Auditing Party more than once in any Calendar Year. All records made available
for inspection or audit shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of the
Audited Party. The results of each inspection or audit, if any, shall be binding
on both Parties. In the event there was an error in the amount of Shared
Clinical Trial Costs reported
by the Audited
Party hereunder, (a) if the amount of Shared
Clinical Trial Costs was over-reported,
the
Audited Party shall promptly (but in any event no later than thirty (30) days
after the Audited Party's receipt of the independent accountant's report so
concluding) make payment to the Auditing Party of a percentage of the
over-reported amount taking into account the equal sharing of Co-Development
Costs and (b) if the amount of Shared
Clinical Trial Costs was underreported,
the
Auditing Party shall promptly (but in any event no later than thirty (30) days
after the Auditing Party's receipt of the independent accountant's report so
concluding) make payment to the Audited Party of a percentage of the
underreported amount taking into account the equal sharing of Co-Development
Costs. The Auditing Party shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such
audit discloses an over reporting by the Audited Party of more than [***]
([***]) of the aggregate amount of Shared
Clinical Trial Costs reportable
in any
Calendar Year, in which case the Audited Party shall reimburse the Auditing
Party for all costs incurred by the Auditing Party in connection with such
inspection or audit.
(d) Data
Audit.
Promptly
following the submission of each Regulatory Filing, and any amendments or
supplements thereto, the Party making such submission shall provide a full
and
complete copy of such filing to the other Party for purposes of determining
whether the submitting Party has made Material Use of the other Party’s Shared
Clinical Trial Data without having paid in full its applicable Shared Clinical
Trial Cost Sharing
Percentage associated with such Shared Clinical Trial Data. In the event that
a
Party made Material Use of the other Party’s Shared Clinical Trial Data in such
submission and therefore was
able
to
[***] [***] [***] [***] [***] [***] [***] in the respective territory, the
submitting Party shall pay the shortfall of its applicable Shared Clinical
Trial
Cost Sharing
Percentage or the amount needed to match its applicable Shared Clinical Trial
Cost Sharing Percentage, as the case may be, to the other Party upon written
request and as invoiced by the other Party.
(e) Survival.
In the event that a
Party enters into an agreement with a Third Party with respect to the conduct
by
such Third Party of Shared Clinical Trials, such Party shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to include in such contracts provisions for cost sharing
of
Shared Clinical Trial Data consistent with those set forth in this Section
5.1.4.

Secretary
of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
keep
complete and accurate records of associated Pivotal MAY Compound Process
Development Costs in sufficient detail to allow the accuracy of the payments
hereunder to be confirmed. Biotest shall
have the right to
appoint at its expense an independent certified public accountant reasonably
acceptable to ImmunoGen to inspect or audit the relevant records of ImmunoGen

ImmunoGen and its Affiliates shall each make its records available for
inspection or audit by such independent certified public accountant during
regular business hours at such place or places where such records are
customarily kept, upon reasonable notice from Biotest, solely to verify that
Pivotal
MAY Compound Process Development Costs hereunder

In the event there was an error in the amount of Pivotal
MAY Compound Process Development Costs reported
by ImmunoGen
hereunder, (a) if the amount of Pivotal
MAY Compound Process Development Costs was over-reported,
ImmunoGen shall promptly (but in any event no later than [***] ([***]) days
after the ImmunoGen's receipt of the independent accountant's report so
concluding) make payment to Biotest of the amount owed to Biotest, and (b)
if
the amount of Pivotal
MAY Compound Process Development Costs was underreported,
Biotest shall promptly (but in any event no later than [***] ([***]) days after
Biotest's receipt of the independent accountant's report so concluding) make

full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an over reporting by
ImmunoGen of more than [***] [***] ([***]) of the aggregate amount of
Pivotal
MAY Compound Process Development Costs reportable
in any
Calendar Year, in which case ImmunoGen shall reimburse Biotest for all costs
incurred by Biotest in connection with such inspection or audit.
5.2 Reconciliation
and Auditing of Co-Development Costs.
5.2.1 Reconciliation.
Within
[***] ([***]) days following the end of each Calendar Quarter following the
exercise of the Co-Development Option applicable to a given Co-Developed
Product, each of ImmunoGen and Biotest shall submit to the JFC a written report
setting forth in reasonable detail all Co-Development Costs incurred by each
such Party over such Calendar Quarter. Within [***] ([***]) days following
the
JFC’s receipt of such written reports, the JFC shall prepare and submit to each
Party a written report setting forth in reasonable detail (a) the calculation
of
all Co-Development Costs incurred by both Parties over such Calendar Quarter
and
(b) the calculation of the net amount owed by ImmunoGen to Biotest or by Biotest
to ImmunoGen in order to ensure the equal sharing
of
the Co-Development Costs. The net amount payable shall be paid by ImmunoGen
or
Biotest to the other, as applicable, within [***] ([***]) days after the
distribution by the JFC of such written report. If the JFC determines that
one
Party has overrun the budget for a particular item, the amount by which the
actual expense exceeded the budgeted amount shall be borne in its entirety
by
the Party incurring the overrun.
5.2.2 Records;
Audit Rights.
Each Party shall keep
and maintain for [***] ([***]) years complete and accurate records of
Co-Development Costs incurred with respect to Licensed Products in sufficient
detail to allow confirmation of same by the JFC. Each Party
44
Portions
of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the
Secretary
of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
shall have
the
right for a period of [***] ([***]) years after such Development Cost is
reconciled in accordance with Section 5.2.1 to appoint at its expense an
independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the other
Party
to inspect or audit the relevant records of the other Party and its Affiliates
to verify that the amount of such Co-Development Costs was correctly determined.
The Audited Party and its Affiliates shall each make its records available
for
inspection or audit by such independent certified public accountant during
regular business hours at such place or places where such records are
customarily kept, upon reasonable notice from the Auditing Party, solely to
verify that Co-Development Costs hereunder were correctly determined. Such
inspection or audit right shall not be exercised by the Auditing Party more
than
once in any Calendar Year. All records made available for inspection or audit
shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of the Audited Party. The results
of each inspection or audit, if any, shall be binding on both Parties. In the
event there was an error in the amount of Co-Development Costs reported by
the
Audited Party hereunder, (a) if the amount of Co-Development Costs was
over-reported, the Audited Party shall promptly (but in any event no later
than
[***] ([***]) days after the Audited Party's receipt of the independent
accountant's report so concluding) make payment to the Auditing Party of a
percentage of the over-reported amount consistent with the equal sharing of
Development Costs and (b) if the amount of Co-Development Costs was
underreported, the Auditing Party shall promptly (but in any event no later
than
[***] ([***]) days after the Auditing Party's receipt of the independent
accountant's report so concluding) make payment to the Audited Party of a
percentage of the underreported amount consistent with the equal sharing of
Development Costs. The Auditing Party shall bear the full cost of such audit
unless such audit discloses an over reporting by the Audited Party of more
than
[***] [***] ([***]) of the aggregate amount of Co-Development Costs reportable
in any Calendar Year, in which case the Audited Party shall reimburse the
Auditing Party for all costs incurred by the Auditing Party in connection with
such inspection or audit.
5.3 Compliance.
Biotest and/or ImmunoGen,
as applicable, shall each perform their respective obligations under each
Co-Development Plan and Co-Development Manufacturing Plan in good scientific
and
business manner and in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable
Laws; provided, that, for purposes of clarity, with respect to each activity
performed under the Co-Development Plan, that will or would reasonably be
expected to be submitted to a Regulatory Authority in support of a Regulatory
Filing or Drug Approval Application, Biotest and/or ImmunoGen, as applicable,
shall each comply in all material respects, in the Co-Development Territory,
with the regulations and guidance of the relevant authorities in the
Co-Development Territory.
5.4 Commercialization
Diligence.
Biotest
and/or ImmunoGen, as applicable, shall each use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts during the Term to Develop and to Commercialize
Co-Developed Products in the Co-Development Territory. If a Party at any time
reasonably believes that the other Party is not meeting its diligence
obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4, such Party may give, in the form
of
detailed reasons, written notice to the other Party requesting written
justification, in the form of detailed reasons, that would support the
proposition that such other Party is meeting such diligence obligations. In
such
event, such other Party shall provide such written justification within [***]
([***]) days after such notice is given. In the event that the other Party
does
not reasonably justify that it is meeting its diligence obligations pursuant
to
this Section 5.4 within such [***] ([***]) day period, then the Party giving
notice shall have the right,
in
its sole discretion, to exercise such rights or remedies that it may have under
this Agreement, at law or in equity.
5.5 Co-Promotion
Rights.
5.5.1 Option
to Jointly
Sublicense.
(a) Early
Stage
Co-Development Option.
(i) Initial
Sublicense
Decision Date.
If ImmunoGen exercises
an Early Stage Co-Development Option with respect to a Co-Developed Product,
then within [***] ([***]) days following the First Interim Analysis of the
first
[***] [***] [***] [***] with respect to such Co-Developed Product, the Parties
shall discuss in good faith and decide whether to jointly sublicense the
right
to Develop and Commercialize such Co-Developed Product in the Co-Development
Territory to a single Third Party, in which case the Parties shall [***]
in the
consideration received from such Third Party with respect to the grant of
such
sublicense for the Co-Development Territory.
45
Portions
of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the
Secretary
of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
(ii) Second
Sublicense
Decision Date. In
the event that
ImmunoGen exercises the Early Stage Co-Development Option with respect to a
Co-Developed Product and the Parties (A) have, pursuant to Section 5.5.1 (a)
(i), decided to sublicense the right to Develop and Commercialize such
Co-Developed Product to a single Third Party, but the Parties have not entered
into an agreement with a Third Party to Develop and Commercialize such
Co-Developed Product in accordance with Section 5.5.1(a)(i) and (B) have not
obtained accelerated approval from the FDA in accordance with Subpart E of
21
C.F.R. 312 with respect to such Co-Developed Product, then within [***] ([***])
days following the First Interim Analysis of the first [***] [***] [***] [***]
with respect to such Co-Developed Product, the Parties shall discuss in good
faith and decide whether to jointly sublicense the right to Develop and
Commercialize such Co-Developed Product in the Co-Development Territory to
a
single Third Party, in which case the Parties shall [***] in the consideration
received from such Third Party with respect to the grant of such sublicense
for
the Co-Development Territory.
(b) Late
Stage
Co-Development Option. In
the event that
ImmunoGen exercises a Late Stage Co-Development Option with respect to a
Co-Developed Product, but the Parties have not obtained accelerated approval
from the FDA in accordance with Subpart E of 21 C.F.R. 312 with respect to
such
Co-Developed Product, then within [***] ([***]) days following the First Interim
Analysis of the [***] [***] [***] [***] [***] with respect to such Co-Developed
Product, the Parties shall discuss in good faith and decide whether to jointly
sublicense the right to Develop and Commercialize such Co-Developed Product
in
the Co-Development Territory to a single Third Party, in which case the Parties
shall [***] in the consideration received from such Third Party with respect
to
the grant of such sublicense for the Co-Development Territory.
5.5.2 Failure
to Reach
Agreement. If
the Parties are unable to
affirmatively
decide to
jointly sublicense the right to Develop and Commercialize a Co-Developed
Product to
a single Third Party pursuant to Section 5.5.1(a) or (b), the Parties
shall (a)
prepare and execute a mutually acceptable Co-Promotion Agreement between the
Parties (the “Co-Promotion Agreement”) in good faith
and with sufficient diligence as is required to execute and deliver the
Co-Promotion Agreement within [***] [***] [***] ([***]) days from the
expiration of the
applicable [***]-day period and (b)
jointly Co-Promote
the Co-Developed Product. The Co-Promotion Agreement shall contain such
provisions as are usual and customary for inclusion in a co-promotion agreement
between companies in the pharmaceutical industry of comparable sizes to the
respective Parties and shall
contain suitable provisions regulating activities equivalent to Section 4.6
that
relate to Co-Developed Products in the Co-Development Territory. In the
event the Parties
fail to execute and deliver the Co-Promotion Agreement within the [***] [***]
[***] ([***]) day period described in this Section 5.5.2,
the Parties shall (A) use
reasonable efforts to complete such negotiations and to execute and deliver
the
Co-Promotion Agreement as soon as possible after such [***] [***] [***] ([***])
day period and (B) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after
the
expiration of such [***] [***] [***] ([***]) day period, each produce a list
of
issues on which they have failed to reach agreement and submit its list to
the
JSC to be resolved in accordance with Section 2.1.6.

Secretary
of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential

5.5.3 Development
Cost-Sharing. For
the avoidance of
doubt, if the
Parties decide to jointly sublicense to a single Third Party the right
to Develop and
Commercialize a Co-Developed
Product as
described in Section 5.5.1(a) or (b), the Parties’ respective obligations to
share in the Co-Development Costs applicable to that Co-Developed Product in
accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall continue until the effective date
of
the sublicense agreement.
5.5.4 Option
to Unilaterally Sublicense
after
Commercialization.
If at any
time during the period commencing on the [***] [***] of the [***] [***] [***]
[***] [***] [***] [***] and continuing for a period of [***] ([***]) days,
either Party determines that it wishes to engage any Third Party to assume
its
Co-Promotion rights and fulfill its Co-Promotion obligations with respect to
a
Co-Developed Product, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section
5.5.2
and
subject to Section 8.3.1 and 8.3.2, either Party shall have the right to engage
any Third Party to fulfill its Co-Promotion obligations with respect to a
Co-Developed Product in accordance with this Section 5.5.4,
and such
Party shall provide written notice of same to the other Party (the “ROFN
Notice”, whereby ROFN means Right Of First Negotiation). The Party receiving the
ROFN Notice shall have [***] ([***]) days from the date of the ROFN Notice
to
provide a written response (the “ROFN Response”) as to whether or not it wishes
to enter into negotiations with the other Party with respect to such
Co-Promotion activities. If the ROFN Response is not received within the [***]
([***]) day response period, the Party providing the ROFN Notice shall
thereafter have the right to engage any Third Party to fulfill its Co-Promotion
obligations with respect to a Co-Developed Product. If the ROFN Response is
received within the [***] ([***]) day response period and states that the other
Party wishes to enter into negotiations with the Party providing the ROFN
Notice, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of up to [***]
[***] [***] ([***]) days from the date of the ROFN Response with respect to
the
terms and conditions of such rights; provided, that the Parties acknowledge
and
agree that such negotiations shall not be exclusive and the Party providing
the
ROFN Notice shall also have the right during such period to conduct discussions
with one or more Third Parties regarding the grant of such rights. If after
the
Parties are unable to agree upon terms and conditions of such rights on or
before the expiration of such [***] [***] [***] ([***]) day period, then the
Party providing the ROFN Notice shall thereafter have the right to engage any
Third Party to fulfill its Co-Promotion obligations with respect to a
Co-Developed Product. For purposes of clarity, the rights of the Parties with
respect to a Co-Developed Product under
this
Section 5.5
shall not
affect Biotest’s rights to grant sublicenses to any Licensed Product in
accordance with Section 8.3. If either Party grants a sublicense according
to
this Section
5.5.4,
such
Party shall be deemed to have guaranteed that such Sublicensee will fulfill
all
of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement and the Co-Promotion Agreement
applicable to the subject matter of such sublicense; and the respective Party
shall not be relieved of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement
and
the Co-Promotion Agreement as a result of such sublicense.
5.6 Co-Development
Marketing and Sales Plan.
The
JMC
shall prepare a Co-Development Marketing and Sales Plan for each Co-Developed
Product for the Co-Development Territory in accordance with Section 5.1.1(b),
which shall include, but not be limited to, (a) demographics and market
dynamics, market strategies, and estimated launch date of such Co-Developed
Product in the Co-Development Territory, (b) a sales and expense forecast
(including at least five (5) years of estimated sales and expenses) and
manufacturing plans for such Co-Developed Product in the Co-Development
Territory, (c) a marketing plan (including five (5) year Advertising and
Detailing forecasts and pricing strategies) for such Co-Developed Product
in the
Co-Development Territory, and (d) a five (5) year budget for such Co-Developed
Product for the Co-Development Territory. The Co-Development Marketing and
Sales
Plan and annual written updates thereto shall be submitted to the JMC for
review
by a date to be established by the JMC taking into account Biotest's and
ImmunoGen's annual budget planning calendars, but no later than December
31 of
each Calendar Year.

1934.
5.7 Change
in Co-Promotion Percentage.
As
will
be
provided
in the
Co-Development Marketing and Sales Plan,
it is
the expectation of the Parties that both Parties
will
typically
contribute fifty percent (50%) to the yearly marketing and
sales
expenses for a Co-Developed Product and therefore share all profits in
an
equal
split.
If
either
Party wishes to increase its
Co-Promotion activities with respect to a Co-Developed Product (“Additional
Co-Promotion Activities”) by increasing the marketing and sales investments
above the amount the other party is ready to spend, unequal contributions to
the
yearly budget shall be possible, unless otherwise provided in the Co-Promotion
Agreement, according to the following provisions. The
Party
wishing to increase its
Co-Promotion activities shall submit a written proposal to the JMC which shall
describe in reasonable detail the Additional Co-Promotion Activities
and the
justification for Additional Co-Promotion Activities,
an
estimated budget and timeline with respect thereto, and the expected adjustment
to be made to the Co-Development Marketing and Sales Plan and to the Parties’
respective Co-Promotion Percentages to reflect the relative value of Additional
Co-Promotion Activities to be conducted by the submitting Party (as so adjusted,
the “Adjusted Co-Promotion Percentage”). The
JMC
shall have to approve this proposal, and each Party shall ensure that its
representatives in the JMC do not unreasonably withhold such approval. Upon
approval of the proposal and the Adjusted Co-Promotion Percentage by the JMC,
(a) the Co-Development Marketing and Sales Plan shall be amended accordingly;
(b) the submitting Party shall thereafter conduct the Additional Co-Promotion
Activities included in the approved proposal; (c) the Adjusted Co-Promotion
Percentage shall thereafter be the Co-Promotion Percentage of the Parties;
and
(d) the Parties will thereafter continue to share Co-Promotion Costs with
respect to that Co-Developed Product, and receive a percentage of the Net Income
derived from that Co-Developed Product, according to the Adjusted Co-Promotion
Percentage. The Change in Co-Promotion Percentage shall be valid for one
Calendar
Year
and shall
be extended or terminated by the JMC in the course of the generation of the
new
Co-Development Marketing and Sales Plan.
5.8 Labeling.
All
product labels for Co-Developed Products shall include, to the extent allowed
by
Applicable Laws, in equal prominence, the names of both Biotest and ImmunoGen
or
their respective Sublicensees. The JMC shall have the responsibility of meeting
not less frequently than annually and deciding whether changes in the particular
appearance in labeling of packaging and containers of Co-Developed Products
or
in the product information is required. In addition to the annual review,
an
emergency review can be implemented at any time by the JMC.
6. CONSIDERATION

1934.
not
applied for, or been given relief from, any obligation it may have to pay taxes
in Germany
with
respect to the upfront fee by the date the upfront fee is due and Biotest
reasonably determines that a tax is applicable to such upfront fee, Biotest
may,
upon notice to ImmunoGen, deduct the amount of any German tax applicable thereto
and transfer it to the applicable German tax authorities. ImmunoGen may apply
for a refund with the German tax authorities and Biotest shall provide
reasonable assistance to ImmunoGen in
connection therewith.
6.2 R&D
Funding.
During
the
period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing on a Licensed Product
by
Licensed Product basis until the earlier of (a) the exercise by ImmunoGen of
a
Co-Development Option with respect to such Licensed Product and (b) the
expiration of the Research Program term, Biotest shall pay ImmunoGen the
aggregate FTE Cost for all FTEs used by ImmunoGen in the conduct of ImmunoGen
Activities on a quarterly basis, based on the FTE Rate and the Research Plan
and/or Development Plan. Within [***]
([***])
days
following the last day of each Calendar Quarter during the conduct of the
Research Program, ImmunoGen shall issue an invoice reflecting the FTE Costs
for
such Calendar Quarter, as reflected in the then-current Research Plan and
Biotest shall pay each such invoice within [***] ([***]) days from
receipt. The
amount invoiced for
ImmunoGen Activities performed by an FTE shall be calculated based on [***]
[***] [***] using an [***] [***] [***] and [***] of [***] in a [***] [***]

[***] hours in an FTE year. Such
invoice shall have
attached to it a copy
of
the [***] [***] [***] of [***] [***] [***] to the [***] [***] on such particular
invoice. If,
at any time during the Term of this Agreement, ImmunoGen determines
that
the
actual number of FTEs for a particular
Calendar
Quarter agreed to by the
Parties is expected
to
exceed by [***] percent ([***]%) the [***] [***] set forth in such
Research
Plan for
such
Calendar
Quarter,
ImmunoGen shall give Biotest prompt written notice of same and the Parties
shall
discuss in good faith whether to [***] the [***] of such [***] [***] or to
[***]
the [***] to be [***], such that such [***] [***] are [***] [***]. The
JDC
shall be the forum for discussions about an extension
of
ImmunoGen Activities not covered by the budget as laid down in the Research
Plan.
6.2.1 R&D
Funding
Audit Rights. ImmunoGen
shall keep
complete and accurate books and financial records pertaining to its costs
and
expenses of conducting the ImmunoGen Activities, which books and financial
records shall be kept in accordance with GAAP and shall be retained by ImmunoGen
until [***] ([***]) years after the end of the Contract Year to which they
pertain. Biotest shall have the right to appoint at its expense an independent
certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to ImmunoGen to inspect
or
audit, the books and financial records of ImmunoGen relating to its costs
and
expenses of conducting the ImmunoGen Activities during any Contract Year;
provided that Biotest shall not have the right to inspect or audit any Contract
Year more than once or to conduct
more than one
such audit in any twelve-month period. Such audit shall be finalized before
the
end of the third year following the Contract Year to be audited. All books
and
financial records made available for inspection or audit shall be deemed
to be
Confidential Information of ImmunoGen. The Auditing Party shall bear the
full
cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an over reporting by the Audited
Party of more than [***] [***] ([***]) of the aggregate amount of costs and
expenses reportable in any Calendar Year, in which case the Audited Party
shall
reimburse the Auditing Party for all costs incurred by the Auditing Party
in
connection with such inspection or audit.

For
purposes of clarity, no milestone payments shall be payable under this Section
6.3.1 for any milestone events whether occurring within or outside of the
Co-Development Territory for a Co-Developed Product on and after the date of
exercise by ImmunoGen of a Co-Development Option with respect to such
Co-Developed Product. Biotest
shall pay each milestone only once per specific Biotest Product, regardless
of
how many indications, formulations or methods of treatments will be related
to
such Biotest Product. A specific Biotest Product shall be defined by the
combination of Anti-[***] Antibody + MAY Compound + Linker. Exchanging either
of
the three parts shall create a new specific Biotest Product. Combination
Products shall not trigger a milestone payment provided that the Biotest Product
contained therein has already caused a milestone payment.
6.3.2 Milestone
Notices.
Biotest
shall provide ImmunoGen with prompt written notice upon each achievement of
a
milestone event set forth in Section 6.3.1, which notice shall include a
description of the applicable milestone event. In the event that,
notwithstanding the fact that Biotest has not given such a notice, ImmunoGen
believes any such milestone event has occurred, it shall so notify Biotest
in
writing and shall provide to Biotest data, documentation or other information
that supports its belief. Any dispute under this Section 6.3.2 that relates
to
whether or not a milestone event has been achieved shall be referred to the
JSC
to be resolved in accordance with Section 2.1.6.

1934.
(c) Royalty
Offsets.
In the
event that Biotest, in order to practice the license granted to it under Section
8.2.1 of this Agreement in any country in the applicable portion of the
Territory in which royalties are payable as provided in Section 6.4.1, is
required to and actually makes royalty payments to any Third Party (“Third Party
Payments”) in order to obtain a license to an issued patent or patents in the
absence of which the Licensed Technology or Licensed Patent Rights portion
of a
Licensed Product could not legally be developed, manufactured, used, sold or
imported in such country (as evidenced, to the extent reasonably requested
by
ImmunoGen, by an opinion of patent counsel), then the royalties payable to
ImmunoGen for such Licensed Product under this Agreement with respect to such
country may be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) of the amount of such Third
Party Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such reductions shall in no
event
reduce the royalty rate for such Licensed Product applicable under Section
6.4.1
with respect to such country to less than (i) [***] percent ([***]%), with
respect to the royalty rate set forth in Section 6.4.1(a) above; (ii) [***]
percent ([***]%), with respect to the royalty rates set forth in Section
6.4.1(b)(i); and (iii) [***] percent ([***]%), with respect to the royalties
set
forth in Section 6.4.1(b)(ii) above.
(d) Combination
Products.
In
determining Net Sales of any Combination Products under this Agreement in any
country, Net Sales shall first be calculated in accordance with the definition
of “Net Sales” then multiplied by the percentage value of the Royalty-Bearing
Product contained in the Combination Product, such percentage value being the
quotient obtained by dividing the current market price of the Royalty-Bearing
Product by the sum of the separate current market price of the Royalty-Bearing
Product in such country and the other ingredients which are therapeutically
or
biologically active contained in the Combination Product in such country. The
current market price of each therapeutically or biologically active ingredient
and of the Royalty-Bearing Product shall be for a comparable quantity sold
in
such country to that contained in the Combination Product and of the same class,
purity and potency. When no current market price is available for any
therapeutically active ingredient or for the Royalty-Bearing Product in such
country, the Parties shall agree in good faith upon a hypothetical market price
with respect to the Combination Product, allocating the same proportions of
costs, overhead and profit as are then allocated to all similar substances
then
being made and marketed by Biotest and having an ascertainable market price
in
such country; provided, however, that if the Parties are unable to agree upon
such hypothetical market
price, the Parties shall submit the matter promptly to the Parties respective
Designated Senior Officers for resolution.
(e) Payment
Dates and Reports.
Royalty
payments shall be made by Biotest within [***]
([***])
days
after the end of each Calendar Quarter commencing with the Calendar Quarter
in
which the First Commercial Sale of each Royalty-Bearing Product occurs. All
payments shall be made by wire transfer to the credit of such bank account
as
shall be designated in writing from time to time by ImmunoGen minimum [***]
([***]) days before the relevant payment is due. Biotest shall also provide,
at
the same time each such payment is made, a report showing: (i) the Net Sales
of
each Royalty-Bearing Product by country in the Royalty-Bearing Territory; (ii)
the basis for any deductions from gross amounts billed or invoiced to determine
Net Sales; (iii) the applicable royalty rates for such Royalty-Bearing Product;
(iv) the exchange rates used in calculating any of the foregoing; (v) any
reductions in royalties to be paid through payment of Third Party Payments;
and
(vi) a calculation of the amount of royalty due to ImmunoGen.
6.4.2 Net
Income Payments.
In
lieu of
paying any royalty payments with respect to each Co-Developed Product in the
Co-Development Territory, each Party shall receive its Co-Promotion Percentage
of all Annual Net Income derived from sales of that Co-Developed Product in
the
Co-Development Territory as described herein for as long as there are sales
of
such Co-Developed Product in the Co-Development Territory (such payments, the
“Net Income Payments”). Within [***] ([***]) days following the end of each
Calendar Quarter commencing on and after the date of First Commercial Sale
of
each Co-Developed Product, Biotest and ImmunoGen shall submit to the JFC all
Commercialization Expenses incurred by it with respect to such Co-Developed
Product in the Co-Development Territory, as well as the Cost of Goods of the
applicable Co-Developed Product, as well as Net Sales. Within [***] ([***])
days
following the end of the Calendar Quarter, the JFC shall submit to the Parties
a
written report setting forth in reasonable detail (a) the calculation of Annual
Net Income, determined in accordance with Schedule
1
attached
hereto and (b) the calculation of the amount of Annual Net Income payable to
each Party in accordance with its respective Co-Promotion Percentage for that
Co-Developed Product. In the event that the amount of Net Income Payments is
not
equally distributed between the Parties, the Party having received the greater
portion of Net Income Payments shall pay to the other Party that portion of
the
excess amount within [***] ([***]) days following the end of the Calendar
Quarter which generates the correct distribution according to the applicable
Co-Promotion Percentage.
6.4.3 Records;
Audit Rights.
Biotest
and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall keep and maintain for [***] ([***])
years from the date of each payment of royalties hereunder complete and accurate
records of their respective Commercialization Expenses, as well as all gross
sales and Net Sales by Biotest and its Affiliates and Sublicensees of each
Licensed Product, in sufficient detail to allow royalties to be determined
accurately and ImmunoGen and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall keep and
maintain for [***] ([***]) years from the date of each payment of Net Income
Payments complete and accurate records of its Commercialization Expenses, as
well as all gross sales and Net Sales of each Co-Developed Product in sufficient
detail to allow Net Income Payments to be determined accurately. Each Party
shall have the right for a period of [***] ([***]) years after receiving any
such payment to appoint at its expense an independent certified public
accountant reasonably acceptable to the other Party to
52
Portions
of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the
Secretary
of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
inspect
or
audit the relevant records of such Party, its Affiliates and Sublicensees to
verify that the amount of such payment was correctly determined. The Audited
Party, its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall each make its records available
for
inspection or audit by such independent certified public accountant during
regular business hours at such place or places where such records are
customarily kept, upon reasonable notice from the Auditing Party, solely to
verify that Commercialization Expenses, royalty and Net Income payments
hereunder were correctly accounted for or determined. Such inspection or audit
right shall not be exercised by the Auditing Party more than once in any
Calendar Year or more than once with respect to sales of a particular Licensed
Product in a particular period. All records made available for inspection or
audit shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of the Audited Party.
The
results of each inspection or audit, if any, shall be binding on both Parties.
In the event there was an underpayment by the Audited Party hereunder, the
Audited Party shall promptly (but in any event no later than [***] ([***])
days
after the Audited Party’s receipt of the independent accountant’s report so
concluding) make payment to the Auditing Party of any shortfall. In the event
that there was an overpayment by the Audited Party hereunder, the Auditing
Party
shall promptly (but in any event no later than [***] ([***]) days after the
Auditing Party’s receipt of the independent accountant’s report so concluding)
refund to the Audited Party the excess amount. The Auditing Party shall bear
the
full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underreporting by the
Audited Party of more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the aggregate amount of
royalties or Net Income Payments payable, or Commercialization Expenses
allocable, in any Calendar Year, in which case the Audited Party shall reimburse
the Auditing Party for all costs incurred by the Auditing Party in connection
with such inspection or audit.
6.4.4 Overdue
Royalties, Net Income Payments and Milestones.
All
royalty and Net Income Payments not made within the time period set forth in
Section 6.4.1 and 6.4.2, and all milestone payments not made within the time
period specified in Section 6.3.1, shall bear interest at a rate of [***]
percent ([***]%) per month from the due date until paid in full or, if less,
the
maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Laws. Any such overdue royalty,
Net Income Payment or milestone payment shall, when made, be accompanied by,
and
credited first to, all interest so accrued.
6.4.5 Withholding
Taxes.
All
payments made by a Party hereunder shall be free and clear of any taxes, duties,
levies, fees or charges except for applicable withholding taxes, if any. The
paying Party shall make any applicable withholding payments due from the
non-paying Party on its behalf and shall promptly thereafter provide the
non-paying Party with written documentation of any such payment sufficient
to
enable non-paying Party to satisfy the requirements of the United States
Internal Revenue Service or any tax authority of any other country, as
applicable, with regard to an application for a foreign tax credit for such
payment.
6.4.6 Foreign
Currency Exchange.
All
royalties and Net Income Payments shall be payable in full in United States
Dollars, regardless of the countries in which sales are made. For the purpose
of
computing Net Sales for Licensed Products sold in any currency other than United
States Dollars, the quarterly royalty payment will be calculated as
follows:
(A/B)
x C=
United States Dollars royalty payment on Net Sales sold in any currency other
than United States Dollars during a Calendar Quarter, where

10.2.1 Third
Party
Infringement.
The
Parties, understanding
that the value of a Licensed Product is related to the exclusivity provided
thereto by the [***]
Conjugate
Patent Rights and the Joint Patent Rights, agree that:
(a) In
the
event either Party becomes aware of any potential infringement in the Field
of,
or the submission by any Third Party of an abbreviated NDA under the
Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act for any generic approval of a Licensed Product in the Field
that is covered by, any Licensed Patent Rights, ImmunoGen Patent Rights,
[***]
Conjugate
Patent
Rights, Biotest Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights (an “Infringement”), that

by
reasonable steps, which may include, in any case, the institution of legal
proceedings or other action. [***] agrees that, consistent with the Parties’
interests hereunder, [***] shall be consulted with respect to decisions related

([***]) days from an Infringement Notice or within [***] ([***]) days in the
case of a certification against a patent listed in the Orange Book, [***] shall
have the right to defend the applicable [***]
Conjugate
Patent
Rights and/or Joint Patent Rights, at its sole cost and expense.
(c) ImmunoGen shall
have
the first right and option, but not the obligation, to eliminate any such
Infringement that is covered by the Licensed Patent Rights and/or any Joint
Patent Rights that contain
one or more claims
that cover MAY Compounds in general and/or that cover both a Licensed Product
and one or more other products Controlled by ImmunoGen
by taking
reasonable steps, which may include the institution of legal proceedings or
other action; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Biotest agrees
to
cooperate in good faith with ImmunoGen or any Third Party from which ImmunoGen
has licensed ImmunoGen Patent Rights to determine the most reasonable method
of
eliminating the Infringement in view of the Parties’ respective interests and
ImmunoGen’s obligations to such Third Party. ImmunoGen agrees that, consistent
with the Parties’ interests hereunder, Biotest shall be consulted with respect
to decisions related to such defense of the Licensed Patent Rights and/or any
Joint Patent Rights. Subject to Section 10.2.1(f), all costs, including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees, relating to such legal proceedings or other action

(or [***] ([***]) days in the case of an Infringement under the Xxxxx-Xxxxxx
Act, e.g., in the case of a certification against a patent listed in the Orange
Book), then Biotest shall have the right and option to do so at its expense.

(f) Notwithstanding
anything
to the contrary in this Section 10.2.1, if ImmunoGen has exercised its
Co-Development Option with respect to a Licensed Product under Section 5.1.1
of
this Agreement, both Biotest and ImmunoGen (in each case directly or through
a
Third Party partner, as applicable) will be responsible for jointly eliminating
any Infringement of [***]
Conjugate
Patent Rights and/or Joint Patent Rights in the Co-Development Territory by
reasonable steps, which may include the institution of legal proceedings or
other action, at shared cost. Notwithstanding this joint responsibility, the
Parties agree that [***] shall lead the defense of such potential infringement,

be deemed to be Commercialization Expenses.
(g) Each
Party shall have the
right to participate, and be represented by counsel that it selects, in any
legal proceedings or other action instituted under this Section by the other
Party. If a Party with the right to initiate legal proceedings under this
Section to eliminate an Infringement lacks standing to do so and the other
Party
has standing to initiate such legal proceedings, then the Party with standing
shall initiate such legal proceedings at the request and expense of the other
Party. Neither
Party shall settle any Infringement claim or proceeding under this Section
10.2.1 without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent
shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(h) In
any
action, suit or proceeding instituted under this Section 10.2.1, the Parties
shall cooperate with and assist each other in all reasonable respects. Upon
the
reasonable request of the Party instituting such action, suit or proceeding,
the
other Party shall join therein and shall be represented using counsel of its
own
choice, at the requesting Party’s expense.
(i) Any
amounts recovered by the Parties pursuant to this Section, whether by settlement
or judgment, shall be allocated in the following order: (i) first, to reimburse
Biotest and ImmunoGen for their reasonable Out-of-Pocket Costs in making such
recovery (which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover
the
totality of such expenses); and (ii) then, (A) to the extent the Infringement
relates to a Royalty-Bearing Product in the Royalty-Bearing Territory, to
Biotest in reimbursement for lost sales associated with such Royalty-Bearing
Products and to ImmunoGen in reimbursement for lost royalties owing hereunder
based on such lost sales and (B) to the extent the Infringement relates to
a
Co-Developed Product in the Co-Development Territory, to the calculation of
Net
Income with respect to such Co-Developed Product. Any other damages, awards
or
amounts recovered (including for punitive damages) shall be allocated as

or
taking such other legal action, [***]
percent
([***]%)
to
[***]
and (C)
if the suit is brought jointly, [***] percent ([***]%) to [***]
Party.
(j) For
purposes of clarity,
the Parties acknowledge that this Section concerns enforcement of the various
Patent Rights defined in this Agreement, and does not relate to ownership of
the
various Patent Rights defined in this Agreement, which are recognized to be
separate legal issues.
10.2.2 Defense
of Claims.
In the
event that any action, suit or proceeding is brought against either Party or
any
Affiliate or sublicensee of either Party alleging the infringement of the
Technology or Patent Rights of a Third Party by reason of the conduct of the
Research Program, the Development or Commercialization of any Licensed Product
under the Licensed Patent Rights: (a) ImmunoGen as the owner of the Licensed
Patent Rights shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
defend
such action, suit or proceeding at its sole expense; (b) Biotest shall have
the
right to participate by separate counsel at its own expense in any such action,
suit or proceeding; and (c) the Parties shall cooperate with each other in
all
reasonable respects in any such action, suit or proceeding. In the event that
any action, suit or proceeding is
64
Portions
of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the
Secretary
of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
brought
against either Party or any Affiliate or sublicensee of either Party alleging
the infringement of the Technology or Patent Rights of a Third Party by reason
of the conduct of the Research Program, the Development or Commercialization
of
any Licensed Product under Biotest Patent Rights: (a) Biotest as the owner
of
the Biotest Patent Rights shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to
defend
such action, suit or proceeding at its sole expense; (b) the Parties shall
cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in any such action, suit
or
proceeding. If such action, suit or proceeding relates to Co-Developed Products
in the Co-Development Territory or relates to Joint Patent Rights or
[***]
Conjugate Patent Rights,
both
Parties shall equally share the cost and expense of any such action, suit or
proceeding and the cost and expense of the above shall be used to calculate
Net
Income for that Co-Developed Product. Each Party shall provide the other Party
with prompt written notice of the commencement of any such suit, action or
proceeding, or of any allegation of infringement of which such Party becomes
aware, and shall promptly furnish the other Party with a copy of each
communication relating to the alleged infringement that is received by such
Party. For purposes of clarity, nothing in this Section 10.2.2 shall affect
the
right of ImmunoGen to defend itself in any such action, suit or proceeding
relating to ImmunoGen Patent Rights. Biotest shall not compromise, litigate,
settle or otherwise dispose of any such suit, action or proceeding that involves
the use of ImmunoGen Patent Rights without ImmunoGen’s prior written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
10.3 Trademark
Prosecution.
Biotest
shall be responsible for the filing, prosecution, defense and maintenance before
all trademark offices of the Licensed Product Trademarks at Biotest’s
expense.
In the
event that ImmunoGen has exercised a Co-Development Option to a Licensed Product
both Parties shall be responsible for the filing, prosecution, defense and
maintenance before all trademark offices in the Co-Development Territory of
the
Licensed Product Trademarks of such Co-Developed Product under the direction
of
the JDC
or
JMC,
as
appropriate,
and shall
equally share all expenses related thereto.
10.4 Orange
Book
Listing.
The Parties agree that,
upon the filing of an NDA covering a Licensed Product, the Parties will
designate which Party shall be responsible for listing the Patent Rights
covering the Licensed Product in the Orange Book and, subject to the foregoing,
the Party so designated shall promptly list such Patent Rights in the Orange
Book.
11. TERM
AND TERMINATION
11.1 Term.
This
Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force
and effect until such time as all Royalty Terms for all Licensed Products have
ended, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 11 (the
“Term”).
Thereafter, if not earlier terminated pursuant to Section 11.2, Biotest shall
have a worldwide, fully paid-up and royalty-free license for the use and the
Commercialization of all Licensed Products. In the event that either Party
discontinues with its activities under this Agreement for good and valid
reasons, including, without limitation, toxicological, pharmaceutical and
ethical reasons, then the Parties shall, in good faith, discuss the situation
and use commercially reasonable efforts in order to agree on an appropriate
solution, including, without limitation, an early termination of or an amendment
to this Agreement. In the event of a dispute between the Parties as to whether
or not any discontinuation by a Party of its activities under this Agreement
is
justified by good and valid reasons, such dispute shall first, according
to
65
Portions
of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the
Secretary
of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
Section
2.1.6, be referred to the JSC, and, to the extent not resolved by the JSC,
referred to arbitration according to Section 14.1.
11.2 Termination.
This
Agreement may only be terminated at any time by either Party, or by the Party
specified, as follows:
11.2.1 Termination
for Breach.
Either
Party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice
to
the other Party, by giving [***] ([***]) days’ written notice to the other Party
committing any material breach with respect to the failure to pay any amounts
due hereunder and [***] ([***]) days’ written notice to the Party committing any
other material breach; provided that, notwithstanding any indemnity claims
of
the non-breaching Party against the Party committing the breach according to
Section 13, such material breach would render it reasonably unacceptable for
the
other Party to continue with the collaboration with the breaching Party and
the
activities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein, (a) if the asserted breach is cured or shown to be non-existent
within the applicable cure period, the notice of breach hereunder shall be
deemed automatically withdrawn and (b) a material default by a Party shall
not
give rise to the termination right under this Section 11.2.1 to the extent
such
material default arises from a Force Majeure event described in Section 14.11;
provided, that the Party allegedly breaching the Agreement shall have the burden
of demonstrating the occurrence of the Force Majeure event. In the event of
a
dispute between the Parties as to whether or not any conduct of either Party
constitutes a material breach, such dispute shall, first, according to Section
2.1.6, be referred to the JSC, and, to the extent not resolved by the JSC,
be
referred to arbitration according to Section 14.1.
11.2.2 Termination
for Insolvency.

In
the
event of Bankruptcy of a Party, then the other Party may terminate this
Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to such Party. For purpose

of
its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of
or
taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other
proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or shall take any corporate action to authorize any of
the
foregoing; (b) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced
against such Party seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with
respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other
similar law now or hereinafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a
trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or
any
substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding
shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days;
(c) a decree or order for relief shall be entered against such Party under
any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law as now or hereafter in effect;
(d) such Party’s liabilities exceed the fair market value of its assets or such
Party otherwise becomes insolvent or (e) the dissolution or liquidation
of, or cessation of business in the ordinary course by, such Party or such
Party
being unable to pay its debts as they come due, or the admission in writing
of
