THIS AMENDMENT NO. 4 (the “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of August 7, 2025 (the “Amendment No. 4 Effective Date”), by and between Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the law of Delaware and having its principal place of business at 85 Wells Ave., 2nd floor Newton, MA 02459 (“Licensor”) and Berlin-Chemie AG, a corporation organized and existing under the law of Germany and having its principal place of business at Glienicker Weg 125, 12489 Berlin, Germany (“Licensee”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the License Agreement (as defined herein).

WHEREAS, on December 17, 2021, the Parties entered into that certain License Agreement, as amended by that Amendment No. 1 on May 19, 2022, Amendment No. 2 on March 14, 2023, and Amendment No. 3 on March 4, 2025 (collectively, the “License Agreement”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

The Parties acknowledge that such amount is equal to the actualized value of the sales performance milestone payment originally established under Section 7.3.1 and has been calculated on the basis of a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) methodology expressly agreed by both Parties.

2.
As of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, the License Agreement and this Amendment shall be read and construed together as a single agreement, and any and all references in the License Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “herein”, “hereof” or words of like referring to the License Agreement shall be deemed a reference to the License Agreement as amended by this Amendment.
