CONFIDENTIAL
Committee may consult with the relevant market-level and/or functional leads of each Party in connection with its review. If there is a dispute on such Committee regarding whether or not such Party Major Market Plan is consistent with the applicable Combined Major Market Plan and such dispute is not resolved within [*] Business Days, the question of such Party Major Market Plan’s consistency with the applicable Combined Major Market Plan shall be referred to the JSC for resolution. If the JSC determines that such Party Major Market Plan is consistent with the applicable Combined Major Market Plan (either as such Party Major Market Plan was presented to the JSC, or with any amendments requested by the JSC in order to make such Party Major Market Plan consistent with the applicable Combined Major Market Plan), the JSC’s determination shall be binding on the Parties without further review by the Committee originally charged with reviewing such Party Major Market Plan; provided, that any subsequent amendment or update to such Party Major Market Plan shall be reviewed by such Committee for consistency, and confirmed by the Committee to be consistent, with the applicable Combined Major Market Plan (subject again to this Section 2.10.5(c)). If the JSC cannot agree on whether a Party Major Market Plan is consistent with the applicable Combined Major Market Plan or determines that a Party Major Market Plan is not consistent with the applicable Combined Major Market Plan (and the JSC cannot agree on amendments to such Party Major Market Plan that would make it consistent with the applicable Combined Major Market Plan), in each case, within [*] Business Days of its referral to the JSC, such matter shall be referred to [*] for resolution. If [*] are unable to resolve the matter within [*] Business Days after the matter is first referred to them, then [*]. Any portion of the proposed Party Major Market Plan and corresponding budget that is not in dispute (i.e., not specifically subject to such dispute resolution process) will go into effect immediately notwithstanding such ongoing dispute resolution proceedings, and the portions of the most recently approved Party Major Market Plan and budget that correspond to the matters in dispute will be deemed to carry forward and apply to subsequent budget periods to the extent practicable, mutatis mutandis, until the resolution of such dispute, so as to minimize any disruption to the ongoing Development, Manufacturing, or Commercialization of the Product.
(d)Disputes at the JSC. Except for matters subject to Section 2.10.5(c), any dispute or disagreement arising on the JSC as to matters within the JSC’s purview or that are submitted to the JSC by another Committee in accordance with this Agreement for attempted resolution that are unable to be resolved within [*] Business Days after the matter is first submitted to the JSC (or such other time period as may be agreed by the JSC) shall be referred to [*] for resolution.

Such safety officers may designate an appropriate advisory group of each Party, as well as obtain any Third Party advice on their decision (with any such Third Parties to be bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those contained in this Agreement). If such safety officers are not able to resolve the dispute on any action referred to them [*], within [*] Business Days of such referral and at least [*] Business Days in advance of any timeframes required by Applicable Law, [*] with respect to such matter to the extent consistent with Applicable Law (including for clarity requirements of a Regulatory Authority).

Upon request by either Party made during such [*] Business Day period, the Parties’ respective Chief Executive Officers (or their delegates mandated with equivalent decision-making authority) shall during such [*] Business Day period discuss any such matter that is material to either Party or the Collaboration. If the JSC does not resolve such matter within [*] Business Days after the matter is first referred to it, then SGI shall have final decision-making authority over the matter(s) in dispute and the contents of the US Coordination Plan, subject only to consistency of the US Coordination Plan with the Combined Major Market Commercialization Plan and/or the Combined Major Market Medical Affairs Plan, as applicable, as required under Section 3.5.1. For clarity, SGI’s final decision-making authority under this Section 3.5.2 shall be final and is not be subject to dispute resolution under Section 2.10.5 or ARTICLE 16, except to the extent Section 2.10.5(c) applies with respect to consistency of the US Commercialization Plan with the Combined Major Market Commercialization Plan and/or the Combined Major Market Medical Affairs Plan, as applicable. During the pendency of any dispute regarding the US Coordination Plan, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will remain in effect and the Parties will continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder in good faith and, to the extent practicable, maintain the status quo and operate under the last approved US Coordination Plan (if applicable) until resolution of the relevant dispute or approval of the US Coordination Plan.

Each Party will prepare a Party Major Market Commercialization Plan for its respective Party Major Market(s) that is consistent with the Combined Major Market Commercialization Plan, which Party Major Market Commercialization Plan covers the same time period addressed by such Combined Major Market Commercialization Plan. The Genmab Major Market Commercialization Plan and the SGI Major Market Commercialization Plan will each describe the plan for Commercialization of the Product in the applicable Party Major Market(s), specify in reasonable detail the Commercialization activities to be performed by or on behalf of the applicable Party for the Product in the applicable Party Major Market(s), and include a budget for such Party’s Commercialization activities to be conducted in its Party Major Market(s). In addition, the SGI Major Market Commercialization Plan will incorporate the Commercialization activities set forth in the US Coordination Plan. Each Party shall prepare its own Party Major Market Commercialization Plan and provide it to the JCC, which shall review such plans for consistency with the Combined Major Market Commercialization Plan (subject to Section 2.10.5(c)). The initial draft of each Party Major Market Commercialization Plan shall be submitted to the JCC within [*] after submission to the JSC of the initial draft of the Combined Major Market Commercialization Plan by the JCC in accordance with Section 4.2.2. The Party Major Market Commercialization Plans shall be updated at least annually, and all updates and amendments shall be reviewed and approved by the JCC for consistency with the Combined Major Market Commercialization Plan (subject to Section 2.10.5(c)).

4.4Commercialization in the Royalty Territory. Following the receipt of relevant Regulatory Approvals in relevant country(ies), SGI shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize the Product in [*], as determined by SGI in its reasonable discretion consistent with its obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize the Product in the Royalty Territory, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of SGI or any of its Affiliates for Commercializing the Product in the Royalty Territory or any portion thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, SGI may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.4 by using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enter into (or entering into) one or more Commercial Sublicenses with respect to one or more countries in the Royalty Territory.
4.5Recalls and Withdrawals. The initiation and implementation of a Product distribution hold, recall, clinical hold, market withdrawal, or similar action in the Territory will be determined in accordance with the relevant clinical or commercial quality agreement agreed to by the Parties in accordance with Section 6.3 (including the process for consultation and, if possible, reaching consensus set forth therein); provided, that the Lead Regulatory Party shall have final decision-making authority, after consultation with the other Party with respect to the initiation and conduct of any such hold, recall, withdrawal, or similar action in a particular country if there is a dispute between the Parties with respect thereto (unless there is a mandatory hold, recall, withdrawal, or similar action by the Regulatory Authorities, which shall supersede any decision of the Lead Regulatory Party to the contrary). The costs of implementing any such hold, recall, withdrawal, or action in accordance with this Section 4.5 in the Major Markets shall constitute Commercialization Costs except to the extent that such hold, recall, withdrawal, or action is (a) attributable to (i) a breach by a Party or its Affiliates of this Agreement or (ii) the gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of a Party or its Affiliates, or (b) caused by or results directly from a material uncured breach by a Party or its Affiliates of any agreement with a Third Party CMO engaged by such Party or its Affiliate for the Manufacture of Product if such material breach is acknowledged by such Party in writing, results from a failure by the Manufacturing Party to make any undisputed payment when due (after giving effect to any available cure period) or is finally determined by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction; provided, that the foregoing clause (b) shall not apply to any such material breach that is caused by or results directly from an act or omission of a Third Party including any other Third Party CMO that Manufactures the Product on the Party’s behalf. Any such costs not included in Commercialization Costs pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be borne solely by the applicable Party.

CONFIDENTIAL
Collaboration Agreement or the Joint Development Plan as of the Effective Date, following the Effective Date: (a) Genmab shall be the sponsor of and solely conduct and be responsible for the performance of (i) the Clinical Trials known as [*], (ii) to the extent such studies are included in the Global Development Plan, any Phase III-B Studies or Phase IV Studies conducted in the Genmab Major Market, (iii) any Genmab Party Combination Studies to be conducted by or on behalf of Genmab, to the extent such studies are included in the Global Development Plan (such Global Development Plan to also set forth the details regarding Clinical Supply and data sharing with respect to such Genmab Party Combination Studies), and (iv) any Genmab [*] Approval Trial initiated by Genmab in accordance with Section 0; and (b) SGI shall be the sponsor of and solely conduct and be responsible for the performance of any other Clinical Trials of the Product which are not specified in clause (a) above, including (1) the Clinical Trials known as [*], (2) any other Clinical Trials for the Product to be conducted for [*], (3) any Phase III-B or Phase IV Studies, (4) any SGI Party Combination Studies to be conducted by or on behalf of SGI, to the extent such studies are included in the Global Development Plan (such Global Development Plan to also set forth the details regarding Clinical Supply and data sharing with respect to such SGI Party Combination Studies), and (5) any Clinical Trial regarding the Product and any other product owned or otherwise controlled by a Third Party, to the extent such studies are included in the Global Development Plan. For clarity, the foregoing is intended to establish which Party will have operational control over relevant Clinical Trials following the Effective Date, but it is not intended to prevent the other Party from performing Medical Affairs Activities, including through outreach and contacts with Clinical Trial sites, in its Party Major Market(s) to the extent otherwise permitted under this Agreement.
Development in [*]. It is the expectation of the Parties that Clinical Trials for the Product conducted by SGI as sponsor in accordance with Section 4.6.2 will include an adequate patient population from [*] to support Regulatory Approval of the Product in [*] for the Disease(s) for which such Clinical Trials are intended to treat. However, to the extent that it is not reasonably practicable for such Clinical Trials to include an adequate patient population from [*] to support such Regulatory Approval of the Product in [*], the Parties, acting through the JDC, will promptly amend the Global Development Plan to add such Clinical Trial(s) to be conducted in [*] with an adequate patient population from [*] to support such Regulatory Approval in [*] (any such Clinical Trial, a “Genmab [*] Approval Trial”), and Genmab shall be the sponsor of and solely conduct and be responsible for the performance of any such Genmab [*] Approval Trial. For the avoidance of doubt, the FTE Costs of Genmab’s personnel and Out of Pocket Costs incurred by Genmab in connection with the planning and conduct of any Genmab [*] Approval Trial, including Manufacturing Costs for Clinical Supply and any comparator or placebo therefor, shall be considered Development Costs hereunder.
4.6.3Development in the Royalty Territory.

For clarity, if Genmab or its representatives on any Committee refuse to approve any such amendment or modification to the Global Development Plan with respect to the Royalty Territory, SGI shall not be deemed to

4.6.4Development Costs. Development Costs incurred by the Parties in connection with Development activities conducted for the Product under this Agreement (including [*]) in accordance with the Global Development Plan shall be shared as Net Profit/Net Loss in accordance with Section 5.1 and the other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. For clarity, any Development activities conducted by or on behalf of SGI or its Affiliates or their Sublicensees for countries in the Royalty Territory that are not included in the Global Development Plan shall be at SGI’s sole cost and expense, and shall not be shared as Net Profit/Net Loss hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Collaboration Agreement, SGI may engage subcontractors to perform Development, Manufacturing, or Commercialization activities with respect to the Product in the Royalty Territory or outside the Royalty Territory solely to support Development or Commercialization of the Product in the Royalty Territory without the prior written consent of Genmab or any Committee, provided that subsections (i)-(iii) above shall continue to apply.
4.7.2Sublicensing. This Section 4.7.2 supersedes Section 5.11 of the Collaboration Agreement with respect to the grant by either Party of a Commercial Sublicense for the Product to a Third Party. In addition, to the extent any sublicense permitted under this Agreement would require the grant of a sublicense under the Collaboration Agreement with respect to the Product, the Parties agree to grant that sublicense with respect to the Product notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Collaboration Agreement.
(a)In General. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.7.2,

(c)Third Party Sublicensing. With respect to the grant by a Party or its Affiliate to a Third Party sublicensee that includes the right to Commercialize the Product, but not including any wholesaler, distributor, or the like (such sublicensee, a “Sublicensee,” and such sublicense, a “Commercial Sublicense”):
(i)In the [*] Markets. If a Party desires to grant a Commercial Sublicense in countries or territories that include one or more of its Party [*] Market(s), such Party shall notify the other Party in writing thereof. Thereafter, the Parties, through the JSC, shall discuss the strategy, timing, and other considerations relating to finding an appropriate Sublicensee for such [*] Market Sublicense. If the JSC agrees to pursue a Sublicensee to Commercialize Product in such [*] Market, then (i) each Party shall take the [*] Market Sublicense that includes solely the Party [*] Market(s) of such Party, and (ii) if such [*] Market Sublicense would involve the grant of rights in or for the Party [*] Market(s) of both Parties, the JSC shall determine which Party [*]. The [*] Party shall provide the other Party [*] without the approval of the JSC, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.
(ii)In the Royalty Territory. SGI may grant a Commercial Sublicense in or for countries or territories solely within the Royalty Territory in its sole discretion; provided, that, without limiting the foregoing, SGI will first notify Genmab and upon a written request by Genmab within [*] of SGI’s notice, SGI shall reasonably consider [*]. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) Product sales by any such Sublicensee in the Royalty Territory shall be considered Net Sales to the extent provided in the definition of “Net Sales” hereunder, (B) Product sales to any Third Party distributor, wholesaler, or the like in or for the Royalty Territory shall be considered Net Sales to the extent provided in the definition of “Net Sales” hereunder, and (C) any other consideration paid to SGI or any of its Affiliates by or on behalf of any such Sublicensee or distributer, wholesaler, or the like shall be retained by SGI and shall not be considered “Sublicensing Revenue” hereunder.
(d)[*] Sublicensing. Without limiting subsection (c)(i) above, the Parties acknowledge that prior to the Effective Date, [*] initiated a business development process with respect to the potential out-license of rights to Commercialize the Product in [*] (the “Process”).

5.1.2Calculation and Payment.
(a)Within [*] days after the end of each Quarter beginning with the first Quarter in which either Development Costs or Allowable Expenses are incurred, each Party shall report to the JFT its Net Sales and Sublicensing Revenue in the Major Markets, as well as its Allowable Expenses and Development Costs. Each such report shall, as applicable, specify in reasonable detail all deductions allowed in the calculation of such Net Sales, documentation supporting its receipts of such Sublicensing Revenue, and all expenses or costs included in Allowable Expenses or Development Costs, and, if requested by Genmab or SGI, any invoices or other supporting documentation for any payments to a Third Party that constitute Allowable Expenses or Development Costs and that individually exceed [*] or with respect to which documentation is otherwise reasonably requested shall be promptly provided. In addition, each such report shall specify the amount of gross sales of Product for the Quarter and the amount offset from gross sales to Net Sales by category for the Quarter. Within [*] Business Days after receipt of such reports, the JFT shall confer and agree in writing on a consolidated financial statement setting forth the Net Profit/Net Loss for such Quarter for the Product and calculating each Party’s share of such Net Profit/Net Loss.
(b)Within [*] Business Days after the Parties (through the JFT) have reconciled the reports delivered under Section 5.1.2(a) for each Quarter, the Party who will receive payment shall issue to the other Party an invoice for the agreed amount and the other Party shall, within [*] Business Days of such invoice, make a payment to SGI or Genmab, as applicable, so that each of Genmab and SGI has been compensated for its respective share or has borne its respective share of such Net Profit/Net Loss, as applicable, after giving effect to the (i) Net Sales invoiced and Sublicensing Revenue received for the Major Markets as well as Allowable Expenses and Development Costs incurred by SGI, and (ii) Net Sales invoiced and Sublicensing Revenue received for the Major Markets, as well as Allowable Expenses and Development Costs incurred by Genmab, to effect the intent of Section 5.1.1; provided, however, that in the event of any disagreement with respect to the calculation of such payment, any undisputed portion of such payment shall be paid in accordance with the foregoing timetable and the remaining, disputed portion shall be paid within [*] Business Days after the date on which Genmab and SGI, using good faith efforts, resolve the dispute or such dispute is resolved pursuant to a dispute resolution mechanism under this Agreement.

(c)In addition, for planning purposes, each Party shall report to the other Party and the JFT within [*] Business Days after the end of each calendar month following the first Launch of the Product in its Party Major Market(s) its estimated Net Sales (including the estimated amount of gross sales of Product by stock keeping units of Product) in its Party Major Market(s) in such month and its estimated Allowable Expenses in such month. Further, each Party shall consider in good faith other reasonable procedures proposed by the other Party for sharing financial information in order to permit each Party to close its books periodically in a timely manner.
(d)If either Party intends to include a Net Sales forecast or a Net Profit/Net Loss forecast in any public filings or public statements in connection with its required financial reporting to any Securities Exchange, the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to prepare Net Sales or Net Profit/Net Loss forecasts reasonably in advance of such filing or public statement; provided, that if the Parties are unable to agree to such forecasts in advance of such filing or public statement, the filing Party shall be permitted to use its good faith Net Sales or Net Profit/Net Loss forecasts in such filing or public statement.
(e)For the avoidance of doubt, no cost or expense shall be counted more than once in calculating Allowable Expenses or Development Costs, even if such cost or expense falls into more than one of the cost categories that comprise Allowable Expenses or Development Costs. For purposes of determining Allowable Expenses, Development Costs and Net Profit/Net Loss, each Party shall be required to record for relevant employees aggregate FTE hours worked or FTE hours worked on activities related to the Product (subject to Section 1.49) and all such allowed FTE Costs shall be charged based on the percentage of time allocated to the Product and activities under this Agreement (or as otherwise set forth in Section 1.49).

All calculations of Net Profit/Net Loss hereunder shall be made in accordance with Collaboration Accounting Standards, including the provisions thereof regarding expense recognition, as applied by Genmab and SGI consistently with their application in their respective external financial reporting.
5.1.4Integrity of Profit Sharing in the Major Markets.
(a)The Parties recognize that in certain regions, restrictions on cross- border sales of the Product are not permitted, and that in such regions (e.g., within the EU), sales of units of the Product intended to be sold in a Major Market and therefore subject to payment obligations under Section 5.1 may instead be sold in a country that is in the Royalty Territory instead, and initially included in amounts subject to royalty obligations under Section 5.2. In such case, the Parties have agreed to perform an annual assessment of whether their intended allocation of economic benefit as set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 has been effected and, if not, to make reconciling payments between the Parties to effectuate their intent as set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, pursuant to the mechanism set forth in this Section 5.1.4.
(b)Within [*] days after the end of the Quarter in which the first Launch of the Product in a Major Market occurs, and within [*] days after the end of each Quarter

thereafter, the Parties, through the JCC and in coordination with the JFT, shall review for such Quarter that most recently ended (“Relevant Review Period”) the following information: (A) the total amount of Net Sales allocated to the Major Markets for the purpose of calculating the Net Profit/Net Loss for the Major Markets in accordance with this Section 5.1, (B) the total amount of Net Sales allocated to the Royalty Territory for the purpose of calculating the total royalties due by SGI to Genmab in accordance with Section 5.1.4, (C) the estimated amount of total prescriptions issued for the Product in the Major Markets, in accordance with data obtained from IQVIA or another source mutually acceptable to the Parties, and (D) the estimated amount of total prescriptions issued for the Product in the Royalty Territory, in accordance with data obtained from IQVIA or another source mutually acceptable to the Parties, in each case of (A)-(D), during the Relevant Review Period. To the extent that the fraction A/B is less than or greater than the fraction C/D, then the JCC, in coordination with the JFT shall determine reconciling payments to be made between the Parties with respect to the Relevant Review Period as necessary to effectuate their intended allocation of the economic benefit as set forth in such Sections (a “Reconciling Payment Determination”). Any such reconciling payments shall be made within [*] days after the JFT has made a Reconciling Payment Determination.

5.2.3Royalty Term. SGI’s obligation to pay royalties under this Section 5.2 with respect to the Product in each country in the Royalty Territory will commence upon Launch of the Product in such country and will continue until the later of (i) expiration of the last-to-expire [*] of the [*] covering Program Inventions claiming or covering the Product in such country or (ii) [*] after such Launch of the Product in such country (such period, the “Royalty Term”); provided, however, that if the Product is royalty-bearing in a given country only pursuant to clause (ii) above, then the each royalty rate set forth in Section 5.2.1 shall be reduced by [*] for such country for the remainder of the Royalty Term and; provided, further, that in no event shall the royalty rates set forth in Section 5.2.1 be reduced pursuant to Section 5.2.2 and this Section 5.2.3 by more than [*], in the aggregate.

5.3.2Tax Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate tax withholding, Indirect Taxes, or similar obligations in respect of Net Profit, royalties and other payments made by one Party to the other under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that a Party (or its assignee) (the “Paying Party”) is required by Applicable Law to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment due to the other Party (or its assignee) (the “Payee Party”) under this Agreement, the Paying Party shall provide [*] Business Days’ notice of such intention to withhold to the Payee Party, and the Payee Party shall provide the Paying Party any tax forms and other information that may be reasonably necessary in order not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. The Payee Party shall provide any such tax forms to the Paying Party at least [*] Business Days prior to the due date for any payment for which the Payee Party desires that the Paying Party apply a reduced withholding rate.

For clarity, if such withholding taxes, Indirect Taxes, or similar obligations have been shared equally by the Parties as an Allowable Expense, the Parties shall share equally in the amount of such recovery.
5.3.3Payment of Tax.
(a)To the extent that a Paying Party is required by Applicable Law to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment due to the Payee Party under this Agreement or allocation of Net Profits/Net Losses under this Agreement, such Paying Party shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to the Payee Party evidence of such withholding in the form customarily provided by the applicable Governmental Authority to enable the Payee Party to claim such payment of taxes. Any taxes that are so deducted and withheld shall be treated as paid to the Payee Party hereunder. If the Paying Party failed to deduct or withhold tax required by Applicable Law, the Payee Party shall [*]. In the event that a liability for withholding taxes is imposed or asserted by a Governmental Authority upon the Paying Party in respect of a failure to withhold such taxes from or in respect of any amount payable to a Payee Party under this Agreement (a “Withholding Tax Claim”), (1) the Paying Party shall notify the Payee Party promptly upon the receipt of any such Withholding Tax Claim from a Governmental Authority which might give rise to an indemnification under this Section 5.3.3 (although the Paying Party’s delay in promptly notifying the Payee Party shall only reduce the Payee Party’s liability to indemnify the Paying Party to the extent that the Payee Party is actually prejudiced by such delay); (2) the Payee Party shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, and with counsel of its choosing, in the defense of any such Withholding Tax Claim which may give rise to liability under this Section 5.3.3(a); (3) the Paying Party may not settle the Withholding Tax Claim with a Governmental Authority, to the extent such settlement would create a liability for the Payee Party under this Section 5.3.3(a), without the prior written consent of the Payee Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (4) the Payee Party shall indemnify the Paying Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Paying Party in the defense of the Withholding Tax Claim; provided, further, that the foregoing indemnification obligation shall not apply to the extent that if the Paying Party had withheld such taxes, it would have been required to increase such amount payable under Section 5.3.3(b).
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) any Party redomiciles or assigns its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (b) as a result of such redomiciliation or assignment, such Party (or its assignee) is required by Applicable Law to withhold taxes, or such redomiciliation or assignment results in the imposition of Indirect Taxes that were not otherwise applicable, from or in respect of any amount payable from such Party to the other Party under this Agreement, and (c) such withholding taxes or Indirect Taxes exceed the amount of withholding taxes or Indirect Taxes that would have been applicable had such redomiciliation or assignment not occurred, then any such amount payable shall be increased to take into account such withholding taxes or Indirect Taxes as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings (including withholdings on the additional amounts payable) and/or paying such Indirect Taxes, as the case may be, the Payee Party (or its assignee) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such increased withholding been made and no such Indirect

Taxes had been imposed. The obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not apply, however, to the extent such increased withholding tax or Indirect Taxes (i) would not have been imposed but for the assignment by the Payee Party of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the redomiciliation of such Payee Party outside of the United States, to the extent such assignment or redomiciliation occurs after the redomiciliation or assignment by the Paying Party described in the first sentence of this Section 5.3.3(b) or (ii) are attributable to the failure by the Payee Party to comply with the requirements of Section 5.3.3(c).
(c)Each Party has provided a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 or applicable Form W-8 to the other Parties. Each Party and any other recipient of payments under this Agreement shall provide to the other Party, at the time or times reasonably requested by such other Parties or as required or permitted by Applicable Law, such properly completed and duly executed documentation (for example, IRS Forms W-8 or W-9) as will permit payments made under this Agreement to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding for taxes.
5.3.4Partnership Tax Treatment. Each Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that to the extent the Parties are sharing Net Profits/Net Losses pursuant to Section 5.1.1 with respect to the Development and Commercialization of the Product then a partnership for United States income tax purposes is formed between the Parties (the “Tax Partnership”). The Parties further agree and acknowledge that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Tax Partnership commenced upon the effective date of the Joint Commercialization Agreement (the “Tax Partnership Formation Date”). The Parties intend that for U.S. federal (and applicable state) income tax purposes, each of Genmab and SGI shall be treated as having contributed property of equal value to the Tax Partnership on the Tax Partnership Formation Date (such value to be determined by mutual agreement of the Parties) in a transaction intended to qualify for non- recognition treatment under Section 721(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”). The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Royalty Payments provided for under Section 5.2 shall not be treated as contributions to or distributions from the Tax Partnership, but shall be treated by the Parties as payments made outside of the Tax Partnership (by SGI to Genmab not in their capacity as Partners in the Tax Partnership). The Tax Partnership shall be governed and operated in accordance with the rights and obligations set forth in Schedule 5.3.4. The Parties further acknowledge that the arrangements described in this Agreement (including Schedule 5.3.4) shall be treated by the Parties as a partnership solely for U.S. federal (and applicable state) income tax purposes and is not intended to constitute a partnership for any non-tax purpose or for tax purposes under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to take such reasonable actions and execute such documents as reasonably necessary to support the tax position set forth in this Section 5.3.4 and Schedule 5.3.4.
5.3.5Effectively Connected Income. The Parties shall coordinate and cooperate reasonably and in good faith to review the anticipated tax consequences associated with the Development and Commercialization activities undertaken by the Parties (and their respective Affiliates) pursuant to this Agreement and structure such activities in a manner to minimize, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the income generated from activities that constitutes income effectively connected with a trade or business within the United States (within the meaning of Section 864 of the Tax Code) (“ECI”) or profits attributable to a permanent establishment or other

Each Party, upon request, shall provide information to the other Party about the location and structure of its Development and Commercialization activities reasonably in connection with the foregoing review. The determination of the structure of Development and Commercialization activities for the foregoing purposes shall be made by the JCC; provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to undertake actions that could reasonably be expected to result in adverse tax or business consequences to such Party (including any liability for taxes that are not indemnified by the other Party under Section 5.3.3) or that would cause such Party to incur material out-of-pocket costs (other than any out-of-pocket costs that the other Party agrees to reimburse).
5.4Currency. All payments hereunder will be in Dollars in immediately available funds and will be made by wire transfer from a United States bank located in the United States to such bank account as payee may designate in writing from time to time.
5.5Foreign Exchange. The amounts accruing in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars using an exchange rate equal to, unless otherwise agreed by the JFT, the arithmetic average of the U.S. daily closing rates published by Reuters during the applicable Quarter for which payments are being made or applicable costs are accrued. The conversion calculations will be provided in any statement reporting converted amounts.
5.6Late Payments. Any undisputed payments or portions thereof due hereunder which are not paid on the date such payments are due under this Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, under the heading “Money Rates,” on the first date of each Quarter in which such payments are overdue, plus [*] or (b) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, in each case ((a) and (b)), calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent, compounded monthly using a three hundred sixty-five (365)-day year.

Any such auditor shall not disclose the audited Party’s information to the auditing Party, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to report on the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the audited Party or the amount of payments due by the audited Party under this Agreement. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid, or overpaid, shall be paid or refunded (as the case may be) within [*] days after the accountant’s report, unless such report is challenged in good faith by the audited Party, in which case any undisputed portion shall be paid within [*] days after the accountant’s report and any remaining disputed portion shall be paid within [*] days after resolution of the dispute, and interest shall not accrue with respect to the disputed portion during the period of time the dispute is being resolved. The auditing Party shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an overpayment to, or an underpayment by, the audited Party that resulted from a discrepancy in a report that the audited Party provided to the other Party during the applicable audit period, which underpayment or overpayment was more than [*], in which case the audited Party shall bear the Out of Pocket Costs of such audit.
5.8Third Party License Agreements.
5.8.1Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party via discussion at the JSC or any Committee charged with oversight for intellectual property matters, or between the Alliance Managers, if either Party believes that Patent or other intellectual property rights controlled by a Third Party (but not already Controlled by a Party) may be necessary or reasonably useful for the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of the Product in or for one or more Major Markets and such notifying Party proposes that a Party should enter into a Third Party License Agreement therefor for one or more Major Markets.
5.8.2The Parties, through the JSC, shall discuss whether or not to negotiate the terms of such Third Party License Agreement for one or more Major Markets. The determination of whether to pursue the negotiation of any such Third Party License Agreement for one or more Major Markets must be made by the JSC.
5.8.3If the JSC decides to pursue the negotiation of a Third Party License Agreement for one or more Major Markets, the JSC shall also decide which Party or whether the Parties jointly shall take the lead on negotiating the terms of such Third Party License Agreement (the “Lead Negotiating Party”); provided, that the presumption shall be that (a) SGI shall be the Lead Negotiating Party for a Third Party License Agreement for one or more SGI Major Markets, unless such Third Party License Agreement relates primarily to the Genmab Technology rather than the Product, in which case Genmab shall be the Lead Negotiating Party, and (b) Genmab shall be the Lead Negotiation Party for a Third Party License Agreement for the Genmab Major Market, unless such Third Party License Agreement relates primarily to the SGI Technology rather than the Product, in which case SGI shall be the Lead Negotiating Party. If the Lead Negotiating Party elects not to or to cease taking the lead on negotiating the terms of a Third Party License Agreement, it shall promptly notify the other Party and transition the negotiation thereof to the other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the JSC may decide to discontinue any such negotiation or decide that neither Party shall enter into any Third Party License Agreement so negotiated.

5.8.4In connection with any negotiation of a Third Party License Agreement for one or more Major Markets: (a) the terms of any such license shall permit the Party obtaining such Third Party License Agreement to grant to the other Party a sublicense thereunder to practice the licensed rights thereunder; (b) the Parties, in consultation through the JSC, shall cooperate in negotiating the terms of such Third Party License Agreement with such Third Party as reasonably necessary to enable such other Party to exercise its rights under this Agreement; and (c) the Lead Negotiating Party for such Third Party License Agreement shall consult with the other Party through the JSC prior to making any material proposal regarding, or otherwise agreeing to, the terms of any such license. Additionally, the Parties shall negotiate and structure such Third Party License Agreement in a fair and equitable manner, taking into consideration the manner in which such license rights are to be used, and, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, shall not structure any such arrangement with the purpose or effect of shifting to one Party or the other the amount of Payments to Third Parties for which either Party will be responsible (if any) pursuant to this Agreement.
5.8.5The terms of a Third Party License Agreement for one or more Major Markets, and any amendment thereto, must be approved by the JSC prior to execution thereof.
5.8.6SGI shall promptly notify Genmab via discussion at the JSC or any Committee charged with oversight for intellectual property matters, or between the Alliance Managers, if SGI believes that Patent or other intellectual property rights controlled by a Third Party (but not already Controlled by a Party) may be necessary or reasonably useful for the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of the Product in or for one or more countries in the Royalty Territory. Prior to execution, SGI will discuss with Genmab any proposed Third Party License Agreement for one or more countries in the Royalty Territory and SGI will consider any Genmab input thereon in good faith, but, for the avoidance of doubt, SGI may enter into one or more Third Party License Agreements for one or more countries in the Royalty Territory in its sole discretion; provided, that neither Party is aware of equivalent Third Party intellectual property rights that exist outside of the Royalty Territory which may be necessary or reasonably useful for the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of the Product in or for one or more Major Markets. In case such equivalent Third Party intellectual property rights exist outside of the Royalty Territory, any Third Party License Agreement with respect to the Royalty Territory and Major Market(s) shall be handled in accordance with Sections 5.8.1 to 5.8.5.
5.9Payment to Third Parties.
5.9.1All Payments to Third Parties (i) (A) if triggered by Development activities directed towards obtaining Regulatory Approval of the Product in the Major Markets, shall be included as Development Costs for the Product, and (B) if triggered by Development activities directed towards obtaining Regulatory Approval of a Product in the Royalty Territory, shall be borne solely by SGI and (ii) (A) if triggered by Commercialization of a Product in a country in the Major Markets, shall be treated as Allowable Expenses for the Product, and (B) if triggered by Commercialization of a Product in a country or territory in the Royalty Territory, shall be borne solely by SGI. If a given Payment to Third Parties is not triggered by territory-dependent activities (e.g., an upfront payment), then a reasonable portion of such Payment to Third Parties shall, (X) to the extent directly attributable or reasonably allocable to the Major Markets, be treated as an

ARTICLE 6
MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY
6.1Overview. The provisions of this ARTICLE 6 shall apply to the Manufacture of the Product unless otherwise agreed by mutual Party Written Consent.
6.2Global Manufacturing Plan. Prior to the Effective Date, the JDT adopted a Joint Development Plan and Joint Budget (each, as defined in the Collaboration Agreement) that govern the global Development, Manufacturing, and regulatory activities of the Parties with respect to the Product under the Collaboration Agreement. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Date, the JCMCT shall (a) update the portions of such Joint Development Plan and Joint Budget relating to Manufacturing and CMC Development to the extent necessary to (i) align the contents thereof with this Agreement and the Approved Plans hereunder, and (ii) otherwise reflect the global Manufacturing and CMC Development activities of the Parties with respect to the Product throughout the Territory, including the topics set forth in this Section 6.2, (provided that such plan and budget shall include a high-level summary prepared by SGI with respect to the Royalty Territory) and (b) submit such updated plan and budget to the JSC for approval (as approved by the JSC, such plan and budget, collectively, the “Global Manufacturing Plan”). Following its approval by the JSC, the Global Manufacturing Plan under this Agreement shall replace the portions of the Joint Development Plan and Joint Budget under the Collaboration Agreement for purposes of Manufacturing and CMC Development for the Product. On an annual basis, or more often as the Parties deem appropriate, the JCMCT shall prepare amendments to the then-current Global Manufacturing Plan, including any amendments proposed by SGI with respect to the Royalty Territory, for approval by the JSC. In the event of any inconsistency between the Global Manufacturing Plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

6.3Manufacturing Transition; Supply and Quality Agreements.
6.3.1Notwithstanding any determinations of the JSC or the JCMCT made prior to the Effective Date, the Parties agree that SGI will be responsible for global Manufacturing for the Product following the Effective Date, subject to the oversight of the JCMCT and otherwise in accordance with the Global Manufacturing Plan and this Agreement; provided, that the Selling Party shall perform Packaging and Labeling and Sales and Distribution for the Product in such Party’s Party Major Market(s) and, as to SGI, the Royalty Territory. Accordingly, [*] following the Effective Date, the JCMCT shall develop a plan to transition global Manufacturing for the Product (but not including Packaging and Labeling or any Sales and Distribution activities, in each case, for the Genmab Major Market) to SGI (the “Manufacturing Transition Plan”). The Manufacturing Transition Plan will provide for, where possible, the assignment or an appropriate delegation to SGI (including the grant of a sublicense to SGI, where appropriate), or other appropriate disposition or substitution consistent with this ARTICLE 6, of existing agreements between Genmab or its Affiliates and contract manufacturing organization (“CMOs”) with respect to supply of the Product, which agreements are listed on Schedule 6.3 (“Existing Product CMO Agreements,” and the relevant Third Party CMOs that are counterparties thereto, the “Existing Product CMOs”). Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement the Manufacturing Transition Plan and complete the transition of Manufacturing contemplated by this Section 6.3.1 as promptly as practicable, and in any event within the timelines contemplated therein. Unless otherwise agreed by the JSC, SGI shall continue to use the Existing Product CMOs for the Manufacturing of the Product in the Major Markets for the remaining terms of such Existing Product CMO Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to Clinical Supply for the Major Markets, the JSC shall agree on whether to renew any then-existing agreements with CMOs (including the Existing Product CMOs) for the Clinical Supply of the Product or to transition the Clinical Supply of Product to an alternative CMO (or to a Party or its Affiliate, if so determined by the JCMCT in accordance with Section 6.4) at a reasonable time prior to the expiration of the remaining term of each then-existing agreement with a CMO for the Clinical Supply of the Product (including the Existing Product CMOs). With respect to the Commercial Supply of the Product for the Territory, the Parties acknowledge that Genmab is in the process of negotiating a commercial supply agreement with [*] for the Manufacture of the Product for the Territory, and that, subject to the consent of [*], Genmab and SGI will finalize the commercial supply agreement in close consultation with [*] after the Effective Date and, to the extent reasonably possible, the Parties shall make SGI the contracting party to such agreement instead of Genmab, or mutually agree on an alternative path to assign or transition such agreement to SGI.
6.3.2Following the assignment, sublicensing, or other disposition of such Existing Product CMO Agreements to SGI in accordance with Section 6.3.1, the Parties shall (a) transition to a new clinical supply agreement and quality agreement that provide for SGI or its Affiliate to Manufacture and supply to Genmab Clinical Supply in accordance with Genmab’s requirements for Clinical Supply and terminate the existing Clinical Supply Agreement and related quality agreement in connection with such transition, and (b) enter into a supply agreement (the “Commercial Supply Agreement”) and quality agreement between SGI and Genmab, as contemplated by Section 6.2.1 of the Collaboration Agreement and consistent with this Agreement,

setting forth the terms and conditions on which SGI or its Affiliate shall Manufacture and supply, or have Manufactured and supply, to Genmab Commercial Supply for the Genmab Major Market, and, in the case of the quality agreement, quality-related matters relating to such Manufacture. Such supply and quality agreements shall be prepared by or under the oversight of the JCMCT, but shall be mutually agreed and entered into by the Parties or their respective Affiliates. The terms and conditions of such supply agreement will set forth the details of a supply arrangement with financial terms that support the supply of Product and sharing of Manufacturing Costs consistent with this Agreement and otherwise reflect customary terms and conditions for the supply and quality of pharmaceutical products in the context of a collaboration with a profit sharing arrangement such as the Collaboration, including with respect to forecasting and ordering, payment terms, financial and compliance audits, the engagement of subcontractors, a fair and equitable allocation of Product between the Parties and their Affiliates in the event of any defects or Product shortfalls, and representations and warranties. Such quality agreement shall govern processes for product distribution holds, recalls, clinical holds, or market withdrawals (as set forth in Section 4.4) and any other quality control and quality assurance-related activities agreed between the Parties.
6.4Existing CMOs; Second Source. The JCMCT will, from time to time, evaluate the need for a second or additional source for the Manufacturing (other than Packaging and Labeling), in whole or in part, of the Product or any component thereof (i.e., source(s) other than the then-current source(s) for such Manufacturing of the Product or its components) for specific countries globally, and make any recommendations agreed by the JCMCT with respect to the foregoing to the JSC for approval. Unless otherwise agreed by the JSC, the Parties shall continue to use the Existing Product CMOs for the Manufacturing of the Product in Major Markets as well as the Royalty Territory, and JSC approval shall be required before either Party engages in second or additional source Manufacturing for the Product.
6.5Manufacturing Costs. In the event that the Parties develop a costing methodology for Manufacturing Costs under Section 1.71.2, such methodology shall be developed by the JCMCT and approved by the JFT before its application in a relevant Commercial Supply Agreement or other supply agreement entered into under this Agreement. SGI will be solely responsible for all Commercial Packaging and Labeling Costs and Manufacturing Costs for Product for the Royalty Territory, and after the expiration of the Royalty Term in a country, SGI will be solely responsible for those additional costs no longer included in [*] that are directly attributable or reasonably allocable to such country as set forth in Sections 1.3.4, 1.3.5 and 1.3.6.
6.6Inventory. The Parties shall each track and record on a Quarterly basis their respective inventory of Product (including components thereof) and their respective costs of Packaging and Labeling to enable the calculation of Allowable Expenses and Development Costs for the Product. Each Party shall provide a report to the JFT and JCMCT of such inventory and costs on a Quarterly basis.
6.7Product Shortfall; Allocation. In the event of any material Product shortfall or defect, the JCMCT will develop a methodology to fairly and equitably allocate Product supply between the Parties and their Affiliates on a global basis (with first priority given to the Major Markets relative to the Royalty Territory), and propose such global allocation and any changes thereto for review and approval by the JSC.

12.3Amendments to Section 3.4 of the Collaboration Agreement. Section 3.4 of the Collaboration Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“3.4Exclusivity
3.4.1Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Commercialization Agreement, the Parties and their Affiliates shall work exclusively with each other to develop and commercialize Exclusive Products (for which the Opt-In Period has not yet expired) and Collaboration Products solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Commercialization Agreement, each Party shall be free to work alone or with Affiliates or Third Parties to research, develop, and commercialize any product that is not a Competing Product.
3.4.2Except as expressly permitted in this Section 3.4, neither Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, perform research, conduct clinical development of, commercialize, or otherwise acquire rights to any Competing Product.
3.4.3If a Party or any of its Affiliates, either as a result of an acquisition by such Party or its Affiliates of a Third Party or any of its business or assets, obtains ownership, license or other rights to a Competing Product (or, as a result of such acquisition, has as an Affiliate that has an ownership, license or other rights to a Competing Product), then such Party or its Affiliate (the “Competing Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party in writing no later than the Required Notice Date that it is electing to:
(i)Divest itself of such Competing Product via a transaction in which such Party and its Affiliates no longer has an economic interest in the future sales of the Competing Product and notify the other Party in writing of such Divestiture; provided, that such Divestiture must be completed prior to (x) the expiration of [*] following the Required Notice Date in the case of a Competing Product that is [*], and (y) at least [*] prior to [*], in the case of a Competing Product that is [*] (the “Divestment Period”); or
(ii)(A) commit not to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, by itself or with a Third Party, market, promote, sell, manufacture or distribute for commercial sale such Competing Product, or (B) in the case of any such Competing Product with respect to which [*], cease engaging in such prohibited activities with respect to such Competing Product (in which event the Competing Party shall have a period of [*] after the Required Notice Date to sell off existing inventory or work-in-progress of the Competing Product) (the “Grace Period Activities”) ((A) and (B) collectively, “Cease Activities for the Competing Product”).
If the Competing Party notifies the other Party that it elects to Cease Activities for the Competing Product as set forth hereunder, the Competing Party shall immediately start to Cease Activities for the Competing Product. For clarity, if the Parties mutually agree in writing to an alternative arrangement (such as bringing the Competing Product under this Agreement or transitioning the Competing Party to a passive role hereunder), the Competing Party shall not be in breach of Section 3.4 to the extent it carries out the mutually agreed alternative arrangement. Moreover, in circumstances where the Competing Party notifies the other Party that it intends to Divest the Competing Product pursuant to Section 3.4.3(i) and fails despite using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete such

3.4.4Change of Control
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any intellectual property Controlled by any Person that becomes an Affiliate of a Party (the “Acquired Party”) as a result of a Change of Control of such Acquired Party or its Affiliate shall not be Genmab Technology or SGI Technology, as applicable, unless (i) such technology or rights had been Controlled, prior to the Change of Control, by such Acquired Party or its Affiliate(s) that were Affiliate(s) prior to the Change of Control or (ii) with respect to any of the foregoing technology covered by patent rights, at least one named inventor was employed by such Acquired Party or its then Affiliate(s) immediately prior to the public announcement of the transaction(s) giving rise to such Change of Control.
(b)Following any Change of Control of Genmab or its Affiliates, in the event the applicable acquirer has, or has rights or an interest in, at the time of the Change of Control, a Competing Product, Genmab shall be required to, and shall cause its Affiliates to: (i) Segregate such Competing Product and (ii) establish reasonable firewalls to prevent disclosure of non-public plans or non- public information relating to the Development, Manufacturing or Commercialization of any Licensed Product or any Confidential Information of SGI (collectively, the “SGI Sensitive Information”) beyond personnel of Genmab or its Affiliates who continue to actively perform obligations under this Agreement, and to prevent the dissemination of SGI Sensitive Information disclosed after the Change of Control of Genmab or its Affiliates to such acquirer or its Affiliates. For clarity, the foregoing will not apply to any SGI Sensitive Information that is not Confidential Information under Section 13.1 or “Confidential Information” (as such term is defined under the Commercialization Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following such Change of Control of Genmab or its Affiliates, Genmab will be allowed to provide information regarding the amount of financial payments (including the underlying reports provided hereunder) from SGI to Genmab hereunder to such acquirer or its Affiliates.

For clarity, the foregoing will not apply to any Genmab Sensitive Information that is not Confidential Information under Section 13.1 or “Confidential Information” (as such term is defined under the Commercialization Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following such Change of Control of SGI or its Affiliates, SGI will be allowed to provide the information regarding the amount of financial payments

At any other time during the Term, neither Party may use antibody-drug conjugates targeted to Tissue Factor in such studies without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Parties agree that any ongoing activities initiated prior to SGI’s first Opt-In Notice may be finalized according to the contemplated plan.
3.4.6Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Genmab shall be permitted to develop and commercialize, alone or with a partner, a [*] with specificity against Tissue Factor for diagnostic purposes. Genmab shall ensure that any agreements with Third Parties pertaining to the development, commercialization or licensing of such products contain provisions permitting the Parties to use such products to support the development and commercialization of Licensed Products, if appropriate. At any time during the Term, Genmab shall be permitted to use a [*] with specificity against Tissue Factor for research purposes. Following an Opt-Out Notice by SGI or if SGI does not exercise its Opt-In Right for the first Exclusive Product, Genmab shall be permitted to develop, alone or with a partner, a [*] with specificity against Tissue Factor for any purpose. Following an Opt-Out Notice by SGI or if SGI does not exercise its Opt-In Right for the first Exclusive Product, Genmab shall, alone or with a partner, be permitted to commercialize such [*] with specificity against Tissue Factor for any purpose after [*] of the date of First Commercial Sale in a Major Market Country of an Exclusive Product or Genmab Product.”
ARTICLE 13 CONFIDENTIALITY
13.1Confidentiality.
13.1.1Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all Information, documents (including unpublished patent applications), trade secrets, or materials supplied by the other Party or any of its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”) under this Agreement, whether disclosed orally, visually, in writing or in any tangible or electronic form or media, that is confidential or proprietary and is marked or otherwise identified as “Confidential” or which the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates (the “Receiving Party”) should reasonably recognize as being confidential.

13.1.2Non-Disclosure Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE 13, during the Term and for a period of [*] thereafter, each Party shall maintain in confidence, and use only for purposes as expressly authorized and contemplated by this Agreement, all Confidential Information supplied by or on behalf of the other Party or its Affiliates under this Agreement. Each Party shall use at least reasonable care, and in no event less than the same standard of care as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, to ensure that its and its Affiliates’ employees, agents, consultants and clinical investigators only make use of the other Party’s or its Affiliates’ Confidential Information for purposes as expressly authorized and contemplated by this Agreement or the Collaboration Agreement and do not make any unauthorized use or disclosures of such Confidential Information.

13.1.4Compelled Disclosure. Without limiting Section 13.1.3, if a Party is required by Applicable Law or the rules of any Securities Exchange to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party or any of its Affiliates, the Party being compelled shall (if not prohibited by Applicable Law from doing so) promptly inform the other Party of the disclosure that is being sought in order to provide the other Party an opportunity to challenge or limit the disclosure obligations. Without limiting Section 13.1.3, each Party agrees that it shall cooperate fully and in a timely manner with the other Party with respect to all disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other governmental or regulatory agencies or Securities Exchanges, including requests for confidential treatment of Confidential Information of either Party included in any such disclosure.

Neither SGI nor Genmab will, without the prior written consent of the other Party, issue any press release or make any other public announcement or furnish any statement to any Person (other than either Parties’ respective Affiliates) concerning the existence of this Agreement, its terms and the transactions contemplated hereby, except for disclosures made in compliance with ARTICLE 13.
13.3Securities Filings. In the event either Party proposes to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities regulators of any state or other jurisdiction under the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange Act, or any other applicable securities law (the “Securities Exchanges”) a registration statement or any other disclosure document which describes or refers to this Agreement, such Party shall notify the other Party of such intention and shall provide the other Party with a copy of relevant portions of the proposed filing not less than [*] Business Days prior to such filing (and any revisions to such portions of the proposed filing a reasonable time prior to the filing thereof), including any exhibits thereto relating to this Agreement, and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of this Agreement that the other Party requests be kept confidential, consistent with such Party’s disclosure obligations under applicable securities laws.
13.4Publications. Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this ARTICLE 13, neither Party may publish, present or announce results of the Development of the Product either orally or in writing (a

“Publication”) without complying with the provisions of this Section 13.4. The other Party shall have [*] days from receipt of a proposed Publication to provide comments or proposed changes to the publishing Party. The publishing Party shall take into account the comments or proposed changes made by the other Party on any Publication and shall agree to designate employees or others acting on behalf of the other Party as co-authors on any Publication describing results to which such persons have contributed in accordance with standards applicable to authorship of scientific publications. If the other Party reasonably determines that the Publication would entail the public disclosure of such Party’s Confidential Information or of a patentable invention, submission of the concerned Publication to Third Parties shall be delayed for such period as may be reasonably necessary for deleting any such Confidential Information of the other Party (if the other Party has requested deletion thereof from the proposed Publication) or the drafting and filing of a patent application covering such invention; provided, such additional period shall not exceed [*] days from the date the publishing Party first provided the proposed Publication to the other Party. In addition, any publications or presentations in any medium with respect to the Product or activities under this Agreement must comply with the publications charter agreed by the Parties under the Collaboration Agreement, as such charter may be updated or amended by the JMAT from time to time consistent with this Section 13.4 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Publication Charter”). As amended, such Publication Charter shall apply to the Product, only, and not to any other Licensed Product under the Collaboration Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Publication Charter and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
13.5Existing Confidentiality Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that Article 13 of the Collaboration Agreement contains confidentiality and non-use provisions that shall remain in full force and effect solely with respect to information not related to the Product and the confidentiality provisions in this Agreement shall govern all information related to the Product from and after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any conflict between the terms of Article 13 of the Collaboration Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the matters related to the Product.
ARTICLE 14 TERM AND TERMINATION
14.1Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until expired or terminated as provided in this ARTICLE 14.
14.2Expiration. This Agreement shall expire on country-by-country basis, on the date of complete and permanent cessation of Development, Commercialization and any other sale of Product in or for such country. For clarity, this Agreement shall expire in its entirety upon complete and permanent cessation of Development, Commercialization and any other sale of Product in all countries in the Territory. Upon expiration of this Agreement with respect to a country, the Collaboration Agreement will automatically terminate with respect to the Product with respect to such country, and neither Party shall Develop, Commercialize or otherwise sell the Product in or for the relevant country without the prior written agreement of the other Party.
14.3Material Breach.
14.3.1Breach. If either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) believes that the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially breached its obligations under this Agreement, then the Non-Breaching Party may deliver notice of such material breach to the Breaching Party (a “Default Notice”). Such Default Notice may include an allegation from the Non-Breaching
87
[*] = Certain information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both not material and is the type of information that we treat as private or confidential.
CONFIDENTIAL
Party that the alleged material breach by the Breaching Party [*] (a “Fundamental Breach”) or is a material breach of the Agreement affecting only (a) [*], (b) [*], (c) [*], or (d) [*] (each of (a) through (d), an “Affected Region” and the material breach with respect to such Affected Region, a “Regional Material Breach”). For clarity, it is possible that a material breach of this Agreement by a Party with respect to one or more countries may constitute a Fundamental Breach of this Agreement if the relevant material breach fundamentally frustrates the purpose of the Agreement as a whole. If the Breaching Party does not dispute that it has materially breached its obligations under this Agreement, then if the Breaching Party fails to cure such breach within [*] days after receipt of the Default Notice, or if such cure cannot reasonably be fully achieved within such [*] period and the Breaching Party has failed to commence curing such breach using diligent efforts to cure such breach as soon as reasonably practicable (not to exceed a total of [*] additional days), then, Section 14.3.2 shall apply. If a cure cannot reasonably be fully achieved within [*] days of receipt of a Default Notice and the Breaching Party has commenced using diligent efforts to cure such breach in accordance with this Section 14.3.1, Section 14.3.2 shall not apply for such time as is reasonably necessary to fully achieve the relevant cure so long as the Breaching Party is using diligent efforts to cure such breach; provided, that in no event shall the cure period extend for more than [*] after the date upon which the breaching Party receives the notice of such material breach from the other Party. If the Breaching Party disputes that it has (i) materially breached its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) failed to cure such breach, or (iii) failed to commence curing such breach using diligent efforts to cure such breach as provided in this Section 14.3.1, in each case, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with ARTICLE 16. If, as a result of the application of such arbitration procedures, the Breaching Party is determined to be in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement (including, if applicable, a Fundamental Breach or a Regional Material Breach) and has failed to cure such breach within the foregoing time period as applicable (an “Adverse Ruling”), then, if the Breaching Party fails to complete the actions specified by the Adverse Ruling to cure such material breach within [*] after such ruling, or if such compliance cannot be fully achieved within such [*] and the Breaching Party has failed to commence compliance or has failed to use diligent efforts to achieve full compliance as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, then Section 14.3.2 shall apply. During the pendency of any such dispute, all rights, remedies and cure periods relating to the dispute and any alleged breach shall be tolled, and all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will remain in effect and the Parties will continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder.
14.3.2Non-Breaching Party Right.
(a)Subject to Section 14.3.1, in the event of a Fundamental Breach, then upon written notice by the Non-Breaching Party, the Breaching Party will be deemed to have provided an Opt-Out Notice for the Product for purposes of Section 5.10 of the Collaboration Agreement and Sections 5.10.3 and 5.10.4 of the Collaboration Agreement shall apply. If a Fundamental Breach occurs and the Non-Breaching Party exercises its rights pursuant to Section 14.3.1 with respect thereto, then the second, third and fourth sentences of Section 5.10.3 of the Collaboration Agreement shall not apply, but instead the remainder of this Section 14.3.2(a) shall apply: The Breaching Party will not be refunded or repaid any amounts it has paid for the Development or Commercialization of the Product. In addition, the Breaching Party will remain responsible for its share of Development Costs and Allowable Expenses incurred with respect to the Product through [*] following the date of the Non-Breaching Party’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this Section 14.3.2(a), to the extent such costs and expenses were incurred pursuant to applicable Approved Plans. Furthermore, for [*] after the date of such termination, the Breaching Party shall provide development, consultation or support work for the Product, as reasonably requested by the Non-Breaching Party, and the Non-Breaching Party shall reimburse the Breaching Party’s FTE Costs for such work at the annual rate per FTE as in force between the Parties at such date.

(b)Subject to Section 14.3.1, in the event of a Regional Material Breach, then upon written notice by the Non-Breaching Party, the Affected Region(s) shall be deemed part of (i) if Genmab is the Non-Breaching Party, the “Genmab Royalty Territory” (operating mutatis mutandis as if such Affected Region(s) were included in the Royalty Territory except that Genmab would have the rights and obligations as if Genmab were SGI under this Agreement with respect to the Product in the Affected Region) for all purposes under this Agreement (and shall no longer be a Genmab Major Market, SGI’s Major Market(s) or Royalty Territory, as applicable), and (ii) if SGI is the Non-Breaching Party, the Royalty Territory for all purposes under this Agreement (and shall no longer be Genmab’s Major Market or SGI’s Major Market(s)) and shall be treated in the same manner as any other countries in the Royalty Territory; provided, however, that in each of (i) and (ii), as applicable, all amounts otherwise payable to the Breaching Party with respect to Net Sales of the Product in the Affected Region that would apply pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be reduced by [*]; provided, further, that in no event shall the royalty rates set forth in Section 5.2.1 be reduced pursuant to Section 5.2.2, Section 5.2.3 and this Section 14.3.2(b) by more than [*], in the aggregate.
(c)If the Non-Breaching Party exercises its rights pursuant to Section 14.3.2(b), then promptly thereafter, the Parties will work together to and complete a transfer and assignment to the Non-Breaching Party of all regulatory documents, contracts, licenses, collaborations, materials and information that are reasonably necessary for the Non- Breaching Party to exercise such rights, which transfer and assignment shall be at the Breaching Party’s sole cost and expense (which shall include the FTE Costs and Out of Pocket Costs incurred by the Non-Breaching Party to effect such transfer and assignment). In such case, the Breaching Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to transition all activities to be transferred or assigned to the Non-Breaching Party pursuant to this Section 14.3.2(c) as promptly as practicable.
(d)No remedy referred to in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive unless explicitly stated to be so, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to in this Agreement or otherwise available under law or equity. Without limiting Section 14.3.1 or ARTICLE 16, in addition to the other rights of the Non-Breaching Party under this Section 14.3.2, the Non-Breaching Party may offset against amounts payable to the Breaching Party pursuant to this Agreement any damages resulting from such material breach.
14.3.3No Termination. For clarity, unless otherwise expressly set forth in Section 14.3.2, the Parties agree that this Agreement will not be terminated pursuant to this Section 14.3 and the Breaching Party shall continue to be obligated to perform any activities not assumed by the Non-Breaching Party pursuant to Section 14.3.2 and shall continue to share in Net Profit/Net Loss or receive or pay royalties with respect to the Royalty Territory, as applicable, as set forth in this Agreement (subject to any adjustment made pursuant to Section 14.3.2 or as a result of dispute resolution hereunder).
14.4Termination of Co-Funding; Out-License of Product. For clarity, Section 5.10 of the Collaboration Agreement continues to apply to the Product; provided, the Opt-Out Date for the Product will be effective [*] after the Non-Continuing Party provides written notice to the other Party (such notice being irrevocable once provided), and the Continuing Party shall have the right to determine whether it will assume sole responsibility for Development and Commercialization of the Product. If the Continuing Party so elects, then, on and after the effective date of termination, the Product shall be treated as a Genmab Product (if Genmab is the Continuing Party) or an SGI Product (if SGI is the Continuing Party) and the terms of the Collaboration Agreement shall apply with respect to Product (including Section 5.10 of the Collaboration Agreement and the payment of royalties and milestones pursuant to Article 10 of the Collaboration Agreement).
14.5Termination for Insolvency; Bankruptcy. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if, at any

time, the other Party (a) shall file in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state, country or jurisdiction, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of that Party or of its assets, (b) proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, (c) shall be served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition shall not be dismissed within [*] days after the filing thereof, (d) shall propose or be a party to any dissolution or liquidation, or (e) shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties intend for this Agreement and the licenses granted herein to come within Section 365(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and notwithstanding the bankruptcy or insolvency of SGI, this Agreement and the licenses granted herein shall remain in full force and effect so long as Genmab shall remain in material compliance with the terms and conditions hereof.
14.6Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, termination of this Agreement (either in its entirety or with respect to one (1) or more countries or other jurisdiction(s)) in accordance with the provisions hereof shall not limit remedies that may otherwise be available in law or equity.
14.7Accrued Rights; Surviving Obligations. Termination or expiration of this Agreement 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, ARTICLE 1 (to the extent defined terms are used in any other surviving provisions), the first sentence of Section 3.7.5, Section 3.7.6, Section 4.5, Section 5.7 (and with respect to amounts owed or rights accrued prior to termination or expiration of this Agreement, Sections 5.1-5.6), Section 8.1.2, the last sentence of Section 10.2, Section 10.3, Section 11.1, Section 11.2 (with respect to ownership of Product Trademarks and use of Other Marks), Section 11.5, Section 11.7, ARTICLE 12, ARTICLE 13, this ARTICLE 14, ARTICLE 15, ARTICLE 16 and ARTICLE 17 of this Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the license granted by Genmab to SGI under Section 2.4.2 of the Collaboration Agreement with respect to the Product is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in all respects, including with respect to the payment of royalties hereunder during the Royalty Term on a country-by-country basis, (b) such license with respect to the Product for the Royalty Territory shall survive the expiration of the Royalty Term under this Agreement on a country-by-country basis as a royalty-free, fully paid-up license, and (c) references to the “Commercialization Plan” in Section 2.4.2 of the Collaboration Agreement shall be deemed to be references to this Agreement. For the further avoidance of doubt, (i) the license granted by SGI to Genmab under Section 2.1.2 of the Collaboration Agreement with respect to the Product is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in all respects, including (in the event that one or more Affected Region(s) have been deemed part of the Genmab Royalty Territory pursuant to Section 14.3.2(b)) with respect to the payment of royalties hereunder during the Royalty Term on a country-by-country basis, (ii) such license with respect to the Product for the Genmab Royalty Territory shall survive the expiration of the Genmab Royalty Term under this Agreement on a country-by-country basis as a royalty-free, fully paid-up license, and (iii) references to the “Commercialization Plan” in Section 2.1.2 of the Collaboration Agreement shall be deemed to be references to this Agreement.
ARTICLE 15 INDEMNIFICATION
15.1Indemnification. Subject to Section 15.3, each Party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, such Party’s “Indemnitees”) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (collectively, “Losses”), resulting from all Third Party claims, suits, actions, or
90
[*] = Certain information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both not material and is the type of information that we treat as private or confidential.
CONFIDENTIAL
demands (collectively, the “Claims”) to the extent that such Losses are incurred, relate to or arise out of (a) the material breach of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties with respect to the Product by the indemnifying Party or its Affiliate (or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by such Party in this Agreement), (b) the gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the indemnifying Party or its Affiliate in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or (c) solely with respect to SGI as the indemnifying Party, SGI’s Development, Manufacturing, and Commercialization of the Product in the Royalty Territory.
15.2Indemnification Procedure.
15.2.1A Party believing that it or its Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification under Section 15.1 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any Claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such Claim by a Third Party (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Claim as provided in this Section 15.2 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice). Subject to any written agreement by the Parties to the contrary, within [*] after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If a Party believes that a Claim presented to it for indemnification is one as to which the Party seeking indemnification is not entitled to indemnification under Section 15.1, it shall so notify the Party seeking indemnification.
15.2.2If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense with its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnified Party, unless the representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceedings, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.
15.2.3In any event, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the other Party reasonably apprised of the status of such Claim and the defense thereof (including by providing copies of pleadings and such other documents, information, and correspondence reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party) and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto.
15.2.4The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Claim without the prior Party Written Consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or adversely affects the Indemnified Party without the prior Party Written Consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
15.3Treatment of Manufacturing Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Collaboration Agreement, the Parties agree to share equally in that portion of Manufacturing Losses that is included as Allowable Expenses or Development Costs hereunder.
15.4No Consequential or Punitive Damages. EXCEPT (A) FOR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (B) FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 13, AND (C) TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A CLAIM

CONFIDENTIAL
FOR WHICH A PARTY PROVIDES INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 15 OR UNDER ANY RELATED MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING 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 ANY RELATED MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR THE USE OF THE PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
15.5Effect on Collaboration Agreement. For clarity, the provisions of this ARTICLE 15 shall supersede the provisions of Section 18.2 of the Collaboration Agreement with respect to any right to indemnification by either Party for Claims to the extent that such Claims relate to or arise out of this Agreement or the performance of obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Product.
ARTICLE 16 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
16.1 Disputes. The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise that relate to decisions to be made by one or more of the Committees provided for herein or to the Party’s respective rights or obligations hereunder. It is the desire of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to arbitration or litigation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree that, except for disputes regarding Party Tactical Matters or other matters for which a Party has final decision-making authority hereunder or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 23.3 of the Collaboration Agreement shall apply if and when a dispute arises under this Agreement; provided, that if such dispute is regarding a matter to be decided or agreed upon by a Committee as set forth herein, then the terms of Section 2.10.5 or Section 3.5.2, as applicable, shall first apply. For clarity, any dispute as to whether or not a matter (a) is a Party Tactical Matter, (b) requires Joint Committee Consent, (c) is a matter to which Section 2.10.5 applies, or (d) is subject to a Party’s final decision-making authority hereunder shall be resolved, in each case ((a) through (d)), in accordance with this Section 23.3 of the Collaboration Agreement; except, that with respect to all dispute resolution procedures for matters hereunder to be resolved in accordance with Section 23.1 of the Collaboration Agreement, notwithstanding any provision in Section 23.1 of the Collaboration Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Parties agree that they will not challenge the jurisdiction or authority of the arbitration panel to decide the dispute or the arbitrability or admissibility of the relevant dispute and (ii) any dispute submitted to the arbitrator(s) that fell within the decision-making responsibilities of any Committee, Team, or Working Group in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the arbitrator(s) must render their decision applying the substantive law of the state of New York and based on the principles of maximizing the value and reasonable commercial potential of the Product.
ARTICLE 17 MISCELLANEOUS
17.1 [*]. To the extent permissible under Applicable Law, each Party agrees that, during the Term, neither it nor any of its Affiliates that participates in or is responsible for activities for the Product pursuant to this Agreement shall [*] conducted by the other Party or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement [*] with such other Party or Affiliate and [*]. For purposes of the foregoing, [*]. This Section 17.1 shall not

CONFIDENTIAL
restrict either Party or any of its Affiliates from [*] or [*].
17.2Maintenance of Records. Each Party shall, and shall require its Affiliates to, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause its permitted sublicensees and Approved Subcontractors to, keep and maintain accurate and complete records of activities performed by or on behalf of such Party or any of its Affiliates, permitted sublicensees and Approved Subcontractors in connection with its or their activities under this Agreement (including records for Patent purposes), as well as all records required by Applicable Law with respect to the Product, and shall make copies of such records available to the other Party upon request. The Parties’ and their Affiliates’ obligations under this Section 17.2 shall continue for the longer of (a) five (5) years following the activity with respect to which the applicable records relate and (b) any applicable time period under Applicable Law.
17.3Force Majeure. No Party (or any of its Affiliates) shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party (or any of its Affiliates), or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached the Agreement, for failure or delay by such Party (or any of its Affiliates) in fulfilling or performing any term of the Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party (or any of its Affiliates), including fire, floods, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, epidemics, pandemics, riots, civil commotions, acts of God, earthquakes, or omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental Authority (“Force Majeure”); provided, however, that the affected Party shall (a) promptly notify the other Party in writing of the existence of the Force Majeure, and (b) exert all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to eliminate, cure or overcome any such Force Majeure and to resume performance hereunder promptly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an event of Force Majeure continues for a period in excess of [*], the affected Party shall promptly notify in writing the other Party of such continued event of Force Majeure and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith (i) a resolution of the event of Force Majeure, if possible, (ii) an extension by mutual agreement of the time period to resolve, eliminate, cure, or overcome such Force Majeure, (iii) an amendment of this Agreement to the extent reasonably possible, or (iv) an early termination of this Agreement. If the Parties do not reach such resolution within an additional [*] period (or such period is not extended by mutual agreement of the Parties), the non-affected Party may terminate this Agreement on [*] days advance written notice to the other Party. This Section 17.3 supersedes Section 19.1 of the Collaboration Agreement with respect to the Product.
17.4Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor, except as expressly provided hereunder, may any right or obligations hereunder be assigned, transferred or delegated to any Third Party by either Party without the consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that either Party may, without such consent but with notification, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder [*]. Any permitted assignee shall assume all rights and obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement not in accordance with this Section 17.4 shall be void and of no effect. This Agreement shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, each Party, its successors and permitted assigns. This Section 17.4 expressly supersedes Section 20.1 of the Collaboration Agreement and shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to the assignability of the Collaboration Agreement. Additionally, this Agreement may only be assigned together with the Collaboration Agreement (in its entirety or in its entirety with respect to the Product), and the Collaboration Agreement (in its entirety or in its entirety with respect to the Product) may only be assigned together with this Agreement.
17.5Severability. Each Party hereby agrees that it does not intend to violate any public policy, statutory or common laws, rules, regulations, treaty or decision of any government agency or executive body thereof of any country or community or association of countries. Should one or more provisions of this Agreement be or become invalid, the Parties hereto shall substitute, by mutual Party Written Consent, valid

CONFIDENTIAL
provisions for such invalid provisions, in their economic effect, are sufficiently similar to the invalid provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have entered into this Agreement based on such valid provisions. In case such alternative provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity of one or several provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid provisions.
17.6Insurance. The insurance provisions of Article 22 of the Collaboration Agreement shall apply to the activities conducted hereunder.
17.7Notices. All notices, consents or waivers under this Agreement shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when: (a) delivered in person; or (b) delivered by first class air mail or internationally recognized courier service, postage prepaid, addressed to the other Party at its address indicated below, or to such other address as the addressee shall have last furnished in writing to the address to the other Party in accordance with this Section 17.7.

Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including,” the phrase “for example” and the abbreviation “e.g.,” shall each be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” The word “any” shall mean “any and all” unless otherwise clearly indicated by context. The word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or) unless the context otherwise requires.
17.9.3Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein or therein), (b) any reference to any Applicable Law herein shall be construed as referring to such Applicable Law as from time to time enacted, repealed or amended, (c) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include the Person’s successors and permitted assigns, (d) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (e) references to “drugs” or pharmaceutical products or therapies include biological products or therapies, and (f) all references herein to Articles, Sections or Schedules, unless otherwise specifically provided, shall be construed to refer to Articles, Sections and Schedules of this Agreement.

17.14Affiliates.
17.14.1Except as provided in this Section 17.14, either Party may perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement through one or more Affiliates (but only for so long as such Person is and remains an Affiliate of such Party); provided, that such Party shall remain fully liable for the obligations under this Agreement and any acts or omissions of such Affiliates. Each Party shall cause its respective Affiliates to comply fully with the provisions of this Agreement to the extent such provisions specifically relate to, or are intended to specifically relate to, such Affiliates, as though such Affiliates were expressly named as joint obligors hereunder. In addition, notwithstanding any limitations in the Collaboration Agreement, each Party shall have the right to extend the rights, licenses, immunities and obligations granted in this Agreement and the Collaboration Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates (but only for so long as such Person is and remains an Affiliate of such Party) and any such extension to Affiliates under the Collaboration Agreement prior to the Effective Date is hereby deemed approved. All applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Collaboration Agreement shall apply to any such Affiliate to which this Agreement has been extended to the same extent as such terms and provisions apply to the extending Party.
17.14.2To the extent required by Applicable Law, the Parties shall cause their relevant local Affiliates in any country in the Territory to enter into local agreements to implement the arrangements provided for in this Agreement. Such implementing agreements shall be in forms mutually agreed by the Parties and shall be, in all material respects, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including by having termination provisions that are not inconsistent with ARTICLE 14.
17.15No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver
