presentations, dosages or formulations Developed for a given Licensed Adnectin shall not be deemed to create a new Licensed Adnectin for milestones purposes and shall be considered the same Licensed Adnectin.

8.2 Sublicense Revenue Sharing. In addition to the milestones and royalty payments set forth in Section 8.1, Company shall pay to BMS the following percentage of all Sublicense Revenues Company receives in connection with any Sublicense or any assignment of rights to the BMS Patents, BMS Know-How, the Licensed Adnectins and/or Licensed Products, depending on the stage of Development of the most advanced Licensed Adnectin or Licensed Product that is subject to the applicable Sublicense or such assignment:

Development stage of the most advanced Licensed Adnectin or Licensed Product as of the date of the Sublicense or assignment:


	Prior to the end of the Phase 3 Trial	Prior to the first filing for an BLA Approval	After BLA approval
Percent of Sublicense Revenues payable to BMS	[***]%	[***]%	[***]%

For clarity the percent stated above shall apply (i) to any particular Sublicense Revenue that is not included in the Agreement (e.g., the upfront payment from the Sublicensee or a milestone payment for a milestone event not included in the Agreement), and (ii) to the difference between (x) the Sublicense Revenue payment received by Company from a Sublicensee and (y) the payment Company pays to BMS for a particular payment under the Agreement (e.g., the difference between the milestone payment Company receives from a Sublicensee and the milestone payment Company pays to BMS for the same milestone event or the difference between the royalty rates). No Sublicense Revenue shall be due on any Sublicense granted more than two (2) years after BLA Approval.

8.3 Royalty Payments.

8.3.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement Company shall pay to BMS tiered royalties based on the total annual worldwide Net Sales in the Territory of each Licensed Product (including all indications and formulations for such Licensed Product) during the applicable Royalty Term for such Licensed Product. The royalty payable with respect to each particular Licensed Product shall be calculated by multiplying the applicable royalty rate below by the portion

***Text Omitted and Filed Separately

Confidential Treatment Requested

Under 17 C.F.R. §§200.80(B)(4) and 230.406

of total annual worldwide Net Sales in the applicable tier in a Calendar Year of the applicable Licensed Product by Company, its Affiliates, and Sublicensees in the Territory, as follows:


Portion of total annual worldwide Net Sales in a Calendar Year for such Licensed Product that falls within the following tiers:			Royalty Rate

≤ $[***]			[***]%

> $[***]			[***]%

By way of example, in a given Calendar Year, if the total annual worldwide Net Sales for a Licensed Product is $[***], the following royalty payment would be payable under this Section 8.3 (subject to the reductions set forth below): ([***]% x $[***]) ([***]% x $[***]) = $[***]. For clarity, all dosages, dosage forms, SKUs, methods of delivery and presentations of a Licensed Product containing the same Licensed Adnectin shall be considered as one Licensed Product for purposes of this Section 8.3.1.

8.3.2 Royalty Term. Royalties shall be payable on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis on Net Sales of Licensed Products from the First Commercial Sale of a particular Licensed Product in a country until the later of (i) twelve (12) years after the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country, (ii) the expiration of the last to expire BMS Patent Right that, absent the licenses granted by BMS to Company under this Agreement, would be infringed by the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, importation or exportation in such country of a given Licensed Product (including by reasons of extensions thereof under applicable Laws, including patent term extensions, pediatric exclusivity or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in any country), or (iii) the expiration of any regulatory or marketing exclusivity for such Licensed Product in such country, including but not limited to any data exclusivity (the “Royalty Term”); provided that, if (ii) no longer applies, the royalty payable by Company to BMS for the remainder (if any) of the Royalty Term with respect to such Licensed Product shall be determined by a royalty rate equal to fifty percent (50%) of the royalty rate set forth in Section 8.3.1. At the end of the Royalty Term for any Licensed Product in any country, Company will have a fully paid up, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to such Licensed Product in such country.

8.3.3 Royalty Conditions. The royalties under Section 8.3.1 shall be subject to the following conditions:

***Text Omitted and Filed Separately

Confidential Treatment Requested

Under 17 C.F.R. §§200.80(B)(4) and 230.406

(a) only one royalty shall be due with respect to the same unit of Licensed Product;

(b) no royalties shall be due upon the sale or other transfer among any Related Party, but in such cases the royalty shall be due and calculated upon the Related Party’s Net Sales of Licensed Product to the first non-Related Party; and

(c) no royalties shall accrue on the disposition of Licensed Product in reasonable quantities by any Related Party as part of an expanded access program or as bona fide samples or as donations to non-profit institutions or government agencies for non-commercial purposes or for the performance of clinical trials, provided, in each case, that such Related Party does not receive any payment for such Licensed Product exceeding the cost of goods.

8.3.4 Royalty Reduction. If (i) Company, in its reasonable judgment, determines that it is required to obtain a license from any Third Party in order to avoid infringement of a Valid Claim of such Third Party’s Patent Rights as a result of the practice of the BMS Patent Rights and/or the BMS Know-How in connection with the research, Development or Commercialization of any Licensed Product, (ii) such Valid Claim claims the composition or a method of use on which the Company has obtained or is seeking to obtain approval from a Regulatory Authority, and (iii) Company is required to pay to such Third Party a royalty, milestone payments or other monetary compensation in consideration for the grant or maintenance of such license (“Third Party Compensation”), then for the period during which Company owes royalties to BMS hereunder, the amounts that would otherwise have been payable as royalties to BMS under this Agreement shall be reduced by [***] of all Third Party Compensation payable by or on behalf of Company to such Third Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the royalty reductions described in this Section 8.3.4 act to reduce the royalties payable by Company to less than [***] of the amounts payable by Company for a given Calendar Quarter pursuant to Section 8.3.1. For clarity, this credit will not apply with respect to Valid Claims of Third Party Patent Rights that claim a formulation or method of manufacture of a Licensed Adnectin or Licensed Product. For clarity, Company may not carry over and apply any such royalty reductions, which are incurred or accrued in a Calendar Quarter and are not deducted in such Calendar Quarter, to any subsequent Calendar Quarter(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the royalty rates have been reduced in a given country due to lack of BMS Patent Rights for the applicable Licensed Product as set forth in Section 8.3.2, the provisions of this Section 8.3.4 will not apply for such country.

8.4 Manner of Payment. All payments to be made by Company under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be designated by BMS. Late payments shall bear interest at the rate provided in Section 8.9.

8.5 Sales Reports and Royalty Payments. After the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product and during the term of this Agreement, Company shall furnish to BMS a written report, within [***] ([***] if a Sublicense has been granted) after the end of each Calendar Quarter (or portion thereof, if this Agreement terminates during a Calendar Quarter), showing the amount of royalty due for such Calendar Quarter (or portion thereof). Royalty payments for each Calendar Quarter shall be due at the same time as such written report for the Calendar Quarter. With each quarterly payment, Company shall deliver to BMS a full and accurate accounting to include at least the following information:

8.5.1 the total gross sales for each Licensed Product (by country) by Company and its applicable Related Parties, if any, and the calculation of Net Sales from such gross sales;

8.6 Sales Record Audit.

8.6.2 Such books of accounting of Company and its Affiliates shall be kept at their principal place of business and, with all necessary supporting data and records, shall during all reasonable times for the [***] years next following the end of the Calendar Year to which each shall pertain, be open for inspection not more than once per Calendar Year at reasonable times by an independent certified public accountant selected by BMS and as to which Company has no reasonable objection, at BMS’ expense, for the purpose of verifying royalty statements and payments for compliance with this Agreement for any period within the preceding [***] Calendar Years.

8.6.3 Company shall include in its Sublicense Agreements with any Sublicensees, a right for Company to inspect or have such an accountant inspect, not more than once during any Calendar Year, the books of accounting and such supporting data and records of such Sublicensees for the purpose of verifying royalty statements and payments for compliance with this Agreement for any period within the preceding [***] Calendar Years.

8.6.4 Results of any inspection under Section 8.6.2 or 8.6.3 shall be made available to both Company and BMS. The independent, certified public accountant shall disclose to BMS only the amounts that the independent auditor believes to be due and payable hereunder to BMS, details concerning any discrepancy from the amount paid (including the reasons therefor) and the amount due, and shall disclose no other information revealed in such audit.

8.6.5 Such accountant must have agreed in writing to maintain all information learned in confidence, except as necessary to disclose to BMS such compliance or noncompliance by Company, and any applicable Related Parties (who must agree in the Sublicense Agreement that such audit report may be disclosed to BMS). The results of each inspection, if any, shall be binding on both Parties. BMS shall pay for such inspections, except that in the event there is any upward adjustment in aggregate royalties payable for any Calendar Year shown by such inspection of more than [***] of the amount paid, Company shall pay for such inspection. Any underpayments shall be paid by Company within [***] after notification of the results of such inspection. Any overpayments shall be fully creditable against amounts payable in subsequent payment periods.

8.7 Currency Exchange. The Company’s then current standard exchange rate methodology will be employed for the translation of foreign currency sales into Dollars, provided, that such methodology is used by the Company in the translation of its foreign currency operating results, is consistent with GAAP, and is audited by the Company’s independent certified public accountants in connection with the audit of the consolidated financial statements of Company, and is used for the Company’s external reporting of foreign currency operating results.

Section 10.1. With respect to contractors, Company shall use good faith and reasonable efforts to secure an agreement from such contractor to assign or license (with the right to sublicense) to Company inventions (and patent rights for such inventions) made by such contractor in performing such services for Company.

10.2 Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of BMS Patent Rights. Company will have lead responsibility, using its in-house patent counsel or outside patent counsel selected by Company (such determination and outside patent selection to be subject to BMS’ approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), for the preparation, prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and reexaminations) and maintenance of the BMS Patent Rights. Company shall be responsible for the costs incurred with respect to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the BMS Patent Rights. Company shall provide BMS with semi-annual updates of the filing, prosecution and maintenance status for each of the BMS Patent Rights, and shall promptly provide copies of any material official correspondence to or from patent offices. The Parties shall reasonably consult with and cooperate with respect to the preparation, prosecution and maintenance of the BMS Patent Rights, including by providing assistance as described in Section 3.1, and will confer regarding where to prosecute the BMS Patent Rights. Company shall not take any action during prosecution and maintenance of the BMS Patent Rights that would materially adversely affect them (including reduction in claims scope), without BMS’ prior express written consent (which consent shall be considered to be given if Company notifies BMS of proposed claim amendments or cancellations and BMS fails to object within thirty (30) days of such notification). Company may file a notice with governmental patent offices of the exclusive license to the BMS Patent Rights granted to Company hereunder. Post-grant proceedings involving the BMS Patent Rights, including oppositions, cancellations, inter partes review, and the like, shall be conducted by Company at the expense of Company, and Company shall promptly notify BMS of the initiation of such proceeding (or vice versa) and Company shall give BMS the opportunity to participate, at the sole expense of BMS, and BMS shall also participate and appear as necessary under the applicable rules governing the proceeding.

Company will provide notice to BMS pursuant to Section 10.3.2 before abandoning any patent rights in non-Major Market Countries.

10.3.2 Subject to Section 10.3.1, in the event that Company decides either (a) not to continue the prosecution or maintenance of a patent application or patent within the BMS Patent Rights in any country, or (b) not to file any new patent application requested to be filed by BMS, Company shall provide BMS with express written notice of this decision at least thirty (30) days prior to any pending lapse or abandonment thereof, or if a decision not to continue prosecution or maintenance is responsive to an official communication from governmental agency that is received by Company less than forty-five (45) days prior to a deadline for taking action in response thereto, then the deadline for giving such notice to BMS shall be 50% of the time remaining for response after such communication is received by Company. In such event, provided that the Parties have not expressly agreed to abandon a patent or not file a patent application under Section 10.3.1, then Company shall provide BMS with an opportunity to assume responsibility for all external costs reasonably associated with the filing and/or further prosecution and maintenance of such patent application and any patent issuing thereon (such filing to occur prior to the issuance of the patent to which the application claims priority or expiration of the applicable filing deadline, as set forth above). In the event that BMS assumes such responsibility for such filing, prosecution and maintenance costs, Company shall transfer the responsibility for such filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patent applications and patents to BMS and Company shall no longer have any right or license in and to such patent application and patents issuing therefrom under this Agreement. In such case, Company shall provide BMS with an update of the filing, prosecution and maintenance status for each of such patent applications and patents, including copies of any material official correspondence to or from patent offices. Company shall reasonably consult with and cooperate with BMS with respect to the preparation, prosecution and maintenance of such patent applications and patents. Except as described in this Section 10.3.2, Company shall not take any action during prosecution and maintenance of the BMS Patent Rights that would materially adversely affect them, without BMS’ prior express written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if such action will not adversely affect the amount or duration of any royalty payable to BMS, and which consent shall be considered to be given if Company notifies BMS of proposed claim amendments or cancellations and BMS fails to object within thirty (30) days of such notification.

If such recovery is insufficient to cover all such costs and expenses of both Parties, it shall be shared in proportion to the total of such costs and expenses incurred by each Party. If after such reimbursement any funds shall remain from such damages or other sums recovered, such funds shall be retained by the Party that controlled the action or proceeding under this Section 10.4; provided, however, [***].

If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of the Indemnification Claim as aforesaid, the Indemnitee may defend the Indemnification Claim but shall have no obligation to do so. The Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim in any manner which would have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s interests (including any rights under this Agreement or the scope or enforceability of the BMS

For the avoidance of doubt, an action by Company or any Affiliate in accordance with Article 10 to amend claims within a pending patent application within the BMS Patent Rights during the course of Company’s prosecution and maintenance of such pending patent application or in defense of a Third Party proceeding, or to make a negative determination of patentability of claims of a patent application of BMS or to abandon a patent application of BMS during the course of Company’s prosecution and maintenance of such pending patent application, shall not, where undertaken in accordance with Article 10 hereof, constitute a challenge under this Section 13.2.4.

(b) If a Sublicensee of Company challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any of the BMS Patent Rights or Adnectin Platform Patents Rights under which such Sublicensee is sublicensed, then Company shall, at BMS’ election and upon written notice from BMS, promptly terminate such Sublicense. The Company shall include within each Sublicense Agreement with each Sublicensee a right on the part of the Company to terminate such Sublicense Agreement in the event such Sublicensee challenges or knowingly supports a Third Party in challenging (other than in response to a subpoena or court order), in a judicial or administrative proceeding, including without limitation by providing information, documents, or funding, the validity, scope or enforceability of any of the BMS Patent Rights or Adnectin Platform Patents Rights after grant of the patent and (ii) the Company shall exercise such right to terminate the Sublicense Agreement with a Sublicensee should such Sublicensee challenge or knowingly support a Third Party in challenging (other than in response to a subpoena or court order) in a judicial or administrative proceeding the validity or enforceability of any of the BMS Patent Rights after grant of the patent. If Company fails to exercise such termination right against such Sublicensee or is unable to do so because it did not include such a provision in its Sublicense, BMS may terminate this Agreement.

13.3 Termination by Company. Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, at Company’s sole discretion, as follows.

13.4.1 With respect to termination under Section 13.2 or 13.3.1(x), all rights and licenses granted to Company in Article 2 shall terminate, all rights of Company under the BMS Patent Rights, Adnectin Platform Patents Rights, Chasin License Agreement and BMS Know-How shall revert to BMS, and Company and its Affiliates shall cease all use of the BMS Patent Rights, the BMS Know-How and the Transferred Materials, and shall offer to return to BMS all unused portions of the Transferred Materials, subject, in the case of termination pursuant to Section 13.3.1, to BMS’ reimbursement of Company’s actual costs incurred in transferring the Transferred Materials to BMS; provided if BMS notifies Company that it does not want the Transferred Materials returned, then Company shall be responsible for destroying the Transferred Materials at the Company’s expense and confirming such destruction in writing. If the termination is on a country-by-country basis under Section 13.3.1(y), the above reversion shall only apply to that country(ies). Following the effective date of such termination, all Licensed Adnectins and/or Licensed Products shall thereafter be deemed “BMS Reversion Products”.

13.4.2 With respect to all regulatory filings (including all INDs and NDAs) and Approvals and all other regulatory documents necessary to further Develop and Commercialize the BMS Reversion Products, as they exist as of the date of such termination (and all of Company’s right, title and interest therein and thereto), BMS shall determine in its sole discretion which of these shall be (i) assigned to BMS, and Company shall provide to BMS one (1) copy of the applicable documents and filings, all documents and filings contained in or referenced in any such filings, together with the raw and summarized data for any preclinical and clinical studies of the BMS Reversion Products as well as any final documentation to inactivate any open INDs as BMS may elect to inactivate, subject, in the case of termination pursuant to Section 13.3.1, to BMS’ reimbursement of Company’s actual costs incurred in transferring such items to BMS, and preparing such items in connection with such transfer, or (ii) withdrawn or inactivated at Company’s expense. For clarity, BMS shall have the right to use the foregoing material information, materials

Under 17 C.F.R. §§200.80(B)(4) and 230.406

and data developed by or on behalf of Company or its Affiliates solely in connection with BMS’ development, manufacture and commercialization of BMS Reversion Products. BMS shall have the right to obtain specific performance of Company’s obligations referenced in this Section 13.4.2 and/or in the event of failure to obtain assignment, Company hereby consents and grants to BMS the right to access and reference (without any further action required on the part of Company, whose authorization to file this consent with any Regulatory Authority is hereby granted) any and all such regulatory filings for any regulatory or other use or purpose in the Territory. Without limiting the foregoing in this paragraph, to the extent applicable, Company’s obligations under Section 10.7 shall continue with respect to all countries in the Territory for which there is a failure to obtain assignment of all regulatory filings and Approvals.

13.4.3 All amounts due or payable to BMS that were accrued prior to the effective date of termination shall remain due and payable; but (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) no additional amounts shall be payable based on events occurring after the effective date of termination; provided, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit Company’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement for acts or omissions incurring prior to the termination date that are the subject of such indemnification even if the indemnification amount cannot be accrued or determined as of the termination date.

13.4.4 BMS shall have the right to retain all amounts previously paid to BMS by Company.

13.4.5 Should Company have any inventory of any Licensed Adnectin included in the BMS Reversion Products suitable for use in clinical trials, Company shall offer to sell such Licensed Adnectin to BMS at the fully burdened manufacturing cost of such Licensed Adnectin (but BMS shall be under no obligation to purchase same unless it agrees to do so in writing at such time).

13.4.6 Should Company have any inventory of any Licensed Product included in the BMS Reversion Products approved and allocated prior to termination, Company shall have six (6) months thereafter in which to dispose of such inventory (subject to the payment to BMS of any royalties due hereunder thereon) (the “Inventory Disposal Period”); provided, however, that (i) such right shall terminate at such time that BMS purchases all remaining stocks of inventory of such BMS Reversion Product as described in this Section 13.4.6, below, and (ii) such Licensed Product shall not be sold at a discount to a purchaser that is greater than the average discount provided to such purchaser for the Licensed Product in the applicable country during the twelve (12) month period preceding such termination and, in addition, such sales shall not result in the applicable wholesaler inventory levels for such Licensed Product exceeding the average levels for the twelve

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if BMS takes over responsibility for sale of the BMS Reversion Products in any country in the Territory prior to the end of the Inventory Disposal Period, BMS shall be required to purchase all remaining stocks of saleable inventory that meets BMS specifications and return policies of such BMS Reversion Product at Company’s cost of goods sold for such BMS Reversion Product, as accounted for in the Company’s audited financial statements.

13.4.7 Company shall provide to BMS the tangible embodiments of all Know-How owned or Controlled by Company and its Affiliates to the extent necessary for the Development and Commercialization of the BMS Reversion Products in existence as of the date of such termination, subject, in the case of termination pursuant to Section 13.3.1, to BMS’ reimbursement of Company's actual costs and expense incurred in transferring such items, and preparing and making such items in connection with such transfer (without duplicating any amounts reimbursed pursuant to Sections 13.4.2 and 13.4.10), including Company’s manufacturing processes, techniques and trade secrets for making such BMS Reversion Products and all Know-How specifically relating to any composition, formulation, method of use or manufacture of such BMS Reversion Products, and BMS shall automatically have a perpetual, fully paid, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable right (through multiple tiers) and license under such Know-How solely for (a) researching, Developing, using, importing, selling and offering for sale BMS Reversion Products in the Territory, which license shall be exclusive for purposes of this subpart (a), and (b) making and having made BMS Reversion Products anywhere in the Territory for use, importation, sale and offer for sale in the Territory, which license shall be non-exclusive for purposes of this subpart (b). Company shall reasonably cooperate with BMS to assist BMS with understanding and using the Know-How provided to BMS under this Section 13.4.7. Such cooperation shall include providing BMS with reasonable access by teleconference or in-person at Company’s facilities (subject to Company’s customary rules and restrictions with respect to site visits by non-Company personnel and subject, in the case of termination pursuant to Section 13.3.1, to BMS’ reimbursement of Company's actual out-of-pocket costs and expense incurred in connection with such cooperation).

13.4.8 To the extent that Company owns any trademark(s) and/or domain names that pertain specifically to an BMS Reversion Product that BMS believes would be necessary for the Commercialization of a BMS Reversion Product (as then currently marketed, but not including any marks that include, in whole or part, any corporate name or logo of Company), Company shall assign (or, if applicable, cause its Affiliate to assign) to BMS all of Company’s (and such Affiliate’s) right, title and interest in and to any registered or unregistered trademark, trademark application, trade name or internet domain name in each terminated country.

Nothing hereunder is intended to prevent Company from granting licenses under any Patent Rights owned or Controlled by Company or its Affiliates as at the effective date of termination and (b) all Patent Rights owned or Controlled by Company or its Affiliates after the date of such termination claiming any invention conceived or reduced to practice by or on behalf of Company during the term of this Agreement to the extent that the Patent Rights also cover products and/or compounds other than BMS Reversion Products or their use or manufacture; provided that such licenses would not conflict with the previous sentence.

13.4.10 Company shall provide to BMS all data generated during the term of this Agreement necessary or reasonably useful for the development and/or commercialization of the relevant BMS Reversion Products and assign (or, if applicable, cause its Affiliate to assign) to BMS all of Company’s (and such Affiliate’s) entire right, title and interest in and to all such data, subject to BMS’ reimbursement of Company's actual costs incurred in transferring such items, and preparing and making such items in connection with such transfer (without duplicating any amounts reimbursed pursuant to Sections 13.4.2 and 13.4.7).
