Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Licensed Know-How shall be sublicensable only in connection with the rights of XXXXX with respect to Products and not with respect to any other products or services. During the Term, neither AMGEN nor any of its Affiliates will enter into any agreement or otherwise license, grant, assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise encumber or dispose any right, title, or interest in or to any of the Licensed Patents or Licensed Know-How, which agreement, license, grant, assignment, transfer, conveyance, encumbrance, or disposition would conflict with the rights granted to XXXXX hereunder.

-13-

Section 2.2 Sublicenses. XXXXX shall be entitled, without the prior consent of AMGEN, to grant one or more sublicenses, in full or in part, by a written agreement to Third Parties (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers), provided, however, that as a condition precedent to and requirement of any such sublicense: (a) any such permitted sublicense shall be consistent with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (b) XXXXX will continue to be responsible for full performance of XXXXX’x obligations under the Agreement and will be responsible for all actions of such Sublicensee as if such Sublicensee were XXXXX hereunder.

-22-

(d) [***] percent ([***]%) on the portion of annual Net Sales of such Product that is equal to or greater than [***] U.S. Dollars ($[***]).

Royalties will be payable on a quarterly basis; any such payments shall be made within [***] ([***]) days after the end of the calendar quarter during which the applicable Net Sales occurred. XXXXX’x obligation to pay royalties with respect to each Product in a particular country shall commence upon the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country and shall expire on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis on the later of (i) the date on which the Exploitation of such Product is no longer Covered by a Valid Claim of a Licensed Patent or Program Patent in such country or (ii) the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country (the “Royalty Term”).

3.3.2 Royalty Reductions.

(a) On a country-by-country basis, in the event that the Exploitation of a Licensed Product is not Covered by a Valid Claim of a [***] in such country, then the royalty rates set forth in Section 3.3.1 (Royalty Rate; Royalty Term) with respect to Net Sales for such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced by [***] effective as of the date such Licensed Product is no longer Covered by a Valid Claim of a [***] in such country.

(b) On a country-by-country basis, in the event that the Exploitation of a Product is not Covered by either (1) a Valid Claim of a [***] or (2) a Valid Claim of a [***] in such country, then the royalty rates set forth in Section 3.3.1 (Royalty Rate; Royalty Term) with respect to Net Sales for such Product in such country shall be reduced by [***] effective as of the date such Product is no longer Covered by a Valid Claim of a [***] in such country.

(c) On a country-by-country basis, in the event that one or more Generic Products to a Small Molecule Product is launched in any country in the Territory during the Royalty Term for such Small Molecule Product in such country, and the average quarterly Net Sales of such Small Molecule Product in such country during the subsequent [***] ([***]) Calendar Quarters decrease by more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the average quarterly Net Sales of such Small Molecule Product in such country during the [***] ([***]) Calendar Quarters immediately preceding the Calendar Quarter in which the first Generic Product is launched in such country, the royalty rates provided in Section 3.3.1 for such Small Molecule Product shall be reduced in such country by [***] for each Calendar Quarter in the remainder of such Royalty Term. For the purposes of this Section 3.3.2(c), the term “launched” shall refer to the listing of a wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) price for the Generic Product on the applicable pricing compendium.

3.3.3 Third Party Royalties. If XXXXX, its Affiliates or any Sublicensee is required by (a) a future order by a court of competent jurisdiction, (b) settlement agreement, (c) license or contract, or (d) other legally binding commitment to make royalty payments to a Third Party, in each case in exchange for a license or other right under Patent Rights held by such Third Party and such license or other rights are necessary for the Exploitation of any Licensed Compound or

-23-

Program Compound that is derived from a Licensed Compound and the Exploitation of such Licensed Compound would also require a license to such Patent Rights in a given country, then XXXXX shall be entitled to deduct from royalties due to AMGEN under this Agreement with respect to Net Sales on all Licensed Products containing such Licensed Compound or Program Compound in a given Calendar Quarter in each such country an amount equal to [***] of the royalties actually paid to such Third Party in such Calendar Quarter as consideration for such license under such Patent Rights, up to a maximum amount of [***] of the royalties due to AMGEN in each affected country in such Calendar Quarter.

3.3.4 Maximum Reduction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the maximum aggregate reduction with respect to royalties payable on any Product in any calendar quarter during the applicable Royalty Term in any country pursuant to Section 3.3.2 (Royalty Reductions) and Section 3.3.3 (Third Party Royalties) shall be [***].

3.3.5 Mutual Convenience of the Parties. The royalty and other payment obligations set forth hereunder have been agreed to by the Parties for the purpose of reflecting and advancing their mutual convenience, including the ease of calculating and paying royalties and other amounts to AMGEN.

Section 3.4 Method of Payment. [***]

[***]

Section 3.5 Royalty Reports. After the First Commercial Sale of the first Product and until expiration of the last Royalty Term, XXXXX shall prepare and deliver to AMGEN royalty reports of the sale of the Products by the Selling Parties for each calendar quarter within forty-five (45) days of the end of each such calendar quarter specifying in the aggregate and on the Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis: (a) total gross amounts for each Product sold or otherwise disposed of by a Selling Party; (b) amounts deducted by category in accordance with the definition of “Net Sales” in Article 1 (Definitions) from gross amounts to calculate Net Sales; (c) Net Sales; and (d) royalties payable.

Section 3.6 Currency Conversion. With respect to Net Sales invoiced in U.S. Dollars, such Net Sales invoiced shall be expressed in U.S. Dollars. With respect to Net Sales invoiced in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, such Net Sales invoiced shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent using a rate of exchange which corresponds to the rate used by the Selling Party in recording such receipt, for the respective reporting period, related to recording such Net Sales in its books and records that are maintained in accordance with GAAP. If a Selling Party is not required to perform such currency conversion for its GAAP reporting with respect to the applicable period, then for such period such Selling Party shall convert its amounts received incurred into U.S. Dollars using a rate of exchange which corresponds to the noon buying rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern U.S. Edition on the second to last business day of the Calendar Quarter (or such other publication as agreed-upon by the Parties). Any royalty amount shall be calculated based upon the U.S. Dollar equivalent calculated in accordance with the foregoing.

-24-

Section 3.7 Late Payments. In the event that any payment due hereunder is not made when due, the payment shall accrue interest beginning on the day following the due date thereof, calculated at the annual rate of the sum of (a) [***] plus (b) the prime rate effective for the date that payment was due, as published by the Wall Street Journal, Eastern U.S. Edition, the interest being compounded on the last day of each calendar quarter; provided, however, that in no event shall said annual interest rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by Law. Each such payment when made shall be accompanied by all interest so accrued. Said interest and the payment and acceptance thereof shall not negate or waive the right of any Party to seek any other remedy, legal or equitable, to which it may be entitled because of the delinquency of any payment including, but not limited to termination of this Agreement as set forth in Article 10 (Term & Termination).

Section 3.8 Records and Audits. XXXXX will keep complete and accurate records of the underlying revenue and expense data relating to the calculations of Net Sales generated in the then current calendar year and payments required under this Agreement, and during the preceding three (3) calendar years. AMGEN will have the right, once annually at its own expense, to have a nationally recognized, independent, certified public accounting firm, selected by it and subject to XXXXX’x prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), review any such records of XXXXX and its Affiliates and Sublicensees (the “Audited Party”) in the location(s) where such records are maintained by the Audited Party upon reasonable written notice (which shall be no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice) and during regular business hours and under obligations of strict confidence, for the sole purpose of verifying the basis and accuracy of payments made under Section 3.3 Section 3.1 (Royalties) within the thirty-six (36) month period preceding the date of the request for review. No calendar year or portion thereof will be subject to audit under this Section more than once. XXXXX will receive a copy of each such report concurrently with receipt by AMGEN. Should such inspection lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to AMGEN’s detriment, XXXXX will, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such report from the accounting firm, pay any undisputed amount of the discrepancy together with interest at the rate set forth in Section 3.7 (Late Payments). AMGEN will pay the full cost of the review unless the underpayment of amounts due to AMGEN is [***] for the entire period being examined, in which case XXXXX will pay the cost charged by such accounting firm for such review. Should the audit lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to XXXXX’x detriment, XXXXX may credit the amount of the discrepancy, without interest, against future payments payable to AMGEN under this Agreement, and if there are no such payments payable, then AMGEN shall pay to XXXXX the amount of the discrepancy, without interest, within [***] days of AMGEN’s receipt of the report.

Section 3.9 Taxes.

3.9.1 Use Tax. XXXXX is responsible for the payment of any state or local sales or use, or similar fees or taxes arising as a result of the transfer of Licensed Materials, including, specifically the Licensed Lead Antibody Compound drug substance inventory and consumables within the Licensed Materials, by AMGEN to XXXXX pursuant to Section 2.5 (Transfer of Licensed Know-How and Licensed Materials), and XXXXX will remit such fees or taxes to the proper taxing jurisdiction, when deemed taxable by XXXXX. To the extent XXXXX is unable to complete and file any required tax returns or other tax documents relating to such fees or taxes itself, the Parties will

-25-

cooperate in completing and filing such returns or documents relating to such fees or taxes. XXXXX will deliver to AMGEN a MA Resale Certificate (ST-4) or MA Exemption Certificate (ST-12), as may be applicable to the transfer of the Licensed Materials. The Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to deliver and receive the Licensed Materials, as appropriate, through electronic delivery (other than Licensed Lead Antibody Compound drug substance and any other tangible inventory included in the Licensed Material) or in such other manner reasonably calculated in accordance with applicable law, and take all other commercially reasonable actions necessary, to minimize or avoid the incurrence of any such taxes or fees.

3.9.2 Withholding. In the event that any Law requires XXXXX to withhold taxes with respect to any payment to be made by XXXXX pursuant to this Agreement, XXXXX will notify AMGEN of such withholding requirement prior to making the payment to AMGEN and provide such assistance to AMGEN, including the provision of such standard documentation as may be required by a tax authority, as may be reasonably necessary in AMGEN’s efforts to claim an exemption from or reduction of such taxes. XXXXX will, in accordance with such Law withhold taxes from the amount due, remit such taxes to the appropriate tax authority, and furnish AMGEN with proof of payment of such taxes within thirty (30) days following the payment. If taxes are paid to a tax authority, XXXXX shall provide reasonable assistance to AMGEN to obtain a refund of taxes withheld, or obtain a credit with respect to taxes paid. Taxes withheld pursuant to this Section 3.9.2 will be treated as payments to AMGEN hereunder, and shall reduce payments otherwise required to be made to AMGEN by the amount withheld.

3.9.3 VAT. All payments due to AMGEN from XXXXX pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid exclusive of any value-added tax (“VAT”) (which, if applicable, shall be payable by XXXXX upon receipt of a valid VAT invoice). If AMGEN determines that it is required to report any such tax, XXXXX shall promptly provide AMGEN with applicable receipts and other documentation necessary or appropriate for such report. For clarity, this Section 3.9.3 (VAT) is not intended to limit XXXXX’x right to deduct value-added taxes in determining Net Sales.

3.9.4 Tax Treatment of Equity and Payments.

(a) AMGEN and XXXXX intend to treat the issuance to AMGEN of the AMGEN Shares and the payment of any Milestone Payments and any royalties pursuant to this Article 3 as consideration for the transfer of Licensed Patents and Licensed Know-How to XXXXX for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and applicable state, local or non-U.S. Tax purposes).

(b) AMGEN and XXXXX intend to treat the transfer of the Licensed Patents and Licensed Know-How to XXXXX in exchange for the AMGEN Shares , any Milestone Payments and any royalties pursuant to this Article 3 as part of an integrated transaction constituting a transfer described in Section 351 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and any analogous provision of applicable state, local or non-U.S. law, and agree that the fair market value of the AMGEN Shares as of the issuance date thereof shall be equal to the product of the price per share paid by investors for such shares multiplied by the number of shares issued to AMGEN.

-26-

(c) AMGEN and XXXXX intend to treat the issuance of the AMGEN Shares issued after the first closing and the payment of any Milestone Payments or royalties under this Agreement as additional consideration in respect of the transfer of the Licensed Patents and Licensed Know-How to XXXXX for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for applicable state, local and non-U.S. purposes as part of an integrated transaction constituting a transfer described in Section 351 of the Code and any analogous provision of applicable state, local or non-U.S. law, and agree that the AMGEN shares issued at or after the initial closing of the Series A Financing shall have a fair market value equal to the product of the price per share paid by investors for such shares multiplied by the number of shares issued to AMGEN.

(d) AMGEN and XXXXX shall file all Tax returns, reports, schedules, information statements and other documents consistently with the understandings set forth in this Section 3.9.4, and shall take no contrary position on any such Tax return, or in any audit, claim, investigation or proceeding in respect of Taxes unless otherwise by applicable Federal, state, local or non-U.S. law.

(e) AMGEN represents that the Licensed Patents, the Licensed Know How and any other property contributed or licensed to XXXXX pursuant to this Agreement (i) constitute “property” within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code and (ii) do not have an adjusted tax basis for applicable tax purposes in AMGEN’s hands.

(f) AMGEN (i) will not elect out of the installment method of reporting under Section 453 of the Code with respect to the transactions set forth in this Agreement and (ii) represents and warrants to XXXXX that Section 362(e)(2)(C) of the Code does not and will not apply to the transactions set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4. PATENT PROSECUTION, MAINTENANCE, & INFRINGEMENT

Section 4.1 Intellectual Property Ownership.

4.1.1 Except to the extent expressly specified to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) each Party shall retain and own all right, title, and interest in and to all Patent Rights, trade secrets, proprietary rights and other intellectual property rights (collectively “Inventions”) conceived or created solely by such Party; (ii) the Parties shall jointly own all right, title, and interest in and to Inventions conceived or created jointly by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement (“Joint Inventions”) and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, neither Party shall have any duty to account or obtain the consent of the other Party (such consent deemed given hereunder) in order to exploit, license or assign its respective rights in Joint Inventions; and (iii) inventorship and authorship of any Invention or work of authorship conceived or created by either Party or jointly by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement, shall follow the rules of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the Laws of the U.S. (without reference to any conflict of law principles). For clarification, any interest of AMGEN in or with respect to Joint Inventions shall constitute Licensed Patents or Licensed Know-How, as the case may be, licensed to XXXXX pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

-27-

4.1.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, all right, title, and interest in and to Inventions exclusively related to Program Compounds (and any associated Patent Rights) shall be owned exclusively by XXXXX regardless of inventorship. Amgen hereby assigns to XXXXX all of its entire right and title in any Program Compounds and inventions related thereto.

Section 4.2 Prosecution and Maintenance.

4.2.1 XXXXX shall have the first right to file, prosecute and maintain all Patent Rights specified under Licensed Patents and Program Patents at XXXXX’x sole expense using outside counsel selected by XXXXX and reasonably acceptable to AMGEN. XXXXX will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prepare, file, prosecute, defend and maintain all Patent Rights specified under Licensed Patents and Program Patents. AMGEN shall reasonably cooperate with XXXXX’x requests for data, affidavits, and other information and assistance to support prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights in the Licensed Patents; provided, however, that XXXXX shall reimburse AMGEN for its reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses with respect to such cooperation. XXXXX shall promptly upon receipt forward to AMGEN copies of any significant office actions, communications, and correspondence relating to the Licensed Patents and Program Patents. AMGEN shall have the right to comment on and to discuss prosecution and maintenance activities with XXXXX, and XXXXX shall consider the same in good faith. For purpose of clarity, XXXXX may at its discretion file new patent applications for Program Patents and may include in such applications data or discoveries included within the Licensed Know-How; provided, however, XXXXX, its Affiliates and Sublicensees may not file patent applications claiming any AMGEN Cell Line or any Licensed Manufacturing Know-How.

4.2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if XXXXX declines to file, prosecute or maintain any Patent Rights, elects to allow any Patent Rights to lapse in any country, or elects to abandon any Patent Rights (in each case to the extent contained in the Licensed Patents or Program Patents) before all appeals within the respective patent office have been exhausted (each, an “Abandoned Patent Right”), then:

(a) XXXXX shall provide AMGEN with reasonable notice of such decision so as to permit AMGEN to decide whether to file, prosecute or maintain such Abandoned Patent Rights and to take any necessary action (which notice shall, in any event, be given no later than [***] ([***]) days prior to the next deadline for any action that may be taken with respect to such Abandoned Patent Right with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office or any foreign patent office).

(b) AMGEN, at AMGEN’s expense, may assume control of the filing, prosecution and/or maintenance of such Abandoned Patent Rights.

(c) AMGEN shall have the right to transfer the responsibility for such filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Abandoned Patent Rights to patent counsel (outside or internal) selected by AMGEN.

(d) XXXXX shall assist and cooperate with AMGEN’s reasonable requests to support prosecution and maintenance of such Abandoned Patent Rights; provided, however, that AMGEN shall reimburse XXXXX for its reasonable expenses with respect to such cooperation (including XXXXX’x employee’s time at the FTE Rate).

-28-

(e) In the event a patent issues with respect to any such Abandoned Patent Rights, AMGEN shall provide reasonable notice to XXXXX thereof and such Abandoned Patent Right shall be excluded from the license granted by AMGEN to XXXXX under Section 2.1 (Grant), unless XXXXX (i) reimburses AMGEN for its reasonable, documented, internal and external costs and expenses related to the prosecution and maintenance of such Abandoned Patent Right within [***] ([***]) days of notice of issuance of any such patent and (ii) assumes, in writing, the responsibility for the continued prosecution and maintenance of such Patent Rights in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 (Prosecution and Maintenance). For the avoidance of doubt, the Abandoned Patent Rights shall not be excluded from the license granted by AMGEN to XXXXX under Section 2.1 (Grant) unless and until after expiry of the [***] ([***]) day period referred to under (i) above and if XXXXX elects not to exercise its rights under (i) and (ii) above.

Section 4.3 Enforcement.

4.3.1 XXXXX Enforcement. Each Party will notify the other promptly in writing when any Infringement of a Licensed Patent or a Program Patent by a Third Party is uncovered or reasonably suspected. XXXXX shall have the first right to enforce any patent within the Licensed Patents or Program Patents against any Infringement or alleged Infringement thereof, and shall at all times keep AMGEN informed as to the status thereof. XXXXX may, at its own expense, institute suit against any such infringer or alleged infringer and control and defend and settle such suit in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions hereof and recover any damages, awards or settlements resulting therefrom, subject to Section 4.5 (Recovery). AMGEN shall reasonably cooperate in any such litigation (including joining or being named a necessary party thereto) at XXXXX’x expense. XXXXX shall not enter into any settlement of any claim described in this Section 4.3.1 (XXXXX Enforcement) that admits to the invalidity or unenforceability of the Licensed Patents or Program Patents, incurs any financial liability on the part of AMGEN or requires an admission of liability, wrongdoing or fault on the part of AMGEN, without AMGEN’s prior written consent, in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

4.3.2 AMGEN Enforcement. If XXXXX elects not to enforce any patent within the Licensed Patents or Program Patents, then it shall so notify AMGEN in writing within [***] ([***]) months of receiving notice that an Infringement exists (or such shorter period as may be necessary to prevent exhaustion of a statute of limitations (or laches) applicable to such Infringement). XXXXX shall consider in good faith a request by AMGEN to at its own expense, take steps to enforce any such patent and control, settle, and defend such suit in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions hereof. If AMGEN pursues such action, it may recover any damages, awards or settlements resulting therefrom, subject to Section 4.5 (Recovery). XXXXX shall reasonably cooperate in any such litigation (including joining or being named a necessary party thereto) at AMGEN’s expense. AMGEN shall not enter into any settlement of any claim described in this Section 4.3.2 (AMGEN Enforcement) that admits to the invalidity or unenforceability of the Licensed Patents or Program Patents, incurs any financial liability on the part of XXXXX or requires an admission of liability, wrongdoing or fault on the part of XXXXX without XXXXX’x prior written consent.

-29-

4.3.3 Progress Reports. The Party initiating or defending any such enforcement action (the “Enforcing Party”) shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such enforcement action, and such other Party shall have the individual right to participate with counsel of its own choice at its own expense.

Section 4.4 Defense of Third Party Claims. If either (a) any Licensed Product Exploited by or under authority of XXXXX becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of Infringement of a patent relating to the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of such Licensed Product in the Licensed Field in the Territory, or (b) a declaratory judgment action is brought naming either Party as a defendant and alleging invalidity or unenforceability of any of the Licensed Patents or Program Patents, the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties shall promptly confer to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action. Subject to Article 8 (Indemnification), unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, each Party shall have the right to defend itself against a suit that names it as a defendant (the “Defending Party”). Neither Party shall enter into any settlement of any claim described in this Section 4.4 that admits to the invalidity or unenforceability of the Licensed Patents or, Program Patents, incurs any financial liability on the part of the other Party, requires an admission of liability, wrongdoing or fault on the part of the other Party or, without such other Party’s prior written consent, in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In any event, the other Party shall reasonably assist the Defending Party and cooperate in any such litigation at the Defending Party’s request and expense.

Section 4.5 Recovery. Except as otherwise provided, the costs and expenses of the Party bringing suit under Section 4.3 (Enforcement) shall be borne by such Party, and any damages, settlements or other monetary awards recovered shall be shared as follows: (a) the amount of such recovery actually received by the Party controlling such action shall first be applied to the out-of-pocket costs of each Party in connection with such action; and then (b) the remainder of the recovery shall be shared as follows:

(i) If XXXXX is the Enforcing Party, [***]; and

(ii) If AMGEN is the Enforcing Party, [***].

Section 4.6 Patent Term Extensions and Filings for Regulatory Exclusivity Periods. XXXXX will advise AMGEN when it is considering any patent term extension or supplementary protection certificates or their equivalent for the Licensed Patents. AMGEN will cooperate with XXXXX in the preparation and filing of any patent term extension application with respect to the Licensed Patents. With respect to any patent listings required for any Regulatory Exclusivity for a Licensed Product, [***].

Section 4.7 Patent Marking. XXXXX will xxxx, and will cause all other Selling Parties to xxxx, the Licensed Product with all Licensed Patents in accordance with applicable Law, which marking obligation will continue for as long as (and only for as long as) required under applicable Law.

ARTICLE 5. OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

Section 5.1 Responsibility. Following the Effective Date and at all times during the Term (except as expressly stated otherwise herein), XXXXX shall be solely responsible for, and shall bear all costs associated with, the research, development and commercialization of the Products in the Territory, including regulatory, manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sales activities. Subject to the express written terms of this Agreement, all decisions concerning the development, marketing and sales of Products in the Territory including the clinical and regulatory strategy, design, sale, price and promotion of Products covered under this Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of XXXXX.

Section 5.2 Diligence. XXXXX shall (directly and/or through one or more Affiliates and/or Sublicensees) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop, manufacture, gain Marketing Authorization and commercialize at least one (1) MAB Product and at least one (1) Small Molecule Product in each of the [***]. Within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date, XXXXX will prepare and provide to AMGEN a development plan for the MAB Product and [***] (which development plans shall describe generally the activities for conducting development with respect to such Products under this Agreement, including by specifying activities to be conducted and anticipated development activities for the Products). For the purpose of clarity, XXXXX may from time to time amend each development plan in its sole discretion. XXXXX shall notify AMGEN immediately upon obtaining Marketing Approval for the Product in each country.

Section 5.3 Reports. Within [***] of the beginning of each Calendar Year, XXXXX shall submit to AMGEN a report providing the status of XXXXX’x and its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ activities related to the research and development of and Marketing Approval for the MAB Products and the Small Molecule Products during the [***], and plans for future activities related to the research and development of and Marketing Approval for the MAB Products and the Small Molecule Products during [***], in each case in relation to the last updated development plan, as may be applicable, including any updates to the related clinical plans.

Section 5.4 Distracting Programs.

5.4.1 Distracting Programs. Except as set forth in Section 5.4.3 (Post-Effective Date Affiliates) and 5.4.4 (Termination or Divestiture) and subject to Section 5.4.2 (XXXXX Election), during the Term until the [***] anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of the first Licensed Product in the [***], XXXXX shall not (and shall ensure its Affiliates and Sublicensees do not) directly or indirectly conduct, enable, or participate in any Distracting Program. For clarity, any failure of any XXXXX Affiliate or Sublicensee to comply with this Section 5.4.1 shall be deemed a breach by XXXXX.

5.4.2 XXXXX Election.

(a) Distracting Program. In the event that XXXXX or its Affiliates gains rights to a Distracting Program, then XXXXX shall provide prompt written notice (in all events within fifteen days of gaining such rights) to AMGEN and include in such notice whether XXXXX elects to treat all such related Distracting Product(s) as “Product(s)” under this Agreement.

-31-

(b) De Novo Compounds. In the event that XXXXX or its Affiliates gains rights to a De Novo Compound or De Novo Product, then XXXXX shall provide prompt written notice (promptly following the filing of any patent application with respect to a De Novo Compound or De Novo Product and in all cases before any Licensed Patent or Licensed Know How is used or practiced in connection with such De Novo Compound or De Novo Product) to AMGEN and include in such notice whether XXXXX elects to treat any such De Novo Compound and related De Novo Product as a “Product” under this Agreement.

(c) Newly Added Products. If XXXXX makes such election in such notice, then any such Distracting Product (including, for clarity, a De Novo Compound) will thereafter be considered a “Product” for purposes of this Agreement (a “Newly Added Product”) and would cease to be considered a “Distracting Product” giving rise to a “Distracting Program” that is prohibited under Section 5.4.1. XXXXX’x exploitation of the Newly Added Product would be subject to all diligence and reporting obligations under this Agreement as well as Milestone Payment and royalty obligations contemplated under this Agreement in each case from and after the time such Product becomes a Newly Added Product (for clarification, there shall be no obligation to make any back-payment of Milestone Payments that would have been triggered by such Newly Added Product had such Newly Added Product been considered a “Product” at the time such Milestone occurred). Any Patent Rights controlled by XXXXX or its Affiliates (including, for clarity, any in-licensed Patent Rights) Covering such Newly Added Product would be considered “Program Patents” for purposes of determining the Royalty Term, royalties, royalty reductions (for clarification, the [***] reduction under Section 3.3.2(a) would be inapplicable) and milestone payment obligations applicable to such Newly Added Product.

5.4.3 Post-Effective Date Affiliates. In the event that XXXXX or its Affiliates enters into a Distracting Transaction with a Third Party (and for clarity, XXXXX has not elected to treat such Distracting Product as a Newly Added Product pursuant to Section 5.4.2), then XXXXX shall provide prompt written notice to AMGEN.

(a) In the time period prior to the initiation of clinical development for any MAB Product (with respect to the MAB Program) or Small Molecule Product (with respect to the Small Molecule Program), upon thirty (30) day’s prior written notice to AMGEN

-46-

(b) In the time period after the initiation of clinical development for any MAB Product (with respect to the MAB Program) or Small Molecule Product (with respect to the Small Molecule Program), upon one hundred twenty (120) day’s prior written notice to AMGEN

if, in each case, XXXXX concludes due to scientific, technical, regulatory or commercial reasons, including (i) safety or efficacy concerns, including adverse events of such Product, (ii) concerns relating to the present or future marketability or profitability of such Product, (iii) reasons related to patent coverage or (iv) existing and anticipated competition, renders the Exploitation of the MAB Product or Small Molecule Product no longer commercially practicable for XXXXX. Following any such notice of termination, XXXXX shall have no further obligation pursuant to Section 5.2 (Diligence) to further Exploit any MAB Product (with respect to the termination of the MAB Program) or any Small Molecule Product (with respect to the termination of the Small Molecule Program) (each such affected Licensed Product, a “Terminated Product” and the terminated MAB Program and/or Small Molecule Program, a “Terminated Program”), however, XXXXX shall use its reasonable efforts to facilitate a smooth, orderly and prompt transition of all Terminated Products Controlled by XXXXX prior to the effective date of termination of this Agreement from XXXXX to AMGEN.

Section 9.4 Termination Upon Bankruptcy. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if, at any time, the other Party shall (a) file in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state, country or jurisdiction, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of that Party or of its assets, (b) propose a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, (c) be served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition has not been dismissed within [***] days after the filing thereof, (d) propose or be a party to any dissolution or liquidation, (e) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (f) admit in writing its inability generally to meet its obligations as they fall due in the general course.

(a) XXXXX will responsibly wind-down, in accordance with accepted pharmaceutical industry norms and ethical practices and all legal and regulatory requirements, any on-going clinical studies involving a Terminated Product for which it has responsibility hereunder in which patient dosing has commenced or, if reasonably practicable and not adverse to patient safety and requested by AMGEN, XXXXX shall complete such trials and AMGEN shall reimburse XXXXX its reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and internal labor costs at the FTE Rate associated therewith. For the purpose of clarity, except as provided for above, XXXXX may wind-down any ongoing clinical trials prior to the date of termination in accordance with accepted pharmaceutical industry norms and ethical practices and XXXXX will be responsible for any costs associated with such wind-down.

-47-

(b) A termination of this Agreement will automatically terminate any sublicense of Licensed Know-How and Licensed Patents relating to the Terminated Program(s) (including all Products in such Terminated Program(s)) granted by XXXXX pursuant to Section 2.2 (Sublicenses) unless AMGEN has approved such sublicense in writing, in which case all rights under such sublicense shall be deemed to survive termination as long as Sublicensee complies with its obligations thereunder, and provided that in no event will AMGEN be obligated to fulfill any of XXXXX’x obligations under such sublicense.

(c) All rights and licenses granted by AMGEN to XXXXX in Article 2 (License Grant) and all restrictions on AMGEN under Section 2.3 (Retained Rights and Limitations) will terminate, and XXXXX and its Affiliates, and (subject to Section 9.5(b)) Sublicensees will cease all use of Licensed Know-How relating to the Terminated Program(s) and Licensed Patents relating to the Terminated Program(s) and all Exploitation of any Terminated Product, except to the extent required hereunder. For clarity, after termination, while XXXXX will retain rights in any Newly Added Product(s) (the “Retained Products”), the licenses granted by AMGEN to XXXXX in Article 2 (License Grant) will terminate with respect to such Retained Products relating to the Terminated Program(s) and XXXXX and its Affiliates, and (subject to Section 9.5(b)) Sublicensees will cease all use of Licensed Know-How relating to such Retained Products.

(d) Upon AMGEN’s request, all Marketing Approvals and other regulatory filings and communications owned (in whole or in part) or otherwise controlled by XXXXX and its Affiliates, and (subject to Section 9.5(b)) Sublicensees, and all other documents relating to or necessary to further Exploit any Terminated Product, as such items exist as of the effective date of such termination (including all documents related to completed and ongoing clinical studies) will be assigned to AMGEN to the extent practicable (or, if not so assigned, XXXXX shall make the benefit of the foregoing reasonably available to AMGEN), and XXXXX will provide to AMGEN one (1) copy of the foregoing and all documents contained in or referenced in any such items, together with the raw and summarized data for any clinical studies (and where reasonably available, electronic copies thereof). All expenses in relation to such assignment will be borne by AMGEN. In the event of any failure to obtain assignment, XXXXX hereby consents and grants to AMGEN the right to access and reference (without any further action required on the part of XXXXX, whose authorization to file this consent with any Regulatory Authority is hereby granted) any such item.

(e) Upon AMGEN’s election, XXXXX shall and hereby does grant to AMGEN and its Affiliates effective upon such AMGEN election at the time of termination (i) an automatic, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, solely for use in Exploiting such Terminated Product, under Know-How and Patent Rights that are Controlled by XXXXX or any of its Affiliates and Sublicensees prior to termination and that Cover such Terminated Product and which are necessary for Exploiting such Terminated Product and any improvement of any of the foregoing, and (ii) an automatic,

-48-

worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, solely for use in Exploiting such Terminated Product, under Know-How and Patent Rights that are Controlled by XXXXX or any of its Affiliates and (subject to Section 9.5(b)) Sublicensees that are not solely related to such Terminated Product but that are necessary for Exploiting such Terminated Product and any improvement to any of the foregoing. For the purpose of clarity, upon AMGEN’s election at the time of termination, (1) such license shall be effective only as of and after the effective date of such termination and (2) Amgen will be obligated to pay royalties during the Royalty Term(s) as provided for in Section 3.3 (Royalties); provided, all deductions and reductions contemplated in Section 3.3 will apply to such payments and the definition of Net Sales and Sections 3.4 (Method of Payment) -3.9 (Taxes) (inclusive) will apply mutatis- mutandis to Amgen in connection with the payment of such royalties and provided further that the royalty rates shall be [***] the rates set forth in Section 3.3 with respect to any Terminated Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any of the foregoing Know-How or Patent Rights are not Controlled by XXXXX (or any of its Affiliates and Sublicensees) due to the fact that such party would be obligated to make any payments to a Third Party in connection with the grant of the foregoing licenses, then AMGEN shall have the right to assume such payment obligations and should it elect to do so, such Know-How and Patent Rights shall be included in such license grant.

(f) Upon AMGEN’s request, XXXXX will assign (or, if applicable, will cause its Affiliates or (subject to Section 9.5(b)) Sublicensees to assign) to AMGEN all of XXXXX’x (and such Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’) right, title and interest in and to any (1) registered or unregistered trademarks or internet domain names that are specific to the Terminated Product(s), provided that such assignment is in accordance with XXXXX’x policy on trademarks (it being understood that the foregoing will not include any trademarks or internet domain names that contain the corporate or business name(s) of XXXXX) and (2) Program Patents that claim any Licensed Know-How.

(g) XXXXX agrees (and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees as a condition of the grant of the applicable Sublicense to so agree) to fully cooperate with AMGEN and its designee(s) to facilitate a smooth, orderly and prompt transition of the Exploitation of the Terminated Products in the Territory to AMGEN and/or its designee(s). Upon request by AMGEN, XXXXX shall transfer to AMGEN some or all quantities of the Terminated Product(s) in its possession. If XXXXX is, at the time of such termination of this Agreement, party to any Third Party contracts with respect to such Terminated Product(s), then it shall provide AMGEN notice of and (to the extent permitted to do so), copies thereof. XXXXX shall assign to AMGEN any such contracts requested by AMGEN, to the extent relating to such Terminated Product(s) and to the extent it has the right under such contract(s) to do so (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents, which efforts shall not require making any payments or incurring any liabilities unless AMGEN agrees to reimburse XXXXX therefor (and XXXXX shall inform AMGEN of any such required payment or liability)). In addition, XXXXX shall, at AMGEN’s

-49-

cost and expense, (i) provide any cooperation reasonably requested by AMGEN to ensure uninterrupted supply of such Terminated Product(s) (including XXXXX’x employees’ time at the FTE Rate), and (ii) if XXXXX manufactured such Terminated Product(s) at the time of termination, continue to provide for manufacturing of such Terminated Product for AMGEN, at [***] of the fully-burdened manufacturing cost therefor, from the date of notice of such termination until the sooner to occur of such time as AMGEN is able, using commercially reasonable efforts to do so, to secure an acceptable alternative commercial manufacturing source from which sufficient quantities of such Terminated Product(s) may be procured and legally sold in the Territory or [***] months from the effective date of termination of this Agreement.

(h) XXXXX shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such instruments and shall do and cause to be done such activities and things, including the filings of such assignments, agreements, documents and instruments, as may be necessary under, or as AMGEN may reasonably request in connection with, AMGEN’s rights under this Section 9.5 (Effects of Termination).

(i) Notwithstanding a partial termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2.1 or 9.3.2 or a complete termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2, Section 9.3.1 or Section 9.4, XXXXX’x obligations to pay royalties and milestone payments under Section 3.3.2 and Section 3.3 shall continue with respect to any Retained Product , in each case on a Retained-Product-by-Retained-Product and country-by-country basis until the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to such Retained Product.

(j) XXXXX shall remain financially responsible for (and shall pay to AMGEN) (1) the Reservation Fee and Reservation Agreement Process Consumables Fees and (2) all amounts due under the Order and the Reservation Agreement, as contemplated in Section 2.5.3(a).

(k) XXXXX shall return to AMGEN (or cause to be returned to Amgen) all Licensed Materials

(l) In the event of a termination under Section 9.3.2 (Discretionary Termination) or Section 9.3.1, in either case with respect to a Terminated Program only (and not with respect to this Agreement in its entirety), XXXXX’x obligations under Section 5.2 with respect to Products in the Terminated Program shall cease and Amgen’s restrictions under Section 5.5 (Amgen Restrictions) shall cease with respect to (1) small molecules (if the Terminated Program is the Small Molecule Program) or (2) antibodies (if the Terminated Program is the MAB Program).

Section 9.6 Survival. In addition to the termination consequences set forth in Section 9.5 (Effects of Termination), the following provisions will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: Articles 1 (Definitions), 7 (Indemnification), 8 (Confidentiality), and 10 (Miscellaneous) and Sections 2.5.3 (AMGEN Cell Line and Licensed Manufacturing Know-How) (with respect to XXXXX’x payment obligations in respect of the Order or as otherwise accrued

Termination or expiration of this Agreement are neither Party’s exclusive remedy and will not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration nor preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation. All other rights and obligations will terminate upon expiration of this Agreement.

Each Party acknowledges that a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement may not reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages in an action at law and that such a breach may cause the other Party irreparable injury and damage. By reason thereof, each Party agrees that the other Party is entitled to seek, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement by the other Party and is otherwise entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof; provided, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy will be construed as a waiver or prohibition against the pursuing of other legal or equitable remedies in the event of such a breach.

Section 10.15 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement to the extent, and for so long as, such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, including fire, floods, embargoes, power shortage or failure, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, terrorism, civil commotions, strikes, a pandemic (including COVID19 related interruptions), lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God, or any acts, omissions, or delays in acting by any governmental authority or the other Party; provided, however, that the affected Party promptly notifies the other Party in writing (and continues to provide monthly status updates to the other Party for the duration of the effect); and provided further, however, that the affected Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and to mitigate the effect of such occurrence, and shall continue performance with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed. The Parties acknowledge and agree that as of the Execution Date, the activities of both Parties may be interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and, as a result, each Party’s performance of some or all of the activities relating to the transfer of Licensed Material and Licensed Know-How may be delayed. Further, as COVID-19 pandemic circumstances evolve, there may be additional delays or other circumstances for either Party that were not initially foreseeable. In light of the foregoing, the Parties agree to discuss in good faith an extension to timelines contemplated in this Agreement, as may be applicable.

Section 10.16 Further Assurances. Each Party shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver such further instructions, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

Section 10.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts by a single Party, each of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and may be executed through the use of facsimiles or .pdf or other electronically transmitted documents.
