(a) Reports. Within [***] days after the conclusion of each Calendar Quarter commencing with the first Calendar Quarter in which Net Sales are generated, Pieris shall deliver to Enumeral a report containing the following information (in each instance, on a Product-by-Product basis):

(i) the amount of Products sold, leased or otherwise transferred or performed by Pieris, its Affiliates and Sublicensees for the applicable Calendar Quarter;

(ii) the gross amount billed or invoiced for Products sold, leased or otherwise transferred or performed by Pieris, its Affiliates and Sublicensees during the applicable Calendar Quarter;

(iii) a calculation of Net Sales for the applicable Calendar Quarter;

(v) the total amount payable to Enumeral in U.S. Dollars on Net Sales for the applicable Calendar Quarter, together with the exchange rates used for conversion.

Each such quarterly report shall be certified on behalf of Pieris by its chief financial officer as true, correct and complete in all material respects. If no amounts are due to Enumeral for a particular Calendar Quarter, the report shall so state. To the extent that any of the information described in this Section 5.1(a) is not received from a Sublicensee, Pieris shall not be required to provide such information to Enumeral but shall take actions to obtain such information.

(b) Payment. Within the later of (i) [***] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter and (ii) [***] days after the end of each Quarter with respect to any payment from any Sublicensee, Pieris shall pay Enumeral all amounts due with respect to Net Sales for the applicable Calendar Quarter.

5.2. Payment Currency. All payments due under this Agreement will be paid in U.S. Dollars. Conversion of foreign currency to U.S. Dollars will be made at the conversion rate existing in the United States (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) on the last working day of the applicable Calendar Quarter. Such payments will be without deduction of exchange, collection or other charges.

5.3. Records.

Pieris and its Affiliates, as applicable, shall retain such records relating to a given Calendar Quarter for at least [***]

Page 10 of 28

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

years after the conclusion of that Calendar Quarter, during which time Enumeral will have the right, at its expense, to cause an independent, certified public accountant to inspect such records of Pieris during normal business hours for the purposes of verifying the accuracy of any reports and payments delivered under this Agreement and Pieris’ compliance with the terms hereof. Such accountant or other auditor, as applicable, shall not disclose to Enumeral any information other than information relating to the accuracy of reports and payments delivered under this Agreement. The Parties shall reconcile any underpayment or overpayment within [***] days after the accountant delivers the results of the audit. If any audit performed under this Section 5.3 reveals an underpayment in excess of [***] in any calendar year, Pieris shall reimburse Enumeral for all amounts incurred in connection with such audit. For avoidance of doubt, Enumeral shall not have the right to audit or inspect Sublicensee(s) directly but may audit or inspect any applicable materials received from Sublicensee and in the possession of Pieris. Pieris, however, shall audit Sublicensees and require royalty and milestone reports in connection with any Sublicense. Enumeral may exercise its rights under this Section 5.3 only once every 12-month period and only with reasonable prior notice.

5.4. Late Payments. Any payments by Pieris that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement will bear interest at [***] percent ([***]%) per month. Interest will accrue beginning on the first day following the due date for payment and will be compounded quarterly. Payment of such interest by Pieris shall not limit, in any way, Enumeral’s right to exercise any other remedies Enumeral may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

5.5. Payment Method. Each payment due to Enumeral under this Agreement shall be paid by check or wire transfer of funds to Enumeral’s account in accordance with written instructions provided by Enumeral. If made by wire transfer, such payments shall be marked so as to refer to this Agreement.

5.6. Withholding and Similar Taxes. If Pieris is required to withhold any amounts payable hereunder to Enumeral due to the applicable laws of any country, such amount will be deducted from the payment to be made by Pieris and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority for the benefit of Enumeral. Pieris will withhold only such amounts as are required to be withheld by applicable law in the country from which payment is being made. Pieris shall submit to Enumeral originals of the remittance voucher and the official receipt evidencing the payment of the corresponding taxes with the applicable royalty report. Pieris will cooperate with Enumeral to provide such information and records as Enumeral may require in connection with any application by Enumeral to the tax authorities in any country, including attempt to obtain an exemption or a credit for any withholding tax paid in any country.

6. Intellectual Property.

6.1 Product Intellectual Property. Pieris shall have the right to file patent applications on inventions developed by, at the direction of, or under the sponsorship of Pieris (including but not limited to inventions conceived or reduced to practice by Pieris employees, contractors, consultants, and/or Sublicenses) related to any Product, materials, processes or other intellectual property generated under this Agreement including any manufacture,

Without limiting the foregoing, if Pieris files patent application and/or obtains a patent containing a claim or claims directed to a Modification (other than a Modification fused with or linked to an Anticalin), whether singly or one or more of many claims under a broader patent, then it (or such claims, as the case may be) shall be part of the Grantback IP licensed hereunder, including but not limited to a composition of matter and method of use or manufacture, and any vectors or host cells related thereto.

7. Liability and Indemnification.

7.1 Indemnity by Enumeral. Enumeral shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Pieris, its Affiliates, their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, the “Pieris Indemnitees”) from and against all liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) (collectively, “Losses”) (i) incurred by or imposed upon the Pieris Indemnitees, or any of them, as a result of any claim by MIT, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, the General Hospital Corporation (d/b/a Massachusetts General Hospital), the President and Fellows of Harvard College, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (collectively the “MIT Agreement Parties”) in connection with any agreement between the MIT Agreement Parties and Enumeral, or (ii) incurred by or imposed upon the Pieris Indemnitees, or any of them, as a direct result of claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments of Third Parties arising out of or resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties hereunder (collectively, the “Pieris Indemnity Claims”).

Page 17 of 28

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

written instrument delivered to the non-assigning Party to this Agreement, on or before the date of closing of such transaction, to fully perform all of the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement.

Pieris and Enumeral Form 8-K Filings

Pieris Form 8-K Disclosure:

On April 18, 2016, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) and Pieris Pharmaceuticals GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (together with the Company, “Pieris”), entered into a license and transfer agreement (the “Agreement”) with Enumeral Biomedical Holdings, Inc. (“Enumeral”), pursuant to which Pieris acquired a non-exclusive (except in the exclusive field described below) worldwide license to use specified patent rights and know-how owned by Enumeral to research, develop and market fusion proteins consisting of PD-1 antibodies linked to one or more Anticalin proteins for use in the oncology area. Enumeral also agreed not to practice or assist third parties in practicing in the exclusive field, consisting of licensed antibodies fused to Anticalin proteins in the oncology area.

Under the Agreement, Pieris agreed to pay Enumeral an upfront license fee of $250,000 and, on May 31, 2016, a $750,000 maintenance fee. Under the initial license, Pieris also agreed to pay to Enumeral development milestones of up to an aggregate of $37.8 million for all products and indications and sales milestones of up to an aggregate of $67.5 million for all products and indications. Pieris also agreed to pay Enumeral royalties within a range in the low to lower-middle single digits as a percentage of net sales depending on the amount of net sales in the applicable years. In the event that Pieris is required to pay a license fee or royalty to any third party related to the licensed products, the royalty payment due to Enumeral shall be reduced by the amount of such third party fees or payments, up to 50% of the royalty payment for each calendar year due to Enumeral.

Under the Agreement, Pieris has an option for twelve months after the date of the Agreement to license from Enumeral one of a specified set of antibodies owned by Enumeral for use in developing such fusion Anticalin proteins for use in the oncology area. If Pieris licenses an additional antibody pursuant to the option described above, Pieris must pay to Enumeral an additional undisclosed upfront payment, and any resulting fusion protein products will be subject to additional royalties and development and sales milestones in the same amounts applicable to the fusion proteins linking PD-1 and Anticalins under the initial license.

The term of the Agreement ends upon the expiration of the last to expire patent covered under the license. The Agreement may be terminated by Pieris on 30 days’ notice and by Enumeral upon 60 days’ notice of a material breach by Pieris (or 30 days with respect to a breach of payment obligations by Pieris), provided that Pieris has not cured such breach and dispute resolution procedures specified in the Agreement have been followed. The Agreement will also automatically terminate if Pieris elects to not make the maintenance fee payment described above.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which Pieris intends to file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement, Pieris is licensing from Enumeral specified intellectual property related to Enumeral’s anti-PD-1 antibody program ENUM 388D4 for the potential development and commercialization by Pieris of novel multispecific therapeutic proteins comprising fusion proteins based on Pieris’ Anticalins^® class of therapeutic proteins and Enumeral antibodies in the field of oncology.

Under the License Agreement, Pieris has agreed to pay Enumeral a $250,000 initial license fee, and Enumeral is providing Pieris with sequence and related information for Enumeral’s 388D4 family of anti-PD-1 antibodies. The License Agreement provides that Pieris may continue the license by paying Enumeral an additional maintenance fee in the amount of $750,000 by May 31, 2016. In the event that Pieris does not pay this maintenance fee by May 31, 2016, the License Agreement expires and the license granted thereunder automatically terminates.

If Pieris elects to continue the license and pays Enumeral the maintenance fee, the License Agreement provides that Pieris shall also receive an exclusive twelve-month option to license Enumeral intellectual property related to an additional antibody program on the same terms and conditions as for the ENUM 388D4 family of anti-PD-1 antibodies (the “Subsequent Option”). The antibody subject to the Subsequent Option will be selected by Pieris from a specified list of antibodies owned by Enumeral. In the event that Pieris exercises the Subsequent Option, Pieris will pay Enumeral an additional undisclosed license fee.

The terms of the License Agreement provide for Pieris to pay Enumeral development milestones of up to an aggregate of $37.8 million upon the achievement of specified events, as well as net sales milestone payments of up to an aggregate of $67.5 million upon the achievement of specified net sales thresholds.

“We are excited that Pieris has decided to work with our antibody sequences, and we are encouraged that these sequences could become part of a novel class of therapeutic based on Pieris’ Anticalin platform,” said Cokey Nguyen, Ph.D., Enumeral’s Vice President of Research and Development. “Enumeral has been able to generate antibodies using our proprietary platform technology in a very efficient manner, and this transaction is further validation for the Enumeral approach. We look forward to working with Pieris as we pursue our mutual interests under the License Agreement.”

“Gaining access to Enumeral’s valuable PD-1 antibody IP not only enables Pieris to leverage its antibody-Anticalin multispecifics capabilities with a cornerstone immune checkpoint inhibitor, but also brings a high level of intra-pipeline synergy, including with Pieris’ lead CD137 bispecific immune costimulator candidate PRS-343,” commented Pieris President and CEO, Stephen S. Yoder. “This license gives Pieris an opportunity to independently develop anti-PD-1 antibody-Anticalin multispecific immune checkpoint inhibitors as next generation cancer immunotherapeutics.”
