Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, and XOMA Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("XOMA"),
with its principal offices at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000.
WHEREAS, Incyte owns and/or controls certain patent rights relating to
bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein ("BPI") or
lipopolysaccharide-binding protein ("LBP") molecules and related technology that
XOMA desires to license from Incyte, and Incyte is willing to grant such
licenses to XOMA; and
WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution hereof, XOMA is delivering to
Incyte (a) a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock,
par value $.0005 per share, of XOMA ("Common Stock") and (b) a registration
rights agreement, dated the Effective Date (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"), relating to the registration of the Advance Shares and the
Underlying Shares, as such terms are defined herein;
-2-
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein, Incyte and XOMA agree as follows:
Section 1. Defnitions. As used in this Agreement, the following words will
have the following meanings:

-3-
limitation (i) those patents listed on Exhibit 1.4 hereto, (ii) any such
patents or patent rights, if any, licensed or otherwise acquired from
collaborators, (iii) any patents or patent applications related to any of
the foregoing as continuations, continuations-in-part, divisions,
extensions, reissues or renewals or substitutions and (iv) any foreign
counterparts of any of the foregoing.
1.5. "Licensed Product" shall mean any formulation or product or

or developed by it or on its behalf. XOMA shall make any sublicensee hereunder
aware of the terms and obligations of this Agreement, and such sublicensee shall
agree in writing to be bound by terms and conditions consistent with this
Agreement.
-7-
Section 3. Royalties
3.1. Payment. XOMA shall pay Incyte, on a country-by-country basis, a
royalty of [*] of Net Sales of all Licensed Products sold by
XOMA and its sublicensees in the United States or in any other country
where there exists a Valid Claim of an Incyte Patent; provided, that in no
event shall royalties payable under this Agreement exceed U.S.$11,500,000
in the aggregate (converted, as necessary, in accordance with Section 3.5)
and provided further, that if at any time during the term hereof the
royalties (including any and all prepayments thereof) paid hereunder shall
reach U.S. $11,500,000, the license granted herein shall become a fully
paid up, perpetual license, with no further royalties due thereafter. XOMA
shall be entitled to credit royalties due under this Section 3.1, in the
order in which the payment obligations for such royalties arise, against
the initial payment made by XOMA under Section 3.2(a) and any additional
prepayments made under Section 3.2(c). XOMA's obligation to pay such
royalties shall continue during the term of this Agreement, subject to the
foregoing provisos, with respect to any Licensed Product in any country for
so long as there is a Valid Claim of an Incyte Patent existing in that
-8-
country which the sale of a Licensed Product in that country would infringe
but for the license granted herein. In no event shall XOMA be required to
pay more than one royalty on the same Licensed Product.
3.2. Initial Payment; Prepayments. (a) XOMA will make an initial,
nonrefundable payment to Incyte in the amount of U.S. $1,500,000. Such
payment will be made within ten (10) days after the Effective Date in a
combination of (i) shares of Common Stock having an aggregate market value
based on the Market Price on the Effective Date of $750,000 (the "Advance
Shares") and (ii) $750,000 in cash. Incyte acknowledges that the
certificates representing the Advance Shares shall initially bear the
legend set forth on Exhibit 3.2(a) hereto.
(b) In the event that the registration statement relating to the
resale by Incyte of the Advance Shares required to be filed pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement (i) is not filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") within 30 days of the Effective Date or
(ii) is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the 60th day after
the filing thereof (which 60-day period shall be extended by an additional
60 days in the event that XOMA is notified that such registration statement
will be reviewed by the SEC), then XOMA shall,
-9-
within five business days following receipt by XOMA of a written request
from Incyte delivered after the expiration of the applicable 30-, 60- or
120-day period, repurchase the Advance Shares from Incyte for cash at a
price equal to their aggregate Market Price on the Effective Date.
(c) XOMA may, at its option, prepay its royalty obligations under
Section 3.1, at any time prior to such obligation becoming payable
hereunder as set forth in Section 3.3, either (i) in cash or (ii) at the
election of XOMA, but subject to the fulfillment of the conditions, and in
accordance with the other provisions, set forth in Section 3.7 below, in
shares of Common Stock having a market value based on the Market Price as
of the Registration Effectiveness Date (as defined in Section 3.7(b)(iii)
below) equal to the amount of the obligation being prepaid or (iii) in any
combination of (i) and (ii). In addition, XOMA may, at its option, consent
to the immediate application of any amount(s) to be paid in exercise of all
or any portion(s) of the Warrant to the prepayment of royalty obligations
under Section 3.1 that have not yet become payable hereunder as set forth
in Section 3.3, such that no cash payment by Incyte will be required upon
such exercise of the Warrant to the extent of the amounts so applied, all
in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth
-10-
in the Warrant. Any prepayments referred to in this Section 3.2(c) shall be
nonrefundable.
3.3. Payment Dates. Except as provided in Section 3.2, royalties
payable hereunder shall be paid in cash within forty-five (45) days from
the end of each calendar quarter for Net Sales during the preceding
quarter. Such payment shall be accompanied by a statement showing the
following:
(i) gross sales of Licensed Products and Combination Products,
i.e., the amount invoiced prior to any deductions,
(ii) the deductions permitted under Section 1.7 hereof to arrive
at Net Sales, and
(iii) the royalty computations and subject of payment.
3.4. Records and Accounting. (a) XOMA shall keep, and require its
sublicensees hereunder to keep, for a period of at least three years after
the date of entry, complete and accurate records, in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles (or comparable
international accounting principles), of Net Sales with respect to which a
royalty is payable under this
-11-
Agreement. All royalties payable under Section 3.1 shall accrue based on
sales of Licensed Products as and when recorded by XOMA or its sublicensees
in its or their accounting records.
(b) Incyte shall have the right at its own expense to have an
independent, certified public accountant, selected as set forth herein,
review XOMA's or its sublicensee's records upon reasonable notice and
during reasonable business hours for the sole purpose of verifying the
accuracy of the payments provided for in this Agreement. If Incyte desires
to have such review performed, Incyte shall notify XOMA and shall designate
a nationally-recognized accounting firm which is reasonably acceptable to
XOMA (including in light of any past relationship of such firm with XOMA).
The inspection right provided for in this Section 3.4 may not be exercised
more than once for any calendar year with respect to XOMA's or its
sublicensee's records. Should such review lead to the discovery of an
underreporting of royalties due hereunder, subject to Section 11.12, such
royalties shall be promptly remitted with interest at an annual rate of [*]
to Incyte. In addition, subject to Section 11.12, if the underreporting is
greater than five percent (5%), XOMA, in addition to promptly pay-
-12-
ing any unpaid royalties, shall pay the reasonable cost of such review.
3.5. Currency of Payments. All cash payments under this Agreement
shall be made in United States Dollars by check payable to the order of
Incyte or by wire transfer to such bank account as Incyte may designate
from time to time. Any payments invoiced in currencies other than United
States Dollars shall first be calculated in the currency in which the sales
are invoiced and then converted to United States Dollars at the exchange
rate being used by XOMA in maintaining its accounting records for the
period for which royalties are payable.
3.6. Combination Product Net Sales. In determining the Net Sales of
Combination Products, Net Sales shall first be calculated in accordance
with the definition of Net Sales and then multiplied by the percentage
value of the Licensed Product contained in the Combination Product, such
percentage value being the quotient obtained by dividing the costs of
manufacturing the Licensed Product by the sum of the cost of the
manufacturing of the Licensed Product plus other Biologically Active
ingredients.
3.7. Prepayments in Stock. (a) Although all regular, semi-annual
royalty payments pursuant to Section 3.3
-13-
shall be paid in cash, XOMA may elect to prepay all or any portion of its
royalty obligations under Section 3.1 by delivery of shares of Common Stock
to the extent the following conditions have been satisfied:
(i) The shares of Common Stock delivered in prepayment shall have
a market value based on the Market Price as of the Registration
Effectiveness Date equal to the amount of such prepayment; and
(ii) All shares of Common Stock delivered in prepayment shall,
upon issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable and free of any preemptive rights.
(b) In order to elect to make such a prepayment, XOMA shall follow the
following procedures:
(i) On the day (which shall be a business day) that XOMA elects
to make a prepayment hereunder (the "Prepayment Notice Date"), some
portion of which is to consist of shares of Common Stock (such
portion, the "Stock Prepayment"), XOMA shall provide Incyte with a
notice of its intention to do so, setting forth the amount of the
Stock Prepayment to be made and the number of shares of Common Stock
to be ini-
-14-
tially issued in payment thereof (the "Initial Prepayment Shares"),
based on the Market Price as of the Prepayment Notice Date. The
Initial Prepayment Shares shall be deemed issued by XOMA, with Incyte
as the record holder thereof, as of the Prepayment Notice Date but
shall be held by XOMA (or the transfer agent for the Common Stock) on
behalf of Incyte until required to be delivered as set forth below.
(ii) XOMA shall then register the Initial Prepayment Shares, and
Incyte shall cooperate in such registration, as provided in the
Registration Rights Agreement. In the event that the registration
statement relating to the resale by Incyte of the Initial Prepayment
Shares required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement (A) is not filed with the SEC within 30 days of the
Prepayment Notice Date or (B) is not declared effective by the SEC on
or prior to the 60th day after the filing thereof (which 60-day period
shall be extended by an additional 60 days in the event that XOMA is
notified that such registration statement will be reviewed by the
SEC), then XOMA shall, within five business days following receipt by
XOMA of a written request from Incyte delivered at the expiration of
the applicable
-15-
30-, 60- or 120-day period, repurchase the Initial Prepayment Shares
from Incyte for cash at a price equal to their aggregate Market Price
as of the Prepayment Notice Date.
(iii) In the event that the Market Price as of the date on which
the registration statement relating to the resale by Incyte of the
Initial Prepayment Shares is declared effective by the SEC (the
"Registration Effectiveness Date") is less than or equal to the Market
Price as of the Prepayment Notice Date, then XOMA shall (A) not later
than three business days after the Registration Effectiveness Date,
deliver to Incyte or its designee a certificate or certificates in the
name of Incyte representing the Initial Prepayment Shares and (B) pay
to Incyte an amount in cash equal to the difference, if any, between
the amount of the Stock Payment and the aggregate market value of the
Initial Prepayment Shares based on the Market Price as of the
Registration Effectiveness Date.
(iv) In the event that the Market Price as of the Registration
Effectiveness Date is greater than the Market Price as of the
Prepayment Notice Date,
-16-
then XOMA shall (A) not later than three business days after the
Registration Effectiveness Date, deliver to Incyte or its designee a
certificate or certificates in the name of Incyte representing a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of the Stock
Prepayment divided by the Market Price as of the Registration
Effectiveness Date, and (B) return to XOMA, on behalf of Incyte, and
cancel that number of the Initial Prepayment Shares by which the total
number of Initial Prepayment Shares exceeds the number of shares of
Common Stock represented by the certificate or certificates delivered
pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (A).
Section 4. Prosecution. (a) Promptly after the Effective Date, XOMA shall
assume and be responsible for the prosecution and maintenance of the Incyte
Patents at XOMA's expense. If XOMA finds it necessary to involve Incyte in any
such prosecution, Incyte shall execute all papers and perform such other acts as
may be reasonably required and, at its option and expense, may utilize counsel
of its choice. In the event XOMA lacks the legal status required for any such
prosecution, then XOMA may cause Incyte to do so or take such steps as are
reasonably necessary to give XOMA the required status to take such action. The
strategy of such prosecutions shall be controlled
-17-
by XOMA upon reasonable consultation with Incyte (which consultation shall be at
Incyte's expense).
(b) XOMA shall pay for any annual maintenance fee payable to the United
States Patent & Trademark Office or any similar annual fee required by foreign
patent authorities with respect to any issued Incyte Patent licensed hereunder
and shall be responsible for any and all other costs and expenses related to the
prosecution and maintenance of the Incyte Patents.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4(a) and (b), XOMA may, upon
30 days' prior written notice to Incyte of its intention to do so, abandon or
otherwise terminate or cause Incyte to abandon or otherwise terminate any Incyte
Patent filed or to be filed in a country or territory outside the Principal
Countries; provided, that if and when the license granted herein becomes fully
paid up in accordance with Section 3 hereof, XOMA shall also, in addition to the
foregoing, have the right, upon such notice, to abandon or otherwise terminate
or cause Incyte to abandon or otherwise terminate any Incyte Patent filed or to
be filed in any of the Principal Countries. Following receipt of any such
notice, Incyte may, at its option and expense, assume and be responsible for the
prosecution and maintenance of the Incyte Patent to which such
-18-
notice relates, without affecting the status of such patent as an Incyte Patent
licensed to XOMA hereunder.
Section 5. Third Party Infringement. Incyte shall notify XOMA promptly when
(and in no event more than 90 days after) it becomes aware of the activities of
any third party which it believes infringe any of the Incyte Patents. XOMA shall
have the sole right (but not the obligation), at its expense, to bring and
maintain any appropriate suit or action involving such infringement, whether
such infringement is first noticed by XOMA or Incyte. Any and all damages or
other payments (including without limitation any royalties) recovered or
received as a consequence of any such suit or action (including any settlement
thereof) shall be exclusively for XOMA's benefit, and Incyte shall have no right
thereto or interest therein. If XOMA finds it necessary to join Incyte in such
suit or action, Incyte shall execute all papers and perform such other acts as
may be reasonably required (including consent to being named as plaintiff in
such action) and, at its option and expense, may be represented by counsel of
its choice. In the event XOMA lacks standing to bring any such action, then XOMA
may cause Incyte to do so or to take such steps as are reasonably necessary to
give XOMA standing to take such action. With respect to any such suit or action
in which XOMA joins Incyte or which XOMA causes Incyte to bring, XOMA agrees, to
the extent permit-
-19-
xxx by law, to indemnify and defend Incyte against any losses, claims or damages
incurred by Incyte resulting from any counterclaim brought against Incyte by the
defendant in such suit or action. The litigation strategy and any settlement of
any proceedings referred to in this Section 5 shall be controlled by XOMA.
Section 6. Oppositions and Interferences. (a) Promptly after execution of
this Agreement by XOMA and Incyte (the "Parties" and each, a "Party"), Incyte
shall withdraw from any and all patent opposition proceedings, including appeal
proceedings, relating to the XOMA Patents. Incyte agrees not to enter into any
future opposition to and/or appeal from any decision on the XOMA Patents and
shall not assist or otherwise cooperate with another party in any such
opposition or appeal.
(b) The two pending interference proceedings involving the Parties shall be
resolved in accordance with the terms of Exhibits 6(b)-1 and 6(b)-2 hereto. The
settlement of such proceedings shall be effected by XOMA and in accordance with
Exhibits 6(b)-1 and 6(b)-2. Incyte agrees not to commence or voluntarily
participate in, or assist or otherwise cooperate with any other party in, any
suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, any interference proceeding),
or otherwise
-20-
assert any claim challenging or denying the validity of any claim contained in
any XOMA Patent.
Section 7. Covenants Not to Sue. (a) Incyte covenants that it will not
hereafter cause or assist in the assertion, instigation, maintenance or pursuit
of any claim for breach of this Agreement, infringement, contributory
infringement or inducement of infringement based on (i) any patent now or
hereafter owned, licensed, acquired or otherwise controlled by it against XOMA
or its distributors or customers, for the making, using, selling or importing of
Licensed Products or (ii) the Incyte Patents against XOMA or its distributors or
customers, for the making, using, selling or importing of the Licensed Products.
For purposes of this Section 7, the terms "Incyte" and "XOMA" shall include each
such Party on behalf of itself, each of their respective parents and
subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, employees,
partners, representatives, agents, subcontractors, sublicensees, distributors,
successors and assigns.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2, XOMA covenants that it
will not hereafter cause or assist in the assertion, instigation, maintenance or
pursuit of any claim based on the Incyte Patents for breach of this Agreement,
infringement, contributory infringement, or in-
-21-
ducement of infringement against Incyte or its customers or collaborators based
on their use of nucleotide and amino acid sequences of BPI or LBP in the
"Research Field of Use." For purposes of this Section 7(b), "Research Field of
Use" means the [*].
Section 8. Representations and Warranties. (a) Each Party represents and
warrants to the other Party that (i) it has full right, power and authority to
enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder without
consent or approval of any third person; and (ii) it is not subject to any
restriction which would impair its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

best knowledge of Incyte, threatened actions, suits, investigations,
claims or proceedings in any way relating to the Incyte Patents other

technology other than the Incyte Patents;
-23-
(v) neither Genentech, Inc. nor Incyte has discovered, developed

(vi) Incyte has terminated its development and other business
activities relating to BPI and LBP molecules and related technology

and the Underlying Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable; and (ii) the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement
represent duly authorized, valid and binding obligations of XOMA enforceable
against XOMA in accordance with their respective terms, except (A) as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors'
rights generally or subject to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (B)
with respect to the Registration Rights
-26-

Section 9. Term and Termination
9.1. Term. This Agreement shall expire and be of no further force and
effect on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date unless, on or prior
to such date, the license granted herein becomes fully paid up in
accordance with Section 3 hereof.
9.2. Termination. Failure by XOMA to comply with any of its material
obligations contained in (i) this Agreement with respect to any particular
country to which this license pertains, (ii) the Warrant or (iii) the
Registration Rights Agreement shall entitle Incyte to give XOMA notice
specifying the nature of the default and requiring it to cure such default.
If such default is not cured (in the case of this Agreement, with respect
to that particular country) within the forty-five (45) day period after the
receipt of such notice, Incyte shall be entitled, except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement and without prejudice to any of its
other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, to terminate all or part of
this Agreement or the licenses granted herein (but, in the case of a
material breach under this Agree-
-27-
ment with respect to a particular country, then only with respect to that
country); provided, that if XOMA shall have commenced its good faith
efforts to cure such default, except for a default in XOMA's payment
obligations under this Agreement, within such forty-five (45) day period,
then such right to terminate shall be suspended for as long as such efforts
continue; provided, further, that this Section 9.2 shall be of no further
force and effect if and when the license granted herein becomes fully paid
up in accordance with Section 3 hereof.
9.3. Survival of Provisions. The obligations of the Parties under
Sections 10.4 and 11.10 (but only to the extent such obligations remain
unfulfilled at termination) shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.

Exhibits hereto), the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement
constitute the entire agreement between the Parties regarding the subject
matter hereof and thereof, and there are no prior written or oral promises

11.5. Waiver. The waiver by a Party hereto of any breach of or default
under any of the provisions of this
-32-
Agreement or the failure of a Party to enforce any of the provisions of
this Agreement or to exercise any right thereunder shall not be construed
as a waiver of any other breach or default or as a waiver of any such
rights or provisions hereunder.
11.6. Severability. If any part of this Agreement shall be invalid or
unenforceable under applicable law, such part shall be ineffective only to
the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without in any way

is ineffective shall be deemed reformed in such a manner as to as nearly
approximate the intent of the Parties as possible.
11.7. Publicity. Neither Incyte nor XOMA shall issue any public
statement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

requested and not received and such Party concludes (after consulting with

-33-
sure has been previously approved pursuant to this Section 11.7.

Party in connection with any breach by the first Party of the provisions
hereof.
-34-
11.11. Non-competition. For the term of the license granted under this
Agreement, Incyte agrees that it will not compete with XOMA or its
sublicensees or assignees with respect to, or otherwise engage in any
research, development, marketing or other business activities relating to,
BPI or LBP molecules or related technology except as such molecules may be
used in connection with the Excluded Technologies. The Parties agree that
the foregoing covenant imposes a reasonable restraint on Incyte in light of
the Parties' respective activities and businesses and their respective
current and future plans, including without limitation (a) Incyte's desire
not to pursue the activities described above and consequent willingness to
grant the license herein on an exclusive (even as to Incyte) basis and (b)
XOMA's development plans for BPI- and/or LBP-related products, which
include investments it would not otherwise be prepared to make without the
grant of the license herein on such exclusive basis.
11.12. Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree that any dispute,
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the
breach, termination, or invalidity thereof (including without limitation
any dispute relating to the amount of any royalty), shall be resolved
through negotiation and mediation. If a dispute arises
-35-
between the Parties, the Parties agree to try in good faith to resolve such
dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association
in accordance with its Commercial Mediation Rules. The mediation proceeding
shall be conducted at the location of the Party not originally requesting
the resolution of the dispute. The Parties agree that they shall share
equally the cost of the mediation filing and hearing fees, and the cost of
the mediator. Each Party must bear its own attorney's fees and associated
costs and expenses. Any dispute which cannot be so resolved shall be
submitted exclusively to the federal courts located in San Francisco
County, California, and the Parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction and
venue of such court.
11.13. Further Assurances. Each Party shall do and perform, or cause
to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments
and documents, as the other Party may reasonably request in order to carry
out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
-36-
11.14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute
one and the same agreement.
-37-
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned parties have agreed to the foregoing as
