Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.10, the Parties will share all costs of a Recall with respect to any Collaboration Product as Sales and Marketing Costs.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall bear any and all costs of a Recall, market withdrawal or other corrective action with respect to a Collaboration Product in the Territory, including the Manufacturing Costs for the Collaboration Product in question, to the extent the Recall is attributable to the fault of such Party and results from (a) a grossly negligent or reckless act or omission or intentional misconduct of such Party (or its Affiliate, agent or permitted sublicensee), (b) in the case such Party is the Lead Manufacturing Party, the failure of the Lead Manufacturing Party or its Affiliate, agent or sublicensee to perform its responsibilities and Manufacture the Collaboration Product in compliance with the specifications (as set forth in the Commercial Supply Agreement), or with applicable Laws, including applicable Good Manufacturing Practices, (c) any defect or condition introduced by a Party, its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees following delivery of the Collaboration Product from the Lead Manufacturing Party or its contract manufacturer, into a Collaboration Product or its packaging or labeling, or (d) a breach of any Laws or the terms of this Agreement by such Party.

 

5.11                        Co-Promotion Agreement.  In the event that both Parties have their own sales forces with appropriate expertise or that the Parties otherwise agree to share promotional responsibilities with respect to one or more Collaboration Products in one or more countries, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a co-promotion agreement for such Collaboration Product in such countries to implement the promotional activities contemplated in the Commercialization Plan for such Collaboration Product in such country.

 

5.12                        Limitations on Commercialization.  After the Signing Date and during the Term, neither Party nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or through any Third Party, Commercialize any Collaboration Product outside of the Commercialization Plan, without the prior written consent of the other Party.

(b)           Trubion shall promptly notify existing Third Party manufacturers of execution of this Agreement, and, if Trubion proposes to materially amend, or to extend the term of, any existing Product manufacturing agreement with a Third Party, use Diligent Efforts to include Facet as a party to such agreement or to provide Facet with third party beneficiary rights with respect to such agreement and to allow for assignment of such agreement, or, if such agreement also applies to products that are not Products, assignment of all rights and obligations to the extent related to such Product, in each case from Trubion to Facet without consent from such Third Party manufacturer.

 

6.2          Pre-Clinical and Clinical Supply.  The Lead Manufacturing Party with respect to a particular Collaboration Product shall, by itself or through its Third Party contract manufacturers, timely supply all quantities of such Collaboration Product agreed upon by the JDC as required by the Parties to carry out all Development activities (pre-clinical and clinical) for such Collaboration Product pursuant to the Development Plan. Such quantities of Collaboration Product, and the schedule for such supply, shall be confirmed and if necessary updated by the JDC in a manner consistent with the Development Plan. Such supply shall be considered a Development Cost and charged on an accrual basis; provided that any [ * ] of [ * ] of the [ * ] shall [ * ] as [ * ].  [ * ] in [ * ] of the [ * ] shall [ * ] as [ * ] except when it is [ * ] to [ * ] or [ * ] after [ * ] by the [ * ].

determination of whether a second source of supply is appropriate.  In any event, the Lead Manufacturing Party shall notify the other Party and the JSC prior to entry into any such new, amended or renewed Third Party manufacturing agreement, and the JSC shall review and approve the proposed terms of such new, amended or renewed agreement; provided that such agreement may include, as agreed upon by the JSC (i) attempting to order in full lot or production run batches and otherwise reducing the Manufacturing Cost of Collaboration Product, (ii) providing for sufficient capacity and timely supply to satisfy the requirements of the then-current Development Plan, (iii) having Facet and Trubion as parties (and in any event third party beneficiaries) with respect to the rights and obligations related to Collaboration Products pursuant to such Third Party agreement, (iv) ensuring that in the event of the exercise or deemed exercise of an Opt-Out Option by a Party, the remaining Party shall be the sole obligor pursuant to such Third Party Agreement, (v) providing that the Parties shall have joint rights and obligations under the agreement with respect to Collaboration Product, but that one Party shall be designated as the “principal party” under such agreement, (v) providing both Parties with the right to audit and inspect such Third Party’s facilities on at least [ * ], which efforts shall be coordinated between the Parties in the event both Parties desire to conduct such audit and inspection, and (vi) providing for complete sharing of any and all information under and the terms and conditions of such agreement between the Parties.  The Lead Manufacturing Party shall be responsible for negotiating the terms of such agreement, with the other Party having consultation and review rights on the terms of such Third Party agreement.

 

6.5          Commercial Supply Agreement.  Unless a Party has already exercised its Opt-Out Option or is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option under Section 14.2(b), at least [ * ] prior to the anticipated commercial launch of a Collaboration Product, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a manufacturing and supply agreement (the “Commercial Supply Agreement”) governing the commercial supply of such Collaboration Product. Such Commercial Supply Agreement shall contain customary terms governing such manufacturing and supply relationships, but shall in any event provide as follows:

 

(a)           Collaboration Product (i) shall meet the agreed specification, then-current GMP and be manufactured in accordance with applicable Laws including prohibitions on adulteration and misbranding, (ii) shall be supplied by or on behalf of the Lead Manufacturing Party in a timely manner consistent with established and agreed manufacturing and delivery schedules; and (iii) shall be supplied at a cost equal to the Manufacturing Cost of such Collaboration Product.

 

(b)           Upon a material and uncured breach by the Lead Manufacturing Party of its supply obligations, the other Party shall have the right to obtain the transfer and the Lead Manufacturing Party shall have the obligation to (i) effect such transfer [ * ] to the other Party, without undue delay, of any and all manufacturing technology reasonably necessary for the Manufacture of the applicable Collaboration Product included in the Trubion Know-How or included in the Facet Know-How that (x) has been applied to the Manufacture of the applicable Collaboration Product prior to Facet ceasing to be the Lead Manufacturing Party, or (y) is [ * ] in the [ * ] applied to the Manufacture of the applicable Collaboration Product [ * ], as applicable, not already in the other Party’s possession in the form and format in which such Know-How is maintained by the Lead Manufacturing Party or its Third Party manufacturers in the ordinary course of business, and to (ii) at the other Party’s request, use Diligent Efforts to obtain an

assignment of any Third Party manufacturing agreement in each case as reasonably necessary to enable the other Party to Manufacture or have Manufactured Collaboration Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that the Lead Manufacturing Party shall be required to assign any such agreement solely to the extent assignment is permitted by such agreement, provided that the Lead Manufacturing Party uses Diligent Efforts to obtain any consent necessary for such assignment, and the Lead Manufacturing Party is not required to pay any consideration or commence litigation in order to effect an assignment of any such agreement to the other Party. In the event the Lead Manufacturing Party exercises or is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option pursuant to Article 7, Section 8.5 or Section 14.2(b), then Sections 7.5(b)(iii) and 7.5(b)(x) shall apply.

 

(c)           The Manufacturing Costs of commercial supplies of Collaboration Product as well as the duty, freight, postage, shipping, transportation, insurance, warehousing and handling charges actually allowed or paid with regard to such Collaboration Product shall be included in the calculation of cost of goods sold as part of Commercialization Costs.

 

6.6          Facility Audits.  The JDC shall propose and submit to the JSC for approval a schedule for periodic audit and inspection of the facilities of any Third Party contract manufacturer on at least an annual basis subject to the terms of any applicable existing contract with a Third Party contract manufacturer.  Pursuant to the schedule approved by the JSC, or upon request of the JDC, the Lead Manufacturing Party shall conduct an inspection or audit of the facilities of such Third Party contract manufacturers.  The Lead Manufacturing Party shall provide not less than [ * ] notice to the other Party of any planned inspection and such other Party shall be permitted to participate in any audit, provided that, if the consent of the Third Party contract manufacturer is required under the applicable contract to allow such other Party to participate in such audit, the Lead Manufacturing Party shall use Diligent Efforts to obtain such consent. Any inspection or audit requested by the JDC (other than pursuant to the schedule approved by the JSC) shall be conducted no more frequently than [ * ] at a given facility, and shall occur as promptly as possible following written notice by the JDC of its desire for such inspection or audit, but in no event shall such inspection commence later than [ * ] thereafter (unless such audit is triggered by a material safety or GMP non-conformance issue, in which case the audit may be conducted as frequently as necessary and the maximum notice period shall be [ * ] if permitted under the applicable contract).  Costs associated with auditing shall be Development Costs or Commercialization Costs as applicable.

 

6.7          Quality Agreement.  The Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a quality agreement governing the quality control, quality assurance and validation of the commercial and clinical supply of Bulk API and Product.

to Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 8.5 by providing a written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Non-Opt-Out Party.

 

7.2          Opt-Out Option.  Each Party may, on a Product-by-Product basis, exercise its Opt-Out Option with respect to any Collaboration Product by providing an Opt-Out Notice to the other Party during one of the following periods: (a) the period beginning with the [ * ] for such Collaboration Product and ending [ * ] later; (b) the period beginning with the [ * ] for such Collaboration Product and ending [ * ] later.  In addition, Trubion may, on a Product-by-Product basis, exercise its Opt-Out Option with respect to any Collaboration Product by providing an Opt-Out Notice to Facet at any time after [ * ] after the [ * ] and prior to the [ * ] for such Collaboration Product.  Each such Opt-Out Notice shall identify the Collaboration Product for which the Opt-Out Party is exercising the Opt-Out Option (the “Opt-Out Product”).  If a Party is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option pursuant to Section 14.2(b), all Collaboration Products shall be deemed Opt-Out Products and Royalty Products.

 

7.3          Opt-Out Option Following Change of Control.  If either Party (the “Acquired Party”) experiences a Change of Control, it shall inform the other Party within [ * ] following the effectiveness of such Change of Control and it shall use Diligent Efforts to arrange for the acquiring entity to discuss with the other Party the acquiring entity’s (a) intentions with respect to the Development and Commercialization of the Collaboration Products and (b) contemplated proposals for amending the Development Plan and, if applicable, Commercialization Plan for each Collaboration Product, and the other Party may exercise its Opt-Out Option with respect to all Collaboration Products by providing an Opt-Out Notice to the Acquired Party or its successor in interest within [ * ] of such Change of Control and all Collaboration Products shall become Opt-Out Products on the Opt-Out Effective Date.

 

7.4          Opt-Out Effective Date. An Opt-Out Option shall become effective [ * ] after the Non-Opt-Out Party’s receipt of such Opt-Out Notice (the “Opt-Out Effective Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party, after uncured material breach, is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option pursuant to Section 14.2(b), then both the date of the Opt-Out Notice and the Opt-Out Effective Date for such Opt-Out Option shall be deemed to be the date on which the other Party provides the notice under Section 14.2(b) to continue this Agreement and all Collaboration Products shall become Royalty Products on such date.

 

7.5          Consequences of Opt-Out.

 

(a)           The Opt-Out Party’s obligations and rights to Co-Develop and Co-Commercialize a particular Opt-Out Product shall terminate upon the applicable Opt-Out Effective Date, and the Opt-Out Party shall have no liability for Development Costs or Commercialization Costs incurred by the Non-Opt-Out Party in respect of the Opt-Out Product(s) following the Opt-Out Effective Date, provided, however, that the Opt-Out Party shall remain liable for its share of (i) [ * ] for all [ * ] for the [ * ] that were [ * ] to the [ * ] to the extent that such [ * ] for such [ * ] by [ * ] the [ * ] therefor in the [ * ] that was [ * ] on the [ * ], (ii) all other [ * ] and all [ * ] with respect to the [ * ] the [ * ] in accordance and consistent with the [ * ] or [ * ], as applicable and [ * ], and (iii) all [ * ], including [ * ] and [ * ], [ * ] in connection with [ * ] and [ * ] under Section [ * ], to the extent related to [ * ], [ * ], [ * ] or [ * ] of the applicable [ * ] within the Field anywhere in the Territory [ * ] the [ * ] and [ * ] the [ * ]

(v)            all Committees except the JPC shall cease to have any rights, obligations or decision-making capabilities with respect to such Royalty Product and, if there are no Collaboration Products still being pursued at such time, shall disband until such time, if ever, that a Collaboration Product is being pursued.  All decisions that were made by such Committees under this Agreement with respect to the Royalty Product prior to the Opt-Out Effective Date shall thereafter be made solely by the Non-Opt-Out Party consistent with such Party’s obligations under Section 7.5(b)(i). The JPC shall continue subject to Section 10.3 unless a Party has exercised or is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option in respect of all Collaboration Products, in which case all decisions that were made by the JPC prior to the Opt-Out Effective Date shall be made solely by the Non-Opt-Out Party consistent with such Party’s obligations under Section 7.5(b)(i);

 

(vi)          if the Opt-Out Party is the Lead Manufacturing Party of the Royalty Product(s), as part of and during the period of the Transition Assistance (1) the Non-Opt-Out Party shall have the right to require the Opt-Out Party to continue supplying Bulk API and finished Product for such Royalty Product(s) under the terms of Article 6 for a period of up to eighteen (18) months (provided that the Non-Opt-Out Party shall use Diligent Efforts to find one or more alternative suppliers for Bulk API and finished Product as soon as reasonably possible following the exercise of the Opt-Out Option), and (2) the Non-Opt-Out Party shall have the right to obtain transfer, and the Opt-Out-Party shall have the obligation to effect transfer, without undue delay, of any and all manufacturing technology included in the Facet Applied Know-How or Trubion Know-How, as applicable, that is reasonably necessary to enable the Non-Opt-Out Party to Manufacture, or have Manufactured such Royalty Product(s). The Non-Opt-Out Party automatically owns one-half (1/2) of any or all of the inventory in existence as of the Opt-Out Effective Date of Bulk API and/or finished Product for such Royalty Product (such inventory, the “Existing Inventory”).  In addition, the Non-Opt-Out Party shall have the right to purchase the other half of the Existing Inventory from the Opt-Out Party by reimbursing the Opt-Out Party for the Manufacturing Costs with respect to such Existing Inventory. The Non-Opt-Out Party shall notify the Opt-Out Party within [ * ] after the Effective Opt-Out Date whether the Non-Opt-Out Party elects to exercise such right to purchase the other half of the Existing Inventory;

 

(vii)         the Opt-Out Party shall, as promptly as commercially practicable, assign to the Non-Opt-Out Party all right, title and interest in and to the Marks owned by the Opt-Out Party that were used or intended to be used with the Royalty Products (excluding any

subject to Sections 3.5(a) and 3.5(b), to subcontractors or consultants to perform such Party’s assigned Development, Manufacturing or Commercialization responsibilities under this Agreement with respect to Collaboration Products, further provided that (A) such Party remains responsible for the work allocated to, and payment to, such subcontractors and consultants to the same extent it would if it were doing such work itself, (B) such sublicense shall be subject and subordinate to, and consistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (C) such sublicense shall not in any way diminish, reduce or eliminate any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and (D) such Party uses Diligent Efforts to include in such sublicense agreement a provision which permits such Party to provide a copy of such sublicense agreement to the other Party, which copy may be redacted to exclude confidential information not related to the applicable Collaboration Product.  Unless prohibited by the terms of the sublicense, such Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of each such sublicense agreement entered into after the Signing Date within [ * ] after the execution thereof, which agreement may be redacted to exclude confidential information not related to the applicable Collaboration Product.

 

(b)           Joint Sublicense.  The Parties acknowledge that they may, upon mutual agreement, both grant sublicenses to a Third Party with respect to a particular Collaboration Product, including with respect to a particular country or indication.

 

(c)           Upon Opt-Out.  At any time after its delivery or deemed delivery of a Pursuit Notice with respect to a particular Royalty Product, the Non-Opt-Out Party may grant to one or more Third Parties sublicenses of some or all of the rights granted to it under Section 8.1 or 8.2(b), as applicable, but only with respect to such Royalty Product; provided that the Non-Opt-Out Party shall execute a written agreement with each such permitted sublicensee, which sublicense (i) shall be subject and subordinate to, and consistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) shall not in any way diminish, reduce or eliminate any of the Non-Opt-Out Party’s obligations under this Agreement, (iii) shall require each such permitted sublicensee to comply with all applicable terms of this Agreement, including to keep books and records, and (iv) shall permit the Non-Opt-Out Party to audit (either directly or through an independent auditor) such books and records.  The Non-Opt-Out Party shall provide the Opt-Out Party with a copy of each such sublicense agreement within [ * ] after the execution thereof.  Such copy may be redacted to exclude confidential, non-Royalty Product-related information and financial information (other than such financial information that is necessary for assessing the obligations to the Opt-Out Party under this Agreement).  Upon the Opt-Out Party’s request and at the Opt-Out Party’s expense, the Non-Opt-Out Party shall exercise its right to conduct an audit of a sublicensee’s books and records pertaining to the sale of the applicable Royalty Product under any such sublicense agreement at the next time that conducting such an audit is permissible under such sublicense agreement.  The Non-Opt-Out Party shall provide the Opt-Out Party with a copy of the report of the findings made in any such audit.  If such audit reveals that such sublicensee has understated its Net Sales by [ * ] or more, the Non-Opt-Out Party shall be responsible for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the Opt-Out Party in conducting the audit.  The Non-Opt-Out Party shall remain responsible for its obligations hereunder and for the performance of its sublicensees (including, without limitation, making all payments due to the Opt-Out Party by reason of any Net Sales of Royalty Product), and shall ensure that any such sublicensees comply with all relevant provisions of this Agreement.  In the event of any uncured material breach by any sublicensee under a sublicense agreement that would constitute a material breach of the Non-Opt-Out Party’s obligations under this Agreement, the Non-Opt-Out Party

will promptly inform the Opt-Out Party in writing and shall take such action which in the Non-Opt-Out Party’s reasonable business judgment will address such default; provided, however, any such uncured material breach by such sublicensee of an obligation that would constitute a material breach of the Non-Opt-Out Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed an uncured material breach of the Non-Opt-Out Party hereunder unless the Non-Opt-Out Party cures such material breach within the time provided under Section 14.2.

 

8.4          No Implied Rights.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall be deemed by estoppel or implication to have granted the other Party any license or other right with respect to any intellectual property of such Party.

 

8.5          Exclusivity.  Except for the Development and Commercialization of Products pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, during the Term neither Party shall Develop or Commercialize any protein therapeutic, including any [ * ], that binds to the CD37 Antigen (or a [ * ]) [ * ] of [ * ] and wherein such protein therapeutic is [ * ] or [ * ] to [ * ] its [ * ] through [ * ] the [ * ] (or a [ * ]) (a “Competing Program”).  In the event that, due to a Change of Control of a Party, such Party, or its successor in interest, is conducting a Competing Program during the Term of this Agreement, then such Party, or its successor in interest, shall either (a) exercise its Opt-Out Option with respect to all Collaboration Products by providing an Opt-Out Notice to the other Party; or (b) divest such Competing Program to a Third Party, in each case within [ * ] of such Change of Control.

 

8.6          [ * ].  Each Party shall promptly bring to the attention of the JSC (or the other Party if there is no JSC in place at the time) any [ * ] that such Party wishes to Develop and Commercialize during the Term. Upon the recommendation of the JSC (or the mutual agreement of the Parties if there is no JSC in place at the time), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an agreement to Develop and Commercialize such [ * ] on commercially reasonable terms.

 

8.7          Third Party Licenses.  If the JPC determines that it is advisable or necessary to obtain a license (“Future Third Party License”) to any intellectual property right that is owned or controlled by a Third Party and is reasonably necessary or useful to the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of a Collaboration Product, the JPC shall so advise the JSC.  If the JSC determines to seek a license, the JSC shall designate a Party to negotiate the terms on which such a Third Party license would be granted and to serve as the primary point of contact with the applicable Third Party licensor following the execution of the license agreement.  Upon approval of the terms of such Future Third Party License by the JSC, the designated Party may execute such Future Third Party License and any payments that become due pursuant to a Future Third Party License agreement executed pursuant to this Section 8.7 will be treated as Development Costs or Commercialization Costs, as applicable, if incurred prior to the Opt-Out Effective Date or after the Opt-Out Effective Date but with respect to a Collaboration Product. If a Party delivers or is deemed to have delivered a Pursuit Notice for a Collaboration Product, any payments arising under a Future Third Party License from the Development, Manufacturing or Commercialization of the applicable Royalty Product shall be paid by such Non-Opt-Out Party, subject to Section 9.5(e)(iii).

9.             CONSIDERATION.

 

9.1          Upfront Payment.  Facet shall pay to Trubion Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) within ten (10) days after the Signing Date, which payment shall be non-refundable and non-creditable.

 

9.2          Equity Investment.  Facet and Trubion have entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C, pursuant to which Facet will purchase from Trubion and Trubion will sell to Facet Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) of newly issued shares of common stock of Trubion at a purchase price per share equal to One Hundred Thirty-Five Percent (135%) of the average closing price of a share of common stock of Trubion over the sixty (60) trading days prior to the Signing Date provided that such purchase price (including the 35% premium) shall not be greater than $[ * ]/share or lower than $[ * ]/share of common stock of Trubion.

 

9.3          Development Milestone Payments.  Facet shall make milestone payments (each a “Milestone Payment”) to Trubion based on the first achievement of each milestone event in the Field, in the Territory for each Product as set forth in this Section 9.3. No Milestone Payment shall be made twice with respect to the same Product. For the purposes of this Section 9.3, two Products are deemed the “same Product” if one Product contains, as its active pharmaceutical ingredient, (i) the same [ * ] or [ * ] that is [ * ] in the [ * ], (ii) a [ * ] that is a [ * ] or [ * ] form of the [ * ] or [ * ] that is [ * ] in the [ * ] or (iii) a [ * ] that is a [ * ] or [ * ] form of a [ * ] or [ * ] from which the [ * ] in the [ * ] was [ * ] or [ * ].  Facet shall pay to Trubion the amounts set forth below, within [ * ] after the first achievement of the corresponding milestone event with respect to the Product.  Each Milestone Payment is non-refundable and non-creditable against any other payments due hereunder, provided that if the Development of a Product is abandoned, any Milestone Payments made with respect to such abandoned Product may be credited against the corresponding Milestone Payments payable on a Product which achieves such milestones after the abandonment of the other Product. For the purposes of this Section 9.3, the “[ * ]” of a Clinical Trial shall occur upon the [ * ] of the [ * ] in such [ * ], “[ * ]” and “[ * ]” shall be [ * ] by the [ * ] in advance with respect to such [ * ] in the [ * ] or, following [ * ] for the applicable [ * ], [ * ] by the [ * ] in advance with respect to such [ * ] in [ * ] for the [ * ]. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Trubion is deemed pursuant to Section 14.2(b) to have exercised its Opt-Out Option with respect to all Products on account of an uncured material breach by Trubion, the amount of the milestone payments due pursuant to this Section 9.3 with respect to milestone events achieved by all Products after Facet has provided Trubion with written notice of continuation in accordance with Section 14.2(b) shall be reduced by [ * ].

9.4          Sharing of Product Profit.

 

(a)           Allocation.  Facet and Trubion shall share equally in Product Profit (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes sharing of losses in a given period if the calculation of Product Profit for such period is negative) arising from the sale of each Collaboration Product in the Field in the Territory.

 

(b)           FTE Records and Calculations.  Each Party shall record its FTE effort for the Commercialization of each Collaboration Product to the extent that such FTE efforts are included in Commercialization Costs that are, or may in the future be, shared under this Agreement, and shall report such FTE effort to the JCC, on a Calendar Quarterly basis, in each case in a manner that allocates such FTE effort to the extent practicable to each applicable Collaboration Product.  Except to the extent provided herein, each Party shall calculate and maintain records of FTE effort incurred by it in the same manner as used for other products commercialized by such Party in accordance with a methodology approved by the JSC.  The JFC shall facilitate any reporting hereunder.

 

(c)           Commercialization Costs Accounts.  Each Party shall charge all Commercialization Costs as incurred by it or its Affiliates on its books and records in connection with each Commercialization Plan.  Each Party shall provide the other Party with an interim quarterly report of monthly estimates for the current Calendar Quarter charges within [ * ] after the end of the second calendar month in each Calendar Quarter.

52



 

(d)           Other Expenses.  Any expenses incurred by a Party for Commercialization activities that do not fall within the definitions of Commercialization Costs shall be borne solely by such Party unless the JSC determines otherwise. In addition, each Party shall bear all costs incurred pursuant to the Commercialization Plan, that exceed the portion of the Commercialization Budget allocated to the Party with respect to the relevant Calendar Quarter by more than [ * ] unless otherwise approved by the JSC.

 

(e)           Pre-existing Obligations. Unless otherwise determined by the JSC, any manufacturing obligations in existence prior to the Signing Date, such as manufacturing capacity reservation or other obligations described in Section 6.3, other than those disclosed in writing by the obligated Party prior to the Signing Date and specifically agreed upon by the Parties, will not be considered Commercialization Costs and will not be subject to expense sharing.

 

(f)            Reporting.  Within [ * ] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, commencing with the first Calendar Quarter in which the Parties are implementing a Commercialization Plan for a particular Collaboration Product, each Party shall report to the JCC and the JFC its gross sales and Commercialization Costs for such Collaboration Product in the Territory.  In addition, each Party shall provide the JCC and the JFC with a monthly statement on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis of the amount of gross sales of Collaboration Products.

 

(g)           Payment.  Within [ * ] after receipt of such reports, the JFC shall provide for such Collaboration Product a consolidated financial statement setting forth the Product Profit for such Collaboration Product and calculating each Party’s fifty percent (50%) share of such Product Profit. Thereafter the following remittance obligations shall apply for such Collaboration Product depending on whether such Product Profit is positive or negative:

 

(i)            If there is positive Product Profit for such Calendar Quarter, then one Party shall make a payment to the other Party within [ * ] following delivery of the financial statement referenced above in an amount that will cause each Party to have received an equal share of the Product Profit for such Calendar Quarter.

 

(ii)           If there is negative Product Profit for such Calendar Quarter, then one Party shall make a payment to the other Party so that each Party will bear an equal share of the Product Profit for such Calendar Quarter.  Such payment shall be made within [ * ] following delivery of the financial statement referenced above.

 

(h)           Records.  Each Party shall keep detailed records of the Commercialization Costs it incurs, including all supporting documentation for such expenses, and remits for payment. Each Party shall keep such records for at least [ * ] after the date that such expense was incurred.

(e)           Reduced Royalty Rate.

 

(i)            If a Royalty Product is generating Net Sales in a country during the applicable Royalty Period at a time when there is no Valid Claim covering such Royalty Product in such country of sale within the Trubion Patent Rights or the Facet Applied Patent Rights, then the royalty rate applicable to Net Sales of such Royalty Product in such country shall be reduced by [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the applicable royalty rate set forth in Section 9.5(a)-(d).

 

(ii)           If a Royalty Product is generating Net Sales in a country during the applicable Royalty Period at a time when a competing product is being actively marketed and sold in such country, then the royalty rate applicable to Net Sales of such Royalty Product in such country shall be reduced by [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the applicable royalty rate set forth in Section 9.5(a)-(d). For purposes of this Section 9.5(e)(ii), “competing product” shall mean a third party protein therapeutic that (a) [ * ] the [ * ] (or a [ * ]) [ * ] of [ * ] and wherein such protein therapeutic is [ * ] or [ * ] or [ * ] to [ * ] through [ * ] the [ * ] (or a [ * ]), and (b) is [ * ] for the [ * ] the [ * ].

 

(iii)         The Non-Opt-Out Party may, subject to Section 9.5(e)(iv), deduct from the royalties it would otherwise owe to the Opt-Out Party pursuant to this Section 9.5 for Third Party licenses entered into after the Signing Date, including Future Third Party Licenses, an amount equal to [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the amounts paid to Third Parties in consideration for intellectual property rights that the Non-Opt-Out Party reasonably believes are necessary in connection with the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Royalty Product in the Field in the Territory.

56



 

(g)           Cumulative Royalties.  The obligation to pay royalties under Section 9.5 shall be imposed only once with respect to a single unit of a Royalty Product, regardless of how many Valid Claims included within the Trubion Patent Rights, or Facet Applied Patent Rights would, but for this Agreement, be infringed by the Manufacture, use, import, offer for sale or sale of such Royalty Product in the countr(y)ies in the Territory of such Manufacture, use or sale.

 

(h)           Royalty Product Reports and Payments.  During the Royalty Period, within [ * ] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, the Non-Opt-Out Party shall deliver to the Opt-Out Party a report setting forth for such Calendar Quarter the following information, on a Royalty Product-by-Royalty Product and country-by-country basis: (a) the gross sales amount (by the Non-Opt-Out Party, its Affiliates and permitted sublicensees) for each Royalty Product sold in the Field in the Territory, on a country-by-country basis; (b) the Net Sales for each Royalty Product; and (c) the royalty amount due hereunder for the sale of each Royalty Product.  No such reports shall be due for any Royalty Product before the First Commercial Sale of such Royalty Product in the Territory.  The total royalty due for the sale of Royalty Products during such Calendar Quarter shall be remitted at the time such report is made.

 

9.6          Taxes and Withholding.  All payments due from one Party to another under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable Laws to be assessed against the receiving Party.  If the paying Party is so required to deduct or withhold, the paying Party will (a) promptly notify the receiving Party of such requirement, (b) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against the receiving Party, (c) promptly forward to the receiving Party an official receipt (or certified copy) or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the receiving Party evidencing such payment to such authorities, and (d) otherwise reasonably cooperate with the receiving Party in connection with the receiving Party’s attempts to obtain favorable tax treatment and credit therefor (where appropriate) in accordance with applicable Laws.

 

9.7          Currency.  All amounts payable and calculations hereunder shall be in Dollars. Conversion of sales recorded in local currencies to Dollars will be performed in a manner consistent with a Party’s normal practices used to prepare its financial statements and consistent with GAAP, provided that such practices use a widely accepted source of published exchange rates (and are approved by the JCC as applicable).

 

9.8          Interest on Past Due Payments.  If either Party fails to pay any payment due under this Agreement on or before the date such payment is due, as provided in this Agreement, such late payment shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, at the [ * ] as [ * ] from time to time [ * ], effective for the first date on which payment was delinquent and calculated on the number of days such payment is overdue or, if such rate is [ * ], as [ * ] as the Parties agree.

 

9.9          Maintenance of Records; Audits; Consolidation.

 

(a)           Record Keeping.  Each Party shall keep accurate books and accounts of record in accordance with GAAP in connection with the Development, Manufacture and

Commercialization of Products, and the calculation of payments to be made under this Agreement in sufficient detail to permit accurate determination of all amounts necessary for verification of royalties and other payments to be paid from one Party to another under this Agreement.  Each Party shall maintain such records for a period of at least [ * ] after the end of the Calendar Year in which they were generated.

 

(b)           Audits.  Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, a Party (the “Auditing Party”) may conduct and the other Party (the “Audited Party”) shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by the Auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the Audited Party, to examine, at the Auditing Party’s sole expense, the relevant books and records of the Audited Party as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of (a) reports for Development Costs, (b) Manufacturing Costs, (c) Commercialization Costs and (d) the reports submitted by the Audited Party in accordance with this Agreement in connection with the payment of royalties and other amounts hereunder.  An examination by the Auditing Party under this Section 9.9(b) shall occur not more than once in any Calendar Year and shall be limited to the pertinent books and records for any Calendar Year ending not more than [ * ] before the date of the request.  The accounting firm shall be provided access to such books and records at the Audited Party’s facility(ies) where such books and records are normally kept and such examination shall be conducted during the Audited Party’s normal business hours.  The Audited Party may require the accounting firm to sign a standard non-disclosure agreement before providing the accounting firm access to the Audited Party’s facilities or records.  Upon completion of the audit, the accounting firm shall provide both the Audited Party and the Auditing Party a written report disclosing whether the reports submitted by the Audited Party are correct or incorrect, whether the amounts paid are correct or incorrect, and in each case, the specific details concerning any discrepancies.  No other information shall be provided to the Auditing Party.

 

(c)           Underpayments/Overpayments.  If such accounting firm concludes that additional royalties or other payments were due to the Auditing Party, the Audited Party shall pay to the Auditing Party the additional amounts within [ * ] of the date the Audited Party receives such accountant’s written report so concluding.  If an underpayment exceeds [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the amounts that were to be paid to the Auditing Party, the Audited Party also shall reimburse the Auditing Party for all costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conducting the audit.  If such accounting firm concludes that the Audited Party overpaid the Auditing Party, the Auditing Party, within [ * ] of the date the Auditing Party receives such account’s report so concluding, will refund such overpayments to the Audited Party less the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Auditing Party in conducting the audit.

 

(d)           Confidentiality.  All financial information of the Audited Party with respect to a Royalty Product which is subject to review under this Section 9.9 shall be deemed to be the Audited Party’s Confidential Information subject to the provisions of Article 11, and the Auditing Party shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party or use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than verifying payments to be made by the Audited Party with respect to such Royalty Product; provided, however, that such Confidential Information may be disclosed by the Auditing Party to Third Parties only to the extent necessary to enforce the Auditing Party’s rights under this Agreement.

10.3        Prosecution of Patents.

 

(a)           Trubion Core Patent Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.3, as between the Parties, Trubion shall have the sole right and authority to prepare, file, prosecute (including any oppositions, interferences, reissue proceedings, reexaminations and post-grant proceedings) and maintain the Trubion Core Patent Rights in any jurisdiction in the Territory, provided that decisions regarding any claims within the Trubion Core Patent Rights that claim the [ * ] or [ * ] of [ * ] or [ * ] in the [ * ] and do not claim the [ * ] or [ * ] of [ * ] that is [ * ] shall be made by the JPC. Trubion shall provide Facet (i) a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such filing and prosecution efforts regarding the Trubion Core Patent Rights in the Territory; (ii) a copy of each material communication received from any patent authority in the Territory regarding the Trubion Core Patent Rights, and (iii) drafts of any material filings or material responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. If Trubion determines in its sole discretion to abandon, cease prosecution or not maintain any Trubion Core Patent Right anywhere in the Territory, then Trubion shall provide Facet written notice of such determination at least [ * ] before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment (or other loss of rights) and shall provide Facet with the opportunity to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Trubion Core Patent Right in the affected countries of the Territory on behalf of Trubion. If Facet desires Trubion to file, in a particular jurisdiction in the Territory, a Trubion Core Patent Right that claims priority to (or is based on the subject matter of) another Trubion Core Patent Right, Facet shall provide written notice to Trubion requesting that Trubion file such patent application in such jurisdiction. If Facet provides such written notice to Trubion, Trubion shall either (i) file and prosecute such patent application and maintain any patent issuing thereon in such jurisdiction, or (ii) notify Facet that Trubion does not desire to file such patent application and provide Facet with the opportunity to file and prosecute such patent application and maintain any patent issuing thereon on behalf of Trubion. Facet’s rights under this Section 10.3 with respect to any Trubion Core Patent Right licensed to Trubion by a Third Party shall be subject to the rights of such Third Party to file, prosecute, and/or maintain such Trubion Core Patent Right.  Facet shall be responsible for [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the out-of-pocket costs incurred by Trubion in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Trubion Core Patent Rights and such costs shall not be included in Development Costs or Commercialization Costs.  If Facet provides written notice to Trubion that Facet is no longer interested in maintaining a license to a particular Trubion Core Patent Right in a particular country, Facet will not be responsible for any portion of the costs incurred by Trubion after the date of such notice in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of such Trubion Core Patent Right in such country, and the license granted to Facet under such Trubion Core Patent Right in such country shall terminate upon the delivery of such notice.  If Facet assumes responsibility for any Trubion Core Patent Rights, then all costs incurred by Facet in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining such Trubion Core Patent Rights shall be borne by Facet, without reimbursement by Trubion, and such costs shall not be included in Development Costs or Commercialization Costs.  If Trubion has exercised or is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option in respect of all Products under this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, 7.3, 8.5 or 14.2(b), following the Opt-Out Effective Date, all costs incurred by Trubion in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Trubion Core Patent Rights shall be borne solely by Trubion.  If Facet has exercised or is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option in respect of all Products under this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, 7.3, 8.5 or 14.2(b),

following the Opt-Out Effective Date, all costs incurred by Trubion in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Trubion Core Patent Rights shall be borne solely by Trubion and Facet shall not have any rights pursuant to this Section 10.3(a) with respect to the Trubion Core Patent Rights; provided, however, if Facet notifies Trubion in writing within [ * ] following the Opt-Out Effective Date, with respect to one or more Trubion Core Patent Rights, that Facet will continue to be responsible for [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the out-of-pocket costs incurred by Trubion in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining such Trubion Core Patent Right(s), then Facet will continue to have all rights set forth in this Section 10.3(a) with respect to such Trubion Core Patent Right(s).

 

(b)                                  Trubion Product Patent Rights, Facet Product Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights.

material filings or material responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. If the Non-Opt-Out Party determines to abandon, cease prosecution or not maintain any such Patent Right anywhere in the Territory, then it shall provide the Opt-Out Party written notice of such determination at least [ * ] before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment (or other loss of rights) and shall provide the Opt-Out Party with the opportunity to assume the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patent Right in the affected countries of the Territory.  Each Party shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of the costs it incurs in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining such Patent Rights and such costs shall not be included in Development Costs or Commercialization Costs.

 

(iii)                            If a Party has exercised its Opt-Out Option and the Non-Opt-Out Party has delivered a Pursuit Notice, but the Parties still are actively Developing or Commercializing one or more Collaboration Products (i.e. Products for which neither Party has exercised its Opt-Out Option), then (i) the provisions of Section 10.3(b)(ii) shall apply to (1) all Joint Patent Rights, Trubion Product Patent Rights and Facet Product Patent Rights that claim the [ * ] or [ * ] of a [ * ] and [ * ] in each case in all jurisdictions in the Territory and (2) all claims within the Trubion Core Patent Rights that claim the [ * ] or [ * ] of [ * ] or [ * ] in the [ * ] and do not claim the [ * ] or [ * ] of [ * ], and (ii) the provisions of Section 10.3(b)(i) shall apply to (1) any other Joint Patent Right, Trubion Product Patent Rights and Facet Product Patent Rights and (2) all claims within the Trubion Core Patent Rights that claim the [ * ] or [ * ] of [ * ] or [ * ] in the [ * ] and do not claim the [ * ] or [ * ] of [ * ].

 

(c)                                  Divisional Patent Application.  At the request of Facet or at Trubion’s election, Trubion shall file a continuation or divisional patent application of any Trubion Core Patent Right that contains a claim that claims the [ * ] or [ * ] of [ * ] or [ * ] in the [ * ] and does not claim the [ * ] or [ * ] of [ * ] that is [ * ], including U.S. Patent Application Serial Number [ * ], if permitted by applicable Laws, shall pursue in such continuation or divisional patent applications claims specifically directed to one or more Products and shall not pursue in such continuation or divisional patent applications any claims specifically directed to the product known as [ * ] or any other product that is not a Product.  Such continuation or divisional patent applications shall be deemed Trubion Product Patent Rights.

 

(d)                                  Patents Licensed from Third Parties.  If either Party licenses after the Signing Date any Patent Rights from a Third Party and such Patent Rights qualify as Trubion Patent Rights or Facet Product Patent Rights, then each Party’s rights under this Section 10.3 with respect to such Patent Rights shall be subject to the rights of such Third Party to prosecute, maintain and extend such Patent Rights.

15.                               DISPUTE RESOLUTION; LIABILITY.

 

15.1        General.  Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled, if possible, through good faith negotiations between the Parties.  If, however, the Parties are unable to settle such dispute after good faith negotiations, the matter shall be referred to the Executive Officers to be resolved by negotiation in good faith as soon as is practicable but in no event later than [ * ] after referral.

 

15.2        Failure of Executive Officers to Resolve Dispute.  If the Executive Officers are unable to settle the dispute after good faith negotiation in the manner set forth above or in Section 2.7, the matter (a) shall be resolved in accordance with Section 15.3, and (b) either Party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court in any jurisdiction where appropriate.

 

15.3        Arbitration.  Matters under Section 15.2 which are to be resolved through binding arbitration shall be settled by traditional arbitration or, for matters specifically identified in Section 2.7(c)(a), baseball arbitration, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except to the extent such rules are inconsistent with this Section 15.3. The proceedings and decisions of the arbitrators shall be confidential, final and binding on the Parties, and judgment upon the award of such arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

shall have educational training and industry experience sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of scientific, financial, medical and industry knowledge relevant to the particular dispute.  The written decision of the arbitrators shall state the panel’s findings of material facts and the grounds for its conclusions and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(c)           Baseball Arbitration will be conducted by one (1) arbitrator who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Parties and who shall be appointed in accordance with AAA rules.  If the Parties are unable to select an arbitrator within [ * ] of the notice that initiated the baseball arbitration, then the arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with AAA rules.

Within [ * ] after the selection of the arbitrator, each Party shall submit to the arbitrator and the other Party a proposed resolution of the dispute that is the subject of the arbitration, together with any relevant evidence in support thereof (the “Proposals”).  Within [ * ] after the delivery of the last Proposal to the arbitrator, each Party may submit a written rebuttal of the other Party’s Proposal and may also amend and re-submit its original Proposal.  The Parties and the arbitrator shall meet within [ * ] after the Parties have submitted their final Proposals (and rebuttals, if any), at which time each Party shall have [ * ] to argue in support of its Proposal.  The Parties shall not have the right to call any witnesses in support of their arguments, nor compel any production of documents or take any discovery from the other Party in preparation for the meeting. Within [ * ] after such meeting, the arbitrator shall select one of the final Proposals so submitted by one of the Parties as the resolution of the dispute, but may not alter the terms of either final Proposal and may not resolve the dispute in a manner other than by selection of one of the submitted final Proposals. If a Party fails to submit a Proposal within the initial [ * ] time frame set forth in the fourth sentence of this Section 15.3(c), the arbitrator shall select the Proposal of the other Party as the resolution of the dispute. Any time period set forth in this Section 15.3(c) may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties.

 

(d)           Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) relating to the arbitration proceeding, except that the fees of the arbitrator(s) and other related costs of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the Parties, unless the arbitrator(s) determine(s) that a Party has incurred unreasonable expenses due to vexatious or bad faith positions taken by the other Party, in which event the arbitrator(s) may make an award of all or any portion of such expenses so incurred.

 

(e)           The arbitrator(s) shall be required to render their decision in writing and to comply with, and their award shall be limited by, any express provisions of this Agreement relating to damages or the limitation thereof. No arbitrator shall have the power to award punitive damages under this Agreement regardless of whether any such damages are contained in a Proposal, and such award is expressly prohibited.

A [ * ] process for [ * ] was [ * ] to [ * ] the [ * ] and [ * ] the [ * ] of [ * ] at the [ * ] in [ * ].  The [ * ] by [ * ] was [ * ], to [ * ] it from the [ * ] ([ * ]) [ * ] in the [ * ].  The [ * ] and [ * ] system was [ * ] from [ * ].  The [ * ] based on the [ * ] ([ * ]) [ * ], and [ * ] were [ * ] in [ * ] containing the [ * ] ([ * ]).  A [ * ] of the [ * ] was [ * ] at [ * ] and [ * ] to [ * ] to [ * ] and [ * ] an [ * ] for [ * ].  This [ * ] is [ * ] at [ * ] was [ * ] at [ * ] to [ * ] of [ * ] in [ * ].  [ * ] process has [ * ] to the [ * ] procedure, [ * ] that the [ * ] was [ * ] to [ * ] to [ * ] from the [ * ].

 

To provide a product that can be [ * ] and [ * ], a [ * ] for [ * ] was developed with [ * ] than [ * ].   The [ * ] was found to be [ * ] with [ * ] of a [ * ] of [ * ] at [ * ] (or [ * ]) in a [ * ] of [ * ], [ * ], and [ * ] at a [ * ] of [ * ], as shown in the following table.

Following the development work, a [ * ] production of [ * ] was executed with the [ * ] process in [ * ] at [ * ] in [ * ].  The [ * ] contained [ * ] of [ * ], or a total of [ * ] of [ * ].  The overall cumulative yield of the [ * ] was [ * ].

 

The [ * ] of [ * ] into [ * ] and its [ * ] into [ * ] was done at [ * ] ([ * ]) in [ * ].  The [ * ] of the [ * ] and the [ * ] of [ * ] was [ * ], and the [ * ] of the [ * ] of [ * ] is [ * ].  A total of [ * ] were manufactured, and after retaining some [ * ] for [ * ] and [ * ], [ * ] (for a total of [ * ] of [ * ]) are available for [ * ].  [ * ] of this [ * ] to [ * ] standard [ * ] by [ * ] and [ * ] has been established, and an [ * ] to [ * ] on [ * ] to pave the way for [ * ] the [ * ] to the [ * ].

 

Further [ * ] Plans

 

The current [ * ] process with [ * ] of about [ * ] and [ * ] of [ * ] is suitable for [ * ] for [ * ] and represnts the [ * ] for [ * ] of [ * ].  However, improvements to [ * ] and [ * ] are [ * ] to further [ * ] and [ * ] in [ * ] manufacturing.  [ * ] changes, such as [ * ] to [ * ] materials ([ * ], etc.), will [ * ].  Throughout these [ * ], the [ * ] of the product from the [ * ] to the current [ * ] in [ * ] will be demonstrated.

 

Work is currently under way in [ * ] to [ * ] the [ * ] of the [ * ] process.  So far, areas already successful have been:

·                  To [ * ] the [ * ] of [ * ] (currently at [ * ]) in the [ * ] process leading to the [ * ] to allow [ * ];

·                  To [ * ] the [ * ] of [ * ] in the [ * ] to achieve [ * ]

·                  To design a process with [ * ] for [ * ].

 

With some of these changes [ * ], a [ * ] process [ * ] in the [ * ] and of [ * ] to [ * ] has already been demonstrated in [ * ] and will shortly be tested with [ * ].

 

The [ * ] of the [ * ] process will also be examined.  Attempts are currently being made to:

·                  [ * ] the [ * ] to allow the [ * ].  [ * ] of [ * ] conditions is being pursued to [ * ] the [ * ].

·                  [ * ] the amount of [ * ] entering the [ * ] by treating the [ * ] or [ * ] to further [ * ] the [ * ].

 

For the drug product, [ * ] efforts will look into [ * ] of [ * ] in [ * ], and [ * ] through:

·                  [ * ] the product [ * ] to [ * ] and [ * ] in [ * ] to get a [ * ] of [ * ] ([ * ] data indicate [ * ] of [ * ] or [ * ] are [ * ]).  The need for this effort will be assessed in light of the intended [ * ] in consulation with the program team.

·                  Assessing [ * ] of [ * ].  The current [ * ] capacity at [ * ] ([ * ]) is in the process of being [ * ] which would offer the possibility of [ * ].

·                  An evaluation of [ * ] data on [ * ] would be done to assess [ * ] of a [ * ] should that be considered desirable for [ * ] purposes.

 

In the area of [ * ], the following [ * ] will be investigated as [ * ] to the [ * ] process:

·                  A [ * ] to determine [ * ] of the [ * ] in various process [ * ], including [ * ] and [ * ];

·                  A [ * ];

·                  [ * ] methods to [ * ] current [ * ] methods

·                  A [ * ] method as [ * ] test;

·                  More [ * ] methods to characterize [ * ] and [ * ] improvements.

·                  Other [ * ] for [ * ] characterization of [ * ] and [ * ] for various [ * ] evaluations [ * ] by [ * ] and [ * ] and [ * ] for various [ * ] and [ * ]

 

Clinical Drug [ * ]

 

The current [ * ] drug product ([ * ], [ * ]) will be used in the Phase [ * ] study. Additional drug product ([ * ]) from the [ * ] manufacturing process is expected in [ * ]. [ * ] between the [ * ] and the [ * ] has been established and an [ * ] for the [ * ] of [ * ] on [ * ]. The timing of [ * ] will depend on [ * ] needs; at a minimum, a [ * ] in [ * ] will be [ * ] to [ * ] the [ * ] in [ * ].

 

For planning purposes, the best estimate of [ * ] at this time is assumed to be [ * ], for a total of [ * ].  The table on the next page lists the projected material requirements for the [ * ] in [ * ].

Identification of [ * ] for [ * ] Study

 

Typically, attempts to identify [ * ] for [ * ] occur during the [ * ] of [ * ] investigation as they require [ * ] of [ * ] prior to [ * ] with the [ * ] and then [ * ] with [ * ].  [ * ] samples are used to [ * ] the [ * ].  These studies often require [ * ] and [ * ] such as [ * ], [ * ], [ * ], or [ * ] for [ * ] in [ * ].

 

However, [ * ] is [ * ] to [ * ] in [ * ] investigation and has [ * ] to [ * ] including those from [ * ] in the [ * ].  Studies will [ * ] to identify [ * ] of the [ * ] of [ * ] activity on [ * ] and then test [ * ] these [ * ] also [ * ].  [ * ] is creating [ * ] of these [ * ] for [ * ] studies.  A similar strategy is contemplated for [ * ] such as [ * ].

 

If the current studies of [ * ] activity [ * ] that [ * ] from some [ * ] to [ * ] or in [ * ], then [ * ] will be [ * ] by:

 

·                  [ * ] whether the [ * ] has a [ * ] with [ * ] and [ * ] for [ * ] in [ * ] and

·                  [ * ] with [ * ] (e.g. [ * ]) that have [ * ] and [ * ] in place to [ * ] for [ * ] to [ * ].

 

The [ * ] status and [ * ] would then be [ * ] for [ * ] from [ * ] were [ * ] with [ * ] to [ * ] if the [ * ] of [ * ] do [ * ] with [ * ].

 

Additional [ * ] studies that have been identified:

 

·                  Examine [ * ] data for [ * ] on [ * ] and [ * ] to [ * ] to [ * ] or [ * ] a [ * ] of [ * ].

·                  Examine [ * ] of [ * ] following [ * ] with [ * ] to [ * ] with [ * ] (in [ * ] in [ * ])

·                  [ * ] studies to [ * ] with [ * ] in [ * ]:

 

·                  Examine [ * ] and [ * ] in [ * ]

4.1                               Representations and Warranties.  Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company the following:

 

(a)                                  Authorization.  All necessary corporate action on the part of Purchaser for the execution, delivery and performance of its obligations under this Agreement and for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby has been taken.  This Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

(b)                                  Corporate Organization and Authority.  Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Purchaser has the corporate power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and any document contemplated to be delivered hereby.

 

(c)                                  Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  This Agreement is made with Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Shares to be purchased by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof.  Purchaser has no present intention of

selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same.  By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares and Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

 

(d)           Restricted Securities.  Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed in Section 4.1(c).  Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available.  Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company that are outside of Purchaser’s control.

 

(e)           Legend.  Purchaser understands that the Shares may bear the following legend:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

 

(f)            Accredited Investor.  Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(g)           Investment Experience.  Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares.

 

(h)           Trading in Company Common Stock.  Since January 1, 2009, except pursuant to this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor any affiliate of Purchaser has directly, or indirectly through an agent, broker, financial advisor or other third party, sold, bought, made any short sale of, loaned, granted or received any option for the purchase or sale of, or otherwise directly acquired or disposed of any securities of the Company, whether on the NASDAQ Global Market or otherwise.

5.             COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

 

The Company covenants and agrees with Purchaser that from and after the Execution Date:

 

5.1          Registration Rights.

 

(a)           At any time after the date that is six (6) months after the Execution Date, upon the written request of Purchaser, the Company shall prepare and file, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, a registration statement under the Securities Act (“Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (“Form S-3”) covering the resale of the Shares.  In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, then the Company will (i) file a Registration Statement on such form as is then available to effect a registration of all of the Shares, and (ii) undertake to register the Shares on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Shares has been declared effective by the SEC.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable.  On the business day following the effective date of such Registration Statement, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. If for any reason the SEC does not permit all of the Shares to be included in such Registration Statement, or for any other reason any Shares are not then included in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, then the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable, file with the SEC an additional Registration Statement covering the resale of all Shares not already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible.  On the business day following the effective date of such Registration Statement, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement.

 

(b)           If, at any time before October 17, 2015, the Company decides to register any of its securities for its own account or for the account of others, then the Company will promptly give Purchaser written notice thereof and will use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration all or any part of the Shares requested by Purchaser to be included therein.  This requirement does not apply to Company registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or their equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with an acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans.  Purchaser must give its request for registration under this paragraph to the Company in writing within 15 days after receipt from the Company of notice of such pending registration.  If the registration for which the Company gives notice is an underwritten public offering, the Company will so advise Purchaser as part of the above-described written notice.  If the managing underwriter of any proposed underwritten public offering advises the Company that the total amount of shares of Common Stock that Purchaser and any other persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Stock offered or the market

 


[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

109



 

for the Common Stock, then the shares of Common Stock to be included in such underwritten offering shall include the number of shares of Common Stock that such managing underwriter advises the Company can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) first, among the Company and the investors who are party to that certain Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, dated July 13, 2004 (the “Existing IRA”), by and among the Company and the investors set forth on Exhibit A thereto, pursuant to the terms thereof; (ii) second, to Purchaser; and (iii) third, to any other person holding Company securities who may also be including any such securities for sale in such underwritten offering.  No registration rights that further limit or subordinate the rights of Purchaser to register the Shares will be granted by the Company until one or more registration statements covering all of the Shares have become effective.

 

(c)           The Company will file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in a timely manner so as to preserve its eligibility for the use of Form S-3.

 

5.2          Consents.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure, in a timely manner upon reasonable terms and conditions, all consents and approvals, complete all filings, registrations and certificates, and satisfy all other requirements prescribed by Law, which are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement prior to the Closing Date.

 

5.3          Cooperation.  The Company shall cooperate fully, completely and promptly with Purchaser in connection with satisfying all conditions to, and effecting the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.

 

5.4          Commercially Reasonable Efforts.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3 to be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

5.5          Further Assurances.  The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, any appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable Law to consummate and make effective the sale and assignment of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the Execution Date.

 

5.6          Operation of Business.  The Company agrees prior to the Closing to (a) maintain its existence in good standing under applicable Law, (b) conduct its operations in all material respects only in the ordinary and usual course of business consistent with past practice and (c) not take any action or establish a record date for the taking of any action with respect to any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the structure of the Company which affects or relates to the Common Stock.

 

5.7          Form D; Blue Sky Laws.  The Company will timely file a Notice of Sale of Securities on Form D with respect to the Shares, under Regulation D promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act.  The Company will, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as it reasonably determines to be necessary to qualify the Shares for sale to Purchaser under this

Agreement under applicable securities (or “blue sky”) laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification).

 

5.8          Issuance of Certificates.  The Company will, or will instruct its transfer agent to, issue certificates registered in the name of Purchaser or its nominee, for the Shares.  All such certificates will bear the restrictive legend described in Section 4.1(e), except as otherwise specified in Section 5.9.  The Company will not give to its transfer agent any instruction other than as described in this Section 5.8 and Section 5.9 and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4.1(e) (prior to registration of the Shares under the Securities Act).  Nothing in this Section 5.8 and Section 5.9 affects in any way Purchaser’s obligation to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon resale of the Shares.

 

5.9          Unrestricted Securities.  If, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) the Shares represented by a certificate have been registered under an effective Registration Statement, (b) Purchaser and/or its nominee provides the Company and its transfer agent with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act and such sale may occur without restriction on the manner of such sale or transfer, (c) such holder provides the Company and its transfer agent with reasonable assurances that such Shares can be sold under Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC having substantially the same effect as such Rule (“Rule 144”), or (d) the Shares represented by a certificate can be sold without restriction as to the number of securities sold under Rule 144, the Company will permit the transfer of the Shares, and the Company will instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from any restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by such holder.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Shares may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement; provided, that such pledge will not alter the provisions of this Section 5.9 with respect to the removal of restrictive legends.

6.1          Consents.  Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure, in a timely manner upon reasonable terms and conditions, all consents and approvals, complete all filings, registrations and certificates, and satisfy all other requirements prescribed by Law, which are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

(b) Purchaser (i) represents and warrants that it has retained no investment bankers, finders or brokers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any costs, expenses or liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder’s fee to any investment banker, finder, broker or other person or firm (including legal fees and other costs and expense of defending against such liability or asserted liability) resulting from or arising out of acts or alleged acts of Purchaser, its affiliates or its or their representatives.

 

10.8        Expenses.  The Company and Purchaser shall each bear its respective expenses and legal fees incurred with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

10.9        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which taken together shall be regarded as one and the same instrument.  Execution and delivery of this Agreement by exchange of facsimile copies bearing the facsimile signature of a Party hereto shall constitute a valid and binding execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Party.  Such facsimile copies shall constitute enforceable original documents.

 

10.10      Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid by a court of last resort or by any court from the decision of which an appeal is not taken within the time provided by Law, then and in such event, this Agreement will be deemed to have been terminated only as to the portion thereof that relates to the provision invalidated by that decision, but this Agreement, in all other respects will remain in force; provided, however, that if the provision so invalidated is essential to this Agreement as a whole, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the terms of this Agreement as nearly as practical to carry out the original intent of the Parties.

 

10.11      Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence for purposes of this Agreement.

 

10.12      Rules of Interpretation.  Within this Agreement (a) a reference to any individual, firm, trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, governmental entity or business organization includes such entity’s permitted successors and permitted assigns; (b) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are not limiting; (c) references to any document, instrument or agreement (i) shall include all exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto, (ii) shall include all documents, instruments or agreements issued or executed in replacement thereof, and (iii) shall mean such document, instrument or agreement, or replacement thereof, as amended, modified and supplemented from time to time and in effect at any given time; (d) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; and (e) the headings used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only, and they are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
