Subject to the agreement of the Party owning the applicable IND (the “Transferring Party”), the operational lead Party (“Delegated Sponsor”) will be responsible for the obligations transferred to it (each, a “Delegated Responsibility” or collectively, “Delegated Responsibilities”), if any, by the Transferring Party in the Delegated Sponsor’s role as the designated contract research organization and as described in a document titled “The Transfer of Obligations of Client Under 21 CFR Subpart D,” or its equivalent foreign counterpart, which in each case the Parties shall execute and will be appended to this Agreement as Exhibit L.

sponsors under 21 CFR Subpart D or its foreign equivalent that is not expressly transferred to the Delegated Sponsor in accordance with this Section 4.2(f), the Transferring Party shall retain responsibility for such non-transferred obligation(s) in the applicable country or countries in accordance with its responsibility as a sponsor under the applicable IND and the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, with respect to each clinical study for which the Parties intend to designate a Delegated Sponsor, as a condition precedent to the transfer of any Delegated Responsibility to such Delegated Sponsor, the Delegated Sponsor agrees to the following:
(i) it will only use informed consents, investigator brochures and clinical trial agreements that are substantially in the form of the Delegated Sponsored templates of such documents which have been furnished to the Transferring Party and approved in advance in writing by the Transferring Party;
(ii) it will not subcontract the performance of any of the Delegated Responsibilities to a Third Party without the Transferring Party’s prior written consent, such consent to be given upon prompt consideration and not unreasonably withheld;
(iii) it will perform the Delegated Responsibilities in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, in compliance with applicable Law, Good Clinical Practice and Good Laboratory Practice; and

7. Section 4.4(a). Section 4.4(a) shall be amended by inserting the following sentences immediately following the second sentence thereto:
“The Transferring Party under Section 4.2(f) with respect to any IND it owns shall be solely responsible for all contacts and communications with the Regulatory Authorities with respect to such IND, provided, however, that the Transferring Party shall afford the Delegated Sponsor under Section 4.2(f) active participation in contacts and communications with such Regulatory Authorities. In addition, the Delegated Sponsor under such IND, shall notify the Transferring Party immediately, and in no event later than one (1) day, after it receives any contact or communication from any Regulatory Authority relating in any way to the Delegated Responsibilities or such IND and will provide the Transferring Party with copies of such communications within one (1) day of receipt of such communication by the Delegated Sponsor.”

“Any Losses involving a Third Party products liability claim or Action (other than such Losses entitled to indemnification under subsection (c)(i) or (c)(ii)) shall (a) be borne by Millennium to the extent such Losses were incurred (x) with respect to the Development of the Product conducted by Millennium, except to the extent of any claims related to manufacturing or design defects of OBI, or any Product Manufactured by Millennium or (y) with respect to the Commercialization of the Product in the U.S. and (b) be borne by OBI to the extent such Losses were incurred (x) with respect to the Development of the Product conducted by OBI, except to the extent of any claims related to manufacturing or design defects of Millennium, or any Product Manufactured by OBI or (y) with respect to the Commercialization of the Product in the License Territory.”
10. Exhibit L. The Agreement is amended by adding a new Exhibit L to be attached to the Agreement in accordance with Section 4.2(f).

4
developed or first discovered by Millennium or on behalf of Millennium by an academic collaborator, in each case, in connection with a research study that commenced in accordance with the Development Plan after the effective date of this Amendment No. 1 and involves the use of patient samples obtained under the 025 VELCADE clinical trial, shall be deemed “Millennium Marker Know-How”.
