under this Agreement shall be paid in full (subject to Section 9.14 (Withholding) and Section 9.15 (VAT)).
9.11.
Audits. Novartis shall keep complete and accurate records pertaining to Novartis Development Costs and to the underlying revenue and expenses data relating to the calculation of Net Sales for the Licensed Products in the Territory in sufficient detail to permit Amgen to confirm the accuracy of all payments due hereunder, including Amgen’s obligation to reimburse Novartis for Amgen’s share of Novartis Development Costs pursuant to Section 9.7 (Development Cost Sharing). Amgen shall keep complete and accurate records pertaining to Amgen Development Costs of Licensed Products in sufficient detail to permit Novartis to reasonably confirm the accuracy of all payments due hereunder with respect to Novartis’s obligation to reimburse Amgen for Novartis’s share of Amgen Development Costs pursuant to Section 9.7 (Development Cost Sharing). Such records of Novartis and Amgen shall be open (in such form as may be available or reasonably requested by an internationally recognized certified public accounting firm in accordance with this Section 9.11 (Audits)) to inspection for three (3) years following the end of the period to which they pertain. Each Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to have an independent, internationally recognized certified public accounting firm, selected by it review the records of the other Party upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours and under reasonable obligations of confidentiality. The report of such accounting firm shall be made available to both Parties simultaneously, promptly upon its completion; provided, however, that the Party being audited shall have the right to review and comment on the final draft version of the report prior to it being finalized. Such review and comment period shall extend for four (4) weeks after the audited Party’s receipt of such draft report. Each Party’s audit rights with respect to any Calendar Year shall expire three (3) years after the end of such year and the books and records for any particular Calendar Year shall only be subject to one (1) audit. Should the inspection lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to the auditing Party’s detriment, then the other Party shall pay to the auditing Party the amount of the discrepancy. Should the inspection lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to the detriment of the Party being audited, then the auditing Party shall pay to the Party being audited the amount of the discrepancy. The auditing Party shall pay the full cost of the inspection unless the discrepancy is to the detriment of the auditing Party and is greater than [*] percent ([*]%) of the amount actually paid for the audited period, in which case the Party being audited shall pay the cost of such inspection.
9.12.
Blocked Currency. If at any time legal restrictions in the Territory prevent the prompt remittance of any payments with respect to sales therein, Novartis shall have the right and option to make such payments by depositing the amount thereof in local currency to Amgen’s account in a bank or depository designated by Amgen in the Territory.
9.13.
Taxes. All Taxes levied on account of a payment made by Novartis to Amgen pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to the withholding and remittance provisions of Section 9.14 (Withholding). Except as otherwise provided, each Party will be responsible for its own taxes, fees, duties or similar amounts levied on account of any payments made to it under this Agreement.

9.14.
Withholding. In the event that Law requires Novartis to pay or withhold Taxes with respect to any payment to be made by Novartis pursuant to this Agreement, Novartis shall notify Amgen in writing of such payment or withholding requirements prior to making the payment to Amgen and provide such assistance to Amgen, including the provision of such documentation as may be required by a tax authority, as may be reasonably necessary in Amgen’s efforts to claim an exemption from or reduction of such Taxes. Novartis will, in accordance with Law, withhold Taxes from the amount due, remit such Taxes to the appropriate tax authority, and furnish Amgen with proof of payment of such Taxes within fifteen (15) Business Days following obtaining the relevant payment certificate. If Taxes are paid to a tax authority, Novartis shall provide such assistance to Amgen as is reasonably required to obtain a refund of Taxes withheld, or obtain a credit with respect to Taxes paid. Further, the Parties agree that no gross up mechanism or similar type adjustment will apply to such net payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Novartis unilaterally restructures the payment of any royalty or any other monies payable to Amgen under this Agreement such that Novartis or any of its Affiliates makes the payment of such royalty or any other monies payable to Amgen under this Agreement and solely as a result of such unilateral restructuring said amount is subject to withholding and further, Amgen is not able to recover or credit all or part of such withheld amount(s), Novartis agrees to compensate, without interest, Amgen for the corresponding economic impact of such non-recoverable or non-creditable amount. Such compensation must be made within a reasonable timeframe, upon request of Amgen. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall apply only in respect of a unilateral restructuring of payments by Novartis and shall not apply (x) in the event of a change in applicable Law or circumstance, (y) as the result of Amgen’s inability to recover or credit such withholding on a current or future basis due to Amgen’s taxable income (loss) position or other tax attributes in a given year, or (z) for any other reason beyond the exclusive control of Novartis.
9.15.
VAT. All payments due Amgen from Novartis pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid exclusive of any VAT (which, if applicable, shall be payable by Novartis upon receipt of a valid VAT invoice).
9.16.
Late Payment. Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder which are not paid when due shall bear interest at the Contract Interest Rate calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent. This Section 9.16 (Late Payment) shall in no way limit any other remedies available to either Party.

attorneys’ fees incurred by any Novartis Indemnitees until such time as Amgen has acknowledged and assumed its indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to the applicable Claim) arising out of any Claim brought against any Novartis Indemnitee by a Third Party to the extent such Losses result from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Amgen, or its Affiliates or agents in performing under this Agreement, (y) a breach by Amgen of this Agreement, including any failure of Amgen’s representations or warranties in Section 12.1 (Mutual Representations and Warranties) and 12.2 (Amgen Representations and Warranties) to be true, or (z) Amgen’s, its Affiliate’s or its licensee’s (other than Novartis, its Affiliates or its licensees) Development or Manufacture of the Licensed Products prior to the Effective Date, or thereafter, Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of, or conduct of Medical Affairs Activities with respect to, the Licensed Product for use or sale outside the Territory or performance of clinical studies with the Licensed Product in the Territory, but, in each case, excluding such Losses to the extent they arise from (i), (ii), or (iii) of Section 14.1.1 (By Novartis) above.
14.1.3.
Supply Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Claim for which a Party would be entitled to be indemnified in accordance with the terms of this Section 14 (Indemnification) relating to Manufacturing for which such Party is also entitled to be indemnified in accordance with a given Supply Agreement, such Party shall only be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to such Supply Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (including any applicable limitations of liability) and this Section 14.1 (Indemnity) shall not apply to such Claim.
14.2.
Claim for Indemnification. Whenever any Claim or Loss shall arise for which a Novartis Indemnitee or an Amgen Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”) may seek indemnification under this Article 14 (Indemnification), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Claim or Loss and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for the Claim; provided, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give such notice or to otherwise meet its obligations under this Section 14.2 (Claim for Indemnification) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Except as set forth below in this Section 14.2 (Claim for Indemnification), the Indemnifying Party shall have exclusive control of the defense and settlement of all Claims for which it is responsible for indemnification and shall promptly assume defense thereof at its own expense.

settlement would involve undertaking an obligation other than the payment of money, would bind or impair the other Party, or includes any admission of wrongdoing or that any intellectual property or proprietary right of the other Party is invalid or unenforceable. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party's expense and shall make available to the Indemnifying Party reasonably requested information under the control of the Indemnified Party, which information shall be subject to Article 11 (Confidentiality and Publications). The Indemnified Party shall have the right (at its own expense) to be present in person or through counsel at all legal proceedings giving rise to the right of indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and to control its own defense of the applicable Claim if: (i) there are or may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; provided that in no event will the Indemnifying Party be required to pay fees and expenses under this sentence for more than one (1) firm of attorneys in any jurisdiction in any one (1) legal action or group of related legal actions. In such event, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

AMGEN ENTERS INTO NEUROSCIENCE COLLABORATION
WITH NOVARTIS FOR ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND
MIGRAINE PROGRAMS

Global Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement in Alzheimer's Disease With Novartis’ Phase 1/2a BACE Inhibitor as the Lead

Preventative Treatment Approach Directed at Genetically Predisposed Individuals at Risk of Developing Alzheimer’s Disease; Builds on Amgen’s Genetic Validation Strategy

Global Co-Development Agreement More Rapidly Advances Amgen’s Migraine Programs, Including AMG 334 in Phase 3

Amgen Retains Migraine Commercialization Rights in the U.S., Japan and Canada; Provides Novartis With Rights to Commercialize Migraine Programs in Europe and Rest of World; Leverages Novartis’ Strong Commercial Neuroscience Presence

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced a neuroscience collaboration with Novartis in the areas of Alzheimer's disease and migraine. The collaboration accelerates Amgen's potential entry into Alzheimer's disease by teaming up with Novartis on a differentiated and genetically validated Alzheimer's disease program directed at genetically predisposed individuals at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The collaboration also enables Amgen to focus on the commercialization of its migraine programs in the U.S., Canada and Japan, while leveraging Novartis' strong commercial capabilities in neuroscience throughout Europe and other markets worldwide.
The agreement combines each company's BACE (beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme-1) programs targeting Alzheimer's disease into a global co-commercialization and co-development arrangement. Novartis' Phase 1/2a BACE inhibitor (CNP520) will be the lead molecule and each company's pre-clinical BACE inhibitor programs will be potential follow-ons. Amgen will make upfront and milestone payments, and will be responsible for

disproportional research and development (R&D) costs for an agreed-upon period followed by a 50/50 cost and profit share arrangement. CNP520 is planned to be included in a pioneering prevention study, in collaboration with the Banner Alzheimer's Institute. Amgen was the first company to clone the XXXX xxxx and subsequent genetic validation of the BACE target has been confirmed by Amgen subsidiary deCODE Genetics.
As part of the collaboration, Novartis receives global co-development rights and commercial rights outside of the U.S., Canada and Japan to the investigative molecules in Amgen's migraine portfolio program. This includes AMG 334 in Phase 3 and AMG 301 in Phase 1, as well as an option to commercialize an additional early-stage Amgen molecule in these territories. In exchange for territory rights, Novartis will fund disproportional amounts of global R&D expenses for an agreed-upon period on the migraine programs and pay Amgen double-digit royalties on sales.
"We are very pleased to be joining forces with Novartis on two important neuroscience programs where there remains high unmet medical need," said Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, M.D., executive vice president of Research and Development at Amgen. "Our collaboration on BACE inhibition reflects Amgen's strategic focus on genetically validated drug candidates while our collaboration in migraine creates an opportunity to more rapidly advance AMG 334 on a global scale."
About CNP520
Novartis' CNP520 is an oral drug designed to prevent the production of different forms of amyloid and has the potential to prevent, slow or delay the symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease. It is currently in Phase 1/2a trials.
About Amgen's BACE Research 
BACE (beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme-1) initiates the production of beta amyloid (Ab), the primary constituent of amyloid plaques that are believed to play a key role in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease. It is hypothesized that inhibiting BACE could reduce the production of amyloid plaques. Amgen was the first to clone and characterize BACE in a 1999 Science publication.1 Amgen subsidiary deCODE Genetics subsequently added corroborating human genetic evidence of its link to Alzheimer's disease in a 2012 Nature publication.2 Amgen has a number of preclinical candidates targeting BACE inhibition.
About Novartis' Collaboration with the Banner Alzheimer's Institute  

In collaboration with the Banner Alzheimer's Institute (BAI), Novartis is conducting a pioneering prevention study. The study with BAI is part of a ground-breaking research program known as the Alzheimer's Prevention Initiative and will involve more than 1,300 cognitively healthy adults, ages 60 to 75, with a genetic risk of developing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease because they inherited two genetic copies of the apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 (APOE4) allele – one from each parent. About 2 percent of the world's population has this genetic profile, which is strongly linked to late-onset Alzheimer's disease. One in four people carries one copy of the APOE4 gene. Participants in the study will be given either CNP520, CAD106 (not included in the collaboration with Amgen), or placebo. Pending regulatory approval, the study is planned to start in late 2015/early 2016 in sites in North America and Europe.
About Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease, the most common type of dementia, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that begins with microscopic changes in the brain. Alzheimer's disease causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms of the disease develop slowly and worsen over time. Two important components

of Alzheimer's disease are amyloid plaques and inflammation, the combination of which is believed to lead to a loss of synapses and neuronal death. The disease continuum can span decades with the initial amyloid accumulation occurring many years before the first signs of memory loss appear. It is estimated that approximately 44 million people globally have Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia.3 The global direct costs of Alzheimer's disease are estimated to be more than $600 billion.4 

About AMG 334 
AMG 334 is a fully human monoclonal antibody under investigation for the prevention of migraine. AMG 334 targets the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, which is believed to transmit signals that can cause incapacitating pain. AMG 334 is currently under evaluation in several large global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies to evaluate its safety and efficacy in migraine prevention.

About AMG 301
AMG 301 is a monoclonal antibody being investigated for the treatment of migraine.

About Migraine
Migraine has been declared one of the top 10 most disabling conditions in the world, with more than 10 percent of the worldwide population suffering from the condition.5More complex than just a headache, migraines involve incapacitating head pain and physical impairment, frequently accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and aura-related sound or other sensory disturbances.6 Migraine also has a tremendous impact on patients' everyday lives, including work productivity and social interactions.7,8 More than half of people living with migraine will go undiagnosed.9

information as of Sept. 1, 2015, and expressly disclaims any duty to update information contained in this news release.
No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those Amgen projects. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, preclinical results do not guarantee safe and effective performance of product candidates in humans. The complexity of the human body cannot be perfectly, or sometimes, even adequately modeled by computer or cell culture systems or animal models. The length of time that it takes for Amgen and its partners to complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for product marketing has in the past varied and Amgen expects similar variability in the future. Amgen develops product candidates internally and through licensing collaborations, partnerships and joint ventures. Product candidates that are derived from relationships may be subject to disputes between the parties or may prove to be not as effective or as safe as Amgen may have believed at the time of entering into such relationship. Also, Amgen or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with Amgen's products after they are on the market. Amgen's business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. If Amgen fails to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between Amgen and the U.S. government, Amgen could become subject to significant sanctions. Amgen depends on third parties for a significant portion of its manufacturing capacity for the supply of certain of its current and future products and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of its current products and product candidate development.
In addition, sales of Amgen's products are affected by the reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment as well as U.S. legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement. Government and others' regulations and reimbursement policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of Amgen's products. In addition, Amgen competes with other companies with respect to some of its marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Amgen believes that some of its newer products, product candidates or new indications for existing products, may face competition when and as they are approved and marketed. Amgen's products may compete against products that have lower prices, established reimbursement, superior performance, are easier to administer, or that are otherwise competitive with its products. In addition, while Amgen and its partners routinely obtain patents for their products and technology, the protection of Amgen's products offered by patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by its competitors and there can be no guarantee of Amgen's or its partners' ability to obtain or maintain patent protection for Amgen's products or product candidates. Amgen cannot guarantee that it will be able to produce commercially successful products or maintain the commercial success of its existing products. Amgen's stock price may be affected by actual or perceived market opportunity, competitive position and success or failure of its products or product candidates. Further, the discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of Amgen's products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on Amgen's business and results of

Novartis announces global partnership with Amgen to develop and commercialize pioneering neuroscience treatments

•
The companies plan to co-develop and co-commercialize a BACE inhibitor program in Alzheimer's Disease (AD); Novartis' oral therapy CNP520 will be the lead molecule 
 
•
Novartis and Amgen also plan to co-develop and co-commercialize Amgen's migraine portfolio, including fully human monoclonal antibody AMG 334 with first phase III data expected in 2017
 
•
Partnership reinforces Novartis' continued commitment to developing and bringing innovative neuroscience treatment options to patients


Basel, September 1, 2015 - Novartis announced today that it has entered into a global collaboration with Amgen to commercialize and develop pioneering neuroscience treatments. The companies will partner in the development and commercialization of a BACE inhibitor program in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Novartis' oral therapy CNP520 will be the lead molecule and further compounds from both company's pre-clinical BACE inhibitor programs may be considered as follow-on molecules. The collaboration will also focus on new Amgen drugs in the migraine field, including phase III AMG 334 and phase I AMG 301. For the migraine program, Novartis will have global co-development rights and commercial rights outside the U.S., Canada, and Japan.
"This Novartis collaboration with Amgen highlights our clear commitment to neuroscience and to bring multiple, new targeted therapies to patients living with Alzheimer's disease and migraine, where the unmet medical need remains high." said Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Head of Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
Alzheimer's Disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease characterized by loss of memory and other cognitive abilities. Amyloid build-up is considered a key driver of the progressive damage of the nervous system in AD. CNP520 is an oral drug designed to prevent the production of different forms of amyloid and has the potential to prevent, slow or delay the symptoms associated with AD. It is currently in phase I/IIa trials. CNP520 is

planned to be included in a pioneering prevention study in people with a genetic risk of developing AD, in collaboration with the Banner Alzheimer's Institute.
Migraine is a severe headache condition affecting more than 10% of the population[1] worldwide and a leading cause of disability. AMG 334 is a fully human monoclonal antibody under investigation for the prevention of migraine. AMG 334 inhibits the activity of Calcitonin-Gene-Related-Peptide (CGRP) by targeting its receptor. CGRP is believed to play a key role in the development of migraine. AMG 334 is currently under evaluation in several large global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trials to assess its safety and efficacy in migraine prevention. In addition to AMG 334, the migraine portfolio will include the development of AMG 301 and potentially another investigational compound of Amgen. AMG 301 is a monoclonal antibody being investigated in phase I trials for the prevention of migraine.
The partnership with Amgen follows two recent developments in the Novartis neuroscience portfolio aimed at complementing Novartis' neuroscience presence and pipeline in, among others, multiple sclerosis, AD and neuromuscular diseases. In July 2015 Novartis acquired Spinifex Pharmaceuticals adding phase II compound EMA401 for the treatment of neuropathic pain to the portfolio. In August 2015 Novartis announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire all remaining rights to Ofatumumab from GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and certain other autoimmune indications; closing of this transaction is subject to expiry of any waiting period under the US Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act and other customary closing conditions.
Under the terms of the arrangement, Novartis and Amgen will share responsibilities for development and commercialization of the BACE inhibitor program. Amgen will pay an upfront payment and milestone payments as well as disproportional research and development costs for an agreed upon period followed by a 50/50 cost and profit share arrangement. For the compounds in the migraine field, Novartis receives global co-development rights and commercial rights outside the U.S., Canada and Japan to the investigative molecules in Amgen's migraine portfolio. This includes AMG 334 in phase III and AMG 301 in phase I as well as an option to commercialize an additional early-stage Amgen molecule in these territories. Novartis will fund disproportional global R&D expenses for an agreed period on the migraine programs and will pay Amgen double-digit royalties on sales.
About Alzheimer's 
It is estimated that around 44 million people globally have Alzheimer's or a related dementia[2]. Alzheimer's Disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest tasks of daily living. In most people with Alzheimer's, symptoms first appear after age 60. Alzheimer's Disease is the most common cause of dementia among older people. Although treatment can help manage symptoms in some people, currently there is no cure for this devastating disease.

About Migraine
Migraine is a type of headache disorder that involves recurrent attacks of moderate to severe pain that is typically pulsating, often unilateral and often associated with nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light, sound and odors.[1] Headache disorders are underestimated, under-recognized and under-treated throughout the world and are associated with personal and societal burdens of pain, disability, damaged quality of life and financial cost.[3] There is a significant need for tolerable and efficacious preventive medications for migraine as discontinuation rates for existing oral preventive medications are high.[4]
About Novartis in Alzheimer's Disease
Novartis has a strong commitment to the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's Dementia.
Exelon® Patch (rivastigmine transdermal system) is approved for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's Disease (AD) dementia in more than 90 countries, including more than 20 countries where it is also approved for Xxxxxxxxx'x disease dementia. Exelon Patch is also indicated for the treatment of patients with severe AD in 14 countries, including the US.
Novartis AD pipeline includes CNP520,an oral drug designed to prevent the production of different forms of amyloid that has the potential to prevent, slow or delay the symptoms associated with AD. It is currently in phase I/IIa trials. The pipeline also includes investigational compound CAD106. This is an anti-amyloid active immunotherapy which has completed phase IIa trials.
About collaboration with Banner Alzheimer's Institute (BAI)
In collaboration with the Banner Alzheimer's Institute (BAI), Novartis is conducting a pioneering prevention study. The study with Banner is part of a ground-breaking research program known as the Alzheimer's Prevention Initiative and will involve more than 1,300 cognitively healthy adults, ages 60 to 75, with a genetic risk of developing symptoms of AD because they inherited two genetic copies of the apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 (APOE4) allele - one from each parent. About 2 percent of the world's population has this genetic profile, which is strongly linked to late-onset AD. One in four people carries one copy of the APOE4 gene. Participants in the study will be given either CAD106 (not included in the collaboration with Amgen), CNP520, or placebo. Pending regulatory approval, the study is planned to start in late 2015/early 2016 in sites in North America and Europe.
