mutandis) incurred after the execution of such Expanded Licensed Product Amendment in performing the Expanded Licensed Product Global Development Plan activities for such Expanded Licensed Product (for each Expanded Licensed Product, “Global Development Expansion Costs”), in accordance with Section 6.1(a), mutatis mutandis, provided that […***…] shall, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing, be determined by […***…];

(3) with respect only to an Expanded Licensed Product referred to in clause (A) of Section 1.47 (New Indications) or in clause (C) of Section 1.47 (Combination Products), Mundipharma would pay an additional one-time, non‑refundable, non‑creditable Global Development Expansion fee to Cidara equal to […***…]% of the Mundipharma Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecast for such Expanded Licensed Product (such Global Development Expansion Fee not to exceed $[…***…]) in recognition of the approval of a MA Variation for the Expanded Licensed Product (New Indications) or approval of a MAA for the Expanded Product (Combination Product) in […***…] (the “Global Development Expansion Fee”), which shall be payable as follows:

(A) Mundipharma would pay 100% of the Global Development Expansion Fee within 10 Business Days of the first approval of a MA Variation or of a MAA, as applicable, for the Expanded Licensed Product in […***…]; or

(B) if the approval of a MA Variation or of a MAA approval, as applicable, for the Expanded Licensed Product in […***…] occurs before the approval of a corresponding MA Variation, or of a corresponding MAA, as applicable, for the Expanded Licensed Product in […***…],

(C)

Mundipharma would pay […***…]% of the Global Development Expansion Fee within 10 Business Days of the approval of the MA Variation or MAA, as applicable, for the Expanded Licensed Product in […***…] (i.e., […***…]% of the agreed Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecast for such Expanded Licensed Product) and, if applicable, the remaining […***…]% of the Global Development Expansion Fee within 10 Business Days of the approval of a MA Variation or MAA, as applicable, for the Expanded Licensed Product in […***…] (i.e., the remaining […***…]% of the agreed Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecast for such Expanded Licensed Product);

(4) Net Sales of all Licensed Products (including Lead Indication Product and Pediatric Licensed Product) for all indications in the Mundipharma Territory would be aggregated for purposes of the calculation of royalties under Section 5.7 and determination of the achievement of Commercial Milestone Events under Section 5.6; and

(5) except as otherwise set forth in this Section 4.3(a)(ii), Mundipharma would not have any other obligations to pay Cidara any additional amounts pursuant to the Expanded Licensed Product Amendment.

If the parties reach consensus at the JSC level to pursue a Licensed Product Global Development Expansion for an Expanded Licensed Product, the parties shall negotiate in good faith with the objective of entering into an Expanded Licensed Product Amendment as described above in an expeditious manner. Any Expanded Licensed Product Amendment would contain other appropriate and commercially reasonable terms, provided that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the preceding subparagraphs (1) through (5) of this Section 4.3(a)(ii), the general expectation of the parties is that the terms and conditions of this Agreement would apply to such Licensed Product Global Development Expansion to the same extent as they apply to the Lead Indication Product for the Lead Indications and to the Pediatric Licensed Product. For clarity, neither party shall be obligated to enter into any Expanded Licensed Product Amendment.

(b) Election Not to Pursue Licensed Product Global Development Expansion. If a party proposes at the JSC level a Licensed Product Global Development Expansion for an Expanded Licensed Product, but either (i) the other party does not wish to pursue such Licensed Product Global Development Expansion for such Expanded Licensed Product or (ii) the parties reach consensus at the JSC level to pursue a Licensed Product Global Development Expansion for such Expanded Licensed Product but are unable to conclude an Expanded Licensed Product Amendment for such Licensed Product Global Development Expansion within […***…] after initiating good faith negotiations regarding such expansion, then, in each case, a party desiring to develop such Expanded Licensed Product shall be free to conduct independent development of such Expanded Licensed Product, subject to Section 3.1(b)(vi) and, if applicable, Section 3.1(f) and the JSC Dispute Resolution Matrix, and to register and commercialise such Expanded Licensed Product solely in its respective Territory. In such event, the other party shall not be entitled to use any Expanded Licensed Product Clinical Efficacy Data generated by or on behalf of the first party in the development of such Expanded Licensed Product in support of any NDA, MAA, MA Variation or other Product Filing or for obtaining or maintaining Regulatory Approval for such Expanded Licensed Product in the other party’s Territory or in connection with the commercialization of such Expanded Licensed Product in the other party’s Territory, except as expressly set forth in Section 4.3(c).

(c) One-Time Buy-In Right for Global Development Expansion. In the absence of a Licensed Product Global Development Expansion for an Expanded Licensed Product, if Cidara, pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.3(a), or either party, pursuant to Section 4.3(b), pursues independent clinical development of such Expanded Licensed Product, such party (the “Independent Development Party”) shall, within […***…] after the first availability of top-line results from the […***…], deliver such top-line results to the other party, together with a written report of the reasonable and documented external costs and expenses incurred by the Independent Development Party to date in connection with such clinical trial or preparing, submitting, obtaining or maintaining Product Filings specific to such clinical trial (the “Independent Expanded Licensed Product Costs”). In such event, the other party shall have the one-time right, exercisable solely during the 60-day period after receipt of such top-line results and the report of Independent Expanded Licensed Product Costs, to notify the Independent Development Party that the other party wishes to pursue a Licensed Product Global Development Expansion for such Expanded Licensed Product, in which event the parties shall negotiate in good faith for up to an additional 120 days (or such longer period as the parties may agree) with the objective of executing an Expanded Licensed Product Amendment for such Expanded Licensed Product in accordance with Section 4.3(a), mutatis mutandis; provided, however, that, in addition to the terms set forth in subparagraphs (1) through (4), and notwithstanding subparagraph (5), of Section 4.3(a)(ii), such Expanded Licensed Product Amendment shall: (i) obligate the other party to pay to the Independent Development Party a buy-in fee in an amount equal to […***…]% of the applicable share of the Independent Expanded Licensed Product Costs incurred by the Independent Development Party up to the date of such Expanded Licensed Product Amendment, such share being determined by […***…] (each, an “Expanded Licensed Product Buy‑In Fee”), it being understood that such total Independent Expanded Licensed Product Costs may include additional Independent Expanded Licensed Product Costs incurred after the date of the written cost report delivered to the other party as described above in this Section 4.3(c); and (ii) entitle the other party, upon payment of such Expanded Licensed Product Buy-In Fee, to use the Expanded Licensed Product Clinical Efficacy Data generated by or on behalf of the Independent Development Party with respect to such Expanded Licensed Product prior to execution of such Expanded Licensed Product Amendment in support of any IND, NDA, MAA, MA Variation, or other Product Filing or Regulatory Approval for such Expanded Licensed Product in the other party’s Territory or in connection with the commercialization of such Expanded Licensed Product in the other party’s Territory.

4.4 Subcutaneous Product Option.

(a) Subcutaneous Product Option Grant. Mundipharma acknowledges that, as of the Effective Date, the License granted to Mundipharma under this Agreement excludes any rights with respect to Subcutaneous Product (or any other Product that is not a Licensed Product). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.4, Cidara hereby grants to Mundipharma the exclusive option, exercisable only one time and solely during the Subcutaneous Product

Option Period in accordance with Section 4.4(c), to expand the License to include Subcutaneous Product (the “Subcutaneous Product Option”).

In the event that the parties are unable to reach mutual agreement regarding the Subcutaneous Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecasts, including the methodology to be used to determine the Subcutaneous Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecasts, then upon the request of either party, the matter shall be referred to the Senior Executives, who shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to agree upon the Subcutaneous Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecasts and such methodology within 30 days. If the Senior Executives are unable to agree upon the Subcutaneous Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecasts and such methodology within such 30-day period, then the Subcutaneous Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecasts, including the methodology to be used to determine the Subcutaneous Peak Incremental Net Sales Forecasts, shall be determined in accordance with Section 12.5;

(iii) Cidara would use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct, or have conducted, those development activities with respect to Subcutaneous Product in the Subcutaneous Indication(s) as are set forth in the Subcutaneous Global Development Plan. The provisions of Articles 3 and 4 (excluding this Section 4.4) would apply, mutatis mutandis, to Subcutaneous Product;

(iv) the parties would share all Global Development Costs (mutatis mutandis) incurred after delivery of the Exercise Notice in performing Subcutaneous Global Development Plan activities for the Subcutaneous Indication(s) (“Subcutaneous Global Development Costs”), in accordance with Section 6.1(a), mutatis mutandis, provided that […***…] shall, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing, be determined by […***…];

(vii) Net Sales of all Licensed Products (including Lead Indication Product and Pediatric Licensed Product) and Subcutaneous Product for all indications in the Mundipharma Territory would be aggregated for purposes of the calculation of royalties under Section 5.7 and determination of the achievement of Commercial Milestone Events under Section 5.6.

(viii) except as otherwise set forth in this Section 4.4(c), Mundipharma would not have any other obligations to pay Cidara or any of its Affiliates any additional amounts pursuant to the Subcutaneous Product Amendment, including any upfront payments or any development, regulatory or commercialization milestone payments.

If Mundipharma exercises the Subcutaneous Product Option as set forth above, the parties shall negotiate in good faith for up to […***…] (as such period may be extended by mutual written agreement of the parties, the “Subcutaneous Negotiation Period”) with the objective of entering into the Subcutaneous Product Amendment before expiration of the Subcutaneous Negotiation Period. The Subcutaneous Product Amendment would contain other appropriate and commercially reasonable terms, provided that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the preceding subparagraphs (i) through (viii) of this Section 4.4(c), the general expectation of the parties is that the terms and conditions of this Agreement would apply to such Subcutaneous

(c) Other Product Option Exercise; Other Product Amendment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on an Other Product-by-Other Product basis, Mundipharma may exercise the Other Product Option for an Other Product at any time (but only

one time) during the applicable Other Product Option Period by delivering written notice of such exercise (“Other Product Exercise Notice”) to Cidara; provided that if, and only if, the parties agree to develop such Other Product for […***…], the expansion of the License to include the applicable Other Product […***…] shall become effective only upon payment in full of an Other Product option payment determined in accordance with Section 4.4(c)(ii), mutatis mutandis (“Other Product Option Payment”).

(a) If the first MAA for Licensed Product in a particular Major European Country that is Accepted for Filing is (i) filed with the applicable national Regulatory Authority in a particular Major European Country, or (ii) approved by such Regulatory Authority, then the applicable Regulatory/Launch Milestone Event shall be deemed to have been achieved in such Major European Country upon such Acceptance for Filing or receipt of notification of approval by such Regulatory Authority, as applicable, and the amount payable upon such achievement shall be equal to 20% of the corresponding Regulatory/Launch Milestone Payment set forth in the table in Section 5.5.

(b) If the first MAA for Licensed Product in a particular Major European Country that is Accepted for Filing by a Regulatory Authority of Competent Jurisdiction is (i) filed with the EMA using the centralized EU filing procedure, or (ii) approved by the European Commission, then the applicable Regulatory/Launch Milestone Event shall be deemed to have been achieved in such Major European Country upon such Acceptance for Filing or receipt of notification of approval by the European Commission, as applicable, and the amount payable upon

such achievement shall be equal to 20% of the corresponding Regulatory/Launch Milestone Payment set forth in the table in Section 5.5.

For clarity, if the applicable Regulatory/Launch Milestone Event is achieved simultaneously in multiple Major European Countries by the filing or approval of the same MAA, then the amount payable upon such achievement shall be determined by multiplying the corresponding Regulatory/Launch Milestone Payment set forth in the table in Section 5.5 by the fraction X/5, where X equals the number Major European Countries in which such Regulatory/Launch Milestone Event is simultaneously achieved. If the applicable Regulatory/Launch Milestone Event is achieved simultaneously in all Major European Countries by the same MAA, then the full amount of the corresponding Regulatory/Launch Payment shall be payable upon such achievement.

5.5 Regulatory and Launch Milestone Payments. Within 45 days following the first achievement (whether by Mundipharma, an Affiliate of Mundipharma or a Sublicensee) of each of the milestone events set forth in the table below by the Lead Indication Product or other Licensed Product (each, a “Regulatory/Launch Milestone Event”), Mundipharma shall provide Cidara with written notice of such achievement and shall pay to Cidara the corresponding non‑refundable, non‑creditable milestone payment set forth in such table (each, a “Regulatory/Launch Milestone Payment”), subject to Section 5.4:

On a country-by-country basis, if, following the launch of a Generic Product during the Royalty Term for Licensed Products in a country, the […***…] in such country reaches the percentage thresholds specified in Section 5.10(a) to 5.10(e) below, then for the remainder of the Royalty Term for Licensed Products in such country, Mundipharma’s royalty rates then applicable with respect to Net Sales of such Licensed Products in such country (i.e., as set forth in Section 5.7 but as such royalties may have been further reduced pursuant to Section 5.11) shall be reduced as follows.

(a) during any calendar quarter in which […***…] in a country in the Mundipharma Territory is equal to or greater than […***…] ([…***…]%) but less than […***…] percent ([…***…]%), the royalty rates for Licensed Products sold in such country shall be reduced to […***…] percent ([…***…]%) of the royalty rates then applicable;

(b) during any calendar quarter in which […***…] in a country in the Mundipharma Territory is equal to or greater than […***…] percent ([…***…]%) but less than […***…] ([…***…]%), the royalty rates for Licensed Products sold in such country shall be reduced to […***…] ([…***…]%) of the royalty rates then applicable;

(c) during any calendar quarter in which […***…] in a country in the Mundipharma Territory is equal to or greater than […***…] ([…***…]%) but less than […***…] percent ([…***…]%), the royalty rates for Licensed Products sold in such country shall be reduced to […***…] ([…***…]%) of the royalty rates then applicable;

(d) during any calendar quarter in which […***…] in a country in the Mundipharma Territory is equal to or greater than […***…] […***…]%) but less than […***…] percent ([…***…]%), the royalty rates for Licensed Products sold in such country shall be reduced to […***…] ([…***…]%) of the royalty rates then applicable; and

(e) during any calendar quarter in which […***…] in a country in the Mundipharma Territory is equal to or greater than […***…] percent ([…***…]%), the royalty rates for Licensed Products sold in such country shall be reduced to […***…] ([…***…]%) of the royalty rates then applicable.

For the purposes of this Section 5.10, […***…] shall mean […***…].

5.12 Third Party Licenses. In the event that Mundipharma or its Affiliate or Sublicensee (as applicable) is required to obtain one or more licenses under Patents of Third Parties (excluding Sublicensees) that are necessary for the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or import of Licensed Product in a country of the Mundipharma Territory (“Third Party Licenses”), […***…]% of the royalties actually paid by Mundipharma or such Affiliate or Sublicensee (as applicable) under such Third Party Licenses with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such country for a calendar quarter will be creditable against the royalties payable by Mundipharma to Cidara with respect to Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country for such calendar quarter; provided, however, that in no event will the royalties payable by Mundipharma to Cidara hereunder with respect to Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country for such calendar quarter be reduced by more than […***…]% as a result of any and all such credits in the aggregate (but any portion of the royalties paid under Third Party Licenses with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such country that Mundipharma would have been entitled to credit against royalties payable to Cidara in the absence of the foregoing limitation on aggregate credits in any calendar quarter shall be carried over and applied against royalties payable to Cidara in respect of such Licensed Product in any country in subsequent calendar quarters until the full deduction is taken); and provided, further, that Mundipharma will not be entitled to credit any portion of royalties that are paid or payable by Mundipharma or its Affiliate or Sublicensee to any Third Party with respect to sales of a Combination Product in any country by reason of the inclusion in such Combination Product of any Other Active.

5.13 Royalty Floor. In no event shall the effective royalty rate applicable to Net Sales of Licensed Products in a country be reduced by more than an aggregate of […***…] percent ([…***…]%) in any calendar quarter as a result of any and all reductions and credits pursuant to Sections 4.4(e), 5.10 and 5.11 ([…***…]) in the aggregate.


6.	PAYMENT; RECORDS; AUDITS

6.1 Payment; Reports.

(a) Global Development Costs. Within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter during the performance of the Global Development Plan, each party shall provide to the other a written statement setting forth the Global Development Costs incurred by such first party and its Affiliates during such calendar quarter, such statement to include a reasonably detailed breakdown of the components of such Global Development Costs and the Global Development Plan activities to which such Global Development Costs are attributable (each such statement, a “Cost Report”). For the avoidance of doubt, Mundipharma may not submit a Cost Report to Cidara for Global Development Costs except to the extent the Global Development Plan contemplates Mundipharma incurring such amounts or such amounts have otherwise been approved by the JSC. Following receipt of Mundipharma’s Cost Report, if any, Cidara will provide Mundipharma with a written invoice for Mundipharma’s 50% share of the Global Development Costs for such calendar quarter; provided, however, that from and after such time as Mundipharma has paid or reimbursed an aggregate of $31.207 million of Global Development Costs, Cidara’s obligation to provide Cost Reports and its right to provide invoices to Mundipharma for Global Development Costs shall cease. Within 45 days after delivery of the Cost Report and associated invoice for a calendar quarter, Mundipharma shall pay the invoiced amount to Cidara (less any portion of such amount that Mundipharma disputes in good faith, of which Mundipharma shall promptly notify Cidara). Each party shall respond promptly to the other party’s questions regarding any Cost Report delivered hereunder or reasonable requests for supporting documentation, including, without limitation, copies of agreements or work orders for Global Development Plan activities performed by Third Parties (from which copies such party may redact confidential or proprietary information that is not necessary for the other party to ascertain Global Development Costs).

(b) Royalties. Royalties under Section 5.7 shall be calculated and reported for each calendar quarter and shall be paid within 45 days of the end of the calendar quarter. Each payment of royalties shall be accompanied or preceded by a report of Net Sales in sufficient detail to permit confirmation of the accuracy of the payment made, including, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, the number of each type of Licensed Product sold, gross sales, Net Sales and itemized deductions from gross sales (by major category as set forth in the definition of Net Sales), details of any Net Sales adjustments for any Combination Product, any applicable reductions or adjustments made pursuant to Section 5.8 and/or Section 5.10, details of any royalty credits taken pursuant to Section 5.3 in respect of Development Milestone Payment 1, and Section 5.11 on a Third Party License-by-Third Party License basis, royalties payable, and the exchange rates used, in each case on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis.

6.2 Exchange Rate; Manner and Place of Payment. All payment amounts specified in this Agreement are expressed in U.S. dollars, and all payments by Mundipharma to Cidara under this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. dollars. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the calculation of amounts payable hereunder, such conversion shall be calculated at the rate of exchange for such currency used throughout Mundipharma’s accounting system in conformity with Accounting Standards for the calendar quarter for which payment is due. All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer to a bank and account designated in writing by Cidara, unless otherwise specified in writing by Cidara.

6.3 Income Tax Withholding and VAT.

(a) Except as set forth herein, each party will pay all taxes (including related interest and penalties) imposed on its share of income, profits or gains arising directly or indirectly from the efforts of, or the receipt of any payment by, such party pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) If any taxes or similar duties, assessments or charges in the nature of a tax due to governmental or tax authorities (including related interest and penalties) (“Taxes”) are required to be withheld by one party (“payor”) from any payment to the other party (“payee”) under this Agreement, the payor shall (i) deduct such Taxes from the payment to the payee, (ii) timely pay such Taxes to the proper governmental or taxing authority, and (iii) send proof of payment to the payee within 30 days following such payment. Any amount actually withheld and remitted by the payor to such governmental or tax authority pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as paid to the payee. Mundipharma acknowledges that based on Applicable Law as of the Effective Date no withholding tax is required to be deducted or withheld from payments made by Mundipharma to Cidara pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to Section 6.3(c) below, if the payor makes a payment without deduction for Tax withholding and an amount of Tax should have been withheld from such payment, then the payor shall be entitled to recover the underwithheld Tax by an additional withholding from any amount payable to the payee under this Agreement only if such failure to withhold is solely the fault of the payee (for example, without limitation, where the payor’s failure to properly withhold tax is due to the payee’s provision of incorrect tax information to the payor.

(c) If the payor is required to make a payment to the payee that is subject to a deduction or withholding of Taxes and the obligation to make such deduction or withholding arises or is increased solely as a result of (i) any failure on the part of the payor to comply with Applicable Laws relating to the withholding of Taxes or (ii) the assignment of this Agreement or transfer of any rights or obligations under this Agreement by the payor (a “Withholding Tax Action”), then the payment by the payor in respect of which such deduction or withholding of Taxes is required to be made shall be increased by such amount as will leave the payee in the same net of Tax position it would have been in had the Withholding Tax Action not occurred (it being understood that Taxes that would have been deducted or withheld in accordance with Section 6.3(b) in the absence of a Withholding Tax Action are the payee’s responsibility). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no additional amounts shall be payable by the payor to the payee under this Section 6.3(c) if the payee determines (acting in good faith) that any Taxes arising due to a Withholding Tax Action will be recovered by the payee or will offset the payee’s otherwise payable Taxes for the Tax year in which the Withholding Tax Action occurs.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6.3(a), 6.3(b) or 6.3(c), this Section 6.3(d) shall apply with respect to any value added, sales, use, goods, services, or other similar tax (“Sales Tax”) applicable to any sums payable by one party to the other party pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) All sums expressed to be payable under this Agreement are exclusive of Sales Tax (if applicable).

(ii) If any Sales Tax is payable on or in respect of any supply by any party under this Agreement, the recipient of the supply shall pay the amount of the Sales Tax to the supplier (to the extent that the supplier is liable to account for such Sales Tax to the appropriate tax or governmental authority) in respect of such supply following the receipt of a valid Sales Tax invoice in the appropriate form issued by the supplier in respect of the supply, such Sales Tax to be payable on the later of the due date of the payment for the supply to which such Sales Tax relates and ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by the recipient of the supply of the applicable Sales Tax invoice, and the supplier shall (where it is liable to account for such Sales Tax) timely remit such Sales Tax to the appropriate tax or governmental authority. Each party may propose to the other in writing changes to the payment and invoicing arrangements in relation to the supplied services, with a view to minimising, so far as lawfully and reasonably practicable, costs suffered on account of Sales Tax by that party. If a party receives such a proposal from the other, it will, acting reasonably, consider the proposal and, to the extent that it agrees to the proposal, will provide its reasonable cooperation in implementing it.

(iii) Where a party is required under this Agreement to pay an amount in respect of, or otherwise reimburse, any cost, charge or expense incurred by another party, the first party shall not be required to pay or reimburse any amount in respect of Sales Tax which is recoverable (whether by way of repayment, credit or set off) by the second party, and the second party shall use all reasonable endeavors to seek to minimize irrecoverable Sales Tax.

(iv) If any Sales Tax originally paid by the recipient of the relevant supply for Sales Tax purposes to the supplier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is in whole or in part subsequently determined (by the applicable tax authority) not to have been chargeable, and the supplier has obtained a refund of such Sales Tax from the relevant tax or governmental authority, the supplier shall pay an amount equal to any such Sales Tax repaid by the relevant tax or governmental authority to the recipient of the relevant supply within ten (10) Business Days of receipt from the tax or governmental authority (whether receipt is by way of repayment, credit or set off).

(e) The parties agree to cooperate with one another and to use reasonable efforts to (I) reduce or eliminate Tax withholding or similar obligations and (II) assist in the claiming of foreign tax credits, refunds, or deductions, in each case, in respect of the payments made by one party to the other party under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party shall (i) upon written request, provide the other with any tax forms and information in such party’s possession (and which it is legally able to provide) that may be reasonably necessary in order for (A) the payor not to withhold Tax, or to withhold Tax at a reduced rate, under an applicable double tax treaty or (B) the payee to obtain the benefit of any present or future applicable double tax treaty, within a reasonable time prior to the date the applicable payment is due, and (ii) provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Law, of withholding Taxes, Sales Tax, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the party bearing such Tax or other obligation.

6.4 Audits.

(a) Global Development Cost Audit. During the performance of any Global Development Plan activities and for a period of […***…] years thereafter, each party and its Affiliates shall keep complete and accurate records pertaining to Global Development Costs incurred by it in sufficient detail to permit the other party to confirm the calculation of Global Development Costs (including, in the case of Cidara, the applicable Cost of Goods) and the accuracy of the other party’s invoices delivered to such party pursuant to Section 6.1(a). Each party shall have the right to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the other party to audit such records (other than tax returns and records related to tax returns) to confirm the calculation of such Global Development Costs and the accuracy of the other party’s invoices for such Global Development Costs for a period covering not more than the preceding […***…] full years. The audited party may require such accountant to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement with the audited party prior to commencing the audit. Such audits may be conducted during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to the party to be audited, but no more frequently than once per year. No accounting period of a party shall be subject to audit more than one time pursuant to this Section 6.4(a). Prompt adjustments (including remittances of underpayments or overpayments disclosed by such audit) shall be made by the parties to reflect the results of such audit, and no later than 30 days after the date of the accountant’s audit report. The auditing party shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an overstatement by the audited party of the audited party’s Global Development Costs in any calendar year of […***…]% or more, in which case the audited party shall bear the full cost of such audit. Alternatively, if a party provides notice of exercise of its audit right under this Section 6.4(a), then, at the other party’s written request made within 30 days of such exercise, the parties shall jointly retain an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to both parties to conduct an audit of both parties’ Global Development Costs for the applicable period, in which case the parties shall share equally (50/50) the cost of such joint audit. Prompt adjustments (including remittances of underpayments or overpayments disclosed by such audit) shall be made by the parties to reflect the results of such audit, and no later than 30 days after the date of the jointly retained, independent accountant’s audit report. If such jointly initiated audit discloses that one party (but not the other party) has overstated its Global Development Costs in any calendar year covered by such audit by […***…]% or more, such party shall reimburse the other party for the 50% share of the joint audit costs that was initially borne by the other party. The results of such audit will be final, absent manifest error.

(b) CMC Development Cost Audit. During the performance of any CMC Development Plan activities and for a period of […***…] years thereafter, each party and its Affiliates shall keep complete and accurate records pertaining to its external costs incurred by it (including any Costs of Goods) in sufficient detail to permit the other party to verify such costs incurred as compared to the budgeted amounts in the CMC Development Plan. Each party shall have the right to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the other party to audit such records (other than tax returns and tax records) to verify such costs for a period covering

(c)

not more than the preceding […***…] full years. The audited party may require such accountant to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement with the audited party prior to commencing the audit. Such audits may be conducted during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to the party to be audited, but no more frequently than once per year. No accounting period of a party shall be subject to audit more than one time pursuant to this Section 6.4(b). The auditing party shall bear the full cost of such audit.

(d) Net Sales Audits. Mundipharma shall keep, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records pertaining to the sale or other disposition of Licensed Products in sufficient detail to permit Cidara to confirm the accuracy of all payments due hereunder, for at least […***…] full calendar years following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain. Cidara shall have the right, once annually, to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Mundipharma to audit such records to confirm Net Sales, royalties and the timing of achievement of Net Sales Milestone Events, for a period covering not more than the preceding […***…] full calendar years; provided, however, that Mundipharma shall not be required to provide, and neither the independent accountant nor the Cidara shall be entitled to review or examine, the tax returns or tax records of Mundipharma, its Affiliates of Sublicensees. No audited period shall be subject to audit under this Section 6.4(c) more than once. Such audits may be exercised during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Mundipharma, but no more frequently than once per year. The auditor will execute a reasonable written confidentiality agreement with Mundipharma and will disclose to Cidara only such information as is reasonably necessary to provide Cidara with information regarding any actual or potential discrepancies between amounts reported and actually paid and amounts payable under this Agreement, and between the reported timing and actual timing of achievement of Net Sales Milestone Events. The auditor will send a copy of the report to Mundipharma at the same time it is sent to Cidara. The report sent to both parties will include the methodology and calculations used to determine the results. If such audit reveals that Mundipharma has failed to accurately report information pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or to make any Net Sales Milestone Payment (or portion thereof) when actually due under this Agreement, then Mundipharma, within 30 days after receipt of the final audit report, shall pay to Cidara any underpaid amounts due under this Agreement, together with interest on such underpaid or late amounts calculated in accordance with Section 6.5. Cidara shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by Mundipharma of more than […***…]% of the amount due for any calendar year under this Agreement, in which case Mundipharma shall bear the full cost of such audit. If such audit discloses an overpayment by Mundipharma, then Mundipharma will deduct the amount of such overpayment from amounts otherwise owed to Cidara under this Agreement. The results of such audit will be final, absent manifest error.

6.5 Late Payments. In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not made when due, simple interest shall accrue on the late payment at a rate per annum that is […***…] basis points (i.e., […***…] percentage points) above the then-current prime rate quoted by Citibank in New York City (or such other rate and source as the parties mutually agree in writing) for the period from the due date for payment until the date of actual payment; provided, however, that

(a) in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate;

(b) the payment of such interest shall not limit a party from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment that it is due; and

(c) The parties may agree that a delay to a payment arising solely due to the parties’ efforts to lawfully reduce Tax or Sales Tax applicable to such payment shall not be a late payment that is subject to this Section 6.5, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld. Any such agreement shall be in writing and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


7.	CONFIDENTIALITY

7.1 Confidential Information. Subject to Section 7.3, “Confidential Information” of a party shall mean any Information or Business Information furnished by or on behalf of such party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) pursuant to this Agreement or under the Prior CDA, whether in written, oral, visual, electronic or other form. Notwithstanding the foregoing definition, the parties hereby agree that the following information shall be deemed to constitute the “Confidential Information” of each party (without regard to which party initially disclosed such information to the other party), and that each party shall be deemed both a “Receiving Party” and a “Disclosing Party” with respect thereto, for purposes of this Agreement:

(a) the Global Development Plan, the Mundipharma Territory Plan and the CMC Development Plan;

7.3

agrees that, during the Term and for seven (7) years thereafter, the Receiving Party shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose, other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party may use Confidential Information only to the extent required to exercise its rights and fulfil its obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own, but no less than reasonable care, to ensure that its, and its Affiliates’, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and other representatives (“Representatives”) do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information. Receiving Party shall be responsible for any failure by its Representatives which, if committed by Receiving Party, would be a breach of this Agreement. The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.

7.4 Exceptions. Confidential Information shall not include any information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (a) is, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement, generally known or available in the public domain; (b) is known by the Receiving Party at the time of receiving such information, as evidenced by its contemporaneously-maintained written records, with no restrictions on its use or disclosure; (c) is hereafter furnished to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis by a Third Party, as a matter of right (i.e., without breaching any obligation such Third Party may have to the Disclosing Party); or (d) is independently discovered or developed by the Receiving Party, independently of the activities undertaken by the Receiving Party pursuant to this Agreement and without the use of, reliance on, or reference to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s contemporaneously-maintained written records.

7.5 Authorized Disclosure. Each party may disclose Confidential Information of the other party only as expressly permitted by this Agreement, or if and to the extent such disclosure is:

(a) made by the Receiving Party to a patent authority as may be reasonably necessary for the purposes of filing, prosecuting or enforcing Patents as permitted by this Agreement;

(b) necessary in order to enforce such party’s rights under this Agreement and/or to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(d) made in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent authority, or otherwise required by applicable laws, rules or regulations, or the listing rules of any exchange on which such party’s securities are traded;

(e) necessary in Product Filings that the Receiving Party has the right to file, or holds, as expressly set forth in this Agreement;

(f) to the Receiving Party’s Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees/Sublicensees, potential licensees and sublicensees/Sublicensees, and to the Receiving Party’s and its Affiliates’ Representatives who, in each case, need to know such Confidential Information in order for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, provided, in each case, that any such Affiliate, actual or potential licensee or sublicensee/Sublicensee, or Representative is bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Article 7; and

(g) disclosure to Third Parties in connection with due diligence investigations by such Third Parties, and disclosure to potential Third Party investors in confidential financing documents, provided, in each case, that any such Third Party needs to know such Confidential Information and is bound by reasonable obligations of confidentiality and non-use.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Receiving Party is required to make a disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 7.4(c) or 7.4(d), it will, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by law, (i) give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure, (ii) provide the Disclosing Party with the opportunity to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information to be disclosed; (iii) cooperate with any such efforts by the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s request and expense, to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information; and (iv) disclose only such minimal portion of the Confidential Information as is, on the advice of counsel, required to be disclosed. Disclosure by the Receiving Party of Confidential Information in accordance with any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4 shall not, in and of itself, cause the information so disclosed to cease to be treated as Confidential Information under this Agreement, except to the extent that, by virtue of disclosure by the Receiving Party in full compliance with this Section 7.4, such information becomes generally known or available.

7.6 Confidentiality of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 7, each party agrees not to disclose to any Third Party the terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except that each party may disclose the terms of this Agreement that are otherwise made public as contemplated by Section 7.6 or to the extent such disclosure is permitted under Section 7.4.

7.7 Public Announcements.

(a) The parties have agreed upon the content of a press release which shall be issued by Cidara (or jointly by the parties, if mutually agreed) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, the release of which the parties will coordinate in order to accomplish the same promptly upon execution and delivery of this Agreement. Except to the extent already disclosed in a press release or other public communication issued in accordance with this Agreement, no public announcement concerning this Agreement, its subject matter or the transactions described herein shall be made, either directly or indirectly, by either party or its Affiliates, except as may be required by applicable law (including disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)), judicial order, or stock exchange or quotation system rule without first obtaining the approval of the other party and agreement upon the nature, text and timing of such announcement, which approval and agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The party desiring to make any such voluntary public announcement shall provide the other party with a written copy (including by email) of the proposed announcement in reasonably sufficient time prior to public release to allow the other party to comment upon such announcement, prior to public release. In the case of press releases or other public communications required to be made by law, judicial order or stock exchange or quotation system rule, the party making such press release or public announcement shall provide to the other party a copy of the proposed press release or public announcement in written or electronic form upon such advance notice as is practicable under the circumstances for the purpose of allowing the notified party to review and comment upon such press release or public announcement. Under such circumstances, the releasing party shall not be obligated to delay making any such press release or public communication beyond the time when the same is required to be made. Neither party shall be required to seek the permission of the other party to repeat any information regarding the terms of this Agreement or any amendment hereto that has already been publicly disclosed by such party or by the other party in accordance with this Section 7.6(a); provided that such information remains accurate as of such time and provided the frequency and form of such disclosure are reasonable.

(b) Each party may make public statements regarding this Agreement in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst calls, provided that any such public statement or press release: (i) is not inconsistent with prior public disclosures or public statements made in accordance with Section 7.6(a) or as permitted by Section 7.4; and (ii) does not reveal (A) information regarding the terms of this Agreement that have not previously been disclosed in accordance with Section 7.6(a) or as permitted by Section 7.4 or (B) non‑public information about the other party.

(c) The parties shall coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the filing of this Agreement (including redaction of certain provisions of this Agreement) with the SEC or other governmental agency or any stock exchange on which securities issued by a party or its Affiliate are traded, and neither party shall make any such filing unless the parties have mutually agreed upon the provisions to be redacted (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld). The party filing this Agreement shall use reasonable efforts to seek and obtain confidential treatment for the provisions of this Agreement that the parties mutually agree to redact from such filing; provided that such party shall retain ultimate discretion to disclose such information to the SEC or any stock exchange or other governmental agency (as the case may be) as such party determines, based on advice of legal counsel, is required to be so disclosed. Except as expressly set forth in this Article 7, neither party (or its Affiliates) shall be obligated to consult with or obtain approval from the other party with respect to any filings with the SEC or any stock exchange or other governmental agency where such filings do not disclose Confidential Information of the other party.

7.8 Scientific Publications. Each party recognizes that publications regarding results of clinical and non-clinical studies carried out under this Agreement and other information regarding Licensed Products (including Expanded Licensed Product), including oral or poster presentations and abstracts (each of the foregoing, a “Publication”), may be beneficial to both parties provided such Publications are subject to reasonable controls to protect Confidential Information. Accordingly, a party shall have the right to review and comment on any Publication prior to submission by the other party. Before a Publication is submitted for publication or disclosure (other than oral presentation materials and abstracts, which are addressed below), the party proposing publication shall deliver a complete copy to the other party at least 21 days prior to submitting the material to a publisher or initiating such other disclosure, and such other party shall review any such material and give its comments to the party proposing publication within 10 days of the delivery of such material to such other party. With respect to oral presentation materials and abstracts, the party proposing publication shall deliver a complete copy to the other party at least 14 days prior to the anticipated date of the presentation, and such other party shall make reasonable efforts to expedite review of such materials and abstracts, and shall return such items as soon as practicable to the party proposing publication with appropriate comments, if any, but in no event later than 10 days from the date of delivery to the non-publishing party. The party seeking to publish or present shall consider in good faith any comments thereto provided by the other party and shall comply with the other party’s request to remove any and all of such other party’s Confidential Information in any such material. In addition, the party seeking to publish or present agrees to delay any submission for publication or other public disclosure for a period of up to an additional 30 days, in the event that the other party can demonstrate a reasonable need for such delay for the purpose of preparing and filing appropriate patent applications. If the other party fails to provide its comments to the party seeking to publish or present within the applicable 10-day period, such other party shall be deemed not to have any comments, and the party seeking to publish or present shall be free to submit for publication or present in accordance with this Section 7.6 after the 21-day period or 14-day period, as applicable, has elapsed (but without waiver of, or prejudice to, any liability of the publishing party for breach of its obligations pursuant to this Article 7).

The Party that brings such infringement action shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any action under this paragraph: (1) in a manner that would diminish the rights or interests of the other Party without the written consent of such other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (2) that would impose any cost or liability on the other Party, or admit the invalidity or unenforceability of any Joint Patent, without such other Party’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in such other Party’s sole discretion.

12.2 Arbitration.

(a) Subject to Sections 3.1(f)(v), 12.4 and 12.5, any dispute, controversy or claim that is not resolved pursuant to Section 12.1 shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the applicable rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) as then in effect (the “Rules”), except to the extent any such Rule conflicts with the express provisions of this Article 12.

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitral tribunal of three neutral arbitrators selected by the ICC in accordance with the Rules; provided that: (i) such arbitrators shall not be current or former employees or directors, or current stockholders, of either party, any of their respective Affiliates or any Sublicensee; (ii) each arbitrators shall have experience and familiarity with commercial licensing practices in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries; and (iii) to the extent permitted by the Rules, each party shall have the right to reject up to three proposed arbitrators selected by the ICC.

(c) The arbitral tribunal shall […***…] as reasonably necessary for an understanding of any legitimate issue raised in the arbitration, while also taking into account the desirability of making discovery efficient and cost-effective.

(d) The arbitral tribunal shall, in rendering an award, apply the substantive law of the State of New York, USA, in accordance with Section 13.3 and without giving effect to any conflicts of law provisions thereof that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction, and without giving effect to any of its rules or laws relating to arbitration. The award shall include a written statement describing the essential findings and conclusions upon which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitral tribunal’s authority to award special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages shall be subject to the limitation set forth in Section 9.8, except to the extent the substantive laws of the State of New York, USA, do not permit such limitation[…***…]. The award rendered by the arbitral tribunal shall be final, binding and non-appealable (subject only to the parties’ right to request correction of any errors in computation, clerical or typographical errors, or other errors of a similar nature, and the arbitral tribunal’s right to make any such correction on its own initiative, in each case, in accordance with the Rules), and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitration.

In addition, either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes pertaining to the validity, construction, scope, enforceability, infringement or other violations of Patents or other intellectual property rights, and no such claim shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 12.2.

13.	MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Standstill. Mundipharma hereby agrees that, during the Term, it will not directly or indirectly (including through any Affiliate) acquire beneficial ownership of any equity securities

13.2

of Cidara or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities, or rights or options to purchase such securities, or acquire the right to control directly or indirectly voting with respect to any other voting securities of Cidara (in each case, other than any such securities of Cidara directly and originally issued by Cidara to Mundipharma or its Affiliate pursuant to a written agreement between Cidara and Mundipharma or its Affiliate), without the prior written consent of Cidara, if the effect of such acquisition would be to entitle Mundipharma to cast directly or indirectly 20% or more of the voting power in any election of directors of Cidara. For purposes of the 20% calculation under this Section 13.1, all such securities, rights or options beneficially owned by Mundipharma (including through Affiliates or others) shall be treated on an as-exercised and as-converted basis, but such securities, rights or options beneficially owned by others shall not be so treated. Mundipharma will not be deemed to have breached this Section 13.1 by reason of (a) Mundipharma’s acquisition of or merger with a Third Party that already owns such securities, rights or options or (b) an acquisition of or merger with Mundipharma by a Third Party that already owns such securities, rights or options. In such event, however, this Section 13.1 shall still apply to activities by Mundipharma and its Affiliates after such event.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions provided above shall no longer apply from the earliest of (x) the date Cidara publicly announces that it is seeking an acquisition or business combination in which Cidara would not be the surviving entity, (y) the date Cidara publicly announces its entrance into an agreement or letter of intent with a Third Party other than Mundipharma (or any of its Affiliates) which provides for the acquisition or business combination with Cidara or any of its Affiliates in which Cidara would not be the surviving entity, or (z) the date a Third Party commences a tender offer for all or some lesser portion of Cidara’s common equity that would result in a change of control in Cidara; provided, however, that, in each case, if such efforts or activities cease without any such proposed transaction having been consummated, then the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph of this Section 13.1 shall again be applicable.

13.3 Rights Upon Bankruptcy.

(a) Section 365(n). The parties acknowledge and agree that all rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement to Mundipharma or Cidara are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code and other similar foreign laws, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other similar foreign laws. The parties agree that the parties shall retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable provision of the laws applicable to bankruptcies or insolvencies), and other similar foreign laws. The parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a party under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the non‑debtor party shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property and the same, which, if not already in the non‑debtor party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon the non‑debtor party’s written request therefor, unless the debtor party continues to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under clause (a) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the debtor party upon written request therefor by the non‑debtor party.

Cidara Therapeutics and Mundipharma Form Strategic Partnership to Develop and Commercialize Rezafungin

Collaboration combines strengths to develop and commercialize life-saving antifungal treatment and prophylaxis, an area of high unmet medical need

Mundipharma acquires exclusive rights to develop and commercialize rezafungin in all markets outside of the United States and Japan, which will be retained by Cidara

Cidara to receive upfront payment of $30 million and equity investment of $9 million, co-development funding, development milestones and tiered royalty stream

Total transaction value could exceed $568 million

Cidara to host conference call today at 8:00 a.m. ET/5:00 a.m. PT

SAN DIEGO, CA AND CAMBRIDGE, UK, September 3, 2019 – Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDTX) and Mundipharma announced today that they have entered into a strategic partnership to develop and commercialize rezafungin for the treatment and prevention of invasive fungal infections. Rezafungin is a novel, once-weekly echinocandin antifungal being developed for the first-line treatment of candidemia and invasive candidiasis as well as for the prophylaxis of invasive fungal infections in patients undergoing allogeneic blood and marrow transplantation, for which no new therapies have been approved in over 13 years.

The partnership agreement follows Cidara’s recent announcement of the successful completion of its STRIVE B Phase 2 trial. Under the terms of the agreement, in exchange for granting Mundipharma exclusive commercialization rights to rezafungin outside the U.S. and Japan, Cidara will receive a $30 million upfront payment and Mundipharma will make a $9 million equity investment in Cidara. Cidara will also receive an additional $42 million in near-term funding to support the global Phase 3 ReSTORE and ReSPECT trials for the treatment and prevention of fungal infections. In addition, Cidara is eligible to receive development, regulatory

and commercial milestone payments, representing a total potential transaction value of $568 million plus double-digit royalties. Cidara will continue to lead the ongoing global Phase 3 development programs for rezafungin with the support of Mundipharma. The companies may pursue additional indications or formulations of rezafungin.

“This is a transformational collaboration for Cidara, and we look forward to working closely with our colleagues at Mundipharma, a highly successful, profitable company with a commercial presence spanning 120 markets worldwide and annual sales exceeding €2 billion,” said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive officer of Cidara. “Mundipharma is particularly well positioned globally with established hospital and hematology/oncology business units to fully leverage the commercial potential of rezafungin. Through this partnership, both companies fully commit to advancing rezafungin and helping to save the lives of patients who are highly vulnerable to these deadly infections.”

“By partnering with Cidara on rezafungin, we continue to serve our purpose - to move medicine forward,” said Alberto Martinez, Ph.D., M.B.A., President and Chief Executive officer of Mundipharma. “In a world where antifungal resistance is posing a major threat to the lives of vulnerable immunocompromised patients, rezafungin shows promise to address a major unmet medical need as well as potentially providing a wider spectrum of efficacy in a more convenient administration schedule. With our proven commercial excellence we are confident that we will maximize the potential of this differentiated and innovative asset. Rezafungin will be a significant addition to our pipeline that integrates well with our overall portfolio and sales force capabilities. We are excited to work with the team at Cidara to deliver such an important medicine to patients around the world.”

Conference Call and Webcast

Cidara management will host a conference call and webcast at 8:00 a.m. ET/5:00 a.m. PT today. The live call may be accessed by dialing (844) 358-8763 for domestic callers and (703) 736-7375 for international callers and entering the conference code: 6567991.

Following the live audio webcast, a replay will be available on Cidara's website.

About Invasive Fungal Infections

Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) represent a serious threat to millions of patients worldwide, resulting in more than 1.5 million deaths annually and mortality rates ranging from 15 to 65 percent. These infections continue to be a global health issue, especially for critically ill patients in hospitals and patients with compromised immune systems, including cancer and transplant patients. Approximately 90 percent of IFI-related deaths are associated with Candida, Aspergillus, and Pneumocystis.

About Rezafungin

Rezafungin is a novel echinocandin antifungal and the only once-weekly drug candidate being developed for the first-line treatment and prevention of serious invasive fungal infections. Rezafungin has a unique pharmacokinetic profile with a prolonged half-life and front-loaded plasma exposure which, in contrast to all other echinocandins, allows for once-weekly IV therapy for inpatient and outpatient use. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated rezafungin as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) with Fast Track status and orphan drug designation related to its use in the treatment of candidemia and invasive candidiasis.

About Cidara Therapeutics

Cidara is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel anti-infectives that have the potential to transform the standard of care and save or improve patients’ lives. Cidara is currently advancing its novel echinocandin antifungal, rezafungin acetate, in a Phase 3 clinical trial for the first-line treatment of candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis (ReSTORE) and plans to commence a second Phase 3 trial of once-weekly rezafungin for prophylaxis against invasive fungal infections in patients undergoing allogeneic blood and marrow transplantation (ReSPECT) initially in Europe and Canada. In addition to its robust rezafungin clinical program, Cidara is applying its proprietary Cloudbreak^®platform to develop antiviral conjugates (AVCs) for the prevention and treatment of influenza and other viral diseases. The Cloudbreak platform is designed to discover compounds that both directly kill pathogens and direct a patient’s immune system to attack and eliminate pathogens. Cidara is headquartered in San Diego, California. For more information, please visit www.cidara.com.
