2.3 Initial Indications Development. Bayer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to continue development of the Product for the Initial Indications in accordance with the development plans delivered to the General Counsel of Onyx by letter of even date herewith (the “Initial Indications Plans”), including the Phase 3 clinical trials of the Product for the Initial Indications as listed in the Initial Indications Plans (the “Listed Trials”). The Initial Indications Plans may not be materially amended or modified except upon the mutual written agreement of both Parties (by their representatives on the Executive Committee or otherwise).
2.4 Separate Development Activities. The Parties shall attempt, through the Executive Committee, to agree on any Product development activities or programs beyond the scope of the work set forth in the Initial Indications Plans (as the same may be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties). In the event that Onyx proposes additional Product development activities that are not already set forth in the Initial Indications Plans (as the same may be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties) or Bayer proposes to discontinue any ongoing development activities of the Product, including any Phase 3 clinical trials of the Product for the Initial Indications other than the Listed Trials or any development of the Product for indications other than the Initial Indications, and if the Parties do not reach agreement for Bayer to conduct such additional Product development activities at its sole cost (such additional or continued activities, a “Separate Development Program”), Onyx shall have the right to conduct the Separate Development Program, in its sole discretion and at its sole cost as provided below (and subject to Section 4.2).
2.4.1 Onyx Notice Requirement. Following the determination that Bayer will not conduct such Separate Development Program as set forth above, and prior to the commencement of a Separate Development Program, Onyx shall give written notice to the Bayer representatives on the EC of the content of the proposed Separate Development Program (a “Notice of Proposed Development”). Bayer shall have a period of [ * ] following receipt of the Notice of Proposed Development within which to either commit to carry out the clinical trials requested by Onyx at Bayer’s sole expense, or to otherwise reach agreement with Onyx regarding modifications to the then-current Product development program. If the Parties do not reach agreement within such [ * ] period, Onyx shall have the right to commence the Separate Development Program as set forth below in this Section 2.4 and otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, Onyx may have the right to commence any Product development activities proposed to be discontinued by Bayer promptly following notice thereof by Bayer and in accordance with a reasonable transition plan. If Bayer believes, based upon reasonable medical or scientific grounds, that such Separate Development Program [ * ], it shall bring this concern to the attention of Onyx within the [ * ] period described above and the Parties shall discuss through the EC before Onyx commences such Separate Development Program. If Bayer still believes after such discussion that, based upon reasonable medical or scientific grounds, such Separate Development Program [ * ], then Onyx may only proceed with such Separate Development Program if [ * ]; under such circumstance, [ * ]. If Onyx commences a Separate Development Program, it may modify such development program from time to time without the approval of Bayer or the EC, except that Onyx shall discuss at the EC any proposed modification to any of the following: [ * ] (each such modification, a “Material Modification”) and, prior to implementation of such modification, shall submit to Bayer a new Notice of Proposed
13
[ * ] = 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.
Development for such modified Separate Development Program (which would constitute termination of the original Separate Development Program and the commencement of a new Separate Development Program). If Bayer decides to assume responsibility for the Separate Development Program following such proposed Material Modification, then Bayer shall reimburse Onyx for [ * ] of the Separate Development Costs already incurred by or on behalf of Onyx for such Separate Development Program, the Parties will decide upon a reasonable plan for transitioning on-going development activities to Bayer while minimizing disruption and delay, Bayer shall be responsible for future costs of such Separate Development Program, including those incurred by or on behalf of Onyx prior to the completion of such transition. In the case of any Separate Development Program resulting from the discontinuance of activities by Bayer, Bayer shall be responsible for the costs incurred by Bayer, and Onyx shall bear the responsibility for the costs to transition the development activities from Bayer to Onyx, subject to reimbursement of such costs as Separate Development Costs under this Agreement. Onyx may commence [ * ] for [ * ].
2.4.2 Bayer Obligations. If Onyx elects to conduct a Separate Development Program for a particular Separate Indication, Bayer shall have the following obligations with respect to Onyx’s development of, and procurement of Drug Approval for, such Separate Indication:
(i) As set forth in greater detail in this Section 2.4.2(i), Bayer shall supply primary packed unlabeled clinical trial material of Product to Onyx, pursuant to purchase orders placed by Onyx and accepted by Bayer, at Bayer’s Cost of Goods for such Product.

Provided that Onyx’s purchase order for Product does not exceed its forecast for the applicable month by more than [ * ] or require delivery less than [ * ] after the date of such purchase order, Bayer shall be deemed to have accepted such purchase order. All other Onyx purchase orders shall be deemed accepted by Bayer if Bayer does not reject such purchase order within [ * ] after the date of such purchase order. Bayer shall deliver to Onyx, FCA (Incoterms 2010) its storage facility nearest to Onyx, on the delivery date specified in the applicable accepted purchase order, the quantity Product set forth in such purchase order, together with a Certificate of Analysis for such Product. Onyx will arrange for and be responsible for the cost of all freight, insurance charges, taxes, import and export duties, inspection fees and other charges applicable to the transport of Product delivered by Bayer hereunder. Bayer will provide Onyx with Bayer’s then-existing packaging configurations and shelf life/re-test dates for the Product, or a copy of Bayer’s most recent IMPD or IND if available.

Warranty”) with respect to any quantity of Product, then Onyx shall not be obligated to pay for such quantity of Product and Bayer shall, at Onyx’s request, promptly replace (at no additional cost to Onyx if Onyx paid Bayer’s invoice with respect to the non-conforming Product) such quantity of non-conforming Product with the same quantity of Product that does conform with the Product Warranty. [ * ] Bayer shall provide Onyx, no earlier than the applicable delivery date for such Product, with an invoice for Product delivered by Bayer pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(i) and, provided that the Product conforms to the Product Warranty, Onyx shall pay such invoice within [ * ]. Promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a mutually agreed quality agreement with respect to Bayer’s supply of Product pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(i). Such quality agreement shall contain standard, commercially reasonable terms and conditions for agreements of such type, including rights for Onyx to review Bayer’s manufacturing records for Product. Bayer shall supply to Onyx placebo matched to the Product pursuant to terms and conditions similar to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section.
(ii) At the request and sole cost and expense of Onyx, Bayer shall facilitate Onyx’s performance of the Separate Development Program and Onyx’s preparation of a Drug Approval Application(s) with respect to such Separate Indication, as reasonably necessary to materially facilitate Onyx’s performance and preparation.

Except with respect to materials that, as between the Parties, only Bayer can prepare, Onyx shall prepare for submission by Bayer all materials to be provided to an applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority and such materials shall comply with the legal requirements of such applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority, and in the case of any filing for territories other than the U.S. and the European Union, with Bayer’s written guidelines provided reasonably in advance of the commencement of such Separate Development Program with respect to such territory. At Onyx’s request, and at Onyx’s sole cost and expense, Bayer shall prepare and submit to the applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority all other materials necessary to obtain approval of such Drug Approval Application. Bayer shall own, and hold for the benefit of Onyx, such Drug Approval Application. Bayer will keep Onyx fully informed regarding the status of such Drug Approval Application, including by providing Onyx with copies of all documents filed with, and documents, correspondence and other communications received from, the applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority with respect thereto. Bayer shall provide Onyx with prompt notice of any meeting, teleconference or other interaction with the applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority with respect thereto and shall facilitate Onyx’s participation in such meetings, teleconferences and interactions.
(iii) At Onyx’s request, and at Onyx’s sole cost and expense, Bayer shall (A) provide Onyx with access, through the shared database established pursuant to Section 2.8,
15
[ * ] = 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.
to Information in Bayer’s Control that is necessary for Onyx to develop the Product for such Separate Indication and to prepare Drug Approval Application(s) with respect to such Separate Indication, (B) use good faith and Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide Onyx with Information in Bayer’s Control that would materially facilitate Onyx’s development of the Product for such Separate Indication, including Information about preferred formulations, and preparation of Drug Approval Application(s) with respect to such Separate Indication, including copies of correspondence with the FDA, EMA and other regulatory authorities and (C) introduce Onyx to, and materially facilitate Onyx’s interactions with, key opinion leaders, potential clinical trial principal investigators, representatives of patient advocacy groups, vendors of development services, and persons responsible for granting pricing approvals or making reimbursement or formulary decisions, in each case only for external contacts with whom Bayer has a relationship with respect to the Product. The foregoing Information delivery obligations shall include making appropriate Bayer personnel reasonably available during normal business hours for reasonable time periods for consultation by Onyx either by telephone or email or at Bayer’s facilities with reasonable advance notice (and without a travel obligation on the part of Bayer).
(iv) Onyx shall be responsible for reimbursing the costs of Bayer as Separate Development Costs in providing services requested by Onyx under this Agreement to the extent such costs are reasonably incurred and reasonably commensurate in scope with the services provided. Bayer will provide Onyx with reasonable documentation of such costs and Onyx will have the audit rights described in Section 4.7 with respect to such amounts.
2.4.3 Information Sharing. If Onyx elects to conduct a Separate Development Program, Onyx shall keep Bayer appropriately informed, through the JDC and Executive Committee or otherwise, of the status and results of work performed by or on behalf of Onyx in the course of conducting such Separate Development Program, including by providing on a calendar quarterly basis (or more frequently to coincide with more frequent meetings of the Executive Committee, if applicable) a written progress report describing the Separate Development Program activities conducted by or on behalf of Onyx, any difficulties and unexpected circumstances encountered, summarized relevant data and results obtained, and any other relevant matters, in each case since the last such progress report. Upon reasonable prior written notice, Bayer shall have the right to inspect any records, notebooks, documents and other Information in the possession or under the control of Onyx reflecting work done and results achieved by or on behalf of Onyx in the course of conducting such Separate Development Program. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Bayer shall have the right to use for internal purposes only (which, for clarity, shall exclude any public disclosure or publication thereof or use in any materials provided to a Third Party) any Information disclosed by Onyx with respect to such Separate Development Program or Separate Indication internally; provided, however, that Bayer may file required safety information with the applicable regulatory authorities in accordance with Article 5 and the Pharmacovigilance Agreement. In addition, Bayer covenants that it shall not seek regulatory approval for (except at the instruction of Onyx) or commercialize the Product for Separate Indication until such time as it pays Onyx the amounts set forth under Section 2.4.7.

2.4.4 Intellectual Property. Onyx shall own the entire, right, title and interest in and to any Information (including data), whether or not patentable, that is generated, discovered, developed, identified, made or conceived by or on behalf of Onyx or its Affiliates or their respective employees, agents or contractors in the course of conducting any Separate Development Programs, together with all Patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights therein (collectively, “Onyx Developed IP”). Onyx shall have the right to use, transfer, sell, license, pledge and otherwise exploit the Onyx Developed IP for any purpose subject to the license granted in Section 2.4.8. For purposes of this Section 2.4, “Product-Specific Invention” means any invention within the Onyx Developed IP, the practice of which necessarily includes the Product, including composition of matter or method of treatment claims.
2.4.5 Patent Prosecution. Onyx shall disclose to the Joint IP subcommittee established by the Parties pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement (the “IP Subcommittee”) all Onyx Developed IP that Onyx believes to be patentable. The IP Subcommittee shall discuss the most advantageous procedures for obtaining patent protection for each such Onyx Developed IP. The Parties shall comply with all such procedures agreed upon by the IP Subcommittee. In the event that the IP Subcommittee does not agree upon such procedures within 30 days after Onyx’s disclosure of a particular Onyx Developed IP, Onyx have the first right, to prepare, file, prosecute (including any reissues, re-examinations, post-grant proceedings, requests for patent term extensions, supplementary protection certificates, interferences, and defense of oppositions) and maintain any Patent directed to such Onyx Developed IP worldwide, at its own expense. If Onyx determines that it will not file in any country a Patent directed to a Product-Specific Invention, it shall notify Bayer in writing sufficiently in advance so Bayer may, at its cost, assume the responsibility for the filing, in Bayer’s name, prosecution or maintenance of Patents directed to such Product-Specific Invention in one or more countries as it elects. At Bayer’s request and cost, Onyx will execute any documents necessary to effectuate transfer of title to the Patents directed to such Product-Specific Invention, and will promptly transfer to Bayer all documents and information necessary to file, prosecute, maintain, and enforce such Patent(s) and patent application(s). Bayer hereby grants to Onyx, effective upon such transfer of title, a non-exclusive, fully paid, perpetual, irrevocable, non-transferrable (except for any permitted assignment under Section 12.1) worldwide license to practice such transferred Product-Specific Invention. If Onyx declines to continue to prosecute a Patent in a particular country directed to a Product-Specific Invention for which Onyx is pursing patent protection in one or more other countries, it shall notify Bayer in writing sufficiently in advance so Bayer may, at its cost, assume the responsibility for the filing, in Onyx’s name, prosecution or maintenance of Patents directed to such Product-Specific Invention. In the case of other inventions within the Onyx Developed IP (that are not Product-Specific Inventions), Onyx will disclose the invention to the IP committee, as discussed above, but Bayer will have no right to file, prosecute or obtain assignment of any Patent to any such inventions.
2.4.6 Patent Enforcement. If either party learns of potential infringement of any Onyx Developed IP, where such infringement involves the use of the Product, it shall notify the other party. If a Third Party is infringing, or either Party reasonably believes a Third Party may be infringing, any Patent within the Onyx Developed IP by reason of (i) the manufacture, import, use, offer for sale or sale of a product competitive with the Product or (ii) the filing of an
17
[ * ] = 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.
abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) pursuant to 21 U.S.C. §355(j) or a new drug application pursuant to 21 U.S.C. §355(b)(2) of a product competitive with the Product by such Third Party (“Product-Specific Infringement”), [ * ] shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, control, and settle any action or proceeding with respect to such infringement by counsel of its own selection, at its expense. [ * ] shall provide [ * ] updates, via the IP Subcommittee, to [ * ] regarding the strategy and status of any such proceeding, and shall provide [ * ] an opportunity to comment. If [ * ] fails to bring or settle such an action or proceeding within [ * ] after receiving or giving written notice thereof (or, for actions brought under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, as amended, [ * ]), then [ * ] shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any such action by counsel of its own selection, at its expense. For all other Third Party infringement that is not a Product-Specific Infringement, the IP Committee shall discuss options for pursuing the infringer. Unless [ * ] agrees otherwise, [ * ] shall have the first right but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute, control, and settle any action or proceeding with respect to such infringement by counsel of its own selection, at its expense. [ * ] shall provide [ * ] updates, via the IP Subcommittee, to [ * ] regarding the strategy and status of any such proceeding, and shall provide [ * ] an opportunity to comment. The costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any action against an infringer brought in accordance with this Section shall be borne by the Party controlling the infringement action. Any monetary recovery in connection with such infringement action shall first be applied to reimburse the Party controlling the infringement action for its out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in taking such infringement action, and next to reimburse the other Party for its out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in assisting in such infringement action. Once the Parties have been reimbursed for such expenses then the remainder will be apportioned as follows: For Product-Specific Infringement (i) [ * ]; and (ii) [ * ]. For any other infringement, [ * ]. In any proceeding, the other Party will agree to be joined as a party plaintiff (to the extent required by applicable law) and provide the prosecuting party with reasonable assistance, at the requesting Party’s expense, to bring and prosecute such action or proceeding. Bayer shall not settle any action prosecuted under this Section 2.4.6 that would adversely limit the scope of any Patent within the Onyx Developed IP without the prior written consent of Onyx.
2.4.7 Drug Approval and Price Approval. In the event that Onyx conducts a Separate Development Program that results in Bayer obtaining Drug Approval of Product from the FDA or the EMA with respect to the applicable Separate Indication, Bayer shall promptly inform Onyx of such Drug Approval(s). Upon such Drug Approval and Price Approval (if any), Bayer shall pay Onyx the Separate Development Costs as provided in Section 4.2 (with such amounts subject to Bayer’s right to audit as provided in Section 4.7) and Bayer shall commercialize and promptly launch the Product for such Separate Indication as if the Separate Indication had been developed internally by Bayer (and not pursuant to a Separate Development Program). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bayer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) obtain Drug Approval and Price Approval (if any) of the Product for such Separate Indication in the United States, the major markets of the EU, [ * ] within [ * ] after first receipt of Drug Approval of the Product in the United States or the European Union (as the case may be) with respect to such Separate Indication, and (ii) launch the Product for such Separate Indication in all markets in which Drug Approval is obtained within a time period that

is consistent with similar product approvals (including Price Approval) and launches in such markets. In the event Onyx disputes whether Bayer has exercised Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain Price Approval in a given territory, Onyx may refer such dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 12.3.
2.4.8 Licenses. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bayer hereby grants to Onyx a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license (with the right to grant sublicenses with Bayer’s consent) under Information and Patents Controlled by Bayer and its Affiliates to use, have used, develop and have developed Compound and Product pursuant to Separate Development Programs and to otherwise conduct Separate Development Programs, including to perform regulatory activities to prepare Drug Approval Applications with respect to Separate Indications in the United States and/or the European Union. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Onyx hereby grants to Bayer, effective upon Bayer’s payment pursuant to Section 4.2 of [ * ] of the Separate Development Costs for a particular Separate Indication, an exclusive, royalty-bearing (to the extent of the royalties payable under this Agreement), worldwide license (with the right to grant sublicenses) under the Onyx Developed IP developed pursuant to the Separate Development Program which resulted in the approval for such Separate Indication to make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold, offer for sale, have offered for sale, import and have imported, the Product for all indications.
2.5 Commercialization Generally. Bayer shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for commercialization of the Product in all countries in the world, and Bayer shall conduct such commercialization in compliance with Applicable Laws under the oversight of the EC, and subject to strategic direction from the Alliance Steering Committee; provided, however, that Bayer shall have the final decision-making authority regarding Product Commercialization matters, subject to Onyx’s Co-Promotion rights and Section 2.4.7. The commercialization of Product in the United States shall be governed by the terms of Article 3. Bayer shall keep Onyx appropriately informed, through the EC or otherwise, of the Product commercialization activities performed by Bayer outside the United States, including by providing on a semi-annual basis a written report summarizing such commercialization activities conducted by or on behalf of Bayer since the last such report and including reasonable data from reports created by Bayer for its internal management purposes including year-to-date Product gross sales, net sales, manufacturer selling price, commercial costs and margins; final forecast of such metrics for the current year; and Product market analyses for each of the ten (10) largest countries (as measured by Net Sales), including overall plan, challenges & opportunities. The Parties hereby adopt and agree to implement, with respect to commercialization of Product both within and outside the United States, the Guiding Principles set forth in Section 2.7.1.
2.6 Information Delivery. In addition to any other information provided under this Agreement, Bayer shall provide to Onyx, in October of each calendar year commencing in the first year of commercial sales of Product, its then-current forecast of global sales of Product in the forthcoming calendar year, set forth on a calendar quarterly basis; Bayer shall provide Onyx updates to such forecast on at least a semi-annual basis. At least once every 12 months, and subject to Article 7, Bayer shall provide Onyx with a list of all Drug Approvals and Drug Approval Applications that cover the Product, and each Party shall provide the other Party with a list of all Patents Controlled by such Party that cover the Product or its manufacture or use; such list shall include the filing date and priority date of each such patent or patent application.

3.1 Generally. Bayer hereby agrees to retain Onyx on a co-exclusive basis with Bayer, to Co-Promote the Product, according to the Detailing Plan and the other terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by reference as legally binding terms.
3.2 Change of Control of Onyx. Onyx shall provide Bayer written notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control of Onyx within [ * ] after the closing of the transaction which effected such Change of Control. Bayer may, at any time within [ * ] following receipt of such notice, terminate Onyx’s rights of co-promotion under this Article 3 by delivery of written notice to Onyx. In the event Bayer provides such notice of termination, the Co-Promotion Expiration Date shall be [ * ] following the date of Bayer’s notice of termination. In such event, Bayer shall promptly modify the Co-Promotion Plan to provide for an orderly wind-down and transition of Onyx’s activities under this Article 3, and Onyx shall withdraw its sales force and MSLs from such Co-Promotion Program activities in a professional manner. During such period, Bayer shall remain responsible for payments as provided in Section 4.3. For clarity, Bayer’s right to terminate Onyx’s rights of co-promotion under this Agreement in the event of a Change of Control of Onyx shall have no effect on the Collaboration Agreement or Onyx’s rights of co-promotion with respect to Collaboration Products (as defined in such agreement), including Nexavar.
3.3 Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Parties hereby agree that, throughout the Co-Promotion Term and for a period of [ * ] immediately thereafter, neither will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment any employee of the other Party (or of the other Party’s Affiliates); provided, however, that the hiring of employees who respond to general advertisements for employment (not targeted to employees of the other Party or their Affiliates) shall not be deemed to violate the foregoing provision.

FINANCIAL TERMS
4.1 Royalties.
4.1.1 Royalty. Bayer shall pay to Onyx non-refundable, non-creditable royalties equal to twenty percent (20%) of Net Sales of all Products worldwide in human oncology during the Royalty Term. Bayer acknowledges that these payments are made pursuant to settlement of the Litigation and do not depend on the existence or applicability of Onyx intellectual property. In countries where a Product is approved for use only in human oncology, all Net Sales shall be royalty-bearing. In countries where a Product is approved for use in both human oncology and non-oncology (whether human or otherwise), the Parties shall agree on a mechanism to allocate sales between human oncology and non-oncology uses and, in the absence of agreement, may refer such issue to dispute resolution in accordance with Article 11.
4.1.2 Royalty Term. Royalties shall be paid under this Section 4.1 on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis during the period (the “Royalty Term”) from the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country until the later of (a) [ * ], or (b) [ * ]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bayer’s obligation to pay royalties pursuant to Section 4.1.1 shall [ * ] and the Royalty Term shall [ * ] if [ * ], or if [ * ].
4.1.3 Royalty Reports and Payments. Within [ * ] following the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the calendar quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of Product is made anywhere in the world, Bayer shall provide Onyx a report estimating Net Sales of the Product for such calendar quarter. Within [ * ] following the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the calendar quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of the Product is made anywhere in the world, Bayer shall provide Onyx with a report containing the following information for such calendar quarter, on a country-by-country basis: (i) the amount of gross sales of Product in such country, (ii) an itemized calculation of Net Sales showing deductions provided for in the definition of “Net Sales,” (iii) the conversion of such Net Sales from the currency of sale into Dollars, and (iv) the calculation of the royalty payment due on such sales pursuant to Section 4.1.1. Bayer shall pay to Onyx in Dollars all amounts due to Onyx pursuant to this Section 4.1 with respect to Net Sales by Bayer, its Affiliates and their respective licensees and sublicensees within [ * ] following the end of each calendar quarter in which royalties are due under Section 4.1.1.
4.1.4 Books and Records. Bayer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees to, keep complete and accurate books and records that disclose, on country-by-country basis, the total sales and Net Sales of Product, the number of units of Product sold, and all matters relating to those sales that are relevant for the purposes of determining the royalties due Onyx hereunder. Bayer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) maintain such books and records in sufficient detail to calculate all amounts payable hereunder and to verify compliance with Bayer’s obligations under this Agreement and (ii) retain such books and records until the later of (a) [ * ] after the end of the period to which such books and records pertain, and (b) the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof), or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Laws.
24
[ * ] = 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.
4.1.5 Blocked Currency. In any country in which the local currency is blocked and cannot be removed from the country, royalties accrued on Net Sales in such country shall be paid to Onyx in the equivalent amount in Dollars.
4.2 Payment of Separate Development Costs. If Onyx conducts one or more Separate Development Programs and Bayer obtains Drug Approval of the Product from the FDA or EMA with respect to one or more Separate Indications based upon data generated pursuant to a Separate Development Program, Bayer shall pay to Onyx [ * ] of the Separate Development Costs (or such greater amount as set forth below) with respect to each and every such Separate Indication (with such amounts subject to Bayer’s right to audit as provided in Section 4.7). Following Drug Approval of Product for each such Separate Indication, Onyx shall provide Bayer with an invoice setting forth, in Dollars, [ * ] of the Separate Development Costs incurred with respect to such Separate Indication, together with reasonable supporting documentation of such Separate Development Costs, provided that if such first approval was obtained in the United States, the amount of such invoice shall be [ * ] of the Separate Development Costs unless, at the time of the first dosing of a patient in the first clinical trial for such Separate Indication, the United States regulatory regime had changed to require Price Approval prior to the commercial launch of a human pharmaceutical in a new indication (it being agreed that Price Approval is not required in the United States as of the Effective Date). If such first approval was either (i) obtained with the EMA or (ii) obtained in the United States and the United States regulatory regime had changed prior to the first dosing of a patient in the first clinical trial for such Separate Indication to require Price Approval, then Bayer shall pay to Onyx an additional [ * ] of the Separate Development Costs with respect to the Product upon the earlier of (X) Price Approval is obtained in the jurisdiction (European Union or U.S. as the case may be) where the first Drug Approval was obtained or (Y) approval, including Price Approval if required, has been obtained in the other jurisdiction (e.g., if the first approval is obtained with the EMA and, prior to Price Approval in the European Union, approval is obtained in the United States and no Price Approval is then required in the United States). In all cases in which a payment is conditioned upon Price Approval, if Price Approval is required in the European Union, Bayer’s obligation to pay [ * ] of the Separate Development Costs shall be conditioned upon Price Approval being granted in [ * ] major countries of the European Union. In the event Onyx disputes whether Bayer has exercised Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain Price Approval in a given territory pursuant to Section 2.4.7, Onyx may refer such dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 12.3 and, in the event it is determined that Bayer failed to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain Price Approval, Onyx shall be entitled to receive the additional payment as if Price Approval had been obtained. Bayer’s obligation to pay Onyx the Separate Development Costs shall, in the case of costs for services provided by Bayer, be [ * ] of the costs representing services provided by Bayer to Onyx. Bayer shall pay to Onyx, in Dollars, the amount invoiced within [ * ] after the receipt of the invoice (or each invoice, in the case of multiple payments). Onyx shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep complete and accurate books and records pertaining to its and their Separate Development Costs, in sufficient detail to calculate all amounts payable by Bayer under this Section 4.2. Onyx shall retain such books and records until
25
[ * ] = 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.
the later of (i) [ * ] after the end of the period to which such books and records pertain, and (ii) the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof), or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Laws.
4.3 Co-Promotion Program Payments. In addition to all other amounts payable by Bayer to Onyx hereunder, Bayer shall pay to Onyx its Detail Fees, MSL Expenses and Additional Expenses in accordance with Article III of Exhibit A. Onyx shall keep complete and accurate books and records pertaining to its Detail Fees, MSL Expenses and Additional Expenses, in sufficient detail to calculate all amounts payable by Bayer under this Section 4.3. Onyx shall retain such books and records until the later of (i) [ * ] after the end of the period to which such books and records pertain, and (ii) the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof), or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Laws.
4.4 Mode of Payment. All payments under this Agreement shall be made by deposit of Dollars in the requisite amount to such bank account as Onyx may from time to time designate by notice to Bayer. For the purpose of calculating any sums due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than Dollars), a Party shall convert any amount expressed in a foreign currency into Dollar equivalents using its standard conversion methodology consistent with United States generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied or international financial reporting standards consistently applied, as applicable. Such standard conversion methodology shall be based upon the arithmetic average of the daily exchange rates (obtained from the Reuters Daily Rate Report or The Wall Street Journal, Eastern U.S. Edition, or, if not so available, as furnished by a Party’s local Affiliates) during the period from (a) the 25th day of the preceding month (or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) through (b) the 24th day of the current month (or, if such 24th day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).
4.5 Taxes. The amounts payable by Bayer to Onyx pursuant to this Agreement (each a “Payment”) shall not be reduced on account of any taxes unless required by Applicable Laws. If any Payment is subject to a deduction or withholding of tax, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform all acts (including by executing all appropriate documents) so as to enable Onyx to take advantage of any applicable double taxation agreement or treaty. In the event there is no applicable double taxation agreement or treaty, or if an applicable double taxation agreement or treaty reduces but does not eliminate such tax, Bayer shall pay the applicable tax to the appropriate Governmental or Regulatory Authority, shall deduct the amount paid from the Payment due Onyx, and shall provide to Onyx evidence of such payment within [ * ] following such payment.
4.6 Interest on Late Payments. If any payment due under this Agreement is not paid when due, then such payment shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: (a) [ * ] the United States prime rate as published by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, or any successor thereto, at 12:01 a.m. on the first day of each calendar quarter in which such payment is overdue or (b) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law; in each case calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent, compounded monthly.

4.7 Audit. At the request of the other Party, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, permit an independent auditor designated by the auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the audited Party, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to audit the books and records maintained pursuant to this Article 4 (subject to obligations of confidentiality to such audited Party) to ensure the accuracy of all reports and payments made hereunder, but only as to any period ending not more than [ * ] prior to the date of such request, and not more frequently than [ * ]. Except as provided below, the cost of this audit shall be borne by the auditing Party, unless the audit reveals a variance of more than five percent (5%) from the reported amounts, in which case the audited Party shall bear the cost of the audit. Unless disputed pursuant to Section 4.8 below, if such audit concludes that (a) additional amounts were owed by the audited Party, the audited Party shall pay the additional amounts, with interest from the date originally due as provided in Section 4.6 or (b) excess payments were made by the audited Party, the auditing Party shall reimburse such excess payments, in either case ((a) or (b)), within thirty (30) days after the date on which such audit is completed by the auditing Party.
4.8 Audit Dispute. In the event of a dispute with respect to any audit under Section 4.7, the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve the disagreement. If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such dispute within [ * ], the dispute shall be submitted for resolution to a certified public accounting firm jointly selected by each Party’s certified public accountants or to such other Person as the Parties shall mutually agree (the “Financial Expert”). The decision of the Financial Expert shall be final and the costs of the Financial Expert as well as the initial audit shall be [ * ]. Not later than [ * ] after the decision of the Financial Expert and in accordance with such decision, the audited Party shall pay the additional amounts, with interest from the date originally due as provided in Section 4.6, or the auditing Party shall reimburse such excess payments, as applicable.
4.9 Confidentiality. The receiving Party shall treat all information subject to review under this Article 4 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Article 7 and the Parties shall cause the independent auditor and the Financial Expert to enter into reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreements with the audited Party obligating such firms to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreements.
ARTICLE 5
PHARMACOVIGILANCE
The Parties will cooperate with each other in order to fulfill all regulatory requirements concerning drug safety surveillance and product complaint reporting in the United States and in all countries in which Onyx is conducting any Separate Development Program. For such purpose, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, the Parties shall enter into a separate agreement setting forth the pharmacovigilance responsibilities of the Parties and the procedures for safety information exchange to be carried out by the Parties with respect to the

[ * ] = 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.
Product (the “Pharmacovigilance Agreement”). In this regard, the Parties currently have in effect an agreement entitled Procedures for Exchange of Pharmacovigilance Data Regarding Sorafenib dated June 21, 2005, as amended from time to time thereafter (the “Existing Pharmacovigilance Agreement”). The Pharmacovigilance Agreement shall contain terms similar to those of the Existing Pharmacovigilance Agreement.
ARTICLE 6
TERM AND TERMINATION
6.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis until the expiration of the Royalty Term for such Product in such country (the “Term”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties’ rights and obligations relating to the Co-Promotion Program in the United States, as set forth in Article 3 and Section 4.3, shall terminate on the Co-Promotion Expiration Date.
6.2 Breaches. If either Party (the “Breaching Party”) shall have committed a breach of this Agreement, the other Party (the “Notifying Party”) shall provide written notice of such breach to the Breaching Party. Upon receipt of a notice of breach other than a Material Breach, the alleged Breaching Party shall have [ * ] (or [ * ] with respect to payment breaches) within which to cure such breach following receipt of such notice; provided, however, for breaches other than payment, if the breach is capable of being cured but cannot be reasonably cured in such [ * ] period, then the alleged Breaching Party shall have such additional time as necessary to cure the breach if the alleged Breaching Party (i) during such [ * ] period has submitted a plan that, if successfully carried out, would be effective in curing such breach, and has commenced its execution of such plan, and (ii) diligently pursues such plan thereafter. If the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of the Notifying Party during the foregoing cure period, then the Notifying Party may, at its discretion, resort to the dispute resolution mechanisms of Article 11 with respect to claims for damages, attorneys’ fees and court costs, requests for equitable relief and other available remedies in law or equity, provided that the Notifying Party shall have no right to terminate this Agreement for such breach.
6.3 Termination of Co-Promotion Program for Material Breach. The Parties agree that, except for Onyx’s Co-Promotion Program rights and obligations, this Agreement shall not be terminated under any circumstances. If Onyx shall have committed a Material Breach (defined below), Bayer may terminate all of Onyx’s rights and obligations relating to the Co-Promotion Program in the United States (as set forth in Article 3 and Section 4.3) as provided in this Section 6.3.
6.3.1 Material Breach. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Breach” means a breach of this Agreement that is [ * ] (provided, that without limiting the foregoing, [ * ].
6.3.2 Notice and Cure. If a Party believes that a Material Breach has occurred (or will occur in the event such breach is determined to exist), it shall give written notice to the
28
[ * ] = 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.
Breaching Party of the nature of the breach and the reason the Notifying Party believes it is a Material Breach. The alleged Breaching Party shall then have a period of [ * ] following receipt of such notice in which to cure the breach; provided, however, if the Material Breach is capable of being cured but cannot be reasonably cured in such [ * ] period, then the alleged Breaching Party shall have such additional time as necessary to cure the breach if the alleged Breaching Party (i) during such [ * ]-period has submitted a plan that, if successfully carried out, would be effective in curing such Material Breach, and has commenced its execution of such plan, and (ii) diligently pursues such plan thereafter. Any such notice of alleged Material Breach by the Notifying Party shall include a reasonably detailed description of all relevant facts and circumstances demonstrating, supporting and/or relating to each such alleged Material Breach by the Breaching Party. In the event there is a dispute as to whether a Material Breach has occurred, this Agreement shall survive pending a determination pursuant to Section 11 below that a Material Breach has occurred.
6.3.3 Termination of Co-Promotion Program. If an alleged Material Breach by Onyx is not cured within the cure period specified in Section 6.3.2, Bayer may give notice of termination of the Co-Promotion Program (“Notice of Termination of Co-Promotion Program”). If Onyx agrees that a Material Breach has occurred and was not cured within the cure period, then Bayer may proceed to terminate the Co-Promotion Program and all of Onyx’s rights and obligations thereunder (including all rights and obligations under Article 3 and Section 4.3). If Onyx does not agree that a Material Breach has occurred and was not cured within the cure period, then the Co-Promotion Program shall survive, and the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto, until the issue of whether there has been an uncured Material Breach by Onyx is resolved in accordance with Article 11. Either Party may elect to arbitrate under Article 11 for an advance declaration that a breach, if found, would constitute a Material Breach hereunder. If Bayer gives Notice of Termination of Co-Promotion Program, and it is later determined by a court pursuant to Article 11 that in fact there has not been an uncured Material Breach by Onyx, then the Co-Promotion Program, and all of the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto, shall continue in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the giving of any notice of termination pursuant to this Section 6.3.3, each Party shall continue to fulfill its obligations under the Co-Promotion Program at all times until the effective date of any such termination.
6.4 Effects of Termination. Neither termination of the Co-Promotion Program nor expiration of this Agreement shall release or operate to discharge either Party from any liability or obligation that may have accrued prior to such termination or expiration. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, upon the Co-Promotion Expiration Date, neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations under Article 3 or Exhibit A or otherwise with respect to the Co-Promotion Program. Onyx and Bayer shall reasonably cooperate to transition to Bayer Onyx’s Co-Promotion Program activities so as to minimize disruption to Product sales and Promotion activity, and Onyx shall withdraw its sales force from such Co-Promotion Program activities and its MSLs from the Medical Support Program in a professional manner. Notwithstanding termination of the Co-Promotion Program, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, including Bayer’s obligation to pay royalties pursuant to Section 4.1. Any termination of the Co-Promotion Program as provided herein shall not be an exclusive remedy but shall be in addition to any remedies whatsoever that may be available to the terminating Party pursuant to Article 11.

In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder.
7.3 Public Announcements; Publications. During the Term, each Party (the “Publishing Party”) shall submit to the other Party (the “Non-Publishing Party”) for review and approval all proposed press releases, public filings with the SEC, academic, scientific and medical publications and public presentations that disclose previously undisclosed technical information regarding the Product, provided that each Party shall have the right to make disclosures which in its judgment are required by law, regulation, or the rules of any nationally-recognized securities exchange. Such review and approval shall be conducted for the purposes of preserving intellectual property protection and the confidentiality of trade secrets and determining whether any portion of the proposed publication or presentation containing the Confidential Information of the Non-Publishing Party should be modified or deleted. Written copies of such proposed publications and presentations (other than press releases or SEC or securities exchange filings) shall be submitted to the Non-Publishing Party as soon as reasonably practicable before submission for publication or presentation. In the case of proposed SEC filings or other securities law filings containing non-technical information regarding the Product or this Agreement, the Parties shall follow the procedures and agreements they have in place with respect to disclosures under the Collaboration Agreement, provided that each Party shall have the right to make disclosures which in its judgment are required by law, regulation, or the rules of any nationally-recognized securities exchange. Onyx and Bayer will each comply with standard academic practice regarding authorship of scientific publications and recognition of contribution of other Parties in any publications.

12.3.2 The Parties agree that all disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including whether a dispute is subject to arbitration) shall be solely and exclusively resolved through arbitration in San Francisco, California before a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators, which shall be selected as follows within thirty (30) days from the request for arbitration: Bayer shall select one arbitrator, Onyx shall select one arbitrator, and Bayer and Onyx shall seek to agree on the selection of the third arbitrator; provided that if Bayer and Onyx fail to agree on such third arbitrator within such thirty (30)-day period, then the arbitrators designated by Onyx and Bayer shall select the third arbitrator within fifteen (15) days.

38
[ * ] = 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.
administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures, except that the Parties expressly agree that any arbitration pursuant to this Section 12.3.2 shall be a “baseball-style” arbitration governed by Rule 33 of the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (effective October 1, 2010). Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with a dispute brought under this Section 12.3.2, provided that Bayer and Onyx shall share equally in the costs of the arbitration panel and any fee imposed by JAMS. Notwithstanding any Rule to the contrary, the Parties expressly agree to the following discovery procedures for any arbitration initiated pursuant to this Section 12.3.2: the Parties shall be entitled to take discovery within the scope provided for in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures. With respect to limits on the type and amount of discovery, each Party shall be entitled to [ * ]. The arbitration panel may allow discovery beyond these limits upon a showing a good cause.
12.3.3 Without modifying the agreement set forth in Section 12.3.2, the Parties intend that in the event of an operational dispute under this Agreement, the Parties shall seek to resolve their differences through an expedited determination by a neutral expert who has no affiliation whatsoever with either Party. The exact process and scope of such expert determination shall be determined by the Parties at that time (or from time to time in the event of multiple referrals to such an expert). In the absence of mutual agreement to pursue such an expedited expert determination, the rules of Section 12.3.2 shall apply. No written statement of reasons shall accompany the arbitration decision unless both Parties agree that such a statement is necessary. To the extent non-monetary relief is an issue in the arbitration, each Party shall submit its proposal regarding non-monetary relief, and the arbitration panel shall choose between the Parties’ proposals.
12.4 Waiver. Except as specifically provided for herein, the waiver from time to time by either of the Parties of any of their rights or their failure to exercise any remedy shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver of same or of any other of such Party’s rights or remedies provided in this Agreement.

If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Party or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held to be invalid or unenforceable, then (i) the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to the Parties or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (ii) the
39
[ * ] = 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.
Parties covenant and agree to renegotiate any such term, covenant or application thereof in good faith in order to provide a reasonably acceptable alternative to the term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the application thereof that is invalid or unenforceable, it being the intent of the Parties that the basic purposes of this Agreement are to be effectuated.
12.7 Relationship of the Parties. The Parties hereto are acting and performing as independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement creates the relationship of partnership, joint venture, sales agency or principal and agent. Neither Party is the agent of the other, and neither Party may hold itself out as such to any other Person.
12.8 No Implied Licenses. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement, such Party shall not by entering into this Agreement have, assert or acquire any right, title or interest in or to any intellectual property or other proprietary rights of the other Party.
12.9 Counterparts; Electronic Execution.

Facsimile or PDF signatures of authorized signatories of the Parties will be deemed to be original signatures, will be valid and binding upon the Parties, and, upon delivery, will constitute due execution of this Agreement.
12.10 Force Majeure.

The Party affected shall give prompt notice of any such cause to the other Party. The Party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations hereunder as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled and the Party receiving notice shall be similarly excused from its respective obligations which it is thereby disabled from performing; provided, however, that such affected Party commences and continues to take reasonable and diligent actions to cure such cause.
12.11 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
12.12 Not An Amendment of The Collaboration Agreement. Although this contract addresses matters arising from the Collaboration Agreement, it is a separate contract and shall not be considered an amendment of the Collaboration Agreement.

2
[ * ] = 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.
Working Group for review and comment, but not approval, amendments and updates to the Co-Promotion Plan not less than [ * ], sufficiently in advance of each Party’s sales direction meeting, which will occur generally at the same time, or more frequently as needed to take into account changed circumstances or completion, commencement or cessation of the Co-Promotion Program activities not contemplated by the then-current Co-Promotion Plan, subject to Section 2.1(b) of this Exhibit A. The Co-Promotion Plan shall set forth the manner in which the Sales Program and the Medical Affairs Program are to be implemented in the United States during the period to which the Co-Promotion Plan relates and shall address consistent with Section 2.2(c) of this Exhibit A: (i) aggregate number of annual Details to be provided by the Parties, the geographic allocation and specific physician targets of such Details and such other specific allocation of resources as to be included in a Detailing Plan; (ii) Product positioning and strategy; (iii) training programs to be conducted; (iv) the allocation and list of Target Healthcare Professionals to be targeted for Detailing, including allocation by geographic territory; (v) any information to be specifically included in the CRM System; (vii) administration and logistics of the patient assistance program; (viii) market research; and (ix) such other information and projects relating to the Sales Program as are deemed advisable by the Parties.

Bayer shall also deliver to the Working Group (if it has not already received it) such information regarding the sales program for Collaboration Compounds (including the topics listed in items (i) through (viii) above and the preceding sentence) as would be relevant to the development of the Co-Promotion Plan for the Product. The purpose of the foregoing exchange and discussion of materials shall be to enable Onyx personnel to understand and contribute to the marketing and sales of Product, and to seek to coordinate such activities with activities related to Collaboration Compounds and the Parties allocation of rights and obligations under the Collaboration Agreement, while preserving the right of Bayer to make final decisions related to the marketing and sales of Product. Bayer will promptly provide Onyx with any updated projections for such First Commercial Sale and anticipated delays.
(b) Onyx Resource Commitment. Onyx shall have the right during the Co-Promotion Term to deploy up to [ * ] of the aggregate Details set forth in the then-current Co-Promotion Plan.

Thereafter, no later than [ * ] of the first full calendar year of Product sales in the United States, and [ * ] of each calendar year thereafter during the Co-Promotion Term, Bayer shall provide Onyx with the total number of Details to be deployed in the United States for the upcoming calendar year. Within [ * ] after Onyx’s receipt from Bayer of each of these amounts, Onyx shall determine in its discretion, and shall inform Bayer of, the percentage of Details (not to exceed [ * ] of the aggregate) that Onyx shall deploy during the upcoming calendar year (such percentage, the “Yearly Detail Percentage Election”).

In the event Bayer decreases the number of Details from the level set forth in the then-current Co-Promotion Plan by more than [ * ],
3
[ * ] = 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.
Onyx shall have [ * ] to implement such decrease. In the event that Bayer increases the number of Details by more than [ * ] from the level set forth in the then-current Co-Promotion Plan, it shall give Onyx at least [ * ] to implement any such increase. In connection with any such proposed increase or decrease, Bayer shall amend the annual Co-Promotion Plan accordingly.
(c) Consistency with the Promotion of Collaboration Products. In furtherance of the Parties’ rights and obligations under the Collaboration Agreement with respect to Collaboration Products and this Agreement, Bayer agrees that it shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to plan, develop and implement Onyx’s participation in the Co-Promotion Program in a manner that is consistent with the commercial activities allocated to the Parties under the Collaboration Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bayer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) allocate Onyx’s activities under the Co-Promotion Plan, Detailing Plan and Target Call List in a manner that is consistent with Onyx’s commercial activities with Collaboration Compounds where applicable; and (ii) provide that the allocation of Onyx’s sales representatives by geography for the Product is consistent with those territories allocated to Onyx for Collaboration Products. In addition, each Party agrees not to take any action under this Agreement that would contravene the other Party’s decision making and other rights under the Collaboration Agreement with respect to Collaboration Products.
(d) Bayer Obligations. Bayer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform its commercial activities for the Product and obligations under this Agreement (including development and implementation of the Co-Promotion Plan, Detailing Plan and Call List) in a manner reasonably designed to facilitate Onyx’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement and consistent with the performance provided to comparable Bayer resources, including the timely availability of Marketing Materials and Product Training Materials. Onyx shall not be responsible for any delay or breach of this Agreement to the extent directly caused by Bayer’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Onyx Sales Force. Onyx shall perform its obligations under the Detailing Plan through representatives under the direct and exclusive authority, supervision and control of Onyx at all times during the Co-Promotion Term. Onyx shall supervise and maintain such competent and qualified sales representatives as may be required to Promote the Product in the United States as provided herein and in the Detailing Plan. Onyx shall not [ * ] without the prior approval of Bayer, except for [ * ] as part of the Co-Promotion Plan. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, Onyx sales representatives shall (i) be full-time employees on the payroll of Onyx, (ii) of a quality at least equivalent to that provided by Onyx to product lines it is promoting at the time of its Co-Promotion hereunder and (iii) not be Debarred by the FDA. At least [ * ] of Onyx sales representatives providing in-person Detailing of the Product shall have a minimum of [ * ] of pharmaceutical sales experience, including at least [ * ] of oncology sales experience.
(f) Compensation Programs for Onyx Sales Representatives. Onyx shall be solely responsible for any compensation that is payable to the Onyx sales representatives. Onyx represents and warrants to Bayer that its compensation programs for the Onyx sales representatives do not, and will not, provide financial incentives that, to its knowledge, facilitate
4
