Royalties.
(a)
Subject to the adjustments provided for in Section 8.5, Micromet will pay
to MedImmune a royalty equal to [***] of Net Sales of Licensed Product in North
America. For the avoidance of doubt, a sale that occurs outside of
North America for Licensed Product that is shipped for use in North America is

(b)
In the event that a Licensed Product is sold in combination with a
therapeutically active component that is not a Licensed Product (“Combination Product”), then
net sales (calculated as Net Sales) of such Combination Product upon which a
royalty is paid will be subject to the following adjustment. If the
Licensed Product and the other therapeutically active component of the
Combination Product are sold separately in a country, then net sales of such
Combination Product in such country upon which a royalty is paid will be
multiplied by the fraction A/A+B, where A equals the average sales price of such
Licensed Product sold separately in such country, and B equals the average sales
price of the other therapeutically active component sold separately in such
country. Otherwise, the Parties will enter into good faith
negotiations and attempt to reach mutual agreement to determine an appropriate
adjustment to the net sales of such Combination Product in a country to reflect
the relative contributions of the Licensed Product and the other therapeutically
active component to the value of the Combination Product in such
country. If such mutual agreement is not reached within [***] after
commencement of such negotiations, then the determination will be submitted to
binding arbitration under Section 17.4(c).
(c)
Only one royalty will be due and payable for the manufacture, use and
sale of Licensed Product irrespective of the number of Valid Claims within
Technology Patents that cover the manufacture, use and sale of Licensed
Product. Upon payment of a royalty under this Agreement with respect
to a unit of Licensed Product, no further royalty will be due with respect to
such unit of Licensed Product.

only if Micromet demonstrates for such calendar year in such country that the
Third Party revenues from sales of Licensed Product exceeds [***] of the

or portions thereof due hereunder which are not paid on the date such payments
are due under this Agreement will bear interest at the lower of (i) [***] over
the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on the due date, or (ii) the maximum rate
permitted by law, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent,
compounded monthly.
9.2
Payment Schedules;
Reports. Royalty payments due pursuant to Section 8.3 are due and payable
within [***] of the end of each calendar quarter during the Royalty Term during
which there were Net Sales of the applicable product in North
America. Micromet will accompany each payment of royalties under this
Agreement with a report containing a detailed account of Net Sales of each
product for which royalties are due during the preceding calendar
quarter.

(a)
Micromet will maintain complete and accurate books, records and accounts

quarter ending not more than [***] prior to the date of such request; provided, however, that
MedImmune will not have the right to conduct more than one such audit in any
[***] period. The accounting firm will disclose to the Parties only
whether the Net Sales reported by the audited Party are correct or incorrect and

Breach by Micromet.
(a)
In the event that Micromet materially breaches a payment obligation under
this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy (but subject to Section 12.4),
including the right to bring an action to collect such payment, by [***] prior
written notice to Micromet, MedImmune will have the right to terminate
performance of its obligations under one or more of Sections 3, 4 or
5, and if the payment breach is under Section 8.1 or 8.2, MedImmune will also
have the right to send written notice to Micromet that the provisions of Section
12.2(c) will come into effect unless such payment breach under Section 8.1 or
8.2 is cured within [***]. If such payment breach is not cured within
the [***] period, the termination of performance pursuant to notice and/or the
provisions of Section 12.2(c), as the case may be, will automatically become
effective. In the event that Micromet disputes a payment obligation
for which MedImmune provides notice under this Section and Micromet notifies
MedImmune of such dispute and makes the payment under protest within the
applicable [***] period, then (i) termination of performance pursuant to such
notice and/or the provisions of Section 12.2(c) will not become effective, and
(ii) notwithstanding such payment, Micromet will have the right to arbitrate
under Section 17.4 whether or not Micromet is obligated to make such payment and
to the extent Micromet prevails in such arbitration, MedImmune will return such
disputed payments to Micromet with interest calculated in accordance with
Section 9.1.
(b)
In the event that Micromet breaches Micromet’s obligations under Sections
5.2 or 5.4 of this Agreement or Micromet’s obligations with respect to Media
Materials, MedImmune will have the right to send written notice to Micromet of
such breach. In the event that such breach is not cured within [***]
or is not capable of cure, MedImmune will have the right to terminate
MedImmune’s obligations under Section 5.2 by written notice to Micromet and
Micromet will terminate all supply agreements for Media Materials. In the event
that Micromet disputes MedImmune’s claim that Micromet has breached its
obligations under Sections 5.2 or 5.4, Micromet will have the right to arbitrate
under Section 17.4 whether or not Micromet has breached such obligations, and
MedImmune will not have the right to terminate MedImmune’s obligations under
Section 5.2 until such breach has been found to exist in the final judgment made
by the arbitrator(s) in such arbitration.

Breach by
MedImmune. In the event that MedImmune commits a material

in addition to any other remedy (but subject to Section 12.4), Micromet, will
have the right prior to [***] to provide MedImmune with written notice of such
breach and the details thereof, and if such breach is not cured within [***] of
such written notice, upon written notice to MedImmune, Micromet will have the
right to either:
(a)
terminate this Agreement in the entirety. In addition,
Micromet will have the right to pursue a claim for damages under Section 17.4
available to it under law, subject to the limitations of [***] but not the
limitations of [***]; or
(b)
elect to keep this Agreement in full force and effect and initiate a
proceeding under Section 17.4 to determine whether MedImmune has committed a
material breach of its obligations under one or more of Sections [***] of this
Agreement. Following a final determination under Section 17.4 that
MedImmune did commit such material breach that has not been cured, if in the
arbitration it is determined that such breach is not curable or if it is
determined in the arbitration that such breach is curable and MedImmune does not
cure such breach within [***] after such determination, then (i) the amount of
future payments due to MedImmune under Section 8.2 will be [***] and in no event
[***] and (ii) MedImmune will pay to Micromet any and all damages determined by
such arbitrator in such proceeding; provided, however, that in
any event such payment will not exceed [***]. In any determination of
whether MedImmune committed a material breach, the arbitrator also will take
into consideration the scope and extent to which MedImmune performed such
obligations under this Agreement and the extent of the benefits received by
Micromet with respect to such performance.

and defend and save each of them harmless from and against any and all losses,
damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses) in connection with any and all liability suits, investigations,
claims or demands (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or
occurring as a result of any claim or lawsuit by a Third Party against a
MedImmune Indemnitee, to the extent caused by or arising out of: (a) negligence
or willful misconduct on the part of Micromet, its Affiliates or licensees in
performing any activity contemplated by this Agreement, or (b) the development
or Commercialization of Licensed Product in the Territory by Micromet, its
Affiliates or licensees; or (c) the use by Micromet, its Affiliates or licensees

Notice of
Claim. All indemnification claims in respect of any MedImmune
Indemnitee under Section 14.1 (collectively, the “Indemnitees” and each an
“Indemnitee”) will be
made solely by MedImmune (the “Indemnified
Party”). The Indemnified Party will give Micromet (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt
written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”)
of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to
base a request for indemnification under Section 14.1, but in no event will the
Indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in
providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain
a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent
that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time). The
Indemnified Party will furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all
papers and official documents received in respect of any
Losses.

14.3 Control of
Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the
defense of any claim subject to indemnification as provided for in Section 14.1
(each, a “Third Party
Claim”) by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***]
days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim
Notice. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party
Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. In the
event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party will immediately deliver to the Indemnifying Party all
original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any
Indemnitee in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the
Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying
Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party or any other Indemnitee for
any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or other
Indemnitee in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third
Party Claim.
14.4 Right to Participate in
Defense. Without limiting Section 14.2, any Indemnitee will be
entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party
Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such
employment will be at the Indemnitee’s own expense unless (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing,
or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ
counsel in accordance with Section 14.2 (in which case the Indemnified Party
will control the defense).

14.5 Settlement. With
respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in
connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnitee’s
becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the
business of the Indemnitee in any manner other than by the payment of money
damages, and as to which the Indemnifying Party will have acknowledged in
writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder, the Indemnifying
Party will have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter
into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the
Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, will deem appropriate, and will
transfer to the Indemnified Party all amounts which said Indemnified Party will
be liable to pay prior to the entry of judgment. With respect to all
other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party
has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 14,
the Indemnifying Party will have authority to consent to the entry of any
judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss provided
it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent
will be at the Indemnified Party’s sole and absolute discretion). The
Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of
a Loss by an Indemnitee that is reached without the written consent of the
Indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party
chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnitee will admit
any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third
Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party.
14.6 Cooperation. Regardless
of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party
Claim, the Indemnified Party will, and will cause each other Indemnitee to,
cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and will furnish such records,
information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences,
discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably
requested in connection with such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation
will include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying
Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and
information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making
Indemnitees and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient
basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided
hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for
all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such
cooperation.

Miscellaneous
|
17.1 Force
Majeure. Neither Party will be held liable or responsible to
the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement
for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when
such failure or delay is caused by or results from events beyond the reasonable
control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, embargoes,
shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or
not), insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or other labor
disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any
governmental authority. The non-performing Party will notify the
other Party of such force majeure within [***] after such occurrence by giving
written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its
anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its
effect. The suspension of performance will be of no greater scope and
no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party will use
commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform; provided, however, that in
the event the suspension of performance continues for [***] after the date of
the occurrence, the Party not affected by such force majeure may terminate this
Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other Party.
17.2 Assignment. Neither
Party will sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge or otherwise dispose of,
whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this
Agreement or any of its rights or duties under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be withheld or
delayed unreasonably; provided, however, that
either Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other Party (a) to
any Affiliate of such Party, or (b) to any Third Party with which it merges or
consolidates, or to which it transfers all or substantially all of its assets to
which this Agreement relates. The assigning Party (unless it is not
the surviving entity) will remain jointly and severally liable with the relevant
Affiliate or Third Party assignee under this Agreement, and the relevant
Affiliate assignee, Third Party assignee or surviving entity will assume in
writing all of the assigning Party’s obligations under this
Agreement. Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of this
section will be void ab initio and of no force or effect.

17.3 Severability. If
any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable
under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of either
Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected
thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be
construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision
had never comprised a part of this Agreement, (c) the remaining provisions of
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by
the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this
Agreement, and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision,
there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and
enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the
Parties.
17.4 Governing
Law; Dispute Resolution.
(a) This
Agreement, and any claim, dispute, or controversy of whatever nature arising out
of or relating to this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to any
principles of choice of law that would require the application of the laws of a
different state or country.

(b) The
Parties will try to settle their differences amicably between
themselves. If any claim, dispute, or controversy of whatever nature
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the performance or
alleged non-performance of a Party of its obligations under this Agreement
arises between the Parties (each a “Dispute”), a Party may notify
the other Party in writing of such Dispute. If the Parties are unable
to resolve the Dispute within [***] of receipt of the written notice by the
other Party, such Dispute will be referred to the Chief Executive Officers of
each of the Parties who will use their good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute
within [***] after such referral.
(c) If
a Dispute is not resolved as provided in the preceding Section 17.4(b), whether
before or after termination of this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree to
resolve such Dispute by final and binding arbitration administered under the
rules of arbitration of JAMS by one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with
the said Rules, provided that upon request of either Party, three (3)
arbitrators will be appointed. If the Parties are unable to mutually
select such panel, the panel will be selected in accordance with the procedures
of JAMS. The decision and award rendered by the panel will be final
and binding. In any such arbitration, the arbitrators will not have
the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As a
result, the rights and obligations of the Parties will be determined in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any decision or
award will be only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. The Parties will exert best efforts to have the decision
and award rendered within [***] after the first to occur of (i) notice of breach
of this Agreement, which breach is a subject of the arbitration, and (ii) a
notice invoking this arbitration provision. Judgment upon the award
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any
arbitration pursuant to this section will be held in Washington, D.C. or such
other place as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the
Parties. With respect to any Disputes arising in connection with an
alleged breach of a Party’s rights and obligations with respect to confidential
Know-How or Confidential Information received from the other Party, the
arbitrator will apply the discovery provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. This means that depositions may be taken and full
discovery may be obtained in any arbitration commenced under this Section 17.4
with respect to such Disputes.

17.6 Entire Agreement;
Modifications. This Agreement (including any Exhibits,
Schedules, or other attachments hereto, each of which is hereby incorporated by
reference herein) sets forth and constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement and all prior agreements, understanding, promises and representations,
whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded by this Agreement
except to the extent expressly referenced herein, including the Collaboration
and License Agreement and the Related Agreements; provided, however, that no
agreement between the Parties executed contemporaneously with this Agreement
will be so superseded by this Agreement. Each Party confirms that it
is not relying on any representations or warranties of the other Party except as
specifically set forth in this Agreement. No amendment or
modification of this Agreement will be binding upon the Parties unless in
writing and duly executed by authorized representatives of both
Parties.
17.7 Relationship of the
Parties. It is expressly agreed that the relationship between
the Parties is and will be that of independent contractors, and that the
relationship between the Parties will not constitute a partnership, joint
venture or agency. Neither Party will have the authority to make any
statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action,
which will be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the
other to do so. All persons employed by a Party will be employees of
such Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations incurred by
reason of any such employment will be for the account and expense of such
Party.
17.8 Waiver. Any term or
condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is
entitled to the benefit of such term or condition, but no such waiver will be
effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf
of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver by either
Party of any right under this Agreement or of claims based on the failure to
perform or a breach by the other Party will not be deemed a waiver of any other
right under this Agreement or of any other breach or failure by said other Party
whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

instrument.
17.10 No Benefit to Third
Parties. The representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties
hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, and they will not be
construed as conferring any rights on any other parties.

Assurance. Each Party will duly execute and deliver, or cause
to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to
be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments,
agreements, documents and instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party
may reasonably request in connection with this Agreement or to carry out more
effectively the provisions and purposes, or to better assure and confirm unto
such other Party its rights and remedies under this Agreement.

any Party of any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, preclude any other or other
exercise thereof hereunder. The rights and remedies herein provided

MedImmune to enter into this Agreement and are necessary and required for the
protection of MedImmune; (b) such covenants and restrictions relate to
matters that are of a special, unique and extraordinary character that give each

breach of any of such covenants or restrictions may result in irreparable harm
and damages to MedImmune in an amount difficult to ascertain and which cannot be
adequately compensated by a monetary award. Accordingly, in addition
to any of the relief to which MedImmune shall be entitled under this Agreement,
at law or in equity, MedImmune shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent
injunctive relief from any breach or threatened breach of such covenants or
restrictions without proof of actual damages that have been or may be caused to

for injunctive relief is brought by MedImmune, Company waives any right to
require MedImmune to post any bond or other security with the court in

Micromet
Buys Out MedImmune’s Remaining Rights to Blinatumomab
BETHESDA, MD,
<<Date>>— Micromet, Inc. (Nasdaq: MITI), a biopharmaceutical
company developing novel, proprietary antibodies for the treatment of cancer,
inflammation and autoimmune diseases, today announced that it has signed an
agreement with MedImmune, LLC to buy out MedImmune’s rights to blinatumomab in
North America, and to terminate the collaboration agreement signed in 2003 under
which MedImmune had been granted the right to develop and commericalize
blinatumomab in North America. As a result of this transaction,
Micromet now controls global rights to develop and commercialize
blinatumomab.
In March
2009, MedImmune returned the North American rights to develop and commercialize
blinatumumab to Micromet, but retained an option to reacquire the right to
commercialize blinatumomab in North America. Under the terms of the termination
agreement, Micromet has now regained MedImmune’s remaining rights relating to
blinatumomab as well as any other BiTE antibodies binding to antigens relevant
for hematological cancers that had been reserved for MedImmune under the
terminated agreement. Micromet will make upfront, milestone, and
royalty payments to MedImmune related to the development and North American net
sales of blinatumomab.
“The
advancement of blinatumomab in the clinic is the top priority for Micromet,”
said Micromet CEO Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx. “With complete control over global development
and commercialization of blinatumomab, Micromet can develop an integrated
clinical and regulatory strategy across multiple commercial territories,
starting with the first pivotal study that we expect to initiate in
2010.”
Blinatumomab
is a novel therapeutic antibody that activates a patient's T cells to seek out
and destroy lymphoma and leukemia cells. At the recent meeting of the European
Hematological Association (EHA), Micromet announced that blinatumomab had
achieved its primary endpoint in an ongoing phase 2 clinical trial in ALL
patients. Micromet intends to initiate a pivotal trial of blinatumomab in ALL
patients next year.

release contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to be materially different from
historical results or from any future results expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements
regarding the development and commercialization of blinatumomab, including the
conduct and timing of future clinical trials involving this product candidate.
You are urged to consider statements that include the words "ongoing," "may,"
