For the avoidance of doubt, no rights are granted under this Agreement to use the process for the preparation of an antibody chain under the YNB Patent Licensee shall have the 3 right to sub-licence the non-exclusive licence granted under this clause 2.1(c) with prior written permission of CUTS, and such permission not to be unreasonably withheld. 2.2 CUTS will not manufacture or sell the Licensed Products in the Field exclusively reserved to the Licensee, and will not grant a licence to other parties to use the Patents or Antibodies to make and sell the Licensed Products in the Field exclusively reserved to the Licensee. 2.3 For the avoidance of doubt, CUTS will have the right to grant licences to use the Patents and Antibodies to other parties for commercial purposes outside the Field. 2.4 FORMAL LICENCES. The Parties shall execute such formal licences as may be necessary or appropriate for registration with Patent Offices and other relevant authorities in particular territories. In the event of any conflict in meaning between any such licence and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail wherever possible. Prior to the execution of the formal licence(s) (if any) referred to in Clause 2.4, the Parties shall so far as possible have the same rights and obligations towards one another as if such licence(s) had been granted. The Parties shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that, to the extent permitted by relevant authorities, this Agreement shall not form part of any public record. 2.5 SUB-LICENSING. The Licensee shall be entitled to grant sub-licences of its rights under this Agreement to any person, provided that: (a) the sub-licence shall include obligations on the Sub-Licensee which are equivalent to the obligations on the Licensee under this Agreement and the Sub-Licensee shall be made aware of the obligations under this Agreement; (b) within 30 days of the grant of any sub-licence the Licensee shall provide to CUTS a true copy of it; and (c) the Licensee shall be responsible for any breach of the sub-licence by the Sub-Licensee that is also a breach of this Agreement, as if the breach had been that of Licensee under this Agreement, and the Licensee shall indemnify CUTS against any loss, damages, costs, claims or expenses which are awarded against or suffered by CUTS as a result of any such breach by the Sub-Licensee. 2.6 RESERVATION OF RIGHTS.

The Parties shall cooperate and take all steps reasonably and lawfully available to them, at the expense of CUTS, to avoid deducting such taxes and to obtain double taxation relief. If the Licensee is required to make any such deduction it shall provide CUTS with such certificates or other documents as it can reasonably obtain to enable CUTS to obtain appropriate relief from double taxation of the payment in question; and (d) shall be made by the due date, failing which CUTS may charge interest on any outstanding amount on a daily basis at a rate equivalent to 3% above the Barclays Bank plc base lending rate then in force. 4.7 If at any time during the continuation of this Agreement the Licensee is prohibited from making any of the payments required hereunder by a governmental authority in any country then the Licensee will within the prescribed period for making the said payments in the appropriate manner use its best endeavours to secure from the proper authority in the relevant country permission to make the said payments and will make them within 7 days of receiving such permission. If such permission is not received within 30 (thirty) days of the Licensee making a request for such permission then, at the option of CUTS, the Licensee shall deposit the royalty payments due in the currency of the relevant country either in a bank account designated by CUTS within such country or such royalty payments shall be made to an associated company of CUTS designated by CUTS and having offices in the relevant country designated by CUTS. 4.8 ROYALTY STATEMENTS.

The accountant shall be required to keep confidential all information learnt during any such inspection, and to disclose to CUTS only such details as may be necessary to report on the accuracy of the Licensee's statement or report. CUTS shall be responsible for the accountant's charges unless the accountant certifies that there is an underpayment of more than 5 per cent in any royalty statement, in which case the Licensee shall pay his charges in respect of that inspection. 4.9.3 The Licensee shall ensure that CUTS has the same rights as those set out in this Clause 4.9 in respect of any Sub-Licensee of the Licensee. 4.10 Only one royalty shall be due for each unit of a Licensed Product. As a result, a purchaser of a Licensed Product for which a royalty has been paid shall have the right to use or resell such Licensed Product without the payment of a further royalty under this Agreement. 5. COMMERCIALISATION 5.1 (a) Taking into account the complexity, and stage of development of the Licensed Products, Licensee shall use reasonable commercial efforts under the circumstances to research, develop and then commercialise Licensed Product in the United States, European Union and in other countries of the world in which Licensee can reasonably develop and market Licensed Product. The efforts of a Sub-Licensee and/or an Affiliate and/or a collaborator of Licensee shall be considered as efforts of Licensee. (b) In the event that CUTS reasonably believes that Licensee is not making reasonable commercial efforts under the circumstances to research, develop and then commercialise Licensed Products pursuant to subclause 5.1(a), then CUTS shall provide written notice to Licensee which specifies CUTS' basis for such belief. Upon receipt of such written notice, CUTS and Licensee shall enter into good faith negotiations in order to reach mutual agreement as to what efforts by Licensee shall satisfy the requirements of Clause 5.1(a), and if such mutual agreement is not reached within ninety (90) days after receipt of such written notice, then the Parties agree to submit to arbitration pursuant to Clause 9.14 to determine the efforts which should be exerted by Licensee. Thereafter, Licensee shall exert the efforts determined by the Parties or in such arbitration. (c) If Licensee fails to meet the goals and objectives determined by the Parties or in such arbitration and such failure results from Licensee failing to reasonably attempt to meet such goals and objectives, CUTS' sole and exclusive remedy is for the licences granted hereunder to be terminated which shall take effect sixty (60) days after written notice to Licensee unless prior to expiration of such sixty (60) day period, Licensee provides CUTS with reasonable assurances that such goals and objectives can be met in a reasonable time thereafter. 5.2 Without prejudice to the generality of the Licensee's obligations under Clause 5.1, the Licensee shall provide at least annually to CUTS an updated, written report, showing all past, current and projected activities taken or to be taken by the Licensee to bring Licensed Products to market and after initiating sales in a country, the activities taken to 9 market Licensed Product in such country. CUTS' receipt or approval of any such plan shall not be taken to waive or qualify the Licensee's obligations under Clause 5.1. 6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 6.1 OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN THE PATENTS. (a) Licensee shall file, prosecute and maintain Patents, so as to secure the broadest patent protection reasonably available, through patent counsel selected by Licensee and reasonably acceptable to CUTS who shall consult with CUTS and keep CUTS advised with respect thereto. After the Effective Date of this Agreement, Licensee shall bear the cost and expense for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of Patents in the United States, European Patent Office, and Japan and any other foreign countries designated by Licensee. (b) With respect to any Patents, each patent application, office action, response to office action, request for terminal disclaimer, and request for reissue or reexamination of any patent issuing from such application shall be provided to CUTS. CUTS shall have the right to take any action that in its judgement is necessary to preserve such Patents. (c) CUTS shall and shall cause the inventors and UC to cooperate with Licensee with respect to filing, prosecution and maintenance of Patents. (d) If the Licensee wishes to abandon any such application or not to maintain any such Patent (or to cease funding such application or Patent) it shall give 3 months' prior written notice to CUTS and on the expiry of such notice period the Licensee shall cease to be licensed under the patent application or Patent identified in the notice and shall take all actions necessary to transfer the prosecution and maintenance of such patent application or Patent to CUTS. 6.2 OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN THE YNB PATENT 6.2.1 CUTS shall file, prosecute and maintain the YNB Patent, so as to secure the broadest patent protection reasonably available, through patent counsel selected by CUTS. CUTS shall consult with Licensee and keep Licensee advised with respect thereto. 6.2.2 For the period of time Licensee remains the sole licensee of the YNB Patent, Licensee will pay all fees, costs, and expenses reasonably incurred from the Commencement Date in the prosecution and maintenance of the YNB Patent. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee will not be liable for any costs incurred in relation to prosecuting and/or obtaining allowance of and/or defending claims other than YNB Antibody Claims. 6.2.3 In any country in which CUTS desires patent protection under the YNB Patent but in which Licensee does not desire to pay the expenses thereof under Clause 6.2.2, the Licensee shall give three (3) months prior written notice to CUTS and on the 10 expiry of such notice period the licence granted hereunder will for such country be revoked. 6.2.4 In the event that the YNB Patent is licensed to other parties patent costs pursuant to Clause 6.2.2 will be shared on a pro-rata basis according to the number of licences granted. 6.2.5 For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses associated with the opposition in the European Patent Office with respect to the YNB Patent. 6.3 INFRINGEMENT OF THE PATENTS 6.3.1 Each Party shall inform the other Party promptly if it becomes aware of any infringement or potential infringement of any of the Patents and/or YNB Patent in the Field, and the Parties shall consult with each other to decide the best way to respond to such infringement. 6.3.2 If the Parties fail to agree on a joint program of action within thirty (30) days, including how the costs of any such action are to be borne and how any damages or other sums received from such action are to be distributed, then the Licensee shall be entitled to take action against the third party at its sole expense and it shall reimburse CUTS for any reasonable expenses incurred in assisting it in such action. CUTS shall agree to be joined in any suit to enforce such rights subject to being indemnified and secured in a reasonable manner as to any costs, damages, expenses or other liability awarded against CUTS in such suit and shall have the right to be separately represented by its own counsel at its own expense. If the alleged infringement is both within and outside the Field, the Parties shall also co-operate with CUTS' other licensees (if any) in relation to any such action. 6.3.3 The Licensee shall be entitled to retain any monetary recovery from settlement with third parties after reimbursement of CUTS expenses pursuant to Clause 6.3.2, provided that the Licensee shall pay CUTS a royalty in accordance with Clause 4.3 on any monetary recovery as if such monetary recovery was Net Sales Value, to the extent that such monetary recovery by the Licensee exceeds its reasonable expenses in respect of the protection and enforcement of the Patents and/or YNB Patent within the Field. 6.3.4 In any infringement suit either Party may institute to enforce the rights in Patents and/or YNB Patent pursuant to this Agreement, the other Party hereto shall, at the request and expense of the Party initiating such suit, cooperate in all respects and, to the extent possible, have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like. The Party requesting cooperation shall reimburse the other Party for amounts paid to a third party by such other Party pursuant to such cooperation. 6.4 INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS 6.4.1 If any warning letter or other notice of infringement is received by a Party, or legal suit or other action is brought against a Party, alleging infringement of third party rights in the manufacture, use or sale of any Licensed Product or use of any Patents or use of the YNB 11 Patent or use of any Antibodies or use of any YNB Antibodies, that Party shall promptly provide full details to the other Party, and the Parties shall discuss the best way to respond. 6.4.2 The Licensee shall have the right but not the obligation to defend such suit and shall have the right to settle with such third party, provided that if any action or proposed settlement involves the making of any statement, express or implied, concerning the validity of any Patent or YNB Patent, the consent of CUTS must be obtained before taking such action or making such settlement. 7.

For example purposes only: in a country where there is a valid claim as defined in the clause 4.11, another CD4 antibody product is marketed, but no royalties are owed to third parties the [*******] royalty would be reduced to [*******]. In a country where there is a valid claim as defined in clause 4.11, no other CD4 antibody product is marketed, but royalties are owed to third parties the [*******] royalty would be also reduced to [*******]. In a country where there is a valid claim as defined in clause 4.11, another CD4 antibody product is marketed and royalties are owed to third parties the [*******] royalty would be reduced by [*******] under clause 4.12 and by another [*******] under clause 4.13 whereby the cumulative reduction would be [*******] i.e. [*******] x [*******] x [*******]. 4. With respect to Clauses 2.5, 2.8, 3.3, 4.9.3, and 8.2.3 of the License Agreement, CUTS waives any and all rights thereunder with respect to sublicenses granted under the Genentech Agreement.
