ARTICLE 2
LICENSES
2.1 License Grant. Subject to the mutual covenants and other terms contained herein, including but not limited to Article 2.4, Spirogen grants to Kolltan under the Licensed Intellectual Property, Drug Moiety Development IP, Other Inventions, and Joint Development IP (a) an exclusive (even as to Spirogen), worldwide license in the Field, with the full right to sublicense (through multiple tiers and including, for the avoidance of doubt, to persons who are not Affiliates of Kolltan), to make (and have made), use, sell, offer for sale, and import the Licensed Product and (b) a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable (except to Third Party contractors and vendors performing work on behalf of Kolltan and except as provided in Section 11.3), worldwide license solely for research and development purposes to use (but not to sell, offer for sale, or import) Drug Moiety and PBDs provided by Spirogen to Kolltan in the development of a Licensed Product, including in connection with testing a Licensed Product against a control antibody. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not grant to Kolltan any right under the Licensed Intellectual Property, Other Inventions, or Drug Moiety Development IP to make (and have made), use, sell, offer for sale, or import any Drug Moiety, PBD, or Linker that is not part of the Licensed Product; provided that nothing in this Agreement precludes Kolltan from making (and having made), using, selling, offering for sale, or importing toxins conjugated to Antibodies by a linker, using toxins other than PBDs.
2.2 Additional Drug Moiety. Exhibit 3 attached hereto lists all Drug Moieties as of the Effective Date. In the event that Spirogen creates a new molecule containing one or more PBD(s), including one optionally containing a Linker, subsequent to the Effective Date (for the avoidance of doubt, a “new” PBD is one that was not in existence as of the Effective Date) that is not subject to a Third Party agreement or reserved by Spirogen at Spirogen’s discretion, [**]. In such event, (a) if Spirogen Controls other Patents disclosing and/or claiming such new molecule, [**].
2.3 Replacement Target. In the event that Kolltan determines, prior to or at the earlier of (a) completion of preclinical toxicology, including data analysis, with respect to an Antibody that Specifically Binds the Target, and (b) [**] from the Effective Date, that Kolltan no longer wishes to pursue the Target, Kolltan may elect in writing to Spirogen to pursue the Replacement Target. In such instance, Kolltan shall no longer be licensed under this Agreement with respect to an ADC Drug Reagent having an Antibody that Specifically Binds KIT but thereafter shall be licensed under this Agreement with respect to an ADC Drug Reagent that has an Antibody that Specifically Binds the Replacement Target, and Kolltan agrees, in such circumstance, not to pursue work on an ADC Drug Reagent having an Antibody that Specifically Binds KIT utilizing materials provided by Spirogen.
2.4 License Restriction. Kolltan recognizes that Spirogen is party to certain agreements prior to the Effective Date (the “Pre-Existing Agreements”) and may enter into other agreements not in conflict with this Agreement in the future. Accordingly, Kolltan understands and agrees that the license granted in this Agreement is restricted to Licensed Products that Specifically Bind the Target (or Replacement Target if selected) licensed hereunder and that no license is given or implied under the Licensed Intellectual Property with respect to any PBD or Drug Moiety alone or conjugated to an Antibody that does not Specifically Bind the Target or Replacement Target as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, Spirogen may grant licenses to a Third Party under the Licensed Intellectual Property for any purpose provided it does not license rights to any products that Specifically Bind the Target or Replacement Target as the case may be.
2.5 Work Plan and Spirogen Services. The Parties shall agree to a work plan for the period from the Effective Date through the later of (a) [**], (b) if Kolltan designates the Replacement Target, then [**] months from the date of such designation, or (c) if Spirogen provides Kolltan with a new Drug Moiety pursuant to Section 2.2, then [**] months from the date of such provision (the later of (a), (b) and (c), the “Work Plan End Date”), substantially as set forth in Exhibit 2 (the “Work Plan”), that will set forth the services to be provided to Kolltan by Spirogen, including consultation and the transfer of Drug Moiety; provided that Kolltan may terminate, in whole or in part, the services to be provided under the Work Plan (without terminating this Agreement) at any time upon written notice to Spirogen. Spirogen shall provide reasonable assistance (including making its personnel reasonably available for meetings or teleconferences to answer questions and provide technical support) to Kolltan or its designees with respect to the use of the Licensed Intellectual Property in accordance with the licenses granted to Kolltan hereunder and reasonable assistance to enable Kolltan to transfer certain activities to Third Party manufacturers and other Third Party service providers, all of which shall be provided at the rate set forth in Article 3.2 below. The services and all deliverables to be provided by Spirogen to Kolltan pursuant to the Work Plan will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with the level of service provided by Spirogen to its other licensees and collaboration partners and Spirogen’s and its Affiliates’ own internal programs. Spirogen shall provide Kolltan with materials specified in the Work Plan in amounts and at times specified therein. All material shall be shipped FCA [LOCATION OF SHIPPING] (Incoterms 2010) to Kolltan. The Parties shall use Diligent Efforts to complete the activities described in the Work Plan, unless changed or terminated. Any amendments to the Work Plan shall only be effective if agreed to in writing by both Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party shall be obliged to extend the Work Plan beyond the Work Plan End Date. Kolltan shall pay Spirogen
under the Work Plan as provided in Section 3.2 below. Spirogen shall provide a progress report [**] that details the progress Spirogen is making in fulfillment of its services under the Work Plan. Such reports shall also set forth the results, information, and data generated by Spirogen in performing the services under the Work Plan, and Spirogen shall provide such additional information and data (and provide Kolltan with access to any underlying records or documents) with respect to the services as Kolltan may request.
2.6 Diligent Efforts. Kolltan shall use Diligent Efforts to (a) develop and commercialize at least [**], and (b) file an IND for [**] within (i) thirty-six (36) months after the Effective Date (if a Replacement Target is not selected) or (ii) thirty-six (36) months after formal designation of a Replacement Target pursuant to the process set forth in Section 2.3, if applicable; provided that Spirogen acknowledges and agrees that Kolltan’s ability to comply with the foregoing is subject to Spirogen fulfilling its obligations under the Work Plan. Kolltan shall provide a progress report [**] that details the progress Kolltan is making in fulfillment of this provision.
2.7 Reservation of Rights. Spirogen reserves all rights not specifically granted under this Article 2, including but not limited to Spirogen’s rights to any PBD and/or Linker that is not part of a Drug Moiety. In particular, Spirogen shall be free to dispose of its PBD and Linker technology, at Spirogen’s sole discretion, in any manner that is not in conflict with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Spirogen agrees that it will not grant a license to any Affiliate or any Third Party to, and Spirogen itself will not, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, or import a PBD, or a drug moiety or antibody-drug conjugate containing a PBD, for the purpose of targeting the Target (unless and until a Replacement Target is designated) or Replacement Target (unless and until Kolltan’s option to designate a Replacement Target expires under Section 2.3 without Kolltan having exercised the option).
ARTICLE 3
FINANCIAL TERMS
3.1 Initial Payment. In consideration of the rights granted under Section 2, no later than [**] days after the Effective Date, Kolltan shall issue to Spirogen, on a one-time basis, 2,500,000 shares of Kolltan Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001 par value (“Series C Preferred Stock”). In connection with such issuance, Spirogen shall become party to the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, dated March 1, 2012, among Kolltan and certain other stockholders of Kolltan.

All invoices shall be due within [**] days of receipt, except that Kolltan may withhold any amounts disputed in good faith. Spirogen shall at its own cost make and retain, during the Term and for a period of [**] thereafter, records (in form and substance reasonable acceptable to Kolltan) of all services performed by Spirogen pursuant to the Work Plan and all costs related thereto. Spirogen shall permit representatives of Kolltan to audit,
inspect, and copy [**] per year during regular business hours, during the Term and for [**] thereafter, the books, records, and accounts of Spirogen to the extent that such books, records, and accounts pertain to or otherwise relate to the performance of such services, including any costs incurred for or charged to Kolltan.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each of the milestones set forth above in Sections 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.4, and 3.3.5 will be payable only once regardless of how many Licensed Products or how many times Kolltan may achieve each milestone event; (ii) the milestone set forth above in Section 3.3.3 will be payable only once with respect to each indication regardless of how many Licensed Products may achieve such milestone event with respect to the same indication; and (iii) each of the foregoing milestones in this Section 3.3 shall only be payable with respect to a Licensed Product, the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, or importation of which is covered or claimed by a Valid Claim of Licensed Intellectual Property, ADC Development IP, Drug Moiety Development IP, or Joint Development IP. For purposes of determining what is a new indication under Section 3.3.3, an indication will be deemed a “new indication” based on the classification of a disease originating from a single cell type such as AML or GIST; provided that the “new indication” must have a separate histology than any indication with respect to which prior milestones were paid (e.g., sub-categories such as first-line to second-line therapies or stage 1 and stage 3 would not be deemed new indications).
3.4 Royalties. Kolltan shall pay to Spirogen a royalty in the amount of [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales of any Licensed Product, whether such Net Sales are by Kolltan, its Affiliates or sublicensees; and Kolltan shall pay such royalties, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis and on a country-by-country basis, in a given country until the later of (a) the date on which the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, or importation of such Licensed Product is no longer covered by a Valid Claim of a Patent in such country contained in the Licensed Intellectual Property, the Drug Moiety Development IP, the ADC Development IP, or the Joint Development IP and (b) the expiration of Regulatory Exclusivity (if any) conferred upon such Licensed Product in such country (collectively, the “Royalty Term”). In the event that, on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, (i) the making (and having made), using, selling, offering for sale, and importing of a Licensed Product is not covered in such country by a Valid Claim of a Patent in the Licensed Intellectual Property, the Drug Moiety Development IP, the ADC Development IP, or the Joint Development IP; and (ii) the Regulatory Exclusivity conferred on such Licensed Product in such country is attributed to the Antibody alone, the royalty due hereunder shall be reduced by [**]% for the remainder of the Royalty Term with respect to such Licensed Product.
3.5 Royalty Reports and Payments. Commencing with the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product by Kolltan or its authorized sublicensee under this Agreement, Kolltan shall make written reports to Spirogen within [**] days after the end of each calendar quarter, stating in each such report the Net Sales in US Dollars of each Licensed Product sold during such
quarter by Kolltan or its sublicensees and the calculation of royalty payments due to Spirogen on such Net Sales. Simultaneous with the delivery of the report required in this Section, Kolltan shall pay to Spirogen the total royalties, if any, due for the period of such report. If no royalties are due, Kolltan shall so report. If Kolltan receives payment in a currency other than US Dollars for which a royalty is owed under this Agreement, then the payment will be converted into US Dollars at the conversion rate for the foreign currency as published in the eastern edition of the Wall Street Journal as of the last business day of the calendar quarter in which the payment was received by Kolltan.
3.6 Payments to Spirogen. Any and all payments due, or securities to be issued, under this Agreement to Spirogen shall be made or issued to Spirogen SARL (Bermuda Branch) at Cumberland House, 0 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx XX 12 Bermuda, or at such location designated by Spirogen in writing at least [**] days prior to the relevant payment due date.
3.7 Restricted Securities; Absence of Intent to Distribute. Spirogen represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined for purposes of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Spirogen understands that any shares of Kolltan capital stock issued pursuant to this Article 3 will not be registered under the Securities Act for the reason that the sales provided for herein are exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4 of the Securities Act and that Kolltan’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on Spirogen’s representations set forth herein. Spirogen understands that any such shares of Kolltan capital stock may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering such shares or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the shares must be held indefinitely. Spirogen represents and covenants that, to the extent it acquires shares of Kolltan capital stock pursuant to this Article 3, it will be acquiring such shares for its own account and not with a present view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Spirogen consents to the placement of the following legend on each certificate for such shares:
“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR SOLD UNLESS (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT IS THEN IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT THERETO, (ii) A WRITTEN OPINION FROM COUNSEL FOR THE ISSUER OR COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER HAS BEEN OBTAINED TO THE EFFECT THAT NO SUCH REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED, OR (iii) A ‘NO ACTION’ LETTER OR ITS THEN EQUIVALENT HAS BEEN ISSUED BY THE STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER OR SALE.”
ARTICLE 4
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
4.1 Prosecution and Maintenance.
4.1.1 Licensed Intellectual Property. Spirogen shall, at its sole discretion, have the right (and the obligation) to prosecute and maintain Patents within the Licensed Intellectual Property with reasonable commercial care taking into account the value of such Licensed Intellectual Property to Kolltan. Spirogen will pay any costs and fees for prosecution and maintenance of the Licensed Intellectual Property. For the avoidance of doubt, Spirogen may, at its sole discretion, abandon, refile, amend or otherwise prosecute patent applications in the Licensed Intellectual Property, with reasonable commercial care taking into account the value of such Licensed Intellectual Property to Kolltan.
4.1.2 Development IP.
(a) Antibody Development IP. Any Antibody Development IP shall be solely owned by [**], regardless of inventorship, as between the Parties. [**] shall, at its sole discretion and at its sole expense, have the sole right to prosecute and maintain the Antibody Development IP. [**] agrees to assign and does hereby assign to [**] interest in any Antibody Development IP.
(b) Drug Moiety Development IP. Any Drug Moiety Development IP shall be solely owned by [**], regardless of inventorship, as between the Parties. [**] shall, at its sole discretion and its sole expense, have the sole right to prosecute and maintain the Drug Moiety Development IP. [**] agrees to assign and does hereby assign to [**] interest in any Drug Moiety Development IP.
(c) ADC Development IP. Any ADC Development IP shall be solely owned by [**], regardless of inventorship, as between the Parties. [**] shall, at its sole discretion and at its sole expense, have the sole right to prosecute and maintain the ADC Development IP. [**] agrees to assign and does hereby assign to [**] interest in any ADC Development IP.
(d) Joint Development IP. Any Joint Development IP shall be owned jointly by the Parties.
(i) Subject to the licenses granted under this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.1), each Party shall have the right to practice and exploit any Joint Development IP without the duty of accounting to any other Party or seeking consent (for licensing, assigning, or otherwise exploiting Joint Development IP) from any other Party by reason of the joint ownership thereof; and each Party hereby waives any right it may have under the laws of any jurisdiction to require any such approval or accounting, and, to the extent there are any applicable laws that prohibit such a waiver, each Party will be deemed to so consent. Each Party agrees to be named as a party, if necessary, to bring or maintain a lawsuit involving Joint Development IP.
(ii) [**] shall be responsible at its sole cost for prosecution and maintenance of any patent application filed with respect to Joint Development IP and any patents issuing therefrom (collectively, a “Joint Patent”), with reasonable commercial care taking into account the value of such Joint Patent to [**] shall keep [**] reasonably informed of [**] prosecution and maintenance activities and shall provide [**] a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such filing and prosecution efforts regarding the Joint Patents. [**] shall
provide [**] with a copy of all material communications from any patent authority regarding such Joint Patents and shall provide drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses for [**] to review and comment thereon. [**] shall consider in good faith [**] comments on such filing before submitting such filing to the relevant patent authority. [**] shall consult with [**]before taking any action that would have a material adverse impact on the scope of claims within the applicable Joint Patents, including any action that would abandon subject matter or narrow the scope of claims. If [**] determines in its sole discretion to not prosecute, to abandon, or otherwise to not maintain any Joint Patent, then [**] shall provide [**] written notice of such determination at least [**] days before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment and shall provide [**] with the opportunity to prosecute and maintain such Joint Patent, in which event (i) such Joint Patent shall not be deemed Joint Development IP under this Agreement, and (ii) [**] shall assign such patent or patent application to [**]. [**] shall, at its sole discretion and its sole expense, thereafter have the right to prosecute and maintain such assigned Patent.
(e) Prosecution Assistance. Each Party shall provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation in the patent prosecution efforts provided above in this Section 4.1.2, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution.
(f) No Filing. Kolltan shall not, during the Term, file any patent application in any jurisdiction specifically claiming a PBD or Drug Moiety conjugated to an Antibody other than an Antibody that Specifically Binds the Target or the Replacement Target or uses thereof; provided that the foregoing prohibition shall not apply to any Patent filed prior to the Effective Date or any patents issuing therefrom or claiming priority thereto, anywhere in the world, together with any extensions (including patent term extensions and supplementary protection certificates) and renewals thereof, reissues, reexaminations, substitutions, confirmation patents, registration patents, invention certificates, patents of addition, renewals, divisionals, continuations, and continuations-in-part (only to the extent the claims of such continuations-in-part are supported by the disclosure in such patents or patent applications filed prior to the Effective Date to which they claim priority) of any of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, any claim in a continuation-in-part application that is supported by the disclosure in the continuation-in-part application but is not supported by the disclosure in such patents or patent applications filed prior to the Effective Date to which they claim priority would be subject to the prohibition of this Section 4.1.2(f).
(g) Other Inventions. Ownership of any invention (including any intellectual property rights with respect to such invention) that is not Antibody Development IP, Drug Moiety Development IP, ADC Development IP, Joint Development IP, or Licensed Intellectual Property and that is conceived and/or reduced to practice under the Work Plan (collectively, the “Other Inventions”) shall be determined under the principles of [**]. In the case of such Other Inventions, if Spirogen is the owner, the Other Invention shall be licensed under Section 2.1, and, if Kolltan is the owner, the Other Invention shall be subject to a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to Spirogen for any use except with respect to Licensed Product or Antibody that Specifically Binds Target or Replacement Target. Any other intellectual property not addressed in this Section 4.1.2 or otherwise licensed hereunder shall not be subject to this Agreement.
(h) [**]. Inventorship with respect to ADC Development IP, Antibody Development IP, Drug Moiety Development IP, and Joint Development IP shall be determined under principles of [**], with ownership being determined as set forth in this Section 4.1.2.
(i) Assignment Assistance. Each Party agrees to execute all documents reasonably necessary to effect the assignments described in this Section 4.1.2 or the recordation thereof, including, to the extent that an employee or agent of one Party is an inventor named on one or more Patents covered by this Section 4.1.2, requiring such employee or agent to execute such documents, at no cost to the other Party.
(j) Disclosure. [**] shall promptly disclose to [**] all ADC Development IP, Antibody Development IP, and Joint Development IP, and [**] shall promptly disclose to [**] all Drug Moiety Development IP, ADC Development IP, and Joint Development IP, including all invention disclosures or other similar documents submitted to such Party by its employees, agents or independent contractors describing such inventions. Such Party shall also respond promptly to reasonable requests from the other Party for more information relating to such inventions. A Party making a disclosure under this Subsection may redact any information outside the scope of the rights granted under this Agreement.
(k) Spirogen SARL. Any and all assignments to Spirogen of intellectual property under this Section 4.1.2 shall be assigned to Spirogen SARL or its successor-in-interest in the event of an assignment pursuant to Article 11.3 below.
(l) Inventions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the definitions ADC Development IP, Antibody Development IP, Drug Moiety Development IP, Joint Development IP, and Other Inventions are separate, non-overlapping definitions, and no invention is intended to be included in more than one definition.
(m) Determination of Whether a Compound Is a PBD. Both Parties recognize the desire to limit unnecessary disclosure of Confidential Information between the Parties; however, in order to comply with the terms and conditions of, or exercise rights under, this Agreement, the Parties may need to know whether certain compounds or molecules are PBDs, as defined under this Agreement. Therefore, if Kolltan wishes to pursue patent protection on, or otherwise needs to understand how to comply with its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement with respect to, a pyrrolobenzodiazepine molecule or a compound in which a pyrrolobenzodiazepine molecule is a part, Kolltan may provide in writing the chemical structure of such pyrrolobenzodiazepine molecule to the Evaluator and request that the Evaluator inform Kolltan as to whether such designated pyrrolobenzodiazepine molecule is a PBD as defined in this Agreement. Spirogen shall cause the Evaluator to provide a written response to Kolltan’s inquiry within [**] days of receipt by the Evaluator of such inquiry. Such written response shall indicate whether the designated pyrrolobenzodiazepine molecule is a PBD (as defined in this Agreement) and shall provide either a patent publication number or a copy of an unpublished patent application (with irrelevant information redacted) in support thereof. In no event shall the Evaluator disclose the identity of, characteristics of, or any information about, the designated pyrrolobenzodiazepine molecule to Spirogen. To the extent that the Evaluator confirms that such designated pyrrolobenzodiazepine molecule is a PBD (as defined in this Agreement), all terms of this Agreement that relate to PBDs shall apply to such molecule.
Spirogen shall provide to, and shall cause the Evaluator to keep, a current list of PBDs as defined in this Agreement. If there is a deadline for filing a patent application or some other reason for requiring a response from the Evaluator in less than [**] days, Kolltan will notify Spirogen, and Spirogen will use good faith efforts to cause the Evaluator to respond more quickly. For the purposes of this section, “Evaluator” means (i) [**] or (ii) any successor to [**] identified by Spirogen, which successor shall be an independent Third Party patent attorney retained solely for purposes of determining the rights to compounds and molecules as between Spirogen and its various licensees and collaborators and who personally, and whose law firm, is not performing any other legal work for Spirogen or its Affiliates.
4.1.3 Rights to Data. Any data generated by Kolltan using the Licensed Intellectual Property in conceiving and/or reducing to practice a PBD conjugated to a targeting agent shall be provided to Spirogen (provided that it can be disclosed without breach of a pre-existing obligation to a Third Party) and may be used by Spirogen in prosecuting its own intellectual property and/or for general business purposes; provided that (a) such data must be “anonymized” as reasonably required by Kolltan for confidentiality purposes; and (b) any use of such “anonymized” data shall be subject to the obligations to have such use reviewed as provided in Section 6.2 below (even if such use is not a publication or disclosure as described in Section 6.2 and even if such use is in connection with prosecution of intellectual property).
4.2 Non-Solicitation. The Parties agree that during the Term and for [**] months thereafter, neither Party shall directly or indirectly solicit (other than through a general solicitation to which an individual employee responds) for employment any scientist, member of management or any other individual who is or was employed by the other Party or its Affiliates.
4.3 Enforcement Rights for Infringement by Third Parties.
4.3.1 Notice. Each Party shall promptly notify, in writing, the other Party upon learning of any actual or suspected infringement of the Licensed Intellectual Property, Antibody Development IP, Drug Moiety Development IP, ADC Development IP, or Joint Development IP (“Infringement”), or of any claim of invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of the Licensed Intellectual Property, Antibody Development IP, Drug Moiety Development IP, ADC Development IP, or Joint Development IP. If [**] is the party receiving such notice with respect to Licensed Intellectual Property, Drug Moiety Development IP, or Joint Development IP, [**] shall provide to [**] all evidence in [**] possession pertaining to the actual or suspected infringement, or claim of invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement that it can disclose without breach of a pre-existing obligation to a Third Party or waiver of a privilege; and, if [**] is the party receiving such notice with respect to Antibody Development IP, ADC Development IP, or Joint Development IP, [**] shall provide to [**] all evidence in [**] possession pertaining to the actual or suspected infringement, or claim of invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement that it can disclose without breach of a pre-existing obligation to a Third Party or waiver of a privilege.
4.3.2 Enforcement Actions.
(a) Licensed Intellectual Property. Spirogen shall have the sole right and authority to enforce the Licensed Intellectual Property and to defend against any charge that such
Licensed Intellectual Property is invalid or unenforceable, with reasonable commercial care taking into account the value of such Licensed Intellectual Property to Kolltan; and Kolltan agrees to be joined as a party, if necessary, at the expense of Spirogen. If the Infringement of the Licensed Intellectual Property involves the Licensed Product (including an Infringement with respect to Third Party’s manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, or importation of a product competitive with the Licensed Product), then Spirogen shall have an obligation to enforce the Licensed Intellectual Property; provided that, if the Parties do not agree as to whether there is actual infringement, then the Parties shall provide sufficient information for a determination of infringement under such circumstances as then exist to a law firm mutually selected by the Parties, such law firm not representing either party at the time or at any time in the past. The Parties shall pay the fees and costs of such law firm equally. If such law firm determines that there is infringement of one or more Patents of the Licensed Intellectual Property and that such Patent is valid and enforceable, then Spirogen shall be obligated to enforce such Patent or Patents; otherwise Spirogen may, in its sole discretion, determine not to enforce.
(b) Drug Moiety Development IP & Joint Development IP. [**] shall have the first right and authority to enforce the Drug Moiety Development IP and Joint Development IP and to defend against any charge that such Drug Moiety Development IP or Joint Development IP is invalid or unenforceable, with reasonable commercial care, and [**] agrees to be joined as a party, if necessary, at the expense of [**] shall have a period of [**] days after its receipt or delivery of notice of infringement to elect to so enforce any such applicable Drug Moiety Development IP or Joint Development IP. If [**] does not so elect, [**] shall so notify [**] in writing, and [**] shall have the right to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable Drug Moiety Development IP or Joint Development IP with respect to such Infringement in the Territory by its own counsel, and [**] agrees to be joined as a party, if necessary, at the expense of [**] and to provide reasonable assistance to [**], at the expense of [**]. The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts.
(c) Antibody Development IP. [**] shall have the sole right and authority to enforce the Antibody Development IP and to defend against any charge that such Antibody Development IP is invalid or unenforceable; and [**] agrees to be joined as a party, if requested by [**], at the expense of [**].
(d) ADC Development IP. [**] shall have the first right and authority to enforce the ADC Development IP and to defend against any charge that such ADC Development IP is invalid or unenforceable. [**] shall have a period of [**] days after its receipt or delivery of notice of infringement to elect to so enforce any such applicable ADC Development IP. If [**] does not so elect, [**] shall so notify [**] in writing, and [**] shall have the right to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable ADC Development IP with respect to such Infringement in the Territory by its own counsel, and Kolltan agrees to be joined as a party, if necessary, at the expense of [**] and to provide reasonable assistance to [**], at the expense of [**]. The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts.
4.3.3 Settlement.
(a) Spirogen shall have the sole right and authority to settle any dispute involving the Licensed Intellectual Property; provided that, if any such settlement would materially alter Kolltan’s rights under this Agreement (including the right to sell Licensed Products), then Kolltan’s written consent to the settlement shall be required.
(b) The enforcing Party shall have the sole right and authority to settle any dispute involving the Drug Moiety Development IP, ADC Development IP, or Joint Development IP; provided that the enforcing Party will consult with, and give reasonable consideration to the comments of, the non-enforcing Party; provided further, if any such settlement would materially alter Kolltan’s rights under this Agreement (including the right to sell Licensed Products), then Kolltan’s written consent to the settlement shall be required.
4.3.4 Costs and Expenses. Spirogen shall bear all costs and expenses, including but not limited to litigation expenses, related to enforcement actions with respect to the Licensed Intellectual Property. The enforcing Party shall bear all costs and expenses, including but not limited to litigation expenses, related to enforcement actions with respect to the Drug Moiety Development IP, ADC Development IP, or the Joint Development IP.
4.3.5 Damages. All damages, amounts received in settlement, judgment or other monetary awards recovered in an action to enforce the Licensed Intellectual Property, Drug Moiety Development IP, ADC Development IP or Joint Development IP shall be shared as follows:
(a) first, to reimburse the enforcing Party for costs and expenses incurred under Section 4.3.2;
(b) second, if and to the extent lost profits or sales are specifically determined by the adjudicating authority, to Kolltan in reimbursement for its profits or lost sales, which amount shall trigger royalty payments under Section 3.4 above; and
(c) any remainder to the enforcing Party; provided that, if the action relates to the [**] percent ([**]%) of any remainder shall go to the enforcing Party, and [**] percent ([**]%) shall go to the other Party.
4.4 Third Party Infringement Claims. In the event that a Third Party shall make any claim, give notice, or bring any suit or other inter parties proceeding against Kolltan or Spirogen, or any of their respective Affiliates or sublicensees or customers, for infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property rights with respect to making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing any Licensed Product (other than a claim, notice, suit or other inter parties proceeding limited to the Antibody component of the Licensed Product) (“Third Party Infringement Claim”), in each case, the Party receiving notice of a Third Party Infringement Claim shall promptly notify the other Party and provide all evidence in its possession pertaining to the claim or suit that it can disclose without breach of a pre-existing obligation to a Third Party or waiver of a privilege.
4.4.1 Defense. The Parties shall consult as to potential strategies to defend against any Third Party Infringement Claim, consistent with the overall goals of this Agreement, including by being joined as a party. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects
in the defense of any Third Party Infringement Claim and any counterclaim related thereto. Subject to the respective indemnity obligations of the Parties set forth in Article 8, each Party shall be entitled to defend itself in such suit or inter parties proceeding. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in connection with any such defense.
4.4.2 Settlement. If any such defense under this Article 4.4 would adversely affect one Party’s rights under this Agreement or impose a financial obligation upon one Party or grant rights in respect of or affect the validity or enforceability of the Licensed Intellectual Property, then any settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of such Third Party Infringement Claim shall not be entered into without the written consent of such Party.
4.5 Challenges to Licensed Intellectual Property. Kolltan recognizes that any challenge of the Licensed Intellectual Property has the potential to have significant negative consequences for Spirogen’s business, especially with respect to Spirogen’s existing Third Party agreements. Accordingly, in the event that (a) Kolltan challenges the validity or enforceability of any Patent within the Licensed Intellectual Property, and (b) any claim of any of the Patents in the Licensed Intellectual Property subject to such challenge is determined to be valid and enforceable and would be infringed by Kolltan but for this Agreement, even if other claims are determined to be invalid and unenforceable or not infringed, Kolltan shall, in addition to making all payments due under this Agreement, pay (i) all of Spirogen’s out-of-pocket costs and fees associated with defending such challenge and (ii) stipulated damages in the amount of $[**]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4.5 shall not apply to any successor-in-interest of Kolltan’s rights hereunder with respect to any challenges made by such successor that are pending as of the date on which it succeeded to Kolltan’s rights hereunder.
4.6 Kolltan IP. Except as specifically provided in this Article 4, nothing herein shall be deemed to grant Spirogen any right to prosecute, maintain, or enforce, or defend any charge regarding, Kolltan’s Know-How, Patents, or other intellectual property rights.
4.7 CREATE Act. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a “joint research agreement” as defined in the Cooperative Research and Technology Enhancement Act of 2004, 35 U.S.C. 103(c)(2)-(c)(3) (the “CREATE Act”). Neither Party (a) without the prior written consent of the other Party, shall make any election under the CREATE Act with respect to the Licensed Products and (b) shall cooperate with the other Party with respect to any actions taken by such other Party in connection with any election made by such other Party under the CREATE Act with respect to the Licensed Products.
ARTICLE 5
CONFIDENTIALITY
5.1 Non-use and Non-disclosure of Confidential Information. During the Term, and for a period of [**] years thereafter, a Party shall (i) except to the extent permitted by this Agreement or otherwise agreed to in writing, keep confidential and not disclose to any Third Party any Confidential Information of the other Party; (ii) except in connection with activities contemplated by, the exercise of rights permitted by, in order to further the purposes of this Agreement or otherwise agreed to in writing, not use for any purpose any Confidential Information of the other Party; and (iii) take all reasonable precautions to protect the
Confidential Information of the other Party (including all precautions a Party employs with respect to its own confidential information of a similar nature and taking reasonable precautions to assure that no unauthorized use or disclosure is made by others to whom access to the Confidential Information of the Party is granted).
5.2 Exclusions Regarding Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article 5 to the contrary, the obligations of Article 5.1 above shall not apply to the extent that the Party seeking the benefit of the exclusion can demonstrate by competent written proof that the Confidential Information of the other Party:
(a) was already known to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of receipt by the receiving Party;
(b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its receipt by the receiving Party;
(c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its receipt by the receiving Party other than through any act or omission of the receiving Party in breach of this Agreement;
(d) was received by the receiving Party without an obligation of confidentiality from a Third Party having the right to disclose such information without restriction;
(e) was independently developed by or for the receiving Party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information of the other Party; or
(f) was released from the restrictions set forth in this Agreement by express prior written consent of the Party.
5.3 Authorized Disclosures of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may use and disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party as follows:
(a) if required by law, rule or governmental regulation, including as may be required in connection with any filings made with, or by the disclosure policies of a major stock exchange; provided that the Party seeking to disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party shall (i) use all reasonable efforts to inform the other Party prior to making any such disclosures and cooperate with the other Party in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy (including redaction) and (ii) whenever possible, request confidential treatment of such information;
(b) to the extent such use and disclosure is reasonably required in the filing, prosecution, maintenance or publication of any patent application or patent on inventions;
(c) as reasonably necessary to obtain or maintain any regulatory approval, including to conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials and for pricing approvals, for Licensed Product, provided that the disclosing Party shall take all reasonable steps to limit disclosure of the Confidential Information outside such regulatory agency and to otherwise maintain the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information to the same extent to which it maintains its own confidential information;
(d) to take any lawful action that it deems necessary to protect its interest under, or to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of, this Agreement; or
(e) to the extent necessary, to Affiliates, employees, consultants, agents, professional advisors (including, attorneys, accountants and actual and prospective investment bankers), attorneys, contractors, and clinicians and to actual or potential sublicensees, licensees, collaborators, vendors, acquirers, merger partners, and sources of financing, in each case, under obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those used by the receiving Party to protect its own proprietary or confidential information, but no less restrictive than standard practice in the biotechnology industry, in each case who have a need to know such information (i) in connection with such Party performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement or (ii) for the purpose of evaluating and entering into a transaction with such Party.
5.4 Terms of this Agreement. The Parties agree that this Agreement and the terms hereof will be considered Confidential Information of both Parties but can be shared as provided under Section 5.3.
5.5 No License. As between the Parties, Confidential Information disclosed hereunder shall remain the property of the disclosing Party. Disclosure of Confidential Information to the other Party shall not constitute any grant, option or license to the other Party, beyond those licenses expressly granted hereunder, under any patent, trade secret or other rights now or hereinafter held by the disclosing Party.
ARTICLE 6
PUBLICITY; PUBLICATIONS
6.1 Publicity. Neither Party shall distribute a press release relating to this Agreement or the substance thereof without the written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
6.2 Publications. Both Parties recognize that the publication or disclosure of papers, presentations, abstracts or any other written or oral presentations regarding results of and other information regarding the Licensed Products may be beneficial to both Parties, provided that such publications or presentations are subject to reasonable controls to protect Confidential Information, the patentability of inventions and other commercial and/or regulatory considerations. For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided in Section 4.1.3, the terms of this Article 6.2 shall not apply to patent applications filed by a Party. Accordingly, the following shall apply with respect to papers and presentations proposed for disclosure by either Party (the “Disclosing Party”):
(a) With respect to any paper or presentation proposed for disclosure by the Disclosing Party which utilizes information generated by or on behalf of a Party relating to Licensed Products hereunder or includes any Confidential Information of the other Party, the other Party (the “Non-Disclosing Party”) shall have the right to review any such proposed paper or presentation. The Disclosing Party shall submit to the Non-Disclosing Party the proposed
publication or presentation (including, without limitation, posters, slides, abstracts, manuscripts, marketing materials and written descriptions of oral presentations) at least [**] calendar days prior to the date of submission for publication or the date of presentation, whichever is earlier, of any of such submitted materials. The Non-Disclosing Party shall review such submitted materials and respond to the Disclosing Party as soon as reasonably possible, but in any case within [**] calendar days of receipt thereof.

ARTICLE 8
INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 Indemnification. Subject to Article 8.2, each Party shall indemnify, defend and hold each of the other Party, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, and agents and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, settlements, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ or accountants’ fees and other expenses of litigation) (collectively, “Loss” or “Losses”) arising, directly or indirectly out of or in connection with any Third Party claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments (“Third Party Claims”) to the extent resulting from (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Party under this Agreement, (b) breach by such Party of the representations, warranties, and covenants made in this Agreement, (c) in the case of Kolltan’s obligation as an Indemnitor, product liability and infringement claims relating to Kolltan’s (its Affiliates’ and their sublicensees’) development and commercialization of a Licensed Product, and (d) in the case of Spirogen’s obligation as an Indemnitor, Spirogen’s conduct of the services under the Work Plan (including any infringement claims relating to such services); provided neither Party shall be required to indemnify the other
Party to the extent such Losses result from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the other Party under this Agreement, or (b) breach by the other Party of the representations, warranties, or covenants made in this Agreement.
8.2 Procedure. If a Party intends to claim indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”), it shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of such alleged Loss. The Indemnitor shall have the right to control the defense thereof with counsel of its choice as long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee. Any Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense for any reason, provided, however, that if the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded, based upon a written opinion from outside legal counsel, that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in the defense of such action, in each of which cases the Indemnitor shall pay the fees and expenses of one law firm serving as counsel for the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee, its employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any Third Party Claims covered by this Agreement. The obligations of this Article 8 shall not apply to any settlement of any Third Party Claims if such settlement is effected without the consent of both Parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Indemnitor shall not need the consent of the Indemnitee for any settlement that includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability with respect thereto, that imposes no liability or obligation on the Indemnitee, and otherwise would not have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s interests. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, to the extent prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Indemnitor of any obligation to the Indemnitee under this Article 8.2. It is understood that only Kolltan and Spirogen may claim indemnity under this Agreement (on its own behalf or on behalf of its Indemnitees), and other Indemnitees may not claim indemnity hereunder.

(a) From the initiation of the first human clinical trial for a Licensed Product until the date [**] years after the last dosing of a human subject under the last such clinical trial, Kolltan shall maintain coverage for each such clinical trial in accordance with the national regulation of each country in which it runs a clinical trial and in a manner adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated.
(b) During the Term, Kolltan shall maintain comprehensive or commercial general liability insurance in a manner adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated.
(c) Such insurance shall name Spirogen as an additional insured.
(d) Kolltan shall furnish Spirogen with certificates of insurance showing compliance with all requirements set forth in this Article 8.3. Such certificates shall: (i) indicate that Spirogen has been endorsed as an additional insured under the coverage referred to above;
and (ii) include a provision that the coverage shall be primary and shall not participate with nor shall be excess over any valid and collectable insurance or program of self-insurance carried or maintained by Spirogen. Kolltan shall notify Spirogen within [**] days of any change in the terms of such insurance from those set forth in the most recent certificate of insurance provided to Spirogen pursuant to this Article 8.3. The coverage and limits referred to above shall not in any way limit the liability of Kolltan hereunder.
8.4 Election to Self-Insure. In the event that Kolltan or any sublicensee of Kolltan or any successor-in-interest of Kolltan, is an entity which, together with its Affiliates, has worldwide revenues from pharmaceutical sales in excess of $[**] per year, the obligations set forth in Article 8.3, above, shall not apply with respect to such entity, if such entity notifies Spirogen in writing that it elects to provide coverage through a commercially reasonable program of self-insurance; provided, however, that the obligations set forth in Article 8.3, above, shall resume with respect to such entity and its Affiliates, or successor-in-interest and its Affiliates, if such program of self-insurance is terminated or discontinued for any reason.
8.5 Limitation of Damages. NEITHER PARTY HERETO WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF ANY BREACH OF A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 5 OR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS ARTICLE 8 FOR CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES.

(a) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless there is a Change in Applicable Law, (i) the licenses granted pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof will be treated by the Parties as sale transactions, and (ii) the purchase price payable with respect to any such sale transactions shall be the amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4 hereof.
(b) With respect to the payments pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3, and 3.3.4 (except to the extent any portion of such payments is treated as interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes), unless there is a Change in Applicable Law, Kolltan shall not withhold any U.S. federal income tax from such payments, provided that Spirogen delivers to Kolltan (i) to the extent such position is based upon an applicable tax treaty, a correct, complete and validly executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable IRS W-8 forms) and any other forms required by applicable law certifying, among other things, that such amounts are not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) to the extent such withholding would otherwise be required pursuant to FATCA, any forms required to avoid such withholding under FATCA.
(c) With respect to any payments pursuant to Article 3 that are not described in Section 11.11(b), except as otherwise required by any applicable provision of the Code, including Code Section 881(a)(4), related Treasury regulation, or relevant tax treaty, Kolltan shall not withhold any U.S. federal income taxes from such payments, provided that Spirogen delivers to Kolltan (i) to the extent such position is based upon an applicable tax treaty, a correct, complete and validly executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable IRS W-8 forms) and any other forms required by applicable law certifying, among other things, that such amounts are not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) to the extent such withholding would otherwise be required pursuant to FATCA, any forms required to avoid such withholding under FATCA.
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Kolltan shall not be required, under any circumstances, to bear the economic burden of, or “gross up” any payment payable hereunder for, withholding taxes imposed on payments made under this Agreement; provided, however, that, if Kolltan withholds in breach of Section 11.11(b), Kolltan shall pay additional amounts to Spirogen such that the net amount that Spirogen receives after reduction for any withholding tax is equal to the amount that Spirogen would have received if no tax had been withheld.
(e) Kolltan shall only deduct or withhold from the payments made under this Agreement those taxes, if any, that it is required by applicable law (including, without limitation, FATCA) to deduct or withhold as reasonably determined in good faith by Kolltan; provided, however, that before deducting or withholding any amount, Kolltan shall seek advice of counsel and consult in good faith with Spirogen regarding whether such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law. If Kolltan deducts and withholds any amount, it shall pay to Spirogen the balance of the applicable payment when due, make timely payment to the proper tax authority of the withheld amount, and send to Spirogen proof of such payment within [**] days following that payment. To the extent (i) any amounts payable to Spirogen under this Agreement are payable by the issuance of equity (stock pursuant to Article 3) and (ii) any such
amounts are subject to withholding tax, Spirogen shall, prior to Kolltan issuing or delivering any such equity, pay to Kolltan the U.S. dollar amount (as agreed to in good faith by Spirogen and Kolltan) required to satisfy such withholding tax and Kolltan shall pay such amount to the appropriate governmental authority on behalf of Spirogen.
(f) Spirogen agrees that, if Kolltan concludes that withholding tax does not apply (or applies at a reduced rate) and accordingly neither Kolltan, nor any applicable Affiliate of Kolltan, withholds any tax with respect to any payment due pursuant to Article 3 hereof, and if any tax authority subsequently determines that withholding tax (or other similar tax) is owed with respect to any such payment and assesses additional tax against Kolltan or any of its Affiliates, then Spirogen shall pay such taxing authority, or shall reimburse Kolltan or its Affiliate (if Kolltan or any of its Affiliates has already paid such taxing authority), an amount of money (in U.S. dollars) equal to the tax, penalty and interest assessed against, and, if applicable, paid by, Kolltan or any of its Affiliates. Kolltan shall provide to Spirogen proof of such assessment and/or payment of such tax, penalty and interest in a timely manner. After receipt of such proof of assessment or payment, Spirogen shall pay the tax, penalty and interest within the time limitations specified by the taxing authority (if Kolltan or any of its Affiliates have not already paid such amounts) or shall reimburse Kolltan within [**] days following Spirogen’s receipt of such proof of payment (if Kolltan or any of its Affiliates have already paid such amounts). If Spirogen has not reimbursed Kolltan, or any of its Affiliates, for any amounts owed by Spirogen under this Agreement, then Kolltan shall be entitled to withhold such amounts from future payments owed by Kolltan to Spirogen pursuant to Article 3 hereof. Kolltan agrees to give written notice to Spirogen of any communication received by Kolltan related to the possible assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any audit, suit, action or proceeding, by a governmental authority asserting the imposition of any withholding tax on any payment pursuant to this Agreement.
(g) The Parties shall cooperate reasonably with respect to any audits, disputes or requests for information with respect to taxes in connection with or as a result of this Agreement, including the provision of all relevant information, documents and reasonable support.
(h) For purposes of this Section 11.11, “Change in Applicable Law” means (i) any change, repeal, withdrawal, adoption or issuance of any statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance, order, decision, decree, judgment, ruling or notice issued by any U.S. federal governmental authority that Kolltan and Spirogen agree, in good faith and after consultation with their tax advisors, either (A) requires a different characterization of the licenses granted pursuant to Section 2.1 than the characterization described in Sections 11.11(a)(i) and (ii), or (B) would cause any one or more of the payments referenced in Section 11.11(b) hereof to be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax under any provision of the Code (including Code Section 881(a)(4)), applicable Treasury regulation or relevant tax treaty; or (ii) a nationally recognized accounting firm acting as Kolltan’s auditor or a nationally recognized accounting firm acting as Kolltan’s U.S. federal income tax return preparer determines, in good faith and after consultation with Kolltan’s other tax advisors and good faith discussions with Spirogen, that either (A) a different characterization of the licenses granted pursuant to Section 2.1 than the characterization described in Sections 11.11(a)(i) and (ii) is required by applicable U.S. tax law, or (B) any one of more of the payments referenced in Section 11.11(b) hereof are subject to U.S. federal
withholding tax under any provision of the Code (including Code Section 881(a)(4)), applicable Treasury regulation or relevant tax treaty.
