“2.1.3 | Amendments to the Research Plan. |
a. | During the term of this Agreement, Pfizer may from time to time, in its sole discretion, propose in writing to Medarex the research and development of one or more target molecules during the term of this Agreement (each, a “Pfizer Proposal”). Each such Pfizer Proposal shall contain the following information with respect to each proposed target molecule: its common name, its amino acid sequence and its GenBank accession number. In addition, each Pfizer Proposal shall indicate the calendar year in which Pfizer desires for Medarex to commence research under the Research Plan with respect to such target molecule. |
b. | Within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Pfizer Proposal, Medarex shall notify Pfizer in writing as to which, if any, of the proposed target molecules are Excluded Antigens. All proposed target molecules that are not Excluded Antigens will automatically be deemed to be accepted by Medarex and thus designated as Target Antigens, provided, however, during the term of this Agreement, Medarex shall not be obligated to accept more than fifty (50) Target Antigens. Upon such designation of a target molecule as a Target Antigen, the Parties shall adopt a written amendment to the Research Plan for |
2
such Target Antigen during the one hundred and eighty (180) day period immediately following such designation. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the following antigens are Target Antigens for all purposes of this Amendment #1: [***].
c. | An Excluded Antigen shall be defined as a target molecule that satisfies any one or more of the following criteria: |
(1) | a target molecule on which Medarex is, either alone or with a third party collaborator, as of the Amendment #1 Effective Date, actively conducting a research or development program, or against which Medarex is raising or has raised antibodies (a “Qualified Existing Program”); provided that if a Qualified Existing Program is terminated by Medarex and its third party collaborator (if any) with respect to a given target molecule, such target molecule will no longer be deemed to be an Excluded Antigen; provided further that Medarex shall have no obligation to provide notice to Pfizer with respect to termination of any such Qualified Existing Program. |
(2) | a target molecule that is, or prior to receipt of a Pfizer Proposal subsequently becomes, subject to an agreement that is in effect on the Amendment #1 Effective Date between Medarex and a third party, whereby under the terms of such agreement Medarex or such third party (or such third party’s sublicensee) has, or obtains, the rights to research, develop and/or commercialize antibodies against such target molecule on an exclusive basis (“Qualified Exclusive Rights”); provided that if such Qualified Exclusive Rights are terminated with respect to a given target molecule (or antibodies against such molecule), such target molecule will no longer be deemed to be an Excluded Antigen; provided further that Medarex shall have no obligation to provide notice to Pfizer with respect to termination of any such Qualified Exclusive Rights. |
(3) | a target molecule that is, or prior to receipt of a Pfizer Proposal subsequently becomes, subject to an agreement that is in effect on the Amendment #1 Effective Date between Medarex and a third party, whereby Medarex is precluded from immunizing its mice with respect to such target molecule pursuant to the provisions of such third party agreement (such molecule, a “Precluded Target”); provided that if Medarex subsequently becomes able to immunize its mice with respect to any such Precluded Target, such Precluded Target will no longer be deemed to be an Excluded Antigen; provided further that Medarex shall have no obligation to provide notice to Pfizer with respect to Medarex’s ability to immunize with respect to any such Precluded Target. |
[***] | REPRESENTS CONFIDENTIAL PORTION WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS. |
3
(4) | a target molecule selected by Medarex and added to Medarex Internal List X-3 (a “Qualified Future Program”); provided that: (i) the target molecule is subject to a research, development and/or commercialization program undertaken by Medarex, either alone or with a third party collaborator at the time it is added to Medarex Internal List X-3, (ii) the target molecule is not the subject of a Pfizer Proposal pursuant to Section 2.1.3(a) received by Medarex prior to Medarex’s adding the target molecule to Medarex Internal List X-3, (iii) Medarex may only select five (5) such target molecules each calendar year; and (iv) Medarex may select only one (1) such target molecule each calendar year for any given third-party collaborator. If a Qualified Future Program is terminated by Medarex and its third party collaborator (if any) with respect to a given target molecule, such target molecule will no longer be deemed to be an Excluded Antigen; provided that Medarex shall have no obligation to provide notice to Pfizer with respect to termination of any such Qualified Future Program. |
Medarex Internal List X-1 shall list all target molecules described in subsection 2.1.3(c)(1) and shall be maintained at the offices of Medarex’s General Counsel. Medarex Internal List X-2 shall list all agreements described in subsections 2.1.3(c)(2) and (3) and shall be maintained at the offices of Medarex’s General Counsel. Medarex Internal List X-3 shall list all target molecules described in subsections 2.1.3(c)(2), (3) and (4) above and shall be maintained at the offices of Medarex’s General Counsel. Medarex Internal List X-3 shall be updated promptly to include target molecules described in subsections 2.1.3(c)(2), (3) and (4) above.
d. | With the exception of that certain Collaboration and License Agreement between Medarex and Kirin Brewery Company, Ltd., dated September 4, 2002, Medarex shall not renew any existing agreements that give third parties exclusivity with respect to target molecules. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence and except as permitted pursuant to Section 2.1.3(c)(4), as of the Amendment #1 Effective Date, Medarex shall not enter into new agreements that grant third parties an exclusive license to raise fully-human antibodies against target molecules. It is understood and agreed that the foregoing sentence shall not prevent Medarex from granting exclusive licenses to specific antibodies. |
e. | Medarex represents and warrants that, as of the Amendment #1 Effective Date, there are no more than 140 target molecules that constitute Excluded Antigens. Medarex represents and warrants that, as of the Amendment #1 Effective Date, Medarex Internal List X-1 and X-3 contain an accurate and complete list of target molecules described in subsections 2.1.3(c)(1), (2) and (3), including for each the date when such Excluded Antigen was proposed by a third party or became subject to a third party agreement or the date when Medarex selected it for internal development, as the case may be. Medarex represents and warrants that, as of the Amendment #1 Effective Date, Medarex Internal List X-2 contains an accurate and complete list of the agreements described in subsections 2.1.3(c)(2) and (3), including for each the effective date of such agreement. Medarex covenants that Medarex Internal Lists X-1 and X-3 shall at all times contain an accurate and complete list of Excluded Antigens, and it shall update Medarex Internal List X-3 in a timely manner. |
4
f. | Pfizer shall have the right to audit Medarex Internal Lists X-1, X-2 and X-3 no more than once each year to determine if Medarex is complying with the terms of Section 2.1.3 as it relates to molecule targets included by Pfizer as part of a Pfizer Proposal (“Proposed Molecule Targets”). The audit will be conducted by an independent third party acceptable to both parties and experienced in drug discovery processes. Medarex will provide the auditor with such information as the auditor may reasonably require in order for it determine whether Medarex is in compliance with Section 2.1.3 with respect to Proposed Molecule Targets. The auditor will then send a report to Pfizer and Medarex, in which the auditor will state whether or not Medarex is in compliance with Section 2.1.3 with respect to Proposed Molecule Targets, but such report will not disclose any information contained on Medarex Internal Lists X-1, X-2 and X-3. If the auditor reports that Medarex is not in compliance, the auditor shall, in a separate report sent only to Medarex, explain in detail the reasons for the auditor’s conclusions. If Medarex agrees with the auditor’s conclusions, Medarex shall modify the applicable Medarex Internal List(s) so as to be in compliance with Section 2.1.3 with respect to Proposed Molecule Targets. In these circumstances, if a Proposed Molecule Target would have become a Target Antigen but for the non-compliance identified by the Auditor, then such Proposed Molecular Target will, at Pfizer’s sole discretion, immediately be deemed to be a Target Antigen. If Medarex does not agree with the auditor’s conclusions, the chief executive officer of Medarex (the “Medarex Representative”) and the Vice President, Strategic Alliances of Pfizer (the “Pfizer Representative”) shall meet to discuss the matter and shall, in good faith seek to resolve the issue, provided that in no event shall the Medarex Representative be obligated to disclose the confidential information of any third party to the Pfizer Representative. Pfizer will pay the costs of such independent auditor described in this subsection, unless Medarex makes a modification to an Medarex Internal List as a result of a given auditor report, in which case Medarex shall pay the auditor’s costs in connection with that audit report.” |

control, Medarex is unsuccessful in reaching a milestone, the same method shall be used to compensate Medarex for work actually completed since the last milestone payment. Pfizer will pay any third-party program costs that Medarex is required to pay because of a program termination. Medarex will make reasonable efforts to mitigate such costs.
f. | Medarex may delay commencement of activities under the Research Plan with respect to a Target Antigen other than (I) a Target Antigen that Medarex is working on as of the Amendment #1 Effective Date and (II) the [***] Target Antigens per calendar year whose funding is reflected by the Fixed Payments, until the later of (a) the date which is six (6) months subsequent to the date of Medarex’s receipt of a Pfizer Proposal with respect to such Target Antigen and (b) the date which is two (2) months subsequent to the date of completion of the Research Plan with respect to such Target Antigen. |
g. | Pfizer shall have the right to cease providing Fixed Payments by providing Medarex eighteen (18) months advance written notice; provided however, Fixed Payments shall cease no earlier than September 30, 2008. In such case, Medarex shall no longer be obligated to reserve capacity for Pfizer Target Antigen programs. Subject to Section 3.1(h) below, if Pfizer elects to cease making Fixed Payments as provided above, Pfizer shall nevertheless continue to have the right to propose Pfizer Proposals pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.3(b) and Medarex shall have the right to decline such Pfizer Proposals for any reason. |
h. | In the event that, subsequent to Pfizer’s election to cease providing Fixed Payments pursuant to Section 3.1(g), Pfizer desires to resume making Fixed Payments, Pfizer shall provide Medarex with written notice of such resumption. Following the receipt by Medarex of such Fixed Payments, all of the terms and conditions of Section 2.1.3 and this Section 3.1 shall apply as though the Fixed Payments had never ceased; provided that Medarex may delay commencement of activities under the Research Plan with respect to the initial Target Antigen programs subsequent to such resumption of Fixed Payments until the later of (a) the date which is six (6) months subsequent to the date of Medarex’s receipt of a Pfizer Proposal with respect to such Target Antigen(s) and (b) the date which is two (2) months subsequent to the date of completion of the Research Plan with respect to such Target Antigen(s). |
i. | Effective for the one-year period commencing on October 1, 2006 and for each one-year period commencing on October 1st of each calendar year thereafter, the amounts payable by Pfizer pursuant to Sections 3.1(c) and 3.1(d) shall be increased by [***] over the amounts payable during the previous one-year period. |
