PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
2.1. Development by Millennium. Commencing on the Effective Date, Millennium shall be responsible for undertaking a development program aimed at ultimately seeking Regulatory Approval for Licensed Products.
2.2. Co-Funding Option. Sunesis shall have the right, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, to elect to fund a portion of post Phase I Development Costs of a Licensed Product in all countries worldwide other than Japan (the “Initial Territory”); provided, however, that Sunesis shall not have the Co-Funding Option with respect to any Licensed Product directed against a Designated Target for which Sunesis has entered into a Phase II Drug Collaboration. In the event that Sunesis elects to exercise its Co-Funding Option with respect to the Initial Territory for a particular Licensed Product pursuant to the preceding sentence, then Sunesis shall have the right to elect to fund a portion of post Phase I Development Costs of such Licensed Product in Japan, all in accordance with this Section 2.2.
2.2.1 Election. For so long as Sunesis continues to have a Co-Funding Option for a Licensed Product, Millennium shall notify Sunesis [ * ] for each Licensed Product in each of the applicable territories described above in Section 2.2 where the primary endpoint of such trial involves a preliminary determination of efficacy. For clarity, for purposes of this Section 2.2.1, [ * ] for each Licensed Product shall mean [ * ], and elsewhere in this Agreement, [ * ] of a trial (regardless of phase) or clinical study shall mean [ * ]. Such notice shall include the date [ * ]. Sunesis may elect, by so notifying Millennium in writing [ * ] (the “Notice Period”), to participate in funding the further development of such Licensed Product in the applicable territory, as described in this Section 2.2 (such notice, the “Election Notice”). [ * ] and until the end of the Notice Period, Millennium shall cooperate fully with Sunesis, and shall promptly provide Sunesis with access to such material information, to the extent such information is not included in the Initial Development Plan or otherwise has not been communicated previously to Sunesis, as Sunesis may reasonably request to enable Sunesis to make an informed decision whether to exercise its Co-Funding Option under this Section 2.2 with respect to such Licensed Product. Such cooperation shall include consulting with Sunesis in good faith regarding the Initial Development Plan, and the financial, scientific and regulatory assumptions reflected therein. In the event Sunesis exercises its Co-Funding Option with respect to a particular Licensed Product (such Licensed Product, a “Co-Funded Product”), the provisions of Sections 2.2.2 through 2.2.4 below shall apply with respect to such Co-Funded Product in the Co-Funded Territory. The “Co-Funded Territory” shall consist of the Initial Territory for each Co-Funded Product, and in the event Sunesis elects to exercise its Co-Funding Option for Japan with respect to a particular Co-Funded Product, the Co-Funded Territory shall mean all territories worldwide for such Co-Funded Product. In the event that Sunesis elects not to exercise the Co-Funding Option with respect to a Licensed Product or fails to provide an Election Notice within the applicable Notice Period, Sunesis shall no longer have the right to exercise the Co-Funding Option, and Millennium shall have no further obligations under this Section 2.2.1, with respect to such Licensed Product.

2.2.2 JDC. For each Co-Funded Product, the Parties shall establish and maintain a JDC in accordance with Section 4.3 below, which shall be responsible for establishing the plan and budget for the development of each Co-Funded Product (each, a “Co-Development Plan and Budget”) and overseeing the implementation of such plan. Such Co-Development Plan and Budget shall be comprehensive (as of the time of preparation and delivery hereunder) and shall fully describe at least the proposed activities and data related to [ * ], and other activities and timelines directed to obtaining the initial and subsequent Regulatory Approvals in each applicable country. Unless otherwise specified in a Co-Development Plan and Budget amounts reflected for a full year shall be deemed budgeted in equal amounts for each calendar quarter of such year.
2.2.3 Co-Funding Obligation. In the event Sunesis exercises its Co-Funding Option with respect to a Licensed Product, Sunesis shall be obligated to reimburse Millennium for a percentage (the “Co-Funding Percentage”) of post Phase I Development Costs for such Licensed Product, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2. It is understood and agreed that the Co-Funding Percentage shall initially be [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) for each Co-Funded Product. In addition the following shall apply:
(a) The Co-Development Plan and Budget will be updated on a quarterly basis. Millennium shall provide to Sunesis its then current estimates for each upcoming budget year for each Co-Funded Product by November 15 of each year. Promptly following April 1 of each calendar year during the development activities for a particular Co-Funded Product or such other date as is mutually agreed by the Parties, the JDC shall update and amend the Co-Development Plan and Budget for such Co-Funded Product for the period ending March 31 of the subsequent calendar year. Millennium shall provide Sunesis with reasonable opportunity to provide input into each Co-Development Plan and Budget, and, subject to Article 4, Millennium shall reasonably consider Sunesis’s comments in establishing and updating each Co-Development Plan and Budget.
(b) Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Millennium shall provide to Sunesis a statement reflecting the total post Phase I Development Costs incurred by Millennium in accordance with the then-current Co-Development Plan and Budget during such calendar quarter with respect to each Co-Funded Product. Within thirty (30) days after Sunesis’s receipt of such statement, Sunesis shall reimburse Millennium for the applicable Co-Funding Percentage of the post Phase I Development Costs incurred by Millennium during such calendar quarter for such Co-Funded Product.
(c) Upon [ * ] days written notice to Millennium, Sunesis may terminate its Co-Funding Option for a particular Co-Funded Product. In such event, Sunesis’s funding obligation under this Section 2.2.3 above shall apply only with respect to post Phase I Development Costs for activities conducted with respect to such Co-Funded Product prior to the effective date of such termination. Should Sunesis terminate its Co-Funding Option under this Section 2.2.3(c) with respect to a particular Co-Funded Product, (i) any royalties payable to Sunesis on such Co-Funded Product shall be paid in accordance with Section 6.3.1, subject to Section 6.3.2(b), and (ii) Sunesis shall relinquish its right to participate in the JDC pursuant to Section 4.3 and any right to its Co-Promotion Option under Section 3.2 for such Co-Funded Product.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Sunesis experiences a Change in Control, then Sunesis’s Co-Promotion rights under Section 3.2, the right to participate in the JDC under Section 4.3, the right to participate in the JCC under Section 4.4, and any Licensed Product Teams under Section 2.3 shall terminate. In addition:
(i) With respect to any Co-Funded Product for which Sunesis has exercised its Co-Funding Option prior to such Change of Control, Sunesis’s rights and obligations under this Section 2.2.3 shall continue, provided that Millennium shall no longer be obligated to provide the detailed plans required of a Co-Development Plan and Budget to Sunesis (or its successor entity), but shall provide Sunesis (or its successor entity) with annual budgets of post Phase I Development Costs for such Co-Funded Product.
(ii) Sunesis’s Co-Funding Option with respect to future Licensed Products shall continue as well (i.e., with respect to Licensed Products that are not Co-Funded Products as of the date of such Change of Control), provided that Millennium shall no longer be obligated to provide for each Licensed Product the detailed plans and clinical data required of an Initial Development Plan and Phase II Notice. Millennium shall, however, provide Sunesis (or its successor entity) with annual budgets of post Phase I Development Costs for such Co-Funded Product in accordance with the timetable for a Phase II Notice set forth in Section 2.2.1, and shall provide reasonable cooperation to Sunesis (or its successor entity) in evaluating such Licensed Product and the post Phase I Development Costs related thereto, including consulting with Sunesis (or its successor entity) in good faith regarding such annual budgets and the financial, scientific and regulatory assumptions reflected therein.

(c) “post Phase I Development Costs” shall mean, with respect to a particular Co-Funded Product, the Development Costs incurred by Millennium or its Affiliates following Sunesis’s exercise of the Co-Funding Option for such Co-Funded Product in the Co-Funded Territory for such Co-Funded Product. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) post Phase I Development Costs shall not include any Development Costs incurred by Millennium or its Affiliates for any subsequent Phase I trials, and (ii) Development Costs relating to activities directed at obtaining Regulatory Approval in Japan for a Co-Funded Product shall not be considered post Phase I Development Costs to the extent such Development Costs are incurred (A) prior to completion of the Phase I trials for such Co-Funded Product in Japan, or (B) if no Phase I trials are necessary or performed for such Co-Funded Product in Japan, then prior to initiation of any clinical trial other than a Phase I trial.
2.3. Licensed Product Team. Upon identification of a Development Candidate for any Licensed Compound other than BIIB024, the Parties shall form a product team with respect to such Licensed Compound that is a Co-Funded Product (which team shall report to the JDC if Sunesis exercises its Co-Funding Option with respect to such Licensed Compound), comprised of Millennium and Sunesis personnel, that will share all relevant information and implement the further development and regulatory affairs with respect to that Co-Funded Product (each a “Licensed Product Team”) in accordance with the Co-Development Plan and Budget.

The Parties shall maintain any such Licensed Product Team under this Section 2.3 until the Co-Funding Option lapses or is declined with respect to such Licensed Product. For clarity, it is understood that the establishment of a Licensed Product Team hereunder for a Licensed Product directed at the Raf Target shall not obligate Sunesis to subsequently exercise the Co-Funding Option with respect to such Licensed Product. The Licensed Product Team will be composed of three (3) representatives of Millennium (at Millennium’s discretion) and three (3) representatives of Sunesis, who shall be appointed (and may be replaced at any time) by the respective Party on written notice to the other Party in accordance with this Agreement. The Parties may invite additional employee observers based on the subject matter of the meeting, who shall be able to participate in such meetings. The Sunesis representatives shall not be entitled to vote on any Licensed Product Team matters. In any event, the Licensed Product Team shall terminate in the event that Sunesis does not exercise its Co-Funding Option.

9.3.4 Cooperation. If a Party (the “Controlling Party”) brings an action in accordance with this Section 9.3 (an “Infringement Action”), then the other Party (the “Cooperating Party”) shall cooperate as reasonably requested, at such Controlling Party’s expense, in the pursuit of such Infringement Action, including if necessary by joining as a nominal Party to the Infringement Action. In any case, the Cooperating Party shall have the right, even if not required to be joined, to participate in such Infringement Action with its own counsel at its own expense. The costs and expenses of the Infringement Action shall be the responsibility of the Controlling Party, and any damages or other monetary rewards or settlement payments actually received and retained by the Controlling Party shall first be applied to reimburse the Controlling Party’s out-of-pocket expenses directly attributed to the Infringement Action, then the other Party’s out-of-pocket expenses directly attributed to the Infringement Action, then the other Party’s out-of-pocket expenses directly attributed to the Infringement Action, and the remainder shall be shared as follows: [ * ].
9.3.5 PDK Products. In the event a Party becomes aware of any actual or potential infringement or misappropriation of the Millennium Licensed Technology or PDK Technology, such Party shall notify the other Party. Sunesis shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to take legal action to enforce and defend the Millennium Licensed Technology and PDK Technology against infringement by Third Parties at its sole cost and expense.

To the extent that disclosure to any person is authorized by this Agreement, prior to disclosure, a Party shall obtain written agreement of such person to hold in confidence and not disclose, use or grant the use of the Confidential Information of the other Party except as expressly permitted under this Agreement. Each Party shall notify the other Party promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information.
10.2. Permitted Use and Disclosures. The confidentiality obligations under this Article 10 shall not apply to the extent that a Party is required to disclose information by applicable law, regulation or order of a governmental agency or a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that such Party shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party (to the extent not prohibited by law or court order), and consult with the other Party with respect to such disclosure to the extent reasonably protectable and provide the other party reasonable opportunity to object to any such disclosure or to request confidential treatment thereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, either Party may, to the extent necessary, disclose Confidential Information of the other Party, to any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with the development of a product which it has the right to develop under this Agreement.
10.3. Nondisclosure of Terms. Each of the Parties hereto agrees not to disclose the financial terms of this Agreement to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except (a) to such Party’s attorneys, advisors, investors, potential bona fide collaborators and Sublicensees, and others on a need-to-know basis under circumstances that reasonably protect the confidentiality thereof; (b) or to the extent required by law (and with appropriate requests made for confidential treatment), including filings required to made by law with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange; provided, however, that, with respect to any filing required to made by law with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange, the Party subject to such filing requirement shall, at least ten (10) business days in advance of any such filing, provide the other Party with a draft set of redactions to this Agreement for which confidential treatment will be sought, reasonably incorporate the other Party’s comments as to additional terms it would like to see redacted, and seek confidential treatment for such additional terms (except only in the limited circumstances where confidential treatment is in the opinion of outside counsel unavailable); or (c) to Biogen Idec, to the extent required under the Three Party Agreement or Millennium-Biogen Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Sunesis may issue the press release to be mutually agreed by the Parties, and (ii) each Party may disclose the information contained in such press release (and related Securities and Exchange Commission filing) without the consent of the other Party.

10.4.1 By Sunesis. Any manuscript by Sunesis on subject matter in connection with the Research Program relating to the Raf Target or Licensed Compounds to be published or publicly disclosed shall be subject to the prior review of Millennium at least [ * ] prior to submission. Further, to avoid loss of patent rights as a result of premature public disclosure of patentable information, Millennium shall notify Sunesis in writing within [ * ] after receipt of any disclosure whether Millennium desires to file a patent application on any invention disclosed in such scientific results. In the event that Millennium desires to file such a patent application, Sunesis shall withhold publication or disclosure of such scientific results until the earlier of (i) a patent application is filed thereon, (ii) the Parties determine after consultation that no patentable invention exists, or (iii) [ * ] after receipt by Sunesis of Millennium’s written notice of Millennium’s desire to file such patent application. Further, if such scientific results contain the information of Millennium that is subject to use and nondisclosure restrictions under this Article 10, Sunesis agrees to remove such information from the proposed publication or disclosure. For clarity, nothing in this Section 10.4 shall be deemed to limit the publication or disclosure right of Sunesis with respect to a Reverted Licensed Product. Sunesis shall have the right, but not the obligation, to publish or publicly disclose, in its sole discretion, any manuscript containing scientific or clinical results generated during the Term relating to the PDK Target, PDK Compounds or PDK Products, and shall provide Millennium with a courtesy copy of such manuscript prior to its publication.

12.2. Sunesis. Sunesis agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Millennium and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and their respective heirs and assigns from and against any Liabilities resulting from any claims, demands, actions or other proceedings by any Third Party to the extent resulting from: (i) the manufacture, use, sale, handling or storage of Co-Promoted Licensed Products, PDK Products or Reverted Licensed Products by Sunesis or its Affiliates or Sublicensees or other designees, (ii) the breach by Sunesis of its representations and warranties made in this Agreement or the Original Agreement, (iii) [ * ] Sunesis or any of its agents or employees or failure of Sunesis or any of its agents or employees to comply with applicable laws and regulations; except, in each case, to the extent such Liabilities result from a breach of this Agreement by Millennium, [ * ] Millennium or any of its agents or employees (including sales representatives involved in co-promoting any Co-Promoted Licensed Product) or failure of Millennium or any of its employees or agents to

comply with applicable laws or regulations, or (iv) a claim arising after the Amendment Effective Date that the use, manufacture, sale or importation of a PDK Product infringes or violates the intellectual property rights of a Third Party (other than if such infringement or violation results solely from the practice of any PDK Technology in accordance with this Agreement).

The Indemnitee, its employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding covered by this Article 12.
