In the event that, at any time and from time to time during the twenty-four (24) month period after the Effective Date, (a) Celldex in good faith identifies additional items (including Biological Materials) or rights within the Celldex Focus Area that were owned or controlled by Medarex as of the Effective Date and that Celldex believes should have been assigned, licensed or physically transferred to Celldex by Medarex pursuant to this Agreement but which were not so assigned, licensed or physically transferred, or (b) Medarex determines in good faith that it requires items or rights outside the Celldex Focus Area, which items or rights were assigned, exclusively licensed or physically transferred (and, in the case of physical transfer, no original or copy remains with Medarex from which Medarex can produce duplicates) to Celldex pursuant to this Agreement, then, in the case of either (a) or (b), the applicable Party shall notify the other Party in writing with respect to the relevant items or rights, providing in such notice a detailed explanation and the requested resolution with respect to such items or rights. Thereafter, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an appropriate outcome with respect to the identified items or rights; provided, that in any event any return or grant back to Medarex by Celldex must first be approved by Celldex's Conflict of Interest Committee (or such other committee as is comprised solely of independent directors); and provided, further, that in the event that the Parties are unable to agree upon such appropriate outcome, then the non-requesting Party shall have the right to make the final determination with respect to the resolution of such request. For avoidance of doubt, the definition and use of the term "Celldex Focus Area" is strictly for purposes of this Section 2.7 and shall not be deemed to limit in any way any grant hereunder or any ability of Celldex to engage in its business after the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 3

LICENSES TO CELLDEX; RETAINED RIGHTS.

3.1 Licensed Products.

3.1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Medarex hereby grants to Celldex an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free (with respect to Medarex) license, with the right to

sublicense as provided in Section 3.8.1, under the Medarex Technology to research, develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import Licensed Royalty-Free Products solely in the Antibody Targeting Technology Field.

3.2.1 Medarex hereby grants to Celldex an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense as provided in Section 3.8.1, under the HuMAb Technology to research, make, have made, transfer physical possession of (but not to sell, lease, offer to sell or lease, or otherwise transfer title to) the Hybridoma Cell Lines.

3.2.2 Medarex hereby grants to Celldex a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense as provided in Section 3.8.1, under the Research Patent to conduct research.

3.3 Research Antibodies.

3.3.1.1 License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Medarex hereby grants to Celldex an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license, without the right to sublicense, under the HuMAb Technology and the Medarex Technology to use the Research Antibodies for the sole purpose of determining the antigen with respect to which each Research Antibody was raised. The process by which Celldex will make such determination shall be as set forth on Appendix E.

3.3.1.2 Mannose Antigen Determination. In the event that Celldex determines pursuant to the process set forth on Appendix E that the antigen against which a Research Antibody was raised is the mannose receptor antigen, such antibody shall no longer be deemed a Research Antibody, but, subject to Section 3.4, shall be deemed an Anti-Mannose Receptor Antibody.

3.3.1.3 Other Antigen Determination. In the event that Celldex determines pursuant to the process set forth on Appendix E the antigen against which a Research Antibody was raised (each, a "Research Antibody Target") and such Research Antibody Target is not the mannose receptor antigen, Celldex shall have the right to request that Medarex determine availability of an antibody-exclusive commercial license pursuant to Section 3.4. In the event that (i) such license is available with respect to such Research Antibody and (ii) the right to use the applicable Research Antibody Target with the HuMAb Technology does not conflict with any right previously granted by Medarex, then Medarex does hereby grant to Celldex, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, an antibody-exclusive, antigen-nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing (as set forth in Article 4) license, with the right to sublicense as provided in Section 3.8, under HuMAb Technology and the Medarex Technology to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import Licensed Products comprising such Research Antibody in the Antibody Targeting Technology Field.

3.4 HuMAb Technology License Availability. In the event Celldex desires to obtain an assignment of a given Anti-Mannose Receptor HuMAb Antibody pursuant to Section 2.2.2 or 3.3.1.2 or a license to a given Research Antibody pursuant to Section 3.3.1.3, Celldex shall provide Medarex with

a detailed written description of [*****] and such other information as Medarex may reasonably request. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of all such information, Medarex shall determine whether or not it can effect such assignment or license. Medarex shall not be obligated to effect a requested assignment or license only if, at the time the assignment or license is requested by Celldex, Medarex is (i) already conducting an internal program with respect to such antigen or antibody (either alone or with a collaborator), (ii) in discussions with a Third Party in good faith to obtain or grant exclusive rights to such antigen or antibody, or (iii) legally prohibited from granting such assignment or license, whether pursuant to a Third Party agreement or otherwise.

3.5 Covenant Not to License or Use; Medarex Option.

3.5.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and notwithstanding any rights Medarex may have to do so, [*****] Medarex has granted a license to Celldex with respect to such Research Antibody pursuant to Section 3.3.1.3, Medarex agrees that it will not thereafter license to any Third Party, use or permit any of its Affiliates to use such Research Antibody outside the Antibody Targeting Technology Field (it being understood that Celldex has exclusive rights thereto in the Antibody Targeting Technology Field).

3.5.2 In the event that a claim issues in [*****], including any divisionals, continuations, continuation-in-parts, reissues and/or reexaminations of the foregoing, and/or any foreign counterpart applications of the foregoing, (the "Option Patents"), then Celldex shall promptly thereafter notify Medarex of such claim issuance, including a copy of the issued claim and any file history relating thereto. Any claim issuing from the Option Patents, whether composition or method, which is not specifically and solely directed to (i) the mannose receptor, including claims reciting mannose receptor antibody(ies), fragments and sequences, or (ii) an antibody, or fragment thereof, whereby the antibody or fragment serves as a targeting means with respect to an Antigen-Presenting Cell for the purpose of modulating an immune response in the manner described in clause (a) or (c) of Section 1.5, shall be deemed to be an "Option Claim". Celldex hereby grants to Medarex an option to obtain a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up license, with the right to sublicense, under the Option Patents to research, develop, make, use, sell, offer for sale, and import any product falling under an Option Claim, other than a product described by clause (i) or (ii) above. If Medarex elects, in its sole discretion, to exercise such option, Medarex shall notify Celldex of such election and upon the providing of such notice, Celldex shall automatically be deemed to grant such license to Medarex. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Medarex may not exercise an option, and shall not be entitled to a license hereunder, with respect to a claim in the Option Patents to the extent such claim is a composition of matter claim that specifically and solely claims the amino acid sequence of a single specific antibody.

3.6 Future Medarex Antigens. In the event that, before the third anniversary of the Effective Date, Medarex in-licenses rights with respect to antigens, which in-license expressly states and includes "vaccine rights", then within thirty (30) days of in-licensing such rights, Medarex shall provide written notice to Celldex of such event unless Medarex is prohibited from providing such notice and, unless Medarex is prohibited from doing so, and, if mutually agreed to by the Parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.6, Medarex shall grant rights within the Antibody Targeting Technology Field to Celldex with respect to such antigens, pursuant to the terms of any Third Party agreement under which Medarex has licensed such rights. Within fifteen (15) days of receiving such notice, Celldex shall provide written notice to Medarex whether it desires to negotiate with respect to such rights within the Antibody Targeting Technology Field. In the event that Celldex does so desire, the Parties

thereafter shall negotiate in good faith the terms pursuant to which Medarex may grant an exclusive or non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license to Celldex with respect to the applicable antigen in the Antibody Targeting Technology Field.

3.7 Existing Grants; No Other Rights.

3.7.1 Celldex acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the terms of the Cross License Agreement, Medarex has granted a non-exclusive license under certain Medarex patents to develop and commercialize antibody products with respect to antigens, which antibody product(s) could comprise the same antibody(ies) as a Licensed Antibody(ies) hereunder.

3.7.2 Other than the rights expressly granted under this Agreement, Celldex and its Affiliates shall have no other right, express or implied, under the HuMAb Technology, the Medarex Patents, or any other technology Controlled by Medarex, and Medarex shall retain for itself all such rights.

3.8 Sublicenses.

3.8.1 Subject to Section 3.8.2, Celldex may grant sublicenses under the licenses granted to Celldex in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 to the extent necessary to research, develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale or import Licensed Royalty-Free Products and Royalty-Bearing Products; provided, that within ten (10) days of the date any such sublicense is executed, Celldex shall provide Medarex with at least the following information with respect to each such Sublicensee: (a) the identity of the Sublicensee, (b) a description of the Licensed Royalty-Free Products and Royalty-Bearing Product and the rights being granted to the Sublicensee, and (c) the territory in which the Licensed Royalty-Free Products and Royalty-Bearing Product will be sold. Each sublicense granted by Celldex shall be consistent with and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Celldex shall remain responsible to Medarex for the compliance of each such Sublicensee with the applicable financial, confidentiality and other obligations due under this Agreement; provided, that with respect to obligations of confidentiality and indemnification, Celldex shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Sublicensee and Medarex enter into a direct mutual obligation.

3.8.2 The Parties recognize that, pursuant to the Cross License Agreement, Medarex may not grant Celldex the right to directly grant sublicenses under certain HuMAb Technology that is covered by the Cross License Agreement to sell, lease, and offer for sale or lease Royalty-Bearing Products. So long as such provisions are in effect, if Celldex grants or desires to grant a sublicense to a particular Sublicensee under the HuMAb Technology pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 to sell, lease, and offer for sale or lease a particular Royalty-Bearing Product, then Medarex shall enter into an agreement with such Sublicensee which grants a direct license to such Sublicensee under such of the HuMAb Technology that is covered by the Cross License Agreement to sell, lease, and offer for sale or lease such Royalty-Bearing Product on the same terms and conditions as the sublicense granted by or desired to be granted by Celldex to such Sublicensee ("Direct Sublicense Agreement"); provided, that each such Direct Sublicense Agreement granted by Medarex shall: (a) be consistent with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) provide that all performance obligations of such Sublicensee, including with respect to development and commercialization of Royalty-Bearing Products and payment of amounts owing under the sublicense granted to such Sublicensee by Celldex, shall be owed to Celldex and not to Medarex, (c) not conflict with any of the rights granted under this Agreement, (d) provide that Celldex is a third party beneficiary under such Direct Sublicense Agreement, with the right, at Celldex's expense, to enforce the terms and conditions of such Direct Sublicense Agreement against such Sublicensee, including the right to collect all monies due to Celldex from such Sublicensee under such Direct Sublicense Agreement, and (e) be subject to Celldex's approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Further, it is understood and agreed by Celldex that, in such sublicense granted by Celldex to such Sublicensee, Celldex shall make the rights related to such certain

HuMAb Technology granted by Medarex to Celldex subject to such direct license granted by Medarex to such Sublicensee, to the extent necessary such that the rights granted by Medarex to Celldex hereunder shall not be in conflict with the rights granted to such Sublicensee by Medarex under this Section 3.8.2.

ARTICLE 4
FINANCIAL PROVISIONS

4.1 Payments to Medarex.

4.1.1 Royalty Obligation. Subject to Section 4.2, with respect to each Royalty-Bearing Product, Celldex shall pay to Medarex a royalty on annual (based on a calendar year) aggregate worldwide Net Sales of Royalty-Bearing Products on a Royalty-Bearing Product-by-Royalty-Bearing Product basis as follows:

		Annual Net Sales per Royalty-Bearing Product		Royalty Rate
Portion of Annual Net Sales		í*****]
Portion of Annual Net Sales		[*****]

4.1.2 Third Party Payments. Celldex shall be responsible for the payment of any royalties, license fees and milestone and other payments due to (i) upstream licensors of Medarex, to the extent such obligation is disclosed to Celldex in a Third Party agreement provided by Medarex to Celldex on or before or within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, and (ii) Third Parties under license agreements for intellectual property licensed to Celldex by a Third Party, in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii) under a sublicense or license that is required to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import Licensed Products or Anti-Mannose Products; provided, however, that Medarex shall be solely responsible for any payments and royalties owed to the Medical Research Council, with respect to Royalty-Bearing Products, pursuant to that certain License Agreement dated as of October 1, 1993, as amended on August 12, 1994 and on April 19, 2002, by and among the Medical Research Council Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics Research of Babraham Hall, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx and GPI (the "MRC Agreement").

4.2 Royalty Rates and Term.

4.2.1 Royalty Term for Licensed Royalty-Bearing Products. With respect to the royalty rates for Licensed Royalty-Bearing Products, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Patent rights and Know-How licensed pursuant to this Agreement justify royalty rates of differing amounts with respect to sales of such Licensed Royalty-Bearing Products, which rates could be applied separately to Licensed Royalty-Bearing Products involving the exercise of such Patent rights and/or the incorporation of such Know-How, and that if such royalties were calculated separately, royalties relating to Patent rights and royalties relating to Know-How would last for different terms. The Parties have determined in light of such considerations and for reasons of convenience that blended royalty rates for the Patent rights and the Know-How licensed hereunder will apply during a single royalty term (which blended royalty rates would be advantageous to both Parties). Consequently, the Parties have agreed to adopt the royalty rates set forth in Section 4.1.1 hereof with respect to such products. The royalties due pursuant to Section 4.1.1 shall be payable on a country-by-country and Licensed Royalty-Bearing Product-by-Licensed Royalty-Bearing Product basis until the date which is the later of: (a) the expiration of the last to expire of the Valid Claims under the HuMAb Patents and the Medarex Patents, as applicable, covering the Licensed Royalty-Bearing Product in each country of sale of such Licensed Royalty-Bearing Product (such expiration to occur only after expiration of extensions of any nature to such Patents which may be obtained under applicable statutes or regulations in the respective countries, such as the Drug Price

Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 in the U.S.A. and similar Patent extension laws in other countries) to the extent that the sale of such Licensed Royalty-Bearing Product would, but for such license, infringe such Valid Claim, and (b) the tenth anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Royalty-Bearing Product in such country. Upon expiration of the royalty term with respect to a Licensed Royalty-Bearing Product in a country (other than as a result of the early termination of this Agreement), and payment to Medarex of all amounts due under this Agreement with respect to such Licensed Royalty-Bearing Product in such country, the applicable grants under Article 3 with respect to such Licensed Royalty-Bearing Product in such country shall become non-exclusive and fully paid-up.

4.2.2 Royalty Term for Anti-Mannose Products. In consideration for the transfer of the Anti-Mannose Receptor HuMAb Antibodies to Celldex by Medarex as part of the Assigned Assets, the Parties have agreed to adopt the royalty rates set forth in Section 4.1.1 hereof with respect to the Anti-Mannose Products. The royalties due pursuant to Section 4.1.1 shall be payable on a country-by-country and Anti-Mannose Product-by-Anti-Mannose Product basis until the date which is the later of: (a) the expiration of the last to expire of the Valid Claims under the HuMAb Patents and the Antibody Targeting Patents, as applicable, covering the Anti-Mannose Product in each country of sale of such Anti-Mannose Product (such expiration to occur only after expiration of extensions of any nature to such Patents which may be obtained under applicable statutes or regulations in the respective countries, such as the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 in the U.S.A. and similar Patent extension laws in other countries) to the extent that the sale of such Anti-Mannose Product would, but for such license, infringe such Valid Claim, and (b) the tenth anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of such Anti-Mannose Product in such country. Upon expiration of the royalty term with respect to an Anti-Mannose Product in a country (other than as a result of the early termination of this Agreement), and payment to Medarex of all amounts due under this Agreement with respect to such Anti-Mannose Product in such country, no further royalties or payments of any kind with respect to such Anti-Mannose Product shall be due hereunder.

4.2.3 Pending Patent Applications. The Parties acknowledge that Medarex has filed, and during the Term might file additional, applications for patents that, upon issuance, would constitute a Medarex Patent, Antibody Targeting Patent or HuMAb Patent. In respect of any such application that was prosecuted in good faith and for which a patent issues during the Term, the claims included in such issued patent (a "Subject Patent") shall, to the extent otherwise meeting the criteria set forth in the definition of Valid Claim, be deemed "Valid Claims" for purposes of computing royalties hereunder, commencing on the date of issuance of the Subject Patent. In addition, where Celldex would have owed additional royalties to Medarex hereunder for the period commencing on the filing date to which the application for a Subject Patent was entitled and ending on the date of issuance of the Subject Patent had the claims included in such Subject Patent been deemed Valid Claims from such filing date, then any such additional royalties shall be due retroactively from Celldex to Medarex in respect of such claims. Medarex shall promptly notify Celldex of the issuance of any Subject Patent, and Celldex shall calculate and pay within ninety (90) days following such notice any retroactive royalties payable under this Section 4.2.3 in respect of such Subject Patent, such payment to include interest at the then-current rate for a one-year U.S. Treasury Xxxx.

4.3 Royalty Payments. Running royalties due pursuant to Section 4.1.1 shall be payable on a quarterly basis, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, based upon the Net Sales during such Calendar Quarter, commencing with the Calendar Quarter in which the first sale of a Royalty-Bearing Product is made. Royalties shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP and with the terms of this Article 4. Only one royalty payment will be due on Net Sales of a given Royalty-Bearing Product even though the manufacture, sale or use of such Royalty-Bearing Product may be covered by more than one intellectual property right in a country or more than one Valid Claim, or may use both Patents and Know-How.

4.4 Royalty Statements. Celldex shall deliver to Medarex within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter in which Royalty-Bearing Products, for which Celldex owes a royalty hereunder, are sold, a detailed statement showing (a) Net Sales of each such Royalty-Bearing Product on a country-by-country basis during the applicable Calendar Quarter, and (b) the amount and calculation of royalties due on such Net Sales.

4.5 Payment Method. All amounts due by Celldex hereunder shall be paid in U.S. dollars by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Medarex. Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder which are not paid on the date such payments are due under this Agreement and not subject to good faith dispute, shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, on the first day of each calendar quarter in which such payments are overdue, plus one and one half (1.5) percentage points, or the maximum rate permitted by law, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent.

4.6 Currency; Foreign Payments. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with any payment hereunder, such conversion shall be made by using the exchange rate for the purchase of U.S. dollars as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, on the last business day of the calendar quarter to which such royalty payments relate.

4.7 Taxes. All royalty amounts required to be paid to Medarex pursuant to this Agreement may be paid with deduction for withholding for or on account of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by net income) or similar governmental charge imposed by a jurisdiction other than the United States ("Withholding Taxes"). At Medarex's request, Celldex shall provide Medarex a certificate evidencing payment of any Withholding Taxes hereunder and shall reasonably assist Medarex to obtain the benefit of any applicable tax treaty.

4.8 Records Retention; Audit.

4.8.1 Record Retention. Celldex shall maintain (and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall maintain) complete and accurate books, records and accounts that fairly reflect their respective Net Sales of Licensed Products in sufficient detail to confirm the accuracy of any payments required hereunder and in accordance with GAAP, which books, records and accounts shall be retained by Celldex (and such Affiliates and Sublicensees) until the later of (a) three (3) years after the end of the period to which such books, records and accounts pertain, and (b) the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof), or for such longer period as may be required by applicable law.

4.8.2 Audit. Medarex shall have the right to have an independent certified public accounting firm, reasonably acceptable to Celldex, have access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, to such of the records of Celldex (and its Affiliates and Sublicensees) as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of such Net Sales for any Calendar Quarter ending not more than thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of such request; provided, that Medarex shall not have the right to conduct more than one such audit in any twelve (12)-month period nor to audit any particular Calendar Quarter more than one time. The accounting firm shall disclose to each Party whether such Net Sales are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to Medarex. Medarex shall bear the cost of such audit unless the audit reveals a variance of more than five percent (5%) from the reported results for the entire period audited, in which case Celldex shall bear the cost of the audit. The results of such accounting firm shall be final, absent manifest error.

4.8.3 Payment of Additional Royalties; Credit. If, based on the results of such audit, additional payments are owed by Celldex under this Agreement, Celldex shall make such additional payments within forty-five (45) days after the date on which such accounting firm's

written report is delivered to Celldex. If such audit shows that Celldex has overpaid royalties to Medarex, then Celldex shall have the right to credit such amounts from Medarex.

4.9 Confidentiality. Medarex shall treat all information subject to review under Section 4.8, but not the reported results of such review, as Celldex's Confidential Information protected in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Article 5. Medarex shall cause its accounting firm to enter into with Celldex a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Celldex obligating such firm to maintain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

4.10 Reports to Medarex. During the Term, Celldex shall keep Medarex informed of its development and commercialization activities subject to this Agreement with respect to Royalty-Bearing Products, including the filing of an IND or the initiation of a clinical trial, and on January 31 of each year shall provide Medarex with a reasonably detailed written summary of such events and activities in the preceding year.

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Indemnification of Medarex. Celldex shall indemnify Medarex, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, 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 (a) any breach by Celldex of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement, (b) the failure of Celldex to assume, pay, perform and discharge any Assumed Liabilities, including any breach after the Effective Date of the Assigned Contracts, or (c) the exercise of rights granted by or on behalf of Medarex under this Agreement, including any infringement or Third Party personal injury or damage to tangible personal property resulting, in the case of each clause (a), (b) and (c) by or on behalf of Celldex or its Affiliates or Sublicensees. The foregoing obligation to indemnify, defend and save harmless shall not apply to the extent of any Losses for which Medarex has an obligation to indemnify Celldex pursuant to Section 8.2. For any such Losses as to which each Party has an indemnification obligation pursuant to the first sentences of Sections 8.1 and 8.2, each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of the indemnifying Party's respective fault (a Party's fault being defined by those categories for which it must indemnify the other Party pursuant to the first sentence of Section 8.1 or 8.2) for the Losses.

8.2 Indemnification of Celldex. Medarex shall indemnify Celldex and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses arising from or occurring as a result of (a) any breach by Medarex of its representations, warranties, covenants and obligations under this Agreement, (b) the failure of Medarex to assume, pay, perform and discharge any Retained Liabilities, including any breach prior to the Effective Date of the Assigned Contracts, or (c) the exercise of rights retained by or on behalf of Medarex under this Agreement in respect of any Humanized Anti-CD64 Antibody or Murine Anti-CD64 Antibody, or granted to Medarex pursuant to Section 3.5.2, including any infringement or Third Party personal injury or damage to tangible personal property resulting, in the case of each clause (a), (b) and (c) by or on behalf of Medarex or its Affiliates or licensees. The foregoing obligation to indemnify, defend and save harmless shall not apply to the extent of any Losses for which Celldex has an obligation to indemnify Medarex pursuant to Section 8.1. For any such Losses as to which each Party has an indemnification obligation pursuant to the first sentences of Sections 8.1 and 8.2, each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of the indemnifying Party's respective fault (a Party's fault being defined by those categories for which it must indemnify the other Party pursuant to the first sentence of Section 8.1 or 8.2) for the Losses.

8.3 Indemnification Procedure.

8.3.1 Notice of Claim. The indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice (an "Indemnification Claim Notice") of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, but in no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time). The indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses. All indemnification claims in respect of a Party, its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the "Indemnitees" and each an "Indemnitee") shall be made solely by such Party to this Agreement (the "Indemnified Party").

8.3.2 Third Party Claims. Subject to Section 6.4, the obligations of an indemnifying Party under this Article 8 with respect to Losses arising from claims of any Third Party that are subject to indemnification as provided for in Section 8.1 or 8.2 (a "Third Party Claim") shall be governed by and be contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions:

8.3.2.1 Control of Defense. At its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying Party's receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be

construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any Indemnitee's claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party. In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnitee in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party shall 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. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless an Indemnitee from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim with respect to such Indemnitee.

8.3.2.2 Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 8.3.2.1, any Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, that such employment shall be at the Indemnitee's own expense unless (a) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing, or (b) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 8.3.2.1 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense).

8.3.2.3 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, and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.3.2.1, the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The indemnifying Party shall 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 shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party.

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

8.3.2.5 Expenses. Except as provided above, the costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a calendar quarter basis by the indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the indemnifying Party's right to contest the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.
