(a) General. In further consideration of the rights and licenses granted by Lyell to GSK hereunder, GSK shall pay to Lyell royalties based on the Net Sales of all Products and Compounds for a Collaboration Program, during the applicable Royalty Term. For clarity, for purposes of this Section 8.5(a), the Epi-R Component Development Program (and related GSK Program) and the Gen-R Component Development Program (and related GSK Program) shall be treated by the Parties as a single Collaboration Program such that only one royalty will be payable if a Product both contains the Gen-R Component and uses the Epi-R Component. The royalty payable with respect to Products and Compounds shall be tiered based upon the level of total aggregate Net Sales in a Calendar Year of all Products and Compounds within the same Collaboration Program by all Related Parties. Royalties shall be calculated by multiplying the applicable base royalty rates (“Base Royalty Rate”) (which Base Royalty Rates shall also be determined based on whether a Collaboration Program is an Active GSK Program or not) by the corresponding incremental portion of Net Sales Products and Compounds within the Collaboration Program as set forth in Table 3 below:”

26. Section 9.1. Ownership of Information and Inventions. The second sentence of Section 9.1 shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in Section 7.4: (1) Lyell will own all inventions (and all Patent and other intellectual property rights therein) (i) solely invented by GSK or its Affiliates and/or their respective employees, agents or independent contractors, and (ii) jointly invented by employees, Affiliates, agents or independent contractors of each Party in the course of conducting its activities under this Agreement and all Patent and other intellectual property rights therein, in each case of (i) and (ii) that are Improved Anti-Exhaustion Components; and (2) subject to the foregoing clause (1), (a) each Party will own all inventions (and all Patent and other intellectual property rights therein) solely invented by or on behalf of it or its Affiliates and/or their respective employees, agents and independent contractors in the course of conducting its activities under this Agreement (collectively, “Sole Inventions”); and

(b) all inventions invented jointly by employees, Affiliates, agents or independent contractors of each Party in the course of conducting its activities under this Agreement and all Patent and other intellectual property rights therein (collectively, “Joint Inventions”) will be jointly owned by the Parties.”

“Improved Anti-Exhaustion Components” means compositions and methods made by or under the authority of GSK or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement that comprise or incorporate or are specifically related to Lyell Anti-Exhaustion Technology provided to GSK under a Collaboration Program (and not related specifically to a T-Cell Therapy or Product). Any composition or method made by or under the authority of GSK or any of its Affiliates independent of this Agreement and without using or comprising Lyell Anti-Exhaustion Technology shall not be an Improved Anti-Exhaustion Component.

GSK shall promptly disclose and provide to Lyell all Information and Materials with respect to Improved Anti-Exhaustion Components. Such disclosure shall include such Information and Materials as are necessary or reasonably useful to understand and exploit such Improved Anti-Exhaustion Components, including protein and nucleotide sequences embodying or expressing such Improved Anti-Exhaustion Components, but only to the extent such Information and Materials comprise or relate primarily to such Anti-Exhaustion Components.

Promptly after filing such patent application, Lyell shall provide GSK a copy of each such application as filed, together with notice of its filing date and serial number. After such patent application is so filed, it shall be deemed a Product Specific Patent and Prosecution of such patent application shall continue to be handled by Lyell through PCT filing at Lyell’s sole cost, and thereafter by GSK as set forth in Section 9.2(b) below (or by Lyell to the extent set forth in the last sentence of Section 9.2(b)). GSK shall provide Lyell reasonable notice to file an application in any non-PCT countries. For clarity, no General Tools Patent shall be deemed a Product Specific Patent.”

28. Section 9.2(b) Prosecution of Product Specific Patents. The first sentence of Section 9.2(b) shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Following PCT filing of Product Specific Patents by Lyell, GSK will have the first right, but not the obligation, to further draft, file, prosecute and maintain the Product Specific Patents for such Collaboration Program (including any oppositions, interferences, reissue proceedings, reexaminations and post-grant proceedings) in all jurisdictions in the Territory (such activities
