14
less than all), IDRI shall follow the procedures set forth in this Section 4. IDRI shall notify Immune Design in writing of the indication and territory of the proposed license it desires to negotiate with Third Parties and provide data and information reasonably necessary for Immune Design to evaluate the Results of Continuing Work subject to license; provided, that IDRI shall not provide such notice or enter into negotiations or discussions with a Third Party to license any Results of Continuing Work (other than with respect to products containing *** or services using ***) during the *** period following the Restated Effective Date. Thereafter, Immune Design shall have a period of *** days to provide written notice to IDRI (an “ID Notice” under this Section) that it desires to enter into negotiations for an exclusive license to such Results of Continuing Work in the designated portion (or all, as the case may be) of the Immune Design Exclusive Field or in the *** Field outside the IDRI Territory (or a portion thereof, as designated by Immune Design). Upon receipt of the ID Notice by IDRI, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith over a period of *** days (or a longer or shorter period, as they may mutually agree) to reach agreement on the principal terms of an exclusive license to such Results of Continuing Work in such field, it being understood that a drafting period of up to an additional *** days (or a longer or shorter period, as the Parties may mutually agree) may be required to reach agreement on a definitive license agreement reflecting such principal terms. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such principal terms during the negotiation period, or if they are unable to reach agreement on such definitive license agreement during the drafting period, IDRI shall be free to negotiate and to enter into one or more nonexclusive licenses to Third Party(ies) with respect to such Results of Continuing Work in the Immune Design Exclusive Field or in the *** Field outside the IDRI Territory (as well as anywhere else in the Territory) that do not provide for the grant of rights under such Results of Continuing Work as to indications or territories that are different than those offered to Immune Design, it being understood that if IDRI otherwise desires to offer or negotiate with Third Party(ies), IDRI shall notify Immune Design and afford Immune Design the opportunity to negotiate an exclusive license for such Results of Continuing Work in accordance with this Section 4. If IDRI fails to enter into a license with respect to Results of Continuing Work with one or more Third Parties within *** after failing to reach agreement with Immune Design, then Immune Design shall again have the right of first negotiation with respect to such Results of Continuing Work, and IDRI shall not negotiate or enter into a license agreement with respect to such Results of Continuing Work without again affording Immune Design the first right of negotiation in accordance with this Section 4. For clarity, if IDRI enters into a license agreement for Results of Continuing Work with a Third Party, Immune Design shall continue to have the right of first negotiation with respect to other Results of Continuing Work not so licensed to a Third Party in accordance with this Section 4.
5. Regulatory; Safety.

milestones stated for such Licensed Product under the applicable clauses. By way of illustration, in the foregoing example, ***, so the total milestone called for under this Section 6.2 for such milestone event for that Licensed Product would be ***.
(h) General Intent. For clarity, the milestone payment obligations set forth in this Section 6.2 do not apply to achievement of such milestone events by a sublicensee of Immune Design (or its Affiliates); however; IDRI receives payments for the success of certain Licensed GLA Products developed by sublicensees by the payment of a portion of Sublicensee Revenue under Section 6.4 below. Furthermore, each milestone payment set forth under Section 6.2(a) through 6.2(f) above (as applicable) shall be due only once for ***.

(b) For ***. Subject to clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 6.3, during the Royalty Term, Immune Design, its Affiliates and its sublicensees will pay to IDRI royalties in the following amounts with respect to Net Sales of *** and with respect to Net Sales of ***:
(i) If the Licensed Product is comprised of ***, *** percent (***%) of such Net Sales of Licensed Products; or
(ii) If the Licensed Product is comprised of ***, *** percent (***%) of such Net Sales of Licensed Products for ***.
(c) Post-Patent Term Royalties. If the making, using, importing, offering to sell or selling of a Licensed Product would have been covered at any time following the Effective Date by one or more Valid Claims of Licensed Patents in a nation, and such Licensed
*** | INDICATES MATERIAL THAT WAS OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WAS REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL WAS FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. |
21
Product is sold in such nation following the expiration, abandonment, or invalidation in such nation of all such Valid Claims, the royalty rate that would otherwise be applicable under this Section 6.3 during the Royalty Term as to the Net Sales so generated shall be reduced by ***% (e.g., ***); provided, however, that the prior rate will be restored as to subsequent Net Sales during the Royalty Term, if, when and for so long as Valid Claims of Licensed Patents again become applicable to such Licensed Product in such nation.
(d) Applicability of Multiple Royalty Provisions. If the Net Sales of a Licensed Product would call for royalties under both clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 6.3 (e.g., ***), the royalty rate with respect to such Net Sales shall be ***.

(e) General Intent. The applicable royalty rate will be the same from *** and from *** regardless of the number of such Valid Claims of the Licensed GLA Patents or Licensed *** Patents claiming such Licensed Product, or the types of Licensed Know-How licensed to Immune Design relating to such Licensed Product. After the expiration of the Royalty Term for a particular Licensed Product in a particular country, the license granted in Article 2 for such Licensed Product for such country shall become perpetual, irrevocable and fully-paid (each, a “Fully Paid License”).
6.4 Sublicense Payments. Immune Design and its Affiliates shall pay IDRI the following percentage of any Sublicensee Revenue each receives within *** (***) days of receipt of such Sublicensee Revenue, based on the most advanced stage of development of any Licensed Product covered by the applicable sublicense agreement, at the time such sublicense agreement is first entered:
Stage of Licensed Product when Sublicensed |
Percentage of Sublicensee Revenue |

6.5 Reports and Payments.
(a) Reports. Within *** (***) days after the end of the calendar quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in any country in the Territory occurs, and each calendar quarter thereafter, Immune Design will send to IDRI: (i) payments of all royalties owed to IDRI for such quarter; and (ii) a report of Net Sales of such Licensed Product in sufficient detail on a country-by-country basis to permit confirmation of the accuracy of the royalty payment made, including the number of such Licensed Product sold, the gross sales and Net Sales of such Licensed Product, the royalties payable (in dollars), the method used to calculate the royalty, and the exchange rates used.
(b) Payments. All references to “dollars” or “$” means the legal currency of the United States. All amounts due to IDRI by Immune Design under this Agreement will be paid in dollars by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by IDRI in Exhibit D. If any currency conversion will be required in connection with any payment or accounting of costs and expenses under this Agreement, such conversion will be made by using the exchange rate for the purchase of dollars as published in The Wall Street Journal, Western Edition, on the last business day prior to the date on which such payment is made.

24
own costs and expenses. If IDRI elects to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Licensed Patent in such jurisdiction for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights, then Immune Design’s license rights to such Licensed Patent in such country will become nonexclusive in such country under such Licensed Patent (and/or patent application). If IDRI desires Immune Design to file, in a particular jurisdiction, a Licensed Patent for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement that claims priority to another Licensed Patent for which Immune Design has any exclusive rights under this Agreement, IDRI shall provide written notice to Immune Design requesting that Immune Design file such patent application in such jurisdiction. If IDRI provides such written notice to Immune Design, Immune Design shall either (i) file and prosecute such patent application and maintain any patent issuing thereon in such jurisdiction and the Parties shall share the related costs and expenses (A) in countries *** on the basis of *** percent (***%) Immune Design: *** percent (***%) IDRI or (B) in countries within the IDRI Territory equally; or (ii) notify IDRI that Immune Design does not desire to file such patent application in such jurisdiction and provide IDRI with the opportunity to file and prosecute such patent application, provided that if IDRI files and prosecutes such patent application in such jurisdiction, then Immune Design’s license rights to such License Patent in such country will become nonexclusive in such country under such Licensed GLA Patent (and/or patent application). Immune Design shall be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred in connection with its own activities for filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Licensed Patents; IDRI shall be responsible for monitoring of such activities by IDRI.
(b) Patents Covering Immune Design’s Sole Inventions. Immune Design shall have the sole right to file, prosecute and maintain all patent applications and patents covering Immune Design’s Sole Inventions, at its sole cost and in its discretion, including conducting any interferences, reexaminations, reissues, oppositions, or request for patent term extension relating thereto. Immune Design shall provide to IDRI a copy of all relevant documentation on the filing, prosecution and maintenance of patents and patent applications claiming Immune Design FMC Technology (the “Immune Design Patents”).
8.2 Enforcement of Licensed GLA Patents. If either Party becomes aware of a suspected infringement or misappropriation of any Licensed Patent, such Party will notify the other Party promptly, and following such notification, the Parties will confer. Immune Design will have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an infringement action for Licensed Patents in *** and in *** at its own expense, in its own name, and entirely under its own direction and control. IDRI will reasonably assist Immune Design (at Immune Design’s expense) in such actions or proceedings if so requested, and will lend its name to or join such actions or proceedings if required by law in order for Immune Design to bring such action. IDRI will have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel at its own expense. Immune Design will pay to IDRI royalties on any recoveries after first deducting from such recovery amount all of its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the filing and prosecution of such suit.
If Immune Design fails, within *** after receiving written notice of such infringement, to take reasonable action to initiate enforcement for such alleged infringement, IDRI may, at its

Immune Design will reasonably assist IDRI (at IDRI’s expense) in such actions or proceedings if so requested, and will lend its name to such actions or proceedings if required by law in order for IDRI to bring such action. Any recovery obtained as a result of such action shall be applied first to the documented legal fees and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the action, and the remainder shall be retained by IDRI.
8.3 Third Party Infringement Claims. If an allegation is made or claim is brought by a Third Party that any activity related to a Licensed GLA Product infringes the intellectual property rights of such Third Party, the Party who becomes aware of such allegation will give prompt written notice to the other Party.
8.4 IDRI-Controlled Patent Rights. IDRI shall have the sole right to file, prosecute, maintain and defend all patent applications and patents covering Licensed Patents for which Immune Design does not have any exclusive rights under this Agreement, at its sole cost and in its discretion, including conducting any interferences, reexaminations, reissues, oppositions, or request for patent term extension relating thereto. However, IDRI shall conduct such filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense in good faith, taking into consideration Immune Design’s comments, and consistent with reasonable business judgment and provide Immune Design with all relevant or material documentation and proposed filing in the Territory so that Immune Design may be concurrently and promptly informed of the continuing prosecution. At IDRI’s expense and reasonable request from time to time, Immune Design shall cooperate, in all reasonable ways with such activities.

In the event of any controversy, claim or other dispute arising out of or relating to any provision of this Agreement or the interpretation, enforceability, performance, breach, termination or validity hereof (a “Dispute”), such Dispute shall be first referred to IDRI’s President and/or Chief Executive Officer and Immune Design’s President and/or Chief Executive Officer for resolution, prior to proceeding under the following provisions of this Article 13. A Dispute shall be referred to such executives upon any Party providing the other Party with written notice that such Dispute exists, and such executives, or their designees, shall attempt to resolve such Dispute through good faith discussions. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved within *** (***) days of such other Party’s receipt of such written notice, either Party may initiate the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 13.2.
13.2 Arbitration. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties agree that any Dispute not resolved internally by the Parties pursuant to Section 13.1 above must be finally resolved through binding arbitration by JAMS in accordance with its

Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the Dispute arises, except as modified in this Agreement, applying the substantive law specified in Section 14.2. A Party may initiate an arbitration by written notice to the other Party of its intention to arbitrate, and such demand notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute. Each Party shall select *** to resolve the Dispute, and all *** shall serve as neutrals. If ***, or if the ***, the necessary appointments shall be made in accordance with the then prevailing Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Within *** (***) months of the conclusion of an arbitration proceeding, the arbitration decision shall be rendered in writing and shall specify the basis on which the decision was made. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and judgment upon such an award may be entered in any competent court or application may be made to any competent court for judicial acceptance of such an award and order of enforcement. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Seattle, Washington. The Parties agree that they shall share equally the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, and the costs of the arbitrators, except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses.
13.3 Patent Validity; Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 13, any Dispute that involves the validity, infringement or claim interpretation of a Patent: (i) that is issued in the United States, shall be subject to actions before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or submitted exclusively to the federal court located in the jurisdiction of the district where any of the defendants resides; and (ii) that is issued in any other country, shall be brought before an appropriate regulatory or administrative body or court in that country, and the Parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts and bodies. For the sake of clarity, such patent disputes shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 13.2. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 13, any Dispute that involves the need to seek preliminary or injunctive measures or other equitable relief (e.g., in the event of a potential (or actual) breach of the confidentiality and non-use provisions in Article 9) need not be resolved through the procedure described in this Article 13 but may be immediately brought in a court of competent jurisdiction.
14. Miscellaneous.
14.1 Complete Agreement; Modification. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; and any and all prior mutual agreements (including without limitation the Original Agreement) respecting the subject matter hereof, either written or oral, expressed or implied, are superseded hereby, merged and canceled, and are null and void and of no effect, except for Addendum No. 1 to License Agreement between Immune Design and IDRI dated *** (“Addendum No. 1”), which shall remain in full force and effect. No amendment or change hereof or addition hereto will be effective or binding on either of the Parties hereto unless reduced to writing and duly executed on behalf of both Parties. It is the intention of the Parties that this Amended and Restated License Agreement shall not have an adverse effect on the sublicenses granted to *** and its affiliates under the agreements with *** referenced in Addendum No. 1. To the extent any provisions under this Amended and Restated Agreement would have an adverse effect on such sublicenses, they shall not be applicable and, instead, the applicable provisions of the Original Agreement shall apply to ***’s sublicenses.

14.2 Governing Law. Resolution of all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the performance, enforcement, breach or termination of this Agreement and any remedies relating thereto, will be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflicts of law rules requiring the application of different law.
14.3 Independent Contractors. The relationship of the Parties hereto is that of independent contractors. The Parties hereto are not deemed to be agents, partners or joint venturers for any purpose as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. At no time will any Party make commitments or incur any charges or expenses for or in the name of the other Party.
14.4 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except a Party may make such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to an affiliate or to a successor to substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction. Any permitted assignment will be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 14.4 will be null and void and of no legal effect.

14.6 Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall mean conditions beyond the control of the Parties, including without limitation, an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, and failure of plant or machinery (provided that such failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill, diligence, and prudence that would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and experienced person engaged in the same type of undertaking under the same or similar circumstances).
14.7 No Strict Construction; Headings. This Agreement has been prepared jointly and shall not be strictly construed against either Party. Ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement shall not be construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision. The headings of each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section.
14.8 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect without said provision. In such event, the Parties will in good faith negotiate a substitute clause for any provision declared invalid or unenforceable, which will most nearly approximate the intent of the Parties in entering this Agreement.
14.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which will be an original and both will constitute together the same document. Counterparts may be signed and delivered by facsimile, each of which will be binding when sent.
14.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforceable by any person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement.
