(i) Payment. PFIZER shall pay to COLEY the applicable Regulatory Event Milestone Payments on or prior to the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the occurrence of the applicable Regulatory Event and will identify whether the ProMune Product for which the Regulatory Milestone Event Payment is due is a Product, Combination Product or Vaccine Product.

 

(ii) Limitations. Each of PFIZER and COLEY acknowledge and agree that:

 

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all ProMune Products for any single Tumor Type shall be treated as if they were a single ProMune Product for purposes of calculating the amount of any Regulatory Event Milestone Payments payable by PFIZER to COLEY and, therefore, subject to Section 5.1(d)(ii)(B) below, any Regulatory Event Milestone Payment payable upon satisfaction in full of a given Regulatory Event shall only be paid once for any single Tumor Type, regardless of how many ProMune Products satisfy such Regulatory Event within such Tumor Type.

 

(B) With respect to all ProMune Products for a single Tumor Type that satisfy in full a Regulatory Event: (x) the aggregate Regulatory Event Milestone Payments for all such ProMune Products for any one Regulatory Event that PFIZER shall pay to COLEY shall not exceed the amount payable for a Major Indication for the applicable Regulatory Event; and (y) if PFIZER satisfies in full a Regulatory Event for an Intermediate Indication for such Tumor Type prior to satisfying in full a Regulatory Event for a Major Indication for the same Tumor Type, the Regulatory Event Milestone Payment that shall be payable as a result of the satisfaction in full of such Regulatory Event for the Major Indication shall be equal to the difference between (A) the amount of the Regulatory Event Milestone Payment payable with respect to the satisfaction in full of such Regulatory Event for the Major Indication and (B) the amount of the Regulatory Event Milestone Payment previously paid with respect to the satisfaction in full of such Regulatory Event for the Intermediate Indication.

 

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Minor Indications for all ProMune Products shall be treated as if they were a single ProMune Product for purposes of calculating the amount of any Regulatory Event Milestone Payments payable by PFIZER to COLEY and, therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate maximum amount of Regulatory Event Milestone Payments that PFIZER shall pay to COLEY for the satisfaction in full of all Regulatory Events with respect to all Minor Indications shall be [************************** ******************************************]

(D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the aggregate maximum amount of Regulatory Event Milestone Payments that PFIZER shall pay to COLEY for the satisfaction in full of all Regulatory Events in all Indications for all ProMune Products shall be [*********************************************** *********************] (the “Milestone Ceiling”). Following the payment by PFIZER to COLEY of Regulatory Event Milestone Payments for all ProMune Products that, in the aggregate, equal the Milestone Ceiling, PFIZER shall have no further payment obligations to COLEY under Section 5.1(d). For the avoidance of doubt, the Milestone Ceiling amount is exclusive of (i) the Event Milestone Payments set forth in Sections 5.1(a), (b) and (c) (ii) the Research Milestone Payments set forth in Section 5.1 (e) and (iii) the Commercial Milestone Payment (as defined in Section 5.2 below).

 

(iii) Skipped Milestone Payments. If any of Regulatory Events (1), (2) or (3) as specified in the table in Section 5.1(d) for a given Indication and ProMune Product is achieved without triggering an Event Milestone Payment pursuant to Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c) for the same Indication and the same ProMune Product (each, a “Skipped ProMune Milestone Payment”), then PFIZER shall pay to COLEY both the Skipped ProMune Milestone Payment and the Regulatory Event Milestone Payment on the date that such Regulatory Event Milestone Payment is due.

 

(e) Research Milestone Payments In addition to the payments outlined in Sections 5.1(a) through (d), PFIZER shall pay to COLEY the following amounts pursuant to this Section 5.1(e) with respect to each of the Research Compounds (collectively, the “Research Compound Milestone Payments”) upon satisfaction in full of the applicable events described under the column titled “Research Regulatory Events” (each a “Research Regulatory Event”). The Research Compound Milestone Payments shall only be paid once per Research Compound per Research Regulatory Event, without regard to the Indication, number of Indications for which such Licensed Product containing the Research Compound is approved or whether a Research Product, Research Combination Product or Research Vaccine Product is involved. PFIZER shall pay to COLEY the Research Compound Milestone Payments pursuant to this Section 5.1(e) even if the Milestone Ceiling set forth in Section 5.1(d)(ii)(D) has been met.

COLEY, by independent qualified public accountants employed by COLEY and reasonably acceptable to PFIZER, to examine such books and records at any reasonable time upon reasonable notice, but not later than three (3) years following the rendering of any corresponding reports, accountings and payments pursuant to Section 6.3. The foregoing right of examination may be exercised only once during any twelve (12)-month period. If any such examination shows an underpayment of more than five percent (5%) of the amount due for any applicable period, COLEY shall have the right, by independent qualified public accountants employed by COLEY and reasonably acceptable to PFIZER, to conduct an additional examination of the sales and royalty books and records to determine if the cause of the underpayment has been corrected. Any such examination shall be in addition to COLEY’s annual right to examine such books and records and must be conducted during the twelve (12)-month period immediately following the completion of the examination which identified the underpayment of more than five percent (5%). Such accountants may be required by PFIZER to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement, and in no event shall such accountants disclose to COLEY any information, other than such information as relates to the accuracy of reports and payments made or due hereunder. The opinion of such accountants regarding such reports, accountings and payments shall be binding on the parties, other than in the case of manifest error. COLEY shall bear the cost of any such examination; provided that if the examination shows an underpayment of Royalty Payments of more than five percent (5%) of the amount due for the applicable period, then PFIZER shall promptly reimburse COLEY for all costs incurred in connection with such examination. PFIZER shall promptly pay to COLEY the amount of any underpayment of Royalty Payments (plus interest as provided in Section 6.4 above) revealed by an examination and review. Any overpayment of Royalty Payments by PFIZER revealed by an examination shall be fully creditable against future Royalty Payments due under Section 5.3.

 

6.6 Tax Matters. It is understood and agreed between the parties that any milestone payments made pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2 of this Agreement are inclusive of any value added tax imposed upon such payments. In addition, if any of the payments made by PFIZER pursuant to Section 5 become subject to withholding taxes under the Laws of any jurisdiction, PFIZER shall deduct and withhold the amount of such taxes for the account of COLEY to the extent required by Law, all such amounts payable to COLEY shall be reduced by the amount of taxes deducted and withheld, and PFIZER shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to COLEY an official tax certificate or other evidence of such tax obligations, together with proof of payment from the relevant Governmental Authority of all amounts deducted and withheld sufficient to enable COLEY to claim such payment of taxes. If any such withholding tax shall become payable as a result of an assignment by either party (as permitted by Section 15.7), then the assigning party shall promptly notify the other party of such assignment. COLEY shall provide to PFIZER any tax forms (including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 and W-8BEN) that may be reasonably necessary in order for PFIZER to not withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. COLEY shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to PFIZER at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for any payment for which COLEY desires that PFIZER apply a reduced withholding tax rate. Any such withholding taxes required under applicable Law to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by, COLEY. PFIZER will provide COLEY with reasonable assistance to enable COLEY to recover such taxes as permitted by Law.

Section 7. PATENTS AND INFRINGEMENT.

 

7.1 Filing and Prosecution of Patents. COLEY and PFIZER shall cooperate in connection with the continued prosecution and maintenance by COLEY of the patents under the Coley Patent Rights applicable to the Field, with COLEY having responsibility for such activities. [********************************************************************************************* *******************************************************]. If PFIZER desires that COLEY file any application for a patent on improvements and variations upon inventions disclosed in the patents under the Coley Patent Rights applicable to the Field or otherwise relating to the Compound, any Research Compound or any Licensed Product, PFIZER shall advise COLEY of such improvements, variations or inventions. Provided that COLEY has no reasonable objection thereto, COLEY shall thereupon file patent applications as requested, and PFIZER shall pay reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees for outside patent counsel, for filing and prosecuting such requested patent applications. COLEY shall consult PFIZER and keep PFIZER informed of all material matters relating to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Coley Patent Rights applicable to the Field, including, without limitation, any matters relating to the matter set forth on Schedule 10.1(a)(ii). In addition, COLEY shall provide PFIZER with copies of all material correspondence with all applicable patent offices in such a manner as to allow PFIZER a meaningful opportunity to comment, and PFIZER shall have reasonable access to all documentation, filings and communications to or from the applicable patent offices. COLEY, its agents and its attorneys shall give due consideration to all suggestions and comments of PFIZER regarding any aspect of such patent preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance. In addition, COLEY shall take all necessary steps to maintain for the full life thereof all patents under the Coley Patent Rights applicable to the Field. With respect to reasonable out-of-pocket costs in connection with the prosecution and maintenance of the Coley Patent Rights applicable to the Field, PFIZER shall pay [****] of such costs for those patents listed in Section I of Exhibit A attached hereto and [****] of such costs for all other Coley Patent Rights applicable to the Field. In addition, if, at any time, COLEY licenses or otherwise transfers to a Third Party any Rejected Program ODN (as defined in the Screening and Evaluation Agreement) or any Rejected Candidate ODN (as defined in the Screening and Evaluation Agreement), COLEY shall reimburse PFIZER for [****] of PFIZER’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by PFIZER in connection with the prosecution, filing and maintenance of the Coley Patent Rights that relate to the Rejected Program ODN Patent Rights (as defined in the Screening and Evaluation Agreement) and Rejected Candidate ODN Patent Rights (as defined in the Screening and Evaluation Agreement), as applicable. Prosecution of the Coley Patent Rights includes all activities before patent offices throughout the world and appeals therefrom.

 

7.2 Maintenance of Patents. COLEY agrees that it will, and will cause its Affiliates to, (i) execute and file those notices and other filings as PFIZER shall request be made, from time to time with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (or any successor agency) with respect to the rights granted under this Agreement, (ii) maintain at all times during the term of this Agreement the rights to the Coley Patent Rights and the Coley Technology, necessary and sufficient to perform COLEY’s obligations under this Agreement; free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, charges, security interests, mortgages, liabilities or grants of license to Third Parties or other restrictions, and (iii) as a condition to any transfer of any Coley Patent Rights applicable to the Field or Coley Technology applicable to the Field on and after the date hereof to

46


any Affiliate (to the extent permitted in this Agreement), require such Affiliate to be obligated to perform all of COLEY’s obligations relating to the transferred Coley Patent Rights applicable to the Field or Coley Technology applicable to the Field under this Agreement as if it were a party hereto.

 

7.3 Patent Term Extensions. PFIZER shall have the right to designate and to seek, or have COLEY seek, at PFIZER’s expense, patent term extensions or supplemental patent protection in any country in the Territory with respect to the Coley Patent Rights relating to the Licensed Products.

 

7.4 Interpretation of Patent Judgments. If any claim relating to a patent under the Coley Patent Rights becomes in any country the subject of a judgment, decree or decision of a court, tribunal, or other authority of competent jurisdiction, which judgment, decree, or decision is or becomes final (there being no further right of review) and adjudicates the validity, enforceability, scope, or infringement of the same, the construction of such claim in such judgment, decree or decision shall be followed thereafter in such country in determining whether a product is licensed hereunder, not only as to such claim but also as to all other claims in the Territory to which such construction reasonably applies. If at any time there are in any country two or more conflicting final judgments, decrees, or decisions with respect to the same claim, the decision of the higher tribunal shall thereafter control in such country, but if the tribunal be of equal rank, then the final judgment, decree, or decision more favorable to such claim shall control unless and until the majority of such tribunals of equal rank adopt or follow a less favorable final judgment, decree, or decision, in which event the latter shall control.

 

7.5 Infringement Actions.

 

(a) COLEY and PFIZER shall promptly notify each other of any infringement of or unauthorized use of any Coley Patent Rights in the Field or Coley Technology in the Field which may come to their attention to the extent that such infringement or unauthorized use relates to the Compound, any Research Compound or any Licensed Product. Subject to Section 7.5(b) below, PFIZER has the exclusive right, at its sole discretion and expense, to elect to undertake legal action with respect to any such infringement or unauthorized use or bring suit against any such infringer or unauthorized user. Any suit by PFIZER shall be either in the name of PFIZER, the name of COLEY, or jointly by PFIZER and COLEY, as may be required by the law of the forum. COLEY, upon request of PFIZER and at PFIZER’s expense, agrees to join any such suit and agrees to use diligent efforts to obtain the joinder of any Third Parties as may be legally necessary or advisable, as determined by PFIZER. For this purpose, COLEY shall execute such legal papers and participate as necessary for the prosecution of such suit as may be reasonably requested by PFIZER. In addition, COLEY, at its option and at its own expense, shall have the right to participate in any such suit relating to the Field.

 

(b) If PFIZER determines not to pursue an action with respect to any Third Party infringement or unauthorized use of Coley Patent Rights in the Field or Coley Technology in the Field within 120 days after notice from COLEY, then COLEY may, in its sole discretion and expense, (i) obtain a discontinuance of the alleged infringing operation or unauthorized use or (ii) undertake legal action with respect to such Third

Party. Subject to legally privileged information, PFIZER shall inform COLEY of the circumstance of such infringement or unauthorized use, to the extent known by PFIZER, including such evidence of infringement or unauthorized use as PFIZER may possess and the numbers of the patents and patent applications so infringed or Coley Technology misused. Any suit by COLEY shall be either in the name of COLEY, or jointly by COLEY and PFIZER, as may be required by the law of the forum. For this purpose, PFIZER shall execute such legal papers necessary for the prosecution of such suit as may be reasonably requested by COLEY.

 

(c) It is understood and agreed that the party to this Agreement that institutes the suit or action under this Section 7.5 shall bear solely all of its costs and expenses associated therewith. If PFIZER institutes the claim or suit, then COLEY shall be entitled to receive [******************] of any and all sums received, obtained, collected or recovered whether by judgment, settlement or otherwise from a Third Party based upon any such claim or suit after deducting PFIZER’s out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees and expenses) in pursuing such claim. If COLEY institutes the claim or suit COLEY shall be entitled to retain and keep any and all sums received, obtained, collected or recovered whether by judgment, settlement or otherwise, as a result of such claim or suit.

 

7.6 Assignment of [*****************]. [************************************************************ ********************************************************].

Section 8. COVENANTS.

 

8.1 Technical Assistance. In connection with the transfer to PFIZER of the Coley Technology, COLEY shall provide PFIZER or any of its Affiliates, at PFIZER’s request, with technical assistance reasonably necessary to enable PFIZER to enjoy fully all the rights granted to PFIZER pursuant to this Agreement. PFIZER shall reimburse COLEY for COLEY’s reasonable, out-of-pocket costs owed to Third Parties in connection with providing such technical assistance. Nothing under this Section 8.1 shall require COLEY to undertake any additional studies or additional technical work.

 

8.2 Non-Competition.

 

(a) Coley Non-Compete [**************************************** *****]. During the Term, neither COLEY nor any of its Affiliates shall (i) directly or indirectly (by license or otherwise), conduct research on, develop or commercialize the Compound, a Research Compound, a Variant or prodrug of a Compound or Research Compound or a Generic Product outside the Field except for such ongoing research being conducted pursuant to the agreements listed in Schedules 8.2(a) and 8.2(a)-1 and (ii)

Party, PFIZER shall, within sixty (60) days from the date of PFIZER’s board approval of such acquisition or merger, notify COLEY of such merger or acquisition and as to whether PFIZER intends to divest its interest in such competing product. If PFIZER elects to divest its interest in such competing product, PFIZER shall use reasonable efforts to identify a Third Party purchaser to whom PFIZER will divest its interest in such competing product and to enter into a definitive agreement with such Third Party for such divestiture as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances (which may be subject to a Hold Separate Transaction (as defined below) as applicable). If PFIZER elects not to divest its interest in such competing product (other than as part of a Hold Separate Transaction) within six (6) months after the closing of the acquisition or merger for which PFIZER has provided COLEY with notice, or if such divestiture is subject to the terms of a Hold Separate Transaction, within twelve (12) months after the closing of the acquisition or merger for which PFIZER has provided COLEY with notice, then COLEY shall have the option, upon notice to PFIZER given no later than ninety (90) days after the earlier of (i) PFIZER’s election not to divest such competing product and (ii) the end of such six (6) or twelve (12) month period described above, as applicable, to [*************************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************], unless waived by COLEY during such period. As used herein, a “Hold Separate Transaction” shall mean any “hold separate” transaction (whether through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) involving the proposed sale of the applicable competing product pursuant to an agreement with any Governmental Authority responsible for antitrust laws.

 

8.3 Trademark. COLEY hereby assigns to PFIZER all of its right, title and interest in and to the ProMune trademark in all countries in the Territory. Each such trademark is set forth on Schedule 8.3 attached hereto (collectively, the “Trademarks”). PFIZER shall, in its sole discretion, be free to use or not use the Trademarks for any products or to abandon such Trademarks.

 

Section 9. CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICATION.

 

9.1 Confidentiality.

 

(a) PFIZER and COLEY each agree that during the Term and for the [*************] period following the expiration or termination hereof, it will keep confidential, and will cause its Affiliates to keep confidential all Coley Confidential Information or Pfizer Confidential Information, as the case may be, that is disclosed to it, or to any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(b) Neither PFIZER nor COLEY nor any of their respective Affiliates shall use Coley Confidential Information or Pfizer Confidential Information, as the case may be, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement.

subcontractor, consultant, licensee or agent of the other party shall be made only if and to the extent necessary to carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement. Except as permitted by Section 9.1(d) below, PFIZER agrees not to disclose any Coley Confidential Information and COLEY agrees not to disclose any Coley Confidential Information or Pfizer Confidential Information to any Third Parties, other than its directors, subcontractors, consultants, licensees and agents as permitted under this Section 9.1(c), or to the extent necessary under the UIRF License Agreement and the OHRI License Agreement, under any circumstance without written permission from the other party. PFIZER and COLEY each agree to take such action, and to cause its Affiliates to take such action, to preserve the confidentiality of Coley Confidential Information and/or Pfizer Confidential Information, as the case may be, as it would customarily take to preserve the confidentiality of its own confidential information. PFIZER and COLEY each agree, upon the other’s request, to return all Coley Confidential Information or Pfizer Confidential Information, as the case may be, disclosed to the other party pursuant to this Agreement, including all copies and extracts of documents, as promptly as practicable following such request upon the termination of this Agreement, except for one (1) copy which may be kept for the purpose of complying with continuing obligations under this Agreement.

 

(d) COLEY and PFIZER each represent that all of its directors, officers, employees, and any subcontractors, consultants, investigators, licensees or agents of such party, who shall have access to Pfizer Confidential Information or Coley Confidential Information are bound to maintain such information in confidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PFIZER may disclose Coley Confidential Information (i) to Governmental Authorities (a) to the extent reasonably useful to obtain or maintain Regulatory Approvals, Price Approvals, privileges or rights for any Licensed Product within the Territory and (b) in order to respond to inquiries, requests or investigations; (ii) to outside consultants, scientific advisory boards, managed care organizations, contract manufacturers and non-clinical and clinical investigators to the extent reasonably useful to develop, manufacture, register or market any Licensed Product; provided that PFIZER shall obtain the same confidentiality obligations from such Third Parties as it obtains with respect to its own similar types of proprietary information; and (iii) to the extent reasonably useful to PFIZER in exercising its rights under this Agreement; provided that in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), PFIZER shall treat the Coley Confidential Information in the same manner that it would treat its own similar types of proprietary information in similar situations.

 

(e) Nothing in this Section 9.1 shall be construed to limit the right of PFIZER’s or COLEY’s clinical investigators to publish the results of their studies.

 

9.2 Publication. Subject to Section 9.1(e), none of COLEY, its Affiliates, or any of its or its Affiliates’ employees, subcontractors, consultants, investigators, licensees or agents may publish or present any information, including, without limitation, the results of any work performed under the Screening and Evaluation Agreement, or preclinical or clinical studies with respect to the Compound, any Research Compound or any Licensed Product without PFIZER’s prior consent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion). Neither party shall have the right to publish or present Confidential Information of the other party.

9.3 Publicity. The press release announcing the signing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be in substantially the same form as Exhibit D attached hereto and will be promptly disseminated following signing. In addition, either party may make a public statement, including in analyst meetings, concerning this Agreement or the progress of the Compound, the Research Compounds or the Licensed Products where such statement: (a) is required by Law, applicable stock exchange regulation or legal proceedings, (b) concerns one of the events described in Schedule 9.3; provided that COLEY may only make a public statement concerning one of the events described in Schedule 9.3 as follows: (i) jointly with PFIZER, (ii) with PFIZER’s prior consent and in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 9.3 or (iii) after PFIZER has made a public statement with respect thereto, so long as COLEY’s public statement is consistent therewith; provided, further, that PFIZER shall either make a public statement concerning the events described in Schedule 9.3 in a manner consistent with its public statements for its other pharmaceutical products or permit COLEY to make a public statement in accordance with clause (ii) of this Section 9.3, or (c) is contained in PFIZER’s financial statements prepared in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles in the United States. In connection with any such statement, the party proposing to make such statement shall, if possible, endeavor to obtain confidential treatment of economic and trade secret information. In any event, the parties agree to use reasonable efforts, consistent with such party’s practice regarding its own similar types of proprietary information, to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information, except as permitted hereunder, and shall cooperate with each other with respect to all such disclosures. The party that is required to or has otherwise decided to make a written or oral public statement pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall give the other party sufficient advance notice of the text of any proposed statement so that the other party will have the opportunity to comment upon the statement, and such comments will be given due consideration by the party making the statement. Once a statement has been approved by both parties in accordance with this Section 9.3, then either party may communicate the information contained in such statement in a manner that is consistent with such statement. Except as provided above in this Section 9.3, neither party will make any public statement (whether written or oral or to the public press or its stockholders or otherwise) relating to the terms of, or events related to, this Agreement without the prior consent of the other party.

 

9.4 Registration and Filing of this Agreement. To the extent, if any, that a party concludes that it is required under applicable Laws to file or register this Agreement or a notification thereof with any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the FTC or the DOJ, such party may do so; provided that such party shall provide the other party with a written copy of all proposed filings, registrations or notifications within such time frame as to allow for a reasonably sufficient time for review and comment by the other party prior to the submission of such proposed filing, registration or notification. The other party shall cooperate with such filing, registration or notification and shall execute all documents reasonably required in connection therewith. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties will request confidential treatment of sensitive provisions of the Agreement. The parties shall promptly inform each other as to the activities or inquiries of any such Governmental Authority relating to this Agreement and shall cooperate to respond to any request for further information therefrom. Each party shall be responsible for its own legal and other external costs in connection with any such filings, registrations or notifications.

Section 10. REPRESENTATIONS.

 

10.1 COLEY Warranties. As of the date hereof and as of the Effective Date, each of the Coley Entities hereby represents and warrants to PFIZER as follows:

 

(a) To the knowledge of each such Coley Entity and its Affiliates, the issued patents encompassed within the Coley Patent Rights applicable to the Field are valid and enforceable patents, and no Third Party (i) is infringing any such patents in the Field relating to the Compound or the Product in development as of the Effective Date or (ii) except as indicated in Schedule 10.1(a)ii has challenged the extent, validity or enforceability of such patents (including by way of example through the institution or written threat of institution of interference, nullity or similar invalidity proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any equivalent foreign entity). Exhibit A contains a complete and correct list of all patents and patent applications owned by, or otherwise controlled by each of the Coley Entities (and indicating which entity owns or controls each patent and patent application and which are owned and which are controlled) relating to the Compound or any Product. To the knowledge of COLEY and its Affiliates, none of the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation by COLEY of the Compound or any Product would infringe or constitute a misappropriation or other violation of the rights of any Third Party. Each of the Coley Entities, as the case may be, is the legal and beneficial owner of, or has the right to grant to PFIZER the rights granted herein pursuant to (x) the OHRI License Agreement, the UIRF License Agreement or any other assignment of inventorship, (y) all the Coley Patent Rights in the Field and (z) all Coley Technology in the Field. Except for the license identified in Schedule 1.28, and except for research licenses for non-commercial purposes granted to academic or non-profit research entities or to other Third Parties involved in research for non-commercial purposes, no person, firm, corporation or other entity (including without limitation any direct or indirect subsidiary or Affiliate of any Coley Entity and any agreements and licenses by and between or among any Coley Entities and their respective Affiliates) has any right, interest or claim in or to, and neither COLEY nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any agreement granting any right, interest or claim in or to, any Coley Patent Rights applicable to the Field or Coley Technology applicable to the Field. Except for the rights granted to COLEY under the OHRI License Agreement and the UIRF License Agreement, none of the rights of COLEY or its Affiliates under the Coley Patent Rights in the Field or Coley Technology in the Field have been licensed or otherwise made available (including without limitation pursuant to any immunity from suit arrangement) to COLEY or its Affiliates from a Third Party. COLEY and/or its Affiliates own or control valid and enforceable rights in the Coley Patent Rights and Coley Technology in the Field, in each case, free of any lien, encumbrance, charge, security interest, mortgage or other similar restriction.

 

(b) Each of the Coley Entities has heretofore disclosed to PFIZER all material information known to it or its Affiliates with respect to the safety and efficacy of the Compound and the Product.

 

(c) Each of the Coley Entities has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, and Coley Inc. has the corporate power and authority

to execute and deliver the Screening and Evaluation Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement and to perform its respective obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by each of them and the Screening and Evaluation Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement by Coley Inc. have been duly and validly authorized and approved by proper corporate action on the part of each of them, and each of the Coley Entities has taken all other action required by Law, its certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents or any agreement to which it is a party or to which it may be subject required to authorize such execution, delivery and performance (other than compliance with all applicable requirements of the HSR Act). Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery on the part of PFIZER, each of this Agreement, the Screening and Evaluation Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Coley Entities that are party hereto or thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms.

 

(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Screening and Evaluation Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement by each of the Coley Entities that are party hereto or thereto and the performance by each of them contemplated hereunder and thereunder does not and will not violate any Laws or any order of any court or Governmental Authority where such violation would have an adverse impact on PFIZER’s rights hereunder.

 

(e) Except for filings pursuant to the HSR Act, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Screening and Evaluation Agreement or the Stock Purchase Agreement, nor the performance hereof or thereof by any Coley Entity requires any of them to obtain any permits, authorizations or consents from any Governmental Authority or from any other person, firm or corporation, and such execution, delivery and performance will not result in the breach of, give rise to any termination of, rescission, renegotiation or acceleration under or trigger any other rights under any agreement or contract to which (i) any of the Coley Entities may be a party that relates to the Coley Patent Rights, the Coley Technology, the Compound, or the Product or (ii) to the knowledge of COLEY and its Affiliates, OHRI or UIRF is a party that relates to the Coley Patent Rights, the Coley Technology, the Compound, or the Product.

 

(f) Except as listed on Schedule 10.1(a)(ii), to the knowledge of COLEY and its Affiliates, there is no action, claim, demand, suit, proceeding, arbitration, grievance, citation, summons, subpoena, inquiry or investigation of any nature, civil, criminal, regulatory or otherwise, in Law or in equity, pending or relating to or, to the knowledge of COLEY and its Affiliates, threatened against COLEY, any of the parties to the OHRI License Agreement or the UIRF License Agreement, or any of their respective Affiliates, in each case in connection with the Compound, the Product or any Coley Patent Rights or Coley Technology or against or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Screening and Evaluation Agreement or the Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

(g) Except for (x) the OHRI License Agreement, (y) the UIRF License Agreement and (z) the agreements listed on Schedule 10.1(g)(i), there are no agreements to which COLEY or any of its Affiliates is a party pursuant to which COLEY or any of

its Affiliates has a license, or an option to obtain a license, or holds an immunity from suit, with respect to patents which (i) are pending, applied for, granted or registered, and (ii) but for COLEY’s and its Affiliates’ rights under such agreements, could be asserted by Third Parties to be infringed by the manufacture, distribution, use, or sale of the Compound or the Product. Each of the OHRI License Agreement and the UIRF License Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of each of Coley Inc. and the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and is in full force and effect. The OHRI License Agreement and the UIRF License Agreement will continue to be in full force and effect on identical terms immediately following the execution of this Agreement, and there have not been any amendments or alterations thereto that have not been heretofore disclosed to PFIZER.

(a) PFIZER has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Screening and Evaluation Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Screening and Evaluation Agreement by PFIZER have been duly and validly authorized and approved by proper corporate action on the part of PFIZER, and PFIZER has taken all other action required by Law, its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any agreement to which it is a party or to which it may be subject required to authorize such execution, delivery and performance (other than compliance with all applicable requirements of the HSR Act). Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery on the part of the Coley Entities, each of this Agreement and the Screening and Evaluation Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of PFIZER, enforceable against PFIZER in accordance with its terms.

 

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Screening and Evaluation Agreement and the performance by PFIZER contemplated hereunder and thereunder does not and will not violate (subject to obtaining appropriate governmental health, pricing and reimbursement approvals) any Laws or any order of any court or Governmental Authority where such violation would have an adverse effect on COLEY’s or its Affiliates’ rights hereunder.

 

(c) Except for filings pursuant to the HSR Act, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Screening and Evaluation Agreement nor the performance hereof or thereof by PFIZER requires PFIZER to obtain any permits, authorizations or consents from any Governmental Authority (subject to obtaining all necessary FDA and other Governmental Authority approvals with respect to the manufacture, use or sale of the Compound and the Product) or from any other person, firm or corporation and such execution, delivery and performance will not result in the breach of or give rise to any termination of any agreement or contract to which PFIZER may be a party, except for those that would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect PFIZER’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Screening and Evaluation Agreement.

 

(d) To the knowledge of PFIZER, there is no action, claim, demand, suit, proceeding, arbitration, grievance, citation, summons, subpoena, inquiry or investigation of any nature, civil, criminal, regulatory or otherwise, in Law or in equity, pending or relating to or, to the knowledge of PFIZER, threatened against PFIZER in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Screening and Evaluation Agreement.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, PFIZER shall be entitled to become the “Indemnifying Party” as that term is used in Section 13.4 (but subject to the sharing of liability as provided in Section 13.2(a)) and, therefore, PFIZER shall have full control of any such claim from a Third Party involving Co-Indemnity Liability as contemplated in Section 13.4; provided, however, that PFIZER shall notify COLEY of any claim asserted against it by a Third Party for which PFIZER is entitled to co-indemnification by COLEY under Section 13.2(a).

(b) Within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnifying Party has given notice to the Indemnified Party of its intended exercise of its right to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party of any objection thereto based upon the Litigation Conditions. If the Indemnified Party reasonably so objects, the Indemnified Party shall continue to defend the Third Party Claim, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, until such time as such objection is withdrawn. If no such notice is given, or if any such objection is withdrawn, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to assume and conduct such defense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, until such time as the Indemnified Party shall give notice that any of the Litigation Conditions, in its reasonable judgment, are no longer satisfied. During such time as the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate, and shall cause its Affiliates and agents to cooperate upon request of the Indemnifying Party in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim, including by furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may reasonably be requested by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to satisfy the Litigation Conditions or does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to defend any Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may (without further notice to the Indemnifying Party) undertake the defense thereof with counsel of its choice and at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable expense (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of enforcement or defense). The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to join in (including the right to conduct discovery, interview and examine witnesses and participate in all settlement conferences), but not control, at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim which the other party is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be represented by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense; provided, however, that if COLEY, upon the advice of counsel, reasonably determines that the interests of COLEY and PFIZER in connection with such Third Party Claim involving Co-Indemnity Liability pursuant to Section 13.2(a) are conflicting, then the reasonable cost and expense of such counsel shall be included in the Co-Indemnity Liability.

 

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement which commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief, but, subject to Section 13.2(c) and this Section 13.4(c), shall not have the right to settle such Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim involves monetary damages without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) PFIZER shall deliver to COLEY all offers of settlement relating to any Co-Indemnity Liability (any such offer, an

13.6 Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL PFIZER OR COLEY BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS) SUFFERED BY PFIZER OR COLEY, RESPECTIVELY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT (A) TO THE EXTENT OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM, (B) FOR PURPOSES OF INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 13, FOR [*******************************************

Section 14. GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION AND JURISDICTION

 

14.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

 

14.2 Arbitration.

 

(a) The parties recognize that a bona fide dispute as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the term of the Agreement. In the event of the occurrence of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, enforceability or performance of the Agreement including disputes relating to an actual or alleged breach or termination of the Agreement (but in all cases excluding any disputes

regarding matters decided as a result of an audit by the accountants hired to conduct such audit pursuant to Section 6.5, intellectual property matters relating to the validity or enforceability of such intellectual property (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 7) or any suits for specific performance or injunctive relief (collectively, the “Excluded Matters”)), it shall be settled in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that the arbitrators referred to below shall give effect to the provisions of the Agreement and shall not adjust, modify or change the effects of the provisions as set forth in the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no party shall be required to submit any Excluded Matter (including, without limitation, any applicable validity, construction, enforceability, breach or default dispute or issue under this Agreement involving such Excluded Matter) to arbitration pursuant to this Section 14.2.

 

(b) If a party intends to begin to resolve a dispute under this Section 14.2, such party shall provide written notice (the “ADR Request”) to the other party informing such party of such intention and the issues to be resolved. The notice shall explain the nature of the complaint and refer to the relevant sections of the Agreement upon which the complaint is based. The complaining party shall also set forth a proposed solution to the problem, including a suggested time frame within which the parties must act.

 

(c) The non-complaining party must respond within forty-five (45) days of receiving notice with an explanation, including references to the relevant provisions of the Agreement and a response to the proposed solution and suggested timeframe for action. The non-complaining party may add additional issues to be resolved.

 

(d) Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the response from the non-complaining party, the parties shall meet and discuss options for resolving the dispute at either the Development Committee or Screening and Evaluation Committee, as appropriate. At least one officer or executive of each party will attend the Development Committee or Screening and Evaluation Committee meeting, as applicable, and both parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. The complaining party must initiate the scheduling of this resolution meeting. If the dispute is not resolved at the applicable committee meeting, then COLEY shall make its President or CEO available and PFIZER shall make a senior executive responsible for development or a senior executive responsible for the pharmaceutical business (as applicable) available to meet and confer with the other party.

 

(e) Except for Excluded Matters and as otherwise provided herein, any dispute under this Agreement that cannot be resolved pursuant to Sections 14.2(b), (c) and (d) above shall be resolved through binding arbitration as follows:

 

(i) A party may submit such dispute to arbitration by notifying the other party, in writing, of such dispute (the “Arbitration Notice”). Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, all arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English and held in New York City, New York. The parties agree to use a panel of three arbitrators, selected from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Arbitration Panels from the jurisdiction in which the arbitration is to be held. Each party shall select one (1) arbitrator within thirty (30) days after receipt of such

68


Arbitration Notice, and the third (3rd) arbitrator must be a former United States federal judge who shall be selected by the parties’ chosen arbitrators within thirty (30) days of the parties’ chosen arbitrators being selected; provided, however, that if the parties’ arbitrators cannot agree on a third (3rd) arbitrator within such thirty (30)-day period, the third (3rd) arbitrator shall be a former United States federal judge selected by the New York, New York office of the AAA. The arbitrators shall, in rendering a decision, apply the substantive law of New York.

 

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after the designation of the arbitrators, the arbitrators and the parties shall meet, at which time the parties shall be required to set forth in writing all disputed issues and a proposed ruling on the merits of each such issue. During the meeting, the parties shall negotiate in good faith the issues to be tried and the scope and schedule of discovery relating to depositions, document production and other discovery devices, taking into account the nature of the dispute submitted for resolution. If the parties are unable to reach agreement at such meeting as to the scope and schedule of discovery, then the arbitrators may order such discovery as they deem necessary but in accordance with the following: (x) the Federal Rules of Evidence and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply and (y) to the extent practicable, taking into account the nature of the dispute submitted for resolution, such discovery shall be completed in no less than sixty (60) days and no more than one hundred twenty (120) days, as determined by the arbitrators, taking into consideration the needs of the parties. Such discovery shall be conducted in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

 

(iii) The arbitrators shall set a date for a hearing, which shall be no later than thirty (30) days after the close of discovery. Except as provided herein, the arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of AAA; provided, however, that R-31 and R-32 of those rules will be modified to the extent that the Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply with regard to admissibility of evidence. The arbitration shall continue from day-to-day until completed. The arbitrators may then request oral summations by the parties if they deem such summations to be useful. At the hearing, each party shall submit to the arbitrators and each other party all requested dispositive motions with respect to the claims in arbitration. At such hearing, the parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel. Within thirty (30) days following the above hearing, both parties shall be entitled to submit post-hearing briefs and findings of fact.

 

(iv) The arbitrators shall use their best efforts to rule on each disputed issue within forty-five (45) days after the completion of the hearings described in this Section 14.2. The arbitrations shall issue an opinion with findings of fact and conclusions of law. In making the award, the arbitrators shall rule on each disputed issue. Resolution of disputes under this Section 14.2 shall be the sole and exclusive means of resolving disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than Excluded Matters); provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude a party hereto from seeking in any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive or other equitable relief. The arbitration proceeding shall be

69


confidential and, except as required by Law, neither party shall make (or instruct the arbitrators to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrators without the prior consent of the other party. The existence of any dispute submitted pursuant to this Section 14.2, and the award of the arbitrators, shall be kept in confidence by the parties and the arbitrators, except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by applicable Law. All rulings of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the parties.

 

(v) The (x) attorneys’ fees of the parties in any arbitration, (y) fees of the arbitrators and (z) costs and expenses of the arbitration shall be borne by the parties as determined by the arbitrators. Any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(vi) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the arbitrators to award punitive, exemplary or any similar damages. By entering into the Agreement and exercising their rights to arbitrate, the parties expressly waive any claim for punitive, exemplary or any similar damages. The only damages recoverable under this Agreement are those permitted pursuant to Section 13.

 

14.3 Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement (each, a “Proceeding”), each party irrevocably (i) subject to this Section 14.3, agrees and consents to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or any Delaware state court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware (any such court, the “Court”) and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceeding brought in any such Court as provided in this Section 14.3, waives any claim that such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceeding, that such Court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Court adjudicating such Proceeding refuses for any reason to exercise jurisdiction over the dispute, either party shall be free to bring such Proceeding in any other Court in such state as provided above and, in the event such other Court refuses for any reason to exercise jurisdiction over the dispute, either party shall be free to bring such Proceeding in any other court, and (b) if any party (the “initiating party”) commences a Proceeding in any Court, the other party (the “defending party”) shall possess and retain the right to assert in that same Proceeding all claims and defenses that the defending party may have against the initiating party, including, without limitation, all counterclaims and setoffs. Each of Coley Inc., Coley Canada and Coley Germany shall at all times maintain an agent for service of process and any other documents in proceedings in Wilmington, Delaware and hereby designates Coley Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. as its agent. Each of Coley Canada and Coley Germany shall promptly provide PFIZER with written notice of any change in the identity of such agent. Any pleading, judgment or other notice of legal process shall be sufficiently served on each of Coley Inc., Coley Canada and Coley Germany if delivered to its agent at its then current address. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and specific performance in any court in the world.

Section 15. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

15.1 Force Majeure. Neither party hereto shall be liable to the other party for any losses or damages attributable to a default in or breach of this Agreement which is the result of war (whether declared or undeclared), acts of God, revolution, acts of terror, fire, earthquake, flood, pestilence, riot, enactment or change of Law, accident(s), labor trouble, or shortage of or inability to obtain material, equipment or transport or any other cause beyond reasonable control of such party (in no event to include the obligation to pay money).

 

15.2 Severability. If and solely to the extent that any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, or shall render this entire Agreement to be unenforceable or invalid, such offending provision shall be of no effect and shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement or any of its provisions; provided, however, the parties shall use their respective reasonable efforts to renegotiate the offending provisions to best accomplish the original intentions of the parties.

 

15.3 Accrued Obligation. Except as provided herein, termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release any party hereto from any liability which at the time of such termination has already accrued to the other party or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination, nor shall it preclude either party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement.

 

15.4 Waivers. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party or parties waiving such term or condition. Neither the waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, nor the failure on the part of any party, in one or more instances, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege, shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or condition for any similar instance in the future or of any subsequent breach hereof. All rights, remedies, undertakings, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative and none of them shall be a limitation of any other remedy, right, undertaking, obligation or agreement.

 

15.5 Entire Agreements; Amendments. This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Agreements, (together with Agreement and Option dated March 9, 2005, with each of Ottawa Health Research Institute and University of Iowa Research Foundation) sets forth the entire agreement and understanding among the parties as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all agreements or understandings, verbal or written, made between COLEY and PFIZER before the date hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof. None of the terms of this Agreement shall be amended, supplemented or modified except in writing signed by both parties.

 

15.6 Survival. The provisions of Sections 2.4, 4.8(c) 6.5, 6.6, 9.1, 12.2, 13, 14 and 15 shall survive according to their respective provisions the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

 

15.7 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, subject to

71


this Section 15.7, either party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part: (i) to any of its respective Affiliates so long as such party shall remain jointly and severally liable with such Affiliate in respect of all obligations so assigned; (ii) in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or stock, or in the event of its merger or consolidation or similar transaction; or (iii) to a Large Pharmaceutical Company (as defined in the definition of Change of Control) if such party or its Affiliates is required to, or reasonably believes that it will be required to, divest any of the Licensed Products or a competing product in order to comply with Law or the order of any Governmental Authority as a result of a merger or acquisition; provided, that if permitted by the Law or applicable Governmental Authority, (x) the other party shall be invited to submit a bid for the rights to be divested and (y) the divesting party grants to the other party a non-exclusive right to negotiate for a period of thirty (30) days to acquire the rights to be divested; provided, further, that, in the case of PFIZER, PFIZER’s rights and obligations under Section 8.2(e) shall take precedence over this right. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 15.7 shall be void. Subject to this Section 15.7, any permitted assignee shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement.

 

15.8 Independent Contractor. The relationship between COLEY and PFIZER is that of independent contractors. COLEY and PFIZER are not joint venturers, partners, principal and agent, employer and employee, and have no other relationship other than independent contracting parties.

 

15.9 Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the term of this Agreement, neither party shall, directly or indirectly, recruit or solicit any employee of the other party with whom such party has come into contact or interacted for the purposes of performing this Agreement, without the prior consent of the other party, except pursuant to general solicitations not targeted at such employees.

 

15.10 Joint and Several Liability. The parties understand and agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all obligations and liabilities of Coley Inc., Coley Canada and Coley Germany under this Agreement shall be joint and several.

 

15.11 Designation of Coley Inc as Agent. Each of Coley Canada and Coley Germany hereby designates and authorizes Coley Inc., on behalf of Coley Canada and Coley Germany, respectively, to receive all notices, to give all consents, waivers, approvals or to take any other action pursuant to this Agreement. Each of Coley Canada and Coley Germany hereby irrevocably appoints Coley Inc. as its attorney-in-fact, subject to the terms hereof, to carry out the matters authorized by this Section 15.11, including, without limitation, to amend, modify, waive, assign and transfer any rights and obligations relating to the Coley Patent Rights and the Coley Technology.

Pfizer/Coley press release DRAFT

 

PFIZER, COLEY PHARMACEUTICAL GROUP ENTER INTO EXCLUSIVE GLOBAL LICENSE

FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION

OF PROMUNE FOR CANCERS

 

New York and Wellesley, MA, March x 2005 – Pfizer Inc and Coley Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. said today they have entered into an exclusive global license agreement to develop, manufacture and commercialize Coley’s ProMune (CPG 7909), a toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist delivered by subcutaneous injection for the potential treatment, control and prevention of cancers in humans.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, which is subject to government approval, Pfizer will make an initial payment of $50 million to Coley, with the potential for up to $455 million in additional milestone payments, plus royalties based on the successful development and commercialization of ProMune. In addition, under certain circumstances, Pfizer will invest up to $10 million in Coley’s common stock upon an initial public offering by Coley.

 

Pfizer will fund future development of ProMune, including planned Phase III trials for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. A variety of additional tumor types also will be explored. Pfizer also will fund a collaboration with Coley to discover and develop next generation TLR9 agonists for cancers, which, if successful, could result in additional milestone payments and royalties to Coley.

 

“Results of clinical studies conducted to date suggest that ProMune has promising anti-cancer activity and may represent an important advance in treating a range of cancer indications,” said Karen Katen, Vice Chairman and President, Pfizer Human Health. “This agreement is a further step in our strategy to augment Pfizer’s internal research activities with externally sourced products in key therapeutic areas such as oncology, where Pfizer is working to meet the needs of cancer patients.”

 

Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 406 of the Securities Act.

D- 1


“We are extremely proud of our progress with ProMune, as shown in Coley’s randomized Phase II clinical trials,” said Robert L. Bratzler, Ph.D., Coley’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to working with the Pfizer team to realize ProMune’s remarkable potential as a highly potent and broadly applicable anti-cancer therapy.”

 

ProMune has been evaluated in clinical studies involving more than 900 subjects. Promising initial anti-cancer activity without substantial additional toxicity has been observed in both solid and hematologic tumors, both as a single agent and in combination with other treatments. The technology licensed to Pfizer by Coley includes intellectual property licensed by Coley from the University of Iowa Research Foundation in Iowa City, Iowa and the Ottawa Health Research Institute in Ottawa, Canada.
