Said reports shall be deemed Pfizer Confidential Information and not disclosed to any other party, other than XXXXX’x accountants, and such information and reports shall only be used for purposes of this Agreement; provided that, to the extent required by the UIRF License Agreement and the XXXX License Agreement, Xxxxx shall be permitted to disclose summaries of reports provided under this Section 6.3 by PFIZER to XXXXX, subject to appropriate confidentiality agreements, to each of UIRF and XXXX.

XXXXX, by independent qualified public accountants employed by XXXXX and reasonably acceptable to PFIZER, to examine such books and records at any reasonable time upon reasonable notice, but not later than three (3) years following the rendering of any corresponding reports, accountings and payments pursuant to Section 6.3. The foregoing right of examination may be exercised only once during any twelve (12)-month period. If any such examination shows an underpayment of more than five percent (5%) of the amount due for any applicable period, XXXXX shall have the right, by independent qualified public accountants employed by XXXXX and reasonably acceptable to PFIZER, to conduct an additional examination of the sales and royalty books and records to determine if the cause of the underpayment has been corrected. Any such examination shall be in addition to XXXXX’x annual right to examine such books and records and must be conducted during the twelve (12)-month period immediately following the completion of the examination which identified the underpayment of more than five percent (5%). Such accountants may be required by PFIZER to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement, and in no event shall such accountants disclose to XXXXX any information, other than such information as relates to the accuracy of reports and payments made or due hereunder. The opinion of such accountants regarding such reports, accountings and payments shall be binding on the parties, other than in the case of manifest error. XXXXX shall bear the cost of any such examination; provided that if the examination shows an underpayment of Royalty Payments of more than five percent (5%) of the amount due for the applicable period, then PFIZER shall promptly reimburse XXXXX for all costs incurred in connection with such examination. PFIZER shall promptly pay to XXXXX the amount of any underpayment of Royalty Payments (plus interest as provided in Section 6.4 above) revealed by an examination and review. Any overpayment of Royalty Payments by PFIZER revealed by an examination shall be fully creditable against future Royalty Payments due under Section 5.3.
6.6 Tax Matters. It is understood and agreed between the parties that any milestone payments made pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2 of this Agreement are inclusive of any value added tax imposed upon such payments. In addition, if any of the payments made by PFIZER pursuant to Section 5 become subject to withholding taxes under the Laws of any jurisdiction, PFIZER shall deduct and withhold the amount of such taxes for the account of XXXXX to the extent required by Law, all such amounts payable to XXXXX shall be reduced by the amount of taxes deducted and withheld, and PFIZER shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to XXXXX an official tax certificate or other evidence of such tax obligations, together with proof of payment from the relevant Governmental Authority of all amounts deducted and withheld sufficient to enable XXXXX to claim such payment of taxes. If any such withholding tax shall become payable as a result of an assignment by either party (as permitted by Section 15.7), then the assigning party shall promptly notify the other party of such assignment. XXXXX shall provide to PFIZER any tax forms (including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 and W-8BEN) that may be reasonably necessary in order for PFIZER to not withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. XXXXX shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to PFIZER at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for any payment for which XXXXX desires that PFIZER apply a reduced withholding tax rate. Any such withholding taxes required under applicable Law to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by, XXXXX. PFIZER will provide XXXXX with reasonable assistance to enable XXXXX to recover such taxes as permitted by Law.

XXXXX and PFIZER shall cooperate in connection with the continued prosecution and maintenance by XXXXX of the patents under the Xxxxx Patent Rights applicable to the Field, with XXXXX having responsibility for such activities. [********************************************************************************************* *******************************************************]. If PFIZER desires that XXXXX file any application for a patent on improvements and variations upon inventions disclosed in the patents under the Xxxxx Patent Rights applicable to the Field or otherwise relating to the Compound, any Research Compound or any Licensed Product, PFIZER shall advise XXXXX of such improvements, variations or inventions. Provided that XXXXX has no reasonable objection thereto, XXXXX shall thereupon file patent applications as requested, and PFIZER shall pay reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees for outside patent counsel, for filing and prosecuting such requested patent applications. XXXXX shall consult PFIZER and keep PFIZER informed of all material matters relating to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Xxxxx Patent Rights applicable to the Field, including, without limitation, any matters relating to the matter set forth on Schedule 10.1(a)(ii). In addition, XXXXX shall provide PFIZER with copies of all material correspondence with all applicable patent offices in such a manner as to allow PFIZER a meaningful opportunity to comment, and PFIZER shall have reasonable access to all documentation, filings and communications to or from the applicable patent offices. XXXXX, its agents and its attorneys shall give due consideration to all suggestions and comments of PFIZER regarding any aspect of such patent preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance. In addition, XXXXX shall take all necessary steps to maintain for the full life thereof all patents under the Xxxxx Patent Rights applicable to the Field. With respect to reasonable out-of-pocket costs in connection with the prosecution and maintenance of the Xxxxx Patent Rights applicable to the Field, PFIZER shall pay [****] of such costs for those patents listed in Section I of Exhibit A attached hereto and [****] of such costs for all other Xxxxx Patent Rights applicable to the Field. In addition, if, at any time, XXXXX licenses or otherwise transfers to a Third Party any Rejected Program ODN (as defined in the Screening and Evaluation Agreement) or any Rejected Candidate ODN (as defined in the Screening and Evaluation Agreement), XXXXX shall reimburse PFIZER for [****] of PFIZER’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by PFIZER in connection with the prosecution, filing and maintenance of the Xxxxx Patent Rights that relate to the Rejected Program ODN Patent Rights (as defined in the Screening and Evaluation Agreement) and Rejected Candidate ODN Patent Rights (as defined in the Screening and Evaluation Agreement), as applicable.

7.4 Interpretation of Patent Judgments. If any claim relating to a patent under the Xxxxx Patent Rights becomes in any country the subject of a judgment, decree or decision of a court, tribunal, or other authority of competent jurisdiction, which judgment, decree, or decision is or becomes final (there being no further right of review) and adjudicates the validity, enforceability, scope, or infringement of the same, the construction of such claim in such judgment, decree or decision shall be followed thereafter in such country in determining whether a product is licensed hereunder, not only as to such claim but also as to all other claims in the Territory to which such construction reasonably applies. If at any time there are in any country two or more conflicting final judgments, decrees, or decisions with respect to the same claim, the decision of the higher tribunal shall thereafter control in such country, but if the tribunal be of equal rank, then the final judgment, decree, or decision more favorable to such claim shall control unless and until the majority of such tribunals of equal rank adopt or follow a less favorable final judgment, decree, or decision, in which event the latter shall control.
7.5 Infringement Actions.
(a) XXXXX and PFIZER shall promptly notify each other of any infringement of or unauthorized use of any Xxxxx Patent Rights in the Field or Xxxxx Technology in the Field which may come to their attention to the extent that such infringement or unauthorized use relates to the Compound, any Research Compound or any Licensed Product. Subject to Section 7.5(b) below, PFIZER has the exclusive right, at its sole discretion and expense, to elect to undertake legal action with respect to any such infringement or unauthorized use or bring suit against any such infringer or unauthorized user. Any suit by PFIZER shall be either in the name of PFIZER, the name of XXXXX, or jointly by PFIZER and XXXXX, as may be required by the law of the forum.

Party, PFIZER shall, within sixty (60) days from the date of PFIZER’s board approval of such acquisition or merger, notify XXXXX of such merger or acquisition and as to whether PFIZER intends to divest its interest in such competing product. If PFIZER elects to divest its interest in such competing product, PFIZER shall use reasonable efforts to identify a Third Party purchaser to whom PFIZER will divest its interest in such competing product and to enter into a definitive agreement with such Third Party for such divestiture as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances (which may be subject to a Hold Separate Transaction (as defined below) as applicable). If PFIZER elects not to divest its interest in such competing product (other than as part of a Hold Separate Transaction) within six (6) months after the closing of the acquisition or merger for which PFIZER has provided XXXXX with notice, or if such divestiture is subject to the terms of a Hold Separate Transaction, within twelve (12) months after the closing of the acquisition or merger for which PFIZER has provided XXXXX with notice, then XXXXX shall have the option, upon notice to PFIZER given no later than ninety (90) days after the earlier of (i) PFIZER’s election not to divest such competing product and (ii) the end of such six (6) or twelve (12) month period described above, as applicable, to terminate this Agreement, such termination to be effective upon the expiration of such ninety (90)-day notice period, unless waived by XXXXX during such period.

PFIZER and XXXXX each agree to take such action, and to cause its Affiliates to take such action, to preserve the confidentiality of Xxxxx Confidential Information and/or Pfizer Confidential Information, as the case may be, as it would customarily take to preserve the confidentiality of its own confidential information. PFIZER and XXXXX each agree, upon the other’s request, to return all Xxxxx Confidential Information or Pfizer Confidential Information, as the case may be, disclosed to the other party pursuant to this Agreement, including all copies and extracts of documents, as promptly as practicable following such request upon the termination of this Agreement, except for one (1) copy which may be kept for the purpose of complying with continuing obligations under this Agreement.
(d) XXXXX and PFIZER each represent that all of its directors, officers, employees, and any subcontractors, consultants, investigators, licensees or agents of such party, who shall have access to Pfizer Confidential Information or Xxxxx Confidential Information are bound to maintain such information in confidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PFIZER may disclose Xxxxx Confidential Information (i) to Governmental Authorities (a) to the extent reasonably useful to obtain or maintain Regulatory Approvals, Price Approvals, privileges or rights for any Licensed Product within the Territory and (b) in order to respond to inquiries, requests or investigations; (ii) to outside consultants, scientific advisory boards, managed care organizations, contract manufacturers and non-clinical and clinical investigators to the extent reasonably useful to develop, manufacture, register or market any Licensed Product; provided that PFIZER shall obtain the same confidentiality obligations from such Third Parties as it obtains with respect to its own similar types of proprietary information; and (iii) to the extent reasonably useful to PFIZER in exercising its rights under this Agreement; provided that in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), PFIZER shall treat the Xxxxx Confidential Information in the same manner that it would treat its own similar types of proprietary information in similar situations.
(e) Nothing in this Section 9.1 shall be construed to limit the right of PFIZER’s or XXXXX’x clinical investigators to publish the results of their studies.
9.2 Publication. Subject to Section 9.1(e), none of XXXXX, its Affiliates, or any of its or its Affiliates’ employees, subcontractors, consultants, investigators, licensees or agents may publish or present any information, including, without limitation, the results of any work performed under the Screening and Evaluation Agreement, or preclinical or clinical studies with respect to the Compound, any Research Compound or any Licensed Product without PFIZER’s prior consent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion).

In addition, either party may make a public statement, including in analyst meetings, concerning this Agreement or the progress of the Compound, the Research Compounds or the Licensed Products where such statement: (a) is required by Law, applicable stock exchange regulation or legal proceedings, (b) concerns one of the events described in Schedule 9.3; provided that XXXXX may only make a public statement concerning one of the events described in Schedule 9.3 as follows: (i) jointly with PFIZER, (ii) with PFIZER’s prior consent and in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 9.3 or (iii) after PFIZER has made a public statement with respect thereto, so long as XXXXX’x public statement is consistent therewith; provided, further, that PFIZER shall either make a public statement concerning the events described in Schedule 9.3 in a manner consistent with its public statements for its other pharmaceutical products or permit XXXXX to make a public statement in accordance with clause (ii) of this Section 9.3, or (c) is contained in PFIZER’s financial statements prepared in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles in the United States. In connection with any such statement, the party proposing to make such statement shall, if possible, endeavor to obtain confidential treatment of economic and trade secret information.

The party that is required to or has otherwise decided to make a written or oral public statement pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall give the other party sufficient advance notice of the text of any proposed statement so that the other party will have the opportunity to comment upon the statement, and such comments will be given due consideration by the party making the statement. Once a statement has been approved by both parties in accordance with this Section 9.3, then either party may communicate the information contained in such statement in a manner that is consistent with such statement.

The parties shall promptly inform each other as to the activities or inquiries of any such Governmental Authority relating to this Agreement and shall cooperate to respond to any request for further information therefrom. Each party shall be responsible for its own legal and other external costs in connection with any such filings, registrations or notifications.

Section 10. REPRESENTATIONS.
10.1 XXXXX Warranties. As of the date hereof and as of the Effective Date, each of the Xxxxx Entities hereby represents and warrants to PFIZER as follows:
(a) To the knowledge of each such Xxxxx Entity and its Affiliates, the issued patents encompassed within the Xxxxx Patent Rights applicable to the Field are valid and enforceable patents, and no Third Party (i) is infringing any such patents in the Field relating to the Compound or the Product in development as of the Effective Date or (ii) except as indicated in Schedule 10.1(a)ii has challenged the extent, validity or enforceability of such patents (including by way of example through the institution or written threat of institution of interference, nullity or similar invalidity proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any equivalent foreign entity). Exhibit A contains a complete and correct list of all patents and patent applications owned by, or otherwise controlled by each of the Xxxxx Entities (and indicating which entity owns or controls each patent and patent application and which are owned and which are controlled) relating to the Compound or any Product. To the knowledge of XXXXX and its Affiliates, none of the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation by XXXXX of the Compound or any Product would infringe or constitute a misappropriation or other violation of the rights of any Third Party. Each of the Xxxxx Entities, as the case may be, is the legal and beneficial owner of, or has the right to grant to PFIZER the rights granted herein pursuant to (x) the XXXX License Agreement, the UIRF License Agreement or any other assignment of inventorship, (y) all the Xxxxx Patent Rights in the Field and (z) all Xxxxx Technology in the Field. Except for the license identified in Schedule 1.28, and except for research licenses for non-commercial purposes granted to academic or non-profit research entities or to other Third Parties involved in research for non-commercial purposes, no person, firm, corporation or other entity (including without limitation any direct or indirect subsidiary or Affiliate of any Xxxxx Entity and any agreements and licenses by and between or among any Xxxxx Entities and their respective Affiliates) has any right, interest or claim in or to, and neither XXXXX nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any agreement granting any right, interest or claim in or to, any Xxxxx Patent Rights applicable to the Field or Xxxxx Technology applicable to the Field. Except for the rights granted to XXXXX under the XXXX License Agreement and the UIRF License Agreement, none of the rights of XXXXX or its Affiliates under the Xxxxx Patent Rights in the Field or Xxxxx Technology in the Field have been licensed or otherwise made available (including without limitation pursuant to any immunity from suit arrangement) to XXXXX or its Affiliates from a Third Party. XXXXX and/or its Affiliates own or control valid and enforceable rights in the Xxxxx Patent Rights and Xxxxx Technology in the Field, in each case, free of any lien, encumbrance, charge, security interest, mortgage or other similar restriction.
(b) Each of the Xxxxx Entities has heretofore disclosed to PFIZER all material information known to it or its Affiliates with respect to the safety and efficacy of the Compound and the Product.
(c) Each of the Xxxxx Entities has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, and Xxxxx Inc. has the corporate power and authority

Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery on the part of PFIZER, each of this Agreement, the Screening and Evaluation Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Xxxxx Entities that are party hereto or thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms.
(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Screening and Evaluation Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement by each of the Xxxxx Entities that are party hereto or thereto and the performance by each of them contemplated hereunder and thereunder does not and will not violate any Laws or any order of any court or Governmental Authority where such violation would have an adverse impact on PFIZER’s rights hereunder.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Losses” shall mean any and all (a) claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, royalties, governmental penalties or punitive damages, deficiencies, interest, awards, and judgments, and (b) with respect to Third Parties, settlement amounts and all of the items referred to in clause (a) above which include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.6, special, indirect, incidental and consequential damages (including without limitation lost profits), and (c) any and all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with all of the items referred in clauses (a) and (b) above (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and all other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any litigation or proceeding, commenced or threatened).
13.4 Defense Procedures; Procedures for Third Party Claims. In the event that any Third Party asserts a claim with respect to any matter for which any Xxxxx Party or Pfizer Party (the “Indemnified Party”), as applicable, is entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to such Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify in writing the party obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the terms of this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) thereof; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.
(a) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to assume and conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim which involves solely monetary damages, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is sought; and (ii) the Third Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim in full. (The conditions set forth in (i), (ii) and (iii) above are collectively referred to as the “Litigation Conditions”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the case of any Third Party Claim which is the subject of Section 13.2, PFIZER shall be entitled to control the defense of such Third Party Claim.
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 406 of the Securities Act.
65
(b) Within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnifying Party has given notice to the Indemnified Party of its intended exercise of its right to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party of any objection thereto based upon the Litigation Conditions. If the Indemnified Party reasonably so objects, the Indemnified Party shall continue to defend the Third Party Claim, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, until such time as such objection is withdrawn. If no such notice is given, or if any such objection is withdrawn, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to assume and conduct such defense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, until such time as the Indemnified Party shall give notice that any of the Litigation Conditions, in its reasonable judgment, are no longer satisfied. During such time as the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate, and shall cause its Affiliates and agents to cooperate upon request of the Indemnifying Party in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim, including by furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may reasonably be requested by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to satisfy the Litigation Conditions or does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to defend any Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may (without further notice to the Indemnifying Party) undertake the defense thereof with counsel of its choice and at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable expense (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of enforcement or defense). The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to join in (including the right to conduct discovery, interview and examine witnesses and participate in all settlement conferences), but not control, at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim which the other party is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be represented by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense; provided, however, that if XXXXX, upon the advice of counsel, reasonably determines that the interests of XXXXX and PFIZER in connection with such Third Party Claim involving Co-Indemnity Liability pursuant to Section 13.2(a) are conflicting, then the reasonable cost and expense of such counsel shall be included in the Co-Indemnity Liability.
(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement which commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief, but, subject to Section 13.2(c) and this Section 13.4(c), shall not have the right to settle such Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim involves monetary damages without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) PFIZER shall deliver to XXXXX all offers of settlement relating to any Co-Indemnity Liability (any such offer, an

66
“Offer of Settlement”); (b) XXXXX shall not be obligated to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 13.2(a) with respect to any Offer of Settlement of any Co-Indemnity Liability (in no event to include any judgment of any competent court or tribunal) unless XXXXX has expressly agreed to pay its applicable amount of such Offer of Settlement pursuant to Section 13.2; (c) if XXXXX does not, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of any Offer of Settlement from PFIZER, notify PFIZER that it is prepared to pay its applicable portion of the Co-Indemnity Liability pursuant to Section 13.2 regarding such Offer of Settlement or if at any time thereafter XXXXX does not commit to or otherwise pay its applicable portion of the Co-Indemnity Liability pursuant to Section 13.2 regarding such Offer of Settlement, then (x) PFIZER shall be entitled to enter into any such settlement solely with respect to PFIZER and any Pfizer Parties and specifically excluding XXXXX and all Xxxxx Parties and (y) the provisions of Section 13.2 shall be null and void solely with respect to such Offer of Settlement so that neither XXXXX nor PFIZER shall be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to such settlement pursuant to Section 13.2; and (d) for the avoidance of doubt, amounts due or owing with respect to Section 13.2 resulting from any judgment rendered by any competent court or tribunal shall not require the consent of XXXXX.
13.5 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification rights provided in Section 13 shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to the matters covered therein.
13.6 Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL PFIZER OR XXXXX BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS) SUFFERED BY PFIZER OR XXXXX, RESPECTIVELY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT (A) TO THE EXTENT OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM, (B) FOR PURPOSES OF INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 13, FOR [*******************************************

Section 14. GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION AND JURISDICTION
14.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
14.2 Arbitration.
(a) The parties recognize that a bona fide dispute as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the term of the Agreement. In the event of the occurrence of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, enforceability or performance of the Agreement including disputes relating to an actual or alleged breach or termination of the Agreement (but in all cases excluding any disputes
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 406 of the Securities Act.
67
regarding matters decided as a result of an audit by the accountants hired to conduct such audit pursuant to Section 6.5, intellectual property matters relating to the validity or enforceability of such intellectual property (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 7) or any suits for specific performance or injunctive relief (collectively, the “Excluded Matters”)), it shall be settled in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that the arbitrators referred to below shall give effect to the provisions of the Agreement and shall not adjust, modify or change the effects of the provisions as set forth in the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no party shall be required to submit any Excluded Matter (including, without limitation, any applicable validity, construction, enforceability, breach or default dispute or issue under this Agreement involving such Excluded Matter) to arbitration pursuant to this Section 14.2.
(b) If a party intends to begin to resolve a dispute under this Section 14.2, such party shall provide written notice (the “ADR Request”) to the other party informing such party of such intention and the issues to be resolved. The notice shall explain the nature of the complaint and refer to the relevant sections of the Agreement upon which the complaint is based. The complaining party shall also set forth a proposed solution to the problem, including a suggested time frame within which the parties must act.
(c) The non-complaining party must respond within forty-five (45) days of receiving notice with an explanation, including references to the relevant provisions of the Agreement and a response to the proposed solution and suggested timeframe for action. The non-complaining party may add additional issues to be resolved.
(d) Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the response from the non-complaining party, the parties shall meet and discuss options for resolving the dispute at either the Development Committee or Screening and Evaluation Committee, as appropriate. At least one officer or executive of each party will attend the Development Committee or Screening and Evaluation Committee meeting, as applicable, and both parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. The complaining party must initiate the scheduling of this resolution meeting. If the dispute is not resolved at the applicable committee meeting, then XXXXX shall make its President or CEO available and PFIZER shall make a senior executive responsible for development or a senior executive responsible for the pharmaceutical business (as applicable) available to meet and confer with the other party.
(e) Except for Excluded Matters and as otherwise provided herein, any dispute under this Agreement that cannot be resolved pursuant to Sections 14.2(b), (c) and (d) above shall be resolved through binding arbitration as follows:
(i) A party may submit such dispute to arbitration by notifying the other party, in writing, of such dispute (the “Arbitration Notice”). Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, all arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English and held in New York City, New York. The parties agree to use a panel of three arbitrators, selected from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Arbitration Panels from the jurisdiction in which the arbitration is to be held. Each party shall select one (1) arbitrator within thirty (30) days after receipt of such
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 406 of the Securities Act.
68
Arbitration Notice, and the third (3rd) arbitrator must be a former United States federal judge who shall be selected by the parties’ chosen arbitrators within thirty (30) days of the parties’ chosen arbitrators being selected; provided, however, that if the parties’ arbitrators cannot agree on a third (3rd) arbitrator within such thirty (30)-day period, the third (3rd) arbitrator shall be a former United States federal judge selected by the New York, New York office of the AAA. The arbitrators shall, in rendering a decision, apply the substantive law of New York.
(ii) Within thirty (30) days after the designation of the arbitrators, the arbitrators and the parties shall meet, at which time the parties shall be required to set forth in writing all disputed issues and a proposed ruling on the merits of each such issue. During the meeting, the parties shall negotiate in good faith the issues to be tried and the scope and schedule of discovery relating to depositions, document production and other discovery devices, taking into account the nature of the dispute submitted for resolution. If the parties are unable to reach agreement at such meeting as to the scope and schedule of discovery, then the arbitrators may order such discovery as they deem necessary but in accordance with the following: (x) the Federal Rules of Evidence and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply and (y) to the extent practicable, taking into account the nature of the dispute submitted for resolution, such discovery shall be completed in no less than sixty (60) days and no more than one hundred twenty (120) days, as determined by the arbitrators, taking into consideration the needs of the parties. Such discovery shall be conducted in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
(iii) The arbitrators shall set a date for a hearing, which shall be no later than thirty (30) days after the close of discovery. Except as provided herein, the arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of AAA; provided, however, that R-31 and R-32 of those rules will be modified to the extent that the Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply with regard to admissibility of evidence. The arbitration shall continue from day-to-day until completed. The arbitrators may then request oral summations by the parties if they deem such summations to be useful. At the hearing, each party shall submit to the arbitrators and each other party all requested dispositive motions with respect to the claims in arbitration. At such hearing, the parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel. Within thirty (30) days following the above hearing, both parties shall be entitled to submit post-hearing briefs and findings of fact.
(iv) The arbitrators shall use their best efforts to rule on each disputed issue within forty-five (45) days after the completion of the hearings described in this Section 14.2. The arbitrations shall issue an opinion with findings of fact and conclusions of law. In making the award, the arbitrators shall rule on each disputed issue. Resolution of disputes under this Section 14.2 shall be the sole and exclusive means of resolving disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than Excluded Matters); provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude a party hereto from seeking in any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive or other equitable relief. The arbitration proceeding shall be

69
confidential and, except as required by Law, neither party shall make (or instruct the arbitrators to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrators without the prior consent of the other party. The existence of any dispute submitted pursuant to this Section 14.2, and the award of the arbitrators, shall be kept in confidence by the parties and the arbitrators, except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by applicable Law. All rulings of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the parties.
(v) The (x) attorneys’ fees of the parties in any arbitration, (y) fees of the arbitrators and (z) costs and expenses of the arbitration shall be borne by the parties as determined by the arbitrators. Any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.
(vi) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the arbitrators to award punitive, exemplary or any similar damages. By entering into the Agreement and exercising their rights to arbitrate, the parties expressly waive any claim for punitive, exemplary or any similar damages. The only damages recoverable under this Agreement are those permitted pursuant to Section 13.
14.3 Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement (each, a “Proceeding”), each party irrevocably (i) subject to this Section 14.3, agrees and consents to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or any Delaware state court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware (any such court, the “Court”) and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceeding brought in any such Court as provided in this Section 14.3, waives any claim that such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceeding, that such Court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Court adjudicating such Proceeding refuses for any reason to exercise jurisdiction over the dispute, either party shall be free to bring such Proceeding in any other Court in such state as provided above and, in the event such other Court refuses for any reason to exercise jurisdiction over the dispute, either party shall be free to bring such Proceeding in any other court, and (b) if any party (the “initiating party”) commences a Proceeding in any Court, the other party (the “defending party”) shall possess and retain the right to assert in that same Proceeding all claims and defenses that the defending party may have against the initiating party, including, without limitation, all counterclaims and setoffs. Each of Xxxxx Inc., Xxxxx Canada and Xxxxx Germany shall at all times maintain an agent for service of process and any other documents in proceedings in Wilmington, Delaware and hereby designates Xxxxx Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. as its agent. Each of Xxxxx Canada and Xxxxx Germany shall promptly provide PFIZER with written notice of any change in the identity of such agent. Any pleading, judgment or other notice of legal process shall be sufficiently served on each of Xxxxx Inc., Xxxxx Canada and Xxxxx Germany if delivered to its agent at its then current address. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and specific performance in any court in the world.

15.2 Severability. If and solely to the extent that any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, or shall render this entire Agreement to be unenforceable or invalid, such offending provision shall be of no effect and shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement or any of its provisions; provided, however, the parties shall use their respective reasonable efforts to renegotiate the offending provisions to best accomplish the original intentions of the parties.
15.3 Accrued Obligation. Except as provided herein, termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release any party hereto from any liability which at the time of such termination has already accrued to the other party or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination, nor shall it preclude either party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement.
15.4 Waivers. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party or parties waiving such term or condition. Neither the waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, nor the failure on the part of any party, in one or more instances, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege, shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or condition for any similar instance in the future or of any subsequent breach hereof. All rights, remedies, undertakings, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative and none of them shall be a limitation of any other remedy, right, undertaking, obligation or agreement.

71

During the term of this Agreement, neither party shall, directly or indirectly, recruit or solicit any employee of the other party with whom such party has come into contact or interacted for the purposes of performing this Agreement, without the prior consent of the other party, except pursuant to general solicitations not targeted at such employees.
15.10 Joint and Several Liability. The parties understand and agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all obligations and liabilities of Xxxxx Inc., Xxxxx Canada and Xxxxx Germany under this Agreement shall be joint and several.

Pfizer/Coley press release DRAFT
PFIZER, COLEY PHARMACEUTICAL GROUP ENTER INTO EXCLUSIVE GLOBAL LICENSE
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION
OF PROMUNE FOR CANCERS
New York and Wellesley, MA, March x 2005 – Pfizer Inc and Coley Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. said today they have entered into an exclusive global license agreement to develop, manufacture and commercialize Coley’s ProMune (CPG 7909), a toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist delivered by subcutaneous injection for the potential treatment, control and prevention of cancers in humans.
Under the terms of the agreement, which is subject to government approval, Pfizer will make an initial payment of $50 million to Coley, with the potential for up to $455 million in additional milestone payments, plus royalties based on the successful development and commercialization of ProMune. In addition, under certain circumstances, Pfizer will invest up to $10 million in Coley’s common stock upon an initial public offering by Coley.
Pfizer will fund future development of ProMune, including planned Phase III trials for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. A variety of additional tumor types also will be explored. Pfizer also will fund a collaboration with Coley to discover and develop next generation TLR9 agonists for cancers, which, if successful, could result in additional milestone payments and royalties to Coley.
“Results of clinical studies conducted to date suggest that ProMune has promising anti-cancer activity and may represent an important advance in treating a range of cancer indications,” said Karen Katen, Vice Chairman and President, Pfizer Human Health. “This agreement is a further step in our strategy to augment Pfizer’s internal research activities with externally sourced products in key therapeutic areas such as oncology, where Pfizer is working to meet the needs of cancer patients.”
Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 406 of the Securities Act.

“We are extremely proud of our progress with ProMune, as shown in Coley’s randomized Phase II clinical trials,” said Robert L. Bratzler, Ph.D., Coley’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to working with the Pfizer team to realize ProMune’s remarkable potential as a highly potent and broadly applicable anti-cancer therapy.”
ProMune has been evaluated in clinical studies involving more than 900 subjects. Promising initial anti-cancer activity without substantial additional toxicity has been observed in both solid and hematologic tumors, both as a single agent and in combination with other treatments. The technology licensed to Pfizer by Coley includes intellectual property licensed by Coley from the University of Iowa Research Foundation in Iowa City, Iowa and the Ottawa Health Research Institute in Ottawa, Canada.
