Throughout the Research Term, Ambrx shall assign no less than the number of qualified scientist FTEs in accordance with this Section 3.4 to perform the work set forth in the then-applicable Research Plan. The mixture of skills and levels of such FTEs shall be appropriate to the scientific objectives of the Research Program.

(b) Changes to the Number of Funded FTEs. If the activities contemplated by the Research Plan at any time do not justify the number of Ambrx FTEs allocated to the Research Program, the Parties will work in good faith to mutually agree to modify the scope of the Research Plan or adjust the number of BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs. Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, any changes requested by BMS to the number of BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs (whether a decrease or an increase) during the Research Term shall require that BMS provide Ambrx with six (6) months prior written notice before such change in the number of BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs becomes effective, provided that (x) any increase in the number of BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs above the number of BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs set forth in the initial Research Plan as of the Effective Date shall be subject to the availability of such additional Ambrx FTEs (provided that Ambrx shall use Diligent Efforts to hire and otherwise make available such additional FTEs) and (y) in no event will BMS have the right to increase the number of Ambrx FTEs to exceed eight (8) FTEs in total without Ambrx’s prior written consent. The FTE Rate during the Research Term for up to eight (8) FTEs shall be [***] per FTE per year. The FTE Rate during the Research Term for any FTEs in excess of eight (8) FTEs in a given year shall be [***] per FTE per year. Any changes to the Research Plan and assignment and allocation of work to be performed by the BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs shall require the approval of the JRC, provided that if the JRC is unable to reach consensus, BMS shall have final decision making authority, subject to Section 3.3. In exercising such final decision making authority, BMS shall not have the right to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For clarity, the number of BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs will be consistent with the amount of work required under the Research Plan, subject to Ambrx’s right to approve any Ambrx FTEs in excess of eight (8) FTEs in total. At least six (6) months prior to the beginning of any extension of the Research Term, the JRC will make a nonbinding, good faith estimate of the number of Ambrx FTEs to be provided and funded by BMS to perform the Research Program during such extension of the Research Term. At least three (3) months prior to the beginning of any extension of the Research Term, the JRC shall determine the number of Ambrx FTEs to be provided and funded by BMS to perform the Research Program during such Research Year of the Research Term, provided that if the JRC is unable to reach consensus, BMS shall have final decision making authority with respect to the number of BMS funded Ambrx FTEs, subject to Section 3.3 and this Section 3.4.

(c) FTE Funding; Research Program Costs. Ambrx will bear its own costs, including costs related to routine laboratory supplies and applicable overhead costs, in performing its obligations under the Research Program, provided that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including this Section 3.4(c)), BMS will make a payment to Ambrx for the BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs and Third Party Costs specified in the Budget, as may be amended in accordance with Section 3.3 and this Section 3.4 (such FTE and Third Party Costs being the “Research Program Costs”).

The number of BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs shall be established in accordance with Section 3.4(a) and (b), and BMS shall fund such Ambrx FTEs at the FTE Rate. Such FTE payment obligation of BMS will be

- 18 - 

subject to Ambrx providing such qualified FTE scientists. Such FTE payment obligation shall be payable in advance on a calendar quarter-to-calendar quarter basis due within [***] after the first day of the applicable calendar quarter; provided, however, that the payments for the first calendar quarter and the last calendar quarter of the Research Program Term shall be made on a pro rata basis. No later than thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter, Ambrx will provide BMS with a report of the number of FTEs assigned to the Research Program with a summary of their activities. Ambrx shall report to BMS a listing of the Ambrx scientists comprising such FTEs and their percentage of time devoted to working on the Research Program. If BMS has concern regarding any specific scientist assigned to the Research Program, such concerns shall be communicated to the JRC for its consideration.

Ambrx shall invoice BMS for the Third Party Costs incurred by Ambrx for a given calendar quarter within forty-five (45) days following the end of such calendar quarter. Subject to this Section 3.4(c), such invoice for such Third Party Costs reimbursable by BMS shall be payable within forty-five (45) days after BMS receives such invoice. With respect to any particular line item of Third Party Cost incurred by Ambrx, BMS shall not be responsible for payment to Ambrx for such line item of cost incurred that is in excess of [***] of the amount specified for such line item of cost in the Budget, unless BMS agrees otherwise in writing. For clarity, the limitations on reimbursement of Third Party Costs discussed in the immediately preceding sentence shall not affect Ambrx’s ability to be reimbursed for amounts that are included as line items for a calendar quarter, but due to timing differences, are incurred in a calendar quarter other than the one in which they were originally budgeted, so long as such Third Party Costs do not exceed the budgeted line item amount in the aggregate.

3.5 Responsibility for Expenses for Conduct of Research Program. Except as set forth in Section 3.4 or as may be otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by Ambrx and BMS, each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses that it incurs in connection with the conduct of the Research Program.

For any Patents that become Ex-US Product Specific Patents after the Effective Date (i.e., by virtue of being filed after the Effective Date), Ambrx shall assign, and hereby does assign effective as of the date that such Patent becomes an Ex-US Product Specific Patent, one half (1/2) of its right, title and interest in and to each such Patents to BMS within ninety (90) days after such Patents are deemed to have become Ex-US Product Specific Patents. BMS shall provide to Ambrx and Ambrx shall execute and deliver to BMS, at BMS’ expense, mutually agreed upon documents in the forms required in the applicable jurisdictions in order to perfect the assignment to BMS of the one-half (1/2) interest in and to any post-Effective Date Ex-US Product Specific Patents. BMS shall be responsible for recording all such assignments and Ambrx shall reasonably cooperate, at BMS’ expense, with BMS’ efforts to do so. Notwithstanding such assignment, the Ex-US Product Specific Patents shall remain Ambrx Patents.

(b) The assignment of Ex-US Product Specific Patents to BMS pursuant to Section 7.8(a) shall in no way alter BMS’ royalty obligations with respect to such Ex-US Product Specific Patents as set forth in this Agreement. An Ex-US Product Specific Patent shall not become a Joint Patent or a BMS Patent by reason of the assignment contemplated by this Section 7.8, and shall at all times remain an Ambrx Patent which is a Product Specific Patent. In addition, (i) Ambrx shall have the right to exploit, license and grant a security interest in (in all cases, subject to and without limiting the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Ambrx’s obligations and the rights and licenses granted to BMS under this Agreement, to the extent then in effect) the Ex-US Product Specific Patents without the consent of or a duty of accounting to BMS; (ii) BMS shall not practice the Ex-US Product Specific Patents outside the scope of the licenses granted to BMS in Article 7; (iii) BMS shall have the right to grant licenses under the Ex-US Product Specific Patents only in accordance with its sublicensing rights under Section 7.2, and BMS shall not encumber the Ex-US Product Specific Patents; and (iv) BMS shall not have any rights with respect to the Ex-US Product Specific Patents beyond the scope of the rights conferred pursuant to the license granted in Section 7.1.

(c) For any Patents that cease to be Ex-US Product Specific Patents at any time during the Term by virtue of an amendment of the claims, BMS shall assign, and hereby does assign effective as of

- 30 - 

the date that Ambrx notifies BMS in writing that such Patent is no longer an Ex-US Product Specific Patent, its entire right, title and interest in and to each such Patent to Ambrx or Ambrx’s designee, and BMS appoints, effective as of the date of such notice from Ambrx, Ambrx as its attorney in fact solely to make such re-assignments and authorizes Ambrx to make such re-assignments. In each case, BMS shall execute and deliver to Ambrx a deed(s) of such assignment, in a mutually agreeable form, within thirty (30) days after the date such Patent ceased to be an Ex-US Product Specific Patent. Ambrx shall be responsible for recording all such assignments and BMS and its successors and assigns shall (a) reasonably cooperate with Ambrx’s efforts to do so, including satisfying the assignment and recording requirements of relevant patent offices and (b) reimburse Ambrx for all expenses incurred by Ambrx in connection with this Section 7.8(c). In addition, BMS hereby grants Ambrx an exclusive, fully sublicensable license under its interest in each such former Ex-US Product Specific Patent during the period from the date such Patent ceased to be an Ex-US Product Specific Patent until such former Ex-US Product Specific Patent is actually re-assigned to Ambrx.

7.9 Security Interest in US Product Specific Patents

(a) Subject to Section 7.9(g), Ambrx hereby grants to BMS a first priority security interest and lien in and to each US Product Specific Patent (the “Ambrx Collateral”) to secure the Ambrx Obligations. Ambrx hereby authorizes BMS to file financing statements, amendments, applications for registration, or other forms under the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) or other Applicable Law describing the Ambrx Collateral and BMS’ security interest and lien therein and thereto. BMS shall be responsible at its sole expense for perfecting such security interest and lien and Ambrx shall reasonably cooperate, at BMS’ expense, with BMS’ efforts to do so.

(b) “Ambrx Obligations” shall mean any obligations of Ambrx pursuant to Section 11.1 and this Section 7.9. The occurrence of any of the following will be an “Ambrx Event of Default”: (i) any material default by Ambrx of any Ambrx Obligations, but subject to the cure period in Section 13.3 and the dispute resolution process in Article 16, or (ii) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event.

(c) Upon the occurrence of any Ambrx Event of Default and during any continuance thereof, BMS will have, in addition to all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity, the remedies of a secured party under the applicable UCC or other Applicable Law with respect to the Ambrx Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Ambrx Event of Default and during any continuance thereof, BMS is specifically entitled, at its option, to foreclose upon, possess, retain, and own all right, title and interest in and with respect to all or any portion of the Ambrx Collateral. Ambrx acknowledges that BMS’ giving ten (10) calendar days notice is reasonable in any circumstances where BMS may be required by law to give Ambrx notice of any exercise of remedies with respect to the Ambrx Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.9. All the rights, privileges, powers and remedies of BMS are cumulative.

(d) Subject to Section 7.9(e), Ambrx will not allow or grant any lien, claim, security interest, encumbrance or other restriction on the Ambrx Collateral other than that created by this Agreement. In addition, Ambrx shall not sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any of the Ambrx Collateral other than to (i) an Affiliate of Ambrx, (ii) a Third Party successor or purchaser of all or substantially all of the business or assets of Ambrx, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction or (iii) a permitted assignee of this Agreement pursuant to Section 17.8; in each case only if such sale, assignment or other disposition is made expressly subject to BMS’ lien on the Ambrx Collateral and BMS’ other rights hereunder and does not limit the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 7.9(d), Ambrx may grant junior security interest(s) in the

- 31 - 

Ambrx Collateral in connection with the issuance to Ambrx of one or more loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000, provided that any such junior lien and any obligations secured thereby must be expressly subordinated to BMS’ lien and the Ambrx Obligations pursuant to an intercreditor and subordination agreement between BMS and the holder(s) of such junior security interest(s) that is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to BMS. Any such junior security interest shall be subject to and shall not limit the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(f) The security interest granted pursuant to this Section 7.9, and any assignment of US Product Specific Patents to BMS upon the exercise of its remedies hereunder, shall in no way alter BMS’ royalty obligations with respect to such US Product Specific Patents, which shall remain Ambrx Patents, as set forth in this Agreement.

(g) Lien Termination. BMS’ security interest in the Ambrx Collateral shall automatically terminate upon the first to occur of the following: (i) termination of this Agreement or (ii) the end of the second consecutive fiscal year during which Ambrx and its Affiliates have recorded positive combined commercial operating profits based upon recurring sources of revenue. BMS appoints Ambrx as its attorney in fact solely to record the release and termination of such security interest in accordance with this Agreement, and authorizes Ambrx to make such recordation. BMS’ foregoing appointment as attorney in fact, coupled with an interest, is irrevocable. BMS shall promptly sign all documents reasonably necessary or useful to document that BMS no longer has any security interest in the Ambrx Collateral, shall cooperate with Ambrx to record the release and termination of such security interests, and shall reimburse Ambrx for all expenses incurred by Ambrx in connection with this Section 7.9(g).

8. PAYMENTS

8.1 Upfront Payment. In consideration for the licenses granted by Ambrx to BMS hereunder and Ambrx’s obligations hereunder to provide technology transfer to BMS and certain research and development expenses incurred by Ambrx prior to the Effective Date, BMS shall pay Ambrx a signing payment of five million Dollars ($5,000,000) within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date. Such payment shall be noncreditable and nonrefundable.

8.2 Development Milestone Payments for Product.

(a) BMS shall pay to Ambrx the milestone payments set forth in Table 1 within forty-five (45) days after the first achievement of the specified milestone event by BMS, its Sublicensees or their Affiliates for each Product in the Field, provided that (i) the payment amounts set forth in Table 1 shall only apply to the first Product to reach the milestone event, (ii) for any subsequent Compound, the milestone amount payable shall be [***] of the amount set forth in Table 1 (provided that the full milestone payment amount for such milestone event had been previously paid for the first Product to achieve the milestone event) and (iii) the payment amounts set forth in Table 1 shall be subject to Section 8.2(b). Such payments shall be noncreditable (except as set forth in Section 8.2(b) below) and nonrefundable. BMS shall provide written notice to Ambrx within ten (10) Business Days after the first achievement of the specified milestone event by BMS or its Affiliates and within twenty (20) days after the first achievement of the specified milestone event by its Sublicensees or their Affiliates.

(b) The milestone payments as set forth above shall be payable by BMS to Ambrx upon the first achievement of the milestone event for the first Product to achieve such milestone event. For each subsequent Product (i.e., each Product containing a different Compound) to achieve the milestone event, the payment shall be deferred as set forth below. Until [***], the milestone payments for each subsequent Product to achieve the same milestone event will be deferred. In addition, if Development is discontinued for a Product [***], the previously paid milestone payments for that Product will be applied and credited toward the milestone payments for the next most advanced subsequent Product in Development. Once [***], any deferred milestone payments for the next most advanced subsequent Product still continuing in Development will be due. As [***], deferred milestone payments will be paid consistent with the foregoing for any further Products that are advanced through Development. For the purposes of Section 8.2, all Products that contain the same Compound shall be considered the same Product.

(c) For clarification, Exhibit G sets forth examples illustrating how development milestone payments are intended to be paid in accordance with this Section 8.2.

8.3 Royalty Payments to Ambrx.

(a) General. Subject to the other provisions of this Article 8 and other provisions of this Agreement, in consideration of the licenses granted by Ambrx to BMS hereunder to the Ambrx Technology, BMS shall pay to Ambrx royalties based on the Net Sales of each Product during the applicable Royalty Term for such Product. The royalty payable with respect to each particular Product shall be based on the level of aggregate annual Net Sales of such Product in the Territory in a given Calendar Year period by BMS, its Affiliates and Sublicensees, with the royalty rate tiered based upon the level of such aggregate worldwide Net Sales in such Calendar Year period. Royalties shall be calculated by multiplying the applicable royalty rates by the corresponding amount of the portion of Net Sales of the applicable Product within each of the Net Sales tiers during such Calendar Year as set forth below.

(b) Royalty on Products. BMS will pay to Ambrx a royalty on Net Sales of Products, on a Product-by-Product basis, by BMS, its Affiliates and Sublicensees in the Territory based on the Net Sales tiers and royalty rates as set forth in the table below (the “Base Royalty Rate”) (subject to any offsets

***Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

[***]	[***]
[***]	[***]

For clarity, the Net Sales thresholds in the table above shall be determined on a Product-by-Product basis. By way of example, if the aggregate Net Sales of a Product in the Territory in a particular Calendar Year are [***] the amount of royalties payable hereunder shall be calculated as follows (subject to any applicable reductions under this Section 8.3): [***].

(c) Third Party Payments.

(i) Ambrx shall bear all Third Party license payments, milestones, royalties and other payments owed with respect to a Compound and/or Product involving intellectual property (including Patents) that: (A) is licensed or otherwise acquired by Ambrx as of the Effective Date (including, any payment obligations of Ambrx under the Existing License Agreements) or thereafter during the Term and/or (B) is intellectual property that Ambrx received written notice of potential infringement from a Third Party prior to the Effective Date and did not disclose same to BMS in writing prior to the Effective Date.

(ii) Subject to Section 8.3(c)(i) and Section 9.8, if BMS, in its good faith judgment, believes that it is necessary to obtain a license from any Third Party under any Necessary Third Party Patent in order to Develop, manufacture or Commercialize any Compound or Product, BMS’ royalty obligations set forth above shall be reduced by [***] of the amount of the payments made by BMS to such Third Party on account of such license, provided that the royalties paid shall not be reduced in any such event below [***] of the amount that would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 8.3(b) with respect to any calendar quarter. If, but for the proviso in the preceding sentence, the deduction under this Section 8.3(c)(ii) would have reduced a royalty payment made by BMS by more than [***], then the amount of such deduction that exceeds [***] will be carried over to subsequent royalty payments until the full amount that BMS would have been entitled to deduct (absent the above limitation) is deducted. “Necessary Third Party Patent” means a Third Party Patent that Covers (x) [***].

(d) Biosimilar Competition. During the portion of the applicable Royalty Term in a particular country where there are one or more products being sold in such country that are Biosimilar Products with respect to such Product, then the Base Royalty Rates set forth in Section 8.3(b), as adjusted by Section 8.3(c)(ii), with respect to such Product shall be reduced as follows:

(i) by [***], in the event that in any calendar quarter such Biosimilar Product(s), by unit equivalent volume in such country, exceed a [***] share of the market; and

***Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

- 34 - 

(ii) by [***] in the event that in any calendar quarter such Biosimilar Product(s), by unit equivalent volume in such country, exceed a [***] share of the market.

For purposes of this Section 8.3(d), “market” refers to the aggregate of the sales of the Biosimilar Product(s) and the applicable Product in a country.

(e) One Royalty. For clarity, only one royalty shall be due to Ambrx with respect to the same unit of Product.

(f) Royalty Term. Royalties payable by BMS to Ambrx under Section 8.3 shall be paid on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis until the later of (i) ten (10) years after First Commercial Sale of the applicable Product in such country, and (ii) expiration in such country of the last Valid Claim of the last to expire Ambrx Patent that would be infringed by the sale of such Product in such country absent a license with respect to such Ambrx Patent under this Agreement (the “Initial Royalty Term”). [***] Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to a Product in a country, BMS shall have a fully-paid-up perpetual license under Section 7.1 for the making, using, selling, offering for sale and importing of such Product in such country.

(g) [***]

8.4 Offset for Payments to Existing Third Party Licensors. In the event that BMS pays or is required to pay any royalties, milestones or other payments to any Existing Third Party Licensor (a) with respect to any Compound or Product that Ambrx would otherwise be required to pay under the corresponding Existing License Agreement, or (b) following the termination of the corresponding Existing License Agreement in connection with obtaining rights to Ambrx Technology directly from the corresponding Existing Third Party Licensor that were sublicensed to BMS hereunder prior to such termination, then, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, BMS may deduct from any payment owed to Ambrx hereunder, after all other applicable reductions, any such payment made by BMS to such Existing Third Party Licensor.

8.5 Royalty Payments and Reports. All amounts payable to Ambrx pursuant to Section 8.3 shall be paid in Dollars within sixty (60) days after the end of the calendar quarter in which the applicable Net Sales were recorded. Each payment of royalties shall be accompanied by a royalty report providing a statement, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, of: (a) the amount of Net Sales of Products in the Territory during the applicable calendar quarter, (b) a calculation of the amount of royalty payment due in Dollars on such Net Sales for such calendar quarter, and (c) the amount of withholding taxes, if any, required by Applicable Law to be deducted with respect to such royalties[***].

8.6 Payment Method. All payments due under this Agreement to Ambrx shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Ambrx. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

8.7 Taxes. Ambrx will pay any and all taxes levied on account of all payments it receives under this Agreement. If laws or regulations require that taxes be withheld with respect to any royalty payments by BMS to Ambrx under this Agreement, BMS will: (i) deduct those taxes from the remittable payment, (ii) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (iii) send evidence of the obligation together with proof of tax payment to Ambrx on a timely basis following that tax payment. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the

***Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

- 35 - 

other Party in claiming refunds or exemptions from such deductions or withholdings under any relevant agreement or treaty which is in effect. The Parties shall discuss applicable mechanisms for minimizing such taxes to the extent possible in compliance with Applicable Law. In addition, the Parties shall cooperate in accordance with Applicable Law to minimize indirect taxes (such as value added tax, sales tax, consumption tax and other similar taxes) in connection with this Agreement.

8.8 Royalty on Sublicensee Sales. BMS shall have the responsibility to account for and report sales of any Product by a Sublicensee on the same basis as if such sales were Net Sales by BMS. BMS shall pay to Ambrx such Sublicensee amounts when due under this Agreement.

8.9 Foreign Exchange. Conversion of sales recorded in local currencies to Dollars shall be performed in a manner consistent with BMS’ normal practices used to prepare its audited financial statements for internal and external reporting purposes.

8.10 Records. BMS shall keep, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, complete, true and accurate books of accounts and records, including gross sales and any deductions thereto in connection with calculation of Net Sales, sufficient to determine and establish the amounts payable incurred under this Agreement, and compliance with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept reasonably accessible and shall be made available for inspection for a three (3) year period in accordance with Section 8.11 below.

8.11 Inspection of BMS Records. Upon reasonable prior notice, BMS shall permit an independent nationally recognized certified public accounting firm (subject to obligations of confidentiality to BMS), appointed by Ambrx and reasonably acceptable to BMS, to inspect the audited financial records of BMS to the extent relating to payments to Ambrx; provided that such inspection shall not occur more often than once per Calendar Year, unless a material error is discovered in such inspection in which case Ambrx shall have the right to conduct a more thorough inspection for such period. If Ambrx, after inspecting the audited financial records of BMS discovers material errors, then BMS shall permit an independent nationally recognized certified public accounting firm (subject to obligations of confidentiality to BMS), appointed by Ambrx and reasonably acceptable to the BMS, to inspect the books and records described in Section 8.11; provided that such inspection shall not occur more often than once per Calendar Year, unless a material error is discovered in such inspection in which case Ambrx shall have the right to conduct an additional audit for such period. Any inspection conducted under this Section 8.11 shall be at the expense of Ambrx, unless such inspection reveals any underpayment of the royalties due hereunder for the audited period by at least [***], in which case the full costs of such inspection for such period shall be borne by BMS. Any underpayment shall be paid by BMS to Ambrx within forty-five (45) days with interest on the underpayment at the rate specified in Section 8.11 from the date such payment was originally due, and any overpayment shall be credited against future amounts due by BMS to Ambrx.

8.12 Late Payments. Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder that are not paid on the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: (a) [***] or any successor thereto, at 12:01 a.m. on the first day of each calendar quarter in which such payments are overdue or (b) [***] in each case calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent, compounded monthly.

8.13 Payments to or Reports by Affiliates. Any payment required under any provision of this Agreement to be made to either Party or any report required to be made by any Party shall be made to or by

an Affiliate of that Party if designated in writing by that Party as the appropriate recipient or reporting entity.

9. PATENT PROSECUTION AND ENFORCEMENT

9.1 Ownership of Information and Inventions. Subject to Section 7.8 and 7.9, each Party will own all inventions (and Patents that claim such inventions) solely invented by or on behalf of it and/or its Affiliates and/or their respective employees, agents and independent contractors in the course of conducting its activities under this Agreement (collectively, “Sole Inventions”). All inventions invented jointly by employees, Affiliates, agents, or independent contractors of each Party in the course of conducting its activities under this Agreement (collectively, “Joint Inventions”) and Joint Patents will be owned jointly by the Parties. Subject to a Party’s obligations under applicable terms of this Agreement (e.g., licenses granted hereunder, confidentiality obligations, etc.) with respect to same, any Information generated during or resulting from a Party’s activities under this Agreement may be used by such Party for any purpose. This Agreement will be understood to be a joint research agreement under 35 U.S.C. §103(c)(3) entered into for the purpose of researching, identifying and developing Compounds and Products under the terms set forth herein.

9.2 Prosecution of Product Specific Patents.

(a) BMS will have the first right, but not the obligation, to draft, file, prosecute and maintain (including any oppositions, interferences, reissue proceedings, reexaminations and post-grant proceedings) in all jurisdictions in the Territory the Product Specific Patents (such activities with respect to Patents being the “Prosecution”, with the term “Prosecute” having the corresponding meaning). Such Prosecution of the Product Specific Patents shall be handled by outside counsel mutually agreed upon by the Parties that will jointly represent the Parties (the “Patent Firm”). Subject to Section 9.2(b) and (c), BMS shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of the Patent Prosecution Costs for the Product Specific Patents, and shall have lead responsibility and decision-making control for such Prosecution of the Product Specific Patents. For clarity, each Party will bear its own internal costs (i.e., those costs that are not Patent Prosecution Costs) with respect to its Prosecution activities for the Product Specific Patents.

(b) The Parties will cooperate in the Prosecution of the Product Specific Patents in all respects. Ambrx will provide BMS all reasonable assistance and cooperation in its Prosecution efforts with respect to the Product Specific Patents, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such Prosecution, including obtaining the assistance and cooperation of the Existing Third Party Licensors, as necessary to Prosecute the Product Specific Patents.

(c) In the event that BMS elects not to Prosecute in any country any Patent within the Product Specific Patents, BMS will give Ambrx at least thirty (30) days notice before any relevant deadline and provide to Ambrx information it reasonably requests relating to the Product Specific Patent. Ambrx will then have the right to assume responsibility, using patent counsel of its choice, for the Prosecution of such Product Specific Patent. If Ambrx assumes responsibility for the Prosecution for any such Product Specific Patents as set forth above, then the Patent Prosecution Costs incurred by Ambrx in the course of such Prosecution will thereafter be borne by Ambrx, and such Product Specific Patent shall thereafter be deemed to be an Other Ambrx Patent and BMS’ license rights with respect to such Product Specific Patent under Section 7.1 shall become nonexclusive. The Parties will cooperate in such Prosecution in all respects. Each Party will provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation in such Prosecution efforts, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such Prosecution. Each Party will provide the other Party with copies of any documents it receives or prepares in connection with such Prosecution and will inform the other Party of the progress of it. Before filing in connection with such Prosecution any document with a patent office, each Party will provide

- 37 - 

a copy of the document to the other Party sufficiently in advance to enable the other Party to comment on it, and the first Party will give due consideration to such comments.

(d) Patent Term Adjustments or Extensions. The Parties will confer regarding the desirability of seeking in any country any patent term adjustment, patent term extension, supplemental patent protection or related extension of rights with respect to the Product Specific Patents. BMS shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to apply for any such adjustment, extension or protection. Neither Party will proceed with such an extension until the Parties have consulted with one another and agreed to a strategy therefor, provided that in the case where the Parties are unable to reach consensus, BMS will have the final decision-making authority with respect to such decision; provided further that such decision will be made in accordance with Applicable Law so as to maximize marketing exclusivity for the Product in the Field. Without limiting the foregoing, Ambrx covenants that it will not seek patent term extensions, supplemental protection certificates, or similar rights or extensions for the Product Specific Patents without the prior written consent of BMS, not to be unreasonably withheld. Each Party will cooperate fully with and provide all reasonable assistance to the other Party and use all commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its obligations under Applicable Law (including any applicable consent order or decree) in connection with obtaining any such adjustments or extensions for the Product Specific Patents consistent with such strategy. To the extent reasonably and legally required in order to obtain any such adjustment or extension in a particular country, each Party will make available to the other a copy of the necessary documentation to enable such other Party to use the same for the purpose of obtaining the adjustment or extension in such country.

9.3 Data Exclusivity. As applicable, BMS will have the sole right and authority for securing, maintaining and enforcing exclusivity rights that may be available under Applicable Law in a country for a Product, such as any data, market, pediatric, orphan drug or other regulatory exclusivity periods. Ambrx will cooperate fully with and provide all reasonable assistance to BMS and use all commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its obligations under Applicable Law (including any applicable consent order or decree) to seek, maintain and enforce all data exclusivity periods available for the Products.

9.4 Prosecution of Other Patents

(a) Joint Patents That Are Not Ambrx Patents. This Section 9.4(a) will apply only to Joint Patents that are not Ambrx Patents. BMS will have the first right, but not the obligation, to Prosecute in all jurisdictions all Joint Patents that are not Ambrx Patents. If BMS determines in its sole discretion to abandon, cease prosecution of or otherwise not file or maintain any such Joint Patent in any jurisdiction, then BMS will provide Ambrx written notice of such determination at least thirty (30) days before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment (or other loss of rights) and will provide Ambrx with the opportunity to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Joint Patent in such jurisdiction. The Party that is responsible for Prosecuting a particular Joint Patent (the “Prosecuting Party”) will provide the other Party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding such Joint Patent, and such other Party will provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such efforts. The Prosecuting Party will provide the other Party with a copy of all material communications from any patent authority in the applicable jurisdictions regarding such Joint Patent being prosecuted by such Party, and will provide the other Party drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses so that such other Party may have an opportunity to review and comment thereon. In particular, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary or desirable to enable the other Party to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, each Party will bear its own internal costs and the Patent Prosecution Costs that it incurs with respect to the Prosecution of such Joint Patents that are not Ambrx Patents.

- 38 - 

(b) BMS Patents. BMS will have the sole right and authority with respect to BMS Patents in any jurisdiction, including Prosecution and enforcement. BMS will be responsible for all costs incurred by it (including all Patent Prosecution Costs) in the course of Prosecuting and enforcing such BMS Patents.

(c) Other Ambrx Patents. As between the Parties, Ambrx will have the first right, but not the obligation, to Prosecute in all jurisdictions all Ambrx Patents other than the Core Patents, Scripps Patents and Product Specific Patents (“Other Ambrx Patents”). If Ambrx determines in its sole discretion to abandon, cease prosecution of or otherwise not file or maintain any such Other Ambrx Patent in any Major Market, then Ambrx will provide BMS written notice of such determination at least thirty (30) days before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment (or other loss of rights) and will provide BMS with the opportunity to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Other Ambrx Patent in such Major Market. The Prosecuting Party will provide the other Party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding such Other Ambrx Patent, and such other Party will provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such efforts. The Prosecuting Party will provide the other Party with a copy of all material communications from any patent authority in the applicable jurisdictions regarding such Other Ambrx Patent being prosecuted by such Party, and will provide the other Party drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses so that such other Party may have an opportunity to review and comment thereon. In particular, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary or desirable to enable the other Party to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, Ambrx will be responsible for all costs incurred by it (including all Patent Prosecution Costs) in the course of Prosecuting and enforcing such Other Ambrx Patents.

(d) Core Patents and Scripps Patents. Ambrx will have the sole right and authority with respect to Core Patents and Scripps Patents in any jurisdiction, including Prosecution and enforcement. Ambrx will be responsible for all costs incurred by it (including all Patent Prosecution Costs) in the course of Prosecuting and enforcing such Core Patents and Scripps Patents.

9.5 Infringement of Ambrx Patents by Third Parties.

(a) Notification. The Parties will promptly notify each other of any actual, threatened, alleged or suspected infringement by a Third Party (an “Infringement”) of the Ambrx Patents. A notice under 42 U.S.C. 262(l) (however such section may be amended from time to time during the Term) with respect to a Product will be deemed to describe an act of Infringement, regardless of its content. As permitted by Applicable Law, each Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing of any such Infringement of which it becomes aware, and will provide evidence in such Party’s possession demonstrating such Infringement. In particular, each Party will notify and provide the other Party with copies of any allegations of patent invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any Ambrx Patents Covering a Compound or Product (including methods of use or manufacture thereof). Such notification and copies will be provided by the Party receiving such certification to the other Party as soon as practicable and, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, at least within five (5) days after the receiving Party receives such certification. Such notification and copies will be sent by facsimile and overnight courier to BMS at the address set forth below, and to Ambrx at the address specified in Section 17.5.

(b) BMS will have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring and control, at its expense, an appropriate suit or other action before any government or private tribunal against any person or entity allegedly engaged in any Infringement (an “Infringement Action”) of any Product Specific Patent to remedy the Infringement (or to settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Infringement). The foregoing right of BMS shall include the right to perform all actions of a reference product sponsor set forth in 42 USC 262(l). Ambrx will have the right, at its own expense and by counsel of its choice, to be represented in any Infringement Action with respect to a Product Specific Patent (“Product Specific Infringement Action”). At BMS’ request, Ambrx will join any Product Specific Infringement Action as a party and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any applicable Existing Third Party Licensor to join such Product Specific Infringement Action as a party (all at BMS’ expense) if doing so is necessary for the purposes of establishing standing or is otherwise required by Applicable Law to pursue such action. BMS will have a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days after its receipt or delivery of notice and evidence pursuant to Section 9.5(a) to elect to so enforce such Product Specific Patents in the applicable jurisdiction (or to settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Infringement), provided, however, that such period will be more that one hundred and eighty (180) days to the extent Applicable Law prevents earlier enforcement of such Product Specific Patents (such as the enforcement process set forth in 42 USC 262(l)) and such period will be less than one hundred and eighty (180) days to the extent that a delay in bringing an action to enforce the applicable Product Specific Patents against such alleged Third Party infringer would limit or compromise the remedies (including monetary and injunctive relief) available against such alleged Third Party infringer. In the event BMS does not so elect (or settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Infringement) within the aforementioned period of time or twenty (20) days before the time limit, if any, for the filing of a Product Specific Infringement Action, whichever is sooner, it will so notify Ambrx in writing and in the case where Ambrx then desires to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable Product Specific Patents with respect to such Infringement in the applicable jurisdiction, the Parties will confer and upon BMS’ prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Ambrx will have the right to commence such a suit or take such action to enforce the applicable Product Specific Patents, at Ambrx’s expense. Each Party will provide to the Party enforcing any such rights under this Section 9.5(b) reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action. The enforcing Party will keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, and will reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts.

(c) Settlement. Without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), neither Party will settle any Product Specific Infringement Action in any manner that would adversely affect a Product Specific Patent or that would limit or restrict the ability of BMS (or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, as applicable) to sell Products anywhere in the Territory.

(d) Expenses and Recoveries. A Party bringing a Product Specific Infringement Action under this Section 9.5 against any Third Party engaged in Infringement of the Product Specific Patents will be solely responsible for any expenses incurred by such Party as a result of such Product Specific Infringement Action. If such Party recovers monetary damages from such Third Party in such Product Specific Infringement Action, such recovery will first be applied to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees. If such recovery is insufficient to cover all such costs and expenses of both Parties, it will be shared pro-rata in proportion to the relative amount of such costs and expenses incurred by each Party. If after such reimbursement any funds remain from such damages, such funds will be shared as follows: (i) if BMS is the Party bringing such Product

- 40 - 

Specific Infringement Action, such remaining funds will be retained by BMS and treated as Net Sales of Product, and (iii) if Ambrx is the Party bringing such Product Specific Infringement Action, such remaining funds will be [***].

9.6 Infringement of Joint Patents That Are Not Ambrx Patents.

(a) BMS will have the right, but not the obligation, to bring at its expense an appropriate suit or other action against any Third Party allegedly engaged in any Infringement of Joint Patents that are not Ambrx Patents. BMS will have a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after its receipt or delivery of notice of such Infringement to elect to so enforce such Joint Patent (or to settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Infringement), provided, however, that such period will be more than one hundred and eighty (180) days to the extent Applicable Law prevents earlier enforcement of such Joint Patents (such as the enforcement process set forth in 42 USC 262(l)) and such period will be less than one hundred eighty (180) days to the extent that a delay in bringing an action to enforce the applicable Joint Patents against such alleged Third Party infringer would limit or compromise the remedies (including monetary and injunctive relief) available against such alleged Third Party infringer. In the event BMS does not so elect (or settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Infringement), it will so notify Ambrx in writing and in the case where Ambrx then desires to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable Joint Patents with respect to such infringement, the Parties will confer and Ambrx will have the right to commence such a suit or take such action to enforce the applicable Joint Patents, at Ambrx’s expense, subject to BMS’ prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each Party will provide to the Party enforcing any such rights under this Section 9.6(a) reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action. The enforcing Party will keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, and will reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), neither Party will settle any claim, suit or action that it may bring with respect to a Joint Patent that is not an Ambrx Patent.

(c) A Party bringing a claim, suit or action under Section 9.6(a) against any Third Party engaged in Infringement of any Joint Patent that is not an Ambrx Patent will be solely responsible for any expenses incurred by such Party as a result of such claim, suit or action. If such Party recovers monetary damages from such Third Party in such suit or action, such recovery will first be applied to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees. If such recovery is insufficient to cover all such costs and expenses of both Parties, it will be shared pro-rata in proportion to the relative amount of such costs and expenses incurred by each Party. If after such reimbursement any funds remain from such damages, such funds will be shared as follows: (i) if BMS is the Party bringing such suit, such remaining funds will be retained by BMS and treated as Net Sales of Product, and (iii) if Ambrx is the Party bringing such Infringement Action, such remaining funds will be retained as [***].

9.7 Infringement of Other Ambrx Patents.

(a) Ambrx will have the sole right, but not the obligation, to bring at its expense an appropriate suit or other action against any Third Party allegedly engaged in any Infringement of Joint

***Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

- 41 - 

Patents that are Other Ambrx Patents. Ambrx will have a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after its receipt or delivery of notice of such Infringement to elect to so enforce such Other Ambrx Patent (or to settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Infringement), provided, however, that such period will be more than one hundred eighty (180) days to the extent Applicable Law prevents earlier enforcement of such Other Ambrx Patents (such as the enforcement process set forth in 42 USC 262(l)) and such period will be less than one hundred eighty (180) days to the extent that a delay in bringing an action to enforce the applicable Other Ambrx Patents against such alleged Third Party infringer would limit or compromise the remedies (including monetary and injunctive relief) available against such alleged Third Party infringer. In the event Ambrx does not so elect (or settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Infringement), it will so notify BMS in writing and in the case where BMS then desires to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable Other Ambrx Patents with respect to such Infringement, the Parties will confer and, unless and until Scripps exercises any rights it may have under its Existing License Agreement, BMS will have the right to commence such a suit or take such action to enforce the applicable Other Ambrx Patents, at BMS’ expense, subject to Ambrx’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each Party will provide to the Party enforcing any such rights under this Section 9.7

(a) reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action. The enforcing Party will keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, and will reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), neither Party will settle any Infringement Action related to any Other Ambrx Patent in any manner that would limit or restrict the ability of BMS (or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, as applicable) to sell Products anywhere in the Territory.

(c) A Party bringing a claim, suit or action under Section 9.7(a) against any Third Party engaged in Infringement of any Other Ambrx Patent will be solely responsible for any expenses incurred by such Party as a result of such claim, suit or action. If such Party recovers monetary damages from such Third Party in such suit or action, such recovery will first be applied to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees. If such recovery is insufficient to cover all such costs and expenses of both Parties, it will be shared pro-rata in proportion to the relative amount of such costs and expenses incurred by each Party. If after such reimbursement any funds remain from such damages, such funds will be shared as follows: (i) if BMS is the Party bringing such suit, such remaining funds will be retained by BMS and treated as Net Sales of Product and (ii) if Ambrx is the Party bringing such Infringement Action, such remaining funds will be retained as [***]. Notwithstanding the foregoing proposed allocation, in the event that Scripps exercises any right it may have under the Scripps Agreement to control an Infringement Action, then, in lieu of such allocations, the remaining funds shall be divided as follows: (A) Scripps shall receive the portion of such remaining funds to which it is entitled under the Scripps Agreement and (B) BMS shall retain the balance which shall be treated as Net Sales of Product.

9.8 Third Party Rights.

(a) The Parties will promptly notify each other of any written allegation that any activity pursuant to this Agreement infringes the Patent rights of any Third Party. In addition, the Parties will notify each other if either Party desires to obtain a license or otherwise pursue a defense or settlement with respect to any Third Party Patent that may be considered to Cover the use or application of the Ambrx ReCODE Technology as used or applied to Products or Compounds.

***Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

- 42 - 

(b) Subject to Section 9.8(c), (d) and (e), with respect to any Third Party Patent under Section 9.8(a), BMS will have the first right to control, at its expense, obtaining a license with respect to such Third Party Patent that specifically Covers the composition, formulation, method of use and/or method of manufacture of any Compound and/or Product. Subject to Section 9.8(c), (d) and (e), in all other cases with respect to any Third Party Patent under Section 9.8(a), Ambrx shall have the first right to control, at its expense, obtaining a license with respect to such Third Party Patent, and to negotiate the terms and conditions of, to enter into and make all the payments due pursuant to a license agreement with respect to such Third Party Patent (with the Third Party Patent rights required by BMS with respect to Compounds and Products being included in the Ambrx Patents and sublicensed by Ambrx to BMS under Section 7.1) (such license agreement between Ambrx and such Third Party being a “Necessary License Agreement”). In the event that Ambrx elects to seek to obtain such a Necessary License Agreement, Ambrx will use Diligent Efforts to enter into such Necessary License Agreement. In the case that Ambrx has not entered into such Necessary License Agreement for any reason within a reasonable period of time (but in any event no longer than twelve (12) months) after the Parties have mutually agreed that Ambrx will seek the Necessary License Agreement, BMS shall then have the right to proceed, at its expense, with such license with respect to such Third Party Patent as it decides in its sole discretion, subject to Section 9.8(c), (d) and (e).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case a claim of infringement of a Patent is brought against a Party in a suit or other action or proceeding with respect to any Third Party Patent under Section 9.8(a), such Party will have the right, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, to prosecute and defend any such claim in such suit or other action or proceeding. If both Parties are named, the Parties shall meet and determine who is best situated to lead any such suit or other action or proceeding.

(d) Without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), neither Party will settle any claim under this Section 9.8 in any manner that would (i) limit or restrict the ability of BMS (or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, as applicable) to sell Products anywhere in the Territory or (ii) impose any obligation, restriction or limitation on the other Party.

(e) The Parties will cooperate in all respects with one another in prosecuting or defending any action pursuant to this Section 9.8.

9.9 Reexaminations, Oppositions and Related Actions.

(a) The Parties will promptly notify each other in the event that any Third Party files, or threatens to file, any paper in a court, patent office or other government entity, seeking to invalidate, reexamine, oppose or compel the licensing of any Ambrx Patent (any such Third Party action being a “Patent Challenge”).

(b) BMS will have the first right to bring and control, at its expense, any effort in defense of such a Patent Challenge against a Product Specific Patent, except in the case where such Patent Challenge is made in connection with an Infringement Action in which case the enforcing Party in the Infringement Action will have the first right to bring and control the defense of such Patent Challenge and such Patent Challenge will be considered part of the Infringement Action under this Article 9. In the case where BMS controls the defense of such Patent Challenge, Ambrx will have the right, at its own expense and by counsel of its choice, to be represented in any such effort. If BMS fails to take action to defend such Patent Challenge within thirty (30) days of the time limit for bringing such defense (or within such shorter period to the extent that a delay in bringing such defense would limit or compromise the outcome of such defense of such Patent Challenge), then Ambrx will have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any effort in defense of such Patent Challenge at its own expense.

(c) Ambrx will have the first right to bring and control, at its expense, any effort in

- 43 - 

defense of such a Patent Challenge related to any Other Ambrx Patent, except in the case where such Patent Challenge is made in connection with an Infringement Action in which case the enforcing Party in the Infringement Action will have the first right to bring and control the defense of such Patent Challenge and such Patent Challenge will be considered part of the Infringement Action under this Article 9. In the case where Ambrx controls the defense of such Patent Challenge, BMS will have the right, at its own expense and by counsel of its choice, to be represented in any such effort. If Ambrx fails to take action to defend such Patent Challenge within thirty (30) days of the time limit for bringing such defense (or within such shorter period to the extent that a delay in bringing such defense would limit or compromise the outcome of such defense of such Patent Challenge), then BMS will have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any effort in defense of such Patent Challenge at its own expense.

9.10 Disclosure of Inventions. Each Party will promptly disclose to the other Party all invention disclosures submitted to such Party by its or its Affiliates’ employees describing Joint Inventions and Sole Inventions. Each Party will also respond promptly to reasonable requests from the other Party for more Information relating to such inventions.

9.11 Patent Contacts. Each Party will designate patent counsel representatives who will be responsible for coordinating the activities between the Parties in accordance with this Article 9 (each a “Patent Contact”). Each Party will designate its initial Patent Contact within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date and will promptly thereafter notify the other Party of such designation. If at any time a vacancy occurs for any reason, the Party that appointed the prior incumbent will as soon as reasonably practicable appoint a successor. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party of any substitution of another person as its Patent Contact. The Patent Contacts will, from time to time, coordinate the respective patent strategies of the Parties relating to this Agreement. In particular the Patent Contacts will review and update the list of Ambrx Patents from time to time to ensure that all Products being Developed or Commercialized are covered.

9.12 Personnel Obligations. Prior to receiving any Confidential Information or beginning work under this Agreement relating to any research, Development or Commercialization of a Compound or a Product, each employee, agent or independent contractor of BMS or Ambrx or of either Party’s respective Affiliates will be bound in writing by non-disclosure and invention assignment obligations which are consistent with the obligations of BMS or Ambrx under this Agreement (provided that where necessary in the case of a Third Party (i) such Third Party shall agree to grant BMS or Ambrx, as the case may be, an exclusive license with the right to grant sublicenses with respect to resulting inventions and Patents and (ii) the period of time with respect to non-disclosure obligations may be shorter, but in no event less than seven (7) years from the effective date of the written obligation).

9.13 Further Action. Each Party will, upon the reasonable request of the other Party, provide such assistance and execute such documents as are reasonably necessary for such Party to exercise its rights and perform its obligations pursuant to this Article 9; provided, however, that neither Party will be required to take any action pursuant to Article 9 that such Party reasonably determines in its sole judgment and discretion conflicts with or violates any applicable court or government order or decree or Applicable Law.

10. TRADEMARKS

10.1 Product Trademarks. BMS shall be solely responsible for the selection (including the creation, searching and clearing), registration, maintenance, policing and enforcement of all trademarks developed for use in connection with the marketing, sale or distribution of Products in the Field in the Territory (the “Product Marks”). BMS shall own all Product Marks, and all trademark registrations for said marks.

10.2 Use of Name. Neither Party shall, without the other Party’s prior written consent, use any trademarks or other marks of the other Party (including the other Party’s corporate name), trademarks, advertising taglines or slogans confusingly similar thereto, in connection with such Party’s marketing or promotion of Products under this Agreement or for any other purpose, except as may be expressly authorized in writing in connection with activities under this Agreement and except to the extent required to comply with Applicable Law.

10.3 Further Actions. Each Party shall, upon the reasonable request of the other Party, provide such assistance and execute such documents as are reasonably necessary for such Party to exercise its rights and/or perform its obligations pursuant to this Article 10; provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to take any action pursuant to Article 10 that such Party reasonably determines in its sole judgment and discretion conflicts with or violates any applicable court or government order or decree or Applicable Law.

11. EXCLUSIVITY

11.1 Exclusivity. Ambrx agrees that it will not work independently of this Agreement during the Term for itself or any Third Party (including the grant of any license or option to any Third Party) with respect to discovery, research and/or development activities with respect to (i) Compounds and Products in the Territory and/or (ii) any non-human versions of Relaxin having one or more non-naturally occurring amino acid(s) incorporated using the Ambrx ReCODE Technology (including any conjugate thereof) for use in the Field in the Territory.

12. CONFIDENTIALITY

12.1 Confidentiality. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, each Party (the “Receiving Party”) agrees that, for the Term and for five (5) years thereafter, it shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement (which includes the exercise of any rights or the performance of any obligations hereunder) any Confidential Information furnished to it by the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) pursuant to this Agreement except for that portion of such Information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate by competent written proof:

(a) was already known to the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates, other than under an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party, at the time of disclosure by the other Party;

(b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party;

(c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement;

(d) is subsequently disclosed to the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates by a Third Party without obligations of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party with respect thereto; or

(e) is subsequently independently discovered or developed by the Receiving Party or its Affiliate without the aid, application, or use of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

All Information generated by either Party in the Development of a Compound or Product after the Effective Date or licensed to BMS hereunder shall be treated as the Confidential Information of BMS. For clarity,

- 45 - 

Information generated by Ambrx with respect to the Ambrx ReCODE Technology independently of the Research Program shall be Ambrx Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Sections 12.2(a), 12.2(c) or 12.2(d), it will, except where

- 46 - 

impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information. In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder.

Nothing in Sections 12.1 or 12.2 shall limit either Party in any way from disclosing to any Third Party such Party’s U.S. or foreign income tax treatment and the U.S. or foreign income tax structure of the transactions relating to such Party that are based on or derived from this Agreement, as well as all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such tax treatment or tax structure, except to the extent that nondisclosure of such matters is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

12.3 Publicity; Terms of Agreement.

(a) The Parties agree that the material terms of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of both Parties, subject to the special authorized disclosure provisions set forth in Section 12.2 and this Section 12.3. The Parties have agreed to make a joint public announcement of the execution of this Agreement substantially in the form of the press release attached as Exhibit F on or after the Effective Date.

(b) After issuance of such joint press release, if either Party desires to make a public announcement concerning the material terms of this Agreement, such Party shall give reasonable prior advance notice of the proposed text of such announcement to the other Party for its prior review and approval (except as otherwise provided herein), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, except that in the case of a press release or governmental filing required by Applicable Law (where reasonably advised by the disclosing Party’s counsel), the disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with such advance notice as it reasonably can and shall not be required to obtain approval therefor. A Party commenting on such a proposed press release shall provide its comments, if any, within five (5) Business Days (or within three (3) Business Days in the event that Ambrx (or its Affiliate) is a public reporting company) after receiving the press release for review and the other Party shall give good faith consideration to same. Ambrx shall have the right to make a press release announcing the achievement of each milestone under this Agreement as it is achieved, and the achievements of Regulatory Approvals as they occur, subject only to the review procedure set forth in the preceding sentence. In relation to BMS’ review of such an announcement, BMS may make specific, reasonable comments on such proposed press release within the prescribed time for commentary, but shall not withhold its consent to disclosure of the information that the relevant milestone or Regulatory Approval has been achieved and triggered a payment hereunder. Neither Party shall be required to seek the permission of the other Party to repeat any information regarding the terms of this Agreement that have previously been publicly disclosed by such Party, or by the other Party, in accordance with this Section 12.3. For clarity, neither Party shall disclose the financial terms of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party, except as and to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement.

(c) The Parties acknowledge that either or both Parties may be obligated to file under Applicable Law a copy of this Agreement with the SEC or other Government Authorities. Each Party shall be entitled to make such a required filing, provided that it requests confidential treatment of at least the financial terms and sensitive technical terms hereof and thereof to the extent such confidential treatment is reasonably available to such Party. In the event of any such filing, each Party will provide the other Party with a copy of this Agreement marked to show provisions for which such Party intends to seek confidential treatment not less than five (5) Business Days prior to such filing (and any revisions to such portions of the proposed filing a reasonable time prior to the filing thereof), and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments thereon to the extent consistent with the legal requirements, with respect to the filing Party, governing disclosure of material agreements and material information that must be publicly filed, and shall only disclose Confidential Information which it is advised by counsel or the applicable Governmental

- 47 - 

Authority is legally required to be disclosed. No such notice shall be required under this Section 12.3(c) if the substance of the description of or reference to this Agreement contained in the proposed filing has been included in any previous filing made by either Party hereunder or otherwise approved by the other Party.

(d) Each Party shall require each of its Affiliates and private investors to which Confidential Information of the other Party is disclosed as permitted hereunder to comply with the covenants and restrictions set forth in Sections 12.1 through Section 12.3 as if each such Affiliate and each such investor were a Party to this Agreement and shall be fully responsible for any breach of such covenants and restrictions by any such Affiliate or investor.

12.4 Publications. Neither Party shall publicly present or publish results of studies carried out under this Agreement (each such presentation or publication a “Publication”) without the opportunity for prior review by the other Party, except to the extent otherwise required by Applicable Law, in which case Section 12.3 shall apply with respect to disclosures required by the SEC and/or for regulatory filings. The submitting Party shall provide the other Party the opportunity to review any proposed Publication at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of its presentation or intended submission for publication. The submitting Party agrees, upon request by the other Party, not to submit or present any Publication until the other Party has had thirty (30) days to comment on any material in such Publication. The submitting Party shall consider the comments of the other Party in good faith, but will retain the sole authority to submit the manuscript for Publication; provided that the submitting Party agrees to delay such Publication as necessary to enable the Parties to file a Patent if such Publication might adversely affect such Patent. The submitting Party shall provide the other Party a copy of the Publication at the time of the submission or presentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BMS shall not have the right to publish or present Ambrx’s Confidential Information without Ambrx’s prior written consent, and Ambrx shall not have the right to publish or present BMS’ Confidential Information without BMS’ prior written consent. Each Party agrees to acknowledge the contributions of the other Party, and the employees of the other Party, in all publications as scientifically appropriate. This Section 12.4 shall not limit and shall be subject to Section 12.5.

Nothing contained in this Section 12.4 shall prohibit the inclusion of information in a patent application claiming, and in furtherance of, the manufacture, use, sale or formulation of a Compound, provided that the non-filing Party is given a reasonable opportunity to review, comment upon and/or approve the information to be included prior to submission of such patent application, where and to the extent required by Article 9 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties recognize that independent investigators have been engaged, and will be engaged in the future, to conduct Clinical Trials of Compounds and Products. The Parties recognize that such investigators operate in an academic environment and may release information regarding such studies in a manner consistent with academic standards; provided that each Party will use reasonable efforts to prevent publication prior to the filing of relevant patent applications and to ensure that no Confidential Information of either Party is disclosed.

12.5 Publication and Listing of Clinical Trials and Compliance with other Policies, Orders and Agreements. The Parties agree to comply, with respect to the Compounds and Products, with (a) the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) Guidelines on the listing of Clinical Trials and the Publication of Clinical Trial results, (b) any applicable court order, stipulations, consent agreements and settlements entered into by a party, and (c) BMS’ Research and Development policy concerning Clinical Trials Registration and Disclosure of Results as amended from time to time and other BMS policies or other policies adopted by it for the majority of its other pharmaceutical products with regard to the same (to the extent the same either are not in direct conflict with the documents referred to in clauses (a) and (c) above and, in the case of Ambrx, to the extent such policies are provided by BMS to Ambrx in writing prior to requiring their implementation under this Agreement).

12.6 Termination of Prior CDA. This Agreement terminates, as of the Effective Date, the Prior CDA. All Information exchanged between the Parties under the Prior CDA shall be deemed Confidential Information of the corresponding Party under this Agreement and shall be subject to the terms of this Article 12.

13. TERM AND TERMINATION

13.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 13, shall continue, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis until such time as neither Party has any obligation to the other under this Agreement in such country with respect to such Product (the “Term”).

13.2 Termination by BMS at Will or for Safety Reasons.

(a) Termination by BMS at Will. BMS may terminate this Agreement as a whole or on a country-by-country and/or Product-by-Product basis, effective upon three (3) months prior written notice to Ambrx in the case where Regulatory Approval has not been obtained for the applicable Product in either the U.S. or the EU or upon six (6) months prior written notice to Ambrx in the case where Regulatory Approval has been obtained in either the U.S. or the EU. Following any such notice of termination under this Section 13.2(a), no milestone payments will be due on milestones achieved during the period between the notice of termination and the effective date of termination. Following any such notice of termination under this Section 13.2(a), for the period ending upon the earlier of the end of the Research Term (in the absence of such termination) or six (6) months following the date of the notice of termination, BMS shall be responsible for the payment for (i) BMS funded Ambrx FTEs under Section 3.4 and (ii) the committed Third Party Costs (which have been agreed to by BMS and are set forth in the Research Plan in accordance with Section 3.4(c)); provided that, in each case, Ambrx shall use Diligent Efforts to avoid, cancel or otherwise limit such Third Party Costs incurred by Ambrx after BMS’ notice of termination.

(b) Termination by BMS for Safety Reasons. BMS may terminate this Agreement on a Product-by-Product and/or country-by-country basis upon written notice to Ambrx based on Safety Reasons. Upon such termination for Safety Reasons, BMS shall be responsible, at its expense, for the wind-down of any Development of the applicable Product (including any Clinical Trials for the applicable Product being conducted by or on behalf of BMS) and any Commercialization activities for the applicable Product. Such termination shall become effective upon the date that BMS notifies Ambrx in writing that such wind-down is complete. Following any such notice of termination under this Section 3.2(b), no milestone payments will be due on milestones achieved during the period between the notice of termination and the effective date of termination. Following any such notice of termination under this Section 3.2(b), for the period ending upon the earlier of the end of the Research Term (in the absence of such termination) or six (6) months following the date of the notice of termination, BMS shall be responsible for the payment for (i) BMS funded Ambrx FTEs under Section 3.4 and (ii) the committed Third Party Costs (which have been agreed to by BMS and are set forth in the Research Plan in accordance with Section 3.4(c)); provided that, in each case, Ambrx shall use Diligent Efforts to avoid, cancel or otherwise limit such Third Party Costs incurred by Ambrx after BMS’ notice of termination.

13.3 Termination by Either Party for Breach.

(a) Either Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Product (on a Product-by-Product basis) as to the entire Territory or with respect to any country (on a country-by-country basis), in the event the other Party materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach shall have continued for ninety (90) days (or, if such default cannot be cured within such ninety (90) day period, if the alleged breaching Party has not commenced and diligently continued good faith efforts to cure such breach) after written notice shall have been provided to the breaching Party by the non-breaching Party requiring such breach to be remedied and stating an intention to terminate if not so cured (a “Termination Notice”). Except as set forth in Section 13.3(b), any such termination shall become effective at the end of such ninety (90) day period unless the breaching Party has cured any such breach prior to the expiration of the ninety (90) day period (or, if such default cannot be cured within such ninety (90) day period, if the alleged breaching Party has not commenced and diligently continued good faith efforts to cure such breach).

(b) If the alleged breaching Party disputes the existence or materiality of a breach specified in a Termination Notice provided by the other Party in accordance with Section 13.3(a), and such alleged breaching Party provides the other Party notice of such dispute within said ninety (90) day period after receiving such Termination Notice, then the non-breaching Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 13.3(a) with respect to such country or countries unless and until arbitrators, in accordance with Article 16, have determined that the alleged breaching Party has materially breached this Agreement with respect to such country or countries and such Party fails to cure such breach within ninety (90) days following such arbitrators’ decision (except to the extent such breach involves the failure to make a payment when due, which breach must be cured within ten (10) Business Days following such arbitrators’ decision).

(c) Section 13.3(a) shall not apply to or encompass a breach (or alleged breach) of BMS’ obligation to use Diligent Efforts as set forth in Section 3.8, 3.13 or 5.1, and for which a remedy, if any, for any such breach shall be governed solely by Section 13.4.

(d) No milestone payments by BMS will be due on milestones achieved, with respect to the applicable Major Market(s) for which termination is sought, during the period between the notice of termination under this Section 13.3 and the effective date of termination; provided, however, if the allegedly breaching Party provides notice of a dispute pursuant to Section 13.3(b) and such dispute is resolved in a manner in which no termination of this Agreement with respect to such Major Market(s) occurs, then upon such resolution BMS will promptly pay to Ambrx the applicable milestone payment for each milestone achieved during the period between the notice of termination under this Section 13.3 and the resolution of such dispute.

13.4 Termination by Ambrx for Failure of BMS to Use Diligent Efforts.

(a) Subject to Sections 13.4(c), 13.6 and 13.7, Ambrx shall have the right to terminate this Agreement:

(i) on a Major Market-by-Major Market basis with respect to all Compounds and Products if BMS is in material breach of its obligation to use Diligent Efforts as set forth in Section 3.12 or 5.1 with respect to such Major Market; provided, however, such license shall not so terminate unless (A) BMS is given six (6) months prior written notice by Ambrx of Ambrx’s intent to terminate, stating the reasons and justification for such termination and recommending steps which Ambrx believes BMS should take to cure such alleged breach, and (B) BMS, or its Affiliates or Sublicensee, has not (1) during the sixty

13.5 Termination by Either Party for Insolvency. A Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice if the other Party incurs an Insolvency Event; provided, however, in the case of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, such right to terminate shall only become effective if the Party that incurs the Insolvency Event consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or if such proceeding is not dismissed or stayed within forty-five (45) days after the filing thereof. “Insolvency Event” means circumstances under which a Party (i) has a receiver or similar officer appointed over all or a material part of its assets or business; (ii) passes a resolution for winding-up of all or a material part of its assets or business (other than a winding-up for the purpose of, or in connection with, any solvent amalgamation or reconstruction) or a court enters an order to that effect; (iii) has entered against it an order for relief recognizing it as a debtor under any insolvency or bankruptcy laws (or any equivalent order in any jurisdiction); or (iv) enters into any composition or arrangement with its creditors with respect to all or a material part of its assets or business (other than relating to a solvent restructuring).

13.7 Effects of Termination of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement by BMS under Section 13.2(a) or Section 13.2(b) or by Ambrx under Section 13.3, Section 13.4 or Section 13.5 (except as the application of such Sections may be limited as provided in a given subsection of this Section 13.7), the following shall apply with respect to the terminated Compound (s)/Product(s) and terminated country(ies) (in addition to any other rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such termination).

(a) Licenses. The licenses granted to BMS in Section 7.1 shall terminate solely with respect to the Product(s) and country (ies) in which the termination becomes effective and BMS shall retain a non-exclusive, worldwide license under Section 7.1 to sell, offer for sale and import Products during the Commercialization Wind-Down Period in accordance with Section 13.7(b) (including the right to sell such Products through BMS Sublicensees if BMS were using such Sublicensees to sell same prior to such termination date). To the extent such obligations existed prior to such termination, BMS shall not have any Diligent Efforts obligations thereafter with respect to the Development and Commercialization of the terminated Compound(s)/Product(s) and terminated country(ies). [***]

(g) Remaining Inventories. [***]

(h) Royalty to BMS. Unless this Agreement was terminated by Ambrx pursuant to Section 13.3 or 13.4 or by BMS under Section 13.2(b) (in which case no royalty shall be owed by Ambrx), Ambrx shall pay BMS a royalty equal to [***] of net sales of such Product in the applicable terminated country by Ambrx or Ambrx’s Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees, provided that such termination occurs any time after [***].

days after the effective date of termination. Ambrx shall be responsible for recording all such assignments and BMS and its successors and assigns shall (a) reasonably cooperate with Ambrx’s efforts to do so, including satisfying the assignment and recording requirements of relevant patent offices and (b) reimburse Ambrx for all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Ambrx in connection with this Section 13.9. In addition, BMS hereby grants Ambrx an exclusive license under its interest in the Ex-US Product Specific Patents during the period from the effective date of the applicable termination until the applicable Ex-US Product Specific Patents are actually re-assigned to Ambrx.

13.10 Effects of Expiration of Agreement. Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term (i.e., in the case where there is no earlier termination pursuant to this Article 13), on a Compound-by-Compound, Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, the licenses granted to BMS under Article 7 with respect to Ambrx Technology shall convert to a non-exclusive, perpetual, fully paid-up, non-royalty-bearing, sublicensable license.

13.11 Other Remedies. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability or obligation that already has accrued prior to such expiration or termination, nor affect the survival of any provision hereof to the extent it is expressly stated to survive such termination.

The foregoing indemnity obligation shall not apply if the Ambrx Indemnitees materially fail to comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 15.3, or to the extent that any Ambrx Claim is subject to indemnity pursuant to Section 15.1 and/or is based on or alleges a breach by Ambrx or its Affiliates of an obligation under an agreement between Ambrx or its Affiliates and a Third Party.

15.3 Indemnification Procedures. The Party claiming indemnity under this Article 15 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the Party from whom indemnity is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after learning of the claim, suit, proceeding or cause of action for which indemnity is being sought (“Claim”), and, provided that the Indemnifying Party is not contesting the indemnity obligation, shall permit the Indemnifying Party to control and assume the defense of any litigation relating to such claim and disposition of any such Claim unless the Indemnifying Party is also a party (or likely to be named a party) to the proceeding in which such claim is made and the Indemnified Party gives notice to the Indemnifying Party that it may have defenses to such claim or proceeding that are in conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not be so entitled to assume the defense of the case. If the Indemnifying Party does assume the defense of any Claim, it (i) shall act diligently and in good faith with respect to all matters relating to the settlement or disposition of any Claim as the settlement or disposition relates to Parties being indemnified under this Article 15, (ii) shall cause such defense to be conducted by counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and (iii) shall not settle or otherwise resolve any Claim without prior notice to the Indemnified Party and the consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement involves anything other than the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in its defense of any claim for which the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense in accordance with this Section 15.3, and shall have the right (at its own expense) to be present in person or through counsel at all legal proceedings giving rise to the right of indemnification. So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently defending the Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle any such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Claim as provided above, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (b) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnified Party as provided in this Article 15.

15.4 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR (A) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES PAID OR PAYABLE TO A THIRD PARTY BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR WHICH THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION HEREUNDER, (B) A BREACH OF SECTION 11.1, (C) ANY BREACH OF ANY OF SECTIONS 12.1, 15.1 AND 15.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT BY A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES AND/OR (D) DAMAGES THAT ARE DUE TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE LIABLE PARTY (INCLUDING GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL BREACH WITH RESPECT TO THE MAKING OF A PARTY’S REPRESENTATIONS AND

- 58 - 

WARRANTIES IN ARTICLE 14) - IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED UPON A CLAIM OR ACTION OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

15.5 Insurance. BMS shall maintain a program of self-insurance sufficient to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and Ambrx shall procure and maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, with respect to its Research Program activities and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated to such Party at all times during which any Product is being clinically tested in human subjects or commercially distributed or sold. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 15. Ambrx shall provide BMS with written evidence of such insurance upon request. Ambrx shall provide BMS with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

16.1 Disputes; Resolution by Executive Officers. The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term that relate to decisions to be made by the Parties herein or to the Parties’ respective rights and/or obligations hereunder. It is the desire of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to arbitration or litigation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article 16 if and when a dispute arises under this Agreement, subject to Section 16.5.

Accordingly, any disputes, controversies or differences, other than a matter within the final decision-making authority of BMS, which may arise between the Parties out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement shall be promptly presented to the Alliance Managers for resolution. If the Alliance Managers are unable to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) Business Days after a matter has been presented to them, then upon the request of either Party by written notice, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith a possible resolution thereof, which good faith efforts shall include at least one in-person meeting between the Executive Officers of each Party within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by the other Party of such written notice. If the matter is not resolved within twenty (20) Business Days following presentation to the Executive Officers, then:

(a) if such dispute, controversy or difference involves an Arbitrable Matter, either Party may invoke the provisions of Section 16.2; or

(b) if such dispute, controversy or difference involves a Litigable Matter, either Party may pursue such remedies as it may deem necessary or appropriate.

16.2 Arbitration. Any Arbitrable Matter that is not resolved pursuant to Section 16.1, shall be settled by binding arbitration to be conducted as set forth below in this Section 16.2.

(a) Either Party, following the end of the twenty (20) Business Day period referenced in Section 16.1, may refer such issue to arbitration by submitting a written notice of such request to the other Party. In any proceeding under this Section 16.2, there shall be three (3) arbitrators. Within fourteen (14) days after delivery of such notice, each Party will nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The two arbitrators so nominated will nominate a third arbitrator to serve as chair of the arbitration tribunal, such nomination to be made within twenty (20)

- 59 - 

days after the selection of the second arbitrator. The arbitrators shall be neutral and independent of both Parties and all of their respective Affiliates, shall have significant experience and expertise in licensing and partnering agreements in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, shall have appropriate experience with respect to the matter(s) to be arbitrated, and shall have some experience in mediating or arbitrating issues relating to such agreements. In the case of any dispute involving an alleged failure to use Diligent Efforts, the arbitrators shall in addition be an individual with experience and expertise in the worldwide development and commercialization of pharmaceuticals and the business, legal and scientific considerations related thereto. In the case of a dispute involving a scientific or accounting matter or determination, an Expert having applicable expertise and experience will be selected by the Parties to assist the arbitrators in such scientific or accounting matter or determination (and the arbitrators will select such Expert if the Parties cannot agree on such Expert within twenty (20) days following the selection of the arbitrators). The governing law in Section 17.9 shall govern such proceedings. No individual will be appointed to arbitrate a dispute pursuant to this Agreement unless he or she agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.2. The place of arbitration will be New York, New York, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, and the arbitration shall be conducted in English.

(b) The arbitrators shall set a date for a hearing that shall be held no later than sixty (60) days following the appointment of the last of such three arbitrators. The Parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel. Except as provided herein, the arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA applicable at the time of the notice of arbitration pursuant to Section 16.2(a), including the right of each Party to undertake document requests and up to five (5) depositions.

(c) The arbitrators shall use their best efforts to rule on each disputed issue within thirty (30) days after completion of the hearing described in Section 16.2(b). The determination of the arbitrators as to the resolution of any dispute shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties, absent manifest error. All rulings of the arbitrators shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the Parties as soon as is reasonably possible. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the arbitrators to award punitive, exemplary or any similar damages. The arbitrators shall render a “reasoned decision” within the meaning of the Commercial Arbitration Rules which shall include findings of fact and conclusions of law. Any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by a court in accordance with Section 16.3 and Section 16.8.

16.3 Award. Any award to be paid by one Party to the other Party as determined by the arbitrators as set forth above under Section 16.2 shall be promptly paid in Dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the Party resisting enforcement. Each Party agrees to abide by the award rendered in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Article 16, and agrees that, subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, judgment may be entered upon the final award in a court of competent jurisdiction and that other courts may award full faith and credit to such judgment in order to enforce such award. With respect to money damages, nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit the arbitrators or any court or any other forum to award punitive or exemplary damages. By entering into this agreement to arbitrate, the Parties expressly waive any claim for punitive or exemplary damages. The only damages recoverable under this Agreement are compensatory damages.

16.4 Costs. Each Party shall bear its own legal fees in connection with any arbitration procedure. The arbitrators may in their discretion assess the arbitrators’ cost, fees and expenses (and those any Expert hired by the arbitrators) against the Party losing the arbitration.

16.5 Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this Article 16 will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute

- 60 - 

either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 16.5 shall otherwise limit a breaching Party’s opportunity to cure a material breach as permitted in accordance with Section 13.3 or Section 13.4.

16.6 Confidentiality. The arbitration proceeding shall be confidential and the arbitrators shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each Party’s Confidential Information. Except as required by Applicable Law, no Party shall make (or instruct the arbitrators to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrators without prior written consent of the other Party. The existence of any dispute submitted to arbitration, and any award, shall be kept in confidence by the Parties and the arbitrators, except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

16.7 Survivability. Any duty to arbitrate under this Agreement shall remain in effect and be enforceable after termination of this Agreement for any reason.

16.8 Patent and Trademark Disputes. Notwithstanding Section 16.2, any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the inventorship, scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patents or Marks Covering the manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of Products shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such patent or trademark rights were granted or arose.

17. MISCELLANEOUS

17.1 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto (which are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement), sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Prior CDA. In the event of any inconsistency between any plan hereunder (including any Development Plan or Commercialization plan) and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as are set forth herein and therein. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party.

17.2 Export Control. This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions concerning the export of products or technical information from the U.S. or other countries which may be imposed upon or related to Ambrx or BMS from time to time. Each Party agrees that it shall not export, directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a location or in a manner that at the time of export requires an export license or other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do so from the appropriate agency or other governmental entity.

17.3 Rights in Bankruptcy.

(a) All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by one Party to the other are, for all purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Title 11”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Title 11, and, in the event that a case under Title 11 is commenced by or against either Party (the “Bankrupt Party”), the other Party shall have all of the rights set forth in Section 365(n) of Title 11 to the maximum extent permitted thereby. During the Term, each Party

- 61 - 

shall create and maintain current copies to the extent practicable of all such intellectual property. Without limiting the Parties’ rights under Section 365(n) of Title 11, if a case under Title 11 is commenced by or against the Bankrupt Party, the other Party shall be entitled to a copy of any and all such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and the same, if not in the possession of such other Party, shall be promptly delivered to it (i) before this Agreement is rejected by or on behalf of the Bankrupt Party, within thirty (30) days after the other Party’s written request, unless the Bankrupt Party, or its trustee or receiver, elects within thirty (30) days to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) after any rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Bankrupt Party, if not previously delivered as provided under clause (i) above. All rights of the Parties under this Section 17.3 and under Section 365(n) of Title 11 are in addition to and not in substitution of any and all other rights, powers, and remedies that each Party may have under this Agreement, Title 11, and any other Applicable Law. The non-Bankrupt Party shall have the right to perform the obligations of the Bankrupt Party hereunder with respect to such intellectual property, but neither such provision nor such performance by the non-Bankrupt Party shall release the Bankrupt Party from any such obligation or liability for failing to perform it.

(b) The Parties agree that they intend the foregoing non-Bankrupt Party rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by law and any provisions of applicable contracts with Third Parties, including for purposes of Title 11, (i) the right of access to any intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) of the Bankrupt Party or any Third Party with whom the Bankrupt Party contracts to perform an obligation of the Bankrupt Party under this Agreement, and, in the case of the Third Party, which is necessary for the Development, Regulatory Approval and manufacture of Products and (ii) the right to contract directly with any Third Party described in (i) in this sentence to complete the contracted work.

(c) Any intellectual property provided pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17.3 shall be subject to the licenses set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and the payment obligations of this Agreement, which shall be deemed to be royalties for purposes of Title 11.

(d) In the event that after the Effective Date Ambrx enters into a license agreement with a Third Party with respect to intellectual property that will be sublicensed to BMS hereunder, Ambrx will use commercially reasonable efforts to enable BMS to receive a direct license from any such Third Party in the event that such license agreement between Ambrx and such Third Party is terminated during the Term solely on account of Ambrx becoming a Bankrupt Party.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 9, in the event that Ambrx is the Bankrupt Party, BMS may take appropriate actions in connection with the filing, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of any Ambrx Patent rights licensed or assigned to BMS under this Agreement without being required to consult with Ambrx before taking any such actions, provided that such actions are consistent with this Agreement.

17.4 Force Majeure. Each Party shall be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure (defined below) and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of such prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues. The Party affected by such force majeure also shall notify the other Party of the anticipated duration of such force majeure, any actions being taken to avoid or minimize its effect after such occurrence, and shall take reasonable efforts to remove the condition constituting such force majeure. For purposes of this Agreement, “force majeure” shall include conditions beyond the control of the Parties, including an act of God, acts of terrorism, voluntary or involuntary compliance with any regulation, law or order of any government, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), labor strike or lock-out, civil commotion, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm

- 62 - 

or like catastrophe. The payment of invoices due and owing hereunder shall in no event be delayed by the payer because of a force majeure affecting the payer.

17.5 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement, and shall be addressed to the appropriate Party at the address specified below or such other address as may be specified by such Party in writing in accordance with this Section 17.5, and shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes (a) when received, if hand-delivered or sent by a reputable international expedited delivery service, or (b) five (5) Business Days after mailing, if mailed by first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.

Each

- 63 - 

Party shall keep and maintain all records required by Applicable Law with respect to Products.

17.8 Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement or assign or transfer any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except that a Party may make such an assignment or transfer without the other Party’s consent (i) to any Affiliate of such Party, provided that such transfer shall not adversely affect the other Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and that such assigning/transferring Party remains jointly and severally liable with such Affiliate for the performance of this Agreement and/or the assigned obligations, or (ii) to any Third Party successor-in-interest or purchaser of all or substantially all of the business or assets of such Party to which this Agreement relates (with such business and assets, in the case of Ambrx, to include the Ambrx Technology and personnel with requisite expertise necessary to conduct any Research Program, including the generation of Compounds that are backups or alternatives to lead Compounds, and the conduct of any Production Strain Work), whether in a merger, combination, reorganization, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction; provided, however, that in each case (i) and (ii) that the assigning Party provides written notice to the other Party of such assignment and the assignee shall have agreed in writing to be bound (or is otherwise required by operation of Applicable Law to be bound) in the same manner as such assigning Party hereunder. In addition, either Party may assign its right to receive proceeds under this Agreement or grant a security interest in such right to receive proceeds under this Agreement to one or more Third Parties providing financing to such Party pursuant to the terms of a security or other agreement related to such financing (i.e., for purposes of a royalty financing arrangement). Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 17.8 shall be null, void and of no legal effect. For clarity, the provisions of this Section 17.8 shall not apply to or encompass sublicensing of the rights licensed to a Party under this Agreement.

17.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced under the substantive laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise make this Agreement subject to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. For clarification, any dispute relating to the inventorship, scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any patent right shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the patent laws of the applicable jurisdiction.

17.10 Performance by Affiliates. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party may discharge any obligations and exercise any right hereunder through any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.

17.12 Compliance with Applicable Law. Each Party shall comply with Applicable Law in the course of performing its obligations or exercising its rights pursuant to this Agreement. Neither Party (nor any of their Affiliates) shall be required under this Agreement to take any action or to omit to take any action otherwise required to be taken or omitted by it under this Agreement if the taking or omitting of such action, as the case may be, could in its opinion violate any settlement, consent order, corporate integrity agreement, or judgment to which it may be subject from time to time during the Term. Notwithstanding

- 64 - 

anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Party nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to take, or shall be penalized for not taking, any action that such Party reasonably believes is not in compliance with Applicable Law.

17.13 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

17.14 No Waiver. Neither Party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in writing. The failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition. No waiver by either Party of any condition or term in any one or more instances shall be construed as a continuing waiver of such condition or term or of another condition or term.

17.15 Interpretation. The captions and headings to this Agreement are for convenience only, and are to be of no force or effect in construing or interpreting any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Joint Press Release

 

Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb and Ambrx Announce Collaboration for Novel Biologics Programs in

Diabetes and Heart Failure

(PRINCETON, New Jersey, and LA JOLLA, California, September XX, 2011) - Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) and Ambrx, Inc. today announced a collaboration under which Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb will receive exclusive worldwide rights to research, develop and commercialize biologics based on Ambrx’s research surrounding the Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF-21) protein, for potential use in treating type 2 diabetes, and the Relaxin hormone, for potential use in treating heart failure. Derivatives of FGF-21 and Relaxin were developed using Ambrx’s unique ReCODE™ platform technology to modify the native proteins with amino acid building blocks beyond the common 20 to engineer enhanced versions for investigation for therapeutic use.

Under the terms of the agreement, Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb will make an upfront payment of $24 million to Ambrx. In addition, Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb will make potential milestone payments and royalty payments on worldwide sales for both programs. Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb and Ambrx will also enter research collaborations for both programs.

FGF-21 is a naturally occurring protein that has been characterized as a potent metabolic regulator, and has been shown to lower blood glucose, elevate good cholesterol and promote weight loss in preclinical studies. The lead compound in this program, ARX618, or PEG-FGF-21, is in the final stages of preclinical development.

Relaxin is a naturally occurring hormone known for its role in pregnancy and childbirth. Preclinical studies suggest Relaxin may aid in the treatment of heart failure by improving cardiac function. This program is in preclinical development.

- 98 - 

“Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb has a strong heritage discovering, developing and delivering medicines to treat diabetes and cardiovascular disease,” said Xxxxxxx Cuss, senior vice president, Research, Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb. “As part of our String of Pearls strategy we seek to build relationships with companies that have innovative programs and capabilities that complement our own internal efforts. We are excited to be working with Ambrx, which has used its unique ReCODE technology to create precisely engineered investigational biologics in both of these therapeutic areas. Our combined expertise will provide the best chance of bringing these innovative medicines to patients.”

Added Xxxxx Xxxxx, chief business officer of Ambrx, “These programs have shown tremendous potential in preclinical studies, and we believe that Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb has the necessary expertise to best lead their continued development. We look forward to using the revenues from this partnership to continue to grow our internal pipeline, which includes our promising antibody drug conjugate programs.”
