Party’s receipt of such Opt-Out Notice (the “Opt-Out Effective Date”). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a Party, after uncured material breach, is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out
Option pursuant to Section 14.2(b), then both the date of the Opt-Out Notice and the Opt-Out
Effective Date for such Opt-Out Option shall be deemed to be the date on which the other Party
provides the notice under Section 14.2(b) to continue this Agreement and all Collaboration Products
shall become Royalty Products on such date.
7.5 Consequences of Opt-Out.
(a) The Opt-Out Party’s obligations and rights to Co-Develop and Co-Commercialize a particular
Opt-Out Product shall terminate upon the applicable Opt-Out Effective Date, and the Opt-Out Party

the incorporation of such data or reports in any regulatory submissions; and the Opt-Out Party’s
rights to participate in regulatory activities and meetings shall terminate;
(v) all Committees except the JPC shall cease to have any rights, obligations or decision-making
capabilities with respect to such Royalty Product and, if there are no Collaboration Products still
being pursued at such time, shall disband until such time, if ever, that a Collaboration Product is
being pursued. All decisions that were made by such Committees under this Agreement with respect
to the Royalty Product prior to the Opt-Out Effective Date shall thereafter be made solely by the
Non-Opt-Out Party consistent with such Party’s obligations under Section 7.5(b)(i). The JPC shall
continue subject to Section 10.3 unless a Party has exercised or is deemed to have exercised its
Opt-Out Option in respect of all Collaboration Products, in which case all decisions that were made
by the JPC prior to the Opt-Out Effective Date shall be made solely by the Non-Opt-Out Party
consistent with such Party’s obligations under Section 7.5(b)(i);
(vi) if the Opt-Out Party is the Lead Manufacturing Party of the Royalty Product(s), as part
of and during the period of the Transition Assistance (1) the Non-Opt-Out Party shall have the
right to require the Opt-Out Party to continue supplying Bulk API and finished Product for such

44
the Non-Opt-Out Party to Manufacture, or have Manufactured such Royalty Product(s). The
Non-Opt-Out Party automatically owns one-half (1/2) of any or all of the inventory in existence as
of the Opt-Out Effective Date of Bulk API and/or finished Product for such Royalty Product (such
inventory, the “Existing Inventory”). In addition, the Non-Opt-Out Party shall have the right to
purchase the other half of the Existing Inventory from the Opt-Out Party by reimbursing the Opt-Out
Party for the Manufacturing Costs with respect to such Existing Inventory. The Non-Opt-Out Party
shall notify the Opt-Out Party within [*] after the Effective Opt-Out Date whether the Non-Opt-Out
Party elects to exercise such right to purchase the other half of the Existing Inventory;
(vii) the Opt-Out Party shall, as promptly as commercially practicable, assign to the
Non-Opt-Out Party all right, title and interest in and to the Marks owned by the Opt-Out Party that
were used or intended to be used with the Royalty Products (excluding any such Marks that include,
in whole or part, any corporate name or logo of the Opt-Out Party or its Affiliates or permitted
sublicensees), including any goodwill associated therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, only those
Marks that have been (A) identified as the single designated lead candidate Xxxx for a
non-commercialized Royalty Product, or (B) actually used in connection with a Commercialized
Royalty Product, shall be assigned. The Non-Opt-Out Party shall be responsible for recording such
assignment in the Territory with the appropriate Governmental Authority and will bear all costs
associated with such assignment and recordation. The Opt-Out Party shall cooperate in facilitating
such assignment and recordation by timely executing all necessary documents provided to it by the
Non-Opt-Out Party;
(viii) in lieu of the Product Profit payments it would have received if the Opt-Out Party had
not exercised its Opt-Out Option or the Opt-Out Party had not been deemed to have exercised its
Opt-Out Option under Section 14.2(b) with respect to such Royalty Product, the Opt-Out Party shall
receive from the Non-Opt-Out Party royalties on the Net Sales of the Royalty Product(s) as provided
for under Section 9.5;
(ix) the Opt-Out Party shall use Diligent Efforts to effect the assignment or the granting of
a sublicense or equivalent right of access to the Non-Opt-Out Party, whether through novation or
sublicensing of such contracts or otherwise, of any and all rights under any contract between the
Opt-Out Party and any Third Party that are reasonably necessary for the Non-Opt-Out Party to
continue with Development or Commercialization of such Royalty Product, and the Non-Opt-Out Party
shall reasonably cooperate in connection therewith, provided that if such assignment, novation or
sublicense is not permissible, the Parties shall discuss in good faith potential alternatives that
would enable the Non-Opt-Out Party to exercise at the Non-Opt-Out Party’s expense (on a
pass-through basis) the rights and perform the obligations of the Opt-Out Party under such
contracts with respect to such Royalty Product while minimizing the continuing obligations of the
Opt-Out Party under such contract with respect to such Royalty Product, and, unless the Non-Opt-Out
Party informs the Opt-Out Party in writing that [*], the Opt-Out Party shall [*]; and
(x)
a. in the event of an Opt-Out pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 8.5, the Non-Opt-Out Party
shall reimburse the Opt-Out Party for [*] of the reasonable

45
expenses incurred by the Opt-Out Party in the course of performing its transfer obligations
pursuant to Sections 7.5(b)(iii), 7.5(b)(iv), 7.5(vi)(2) and 7.5(vii), provided that any request
for reimbursement of such expenses is accompanied by invoices, and/or such other appropriate
supporting documentation evidencing in reasonable detail the expenses for which reimbursement is
allowed under this Section 7.5(b)(x); and
b. in the event of an Opt-Out pursuant to Section 7.3, the Non-Opt-Out Party shall reimburse
the Opt-Out Party for [*] of the reasonable expenses incurred by the Opt-Out Party in the course of
performing its transfer obligations pursuant to Sections 7.5(b)(iii), 7.5(b)(iv), 7.5(vi)(2) and

for which reimbursement is allowed under this Section 7.5(b)(x).
8. LICENSES.
8.1 License to Facet. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Trubion,
effective as of the Signing Date, hereby grants to Facet an exclusive license (exclusive even as to
Trubion, except to the extent necessary for Trubion to perform its obligations and exercise its

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted to Facet under this Section 8.1 shall terminate
with respect to an Opt-Out Product effective (a) as of the Opt-Out Effective Date for such Product
if Facet exercises or is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option, and (b) [*]. For clarity,
the rights granted to Facet under this Section 8.1 shall remain in full force and effect if Trubion

such license shall be co-exclusive, solely for the purpose of, and limited to, Trubion’s exercise
of its rights and performance of its obligations under this Agreement, to Develop, use, make,
Manufacture, import, export, distribute, market, offer for sale, sell and Commercialize
Collaboration Products, in the Field, in the Territory in accordance with the terms of this

hereby grants to Trubion an exclusive, royalty-bearing license, with the right to grant sublicenses
in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3, under the Facet Applied Technology, to Develop,
use, make, Manufacture, import, export, distribute, market, offer for
*Confidential Treatment Requested.
46
sale, sell and Commercialize such Royalty Product, in the Field, in the Territory in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
8.3 Sublicensing.
(a) No Sublicensing. Except as set forth in Sections 8.3(b) and 8.3(c), neither Party shall
sublicense any of the rights granted to it under this Agreement to any Third Party without the
prior written consent of the other Party, provided that either Party may sublicense such rights:
(i) to its Affiliates, further provided that any such sublicense to an Affiliate shall immediately
terminate if and when such entity ceases to be an Affiliate of such Party, and (ii) subject to
Sections 3.5(a) and 3.5(b), to subcontractors or consultants to perform such Party’s assigned
Development, Manufacturing or Commercialization responsibilities under this Agreement with respect
to Collaboration Products, further provided that (A) such Party remains responsible for the work
allocated to, and payment to, such subcontractors and consultants to the same extent it would if it
were doing such work itself, (B) such sublicense shall be subject and subordinate to, and
consistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (C) such sublicense shall not in any
way diminish, reduce or eliminate any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and (D)
such Party uses Diligent Efforts to include in such sublicense agreement a provision which permits
such Party to provide a copy of such sublicense agreement to the other Party, which copy may be
redacted to exclude confidential information not related to the applicable Collaboration Product.
Unless prohibited by the terms of the sublicense, such Party shall provide the other Party with a
copy of each such sublicense agreement entered into after the Signing Date within [*] after the
execution thereof, which agreement may be redacted to exclude confidential information not related
to the applicable Collaboration Product.
(b) Joint Sublicense. The Parties acknowledge that they may, upon mutual agreement, both
grant sublicenses to a Third Party with respect to a particular Collaboration Product, including
with respect to a particular country or indication.
(c) Upon Opt-Out. At any time after its delivery or deemed delivery of a Pursuit Notice with
respect to a particular Royalty Product, the Non-Opt-Out Party may grant to one or more Third
Parties sublicenses of some or all of the rights granted to it under Section 8.1 or 8.2(b), as
applicable, but only with respect to such Royalty Product; provided that the Non-Opt-Out Party
shall execute a written agreement with each such permitted sublicensee, which sublicense (i) shall
be subject and subordinate to, and consistent with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
(ii) shall not in any way diminish, reduce or eliminate any of the Non-Opt-Out Party’s obligations
under this Agreement, (iii) shall require each such permitted sublicensee to comply with all
applicable terms of this Agreement, including to keep books and records, and (iv) shall permit the
Non-Opt-Out Party to audit (either directly or through an independent auditor) such books and
records. The Non-Opt-Out Party shall provide the Opt-Out Party with a copy of each such sublicense
agreement within [*] after the execution thereof. Such copy may be redacted to exclude
confidential, non-Royalty Product-related information and financial information (other than such
financial information that is necessary for assessing the obligations to the Opt-Out Party under
this Agreement). Upon the Opt-Out Party’s request and at the Opt-Out Party’s expense, the
Non-Opt-Out Party shall exercise its right to conduct an audit of a sublicensee’s books and records
pertaining to the sale of the applicable Royalty Product under any such sublicense agreement at the
next time that conducting such an audit is permissible
*Confidential Treatment Requested.
47
under such sublicense agreement. The Non-Opt-Out Party shall provide the Opt-Out Party with a
copy of the report of the findings made in any such audit. If such audit reveals that such
sublicensee has understated its Net Sales by [*] or more, the Non-Opt-Out Party shall be
responsible for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the Opt-Out Party in conducting the audit.
The Non-Opt-Out Party shall remain responsible for its obligations hereunder and for the
performance of its sublicensees (including, without limitation, making all payments due to the
Opt-Out Party by reason of any Net Sales of Royalty Product), and shall ensure that any such
sublicensees comply with all relevant provisions of this Agreement. In the event of any uncured
material breach by any sublicensee under a sublicense agreement that would constitute a material
breach of the Non-Opt-Out Party’s obligations under this Agreement, the Non-Opt-Out Party will
promptly inform the Opt-Out Party in writing and shall take such action which in the Non-Opt-Out
Party’s reasonable business judgment will address such default; provided, however, any such uncured
material breach by such sublicensee of an obligation that would constitute a material breach of the
Non-Opt-Out Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed an uncured material breach of
the Non-Opt-Out Party hereunder unless the Non-Opt-Out Party cures such material breach within the
time provided under Section 14.2.
8.4 No Implied Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall be
deemed by estoppel or implication to have granted the other Party any license or other right with
respect to any intellectual property of such Party.
8.5 Exclusivity. Except for the Development and Commercialization of Products pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, during the Term neither Party shall Develop or Commercialize any protein
therapeutic, including any [*], that binds to the CD37 Antigen [*] (a “Competing Program”). In the
event that, due to a Change of Control of a Party, such Party, or its successor in interest, is
conducting a Competing Program during the Term of this Agreement, then such Party, or its successor
in interest, shall either (a) exercise its Opt-Out Option with respect to all Collaboration
Products by providing an Opt-Out Notice to the other Party; or (b) divest such Competing Program to
a Third Party, in each case within [*] of such Change of Control.
8.6 [*]. Each Party shall promptly bring to the attention of the JSC (or the other Party if
there is no JSC in place at the time) any [*] that such Party wishes to Develop and Commercialize
during the Term. Upon the recommendation of the JSC (or the mutual agreement of the Parties if
there is no JSC in place at the time), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an agreement to
Develop and Commercialize such [*] on commercially reasonable terms.
8.7 Third Party Licenses. If the JPC determines that it is advisable or necessary to obtain a
license (“Future Third Party License”) to any intellectual property right that is owned or
controlled by a Third Party and is reasonably necessary or useful to the Development, Manufacture,
or Commercialization of a Collaboration Product, the JPC shall so advise the JSC. If the JSC
determines to seek a license, the JSC shall designate a Party to negotiate the terms on which such
a Third Party license would be granted and to serve as the primary point of contact with the
applicable Third Party licensor following the execution of the license agreement. Upon approval of
the terms of such Future Third Party License by the JSC, the designated Party may execute such
Future Third Party License and any payments that become due pursuant to a Future Third Party
License agreement executed pursuant to this Section 8.7 will be treated as
*Confidential Treatment Requested.
48
Development Costs or Commercialization Costs, as applicable, if incurred prior to the Opt-Out
Effective Date or after the Opt-Out Effective Date but with respect to a Collaboration Product. If
a Party delivers or is deemed to have delivered a Pursuit Notice for a Collaboration Product, any
payments arising under a Future Third Party License from the Development, Manufacturing or
Commercialization of the applicable Royalty Product shall be paid by such Non-Opt-Out Party,
subject to Section 9.5(e)(iii).
9. CONSIDERATION.
9.1 Upfront Payment. Facet shall pay to Trubion Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00)
within ten (10) days after the Signing Date, which payment shall be non-refundable and
non-creditable.
9.2 Equity Investment. Facet and Trubion have entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit C, pursuant to which Facet will purchase from Trubion and
Trubion will sell to Facet Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) of newly issued shares of common
stock of Trubion at a purchase price per share equal to One Hundred Thirty-Five Percent (135%) of
the average closing price of a share of common stock of Trubion over the sixty (60) trading days
prior to the Signing Date provided that such purchase price (including the 35% premium) shall not
be greater than $[*]/share or lower than $[*]/share of common stock of Trubion.
9.3 Development Milestone Payments. Facet shall make milestone payments (each a “Milestone
Payment”) to Trubion based on the first achievement of each milestone event in the Field, in the
Territory for each Product as set forth in this Section 9.3. No Milestone Payment shall be made
twice with respect to the same Product. For the purposes of this Section 9.3, two Products are
deemed the “same Product” if one Product contains, as its active pharmaceutical ingredient, [*].
Facet shall pay to Trubion the amounts set forth below, within [*] after the first achievement of
the corresponding milestone event with respect to the Product. Each Milestone Payment is
non-refundable and non-creditable against any other payments due hereunder, provided that if the
Development of a Product is abandoned, any Milestone Payments made with respect to such abandoned
Product may be credited against the corresponding Milestone Payments payable on a Product which
achieves such milestones after the abandonment of the other Product. For the purposes of this
Section 9.3, the “[*]” of a Clinical Trial shall occur upon [*], “[*]” and “[*]” shall be [*] or,
[*]. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Trubion is deemed pursuant to
Section 14.2(b) to have exercised its Opt-Out Option with respect to all Products on account of an
uncured material breach by Trubion, the amount of the milestone payments due pursuant to this
Section 9.3 with respect to milestone events achieved by all Products after Facet has provided
Trubion with written notice of continuation in accordance with Section 14.2(b) shall be reduced by
[*].

9.4 Sharing of Product Profit.
(a) Allocation. Facet and Trubion shall share equally in Product Profit (which, for the
avoidance of doubt, includes sharing of losses in a given period if the calculation of Product
Profit for such period is negative) arising from the sale of each Collaboration Product in the
Field in the Territory.
(b) FTE Records and Calculations. Each Party shall record its FTE effort for the
Commercialization of each Collaboration Product to the extent that such FTE efforts are included in
Commercialization Costs that are, or may in the future be, shared under this Agreement, and shall
report such FTE effort to the JCC, on a Calendar Quarterly basis, in each case in a manner that
allocates such FTE effort to the extent practicable to each applicable Collaboration Product.
Except to the extent provided herein, each Party shall calculate and maintain records of FTE effort
incurred by it in the same manner as used for other products commercialized by such Party in
accordance with a methodology approved by the JSC. The JFC shall facilitate any reporting
hereunder.
(c) Commercialization Costs Accounts. Each Party shall charge all Commercialization Costs as
incurred by it or its Affiliates on its books and records in connection with each Commercialization
Plan. Each Party shall provide the other Party with an interim
*Confidential Treatment Requested.
50
quarterly report of monthly estimates for the current Calendar Quarter charges within [*]
after the end of the second calendar month in each Calendar Quarter.
(d) Other Expenses. Any expenses incurred by a Party for Commercialization activities that do
not fall within the definitions of Commercialization Costs shall be borne solely by such Party
unless the JSC determines otherwise. In addition, each Party shall bear all costs incurred pursuant
to the Commercialization Plan, that exceed the portion of the Commercialization Budget allocated to
the Party with respect to the relevant Calendar Quarter by more than [*] unless otherwise approved
by the JSC.
(e) Pre-existing Obligations. Unless otherwise determined by the JSC, any manufacturing
obligations in existence prior to the Signing Date, such as manufacturing capacity reservation or
other obligations described in Section 6.3, other than those disclosed in writing by the obligated
Party prior to the Signing Date and specifically agreed upon by the Parties, will not be considered
Commercialization Costs and will not be subject to expense sharing.
(f) Reporting. Within [*] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, commencing with the first
Calendar Quarter in which the Parties are implementing a Commercialization Plan for a particular
Collaboration Product, each Party shall report to the JCC and the JFC its gross sales and
Commercialization Costs for such Collaboration Product in the Territory. In addition, each Party
shall provide the JCC and the JFC with a monthly statement on a Product-by-Product and
country-by-country basis of the amount of gross sales of Collaboration Products.
(g) Payment. Within [*] after receipt of such reports, the JFC shall provide for such
Collaboration Product a consolidated financial statement setting forth the Product Profit for such
Collaboration Product and calculating each Party’s fifty percent (50%) share of such Product
Profit. Thereafter the following remittance obligations shall apply for such Collaboration Product
depending on whether such Product Profit is positive or negative:
(i) If there is positive Product Profit for such Calendar Quarter, then one Party shall make a
payment to the other Party within [*] following delivery of the financial statement referenced
above in an amount that will cause each Party to have received an equal share of the Product Profit
for such Calendar Quarter.
(ii) If there is negative Product Profit for such Calendar Quarter, then one Party shall make
a payment to the other Party so that each Party will bear an equal share of the Product Profit for
such Calendar Quarter. Such payment shall be made within [*] following delivery of the financial
statement referenced above.
(h) Records. Each Party shall keep detailed records of the Commercialization Costs it incurs,
including all supporting documentation for such expenses, and remits for payment. Each Party shall
keep such records for at least [*] after the date that such expense was incurred.

Non-Opt-Out Party reasonably believes are necessary in connection with the Development, Manufacture
or Commercialization of a Royalty Product in the Field in the Territory.
(iv) During the Royalty Period, the operation of Sections [*] individually or in combination

9.5(a)-(d).
(f) Expiration of Royalty Period. After the expiration of the Royalty Period for any Royalty
Product in any country in the Territory, no further royalties shall be payable in respect of sales
of such Royalty Product in such country and thereafter the licenses granted to the Non-Opt-Out
Party under Section 8.1 or 8.2, as applicable, with respect to such Royalty Product in such country
shall be fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive licenses.
(g) Cumulative Royalties. The obligation to pay royalties under Section 9.5 shall be imposed
only once with respect to a single unit of a Royalty Product, regardless of how many Valid Claims
included within the Trubion Patent Rights, or Facet Applied Patent Rights would, but for this
Agreement, be infringed by the Manufacture, use, import, offer for sale or sale of such Royalty
Product in the countr(y)ies in the Territory of such Manufacture, use or sale.

9.9 Maintenance of Records; Audits; Consolidation.
(a) Record Keeping. Each Party shall keep accurate books and accounts of record in accordance

accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by the Auditing Party and reasonably
acceptable to the Audited Party, to examine, at the Auditing Party’s sole expense, the relevant
books and records of the Audited Party as may be reasonably necessary to verify the

55
accuracy of (a) reports for Development Costs, (b) Manufacturing Costs, (c) Commercialization
Costs and (d) the reports submitted by the Audited Party in accordance with this Agreement in
connection with the payment of royalties and other amounts hereunder. An examination by the
Auditing Party under this Section 9.9(b) shall occur not more than once in any Calendar Year and
shall be limited to the pertinent books and records for any Calendar Year ending not more than [*]
before the date of the request. The accounting firm shall be provided access to such books and
records at the Audited Party’s facility(ies) where such books and records are normally kept and
such examination shall be conducted during the Audited Party’s normal business hours. The Audited
Party may require the accounting firm to sign a standard non-disclosure agreement before providing
the accounting firm access to the Audited Party’s facilities or records. Upon completion of the
audit, the accounting firm shall provide both the Audited Party and the Auditing Party a written
report disclosing whether the reports submitted by the Audited Party are correct or incorrect,
whether the amounts paid are correct or incorrect, and in each case, the specific details
concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to the Auditing Party.
(c) Underpayments/Overpayments. If such accounting firm concludes that additional royalties
or other payments were due to the Auditing Party, the Audited Party shall pay to the Auditing Party
the additional amounts within [*] of the date the Audited Party receives such accountant’s written
report so concluding. If an underpayment exceeds [*] of the amounts that were to be paid to the
Auditing Party, the Audited Party also shall reimburse the Auditing Party for all costs and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conducting the audit. If such accounting firm
concludes that the Audited Party overpaid the Auditing Party, the Auditing Party, within [*] of the
date the Auditing Party receives such account’s report so concluding, will refund such overpayments
to the Audited Party less the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Auditing Party in
conducting the audit.
(d) Confidentiality. All financial information of the Audited Party with respect to a Royalty
Product which is subject to review under this Section 9.9 shall be deemed to be the Audited Party’s
Confidential Information subject to the provisions of Article 11, and the Auditing Party shall not
disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party or use such Confidential Information for
any purpose other than verifying payments to be made by the Audited Party with respect to such
Royalty Product; provided, however, that such Confidential Information may be disclosed by the
Auditing Party to Third Parties only to the extent necessary to enforce the Auditing Party’s rights
under this Agreement. All financial information of the Audited Party with respect to a
Collaboration Product which is subject to review under this Section 9.9 shall be deemed to be the
Confidential Information of both Parties subject to the provisions of Article
(e) Consolidation. In the event that a Party is, in the opinion of its independent registered
accounting firm, reasonably required to consolidate or otherwise report in the financial statements
of such Party (the “Consolidating Party”), all or a portion of the financial performance of the
other Party (the “Consolidated Party”) for any financial reporting periods, then the Consolidating
Party shall promptly notify the Consolidated Party of such determination in writing, and the
Consolidated Party agrees to cooperate and promptly provide reasonable access to its books and
records in order for the Consolidating Party to fulfill its financial reporting obligations.

10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
10.1 Ownership of Collaboration Inventions.
(a) The JPC shall, within a reasonable time after the Signing Date, establish and oversee a
mutually agreeable procedure for (i) identifying and disclosing all inventions and Know-How
generated by one or both Parties, their Affiliates or their respective employees, agents, or
independent contractors in the course of conducting activities under this Agreement (“Collaboration
Inventions”); and (ii) determining inventorship of each such Collaboration Invention, provided that
such determination shall be made in accordance with United States patent laws.
(b) Each Party shall solely own all Collaboration Inventions invented solely by its and/or its
Affiliates’ respective employees, agents and/or independent contractors.
(c) All Collaboration Inventions invented jointly by one or more employees, agents, or
independent contractors of Trubion and/or its Affiliates and one or more employees, agents, or
independent contractors of Facet and/or its Affiliates (collectively, “Joint Inventions”) shall be
owned jointly by the Parties in accordance with joint ownership interests of co-inventors under
United States patent laws (that is, each Party shall have full rights to license, assign and
exploit such Joint Inventions (and any patents arising therefrom) anywhere in the world, without
any requirement of gaining the consent of, or accounting to, the other Party), subject to the
licenses granted herein and subject to any other intellectual property held by such other Party.
(d) This Agreement is intended by the Parties to be entered into pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 103(c),
as such section may be amended from time to time. For clarity, Collaboration Inventions are
intended by the Parties to be subject to 35 U.S.C. 103(c)(1) and this Agreement is intended by the
Parties to be deemed a “joint research agreement” as defined in 35 U.S.C. 103(c)(3), as such
sections may be amended from time to time.
10.2 Disclosure of Inventions. Each Party shall promptly disclose to the JPC all
Collaboration Inventions, including all invention disclosures or other similar documents submitted
to such Party by its, or its Affiliates’ employees, agents or independent contractors describing
Collaboration Inventions.
10.3 Prosecution of Patents.
(a) Trubion Core Patent Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.3, as between
the Parties, Trubion shall have the sole right and authority to prepare, file, prosecute (including
any oppositions, interferences, reissue proceedings, reexaminations and post-grant proceedings) and
maintain the Trubion Core Patent Rights in any jurisdiction in the Territory, provided that
decisions regarding any claims within the Trubion Core Patent Rights that claim [*] and do not
claim [*] shall be made by the JPC. Trubion shall provide Facet (i) a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment on such filing and prosecution efforts regarding the Trubion Core Patent Rights
in the Territory; (ii) a copy of each material communication received from any patent authority in
the Territory regarding the Trubion Core Patent Rights, and (iii) drafts of any material filings or
material responses to be made to such patent authorities a
*Confidential Treatment Requested.
57
reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. If Trubion
determines in its sole discretion to abandon, cease prosecution or not maintain any Trubion Core
Patent Right anywhere in the Territory, then Trubion shall provide Facet written notice of such
determination at least [*] before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment (or other
loss of rights) and shall provide Facet with the opportunity to prepare, file, prosecute and
maintain such Trubion Core Patent Right in the affected countries of the Territory on behalf of
Trubion. If Facet desires Trubion to file, in a particular jurisdiction in the Territory, a Trubion
Core Patent Right that claims priority to (or is based on the subject matter of) another Trubion
Core Patent Right, Facet shall provide written notice to Trubion requesting that Trubion file such
patent application in such jurisdiction. If Facet provides such written notice to Trubion, Trubion
shall either (i) file and prosecute such patent application and maintain any patent issuing thereon
in such jurisdiction, or (ii) notify Facet that Trubion does not desire to file such patent
application and provide Facet with the opportunity to file and prosecute such patent application
and maintain any patent issuing thereon on behalf of Trubion. Facet’s rights under this Section
10.3 with respect to any Trubion Core Patent Right licensed to Trubion by a Third Party shall be
subject to the rights of such Third Party to file, prosecute, and/or maintain such Trubion Core
Patent Right. Facet shall be responsible for [*] of the out-of-pocket costs incurred by Trubion in
the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Trubion Core Patent Rights and
such costs shall not be included in Development Costs or Commercialization Costs. If Facet
provides written notice to Trubion that Facet is no longer interested in maintaining a license to a
particular Trubion Core Patent Right in a particular country, Facet will not be responsible for any
portion of the costs incurred by Trubion after the date of such notice in connection with the
preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of such Trubion Core Patent Right in such country,
and the license granted to Facet under such Trubion Core Patent Right in such country shall
terminate upon the delivery of such notice. If Facet assumes responsibility for any Trubion Core
Patent Rights, then all costs incurred by Facet in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and
maintaining such Trubion Core Patent Rights shall be borne by Facet, without reimbursement by
Trubion, and such costs shall not be included in Development Costs or Commercialization Costs. If
Trubion has exercised or is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option in respect of all Products
under this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, 7.3, 8.5 or 14.2(b), following the Opt-Out Effective
Date, all costs incurred by Trubion in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining
the Trubion Core Patent Rights shall be borne solely by Trubion. If Facet has exercised or is
deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option in respect of all Products under this Agreement
pursuant to Section 7.2, 7.3, 8.5 or 14.2(b), following the Opt-Out Effective Date, all costs
incurred by Trubion in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Trubion
Core Patent Rights shall be borne solely by Trubion and Facet shall not have any rights pursuant to
this Section 10.3(a) with respect to the Trubion Core Patent Rights; provided, however, if Facet
notifies Trubion in writing within [*] following the Opt-Out Effective Date, with respect to one or
more Trubion Core Patent Rights, that Facet will continue to be responsible for [*] of the
out-of-pocket costs incurred by Trubion in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and
maintaining such Trubion Core Patent Right(s), then Facet will continue to have all rights set
forth in this Section 10.3(a) with respect to such Trubion Core Patent Right(s).
*Confidential Treatment Requested.
58
(b) Trubion Product Patent Rights, Facet Product Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights.
(i) This Section 10.3(b)(i) shall apply if neither Party has exercised its Opt-Out Option, or
is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option under Section 14.2(b). Decisions regarding the
preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of Trubion Product Patent Rights, Facet Product
Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights, as well as any claims within the Trubion Core Patent Rights
that claim [*] and do not claim [*], in any jurisdiction in the Territory shall be made by the JPC.
The JPC shall designate a Party (the “Implementing Party”) to be responsible, using its in-house
counsel or outside patent counsel reasonably acceptable to the other Party, to implement the
decisions of the JPC regarding the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of such Patent
Rights, provided that Trubion shall be the Implementing Party for Trubion Product Patent Rights and
Facet shall be the Implementing Party for Facet Product Patent Rights. The Implementing Party
shall provide the JPC (i) a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution
efforts regarding such Patent Rights in the Territory, (ii) a copy of each material communication
received from any patent authority in the Territory regarding such Patent Rights, and (iii) drafts
of any material filings or material responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable
amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. Each Party shall be responsible
for fifty percent (50%) of the out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Parties in the course of
preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining such Patent Rights and such costs shall be included
in Development Costs if incurred prior to First Commercial Sale of a Collaboration Product or
Commercialization Costs if incurred after First Commercial Sale of a Collaboration Product.
(ii) This Section 10.3(b)(ii) shall apply if a Party has exercised its Opt-Out Option, or is
deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option under Section 14.2(b), the Non-Opt-Out Party has
delivered or is deemed to have delivered a Pursuit Notice, and the Parties are not actively
Developing or Commercializing any Collaboration Products. Subject to this Section 10.3(b)(ii), the
Non-Opt-Out Party shall make and implement decisions regarding the preparation, filing,
prosecution, and maintenance of Trubion Product Patent Rights, Facet Product Patent Rights and
Joint Patent Rights, as well as any claims within the Trubion Core Patent Rights that claim [*] and
do not claim [*], in any jurisdiction in the Territory. The Non-Opt-Out Party shall provide the
Opt-Out Party: (i) a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts
regarding such Patent Rights in the Territory; (ii) a copy of material communications from any
patent authority in the Territory regarding such Patent Rights; and (iii) drafts of any material
filings or material responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in
advance of submitting such filings or responses. If the Non-Opt-Out Party determines to abandon,
cease prosecution or not maintain any such Patent Right anywhere in the Territory, then it shall
provide the Opt-Out Party written notice of such determination at least [*] before any deadline for
taking action to avoid abandonment (or other loss of rights) and shall provide the Opt-Out Party
with the opportunity to assume the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patent
Right in the affected countries of the Territory. Each Party shall be responsible for one hundred
percent (100%) of the costs it incurs in the course of preparing, filing, prosecuting and
maintaining such Patent Rights and such costs shall not be included in Development Costs or
Commercialization Costs.
(iii) If a Party has exercised its Opt-Out Option and the Non-Opt-Out Party has delivered a
Pursuit Notice, but the Parties still are actively Developing or Commercializing one or more
Collaboration Products (i.e. Products for which neither Party has exercised its Opt-Out Option),
then (i) the provisions of Section 10.3(b)(ii) shall apply to (1) all
*Confidential Treatment Requested.
59
Joint Patent Rights, Trubion Product Patent Rights and Facet Product Patent Rights that claim
[*] and [*] in each case in all jurisdictions in the Territory and (2) all claims within the
Trubion Core Patent Rights that claim [*] and do not claim [*], and (ii) the provisions of Section
10.3(b)(i) shall apply to (1) any other Joint Patent Right, Trubion Product Patent Rights and Facet
Product Patent Rights and (2) all claims within the Trubion Core Patent Rights that claim [*] and
do not claim [*].
(c) Divisional Patent Application. At the request of Facet or at Trubion’s election, Trubion
shall file a continuation or divisional patent application of any Trubion Core Patent Right that
contains a claim that claims [*] and does not claim [*], including U.S. Patent Application Serial
Number [*], if permitted by applicable Laws, shall pursue in such continuation or divisional patent
applications claims specifically directed to one or more Products and shall not pursue in such
continuation or divisional patent applications any claims specifically directed to the product
known [*] or any other product that is not a Product. Such continuation or divisional patent
applications shall be deemed Trubion Product Patent Rights.
(d) Patents Licensed from Third Parties. If either Party licenses after the Signing Date any
Patent Rights from a Third Party and such Patent Rights qualify as Trubion Patent Rights or Facet
Product Patent Rights, then each Party’s rights under this Section 10.3 with respect to such Patent
Rights shall be subject to the rights of such Third Party to prosecute, maintain and extend such
Patent Rights.
10.4 Infringement Actions.
(a) Notification of Litigation. In the event of the institution of any suit by a Third Party
against either Trubion or Facet or otherwise, in respect of patent infringement involving the
manufacture, use, sale, license, offer for sale, marketing, import or export of a Product within
the Field anywhere in the Territory, any Party sued or to whom notice or knowledge of such
proceeding shall arise, shall promptly notify the other Party in writing.
(b) Information and Settlement. Each Party shall keep the other Party informed of the status
of any patent infringement litigation or settlement thereof concerning the Products within the
Field in the Territory.
10.5 Enforcement of Patent Rights.
(a) Notice and Consultation. If either Facet or Trubion becomes aware of any infringement,
anywhere in the Territory, of any issued patent within the Trubion Patent Rights, Facet Product
Patent Rights, Facet Collaboration Patent Rights, or Joint Patent Rights, which infringing activity
adversely affects or is reasonably expected to adversely affect any Product, it will promptly
notify the other Party in writing to that effect and the Parties will consult with each other
regarding any actions to be taken with respect to such infringing activity.
(b) Enforcement of Patent Rights Before Opt-Out. If neither Party has exercised or is deemed
to have exercised its Opt-Out Option, the Parties shall have the joint right, but neither Party
shall be obligated, to take action to obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against
a Third Party infringer of (1) the Trubion Patent Rights, Facet Collaboration Patent Rights, or
Facet Product Patent Rights, [*] or (2) the Joint Patent Rights,

[*]. If both Parties wish to so enforce such Patent Rights, Trubion and Facet shall be
jointly responsible for, and shall bear equally, all the costs and expenses of any such suit
brought by them. Any recoveries obtained by the Parties as a result of any proceeding against such
Third Party infringer shall be allocated as follows:
(i) [*]; and
(ii) [*].
If one Party elects not to participate in the infringement action and the Parties have not obtained
a discontinuance of the infringement of such Patent Rights, then the other Party shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against
such Third Party infringer of (3) the Trubion Patent Rights, Facet Collaboration Patent Rights
or Facet Product Patent Rights, [*] or (4) the Joint Patent Rights, [*]; provided in each case that
the pursuing Party shall bear all of the expenses of such suit. The other Party will cooperate
with the pursuing Party in any such suit and shall have the right to consult with the pursuing
Party and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own
expense. Any recoveries obtained by the pursuing Party as a result of any such proceeding against
a Third Party infringer shall be allocated as follows:
(iii) [*];
(iv) [*];
(c) Enforcement of Patent Rights After Opt-Out. If a Party has exercised or is deemed to have
exercised its Opt-Out Option with respect to a Collaboration Product under this Agreement and the

resulting Royalty Product, the Non-Opt-Out Party shall have the first right, but not the
obligation, to take action to obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against a Third
Party infringer of (1) the Trubion Patent Rights, Facet Collaboration Patent Rights or Facet
Product Patent Rights that are licensed to the Non-Opt-Out Party, [*] or (2) the Joint Patent
Rights, [*]. If the Non-Opt-Out Party does not wish to enforce such Patent Rights, it shall timely
notify the Opt-Out Party in writing and the Opt-Out Party shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to take action to obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against a Third
Party infringer of (3) the Trubion Patent Rights, Facet Collaboration Patent Rights or Facet
Product Patent Rights that are licensed to the Non-Opt-Out Party, [*] or (4) the Joint Patent
Rights, [*]. The pursuing Party shall bear all of the expenses of such suit. The other Party will
cooperate with the pursuing Party in any such suit and shall have the right to consult with the

(d) Patents Licensed from Third Parties. If either Party licenses any Patent Rights from a
Third Party and such Patent Rights qualify as Trubion Patent Rights or Facet Product Patent Rights,

copy of the necessary documentation to enable such other Party to use the same for the purpose of
obtaining the extension in such country.

intervene to preserve the confidentiality of the information by, for example, seeking an
appropriate protective order.

may be further extended. In addition, upon the non-publishing Party’s request, the publishing
Party shall delete from the proposed submission any Confidential Information of the non-publishing
Party; provided, however, [*]. Trubion and Facet will each comply with standard academic practice

purposes, without first obtaining the written approval of the other Party and agreement upon the
nature and text of such announcement or disclosure.
11.5 Non-Solicitation. Without the prior written consent of the other Party, each of Trubion
and Facet agrees that during the Term and for [*] thereafter, neither it nor any of its Affiliates
will directly or indirectly solicit for purposes of hiring any person employed by the other Party
or any of its Affiliates or who was employed by the other Party or any of its Affiliates within the

provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.5 shall prohibit Facet or Trubion, as the case
may be, from hiring any employees of the other who respond to general employment solicitations not
targeted at employees of a Party or any of its Affiliates, including general advertisements.
12. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

and does not require any shareholder action or approval, (iii) it has the corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations and to grant the
licenses granted by it to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement, and (iv) the execution,
delivery and performance by Trubion of this Agreement and its compliance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement does not and will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of
the terms and provisions of or constitute a default under (A) any agreement or instrument binding
or affecting it or the subject matter of this Agreement; (B) the provisions of its charter or
operative documents or bylaws; or (C) any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
governmental authority entered against it or by which any of its property is bound except where
such conflict, breach or default would not materially impact (I) Trubion’s ability to meet its
obligations hereunder or (II) the rights granted to Facet hereunder.
12.2 Additional Representations of Trubion. In addition, except as disclosed in Schedule
12.2, Trubion hereby represents and warrants as of the Signing Date that:
*Confidential Treatment Requested
65
(a) it has provided a complete and accurate list of all Third Party vendor contracts and Third
Party licenses in effect as of the Signing Date to which Trubion or a Trubion Affiliate is a Party
(i) that are reasonably necessary for the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of TRU-016
or any other Product in the Field in the Territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
or (ii) pursuant to which Development, Manufacture or Commercialization services are being provided
or have been ordered as of the Signing Date with respect to TRU-016 or any other Product in the
Field in the Territory, all such contracts and licenses are in full force in accordance with their
terms except as would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, materially
impair the ability of the Parties to exercise the rights and perform the obligations under this
Agreement and Trubion is not in breach of any material term thereof;
(b) except for the intellectual property licensed to Trubion pursuant the license agreements
listed in Schedule 12.2(b), it owns all right, title and interest in and to all of the
Trubion Patent Rights and Trubion Know-How; such license agreements do not and will not require
Trubion to make any royalty payments or other payments (other than services fees or other payments
not expressly identified as fees for the use of intellectual property rights) to the applicable
Third Party licensors in consideration for the exercise of the rights licensed to Trubion as of the
Signing Date under such licenses;
(c) it does not own and has not licensed any intellectual property that in each case would
otherwise qualify as Trubion Patent Rights or material Trubion Know-How that is reasonably
necessary for the Development, Manufacture, use, importation or Commercialization of Products in
the Field under the terms of this Agreement, but for the fact that such intellectual property is
not licensable to Facet hereunder and therefore not Controlled by Trubion (and, due solely to such
lack of Control despite owning or holding a license thereto, does not meet the definition of
Trubion Patent Rights or Trubion Know-How);
(d) it has not received any written notice asserting or alleging that the research or
Development of any Product by or on behalf Trubion prior to the Signing Date infringed or
misappropriated the intellectual property rights of any Third Party;

shall be liable to the other Party under this Agreement for any indirect, incidental, punitive,
exemplary, special or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever sustained as a result of a
breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that this limitation will not reduce or affect the
Parties’ obligations in respect of Third Party claims under Section 13.2 or Section 13.3.
13.2 Mutual Indemnification. Each Party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other
Party and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents,
representatives, successors and assigns from and against all Third Party claims, complaints, recall
obligations and liabilities, or lawsuits for damages (collectively referred to as “Claims”) arising
out of (i) any negligent act or omission, or willful wrongdoing by the indemnifying Party, its
Affiliate or sublicensees in the performance of this Agreement, (ii) the failure by the
indemnifying Party, its Affiliate or sublicensees to comply with any applicable Law or governmental
requirement, and/or (iii) any breach of any representation or warranty of the indemnifying Party
contained in this Agreement. The indemnifying Party shall not be obligated under this Section 13.2
to the extent that the Claim was the result of the non-performance, negligence or willful
misconduct of the indemnified Party or anyone acting on behalf of the indemnified Party, including
its Affiliates and sublicensees, and its and their officers, directors, shareholders, employees,
agents, representatives, successors and assigns.
13.3 Indemnification After Opt-Out. In addition to its obligations under Section 13.2, if a
Party has exercised or is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option with respect to a Product and

obligated under this Section 13.3 to the extent that the Claim was the result of the
nonperformance, negligence or willful misconduct of the Opt-Out Party or anyone acting on behalf of
the Opt-Out Party, including its Affiliates or sublicensees, and their officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns.
13.4 Limitations on Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless set
forth in Sections 13.2 and 13.3 shall be contingent upon the Party seeking indemnification (the
“Indemnitee”): (i) notifying the indemnifying Party of a claim, demand or suit within ten (10) days

shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation except to the extent the
indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby; (ii) allowing the indemnifying Party and/or its insurers
the right to assume direction and control of the defense of any such

of a Collaboration Product within the Field anywhere in the Territory for such activities during
the Term for which neither Party is responsible under Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 the Parties
shall cooperate and jointly control the defense and settlement of the suit and all out-of-pocket
litigation expenses incurred by the Parties in the defense or settlement of the suit as well as all
damages awarded against a Party or agreed to by the Parties in a settlement shall be considered

Commercialization Costs, if incurred after the First Commercial Sale of such Collaboration Product,
or [*].
13.6 Insurance. During the Term and for a period of [*] after the Term, or, in the case of a
Party that has exercised or is deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option in respect of all
Products under this Agreement until [*] after the final Opt-Out Effective Date, each Party shall
obtain and/or maintain, respectively, at its sole cost and expense, product liability insurance in
amounts, respectively, which are reasonable and customary in the pharmaceutical industry for
companies of comparable size and activities at the respective place of business of each Party;
provided that such amounts shall not be less than [*] before the first dosing of the first patient
in the initial Phase III Clinical Study (or the transition to the pivotal phase of a Phase II/III
Clinical Study) of a Product and shall not be less than [*] thereafter. Such product liability
insurance shall insure against all liability, including personal injury, physical injury, or
property damage arising out of the manufacture, sale, distribution, or marketing of the
Collaboration Products and the Royalty Products (solely in the event that the policy holder is the
Non-Opt-Out Party with respect thereto) in the Territory. Each Party shall provide written proof
of the existence of such insurance to the other Party upon request.
14. TERM AND TERMINATION.
14.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Signing Date and, unless earlier
terminated pursuant to this Article 14, shall expire on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country
basis (a) in respect of Royalty Products, upon expiration of the Royalty Period for the Royalty
Product in the country and (b) in respect of Collaboration Products, at such time as Facet and
Trubion and their Affiliates and permitted sublicensees have all stopped selling the Collaboration
Product in the country and the Commercialization Plan does not contemplate future sales of the
Collaboration Product in the country (the “Term”). If the Term or license has not been earlier
terminated, upon the expiration of the Term on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis,
the licenses granted to each Party hereunder shall, with respect to such
*Confidential Treatment Requested
69
Product(s) and country(ies), upon and after such expiration, become nonexclusive, royalty-free, paid-up and irrevocable.
14.2 Termination by Either Party for Breach.
(a) Breach. Subject to Section 14.2(c), each Party shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party materially breaches its
obligations under this Agreement and, after receiving written notice from the non-breaching Party
identifying such material breach in reasonable detail, fails to cure such material breach within
[*] from the date of such notice (or within [*] from the date of such notice in the event such
material breach is solely based upon the breaching Party’s failure to pay any amounts due
hereunder); provided that if such material breach is not reasonably subject to cure within the [*]
period from notice, then the breaching Party shall have an additional [*] to effect such cure if it
is undertaking Diligent Efforts to cure such breach and shall have provided a written plan
reasonably acceptable to the non-breaching Party to cure such breach within such additional period.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the breaching Party shall not have the
right to exercise its Opt-Out Option pursuant to Section 7.2 and Facet shall not have the right to
terminate the Agreement under Section 14.3 during the period between its receipt of the notice of a
material breach and its cure of such material breach or the resolution of any dispute with respect
thereto pursuant to Section 14.2(c); provided that if such dispute is resolved in the favor of such
alleged breaching Party, such Party shall be entitled to exercise its Opt-Out Option pursuant to
Section 7.2 or, in the case of Facet, its right to terminate the Agreement under Section 14.3
within [*] of such resolution if it was deprived of the ability to exercise its Opt-Out Option on
account of this sentence.
(b) Continuation. If the non-breaching Party has the right to terminate this Agreement under
Section 14.2(a), then, instead of terminating this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may elect to
continue this Agreement by notice to the breaching Party, provided, however, if the non-breaching
Party elects to continue this Agreement, upon written notice of continuation from the non-breaching
Party, then the breaching Party shall be deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option and the notice
pursuant to this Section 14.2(b) shall be deemed an “Opt-Out Notice” and a “Pursuit Notice” with
respect to all Products under this Agreement regardless of whether such breach related to any
particular Product and the provisions of Section 7.5 shall apply with respect to all Products under
this Agreement and the breaching Party shall bear [*] of the reasonable expenses incurred by the
non-breaching Party in the course of performing its transfer obligations pursuant to Sections
7.5(b)(iii), 7.5(b)(iv), 7.5(vi)(2) and 7.5(vii). The preceding sentence shall not in any event
limit in any manner the non-breaching Party’s other remedies for an uncured material breach of this
Agreement.
(c) Disputed Breach. If the alleged breaching Party disputes in good faith the existence or
materiality of a breach specified in a notice provided by the other Party in accordance with
Section 14.2(a), and such alleged breaching Party provides the other Party notice of such dispute
and its intention to seek arbitration or judgment by a court pursuant to Article 15 within such [*]
period (or [*] period for failure to make any payment), then the non-breaching Party shall not have
the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 14.2(a) unless and until an arbitrator or
court, in accordance with Article 15, has determined that the alleged breaching Party has
materially breached this Agreement and that such Party fails to cure such
*Confidential Treatment Requested
70
breach within [*] following such decision of such arbitrator or court (except to the extent
such breach involves the failure to make a payment when due, which breach must be cured within [*]
following such decision of such arbitrator or court). It is understood and agreed that during the
pendency of such dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect
and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder.
14.3 Termination by Facet at Will. Facet shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in
its entirety upon [*] prior written notice to Trubion, provided that, within eighteen (18) months
after the Signing Date, such notice shall only be effective if accompanied by the payment of a
termination fee equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, Facet shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the
preceding sentence after Facet has been deemed to have exercised its Opt-Out Option on account of
an uncured breach pursuant to Section 14.2(b).
14.4 Effects of Termination by Facet at Will. Upon termination of this Agreement by Facet
under Section 14.3, the following shall apply (in addition to any other rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to such termination):
(a) Licenses. The licenses granted in Article 8 shall terminate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Facet hereby grants to Trubion, effective only upon such termination, a [*] license,
[*], under the [*] to Develop, make, have made, use, import, export, offer for sale, sell and
Commercialize any Products that are in active clinical development or are Commercialized as of the
date of termination for the Field in the Territory, provided that [*]. In all cases where any
element of the Facet Applied Technology is licensed to Facet by a Third Party, as a condition
precedent for a license to be granted to Trubion pursuant to this Section 14.4(a), Trubion shall be
required to agree in writing within [*] of the effective date of termination to pay any payments,
including royalties on sales by Trubion or its permitted sublicensees, that accrue and become
payable to such Third Party licensor after the effective date of the license to Trubion. Facet will
not be obligated to maintain any Third Party license agreement in effect unless Trubion timely
exercises its rights as provided in the foregoing sentence or to grant sublicenses under this
Section 14.4(a), if Facet is prohibited from granting such sublicenses under its agreement(s) with
its licensor(s), but shall be required to use Diligent Efforts to obtain permission to grant such a
sublicense from any such licensor(s).
(b) Marks. Facet shall, as promptly as commercially practicable, assign to Trubion all of
Facet’s right, title and interest in and to the Marks used or to be used with the Products
(excluding any such Marks that include, in whole or part, any corporate name or logo of Facet or
its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees), including any goodwill associated therewith. For the
avoidance of doubt, only those Marks which have been (i) identified prior to the effective date of
termination of this Agreement as the single designated lead candidate Xxxx for a non-commercialized
Product, or (ii) actually used in connection with a Commercialized Product, shall be assigned.
Trubion shall be responsible for recording such assignment in the Territory with the appropriate
Governmental Authority and will bear all costs associated with such assignment and recordation.
Facet shall cooperate in facilitating such assignment and recordation by timely executing all
necessary documents provided to it by Trubion.
*Confidential Treatment Requested
71
(c) Regulatory Materials. Facet shall transfer and assign to Trubion in the form and format in
which such materials are maintained by Facet in the ordinary course of business, all Regulatory
Materials for Products in the Territory that are Controlled by Facet or its Affiliates or permitted
sublicensees.
(d) Transition Assistance. Facet shall, [*], provide Transition Assistance for the purpose of
transferring or transitioning to Trubion, (i) in the form and format in which such Facet Applied
Know-How is maintained by Facet in the ordinary course of business, all Facet Applied Know-How not
already in Trubion’s possession, and (ii) at Trubion’s request, all then-existing Third Party
agreements relating solely to Products hereunder and that Facet is able, using Diligent Efforts to,
assign to Trubion, in each case, to the extent reasonably necessary for Trubion to continue
researching, Developing, Manufacturing, or Commercializing Products, provided, however, that Facet
shall be required to assign any such agreement solely to the extent assignment is permitted by such
agreement, and Facet is not required to pay any consideration or commence litigation in order to
effect an assignment of any such agreement to Trubion.
(e) Remaining Inventories. Trubion shall have the right to purchase from Facet [*] (less any
portion of the cost previously shared by Trubion as a Development Cost or Commercialization Cost)
any or all of the inventory of Bulk API and/or Products held by or for Facet or its Affiliates as
of the effective date of termination pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Commercial
Supply Agreement, as applicable. Trubion shall notify Facet within [*] after the effective date of
termination whether Trubion elects to exercise such right.
14.5 Effect of Termination by Trubion for Uncured Breach. Upon termination of this Agreement
by Trubion under Section 14.2(a), the licenses granted under Article 8 shall terminate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Facet hereby grants Trubion, effective only upon such termination, a
[*] license, [*], under [*], to Develop, make, have made, use, import, export, offer for sale, sell
and Commercialize any Products that are [*]. In addition, Facet shall comply with Section 14.4(c).
14.6 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 of this Agreement to the extent
it is expressly stated to survive such termination. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for
any reason shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise be deemed to prejudice or
adversely affect, any rights, remedies or claims, whether for damages or otherwise, that a Party
may have hereunder or that may arise out of or in connection with such termination or expiration.
14.7 Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this
Agreement by Trubion and Facet are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section
365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as
defined under Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that each Party,
as licensee of certain rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its
rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that, in
the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party (such Party, the
“Bankrupt Party”) under the United States Bankruptcy Code, (a) the other Party shall be

72
entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any intellectual
property licensed to such other Party and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if
not already in such other Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (x) upon any such
commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon such other Party’s written request therefor, unless
the Bankrupt Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (y)
if not delivered under clause (x), following the rejection of this Agreement by the Bankrupt Party
upon written request therefor by the other Party and (b) the Bankrupt Party shall not interfere
with the other Party’s rights to intellectual property and all embodiments of intellectual
property, and shall assist and not interfere with the other Party in obtaining intellectual
property and all embodiments of intellectual property from another entity. The “embodiments” of
intellectual property includes all tangible, intangible, electronic or other embodiments of rights
and licenses hereunder, including all compounds and products embodying intellectual property,
Products, filings with Regulatory Authorities and related rights and Trubion Know-How in the case
that Trubion is the Bankrupt Party and Facet Applied Know-How in the case Facet is the Bankrupt
Party.
14.8 Continuing Rights and Obligations. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not
affect rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that have accrued prior to the
date of termination or expiration of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the
following provisions shall survive and apply after expiration or termination of this Agreement:
[*]. In addition, the other applicable provisions of Article 9 shall survive to the extent required
to make final reimbursements, reconciliations or other payments with respect to Product Profits,
Net Sales and costs and expenses incurred or accrued prior to the date of termination or
expiration. Furthermore, any other provision required to interpret or to enforce the Parties’
remaining rights and obligations under this Agreement shall also survive, but only to the extent
required for the full observation and performance of this Agreement. All provisions not surviving
in accordance with the foregoing shall terminate upon expiration or termination of this Agreement
and be of no further force and effect.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; LIABILITY.
15.1 General. Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement

referred to the Executive Officers to be resolved by negotiation in good faith as soon as is
practicable but in no event later than [*] after referral.
15.2 Failure of Executive Officers to Resolve Dispute. If the Executive Officers are unable

respect to the matter subject to arbitration. Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator, and the
third arbitrator shall be selected jointly by the two arbitrators appointed by the Parties, unless

level of scientific, financial, medical and industry knowledge relevant to the particular dispute.
The written decision of the arbitrators shall state the panel’s findings of material facts and the
grounds for its conclusions and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and

particular dispute. Within [*] after the selection of the arbitrator, each Party shall submit to
the arbitrator and the other Party a proposed resolution of the dispute that is the subject of the
arbitration, together with any relevant evidence in support thereof (the “Proposals”). Within [*]
after the delivery of the last Proposal to the arbitrator, each Party may submit a written rebuttal
of the other Party’s Proposal and may also amend and re-submit its original Proposal. The Parties
and the arbitrator shall meet within [*] after the Parties have submitted their final Proposals
(and rebuttals, if any), at which time each Party shall have [*] to argue in support of its
Proposal. The Parties shall not have the right to call any witnesses in support of their
arguments, nor compel any production of documents or take any discovery from the other Party in
preparation for the meeting. Within [*] after such meeting, the arbitrator shall select one of the
final Proposals so submitted by one of the Parties as the resolution of the dispute, but may not
alter the terms of either final Proposal and may not resolve the dispute in a manner other than by
selection of one of the submitted final Proposals. If a Party fails to submit a Proposal within the
initial [*] time frame set forth in the fourth sentence of this Section 15.3(c), the arbitrator

forth in this Section 15.3(c) may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties.
(d) Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses)
relating to the arbitration proceeding, except that the fees of the arbitrator(s) and other related
costs of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the Parties, unless the arbitrator(s)

positions taken by the other Party, in which event the arbitrator(s) may make an award of all
or any portion of such expenses so incurred.

claim relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patent Rights or
trademark rights 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 Rights
or trademark rights were granted or arose.
16. MISCELLANEOUS.
16.1 Assignment. Except as provided in subsections (a) and (b) below, neither this Agreement
nor any interest hereunder shall be assignable by either Party, without the prior written consent

appearing herein shall be deemed to include the names of such Party’s successors and permitted
assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. In addition to the
foregoing, each Party may assign its right, in whole or part, to receive payments under this
Agreement. Any assignment not in accordance with this Section 16.1 shall be void. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that a Party undergoes an acquisition by a
Third Party, no intellectual property rights of the Third Party assignee, acquiror or successor of
such Party or any Affiliate of such Third Party shall be included in the subject matter licensed
hereunder, to the extent that such intellectual property rights were held by the Third Party prior
to the acquisition, or are created outside of any activities under this Agreement by personnel who
were not employees of the acquired Party at the time of the acquisition. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that a Party makes an assignment pursuant to
subsection (b) below to a Third Party, no intellectual property rights of the Third Party assignee
or any Affiliate of such Third Party shall be included in the subject matter licensed hereunder, to
the extent that such intellectual property rights were held by the Third Party prior to the
assignment, or are created outside of any activities under this Agreement by personnel who were not

Agreement without the other Party’s consent to an Affiliate or to a successor to substantially all
of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates, whether in merger, sale of stock,

(b) Each Party may assign all of its rights and delegate all of its obligations under this
Agreement without the other Party’s consent to a Third Party who is not a successor to such Party
as described in Section 16.1(a), if such Third Party is not a CD37 Competitor,
75
provided that: (i) before commencing negotiations with such a Third Party for such an
assignment, the assigning Party shall notify the other Party, and the Parties shall have [*] to
negotiate in good faith a non-binding term sheet setting forth the principal terms and conditions
under which the assigning Party would assign such rights and delegate such obligations to the other
Party. If the Parties agree on such non-binding term sheet within the [*]-period, then the Parties
shall have an additional time period, not to exceed [*] from the receipt of the notice from the
assigning Party, to enter into a definitive agreement based on the terms of the non-binding term
sheet. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the assigning Party shall at all times be
free to engage in concurrent negotiations with one or more Third Parties but shall not conclude an
assignment with a Third Party during the [*] period described above during which the Parties are
negotiating the term sheet and/or during the [*] period described above during which the Parties
are negotiating the definitive agreement; and (iii) the assigning Party shall also assign or
otherwise grant a license to such Third Party assignee to all of its Patent Rights and Know-How
under its Control that are specific to the Products, and grant to such Third Party assignee all
other rights and deliver to such Third Party assignee all information and materials in each case
that is reasonably necessary for such Third Party assignee to perform the assigning Party’s

16.6 Representation by Legal Counsel. Each Party hereto represents that it has been
represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and acknowledges that it has
participated in the drafting of this Agreement. In interpreting and applying the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that no presumption shall exist or be implied
against the Party which drafted such terms and provisions.
16.7 Amendment. No amendment, modification or supplement of any provision of this Agreement
shall be valid or effective unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of each
Party.
16.8 Waiver. Except as expressly limited by the terms of this Agreement, no failure on the
part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no
delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this
Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or
partial exercise of any such power, right privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No provision of this Agreement
shall be waived by any act, omission or knowledge of a Party or its agents or employees except by
an instrument in writing expressly waiving such provision and signed by a duly authorized officer
of the waiving Party. The waiver by either of the Parties of any breach of any provision of this
Agreement by the other Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such
provision or a waiver of the provision itself.
16.9 Severability. If any clause or portion thereof in this Agreement is for any reason held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the same shall not affect any other portion of this
Agreement, as it is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement shall be construed in such
fashion as to maintain its existence, validity and enforceability to the greatest extent possible.
In any such event, this Agreement shall be construed as if such clause of portion thereof had never
been contained in this Agreement, and there shall be deemed substituted therefor such provision as
will most nearly carry out the intent of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law.
16.10 Construction
(a) The descriptive headings of this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall be of no
force or effect in construing or interpreting any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the
drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
78
(c) Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Articles”, “Sections,”
“Exhibits” and “Schedules” are intended to refer to Articles and Sections of this Agreement, and
Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement.
16.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the
substantive laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles thereof.
16.12 Entire Agreement of the Parties. This Agreement constitutes and contains the complete, final
and exclusive understanding and agreement of the Parties and cancels and supersedes any and all
prior negotiations, correspondence, understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, among
the Parties respecting the subject matter of this Agreement and thereof. For clarity, the rights
and obligations of the Parties on and after the Signing Date with respect to disclosures made under
the Non-Disclosure Agreement that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be solely as
set forth in this Agreement but the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
with respect to all other disclosures made thereunder.
16.13 Independent Contractors. Both Parties are independent contractors under this Agreement.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or
partnership relationship between the Parties hereto or any of their agents or employees, or any
other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of
the other Party. Neither Party shall have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts
or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to
bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.
16.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which need not contain the signature of more than one Party but all such counterparts taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature page delivered by facsimile or
electronic image transmission shall be binding upon the Parties and shall be treated as if
originals. Any Party that delivers a signature page by facsimile or electronic image transmission
shall deliver an original counterpart to any other Party that requests such original counterpart.
