For a period of [***] years after the receipt of any such Confidential Information, except as expressly permitted hereunder, the receiving Party shall keep confidential all such Confidential Information of the other Party and will not disclose such Confidential Information of the other Party to Third Parties by publication or otherwise, except that either Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information, as needed, to its legal or financial advisors, under appropriate confidentiality and non-use restrictions. ONCOMED shall be able to disclose Confidential Information to its Affiliates and Sublicensees on a need to know basis for the performance of this Agreement, provided that such Affiliates and Sublicensees are bound by substantially equivalent confidentiality obligations as ONCOMED hereunder. Each Party further agrees not to use Confidential Information of the other Party for any purpose other than conducting research hereunder or exercising any rights granted to it or reserved by it hereunder. For the sake of clarity, MORPHOSYS agrees not to use Research Data, Research Inventions or Research Materials for any purpose other than conducting any activities permitted under Article 3 or Section 10.4(a) or 10.4(b). Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, upon request, each Party shall return to the other Party all copies of any of the requesting Party’s Confidential Information which is not the subject of a license granted hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the receiving Party’s obligations of confidentiality and nonuse herein shall not apply to any information which, as can be demonstrated by competent proof:

CONFIDENTIAL

(a)

is, at the time of disclosure by the disclosing Party hereunder, or thereafter becomes, a part of the public domain or publicly known or available through no fault or negligence of the receiving Party or any of its Sublicensees; or

(b)

was otherwise in the receiving Party’s or any of its Affiliates’ lawful possession prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality; or

(c)

was independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates, without use of the other Party’s Confidential Information; or

(d)

is lawfully disclosed to the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis by a Third Party who is not in violation of an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party relative to such information.

Information disclosed that is not in written or electronic form shall be subject to the terms of this Section 7.1 for a period of [***] and shall be subject to this Section 7.1 for a continuing period only if confirmed in writing to the other Party within [***] of initial disclosure specifying with particularity that such information is Confidential Information under this Section 7.1. Each Party may disclose the other’s Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in (i) filing, prosecuting or defending litigation or (ii) complying with applicable laws; provided, however, that if a Party is required to make any disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information, it will give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure requirement and will use reasonable efforts to assist such other Party in efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed and to limit the scope of such disclosure as much as possible.

7.2

Publicity. The Parties mutually agreed on a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement, which is attached hereto as Appendix 7.2. The Parties shall also be permitted hereunder to disclose the general nature of this Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain financing from Third Parties or potential collaborators, and to make such other disclosures as mutually agreed by the Parties. Once any written statement is approved for disclosure by both Parties, either Party may make subsequent public disclosures of the contents of such statement without the further approval of the other Party.

7.3

Publications. Each Party may wish to publish the results of research under this Agreement. In order to safeguard intellectual property rights, the Party wishing to publish or otherwise publicly disclose the results of such research shall first submit a draft of each proposed manuscript to the other Party for review, comment and consideration of appropriate patent action at least [***] prior to any submission for publication or other public disclosure. Within [***] of receipt of the pre-publication materials, such other Party shall advise the Party seeking publication as to whether a patent application will be prepared and filed or whether trade secret protection should be pursued and, if so, such other Party shall determine the appropriate timing and content of any such publications.

CONFIDENTIAL

7.4

ONCOMED acknowledges that the MORPHOSYS Technology represents highly valuable and Confidential Information of MORPHOSYS; that any unauthorized use or transfer of any part of the MORPHOSYS Technology may diminish its value and may irrevocably harm MORPHOSYS; and that if ONCOMED breaches any of the obligations on use of the MORPHOSYS Technology provided in this Agreement, MORPHOSYS can immediately seek equitable relief, including but not limited to injunctive relief, to protect MORPHOSYS’ interests, in addition to any other remedies MORPHOSYS may have at law.

7.5

In the event of any dispute resolution process carried out in accordance with Section (b) or Section (c) of Appendix 12.13, each Party agrees to provide to the other Party any non-confidential and confidential documentation requested by the other Party (subject to any privilege, e.g. attorney-client privilege, recognized under applicable law), which documentation is reasonably necessary to determine whether any material breach under this Agreement has occurred.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, as a center for research and education, JHU is interested in licensing PATENT RIGHTS (hereinafter defined) in a manner that will benefit the public by facilitating the distribution of useful products and the utilization of new methods, but is without capacity to commercially develop, manufacture, and distribute any such products or methods; and

WHEREAS, a valuable invention entitled “Mutagenesis with Trinucleotides” (JHU Ref. DM-9472), U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 07/868,489 filed on April 15, 1992, was developed during the course of research at JHU; and

WHEREAS, JHU has acquired through assignment all right, title and interest, with the exception of certain retained rights by the United States government, in said valuable invention; and

WHEREAS, Company desires to commercially develop, manufacture, use and distribute such products and processes throughout the world;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the following mutual covenants, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1 - DEFINITIONS

1.1 “PATENT RIGHTS” shall mean [***] and the invention disclosed and claimed therein, all continuations, continuations-in-part, divisions, and reissues thereof, and any corresponding foreign patent applications that may be filed in the future at the Company’s request and expense and any patents, patents of addition, or other equivalent foreign patent rights issuing, granted or registered thereon.

1.2 “LICENSED PRODUCTS” shall mean all products, the manufacture, use or sale of which is covered by any claim of one or more PATENT RIGHTS, including trinucleotide products and/or kits to be used by others in accordance with methods covered by any claim of one or more PATENT RIGHTS, and also including PROTEINS or OTHER PRODUCTS as defined in Paragraph 1.4.

1.4 “PROTEINS or OTHER PRODUCTS “shall mean proteins or other products generated by Company, AFFILIATED COMPANIES or its sublicensees that would not have been made but for the use of a material or method covered by any claim of one or more PATENT RIGHTS.

1.5 “NET SALES” shall mean gross sales revenues and fees received by Company, AFFILIATED COMPANY, and Company’s sublicensees from the sale of LICENSED PRODUCTS less trade discounts allowed, refunds, returns and recalls, and sales taxes. In the event that Company, AFFILIATED COMPANY or its sublicensee sells a LICENSED PRODUCT in combination with other active ingredients or components which are not LICENSED PRODUCTS (“Other Items”), the NET SALES for purposes of royalty payments on the combination shall be calculated as follows:

(a)

If all LICENSED PRODUCTS and Other Items contained in the combination are available separately, the NET SALES for purposes of royalty payments will be calculated by multiplying the NET SALES of the combination by the fraction A/A+B, where A is the separately available price of all LICENSED PRODUCTS in the combination, and B is the separately available price for all Other Items in the combination.

(b)

If the combination includes Other Items which are not sold separately (but all LICENSED PRODUCTS contained in the combination are available separately), the NET SALES for purposes of royalty payments will be calculated by multiplying the NET SALES of the combination by A/C, where A is as defined above and C is the invoiced price of the combination.

(c)

If the LICENSED PRODUCTS contained in the combination are not sold separately, the NET SALES for such combination shall be NET SALES of such combination as defined in the first sentence of this Paragraph 1.5. However, the royalty rate, paid on such combination NET SALES, as described in Paragraph 4.4, shall be reduced by [***] In no event shall the royalty rates be reduced by greater than [***]

The term “Other Items” does not include solvents, diluents, carriers, excipient or the like used in formulating a product.

1.6 “NET SERVICE REVENUE” shall mean the total revenue and fees received by Company and its AFFILIATED COMPANIES and sublicensees for providing services that utilize a LICENSED SERVICE(S) as part of the overall service provided.

1.7 “AFFILIATED COMPANY or AFFILIATED COMPANIES” shall mean any corporation, company, partnership, joint venture or other entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company. For purposes of this Paragraph 1.7, control shall mean the direct or indirect ownership of more than fifty percent (50%), the maximum percentage

as allowed by applicable law of (a) the stock shares entitled to vote for the election of directors; or (b) ownership interest.

1.8 “EXCLUSIVE LICENSE” shall mean a license whereby Company’s rights are sole and entire and operate to exclude all others, subject to rights retained by the United States government in accordance with P.L. 96-517, as amended by P.L. 98-620, and subject to the retained right of JHU to make, have made, provide and use for its and The Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Health Systems’ non-profit purposes LICENSED PRODUCTS and LICENSED SERVICE(S).

2.2 Company shall provide a copy of each such sublicense agreement to JHU promptly after it is executed.

ARTICLE 3 - PATENT INFRINGEMENT

3.1 Each party will notify the other promptly in writing when any infringement by another is uncovered or suspected.

3.2 Company shall have the first right to enforce any patent within PATENT RIGHTS against any infringement or alleged infringement thereof, and shall at all times keep JHU informed as to the status thereof.

This right to xxx for infringement shall not be used in an arbitrary or capricious manner. JHU shall reasonably cooperate in any such litigation at Company’s expense; in particular JHU shall make all those formal and truthful statements in favor of the Company that may be required by the laws of that country where the lawsuit for infringement shall be brought (e.g., JHU would confirm it is the applicant of PATENT RIGHTS and the licensor.).

3.3 If Company elects not to enforce any patent within the PATENT RIGHTS, then it shall so notify JHU in writing within six (6) months of receiving notice that an infringement exists, and JHU may, in its sole judgment and at its own expense, do so and control, settle, and defend such suit in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions hereof, and recover, for its own account, any damages, awards or settlements resulting therefrom.

3.4 Any recovery by Company under Paragraph 3.2 shall be deemed to reflect loss of commercial sales, and Company shall pay JHU a royalty in accordance with this Agreement on said recovery minus all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Company in connection with any such proceedings. If the cost and expenses exceed the recovery, then no royalty shall be paid on the recovery.

Title to all such patents and patent applications shall reside in JHU. JHU shall have full and complete control over all patent matters in connection therewith under the PATENT RIGHTS. The Company will provide payment authorization at least one month before an action is due. Failure to do so can be considered by JHU as a Company decision not to authorize an action. In any country where the Company elects not to have a patent application filed or to pay expenses associated with filing, prosecuting, or maintaining a patent application or patent, JHU may file, prosecute, and/or maintain a patent application or patent at its own expense and the Company thereafter shall not be licensed under such patent or patent application.

The Company agrees to accept the disclosure of said information which is marked as confidential at the time it is sent to Company and to employ all reasonable efforts to maintain the information secret and confidential, such efforts to be no less than the degree of care employed by the Company to preserve and safeguard the Company’s own confidential

information. The information shall not be disclosed or revealed to anyone except employees of the Company who have a need to know the information and who have entered into a secrecy agreement with the Company under which such employees are required to maintain confidential the proprietary information of the Company and such employees shall be advised by the Company of the confidential nature of the information and that the information shall be treated accordingly. The Company’s obligations under this Paragraph 5.3 shall not extend to any part of the information:

(a)

that can be demonstrated to have been in the public domain or publicly known and readily available to the trade or the public prior to the date of the disclosure; or

(b)

that can be demonstrated, from written records to have been in the Company’s possession or readily available to the Company from another source not under obligation of secrecy to JHU prior to the disclosure; or

(c)

that becomes part of the public domain or publicly known by publication or otherwise, not due to any unauthorized act by the Company.

If the breach or default is not corrected within said thirty (30) day period, the party not in default shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

7.11 This Agreement may be amended and any of its terms or conditions may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the authorized officials of the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. The failure of either party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect its right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either party of any condition or term in any one or more instances shall be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such condition or term or of any other condition or term.

7.12 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

7.13 In the event Company becomes insolvent and/or enters into a bankruptcy or any comparable proceedings, notice will be immediately provided to JHU in writing and the license agreement is automatically terminated.

7.14 Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Paragraphs 6.5, 6.7, 7.6, 7.8, and 7.9 shall survive termination of this Agreement. (However, the requirement of Paragraph

Schedule 4.2

CONFIDENTIAL

Redacted Version

LICENSE AGREEMENT

This License Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of February 1, 2002 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between XOMA Ireland Limited, a company with limited liability organized under the laws of the Republic of Ireland having offices at Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx (with its Affiliates, “XOMA”), and MorphoSys AG, a German company having offices at Xxxx-Xxxxxx-Xxx. 00, 00000 Xxxxxxxxxxx/Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx (with its Affiliates, “MORPHOSYS”).

BACKGROUND

A. XOMA is the owner or exclusive licensee of certain patent rights relating to bacterial cell expression, and MORPHOSYS wishes to acquire non-exclusive licenses under such patent rights; and

B. XOMA is willing to grant MORPHOSYS non-exclusive licenses, on the terms and conditions set forth below, in order to permit MORPHOSYS to engage in certain research, development and commercial activities.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants hereinafter recited, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

In this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth in this Article.

1.1. “Affiliate” means any corporation or other entity which is directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with a party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled” and “controlling”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the subject corporation or other entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise.

1.2. “Antibody Phage Display” means the authorized use of Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials to conduct Research and Development.

1.3. “Change in Control” means, with respect to a particular entity, any transaction or series of transactions as a result of which any person or group (as defined under the U.S.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of such entity’s equity securities or otherwise gains control of such entity.

1.4. “Confidential Information” means any proprietary or confidential information or material disclosed by a party to the other party pursuant to this Agreement, which is (i) disclosed in tangible form hereunder and is designated thereon as “Confidential” at the time it is delivered to the receiving party, or (ii) disclosed orally hereunder and identified as confidential or proprietary when disclosed and such disclosure of confidential information is confirmed in writing within thirty (30) days by the disclosing party.

1.5. “Dispose” means to transfer, assign, lease, or in any other fashion dispose of control, ownership or possession, but shall not mean to license or sell. “Disposition” shall have the correlative meaning.

1.6. “Immunoglobulin” means any molecule, including without limitation, full immunoglobulin molecules (e.g., IgG, IgM, IgE, IgA and IgD molecules) and ScFv, Fv and Fab molecules, that has an amino acid sequence by virtue of which it specifically interacts with an antigen and wherein that amino acid sequence consists essentially of a functionally operating region of an antibody variable region including, without limitation, any naturally occurring or recombinant form of such a molecule.

1.7. “Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials” means (i) any collection or library of polynucleotide sequences, created by and under the exclusive control of MORPHOSYS, which encodes at least one Immunoglobulin and which is contained in filamentous bacteriophage and/or bacteriophage or phagemid cloning vectors capable of propagation in bacteria; (ii) any collection or library of bacteriophage, created by or under the exclusive control of MORPHOSYS, wherein an Immunoglobulin is (a) expressed as a fusion protein comprising an Immunoglobulin or at least a functionally operating region of an antibody variable region and an outer surface polypeptide, or a fragment thereof, of a bacteriophage or (b) expressed separately and linked to an outer surface polypeptide, or a fragment thereof, of a bacteriophage; or (iii) any material required to generate any collection or library according to (i) and/or (ii), each of which under (i), (ii) and/or (iii) infringe, but for the license granted herein, the XOMA Patent Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, and without expanding the definition thereof, specifically excluded from the definition of Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials are (x) any article of manufacture or composition of matter suitable for display, expression or secretion of an Immunoglobulin in or from any organism or system other than bacteria and (y) any materials or composition of matter otherwise meeting the definition of Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials but created by or under the control of any entity, other than MORPHOSYS, engaged in the licensing, manufacture, sale, offer for sale, import or export of phage display services, products or materials; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any materials or composition of matter otherwise meeting the definition of Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials but created by or under the exclusive control of a MORPHOSYS Collaborator shall constitute Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials, but only to the extent derived by such

MORPHOSYS Collaborator exclusively from Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials created by or under the exclusive control of MORPHOSYS and properly transferred by MORPHOSYS to such MORPHOSYS Collaborator in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and such MORPHOSYS Collaborator acknowledges that the transfer restrictions and other provisions hereof apply thereto.

1.8. “Licensed Immunoglobulin” means any Immunoglobulin discovered, isolated or characterized by MORPHOSYS or a MORPHOSYS Collaborator (as defined below) through the use of Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials.

1.9. “Licensed Immunoglobulin Information” means any data, know-how or other information relating, concerning or pertaining to a Product, including, without limitation, data, know-how or other information characterizing or constituting such Licensed Immunoglobulin’s polynucleotide or amino acid sequence, purported function or utility, antigen binding affinity, or physical or biochemical property.

1.10. “MORPHOSYS Collaborator” means any person or entity (including a corporation or an academic institution) who is an authorized end-user of Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials, the intended recipient of Products or Licensed Immunoglobulin Information transferred from MORPHOSYS and/or a person or entity on whose behalf MORPHOSYS knowingly engages in Antibody Phage Display; provided, however, that such person or entity shall not be deemed to be a MORPHOSYS Collaborator unless and until the requirements of Section 2.4 are complied with. No person or entity shall be deemed to be a MORPHOSYS Collaborator if such person or entity is engaged in the out-licensing, commercial manufacture, sale, offer for sale, import for sale or export for sale of immunoglobulin or antibody phage display services, immunoglobulin or antibody phage display libraries, immunoglobulin or antibody phage display products or immunoglobulin or antibody phage display materials, unless, pursuant to a written agreement (other than this Agreement), executed after the Effective Date, XOMA has granted to such person or entity a valid license or covenant not to xxx under the XOMA Patent Rights which explicitly extends to the activities identified in this second to last sentence of Section 1.10. XOMA shall provide MORPHOSYS prompt written notice of those written agreements or covenants not to xxx which satisfy the requirements of the prior sentence. No person or entity may claim the status of MORPHOSYS Collaborator with respect to any acts or activities which are unrelated to the use of Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials provided by MORPHOSYS.

1.11. “Net Sales” means, in the case of the sale, either directly or through a Third Party, of any Product by or on behalf of MORPHOSYS or any joint venture or similar entity or arrangement in which MORPHOSYS is a participant (a “MORPHOSYS Selling Entity”), the aggregate gross sales proceeds derived by MORPHOSYS therefrom less (a) any sales or other taxes, assessments, charges or fees imposed by any government authority which are paid, directly or indirectly, by MORPHOSYS and (b) a discount from the gross sales proceeds to cover costs associated with MORPHOSYS’s sale of Product, as applicable, in respect of transport, insurance premiums, returns, discounts, other miscellaneous costs and expenses and

rebates actually allowed and taken, all determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. For the sake of clarity, it is understood that Net Sales does not include sales of Products developed by or solely on behalf of MORPHOSYS or a MORPHOSYS Collaborator unless sold by a MORPHOSYS Selling Entity. As used herein, “joint venture” means a legal entity in the nature of a partnership engaged in a joint undertaking for profit.

1.12. “Product” means any composition of matter or article of manufacture, including without limitation any diagnostic, prophylactic or therapeutic product, which (a) contains a Licensed Immunoglobulin; or (b) was discovered or created by or arose directly out of use of Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials or the conduct of Antibody Phage Display by MORPHOSYS or a MORPHOSYS Collaborator.

1.13. “Research and Development” means the identification, selection, isolation, purification, characterization, study and/or testing and/or use of a Product for any purpose, including, without limitation, the discovery and development of human therapeutics or diagnostics. Included within the definition of “Research and Development” shall be all in vitro screening or assays customarily performed in pre-clinical and clinical research and uses associated with obtaining FDA or equivalent agency regulatory approval. “Research and Development” shall not include commercial or industrial manufacture or any activities solely directed to the creation of such capacities.

1.14. “Research Quantities” means those quantities of a Licensed Immunoglobulin reasonably required for Research and Development purposes.

1.15. “Third Party” means any person or entity other than MORPHOSYS or XOMA.

1.16. “Valid Claim” means (i) a claim of an issued and unexpired patent included within the XOMA Patent Rights which has not been held invalid in a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal may be taken, and which has not been disclaimed or admitted to be invalid or unenforceable through reissue or otherwise, or (ii) a claim of a pending patent application within the XOMA Patent Rights.

1.17. “XOMA Patent Right(s)” means the patent applications and patents listed on Schedule 1.17 hereto and, solely to the extent any Valid Claim would cover or be included in the license grants provided for herein, all divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, applications claiming priority thereto, and substitutions thereof; all foreign patent applications corresponding to the preceding applications; all U.S. and foreign patents issuing on any of the preceding applications, including extensions, reissues and re-examinations; and any other patent rights owned by XOMA which XOMA has the right to license or sublicense and which would be infringed by the activities of MORPHOSYS contemplated hereunder but for this Agreement. XOMA Patent Rights shall also include (i) any improvements of the foregoing that are owned or controlled by XOMA and (ii) any patents or patent applications owned or controlled by XOMA containing a claim that is dominating over the foregoing patent rights (i.e., is necessarily infringed by the practicing of a claim in one of the foregoing applications).

ARTICLE 2

XOMA LICENSE TO MORPHOSYS

2.1. Grants. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, XOMA hereby grants to MORPHOSYS a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license (unless transferred under Section 8.2), without any right to sublicense, under the XOMA Patent Rights to:

(a) solely on its own behalf and on behalf of a MORPHOSYS Collaborator, make or have made Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials;

(b) solely on its own behalf and on behalf of a MORPHOSYS Collaborator and solely for Research and Development purposes, conduct Antibody Phage Display and use or have used Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials and generate, use and have used Licensed Immunoglobulin Information;

(c) solely on its own behalf and on behalf of a MORPHOSYS Collaborator, make or have made, use or have used, Research Quantities of a Licensed Immunoglobulin;

(d) solely on its own behalf and on behalf of a MORPHOSYS Collaborator, transfer Antibody Phage Display Materials, Research Quantities of a Product or Licensed Immunoglobulin Information to a MORPHOSYS Collaborator;

(e) solely on its own behalf and on behalf of a MORPHOSYS Collaborator, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(b), make, have made, use, have used, sell, offer to sell, have offered for sale, import, have imported, export and have exported Products; and

(f) solely on its own behalf, make or have made in commercial and/or industrial capacity, use, offer for sale, sell, import and export Products for use (i) in the treatment, prophylaxis, diagnosis or monitoring of a human disease state or condition or (ii) as research reagents. For the sake of clarity, the license granted in this Section 2.1(f) is personal to MORPHOSYS and is not to be used on behalf of any MORPHOSYS Collaborator or any other Third Party.

2.2. Covenant Not To Xxx. (a) XOMA covenants that it shall not assert, nor shall it permit any third party that obtains a right to enforce the XOMA Patent Rights to assert, a claim of infringement under the XOMA Patent Rights against MORPHOSYS, any MORPHOSYS Collaborator or any other entity subject to Section 2.4(c) solely to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the authorized use of Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials, Products or Licensed Immunoglobulin Information for activities or in a manner otherwise permitted under the provisions of this Agreement. The covenant not to xxx provided by this Section 2.2:

(i) shall not extend to infringement of the XOMA Patent Rights arising out of making or the means or methods used to make any amount of a Licensed Immunoglobulin or Product other than Research Quantities (except as authorized by Section 2.1(f));

(ii) may be terminated by XOMA in accordance with Article 7 as to any entity or person who has failed to materially discharge or comply with any applicable term of a written agreement between MORPHOSYS and a MORPHOSYS Collaborator provided for in Section 2.4; provided, that any such termination shall be retroactive to the date of the first notice of such failure given by MORPHOSYS to such entity or person (giving effect to any subsequent cure of such failure);

(iii) is personal to MORPHOSYS or, as applicable, the MORPHOSYS Collaborator or other entity subject to Section 2.4(c), and, except as provided for by Section 8.2, cannot be assigned or transferred; and

(iv) does not constitute a release or waiver of past, present or future infringement of the XOMA Patent Rights by MORPHOSYS or any Third Party, including, without limitation, any MORPHOSYS Collaborator acting outside of the scope of the written agreement with MORPHOSYS provided for in Section 2.4.

(b) In addition to, but without limiting, the covenant not to xxx provided by Section 2.2(a), XOMA hereby grants to Schering AG a non-exclusive and non-transferable license under the XOMA Patent Rights identical to, and limited by the scope of, the covenant not to xxx contained in Sections 2.2(a) (the “Direct License”). Solely to the extent its activities are otherwise authorized as those of a MORPHOSYS Collaborator under the applicable terms of this Agreement, the Direct License permits Schering AG to enjoy the benefits of the covenant not to xxx granted under Section 2.2(a) as if it were a direct licensee under the XOMA Patent Rights, provided, however, that the Direct License does not constitute an independent or free standing grant of a license and is expressly subject to and contingent upon the applicability of and compliance with the other provisions of this Agreement. The Direct License shall not be effective unless and until Schering AG delivers to XOMA a document, directly enforceable by XOMA, pursuant to which Schering AG (a) represents and warrants that it does and shall continue to meet the definition of MORPHOSYS Collaborator; and (b) agrees that it shall abide by the relevant limitations and obligations otherwise imposed upon MORPHOSYS Collaborators under this Agreement. The Direct License shall survive only as long as this Agreement remains in force and as to Schering AG has not been terminated.

2.3. No Implied Rights. Only the rights and licenses granted pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement shall be of any legal force or effect. No license or other rights shall be deemed to have been granted to MORPHOSYS or a MORPHOSYS Collaborator other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement. MORPHOSYS renounces and hereby quitclaims any implied rights to licenses under the XOMA Patent Rights that may arise by operation of this

Agreement or under applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the grants of rights made pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 do not include, and expressly exclude, the following:

(a) any right or license to engage in any activities on behalf of or in collaboration with any Third Party, other than a MORPHOSYS Collaborator;

(b) any right or license to make or have made any amount (other than Research Quantities or except as authorized under Section 2.1(f)) of a Licensed Immunoglobulin or Product by practicing the XOMA Patent Rights; provided, however, that MORPHOSYS or, as applicable, a MORPHOSYS Collaborator shall be permitted to make or have made any Product by any means of its selection other than those which otherwise infringe a Valid Claim of the XOMA Patent Rights; and/or

(c) any right to release any Third Party, including a MORPHOSYS Collaborator, from any claim of infringement under the XOMA Patent Rights.

Without limiting the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on MORPHOSYS any obligation to provide consideration for, or grant MORPHOSYS any access or other rights to, any know-how of XOMA.

2.4. Transfer Restrictions. (a) MORPHOSYS shall not (i) undertake any Antibody Phage Display Activities on behalf of a Third Party or (ii) Dispose of Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials, a Licensed Immunoglobulin, Licensed Immunoglobulin Information or the product of the practice of any method within the scope of the XOMA Patents (“Transferred Materials”) to any Third Party until (in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii)) such time as it has provided to such Third Party the redacted copy of this Agreement referred to in Section 4.2 and the form of notice set out at Schedule 2.4.

(b) If MORPHOSYS enters into a written arrangement with any Third Party arising out of or relating to activities as to which it or such Third Party does or intends to claim the benefits of any of the licenses or other grants provided for by this Agreement, such written arrangement shall contain provisions (i) pursuant to which the recipient of any Transferred Materials agrees to abide by each of the limitations, restrictions and other obligations provided for by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the restrictions on use of Transferred Materials for purposes other than Research and Development; (ii) implementing a covenant not to use Transferred Materials for any purpose other than for Research and Development purposes otherwise authorized by this Agreement; (iii) providing that the “first sale” doctrine does not apply to any Disposition; and (iv) permitting a MORPHOSYS Collaborator to further Dispose of Transferred Materials only to a Third Party who otherwise meets the definition of a MORPHOSYS Collaborator and who executes a written agreement in which it undertakes all of the obligations applied to the transferring party. XOMA shall be, and the agreements subject to this Section 2.4 shall provide that XOMA shall be, an intended third party beneficiary with respect to the foregoing provisions.

(c) The restrictions set forth in Sections 2.4(a)(ii) and 2.4(b)(iv) shall not apply to any Disposition of Products, Licensed Immunoglobulins or Licensed Immunoglobulin Information by MORPHOSYS or a MORPHOSYS Collaborator to a Third Party, a MORPHOSYS Selling Entity or any joint venture or similar entity or arrangement in which such MORPHOSYS Collaborator is a participant (each a “Directed Third Party”), where such Directed Third Party (i) performs services or conducts activities which are otherwise authorized under this Agreement and which are solely for the benefit of MORPHOSYS or such MORPHOSYS Collaborator and/or (ii) does not require and does not claim the benefit of the licenses or covenant not to xxx granted by XOMA under this Agreement, provided, however, that MORPHOSYS and any such MORPHOSYS Collaborator shall be responsible for ensuring compliance by any such Directed Third Party with all applicable terms of this Agreement. For the sake of clarity, nothing in this Section 2.4(c) shall constitute the grant of any rights or licenses under the XOMA Patent Rights to any Directed Third Party.

2.5. Reports, Records and Audits. (a) Thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first calendar quarter commencing after the Effective Date, MORPHOSYS shall deliver to XOMA a written report which shall specify the name, address and contact person for each and every MORPHOSYS Collaborator and any person or entity receiving Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials or a Licensed Immunoglobulin.

(b) Thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar year, commencing with the first calendar year to commence after the Effective Date, MORPHOSYS shall deliver to XOMA a written report which shall summarize with reasonable particularity the current status of activities or compositions of matter as to which MORPHOSYS claims the right of license hereunder.

(c) MORPHOSYS shall maintain records fully and properly reflecting those activities covered by this Agreement (including, without limitation, work done with the Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials) and/or to be reported to XOMA pursuant to Section 2.5(a) and (b) (the “Records”), in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for patent, regulatory and manufacturing purposes for at least three (3) years. Upon the written request of XOMA and not more than once in each calendar year, MORPHOSYS shall permit an independent consultant appointed by XOMA, at XOMA’s expense, to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of MORPHOSYS as may be reasonably necessary to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement, as well as the accuracy of the reports hereunder. MORPHOSYS shall certify any statements by MORPHOSYS personnel as to their accuracy and correctness. The consultant shall not be permitted to see or receive any specific information concerning targets or antibodies of either MORPHOSYS or any of its collaborators and shall disclose to XOMA only the results and conclusions of its review and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be shared by the consultant without the prior consent of MORPHOSYS unless disclosure is required by law, regulation or judicial order.

2.6. Ownership; Enforcement. At all times XOMA will retain ownership of the XOMA Patent Rights and may use and commercialize such XOMA Patent Rights itself or with any Third Party. XOMA retains the right, at its sole discretion, to enforce, maintain and

otherwise protect the XOMA Patent Rights. MORPHOSYS will reasonably cooperate with XOMA, at XOMA’s expense, with respect to any actions XOMA may choose to take related to the enforcement, maintenance or protection of the XOMA Patent Rights.

2.7. Oppositions and/or Appeals to Oppositions. MORPHOSYS hereby agrees not to enter into any opposition to and/or appeal from any decision by the patent authorities of any country on the XOMA Patent Rights and shall not assist or otherwise cooperate with another party in any such opposition or appeal.

2.8. Release From Past Infringement. XOMA releases MORPHOSYS from any claims, demands, and rights of action arising out of and/or based upon any act or omission committed by MORPHOSYS prior to the Effective Date, including, without limitation, claims of infringement under the XOMA Patent Rights (the “Release”) and XOMA releases each Third Party identified on Schedule 2.8 as a party on or prior to the Effective Date to an agreement set forth thereon from any claims, demands, and rights of action arising out of and based upon any infringement of the XOMA Patent Rights (the “Third Party Release”); provided, however, that the Release and Third Party Release provided for in this Section 2.8 shall extend only to claims, demands or rights of action existing as of the Effective Date and which arose solely out of those activities conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the agreements set forth on Schedule 2.8 as in effect on the Effective Date. Nothing in this Section 2.8 shall be deemed to be a release of any claim, demand or right of action XOMA may now or in the future have against Affitech AS, BioInvent Therapeutic AB, Biosite Incorporated, Cambridge Antibody Technology Limited, Crucell N.V., Dyax Corporation or any entity or person engaged in the out-licensing, commercial manufacture, sale, offer for sale, import for sale or export for sale of immunoglobulin or antibody phage display services, immunoglobulin or antibody phage display libraries, immunoglobulin or antibody phage display products or immunoglobulin or antibody phage display materials or any of their collaborators. For the sake of clarity, if any Third Party identified on Schedule 2.8 as a party on the Effective Date to an agreement set forth thereon has also collaborated with any other entity or person engaged in the out-licensing, commercial manufacture, sale, offer for sale, import for sale or export for sale of immunoglobulin or antibody phage display services, immunoglobulin or antibody phage display libraries, immunoglobulin or antibody phage display products or immunoglobulin or antibody phage display materials, including but not limited to those entities referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, then the release herein shall extend solely to the activities of such Third Party that are carried out pursuant to and in accordance with the agreement set forth on Schedule 2.8 to which it is a party as in effect on the Effective Date. The Release and the Third Party Release shall become irrevocable only upon receipt by XOMA of payment in full by MORPHOSYS of the amounts set forth in Section 3.1 and 3.3 and shall be revoked in their entirety and null and void ab initio, immediately and without further action of the parties, in the event such payment in full by MORPHOSYS is not received by XOMA on or prior to October 1, 2002, regardless of any payment received thereafter.

ARTICLE 3

PAYMENTS

3.1. License Fee. In consideration for XOMA’s execution of this Agreement, MORPHOSYS shall pay XOMA a one time, non-refundable license fee of Four Million United States Dollars (US$4,000,000), which shall be considered as a fee for license from the Effective Date forward. This license fee shall be paid in one payment to XOMA and in no event later than October 1, 2002, provided that MORPHOSYS agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to make such payment as soon as reasonably practicable.

3.2. Shares. (a) In full substitution for the payment obligations of MORPHOSYS pursuant to Section 3.1, MorphoSys may, until September 30, 2002, elect in its sole discretion to issue and transfer newly created MorphoSys shares (“New Shares”) to XOMA by using its authorized capital against contribution of the license granted in Section 2.1 of this Agreement (capital increase against contribution in kind). In this case, the Management Board (Vorstand) of MORPHOSYS will, with the approval of the Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat) of MORPHOSYS, resolve to issue the New Shares while excluding pre-emptive rights (the date of such resolution by the Management Board of MORPHOSYS, “Resolution Date”). The number of New Shares shall be calculated as follows:

US$4,800,000 converted into Euro according to the Exchange Rate

Relevant Share Price

; where,

Exchange Rate is the US$/Euro exchange rate published by Bloomberg one day prior to the Resolution Date;

Relevant Share Price is the price of MORPHOSYS shares traded on the Neuer Markt stock exchange as fixed in the Xetra afternoon auction (Xetra Nachmittagsauktion) one day prior to the Resolution Date; and

fractions of shares shall not be taken into account.

MORPHOSYS shall promptly notify XOMA of its election to issue New Shares. To the extent possible, MORPHOSYS will notify XOMA in advance of such decision. Subsequent to the resolution of the Management Board of MORPHOSYS to issue the New Shares, XOMA shall subscribe to the New Shares by executing a subscription certificate (Zeichnungsschein) in form and substance as attached hereto in Schedule 3.2.1. Pursuant to Sections 203,189 German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the New Shares will come into existence upon registration with the Commercial Register. MORPHOSYS shall obtain such registration with the Commercial Register of Munich and shall obtain admission for trading of the New Shares at the Neuer Markt stock exchange as soon as reasonably practicable. XOMA shall use commercially reasonable

efforts to take all necessary steps and render all declarations necessary and appropriate to implement the transactions as described in this subparagraph.

(b) MORPHOSYS may, until September 30, 2002, elect to pay the license fee in part in cash (this cash component, the “Cash Component”) and in part in New Shares. In this case, Section 3.1 shall apply with respect to the payment of the Cash Component and this Section 3.2 shall apply with respect to the payment in New Shares; provided that the number of New Shares shall be calculated as follows:

(US$4,800,000 converted into Euro according to the

Exchange Rate - Cash Component)

Relevant Share Price

; where,

Exchange Rate is the US$/Euro exchange rate published by Bloomberg one day prior to the Resolution Date;

fractions of shares shall not be taken into account.

(c) Attached hereto as Schedule 3.2.2 is a legal opinion of counsel of MorphoSys delivered to XOMA as of the date of this Agreement. If MorphoSys elects to pay the license fee in full or in part in New Shares pursuant to this Section 3.2, MORPHOSYS shall, upon registration of the New Shares with the Commercial Register, provide XOMA with an additional legal opinion of counsel of MORPHOSYS in form and substance as attached hereto in Schedule 3.2.3.

3.3. Release Payment. In consideration for the release provided by Section 2.8, MORPHOSYS shall pay XOMA a one time, non-refundable payment of One Million United States Dollars (US$1,000,000), which shall be applied retroactively as a fee for license from the first infringing use by MORPHOSYS through the Effective Date. This payment shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the receipt of a fully executed copy of the Agreement.

3.4. Milestones. Upon achievement of the following milestones with respect to each Product, MORPHOSYS shall pay XOMA the applicable milestone payments below:


Event	Payment
Filing of an investigational new drug application or equivalent	US$	100,000
First receipt of authorization or clearance to market	US$	250,000

For the sake of clarity, it is understood that the foregoing milestone payments shall only be due with respect to any Product developed by or on behalf of MORPHOSYS or any joint venture or similar entity or arrangement in which MORPHOSYS is a participant.

3.5. Royalties. During the term of this Agreement, MORPHOSYS shall pay to XOMA a royalty in cash equal to [*] percent ([*] %) of the Net Sales of any Product(s) in each calendar quarter, commencing with the first calendar quarter ending after the Effective Date. Royalties due under this Article 3 shall be payable on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis from the first commercial sale of such Product until the expiration of the last-to-expire XOMA Patent Right in such country with respect to which a Valid Claim covers the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, import or export of such Product.

3.6. Commercially Reasonable Efforts. MORPHOSYS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or receive any payments or other consideration due to it relating to any activities that would give rise to an obligation under Section 3.5.

3.7. Payments; Currency. All payments due hereunder shall be paid by wire transfer in United States dollars in immediately available funds to an account designated by XOMA. Payments required pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof shall be due and payable to XOMA when the corresponding milestone is achieved and shall be paid within thirty (30) days thereof. Payments required pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof shall be due and payable to XOMA when the corresponding Net Sales are recorded by MORPHOSYS (or any joint venture or similar entity in which MORPHOSYS is a participant) and shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the payment of any royalties hereunder, such conversion shall be made by using the exchange rate for the purchase of U.S. dollars quoted in the U.S. version of the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the calendar quarter to which such payments relate.

3.8. Payment Reports. MORPHOSYS shall make a written report to XOMA within thirty (30) days of the achievement of each of the milestones set forth in Section 3.4 with respect to each Product, stating in each such report the Product to which such milestone relates and the specific milestone achieved, including the relevant agency or other regulatory body. After the first commercial sale of a Product on which royalties are required to be paid hereunder, MORPHOSYS shall make quarterly written reports to XOMA within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter, stating in each such report, by country, the number, description, and aggregate Net Sales of each Product sold during the calendar quarter. XOMA shall treat all

such reports as Confidential Information of MORPHOSYS. Concurrently with the making of such reports, MORPHOSYS shall pay XOMA the amounts specified in Sections 3.4 and 3.5 hereof.

3.9. Payment Records and Inspection. MORPHOSYS shall keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable under this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept at the principal place of business of MORPHOSYS for at least three (3) years following the end of the calendar quarter to which they pertain. Upon the written request of XOMA and not more than once in each calendar year, MORPHOSYS shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally recognized standing selected by XOMA and reasonably acceptable to MORPHOSYS, at XOMA’s expense, to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of MORPHOSYS as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports hereunder for any year ending not more than thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of such request. The accounting firm shall disclose to XOMA only the results and conclusions of its review and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be shared by the accounting firm without the prior consent of MORPHOSYS unless disclosure is required by law, regulation or judicial order. Inspections conducted under this Section 3.9 shall be at the expense of XOMA, unless an underpayment exceeding two percent (2%) of the amount stated for the full period covered by the inspection is identified, in which case all out-of-pocket costs relating to the inspection will be paid immediately by MORPHOSYS. Any underpayments or unpaid amounts discovered by such inspections or otherwise will be paid immediately by MORPHOSYS, with interest from the date(s) such amount(s) were due at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month from the due date until paid in full.

3.10. No Admissions. The parties acknowledge and affirm that, as to any Third Party, the allocation of amounts set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement does not constitute an admission by either party either as to the damages actually suffered by XOMA with respect to any past infringement of the XOMA Patent Rights or respecting the calculation of a reasonable royalty by any court or trier of fact.

ARTICLE 4

Except as expressly provided herein, the parties agree that, for the term of this Agreement and for ten (10) years thereafter, the receiving party shall keep completely confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose except for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement any Confidential Information furnished to it by the disclosing party hereto, except to the extent that it can be established by the receiving party by written proof that such Confidential Information:

ARTICLE 6

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1. Indemnification. (a) MORPHOSYS agrees to indemnify, defend and hold XOMA and its directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Indemnified Parties” and each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys and professional fees and other costs of litigation), resulting from any claims, demands or causes of action by any party other than MORPHOSYS (each, a “Liability”) arising out of (i) the possession, manufacture, use, sale or other disposition of Product, Antibody Phage Display Materials, Licensed Immunoglobulin or the provisions of any service or goods relating thereto by MORPHOSYS or any customer, vendor or other representative of MORPHOSYS, whether based on breach of warranty, negligence, product liability or otherwise, (ii) the exercise of any right granted to MORPHOSYS pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) any claim by Biosite Incorporated, as set forth below in Section 6.1(b), except to the extent, in each case, that such Liability is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of XOMA.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any indemnification of XOMA by MORPHOSYS for any claim by Biosite shall only arise in the event that MORPHOSYS brings a claim against Biosite for damages arising out of Biosite’s license with MORPHOSYS, effective January 1, 2000, and as a result Biosite then brings a claim against XOMA for damages. MORPHOSYS’s liability under this Section 6.1(b) shall be limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees (in the event that MORPHOSYS does not assume the defense under Section 6.2(c)) and the actual amounts paid to Biosite attributable to MORPHOSYS’s claim against Biosite. MORPHOSYS’S INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS SECTION 6.1(B) SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY XOMA.

6.2. Procedure. To receive the benefit of indemnification under Section 6.1, an Indemnified Party must (a) promptly notify MORPHOSYS in writing of a claim or suit; provided, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve MORPHOSYS of its indemnification obligations except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of MORPHOSYS); (b) provide reasonable cooperation (at MORPHOSYS’s expense); and (c) tender to MORPHOSYS (and its insurer) full authority to defend or settle the claim or suit; provided that no settlement requiring any admission by the Indemnified Party or that imposes any obligation on the Indemnified Party shall be made without the Indemnified Party’s consent; and, provided, further that nothing herein shall be deemed to give MORPHOSYS any right to control any proceeding involving the XOMA Patent Rights or any claim XOMA may bring against any Third Party. MORPHOSYS shall not have any obligation of indemnification in connection with any settlement made without MORPHOSYS’s written consent. The Indemnified Party has the right to participate at its own expense in the claim or suit

and in selecting counsel therefor. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with MORPHOSYS (and its insurer), as reasonably requested.

ARTICLE 7

TERM AND TERMINATION

7.2. Termination Event. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon any material breach by the other Party of any material obligation or condition of the Agreement, effective fifteen (15) days after giving notice to the breaching party of such termination in the case of a payment breach and sixty (60) days after giving written notice to the breaching Party of such termination in the case of any other breach, which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail. The foregoing notwithstanding, if such breach is cured or shown to be non-existent within the aforesaid fifteen (15) or sixty (60) day period, the notice shall be deemed automatically withdrawn and of no effect and the notifying Party shall provide written notice to the breaching Party of the withdrawal.

7.3. Termination for Insolvency. If voluntary or involuntary proceedings by or against MORPHOSYS are instituted in bankruptcy under any insolvency law, or a receiver or custodian is appointed for MORPHOSYS, or proceedings are instituted by or against MORPHOSYS for corporate reorganization or the dissolution of MORPHOSYS, which proceedings, if involuntary, shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date of filing, or if MORPHOSYS makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or substantially all of the assets of MORPHOSYS are seized or attached and not released within sixty (60) days thereafter, XOMA may immediately terminate this Agreement effective upon notice of such termination.

7.4. Effect of Termination. (a) Termination of this Agreement shall not release any party hereto from any liability which, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to the other party or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination nor preclude either party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that the non-breaching party may be entitled to injunctive relief as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for any such breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.

(b) Upon any termination of this Agreement, MORPHOSYS and XOMA shall promptly return to the other party all Confidential Information received from the other party

(except that each party may retain one copy for its files solely for the purpose of determining its rights and obligations hereunder).

7.5. Survival. Sections 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 7.4 and 7.5, and Articles 4, 5, 6 and 8 of this Agreement shall survive any termination hereof.

7.6. Contested Validity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ixsys shall have no obligation to xxxxx any infringement of the B&K Patent Rights or to file any action to enforce the B&K Patent Rights against an infringing party in the Territory. Neither Xxxxxxxx, an Affiliate of Xxxxxxxx nor any Third Party shall take any action which (a) claims that the Agreement is invalid and/or (b) seeks or claims damages from Ixsys because Ixsys failed to xxxxx any infringement of the B&K Patent Rights or to file any action to enforce the B&K Patent Rights against any infringing party in the Territory.

royalties owed to Xxxxxxxx pursuant to Section 4.4. Ixsys shall reimburse Xxxxxxxx for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Xxxxxxxx in connection therewith; provided, however, that such expenses shall have been approved in advanced, in writing, by Ixsys, which approval shall not be withheld unreasonably.

10.5 Reimbursement to Ixsys. If Ixsys, its Affiliates or sublicensees incur any un-reimbursed costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (the “Reimbursement Amount”), in connection with the defense of any claim, demand or action by any Third Party alleging the infringement of a Third Party’s patent rights by the exercise of the license rights granted to Ixsys hereunder or the invalidity of any B&K Patent Rights (including, but not limited to, any allowed claims or issued patents in the Territory, including, but not limited to, any allowed claims or issued patents in the Territory, including, but not limited to, in Europe or any country thereof, Ixsys shall have the right to credit (a) an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Reimbursement Amount against any amounts owed by Ixsys to Xxxxxxxx under Section 4.4.2 (a) above, and (b) the Reimbursement Amount against any royalties owed to Xxxxxxxx under Section 4.4.1 above; provided, however, that (i) Ixsys shall not reduce the amount of the royalties paid to Xxxxxxxx under Section 4.4.1 above (after giving effect to any royalty reductions contemplated in Section 4.4.3 above) for such period, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the credits under clauses (a) and (b) above shall not exceed the Reimbursement Amount.

ARTICLE 11

TERMINATION

11.1 Expiration. Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.2 and 11.3 below, the Agreement shall expire on the date when all issued patents which constitute B&K Patent Rights have expired or have been held permanently revoked, unenforceable or invalid by a decision of a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, unappealable or unappealed within the time allowed for appeal, and which has not been admitted to be invalid or unenforceable through reissue or disclaimer or otherwise. Upon the expiration of the Agreement, (a) Ixsys shall have a paid-up, non-exclusive license under the B&K Know-How to use the processes and methods, and to make, use and sell the compositions, claimed in the B&K Patent Rights or which constitute B&K Know-How; and (b) the paid-up, non-exclusive licenses granted under Sections 3.1.2, 3.1.3 and 3.2.1 shall survive.

11.2 Termination by Ixsys. Ixsys may terminate the Agreement, in its sole discretion, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Xxxxxxxx.

11.3 Termination for Cause. Except as otherwise provided in Article 13, either party may terminate the Agreement upon or after the breach of any material provision of the Agreement by the other party if the other party has not cured such breach within ninety (90) days after notice thereof by the non-breaching party; provided, however, if any default is not capable of being cured within such ninety (90) day period and the other party is diligently undertaking to cure such default as soon as commercially feasible thereafter under the circumstances, the non-breaching party shall have no right to terminate the Agreement.

11.4 Effect of Expiration or Termination. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement, all rights relating to the grant of the B&K Patent Rights license to Ixsys and all obligations of Ixsys and Xxxxxxxx, including without limitation, Ixsys’ obligations to pay maintenance or royalty fees pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.4, shall terminate. The expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement shall not relieve the parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or earlier termination, including the payment of pro-rata amounts, if any, owed to Xxxxxxxx, and the provisions of Articles 9 and 12 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement.

ARTICLE 12

INDEMNIFICATION

12.1 Indemnification. Ixsys shall defend, indemnify and hold Xxxxxxxx harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, damages and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs arising out of any breach of the Agreement by Ixsys, or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Ixsys, its Affiliates or permitted sublicensees in the performance of its obligations contemplated by the Agreement.

12.2 Procedure. Xxxxxxxx promptly shall notify Ixsys of any liability or action in respect of which Xxxxxxxx intends to claim such indemnification, and Ixsys shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent Ixsys so desires, jointly with any other indemnitor similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by Ixsys; provided, however, that Xxxxxxxx shall have the right to retain his own counsel, at his sole expense, if representation of Xxxxxxxx by the counsel retained by Ixsys would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between Xxxxxxxx and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceedings. The indemnity agreement in this Article 12 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Ixsys, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. The failure to deliver notice to Ixsys within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve Ixsys of any liability to Xxxxxxxx under this Article 12, but the omission so to deliver notice to Ixsys will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to Xxxxxxxx otherwise than under this Article 12. Xxxxxxxx under this Article 12, his employees and agents, shall cooperate fully with Ixsys and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification.

ARTICLE 13

FORCE MAJEURE

Neither party shall be held liable or responsible to the other party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached the Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of the Agreement to the extent, and for so long as, such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected party including but not limited to fire, floods, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority or the other party.

ARTICLE 14

14.8 Waiver. The waiver by either party hereto of any right hereunder or the failure to perform or of a breach by the other party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

PRESS RELEASE

Martinsried/Munich, Germany, and Mountain View, CA., U.S.A., xx, 2006

MorphoSys and OncoMed Pharmaceuticals Sign Agreement for

Use of HuCAL GOLD in Cancer Research

MorphoSys AG (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: MOR; Prime Standard Segment, TecDAX) and U.S. based biopharmaceutical company OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today the signing of a license agreement on the use of MorphoSys’s HuCAL^® technology in the research and development of human therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of various cancers, including breast, lung, colon and prostate by targeting cancer stem cells. Under the terms of the agreement, MorphoSys grants OncoMed access to its proprietary antibody library HuCAL GOLD^® for use by Oncomed in its drug discovery programs. The two-year contract includes an option for OncoMed to develop HuCAL^®-derived therapeutic antibodies. The agreement includes an up-front payment and annual user fees. Further financial details were not disclosed.

Founded in August 2004, OncoMed Pharmaceuticals is discovering and developing monoclonal antibodies and proteins capable of destroying “cancer stem cells”, a recently discovered type of cell believed to seed the growth of cancers and underlie cancer’s ability to spread and take root in tissues. OncoMed is at the forefront of applying research from the University of Michigan to isolate, purify, and analyze cancer stem cells. The company has established a large library of antibodies as well as proteins capable of binding to the cell surface proteins expressed on cancer stem cells capable of inhibiting cancer stem cell growth. In September 2005 OncoMed announced the completion of a first round of funding for $14 million from venture capital firms including Xxxxxxxxx Venture Partners, US Venture Partners, Xxxxxxxxxxxx Ventures and The Vertical Group.

HuCAL GOLD^® is the latest and most powerful antibody library developed by MorphoSys. The technology utilizes an innovative concept for the in vitro generation of highly specific and fully human antibodies with unique optimization capabilities. It is ideally suited for a broad range of purposes reaching from target validation to drug development. OncoMed has the right to exercise an option for commercial development of therapeutic antibodies, in which case MorphoSys would receive exclusive license fees, milestone payments, as well as royalties.

CONFIDENTIAL

“We expect our agreement with MorphoSys to play an important role in expanding OncoMed’s ability for developing novel therapeutics to treat cancer by targeting cancer stem cells,” said Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, President and Chief Executive Officer of OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

“An important part of our strategy is to put our technology to work in creating the next generation of cancer drugs in selected partnerships,” commented Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Chief Executive Officer of MorphoSys. “OncoMed’s approach to fight cancer by aiming at cancer stem cells is innovative and very interesting both scientifically and commercially. We are delighted, to enable OncoMed with our HuCAL GOLD^® technology as the basis to explore their therapeutic efforts in this space.”
