The Commercializing Party shall keep for [ * ] years from the date of each payment of royalties complete and accurate records of sales of each product for which a royalty is payable, in sufficient detail to allow the royalties accruing to be determined accurately. The Commercializing Party shall maintain all records as reasonably required for GAAP. All royalty payments shall be nonrefundable and noncreditable (except to the extent provided in Section 7.14).

 

7.11 Profit and Loss Sharing for Profit Share Products.

 

(a) Generally. For all Licensed Products that are Profit Share Products, in lieu of milestone and royalty payments under the terms of Sections 7.3 - 7.8 above, Genentech and Exelixis will share Operating Profits (Losses) in accordance with the Cost Sharing Ratio, and as further detailed in the Financial Appendix. Reporting obligations for Profit Share Products also are set forth in the Financial Appendix; however, Section 7.13 and Section 7.14 of this Agreement apply equally to Profit Share Products and Royalty Products (and, if applicable, Genentech Screening Products).

 

(b) Financial Appendix. Terms describing calculations and reporting of Operating Profits (Losses) are set forth in the Financial Appendix. The Financial Appendix is applicable to revenues and expenses by a Party in the United States. For revenues and expenses by a Sublicensee, the definitions may need to be modified to comply with changes to GAAP or to comply with ex-U.S. financial accounting standards. Any such modification, however, will be consistent with the agreed Cost Sharing Ratio and with the material concepts in the existing Financial Appendix.

 

(c) Payment on Initial Designation. Where initial designation of a Profit Share Product requires reimbursement of Development Costs, Genentech will provide a written request with appropriate supporting documents, and Exelixis shall pay amounts owed within [ * ] days after receipt of that request.

7.12 Invoices for Research Funding. For the Research Funding to be paid by Genentech, Exelixis shall provide an invoice to Genentech, no more than [ * ] days in advance of the date such amount is due. Genentech shall pay the amount of the invoice within [ * ] days after receipt. For clarity, invoices are not required for royalties or for milestone payments.

 

7.13 Additional Financial Terms Applicable to a Commercializing Party.

 

(a) Currency. All references to “dollars” or “$” means the legal currency of the United States. All amounts due by one Party to the other under this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. dollars by wire transfer in immediately available funds, or by check if requested by the payee, and shall be made where directed by that payee. With respect to amounts invoiced in a currency other than dollars, all such amounts shall be expressed both in the currency in which the amount was invoiced and in the dollar equivalent. The dollar equivalent shall be calculated using, where Genentech is the payor, [ * ] using the exchange rate in effect on the last day of business for a given calendar quarter in which the Net Sales are made or the Operating Profits (Losses) incurred, as published by Reuters. The dollar equivalent shall be calculated using, where Exelixis is the payor, [ * ] using the exchange rate in effect on the last day of business for a given calendar quarter in which the Net Sales are made, as published by Reuters.

 

(b) Withholding of Taxes. The Commercializing Party (or Genentech in the case of Research Funding) may withhold from payments due to the other Party amounts for payment of any withholding tax that is required by law to be paid to any taxing authority with respect to such payments. The Party that has withheld that tax shall provide to the other Party all relevant documents and correspondence, and shall also provide to the Party from whose payment that tax was withheld any other cooperation or assistance on a reasonable basis as may be necessary to enable that Party subject to withholding to claim exemption from such withholding taxes and to receive a full refund of such withholding tax or claim a foreign tax credit. The Party that has withheld the tax shall give proper evidence from time to time as to the payment of such tax. The Parties agree to cooperate with each other, in the event a Party seeks deductions under any double taxation or other similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force.

 

(c) Late Payments. Any amounts [ * ] shall be subject to interest from the foregoing date through and including the date upon which payment is received, calculated at the Interest Rate.

 

(d) Blocked Currency. If, at any time, legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all royalties with respect to any country where the relevant product is sold, payment shall be made through such lawful means or methods as the Party paying may determine. When in any country, the law or regulations prohibit both the transmittal and deposit of royalties or other payments for Net Sales, or for a share of Operating Profits (Losses) in such country; amounts shall continue to be reported but payment will be suspended for as long as such prohibition is in effect. As soon as such prohibition ceases to be in effect, all amounts that would have been obligated to be transmitted or deposited, but for the prohibition, shall forthwith be deposited or transmitted promptly.

 

7.14 Records and Audit. The Commercializing Party shall keep full, true and accurate books of account containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of

showing Net Sales and demonstrating the calculation of royalties or, for Profit Share Products, for the purpose of showing Operating Profits (Losses) and demonstrating the calculation of amounts under the Cost Sharing Ratio. Such books of account and the supporting data and other records shall be kept at the principal place of business of the Commercializing Party. The non-Commercializing Party shall have the right, for a period of [ * ] years after receiving any report or statement with respect to amounts due and payable, to appoint an internationally-recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Commercializing Party to inspect the relevant records of the Commercializing Party (as to its own accounts or to those of the Commercializing Party’s Affiliates) to verify such reports, statements, records or books of accounts, as applicable. Such accounting firm (and any individuals, if applicable) must execute a confidential disclosure agreement with the Commercializing Party (i.e., the Party being audited), or be subject to terms governing non-use and non-disclosure that the Commercializing Party has agreed in writing are acceptable. The Commercializing Party or its Affiliates shall make its records available for inspection by the auditor during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon receipt at least [ * ] days written advance notice from the non-Commercializing Party, solely to verify the accuracy of the Commercializing Party’s reports provided under this Agreement. Such inspection right shall not be exercised more than [ * ] nor more frequently than [ * ]. The independent accountant will be instructed to provide an audit report containing the conclusions of such independent accountant regarding the audit, and specifying whether the amounts paid were correct, and, if incorrect, the amount of any underpayment or overpayment. The independent accountant further will be instructed to provide that audit report first to the Commercializing Party (i.e., the Party being audited), and will be further instructed to [ * ]. Such audit report shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of the Party subject to the audit. If such report shows any underpayment, then, within [ * ] days after the audited Party’s receipt of such report, the audited Party shall remit to the other Party the amount of the undisputed underpayment plus any applicable interest pursuant to Section 7.13(c). If the audit report shows an overpayment, then the audited Party may [ * ]. Audit reports are [ * ]. If the total amount of any underpayment [ * ] exceeds [ * ] of the amount previously paid by the audited Party to the other Party for the period subject to audit, then the audited Party shall pay the reasonable costs for the audit.

8.2 Ownership. Inventorship of any Collaboration Invention (and the associated Collaboration IP) will be determined in accordance with rules of inventorship under U.S. patent laws, and any other federal laws consistent with U.S. patent laws. Except as otherwise described herein, and subject to the licenses granted under this Agreement, each Party shall own the entire right, title and interest in and to any and all Collaboration Inventions (and the associated Collaboration IP) for which the inventors are solely its employees or agents. Subject to the licenses granted under this Agreement, Genentech and Exelixis shall each own an undivided one-half (1/2) interest, without duty of accounting, in and to any and all Collaboration Inventions and associated Collaboration IP for which employees or agents of both Parties are inventors.

With respect to only those Yale Patents that [ * ] (“Relevant Yale Patents”), if Exelixis elects not to file, prosecute, maintain or extend any Relevant Yale Patent in any country, not to pay any fee related thereto, or not to incorporate Genentech’s reasonable comments, for such a Relevant Yale Patent, then Exelixis shall promptly notify Genentech in writing of such election (but in no case later than [ * ] days prior to any required action relating to the filing, prosecution, maintenance or extension of such Relevant Yale Patent). In that event, Genentech may elect in writing, subject to the terms of the Yale Agreement, to take over from Exelixis and thereafter control (as between Exelixis and Genentech), the filing, prosecution, maintenance or extension of any such Relevant Yale Patents, at [ * ]. If Genentech makes the foregoing election, then [ * ] Exelixis shall have no right to file, prosecute, maintain or extend those Relevant Yale Patents, and Exelixis shall not exercise any rights it may have with respect to the foregoing under the Yale Agreement, unless so directed by Genentech.

8.5 Enforcement.

 

(a) Enforcement by Genentech of Genentech Licensed IP and Genentech’s Sole Collaboration Patents. As between Genentech and Exelixis, Genentech has the sole right to take actions to terminate infringement without litigation, to institute an action or proceeding for enforcement, and to settle or continue prosecution of that action or proceeding with respect to Genentech Licensed IP or Genentech’s Sole Collaboration Patents.

8.7 Marking. Each Commercializing Party shall use reasonable efforts to ascertain whether, in any country, the failure to apply patent marking notices, whether for Exelixis Screening Products, Exelixis Reagent Products, Genentech Screening Products or Licensed Products, as applicable, would itself be a violation of law for that country. If such failure would be a violation of the applicable law, then the Commercializing Party shall, to the extent feasible and practical, apply patent marking notices as necessary to avoid such violation in the country where such product are made, sold or used.

 

8.8 Non-Assert. Exelixis shall not assert against Genentech, and shall not [ * ], any infringement claims or actions for [ * ], where such infringement claim or action is based on the Subject Claim, except to the extent Exelixis is obligated to do so by a Third Party obligation existing as of the Effective Date.

9.4 Terms of this 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 potential collaborators and licensees (including potential co-marketing and co-promotion contractors), research collaborators, employees, and consultants whose tasks are related to performance of this Agreement, 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 9; provided that the Party disclosing such information must obtain prior written consent of the Party whose information is being disclosed, which consent may be conditioned upon redacting certain terms prior to disclosure. Without obtaining prior written consent of the other Party, a Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement to its potential investment bankers and to lenders in connection with obtaining financing for its business, where each such potential investment banker or lender prior to disclosure must be bound by obligations of confidentiality that prohibit any further disclosure (except to lawyers acting on behalf of such investment bankers or lenders), and by obligations of non-use that permit use only for purposes of providing financing to the disclosing Party. In addition, filing a copy of this Agreement by either Party with the SEC is subject to the provisions of Section 9.6.

 

9.5 Termination of Prior Confidentiality Agreements. This Agreement supersedes the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement between Exelixis and Genentech effective December 6, 2004.

9.6 Publicity. If a Party wishes to release any publication (except to the extent subject to Section 9.7), press release other public statement, or announcement about the Parties’ relationship under this Agreement, performance of this Agreement, or research conducted under this Agreement (“Release”), that Party shall first obtain the other Party’s written approval of the proposed Release. A Party need not obtain the other Party’s approval for a Release to the extent it discusses a Product for which it is the Commercializing Party and that Release does not include mention of the non-Commercializing Party or the relationships of the Parties under this Agreement. Where prior approval is required, approval will not be unreasonably withheld to the extent the Release includes information previously disclosed; such approval is not required, however, for a disclosure of previously approved text in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in an offering circular for an unregistered securities offering, but only where the underlying facts disclosed in that previously approved text are still true, and where the circumstances surrounding the disclosure have not changed. If one Party reasonably concludes that a Release must be made, or that all or any portion of this Agreement must be disclosed, pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the national securities exchange or other stock market on which such Party’s securities are traded (“Exchange”), and the other Party would prefer that such Release not be made, that the information within the Release be modified or limited, or that disclosure of the Agreement be limited, then the Party seeking disclosure shall modify or limit such disclosure to address the concerns of the other Party (which limitation may include seeking confidential treatment of such

Where a Party’s approval is required for a proposed Release, each Party agrees that the other Party will have no less than [ * ] days to review and provide comment regarding any proposed Release, except (i) to the extent a shorter review time is agreed to by both Parties or (ii) to the extent an applicable law requires disclosure of an event in a period shorter than [ * ] days after the event. With respect to complying with the disclosure requirements of the SEC or other Exchange in connection with any required filing of this Agreement, the filing Party shall seek confidential treatment of portions of this Agreement from the SEC or other Exchange and shall provide the other Party with the opportunity, at least [ * ] days to review any such proposed filing. Each Party agrees that it will obtain its own legal advice with regard to its compliance with securities laws and regulations, and will not rely on any statements made by the other Party relating to such securities laws and regulations.

 

9.7 Publications. Neither Party shall publish or present the results of research carried out under this Agreement without the opportunity for prior review by the other Party pursuant to this Section 9.7. Each Party agrees to provide the other Party the opportunity to review any such proposed publication or presentation (including abstracts, manuscripts or verbal presentations) at least [ * ] days prior to its intended submission for publication or presentation and agrees, upon request, not to submit any such publication or presentation until the other Party is given a reasonable period of time to secure patent protection for any material in such publication or presentation which it believes to be patentable. Both Parties understand that a reasonable commercial strategy may require delay of publication or presentation of information or of filing of patent applications. The Parties agree to review and consider delay of publication or presentation and filing of patent applications under certain circumstances. Neither Party shall have the right to publish or present Confidential Information of the other Party that is subject to Section 9.1, unless it receives the prior written consent of the other Party.

 

10. TERM AND TERMINATION

 

10.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect (a) until terminated in accordance with Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, (b) until terminated by mutual written agreement, or (c) until the expiration of the last payment obligation with respect to all Licensed Products, Genentech Screening Products, Exelixis Screening Products, and Exelixis Reagent Products hereunder. Expiration or early termination of the Research Term shall not constitute termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

10.2 Termination by Genentech for Convenience; Termination by Either Party for Material Breach.

 

(a) By Genentech for Convenience. After [ * ], Genentech may terminate this Agreement on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product, Collaboration Target-by-Collaboration Target, and country-by-country basis upon [ * ] days prior written notice to Exelixis.

Exhibit E

 

Financial Appendix

 

Principles of Reporting.

 

Determination of Operating Profits (Losses), for a Profit Sharing Product will be based on each Party’s respective financial information. If the Parties have determined the terms for ex-U.S. Operating Profits (Losses), the Commercializing Party may choose to provide a consolidated worldwide pro forma financial statement for itself and its Sublicensees rather than separate financial statements for itself and its Sublicensees) in the following reporting format. The interpretation of the defined terms in such report shall be in accordance with GAAP and this Agreement.

 

Gross Sales

less Sales Returns and Allowances

= Net Sales

less Cost of Sales

= Gross Profits

less Marketing Costs

less Sales Costs

less Development Costs

less Other Operating Income/Expense

less Distribution Costs

less General and Administrative Costs

= Operating Profits or Losses

 

If necessary, a Party will make the appropriate adjustments to the financial information it supplies under the Agreement to conform to the above format of reporting results of operations. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to the time that Gross Sales are obtained and if there are no incurred and mutually agreed costs related to sales or sales support, the Parties may eliminate the above line items related to sales and the support of sales, and the costs thereof, and use only those terms relevant to the sharing of Development Costs.

 

Frequency of Reporting.

 

The fiscal year for the Agreement will be a calendar year.
