2.5 Intentionally Omitted.

2.6 Escrow Account.

(a) Baxter will deposit in a joint BHC/Cerus escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to an Escrow Agreement to be entered into substantially in the form of Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”):

i. [ * ] Dollars ($[ * ]) on or before the [ * ] day following [ * ];

ii. [ * ] Dollars ($[ * ]) on or before [ * ]; Baxter represents that this amount equals the difference between (x) [ * ] Dollars ($[ * ]) and (y) [ * ] by Baxter in the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2004 on marketing and promotional activities for the INTERCEPT Blood System, pursuant to the plan outlined and agreed upon by the Governance Committee, not including Baxter FTE and fringe benefit expenses; and

iii. [ * ] Dollars ($[ * ]) on or before [ * ].

(b) The Governance Committee will meet periodically (not less frequently than quarterly) to review and approve expenditures that have been made for marketing/promotional activities to assure consistency with the previously-approved budget and plan. Upon such approval, duly authorized signatures of Cerus and BHC will jointly sign instructions to the escrow agent to release funds to the Party (BHC, BHSA or Cerus) that incurred the expenditures. With respect to expenditures pursuant to Section 2.8, a duly authorized signatory of Cerus may solely sign instructions to the escrow agent to release funds to BHC for qualifying expenditures under Section 2.8.

2.7 2005–2006 Commitment; Release From Escrow For Marketing/Promotional Activities.

For the avoidance of doubt, these funds will be over and above, and will not be used to fund, Baxter FTE expenses committed in Section 2.1 hereof; provided, however, they may fund expenses of consultants and of additional employees (beyond the FTEs committed pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof) dedicated full-time to sales and marketing of INTERCEPT, if engagement of such resources is approved by the Governance Committee. Approval of marketing and promotional expenditures will be governed by the terms of the Platelet Agreement and the Plasma Agreement, which provide for final plans and strategies to be established by the Management Board (now the Governance Committee) reasonably and in good faith. Baxter and Cerus each agrees that the objective is to expend the full amount of these funds in each respective calendar year, and neither will unreasonably withhold its consent to such expenditures.

2.8 Release From Escrow For Plasma Development. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cerus may, in its sole discretion, direct that an amount not exceeding Two Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,200,000) be released from the Escrow Account to reimburse Baxter for activities that Baxter may undertake at Cerus’ request to continue development activities for the Plasma System directed toward CE Xxxx approval in the European Territory, and related manufacturing and validation, thereby releasing Cerus of the obligation for such payment from Cerus’ own funds. Not more than (a) [ * ] Dollars ($[ * ]) of such funds will be released in 2005 (to reimburse Baxter for activities in [ * ]), and not more than (b) [ * ] Dollars ($[ * ]) of such funds will be released in [ * ] (to reimburse Baxter for activities in [ * ]). Such release of funds will reduce the amount of the funds in the Escrow Account that would otherwise be dedicated to marketing/promotional expenses for the Plasma System, which the Parties agree is [ * ] Dollars ($[ * ]) for [ * ], combined, before such reductions.

2.9 Distribution, Payment of Unused Funds. Subject to Section 2.7, in the event the Governance Committee does not approve expenditure of the full amount of the escrowed funds allocated to [ * ] in that calendar year, or does not approve expenditure of the full amount of funds committed pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof in any year of the Extension Period, or if for any reason there are any such escrowed or committed amounts remaining unspent at the end of any such calendar year, the amount of unspent funds in the escrow account will be distributed equally to Baxter and Cerus within [ * ] days following the end of the calendar year. With respect to any amounts committed pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 for any Extension Period (if funds representing such amounts are not in the Escrow Account) one-half of the amounts so committed, but unspent, in any calendar year, will be paid by Baxter to Cerus within [ * ] days following the end of the calendar year.

2.10 Marketing Plans and Activities. For 2005, 2006 and of each year of the Extension Period, the joint Baxter/Cerus INTERCEPT marketing team will prepare and present to the Governance Committee a detailed marketing plan and budget for that calendar year for the Platelet System and Plasma System in the countries in the European Territory where Baxter retains Commercialization Rights. The Governance Committee will approve such marketing plan and budget not later than [ * ] and [ * ] respectively of each respective year, and will also by [ * ] agree on a retention plan for dedicated INTERCEPT marketing personnel in the European Territory for 2005 and 2006 and each year of any Extension Period. The Governance Committee must approve any subsequent changes to such plan or budget. Neither Baxter nor Cerus will unreasonably withhold its approval of such plan or budget or subsequent revisions thereto. Cerus will not unilaterally make any commitments to any customers that any studies will be funded by Baxter (including funding through the Escrow Account) relative to such customers. In the event that Cerus does unilaterally make any such commitment, Cerus shall bear the expense of such study.

(b) In consideration of such election, Cerus shall pay to Xxxxxx an amount (the “ROW Country Buy-Out Price”) computed as follows: The ROW Country Buy-Out Price for a particular country shall be equal to (i) [ * ] times Xxxxxx’x Adjusted Gross Margin on sales of the Platelet System, and (ii) [ * ] times Xxxxxx’x Adjusted Gross Margin on sales of the Plasma System; in such country for the [ * ] months preceding [ * ] of the calendar year of Cerus’ election notice; provided, however, that the ROW Country Buy-Out price for any country will be not less than the amount of Xxxxxx’x expenditures (not including FTE costs except for employees dedicated full-time to commercial activities concerning the Platelet System and the Plasma System in such country) on commercial activities dedicated to the Platelet System and the Plasma System in that country during the [ * ] months preceding such [ * ] date.

8.3 Adjusted Gross Margin. As used in this Section 8, Xxxxxx’x Adjusted Gross Margin means Xxxxxx’x xxxxx sales revenues, less product return credits and pricing adjustments, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied (GAAP) and in accordance with Xxxxxx’x normal accounting policies consistently applied, minus Revenue Sharing Payments (as defined in the Platelet Agreement and the RBC/FFP Agreement) paid or payable to Cerus in respect of such sales revenues and minus Xxxxxx’x Cost of Goods (as defined in such agreements and amended by this Agreement).

8.4 Buy-Out Process. Xxxxxx shall notify Cerus in writing of the amount of Adjusted Gross Margin pertinent to computing the European Territory Buy-Out Price or the ROW Country Buy-Out Price, as the case may be, and furnish Cerus with the information supporting such calculation, as promptly as such information becomes available to Xxxxxx, following the relevant [ * ] date. Cerus shall notify Xxxxxx within [ * ] days following receipt of such notice whether Cerus accepts such amount or disputes such amount. If Cerus disputes such amount, Xxxxxx and Cerus will follow the dispute resolution procedure provided in Section 15.12(c) hereof to determine the amount. Any dispute concerning the Adjusted Gross Margin amount will not affect or delay the termination of the respective Commercialization Rights, nor the obligation of Cerus to pay the respective Buy-Out Price, once such amount is finally determined.

8.5 Payment Date. The European Territory Buy-Out Price or ROW Country Buy-Out Price will be paid not later than the third business day of the calendar year in which the termination of Xxxxxx’x Commercialization Rights becomes effective pursuant to the European Territory Buy-Out or the ROW Country Buy-Out, as the case may be.

however to Section 9.3 below. In addition, during any Extension Period, in computing Premium with respect to Plasma Systems, Xxxxxx’x Marketing and Administrative Expenses for any calendar year shall be limited to twelve percent (12%) of Xxxxxx’x Net Sales for such calendar year (as the terms “Premium,” “Marketing and Administrative Expenses” and “Net Sales” are defined in the RBC/FFP Agreement).

9.2 Standard Cost Calculations. Xxxxxx’x calculation of the standard cost of goods for the European Platelet System and estimated cost of goods for the Plasma System for 2005 are set forth on Exhibits C and D to the Manufacturing Agreement. The standard cost of goods for subsequent calendar years will vary depending on (a) volume of manufactured products; (b) changes to the product specification; (c) unanticipated supplier costs; and (d) inflation or deflation. Cost adjustments will be made to reflect the effect of these variables, provided that (x) adjustments due to volume are as described in Exhibit D; (y) supplier cost increases are included only if such increase is greater than inflation, as measured by the year-to-year change in the annual average CPI-U index; and (z) only changes in inflation or deflation resulting in a [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) or greater change will be reflected in an adjustment to the cost of goods. Xxxxxx represents that the calculation for 2005 has been made, and covenants that future calculations of Xxxxxx’x standard cost of goods will be made, in accordance with GAAP and Xxxxxx’x normal accounting practices, all consistently applied, with any estimates used in making such calculation being made reasonably and in good faith. The standard cost will be based upon the local currency in the country in which the Manufactured Product is manufactured.

9.3 Adjustments to Standard Cost.

(a) For the purposes of this Section the capitalized terms “Revenue Sharing Payments,” “Premium,” “Cost of Goods” and “Inactivation Package” have the definitions set forth in the Platelet Agreement and the RBC/FFP Agreement, respectively. In addition, the terms “Platelet Sets” and “Plasma Sets,” as used herein, are intended to be synonymous with “Inactivation Package,” as used in the Platelet Agreement and the RBC/FFP Agreement, respectively. This Section 9.3 is made against the background that the Revenue Sharing Payments due to Cerus under the Platelet Agreement and the RBC/FFP Agreement are based on Premium, which is computed in part based on Xxxxxx’x Cost of Goods. Xxxxxx has informed Cerus that, in computing Premium, Xxxxxx has used, and intends to use, its standard cost of goods, calculated consistent with Section 9.2, rather than its actual Cost of Goods. The parties hereby ratify such practice and agree that, subject to Sections 9.3(b), (c) and (d) below, Xxxxxx’x Cost of Goods, as such term is used in the Platelet Agreement and the RBC/FFP Agreement shall refer to Xxxxxx’x standard cost of goods.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for computing Premium on sales of Platelet Systems in calendar years [ * ] only, the Parties agree that, promptly following each such calendar year, Xxxxxx will determine the actual Cost of Goods (without regard to the modification effected by Section 9.3(a)) for such products for such year and prepare a calculation of Premium on that basis.

(i) In the event that such calculation results in a greater Revenue Sharing Payment to Cerus for such calendar year than that derived using Xxxxxx’x standard cost of goods, Xxxxxx will make an additional payment to Cerus in the amount of the difference between such greater Revenue Sharing Payment amount and the Revenue Sharing Payment previously paid or payable to Cerus with respect to such calendar year; provided that such additional payment shall not exceed [ * ] Dollars ($[ * ]) per Inactivation Package. Xxxxxx will not be required, however, to make any payment that would cause Cerus’ Revenue Sharing per Inactivation Package to be greater than the maximum amount indicated in the last sentence of Section 7.2, as amended, of the Platelet Agreement.

(ii) In the event that such calculation results in a lesser Revenue Sharing Payment to Cerus for such calendar year than that derived using Xxxxxx’x standard cost of goods, Cerus will refund to Xxxxxx the difference between the Revenue Sharing Payment previously paid or payable to Cerus with respect to such calendar year and such lesser Revenue Sharing Payment amount; provided that such payment shall not exceed [ * ] ($[ * ]) per Inactivation Package. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cerus will not be required, however, to make any payment that would cause Cerus’ Revenue Sharing per Inactivation Package to be less than the minimum amount indicated in the last sentence of Section 7.2, as amended, of the Platelet Agreement.

(c) Also notwithstanding the foregoing, for computing Premium on sales of Platelet Systems and Plasma Systems in calendar years subsequent to [ * ]. The following shall apply:

(i) With respect to Platelet Sets, the Cost of Goods will exclude that portion of Overhead per Platelet Set exceeding [ * ]Dollars and [ * ] Cents ($[ * ]) per unit; provided that the aggregate number of Platelet Sets shipped by Xxxxxx in any calendar year exceeds [ * ], inclusive of shipments to Cerus and shipments by Xxxxxx to its customers or other collaborators, such as BioOne. With respect to Plasma Sets, the Cost of Goods will exclude that portion of Overhead per Plasma Set exceeding [ * ] Dollars and [ * ] Cents ($[ * ]) per unit; provided that the aggregate number of Plasma Sets shipped by Xxxxxx in any calendar year exceeds [ * ], inclusive of shipments to Cerus and shipments by Xxxxxx to its customers or other collaborators, such as BioOne.

(ii) If shipments are for fewer than [ * ] Platelet Sets in any calendar year, aggregate Overhead applied over all Platelet Sets shipped in such calendar year, inclusive of all shipments described in clause (i) above, shall not exceed [ * ] Dollars ($[ * ]). If shipments are for fewer than 40,000 Plasma Sets in any calendar year, aggregate Overhead applied over all Plasma Sets shipped in such calendar year, inclusive of all shipments described in clause (i) above, shall not exceed [ * ] Dollars ($[ * ]).

(iii) As used in this Section 9.3(c) definition: “Overhead” means total overhead, depreciation and amortization; “Direct Cost” means the direct cost of labor and materials computed before Overhead. For the purpose of determining Overhead per Platelet Set or Plasma Set (collectively “Sets”), the parties will project at the commencement of each calendar year whether the number of such Sets expected to be shipped in such calendar exceeds [ * ] and will apply clause (a) or (b) above according to such projection. If the parties projected that fewer than [ * ] units would be shipped, a reconciliation will be made promptly following the end of such calendar year. If the parties projected that more than [ * ] units would be shipped, a reconciliation will be made promptly following the end of such calendar year if fewer units were shipped.

(d) For the purpose of clarity, the Parties preserve the Platelet Agreement provisions to the effect that, in computing Premium, Xxxxxx is entitled to deduct that portion of its Cost of Goods that exceeds $[ * ] and Cerus is entitled to receive that portion of its Cost of Goods that exceeds $[ * ] (as per the definitions of “Additional Cost of Goods,” “Anticipated Cost of Goods,” and “Premium” in Section 2 of the Platelet Agreement).

(e) For the purpose of consistency, Xxxxxx confirms that its standard cost of goods does not and will not include any of the items that were expressly excluded from “Cost of Goods”, as previously defined, in the Platelet Agreement and the RBC/FFP Agreement.

9.4 Under License Agreement for Reverted Right Regions. Cerus will pay Xxxxxx a royalty as set forth in the License Agreement with respect to the sale of Platelet Systems, Plasma Systems and certain related products in the Reverted Rights Regions.

9.5 Under BioOne Agreements. Xxxxxx and Cerus will share revenues arising from the agreements previously entered into with BioOne concerning the Platelet System as provided in such agreements. If Xxxxxx and Cerus enter into similar agreements with BioOne or other party with respect to the Plasma System, as contemplated in Section 3.2(c) hereof, (a) any royalties arising from such agreement will be allocated and paid as follows: [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) to Cerus and [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) to Xxxxxx, and (b) any up-front payments, milestone payments and license payments arising from such agreement will be allocated and paid [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) to Cerus, except that Xxxxxx would be entitled to receive from Cerus Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) of the Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) milestone payment that would be expected by Cerus from BioOne or another Japan partner on European CE xxxx approval. However, the BioOne milestone payment to Cerus for CE Xxxx approval will be reduced by half if CE Xxxx filing does not occur within [ * ] months following December 28, 2004. Accordingly, Cerus’ payment to Xxxxxx will be reduced to $[ * ] if the CE Xxxx filing occurs after such date. If the definitive agreements with BioOne concerning the Plasma System terminate prior to CE Xxxx approval (or upon a default by BioOne in making its milestone payment referred to above), and such milestone payment is not replaced with a similar milestone payment to Cerus, in the amount of at least [ * ]

Dollars ($[ * ]), under an agreement with another Japan partner, Cerus will not be obligated to make the payment to Xxxxxx as stated above. If Cerus does not make such payment, upon reversion of rights to Xxxxxx and Cerus from BioOne, the rights and obligations of Cerus and Xxxxxx concerning the Plasma System in the countries of the BioOne Territory will revert to the terms of the RBC/FFP Agreement.

9.6 Arising from Third-Party Arrangements.

(a) If, during the period that Xxxxxx retains Commercialization Rights for the Platelet System in any country, the Parties enter into an arrangement with a third party for commercialization of the such System in such country, any up-front payments, milestone payments, license payments and royalties arising from such agreement relative to the Platelet System will be allocated and paid as follows: [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) to Cerus and [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) to Xxxxxx; and

(b) If, during the period that Xxxxxx retains Commercialization Rights for the Plasma System in any country, the Parties enter into an arrangement with a third party for commercialization of the such System in such country, (i) any royalties arising from such agreement relative to the Plasma System will be allocated and paid as follows: [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) to Cerus and [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) to Xxxxxx, and (ii) any up-front payments, milestone payments and license payments arising from such agreement relative to the Plasma System will be allocated and paid [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) to Cerus.

For the sake of clarity, if such an agreement with respect to any country is entered into as to the Platelet System or Plasma System after termination of Xxxxxx’x Commercialization Rights for such System in such country, Xxxxxx will not be entitled to the payments as provided above, but will instead be entitled to receive royalties arising from such agreement as provided in Article 5 of the License Agreement.

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

(ii) During each [ * ] month period following the date of such regulatory approval in such country, (the “Commencement Date”):

(A) A royalty of [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of Net Sales of Intersol Products up to (but not exceeding) [ * ] of Intersol Products sold in such country during the [ * ] month period immediately preceding the Commencement Date (the “Base Volume”); and

(B) [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of the Integration Premium on sales of Intercept Products exceeding the Base Volume. In any country where the Platelet System receives regulatory approval prior to Intersol Product stand-alone approval, there is [ * ].

(c) In the event that Xxxxxx enters into any new license, supply or other commercialization arrangement with a third Person relating to use of Intersol in connection with the Platelet System, Cerus shall be entitled to receive [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) of any up-front payments, milestone payments, license payments and royalties arising from such agreement. It is understood that any such agreement by Xxxxxx is subject to Cerus’ prior written consent.

11. EFFECT ON PLATELET AGREEMENT AND RBC/FFP AGREEMENT.

11.1 Incorporation By Reference. Any provision of this Agreement modifying the obligations of the Parties under the Platelet Agreement or the RBC/FFP Agreement shall be considered to be incorporated in each such agreement, respectively. The Parties may elect to restate those agreements to reflect such modifications, but the effectiveness of such modifications is immediate, and not contingent on restating those agreements. Except as modified by this Agreement or the Concurrent Agreements and the Escrow Agreement, the Platelet Agreement and RBC/FFP Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

11.2 Other Changes.

(a) The term “Management Board” as used in the Platelet Agreement and the RBC/FFP Agreement is replaced by the term “Governance Committee.”

(b) Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the RBC/FFP Agreement are amended to provide that Xxxxxx, rather than Cerus, will have the responsibility for production of the compound removal/adsorption device(s) for removing residual compounds and by-products following the pathogen inactivation process in the Plasma System (referred to in such agreement as “S59 removal devices” and also commonly referred to by the Parties as the “CADs” for the Plasma System). It is understood that Xxxxxx presently has production capacity for approximately [ * ] of such units per year ([ * ]). If Cerus requires additional production, Cerus will be responsible for the purchase of an additional tool or tools.

(c) This Agreement supersedes any provisions of the Platelet Agreement or the RBC/FFP Agreement permitting Cerus to terminate Xxxxxx’x Commercialization Rights, or the exclusivity of Xxxxxx’x marketing rights, as a consequence of a failure by Xxxxxx, during 2005, 2006 or any Extension Period, if applicable, to meet market share objectives set forth in such agreements. Cerus, however, retains its rights to effect a termination of Commercialization Rights under either such agreement, as a whole or as to individual countries, in the case of breach by Xxxxxx of the respective agreement, or pursuant to Section 12.1 of this Agreement (without limiting other rights or remedies). In such event, without limiting any other rights and remedies of Cerus, all countries affected by such termination shall automatically be included in the Reverted Rights Region, and (a) Cerus shall, as to the affected countries, be entitled to the rights provided under this Agreement and the Concurrent Agreements, subject to its obligations thereunder, and (b) the provisions of the Platelet Agreement and RBC/FFP Agreement for sharing of revenues upon sales by Cerus, or sublicensing by Cerus, are deemed to be superseded (in the countries so affected) by the provisions of this Agreement and the Concurrent Agreements.

12. TERMINATION.

12.1 Termination Events. In addition to the provisions in the Platelet Agreement and the RBC/FFP Agreement permitting termination thereof, in the event Xxxxxx fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, and such failure is not cured within [ * ] days after written notice from Cerus to BHC, Cerus may terminate the Platelet Agreement and/or the RBC/FFP Agreement, without terminating any other rights or remedies.

12.2 Extension of Platelet Agreement. The term of the Platelet Agreement, as stated in Section 15 of the Platelet Agreement, is extended until the date on which all Commercialization Rights of Xxxxxx as to the Platelet System are terminated in all countries.

12.3 Surviving Agreements; Provisions.

(a) Upon termination of the Platelet Agreement or the RBC/FFP Agreement, the following shall remain in effect:

(i) This Agreement, the Concurrent Agreements and the Escrow Agreement, except to the extent any of such agreements have expired by their terms, or been earlier terminated;

(ii) Any provisions of the Platelet Agreement or the RBC/FFP Agreement, which pursuant to the express terms of such agreement, survive its termination.

(b) Upon termination of this Agreement, the following shall remain in effect: Sections 2.9, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13(d) through (g), 3.1(b), 3.2(a), 3.2(c), 3.2(d), 3.3, 4, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.

12.4 Xxxxxx Termination Right. In the event that Cerus fails to comply with its obligations under Section 3.2(b) hereof concerning funding of activities in 2005 directed toward application for CE Xxxx, and such failure is not cured within [ * ] days after written notice from BHC to Cerus, Xxxxxx may terminate its obligations pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof relating to CE Xxxx activities and shall be entitled to receive payment for any such activities completed by Xxxxxx up to the date of termination. In addition, upon such event, Xxxxxx may require Cerus to reimburse Xxxxxx the amount of Xxxxxx’x then depreciated cost of certain equipment that has been acquired by Xxxxxx for the dedicated purpose of producing Plasma Sets and that is not useable by Xxxxxx for other purposes. Xxxxxx represents that the depreciated cost of such equipment as of the date of this Agreement is [ * ] Dollars ($[ * ]). Unless Cerus notifies Xxxxxx that Cerus

If Cerus elects to purchase the equipment, title will pass to Cerus upon payment by Cerus to Xxxxxx of such full depreciated cost.

13. REPORTS AND PAYMENTS.

13.1 Reports. Within [ * ] days after the end of each calendar quarter, Xxxxxx agrees to make written reports to Cerus identifying Xxxxxx’x actual Intersol Product and Bulk Intersol sales and Integration Premium, royalties and other payments from sales of Intersol Products and Bulk Intersol Premium during such month and the amount of payments (“Intersol Sharing”) due to Cerus.

13.2 Payment of Royalties. Within [ * ] days after calendar quarter end, Xxxxxx shall pay to Cerus the Intersol Sharing due for the Intersol in U.S. dollars.

13.3 Currency. All payments due hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Pricing for the Intersol Products will be presented in local currency and converted into U.S. dollars during the Intersol sharing period being reported subject to Section 9.7 hereof. The conversion rate to U.S. dollars for Intersol Sharing Payments shall be the average conversion rate over all days of the Intersol Sharing period reported, as quoted in the Wall Street Journal. The conversion rate to U.S. dollars applicable to expenditures as to the European Territory pursuant to Sections 2.1 through 2.9 shall be made at Xxxxxx’x internal rate used by Xxxxxx generally for international currency exchange accounting.

13.4 Late Payment. Failure by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx’x Affiliates or sublicensees to pay any undisputed amounts when due shall result in the accrual of interest on the remaining unpaid balance at a rate equal to the lesser of [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by law.

13.5 Withholding Taxes. Where required to do so by applicable law, Xxxxxx shall withhold taxes required to be paid to a taxing authority on account of any Intersol Sharing payments to Cerus hereunder, and Xxxxxx shall furnish Cerus with satisfactory evidence of such withholding and payment in order to permit Cerus to obtain a tax credit or other relief as may be available under the applicable law. Xxxxxx shall be responsible for penalties and interest accessed for late payment or failure to withhold.

13.6 Audit. For a period of [ * ] years (the “Audit Period”) after sales of any Intersol Products by Xxxxxx in the Territory, Xxxxxx will keep records of all such sales and Integration Premium of Intersol Product in sufficient detail to enable the Intersol Sharing payable hereunder to be determined. For a period of [ * ] years after any activities pursuant to Section 2 hereof, Xxxxxx will keep records of its expenditures that are charged against the Escrow Account or against Xxxxxx’x funding commitments pursuant to Sections 2.1 through 2.13, and of its FTEs (including dedicated and allocated FTEs) committed to such activities for the Platelet System and the Plasma System, respectively.

For a period of [ * ] years after any determination of Adjusted Gross Margin pursuant to Section 8.3, Xxxxxx will keep records in sufficient detail to enable such amount to be determined. Notice by Cerus, pursuant to Section 8.3, accepting Xxxxxx’x determination of Adjusted Gross Margin does not preclude Cerus from later obtaining an adjustment of the European Buy-Out Price or ROW Country Buy-Out Price, if the Xxxxxx’x determination of Adjusted Gross Margin subsequently proves to have been inaccurate. From time to time during such Audit Period, Cerus may at its own expense cause an independent third party auditor reasonably acceptable to Xxxxxx to audit Xxxxxx’x relevant books and records for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement.

In the event that an audit is proposed with respect to Xxxxxx’x proprietary information (“Restricted Information”), then on the written demand of Xxxxxx the individuals conducting the audit with respect to the Restricted Information will be limited to Cerus’ independent auditors. Such independent auditors shall enter into an agreement with Xxxxxx, under which such independent auditors shall agree to maintain the confidentiality of the information obtained during the course of such audit and establishing what information such auditors will be permitted to disclose in reporting the results of any audit of Restricted Information.

Any such audit shall be conducted during regular business hours in a manner that does not interfere unreasonably with the operations of Xxxxxx. The aggregate number of audits of Xxxxxx’x books and records conducted under this Section 13.6 shall not exceed, in any [ * ] month period, one (1) financial audit, relating to sales of Intersol Products, one (1) financial audit relating to activities pursuant to Section 2, in addition to audit of any determination of Adjusted Gross Margin pursuant to Section 8.3. Subject to the foregoing limitations, any such audit shall be conducted when requested by notice given not less than [ * ] days prior to the commencement of the audit.

Any overpayment or underpayment determined by this Section 13.6 shall be due and payable to the other party by the party owing such amount within [ * ] days after notice of such audit finding. In the event that any audit performed hereunder results in an increase of [ * ] percent ([ * ]%) or more in any payment due Cerus hereunder, Xxxxxx shall be obligated to pay any reasonable expenses incurred by Cerus with respect to such audit.

14. INDEMNIFICATION. Section 17.7 of the RBC/FFP Agreement “Xxxxxx Indemnification — Products” shall be considered to be incorporated by reference in the Platelet Agreement.

15.2 Assignment and Delegation.

(a) No Assignments Except as Permitted. No Party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement other than assignments to a Permitted Assignee, except with the prior written consent of the other Party.

All other assignments of rights are prohibited under this subsection, whether they are voluntary or involuntary, by merger, consolidation, dissolution, operation of law, or any other manner. For purposes of this Section, (i) a “change of control” is deemed an assignment of rights; and (ii) “merger” refers to any merger in which a Party participates, regardless of whether it is the surviving or disappearing corporation.

(b) No Delegations. No Party may delegate any performance under this Agreement.

(c) Ramifications of Purported Assignment or Delegation. Any purported assignment of rights or delegation of performance in violation of this Section is void.

15.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement inures to the benefit of, and is binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Parties hereto.

15.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Concurrent Agreements contain the entire understanding of the Parties with regard to the subject matter contained herein and thereon, and supersede all prior agreements or understandings between Cerus and Xxxxxx with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Restructuring Agreement and the Concurrent Agreements. This Agreement will not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of the Parties.

15.5 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be deemed in default if delayed or prevented from performing its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, due to an act of God, fire, flood, explosion, civil disorder, strike, lockout or other labor trouble, material shortages of utilities, equipment, materials or facilities, delay in transportation, breakdown or accident, riot, war, terrorist attack or other cause beyond its control (a “Force Majeure Event”); provided that it shall resume full performance of this Agreement as soon as practicable following the conclusion of the Force Majeure Event.

15.6 Interpretation; No Strict Construction. Article titles and headings to Sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

15.7 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be effected, impaired or invalidated, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such provision will be restricted in applicability or reformed to the minimum extent required for such provision to be enforceable.

15.8 No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement will not confer any rights or remedies on any person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

15.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by facsimile), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other parties.

15.10 Notices. Wherever under this Agreement one Party is required or permitted to give written notice to the other, such notice will be deemed given if made in accordance with the terms of the License Agreement.

15.11 Nonwaiver. No alleged waiver, modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective against either Party hereto, unless in writing, signed by the Party against which such waiver, modification or amendment is asserted, and referring specifically to the provision hereof alleged to be waived, modified or amended. The failure or delay of either Party to insist upon the other Party’s strict performance of the provisions in this Agreement or to exercise in any respect any right, power, privilege, or remedy provided for under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver or relinquishment thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege, or remedy; provided, however, that the obligations and duties of either Party with respect to the performance of any term or condition in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

(a) Any dispute relating to the provisions of this Agreement that concern solely the Loan Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and otherwise in accordance with legal process.

(except disputes of the nature described in Section 15.12(c) below) will be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plasma Agreement, including Governance Committee processes and other processes for dispute resolution (whether the dispute relates to the Platelet System or the Plasma System). For the sake of consistency, any disputes arising under the Platelet Agreement will also henceforth be resolved by the processes for dispute resolution set forth in the Plasma Agreement, including Governance Committee and other processes.

(c) Any disputes (i) as to whether Baxter retains Commercialization Rights or (ii) relating to the rights and obligations of Cerus and Baxter concerning, or arising out of Cerus’ Commercialization Rights, after Cerus gains such rights, or (iii) relating to the European Territory Buy-Out Rights or the ROW Country Buy-Out Rights; shall be resolved in accordance with this Subsection (c). Cerus and Baxter will attempt to settle any claim or controversy through good faith negotiations and in the spirit of mutual cooperation. Any issues that cannot be resolved will be referred to a senior management representative from each of the Parties who has the authority to resolve the dispute. In the event such senior management representatives cannot resolve the dispute, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration for resolution. Any such proceedings shall be conducted at the place of the principal office of the respondent in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Any such dispute or controversy shall be arbitrated before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the rules of the AAA. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties. The parties shall be entitled to full discovery in any such arbitration. Each party shall bear one half of the cost of such arbitration, unless the arbitrator otherwise allocates such costs. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any disputes arising under any Concurrent Agreement containing an explicit dispute resolution process will be resolved in accordance with that process.

(e) Nothing in this Section will prevent either Party from resorting to judicial process if injunctive relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to one Party or to others.

15.13 Joint and Several Liability. BHSA and BHC’s obligations and liability under this Agreement shall be joint and several, including without limitation, with respect to each such party’s indemnification obligations under Section 14.

15.14 Availability of Injunction. Baxter and Cerus agree that any breach, or threatened breach, of this Agreement by one Party could cause irreparable damage to the other Party. The Parties agree that, in the event of such breach, or threatened breach, the Parties shall have, in addition to any and all remedies of law, the right to an injunction, specific performance as well as all other equitable relief to prevent the violation of any obligations hereunder without the necessity of any proof of actual damages or the posting

protected in acting upon any court order, reasonable advice of counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent, or document executed by BHC and/or Cerus authorizing action (or inaction) in accordance with these instructions by the Escrow Agent (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is reasonably believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person(s). The Escrow Agent shall not be held liable for any error in judgment made in good faith by an officer of the Escrow Agent unless it shall be proved that the Escrow Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts or acted intentionally in bad faith. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice of demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto. The Escrow Agent may execute ministerial and record keeping responsibilities hereunder through its authorized agents.

BHC and Cerus agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it harmless from and against, any loss, liability, claims, actions, damages or expenses (including reasonable expenses and disbursements of its counsel) incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with its entering into this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any such claim or liability.

Prior to the effectiveness of such resignation, BHC and Cerus shall appoint a new Escrow Agent, which shall be a bank or national banking association. The resignation of Escrow Agent will take effect on the earlier of (a) the appointment of a successor (including a court of competent jurisdiction) and (b) the day, which is 30 days after the date of delivery of its written notice of resignation to the other parties hereto. If at that time Escrow Agent has not received a designation of a successor Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after that time shall be to retain and safeguard the Escrow Fund until receipt of a designation of successor Escrow Agent or a joint written disposition instruction by the other parties hereto or a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

herewith, unless first indemnified and held harmless to its satisfaction, except that the Escrow Agent shall not be indemnified against any loss, liability or expense arising out of its negligence or willful misconduct. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement or resignation of the Escrow Agent.

8. Inspection. All funds or other property held as part of the Escrow shall at all times be clearly identified as being held by the Escrow Agent hereunder. Any party hereto may at any time during the Escrow Agent’s business hours (with reasonable notice) inspect any records or reports relating to the Escrow Fund.

9. Accounting by Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall keep accurate and detailed records of all investments, receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions required to be made, including such specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing between BHC, Cerus and Escrow Agent.

Further, each of BHC and Cerus shall not take any position in connection with the preparation, filing or audit of any Tax Return that is in any way inconsistent with the foregoing determination or the Forms 1099 provided by Escrow Agent.

11. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications required or permitted hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed given: (a) when delivered if delivered personally (including by courier); (b) on the third day after mailing, if mailed, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested); (c) on the day after mailing if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service which maintains records of the time, place, and recipient of delivery; or (d) upon receipt of a confirmed transmission, if sent by telecopy or facsimile transmission, in each case to the parties at the following addresses:
