2.1.2 Amendments to Section 6.1. Effective upon, and subject to the occurrence of, the ***, the text of Section 6.1 of the Immunomedics Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
“6.1 New Indications.
6.1.1 New Indications; Relevant New Indications.
(a) Should either Party wish to amend the Development Plan to include an additional Agreed Indication (in addition to the SLE Indication) it shall make a proposal in writing to the AGC. Such proposal shall identify the relevant indication (each a “New Indication”) and shall include all information (including a draft Development Plan for such New Indication) in such Party’s possession and Control that is reasonably required by the other Party to evaluate: (i) *** for pursuing Development of the Licensed Compound in such New Indication; and (ii) *** the Development of the Licensed Compound in any Agreed Indication (the “Development Factors”). *** The AGC shall have a reasonable period of time (to be not less than *** calendar days from receipt of such relevant information as a reasonably prudent person would otherwise need in order to assess the Development Factors from the Party making the proposal) to determine whether or not (x) the proposed New Indication should be an Agreed Indication or (y) whether further investigation, including clinical studies, of the potential of such proposed New Indication to become an Agreed Indication is warranted. If the AGC concludes that further study is warranted then, pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 6.1, such study should be undertaken and the matter will be resubmitted to the AGC upon completion of any such further study. If the AGC decides that the proposed New Indication should be an Agreed Indication, such New Indication shall be deemed to be an Agreed Indication from the date of such decision. Once a New Indication becomes an Agreed Indication, UCB *** will submit a proposed Development Plan for such Agreed Indication to the AGC as soon as practicable (to be not less than *** calendar days from the decision unless an extension is reasonably required). For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.1, UCB *** shall secure AGC approval of a given indication as an Agreed Indication hereunder before any Development or Commercialization of the Licensed Compound and Licensed Products for such indication pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.1.1 (a), the Parties agree that promptly, and in any event not later than *** calendar days after the ***, the Parties shall cause members of their respective scientific and marketing groups to meet with representatives of *** to discuss the scientific and commercial merit of developing the Licensed Compound for any of the following indications: ***, in order to assist UCB *** in evaluating each such New Indication in light of

Immunomedics may, no later than *** calendar days ***, add *** additional proposed indications, provided, however, that such addition shall be by written notice containing a scientific rationale for such addition. UCB *** shall fully and fairly consider the input of Immunomedics and its representatives, including any clinical experts who may be invited to attend and shall, without being arbitrary and capricious, consider, regardless of whether or not clinical data exists, whether an assessment of the Development Factors reasonably recommends a clinical study be undertaken with respect to such indications. If in connection with such evaluation, UCB *** that another indication should be evaluated for Development hereunder, UCB may, with Immunomedics advice and consent, substitute any such indication for one of those enumerated in this Section 6.1.1(b).
(c) No later than *** months ***, UCB will select *** indication discussed pursuant to Section 6.1.1 (b) (which ***) for further study and analysis (each a “Relevant New Indication”) and will provide to Immunomedics a copy of a proposed protocol for a clinical pilot study (a “Relevant New Indication Study”) for such Relevant New Indication(s) (provided that in the case such indication is ***, such Relevant New Indication Study shall be an appropriate exploratory Phase II study in light of the Phase II study already conducted with respect to the Licensed Compound for ***), and such Relevant New Indication Study(ies) will be commenced by UCB within *** after the ***. Any Relevant New Indication Study performed pursuant to this Section 6.1.1 will not require approval of the AGC.
(d) If following completion of the Relevant New indication Study, UCB *** that, in light of the Development Factors, the Relevant New Indication should become an Agreed Indication, UCB shall make an appropriate proposal to such effect to the AGC in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1.1 (a) and shall vote in favor of making such Relevant New Indication an Agreed Indication. If following the completion of the Relevant New Indication Study, UCB *** that the Relevant New Indication should not become an Agreed Indication, UCB will provide Immunomedics with a reasonably detailed written explanation as to the reasons underlying such determination.
6.1.2 Each determination by UCB *** as to whether and to what extent a proposed New Indication should be the subject of further study or if any New Indication or Relevant New Indication should be an Agreed Indication, shall not be arbitrary or capricious and shall, subject to the next sentence, be based upon the Development Factors. Without limiting the foregoing, for the purposes of this Section 6.1, when evaluating the Development Factors, including whether or not there is a reasonable scientific and commercial basis to pursue or not pursue Development of the Licensed Compound or the Licensed Products in any New Indication, including any Relevant New Indication, UCB shall be entitled to take into account all reasonable relevant factors, including, without limitation (1) ***; (2) ***; (3) ***; (4) ***; (5) ***; and (6) ***.
