to fulfil AstraZeneca’s Research obligations under the Joint Research Plan for any Dynavax ISS or Collaboration ISS according to timelines agreed upon by the JSC;

(b)

if at any time AstraZeneca determines that it will cease Development of the Lead Candidate Drug or any Lead CD, then AstraZeneca shall choose another CD, or shall make a CD Nomination from the [ * ], for Development within [ * ] months of such determination;

(c)

to endeavour to complete the Development of the Lead CD or Product in a way which [ * ]; and

(d)

to endeavour to [ * ];

provided, however, that such obligations are expressly conditioned upon Dynavax and its Affiliates performing their respective obligations hereunder and such obligations of AstraZeneca shall be delayed or suspended as long as

Page 45 of 103

any such condition exists. Further, Dynavax acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Section 8.10 is intended, or shall be construed, to require AstraZeneca to Develop or Commercialise a specific CD as the Lead CD or Product, or a specific Combination Product, if the Product does not proceed. In the event that AstraZeneca decides to discontinue the Development or Commercialization of any CD as the Lead CD or the Product in favour of another CD, or if it decides to discontinue the Development or Commercialization of the Product in favour of a Combination Product its obligations under this Section 8.10 shall cease with respect to such initial CD or the Product (as appropriate) in favour of such other CD or Combination Product. AstraZeneca shall perform its obligation under this Section 8.10 in good scientific manner and in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Law. Upon satisfaction of its obligations under this Section 8.10, AstraZeneca shall be deemed to satisfy all diligence obligations owed to Dynavax hereunder, whether contractually or under Applicable Law, with respect to the Development or Commercialization of the CDs, Product or a Combination Product, and shall have no other obligation, express or implied, to Develop or Commercialize any CD, Product or any Combination Product.

8.10.2

Dynavax shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to fulfil Dynavax’s Research obligations under the Joint Research Plan for any Dynavax ISS or Collaboration ISS according to timelines agreed upon by the JSC.

It is recognised that the process of drug development is uncertain and the [ * ].

8.11	Breach of Diligence Obligations.

8.11.1

Notification and Meeting. If at any time Dynavax has a reasonable basis to believe that AstraZeneca is in material breach of its material obligations under Section 8.10, then Dynavax shall so notify AstraZeneca, specifying the basis for its belief, and the Parties shall meet within [ * ] days after such notice to discuss in good faith Dynavax’s concerns and AstraZeneca’s Development and Commercialisation plans with respect to any CD, the Product or any Combination Product.

Page 46 of 103

8.11.2

Right of Arbitration. If, after such good faith discussions, (a) AstraZeneca is in material breach of its material obligations under Section 8.10, and (b) AstraZeneca does not take reasonable steps designed to rectify such breach within [ * ] days of meeting with Dynavax pursuant to Section 8.11.1 (or, if such failure cannot be rectified within such [ * ]-day period, if AstraZeneca does not commence actions to rectify such breach within such period and thereafter diligently pursue such actions) the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith a possible resolution thereof, which good faith efforts shall include at least one in-person meeting between representatives of each Party having decision-making authority (subject only to Board of Directors’ or equivalent approval, if required). All such discussions under this Section 8.11.2 shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the matter is not resolved within [ * ] days following the request for discussions, Dynavax may thereafter commence a special arbitration pursuant to Section 24.13 in respect of such matter.

8.12	Reversion; Abandonment.

8.12.1

In the event that AstraZeneca abandons or puts the development of a Lead CD on hold for a consecutive period of time exceeding [ * ] months or an aggregate period of time exceeding [ * ] months in any [ * ]-month period, and during such period [ * ], then AstraZeneca shall notify Dynavax in writing. Dynavax may (but is not so obligated), within [ * ] months from receipt of such notification, provide written notice to AstraZeneca requesting that such Lead CD become a Reverted ISS and cease to be a Collaboration ISS or CD. Upon receipt of such notice by AstraZeneca, such CD shall be included in the license grant under Section 6.3.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing time periods shall not include any period of time during which AstraZeneca is [ * ]. AstraZeneca shall have the right to satisfy its obligations under this Section 8.12 through one or more Affiliates, Sublicensees or subcontractors.

8.12.2

In the event that Dynavax fails to make a written request to AstraZeneca pursuant to Section 8.12.1, within [ * ] months following the date on which

Page 47 of 103

Dynavax received from AstraZeneca the written notice referred to in the first sentence of such Section 8.12.1, AstraZeneca shall be under no further obligation to grant Dynavax any license or other rights to such CD or to make any such above said assignments and AstraZeneca shall retain its exclusive rights and ownership to such CD pursuant to Article 6.

8.12.3

In the event of any abandonment of a CD by AstraZeneca and reversion to Dynavax pursuant to Section 8.12.1, AstraZeneca shall, [ * ]; provided, however, that Dynavax’s above said rights shall be subject to [ * ].

9	Milestone Payments

AstraZeneca shall promptly notify Dynavax in writing of the achievement of any milestone; provided that AstraZeneca’s failure to do so shall not be construed as the non-occurrence of any milestone event.

10	Royalty Payments and Other Payment-Related Provisions

10.1	Royalties . AstraZeneca shall pay Dynavax a running royalty on Net Sales where the royalty rate is determined based on the aggregate amount of Annual Net Sales for the Product and any Combination Product in the Territory occurring in the particular calendar year as follows:

10.1.1

[ * ] on the portion of Annual Net Sales not exceeding [ * ]; and

10.1.2

[ * ] on the portion of Annual Net Sales exceeding [ * ] but not exceeding [ * ]; and

Page 49 of 103

10.1.3

[ * ] on the portion of Annual Net Sales exceeding [ * ] but not exceeding [ * ]; and

10.1.4

[ * ] on the portion of Annual Net Sales exceeding [ * ].

As used herein, “Annual Net Sales” means the Net Sales made during a given calendar year.

The calculation of royalties under this Section 10.1 shall be conducted as aggregate Net Sales for all Product and Combination Products for the applicable calendar year.

10.2	Combination Products. With respect to Combination Products, the Annual Net Sales used for the calculation of the royalties under Section 10.1 shall be determined as follows:



A	x	Net Sales of the Combination Product, where:
A - B	x	Net Sales of the Combination Product, where:

A =		Standard sales price of the Product, containing the same amount of Dynavax ISS or Collaboration ISS as the sole active ingredient as the Combination Product in question, in the given country.

B =		standard sales price of the readyforsale form of a product containing the same amount of the other therapeutically active ingredient(s) that is contained in the Combination Product in question, in the given country.

In the event, however, that if, in a specific country, (a) the other therapeutically active ingredient(s) in such Combination Product are not sold separately in such country, Net Sales shall be adjusted by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/C, where C is the standard sales price in such country of such Combination Product, and (b) if the Product containing such Dynavax ISS or Collaboration ISS is not sold separately, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction C-B/C, where B is the standard sales price in such country of the other therapeutically active ingredient(s) in the Combination Product and C is the standard sales price in such country of the Combination Product. The standard sales price for the Product containing such Dynavax ISS or Collaboration ISS and for each other active ingredient shall be for a

Page 50 of 103

quantity comparable to that used in such Combination Product and of the same class, purity and potency. If, in a specific country, both a Product containing the Dynavax ISS or or Collaboration ISS and a product containing the other active ingredients in such Combination Product are not sold separately, a market price for such Product and such other active ingredients shall be negotiated by the Parties in good faith based upon the costs, overhead and profit as are then incurred for such Combination Product and all products then being made and marketed by AstraZeneca and having an ascertainable market price that are comparable to such Product or such other active ingredients, as applicable. If, in a specific country, the foregoing calculations do not fairly represent the value of the various active ingredients included in a Combination Product, the allocation of Net Sales for such Combination Product shall be negotiated by the Parties in good faith.

10.3	Sublicensees.

10.3.1

In the event that an AstraZeneca Sublicensee sells Product or a Combination Product to Third Parties in the [ * ], such sales shall [ * ].

10.3.2

For all sales of Product or Combination Product by a Sublicensee to Third Parties outside of the [ * ], any fees, milestones and/or royalty income which AstraZeneca shall receive from the Sublicensees shall [ * ].

10.3.3

In the event that AstraZeneca sublicenses the sale of Product or a Combination Product to Third Parties outside of the [ * ], the sublicense shall be obliged to [ * ].

10.4	Royalty Stacking.

10.4.1

For the Product or any Combination Product(s) sold by AstraZeneca or its Affiliates to Third Parties (including Distributors), where the sum of royalty payments (excluding any royalty on delivery devices) owed by AstraZeneca and its Affiliates to Dynavax and any Third Parties in any calendar year exceeds [ * ] of Net Sales for a given Product or Combination Product for that period, the royalty rate payable to Dynavax shall be reduced [ * ] such that the aggregate royalty rate payable by AstraZeneca on the Product or Combination Product, [ * ], would equal [ * ] of Net Sales thereof.

Page 51 of 103

10.4.2

In the case of the Product or a Combination Product which is developed or commercialised by a Sublicensee of AstraZeneca, where AstraZeneca is legally required to make payment to one or more Third Parties in order that such Sublicensee may develop or commercialise such Product or Combination Product, then if the sum of royalty payments (excluding any royalty payments on delivery devices) owed by AstraZeneca and its Affiliates to Dynavax and any such Third Parties exceeds [ * ] of all amounts received by AstraZeneca from such Sublicensee that are subject to the royalty obligations of AstraZeneca under Section 10.1 the royalty rate under Section 10.1 shall be reduced [ * ] such that the aggregate amount payable by AstraZeneca to Dynavax and any such Third Parties with respect to such Product or Combination Product, [ * ], would equal [ * ] of the amounts received by AstraZeneca from such Sublicensee that are subject to the royalty obligations of AstraZeneca under Section 10.1.

10.5	[ * ] Royalty and [ * ].

10.5.1

Subject to Section 10.3.3, Dynavax shall pay any and all royalties arising from the sale of the Product or any Combination Product(s) owed the [ * ] under the [ * ].

10.6	Reduction of Royalty .

10.6.1

Competition. In the event that, in a country in the Territory, generic competition with respect to the Product or a Combination Product occurs by a product or products having [ * ] (each such product, a “Competing Product”), and such Competing Product has any sales in a Calendar Quarter in such country, then for the purposes of calculating the royalties of such Product or Combination Product under Section 10.1, then, subject to Section 10.7, [ * ] of the Net Sales in such country shall be disregarded. The calculation of the royalty reduction under this Section 10.6.1 shall be conducted separately for each Product or Combination Product.

If the number of units sold of a Competing Product represents [ * ] of the aggregate number of units sold of all products in the relevant [ * ] class to which the Product or Collaboration Product has been allocated, including the Product and any Combination Product, in a country in the Territory as reported by [ * ] or any comparable reporting agency in a Calendar Year, then AstraZeneca shall have the right, but not the obligation, to [ * ].

10.6.2

Compulsory Licences. In the event that a court or a governmental agency of competent jurisdiction requires AstraZeneca or an AstraZeneca Affiliate or Sublicensee to grant a compulsory licence to a Third Party permitting such Third Party to make and sell the Product or any Combination Products in a country in the Territory, then for the purposes of calculating the royalties of the Product or Combination Product under Section 10.1, [ * ] of the Net Sales in the country in such country shall be disregarded. The calculation of the royalty reduction under this Section 10.6.2 shall be conducted separately for each Product or Combination Product. In any country where the royalty reduction of Section 10.6.1 or 10.6.2 is in effect, there shall not be any further royalty reduction pursuant to this Section 10.6.2.

10.6.3

No Valid Claim. In the event that, and in such case from and after the date on which, a Product or Combination Product is Developed and/or Commercialized in a country and is not covered by a Valid Claim or other governmental grant of exclusivity (for example, but without limitation, orphan

Page 53 of 103

drug status, Chinese monitoring period exclusivity, or any other governmental grant of exclusivity of equivalent effect) in such country, then for the purposes of calculating the royalties of such Product or Combination Product under Section 10.1, [ * ] of the Net Sales in such country shall be disregarded.

10.7

Royalty Floor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement except for Section 10.6.2, during the Royalty Term, in no event shall the net royalty rate received by Dynavax from the sale of Products be reduced to less than [ * ] of Net Sales (as determined before any reductions provided for in this Article 10 other than Section 10.6.2) for the period of time when Dynavax makes royalty payments to [ * ] as set forth in Section 10.5, or to less than [ * ] of such Net Sales thereafter. Dynavax shall promptly notify AstraZeneca in writing when payments to [ * ] as set forth in Section 10.5 are no longer being made.

10.8

Royalty Term. AstraZeneca’s obligation to pay royalties shall commence, on a country-by-country basis, with respect to each separate Product or Combination Product, on the date of First Commercial Sale of such Product or Combination Product in such country. The obligation shall expire, on a country-by-country basis, with respect to each separate Product or Combination Product on the later to occur of (a) the [ * ] anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of the first Product in such country and (b) the expiration date in such country of the last to expire of any issued Collaboration Patent or Dynavax Patent that includes at least one Valid Claim covering the sale of such separate Product or Combination Product in such country (such period, the “Royalty Term”).

Upon termination of the royalty obligations of AstraZeneca under this Section 10.8, with respect to a Product or Combination Product in any country, the licence grants to AstraZeneca in Section 6.2 shall become fully paid-up, perpetual and irrevocable with respect to such country and the Net Sales of such Product or Combination Product in such country shall be excluded from the royalty calculations in this Article 10 (including the thresholds and ceilings).

10.9

Sales Subject to Royalties. Sales between AstraZeneca, its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall not be subject to royalties hereunder. Royalties shall be calculated on AstraZeneca’s and its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ sale of the Product or Combination Products to a Third Party (including Distributors). Royalties shall be

Page 54 of 103

payable only once for any given batch of the Product or Combination Products. For purposes of determining Net Sales, the Product or Combination Product, as appropriate, shall be deemed to be sold when invoiced and a “sale” shall not include, and no royalties shall be payable on, transfers by AstraZeneca, its Affiliates or Sublicensees of free samples of Products, Combination Products or clinical trial materials containing Dynavax ISS and/or Collaboration ISS or other transfers or dispositions for charitable, promotional, pre-clinical, clinical, manufacturing, testing or qualification, regulatory or governmental purposes.

Further, any combination of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party merely because individual elements of such Confidential Information are in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party unless the combination and its principles are in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party.

13.4

Confidentiality of Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement shall be treated as Confidential Information of both Parties. Such terms may be disclosed by a Party to individuals or entities covered by 13.2.5 above, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by similar obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Article 13. Disclosure of the terms of this Agreement (but not other Confidential Information received from the other Party) may also be made, under binders of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Article 13, to actual or potential bankers, lenders, investors and acquirors of the disclosing Party.

13.5

Publications and Presentations. The Parties acknowledge that scientific publications must be strictly monitored to prevent any adverse effect from premature publication of results of the research and Development activities hereunder. Accordingly, during the Research Term neither Party shall publish, present or otherwise disclose any material related to the Joint Research Programme or the Development or Commercialization of the CDs or the Product or any Combination Product(s) without the prior written consent of the JSC and after the Research Term Dynavax shall not publish, present or otherwise disclose any material related to the Joint Research Programme or the Development or Commercialization of the CDs or the Product or any Combination Product(s) without the prior written consent of AstraZeneca. Each Party’s contribution to such results shall be duly recognised in such publications. For clarity, nothing in this Section 13.5 shall limit Dynavax’s right to publish or present, during the Research Term, the results of any studies carried out by or on behalf of Dynavax prior to the Effective Date. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party the opportunity to review any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or presentations (including verbal presentations) that relate to any Dynavax ISS or Collaboration ISS or Product or Combination Product studied under the Agreement at least [ * ] days prior to their intended submission for publication and agrees, upon request, not to submit any such abstract or manuscript for publication until the other Party is given a reasonable period of time (resulting in a total of no more than [ * ] days from the provision of such abstracts, manuscripts or presentation by one Party to the other for review until such Party’s submission of such abstracts, manuscripts or presentation for publication) to secure patent protection for any material in such publication which it believes to be patentable. Both Parties understand that a reasonable commercial strategy may require delay of publication of information or filing of patent applications. The Parties agree to review and decide whether to delay the publication and filing of patent applications under certain circumstances. Neither Party shall have the right to publish or present Confidential Information of the other Party which is subject to Section 13.1. With respect to any publication or presentation made by AstraZeneca pursuant to this Section 13.5, but without limiting anything set forth in Section 8.8.2 above, AstraZeneca shall give meaningful mention to Dynavax’s participation and contribution to the Collaboration and shall specifically mention the use of Dynavax Technology in the Dynavax ISS, Collaboration ISS, CDs, Product and/or any Combination Product.

13.6	Use of Name/Publicity.

13.6.1

Neither Party shall mention or otherwise use the name, insignia, symbol, trademark, trade name or logotype of the other Party or its Affiliates in any publication, press release, promotional material or other form of publicity without the prior written consent of the other Party in each instance (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except for those disclosures for which consent has previously been obtained or which have previously been disclosed. The restrictions imposed by this Section 13.6.1 shall not prohibit either Party from making any disclosure identifying the other Party that is required by Applicable Law or the requirements of a national securities exchange or another similar regulatory body, provided that any such disclosure shall be governed by this Article 13. Further, the restrictions imposed on each Party under this Section 13.6 are not intended, and shall not be construed, to prohibit a Party from identifying the other Party in its internal business communications, provided that any Confidential Information in such communications remains subject to this Article 13.

13.6.2

AstraZeneca and its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall have the right, with Dynavax’s prior written consent, to use the name of Dynavax and its Affiliates to the extent necessary or useful in connection with the Development and Commercialization of Product or Combination Product as contemplated by this Agreement. Additionally, with respect to any public disclosure made by AstraZeneca pursuant to this Section 13.6.2, AstraZeneca shall give meaningful mention to Dynavax’s participation and contribution to the Collaboration and shall specifically mention the use of Dynavax Technology in the Dynavax ISS, Collaboration ISS, CDs, Product and/or Combination Product, the mention in such disclosures to be approved in writing by Dynavax.

13.6.3

Page 64 of 103

other public announcement or statement concerning this Agreement or the transactions covered by it without the prior written approval of the other Party, except that each Party (after consultation with counsel) may make such announcements and disclosures, if any, as may be required by Applicable Law or the requirements of a national securities exchange or another similar regulatory body, or in connection with a public offering of securities or any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or a foreign equivalent.

14.4	Enforcement of Patent Rights.

14.4.1

In the event that either Party becomes aware of a suspected infringement by a Third Party of any Dynavax Patent licensed to AstraZeneca under this Agreement, such Party shall notify the other Party promptly, and following such notification, the Parties shall confer. Other than in respect of any Dynavax Patent solely covering a CD, Dynavax shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring an infringement action at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control. AstraZeneca, upon request of Dynavax, agrees to join in any such litigation at Dynavax’s expense and to cooperate with Dynavax in connection with such litigation. Where Dynavax notifies AstraZeneca that it does not intend to take measures to remove such infringement, Dynavax may nevertheless be joined as a party to any infringement action that is pursued and shall retain the right to be heard in such proceedings and to defend the validity of the Patent asserted by AstraZeneca. With respect to any Dynavax Patent solely covering a CD or Product, AstraZeneca shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring an infringement action at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control. Dynavax, upon request of AstraZeneca, agrees to join in any such litigation at AstraZeneca’s expense and to cooperate with AstraZeneca in connection with such litigation. Where AstraZeneca notifies Dynavax that it does not intend to take measures to remove such infringement, AstraZeneca may nevertheless be joined as a party to any infringement action that is pursued and shall retain the right to be heard in such proceedings and to defend the validity of the Patent asserted by Dynavax.

14.4.2

In the event that either Party becomes aware of a suspected infringement of any Collaboration Patent, such Party shall notify the other Party promptly. Following such notification, the Parties shall confer. Other than in respect of any Collaboration Patent solely covering a Reverted ISS, AstraZeneca shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring an infringement action or to defend such proceedings at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control. Dynavax, upon request of AstraZeneca, agrees to join in any such litigation at AstraZeneca’s expense and to cooperate with AstraZeneca in connection with such litigation. Where AstraZeneca notifies Dynavax that it does not intend to take measures to remove such

Page 67 of 103

infringement, AstraZeneca may nevertheless be joined as a party to any infringement action that is pursued and shall retain the right to be heard in such proceedings and to defend the validity of the Patent asserted by Dynavax. With respect to any Collaboration Patent solely covering a Reverted ISS, Dynavax shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring an infringement action at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control. AstraZeneca, upon request of Dynavax, agrees to join in any such litigation at Dynavax’s expense and to cooperate with Dynavax in connection with such litigation.

14.4.4

In the event either Party exercises the rights conferred in this Section 14.4 and recovers any damages or other sums in such action, suit or proceeding or in settlement thereof, such damages or other sums recovered shall first be applied to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Party in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys fees. If after such reimbursement any funds shall remain from such damages or other sums recovered, such funds shall be retained by such Party that controlled the litigation.

14.5	Third Party Litigation. In the event of any actual or threatened suit against Dynavax, AstraZeneca or its Affiliates, Sublicensees, Distributors or customers alleging that the Development and/or Commercialization of CDs, Product or Combination Product, or

Page 68 of 103

that the Development and/or Commercialization of a Collaboration Patent or the Background Technologies or any part thereof by or on behalf of AstraZeneca under this Agreement, infringes the Patent or other intellectual property rights of any Person (an “Infringement Suit”), the Party first becoming aware of such Infringement Suit shall promptly give written notice to the other Party. AstraZeneca shall have the first right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to assume direction and control of the defence of claims arising therefrom (including the right to settle such claims at its sole discretion, subject to the provisions of this Section 14.5). If AstraZeneca notifies Dynavax in writing that it does not wish to assume such direction and control, Dynavax shall have the right, but not the obligation to, at its sole cost and expense, defend against such claims; provided, however, that Dynavax shall obtain the written consent of AstraZeneca prior to ceasing to defend, settling or otherwise disposing of such claims. Dynavax shall be entitled to be joined in any proceedings that may be brought against AstraZeneca in relation to Dynavax’s Background Technology. If Dynavax does so elect to be joined, it shall pay its own costs and expenses in relation to the proceedings.

Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing, each Party shall have the right to defend itself, using the counsel of its choice and at its own expense, any claims or law suits brought against it by any Third Party, and each Party shall have the right to settle any such claims or law suits on its own behalf, so long as such settlement does not provide for the payment of money by the other Party or performance obligations, or restrictions imposed upon, the other Party.

14.6	Invalidity or Unenforceability Defences or Actions.

14.6.1

In the event that a Third Party or Sublicensee asserts, as a defence or as a counterclaim in any Infringement Suit under Section 14.5, that any AstraZeneca Patent, Dynavax Patent or Collaboration Patent covering a Dynavax ISS or Collaboration ISS is invalid or unenforceable, then the Party pursuing such Infringement Suit shall promptly give written notice to the other Party. AstraZeneca shall have the first right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to respond to such defence or defend against such

Page 69 of 103

counterclaim (as applicable), including the right to settle or otherwise compromise such claim with respect to the AstraZeneca Patents and Collaboration Patents (other than in respect of any Collaboration Patent solely covering a Reverted ISS for which Dynavax shall have the first right), and Dynavax shall have the first right to do so with respect to Dynavax Patents (other than in respect of any Dynavax Patent solely covering a CD or Product for which AstraZeneca shall have the first right). If the Party having the first right notifies the other Party in writing that it does not wish to respond to such defence or defend against such counterclaim (as applicable), the other Party shall, at its sole cost and expense, have the right but not the obligation to respond to such defence or defend against such counterclaim (as applicable); provided, however, that such other Party shall obtain the written consent of the Party having the first right prior to ceasing to defend, settling or otherwise compromising such defence or counterclaim.

14.6.2

Similarly, if a Third Party or Sublicensee asserts, in a declaratory judgment action or similar action or claim filed by such Third Party or Sublicensee, that any AstraZeneca Patent, Dynavax Patent or Collaboration Patent covering the Dynavax ISS or Collaboration ISS is invalid or unenforceable, then the Party first becoming aware of such action or claim shall promptly give written notice to the other Party. AstraZeneca shall have the first right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to defend against such action or claim, including the right to settle or otherwise compromise such claim with respect to AstraZeneca Patents and Collaboration Patents (other than in respect of any Collaboration Patent solely covering a Reverted ISS for which Dynavax shall have the first right), and Dynavax shall have the right to do so with respect to the Dynavax Patents (other than in respect of any Dynavax Patent solely covering a CD or Product for which AstraZeneca shall have the first right). If the Party having the first right to defend notifies the other Party in writing that it does not wish to respond to or defend against or settle such action or claim, the other Party shall, at its sole cost and expense, have the right but not the obligation to defend against such action or claim; provided, however, that such other Party shall obtain the written consent of the Party having the first right prior to ceasing to defend, settling or otherwise compromising of any such action or claim.

Page 70 of 103

14.7

Cooperation. The Party other than the Party defending an action or claim pursuant to this Article 14 (the “Non-Defending Party”) will provide to the other Party (the “Defending Party”) all reasonable assistance requested by the Defending Party in connection with any action, claim or suit under Article 14, including allowing the Defending Party reasonable access to the Non-Defending Party’s files and documents and to the Non-Defending Party’s personnel who may have possession of relevant information, in all cases, during normal business hours and with reasonable prior notice. In particular the Non-Defending Party will promptly make available to the Defending Party, at the Defending Party’s expense, all information in its possession or control that it is aware will assist the Defending Party in responding to any such action, claim or suit under Article 14.

14.8

Compliance with Third Party Licences. To the extent any provision in this Article 14 is inconsistent with the requirements in any licence agreement between a Party and any Third Party existing as of the Effective Date (including without limitation the license agreement between Dynavax and the Regents), including without limitation the rights and procedures for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Patents, the enforcement of any Patents, or the defense of any Third Party claims, the terms and conditions in such Third Party agreement(s) shall control.

14.9

Costs and Expenses. AstraZeneca shall have the right to [ * ]. Any royalties payable by AstraZeneca with respect to the manufacture, use or sale of Products may result in a reduction of royalties payable to Dynavax, pursuant to Section 10.4 and subject to Section 10.7. For the avoidance of doubt, where Indirect Taxes apply to milestones, royalties or costs, the Parties shall invoice these sums according to Applicable Law. Any amounts recovered by AstraZeneca in connection with any action, claim or suit under Article 14 shall first be applied to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by AstraZeneca in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys fees and any such sums remaining shall be retained by AstraZeneca and shall be included in the calculation of Net Sales.

16.2

Recall Expenses. AstraZeneca shall bear the expenses of any recall of a CD, the Product or any Combination Product; provided, however, that Dynavax shall bear the expense of a recall to the extent that such recall resulted from Dynavax’s breach of its obligations hereunder or Dynavax’s negligence or willful misconduct or intentional omission. Such expenses of recall shall include expenses for notification, destruction and return of the recalled Product or Combination Product and any refund to customers of amounts paid for the recalled Product or Combination Product.

17	Trademarks.

AstraZeneca shall have the sole right to select the Trademarks for the marketing and sale of the Product and any Combination Product(s) in the Territory. AstraZeneca shall own such Trademarks and all rights and goodwill with respect thereto. AstraZeneca agrees not to adopt or use any trademarks, brand names, words, logos, symbols, letters, designs or marks that would be confusingly similar to Dynavax’s trademarks.

except for any Losses for which Dynavax has an obligation to indemnify AstraZeneca and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 19.2.

19.2

Indemnification of AstraZeneca. In addition to any other remedy available to AstraZeneca, Dynavax shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless AstraZeneca, its Affiliates, Distributors, Sublicensees and its and their respective directors, officers and employees in full and on demand, from and against any and all Losses incurred by them to the extent resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claims against AstraZeneca, its Affiliates, Distributors or Sublicensees or their respective directors, officers or employees that:

arise or result from any intentional misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Dynavax, its Affiliates, Sublicensees or agents in performing any activity contemplated by this Agreement, or the breach of any provision of this Agreement by Dynavax;

19.2.2

allege that the claimant has suffered personal injury or death as a result of use of any product incorporating a Reverted ISS or reverted CD or of Dynavax’s development, manufacture, use, handling, storage, sale, offer for sale, importation, or other disposition of such reverted ISS, product(s) or CD(s);

19.4

Notice of Claim . An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 19.1, 19.2 or 19.3 (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”). In no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for any Loss that results from any delay in providing the Indemnification Claim Notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice shall contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of the Loss claimed (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any such Loss. For the avoidance of doubt, all indemnification claims in respect of a Party, its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall be made solely by such Party to this Agreement.

19.5	Indemnification Procedures. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Article 19 shall be governed by and contingent upon the following:

19.5.1

Assumption of Defence. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defence of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [ * ] days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defence of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgement that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defences it may assert against any Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.

19.5.2

Control of Defence. Upon the assumption of the defence of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party:

(e)

the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defence of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and

Page 80 of 103

(f)

Except as expressly provided in Section 19.5.3, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or any Indemnitee in connection with the analysis, defence or settlement of the Third Party Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless an Indemnitee from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including lawyers’ fees and costs of suit) and any Loss incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defence of the Third Party Claim with respect to such Indemnified Party or Indemnitee.

19.5.3

Right to Participate in Defence. Without limiting Section 19.5.1 or 19.5.2, any Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defence of a Third Party Claim and to retain counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such retention shall be at the Indemnitee’s own expense unless, (a) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defence and retain counsel in accordance with Section 19.5.1 (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defence), or (b) the interests of the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

19.5.4

Settlement. With respect to all Losses, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defence of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 19.5.1, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgement, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Losses, provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) no Indemnified Party or Indemnitee shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Page 81 of 103

19.5.5

Cooperation. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each other Indemnitee to, reasonably cooperate in the defence or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours by the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making the Indemnified Party, the Indemnitees and its and their employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any records or information provided, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of its related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

19.5.6

Expenses. Except as expressly provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a quarterly basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

19.6

LIMITATION ON DAMAGES. EXCEPT IN CIRCUMSTANCES OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT BY A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 19.1 OR 19.2, NO PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, MILESTONES OR ROYALTIES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF (a) THE DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE, USE OR SALE OF ANY PRODUCT OR COLLABORATION ISS DEVELOPED, MANUFACTURED OR MARKETED HEREUNDER, OR (b) ANY BREACH OF OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Page 82 of 103

19.7

Insurance . Each Party shall have and maintain such type and amounts of liability insurance as is normal and customary in the pharmaceutical industry generally for Persons similarly situated, and shall upon request provide the other Party with a copy of its policies of insurance in that regard, along with any amendments and revisions thereto.

20	Term and Termination

20.1

Term . This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) expiration or termination of all payment obligations to Dynavax under this Agreement, or (ii) the effective date of termination pursuant to Sections 20.2, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5 or 20.6 or Section 21.4 below (the “Term”). The Term shall expire on the Product, or a Combination Product by Combination Product and country by country basis within the Territory.

20.2

AstraZeneca shall promptly notify Dynavax in writing of such determination and provide Dynavax with the pertinent information with respect thereto. Promptly following the receipt of such notice from AstraZeneca, the Parties shall discuss in more detail the reasons for such termination in good faith. Following such discussion, AstraZeneca may, at its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to the Product or one or more Combination Products or one or more countries in the Territory upon [ * ] days’ prior written notice. Further, AstraZeneca shall have the right in its sole discretion to terminate this Agreement with respect to a country upon [ * ] days’ prior written notice in the event that any Governmental Authority takes, fails to take, or reasonably could be expected to take or fail to take, any action with respect to the CD, Product or any Combination Product that could have an adverse effect on the Development and/or Commercialization of the CD, Product or Combination Product(s) in such country; provided, however, that AstraZeneca shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to all of Europe if such country is in Europe and AstraZeneca shall have the right to terminate

Page 83 of 103

this Agreement in its entirety if such country is or is in a Major Market. In the event of any such termination, if such termination occurs at a time when AstraZeneca is conducting or sponsoring a clinical trial of a CD, the Product or any Combination Product, AstraZeneca shall [ * ].

20.3	Termination for Infringement of Third Party Rights.

20.3.1

If a Triggering Event occurs with respect to a country, AstraZeneca shall have the right upon written notice to Dynavax to terminate this Agreement with respect to such country if at any time (a) AstraZeneca is unable to obtain such a licence on commercially reasonable terms or (b) AstraZeneca in good faith believes that negotiation with a Third Party pursuant to Section 6.4 with respect to such country is not likely to result in a commercially reasonable agreement; provided, however, that AstraZeneca shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to all of Europe if such country is in Europe and AstraZeneca shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety if such country is or is in a Major Market.

20.3.2

If a Third Party institutes an Infringement Suit with respect to a country, AstraZeneca shall have the right upon written notice to Dynavax to terminate this Agreement with respect to such country if [ * ]; provided, however, that AstraZeneca shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to all of Europe if such country is in Europe and AstraZeneca shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety if such country is or is in a Major Market.

20.4

Termination by Dynavax for Lack of Diligence. In addition to the rights of termination in the event of material breach set forth in Section 20.5.1, Dynavax may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or on a Dynavax ISS-by-Dynavax ISS, Collaboration ISS-by-Collaboration ISS, CD by CD, Product or Combination Product-by-Combination Product basis, upon [ * ] days advance written notice to AstraZeneca in the event that an arbitrator determines pursuant to Section 24.13 that AstraZeneca has failed to fulfil its Commercially Reasonable Efforts obligations under Section 8.10.

Page 84 of 103

20.5	Termination by Either Party. In addition to any other provision of this Agreement expressly providing for termination of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated immediately by either Party upon notice to the other Party:

20.5.1

if it believes that the other Party is in material breach of this Agreement, in which case the non-breaching Party may deliver notice of such material breach to the other Party, such notice to describe in detail the nature of such breach. The allegedly breaching Party shall have [ * ] days from receipt of such notice to cure such breach (or, if such default cannot be cured within such [ * ] day period, the breaching Party must commence actions to cure such default during such [ * ] day period and diligently continue such actions until the cure is effected). Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such [ * ] day period unless the breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such [ * ] day period (or, if such default is capable of being cured but cannot be cured within such [ * ] day period, the breaching Party has commenced and diligently continued actions to cure such default provided always that, in such instance, such cure must have occurred within [ * ] days after notice thereof was provided to the breaching Party by the non-breaching Party to remedy such default);

20.5.2

if such other Party ceases or threatens to cease to carry on the whole or substantially the whole of its business or that part of its business to which this Agreement relates;

20.5.3

if such other Party shall file in any court or agency, pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an the appointment of a receiver or trustee of such other Party or of its assets, or if the other Party proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, or if the other Party shall be served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, or if the other Party shall propose or be a Party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if the other Party shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

20.5.4

if any encumbrancer takes possession of any material part of the assets of another Party; or

Page 85 of 103

20.5.5

if any distress, execution or other such process is levied or enforced upon or against any of the material assets of the other Party.

It is understood that termination pursuant to this Section 20.5 shall be a remedy of last resort and may be invoked only in the case where the breach cannot be reasonably remedied by the payment of money damages. If a Party gives notice of termination under this Section 20.5, and the other Party disputes whether such notice was proper, then the issue of whether this Agreement has been terminated shall be resolved in accordance with Article 24. If as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined that the notice of termination was proper, then such termination shall be deemed to have been effective [ * ] days following the date of receipt of the notice of termination. If as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined that the notice of termination was improper, then no termination shall have occurred and this Agreement shall remain in effect.

20.6

Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control of Dynavax at any time during the Joint Research Programme, AstraZeneca shall have the right to (a) terminate this Agreement in its entirety by delivering written notice of termination to Dynavax at any time within [ * ] months after the date of such Change of Control or (b) terminate only the Parties’ collaboration under the Joint Research Programme with immediate effect thereby ending the Research Term. In the event AstraZeneca exercises the latter option, AstraZeneca shall be under no obligation to provide Dynavax with any further compensation pursuant to Article 7 but shall remain responsible for payments under Articles 9 and 10. Following such termination of the Research Term, Dynavax shall immediately provide AstraZeneca with all Collaboration Technology generated by it under the Joint Research Programme and not previously provided to AstraZeneca and shall immediately return to AstraZeneca all AstraZeneca Confidential Information, including any and all copies thereof, and those portions of any documents, memoranda, notes, studies, analyses or other material prepared by or on behalf of Dynavax that incorporate or are derived from such Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of such termination, Dynavax shall have no further rights to use any Collaboration Technology, AstraZeneca Technology or AstraZeneca Confidential Information for any purpose in the Field. [ * ]. The Agreement shall remain valid and in full force and effect in all other respects. Upon a Change of Control of AstraZeneca at any time

Page 86 of 103

during the Term, the successor in interest and/or surviving entity shall continue to perform the obligations of and exercise the rights of AstraZeneca pursuant to this Agreement in the same manner as intended by AstraZeneca as of the Effective Date.

20.7	Consequences of Termination.

20.7.1

Payment by AstraZeneca. Upon termination of this Agreement by AstraZeneca pursuant to Section 20.2 prior to the [ * ] anniversary of the Effective Date, AstraZeneca shall make a lump sum payment to Dynavax to compensate Dynavax for such early termination in an amount equal to [ * ]; provided, however, that AstraZeneca shall have no obligation to make such payment in the event it terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 20.5.1 or 20.6 or Section 21.4. For clarity, the foregoing lump sum payment shall be in addition to any ongoing payment obligations AstraZeneca may have for existing clinical trials pursuant to Section 20.2. In addition to the lump sum, and on condition that Dynavax maintain the level of internal Dynavax FTE support existing as at the date of termination to any continuing research activities previously covered by the Joint Research Programme, AstraZeneca shall meet [ * ] of any reasonable external FTE costs Dynavax incurs during the period of [ * ] months following immediately after the date of the termination. AstraZeneca shall have no obligation to make such additional external FTE contribution in the event it terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 20.5.1 or 20.6 or Section 21.4.

20.7.2

Cessation of Obligations; Return of Materials. Upon termination of this Agreement, Dynavax shall promptly cease its performance of obligations under this Agreement.

In such case, AstraZeneca shall remain liable for [ * ] of the milestone payments and [ * ] of the royalties due under Article 10 and Section 10.7 shall cease to apply. The foregoing milestone and royalty reduction shall not be an exclusive remedy, but any claim for money damages by AstraZeneca shall be reduced by the economic effect of such [ * ] reduction in milestone payments and royalty obligations.

Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any liability that accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination. Termination of this Agreement shall not preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation.

20.9

Rights in Bankruptcy. All rights and licences granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Dynavax are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States, licences of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States (hereinafter “IP”). The Parties agree that each of the Parties, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States that provide similar protection for IP. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Dynavax on the one hand, or AstraZeneca on the other hand, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States, AstraZeneca or Dynavax, as applicable, shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any

Page 90 of 103

such IP and all embodiments of such IP, which, if not already in such Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it upon such Party’s written request therefor.

21	Force Majeure

21.1

In this Agreement, “Force Majeure” means an event which is beyond a non-performing Party’s reasonable control, including an act of God, act of the other Party, strike, lock-out or other industrial/labour dispute (whether involving the workforce of the Party so prevented or of any other Person), war, riot, civil commotion, terrorist act, malicious damage, epidemic, quarantine, fire, flood, earthquake, storm, natural disaster or compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction (including changes in the requirements of the health authorities), whether or not it is later held to be invalid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of invoices due and owing hereunder shall not be delayed by the payer because of a Force Majeure affecting the payer, unless such Force Majeure specifically precludes the payment process.

21.2

The Force Majeure Party shall, within [ * ] days of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, give notice in writing to the other Party specifying the nature and extent of the event of Force Majeure, its anticipated duration and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. Subject to providing such notice and to Section 21.1, the Force Majeure Party shall not be liable for delay in performance or for non-performance of its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, nor shall the other Party have the right to terminate this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, where non-performance or delay in performance has resulted from an event of Force Majeure. The suspension of performance allowed hereunder shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is reasonably required.

21.3	The Force Majeure Party shall use reasonable endeavours, without being obligated to incur any expenditure or cost, to bring the Force Majeure event to a close or to find a solution by which this Agreement may be performed despite the continuation of the event of Force Majeure.

Page 91 of 103

21.4

If the Force Majeure Party is prevented from performing its obligations due to a Force Majeure event for a continuous period in excess of [ * ] days after the date of the occurrence of the Force Majeure event, and such failure to perform would constitute a material breach of this Agreement in the absence of such Force Majeure event, the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith any amendments to this Agreement to permit the other Party to exercise its rights under this Agreement. If the Parties are not able to agree on such amendments within [ * ] days of commencement of such discussions and if the suspension of performance continues, such other Party may terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the Force Majeure Party, in which case neither Party shall have any liability to the other except for those rights and liabilities that accrued prior to the date of termination.

22	Assignment

22.1

Neither Party may assign its rights or, except as provided in Sections 3.5.4 , 6.6 and 6.7, delegate its obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that a Party shall always have the right, without such consent, on written notice to the other Party, assign any or all of its rights and delegate any or all of its obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates or to any successor in interest (whether by merger, acquisition, asset purchase or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business to which this Agreement relates. Any permitted successor of a Party or any permitted assignee of all of a Party’s rights under this Agreement that has also assumed all of such Party’s obligations hereunder in writing shall, upon any such succession or assignment and assumption, be deemed to be a party to this Agreement as though named herein in substitution for the assigning Party, whereupon the assigning Party shall cease to be a party to this Agreement and shall cease to have any rights or obligations under this Agreement. All validly assigned rights of a Party shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, and all validly delegated obligations of such Party shall be binding on and be enforceable against, the permitted successors and assigns of such Party. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Article 22 shall be void.

Page 92 of 103

23	Severability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties waive any provision of law that would render any provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in any respect, then such provision will be given no effect by the Parties and shall not form part of this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and if the rights or obligations of any Party will not be materially and adversely affected all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the Parties shall use their best efforts to negotiate a provision in replacement of the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is consistent with Applicable Law and achieves, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the Parties.

24	Dispute Resolution.

24.1

Disputes. The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term which relate to either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement 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 this Article 24 if and when a dispute arises under this Agreement. In the event of any disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the Parties, out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, or for the breach thereof, upon the request of either Party, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith a possible resolution thereof, which good faith efforts shall include at least one in-person meeting between representatives of each Party having decision-making authority (subject only to Board of Directors’ or equivalent approval, if required). All such discussions under this Section shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the matter is not resolved within [ * ] days following the request for discussions, either Party may then invoke the provisions of Section 24.2 below.

24.2	Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the validity, construction, interpretation, enforceability, breach, performance, application

Page 93 of 103

or termination of this Agreement that is not resolved pursuant to Section 24.1, except for a dispute, claim or controversy under Section 24.13, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”), except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (the “Federal Arbitration Act”), to the exclusion of any inconsistent state laws. The arbitration will be conducted in Wilmington, Delaware and the Parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of the United States federal courts, for any case arising out of or otherwise related to this arbitration, its conduct and its enforcement. The language used in the arbitration proceedings shall be English. Any situation not expressly covered by this Agreement shall be decided in accordance with the JAMS Rules.

24.3	Arbitrator.

The arbitrator shall be one (1) neutral, independent and impartial arbitrator selected from a pool of retired federal judges to be presented to the Parties by JAMS. Failing the agreement of the Parties as to the selection of the arbitrator within thirty (30) days, the arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMSin accordance with the JAMS Rules.

24.4

Governing Law. Resolution of all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the validity, construction, interpretation, enforcement, breach, performance, application or termination of this Agreement and any remedies relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

24.5

Decision. The power of the arbitrator to fashion procedures and remedies within the scope of this Agreement is recognized by the Parties as essential to the success of the arbitration process. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to fashion remedies which would not be available to a federal judge hearing the same dispute. The arbitrator is encouraged to operate on this premise in an effort to reach a fair and just decision. Reasons for the arbitrator’s decisions should be complete and explicit, including all determinations of law and fact.

24.6.2

If as to any issue the arbitrator should determine under the applicable law that the position taken by a Party is frivolous or otherwise irresponsible or that any wrongdoing they find is in callous disregard of law and equity or the rights of the other Party, the arbitrator shall also award an appropriate allocation of the adversary’s reasonable attorney fees, costs and expenses to be paid by the offending Party, the precise sums to be determined after a bill of attorney fees, expenses and costs consistent with such award has been presented following the award on the merits.

24.6.3

Each Party agrees to abide by the award rendered in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Article 24, and agrees that, subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, judgment may be entered upon the final award in the Federal District Court in Delaware and that other courts may award full faith and credit to such judgment in order to enforce such award.

24.7

Costs. Except as set forth in Section 24.6.2, each Party shall bear its own legal fees.

24.8

Injunctive Relief. Provided a Party has made a sufficient showing under the rules and standards set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable case law, the arbitrator shall have the freedom to invoke, and the Parties agree to abide by, injunctive measures after either Party submits in writing for arbitration claims requiring immediate relief. Nothing in this Article 24 will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief in accordance with Article 32 or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding.

24.9

Confidentiality. The arbitration proceeding shall be confidential and the arbitrator shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each Party’s Confidential Information. Except as required by law, no Party shall make (or instruct the arbitrator to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrator without prior written consent of the other Party. The existence of any dispute submitted to arbitration, and the award, shall be kept in confidence by the Parties and the arbitrator, except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by applicable law.

24.10

Survivability. Any duty to arbitrate under this Agreement shall remain in effect and be enforceable after termination of the contract for any reason.

24.13

Provisions Unique to Arbitrations Pursuant to Section 8.10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 24, if the arbitration is commenced pursuant to Section 8.10 in connection with a dispute regarding whether either Party has met its diligence obligations, then such arbitration shall be conducted by the arbitrator selected pursuant to Section 24.3 together with two experts having at least ten (10) years of experience in drug discovery or development, either in a commercial setting or as a full time faculty member at a university or medical institute (the “Expert”).

30	Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies

A Party’s failure to enforce, at any time or for any period of time, any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of that provision, right or remedy or prevent such Party from enforcing any or all provisions of this Agreement and exercising any rights or remedies.

Any action or omission by a Party’s Affiliate or a Sublicensee which would, if such action or omission were conducted by the Party, constitute a breach of the Party’s obligations under this Agreement will constitute a breach of such obligation by the Party (unless such obligation were otherwise satisfied by such Party or another of its Affiliates or Sublicensees).

DYNAVAX ESTABLISHES COLLABORATION FOR

TLR-9 AGONISTS FOR ASTHMA AND COPD WITH ASTRAZENECA

Berkeley, CA – [Date] – Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:DVAX) has entered into an a three-year research collaboration and a License agreement with AstraZeneca for the discovery and development of TLR-9 agonist-based therapies for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The collaboration will utilize Dynavax’s proprietary second-generation TLR-9 agonist immunostimulatory sequences or ISS.

Under the terms of the agreement, Dynavax and AstraZeneca will collaborate to identify lead TLR-9 agonists and conduct appropriate research phase studies. AstraZeneca will be responsible for any development and worldwide commercialisation of products arising out of the research programme. Dynavax may have an opportunity for partial co-promotion in the United States of products arising from the collaboration.

Financial terms of the collaboration include an upfront fee of $10 million plus research funding and preclinical milestones that could bring the total committed funding of up to $20 million. Dynavax may also receive additional development milestones potentially resulting in a collaboration value of up to approximately $129 million. Upon commercialization, Dynavax is also eligible to receive royalties based on product sales.

“The management of respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD remains a major health challenge affecting 150 million people worldwide and representing a significant financial

burden to the global healthcare system,” said Claude Bertrand, Vice President Respiratory and Inflammation Research at AstraZeneca. “New approaches that have the potential to reverse the course of respiratory disease are needed. AstraZeneca believes that Dynavax’s ISS-based technology represents an innovative, next-generation therapeutic intervention that could potentially expand and strengthen AstraZeneca’s strong position in the respiratory disease field.”

“We believe that AstraZeneca is the ideal partner for the development of asthma and COPD ISS-based therapies, as they have one of the most widely respected and commercially successful respiratory product portfolios in the industry,” said Dino Dina, MD, Dynavax’s chief executive officer. “We appreciate AstraZeneca’s recognition of the innovative, disease-modifying potential of our TLR-9 agonist based approaches and are optimistic that with our combined resources and know-how, we will be able to create novel therapeutics that may provide benefit to patients suffering from these diseases.”

Continued Dr. Dina: “We believe that the positive clinical experience we have previously demonstrated provides a strong foundation for applying ISS-based agonists to treat asthma and COPD. We are hopeful that this collaboration, the goal of which is to explore the potential of ISS alone to treat respiratory diseases, will help to expand our existing portfolio of ISS-based products.”
