To the extent any accrued amounts used in the calculation of NET SALES are estimates, such estimates shall be corrected in accordance with a PARTY’S accounting policies for external reporting purposes, as consistently applied, and NET SALES and related payments under this AGREEMENT shall be reconciled as appropriate. Furthermore, if a PRODUCT either (i) is sold in the form of a combination product containing both an ANTIBODY and one or more ACTIVE INGREDIENT(S) as separate molecular entity(ies) that are not derived from the PROGRAMS; or (ii) is sold in a form that contains (or is sold bundled with) a delivery device therefor (in either case ((i) or (ii)), a “COMBINATION PRODUCT”), the NET SALES of such PRODUCT for the purpose of calculating royalties and sales-based milestones owed under this AGREEMENT for sales of such PRODUCT, shall be determined as follows: first, a PARTY shall determine the actual NET SALES of such COMBINATION PRODUCT (using the above provisions) and then such amount shall be multiplied by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the invoice price of the PRODUCT, if sold separately, and B is the total invoice price of any other ACTIVE INGREDIENT or delivery device in the COMBINATION PRODUCT if sold separately. If any other ACTIVE INGREDIENT or delivery device in the COMBINATION PRODUCT is not sold separately, NET SALES shall be calculated by multiplying actual NET SALES of such COMBINATION PRODUCT by a fraction A/C where A is the invoice price of the PRODUCT if sold separately and C is the invoice price of the COMBINATION PRODUCT. If neither the PRODUCT nor any other ACTIVE INGREDIENT (or delivery device) in the COMBINATION PRODUCT is sold separately, the adjustment to NET SALES shall be determined by the PARTIES in good faith to reasonably reflect the fair market value of the contribution of the PRODUCT in the COMBINATION PRODUCT to the total fair market value of such COMBINATION PRODUCT. If the PARTIES are unable to reach an agreement on the fair market value of the contribution of the PRODUCT in the COMBINATION PRODUCT within thirty (30) days as from the start of negotiations in this respect, then any of the PARTIES shall have the right to refer such issue to EXPERT DETERMINATION.

23





13.05    Prior to commencing any human PHASE I CLINICAL TRIAL a PARTY shall obtain and maintain during the duration of the trial and for five (5) years thereafter appropriate PHASE I CLINICAL TRIAL no fault compensation insurance. Prior to the first commercial sale of any PRODUCT a Party shall obtain appropriate product liability insurance for the duration of the TERM of the AGREEMENT and for seven (7) years thereafter.

13.06    Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this AGREEMENT, no PARTY makes any representations and extends no warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, validity of patent rights claims issued or pending, or non-infringement of THIRD PARTY rights.
13.07    In no event shall a PARTY or such PARTY’S AFFILIATES be liable to another PARTY or any of such PARTY’S AFFILIATES for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special, punitive or exemplary damages, lost profits, business or goodwill suffered or incurred by such other PARTY or any of such PARTY’S AFFILIATES in connection with this AGREEMENT, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
14    DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW
14.01    The PARTIES recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise which relate to the rights of any PARTY and obligations hereunder. It is the objective of the PARTIES to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of such disputes in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. To accomplish this objective, the PARTIES agree to follow the procedures set forth in Section 14.02, if and when such a dispute arises between the PARTIES.
14.02    Dispute Resolution Procedures.
14.02.1
If any dispute, claim or controversy of any nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any action or claim based on tort, contract or statute, or concerning the interpretation, effect, termination, validity, performance and/or breach of this Agreement (each, a “DISPUTE”), arises between the PARTIES and the PARTIES cannot resolve such DISPUTE within thirty (30) days of a written request by a PARTY to another PARTY, the PARTIES agree to refer the DISPUTE either to: (a) the chief scientific officer (or equivalent) of LICR and/or the chief scientific officer (or equivalent) of RECEPTA and/or the chief technology officer (or equivalent) of 4AB for resolution (if such DISPUTE relates to scientific issues); or (b) to the head of business development (or equivalent) of LICR and/or the head of business development (or equivalent) of RECEPTA and/or the head of business development (or equivalent) of 4AB for resolution (if such DISPUTE does not relate to scientific issues). If such officers of the PARTIES cannot resolve such DISPUTE within an additional thirty (30) days, then such DISPUTE shall be referred to the chief executive officer (or equivalent) of LICR and/or the chief executive officer (or equivalent) of RECEPTA and/or the chief executive officer (or equivalent) of 4AB for resolution. After an additional thirty (30) days, if such officers have not succeeded in negotiating a

24





resolution of the DISPUTE, then any PARTY may at any time thereafter seek to resolve such DISPUTE by arbitration pursuant to Section 14.02.2 below.
14.02.2
The PARTIES acknowledge and agree that any declarations (either oral or in writing) rendered by the PARTIES’ representatives during the resolution procedure under Section 14.02.1 above, shall not be considered as an acknowledgement of such PARTY’s liability in respect to the DISPUTE. The PARTIES agree that none of them may rely on such statement or document as mean of evidence during the arbitration proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 14.02.2 shall not apply to documents, information and statements relating to the disputed obligations under this Agreement.
14.02.3
If any dispute, disagreement, claim or controversy of any nature or type arises out of or results from this Agreement and is not resolved pursuant to Section 14.02.1, then without regard or reference to the principles of conflicts of law or international private law or any contrary term or condition in any international treaty or convention (other than in connection with the recognition of arbitration awards as the PARTIES have agreed below):
14.02.3.1
Jurisdiction/Forum. Any DISPUTE that cannot be resolved after negotiation between the PARTIES as set forth in Section 14.02.1 shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) as supplemented by Section 14.02.3.2 below (collectively, the “RULES”).
14.02.3.2
Applicability of Rules. If a procedural question or dispute arises that is not governed by the RULES, the ARBITRATOR or ARBITRATORS shall make a binding determination of its resolution after affording each PARTY an opportunity to state its preferred means of resolution. Each PARTY hereby expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the personal jurisdiction of the ICC and waives and hereby affirmatively covenants not to assert their right to object to or challenge the sole and exclusive personal jurisdiction of the ICC in connection with DISPUTES. Any controversy concerning the extent to which any DISPUTE is subject to the terms and conditions of this Section and/or the RULES, or concerning the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of this Section and/or the RULES, including any contention that all or part of these procedures are invalid or unenforceable, shall be governed by the substantive laws of England and Wales.

25





14.02.3.3
Venue and Language. The arbitration described herein (the “ARBITRATION”) shall be conducted in the English language and all written briefs and statements prepared by the PARTIES shall be submitted in the English language. The ARBITRATION shall be conducted at a mutually agreed location in London, United Kingdom.
14.02.3.4
Governing law. All DISPUTES shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of England and Wales, and the ARBITRATION shall be conducted under the procedural requirements of the RULES, all without regard or reference to principles of conflicts of law that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
14.02.3.5
Arbitrators. The panel of arbitrators shall consist of three (3) neutral arbitrators who are mutually agreed upon by the PARTIES meeting the following criteria: (i) none of them shall be current or former employees, directors or shareholders of, or otherwise have any current or previous relationship with, either PARTY or its respective AFFILIATES; and (ii) all of them shall be a person expert in pharmaceutical industry research and development or in licensing arrangements in the biotechnology or pharmaceutical fields (collectively, the “ARBITRATORS”). If the PARTIES can mutually agree that a DISPUTE can be resolved by a single ARBITRATOR or expert and furthermore the PARTIES can agree on the choice of such ARBITRATOR or expert then the arbitration can proceed with such single ARBITRATOR or expert. If the PARTIES cannot mutually agree on the ARBITRATORS within fifteen (15) business days of the filing of the claim with the ICC, then the PARTIES shall each submit six (6) curriculum vitae of proposed ARBITRATORS to the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC and that body shall appoint the ARBITRATORS by selecting one (1) of the expert ARBITRATORS from each of PARTIES’ submissions.
14.02.3.6
Supplemental Rules. The ARBITRATION shall be subject to the following rules: (i) the ARBITRATORS may not award or assess punitive damages against either PARTY except that the ARBITRATORS, in their sole discretion, may award reasonable costs, expenses and fees to the prevailing PARTY; (ii) until such time as an award of costs is made by the ARBITRATORS, each PARTY shall bear its own costs and expenses of the ARBITRATION and one-third (1/3) of the fees and costs

26




of the ARBITRATORS; and (iii) time is of the essence with regard to the completion of the ARBITRATION and the ARBITRATORS shall make a final award no later than one (1) year after the filing of the initial claim with the ICC.
14.02.3.7
Award. The ARBITRATORS’ award shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the PARTIES regarding any claims, counter-claims, issues or accountings presented or pleaded to the ARBITRATORS, including any such claims, counter-claims, issues or accountings seeking declaratory, equitable and/or injunctive relief, and all costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the ARBITRATORS’ award shall be, to the maximum extent permitted by law, charged against the PARTY resisting enforcement. Judgment upon the award of the ARBITRATORS may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award or any order of enforcement. Without limiting the foregoing, if and to extent that the final award of the ARBITRATORS is found unenforceable, either PARTY may bring a cause of action against the other PARTY before any court of competent jurisdiction at the domicile of the defendant PARTY.
14.02.3.8
Interim Relief. By agreeing to arbitration, the PARTIES do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitration injunction, pre-arbitration attachment or other order in aid of the arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the ARBITRATORS shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to award damages for the failure of any PARTY to respect the ARBITRATORS’ orders to that effect.
14.02.4
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any DISPUTE arises from any PARTY’S rights or obligations under Article 6 (Confidentiality), then a PARTY may seek equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without needing to resort to the dispute resolution mechanism described above in this Section 14.02.
14.02.5
In the event of any dispute relating to this AGREEMENT or breach thereof, the PARTIES shall use their best endeavors to develop practical solutions of mutual benefit to settle conflicts amicably between themselves.

27





15    PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS AND PUBLICATION
15.01    No PARTY shall use the name of another PARTY in any publicity, advertising, or news without the prior written consent of the other PARTY.
15.02    The PARTIES may issue one or more joint announcements regarding this AGREEMENT, provided each such announcement has been approved in writing by the PARTIES prior to its release. Further, each PARTY may, in presentations, publications, or other disclosures accurately report that it is a PARTY to the relationship represented by this AGREEMENT. All public announcements and statements concerning the research, development and commercialization of PRODUCT(s) by RECEPTA or its licensee(s) will acknowledge 4AB’s and LICR’s role in the discovery and validation of the ANTIBODY or ANTIBODIES.
15.03    It is accepted by the PARTIES that the PARTIES may wish to publish or disclose aspects of the PROGRAM(S) and results thereof in scientific journals or meetings or the like. Specifically, LICR and its academic collaborators shall have the right to publish and present scientific findings relating to the DISCOVERY PROGRAMS and DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM(S). In such an event the disclosing PARTY shall provide the other PARTY with copies of such publications and presentations at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to submission for publication or presentation. The non-disclosing PARTY shall, within a period of thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of such publications or presentations advise the disclosing PARTY whether patent or commercial interests may be prejudiced by the proposed publication or presentation, in which case the PARTY shall delay, or cause its collaborators to delay, submission, if necessary, of the publication or presentation for an additional period, such period not exceeding forty five (45) calendar days, from notification received from disclosing party. If the non-disclosing PARTY has not responded to the disclosing PARTY within the initial thirty (30) calendar day time period, the proposed publication or presentation shall be deemed not to prejudice any patent or commercial interests and LICR and its academic collaborators are free to proceed.

28





16    INDEPENDENT PARTIES
16.01    At all times, LICR, 4AB, and RECEPTA shall be deemed and shall in fact be independent of one another and neither shall be authorised or empowered hereby to act as the agent for the other PARTY for any purpose whatsoever or, on behalf of the other, to enter into any contract, warranty or representations as to any matter. All persons employed by a PARTY shall be employees of such PARTY and not of the other PARTY and all costs and obligations incurred by reason of any such employment shall be for the account and expense of such employing PARTY.
17    SURVIVAL AND WAIVERS
17.01    The covenants of the PARTIES which by their terms or express intent are to be performed after the termination or expiration of this AGREEMENT shall survive the termination or expiration of this AGREEMENT.
17.02    Any term or condition of this AGREEMENT may be waived or qualified at any time by the PARTY entitled to the benefit thereof by written instrument executed by said PARTY. No delay or failure on the part of a PARTY in exercising any rights hereunder, and no partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver of such rights or of any other rights hereunder. The waiver by a PARTY of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other PARTY shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or any other breach or failure to perform by the other PARTY, whether of a similar nature or otherwise.
18    ASSIGNMENT
18.01    This AGREEMENT, and the rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned or transferred by a PARTY without the prior written consent of the other PARTIES, except that a PARTY may assign this AGREEMENT, without the need to obtain the consent of the other PARTIES, to (a) its AFFILIATE or to (b) an entity that acquires substantially all of the business or assets of such PARTY, in each case whether by merger, transfer of assets, purchase of all outstanding shares or otherwise, or to an entity which acquires all of the assets or substantially all of the assets to which this AGREEMENT pertains, provided that such assignee promptly agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. Any assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, this AGREEMENT will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the PARTIES and their respective successors and assigns.

19    SEVERANCE

19.01    If any provision of this AGREEMENT is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, all other provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

The non-performing PARTY shall notify the other PARTY of such force majeure within seven days after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other PARTY stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing PARTY shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform; provided, however, that in the event the suspension of performance continues for 60 days after the date of the occurrence, the PARTIES shall meet to discuss in good faith how to proceed in order to accomplish the goals of this AGREEMENT.
