EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT

for

RECEPTORS FOR FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTORS

This exclusive license agreement (“Agreement”) is made effective this Seventh day of September 2006 (“Effective Date”), by and between The Regents of the University of California, a California corporation, having its statewide administrative offices at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000 and acting through its Office of Technology Management, University of California San Francisco, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (“The Regents”) and Five Prime Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation, having a principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (“FivePrime”).

BACKGROUND

A. Certain inventions, generally characterized as Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs; collectively the “Invention”), were made in the course of research at the University of California, San Francisco, by Drs. Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxx X. Xxx and are claimed in the Patent Rights as defined below.

B. Drs. Williams, Johnson, and Xxx were employees of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Medical Institute (“HHMI”) and members of the faculty of The University of California, San Francisco, at the time the Invention was conceived and developed.

C. The development of the Invention was sponsored in part by the Department of Health and Human Services and, as a consequence, this license is subject to overriding obligations to the United States Federal Government under 35 U.S.C. §§ 200-212 and applicable regulations including a non-exclusive, non-transferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced the Invention for or on behalf of the United States Government throughout the world.


		1		*******_FivePrime

D. HHMI assigned its rights in the Invention to The Regents under the terms of the interinstitutional agreement with HHMI having UC Control No. *** (“HHMI Interinstitutional Agreement”), and accordingly, The Regents has the authority to license the entire interest in the Invention and any patent rights claiming it. Under the terms of the HHMI Interinstitutional Agreement, HHMI has reserved nonexclusive, paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable licenses, with no right to sublicense others, to make and use the invention for research purposes.

E. FivePrime and The Regents executed a Letter of Intent (UC Control No. ***) with an effective date of March 7, 2006, under which the parties agreed, among other things, to negotiate an agreement under which The Regents would license to FivePrime certain of The Regents’ rights for the commercial development of the Invention.

F. FivePrime now wishes to license such rights from The Regents, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and The Regents is willing to grant those rights so that the Invention may be developed and the benefits enjoyed by the general public.

G. The scope of such rights granted by The Regents is intended to extend to the scope of the patents and patent applications in Patent Rights, but only to the extent that The Regents has proprietary rights in and to such Patent Rights.

H. FivePrime is a “small business firm” as defined in 15 U.S.C. §632.

I. Both parties recognize and agree that royalties are due under this Agreement with respect to products and methods and that such royalties will be paid with respect to both pending patent applications and issued patents, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

J. Both parties recognize and agree that royalties due under this Agreement will be based on Licensee’s, Sublicensee’s, or a Further Sublicensee’s (as defined below) last act of infringement of Patent Rights within the control of Licensee, Sublicensee or a Further


		2		*******_FivePrime

Sublicensee, regardless of whether Licensee, Sublicensee or a Further Sublicensee had control over prior infringing acts; the parties intend that royalties due under this Agreement will be calculated based on the Net Sales of the product resulting from the last act of infringement by Licensee and its Sublicensees or Further Sublicensees.


		3		*******_FivePrime

The parties agree as follows:

1.	DEFINITIONS

As used in this Agreement, the following capitalized terms, whether used in the singular or plural, shall have the following meanings:

1.1.

“Affiliate,” with respect to FivePrime or any Sublicensee, means any entity which, directly or indirectly, Controls FivePrime or such Sublicensee, is Controlled by FivePrime or is under common Control with FivePrime. “Control” means (a) having the actual, present capacity to elect a majority of the directors of such affiliate; (ii) having the power to direct at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights entitled to elect directors; or (b) in any country where the local law will not permit foreign equity participation of a majority, ownership or control, directly or indirectly, of the maximum percentage of such outstanding stock or voting rights permitted by local law.

1.2.

“Affiliation Agreement” means an agreement entered into by FivePrime with any of its Affiliates governing such Affiliates’ license under the Patent Rights, as further described in Article3.

1.3.

“Attributed Income” means the total gross proceeds received by Licensee in consideration of the grant of a Sublicense or Further Sublicense, excluding the consideration described in Paragraph 1.3.1, and less the expenses described in Paragraph 1.3.2.

1.3.1 Exclusions:

(a) ***

(b) ***

1.3.2. Past research and development expenses specifically related to Sublicensed Product(s), including:

(a) ***


		4		*******_FivePrime

(b) ***

(d) ***

(e) ***

1.4.

“Combination Product” means a product that is combined with (i.e., contains, includes or incorporates) at least one Licensed Product and at least one product not covered by the Licensed Patents (a “Combination Product Component”), where (a) if such Combination Product Component were removed from such combined product, the manufacture, use, Sale or import of the remainder of the combined product in or into a particular country would infringe, but for a license, the Patent Rights in such country, (b) such Combination Product Component ***, and (c) the market price of such combined product is or would be higher than the market price for such Licensed Product due to its inclusion of the Combination Product Component. By way of illustration and not limitation, an example of a Combination Product would be an antibody to a fibroblast growth factor receptor, which is covered by the Patent Rights, sold with an antibody to a vascular endothelial cell growth factor, which is not covered by the Patent Rights.

1.5.

“Commercially Reasonable Efforts” means those efforts and resources that would be used by Licensee with regard to the diligent development, manufacture and commercialization of pharmaceutical products of similar market and profit potential, at a similar stage in development or product life (including without limitation the promptness with which such efforts and resources would be applied) as the applicable Licensed Product.

1.6.

“FDA” means the United States Food and Drug Administration and its foreign equivalents.

By way of example, use of a Licensed Product to screen a small-molecule library provided by an independent third party, in exchange for payment by such third party, would constitute the provision of Licensed Services.

1.8.

“Further Sublicense” means a sublicense granted by a Sublicensee to a third party, of any or all of the rights granted hereunder to such Sublicensee. For the avoidance of doubt, a Further Sublicense is not, nor does it include, any Sublicense, and vice versa.

1.9.

“Further Sublicensee” means a party with which a Sublicensee has entered into a Further Sublicense. For the avoidance of doubt, a Further Sublicensee is not, and does not include, any Sublicensee, and vice versa.

1.11.

“IND” means Investigational New Drug application to be filed with the FDA, and reference to the submission of an IND means the submission to the FDA.

1.12.

“Licensed Product” means any kit, article of manufacture, composition of matter, material, compound, component, or product , including, without limitation, one used in or made by practicing a Licensed Method, the manufacture, use, Sale, offer for Sale or import of which, in any given country, but for the license granted in this Agreement, would infringe, or contribute to, or induce the infringement of, any of Patent Rights were it issued at the time of the infringing activity in that country.

1.16.

“Licensed Therapeutic Product” means a Licensed Product used to prevent, treat, or cure one or more diseases or conditions.

1.17.

“Licensee” means Five Prime Therapeutics Inc. and those of its Affiliates with which it has entered into an Affiliation Agreement.

1.18.

1.19.2. Freight, handling, transport packing, postage, transportation and insurance charges associated with transportation;

1.19.3. Taxes, including Deductible Value Added Tax, tariffs or import/export duties based on Sales when included in the gross invoice price, but excluding value-added taxes other than Deductible Value Added Tax or taxes assessed on income derived from Sales. “Deductible Value Added Tax” means value added tax only to the extent that such value added tax is actually incurred and is not reimbursable, refundable or creditable under the tax authority of any country;

1.19.4. Those discounts and rebates that are part of a formulary program and are paid or credited to customers, third-party payers, healthcare systems, or administrators for a Licensed Product when included in such formulary program, as permitted by 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b;

1.19.5. Other rebates and discounts paid or credited pursuant to applicable law; and

1.19.6. Allowances for Uncollectible Amounts. For purposes of this Paragraph 1.19.6, “Uncollectible Amounts” means amounts owed and unpaid to Licensee or a Sublicensee for previously Sold Licensed Products, which Licensee or the Sublicensee has attempted to collect, using efforts at least as diligent as those efforts that Licensee or the Sublicensee (as applicable) uses in attempting to collect other overdue debts.

		8		*******_FivePrime

1.20.2. For any Relationship-Influenced Sale, Net Sales shall be based on the Net Invoice Price at which the Purchaser resells the Licensed Products that were the subject of the Sale;

1.20.3. In those instances where Licensed Product is not Sold but is otherwise exploited, or where consideration received for Licensed Product is other than money, Net Sales shall be equivalent to the gross invoice price charged for products of the same or similar kind and quality, Sold in similar quantities, currently being offered for Sale by the Licensee, or any Sublicensee or Further Sublicensee, or if not currently being offered for Sale by the Licensee or any Sublicensee or Further Sublicensee, by other manufacturers, less the items specified in Paragraphs 1.19.1-1.19.6. Where such products are not currently Sold or offered for Sale by anyone, Net Sales shall be the Licensee’s and/or any Sublicensee’s or Further Sublicensee’s cost of manufacture of the relevant Licensed Product, determined according to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), plus *** percent (***%).

1.20.4. In those instances where Licensee or any Sublicensee acquires a Licensed Product and then subsequently Sells it, Net Sales shall mean the Net Invoice Price on the Sale of such Licensed Product by Licensee, a Sublicensee or a Further Sublicensee, with the resulting Royalty due to The Regents subject to a deduction for any Royalties paid to The Regents on account of any earlier Sale of such Licensed Product;

1.20.5. For a Combination Product, Net Sales shall be calculated as:

(a)

(A/(A+B)) x (Net Sales, calculated without regard to this formula, of the Licensed Product that is included in the Combination Product), where:

(b)

“A” is the total of Net Sales of each Licensed Product contained included in the Combination Product, if Sold separately; and


		9		*******_FivePrime

(c)

“B” is the total of net sales (as calculated pursuant to Paragraphs 1.19 and 1.20) of each Combination Product Component included in the Combination Product, if Sold separately. (If the Combination Product Component(s) is not being sold or offered for sale separately by Licensee or a Sublicensee, the price of such component(s) shall be based on the price at which products of the same or similar kind and quality, sold in similar quantities, are then being offered for sale by other manufacturers. If the Combination Product Component(s) are not being sold or offered for sale separately at all, then the price of such components shall be equal to Licensee’s or Sublicensee’s cost of manufacture of the Licensed Product, determined according to generally accepted accounting principles, plus *** percent (***%)

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 1.20.5, in no event shall Net Sales of a Combination Product be less than *** percent (***%) of Net Sales of the Licensed Product included in the Combination Product, calculated without regard to this formula.

1.20.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers or other dispositions of Licensed Products for no consideration or for consideration at or below the cost of manufacture thereof, in commercially reasonable quantities, for charitable or benevolent (e.g., for use in investigator-initiated studies by not-for-profit entities), promotional, preclinical, clinical, manufacturing scale-up, regulatory or governmental (i.e., required by a governmental authority to be supplied to a governmental authority for use by such governmental authority) purposes, and the like, shall not be included in the calculation of Net Invoice Price or Net Sales. Licensee shall promptly notify The Regents of all Sales it believes are within the scope of this Paragraph 1.20.6. In any case in which it is not clear if a transfer or other disposition of Licensed Products falls within the scope of this Paragraph 1.20.6, the parties will promptly confer and attempt to resolve the matter in good faith.


		10		*******_FivePrime

1.21.

“New Developments” means inventions, or claims to inventions, which constitute advancements, developments or improvements, whether or not patentable and whether or not the subject of any patent application, which are not sufficiently supported by the specification of a previously-filed patent or patent application within the Patent Rights to be entitled to the priority date of the previously-filed patent or patent application.

Patent Rights do not include any rights in or to New Developments.

1.25.

“Related Party” means a corporation, firm, other entity or individual with which Licensee or any Sublicensee or Further Sublicensee (or any of their respective stockholders, subsidiaries or Affiliates) has any agreement, understanding or arrangement (e.g., but not by way of limitation, an option to purchase stock or other equity interest, or an arrangement involving a division of revenue, profits, discounts, rebates or allowances) unrelated to the Sale of Licensed Products, that causes Licensee or such Sublicensee or Further Sublicensee to extend to such corporation, firm, other entity or individual lower prices for such Licensed Products, in similar quantities, than those prices charged to others without such an agreement, understanding or arrangement with Licensee or such Sublicensee or Further Sublicensee.


		11		*******_FivePrime

GRANTS

2.1.

Subject to the limitations and other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including those set forth in Paragraphs 2.4 and 2.5, The Regents hereby grants to Licensee (a) exclusive licenses under the UC Patents, and (b) exclusive sublicenses under its rights to the Novartis Patents, which were obtained pursuant to a license agreement between The Regents and Novartis attached to this Agreement as an Appendix C, to make, Have Made, use, Sell, Have Sold, offer for Sale, and import Licensed Products and to practice the Licensed Method in the United States and in other countries where The Regents may lawfully grant such licenses, only in the Field of Use.

2.2.

The Regents represents that (a) Appendix C is a true and correct copy of the aforementioned license agreement between The Regents and Novartis and (b) said license is in good standing.

2.3.

Licensee agrees that (a) the licenses granted to it hereunder to the UC Patents and (b) the sublicenses granted to it hereunder to the Novartis Patents, are of equal value.


		13		*******_FivePrime

2.4.

The licenses under the UC Patents will be subject to the overriding obligations to the United States Government including those set forth in 35 U.S.C. §200-212 and applicable governmental implementing regulations and the obligation to report on utilization of the Invention set forth in 37 CFR §401.14(h).

2.5.

The licenses under the UC Patents also will be subject to the paid-up, non-exclusive, irrevocable licenses reserved by HHMI to make and use the Invention for its research purposes. Such licenses reserved by HHMI specified in the recitals and the immediately prior sentence do not include the right to sublicense others. Moreover, the licenses granted to Licensee hereunder also are subject to the National Institutes of Health “Principles and Guidelines for Recipients of NIH Research Grants and Contracts on Obtaining and Disseminating Biomedical Research Resources” set forth in 64F.R. 72090 (Dec. 23, 1999) and HHMI’s statement of policy on research tools. HHMI’s policy can be found at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxx/xxxxxxxxx/0000000.xxx.

2.6.

The Regents reserves and retains the right (and the rights granted to Licensee in this Agreement shall be limited accordingly) to make, use and practice the Invention and any technology relating to the Invention and to make and use any products and to practice any processes that are the subject of the Patent Rights (and to grant any of the foregoing rights to other educational and non-profit institutions) solely for educational and research purposes, including without limitation, any sponsored research performed for or on behalf of commercial entities and including publication and other communication of any research results. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Invention and any technology relating thereto is not the subject of the exclusive license granted hereunder, The Regents shall be free to make, use, Sell, offer to Sell, import, practice and otherwise commercialize and exploit (including transferring to, licensing, or having practiced by third parties) for any purpose whatsoever and in its sole discretion, such Invention, technology and any products or processes that are the subject of the Patent Rights.


		14		*******_FivePrime

2.7.

Because the Invention was made under funding provided by the United States Government, Licensed Products Sold by Licensee, Sublicensees or Further Sublicensees in the United States will be substantially manufactured in the United States, as required under applicable federal regulations.

3.	AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS

3.1.

In order for an Affiliate of FivePrime to be considered a Licensee, such Affiliate shall be subject to a written Affiliation Agreement that shall include terms and conditions that are consistent with and not in violation of any applicable terms, conditions, obligations, restrictions or other covenants of this Agreement that protect or benefit The Regents’ (and, if applicable, the U.S. Government’s and other sponsors’) rights and interests. FivePrime shall attach a copy of this Agreement to each Affiliation Agreement, provided that FivePrime may redact from such copy economic terms and technical information that does not relate to the Affiliation Agreement, and shall specify in the Affiliation Agreement that the Affiliate must comply with all applicable terms of this Agreement, as if the Affiliate were FivePrime. Within *** days of execution of any Affiliation Agreement, FivePrime shall (a) provide The Regents with a copy of the Affiliation Agreement, provided that FivePrime may redact from such copy technical information and economic terms that do not relate to the Patent Rights, and (b) notify The Regents of the identity of and contact information for such Affiliate.

3.2.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the operations of all Affiliates who have entered into an Affiliation Agreement shall be deemed to be the operations of FivePrime, for which FivePrime shall be responsible. FivePrime will collect from all Affiliates who have entered into an Affiliation Agreement and will pay to The Regents all fees, payments, and royalties that are due to The Regents hereunder. FivePrime will guarantee all monies due The Regents from all Affiliates who have entered into an Affiliation Agreement. For clarity, if an Affiliation Agreement contains a provision for payment of


		15		*******_FivePrime

royalties in an amount that is less than the Royalties required to be paid under Paragraph 8.1, then FivePrime will pay to The Regents the difference between such lesser amount and the relevant Royalties. FivePrime will either (a) include in its Progress Reports and Quarterly Reports (defined below) to The Regents the activities of, and Royalties due from all Affiliates who have entered into an Affiliation Agreement or (b) require any Affiliates who have entered into an Affiliation Agreement whose activities are not covered in FivePrime’s Progress Reports and Quarterly Reports to provide FivePrime with copies of progress reports and quarterly reports that are consistent with the provisions herein, and provide copies of such reports to The Regents.

3.3.

If FivePrime contemplates entering into an agreement with an Affiliate of FivePrime under which it would grant such Affiliate a license to patent rights other than the Patent Rights (“FivePrime’s Patent Rights”), and believes, in good faith, that such Affiliate would infringe any of the Patent Rights in practicing FivePrime’s Patent Rights, then FivePrime will not enter into such agreement with the Affiliate but will enter into an Affiliation Agreement instead.

3.4.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, all Affiliation Agreements shall automatically terminate, unless The Regents, at its sole discretion, agrees in writing to an assignment to The Regents of any such Affiliation Agreement. The Regents shall not be bound to any duties under such an assigned Affiliation Agreement beyond The Regents’ duties under this Agreement. Such an assignment will include a modification of the Affiliation Agreement at issue that requires payment of Royalties directly to The Regents by the Affiliate, as if it were FivePrime, at a rate that is no lower than the rates set forth in Paragraph 8.1, in accordance with Article 5 (Payment Terms).


		16		*******_FivePrime

4.	RIGHT TO GRANT SUBLICENSES

4.1.

The Regents also grants to Licensee the right to sublicense to third parties the Patent Rights, with no right to grant further sublicenses except as provided below, as long as Licensee has exclusive rights thereto under this Agreement. Each Sublicensee must be subject to a written sublicense agreement as specified in Paragraph 4.3. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee’s Joint Ventures shall have no licenses under this Agreement unless such Joint Ventures are granted Sublicenses. For the purposes of this Agreement, the operations of all Sublicensees shall be deemed to be the operations of Licensee, for which Licensee shall be responsible.

4.2.

Under the terms of each Sublicense, the Sublicensee thereunder shall have the limited right (as described below) to grant Further Sublicenses. A Further Sublicense may only be granted to the extent that the Sublicensee deems it to be reasonably needed for the development, seeking of Marketing Approval or other regulatory approval (including conducting pre-clinical and clinical trials), manufacture and/or commercialization of Sublicensed Product(s), and/or the maximization of Sales of such product(s).

4.3.

Each Sublicensee and its permitted Further Sublicensees shall be subject to a written sublicense agreement that shall be consistent with and not in violation of any applicable terms, conditions, obligations, restrictions or other covenants of this Agreement that protect or benefit The Regents’ (and, if applicable, the U.S. Government’s and other sponsors’) rights and interests. Licensee shall attach a copy of this Agreement to each Sublicense, provided that Licensee may redact from such copy economic teens and technical information that does not relate to the Sublicensed Patent Rights, and shall specify in the Sublicense that the Sublicensee must comply with all applicable terms of this Agreement, as if the Sublicensee were Licensee and Licensee were The Regents hereunder. Within *** days of the issuance of any Sublicense, Licensee shall provide The Regents with a copy of the Sublicense, provided that Licensee may redact from such copy technical information that does not relate to the Patent Rights, and economic terms that do not relate to the grant of the Sublicense under the Patent Rights.


		17		*******_FivePrime

4.4.

Licensee will collect from Sublicensees and will pay to The Regents all fees, payments, and royalties thereunder that are due to The Regents. Licensee will guarantee all monies due The Regents from Sublicensees. For clarity, if a Sublicense contains a provision for payment of royalties in an amount that is less than the Royalties required to be paid under Paragraph 8.1, then Licensee will pay to The Regents the difference between such lesser amount and the relevant Royalties. Licensee will require Sublicensees to provide it with copies of progress reports and quarterly reports that are consistent with the provisions herein and Licensee will collect and deliver copies of such reports to The Regents.

4.5.

If Licensee contemplates granting a license to patent rights other than the Patent Rights (“Licensee’s Patent Rights”) and believes, in good faith, that the recipient of such license would infringe any of the Patent Rights in practicing such Licensee’s Patent Rights, then Licensee will not grant a license to Licensee’s Patent Rights without concurrently granting a Sublicense under the Patent Rights.

4.6.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, all Sublicenses and Further Sublicenses shall automatically terminate, unless The Regents, at its sole discretion, agrees in writing to an assignment to The Regents of any such Sublicense. The Regents shall not be bound to any duties under such an assigned Sublicense beyond The Regents’ duties under this Agreement. Such an assignment will include a modification of the Sublicense at issue that requires payment of Royalties directly to The Regents by the Sublicensee as if it were Licensee at a rate that is no lower than the rates set forth in Paragraph 8.1 in accordance with Article 6 (Payment Terms).

5.	PAYMENT TERMS

5.1.

Royalties will accrue in each country in which a Licensed Product, but for the license, infringes any of the existing Patent Rights, until the earlier of (a) expiration of the last to expire of such of Patent Rights in such country or (b) cessation of Sale of the Licensed Product in such country. Sublicense Fees shall become payable to The Regents within *** days of the date that the Attributed Income on which they are based is received by Licensee.

5.2.

Licensee will pay to The Regents all Royalties to The Regents, on a calendar quarterly basis, on or before each March 31 (for Royalties received during the quarter ending December 31), June 30 (for Royalties received during the quarter ending March 31), September 30 (for Royalties received during the quarter ending June 30) and December 31 (for Royalties received during the quarter ending September 30) of each calendar year. All consideration due to The Regents will be payable in United States dollars by (a) check payable to “The Regents of the University of California,” or (b) wire transfer to an account designated by The Regents, provided that Licensee shall be responsible for all bank or other transfer charges associated with such wire transfer. When Licensed Products are Sold for monies other than United States dollars, the Royalties will first be determined in the foreign currency of the country in which such Licensed Products were Sold and then converted into equivalent United States dollars. The exchange rate will be the average exchange rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal during the last *** days of the relevant reporting period.

5.3.

Sublicense Fees and Royalties due hereunder that accrue outside the United States may not be reduced by any taxes, fees or other charges imposed by the government of such country, except for those taxes, fees and charges that may be deducted from Net Sales pursuant to Paragraphs 1.19 and 1.20.

5.4.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 27 (Force Majeure), if at any time, legal restrictions prevent Licensee’s prompt remittance of Royalties owed on Net Sales in a given country, the proceeds of which have been received by Licensee, then Licensee shall convert the amount owed to The Regents into United States dollars and will pay The Regents directly from another source of funds in order to remit the entire amount owed to The Regents.

5.5.

In the event that any patent or claim thereof included within the Patent Rights is held invalid in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort and from which no appeal has or can be taken, then all obligation to pay Royalties based on that patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct therefrom will cease as of the date of final decision. Licensee will not, however, be relieved from paying any Royalties that accrued before such final decision, and Licensee shall be obligated to pay the full amount of Royalties due hereunder with respect to the remaining Patent Rights.

5.6.

No Royalties will be collected by or paid hereunder to The Regents on Licensed Products Sold to the account of the United States Government as provided in the license retained by the United States Government pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 200-212. Licensee and Sublicensees will reduce the amount charged for Licensed Products Sold to the United States Government by an amount equal to the Royalty for such Licensed Products that otherwise would be due to The Regents. Such reduction in Royalties will be in addition to any other reductions in price required by the United States Government.

5.7.

In the event that Royalties, Sublicense Fees, reimbursements for Patent Prosecution Costs or other monies owed to The Regents are not received by The Regents when due, Licensee will pay The Regents interest at a rate of *** percent (***%) simple interest per annum. Such interest will be calculated from the date payment was due until actually received by The Regents.

20.	PATENT PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE

20.1.

As long as Licensee has paid Patent Prosecution Costs as provided in this Article 20 (Patent Prosecution and Maintenance), The Regents will diligently prosecute and maintain all patents and patent applications comprising the Patent Rights using counsel of its choice. The Regents’ counsel will take instructions only from The Regents. Upon Licensee’s written instructions, The Regents will promptly instruct its counsel to provide Licensee, at Licensee’s expense, with copies of all correspondence between The Regents and their counsel and all other documentation, past and present, relevant to the Patent Rights, so that Licensee will be fully informed of the continuing prosecution and may comment upon such documentation sufficiently in advance of any initial deadline for filing a response, provided, however, that if (a) Licensee has not commented upon such documentation in a reasonable time to enable The Regents to sufficiently consider Licensee’s comments prior to a deadline with the relevant government patent office, or (b) The Regents must act immediately to preserve the Patent Rights, The Regents will be free to respond without consideration of Licensee’s comments. All such documentation shall be the Proprietary Information of The Regents, pursuant to Article 31 (Confidentiality).

20.2.

The Regents shall use reasonable efforts to amend any patent application to include claims reasonably requested by Licensee to protect the products contemplated to be Sold, or the Licensed Methods to be practiced, under this Agreement.

20.3.

Licensee will apply, in the name of The Regents, for an extension of the term of any patent included within the Patent Rights if appropriate under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 and/or European, Japanese and other foreign counterparts of this Law. Licensee shall prepare all relevant documents. The Regents


		32		*******_FivePrime

shall cooperate with Licensee in such preparation and shall execute the documents and take additional action as Licensee reasonably requests in connection therewith. Licensee shall be liable for all costs relating to such application.

20.4.

The Regents shall inform Licensee, in writing, of all Patent Prosecution Costs as soon as practicable and, in the case of patent maintenance fees, at least *** months prior to their due date. In addition, in the event that any non-routine or unanticipated Patent Prosecution Costs may be incurred (e.g., those relating to an interference proceeding or re-examination), The Regents shall discuss those matters with Licensee, in advance, and the parties will make diligent efforts to agree upon a strategy and expense parameters with respect thereto. Licensee will bear all Patent Prosecution Costs (to the extent they have not been and are not, in the future, paid by a third party). Patent Prosecution Costs billed by The Regents’ counsel will be re-billed to Licensee and are due within *** days of Licensee’s receipt of invoice from by The Regents. Patent Prosecution Costs will include, without limitation, patent prosecution costs for the Invention incurred by The Regents prior to the Effective Date and any costs that may be incurred by The Regents for patentability opinions, re-examination, re-issue, interferences, oppositions or inventorship determinations with respect to the Invention or the Patent Rights. The parties agree that, of the total amount of Patent Prosecution Costs incurred by The Regents through August 30,2006, the amount payable by Licensee hereunder shall be $***, less credit for any such costs paid by Licensee prior to the Effective Date. Such amount will be due within *** days of the Effective Date or Licensee’s receipt of invoice therefor from The Regents, whichever is later, and Licensee’s payment of that amount shall relieve Licensee of any further obligation to pay for Patent Prosecution Costs incurred by The Regents prior to August 30, 2006.

Licensee will notify The Regents of its decision to obtain such foreign patents not less than *** days prior to the deadline for any payment, filing or action to be taken in connection therewith. The notice shall be in writing, and shall (a) identify the countries in which such protection is desired, and (b) must confirm Licensee’s obligation to pay the Patent Prosecution Costs thereof The absence of such a notice from Licensee to The Regents will be considered an election not to obtain or maintain such patent rights.

20.6.

Licensee will be obligated to pay any Patent Prosecution Costs incurred during the *** month period after receipt by either party of a Notice of Termination of this Agreement, even if the invoices for such Patent Prosecution Costs are received by Licensee after the end of the *** month period following receipt of a Notice of Termination.

20.7.

Licensee may terminate its obligation to pay Patent Prosecution Costs with respect to any given patent application or patent under Patent Rights in any or all designated countries upon ***-months’ written notice to The Regents. The Regents may continue prosecution and/or maintenance of such application(s) or patent(s) at its sole discretion and expense, provided, however, that Licensee will have no further right or licenses thereunder. Non-payment of Patent Prosecution Costs when due, followed by Licensee’s failure to make such payment within *** days of receipt of a written notice from The Regents stating that continued non-payment may result in Licensee’s loss of the relevant Licensed Patents, may be deemed an election by Licensee not to maintain such the application(s) or patent(s) to which such Patent Prosecution costs relate.

20.8.

If The Regents decides to file, prosecute or maintain Patent Rights in any country in which Patent Rights did not exist as of the Effective Date, The Regents shall so notify Licensee, in writing, and Licensee shall have *** days to elect to pay the reasonable Patent Prosecution Costs thereof Unless Licensee so elects within such ***-day period, The Regents may file, prosecute or maintain such Patent Rights at its own expense and those Patent Rights will not be subject to this Agreement.

As soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the parties will confer, and during the *** day period following the Third-Party Infringement Notice (the “***-Day Period”), they will make diligent efforts to cooperate with each other to terminate the infringement without litigation. The parties also will discuss, and tentatively agree on, a course of action to be taken (including the possibility of bringing a joint action against the infringer) if the infringement does not xxxxx within the ***-Day Period.

22.2.

Unless the parties agree otherwise, in writing, during the ***-Day Period, in any jurisdiction where Licensee has exclusive Patent Rights under this Agreement, neither The Regents nor Licensee will notify a possible infringer of its infringement of the Patent Rights in any manner that would provide a basis for an action such possible infringer for declaratory judgment, without first obtaining the written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

22.3.2.

Promptly after Licensee has so notified The Regents, The Regents may join the suit voluntarily, or Licensee may bring an action for compulsory joinder of the Regents in the suit, and Licensee shall bear both parties’ costs of the litigation. Licensee shall not join The Regents in any suit against an infringer hereunder, without The Regents’ prior written consent, except as expressly provided above.

22.3.3. If Licensee does not file suit pursuant to Paragraph 22.3.2 within *** days after the effective date of the Third-Party Infringement Notice, or if Licensee informs The Regents, in writing, that it does not intend to file such a suit, The Regents may initiate suit, and Licensee will not be entitled to join in the suit without The Regents’ written consent.

22.3.4. In any litigation instituted by a single party pursuant to this Article 22 (an “Initiating Party”), unless the parties have agreed otherwise, in writing, (a) the other party shall cooperate with the Initiating Party in the litigation proceedings, at the expense of the Initiating Party, (b) the Initiating Party shall control the litigation proceedings and (c) a party that joins or is joined in such proceedings after they have been initiated may be represented by counsel of its choice, at its own expense.

22.4.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the infringement or potential infringement pertains to an issued patent included within the Patent Rights and written notice is received by Licensee or The Regents under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (and/or foreign counterparts of this Law), then the party in receipt of such notice under the Act shall promptly provide a copy of the notice to the other party. If the time period is such that Licensee will lose the right to pursue its legal remedies for infringement by not notifying a third party of infringement (including notification in a manner that could provide a basis for an action by the possible infringer for declaratory judgment), or by not filing suit, the ***-Day Period shall be accelerated to one within *** days of the date of such notice under such Act.

22.5.

The costs of litigation incurred in any suit filed pursuant to this Article 22, to the extent it relates to the Patent Rights (as opposed to any other proprietary or licensed rights of the a party initiating the suit) shall be allocated as follows:

22.5.1. In an action brought in accordance with Paragraph 22.3.1, each party shall bear its own costs.

22.5.2. In an action brought in accordance with Paragraph 22.3.2, Licensee shall bear all costs.

22.5.3. In an action brought in accordance with Paragraph 22.3.3 by The Regents shall bear all costs, unless Licensee joins in the suit, in which case each party shall bear its own costs.

22.6.

Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit filed pursuant to this Article 22, to the extent it relates to the Patent Rights, will first be used to reimburse the parties’ costs of litigation and/or assistance therewith. If the award is insufficient to cover all litigation costs, it will be divided between the parties in proportion to the


		37		*******_FivePrime

expenses incurred by each party (e.g., if Licensee bore 60% of the total costs of the litigation, Licensee would receive 60% of the recovery or settlement). Any remainder of the award shall be allocated as follows:

22.6.1. In an action brought in accordance with Paragraph 22.3.1, or an action brought in accordance with Paragraph 22.4.3 in which Licensee joins, the remainder shall be divided evenly between the parties.

22.6.2. In an action brought in accordance with Paragraph 22.3.2 (and for which Licensee has borne all costs of litigation), *** percent (***%) of the remainder shall belong to Licensee, and *** percent (***%) shall belong to The Regents.

22.6.3. In an action brought in accordance with Paragraph 22.3.3 by The Regents, independently, *** percent (***%) of the remainder shall belong to The Regents.

22.7.

Any agreement made by Licensee for purposes of settling litigation or other form of dispute with an infringer of the Patent Rights shall comply with the requirements of Article 4 (Right to Grant Sublicenses), and no agreement made by The Regents for purposes of settling litigation or another dispute with an infringer of the Patent Rights shall be inconsistent with the license granted to Licensee hereunder, unless the parties agree otherwise, in writing.

23.	INDEMNIFICATION

23.1.

Licensee will, and will require its Sublicensees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend The Regents and its officers, employees and agents, the sponsors of the research that led to the Invention, and the inventors of any invention claimed in patents or patent applications under Patent Rights (including the Licensed Products and Licensed Methods contemplated thereunder) and their employers against any and all claims, suits, losses, damage, costs, fees and expenses resulting from, or arising out of the exercise of this license or any sublicense. This indemnification will include, but not be limited to, any product liability. If The Regents, in its sole discretion, believes that there will be a


		38		*******_FivePrime

conflict of interest or it will not otherwise be adequately represented by counsel chosen by Licensee to defend The Regents in accordance with this Paragraph 23.1, then The Regents may retain counsel of its choice to represent it and Licensee will pay all expenses for such representation.

23.2.

HHMI and its trustees, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “HHMI Indemnitees”) employers will be indemnified, defended by counsel acceptable to HHMI, and held harmless by Licensee from and against any claim, liability, cost, expense, damage, deficiency, loss, or obligation of any kind or nature (including, without limitations, reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses of defense) based on, resulting from, arising out of, or otherwise relating to this Agreement or the exercise of this license or any sublicense, including without any limitation cause of action relating to product liability (collectively, “Claims”). The previous sentence will not apply to any Claim that is determined with finality by a court of competent jurisdiction to result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an HHMI Indemnitee. For clarity, acts conducted under the retained rights and licenses set forth in Paragraphs 2.4 and 2.5 are not subject to this indemnification obligation of Licensee or Sublicensees. If HHMI, in its sole discretion, believes that there will be a conflict of interest or it will not otherwise be adequately represented by counsel chosen by Licensee to defend the HHMI Indemnitees in accordance with this Paragraph 23.2, then HHMI may retain counsel of its choice to represent the HHMI Indemnitees, and Licensee will pay all expenses for such representation.

23.3.

Licensee, at its sole cost and expense, will insure its activities in connection with any work performed hereunder and will obtain and maintain (or an equivalent program of self insurance), Comprehensive or Commercial Form General Liability Insurance (contractual liability included) with limits as follows:

From the Effective Date until the date of initiation of the first Phase I Clinical Trial:


		• Each Occurrence		$*******

(c)

From the date of the first Sale of a Licensed Product through a *** year period following the termination or expiration of this Agreement:


		• Each Occurrence		$*******
		• Products/Completed Operations Aggregate		$*******
		• Personal and Advertising Injury		$*******
		• General Aggregate (Commercial Form only)		$*******

23.4.

The coverage and limits referred to in Paragraph 23.3 will not in any way limit the liability of Licensee. Licensee will furnish The Regents with certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with all requirements. Such certificates will:

•

Provide for *** days’ advance written notice to The Regents of any modification;

•

Indicate that The Regents and HHMI have been endorsed as an additional insured(s) under the coverage described above; and

•

Include a provision that the coverage will be primary and will not participate with, nor will be excess over, any valid and collectable insurance or program of self-insurance maintained by The Regents and HHMI.


		40		*******_FivePrime

23.5.

The Regents will promptly notify Licensee in writing of any Claim brought against The Regents for which The Regents intends to invoke the provisions of this Article 23. Licensee will keep The Regents informed of its defense of any claims pursuant to this Article 23.

23.6.

In the case of an HHMI Indemnitee, notice shall be given to Licensee reasonably promptly following actual receipt of written notice thereof by an officer or attorney of HHMI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of any HHMI Indemnitee to give prompt notice to Licensee of any Claim shall not affect the rights of such HHMI Indemnitee unless, and then only to the extent that, such delay or failure is prejudicial to or otherwise adversely affects Licensee. Licensee will keep HHMI informed of its defense of any claims or suits pursuant to this Article 23.

Subject to the terms hereof, Novartis V&D hereby grants to UCSF a worldwide, exclusive license (with the right to grant sublicenses) under the Licensed Patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import Licensed Products.

3.	PAYMENTS TO NOVARTIS V&D

3.1. License Fee. UCSF shall pay Novartis V&D *** percent (***%) of any Fees that UCSF receives from any exploitation of the Licensed Patents or any commercialization of the Licensed Products, including without limitation any Fees that UCSF receives from any sublicense (the “License Fee”).

UCSF shall make payment of the License Fee to Novartis V&D on a quarterly basis, as of the last day of March, June, September and December, respectively, for the calendar quarter ending on that date. For any calendar quarter in which any License Fee is payable to Novartis V&D, UCSF shall also submit to Novartis V&D, along with the License Fee, a quarterly report setting out Fees that UCSF received and the source(s) for each of such Fees, and if such Fees were derived from a Licensed Product, the Fees received from each Licensed Product by product and country.

Final				Page 2 of 6

In no event shall such notification occur later than the date on which such Licensed Patent is deemed abandoned. Should Novartis V&D wish to resume prosecution, maintenance or defense of such Licensed Patent following notification by UCSF of its intent to abandon the Licensed Patent, UCSF agrees to cooperate with Novartis V&D to enable Novartis V&D to resume prosecution, maintenance and defense of any such Licensed Patent, including without limitation providing documents filed with, or correspondence sent to or received from, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any other relevant authority. The license granted pursuant to Section 2 with respect to any such Licensed Patent shall immediately terminate upon UCSF’s giving of any such notice of its intent to abandon or permit to lapse any such Licensed Patent.
