	 	2.2    Number	of Licensed Antigens; Term of Rights. 

 (a)    Limit on Number of Antigens. Except as provided in Section 2.2(c), GNE’s right to obtain licenses pursuant to Section 2.1 may be exercised for Antibodies
directed against a maximum total of six (6) Antigens. As of the Effective Date, GNE has already exercised licenses with respect to the following Antigens: [...]. 
 (b)    Expiration of Rights to Elect. Except as provided in Section 2.2(c), GNE’s right to obtain licenses pursuant to Section 2.1 shall expire on [...];
provided that GNE may elect to extend the expiration period for each license right under Section 2.1 not exercised by [...] for an additional [...] year period by written notice and payment of the GNE Antigen Extension Fee to PDL prior to
[...] as provided in Section 3.4(a). On December 22, 2008, GNE notified PDL of its election to extend the expiration period under this Section 2.2(b) until [...] for such license right for [...] Antigens and paid PDL the
applicable GNE Antigen Extension Fee. 
 (c)    Double Up Right. Upon written notice to PDL and
payment of the GNE Double Up Fee at any time prior to [...], GNE may elect a minimum of three (3) and up to a maximum of [...] additional Antigens, at GNE’s discretion, under Section 2.1 for a period of [...] years following
the date of such notice; provided that rights to elect licenses with respect to the first [...] Antigens shall expire as of [...] unless otherwise extended pursuant Section 2.2(b). On December 22, 2008, GNE notified PDL of its
election under this Section 2.2(c) of an additional [...] Antigens and paid PDL the applicable GNE Double Up Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.2(c), GNE’s right to elect licenses to an additional
[...] Antigens under this Section 2.2(c) shall expire [...]. 
  

	 	2.3    Procedure	for Exercise of License Rights. 

 GNE shall provide PDL with written notice identifying the Antigen for which GNE desires to enter into a PDL License Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1. Such written notice shall
occur no later than ten (10) days following first regulatory approval of a product incorporating an Antibody directed against the relevant Antigen. Within fifteen (15) business days of the written notice, GNE shall pay the applicable
License Exercise Fee specified in Section 3.2(a). PDL shall promptly review and respond in writing to the request by GNE for a license within ten (10) business days of receipt of the written request. PDL may deny GNE’s request for a
license grant only if PDL has previously granted an exclusive or co-exclusive license or an unexpired option for an exclusive or co-exclusive license with respect to Antibodies to the identical Antigen or is then actively engaged in bona fide
negotiations for such an exclusive or co-exclusive license or option for an exclusive or co-exclusive license; provided, however, that with respect to each of the GNE Named Antigens and [...], PDL shall provide GNE written notice prior to
entering into an exclusive or co-exclusive license or option with any third party with respect to that GNE Named Antigen or [...] and shall permit GNE the opportunity to exercise its rights under Section 2.1 for a period not to exceed
fifteen (15) days for a license for such GNE Named Antigen or [...] prior to the conclusion of an agreement with such third party for such a license or option. In the event that PDL denies GNE’s request, as set forth herein, for a PDL
License Agreement, GNE’s right under Section 2.1 shall not be considered exercised. If PDL affirms GNE’s request or has not responded within ten (10) business days of 

  
 - 4 -









 
receipt of GNE’s request under this Section 2.3(b), then GNE and PDL shall enter into a PDL License Agreement with respect to the Antigen. For the avoidance of doubt, if GNE has not
given PDL notice of its desire to enter into a PDL License Agreement with respect to an Antigen within ten (10) days after first regulatory approval of a product incorporating an Antibody directed against such Antigen, GNE shall no longer have
the right to exercise a PDL License Agreement with respect to such Antibody under this Agreement, but GNE shall retain the right to exercise a PDL License Agreement with respect to a different Antibody directed at such Antigen. If, after GNE has
exercised its license rights with respect to a particular Antigen and has entered into a PDL License Agreement pursuant to Section 2.1, GNE later has another product incorporating an Antibody that is directed against the same Antigen, then GNE
must provide an additional written notice that such product is a GNE Licensed Product no later than ten (10) days following regulatory approval of such other product. 

 

	3.    GNE’S	PAYMENTS 


3.1    Initial Fees. PDL acknowledges that within ten (10) days of the Original Effective Date, GNE paid
to PDL an initial nonrefundable, noncreditable fee of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) for the right to obtain nonexclusive licenses pursuant to Section 2.1. In recognition of the value of the license rights hereunder attributable to Licensed
Products that have received regulatory approval, the parties agreed that Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of the Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) paid under this Section 3.1 would be considered payment attributable to the first license
hereunder. 
  

	 	3.2    License	Exercise Fees. 


(a)    License Exercise Fee. Within fifteen (15) business days after the delivery of a written notice to
PDL for a nonexclusive license for Antibodies for one (1) Antigen under Section 2.1. GNE shall pay to PDL an exercise fee (“GNE License Exercise Fee”) of either: 

(i)    One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) [...] 
 provided further that such amounts shall be increased annually beginning January 1, 1999 and on each January 1 thereafter by an amount equal to the Consumer Price Index-U (or its successor)
published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (“CPI-U”) for the prior year. All adjustments hereunder shall be payable within fifteen (15) days of the publication of the CPI-U for the applicable year. GNE shall be entitled to
deduct from the applicable GNE License Exercise Fee paid to PDL any amounts not previously credited and subject to credit under Section 3.2(b). All such deductions shall be documented with any payments made hereunder. 

(b)    Credits. [...] 
 3.3    Annual Maintenance Fees. Each PDL License Agreement shall provide for the payment to PDL of an annual maintenance fee beginning on the [...] anniversary of each PDL
License Agreement of either: 
 (a)    [...] 

(b)    [...] 

  
 - 5 -









  
 The PDL License Agreement shall
further provide that annual maintenance fees shall be [...] against royalties payable in the year with respect to which such annual maintenance fee is paid. 
  

	 	3.4    GNE	Antigen Extension Fee; GNE Double Up Fee 

 (a)    GNE Antigen Extension Fee. Concurrent with the delivery of the written notice of election to extend the expiration period of an exercise right under Section 2.2(b),
GNE shall pay to PDL for each Antigen with respect to which GNE desires to extend such exercise period, a nonrefundable, noncreditable extension fee of [...]. 
 (b)    GNE Double Up Fee. Concurrent with the delivery of the written notice of election of the “double up” right under Section 2.2(c), GNE shall pay to PDL for
each additional Antigen under Section 2.2(c), a nonrefundable, noncreditable fee of [...] (the “GNE Double Up Fee”). 
  

	4.	GNE’S ROYALTIES 

  

	 	4.1    Royalty	Rates. 


(a)    GNE ROW Net Sales. GNE will pay royalties to PDL under each executed PDL License Agreement (including
the Herceptin License Agreement), notwithstanding any provision of such PDL License Agreement to the contrary, at the rate of three percent (3%) of GNE ROW Net Sales by GNE, its Affiliates and sublicensees and Roche of each GNE Licensed
Product. Royalties for any GNE ROW Net Sales of any GNE Licensed Product sold prior to the effective date of such PDL License Agreement shall be paid in the first royalty payment under such PDL License Agreement. 

(b)    GNE US Net Sales. GNE will pay royalties to PDL under each executed PDL License Agreement (including
the Herceptin License Agreement), notwithstanding any provision of such PDL License Agreement to the contrary, on total annual GNE US Net Sales by GNE, its Affiliates and sublicensees and Roche for all GNE Licensed Product(s) at the following rates:

  

					
	 Total Annual GNE US Net Sales For All GNE Licensed Products
	  	Royalty Rate	 
	 First $1.5 billion
	  	 	3.0	% 
	 Next $1.0 billion (from $1.5 billion through $2.5 billion)
	  	 	2.5	% 
	 Next $1.5 billion (from $2.5 billion through $4.0 billion)
	  	 	2.0	% 
	 Total amounts over $4.0 billion
	  	 	1.0	% 

 Such total annual GNE US Net Sales shall
be calculated on a calendar year basis. Royalties for any GNE US Net Sales of any GNE Licensed Product sold prior to the effective date of such PDL License Agreement shall be paid in the first royalty payment under such PDL License Agreement, and
shall be included in the total annual GNE US Net Sales for the calendar year in which such GNE US Net Sales occur. 

  
 - 6 -









  

(c)    In the case of a GNE Licensed Product that is a bispecific antibody, to the extent a license is required under
the PDL Licensed Patents, each arm of such bispecific antibody shall require a separate license, provided that even if two licenses are required, the bispecific antibody shall be considered one GNE Licensed Product and bear the royalty applicable to
one GNE Licensed Product. For example, if two licenses are required for a GNE Licensed Product that is a bispecific antibody that generates GNE ROW Net Sales, the royalty due on such sales of such GNE Licensed Product, even if two licenses are
required, shall be three percent (3%) of GNE ROW Net Sales by GNE, its Affiliates and sublicensees and Roche. 

4.2    Royalties to Third Parties. GNE acknowledges and agrees that other licenses may be required from third
parties with respect to the development, manufacture, use and sale of any products licensed under the PDL License Agreements, and that GNE shall be responsible for any royalties and other payments with respect to those license rights. In no event
shall GNE have a right to credit against, reduce or otherwise offset any royalty or payment obligations to such third parties against royalty amounts payable to PDL under the PDL License Agreements.

Section 8.6. A designated representative of PDL and GNE will meet as reasonably requested by either party to review any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any
provision of this Agreement or a GNE License Agreement. If the disagreement is not resolved by the designated representatives by mutual agreement within thirty (30) days after a meeting to discuss the disagreement, either party may at any time
thereafter provide the other written notice specifying the terms of such disagreement in reasonable detail. Upon receipt of such notice, the chief executive officers of PDL and GNE shall meet at a mutually agreed upon time and location for the
purpose of resolving such disagreement. They will discuss the problems and/or negotiate for a period of up to sixty (60) days in an effort to resolve the disagreement or negotiate an acceptable interpretation or revision of the applicable
portion of this Agreement mutually agreeable to both parties, without the necessity of formal procedures relating thereto. During the course of such negotiations, the parties will reasonably cooperate and provide information that is not materially
confidential in order that each of the parties may be fully informed with respect to the issues in dispute. The institution of a formal legal proceeding under Section 8.6(a) or (b) to resolve the disagreement may occur by written notice to
the other party only after the earlier of: (a) the chief executive officers mutually agreeing that resolution of the disagreement through continued negotiation is not likely to occur, or (b) following expiration of the sixty (60) day

arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) except as otherwise provided herein. 
 If the
dispute, controversy or claim concerns the validity of any PDL Licensed Patent, all matters subject to dispute, controversy or claim hereunder shall be removed to Federal District Court as provided in Section 8.6(c). 

Any arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be held in English and a transcribed record prepared in English. The parties shall choose, by
mutual agreement, one (1) neutral arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of the intent to arbitrate. If no arbitrator is appointed within the times herein provided or any extension of time which is mutually agreed upon,
the AAA shall make such appointment of a person who shall devote substantial time to arbitrating within thirty (30) days of such failure. Discovery permitted by the arbitrator shall be pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Sections
1283.05 and 1283.1, provided that all discovery shall be completed within sixty (60) days of the appointment of such arbitrator and the decision rendered by such arbitrator shall thereafter be delivered in writing setting forth the basis
therefor within thirty (30) days after the completion of discovery. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and judgment on
such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed as preventing either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the
parties and the subject matter of the dispute but only to the extent necessary to protect either party’s name, proprietary information, trade secrets, know-how or any other similar proprietary

rights. If the issues in dispute involve scientific or technical matters related to monoclonal antibody technology, any arbitrator chosen hereunder shall have not less than five (5) years of
educational training and/or experience sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of relevant scientific and/or technical knowledge related to monoclonal antibody technology. If the issues in dispute involve patent matters (other than validity of
a PDL Licensed Patent), then such arbitrator shall also be a licensed patent attorney or otherwise knowledgeable about patent law matters and to the extent possible, with monoclonal antibody technology. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in
writing and shall set forth the basis therefor. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award such remedies as he or she believes appropriate in the circumstances, including, but not limited to, compensatory damages subject to the Three Percent
(3%) royalty maximum set forth herein, consequential and incidental damages, interest, tort damages (but not punitive or similar damages) and specific performance and other equitable relief. 

(c)    Patent Validity. Subject to Section 8.6(a), any dispute, controversy or claim (i) which
involves the validity of a PDL Licensed Patent issued in the United States shall be subject to actions before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or adjudicated in Federal District Court, Northern District of the State of California,
and (ii) which involves the validity of a PDL Licensed Patent issued in any other country shall be brought before an appropriate regulatory or administrative body or court in that country. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from
the other party, the reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by such prevailing party in connection with any action or proceeding under this Section 8.6(c). 

(d)    Patent infringement of future products. GNE agrees not to object to PDL’s reliance on the stipulation in
Section 2.2 of the Settlement Agreement between PDL and GNE dated December 18, 2003 (the “Settlement Agreement”) for purposes of analyzing whether future products constitute GNE Licensed Products; provided, however, GNE shall
have the right to rebutt any such reliance with information relating to: (i) any and all differences between future products and the Four Products (as defined in the Settlement Agreement); and (ii) any factual or legal determinations
relating to the PDL Licensed Patents after the effective date of the Settlement Agreement (including, but not limited to, orders and judgments resulting from Markman proceedings). 

8.7    Waiver. The failure of either party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any
term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by the other party. None of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement can be
waived except by the written consent of the party waiving compliance. 
 8.8    Headings. The
