If a Bundled Product is sold by Licensee, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees (other than Third Party Distributors), then the Net Sales of such Licensed Product, for the purposes of determining royalty and sales-based milestone payments, shall be determined on a country by country basis by multiplying the Net Sales of the Bundled Product in such country by the fraction, A/(A+B) where A is the sales-volume-weighted average sale price in that country of such Licensed Product in the previous Calendar Year when sold separately and B is the sales-volume-weighted average sale price in that country in the previous Calendar Year of the other product sold separately.  In the event that such average sale price cannot be determined for either such Licensed Product or the other product in the Bundled Product, then, for purposes of determining the royalty payments due in respect of such Licensed Product, the adjustment to Net Sales shall be determined by the Parties in good faith to reasonably reflect the fair market value of the contribution of such Licensed Product in the Bundled Product to the total fair market value of such Bundled Product.

In the event a Licensed Product is a Combination Product, the Net Sales for such Combination Product shall be calculated as follows:  

If Licensee, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees (other than Third Party Distributors) separately sells in such country, (a) a Mono Product and (b) products containing as their sole active ingredient the Other Component in such Combination Product, then the Net Sales attributable to such Combination Product shall be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B) where: A is Licensee’s (or its Affiliate’s or its Sublicensee’s) average Net Sales price during the period to which the Net Sales calculation applies for the Mono Product in such country and B is Licensee’s (or its Affiliate’s or its Sublicensee’s, as applicable) average Net Sales price during the period to which the Net Sales calculation applies in such country, for products that contain as their sole active ingredient the Other Component in such Combination Product.

If Licensee, its Affiliate or its Sublicensee (other than Third Party Distributors) separately sells in such country the Mono Product but does not separately sell in such country products containing as their sole active ingredient the Other Component in such Combination Product, then the Net Sales attributable to such Combination Product shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/C where: A is Licensee’s (or its Affiliate’s or its Sublicensee’s) average Net Sales price during the period to which the Net Sales calculation applies for the Mono Product in such country and C is Licensee’s (or its Affiliate’s or its Sublicensee’s) average Net Sales price in such country during the period to which the Net Sales calculation applies for such Combination Product.

If Licensee, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees (other than Third Party Distributors) do not separately sell in such country the Mono Product but do separately sell products containing as their sole active ingredient the Other Component in such Combination Product, then the Net Sales attributable to such Combination Product shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction (D-E)/D where: D is the average Net Sales price during the period to which the Net Sales calculation applies for such Combination Product in such country and E is the average Net Sales price during the period to which the Net Sales calculation applies for products that contain as their sole active ingredient the Other Component in such Combination Product.

If Licensee, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees (other than Third Party Distributors) do not separately sell in such country either the Mono Product or any product containing as its sole active ingredient the Other Component in such Combination Product, then the Net Sales attributable to such Combination Product shall be determined by the Parties in good faith based on the relative fair market value of such Mono Product and such Other Components.

[***] Portions of this exhibit have been redacted pursuant to a confidential treatment request. An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission. 




	
(i)
	
in the event that the aggregate of all Net Sales of a Licensed Product in a given Calendar Year during the Royalty Term exceeds [***] ($[***]), then Licensee shall pay to Janssen [***] ($[***]);  





	
(ii)
	
in the event that the aggregate of all Net Sales of a Licensed Product in a given Calendar Year during the Royalty Term exceeds [***] ($[***]), then Licensee shall pay to Janssen [***] ($[***]); and





	
(iii)
	
in the event that the aggregate of all Net Sales of a Licensed Product in a given Calendar Year during the Royalty Term exceeds [***] ($[***]), then Licensee shall pay to Janssen [***] ($[***]).




6.2.5Milestone Payment Terms.  In the event that in a given Calendar Year more than one of the foregoing thresholds set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 6.2.4 (Sales Milestones) is exceeded with respect to a Licensed Product, then Licensee shall pay to Janssen a separate milestone payment with respect to each such threshold that is exceeded in such Calendar Year with respect to such Licensed Product.  Each milestone payment in this Section 6.2.4 (Sales Milestones) shall be payable only once for a given Licensed Product upon the first achievement of such milestone in a given Calendar Year and no amounts shall be due for subsequent or repeated achievements of such milestone with respect to such Licensed Product in subsequent Calendar Years.    

6.2.6Determination that Milestones Have Occurred and Timing of Payments.  Licensee shall notify Janssen in writing within [***] days following the achievement of each milestone in Section 6.2.1 (First Licensed Product), Section 6.2.2 (Non-Lead Products) and Section 6.2.3 (Lead Products), and shall make the applicable milestone payment within [***] days after the achievement of such milestone.  In the case of each milestone in Section 6.2.4 (Sales Milestones), Licensee shall notify Janssen in writing within, and each such milestone payment shall be due within, [***] days of the end of the Calendar Quarter in which such milestone was achieved.  In the event that, notwithstanding the fact that Licensee has not provided Janssen a required milestone notice, Janssen believes that any such milestone has been achieved, it shall so notify Licensee in writing and the Parties shall promptly meet and discuss in good faith whether such milestone has been achieved.  Any dispute under this Section 6.2.6 (Determination that Milestones Have Occurred and Timing of Payments) regarding whether or not such a milestone has been achieved shall be subject to resolution in accordance with Section 12.5 (Dispute Resolution).


	
6.3
	
Royalties.  




6.3.1Royalty Rates.  As further consideration for the rights granted to Licensee hereunder, commencing upon the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Territory, Licensee shall pay to Janssen a royalty on Net Sales (to the extent made during the Royalty Term applicable in each country in the Territory) by Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis during each Calendar Year at the following rates:


	
(i)
	
for that portion of aggregate Net Sales of a Licensed Product in the Territory during a Calendar Year equal to or less than [***] ($[***]), a royalty rate of [***]%;





	
(ii)
	
for that portion of aggregate Net Sales of a Licensed Product in the Territory during a Calendar Year greater than [***]  ($[***]) but less than or equal to [***] ($[***]), a royalty rate of [***]%; and





	
(iii)
	
for that portion of aggregate Net Sales of a Licensed Product in the Territory during a Calendar Year greater than [***] ($[***]), a royalty rate of [***]%; 




27

[***] Portions of this exhibit have been redacted pursuant to a confidential treatment request. An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission. 



provided that, for any Non-Lead Product containing a second or any subsequent Designated Compound (or Compound Form thereof) for which Milestone (1) ([***]), and Milestone (2) ([***]) in Section 6.2.2(i) (Milestones) was not paid pursuant to Section 6.2.2(iv) ([***]), the royalty rates set forth above shall be increased by [***]% at each tier.  

An example of the calculation of the amount of royalty to be paid hereunder is shown on Schedule 6.3.1 (Example Royalty Calculation); provided, however, that the calculation of the actual amount of royalties to be paid hereunder shall be made using the actual Net Sales figures.

6.3.2Royalty Term.  Licensee shall have no obligation to pay any royalty with respect to Net Sales of any Licensed Product in any country after the Royalty Term for such Licensed Product in such country has ended.  Following the end of the Royalty Term for a Licensed Product in a country, the license grants in Section 2.1 (Grants to Licensee) shall become fully-paid, royalty-free and irrevocable for such Licensed Product in such country.  

6.3.3Reductions.  


	
(i)
	
Expiration of Valid Claims.  Subject to Section 6.3.4 (Maximum Amount of Royalty Reduction), from and after the date on which a Licensed Product is sold in a country and is not claimed by an issued and unexpired Valid Claim of a Janssen Patent or Licensee Foreground Patent that claims (a) [***] of such Licensed Product or any Licensed Compound contained in such Licensed Product or (b) [***] of such Licensed Product in such country, the applicable royalty rate set forth in Section 6.3.1 (Royalty Rates) with respect to Net Sales in such country shall be reduced by [***]%. 





	
(ii)
	
Generic Product Entry.  In any country in the Territory during the Royalty Term for a Licensed Product, a Generic Product is launched in such country by a Third Party in a given Calendar Quarter, then the royalties to be paid by Licensee on Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country thereafter shall be reduced to [***]% of the royalties otherwise due to Janssen with respect to such Licensed Product in such country.





	
(iii)
	
Third Party License Adjustments.  If Licensee reasonably determines that it is necessary for Licensee to license or acquire one or more Patents from one or more Third Parties in order to Exploit any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product in any country in the Territory, then Licensee will have the sole right to, and may, in its sole discretion, negotiate and obtain a license or acquire rights under such Patents (each such Third Party license, a “Third Party License”). Licensee may, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, offset and deduct from the royalties otherwise payable to Janssen pursuant to Section 6.3 (Royalties), an amount equal to [***]% of any amounts paid by Licensee to such Third Party pursuant to the applicable Third Party License with respect to the Exploitation of Licensed Products; provided that no reduction taken pursuant to this Section 6.3.3(iii) (Third Party License Adjustments) may reduce the royalty rate payable by Licensee to a royalty rate of less than [***]%. 




6.3.4Maximum Amount of Royalty Reduction.  Any reductions set forth in Section 6.3.3 (Reductions) shall be applied to the royalty rate payable to Janssen under Section 6.3.1 (Royalty Rates) in the order in which the event triggering such reduction occurs.  In no event shall the adjustments under Section 6.3.3(i) (Expiration of Valid Claims), Section 6.3.3(ii) (Generic Product Entry), and Section 6.3.3(iii) (Third Party License Adjustments) taken together reduce the royalties due to Janssen in any Calendar Quarter with respect to a Licensed Product by more than [***]% of the royalty amount that would have been due in such Calendar Quarter but for the application of the reductions in Section 6.3.3 (Reductions) (the “Reduction Floor”);  provided that to the extent that any such amount cannot be offset or deducted against any royalty payment due with respect to such Licensed Product for any given period 

28

due to the Reduction Floor or the proviso in Section 6.3.3(iii) (Third Party License Adjustments), then the [***] (subject always to the Reduction Floor for any such payment).


	
6.4
	
Royalty Payments and Reports.  Licensee shall calculate all amounts payable to Janssen pursuant to Section 6.3 (Royalties) at the end of each Calendar Quarter, which amounts shall be converted to Dollars, in accordance with Section 6.5 (Mode of Payment).  Licensee shall pay to Janssen the royalty amounts due with respect to a given Calendar Quarter within [***] days after the end of such Calendar Quarter. Each payment of royalties due to Janssen shall be accompanied by a statement of the amount of gross sales and Net Sales of each Licensed Product in each country in the Territory during the applicable Calendar Quarter (including such amounts expressed in local currency and as converted to Dollars) and a calculation of the amount of royalty payment due on such Net Sales for such Calendar Quarter.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to account for Net Sales and to provide such reports with respect thereto as if such sales were made by Licensee.





	
6.5
	
Mode of Payment.  All payments to either Party under this Agreement shall be made by deposit of Dollars in the requisite amount to such bank account as the Payee Party may from time-to-time designate by notice to the paying Party.  For the purpose of calculating any sums due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than Dollars), a Party shall convert any amount expressed in a foreign currency into Dollar equivalents using its, its Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s standard conversion methodology consistent with GAAP.    





	
6.6
	
Taxes.  




6.6.1Deductions and Withholdings.  Licensee will make all payments to Janssen under this Agreement without deduction or withholding for taxes except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law in effect at the time of payment.

6.6.2Required Withholdings.  Any tax required to be withheld on amounts payable under this Agreement will promptly be transferred by Licensee on behalf of Janssen to the appropriate governmental authority, and Licensee will furnish Janssen with proof of payment of such tax.  Any such tax required to be withheld will be an expense of and borne by Janssen.

6.6.3Failure to Withhold.  If Licensee had a duty to withhold taxes in connection with any payment it made to Janssen under this Agreement but Licensee failed to withhold, and such taxes were assessed against and paid by Licensee, then Janssen will indemnify and hold harmless Licensee from and against the assessment and enforcement of such taxes (including interest).  If Licensee makes a claim under this Section ‎6.6.3 (Failure to Withhold), and Janssen provides it with the requisite payment, Licensee will comply with the obligations imposed by Section 6.6.2 (Required Withholdings) as it would have had Licensee withheld taxes from a payment to Janssen.  

6.6.4Cooperation.  Janssen and Licensee will cooperate with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested by each other to request a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding taxes. 


	
6.7
	
Interest on Late Payments.  If any undisputed payment due to either Party under this Agreement is not paid when due, then the paying Party shall pay interest thereon (before and after any judgment) at an annual rate (but with interest accruing on a daily basis) of [***]% above the then-current prime rate quoted by Citibank in New York City, New York (but in no event in excess of the maximum 




29

[***] Portions of this exhibit have been redacted pursuant to a confidential treatment request. An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission. 




		
rate permissible under Applicable Law), such interest to run from the date on which payment of such sum became due until payment thereof in full together with such interest.  





	
6.8
	
Financial Records.  Licensee shall and shall cause its Affiliates and its Sublicensees to, keep complete and accurate financial books and records pertaining to the Net Sales of Licensed Products, in sufficient detail to calculate and verify all amounts payable hereunder.  Licensee shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its Sublicensees to, retain such books and records until the later of (i) [***] years after the end of the period to which such books and records pertain or (ii) the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof), or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law.





	
6.9
	
Audit.  During the Term and for a period of [***] years thereafter, at the request of Janssen, Licensee shall and shall cause its Sublicensees that are Commercializing a Licensed Product (other than Third Party Distributors) and its Affiliates to, permit an independent auditor designated by Janssen and reasonably acceptable to Licensee, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to audit the books and records maintained pursuant Section 3.11 (Records) and Section 6.8 (Financial Records) to ensure the accuracy of all reports and payments made hereunder.  Janssen will cause the accounting firm to enter into a commercially reasonable written confidentiality agreement and to limit its audit report to Janssen solely to that information set forth in the preceding sentence.  The accounting firm will be instructed to provide its audit report first to Licensee, and then will be further instructed to redact any proprietary information of Licensee not relevant to verifying the accuracy of the applicable reports prior to providing that audit report to Janssen.  Except as provided below, the cost of this audit shall be borne by Janssen, unless the audit reveals a variance of more than [***]% from the reported amounts, in which case Licensee shall bear the cost of the audit.  Unless disputed pursuant to Section 6.10 (Audit Dispute), if such audit concludes that (i) additional amounts were owed by Licensee, Licensee shall pay the additional amounts, with interest from the date originally due as provided in Section 6.7 (Interest on Late Payments) or (ii) excess payments were made by Licensee, then Janssen shall reimburse such excess payments, in either case ((i) or (ii)), within [***] days after the date on which such audit is completed.  





	
6.10
	
Audit Dispute.  In the event of a dispute with respect to any audit under Section 6.9 (Audit), Janssen and Licensee shall work in good faith to resolve the disagreement.  If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such dispute within [***] days, the dispute shall be submitted for resolution to a certified public accounting firm jointly selected by each Party or to such other Person as the Parties shall mutually agree (the “Auditor”).  The decision of the Auditor shall be final and the costs of such arbitration as well as the initial audit shall be borne between the Parties in such manner as the Auditor shall determine.  Not later than [***] days after such decision and in accordance with such decision, the owing Party shall pay the additional amounts as provided in Section 6.9 (Audit).

comment on such matters and will give such comments due consideration.  All costs and expenses for preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Janssen Patents will be borne by [***].  





	
(iii)
	
Abandonment by [***].  If during the Research Term for a Janssen Patent that is not a Product Patent or during the [***] Patent Prosecution Period for a Product Patent, [***] elects not to prosecute or maintain such Janssen Patent or Product Patent in a country, then [***] will provide [***] with written notice after any such election to allow [***] a reasonable period of time to determine, in its sole discretion, its interest in such Janssen Patent or Product Patent (which notice by [***] will be given no later than [***] days prior to the final deadline for any pending action or response that may be due with respect to such Patent with the applicable patent authority).

Enforcement and Defense of Patents.  




7.3.1Notification.  If either Party (i) becomes aware of any suspected infringement or misappropriation of any Janssen Technology, Licensee Technology or Joint Technology anywhere in the Territory that (in the case of Patents) Cover (or in the case of Information, is used in) the Exploitation of (a) Portfolio Compound during the Research Term or (b) a Licensed Compound or a Licensed Product during the Term or (ii) receives any application, submission or notice under 21 U.S.C. §355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) or a certification that is, or is comparable to, a Paragraph IV Patent Certification by a Third Party filing an Abbreviated New Drug Application or filing an application under §505(b)(2), or other similar patent certification by a Third Party, in each case that comprises, incorporates, or otherwise competes with any Licensed Product (each (i) and (ii), a “Competing Infringement”), that Party will promptly notify the other Party (in all instances, such timeframe to be sufficiently prompt to provide the other Party the opportunity to respond to such proceedings) and provide it with all details of such Competing Infringement of which it is aware (each, a “Competing Infringement Notice”).

The Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party written notice within [***] days (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under this Article 10 (Indemnity), but in no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice.  Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time).

10.3.2Control of Defense.  At its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense 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 defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.  Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party.  In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim.  Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 10.3.3 (Right to Participate in Defense), the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim unless specifically requested in writing by the indemnifying Party.  In the event that it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.

10.3.3Right to Participate in Defense.  Any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to engage counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such engagement shall be at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense unless (i) the engagement thereof has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying Party, or (ii) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense in accordance with Section 10.3.2 (Control of Defense) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense). 

10.3.4Settlement.  With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that shall not result in the applicable indemnitee becoming subject to injunctive or other relief and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the applicable indemnitee hereunder, the indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Losses, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate.  With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.3.2 (Control of Defense), the indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If the indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim.

10.3.5Cooperation.  Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense 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 afforded to 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 Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and

explanation of any material provided hereunder and the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

10.3.6Expenses.  Except as provided above, the costs and expenses, including permissible fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter 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.

Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition.  The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.  The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

All persons employed by a Party shall be employees of such Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations incurred by reason of any such employment shall be for the account and expense of such first Party.  No past, present or future director, officer, employee, agent or attorney of either Party hereto, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of a Party hereto under this Agreement (including with respect to any representation or  y made in or in connection with this Agreement) or for any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding (whether in contract, in tort, in equity, or otherwise) based on, in respect of or by reason of the transaction contemplated herein.
