BII,
its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall not incur discounts,
allowances, credits, rebates or other deductions on the BII Product
in order to advantage other products of BII, its Affiliates and
Sublicensees, such that the BII Product would bear a
disproportionate portion of such deductions. All defined deductions
in this section shall be consistent with BII’s audited
financial statements.


 


For the
sake of clarity and avoidance of doubt, sales by BII, its
Affiliates, or Sublicensees of a BII Product to Recognized Agent of
such BII Product in a given country shall be considered a sale to a
Third Party customer.


 


Any
disposal of BII Products for promotional or advertising purposes,
or use of BII Products in clinical or preclinical trials, given as
free samples, or distributed at no charge to patients unable to
purchase BII Product shall not be included in Net Sales. Donations
for charity reasons shall also not be part of Net
Sales.


 


Upon
any sale or other disposal of any BII Product that should be
included in Net Sales for any consideration other than an
exclusively monetary consideration on bona fide arm’s length
terms, then for purposes of calculating the Net Sales under this
Agreement, such BII Product shall be deemed to be sold exclusively
for money at the average sales price during the applicable
reporting period generally achieved for such BII Product in the
country in which such sale or other disposal occurred when such BII
Product is sold alone and not with other products.


 


In the
event no sales
price is available for the BII Product alone in such country during
the applicable reporting period, then such BII Product shall be
deemed to be sold exclusively for money at the arithmetic mean
sales price during the applicable reporting period generally
achieved for such BII Product in all countries in which such sale
or other disposal occurred when such BII Product is sold alone and
not with other products (provided, however, that if such BII
Product is not sold alone in any country, then BII shall calculate
in good faith a hypothetical market price for the BII Product,
allocating the same proportion of costs, overhead and profit as are
then allocated to all similar substances then being made and
marketed by BII and having an ascertainable market price; provided,
however, that if BII in good faith disputes BII’s
calculation, the Parties shall submit the matter promptly for
resolution in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure
outlined in Article 12).


 


In the
event a BII Product is sold as a Combination Product or a
Co-Packaged Product, Net Sales of such Combination Product or
Co-Packaged Product will be calculated as follows:


 




(i)

In the case of
Combination Product and/or Co-Packaged Product, if the BII Product
and the other products therein are sold separately, Net Sales of
the BII Product






 



 

-8-







 









  






 

 








portion of
Combination Products and/or the Co-Packaged Products will be
calculated by multiplying the total Net Sales of the Combination
Product and/or Co-Packaged Product by the fraction A/(A+B), where A
is the average gross selling price in the applicable country in the
Territory of the BII Product sold separately in the same
formulation and dosage, and B is the sum of the average gross
selling prices in the applicable country in the Territory of all
other therapeutically or prophylactically active ingredients or
products in the Combination Product [***].





 









(ii)

If the Combination
Product and/or the Co-Packaged Product and the BII Product are sold
separately, but the average gross selling price of the other
product(s) cannot be determined, Net Sales of the Combination
Product or the Co-Packaged Product shall be equal to [***]. the Net
Sales of the Combination Product or Co-Packaged Product multiplied
by the fraction A/C wherein A is the average gross selling price of
the BII Product and C is the average gross selling price of the
Combination Product or Co-Packaged Product.





 




(iii)

If the Combination
Product and/or the Co-Packaged Product and the other product(s) are
sold separately, but the average gross selling price of the BII
Product cannot be determined, Net Sales of the Combination Product
and/or Co-Packaged Product shall be equal to the Net Sales of the
Combination Product and/or Co-Packaged Product multiplied by the
following formula: one (1) minus B/C wherein B is the average gross
selling price of the other product(s) and C is the average gross
selling price of the Combination Product and/or Co-Packaged
Product.





 




(iv)

If the Combination
Product or Co-Packaged Product are sold but the average gross
selling price of neither the BII Product nor the other product(s)
can be determined, Net Sales of the Combination Product or
Co-Packaged Product shall be equal to Net Sales of the Combination
Product or Co-Packaged Product multiplied by a mutually agreed
percentage.





 


The
average gross selling price for such other product(s) contained in
the Combination Product or Co-Packaged Product shall be calculated
for each Calendar Year [***]. In the initial Calendar Year during
which a Combination Product or Co-Packaged Product is sold, a
forecasted average gross selling price shall be used for BII
Product, other product(s), or Combination Product and/or
Co-Packaged Product. Any over or underpayment due to a difference
between forecasted and actual average gross selling prices shall be
paid or credited in the second Earn-Out-Payment payment of the
following Calendar Year. In the following Calendar Year the average
gross selling price of the previous Calendar Year shall apply from
the second Earn-Out-Payment payment on.


 




1.1.44

“Oxford Agreement” shall
mean the loan and security agreement between Oxford Finance LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company with an office located at 133
North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314, (“Oxford

substantially similar to any of the foregoing described in
subsections (a)-(d) above.





 




1.1.46

1.1.47

“Phase I Clinical Trial”
means a human clinical trial conducted in any country that meets
the requirements of 21 CFR §312.21(a). By way of example and
not limitation, a Phase I Clinical Trial is usually performed as a

patients to assess specific administration, distribution,
metabolism, excretion (ADME), safety and tolerability,
bioavailability/bioequivalence or exploratory efficacy (in the
sense of demonstrating “proof-of-principle”) of an
investigational drug, and the emphasis in Phase I is usually on
safety and tolerability and it is typically used to plan patient
dosing in Phase II Clinical Trials. For clarity, a Phase I Clinical
Trial may also represent the initial phase of a combined Phase
Ib/II Clinical Trial.





 




1.1.48

“Phase III Clinical Trial”
means a human clinical trial conducted in any country that meets
the requirements of 21 CFR §312.21(c). By way of example and
not limitation, a Phase III Clinical Trial is a large scale
Clinical Trial (usually several hundreds of patients) performed
after preliminary evidence suggesting effectiveness of the drug has
been obtained in Phase II clinical studies, and it is intended to
gather the pivotal information about effectiveness and safety that
is needed to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of the
drug and, along with other clinical trials, to provide an adequate
basis for Regulatory Approval. For clarity, a Phase III Clinical
Trial may also represent the second part of a combined Phase II/III
Clinical Trial.

“Recognized Agent” means
any Third Party who distributes products directly to customers
[***]





 




1.1.50

sold by or on behalf of BII, its Affiliates and Sublicensees during
a Calendar Quarter in each country of the Territory in sufficient
detail to permit confirmation of the accuracy of the Earn-Out
Payment paid, and BII shall pay to MabVax Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., within
[***] days thereafter, all Earn-Out Payment payable by BII. If
applicable, by separate notice, BII will provide a confirmation
including gross sales and Net Sales of any and all BII Product on a
country-by-country basis (including calculation of Net Sales of
Combination Products or Co-Packaged Products ) in the currency for
which such BII Product was sold, and, if the currency of sale was
not US dollars, also in US dollars; an accounting of deductions

basis; on a country-by-country basis, any reduction, including the

5.4.6

Financial Audit. BII shall keep
(and shall cause its Affiliates and Sub-Licensees to keep) complete
and accurate records pertaining to the sale or other disposition of
BII Products in sufficient detail to permit BII to confirm the
accuracy of all Earn-Out Payment payments reported, for at least
[***] full Calendar Years following the end of the Calendar Year to
which they pertain. MabVax Therapeutics Holdings Inc. shall have
the right to cause an independent, certified public accountant
reasonably acceptable to BII (the “Auditor”) to audit
such records solely to confirm Net Sales, Milestone Payments and
Earn-Out Payments for a period
covering not more than the preceding [***] full Calendar Years,
provided that such audits may not be performed more than [***] a
year and only [***] per audited period. Such audits may be
exercised during normal business hours upon reasonable prior
written notice to BII. The Auditor will execute a reasonable
written confidentiality agreement with BII and will disclose to
MabVax Therapeutics Holdings Inc. only such information as is
reasonably necessary to provide MabVax Therapeutics Holdings Inc.
with information regarding any actual or potential discrepancies
between amounts reported and actually paid and amounts payable
under this Agreement. The report of the Auditor will include the
methodology and calculations used to determine the results, will be
delivered to BII and MabVax Therapeutics Holdings Inc. at the same
time, and will be final [***] Business Days after delivery to both
Parties,






 

 



 

-16-







 









  






 

 









it being understood
that BII will have the right during such [***] Business Day period
to discuss the report with the Auditor. In the event the Parties
are not in alignment after such [***] Business Day period, either
Party may refer this matter for resolution in accordance with the
defined dispute resolution procedure set forth in Article 13 within
[***] Business Days. MabVax Therapeutics Holdings Inc. shall bear
the full cost of such audit unless the report of the Auditor
discloses an underpayment by BII of more than [***] percent
([***]%) of the amount due for any Calendar Year, in which case BII
shall bear the full cost of such audit. BII shall pay the amount of
any underpayment disclosed in the undisputed Auditor’s
report, together with interest thereon to MabVax Therapeutics
Holdings Inc. within [***] days after delivery to the Parties of
the final Auditor’s report. If such final Auditor’s
report discloses an overpayment by BII of the amounts payable
hereunder, BII shall have the right to offset the overpayment
against the actual Earn-Out
Payment following the audit in question. Upon the expiration
of [***] full Calendar Years following the end of any Calendar
Year, the calculation of Earn-Out
Payment payments with respect to such Calendar Year shall be
binding and BII shall be released from any liability and obligation
with respect to payments for such year except in the case of fraud
or willful deceit.





 






5.4.7

Currency Conversion. All
Earn-Out Payments shall be payable in full in US dollars. Any sales
of BII Products incurred in a currency other than US dollars shall
be converted to the US dollars equivalent using a rate of exchange
that corresponds to the rate used by BII or any of its Affiliates
or Sublicensees recording such receipt or expenditure, for the
respective reporting period, related to recording such Net Sales or
expenses in its books and records that are maintained in accordance
with the applicable Accounting Standards consistently used by BII,
its Affiliates or their respective Sublicensees. If such party is
not required to perform such currency conversion for its respective
Accounting Standards reporting with respect to the applicable
period, then for such period such party shall convert its amounts
received and expenses incurred into US dollars using exchange rates
published by the European Central Bank (ECB), Frankfurt, Germany.
For exchange rates not published by ECB an alternative source will
be agreed between the Parties. Any Earn-Out-Payment shall be
calculated based upon the US dollars equivalent calculated in
accordance with the foregoing.





 




5.5

Payment Terms. BII shall pay
all amounts payable under this Agreement as stated in the
respective sections, upon delivery to BII of an Invoice for such
amounts by MabVax Therapeutics
Holdings Inc.. All payments to be made by BII to
MabVax Therapeutics Holdings
Inc. under this Agreement shall be made in US dollars and may be paid by bank wire
transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as may
be designated by MabVax Therapeutics
Holdings Inc. from time to time.





 




5.6

Taxes in general. Subject to
Section 5.7, all payments under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be inclusive of any Taxes and each Party shall be
responsible for and shall bear, pay or set-off its own Taxes
assessed by a tax or other authority except as otherwise set forth
in this Agreement.





 




5.7

VAT. All payments due to the
terms of this Agreement are expressed to be exclusive of value
added tax (VAT) or similar indirect taxes (e.g. goods and service
tax). VAT/indirect taxes shall be added to the payments due to the
terms if legally applicable.





 




5.8

Withholding Tax. If Applicable
Laws or regulations require withholding by BII and/or its
Affiliates of any taxes imposed upon MabVax Therapeutics Holdings Inc. on
account of any Earn-Out Payments and other payments paid under this
Agreement to benefit of MABVAX,
such taxes have to be retained by BII and/or its Affiliates as
required by local law from such remittable royalty and other
payment and shall be paid by BII and/or its Affiliates to the
proper tax authorities on account






 

 



 

-17-







 









  






 

 








of MabVax Therapeutics Holdings Inc. Official
receipts of payment of any retained local withholding tax shall be
secured and sent by BII and/or its Affiliates to MabVax Therapeutics Holdings Inc. as
evidence of such payment only on MabVax Therapeutics Holdings Inc.’s
request. The Parties shall cooperate and exercise their best
efforts to ensure that any withholding taxes imposed on
MabVax Therapeutics Holdings
Inc. are reduced as far as possible under the provisions of
any relevant double tax treaty. Withholding taxes retained by BII
and/or its Affiliates and paid to the proper German/local tax
authorities as well as a possible refund of retained and paid local
withholding taxes from the German/local tax authorities in favor of
MabVax Therapeutics Holdings
Inc. are paid in local/German currency (Local currency/EUR).
Any effect by currency conversion is benefit or burden of
MabVax Therapeutics Holdings
Inc. as tax-payer and are not refundable or taken by BII
and/or its Affiliates.





 






5.9

Interest on Late Payments. If
BII fails to pay any payment due under this Agreement as provided
herein on or before the date such payment is due, then such late
payment will bear interest, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, at an annual rate of [***] percent ([***]%) above the 1 month
EUR LIBOR rate which applied on the due date effective for the
first date on which payment was delinquent and calculated for the
exact number of days in the interest period based on a year of
three hundred sixty (360) days (actual/360). If the LIBOR is no
longer published, the Parties will agree upon another
internationally recognized rate which has historically been
substantially equivalent to the 1 month EUR LIBOR rate and utilize
such rate retroactively to such time as the rate was no longer
available.





 




5.10

Loss or Damage to the Acquired
Assets. Prior to the Closing, any loss or damage to the
Acquired Assets shall be the sole responsibility of
MABVAX.





 




5.11

Commercially Reasonable
Efforts. BII shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to
advance the development of at least one (1) BII Product into a
Phase I Clinical Trial. BII shall endeavour to achieve (a) Start of
Development of a BII Product within approximately [***] months
after the Effective Date, and (b) Initiation of the first Phase I
Clinical Trial of a BII Product approximately [***] months after
the effective date of the Agreement, it being understood by the
Parties these timelines are anticipated timelines only and are
neither binding nor enforceable under this Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, BII is permitted to suspend or stop the
development of a BII Product for a period that does not exceed
[***] months even as such suspension or stoppage would be a breach
of BII’s obligation to use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts.





 




5.12

S[***]Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement, the Parties
agree, that in the event BII makes any payments that are due under
this Article 5 to [***] and not to MabVax Therapeutics Holdings Inc. pursuant
to the [***] Agreement, such payments shall not be made by BII to
MabVax Therapeutics Holdings Inc.,
(or, for the avoidance of doubt, to MabVax Therapeutics
Inc.) under this Agreement.

performed for the benefit of MABVAX. For clarity, work, whether
performed before or after the Closing Date, which relates to the
transfer of the [***] Program Patents to BII pursuant to this
Agreement shall not be “work performed for the benefit of
MABVAX”. Upon BII’s written request and at BII’s
expense, MABVAX will be responsible for Prosecuting the [***]
Program Patents for up to [***] days after the Closing Date;
provided, however, that “Prosecuting”
solely for the purposes of this Section 8.6.6
shall mean filing such documents as
may be reasonably necessary to continue the pendency of a patent
application for at least [***] days after the filing of such
document. Otherwise, BII will be responsible for Prosecuting the
[***] Program Patents as of the Closing Date. For a period of [***]
years after the Closing Date, MABVAX will further cooperate with
and reasonably assist and provide support to BII in relation to the
prosecution and maintenance of [***] Program Patents, at
BII’s request and expense. In the event that BII does not

expense.





 




8.6.7

Covenant Not to Sue. MABVAX
hereby agrees that with respect to any Patent or other Intellectual
Property that, on the date of Closing, they own or under which they
have the right to grant licenses, they will not assert against BII,
its Affiliates, Sublicensees or its or their distributors or
independent contractors, any claims for infringement of such Patent
or Intellectual Property based on the research, development,
manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or license, or import of the
Acquired Assets, and/or any BII Product in the Field in the
Territory.





 





8.6.8

Non-Compete. After the Closing
Date until the [***] anniversary of the Closing Date, MABVAX
undertakes to BII that it shall not, and shall procure that its
Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly conduct any activity
involving the research, development, commercialization or other
exploitation

of a [***] Program
and/or any product competing with a BII Product, or fund, authorize
or assist any such activity.





 




8.6.9

Conditional No Challenge. To
the extent legally enforceable, MABVAX hereby agrees, so long as a
[***] Program Patent is pending or in force, neither to file any
Action that challenges the validity, enforceability or
patentability of such [***] Program Patent, nor to support any
Third Party to file such an Action; provided however, that none of
the foregoing shall apply to any Action (including counter-claims)
filed by MABVAX in the defense of an Action brought by BII or its
licensees against MABVAX alleging patent infringement. MABVAX shall
bind any of its assignees to this obligation.





 




8.7

Additional Records. Within a
reasonable time but no later than [***] days after Closing, MABVAX
will provide to BII copies of books, records, or other documents,
if any, which are not Books and Records, but which are necessary

copies any information that does not relate to the [***] Program
and BII will have the right to use such copies only in connection
with its operation and ownership of the [***] Program.





 




8.8

Removal of Assets. All tangible
Acquired Assets will be moved by MABVAX within [***] Business Days
after Closing from MABVAX’s to
BII’s premises, as listed in Sections 8.2.1
and 8.2.2, at

the receiving Party and, except with the consent of the disclosing
Party or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, shall neither
be used by the receiving Party nor disclosed by the receiving Party
to others. For clarity, the terms and the existence of this
Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall be considered
Confidential Information of both Parties. MABVAX shall neither use
nor disclose to Third Parties any Confidential Information related
to the Acquired Assets.





 




9.2

A receiving Party
may disclose and authorize the use of the disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information (a) to and by its Affiliates, consultants,
advisors, and agents only to the extent necessary to carry out the
Party’s rights and responsibilities under this Agreement, (b)
in the course of the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, or (c) to actual or potential investors, acquirors,
licensees or sublicensees, as applicable, provided however, that
the receiving Party will ensure that said Affiliates, consultants,
advisors, agents, actual or potential investors, acquirors,
licensees or sublicensees, as applicable, are bound to such Party
by obligations of confidentiality and limited use at least as
restrictive as the obligations of such Party under this
Agreement.





 




9.3

The Parties agree
to take or cause action to be taken to preserve the confidentiality
of Confidential Information received from another Party as it would
customarily take to preserve the confidentiality of its own
Confidential Information, using in all such circumstances, not less

Except
as required by law and subject to Sections 8.3 and 9.2 above,
neither Party will disclose the terms of this Agreement without the
written consent of the other Party.





 




9.5

In the event disclosure of Confidential
Information is required by Applicable Law or rules of a security
exchange, then the disclosing Party will provide reasonable advance
written notice to the other Party of the timing, nature, and
content, of the anticipated disclosure, and shall use its
reasonable efforts to assist the disclosing Party in objecting to such request. If
the receiving Party is compelled to disclose any of the
Confidential Information pursuant to such legal or governmental
proceeding or Applicable Law or rules, receiving Party shall use
its

reasonable efforts to assist disclosing Party in

Information. Any Confidential Information so disclosed shall still
be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

digital media, or any other materials or substances, containing
Confidential Information,
including all copies and excerpts thereof except for one archival
copy, to be retained by BII in a secure manner for archival
purposes only. The return of such media or materials shall not
affect the obligations of BII as to confidentiality or non-use as
set forth herein.





 




9.7

For the sake of clarity, any and all of
MABVAX’s Confidential Information included in the Acquired
Assets transferred to BII at Closing, with the exception only of
Books and Records which are stored in accordance with
Section 8.2.1 above, which constitute Confidential Information
of both Parties, will no longer be considered MABVAX’s Confidential Information after
Closing, but will thereupon be BII’s Confidential Information
that MABVAX will be obligated to protect in accordance with the
provisions of this Article 8.





 




9.8

The Parties
undertake to protect Confidential Information (including but not
limited to patent-relevant, scientific or technical information)
against unauthorized access by Third Parties. If Confidential

encryption technology is compulsory (for direct communication
between the Parties, BII provides for a suitable technology at

[***] Program, including without limitation the discontinuation of
research, development or commercialization of the Acquired Assets
and/or BII Products, upon [***] days prior written notice to
MABVAX.





 




14.3.2

Termination for Breach
of Covenants. BII shall be
entitled to terminate this Agreement at any time, if MABVAX does
not fulfill its contractual obligations under Article 8 after
Closing, and provided MABVAX does not cure such non-fulfillment of
its contractual obligations within [***] Business Days after

14.3.3

of Representations and Warranties. Subject to Section 12.1, BII
shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement, if MABVAX is in
breach of any of the representations and warranties given in

case of Section 7.1.12 and 7.1.13 only if such breach would have








 










 

-33-







 








 

 











 

a Material Adverse
Effect, and provided MABVAX does not
cure the alleged breach of such warranty within [***] Business Days
after receipt of written notice from BII regarding such breach of
warranty. However, such cure is not possible in case
of MABVAX’s breach of warranty has caused an
impairment of the Acquired Assets as solely determined by
BII.





 




14.3.4

Termination for Breach
at any Time. This Agreement may
be terminated at any time after Closing by any Party, if the other
Party (the “Defaulting
Party”) is in default of
any of its material obligations under this Agreement,
including without limitation a breach
of the confidentiality and non-use obligations set forth under
Article 9 of this Agreement (“Default”)
which Default remains uncured for [***] days, each measured from
the date written notice of such Default is provided to the
Defaulting Party. The Party terminating the Agreement based on this
Section 14.3.4 (the “Non-Defaulting
Party”) shall provide
written notice to the Defaulting Party, which notice shall identify
the Default, the intent to so terminate and the actions or conduct
that it considers would be an acceptable cure of such Default. In
case the Defaulting Party disputes the Default under this
Section 14.3.4,
then the issue of whether the Non-Defaulting Party may properly
terminate this Agreement on expiration of the applicable cure
period shall be resolved in accordance with Article 13 of this
Agreement. If, as a result of such dispute resolution process, it
is determined that the alleged Defaulting Party committed a Default
and that the Default has not been cured prior to such
determination, then the Agreement, subject to the limitation in
this Section 14.3.4,
shall be terminated effective as of the determination unless the
arbitration tribunal as set forth in Article 13 of this Agreement
determines that the Default is of a nature that can be cured within
[***] days after the date of such judgment and indicates what
minimal actions need to be completed with such time period (the
“Additional Cure
Period”) to cure the
Default. In this latter case, the termination shall be effective as
of the expiration of the Additional Cure Period unless the
Defaulting Party completes the required actions on or prior to such
date. If the Parties dispute whether such Default was so cured,
either Party alone may request the same court to determine whether
it was so cured, and the Parties shall cooperate to allow such
determination to be made within [***] Business Days after such
request by either Party. The dispute resolution proceeding
contemplated above in this Section 14.3.4
does not suspend any obligations of
either Party hereunder, and each Party shall use reasonable efforts
to mitigate any damages resulting from a Default. If as a result of
such dispute resolution proceeding it is determined that the
alleged Defaulting Party did not commit the alleged Default (or
such Default was cured in accordance with this Section
14.3.4 prior to or during the Additional Cure Period),
then no termination shall be effective, and this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect.





 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, MABVAX shall not have the right to terminate this
Agreement for BII’s Default following [***], provided that
BII pays MABVAX the amount of such damages that have been awarded
by a dispute resolution proceeding pursuant to Article 13 and
without prejudice to any other remedies MABVAX may have under
Applicable Law.

employ or use the name, trademarks and logo of the other Party in
any promotional materials or advertising without obtaining the
prior, express written consent of the other

Waiver. The terms and conditions of the Transaction
Documents may be waived only by a written instrument executed by
duly authorized representatives of the Party waiving compliance.
The failure of either Party at any time to require performance of

condition or term shall be deemed as a continuing waiver of such
condition or term or as a waiver of another condition or
term.

in, to and under the Acquired Assets, and Buyer has agreed to assume, timely perform and
discharge in accordance with their respective terms, the Assumed

acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, it is
hereby agreed that:

 

1. Definitions. Unless otherwise
defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Assignment
Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Asset Purchase

right, title and interest in, to and under the Acquired Assets free
and clear of Encumbrances, and Buyer hereby accepts such sale,
conveyance, transfer, assignment and delivery from Seller;
provided, however, that the

Assets that are specifically assigned or transferred pursuant to
any other Transaction Document are being specifically assigned and
transferred pursuant to such other Transaction Documents and, in
each case, shall not be assigned or transferred pursuant to this
Section
2.

 

3. Assumption of Assumed
Liabilities. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer hereby
assumes, accepts and agrees to timely perform and discharge in
accordance with their respective terms any and all of the Assumed

however, that any Assumed Liabilities that are specifically

not be assumed pursuant to this Section 3.

 

4. Subject to the Asset Purchase and

whole or in part if, but only if, such amendment, supplement or
modification is in writing and is signed by each party and specific
reference to this Assignment Agreement is made. Any provision of

waiver is in writing and is signed by the party or parties against
whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought and specific
reference to this Assignment Agreement is made. The waiver by any

subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy.

 

9. Severability. If any provision
of this Assignment Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by
any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this
Assignment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The

Exhibit D


 



Press Release



 



MabVax Therapeutics and Boehringer Ingelheim Sign Asset Purchase
and License Agreement and Related Agreements for an Antibody
Development Program Targeting Multiple Solid Tumor
Cancers

 


 


SAN
DIEGO, CA – July
9, 2018 – MabVax
Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: MBVX), a clinical-stage
oncology drug development company and Boehringer Ingelheim today
announced they have signed an asset acquisition and related
agreements centered on MabVax’s program targeting a glycan
commonly overexpressed on multiple solid tumor cancers. Boehringer
Ingelheim has acquired all
rights in and to the program.

 


MabVax
will receive a total of US $11 million in upfront and near term
milestones as well as downstream regulatory milestone payments plus
further earn-out payments. The asset acquisition is separate and
distinct from other programs under development at MabVax, enabling
MabVax to retain all rights to its lead HuMab-5B1antibody program
which is in Phase 1 clinical trials as a therapeutic product and as
a diagnostic product, as well as other antibody discovery programs
from the Company’s rich antibody discovery portfolio
targeting other cancer antigens.


 


MabVax
discovered the antibody series at the center of this transaction
from biological samples, originally from patients who were
vaccinated against their solid tumors with a glycan
antigen-containing vaccine. The discovery of fully human antibodies
directly from vaccinated cancer patients has potential advantages
which include greater specificity and reduced toxicities. MabVax
completed and has reported on early preclinical development
activities to establish the utility of the program.

 


“We
are very pleased to have Boehringer Ingelheim as a major industry
partner to further develop one of our preclinical antibody assets
based on our proprietary HuMab technology,” said David
Hansen, President and CEO of MabVax Therapeutics. “This agreement with Boehringer
Ingelheim recognizes the value of our innovative approach to
discovering novel antibodies to diagnose and treat cancer.
We have been committed since the founding of the Company to
discovering and developing unique fully human antibodies to
diagnose and treat patients with cancers where there remain
significant unmet medical needs.”

 



About MabVax:


 



MabVax Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. is a clinical-stage
biotechnology company with a fully human antibody discovery
platform focused on the rapid translation into clinical development
of products to address unmet medical needs in the treatment of
cancer. Our antibody MVT-5873, is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal
antibody (mAb) that targets sialyl Lewis A (sLea), an epitope on
CA19-9, and is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials as a
therapeutic agent for patients with pancreatic cancer and other
CA19-9 positive tumors. CA19-9 is expressed in over 90% of
pancreatic cancers and in other diseases including small cell lung
and GI cancers. CA19-9 plays an important role in tumor adhesion
and metastasis, and is a marker of an aggressive cancer phenotype.
CA19-9 serum levels are considered a valuable adjunct in the
diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring of pancreatic cancer.
With our collaborators including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center, Sarah Cannon Research Institute, Honor Health and Imaging
Endpoints, we have treated over 56 patients with either our
therapeutic antibody designated as MVT-5873 or our PET imaging
diagnostic product designated as MVT-2163 in Phase 1 clinical
studies, and demonstrated early safety and specificity for the
target. Patient dosing is continuing in Phase 1 clinical studies of
MVT-5873 in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine to
patients newly diagnosed with CA19-9 positive pancreatic cancer,
and for the Company's radioimmunotherapy product MVT-1075. Other
discovery programs at MabVax are in preclinical development. For

matter, without the prior express written permission of the other
Party, except as may be required by applicable law or securities
exchange regulations.





 







10.

This is the entire
Agreement, including all exhibits and schedules hereto, between the
Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior representations, understanding and agreements between the

court of competent jurisdiction or is deemed unenforceable under
then applicable law during the Term, it is the intention of the

are not materially affected negatively. The Parties agree to
renegotiate any such provision or the application thereof in good
faith in order to provide a reasonably acceptable alternative to
