herein as "Permitted Deductions.") In the case of any sale of
Licensed Products for consideration other than cash, Net Sales shall
be calculated on the fair market value of the consideration
received.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Licensed Product is sold as a
Combination Product (a "Combination Sale"), the Net Sales for such
8
REDACTED COPY
Combination Product shall be the portion of such Combination Sale
allocable to the Licensed Product determined as follows:
Except as provided below, the Net Sales amount for a Combination
Sale shall equal the gross amount invoiced for the Combination Sale,
reduced by the Permitted Deductions (the "Net Combination Sale
Amount"), multiplied by the fraction A/(A+B), where:
A is the invoice price, in the country where such Combination
Sale occurs, of the Licensed Product contained in the
Combination Product, if sold as a separate product in such
country by Wyeth or its sublicensees, as the case may be, and
B is the aggregate of the invoice price or prices, in such
country, of products which collectively contain as their
respective sole active ingredient such other pharmaceutically
active compounds or substances, as the case may be, included
in the Combination Product, if sold separately in such country
by Wyeth or its sublicensees, as applicable.
In the event that Wyeth or its sublicensees sell the Licensed
Product included in a Combination Product as a separate product in a
country, but do not separately sell all of the other
pharmaceutically active compounds or substances, as the case may be,
included in such Combination Product in such country, the
calculation of the Net Sales amount for such Combination Sale shall
be determined by multiplying the Net Combination Sale Amount by the
fraction A/C where:
A is the average wholesale price, in such country, charged by
Wyeth or its sublicensees, as the case may be, for the
Licensed Product contained in such Combination Product, when
sold as a separate product by Wyeth or its sublicensees, as
applicable, and C is the average wholesale price, in such
country, charged by Wyeth or its sublicensees, as applicable,
for the entire Combination Product.
In the event that Wyeth or its sublicensees do not sell the Licensed
Product included in a Combination Product as a separate product in a
country where such Combination Sale occurs, but do separately sell
products which collectively contain as their respective sole active
ingredient all of the other pharmaceutically active compounds or
substances, as the case may be, included in the Combination Product
in such country, the calculation of Net Sales resulting from such
Combination Sale shall be determined by multiplying the Net
Combination Sale Amount by the fraction (C-D)/C, where:
C is the average wholesale price, in such country, charged by
Wyeth or its sublicensees, as the case may be, for the entire
9
REDACTED COPY
Combination Product, and D is the average wholesale price
charged by Wyeth or its sublicensees, as the case may be, for
the products which collectively contain as their sole active
ingredient such other pharmaceutically active compounds or
substances, as the case may be, included in the Combination
Product.
Where active ingredient portions of a Combination Product are sold
separately as other products but in different dosage strengths than
are in the Combination Product, the calculation of the Net Sales
amount for such Combination Product shall be based on appropriate
proration of the amounts of each active ingredient component
included therein when applying the formulas set forth above.
Where the calculation of Net Sales resulting from a Combination Sale
in a country cannot be determined by any of the foregoing methods,
the calculation of Net Sales for such Combination Sale shall be that
portion of the Net Combination Sale Amount reasonably determined in
good faith by the Parties as properly reflecting the value of the
Licensed Product included in the Combination Product.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Sales shall not include any
reimbursement received by Wyeth or its sublicensees in respect of
the use of a Licensed Product in a country solely as part of a
clinical trial prior to the receipt of marketing authorization
required to commence commercial sales of such Licensed Product in
such country.

agreement that would constitute a breach of Wyeth's obligations
under this Agreement, Wyeth will promptly inform Trubion in writing
and shall take such action which in Wyeth's reasonable business
judgment will address such default; provided, however, any such
uncured material breach by such sublicensee of an obligation that

provided under Section 9.5 hereof.
2.5. DIRECT LICENSES TO AFFILIATES. Wyeth may at any time request and

license will be exercised; provided, however, that Trubion shall
have no obligation to enter into any such direct license agreement
if the effect of entering into such agreement (and continuing as a
Party to this Agreement) would be to increase the level of
obligations owed by Trubion, decrease the obligations owed to
Trubion or the enforceability thereof, or decrease the consideration
owed to Trubion relative to the obligations owed by or to, or the
consideration owed to, Trubion under this Agreement, had such direct
license(s) not been granted. In countries where the validity of such
direct license agreement requires prior government approval or
registration, such direct license agreement shall not become binding
between the parties thereto until such approval or registration is
granted, which approval or registration shall be obtained by Wyeth.
All costs of making such direct license agreement(s), including
Trubion's reasonable attorneys' fees, under this Section 2.5 shall
be borne solely by Wyeth.

REDACTED COPY
all of which constitute "embodiments" of intellectual property
pursuant to Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (xi) all
other embodiments of such intellectual property in Trubion's
possession or control. Recognizing that the embodiments described
above may be useful or necessary to Trubion in connection with its
continued operation of its business, and that a Third Party may also
have a right of access to such embodiment under Section 365(n) of
the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, where there is
a fixed or limited quantity of any biological material or other
tangible item of such embodiment described above, Wyeth shall be
entitled to a pro rata portion thereof. Trubion agrees not to
interfere with Wyeth's exercise under the Bankruptcy Code of rights
and licenses to intellectual property licensed hereunder and
embodiments thereof in accordance with this Agreement and agrees to
use Commercially Reasonable Efforts (short of any obligation of
Trubion to incur expenses in connection therewith) to assist Wyeth
to obtain such intellectual property and embodiments thereof in the
possession or control of Third Parties as reasonably necessary or
useful for Wyeth to exercise such rights and licenses in accordance
with this Agreement; provided, however, that Trubion's Commercially
Reasonable Efforts for purposes of this Section 2.7 shall not be
deemed to include an obligation to make payments to Third Parties to
obtain such intellectual property rights and embodiments thereof.
The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that reimbursement payments
pursuant to Sections 3.6 and 4.6 and all other payments by Wyeth to
Trubion hereunder other than royalty payments pursuant to Section
5.4 and Additional Research and Development Expense Payments under
Section 5.3 do not constitute royalties within the meaning of
Bankruptcy Code Section 365(n) or relate to licenses of intellectual
property hereunder.
2.8. NO IMPLIED RIGHTS. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
neither Party shall be deemed by estoppel or implication to have
granted the other Party any license or other right with respect to
any intellectual property of such Party.
3. RESEARCH PROGRAM.
3.1. SCOPE AND CONDUCT OF THE RESEARCH PROGRAM. Under the terms and
conditions set forth herein, Trubion and Wyeth shall collaborate
through one or more joint project teams in the conduct of a
pre-clinical research program to identify and evaluate (a) SMIPs
directed against Licensed Targets and (b) Licensed Products,
including CD20 Products, *** and Other Products (collectively, the
"Research Program"). Such activities shall include, but not be
limited to, the following:
***
Subject to and in accordance with the Research Plan and the
Development Plan (to the extent applicable), the JRC shall determine
the appropriate
21
REDACTED COPY
activities to be undertaken by Trubion and Wyeth; provided, however,
that, as of the Signing Date, the Parties anticipate that Trubion
shall conduct activity (i) above (with input from Wyeth), Wyeth
shall conduct activities (v), (vi) and (vii) above, and Trubion and
Wyeth shall jointly conduct activities (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.
The Research Program shall be conducted in accordance with the
Research Plan, and each Party shall use its Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to perform all of its obligations under the Research Program
in accordance with the Research Plan and current good laboratory
practices.
3.2. DESIGNATION OF TARGETS.
3.2.1. TARGET CANDIDATES. Within thirty (30) days after the
Effective Date, Wyeth shall provide Trubion's Vice President,
Legal Affairs & Chief Patent Counsel with a list of up to ***
Targets (each a "Target Candidate") from which Wyeth shall
have the exclusive right, until ***, to designate up to ***
Wyeth Targets, in accordance with the following provisions
(subject to Wyeth's right under Section 3.2.3 to designate as
Wyeth Targets up to *** Targets (of the *** Targets that
Wyeth may designate as Wyeth Targets) that are not Target
Candidates at the time of selection). In the case of protein
Targets that are Target Candidates, Wyeth shall designate
each such Target Candidate on the list by its GenBank
accession number provided by the National Center for
Biotechnology Information ("NCBI") (including any
nomenclature describing such Target Candidate that is
provided therewith) or, if an NCBI GenBank accession number
is not available for such Target Candidate, by its nucleotide
and amino acid sequences. For the avoidance of doubt, Wyeth
may not designate as Target Candidates any Targets that are
Excluded Targets. Subject to the following procedures,
Trubion shall not undertake any research or Development
activities beyond Milestone One (as defined on Exhibit 3.2.1
attached hereto) of Trubion's internal product development
process, or propose to enter into or enter into any agreement
with any Third Party with respect to any SMIP directed
against any Target Candidate or with respect to any Licensed
Product containing such a SMIP, unless and until such Target
Candidate becomes a Released Target, Excluded Target or
Provisional Excluded Target. Trubion, through its Legal
Department, shall maintain a copy of the list of Target
Candidates in a secure location. Trubion shall take
reasonable measures and implement reasonable procedures to
ensure that only its inside attorneys who are employees of
its Legal Department and its outside patent counsel
(collectively, "Trubion Lawyers") have knowledge of and
access to Wyeth's Target Candidate list. The Target Candidate
list shall be
22
REDACTED COPY
considered Confidential Information of Wyeth, and except as
expressly permitted under this Section 3.2 or otherwise under
this Agreement, Trubion shall not use or disclose the Target
Candidate list or the information set forth therein to any of
its Affiliates, to any Third Party, or to any employees,
officers or agents of Trubion other than Trubion Lawyers. For
so long as a Target remains a Target Candidate, Trubion,
through its Legal Department, shall implement reasonable
procedures to maintain records of all Third Party inquiries
to Trubion and Trubion's responses to same, relating to the
Target Candidate list made pursuant to this Section 3.2. The
Trubion Legal Department shall also maintain the list of
Released Targets, Excluded Targets and Provisional Excluded
Targets in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.2.2
and 3.2.4. In the event of a bona fide dispute arising under
this Agreement relating to the Target selection process
described in this Section 3.2, Trubion shall provide to an
independent Third Party selected by Wyeth and reasonably
acceptable to Trubion access to the lists of Target
Candidates, Released Targets, Excluded Targets and
Provisional Excluded Targets and records and processes
related thereto (to the extent relevant to the bona fide
dispute) maintained by Trubion in accordance with this
Section 3.2. Such independent Third Party may only
communicate to Wyeth whether or not the Target selection
process was properly performed by Trubion's Lawyers.
3.2.2. RELEASED TARGETS. On or before the ***, Wyeth, by written
notice to Trubion's Vice President, Legal Affairs & Chief
Patent Counsel, shall identify *** Target Candidates from the
list delivered pursuant to Section 3.2.1 (inclusive of any
Target Candidates that have become Released Targets during
such period pursuant to Section 3.2.4 hereof), which from the
date of such identification shall cease to be Target
Candidates (each, a "Released Target"). At the time that a
Target Candidate becomes a Released Target, Trubion, subject
to Section 2.8, shall be free to undertake research and
Development activities independent of obligations under this
Agreement, and to enter into discussions or an agreement with
a Third Party, with respect to SMIPs directed against any
such Released Target or any other activities in connection
with such Released Target. On or before the ***, Wyeth, by
written notice to Trubion, shall identify such additional
Target Candidates from the list delivered pursuant to Section
3.2.1, if any, as additional Released Targets, such that
there are no more than *** Target Candidates remaining on the
list delivered pursuant to Section 3.2.1 (less the number of
Wyeth Targets that were Target Candidates at the time of
selection as a Wyeth Target(s) pursuant to Section 3.2.3),
which
23
REDACTED COPY
from the date of such identification shall cease to be Target
Candidates and, thereafter each shall also become a Released
Target. At the end of the Research Term, all remaining Target
Candidates, if any, shall become Released Targets.
3.2.3. WYETH TARGETS. Wyeth Targets shall be designated only from
either (a) Target Candidates that have not become Released
Targets, or (b) any other Target (including a Released Target
that is or becomes available, as described below) that is not
then an Excluded Target or a Provisional Excluded Target;
provided, however, that no more than *** of the Targets
designated by Wyeth as Wyeth Targets may be Targets that are
not Target Candidates at the time of selection. Subject to
the foregoing sentence, Wyeth shall designate: (y) *** Target
Candidates or other Targets as Wyeth Targets on or before
***; and (z) up to *** Target Candidates or other Targets
(inclusive of those designated as Wyeth Targets during the
***) as Wyeth Targets on or before the second anniversary of
the Effective Date; provided, however, if Wyeth does not
designate a total of *** Wyeth Targets on or before such ***,
then the lesser number of Wyeth Targets so designated shall
be the total number of Wyeth Targets under this Agreement
unless Wyeth extends the Research Program, in which case
Wyeth may designate, before ***, one or more additional Wyeth
Targets (up to a cumulative *** in the aggregate). For the
avoidance of doubt and subject to the following sentence,
Wyeth may designate only up to a *** Wyeth Targets from the
Effective Date of this Agreement through the end of the
Research Program (even if extended). During the term of the
Research Program, Wyeth shall have the right to ***; provided
that *** (a "Replacement Target") must be ***. In the event
that Wyeth nominates as a Wyeth Target (whether as a proposed
initial designation of a Wyeth Target or as a replacement
designation as a Wyeth Target) a Target that is not then a
Target Candidate, Trubion's Legal Department, within ten (10)
business days after receiving written notice of such
nomination, shall determine and advise Wyeth in writing
whether such Target is an Excluded Target or a Provisional
Excluded Target, as described below (and shall indicate
whether such Target is an Excluded Target or is a Provisional
Excluded Target). If such Target is an Excluded Target or a
Provisional Excluded Target, it shall not be eligible to be
considered a Wyeth Target. If a proposed Replacement Target
is not an Excluded Target or a Provisional Excluded Target,
then the JRC shall either approve or disapprove designation
of such proposed Replacement Target as a Wyeth Target;
provided that the original Wyeth Target that Wyeth proposes
to replace shall be
24
REDACTED COPY
automatically deemed a Released Target upon the JRC's
approval of the designation of the Replacement Target.
3.2.4. EXCLUDED TARGETS. Excluded Targets are not eligible to be
Wyeth Targets for so long as they remain Excluded Targets.
The Targets deemed "Excluded Targets" as of the Effective
Date are set forth in Exhibit 3.2.4 attached hereto. Trubion
may add additional Targets as Excluded Targets or Provisional
Excluded Targets (which may be selected from Released Targets
and other Targets, but would not include any Wyeth Targets or
any Target Candidate that has not become a Released Target)
in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) During the period when ***, and upon the written
request of a potential Third Party collaborator and/or
licensee of Trubion pertaining to the identification,
generation and/or Development of SMIPs directed against
a Target or Targets, Trubion's Legal Department shall
promptly determine whether or not any of such Targets
is a Wyeth Target.
(b) With respect to any Target newly submitted by a Party
to Trubion's Legal Department hereunder, Trubion's
Lawyers will determine whether such submitted Target
*** Licensed Targets, Target Candidates, Released
Targets, Excluded Targets and Provisional Excluded
Targets available to Trubion's Lawyers (each a
"Previously Deposited Protein"). By way of example
only, *** Should Wyeth designate a Target that is not a
protein, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith
the procedure for identifying and testing whether a
subsequent proposed non-protein Target is the "same as"
such designated non-protein Target for purposes of this
Section 3.2.
(c) If Trubion's Legal Department determines, in accordance
with Section 3.2.4(b) above, that any such Target is a
Wyeth Target, Trubion shall not proceed with such
potential Third Party collaboration or license with
respect to such Target. If any of such Targets is not a
Wyeth Target or a Target Candidate, such Target shall
automatically be deemed a "Provisional Excluded
Target". If such Target is a Target Candidate, Trubion
shall notify Wyeth in writing of Trubion's request that
a Target Candidate be recategorized as a Released
Target, in order for Trubion to be able to enter
substantive negotiations with such Third Party
regarding such Target that is a Target Candidate (i.e.,
Trubion shall "Put" such Target Candidate
25
REDACTED COPY
to Wyeth). Trubion shall have no obligation to notify
Wyeth of the identity of such Third Party or the purpose
of the proposed collaboration or license. From the date
that Trubion "Puts" such Target Candidate to Wyeth,
Wyeth shall have *** with respect to such Puts made to
Wyeth prior to ***, and shall have *** with respect to
such Puts made thereafter, to notify Trubion in writing
whether Wyeth designates such Target Candidate as a
Wyeth Target or recategorizes such Target Candidate as a
Released Target. If Wyeth fails to notify Trubion within
such *** period, respectively, then such Target
Candidate shall automatically be deemed a Released
Target. Any such Released Targets shall be deemed to be
Provisional Excluded Targets.
(d) If Trubion and such potential Third Party collaborator
and/or licensee do not enter into a definitive agreement
regarding such Provisional Excluded Target within ***
after the date that such Target is deemed a Provisional
Excluded Target (such *** being subject to a ***
extension by Trubion, if Trubion declares, in writing,
to Wyeth that at least one draft definitive agreement
has been exchanged between Trubion and such potential
Third Party collaborator and/or licensee), thereafter
such Provisional Excluded Target would revert to being a
Released Target. If Trubion and such potential
Third-Party collaborator and/or licensee enter into a
definitive agreement within the time period provided
above, such Provisional Excluded Target shall be deemed
an Excluded Target.
(e) During the period when ***, if Trubion itself identifies
internally a Target that has progressed to Milestone One
(as defined in Exhibit 3.2.1 attached hereto) of
Trubion's internal product development process,
Trubion's Legal Department shall promptly determine
whether or not such Target is a Target Candidate. If
such Target is not a Target Candidate, such Target shall
be deemed an Excluded Target. If Trubion thereafter
abandons work on such Excluded Target, Trubion shall
notify Wyeth in writing that Trubion has abandoned work
on such Excluded Target and such Excluded Target shall
thereafter be deemed a Released Target. If such Target
is a Target Candidate, Trubion may Put such Target
Candidate to Wyeth. From the date that Trubion Puts such
Target Candidate to Wyeth, Wyeth shall have *** with
respect to such Puts made to Wyeth prior to ***, and
shall have *** with respect to such Puts made
thereafter, to notify Trubion in writing whether
26
REDACTED COPY
Wyeth designates such Target Candidate as a Wyeth Target
or recategorizes such Target Candidate as a Released
Target. If Wyeth fails to notify Trubion within such
***, respectively, then such Target Candidate shall
automatically be deemed a Released Target. Any such
Released Target shall be deemed to be Excluded Target.
If Trubion thereafter abandons work on any such Excluded
Target, Trubion shall notify Wyeth in writing that
Trubion has abandoned work on such Excluded Target and
such Excluded Target shall thereafter be deemed a
Released Target.
(f) With respect to the Puts described in (c) and (e) above,
Trubion shall not be permitted to Put more than ***
Target Candidates to Wyeth during the first *** of the
Research Program.
3.3. TERM AND TERMINATION OF THE RESEARCH PROGRAM.
3.3.1. RESEARCH TERM. The term of the Research Program (the
"Research Term") shall begin on the Effective Date and shall
continue until *** (the "Initial Term"), subject to extension
as described below. At Wyeth's option (exercisable by
providing written notice to Trubion no later than *** prior
to the end of the Initial Term of the Research Program or any
extension year thereof), the Research Term may be extended
for up to *** additional *** periods and, thereafter, shall
be renewable annually only upon mutual written agreement of
the Parties.
3.3.2. TERMINATION OF RESEARCH PROGRAM BY WYETH. Commencing on the
first anniversary of the Effective Date, Wyeth shall have the
right to terminate the Research Program, at will, at any
time, in its entirety, upon one (1) year prior written notice
to Trubion; provided that Trubion shall have no obligation
after the effective termination date to complete any Research
Program activities in connection with any Trubion Target,
Wyeth Target, SMIP or Licensed Product. Such termination of
the Research Program shall not constitute termination of this
Agreement and shall not affect the Parties' rights and
obligations under this Agreement other than those relating to
the Research Program.
27
REDACTED COPY
3.4. JOINT RESEARCH COMMITTEE.
3.4.1. COMPOSITION. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective
Date, the Parties shall establish a Joint Research Committee
(the "JRC") to oversee the Research Program. The JRC will be
in effect only during the Research Term. The JRC shall be
composed of three (3) representatives from each Party. Each
Party may replace any of its representatives at any time upon
written notice to the other Party. From time to time, the JRC
may establish subcommittees to oversee particular projects or
activities, and such subcommittees shall be constituted as
the JRC decides.
3.4.2. RESPONSIBILITIES. The JRC shall be responsible for
establishing, reviewing and recommending modifications and
updates to the Research Plan, including the Research Budget,
in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof, monitoring and
reporting to the Parties on activities conducted pursuant to
the Research Plan, and for such other functions as agreed by
the Parties.
3.4.3. MEETINGS. The JRC shall meet as soon as practicable after it
is established by the Parties and, thereafter, at such
additional times as the Parties deem appropriate, not less
frequently than quarterly. Each Party shall designate one of
its JRC members as its "JRC Liaison" to co-chair meetings,
prepare and circulate JRC meeting agendas and JRC meeting
minutes. The meetings of the JRC shall be held in the United
States, and shall alternate between the Parties' business
locations or as otherwise decided by the JRC. JRC meetings
may be conducted in person, by telephone or by
videoconference. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to
cause its representatives to attend the meetings of the JRC.
If a representative of a Party is unable to attend a meeting,
such Party may designate an alternate member to attend such
meeting in place of the absent member.
3.4.4. VOTING. Decisions of the JRC shall be made by unanimous
consent, with each Party having one vote. The JRC may act
without a meeting if an action by unanimous written consent
is signed by each Party's JRC Liaison.
3.4.5. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. If the JRC is unable to reach agreement
on a matter, the matter may be referred, at the request of
either Party, for resolution through good faith discussions
between Wyeth's Executive Vice President of Discovery
Research and Trubion's Senior Vice President of Research and
Development or their respective designees. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event the JRC cannot promptly resolve a
disagreement or a
28
REDACTED COPY
voting deadlock regarding the Research Program, Wyeth's
Executive Vice President of Discovery Research shall have the
right to cast a tie-breaking vote to resolve any such
disagreement or voting deadlock, such right and tie-breaking
authority being subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
3.4.6. MINUTES. The JRC shall keep accurate and complete minutes of
its meetings that record all proposals and recommendations
made, and all actions and decisions taken. The JRC minutes
shall not be effective until approved in writing by each
Party's JRC Liaison. All records of the JRC shall be
available at all times to each Party.
3.5. RESEARCH PLAN. The Parties shall use their Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to develop and approve a complete Research Plan (including a
corresponding Research Budget) within sixty (60) days of the
Effective Date. The Parties shall ensure that the Research Plan is
consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the
Research Plan shall not impose obligations on either Party that are
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Research Plan
shall set forth generally (a) the activities to be undertaken by the
Parties under the Research Program consistent with the terms of
Section 3.1, (b) the utilization of *** Trubion FTEs in conducting
such activities, (c) the anticipated schedule on which such
activities are to be conducted, (d) the desired deliverables to be
provided by each Party with respect to each Licensed Target that is
the subject of the Research Program, and (e) the annual budget for
non-ordinary expenses (as described in Section 3.6.1 below) to be
incurred by Trubion under the Research Program (the "Research
Budget"). The JRC shall review the Research Plan, including the
Research Budget, on at least an annual basis and submit any proposed
modifications or updates to the Parties for review and approval; any
such modifications or updates shall not become effective until
approved in writing by an authorized officer of each of the Parties.
The Parties shall review and consider any such proposed
modifications or updates on an expeditious basis. The Parties shall
promptly amend the Research Plan from time to time to address the
performance of the Research Program as it relates to any Licensed
Targets designated by Wyeth in accordance with Section 3.2 above.
3.6. FUNDING OF THE RESEARCH PROGRAM.
3.6.1. RESEARCH FUNDING. During each year of the Research Term (as
it may be extended), Wyeth shall pay Trubion *** per year for
services performed in accordance with the Research Plan.
Trubion shall commit to the Research Program ten (10) FTEs per
year to provide services in furtherance of the Research
Program in accordance with the Research Plan. For the
avoidance of doubt, Trubion may, at its sole expense and
29
REDACTED COPY
discretion, devote more than *** FTEs from time to time to
provide services in furtherance of the Research Program. The
*** in research funding described above shall be increased
automatically once per calendar year by the percentage change
in the U.S. Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers over
the previous year; provided, however, that no increase shall
be effective prior to January 1, 2007. ***. Trubion shall
provide to Wyeth, prior to the first day of each Calendar
Quarter, a forecast of such expenses (by major expense
category, on an accrual basis) reimbursable under this
Section 3.6.1 which Trubion expects to incur during such
Calendar Quarter and the subsequent three Calendar Quarters,
in each case shown by month. Other than the foregoing amounts
and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
each Party shall be solely responsible for its costs and
expenses incurred in performing its obligations under the
Research Program.
3.6.2. REIMBURSEMENT PAYMENTS. Reimbursement to be made to Trubion
by Wyeth pursuant to Section 3.6.1 will be made pursuant to
invoices submitted by Trubion to Wyeth no more often than
once with respect to any Calendar Quarter, within thirty (30)
days of the end of such Calendar Quarter. Payment shall be
due within forty-five (45) days after Wyeth receives such an
invoice from Trubion. Each invoice must be accompanied by
supporting documentation sufficiently demonstrating the
expense so paid on a cash basis (such as receipts for
out-of-pocket expenses and other written documentation
reasonably acceptable to Wyeth) and by a certificate executed
by Trubion's VP, Finance & Administration, of the number of
FTEs used by Trubion in such Calendar Quarter in performing
Trubion's obligations under the Research Program. Except as
approved in writing in advance by Wyeth, Wyeth shall not be
obligated to reimburse Trubion for amounts in excess of the
applicable budgeted amounts in the Research Budget.
3.6.3. RECORDS AND AUDITS. During the Research Term, Trubion shall
keep books and accounts of record in connection with the
expenses reimbursable under Section 3.6.1 hereof in
accordance with GAAP and in sufficient detail to permit
accurate determination of all figures necessary for
verification of costs to be reimbursed hereunder. Trubion
shall maintain such cost records for a period of at least
three (3) years after the end of the calendar year in which
they were generated in order to enable audit of such records
as set forth below. Upon thirty (30) days prior written
notice from Wyeth, Trubion shall permit an independent
certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized
standing selected by Wyeth and reasonably acceptable to
Trubion, to examine, at Wyeth's sole expense, the relevant
books and records of Trubion
30
REDACTED COPY
as may be reasonably necessary to verify the amount of
reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses incurred. An examination
by Wyeth under this Section 3.6.3 shall occur not more than
once in any calendar year and shall be limited to the
pertinent books and records for any calendar year ending not
more than thirty six (36) months before the date of the
request. The accounting firm shall be provided access to such
books and records at Trubion's facility(ies) where such books
and records are normally kept and such examination shall be
conducted during Trubion's normal business hours. Trubion may
require the accounting firm to sign a standard non-disclosure
agreement before providing the accounting firm access to
Trubion's facilities or records. The accounting firm shall
provide both Trubion and Wyeth a written report disclosing
whether the certificates and invoices submitted by Trubion
under Section 3.6.2 are correct or incorrect and the specific
details concerning any discrepancies. No other information
shall be provided to Wyeth. If the accounting firm determines
that the aggregate amount of out-of-pocket expenses actually
incurred by Trubion was less than the amount reimbursed by
Wyeth during the period covered by the audit, Trubion shall
refund the excess payments to Wyeth within thirty (30) days of
its receipt of the auditor's report so concluding (or, if
later, within fifteen (15) days after resolution of a bona
fide objection by Trubion to the findings in such report). If
the amount to be refunded exceeds more than ten percent (10%)
of the amount that was properly payable, Trubion shall
reimburse Wyeth for the cost of the audit. All information of
Trubion which is subject to review under this Section 3.6.3
shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of Trubion
subject to the provisions of Article 7, and such Confidential
Information shall not be disclosed to any Third Party or used
for any purpose other than verifying the information provided
by Trubion to Wyeth; provided, however, that such Confidential
Information may be disclosed to Third Parties only to the
extent necessary to enforce Wyeth's rights under this
Agreement, as may be necessary for Wyeth to exercise its
rights under this Agreement, or as otherwise expressly
permitted under this Agreement.
3.7. DATA AND DELIVERABLES. During the Research Term, each Party will use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly provide to the other
Party the data or desired deliverables specified in the Research
Plan, including, without limitation, (a) SMIPs, Recombinant DNA, and
Cell Lines, to the extent related to Licensed Targets and/or
Licensed Products, (b) activity evaluation of the items listed in
(a) obtained from in vitro or in vivo assays, pharmacology studies,
process development data, drug product formulation data, toxicology
and safety studies, and evaluation of chemotherapy conjugates, but
only to the extent and in the manner that items listed in (a)
31
REDACTED COPY
and (b) are set forth in the Research Plan. Each Party shall also
disclose to the other Party in writing all data, information,
inventions, techniques and discoveries (whether patentable or not)
arising out of the conduct of the Research Program. Disclosure of
all such aforementioned inventions and discoveries shall be
delivered to the other Party in a manner mutually agreed upon by the
Joint Patent Committee. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, each Party shall have the right to use any data or
information generated under the Research Program for its permitted
activities under the Research Program and this Agreement
(collectively, "Research Program Data"). TRUBION MAKES NO
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT IT WILL
BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DISCOVER, DEVELOP OR DELIVER ANY SMIP
DIRECTED AGAINST A LICENSED TARGET OR ANY LICENSED PRODUCT.
3.8. ALLIANCE MANAGERS. Each Party shall designate a single alliance
manager, who shall perform such duties relating to the day-to-day
worldwide coordination of the collaboration contemplated by this
Agreement as are determined by the JRC and the JDC. Such alliance
managers shall have experience and knowledge appropriate for
managers with such project management responsibilities. Such
alliance managers may attend, as non-voting members, any meetings of
the committees contemplated by this Agreement as deemed fit by such
committees. Each Party may change its designated alliance manager
from time to time upon notice to the other Party.
4. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING, COMMERCIALIZATION AND REGULATORY
MATTERS.
4.1. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
Articles 2 and 3 hereof and in this Article 4, Wyeth shall have the
sole authority, at its expense, for the Development of Licensed
Products, including the initiation and conduct of clinical trials.
Wyeth shall be responsible for the Development of and shall use its
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop Licensed Products
throughout the Territory where it is Commercially Reasonable to do
so (it being understood that Wyeth shall have the sole discretion to
select those countries in which it will conduct clinical studies of
Licensed Products and, when Commercially Reasonable to do so, to
delay or discontinue the Development of any Licensed Product
directed against a particular Licensed Target in favor of pursuing
Development of another Licensed Product directed against such
Licensed Target). When appropriate based on the data obtained during
Development, Wyeth shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
secure Regulatory Approval for Licensed Products in the Territory.
32
REDACTED COPY
4.2. TRANSFER OF PRODUCT DATA AND FILINGS. Upon Wyeth's reasonable
request and in consultation with the JDC from time to time during
the term of this Agreement and to the extent permitted by applicable
law, Trubion shall assign and transfer to Wyeth Trubion's entire
right, title and interest in and to any of the Product Data and
Filings pursuant to an instrument to such effect in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Wyeth and shall perform all
other actions reasonably requested by Wyeth to effect and confirm
such transfer. The Parties shall cooperate through the JDC to ensure
that assignment and transfer of Trubion's right, title and interest
in and to Product Data and Filings relating to CD20 Products is made
in a manner that does not impede Trubion's activities and
responsibilities under Section 4.6. After receipt of Wyeth's request
consistent with the foregoing, Trubion shall provide to Wyeth, at

activities, the matter
36
REDACTED COPY
shall be brought before the JDC for resolution. Wyeth shall prepare
the Development Plan with input and advice from Trubion through the
JPT. The Development Plan will define each Party's roles and
responsibilities, provide a mechanism to coordinate each Party's
and/or joint activities, and provide a process for monthly meetings
of the JPT to monitor and report on all activities of the Parties
conducted under the Development Plan. The Development Plan shall not
impose different or greater CD20 Product Development obligations on
Trubion than those specified in Section 4.6. The Development Plan
shall be updated annually by the JPT.
4.9. MANUFACTURING. Wyeth shall have the exclusive right to Manufacture

support and facilitation of Wyeth's efforts to Manufacture TRU-015
Products and to secure appropriate TRU-015 Product Manufacturing
arrangements with Third Parties. Such assistance shall be at no cost
to Wyeth; provided that Wyeth shall reimburse Trubion for all of its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related thereto. If applicable,
upon Wyeth's written request, Trubion shall assign or otherwise
transfer to Wyeth (to the extent allowable under such agreements)
its TRU-015 Product Manufacturing agreements with Third Parties.
4.10. COMMERCIALIZATION. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Wyeth shall have the sole authority and the exclusive

Trubion giving written notice to Wyeth no later than *** after the
date of the first BLA filing with the FDA for the first Niche
Indication for the first CD20 Product (or such longer time as the
Parties may mutually agree). Promptly after Trubion's exercise of
such option, the Parties shall negotiate, in good faith, a
definitive Co-Promotion Agreement, which shall require Trubion and
Wyeth to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Co-Promote such CD20
Product. Such Co-Promotion Agreement shall contain customary
provisions relating to relative sales force efforts, responsibility
for sales calls, sales force training, promotional materials and
samples, detailing and the number and qualifications of sales force
personnel (including medical science liaisons) that will be devoted
to such Co-Promotion activities. The Parties hereby agree, inter

their sales efforts. As compensation for sales force support
provided by Trubion in connection with such Co-Promotion, Wyeth
shall pay Trubion a fixed fee (to be set forth in the definitive
Co-Promotion Agreement) for each Product sales detail performed by
members of Trubion's sales force in accordance with Wyeth's
marketing plan for such CD20 Product. Trubion will not have the
right to contract out for or otherwise delegate to any Third Party
any responsibility for such sales force support. Trubion's sales
force activities shall be conducted in accordance with Wyeth's
policies and the marketing and promotion plan for the CD20 Product.
4.12. CO-PROMOTION COMMITTEE. If Trubion exercises its Co-Promotion option
with respect to a CD20 Product in accordance with Section 4.11
hereof, a Co-Promotion Committee shall be formed by the Parties
within thirty (30) days after such exercise. The Co-Promotion
Committee shall oversee all aspects of Co-Promotion-related
activities and reasonably relevant aspects of Commercialization of
such CD20 Product during the Co-Promotion Period, and shall include

5.4.2. CD20 PRODUCT ROYALTIES.
(a) Except as provided in Sections 5.4.2(b) and 5.4.2(c)
below, Wyeth shall pay to Trubion royalties in the
amount of the Marginal Royalty Rates (set forth below)
of the aggregate Net Sales collectively obtained by
Wyeth and its sublicensees from the sale of CD20
Products in the Territory during each calendar year in
the applicable Royalty Period:

Less than *** ***
From *** ***
From *** ***
From *** ***
Greater than *** ***
Each Marginal Royalty Rate set forth in the table above
shall apply only to that portion of the annual Net Sales
that falls within the indicated range. By way of example
only, if the aggregate Net Sales of CD20 Products during
a calendar year equaled ***, the total royalty for CD20
Products during such year would equal the specified
Marginal Royalty Rate (***) of the first *** of Net
Sales, plus the specified Marginal Royalty Rate (***) of
the next *** of Net Sales, plus the specified Marginal
Royalty Rate (***) of the remaining *** of Net Sales
(that is, ***, which would equal ***).
For purposes of this Section 5.4.2, the "CD20 Effective
Royalty Rate" for a particular time period shall mean
the weighted average, expressed as a percentage, of the
Marginal Royalty Rates that would apply under the
provisions of this Section 5.4.2(a) to the aggregate
CD20 Product Net Sales in the Territory during such time
period (without regard, for these purposes, to any
adjustments made under Sections 5.4.2(b) or 5.4.2(c)).
By way of example only, if the aggregate Net Sales of
CD20 Products in the Territory during a calendar year
equaled ***, the CD20 Effective Royalty Rate for such
calendar year would be calculated as follows: ((*** of
***) plus (*** of ***) plus (*** of ***)) divided by
***, expressed as a percentage, which would equal ***.
By way of further example only, if the aggregate Net
Sales of CD20 Products in the Territory during each of
the four Calendar Quarters

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4.2(c) below, in
the event that, at any time during the term of the
Product License, no issued Valid Claim is included
within the Trubion Patent Rights in a country where a
CD20 Product is sold (which claim, but for the licenses
granted hereunder to Wyeth, would be infringed by
Wyeth's or its sublicensees' Manufacture, use, sale,
offer for sale or import of such CD20 Product in such
country), Wyeth shall pay to Trubion royalties with
respect to such CD20 Product in such country during such
time period, in lieu of the royalties described in
Section 5.4.2(a), equal to the following amount: (i) the
CD20 Effective Royalty Rate of the aggregate Net Sales
obtained by Wyeth and its sublicensees from the sale of
such CD20 Product in such country during such time
period minus (ii) *** of the aggregate Net Sales
obtained by Wyeth and its sublicensees from the sale of
such CD20 Product in such country during such time

relevant time period were *** and the CD20 Effective
Royalty Rate (based on Net Sales of CD20 Products
throughout the Territory) for such time period were ***,
the royalties payable under this Section 5.4.2(b) on Net
Sales in such country would equal (i) ***of ***, (or
***), minus (ii) *** of ***, (or ***), which would equal
***. By way of further example only, if the aggregate
Net Sales of such a CD20 Product in such country during

the royalties payable under this Section 5.4.2(b) on Net
Sales in such country would equal (i) *** of ***, (or

***.
(c) In the event that at any time during the term of the
Product License: (i) no issued Valid Claim is included
within the Trubion Patent Rights in a country where a
CD20 Product is sold (which claim, but for the licenses
granted hereunder to Wyeth, would be infringed by
Wyeth's or its sublicensees' Manufacture, use, sale,
offer for sale or import of such CD20 Product in such
country), (ii) a product is sold by a Third Party in
such country, which product would, if sold by such Third
Party in the United
41
REDACTED COPY
States, infringe an issued Valid Claim included within
the Trubion Patent Rights in the United States, and
(iii) such product sold by the Third Party has a *** or
greater unit market share in such country (where the
market is defined as the sum of the unit sales of such
CD20 Product and of the product described in clause
(ii)), Wyeth shall pay to Trubion royalties with respect
to such CD20 Product in such country during such time
period, in lieu of the royalties described in Section
5.4.2(a) and Section 5.4.2(b), equal to the following
amount: (i) *** of (ii) the CD20 Effective Royalty Rate
of the aggregate Net Sales obtained by Wyeth and its

were ***, the royalties payable under this Section
5.4.2(c) would equal (i) *** of (ii) *** of ***, (or
***), which would equal ***.
5.4.3. ***.
(a) Except as provided in Sections 5.4.3(b) and 5.4.3(c)

Each Marginal Royalty Rate set forth in the table above
shall apply only to that portion of the annual Net Sales
for a particular *** that falls within the indicated
range. By way of example only, if the aggregate Net
Sales of a *** during a calendar year equaled ***, the
total royalty for such *** during such calendar year
would equal the specified Marginal Royalty Rate (***) of
the first *** of Net Sales, plus the specified Marginal
Royalty Rate *** of the next *** of Net Sales, plus the

shall mean the weighted average, expressed as a
percentage, of the Marginal Royalty Rates that would
apply under the provisions of this Section 5.4.3(a) to
the Net Sales in the Territory of such *** during such
time period (without regard, for these purposes, to any
adjustments made under Sections 5.4.3(b) or 5.4.3(c)).
By way of example only, if the Net Sales of a *** in the
Territory during a calendar year equaled***, the ***
Royalty Rate for such calendar year for such *** would
be calculated as follows: ((***) plus (***) plus (***))
divided by ***, expressed as a percentage, which would

Sales of such *** in the Territory during each of the
four Calendar Quarters of such calendar year were ***,

the *** Royalty Rates for each of the four Calendar
Quarters would be ***, respectively.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4.3(c) below, in
the event that, at any time during the term of the
Product License, no issued Valid Claim is included
within the Trubion Patent Rights in a country where a
*** is sold (which claim, but for the licenses granted
hereunder to Wyeth, would be infringed by Wyeth's or its
sublicensees' Manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or
import of such *** in such country), Wyeth shall pay to
Trubion royalties with respect to such *** in such
country during such time period, in lieu of the
royalties described in Section 5.4.3(a), equal to the
following amount: (i) the *** Royalty Rate for such ***

sale of each Other Product in the Territory during each
calendar year in the applicable Royalty Period.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4.4(c) below, in
the event that, at any time during the term of the
Product License, no issued Valid Claim is included
within the Trubion Patent Rights in a country where an
Other Product is sold (which claim, but for the licenses
granted hereunder to Wyeth, would be infringed by
Wyeth's or its sublicensees' Manufacture, use, sale,
offer for sale or import of such Other Product in such
country), Wyeth shall pay to Trubion, with respect to
such Other Product in such country during such time
period, in lieu of the royalty described in Section
5.4.4(a), a royalty of *** of the aggregate Net Sales
obtained by Wyeth and its sublicensees from the sale of
such Other Product in such country during such time
period.
(c) In the event that at any time during the term of the
Product License: (i) no issued Valid Claim is included
within the Trubion Patent Rights in any country where an
Other Product is sold (which claim, but for the licenses
granted hereunder to Wyeth, would be infringed by
Wyeth's or its sublicensees' Manufacture, use, sale,
offer for sale or import of such Other Product in such
country), (ii) a product is sold by a Third Party in
such country, which product would, if sold by such Third
Party in the United States, infringe an issued Valid
Claim included within the Trubion Patent Rights in the
United States, and (iii) such product sold by a Third
Party has a *** or greater unit market share in such
country (where the market is defined as the sum of the
unit sales of such Other Product and of the product
described in clause (ii)), Wyeth shall pay to Trubion,
with respect to such Other Product in such country
during such time period, in lieu of the royalties
described in Section 5.4.4(a) and Section 5.4.4(b), a
royalty of *** of the aggregate Net Sales obtained by
Wyeth and its sublicensees from the sale of such Other
Product in such country during such time period.
5.4.5. EXPIRATION OF ROYALTY PERIOD. After the expiration of the
Royalty Period for any Licensed Product in any country in the
Territory, no further royalties shall be payable in respect

with respect to such Licensed Product in such country shall
be fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free,
exclusive licenses.

5.4.6. ROYALTY ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) CERTAIN THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS. On a country-by-country
basis in a given calendar year, Wyeth shall deduct from
CD20 Product royalties otherwise payable to Trubion
under Section 5.4.2 *** of the aggregate amount of
royalties actually paid to Third Parties under
Additional Third Party Licenses with respect to the
Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of CD20
Products in such country in such calendar year;
provided, however, that (i) the amount of such deduction
shall not exceed *** of the amount of the CD20 Product
royalties otherwise payable to Trubion under Section
5.4.2 in a given calendar year and (ii) such deduction
shall not have the effect, under any circumstances, of
reducing the CD20 Product royalties payable under
Section 5.4.2 below *** of the aggregate Net Sales
obtained by Wyeth and its sublicensees from the sale of
CD20 Products in such country in a given calendar year
(before taking into account the operation of Sections
5.4.2(b) and 5.4.2(c)). On a country-by-country basis in
a given calendar year, Wyeth shall deduct from ***
royalties otherwise payable to Trubion under Section
5.4.3 *** of the aggregate amount of royalties actually
paid to Third Parties under Additional Third Party
Licenses with respect to the Development, Manufacture or
Commercialization of such *** in such country in such
calendar year; provided, however, that (i) the amount of
such deduction shall not exceed *** of the amount of the
*** royalties otherwise payable to Trubion under Section
5.4.3 in a given calendar year and (ii) such deduction
shall not have the effect, under any circumstances, of
reducing the *** royalties payable under Section 5.4.3
below *** of the aggregate Net Sales obtained by Wyeth
and its sublicensees from the sale of such *** in such
country in a given calendar year (before taking into
account the operation of Sections 5.4.3(b) and
5.4.3(c)). ***
(b) OTHER THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS. Wyeth shall be solely
responsible for all payment obligations related to ***.
Trubion shall be solely responsible for all payment
obligations related to ***.
5.5. REPORTS AND PAYMENTS.
5.5.1. CUMULATIVE ROYALTIES. The obligation to pay royalties under
Section 5.4 of this Agreement shall be imposed only once with
respect to a single unit of a Licensed Product, regardless of
how
46
REDACTED COPY
many Valid Claims included within the Trubion Technology
would, but for this Agreement, be infringed by the
Manufacture, use, import, offer for sale or sale of such
Licensed Product in the countr(y)ies of such Manufacture, use
or sale. For the avoidance of doubt, if a single Licensed
Product is both a CD20 Product and an Other Product, such
Licensed Product shall be deemed to be a CD20 Product for
purposes of the royalty obligations under Section 5.4. If a
single Licensed Product is both a *** and an Other Product,
such Licensed Product shall be deemed to be a *** for
purposes of the royalty obligations under Section 5.4.
5.5.2. ROYALTY STATEMENTS AND PAYMENTS. Within *** after the end of
each Calendar Quarter, Wyeth shall deliver to Trubion a
report setting forth for such Calendar Quarter the following
information, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and
country-by-country basis: (a) the gross sales amount (by
Wyeth and its sublicensees) for each category of Licensed
Product sold in the United States and the number of units of
Licensed Product sold in the United States and other
countries in the Territory, on a country-by-country basis;
(b) the Net Sales for each Licensed Product; (c) any
adjustments (including the basis therefor) made pursuant to
Sections 5.4.2(b), 5.4.2(c), 5.4.3(b), 5.4.3(c), 5.4.4(b),
5.4.4(c) or 5.4.6(a) to the royalty amount payable for the
sale of each Licensed Product, the applicable Marginal
Royalty Rates and the CD20 Effective Royalty Rate or ***
Royalty Rate (as the case may be) payable on the Net Sales,
and (d) the royalty amount due hereunder for the sale of each
Licensed Product. No such reports shall be due for any
Licensed Product before the First Commercial Sale of such
Licensed Product. The total royalty due for the sale of
Licensed Products during such Calendar Quarter shall be
remitted at the time such report is made.
5.5.3. TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. All payments due Trubion under this
Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding
for or on account of any tax unless such deduction or
withholding is required by applicable laws or regulations to
be assessed against Trubion. If Wyeth is so required to
deduct or withhold, Wyeth will (a) promptly notify Trubion of
such requirement, (b) pay to the relevant authorities the
full amount required to be deducted or withheld promptly upon
the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding
is required or receiving notice that such amount has been
assessed against Trubion, (c) promptly forward to Trubion an
official receipt (or certified copy) or other documentation
reasonably acceptable to Trubion evidencing such payment to
such authorities, and (d) otherwise reasonably cooperate with
Trubion in connection with
47
REDACTED COPY
Trubion's attempts to obtain favorable tax treatment and
credit therefor (where appropriate) in accordance with
applicable laws.
5.5.4. CURRENCY. All amounts payable and calculations hereunder
shall be in United States Dollars. As applicable, Net Sales
and any royalty deductions shall be translated into United
States dollars in accordance with Wyeth's customary and usual
translation procedures, consistently applied, which
procedures are in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles in the United States.
5.5.5. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO ROYALTIES. Trubion
acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement
(including, without limitation, any exhibits or attachments
hereto) shall be construed as representing an estimate or
projection of either (a) the number of Licensed Products that
will or may be successfully Developed or Commercialized or
(b) anticipated sales or the actual value of any Licensed
Product and that the figures set forth in Section 5.4 or
elsewhere in this Agreement or that have otherwise been
discussed by the Parties are merely intended to define
Wyeth's royalty obligations to Trubion in the event such
sales performance is achieved. WYETH MAKES NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT IT WILL BE ABLE
TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP OR COMMERCIALIZE ANY LICENSED PRODUCT
OR, IF COMMERCIALIZED, THAT IT WILL ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR
SALES LEVEL OF SUCH LICENSED PRODUCT(S).
5.5.6. INTEREST ON PAST DUE PAYMENTS. If either Party fails to pay
any payment due under this Agreement on or before the date
such payment is due, as provided in this Agreement, such late
payment shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, *** as reported from time to time in The Wall
Street Journal, effective for the first date on which payment
was delinquent and calculated on the number of days such
payment is overdue or, if such rate is not regularly
published, as published in such source as the Parties agree.
5.6. MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS; AUDITS.
5.6.1. RECORD KEEPING. Wyeth shall keep accurate books and accounts
of record in connection with the sale of Licensed Products,
in sufficient detail to permit accurate determination of all
figures necessary for verification of royalties and other
payments to be paid to Trubion hereunder. Wyeth shall keep
accurate records of its activities under this Agreement that
relate
48
REDACTED COPY
to the events with respect to which Additional Research and
Development Expense Payments may be made under Section 5.3
hereof. Wyeth shall maintain such records for a period of at
least three (3) years after the end of the calendar year in
which they were generated.
5.6.2. AUDITS. Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from
Trubion, Wyeth shall permit an independent certified public
accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by
Trubion and reasonably acceptable to Wyeth, to examine, at
Trubion's sole expense, the relevant books and records of
Wyeth as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy
of the reports submitted by Wyeth in accordance with Section
5.5 and the payment of royalties hereunder. An examination by
Trubion under this Section 5.6.2 shall occur not more than
once in any calendar year and shall be limited to the
pertinent books and records for any calendar year ending not
more than three (3) years before the date of the request. The
accounting firm shall be provided access to such books and
records at Wyeth's facility(ies) where such books and records
are normally kept and such examination shall be conducted
during Wyeth's normal business hours. Wyeth may require the
accounting firm to sign a standard non-disclosure agreement
before providing the accounting firm access to Wyeth's
facilities or records. Upon completion of the audit, the
accounting firm shall provide both Wyeth and Trubion a
written report disclosing whether the reports submitted by
Wyeth are correct or incorrect, whether the royalties paid
are correct or incorrect, and in each case, the specific
details concerning any discrepancies. No other information
shall be provided to Trubion.
5.6.3. UNDERPAYMENTS/OVERPAYMENTS. If such accounting firm concludes
that additional royalties were due to Trubion, Wyeth shall
pay to Trubion the additional royalties within thirty (30)
days of the date Wyeth receives such accountant's written
report so concluding. If such royalty underpayment exceeds
ten percent (10%) of the royalties that were to be paid to
Trubion, Wyeth also shall reimburse Trubion for the
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conducting the audit. If
such accounting firm concludes that Wyeth overpaid royalties
to Trubion, Trubion, within thirty (30) days of the date
Trubion receives such account's report so concluding, will
refund such overpayments to Wyeth less the reasonable
out-of-pocket costs incurred by Trubion in conducting the
audit.
5.6.4. CONFIDENTIALITY. All financial information of Wyeth which is
subject to review under this Section 5.6 shall be deemed to
be
49
REDACTED COPY
Wyeth's Confidential Information subject to the provisions of
Article 7 hereof, and Trubion shall not disclose such
Confidential Information to any Third Party or use such
Confidential Information for any purpose other than verifying
payments to be made by Wyeth to Trubion hereunder; provided,
however, that such Confidential Information may be disclosed
by Trubion to Third Parties only to the extent necessary to
enforce Trubion's rights under this Agreement.
6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
6.1. INVENTIONS; JOINT PATENT COMMITTEE.
6.1.1. OWNERSHIP AND INVENTORSHIP. A Party shall own all inventions
and Know-How made solely by employees of such Party, and
shall jointly own with the other Party any invention, whether
or not patentable, made jointly by employees of both Parties
(a "Joint Invention"), all Joint Patent Rights directed
thereto, and any Know-How made jointly by employees of both
Parties ("Joint Know-How"). All determinations of
inventorship under this Agreement shall be made in accordance
with United States patent law. Each Party shall disclose
promptly in writing to the other any Joint Inventions and any
candidate Joint Inventions of which it becomes aware. Subject
to (a) the grant of licenses to Wyeth under Section 2.1 and
to Trubion under Section 2.2, (b) the exclusivity provisions
of Section 2.3, and (c) the Parties' other rights and
obligations under this Agreement, each Party shall be free to
exploit (including to research, Develop, Manufacture,
Commercialize and enforce), either itself or through the
grant of licenses to Third Parties (which Third Party
licenses are further sublicensable), Joint Patent Rights and
Joint Know-How throughout the world without restriction,
without the need to obtain further consent from the other
Party, and without payment of any compensation to the other
Party.
6.1.2. SMIP IMPROVEMENTS. All SMIP Improvements made by Wyeth,
whether independently or jointly with Trubion, in the course
of performing Wyeth's obligations under this Agreement during
the term of the Agreement (each, a "Covered SMIP
Improvement") shall be promptly disclosed by Wyeth to
Trubion. Wyeth, subject to the rights and licenses granted by
Trubion to Wyeth hereunder, hereby grants to Trubion a
worldwide, royalty-free (other than as expressly set forth in
this Section 6.1.2), irrevocable, non-exclusive license (with
the right to sublicense), under Wyeth's rights to such
Covered SMIP Improvements, to practice, exploit and use such
Covered SMIP Improvements in connection with the research,
Manufacture, Development, Commercialization or use of SMIPs
50
REDACTED COPY
(***); provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that the
license granted to Trubion pursuant to this sentence shall not
be deemed to constitute or include a license with respect to
any underlying Wyeth technology or any Wyeth Technology
(including without limitation Manufacturing, delivery,
formulation and conjugation technology) other than Wyeth's
rights to such Covered SMIP Improvements. In the event, and to
the extent, that Wyeth is obligated to pay a Third Party any
royalties or other payments as a result of the licensing of a
Covered SMIP Improvement to Trubion pursuant to this Section
6.1.2 or as a result of Trubion's or its sublicensees'
(excluding Wyeth's) practice of such Covered SMIP Improvement,
the license by Wyeth to Trubion pursuant to this Section 6.1.2
with respect to such Covered SMIP Improvement shall be
conditioned on Trubion's continuing obligation to pay Wyeth
the amount of such royalties and other payments according to
the terms of the applicable agreement between Wyeth and such
Third Party. In the event that Trubion grants a sublicense to
any Third Party with respect to a Covered SMIP Improvement
that is not a Joint Invention (but rather was invented solely
by Wyeth), Trubion shall pay Wyeth a royalty of *** of the net
sales by such sublicensee (or its affiliates or sublicensees)
of any product that incorporates such Covered SMIP
Improvement. For purposes of the preceding sentence, "net
sales" shall be defined in a manner substantially similar to
the definition of "Net Sales" under this Agreement.
6.1.3. JOINT PATENT COMMITTEE.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT; MEETINGS; DECISIONS. Within thirty (30)
days after the Effective Date, the Parties shall
establish a Joint Patent Committee composed of at least
one (1) representative from each Party with experience
in the prosecution of biotechnology patents. The Joint
Patent Committee will have such duties and
responsibilities as are expressly assigned to it under
this Article 6. The Joint Patent Committee shall meet as
soon as practicable after it is established by the
Parties and, thereafter, at such additional times as the
Parties deem appropriate, not less frequently than
quarterly. The meetings of the Joint Patent Committee
shall alternate between the Parties' business locations
or as otherwise decided by the Joint Patent Committee;
provided that Joint Patent Committee meetings may be
conducted in person, by telephone or by videoconference.
Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to cause its
representative(s) to attend each Joint Patent Committee
meeting. Decisions of the Joint Patent Committee shall
be made by unanimous consent, with each
51
REDACTED COPY
Party having one vote. The Joint Patent Committee may
act without a meeting if an action by unanimous written
consent is signed by each committee member. If the Joint
Patent Committee is unable to reach agreement on a
matter for which it has decision-making authority
pursuant to Section 6.1.3(b), 6.2.1(c) or 6.2.2(c), the
matter may be referred, at the request of either Party,
for resolution by outside patent counsel mutually
selected by the Parties (wherein such outside patent
counsel shall be knowledgeable and experienced in the
subject matter of the matter so referred), and such
resolution shall be deemed the decision of the Joint
Patent Committee. Unless otherwise agreed by the
Parties, the patent counsel selected will not have
served as primary outside IP counsel to either Party
prior to being selected to resolve the Joint Patent
Committee disagreement. ***
(b) CATEGORY 1 COVERED SMIP IMPROVEMENTS AND CATEGORY 2
COVERED SMIP IMPROVEMENTS. Without limiting Wyeth's
obligation under Section 6.1.1 and Section 6.1.2 to
disclose promptly to Trubion any inventions and
candidate inventions made hereunder (including, without
limitation, any Covered SMIP Improvements), each Party
shall report on a quarterly basis to the Joint Patent
Committee whether any of its activities hereunder during
the prior Calendar Quarter involved a new Covered SMIP
Improvement. The Joint Patent Committee shall decide
whether a given Covered SMIP Improvement (i) is solely
applicable to SMIP coding regions (a "Category 1 Covered
SMIP Improvement"), or (ii) is not solely applicable to
SMIP coding regions (a "Category 2 Covered SMIP
Improvement"). ***.
6.2. PATENT RIGHTS.
6.2.1. FILING, PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PATENT RIGHTS.
(a) TRUBION PATENT RIGHTS.
(i) TRUBION PATENT RIGHTS. Trubion shall use its
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prepare,
file, prosecute and maintain, throughout the
Territory, all of the Trubion Patent Rights,
using patent counsel of Trubion's choice;
provided, however, that Trubion shall give
Wyeth before filing a reasonable opportunity
to review and comment upon the text of any
applications for Trubion Patent Rights to
the
52
REDACTED COPY
extent related to any Licensed Product, any
SMIPs directed against any Licensed Target,
or the Development, Manufacture, use or
Commercialization thereof (collectively,
"Product-Related Patent Rights"); and
provided further, however, that patent
counsel for patent applications for
Product-Related Patent Rights that are
prepared or filed on or after the Signing
Date and that do not rely on the priority
date of a patent or patent application filed
before the Signing Date will be mutually
agreed upon by the Parties. Trubion shall
reasonably consider and address Wyeth's
comments on patent applications included in
Product-Related Patent Rights. Trubion shall
consult with Wyeth with respect to such
patent applications, and shall supply Wyeth
with a copy of such patent applications as
filed, together with notice of each filing
date and serial number. Trubion shall also
keep Wyeth advised of the status of
prosecution of all such patent applications
included in the Product-Related Patent
Rights, and shall consult with Wyeth and
provide Wyeth with a reasonable opportunity
to comment on all correspondence received
from and all submissions to be made to any
government patent office or authority with
respect to any such patent application or
patent. Trubion shall reasonably consider
and address Wyeth's comments on such
correspondence and submissions. Each Party
shall be responsible for *** of Trubion's
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with preparing, filing,
prosecuting and maintaining such
Product-Related Patent Rights throughout the
Territory, including, but not limited to,
out-of-pocket expenses for inventorship
determinations and inventorship disputes
(other than between the Parties); provided,
however, that in the event Trubion grants a
license(s) in a given country or countries
to one or more Third Parties under any
patent application or patent that is
included in the Product-Related Patent
Rights, Wyeth shall be responsible for a pro
rata portion, based on a total number of
parties that includes Trubion, Wyeth and all
Third Party licensees under such patent
application or patent (e.g., if there are
two (2) Third Party licensees in addition to
Wyeth and Trubion, then Wyeth shall be
responsible for twenty-five
53
REDACTED COPY
percent (25%)), of Trubion's out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in a given country in
connection with preparing, filing,
prosecuting and maintaining such patent
application or patent. (As used in this
Article 6, "out-of-pocket expenses" shall be
deemed to include, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees.) Wyeth shall
reimburse Trubion on a quarterly basis
within *** of receiving an invoice
accompanied by supporting documentation
demonstrating the out-of-pocket expenses so
incurred. On an annual basis, during the
last Calendar Quarter of each year, Trubion
shall provide Wyeth with a good faith,
written estimate of the out-of-pocket
expenses reimbursable by Wyeth under this
Section 6.2.1(a) that Trubion expects to
incur in the following calendar year. In
addition, if Trubion elects not to file a
patent application on Trubion Know-How that,
if filed, would be a Product-Related Patent
Right, or to cease the prosecution and/or
maintenance of any Product-Related Patent
Rights, (except for abandonment of a patent
application in favor of a patent application
subsequently filed for purposes of
continuing the prosecution of Patent Rights
claiming the inventions included in the
abandoned patent application), Trubion shall
provide Wyeth with written notice
immediately upon the decision to not file or
continue the prosecution of such patent
application or maintenance of such patent.
In such event, Trubion shall permit Wyeth,
at Wyeth's sole discretion, to file and/or
continue prosecution and/or maintenance of
such Product-Related Patent Right on
Trubion's behalf and at Wyeth's own expense.
If Wyeth elects to file or to continue such
prosecution or maintenance, it shall notify
Trubion in writing of such decision within
*** of receipt of Trubion's written notice,
in which case Trubion shall assign to Wyeth
such Product-Related Patent Right abandoned
by Trubion and shall execute such documents
and perform such acts, at Wyeth's expense,
as may be reasonably necessary to permit
Wyeth to file, prosecute and/or maintain
such Product-Related Patent Right. In the
event that Wyeth files or continues the
prosecution or maintenance of any such
Product-Related Patent Right pursuant to
this Section 6.2.1(a), then Wyeth
54
REDACTED COPY
shall no longer be obligated to pay to Trubion any
royalty payments that would be due solely with
respect to such Product-Related Patent Right.
(b) WYETH PATENT RIGHTS. Subject to Section 6.2.1(d), and
except with respect to Covered SMIP Improvements, Wyeth,
at its own expense, shall have the sole right, but not
the obligation, to prepare, file, prosecute and
maintain, throughout the Territory, all Wyeth Patent
Rights, using patent counsel of Wyeth's choice.
(c) JOINT PATENT RIGHTS. Subject to Section 6.2.1(d), in the
event the Parties make any Joint Invention (excluding a
Covered SMIP Improvement), the Joint Patent Committee
shall promptly meet to discuss and determine whether to
seek patent protection thereon. If the Joint Patent
Committee decides to seek patent protection on such
Joint Invention, then Wyeth shall have the primary
obligation to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain any
corresponding Joint Patent Rights throughout the
Territory using patent counsel mutually agreeable to the
Parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld.
Wyeth shall give Trubion a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment on the text of any patent application
with respect to such Joint Patent Right before filing,
shall consult with Trubion with respect thereto, shall
reasonably consider and address any of Trubion's
comments, and shall supply Trubion with a copy of each
such patent application as filed, together with notice
of its filing date and serial number. Wyeth shall keep
Trubion advised of the status of the actual and
prospective patent filings (including, without
limitation, the grant of any Joint Patent Rights), shall
provide Trubion with a reasonable opportunity to comment
on all correspondence received from and all proposed
submissions to be made to any government patent office
or authority related to the filing, prosecution and
maintenance of such patent filings, shall consult with
Trubion with respect thereto, and shall reasonably
consider and address any of Trubion's comments on such
correspondence and submissions. Trubion shall reimburse
Wyeth for *** of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Wyeth in connection with preparing, filing, prosecuting
and maintaining such Joint Patent Rights (other than
out-of-pocket expenses for inventorship determinations
and inventorship disputes), which reimbursement will be
made within *** of receiving invoices, such invoices to
be submitted by Wyeth no more often than once per
Calendar Quarter and to be
55
REDACTED COPY
accompanied by supporting documentation demonstrating
and detailing the expenses so incurred. On an annual
basis, during the last Calendar Quarter of each year,
Wyeth shall provide Trubion with a good faith, written
estimate of the out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by
Trubion under this Section 6.2.1(c) that Wyeth expects
to incur in the following calendar year. If Wyeth elects
not to file a patent application on any such Joint
Patent Rights, or to cease the prosecution and/or
maintenance of any such Joint Patent Rights (except for
abandonment of a patent application in favor of a patent
application subsequently filed for purposes of
continuing the prosecution of Patent Rights claiming the
inventions included in the abandoned patent
application), Wyeth shall provide Trubion with written
notice immediately upon the decision to not file or
continue the prosecution of such patent application or
maintenance of such patent. In such event, Wyeth shall
permit Trubion, at Trubion's sole discretion, to file
and/or continue prosecution and/or maintenance of such
Joint Patent Rights at Trubion's own expense. If Trubion
elects to continue such prosecution or maintenance, it
shall notify Wyeth in writing of such decision within
*** of receipt of Wyeth's written notice, in which case,
Wyeth shall assign to Trubion such Joint Patent Rights
abandoned by Wyeth and shall execute such documents and
perform such acts, at Trubion's expense, as may be
reasonably necessary to permit Trubion to file,
prosecute and/or maintain such Joint Patent Rights.
(d) CATEGORY 1 AND CATEGORY 2 COVERED SMIP IMPROVEMENTS.
(i) CATEGORY 1 COVERED SMIP IMPROVEMENTS. In the event
that Wyeth makes any Category 1 Covered SMIP
Improvement (whether it is an invention solely by
Wyeth or a Joint Invention), Trubion shall have
the first right and primary obligation to prepare,
file, prosecute and maintain any Patent Rights
covering such Category 1 Covered SMIP Improvement,
using patent counsel mutually agreeable to the
Parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably
withheld. Trubion shall give Wyeth a reasonable
opportunity to review and comment on the text of
any patent application with respect to such
Category 1 Covered SMIP Improvement before filing,
shall consult with Wyeth with respect thereto,
shall reasonably consider and address any of
Wyeth's comments, and shall supply
56
REDACTED COPY
Wyeth with a copy of the patent application as
filed, together with notice of its filing date and
serial number. Trubion shall keep Wyeth advised of
the status of the actual and prospective patent
filings (including, without limitation, the grant
of any Patent Rights covering such Category 1
Covered SMIP Improvements), shall provide Wyeth
with a reasonable opportunity to comment on all
correspondence received from and all proposed
submissions to be made to any government patent
office or authority related to the filing,
prosecution and maintenance of such patent
filings, shall consult with Wyeth with respect
thereto, and shall reasonably consider and address
any of Wyeth's comments on such correspondence and
submissions. Each Party shall be responsible for
*** of Trubion's out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with preparing, filing, prosecuting
and maintaining such Category 1 Covered SMIP
Improvement-related Patent Rights throughout the
Territory, other than out-of-pocket expenses for
inventorship determinations and inventorship
disputes. Wyeth shall reimburse Trubion on a
quarterly basis within *** of receiving an invoice
accompanied by supporting documentation
demonstrating the out-of-pocket expenses so
incurred. On an annual basis, during the last
Calendar Quarter of each year, Trubion shall
provide Wyeth with a good faith, written estimate
of the out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by
Wyeth under this Section 6.2.1(d)(i) that Trubion
expects to incur in the following calendar year.
In addition, if Trubion elects not to file a
patent application on a Category 1 Covered SMIP
Improvement, or to cease the prosecution and/or
maintenance of any Category 1 Covered SMIP
Improvement-related Patent Right (except for
abandonment of a patent application in favor of a
patent application subsequently filed for purposes
of continuing the prosecution of Patent Rights
claiming the inventions included in the abandoned
patent application), Trubion shall provide Wyeth
with written notice immediately upon the decision
to not file or continue the prosecution of such
patent application or maintenance of such patent.
If Wyeth elects to continue such prosecution or
maintenance, it shall notify Trubion in writing of
such decision within *** of receipt of Trubion's
written notice, in which case Trubion shall assign
to
57
REDACTED COPY
Wyeth the right to file, prosecute and maintain
such Category 1 Covered SMIP Improvement-related
Patent Right, and shall execute such documents and
perform such acts, at Wyeth's expense, as may be
reasonably necessary to permit Wyeth to file,
prosecute and/or maintain such Category 1 Covered
SMIP Improvement-related Patent Right. In the
event that Wyeth continues the prosecution or
maintenance of any Category 1 Covered SMIP
Improvement-related Patent Right pursuant to this
Section 6.2.1(d)(i), Wyeth shall do so at its own
expense, and Wyeth shall no longer be obligated to
pay to Trubion any royalty payments that would be
due solely with respect to any such Category 1
Covered SMIP Improvement-related Patent Right.
(ii) CATEGORY 2 COVERED SMIP IMPROVEMENTS. In the event
that Wyeth makes any Category 2 Covered SMIP
Improvement (whether it is an invention solely by
Wyeth or a Joint Invention), Wyeth shall have the
first right and primary obligation to prepare,
file, prosecute and maintain any Patent Rights
covering such Category 2 Covered SMIP Improvement,
at its own expense, using patent counsel mutually
agreeable to the Parties, such agreement not to be
unreasonably withheld. Wyeth shall give Trubion a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment on
the text of any patent application with respect to
such Category 2 Covered SMIP Improvement before
filing, shall consult with Trubion with respect
thereto, shall reasonably consider and address any
of Trubion's comments, and shall supply Trubion
with a copy of the patent application as filed,
together with notice of its filing date and serial
number. Wyeth shall keep Trubion advised of the
status of the actual and prospective patent
filings (including, without limitation, the grant
of any Patent Rights covering such Category 2
Covered SMIP Improvement), shall provide Trubion
with a reasonable opportunity to comment on all
correspondence received from and all proposed
submissions to be made to any government patent
office or authority related to the filing,
prosecution and maintenance of such patent
filings, shall consult with Trubion with respect
thereto, and shall reasonably consider and address
any of Trubion's comments on such correspondence
and submissions. If Wyeth elects not to file a
patent application on a
58
REDACTED COPY
Category 2 Covered SMIP Improvement, or to cease
the prosecution and/or maintenance of any Category
2 Covered SMIP Improvement-related Patent Right
(except for abandonment of a patent application in
favor of a patent application subsequently filed
for purposes of continuing the prosecution of
Patent Rights claiming the inventions included in
the abandoned patent application), Wyeth shall
provide Trubion with written notice immediately
upon the decision to not file or continue the
prosecution of such patent application or
maintenance of such patent. If Trubion elects to
continue such prosecution or maintenance, it shall
notify Wyeth in writing of such decision within
*** of receipt of Wyeth's written notice, in which
case Wyeth shall assign to Trubion such Category 2
Covered SMIP Improvement-related Patent Right
abandoned by Wyeth and shall execute such
documents and perform such acts, at Trubion's
expense, as may be reasonably necessary to permit
Trubion to file, prosecute and/or maintain such
Category 2 Covered SMIP Improvement-related Patent
Right.
6.2.2. ENFORCEMENT OF PATENT RIGHTS.
(a) NOTICE. If either Wyeth or Trubion becomes aware of any
infringement, anywhere in the Territory, of any issued
patent within the Trubion Patent Rights (including
Product-Related Patent Rights), Wyeth Patent Rights or
Joint Patent Rights, which infringing activity adversely
affects or is reasonably expected to adversely affect
any SMIP or Licensed Product hereunder, it will promptly
notify the other Party in writing to that effect and the
Parties will consult with each other through the Joint
Patent Committee regarding any actions to be taken with
respect to such infringing activity; provided, however,
that neither Party is obligated to disclose confidential
information of a Third Party (other than a sublicensee
under this Agreement, to the extent such Party is
permitted to do so under the terms of the sublicense).
(b) PRODUCT-RELATED PATENT RIGHTS. To the extent permitted
under the Trubion Third Party Agreements, if applicable,
Wyeth shall have the first right, but not the
obligation, to take action to obtain a discontinuance of
infringement or bring suit against a Third Party
infringer of Product-Related Patent Rights under which
Wyeth has an exclusive license
59
REDACTED COPY
to make, use and sell Licensed Products under this
Agreement, to the extent such infringement involves a
product directed against a Licensed Target. Wyeth shall
have such first right within three (3) months from the
date of notice and the right to join Trubion as a party
plaintiff. Wyeth shall be responsible for, and shall
bear, all the out-of-pocket expenses of any suit brought
by it claiming infringement of any such Product-Related
Patent Rights; provided that Trubion shall reimburse
Wyeth for *** of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection therewith. Trubion will cooperate with Wyeth
in any such suit and shall have the right to consult
with Wyeth and to participate in and be represented by
independent counsel in such litigation at its own
expense. Wyeth shall incur no liability to Trubion as a
consequence of such litigation or any unfavorable
decision resulting therefrom, including any decision
holding any of the Product-Related Patent Rights invalid
or unenforceable. Any recoveries obtained by Wyeth as a
result of any proceeding against such Third Party
infringer shall be allocated as follows:
(i) Such recovery shall first be used to reimburse
each Party for all out-of-pocket litigation
expenses in connection with such litigation paid
by that Party; and
(ii) With respect to any remaining recovery, *** shall
go to Wyeth and *** shall go to Trubion.
If, after the expiration of the three (3) month period
(or, if earlier, the date upon which Wyeth provides
written notice that it does not plan to bring suit),
Wyeth has not obtained a discontinuance of such
infringement of Product-Related Patent Rights or filed
suit against any such Third Party infringer hereunder,
then Trubion shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to bring suit against such Third Party
infringer of the Product-Related Patent Rights under
which Wyeth has an exclusive license under this
Agreement, provided that each Party shall bear *** of
the out-of-pocket expenses of such suit. Wyeth will
cooperate with Trubion in any such suit for infringement
of such Product-Related Patent Rights brought by Trubion
against a Third Party, and shall have the right to
consult with Trubion and to participate in and be
represented by independent counsel in such litigation at
its own expense. Trubion shall incur no liability to
Wyeth as a consequence of such litigation or any
60
REDACTED COPY
unfavorable decision resulting therefrom, including any
decision holding any of the Product-Related Patent
Rights invalid or unenforceable. Any recoveries obtained
by Trubion as a result of any such proceeding against a
Third Party infringer shall be allocated as follows:
(iii) Such recovery shall first be used to reimburse
each Party for all out-of-pocket litigation
expenses in connection with such litigation paid
by that Party; and
(iv) With respect to any remaining recovery, *** shall
go to Trubion.
(c) JOINT PATENT RIGHTS. With respect to any notice of a
Third Party infringer of the Joint Patent Rights, the
Joint Patent Committee shall meet as soon as reasonably
practicable to discuss such infringement and determine
an appropriate course of action. Wyeth shall have the
first right but not the obligation to bring an action
against such Third Party infringer or otherwise address
such alleged infringement within *** from the date of
notice and to control such litigation or other means of
addressing such infringement. Wyeth shall be responsible
for, and shall bear, all the out-of-pocket expenses of
any suit brought by it claiming infringement of any such
Joint Patent Rights; provided that Trubion shall
reimburse Wyeth for *** of the out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection therewith. Trubion shall
cooperate with Wyeth, at Wyeth's expense, in any such
suit brought by Wyeth and shall have the right to
consult with Wyeth and participate in and be represented
by independent counsel in such litigation at its own
expense. Wyeth shall incur no liability to Trubion as a
consequence of such litigation or any unfavorable
decision resulting therefrom, including any decision
holding any of the Joint Patent Rights invalid or
unenforceable. Any recoveries obtained by Wyeth as a
result of any proceeding against such Third Party
infringer shall be allocated as follows:
(i) Such recovery shall first be used to reimburse
each Party for all out-of-pocket litigation
expenses in connection with such litigation paid
by that Party; and
(ii) With respect to any remaining recovery, *** shall
go to Wyeth and *** shall go to Trubion.
61
REDACTED COPY
If, after the expiration of the three (3) month period
(or, if earlier, the date upon which Wyeth provides
written notice that it does not plan to bring suit)
Wyeth elects not to take action against a Third Party
infringer of the Joint Patent Rights and Trubion elects
to bring an action, then Wyeth shall cooperate, at
Trubion's expense, in such action. Trubion shall incur
no liability to Wyeth as a consequence of such
litigation or any unfavorable decision resulting
therefrom, including any decision holding any of the
Joint Patent Rights invalid or unenforceable. Any
recoveries obtained by Trubion shall go to Trubion.
6.2.3. INFRINGEMENT AND THIRD PARTY LICENSES.
(a) INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY PATENTS - COURSE OF ACTION.
If the research, Development, Manufacture or
Commercialization of any Licensed Product is alleged by
a Third Party to infringe a Third Party's patent, the
Party becoming aware of such allegation shall promptly
notify the other Party.
Additionally, if either Party determines (with
consultation by the Joint Patent Committee) that, based
upon the review of a Third Party's patent or patent
application or other intellectual property rights, it
may be desirable to obtain a license from such Third
Party with respect thereto, such Party shall promptly
notify the other Party of such determination. In the
event Wyeth determines, after good faith consultation
with Trubion through the Joint Patent Committee, that it
is necessary or useful to obtain licenses under
intellectual property rights from Third Parties
("Additional Third Party Licenses") in order to Develop,
Manufacture or Commercialize Licensed Products under
this Agreement, Wyeth shall be solely responsible for
negotiating and obtaining any such Additional Third
Party Licenses, but shall not be obligated to do so.
Trubion may elect, in its sole discretion, to obtain one
or more Third Party licenses that are applicable to
Trubion Technology in general but are not Licensed
Product-specific ("Trubion Additional Third Party
Licenses"); if Trubion so elects, then Trubion shall be
solely responsible for negotiating and obtaining any
such licenses, but shall not be obligated to do so.
(b) THIRD PARTY INFRINGEMENT SUIT. If a Third Party sues a
Party (the "Sued Party") alleging that the Sued Party or
its Affiliates' or sublicensees' research, Development,
62
REDACTED COPY
Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product
during the term of and pursuant to this Agreement
infringes or will infringe said Third Party's patent,
then, upon the Sued Party's request and in connection
with the Sued Party's defense of any such Third Party
infringement suit, the other Party shall provide
reasonable assistance to the Sued Party for such
defense. If both Wyeth and Trubion are sued by a Third
Party, then the Parties shall consult with one another
through the Joint Patent Committee. Unless otherwise
determined by the Joint Patent Committee, Wyeth will
control the defense of any suit relating to Licensed
Products (whether one or both Parties are Sued Parties)
and shall select counsel for such suit after
consultation through the Joint Patent Committee. Trubion
shall have the right to participate in and be
represented by independent counsel in such litigation at
its own expense. If the alleged infringement is of
claims related to the Trubion Technology utilized by
Wyeth hereunder, Wyeth shall be responsible for, and
shall bear, all the out-of-pocket expenses of such
actions; provided that Trubion shall reimburse Wyeth for
*** of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
therewith. In the event Trubion is the Party paying such
expenses, Trubion shall periodically, but no more than
once per Calendar Quarter, invoice Wyeth for its ***
share of expenses incurred. All invoices shall be
accompanied by supporting documentation reasonably
showing the expenses so incurred. Such invoices shall be
paid within *** of receipt. In the event Wyeth is the
Party paying such expenses, Wyeth shall receive a credit
in the amount of Trubion's share of such expenses, which
credit shall be applied to royalties due to Trubion
under Section 5.4, as adjusted under Section 5.4.6;
provided that, no such royalty payment to Trubion shall
be reduced by more than *** in any Calendar Quarter as a
result of such credit. Any portion of the credit not
utilized due to the limitations of the preceding
sentence shall be carried over and credited to future
royalty payments.
(c) INTERFERENCE, OPPOSITION, REVOCATION, AND DECLARATORY
JUDGMENT ACTIONS. If the Parties, through the Joint
Patent Committee, mutually determine that, based upon
the review of a Third Party's patent or patent
application or other intellectual property rights, it
may be desirable to provoke or institute an
interference, opposition, revocation or declaratory
judgment action with respect thereto, then the Parties
shall consult with one another and shall reasonably
63
REDACTED COPY
cooperate in connection with such an action. Unless
otherwise determined by the Joint Patent Committee,
Wyeth will control such action and shall select counsel
for such action. Wyeth shall be responsible for, and
shall bear, all the out-of-pocket expenses of such
action; provided that Trubion shall reimburse Wyeth for
*** of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
therewith. Wyeth shall submit invoices to Trubion for
such expenses, such invoices to be accompanied by
supporting documentation reasonably showing the expenses
so incurred. Trubion shall have the right to participate
in and be represented by independent counsel in such
action at its own expense.
6.2.4. PATENT CERTIFICATIONS. Each Party shall immediately give
written notice to the other of any certification of which it
becomes aware filed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. Section
355(b)(2)(A) or Section 355(j)(2)(A)(vii) (or any amendment
or successor statute thereto), any similar statutory or
regulatory requirement enacted in the future regarding
biologic products, or any similar statutory or regulatory
requirement in any non-U.S. country in the Territory claiming
that a Joint Patent Right, Wyeth Patent Right or a Trubion
Patent Right covering a Licensed Product is invalid or that
infringement will not arise from the Manufacture, use or sale
of a product by a Third Party. Upon the giving or receipt of
such notice, Wyeth shall have the first right, but not the
obligation, to bring an infringement action against such
Third Party. In such a case, Wyeth shall notify Trubion at
least ten (10) days prior to the date set forth by statute or
regulation of its intent to exercise, or not exercise, this
right. Any infringement action against a Third Party arising
under this Section 6.2.4 shall be governed by the provisions
of Section 6.2.2(b) hereof.
6.2.5. PATENT TERM RESTORATION. The Parties hereto shall cooperate
with each other in obtaining patent term restoration, or its
equivalent anywhere in the Territory, including under 35
U.S.C. Section 156 and its foreign counterparts, where
applicable to the Trubion Patent Rights, Wyeth Patent Rights
and Joint Patent Rights. If elections with respect to
obtaining such patent term restoration are to be made, Wyeth
shall make such election (after consultation with Trubion
through the Joint Patent Committee) and Trubion shall abide
by such election.
6.3. TRADEMARKS. Wyeth shall, in its sole discretion select and own all
Licensed Product-related Trademarks, trade dress, logos and
copyrights and names to be used in connection with the
Commercialization of any Licensed Product hereunder. Trubion shall
neither use nor seek to register, anywhere in the Territory, any
trademarks which are confusingly similar to
64
REDACTED COPY
any Trademark or any other trademarks, trade names, trade dress or
logos used by or on behalf of Wyeth or its sublicensees in
connection with any Licensed Product; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 6.3 shall be construed to prevent Trubion
from enforcing its own trademark, trade name, trade dress or logo
rights or affect the Parties' obligations under Section 4.13.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY.
7.1. CONFIDENTIALITY. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this
Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties agree that,

(the "Receiving Party"), receiving any Confidential Information of
the other Party (the "Disclosing Party") hereunder shall keep such
Confidential Information confidential and shall not publish or
otherwise disclose or use such Confidential Information for any
purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement except for

any act or omission of a Party in breach of this
confidentiality obligation;
(d) was disclosed to that Party, other than under an
obligation of confidentiality, by a Third Party who had
no obligation to the Disclosing Party not to disclose
such information to others; or
(e) was independently discovered or developed by or on
behalf of the Receiving Party without the use of the
Confidential Information belonging to the other Party
and the Receiving Party has documentary evidence to that
effect.
7.2. AUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE AND USE.

other Party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably
necessary to:
(a) file or prosecute patent applications covering Trubion
Know-How, Wyeth Know-How or Joint Know-How as
contemplated by this Agreement, in a manner consistent
with decisions and recommendations of the Joint Patent
Committee under Article 6, if the affected Party
consents to such disclosure (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that a
disclosure of a Party's Confidential Information under
this Section 7.2.1(a) shall be treated as a publication

to disclosure of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and Know-How to the extent contained in such
Party's patent applications; and
(e) comply with applicable governmental laws and
regulations.
In the event that a Party shall reasonably deem it necessary
to disclose, pursuant to this Section 7.2.1, Confidential
Information belonging to the other Party, the Disclosing
Party shall to the extent possible give reasonable advance
notice of such disclosure to the other Party and take
reasonable measures to ensure confidential treatment of such
information.
7.2.2. USE. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 7.1, each Party
shall have the right to use Confidential Information of the

Agreement to the extent required, in the reasonable opinion of
such Party's legal counsel, to comply with applicable laws,
including, without limitation, the rules and regulations
promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before disclosing
this Agreement or any of the terms hereof pursuant to this
Section 7.3, the Parties will reasonably consult with one
another on the terms of this Agreement to be redacted in
making any such disclosure. If a Party discloses this
Agreement or any of the terms hereof in accordance with this

confidential treatment of portions of this Agreement or such
terms, as may be reasonably requested by the other Party.
7.4. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS; PUBLICATIONS.

breaching Party's receipt of such Notice of Breach or, if such
material breach pertains to another material breach (other than for

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be in breach of its

caused by the other Party's failure to perform its obligations
hereunder.

of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.5, in lieu of terminating
this Agreement under Section 9.5, with respect to one or more
Licensed Targets identified by Wyeth in its Notice of Modification
(the "Designated Target(s)"), the following terms shall apply:
9.8.1. except as set forth in Section 9.8.4 below, all rights
and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect, and shall not
be subject to any unilateral modification by Wyeth;
provided that, ***;
9.8.2. all licenses granted by Trubion to Wyeth under this

9.8.4. only in the event of (i) a material breach by Trubion
of Section 2.3.1 or 2.3.2; or (ii) a material breach
by Trubion of Section 8.1(e), 8.2(c) or 8.2(d); or
(iii) a material breach by Trubion of Section 8.2(a)
(and, in the case of a material breach by Trubion of
Section 8.2(a), only where Wyeth establishes that
Trubion had knowledge, as of the Signing Date, that
Trubion was not the sole and exclusive owner of the
Trubion Patent Rights or that Trubion had placed, or
suffered to be placed, any liens, charges or
encumbrances on or against the Trubion Patent Rights);
or (iv) if during the term of this Agreement, Trubion
grants to a Third Party a right or license that
conflicts in a material respect with Wyeth's
then-existing rights under this Agreement pertaining
to such Licensed Target(s), and thereby materially
breaches Trubion's obligations hereunder, then:
(a) Wyeth's diligence obligations to use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts under Sections 4.1 and 4.10
shall no longer apply to Licensed Products
directed against such Designated Target;
(b) the amount of any Additional Research and
Development Expense Payment that Wyeth thereafter
becomes obligated to pay under Section 5.3

becomes obligated to pay under Section 5.4
relating to Licensed Products directed against
such Designated Target shall be reduced by fifty
percent (50%) of such amounts.
9.9. SURVIVAL OF CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS. Expiration or termination of this
Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accrued or
accruing before such expiration or termination (including situations
where it becomes clear only after the time of such expiration or
termination that such obligation had already accrued). The following
provisions shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement: Article 1 (to the extent definitions are embodied in the

(c), and 6.2.3(b) and (c); and (2) to pay royalties for Licensed
Products sold before such expiration or termination, and, to the
extent permitted under Section 9.7.9, after expiration or
termination in accordance with Section 5.4 (and subject to the
related obligations under Section 5.5); and (3) to pay any
Additional Research and Development Expense Payments in connection
with any events specified on Exhibit 5.3 that are achieved prior to
such expiration or termination, but with respect to which the
corresponding payments under Exhibit 5.3 were not paid prior to such
expiration or termination.
9.10. CHANGE OF CONTROL.
9.10.1. DEFINITION. With respect to any Party, a "Change of Control"
means an event in which: (a) any other person or group of
persons (as the term "person" is used for purposes of
Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act) not then
beneficially owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the
voting power of the outstanding securities of such Party
acquires or otherwise becomes the beneficial owner (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange
Act) of securities of such Party representing more than
fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the then
outstanding securities of such Party with respect to the
election of directors of such Party; or (b) such Person (i)
consummates a merger, consolidation or similar transaction
with another Person where the voting securities of such
Party outstanding immediately preceding such transaction (or
the voting securities issued with respect to the voting
securities of such Party outstanding immediately preceding
such transaction) represent less than fifty percent (50%) of
the voting power of such Party or surviving entity, as the
case may be, immediately following such transaction, (ii)
sells or otherwise transfers to any Person(s) in one or more
related transactions more than fifty percent (50%) of its
consolidated total assets, or assets from which more than
fifty percent (50%) of its consolidated operating income for
its most recent financial year was derived, (iii) disposes
by sale, assignment, exclusive license or otherwise of all
or substantially all of its intellectual property rights,
except for licenses under such intellectual property rights
in the ordinary course of business and any isolated sale or
assignment of specific items of intellectual property, or
(iv) liquidates, dissolves or winds-up; or (c) with respect
to Wyeth and with respect to Trubion, (at any time following
any public offering of voting securities by Trubion), any
"person" (as the
88
REDACTED COPY
term "person" is used for the purposes of Sections 13(d) or
14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than Wyeth acquires
nineteen and nine-tenths percent (19.9%) or more of the
voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of
such Party.
9.10.2. CHANGE OF CONTROL OF WYETH.
(a) In the event that any transaction results in a Change of
Control of Wyeth, Trubion shall be entitled to request
further written assurances from the successor in
interest to Wyeth (the "Successor Party") re-affirming
the commitment of the Successor Party to comply with the
terms and conditions of the Agreement. Such further
written assurances shall be delivered within *** of
written request by Trubion. Trubion may so request at
any time during the *** period following completion of
the subject transaction. Subject to the operation of
Section 9.10.2(b) below, the failure of such Successor
Party to provide the requested written assurance shall
be deemed to be a material breach of the Agreement.
(b) In the event that in connection with, or during the ***
period following, a Change of Control of Wyeth, Wyeth or
the Successor Party is required, or voluntarily decides,
to divest itself of one or more Licensed Products, Wyeth
or the Successor Party, subject to any restrictions or
limitations imposed by the Federal Trade Commission or
other governmental agency on such divestiture, shall
offer to Trubion an exclusive opportunity to negotiate
the acquisition or license of all rights of Wyeth or
such Successor Party, as the case may be, to such
Licensed Product(s) on commercially reasonable terms. In
the event that Trubion and the Successor Party, after
*** good faith negotiations, are unable to conclude a
definitive agreement regarding the acquisition or
license of such Licensed Product(s), the Successor Party
shall be entitled to divest itself of such Licensed
Product(s) to a party other than Trubion; provided,
however, no such divestiture to a Third Party shall take
place on terms more favorable to such Third Party than
those last offered by the Successor Party to Trubion,
without first offering such Licensed Product(s) to
Trubion on such more favorable terms. Such Third Party
shall be required to assume all of the Successor Party's
obligations owed to Trubion pursuant to this Agreement
with respect to the Licensed Product(s) so divested.
89
REDACTED COPY
(c) In the event of a Change of Control of Wyeth, the
restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 2.3.1 and
2.3.2 (the "Exclusivity Covenants") shall apply to the
Successor Party's then-existing Development and
Commercialization activities that otherwise would
violate the Exclusivity Covenants (the "Existing
Activities"). In such event, Trubion shall have the
right, exercisable upon written notice given by Trubion
(an "Exercise Notice") within *** after consummation of
the Change of Control, to require such Successor Party
to engage in good faith discussions regarding the terms
and conditions on which such Successor Party would pay
reasonable financial consideration to Trubion with
respect to such Existing Activities. If Trubion and such
Successor Party do not agree on such terms and
conditions within *** after Trubion gives the Exercise
Notice (or such longer period as may be agreed to by
such parties), or if such Successor Party notifies
Trubion in writing during such *** period that it does
not desire to engage in such discussions, Trubion shall
have the right, exercisable upon written notice given by
Trubion within ten (10) days (i) after the end of such
*** period (or such longer period as agreed to by such
parties) or (ii) after receipt of such notice from such
Successor Party, to require such Successor Party to
enter into an agreement to divest to a Third Party
either (a) the Existing Activities or (b) the relevant
CD20 Products or ***, as the case may be (such Third
Party, in the case of a divestiture of the relevant CD20
Products or ***, to be reasonably acceptable to Trubion)
within *** after the date of such notice by Trubion,
subject to applicable governmental and regulatory
approval. If such Successor Party does not enter into an
agreement with a Third Party (such Third Party, in the
case of a divestiture of the relevant CD20 Products or
***, to be reasonably acceptable to Trubion) to divest
such Existing Activities or such Products within such
*** period (or if such Successor Party does enter into
such an agreement but such agreement terminates after
such *** period and such divestiture is not consummated)
or if such Successor Party notifies Trubion in writing
that it does not intend to divest such Existing
Activities or such Products, Trubion shall have the
right, exercisable within *** after the end of such ***
period (or upon termination of such agreement, if later)
to terminate, in its sole discretion, all CD20-related
licenses (only where such Existing Activities relate to
products directed against the CD20 Antigen which would
otherwise violate Wyeth's
90
REDACTED COPY
exclusivity covenants in Section 2.3.1 hereof) and/or
all *** (only where such Existing Activities relate to
products directed against the *** which would otherwise
violate Wyeth's exclusivity covenants in Section 2.3.2
hereof) granted to Wyeth under the Agreement, on those
terms and subject to those conditions that would apply
to a termination by Wyeth without cause.
9.10.3. CHANGE OF CONTROL OF TRUBION. In the event of a Change of
Control of Trubion where the acquiring party is a top
fifteen (15) pharmaceutical company (measured by market
capitalization), Wyeth shall have the right to ***
10. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.
10.1. INDEMNIFICATION BY WYETH. Wyeth will indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Trubion, and each of its respective employees, officers,
directors and agents (each, a "Trubion Indemnified Party") from and
against any and all liability, loss, damage, expense (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and cost (collectively,
"Liabilities") that the Trubion Indemnified Party may be required to
pay to one or more Third Parties resulting from or arising out of:
(a) any claims of any nature pertaining to any act or
omission related to performance under this Agreement by,
on behalf of, or under the authority of Wyeth (other
than by any Trubion Indemnified Party) including, but
not limited to, research, Development, Manufacture or
Commercialization of Licensed Product(s) or any
violation of applicable law, rule or regulation by, on
behalf of, or under the authority of Wyeth (other than
by any Trubion Indemnified Party); and/or
(b) any Wyeth representation or warranty set forth herein
being untrue in any material respect when made;
except in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence or
willful misconduct of Trubion or any other Trubion Indemnified
Party.
10.2. INDEMNIFICATION BY TRUBION. Trubion will indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Wyeth and its sublicensees, distributors and each of its
and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents
(each, a "Wyeth Indemnified Party") from and against any and all
Liabilities that the Wyeth Indemnified Party may be required to pay
to one or more Third Parties resulting from or arising out of:
91
REDACTED COPY
(a) any claims of any nature pertaining to any act or
omission related to performance under this Agreement by,
on behalf of, or under the authority of Trubion (other
than by any Wyeth Indemnified Party) or any violation of
applicable law, rule or regulation by, on behalf of, or
under the authority of Trubion (other than by any Wyeth
Indemnified Party); and/or
(b) any Trubion representation or warranty set forth herein
being untrue in any material respect when made;
except in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence or
willful misconduct of Wyeth or any other Wyeth Indemnified Party.
10.3. PROCEDURE. Each Party will notify the other in the event it becomes
aware of a claim for which indemnification may be sought hereunder.
In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Article 10, such Party (the
"Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the other Party (the
"Indemnifying Party") in writing within fifteen (15) days and the
Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall meet to discuss how
to respond to any claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding. The Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified
Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and shall pay
the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding.
The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the
Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim, action or
proceeding, or any litigation resulting from any such claim. In any
such proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (a) the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually
agreed to the retention of such counsel or (b) the named parties to
any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation
of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interests between them. All such fees
and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with
such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from
and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written
consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified
Party is, or arising out of the same set of facts could have been, a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the
Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional
release
92
REDACTED COPY
of the Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the
subject matter of such proceeding.
10.4. INSURANCE. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
obtain and maintain, during the term of this Agreement, commercial
general liability insurance, including products liability insurance,
with reputable and financially secure insurance carriers to cover
its indemnification obligations under Sections 10.1 or 10.2, as
applicable, or self-insurance, in each case with limits of not less
than *** per occurrence and in the aggregate. Insurance shall be
procured with carriers having an A.M. Best Rating of A-VII or
better.
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
11.1. GENERAL. Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or
relating to this Agreement shall be settled, if possible, through
good faith negotiations between the Parties. If, however, the
Parties are unable to settle such dispute after good faith
negotiations, the matter shall be referred to the Executive Officers
to be resolved by negotiation in good faith as soon as is
practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after
referral. Such resolution, if any, of a referred issue shall be
final and binding on the Parties.
11.2. FAILURE OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS TO RESOLVE DISPUTE. If the Executive
Officers are unable to settle the dispute after good faith
negotiation in the manner set forth above, either Party (including
its successors and permitted assigns but excluding its Affiliates
unless an Affiliate is a successor or permitted assign) may seek
resolution of the dispute through any remedies available at law or
in equity from any court of competent jurisdiction.
11.3. DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES. Subject to and
without limiting the indemnification obligations of each Party under
Article 10, under no circumstances shall either Party be liable to
the other Party for consequential or punitive damages arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or any breach thereof. Both Parties
hereby disclaim such damages.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1. PERIODIC EXECUTIVE MEETINGS. The Chief Executive Officer of Trubion,
the Senior Vice President, Research and Development of Trubion, the
Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Wyeth
Pharmaceuticals Biopharma Business Unit and the Executive Vice
President and Operating Officer of Wyeth's Research Division (and
such other executive officers of the Parties as may be designated
from time to time by the Parties) shall meet from time to time
during the first *** of the term of this Agreement to review and
discuss the Parties' activities under
93
REDACTED COPY
this Agreement. Such meetings will be held on a quarterly basis or
such other periodic basis as such executive officers decide, and
will take place in locations selected by such executive officers.
Such meetings may take place by telephone or video conference.
12.2. ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any interest hereunder shall
be assignable by either Party, without the prior written consent of
the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, except a Party may make such an assignment without the
other Party's consent to Affiliates or to a successor to
substantially all of the business of such Party to which this
Agreement relates, whether in merger, sale of stock, sale of assets
or other transaction. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, and the name of a
Party appearing herein shall be deemed to include the names of such
Party's successors and permitted assigns to the extent necessary to
carry out the intent of this Agreement. In addition to the
foregoing, Trubion may assign its right, in whole or part, to
receive payments under this Agreement; provided, however, Trubion
shall notify Wyeth of its intention to do so and shall provide Wyeth
an opportunity for at least *** to negotiate in good faith the
purchase of any such right Trubion intends to so assign. Any
assignment not in accordance with this Section 12.2 shall be void.
12.3. FURTHER ACTIONS. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and
deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes
and intent of the Agreement.
12.4. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for delay
or failure in the performance of the obligations on its part
contained in this Agreement if and to the extent that such failure
or delay is due to circumstances beyond its control which it could
not have avoided by the exercise of reasonable diligence. It shall
notify the other Party promptly should such circumstances arise,
giving an indication of the likely extent and duration thereof, and
shall use all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resume performance
of its obligations as soon as practicable; provided, however, that
neither Party shall be required to settle any labor dispute or
disturbance.
12.5. NON-SOLICITATION. During the period between the Effective Date and
the later of (a) the end of *** or (b) the date ***, but in the case
of (a) and (b) not later than the *** of the Effective Date, neither
Trubion nor the Wyeth pharmaceuticals business operating in the
United States ("U.S. Wyeth Pharmaceuticals") shall solicit for
employment any key or technical employee(s) of the other Party who
become known to U.S. Wyeth Pharmaceuticals or Trubion, as the case
may be, through the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
without the other's prior written consent (which consent may be
granted or denied in the other's sole discretion);
94
REDACTED COPY
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 12.5 shall prohibit
U.S. Wyeth Pharmaceuticals or Trubion, as the case may be, from
hiring any employees of the other who respond to general employment
solicitations not targeted at the employees of the other, advertised
employment opportunities, or hiring by the other by personnel not
working on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or who
are not otherwise directly or indirectly exposed to the personnel
working thereon.
12.6. CORRESPONDENCE AND NOTICES.
12.6.1. ORDINARY NOTICES. Correspondence, reports, documentation,

other Party to receive such written communication.
12.6.2. EXTRAORDINARY NOTICES. Extraordinary notices and other

of this Agreement shall be valid or effective unless made in writing

12.8. WAIVER. No provision of the Agreement shall be waived by any act,
omission or knowledge of a Party or its agents or employees except
by an instrument in writing expressly waiving such provision and
signed by a duly authorized officer of the waiving Party. The waiver
by either of the Parties of any breach of any provision hereof by
the other Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any
succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision
itself.
12.9. SEVERABILITY. If any clause or portion thereof in this Agreement is
for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
same shall not affect any other portion of this Agreement, as it is
the intent of the Parties that this Agreement shall be construed in
such fashion as to maintain its existence, validity and
enforceability to the greatest extent possible. In any such event,
this Agreement shall be construed as if such clause of portion
thereof had never been contained in this Agreement, and there shall
be deemed substituted therefor such provision as will most nearly
carry out the intent of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
12.10. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of this Agreement
are for convenience only, and shall be of no force or effect in

contains the complete, final and exclusive understanding and
agreement of the Parties and cancels and supersedes any and all
prior negotiations, correspondence, understandings and agreements,
whether oral or written, among the Parties respecting the subject
matter hereof and thereof, including, but not limited to, that
certain Non-Disclosure Agreement of the Parties effective May 27,

shall have any other obligations, whether by implication or
otherwise, with respect to the research, Development, Manufacture
or Commercialization of Licensed Products.
12.13. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. Both Parties are independent contractors
under this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership
relationship between the Parties hereto or any of their agents or
employees, or any other legal arrangement that would impose
liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the
other Party. Neither Party shall have any express or implied power
to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any
liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or
to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.
12.14. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which need not contain the signature of more
than one Party but all such counterparts taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile signatures shall

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
TRUBION PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Common Stock Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as
of December __, 2005 by and between Trubion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Wyeth, a Delaware corporation (the
"Purchaser").
RECITALS
A. The Purchaser and the Company are entering into a collaboration
agreement of even date herewith (the "Collaboration Agreement");
B. In connection with the Collaboration Agreement, Purchaser desires
to purchase from the Company shares of its Common Stock (the "Common Stock"),
concurrently with and conditioned upon the closing of the Company's initial
public offering, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;
C. The Company and the Purchaser wish to set forth the terms and
conditions upon which the Company will sell the Common Stock to the Purchaser;
and
D. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and
Purchaser are entering into an amendment (the "Rights Agreement Amendment") to
the Company's Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement (the "Rights
Agreement") to provide Purchaser with certain rights and obligations thereunder
upon the issuance of the Common Stock hereunder.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual
covenants and conditions contained herein, the Company and the Purchaser hereby
agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
1.1 Purchase Price and Closing. Subject solely to the conditions set forth
in Sections 1.2 - 1.5 and Article IV hereof, the Company will issue and sell to
the Purchaser and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the Purchaser will purchase from the Company (the "Sale"), that
number of shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") equal to the quotient obtained
by dividing Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (the "Investment Amount")
by the per-share price to the public (the "IPO Price") of shares of Common Stock
in the Company's first underwritten, firm commitment public offering (the "IPO")
pursuant to an effective registration statement (the "Registration Statement")
under
REDACTED COPY
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The per share
price to Purchaser shall be the IPO Price. The purchase and sale will take place
at a closing (the "Closing") to be held on the date, at the location and
simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, subject to the satisfaction of all
of the conditions to the Closing specified in Article IV herein. At the Closing
the Company will issue and deliver a certificate evidencing the Shares to the
Purchaser against payment of the full purchase price therefor by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company.
1.2 Maximum Share Number. Notwithstanding Section 1.1 above, in the event
the number of Shares would otherwise constitute more than (i) nineteen and
nine-tenths percent (19.9%) of the Actual Voting Power (as defined in Section
5.1(i)) or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the number of shares issued in the IPO
(including any shares covered by a related registration statement filed pursuant
to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act but excluding any shares issued or to be
issued in an overallotment option), then in either case (i) or (ii) above the
Investment Amount (and correspondingly the number of shares purchased by the
Purchaser) shall be reduced by the minimum dollar amount and share amount
necessary to avoid either such event.
1.3 Restrictions on Transfer. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement Amendment,
Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in Sections
2.1 and 2.12 of the Rights Agreement shall apply to Purchaser and the Shares.
1.4 HSR Act. Prior to the execution of the Collaboration Agreement and
this Agreement, the parties made certain filings under the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"). If either party
concludes in good faith that additional filings or proceedings are necessary or
desirable as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby either as a result
of the signing of this Agreement or in connection with the Closing or otherwise,
the parties agree to promptly file such additional notices, applications and
documents that may be required under the HSR Act, or any other required foreign
or domestic competition law (collectively, the "Competition Laws") and all
applicable additional filings fees associated therewith shall be paid by the
party required to so pay such additional filing fees under the applicable
Competition Law(s). In connection therewith, the Company and Purchaser each
shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as may be
required to cause the expiration or early termination of the notice periods
under the Competition Laws as promptly as possible and to resolve such
objections, if any, as may be asserted with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement under the Competition Laws; provided, however,
that notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall agree to any change or
amendment to this Agreement unless such change or amendment is agreed by the
other party in advance. Nothing in this Agreement shall require either party or
any subsidiary or affiliate of either party to sell, hold separate, license or
otherwise dispose of any assets or conduct its business in a specified manner,
or agree or proffer to sell, hold separate, license or otherwise dispose of any
assets or conduct its business in a specified manner, or permit or agree to the
sale, holding separate, licensing or other disposition of any assets of either
party or any subsidiary or affiliate of either party, whether as a condition to
obtaining any approval from, or to avoid potential litigation or administrative
action by, a governmental entity or any other person or for any other reason.
1.5 Termination of Purchase Right and Obligation. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser's right and obligation to
purchase, and the Company's right and obligation to sell, the Shares shall
terminate if the closing of the IPO has not occurred prior to the earliest to
occur of the following:
(a) The termination of the Collaboration Agreement; or
(b) The Company (1) undergoes a Change of Control (as defined in
Section 5.1(iv));; provided, however, the following shall be deemed to not be a
Change of Control for purposes of this
2
REDACTED COPY
Section 1.5(b): (i) a transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of
changing the domicile of the Company, or (ii) an equity financing in which the
Company is the surviving corporation, or (2) engages in a merger, consolidation,

of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (as defined
below).

AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT
This Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement
(the "RIGHTS AGREEMENT") dated as of July 13, 2004 is entered into as of
________, 2005, by and among Trubion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "COMPANY"), Wyeth, a Delaware corporation ("WYETH"), and the
investors set forth on EXHIBIT A hereto (collectively the "INVESTORS" and each
individually an "INVESTOR").
RECITALS
A. The Company and the Investors are parties to the Rights Agreement.
B. The Company and Wyeth have entered into a Common Stock Purchase
Agreement dated as of December __, 2005 (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") pursuant to
which the Company will sell to Purchaser and Purchaser will purchase from the
Company shares of the Company's Common Stock concurrent with and conditioned
upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering (the "CLOSING"). A
condition to the Purchaser's obligations under the Purchase Agreement is that
the Rights Agreement be amended in order to provide Purchaser with certain
rights to register shares of the Company's Common Stock.
C. Pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Rights Agreement, the written consent of
the Company and the Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities
(the "REQUISITE HOLDERS") is required to amend the Rights Agreement.
D. The Company and the Requisite Holders desire to induce Purchaser to
enter into the Purchase Agreement by agreeing to the terms and conditions set
forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, representations,
warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the meaning ascribed to them in the Rights Agreement.
2. Addition of Purchaser as a Party to the Rights Agreement. Effective
upon the Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the parties hereby agree to
add Purchaser as a party to the Rights Agreement and Purchaser shall be deemed a
"Holder" of Registrable Securities for purposes of Sections 1, 2 and 6 of the
Rights Agreement and subject to all of the rights and obligations of such
Sections. For purposes of clarification, Purchaser shall not be entitled to the
rights or subject to the obligations set forth in Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the
Rights Agreement and Purchaser shall not be deemed an "INVESTOR" for purposes of
the Rights Agreement.
REDACTED COPY
3. Amendment to Section 1.1. The definition of "Registrable Securities"
set forth in Section 1.1 is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety
as follows:
"REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" means (a) Common Stock of the Company issued
or issuable upon conversion of the Shares, (b) Common Stock of the Company
issued to Xxxxxxx Healthcare Fund ("XXXXXXX"), ARCH Venture Fund ("ARCH") and
Xxxxx Xxxxxx ("XXXXXX") pursuant to those certain Common Stock Purchase
Agreements dated November 19, 2002 by and between the Company and each of
Xxxxxxx, Arch and Xxxxxx, (c) Common Stock of the Company issued to Wyeth
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and (d) any Common Stock of the Company
issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or
other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect
to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, the securities described in (a),
(b) and (c) above; provided, however, the shares referred to in clause (c) above
shall not qualify as Registrable Securities for the purposes of Sections 2.2
hereof until the 15 month anniversary of the Closing. For the avoidance of
doubt, in the event that the Company effects a registration under the Securities
Act pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof prior to the 15 month anniversary of the
Closing, in connection with such registration the Shares referred to in clause
(c) above shall qualify as Registrable Securities for the purposes of Section
2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registrable Securities shall not include any
securities sold by a person to the public pursuant to a registration statement
or Rule 144 or sold in a private transaction in which the transferor's rights
under SECTION 2 of this Agreement are not assigned.
4. Amendment to Section 2.1(a)(ii). Section 2.1(a)(ii) is amended
effective immediately following the expiration of the "Market Stand-Off" period
set forth in Section 2.12 hereof, by deleting the last sentence thereof and
substituting therefor the following:
"Subject to the other terms of this Agreement (including without
limitation the restrictions on assignment of registration rights set forth
in Section 2.10 and Sections 2.1(b) and (d)), it is agreed that the
restrictions contained in this Section 2.1(a)(ii) shall not apply to
dispositions of Shares or Registrable Securities made pursuant to Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act."
5. Amendment to Section 6.5. Section 6.5 is hereby amended by adding,
after the final sentence thereof, the following:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither this Agreement nor any term
hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated in any way that
diminishes or eliminates the rights particular to Wyeth hereunder and in a
manner different than the other holders of Registrable Securities, such action
shall require the prior written consent of Wyeth.
6. Waiver of Right of Participation. Each Investor on behalf of itself and
all other Investors and holders of Registrable Securities hereby waives any
right of participation set forth in Section IV of the Rights Agreement with
respect to the sale and issuance of the shares of Company Common Stock to Wyeth
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
7. No Other Amendments. Except as expressly amended or waived as set forth
above, the Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance
with its terms.
8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute one document.

ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
EXPENSE PAYMENTS
A. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE PAYMENTS FOR CD20 PRODUCTS
Within *** after Trubion's or Wyeth's achievement of the following events with
respect to any *** (each payable one time only even if achieved with respect to
more than one ***), Wyeth shall make the following payments to Trubion:
***
B. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE PAYMENTS FOR ***
Within *** after Wyeth's achievement of the following events with respect to any
*** (each payable one time only even if completed or achieved with respect to
more than one ***), Wyeth shall make the following payments to Trubion:
***
C. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE PAYMENTS FOR OTHER PRODUCTS
Within *** after Wyeth's achievement of the following events with respect to
each Other Product (up to a maximum of *** Other Products), Wyeth shall make the
following payments to Trubion; provided, however, that: (i) in the event that
any of the following events is achieved with respect to two or more Other
Products that are directed against the same Wyeth Target, such payment shall be
payable only with respect to the first such Other Product for which the event
occurred; and (ii) in the event that an Other Product is directed against two or
more Wyeth Targets, such Licensed Product shall be a Multispecific SMIP Product,
the consequences of which are as described in Section D below:
***
D. NO ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS; OTHER APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(i) Other than the payments listed in Sections A - C of this Exhibit 5.3, no
Additional Research and Development Expense Payments shall be due or payable by
Wyeth to Trubion for any Licensed Product, regardless of the number of Licensed
Products Developed against any Trubion Target or Wyeth Target.
(ii) Each of the Additional Research and Development Expense Payments set forth
above shall be payable one time only with respect to each Licensed Target
(regardless
2
REDACTED COPY
of the number of times the specified event is achieved with respect to any
Licensed Product(s)).
(iii) In the event that the Development of a Licensed Product directed against a
particular Licensed Target hereunder (an "Initial Licensed Product") is
discontinued prior to the Commercialization of such Initial Licensed Product,
and Development has been initiated with respect to another Licensed Product
directed against such Licensed Target (a "Replacement Licensed Product"),
payments with respect to such Replacement Licensed Product shall be due under
this Exhibit 5.3 only upon the achievement of those events that have not been
achieved by the Initial Licensed Product.
(iv) Without limiting the foregoing, if a specified event listed in Sections A -
C of this Exhibit 5.3 occurs with respect to a Licensed Product directed
against two or more Licensed Targets (a "Multispecific SMIP Product"), then (a)
no more than one Additional Research and Development Expense Payment shall
become payable with respect to the achievement of such event for such
Multispecific SMIP Product, (b) only the highest Additional Research and
Development Expense Payment based on the achievement of such event that has not
already become payable shall be payable, and (c) if all Additional Research and
Development Expense Payments based on the achievement of such event have already
become payable, then no payment shall be due with respect to such event for such
Multispecific SMIP Product. By way of example only, if a BLA filing and
acceptance for review in the U.S. occurs with respect to a Multispecific SMIP
Product directed against the *** and a Wyeth Target ("Wyeth Target Q"), then:
(x) if the *** Additional Research and Development Expense Payment under Section
B for such event has not already become payable, only such $15.0 million amount
shall become payable; (y) if such *** Additional Research and Development
Expense Payment had already become payable, then the *** Additional Research and
Development Expense Payment under Section C for such event shall become payable,
if it has not previously become payable; and, (z) if both such *** and such ***
Additional Research and Development Expense Payment had previously become
payable, then no payment shall be due upon BLA filing and acceptance for review
in the U.S. with respect to such Multispecific SMIP Product. To continue the
same example, if the same Multispecific SMIP Product meets the condition set
forth in (x) above, and thereafter a BLA filing and acceptance for review in the
U.S. occurs with respect to a separate Licensed Product directed only against
such Wyeth Target Q, then upon such subsequent occurrence by such separate
Licensed Product, the *** Additional Research and Development Expense Payment
shall be payable with respect to such Wyeth Target Q (if such *** payment had
not previously become payable in connection with Wyeth Target Q).
(v) Subject to the limitations set forth above in Sections A, B and C and in
this Section D, if an Additional Research and Development Expense Payment based
on a clinical study of, or Regulatory Approval filing for, a Licensed Product
for a particular indication (a "Later Development Event") becomes payable before
the achievement of an earlier phase clinical study event with respect to such
Licensed
3
REDACTED COPY
Product for the same indication for which Additional Research and Development
Expense Payments would have been payable (an "Earlier Development Event"), then
the Additional Research and Development Expense Payment for the Earlier
Development Event also shall become payable upon occurrence of the Later
Development Event. ***
