12.3. Patent Prosecution.

(a) Licensed Patents in the Licensed Territory. Karuna shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to conduct Patent Prosecution of the Licensed Patents in the Licensed Territory at its sole cost and expense. Karuna shall consult with Zai and keep Zai reasonably informed of the Patent Prosecution of the Licensed Patents in the Licensed Territory and shall provide Zai with all material correspondence received from any patent authority in the Licensed Territory in connection therewith. In addition, Karuna shall provide Zai with drafts of all proposed material filings and correspondence to any patent authority in the Licensed Territory in connection with the Patent Prosecution of the Licensed Patents for Zai’s review and comment prior to the submission of such proposed filings and correspondence. Karuna shall consider in good faith Zai’s comments on such Patent Prosecution but shall have final decision-making authority under this Section 12.3(a). Further, Karuna shall notify Zai of any decision to cease Patent Prosecution of any Licensed Patent in the Licensed Territory at least [***] before any due date for filing, payment or other action to avoid loss of rights, in which case Zai shall have the right to continue the Patent Prosecution of such Licensed Patent at Zai’s discretion and expense. If Zai decides to take over Patent Prosecution of a Licensed Patent in such Region(s) in the Licensed Territory, then Karuna shall promptly deliver to Zai copies of all necessary files related to such Licensed Patent in such Region(s) in the Licensed Territory and shall take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary for Zai to assume such responsibility. For the avoidance of doubt, Zai’s assumption of responsibility for Patent Prosecution of any Licensed Patent in any Region(s) in the Licensed Territory pursuant to this Section 12.3(a) shall not change the Parties’ respective ownership rights with respect to such Licensed Patent.

(b) Zai Patents. Zai shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) have the sole right, but not the obligation, in the Licensed Territory to conduct the Patent Prosecution and maintenance of any Zai Patents; and (ii) have the first right, but not the obligation, outside the Licensed Territory, to conduct the Patent Prosecution and maintenance of any Zai Patents that are used by a Party or its Affiliates in the Exploitation of the Licensed Product, if any (“Zai Implemented Patents”). Zai shall keep Karuna reasonably informed of the status of all actions taken, including its plans to enter into national phase for PCT applications of Zai Implemented Patent in any country outside the Licensed Territory, and shall consider in good faith Karuna’s recommendations with respect to the Zai Implemented Patents prosecuted by Zai in the PCT stage or outside the Territory. Further, Zai shall notify Karuna of any decision to cease Patent Prosecution or maintenance of any Zai Implemented Patent outside the Licensed Territory (including any decision of not entering into national phase in any country outside the Licensed Territory) at least [***] before any due date for filing, payment or other action to avoid loss of rights, in which case Karuna shall have the right, but not the obligation, to continue the Patent Prosecution or maintenance of such Zai Implemented Patent outside the Licensed Territory (including entering into national phase in any country outside the Licensed Territory that Zai has decided not to enter) at Karuna’s discretion and expense. If Karuna decides to take over Patent Prosecution or maintenance of a Zai Implemented Patent outside the Licensed Territory, then Zai shall promptly deliver to Karuna copies of all necessary files related to such Zai Implemented Patent outside the Licensed Territory and shall take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary for Karuna to assume such responsibility. For the avoidance of doubt, Karuna’s assumption of responsibility for Patent Prosecution or maintenance of any Zai Implemented Patent outside the Territory pursuant to this Section 12.3(b) shall not change the Parties’ respective ownership rights with respect to such Zai Implemented Patent.

12.4. Enforcement.

(a) Product Infringement.

(i) Each Party shall notify the other within [***] of becoming aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any of the Licensed Patents in the Licensed Territory, by commercializing (or seeking Regulatory Approval to commercialize) the Licensed Product or any other product containing the Compound in the Field in the Licensed Territory, and any related declaratory judgment, opposition, or similar action by a Third Party alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any Licensed Patent in the Licensed Territory, in each case, within the scope of the license grants in Section 2.1 (collectively “Product Infringement”).

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED

(ii) Zai shall have the first right to bring and control any legal action in connection with such Product Infringement in the Licensed Territory at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate, provided that Karuna may, [***], elect to be represented by its own counsel and participate in such legal action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zai shall not settle or consent to entry of any judgment that would have a material adverse effect on the Licensed Product or any Licensed Patent without Karuna’s prior written consent. If Zai does not bring such legal action prior to the earlier of: (A) [***] following the receipt or delivery of the notice under Section 12.4(a)(i), or (B) [***] before the deadline, if any, set forth in the Applicable Laws for the filing of such actions, or discontinues the prosecution of any such action after filing without abating such infringement, Karuna shall have the right to bring and control any legal action in connection with such Product Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate.

(b) Non-Product Infringement. Karuna shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any legal action in connection with any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Licensed Patent that is not a Product Infringement, and any related declaratory judgment, opposition, or similar action by a Third Party alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of such Licensed Patent, at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate.

(c) Enforcement of Zai Patents. Karuna shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any legal action in connection with any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any of the Zai Implemented Patents, which infringement takes place outside the Licensed Territory by commercializing (or seeking Regulatory Approval to commercialize) the Licensed Product or any other product containing the Compound in the Field outside the Licensed Territory, and any related declaratory judgment, opposition, or similar action by a Third Party alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any of the Zai Implemented Patents outside the Licensed Territory, at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate, in each case within the scope of the license grants in Section 2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Karuna shall not settle or consent to entry of any judgment that would have a material adverse effect on any Zai Implemented Patent without Zai’s prior written consent. If Karuna does not bring such legal action prior to the earlier of: (i) [***] following receipt or delivery of notice between the Parties regarding such alleged infringement, or (ii) [***] before the deadline, if any, set forth in the Applicable Laws for the filing of such actions, or discontinues the prosecution of any such action after filing without abating such infringement, Zai shall have the right to bring and control any legal action in connection with infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate. Except as otherwise provided under this Section 12.4(c), Zai shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any legal action in connection with any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any of the Zai Patents, and any related declaratory judgment, opposition, or similar action by a Third Party alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any of the Zai Patents anywhere in the world, at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate.

(d) Coordination. At the request of the Party bringing an action related to Product Infringement or otherwise as described in this Section 12.4, the other Party shall provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith, including by executing reasonably appropriate documents, cooperating in discovery and joining as a party to the action if required by Applicable Laws to pursue such action, at each such Party’s sole cost and expense. In connection with an action related to Product Infringement or otherwise as described in this Section 12.4, the Party bringing the action shall not enter into any settlement admitting the invalidity or non-infringement of, or otherwise impairing the other Party’s rights in the Licensed Patents or Zai Patents, as applicable, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned). The enforcing Party shall keep the non-enforcing Party reasonably informed of the status of any action it brought in connection with such Product Infringement or otherwise as described in this Section 12.4. The non-enforcing Party shall be entitled to attend any substantive meetings, hearings, or other proceedings related to any such action pursued by the enforcing Party. The enforcing Party shall provide the non-enforcing Party with copies of all pleadings and other documents to be filed with the court reasonably in advance and shall consider in good faith reasonable and timely input from the non-enforcing Party during the course of the action.

[***] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OMITTED

(e) Recoveries. Any recoveries resulting from enforcement action relating to a claim of Product Infringement or otherwise as described in this Section 12.4 shall be first applied against payment of the enforcing Party’s costs and expenses in connection therewith and then the non-enforcing Party’s costs and expenses in connection therewith. Any such recoveries in excess of such costs and expenses shall [***].

12.5. Defense.

(a) Each Party shall notify the other in writing of any allegations it receives from a Third Party that the Exploitation of the Compound or Licensed Product in the Field in the Licensed Territory or any embodiment of any technology or intellectual property licensed by the other Party under this Agreement infringes the intellectual property rights of such Third Party. Such notice shall be provided promptly, but in no event after more than [***] following receipt of such allegations. Such written notice shall include a copy of any summons or complaint (or the equivalent thereof) received regarding the foregoing. Thereafter, the Parties shall promptly meet to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action and may, if appropriate, agree on and enter into a “common interest agreement” wherein the Parties agree to their shared, mutual interest in the outcome of such potential dispute. Each Party shall assert and not waive the joint defense privilege with respect to all communications between the Parties.

(b) As between the Parties, Zai shall have the first right, but not the obligation to control and be solely responsible for the defense of any such suit against Zai, at Zai’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, Zai shall not enter into any compromise or settlement relating to such suit that (i) admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any Licensed Patents; or (ii) requires abandonment of any Licensed Patents; or (iii) contemplates payment or other action by Karuna or has a material adverse effect on Karuna’s business, in all cases ((i) through (iii)), without obtaining the prior written consent of Karuna (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned).

(c) If Zai decides not to bring such legal action subject to its first right, it shall so inform Karuna promptly and Karuna shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any such legal action in connection with such infringement in the Licensed Territory at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate; provided, however, Karuna shall not enter into any compromise or settlement relating to such suit that (i) admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any Licensed Patents; or (ii) requires abandonment of any Licensed Patents; or (iii) contemplates payment or other action by Zai or has a material adverse effect on Zai’s business, in all cases ((i) through (iii)), without obtaining the prior written consent of Zai (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned).

(d) Upon the defending Party’s request and at the defending Party’s expense, the non-defending Party shall provide reasonable assistance to the defending Party for such defense and shall join such suit if deemed a necessary party. If the non-defending Party does not join such suit, the defending Party shall keep the non-defending Party reasonably informed of the status of such suit. The non-defending Party shall be entitled to attend any substantive meetings, hearings, or other proceedings related to such suit. The defending Party shall provide the non-defending Party with copies of all pleadings and other documents to be filed with the court reasonably in advance and shall consider in good faith reasonable and timely input from the non-defending Party during the course of the suit.

12.7. Bankruptcy Protection. All licenses granted by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement are and shall otherwise be deemed to be for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11, United States Code or any applicable foreign equivalent laws (the “Bankruptcy Code”) licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Party, as the licensee, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, upon the bankruptcy of a Party, the other Party shall further be entitled to a complete duplicate of, or complete access to, any such intellectual property, and such, if not already in its possession, shall be promptly delivered to such other Party, unless the bankruptcy Party elects to continue, and continues, to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement.

Initial Press Release

Karuna Therapeutics and Zai Lab Announce Strategic Collaboration for Development, Manufacturing, and Commercialization of KarXT in Greater China

Zai Lab obtains exclusive rights to develop and commercialize KarXT in Greater China

Karuna to receive upfront cash payment of $35 million, up to $152 million in potential near- and long-term development and commercial milestones and other payments, and low-double-digit to high-teens tiered royalties

BOSTON, SHANGHAI and SAN FRANCISCO – Nov. 9, 2021 — Karuna Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KRTX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company driven to create and deliver transformative medicines for people living with psychiatric and neurological conditions, and Zai Lab Limited (NASDAQ: ZLAB; HKEX: 9688), a patient-focused, innovative, commercial-stage, global biopharmaceutical company, today announced their entry into an exclusive license agreement for the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of KarXT (xanomeline-trospium) in Greater China, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

KarXT is an oral, investigational M1/M4-preferring muscarinic agonist that stimulates receptors in the central nervous system implicated in various psychiatric conditions. KarXT was designed to unlock the therapeutic potential of xanomeline, which demonstrated significant benefits in reducing symptoms of psychosis in Phase 2 studies in schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease, while ameliorating side effects seen in earlier studies. In the Phase 2 EMERGENT-1 trial, KarXT demonstrated clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in the primary endpoint of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score, and in key secondary endpoints, including PANSS-positive subscore and PANSS-negative subscore, at week 5, and was generally well-tolerated.

Karuna is evaluating KarXT in late-stage clinical trials for the treatment of schizophrenia and psychosis in Alzheimer’s disease. The EMERGENT program, the clinical program evaluating KarXT for the treatment of schizophrenia, is underway. The EMERGENT program is comprised of the previously completed Phase 2 EMERGENT-1 trial and four ongoing Phase 3 trials, with data from EMERGENT-2 and EMERGENT-3, the two Phase 3 acute efficacy and safety trials, expected in mid-2022 and in the second half of 2022, respectively. Karuna plans to initiate the Phase 3 ARISE trial evaluating KarXT as an adjunctive treatment for schizophrenia in adults who inadequately respond to atypical antipsychotics in the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, Karuna also plans to initiate a Phase 3 program evaluating KarXT for the treatment of psychosis in Alzheimer’s disease in mid-2022 following encouraging results from the completed Phase 1b healthy elderly volunteer trial, which suggest that potentially therapeutic doses of KarXT can be administered to elderly adults while maintaining a favorable tolerability profile. Zai Lab will work with Karuna to design the optimal strategy to accelerate the development and regulatory timeline of KarXT in Greater China.

Under the terms of the agreement, Karuna will receive a $35 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to an additional $80 million in development and regulatory milestones. Karuna is also eligible to receive up to $72 million in sales milestones and low-double-digit to high-teens tiered royalties based on annual net sales of KarXT in Greater China. Zai Lab will fund substantially all development, regulatory, and commercialization activities in Greater China.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Zai Lab, who shares our commitment to bringing transformative medicines to people living with psychiatric conditions globally,” said Steve Paul, M.D., chief executive officer, president, and chairman of Karuna Therapeutics. “With their proven record of successfully developing and commercializing novel therapies in Greater China, we believe that Zai Lab is the ideal partner to expand the global footprint for KarXT alongside our ongoing efforts in the U.S., with the goal of providing meaningful treatments to millions of people living with mental illness globally.”

“Our collaboration with Karuna is a significant milestone for Zai Lab, marking the expansion and diversification of our development and commercial portfolio into neuroscience, our fourth therapeutic area,” said Samantha Du, Ph.D., founder, chairperson and chief executive officer of Zai Lab. “KarXT is well positioned to serve as the anchor asset in our new neuroscience franchise. Zai Lab’s mission is to deliver innovative medicines to address unmet medical needs of patients, and we look forward to working with Karuna to bring KarXT to patients in need in Greater China as soon as possible.”

“There is a significant need for new and more effective therapies with improved safety to treat serious psychiatric conditions in Greater China,” said Gang Wang, M.D., Director of National Clinical Research Center for Mental Disorders, Dean of Beijing Anding Hospital, Capital Medical University. “Currently, more than 8 million people in Greater China are living with schizophrenia, yet fewer than half are receiving treatment, and even fewer are obtaining adequate symptom improvement from current treatment. We believe KarXT has the potential to provide a meaningful new treatment option for many patients living with schizophrenia and other conditions with disabling symptoms of psychosis.”

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is acting as financial advisor to Karuna Therapeutics.

About KarXT

KarXT (xanomeline-trospium) is an oral, investigational M1/M4-preferring muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist in development for the treatment of psychiatric and neurological conditions, including schizophrenia and dementia-related psychosis. KarXT preferentially stimulates muscarinic receptors in the central nervous system implicated in these conditions, as opposed to current antipsychotic medicines, which bind to the D₂ dopamine receptor. KarXT has the potential to usher in a new class of treatment for schizophrenia and dementia-related psychosis based on its differentiated mechanism of action.

About Karuna Therapeutics

Karuna Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company driven to create and deliver transformative medicines for people living with psychiatric and neurological conditions.
