If a working group has not adopted a charter by the end of such 90-day period, then such matter shall be referred to the relevant subcommittee, and if the relevant subcommittee cannot resolve such matter, the relevant subcommittee shall refer such matter to the EC, and the EC shall promptly meet with the goal of adopting such charter within 30 days of such referral. If a subcommittee has not adopted a charter by the end of such 90-day period, then such matter shall be referred to the EC, and the EC shall promptly meet with the goal of adopting such charter within 30 days of such referral.

If the Non-Advocating Party still believes after such discussion that, based upon reasonable medical or scientific grounds, the Proposed New Indication Study or Separate Indication [ * ], then the Advocating Party may only proceed with such Development activities if [ * ] and the Advocating Party indemnifies the Non-Advocating Party for Losses resulting directly from the Advocating Party’s performance of such Development activities, except to the extent that such Losses result from the negligence of the Non-Advocating Party or actions of claims referred to under Section 21.3 (which are treated thereunder) and provided that the Non-Advocating Party complies with the notice, control of defense and cooperation obligations set forth in Section 27.1; under such circumstance, [ * ]. Such indemnity will not extend to Losses resulting from Bayer’s commercialization of the Approved Product based upon such Development activities. If requested by Onyx, Bayer shall file the Drug Approval Application, and Bayer shall own such Drug Approval Application. For clarity, the Non-Advocating Party’s decision not to co-fund a particular Proposed New Indication Study shall not convert the Approved Product to a Royalty-Bearing Product; the Approved Product’s status as a Collaboration Product and as a Co-Promotion Collaboration Product (pursuant to the Co-Promotion Agreement) shall not be altered in any way by this Section 12.5. Notwithstanding Section 4.3(a), the Advocating Party may grant licenses to Third Parties under its Information and Patents exclusively licensed to the Non-Advocating Party pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 provided that such license is granted to a Third Party that is performing Development activities on the Advocating Party’s behalf with respect to the Approved Product and the applicable Separate Indication and such license is limited to such performance.

(c) If Onyx is the Advocating Party for a particular Separate Indication, Bayer shall have the following obligations with respect to Onyx’s Development of, and procurement of Regulatory Approval for, such Separate Indication:
(i) As set forth in greater detail in this Section 12.5(c)(i), Bayer shall supply primary packed unlabeled Approved Product to Onyx, pursuant to purchase orders placed by Onyx and accepted by Bayer, at a cost equal to the Supply COGS for such Approved Product. Onyx shall provide Bayer with a [ * ] rolling forecast of its anticipated requirements for Approved Product for Development activities for those Separate Indications for which it is the Advocating Party and shall provide Bayer with an updated forecast once per [ * ]. Provided that Onyx’s purchase order for Approved Product does not exceed its forecast for the applicable month by more than [ * ] or require delivery less than [ * ] after the date of such purchase order, Bayer shall be deemed to have accepted such purchase order. All other Onyx purchase orders shall be deemed accepted by Bayer if Bayer does not reject such purchase order within [ * ] after the date of such purchase order. Bayer shall deliver to Onyx, FCA (Incoterms 2010) from its storage facility nearest to Onyx, on the delivery date specified in the applicable accepted purchase order, the quantity of Approved Product set forth in such purchase order, together with a Certificate of Analysis for such Approved Product. Onyx will arrange for and be responsible for the cost of all freight, insurance charges, taxes, import and export duties, inspection fees and other charges applicable to the transport of Approved Product delivered by Bayer hereunder. Bayer represents, warrants and covenants to Onyx that the Approved Product delivered to Onyx pursuant to this Section 12.5(c)(i): (A) will, at the time of delivery, conform to the Specifications and have a minimum shelf-life of [ * ], (B) will remain in compliance with the Specifications throughout its shelf-life, provided that it is stored in strict compliance with the applicable long term storage conditions, and it is not tampered with, damaged, modified, mishandled or used in a manner other than as intended, and (C) will have been manufactured by Bayer in conformity with GMPs and will not be Adulterated or Misbranded. If Bayer breaches the representation, warranty and covenant set forth in the previous sentence (the “Product Warranty”) with respect to any quantity of Approved Product, then Onyx shall not be obligated to pay for such quantity of Approved Product and Bayer shall, at Onyx’s request, promptly replace (at no additional cost to Onyx if Onyx paid Bayer’s invoice with respect to the non-conforming Approved Product) such quantity of non-conforming Approved Product with the same quantity of Approved Product that does conform with the Product Warranty. [ * ] Bayer shall provide Onyx, no earlier than the applicable delivery date for such Approved Product, with an invoice for Approved Product delivered by Bayer pursuant to this Section 12.5(c)(i); such invoice shall set forth an amount equal to the Supply COGS multiplied by the number of tablets of Approved Product included in such delivery. Provided that the Approved Product conforms to the Product Warranty, Onyx shall pay such invoice within [ * ] of its receipt of such invoice. Promptly after the Effective Date of the Fourth Amendment, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a mutually agreed quality agreement with respect to Bayer’s supply of Approved Product pursuant to this Section 12.5(c)(i). Such quality agreement shall contain standard, commercially reasonable terms and conditions for agreements of such type, including rights for
14.
[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Onyx to review Bayer’s manufacturing records. Bayer shall supply to Onyx placebo matched to the Approved Product pursuant to terms and conditions similar to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section.
(ii) At the request and sole cost and expense of Onyx, Bayer shall facilitate Onyx’s performance of Development activities with respect to the applicable Separate Indication and Onyx’s preparation of a Drug Approval Application with respect to such Separate Indication, as reasonably necessary to materially facilitate Onyx’s performance and preparation. Such facilitation shall include providing Onyx with access to, and rights of reference to, Bayer’s regulatory filings and approvals of the Approved Product on a worldwide basis. Bayer shall also provide Onyx with timely, complete and accurate CMC Information for inclusion in such Drug Approval Application and any other regulatory filings with the FDA or EMA that require manufacturing-related information. At Onyx’s sole cost and expense, Bayer shall apply for and take, as Onyx’s agent, all legal actions requested by Onyx that are necessary to materially facilitate conducting Development with respect to the applicable Separate Indication and for obtaining approval of the Drug Approval Application for the Product in the applicable Separate Indication. Except with respect to materials that, as between the Parties, only Bayer can prepare, Onyx shall prepare for submission by Bayer all materials to be provided to an applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority and such materials shall comply with the legal requirements of such applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority, and in the case of any filing for territories other than the U.S. and the European Union, with Bayer’s written guidelines provided reasonably in advance of Onyx’s commencement of Development activities with respect to such Separate Indication in such territory. At Onyx’s request, and at Onyx’s sole cost and expense, Bayer shall prepare and submit to the applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority all other materials necessary to obtain approval of such Drug Approval Application. Bayer shall own, and hold for the benefit of Onyx, such Drug Approval Application. Bayer will keep Onyx fully informed regarding the status of such Drug Approval Application, including by providing Onyx with copies of all documents filed with, and documents, correspondence and other communications received from, the applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority with respect thereto. Bayer shall provide Onyx with prompt notice of any meeting, teleconference or other interaction with the applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority with respect thereto and shall facilitate Onyx’s participation in such meetings, teleconferences and interactions.
(iii) At Onyx’s request, and at Onyx’s sole cost and expense, Bayer shall (A) provide Onyx with access, through the shared database established pursuant to Section 11.10, to Information in Bayer’s Control that is necessary for Onyx to develop the Approved Product for such Separate Indication and to prepare Drug Approval Application(s) with respect to such Separate Indication, (B) use good faith and Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide
15.
[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Onyx with Information in Bayer’s Control that would materially facilitate Onyx’s development of the Approved Product for such Separate Indication, including Information about preferred formulations, and preparation of Drug Approval Application(s) with respect to such Separate Indication, including copies of correspondence with the FDA, EMA and other regulatory authorities and (C) introduce Onyx to, and materially facilitate Onyx’s interactions with, key opinion leaders, potential clinical trial principal investigators, representatives of patient advocacy groups, vendors of development services, and persons responsible for granting pricing approvals or making reimbursement or formulary decisions, in each case only for external contacts with whom Bayer has a relationship with respect to the Approved Product. The foregoing Information delivery obligations shall include making available Bayer personnel during normal business hours for reasonable time periods for consultation by Onyx either by telephone or email or at Bayer facilities (without a travel obligation on the part of Bayer).
(d) The Advocating Party shall comply with the Information sharing obligations set forth in this Agreement (including Sections 11.10 and 17.1) and the Co-Promotion Agreement (including Section 7.3) and the Pharmacovigilance Agreement with respect to non-public Information arising from activities performed pursuant to this Section 12.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 11.11), Co-Promotion Agreement or Pharmacovigilance Agreement, if the Non-Advocating Party uses (other than for internal use) any Information disclosed by the Advocating Party with respect to such Separate Indication or includes any such Information in any filings or communications with the FDA, EMA or other regulatory authorities, the Non-Advocating Party shall pay the Advocating Party’s Separate Development Costs with respect to such Separate Indication in accordance with Section 12.5(e); provided, however, that the Non-Advocating Party may file required safety information with the applicable regulatory authorities in accordance with Section 17.1 without paying such Separate Development Costs.
(e) Bayer shall promptly inform Onyx upon the first approval of a Drug Approval Application by the FDA or the EMA with respect to a particular Separate Indication and the Advocating Party shall provide the Non-Advocating Party with an invoice setting forth, in United States Dollars, [ * ] of the Separate Development Costs with respect to such Separate Indication, together with reasonable supporting documentation of such Separate Development Costs, provided that if such first approval was obtained in the United States, the amount of such invoice shall be [ * ] of the Separate Development Costs unless, at the time of the first dosing of a patient in the first clinical trial for such Separate Indication, the United States regulatory regime had changed to require Price Approval prior to the commercial launch of a human pharmaceutical in a new indication (it being agreed that Price Approval is not required in the United States as of the Effective Date of this Fourth Amendment). If such first approval was

[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
either (i) obtained with the EMA or (ii) obtained in the United States and the United States regulatory regime had changed prior to the first dosing of a patient in the first clinical trial for such Separate Indication to require Price Approval, then the Non-Advocating Party shall pay to the Advocating Party an additional [ * ] of the Separate Development Costs with respect to the Separate Indication upon the earlier of (X) Price Approval is obtained in the jurisdiction (European Union or U.S. as the case may be) where the first approval of a Drug Approval Application was obtained or (Y) approval, including Price Approval if required, has been obtained in the other jurisdiction (e.g., if the first approval is obtained with the EMA and, prior to Price Approval in the European Union, approval is obtained in the United States and no Price Approval is then required in the United States). In all cases in which a payment is conditioned upon Price Approval, if Price Approval is required in the European Union, the Non-Advocating Party's obligation to pay [ * ] of the Separate Development Costs shall be conditioned upon Price Approval being granted in [ * ] major countries of the European Union. In the case that Bayer is the Non-Advocating Party, Bayer's obligation to pay Onyx the Separate Development Costs shall, in the case of costs for services provided by Bayer, be [ * ] of the costs representing services provided by Bayer to Onyx. The Non-Advocating Party shall have the right to audit such Separate Development Costs in a manner consistent with Section 17.2. The Non-Advocating Party shall pay to the Advocating Party, in United States Dollars, the amount invoiced within [ * ] after the receipt of the invoice (or each invoice, in the case of multiple payments). Upon such approval, the Parties shall commercialize the Approved Product for the Separate Indication in accordance with Articles 13 and 14 and the Co-Promotion Agreement and shall share the Marketing Profit (or Loss) with respect thereto in accordance with Section 16.1 and the Co-Promotion Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bayer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) obtain approval of the Drug Approval Application and Price Approval (if any) of the Approved Product for such Separate Indication in the United States, the major countries of the EU, [ * ] within [ * ] after first receipt of approval of the Drug Approval Application of the Approved Product for such Separate Indication from the FDA or EMA (as the case may be), and (ii) launch the Approved Product for such Separate Indication in all markets in which approval of the Drug Approval Application of the Approved Product for such Separate Indication is obtained within a time period that is consistent with similar product approvals (including Price Approval) and launches in such markets. In the event Onyx disputes whether Bayer has exercised Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain Price Approval in a given territory, Onyx may refer such dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 25.1 and, in the event it is determined that Bayer failed to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain Price Approval, Onyx shall be entitled to receive the additional payment as if Price Approval had been obtained.
(f) The Advocating Party shall own the entire, right, title and interest in and to any all Information (including data), whether or not patentable, that is
17.
[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
generated, discovered, developed, identified, made or conceived by or on behalf of the Advocating Party or its Affiliates or their respective employees, agents or contractors in the course of conducting any Development of a Separate Indication, together with all Patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights therein (collectively, “Separately Developed IP”). The Advocating Party shall have the right to use, transfer, sell, license, pledge and otherwise exploit its Separately Developed IP for any purpose subject to the license granted in Section 4.2. For purposes of this Section 12.5, “Product-Specific Invention” means any invention within a Party’s Separately Developed IP, the practice of which necessarily includes the Collaboration Product, including composition of matter or method of treatment claims. The rights and obligations set forth in Section 12.5(g), rather than the rights and obligations set forth in Article 20, shall apply to all Separately Developed IP.
(g) The Advocating Party shall disclose to the IPC all Separately Developed IP of such Advocating Party that it believes to be patentable. The IPC shall discuss the most advantageous procedures for obtaining patent protection for each such Separately Developed IP. The Parties shall comply with all such procedures agreed upon by the IPC. In the event that the IPC does not agree upon such procedures within [ * ] after the Advocating Party’s disclosure of a particular Separately Developed IP, the Advocating Party has the first right to prepare, file, prosecute (including any reissues, re-examinations, post-grant proceedings, requests for patent term extensions, supplementary protection certificates, interferences, and defense of oppositions) and maintain any Patent directed to such Separately Developed IP worldwide, at its own expense. If the Advocating Party determines that it will not file, in even one country any Patents directed to a Product-Specific Invention, it shall notify the Non-Advocating Party in writing sufficiently in advance so the Non-Advocating Party may, at its cost, assume the responsibility for the filing, in the Non-Advocating Party’s name, prosecution or maintenance of Patents directed to such Product-Specific Invention. (For clarity, the Non-Advocating Party’s rights in this sentence will not apply to the situation where Advocating Party determines to file in one or more countries, but not in other countries.) At the Non-Advocating Party’s request and cost, the Advocating Party will execute any documents necessary to effectuate transfer of title to the Patents directed to such Product-Specific Invention, and will promptly transfer to Non-Advocating Party all documents and information necessary to file, prosecute, maintain, and enforce such Patent(s) and patent application(s). The Non-Advocating Party hereby grants to the Advocating Party, effective upon such transfer of title, a non-exclusive, fully paid, perpetual, irrevocable, non-transferrable (except for permitted assignment under Section 28.1) worldwide license to practice such transferred Product-Specific Invention. If the Advocating Party declines to file in a particular country a Patent directed to a Product-Specific Invention for which the Advocating Party is pursing patent protection in one or more other countries or if the Advocating Party decides to cease the prosecution or maintenance of such a Patent in a particular country, it shall notify the Non-

Advocating Party in writing sufficiently in advance so the Non-Advocating Party may, at its cost, assume the responsibility for the filing, in the Advocating Party’s name, prosecution or maintenance of Patents directed to such Product-Specific Invention. In the case of other inventions within the Separately Developed IP (that are not Product-Specific Inventions), Advocating Party will disclose the invention to the IP committee, as discussed above, but the Non-Advocating Party will have no right to file, prosecute or obtain assignment of any Patent to any such inventions.
(h) In the event that one Party (the “Terminating Party”) decides that it wishes to end its participation in or funding of a clinical trial being co-funded pursuant to the Co-Development Plan, it shall notify the other Party (the “Non-Terminating Party”) in writing, the date of such written notice being the “Termination Date”. If the Non-Terminating Party notifies the Terminating Party within [ * ] thereafter that it wishes to continue such trial without the Terminating Party, then the Parties will decide upon a reasonable plan for transitioning on-going trial-related activities to the Non-Terminating Party while minimizing disruption and delay, and the post-Termination Date conduct of such trial by or on behalf of the Non-Terminating Party shall be subject to the rights and obligations set forth in this Section 12.5 as if the Non-Terminating Party were the Advocating Party and the post-Termination Date conduct of such trial were Development of a Separate Indication. For clarity, the Non-Terminating Party’s right to reimbursement pursuant to Section 12.5(e) shall be solely with respect to Separate Development Costs incurred by the Non-Terminating Party after the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, [ * ] shall not [ * ] or [ * ], unless the [ * ] that it is [ * ].
(i) In the event that the Non-Terminating Party continues a trial without the Terminating Party as set forth in subsection (h) above, then the Terminating Party shall reimburse the Non-Terminating Party for [ * ] of the Co-Development Costs incurred by the Non-Terminating Party (not including amounts previously reimbursed by the Terminating Party pursuant to Section 11.7) prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that the Terminating Party shall not be obligated to pay such Co-Development Costs if the Terminating Party determines, using good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, that [ * ]. If the Non-Terminating Party disputes whether [ * ], the Non-Terminating Party may refer such dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 25.1(b), to resolve whether such risks or issues existed and whether the Terminating Party owes the Non-Terminating Party [ * ] of the Co-Development Costs incurred by the Non-Terminating Party.
12. Nexavar Royalties for Sales in Japan.
(a) | Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date of the Fourth Amendment, Bayer shall pay one hundred and sixty million United States dollars (US$160,000,000) to Onyx. Such payment shall be nonrefundable and noncreditable. |
19.
[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(b) | On or before each of the following dates, Bayer shall make a nonrefundable, noncreditable payment to Onyx of up to five million United States dollars (US$5,000,000), which amount shall be determined as described in this subsection (b): (i) ninety (90) days after the earlier of (1) the first date after the Effective Date of the Fourth Amendment on which the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare issues a decision regarding the reimbursement price for sorafenib in Japan or (2) December 31, 2011, (ii) the first anniversary of the date described in the previous subsection (i), and (iii) the second anniversary of the date described in the previous subsection (i). Bayer shall provide Onyx with prompt written notice of any decision regarding the reimbursement price for sorafenib issued by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, after the Effective Date of the Fourth Amendment and on or before the second anniversary of the date of such decision; such notice shall provide a copy of such decision and, to the extent not specified in such decision, the date of implementation of the new reimbursement price specified in such decision. The amount of each payment made pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be based upon the percentage decrease, if any, between the reimbursement price for sorafenib in effect in Japan as of the Effective Date of the Fourth Amendment, as established by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (the “Original Price”) and the reimbursement price for sorafenib in effect in Japan on the due date of such payment, as established by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (such price, the “Current Price”). If the Current Price as of the applicable payment date is the same as or more than the Original Price, then Bayer shall pay five million United States dollars (US$5,000,000) to Onyx on such payment date. If the Current Price as of the applicable payment date is [ * ] or less of the Original Price, then no payment shall be due on the applicable payment date. If the Current Price as of the applicable payment date is less than the Original Price but more than [ * ] of the Original Price, then Bayer shall pay to Onyx on such payment date, an amount equal to five million United States dollars (US$5,000,000) minus [ * ] for each full one percent (1%) by which the Current Price has decreased from the Original Price and by a pro-rated amount thereof for each decrease of less than one percent (1%). For example, if there was a price decrease of [ * ] percent prior to the first payment date, Bayer would make a payment to Onyx under this Section 12(b)(i) of [ * ], plus two subsequent payments on the next two anniversaries of such initial payment. However if there is an additional price decrease of [ * ] percent any time prior to the next payment then the subsequent payments to Onyx would be reduced by [ * ]. |

(c) | In consideration of (i) the amounts paid by Bayer pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above and (ii) the other modifications to the Collaboration Agreement, effective upon Onyx’s receipt of the payment set forth in subsection (a) and contingent upon Onyx’s timely receipt of the payments set forth in subsection (b), Section 16.2(b) of the Collaboration Agreement is amended to insert the following new sentence at the end of such Section 16.2(b): |
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bayer shall not have any obligation to make any royalty payments to Onyx pursuant to this Section 16.2(b) on account of any Net Sales received by Bayer or its Affiliates or sublicensees on or after January 1, 2012 for the sales of sorafenib solely for use in Japan.”
13. Alignment of Sales Representatives and MSLs. The Parties agree that, unless otherwise agreed by the EC, each Co-Promotion Program approved after the Effective date of the Fourth Amendment shall assign each Party’s sales representatives and MSLs solely to the territories covered by such Party.
14. Amendment to Section 17.2. Section 17.2 of the Collaboration Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
17.2 Records. Each Party shall keep or cause to be kept such records as are required to determine (a) in a manner consistent with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States the sums or credits due under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Allowable Expenses, Co-Development Costs, sales of Royalty-Bearing Products, Cost of Goods Sold, and Collaboration Revenues and (b) amounts to be listed in tax returns required to be filed by the Tax Partnership and the methods by which such amounts were calculated by the TMP (including assessments of different tax treatments and the risks and benefits associated therewith and the basis for choosing a particular tax treatment). Bayer, as the TMP, shall also keep records of all correspondence received from, or documents filed with, any tax authority with respect to the Tax Partnership. At the request (and expense) of either Party, the other Party and its sublicensees shall permit the requesting Party or an independent certified public accountant appointed by such Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party, at reasonable times during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable notice, to examine those records as may be necessary or reasonably useful to:
(i) determine, with respect to any calendar year ending not more than three years prior to such Party’s request (but only once for each calendar year), the correctness of any report or payment made under this Agreement;

(iii) obtain information as to the royalty payable for any calendar year.
For clarity, the Party being audited shall promptly provide reasonable access to records reasonably requested by the auditing Party for the purposes described in (i)-(iii) above, including records in sufficient detail to determine the appropriate allocation of FTEs and other costs charged to the collaboration.
Any such examination shall be subject to Article 22. Results of any such examination shall be made available to both Parties. The Party requesting the audit shall bear the full cost of the performance of any such audit, unless such audit discloses a variance of more than five percent (5%) from the amount of the original report, royalty or payment calculation. In such case, the Party being audited shall bear the full cost of the performance of such audit.
This Section 17.2, as revised by the Fourth Amendment, shall apply to all audits for the 2010 calendar year and all subsequent years. The JFC shall agree upon procedures for conducting audits that are compatible with applicable law. The Parties agree to discontinue any audits ongoing as of the Effective Date of the Fourth Amendment with respect to amounts paid pursuant to Section 11.7 with respect to Co-Development Costs incurred in 2008 or 2009, and the only amounts owed on account of such audits are as set forth in Section 15 of this Fourth Amendment.
15. Audit Payment. Onyx’s audit of amounts paid by Bayer pursuant to Section 16.1 of the Collaboration Agreement with respect to 2008 revealed [ * ]. [ * ] shall pay such amount to [ * ] within three (3) business days after the Effective Date of the Fourth Amendment.
16. Amendment to Section 23.3(b). Section 23.3(b) of the Collaboration Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
(b) TMP shall prepare and submit drafts of all Tax Partnership returns to the Parties as soon as reasonably practical in advance of the due date, but not less than 30 days in advance of the due date, to permit review by the Parties prior to filing. If a Party disagrees with the proposed treatment of an item on the return prepared by the TMP, the Parties shall promptly seek to resolve the disagreement through good faith discussions. If the dispute cannot be so resolved, the Parties shall engage the services of a mutually agreeable nationally recognized law or accounting firm to resolve the matter. The firm’s decision on such matter shall be binding on the Parties. Such firm’s fee shall be borne equally by the Parties. If the dispute has not been resolved by the due date of the particular return, the TMP shall timely file the particular return and the content of the return as filed shall be determined by the TMP in its sole discretion. Upon resolution of the dispute

between the Parties, if such resolution provides for the reporting of any item which is inconsistent with the manner in which such item was reported on the return as filed by the TMP, the TMP shall prepare and file an amended return using the agreed basis of reporting. TMP may file such requests for extensions of time to file any returns as it deems appropriate.
17. Deletion of Section 24.4. Section 24.4 of the Collaboration Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with “{This Section has been intentionally deleted.}” All references to Section 24.4 in the Collaboration Agreement and Co-Promotion Agreement (including the reference in Section 10.4 of the Co-Promotion Agreement) are hereby deleted.
18. Amendment to Section 25.1. Section 25.1 of the Collaboration Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
25.1 Disputes.
(a) The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the term of this Agreement which relate to either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. The Parties shall follow the procedures set forth in this Article 25 to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and to attempt to avoid arbitration between the Parties. Any disputes among the members of the EC, or other disputes among the Parties, that cannot be resolved by good faith negotiation within thirty (30) days after referral thereto, shall be referred, by written notice from either Party to the other, to the ASC. The ASC shall meet as soon as possible, and not more than thirty (30) days after such notice is received, and shall make diligent, good faith efforts to resolve such dispute in a manner that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the principles underlying such terms and that balances the legitimate interests of both Parties.
(b) In the event that the members of the ASC are not able to resolve such dispute during such meeting, the ASC shall meet in person at least one more time during the 60-day period after such notice is received, and if the ASC has not resolved such dispute by the end of such 60-day period (or any mutually agreed extension thereof), either Party may submit such dispute (including whether a dispute is subject to arbitration) to an arbitration proceeding to be conducted in San Francisco, California before a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators, which shall be selected as follows within thirty (30) days from the request for arbitration: Bayer shall select one arbitrator, Onyx shall select one arbitrator, and Bayer and Onyx shall seek to agree on the selection of the third arbitrator; provided that if Bayer and Onyx fail to agree on such third arbitrator within such thirty (30)-day period, then the arbitrators designated by Onyx and Bayer shall select the third arbitrator within fifteen (15) days. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures, except that
23.
[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
the Parties expressly agree that any arbitration pursuant to this paragraph shall be a “baseball-style” arbitration governed by Rule 33 of the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (effective October 1, 2010). Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with a dispute brought under this Section 25.1, provided that Bayer and Onyx shall share equally in the costs of the arbitration panel and any fee imposed by JAMS. Notwithstanding any Rule to the contrary, the Parties expressly agree to the following discovery procedures for any arbitration initiated pursuant to this paragraph: the Parties shall be entitled to take discovery within the scope provided for in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures. With respect to limits on the type and amount of discovery, each Party shall be entitled to [ * ]. The arbitrator may allow discovery beyond these limits upon a showing a good cause.
(c) Without modifying the agreement set forth in Section 25.1(b), the Parties intend that in the event of an operational dispute under this Agreement, the Parties shall seek to resolve their differences through an expedited determination by a neutral expert who has no affiliation whatsoever with either Party.

23. Certain Financial and Accounting Matters. Effective as of [ * ], the Parties have agreed to the following with regard to the application of Cost of Goods Sold, Distribution Costs, Allowable Co-Promotion Expenses and Co-Promotion Overheads:
(a) Section 1.13 (the definition of “Cost of Goods Sold”) shall be interpreted to include the following methodology for the calculation of Cost of Goods Sold effective for all Cost of Goods Sold incurred by Bayer from and after [ * ] with respect to the Approved Product:
(i) Rest of World Cost of Goods Sold (“ROW COGS”) represents Cost of Goods for the Approved Product outside the United States as calculated by Bayer’s cost accounting systems. The “standard unit cost of Collaboration Products in final therapeutic form”, as defined in Section 1.13, shall include for ROW COGS such costs as handling, freight, insurance, customs duty, and other such charges required to transport the Approved Product from its final manufacturing location to the countries where it is sold. (Transportation within countries is a component of Distribution Costs, as described below.) ROW COGS as a component of Allowable Expenses (as defined in Section 1.5) will be [ * ]. The ROW COGS [ * ] will be [ * ], based on [ * ]. By way of example, [ * ] will be [ * ].
(ii) US Cost of Goods Sold (“US COGS”) as defined in Article I of the Co-Promotion Agreement shall be determined using the following methodology effective from and after [ * ]:
(A) [ * ].
(B) “US COGS” will be fixed at be [ * ] per tablet for the calendar year beginning [ * ], with no retrospective change to US COGS for calendar year [ * ]. Such per-tablet charge shall be adjusted as follows: commencing [ * ] and for each Contract Year thereafter, inflation/deflation variances equal to the corresponding increase or decrease in the United States Producer’s Price Index, Pharmaceutical Preparations Manufacturers (US BLS Ref. #pcu325412325412; xxxx://xxxx.xxx.xxx/xxx-xxx/xxxxxxxxxx), or the equivalent standard, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor from the annual index value most recently available as of the Effective Date of the Fourth Amendment to the annual index value most recently available as of the most recent January (aggregated and applied on a cumulative basis).
(iii) Puerto Rico Cost of Goods Sold in each year will be the same as US COGS, as calculated in accordance with US Co-Promotion Agreement.
(b) Distribution Costs shall include, in addition to the costs described in Section 1.21, costs incurred by Bayer or for its account in connection with the freight, insurance, packaging, and distribution of the Approved Product to a Third Party in ROW countries, which shall be equal to [ * ] of Net Sales of the Approved Product during calendar year [ * ].

(c) Allowable Expenses for the ROW includes “ROW Marketing Costs,” which is defined as costs incurred by Bayer in the marketing, selling, and distribution of the Approved Product in ROW regions. It shall include the ROW P&L reporting categories of:
[ * ]
(d) Overhead costs are not sharable collaboration expenses outside the United States. Examples of such overhead expenses, which are to be paid solely by Bayer, may include, but are not limited to, [ * ].
(e) Allowable Co-promotion Expenses for the United States includes “Sales Force Expense.” The definition of Sales Force Expense in Article I of the Co-Promotion Agreement is hereby amended to include meeting and convention planning to the extent such costs are reasonably allocable to the Approved Product and substantive contemporaneous documentation of the basis for allocation is available.
(f) A general principle on treatment of shared costs is that cost allocations to the Approved Product should be based on a justifiable and supportable allocation methodology. This would apply to cost items such as conventions that support Bayer’s Oncology franchise or pharmaceutical business, or to Marketing Services functions that also support other products or product candidates in the Bayer portfolio. Data supporting cost allocations to an Approved Product are to be documented and retained.
24. Mutual Authority. Bayer and Onyx each represents and warrants to the other that: (a) it has the authority and right to enter into and perform this Fourth Amendment; (b) this Fourth Amendment is a legal and valid obligation binding upon it and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable limitations on such enforcement based on bankruptcy laws and other debtors’ rights; and (c) its execution, delivery and performance of this Fourth Amendment shall not conflict in any material fashion with the terms of any other agreement or instrument to which it is or becomes a Party or by which it is or becomes bound, nor violate any law or regulation of any court, governmental body or administrative or other agency having authority over it.
25. Full Force and Effect of Agreement. The Collaboration Agreement, as modified by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Co-Promotion Agreement and this Fourth Amendment, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties on the subject matter hereof. The Collaboration Agreement, as modified hereby, remains in full force and effect.
