Exhibit 10.12

CLINICAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATION

MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Clinical Research Organization Master Services Agreement (“Agreement”), is effective June 12, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), by and between AROG PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation, having a principal place of business at 5420 LBJ Freeway, Suite 410, Dallas TX 75240 (“Sponsor”), and DAVA ONCOLOGY, LP D/B/A DAVA CRO SERVICES, having a principal place of business at or address at 5420 LBJ Freeway, Suite 410, Dallas, TX 75240 (“CRO”). Sponsor and CRO may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” or, collectively, as the “Parties”.

Whereas, CRO was founded in 2007 and has assisted pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies develop novel agents for the treatment of cancer since its inception;

Whereas, CRO’s service offerings have included, but are not necessarily limited to, clinical trials management, regulatory affairs consulting, database management, and statistical analysis of clinical research and product development for pharmaceutical and diagnostic products;

Whereas, CRO assisted in the formation of Sponsor in 2010;

Whereas, CRO assisted in the identification of crenolanib and its associated benzimidazole backbone library as in-licensing candidates for Sponsor from Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”);

Whereas, CRO assisted Sponsor in negotiating its April 28, 2010 License Agreement with Pfizer;

WHEREAS, CRO has continued to assist Sponsor as its preferred contract research organization for the development and manufacturing of crenolanib since 2010;

Whereas, Sponsor acknowledges the necessity continued services from CRO to fulfill its corporate objectives, as it will likely not find a similar qualified company possessing the expert knowledge and know-how that CRO has developed over the past eight years;

Whereas, Sponsor desires to continue conducting clinical trials with crenolanib (“Study” or “Studies”) each governed by an applicable protocol (“Protocol”);

Whereas, CRO acknowledges the continued desire to provide services to Sponsor; and

Whereas, Sponsor and CRO desire to enter into this Agreement to formalize the terms and conditions upon which CRO has and will continue to provide services to Sponsor.

Now THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties intending to be legally bound, hereto agree as follows:

Scope Of Agreement.

1.1 Scope of Agreement. As a “master” form of contract, this Agreement allows the Parties to contract for services in connection with Studies, on a project-by-project basis through the execution and delivery of agreements in form substantially similar to the Individual Project Agreement (as discussed in Section 1.2 below and attached hereto), without having to re-negotiate the basic terms and conditions contained herein. This Agreement covers the provision of services by CRO and CRO’s corporate affiliates for Sponsor and Sponsor’s affiliates (see Section 1.4) and accordingly, this Agreement enables Sponsor and its affiliates to contract efficiently with CRO and its affiliates on a global basis covering a broad range of services.

1.2 Individual Project Agreements. The specific details of each services project under this Agreement (each ‘‘Project”) shall be specified in writing in an Individual Project Agreement (“IPA”) in a form substantially similar to Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by reference. Each IPA shall detail the services to be performed thereunder (the “Services”) and shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties shall attach a copy of each IPA as an exhibit to this Agreement.

1.3 Amendments and Conflicts. Any change to an IPA shall be documented in a written amendment mutually agreed upon and executed by the Parties (an “Amendment”). Each Party acknowledges that an Amendment may necessitate a change in the delivery schedule and/or fees due under the applicable IPA. Each Amendment shall detail the requested changes to the applicable task, responsibility, duty, budget, time line or other matter. No Amendment will be binding upon either Party until it is signed by the authorized representatives of both Parties, and CRO shall be given a reasonable time to implement any such Amendment. Both Parties agree to act in good faith and to do so promptly when considering a proposed Amendment. For any Amendment that affects the scope of the regulatory obligations that have been transferred to CRO, CRO and Sponsor shall execute a corresponding amendment to Attachment C to the pertinent IPA. Sponsor shall file such amended Attachment C where appropriate or as is otherwise required by law. Each IPA and Amendment will be governed by the terms of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and those of an IPA or Amendment, this Agreement will control unless the IPA or Amendment (as the case may be) expressly refers to the Parties’ intent to alter the terms of this Agreement with respect to that IPA or Amendment (as the case may be).

1.4 Disclosure of Hazards. Sponsor shall provide CRO with all information available to it regarding known or potential hazards associated with the use of any substances supplied to CRO by Sponsor, and Sponsor shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation those concerning the shipment of substances by the land, sea or air.

Compensation And Expenses.

2.1 Fees, Expenses and Payment Terms. Sponsor will pay CRO fees, pass-through costs and expenses in accordance with the applicable IPA(s). Unless otherwise agreed to in a particular IPA, the following shall apply: (a) Sponsor shall reimburse CRO for those reasonable and necessary expenses and pass-through costs incurred in the performance of the Services which are approved by Sponsor in advance and in writing; (b) travel time is not compensable; (c) CRO will invoice Sponsor monthly within thirty (30) days of the month during which the Services were performed; and (d) Sponsor shall pay each undisputed invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt. If Sponsor disputes any portion of an invoice received from CRO, then Sponsor shall so notify CRO in writing of the disputed amounts and shall pay the undisputed amounts as set forth in the preceding sentence and the Parties shall use good faith efforts to reconcile the disputed amounts as soon as practicable. Except as otherwise agreed upon by Sponsor in an Amendment, CRO agrees to accept the foregoing amounts as payment in full for performance of the Services specified in the applicable IPA(s) and further agrees that the amounts specified in an IPA are the maximum amounts due for the Services performed thereunder unless otherwise agreed upon by Sponsor in an Amendment.

2.2 Taxes. CRO is an independent contractor, and shall not be considered an employee or agent of Sponsor. CRO has no authority to obligate Sponsor by contract or otherwise. CRO is not entitled to receive any employee welfare, pension or fringe benefits of any type from Sponsor including, but not limited to, medical and dental coverage, disability, life insurance, severance, stock or deferred compensation programs, vacation or other paid time off. CRO shall be responsible for all applicable taxes, tariffs and duties, including withholding, value added, stamp, income, (e.g. payroll and employment taxes) and any other similar charges assessed by any government authority with respect to the Services rendered by CRO under this Agreement or any IPA. When Sponsor pays any such taxes on behalf of CRO, Sponsor shall be entitled to deduct such amount from amounts due to Sponsor. The Parties shall cooperate in seeking refunds of taxes where the opportunity to do so exists.

2.3 Currency. Sponsor shall pay all invoices in US dollars unless otherwise set forth in the applicable IPA.

2.4 Transparency Reporting. Any payment or benefit provided to a healthcare professional or a teaching institution directly or indirectly on behalf of Sponsor must comply with (a) the policy and law for the country, region or state in which the healthcare professional/teaching institution resides and/or practices medicine, and (b) the specific requirements of any governmental agency which requires Sponsor to publicly report certain payments and benefits.

2.5 Subcontracting. Except as permitted by Section 1.4, CRO will not subcontract or otherwise delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without Sponsor’s express prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Provided that Sponsor grants such consent, CRO shall enter into a binding written agreement with such subcontractor that protects Sponsor’s rights and interests to at least the same degree as this Agreement. CRO will be responsible for the direction and coordination of the services of each approved subcontractor. Sponsor will have no obligation or liability to any subcontractor. For the avoidance of doubt, use of vendors by CRO or its affiliates for such services as testing and consulting shall not be construed as impermissible subcontracting absent consent of Sponsor.

2.6 Key Personnel. Sponsor will review and approve all key personnel assigned to each Study, including the investigator. In the event there are changes to any key personnel during the conduct of the Study, CRO will notify Sponsor immediately and Sponsor shall have the right to approve such changes. CRO will not bill Sponsor for any training of replacement staff assigned to the Study.

4.1 Information Defined. “Information” means any information, whether or not designated as confidential, disclosed to one Party (“Recipient”) by the other Party (“Discloser”), either directly or indirectly in writing, orally, electronically or by delivery of tangible objects, including, but not limited to confidential or proprietary information, including without limitation, (a) concepts, ideas, inventions, models, diagrams, designs, data, documents, research, studies, analyses, forecasts, processes, procedures, systems, technology, intellectual property, trade secrets, business plans or opportunities, business strategies, marketing plans or opportunities, marketing strategies, product development plans or opportunities, future projects or products, projects or products under consideration, and information relating to finances, costs, prices, suppliers, vendors, customers and employees, and (b) any information that contains, reflects, or is based upon, in whole or in part, any Information furnished to Recipient by Discloser, including without limitation any notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations, memoranda or other documents or tangible objects. Information may also include information previously disclosed to Discloser by third parties.

4.2 Nondisclosure and Confidentiality Obligations. Recipient agrees that it will and will require its directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors to: (a) hold Discloser’s Information in strict confidence using the same standard of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care; (b) not disclose the Information of Discloser to any third party without Discloser’s prior written consent, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement; and (c) limit access to Discloser’s Information to those of its employees or agents having a need to know for purposes of performance hereunder who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those set forth herein. Any trade secrets of a Party will also be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C 90), and any other like state laws or regulations, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may make disclosures as required by a court of law or any governmental entity or agency, provided that Recipient provides Discloser with reasonable prior notice to allow Discloser to seek confidential treatment of such Information through a protective order or otherwise. Recipient shall, at the expense of Discloser, provide Discloser with any reasonable assistance requested, and shall not oppose actions by Discloser to assure confidential treatment. If Discloser is unable to obtain such protective order or other appropriate remedy, Recipient will furnish only that portion of the Information which it is legally required to furnish. Any disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall not affect or lessen Recipient’s obligations hereunder.

4.3 Use of Information. Recipient agrees that it will not use Information other than as necessary for the provision of Services. Information disclosed by Discloser under this Agreement shall, in all respects, remain the sole property of Discloser and nothing contained herein shall be construed as granting or conferring to Recipient any license, interest, ownership rights or intellectual property rights in such Information.

4.4 Exclusions. The restrictions on the use and disclosure of Information shall not apply to any of Discloser’s Information (or portion thereof) which (a) is or becomes publicly known through no act or omission of Recipient; (b) is lawfully received from a third party without restriction on disclosure; (c) is already known by Recipient at the time it is disclosed by Discloser, as shown by Recipient’s records; or (d) is independently developed by Recipient without reference to or reliance upon Discloser’s Information, as shown by Recipient’s records. Pursuant to the ‘whistle blower’ protection in the Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), the Parties to this Agreement have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. See 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).

4.5 Nondisclosure and Confidentiality Period. Recipient’s confidentiality obligations as set forth above shall continue in full force and effect for the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years from the expiration or termination of this Agreement, except for any trade secret recognized as such under the Uniform Trade Secret Act for which Recipient’s obligations with respect to use and disclosure shall continue unless and until the applicable Information of Discloser falls within an exception set forth in Section 4.3.

4.6 Injunctive Relief. Recipient acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 4 could cause irreparable harm to Discloser, the extent of which would be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, Recipient agrees that, in addition to any other remedies to which Discloser may be legally entitled, Discloser shall have the right to seek immediate injunctive or other equitable relief in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 4 by Recipient or any of its representatives.

If CRO determines it is obligated by law or a governmental authority to make any such announcement or release, CRO shall promptly notify Sponsor and cooperate with Sponsor to ensure that suitable confidentiality obligations are afforded such information. Project results may not be published or referred to, in whole or in part, by CRO or its affiliates without the prior written consent of Sponsor. CRO shall not use any of Sponsor’s trademarks or tradenames without the prior written consent of Sponsor.

4.9 Return of Materials. Upon Discloser’s request or upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Recipient will promptly (a) return to Discloser or, if so directed by Discloser, destroy all tangible embodiments of Discloser’s Information (in every form and medium); (b) permanently erase all electronic files containing or summarizing any of Discloser’s Information (except for any computer records or files that have been created pursuant to Recipient’s automatic archiving and back-up procedures and the removal of which is not technically reasonable); and (c) if so directed by Discloser, confirm to Discloser in writing that Recipient has fully complied with the foregoing obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient shall be permitted to retain one (1) copy of Discloser’s Information for its legal archives (subject to a continuing obligation of confidentiality) or as otherwise required by applicable laws, regulations and ordinances solely for the purpose of assuring compliance with the Recipient’s continuing obligations of confidentiality and non-use under this Agreement..

5. Sponsor Materials. From time to time, Sponsor may provide to CRO certain products, samples and other materials (collectively “Sponsor Materials”) to be used by CRO in connection with the Services.

Term And Termination.

6.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of ten (10) years from the Effective Date, unless terminated early by either Party in accordance with this Agreement. Moreover, this Agreement will automatically renew for periods of three (3) years unless either party provides ninety (90) days prior written notice to expiration of the current term.

6.2 Termination.

(a) Either Party may terminate this Agreement or any IPA by written notice: (i) if the authorization and approval to perform the Study in the United States is withdrawn by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; (ii) in the event the other Party shall formally declare bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, or receivership; or shall have instigated against it bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, or receivership proceedings, and shall fail to remove itself from such proceedings within ten (10) days from the date of institution of such proceedings; or (iii) upon mutual consent.

(b) Any notice of termination shall specify the applicable IPA(s) that are being terminated or that this Agreement is being terminated in its entirety. The termination or expiration of a single IPA shall not cause the automatic termination of any other IPA. This Agreement may not be terminated by Sponsor at any time an IPA remains in place.

(c) In the event this Agreement or any IPA is terminated, Sponsor shall pay CRO, pursuant to Section 2, for all Services successfully performed pursuant to any unfinished IPA prior to such termination, and any non-cancelable expenses incurred in connection with CRO’s performance hereunder; provided, however, if payments under a terminated IPA are milestone-based, and the IPA is terminated after costs have been incurred by CRO toward achieving a milestone, but that milestone has not yet been completed, Sponsor will pay CRO’s standard fees/rates (unless fees/rates are set forth in the IPA) for actual work performed toward that milestone prior to termination instead of any amounts due upon achievement of such milestone up to a maximum amount not to exceed the milestone achievement payment amount. In the event Sponsor terminates this Agreement or individual IPA early, Sponsor shall pay CRO eighty percent (80%) of the remaining project budget that is not paid, according to the applicable IPA. Upon receipt of a termination notice, CRO shall promptly cease performing any work not necessary for the orderly close out of the affected Project(s) or for the fulfillment of regulatory requirements, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any non-cancelable expenses. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, any amounts prepaid by Sponsor for Services not yet performed shall be immediately refunded to Sponsor.

(d) Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or any IPA, or upon Sponsor’s earlier request, CRO shall immediately deliver to Sponsor or Sponsor’s designee (or dispose of as instructed by Sponsor) all Sponsor Materials under the impacted Project(s) and all Work Product (as defined below), including any tangible items of work in process, notes, plans and other materials related in any way to CRO’s performance under the impacted Project(s).

Page 7 of 29

(e) Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party :from liability which, at said time, has already incurred to the other Party and nothing herein shall affect or be construed or operate as a waiver of the right of the Party aggrieved by any breach of this Agreement to be compensated for any injury or damage resulting therefrom which is incurred before or after such expiration or termination.

(f) In the event an IPA is still in effect upon the expiration of this Agreement, such IPA shall remain in effect and shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless and until such IPA is completed or otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the following provisions will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement pursuant to their terms, together with any other provisions necessary for their construction and enforcement: Sections 2.3 (Transparency Reporting), 3 (Representations and Warranties), 4 (Confidentiality}, 6.2 (Termination), 7 (Ownership and Inventions}, 8 (Compliance}, 9 (Indemnification}, 10 (Limitation of Liability}, 11 (Audits) and 13 (Miscellaneous}, and any other provision of this Agreement that by its terms would survive expiration or termination.

Ownership and Inventions.

7.1 Work Product. Subject to Sections 7.2 and 7.3, Sponsor owns all rights, including all intellectual property rights in and to all deliverables and any other work product prepared by or created by CRO under this Agreement (collectively “Work Product”). CRO will and hereby does assign to Sponsor all of CRO’s (and will cause its subcontractors and personnel to assign the entirety of their) right, title and interest in and to the Work Product, including any intellectual property rights in the Work Product throughout the world. CRO understands and agrees that CRO has no right to use the Work Product except as necessary to perform Services for Sponsor.

7.2 Assignment and Waiver of Other Rights. If any intellectual property rights, in the Work Product cannot (as a matter of law) be assigned by CRO to Sponsor as provided in Section 7.1, then (a) CRO unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such rights and all claims and causes of action of any kind against Sponsor with respect to such rights; and (b) to the extent CRO cannot (as a matter of law) make such waiver, CRO unconditionally grants to Sponsor an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fully-paid license, with the right to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, under any and all such rights (i) to reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, digitally transmit and otherwise use the Work Product in any medium or format, whether now known or hereafter discovered; (ii) to use, make, have made, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise exploit any product or service based on, embodying, incorporating or derived :from the Work Product; and (iii) to exercise any and all other present or future rights in the Work Product.

7.3 CRO Property and Third-Party Property. Sponsor acknowledges that certain intellectual property developed, acquired or otherwise obtained by CRO prior to, or independently of, this Agreement (collectively “CRO Property”) and certain intellectual property licensed or obtained by CRO from third parties (collectively “Third-Party Property”) may be used by CRO in the performance of Services under this Agreement. CRO and/or its licensors shall retain ownership in all CRO Property and/or Third-Party Property (as the case may be); provided, however, CRO unconditionally grants to Sponsor a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fully-paid right and license, with the right to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, under all of CRO’s intellectual property rights in any CRO Property incorporated into or necessary for Sponsor to fully utilize and capitalize the Work Product, (a) to reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, digitally transmit and otherwise use the Work Product in any medium or format, whether now known or hereafter discovered; (b) to use, make, have made, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise exploit any product or service based on, embodying, incorporating or derived from the Work Product; and (c) to exercise any and all other present or future rights in the Work Product. Unless the applicable IPA expressly provides otherwise, CRO hereby assigns to Sponsor all of CRO’s licenses and other rights to all Third-Party Property incorporated into the Work Product. If such rights cannot be validly assigned to Sponsor without the consent of a third party, CRO will use its best efforts to obtain such consent (at CRO’s expense) and will indemnify and hold harmless Sponsor, its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors and agents from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from CRO’s failure to obtain such consent.

Page 8 of 29

7.4 Cooperation and Assistance; Power of Attorney. CRO will, at Sponsor’s request, (a) cooperate with and assist Sponsor, both during and after the term of this Agreement, in perfecting, maintaining, protecting and enforcing Sponsor’s rights in the Work Product; and (b) execute and deliver to Sponsor any documents deemed necessary or appropriate by Sponsor in its discretion to perfect, maintain, protect or enforce Sponsor’s rights in the Work Product or otherwise carry out the purpose of this Agreement. Sponsor will reimburse CRO for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by CRO in fulfilling its obligations under this Section 7.4. If

Compliance.

8.1 Study Conduct. CRO shall conduct the Services of each IPA in accordance with the applicable provisions each Study protocol, agreed SOPs, the current Guidelines for Good Clinical Practices for Trials (“GCP Guidelines”), and all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations governing the performance of clinical investigations including, but not limited to, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations of the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and regulations of the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”).

8.2 Regulatory Compliance. CRO agrees that its Services will be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and with the accepted standard of care in the pharmaceutical industry. CRO’s standard operating procedures will be used in performance of each IPA, unless otherwise specifically stated in the pertinent IPA. CRO certifies that it has not been debarred or subject to debarment under the United States Generic Drug Enforcement Act or any applicable law in any other country and that it will not employ any person or entity that has been so debarred or who is subject to debarment to perform any Services under this Agreement. Sponsor represents and certifies that it will not require CRO to perform any assignments or tasks in a manner that would violate any applicable law or regulation. Sponsor further represents that it will cooperate with CRO in taking any actions that CRO reasonably believes are necessary to comply with the regulatory obligations that have been transferred to CRO. CRO further represents and warrants that (i) it is licensed, registered or otherwise qualified under all applicable laws in all material respects to do business in each jurisdiction where such licenses, registrations or other qualifications are required for its entry into this Agreement and performance of its obligations thereunder and under each IPA, (ii) it will have obtained or, as applicable, it will have required the sites where any Protocol under an IPA will be performed to have obtained prior to commencement of the Protocol any licenses, consents, registrations, accreditations, certifications, permits or authorizations required to conduct the Protocol and otherwise perform under this Agreement, and (iii) its performance under this Agreement is not inconsistent with any other of its obligations.

8.3 Inspections and Audits. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party may respond independently to any regulatory correspondence or inquiry directed to such Party or its affiliates. Each Party, however, shall notify the other Party promptly of any FDA or other governmental or regulatory inspection or inquiry concerning any Study or Project of Sponsor in which CRO is providing Services. During any such inspection or inquiry, the Parties agree to make reasonable efforts to disclose only the information required to be disclosed. Sponsor agrees that it shall not disclose to any third party any information ascertained by Sponsor in connection with any such audit or examination, except to the extent required by law or regulation or in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement or a pertinent IPA.

8.4 Relationship with Investigators.

(a) If CRO will be obligated to contract with investigators or investigative sites (collectively, “Investigators”) then CRO will use its local clinical trial agreement form, subject to review, modification and approval by Sponsor (“Local CTAs”) that have developed for use in specific countries based on local requirements. In countries where required, Local CTAs will be prepared in the local language, or the English language where permitted and appropriate, unless an industry-standard form is required in the country in question or a site-specific form is required by a site that has been selected. CRO will make available to Sponsor any applicable Local CTAs, industry-standard forms, site-specific forms for inspection and approval by Sponsor prior to use, and CRO shall promptly transmit to Sponsor copies of all such executed documents. If an Investigator insists upon any material changes to any provisions that directly affect Sponsor (confidentiality, intellectual property, liability, indemnification, publication, protocol compliance and inspections), then CRO shall submit the proposed change to Sponsor, and Sponsor shall review, comment on and/or approve such proposed changes within ten (10) working days, if at all. If the forms specified above, or any changes approved by Sponsor, differ from the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, provisions allowing an Investigator to publish results or data that CRO is prohibited from revealing), then CRO shall have no liability for any such provisions or changes.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except as to employees of CRO or its affiliates, Investigators shall not be considered the employees, agents, or subcontractors of CRO. All Investigators shall exercise their own independent medical judgment. CRO’ responsibilities with respect to Investigators shall be limited to those responsibilities specifically set forth in this Agreement.

(c) If CRO will be paying Investigators on behalf of Sponsor, the Parties will agree in the pertinent IPA as to a schedule of amounts to be paid to Investigators. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees CRO will only pay Investigators from advances or pre-payments received from Sponsor for Investigators’ services, and that CRO will not make payments to Investigators prior to receipt of sufficient funds from Sponsor. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that CRO will not be responsible for delays in a study or Project to the extent that such delays are caused by Sponsor’s failure to make adequate prepayment for Investigators’ services. Sponsor further acknowledges and agrees that payments for Investigators’ services are pass-through payments to third parties and are separate from payments for CRO Services. Sponsor agrees that it will not withhold Investigator payments except to the extent that it has reasonable questions about the services performed by a particular Investigator or it has terminated a site.

8.5 Third Party Agreements and Indemnifications.

(a) If CRO will be obligated to enter into agreements with investigative sites or any other third parties, including, but not limited to: Data Monitoring Committees / Data Safety Monitoring Boards, Clinical Events Committees / Endpoint Adjudication Committees, independent laboratories, Advisory Boards, carriers or delivery services, or to arrange on a pass-through basis for third parties to provide services other than those provided by CRO, such as clinical supplies, packaging, preclinical research and pharmaceutical sciences, (collectively, “Third Parties”), such Third Parties shall be independent contractors and shall not be considered the employees, agents, or subcontractors of CRO or Sponsor. Sponsor shall pay CRO for its reasonable time and expenses in negotiating and administering any such Third Party Agreements and supporting Sponsor-requested compliance requirements. If such Third Parties request an indemnification for loss or damage caused by the Sponsor’s Project, then Sponsor shall provide such indemnification directly to the Third Party, but only on terms acceptable to Sponsor. CRO shall not sign such indemnifications on Sponsor’s behalf unless Sponsor has expressly authorized CRO to act as its agent for such purpose or has given CRO a written power of attorney to sign such indemnifications.

Page 10 of 29

(b) Furthermore, some countries require that the local representative must indemnify sites for harm caused by the study drug or otherwise assume primary responsibility for harm caused by the study drug. Those countries are currently Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, Korea, Taiwan, China, India, New Zealand and Mexico (if IMSS sites are used).

CRO will provide Sponsor with written notice of any upcoming audits to enable Sponsor to so participate. If Sponsor chooses to participate pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Sponsor will provide CRO with advance written notice thereof. For clarity, Sponsor’s participation in any auditing activities will not relieve CRO of its obligations hereunder and Sponsor will be limited to acting in a supporting capacity in any such audit.

If not prohibited by any Applicable Laws, Sponsor may be present during, and witness, any such inspection, audit, investigation or regulatory action. CRO will cooperate with the applicable governmental authority in such inspections, audits, and investigations and will maintain the records related to the Project and this Agreement in a way that facilitates such activities.

21. General Right. Upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours, but not more than once in any twelve month period (other than with respect to for cause audits), Sponsor or a third party designated by Sponsor may inspect CRO’s facilities and may audit CRO’s records, excluding accounting records, to the extent such facilities are used with respect to the Project or such records relate to the Project. CRO will make all such records available and will provide reasonable assistance in each such inspection and/or audit. Sponsor’s right to so audit CRO will continue for the retention periods with respect to items retained by CRO.
