(i)                                     if, on a country-by-country basis, each of such Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, and the other active ingredient(s) in such Combination Product are sold separately in a country, Net Sales with respect to such

 

11



 

Combination Product in such country for the purpose of determining milestones and royalties due hereunder shall be calculated by multiplying the actual Net Sales of the Combination Product in such country by the fraction A/(A+B), where “A” is the total weighted (by sales volume) average Net Sales price of such Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, as sold separately in such country and “B” is the total weighted (by sales volume) average net sales (calculated in a manner analogous to the manner in which Net Sales are calculated as set forth above) price of such other active ingredient(s)as sold separately in such country;

 

(ii)                                  if, on a country-by-country basis, such Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, is sold separately in a country but the other active ingredient(s) in such Combination Product are not sold separately in such country, Net Sales with respect to such Combination Product in such country for the purpose of determining milestones and royalties due hereunder shall be calculated by multiplying the actual Net Sales of the Combination Product in such country by the fraction A/C, where “A” is the total weighted (by sales volume) average Net Sales price of the Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, as sold separately in such country and “C” is the total weighted (by sales volume) average Net Sales price of the Combination Product in such country;

 

(iii)                               if, on a country-by-country basis, such Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, is not sold separately in a country, but each of such Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, and the other active ingredient(s) in such Combination Product are sold separately in at least one country, Net Sales with respect to such Combination Product in such first country for the purpose of determining milestones and royalties due hereunder shall be calculated by multiplying the actual Net Sales of such Combination Product in such first country by the fraction D/(D+E), where “D” is the worldwide average Net Sales price of the Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, as sold separately, and “E” is the worldwide average net sales (calculated in a manner analogous to the manner in which Net Sales are calculated as set forth above) price of the other active ingredients included in the Combination Product as sold separately; and

 

(iv)                              if, on a country-by-country basis, none of clauses (i) through (iii) above is applicable with respect to a country, Net Sales with respect to such Combination Product in such country for the purpose of determining milestones and royalties due hereunder shall be determined by the Parties in good faith based on the fair market value of the contribution of the Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, to the total fair market value of the Combination Product, using, to the extent practicable, the principles outlined in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

5.2                               Trigger Period; Determination of Product Acquisition Price.

 

5.2.1                     Trigger Period.

 

(a)                                 From time to time between (i) the date on which Kolltan delivers the first data summary to MedImmune pursuant to Section 5.1.1 and (ii) the earlier of (x) ten (10) Business Days after the Data Package Delivery Date and (y) December 31, 2017 (the “Trigger Period”), MedImmune shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to Kolltan (a “Trigger Notice”), to trigger a determination of the Product Acquisition Price in accordance with Section 5.2.2.  For clarity, MedImmune shall have the right to deliver multiple Trigger Notices during the Trigger Period; provided, however, that subject to Section 5.3.2, after MedImmune has delivered any Trigger Notice, it shall not deliver a subsequent Trigger Notice unless and until MedImmune revokes such earlier Trigger Notice in writing (provided, however, that MedImmune shall not be entitled to revoke any Trigger Notice after the Parties have received notice of the applicable Product FMV pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a)) or the Option Period with respect to such earlier Trigger Notice expires without MedImmune’s having delivered an Exercise Notice.

 

(b)                                 If (i) MedImmune does not deliver a Trigger Notice to Kolltan prior to the expiration of the Trigger Period, (ii) as of the expiration of the Trigger Period, the Option Period with respect to any Trigger Notices previously delivered by MedImmune has expired without MedImmune’s having delivered an Exercise Notice, or (iii) any Option Period that has not expired as of the expiration of the Trigger Period expires without MedImmune’s having delivered an Exercise Notice, then the provisions of Sections 5.3 and 5.4 shall be of no further force or effect.  If MedImmune provides written notice to Kolltan during the Trigger Period that MedImmune declines to deliver any further Trigger Notices, then the provisions of Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 shall be of no further force or effect.

 

5.2.2                     Determination of Product Acquisition Price.

 

(a)                                 In the event MedImmune delivers a Trigger Notice to Kolltan prior to the expiration of the Trigger Period, the Parties shall obtain a determination of the Product FMV as of the date on which such Trigger Notice was delivered, in accordance with this Section 5.2.2(a). Within eight (8) Business Days after MedImmune’s delivery of any Trigger Notice (the “Selection Period”), each Party shall select an independent expert suitably qualified to determine the applicable Product FMV, who, at a minimum, shall have expertise in the valuation of development-stage biological oncology products (each, an “Expert”), and the two Experts thereby selected shall, as promptly as practicable, select a third Expert (such three Experts, collectively, the “Panel”). As soon as practicable after the selection of the Panel, the Parties shall meet with the Panel in order to agree upon a process for delivering to the Panel such information in the Parties’ possession as the Panel may request in connection with the determination of the applicable Product FMV, which delivery shall be completed no later than five (5) Business Days after such initial meeting with the Panel (the “Information Delivery Period”). The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Panel to determine the applicable Product FMV and provide written notice to the Parties thereof within seven (7) Business Days after expiration of the Information Delivery Period (or, if the Panel is unable to comply with such timing, as promptly thereafter as practicable). The Panel’s determination of applicable Product FMV shall be based on the agreement of a majority of the Panel members. Subject to Section 5.3.2, the determination of the Panel shall be binding on the Parties.

For a period of five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the three (3) Business Day period described in the preceding sentence (or, if applicable, the date on which Kolltan satisfies its obligation under the preceding sentence to provide additional supporting documentation), (i) the Parties shall engage in informal, nonbinding discussions regarding their respective interests with respect to their rights and obligations under this Section 5.3 and Section 5.4 with respect to such Product Acquisition Price Notice and (ii) within twelve (12) Business Days after the conclusion of such five (5) Business Day period (each, an “Option Period”), MedImmune shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Kolltan (each, an “Exercise Notice”), to trigger the rights and obligations of the Parties under Section 5.4 with respect to such Product Acquisition Price Notice.

 

(b)           If MedImmune does not deliver an Exercise Notice to Kolltan prior to the expiration of an Option Period, then the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under Section 5.4 with respect to the applicable Product Acquisition Price Notice.  If MedImmune provides written notice to Kolltan during an Option Period that MedImmune

 

28



 

declines to provide an Exercise Notice during such Option Period, then such Option Period shall be deemed expired and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under Section 5.4 with respect to the applicable Product Acquisition Price Notice.

 

5.3.2       New Determination of Product Acquisition Price.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.2, if at any time after the delivery by the Parties of information to the Panel pursuant to Section 5.2.2(a) and prior to the expiration of the applicable Option Period or, if MedImmune delivers an Exercise Notice to Kolltan prior to the expiration of the applicable Option Period, during any period for any election or rejection by a Party under Section 5.4.1 or 5.4.2, Kolltan receives additional data from (i) any Phase 1 Clinical Trial of the Licensed Antibody or any Licensed Product, (ii) any Phase 1b/2a Clinical Trial of the Licensed Antibody or a Licensed Product or (iii) any non-clinical studies or Development activities with respect to the Licensed Antibody or Licensed Products that would, in the case of any of (i), (ii) or (iii), likely have materially affected the determination of the Product FMV, (a) Kolltan shall promptly deliver such data to MedImmune (regardless of whether Kolltan would otherwise be required to deliver such data to MedImmune pursuant to Section 5.1) and (b) for a period of eight (8) Business Days after the date of such delivery, either Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the other Party, to trigger a new determination of the Product Acquisition Price, factoring in such new information. If either Party exercises its right under clause (b) above, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, (w) ongoing activities (if any) to determine the Product Acquisition Price shall terminate, (x) the current Option Period (if any) shall be deemed expired without MedImmune’s having delivered an Exercise Notice, (y) the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under Section 5.4 with respect to any Product Acquisition Price Notice delivered prior such Party’s exercise of its right under clause (b) above, and (z) a new determination of the Product FMV and the Product Acquisition Price shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2.2 (which shall again trigger the applicable provisions of this Section 5.3 and Section 5.4); provided, however, that the costs and expenses of the Panel for such new determination shall be borne by the Party that exercised its right under clause (b) above.

 

5.4          Kolltan Election; MedImmune Rights.

 

5.4.1       Kolltan Election.  In the event MedImmune delivers an Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 5.3.1(a) with respect to any Product Acquisition Price Notice, Kolltan shall elect, in its sole discretion, by written notice to MedImmune delivered within three (3) Business Days after MedImmune’s delivery of such Exercise Notice (the “Election Notice”), one of the following:

obligation shall be analogous to the transfer obligations described in Section 3.6.3(b) and 3.6.4(b);

 

(ii)           Kolltan shall determine in good faith the Qualified Bidder that is the preferred bidder and Kolltan shall negotiate, in good faith on behalf of the Parties, the terms of an agreement (the “Auction License Agreement”) with such Qualified Bidder that, subject to the other provisions of clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 5.4.3(e), does not treat either Kolltan or MedImmune preferentially vis-à-vis the other (the “Auction License Agreement”); provided, however, that Kolltan shall (x) reasonably consult with MedImmune with respect to such actions and provide sufficient opportunity for MedImmune to review and comment upon the material terms of such Auction License Agreement, and (y) reasonably incorporate any reasonable comments provided by MedImmune with respect to any provisions of the Auction License Agreement relating to the MedImmune Manufacturing Know-How and otherwise consider in good faith any reasonable comments provided by MedImmune with respect to the Auction License Agreement; and provided, further, that the Auction License Agreement shall provide that the proceeds of any payments to be made by such Third Party with respect to the Licensed Program shall be split evenly between the Parties, subject to the provisions of clause (iv) below;

 

(iii)          upon the completion of such negotiations, Kolltan and MedImmune shall execute the Auction License Agreement with such Third Party;

 

(iv)          (x) upon execution of the Auction License Agreement, each Party shall provide the other Party with written notice of the reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by such Party in connection with their activities under clauses (i) through (iii) above (along with reasonable supporting documentation as requested by the other Party), and Kolltan or MedImmune, as the case may be, shall make an appropriate reconciling payment to the other so that, after giving effect to such reconciling payment, each Party will have borne fifty percent (50%) of their collective expenses described in this clause (x), and (y) MedImmune’s share of the proceeds of any payments to be made by the applicable Third Party with respect to the Licensed Program shall be paid to Kolltan (whether directly from such Third Party or from MedImmune following its receipt thereof) until such time as Kolltan has received from MedImmune’s share of such proceeds the amount that MedImmune would have been obligated to pay Kolltan under the applicable scenario as an upfront payment under the Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement (as set forth in the “Upfront payment” section of Exhibit 5.4.1(c)); and

 

(v)           effective upon the effective date of the Auction License Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Licensed Program in accordance with Section 11.5.

 

5.4.4       Determination of Kolltan Development Costs.  The amount payable by Kolltan or MedImmune, as applicable, under Section 5.4.3 or pursuant to the Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement shall be based on Kolltan’s good faith estimate, as delivered to MedImmune together with the Election Notice or in the most recent update described in the last sentence of Section 5.4.1, of the Kolltan Development Costs as of the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which the applicable payment

would be made under the applicable scenario (the “Estimated Kolltan Development Costs”); provided, however, that within thirty (30) days after the applicable payment is made, Kolltan shall provide written notice to MedImmune of its final determination of the Kolltan Development Costs as of the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such payment was made (the “Final Kolltan Development Costs”), together with reasonable supporting documentation.  In the event there was any underpayment or overpayment by the applicable Party based on Kolltan’s final determination, an appropriate reconciling payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice.  Kolltan’s determination of the Final Kolltan Development Costs shall be subject to MedImmune’s rights as an Auditing Party under Section 6.10; provided, however, that (a) MedImmune’s right to audit the Final Kolltan Development Costs pursuant to this Section 5.4.4 shall be independent of the determination of whether MedImmune has exercised its annual right as an Auditing Party in any applicable year pursuant to Section 6.10, (b) MedImmune shall pay the full cost of such audit unless (i) the applicable payment made by Kolltan or MedImmune in accordance with Section 5.4.3 was calculated on the basis of the Kolltan Development Costs and (ii) such audit shows that the Final Kolltan Development Costs exceeded [**] percent ([**]%) of the Kolltan Development Costs as of the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such payment was made, as determined by the auditors (the “Actual Kolltan Development Costs”), in which case Kolltan shall pay the full cost of such audit, and (c) if (i) the applicable payment made by Kolltan or MedImmune in accordance with Section 5.4.3 was calculated on the basis of the Kolltan Development Costs and (ii) such audit shows that the Actual Kolltan Development Costs exceeded [**] percent ([**]%) of the Estimated Kolltan Development Costs, then Kolltan shall be solely responsible for such excess costs; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (c), Actual Kolltan Development Costs excludes any Kolltan Development Costs incurred in any calendar month after the calendar month that Kolltan projected (for purposes of the Estimated Kolltan Development Costs calculation) to be the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which the applicable payment would be made under the applicable scenario under Section 5.4.3 or pursuant to the Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement, to the extent such payment was actually made in a later calendar month due to (x) the actual time required for the negotiation of the Co-Development and Co-Commercialization Agreement or (y) any delay caused by MedImmune.

 

5.5          Restriction.  Prior to and during the Trigger Period and any Option Period, Kolltan shall not initiate discussions with any Third Party regarding, or consummate, any Third Party Transaction.  “Third Party Transaction” means any acquisition by a Third Party of, or the grant of any license or sublicense to a Third Party under, Kolltan’s rights to Research, Develop, Manufacture, or Commercialize the Licensed Antibody or Licensed Products; provided, however, that any transaction that does not conflict with MedImmune’s rights under Section 5.4, including any Kolltan Sale or Financing or any assignment or deemed assignment of this Agreement by Kolltan in connection with a Kolltan Sale or Financing, shall not be deemed a Third Party Transaction.

6.4.2       MRC Agreement.  In addition to the royalties described in Section 6.4.1, for each Licensed Product, Kolltan shall pay MedImmune a royalty equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales of such Licensed Product.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any sale or other transfer for consideration of any Licensed Product by Kolltan or its applicable Affiliate or Sublicensee, MedImmune or its applicable Affiliate is not required to pay royalties under the MRC Agreement, or is required to pay royalties under the MRC Agreement at a rate that is lower than [**] percent ([**]%) of Net Sales of such Licensed Product, then the royalty payable by Kolltan to MedImmune under this Section 6.4.2 with respect to such sale or other transfer for consideration shall be accordingly reduced.  MedImmune shall promptly notify Kolltan of the occurrence of any event or circumstance that would trigger a reduced royalty payment obligation under the previous sentence.

 

6.4.3       Reductions.

 

(a)           Third Party Royalty Reduction.  If Kolltan or its Affiliate or Sublicensee decides in its sole discretion to acquire a license or other rights from any Third Party (other than under any In-Licensed IP) under any Patents or Know-How controlled by such Third Party in order to Research, Develop, Manufacture, or Commercialize the Licensed Antibody or Licensed Products without infringing or misappropriating such Patents or Know-How and, pursuant to the applicable agreement with such Third Party, is required to pay royalties based on sales of a Licensed Product by Kolltan or its applicable Affiliate or Sublicensee in any Calendar Quarter, then the royalties that, but for this Section 6.4.3(a) and Section 6.4.3(b), would be payable by Kolltan to MedImmune with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such Calendar Quarter shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%) of the royalties payable by Kolltan or its applicable Affiliate or Sublicensee under such Third Party agreement with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such Calendar Quarter; provided, however, that this Section 6.4.3(a) shall not operate to reduce (i) the royalties that, but for this Section 6.4.3(a) and Section 6.4.3(b), would be payable by Kolltan to MedImmune with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such Calendar Quarter by more than [**] percent ([**]%), or (ii) the royalties payable under Section 6.4.2.

 

(b)           Know-How Only Reduction. If, for any portion of any Calendar Quarter, any Licensed Product sold by Kolltan or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in any country is not Covered by a Valid Claim of an issued MedImmune Patent in such country, then the royalties that, but for this Section 6.4.3(b) (but after giving effect to Section 6.4.3(a)), would be payable by Kolltan to MedImmune with respect to sales of such Licensed Product in such country in such Calendar Quarter shall be reduced by [**] percent ([**]%); provided, however, that this Section 6.4.3(b) shall not operate to reduce the royalties payable under Section 6.4.2.

 

6.4.4       Payments under Certain In-License Agreements.  Each Party shall perform its obligations under Exhibit 6.4.4.

 

6.4.5       Effect of Expiration of Royalty Term.  On a Licensed Product by Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, upon expiration of the Royalty Term for a Licensed Product in a country, the rights, licenses and sublicenses granted to Kolltan hereunder with respect to such Licensed Product in such country shall continue in effect but become fully paid-

up, royalty-free, transferable (to the extent not transferable previously), perpetual and irrevocable.

 

6.4.6       Follow-On Products.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 (including Exhibit 6.4.4) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to Follow-On Products; provided, however, that except with respect to the royalties payable pursuant to Section 6.4.2 and the payments described in Exhibit 6.4.4, the amounts payable by Kolltan under this Section 6.4 with respect to Follow-On Products shall be [**] percent ([**]%) of the corresponding amounts payable by Kolltan under this Section 6.4 with respect to Licensed Products.

 

6.5          Healthcare Reform Tax.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of determining the sales milestones and royalties payable by Kolltan under Sections 6.2.4 and 6.4, Kolltan shall have the right to offset from Net Sales of Licensed Products sold in the United States that portion of the annual fee paid by Kolltan and its Affiliates and Sublicensees to the United States Government pursuant to Section 9008 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Pub. L. No. 111-148 (as may be amended) reasonably attributable to Licensed Products, as determined in accordance with an equitable method as agreed in good faith by the Parties.  This Section 6.5 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to Follow-On Products.

 

6.6          Reports; Payments.  Within sixty (60) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter during which there are Net Sales giving rise to a payment obligation under Section 6.2.4 or 6.4, Kolltan shall submit to MedImmune a report identifying for each Licensed Product, the Net Sales of such Licensed Product for each country for such Calendar Quarter, the calculation of royalties (including gross sales and all deductions taken from gross sales), and the sales milestones and royalties payable to MedImmune.  Together with the delivery of each such report, Kolltan shall pay to MedImmune the sales milestones and royalties payable by it under Sections 6.2.4 and 6.4.  This Section 6.6 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to Follow-On Products.

 

6.7          Methods of Payments.  All payments due under this Agreement shall be paid in Dollars by wire transfer to a bank in the United States designated in writing by MedImmune.  For the purpose of calculating any amounts due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than Dollars), a Party shall convert any amount expressed in a foreign currency into Dollar equivalents using its, its Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s standard conversion methodology consistent with the Accounting Standards.

 

6.8          Late Payments.  Any amount owed by a Party to the other Party under this Agreement that is not paid on or before the date such payment is due as set forth herein shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lower of (i) [**], or (ii) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law.

 

6.9          Taxes.

 

6.9.1       Withholding Taxes.  All payments due and payable by a Party (the “Paying Party”) under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding, unless such deduction or withholding tax is required by Applicable Law.  If the Paying Party is so required to deduct or withhold, the Paying Party shall (a) promptly notify the other Party (the

 

38



 

Non-Paying Party”) of such requirement; (b) remit to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against the Non-Paying Party; and (c) promptly forward to the Non-Paying Party an official receipt (or certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Non-Paying Party evidencing such payment to such authorities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Non-Paying Party is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, or recovery of, the applicable deduction or withholding tax, it may deliver to the Paying Party or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of the Paying Party to the extent that this is reasonably required) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the deduction or applicable rate of withholding or to relieve the Paying Party of its obligation to deduct or withhold tax, and the Paying Party shall apply the reduced deduction or rate of withholding, or dispense with deduction or withholding, as the case may be, provided that the Paying Party has received evidence of the Non-Paying Party’s delivery of all applicable forms (and, if necessary, its receipt of appropriate governmental authorization).

 

6.9.2       Withholding Taxes Resulting from Withholding Tax Action.  If the Paying Party (or its Affiliates or successors) is required to make a payment to the Non-Paying Party subject to a deduction or withholding of tax, then if such deduction or withholding of tax obligation arises or is increased solely as a result of the assignment or transfer of all or a portion of this Agreement by the Paying Party (or its Affiliates or successors) as a result of which payments arise or are deemed to arise in a territory other than in the United States, or there is a change in the tax residency of the Paying Party (or its Affiliates or successors), or the payments arise or are deemed to arise through a branch of the Paying Party in a territory other than the United States (a “Paying Party Withholding Tax Action”), then notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the payment by the Paying Party (in respect of which such deduction and withholding of tax is required to be made) shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that the Non-Paying Party receives an amount equal to the same amount that it would have received had no Paying Party Withholding Tax Action occurred.

 

6.9.3       Indirect Taxes. All payments are exclusive of Indirect Taxes.  If any Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any payments, the Paying Party shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of such payments following receipt, where applicable, of an Indirect Taxes invoice in the appropriate form issued by the Non-Paying Party in respect of those payments.  The Parties shall issue invoices for all amounts payable under this Agreement consistent with Indirect Tax requirements and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes. If such amounts of Indirect Taxes are refunded to the Non-Paying Party by the applicable tax authority or other fiscal authority subsequent to payment, the Non-Paying Party will transfer such amount to the Paying Party within forty-five (45) days of receipt.  For purposes of this section, “Indirect Taxes” shall mean value added taxes, sales taxes, consumption taxes and other similar taxes.

 

6.10        Books and Records; Audit Rights.  Each Party (the “Audited Party”) shall keep (and, in the case of Kolltan, shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep) complete, true and accurate books and records in accordance with the Accounting Standards in sufficient detail for the other Party (the “Auditing Party”) to determine the amount of any payments due to such Party under this Agreement. Each Auditing Party shall have the right, once annually at its own expense, to

have an independent, certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing, selected by the Auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the Audited Party, review any such records of the Audited Party in the location(s) where such records are maintained by the Audited Party upon reasonable notice (which shall be no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice) and during regular business hours and under obligations of confidence, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the amounts paid under this Agreement within a two (2) year period preceding the date of the request for review.  The Audited Party shall (and, in the case of Kolltan as the Audited Party, shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to) make its (and their) personnel reasonably available to answer queries reasonably required for such report. The report of such accounting firm shall be limited to a certificate stating whether any report made or invoice or payment submitted by the Audited Party during such period is accurate or inaccurate and the amounts of any discrepancy.  No other information shall be provided to the Auditing Party.  The Audited Party shall receive a copy of each such report concurrently with receipt by the Auditing Party.  Should such inspection lead to the discovery of a discrepancy to the Auditing Party’s detriment, the Audited Party shall pay the amount of the discrepancy within thirty (30) days after its receipt from the accounting firm of the certificate showing the amount of the discrepancy.  The Auditing Party shall pay the full cost of the review unless the underpayment is greater than [**] percent ([**]%) of the amount due for the applicable period, in which case the Audited Party shall pay the reasonable costs charged by such accounting firm for such review.

7.3          Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents.

 

7.3.1       Kolltan Rights.

 

(a)           Kolltan shall have (i) the sole right, at Kolltan’s discretion and expense, to file, prosecute, and maintain (including with respect to any interference, derivation, re-issuance, re-examination, opposition or other post-grant proceedings) any Kolltan Patents throughout the world, and (ii) the first right, at Kolltan’s discretion (subject to the remainder of this Section 7.3.1), to file, prosecute, and maintain (including with respect to any interference, derivation, re-issuance, re-examination, opposition or other post-grant proceedings) (x) any MedImmune Patents throughout the world (subject to Section 12.10 of the Dyax Agreement) and (y) any Joint Patents throughout the world.

 

(b)           Promptly after the Effective Date, MedImmune shall transfer or disclose to Kolltan, in whatever manner or form Kolltan may reasonably request, all documents, correspondence and other information and materials Controlled by MedImmune as of the Effective Date that relate to the MedImmune Patents as reasonably necessary for Kolltan to exercise its rights under clause (ii)(x) of Section 7.3.1(a).  Such transfers and disclosures shall be made (i) in any manner or form reasonably requested by Kolltan and (ii) at MedImmune’s expense; provided, however, if at Kolltan’s request any such transfer or disclosure is made in any manner or form that is not reasonably standard in the biopharmaceutical industry for transfers or disclosures of a similar kind, such transfer or disclosure shall be made at Kolltan’s expense.

 

(c)           MedImmune shall reimburse Kolltan for the reasonable Out-of-Pocket Costs of Kolltan in the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any MedImmune Patent or Joint Patent; provided, however, that MedImmune shall have the right to assign any such Patent in any country (or, in case of a Joint Patent, to assign MedImmune’s interest in such Joint Patent in any country) to Kolltan, in which case such Patent (or Joint Patent) in such country shall thereafter be deemed a Kolltan Patent, or (in the case of a MedImmune Patent) to cause the abandonment of any such Patent in any country, at Kolltan’s election, and thereby to terminate MedImmune’s obligation to reimburse such costs incurred thereafter, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Kolltan.  Kolltan will provide an invoice to MedImmune for reimbursement of Out-of-Pocket Costs within 90 days of receiving an invoice from a Third Party for such Out-of-Pocket Costs.

 

(d)           The Parties shall work together in good faith to agree upon a strategy for the prosecution of any MedImmune Patents and Joint Patents, including the list of countries in which such Patents will be filed; provided, however, that (subject to Section 7.3.1(e)) Kolltan shall have the final right to make such determinations.  Kolltan shall provide MedImmune with a draft of any prosecution filing related to any MedImmune Patents or Joint Patents at least thirty (30) days in advance of submission (or, if such timing is not practicable, as far in advance of submission as practicable) and shall provide MedImmune an opportunity to provide comments on and make requests of Kolltan concerning such filing and shall consider in good faith any comments or requests regarding such filing that MedImmune may timely provide.  In

 

41



 

addition, Kolltan shall provide to MedImmune such other information related to prosecution of any MedImmune Patents or Joint Patents as MedImmune may from time to time reasonably request to allow MedImmune to track prosecution and maintenance of such Patents and shall consider in good faith any comments that MedImmune may provide with respect to such matters.

 

(e)           Kolltan shall give MedImmune written notice reasonably, but in no event less than thirty (30) days, in advance of any decision by Kolltan not to file an application for or to abandon the prosecution of or otherwise not maintain or extend any MedImmune Patent or Joint Patent in any country.  Upon receiving such notice, MedImmune shall have the right, at its own cost, to file, prosecute, maintain and extend, as the case may be, such MedImmune Patent or Joint Patent, in MedImmune’s name, in such country; provided, however, that MedImmune shall not exercise such right without the prior written consent of Kolltan (which Kolltan may withhold in its sole discretion) if Kolltan’s decision not to file an application for or to abandon the prosecution of or otherwise not maintain or extend such MedImmune Patent or Joint Patent is made for strategic business reasons (e.g., in countries with compulsory licensing policies).  If MedImmune exercises its rights under this Section 7.3.1(e) with respect to any Joint Patent in any country, Kolltan shall (i) assign its entire right, title and interest in such Joint Patent in such country to MedImmune, (ii) use reasonable efforts to make its authorized attorneys, agents or representatives available to MedImmune and to assist MedImmune in obtaining and maintaining such patent protection, and (iii) sign or use reasonable efforts to have signed all legal documents necessary to file and prosecute such Joint Patent or to obtain or maintain such Joint Patent.

 

7.3.2       MedImmune Rights.

 

(a)           MedImmune shall have (i) the sole right, at MedImmune’s discretion and expense, to file, prosecute, and maintain (including with respect to any interference, derivation, re-issuance, re-examination, opposition or other post-grant proceedings) any MedImmune Manufacturing Patents throughout the world, and (ii) the first right, at MedImmune’s discretion (subject to the remainder of this Section 7.3.2) and expense, to file, prosecute, and maintain (including with respect to any interference, derivation, re-issuance, re-examination, opposition or other post-grant proceedings) any MedImmune Additional Patents throughout the world.

 

(b)           The Parties shall work together in good faith to agree upon a strategy for the prosecution of any MedImmune Additional Patents, including the list of countries in which such MedImmune Additional Patents will be filed; provided, however, that (subject to Section 7.3.2(c)) MedImmune shall have the final right to make such determinations. MedImmune shall provide Kolltan with a draft of any prosecution filing related to any MedImmune Additional Patents at least thirty (30) days in advance of submission (or, if such timing is not practicable, as far in advance of submission as practicable) and shall provide Kolltan an opportunity to provide comments on and make requests of MedImmune concerning such filing and shall consider in good faith any comments or requests regarding such filing that Kolltan may timely provide.  In addition, MedImmune shall provide to Kolltan such other information related to prosecution of any MedImmune Additional Patents as Kolltan may from time to time reasonably request to allow Kolltan to track prosecution and maintenance of such Patents and shall consider in good faith any comments that Kolltan may provide with respect to such matters.

 

42



 

(c)           MedImmune shall give Kolltan written notice reasonably, but in no event less than thirty (30) days, in advance of any decision by MedImmune not to file an application for or to abandon the prosecution of or otherwise not maintain or extend any MedImmune Additional Patents in any country.  Upon receiving such notice, Kolltan shall have the right, at its own cost, to file, prosecute, maintain and extend, as the case may be, such MedImmune Additional Patents, in Kolltan’s name, in such country; provided, however, that Kolltan shall not exercise such right without the prior written consent of MedImmune (which MedImmune may withhold in its sole discretion) if MedImmune’s decision not to file an application for or to abandon the prosecution of or otherwise not maintain or extend such MedImmune Additional Patent is made for strategic business reasons (e.g., in countries with compulsory licensing policies).

 

7.4          Third Party Infringement.

 

7.4.1       Notice.  Each Party shall promptly report in writing to the other Party any known or suspected (a) infringement of any of the MedImmune Patents, MedImmune Additional Patents, Kolltan Patents or Joint Patents; (b) unauthorized use or misappropriation of any of the MedImmune Know-How, MedImmune Additional Know-How, Kolltan Know-How or Joint Know-How of which such Party becomes aware; or (c) notification under the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, as amended, or any similar law, from a biosimilar applicant arising from the filing of an application for the Regulatory Approval of a product intending to show that such product is biosimilar to any Licensed Product (or, in the case of MedImmune as the notifying Party, any Follow-On Product) that is a reference product for which a claim of infringement of any of the MedImmune Patents, MedImmune Additional Patents, Kolltan Patents or Joint Patents by the manufacture or sale of such product could reasonably be asserted, and shall provide the other Party with all available evidence regarding such known or suspected infringement or unauthorized use.

 

7.4.2       Enforcement of Patents.

 

(a)           Kolltan Rights.

 

(i)            Kolltan shall have (x) the sole right, but not the obligation, to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action to enforce any Kolltan Patents throughout the world and (y) the first right, but not the obligation, to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action to enforce (A) any MedImmune Patents throughout the world and (B) any Joint Patents throughout the world; provided, however, that Kolltan shall not initiate any such lawsuit or take such other action with respect to any matter described in this clause (y) without first consulting with MedImmune and giving good faith consideration to any reasonable objection from MedImmune regarding Kolltan’s proposed course of action.  MedImmune shall cooperate in the prosecution of any suit under this Section 7.4.2(a)(i) as may be reasonably requested by Kolltan (including joining such suit as a plaintiff if Kolltan is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name); provided, however, that Kolltan shall promptly reimburse all Out-of-Pocket Costs (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of MedImmune in connection with such cooperation.  In connection with any such proceeding, Kolltan shall not enter into any settlement admitting the invalidity of, or otherwise impairing MedImmune’s rights in, any MedImmune IP or Joint IP without the prior written consent of MedImmune.

 

43



 

(ii)           Any recoveries resulting from an action brought by Kolltan under Section 7.4.2(a)(i) shall (x) first be applied to reimburse each Party for all Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred by such Party in connection with such proceeding (on a pro rata basis, based on each Party’s respective litigation costs, to the extent the recovery was less than all such litigation costs), and (y) second, as to any remainder after such reimbursements are made, be retained by Kolltan; provided, however, that (A) to the extent the award is based on lost profits with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, MedImmune shall receive an amount equal to the royalty that would be payable, pursuant to Section 6.4, on the imputed amount of Net Sales of such Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, in the country in which such infringement occurred based on the amount retained by Kolltan under this clause (y), and (B) to the extent the award reflects the amount of reasonable royalty payments due to Kolltan with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product (excluding, for clarity, any award to the extent described in clause (A) above), the amount retained by Kolltan under this clause (y) shall be deemed Net Sales hereunder (and accordingly subject to any applicable royalty obligation under Section 6.4).

 

(iii)          If Kolltan in good faith does not intend to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action with respect to any matter described in clause (y) of Section 7.4.2(a)(i), then Kolltan shall notify MedImmune thereof (x) if there is no time limit for the filing of such action, within sixty (60) days following the notice of alleged infringement, or (y) if there is a time limit for the filing of such action (including those set forth in Applicable Law), at least fifteen (15) days before the time limit, and upon receipt of such notice MedImmune shall have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate such lawsuit or take such other action, after providing thirty (30) days (or five (5) days in the event there is a time limit) notice to Kolltan and giving good faith consideration to Kolltan’s reason(s) for not initiating a lawsuit or taking other action; provided, however, that MedImmune shall not initiate such a lawsuit or take such other action without the prior written consent of Kolltan (which Kolltan may withhold in its sole discretion) if Kolltan’s decision not to exercise its first right with respect thereto was made for strategic business reasons. Kolltan shall cooperate in the prosecution of any suit initiated by MedImmune to the extent permitted by the prior sentence as may be reasonably requested by MedImmune (including joining such suit as a plaintiff if MedImmune is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name); provided, however, that MedImmune shall promptly reimburse all Out-of-Pocket Costs (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of Kolltan in connection with such cooperation. Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, any recoveries resulting from such an action brought by MedImmune in accordance with this Section 7.4.2(a)(iii)shall be retained by MedImmune.

 

(b)           MedImmune Rights.

 

(i)            MedImmune shall have (x) the sole right, but not the obligation, to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action to enforce any MedImmune Manufacturing Patents throughout the world and (y) the first right, but not the obligation, to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action to enforce any MedImmune Additional Patents throughout the world; provided, however, that MedImmune shall not initiate any such lawsuit or take such other action with respect to any matter described in this clause (y) without first consulting with Kolltan and giving good faith consideration to any reasonable objection from Kolltan regarding MedImmune’s proposed course of action.  Kolltan shall cooperate in the

 

44



 

prosecution of any suit under this Section 7.4.2(b)(i) as may be reasonably requested by MedImmune (including joining such suit as a plaintiff if MedImmune is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name); provided, however, that MedImmune shall promptly reimburse all Out-of-Pocket Costs (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of Kolltan in connection with such cooperation.  In connection with any such proceeding, MedImmune shall not enter into any settlement admitting the invalidity of, or otherwise impairing Kolltan’s rights in, any MedImmune Additional IP without the prior written consent of Kolltan.

 

(ii)           With respect to any lawsuit initiated or other action taken by MedImmune under clause (y) of Section 7.4.2(b)(i), (w) MedImmune shall keep Kolltan reasonably informed of the status of such lawsuit or action; (x) without limiting clause (w), MedImmune shall provide Kolltan with copies of any court filings or other material documents or correspondence received from any Third Party in connection with such lawsuit or action promptly after such filings or documents or correspondence are received by MedImmune; (y) MedImmune shall consult with Kolltan with respect to such lawsuit or action and consider any comments from Kolltan with respect to such lawsuit or action in good faith; and (z) without limiting clause (y), MedImmune shall provide Kolltan with drafts of any court filings or other material documents or correspondence to be filed or delivered by MedImmune prior to the date of filing or delivery such that Kolltan has a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments, and to the extent Kolltan provides comments thereon promptly and in sufficient time to allow MedImmune to meet applicable filing requirements, MedImmune shall consider such comments in good faith.

 

(iii)          Any recoveries resulting from an action brought by MedImmune under Section 7.4.2(b)(i) shall (x) first be applied to reimburse each Party for all Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred by such Party in connection with such proceeding (on a pro rata basis, based on each Party’s respective litigation costs, to the extent the recovery was less than all such litigation costs), and (y) second, as to any remainder after such reimbursements are made, (A) to the extent the award is based on lost profits with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, such remainder shall be retained by Kolltan; provided, however, that if the award is based on lost profits with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, then MedImmune shall receive an amount equal to the royalty that would be payable, pursuant to Section 6.4, on the imputed amount of Net Sales of such Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, in the country in which such infringement occurred based on the amount retained by Kolltan under this clause (A); (B) to the extent the award reflects the amount of reasonable royalty payments due to Kolltan with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product (excluding, for clarity, any award to the extent described in clause (A) above), such remainder shall be retained by Kolltan; provided, however, that if the award is based on the amount of reasonable royalty payments due to Kolltan with respect to a Licensed Product or Follow-On Product, as applicable, then the amount retained by Kolltan under this clause (B) shall be deemed Net Sales hereunder (and accordingly subject to any applicable royalty obligation under Section 6.4); and (C) to the extent the award is not described in clauses (A) or (B) above, such remainder shall be equitably divided between MedImmune and Kolltan.

 

(iv)          If MedImmune in good faith does not intend to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action with respect to any matter described in clause (y) of Section 7.4.2(b)(i), then MedImmune shall notify Kolltan thereof (x) if there is no time limit for the filing of such action, within sixty (60) days following the notice of alleged infringement, or (y) if there is a time limit for the filing of such action (including those set forth in Applicable Law), at least fifteen (15) days before the time limit, and upon receipt of such notice Kolltan shall have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate such lawsuit or take such other action, after providing thirty (30) days (or five (5) days in the event there is a time limit) notice to MedImmune and giving good faith consideration to MedImmune’s reason(s) for not initiating a lawsuit or taking other action; provided, however, that Kolltan shall not initiate such a lawsuit or take such other action without the prior written consent of MedImmune (which MedImmune may withhold in its sole discretion) if MedImmune’s decision not to exercise its first right with respect thereto was made for strategic business reasons. MedImmune shall cooperate in the prosecution of any suit initiated by Kolltan to the extent permitted by the prior sentence as may be reasonably requested by Kolltan (including joining such suit as a plaintiff if Kolltan is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name); provided, however, that Kolltan shall promptly reimburse all Out-of-Pocket Costs (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of MedImmune in connection with such cooperation. Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, any recoveries resulting from such an action brought by Kolltan in accordance with this Section 7.4.2(b)(iv)shall be retained by Kolltan.

10.2        Indemnification by MedImmune.  MedImmune shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Kolltan Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses relating to or in connection with a Third Party claim arising out of (a) any activities conducted by MedImmune or its Affiliates with respect to the Licensed Antibody or Licensed Products on or prior to the Effective Date; (b) any death, personal bodily injury or damage to real or tangible personal property alleged or proven to result, directly or indirectly, from the possession, use or consumption of, or treatment with, any Licensed Antibody or Licensed Product included in or produced from the Inventory, including any product liability claims; (c) any actual or alleged infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation of any Patent or other intellectual property right of a Third Party with respect to the activities of MedImmune or its Affiliates hereunder; (d) any breach by MedImmune of its representations, warranties or covenants made under this Agreement; or (e) any illegal or negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of MedImmune or its Affiliates or any of their employees, contractors or agents, in performing any activities under or in connection with this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, whether before or after the Effective Date; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent that any such Losses (i) are attributable to an illegal act by or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Kolltan Indemnitees, or (ii) are otherwise subject to an obligation by Kolltan to indemnify the MedImmune Indemnitees under Section 10.1, as to which Losses the provisions of Section 10.4 shall apply.

 

58



 

10.3        Procedure.  In the event of a claim by a Third Party against any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Party claiming indemnification (in such capacity, the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the claim (it being understood that the failure by the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice of a Third Party claim as provided in this Section 10.3 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give prompt notice).  Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, undertake and solely manage and control, at its sole expense and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the defense of the claim.  If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake such defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense.  The Party not controlling such defense shall cooperate with the other Party and may, at its option and expense, participate in such defense with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense as set forth above and the Indemnified Party in good faith concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party (or the relevant MedImmune Indemnitee or Kolltan Indemnitee seeking indemnification) have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the Indemnified Party’s counsel may fully participate in such defense and the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the indemnified Persons solely in connection therewith.  The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof, shall provide the other Party copies of material documents and filings related to such action, suit, proceeding or claim and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto.  Except if the Indemnifying Party did not undertake defense of the claim as set forth above, or if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party (or the relevant MedImmune Indemnitee or Kolltan Indemnitee seeking indemnification) have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the Indemnified Party engages separate counsel, as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any litigation costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent.  The Indemnified Party shall not settle any such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  The Indemnifying Party shall not settle, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, any such action, suit, proceeding or claim, or consent to any judgment in respect thereof, that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or that acknowledges fault by the Indemnified Party.

 

10.4        Allocation.  In the event a claim falls within the scope of the indemnity given by each Party in Section 10.1 or 10.2, as the case may be, any payments in connection with such claim shall be apportioned between the Parties in accordance with the degree of fault attributable to each Party.

 

10.5        EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.  EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF ARTICLE 8 OR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 10, NEITHER MEDIMMUNE NOR KOLLTAN, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, WILL BE LIABLE FOR

 

59



 

ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER LIABILITY IS ASSERTED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY), INDEMNITY OR CONTRIBUTION, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF, OR OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE ANTICIPATED THE POSSIBILITY OF, ANY SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE.

Exhibit 3.6.2(c)(i) - 8



 

Exhibit 3.6.3(a)

 

Clinical and Research Supply Agreement Principles

 

1.             Supply Agreement - Overview

 

The Clinical and Research Supply Agreement (for purposes of this Exhibit, the “Supply Agreement”) will consist of general principles set forth in a main agreement and project addenda that will be entered into for specific manufacturing projects or for particular services (“Project Addenda”).  At this time the Parties anticipate separate Project Addenda for (1) research supply and Phase 1 & Phase 2 clinical supply, (2) Phase 3 clinical supply, and (3) special services not covered by the supply Project Addenda such as technology transfer (except for technology transfer by MedImmune upon termination as described below), process development, formulation development and the like.  Drug substance and drug product containing Licensed Antibody and Licensed Product are referred to in this Exhibit as “Product.”

 

1.1                     Manufacture.

 

MedImmune will manufacture for Kolltan those quantities of Product required by a Project Addendum.  Product will be manufactured and delivered in accordance with the Project Addendum and the Quality Agreement.  The Parties will agree on a forecasting procedure which may include a long term forecast and a binding forecast.

 

1.2                     Data Transfer.

 

MedImmune will provide to Kolltan a mutually agreed data set for each lot of Product to enable Kolltan to prepare documents required for Kolltan’s regulatory agency filings.  The foregoing sentence notwithstanding, MedImmune has no obligation under the Supply Agreement to disclose to Kolltan any MedImmune Manufacturing Know How related to MedImmune proprietary cell culture media and nutrient feeds used in the manufacturing process.

 

1.3                     Delivery Terms; Title and Risk of Loss.

 

Delivery terms will be FCA (Incoterms 2010) MedImmune’s facility.  Title and risk of loss or damage will pass to Kolltan upon delivery of Product to the designated carrier at MedImmune’s facility.  Kolltan will be responsible for obtaining governmental permits, consents and approvals required for export out of country of origin and for import into the destination country.

 

1.4                     Final Release of Product.

 

MedImmune will perform a manufacturer’s release of Product and will provide Kolltan with a certificate of analysis.  Kolltan will perform the final release of Product.

 

1.5                     Regulatory Matters.

 

When requested by Kolltan, MedImmune will provide to Kolltan documentation in support of GMP Manufacture of Product for filing by Kolltan with regulatory authorities in the U.S., any of the member states of the European Union, or other jurisdictions mutually agreed in writing.  If supporting such approval would require material changes or significant resources, then the Parties will first prepare a written action plan, which includes responsibilities and costs.

 

Exhibit 3.6.3(a) - 1



 

1.6                     Assistance to Kolltan.

 

MedImmune will provide reasonable assistance to Kolltan with respect to any filings related to the Product that Kolltan may wish to make to a regulatory authority; such assistance may include providing to Kolltan requested documentation with respect to the services performed under the Supply Agreement.  MedImmune further will provide reasonable assistance to Kolltan with respect to Kolltan responding to regulatory authorities.  Any additional assistance will be subject to a separate Project Addendum with a separate fee.

 

1.7                     Product Warranties; Acceptance and Rejection; Failure to Supply.

 

MedImmune will make customary warranties regarding any Product delivered to Kolltan under the Supply Agreement.  The Supply Agreement will contain procedures for acceptance and rejection of Product and procedures for dispute resolution related to rejection of Product.  The Supply Agreement will specify appropriate remedies for Kolltan if MedImmune fails to supply Product in a timely manner in accordance with the applicable warranties.

 

1.8                     Subcontractors

 

MedImmune may engage subcontractors identified on a list agreed by the Parties and attached as an exhibit to the Supply Agreement, to carry out MedImmune’s responsibilities under the Supply Agreement, provided that such subcontractors are subject to the applicable terms of the Supply Agreement and Quality Agreement.  The list of approved subcontractors may be updated from time to time by MedImmune with Kolltan’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  MedImmune will remain responsible for the peformance by its subcontractors of its obligations under the Supply Agreement.

 

2.             Quality; Audit

 

A quality agreement will be executed at the same time as, or prior to, the execution of a Project Addendum for GMP manufacture (the “Quality Agreement”).  The Supply Agreement will include rights for Kolltan to audit and inspect MedImmune’s books, records and facilities as reasonably required to comply with regulatory requirements or confirm MedImmune’s compliance with its obligations under the Supply Agreement.

 

3.             Pricing

 

3.1.         MedImmune will supply Product to Kolltan at rates not materially different from those charged by third party contract manufacturers.

 

3.2.         Kolltan will pay invoices within 30 days after receipt.

 

4.             Compliance with Legal and Regulatory Requirements

 

4.1.         Appropriate provisions will be included in the Supply Agreement to ensure that each Party complies with all relevant local, national and international legal or regulatory requirements and other relevant requirements applicable to the manufacture, handing, transport and storage of Product.

 

5.             Document Retention

 

5.1.         Appropriate provisions will be included in the Supply Agreement with regard to maintaining appropriate documentation for patent and regulatory purposes and in full compliance with all applicable laws.

 

Exhibit 3.6.3(a) - 2



 

6.             Product Security and Waste Disposal

 

6.1.         Appropriate provisions will be included in the Supply Agreement with regard to product security and waste handling.

 

7.             Ownership of Results and Background IPR

 

7.1.         The applicable intellectual property provisions of the Agreement will be reflected as appropriate in the Supply Agreement.

 

8.             General Provisions

 

8.1.         Each Party agrees and acknowledges that the Supply Agreement will contain a number of other provisions that are standard in the biopharmaceutical manufacture industry, including with respect to insurance, indemnification, confidentiality, assignment, governing law and jurisdiction, which will not conflict or be inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement.

 

9.             Termination

 

9.1.         Either Party shall have the right to terminate the Supply Agreement for convenience on appropriate notice (which in the case of MedImmune shall be on twelve (12) months’ notice not to be delivered prior to December 31, 2016); or for material breach of the Supply Agreement by the other Party or insolvency.

 

9.2.         The Supply Agreement shall automatically terminate:

 

9.2.1.                  upon termination of the Agreement in its entirety by MedImmune due to Kolltan’s material breach of the Agreement or insolvency; and

 

9.2.2.                  upon termination of the Agreement by Kolltan with respect to each of the Licensed Program and the Follow-On Program under Section 11.4 of the Agreement.

 

9.3.         Without limiting Section 3.6.3(b) of the Agreement (to the extent it survives termination of the Agreement, if applicable), in the event that the Supply Agreement is terminated other than (a) by MedImmune for Kolltan’s material breach of the Supply Agreement or insolvency or (b) as described in Section 9.2 of this Exhibit, MedImmune will perform such technology and knowledge transfer required to ensure continuity of supply for Kolltan.
