ARTICLE 5
OPTION RIGHTS
5.1 Delivery of Data.
5.1.1 Upon receipt and review by Kolltan of a validated data set (including the full data set) from the clinical trial database for any Phase 1b/2a Clinical Trial of the Licensed Antibody or a Licensed Product, which data set comprises the clinical trial data for a cohort of not less than [**] patients (or, if less, the number of remaining enrolled patients in such Phase 1b/2a Clinical Trial), and which data Kolltan has not previously delivered to MedImmune, Kolltan shall promptly deliver such data to MedImmune.
5.1.2 Together with its delivery of any data set pursuant to Section 5.1.1, Kolltan shall (to the extent it has not already done so) deliver to MedImmune all data in Kolltan’s possession as of the date of such delivery that is contained in the clinical trial database for any Phase 1 Clinical Trial of the Licensed Antibody or a Licensed Product.
5.1.3 Together with its delivery of any data set pursuant to Section 5.1.1 and the data pursuant to Section 5.1.2, Kolltan shall (to the extent it has not already done so) deliver to MedImmune all non-clinical and/or Development data and information in Kolltan’s possession as of the date of such delivery that (a) was generated by Kolltan’s Research, Development or Manufacturing activities with respect to the Licensed Antibody or Licensed Products hereunder and (b) is likely to be useful to MedImmune’s determination to deliver a Trigger Notice pursuant to Section 5.2.1 or Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 5.3.1, including any such pharmacokinetic data, pharmacodynamics data, biomarker data and genetic or epigenetic characterization of patients.
5.1.4 After the Data Package Delivery Date, if Kolltan comes into possession of any data or information that Kolltan would have been required to deliver to MedImmune under Section 5.1.2 or 5.1.3 if such data or information had been in Kolltan’s possession as of the Data Package Delivery Date, or if MedImmune reasonably requests any other information related to the data and information described in Section 5.1.1, 5.1.2 or 5.1.3 or the foregoing clause of this Section 5.1.4, Kolltan shall promptly deliver such data or information to MedImmune.
5.2 Trigger Period; Determination of Product Acquisition Price.
5.2.1 Trigger Period.
(a) From time to time between (i) the date on which Kolltan delivers the first data summary to MedImmune pursuant to Section 5.1.1 and (ii) the earlier of (x) [**] Business Days after the Data Package Delivery Date and (y) December 31, 2017 (the “Trigger Period”), MedImmune shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to Kolltan (a “Trigger Notice”), to trigger a determination of the Product Acquisition Price in accordance with Section 5.2.2. For clarity, MedImmune shall have the right to deliver multiple Trigger Notices during the Trigger Period; provided, however, that subject to Section 5.3.2, after MedImmune has delivered any Trigger Notice, it shall not deliver a subsequent Trigger Notice unless and until MedImmune revokes such earlier Trigger Notice in writing (provided, however, that MedImmune shall not be entitled to revoke any Trigger Notice after the Parties have received notice of the applicable Product FMV pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a)) or the Option Period with respect to such earlier Trigger Notice expires without MedImmune’s having delivered an Exercise Notice.
(b) If (i) MedImmune does not deliver a Trigger Notice to Kolltan prior to the expiration of the Trigger Period, (ii) as of the expiration of the Trigger Period, the Option Period with respect to any Trigger Notices previously delivered by MedImmune has expired without MedImmune’s having delivered an Exercise Notice, or (iii) any Option Period that has not expired as of the expiration of the Trigger Period expires without MedImmune’s having delivered an Exercise Notice, then the provisions of Sections 5.3 and 5.4 shall be of no further force or effect. If MedImmune provides written notice to Kolltan during the Trigger Period that MedImmune declines to deliver any further Trigger Notices, then the provisions of Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 shall be of no further force or effect.
5.2.2 Determination of Product Acquisition Price.
(a) In the event MedImmune delivers a Trigger Notice to Kolltan prior to the expiration of the Trigger Period, the Parties shall obtain a determination of the Product FMV as of the date on which such Trigger Notice was delivered, in accordance with this Section 5.2.2(a). Within [**] Business Days after MedImmune’s delivery of any Trigger Notice (the “Selection Period”), each Party shall select an independent expert suitably qualified to determine the applicable Product FMV, who, at a minimum, shall have expertise in the valuation of development-stage biological oncology products (each, an “Expert”), and the two Experts thereby selected shall, as promptly as practicable, select a third Expert (such three Experts, collectively, the “Panel”). As soon as practicable after the selection of the Panel, the Parties shall meet with the Panel in order to agree upon a process for delivering to the Panel such
information in the Parties’ possession as the Panel may request in connection with the determination of the applicable Product FMV, which delivery shall be completed no later than [**] Business Days after such initial meeting with the Panel (the “Information Delivery Period”). The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Panel to determine the applicable Product FMV and provide written notice to the Parties thereof within [**] Business Days after expiration of the Information Delivery Period (or, if the Panel is unable to comply with such timing, as promptly thereafter as practicable). The Panel’s determination of applicable Product FMV shall be based on the agreement of a majority of the Panel members. Subject to Section 5.3.2, the determination of the Panel shall be binding on the Parties. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to the determination of the applicable Product FMV. Subject to Section 5.3.2, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Panel shall be borne by MedImmune.
(b) Within [**] Business Days after the Parties receive notice of the applicable Product FMV pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a), Kolltan shall provide written notice to MedImmune of (i) Kolltan’s good faith estimate of the Kolltan Development Costs as of the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the date of the applicable Trigger Notice, (ii) Kolltan’s good faith estimate of the Kolltan Development Costs for the [**] month period immediately following the period covered by estimate described in clause (i) above, and (iii) the Product Acquisition Price, on the assumption that the Kolltan Development Costs as of the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which the applicable payment is made in accordance with this Agreement will be equal to the sum of the estimates described in clauses (i) and (ii) above (the “Product Acquisition Price Notice”), and shall include reasonable supporting documentation.
5.3 Option Period; New Determination of Product Acquisition Price.
5.3.1 Option Period.
(a) If, within [**] Business Days after delivery of any Product Acquisition Price Notice, MedImmune reasonably requests any additional supporting documentation relating to Kolltan’s estimates of the Kolltan Development Costs included therein, Kolltan shall provide such additional supporting documentation to MedImmune within [**] Business Days after the date of such request. For a period of [**] Business Days after the expiration of the [**] Business Day period described in the preceding sentence (or, if applicable, the date on which Kolltan satisfies its obligation under the preceding sentence to provide additional supporting documentation), (i) the Parties shall engage in informal, nonbinding discussions regarding their respective interests with respect to their rights and obligations under this Section 5.3 and Section 5.4 with respect to such Product Acquisition Price Notice and (ii) within [**] Business Days after the conclusion of such [**] Business Day period (each, an “Option Period”), MedImmune shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Kolltan (each, an “Exercise Notice”), to trigger the rights and obligations of the Parties under Section 5.4 with respect to such Product Acquisition Price Notice.
(b) If MedImmune does not deliver an Exercise Notice to Kolltan prior to the expiration of an Option Period, then the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under Section 5.4 with respect to the applicable Product Acquisition Price Notice. If MedImmune provides written notice to Kolltan during an Option Period that MedImmune
declines to provide an Exercise Notice during such Option Period, then such Option Period shall be deemed expired and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under Section 5.4 with respect to the applicable Product Acquisition Price Notice.
5.3.2 New Determination of Product Acquisition Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.2, if at any time after the delivery by the Parties of information to the Panel pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a) and prior to the expiration of the applicable Option Period or, if MedImmune delivers an Exercise Notice to Kolltan prior to the expiration of the applicable Option Period, during any period for any election or rejection by a Party under Section 5.4.1 or 5.4.2, Kolltan receives additional data from (i) any Phase 1 Clinical Trial of the Licensed Antibody or any Licensed Product, (ii) any Phase 1b/2a Clinical Trial of the Licensed Antibody or a Licensed Product or (iii) any non-clinical studies or Development activities with respect to the Licensed Antibody or Licensed Products that would, in the case of any of (i), (ii) or (iii), likely have materially affected the determination of the Product FMV, (a) Kolltan shall promptly deliver such data to MedImmune (regardless of whether Kolltan would otherwise be required to deliver such data to MedImmune pursuant to Section 5.1) and (b) for a period of [**] Business Days after the date of such delivery, either Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the other Party, to trigger a new determination of the Product Acquisition Price, factoring in such new information. If either Party exercises its right under clause (b) above, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, (w) ongoing activities (if any) to determine the Product Acquisition Price shall terminate, (x) the current Option Period (if any) shall be deemed expired without MedImmune’s having delivered an Exercise Notice, (y) the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under Section 5.4 with respect to any Product Acquisition Price Notice delivered prior such Party’s exercise of its right under clause (b) above, and (z) a new determination of the Product FMV and the Product Acquisition Price shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2.2 (which shall again trigger the applicable provisions of this Section 5.3 and Section 5.4); provided, however, that the costs and expenses of the Panel for such new determination shall be borne by the Party that exercised its right under clause (b) above.
5.4 Kolltan Election; MedImmune Rights.
5.4.1 Kolltan Election. In the event MedImmune delivers an Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 5.3.1(a) with respect to any Product Acquisition Price Notice, Kolltan shall elect, in its sole discretion, by written notice to MedImmune delivered within [**]Business Days after MedImmune’s delivery of such Exercise Notice (the “Election Notice”), one of the following:

(v) effective upon the effective date of the Auction License Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Licensed Program in accordance with Section 11.5.
5.4.4 Determination of Kolltan Development Costs. The amount payable by Kolltan or MedImmune, as applicable, under Section 5.4.3 or pursuant to the Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement shall be based on Kolltan’s good faith estimate, as delivered to MedImmune together with the Election Notice or in the most recent update described in the last sentence of Section 5.4.1, of the Kolltan Development Costs as of the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which the applicable payment
would be made under the applicable scenario (the “Estimated Kolltan Development Costs”); provided, however, that within [**] days after the applicable payment is made, Kolltan shall provide written notice to MedImmune of its final determination of the Kolltan Development Costs as of the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such payment was made (the “Final Kolltan Development Costs”), together with reasonable supporting documentation. In the event there was any underpayment or overpayment by the applicable Party based on Kolltan’s final determination, an appropriate reconciling payment shall be made within [**] days after delivery of such notice. Kolltan’s determination of the Final Kolltan Development Costs shall be subject to MedImmune’s rights as an Auditing Party under Section 6.10; provided, however, that (a) MedImmune’s right to audit the Final Kolltan Development Costs pursuant to this Section 5.4.4 shall be independent of the determination of whether MedImmune has exercised its [**] right as an Auditing Party in any applicable year pursuant to Section 6.10, (b) MedImmune shall pay the full cost of such audit unless (i) the applicable payment made by Kolltan or MedImmune in accordance with Section 5.4.3 was calculated on the basis of the Kolltan Development Costs and (ii) such audit shows that the Final Kolltan Development Costs exceeded [**] percent ([**]%) of the Kolltan Development Costs as of the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such payment was made, as determined by the auditors (the “Actual Kolltan Development Costs”), in which case Kolltan shall pay the full cost of such audit, and (c) if (i) the applicable payment made by Kolltan or MedImmune in accordance with Section 5.4.3 was calculated on the basis of the Kolltan Development Costs and (ii) such audit shows that the Actual Kolltan Development Costs exceeded [**] percent ([**]%) of the Estimated Kolltan Development Costs, then Kolltan shall be solely responsible for such excess costs; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (c), Actual Kolltan Development Costs excludes any Kolltan Development Costs incurred in any calendar month after the calendar month that Kolltan projected (for purposes of the Estimated Kolltan Development Costs calculation) to be the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which the applicable payment would be made under the applicable scenario under Section 5.4.3 or pursuant to the Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement, to the extent such payment was actually made in a later calendar month due to (x) the actual time required for the negotiation of the Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement or (y) any delay caused by MedImmune.
5.5 Restriction. Prior to and during the Trigger Period and any Option Period, Kolltan shall not initiate discussions with any Third Party regarding, or consummate, any Third Party Transaction. “Third Party Transaction” means any acquisition by a Third Party of, or the grant of any license or sublicense to a Third Party under, Kolltan’s rights to Research, Develop, Manufacture, or Commercialize the Licensed Antibody or Licensed Products; provided, however, that any transaction that does not conflict with MedImmune’s rights under Section 5.4, including any Kolltan Sale or Financing or any assignment or deemed assignment of this Agreement by Kolltan in connection with a Kolltan Sale or Financing, shall not be deemed a Third Party Transaction.

6.4.2 MRC Agreement. In addition to the royalties described in Section 6.4.1, for each Licensed Product, Kolltan shall pay MedImmune a royalty equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales of such Licensed Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any sale or other transfer for consideration of any Licensed Product by Kolltan or its applicable Affiliate or Sublicensee, MedImmune or its applicable Affiliate is not required to pay royalties under the MRC Agreement, or is required to pay royalties under the MRC Agreement at a rate that is lower than [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales of such Licensed Product, then the royalty payable by Kolltan to MedImmune under this Section 6.4.2 with respect to such sale or other transfer for consideration shall be accordingly reduced. MedImmune shall promptly notify Kolltan of the occurrence of any event or circumstance that would trigger a reduced royalty payment obligation under the previous sentence.
6.4.3 Reductions.
(a) Third Party Royalty Reduction. If Kolltan or its Affiliate or Sublicensee decides in its sole discretion to acquire a license or other rights from any Third Party (other than under any In-Licensed IP) under any Patents or Know-How controlled by such Third Party in order to Research, Develop, Manufacture, or Commercialize the Licensed Antibody or Licensed Products without infringing or misappropriating such Patents or Know-How and, pursuant to the applicable agreement with such Third Party, is required to pay royalties based on sales of a Licensed Product by Kolltan or its applicable Affiliate or Sublicensee in any Calendar Quarter, then the royalties that, but for this Section 6.4.3(a) and Section 6.4.3(b), would be payable by Kolltan to MedImmune with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such Calendar Quarter shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%) of the royalties payable by Kolltan or its applicable Affiliate or Sublicensee under such Third Party agreement with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such Calendar Quarter; provided, however, that this Section 6.4.3(a) shall not operate to reduce (i) the royalties that, but for this Section 6.4.3(a) and Section 6.4.3(b), would be payable by Kolltan to MedImmune with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such Calendar Quarter by more than [**] percent ([**]%), or (ii) the royalties payable under Section 6.4.2.
(b) Know-How Only Reduction. If, for any portion of any Calendar Quarter, any Licensed Product sold by Kolltan or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in any country is not Covered by a Valid Claim of an issued MedImmune Patent in such country, then the royalties that, but for this Section 6.4.3(b) (but after giving effect to Section 6.4.3(a)), would be payable by Kolltan to MedImmune with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such country in such Calendar Quarter shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%); provided, however, that this Section 6.4.3(b) shall not operate to reduce the royalties payable under Section 6.4.2.
6.4.4 Payments under Certain In-License Agreements. Each Party shall perform its obligations under Exhibit 6.4.4.
6.4.5 Effect of Expiration of Royalty Term. On a Licensed Product by Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, upon expiration of the Royalty Term for a Licensed Product in a country, the rights, licenses and sublicenses granted to Kolltan hereunder with respect to such Licensed Product in such country shall continue in effect but become fully paid-
up, royalty-free, transferable (to the extent not transferable previously), perpetual and irrevocable.
6.4.6 Follow-On Products. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 (including Exhibit 6.4.4) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to Follow-On Products; provided, however, that except with respect to the royalties payable pursuant to Section 6.4.2 and the payments described in Exhibit 6.4.4, the amounts payable by Kolltan under this Section 6.4 with respect to Follow-On Products shall be [**] percent ([**]%) of the corresponding amounts payable by Kolltan under this Section 6.4 with respect to Licensed Products.
6.5 Healthcare Reform Tax. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of determining the sales milestones and royalties payable by Kolltan under Sections 6.2.4 and 6.4, Kolltan shall have the right to offset from Net Sales of Licensed Products sold in the United States that portion of the annual fee paid by Kolltan and its Affiliates and Sublicensees to the United States Government pursuant to Section 9008 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Pub. L. No. 111-148 (as may be amended) reasonably attributable to Licensed Products, as determined in accordance with an equitable method as agreed in good faith by the Parties. This Section 6.5 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to Follow-On Products.
6.6 Reports; Payments. Within [**] days after the end of each Calendar Quarter during which there are Net Sales giving rise to a payment obligation under Section 6.2.4 or 6.4, Kolltan shall submit to MedImmune a report identifying for each Licensed Product, the Net Sales of such Licensed Product for each country for such Calendar Quarter, the calculation of royalties (including gross sales and all deductions taken from gross sales), and the sales milestones and royalties payable to MedImmune. Together with the delivery of each such report, Kolltan shall pay to MedImmune the sales milestones and royalties payable by it under Sections 6.2.4 and 6.4. This Section 6.6 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to Follow-On Products.
6.7 Methods of Payments. All payments due under this Agreement shall be paid in Dollars by wire transfer to a bank in the United States designated in writing by MedImmune. For the purpose of calculating any amounts due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than Dollars), a Party shall convert any amount expressed in a foreign currency into Dollar equivalents using its, its Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s standard conversion methodology consistent with the Accounting Standards.
6.8 Late Payments. Any amount owed by a Party to the other Party under this Agreement that is not paid on or before the date such payment is due as set forth herein shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lower of (i) [**], or (ii) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law.
6.9 Taxes.
6.9.1 Withholding Taxes. All payments due and payable by a Party (the “Paying Party”) under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding, unless such deduction or withholding tax is required by Applicable Law. If the Paying Party is so required to deduct or withhold, the Paying Party shall (a) promptly notify the other Party (the
“Non-Paying Party”) of such requirement; (b) remit to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against the Non-Paying Party; and (c) promptly forward to the Non-Paying Party an official receipt (or certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Non-Paying Party evidencing such payment to such authorities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Non-Paying Party is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, or recovery of, the applicable deduction or withholding tax, it may deliver to the Paying Party or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of the Paying Party to the extent that this is reasonably required) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the deduction or applicable rate of withholding or to relieve the Paying Party of its obligation to deduct or withhold tax, and the Paying Party shall apply the reduced deduction or rate of withholding, or dispense with deduction or withholding, as the case may be, provided that the Paying Party has received evidence of the Non-Paying Party’s delivery of all applicable forms (and, if necessary, its receipt of appropriate governmental authorization).
6.9.2 Withholding Taxes Resulting from Withholding Tax Action. If the Paying Party (or its Affiliates or successors) is required to make a payment to the Non-Paying Party subject to a deduction or withholding of tax, then if such deduction or withholding of tax obligation arises or is increased solely as a result of the assignment or transfer of all or a portion of this Agreement by the Paying Party (or its Affiliates or successors) as a result of which payments arise or are deemed to arise in a territory other than in the United States, or there is a change in the tax residency of the Paying Party (or its Affiliates or successors), or the payments arise or are deemed to arise through a branch of the Paying Party in a territory other than the United States (a “Paying Party Withholding Tax Action”), then notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the payment by the Paying Party (in respect of which such deduction and withholding of tax is required to be made) shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that the Non-Paying Party receives an amount equal to the same amount that it would have received had no Paying Party Withholding Tax Action occurred.
6.9.3 Indirect Taxes. All payments are exclusive of Indirect Taxes. If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any payments, the Paying Party shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of such payments following receipt, where applicable, of an Indirect Taxes invoice in the appropriate form issued by the Non-Paying Party in respect of those payments. The Parties shall issue invoices for all amounts payable under this Agreement consistent with Indirect Tax requirements and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes. If such amounts of Indirect Taxes are refunded to the Non-Paying Party by the applicable tax authority or other fiscal authority subsequent to payment, the Non-Paying Party will transfer such amount to the Paying Party within [**] days of receipt. For purposes of this section, “Indirect Taxes” shall mean value added taxes, sales taxes, consumption taxes and other similar taxes.
6.10 Books and Records; Audit Rights. Each Party (the “Audited Party”) shall keep (and, in the case of Kolltan, shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep) complete, true and accurate books and records in accordance with the Accounting Standards in sufficient detail for the other Party (the “Auditing Party”) to determine the amount of any payments due to such Party under this Agreement. Each Auditing Party shall have the right, [**] at its own expense, to
have an independent, certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing, selected by the Auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the Audited Party, review any such records of the Audited Party in the location(s) where such records are maintained by the Audited Party upon reasonable notice (which shall be no less than [**] days’ prior written notice) and during regular business hours and under obligations of confidence, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the amounts paid under this Agreement within a [**] year period preceding the date of the request for review. The Audited Party shall (and, in the case of Kolltan as the Audited Party, shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to) make its (and their) personnel reasonably available to answer queries reasonably required for such report. The report of such accounting firm shall be limited to a certificate stating whether any report made or invoice or payment submitted by the Audited Party during such period is accurate or inaccurate and the amounts of any discrepancy. No other information shall be provided to the Auditing Party. The Audited Party shall receive a copy of each such report concurrently with receipt by the Auditing Party. Should such inspection lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to the Auditing Party’s detriment, the Audited Party shall pay the amount of the discrepancy within [**] days after its receipt from the accounting firm of the certificate showing the amount of the discrepancy. The Auditing Party shall pay the full cost of the review unless the underpayment is greater than [**] percent ([**]%) of the amount due for the applicable period, in which case the Audited Party shall pay the reasonable costs charged by such accounting firm for such review.

7.2 Ownership. Subject to the rights and licenses granted to Kolltan under this Agreement, as between the Parties, MedImmune shall own the entire right, title and interest in and to all inventions and discoveries (and Patents claiming patentable inventions therein) first made or discovered solely by employees or consultants of MedImmune or its Affiliates or acquired solely by MedImmune or its Affiliates in the course of Research, Development or Manufacture of the Licensed Antibody, Licensed Products, Follow-On Antibodies and Follow-On Products. Kolltan shall own the entire right, title and interest in and to all inventions and discoveries (and Patents claiming patentable inventions therein) first made or discovered solely by employees or consultants of Kolltan or its Affiliates or acquired solely by Kolltan or its Affiliates in the course of Research, Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Antibody, Licensed Products, Follow-On Antibodies and Follow-On Products. Each Party shall own an undivided, one-half interest in any Joint IP and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall retain the right to practice under such interest without the consent of or accounting to the other. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the rights of the Parties as joint owners shall be determined in accordance with the substantive Applicable Laws
of the United States, irrespective of the country in which any invention or discovery is made or discovered.
7.3 Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents.
7.3.1 Kolltan Rights.
(a) Kolltan shall have (i) the sole right, at Kolltan’s discretion and expense, to file, prosecute, and maintain (including with respect to any interference, derivation, re-issuance, re-examination, opposition or other post-grant proceedings) any Kolltan Patents throughout the world, and (ii) the first right, at Kolltan’s discretion (subject to the remainder of this Section 7.3.1), to file, prosecute, and maintain (including with respect to any interference, derivation, re-issuance, re-examination, opposition or other post-grant proceedings) (x) any MedImmune Patents throughout the world (subject to Section 12.10 of the Dyax Agreement) and (y) any Joint Patents throughout the world.
(b) Promptly after the Effective Date, MedImmune shall transfer or disclose to Kolltan, in whatever manner or form Kolltan may reasonably request, all documents, correspondence and other information and materials Controlled by MedImmune as of the Effective Date that relate to the MedImmune Patents as reasonably necessary for Kolltan to exercise its rights under clause (ii)(x) of Section 7.3.1(a). Such transfers and disclosures shall be made (i) in any manner or form reasonably requested by Kolltan and (ii) at MedImmune’s expense; provided, however, if at Kolltan’s request any such transfer or disclosure is made in any manner or form that is not reasonably standard in the biopharmaceutical industry for transfers or disclosures of a similar kind, such transfer or disclosure shall be made at Kolltan’s expense.
(c) MedImmune shall reimburse Kolltan for the reasonable Out-of-Pocket Costs of Kolltan in the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any MedImmune Patent or Joint Patent; provided, however, that MedImmune shall have the right to assign any such Patent in any country (or, in case of a Joint Patent, to assign MedImmune’s interest in such Joint Patent in any country) to Kolltan, in which case such Patent (or Joint Patent) in such country shall thereafter be deemed a Kolltan Patent, or (in the case of a MedImmune Patent) to cause the abandonment of any such Patent in any country, at Kolltan’s election, and thereby to terminate MedImmune’s obligation to reimburse such costs incurred thereafter, upon [**] days’ written notice to Kolltan. Kolltan will provide an invoice to MedImmune for reimbursement of Out-of-Pocket Costs within [**] days of receiving an invoice from a Third Party for such Out-of-Pocket Costs.
(d) The Parties shall work together in good faith to agree upon a strategy for the prosecution of any MedImmune Patents and Joint Patents, including the list of countries in which such Patents will be filed; provided, however, that (subject to Section 7.3.1(e)) Kolltan shall have the final right to make such determinations. Kolltan shall provide MedImmune with a draft of any prosecution filing related to any MedImmune Patents or Joint Patents at least [**] days in advance of submission (or, if such timing is not practicable, as far in advance of submission as practicable) and shall provide MedImmune an opportunity to provide comments on and make requests of Kolltan concerning such filing and shall consider in good faith any comments or requests regarding such filing that MedImmune may timely provide. In
addition, Kolltan shall provide to MedImmune such other information related to prosecution of any MedImmune Patents or Joint Patents as MedImmune may from time to time reasonably request to allow MedImmune to track prosecution and maintenance of such Patents and shall consider in good faith any comments that MedImmune may provide with respect to such matters.
(e) Kolltan shall give MedImmune written notice reasonably, but in no event less than [**] days, in advance of any decision by Kolltan not to file an application for or to abandon the prosecution of or otherwise not maintain or extend any MedImmune Patent or Joint Patent in any country. Upon receiving such notice, MedImmune shall have the right, at its own cost, to file, prosecute, maintain and extend, as the case may be, such MedImmune Patent or Joint Patent, in MedImmune’s name, in such country; provided, however, that MedImmune shall not exercise such right without the prior written consent of Kolltan (which Kolltan may withhold in its sole discretion) if Kolltan’s decision not to file an application for or to abandon the prosecution of or otherwise not maintain or extend such MedImmune Patent or Joint Patent is made for strategic business reasons (e.g., in countries with compulsory licensing policies). If MedImmune exercises its rights under this Section 7.3.1(e) with respect to any Joint Patent in any country, Kolltan shall (i) assign its entire right, title and interest in such Joint Patent in such country to MedImmune, (ii) use reasonable efforts to make its authorized attorneys, agents or representatives available to MedImmune and to assist MedImmune in obtaining and maintaining such patent protection, and (iii) sign or use reasonable efforts to have signed all legal documents necessary to file and prosecute such Joint Patent or to obtain or maintain such Joint Patent.
7.3.2 MedImmune Rights.
(a) MedImmune shall have (i) the sole right, at MedImmune’s discretion and expense, to file, prosecute, and maintain (including with respect to any interference, derivation, re-issuance, re-examination, opposition or other post-grant proceedings) any MedImmune Manufacturing Patents throughout the world, and (ii) the first right, at MedImmune’s discretion (subject to the remainder of this Section 7.3.2) and expense, to file, prosecute, and maintain (including with respect to any interference, derivation, re-issuance, re-examination, opposition or other post-grant proceedings) any MedImmune Additional Patents throughout the world.
(b) The Parties shall work together in good faith to agree upon a strategy for the prosecution of any MedImmune Additional Patents, including the list of countries in which such MedImmune Additional Patents will be filed; provided, however, that (subject to Section 7.3.2(c)) MedImmune shall have the final right to make such determinations. MedImmune shall provide Kolltan with a draft of any prosecution filing related to any MedImmune Additional Patents at least [**] days in advance of submission (or, if such timing is not practicable, as far in advance of submission as practicable) and shall provide Kolltan an opportunity to provide comments on and make requests of MedImmune concerning such filing and shall consider in good faith any comments or requests regarding such filing that Kolltan may timely provide. In addition, MedImmune shall provide to Kolltan such other information related to prosecution of any MedImmune Additional Patents as Kolltan may from time to time reasonably request to allow Kolltan to track prosecution and maintenance of such Patents and shall consider in good faith any comments that Kolltan may provide with respect to such matters.
(c) MedImmune shall give Kolltan written notice reasonably, but in no event less than [**] days, in advance of any decision by MedImmune not to file an application for or to abandon the prosecution of or otherwise not maintain or extend any MedImmune Additional Patents in any country. Upon receiving such notice, Kolltan shall have the right, at its own cost, to file, prosecute, maintain and extend, as the case may be, such MedImmune Additional Patents, in Kolltan’s name, in such country; provided, however, that Kolltan shall not exercise such right without the prior written consent of MedImmune (which MedImmune may withhold in its sole discretion) if MedImmune’s decision not to file an application for or to abandon the prosecution of or otherwise not maintain or extend such MedImmune Additional Patent is made for strategic business reasons (e.g., in countries with compulsory licensing policies).
7.4 Third Party Infringement.
7.4.1 Notice. Each Party shall promptly report in writing to the other Party any known or suspected (a) infringement of any of the MedImmune Patents, MedImmune Additional Patents, Kolltan Patents or Joint Patents; (b) unauthorized use or misappropriation of any of the MedImmune Know-How, MedImmune Additional Know-How, Kolltan Know-How or Joint Know-How of which such Party becomes aware; or (c) notification under the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, as amended, or any similar law, from a biosimilar applicant arising from the filing of an application for the Regulatory Approval of a product intending to show that such product is biosimilar to any Licensed Product (or, in the case of MedImmune as the notifying Party, any Follow-On Product) that is a reference product for which a claim of infringement of any of the MedImmune Patents, MedImmune Additional Patents, Kolltan Patents or Joint Patents by the manufacture or sale of such product could reasonably be asserted, and shall provide the other Party with all available evidence regarding such known or suspected infringement or unauthorized use.
7.4.2 Enforcement of Patents.
(a) Kolltan Rights.
(i) Kolltan shall have (x) the sole right, but not the obligation, to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action to enforce any Kolltan Patents throughout the world and (y) the first right, but not the obligation, to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action to enforce (A) any MedImmune Patents throughout the world and (B) any Joint Patents throughout the world; provided, however, that Kolltan shall not initiate any such lawsuit or take such other action with respect to any matter described in this clause (y) without first consulting with MedImmune and giving good faith consideration to any reasonable objection from MedImmune regarding Kolltan’s proposed course of action. MedImmune shall cooperate in the prosecution of any suit under this Section 7.4.2(a)(i) as may be reasonably requested by Kolltan (including joining such suit as a plaintiff if Kolltan is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name); provided, however, that Kolltan shall promptly reimburse all Out-of-Pocket Costs (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of MedImmune in connection with such cooperation. In connection with any such proceeding, Kolltan shall not enter into any settlement admitting the invalidity of, or otherwise impairing MedImmune’s rights in, any MedImmune IP or Joint IP without the prior written consent of MedImmune.
(ii) Any recoveries resulting from an action brought by Kolltan under Section 7.4.2(a)(i) shall (x) first be applied to reimburse each Party for all Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred by such Party in connection with such proceeding (on a pro rata basis, based on each Party’s respective litigation costs, to the extent the recovery was less than all such litigation costs), and (y) second, as to any remainder after such reimbursements are made, be retained by Kolltan; provided, however, that (A) to the extent the award is based on lost profits with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, MedImmune shall receive an amount equal to the royalty that would be payable, pursuant to Section 6.4, on the imputed amount of Net Sales of such Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, in the country in which such infringement occurred based on the amount retained by Kolltan under this clause (y), and (B) to the extent the award reflects the amount of reasonable royalty payments due to Kolltan with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product (excluding, for clarity, any award to the extent described in clause (A) above), the amount retained by Kolltan under this clause (y) shall be deemed Net Sales hereunder (and accordingly subject to any applicable royalty obligation under Section 6.4).
(iii) If Kolltan in good faith does not intend to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action with respect to any matter described in clause (y) of Section 7.4.2(a)(i), then Kolltan shall notify MedImmune thereof (x) if there is no time limit for the filing of such action, within [**] days following the notice of alleged infringement, or (y) if there is a time limit for the filing of such action (including those set forth in Applicable Law), at least [**] days before the time limit, and upon receipt of such notice MedImmune shall have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate such lawsuit or take such other action, after providing [**] days (or [**] days in the event there is a time limit) notice to Kolltan and giving good faith consideration to Kolltan’s reason(s) for not initiating a lawsuit or taking other action; provided, however, that MedImmune shall not initiate such a lawsuit or take such other action without the prior written consent of Kolltan (which Kolltan may withhold in its sole discretion) if Kolltan’s decision not to exercise its first right with respect thereto was made for strategic business reasons. Kolltan shall cooperate in the prosecution of any suit initiated by MedImmune to the extent permitted by the prior sentence as may be reasonably requested by MedImmune (including joining such suit as a plaintiff if MedImmune is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name); provided, however, that MedImmune shall promptly reimburse all Out-of-Pocket Costs (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of Kolltan in connection with such cooperation. Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, any recoveries resulting from such an action brought by MedImmune in accordance with this Section 7.4.2(a)(iii)shall be retained by MedImmune.
(b) MedImmune Rights.
(i) MedImmune shall have (x) the sole right, but not the obligation, to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action to enforce any MedImmune Manufacturing Patents throughout the world and (y) the first right, but not the obligation, to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action to enforce any MedImmune Additional Patents throughout the world; provided, however, that MedImmune shall not initiate any such lawsuit or take such other action with respect to any matter described in this clause (y) without first consulting with Kolltan and giving good faith consideration to any reasonable objection from Kolltan regarding MedImmune’s proposed course of action. Kolltan shall cooperate in the
prosecution of any suit under this Section 7.4.2(b)(i) as may be reasonably requested by MedImmune (including joining such suit as a plaintiff if MedImmune is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name); provided, however, that MedImmune shall promptly reimburse all Out-of-Pocket Costs (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of Kolltan in connection with such cooperation. In connection with any such proceeding, MedImmune shall not enter into any settlement admitting the invalidity of, or otherwise impairing Kolltan’s rights in, any MedImmune Additional IP without the prior written consent of Kolltan.
(ii) With respect to any lawsuit initiated or other action taken by MedImmune under clause (y) of Section 7.4.2(b)(i), (w) MedImmune shall keep Kolltan reasonably informed of the status of such lawsuit or action; (x) without limiting clause (w), MedImmune shall provide Kolltan with copies of any court filings or other material documents or correspondence received from any Third Party in connection with such lawsuit or action promptly after such filings or documents or correspondence are received by MedImmune; (y) MedImmune shall consult with Kolltan with respect to such lawsuit or action and consider any comments from Kolltan with respect to such lawsuit or action in good faith; and (z) without limiting clause (y), MedImmune shall provide Kolltan with drafts of any court filings or other material documents or correspondence to be filed or delivered by MedImmune prior to the date of filing or delivery such that Kolltan has a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments, and to the extent Kolltan provides comments thereon promptly and in sufficient time to allow MedImmune to meet applicable filing requirements, MedImmune shall consider such comments in good faith.
(iii) Any recoveries resulting from an action brought by MedImmune under Section 7.4.2(b)(i) shall (x) first be applied to reimburse each Party for all Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred by such Party in connection with such proceeding (on a pro rata basis, based on each Party’s respective litigation costs, to the extent the recovery was less than all such litigation costs), and (y) second, as to any remainder after such reimbursements are made, (A) to the extent the award is based on lost profits with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, such remainder shall be retained by Kolltan; provided, however, that if the award is based on lost profits with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, then MedImmune shall receive an amount equal to the royalty that would be payable, pursuant to Section 6.4, on the imputed amount of Net Sales of such Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, in the country in which such infringement occurred based on the amount retained by Kolltan under this clause (A); (B) to the extent the award reflects the amount of reasonable royalty payments due to Kolltan with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product (excluding, for clarity, any award to the extent described in clause (A) above), such remainder shall be retained by Kolltan; provided, however, that if the award is based on the amount of reasonable royalty payments due to Kolltan with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, then the amount retained by Kolltan under this clause (B) shall be deemed Net Sales hereunder (and accordingly subject to any applicable royalty obligation under Section 6.4); and (C) to the extent the award is not described in clauses (A) or (B) above, such remainder shall be equitably divided between MedImmune and Kolltan.
(iv) If MedImmune in good faith does not intend to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action with respect to any matter described in clause (y) of
Section 7.4.2(b)(i), then MedImmune shall notify Kolltan thereof (x) if there is no time limit for the filing of such action, within [**] days following the notice of alleged infringement, or (y) if there is a time limit for the filing of such action (including those set forth in Applicable Law), at least [**] days before the time limit, and upon receipt of such notice Kolltan shall have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate such lawsuit or take such other action, after providing [**] days (or [**] days in the event there is a time limit) notice to MedImmune and giving good faith consideration to MedImmune’s reason(s) for not initiating a lawsuit or taking other action; provided, however, that Kolltan shall not initiate such a lawsuit or take such other action without the prior written consent of MedImmune (which MedImmune may withhold in its sole discretion) if MedImmune’s decision not to exercise its first right with respect thereto was made for strategic business reasons. MedImmune shall cooperate in the prosecution of any suit initiated by Kolltan to the extent permitted by the prior sentence as may be reasonably requested by Kolltan (including joining such suit as a plaintiff if Kolltan is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name); provided, however, that Kolltan shall promptly reimburse all Out-of-Pocket Costs (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of MedImmune in connection with such cooperation. Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, any recoveries resulting from such an action brought by Kolltan in accordance with this Section 7.4.2(b)(iv)shall be retained by Kolltan.
7.4.3 Conduct of Certain Actions; Costs. The Party initiating legal action shall have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any suit initiated by it pursuant to Section 7.4.2 (the “Initiating Party”).

In addition, MedImmune shall provide to Kolltan such other information related to such Existing Proceeding as Kolltan may from time to time reasonably request to allow Kolltan to track such Existing Proceeding and shall consider in good faith any comments that Kolltan may provide with respect to such matters. MedImmune shall also work with Kolltan in good faith with respect to the strategy for the prosecution of such Existing Proceeding.
7.10.2 Assumption of Control by Kolltan. MedImmune shall give Kolltan written notice reasonably, but in no event less than [**] days, in advance of any decision by MedImmune not to continue to prosecute any Existing Proceeding.

10.2 Indemnification by MedImmune. MedImmune shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Kolltan Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses relating to or in connection with a Third Party claim arising out of (a) any activities conducted by MedImmune or its Affiliates with respect to the Licensed Antibody or Licensed Products on or prior to the Effective Date; (b) any death, personal bodily injury or damage to real or tangible personal property alleged or proven to result, directly or indirectly, from the possession, use or consumption of, or treatment with, any Licensed Antibody or Licensed Product included in or produced from the Inventory, including any product liability claims; (c) any actual or alleged infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation of any Patent or other intellectual property right of a Third Party with respect to the activities of MedImmune or its Affiliates hereunder; (d) any breach by MedImmune of its representations, warranties or covenants made under this Agreement; or (e) any illegal or negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of MedImmune or its Affiliates or any of their employees, contractors or agents, in performing any activities under or in connection with this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, whether before or after the Effective Date; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent that any such Losses (i) are attributable to an illegal act by or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Kolltan Indemnitees, or (ii) are otherwise subject to an obligation by Kolltan to indemnify the MedImmune Indemnitees under Section 10.1, as to which Losses the provisions of Section 10.4 shall apply.
10.3 Procedure. In the event of a claim by a Third Party against any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Party claiming indemnification (in such capacity, the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the claim (it being understood that the failure by the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice of a Third Party claim as provided in this Section 10.3 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give prompt notice). Within [**] days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, undertake and solely manage and control, at its sole expense and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the defense of the claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake such defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not controlling such defense shall cooperate with the other Party and may, at its option and expense, participate in such defense with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense as set forth above and the Indemnified Party in good faith concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party (or the relevant MedImmune Indemnitee or Kolltan Indemnitee seeking indemnification) have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the Indemnified Party’s counsel may fully participate in such defense and the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the indemnified Persons solely in connection therewith. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof, shall provide the other Party copies of material documents and filings related to such action, suit, proceeding or claim and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. Except if the Indemnifying Party did not undertake defense of the claim as set forth above, or if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party (or the relevant MedImmune Indemnitee or Kolltan Indemnitee seeking indemnification) have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the Indemnified Party engages separate counsel, as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any litigation costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent. The Indemnified Party shall not settle any such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, any such action, suit, proceeding or claim, or consent to any judgment in respect thereof, that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or that acknowledges fault by the Indemnified Party.
10.4 Allocation. In the event a claim falls within the scope of the indemnity given by each Party in Section 10.1 or 10.2, as the case may be, any payments in connection with such claim shall be apportioned between the Parties in accordance with the degree of fault attributable to each Party.
10.5 EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF ARTICLE 8 OR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 10, NEITHER MEDIMMUNE NOR KOLLTAN, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, WILL BE LIABLE FOR
ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER LIABILITY IS ASSERTED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY), INDEMNITY OR CONTRIBUTION, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF, OR OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE ANTICIPATED THE POSSIBILITY OF, ANY SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE.
10.6 Insurance.

Each of the policies in clauses (b), (c), (d) and (f) above shall name MedImmune as an Additional Insured, and all of the above policies shall be primary to any liability insurance carried by MedImmune, which insurance(s) shall be excess and non-contributory for claims and losses arising out of the performance of this Agreement. Kolltan shall furnish a certificate of insurance for any of the required policies as soon as practicable after the Effective Date (or such later time as Kolltan obtains the applicable policy) and upon any renewal thereof. All such insurances as required under this Section 10.6.2 shall be written with a company or companies
having a financial rating of not less than A- in the most current edition of Bests Key Rating Guide.
In the event that any of the required policies of insurance are written on a claims made basis, then such policies shall be maintained for a period of not less than [**] years following the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
MedImmune shall promptly provide to Kolltan such information as Kolltan reasonably requests to enable Kolltan to comply with its obligations under this Section 10.6.2.

In the event that Kolltan grants to any Third Party any sublicense under any license or sublicense granted to Kolltan under Section 2.1 (the “Sublicensed Rights”), upon any termination of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to the applicable Program that results in the termination of Kolltan’s rights to the Sublicensed Rights, if as of such termination the applicable sublicensee is not in breach of its obligations under the applicable sublicense agreement with Kolltan, then MedImmune shall, upon the reasonable request of such sublicensee, grant such sublicensee a license or sublicense, as applicable, under the Sublicensed Rights on substantially the same terms as Kolltan had previously granted such sublicensee a sublicense under the Sublicensed Rights.
11.8 Accrued Rights; Surviving Provisions.
11.8.1 Accrued Rights. Termination or expiration of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to a Program for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of any Party prior to such termination or expiration, including any rights of Kolltan under Section 6.4.5 and any rights of MedImmune under Section 3.5.2 or Sections 6.6 through 6.10, and any and all damages or remedies arising from any breach hereunder.

MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 Dispute Resolution by Executive Officers. In the event of any dispute between the Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any dispute regarding the interpretation, effect, termination, validity, performance and/or breach of this Agreement or any amendments hereto (each, a “Dispute”), either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, refer the Dispute to the Executive Officers for attempted resolution by good faith
negotiations for a period of [**] days after such notice is received (or such longer time as may be agreed by the Executive Officers) (the “Resolution Period”). In the event a Dispute is referred to the Executive Officers in accordance with the preceding sentence, (a) the Parties shall cause their respective Executive Officers to meet with each other and attempt to resolve such Dispute through good faith negotiations for the duration of the Resolution Period and (b) if the Parties are able to resolve such Dispute during the Resolution Period, upon the request of either Party, a memorandum setting forth the resolution shall be prepared and signed by the Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Party shall initiate any action, suit or proceeding under Section 12.2 (other than any action for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other similar interim or conservatory relief) unless the applicable Dispute has been referred to the Executive Officers under this Section 12.1 and the Resolution Period with respect to such Dispute has expired.
12.2 Jurisdiction and Venue.
12.2.1 Subject to Section 12.2.2, each Party (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City of New York, State of New York (the “Court”) with respect to any Dispute, and (b) agrees not to raise any objection at any time to the laying or maintaining of the venue of any action, suit or proceeding for such purpose in any such Court, irrevocably waives any claim that such action, suit or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waives the right to object, with respect to such action, suit or other proceeding, that such Court does not have any jurisdiction over such Party, and (c) agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding with respect to any Dispute except in such Court. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s notice address provided for in this Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in the Court with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 12.2.1.
12.2.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Patent Matter shall be subject to adjudication in accordance with the laws of the country in which the applicable Patent is pending or has been issued. The Parties agree that the venue of any such adjudication shall be (a) if the applicable Patent is pending in or has been issued by the United States, a U.S. federal district court sitting in the City of New York, State of New York, and (b) if the applicable Patent is pending in or has been issued by any other country, any competent court having jurisdiction over the subject of the Patent Matter sitting in the capital of such country (or if there is not any such competent court in the capital, a location reasonably proximate to the capital). For any Patent Matter and any applicable court as described in the previous sentence, each Party (w) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court, (x) agrees not to raise any objection at any time to the laying or maintaining of the venue of any action, suit or proceeding relating to such Patent Matter in such court, (y) irrevocably waives any claim that any action, suit or proceeding relating to such Patent Matter in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, including any forum non conveniens argument, and (z) irrevocably waives the right to object, with respect to any action, suit or proceeding relating to such Patent Matter, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such Party.
12.3 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising from the performance or breach hereof shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of New York without reference to conflicts of laws principles.
12.4 Assignment.
12.4.1 By MedImmune. MedImmune may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Kolltan, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MedImmune may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Kolltan (but shall notify Kolltan in writing promptly after any such assignment) (a) subject to the next sentence, by way of sale of itself or the sale of the portion of its business to which this Agreement relates, through merger, sale of assets or sale of stock or ownership interest, provided that the assignee shall expressly agree to be bound by MedImmune’s obligations hereunder and that such sale is not primarily for the benefit of MedImmune’s creditors, and (b) to any of its Affiliates, provided that the assignee shall expressly agree to be bound by MedImmune’s obligations hereunder and that MedImmune shall remain responsible for its applicable Affiliate’s performance hereunder. In the event of an acquisition of MedImmune or its assets or equity by a Third Party, such acquisition shall not provide Kolltan with rights or access to (x) any Patents or Know-How of such Third Party, or any Affiliate of such Third Party that becomes an Affiliate of MedImmune as a result of such acquisition, that exists prior to such acquisition, or (y) any Patents or Know-How of such Third Party, or any Affiliate of such Third Party that becomes an Affiliate of MedImmune as a result of such acquisition, that are filed or developed, as the case may be, after the date of such acquisition, in the case of (y) for so long as MedImmune (or, in the case of an acquisition of MedImmune’s assets by such Third Party, the applicable program of such Third Party) continues to conduct any activities related to this Agreement independently of such Third Party (or, in the case of an acquisition of MedImmune’s assets by such Third Party, any other programs of such Third Party), or such Affiliate of such Third Party, and without any sharing or transfer of relevant Know-How.
12.4.2 By Kolltan.
(a) Kolltan may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of MedImmune, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kolltan may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of MedImmune (but shall notify MedImmune in writing promptly after any such assignment):
(i) prior to the Option Termination Date and subject to Section 12.4.2(b), by way of sale of itself or the sale of the portion of its business to which this Agreement relates (the “Triggering Sale”), through merger, sale of assets or sale of stock or ownership interest, to any Third Party that as of the time of such Triggering Sale (x) is not Commercializing a Competing Product or (y) has not enrolled the first patient in a Clinical Trial of a Competing Product, which Clinical Trial for such Competing Product is: (1) a Phase 3 Clinical Trial, if, as of the time of such Triggering Sale, Kolltan has enrolled the first patient in a Phase 3 Clinical Trial of a Licensed Product; (2) a Phase 2 Clinical Trial or Phase 3 Clinical Trial, if, as of the time of such Triggering Sale, Kolltan has enrolled the first patient in a Phase 2
Clinical Trial of the Licensed Product but has not enrolled the first patient in a Phase 3 Clinical Trial of the Licensed Product; or (3) a Phase 1 Clinical Trial, Phase 2 Clinical Trial or Phase 3 Clinical Trial, if as of the time of such Triggering Sale, Kolltan either (A) has not enrolled the first patient in any Clinical Trial of the Licensed Product or (B) has enrolled the first patient in a Phase 1 Clinical Trial of the Licensed Product but has not enrolled the first patient in a Phase 2 Clinical Trial of the License Product or a Phase 3 Clinical Trial of the Licensed Product (a “Same or Later Stage Clinical Trial”), provided that the assignee shall expressly agree to be bound by Kolltan’s obligations hereunder and that such Triggering Sale is not primarily for the benefit of Kolltan’s creditors;
(ii) on or after the Option Termination Date and subject to Section 12.4.2(b), by way of a Triggering Sale to any Third Party, provided that the assignee shall expressly agree to be bound by Kolltan’s obligations hereunder and that such Triggering Sale is not primarily for the benefit of Kolltan’s creditors; provided, however, that if, as of the time of such Triggering Sale, such Third Party (x) is Commercializing a Competing Product or (y) has enrolled the first patient in a Same or Later Stage Clinical Trial of a Competing Product, then, at such Third Party’s election, which shall be delivered by written notice to MedImmune within [**] days after the date of such Triggering Sale, such Third Party shall, as promptly as practicable but in no event more than one year following the date of such Triggering Sale, either:
(x) divest all of its right, title and interest in and to any Competing Product that, as of the time of such Triggering Sale, such Third Party is Commercializing or with respect to which such Third Party has enrolled the first patient in a Same or Later Stage Clinical Trial (and any failure by such Third Party to consummate such divestment within such time period shall be deemed a material breach of Kolltan’s obligations hereunder); or
(y) assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Licensed Program to a Third Party that as of the time of such assignment (1) is not Commercializing a Competing Product or (2) has not enrolled the first patient in a Same or Later Stage Clinical Trial of a Competing Product; and
(iii) to any of its Affiliates, provided that the assignee shall expressly agree to be bound by Kolltan’s obligations hereunder and that Kolltan shall remain responsible for its applicable Affiliate’s performance hereunder.
(b) Limitations on Reach-Through. In the event of any acquisition of Kolltan or its assets or equity by a Third Party under Section 12.4.2(a)(i) or 12.4.2(a)(ii), such acquisition shall not provide MedImmune with rights or access to (i) any Patents or Know-How of such Third Party, or any Affiliate of such Third Party that becomes an Affiliate of Kolltan as a result of such acquisition, that exists prior to such acquisition, or (ii) any Patents or Know-How of such Third Party, or any Affiliate of such Third Party that becomes an Affiliate of Kolltan as a result of such acquisition, that are filed or developed, as the case may be, after the date of such acquisition, in the case of (ii) for so long as Kolltan (or, in the case of an acquisition of Kolltan’s assets by such Third Party, the applicable program of such Third Party) continues to conduct any activities related to this Agreement independently of such Third Party (or, in the case of an
acquisition of Kolltan’s assets by such Third Party, any other programs of such Third Party), or such Affiliate of such Third Party, and without any sharing or transfer of relevant Know-How.
12.4.3 By Either Party. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.4, this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties and the name of a Party appearing herein shall be deemed to include the names of such Party’s successors and permitted assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Any assignment not in accordance with this Section 12.4 shall be void.
12.5 Force Majeure. Each Party shall be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure (defined below) and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party uses commercially reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, “force majeure” shall include conditions beyond the control of the Parties, including an act of God, voluntary or involuntary compliance with any regulation, law or order of any government, war, act of terror, civil commotion, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe.
12.6 Notices. Any notice or request required or permitted to be given under or in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if in writing and personally delivered or sent by facsimile transmission (receipt verified) or reputable international business courier (signature required), prepaid, to the Party for which such notice is intended, at the address set forth for such Party below:

12.8 Waiver. Neither Party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in writing. The failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition.

There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement other than as set forth herein and therein. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties hereto unless reduced to writing and signed by the respective authorized officers of the Parties.
12.11 Independent Contractors. Nothing herein shall be construed to create any relationship of employer and employee, agent and principal, partnership or joint venture between the Parties. Each Party is an independent contractor. Neither Party shall assume, either directly or indirectly, any liability of or for the other Party. Neither Party shall have the authority to bind or obligate the other Party and neither Party shall represent that it has such authority.

The terms of this Agreement represent the results of negotiations between the Parties and their representatives, each of which has been represented by counsel of its own choosing, and neither of which has acted under duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise. Accordingly, the terms of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and each of the Parties hereto hereby waives the application in connection with the interpretation and construction of this Agreement of any rule of Applicable Law to the effect that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the Party whose attorney prepared the executed draft or any earlier draft of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to an Article, Section, subsection, paragraph, clause, Schedule or Exhibit shall be deemed to be a reference to any Article, Section, subsection, paragraph, clause, Schedule or Exhibit, of or to, as the case may be, this Agreement.

12.13 Further Actions. Each Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the expressly stated purposes and the clear intent of this Agreement.
12.14 Parties in Interest. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, administrators and permitted assigns.

Exhibit 3.6.2(a)
Inventory Storage, Formulation, Filling and Delivery
1. Form of Licensed Antibody in the Inventory. Without limiting Section 3.6.1 or Exhibit 3.6.1, the Licensed Antibody in the Inventory includes unformulated drug substance (“UDS”) and drug product in non-labeled vials (“DP”).
2. Testing as of Effective Date. Without limiting Section 3.6.2(c), MedImmune will communicate to Kolltan the results, as of the Effective Date, of any analytical testing and stability testing of the Inventory and will indicate whether (a) as of the Effective Date, the Inventory and Materials have been stored and maintained in accordance with the applicable storage specifications set forth in Exhibit 3.6.2(a)(i), (b) as of the Effective Date, stability testing of the Inventory has been conducted, and (c) as of the date of the last stability testing of the Inventory conducted prior to the Effective Date, the Inventory conformed to the applicable product specifications set forth in Exhibit 3.6.2(c)(i).
3. Storage. MedImmune will store the Inventory and Materials at MedImmune or MedImmune’s Third Party warehouse(s) (collectively, the “Warehouses”) for up to [**] days after the Effective Date without charge. Kolltan will notify MedImmune within [**] days after the Effective Date of Kolltan’s decision to (a) continue storage of any or all quantities of the Inventory and the Materials at the Warehouses for a fee payable to MedImmune (“Storage Fee”) and/or (b) transfer any or all quantities of the the Inventory and Materials to a warehouse designated by Kolltan with transfer fees and storage fees for that warehouse paid directly by Kolltan. If Kolltan elects continued storage of any quantites of the Inventory and Materials by MedImmune, the Parties shall, if applicable, mutally agree on the storage terms for the Materials (to the extent they have not done so already) and MedImmune will store such quantities at the Warehouses until (x) in the case of Inventory, the applicable quantity has expired as determined by the stability study for the Inventory (“Expiration Date”) or (y) in the case of Inventory and Materials, until directed by Kolltan to transfer the applicable quantity to a warehouse designated by Kolltan. Any Inventory remaining in storage at the Warehouses after the Expiration Date will be destroyed or transferred to a warehouse designated by Kolltan, all according to Kolltan’s reasonable written instructions. The Storage Fee will be a pass-through, without xxxx-up, of the storage fee paid by MedImmune for Kolltan’s Inventory and Materials at the Warehouses. For so long as any part of the Inventory or Materials are stored at any Warehouse, Kolltan shall have the right, at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice, to reasonably inspect such Warehouse to confirm MedImmune’s compliance with its obligations under Section 3.6.2.
4. Stability Studies. MedImmune will continue to provide updates on the stability studies within [**] days after results become available under the stability study protocols, which will be provided to Kolltan. MedImmune will charge a fee of $[**] for completion of the currently underway stability studies for Inventory. To the extent that new stability studies for Inventory are required due to unforeseen circumstances, the Parties will discuss and agree on a reasonable fee.
5. Delivery. Kolltan will provide written instructions as to the timing and manner of delivery of Inventory and Materials out of storage. MedImmune will deliver all Licensed Antibody in the Inventory as DP, i.e., drug product in non-labeled vialed form, unless otherwise requested by Kolltan. MedImmune will not, and will have no obligation to, label or (subject to Section 6 below) package the Inventory. MedImmune will prepare Inventory and Materials for shipment to Kolltan or to Kolltan’s designated Third Party. At Kolltan’s request, MedImmune may recommend a contract manufacturer for labeling. Kolltan will pay transfer costs to the contract manufacturer.
6. Formulation and Filling. When requested by Kolltan with no less than [**] months’ notice, MedImmune will fill DS into unlabeled vials and package them for shipment for a fee of $[**] per batch. MedImmune will formulate UDS into DS for a fee of $[**] per batch. At Kolltan’s request, MedImmune may recommend a contract manufacturer for filling, labeling and/or formulation and establish a plan for the transfer of the UDS and DS and the information necessary and customary in the industry to enable a Third Party to formulate UDS and fill DS for Kolltan. Kolltan will pay for the cost of transfer to the contract manufacturer.

Exhibit 3.6.3(a)
Clinical and Research Supply Agreement Principles
1. Supply Agreement - Overview
The Clinical and Research Supply Agreement (for purposes of this Exhibit, the “Supply Agreement”) will consist of general principles set forth in a main agreement and project addenda that will be entered into for specific manufacturing projects or for particular services (“Project Addenda”). At this time the Parties anticipate separate Project Addenda for (1) research supply and Xxxxx 0 & Xxxxx 0 xxxxxxxx xxxxxx, (0) Xxxxx 0 clinical supply, and (3) special services not covered by the supply Project Addenda such as technology transfer (except for technology transfer by MedImmune upon termination as described below), process development, formulation development and the like. Drug substance and drug product containing Licensed Antibody and Licensed Product are referred to in this Exhibit as “Product.”
1.1 Manufacture.
MedImmune will manufacture for Kolltan those quantities of Product required by a Project Addendum. Product will be manufactured and delivered in accordance with the Project Addendum and the Quality Agreement. The Parties will agree on a forecasting procedure which may include a long term forecast and a binding forecast.
1.2 Data Transfer.
MedImmune will provide to Kolltan a mutually agreed data set for each lot of Product to enable Kolltan to prepare documents required for Kolltan’s regulatory agency filings. The foregoing sentence notwithstanding, MedImmune has no obligation under the Supply Agreement to disclose to Kolltan any MedImmune Manufacturing Know How related to MedImmune proprietary cell culture media and nutrient feeds used in the manufacturing process.
1.3 Delivery Terms; Title and Risk of Loss.
Delivery terms will be FCA (Incoterms 2010) MedImmune’s facility. Title and risk of loss or damage will pass to Kolltan upon delivery of Product to the designated carrier at MedImmune’s facility. Kolltan will be responsible for obtaining governmental permits, consents and approvals required for export out of country of origin and for import into the destination country.
1.4 Final Release of Product.
MedImmune will perform a manufacturer’s release of Product and will provide Kolltan with a certificate of analysis. Kolltan will perform the final release of Product.
1.5 Regulatory Matters.
When requested by Kolltan, MedImmune will provide to Kolltan documentation in support of GMP Manufacture of Product for filing by Kolltan with regulatory authorities in the U.S., any of the member states of the European Union, or other jurisdictions mutually agreed in writing. If supporting such approval would require material changes or significant resources, then the Parties will first prepare a written action plan, which includes responsibilities and costs.
1.6 Assistance to Kolltan.
MedImmune will provide reasonable assistance to Kolltan with respect to any filings related to the Product that Kolltan may wish to make to a regulatory authority; such assistance may include providing to Kolltan requested documentation with respect to the services performed under the Supply Agreement. MedImmune further will provide reasonable assistance to Kolltan with respect to Kolltan responding to regulatory authorities. Any additional assistance will be subject to a separate Project Addendum with a separate fee.
1.7 Product Warranties; Acceptance and Rejection; Failure to Supply.
MedImmune will make customary warranties regarding any Product delivered to Kolltan under the Supply Agreement. The Supply Agreement will contain procedures for acceptance and rejection of Product and procedures for dispute resolution related to rejection of Product. The Supply Agreement will specify appropriate remedies for Kolltan if MedImmune fails to supply Product in a timely manner in accordance with the applicable warranties.
1.8 Subcontractors
MedImmune may engage subcontractors identified on a list agreed by the Parties and attached as an exhibit to the Supply Agreement, to carry out MedImmune’s responsibilities under the Supply Agreement, provided that such subcontractors are subject to the applicable terms of the Supply Agreement and Quality Agreement. The list of approved subcontractors may be updated from time to time by MedImmune with Kolltan’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. MedImmune will remain responsible for the peformance by its subcontractors of its obligations under the Supply Agreement.
2. Quality; Audit
A quality agreement will be executed at the same time as, or prior to, the execution of a Project Addendum for GMP manufacture (the “Quality Agreement”). The Supply Agreement will include rights for Kolltan to audit and inspect MedImmune’s books, records and facilities as reasonably required to comply with regulatory requirements or confirm MedImmune’s compliance with its obligations under the Supply Agreement.
3. Pricing
3.1. MedImmune will supply Product to Kolltan at rates not materially different from those charged by third party contract manufacturers.
3.2. Kolltan will pay invoices within [**] days after receipt.
4. Compliance with Legal and Regulatory Requirements
4.1. Appropriate provisions will be included in the Supply Agreement to ensure that each Party complies with all relevant local, national and international legal or regulatory requirements and other relevant requirements applicable to the manufacture, handing, transport and storage of Product.
5. Document Retention
5.1. Appropriate provisions will be included in the Supply Agreement with regard to maintaining appropriate documentation for patent and regulatory purposes and in full compliance with all applicable laws.
6. Product Security and Waste Disposal
6.1. Appropriate provisions will be included in the Supply Agreement with regard to product security and waste handling.
7. Ownership of Results and Background IPR
7.1. The applicable intellectual property provisions of the Agreement will be reflected as appropriate in the Supply Agreement.
8. General Provisions

Each Party agrees and acknowledges that the Supply Agreement will contain a number of other provisions that are standard in the biopharmaceutical manufacture industry, including with respect to insurance, indemnification, confidentiality, assignment, governing law and jurisdiction, which will not conflict or be inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement.
9. Termination
9.1. Either Party shall have the right to terminate the Supply Agreement for convenience on appropriate notice (which in the case of MedImmune shall be on twelve (12) months’ notice not to be delivered prior to December 31, 2016); or for material breach of the Supply Agreement by the other Party or insolvency.
9.2. The Supply Agreement shall automatically terminate:
9.2.1. upon termination of the Agreement in its entirety by MedImmune due to Kolltan’s material breach of the Agreement or insolvency; and
9.2.2. upon termination of the Agreement by Kolltan with respect to each of the Licensed Program and the Follow-On Program under Section 11.4 of the Agreement.
9.3.
