ECONOMICS OF CO-PROMOTION; PROFIT SHARING
ECONOMICS OF CO-PROMOTION; PROFIT SHARING
Section 8.1 Overview. Pursuant to this Agreement, Onyx and Bayer shall share equally in the
Co-Promotion Marketing Profit or Loss, as the case may be, generated by the promotion of
Co-Promotion Collaboration Products in the United States. As described more fully below, the
Co-Promotion Marketing Profit or Loss shall be determined pursuant to a Joint Profit and Loss
Statement, as described in Section 8.2, that will detail the Allowable Co-Promotion Expenses to be
deducted from Co-Promotion Net Sales in calculating Co-Promotion Marketing Profit or Loss.
Following such calculation, Co-Promotion Marketing Profit or Loss shall be allocated fifty percent
(50%) to each party. As further described in (and subject to) Section 8.8 below, following the
allocation of Co-Promotion Marketing Profit between Bayer and Onyx and the subsequent deduction of
one-half of the aggregate Sales Force Expenses, MSL Expenses and Co-Development Costs incurred by
Onyx and Bayer, Bayer shall continue to be entitled to reduce payments of Co-Promotion Marketing
Profit otherwise due Onyx hereunder by the amount of any special distribution as repayment of
Development Payments made by Bayer to Onyx under the Collaboration Agreement.
Section 8.2 Joint Profit and Loss Statement. The reporting and determination (subject to the
provisions of this Article VIII) of Co-Promotion Marketing Profit or Loss under this Agreement
shall be governed by a joint profit and loss statement (the “Joint Profit and Loss Statement”) to
be prepared by [ * ]. Such Joint Profit and Loss Statement shall be prepared and delivered
consistent with the provisions of Sections 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 hereof, and all other relevant terms
and conditions of this Agreement, and shall be approved by the Executive Committee.

of Co-Promotion Collaboration Products in the following manner:
(a) [ * ], Bayer shall report Gross Sales of Co-Promotion Collaboration Product made in the
United States for [ * ];
(b) Within [ * ] days of the end of each of the [ * ] of each Contract Year, Bayer shall
report Co-Promotion Net Sales accrued in the United States for Co-Promotion Collaboration Product
for the preceding [ * ]; and

Section 8.4 Allowable Expenses.
(a) Commencing for the Contract Year that begins on the Co-Promotion Effective Date, and
within [ * ] days of the end of each calendar month thereafter and within [ * ] days of the end of
each Contract Year thereafter, each party shall provide the other party with a [ * ] report of that
party’s Allowable Co-Promotion Expenses incurred (each, an “Allowable Expense Report”) setting
forth the following information relating to the [ * ] and comparisons of such information to the
then-current Co-Promotion Program and Budget: the party’s Allowable Co-Promotion Expenses showing
each specific type of cost included in the definition of Allowable Co-Promotion Expenses separately
and listing the project relating to each such cost, if applicable. Each party shall be solely
responsible for its own Sales Force Expenses and MSL Expenses in promoting the Co-Promotion
Collaboration Product, unless otherwise approved by the Executive Committee and each of the parties
agree that the parties have been solely responsible for their own Sales Force Expenses and MSL
Expenses since [ * ]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the parties decide to reallocate
responsibility for providing Sales FTEs and/or MSLs so that one party provides less than fifty
percent (50%) of the overall number of Sales FTEs and/or MSLs required, then the party providing
fewer than half of the overall Sales FTEs and/or MSLs shall [ * ] (provided,
however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.4(a) shall be construed to entitle either
party to [ * ] of Sales FTEs or MSLs at a [ * ] that established from time to time by the Executive
Committee). The [ * ] made pursuant to the foregoing sentence with respect to Sales FTEs shall [ *
]: (i) [ * ] and (ii) [ * ]. The [ * ] made pursuant to the foregoing sentence with respect to
MSLs shall [ * ]: (i) [ * ] and (ii) [ * ].
(b) Each such Allowable Expense Report shall be delivered in a mutually-agreeable electronic
format to the extent possible or in hard copy form. Each Allowable Expense Report shall be treated
as Confidential Information of the reporting party and, subject to Applicable Laws, shall not be
disclosed to Third Parties without such party’s prior written approval or direction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent either party from
using the data in any Allowable Expense Reports in connection with its compliance with its price
reporting obligations under Applicable Laws (provided, however, that each party shall use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to protect Confidential Information of the other party).

(c) The expenses included in the Joint Profit and Loss Statement and submitted by each party
shall [ * ] or [ * ], and all such expenses shall be incurred pursuant to and consistent with the
Co-Promotion Program and Budget or as otherwise determined by the Executive Committee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be construed to imply that either
party shall [ * ].
Section 8.5 Determination of Marketing Profit and Loss. Within [ * ] days following the end
of each of the [ * ] of each Contract Year and [ * ] days following the end of the [ * ] of each
Contract Year, Bayer shall determine and allocate Co-Promotion Marketing Profit or Loss, according
to the Joint Profit and Loss Statement to be approved by the Executive Committee under Section 8.2,
by subtracting from Collaboration Revenue the Allowable Co-Promotion Expenses.
The result of such calculation shall be deemed “Co-Promotion Marketing Profit or Loss.” In the
event of any dispute regarding these items, the matter shall be reviewed by the JFC for up to [ * ]
days in an attempt to resolve the matter. In the event the JFC cannot resolve the issue within
such time period, either party shall be entitled to submit the issue for resolution pursuant to
Article 25 of the Collaboration Agreement.
Section 8.6 Allocation of Marketing Profit and Loss and Related Payments.
(a) The Co-Promotion Marketing Profit or Loss, as the case may be, shall be divided equally
between Bayer and Onyx.
(b) If there is a Co-Promotion Marketing Profit for such quarter, then Bayer shall make
payment to Onyx within [ * ] days of the end of each quarter and within [ * ] days of the end of
each Contract Year so that each party will receive an equal share of the Co-Promotion Marketing
Profit for such quarter, after giving effect to the Co-Promotion Net Sales invoiced by Bayer, any
US Sublicense Revenue, and the Allowable Co-Promotion Expenses borne by each party. By way of
example, if in a particular calendar quarter there was a Co-Promotion Marketing Profit of [ * ],
and during such quarter Onyx incurred Allowable Co-Promotion Expense of [ * ], the balancing
payment pursuant to this Section 8.6(b) would be a payment by [ * ] which represents reimbursement
of Onyx’s Allowable Co-Promotion Expense plus Onyx’s fifty percent share (50%) of the Co-Promotion
Marketing Profit.
(c) If there is a Co-Promotion Marketing Loss for such quarter, then one party shall make a
payment to the other party within [ * ] days of the end of each quarter and within [ * ] days of
the end of each Contract Year so that each party will bear an equal share of the Co-Promotion
Marketing Loss for such quarter after giving effect to the Co-Promotion Net Sales invoiced by
Bayer, any US Sublicense Revenues, and the Allowable Co-Promotion Expenses borne by each party. By
way of example, if in a particular calendar quarter there was a Co-Promotion Marketing Loss of [ *
], and during such quarter Onyx incurred Allowable Co-Promotion Expenses of [ * ], the balancing
payment pursuant to this Section 8.6(c) would be a payment by [ * ], which represents Onyx’s fifty
percent (50%) share of the Co-Promotion Marketing Loss, less reimbursement of Onyx’s Allowable
Co-Promotion Expenses.

Collaboration Agreement, within [ * ] days after the end of the relevant calendar quarter, Bayer
shall be entitled to receive a special distribution from Onyx as reimbursement for Development
Payments made by Bayer to Onyx under the Collaboration Agreement. The amount of such special
distribution, including the mechanics of its calculation and payment, shall be governed by Section
16.3 of the Collaboration Agreement; provided, however, that a) Marketing Profit
(as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement) shall be calculated instead on
the basis of Co-Promotion Marketing Profit or Loss of Co-Promotion Collaboration Product in the
United States (as determined under this Agreement) [ * ], shall still apply. Bayer shall be
entitled to offset any payment due Onyx under Section 8.6 of this Agreement against any Development
Payment due from Onyx under Section 16.3 of the Collaboration Agreement.

Committee, following review and deliberation, cannot agree upon the relevant Budget prior to [ * ]

achieved and shall [ * ] for which agreement was not achieved, except that the parties shall [ * ]

in this Agreement shall be construed to affect the parties’ respective rights and obligations set
forth in Article 23 of the Collaboration Agreement. The tax characterization, procedures,

Section 10.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence as of the Co-Promotion

shall continue in effect until the first to occur of the following: (i) the date that Co-Promotion
Collaboration Products are no longer sold by either party in the United States due to a permanent
product withdrawal or recall or a voluntary decision by the parties to abandon the Co-Promotion of
the Co-Promotion Collaboration Products in the United States, or (ii) the effective date of any
termination of the Collaboration Agreement under Article 24 thereof (the “Term”).
Section 10.2 Breaches (General).
(a) If either party (the “Breaching Party”) shall have committed a breach of this Agreement,
the other party (the “Notifying Party”) shall provide written notice of such breach to the
Breaching Party. For all allegations of breach other than an allegation of Material Breach (as
defined below in Section 10.3), the parties hereby agree that they shall seek to resolve the matter
during the notice and cure period provided in Section 10.2(b) and may thereafter invoke other
remedies available to it in law or equity as provided for in Section 12.4 below and in Article 25
of the Collaboration Agreement.
(b) Upon receipt of a notice of breach other than a Material Breach, the alleged Breaching
Party shall have [ * ] days within which to cure such breach following receipt of such notice;
provided, however, if the breach is capable of being cured but cannot be reasonably cured in such [
* ]-day period, then the alleged Breaching Party shall have such additional time as necessary to
cure the breach if the alleged Breaching Party (i) during such [ *]-day

period has submitted a plan that, if successfully carried out, would be effective in
curing such breach, and has commenced its execution of such plan, and (ii) diligently pursues such
plan thereafter. If the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of the Notifying Party during
the foregoing cure period, then the Notifying Party may invoke the provisions of Article 25 of the
Collaboration Agreement with respect to claims for damages, attorneys’ fees and court costs and
requests for equitable relief, but the Notifying Party shall have no right to terminate this
Agreement for such breach.
(c) The Notifying Party may, at its discretion, resort to the dispute resolution mechanisms of
Article 25 of the Collaboration Agreement, and may invoke all available remedies in law or equity
other than termination of this Agreement, without invoking the mechanisms of Section 10.3.
Section 10.3 Allegations of Material Breach.
(a) The parties intend that this Agreement shall survive breaches not constituting Material
Breaches, and shall not be terminable for breaches unless the breach in question: (i) [ * ]; or
(ii) [ * ] (each, a “Material Breach”). In the event there is a dispute as to whether a Material
Breach has occurred, this Agreement shall survive pending a determination pursuant to Article 25 of
the Collaboration Agreement that a Material Breach has occurred.
(b) If a party believes that a Material Breach has occurred (or will occur in the event such
breach is determined to exist), it shall give written notice to the Breaching Party of the nature
of the breach and the reason the Notifying Party believes it is a Material Breach. The alleged
Breaching Party shall then have a period of [ * ] days following receipt of such notice in which to
cure the breach; provided, however, if the Material Breach is capable of being cured but cannot be
reasonably cured in such [ * ]-day period, then the alleged Breaching Party shall have such
additional time as necessary to cure the breach if the alleged Breaching Party (i) during such [ *
]-period has submitted a plan that, if successfully carried out, would be effective in curing such
Material Breach, and has commenced its execution of such plan, and (ii) diligently pursues such
plan thereafter. Any such notice of alleged Material Breach by the Notifying Party shall include a
reasonably detailed description of all relevant facts and circumstances demonstrating, supporting
and/or relating to each such alleged Material Breach by the Breaching Party.
(c) If the alleged Material Breach is not cured within the cure period specified in Section
10.3(b), the Notifying Party may give notice of termination (“Notice of Termination For Material
Breach”). If the Breaching Party agrees that a Material Breach has occurred and was not cured
within the cure period, then the Parties shall proceed to terminate this Agreement. If the
Breaching Party does not agree that a Material Breach has occurred and was not cured within the
cure period, then this Agreement shall survive, and the parties shall continue to perform their
obligations hereunder, until the issue of whether there has been an uncured Material Breach by the
Breaching Party is resolved in accordance with Article 25 of the Collaboration Agreement. In lieu
of bringing a separate action, either party may elect to petition the court under Article 25 of the
Collaboration Agreement for an advance declaration that a

28
breach, if found, constitutes a Material Breach hereunder, and the parties agree to waive any
procedural objection to such declaratory petition and action by the relevant court.
(d) If the Notifying Party gives Notice of Termination For Material Breach, and it is later
determined by a court pursuant to Article 25 of the Collaboration Agreement that in fact there has
not been an uncured Material Breach by the Breaching Party, then this Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect.
Section 10.4 Termination of Collaboration Agreement. This Agreement shall automatically
terminate, without notice to or from any party, upon any termination of the Collaboration Agreement
under any of the conditions set forth therein; provided however, if there is a
dispute as to whether a party has the right to terminate the Collaboration Agreement, such dispute
shall be resolved in the same manner as any other claim of material breach thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties expressly agree that Section
24.4 of the Collaboration Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
Section 10.5 Effects of Termination.
(a) Neither the termination nor expiration of this Agreement shall release or operate to
discharge either party from any liability or obligation that may have accrued prior to such
termination or expiration. Any termination of this Agreement as provided herein shall not be an
exclusive remedy but shall be in addition to any remedies whatsoever that may be available to the
terminating party.
(b) Notwithstanding the giving of any notice of termination pursuant to this Article X, each
party shall continue to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement at all times until the
effective date of any such termination.
(c) In the event of any termination of this Agreement in conformity with its terms, the
termination shall have following effect:

(ii) | [ * ] |
Section 10.6 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the
parties in Article I, Article IX, Section 10.5, Section 10.6 and Articles XI through XVI hereof,
and all provisions relating to Confidential Information shall survive any expiration or termination
of this Agreement. In addition, any provision of this Agreement that, either from the express
language or the context thereof, is intended to survive any termination or expiration of this
Agreement shall survive any such expiration or termination.

misconduct or willful violation of Applicable Laws of any Bayer Indemnified Party.
(b) Bayer shall give Onyx prompt written notice of any Claim for which it seeks to be
indemnified under this Section 12.1, but the omission of such notice shall not relieve Onyx from

respect to any Claim unless:

unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(d) In the event of the institution of any Claim by a Third Party against Bayer or any of its
Affiliates arising out of the alleged violation by Onyx of any [ * ], Onyx shall defend, indemnify

and direct damages as a result thereof. Bayer shall have no obligation under this Section 12.2
with respect to any Claim unless:
(i) Bayer is granted full authority and control over the defense, including, without

under this Section 12.2. Any settlement of the Claim that would admit liability on the part of any
Onyx Indemnified Party, or that would involve any relief (including the payment of money damages),
shall be subject to Onyx’s prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
(d) In the event of the institution of any Claim by a Third Party against Onyx or any of its

Section 12.3 Product Liability Claims.
(a) Bayer shall be solely responsible for all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or relating
to all Claims of Third Parties for personal injury, death or other Co-Promotion Collaboration
Product liability, and all associated Indemnifiable Losses, to the extent Onyx can establish that
such personal injury, death or other Co-Promotion Collaboration Product liability and all
associated Indemnifiable Losses were caused by (i) Bayer’s negligent acts or omissions, or willful
misconduct (including, without limitation, any willful breach of this Agreement), or (ii) the
manufacturing, marketing, promotion or other commercialization of the Co-Promotion Collaboration
Product by Bayer in a manner that is unlawful or inconsistent with the approved Co-Promotion
Collaboration Product labeling for such Co-Promotion Collaboration Product; provided, however, that
in no event shall Bayer be liable hereunder to the extent any such Claim arises out of Bayer’s
promotion of the Co-Promotion Collaboration Product in accordance with approved Co-Promotion
Collaboration Product labels and such Claim is based on a theory of failure to warn.
(b) Onyx shall be solely responsible for all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or relating
to all Claims of Third Parties for personal injury, death or other Co-Promotion Collaboration
Product liability, and all associated Indemnifiable Losses, to the extent Bayer can establish that

associated Indemnifiable Losses were caused by (i) Onyx’s negligent acts or omissions, or willful
misconduct (including, without limitation, any willful breach of this Agreement), or (ii) the
marketing, promotion or other commercialization of the Co-Promotion Collaboration Product by Onyx
in a manner that is unlawful or inconsistent with the approved Co-Promotion Collaboration Product
labeling for such Co-Promotion Collaboration Product; provided, however, that in no event shall
Onyx be liable hereunder to the extent any such Claim arises out of Onyx’s promotion of the
Co-Promotion Collaboration Product in accordance with approved

Co-Promotion Collaboration Product labels and such Claim is based on a theory of failure to
warn.
(c) In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 12.2, Bayer shall defend, indemnify
and hold harmless each of the Onyx Indemnified Parties from and against all Claims of Third Parties
for personal injury, death or other Co-Promotion Collaboration Product liability, and all
associated Indemnifiable Losses, for which Bayer is responsible under Section 12.3(a).
(d) In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 12.1, Onyx shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless each of the Bayer Indemnified Parties from and against all Claims of Third Parties
for personal injury, death or other Co-Promotion Collaboration Product liability, and all
associated Indemnifiable Losses, for which Onyx is responsible under Section 12.3(b).
(e) Each of Bayer and Onyx shall give the other prompt written notice of any Claims within the
scope of Sections 12.3(c) or 12.3(d) (each a “Product Liability Claim”), but the omission of such
notice shall not relieve any party from its obligations under this Section 12.3, except to the
extent the other party can establish actual prejudice and direct damages as a result thereof. With
respect to each Product Liability Claim, the party who is responsible for indemnifying the other
party against such Product Liability Claim pursuant to Section 12.3(c) or Section 12.3(d), as
applicable, shall assume the lead role in the defense of such Product Liability Claim (the
“Controlling Party”). The Controlling Party shall consult with the other party on all material
aspects of the defense, including, without limitation, settlement, of such Product Liability Claim,
and the other party shall have a full opportunity to participate in decision-making with respect to
the strategy of such defense, and both parties shall cooperate fully with each other in connection
therewith. The non-defending party shall also have the right to participate in the defense of any
Product Liability Claim, utilizing attorneys of its choice, at its own expense. In furtherance of
the parties’ cooperation, the Controlling Party will consult with the other party regarding
strategic decisions, including, without limitation, the retention of counsel and defense of each
Product Liability Claim. The Controlling Party will otherwise keep the other party fully informed
of the status and progress of the defense and any settlement discussions concerning the Product
Liability Claim. The settlement of a Product Liability Claim that would admit liability on the
part of any party or its Affiliates, that would involve any relief other than the payment of money
damages within a budget previously agreed to by the parties, or that would not include a full and
unconditional release of the parties subject thereto shall be subject to the prior written approval
of such parties, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(f) Losses arising out of or relating to Claims of Third Parties for personal injury, death or
other Co-Promotion Collaboration Product liabilities that are not covered by Sections 12.3(a) or
12.3(b) (such as Losses arising from a failure to warn) shall be shared by the parties as Allowable
Co-Promotion Expenses (or, in the event of any termination of this Agreement under Sections 7.4(d)
or 10.5(c)(i) or (ii) hereof, deducted by the party paying the royalties or payments described
thereunder).

Section 12.4 Direct Claims.
(a) Any Claim made directly by a party (the “Asserting Party”) against a Breaching Party
following the date hereof on account of Losses that do not result from a Claim of a Third Party but
do result from or arise out of a breach by the Breaching Party of its representations and
warranties or covenants under this Agreement (a “Direct Claim”) may be asserted at any time prior
to the expiration of the statute of limitations related to such Claim, by giving the Breaching
Party written notice thereof. Such notice by the Asserting Party will describe the basis of the
Direct Claim (including reasonable detail of the particulars of the alleged breach) and will
indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of Losses that have been or may be
sustained by the Asserting Party. Thereafter, the Asserting Party shall deliver to the Breaching
Party, as promptly as reasonably practicable, such materials as the Asserting Party reasonably
believes provides the underlying support for the Direct Claim; it being understood that in no event
will the Asserting Party be required to provide information which is subject to attorney-client
privilege or other applicable privilege or that is the subject of a written obligation of
confidentiality to a Third Party in existence at the time of the Asserting Party’s Claim. The
Breaching Party shall respond in writing to a Direct Claim within [ * ] calendar days of receipt of
the Asserting Party’s notice. If the Breaching Party does not so respond within such [ * ] day
period, the Breaching Party will be deemed to have rejected such Direct Claim. If the Breaching
Party rejects such Claim, in whole or in part, or is deemed to have rejected such Direct Claim, the
Asserting Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Asserting Party on
the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
failure by a party to give timely notice or response or to include any specified information in any
notice or response as provided in this Section 12.4 shall not relieve any other party from its
obligations hereunder, except to the extent the other party can establish actual prejudice and
direct damages as a result thereof.
(b) In no event will Bayer be entitled to recover Losses arising out of Direct Claims from
Onyx or any of its Affiliates arising out of a breach by Onyx or any of its Affiliates of any of
its representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement until [ * ] amount of
all Claims for Losses under this Section 12.4 for breaches of representations and warranties or
covenants [ * ], in which event Onyx will be liable to the full extent of such Losses.
(c) In no event will Onyx be entitled to recover Losses arising out of Direct Claims from
Bayer or any of its Affiliates arising out of a breach by Bayer or any of its Affiliates of any of
its representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement until [ * ] amount of
all Claims for Losses under this Section 12.4 for breaches of representations and warranties or
covenants [ * ], in which event Bayer will be liable to the full extent of such Losses.
(d) The parties hereby agree that, unless resulting from a party’s fraudulent behavior, the
sole and exclusive remedies available to an Asserting Party arising out of a Direct Claim shall be
such remedies available under the law of contracts. The parties further agree that neither Onyx
nor Bayer shall be entitled to pursue, and hereby expressly waive, any and all rights that may
otherwise be available under the law of torts.

* ] years after the expiration of this Agreement or the earlier termination of this Agreement,

product liability insurance (including any self-insured arrangements) in amounts, respectively,
which are reasonable and customary in the pharmaceutical industry in the United States for
companies of comparable size and activities at the respective place of business of such party.
Such product liability insurance or self-insured arrangements shall insure against all liability,
including, without limitation, personal injury, physical injury, or property damage arising out of
the manufacture, sale, distribution, or marketing of the Co-Promotion Collaboration Products. Each
party shall provide to the other, upon request of the other party, a certificate of insurance
verifying the existence of such insurance.
Section 12.6 Limitation of Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION CONTAINED HEREIN, [
* ], IN NO EVENT SHALL BAYER, ON THE ONE HAND, OR ONYX, ON THE OTHER HAND, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER

ARISING FROM CLAIMS BROUGHT BY [ * ]. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FOREGOING SENTENCES SHALL NEITHER
(A) LIMIT THE OBLIGATIONS OF BAYER, ON THE ONE HAND, OR ONYX, ON THE OTHER HAND, TO INDEMNIFY THE
OTHER FROM AND AGAINST THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER THIS ARTICLE XII, NOR (B) AFFECT EITHER PARTY’S
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTIONS 4.1(b) AND 5.1(b) OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 12.7 Disclaimer of Warranties. Except as expressly set forth in Article XIII of this
Agreement, no party has made, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as, a warranty or
representation (a) that any Co-Promotion Collaboration Products imported, sold, offered for sale,
manufactured or otherwise disposed of under this Agreement are or will be free from infringement of
patents, copyrights, trademarks, industrial design or other intellectual property rights of any
Third Party, or (b) regarding the effectiveness, value, prospects for success (whether financial,
regulatory or otherwise), safety, non-toxicity, or patentability of the Co-Promotion Collaboration
Products or related technology or any information or results provided by any party pursuant to this
Agreement. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE COLLABORATION AGREEMENT, EACH
PARTY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, WAIVES, RELEASES, AND RENOUNCES ANY CAUSE OF ACTION BASED ON ANY
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW,
BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF

entering into this Agreement have, assert or acquire any right, title or interest in or to any

Section 16.8 Public Announcements. During the Term, each party (the “Publishing Party”) shall
submit to the other party (the “Non-Publishing Party”) for review and approval all proposed press
releases, public filings with the SEC, academic, scientific and medical publications and public
presentations relating to the Co-Promotion Collaboration Product or the terms of this Agreement.
Such review and approval shall be conducted for the purposes of preserving intellectual property
protection and the confidentiality of trade secrets and business terms contained in this Agreement
and determining whether any portion of the proposed publication or presentation containing the
Confidential Information of the Non-Publishing Party should be modified or deleted, and (in the
case of a disclosure that Onyx wishes to make) to determine whether such disclosure is in the best
interests of the parties in connection with the promotion of the Co-Promotion Collaboration Product
(such determination to be made in Bayer’s reasonable discretion). Written copies of such proposed
publications and presentations (other than press releases or SEC filings) shall be submitted to the
Non-Publishing Party no later than [ * ] days before submission for publication or presentation.
Subject to Applicable Laws, written copies of proposed press releases and SEC filings containing
information regarding the Co-Promotion Collaboration Product or this Agreement shall be submitted

party is required to file a Form 8-K describing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby, written copies of the Form 8-K shall be submitted to the Non-Publishing Party no later than
[ * ] before filing, together with a form of the Agreement intended to be filed and a copy of the
confidential treatment request to be submitted with such filing. The Publishing Party shall seek
confidential treatment of Confidential Information which may be contained in the Agreement, as
shall be mutually determined between the parties, and shall use its best efforts to obtain
confidential treatment thereof. The Publishing Party shall promptly notify the Non-Publishing
Party of any determination made by the SEC with respect to such confidential treatment request.
The Non-Publishing Party shall provide its comments, if any, and (if it so chooses) its approval
within (a) [ * ], in the case of a press release or SEC filings, and (b) [ * ] of its receipt of
any other written copy. With respect to matters other than press releases or SEC filings, the
review period may be extended for an additional [ * ] days in the event the Non-Publishing Party
can demonstrate reasonable need for such extension. This period may be further extended by mutual
written agreement of the parties. Onyx and Bayer will each comply with standard academic practice
regarding authorship of scientific publications and recognition of contribution of other parties in
any publications.
Section 16.9 Counterparts. This Agreement shall become binding when any one or more
counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of each of the
parties hereto. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall

together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

to remedy it promptly. The party affected shall give prompt notice of any such cause to the other
party. The party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations
hereunder as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled and the party
receiving notice shall be similarly excused from its respective obligations which it is thereby
disabled from performing; provided, however, that such affected party commences and
continues to take reasonable and diligent actions to cure such cause.
Section 16.11 Interpretation. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that: (a) each party
and its representatives have reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and
have contributed to its preparation; and (b) the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be
