"Company") agree as follows:
1. Services and Payment. Consultant agrees to consult with and advise Theravance Biopharma from time to time, up to five (5)
hours per week, at Theravance Biopharma's request ("Services"). Services and the compensation related thereto to be
provided hereunder are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Consultant shall also be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable
expenses such as costs for hotel, transportation and meals incurred in connection with the Services and which Consultant has received
prior approval from Theravance within thirty (30) days of Consultant's submission of receipts thereof.
2. Ownership of Inventions. Theravance Biopharma shall own all legal right, title and interest (including patent rights, copyrights,
trade secret rights, trademark rights and all other rights of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions (whether
or not patentable), including without limitation, discoveries, compositions of matter, pharmaceutical formulations, methods of use, methods
of making, techniques, processes, formulas, improvements, works of authorship, designations, designs, know-how, ideas and information
made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by Consultant (solely or jointly with others) during the term of this Agreement
that arise out of or relate to the Services or any Proprietary Information (as defined below) (collectively, "Inventions").
Consultant hereby does assign all Inventions to Theravance Biopharma and agrees to promptly disclose and provide all such Inventions to
Theravance Biopharma. Consultant shall further assist Theravance Biopharma, at Theravance Biopharma's expense, to further evidence,
record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights assigned throughout the world. Such
assistance may include, but is not limited to, execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings. Consultant hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints Theravance Biopharma as Consultant's agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on Consultant's
behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the foregoing with the same legal force
and effect as if executed by Consultant. When requested by Theravance Biopharma, Consultant will make available to Theravance Biopharma
all notes, data and other information relating to any Invention.
3. Proprietary Information. Consultant agrees that all Inventions and other business, technical and financial information concerning
Theravance Biopharma (including, without limitation, the identity of and information relating to employees, vendors and service providers
of Theravance Biopharma and its affiliates) that Consultant develops, learns or obtains during the term of this Agreement or while Consultant
is providing Services constitute "Proprietary Information." Consultant will hold in confidence and not disclose or make available
to third parties or make use of any Proprietary Information except with the prior written consent of Theravance Biopharma or to the extent
necessary in performing Services for Theravance Biopharma. However, Consultant shall not be obligated under this paragraph with respect
to information Consultant can document (i) is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of Consultant,
or (ii) that Consultant knew without restriction prior to its disclosure by Theravance Biopharma. Upon termination of this Agreement
or as otherwise requested by Theravance Biopharma, Consultant will promptly return to Theravance Biopharma all documents, materials and

to the Services and (ii) this Agreement.
As additional protection for Proprietary Information, Consultant agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for one year

from an employee of Theravance Biopharma seeking employment opportunities outside of Theravance Biopharma, it will not be a breach

to any other remedies. The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be
construed as a waiver of such rights.
