other pharmaceutical products in the Bundle are not sold separately, the Parties shall confer in good faith to determine an equitable fair market price to apply to such bundled Dmab.

 

8.6. Reports. Beginning with the Calendar Quarter after the First Commercial Sale of Dmab in the Territory and thereafter for each Calendar Quarter in which royalties are payable until the expiration of the Payor Party’s obligation to pay royalties hereunder, royalty payments and reports of the sale of Dmab for each Calendar Quarter will be calculated and delivered by the Payor Party to the Payee Party under this Agreement within forty-five (45) days of the end of each such Calendar Quarter. In addition, such reports for the first Calendar Quarter of each Calendar Year shall be delivered by the Payor Party to the Payee Party within five (5) business days of the end of such Calendar Quarter using the best estimate of the Payor Party, with a final report (and the accompanying royalty payments) sent no later than forty-five (45) days of the end of such Calendar Quarter. Each payment of royalties will be accompanied by a report of Net Sales of Dmab stating: (a) Net Sales of Dmab by or on behalf of the Payor Party during the applicable Calendar Quarter (detailed with gross invoiced amounts, deductions and Net Sales); and (b) a calculation of the royalty payment due from the Payor Party hereunder for such Calendar Quarter. Any reports which contain currency conversions shall provide the details and background information used to calculate such conversions.

 

8.7. No Wrongful Reductions. The Payor Party shall not attempt to reduce compensation rightly due to the Payee Party hereunder by shifting compensation otherwise payable to the Payor Party from a Third Party with respect to Dmab to another product or service for which no royalties are payable by it hereunder.

 

8.8. Development Cost Sharing. In addition to the other payments referenced herein, Collaborator shall pay to Amgen a share of Amgen Development Costs including those for the third Calendar Quarter of 2007 and thereafter:

 

  8.8.1.  Amounts. Collaborator’s share of Amgen Development Costs shall be as set forth in the below table, subject in each case to the maximum amounts described in Section 8.8.2 (Maximum Payments):

   Collaborator Share  

2007-2009

2010 and thereafter

   [ *]%

 

  8.8.2.

 Maximum Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Collaborator’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 8.8 (Development Cost Sharing) shall be subject to a maximum payment as set forth below for each Calendar Year (each, an “Annual Maximum”). In addition, total, aggregate amounts payable by Collaborator pursuant to this Section 8.8 (Development Cost Sharing) shall not exceed $[*] (the “Aggregate Maximum”). In the event the amount otherwise payable in a Calendar Quarter (“Q1; Q2; Q3 or Q4”, as appropriate) would exceed: [*] (the “Quarterly Maximum”) then Collaborator shall pay only such Quarterly Maximum. Since there will be only two quarterly payments by Collaborator in 2007 (due to the Effective Date of this Agreement occurring

 

Page 35 of 65


 

during Q3 of 2007), the Quarterly Maximum for Q3 of 2007 shall be [*] of the Annual Maximum for 2007, and the Quarterly Maximum for Q4 of 2007 shall be the Annual Maximum for 2007 less the amount paid by Collaborator pursuant to this section for Q3 of 2007. No [*] the Annual Maximum for a particular Calendar Year nor [*] the Quarterly Maximum for a particular Calendar Quarter shall [*]. No amounts in excess of the Aggregate Maximum shall be payable by Collaborator pursuant to this Section 8.8 (Development Cost Sharing).

  8.8.3.  Reports. Within thirty (30) days of the end of each Calendar Quarter, Amgen shall provide Collaborator with a report specifying in reasonable detail the Amgen Development Costs incurred or paid by Amgen in such Calendar Quarter, as well as any other costs for which Amgen is entitled reimbursement hereunder (such as those incurred pursuant to Section 4.18 (Transition in Oncology Development)). In addition, for the first Calendar Quarter of each Calendar Year Amgen shall provide Collaborator a non-binding estimate of Collaborator’s share of Amgen Development Costs, as well as any other costs for which Amgen is entitled reimbursement hereunder (such as those incurred pursuant to Section 4.18 (Transition in Oncology Development)) for such Calendar Quarter within five (5) business days of the end of such Calendar Quarter. Amgen Development Costs may be attributed by Amgen to either the Calendar Quarter in which they are paid or incurred, but no amount shall be attributed to more than one Calendar Quarter.

 

  8.8.4.  Payments. Collaborator shall pay Amgen its share of Amgen Development Costs in accordance with Section 8.10 (Payment Method) within thirty (30) days of receiving Amgen’s report pursuant to Section 8.8.3 (Reports). For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth in Section 15.3.3 (Development Cost Share), Collaborator’s payment obligation with respect to Amgen Development Costs shall remain in effect until the Aggregate Maximum has been paid in full.

 

  8.8.5.  Example. The Development Costs Example Schedule sets forth an example of the calculation of Collaborator’s share of Amgen Development Costs.

 

8.9. No Other Compensation. Other than as explicitly set forth (and as applicable) in this Agreement, neither Party shall be obligated to pay any additional fees, milestone payments, royalties or other payments of any kind to the other under this Agreement.

 

8.10.

Payment Method. All payments made hereunder between the Parties shall be made in U.S. Dollars except as set forth in Section 8.13 (Blocked Currency). The Payor Party shall pay all sums due hereunder by check, wire transfer, or electronic funds transfer

 

Page 36 of 65


 

(EFT) in immediately available funds. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party of the appropriate account information to facilitate any such payments. Regardless of the amounts of any royalties or other payments due under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties or their Affiliates, all amounts payable under this Agreement shall be paid in full (subject to Section 8.15 (Withholding) and Section 8.16 (VAT)).

 

8.11. Change in Accounting Periods. From time to time, either Party may change its company-wide (or Territory-wide) accounting and financial reporting practices from Calendar Quarters and Calendar Years to fiscal quarters and fiscal years or vice versa. If a Party notifies the other of a change in its accounting and financial reporting practices from Calendar Quarters and Calendar Years to fiscal quarters and fiscal years or vice versa, then thereafter, beginning with the period specified in the notice, the payment, reporting and other obligations of such Party hereunder related to Calendar Quarters and Calendar Years shall be deemed satisfied by compliance therewith in accordance with the new reporting periods (fiscal reporting periods or calendar reporting periods, as the case may be) instead of the previously utilized reporting periods. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to minimize any disruption caused by any such change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any change in Collaborator’s accounting periods shall not affect the timing or amount of Collaborator’s payment obligations pursuant to Section 8.8 (Development Cost Sharing).

 

8.12. Audits. The Payor Party shall keep complete and accurate records pertaining to the development and sale of Dmab in the Territory in sufficient detail to permit the Payee Party to confirm the accuracy of all payments due hereunder, and such records shall be open (in such form as may be available or reasonably requested by a certified public accountant in accordance with this Section 8.12 (Audits)) to inspection for [*] following the end of the period to which they pertain. The Payee Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to have an independent, certified public accountant, selected by such Payee Party review the records of the Payor Party upon reasonable notice (which shall be no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice) and during regular business hours. Upon request, the accountant shall execute a confidentiality agreement reasonably required by the Payor Party. The report of such accountant shall be made available to both Parties simultaneously, promptly upon its completion. The Payee Party’s audit rights with respect to any Calendar Year shall expire [*] after the end of such year and the books and records for any particular Calendar Year shall only be subject to one (1) audit. Should the inspection lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to the Payee Party’s detriment, then the Payor Party shall pay to the Payee Party the amount of the discrepancy plus interest accrued at the Contract Interest Rate, compounded daily from the day the relevant payment(s) were due. Should the inspection lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to the Payor Party’s detriment, then the Payee Party shall pay to the Payor Party the amount of the discrepancy without interest. The Payee Party shall pay the full cost of the inspection unless the discrepancy is to the Payee Party’s detriment and is greater than [*] percent ([*]%) of the amount actually paid for the audited period, in which case the Payor Party shall pay the cost of such inspection.

 

8.13.

Blocked Currency. If at any time legal restrictions in the Territory prevent the prompt remittance of any payments with respect to sales therein, the Payor Party shall have the

 

Page 37 of 65


 

right and option to make such payments by depositing the amount thereof in local currency to the Payee Party’s account in a bank or depository in the Territory.

 

8.14. Taxes. All Taxes levied on account of a payment made by a Payor Party to a Payee Party pursuant to this Agreement will be the responsibility of and paid by the Payee Party or shall be subject to the withholding and remittance provisions of Section 8.15 (Withholding).

 

8.15. Withholding. In the event that Laws require a Payor Party to withhold Taxes with respect to any payment to be made by such Party to the Payee Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Payor Party will withhold such Taxes from the amount due and furnish the Payee Party with proof of payment of such Taxes. The Payor Party will provide reasonable assistance to the Payee Party in its efforts to claim an exemption of Taxes, obtain a refund of Taxes withheld, or obtain a credit with respect to such Taxes paid. In order for the Payee Party to secure an exemption from, or a reduction in, any withholding of Taxes, the Payee Party shall provide to the Payor Party such forms as reasonably required for each type of payment to be made pursuant to the Agreement for which an exemption from, or a reduction in, any withholding of Taxes is claimed. Each Party shall provide the other any cooperation reasonably requested to minimize any withholding obligation (e.g., by providing the necessary tax forms upon request).

 

8.16. VAT. All payments due a Payee Party from a Payor Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid exclusive of any VAT (which, if applicable, shall be payable by the Payor Party upon receipt of a valid VAT invoice).

 

8.17. Late Payment. Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder which are not paid when due shall bear interest at the Contract Interest Rate, compounded daily, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent. This Section 8.17 (Late Payment) shall in no way limit any other remedies available to either Party.

 

8.18. Third Party Royalties. Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.15 (Withholding) and 8.16 (VAT), neither Party shall have the right to make any deduction from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement on account of any royalty or other amount payable to any Third Party.

  10.2.2.  Cooperation.

Governmental Authority in connection with any required filing of this Agreement, the Parties shall consult with one another concerning which terms of this Agreement shall be requested to be redacted in any public disclosure of the Agreement, and in any event each Party shall seek reasonable confidential treatment for any public disclosure by any such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall agree upon and release a mutual press release to announce the execution of this Agreement in the form attached hereto as the Press Release Schedule for use in responding to inquiries about the Agreement; thereafter, Collaborator and Amgen may each disclose to Third Parties the information contained in such press release without the need for further approval by the other. Each Party shall additionally have the right to issue additional press releases with the prior written agreement of the other Party or as required to comply with any Law or by the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system (in the case of such required disclosure, by providing five (5) business days’ notice to the other Party and reasonably considering comments provided by such other Party within three (3) business days after such notice).

 

11.4. Prior Agreement.

The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and shall make available to the Indemnifying Party reasonably requested information under the control of the Indemnified Party, which information shall be subject to Article 11 (Confidentiality and Publications).

News Release

AMGEN AND DAIICHI SANKYO ANNOUNCE

AGREEMENT FOR DENOSUMAB IN JAPAN

Amgen Grants Daiichi Sankyo Exclusive Rights to Develop and

Commercialize Denosumab in Japan

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (July 11, 2007) and TOKYO (July 12, 2007) – Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) and Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited (TSE:4568) today announced a collaboration and license agreement for the development and commercialization of denosumab in Japan. Denosumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets RANK Ligand (an essential mediator of cells that break down bone) and is being investigated for its potential to treat and prevent a broad range of bone loss conditions including osteoporosis and bone metastases.

Under the terms of the agreement, Amgen has granted Daiichi Sankyo exclusive rights to develop and commercialize denosumab in Japan in post-menopausal osteoporosis and oncology with the potential for additional indications. As part of the agreement, Amgen will receive exclusive worldwide rights to certain Daiichi Sankyo intellectual property to the extent applicable to denosumab.


The financial terms include an upfront payment to Amgen of $20 million. In addition, Daiichi Sankyo will assume all development costs for denosumab in Japan and will pay approximately $150 million of expected worldwide development costs for denosumab through 2009. In consideration of its intellectual property, Daiichi Sankyo is also eligible to receive milestone payments dependent on the approval of denosumab in the European Union or Japan, in two indications. In connection with its activities under the collaboration and license agreement, Daiichi Sankyo will pay royalties on annual net sales of denosumab in Japan in amounts commensurate with a major late stage product for the Japan market.

About Denosumab

Denosumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets RANK Ligand and is being investigated for its potential to prevent and treat a broad range of bone loss conditions including osteoporosis, bone metastases, treatment-induced bone loss, multiple myeloma and bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis. Denosumab is the first late-stage investigational therapy that specifically inhibits RANK Ligand, an essential mediator of the cells that break down bone.

Forward-Looking Statement: Amgen

This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and others that can be found in our Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2006, and in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Amgen is providing this information as of the date of this news release and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. The Company’s results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments (domestic or foreign) involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products (domestic or foreign), difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products. In addition, sales of our products are affected by reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payors, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and health care cost containment as well as U.S. legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement. Government and others’ regulations and reimbursement policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of our products. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. We or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and products liability claims. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors. We depend on third parties for a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity for the supply of certain of our current and future products and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to some of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Discovery or identification of new product candidates cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers.
