LICENCES AND PATENTS 4.1 BTG grants to the Licensee on and from the Effective Date: 4.1.1 Subject to Clause 5, exclusive licenses under the Patents to make, and have made Products and to use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise dispose of Products so made for therapeutic or preventive use in human healthcare; and 4.1.2 non-exclusive licenses for the purposes set out in Clause 4.1.1 above to use: 4.1.2.1 the Biological Material and the Cell Lines; and 4.1.2.2. the Know-how; and 4.1.2.3 the copyright in the know-how; such licences are without geographical restriction and, subject to the fact that the Patents only relate to some countries, are worldwide, and are sub-licensable. 4.2 BTG shall not use and shall not grant rights to or disclose the Know-how and/or the Biological Material and/or the Cell Lines to any third party during the period from the Effective Date to the date falling ten years after the date when a Product is first put on the market within Europe by the Licensee, any Sub-licensee or any other licensee of BTG as to which BTG has the right, if any, to grant a license under this Agreement. If the Licensee loses exclusivity for the Licences under the Patents pursuant to clauses 5.1 or 5.4 then the restriction on BTG under this clause shall also terminate as regards the relevant territory. 4.3 The restriction referred to in clause 4.2 and the exclusivity of the licences under the Patents shall be qualified by and subject to the right of the Inventors to carry out non-commercial work in relation to the Cell Lines and the Biological Materials (including but not limited to by way of collaborations with third party academic institutions); in the event that such research produces a cell line which produces antibodies with the same specificity as those claimed in the Patents and such cell line and the intellectual property rights related thereto are assigned to BTG then BTG shall notify the Licensee of such assignment and (on written request by the Licensee) such cell line and intellectual property rights shall be licensed 8 to the Licensee hereunder (and form part of the Patents, Know-how, Cell Lines or the Biological Material as appropriate). 4.4 WITHOUT prejudice to Clause 3.2, the Licences are granted for the purpose only of making, having made, using, selling, offering for sale, importing and otherwise disposing of Products during the life of this Agreement. The Licenses shall not be used for any other purpose unless and until the Know-how and the Biological Material and the Cell Lines have come into the public domain otherwise than through breach or default of the Licensee or the copyright in the Know-how has expired. 4.5 BTG shall, at the request and expense of the Licensee, execute any further formal document which may be necessary to give effect to this Agreement in any part of the Territory. Until such licence shall be granted formally, this Agreement shall take effect as a licence. 4.6 At the cost and expense of BTG, BTG shall use its reasonable endeavours to file, prosecute and maintain such of the Patents as it considers, in its sole discretion, appropriate for the purposes of commercialising Products. If BTG desires to allow any of the Patents to lapse, become abandoned or disclaimed, it shall first notify the Licensee of that fact in advance. The Licensee shall have the right, exerciseable by submission of written notice to BTG within 30 days of receipt by the Licensee of BTG's notice and subject to the following payment obligation, to require that BTG continues to file, prosecute and maintain all or any of the Patents for the remaining duration of this Agreement. The Licensee shall indemnify BTG against all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in undertaking such actions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensee shall not be required to pay BTG royalties in respect of Products manufactured or sold in the country the subject of the Patents set out in the notice from BTG of intention to lapse, abandon or disclaim. 4.7 In respect of any country in which the Licenses to the Patents hereunder remain exclusive, if any of the Patents is infringed by a third party, Licensee shall have the right and option but not the obligation to bring an action for infringement, at its sole expense, against such third party in the name of BTG and/or in the name of Licensee, and to join BTG as a party plaintiff if required, provided that the Licensee shall indemnify BTG in respect of any liabilities, costs or expenses that BTG may incur as a result of the same other than those that arise out of any misconduct by BTG. The Licensee shall be obliged to satisfy such indemnity irrespective of whether any damages or other sums are received in respect of the suit. Licensee shall promptly notify BTG of any such infringement and shall consult with, and give good faith reasonable consideration to BTG's requirements BTG in relation to the prosecution of any action for such infringement. Any recovery of damages by Licensee for any such suit shall be applied first in satisfaction of any unreimbursed expenses and legal fees of Licensee relating to the suit. If requested by BTG, the Licensee shall provide BTG with evidence of the Licensee having incurred such deducted costs and expenses. The balance remaining from any such recovery shall be considered as Net Selling Price of Product subject to royalties under Clause 7.1. In the event that Licensee is unwilling, within a reasonably timely fashion to pursue an action for infringement, upon written notice to BTG by Licensee that an unlicensed third party is an infringer of a Patent, BTG shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, at BTG's cost and expense, to initiate infringement litigation and to retain any recovered damages. 9 In any infringement suit, subject to this clause 4.7, if either party institutes to enforce Patents pursuant to this Agreement, the other party hereto shall, at the request of the party initiating such suit, cooperate in all reasonable respects and, to the extent possible, on receipt of reasonable notice, have its employees testify when requested and, so far as it is free to do so, make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like. 5. EXCLUSIVITY 5.1 BTG may at any time terminate the exclusivity of the Licences by giving sixty (60) days written notice to the Licensee if the grant and continuation of an exclusive Licence in the Territory would be contrary or a violation of applicable anti-trust or competition law PROVIDED THAT if the ground for termination referred to herein only relates to a particular country in the Territory, then BTG's right under this Clause 5.1 shall be restricted to that country. 5.2 IT is hereby declared that BTG has agreed to grant exclusivity in respect of the Licences under the Patents on the basis that the parties consider that this Agreement is concerned with the introduction and protection of a new technology, and by reason of the scale of research that needs to be undertaken and of the risk that is involved in manufacturing and marketing a product which is unfamiliar to users at the Effective Date. 5.3 IF the Commission of the European Communities withdraws the benefit of its Regulation 240/96, or that Regulation expires and is not replaced by another Regulation of similar or equivalent effect, the Licences shall forthwith become non-exclusive in Europe, except for such measure of exclusivity as the parties may then agree to be appropriate, taking into account the provisions of Article 81(3) of the Treaty of Rome. 5.4 Subject to receipt of notification pursuant to clause 7.13, BTG may at any time terminate the exclusivity of the Licences in any country by giving the Licensee five days (5) written notice to that effect. Such Licenses shall include the right to Sub-licence and shall be non-exclusive but otherwise on the terms hereof. 5.5 In the event that the Licenses become non-exclusive in whole or in part pursuant to Clause 5.1 and/or 5.3, then BTG will not grant any licenses with respect to the Patents and/or Biological Material and/or Cell Lines and/or the Know-how and/or the copyright in the Know-how except and only to the extent that is required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation. 5.6 In the event that the exclusivity of the License is terminated under Section 5.1 or 5.3 then following the date of the first commercial sale in any country (by a third party licensee of the Patents other than by or on behalf of the Licensee or any Sub-licensee) of a Product in Final Form following the granting of a Product Licence in that country, the royalty rate solely in respect of the manufacture or sale of Products in that country shall be reduced to [*************] but in no event shall Licensee be paying a royalty greater than any third party granted a license under Patents. * Confidential treatment requested: material has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. 10 6. KNOW-HOW 6.1 THE Licensee shall arrange and pay the costs of and be responsible for, copying, shipment to the Licensee and storage of the Know-how and/or the Biological Material and/or the Cell Lines and such shipment and storage shall be at the Licensee's risk. 6.2 Subject to Clause 6.3, the Licensee shall, by using at least the same degree of care which it uses with respect to its own information and material of a similar nature, keep the Know-how, disclosed in writing by BTG and designated in writing by BTG as confidential, and/or the Biological Material and/or the Cell Lines confidential to the Licensee, and to such of its officers and employees and (subject to clause 6.3 and solely in respect of the know-how but not Biological Materials or Cell Lines) its consultants and advisors, as are, in each case, bound by obligations of confidence and need to be informed for the purposes of this Agreement, and shall ensure that the know-how and/or the Biological Material and/or the Cell Lines are not disclosed to others orally or in writing or by any act of transfer, save to the extent that the know-how and/or the Biological Material and the Cell Lines: 6.2.1 as evidenced by the Licensee's written, records, were lawfully known to or lawfully possessed by the Licensee prior to its communication or transfer by or through BTG and were not communicated to or supplied to the Licensee subject to any restrictions on disclosure or use PROVIDED THAT this exemption shall not be applicable in respect of any know-how and/or Biological Material and/or Cell Lines communicated or disclosed (directly or indirectly) by any or all of the Inventors to the Licensee; or 6.2.2 is necessarily disclosed by the sale of Products embodying any of the know-how; or 6.2.3 is or becomes in the public domain, otherwise than by any default of the Licensee, or persons acquiring the same from the Licensee; or 6.2.4 as evidenced by the Licensee's written records, becomes known to or in the possession of the Licensee by the action of a third party not in breach of any obligation of confidence PROVIDED THAT this exemption shall not be applicable in respect of any know-how and/or Biological Material and/or Cell Lines communicated or supplied (directly or indirectly) by any or all of the Inventors to the Licensee. Without limiting the effect of this clause, a combination of parts of the know-how shall not be deemed to be in the public domain by reason only that each separate part is in the public domain. IT is acknowledged by the Parties that, from time to time, the Inventors may act as consultants to the Company and to such extent, the Company may disclose Biological Materials and/or Cell Lines and/or know-how to the relevant Inventors, provided that they are bound by obligations of confidence no less onerous than those contained in clause 6.2 above in respect of the same. 11 6.3 Licensee shall have the right to disclose and permit a third party to use the Know-how and/or the Biological Material and/or the Cell Lines in pursuing and/or exercising the rights granted to Licensee under the Agreement provided that such third party agrees to confidentiality obligations no less onerous than those of Clause 6.2 and where necessary subject to the terms of a Sub-licence. 6.4 During the term of this Agreement, it is contemplated that Licensee will disclose to BTG written confidential information that is owned or controlled by Licensee or that Licensee is obligated to maintain in confidence ("Confidential Information"). BTG agrees to retain Licensee's Confidential Information disclosed to it in writing and marked as confidential in confidence and not to disclose any such Confidential Information to a third party without the prior written consent of Licensee and to use the confidential Information only for the purposes of this Agreement. The obligations of confidentiality of this clause 6.4 will not apply to Confidential Information that: (i) was known or generally known to the public prior to its disclosure hereunder; or (ii) subsequently becomes known to the public by some means other than a breach of this Agreement; (iii) is subsequently disclosed to the receiving party by a third party without a breach of an obligation of confidentiality to Licensee; or (iv) is independently developed by the employees or agents of BTG without any knowledge of the Confidential Information provided Licensee; or (v) is already lawfully known to or lawfully possessed by BTG prior to its communication by the Licensee and was not supplied to BTG subject to any restrictions on disclosure or use; or (vi) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any law, order of a court of competent jurisdiction or rules of any competent regulator. 6.5 The obligations of non-use and confidentiality of this Article 6 shall terminate five (5) years after termination of this Agreement. 7. ROYALTIES 7.1 SUBJECT to Clauses 4.6, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.13 below, the Licensee shall pay to BTG in respect of Products that are Products as a result of Clause 1.1.25(i) and are the subject of Chargeable Transactions and as provided in Clause 17.2 on such Products held on termination, a royalty at the rate of [*******] on the Net Selling Price. 7.2 IF, in respect of any Chargeable Transaction all of the following apply: 7.2.1 the Licensee is also paying patent royalties to a third party/third parties; and * Confidential treatment requested: material has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. 12 7.2.2 that the third party/parties (as the case may be) is not/are not a Connected Person(s) of the Licensee; and 7.2.3 such patent royalties are paid under an arm's length BONA FIDE licence; and 7.2.4 those patent royalties are for rights to patents which are deemed by the Licensee (acting reasonably) to be required for the commercialisation, manufacture or sale of the Products in question; 7.2.5 the sum of such patent royalties with all of the characteristics set out in 7.2.1 to 7.2.4 above and the royalties payable to BTG under Clause 7.1 above would in total ("the Total Royalty") amount to more than [*******] on the Net Selling Price for that Chargeable Transaction ("the Cut-off Royalty"), then the royalty to be paid to BTG on that Chargeable Transaction shall be reduced by one half of the amount that the Total Royalty exceeds the Cut-off Royalty provided that in no event shall the royalty payable to BTG be reduced under this Clause 7.2 below [*******] on the Net Selling Price for the relevant Chargeable Transaction. (By way of illustration if the Total Royalties equal [*******] then the royalty payable to BTG would be [*******]. If requested by BTG the Licensee shall promptly provide to BTG: (i) a copy of the relevant licence agreements supporting its requirement to pay royalties to third parties; and (ii) evidence that the conditions set out in clauses 7.2.1, 7.2.2, 7.2.3 and 7.2.4 have been fulfilled. FOR the avoidance of doubt, the right of set-off of Third Party Royalties under this clause 7.2 shall only apply to royalties payable under clause 7.1 and not to any other amount payable under this Agreement (including but not limited to the payments under clause 2 or the minimum payments to BTG pursuant to clause 7.3). 7.3 IF the aggregate royalty payments due to be paid by the Licensee hereunder to BTG in respect of any of the following calendar years are less than the minimum sums set out below for that year, then the Licensee shall pay BTG the amount by which the actual royalties payable fall short of the relevant minimum sum as follows:
Period Minimum Sum -------------------------------------------------------------- The 12 month period starting on [*******] January 1st in the next calendar year immediately following the Launch Date ("Year 1"). -------------------------------------------------------------- The 12 month period immediately [*******] following the end of Year 1 ("Year 2") -------------------------------------------------------------- The 12 month period immediately [*******] following the end of Year 2 ("Year 2")

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence with respect to any such payments received with respect to a milestone for a Product that the manufacture, use or sale of which does not, at the time of payment, infringe a claim of a patent application or patent that is a Stealth Patent, Licensee shall pay BTG [*******] of any such milestone payment. For the purposes of this clause 7.6, the following shall be excluded: (a) royalties; and (b) amounts received in respect of the research and/or development of the Product, provided that such sums are actually expended by or on behalf of the Licensee on such research and/or development within twenty-four (24) months of receipt. In order to exclude any payment in accordance with (a) or (b) above, if requested by BTG; the Licensee shall provide evidence to BTG's reasonable satisfaction that the payments fall in either category. For the purposes of this Clause 7.6 monies paid for securities of Licensee shall be excluded to the extent that such payment does not exceed the fair market value of the securities. IN addition if Licensee receives non-cash consideration under a Sub-license the fair market value of the non-cash consideration shall be subject to the payment provisions of this Clause 7.6.1. 7.7 THE Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Licensee (or by any Connected Person of the Licensee or Sub-licensee) of each of each lump sum payment and non cash consideration notify BTG of and provide full details of each such lump sum payment and non-cash consideration.
