Once per Calendar Year, ImmunoGen shall have the right to engage an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing and reasonably acceptable to sanofi-aventis, which shall have the right to examine in confidence the relevant books and records of sanofi-aventis and its respective Affiliates and Sublicensees as may be reasonably necessary to determine and/or verify the amount of royalty payments due hereunder. Such examination shall be conducted, and sanofi-aventis shall make its records available, during normal business hours, after at least [***] ([***]) days prior written notice to sanofi-aventis, as applicable, and shall take place at the facility(ies) where such records are maintained. Each such examination shall be limited to pertinent books and records for any year ending not more than [***] ([***]) months prior to the date of request;provided, that, ImmunoGen shall not be permitted to audit the same period of time more than once. Before permitting such independent accounting firm to have access to such books and records, sanofi-aventis may require such independent accounting firm and its personnel involved in such audit, to sign a confidentiality agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of the Parties) as to any Confidential Information which is to be provided to such accounting firm or to which such accounting firm will have access, while conducting the audit under this paragraph.

14
each Party a written report stating whether the royalty reports submitted and royalties paid are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. Such accounting firm may not reveal to ImmunoGen any information learned in the course of such audit other than the amount of any such discrepancies. ImmunoGen agrees to hold in strict confidence all information disclosed to it, except to the extent necessary for ImmunoGen to enforce its rights under this Agreement or if disclosure is required by law. In the event there was an underpayment by sanofi-aventis hereunder, sanofi-aventis shall promptly (but in no event later than [***] ([***]) days after such Party’s receipt of the independent auditor’s report so correctly concluding) make payment to ImmunoGen of any shortfall. In the event that there was an overpayment by sanofi-aventis hereunder, ImmunoGen shall promptly (but in no event later than [***] ([***]) days after ImmunoGen’s receipt of the independent auditor’s report so correctly concluding) refund to sanofi-aventis the excess amount. ImmunoGen shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underreporting by sanofi-aventis of more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the aggregate amount of royalties in any twelve (12) month period, in which case, sanofi-aventis shall reimburse ImmunoGen for all costs incurred by ImmunoGen in connection with such examination and audit.
4.5.6 Overdue Payments. All royalty payments not made within the time period set forth in Section 4.5.4, and all milestone payments not made within the time period specified in Section 4.4.1, shall bear interest at a rate of one percent (1%) per month from the due date until paid in full or, if less, the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Laws.

Any payments made by sanofi-aventis to ImmunoGen under this Agreement shall be free and clear of any taxes, duties, levies, fees or charges, and such amounts shall be reduced by the amount required to be paid or withheld pursuant to any applicable law, including, but not limited to, United States federal, state or local tax law (“Withholding Taxes”). Any such Withholding Taxes required by law to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by, ImmunoGen. Sanofi-aventis, as applicable, shall submit to ImmunoGen reasonable proof of payment of the Withholding Taxes, together with an accounting of the calculations of such taxes, within thirty (30) days after such Withholding Taxes are remitted to the proper authority. The Parties will cooperate reasonably in completing and filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable tax laws or under any other applicable law in connection with the making of any required tax payment or withholding payment, or in connection with any claim to a refund of or credit for any such payment.
4.5.8 Foreign Currency Exchange. With respect to Net Sales invoiced or expenses incurred in U.S. dollars, the Net Sales or expense amounts and the amounts due to ImmunoGen hereunder shall be expressed in U.S. dollars. With respect to Net Sales invoiced or expenses incurred in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Net Sales or expense shall be expressed in the domestic currency of the entity making the sale or incurring the expense, together with the U.S. dollar equivalent, calculated using the arithmetic average of the spot rates on the last Business Day of each month of the Calendar Quarter in which the Net Sales were made or the expense was incurred. The “closing mid-point rates” found in the “Dollar spot
15
forward against the Dollar” table published by The Financial Times, or any other publication as agreed to by the Parties, shall be used as the source of spot rates to calculate the average as defined in the preceding sentence.

(b) Each Party shall have the right to participate, and be represented by counsel that it selects, in any legal proceedings or other action instituted under this Section 6.3.1 by the other Party. If a Party with the right to initiate legal proceedings under Section 6.3.1 to eliminate an Infringement lacks standing to do so and the other Party has standing to initiate such legal proceedings, then the Party with standing shall initiate such legal proceedings at the request and expense of the other Party.
(c) In any action, suit or proceeding instituted under this Section 6.3.1, the Parties shall cooperate with and assist each other in all reasonable respects.

6.3.2 Defense of Claims. In the event that any action, suit or proceeding is brought against either Party or any Affiliate or Sublicensee of either Party alleging the infringement of the Technology or Patent Rights of a Third Party by reason of the use by sanofi-aventis of the Licensed Technology or Licensed Patent Rights to Develop or Commercialize any Licensed Product: (a)[***] shall have the obligation to defend such action, suit or proceeding at its sole expense; (b) [***] shall have the right to separate counsel at its own expense in any such action, suit or proceeding; and (c) the Parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in any such action, suit or proceeding. Each Party shall provide the other Party with prompt written notice of the commencement of any such suit, action or proceeding, or of any allegation of infringement of which such Party becomes aware, and shall promptly furnish the other Party with a copy of each communication relating to the alleged infringement that is received by such Party.

7.2 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by either Party as follows:
7.2.1 Termination for Breach. Except as set forth herein, either Party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to the other Party, for a breach by the other Party of any material term of this Agreement that remains uncured [***] ([***]) days ([***] ([***]) days in the event that the breach is a failure of sanofi-aventis to make any payment required hereunder) after the non-breaching Party first gives written notice of such breach to the other Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (a) if the asserted breach is cured or shown to be non-existent within the applicable cure period, the notice of breach hereunder shall be deemed automatically withdrawn; and (b) a material breach by a party shall not give rise to the termination right under this Section 7.2.1 to the extent such material breach arises from a Force Majeure event as described in Section 10.11; provided, that the Party breaching this Agreement shall have the burden of demonstrating the occurrence of a Force Majeure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.2.1 at a time when such Party has committed a breach of a material term of this Agreement which remains uncured.
