NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

If an IND is not required to be filed for a particular Licensed Product, then for purposes of Section 3.2, the IND filing shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day that Intrexon or its Affiliates receives approval to proceed to commence human clinical testing with respect to such Licensed Product.

1.14 “Know-How” means any and all written technical and other information, data, methods, technology and materials of any kind provided to Intrexon pursuant to Section 2.3, regardless of whether patentable and which are not in the public domain, including without limitation trade secrets and other Confidential Information, directly relating to NK–92 that are owned or Rightfully Used by CONKWEST as of the Effective Date.

(a) trade, quantity, promotional and other customary discounts actually allowed and taken directly with respect to such sales, or amounts repaid or credited because of retroactive price adjustments;

(b) rebates (including price reductions, rebates to social and welfare systems, chargebacks or reserves for chargebacks, cash rebate incentives, government mandated rebates and similar types of rebates);

(c) the portion of administration fees paid to group purchasing organizations or pursuant to inventory management agreements with Third Party wholesalers and warehousing chains related exclusively to the distribution of Licensed Product;

3


(g) a reasonable allowance for bad debt calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no discount, allowance, rebate, chargeback, or any similar amount, however designated, that is given or associated with the purchase by any Third Party of any product other than the Licensed Products, or with the purchase or provision of any service, shall be taken into consideration in calculating any deductions from the invoiced amount. Net Sales amounts shall be determined from the books and records of Intrexon and its Affiliates maintained in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied. In the case of any sale for value, such as barter or counter-trade, of Product, other than in an arm’s length transaction exclusively for cash, Net Sales shall be deemed to be the Net Sales at which substantially similar quantities of Product are sold for cash in an arm’s length transaction in the relevant country, or as reasonably agreed by Intrexon and CONKWEST if unknown to Intrexon, shall be included in the definition of Net Sales. In the case of Combination Products for which the component constituting a Licensed Product and each of the other components not constituting a Licensed Product have established market prices when sold separately, Net Sales shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales for each such Combination Product by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the established market price for the Licensed Product contained in the Combination Product and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the established market prices for the Licensed Product plus the other components contained in the Combination Product. When separate market prices are not established, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine a fair and equitable method of calculating Net Sales for the Combination Product in question, taking into account factors such as relative cost and relative therapeutic or prophylactic contribution. Net Sales shall be recorded in accordance with GAAP.

1.19 “NK–92” means [***].

1.20 “Person” means an individual, partnership, firm, corporation, limited liability company, joint venture, association, trust or other entity or any government agency or political subdivision thereof.

1.22 “Phase II Clinical Trial” means a human clinical trial, the principal purpose of which is a preliminary determination of efficacy or dose ranges in patients with the disease target being studied as required in 21 C.F.R. §312.21(b), as may be amended from time to time, or a similar clinical study prescribed by the regulatory authorities in a market other than the United States.

1.23 “Phase III Clinical Trial” means a human clinical trial other than a Phase I Clinical Trial or Phase II Clinical Trial, the principal purpose of which is to provide substantial evidence of efficacy and safety in patients with the disease target being studied as required in 21 C.F.R. §312.21(c), as may be amended from time to time, or a similar clinical study prescribed by the regulatory authorities in a market other than the United States.

1.25 “Rightfully Use” means, with respect to NK–92, the Know-How or the Licensed Patents, that CONKWEST has an interest therein sufficient to enable it to (a) use that intellectual property and (b) grant to Intrexon a license or sublicense to use that intellectual property as contemplated hereunder, in either case without violating the terms of any agreement or other arrangement with or intellectual property rights of any Third Party.

1.26 “Sublicensing Revenues” means any amounts received by Intrexon or its Affiliates from any Third Party sublicensee of the License of the rights licensed to Intrexon under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any amounts received by Intrexon or its Affiliates on account of sales of Licensed Products by such sublicensee.

1.27 “Third Party” means any Person other than Intrexon, CONKWEST or an Affiliate of either of them.

1.28 “Valid Claim” means a claim of any issued and unexpired patent, or patent application within the Licensed Patents that has been pending approval for no more than four (4) years after its initial date of filing, and that has not been held invalid or unenforceable by a final decision of a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, which decision can no longer be appealed or was not appealed within the time allowed.

There shall be no obligation to pay CONKWEST under this Article on sales of Licensed Product between Intrexon and its Affiliates or between any of them but in such instances the obligation to pay royalties shall arise upon the sale by Intrexon or its Affiliates to Third Parties.

4.3 Sublicensing Revenues.

In addition to the payments, fees and royalties described elsewhere in this Agreement, Intrexon shall pay CONKWEST [***] of all Sublicensing Revenues, due and payable within ten (10) days after receipt by Intrexon of such Sublicensing Revenues.

ARTICLE 5. REPORTS

5.1 Financial Reports.

Within forty-five (45) days after the close of each Calendar Quarter of each year during the Term (including the last day of any such Calendar Quarter following the expiration or termination date of this Agreement), Intrexon shall provide a written report to CONKWEST of all Net Sales, royalty payments, milestone payments and Sublicensing Revenues actually accruing under Article 4 during such Calendar Quarter. Such quarterly reports shall indicate for such Calendar Quarter the Net Sales of each Licensed Product sold by Intrexon and its Affiliates and Sublicensing Revenues received from sublicensees with respect to which payment is due (shown with respect to such Calendar Quarter and on an aggregate basis during the applicable Calendar Year) and the applicable royalty calculation and shall also include gross revenues with respect to such sales and a breakdown of the allowable expenses used to determine Net Sales. In case no payment is due for any such period, Intrexon shall so report. Intrexon shall keep, and it shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to keep, accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the aforesaid payments due under Section 4 to be determined. Upon the request of CONKWEST, Intrexon and its Affiliates and sublicensees shall permit an independent regionally recognized certified public accountant selected by CONKWEST to have access, once in each Calendar Year during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice to Intrexon, to such of the records of Intrexon and its Affiliates and sublicensees with respect to such sales as may be necessary to verify the accuracy of the reports made during the previous Calendar Year, except that: said accountant shall meet the prior approval of Intrexon or its Affiliate or its sublicensee in question, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and said accountant shall not disclose to CONKWEST any information except that which should properly have been contained in such reports; and said audit right may not be exercised more than once in any one Calendar Year. The records from which the royalty reports are prepared need not be retained by Intrexon longer than three (3) years. Any such audit shall be at the sole cost and expense of CONKWEST.

5.2 Product Reports.

Upon written request of CONKWEST, Intrexon shall provide CONKWEST with summary reports, not more frequently than annually during the Term, setting forth a summary-level review of the research, development and commercialization activities undertaken by Intrexon, its Affiliates and sublicensees with respect to the Licensed Products during the period covered by the report and/or since the last report. For the avoidance of doubt, reports provided by Intrexon pursuant to this Section 5.2 are the Confidential Information of Intrexon.

 

8


ARTICLE 6. PAYMENTS

6.1 Payments.

Payments shown to have accrued by each of the quarterly reports provided for under Article 5 above shall be due and payable in immediately available funds on the date such report is due and shall be paid in United States dollars.

6.2 Non-U.S. Sales.

The remittance of payments based on Net Sales or Sublicensing Revenues received by Intrexon or its Affiliates other than in United States dollars shall be payable to CONKWEST in United States dollars calculated using Intrexon’s conversion methodology, which shall be consistent with GAAP, and shall be based on monthly averages (end of prior month spot rate plus end of current month spot rate divided by two) using central bank fixing rates in countries where available and open market rates otherwise. All taxes imposed as a result of the existence of this Agreement or the performance hereunder shall be paid by the Party required to do so by applicable law; provided, that only if so required by applicable law, Intrexon shall withhold the amount of any such taxes and shall promptly effect payment thereof to the appropriate tax authorities. In that case, Intrexon shall cooperate reasonably, at CONKWEST’s expense, with CONKWEST in obtaining a refund of any such taxes, and shall transmit to CONKWEST official tax receipts or other evidence issued by such tax authorities sufficient to enable CONKWEST to support a claim for the United States income tax credit in respect of any such taxes so withheld.

6.3 Taxes.

If law or regulation requires the withholding of any taxes due by Intrexon or its Affiliates on sales of Licensed Products in a given country, the Parties shall confer regarding possible alternative arrangements to lawfully avoid such withholding. If, between a country and any other place designated, a treaty reduces or eliminates the withholding of any taxes otherwise due on royalties payable from such country, CONKWEST may (but shall not be obligated to) request a direct remittance of royalties to CONKWEST at such place as it may designate. If the parties are unable to formulate or agree upon action to lawfully avoid withholding, then the Parties agree that such taxes shall be included as deductions in the calculation of Net Sales, and Intrexon shall remit such taxes to the proper authority and provide CONKWEST with appropriate documentation thereof.

6.4 Late Payments.

Any payment (including royalty, milestone and development funding) which is not made when due hereunder shall accrue interest from the due date at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month; provided that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate. Collection of interest shall not prevent CONKWEST from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the default in timely payment.

ARTICLE 7. DATA SHARING AND ACCESS

7.1 CONKWEST Information.

CONKWEST will provide Intrexon [***].

7.2 Intrexon Information.

Intrexon will provide CONKWEST [***].

ARTICLE 8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

8.1 Prosecution of Licensed Patents.

(a) CONKWEST shall prosecute and reasonably maintain all of the patents and applications included within the Licensed Patents with counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense in the following countries and territories: United States, European Union and Canada. CONKWEST also agrees to keep Intrexon reasonably informed of the status of all patent applications and any patents issuing therefrom included in the Licensed Patents by providing Intrexon reports at least twice per Calendar Year listing all such patents and patent applications, identified by country, title and patent or application number and briefly describing their status. CONKWEST also agrees to provide Intrexon with copies of all substantive official communications related to such patent applications or patents and to give reasonable due consideration to the advice of Intrexon’s counsel in connection with all such substantive official communications from the applicable patent office.

(b) Should CONKWEST (at its discretion) not wish to prosecute or maintain any patent or application included within the Licensed Patents in any particular country in which Licensed Products are being sold or intended to be sold (as determined by the Parties) (a “Discontinued Patent”), CONKWEST will provide Intrexon with thirty (30) days’ advance written notice (but in any event sufficient notice to enable Intrexon to meet any deadlines by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve any such rights in a Licensed Patent in any country) of its intentions (a “Patent Discontinuance Election”). Upon Intrexon’s receipt of a Patent Discontinuance Election, or if at any time CONKWEST fails to initiate any such action within thirty (30) days after a request by Intrexon that it do so (or, if after initiating a requested action, CONKWEST at any time thereafter fails to diligently pursue such action) [***], Intrexon may elect to prosecute and maintain the applicable Discontinued Patent at its own expense on CONKWEST’s behalf by providing CONKWEST with written notice of such election within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Patent Discontinuance Election. Upon such election by Intrexon, CONKWEST shall assign to Intrexon the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute and maintain such Discontinued Patent on CONKWEST’s behalf and at Intrexon’s expense. Pending such assignment, CONKWEST shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts at Intrexon’s reasonable expense to maintain or otherwise ensure that available patent protection will not be lost with respect to such Discontinued Patent; provided, that Intrexon does not unreasonably delay the assignment thereof. With respect to any Discontinued Patent, each document or a draft thereof in either Party’s possession or control pertaining to the prosecution or maintenance of such Discontinued Patent, including without limitation, each patent application, office action, response to office action, request for terminal disclaimer and request for reissue or reexamination

 

10


of any patent issuing from such application shall be provided to the Party that is not conducting such activity as follows. Documents received from any patent office or counsel’s analysis thereof shall be provided to the other Party promptly after receipt. For a document to be filed in any patent office, a draft of such document shall be provided sufficiently prior to its filing to allow for review and comment by the other Party. The Party conducting the activity agrees to give good faith consideration to all comments provided by the other Party. In the event that claims must be narrowed and the other Party disagrees with said action or wishes to continue to pursue broader claims, then the Party conducting such activity agrees to pursue said broader claims in additional patent filings or as appropriate at the other Party’s expense.

8.2 Infringement by Third Parties.

(a) Notice. Upon learning of any suspected infringement of the Licensed Patents in the Field of Use, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of the details of any such suspected infringement and shall inform the other Party of any evidence thereof.

(b) Intrexon’s Right to Enforce Within the Field of Use. Intrexon, in its sole discretion, is empowered, but not obligated, to enforce the Licensed Patents within the Field of Use at any time during the Term at its sole expense by initiating, prosecuting and controlling any claim, action or proceeding with respect to such infringement using counsel of its choice that is reasonably acceptable to CONKWEST, as follows:

(i) CONKWEST will reasonably cooperate with any such defense or enforcement, including joining as a named party as necessary;

(ii) [***];

(iii) [***];

(iv) [***]; and

(v) [***].

(c) CONKWEST’s Right to Enforce Within the Field of Use. If Intrexon fails to bring an infringement action described in Section 8.2 within a period of ninety (90) days after receiving written notice from CONKWEST or within a period of one hundred-eighty (180) days after having actual knowledge of infringement of the Licensed Patents within the Field of Use, then CONKWEST shall have the right to bring and control any such infringement action, or otherwise assume the primary defense of such invalidity or unenforceability claims, by counsel of its own choice and expense. If CONKWEST reasonably determines that Intrexon is an indispensable party to the infringement action, Intrexon hereby consents to be joined. In such event, Intrexon shall have the right to be represented in that infringement action by counsel of its own choice and at Intrexon’s expense. CONKWEST shall have the right to settle any such infringement action, subject to Intrexon’s prior consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Any damages or other monetary awards recovered by CONKWEST shall be applied first to defray all of the costs and expenses incurred in the infringement action. If any balance remains, such balance shall be (i) shared equally by CONKWEST and Intrexon if such infringement action is within the Exclusive Field, or (ii) retained by CONKWEST if such infringement action is outside of the Exclusive Field.

 

11


(d) CONKWEST’s Right to Enforce Outside the Field of Use. CONKWEST, in its sole discretion, retains the power but is not obligated, to enforce the Licensed Patents outside the Field of Use; provided, that in any proceeding in which the validity or enforceability of a Licensed Patent is asserted or that is otherwise likely to affect the enforcement of the Licensed Patents in the Field of Use, CONKWEST shall promptly notify Intrexon in writing and Intrexon may consult in the defense of any of the Licensed Patents at its own expense. CONKWEST shall consider in good faith any reasonable suggestions of Intrexon relative to the defense of the Licensed Patents.

8.3 Infringement of Third Party Intellectual Property.

(a) If any Third Party asserts a formal or informal claim against either Party (or any of their Affiliates, agents or sublicensees) alleging that any of the activities of Intrexon or its Affiliates or sublicensees with respect to the research, development or commercialization of Licensed Products infringes, misappropriates or violates the intellectual property rights of any Third Party, the Party first having notice of such claim shall promptly notify the other Party in writing. The notice shall set forth the facts of the claim in reasonable detail.

(b) Intrexon shall defend against any such Third Party claim brought against it, CONKWEST or any Party’s Affiliates, agents or sublicensees if such claim does not involve the Licensed Patents or Know-How; provided, that CONKWEST shall be entitled to be represented in such defense by counsel of its own choosing at CONKWEST’s sole expense. CONKWEST shall defend against any such Third Party claim brought against it, Intrexon or any Party’s Affiliates, agents or sublicensees if such claim involves the Licensed Patents or Know-How; provided, that Intrexon shall be entitled to be represented in such defense by counsel of its own choosing at Intrexon’s sole expense.

(c) All damages or other amounts, if any, payable to such Third Party pursuant to a final, unappealable court order or ruling or pursuant to a settlement effected in good faith (which settlement shall have been approved by both Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either Party), together with all reasonable defense costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, experts and witness fees, and other customary litigation costs and expenses) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred by the Party controlling the defense, shall be borne (i) solely by CONKWEST to the extent such Damages are caused by or arise from the acts or omissions of CONKWEST, including without limitation any breach of a representation or warranty of CONKWEST hereunder, and (ii) solely by Intrexon to the extent such Damages are caused by or arise from the acts or omissions of Intrexon or its Affiliates and sublicensees pursuant to its activities under this Agreement. To the extent either Party owes an amount to the other in accordance with the preceding allocation of financial responsibility, the Party who owes such amount shall pay it promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) after such order, ruling or settlement.

8.4 No Implied License for Infringement of Third Party Rights.

Licenses granted by CONKWEST herein are not to be construed as consent by CONKWEST to any act which may be performed by Intrexon or its Affiliates or sublicensees, except to the extent such act would otherwise constitute infringement of the Licensed Patents, Licensed Materials or Know-How absent the License expressly granted in this Agreement.

ATTACHMENT I

Procedure to Designate an Exclusive Indication for the Exclusive Field

Capitalized terms used in this Attachment I shall have the meanings given such terms in the Exclusive License Agreement dated February 23, 2010 (the “Agreement”), between CONKWEST Corporation (“CONKWEST”) and Intrexon Corporation (“Intrexon”).

Background

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Intrexon is entitled to designate up to [***] Exclusive Indications. Once designated pursuant to this Attachment I, the Exclusive Indication will constitute a portion of the Exclusive Field.

 

  1.

Intrexon may, at any time during the Term designate, by written notice to CONKWEST, an Exclusive Indication. An Exclusive Indication shall be for [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, an Exclusive Indication may not be an indication set forth in the Reserved Field. Additionally, an Exclusive Indication may not be an Additional CONKWEST Indication (as defined below).

 

  2.

If the Exclusive Indication is not within the Reserved Field and is not an Additional CONKWEST Indication, then the Exclusive Indication shall become part of the Exclusive Field for all purposes under the Agreement effective upon such notice to CONKWEST, subject to the provisions of subsection 3 below.

 

  3.

If Intrexon does not file an IND for a Licensed Product for the Exclusive Indication within [***] following the written notice provided by Intrexon to CONKWEST pursuant to Section 1 above, then the Exclusive Indication shall no longer be deemed to be part of the Exclusive Field from and after the prescribed date for such filing. Additionally, Intrexon may, by written notice to CONKWEST, withdraw any Exclusive Indication from the Exclusive Field, and from and after such removal, such Exclusive Indication shall not count toward the maximum of [***] Exclusive Indications.

 

  4.

If the Exclusive Indication designated by Intrexon pursuant to Section 1 above is an Additional CONKWEST Indication, then CONKWEST shall provide Intrexon with written notice that the Exclusive Indication is an Additional CONKWEST Indication within [***] of the date of the notice from Intrexon received pursuant to Section 1 above.

 

  5.

An “Additional CONKWEST Indication” is an indication or application licensed on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis by CONKWEST to a Third Party, or which CONKWEST is actively pursuing through its own clinical development. Notwithstanding any provision of this Attachment I to the contrary, CONKWEST shall provide Intrexon with as much advance notice as reasonably possible of a

 

Attachment I-1


 

proposed Additional CONKWEST Indication. The following procedures shall apply to any proposed Additional CONKWEST Indication:

 

  a.

If the proposed Additional CONKWEST Indication is to be the subject of a license to a Third Party, then prior to granting such license, CONKWEST shall provide Intrexon with written notice of this proposed license. Within [***] of receiving such notice, Intrexon shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate such indication as an Exclusive Indication by written notice to CONKWEST. Thereafter, the proposed Additional CONKWEST Indication shall constitute an Exclusive Indication, subject to the provisions of subsection 3 above. If Intrexon does not so designate such indication as an Exclusive Indication, then CONKWEST shall be free to grant the license to the Third Party and the indication or application shall become an Additional CONKWEST Indication, subject to the provisions of subsection (d), below.

 

  b.

If the proposed Additional CONKWEST Indication is to be developed by CONKWEST on its own, then CONKWEST shall provide Intrexon with written notice of its clinical development plans with respect to such indication. Within [***] of receiving such notice, Intrexon shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate such indication as an Exclusive Indication by written notice to CONKWEST. Thereafter, the proposed Additional CONKWEST Indication shall constitute an Exclusive Indication, subject to the provisions of subsection 3 above. If Intrexon does not so designate such indication as an Exclusive Indication, CONKWEST shall be free to develop the indication or application on its own and such indication or application shall become an Additional CONKWEST Indication, subject to the provisions of subsection (d), below.

 

  c.

Intrexon may only provide the notices referred to in subsections (a) or (b) above, if Intrexon has the reasonable good faith intent at the time of the notice that it will be pursuing such indication or application.

 

  d.

If within [***] of the designation of an Additional CONKWEST Indication pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) above, an IND for such Additional CONKWEST Indication has not been filed with FDA, EMEA, or the Canadian or Korean regulatory equivalents, then such Additional CONKWEST Indication shall be subject to designation by Intrexon as an Exclusive Indication pursuant to this Attachment I. For clarity, if an Additional CONKWEST Indication is designated as an Exclusive Indication pursuant to this subsection (d), then the rights of CONKWEST or a Third Party, as applicable to such Additional CONKWEST Indication shall be terminated upon such designation, subject to the provisions of this Attachment I.

 

Attachment I-2
