3.5 Development of Replacement Products.
3.5.1 Commencement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, MedImmune may
elect to commence development of a Replacement Product, as a follow-on product to the Lead Product,
contemporaneously with the development or Commercialization of the Lead Product, or as a substitute
for the then-current Lead Product. If MedImmune intends to commence development of a Replacement
Product, then MedImmune will provide Micromet with written notice of such intention. Each such
notice will identify the cell surface antigen of the proposed Replacement Product (i.e. [***]) and
the desired specifications of the BiTE Molecule for the proposed Replacement Product.
3.5.2 Substitution of Lead Product. If MedImmune elects to develop a Replacement Product as a
substitute for the then-current Lead Product, such Replacement Product will be deemed the new Lead
Product upon approval of a Research Plan for such product by the JDC, and MedImmune may discontinue
development of the replaced Lead Product; provided, however, that if MT103 is replaced in this way,
MedImmune will continue with the development of the Commercial Process for MT103 under the terms of
this Agreement for so long as Micromet is continuing development of MT103 outside the Territory.
3.5.3 Research Plan. Promptly after submission of an antigen for a proposed Replacement
Product pursuant to Section 3.5.1, the JPT will prepare a plan for the construction of BiTE
Molecules binding to such antigen, and the pre-clinical development of Replacement Products binding
to such target up to and including the filing of an IND for such products (each such plan, a
“Research Plan”). Each such Research Plan will provide for Micromet to construct the BiTE
Molecules and, if applicable, to perform any re-engineering thereof, and will include a detailed
set of features or specifications for such BiTE Molecules. Each Research Plan will include a
budget of the costs and expenses to be incurred by the Parties and their subcontractors in the
performance of the tasks and activities described in such Research Plan. Any changes to the
Research Plan, including changes to the target dates included in the Research Plan or the budget,
will be discussed in the JPT. The JPT will submit each Research Plan to the JDC for approval.
Promptly after the JDC approves a Research Plan developed by the JPT, the JPT will meet to prepare
a Development Plan for the applicable Replacement Product, as set forth in Section 2.2.2 of this
Agreement. The JPT will update each Research Plan for approval by the JDC from time to time, but
in any case at least semi-annually.
3.5.4 Creation and Selection of BiTE Molecules. No later than [***] after the approval of
each Research Plan by the JDC, Micromet will commence with the construction of BiTE Molecules, and
will create BiTE Molecules that meet the specifications contained in such Research Plan. Micromet
will present the JDC with any BiTE Molecules meeting the applicable criteria, and the JDC may
select one or more of such BiTE Molecules as a Replacement Product
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |

and expenses for research activities that are not included in the applicable Research Plan or costs
and expenses in excess of the amount included in the budget of such Research Plan, unless such
costs and expenses have been approved in writing by the JDC in advance. MedImmune will pay any
costs and expenses incurred by Micromet in the performance of any activities provided for in the
Research Plan [***] within [***] after receipt of a corresponding invoice from Micromet that
estimates the costs and expenses for such quarter. Micromet will provide quarterly reports on its
activities under such Research Plan and the costs and expenses for such activities. If such report
reveals that Micromet’s actual, documented costs and expenses were lower than the amount paid by
MedImmune in advance for such quarter, the overpayment will be credited to the next payment due to
Micromet under this Section 3.5.5(a). If such report reveals that Micromet’s actual, documented
costs and expenses were higher than the amount paid by MedImmune in advance for such quarter,
MedImmune will make a supplemental payment for the unpaid amount within [***] days after receipt of
such report. In any event, Sections 3.2.4(d) and (e) will govern the allocation of costs incurred
by the Parties in connection with any Development Activities for Replacement Products.
(b) If MedImmune elects to develop a Replacement Product as a substitute for the then-current
Lead Product and Micromet (i) has discontinued development of Licensed Product outside the
Territory, and (ii) elects to participate in such development, then this Section 3.5.5(b) will
govern the allocation of costs incurred by the Parties in connection with the performance of the
Research Plan for such Replacement Product. The Parties will share the costs and expenses incurred
by the Parties in the performance of activities under such Research Plan as follows: [***]% by
MedImmune and [***]% by Micromet; provided, however, that if Micromet discontinues development of
MT103 during the performance of a Research Plan for a

17
new Lead Product, Micromet will only be obligated to share the costs and expenses incurred by
the Parties after the date of such discontinuation. Each Party’s employees will be charged on an
hourly basis at the FTE Rate. Goods and services provided by Third Parties specified and agreed
upon in the Research Plan that are paid by a Party will be charged at [***]. In no event will a
Party be obligated to make any payments to the other Party for research activities that are not
included in the applicable Research Plan or that are in excess of [***]% of the amount included in
the budget of such Research Plan for a calendar year, unless such expenses have been approved in
writing by the JDC in advance. In no event will a Party be obligated to incur costs and expenses
for research activities that are not included in the applicable Research Plan or costs and expenses
in excess of the amount included in the budget of such Research Plan, unless such costs and
expenses have been approved in writing by the JDC in advance. Each Party will provide quarterly
reports on its activities under such Research Plan and the costs and expenses for such activities
and the Parties will make any payments due under this Section 3.5.5(b) in arrears based on such
quarterly reports. In any event, Sections 3.2.4(d) and (e) will govern the allocation of costs
incurred by the Parties in connection with any Development Activities for Replacement Products. If
Micromet does not elect to participate in the development of a Replacement Product under this
Section 3.5.5(b), then Micromet will not itself or through any Third Party (through a license or
otherwise) develop or Commercialize such Replacement Product outside the Territory, except pursuant
to Section 3.5.5(d).
(c) If Micromet has constructed a BiTE Molecule as a Replacement Product and selected such
BiTE Molecule for further development in a pre-clinical development program, and such selection is
contemporaneous with the development or Commercialization of the Lead Product under this Agreement,
then Micromet will provide MedImmune with written notice of such selection.
(i) If MedImmune elects to participate in the development of such Replacement Product and
MedImmune informs Micromet in writing of such election within [***] after receipt by MedImmune of
Micromet’s notice of selection, then (a) the provisions of Section 3.5.5(b) will govern the
allocation of costs incurred by the Parties in connection with the performance of the Research Plan

*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
18
(d) If a Party that has not elected to participate in the development of a Replacement Product
pursuant to Section 3.5.5(b) (in the case of Micromet) or Section 3.5.5(c)(ii) (in the case of
MedImmune), and such Party desires to commence such participation, such Party may provide written
notice of such desire to the other Party at any time. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parties
will meet to discuss and negotiate in good faith the commercial terms upon which the
non-participating Party will commence such participation.
3.5.6 Discontinuation. MedImmune will have the right to terminate research with respect to
Replacement Products and the activities under a Research Plan with respect thereto by 3 months
prior written notice to Micromet, and after the expiration of such 3-month period, MedImmune will
no longer be obligated for costs and expenses incurred by Micromet with respect to such Replacement
Products. During such 3-month period, MedImmune will be responsible for the costs and expenses
that are reasonably incurred in terminating the activities under the Research Plan, including
without limitation any ongoing personnel costs for Micromet employees engaged in such activities,
to the extent such employees cannot be reassigned to other projects.
3.6 Consequences of Substitution of MT103.
3.6.1 If MedImmune elects to discontinue development of MT103 and develop a Replacement
Product as the new Lead Product, and if Micromet obtains Marketing Approval for MT103 in Europe
prior to the [***], Micromet will have the right, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary (including, without limitation, MedImmune’s exclusive right to market Licensed Products in
the Territory), to develop MT103, file a BLA and XXXx, and obtain Marketing Approval for MT103 in
the Territory.
3.6.2 MedImmune will have the right to reacquire the license to Commercialize MT103 in the
Territory by providing written notice thereof to Micromet within [***] after receiving written
notice from Micromet that it has obtained Marketing Approval of MT103 in the US, and by paying with
such notice any milestone payments set forth in Section 10.2 that have not already been paid with
respect to a new Lead Product. Within [***] after exercising such right, MedImmune will pay to
Micromet [***]% of the amount corresponding to [***]% of any [***] with respect to MT103 after the
date that MedImmune has discontinued the development of MT103. MedImmune will pay the remaining
[***]% of such [***] either (a) as a lump sum payment on the first anniversary of the date on which
MedImmune has provided notice under this Section 3.6.2, or (b) in the form of a royalty of [***]%
on Net Sales of MT103 in the Territory by MedImmune, its Affiliates or their sublicensees in
addition to the royalties payable pursuant to Section 10.4.1; provided, however, that any remaining
amounts due to Micromet will bear interest of [***]% per annum compounded annually until the
payment has been made in full; and provided, further, that any amounts remaining unpaid will be due
and payable with the last royalty payment due for MT103 under this Agreement.
3.6.3 If MedImmune does not provide any notice within the [***] period set forth in Section
3.6.1, or provides notice that it declines to exercise its right to reacquire the
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
19
license to Commercialize MT103 in the Territory, Micromet will be free to Commercialize MT103
in the Territory alone or with or through a Third Party.
4. Supply of Licensed Product
4.1 Clinical Supply of Licensed Product. As provided in this Section 4, upon establishing a
manufacturing process suitable for producing Clinical Trial Materials, MedImmune itself or through
a Third Party will manufacture and supply Clinical Trial Materials, in accordance with Applicable
Law and cGMP, for clinical trials to be performed pursuant to each Development Plan.
4.2 Supply Price, Forecasting and Purchase Orders. Upon establishing a manufacturing process
suitable for producing Clinical Trial Materials, MedImmune will supply Micromet with Micromet’s
requirements of such Clinical Trial Materials at [***] for such Clinical Trial Materials. If
Micromet orders such Clinical Trial Material for use in Pivotal Trials, then MedImmune will
manufacture any such Clinical Trial Material using the applicable Commercial Process or a clinical
scale process, as unanimously determined by the JDC. Micromet will provide to MedImmune rolling
forecasts of its requirements of such Clinical Trial Materials. The frequency and forward-looking
time period of such forecasts will be determined by the JDC. Micromet will place purchase orders
for such Clinical Trial Material as needed for the performance of clinical trials by Micromet in
accordance with the Development Plan. Each purchase order will specify the delivery dates for the
quantities ordered; provided, however, that MedImmune will not be required to supply such Clinical
Trial Materials earlier than a certain number of days after receipt of a purchase order from
Micromet. The number of days for the lead time will be determined by the JDC. Should MedImmune at
any time during the term of this Agreement have reason to believe that it will be unable to meet an
agreed upon delivery date of a shipment after submission of the relevant purchase order, then
MedImmune will promptly notify Micromet of the cause for such delay and the steps to be undertaken
by MedImmune to make up lost time. MedImmune will supply each of Micromet’s licensees of Licensed
Product with its respective requirements of such Clinical Trial Materials at [***] for such
Clinical Trial Material, and each such licensee will be entitled to the rights and privileges set
forth in this Agreement with respect to such Clinical Trial Material; provided, however, that such
licensee agrees to comply with the terms and conditions applicable to Micromet’s purchase of such
Clinical Trial Material hereunder from MedImmune and MedImmune is made a Third Party beneficiary
thereof with the right of enforcement.
4.3 Packaging, Shipping and Delivery. MedImmune will fill, release, package and label
Clinical Trial Materials for shipment using due care and in accordance with Applicable Laws and the
specifications set forth in the Development Plan. Any packaging and labeling material for such
Clinical Trial Materials to be used in countries outside the Territory will be provided by
Micromet, at the cost and expense of Micromet. MedImmune will ship such Clinical Trial Materials
[***] (Incoterms 2000) MedImmune’s facility by a common carrier designated by Micromet in the
applicable purchase order. Each shipment will be made according to the delivery schedule and in
the amounts specified in the applicable purchase order,
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
20
and under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Each shipment will include a
certificate of analysis and such other documentation as may be requested on the applicable purchase
order.
4.4 Risk of Loss. Risk of loss of Clinical Trial Materials will be transferred to Micromet
upon delivery to the carrier, and thereafter with respect to any loss thereof, Micromet will be
responsible for payment to MedImmune for such Clinical Trial Materials.
4.5 Invoice and Payment. MedImmune will enclose an invoice with each shipment of Clinical
Trial Materials made pursuant to this Section 4 setting forth a detailed account of the quantities
of such Clinical Trial Materials included in such shipment and a good faith estimate of the [***]
for such Clinical Trial Materials. Within [***] of acceptance by Micromet of a shipment of such
Clinical Trial Materials, Micromet will pay the full amount of the estimated [***] set forth in the
relevant invoice. Within [***] after each shipment of Clinical Trial Materials provided to
Micromet under this Section 4, MedImmune will calculate the actual [***] for such shipment and will
provide Micromet with written notice of such [***] and, within [***] of receipt of such notice,
Micromet will pay the difference between the actual [***] for such Clinical Trial Materials and the
amounts paid by Micromet based on MedImmune’s estimate of the [***] for such Clinical Trial
Materials, or MedImmune will reimburse any amount of overpayment, as the case may be.
4.6 Warranties. MedImmune hereby warrants that any Clinical Trial Materials provided by
MedImmune to Micromet under this Agreement, at the time of delivery pursuant to Section 4.3 above:
(a) will conform to the specifications for such Clinical Trial Materials set forth in the
Development Plan (the “Specifications”), and (b) will have been manufactured and shipped to
Micromet in accordance with cGMP and other Applicable Laws (the “Product Warranties”).
4.7 Acceptance of Clinical Trial Materials. Micromet will have 60 days after receipt of each
shipment of Clinical Trial Materials (such period, the “Acceptance Period”) to review such shipment
and test the Clinical Trial Materials therein. If Micromet believes that the Clinical Trial
Materials do not comply with the Product Warranties, then Micromet will deliver to MedImmune
written notice of rejection (the “Rejection Notice”) of such Clinical Trial Materials, stating in
reasonable detail the basis for such assertion of non-compliance with the Product Warranties. Any
Clinical Trial Materials not rejected within such 60 day period will be deemed to be accepted by
Micromet; provided, however, that Micromet thereafter may send a Rejection Notice for Clinical
Trial Material promptly following the discovery of any failure to comply with the Product
Warranties if (a) such non-compliance was not reasonably discoverable within such 60-day period
(each such non-compliance a “Latent Defect”), and (b) such non-compliance is discovered within 12
months following receipt by Micromet of the applicable shipment of Clinical Trial Materials. If a
Rejection Notice is received by MedImmune during the Acceptance Period, or thereafter as permitted
with respect to Latent Defects, then MedImmune and Micromet will provide one another with all
related paperwork and records
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
21
(including, but not limited to, quality control tests) relating to the production of the
Clinical Trial Materials in question or the Rejection Notice.
4.8 Disputes Regarding Clinical Trial Materials.
4.8.1 MedImmune and Micromet will attempt to resolve any dispute regarding the conformity of a
shipment of Clinical Trial Materials with the Product Warranties. If such dispute cannot be
settled within 30 days of the submission by each Party of such related paperwork and records to the
other Party, then such dispute will be resolved as set forth in this Section 4.8.
4.8.2 If the Clinical Trial Materials are alleged not to conform with the Product Warranties
set forth in Section 4.6(a), then Micromet will submit a sample of the batch of the disputed
shipment to an independent testing laboratory of recognized repute selected by Micromet and
approved by MedImmune (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) for analysis, under Quality
Assurance approved procedures, of the conformity of such shipment of Clinical Trial Materials with
the applicable Specifications. The costs associated with such analysis by such independent testing
laboratory will be paid by the Party whose assessment of the conformity of the shipment of Clinical
Trial Materials with the Specifications was mistaken. The determination by the independent testing
laboratory, will be final and binding.
4.8.3 If the Clinical Trial Materials are alleged not to conform with the Product Warranties
set forth in Section 4.6(b), then such dispute will be submitted to an arbitrator located in the
state where the Clinical Trial Materials are manufactured. Such arbitrator will have adequate
scientific background and training and will be selected jointly by Micromet and MedImmune. Such
arbitrator, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the Judicial Arbitration and
Mediation Services (“JAMS”), will determine whether the Clinical Trial Materials were
non-conforming with the Product Warranties set forth in Section 4.6(b), and such arbitrator’s
findings, will be final and binding. The costs and expenses associated with the retention of such
arbitrator will be paid by the Party whose assessment of the conformity of the shipment of Clinical
Trial Materials with the Product Warranties was mistaken.
4.9 Remedies for Non-Conforming Clinical Trial Materials. In the event that the Parties
agree, or an independent testing laboratory or an arbitrator determines, pursuant to Section 4.8,
that all or a portion of a shipment of Clinical Trial Materials materially fails to conform to the
Product Warranties, then, as the sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, Micromet will not be
obligated to make any payment for such non-conforming Clinical Trial Materials and MedImmune will
reimburse any payments for such materials previously received from Micromet. Further, MedImmune
will produce for Micromet sufficient quantities of Clinical Trial Materials to replace the
non-conforming portion of such shipment of Clinical Trial Materials, in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.
4.10 Audits and Inspections.
4.10.1 A delegation consisting of representatives of Micromet and its licensees that are to be
supplied Licensed Product by MedImmune under this Agreement, no more than once per calendar year,
will have the right to inspect and audit any MedImmune facility where a
22
Commercial Process is implemented, and the documentation generated in connection with the
manufacture and testing of Licensed Product; provided, however, that Micromet will be entitled to
perform an additional audit in the event that an inspection by a regulatory authority results in a
determination that the facilities in which Licensed Product are manufactured fail to comply with
Applicable Law in such a manner as may affect the supply of Licensed Product hereunder. Such
inspections will take place during regular business hours with at least 60 days prior notice to
MedImmune. Micromet will discuss the results of any inspection with MedImmune. Any inspection by
Micromet, if it occurs, does not relieve MedImmune of its obligation to comply with all Applicable
Laws and does not constitute a waiver of any right otherwise available to Micromet.
4.10.2 A representative of Micromet and its licensees that are to be supplied Licensed Product
by MedImmune under this Agreement will have the right to be present as a silent observer at any
announced visits to MedImmune by any regulatory authority relating to the manufacture of Licensed
Product. Furthermore, MedImmune will inform Micromet of the results of any inspection by a
regulatory authority that does or could reasonably be expected to affect the manufacture of
Licensed Product. MedImmune will promptly provide Micromet with copies of notifications from any
regulatory authority (including, without limitation, any Form No. 483 notification, Enforcement
Inspection Reports, Notice of Adverse Finding, etc.). Micromet will treat all information subject
to review under this Section 4.10 in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and will cause
any Third Party auditor retained by Micromet (and reasonably acceptable to MedImmune) to enter into
a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with MedImmune obligating such auditor to
maintain all such information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.
4.11 Commercial Supply of Licensed Product.
4.11.1 Commercial Supply Agreement. MedImmune will inform Micromet of the completion of
development of each Commercial Process. At such time, Micromet may request that MedImmune supply
Licensed Product in bulk form (i.e. filled vials, unlabelled and unpackaged) for use and sale
outside the Territory. If MedImmune elects to undertake the supply of Licensed Product to Micromet
or its licensees, then the Parties will enter into a supply agreement setting forth the terms and
conditions of the manufacture and supply (the “Commercial Supply Agreement”).
4.11.2 Supply Price; Royalty.
(a) Each Commercial Supply Agreement will provide that the supply price of Licensed Product
intended for commercial sale outside the Territory will be [***]% of the [***] so long as such
amount exceeds [***]% of [***] of Micromet or its licensees outside the Territory. If [***]% of
[***] is less than or equal to [***]% of [***], then the supply price will be the lesser of [***]%
of [***] or [***]% of [***] of Micromet or its licensees outside the Territory.
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
23
(b) If MedImmune has transferred a Commercial Process pursuant to Section 5 below and Micromet
obtains Licensed Product for commercial sale either by manufacturing Licensed Product itself or by
engaging a Third Party for the manufacture and supply of Licensed Product for commercial sale using
the Commercial Process transferred by MedImmune, without material changes thereto, then Micromet
will pay MedImmune a royalty of [***]% of Net Sales of such Licensed Product by Micromet, its
Affiliates or licensees. At the time when the total royalty payments by Micromet to MedImmune
under this Section 4.11.2(b) equal [***], plus an interest charge of [***]% per annum on the unpaid
principal, the royalty rate will be adjusted as set forth in Exhibit F.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.11.2(b) above, Micromet will have no
obligation to pay royalties on Net Sales in Japan if the Commercial Process transferred to Micromet
by MedImmune, at the time of such transfer, is not compliant with Japanese cGMP and Applicable Law.
5. Transfer of Manufacturing Process
5.1 Transfer Triggers. In accordance with Section 5.2 and upon 60 days advance written notice
to MedImmune, MedImmune will transfer to Micromet the then-current Commercial Process: (1) if
MedImmune does not desire to supply Licensed Product to Micromet; or (2) upon request of Micromet.
In each case, the Party whose decision triggers the transfer will provide the other Party with
written notice at least 60 days before such transfer. MedImmune cannot provide notice under this
Section 5.1 until such time as it has completed the development of the applicable Commercial
Process. Except upon termination of all the licenses granted to MedImmune, Micromet cannot provide
notice under this Section 5.1 before MedImmune has completed the development of the applicable
Commercial Process if and for so long as MedImmune is developing such Commercial Process as set
forth in the applicable Development Plan unanimously approved by the JDC. Micromet will pay
MedImmune: (a) upon process transfer at Micromet’s request, a technology transfer fee equal to the
amount of any reasonable and documented expenses at the FTE Rate as well as any reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by MedImmune in the course of effecting such process
transfer, or (b) upon process transfer for any other reason under this Section 5.1, a technology
transfer fee equal to the amount of any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by MedImmune in the course of effecting such process transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, no
payment shall be due under the preceding sentence if the transfer results from a termination of the
licenses granted to MedImmune in the entirety pursuant to Section 15.2.
5.2 Manufacture During Process Transfer. During any transfer of Commercial Process made
pursuant to Section 5.1 above and until such time as Micromet or a contract manufacturer designated
by Micromet has established and validated such Commercial Process and is approved to manufacture
commercial supplies of the applicable Licensed Product (but in no event longer than [***] after the
applicable triggering event described in Section 5.1 above), MedImmune will continue to supply such
Licensed Product to Micromet at [***] for Clinical Trial Materials, and at the supply price set
forth in Section 4.11.2 pursuant to the Commercial
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
24
Supply Agreement. Except as provided in this Section 5.2, upon receipt of the written notice
pursuant to Section 5.1, MedImmune will no longer have an obligation to manufacture such Licensed
Product for Micromet.
5.3 Technology Transfer. As part of any Commercial Process transfer made pursuant to this
Section 5, MedImmune will provide Micromet with technical reports and materials for process
development activities completed at the time of such transfer that are relevant to and would be
required to perform such Commercial Process as performed by MedImmune at such time and for
regulatory filings (including but not limited to any master cell banks, working cell banks,
fermentation processes, recovery steps established, process validation, product identity assays,
in-process-control assays, relevant standard operating procedures, blueprints of facilities,
information regarding equipment and the layout thereof, etc.), as well as samples of the working
cell bank prepared at MedImmune, and technical methods for assays required for the applicable
process. At the option of MedImmune in lieu of providing Micromet with recipes for the cell
culture media and nutrient feeds used in the applicable process, MedImmune itself or though a Third
Party may provide Micromet at cost with such cell culture media and nutrient feeds. Micromet will
not, directly or indirectly, take any steps to ascertain the recipe of any such cell culture media
or nutrient feeds provided by MedImmune. MedImmune will provide to Micromet, or at the discretion
of MedImmune to the applicable regulatory agencies, all necessary CMC documentation relating to
such cell culture media and nutrient feeds required for regulatory filings for the applicable
Licensed Product.
5.4 Subsequent Process Transfer by Micromet. To the extent that Micromet has rights under
this Agreement to use a Commercial Process, Micromet will have the right to use a Third Party to
manufacture Licensed Product by means of a Commercial Process transferred to Micromet pursuant to
this Section 5 and to transfer to such Third Party the Know-How transferred to Micromet by
MedImmune in connection with the transfer of such Commercial Process; provided, however, that such
Third Party enters into a confidentiality agreement with MedImmune containing confidentiality and
non-use obligations substantially similar to those set forth in this Agreement with respect to
Confidential Information of MedImmune. Except as provided in this Section 5.4, Micromet will not
transfer such Know-How to any Third Party.

exclusive remedy for such failure, Micromet will have the right to terminate all the licenses
granted to MedImmune under this Agreement with respect to such Licensed Product in such country
pursuant to Section 15.2.
6.4 Adverse Drug Experiences. To the extent either Party receives any information regarding
adverse drug experiences related to the use of Licensed Product, such Party will promptly provide
the other Party with such information as is required under Applicable Laws. Prior to the first
commercial launch of Licensed Product by either Party, the Parties will agree on standard operating
procedures implementing the requirements under Applicable Laws regarding adverse event reporting,
which procedures, as may be amended from time to time upon mutual agreement of the Parties, will be
incorporated in this Agreement by reference.
6.5 Branding, Trademarks, Trade Dress, and Logos.
6.5.1 MedImmune will have sole responsibility for all trademarks, trade dress, logos, slogans,

within 180 days of written notice thereof from Micromet to MedImmune, then Micromet will have the
right to bring such action at the cost and expense of Micromet with counsel selected by Micromet.
MedImmune, at its cost and expense, will have the right to be represented by counsel in any such
action brought by Micromet.
9.2.3 Enforcement Actions for MedImmune Technology. MedImmune will have the first right (but
not the obligation) to take the appropriate steps to remove the infringement or alleged
infringement of Independent MedImmune Technology and MedImmune Collaboration Technology, including
by initiation, prosecution and control at its own expense of any suit, proceeding or other legal
action by counsel of its own choice. Micromet will have the right, at its own expense, to be
represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If MedImmune fails to bring such an
action in the Territory under MedImmune Collaboration Technology with respect to a Third Party
making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing Licensed Product within 180 days of written
notice thereof from Micromet to MedImmune, then Micromet will have the right to bring such action
at the cost and expense of Micromet with counsel selected by Micromet. MedImmune, at its cost and
expense, will have the right to be represented by counsel in any such action brought by Micromet.
9.2.4 Cooperation; Damages. If one Party brings any enforcement action or proceeding under
this Section 9 with respect to Licensed Product, the other Party agrees to be joined as party
plaintiff if necessary to prosecute the action or proceeding and to give the first Party reasonable
assistance and authority to file and prosecute the suit; provided, however, that neither Party will
be required to transfer any right, title or interest in or to any property to the other Party or
any other party to confer standing on a Party hereunder. The Party bringing the action will have
the right to control such action, including the settlement thereof, provided, however, that no
settlement will be made that adversely affects the validity, enforceability or scope of a Patent
included in Licensed Technology unless agreed to in writing by both Parties. Any damages or other
monetary awards recovered pursuant to any suit, proceeding or other legal action taken under this
Section 9.2 will be allocated first to the costs and expenses of the Party bringing suit, and
second to the costs and expenses (if any) of the other Party that were authorized by the Party
bringing the suit, with any remaining amounts (if any) to be allocated to the Party bringing suit
and if the amount is allocated to MedImmune, such amount will be Net Sales subject to royalty under
this Agreement.
9.3 Third Party Patents. If any notice of infringement is received by, or a suit is initiated
against, either Party with respect to Licensed Product, the Parties will consult in good faith
regarding the best response. In each case, the Party that is sued will have the sole right to
34
defend such action. If MedImmune is required to make any payments to any Third Party with
respect to the development, manufacture, use or sale of Licensed Product as a result of such
action, MedImmune will be entitled to offset such payments against the royalties otherwise due and
payable by MedImmune under this Agreement to Micromet as provided in Section 10.4.3.
10. Fees and Payments
10.1 Technology Access Fee. MedImmune will pay to Micromet a non-refundable, non-creditable
annual technology access fee of €[***] in equal quarterly installments, each payable within 30
days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter during the first 2 years following the
Effective Date. The Parties will negotiate the amount of the annual technology access fee, if any,
payable during each year thereafter.
10.2 Development Milestones. MedImmune will make the following non-refundable, non-creditable
payments to Micromet in the amounts set forth below within 30 days of the occurrence of the
following events with respect to each Licensed Product in the Territory:
Milestone Event | Milestone Payment | |||
1.
|
Upon filing of the first IND or equivalent filing in any country of the Territory | US$[***] | ||
2.
|
First patient enrolled in first Pivotal Trial for any country of the Territory | US$[***] | ||
3.
|
Filing of the first BLA for such Licensed Product | US$[***] | ||
4.

Filing of the second BLA for such Licensed Product | US$[***] | ||
5.
|
Approval of the first BLA for such Licensed Product | US$[***] | ||
6.
|
Approval of the second BLA for such Licensed Product | US$[***] |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Lead Product is not MT103, then MedImmune will not be
required to make any milestone payment that MedImmune has earlier paid in connection with the
development of a predecessor of the then-current Lead Product.
10.3 Commercialization Milestones. MedImmune will make the following non-refundable one-time
payments to Micromet in the amounts set forth below within 30 days of the occurrence of the
following events with respect to Licensed Product sold in the Territory by MedImmune, its
Affiliates or sublicensees:

|
US$[***] |
[***]% of the milestone payments made pursuant to this Section 10.3 are creditable against the
royalties due to Micromet pursuant to Section 10.4 below; provided, however, that MedImmune may
take such credit only to the extent that each such royalty payment due to Micromet is not reduced
by more than [***]% of the payment that would be due without such credit.
10.4 Royalties.
10.4.1 Royalty Rates.
(a) Subject to the adjustments provided for in Section 10.4.3 MedImmune will pay to Micromet a
royalty equal to:
(i) [***]% of Net Sales of Licensed Product in the Territory for that portion of the total
amount of aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Product in the Territory during a calendar year that is
less than or equal to US$[***];
(ii) [***]% of Net Sales of Licensed Product in the Territory for that portion of the total
amount of aggregate Net Sales of all Licensed Product in the Territory during a calendar year that
is greater than US$[***] but less than or equal to US$[***]; and
(iii) [***]% of Net Sales of Licensed Product in the Territory for that portion of the total
amount of aggregate Net Sales of all Licensed Product in the Territory during a calendar year that
is greater than US$[***].
(b) In the event that a Licensed Product is sold in combination with a therapeutically active
component that is not a Licensed Product (“Combination Product”), then net sales (calculated as Net
Sales) of such Combination Product upon which a royalty is paid will be subject to the following
adjustment. If the Licensed Product and the other therapeutically active component of the
Combination Product are sold separately in a country, then net sales of such Combination Product in
such country upon which a royalty is paid will be multiplied by the fraction A/A+B, where A equals
the average sales price of such Licensed Product sold separately in such country, and B equals the
average sales price of the other therapeutically active component sold separately in such country.
Otherwise, the parties will enter into good faith negotiations and attempt to reach mutual
agreement to determine an appropriate adjustment to
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
36
the net sales of such Combination Product in a
country to reflect the relative contributions of the Licensed Product and the other therapeutically
active component to the value of the Combination
Product in such country. If such mutual agreement is not reached within ninety (90) days
after commencement of such negotiations, then the determination will be submitted to binding
arbitration under Section 20.4.3.
(c) Only one royalty will be due and payable for the manufacture, use and sale of Licensed
Product irrespective of the number of Valid Claims within the Licensed Technology that cover the
manufacture, use and sale of Licensed Product. Upon payment of a royalty under this Agreement with
respect to a unit of Licensed Product, no further royalty will be due with respect to such unit of
Licensed Product.
10.4.2 Royalty Term. Royalties due under the preceding Section 10.4.1 for Licensed Product
will continue until the later of: (i) the expiration of the last-to-expire Patent within the
Licensed Technology containing a Valid Claim claiming or covering Licensed Product in the country
of the Territory where sold, or (ii) [***] from the first commercial sale of such Licensed
Product in the Territory (the “Royalty Term”).
10.4.3 Royalty Adjustments.
(a) In the event that one or more Third Parties sell a Licensed Product in a country of the
Territory that does not infringe a Valid Claim of a Patent that is Licensed Technology and the
sales of such Licensed Product by such Third Parties amounts to [***] percent ([***]%) of
MedImmune’s sales of Licensed Product in such country in a calendar year, then the royalty payable
by MedImmune pursuant to Section 10.4.1 on Licensed Product in such country for such calendar year
will be reduced to [***]%. If sales by such Third Parties are only for a portion of a calendar
year, the [***]% of MedImmune’s sales will be determined over such portion of the calendar year.
(b) MedImmune may credit up to [***]% of any Technology Acquisition Payments that may become
due as a result of the development or Commercialization of Licensed Product by MedImmune against
the amount of any royalties due and payable by MedImmune pursuant to Section 10.4.1; provided,
however, that in no event will such credit reduce the amount of royalties due and payable by
MedImmune to Micromet to less than [***]% of Net Sales of Licensed Product.
(c) The royalty rate adjustments set forth in Sections 10.4.3 (a) and (b) are not cumulative
and in no event will the application of one or both of such adjustments reduce the royalty payable
by MedImmune pursuant to Section 10.4.1 on Licensed Product to less than [***]% of Net Sales of
Licensed Product.
11. Payment Terms
11.1 Payment Method. All amounts due to Micromet will be paid in EURO and those due to
MedImmune will be paid in United States Dollars, in each case by wire transfer in
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
37
immediately
available funds to an account designated by the Party that is the payee. The conversion for
royalties will be made at the exchange rate reported in the Wall Street Journal,
Eastern Edition on the last business day of the calendar quarter for which royalties are
payable, and in all other cases at such exchange rate on the date that the payment is due. Any
payments or portions thereof due hereunder which are not paid on the date such payments are due
under this Agreement will bear interest at the lower of (i) [***]% over the overnight LIBOR rate in
effect on the due date, or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law, calculated on the number of days
such payment is delinquent, compounded monthly.
11.2 Payment Schedules; Reports. Royalty payments due pursuant to Sections 4.11.2 and 10.4
are due and payable within [***] of the end of each calendar quarter during the Term during which
there were Net Sales of the applicable product in the Territory. A Party will accompany each
payment of royalties under this Agreement with a report containing a detailed account of Net Sales
of each product for which royalties are due during the preceding calendar quarter.
11.3 Records Retention; Audit.
11.3.1 Record Retention. Each Party will maintain complete and accurate books, records and
accounts used for the determination of expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the
Development Plan and Net Sales, in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of any payments
required under this Agreement, which books, records and accounts will be retained by such Party
until [***] years after the end of the period to which such books, records and accounts pertain.
11.3.2 Audit. Each Party will have the right to have an independent certified public
accounting firm of internationally recognized standing, reasonably acceptable to the other Party,
have access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, to such of the
records of the other Party as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of any payments
made to or received from the other Party for any calendar quarter ending not more than [***] prior
to the date of such request; provided, however, that no Party will have the right to conduct [***].
The accounting firm will disclose to the Parties only whether the development expenses or Net
Sales reported by the audited Party are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning
any discrepancies. The auditing Party will bear all costs of such audit, unless the audit reveals
a discrepancy in the audited Party’s favor of more than [***]%, in which case the audited Party
will bear the cost of the audit. The results of such accounting firm will be final, absent
manifest error.
11.3.3 Payment of Additional Amounts. If, based on the results of any audit, additional
payments are owed to a Party under this Agreement, the amount of such payments will be credited
against future amounts payable by such Party to the other Party under this Agreement; provided,
however, that if such additional payments are not fully credited within [***] months after the
receipt of the applicable audit results, the Party owing such additional payments will at such time
pay the other Party any uncredited amounts thereof.

3.2.6(d), 3.2.7(a) and 6.3.2, together with any definitions used or exhibits referenced therein,
will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. In addition, the provisions set

extent such provisions are necessary to effect the activities described in this Section 16.

granted under this
Agreement, so long as MedImmune pays to Micromet the royalties applicable to such subsequent sales
in accordance with the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement.
16.7 Sublicenses. In the event that a Party’s licenses under this Agreement are terminated
with respect to one or more countries, and a sublicense has been granted under this Agreement under
any such licenses by such Party with respect to Licensed Product in any such country, then this
Agreement will become an agreement between the Party whose licenses were not terminated and any
such sublicensee with respect to Licensed Products in any such country, subject to such sublicensee
agreeing to be bound to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that this
Section 16.7 will not apply with respect to any sublicensee that is in breach of the applicable
sublicense agreement or would be in breach of this Agreement upon the conversion of the applicable
sublicense as contemplated herein; and provided, further, that MedImmune’s obligations to supply
Clinical Trial Materials and Licensed Product for commercial sale, and to develop the Lead Product
Process may not be transferred to any sublicensee pursuant to this Section 16.7.
17. Indemnification and Insurance
17.1 Indemnification of Micromet. MedImmune will indemnify Micromet and its Affiliates, and
their respective directors, officers, and employees (each, a “Micromet Indemnitee”), and defend and
save each of them harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any and all
liability suits, investigations, claims or demands (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or
occurring as a result of any claim or lawsuit by a Third Party against a Micromet Indemnitee, to
the extent caused by or arising out of: (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part
of MedImmune, its Affiliates or sublicensees in performing any activity contemplated by this
Agreement, or (b) the development or Commercialization of Licensed Product in the Territory by
MedImmune, its Affiliates or sublicensees (other than Licensed Product provided to Micromet or its
Affiliates or licensees); in each case, excluding any Losses for which Micromet has an obligation
to indemnify one or more MedImmune Indemnitees pursuant to Section 17.2.
17.2 Indemnification of MedImmune. Micromet will indemnify MedImmune, its Affiliates, and
their respective directors, officers, and employees (each, a “MedImmune Indemnitee”), and defend
and save each of them harmless from and against any and all Losses arising from or occurring as a
result of any claim or lawsuit by a Third Party against a MedImmune Indemnitee, to the extent
caused by or arising out of: (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
Micromet, its Affiliates or sublicensees in performing any activity contemplated by this Agreement,
(b) the development or Commercialization of Licensed Product outside the Territory by Micromet, its
Affiliates or sublicensees (and countries inside the Territory in the event that Micromet’s license
is extended to countries of the Territory under Section 16.3.1 and/or 16.3.2), or (c) the research,
development, manufacture or sale of BiTE Product by Micromet, its Affiliates or sublicensees
pursuant to a license granted to Micromet under this Agreement; in each case, excluding any Losses
for which MedImmune has an obligation to indemnify one or more Micromet Indemnitees pursuant to
Section 17.1.
46
17.3 Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims in respect of any MedImmune Indemnitee or
Micromet Indemnitee seeking indemnity under Sections 17.1 or 17.2 (collectively, the “Indemnitees”
and each an “Indemnitee”) will be made solely by the corresponding Party (the “Indemnified Party”).
The Indemnified Party will give the indemnifying Party (the
“Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses
or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for
indemnification under Section 17.1 or Section 17.2, but in no event will the Indemnifying Party be
liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification
Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the
extent that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time). The Indemnified Party will
furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in
respect of any Losses.
17.4 Control of Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any
claim subject to indemnification as provided for in Sections 17.1 and 17.2 (each, a “Third Party
Claim”) by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after the Indemnifying
Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party
Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim
any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes
the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will immediately deliver to the
Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any
Indemnitee in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnifying Party assume the
defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party
or any other Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or
other Indemnitee in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim.
17.5 Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 17.4, any Indemnitee will be
entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ
counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment will be at the
Indemnitee’s own expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
Indemnifying Party in writing, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and
employ counsel in accordance with Section 17.4 (in which case the Indemnified Party will control
the defense).
17.6 Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages
in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnitee’s becoming
subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnitee
in any manner other than by the payment of money damages, and as to which the Indemnifying Party
will have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder, the
Indemnifying Party will have the sole right to consent to the entry
of any judgment, enter into any
settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole
discretion, will deem appropriate, and will transfer to the Indemnified Party all amounts which
said Indemnified Party will be liable to pay prior to the entry of judgment. With respect to all
other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the
defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 17.4, the Indemnifying Party will have
authority to consent to the entry of any
47
judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose
of such Loss provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent
will be at the Indemnified Party’s sole and absolute discretion). The Indemnifying Party will not
be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnitee that is reached
without the written consent of the
Indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or
prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnitee will admit any liability with respect to, or settle,
compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party.
17.7 Cooperation. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute
any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will, and will cause each other Indemnitee to,
cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and will furnish such records, information and
testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings,
trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection with such Third Party Claim. Such
cooperation will include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to,
and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably
relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnitees and other employees and agents available
on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material
provided hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such cooperation.
17.8 Insurance. During the Term, each Party will have and maintain such types and amounts of
liability insurance as is normal and customary in the industry generally for parties similarly
situated, and will upon request provide the other Party with a complete copy of its policies of
insurance in that regard, along with any amendments and revisions thereto.
18. Representations and Warranties

standing under the laws of Delaware, and has full corporate power and authority and the legal right
to own and operate its property and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted and as it is contemplated to be conducted by this Agreement.
19. Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability
19.1 Disclaimer of Warranty. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT,
MEDIMMUNE AND MICROMET MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS AND GRANT NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER
IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, AND MEDIMMUNE AND MICROMET EACH
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR
ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE VALIDITY OF ANY PATENTS OR THE NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.
19.2 Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS
OF DATA, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER
CAUSED, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION AND ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL NOT APPLY TO AN AWARD OF ENHANCED DAMAGES AVAILABLE
UNDER THE PATENT LAWS FOR WILLFUL PATENT INFRINGEMENT AND WILL NOT LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY
AND OBLIGATIONS TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER SECTIONS 12 AND 17.
20. Miscellaneous
20.1 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be held liable or responsible to the other Party or be
deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or
performing any term of this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from
events beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods,
embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not),
50
insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God
or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority. The non-performing Party
will notify the other Party of such force majeure within 10 days after such occurrence by giving
written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and
any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance will be of
no
greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party will use
commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform; provided, however, that in the
event the suspension of performance continues for [***] after the date of the occurrence, the Party
not affected by such force majeure may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to
the other Party.
20.2 Assignment.
20.2.1 Neither Party will sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge or otherwise dispose of,
whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its
rights or duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which
consent will not be withheld or delayed unreasonably; provided, however, that either Party may
assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
the consent of the other Party (a) to any Affiliate of such Party, or (b) to any Third Party with
which it merges or consolidates, or to which it transfers all or substantially all of its assets to
which this Agreement relates. The assigning Party (unless it is not the surviving entity) will
remain jointly and severally liable with the relevant Affiliate or Third Party assignee under this
Agreement, and the relevant Affiliate assignee, Third Party assignee or surviving entity will
assume in writing all of the assigning Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Any purported
assignment or transfer in violation of this section will be void ab initio and of no force or
effect.
20.2.2 Neither Party will assign or otherwise transfer ownership (in whole or in part), in the
case of Micromet, in and to Licensed Technology and, in the case of MedImmune, in and to MedImmune
Collaboration Technology and/or MedImmune Independent Technology, in each case only as to
MedImmune, with respect to any Licensed Product or Commercial Process without the prior written
consent of the other Party; provided, however, that a Party may assign such interest in whole
without such consent (a) to an Affiliate of such Party, (b) in connection with the transfer or sale
of all or substantially all of its business, or (c) to any Third Party with which it merges or
consolidates; provided, however, that such assignment is in connection with a permitted assignment
of this Agreement and to the same assignee as to which this Agreement is assigned, that such
assignment is subject to this Agreement, and that the assignee assumes in writing the assigning
Party’s obligations under this Agreement.
20.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party
under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will
be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, (c) the
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
51
remaining
provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement, and (d) in
lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a
part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in
terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably
acceptable to the Parties.
20.4 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.
20.4.1 This Agreement, and any claim, dispute, or controversy of whatever nature arising out
of or relating to this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to any principles of choice of law that would
require the application of the laws of a different state or country.
20.4.2 The Parties will try to settle their differences amicably between themselves. If any
claim, dispute, or controversy of whatever nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
including the performance or alleged non-performance of a Party of its obligations under this
Agreement arises between the Parties (each a “Dispute”), a Party may notify the other Party in
writing of such Dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within 20 days of
receipt of the written notice by the other Party, such dispute will be referred to the Chief
Executive Officers of each of the Parties who will use their good faith efforts to resolve the
Dispute within [***] after such referral.
20.4.3 If a Dispute is not resolved as provided in the preceding Section 20.4.2, whether
before or after termination of this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree to resolve such Dispute by
final and binding arbitration administered under the rules of arbitration of JAMS by one arbitrator
appointed in accordance with the said Rules, provided that upon request of either Party, three
arbitrators will be appointed. If the Parties are unable to mutually select such panel, the panel
will be selected in accordance with the procedures of JAMS. The decision and award rendered by the
panel will be final and binding. In any such arbitration, the arbitrators will not have the right
to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As a result, the rights and obligations of
the Parties will be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
any decision or award will be only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The Parties will exert best efforts to have the decision and award rendered within [***] after the
first to occur of (i) notice of breach of this Agreement, which breach is a subject of the
arbitration, and (ii) a notice invoking this arbitration provision. Judgment upon the award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any arbitration pursuant to this section will be
held in Washington, D.C. or such other place as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the
Parties. With respect to any disputes arising in connection with an alleged breach of a Party’s
rights and obligations with respect to confidential Know-How or Confidential Information received
from the other Party, the arbitrator will apply the discovery provisions of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. This means that depositions may be taken and full
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
52
discovery may be obtained in
any arbitration commenced under this Section 20.4 with respect to such disputes.
20.4.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 20.4, either Party will have the right
to seek temporary or permanent injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction
as may be available to such Party under the laws and rules applicable in such jurisdiction.
Further, the provisions of this Section 20.4 will not apply with respect to any claim of a Party
that the other Party is infringing any of its patents.
20.5 Notices. All notices or other communications that are required or permitted hereunder
will be in writing and delivered personally, sent by facsimile (and promptly confirmed by personal
delivery or overnight courier as provided in this Agreement), or sent by internationally-recognized

Party in writing in accordance with this Agreement. Any such communication will be deemed to have
been given (i) when delivered, if personally delivered or sent by facsimile on a business day, and
(ii) on the second business day after dispatch, if sent by internationally-recognized overnight

day-to-day business communications necessary between the Parties in performing their duties, in due
course, under the terms of this Agreement.
20.6 Entire Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement (including any Exhibits, Schedules, or
other attachments hereto, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein) sets forth and
constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject
matter of this Agreement and all prior agreements, understanding, promises and representations,
whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded by this Agreement, including the
Confidentiality Agreement between the Parties dated December 11, 2002; provided, however, that no
agreement between the Parties executed contemporaneously with this Agreement will be so superseded
by this Agreement. Each Party confirms that it is not relying on any representations or warranties
of the other Party except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. No amendment or
modification of this Agreement will be binding upon the Parties unless in writing and duly executed
by authorized representatives of both Parties.
20.7 Relationship of the Parties. It is expressly agreed that the relationship between the
Parties is and will be that of independent contractors, and that the relationship between the
Parties will not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither Party will have the
authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any
action, which will be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other to do
so. All persons employed by a Party will be employees of such Party and not of the other Party and
all costs and obligations incurred by reason of any such employment will be for the account and
expense of such Party.
20.8 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party
that is entitled to the benefit of such term or condition, but no such waiver will be effective
unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such
term or condition. The waiver by either Party of any right under this Agreement or of claims based
on the failure to perform or a breach by the other Party will not be deemed a waiver of any other
right under this Agreement or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a
similar nature or otherwise.
54
20.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be
deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
20.10 No Benefit to Third Parties. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their successors and
permitted assigns, and they will not be construed as conferring any rights on any other parties.
20.11 Further Assurance. Each Party will duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly
executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and
things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements, documents and
instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request in connection
with this Agreement or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes, or to better
assure and confirm unto such other Party its rights and remedies under this Agreement.
20.12 English Language. This Agreement has been written and executed in the English language.
Any translation into any other language will not be an official version hereof, and in the event
of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English
version will control.
20.13 Construction. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular
will include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender will be applicable to all
genders, and the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or). The captions of this Agreement
are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope or
intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement. The term
“including” as used herein means including, without limiting the generality of any description
preceding such term. References to “Section” or “Sections” are references to the numbered sections
of this Agreement, unless expressly stated otherwise.

NOTES:
|
(1 | ) | Studies to validate viral clearance; additional viruses and process steps to be evaluated. | |||
(2 | ) | Additional EOP testing (retroviral quantitation) may be needed on the unpurified bulk; next CTM production (either CMO or MEDI) | ||||
(3 | ) | MCB testing doesn’t fulfill the safety requirements in FDA PTC for mfg of mAbs (XC assay, RT assay, and in vivo adventicious agents) | ||||
(4 | ) | Develop a two-sided binding assay; Biacore for CD3 and CD19. | ||||
(5 | ) | Additional assays needed to quantify removal of process and product-related contaminants. | ||||
(6 | ) | Develop a robust assay; consider generating an anti-idotype antibody assay. | ||||
(7 | ) | Conduct TCR studies with MT103 compound to show binding to tissues known to be positive and negative for CD3 and CD19. | ||||
(8 | ) | Conduct general toxicity study in non-relevant species at high MT103 dose level. |
