CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

9.2.1

Suit by Bayer. Bayer shall have the first right (with the right to grant such right to Sublicensees), but not the obligation, to file a lawsuit for patent infringement or otherwise take action in the prosecution, prevention, or termination of any Infringement, including enforcement of Compugen Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights with respect to an Infringement. Before Bayer commences an action with respect to any such Infringement, Bayer shall consider in good faith the views of Compugen in making its decision whether to xxx. Should Bayer elect to bring suit against such an infringer, Bayer shall keep Compugen reasonably informed of the progress of the action and shall give Compugen a reasonable opportunity in advance to consult with Bayer and offer its views about major decisions affecting the litigation. Bayer shall give careful consideration to those views, but shall have the right to control the action. Bayer agrees to vigorously defend the validity and enforceability of each patent subject to Compugen Patent Rights or to Joint Patent Rights on which it files suit. As to a particular patent that is subject to Joint Patent Rights, Bayer at any time may assign all of its right, title and interest in that patent to Compugen and offer Compugen the opportunity to take over the lawsuit, and after such offer all obligations of Bayer under this paragraph with respect to such patent shall cease. Likewise, with respect to a particular patent that is subject to Compugen Patent Rights, Bayer at any time may offer Compugen the opportunity to take over the lawsuit, and after such offer all rights and obligations of Bayer under this paragraph with respect to such patent shall cease. Should Bayer elect to bring suit against such an infringer Compugen agrees to join as party plaintiff in any such suit upon request by Bayer. [***] Bayer agrees to [***] the final decision as to the selection of counsel shall be made by Bayer. Compugen agrees to execute any retainer agreement reasonably requested by such counsel that provides that counsel shall take instructions regarding the lawsuit from Bayer and that waives any actual or potential conflicts of interest between Compugen and Bayer. Except as set forth in the next sentence, the expenses of such suit or suits that Bayer elects to bring, including any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Compugen, other than expenses for the time of its employees involved and disbursement involved in connection therewith, incurred in conjunction with the prosecution of such suits or the settlement thereof, [***] and [***] shall hold [***]. Bayer shall be responsible for [***] incurred [***] only to the extent that [***]. Should Compugen desire its own separate counsel, as set forth in Section 9.5, fees incurred by such counsel would be at Compugen’s expense. Bayer shall not settle such litigation in a manner that would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Compugen Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights or that would admit fault or wrongdoing by, or impose liability on, Compugen without the prior written consent of Compugen, such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Bayer exercises its right to xxx pursuant to this Section 9.2.1, it shall first reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such suit or in settlement thereof for all costs and expenses of every kind and character other than expenses for the time of its employees involved and disbursement involved in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in the prosecution of any such suit. If, after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery, then Compugen shall receive an amount equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of such funds and the remaining [***] percent ([***]%) of such funds shall be retained by Bayer.

9.3

Bayer Product Patent Rights. Bayer shall have the sole right (with the right to grant such right to Sublicensees), at its discretion, to file a lawsuit for patent infringement or otherwise take action in the prosecution, prevention, or termination of any Infringement or enforcement of patent rights relating the Bayer Product Patent Rights. If Bayer exercises such right with respect to an Infringement occurring during a period in which royalties were due to Compugen on sales of Products covered by such Bayer Product Patent Rights in the country of the Infringement, it shall first reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such suit or in settlement thereof for all costs and expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in the prosecution of any such suit and if, after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery, then Compugen shall receive an amount equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of such funds and the remaining [***]-percent ([***]%) of such funds shall be retained by Bayer.

9.4

Compugen Program Invention. Compugen shall have control, at its expense and discretion, over the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of Patents covering Compugen Program Inventions that are not Compugen Patent Rights (i.e. do not cover the Targets, Target Biologics nor Target Biomarkers).

9.5	Own Counsel. Each of Bayer and Compugen shall always have the right to be represented by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense in any suit instituted under this Section 9 by the other Party for Infringement.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

9.6

Cooperation. Each of Bayer and Compugen agrees to cooperate fully in any action under this Section 9 that is controlled by the other Party, provided that the controlling Party reimburses the cooperating Party promptly for any costs and expenses, other than expenses for the time of its employees involved and disbursement involved in connection therewith, incurred by the cooperating Party in connection with providing such assistance.

9.7

Declaratory Judgment. If a declaratory judgment action is brought naming Bayer and/or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees as a defendant and alleging invalidity or unenforceability of any claims within the Compugen Patent Rights, Bayer shall promptly notify Compugen in writing and Compugen may elect, upon written notice to Bayer within [***] days after Compugen receives notice of the commencement of such action, to take over the sole defense of the invalidity and/or unenforceability aspect of the action at its own expense, unless or until Bayer decides to take action according to Section 9.2.1. Should Compugen elect to take over such defense, Bayer shall have the right to approve the counsel selected by Compugen to represent Compugen and Bayer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

10 Confidential Information.

10.1

Definition. “Confidential Information” means information received by one Party or any of its Affiliates (the “Receiving Party”) from the other Party or any of its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”) that is visibly marked or otherwise indicated as confidential or proprietary or that – without such information being marked or otherwise indicated as confidential or proprietary – the Receiving Party should reasonably understand is confidential to the Disclosing Party, and except that Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) was known to the Receiving Party (or an Affiliate of the Receiving Party) at the time it was disclosed, other than by previous disclosure by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by written records at the time of disclosure; (ii) is at the time of disclosure publicly known, or later becomes publicly known under circumstances involving no breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or by any person or entity to whom Receiving Party discloses such information under Section 10.2; (iii) is lawfully and in good faith made available to the Receiving Party (or an Affiliate of the Receiving Party) by a Third Party who is not subject to obligations of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party with respect to such information; or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party (or an Affiliate of the Receiving Party) without the use of or reference to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as demonstrated by documentary evidence. The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the relationship between Parties shall be considered Confidential Information of each of the Parties for purposes of this Section 10.

For clarity, specific aspects or details of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party merely because such Confidential Information is embraced by more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party. Further, any combination of individual elements of Confidential Information shall be considered Confidential Information and shall not be considered in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party merely because one or more individual elements of such combination are in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party; rather, such combination shall be considered in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party only if the combination of the individual elements of the combination is in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party.

The partnership targets the research, development, and commercialization of antibody-based therapeutics for cancer immunotherapy against two novel immune checkpoint regulators discovered by Compugen. Under the agreement, the partners will jointly pursue a preclinical research program. Subsequently, Bayer will have full control over further development and worldwide commercialization rights for potential cancer therapeutics.

“Bayer is committed to translating the science of cancer research into effective therapies helping people affected by cancer live longer and improve their quality of life,” said Xxxx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Member of the Bayer HealthCare Executive Committee and Head of Global Drug Discovery. “Antibody-based immunotherapies are promising approaches in oncology which can stimulate the body’s own immune cells to fight cancer cells. Immunotherapy is one of our focus areas in oncology research. We are looking forward to expanding our portfolio in this area through partnering with Compugen.”

The immunotherapy approach aims at combatting cancer by stimulating the body´s own immune cells. The tumor and its environment suppress the ability of cancer patients to develop an effective anti-tumor immune response and in this way protect both tumor growth and survival. Compugen has discovered two novel immune checkpoint regulators that potentially play a key role in immunosuppression. Researchers at Compugen are developing specific therapeutic antibodies that are geared to block the immunosuppressive function of these targets and to reactivate the patient’s anti-tumor immune response in order to fight cancer.

“We are very excited to initiate this collaboration with Bayer, a leading global life science company with a broadening oncology franchise, for the development of antibody-based cancer immunotherapies against these two promising novel immune checkpoint targets,” said Xxxx Xxxxx-Xxxxx, Ph.D., President and CEO of Compugen. “In addition, we believe that the prediction and validation of these two targets, through the use of our broadly applicable predictive discovery infrastructure, provides additional validation for our long-term commitment to establishing this unique capability.”

In addition to an upfront payment of USD 10 million, Compugen is eligible to receive over USD 500 million in potential milestone payments for both programs, not including milestone payments of up to USD 30 million associated with preclinical activities. Furthermore, Compugen is also eligible to receive mid to high single digit royalties on worldwide net sales of any resulting products under the collaboration.

About Cancer Immunotherapy

Latest cancer immunotherapies have demonstrated impressive clinical benefit, even for end-stage patients with difficult-to-treat tumors such as metastatic melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer. Unlike conventional cancer therapies, which act by directly targeting cancer cells, resulting often in only transient clinical responses as cancer cells become resistant, clinical responses to cancer immunotherapy tend to be durable, sometimes resulting in dramatic long term survival and absence of resistance or recurrences.

About Compugen

Compugen is a leading drug discovery company focused on therapeutic proteins and monoclonal antibodies to address important unmet needs in the fields of immunology and oncology. The Company utilizes a broad and continuously growing integrated infrastructure of proprietary scientific understandings and predictive platforms, algorithms, machine learning systems and other computational biology capabilities for the in silico (by computer) prediction and selection of product candidates, which are then advanced in its Pipeline Program. The Company's business model includes collaborations covering the further development and commercialization of selected product candidates from its Pipeline Program and various forms of research and discovery agreements, in both cases providing Compugen with potential milestone payments and royalties on product sales or other forms of revenue sharing. In 2012, Compugen established operations in California for the development of oncology and immunology monoclonal antibody therapeutic candidates against Compugen drug targets.
