Should an inspection pursuant to this Section 9.4.1 lead to the discovery of a discrepancy in the accuracy the amount of payments due or Costs hereunder, then the appropriate Party will pay to the other the amount of the discrepancy (plus, if the error was in favor of the Auditing Party, interest accrued at the Contract Interest Rate, compounded annually from the day the relevant payment(s) were due). The Auditing Party will pay for any audit under this Section 9.4.1; provided that if a payment discrepancy was greater than [***] percent ([***]%) of the correct amount for the audited period and the discrepancy was in favor of the Audited Party, then the Audited Party will pay the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of such inspection. This Section 9.4.1 does not apply to or include pharmacovigilance audits, manufacturing audits or regulatory inspections.
9.4.2Compliance. Each Party will also keep complete and accurate records pertaining to the activities (other than financial activities covered by Section 9.4.1(Accounting)) to be

conducted hereunder in sufficient detail to permit, and shall permit, the Auditing Party to confirm the other Party’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement and Applicable Law (including, for clarity, any Quality and Compliance Standards). Such records will be open (in such form as may be available or reasonably requested) to inspection for [***] years following the end of the period to which they pertain; provided that such records shall be subject to audit no more than once per calendar year except in the event that additional compliance issues are identified during such audit, in which case additional audits shall be permitted, and such right shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. The Auditing Party will have the right to use its own internal auditing team or, at its own expense, an external auditing team selected by it, to perform a review of the records of the Audited Party. The audits will occur during regular business hours, with not less than [***] Business Days’ advance written notice and under reasonable obligations of confidentiality, unless the audits are requested by a Governmental Authority, in which case the Parties agree such notice period does not apply. The Audited Party will cooperate with the Auditing Party and, if applicable, the Governmental Authority, in these audits. Should an inspection pursuant to this Section 9.4.2 lead to the discovery of any material non-compliance by the Audited Party with this Agreement, then the Audited Party shall immediately take steps to remedy such material non-compliance. The Auditing Party will pay for any audit under this Section 9.4.2; provided that if material non-compliance was found as a result of such audit, then the Audited Party will pay the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of such inspection.
Section 9.5Blocked Currency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for any payment to a Party that is due and payable under this Agreement but is not successfully remitted to such Party upon the first application to the remitting bank in the Amgen Territory by the other Party or other payor (irrespective of whether the failure to remit payment is because of not passing the bank verification process, or because of ad hoc measures adopted by the Governmental Authorities in the Amgen Territory from time to time, or because approval is required from Governmental Authorities in the Amgen Territory, or for any other reason), the paying Party shall (i) as a guarantee and not as settlement, make payment of an equivalent amount in local currency to an account in a bank or depository in the Amgen Territory of the payee Party Affiliate designated by the payee Party in writing, (ii) immediately take all steps that are necessary or appropriate to rectify the inability to pay the payee Party, including initiating the proper approval process if applicable, and (iii) at such time as the inability to pay has been rectified, immediately pay to the payee Party the original amount that was due and payable at the time of deposit, notwithstanding any subsequent foreign exchange fluctuations. 
Section 9.6Taxes.  
9.6.1Withholding.

67








(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any reduction or exemption under an applicable Tax treaty).  All such taxes withheld shall be timely paid to the applicable tax authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
9.6.2Indirect Taxes. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by both Parties, all payments made pursuant to this Agreement are exclusive of Indirect Taxes. If Indirect Taxes are chargeable in respect of any payments made pursuant to this Agreement, the paying party shall pay such Indirect Taxes at the applicable rate in respect of such payments following receipt, where applicable, of an Indirect Taxes invoice in the appropriate form in accordance with Applicable Law issued by the receiving Party in respect of those payments. The Parties shall issue invoices for all amounts payable under this Agreement consistent with Applicable Law with respect to Indirect Tax and irrespective of whether the sums may be netted for settlement purposes. The Parties shall cooperate and use all reasonable efforts to obtain any applicable reduction, exemption, zero-rating, credit or refund in respect of any Indirect Tax in accordance with Applicable Law. If any amount of Indirect Tax is refunded by the applicable Governmental Authority or other fiscal authority subsequent to payment, the Party receiving such refund will transfer such amount to the paying Party within [***] days of receipt. [***]
9.6.3Employee Taxes. Each Party shall be responsible for taxes based on, imposed on or calculated by reference to any person employed by that Party.
9.6.4Cooperation and Actions Requiring Consent.

For the avoidance of doubt, the cooperation noted in this Section 9.6.4 may include signing any Tax returns, amended Tax returns, claims or other documents with respect to any Taxes or Tax controversy or proceeding, the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
(b)A Party (the “First Party”) shall not, with respect to any Tax matter relating to this Agreement, (i) contest an involuntary tax assessment that may give rise to a Tax for which the other Party may be liable or incur a Loss, (ii) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived, 
68








any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency with respect to which the other Party may be liable or incur a Loss, (iii) initiate any voluntary disclosure or other communication with any Governmental Authority in connection with any Taxes for which the other Party may be liable or incur a Loss, or (iv) settle any Tax matter or contest with respect to which the other Party may be liable or incur a Loss, in each case without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 9.7Late Payment. Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder which are not paid when due (other than amounts subject to a good faith dispute) will bear interest at the Contract Interest Rate, compounded annually, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent; provided that any amounts subject to such good faith dispute that are subsequently determined to be owed shall be subject to such interest calculated from the date such payment was initially due. This Section 9.7 will in no way limit any other remedies available to either Party.
Section 9.8Change in Accounting Periods. From time to time, either of the Parties may change its accounting and financial reporting practices from calendar quarters and calendar years to fiscal quarters and fiscal years or vice versa. If a Party notifies the other in writing of a change in its accounting and financial reporting practices from calendar quarters and calendar years to fiscal quarters and fiscal years or vice versa, then thereafter, beginning with the period specified in the notice, the Parties will cooperate to determine a way to report and reconcile each Party’s accounting periods so as to facilitate payments to be made hereunder.
Article X.

DISTRACTING PRODUCTS
Section10.1General. During the Term, except as otherwise set forth in Section 10.2 (Allowed Activities), each Party shall not itself (and each Party shall ensure that its Affiliates do not), conduct or participate in, or advise, assist or enable any Third Party to conduct or participate in, any Distracting Program (the “Distracting Program Restriction”) in the Amgen Territory or in the KKC Territory.    
Section10.2Allowed Activities. Notwithstanding anything in this Article X, each Party and its Affiliates will have the right to [***], subject to this Section 10.2 (Allowed Activities), and provided, for clarity, that no intellectual property or other rights of the other Party are granted hereunder to the Distracted Party with respect to a Distracting Product. At least [***] days prior to the anticipated initiation of the first [***] for such Distracting Product, the Party conducting such activities (the “Researching Party”) will notify the non-Researching Party and provide a non-confidential summary of the related Distracting Program to the non-Researching Party (“Program Notice”).  If the non-Researching Party desires to evaluate such Distracting Program, then the non-Researching Party will notify the Researching Party within [***] days of its receipt of the Program Notice.  Promptly after the Researching Party’s receipt of such evaluation notice, the Researching Party will provide the non-Researching Party with a confidential summary of the Distracting Program, including material pre-clinical data and 
69








proposed development plan and budget (as well as such other information that the non-Researching Party may reasonably request), which summary will be deemed to be Confidential Information of the Researching Party under this Agreement (and the non-Researching Party shall be entitled to use such information solely for the purpose of evaluating whether to include such Distracting Program in the collaboration).  Within [***] days of its receipt of such summary, the non-Researching Party will notify the Researching Party of its election to either (i) include the Distracting Program in the collaboration, in which case the (a) the Distracting Program will be included under the terms of this Agreement and all the technology, intellectual property and tangible materials (including biological compounds, chemical compounds, intermediates, assays, screens, animal models and reagents) of such Distracting Program will be considered within the Licensed KKC Patents, Licensed KKC Know-How, Licensed Amgen Patents, and Licensed Amgen Know-How, as applicable; (b) the Distracting Products included in the Distracting Program will be deemed Products hereunder; (c) the JDS will develop a Development Plan and Development Budget for each Distracting Product; and (d) the non-Researching Party will pay a one-time opt-in fee of [***], within [***] days following such election and, thereafter, all Global Development Costs and Commercialization and Related Costs with respect to each such Distracting Product will be shared [***] or (ii) decline to include such Distracting Program in the collaboration.  If the non-Researching Party declines to include such Distracting Program in the collaboration, then (x) from and after the date of such election, the obligations of the Researching Party set forth in Section 10.1 (General) will no longer apply with respect to such Distracting Program, (y) the non-Researching Party shall destroy the confidential summary of the Distracting Program provided to it by the Researching Party (provided, that the non-Researching Party shall be entitled to retain one (1) copy of such information for its record-keeping purposes), and (z) for clarity, the Party’s rights and obligations with respect to the Product shall remain unchanged and each Party shall continue to perform its obligations hereunder.  
Section10.3Distracting Transactions; Notice.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it shall not be deemed a breach of the Distracting Program Restriction by a Distracted Party if such Distracted Party enters into a Distracting Transaction and such Distracted Party complies with its obligations under this Section 10.3.  If a Party enters into a Distracting Transaction (and thereby becomes a Distracted Party) then it will provide notice to the other Party (the “Affected Party”), within [***] Business Days after the first public announcement or disclosure of such Distracting Transaction and if no public announcement or disclosure occurs, within [***] Business Days after the closing of such transaction (the “Distracting Transaction Notice”), describing in reasonable detail, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and without disclosing any proprietary information, the Distracting Program.  During the pendency of any potential Distracting Transaction, and until the provisions of either Section 10.3.1 (Divestiture of a Distracting Program) or Section 10.3.2 (Termination of a Distracting Program) are fully implemented, the Distracted Party will Segregate the Distracting Program from programs for the Product.  Any notice provided pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall include a notification as to whether the Distracted Party intends to Divest or terminate the Distracted Program.
10.3.1Divestiture of a Distracting Program. If the Distracted Party elects to Divest a Distracting Program arising from the Distracting Transaction, then it will Divest such Distracting 
70








Program within [***]. If the Distracted Party fails to complete a Divestiture of the Distracting Program within [***], then the Distracted Party will be deemed to have chosen to terminate the Distracting Program, effective as of such [***] month anniversary, and will promptly comply with the requirements of Section 10.3.2 (Termination of a Distracting Program); provided that if at the expiration of such [***]month period, the Distracted Party has agreed terms with a Third Party to Divest the Distracting Program arising from the Distracting Transaction then such [***]month period will be extended as required for the Distracted Party and such Third Party to consummate the transaction, but in no event will such extension exceed an additional [***] days.
10.3.2Termination of a Distracting Program.  If the Distracted Party elects to terminate a Distracting Program arising from a Distracting Transaction, it will terminate all activities of such Distracting Program within [***] [***] (other than any Clinical Studies or other activities which are being completed solely for ethical, regulatory, or legal obligations to complete the same and not for the purpose of obtaining Regulatory Approval).  [***]
Section10.4Reasonable Restrictions. The Distracted Party acknowledges the provisions of this Article X are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Affected Party and to encourage the free sharing of information between the Parties with respect to the Product, and the Distracted Party agrees not to contest such limitations in any proceeding. The Distracted Party acknowledges that the Affected Party would not have entered into this Agreement absent the restrictions set forth in this Article X and that a breach or threatened breach of this Article X would be likely to result in irreparable harm to the Affected Party for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the Affected Party will be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, specific performance, and an equitable accounting of any earnings, profits or benefits arising out of any such breach. Nothing in this Section 10.4 (Reasonable Restrictions) is intended or will be construed to limit in any way either Party’s rights to equitable relief or any other remedy for breach of this or any other provision of this Agreement.

94








(Representations, Warranties and Covenants) to be true in any material respect, (iii) the negligence or willful misconduct of KKC’s Sales Representatives or Medical Liaisons in connection with the activities under Section 6.4 (Co-Promotion Activities), (iv) prior to the Manufacturing Transfer, any product liability claims to the extent arising from the failure by KKC, its Affiliates or contractors in connection with the Manufacture of the Product, or (v) KKC’s or its Affiliates’ Development, Commercialization or Manufacture of the Product prior to or after the Effective Date.  The indemnification obligations under this Section 14.1 exclude Losses to the extent they arise from (i), (ii) or (iii) below in Section 14.2 (Indemnity by Amgen) or are subject to a right of indemnification under the Supply Agreement.
Section14.2Indemnity by Amgen. Amgen will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless KKC, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, “KKC Indemnitees”), at Amgen’s cost and expense, from and against any and all Losses arising out of any Third Party Claims brought against any KKC Indemnitee to the extent such Losses result from: (i) the negligence or willful misconduct of Amgen or its Affiliates (or any employees, agents or representatives of any of them) in performing under this Agreement, (ii) a breach by Amgen of Applicable Law or this Agreement, including the failure of Amgen’s representations or warranties in Article XIII (Representations, Warranties and Covenants) to be true in any material respect or (iii) Amgen’s or its Affiliates’ Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of, or conduct of Medical Affairs Activities with respect to, the Product.  The indemnification obligations under this Section 14.2 exclude Losses to the extent they arise from (i) through (v)) above in Section 14.1 (Indemnity by KKC) or are subject to a right of indemnification under the Supply Agreement.
Section14.3Claim for Indemnification. Whenever any Third Party Claim or Loss arises for which a KKC Indemnitee or an Amgen Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”) may seek indemnification under this Article XIV, the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Third Party Claim or Loss; provided that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party will have exclusive control of the defense and settlement of all Third Party Claims for which it is responsible for indemnification and will assume defense thereof at its own expense promptly upon notice of such Third Party Claim. In no event will the Indemnifying Party settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement: (i) includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party from liability with respect to the Third Party Claim (including any cost sharing under this Agreement), and (ii) does not include any admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or a stipulation that any intellectual property or proprietary right of the Indemnified Party is invalid or unenforceable; provided that in the event consent is required by the Indemnifying Party for a settlement such consent shall not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event of a disagreement regarding such settlement, such matter shall be escalated to the JSC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be prohibited from entering into a settlement that involves one or more countries in addition to Amgen Territory so long as such settlement does not result in any liability or admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or a stipulation that any 
95








intellectual property or proprietary right of the Indemnified Party is invalid or unenforceable. The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and to control its own defense of the applicable Third Party Claim if: (i) there are or may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable. For the avoidance of doubt, any Third Party Claims or Losses, to the extent indemnifiable pursuant to this Section 14.3, shall be excluded from the definition of “Commercialization and Related Costs.”
Section14.4Defense of Third Party Claims.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.3 (Defense and Settlement of Third Party Claims) and Section 14.3 (Claim for Indemnification), each Party (such Party referred to as the “Defending Party”) will have the sole right, but not the obligation, to defend against any Third Party Claims made against it with respect to its activities hereunder.  Each Party will notify the other Party (the “Assisting Party”) as promptly as practicable if any such Third Party Claim is commenced or threatened against it.  The Assisting Party will reasonably assist the Defending Party and cooperate in any such litigation at Defending Party’s reasonable request. Without limiting the foregoing, the Defending Party will keep the Assisting Party advised of all material communications and actual and prospective filings or submissions regarding such action, and will provide the Assisting Party copies of and an opportunity to review and comment on any such communications, filings and submissions; provided that each Party will have the right to redact from any information disclosed to the other hereunder any information relating to a product other than the Product or relating to a device used in connection with, or the manufacture of, the Product. The Defending Party will control the defense and settlement of Third Party Claims, at the Defending Party’s expense. The Defending Party will not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, unless such settlement: (i) includes a complete release of the Assisting Party from liability with respect to the Third Party Claim (including any cost sharing under this Agreement), and (ii) does not include any admission of wrongdoing by the Assisting Party; provided that in the event consent is required by the other Party for a settlement such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event of a disagreement regarding such settlement, such matter shall be escalated to the JSC. In the event that a Third Party Claim is brought against both of the Parties (a “Joint Claim”), then the Parties will determine whether to defend against such Joint Claim, which of the Parties should be the Defending Party or whether the Parties should jointly control such defense and the strategy for such defense. This Section 14.4 will not apply to employment or similar personnel-related claims.
Section14.5Insurance. Each of the Parties will, at their own respective expense (and not subject to cost sharing hereunder) procure and maintain during the Term, insurance policies adequate to cover their obligations hereunder and consistent with the normal business practices of prudent pharmaceutical companies of similar size and scope (or reasonable self-insurance sufficient to provide materially the same level and type of protection). Such insurance will not create a limit to either Party’s liability hereunder.

Section16.2Non-Solicitation of Employees.  After the Effective Date, during the Term and for a period of [***] year after the Term, each Party agrees that neither it nor any of its divisions, operating groups or Affiliates shall recruit, solicit or induce any employee of the other Party or its Affiliates directly or indirectly involved in the activities conducted pursuant to this Agreement to terminate his or her employment with such other Party and become employed by or consult for such Party, whether or not such employee is a full-time employee of such other Party, and whether or not such employment is pursuant to a written agreement or is at-will.

If the Parties are unable to so negotiate a modification 
100








within [***] days of delivery of the notice regarding such violation, then either Party may elect to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other.
Section16.4Change in Applicable Law. If any change in Applicable Law enacted after the Execution Date could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of either Party to carry out its obligations, or receive the benefits under, this Agreement, such Party, upon written notice to the other Party (which notice may be given within [***] following enactment of such change in Applicable Law, whether or not such change is effective on the date of such enactment or is effective at a later date), may request renegotiation of this Agreement. Such renegotiation will be undertaken in good faith.
Section16.5Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. 
16.5.1This Agreement and its effect are subject to and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to its conflicts of laws, except as to any issue which depends upon the validity, scope or enforceability of any Patent, which issue shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the country in which such patent was issued.
16.5.2Subject to Section 16.5.3 below, any dispute, controversy or claim arising under, out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement (and including the applicability of this Section 16.5 to any such dispute, controversy or claim), but excluding any dispute, controversy or claim subject to Section 2.2.5(b) (JSC Deadlocks) or Section 8.13 (Development and Commercialization Budget Deadlocks) (each a “Dispute”), shall be referred to and finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in effect at the time of submitting for arbitration, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause:

(d)The costs of the Tribunal shall be paid by the non-prevailing Party.
(e)Neither Party or its Affiliates nor any arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the applicable parties, unless and only to the extent such disclosure is necessary to confirm, vacate or enforce the award or is otherwise required by Applicable Law.
101








(f)The Tribunal shall not have the power to grant any award or remedy other than such awards or remedies that are available under the governing law set forth in Section 16.5.1.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 16.5 a Party or its Affiliate may seek interim or provisional relief or measures in any applicable courts and tribunals that may be necessary to protect the rights of a Party or its Affiliate pending the establishment of the Tribunal or pending the Tribunal’s determination of the merits of the controversy.
16.5.3Any Dispute shall first be referred to the Alliance Managers for each of the Parties to facilitate and assist resolution of such Dispute, including scheduling an initial meeting between their respective Designated Officers for attempted resolution within [***] Business Days after such referral if such matter had not previously been reviewed by the Designated Officers under Section 2.2.5(b) (JSC Deadlocks).  If such Dispute is not resolved within [***] days after such referral to the Alliance Managers and, if applicable, the meeting between the Designated Officers, then either Amgen or KKC may commence arbitration under Section 16.5 (Governing Law; Dispute Resolution).

Section16.9Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for delay or failure in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder (other than the payment of money) to the extent such delay or failure is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, fires, floods, earthquakes, labor strikes, hostilities, acts of war, terrorism, civil unrest, national emergencies, pandemics or epidemics (each, a “Force Majeure”); provided that the affected Party promptly notifies the other Party in writing (and continues to provide monthly status updates to the other Party for the duration of the effect); and provided further that the affected Party uses its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and to mitigate the effect of such occurrence, and will continue performance with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed.

Any such notice will be deemed given on the date delivered. A Party may add, delete (so long as at least one person is remaining), or change the person or address to which notices should be sent at any time upon written notice delivered to the other Party in accordance with this Section 16.12.
Section16.14Relationship of the Parties. Each Party is an independent contractor under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein will be deemed, for the purpose of any Applicable Law, to create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties or any of their agents or employees, or any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party. The Parties will operate their own businesses separately and independently and they will hold themselves out as, act as, and constitute independent contractors in all respects and not as principal and agent, partners or joint venturers. Neither Party will have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever. Neither Party shall make any filing or initiate any communication with a Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with this Section 16.14 and each Party shall notify the other Party within [***] days of receiving any written communication from a Governmental Authority that asserts a position that is inconsistent with this Section 16.14.
Section16.15Severability. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Parties waive any provision of Applicable Law that would render any provision in this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in any respect or to any extent, then in such respect and to such extent such provision will be given no effect by the Parties and will not form part of this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and the Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a provision in replacement of the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is consistent with Applicable Law and achieves, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the Parties.

Section16.17Waivers and Modifications. The failure of any Party to insist on the performance of any obligation hereunder will not be deemed to be a waiver of such obligation. Waiver of any breach of any provision hereof will not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or any other provision on such occasion or any other occasion. No waiver, modification, release or amendment of any right or obligation under or provision of this Agreement will be valid or effective unless in writing and signed by all Parties hereto.
