development studies. Each Party shall appoint representatives who are employees
of such Party to the JPT and the JPT shall consist of an equal number of
representatives of each Party as are reasonably necessary to accomplish the
goals of the JPT hereunder. The number of representatives may change from time
to time. Such representatives will include, without limitation, individuals with
expertise and responsibilities in the areas of research, clinical development,
process sciences, regulatory affairs, product development and marketing, as
applicable to the stage of development of the Licensed Product. One such
representative from each Party shall be designated as that Party's "Project Team
Leader" to act as the primary JPT contact for that Party. Each Party may replace
any or all of its representatives with other employees of such Party at any
time. Any member of the JPT may designate a substitute employee of such Party to
attend and perform the functions of that member at any meeting of the JPT. The
JPT will meet in person or by conference call on a regular basis, not fewer than
one time per quarter.
(ii) JOINT PROJECT TEAM RESPONSIBILITIES: The JPT
will be responsible for:
a. Discussing the overall pre-clinical and clinical
development program and the initial and subsequent
annual Development Plans (if TolerRx has exercised and
continues to participate in the US Profit/Loss Sharing
Option in accordance with Section 6.5 and
Execution Copy - 8 -

ARTICLE 3
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
3.1. DEVELOPMENT PLAN. Genentech shall use Commercially Reasonable
and Diligent Efforts to create a Development Plan (which shall be attached as
Exhibit E hereto) within sixty (60) days and no later than ninety (90) days from
the Effective Date, which may be modified by the JSC (as provided above) from
time to time. TolerRx understands that Genentech's performance is dependent in
part on the TolerRx's actions, including but not limited to TolerRx providing
the detailed description of the studies set forth in Section 3.4(b)(i) in a
timely manner. TolerRx shall have the opportunity to provide input and
suggestions with regard to the Development Plan. The Parties initially agree to
develop a Licensed Product related to immune tolerance. Only upon the JSC's
written approval shall the Parties perform any activities other than work
related to immune tolerance. The Development Plan shall be updated by Genentech
for each calendar year and submitted to the JSC for consideration and approval
at least three months prior to the beginning of the next calendar year. The
Development Plan will include specific tasks, milestones, and estimated
timelines. As set forth in Section 3.4(b) and 3.4(f), it is anticipated that the
Development Plan may assign specific tasks to TolerRx. TolerRx shall hold in
confidence, not use (except to perform its obligations under the Development
Plan), and not disclose to anyone any and all information arising out of TolerRx
Development Plan Work (as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto), except that
TolerRx may disclose such information to Isis only to the extent required under
the Isis Agreement and only pursuant to Section 5.3(a)(iii). The foregoing
confidentiality obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement by
Genentech under Sections 9.3 or 9.4 or expiration of this Agreement. In all
events, Genentech shall have final authority regarding the Development Plan and
the content thereof. For avoidance of doubt, the Development Plan shall exclude
marketing and other commercialization activities. The Development Plan and any
modifications thereto shall be approved by the JSC in the written minutes of the
applicable JSC meeting; anything not approved by the JSC in such written minutes
shall be deemed to be excluded from the Development Plan.
3.2. DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, Genentech agrees to use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent
Efforts to research, develop and obtain Regulatory Approval of a Genentech
selected Licensed Product in at least the United States and Europe. As used in
this Agreement, the term "Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts" will
mean those efforts and resources consistent with the exercise of prudent
scientific and business judgment, as applied to other pharmaceutical products of
similar market potential and market size, probability of technical success, risk
of failure, and at a similar stage in the development or life of such product.
Genentech shall have full responsibility for the conduct of all research and
development activities related to Licensed Products set forth in the Development
Plan, except that TolerRx is responsible for TolerRx's obligations set forth in
Section 3.4. Genentech and TolerRx shall provide written progress reports to the
JSC every twelve (12) months with respect to the research, development and
Regulatory Approval of Licensed Product.

GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
the Field in the Territory, except for US Costs (as defined in Exhibit A) if
TolerRx exercises the US Profit/Loss Sharing Option (as defined in Section 6.5).
If TolerRx exercises the US Profit/Loss Sharing Option, then all US Costs shall
be shared between Genentech and TolerRx, as provided below and in accordance
with the Financial Planning, Accounting and Reporting Procedures attached hereto
as EXHIBIT A, so that Genentech bears [***] of such costs and TolerRx bears
[***] of such costs. There shall be a reconciliation of such costs which are to
be shared and which are incurred during the prior reporting period by each
Party, in accordance with EXHIBIT A, with a payment by one Party to the other to
the extent necessary so that each Party bears its appropriate percentage of such
shared US Costs.
3.4. TOLERRX'S DEVELOPMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) TRANSFER OF MATERIALS AND INFORMATION. TolerRx agrees to
provide to Genentech, promptly after execution of this Agreement and at
TolerRx's cost, all materials and information related to TolerRx Patent Rights
and/or TolerRx Know-how including, but not limited to, Antibodies and
information obtained under the Third Party Agreements.
(b) TOLERRX STUDIES UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
(i) The Parties anticipate that TolerRx may perform
certain pre-clinical and clinical studies set forth in the Development Plan for
Licensed Products, designed to assess clear performance against pre-defined
decision criteria set forth in the Development Plan. If the JSC approves of
TolerRx's request to perform such studies on the Licensed Product, TolerRx will
receive a milestone payment of $[***] in the aggregate promptly after the
commencement of both the (A) preclinical study entitled "Preclinical Factor VIII
Study" and the (B) clinical study entitled "Human United Kingdom Phase I Study"
to the extent approved by the JSC and set forth in the Development Plan. For the
avoidance of doubt, TolerRx shall receive only one aggregate payment of $[***]
promptly after commencement of both of the foregoing studies. The Parties
anticipate that TolerRx shall begin both of such studies in 2003. TolerRx will
receive a milestone payment of $[***] upon completion of the clinical study
entitled "Factor VIII Clinical Study" only as approved by the JSC and set forth
in the Development Plan. The Parties anticipate that TolerRx shall begin such
study entitled "Factor VIII Clinical Study" in 2004. TolerRx shall provide a
detailed description of the foregoing studies to Genentech promptly after the
Effective Date so that such description of such studies, to the extent approved
by the JSC, shall be included in the Development Plan. For the avoidance of
doubt, the aggregate total of such milestone payments set forth in this Section
3.4(b) shall not exceed $[***]. For clarity, in no event shall Genentech have
any other payment obligations for any costs incurred by TolerRx except as
otherwise decided by the JSC and except as expressly provided herein. If
Genentech elects to use the results of the foregoing studies to develop and/or
commercialize the Licensed Product, and if TolerRx has exercised and continues
to participate in the US Profit/Loss Sharing Option in accordance with Section
6.5 and Exhibit A, then the total reasonable cost of such studies shall be
included in the calculation of "Development Costs" set forth in Exhibit A and
shall be shared in accordance with Exhibit A,
* Confidential treatment requested:
material has been omitted and filed
separately with the Commission.
Execution Copy - 11 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
provided that any balancing payments owed by one Party to the other Party shall
be adjusted so that the milestone payments of $[***] are deducted from
Genentech's balancing payment (if any). For example, if the total reasonable
cost of all of the above studies is $[***], and Genentech has paid the $[***] as
set forth above, then, if Genentech elects to use the results of the foregoing
studies to develop and/or commercialize the Licensed Product, and if TolerRx has
exercised and continues to participate in the US Profit/Loss Sharing Option in
accordance with Section 6.5 and Exhibit A, then the balancing payment for the
foregoing by Genentech shall be $[***].
(ii) Except for the rights granted to TolerRx
hereunder to perform its obligations under this Section 3.4(b), TolerRx shall
not use and, except to the minimum extent required by applicable law, rule or
regulation and subject to Section 5.3(a)(iii), shall not disclose to anyone
(except to Genentech) any and all results arising out of such studies, except
with prior written approval of Genentech. TolerRx shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to report all results of such studies to Genentech; TolerRx
shall report such results no later than thirty (30) days from the date such
results become available.
(c) Pre-Clinical and Clinical Development Outside of the
Development Plan.
(i) At its sole expense, TolerRx may perform
pre-clinical and clinical studies related to Licensed Products not described in
the Development Plan ("TolerRx PreClinical and Clinical Development"), only if
TolerRx submits such study plans to the JSC and only if Genentech approves of
such TolerRx PreClinical and Clinical Development and determines that such
TolerRx PreClinical and Clinical Development is not detrimental to the safety,
prospects, or reputation of any Licensed Product, Genentech, or any other
Genentech product. TolerRx shall not perform any activities related to any
Product unless approved by the JSC. Except for the rights granted to TolerRx
hereunder to perform its obligations under this Section 3.4(c), TolerRx shall
not use and, except to the minimum extent required by applicable law, rule or
regulation, and subject to Section 5.3(a)(iii), TolerRx shall not disclose to
anyone (except to Genentech) any and all results arising out of TolerRx
PreClinical and Clinical Development, except with prior written approval of
Genentech. TolerRx shall promptly report all such results to Genentech. TolerRx
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to report such results; TolerRx shall
report such results no later than thirty (30) days from the date such results
become available.
(ii) If Genentech elects to use any results or data
related to TolerRx PreClinical and Clinical Development to develop or
commercialize the Licensed Product, Genentech shall reimburse TolerRx for the
reasonable costs of such TolerRx PreClinical and Clinical Development.
(d) ASSISTANCE IN REGULATORY FILINGS. During the Term, TolerRx
shall assist Genentech in the preparation and filing for any Regulatory Approval
with respect to

defined in Exhibit A). For clarity, Genentech shall not be obligated to supply
Licensed Products to TolerRx with respect to Section 3.4(b) unless approved by
the JSC in the manner set forth in Section 2.2. As a condition of the foregoing,
Genentech shall be obligated to negotiate only if Genentech determines that
supplying such Licensed Products does not adversely affect the Licensed Product
(including but not limited to supply of Licensed Product for clinical testing)
or Genentech's other products. In no event shall Genentech be obligated to
manufacture any Licensed Products for TolerRx, except to the limited extent
expressly set forth in Section 9.5(c)(iii).
3.7. RIGHT OF FIRST NEGOTIATION FOR RIGHTS RELATING TO ANTI-CD8
ANTIBODY. To the extent that TolerRx owns or Controls rights solely relating to
anti-CD8 antibodies or fragments thereof, TolerRx hereby grants to Genentech the
exclusive option during the Term to be the first party to negotiate (for a
ninety (90) day period) an exclusive, worldwide license to such rights.
ARTICLE 4 COMMERCIALIZATION IN THE TERRITORY
4.1. COMMERCIALIZATION EFFORTS; COSTS. During the Term, Genentech

Licensed Product in each country in which Regulatory Approval is received.
Genentech shall have the full responsibility and sole right to make all
decisions regarding all commercialization activities, including without
limitation all manufacturing, sales, marketing and product launch activities
related to Licensed Products. Genentech shall bear all costs related to the
commercialization of the Licensed Products by Genentech in the Territory, except
for US Costs if TolerRx exercises the US Profit/Loss Sharing Option set forth in
Section 6.5.
4.2. DEVELOPMENT OR MARKETING WITH INDEPENDENT PRODUCTS.
(a) Without limiting Genentech's rights, if TolerRx reasonably
believes that marketing a Licensed Product in conjunction with an Independent
Product will maximize the profits for such Licensed Product, at TolerRx's
written request, Genentech agrees to use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent
Efforts to negotiate (for a period of sixty (60) days) in good faith an
arrangement with the Third Party that owns or Controls such Independent Product
whereby Licensed Product will be marketed in conjunction with the Independent
Product, provided that Genentech shall be obligated to do so only if it
determines in its sole discretion that (a) such development or marketing would
not adversely affect any Licensed Product, other Genentech product, or
Genentech; (b) such development or marketing would be desirable and financially
profitable and would significantly increase the Net Sales of such Licensed
Product; and (c) such Third Party is reasonably acceptable to Genentech. This
Section 4.2 shall apply
Execution Copy - 15 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
only after Licensed Product for Phase III Clinical Trials manufactured by
Genentech or its third party sublicensees on Genentech's behalf is available
(and Genentech shall not have any obligations under this Section 4.2 (a) to so
negotiate until such time). "INDEPENDENT PRODUCT" means a Third Party's
pharmaceutical, stand-alone product that (A) has received Regulatory Approval in
the United States; (B) has been fully developed and commercialized as a
stand-alone product by such Third Party, and Genentech is not involved in and
has no rights or obligations with respect to current or future involvement in
researching, developing or commercializing or any other aspect of such product;
and (C) Genentech determines would be desirable to market or develop with the
Licensed Product.
(b) If Genentech executes an agreement with such Third Party
for marketing or developing the Licensed Product in conjunction with an
Independent Product, and if (and only if) Genentech is not obligated to provide
any consideration to such Third Party, then during the Term, Genentech shall
share (in accordance with the percentages below) with TolerRx the portion of
upfront, milestone, or royalty payments, if any, actually received by Genentech
from such Third Party that would constitute Independent Product Profit for
Genentech. Such Independent Product Profit shall be shared between the Parties:
with TolerRx receiving [***] of such amounts and Genentech receiving [***] of
such amounts. "INDEPENDENT PRODUCT PROFIT" means the upfront, milestone, royalty
payments received by Genentech from such Third Party and less Reimbursements.
"REIMBURSEMENTS" means reimbursements of all fully burdened costs incurred by
Genentech related to developing, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, and/or
sales of such Licensed Product in conjunction with such Independent Product.
Independent Product Profit shall only consist of such payments received by
Genentech from such Third Party that are solely attributable to Genentech's
marketing and development activities (and not attributable to any other action
or inaction of Genentech or other reasons) for the Licensed Product in
conjunction with such Independent Product. All payments received by Genentech
from such Third Party relating to any of Genentech's intellectual property or
any other Genentech activity shall be excluded from Independent Product Profit.

payments would be Section 6.2(a)(i) through 6.2(a)(v). For LP2, the applicable
milestone payments would be Section 6.2(b)(i), 6.2(b)(ii) and 6.2(a)(vi) through
6.2(a)(ix). For LP3, the applicable milestone payments would be Section
6.2(b)(i) through 6.2(b)(v). In this example, no further payments shall be made
under Section 6.2(a) and 6.2(b)(i) and 6.2(b)(ii).
6.3. ROYALTIES. The royalties set forth in this Section 6.3 shall
apply to Net Sales in each country within the Territory, unless TolerRx properly
exercises and participates in the US Profit/Loss Sharing Option, in which case
(P) the royalties set forth in this Section 6.3 shall apply only to Net Sales in
countries in the Territory other than the United States and (Q) Section 6.5
applies to the United States. Subject to the foregoing, royalties payable by
Genentech under this Section 6.3 shall be determined and payable on a
country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis as follows
(depending on the type of Licensed Product sold in such country): (A) with
respect to such Licensed Product that, but for the licenses granted herein,
would infringe a Valid Claim in such country, the royalties as set forth in
Section 6.3(a); or (B) with respect to such Licensed Product that would not
infringe a Valid Claim in such country, but (X) relies on or incorporates
TolerRx Know-how, including but not limited to, Antibodies provided by TolerRx
to Genentech pursuant to this Agreement or (Y) was developed pursuant to the
Development Plan, the royalties set forth in Section 6.3(b). All such royalties
shall be further reduced by one or more of the following Sections, to the extent
applicable: Sections 6.3(c) and 6.4. For clarity, no royalties for a Licensed
Product in a country shall be owed by Genentech under Sections 6.3 or 6.4 until
the date of Commercial Introduction of such Licensed Product in such country.
All references in this Agreement to "royalties under Sections 6.3 and 6.4"
"royalties set forth in Sections 6.3 and 6.4" or the like shall mean royalties
set forth in Sections 6.3, reduced by Section 6.4 if applicable.
(a) ROYALTIES OWED BY GENENTECH FOR LICENSED PRODUCTS COVERED
BY VALID CLAIM. As consideration to TolerRx for the licenses and other rights
granted to Genentech under this Agreement, during the Term, Genentech shall make
royalty payments to TolerRx (for each Licensed Product sold in the country(ies)
where the sale of such Licensed Product, but for the licenses granted herein,
would infringe a Valid Claim) as follows and such payments shall be reduced by
Sections 6.3(c), and/or 6.4 to the extent applicable.
(i) Genentech shall pay a royalty of [***] for the
portion of Patented Product Aggregate Annual Worldwide Net Sales that is less
than or equal to $[***].

than $[***] and less than or equal to $[***].
(iii) Genentech shall pay a royalty of [***] for the
portion of Patented Product Aggregate Annual Worldwide Net Sales that is greater
than $[***] and less than or equal to $[***].
(iv) Genentech shall pay a royalty of [***] for the
portion of Patented Product Aggregate Annual Worldwide Net Sales that is greater
than $[***].
"Patented Product Aggregate Annual Worldwide Net Sales" means aggregating the
Net Sales amounts (occurring in the applicable calendar year) of all such
Licensed Products the sales of which, but for the licenses granted herein, would
infringe a Valid Claim in the country where such sales occur. Patented Product
Aggregate Annual Worldwide Net Sales consists of aggregating such Net Sales of
only such Licensed Products of the same type as described in Section 6.3(d)
below.
For example, if Patented Product Aggregate Annual Worldwide Net Sales of Type A
Licensed Products (as defined in Section 6.3(d) below) in the Territory totaled
$[***], then the applicable royalties that Genentech would pay is ([***] X
$[***]) + ([***] X $[***]) + ([***] X $[***]) + ([***] X [***]) = $[***].
(b) ROYALTIES OWED BY GENENTECH FOR LICENSED PRODUCTS COVERED
BY TOLERRX KNOW-HOW. During the Royalty Term, with respect to Licensed Product
sold in the country(ies) where the sale of such Licensed Product, but for the
licenses granted herein, would not infringe a Valid Claim, but such Licensed
Product in the country where sold (A) relies on or incorporates TolerRx
Know-how, including but not limited to, Antibodies provided by TolerRx to
Genentech pursuant to this Agreement, or (B) was developed pursuant to the
Development Plan, Genentech shall make royalty payments to TolerRx for such
Licensed Products as follows and such payments shall be reduced by Sections
6.3(c), and/or 6.4 to the extent applicable.
(i) Genentech shall pay a royalty of [***] for the

(iv) Genentech shall pay a royalty of [***] for the
portion of Non-Patented Product Aggregate Annual Worldwide Net Sales that is
greater than $[***].
"Non-Patented Product Aggregate Annual Worldwide Net Sales" means aggregating
the Net Sales amounts (occurring in the applicable calendar year) of all such
Licensed Products the sales of which, but for the licenses granted herein, would
not infringe a Valid Claim in the country where such sales occur but which
Licensed Products in the country where such sales occur (A) rely on or
incorporate TolerRx Know-how, including but not limited to, Antibodies provided
by TolerRx to Genentech pursuant to this Agreement, or (B) were developed
pursuant to the Development Plan. Non-Patented Product Aggregate Annual
Worldwide Net Sales consists of aggregating such Net Sales of only such Licensed
Products of the same type as described in Section 6.3(d) below.
(c) ROYALTIES OWED BY GENENTECH IF ANOTHER ANTI-CD4 PRODUCT
EXISTS. Genentech's royalty payment obligations as set forth in Sections 6.3(a)
or 6.3(b) above shall not apply in those countries for a Licensed Product during
the period that any of the following is true in such countries: (A) Another
Anti-CD4 Product has received Regulatory Approval for an Indication that is the
same as an Indication for which the Licensed Product has received Regulatory
Approval or (B) the total volume of Other Anti-CD4 Products (commercialized,
used or sold for an Indication that is the same as any Indication for which the
Licensed Product has received Regulatory Approval) equals [***] or more of the
total volume of products containing an Antibody or Antibodies or any formulation
thereof commercialized, used, or sold for such Indication. Instead, Genentech
shall only pay a royalty of (i) during the Term, with respect to those Licensed
Products described in Section 6.3(a), [***] for annual Net Sales of such
Licensed Products in such countries where sold; or (B) during the Royalty Term,
with respect to those Licensed Products described in Section 6.3(b), [***] on
all Net Sales amounts of such Licensed Product in such countries where sold
(except that such royalty payments shall not be reduced by this Section 6.3(c)
below the Minimum Royalty Rate). For the purpose of this Agreement, "ANOTHER
ANTI-CD4 PRODUCT" means any third party product containing an Antibody or
Antibodies or any formulation thereof, including, without limitation, any
lyophilized liquid, sustained release or aerosolized formulation. "OTHER
ANTI-CD4 PRODUCTS" means all of the third party products in such countries that
are Another Anti-CD4 Product.
(d) CALCULATIONS AND EXAMPLE. The royalties in Section 6.3 and
6.4 herein shall be calculated on a country-by-country and Licensed
Product-by-Licensed Product basis, by aggregating Net Sales for all applicable
countries with Licensed Products of the same type, as in the following example:
In France and Germany, only Licensed Products described in Section 6.3(a), but
to which Sections 6.3(c) and 6.4 do not apply ("Type A Licensed Products") are
sold. In Spain and Portugal, only Licensed Products described in Section 6.3(a)
to which Section 6.3(c) does apply (but to which Section 6.4 does not apply,
because no amounts described in Section 6.4 are paid to a third party) ("Type B
Licensed Products") are sold. In the above example, the Net Sales for France and
Germany for Type A Licensed Products shall be aggregated and the applicable
royalty for the portions of Net Sales of such Licensed Products

shall be as set forth in Section 6.3(a). The Net Sales for Spain and Portugal
for Type B Licensed Products shall be aggregated and the applicable royalty for
the portions of Net Sales of such Licensed Products shall be as set forth in
Section 6.3(c). For clarity, the Net Sales amounts for countries with Licensed
Product of one type shall not be aggregated with Net Sales amounts for countries
with Licensed Product of a different type. In the above example, in calculating
royalties, the Net Sales amounts of Type A Licensed Products shall not be
aggregated with the Net Sales amounts of Type B Licensed Products.
6.4. THIRD PARTY ROYALTIES. On a country-by-country basis and
Licensed Product-by Licensed Product basis, the royalties otherwise due and
payable by Genentech to TolerRx hereunder, with respect to a Licensed Product in
a country, shall be reduced by an amount equal to [***] of the amounts Genentech
or its third party sublicensee(s) pays to any third party with respect to the
development, manufacture, import or export, use, offer for sale or sale with
respect to such Licensed Product in such country; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no
event shall the royalty payments due and payable to TolerRx with respect to such
Licensed Product in such country be reduced by this Section 6.4 by more than
[***] of Net Sales with respect to such Licensed Product in such country and the
royalty payments shall not be reduced by this Section 6.4 below the Minimum
Royalty Rate. For example, if the Net Sales amount for a Licensed Product
described in Section 6.3(a) (assuming that no other reductions in Section 6.3(c)
apply) for a country is $[***] and if Genentech owes royalties to a third party
of [***] of Net Sales, then Genentech may reduce such royalty owed to TolerRx by
[***] of such Net Sales, so that the resulting royalty rate is lowered in the
foregoing example from [***] to [***] (in other words, lowered by $[***]). If
the royalty rate to the third party is [***], the royalty reduction is still
$[***].
6.5. OPTION TO SHARE OPERATING PROFITS OR LOSSES IN UNITED STATES.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in
lieu of the royalties set forth in Sections 6.3 and 6.4 for Net Sales in the
United States, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, subject to
Section 6.5(b), TolerRx shall have an option to share in Operating Profits or
Losses (as defined in Exhibit A) from sales of Licensed Products in the United
States, PROVIDED THAT, TolerRx: (A) makes the US Cost Sharing Payments within
the time period set forth below and (B) during the time period set forth below,
continues to make the applicable balancing payments, if any, relating to sharing
Operating Loss, on a timely basis in accordance with Section 6.5(c) below and
Exhibit A attached hereto (including but not limited to Section A.4 of Exhibit
A) ("US Profit/Loss Sharing Option"). "US COST SHARING PAYMENTS" means the
portion of US Costs owed by TolerRx to Genentech under this Agreement as set
forth in Exhibit A for Development Costs (as defined in Exhibit A) to the date
of the Phase II Go Decision Notice, which amount shall be identified in a
written notice to TolerRx. Upon Genentech providing written notice of its
decision to commence the first Phase II Clinical Trial for the first Indication
of the first such Licensed Product manufactured by or on behalf of Genentech by
third parties and providing TolerRx written notice of the U.S. Cost Sharing
Payments ("Phase II Go Decision Notice"), TolerRx shall have (X) thirty (30)
days from the date
* Confidential treatment requested:
material has been omitted and filed
separately with the Commission.
Execution Copy - 24 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
of such Phase II Go Decision Notice to exercise the US Profit/Loss Sharing
Option by delivering proper written notice to Genentech and (Y) forty-five (45)
days from the date of such Phase II Go Decision Notice to make such US Cost
Sharing Payments.
(b) On a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, TolerRx
shall share in Operating Losses (as defined in Exhibit A), if any, commencing
from the date TolerRx exercises such US Profit/Loss Sharing Option and ending on
the date when Genentech terminates sales of such Licensed Product in the United
States, subject to earlier termination as set forth in Section 6.5(c) below.
Subject to the last two sentences of this Section 6.5(b), TolerRx shall share in
Operating Profits (as defined in Exhibit A), if any, commencing from the first
date that an Operating Profit exists (and TolerRx shall not have such right to
share in Operating Profits until such date) and ending on the date when
Genentech terminates sales of such Licensed Product in the United States,
subject to earlier termination as set forth in Section 6.5(c) below. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Operating Losses shall include costs incurred from the
date of filing of the first IND by Genentech (including but not limited to the
FTE Cost(s) and filing fees for filing such IND). Without limiting any of
Genentech's rights or remedies, TolerRx shall have the right to receive its
share of Operating Profits as set forth in Exhibit A and this Section 6.5 only
after Genentech has recouped all of TolerRx's share of the Operating Losses. At
Genentech's election in its sole discretion, Genentech may recoup all of such
Operating Losses either through (P) direct payment by TolerRx of all applicable
balancing payment amounts in accordance with Exhibit A and this Section 6.5 or
(Q) deducting all of such Operating Losses from TolerRx's share of Operating
Profits.
(c) Genentech shall only be obligated to pay the royalties set
forth in Section 6.3 and 6.4, if any, and shall not be obligated at any time to
share Operating Profits or Losses under Exhibit A, if TolerRx: (A) fails to make
US Cost Sharing Payments within forty-five (45) days from the date of such Phase
II Go Decision Notice or (B) fails to notify Genentech of its exercise of the US
Profit/Loss Sharing Option within thirty (30) days from the date of the Phase II
Go Decision Notice for the applicable Licensed Product. If TolerRx fails to make
the applicable balancing payments relating to sharing Operating Profit or Loss,
if any, on a timely basis in accordance with Exhibit A, and does not do so
within thirty (30) days of written notice of such failure from Genentech,
effective as of the beginning of the calendar quarter in which such failure to
pay by TolerRx occurs then Genentech shall not be obligated to share Operating
Profits or Losses under Exhibit A and Genentech shall only be obligated to pay
the royalties set forth in Section 6.3 and 6.4, if any. Nothing herein relieves
TolerRx of its obligation to make such delinquent payment.
(d) If TolerRx has exercised and continues to participate in
the US Profit/Loss Sharing Option in accordance with Section 6.5 and Exhibit A,
upon completion of Phase III Clinical Trial for a Licensed Product, Genentech
shall prepare and provide to the JSC a copy of Marketing Plan for such Licensed
Product. Thereafter, for each calendar year, at least three months prior to the
beginning thereof, Genentech shall provide the JSC an updated copy of such
Marketing Plan. The JSC may review such Marketing Plan but Genentech has sole
Execution Copy - 25 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
authority regarding the content of such Marketing Plan and may make
modifications thereto, from time to time. Such Marketing Plan will include a
budget.
6.6. PAYMENT OF ROYALTIES AND OTHER AMOUNTS.
(a) MODE OF PAYMENTS. Net Sales described in Sections 6.3, 6.4,
9.5(c)(iii) (to the extent applicable) will be calculated on a calendar quarter
basis. For purposes of determining when a sale of any Licensed Product occurs
under this Agreement, the sale shall be deemed to occur on the date the Licensed
Product is shipped. The obligation to pay royalties under this Agreement shall
be imposed only once with respect to the same unit of Licensed Product,
regardless of the number of patents within TolerRx Patent Rights pertaining
thereto and regardless of whether such unit of Licensed Product is based on one
or more than one of the following: TolerRx Know-how, patents within TolerRx
Patent Rights, and/or was developed pursuant to the Development Plan. After the
date of Commercial Introduction of each Licensed Product, all royalty payments
for such Licensed Product shall be made within sixty (60) days after the end of
each calendar quarter in which such sales were deemed to occur. All payments
hereunder shall be made free and clear of any taxes, duties, levies, fees or
charges, except for withholding taxes (to the extent applicable). Genentech
shall make any applicable withholding payments due on behalf of TolerRx and
shall promptly provide TolerRx with written documentation of any such payment
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the United States Internal Revenue
Service related to an application by TolerRx for a foreign tax credit for such
payment. All payments hereunder due to TolerRx shall be made in U.S. Dollars by
bank wire transfer to: [***], except as provided below. TolerRx may modify such
bank wire transfer information upon providing written notice to Genentech.
(b) FOREIGN CURRENCY CONVERSION. For the purpose of calculating
royalty payments to TolerRx under Sections 6.3 and 6.4 above and calculating
royalty payments to Genentech under Section 9.5(c)(iii) (to the extent
applicable), if Licensed Products are sold in a currency other than U.S.
dollars, such non-U.S. currencies shall be converted to U.S. dollars at the
daily Reuters exchange rate for the last business day of such calendar quarter
in which the relevant financial transactions are recorded.
(c) RESTRICTIONS ON PAYMENT. If by law, regulations or fiscal
policy of a particular country in the Territory, remittance of royalties in U.S.
Dollars is restricted or forbidden, written notice thereof will promptly be
given to TolerRx, and payment of the royalty shall be made by the deposit
thereof in local currency to the credit of TolerRx in a recognized banking
institution in such country selected by Genentech and reasonably acceptable to
TolerRx. When, in any country in the Territory, the law or regulations prohibit
both the transmittal and deposit of royalties on sales in such country, royalty
payments shall be suspended for as long as such prohibition is in effect and as
soon as such prohibition ceases to be in effect, all royalties that Genentech
would have been under an obligation to transmit or deposit but for the
prohibition shall forthwith be deposited or transmitted to the extent allowable.

GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
(d) REPORTS. Each royalty payment shall be accompanied by a
report, Licensed Product-by- Licensed Product and country-by-country, of the
amount of Gross Sales, the calculation of Net Sales and the units of Licensed
Product sold during such quarter, the amount of royalties due on such Net Sales,
and the conversion rates used in converting to United States Dollars.
6.7. RECORDS. Genentech shall keep complete and accurate records
pertaining to the sale of Licensed Products in the Territory and covering all
transactions from which Net Sales and payments to be made to TolerRx and amounts
to be charged to TolerRx are derived for a period of three calendar years after
the year in which such sales occur and such costs are incurred. TolerRx shall
keep complete and accurate records pertaining to the following, if applicable:
TolerRx MSL Costs, costs related to Sections 3.4(b) and 3.4(c) herein, TolerRx
Development Plan Work Costs, and, if Section 9.5(c)(iii) applies, the sale of
Licensed Products in the Territory and covering all transactions from which Net
Sales and payments to be made to Genentech under Section 9.5(c)(iii) are derived
for a period of three calendar years after the year in which such sales occur
and such costs are incurred.
6.8. AUDIT. At the request and expense (except as provided below) of
TolerRx, not more than once per year, Genentech shall permit an independent,
certified public accountant appointed by TolerRx and reasonably acceptable to
Genentech, at reasonable times during normal business hours and upon thirty (30)
days' notice, to examine those financial records of Genentech directly used in
Genentech's calculations of (A) royalties under Sections 6.3 and 6.4 herein for
a period of three years after such royalties have accrued, to determine or
verify the appropriate royalties owed to TolerRx, and (B) Direct Costs and Net
Sales (only if TolerRx has exercised and continues to participate in the US
Profit/Loss Sharing Option in accordance with Section 6.5 and Exhibit A), to
determine or verify the Direct Costs and Net Sales. The term "royalties" as
referred to in this Section 6.8 only, shall only refer to the royalties set
forth in Sections 6.3 and 6.4 of this Agreement. "Direct Costs" means (A) direct
costs of labor and materials related to Development Costs, Marketing Costs, and
Sales Costs (as defined in Exhibit A) and (B) Third Party Royalty Expense (as
defined in Exhibit A). For clarity, Direct Costs excludes indirect costs and
Allocable Overhead. For the avoidance of doubt, TolerRx shall not have such
accountant examine financial records related to other items in Exhibit A (ie. US
Costs other than Direct Costs), and shall only have the right to confirm that
Genentech's costing and accounting methodology related to such other items is
consistent with GAAP. Said accountant shall not disclose to TolerRx any
information other than information necessary to verify such royalties or Direct
Costs and Net Sales (if applicable). Subject to the foregoing, results of any
such examination shall be made available to both Parties. If, as a result of
such inspection of the books and records of Genentech to verify (X) royalties or
(Y) Direct Costs and Net Sales (if applicable), it is shown that Genentech's
royalty payments under this Agreement or balancing payments under Sections 6.5
and Exhibit A were less than the amount which should have been paid to TolerRx,
then Genentech shall make all payments required to be made to eliminate any
discrepancy revealed by said inspection within sixty (60) days after TolerRx's
demand therefor. Furthermore, if the aggregate of royalties or balancing
payments under Sections 6.5 and Exhibit A
Execution Copy - 27 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
(if applicable) were less than the amount which should have been paid to TolerRx
by an amount in excess of five percent (5%) of the respective payments actually
made during the period in question, Genentech shall also reimburse TolerRx for
the cost of such inspection. As a condition to such examination, such
independent public accountant shall execute a written agreement, reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to Genentech, to maintain in confidence all
information obtained during the course of any such examination except for
disclosure to TolerRx as necessary for the above purpose. A Dispute (as defined
in Section 12.13) on the conclusions of such audit by such public accountant
shall be resolved in accordance with Section 12.13.

of any suit, proceeding or other legal action by counsel of its own choice.
TolerRx shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such
action by counsel of its own choice. TolerRx agrees to cooperate reasonably in
any such action Genentech
Execution Copy - 30 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
initiates or wishes to initiate hereunder, including, without limitation,
supplying essential documentary evidence and making essential witnesses then in
TolerRx's employment available. As part of such cooperation, Genentech may join
or include TolerRx as a party, if the need arises. Genentech shall notify
TolerRx of its decision to exercise its right to enforce Joint Patents not later
than ninety (90) days following its discovery or receipt of notice of the
alleged Patent Infringement. TolerRx has no right to bring any such action or
proceeding relating to Genentech Patents. With respect to Joint Patents, if (i)
Genentech notifies TolerRx that Genentech elects not to bring a suit, action or
proceeding to enforce the Joint Patents in accordance with this Section
7.7(b)(1); or (ii) Genentech has not provided TolerRx with evidence of bona fide

such action by counsel of its own choice. In the case of infringement or alleged
infringement of a Joint Patent, Genentech in its sole discretion, may elect to
assign such Joint Patent to TolerRx so that TolerRx may maintain such suit,
proceeding or legal action in its own name. In such event, the licenses to
Genentech under such a Joint Patent shall remain unaffected. Neither Party shall
settle a dispute regarding the Joint Patents without the consent of the other
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(2) TOLERRX PATENT RIGHTS. TolerRx shall have the first
right (but not the obligation) to take the appropriate steps to remove the
Patent Infringement or alleged Patent Infringement of TolerRx Patent Rights,
including, without limitation, by initiation, prosecution and control, at its
own expense of any suit, proceeding or other legal action by counsel of its own
choice. Genentech shall have the right, at its own expense (subject to Section
6.5 and Exhibit A regarding TolerRx's US Profit/Loss Sharing Option), to be
represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. TolerRx shall
notify Genentech of its decision to exercise its right to enforce TolerRx Patent
Rights not later than ninety (90) days following its discovery or receipt of
notice of the alleged Patent Infringement. If (i) TolerRx notifies Genentech
that TolerRx elects not to bring a suit, action or proceeding to enforce the
TolerRx Patent Rights with respect to the Patent Infringement in accordance with
this Section 7.7(b)(2); or (ii) TolerRx has not provided Genentech with evidence
of bona fide negotiations with the alleged infringer, then Genentech shall have
the right (but not the obligation) to bring any such suit, action or proceeding
relating to TolerRx Patent Rights with respect to the Patent Infringement by

available. As part of such cooperation, Genentech may join or include TolerRx as
a party, if the need arises. At Genentech's request, TolerRx shall use all
reasonable efforts to join all necessary parties to the extent that TolerRx has
rights to do so. Neither Party shall settle a dispute regarding the TolerRx
Patent Rights without the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
(3) Any damages or other monetary awards recovered
pursuant to any suit, proceeding or other legal action taken under this Section
7.7(b) shall be allocated first to the costs and expenses of the Party bringing
suit, and second to the costs and expenses (if any) of the other Party. The
balance of any recovery shall be allocated between the Parties as follows: (i)
to Genentech in an amount equal to its lost profits or a reasonable royalty on
the sales of the infringer (whichever measure of damages shall have been
applied), and (ii) to TolerRx in an amount equal to the royalties due TolerRx
based on such sales (if sales of the infringer or a reasonable royalty measure
of damages is applied) or a reasonable approximation of the royalties that
Genentech would have owed to TolerRx on sales of Licensed Products that
Genentech lost to the infringer (if a lost profits measure of damages is
applied). With respect to royalties due to TolerRx, the previous sentence shall
not apply to royalties related to the United States if TolerRx is participating
in the US Profit/Loss Sharing Option in accordance with Section 6.5 and Exhibit
A. Instead, in such circumstance, such balance related to damages for lost
profits or reasonable royalty in the United States shall be added to the
calculation of Other Operating Income/Expense (as defined in Exhibit A). The
balance, if any, remaining after Genentech and TolerRx have been compensated as
provided herein shall be allocated to the Party bringing suit.
7.8. THIRD PARTY PATENTS. If any notice of infringement is received
by, or a suit is initiated against, either Party with respect to any Licensed
Product, the Parties shall consult in good faith regarding the best response. If
Genentech is required to pay any third party to obtain a license under patents
owned by such third party to avoid infringement of such third party's
patent-protected technology with respect to a Licensed Product or that is
necessary or used in its manufacture, use, sale, or import, Genentech shall be
entitled to (A) offset such payments against the royalties otherwise due and
payable by Genentech under this Agreement to TolerRx as provided in Section 6
and (B) include such payments in the calculation of "US Costs" (as defined in
Exhibit A), if TolerRx is participating in the US Profit/Loss Sharing Option in
accordance with Section 6.5 and Exhibit A.
7.9. TRADEMARKS. Genentech shall sell all Licensed Products in the
Territory under trademarks selected and owned by Genentech worldwide. Genentech,
at its sole discretion, shall control the preparation, filing, prosecution and
maintenance of applications and/or registrations related to such trademarks in
the Territory, and shall be responsible for the costs of the foregoing (subject
to Section 6.5 and Exhibit A regarding TolerRx's US Profit/Loss Sharing Option).
Each Party shall notify the JSC promptly upon learning of any actual, alleged or
threatened infringement of a trademark applicable to a Licensed Product in the
Territory, any practice of unfair trade, trade dress imitation, passing off of
counterfeit goods, any claim conflicting with Genentech's exclusive ownership of
such trademarks or like offenses in the Territory. Genentech will have the sole
right to determine whether any action shall be taken on account of any such
infringement, practice, claim or offense with respect to any such trademarks and
TolerRx shall not take any action on account of any such infringement, practice,
claim or offense with respect to any such trademarks without the prior written
consent of Genentech. All of the costs, expenses and legal fees in bringing,
maintaining and prosecuting any action to
Execution Copy - 32 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
maintain, protect or defend a trademark in the Territory, and any recovery,
shall be Genentech's sole responsibility, except for costs in the United States
as set forth in Exhibit A. TolerRx agrees to cooperate with and assist Genentech
in protecting and defending any such trademarks at Genentech's expense (subject
to Section 6.5 and Exhibit A regarding TolerRx's US Profit/Loss Sharing Option).
Genentech, at its sole discretion, shall be responsible for obtaining and
maintaining any domain names corresponding to such trademarks worldwide and
shall own such domain names.

nonpublic information that may be disclosed by one Party (the "Disclosing
Party") to the other Party (the "Receiving Party") in connection with this
Agreement, provided that such information is clearly marked as confidential.
Information disclosed other than in written or other tangible form will be
deemed Confidential Information only if the Disclosing Party provides the
Receiving Party with a written statement within thirty (30) days of the initial

the rights and performing the obligations of a Party under this Agreement,
provided that the third party agrees in writing to confidentiality obligations
no less protective of the Disclosing Party`s rights as those under this
Agreement. For clarity, Genentech may provide to third party(ies) all materials
and information received from TolerRx hereunder (including but not limited to
TolerRx Know-how), provided that such third party agrees in writing to
confidentiality obligations no less protective of the TolerRx's rights as those
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TolerRx shall not disclose
any Genentech Confidential Information (including but not limited to any
information and reports under Section 6, and Licensed Product Manufacturing
Know-how (except that TolerRx may disclose Licensed Product Manufacturing
Know-how to the designated contract manufacturer set forth in Section
9.5(c)(iii) in accordance therewith for the purposes set forth therein) to any
third party, unless TolerRx has obtained prior written consent from Genentech
for such disclosure. With respect to information that TolerRx is required under
the Third Party Agreements to disclose in reports to Isis, CUTS or University,
the Parties shall discuss the appropriate content of such disclosure and TolerRx
shall disclose only the content that is mutually agreed upon by the Parties and
such information shall be used by Isis, CUTS, or University only for a purpose
mutually agreed upon by the Parties, taking into account the limited disclosure
required by the Third Party Agreements.
8.3. SURVIVAL. This Section 8 shall survive termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 9 TERM; EXPIRATION; TERMINATION
9.1. TERM; EXPIRATION. The term of this Agreement shall commence as
of the Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated as provided hereunder, shall
expire on the later of: (A) the date when Genentech has made all the royalty
payments that Genentech is obligated to make under Sections 6.3 and 6.4; or (B)
if (and only if) TolerRx has exercised and continues to participate in the US
Profit/Loss Sharing Option for a Licensed Product in accordance with Section 6.5
and Exhibit A, the date when Genentech terminates sales of Licensed Products in
the United States ("Term"). With respect to each Licensed Product in each
country, at the time that Genentech has no further royalty obligations under
Sections 6.3 and 6.4, Genentech shall have a fully paid up, perpetual,
non-cancelable, exclusive license under Section 5.1 with respect to such
Licensed Product in such country. The foregoing sentence shall survive any
expiration of this Agreement. Upon expiration of this Agreement, all obligations
and restrictions on Genentech and TolerRx shall terminate except those that
survive under Section 9.5(a), Section 9.5(b), and other sections which are
expressly indicated to survive termination.
9.2. UNILATERAL TERMINATION. Genentech shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, ninety (90) days
after written notice to TolerRx.
9.3. BREACH.
(a) In the event that a party materially breaches this
Agreement (the "Defaulting Party"), the other party (the "Non-Defaulting Party")
may provide written notice to
Execution Copy - 34 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
the Defaulting Party describing the breach. If the Defaulting Party in good
faith disputes such breach and provides the Non-Defaulting Party in writing the
grounds for disputing the breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of the
notice of material breach from the Non-Defaulting Party, then the Non-Defaulting
may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.3 and the Parties shall
submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 12.13(b), and as
provided in Section 9.3(b), hereinafter such dispute is a "Dispute" as defined
in Section 12.13. In the event that the Defaulting Party does not provide a
written notice of Dispute, and fails to cure such breach within ninety (90) days
(thirty (30) days for a payment breach) of the written notice describing the
breach, then the Non Defaulting Party shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by written notice to the Defaulting Party unless such breach is not
capable of being cured within such ninety (90) day period. If the Defaulting
Party does not provide a written notice of Dispute and if such breach is not
capable of being cured within such ninety (90) day period (thirty (30) day
period for a payment breach where no Dispute exists), then so long as the
Defaulting Party is making diligent efforts to cure such breach within such
amount of time as may be reasonably necessary to cure such breach, the
Non-Defaulting Party may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.3(a)
unless such breach is not cured within one-hundred and twenty (120) days of such
notice.
(b) In the event of a Dispute between the Parties as to whether
one Party has materially breached its material obligations, the Parties shall
resolve such Dispute in accordance with Section 12.13. With respect to a payment
Dispute, the Defaulting Party shall pay to the Non-Defaulting Party all amounts
that are due except the amount that is in Dispute. If the decision of the
arbitration tribunal (described in Section 12.13) ("Arbitration Panel" or
"arbitration tribunal") is that the Defaulting Party is in material breach of
its material obligations (an "ADVERSE JUDGMENT"), then the arbitration tribunal
shall specify the manner in which such breach could be cured. If the decision of
the arbitration tribunal is an Adverse Judgment, then the Defaulting Party shall
have thirty (30) days to cure such breach in accordance with the arbitration
tribunal's decision or as otherwise agreed by the Parties. If the Defaulting
Party fails to cure such breach within such thirty (30) day period or as
otherwise agreed, only then shall the Non-Defaulting Party have the right to
terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.3. The time table for such
arbitration proceeding for such Dispute shall be no more than one hundred twenty
(120) days from its filing date to the award. The Parties shall submit to the
Arbitration Panel at the initiation of the arbitration whether the disputed
amount shall be placed in escrow and the decision of the Arbitration Panel in
this respect shall be binding on the Parties. For clarity, if a Dispute exists
regarding payment by one Party to another, then the Non-Defaulting Party shall
not have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.3 if the
Defaulting Party complies with the arbitration tribunal's decision. In the event
that there is an Adverse Judgment against the Defaulting Party, then prejudgment
interest shall be awarded to the Non-Defaulting Party. The Party against which
an Adverse Judgment is entered shall pay all costs of the arbitration including
the attorneys fees of the other Party.
9.4. INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY. Each Party may, in addition to any
other remedies available to it by law or in equity, terminate this Agreement
effective on written notice
Execution Copy - 35 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
to the other Party in the event the other Party shall have become insolvent or
bankrupt, or shall have made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
there shall have been appointed a trustee or receiver of the other Party or for
all or a substantial part of its property, or any case or proceeding shall have
been commenced or other action taken by or against the other Party in bankruptcy
or seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, arrangement,
composition or readjustment of its debts or any other relief under any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar act or law of any
jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect, or there shall have been issued a
warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against any
substantial part of the property of the other Party, and any such event shall
have continued for ninety (90) days undismissed, unbonded and undischarged. All
rights and licenses granted under this Agreement are, and shall be deemed to be,
for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to
"intellectual property" as defined under Section 101(56) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code.
9.5. EFFECT OF EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION
(a) ACCRUED RIGHTS; SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. Termination or
expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any
rights which shall have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to such
termination or expiration, and shall not relieve either Party from its
obligations which are expressly indicated to survive expiration or termination
of this Agreement, including, without limitation, those under Sections
3.4(b)(ii), 3.4(c)(i) (last three sentences only), 3.5(a), 7.1, 7.2, 8, 9.5(a),
9.5(b), 10, 11, and 12. Termination is not the sole remedy under this Agreement
and, whether or not termination is effected, all other remedies at law and in
equity will remain.
(b) SUBLICENSES. No expiration or termination of this Agreement
(except termination by Genentech without cause under Section 9.2 above) shall be
construed as a termination of any sublicenses granted by Genentech under Section
5, and such sublicenses will remain in effect in accordance with their terms.
(c) OTHER SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS.
(i) Upon any termination of this Agreement by
Genentech under Section 9.3 or 9.4, Genentech shall thereafter automatically
have in perpetuity an irrevocable, exclusive (even as to TolerRx) sublicensable,
fully transferable license within the Field in the Territory under TolerRx
Patent Rights, TolerRx Know-how and TolerRx's joint ownership rights in Joint
Patents (as defined in Section 7 herein), to make (and have made), use, sell,
offer for sale and import, Licensed Products, subject to payment to TolerRx of
only the applicable royalties under Sections 6.3 and 6.4 and applicable
milestones under Section 6.2. For clarity, if Genentech terminates this
Agreement under Section 9.3 or 9.4, Genentech shall not owe any other payments
to TolerRx, including but not limited to Operating Profits or Losses, and shall
only owe the applicable royalties under Sections 6.3 and 6.4 and applicable
milestones under Section 6.2. Upon termination by Genentech under Section 9.3 or
9.4, (A) all obligations
Execution Copy - 36 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
and restrictions on Genentech shall terminate, except as expressly set forth in
Sections 6.6, and 9.5(c)(i), and except for TolerRx's right as set forth in
Section 6.8, but such right shall be limited only to verifying royalties under
Sections 6.3 and 6.4 herein and (B) the following sections survive: Sections
7.5(d), 7.6(b), 7.7(b)(2), 5.3 (to the extent applicable), 9.5(a), 9.5(b), and
other sections which are expressly indicated to survive termination.
(ii) Upon any termination of this Agreement by
TolerRx under Section 9.3 or 9.4 or by Genentech without cause under Section
9.2, (A) all rights granted to Genentech by TolerRx shall terminate and revert
to TolerRx, and (B) all obligations and restrictions on Genentech and TolerRx
shall terminate, including but not limited to Section 6, except those rights,
obligations and restrictions that survive under Section 9.5(a) Section 9.5(b),
and other sections which are expressly indicated to survive termination and (C)
thereafter except as provided in Section 9.5 (c) (iii), Genentech shall cease
and continue to cease to research, develop, manufacture, market and sell
Licensed Product. Upon any termination by either Party under Section 9.3 or 9.4
or by Genentech without cause under Section 9.2, or upon expiration of the
Agreement, all rights granted to TolerRx by Genentech (if any) shall terminate,
except that in the case of termination by TolerRx under Section 9.3 or 9.4 or by
Genentech without cause under Section 9.2, the rights (and only such rights)
expressly set forth in Section 9.5(c)(iii) below shall continue (and only to the
extent expressly set forth therein).
(iii) This Section 9.5(c)(iii) shall only apply in the
case of termination without cause by Genentech under Section 9.2 or termination
by TolerRx under Section 9.3 or 9.4. For the purposes of this Section
9.5(c)(iii), except as expressly set forth in Section 9.5(c)(iii)(1) below,
Licensed Product(s) shall only refer to existing Licensed Product(s) which
Genentech was manufacturing in clinical or commercial quantities (if any) prior
to such termination.
(1) Only upon termination without cause by
Genentech under Section 9.2 or termination by TolerRx under Section 9.3 or 9.4,
subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Separate License
Agreement for Genentech Patents (as defined below), TolerRx shall have a
non-exclusive royalty-bearing, nontransferable, revocable (as provided below in
Section 9.5(c)(iii)(6)), sublicensable, limited license under Genentech Patents
solely to make, use, import, offer to sell and sell the Licensed Products that
Genentech was manufacturing or developing prior to such termination. The Parties
agree to negotiate in good faith the terms of a separate written agreement that
will grant TolerRx such license rights (with royalty rates not to exceed [***]
of net sales) ("Separate License Agreement for Genentech Patents"). With respect
other patent rights owned by Genentech necessary for commercializing Licensed
Products that Genentech was manufacturing in clinical or commercial quantities
(if any) or developing prior to termination, if any, the Parties agree to
negotiate in good faith regarding such rights.
(2) TolerRx shall use best efforts to find a
third party source of supply of Licensed Products. To the extent (A) Genentech
has already been

separately with the Commission.
Execution Copy - 37 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
manufacturing clinical or commercial quantities of Licensed Product prior to
such termination, and (B) to the extent that Genentech determines that doing
the following would not adversely affect its manufacturing of its or its
sublicensees' products, Genentech agrees to supply TolerRx (at Genentech's
Fully Burdened Manufacturing Costs, plus a xxxx-up of twenty-five percent
(25%)) at Genentech's election, with (A) a quantity of Licensed Products that
is equivalent to a reasonable twelve-months' supply of Licensed Product or
(B) such lesser amount of Licensed Products as is necessary for TolerRx to
achieve the current milestone (and only that milestone) on which the Parties
were working as of the effective date of termination.
(3) At TolerRx's written request, if and only if
Genentech has already been manufacturing clinical or commercial quantities of
Licensed Product prior to such termination, then subject to compliance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, Genentech agrees to provide either to
TolerRx or to a designated Third Party contract manufacturer (and only to
TolerRx or such manufacturer, but not both), who does not sell its own products
and has expertise in recombinant protein manufacture and cell culture biology
(including but not limited to having experience and know-how necessary to
manufacture proteins at commercial scales), and who is reasonably acceptable to
Genentech, Genentech's know-how, if any, specifically related to the
manufacturing process of such existing Licensed Product and that is necessary
for TolerRx or such Third Party to assume manufacture of such existing Licensed
Product ("Licensed Product Manufacturing Know-how"). Licensed Product
Manufacturing Know-how shall only consist of such know-how owned by Genentech
(if any) that is necessary for TolerRx or such designated contract manufacturer
to achieve the current milestone (and only that milestone) on which the Parties
were working as of the effective date of termination. For example, if the
Agreement is terminated during the Phase I Clinical Trial, then such Licensed
Product Manufacturing Know-how to be transferred shall only consist of such
know-how (if any) necessary to complete such Phase I Clinical Trial.
Notwithstanding anything else, Licensed Product Manufacturing Know-how shall be
limited to such know-how for manufacturing the agent targeting, binding to, or
recognizing CD4 and shall exclude know-how related to any Genentech proprietary
product or manufacture thereof. Such Licensed Product Manufacturing Know-how is
deemed to be Confidential Information of Genentech regardless of whether such
information is marked "Confidential." Without limiting TolerRx's obligations,
TolerRx shall (and shall cause its contract manufacturer to) hold all such
Licensed Product Manufacturing Know-how in confidence, not disclose such
information to any person or entity (other than employees of TolerRx and such
designated contract manufacturer bound to similar confidentiality obligations
who have a legitimate "need to know") and to use such information solely for
manufacturing the existing Licensed Product that Genentech was manufacturing in
clinical or commercial quantities (if any) prior to such termination. For
clarity, TolerRx shall (and shall cause such contract manufacturer to) not use
such Licensed Product Manufacturing Know-how for any other purpose, including
but not limited to any other product or process. TolerRx shall not allow any
person or entity, other than itself or such designated contract manufacturer
described above, to manufacture Licensed Product using Licensed Product
Manufacturing Know-how. TolerRx's confidentiality obligations and
indemnification under this Section 9.5(c)(iii)(3) and Section 9.5(c)(iii)(4)
below shall survive in perpetuity, notwithstanding
Execution Copy - 38 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
Section 8.1 above or anything else. Any action or inaction by such contract
manufacturer shall be deemed an action or inaction of TolerRx and TolerRx shall
be responsible for any breach of any obligations hereunder by such contract
manufacturer. Such contract manufacturer shall be bound by an enforceable
writing for Genentech's benefit to at least the same limitations and
restrictions as the limitations and restrictions on TolerRx. TolerRx indemnifies
Genentech and its Affiliates and sublicensees from any and all claims, damages,
liability, settlement, attorneys' fees and expenses, as incurred, on account of
any breach of this Section 9.5 or any action or inaction of TolerRx or its
contract manufacturer. For clarity, Licensed Product Manufacturing Know-how, if
any, is provided nonexclusively, and remains Genentech's property and
intellectual property at all times.
(4) Genentech shall transfer to TolerRx, at
TolerRx's cost, all Regulatory Approvals and applications for Regulatory
Approvals for the Licensed Product(s) that Genentech holds at the time of
termination. Genentech shall also provide to TolerRx all pre-clinical and
clinical data produced by Genentech in developing the Licensed Products
hereunder (if any) that Genentech holds at the time of termination. All of the
foregoing Regulatory Approvals, applications therefor, and pre-clinical and
clinical data shall be deemed Confidential Information of Genentech,
notwithstanding Section 8.1 above or anything else, regardless of whether such
information is marked "Confidential" or not, and shall be used only for the sale
of such Licensed Product manufactured by TolerRx or by such contract
manufacturer. TolerRx shall pay all costs associated with the transfers
(including but not limited to out-of-pocket costs and fully-burdened personnel
costs) in this Section 9.5(c)(iii).
(5) The Parties agree that if Genentech provides
such Licensed Product Manufacturing Know-how in accordance with this Section
9.5(c)(iii), then TolerRx has access to, is privy to, and may use such Licensed
Product Manufacturing Know-how as set forth in this Section 9.5(c)(iii), and
that it is impossible to determine the extent to which TolerRx has used such
information. Accordingly, TolerRx agrees to pay the royalty set forth below on
Net Sales of all Licensed Products. If Genentech has transferred Licensed
Product Manufacturing Know-how to TolerRx or such Third Party contract
manufacturer, TolerRx shall pay to Genentech a royalty to be negotiated in good
faith between the Parties and not to exceed [***]. If the Parties agree on a
lower royalty rate or if the foregoing royalty rate to be paid by TolerRx is
[***], then Genentech shall be obligated to provide Licensed Product
Manufacturing Know-how to the extent expressly set forth in this Section
9.5(c)(iii), otherwise Genentech shall not be obligated to provide Licensed
Product Manufacturing Know-how. The terms applicable to Genentech (and payments
by Genentech) under Sections 6.6 and 6.8 (including but not limited to the right
for Genentech to audit TolerRx to verify the appropriate royalties owed to
Genentech herein) shall apply to TolerRx and such royalty payments by TolerRx.
TolerRx shall comply with the last sentence of Section 6.7, to the extent
applicable. All payments hereunder due to Genentech shall be made in U.S.
Dollars by bank wire transfer to the: [***]. The Parties shall agree to a
process transfer plan for such Licensed Product Manufacturing Know-how and all
of Genentech's obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed fulfilled when
the tasks set forth in such plan are complete.

(6) Upon any breach of Section 9.5(c)(iii)
herein by TolerRx, all rights and licenses granted to TolerRx and all
obligations of Genentech under this Section 9.5(c)(iii) shall terminate
immediately upon notice, and TolerRx shall immediately cease (and shall cause
its contract manufacturer to cease) any and all use of Licensed Product
Manufacturing Know-how, Genentech Patents and any other Confidential Information
of Genentech, and shall return all copies, extracts, and derivatives of the
foregoing to Genentech. This Section 9.5(c)(iii)(6) shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.
(7) Genentech agrees to negotiate in good faith
with TolerRx regarding a royalty-bearing license to TolerRx for TolerRx's use of
trademarks owned by Genentech with respect to Licensed Product.
ARTICLE 10 INDEMNIFICATION
10.1. INDEMNIFICATION BY GENENTECH. Genentech hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless TolerRx and its subsidiaries, parent
corporations, Affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees, from and
against any and all third party suits, claims, actions, demands, liabilities,
settlements, expenses and/or loss (including reasonable legal expense and
attorneys' fees) to the extent payable to such third party (collectively,
"LOSSES") and arising out of or resulting from Genentech's or its third party
sublicensee's performance of work under this Agreement, or the manufacturing,
developing, distribution, testing, labeling, marketing, use or sale of Licensed
Products by Genentech or its third party sublicensees in the Territory, except
to the extent such Losses arise out of or result from the negligence or willful
misconduct of TolerRx, TolerRx's breach of any terms of this Agreement or
violation of any applicable law or regulation. For clarity, the foregoing does
not include an indemnity regarding infringement of third party patent or
trademark rights. In addition, Genentech hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless TolerRx and its subsidiaries, parent corporations, Affiliates,
officers, directors, and employees harmless from and against any and all Losses
resulting from a breach by Genentech of any of its representations or warranties
under Section 11.2 of this Agreement.
10.2. INDEMNIFICATION BY TOLERRX. TolerRx hereby agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Genentech and its subsidiaries, parent corporations,
Affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees from and against any and
all Losses arising out of or resulting from TolerRx's performance of work (if
any) or clinical trials under this Agreement or the testing, development or use
of the Licensed Products or any actions of any TolerRx MSLs except to the extent
such Losses arise out of or result from the negligence or willful misconduct of
Genentech, Genentech's breach of any terms of this Agreement or violation of any
applicable law or regulation. For clarity, the foregoing does not include an
indemnity regarding infringement of third party patent or trademark rights. In
addition, TolerRx hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Genentech
and its subsidiaries, parent corporations, Affiliates, officers, directors,
sublicensees and employees from and against any and
Execution Copy - 40 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
all Losses resulting from a breach by TolerRx of any of its representations or
warranties under Section 11.1 of this Agreement.
10.3. NOTICE. A Party's compliance with this Section 10.3 is a
condition of indemnification under this Section 10 by the other Party. A person
or entity that intends to claim indemnification under this Section (the
"Indemnitee") shall promptly notify the other Party (the "Indemnitor") of any
loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect of which the Indemnitee
intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall assume sole
control of the defense and settlement thereof with counsel selected by
Indemnitor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee whether or not such
third party claim is rightfully brought; provided, however, that an Indemnitee
shall have the right to retain its own counsel to participate in such defense,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitee. The indemnity agreement
in this Section shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss,
claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed
unreasonably. The failure to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a
reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, only if prejudicial
to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such Indemnitor of any
liability to the Indemnitee under this Section. All delays of sixty (60) days or
more shall be deemed prejudicial. Except as provided in the Agreement, the
omission to so deliver notice to the Indemnitor will not relieve it of any
liability that it may have to any Indemnitee otherwise than under this Section.
The Indemnitee under this Section, its employees and agents, shall cooperate
fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigations of
any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification and the defense
thereof. The Indemnitor shall have the right to settle any loss, claim, damage,
liability or action only if the Indemnitee is fully indemnified with respect
thereto by the Indemnitor. A settlement requires the consent of the Indemnitee,
which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, only if the settlement
requires Indemnitee to bear other affirmative obligations (beyond the payment of
money damages and beyond obligations required by this Agreement).
10.4. INSURANCE.
(a) During the Term, and thereafter for the period of time
required below, each Party shall maintain an ongoing basis, COMMERCIAL GENERAL
LIABILITY ("CGL") insurance, including contractual liability, in the minimum
amount of $5,000,000 per occurrence and $10,000,000 annual aggregate combined
single limit for bodily injury and property damage liability. Commencing not
later than 30 days prior to the first use in humans of the first potential
Licensed Product and thereafter for the period of time required below each Party
shall obtain and maintain on an ongoing basis PRODUCTS LIABILITY ("PL")
insurance (including contractual liability) in the amount of at least
$10,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate combined single limit for bodily
injury and property damage liability. All of the above insurance coverage shall
be maintained with an insurance company or companies having an A.M. Best rating
of X-VII or better.
Execution Copy - 41 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
(b) Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date with
respect to the commercial general liability coverage, and not later than 30 days
prior to the first use in humans of the first potential Licensed Product with
respect to the products liability coverage, upon request of the other Party,
each Party shall provide to the other Party certificates evidencing all such
required coverage hereunder. Thereafter Genentech shall maintain such insurance
coverage without interruption during the Term and for 10 years after the
expiration or termination of the Term. TolerRx shall maintain such insurance
coverage without interruption during and after the Term until the later of: (A)
10 years after the expiration or termination of the Term or (B) ten (10) years
after the last sale of the last Licensed Product in the Territory by TolerRx as
permitted under Section 9.5(c)(iii), if applicable. Each Party shall provide
certificates evidencing such insurance coverage without interruption on an
annual basis (by no later than the annual renewal date for such coverage) during
the period of time for which such coverage must be maintained. Each Party shall
name the other Party as additional insureds under their respective CGL insurance
and PL insurance policies. The CGL and PL insurance policies shall be an
occurrence form, but if only a claims-made form is available, then it may be in
a claims-made form, subject to compliance with all of the terms of this Section
10.4. Each of the above insurance policies shall be primary insurance with
respect to each Party's own participation under this Agreement. The aggregate
deductibles under such CGL and PL insurance policies shall be satisfactory to
the other Party. At the request of either Party, the Parties agree to review and
discuss the requirements under this Section 10.4. Such insurance coverage shall
be subject to periodic review by the JSC and may be modified by the JSC.
10.5. SURVIVAL. This Section 10 shall survive termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
10.6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR NONPAYMENT BY EITHER PARTY,
BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SECTIONS 8,
9.5(c)(iii), 10 AND/OR 12.3 (AND/OR BREACH OF SUCH SECTIONS), IN NO EVENT SHALL
EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT
UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE
THEORY (I) FOR ANY AMOUNTS IN EXCESS, IN THE AGGREGATE, OF THE FEES PAID TO
TOLERRX HEREUNDER DURING THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE THE CAUSE OF
ACTION AROSE OR (II) FOR ANY INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOST DATA OR LOSS PROFITS OR (III) FOR ANY MATTER
BEYOND SUCH PARTY'S REASONABLE CONTROL, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT LIABILITY
FOR BODILY INJURY OF A PERSON.

beyond the reasonable control of the defaulting Party, provided that the Party
claiming force majeure has exerted reasonable commercial efforts to avoid or
remedy such force majeure; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall a Party be

12.13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
(a) INTERNAL RESOLUTION. For clarity, any and all issues
relating to the development and commercialization of the Licensed Products
(including but not limited to the Development Plan and content thereof, and
development and commercialization budgets) shall not be subject to this Section
12.13 but shall be resolved by the JSC in accordance with Section 2.2. For
clarity, a Dispute on the conclusions of the audit by the public accountant set
forth in Section 6.8 or disputes solely on Genentech's failure to apply the
methodology set forth in Section A.5 of Exhibit A attached hereto shall be
resolved in accordance with this Section 12.13. The Parties shall attempt to
settle all other disputes, controversies or claim arising out of or relating to
the validity, enforceability or performance of this Agreement, including
disputes relating to alleged breach or termination of this Agreement but
excluding any determination as to the validity or enforceability of the Parties'
intellectual property or infringement or claim interpretation relating to a
Party's patents (hereinafter, the "DISPUTE"), in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 12.13. The Parties have entered into the Agreement in good faith
and in the belief that it is mutually advantageous to them. It is with that same
spirit of cooperation that they pledge to attempt to resolve any Dispute
amicably. Accordingly, the Parties agree that if any Dispute should arise, it
shall then be referred to a member of senior management from each of the
Parties. If those individuals are unable to resolve the disagreement, the
Parties shall mediate their Dispute with a mediator mutually agreeable between
the Parties.
(b) ARBITRATION. Should the mediator be unable to resolve the
Dispute, (other than those issues excluded from this Section 12.13 in Section
12.13(a) above) all Disputes arising out of or relating to the validity,
enforceability or performance of this Agreement, or the breach or termination
thereof, shall be settled by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association as
hereinafter provided:
(i) The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of
three arbitrators ("the Panel"). Each party shall nominate in the request for
arbitration and the answer thereto one arbitrator and the two arbitrators so
named will then jointly appoint the third arbitrator as chairman of the Panel.
If one Party fails to nominate its arbitrator or, if the Parties' arbitrators
cannot agree on the person to be named as chairman within thirty (30) days, the
President of the American Arbitration Association shall make the necessary
appointments for arbitrator or chairman.
Execution Copy - 48 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
(ii) The place of arbitration shall be in San
Francisco, California and the arbitration proceedings shall be held in English.
The procedural law of California shall apply where the said Arbitration Rules
are silent.
(iii) The Panel is empowered to award any remedy
allowed by law, including money damages, prejudgment interest and attorneys'
fees, and to grant final, complete, interim or interlocutory relief, including
injunctive relief, but excluding punitive damages and multiple damages. For
purposes of all arbitration proceedings, the Parties shall be deemed to have
waived any right to such punitive damages or multiple damages. The decision of
the arbitration tribunal must be in writing and must specify the basis on which
the decision was made, and the award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final
and judgement upon such an award may be entered in any competent court or
application may be made to any competent court for judicial acceptance of such
an award and order of enforcement.
12.14. SOLE JURISDICTION FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DISPUTES. With
regard to any disputes, controversy, or claim arising out of this Agreement
involving any determination as to the validity or enforceability of the Parties'
intellectual property, or infringement or claim interpretation relating to a
Party's patents, the jurisdiction and venue for actions related to the subject
matter hereof shall be the U.S. federal court in
Delaware. The parties agree
that any such action related to this subject matter shall be brought solely in
the United States District Court ("USDC") for
Delaware ("DE"). The parties
hereby submit to personal jurisdiction in the USDC for DE and waive all claims
of improper forum, forum non conveniens, or other objection to the laying of
venue in such court. Both parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and
agree that process may be served in the manner provided herein for giving of
notices or otherwise as allowed by
Delaware or federal law.
12.15. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

EXHIBIT A
FINANCIAL PLANNING, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING FOR THE
TOLERRX/GENENTECH
COLLABORATION AGREEMENT
This Exhibit A is applicable only if TolerRx properly exercises the US
Profit/Loss Sharing Option and makes the US Cost Sharing Payments in accordance
with Section 6.5 and continues to make all balancing payments on time as
required by this Exhibit A so that each Party bears its appropriate percentage
of shared US Costs. For clarity, the definitions of "Net Sales" and "Fully
Burdened Manufacturing Cost" are applicable to Section 6 of the Agreement. For
clarity, Licensed Products(s) as referred to in this Exhibit A, shall only refer
to the Licensed Products(s) for which TolerRx has exercised and continues to
participate in the US Profit/Loss Sharing Option in accordance with Section 6.5
and Exhibit A.
This EXHIBIT A covers financial planning, accounting policies and procedures to
be followed in determining US Cost Sharing Payments and Operating Profits or
Losses and related sharing of revenue and expenses. This Exhibit A only covers
sharing of Operating Profits or Losses (including revenues and expenses)
relating to developing and commercializing Licensed Products within the United
States. Genentech shall be obligated to share Operating Profits or Losses as set
forth in Section 6.5 and this Exhibit A only during the time period set forth in
and subject to Section 6.5(b).
For purposes of this EXHIBIT A only, the accounting of Genentech's operations
related to the development and commercialization of Licensed Products in the
United States shall be referred to as the "COLLABORATION". The Collaboration is
not and shall not be characterized by either Party as a legal entity, pass
through or otherwise, for financial accounting or income tax reporting purposes,
and has been defined for identification purposes only. For the purposes of this
Agreement, any references to charging costs to the Collaboration means that such
costs shall be included in the calculation of "US Costs." For the purposes of
this Exhibit A, any references to costs incurred "by or for Genentech" "by
Genentech or for its account" or "by or on behalf of Genentech" or the like,
shall only refer to such costs incurred by Genentech or on behalf of Genentech
by Genentech's third party sublicensees and shall not refer to any costs
incurred by or on behalf of TolerRx.
For avoidance of doubt, pre-approved costs incurred by TolerRx in performing
TolerRx Development Plan Work shall be chargeable to the Collaboration (such
costs shall hereinafter be referred to as "TolerRx Development Plan Work
Costs").
All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided herein.
The contents of this EXHIBIT A are hereby incorporated into the Agreement and
are governed by the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including, without
limitation, the confidentiality provisions set forth therein. All reports or
information related to this Exhibit A required to be disclosed hereunder are
deemed Confidential Information of Genentech, regardless of whether such reports
or information are marked confidential or not.

GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
A.1. PRINCIPLES OF REPORTING
(a) SHARING US COSTS. US Costs shall be shared by TolerRx and Genentech as
provided in Sections 3.3 and 6.5 of the Agreement. The Parties shall establish a
Joint Finance Committee to be composed of one (1) employee representative
appointed by each Party, to coordinate the activities set forth in this Exhibit
A. Such representatives shall include individuals with expertise and
responsibilities in the areas of accounting, cost allocation, budgeting and
financial reporting. The JFC shall operate by consensus and in accordance with
the JSC's instructions, subject to the following sentence. If the JFC is unable
to resolve a dispute regarding any issue presented to it, such dispute shall be
referred to the JSC for resolution in accordance with Section 2.2. Any disputes
solely on Genentech's failure to apply the methodology set forth in Section A.5
herein or a Dispute on the conclusions of the audit by the public accountant set
forth in Section 6.8 shall be resolved in accordance with Section 12.13 of the
Agreement. All other disputes (including but not limited to budget disputes)
shall be resolved by the JSC in accordance with Section 2.2.
Results of the Collaboration will be reported by Genentech as follows:
Genentech TolerRx Total
--------- ------- -----
Gross Sales
less Sales Returns and Allowances
= Net Sales
less Cost of Sales
= Gross Profits
less Marketing Costs
less Sales Costs
less Development Costs
less Other Operating Income/Expense
less General and Administrative Costs
less Distribution Costs
= Operating Profits or Losses
Execution Copy - 2 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
It is the intention of the Parties that the interpretation of these definitions
will be consistent with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the
U.S.
Without limiting the foregoing, prior to the time that Gross Sales are obtained,
the Parties may eliminate the above line items related to sales and the support
of sales, and the costs thereof, and use only those terms relevant to the
sharing of Development Costs.
A.2. REPORTING.The fiscal year of the Collaboration will be a calendar year.
Reporting by each Party for Collaboration revenues and expenses will be
performed as follows:
Reporting Event Frequency Timing of Submission
--------------- --------- --------------------
Actuals (including draft Quarterly Q1-Q3: + 45 days
settlement statements) Q4: + 45 days
Forecasts Quarterly Q1-Q3 + 45 days
(rest of year - by month)
Settlement payments between
The Parties Quarterly Quarter end +60 days
Preliminary Budgets Annually September 15
(one year)
Final Commercial
And Development Budget Annually October 15
(one year - by quarter)
Long Range Plan Annually April 15
(current year plus 5 years)
TolerRx shall provide to Genentech within thirty (30) days after the end of each
quarter a calculation of TolerRx Development Plan Work Costs. Genentech will be
responsible for the preparation of consolidated reports on the Collaboration
(including US Costs and any Operating Profit or Loss), and calculation of the
sharing and determination of the cash settlement. Genentech will provide to
TolerRx within forty-five (45) days of Genentech's quarter end a statement
showing the calculations of the Operating Profit or Loss sharing (or calculation
of expenses to be shared) and cash settlement required in a format substantially
listed above.
The financial representatives from the Parties (i.e. the Joint Finance Committee
members) will meet as appropriate but at least quarterly to review the
following:
Execution Copy - 3 -
GENENTECH CONFIDENTIAL
- Development Costs
- actual results
- forecasts
- budgets
- Sales Returns and Allowances
- other financial matters determined by JSC,
including Genentech's methodologies for
charging costs to the Collaboration, for
determination of actuals, forecasts, budgets
and long range plans and the results of
applying such methodologies.
A.3. BUDGET.
Budgets will be prepared annually with detailed development and business plans
for clinical trials, drug approval applications, strategy for product
introduction, sales and promotion efforts, as determined by Genentech.
Responsibility for the budget and a five (5) year long range plan will rest with
Genentech, who will develop budgets for development and commercialization to be
presented to the JSC and JPT annually.
After Genentech develops the budget and provides a copy of such budget to the
JSC, any material changes to such budget shall be reviewed by the JSC. Genentech
may make nonmaterial changes to the budget from time to time. For clarity,
Genentech shall retain the final authority to determine the budget (including
but not limited to Marketing Costs, Distribution Costs, Sales Costs, US Costs,
and Development Costs).
A.4. PAYMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
Subject to Section 6.5(b), Genentech and TolerRx agree to share the Operating
Profit or Loss in the United States resulting from the Agreement in the
following manner:
(a) Genentech shall be allocated [***] of the Operating Profits
or Losses and
(b) TolerRx shall be allocated [***] of the Operating Profits or
Losses.
Payments to each Party of the percentages of Operating Profit or Loss as
provided above will be made quarterly, within sixty (60) days after the end of
each calendar quarter. Without limiting the foregoing, within sixty (60) days of
the end of each calendar quarter, there shall be reconciliation of the US Costs
which are to be shared and which are incurred during that quarter by Genentech
(including TolerRx Development Plan Work Costs incurred by TolerRx), with a
payment by TolerRx to Genentech or by Genentech to TolerRx to the extent
necessary so that

each Party bears its appropriate percentage of such shared US Costs. In the
event any payment is late, without limiting Genentech's other remedies
(including but not limited to Sections 6.5(b) and 6.5(c)), TolerRx or Genentech
shall increase the amount otherwise due and payable by adding interest thereon,
computed at the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%). "Prime Rate" means the rate of
interest as published in the weekly Federal Reserve H.15 Bulletin, or any
successor bulletin thereto.
A.5. COST METHODOLOGY.
Genentech shall provide to TolerRx its costing and accounting methodology in
determining Operating Profits or Losses. TolerRx shall have the right to confirm
that such methodology is consistent with GAAP.
A.6. START OF OPERATIONS AND EFFECTIVE ACCOUNTING DATE TERMINATION.
Operation of the Collaboration (and costs to be charged to the Collaboration)
will be deemed to have commenced as of the date of the filing of the first IND
by Genentech, only if TolerRx properly exercises the US Profit/Loss Sharing
Option and makes the US Cost Sharing Payments in accordance with Section 6.5 and
Exhibit A. Costs and expenses incurred prior to such date are not chargeable to
the Collaboration, except that costs to be charged to the Collaboration shall
include, but are not limited to, FTE Cost(s) and filing fees for filing of
IND(s) by Genentech.
For reporting and accounting purposes with respect to the Collaboration, the
effective termination date of Operating Profit or Loss sharing arrangement under

nearest month end closest to the end of the period set forth in Section 6.5(b)
or (B) the nearest calendar quarter end prior to the date that TolerRx first
fails to make the applicable balancing payments relating to sharing Operating
Profit or Loss on a timely basis in accordance with this Exhibit A and Section
6.5.
