9.6. Additional Milestone Payment Terms.

(a) As used in Section 9.3 (Development Milestone Payments) or Section 9.4 (Regulatory Milestone Payments) above, (i) “[*]” means, [**], and (ii) “[**]” means, [**].

(b) If, upon the achievement of a Development Milestone Event described in Section 9.3 (Development Milestone Payments) for a given Financial Product [**], the achievement of an earlier Development Milestone Event described in Section 9.3 (Development Milestone Payments) other than Development Milestone Event #1 ([**]) for the corresponding Financial Product [**] has not occurred, such unachieved Development Milestone Event shall be deemed achieved upon achievement of the later Development Milestone Event for such Financial Product [**]. For illustration purposes only, if, upon achievement of Development Milestone Event number 4, Development Milestone Event number 2 (with respect to [**]) has not occurred, such Development Milestone Event number 2 shall be deemed achieved upon achievement of such Development Milestone Event number 4.

(c) If, upon the achievement of any Regulatory Milestone Event described in Section 9.4 (Regulatory Milestone Payments) for a given Financial Product [**], the achievement of the Development Milestone Event described in Section 9.3 (Development Milestone Payments) with respect to [**] has not occurred, such unachieved Development Milestone Event shall be deemed achieved upon achievement of such Regulatory Milestone Event. For illustration purposes only, if, upon achievement of Regulatory Milestone Event number 1, number 3 or number 5 (with respect to [**]), Development Milestone Event number 4 (with respect to [**]) has not occurred, such Development Milestone Event shall be deemed achieved upon achievement of such Regulatory Milestone Event.

9.7. Royalties on Net Sales.

(a) Royalty Rate. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9.7 (Royalties on Net Sales), Gilead shall pay to CGEN, on a Financial Product-by-Financial Product basis, and on a country-by-country basis in the Territory, royalties on Annual Net Sales for each such Financial Product for each Calendar Year during the applicable Royalty Term calculated at the applicable royalty rates set forth below:

Royalties
Portion of the Annual Net Sales for the Applicable Financial Product	Royalty Rate
On the portion of Annual Net Sales for the applicable Financial Product up to (including) [**]	[**]
On the portion of Annual Net Sales for the applicable Financial Product greater than [] and up to (including) []	[**]
On the portion of Annual Net Sales for the applicable Financial Product greater than [**]	[**]

(b) Expiration of the Royalty Term. Upon expiration of the Royalty Term for a given Financial Product in a given country (i) no further royalties will be payable in respect of sales of such Financial Product in such country and no further Net Sales in such country will accrue toward the achievement of the Commercial Milestone Events by Gilead, and (ii) the IL-18 License with respect to the Exploitation of such Financial Product in such country will automatically become fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable and royalty free. For clarity, only a single royalty will be payable as a result of one or more Valid Claims claiming a Financial Product during the Royalty Term.

(i) Lack of Valid Claims. On a Financial Product-by-Financial Product and country-by-country basis, if the Financial Product is not Covered by a Financial Patent in a given country, then the royalties payable with respect to such IL-18 Product in such country pursuant to Section 9.7(a) (Royalty Rate) will be reduced by [**].

(ii) Biosimilar Product Market Effect. On a country-by-country and Financial Product-by-Financial Product basis following the first Calendar Quarter in which a first commercial sale of one or more Biosimilar Products with respect to a Financial Product occurs in a country during the Royalty Term (such first Calendar Quarter, the “Biosimilar Launch Quarter”), the royalty amounts payable with respect to Annual Net Sales of such Financial Product shall be reduced by [**]. If the Net Sales of such Financial Product in any subsequent Calendar Quarter decline by [**] or more relative to the average Net Sales of such Financial Product occurring during the four consecutive Calendar Quarters immediately preceding the Biosimilar Launch Quarter (“Percentage Decline”), then, starting from such Calendar Quarter, the royalty amounts payable with respect to Annual Net Sales of such Financial Products shall be reduced by [**], unless and until the Net Sales of such Financial Product increase above such Percentage Decline.

(iii) Drug Pricing Programs. If a Financial Product is selected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for inclusion in the Medicare Maximum Fair Price Program pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1320f et seq. and any implementing regulations or guidance promulgated thereunder (“IRA”) or similar drug pricing programs wherein Regulatory Authorities establish prescription drug prices, then the royalties payable by Gilead to CGEN pursuant to Section 9.7(a) (Royalty Rate) shall be reduced, on a Financial Product-by-Financial Product basis, by [**]. For purposes of this Section 9.7(c)(iii), “[**]” of a Financial Product is [**].

(iv) Third Party IP Payments. Gilead and its Sublicensees shall have the right to deduct from any royalties payable by Gilead to CGEN with respect to Net Sales of a Financial Product pursuant to Section 9.7(a) (Royalty Rate) up to [**] of any royalties paid by Gilead or its Affiliates to a Third Party in consideration for a license or other right to practice such Third Party’s Patents or other Intellectual Property Rights, that, in Gilead’s reasonable judgment is necessary or useful for the Exploitation of the IL-18 Molecule in such Financial Product (such amounts paid by Gilead or its Affiliates to a Third Party, “Third Party IP Payments”). For clarity, if any Third Party IP Payments are payable partially on the basis of a Financial Product hereunder and partially on the basis of one or more other products owned or controlled by Gilead, then the amount of offset under this Section 9.7(c)(iv) (Third Party IP Payments) shall be limited to a reasonable allocation of Third Party IP Payments attributable to Net Sales of Financial Products.

(d) Royalty Floor. In no event shall the royalty reductions available to Gilead under Section 9.7(c) (Royalty Reduction), collectively or individually, reduce the royalties payable to CGEN for a given Calendar Quarter to less than [**] of the amount otherwise payable under Section 9.7 (Royalties on Net Sales) with respect to an applicable Financial Product. Gilead may carry forward any such reductions permitted under Section 9.7(c) (Royalty Reduction) that are incurred or accrued in a Calendar Quarter but are not applied against payments due to CGEN in such Calendar Quarter as a result of the foregoing floor and apply such amounts against payments due to CGEN in any subsequent Calendar Quarter (subject to the minimum floor set forth in this Section 9.7(d) (Royalty Floor)) until the amount of such reduction has been fully applied against payments due to CGEN.

(e) [**]. If any Third Party obtains a [**] in any country and the granted [**], then CGEN shall receive [**] of the [**] pursuant to such [**]. For clarity, Net Sales made by or on behalf of Gilead, its Affiliates, and any Sublicensees other than the [**] shall continue to bear royalties at the rates set forth in Section 9.7(a) (Royalty Rate), subject to any eligible reductions in Section 9.7(c) (Royalty Reductions).

9.8. CGEN Third Party Payments.

(a) Subject to 9.8(b) (CGEN Third Party Payments), CGEN shall be solely responsible for all costs and payments of any kind (including all upfront fees, annual payments, milestone payments and royalty payments) arising under any agreements between CGEN (or any of its Affiliates) and any Third Party, including under any Upstream License Agreement.

(b) On a Financial Product-by-Financial Product basis (as determined in accordance with Section 10.5 (Distinguishing Financial Products)), Gilead shall reimburse CGEN for any [**] that are incurred and paid by CGEN as a result of the Exploitation of any [**] under this Agreement.

(b) Technology Transfer. CGEN is responsible for the first [**] FTE hours in FTE Costs incurred by CGEN in performing its obligations under Section 3.5 (Technology Transfer). Thereafter Gilead shall reimburse CGEN for all additional FTE Costs incurred by CGEN to perform such obligations. CGEN is responsible for the first [**] in Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred by or on behalf of CGEN in performing its obligations under Section 3.5 (Technology Transfer). Thereafter, Gilead shall reimburse CGEN for all additional Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred by CGEN to perform such obligations.

10.2. Manufacturing Costs. If any COM503 is supplied to Gilead by CGEN prior to execution of the Clinical Supply Agreement, as further described in Section 8.1(a) (Clinical Supply) (during the Clinical Supply Term), then CGEN will invoice Gilead for such COM503 at the COM503 Transfer Price and Gilead will pay CGEN the full undisputed amount of each such invoice within [**] after its receipt.

10.4. Royalty Payments.

(a) During the Term, for each Calendar Quarter following the First Commercial Sale of an IL-18 Product in the Territory, Gilead shall furnish to CGEN:

(i) a quarterly written report for the Calendar Quarter showing, on a country-by-country and Financial Product-by-Financial Product basis, (1) the gross sales of all Financial Products subject to royalty payments sold by Gilead and its Related Parties in the Territory during the reporting period, (2) a calculation of Net Sales showing the deductions provided for in the definition of “Net Sales”, (3) a calculation of the royalties payable under this Agreement; and (4) solely for the purposes of permitting CGEN to comply with its obligations under the [**], a calculation of net sales showing the deductions permitted under the [**], which are set forth on Schedule 10.4(a)(i), solely to the extent that such calculation can be performed by Gilead under its standard internal processes for calculating net sales, or, if Gilead cannot perform such calculation under its standard internal processes, then Gilead shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide CGEN with the information identified by CGEN as necessary for CGEN to make such calculation (at CGEN’s request and expense); and

(ii) a quarterly written report for the Calendar Quarter showing, on a country-by-country basis, Gilead’s royalties payable to Third Parties on Net Sales made during such Calendar Quarter and any royalty adjustments taken by Gilead pursuant to Section 9.7(c) (Royalty Reduction), with such detail as shall reasonably allow CGEN to determine the basis for such quarterly costs.

(b) Reports under this Section 10.4 (Royalty Payments) shall be due within [**] following [**].

(c) Royalties shown to have accrued by each report shall, unless otherwise specified under this Agreement, be due and payable [**] after the date such report is due.

10.5. Distinguishing Financial Products. A Financial Product shall be distinct from another Financial Product for purposes of Milestone Payments, royalties, and [**] if a separate and distinct IND application or BLA or NDA, or their non-US equivalents, is required by a Regulatory Authority to be filed for each such Financial Product to clinically Develop in humans and obtain approval to Commercialize each such Financial Product.

10.6. Payment Exchange Rate. All payments to be made by Gilead to CGEN under this Agreement shall be made in US Dollars by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by CGEN, unless otherwise specified in writing by CGEN. With respect to sales of a Financial Product that are invoiced in a currency other than US Dollars, such amounts and amounts payable will be converted to US Dollars using the exchange rate mechanism generally applied by Gilead or its Affiliates in preparing its financial statements for the applicable Calendar Quarter in which the applicable sales were made.

10.7. Taxes.

(a) Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes, fees, duties, levies or similar amounts imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the activities of the Parties under this Agreement. The amounts payable by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced on account of any taxes unless required by Applicable Laws and Regulations. To the extent that a Party is required by Applicable Laws and Regulations to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to the other Party, such party shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper governmental authority in a timely manner, shall provide the other Party the proper certificates of withholding, and in such case, such Party’s remittance of such withheld taxes, together with payment to the other Party of the remaining payment, will constitute such Party’s full satisfaction of payments due under this Agreement. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to mitigate tax withholding (including a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, or recovery of, applicable withholding tax under any applicable tax treaty) or similar obligations in respect of the payments made under this Agreement, as permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations. If a Party (in this Section 10.7(a), the “Paying Party”) withholds any taxes from payments while the other Party (in this Section 10.7(a), the “Payee Party”) is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, applicable withholding tax, the Paying Party shall cooperate with the Payee Party with respect to any documentation or information required by the appropriate governmental authority or reasonably requested by the Payee Party to secure a reduction of the rate of, or the elimination of, the applicable taxes withheld. Further, if the Paying Party withholds any taxes from payments while the Payee Party wishes to protest the applicability of such withholding taxes to such payments, then: (1) the Payee Party may unilaterally approach the tax authorities in order to mitigate tax withholding as aforesaid after providing the Paying Party with prior written notice thereof; and (2) the Paying Party shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to assist the Payee Party to recover (whether by refund or credit) such withheld taxes, including by providing any documentation or information required by the appropriate governmental authority or reasonably requested by the Payee Party to obtain such recovery. Any withholding taxes recovered will be for the sole benefit of the Payee Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, either Party shall be entitled to present this Agreement to the tax authorities in connection with the efforts to mitigate tax withholding, and such disclosure shall not be deemed breach of such Party’s confidentiality obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party shall provide reasonable notice to the other Party prior to withholding any amount from such payments to allow the other Party to claim a reduction of otherwise applicable withholding taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Gilead assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate or Third Party in compliance with Section 18.3(a) (Assignment; Change of Control) and if such Affiliate or Third Party shall be required by Applicable Laws and Regulations to withhold any additional taxes from or in respect of any amount payable under this Agreement as a result of such assignment, then any such amount payable under this Agreement shall be increased to take into account the additional taxes withheld as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings, CGEN receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such assignment been made.

(b) All payments under this Agreement are stated exclusive of indirect taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax and similar, collectively referred to as “VAT”) and statutory VAT is to be added, if applicable. The invoicing party is obliged to issue an invoice for all payable amounts under this Agreement in accordance with applicable VAT law. The invoicing party shall comply with any additional reasonable requests of invoiced party in relation to such invoices. Invoiced Party shall pay such VAT following the receipt of a VAT invoice. The Parties shall cooperate in any way reasonably requested, to obtain available reductions, credits or refunds of any VAT amount under this Agreement, if applicable.

10.8. Records.

(a) Gilead Financial Records. During the Term and for a period of [**] after expiration or termination of this Agreement, or such longer period as required by Applicable Laws and Regulations, Gilead shall, and shall cause its Related Parties to, keep complete and accurate records in reasonable detail to allow CGEN to determine the basis for any amounts payable to CGEN under this Article 10 (Payments; Reports; Records; Audits).

(b) CGEN Financial Records. During the Term and for a period of [**] after expiration or termination of this Agreement, or such longer period as required by Applicable Laws and Regulations, CGEN shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to allow Gilead to determine the basis for the amounts payable to CGEN under this Agreement, including (i) Section 10.1 (Reimbursable Costs), (ii) Section 10.2 (Manufacturing Costs), including for the Manufacture of COM503 during the Clinical Supply Term, (iii) Section 10.3 ([**]), (iv) the Clinical Supply Agreement, or (v) Section 2.8(f)(iii) (Coordination and Costs).

10.9. Audit Rights. Upon the written request of a Party (“Requesting Party”) with reasonable advance notice and not more than [**] in each [**] (except for cause), the other Party (“Audited Party”) shall permit an Approved Auditor, at the Requesting Party’s own expense, to have access during normal business hours to such of the records as may be reasonably necessary to verify the relevant records required to be maintained by the Audited Party pursuant to Section 10.8 (Records) or that the correct amounts were paid by or to the Requesting Party under this Agreement as a result during any Calendar Year ending not more than [**] prior to the date of such request; provided, that records for a particular period may only be audited [**]. The Approved Auditor shall disclose to the Requesting Party only whether the reports are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to Requesting Party in connection with this audit right. This right to audit shall remain in effect during the Term and for a period of [**] after expiration or termination of this Agreement. If such Approved Auditor identifies a discrepancy with respect to amounts owed by the Audited Party to the Requesting Party under this Agreement, the Audited Party shall pay the Requesting Party the amount of such discrepancy within [**] after the date Requesting Party delivers to the Audited Party such Approved Auditor written report so concluding, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties in writing. The fees charged by such Approved Auditor shall be paid by Requesting Party unless the underpayment by the Audited Party exceeded [**] of the amount owed for such Calendar Year, in which case the Audited Party shall pay to Requesting Party the reasonable fees charged by such Approved Auditor.

10.10. Confidentiality. Each Party shall treat all information of the other Party subject to review under this Article 10 (Payments; Reports; Records; Audits) in accordance with the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Agreement, and shall cause its Approved Auditor to enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with the Audited Party and any applicable Related Parties, obligating it or them to retain all such information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

11. Confidentiality; Publication.

11.1. Nondisclosure Obligation.

(a) Definition and Restrictions. All Confidential Information disclosed by or on behalf of one Party or any of its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party or any of its Affiliates (the “Receiving Party”) at any time, including before the Effective Date (to the extent related to the subject matter of this Agreement, including pursuant to the Existing CDA), shall: (1) be maintained in confidence by the Receiving Party, using no less than the efforts that Receiving Party uses to maintain in confidence its own confidential or proprietary information of similar kind and value, but in any case no less than reasonable care, and (2) not be disclosed by the Receiving Party to any Third Party or used by the Receiving Party for any purpose except as set forth herein or in connection with the exercise of such Party’s rights and performance of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, in each case ((1) and (2)), during the Term and for a period of [**] thereafter. In addition, CGEN will keep confidential, and will cause its Affiliates and its and their employees, consultants, licensees, Permitted Subcontractors, and professional advisors to keep confidential under customary obligations of confidentiality consistent with standards in the industry, the Know-How comprising IL-18 IP and Jointly Owned Foreground IP, in each case to the extent specifically related to the IL-18 Molecules or IL-18 Products on confidentiality terms at least as protective as the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. The following shall not be Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement:

(c) Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 11.1(a) (Definition and Restrictions), the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party (including the existence and terms of this Agreement):

For any such disclosure that may be subject to a public disclosure law or regulation, such as the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or EU Clinical Trial Regulation, Gilead shall have the obligations as the publishing Party and CGEN shall have the rights as the reviewing Party according to the procedure set forth under Section 11.2 (Publication) for review of such disclosure; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Receiving Party shall remain responsible and liable to the Disclosing Party for any breach by any of its Representatives or Potential Partners; or

(iv) if a Party is required by a valid judicial or administrative order to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party that is subject to the non-disclosure provisions of this Section 11.1 (Nondisclosure Obligation), in which case, such Party shall provide prompt, and to the extent legally permissible, prior written notice to the other Party of the disclosure that is being sought in order to provide the other Party an opportunity to challenge or limit the disclosure obligations.

Gilead shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless CGEN, its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, employees and agents (individually and collectively, the “CGEN Indemnitee(s)”) from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) (individually and collectively, “Losses”) incurred in connection with any Third Party Claims to the extent arising from: (a) the Development, use, Manufacture, Commercialization, import, distribution, sale or other Exploitation of IL-18 Molecules or IL-18 Products, by or on behalf of Gilead or any of its Related Parties or their respective Representatives, including CGEN’s performance (i) of the Development Program (including the COM503 Phase 1 Trial) to the extent performed in accordance with the Development Plan and COM503 Phase 1 Trial Protocol and (ii) under the CGEN Development and Manufacturing Agreements at Gilead’s direction, (b) the negligence, illegal conduct or willful misconduct of Gilead or any of its Related Parties or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement, or (c) Gilead’s breach of Applicable Laws and Regulations, this Agreement, the Clinical Supply Agreement, or any other ancillary agreement hereto, except, in each case of (a)–(c), to the extent such Third Party Claims arise from any action for which CGEN has an indemnification obligation to a Gilead Indemnitee under Section 14.2 (By CGEN).

14.2. By CGEN. CGEN shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Gilead, its Affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, employees and agents (individually and collectively, the “Gilead Indemnitee(s)”) from and against all Losses incurred in connection with any Third Party Claims to the extent arising from: (a) any Exploitation of any IL-18 Molecule or IL-18 Product by or on behalf of CGEN or any of its Related Parties or their respective Representatives prior to the Effective Date or after the effective date of termination of this Agreement, (b) the negligence, illegal conduct or willful misconduct of or any of CGEN or its Related Parties or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement, (c) CGEN’s breach of Applicable Laws and Regulations, this Agreement (including, for clarity, any failure of CGEN to adhere to the COM503 Phase 1 Trial Protocol in its performance of the COM503 Phase 1 Trial), the Clinical Supply Agreement, or any other ancillary agreement hetero, or (d) any IL-18-Only Development and Manufacturing Agreement that is assigned to Gilead pursuant to Section 2.8(f)(ii) (CGEN Development and Manufacturing Agreements) as a result of, or in connection with, events or occurrences prior to the date of such assignment, except, in each case of (a)–(d), to the extent such Third Party Claims arise from any action for which Gilead has an indemnification obligation to a CGEN Indemnitee under Section 14.1 (By Gilead).

14.3. Indemnification Procedure. The Party that is seeking indemnification under Section 14.1 (By Gilead) or Section 14.2 (By CGEN) (the “Indemnified Party”) will inform the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Third Party Claim giving rise to such indemnification obligations promptly after receiving written notice of the Third Party Claim (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give such notice of a Third Party Claim will not affect the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay to give notice). The Indemnifying Party will have the right, at its option, to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [**] after receipt of the notice of the Third Party Claim. The assumption of defense of a Third Party Claim will not be construed as an acknowledgement that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor will it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. The Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party’s agents and representatives (including insurers) as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, and at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense. The Indemnified Party will have the right to participate, at its own expense and with counsel of its choice, in the defense of any Third Party Claim that has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, then (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith) and (b) the Indemnified Party reserves any rights it may have under this Article 14 (Indemnification) to obtain indemnification from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. If the Parties cannot agree as to the application of Section 14.1 (By Gilead) or Section 14.2 (By CGEN) as to any Third Party Claim, pending resolution of the Dispute pursuant to Article 16 (Dispute Resolution), then the Parties may conduct separate defenses of such Third Party Claims, with each Party retaining the right to claim indemnification from the other Party in accordance with Section 14.1 (By Gilead) or Section 14.2 (By CGEN), as applicable, upon resolution of the underlying Third Party Claim; provided, that the Parties will engage in good faith discussions regarding such Dispute before conducting separate defenses.

14.4. Settlement. The Indemnifying Party will not settle any Third Party Claim without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not be required to obtain such consent if the settlement: (a) involves only the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party and will not result in the Indemnified Party (or other CGEN Indemnitee(s) or Gilead Indemnitee(s), as applicable) being liable to any payment obligation or becoming subject to injunctive or other similar type of relief; (b) does not require an admission by the Indemnified Party (or other CGEN Indemnitee(s) or Gilead Indemnitee(s), as applicable); and (c) does not adversely affect the rights or licenses granted to the Indemnified Party (or its Affiliates) under this Agreement.

14.5. Insurance. Each Party will, at its own expense, procure and maintain during the Term and for a period of [**] thereafter (or such longer period required pursuant to Applicable Laws and Regulations, if any), insurance policies that are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated and are in accordance with Applicable Laws and Regulations. Such insurance policies shall include, with respect to Gilead, clinical trial liability insurance covering Clinical Trials for which Gilead is a sponsor and product liability insurance if and when applicable, and with respect to CGEN, clinical trial liability insurance covering Clinical Trials for which CGEN is a sponsor. Such insurance will not be construed to create a limit of a Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 14 (Indemnification). Each Party will provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance upon request from the other Party. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Gilead may self-insure, in whole or in part, the insurance requirements described above. All such insurance policies: (a) shall be primary and non-contributory to any of the other Party’s insurance policies; (b) include the other Party as an additional insured (i) with respect to Gilead, including CGEN for clinical trial liability insurance, for as long as CGEN is obligated to supply COM503 to Gilead under this Agreement or the Clinical Supply Agreement, and (ii) with respect to CGEN, including Gilead for clinical trial liability insurance, for as long as CGEN is the sponsor of and is conducting the COM503 Phase 1 Trial, and (iii) with respect to Gilead including CGEN for products liability insurance, during the Term of the Agreement; and (c) include [**] notice to the other Party of any cancellation or material reduction in coverage thereof.

14.6. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR LOST PROFITS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 14.6 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT (A) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER THIS ARTICLE 14 (INDEMNIFICATION), (B) DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR CGEN’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 3.6 (EXCLUSIVITY) OR (C) DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD OR FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS IN ARTICLE 11 (CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICATION).

15. Intellectual Property.

15.1. Ownership of Intellectual Property.

(a) Background IP. As between the Parties, each Party will retain ownership of all Patents, Know-How and other Intellectual Property Rights that are Controlled by such Party prior to the Effective Date or are otherwise developed by such Party outside of this Agreement (with respect to such Party, its “Background IP”).

(b) Foreground IP.

(i) Gilead PD-1/PD-L1 Foreground IP. As between CGEN and Gilead, Gilead shall own all Foreground IP that is related to any Gilead-Provided PD-1/PD-L1, including any Gilead-Provided PD-1/PD-L1 in combination with an IL-18 Molecule (such IP, the “Gilead PD-1/PD-L1 Foreground IP”). CGEN hereby assigns to Gilead all of CGEN’s right, title and interest in, to and under Gilead PD-1/PD-L1 Foreground IP. CGEN shall notify Gilead in writing promptly, but no later than [**] after, the conception or reduction to practice of any Gilead PD-1/PD-L1 Foreground IP.

(ii) Other Foreground IP. As between the Parties, all Foreground IP that is not Gilead PD-1/PD-L1 Foreground IP and is made, created, conceived of or reduced to practice (1) solely by a Party’s or any of its Affiliates’ employees, independent contractors or consultants, will be owned by such Party (“Solely Owned Foreground IP”), and (2) jointly by each Party’s (or any of its Affiliates’) employees, independent contractors or consultants, will be jointly owned by the Parties (such jointly developed Foreground IP, the “Jointly Owned Foreground IP”).

For purposes of this Section 15.2(a) (Prosecution), a “strategic reason” for which [**] desires to abandon or otherwise forfeit Patent Prosecution of a given Patent shall be the abandonment or forfeiture of such Patent on the basis that continued prosecution would have an adverse effect on the prosecution, validity or enforcement of another IL-18 Patent or Jointly Owned Foreground Patent. For clarity, “strategic reasons” shall not include the abandonment or forfeiting of a Patent for purely financial reasons (e.g., costs of Patent Prosecution therefor or decreasing the Royalty Term).

(b) Patent Invalidations. If either Party desires to undertake activities intended to invalidate a pending or issued Patent owned or controlled by a Third Party and having one or more claims that Cover an IL-18 Molecule or IL-18 Product or any method of use thereof (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement under Section 15.5 (Defense), in which case the provisions of Section 15.5 (Defense) will govern), such Party will so notify the other Party, and the Parties will promptly confer to determine whether to bring such action, the strategy to be employed in connection with any such action, or the manner in which to settle such action, provided, that the foregoing obligations do not apply to CGEN with respect to any Patent licensed or owned by CGEN pursuant to an Upstream License Agreement. [**] will have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring, at its own expense and in its sole control, any action with respect to invalidating pending or issued Third Party Patents in the Territory that Cover an IL-18 Molecule or IL-18 Product or any method of use thereof. If [**] decides not to bring any such action and such decision was not for strategic reasons, then [**] will notify [**] and [**] will have the right to bring, at its own expense and in its sole control, any action with respect to invalidating such pending or issued Third Party Patents.

Gilead and Compugen Announce Exclusive License Agreement for Novel Pre-

Clinical Immunotherapy Program

– Xxxxxx Xxxx Have Exclusive Rights to Later Stage Development and Commercialization of

Anti-IL18 Binding Protein Antibodies with Potential to Treat Various Tumor Types –

– Gilead to Make $60 Million Upfront Payment and $30 Million in a Near Term Milestone

Payment with a Total Deal Value of up to $848 Million –

FOSTER CITY, Calif. & HOLON, ISRAEL – December 19, 2023 – Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) today announced an agreement with Compugen Ltd. (Nasdaq: CGEN) (TASE: CGEN), a clinical-stage cancer immunotherapy company and a pioneer in computational target discovery, headquartered in Holon, Israel, to exclusively license its potential first-in-class, pre- clinical antibody program against IL-18 binding protein, including the COM503 drug candidate.

Compugen utilizes its broadly applicable predictive computational discovery capabilities to identify new drug targets and biological pathways for developing novel cancer immunotherapies. COM503 is a potential first-in-class, high affinity antibody which blocks the interaction between IL-18 binding protein and IL-18, thereby releasing natural IL-18 in the tumor microenvironment and inhibiting cancer growth.

“We are very pleased to add COM503 to our pipeline of investigational immuno-oncology therapies that have the potential to transform care for patients with cancer,” said Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, M.D., Executive Vice President, Research, Gilead Sciences. “We believe that this collaboration complements our strategy of developing modalities which promote immune-mediated tumor killing and may enable new combination therapies with programs in our growing oncology portfolio.”

“We are delighted to enter into this collaboration with Gilead and believe that Xxxxxx’s confidence in our differentiated approach to harness cytokine biology for cancer therapeutics speaks to the quality of our computational discovery capabilities as well as our ability to translate our novel discoveries into investigational drugs in the clinic and we look forward to working together to bring new treatment options to patients,” said Xxxx Xxxxx-Xxxxx, Ph.D., President, and CEO at Compugen. “IL-18 is one of the rare cytokines which is naturally inhibited by an endogenous binding protein, presenting a unique opportunity to use a blocking antibody to increase the local concentrations of IL-18 within the tumor where it can potentiate anti-tumor immune responses, thereby potentially overcoming the limitations of systemically administered cytokines.”

Terms of the Partnership

Under the terms of the agreement, Compugen will be responsible for the ongoing pre-clinical development and the future Phase 1 study of COM503. Thereafter, Gilead will have the sole right to develop and commercialize COM503.

Gilead will make Compugen an upfront payment of $60 million and $30 million in a near term milestone payment subject to IND clearance of COM503 expected in 2024. Compugen will also be eligible to receive up to an additional $758 million in future development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, with a total deal value of $848 million. Compugen will also be eligible to receive single-digit to low double-digit tiered royalties on worldwide net sales.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, consistent with recent industry communications from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gilead no longer excludes acquired IPR&D expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures. This transaction with Compugen is expected to reduce Gilead’s GAAP and non-GAAP 2023 EPS by approximately $0.03 - $0.05.

About Compugen

Compugen is a clinical-stage therapeutic discovery and development company utilizing its broadly applicable predictive computational discovery capabilities to identify new drug targets and biological pathways for developing cancer immunotherapies. Compugen has developed two proprietary product candidates: COM701, a potential first-in-class anti-PVRIG antibody and COM902, a potential best-in-class antibody targeting TIGIT for the treatment of solid tumors. Compugen also has a clinical stage partnered program, rilvegostomig (previously AZD2936), a PD-1/TIGIT bispecific antibody where the TIGIT component is derived from Compugen’s clinical stage anti-TIGIT antibody, COM902, in Phase 3 development by AstraZeneca through a license agreement for the development of bispecific and multispecific antibodies. In addition, the Company’s therapeutic pipeline of early-stage immuno-oncology programs consists of programs aiming to address various mechanisms of immune resistance, of which the most advanced program, COM503, is in IND enabling studies. COM503 is a potential first-in-class, high affinity antibody which blocks the interaction between IL-18 binding protein and IL-18, thereby freeing natural IL-18 in the tumor microenvironment to inhibit cancer growth. Compugen is headquartered in Israel, with offices in San Francisco, CA. Compugen’s shares are listed on Nasdaq and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CGEN.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statement regarding our expectation from the collaboration, statement regarding our belief that using a blocking antibody to increase the local concentrations of IL-18 within the tumor where, can potentiate anti-tumor immune responses, thereby potentially overcoming the limitations of systemically administered cytokines and statement regarding the expected time for IND clearance of COM503. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Compugen to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Among these risks: the clinical trials of any product candidates that Compugen, or any current or future collaborators, may develop may fail to satisfactorily demonstrate safety and efficacy to the FDA, and Compugen, or any collaborators, may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of these product candidates; Compugen’s business model is substantially dependent on entering into collaboration agreements with third parties and Compugen may not be successful in generating adequate revenues or commercializing aspects of its business model; Compugen’s approach to the discovery of therapeutic products is based on its proprietary computational target discovery infrastructure, which is unproven clinically; general market, political and economic conditions in the countries in which Compugen operates, including Israel; the effect of the evolving nature of the recent war in Gaza; and Compugen does not know whether it will be able to discover and develop additional potential product candidates or products of commercial value.
