2.2.3

Decision making for JRC. Each Party will discuss and attempt to resolve any potential or evolving disagreement related to a Research Plan through its respective Project Co-Leaders and/or the applicable JPT before it is brought before the JRC for resolution. With respect to the responsibilities of the JRC, each Party shall have one vote on all matters brought before the JRC. The JRC shall operate as to matters within its responsibility by unanimous vote. Each Party shall make decisions in good faith [***]. If the JRC is unable to achieve a unanimous vote within [***] days of any matter being brought before the JRC, then such matter may be referred to senior managers under Clause 21.1 at either Party’s discretion; provided, that, for clarity, the arbitration provisions in Clause 21 shall not apply and, unless otherwise provided explicitly in this Agreement, neither Party shall have final decision-making authority with respect to such matter. Unless otherwise provided explicitly in this Agreement, where (i) any JRC decision relates to a change to a Research Plan other than under the following Clause 2.2.3(ii) then in the absence of any decision being reached by the JRC, such Research Plan shall continue as un-amended; or (ii) any JRC decision that relates to a change in a given Research Plan as a result of a technical or safety issue that makes continuation of such plan impractical without change and such decision is not made within a period of [***] days of referral to the senior managers, the Research Plan shall be deemed Completed and the provisions of Clause 5.1 shall apply irrespective of whether a final report has been delivered; provided, that, in the event that Lilly does not exercise its right to further develop a Research Plan Compound arising out of such Research Plan, Immunocore shall have no right to develop, or grant any rights to any Affiliate or Third Party to develop, any Research Plan Compounds arising out of such Research Plan. Any JRC decisions are subject to the following: (i) neither the JRC nor either Party shall have the authority to amend or modify, or waive its own compliance with, this Agreement; and (ii) Immunocore shall not be entitled to withhold its consent to changes in any Research Plan where the change results in an increase in FTE effort of [***] or less of the total FTE effort that Immunocore is already committed to provide under the applicable Research Plan in any given [***] month period. FTE effort shall be calculated based on the FTE Rate and the amount of time that a given activity is reasonably projected to take.

2.3	Joint Development Committee.

2.3.1

Formation and Composition. As soon as reasonably possible after exercise by both (i) Lilly, of a Lilly Co-Development Option, and (ii) Immunocore, of an Immunocore Co-Development Option, and, in any event within [***] after exercise of such options, Immunocore and Lilly shall establish a Joint Development Committee (the “JDC”) to monitor and coordinate the communication and activities of both Parties relating to the development of all Joint Selected Candidates. The JDC shall be composed of at least [***] but no more than [***] representatives designated by each Party and in each case an equal number of representatives from each Party. Representatives must be appropriate for the tasks then being undertaken and the stage of research or clinical development, in terms of their seniority, decision-making authority, availability, function

in their respective organizations, training and experience. Each Party shall designate one of its representatives as its primary JDC contact. Each Party may replace its representatives from time to time upon written notice to the other Party; provided, however, if a Party’s representative is unable to attend a meeting, such Party may designate an alternate to attend such meeting by providing notification in writing to the other Party’s representatives and following provision of such written notification the alternate will be entitled to perform the functions of such representative. The Alliance Managers may attend meetings of the JDC but shall have no right to vote on any decisions of the JDC.

2.3.2

JDC Responsibilities for a Co-Development Plan. The JDC shall have overall responsibility for monitoring the activities of the Parties under this Agreement during development (including Clinical Trials) of any Joint Selected Candidates or Products containing any Joint Selected Candidates (including any relevant Back-up Compounds directed to the same Selected Target as the Joint Selected Candidates). The JDC shall, in particular:

Where Immunocore has not exercised the Co-Development Option in relation to any Selected Candidate (in which case the following shall apply from expiry of the period for exercise of the Co-Development Option) or where it exercises any Opt-Out Right in relation to any Joint Selected Candidate (in which case the following shall apply from date of exercise of such Opt-Out Right), Lilly shall take full responsibility for the Development Plan and all development, regulatory, manufacturing and commercialization matters relating to the relevant Selected Candidate (including any other Compounds developed as part of the Research Plan resulting in the Selected Candidate) and shall have

sole decision making authority in relation to the performance of such activities. Clause 2.3.4(a) shall continue to apply in relation to any remaining Co-Development Plans.

2.4	Joint Commercialization Committee.

2.4.1

Formation and Composition. In the event that Lilly initiates a Phase III Clinical Trial for a Joint Selected Candidate, [***], Immunocore and Lilly shall establish a joint commercialization committee (the “JCC”). As of the Effective Date, the Parties anticipate that the JCC will monitor and coordinate the communication and activities of both Parties relating to the further supply, manufacture and commercialization of such Joint Selected Candidate, and any subsequent Joint Selected Candidates that enter Phase III Clinical Trials. Unless otherwise set forth in the Co-Commercialization Agreement, the JCC shall function in accordance with the remainder of this Clause 2.4 (for clarity, to the extent this Clause 2.4 is inconsistent with the Co-Commercialization Agreement, the Co-Commercialization Agreement shall control). The JCC shall be composed of at least [***] but no more than [***] representatives designated by each Party and in each case an equal number of representatives from each Party. Representatives must be appropriate for the tasks then being undertaken and the stage of development and commercialization, in terms of their seniority, decision-making authority, availability, function in their respective organizations, training and experience. Each Party shall designate one of its representatives as its primary JCC contact. Each Party may replace its representatives from time to time upon written notice to the other Party; provided, however, if a Party’s representative is unable to attend a meeting, such Party may designate an alternate to attend such meeting by providing notification in writing to the other Party’s representatives and following provision of such written notification the alternate will be entitled to perform the functions of such representative. The Alliance Managers may attend meetings of the JCC but shall have no right to vote on any decisions of the JCC.

2.4.2

The final report and recommendations following completion of any Research Plan shall be provided to the JRC within a maximum of [***] following completion of the relevant Research Plan and the Parties shall provide all support to the applicable JPT as may be reasonably necessary to meet such timelines. The first order of business for each JPT shall be to prepare a detailed Research Plan related to the applicable Selected Target in accordance with Clause 4.1.

2.6

JSC. In the event that [***] both the JDC and JCC will be in existence and the Parties shall also set up a joint steering committee (“JSC”) as soon as possible after formation of the JCC. The JSC shall serve as an overarching governance forum through which either Party, or any of the JRC, JDC or JCC may escalate a dispute, in each case for so long as such committee(s) are in existence. The Parties shall each nominate up to three (3) representatives (and in each case an equal number of representatives) to represent it on the JSC. Each Party may replace its representatives from time to time upon written notice to the other Party; provided, however, if a Party’s representative is unable to attend a meeting, such Party may designate an alternate to attend such meeting by providing notification in writing to the other Party’s representatives and following provision of such written notification the alternate will be entitled to perform the functions of such representative. In the event that the JSC is formed, each of the JRC, JDC and JCC, in each case for so long as such committee(s) are in existence, shall report regularly to the JSC, as relevant and depending on the stage of development of any Joint Selected Candidates (and Products containing such Joint Selected Candidates). The JSC shall be an advisory committee only with respect to Joint Selected Candidates (and Products containing such Joint Selected Candidates), with decision-making authority relating to Joint Selected Candidates (and Products containing such Joint Selected Candidates) sitting with the JDC or JCC, as applicable.

2.7

Alliance Advisory Committee. In the event that Immunocore does not exercise its Co-Development Option with respect to any Selected Target, then the JDC and JCC shall, as it relates to Products directed to Selected Targets, never form in the first place, or, if Immunocore exercises an Opt-Out Right to any Selected Targets, shall be dissolved in accordance with Clause 2.9 and the Parties shall also set up an alliance advisory committee (“AAC”), with respect to Products directed to such Selected Target, as soon as possible after the later of the dissolution of the JDC or the JRC. The AAC shall serve as a forum for (i) the Parties to generally discuss matters hereunder, (ii) Lilly to provide executive updates with respect to its development and commercialization activities hereunder, (iii) Immunocore to provide executive updates regarding its progress in conducting any Clinical Trials relating to Compounds or ImmTACs other than those being developed by Lilly (subject to any Third Party confidentiality constraints, which in any event will not prohibit Immunocore from providing updates related to safety or efficacy), and (iv) the Parties to provide reports on any SUSARs, or other information which might be relevant to Immunocore’s or Lilly’s conduct of Clinical Trials relating to any Compounds or ImmTACs in each case as relevant to the Selected Candidate (including any Back-up Compounds) and material SAEs to the extent they are or could be generally applicable

to Compound or ImmTAC development; and (v) Lilly to provide an update of its planned activities and further development of the Selected Candidate (and any relevant Back-up Compounds) including an indication of when milestones, if any, will occur over the [***] after the date of the update. The Parties shall each nominate up to [***] representatives (and in each case an equal number of representatives) to represent it on the AAC. Each Party may replace its representatives from time to time upon written notice to the other Party; provided, however, if a Party’s representative is unable to attend a meeting, such Party may designate an alternate to attend such meeting by providing notification in writing to the other Party’s representatives and following provision of such written notification the alternate will be entitled to perform the functions of such representative. The Parties shall each respond to any reasonable questions raised at the AAC and shall otherwise provide the reports and updates specified in this Clause 2.7. The AAC shall be a forum for discussion only, and Lilly shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, solely control all decisions related to the Selected Candidates (including any Back-up Compounds) and Products.

ARTICLE 3 SELECTION OF TARGET

3.1	Selected Targets.

3.1.1

Target Database. Until the earlier of (a) expiry of the Option Period or (b) Acceptance of three (3) Proposed Targets, Immunocore will provide Lilly access to an electronic data-room with information on all Targets evaluated by Immunocore and available for nomination as a Selected Target from time to time (“Target Database”). Lilly understands and accepts that the same Target Database will be made available to Lilly and all Third Party Partners (each an “Entity”). Immunocore and Lilly shall work together after the Effective Date to ensure that Lilly can access the Target Database and to agree the nomination and Acceptance of the third Selected Target and, subsequently to agree upon a written Research Plan for such Selected Target, with the first two (2) Selected Targets (i.e., the Initial Targets) being Accepted as of the Effective Date in accordance with Clauses 3.1.2 and 3.1.3. Immunocore may add or remove Targets from the Target Database during the period in which Lilly has access to the Target Database, however any removal from the Target Database may only be done where the Target would satisfy the requirements for an Unavailable Target as provided under Clause 3.1.4(a).

3.1.2

Selected Target Identification. The Parties shall consult on and discuss at the JRC any Target being considered for selection. The JRC shall agree which Target will be selected, save that where following referral to senior managers in accordance with Clause 2.2.3 no decision is made, Lilly shall have final decision making authority with respect to selection of Target. At any time during the Option Period, Lilly may notify Immunocore in writing in the form set out in Exhibit B that Lilly wishes to nominate a

particular Target (the “Proposed Target”) as a Selected Target (“Nomination Notice”). The Nomination Notice shall become effective on the date Immunocore receives the Nomination Notice. Lilly may nominate a maximum of three (3) Proposed Targets. Immunocore understands that Lilly has nominated the Initial Targets and Immunocore acknowledges receipt of the Nomination Notices set out in Exhibit H in relation to the two (2) Initial Targets as of the Effective Date.

3.1.3

Proposed Target Available as a Selected Target. Immunocore shall have a maximum period of [***] within which to accept or reject the Nomination Notice by returning a signed version of the relevant Nomination Notice to Lilly specifying whether accepted or rejected, and if rejected, the reasons therefor. Immunocore will accept the Nomination Notice (“Acceptance”) unless the Proposed Target meets any of the criteria set forth in Clause 3.1.4(a), in which case it will reject the Nomination Notice by written notice to Lilly, which notice shall specify whether rejection is under (a) Clauses 3.1.4(a)(i) or (ii) (without specifying the exact sub-clause concerned); or (b) alternatively is under Clause 3.1.4(a)(iii) (and, if under Clause 3.1.4(a)(iii), then Immunocore will also provide the specific reasons for such rejection). Acceptance shall be deemed to occur on the date of Immunocore’s signature on the Nomination Notice. On Acceptance the Proposed Target shall thereafter be designated as a “Selected Target” and such Selected Target shall be removed from the Target Database (to the extent such Target was present in the Target Database). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lilly understands that Immunocore has Accepted the Initial Targets and Immunocore acknowledges providing, and Lilly acknowledges receipt of, Immunocore’s executed Acceptance of the Nomination Notices set out in Exhibit H in relation to the two (2) Initial Targets (i.e., Selected Targets) as of the Effective Date.

3.1.4

Proposed Target Not Available as a Selected Target.

(a)

Unavailable Target. If Lilly nominates a Proposed Target as a Selected Target during the Option Period, then Immunocore shall have the right to reject such request if and only if:

(i)

[***];

(ii)

[***]; or

(iii)

[***].

Where Immunocore rejects the Nomination Notice, the Proposed Target shall be designated as an “Unavailable Target”.

(b)

Subsequently Available Target.

(i)

Unavailable Targets under Clause 3.1.4(a) (i) or (ii). If an Unavailable Target that was the subject of Clauses 3.1.4(a) (i) or (ii) above subsequently becomes available for license (each, an “Available Target”), Immunocore shall provide prompt written notice [***].

(ii)

Unavailable Targets under Clause 3.1.4(a)(iii). With respect to an Unavailable Target that was rejected under Clause 3.1.4(a)(iii) above, Immunocore [***] Target (each, an “Available Target”). [***].

3.1.5

Target Validation.

(a)

Lilly may request that Immunocore validate any Target which is not present in the Target Database (“Non-Validated Target”) prior to Lilly nominating such a Target. Any request for validation shall be made in writing to Immunocore and shall specify details related to the Non-Validated Target. Immunocore shall accept or reject such Non-Validated Target request within [***] of receipt of such request from Lilly; provided, that Immunocore may only reject a Non-Validated Target as a result of such Target being [***]. Where Immunocore rejects any request it shall provide its underlying reasons for such rejection and Clause 3.1.4 (to the extent relevant) shall control with respect to any such Unavailable Target/Non-Validated Target. Such request may only be made prior to Acceptance of three (3) Selected Targets. For clarity, (1) where the reason for rejection is provided under Clause 3.1.5(a)(ii), Clause 3.1.4(b) will not apply to such a rejected Non-Validated Target; provided, that, if Lilly requests that Immunocore notify Lilly if such Non-Validated Target becomes available for validation, Immunocore shall so notify Lilly promptly following such Non-Validated Target becoming available for validation; and (2) where Lilly elects to continue with a Non-Validated Target given the communication of restrictions by Immunocore under (B) above, any license or rights granted in relation to such Non-Validated Target will be subject to the communicated, written, restrictions.

(b)

Provided Immunocore has not notified Lilly under Clause 3.1.5(a) that a Non-Validated Target is also an Unavailable Target or under Clause 3.1.5(a)(ii), Immunocore shall carry out validation of the Non-Validated Target. Such validation shall be carried out by Immunocore and shall incorporate the validation steps routinely carried out by Immunocore for validation of the Targets in the Target Database. Immunocore shall carry out such validation as soon as reasonably possible after expiry of the [***] period under Clause 3.1.5(a) above. Immunocore shall provide to Lilly a report on completion of the validation setting out the data obtained and including Immunocore’s view on whether such data suggests that the Target is viable or not.

(c)

Immunocore shall be obliged to carry out a maximum of [***] validations of Non-Validated Targets. Any further validation shall be subject to prior written agreement by the Parties and will be subject to payment by Lilly for any Immunocore time, effort and cost reasonably incurred in performing any further validation work at the FTE Rate and subject to any other terms and conditions that the Parties may agree.

(d)

Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Immunocore shall not pursue any internal development programs

related to any Non-Validated Targets preliminarily discussed with Lilly for a period of no less than [***] from notification of name of Non-Validated Target at JRC or JDC or in such other matter as it is documented that Lilly has identified such Non-Validated Target to Immunocore so as to afford Lilly the opportunity to make a final decision as to whether to request validation of the Target.

ARTICLE 4 RESEARCH PLAN

4.1	Research Plan.

4.1.1

Within [***] after Acceptance (or such longer time as mutually agreed) with respect to a given Target, and with respect to the Initial Targets, as soon as practicably possible following the Effective Date, the JPT shall draft and agree upon a research plan (“Research Plan”) for the generation of Compounds directed to the relevant Selected Target and which plan is intended to generate the data necessary to support an IND filing for at least one Selected Candidate.

4.1.2

Under each Research Plan, Immunocore shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop:

(i)

In the case that an identical sequence is identified within a Target previously nominated by a Third Party Partner (“Third Party Sequence”) then [***].

(ii)

In the case that the identical sequence is within a Target nominated by Immunocore, then [***].

(c)

Both Parties accept that as of the date of nomination of any Target, it may not be possible to identify all possible identical sequences which may be present within any potential Proposed Target as compared to any other Targets (whether nominated prior to or after the nomination of the potential Proposed Target by Lilly) including in relation to any HLA Types relevant to such Targets. In the case where an identical sequence is identified after the Acceptance of any potential Proposed Target by Immunocore under clause 3.1.3, then the following will apply:

(i)

Where such identical sequence within a Proposed Target is identified in a Target nominated by a Third Party Partner [***].

(ii)

Where such identical sequence is identified in a Target nominated by Immunocore, then [***].

Exhibit K sets out non-exhaustive examples of the application of this Clause 4.8.2 for illustration purposes.

4.9

Inspections. The Parties shall notify each other of any inspections carried out or requested by any regulatory authority and in each case to the extent such inspection or request relates to any activities under any Research Plan, or to the part(s) of the facility at which any activities relevant to activities under any Research Plan, or that relate to such areas, (including where such sites are managed by a CRO or other Third Party), are conducted. To the extent possible Lilly shall be entitled to attend any such inspection of Immunocore, but any access of Lilly shall not include any right to be present at any inspection of any Third Party activities or part of the facility in which any Third Party activities or Immunocore internal activities are being carried out to the extent access is not necessary for the purposes of such inspection. Where any inspection identifies any non-compliance with Applicable Laws and such non-compliance is relevant to any activities under any Research Plan or the part of a facility at which any activities relevant to activities under any Research Plan are conducted, or that relate to such areas, then the Party responsible for the facility shall correct any such non-compliance and shall keep the other Party informed of the steps being taken to correct any non-compliance. The Party accompanying any such inspection (as opposed to the Party being inspected) shall reasonably cooperate in minimizing its exposure to any Third Party confidential information.

4.10

ARTICLE 5 LILLY CO-DEVELOPMENT OPTION

5.1

Selected Candidate Identification and Lilly Co-Development Option. Following receipt of final report and recommendations from the JPT and/or Immunocore in relation to any Research Plan, the JRC shall consider whether any Research Plan Compound under such Research Plan (a) meets the Lead Candidate Criteria; or (b) does not meet the Lead Candidate Criteria but, in the view of the JRC, there is sufficient information to support further development of such Research Plan Compound. Based, in part, on the feedback provided by the JRC, Lilly may designate any Research Plan Compound as the Selected Candidate for a given Selected Target; provided, that, for clarity, Lilly shall not be obligated to designate a Research Plan Compound as a Selected Candidate with respect to any given Research Plan (even if the Lead Candidate Criteria are met by a Research Plan Compound). Lilly shall reach its decision as soon as reasonably possible after provision of final report and recommendations from the JRC, JPT and/or Immunocore following completion of performance of any Research Plan. Lilly shall formally record its desire, if any, to continue to develop such a Selected Candidate (“Lilly Co-Development Option”) by way of providing written notice specifying the Research Plan Compound to be designated as the Selected Candidate. Exercise of the Lilly Co-Development Option shall occur on receipt of written notice by Immunocore. Exercise of the Lilly Co-Development Option in relation to any Selected Candidate shall also include Back-up Compounds resulting from the same Research Plan as the Selected Candidate.

5.2

Failure to Exercise Lilly Co-Development Option. If Lilly does not exercise the Lilly Co-Development Option with respect to any Research Plan Compound directed to the relevant Selected Target within [***] of the Completion of the Research Plan pertaining to such Selected Target (or such earlier time as may be possible at Lilly’s sole discretion), then on a Selected Target-by-Selected Target basis the Lilly Co-Development Option shall expire with respect to such Selected Target and Lilly shall have no further rights to develop any Research Plan Compounds resulting from the Research Plan pertaining to such Selected Target; provided, that, by written notice from Lilly to Immunocore prior to the expiration of the aforementioned [***] period, Lilly may transition any given Research Plan Compound from such Research Plan

to another Research Plan for further development against the Selected Target that is relevant to such other Research Plan. On expiry of the Lilly Co-Development Option with respect to a given Selected Target without exercise, Immunocore shall be entitled to further develop the Research Plan Compounds (subject to the proviso in the foregoing sentence) resulting from the Research Plan pertaining to such Selected Target in its sole discretion and without the need for recourse to or financial compensation being payable to Lilly.

5.3

Co-Development Plan Preparation. If Lilly does exercise the Lilly Co-Development Option in accordance with Clause 5.1 then Lilly shall prepare an initial Co-Development Plan for the further development of the Selected Candidate, and any Back-up Compounds as relevant, directed to such Selected Target. Lilly shall take the lead in preparing such Co-Development Plan and the Co-Development Plan shall be discussed and refined (to the extent reasonably necessary) by the Parties. Immunocore shall consult with Lilly, [***], in relation to the Co-Development Plan. The Co-Development Plan shall:

(a)

be prepared on a global basis;

(b)

include the responsibilities of each of the Parties under the Co-Development Plan including as relates to any manufacture of Product for Clinical Trials;

(c)

include an estimated budget for Phase I Clinical Trials;

(d)

include a high level plan setting out an anticipated route (including Phase III Clinical Trials and other required trials) to obtain Regulatory Approval for any Product including estimated timelines and estimated budget;

(e)

include the basis for calculation of any budgeted costs, including relevant FTE and FTE Rate information to be applied to such budget (which FTE Rate(s) shall be used to calculate any Development Costs reimbursable in accordance with Clause 13.8); and

(f)

in all cases, be prepared in accordance with Lilly’s internal requirements and processes for development plans and budgets relating to products at a similar stage of development to the relevant Selected Candidate or Back-up Compound.

For clarity, Lilly shall have the final decision in relation to the contents of each Co-Development Plan as prepared under this Clause 5.3.

5.4

Co-Development Plan Performance. Lilly shall have the right to initiate activities under any Co-Development Plan, including any updated or amended Co-Development Plan, upon finalization thereof and regardless of whether Immunocore has exercised the Immunocore Co-Development Option with respect to such Co-Development Plan in accordance with Clause 6.1 or determined whether it will exercise its applicable Opt-Out Right under Clause 8.1; provided, that, for clarity, should Immunocore exercise the Immunocore Co-Development Option, or not exercise its Opt-Out Right, with respect to any such Co-Development Plan, then Immunocore shall be responsible for its applicable portion of any Development Costs incurred by Lilly under such Co-Development Plan prior to the date of Immunocore’s exercise of the Immunocore Co-

Development Option or the date that Immunocore is deemed to not have exercised its Opt-Out Right under Clause 8.1.

ARTICLE 6 IMMUNOCORE CO-DEVELOPMENT OPTION

6.1

Immunocore Co-Development Option. On a Selected Target-by-Selected Target basis, and within [***] of delivery by Lilly of the final version of a Co-Development Plan for a given Selected Target, Immunocore shall notify Lilly in writing whether it wishes to co-fund (in accordance with Clause 7.1) and, solely to the extent provided in the co-development agreement referred to in Clause 7.1, if any, participate in, the development of the Selected Candidate and any Back-up Compounds directed to such Selected Target (“Immunocore Co-Development Option”). Notification of exercise of an Immunocore Co-Development Option shall include notification as to whether Immunocore is exercising its option at the twenty five percent (25%) or fifty percent (50%) co-development level. Exercise of an Immunocore Co-Development Option shall take effect on receipt of written notice of exercise by Lilly and, for clarity, shall take effect with respect to all Research Plan Compounds directed to the relevant Selected Target. Where Immunocore exercises an Immunocore Co-Development Option, the Co-Development Plan shall continue as such and Lilly and Immunocore shall share responsibility for the further development expenses of the Selected Candidate and any Backup Compounds in accordance with the applicable Co-Development Plan and Article 7. For clarity, exercise of the Immunocore Co-Development Option shall be subject to the Opt-Out Rights of Immunocore set out in Article 8 below.

6.2

Failure to Exercise Immunocore Co-Development Option. Where Immunocore does not exercise an Immunocore Co-Development Option within the [***] described in Clause 6.1, (i) Lilly shall take over full responsibility for the research and development of the relevant Selected Candidate and any associated Back-up Compounds, (ii) the Co-Development Plan for such Selected Candidate shall become a Development Plan, and (iii) Immunocore shall have no right to develop or commercialize, either directly or through an Affiliate or Third Party, any Compounds directed to the relevant Selected Target.

ARTICLE 7 CO-DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND CO-DEVELOPMENT GENERALLY

7.1

Co-Development Generally. As between the Parties, Lilly shall be responsible for performing each Co-Development Plan unless otherwise provided in such Co-Development Plan; provided, that the Development Costs incurred in the performance of the Co-Development Plan (whichever Party incurs such costs) shall be shared between the Parties with Immunocore paying either fifty percent (50%) of the Development Costs actually incurred or twenty five percent (25%) of the Development Costs actually incurred by either Party depending on the level at which the Immunocore Co-Development Option was exercised by Immunocore under Clause 6.1 and subject to Clause 13.8 below. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Immunocore will not conduct any development or manufacturing activities under the Co-Development Plan unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, including, to the extent reasonably requested by either Party, pursuant to a separate written agreement, which sets forth appropriate quality, compliance, auditing and other terms and conditions applicable to such work.

7.2	Regulatory Matters.

7.2.1

As between the Parties, Lilly shall be responsible for holding and applying for any Regulatory Approvals or XXXx.

7.2.2

Lilly (or one of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) shall be responsible, and act as the sole point of contact, for communications with regulatory authorities in connection with the development, commercialization, and manufacturing of Products. During the Development Term and thereafter, Immunocore shall not initiate, with respect to any Research Plan Compounds or Product, any meetings or contact with regulatory authorities without Lilly’s prior written consent unless such contact or response is required for Immunocore to comply with its obligations to regulatory authorities; provided, that, in the event of any such required contact or response, Immunocore shall provide only such information as is necessary to comply with its legal obligations and shall promptly update Lilly regarding any such interactions. To the extent Immunocore receives any written or oral communication from any regulatory authority relating to any Research Plan Compounds or Product, Immunocore shall (a) refer such regulatory authority to Lilly, and (b) as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within [***]), notify Lilly and provide Lilly with a copy of any written communication received by Immunocore or, if applicable, complete and accurate minutes of such oral communication. At the request of Lilly, Immunocore shall make available to Lilly, [***], a qualified representative who shall, together with the representatives of Lilly, participate in and contribute to meetings with the regulatory authorities with respect to regulatory matters relating to the Research Plan Compounds, ImmTACs generally, Licensed Intellectual Property or Reserved Activities.

7.2.3

Prior to receipt of Regulatory Approval for a given Joint Selected Candidate (or a Product containing a Joint Selected Candidate):

(a)

to the extent that Lilly (or one of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) has any material communications with any regulatory [***] relating to any Joint Selected Candidate (or a Product containing a Joint Selected Candidate), Lilly shall provide a copy of such communication to Immunocore as soon as reasonably possible; and

(b)

Immunocore shall be entitled to have a single representative attend[***], material and scheduled meetings, including material and scheduled oral discussions, with regulatory authorities [***] relating to any Joint Selected Candidate (or a Product containing a Joint Selected Candidate).

For clarity, the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Clause 7.2.3 shall expire upon receipt of first Regulatory Approval for such Joint Selected Candidate (or a Product containing a Joint Selected Candidate).

7.2.4

7.2.5

Nothing in this Clause 7.2 shall require Immunocore to breach its obligations to any regulatory authority under Applicable Law.

7.3

Co-Development Plan. The Parties accept that each Co-Development Plan will change and develop as the applicable Joint Selected Candidate progresses through development, Clinical Trials and to Regulatory Approval. The JDC shall be responsible for reviewing and amending each Co-Development Plan as necessary, however it is understood that Lilly will be responsible for preparation of any amendments (including such amendments as may result from proposals initially made by Immunocore either directly to Lilly or through the JDC). Lilly will update each Co-Development Plan (including the budget set out therein) in accordance with Lilly’s standard internal budgeting procedures, but in any event to cover the anticipated costs of the next phase of Clinical Trials. Such budget will be discussed at the JDC and approved at the JDC. Both Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to progress the Co-Development Plan and to develop at least one Joint Selected Candidate in each Co-Development Plan through Clinical Trials and through to commercialization. On a Co-Development Plan by Co-Development Plan basis, at any point during the Co-Development Term, Lilly may decide in its discretion to add a new Indication to the Co-Development Plan. Prior to such introduction, Lilly will discuss with Immunocore addition of such new Indication and associated changes to the Co-Development Plan and this Agreement, if any (it being understood by the Parties that neither Party has an obligation to amend this Agreement).

7.4	Co-Development Costs Generally and Changes to Co-Development Plans and Budgets.

7.4.1

The Parties shall share Development Costs in accordance with Clause 13.8 (subject to Immunocore’s Opt-Out Right with respect to any given Co-Development Plan under Article 8). For clarity, in the event that Immunocore does not exercise its Opt-Out Right under Clause 13.8 with respect to a given opt-out point under Clause 8.1, Immunocore will be responsible for its portion of Development Costs in accordance with Clause 13.8 up to the next opt-out point, if any, under Clause 8.1.

7.4.2

Any changes to a Co-Development Plan (including to the budget set out in such Co-Development Plan) will be made in good faith and with a bona fide intention that such changes are required for the successful development and commercialization of any Joint Selected Candidate or Back-up Compound that is the subject of such Co-Development Plan. In updating a Co-Development Plan, Lilly shall make any updates in good faith and in-line with any internal budgets it has approval for. Immunocore may request additional information in relation to any changes to the extent reasonably necessary to justify or further explain any changes made to a Co-Development Plan. Lilly will respond to all queries as soon as reasonably possible.

7.5	Subcontractors.

7.5.1

Lilly may subcontract portions of its work under the Co-Development Plan to (i) any Affiliate or (ii) Third Parties as set out in the Co-Development Plan and otherwise in accordance with Lilly’s usual practices; provided, such subcontract is in writing and is consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the confidentiality provisions of Article 16, and any applicable Quality Agreement, and any rights granted to such subcontractor are restricted to only those rights necessary for performance by

such subcontractor of the portions of work delegated on behalf of Lilly; provided, that Lilly will not engage any sub-contractor to provide CMC or manufacturing-related services whose primary business involves [***], without the prior written consent of Immunocore. Lilly will remain responsible for all acts or omissions of any subcontractor it appoints (including any acts or omissions which result in a breach of the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Quality Agreement) and shall ensure that each subcontractor complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Quality Agreement. Quality Agreements must be established with any subcontractor performing GMP activities prior to them supplying materials or services supporting Clinical Trials or other GMP activities. Without limiting the foregoing, if Lilly desires to use any subcontractor selected by Immunocore for use under any Research Plan to provide services in connection with a Co-Development Plan, then, unless otherwise agreed by Lilly, such work shall be done under a separate subcontract agreement directly between Lilly and such subcontractor (including an appropriate Quality Agreement between Lilly and such subcontractor has been executed).

7.5.2

If Immunocore is assigned any activities under the Co-Development Plan, Immunocore may subcontract portions of its work under the Co-Development Plan to (i) any Affiliate or (ii) Third Parties as set out in the Co-Development Plan; provided, such subcontract is in writing and is consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the confidentiality provisions of Article 16, and any applicable Quality Agreement, and any rights granted to such subcontractor are restricted to only those rights necessary for performance by such subcontractor of the portions of work delegated on behalf of Immunocore. Immunocore will remain responsible for all acts or omissions of any subcontractor it appoints (including any acts or omissions which result in a breach of the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Quality Agreement) and shall ensure that each subcontractor complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Quality Agreement. Immunocore shall notify Lilly of any sub-contractor appointments [***].

7.6	Co-Development Term.

7.6.1

All such reports, information and data provided by a Party shall be considered the providing Party’s Confidential Information.

7.7.2

Development Records. Each Party shall maintain records of its performance of each, if any, Co-Development Plan (or cause such records to be maintained) in sufficient

detail and in good scientific manner as will properly reflect all work done and results achieved by or on behalf of such Party in the performance of such Co-Development Plan. [***]. All other records shall be maintained by each Party during the applicable Co-Development Term and for a minimum of [***] thereafter. All such records of a Party shall be considered such Party’s Confidential Information. The Party responsible for any Clinical Trial shall also procure that any Third Parties involved in any Clinical Trial maintain all records relevant to the Clinical Trial for a minimum of [***] or such longer period required under Applicable Laws and that the other Party is given access to such records as may be reasonably necessary for such other Party to comply with Applicable Laws or perform its obligations hereunder.

7.7.3

Quality. Each Co-Development Plan shall be performed at all times in accordance with all Applicable Laws including as applicable requirements of GxP. Lilly (or Immunocore, to the extent applicable) shall ensure that any manufacture and supply of Joint Selected Candidate for any Clinical Trials is carried out in accordance with cGMPs and applicable Quality Agreements.

7.7.4

Inspections. The Parties shall notify each other of any inspections carried out or requested by any Regulatory Authority and in each case to the extent such inspection or request relates to any Joint Selected Candidate or Back-up Compounds under any Co-Development Plan or to the facility at which any Joint Selected Candidate or Back-up Compound is being manufactured or stored or any Clinical Trial site or other Third Party site or facility relevant to any Joint Selected Candidate or Back-up Compound (including where such sites are managed by a CRO or other Third Party). [***], both Parties shall be entitled to present at such inspections to the extent such inspections relate solely to such Product and to the extent reasonably possible; provided, that the Party who is not in control of the relevant facility (either directly or through a subcontract) shall only be permitted to attend such inspections as a silent observer. Where any inspection identifies any non-compliance with Applicable Laws then the Party responsible for the facility shall correct any such non-compliance and shall keep the other Party informed of the steps being taken to correct any non-compliance.

7.8	Efforts. The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct their respective tasks under each, if any, Co-Development Plan. Lilly shall notify Immunocore of any decisions to suspend or terminate any part of a Co-Development Plan.

ARTICLE 8 OPT-OUT RIGHTS

8.1	Opt-Out Right Generally.

8.1.1

In relation to each, if any, Co-Development Plan for each Joint Selected Candidate (and, as relevant, Back-up Compounds), Immunocore shall be given the right to opt-out of involvement in such Co-Development Plan. Such right to opt-out (“Opt-Out Right”) shall apply for a period of [***] from each of the following:

(a)

the date that [***] Phase I Clinical Trials under such Co-Development Plan [***] for such Co-Development Plan as such Co-Development Plan (and the budget therein) was provided to Immunocore pursuant to Clause 6.1;

(b)

the date that the JDC finally approves an updated global Co-Development Plan that was submitted by Lilly under Clause 7.3 covering anticipated Phase II Clinical Trials and including an updated budget covering Phase II Clinical Trials;

(c)

the date that [***] Phase II Clinical Trials [***] under such Co-Development Plan [***] for such Co-Development Plan as such Co-Development Plan (and the budget therein) was provided to Immunocore pursuant to Clause 7.3 [***]. For clarity, this Clause 8.1.1(c) does not apply to Phase III Clinical Trials (including costs attributable to the Phase III Clinical Trial portion of any “Phase II/Phase III” clinical trial as specified in the applicable Co-Development Plan budget) or Phase IV Clinical Trials; and

(d)

the date that the JDC finally approves an updated global Co-Development Plan that was submitted by Lilly under Clause 7.3 covering anticipated Phase III Clinical Trials and including an updated budget covering Phase III Clinical Trials.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties will work together in good faith to expedite the decision-making process related to JDC approval of each Co-Development Plan, and Immunocore’s decision whether to exercise an applicable Opt-Out Right, to the extent reasonably practicable so as not to delay further development of the applicable Research Plan Compounds and Products.

8.1.2

In the event that Immunocore fails to pay its portion of any Development Costs in accordance with Clause 13.8, and such failure persists for a period of [***] after written notice of non-payment by Lilly, then Immunocore shall be deemed to have exercised the previous Opt-Out Right.

8.2	Opt-Out Right Exercise.

8.2.1

Immunocore shall exercise its Opt-Out Right, on a Co-Development Plan-by-Co-Development Plan (i.e., on a Selected Target-by-Selected Target) basis, by notice in writing to Lilly. Where no notification is received from Immunocore within the [***] period described in Clause 8.1, Immunocore will be deemed not to have exercised its Opt-Out Right with respect to such Co—Development Plan.

8.2.2

Opt-out from a Co-Development Plan shall occur on receipt of written opt-out notice by Lilly; provided, that Immunocore shall continue to be responsible for its share of Development Costs that are incurred through the date that Lilly receives the written opt-out notice (including, for clarity, costs incurred by Lilly but not yet invoiced to Immunocore to the extent such costs arose prior to date of receipt of written opt-out notice). For clarity, to the extent that a Co-Development Plan includes any activities to be performed by Immunocore, such activities shall be transferred to Lilly unless otherwise agreed. As of the date of exercise of an Opt-Out Right, Immunocore shall have no further obligation to pay any Development Costs incurred by Lilly after the date of exercise of the applicable Opt-Out Right.

8.2.3

In the event that Immunocore exercises its Opt-Out Right under Clauses 8.1.1(a) or (b), then Immunocore will be credited (for purposes of Article 13) for having funded development through the end of Phase I Clinical Trials.

8.2.4

In the event that Immunocore exercises its Opt-Out Right under Clauses 8.1.1(c) or (d), then Immunocore will be credited (for purposes of Article 13) for having funded development through the end of Phase II Clinical Trials.

8.2.5

In the event that Immunocore is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Right under Clause 8.1.2, then:

(a)

if such deemed opt-out occurs during Phase I Clinical Trials, Immunocore will not be credited (for purposes of Article 13) with having funded any Co-Development Plan and it will be, with respect to the relevant Research Plan Compounds, like Immunocore never exercised the applicable Immunocore Co-Development Option;

(b)

if such deemed opt-out occurs during Phase II Clinical Trials, Immunocore will be credited (for purposes of Article 13) for having funded development through the end of Phase I Clinical Trials with respect to the relevant Research Plan Compounds; and

(c)

if such deemed opt-out occurs during Phase III Clinical Trials, Immunocore will be credited (for purposes of Article 13) for having funded development through the end of Phase II Clinical Trials with respect to the relevant Research Plan Compounds; provided, that Lilly shall reimburse those Development Costs that Immunocore has paid for Phase III Clinical Trials, with respect to the relevant Research Plan Compounds, with such reimbursement being paid [***] until such time as the total reimbursable amount has been paid. For clarity, such reimbursement shall not include any amounts due under Clause 14.6 in connection with late payments.

8.3	Development Plan Conversion.

8.3.1

On exercise of any Opt-Out Rights, the relevant Co-Development Plan shall become a Development Plan and Lilly shall take over full responsibility for such Development Plan and for the further development and commercialization of Research Plan Compounds directed at the Selected Target that is the subject of such Development Plan (including the relevant Selected Candidate (such Research Plan Compound having ceased to be a Joint Selected Candidate as a result of Immunocore’s exercise of its Opt-Out Rights with respect thereto) and Back-Up Compounds). Where Lilly takes over responsibility for any Development Plan (whether under this Clause 8.3 or under Clause 6.2), it shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform such Development Plan (as such Development Plan may be amended from time-to-time at Lilly’s sole discretion) and develop at least one Selected Candidate for each Development Plan through Clinical Trials and to commercialize such Selected Candidate. Lilly shall provide progress updates to the AAC in relation to the

performance of each such Development Plan and the anticipated next steps relating to such Development Plan.

8.3.2

Should Lilly request Immunocore to perform any part of a Development Plan, and subject to Clause 4.7, such participation shall be subject to agreement of Immunocore and will be subject to reimbursement of cost at the FTE Rate based on time and effort provided by Immunocore and all expenses necessarily incurred in performance of the activities under such Development Plan.

8.3.3

Should Lilly at any time elect not to continue with the development of any Selected Candidate or Back-up Compound in any Development Plan, Lilly shall notify Immunocore in writing. For clarity, consistent with the definition of “Development Plan,” Lilly shall only provide such notice upon Lilly ceasing, or taking a decision to cease, all, without any intention to resume any, development activities with respect to all Research Plan Compounds that were developed under the Research Plan relevant to the Selected Target that is the subject of such Development Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Clause 8.3.3 shall have no further force or effect from and after receipt of first Regulatory Approval for a Product directed to the Selected Target that is the subject of such Development Plan.

8.3.4

Following receipt of Lilly’s notification, if any, under Clause 8.3.3 regarding permanent cessation of all development activities with respect to all Research Plan Compounds that were developed under the Research Plan relevant to the Selected Target that is the subject of a given Development Plan, Immunocore shall be entitled to take over responsibility for the further development and commercialization of such Selected Candidate and Back-up Compounds subject to the relevant Development Plan in its sole discretion and including as relevant together with any Third Party and to terminate the relevant Exclusive License in accordance with Clause 20.5; provided, that, the Parties shall negotiate, in good faith, appropriate financial compensation to be paid by Immunocore to Lilly so that Lilly may share in the value received by Immunocore in connection with such Selected Candidate or Back-up Compound, which compensation shall be in the form of a royalty, as soon as reasonably possible [***]; provided, that, if the Parties are unable to reasonably agree regarding such consideration, then either Party may refer the matter for resolution to an independent expert, by notice in writing to the other Party. The independent expert shall be appointed by the Parties by mutual agreement or in the absence of such agreement within [***] of written notice requesting expert resolution, by the International Chamber of Commerce; provided, that, in any event, such expert shall have at least [***] experience in the area of life sciences business development, such that the expert will have a reasonable appreciation for the various factors that determine the value attributable to a life sciences industry asset. The independent expert shall determine what documentation and evidence it requires from each Party in order to reach a decision on the level of compensation payable by Immunocore to Lilly and shall reach a decision as soon as reasonably possible. Such decision shall be binding on both Parties in the absence of fraud or manifest error.

ARTICLE 9 COMMERCIALIZATION

9.1

Commercialization Generally. Lilly shall be responsible for the commercialization and manufacture of any Product which obtains Regulatory Approval and, where such Product arises from a Joint Selected Candidate, the Parties may co-promote such Product in certain countries in accordance with the Co-Commercialization Agreement and/or a subsequent detailing agreement (as described in Exhibit G).

9.2	Co-Commercialization Agreement.

9.2.1

Not later than [***] after expiry of the last Opt-Out Right with respect to a given Joint Selected Candidate without exercise by Immunocore of the applicable Immunocore Co-Development Option, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and agree to the terms of an agreement, or an appropriate amending and restating of this Agreement, covering the profit/loss sharing and governance that will apply to Products containing a Joint Selected Candidate, and including terms related to the possible detailing of such Product(s) by Immunocore (subject to sub-clauses (i) – (iii) below) (such agreement or amended and restated iteration of this Agreement, “Co-Commercialization Agreement”). Such Co-Commercialization Agreement, or amending and restating of this Agreement, shall include the principles set out in Exhibit G, and, until the Parties agree regarding the terms and conditions of such agreement or amending and restating of this Agreement, Exhibit G (in conjunction with this Agreement) shall control the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to the commercialization of Products containing a Joint Selected Candidate. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Immunocore’s right to detail, or otherwise co-promote, the relevant Joint Selected Candidate or Back-Up Compound shall be subject to: [***]. In the event that the foregoing sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are not all satisfied, then Immunocore shall have no right to detail, or otherwise co-promote, any Products containing a Joint Selected Candidate.

9.2.2

Lilly acknowledges that on a Joint Selected Candidate-by-Joint Selected Candidate basis, Immunocore may in the future desire to nominate a Third Party to receive its relevant share of profits resulting from sale of any Product containing a Joint Selected Candidate in accordance with any Co-Commercialization Agreement. Such Third Party may be nominated at any point after the start of any Co-Development Plan. Immunocore may direct Lilly to pay Immunocore’s relevant share of the profits into an account other than one held by Immunocore. Such nomination right shall be subject to Lilly complying with its standard compliance policies in relation to the making of payments to Third Parties, the application of which will be carried out as soon as reasonably possible after notification of Third Party bank details by Immunocore and notifying Immunocore that such nominee is reasonably acceptable to Lilly.

9.3

Lilly Independent Commercialization. Where Lilly has exercised the Lilly Co-Development Option with respect to a given Selected Target and Research Plan Compounds directed to such Selected Target (including the Selected Candidate and Back-up Compounds directed to such Selected Target) and Immunocore has (i) not exercised the Immunocore Co-Development Option with respect to such Selected Target and Research Plan Compounds directed to such

Selected Target (including the Selected Candidate and Back-up Compounds directed to such Selected Target) or (ii) has exercised the Immunocore Co-Development Option with respect to such Selected Target and Research Plan Compounds directed to such Selected Target (including the Selected Candidate and Back-up Compounds directed to such Selected Target), but has also exercised (or been deemed to exercise) its Opt-Out Rights with respect to such Selected Target and Research Plan Compounds directed to such Selected Target (including the Selected Candidate and Back-up Compounds directed to such Selected Target), Lilly shall have responsibility for the commercialization of any Product arising from the applicable Development Plan. Lilly shall have the sole right and authority to control all decisions related to the commercialization and manufacture of such Products. Subject to Immunocore identifying and delivering [***] Research Plan Compounds that, [***], meet the Lead Candidate Criteria, on a Selected Target-by-Selected Target basis, and Lilly exercising the Lilly Co-Development Option with respect to such a Research Plan Compound, Lilly agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to research, develop and commercialize at least one Product that binds to an HLA-presented antigen derived from such Selected Target within the Field.

9.4

Lilly Independent Updates. In relation to any commercialization by Lilly under Clause 9.3, Lilly shall continue to keep Immunocore informed of the commercialization and further development of any relevant Product and shall provide regular updates to the AAC with respect thereto. Lilly shall also provide to Immunocore, on or about each anniversary of this Agreement, a written report summarizing Lilly’s progress in the development and commercialization of Products arising from any such Development Plan in the past year, including a forecast of the activities that may be conducted in the next [***] from date of report, which annual written report is intended to provide Immunocore during the Term with information reasonably necessary to determine Lilly’s progress in developing and commercializing the relevant Product, including any events for which Milestone Payments are required. Immunocore may address questions on the annual reports to the Alliance Managers or AAC following receipt of such written reports. Additionally, each Party shall provide to the other prompt notice of any material safety events pertaining to Products, Compounds or other ImmTACs including any SUSARs or other material events which might have general applicability to the use of Compounds or ImmTACs to treat patients.

ARTICLE 10 LICENSES

10.1

Research License. Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing in full force and effect conterminously with the relevant Exclusive License granted under Clause 10.2.2, Immunocore hereby grants to Lilly a royalty-free, non-transferable, sublicenseable, sole ((i.e., a “co-exclusive” license) with Immunocore with respect to each Research Plan and Co-Development Plan) and exclusive (with respect to each Development Plan) research license in the Field under the Licensed Intellectual Property for the purposes of Lilly performing each applicable Research Plan, Co-Development Plan or Development Plan (“Research License”). Each Research License shall be specific to the research and development of the Research Plan Compounds specific to the relevant Research Plan, Development Plan or Co-Development Plan and directed at the applicable Selected Target including any associated Diagnostic Products.

For the avoidance of doubt, on a Selected Target-by-Selected Target basis, upon the termination of the applicable Exclusive License with respect to Research Plan Compounds directed to such Selected Target, the related Research License shall also terminate.

For clarity, the Research License does not include the right to conduct any Reserved Activities.

10.2	License Grant from Immunocore.

10.2.1

Option Grant. During the Option Period, Immunocore hereby grants to Lilly an option to obtain up to three (3) Exclusive Licenses, on a Selected Target-by-Selected Target basis.

10.2.2

Option Exercise and Exclusive License Grant. The options under Clause 10.2.1 shall be exercised automatically on Acceptance of the relevant Selected Target and, on Acceptance, Immunocore hereby grants to Lilly an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing (to the extent provided herein), right and license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under the Licensed Intellectual Property in each case to (i) make, have made, use, import and have imported Research Plan Compounds and/or Products, and (ii) sell, have sold and offer for sale Products, in each case of sub-Clauses (i) and (ii), in the Field and directed to the relevant Selected Target (each, an “Exclusive License”). The Exclusive License shall be subject to the following:

(a)

The Exclusive License with respect to a given Selected Target shall terminate on expiry of the Lilly Co-Development Option with respect to such Selected Target without exercise of such option by Lilly;

(b)

The Exclusive License shall permit, to the extent applicable, co-development and co-commercialization of any Product by Immunocore as part of any Co-Development Plan or Co-Commercialization Agreement;

(c)

The Exclusive License shall not include the right to conduct any Reserved Activity; and

(d)

The Exclusive License with respect to a given Selected Target shall terminate on notification from Lilly (in accordance with Clause 7.6.1 or Clause 8.3.3, as and to the extent applicable) that it is ceasing, without any intention to resume, its involvement in the Research Plan, Co-Development Plan, or Development Plan applicable to such Selected Target prior to obtaining first Regulatory Approval for a Product directed at such Selected Target. For clarity, consistent with the definition of “Development Plan” and “Co-Development Plan” Lilly shall only provide such notice upon Lilly determining to cease all development activities with respect to all Research Plan Compounds that were developed under the Research Plan relevant to the Selected Target that is the subject of such Development Plan or Co-Development Plan, as applicable, and without any intention to resume any such activities and prior to receipt of first Regulatory Approval for a Product that was the subject of such plan.

10.2.3

Exclusivity. In addition, on a Selected Target-by-Selected Target basis, from and after the designation of such Selected Target (including, for clarity, the Initial Targets) and during the duration of any Exclusive License, neither Immunocore nor any of its Affiliates shall work under an internal research program or conduct, or grant any license under the Licensed Intellectual Property to enable or otherwise permit, any research, development or commercialization activities relating to (i) such Selected Target or any epitope derived from such Selected Target (save as explicitly provided in Clause 4.8); or (ii) any compound (including any ImmTAC or TCR) directed to, such Selected Target or any epitope derived from such Selected Target (save as explicitly provided in Clause 4.8). Subject to Clause 4.8, there shall be no breach of this Clause 10.2.3 where any development or research carried out by Immunocore or any of its Affiliates or Third Party licensees (a) identifies any ImmTAC or other compound which is capable of binding to a Selected Target or any epitope derived from such Selected Target, provided such development or research was not directed to the identification of an ImmTAC or other compound directed to the Selected Target, or any epitope derived from such Selected Target, [***]; or (b) identifies any data relevant to a Selected Target or any epitope derived from such Selected Target, provided such development or research was of a general nature and not directed specifically to the Selected Target or any Research Plan Compound [***], provided, that such data shall also be promptly provided to Lilly (except to the extent prohibited by written obligations of confidentiality to a Third Party) and, for clarity, in no event shall this sub-clause (b) permit the use of Selected Targets including any epitope derived from such Selected Target, including any Lilly Sequence, or Research Plan Compounds, for any Third Party or Immunocore’s internal research.

10.2.4

Sublicenses. Lilly shall have the right to sublicense the rights granted under Clauses 10.1, 10.2.2 and 10.2.3 to its Affiliates or Third Parties (in each case through multiple tiers); provided that in each case such sublicense:

(a)

is consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

(b)

is in writing.

Lilly shall continue to remain responsible for all reporting obligations under this Agreement during the Term. Lilly shall be responsible for all actions and omissions of any Sublicensee including where such actions and omissions result in a breach of the terms of this Agreement. Prior to the grant of any sublicense to a Third Party [***], Lilly shall notify Immunocore of the identity of such Third Party Sublicensee and Immunocore shall have [***] to object to such sublicensee, such objection to be [***]. Where Immunocore reasonably objects to the granting of such sub-license, Lilly shall not be entitled to sub-license to such Third Party. For clarity, no grant of any sublicense to a Third Party or an Affiliate shall relieve Lilly of its obligations hereunder.

10.3	Lilly License.

10.3.1

License to Immunocore.

(a)

Lilly hereby grants to Immunocore a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense to the Third Party Partners in accordance with Clause 10.3.1(b) and subject to Clause 10.2.3, under the Lilly Foreground IP for the purpose of making, having made, selling, supplying, using and importing ImmTACs (or products comprising ImmTACs) to any Target other than the Selected Targets (the “Grantback License”). For clarity, the Grantback License does not include any right under any Lilly Background IP.

(b)

Any grant of a sublicense by Immunocore under Clause 10.3.1(a) shall only be granted to a Third Party Partner to the extent that such Third Party Partner has granted to Immunocore substantially similar rights to its equivalent Intellectual Property Rights to those set out in Clause 10.3.1(a) including a right to sublicense such Third Party Intellectual Property Rights to Lilly and such Intellectual Property Rights are sublicensed to Lilly hereunder and Immunocore shall advise Lilly regarding the identity of any such sublicensee (provided Lilly hereby agrees to keep such notification confidential and that such notification will be held only by Lilly’s legal department and only accessed by such legal department and external legal advisers to Lilly). Where Lilly takes a sublicense under such Third Party Intellectual Property Rights then Immunocore shall be entitled to notify the relevant Third Party Partner (if such notification is required) that Lilly is a sub-licensee and the date it became a sub-licensee, provided such Third Party Partner has agreed in writing to keep such notification confidential and that such notification will be held only by the Third Party Partner’s legal department and only accessed by such legal department and external legal advisers to such Third Party.

(c)

Lilly hereby grants to Immunocore a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license under the Lilly Background IP and the Lilly Foreground IP, in each case, as necessary for Immunocore to perform the Research Plan, any Co-Development Plan and any obligations under any Co-Commercialization Agreement. Immunocore shall not have the right to sub-license such rights without Lilly’s prior written consent.

(d)

Where Immunocore takes over any development or commercialization of any Selected Candidate or Product in accordance with Clauses 7.6, 8.3 or 20.8.6, as applicable, Lilly will also grant to Immunocore a non-exclusive worldwide license under Lilly Foreground IP or Lilly Background IP, to the extent strictly necessary in each case for Immunocore to continue with such development or commercialization of any Selected Candidate or Product. Such license shall be subject to payment to Lilly of the amounts specified in, or otherwise agreed to pursuant to, Clauses 7.6, 8.3 or 20.8.6.

10.4	No Additional Licenses. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall grant either Party any right, title or interest in and to the know-how, Patents or other Intellectual Property Rights of the other Party (either expressly or by implication or estoppel).

ARTICLE 11 TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

In addition to any technology transfer contemplated by any Research Plan, following completion of any Research Plan and as part of any Co-Development and/or Development Plan, Immunocore will, at Immunocore’s sole cost and expense:

(a)

assist Lilly in establishing a CMC supply chain and will allow and enable Lilly to work with Immunocore’s CMOs (to the extent relevant). Such assistance will include technical training sufficient to enable Lilly or its designated CMO to use such manufacturing information and to make Back-Up Compounds, Selected Candidates, Joint Selected Candidate and Products; and

(b)

provide ongoing technical assistance in relation to Lilly’s development and manufacturing of Back-Up Compounds, Selected Candidates, Joint Selected Candidates and Products as reasonably requested from time to time and during the Term.

The details of what technical assistance and transfer of technology will be required from Immunocore will be agreed as part of a plan [***]. The level of assistance provided under this Article 11 shall be limited to a total aggregate of [***] at any time prior to IND filing for the applicable Product coming out of the relevant Research Plan unless otherwise agreed between the Parties in writing; provided, that Immunocore shall provide such additional assistance as Lilly may reasonably request, with such assistance provided at the FTE Rate. For clarity, the technology transfer described in this Article 11 may be undertaken up to three (3) times (i.e., once with respect to each Research Plan).

ARTICLE 12 DEVELOPMENT OF ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS

12.1

Minor Modifications. Lilly may undertake modifications to any Selected Candidate that do not require the performance of Reserved Activities at any time in accordance with a Co-Development Plan or Development Plan, as applicable. Because such modified Selected Candidate is part of the “Product” definition, no Development Milestones will be paid in connection with any such modified Selected Candidate unless such modified Selected Candidate replaces the development of the Selected Candidate in which case the Development Milestones will become payable in the same way as for the Selected Candidate and, for clarity, such modified Selected Candidate shall deemed a Replacement Back-up Compound; provided, that, for clarity, Net Sales associated with any such modified Selected Candidate shall be added to Net Sales of any other Product(s) directed to the same Selected Target.

12.2

Back-up Compounds. Subject to Clause 4.7 with respect to Reserved Activities, Lilly may develop Back-up Compounds with respect to any Product at any time in accordance with a Co-Development Plan or Development Plan, as applicable. In the event that any such Back-up Compound becomes a Replacement Back-up Compound, then such Replacement Back-up

Compound would, with respect to Development Milestones, “step-in” to the place of the Product it is replacing in accordance with Clause 13.4.2(e). Without limiting the foregoing, Lilly has no right to commercialize any Back-up Compound that is not a Replacement Back-up Compound; provided, that should Lilly desire to commercialize a Back-up Compound (other than a Replacement Back-up Compound), such commercialization shall be subject to negotiation of applicable financial terms under Clause 12.3.

12.3	New Products.

12.3.1

In the event that Lilly desires to pursue the development and commercialization of a Next Generation Compound, Additional HLA Compound or Back-up Compound (other than a Replacement Back-up Compound) (in each case, a “New Product”), it shall so notify Immunocore and the Parties shall discuss and agree in good faith regarding the financial consideration to be provided to Immunocore in connection therewith and any other applicable terms and conditions relevant thereto (and the Parties will either execute a separate agreement in connection therewith or amend this Agreement to include such New Product and related Compounds). The Parties agree that, as of the Effective Date they intend that, the starting point for any negotiations as to applicable terms for any New Product will be that the principles for development and/or co-development (including opt-in and opt-out rights) for a Research Plan Compound will apply to any such New Product.

12.3.2

Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge the existence of patient populations that may justify development of Additional HLA Compounds and the Parties will discuss in good faith the possibility of developing such Additional HLA Compounds with respect to a given Selected Candidate not later than the end of Phase II Clinical Trials of such Selected Candidate (or earlier to the extent adequate information is available). In addition, at any time during the Term, Immunocore may propose the development of an Additional HLA Compound with respect to a given Selected Candidate and Lilly shall consider such proposal in good faith; provided, that, for clarity, Lilly has no obligation to agree to such development [***]. If Lilly agrees to do so, the Parties will negotiate terms regarding such an Additional HLA Compound in accordance with the first sentence of this Clause 12.3 If, however, Lilly does not desire to develop an Additional HLA Compound, it will consider in good faith a proposal from Immunocore to permit Immunocore to undertake such development itself [***]. The Parties agree to discuss the possible development of an Additional HLA Compound not later than the end of the first Phase II Clinical Trial (or, if earlier, such time as the Parties agree that adequate information is available to support such a discussion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Parties cannot agree regarding the terms under which an Additional HLA Compound will be developed (whether by the Parties jointly or by Immunocore individually), then neither Party shall have the right to develop or commercialize either itself, or with or through an Affiliate or Third Party, such an Additional HLA Compound.

ARTICLE 13 FINANCIAL TERMS

13.1	Upfront Fee. Lilly shall pay a fee of US$ forty-five (45) million to Immunocore. Such payment is due as of the Effective Date and shall be made no later than [***] after the Effective Date.

13.2	Opt-in Fee. Lilly shall pay a fee of US$ ten (10) million to Immunocore within [***] of the date of exercise of each Lilly Co-Development Option.

13.3

Co-commercialization Profit/Loss Sharing. Provided Immunocore has exercised the Immunocore Co-Development Option with respect to a given Co-Development Plan and has not exercised any Opt-out Rights, Immunocore shall be entitled to a share in the costs and profits associated with the worldwide development and sale of any relevant Product. The level of cost share borne by, and profit share payable to, Immunocore shall be set based on the level at which Immunocore exercises the Immunocore Co-Development Option, namely either fifty percent (50%) or twenty five percent (25%). The mechanism for such payments and the calculation of cost and profit share shall be agreed as part of the Co-Commercialization Agreement in accordance with Exhibit G.

13.4	Development Milestones.

13.4.1

The milestones set forth below (“Development Milestones”) are payable on a Product by Product basis. Development Milestones will only be payable by Lilly where lmmunocore has not exercised the lmmunocore Co-Development Option or where lmmunocore (having exercised the lmmunocore Co-Development Option) then exercises any of its Opt-Out Rights, but in such case only with respect to Development Milestones occurring after the exercise of the Opt-Out Right. In such circumstances, Lilly will pay lmmunocore the following one-time payments upon each Product achieving the indicated Development Milestone, the level of payment being based on the point at which lmmunocore ceases to share the responsibility for the development of the relevant Product:

Milestone Event	Co- Development Option Not Exercised	Exercised Phase I Opt- Out Right at 25%	Exercised Phase I Opt-Out Right at 50%	Exercised Phase II Opt-Out Right at 25%	Exercised Phase II Opt-Out Right at 50%
[***]	[***]

[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]

[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]

[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]

[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]

13.4.2

Certain Terms. It is understood and agreed that the following terms shall apply to the Milestone Events achieved under Clause 13.4.1.

(a)

Payments under Clause 13.4.1 shall be due only once for each Product under each Development Plan in the first [***] Indications to achieve such Milestone Event for such Indication. Should the same Product receive Regulatory Approval for a [***] of the above milestones shall be payable where the relevant Product achieves the above Milestone Events in such [***]. Milestone payments shall not be due for the fourth Indication or any other Indications for the same Product.

(b)

Payments shall be due under Clause 13.4.1 by Lilly regardless of whether it is Lilly itself that meets the Milestone Event(as defined in the table in Clause 13.4.1) or where such Milestone Event is met through the actions of any Sublicensee of Lilly (including Affiliates of Lilly). Lilly shall procure that any Sublicensee agrees to notify Lilly, as applicable, promptly following any Milestone Event being met by such Sublicensee.

(c)

If, for any reason, a particular Milestone Event specified in Clause 13.4.1 is achieved with respect to a given Product and Indication without one or more preceding Milestone Events with respect to such Product and Indication having been achieved, then upon the achievement of such Milestone Event, both the Milestone Event Payment applicable to such achieved Milestone Event and the Milestone Event-related Payment(s) applicable to such preceding unachieved Milestone Event(s) shall be due and payable.

(d)

In the event that [***] two or more Milestone Events are merged or combined with any other Milestone Event, for example [***]. For example, [***], the Milestone Event in Clause 13.4.1(c) would be deemed achieved and the relevant Milestone Event Payment become due.

(e)

Where the Selected Candidate fails in any Clinical Trial or is replaced for any other reason and is replaced by a Replacement Back-up Compound, Development Milestones already paid in relation to the replaced Selected Candidate shall not be due and payable in relation to the Replacement Back-up Compound. Development Milestones shall be due for the Replacement Back-up Compound where it reaches any Milestone Event in relation to which a Development Milestone was not payable for the replaced Selected Candidate.

13.4.3

Notice of Achievement; Timing of Payment. With respect to each Milestone Event, Lilly shall inform Immunocore within [***] of the achievement of such Milestone Event (whether such Milestone Event is achieved by Lilly or its Sublicensees). Immunocore

shall issue an invoice for payment in relation to the Milestone Event and Lilly shall pay such invoice within [***] of receipt of the relevant invoice.

13.4.4

Co-Development Clarification. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Immunocore has exercised the Immunocore Co-Development Option with respect to a given Selected Target (and related Research Plan Compounds) and Immunocore (i) has not exercised an Opt-Out Right with respect thereto, Immunocore shall receive no Development Milestone-related payments under this Clause 13.4 with respect to Products directed to such Selected Target, or (ii) then exercises any Opt-Out Right with respect thereto, Immunocore shall receive no Development Milestone-related payments under this Clause 13.4 with respect to Development Milestones with respect to Products directed to such Selected Target achieved prior to exercising such Opt-Out Right. For clarity, in the event of the preceding sub-Clause (ii), Immunocore may receive Development Milestone-related payments in connection with Development Milestones with respect to Products directed to such Selected Target achieved following the date of the exercise of the Opt-Out Right with respect thereto.

13.5	Commercial Milestone Payments.

13.5.1

Commercial Milestone Events. Commercial Milestone Payments will only be payable by Lilly in connection with Products directed to a Selected Target with respect to which Immunocore has not exercised the Immunocore Co-Development Option or where Immunocore (having exercised the Immunocore Co-Development Option) then exercises any of its Opt-Out Rights. In such circumstances, Lilly will pay Immunocore the following one-time payments, on a Product-by-Product basis, upon such Product achieving the following Commercial Milestone Events, the level of payment being based on the point at which Immunocore ceases to share the responsibility for the development of such Product:

Commercial Milestone Events	Co-Develop. Option Not Exercised	Exercised Phase I Opt- Out Right at 25%	Exercised Phase I Opt- Out Right at 50%	Exercised Phase II Opt-Out Right at 25%	Exercised Phase II Opt-Out Right at 50%

[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]

[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]

13.5.2

Commercial Milestone for Diagnostic Products. Where any Product is sold for diagnostic purposes only (whether by Lilly or any of its Sublicensees) (“Diagnostic

Product”), a single payment shall be made by Lilly of [***] upon First Commercial Sale of such Diagnostic Product. Lilly shall notify Immunocore within [***] of First Commercial Sale of any Diagnostic Product. For clarity, this is a one-time milestone payment for first commercial sale in the world, not payments for First Commercial Sale in each country. Payment of the [***] shall be due within [***] of receipt of invoice from Immunocore. No Milestone Event Payments, Commercialization Milestone Payments or Royalties shall be due and payable in relation to such Diagnostic Product.

13.5.3

Notice of Achievement; Payment. With respect to each Commercial Milestone Event listed in Clause 13.5.1 above, Lilly shall promptly (and in any event within [***] of the end of the calendar quarter during which such Net Sales Event occurs) inform Immunocore following the achievement of such event by either Lilly or its Sublicensees. On or after Immunocore’s receipt of such notice of achievement, Immunocore shall submit a written invoice to Lilly for the corresponding Commercial Milestone Payment. Each such invoice shall specify the applicable Commercial Milestone Event, and shall be payable within [***] of receipt of an invoice from Immunocore with respect thereto.

13.5.4

Co-Commercialization Clarification. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Immunocore has exercised the Immunocore Co-Development Option with respect to a given Selected Target (and related Research Plan Compounds) and Immunocore has not exercised an Opt-Out Right with respect thereto, Immunocore shall receive no Commercial Milestone Payments under this Clause 13.5 with respect to Products directed to such Selected Target.

13.6	Royalty Payments for Products.

13.6.1

Valid Claim Products. Lilly shall pay Immunocore, on a Product by Product basis, and subject to the terms of Clauses 13.6.2 and 13.6.3, the following royalties on annual worldwide Net Sales of such Product by Lilly or its Sublicensees.

Annual Aggregate Net Sales Level of each Product	Co-Develop. Option Not Exercised	Exercised Phase I Opt- Out Right at 25%	Exercised Phase I Opt-Out Right at 50%	Exercised Phase II Opt-Out Right at 25%	Exercised Phase II Opt-Out Right at 50%

[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]

[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]	[***]

(a)

Royalties shall be payable on Net Sales of each Product in each country, for the period set forth in Clause 13.6.3, where such Product either (i) is Covered by a Valid Claim and such Valid Claim Covers the composition of matter of the relevant Product itself, or approved use(s) for such Product, so long as there are no other approved uses of such Product that are not Covered by such Valid

Claim; or (ii) in the absence of any Valid Claim as provided in (a)(i) above, manufacture of such Product requires the use of any Confidential Information Controlled by Immunocore or where the manufacture of such Product is Covered by a Valid Claim other than a Valid Claim provided in (a)(i) above or such Product benefits from a period of market exclusivity granted in accordance with Applicable Laws, including Orphan Drug Designation, and in each case for the duration of any granted exclusivity period and in which case the amounts payable shall be reduced and paid at [***] of the level stated in the table above.

(b)

For the purposes of Clauses 13.6.1 and 13.6.3(a), a Valid Claim will not include the claims of any patent application which has been pending for a period of more than [***] from its first priority date in front of the relevant patent office or administrative body. On expiry of such [***] period royalties under Clause 13.6.1(a)(i) shall be suspended and royalties shall instead be payable in accordance with Clause 13.6.1(a)(ii) until the claims of such patent application issue in which case the provisions of Clause 13.6.1(a)(i) shall again apply to such Valid Claim to the extent the Royalty term with respect to such Product has not expired in accordance with Clause 13.6.3.

(c)

For the avoidance of doubt, Immunocore shall receive no Royalties under this Clause 13.6.1 with respect to Net Sales of Joint Selected Candidates (and Products containing any such Joint Selected Candidates), but rather shall receive, or pay, its share of profits and losses in accordance with the Co-Commercialization Agreement.

13.6.2

Payment Offsets.

(a)

Third Party Payments.

(i)

General Third Party License. Subject to Clause 13.6.2(a)(ii), if, after the Effective Date, Lilly or its Sublicensee obtains a right or license under any intellectual property of a Third Party, where the making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing of a Product by Lilly or the relevant Sublicensee is in the absence of such right or license [***] infringe the intellectual property of a Third Party [***], then Lilly may offset the payments due and payable to Immunocore with respect to such Product by the amount of payments paid by Lilly or its Sublicensee to such Third Party for such right or license; provided that in no event shall such reductions reduce the payments owed to Immunocore for such Product by more than [***] of what would otherwise be owed by Lilly, or their Sublicensee to Immunocore.

(ii)

Third Party Partner License. If, after the Effective Date, Lilly or its Affiliate or Sublicensee obtains a right or license under a Patent controlled by a Third Party Partner, which Patent is registered in the name of Immunocore or any Immunocore Affiliate (a “Selected Patent”), where the making, using, selling, offering for sale, or

importing of a Product by Lilly or the relevant Sublicensee is in the absence of such right or license [***] infringe a Selected Patent [***], then Lilly may offset the payments due and payable to Immunocore with respect to such Product by the amount of payments paid by Lilly or its Sublicensee to such Third Party Partner for such right or license; provided that in no event shall such reductions reduce the payments owed to Immunocore for such Product by more than [***] of what would otherwise be owed by Lilly, or their Sublicensee to Immunocore.

(b)

Biosimilar. Following the first commercial sale of a Biosimilar in a country and such Biosimilar is not being commercialized by Lilly, the royalties due and payable by Lilly or its Sublicensee hereunder shall be reduced by [***] in such country. The reduction in Royalties under this Clause 13.6.2(b) shall only apply during the period of time that the Biosimilar is being sold by a Third Party (excluding any Sublicensee) in such country and shall not apply where [***]. As used herein, “Biosimilar” means any drug or biological product that is subject to review under an abbreviated approval pathway as a biosimilar, follow-on biologic or generic biological product, as those terms are commonly understood under the FD&C Act or the PHS Act and related rules and regulations, or the corresponding or similar laws, rules and regulations of any other jurisdiction and where such drug or biological product obtains Regulatory Approval based on, or in part on, reference to any data or Regulatory Approval applicable to a Product hereunder.

(c)

The cumulative reduction made under Clause 13.6.2(a) and 13.6.2(b) in a country shall not exceed a total of more than [***] of what would otherwise be owed by Lilly to Immunocore in accordance with Clause 13.6.1 in such country; provided, that [***] in the event a royalty reduction under Clause 13.6.2(a)(ii) also applies.

13.6.3

Royalty Term. The Royalty obligations set forth in Clause 13.6.1 above will commence on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis upon the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such Country, and expire on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis upon the later of (a) expiration of the last to expire Patent containing a Valid Claim (as defined in Clause 13.6.1(a)) which Covers the composition of matter of such Product itself, or approved use(s) for such Product so long as there are no other approved uses of such Product that are not Covered by such Valid Claim in such country; or (b) ten years from First Commercial Sale of such Product.

13.6.4

Rights Following Expiration of Royalty Term. Upon expiry of Lilly’s payment obligation hereunder with respect to a Product in a country, the license in Clauses 10.1 and 10.2 shall be fully paid-up, irrevocable, transferable and sublicenseable in respect of such Product in such country. With respect to the “surviving license” granted under Clause 10.1, the Parties acknowledge and agree that for purposes of such “surviving license” the license granted in Clause 10.1 shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the right to conduct research with respect to such Product instead of the right to conduct research with respect to any particular plan under this Agreement.

13.7	Costs of Research Plan. Each Party shall be responsible for their own costs and expenses incurred in performance of any Research Plan.

13.8	Reimbursement of Costs Under any Co-Development Plan.

Where Development Costs of personnel are included, timesheets will be made available to support such costs where reasonably requested by the other Party. Each Party shall provide reasonable evidence supporting any claimed costs on reasonable request from the other Party.

13.8.4

Subject to Clause 7.4 and Article 8, Immunocore shall be obliged to pay either twenty five percent (25%) or fifty percent (50%) of such Development Costs depending on the level at which it exercised the Immunocore Co-Development Option. Payment shall also be subject to the provisions of Clause 7.4 in relation to changes to a given Co-Development Plan.

13.8.5

To the extent money is owed to Xxxxx, Xxxxx shall invoice Immunocore for such sums and Immunocore shall pay such invoice within [***] of receipt of invoice. Where Immunocore is owed reimbursement of Development Costs, Immunocore shall invoice Lilly for such sums and Lilly shall pay such invoice within [***] of receipt of invoice. Where any part of Development Costs is disputed, reimbursement of the non-disputed part of such Development Costs shall occur in accordance with this Clause 13.8.5 and the Parties shall resolve the dispute as expeditiously as possible in accordance with Clause 13.8.7.

13.8.6

In calculating any Development Costs the following principles will apply:

[***];

(e)

Any Development Costs will be provided for at the rate actually incurred or otherwise accounted for in the accounts of either Party as relevant;

(g)

Where any Development Costs relate to both the Co-Development Plan and any other work effort or research program applicable to either Party (including in relation to any capital expenditure or equipment acquired for the performance of any Co-Development Plan), the Development Costs shall be pro-rated on a reasonable basis and depending on the relative usage for each relevant program; and

(h)

Any Development Costs shall be incurred in accordance with standard practice of the Parties (including any expense or travel policy) and shall be treated or accounted for in the same way as other similar costs of a Party all in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards.

13.8.7

Audit Right. Where either Party disputes that any costs are not necessarily incurred in the performance of any Co-Development Plan the dispute shall first be referred to senior managers in accordance with Clause 21.1.

The CPA Firm shall only state factual findings in the audit reports. The draft audit report shall be shared with Lilly at the same time that it is shared with Immunocore. Following review and approval by all Parties of the draft audit, the final audit report shall be shared with Lilly and Immunocore. Lilly shall procure access to Sublicensee records relevant to verify the accuracy of reports under Clause 14.2 relating to such Sublicensee and in accordance with this Clause 14.7.2 and shall make such Sublicensee records reasonably available to the CPA Firm.

14.7.3

Confidentiality. Prior to any audit under Clause 14.7.2, the CPA Firm shall enter into a written confidentiality agreement with Lilly that (i) limits the CPA Firm’s use of Lilly and its Sublicensees’ records to the verification purpose described in Clause 14.7.2; (ii) limits the information that the CPA Firm may disclose to the Immunocore to the numerical summary of payments due and paid; and (iii) prohibits the disclosure of any information contained in such records to any Third Party for any purpose (except as required by Applicable Law). The Parties agree that all information subject to review under Clause 14.7.2 and/or provided by the CPA Firm to Immunocore is Lilly’s Confidential Information, and Immunocore shall not use any such information for any purpose that is not germane to Clause 14.7.2.

14.7.4

Underpayment; Overpayment. After reviewing the CPA Firm’s audit report, Lilly shall promptly pay any uncontested, understated amounts due to Immunocore. Any overpayment made by Lilly or any Sublicensee shall be promptly refunded or fully creditable against amounts payable in subsequent payment periods, at Immunocore’s election. Any audit under Clause 14.7.2 shall be at Immunocore’s expense; provided, however, Lilly shall reimburse reasonable out-of-pocket audit fees for a given audit if the results of such audit reveal that Lilly and any Sublicensee underpaid Immunocore with respect to royalty payments by [***], or more, for the audited period.

15.3.1

Notice. Each Party shall promptly notify, in writing, the other Party upon learning of any actual or suspected infringement of the Patents within the Background IP or Foreground IP to the extent such actual or suspected infringement is relevant to any Selected Target, Research Plan Compound or a Product, or, of any claim of invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of any Patents within the Background IP (to the extent relevant to any Selected Target or Product), Foreground IP or Joint IP (each an “Infringement”). At the request of the Party receiving such notice, the other Party shall provide all evidence in its possession pertaining to the actual or suspected Infringement.

15.3.2

Enforcement Actions. The Parties shall consult as to potential strategies to terminate suspected or potential Infringement; provided, that:

(c)

the non-controlling Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Party controlling any such action to xxxxx or enforce (as may be reasonably requested by the controlling Party and at the controlling Party’s expense), including, if

necessary, by being joined as a party provided that the non-controlling Party shall be indemnified by the controlling Party as to any costs or expenses, and shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel at its own expense. The Party controlling any such action shall keep the other Party updated with respect to any such action, including providing copies of all documents received or filed in connection with any such action.

15.3.3

Settlement. The Party controlling any such enforcement action described in Clause 15.3.2 (a “Clause 15.3.2 Enforcement”), at its sole discretion, may take reasonable actions to terminate any alleged Infringement without litigation; provided, that if any such arrangement would adversely affect the non-controlling Party’s rights under this Agreement, then that arrangement is subject to the non-controlling Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

15.3.4

Costs and expenses. The Party controlling any Clause 15.3.2 Enforcement shall bear all costs and expenses, including litigation expenses, related to such enforcement actions, except to the extent agreed otherwise in the Co-Commercialization Agreement.

15.3.5

Damages.

(a)

first, [***]; and

(b)

second, the controlling Party will retain the remainder.

Any receipts by Lilly under Clause 15.3.5(b) shall constitute Net Sales and be subject to payment of royalties under Clause 13.6 (or appropriate treatment under the Co-Commercialization Agreement, as applicable).

For the avoidance of doubt and in the absence of any relevant Co-Commercialization Agreement or Co-Development Plan, if any settlement results in the granting to the alleged infringer of a sublicense of any of the Licensed Intellectual Property with running royalties payable on post-settlement sales by the alleged infringer, such alleged infringer shall be deemed to be a Sublicensee and such royalties on post-settlement sales (i) shall be subject to all applicable royalty obligations hereunder [***] and (ii) shall not be subject to this Clause 15.3.5).

15.4	Third Party Infringement Claims.

15.4.1

Notice. In the event that a Third Party shall make any claim, give notice, or bring any suit or other inter parties proceeding against Lilly or Immunocore, or any of their respective Affiliates or licensees (exclusive of Third Party Partners) or customers, for infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights with respect to the research, development, making, using, selling, offering for sale, import or export of any

Research Plan Compound or Product or with respect to any Selected Target (“Third Party Infringement Claim”), in each case, the Party receiving notice of a Third Party Infringement Claim shall promptly notify the other Party and provide all evidence in its possession pertaining to the claim or suit.

15.4.2

Defense. The Parties shall consult as to potential strategies to defend against any Third Party Infringement Claim, consistent with the overall goals of this Agreement, including by being joined as a party. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in the defense of any Third Party Infringement Claim or raising of any counterclaim related thereto. Subject to the respective indemnity obligations of the Parties set forth in Article 19, Lilly shall be solely responsible for defending such Third Party Infringement Claim including selection of counsel, venue, and directing all aspects, stages, motions, and proceedings of litigation. If Lilly does not, within [***] of receipt of a notice under Clause 15.4.1, take steps to defend the Third Party Infringement Claim, then to the extent that such Third Party Infringement Claim is brought against Immunocore, Immunocore shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take action to enforce or defend against such Third Party Infringement Claim provided that if Lilly is diligently pursuing ongoing settlement discussions at the end of such [***] period then Immunocore shall not be permitted to exercise such right unless such settlement discussions cease without reaching settlement or Lilly ceases to pursue such discussions diligently. At the controlling Party’s request and expense, the non-controlling Party shall cooperate with the controlling Party in connection with any such defense and counterclaim, provided that the non-controlling Party shall be reimbursed by the controlling Party as to any reasonable and documented costs or expenses, and shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel at its own expense. Any counterclaim or other similar action by a Party, to the extent such action involves any enforcement of rights under the Licensed Intellectual Property, Foreground IP or Joint IP, will be treated as an enforcement action subject to Clause 15.3. Nothing in this Clause 15.4 shall prevent Immunocore from complying with the terms of any court order relating to or arising out of any Third Party Infringement Claim.

15.4.3

Settlement. If any such defense under Clause 15.4.2 would adversely affect the other Party’s rights under this Agreement or impose a financial obligation upon the other Party or grant rights in respect, or affect the validity or enforceability, of the other Party’s Patents or any Joint IP, then any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of such Third Party Infringement Claim shall not be entered into without the consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

15.4.4

Costs and Expenses. The Party controlling the defense of any Third Party Infringement Claim shall bear all costs and expenses, including litigation expenses, to defend against any Third Party Infringement Claim; provided, that, [***]. For clarity such obligation shall not include any expenses incurred in the bringing of any counterclaim.

Indemnification. Subject to Clause 19.3, Lilly shall indemnify, defend and hold Immunocore, and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, and employees and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing harmless from and against any and all Losses arising, directly or indirectly out of or in connection with any Third Party Claims relating to (a) the activities performed by or on behalf of Lilly or any Sublicensee under this Agreement, (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of Lilly, its Sublicensees or any sub-contractor of Lilly (including its Affiliates); and (c) any breach of Applicable Laws by Lilly, its Affiliates, Sublicensees or sub-contractors except, in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Immunocore or its Affiliates or breach of this Agreement by Immunocore or its Affiliates.

Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated as provided in this Article 20, shall continue in full force and effect, on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis until there is no remaining royalty payment obligation in such country with respect to such Product, at which time this Agreement shall expire with respect to such Product in such country (except for such provisions of this Agreement as continue beyond its natural expiration). The Term shall expire on the date this Agreement has expired in its entirety with respect to all Products in all countries in the world. For clarity, in accordance with Clause 13.6.4, upon expiration of this Agreement with respect to a given Product and country Lilly’s licenses under Clauses 10.1 (subject to the license granted in Clause 10.1 being converted to research with respect to such Product instead of any particular plan under this Agreement), 10.2.2 and 10.2.4 shall become fully paid-up, irrevocable, transferable and sublicenseable with respect to such Product in such country in accordance with Clause 13.6.4.

20.2

Termination by Either Party for Material Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement (i) in its entirety, (ii) with respect to any Exclusive License, (iii) with respect to a given Selected Target (and Compounds directed to such Selected Target), or (iv) on a country-by-country basis by written notice to the other Party for any material breach of this Agreement by the other Party if, in the case of remediable breach, such material breach is not cured within [***] for payment defaults) after the breaching Party receives written notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party; provided, that if such breach is not capable of being cured within such [***] (or [***]) period, the cure period shall be extended for such amount of time that the Parties may agree in writing is reasonably necessary to cure such breach, so long as (1) the breaching Party is making Commercially Reasonable Efforts to do so, and (2) the Parties agree on an extension within such [***] (or [***]) period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the allegedly breaching Party in good faith either disputes (i) whether a breach is material or has occurred or (ii) the alleged

failure to cure or remedy such material breach, and provides written notice of that dispute to the other Party within the above time periods, then the matter will be addressed under the dispute resolution provisions in Article 21, and the notifying Party may not so terminate this Agreement until it has been determined under Article 21 that the allegedly breaching Party is in material breach of this Agreement, and such breaching Party further fails to cure such breach within [***] (or such longer period as determined by the arbiter of such dispute resolution) after the conclusion of that dispute resolution procedure.

20.3

Termination by Either Party for Insolvency or Bankruptcy. Either Party may terminate this Agreement effective on written notice to the other Party upon the liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, insolvency, bankruptcy, or filing of any petition therefor, appointment of a receiver, custodian or trustee, or any other similar proceeding, by or of the other Party where such petition, appointment or similar proceeding is not dismissed or vacated within [***].

24.12

Interpretation. The captions and headings to this Agreement are for convenience only, and are to be of no force or effect in construing or interpreting any of the provisions of this Agreement. Unless context otherwise clearly requires, whenever used in this Agreement: (a) the words “include” or “including” shall be construed as incorporating “but not limited to” or “without limitation”; (b) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this Agreement, including the Exhibits; (c) the word “law” or “laws” means any applicable, legally binding statute, ordinance, resolution, regulation, code, guideline, rule, order, decree, judgment, injunction, mandate or other legally binding requirement of a governmental authority (including a court, tribunal, agency, legislative body or other instrumentality of any (i) government or country or territory, (ii) any state, province, county, city or other political subdivision thereof, or (iii) any supranational body); (d) all references to the word “will” are interchangeable with the word “shall” and shall be understood to be imperative or mandatory in nature; (f) the singular shall include the plural and vice versa; and (g) the word “or” has the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”.

24.13

Other Activities. The Parties acknowledge that each of them may now or in the future engage in research, manufacturing, development or commercialization activities that utilize technologies similar to or involve products competitive with those contemplated by this Agreement. Except as may be expressly provided in Clause 10.2.3 with respect to Immunocore, nothing in this Agreement, including any obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promote Products or any restriction on the use of Confidential Information, shall create any obligation not to research, manufacture, develop or commercialize any product or any obligation to utilize a separate sales force for Products.

Each Party agrees to inform its key personnel assigned to perform activities hereunder of the limitations on use of Confidential Information contained in this Agreement, instruct such personnel to comply with such restrictions, and where appropriate, impose firewalls or other appropriate measures to minimize the potential for misuse of information. However, each Party has limited resources, and as a result it is anticipated that personnel assigned to activities hereunder may also participate in other activities that may utilize technologies similar to or involve products competitive with those contemplated by this Agreement. In particular, it is anticipated that personnel in sales, marketing, clinical and regulatory functions, regardless of level, will participate in multiple programs and that management personnel will by nature of their leadership positions participate in multiple programs.

LILLY AND IMMUNOCORE ENTER IMMUNOTHERAPY AGREEMENT TO CO-DISCOVER AND
CO-DEVELOP NOVEL CANCER THERAPIES

(Oxford, UK and Indianapolis, USA) Xxx Xxxxx and Company (NYSE: LLY) and Immunocore Limited today announced they have entered into a co-discovery and co-development collaboration to research and potentially develop novel T cell-based cancer therapies.

Using Immunocore’s Immune Mobilising Monoclonal T-Cell Receptor Against Cancer (ImmTAC) technology, the companies will seek to use the power of the body’s own immune system to attack cancer cells. ImmTACs have shown potential to direct a patient’s T cells to specifically target the cancerous cells, avoiding damage to healthy cells.

Under the terms of the agreement, Immunocore will receive an upfront fee of $15 million per program for the discovery of novel ImmTACs against jointly-selected cancer targets in order to generate preclinical candidate packages. If Lilly accepts a preclinical candidate package to develop and potentially commercialize, Immunocore will receive an opt-in fee of $10 million and will have an option to continue co-development with Lilly on a cost-sharing and profit-sharing basis. If Immunocore does not exercise its option, it will be entitled to potential future significant milestone and royalty payments.

“We are very pleased to have entered into this strategic partnership with Lilly, and look forward to working together in an integrated fashion,” said Eva-Lotta Xxxxx, Chief Business Officer, Immunocore. She added: “Lilly is a leading oncology player and we are delighted to advance novel T cell-based therapies into the clinic in collaboration with them.”

“The major goal and challenge of cancer immunotherapy is to direct the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer. We believe Immunocore’s ImmTAC platform has the potential to do just that,” said Xxx Xxxxxxxx, Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Science and Technology and President, Lilly Research Laboratories. “We are delighted to be working closely with Immunocore to develop potential novel therapies for cancer patients.”

Notes for Editors

About ImmTACs

Immunocore’s ImmTAC (Immune mobilising mTCR Against Cancer) technology is designed to enable the immune system to recognise and kill cancer or viral cells.

T Cell Receptors naturally recognise diseased cells and Immunocore’s competitive advantage is its ability to engineer high affinity T Cell Receptors and link them to an antibody fragment which can activate the immune system to kill the targeted cancer or viral cells. These bi-specific proteins, called ImmTACS, have the potential to be potent anti-cancer or anti-viral agents. The most advanced ImmTAC is in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of late stage melanoma.

About Immunocore

Founded in 2008, Immunocore Ltd is a privately owned, clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a highly innovative platform technology that generates novel drugs called ImmTACs for the treatment of cancer and viral infection. Immunocore traces its roots to Avidex Ltd, founded in 1999 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford to develop novel T Cell Receptor technology invented by the founder and chief scientist, Dr Bent Jakobsen.

Immunocore has major discovery collaborations ongoing with leading pharmaceutical companies. The company was listed in the top 15 private biotech firms globally for 2013 by Fierce Biotech and named Best Biotech Dealmaker of 2013 at the OBN Awards. Immunocore has over 120 staff and is located in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK. For more information, please visit xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx. Images are available on request from Immunocore.
