First $200 million | 50% | 50% |
[ * ] | [ * ]% | [ * ]% |
Above $400 million | 70% | 30% |
(ii) Quarterly Calculations. Each Party’s share of Operating Profit (Loss) will be determined on a calendar quarterly basis, using a weighted average based on forecasted Actual Sales for the Licensed Product in the Profit Share Territory for the then current calendar year and actual Operating Profit (Loss) for the completed calendar quarter.
(iii) Quarterly Reconciliation. On a calendar quarterly basis after the end of each calendar quarter, each Party’s actual share of Operating Profit (Loss) will be calculated and reconciled as follows: the forecasted Actual Sales for the Licensed Product in the Profit Share Territory for the then current calendar year will be adjusted based on the actual sales booked for the recently-completed calendar quarter and the forecasted Actual Sales for all remaining calendar quarters. Then, each Party’s share of cumulative Operating Profit (Loss) for all of the completed calendar quarter(s) for such calendar year will be determined using a weighted average based on such newly-calculated forecasted Actual Sales and the actual Operating Profit (Loss) for all such completed calendar quarter(s) for such calendar year. The payment to be made by one Party to the other Party for such recently-completed calendar quarter shall reflect such reconciliation, so that each Party will receive its share of then-current cumulative Operating Profit (Loss). This calculation is illustrated by the example in Exhibit A.
(iv) Reconciliation Payments. Within [ * ] days after the end of each calendar quarter for as long as any Licensed Product is being commercialized in the Profit Share Territory, Exelixis shall submit to Genentech a statement setting forth any Operating Profit (Loss) obtained by Exelixis in the Profit-Share Territory during such calendar quarter, together with the information detailing the basis for the calculation of such Operating Profit (Loss), including the individual components of such Operating Profit (Loss).

Genentech shall, within [ * ] days after receiving such statement from Exelixis, notify Exelixis whether a reconciliation payment is due from one Party to the other based on its calculation pursuant to Section 8.4(a)(iii) above, and if so, the amount of such reconciliation payment, so that the Parties will share the Operating Profit (Loss) for such calendar quarter in the ratio set forth in Section 8.4(a)(i) using the mechanism set forth in Section 8.4(a)(iii). The Party required to pay such reconciliation payment shall submit such payment to the other Party within [ * ] days of receiving such notice from Genentech.
(v) Budget Overrun. If, for any calendar quarter: (A) Exelixis’ share of the budgeted cost for the Operating Profit (Loss) [ * ] for such calendar quarter [ * ] is in the aggregate [ * ] (the “Budget Overrun”)

EXELIXIS SIGNS CO-DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH GENENTECH FOR SMALL MOLECULE ONCOLOGY COMPOUND
-New Collaboration Focuses on Novel Compound Targeting MEK-
South San Francisco, CA – January 2, 2006 – Exelixis, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXEL) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Genentech, Inc. for the worldwide co-development of XL518, a small-molecule inhibitor of MEK. Exelixis submitted an Investigational New Drug application (IND) for XL518 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on December 20, 2006. MEK, also known as mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase, is a key component of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, which is frequently activated in human tumors. Inappropriate activation of the MEK/ERK pathway can promote cell growth in the absence of exogenous growth factors.
Under the terms of the agreement, Exelixis will receive upfront and milestone payments totaling $40 million upon signing of the agreement and with the submission of the IND for XL518 to the FDA. Exelixis is responsible for developing XL518 through the end of Phase I. If Genentech exercises its option to further develop XL518, Exelixis will receive an additional payment and Genentech will be responsible for further development, including all further development costs. Exelixis has the option to co-promote in the United States along with Genentech. Exelixis has a substantial share in the marketing and commercialization costs, as well as an initial equal share in profits in the United States, which will decrease as sales increase. Exelixis will receive royalties on any sales of the product which may be commercialized outside the United States.
“Genentech is a leading innovator of important new cancer therapies, and we believe that this collaboration validates the significant potential of XL518 to be the first in a new class of drugs targeting critical intracellular signaling pathways,” said George A. Scangos, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Exelixis. “This collaboration also combines our world class drug discovery and development platform with Genentech’s proven track record in commercializing novel compounds that positively impact the lives of patients with cancer. This is our second strategic collaboration with Genentech, and we look forward to strengthening our relationship with Genentech on the development of this promising compound.”
