9.4. Development Costs and Expenses.
9.4.1. CTI Development Costs Generally. CTI shall be responsible for and shall pay all CTI Development Costs incurred prior to January 1, 2014. CTI shall pay for all CTI Development Costs incurred by it as part of the Development under the Development Plan, subject to reimbursement for costs incurred on or after January 1, 2014 by Xxxxxx in accordance with the remainder of this Section 9.4.
9.4.2. CTI Development Cost Threshold. CTI Developments Costs incurred on or after January 1, 2014 will be allocated as follows:
9.4.2.1 CTI shall be responsible for the first ninety-six million U.S. dollars (USD 96,000,000) of such CTI Development Costs applicable to the Licensed Territory (such amount, the “CTI Development Cost Threshold”); provided, however, that if any such CTI Development Costs relate exclusively to the Co-Promotion Territory, the Parties will confer and agree on an upward adjustment of the CTI Development Cost Threshold commensurate with the corresponding increase in costs for the Co-Promotion Territory, and provided, further, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, that (a) one hundred percent (100%) of those CTI Development Costs which are applicable primarily or solely to obtaining Marketing Approval for countries outside of the European Union and the Co-Promotion Territory and (b) if paid initially by CTI, all fees for Regulatory Filings in the Xxxxxx Exclusive Territory (except with respect to the EU prior to the first Marketing Approval in the EU of a Licensed Product) shall be reimbursed promptly by Xxxxxx to CTI and shall not be counted toward the CTI Development Cost Threshold.
9.4.2.2 For all CTI Development Costs which exceed the CTI Development Cost Threshold: (a) subject to Section 9.4.2.3, those CTI Development Costs which are generally applicable to the Licensed Territory shall be shared by the Parties such that seventy-five percent (75%) shall be borne by Xxxxxx and reimbursed to CTI as set forth in Section 9.4.4, with the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) to be borne by CTI, (b) those CTI Development Costs which are applicable exclusively to the Xxxxxx Exclusive Territory, one hundred percent (100%) shall be borne by Xxxxxx and reimbursed to CTI as set forth in Section 9.4.4, and (c) those CTI Development Costs which are applicable exclusively to the Co-Promotion Territory shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Xxxxxx and reimbursed to CTI as provided in Section 9.4.4, with the remaining fifty percent (50%) to be borne by CTI. For the avoidance of doubt, no CTI Development Costs shall be taken into consideration for purposes of calculating the Profit & Loss

Share for the Co-Promotion Territory. For purposes of Section 9.4, costs are considered “incurred” upon the delivery and acceptance of the relevant services or goods.
9.4.2.3 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary and in particular Section 9.4.2.1, if, at any time prior to receipt of the first Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product in a country or region for Myelofibrosis, the CTI Development Costs associated with the Development of the Licensed Product for Myelofibrosis (collectively, the “MF Development Costs”) exceed **, the obligations of the Parties with respect to the CTI Development Costs as set forth in Sections 9.4.2.1 and 9.4.2.2 above shall be modified such that ** of the MF Development Costs shall be borne by **, with the remaining ** of MF Development Costs **. Any Development Costs related to manufacturing activities not currently contemplated, including without limitation scale-up beyond current lot size of ** and qualification of a backup supplier, shall be excluded from such reallocation. For the avoidance of doubt, such reallocation shall only apply with respect to any CTI Development Costs that are associated with the Development of the Licensed Product for Myelofibrosis. This re-allocation of responsibility shall continue until the receipt of the first Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product. At the point of receipt of first Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product, the obligations of the Parties shall revert to the allocation set forth in Sections 9.4.2.1 and 9.4.2.2 such that if the first Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product is received in the EU first, ** of the MF Development Costs shall be borne ** and if the first Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product is received in the Co-Promotion Territory, ** of the MF Development Costs shall be borne **.
9.4.3. Adjustment of the CTI Development Cost Threshold.
9.4.3.1 If the first Marketing Approval for a Licensed Product in the Co-Promotion Territory is obtained on or before October 1, 2016, then the CTI Development Cost Threshold shall be reduced by ** to ** (the “Reduced Threshold”) and for all purposes of this Agreement, the Reduced Threshold shall be deemed to be the CTI Development Cost Threshold. To the extent that the Reduced Threshold is lower than the aggregate of CTI Development Costs which have been incurred at the time of such Marketing Approval, such that ** incurred expenses in excess of the Reduced Threshold, then ** shall thereafter pay ** of ongoing CTI Development Costs (and not **, as the case may be), until such excess has been offset completely.
9.4.3.2 There shall be no change in the CTI Development Cost Threshold if the first Marketing Approval for a Licensed Product is obtained after October 1, 2016 but before February 1, 2017.
9.4.3.3 If the first Marketing Approval for a Licensed Product in the Co-Promotion Territory is obtained on or after February 1, 2017, then

the CTI Development Cost Threshold shall be increased by ** to ** (the “Increased Threshold”) and for all purposes of this Agreement, the Increased Threshold shall be deemed to be the CTI Development Cost Threshold. To the extent that the Increased Threshold is higher than the aggregate CTI Development Costs which have been incurred at the time of such Marketing Approval, such that Xxxxxx payments will have been made commencing prior to the attainment of the Increased Threshold resulting in an overpayment by Xxxxxx, then CTI shall thereafter pay ** of ongoing CTI Development Costs (and not **, as the case may be), until such overpayment has been offset completely.
9.4.4. Reimbursement. CTI shall charge all CTI Development Costs incurred by it or its Affiliates to a separate account created by CTI on its books and records solely for the purpose of tracking CTI Development Costs (the “Development Account”). As soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each calendar month, CTI shall provide to Xxxxxx a report setting forth all CTI Development Costs incurred during the immediately ended calendar month and charged to the Development Account together with reasonable supporting documentation for such expenses and, to the extent that Xxxxxx is responsible for any portion thereof pursuant to this Section 9.4, an invoice setting forth the portion of such CTI Development Costs for which Xxxxxx is responsible) (the invoice, summary and documentation, collectively, the “Development Cost Summary”). Unless Xxxxxx disputes any of the costs set forth therein or the apportionment of the Development costs, Xxxxxx shall reimburse CTI for Xxxxxx’x portion of the CTI Development Costs **, provided that Xxxxxx shall pay any undisputed costs within such time period.
9.4.5. Employee Efforts. The efforts of the employees of CTI or its Affiliates in performing activities under this Agreement shall be charged to CTI’s Development Account at the FTE Rate. Only those efforts that are contemplated by the applicable Development Plan shall be chargeable by CTI to its Development Account. All costs incurred by CTI owing to a Third Party in connection with the performance of its activities under a Development Plan shall be charged to CTI’s Development Account at CTI’s actual out-of-pocket cost. At the time of the annual update of the Development Plan for the Licensed Products, the CTI Development Cost Budget shall also be approved, as determined by the JSC. If the JSC is unable to agree on any changes to the CTI Development Cost Budget, then CTI shall be entitled to continue its spending for activities budgeted in the most recent CTI Development Cost Budget approved by the JSC or agreed by the Parties for which Xxxxxx shall reimburse CTI in accordance with Section 9.4.2 and Section 9.4.4.
9.4.6. Records and Audit. CTI shall keep and maintain accurate and complete records showing the expenses incurred by it in performing its activities under the Development Plan during the three (3) preceding Calendar Years, which books and records shall be in sufficient detail such that CTI Development Costs can accurately be determined. Upon ** prior written notice from Xxxxxx, on an audit date as mutually agreed by the Parties, CTI shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing, selected by Xxxxxx and reasonably acceptable to CTI, to examine, at Xxxxxx’x sole expense, the relevant

An examination by Xxxxxx under this Section 9.4.6 shall occur not more than once in any Calendar Year and shall be limited to the pertinent books and records for any Calendar Year ending not more than two (2) years before the date of the request. The accounting firm shall be provided access to such books and records at CTI’s facility(ies) where such books and records are normally kept and such examination shall be conducted during CTI’s normal business hours. CTI may require the accounting firm to sign a standard non-disclosure agreement before providing the accounting firm access to CTI’s facilities or records. Upon completion of the audit, the accounting firm shall provide both CTI and Xxxxxx a written report disclosing whether the reports submitted by CTI are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to Xxxxxx. If the accounting firm concludes that CTI overstated the CTI Development Costs and Xxxxxx overpaid CTI for its portion of the CTI Development Costs as a result, CTI shall promptly pay Xxxxxx the amount of such overpayment plus interest, which shall be calculated at the average of the **. ** Xxxxxx shall not reveal to such accounting firm the conditions under which the audit expenses are to be reimbursed hereunder. If the accounting firm concludes that CTI understated the Development costs incurred by Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx underpaid CTI for its portion of the CTI Development Costs as a result, **.
9.4.7. Financial Information. All financial information of CTI which is subject to review under this Section 9.4 shall be deemed to be CTI Confidential Information subject to the provisions of Article XIII hereof, and Xxxxxx shall not disclose such CTI Confidential Information to any Third Party or use such CTI Confidential Information for any purpose other than reviewing progress made or verifying payments to be made hereunder; provided, however, that such CTI Confidential Information may be disclosed by Xxxxxx to Third Parties only to the extent necessary to enforce Xxxxxx’x rights under this Agreement.
9.4.8. Post-Marketing Approval Studies. For any Post-Marketing Approval Studies, costs shall be allocated as follows: (a) those costs which are applicable to both the Co-Promotion Territory and the Xxxxxx Exclusive Territory shall be shared by the Parties such that ** shall be borne ** pursuant to Section 9.4.4, with the remaining ** to be borne **, (b) those Costs which are applicable exclusively to the Xxxxxx Exclusive Territory, ** shall be **, and (c) those Costs which are applicable exclusively to the Co-Promotion territory shall be paid and borne **. All such expenses borne by CTI but reimbursed by Xxxxxx shall be independent of the provisions of Section 9.4.2. The above subsections (a) and (c) are applicable only after the CTI Development Cost Threshold has been surpassed (i.e., Post-Marketing Approval Studies are included in the CTI Development Cost Threshold).
9.4.9. Investigator-Sponsored Trials. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, CTI shall bear all costs and expenses for Investigator-Sponsored Trials for the Licensed Product (for either the Initial Indication or any Additional Indications or both) up to an annual cap of ** per calendar year. Any costs and expenses for Investigator-Sponsored Trials for the Licensed Product in excess of this initial cap and up to a secondary cap of ** per calendar year **. Neither Party may approve, initiate or fund any

10.5.2. Product Infringement of Subject Patents in the Licensed Territory.
(a) If a Party becomes aware of any actual or alleged existing or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Subject Patent, by making, using, importing, offering for sale, or selling the Compound, Drug Product and/or Licensed Product (such activities, “Product Infringement”) in the Licensed Territory, such Party shall notify the other Party as provided in Section 10.5.1.

10.5.3. Non-Product Infringement of Joint Patents Anywhere in the Licensed Territory. For infringement of the Joint Patents that is not Product Infringement, the Parties shall confer to determine which Party shall have the first right to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement, and the manner in which they shall bear costs and share related recoveries of such suit or action. The Party that brings such suit or actions (the “Enforcing Party”) shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts. The other Party shall cooperate with the enforcing Party in enforcing Joint Patents against such infringement, without limitation joining an action as a party plaintiff if so required by Laws to pursue such action. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement upon which Party shall bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement of such Joint Patent within thirty (30) days, or ten (10) days prior to any deadline relating to loss of any rights with respect to such infringement, whichever is earlier, then Xxxxxx shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring such suit or other actions against such infringement in the Licensed Territory at its sole expense. The Party that does not bring such suit or action shall have the right to participate in such actions at its expense upon written notice to the other Party.

Xxxxxx shall not settle any claim, suit, or action that it brings under this Section 10.5 involving Subject Patents in any manner that would, in CTI’s reasonable judgment, negatively impact CTI, including settlements involving the ownership, validity or enforceability of any of the CTI Patents, or that do not include a full and unconditional release from all liability of CTI, without the prior written consent of CTI, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. CTI shall not settle any claim, suit, or action that it brings under this Section 10.5 involving Subject Patents in the Licensed Territory in any manner that would, in Xxxxxx’x reasonable judgment, negatively impact Xxxxxx, without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Moreover, any settlement by Xxxxxx involving Subject Patents in the Licensed Territory, that (a) results in cross-licensing or (b) results in sublicenses to Third Parties shall require CTI’s prior written consent. Neither Party shall settle any claim, suit, or action that it brings under this Section 10.5 involving Joint Patents (other than Subject Patents) in any manner that would negatively impact the other Party, including the ownership, validity or enforceability of any of such Joint Patents, or if the settlement does not include a full and unconditional release from all liability of the other Party, without the prior written consent of such other Party.
10.5.5. Allocation of Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.5, if either Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party in a suit or action brought under this Section 10.5, whether such damages result from the infringement of Xxxxxx Patents or CTI Patents, such recovery shall be allocated as follows:
(a) First to the repayment of expenses with respect to the action;
(b) ** of the remainder to the Party which brought the action (except in the Co-Promotion Territory, in which such Party shall receive ** of the remainder); and

10.6. Infringement of Third Party Rights in the Licensed Territory.
10.6.1. Notice. If the development, manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, import or export of the Licensed Product in the Licensed Field and in the Licensed Territory results in a claim for Patent infringement by a Third Party, the Party first having notice of such claim shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of such a claim. Following such notice, the Parties agree to enter into either a joint defense or common interest agreement, under which agreement the Parties can share the known facts of such infringement in reasonable detail, if they are advised to do so by counsel.
10.6.2. Third Party Claims. Xxxxxx shall assume control of the defense of any claims brought by Third Parties alleging infringement of Third Party intellectual property rights in connection with the development, manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, import or export of the Licensed Product in the Licensed Field in the Licensed Territory, represented by its own counsel. If requested by Xxxxxx, CTI agrees to join in any litigation, and in any event shall reasonably cooperate with Xxxxxx, at Xxxxxx’x expense. Xxxxxx shall have the exclusive right to settle any such claim without the consent of CTI, unless such settlement shall negatively impact on CTI, including without limitation on the ownership, validity or enforceability of any CTI Patents. Any expenses incurred in defending any such claims shall be solely the responsibility of Xxxxxx. CTI shall be entitled to separate representation in the defense of any such claims brought by Third Parties using counsel of its own choice and at its own expense.
10.6.3. Potential Third Party Claims. In the event that either Party becomes aware of a Third Party intellectual property right that might reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim of infringement under this Section 10.6, that Party shall promptly notify the other Party of such intellectual property right and all relevant facts and circumstances known to the discovering Party. Following such notice, the Parties agree to enter into either a joint defense or common interest agreement, under which agreement the Parties can share the known facts of such infringement in reasonable detail, if they are advised to do so by counsel, and to consult thereafter regarding any corrective or preventive action to be taken to address such potential claim.
10.7. Patent Oppositions and Other Proceedings.
10.7.1. By the Parties.

Party shall so notify the other Party, and the Parties shall promptly confer to determine whether to bring such action or the manner in which to settle such action. Xxxxxx shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring in its sole control and at its sole expense such action in the Licensed Territory. If Xxxxxx does not bring such action within thirty (30) days of notification thereof pursuant to this Section 10.7 (or earlier, if required by the nature of the proceeding), then CTI shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring, in CTI’s sole control and at its sole expense, such action. The Party not bringing an action under this Section 10.7 shall join the action as a joint party plaintiff if required to enable the other Party to bring such action, at the other Party’s expense. Additionally, if appropriate, the Party not bringing an action under this Section 10.7 shall be entitled to separate representation, at its sole expense, in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice, and shall cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action. Any awards or amounts received in bringing any such action shall be first allocated to reimburse the Parties’ expenses in such action, and any remaining amounts shall be retained by the Party bringing such action.
10.7.2. By Third Parties. If a CTI Patent (including a Joint Patent) becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party in the Licensed Territory in connection with an opposition, reexamination request, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, an action for infringement against a Third Party under Section 10.5, in which case the provisions of Section 10.5 shall govern), then CTI shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to control such defense at its sole cost. CTI shall permit Xxxxxx to participate in the proceeding to the extent permissible under Laws, and to be represented by its own counsel in such proceeding, at Xxxxxx’x sole expense. If CTI decides that it does not wish to defend against such action, then Xxxxxx shall have a backup right to assume defense of such Third-Party action. Except as set forth above, all expenses incurred by the Parties in such an action shall be borne by the Party controlling the defense of the Third-Party action. Any awards or amounts received in defending any such Third-Party action, if any, shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 10.5.5 as if the Party controlling the defense of the Third-Party Action were the Party that brought an action against an alleged infringer.
10.8. Patent Term Extensions in the Licensed Territory. The patent counsel of each Party shall discuss and recommend for which, if any, of the Subject Patents in the Licensed Territory the Parties should seek any term extensions, supplementary protection certificates, and equivalents thereof offering Patent protection beyond the initial term with respect to any issued Patents (“Patent Term Extensions”) licensed to Xxxxxx hereunder in the Licensed Territory. Xxxxxx shall have the final decision-making authority with respect to applying for any such Patent Term Extensions in the Licensed Territory; provided that Xxxxxx shall not unreasonably fail or refuse to do so, and shall have the sole right to apply for any such Patent Term Extensions Xxxxxx decides to seek, at its expense; provided, however, that to the extent any such application for Patent Term Extension must be filed in the name of CTI, CTI hereby grants Xxxxxx the power to file such application on behalf of and/or as agent for CTI. CTI shall cooperate fully with Xxxxxx, at Xxxxxx’x expense, in making such filings or taking any related actions, for example and without limitation, making available all required regulatory data and information and executing any required authorizations to apply for such Patent Term Extension.

Xxxxxx shall, at its expense, prepare and deliver to CTI such instruments and other documents reasonably necessary and in proper form for such registration.

With respect to all other Damages in connection with Third Party claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party claim in accordance with this Section 14.3, the Indemnifying Party will have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Damages; provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

No failure or delay by either Party in the performance of any obligation hereunder shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement nor create any liability for any damages, increased cost or losses which the other Party may sustain by reason of such failure or delay of performance, if the same shall arise from any cause or causes beyond the control of that Party, such as earthquake, storm, flood, fire, other acts of nature, epidemic, war, riot, hostility, public disturbance, cessation of transport, act of public enemies, prohibition or act by a Government Authority or public agency, strike or other labor dispute or work stoppage (collectively “Force Majeure”); provided, however, that the Party so prevented shall continue to take all commercially reasonable actions within its power to comply with its obligations hereunder as fully as possible and to mitigate possible damages.

In connection with the Company’s obligation under Sections 3 and 4 hereof to file the Registration Statement with the SEC and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
5.1. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement, and furnish to each Holder and the single firm of counsel designated by the Holders to the extent requested by such Holder or counsel, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the SEC;
5.2. Furnish to the Holders, without charge, such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents (including, without limitation, prospectus amendments and supplements as are prepared by the Company in accordance with Section 5.1 above) as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of such Holders’ Registrable Shares. The Company hereby consents to the use of such prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Shares covered by such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
5.3. Notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in or relating to the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and, thereafter, the Company will promptly prepare (and, when completed, give notice to each Holder) a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; upon such notification by the Company, the Holders will not offer or sell Registrable Shares until the Company has notified the Holders that it has prepared a supplement or amendment to such prospectus and delivered copies of such supplement or amendment to the Holders (it being understood and agreed by the Company that the foregoing clause shall in no way diminish or otherwise impair the Company’s obligation to promptly prepare a prospectus amendment or supplement as above provided in this Section 5.3 and deliver copies of same as above provided in Section 5.2 hereof);

5.5. Use commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such states where such registration and/or qualification is required as shall be reasonably requested by a Holder, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, and provided further that (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary with respect to the bearing of expenses) if any jurisdiction in which any of such Registrable Shares shall be qualified shall require that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification therein of any such Registrable Shares be borne by the Holders, then the Holders shall, to the extent required by such jurisdiction, pay their pro rata share of such qualification expenses;
5.6. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction in the United States, and (ii) if such an order or suspension is issued, obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest practicable moment and notify each holder of Registrable Shares of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding such purpose;
5.7. Permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Holders to review the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof), at Holders’ own cost, a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC (not less than five (5) Business Days) and use commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in such documents any comments as such counsel may reasonably propose (so long as such comments are provided to the Company at least (2) Business Days prior to the expected filing date) and will not request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to such counsel, provided, however that the Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Majority Holders and the counsel designated by the Holders shall reasonably object in good faith;
5.8. Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Shares to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Shares to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request;

Each Holder shall promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information furnished to the Company.

In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Shares on any securities exchange as required hereunder. Any expenses incurred by a Holder, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for such Holder or any brokerage and other selling commissions and discounts shall be borne by such Holder.
8. Delay of Registration.

9. Indemnification.
9.1. The Company will, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents and employees of each of them, each person who controls each Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any, and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling person (in each case, a “Holder Indemnified Person”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any loss, claim, damage, cost (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees), expenses, or liability (“Loss”), to which such Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Loss arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such Loss to the extent, but only to the extent, that it arises solely out of or is based solely upon (1) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in connection with the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, based upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with the Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus by a Holder, any underwriter for such Holder or controlling person with respect to such Holder, or (2) any breach by any Holder of this Agreement or the failure of such Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting sales of the Registrable Shares.
9.2. Each Holder will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and all other Holders against any Loss to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, or such other Holder may become subject to, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Loss arises solely out of or is based solely upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent and only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the Registration

Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Holder expressly for use in connection with the Registration Statement, or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus; and provided, further, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of those Holder(s) against which the request for indemnity is being made. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
9.3. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume at its expense the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties and the indemnified parties. In the event that the indemnifying party assumes any such defense, the indemnified party may participate in such defense with its own counsel and at its own expense, provided, however, that the counsel for the indemnifying party shall act as lead counsel in all matters pertaining to such defense or settlement of such claim. The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 9, except (and only) to the extent the indemnifying party is actually and materially adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
9.4. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any Loss referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Loss as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Agreement are in addition to any liability that the indemnifying parties may have to the indemnified parties.
10. Reports Under The Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holders to sell the Registrable Shares to the public without registration until the Mandatory Registration Termination Date, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts: (i) to make and keep public information available as those terms are understood in Rule 144, (ii) to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer of securities registered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, (iii) as long as any Holder owns any Registrable Shares, to furnish in writing upon such Holder’s request a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and (iv) undertake any additional actions reasonably necessary to maintain the availability of the Registration Statement or the use of Rule 144.

11. Suspension. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that the Board has made the good faith determination (i) that continued use by the Holders of the Registration Statement for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto would require, under the Securities Act, premature disclosure in the Registration Statement (or the prospectus relating thereto) of material, nonpublic information concerning the Company, its business or prospects or any proposed material transaction involving the Company, (ii) that such premature disclosure would be materially adverse to the Company, its business or prospects or any such proposed material transaction or would make the successful consummation by the Company of any such material transaction significantly less likely and (iii) that it is therefore essential to suspend the use by the Holders of such Registration Statement (and the prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto, then the right of the Holders to use the Registration Statement (and the prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto shall be suspended for a period (the “Suspension Period”) of not more than forty-five (45) days after delivery by the Company of the certificate referred to above in this Section 11; provided that the Company shall be entitled to no more than two (2) such Suspension Periods during any twelve (12) month period. During the Suspension Period, none of the Holders shall offer or sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to or in reliance upon the Registration Statement (or the prospectus relating thereto). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate any Suspension Period as promptly as practicable.
12. Transfer of Registration Rights. None of the rights of any Holder under this Agreement shall be transferred or assigned to any person unless (i) such person is a Qualifying Holder (as defined below), and (ii) such person agrees to become a party to, and bound by, all of the terms and conditions of, this Agreement by duly executing and delivering to the Company an Instrument of Adherence in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto. For purposes of this Section 12, the term “Qualifying Holder” shall mean, with respect to any Holder, (a) any corporation, partnership controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such Holder or any partner thereof, or (b) any other direct transferee from such Holder of at least 25% of those Registrable Shares held by such Holder. None of the rights of any Holder under this Agreement shall be transferred or assigned to any Person (including, without limitation, a Qualifying Holder) that acquires Registrable Shares in the event that and to the extent that such Person is eligible to immediately resell such Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any

other exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act. After any transfer in accordance with this Section 12, the rights and obligations of a Holder as to any transferred Registrable Shares shall be the rights and obligations of the Holder Permitted Transferee holding such Registrable Shares.
13. Confidentiality of Records. Each Holder agrees not to disclose any material non-public information provided by the Company in connection with a registration (including, without limitation, the contemplated filing and timing of filing of a Registration Statement).

Exhibit 8.2
Manufacturing and Supply Agreement Terms
The following is a summary of certain material terms relating to the manufacture and supply of Licensed Product from CTI to Baxter that will be contained in a definitive Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”). An initial draft of the Supply Agreement was prepared by Baxter and commented upon by CTI to reflect the Parties initial positions on certain manufacturing and supply related matters (the “Draft Supply Agreement”). The length of time of the negotiation with respect to the Supply Agreement and the efforts and manner in which the Parties shall negotiate are as set forth in the Development, Commercialization and License Agreement (“DCLA”) to which this Exhibit is attached. All terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings attached to such terms in the DCLA. The following material terms of the Supply Agreement shall be binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to modification unless mutually agreed by the Parties.
Supply Agreement Term |
Details | |
Term | Supply Agreement will be coterminous with the DCLA; provided, however that upon expiration (but not termination) of the DCLA the Parties shall discuss in good faith an extension of the Supply Agreement and/or a technology transfer to ensure that Baxter (and CTI as applicable) will continue to have a supply of Licensed Product and/or Drug Product (as applicable). | |
Fill/Finish Option | The Parties acknowledge that the DCLA provides that Baxter shall have an option to perform, by itself or through one or more CMOs, the packaging, finishing and labeling activities to produce Licensed Product from Drug Product, and that upon exercise of this Fill/Finish Option the Supply Agreement will be appropriately modified and that the Parties will enter into a second supply agreement which shall, to the extent practicable and in accordance with industry custom and the circumstances, ensure that the Parties will be is comparable positions with respect to such second supply agreement as with respect to the Supply Agreement. In the event that Baxter exercises the Fill/Finish Option and supplies finished Licensed Product to CTI, it shall be at Xxxxxx’x COGS therefor. | |
Supply Price | The purchase price for the Licensed Product under the Supply Agreement will be ** through manufacture of the Licensed Product in Drug Product form, subject to the Supply Cap. For purposes of clarification, fill & finish (such as blistering and package inserts), freight, insurance and other subsequent supply chain expenses are not subject to the Supply Cap but shall **. | |
Supply Cap | Notwithstanding ** for Licensed Product referenced above, ** of Licensed Product (the “Supply Cap Prices”) shall apply to all Pacritinib Citrate ** delivered to Baxter under the Supply Agreement. The ** shall be increased at the beginning of each subsequent Calendar Year over the prior year amount by ** |

**** | Indicates that the amount of information omitted was a page or more in length, and such information has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions |
Volume |
2014 Supply Cap Price Per Capsule |
|||
** |
** | |||
** |
** | |||
** |
** | |||
** |
** |
For the avoidance of doubt, the above prices are not incremental. That is, if Baxter purchases ** capsules in a calendar year, the maximum supply price (excluding packaging) is ** (subject to the annual adjustment noted above).
As noted above, ** will be charged for each unit of Licensed Product delivered under the Supply Agreement (subject to the Supply Cap). However the Supply Agreement will also contain a “true-up” mechanism to ensure that, based upon the above Supply Cap, upon the completion of the applicable calendar year, any payment overages for the purchase of Licensed Product are refunded to Baxter or any payment deficits are paid to CTI, in either case, within 60 days following the end of the applicable calendar year.
The Parties agree that the foregoing Supply Cap Prices are based upon the assumption of one (1) Drug Substance manufacturing run per Calendar Year, produced by a single Drug Substance manufacturer. Should the Parties agree to greater than one Drug Substance manufacturing run per Calendar Year, then the JSC shall adjust the Supply Cap Prices to reflect any expected incremental expense. The Supply Cap Prices only apply to Drug Product by a single primary supplier. Should Drug Product be produced under any Back-Up Manufacturing provisions, then the Supply Prices Cap shall not apply to any such Drug Product. | ||
Binding Orders | The timeframe for forecasting and any binding order provisions in the Supply Agreement shall be aligned with the contractual provisions with any CMOs engaged to perform such work, as well as any provisions for Safety Stock, for which Baxter will have approval authority according to the terms of the DCLA. | |
Supply Failure | The Supply Agreement will include appropriate technology transfer provisions (including provision of drug master files and other customary terms in the industry) sufficient to enable Baxter to manufacture (or have manufactured) the Licensed Product in the event that there is a Supply Failure (as defined in the Draft Supply Agreement). ** | |
Back-up Manufacturing | The Supply Agreement will include a covenant from CTI requiring CTI, within an agreed upon period of time (as determined by the JMC but no |

later than 30 months following first commercial sale), to have engaged and qualified a CMO to provide back-up manufacturing and supply for the Licensed Product (a “Secondary Supply Source”). Expenses with any scale-up, tech transfer and validation of Back-up Manufacturing are Development expenses. Expenses associated with producing any Licensed Product under Back-up Manufacturing shall be provided at actual COGS but not subject to the Supply Cap. With notice suitable for any contemplated contracts, Baxter may waive or extent the timeframe for this provision for Back-up Manufacturing. | ||
Safety Stock | Until such time as CTI has engaged and qualified a Secondary Supply Source, CTI will agree to maintain, a safety stock of Licensed Product as forecast and ordered by Baxter sufficient to supply Baxter with its requirements of Licensed Product for the Territory for a period of not less than six (6) months. The cost for the safety stock will be shared by the Parties such that Baxter is responsible for ** of the cost and CTI shall be responsible for ** of the cost. For the avoidance of doubt, as such safety stock of Licensed Product is depleted, Baxter shall be responsible under the Supply Agreement only for the remaining ** that was previously borne by CTI, until aforementioned 6-month requirement is fulfilled. | |
Representations/ Warranties/ Indemnification |
The Supply Agreement will contain customary representations and warranties relating to the manufacture and supply of the Licensed Product including each Party’s obligation to comply with all applicable Laws. Further, the Supply Agreement will include appropriate indemnification language (a draft of which is set forth in the Draft Supply Agreement). | |
Recalls | Section 7.4 of the Agreement shall govern the Parties’ obligations with respect to Recalls, Withdrawals and/or Field Corrections. | |
Confidentiality | Article XIII of the Agreement shall govern the Parties’ obligations with respect to confidentiality. | |
Dispute Resolution | Section 16.13 of the Agreement shall govern the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect to the resolution of any disputes under the Supply Agreement. | |
CTI CMO Agreement(s) | Baxter has the right to approve in writing any supply agreement CTI enters into with CTI’s CMOs before execution thereof. |

A Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control Transaction shall not be deemed a Liquidation unless the Corporation expressly declares that such Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control Transaction shall be treated as if it were a Liquidation.

Section 6. Conversion and Exchange Rights.
(a) Conversions at Option of Holder.
(i) Each share of Series 19 Preferred Stock shall be convertible at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date, at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series 19 Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation or its designated conversion agent with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), which may be delivered before the date of conversion. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock owned before the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date must be on or after the Original Issue Date and may not be before the date the applicable Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation in accordance with Section 11(a) (such date, the “Conversion Date”); provided, however, that in the case of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 6(b), the “Conversion Date” shall be the first to occur of the dates set forth in clauses (A) through (C) of Section 6(b). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder (or the first date thereafter that conversion is permitted pursuant to this Section 6(a) or Section 6(b), as applicable). The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock, a Holder shall be required to (and by delivering a Notice of Conversion shall thereby be deemed to agree to) forthwith surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock to the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof, no Holder thereof shall be required to physically surrender the certificate representing such Holder’s shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless (A) the full or remaining number of shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock represented by such certificate are being converted or (B) such Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Notice of Conversion) requesting reissuance of a certificate representing the remaining shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock upon physical surrender of any certificate representing the shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock being converted. Each Holder and the Corporation shall maintain records showing the number of shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock so converted by such Holder and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Corporation, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Corporation establishing the number of shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock shall be convertible by a Holder to the extent (but only to the extent) that such conversion would result in such Holder and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 19.99% of the Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). To the extent the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applies, the determination of whether the shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock held by such Holder shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by such Holder) shall, subject to such Beneficial Ownership Limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Corporation for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability of a Holder to convert shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or issuance (as the case may be). For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that in effecting any conversion, the Corporation shall be entitled to assume that no Holder, together with its affiliates, beneficially owns more than 19.99% of the Common Stock unless written notice specifying the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially held by such Holder and its affiliates is sent to the Corporation by the Holder within the three Business Day period before the date of the automatic conversion.

**** | Indicates that the amount of information omitted was a page or more in length, and such information has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions |
The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Corporation may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two Business Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Upon the earliest to occur of the events described in the following clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this Section 6(b), each outstanding share of Series 19 Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series 19 Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (A) on the 30th day after the Original Issue Date, (B) on the date on which 5,000 or less shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock remain outstanding, or (C) immediately upon the adoption by the Board of a resolution that it intends to adopt an amendment to the Restated Articles without shareholder approval to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Stock and the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in the same proportions in order to achieve compliance with the listing rules of The NASDAQ Capital Market or for other good-faith business reasons.
Upon a Conversion Date, a Holder shall be required to forthwith surrender any certificate(s) representing such shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock to the Corporation within two Trading Days of the date established for such conversion and set forth in a written notice from the Corporation; provided, however, that the failure by a Holder to surrender the certificate(s) representing such converted shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock shall not prevent the Corporation from delivering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon automatic conversion thereof and, upon receipt of such consideration by such Holder, such shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock shall be converted for all purposes hereunder.
(c) Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Series 19 Preferred Stock shall equal $1.914, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Conversion Price”).
(d) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Delivery of Certificate upon Conversion. Not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date, whether pursuant to Section 6(a) or (b), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a certificate or certificates, which shall be free of restrictive legends and issuer-imposed trading restrictions (provided that a registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares is then in effect), representing the number of shares of

**** | Indicates that the amount of information omitted was a page or more in length, and such information has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions |
Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall use its best efforts to, if the Holder is not an affiliate of the Corporation, deliver any certificate(s) required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through The Depository Trust Company or its nominee (“DTC”) or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions (provided that a registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares is then in effect). If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate(s) are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the seventh Trading Day after the Conversion Date, then (without limiting the Holder’s other rights and remedies hereunder for the Corporation’s failure to comply with its obligations under the preceding portion of this paragraph) the applicable Holder shall be entitled to elect to rescind such Conversion Notice by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate(s), in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to such Holder any original Series 19 Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and such Holder shall promptly return any Common Stock certificates representing the shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock tendered for conversion to the Corporation.
(ii) Obligation Absolute. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof is absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Series 19 Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series 19 Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained. In the absence of such an injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
(iii) Reservation of Shares Issuable upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times use reasonable best efforts to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series 19 Preferred Stock, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders of the Series 19 Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

**** | Indicates that the amount of information omitted was a page or more in length, and such information has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions |
(iv) Fractional Shares. Upon a conversion of the Series 19 Preferred Stock hereunder, the Corporation shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock, but shall instead, if otherwise permitted, round the total number of Conversion Shares for such conversion up or down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.
(v) Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp, issuance or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series 19 Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.
Section 7. Certain Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series 19 Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of the Series 19 Preferred Stock); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (D) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and any other adjustments to the Holders’ conversion rights necessary to reflect such event shall be made. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series 19 Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not proportionately to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the VWAP on the record date for such issuance, and do not offer the same rights to the Holders, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to reflect such rights, options or warrants offering by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before the record date for such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered (assuming delivery to the Corporation in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP on the record date for such issuance and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the aggregate number of additional shares of Common Stock offered

**** | Indicates that the amount of information omitted was a page or more in length, and such information has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions |
for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
(c) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series 19 Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes (other than as a dividend) to all holders of Common Stock (and not proportionately to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (other than Common Stock, which shall be subject to Section 7(b)), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately before the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets, evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holders describing the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above. For avoidance of doubt, distributions that are dividends shall be subject to Section 3(a) and not subject to this Section 7(c).
(d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Series 19 Preferred Stock is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction occurs, then, upon any subsequent conversion of the Series 19 Preferred Stock, the Holders shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately before the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately before such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”); and the Holders shall no longer have the right to receive Conversion Shares per se upon such conversion. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of the Series 19 Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall adopt articles of incorporation or an amendment to its articles of incorporation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. Unless the Corporation elects to treat such Fundamental Transaction as a Liquidation, the terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(d) and ensuring that the Series 19 Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

BAXTER AND CELL THERAPEUTICS ANNOUNCE WORLDWIDE STRATEGIC COLLABORATION TO DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE PACRITINIB – PAGE TWO
Under the terms of the agreement, Baxter gains exclusive commercialization rights for all indications for pacritinib outside the United States and Baxter and CTI will jointly commercialize pacritinib in the United States. Baxter will make an upfront payment of $60 million, including an equity investment in CTI of $30 million. In addition, CTI is eligible to receive clinical, regulatory, and commercial launch milestone payments of up to $112 million, $40 million of which relates to clinical milestones that may be achieved in 2014. Assuming regulatory approval and commercial launch, CTI may receive additional sales milestone payments. CTI will receive royalties on net sales of pacritinib in ex-US markets, and the companies will share U.S. profits equally. Baxter will record a special pre-tax in-process research and development charge in the fourth quarter of 2013 of approximately $30 million.
“The collaboration will complement Xxxxxx’x existing oncology business and growing oncology pipeline, and will leverage our global commercialization capacity to extend the availability of pacritinib, which we believe has the potential to address a significant unmet medical need,” said Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Ph.D., president of Baxter BioScience. “As an established leader in hematology and rare diseases, we are committed to advancing novel therapies in an effort to broaden patient access to care.”
“We believe Baxter represents the ideal strategic partner to achieve the full potential of pacritinib,” said Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, M.D., President and CEO of CTI. “Our two companies share a dedication to oncology and a vision for bringing this unique oral JAK2/FLT3 inhibitor to patients with certain blood cancers and solid tumors.

BAXTER AND CELL THERAPEUTICS ANNOUNCE WORLDWIDE STRATEGIC COLLABORATION TO DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE PACRITINIB – PAGE THREE
Pacritinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with dual activity against JAK2 and FLT3. The JAK family of enzymes is a central component in signal transduction pathways, which are critical to normal blood cell growth and development as well as inflammatory cytokine expression and immune responses. Mutations in these kinases have been shown to be directly related to the development of certain blood related cancers including myeloproliferative neoplasms, leukemia and lymphoma.
About the Pacritinib Phase III Program
Results from earlier Phase I and II studies of pacritinib demonstrated encouraging results, including meaningful clinical benefits coupled with good tolerability among patients with advanced myelofibrosis. Based on the efficacy and tolerability profile demonstrated to date, the pivotal program for pacritinib includes two Phase III clinical trials: PERSIST-1 is studying efficacy and safety in a broad set of patients with myelofibrosis without limitations on blood platelet counts, and PERSIST-2 will evaluate efficacy and safety in patients with low platelet counts, and is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2013.

This press release includes forward-looking statements concerning a collaboration agreement between Xxxxxx International Inc. and Cell Therapeutics Inc., which are within the meaning of the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, the outcome of which could materially and/or adversely affect actual future results and the trading price of the issuers’ securities. Such statements include, but are not limited to, expectations with respect to milestone and royalty payments, the expected benefits of the collaboration and the ability to maximize the potential of pacritinib and extend its applicability to additional malignancies, including solid tumors. The statements are based on assumptions about many important factors, including the following, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: satisfaction of regulatory and other requirements; actions of regulatory bodies and other governmental authorities; clinical trial results; changes in laws and regulations; product quality or patient safety issues; product development risks; the impact of competitive products and pricing and reimbursement; and other risks identified in each issuer’s most recent filings on Form 10-K and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Neither Baxter nor CTI undertakes to update its forward-looking statements.

Exhibit 16.13
Alternative Dispute Resolution
(a) In accordance with and subject to the procedures set forth in Section 3.1.6 and Section 16.13, and without adding any additional time to such procedures, the Parties shall attempt to resolve any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the controversy. If such disputes, claims or controversies are not resolved through such negotiation or the Section 3.1.6 and Section 16.13 procedures, then they shall be submitted for final and binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration clause set forth below. Either Party may initiate arbitration with respect to the matters submitted to negotiation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial negotiation session.
(b) To the extent not resolved by mediation, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in New York, NY, in the language in which the contract was written. The arbitration shall be administered by the CPR pursuant to its Arbitration Rules and Procedures. References herein to any arbitration rules or procedures mean such rules or procedures as amended from time to time, including any successor rules or procedures, and references herein to the CPR include any successor thereto. The arbitration shall be before three (3) arbitrators. Each Party shall designate one arbitrator in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in Rule 5.4 of the CPR Rules. The two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators will select the third, who will serve as the panel’s chair or president. All three (3) arbitrators shall have experience in biotechnology licensing, development and/or commercialization matters. This arbitration provision, and the arbitration itself, shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.
(c) Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, each Party will, upon the written request of the other Party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents on which the producing Party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim or defense. At the request of a Party, the arbitrators shall have the discretion to order examination by deposition of witnesses to the extent the arbitrator deems such additional discovery relevant and appropriate. Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of five per Party and shall be held within forty-five (45) days of the grant of a request. Additional depositions may be scheduled only with the permission of the arbitrators, and for good cause shown. Each deposition shall be limited to a maximum of one day’s duration. All objections are reserved for the arbitration hearing except for objections based on privilege and proprietary or confidential information. The Parties shall not utilize any other discovery mechanisms, including international processes and U.S.

federal statutes, to obtain additional evidence for use in the arbitration. Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrators, which determination shall be conclusive. All discovery shall be completed within sixty (60) days following the appointment of the arbitrators. All costs and/or fees relating to the retrieval, review and production of electronic discovery shall be paid by the Party requesting such discovery.
(d) The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing Party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. Each Party expressly waives and foregoes any right to consequential, punitive, special, exemplary or similar damages or lost profits. The arbitrators shall have no power or authority, under the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration or otherwise, to relieve the Parties from their agreement hereunder to arbitrate or otherwise to amend or disregard any provision of this Agreement. The award of the arbitrators shall be final, binding and the sole and exclusive remedy to the Parties. Either Party may seek to confirm and enforce any final award entered in arbitration, in any court of competent jurisdiction. The cost of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrators, shall be borne by the Party the arbitrator determines has not prevailed in the arbitration.
(e) If an arbitral award does not impose an injunction on the losing Party or contain a money damages award in excess of five million dollars USD ($5,000,000), then the arbitral award shall not be appealable and shall only be subject to such challenges as would otherwise be permissible under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. In the event that the arbitration does result in an arbitral award, which imposes an injunction or a monetary award in excess of five million dollars USD ($5,000,000), such award may be appealed to a tribunal of appellate arbitrators via the CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure.
(f) Except as may be required by law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.
