- 34 -

(d) in the event that, and in such case from and after the date on which, a Licensed Product is Exploited in a country or other jurisdiction and is not covered by a Valid Claim of a Licensor Background Patent or Licensor Program Patent that covers the Manufacture, use or sale of a Licensed Product in such country or other jurisdiction, the royalty rate set forth in Section 7.6.1 with respect to such country or other jurisdiction (for purposes of calculations under Section 7.6.1), each shall be reduced by [***]; and

7.7 Royalty Payments and Reports.   AbbVie shall calculate all amounts payable to Licensor pursuant to Section 7.6 at the end of each Calendar Quarter, which amounts shall be converted to Dollars, in accordance with Section 7.8.  AbbVie shall pay to Licensor the royalty amounts due with respect to a given Calendar Quarter within [***] after the end of such Calendar Quarter.  Each payment of royalties due to Licensor shall be accompanied by a statement of the amount of Net Sales of each Licensed Product in each country or other jurisdiction in the Territory during the applicable Calendar Quarter (including such amounts expressed in local currency and as converted to Dollars) and a calculation of the amount of royalty payment due on such Net Sales for such Calendar Quarter.

7.9 Withholding Taxes.   Where any sum due to be paid to either Party hereunder is subject to any withholding or similar tax, the Parties shall use their commercially

- 35 -

reasonable efforts to do all such acts and things and to sign all such documents as will enable them to take advantage of any applicable double taxation agreement or treaty.  In the event there is no applicable double taxation agreement or treaty, or if an applicable double taxation agreement or treaty reduces but does not eliminate such withholding or similar tax, the payor shall remit such withholding or similar tax to the appropriate government authority, deduct the amount paid from the amount due to payee and secure and send to payee the best available evidence of such withholding or similar tax.  If withholding or similar taxes are paid to a government authority, each Party will provide the other such assistance as is reasonably required to obtain a refund of the withheld or similar taxes, or obtain a credit with respect to such taxes paid. In the event that a government authority retroactively determines that a payment made by a Party to the other pursuant to this Agreement should have been subject to withholding or similar (or to additional withholding or similar) taxes, and such Party (the “Withholding Party”) remits such withholding or similar taxes to the government authority, the Withholding Party will have the right (a) to offset such amount, including any interest and penalties that may be imposed thereon (except to the extent any such interest or penalties result from the negligence of the Withholding Party), against future payment obligations of the Withholding Party under this Agreement, (b) to invoice the other Party for such amount (which shall be payable by the other Party within [***] of its receipt of such invoice) or (c) to pursue reimbursement by any other available remedy. 

7.10 Indirect Taxes.   All payments are exclusive of value added taxes, sales taxes, consumption taxes and other similar taxes (the “Indirect Taxes”).  If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any payments, the paying Party shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of such payments following receipt, where applicable, of an Indirect Taxes invoice in the appropriate form issued by the receiving Party in respect of those payments. The Parties shall issue invoices for all amounts payable under this Agreement consistent with Indirect Tax requirements and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes.  If the Indirect Taxes originally paid or otherwise borne by the paying Party are in whole or in part subsequently determined not to have been chargeable, all necessary steps will be taken by the receiving Party to receive a refund of these undue Indirect Taxes from the applicable governmental authority or other fiscal authority and any amount of undue Indirect Taxes repaid by such authority to the receiving Party will be transferred to the paying Party within [***] of receipt. In the event that a government authority retroactively determines that a payment made by the paying Party to the receiving Party pursuant to this Agreement should have been subject to Indirect Taxes, and the receiving Party is required to remit such Indirect Taxes to the government authority, the receiving Party will have the right (a) to invoice the paying Party for such amount (which shall be payable by the paying Party within [***] of its receipt of such invoice) or (b) to pursue reimbursement by any other available remedy.

7.11 Interest on Late Payments.   If any payment due to either Party under this Agreement is not paid when due, then such paying Party shall pay interest thereon (before and after any judgment) at an annual rate (but with interest accruing on a daily basis) of [***], such interest to run from the date on which payment of such sum became due until payment thereof in full together with such interest.

7.12 Financial Records.

7.14 Audit Dispute.   In the event of a dispute with respect to any audit under Section 7.13, Licensor and AbbVie shall work in good faith to resolve the disagreement.  If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such dispute within [***], the dispute shall be submitted for resolution to a certified public accounting firm jointly selected by each Party’s certified public accountants or to such other Person as the Parties shall mutually agree (the “Audit Arbitrator”).  The decision of the Audit Arbitrator shall be final and the costs of such arbitration as well as the initial audit shall be borne between the Parties in such manner as the Audit Arbitrator shall determine.  Not later than [***] after such decision and in accordance with such decision, AbbVie shall pay the additional amounts, with interest from the date originally due as provided in Section 7.10, or Licensor shall reimburse the excess payments, as applicable.

7.15 Confidentiality.   Licensor shall treat all information subject to review under this ARTICLE 7 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of ARTICLE 10 and the Parties shall cause the Audit Arbitrator to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with AbbVie obligating such firm to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

7.16 Diagnostic or Veterinary Products .  The development milestones, regulatory milestones, sales-based milestones and royalties in Sections 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 shall not apply to Development and Commercialization of Discovery PDCs or Licensed Products for diagnostic or veterinary use, or for uses solely for screening patients who have been diagnosed with a disease, state, or condition for eligibility to be treated for such disease, state, or condition with a Discovery PDC or Licensed Product or for monitoring patients who are or have been treated with a Discovery PDC or Licensed Product.  In the event that a Discovery PDC or Licensed Product is Developed for any such purposes, the Parties shall negotiate a downward adjustment to royalties for the sale of such Licensed Product that reflects the commercial potential of such Licensed Product and standard commercial terms in the industry for diagnostic or veterinary products, as applicable. 

7.17 No Other Compensation.   Each Party hereby agrees that the terms of this Agreement fully define all consideration, compensation and benefits, monetary or otherwise, to be paid, granted or delivered by one (1) Party to the other Party in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

(b) AbbVie shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to prosecute any Product Infringement in the Territory involving any AbbVie Background Patents and AbbVie Program Patents in the Territory at its sole expense and AbbVie shall retain control of the prosecution of such claim, suit or proceeding. During any such claim, suit, or proceeding, to enforce any AbbVie Program Patents, AbbVie shall: (i) provide Licensor with drafts of all official papers and statements (whether written or oral) prior to their submission in such claim, suit, or proceeding, in sufficient time to allow Licensor to review, consider and substantively comment thereon; (ii) allow Licensor the opportunity to participate in the preparation of witnesses and other participants in such claim, suit, or proceeding at its own expense; and (iii) not settle any such claim, suit, or proceeding except in a manner that it believes in good faith is in the best interests of the Discovery PDCs and Licensed Products.

- 43 -

(c) AbbVie shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to prosecute any such infringement of Joint Program Patents in the Territory at its sole expense and AbbVie shall retain control of the prosecution of such claim, suit or proceeding.  In the event AbbVie prosecutes any such infringement, Licensor shall have the right to join as a party to such claim, suit or proceeding in the Territory and participate with its own counsel at its own expense; provided that AbbVie shall retain control of the prosecution of such claim, suit or proceeding.  If AbbVie does not take commercially reasonable steps to prosecute the alleged or threatened infringement in the Territory with respect to such Joint Program Patents (i) within [***] following the first notice provided above with respect to such alleged infringement, or (ii) provided such date occurs after the first such notice of infringement is provided, [***] before the time limit, if any, set forth in appropriate laws and regulations for filing of such actions, whichever comes first, then Licensor may prosecute the alleged or threatened infringement in the Territory at its own expense.  

8.3.3 Patent Exclusivity Listings.  If either Party receives a copy of an application submitted to the FDA under subsection (k) of Section 351 of the PHSA (a “Biosimilar Application”) naming a Licensed Product as a reference product or otherwise becomes aware that such a Biosimilar Application has been filed (such as in an instance described in Section 351(l)(9)(C) of the PHSA), either Party shall, within [***], notify the other Party so that the other Party may seek permission to view the application and related confidential information from the filer of the Biosimilar Application under Section 351(l)(1)(B)(iii) of the PHSA.  If either Party receives any equivalent or similar certification or notice in any other jurisdiction in the Territory, either Party shall, within [***], notify and provide the other Party with copies of such communication.  Regardless of the Party that is the “reference product sponsor” for purposes of such Biosimilar Application, (a) AbbVie shall have the sole right to designate pursuant to Section 351(l)(1)(B)(ii) of the PHSA the outside counsel and in-house counsel who shall receive confidential access to the Biosimilar Application; (b) AbbVie shall have the sole right to list any AbbVie Background Patent, AbbVie Program Patent and Joint Program Patents (and, with the agreement of Licensor, any Licensor Background Patents or Licensor Program Patents), insofar as they claim or cover the applicable Licensed Product as required pursuant to Section 351(l)(3)(A), Section 351(l)(5)(b)(i)(II), or Section 351(l)(7) of the PHSA, to respond to any communications with respect to such lists from the filer of the Biosimilar Application, and to negotiate with the filer of the Biosimilar Application as to whether to utilize a different mechanism for information exchange than that specified in Section 351(l) of the PHSA; and (c) AbbVie shall have the sole right to identify Patents or respond to communications under any equivalent or similar listing in any other jurisdiction in the Territory.  If required pursuant to Applicable Law, Licensor shall prepare such lists and make such responses at AbbVie’s direction.  Licensor shall (i) provide to AbbVie, within [***] of AbbVie’s request, all Information, including a correct and complete list of Licensor Background Patents or Licensor Program Patents covering any Licensed Product, that is necessary or reasonably useful to enable AbbVie to make such lists and communications with respect to the Licensor Background Patents or Licensor Program Patents, and (ii) cooperate with AbbVie’s reasonable requests in connection therewith, including meeting any submission deadlines, in each case, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Law.  AbbVie shall (A) reasonably consult with Licensor prior to identifying any Licensor Background Patents or Licensor Program Patents to a

- 44 -

Third Party as contemplated by this Section 8.3.3 and shall consider in good faith Licensor’s advice and suggestions with respect thereto, and (B) notify Licensor of any such lists or communications promptly after they are made. 

8.3.4 Conduct of Patent Litigation Under the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.3, AbbVie shall have the first right to bring an action for infringement of the Licensor Program Patents, AbbVie Background Patents, AbbVie Program Patents or Joint Program Patents as required under Section 351(l)(6) of the PHSA following the agreement on a list of patents for litigation under Section 351(l)(4) or exchange of Patent lists pursuant to Section 351(l)(5)(B) of such act, or as required following any equivalent or similar certification or notice in any other jurisdiction.  The Parties’ rights and obligations with respect to the foregoing legal actions shall be as set forth in Sections 8.3.1 through 8.3.5; provided, that within [***] of reaching agreement on a list of Patents for litigation under Section 351(l)(4) or exchange of Patent lists pursuant to Section 351(l)(5)(B), AbbVie shall notify Licensor as to whether or not it elects to prosecute such infringement.  Either Party shall, within [***], notify and provide the other Party with copies of any notice of commercial marketing provided by the filer of a Biosimilar Application pursuant to Section 351(l)(8)(A) of the PHSA, or any equivalent or similar certification or notice in any other jurisdiction.  Thereafter, the Party controlling any Patent infringement litigation pursuant to this Section 8.3.4 shall have the first right to seek an injunction against such commercial marketing as permitted pursuant to Section 351(l)(8)(B) of the PHSA.  If no such litigation is ongoing at the time of such notice, then AbbVie shall have the first right to seek such an injunction.

8.3.5 Cooperation.  The Parties agree to cooperate fully in any infringement action pursuant to this Section 8.3.  Where a Party brings such an action, the other Party shall, where necessary, furnish a power of attorney solely for such purpose or shall join in, or be named as a necessary party to, such action.  Unless otherwise set forth herein, the Party entitled to bring any patent infringement litigation in accordance with this Section 8.3 shall have the right to settle such claim; provided that neither Party shall have the right to settle any patent infringement litigation under this Section 8.3 in a manner that diminishes or has a material adverse effect on the rights or interest of the other Party, or in a manner that imposes any costs or liability on, or involves any admission by, the other Party, without the express written consent of such other Party.  The Party commencing the litigation shall provide the other Party with copies of all pleadings and other documents filed with the court and shall consider reasonable input from the other Party during the course of the proceedings.

8.3.6 Recovery. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in connection with a cost sharing arrangement, any recovery realized as a result of such litigation described in Section 8.3.1, 8.3.2, or 8.3.4 (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be first, allocated to reimburse the Parties for their costs and expenses in making such recovery (which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality of such expenses).  [***]

8.3.7 Costs and Expenses.  AbbVie shall be entitled to deduct [***] of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs borne by AbbVie in connection with such litigation in a given

- 45 -

Calendar Quarter from any amounts due to Licensor under this Agreement for such Calendar Quarter, with any balance then remaining to be carried over to subsequent Calendar Quarters and applied against any amounts due with respect to such subsequent Calendar Quarters.  

8.4 Infringement Claims by Third Parties.   If the manufacture, sale, or use of a Discovery Probody, Discovery PDC or Licensed Product in the Territory pursuant to this Agreement results in, or may result in, any claim, suit, or proceeding by a Third Party alleging patent infringement by AbbVie (or its Affiliates or Sublicensees), AbbVie shall promptly notify Licensor thereof in writing.  AbbVie shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding at its own expense (but subject to deduction as provided below), using counsel of its own choice.  Licensor may participate in any such claim, suit, or proceeding with counsel of its choice at its own expense.  Without limitation of the foregoing, if AbbVie finds it necessary or desirable to join Licensor as a party to any such action, Licensor shall execute all papers and perform such acts as shall be reasonably required, provided that AbbVie reimburses any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Licensor as a result.  If AbbVie elects (in a written communication submitted to Licensor within a reasonable amount of time after notice of the alleged patent infringement) not to defend or control the defense of, or otherwise fails to initiate and maintain the defense of, any such claim, suit, or proceeding, within such time periods so that Licensor is not prejudiced by any delays, Licensor may conduct and control the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding at its own expense.  Each Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit, or proceeding.  [***]

8.5 Invalidity or Unenforceability Defenses or Actions.

8.5.6 Costs and Expenses.  AbbVie shall be entitled to offset up to [***] of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of defending such claim, suit, or proceeding under this Section 8.5 that are borne by AbbVie in a given Calendar Quarter against any amounts owed to Licensor under this Agreement for such Calendar Quarter, with any balance then remaining to be carried over to amounts due with respect to such subsequent Calendar Quarters.

8.6 Third Party Licenses.   If in the reasonable opinion of AbbVie, the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of any Discovery PDC or Licensed Product by AbbVie, any of its Affiliates, or any of its or their Sublicensees infringes or misappropriates any Patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property right of a Third Party in any country or other jurisdiction in the Territory, such that AbbVie, any of its Affiliates or any of its or their Sublicensees cannot Develop, Manufacture, or Commercialize such Discovery PDC or Licensed Product in such country or other jurisdiction without infringing such Patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property right of such Third Party, then AbbVie shall provide notice of such potential infringement or misappropriation, and the Parties agree to meet within [***] after such notice to determine whether a license to such Third Party intellectual property is necessary, and, if the Parties agree a license is necessary, which Party should obtain a license to such Third Party intellectual property; provided, however that if the Parties cannot agree as to either the necessity of such a license or as to which Party should seek such license in such meeting, then (a) if such

- 47 -

Patent, trade secret or other intellectual property right covers or is necessary to Exploit other Probodies in addition to Discovery Probodies, then Licensor shall have the right for a period of [***] following the date of such meeting between the Parties to negotiate a license for such intellectual property, which license shall include the right of Licensor to sublicense such intellectual property to AbbVie; provided if Licensor is not able to obtain such license within such [***] period, then AbbVie shall have the sole right to obtain such license to Develop, Manufacture, and Commercialize Discovery PDC and Licensed Products; and (b) otherwise, AbbVie shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to negotiate and obtain a license from such Third Party as necessary for AbbVie and its Affiliates, and its and their Sublicensees to Develop, Manufacture, and Commercialize Discovery PDC and Licensed Products in such country or other jurisdiction, and in each case any amounts due under such Third Party license shall be allocated in accordance with Section 7.6.3(b).

ARTICLE 10 Confidentiality AND Non-Disclosure

10.1 Product Information.  Licensor recognizes that by reason of, inter alia, AbbVie’s status as an exclusive licensee pursuant to the grants under Section 6.1, AbbVie has an interest in Licensor’s maintaining the confidentiality of certain information of Licensor.  Accordingly, on an Accepted Target-by-Accepted Target basis, from the applicable Target Acceptance Date and for the remainder of the Term, Licensor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents to, keep completely confidential, and not publish or otherwise disclose, and not use directly or indirectly for any purpose other than to fulfill Licensor’s obligations hereunder any Information owned or Controlled by Licensor or any of its Affiliates solely relating to any Discovery PDC or Licensed Product, or the Exploitation of any of the foregoing (the “Product Information”); except to the extent (a) the Product Information is in the public domain through no fault of Licensor, its Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents; (b) such disclosure or use is expressly permitted under Section 10.3, (c) such disclosure or use is otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement, or (d) such disclosure or use is reasonably necessary for Licensor to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement  and is subject to confidentiality and non-use provisions consistent with those

- 49 -

contained in this Agreement.  For purposes of clarity, Licensor may use general learnings that are broadly applicable to the Licensor Platform for its products, including Probodies, other than Discovery Probodies and Discovery PDCs to the extent reasonably necessary to Develop, Manufacture or Exploit such products, and, in connection with such activities may disclose such general learnings to outside consultants, contractors, advisory boards, managed care organizations, and non-clinical and clinical investigators, under reasonable obligations of confidentiality; provided that such general learnings expressly exclude Product Information, any results or data generated in connection with Development Activities and the Confidential Information of AbbVie.  For purposes of Section 10.3, AbbVie shall be deemed to be the disclosing Party with respect to Product Information under Section 10.3 and Licensor shall be deemed to be the receiving Party with respect thereto.  For further clarification, (i) without limiting this Section 10.1, to the extent Product Information is disclosed by Licensor to AbbVie pursuant to this Agreement, such information shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 10, also constitute Confidential Information of Licensor with respect to the use and disclosure of such Information by AbbVie, but (ii) the disclosure by Licensor to AbbVie of Product Information shall not cause such information to cease to be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.1 with respect to the use and disclosure of such Confidential Information by Licensor. In the event this Agreement is terminated in its entirety or with respect to the Terminated Territory or Terminated Target, this Section 10.1 shall have no continuing force or effect with respect to the use or disclosure of such information solely in connection with the Exploitation of the Discovery PDC or Licensed Product for the benefit of the Terminated Territory or Terminated Target, as applicable, but the Product Information, to the extent Controlled and disclosed by AbbVie to Licensor hereunder, shall continue to be Confidential Information of AbbVie, subject to the terms of Sections 10.2, 10.3, and 10.5 for purposes of the surviving provisions of this Agreement.

- 50 -

or agent has not intentionally memorized such Confidential Information for use outside this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the receiving Party can demonstrate by documentation or other competent proof, the confidentiality and non-use obligations under this Section 10.2 with respect to any Confidential Information shall not include any information that:

10.2.5 have been independently developed by or for the receiving Party without reference to, or use or disclosure of, the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information;

Specific aspects or details of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party merely because the Confidential Information is embraced by more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.  Further, any combination of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party merely because individual elements of such Confidential Information are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party unless the combination and its principles are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.

10.3 Permitted Disclosures.   Each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is:

In the event that no protective order or other remedy is obtained, or the disclosing Party waives compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the receiving Party shall furnish only

- 51 -

that portion of  Confidential Information which the receiving Party is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed;

ARTICLE 12 Indemnity  

12.1 Indemnification of Licensor.   AbbVie shall indemnify Licensor, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “Licensor Indemnitees”) and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any and all suits, investigations, claims, or demands of Third Parties (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) incurred by or rendered against the Licensor Indemnitees arising from or occurring as a result of:

[***].

12.2 Indemnification of AbbVie.   Licensor shall indemnify AbbVie, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “AbbVie Indemnitees”), and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses in connection with any and all Third Party Claims incurred by or rendered against the AbbVie Indemnitees arising from or occurring as a result of:

[***].

12.3 Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims in respect of a Party, its Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall be made solely by such Party to this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”).  The Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under this ARTICLE 12, but in no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice.  Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time).  The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims.  

12.4 Control of Defense.

12.4.1 In General.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.4, 8.5 and 8.7, at its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice.  The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.  Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party.  In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in

- 60 -

connection with the Third Party Claim.  Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 12.4.2, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim unless specifically requested in writing by the indemnifying Party.  In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.  

12.4.2 Right to Participate in Defense.  Without limiting Section 12.4.1, any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (a) the employment thereof, and the assumption by the indemnifying Party of such expense, has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing, (b) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 12.4.1 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (c) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.  

12.4.3 Settlement.  With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that shall not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief, and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate.  With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 12.4.1, the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss.  If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim.  Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or dispose of, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party.  The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the written consent of the indemnifying Party.

12.4.4 Cooperation.  Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.  Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the

- 61 -

indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. 

12.4.5 Expenses.  Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim shall be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis in arrears by the indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

12.5 Special, Indirect, and Other Losses.   EXCEPT (A) FOR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (B) FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 10 OR SECTION 6.8 OR SECTION 6.10, (C) AS PROVIDED UNDER SECTION 14.7.7, AND (D) TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY PROVIDES INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 12, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE USE OF THE DISCOVERY PDC OR LICENSED PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

12.6 Insurance.   Each Party shall obtain and carry in full force and effect the minimum insurance requirements set forth herein.  Such insurance (a) shall be primary insurance with respect to AbbVie’s own participation under this Agreement, (b) shall be issued by a recognized insurer rated by [***] (or its equivalent) or better, or an insurer pre-approved in writing by Licensor and (c) shall require [***] written notice to be given to the other Party prior to any cancellation, non-renewal or material change thereof.

12.6.1 Types and Minimum Limits.  The types of insurance, and minimum limits shall be:

- 62 -

(c) General Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of [***] per occurrence and [***] in the aggregate.  General Liability Insurance shall include, at a minimum, Professional Liability, and, solely with respect to AbbVie (i) Clinical Trial Insurance and, (ii) beginning at least [***] prior to First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product, product liability insurance. 

12.6.2 Certificates of Insurance.  Upon request by a Party, the other Party shall provide Certificates of Insurance evidencing compliance with this Section.  The insurance policies shall be under an occurrence form, but if only a claims-made form is available to a Party, then such Party shall continue to maintain such insurance after the expiration or termination of this Agreement for the longer of (a) a period of [***] following termination or expiration of this Agreement in its entirety, or (b) with respect to a particular Party, last sale of a Licensed Product (or but for expiration or termination, would be considered a Licensed Product) sold under this Agreement by a Party.

12.6.3 Self-Insurance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, AbbVie may self-insure, in whole or in part, the insurance requirements described above; provided, that AbbVie continues to be investment grade determined by reputable and accepted financial rating agencies.

13.2.2 Material Breach Related to Diligence in a Major Market.  Notwithstanding Section 13.2.1, if the material breach and failure to cure contemplated by Section 13.2.1 is with respect to AbbVie’s Commercialization diligence obligations under Section 5.2 with respect to any Major Market, Licensor shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, but shall have the right to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to such Major Market.    

13.2.3 Material Breach Related to an Accepted Target.

13.3 Additional Termination Rights by AbbVie.

13.3.1 For Cause.  AbbVie may terminate this Agreement in its entirety or on an Accepted Target-by-Accepted Target basis effective immediately upon written notice to Licensor in the event that AbbVie in good faith believes (a) a Discovery PDC Failure has occurred or (b) it is not advisable for AbbVie to continue to Develop or Commercialize the Discovery PDCs or Licensed Products as a result of a perceived serious safety issue regarding the use of any Licensed Product.

13.3.2 Termination for Convenience by AbbVie.   At any time after the [***] of the Effective Date, AbbVie may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or on a country or other jurisdiction -by-country or other jurisdiction basis, or on an Accepted Target-by-Accepted Target basis for any or no reason, upon [***] prior written notice to Licensor.

13.7 Termination of Terminated Territory. In the event of a termination of this Agreement with respect to a country or other jurisdiction by AbbVie pursuant to Section 13.3.2 or with respect to a Terminated Territory by Licensor pursuant to Section 13.2.2 (but not in the case of any termination of this Agreement in its entirety) all rights and licenses granted by Licensor hereunder (a) shall automatically be deemed to be amended to exclude, if applicable, the right to market, promote, detail, distribute, import, sell, offer for sale, file any Drug Approval Application for, or seek any Regulatory Approval for Discovery PDCs or Licensed Products in such Terminated Territory, and (b) shall otherwise survive and continue in effect in such Terminated Territory solely for the purpose of furthering any Commercialization of the Discovery PDCs or Licensed Products in the Territory or any Development or Manufacturing in support thereof.

13.8 Termination of Accepted Target.   In the event of a termination of this Agreement with respect to one Accepted Target (the “Terminated Target”) pursuant to Section 13.2.3  or 13.3 (but not in the case of any termination of this Agreement in its entirety) then:

13.8.1 all rights and licenses granted by Licensor hereunder shall automatically be deemed to be amended to exclude the Terminated Target but shall otherwise survive and continue in effect for any remaining Accepted Target;

- 66 -

jurisdiction(s) or with respect to a Terminated Target) in accordance with the provisions hereof shall not limit remedies that may otherwise be available in law or equity. 

13.10 Accrued Rights; Surviving Obligations.

13.10.1 Termination or expiration of this Agreement (either in its entirety or with respect to one (1) or more country(ies) or other jurisdiction(s) or with respect to a Terminated Target) for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of a Party prior to such termination or expiration.  Such termination or expiration shall not relieve a Party from obligations that are expressly indicated to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, the last sentence of Section 2.2, Sections 2.3.2, 3.6, 4.6, 4.8.1(b), 4.8.2, and Sections 4.10 and 6.10 (in accordance with the time periods set forth therein), Sections 7.8 through 7.15, Sections 8.1.1 through 8.1.4 (with respect to any writing, conception, discovery, development or making that occurred prior to expiration or termination of this Agreement), Sections 12.1 through 12.5, Sections 13.5  and 13.10, subparagraph (iii) of Section 14.2.2, Sections 14.3, 14.5 through 14.12, 14.14, 14.17 and 14.18 and ARTICLE 1 and ARTICLE 10 (other than Section 10.5) shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Sections 13.6 and 13.9 shall survive termination of this Agreement but not expiration, and Sections 13.1.1 and Sections 6.1 and 6.3 shall survive expiration of this Agreement but not termination.  If this Agreement is terminated with respect to the Terminated Territory or a Terminated Target but not in its entirety, then following such termination the foregoing provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the Terminated Territory or Terminated Target, as applicable (to the extent they would survive and apply in the event the Agreement expires or is terminated in its entirety), and all provisions not surviving in accordance with the foregoing shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement with respect to the Terminated Territory or Terminated Target, as applicable, and be of no further force and effect (and, for purposes of clarity, all provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to all countries in the Territory other than the Terminated Territory or with respect to the Accepted Target other than the Terminated Target).

13.10.2 Notwithstanding the termination of AbbVie’s licenses and other rights under this Agreement or with respect to a particular Major Market or country or other jurisdiction or with respect to a Terminated Target, as the case may be, AbbVie shall have the right for [***] after the effective date of such termination with respect to each Major Market or country or other jurisdiction or Terminated Target with respect to which such termination applies to sell or otherwise dispose of all Discovery PDCs or Licensed Product then in its inventory and any in-progress inventory, in each case that is intended for sale or disposition in such Major Market or country or other jurisdiction or, in the case of a Terminated Target, in the Territory, as though this Agreement had not terminated with respect to such Major Market or country or other jurisdiction or Terminated Target, as applicable, and such sale or disposition shall not constitute infringement of Licensor’s or its Affiliates’ Patent or other intellectual property or other proprietary rights.  For purposes of clarity, AbbVie shall continue to make payments thereon as provided in ARTICLE 7 (as if this Agreement had not terminated with respect to such Major Market or country or other jurisdiction or Terminated Target, as applicable).  

- 67 -

ARTICLE 14 Miscellaneous  

14.1 Force Majeure.   Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from events beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorist acts, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbances (whether involving the workforce of the non-performing Party or of any other Person), acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority (except to the extent such delay results from the breach by the non-performing Party or any of its Affiliates of any term or condition of this Agreement).  The non-performing Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure within [***] after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect.  The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform.

14.2.2 [***]

14.3 Export Control.   This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export of products or technical information from the United States or other countries that may be imposed on the Parties from time to time.  Each Party agrees that it will not export, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a location or in a manner that at the time of export requires an export license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other governmental entity in accordance with Applicable Law.

14.4 Assignment.   

14.4.1 Without the prior written consent of the other Party, neither Party shall sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder; provided, that (i) either Party may make such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to its Affiliate or to a successor, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or any other transaction, of all or substantially all of the business to which this Agreement relates; and [***].  With respect to an assignment to an Affiliate, the assigning Party shall remain responsible for the performance by such Affiliate of the rights and obligations hereunder.  Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 14.4 shall be void and of no effect.  All validly assigned and delegated rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns of Licensor or AbbVie, as the case may be.  The permitted assignee or transferee shall

- 68 -

assume all obligations of its assignor or transferor under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the grant of rights set forth in this Agreement shall be binding upon any successor or permitted assignee of Licensor, and the obligations of AbbVie, including the payment obligations, shall run in favor of any such successor or permitted assignee of Licensor’s benefits under this Agreement.   

14.4.2 [***]

14.4.3 [***]

14.4.4 As used in this Section 14.4, “assignee” means the Third Party involved in the Change in Control transaction, and any Affiliate of such Third Party that was not an Affiliate of the Acquired Party immediately prior to the Change in Control; and “Acquired Party” means the Party that was the subject of such Change in Control, together with any entity that was its Affiliate immediately prior to the Change in Control.

14.5 Severability.   If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid, and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the Parties.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of law that would render any provision hereof illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect.

14.6 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Service.

14.6.1 Governing Law.  This Agreement or the performance, enforcement, breach or termination hereof shall be interpreted, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction; provided, that all questions concerning (a) inventorship of Patents under this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with Section 8.1.4 and (b) the construction or effect of Patents shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the country or other jurisdiction in which the particular Patent has been filed or granted, as the case may be.  The Parties agree to exclude the application to this Agreement of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

- 69 -

relating to this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith (a “Dispute”), it shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 14.7. 

14.7.1 General.  Any Dispute shall first be referred to the Senior Officers of the Parties, who shall confer in good faith on the resolution of the issue.  Any final decision mutually agreed to by the Senior Officers and documented in a written agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties.  If the Senior Officers are not able to agree on the resolution of any such issue within [***] (or such other period of time as mutually agreed by the Senior Officers) after such issue was first referred to them, then, except as otherwise set forth in Section 14.7.2, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, elect to initiate an alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) proceeding pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 14.7.3 for purposes of having the matter settled.

14.7.2 Intellectual Property Disputes.  In the event that a Dispute arises with respect the validity, scope, enforceability, inventorship or ownership of any Patent, Trademark or other intellectual property rights, and such Dispute cannot be resolved in accordance with Section 14.7.1, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, such Dispute shall not be submitted to an ADR proceeding in accordance with Section 14.7.3 and instead, either Party may initiate litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction, in any country or other jurisdiction in which such rights apply.  

14.7.3 ADR.  Any ADR proceeding under this Agreement shall take place pursuant to the procedures set forth in Schedule 14.7.3.

14.7.4 Expert Arbitration.  Any dispute expressly stated in this Agreement to be resolved pursuant to this Section 14.7.4 shall take place pursuant to the following procedures:

(a) Arbitration Supervision.  The expert arbitration shall be overseen by and conducted as a binding arbitration by a single arbitrator agreed to by both parties in accordance with the procedure set forth in Schedule 14.7.3(2) for the selection of a Neutral, and conducted pursuant to Schedule 14.7.3, sections 3 to 12, except as modified under this Section 14.7.4  The arbitrator may, upon agreement by the Parties, modify the procedures under Schedule 14.7.3, sections 3-12 as appropriate solely to expedite a “baseball” arbitration.  The hearing to resolve each of the issues identified by the parties in the Parties shall be had no later than [***] after selection of the expert panel described in Section 14.7.4(b).  All references to the Neutral in Schedule 14.7.3 shall refer to the expert panel described in Section 14.7.4(b).  

(b) promptly following receipt of any notice requiring dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 14.7.4, the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith and agree on an expert panel to resolve the issue under the supervision of an arbitrator as provided in Section 14.7.4(a), which expert panel shall consist of three (3) members and shall be neutral and independent of both Parties and all of their respective Affiliates, shall have significant experience and expertise in the substantive area in question, and shall have some experience in mediating or arbitrating issues relating to such agreements. If the Parties cannot agree on such expert panel within [***] of request by a Party for arbitration, then each Party shall select one (1) expert for such panel within [***] as from the expiration of the aforementioned [***] period and the two (2) experts selected by the Parties shall select a third

- 70 -

expert for the panel within [***] as from the appointment of the second expert; provided, that all such three (3) experts must meet the foregoing criteria, and further provided that if the Parties’ experts cannot agree as to a third expert, the arbitrator (as described in Section 14.7.4(a)) shall appoint the third expert panel member. Any legal questions referred to the expert panel or raised by the expert panel shall be resolved by the arbitrator.   

14.7.5 Adverse Ruling.  Any determination pursuant to this Section 14.7 that a Party is in material breach of its material obligations hereunder shall specify a (nonexclusive) set of actions to be taken to cure such material breach, if feasible.

14.7.6 Interim Relief.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 14.7 shall preclude either Party from seeking interim or provisional relief, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief concerning a Dispute, if necessary to protect the interests of such Party.  This Section shall be specifically enforceable.

14.7.7 Equitable Relief.  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in Section 6.8, Section 6.10 and ARTICLE 8 and ARTICLE 10 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party and that such other Party would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, and that any breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles may result in irreparable injury to such other Party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Section or Articles, the non-breaching Party shall be authorized and entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising from such breach, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity.  Both Parties agree to waive any requirement that the other (a) post a bond or other security as a condition for obtaining any such relief, and (b) show irreparable harm, balancing of xxxxx, consideration of the public interest, or inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy.  

14.8 Notices.

CytomX and AbbVie Announce Strategic Collaboration for Probody Drug Conjugates

- Companies to Jointly Develop and Commercialize Probody Drug Conjugates Directed Against CD71

- AbbVie to Receive the Right to License Probody Drug Conjugates for up to Two Additional Undisclosed Targets

- CytomX to Receive $30 Million Upfront Payment

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and North Chicago, Ill., April XX, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CytomX Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTMX)  and AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) today announced that they have entered into a collaboration to co-develop and co-commercialize Probody™ Drug Conjugates against CD71, also known as transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1). CD71 is highly expressed in a number of solid and hematologic cancers and has attractive molecular properties for efficient delivery of cytotoxic payloads to tumor cells. Probody therapeutics are designed to take advantage of unique conditions in the tumor microenvironment to enhance the tumor-targeting features of an antibody and reduce drug activity in healthy tissues.

"We believe that the Probody platform provides a differentiated opportunity to combine with our strength in antibody drug conjugates," said Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Ph.D., vice president, oncology drug discovery, AbbVie. "We are encouraged by the promising preclinical data that CytomX has generated for their Probody drug conjugate programs to-date and look forward to working closely with their team. This collaboration will enable us to expand our innovative pipeline in antibody drug conjugates and leverage our strength in that area to previously unexplored targets."

"This collaboration is another important step toward achieving CytomX's vision of transforming lives with safer, more effective therapies and allows us to further advance our broad pipeline of Probody therapeutics," stated Xxxx XxXxxxxx, X.Xxxx., president and chief executive officer at CytomX. "AbbVie has demonstrated leadership in developing antibody drug conjugates and we look forward to collaborating with their team to realize the full potential of our CD71 Probody drug conjugate program and additional oncology targets."  

Probody therapeutics are designed to remain inactive until they are activated by proteases in the tumor microenvironment. As a result, Probody therapeutics bind selectively to tumors and avoid binding to healthy tissue, to minimize toxicity and potentially create safer, more effective therapies.  CytomX has generated preclinical data that demonstrates that Probody drug conjugates can safely and effectively target tumor antigens, such as CD71, that are not addressable by conventional antibody-drug conjugates.

Under the terms of the agreement, CytomX and AbbVie will co-develop a Probody drug conjugate against CD71, with CytomX leading pre-clinical and early clinical development. AbbVie will lead later development and commercialization, with global late-stage development costs shared between the

two companies. CytomX will receive an upfront payment of $30 million and is eligible to receive up to $470 million in development, regulatory and commercial milestones, pending the achievement of pre-determined outcomes.  AbbVie will lead global commercial activities with CytomX eligible to receive a profit share in the U.S. and tiered double-digit royalties on net product sales outside of the U.S.  CytomX retains an option to co-promote in the U.S.  

AbbVie also receives exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize Probody drug conjugates against up to two additional, undisclosed targets.  Should AbbVie ultimately pursue these targets, CytomX is eligible to receive additional milestone and royalty payments per target on any resulting products.

About CytomX Therapeutics

CytomX is an oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company pioneering a novel class of investigational antibody therapeutics based on its Probody technology platform. The company uses the platform to create development-stage proprietary cancer immunotherapies against clinically-validated targets, as well as to develop first-in-class investigational cancer therapeutics against novel targets. CytomX believes that its Probody platform has the potential to improve the combined efficacy and safety profile of monoclonal antibody modalities, including cancer immunotherapies, antibody drug conjugates and T-cell-recruiting bispecific antibodies. Probody therapeutics are designed to take advantage of unique conditions in the tumor microenvironment to enhance the tumor-targeting features of an antibody and reduce drug activity in healthy tissues. Investigational Probody therapeutics are being developed that address clinically-validated cancer targets in immuno-oncology, such as PD-L1, against which clinical candidate CX-072 is directed, as well as novel targets, such as CD166, that are difficult to drug without causing damage to healthy tissues, or toxicities. In addition to its proprietary programs, CytomX is collaborating with strategic partners including AbbVie Inc., Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb Company, Pfizer Inc., MD Xxxxxxxx Cancer Center, and ImmunoGen, Inc.
