ARTICLE 2

CONDUCT OF RESEARCH PROGRAM

2.1 Research Program.

(a) Target Selection. The Parties intend to initiate one or more Research Programs, each focused on a particular Target (each, a “Selected Target”). No more than one (1) Selected Target will be included in any Research Program, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing (e.g., in the case of a Research Program seeking to develop a [***]). As of the Effective Date, the Parties have agreed to the Selected Targets listed on Exhibit A. Additional Targets may be added to the Selected Targets by mutual written agreement of the Parties, it being understood that each Party may accept or reject a new Selected Target in its sole discretion and no Party shall be obligated under this Agreement to agree to any further Selected Targets. The Parties acknowledge that, prior to any agreement with respect to a Selected Target and a Research Plan, it is intended that the Parties may initiate, from time-to-time, “proof-of-concept” studies [***] at no up-front Research Initiation Fee to Spyre; provided, that the costs of any such “proof-of-concept” studies may be recaptured by Paragon within the specified Research Plan and associated fees, in each case, as agreed by the Parties.

(b) Research Plan. No later than [***] days after the Effective Date (or in the case of any Selected Target added after the Effective Date, no later than [***] days after the Parties’ written agreement on such additional Selected Target), the Parties will agree on a research plan, to the extent a research plan has not been previously agreed upon, for the applicable Selected Target that will include design, modeling, synthesis, evaluation, and other mutually agreed activities (“Research Plan”). For clarity, if at the end of such [***] day period (or any extension thereof mutually agreed in writing) (a) the Parties have not agreed on a Research Plan, or (b) Spyre has not paid Paragon the Research Initiation Fee, the target shall cease to be a Selected Target and Paragon shall have no obligations with respect thereto. Once the Parties agree on a Research Plan and Spyre pays the Research Initiation Fee for the Research Program, Paragon and Parapyre shall conduct research under a Research Program directed to the applicable Selected Target in an effort to produce Project Antibodies against such Selected Target for further Development, Manufacture and Commercialization by Spyre. The Parties may amend the Research Plan upon mutual written agreement. Paragon and Parapyre will use [***] to conduct and complete the activities set forth in such Research Plan on the timelines set forth in such Research Plan and in compliance with the Budget.

(C) Deliverables; Project Antibody Samples. Following completion of a Research Program, Paragon and Parapyre will deliver to Spyre a data package that includes Sequence Information for all Project Antibodies and all Results (the “Deliverables”). Additionally, upon request by Spyre, and at [***] cost and expense, Paragon and Parapyre shall provide to Spyre samples of proteins corresponding to Project

6

Antibodies that have been expressed in accordance with the Research Plan (“Project Antibody Samples”) to enable Spyre to evaluate the Option. During the Option Period, Spyre will review the Deliverables and Project Antibody Samples to determine whether [***] Project Antibody meets the Project Antibody Selection Criteria. If Spyre determines that [***] Project Antibody meets the Project Antibody Selection Criteria, then Spyre will so notify Paragon prior to the end of the Option Period.

(d) Conduct of Research Program. During the Research Term, Paragon and Parapyre shall (a) perform the activities assigned to them under the applicable Research Plan in a professional, diligent and good scientific manner, in compliance with all Applicable Law, and in compliance with the applicable Research Plans; (b) ensure that its Representatives and subcontractors diligently perform the applicable Research Program in a manner in accordance with generally accepted industry practices by appropriately trained personnel who are experienced in the relevant fields and in compliance with Applicable Law; (c) keep Spyre fully informed regarding the progress and results of the Research Program; (d) promptly provide Spyre with any additional information regarding the Research Program that Spyre reasonably requests; (e) participate in teleconference(s) at a time(s) agreed upon by the Parties to provide an update to Spyre on the performance of the Research Program; and (f) give Spyre prompt written notice with respect to information known or believed by Paragon and Parapyre to be likely to materially impede or otherwise adversely affect the performance of the Research Program.

2.2 Subcontractors. Paragon and Parapyre may perform some of the activities under a Research Program through one or more subcontractors, provided that Paragon and Parapyre shall at all times be fully responsible for the compliance of such subcontractors with this Agreement and for the performance of their obligations under this Agreement.

2.3 Research Books and Records; Audit. Paragon shall maintain complete and accurate records related to the activities performed by Paragon and Parapyre under a Research Program. All such books and records shall be retained by Paragon until the later of: (a) [***] after the end of the applicable stage of research; and (b) such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law. Upon Spyre’s request and at [***] expense, Paragon shall provide copies of such records or such records shall be made available for Spyre’s reasonable review, audit and inspection upon reasonable notice and with reasonable frequency.

ARTICLE 3

GOVERNANCE

3.1 Joint Development Committee. The Parties will establish a single Joint Development Committee (the “JDC”) to oversee and coordinate the activities under all Research Programs in accordance with the remainder of this Article 3. The JDC shall be comprised of two (2) employees from Spyre or Aeglea and two (2) employees from Paragon, with each Party designating one (1) such employee as its JDC co-chairperson. Subject to the foregoing, each Party shall appoint its respective Representatives to the JDC from time to time, and may change its Representatives, in its sole discretion, effective upon notice to the other Parties designating such change. Representatives from each Party shall have appropriate technical credentials, experience and knowledge pertaining to and ongoing familiarity with the activities to be performed under the Research Programs.

3.2 JDC Meetings. The JDC shall meet in accordance with a schedule established by mutual written agreement of the Parties no less frequently than once every three (3) months until, on a Research Program-by-Research Program basis, until the end of the period specified in Section 3.5. The JDC may meet by means of teleconference, videoconference or other similar means, as jointly determined by the Parties. As

7

appropriate, additional employees or consultants may from time to time attend the JDC meetings as nonvoting observers, provided that any such consultant shall agree in writing to comply with the confidentiality obligations under this Agreement; and provided further that no Third Party personnel may attend unless otherwise agreed by all Parties. Each Party shall bear its own expenses related to the attendance of the JDC meetings by its representatives. Each Party may also call for special meetings to resolve particular matters requested by such Party. Paragon shall be responsible for keeping minutes of each JDC meeting that record in writing all decisions made, action items assigned or completed and other appropriate matters. Paragon shall send meeting minutes to all members of the JDC within [***] Business Days after a meeting for review. Each member shall have [***] Business Days from receipt in which to comment on and to approve/provide comments to the minutes (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If a member, within such time period, does not notify the drafting Party that s/he does not approve of the minutes, the minutes shall be deemed to have been approved by such member.

3.3 JDC Functions. The JDC’s responsibilities are as follows:

(a) Developing, reviewing, overseeing and coordinating the activities under each Research Plan;

(b) Periodically reviewing the progress of activities under each Research Plan;

(c) Updating or modifying each Research Plan, provided that such update or modification does not obligate any Party to perform any task or expend any resources outside of or beyond its obligations under the applicable Budget;

(d) Reviewing performance against the Budget and timeline for each Research Program periodically (at least [***]), and periodically meeting to review and (subject to mutual approval of the Parties), approving any discovery project Budget deviation where such deviation is greater than [***] percent ([***]%);

(e) Reviewing the reconciliation of Actual Annual Costs against the Cost Advance at the end of each Calendar Year for each Research Program; and

(f) Determining whether the Project Antibody Selection Criteria for a Research Program are not achievable for any reason and therefore such Research Program no longer warrants further research.

3.4 JDC Decision Making and Disputes. The JDC will endeavor to make decisions by consensus, with each of Spyre and Paragon having one vote. If consensus is not reached by the Parties’ Representatives pursuant to such vote, then disputes relating to: (a) the reconciliation of Actual Annual Costs against the Cost Advance, as set forth in Section 5.2(b), will be resolved in accordance with Section 11.7; (b) technical or scientific decisions in the course of operationalizing each Research Program, including the nature of activities to be performed by Paragon thereunder, shall be finally decided by [***]; and the Budget for any Research Program, and all other matters not covered by clauses (a) or (b) shall be finally decided by [***]. For clarity, and notwithstanding the creation of the JDC, each Party shall retain the rights, powers and discretion granted to it hereunder, and the JDC shall not be delegated or vested with such rights, powers or discretion unless such delegation or vesting is expressly provided herein, or the Parties expressly so agree in writing. The JDC shall not have the power to amend, waive or modify any term of this Agreement, and no decision of the JDC shall be in contravention of any terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that issues to be formally decided by the JDC are limited to those specific issues that are expressly provided in this Agreement to be decided by the JDC.

3.5 Disbandment. The JDC shall remain in effect from the date on which it is established in accordance with Section 3.1 until, on a Research Program-by-Research Program basis, the earlier of (a) expiration of the Term and (b) Spyre’s exercise of the Option in accordance with Section 4.3.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on a Research Program-by-Research Program basis, Paragon hereby grants to Spyre, during the Term and subject to delivery of the Election Notice in accordance with Section 4.3, an exclusive option (“Option”), to be granted an exclusive license to all of Paragon’s right, title, and interest in and to the Project Antibody Technology under the applicable Research Program to Develop and Commercialize Project Antibodies, Derived Antibodies and Products in the Field in the Territory.

4.2 Limited License Grant During Option Period. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on a Research Program-by-Research Program basis, and effective only during the Term, Paragon hereby grants to Spyre a limited, exclusive, royalty-free license, without the right to sublicense, under the Project Antibody Technology arising from such Research Program solely to evaluate the Option and for the purpose of allowing Spyre to determine whether to exercise the Option with respect to such Research Program.

4.3 Option Exercise. On a Research Program-by-Research Program basis, Spyre may, in its sole discretion, exercise the Option at any time during the period beginning on the initiation of activities under such Research Program and ending [***] days following Spyre’s receipt of the Deliverables for such Research Program, or such longer period as agreed upon by the Parties (“Option Period”) by delivering written notice of such exercise to Paragon (“Election Notice”). If Spyre fails to exercise an Option in accordance with this Section 4.3 prior to expiration of the applicable Option Period, then, upon such expiration, such Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

4.4 License Template; Execution After Option Exercise.

(a) Within [***] days of the Effective Date, the Parties shall negotiate [***] and use [***] to agree upon a form of agreement template (“License Template”) to be used in connection with Spyre’s exercise of its Option with respect to a given Research Program. The License Template will be consistent with the economic and other terms set forth in Exhibit B, and upon mutual agreement by the Parties on the form of the License Template, will be attached to this Agreement and replace the terms on the existing Exhibit B. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the definitive terms of the License Template within such [***] period, the matter will be resolved in accordance with Section 11.7.

(b) Within [***] days of Spyre’s exercise of its Option with respect to a Research Program as set forth in Section 4.3, the Parties shall use [***] to finalize and execute a definitive written agreement consistent with the License Template (the “License Agreement”) with respect to such Research Program.

ARTICLE 5

PAYMENTS

5.1 Research Initiation Fee. Spyre shall pay to Paragon, on a Research Program-by-Research Program basis, a one-time nonrefundable fee of $750,000 (the “Research Initiation Fee”) no later than [***] days following finalization of the Research Plan for such Research Program. For clarity, the Research Initiation Fee is nonrefundable and separate from any Development Costs (including Pre-Effective Date Development Costs) or Cost Advance paid or owing with respect to a particular Research Program.

9

5.2 Development Costs.

(a) On a quarterly basis for each Research Program, Spyre will advance to Paragon any Development Costs contemplated in the Budget, including [***], and any [***] reasonably expected to be incurred by Paragon in the performance of the Research Program during the upcoming [***] (less any pre-payments for Third Party Costs from earlier [***] that Paragon reasonably anticipates will be carried over to such upcoming [***]) (the “Cost Advance”). Spyre will pay the Cost Advance within [***] days after receipt of Paragon’s invoice for such Development Costs. The Parties acknowledge that Paragon has incurred approximately $10,000,000 in Development Costs prior to the Effective Date, as a result of work performed by Paragon at risk on one or more Research Programs (the “Pre-Effective Date Development Costs”), which amount includes for Research Initiation Fees of $3,000,000 for a total of four Research Programs. Spyre shall reimburse Paragon for the Pre-Effective Date Development Costs no later than [***] days after the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) Spyre’s receipt of a written invoice that details the Pre-Effective Date Development Costs and includes reasonable documentation therefor.

(b) Within [***] after the end of each Calendar Year, Paragon will calculate and provide to Spyre a written reconciliation of its actually-incurred Third Party Costs (incurred in a manner consistent with the Budget) for the prior Calendar Year (“Actual Annual Costs”) against that portion of the Cost Advance for such Third Party Costs for that Calendar Year, including reasonable documentation of such Actual Annual Costs. The form of such reconciliation shall be subject to JDC review and approval. If the amounts paid for anticipated Third Party Costs in the Cost Advance exceeds the Actual Annual Costs, then Paragon will credit such excess payment against Development Costs contemplated in the Budget and reasonably expected to be incurred by Paragon in the performance of the Research Program during any upcoming Calendar Year and Spyre will deduct such amount from its next quarterly Cost Advance. If the Cost Advance is less than the Actual Annual Costs, then Paragon will invoice Spyre for the difference and Spyre will pay such amount together with its next quarterly Cost Advance. If no further amounts will be owed to Paragon hereunder, Paragon will refund such amount. For clarity, the above reconciliation will not apply to Annual Development Fees.

5.3 Financial Records. Paragon shall keep complete and accurate books of account and records in sufficient detail to enable the Development Costs payable under this Agreement to be determined. Such books and records shall be kept at the principal place of business of Paragon, for at least [***] following the end of the [***] to which such books and records pertain and Spyre shall be entitled to inspect such books and records at Paragon’s offices upon Spyre’s reasonable request.

5.4 Manner and Method of Payment. All cash payment amounts hereunder are expressed in U.S. dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified. Each payment shall be made by electronic funds transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by Paragon, unless otherwise specified in writing by Paragon.

5.5 Tax. Each Party shall be responsible for paying its own respective taxes in connection with any activities that it performs and any payments that it receives under this Agreement. The Parties will commit [***] to provide each other with any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for any Party to not pay or withhold tax or to pay or withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable income tax treaty.

5.6 Late Payments. In the event that any cash payment due for any undisputed amount under this Agreement is not made when due, then the cash payment shall accrue interest from the date due at a per annum rate equal to two [***] above the then-current per annum prime rate reported by the Wall Street Journal (U.S., Western Edition) or, if lower, the maximum legal annual interest rate.

10

5.7 Equity Grants. Upon completion of each of the Calendar Years ending on December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, Spyre will grant Parapyre nonqualified stock options to purchase a number of Shares equal to 1.00% of the outstanding Shares as of the date of the grant, on a fully-diluted basis (including, assuming the exercise or conversion of any convertible non-voting preferred stock, stock options, pre-funded warrants or similar instruments), with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying Shares on the date of grant as determined by the board of directors of Aeglea (each grant, an “Equity Grant”). Such options will vest immediately upon grant, be exercisable for a period of ten (10) years following the date of the grant.

15

demand, action, or other proceeding by any Third Party (“Third Party Claim”) to the extent such Losses result from: (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Spyre Indemnitee in the performance of this Agreement; or (b) the material breach by any Spyre Indemnitee of this Agreement; except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the negligence or willful misconduct of any Paragon Indemnitee or the material breach by Paragon of this Agreement, or where such Losses are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 below.

10.2 By Paragon. Paragon hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Spyre, Aeglea, Spyre’s and Aeglea’s Affiliates, and their Representatives (each, a “Spyre Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Spyre Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Losses result from: (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Paragon Indemnitee in the performance of this Agreement; or (b) the material breach by any Paragon Indemnitee of this Agreement; except, in each case, to the extent such Losses result from the negligence or willful misconduct of any Spyre Indemnitee, the material breach by Spyre of this Agreement, or where such Losses are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1 above.

ARTICLE 11

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Independent Contractor Relationship. Each of Paragon’s and Parapyre’s relationship with Spyre is that of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or employer-employee relationship. No Party is an agent of any other Party or authorized to make any representation, contract or commitment on behalf of any other Party.

11.2 Force Majeure. No Party will be charged with any liability for delay or failure in performance of an obligation under this Agreement (other than any obligation to pay monies when due) to the extent such delay or failure is due to a cause beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, such as war, riots, labor disturbances, epidemic, pandemic, fire, explosion, and compliance in good faith with any Applicable Law. The Party affected will give prompt written notice to the other Parties of the nature of the cause of any material delay or failure to perform, its anticipated duration and any action being taken to avoid or minimize the effect. The Party affected will use its diligent efforts to avoid or remove such causes of delay or failure to perform and to mitigate the effect of such occurrence, and will continue performance in accordance with the terms of this

16

Agreement whenever such causes are removed. The Party affected will give prompt written notice to the other Parties of such resumed performance. If any such failure or delay in a Party’s performance hereunder continues for more than [***] days, any of the other Parties may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the affected Party.

11.3 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with all Exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the final, complete, and exclusive agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, relating to its subject matter. This Agreement (including its Exhibits) may not be changed, modified, amended, or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by all Parties.

11.4 Non-Waiver. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right arising out of this Agreement shall neither impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part, in that instance or in any other instance. Any waiver by a Party of a particular provision or right shall be in writing, shall be as to a particular matter and, if applicable, for a particular period of time and shall be signed by such Party.

11.5 Severability. Should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement become void or unenforceable as a matter of Applicable Law, then this Agreement shall be construed as if such provision were not contained herein and the remainder of this Agreement shall be in full force and effect, and the Parties will use their best efforts to substitute for the invalid or unenforceable provision a valid and enforceable provision which conforms as nearly as possible with the original intent of the Parties.

11.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that any Party may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder without the other Parties’ consent to its successor to all or substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, and the name of a Party appearing herein will be deemed to include the name of such Party’s successors and permitted assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this section. Any assignment not in accordance with this Agreement shall be void.

11.7 Dispute Resolution. The Parties recognize that a bona fide dispute as to certain matters may arise from time to time during the Term relating to any Party’s rights or obligations hereunder or otherwise relating to the validity, enforceability or performance of this Agreement, including disputes relating to alleged breach or termination of this Agreement but excluding any disputes relating to Article 7 (Confidentiality) hereof or disputes relating to the determination of the validity, scope, infringement, enforceability, inventorship or ownership of the Parties’ respective Intellectual Property Rights (hereinafter, a “Dispute”). In the event of the occurrence of any Dispute, the Parties will follow the following procedures in an attempt to resolve the dispute or disagreement:

(a) The Party claiming that such a Dispute exists will give notice in writing (a “Notice of Dispute”) to the other Parties of the nature of the Dispute.

(b) The Dispute will be referred to the then Chief Executive Officer of Paragon and the then Chief Executive Officer of Spyre who will meet no later than [***] following the initial receipt of the Notice of Dispute and use reasonable endeavors to resolve the Dispute.

17

(c) If, within [***] days of initial receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the Dispute has not been resolved, or if, for any reason, the meeting described in Section 11.7(b) hereof has not been held within [***] days of initial receipt of the Notice of Dispute, then the Parties agree that such Dispute will be finally resolved through binding arbitration to be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules, as specifically modified by the provisions of this Section 11.7(c). The arbitration will be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators. Within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration, each Party will nominate one person to act as arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so named will then jointly appoint the third arbitrator within [***] days of their appointment, who will serve as chairman of the panel. All three arbitrators must be independent Third Parties having at least [***] years of dispute resolution experience (which may include judicial experience) or legal or business experience in the biotech or pharmaceutical industry. If any Party fails to nominate its arbitrator, or if the arbitrators selected by the Parties cannot agree on a person to be named as chairman within such [***]-day period, JAMS will make the necessary appointments for such arbitrator(s) or the chairman. Once appointed by a Party, such Party will have no ex parte communication with its appointed arbitrator. The place of arbitration will be in Boston, Massachusetts or such other venue as the Parties may mutually agree. The arbitration proceedings and all communications with respect thereto will be in English. Any written evidence originally in another language will be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or a true copy thereof. The arbitrators have the power to decide all matters in Dispute, including any questions of whether or not such matters are subject to arbitration hereunder. The arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof. The existence, content and results of any arbitration proceedings pursuant to this Section 11.7 will be deemed the Confidential Information of all Parties.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Party may immediately initiate litigation in any court of competent jurisdiction seeking any remedy at law or in equity, including the issuance of a preliminary, temporary or permanent injunction, to preserve or enforce its rights under this Agreement.

(e) The Parties agree that any disputes relating to Article 7 (Confidentiality) hereof or disputes relating to the determination of the validity, scope, infringement, enforceability, inventorship or ownership of the Parties’ respective Intellectual Property Rights shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in New York, New York and each Party hereby submits to such jurisdiction.

11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without reference to conflicts of laws principles.
