Plan.


 


(a)                                  Scope.
All  Development of Collaboration Products
shall be conducted pursuant to a Collaboration Product specific, multi-year,
global development plan and budget (in each case, a “Development
Plan”), which shall set forth all anticipated Development activities
and timelines, allocate responsibility for carrying out such activities between

responsibility for developing and implementing each such Development Plan shall
reside with the Responsible Development Party for its respective Collaboration
Product. The non-Responsible Development Party will have the right to consent
to any Development activities assigned to such Party under the terms of a
Development Plan. The initial draft Development Plans, including the Initial
Development Program Budget, for the Existing Products are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3.
The Parties intend that the draft Development Plans attached in Exhibit 3.3
will serve as the Development Plans until first Development Plans are prepared
and approved pursuant to Section 3.3(b).

Responsible Development Party will also prepare a draft of an Annual
Workplan/Budget for [****] after consultation with the relevant JDC, specifying
in detail the Development activities to be performed during the year,
designation of which Party is responsible for each task, staffing levels (which
levels shall be reasonably necessary for the attainment of the Development
goals, as applicable), any approved use of Third Party contractors required to
carry out such activities, a budget setting forth the estimated expenditures
required to carry out such activities and a timeline for completion of such
activities. Such draft will be prepared as soon as practicable following the
Effective Date.


 


(c)                                  Yearly
Updates and Subsequent Annual Workplan/Budget. The Responsible Development
Party shall, on an annual basis, update the Development Plan to reflect any
changes necessary given the progress and the results of the Development work as
of such date or any change in strategy, timelines, or long range plans going
forward. In addition, prior to the start of each year, the Responsible
Development Party shall prepare an Annual Workplan/Budget which shall specify
in detail the Development activities to be performed during such year,
designation of which Party is responsible for each task, staffing levels (which
levels shall be reasonably necessary for the attainment of the Development
goals, as applicable), any approved use of Third Party contractors required to
carry out such activities, a budget setting forth the estimated expenditures
required to carry out such activities, a timeline for completion of such
activities and annual production requirements, as specified in Section 8.2.
Each update to the Development Plan and adoption of each Annual
Work-plan/Budget under this paragraph and any modifications and updates under paragraph
(d) below shall automatically be deemed to constitute an amendment to the
Development Plans upon JSC approval and ratification of the meeting minutes
related thereto, and shall not constitute an obligation of either Party until
such approval and ratification. The schedule for yearly updates to the
Development Plan and the drafting and approval of each Annual Workplan/Budget
commencing with the calendar year [****], shall occur no later than the dates

Property. The Parties intend not to knowingly introduce to any
Collaboration Product any Technology that is not Controlled by a Party, except
with the prior approval of the JPC and the JSC. If the JSC in consultation with
the JPC determines that a license to certain Third Party technology is
reasonably necessary to advance the successful Development of a Collaboration
Product, then the JSC shall [****]. Upon approval of the terms of such Third

that become due pursuant to a Third Party License agreement executed pursuant
to this Section 3.7(b) will, during the course of Development of the
applicable Collaboration Products, be treated as [****].

as the primary point of
contact with the applicable Third Party sublicensee following the execution of
the license agreement, provided that the JSC may condition approval of such
sublicense upon submission of the final agreement with the Third Party to the
JSC for final approval. The parties acknowledge that any grant of rights to a
distributor shall not constitute a license of Development or Commercialization
rights hereunder.


 


3.8                               [****].
If, after the Effective Date,  [****]. If the
Parties fail to agree on the payment and other terms under which such [****]

Negotiation Period, then such [****] shall not be included within the scope of
this Agreement and [****] shall have no further obligation to [****] in respect
of such rights except as set forth in this Section 3.8. If the Parties
were unable to execute an agreement prior to the termination or expiration of
the Negotiation Period, [****] will not, for a period of [****] from the
termination or expiration of the Negotiation Period, enter into a license or
other agreement with a Third Party providing for the development or
commercialization of such [****] on terms which are in the aggregate less
favorable to [****] than the last bona fide offer made in writing by [****] to [****]
without first offering to [****] for a period of [****] the right to include
the [****] within the scope of this Agreement upon such alternative terms.

advise and consult with PDL with respect to any significant issues or questions
raised by any regulatory authorities in the ROW Territory with respect to a
Royalty Product that Biogen Idec believes would have an adverse impact on the
corresponding Collaboration  Product in

3.10                        Consideration
of Future Products and Additional Indications or New Formulations of
Collaboration Products; Scope and Exclusivity


 


(a)                                  Future
Products Brought to Joint Steering Committee


 


(i)                                    From
time to time during the Term, the JSC shall consider proposals that the Parties
jointly Develop and Commercialize any (A) new Product as a Future Product
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (B) additional Indication
for an existing Collaboration Product; or (C) new formulation of an
existing Collaboration Product.


 


(ii)                                Either
Party may initiate the foregoing proposal at any time during the Term. In
addition, the Parties must initiate a proposal with respect to a Product under
the circumstances discussed below. A Party initiating a proposal under this Section 3.10
shall be deemed a “Proposing Party.”


 


(1)                                 A
Party must bring a proposal to the JSC that the Parties Collaborate on [****]
at the following times:


 


(a)                                  With
respect to a [****], prior to negotiation of such license; or


 


(b)                                  With
respect to all other Products that are [****], after the Proposing Party has
performed Development on such Product, [****];


 


(2)                                 PDL
must [****] at the following times:


 


(a)                                  With
respect to a [****]; or


 


(b)                                  With
respect to all other Products that are [****], after PDL has performed
Development on such Product, [****];


 


(b)                                  Consequences
of JSC Consideration of Future Products and Additional Indications or New Formulations
of Collaboration Products


 


(i)                                    Full
Approval. If the JSC approves the addition of a new Product as a Future
Product or an additional Indication for an existing Collaboration Product or a
new formulation of an existing Collaboration Product, then such Product

shall be a Collaboration
Product and the JSC shall appoint a Responsible Development Party that shall
create a new Development Plan for such Collaboration Product or update the
applicable Development Plan to include the Development activities to be
performed by the Parties in the case of an additional Indication for or new
formulation of an existing Collaboration Product. The JSC will take into
consideration a Party’s current abilities, expertise and infrastructure when
appointing new Responsible Development Parties and will make such appointments
accordingly. The Responsible Development Party for each such Collaboration
Product shall implement such Development activities as contemplated by this Article 3.
Any such Development Plan or update shall be prepared and approved in
accordance with the provisions of Articles 2 and 3.


 


(ii)                                Partial
Approval. If, after a proposal is made under Section 3.10(a), the JSC
does not approve the addition of a new Product as a Future Product or an
additional Indication for an existing Collaboration Product or a new
formulation of an existing Collaboration Product, but determines that such
Product or additional Indication or formulation should be subject to further
evaluation then such Product or additional Indication or formulation shall be subject
to this Section 3.10(b)(ii). At the request of the Proposing Party, the
JSC shall develop a proposed work plan, which shall include specific goals
(such as a clinical trial, with primary endpoints) for such Product or
additional Indication or formulation and the Proposing Party shall provide all
information reasonably requested by the JSC that would be material to making a
determination as to whether such proposed work plan should be approved and to
the appropriateness of the proposed goals. If the JSC agrees that if the
specific goals set forth in work plan are met, the Indication, formulation or
new Product would become a Collaboration Product, then the following shall
apply:


 


(1)                                 The
Proposing Party shall have the right to undertake the work specified in the
work plan at its own expense;


 


(2)                                 If
the Proposing Party carries out the work plan and meets all of the JSC-approved
specific goals, then


 


(a)                                  the
other Party shall reimburse the Proposing Party an amount equal to [****] of
the Development Expenses related to such trial that such Party would have
otherwise been responsible for if the JSC had approved such trial as part of
the Development Plan,  and


 


(b)                                  the
formulation, Indication or new Product shall be developed jointly by the
Parties and the JSC shall take the actions described in Section 3.10(b) in
respect of such new Collaboration Product or additional Indication or new
formulation of an existing Collaboration Product.

32

















 


(3)                                 If
the JSC-approved specific goals are not met, the Proposing Party shall be
solely responsible for all related costs without the right of reimbursement
from the other Party and neither Party will be allowed to continue development
except in the following circumstances:


 


(a)                                  If
[****] is the Proposing Party, it may [****];


 


(b)                                  If
[****] is the Proposing Party [****] it may [****].


 


For purposes of clarity,
the Parties agree that if the JSC is unable to agree on the specific goals for
the foregoing work plan or is unable to agree that if the work plan meets its
goals the Parties would jointly Develop the new product as a Future Product or
an additional clinical indication for an existing Collaboration Product or a
new formulation of an existing Collaboration Product, such disagreement shall
not be subject to dispute resolution hereunder and shall be considered final.


 


(iii)                            No
Approval. If, after a proposal is made under Section 3.10(a), the JSC
does not approve the addition of a new Product as a Future Product or an
additional Indication for an existing Collaboration Product or a new
formulation of an existing Collaboration Product, and does not determine that
such Product or additional Indication or formulation should be subject to
further evaluation, [****] except in the following circumstances, and provided
that the Proposing Party did not block the approval of any such proposal:


 


(1)                                 If
[****] is the Proposing Party, it may [****];


 


(2)                                 If
[****] is the Proposing Party [****], it may [****].


 


Any such Product which is permitted to be pursued
outside the Collaboration shall not be subject to the terms, obligations,
rights and responsibilities in this Agreement.


 


(c)                                  Lapse
of Obligations [****]. The obligations to propose [****] under this Section 3.10
shall lapse as to any [****].


 


3.11                        Transfer
of Materials. During the Term, the Parties anticipate that each Party will
transfer certain of its proprietary tangible research materials to the other
Party. Each Party agrees during the Term that it will use such materials of the
other Party only for the purposes set forth in this Agreement, and will not
transfer such materials to any Third Party, except in compliance with Section 14.1
and Section 14.2 of this Agreement. Each Party shall have the right to use
proprietary tangible research materials provided

during the Term and in furtherance of the purposes set forth in this Agreement,
solely for the purposes hereunder. Such proprietary materials received from the
other Party which are directly related to Collaboration Products may be
transferred to Third Parties only with consent of the JDC and JPC, subject to the
form of material transfer agreements or collaboration agreements, as
applicable, covering such materials, such form agreements to be drafted and
agreed upon by the JPC.

agree that they will include such opt out points in the Development Plans for
other Collaboration Products at the time of preparation thereof.


 


(iii)                            If
a Party elects to opt out of an Indication for a Collaboration Product, it
shall automatically be deemed to have opted out of all other Indications for
which that Collaboration Product would be marketed to the same Physician Group
(collectively the “Opt Out Indications”)
and if a Party opts out of an oncology Indication it shall be deemed to have
opted out of all oncology Indications.


 


(iv)                               If

and may not be made until [****] following the [****]. A party may not opt out
of Commercialization of a Collaboration Product if the opt out would result in
a higher profit to the Party electing to opt-out, based on a comparison of the
royalty payments and Collaboration Product Profit payments that such Party
would have received in the four full calendar quarters prior to the election.


 


(v)                                   Neither
Party can elect to opt out of Development or Commercialization with respect to
a Product if such Party has received notice pursuant to Section 16.2 that
it is in material breach of this Agreement with respect to such Product and it
has not cured such breach or resolved in its favor any dispute regarding
whether there was a breach or whether such breach was cured.


 


(c)                                  Timing.
Subject to the limitations in Section 4.1(b) a Party may exercise its
opt out right with respect to Development of a particular Collaboration Product
or an Opt Out Indication(s) of a particular Collaboration Product at the
decision points described in Section 4.1(b). The Non-Developing Party
shall provide written notice to the other Party of its decision to exercise
such right (the “Opt Out Notice”) during the time

(d)                                  Effects
of Exercise. Effective upon timely delivery of an Opt Out Notice, (i) the
Party that is not the Non-Developing Party will be deemed the “Independent Development Party” with respect to the

Non-Developing Party will be deemed the “Non-Developing Party”
with respect to the applicable Independent Product or Independent Indication
and responsibility shall be as set forth in Section 4.3, (iii) if
such exercise was made with respect to [****], such Collaboration Product will
become an Independent Product in [****], and (iv) if such exercise was
made with respect to [****]. In any event, the further Development of such [****]

respect to a Collaboration Product or one or more Indications of a
Collaboration Product, the applicable Development Plan or Commercialization
Plan, as the case may be, for such Collaboration Product or Indication, as the
case may be, shall automatically be amended to provide that the Parties shall
carry out and share the costs with respect to only those particular Development
or Commercialization activities under the applicable Development Plan or
Commercialization Plan, respectively, that have commenced on or before the date
of such Opt Out Notice. By way of example, an activity for purposes of this Section would
include a clinical trial that has commenced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Non-Developing Party shall transfer responsibility for such ongoing activities
to the Independent Development Party as of the date of such Opt Out Notice or
as soon as reasonably practicable after such date.

applicable Manufacturing process, at the Independent Development Party’s
request, and the Independent Development Party has validated such process in
its or its CMO’s designated facility and has all necessary regulatory approvals
to Manufacture and such Manufacture has commenced. The Non-Developing Party

the applicable Manufacturing process to the Independent Development Party or
its designated CMO as soon as practicable, but in no event more than [****]
after the Opt Out Notice is delivered The Non-Developing Party shall supply

Non-Developing Party’s opt out rights until the expiration of such party’s opt
in rights or longer, as appropriate), as the case may be, and shall notify the
appropriate Regulatory Authorities and take any other action reasonably

Non-Developing Party) or the granting of a sublicense or equivalent right of
access (and partial release of the Non-Developing Party) to the Independent
Development Party, whether through novation or sublicensing of such contracts

Non-Developing Party and any Third Party that are necessary for Independent
Development Party to continue with Development or Commercialization of such
Collaboration Product or Indication, as the case may be, and the Independent
Development Party shall reasonably cooperate in connection therewith. If such
assignment, novation or sublicense is not permissible, the Parties shall
discuss in good faith potential alternatives that would enable the Independent
Development Party to exercise the rights and obligations of the Non-Developing
Party under such contracts with respect to such Independent Product while
minimizing the continuing obligations of the Non-Developing Party.


 


(h)                                 Technical
Assistance. During the period commencing with delivery of an Opt Out Notice

(j)                                    Transfer of Trademarks. If the
Non-Developing Party owns the Product Trademarks (as defined in Section 12.13(a))
relating to the Independent Product (or Independent Indication, if there are
Product Trademarks that relate specifically to such Indication), ownership of
such Product Trademarks shall be transferred to the Independent Development
Party in the Territories as to which the opt out occurs.


 


4.4                               Rights
to Opt In to Independent Indication During Development.


 


(a)                                  General.
Subject to the terms of this Section 4.4, a Non-Developing Party will have
the option to opt-in to the independent development of an Independent
Indication on a one-time basis, exercisable by providing a notice in writing to
the Independent Development Party within (i) the [****] (the “Opt In Trigger”)  [****]
or (ii) the [****]. Within [****] of receipt of such written notice, the
Independent Development Party shall provide to the Non-Developing Party a
package of data and other information concerning the Independent Indication
reasonably necessary to permit the Non-Developing Party to make an informed
decision on its desire to opt in to Development and Commercialization in the
manner set forth in this Agreement (the “Data Package”).
Following receipt of the Data Package, the Non-Developing Party shall have [****]
within which to elect to opt-in. Any such election shall become effective upon
receipt by the Independent Development Party of a final written determination
by the Non-Developing Party stating its decision to opt-in. Failure to deliver
timely notice of an intent to opt-in shall be conclusively deemed to be a
waiver of such rights.


 


(b)                                  Limitations.
A Non-Developing Party shall not have the right to opt in to the Commercialization
of a Collaboration Product in the event that it delivers an Opt Out Notice for
such Product at any time following final regulatory approval for the marketing
of such Collaboration Product anywhere in the Territory.


 


(c)                                  Expense
Reimbursement. Upon exercise of an opt in right as described in this Section 4.4,
the Non-Developing Party shall reimburse the Independent Development Party for [****]
of that portion of the Development Expenses that would have been incurred by
the Non-Developing Party, had such Party not opted out, during the period in
which such Party had opted out.


 


(d)                                  Effects
of Opt In. Upon exercise of an opt in right and payment of all amounts due
under subsection (c) above, the Independent Indication shall cease
being an Independent Indication and will automatically return to the scope of
the Collaboration. Thereafter, the Parties shall continue Development and
Commercialization of such Indication jointly as described in this Agreement;
provided, that for the [****] following the exercise of an opt in right, the
Party that had been the

Products.


 


(a)                                  Effective
upon the exercise of a Party’s opt-out right with respect to a Collaboration
Product, either on a Product or Indication basis, the applicable Product will
be a Royalty Product. The Independent Development Party will pay the Opt-Out
Party the royalty payments described in Section 9.5 for such Royalty
Product.


 


(b)                                  With

Collaboration Products under this Agreement is as follows:


 


(a)                                  [****]
will be the Responsible Regulatory Party in the [****] and the [****] for all
Collaboration Products; and


 


(b)                                  [****]
will be the Responsible Regulatory Party in the [****] for all Collaboration
Products during the Development of such Collaboration Product. At the time of
receipt of first Regulatory Approval for the [****].


 


5.2                               Regulatory
Filings for Collaboration Products.


 


(a)                                  The
Responsible Regulatory Party identified in Section 5.1 above shall
primarily be responsible for preparing and filing all Regulatory Filings and
seeking all Regulatory Approvals in the relevant territory, including preparing
all reports necessary as part of a Drug Approval Application. All Regulatory
Filings for all Collaboration Products shall be filed in the name of the
Responsible Regulatory Party for a particular Territory. The Parties anticipate
that Regulatory Filings for the EU and North America Territories will be based
on a common set of technical documents. Such

40

















 


common set of technical
documents shall be prepared by the Responsible Development Party (or
collectively by both of the Responsible Development Parties where there are two
for a Collaboration Product). The Responsible Regulatory Party and the
Responsible Commercialization Party (to the extent they are different Parties)
shall jointly prepare all Regulatory Filings. All reasonable comments of the
Responsible Commercialization Party for an applicable Collaboration Product
shall be incorporated into such Regulatory Filing for any Collaboration Product.
The Responsible Regulatory Party shall, at all times, consult with the
Responsible Commercialization Party on all communications and other dealings
with the regulatory agencies relating to such Collaboration Product in the
applicable territory. However, the Manufacturing Party shall be solely
responsible for all communications and other dealings with the regulatory
agencies throughout the world pertaining to the Manufacture of such
Collaboration Products. The Responsible Regulatory Party and the Responsible
Commercialization Party shall jointly develop and implement procedures for
drafting and review of Regulatory Filings for the relevant Collaboration
Products in the applicable territory, which procedures shall provide for
sufficient time for the Responsible Commercialization Party to provide comments
to such Regulatory Filings. If the Parties are unable to resolve any disputes
related to such Regulatory Filings content or strategy, such disputes shall be
resolved as set forth in Article 2 hereof. In addition to the right to
cross-reference set forth in Section 3.9(c), the other Party shall have
the right of cross-reference to all such Regulatory Filings or Regulatory
Approvals obtained hereunder for purposes of Collaboration Products.


 


(b)                                  The
Responsible Regulatory Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy
(which may be wholly or partly in electronic form) of all Regulatory Filings
with respect to such Collaboration Products that it makes hereunder. The
Responsible Regulatory Party will provide the other Party with reasonable
advance notice of any meeting with any regulatory agency relating to
Development, Commercialization and/or any Drug Approval Application in the
relevant territory, and the other Party shall have the right to observe and, if
the Parties mutually agree in advance or if such Party is the Responsible
Commercialization Party, participate in any such meeting. The Responsible
Regulatory Party also shall promptly furnish the other Party with copies of all
material correspondence or minutes of material meetings with any regulatory
agency relating to Development, Regulatory Filings and/or a Drug Approval
Application in the relevant territory. As between the Parties, the Responsible
Regulatory Party shall be the initial legal and beneficial owner of all
Regulatory Filings and related approvals in the relevant territory for such
Collaboration Product. The Responsible Regulatory Party shall assign all
Regulatory Filings in the North American Territory to the Responsible
Commercialization Party promptly following filing of the NDA (or its foreign
equivalent). No such assignment shall take place in the ROW Territory.


 


(c)                                  The
Manufacturing Party shall provide the Responsible Commercialization Party (if a
different Party) with reasonable advance notice of any scheduled regulatory
inspection of the Manufacturing Party’s Manufacturing facilities for a Product.
The Manufacturing Party shall control all interactions with regulatory

authorities with respect
to such inspection. The  other Party if
applicable, shall have the right to be present, but not participate, during
such inspection.


 


5.3                               Safety
Data. [****] will ensure that [****] has complete access to any and all
safety data regarding the [****] or any [****] thereof. [****] will ensure that

the recognized holder of the global safety database for such Product, which
will be searched to provide answers to safety queries, for signal evaluation,
for the preparation of analyses of similar events and for the preparation of
periodic safety update reports.


 


5.4                               Adverse
Event Reporting. Each Party shall notify the other of all information
coming into its possession concerning any and all side effects, injury,
toxicity, pregnancy or sensitivity event associated with commercial or clinical
uses, studies, investigations or tests with any of the Collaboration Products
or Royalty Products, throughout the world, whether or not determined to be
attributable to such Products (“Adverse Event Reports”). 
The Parties shall each identify a person to coordinate the exchange of Adverse
Event Reports (“Report Coordinators”) so as to
enable timely reporting of such Adverse Event Reports to appropriate
governmental and regulatory authorities consistent with all laws, rules and
regulations. Within a reasonable time after  the Effective
Date, the Parties shall agree in writing on formal procedures for such exchange
in a separate pharmacovigilance agreement. Provided that [****] is under a
similar obligation under the [****] Agreements, the Parties agree to engage in
good faith negotiations regarding a three-party pharmacovigilance agreement. The
Parties acknowledge and agree that such procedures, as well as the Parties’
exchange of Adverse Event Reports in general, must not be in contravention with
the [****] Agreements relating to safety issues involving the [****] that is a
Collaboration Product, or a Royalty Product.


 


5.5                               Copies

(iv) assumptions
regarding product profile, (v) sales force size, and (vi) Promotional
efforts. Any Commercialization Plan, together with any updates thereto, shall
be prepared and approved as follows:


 


(i)                                    The
Responsible Commercialization Party with strategic guidance from the JSC shall
prepare the initial Commercialization Plan for a Collaboration Product and
submit such plan to the JCC for recommendation for approval and, following such
recommendation, to the JSC for its review and approval; provided that the JCC
must recommend and the JSC must approve the Commercialization Plan if it is
consistent with the then-current Strategic Plan and Approved Budget for that
year. The Parties agree and acknowledge that any such Commercialization Plan
will reasonably allocate between the Parties the performance of any
Post-Approval Clinical Trials for Collaboration Products in the North American
Territory, giving equal consideration to each Party’s abilities when making such
allocation.


 


(ii)                                The
Responsible Commercialization Party will, from time to time, prepare and submit
an update to each Commercialization Plan for its territory for a Collaboration
Product as necessary to reflect changes in the progress, strategy, or costs of
Commercialization of such Collaboration Product, but in no event more
frequently than quarterly.


 


(iii)                            the
Responsible Commercialization Party for a Collaboration Product will prepare
and submit an update to the applicable Commercialization Plan for its territory
on an annual basis thereafter until the Parties cease Commercializing the
applicable Collaboration Product.


 


(iv)                               the
Responsible Commercialization Party will lead the implementation of the
Commercialization Plan in accordance with the allocation of responsibilities
set forth therein.


 


Once approved by the JSC,
a Commercialization Plan shall become effective and supersede any previous
Commercialization Plan, if any, as of the date of such approval. Unless the
Parties otherwise agree, in the event that a Commercialization Plan is
inconsistent with or contradicts the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall prevail.


 


(b)                                  Commercialization
Plans for Additional Collaboration Products. Promptly following the JSC’s
request for a Commercialization Plan for a particular Collaboration Product,
the Responsible Commercialization Party shall create an initial
Commercialization Plan for such Collaboration Product. Such Commercialization
Plan shall be approved as described in this Section 6.1.


 


6.2                               Commercialization
Reports. The Responsible Commercialization Party will keep the JCC fully
informed regarding the progress and results of its Commercialization activities
under this Agreement.

of Conduct.


 


(a)                                  Each
Party shall perform, or shall ensure that its Affiliates and permitted
sublicensees and Third Party contractors perform, all Commercialization
activities assigned to it in a good scientific and ethical business manner and
in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Parties shall use Diligent Efforts in Commercializing Collaboration Products.


 


(c)                                  Each
Party shall use Diligent Efforts to execute and carry out the activities
assigned to it in the Commercialization Plan within the associated annual
budget; provided that if a Party exceeds the associated annual budget by
greater than [****] without the prior approval of the JSC, any amount in excess
of such number shall not be considered expenses reimbursable hereunder and such
Party shall be solely responsible for payment of such excess.


 


6.4                               Sales
Force Training. The Responsible Commercialization Party shall develop and
conduct training programs for its sales representatives and for the other Party’s
sales representatives in the event such Party has exercised its Co-Promotion
Option hereunder, specifically relating to the Collaboration Products to be
Commercialized by such Party. Each Party agrees to utilize such training
programs on an ongoing basis to assure a consistent, focused promotional
strategy.


 


6.5                               Branding.
Each Product Commercialized under this Agreement shall be Commercialized
under and in connection with the trademarks and trade dress selected in
accordance with Section 12.13. To the extent that a Party is granted
rights under this Agreement to Commercialize a Product, it shall Commercialize
such Product solely under and in connection with the trademarks and trade dress
selected and approved pursuant to the terms of Section 12.13 (except for a
Party’s use of its house marks, which do not require such approval).

accordance with U.S.
GAAP, including handling inventory, receivables, managing relationships with
the trade, returns, reimbursements, and charge-backs, trade-customer complaints
and inquiries with respect to all other Collaboration Products.


 


(c)                                  For
clarity, each Party’s expenses in connection with the activities described in
this Section 6.7 will be included as Marketing Costs or Distribution
Costs, as appropriate.


 


6.8                               Special
Provisions Relating to Sales Tracking for [****].


 


(a)                                  The
Parties recognize that [****] marketed by [****] or its licensees for
indications in the [****] may nonetheless be sold in the [****], and [****]
marketed by [****] and [****] for indications in the [****] may nonetheless be
sold in the [****]  (collectively, “Cross-Field Sales”). In order to detect and limit these
Cross-Field Sales of such Collaboration Products, the Parties agree as follows:


 


(i)                                    If,
at any time following the receipt of Regulatory Approval in the [****] for an [****]
that is a Collaboration Product or Royalty Product (Collectively, “Collaborative Field Products”), a Party believes that either
(i) sales of such Collaborative Field Products are occurring or will occur
for uses both inside and outside the [****], or (ii) that sales by [****]
of a [****] licensed to it in the [****] by [****] (a “Non-Collaborative
Field Product”) are occurring in any Indication in which a
Collaboration Product or Royalty Product is marketed, then such Party may
provide notice to the other Party of its desire to track sales of the
Collaborative Field Products and the Non-Collaborative Field Products for the
relevant Indications in the relevant territory.


 


(ii)                                Upon
receipt of notice under Section 6.8(a)(i) [****] and [****] shall
meet and agree upon a method of tracking sales of each such product (“Sales Tracking Methodology”) for use in the relevant
Indications including (A) the acquisition of one or more prescription data
products or services (including, by way of example, IMS Xponent or DDD data) or
other relevant pharmaceutical sales tracking research services (including, for
example, use of random sampling, use of data regarding distribution channels as
a proxy for indication-specific sales and development of mathematical models
for approximating indication-specific sales) generally recognized in the
pharmaceutical industry as having a high degree of accuracy and reliability in
the tracking of sales of pharmaceutical products that have a similar nature as
and are prescribed by similar physicians as the relevant [****] in the [****]
and, if applicable, outside the [****] (the “Data Services”),
and (B) the methodology for applying any such resulting data and
information provided by such Data Services to determine the extent to which
sales of the relevant [****] are Cross-Field Sales in the relevant territory. At
the request of either Party, any meeting held under this Section 6.8(a) shall
include licensees of [****] to whom [****] has granted rights in the [****],
provided such licensee

46

















 


agrees to be bound to
confidentiality provisions similar to those contained in this Agreement.


 


(b)                                  If
[****] (as applicable) are unable to agree on a Sales Tracking Methodology
pursuant to Section 6.8(a), then the following default methodologies shall
apply:


 


(i)                                    With
respect to each of the U.S., United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, or Spain
(each a “Major Regulatory Jurisdiction”) in
which a Collaborative Field Product and a Non-Collaborative Field Product have
received Regulatory Approval and in which Data Services are available at a
reasonable cost (evaluated in light of the anticipated accuracy of such data
and anticipated magnitude of Cross-Field Sales in such country), sales in the
Field in such country and sales outside the Field in such country shall be
calculated for each Collaborative Field Product and each Non-Collaborative
Field Product based on the sales levels reported by the Data Services for such
country. For clarity, the sum of sales of a product in the Field and sales of
such product outside the Field (both as calculated for such country in
accordance with the preceding sentence) shall always be equal to the total
sales for such product in the relevant country.


 


(ii)                                With
respect to each country in which a Collaborative Field Product and a
Non-Collaborative Field Product have received Regulatory Approval and to which Section 6.8(b)(i) is
inapplicable, the percentage of sales of each Collaborative Field Product
attributable to use outside the Field and the percentage of sales of each
Non-Collaborative Field Product attributable to use in the Field shall be
calculated from total sales of such products based on the assumption that the
ratio of Cross-Field Sales to total sales in such country is equal to the ratio
of Cross-Field Sales to total sales calculated across all Major Regulatory
Jurisdictions in which Cross-Field Sales are evaluated pursuant to Section 6.8(b)(i).
If there are no Major Regulatory Jurisdictions in which Cross-Field Sales are
evaluated pursuant to Section 6.8(b)(i), then no Sales Tracking
Methodology shall apply unless and until the Parties agree on a Sales Tracking
Methodology pursuant to Section 6.8(a).


 


(c)                                  All
costs associated with the acquisition and application of such Data Services and
Sales Tracking Methodology shall be shared equally by the Parties and any
licensee of PDL participating in the negotiations contemplated by Section 6.8(a).
All such costs that are attributable to PDL and Biogen Idec shall be included
in the Operating Expenses for the applicable [****]. In addition, the Parties
shall also meet and confer with respect to: (A) how to account for
prescriptions to patients with multiple afflictions, both within and outside
the [****]; (B) the right for each Party to audit, on a periodic basis,
the application of the Data Services and Sales Tracking

47

















 


Methodology; and (C) a
mechanism for addressing prescriptions that are tracked back to sole source
purchasing agreements.


 


(d)                                  If
in the course of applying the foregoing Sales Tracking Methodology of the
Collaborative Field Product and Non-Collaborative Field Product pursuant to
this Section 6.8, or in the course of performing an audit of such
application by the other Party, a Party determines that Cross-Field Sales are
occurring at more than [****] or such [****] as may be agreed under the [****]
Agreements [****] (with written notice of such amount to be provided to [****]),
the Parties shall confer, together with the [****], regarding an appropriate
method either to curtail such Cross-Field Sales and to compensate any affected
Party (or affected [****]) for the economic effects thereof. [****] will ensure
that [****] is reimbursed for any such Cross-Field Sales as if such Cross-Field
Sales were included in Collaboration Product Profit. The Parties shall also negotiate
with each other and with such licensee in good faith (provided that such
licensee is bound by a substantially similar obligation) to reach an agreement
implementing a Sales Tracking Methodology that is as accurate as reasonably
possible given the then-available information and the costs associated
therewith.


 


(e)                                  In
the event of any unresolved issues, dispute or disagreement under this Section 6.8
the Parties will submit such dispute, issue or disagreement for resolution
pursuant to Article 17.


 


6.9                               Other

12.8                        Defense of Infringement
Actions.


 


(a)                                  If
PDL and/or Biogen Idec are defendant(s) named in a patent infringement suit
filed by a Third Party concerning the development, manufacture, production,

throughout the world. The Parties shall discuss such information and decide how
to handle such matter.


 


12.9                        Third
Party Intellectual Property.


 


(a)                                  In
the event that PDL or Biogen Idec (the “Acquiring Party”) proposes to
apply to a Collaboration Product Technology that the Acquiring Party obtained
from a Third Party that is not included automatically within the definition of
Biogen Idec Technology or PDL Technology prior to the Effective Date (and hence
included in the licenses granted by the Acquiring Party pursuant to Article 11)
or otherwise acquired by the Acquiring Party, the Acquiring Party shall
disclose the same to the Joint Steering Committee, including any royalty or
other payment obligations determined in accordance with United States GAAP that
would apply to the Collaboration Product as a result of the Development or
Commercialization of such

Collaboration Products
hereunder. The Joint Steering Committee shall determine, [****] whether or not
the Joint Steering Committee agrees that the intellectual property so acquired
should be applied to the Collaboration Products, and if the Joint Steering
Committee so determines, the agreement under which the Acquiring Party acquires
such intellectual property shall be a Third Party License for purposes of this
Agreement. To the extent the agreement is not so included within the Third
Party Licenses hereunder, the subject matter of such agreement shall not be
within the definition of PDL Technology or Biogen Idec Technology hereunder
(and therefore the licenses granted by the Acquiring Party pursuant to Article 11
shall not include such subject matter).


 


(b)                                  Manufacturing
Technology.


 


(i)                                    PDL-Lead
Manufacturer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Collaboration
Products or Royalty Products for which PDL is the Manufacturing Party under Article 8
above, PDL shall have the right to decide which Third Party Technology will be
used in such Manufacturing, and any agreement pursuant to which PDL acquired or
acquires such technology shall be deemed a Third Party License.


 


(ii)                                Biogen
Idec-Lead Manufacturer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to
Collaboration Products or Royalty Products for which Biogen Idec is the
Manufacturing Party under Article 8 above, Biogen Idec shall have the
right to decide which Third Party Technology will be used in such
Manufacturing, and any agreement pursuant to which Biogen Idec acquired or
acquires such technology shall be deemed a Third Party License.


 


(c)                                  Third
Party Licenses. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 12, the
rights and obligations of the Parties under this Article 12, with respect
to Patents licensed pursuant to a Third Party License, shall be subject to the
rights of the applicable Third Party licensor/licensee pursuant to such Third
Party License and the applicable Parties’ obligations to such Third Party
pursuant to such Third Party License. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Parties agree and acknowledge that the provisions set forth in this Article 12
shall be subject to the following Third Party License provisions (as such Third
Party Licenses and specific provisions may be amended from time to time upon
notice to and consent of the other Party, if required, pursuant to Section 11.5(c)(ii))

Rights licensed to it
pursuant to the following Third Party Licenses and therefore no portion of Article 12
shall be interpreted as granting Biogen Idec or the JPC or JSC rights to file,
prosecute (including interferences and oppositions), maintain, enforce or
defend such Patents or receive information or provide input with respect to
such Patent Rights:  [****]; [****]; [****]; [****];
and [****].


 


12.10                 Rights pursuant
to the [****] Agreements.


 


(a)                                  The
Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the [****] Agreements, [****] has certain
rights to file, prosecute (including interferences and oppositions), maintain,
enforce and defend certain PDL Patent Rights that are licensed by or to PDL
pursuant to the [****] Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
Biogen Idec’s, JPC’s and JSC’s rights pursuant to this Article 12 with
respect to such PDL Patent Rights are subject to such [****] rights to file,
prosecute, maintain, enforce and defend the certain PDL Patent Rights that are
licensed by or to PDL pursuant to [****] Agreement. For clarity, PDL shall not
be required pursuant to this Article 12 to provide Biogen Idec or the JPC
or JSC with any patent filing, prosecution (including interferences and
oppositions), maintenance, enforcement or defense associated-rights that
conflict with [****] rights under the [****] Agreements or that would
constitute a breach of PDL’s obligations to [****] under the [****] Agreements,
provided however, no additional rights shall accrue to Biogen Idec unless and
until Biogen Idec obtains a license pursuant to Section 3.8. The Parties
acknowledge that certain of Biogen Idec’s, JPC’s and JSC’s rights under this Article 12
that relate to PDL Patent Rights that are licensed by or to PDL pursuant to the
[****] Agreements. The Parties further acknowledge that such rights of Biogen
Idec, JPC or JSC derive solely from those rights retained by PDL under the [****]
Agreements.


 


(b)                                  PDL
hereby agrees and acknowledges that, notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement, Biogen Idec will not be obligated to pay any royalties due to [****]
pursuant to the [****] Agreements for sales of Collaboration or Royalty
Products, except as expressly stated in this Agreement.


 


12.11                 Patent Marking.
Each Party agrees to comply with the patent marking statutes in each country in
which Collaboration Products or Royalty Products are sold by such Party, its
Affiliates and/or sublicensees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the
launch of each Product, the JPC will formulate a marking strategy for such
Product in cooperation with qualified outside counsel and in cooperation with
the guidelines of the appropriate governmental agencies regulating the
Manufacture or sale of Products, including determining the appropriate patent
marking, if any, to be used with such Product.

12.12                 Limited Rights to
Humanization Technology Claims in Queen Patents. Nothing in this Article 12
shall be interpreted as granting Biogen Idec, the JPC or the JSC any rights
with respect to the filing, prosecution (including interferences and oppositions),
maintenance, enforcement or defense of primarily those claims in the Queen
Patents that are directed toward the humanization of antibodies or humanized
antibodies in general (as opposed to particular humanized antibodies or
humanized antibodies directed at a particular target). For example and without
limiting the foregoing, PDL shall not have any obligation to: (a) keep
Biogen Idec or the JPC advised of the status of communications, actual and
prospective filings or submissions primarily regarding such claims; (b) consult
with Biogen Idec or the JPC on matters that primarily relate to such claims; (c) give
Biogen Idec or the JPC access to or an opportunity to review and comment on any
portion of patent office or patent litigation communications, filings or
proposed submissions that pertain primarily to such claims; or (d) obtain

responsible for procurement and maintenance of trademark registrations for the
Product Trademarks throughout the Territory, except that the Responsible
Trademark Party may cease trademark registration procurement activities for any

offers the other Party the opportunity to assume such activities at its own
expense. All expenses incurred by the Responsible Trademark Party with respect
to the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of the
Product Trademarks for the Profit Sharing Territory shall be included in Other
Out-of-Pocket Costs and solely for the Royalty Territory shall be borne at the
Independent Development  Party’s sole
expense.


 


(d)                                  Use
of the Product Trademarks. To effectuate the purposes of this Agreement,
the Responsible Trademark Party shall grant to the other Party, a non-exclusive,
non-royalty bearing license (with the right to grant sublicenses) pursuant to a
separate agreement, to use each Product Trademark solely in connection with the
Commercialization of Products under this Agreement. The Party that is not the
Responsible Trademark Party, its Affiliates and its sublicensees will comply
with the Responsible Trademark Party’s then-current trademark and trade dress
guidelines for trademarks and trade dress and shall have the right to monitor
the quality of the Products on which a Product Trademark appears or which
incorporates a Product Trademark in the form of trade dress in accordance with
reasonable procedures to be agreed by the Parties. The Party that is not the
Responsible Trademark Party, its Affiliates and sublicensees shall use the
Product Trademarks only in connection with the Commercialization of Products
under this Agreement in the Territory in accordance with the licenses to be
granted herein. The Responsible Trademark Party, or the Party commercializing
an Independent Product or Royalty Product as the case may be, shall provide all
materials (including without limitation advertising or promotional materials)
that incorporate the Product Trademarks or a Party’s house marks to the
Responsible Trademark Party for prior review and approval, not to be
unreasonably withheld.


 


(e)                                  House
Marks. In the event that the Parties mutually agree to permit a Party to
use the house marks of the other Party in connection with the Commercialization
and/or Co-Promotion of Products under this Agreement, the Parties will
establish mutually acceptable terms for the usage of such house marks.


 


(f)                                    Acknowledgement
of Ownership Rights. Each Party acknowledges the sole ownership by the
other Party and validity of all trademarks, trade dress, logos and slogans
owned by the other Party and used or intended to be used on or in connection
with the Commercialization of a Product under this Agreement. Each Party agrees
that it will not at any time during or after the Term assert or claim any interest
in or do anything which may adversely affect the validity or enforceability of
any trademark, trade dress, logo or slogan owned by the other Party and used or
intended to be used on or in connection with Commercialization of a Product
under this Agreement. Neither Party will register, seek to register or cause to
be registered any

trademarks, trade dress,
logos or slogans owned by the other Party and used or intended to be used on or
in connection with the Commercialization of a Product under this Agreement or
any variation thereof, under any law providing for registration of trademarks,
service marks, trade names, fictitious names or similar laws, as an Internet
domain name, or in the name of a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or other entity, without the other Party’s prior written consent.


 


(g)                                 Use
of Trademark Designations. The TM designation may be used in conjunction
with each Product Trademark within the Territory. Once registrations issue, the
® designation may be used in connection with the Product Trademarks. An
appropriate statutory notice of trademark ownership shall be affixed to or
imprinted on any material wherever a Party’s house marks or Product Trademarks
are used. The Responsible Trademark Party’s ownership of the Product Trademarks
shall be identified on all materials on which they appear. The exact language
for identification of ownership shall be in accordance with branding and
implementation guidelines to be agreed on by the Parties.


 


(h)                                 Infringement
of Product Trademarks.


 


(i)                                    Procedure.
In the event that either Party becomes aware of (i) actual
infringement of a Product Trademark  in the
Territory; (ii) a mark or name confusingly similar to a Product Trademark
in the Territory; or (iii) any unfair trade practices, trade dress
imitation, passing off, or like offenses, in the Territory that relate to the
Product Trademarks, such Party shall promptly so notify the other Party in
writing. The Responsible Trademark Party shall have the right, but not the
obligation, at its sole cost and expense, to initiate, prosecute, and control
an infringement action or file any other appropriate action or claim related to
such infringement of the Product Trademark against any Third Party. If the
Responsible Trademark Party fails to bring any such infringement action within
a period of [****] after delivery of the notice set forth above, then the other
Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its sole cost and
expense, to initiate, prosecute, and control an infringement action or file any
other appropriate action or claim related to such infringement of the Product
Trademark against any Third Party. In either event, the Party not bringing any
such action (i) shall have the right (at its own expense) to participate
in such action and to be represented by counsel of its own choice, and (ii) agrees,
at the request and expense of the Party bringing such action, to be joined as a
Party to the suit and to provide reasonable assistance in any such action. The
Party controlling such action shall take all reasonable and appropriate steps
to protect, defend, and maintain the Product Trademarks for use by the Parties
and shall have the right to control settlement of such action; provided,
however, that no settlement shall be entered into without the written consent
of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld.

(ii)                                Costs.
The costs associated with such defense for the Profit Sharing Territory
shall be included in [****] as set forth in Exhibit C and the costs
associated solely with the Royalty Territory shall be borne by the Independent
Development Party. Any damages or monetary award recovered shall be allocated
as follows:  All cash amounts (plus the

Affiliates from a Third Party in connection with the final judgment, award or
settlement of such action (“Recoveries”) shall first be applied to
reimbursement of the unreimbursed legal fees and expenses of the Parties in
connection with such action, and then the remainder shall be [****].


 


12.14                 Third Party
Trademark Claims Based on Use of the Trademarks.


 


If a
claim is brought by a Third Party that a Party’s use of the Product Trademarks
infringes such Third Party’s trademarks, the Party against which (or against
whose Affiliate, as the case may be) the action is brought will give prompt
written notice to the other Party of such claim. The Responsible Trademark
Party shall defend any such claim and any resulting suit brought in the Territory
with respect to the use of the Product Trademark, provided the costs associated
with such defense for the Profit Share Territory shall be included in [****] as
set forth in Exhibit C and the costs associated solely with the Royalty
Territory shall be borne by the [****]. Any damages or monetary award recovered
shall be allocated as follows:  All cash
amounts (plus the fair market value of all non-cash consideration) received by
a Party or its Affiliates from a Third Party in connection with the final
judgment, award or settlement of such defense (“Recoveries”) shall first
be applied to reimbursement of the unreimbursed legal fees and expenses of the
Parties in connection with such defense, and then the remainder shall be [****],
except that [****]. The Responsible Trademark Party shall not settle any claim
or suit in a manner that would adversely affect the other Party without
obtaining the other Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

ARTICLE 14



CONFIDENTIALITY


 


14.1                        Generally.
During and for five (5) years after the Term of this Agreement, each
Party (i) shall maintain in confidence all Confidential Information of the
other Party; (ii) shall not use such Confidential Information for any
purpose except as permitted by this Agreement; and (iii) shall not
disclose such Confidential Information to anyone other than those of its
Affiliates, sublicensees, prospective sublicensees, employees, consultants,
agents or subcontractors who are bound by written obligations of nondisclosure
and non-use no less stringent than those set forth in this Article 14 and
to whom such disclosure is necessary in connection with such Party’s activities
as contemplated in this Agreement. Each Party shall ensure that such Party’s

The obligations of confidentiality, non-disclosure, and non-use set forth in Section 14.1
shall not apply to the extent the receiving Party (the


 


81

















 


“Recipient”)
can demonstrate that the disclosed information (i) was in the public

of confidentiality to the other Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, Recipient’s disclosure of Confidential Information shall not be
prohibited if such disclosure:  (a) is
in response to a valid order of a court or other governmental body, provided
that Recipient provides the other Party with prior written notice of such
disclosure in order to permit the other Party to seek a protective order or
other confidential treatment of such Confidential Information; or (b) is
otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, or rules of a
nationally recognized securities exchange.


 


14.3                        Publications.


 


(a)                                  Prior
to public disclosure or submission for publication of a proposed academic,
scientific or other publication or presentation that contains or references the
results of any scientific or clinical activity relating to any Development
Program or Collaboration Product, or any Patents or Know-How related thereto,
the Party disclosing or submitting such proposed publication (“Submitting Party”) shall send the other party (“Responding Party”) by expedited delivery a copy of the
proposed publication to be submitted and shall allow the Responding Party a
reasonable time period (but no less than forty-five (45) days from the date of
confirmed receipt) in which to determine whether the proposed publication
contains subject matter for which patent protection should be sought (prior to
publication of such proposed publication) for the purpose of protecting an
invention and/or whether the proposed publication contains the Confidential
Information of the Responding Party. Following the expiration of the forty-five
(45) day review period, the Submitting Party shall be free to submit such proposed
publication for publication and publish or otherwise disclose to the public
such scientific or clinical results, subject to the procedures set forth in Section 14.3(b).

Party, then prior to the expiration of the applicable time period for review,
the Responding Party shall notify the Submitting Party in writing of its
determination that such proposed publication contains such information or
subject matter for which patent protection should be sought. On receipt of such
written notice from the Responding Party, the Submitting Party shall delay
public disclosure of such information or submission of the proposed publication
for an additional period of ninety (90) days to permit preparation and filing
of a patent application on the disclosed subject matter. The Submitting Party
shall thereafter be free to publish or disclose such information, except that
the Submitting Party may not disclose any Confidential Information of the
Responding Party in violation of Sections 14.1 and 14.2 hereof.

announcement contains information previously approved by the other Party for
release hereunder; provided, however, that any disclosure which is required by
law, or by the rules of a nationally recognized securities exchange, as
advised by the disclosing Party’s counsel may be made without the prior consent

to participate in the equal funding of the Development and Commercialization of
each Collaboration Product in the Profit Sharing Territory until the next
applicable opt-out point specified in Exhibit 4.1(b)(iii) for such

the Acquired Party shall thereafter be eligible to receive from the
Non-Acquired Party, for the term specified below, incremental royalties on Net
Sales of the relevant Collaboration Product at a royalty rate which is equal to
the sum of (A) [****] (B) [****], as applicable. The term of the

expire on a country-by-country and Collaboration Product-by-Collaboration
Product basis, at the dates specified in Section 9.5. Each Collaboration
Product shall thereafter be deemed to be an Independent Product and all the
applicable provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.


 


16.5                        In any
event, expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the
Parties of any liability which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of
such expiration or termination nor preclude either Party from pursuing all
rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect
to any breach of this Agreement, nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain
performance of any obligation.

arising under this Agreement between the Parties, the Parties shall refer such
dispute to the respective Executives, and such Executives shall attempt in good
faith to resolve such dispute.


 


17.2                        Arbitration.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(c), if the Parties are unable
resolve a given dispute pursuant to Section 17.1 within [****] of
referring such dispute to the Executives, either Party may have the given
dispute settled by binding arbitration in the manner described below:


 


(a)                                  Arbitration
Request. If a Party intends to begin an arbitration to resolve a dispute
arising under this Agreement, such Party shall provide written notice (the “Arbitration Request”) to the other Party of such intention
and the issues for resolution. From the date of the Arbitration Request and
until such time as the dispute has become finally settled, the running of the
time periods as to which Party must cure a breach of this Agreement becomes
suspended as to the subject matter of the dispute.


 


(b)                                  Additional
Issues. Within [****] after the receipt of the Arbitration Request, the
other Party may, by written notice, add additional issues for resolution.


 


(c)                                  No
Arbitration of Patent Issues. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties,
disputes relating to patents shall not be subject to arbitration, and shall be
submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


(d)                                  Arbitration
Procedure. Except as expressly provided herein, the sole mechanism for
resolution of any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of or in connection
with or relating to this Agreement or the breach or alleged breach thereof
shall be arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Los Angeles, California, or in such other venue as
the Parties agree, under the commercial rules then in effect for the AAA
except as provided herein. All proceedings shall be held in English and a
transcribed record prepared in English. The Parties shall choose, by mutual
agreement, one arbitrator within [****] of receipt of notice of the intent to
arbitrate. If no arbitrator is appointed within the times herein provided or
any extension of time that is mutually agreed on, the AAA shall make such
appointment within [****] of such failure. The award rendered by the arbitrator
shall not include costs of arbitration, attorneys’ fees or costs for expert and
other witnesses. Within [****] of initiation of arbitration, the Parties shall
reach agreement upon and thereafter follow procedures assuring that the
arbitration will be concluded and the award rendered within no more than [****]
from

87

















 


selection of the
arbitrator. Failing such agreement, the AAA will design and the Parties will
follow procedures that meet such a time schedule. The arbitrator (i) shall
not have any power or authority to add to, alter, amend or modify the terms of
this Agreement but shall specify rules sufficient to allow reasonable
discovery by the Parties; (ii) shall establish and enforce appropriate rules to
ensure that the proceedings, including the decision, be kept confidential and
that all Confidential Information of the Parties be kept confidential and be
used for no purpose other than the arbitration; (iii) shall have the power
to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and conditions hereof in
addition to any other remedies at law or in equity; and (iv) shall issue
all decisions in writing. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed as
preventing either Party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other
provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the
subject matter of the dispute as necessary to protect either Party’s name,
proprietary information, trade secrets, know-how or any other proprietary right.
If the issues in dispute involve scientific or technical matters, any
arbitrator chosen hereunder shall have educational training and/or experience
sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of knowledge in the field of
biotechnology. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction thereof.


 


17.3                        Choice of
Law. The validity, performance, construction, and effect of this Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the [****], U.S.A., without regard to
conflicts of law principles that would provide for application of the law of a
jurisdiction outside California and excluding the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sales of Goods.

under this Agreement. The assigning Party shall promptly notify the other Party
of any such Change of Control and any such assignment and shall use all
reasonable efforts to provide such notification at least [****] before the

18.2                        Force
Majeure. If either Party shall be delayed, interrupted in or prevented from
the performance of any obligation hereunder by reason of force majeure
including an act of God, fire, flood, earthquake, war (declared or undeclared),
public disaster, act of terrorism, strike or labor differences, governmental
enactment, rule or regulation, or any other cause beyond such Party’s
control, such Party shall not be liable to the other therefor; and the time for
performance of such obligation shall be extended for a period equal to the
duration of the force majeure which occasioned the delay, interruption or
prevention. The Party invoking such force majeure rights of this Section 18.2
must notify the other Party by courier or overnight dispatch (e.g., Federal
Express) within a period of fifteen (15) days of both the first and last day of
the force majeure unless the force majeure renders such notification impossible
in which case notification will be made as soon as possible. If the delay
resulting from the force majeure exceeds six (6) months, both Parties
shall consult together to find an appropriate solution.


 


18.3                        Entire
Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the Parties with respect to the subject matter herein and, effective on

shall not be changed or modified orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by both Parties.


 


18.4                        Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid by a court of last
resort or by any court or other governmental body from the decision of which an
appeal is not taken within the time provided by law, then and in such event,
this Agreement will be deemed to have been terminated only as to the portion
thereof that relates to the provision invalidated by that decision and only in
the relevant jurisdiction, but this Agreement, in all other respects and all
other jurisdictions, will remain in force; provided, however, that if the
provision so invalidated is essential to the Agreement as a whole, then the
Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the terms hereof as nearly as
practical to carry out the original intent of the Parties, and, failing such
amendment, either Party may submit the matter for resolution pursuant to Article 16.

EXHIBIT C


 


FINANCIAL
PLANNING, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING PROCEDURES

FOR COLLABORATION AGREEMENT


 


This Exhibit C
to the Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”)
dated as of the Effective Date, between Protein Design Labs, Inc. (“PDL”) and Biogen Idec MA, Inc. (“Biogen Idec”)
covers financial planning, accounting policies and procedures to be followed in
determining Development Expenses, Ongoing Development Expenses, Other
Out-of-Pocket Costs and Reimbursable Commercial Costs pursuant to the
Agreement.


 


For such
purpose, this Exhibit C sets forth the principles for reporting
actual results and budgeted plans in the Territory, the frequency of reporting,
the use of a single “Functional Currency”
(as defined in A.3) and the methods of determining payments to the Parties, auditing
of accounts and other matters.


 


This Exhibit C
also provides agreed upon definitions of financial terms applicable to the
Parties for purposes of the Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein
without definition shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement
and, where applicable, the further definitions contained herein. References in
this Exhibit C to a “Party” or “Parties” shall be construed to mean Biogen Idec or PDL, as
the case may be, and in every case shall be deemed to include a Party’s
Affiliates or sublicensees under the Agreement.


 


The contents
of this Exhibit C are hereby incorporated into the Agreement and
are governed by the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the
confidentiality provisions set forth therein. Notwithstanding anything in the
Agreement to the contrary, no cost, expense, amount or sum allocable or
chargeable to the Parties’ activities under the Agreement shall be
allocated or charged more than once. Unless otherwise specifically authorized
by the Parties or the Agreement, all costs, expenses, amounts or sums to be
charged or allocated by one Party to the other Party under the Agreement shall
not be so chargeable or allocable unless they are both directly related to the
Agreement and the activities to be performed under the Agreement and are
reasonable and customary with respect to the global biopharmaceutical industry
considering the respective size and activities of the two Parties as
collaborators under the Agreement.


 


A.                                    Definitions,
Reporting and Reconciliation


 


A.1.                          Definitions


 


A.1.1                   “Combination
Product” shall mean a product containing both the Collaboration Product and
one or more other active ingredients in addition to the Collaboration Product
where the other active ingredients have independent prophylactic or therapeutic
effect when used alone to treat the disease or indication for which the
Combination Product is labeled, whether the Collaboration Product and the other
active


 

















 


ingredients are together in a physical mixture or
packaged and priced together as a single product.


 


A.1.2                   “Combination
Product Amount” shall mean the following: in the event a Collaboration
Product is sold in the form of a Combination Product, and provided that the
JSC  has approved the sale and marketing
of such a Combination Product in a Commercialization Plan , Net Sales for such
Combination Product for purposes of this Agreement will be determined by [****].
If, on a country-by-country basis, the other active component or components in
the combination are not sold separately in such country, Net Sales shall be
calculated by [****]. If, on a country-by-country basis, the Collaboration
Product component of the Combination Product is not sold separately in such
country, but the other active component or components are sold separately, Net
Sales shall be calculated by [****]. If, on a country-by-country basis, neither
the Collaboration Product nor the other active component or components of the
Combination Product is sold separately in such country, [****].


 


A.1.3  “Cost of
Clinical Supplies”  shall mean a
Party’s costs to produce [****], to the extent that such costs would ordinarily
be included [****] for a similar product, including without limitation labor
and material cost, allocable depreciation and amortization, product quality
assurance/control costs, allocable facilities costs (e.g., sewer, water,
property taxes), Third Party Royalties, insurance, and other costs borne by the
party for transport, customs and duty clearance and storage of Clinical
Supplies of Collaboration Product. [****].


 


A.1.4                   “Cost of Goods
Manufactured for Sale” or “COGM” shall mean a Party’s costs to produce [****]
and/or [****] to the extent that such costs would ordinarily be included [****]
for a similar product, including without limitation labor and material cost,
allocable depreciation and amortization, product quality assurance/control
costs, allocable facilities costs (e.g., sewer, water, property taxes), Third
Party Royalties, insurance, and other costs borne by the party for transport,
customs and duty clearance and storage of Commercial Supplies of Collaboration
Product. [****].


 


A.1.5                   “Cost of Sales”
shall mean a Collaboration Product’s Cost of Goods Manufactured for Sale [****],
Third Party Royalties (i.e., any allocable intellectual property acquisition

Development
activities shall include those costs required to obtain, maintain and/or expand
the authorization and/or ability to manufacture, formulate, fill, ship and/or
sell Collaboration Product in commercial quantities to Third Parties in the
Territory, including the costs of the Parties associated with the transfer of,
and implementation of manufacturing technology necessary to qualify a
manufacturing facility. Development Expenses shall also include, but are not
limited to, costs of research or Development, including costs of studies on the
toxicological, pharmacological, metabolical or clinical aspects of a
Collaboration Product conducted internally or by individual investigators or
consultants and necessary for the purpose of obtaining, maintaining and/or
expanding marketing approval of a Collaboration Product, process development,

qualification lots, the manufacture of Clinical Supplies of Collaboration
Product, and costs for preparing, submitting, reviewing or developing data or
information for the purpose of submission to a governmental authority to
obtain, maintain and/or expand manufacturing and/or marketing approval of a
Collaboration Product and costs of marketing studies related to Collaboration
Product. Development Expenses shall include the previously incurred cost of any
inventory of Collaboration Products held by PDL at the Effective Date, provided
that the date at which the cost of any such inventory shall be deemed to be
incurred by PDL as a Development Expense shall be the date such product is
shipped for use in Clinical Trials for a Collaboration Product. Development
Expenses shall also include expenses for data management, statistical designs
and studies, document preparation, and other administration expenses associated
with the clinical testing program. In determining Development Expenses
chargeable under this Agreement, each Party will use its respective project
accounting systems, and will review its respective project accounting systems
and methodologies with the other Party. The Parties shall agree upon and
consistently apply methodologies for calculating and allocating Development
Expenses based on their respective internal accounting systems. The Parties
hereby agree that efforts of the employees of a Party or its Affiliates in
performing its activities hereunder shall be charged as Development Expenses at
the applicable FTE Rate. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the
contrary, only those Development Expenses that are contemplated by the Development
Plan and an Annual Workplan/Budget or were otherwise approved by the JSC shall
be chargeable by a Party as Development Expenses with any cost overruns treated
in the manner set forth in Section A.2.2 of this Exhibit C. All
payments made by a Party to a Third Party in connection with the performance of
its activities under the Development Plan and an Annual Workplan/Budget shall
be charged as Development Expenses at such Party’s actual out-of-pocket cost. The
Cost of Clinical Supplies of Collaboration Product shall be charged as a
Development Expense. Except to the extent included in Cost of Clinical Supplies
of Collaboration Product, expenses incurred by each Party for equipment,
materials and supplies utilized in performing its activities under the
Development Plan and an Annual Workplan/Budget shall not be separately charged
as Development Expenses, except for those expenses incurred by a Party, with
the prior written consent of the JSC as set forth in the Development Plan and
Annual Workplan/Budget, in the purchase or making of equipment, materials or
supplies (other than common laboratory supplies, e.g.,
pipettes, test tubes, petri dishes, reagents, and the like) that are to be used
exclusively in connection with the performance of such


 

















 


Party’s
activities under a Development Plan and an Annual Workplan/Budget (e.g., laboratory animals, placebo supplies, etc.), which
expenses shall be charged as Development Expenses at such Party’s actual
out-of-pocket expense incurred in purchasing or making such equipment,
materials or supplies. Special purchases of capital equipment not related to
Manufacturing that are used solely for purposes of the Collaboration shall be
approved in advance by the JSC.


 


A.1.7                   “Distribution Costs”  shall mean the
FTE costs and other costs specifically identifiable or allocable to the
distribution of Collaboration Product by a Party and described in an Annual
Commercialization Plan/Budget including warehousing, transportation, order
entry, billing, shipping, credit and collection and other such activities as
approved by the JSC. For purposes of this definition, FTE costs shall be
charged at the applicable FTE Rate.


 


A.1.8                   “FTE Rate” shall
mean as defined in Section A.6 of this Exhibit C.


 


A.1.9                   “Gross Sales” shall mean the gross amount invoiced by a Party
or its Affiliates or sublicensees for sales of a Collaboration Product to Third
Parties in the Territory, including sales to distributors. For clarity, Gross
Sales will include a Party’s revenue from distributors, and not revenue of the
distributors themselves. A sale or transfer of a Collaboration Product by a
Party to one of its Affiliates shall not be considered a sale to a Third Party
for the purpose of this provision but the resale of such Collaboration Product
by such Affiliate to a Third Party shall be a sale for such purposes. In the
event the Collaboration Product is sold in the form of a Combination Product,
Gross Sales will be the Combination Product Amount. Each Party shall
communicate to the other Party any mandatory discounts to Gross Sales levied by
any Third Party.


 


A.1.10            “Marketing Costs”
shall mean the FTE costs and other direct costs of marketing, promotion and
advertising, including, without limitation, costs for preparing and reproducing
detailing aids, Collaboration Product promotional Materials and other
promotional materials,  costs of professional education,  product related public relations, relationships with
opinion leaders and professional societies, market research (before and after
product approval), healthcare economics studies, Post-Approval Clinical Trials,
and other similar activities directly related to the Collaboration Products, in
each case as approved by the JSC as part of the Commercialization Plan and an
Annual Commercialization Plan/Budget. Such costs may also include actual
out-of-pocket costs for outside services and expenses (e.g., consultants,
agency fees, meeting costs, etc.). “Marketing Costs” shall also include
activities related to obtaining reimbursement from payers, costs of sales and
marketing data, and costs not previously included as Sales Costs. For purposes
of this definition, FTE costs shall be charged at the applicable FTE Rate, as
set forth in Section A.1.16 of this Exhibit C.


 


A.1.11  “Net Sales” shall
mean Gross Sales of a Collaboration Product less applicable Sales Returns and
Allowances.


 


A.1.12  “Ongoing Development Expense” shall mean FTE costs and


 

















 


other costs
and expenses borne by either Party or its Affiliates with respect to Phase IV
Clinical Trials approved by the JSC and other expenses approved by the JSC
associated with market positioning of a Collaboration Product to the extent not
otherwise included within Development Expenses or Marketing Costs or Sales
Costs under any other written agreement between the Parties or their Affiliates
relating to Collaboration Product. For purposes of this definition, FTE costs
shall be charged at the applicable FTE Rate.


 


A.1.13  “Operating Expenses” shall mean Cost of Sales,  Marketing Costs,  Sales Costs, Ongoing Development Expenses,  Other Out-of-Pocket Costs and Distribution
Costs


 


A.1.14  “Other Out-of-Pocket Costs” shall mean other operating
expenses paid by the Parties or their Affiliates to Third Parties which are not
part of Development Expenses, but are considered and approved by the JSC as
expenses for purposes of the cost sharing arrangements under the Agreement. Other
Out-of-Pocket Costs shall be limited to the following:


 


•                       Third Party
License Fees (other than those related to the manufacture of Collaboration
Product to the extent covered under any other written agreement between the
Parties or their Affiliates related to Collaboration Product)


 


•                       Patent
Costs and trademark costs (as limited by Article 12 of the Agreement)


 


•                       product
liability insurance to the extent the Parties obtain a joint policy


 


•                       costs
pursuant to joint ownership of intellectual property as outlined in Article 12
of this Agreement


 


•                       costs
incurred in the defense of infringement suits pursuant to Section 12.8 of
the Agreement


 


•                       other
expenses approved by the JSC


 


A.1.15  “Post-Approval Clinical Trial” shall mean any clinical trial
in an indication, other than a Phase 3 Clinical Trial or Phase 4 Clinical
Trial, to be conducted after a Regulatory Approval for such indication.


 


A.1.16            “Sales Costs” shall
mean FTE costs and other direct costs approved by the JCC as part of the
Commercialization Plan and an Annual Commercialization Plan/Budget and
specifically identifiable to sales of Collaboration Products in the Territory. Sales
Costs shall include costs associated with Sales Representatives and training of
the Sales Representatives, sales meetings, details, sales call reporting, work
on managed care accounts, costs related to customer service and other sales and
customer service-related expenses. Sales Costs will not include start-up costs
associated with either Party’s sales force, including recruiting, relocation


 

















 


and other similar costs. The annual FTE cost shall be determined based
on the actual FTE cost from the prior budget year for the respective Sales,
Marketing, Customer Service, Managed Markets, Decision Support and Medical
Affairs functions of each Party, with one collaboration FTE rate established
each year for all sales and marketing functions.


 


A.1.17  “Sales Returns & Allowances” shall
mean the sum of (a) and (b), where: (a) [****]; and (b) [****].


 


It is the
intention of the Parties that the interpretation of these definitions in this Exhibit C
will be in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied in accordance with
Biogen Idec then current practices. A Party will promptly make the appropriate

•                       [****]


 


Costs included
in Cost of Clinical Supplies are not subject to JSC approval as long as they
are consistent with the definitions and within the JSC approved budget.


 


A.2.2  Reconciliation Statements.
Within [****] following the end of a Calendar Quarter, each Party shall submit
to the other Party its report of actual results as outlined above (including a
summary of charges and credits allocated to its Development Expense Project
Account). Expenses charged by either Party as Ongoing Development Expenses,
Other Out-of-Pocket Costs and Development Expenses shall not exceed [****] of
the amount included for the total expenditure in the then current Development
Plan or Annual Workplan/Budget, as the case may be, unless the JFC recommends,
and the JSC approves such excess expense. If actual costs of any expense line
item in implementing an Annual Work Plan/Budget or the Development Plan is
expected to vary by more than [****], then the Party incurring the variance(s)
has


 

















 


the obligation
to inform the other Party of such variance(s) in a timely manner and to discuss
with such Party the causes of the variance(s). Any such discussion as to the
cause of the variances shall occur at the JFC. If the actual costs of
implementing an Annual Work Plan/Budget or the Development Plan are expected to
vary by more than [****] from the amounts budgeted for expenditure during the
calendar year, the Responsible Development Party will promptly revise, as applicable,
the Annual Workplan/Budget or Development Plan and submit it in writing, with
an explanation of the variance and the reasons therefore, for approval to the
JSC. If the JSC does not approve the variance, the amount by which the actual
costs exceed [****] of the budgeted costs shall be borne by the Party that
incurred the costs.


 


The financial
representatives from each Party on the JFC shall be responsible for, within [****]
days following the end of a Calendar Quarter, preparing a statement (“Reconciliation Statement”) in a format agreed to by the
Parties showing each Party’s results, the calculations of Ongoing Development
Expenses, Other Out-of-Pocket Costs, Cost of Clinical Supplies, COGM and
Development Expenses sharing under Section 3.6 of the Agreement and any
cash settlement required. The Reconciliation Statement and reports of actual
results compared to budget will be sent to the JFC, within [****] following the
end of a Calendar Quarter for approval. After approval by the JFC, the JFC will
forward the Reconciliation Statement to the JSC for its information or approval
in the case of a dispute. The Reconciliation Statement shall be provided to the
JSC [****] prior to the date upon which the JSC shall meet to approve the
Reconciliation Statement, if approval is being sought. Reconciliation
Statements shall be made by PDL or Biogen Idec in the manner set forth in Section A.5
of this Exhibit C.


 


A.3  Foreign Exchange. The
“Functional Currency” for accounting for
Ongoing Development Expenses, Other Out-of-Pocket Costs and Development
Expenses will be U.S. dollars. Except as the Parties otherwise mutually agree,
for billing and reporting, the statement of operations will be translated into
U.S. dollars using the [****] listed in The Wall Street Journal
for the [****]. If, due to restrictions or prohibitions imposed by national or
international authority, payments cannot be made as provided in this Section,
the Parties shall consult with each other with a view towards finding a prompt
and acceptable solution, and the paying Party will transfer funds as the other
Party may lawfully direct at no additional out-of-pocket expense to the paying
Party.


 


A.4  Audits and Interim Reviews.
Either Party shall have the right to request that a nationally recognized, independent
accounting firm to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties and that is not
either Party’s independent accounting firm perform an audit or
interim review of the other Party’s books and records as they relate to

activities
under this Agreement in order to express an opinion regarding such Party’s
accounting for revenues, costs and expenses under this Agreement. Such audits
or review will be conducted at the expense of the requesting Party. Either
Party shall have the right to request that a nationally recognized, independent
accounting firm to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties and that is not
either Party’s independent accounting firm perform an audit of the other Party’s
books of accounts for the sole purpose of verifying compliance with the
Agreement and the Transaction Agreements. Upon [****] prior written notice from
a Party (the “Auditing Party”), the other Party
(the “Audited Party”) shall permit the
mutually agreed upon independent accounting firm to examine the relevant books
and records of the Audited Party and its Affiliates as may be reasonably
necessary to verify the reports and information submitted by the Audited Party
and the accuracy of any Reconciliation Statement. An examination by a Party
under this Section shall occur not more than [****] and shall be limited
to the pertinent books and records for any calendar year ending not more than [****]
before the date of the request. The accounting firm shall be provided access to
such books and records at the Audited Party’s facility(ies) and/or the
facilities of its Affiliates or sublicensees where such books and records are
normally kept and such examination shall be conducted during the Audited Party’s
normal business hours. The Audited Party may require the accounting firm to
sign a standard non-disclosure agreement with terms that are not inconsistent
with the terms of the Agreement before providing the accounting firm access to
the Audited Party’s facilities or records. Upon completion of the audit, the
accounting firm shall provide both Biogen Idec and PDL a written report
disclosing whether the reports submitted by the Audited Party are correct or
incorrect and the specific details and supporting analysis for any
discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to the Auditing Party. If
the accounting firm determines that, based on errors in the reports so
submitted, any report prepared in accordance with the Agreement is incorrect,
the Parties shall promptly revise the report and the associated Reconciliation
Statement and any additional amount owed by one Party to the other shall be
paid within [****] after receipt of the accountant’s report, along with
interest at the lesser of (i) the [****] or (ii) the highest rate
permitted by applicable law from the date that such additional amount should
have first been paid; provided, however, that no such interest shall be payable if the
errors leading to the Reconciliation Statement being incorrect were in the
reports provided by the Party to receive such additional amount. Additionally,
if the accountant determines that the reports submitted by the Audited Party
overstate the Audited Party’s share by more than [****], the Audited Party
shall reimburse the Auditing Party for the expenses incurred by the Auditing
Party in conducting the audit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the Parties shall coordinate with their Affiliates such that not more than [****]
audit of a Party and its Affiliates as a whole, shall be performed in any given
calendar year with respect to the

development,
manufacturing, commercialization or other use of the Collaboration Product
under any written agreement between the Parties and/or their Affiliates
relating to the Collaboration Product. In the event of any sublicense or
transfer of rights with respect to Collaboration Products by a Party under this
Agreement, the sublicensor or transferor shall provide for audit rights by the
other Party to this Agreement in accordance with this Section A.4 of this Exhibit C.


 


A.5 
Payments Between the Parties. Based upon the
Reconciliation Statement, as approved by the JFC or the JSC, as applicable,
there shall be a cash settlement between the Parties no later than [****]
after the end of each Calendar Quarter. In the event any payment is made after
the date specified in the preceding sentence and provided that such payment is
not otherwise subject to good faith dispute, the paying Party shall increase
the amount otherwise due and payable by adding interest at the lesser of (i) [****]
or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law from the date that
such additional amount should have first been paid. Except where the actual
expenses for the Daclizumab development exceeds the annualized budget/plan by
more than [****], and such variances were approved by the JSC, then the Parties
shall get a payment deferral of [****] for cash settlement of the amount in
excess of [****] of the annualized budget/plan. If a Party elects to defer
payments during this time, interest will accrue [****] and through settlement.


 


Any other amount owed by one Party to the
other Party under this Agreement, except for amounts pursuant to Reconciliation
Statements, that is not paid within the applicable time period set forth herein
shall bear simple interest [****], as reported in the Wall Street Journal,
Eastern Edition, on the due date (or, if the due date is not a business day, on
the last business day prior to such due date).

Exhibit 2.1


 


Joint Operating Principles


 


The following Principles are intended as guidelines for the operation
of the Committees and Collaboration, but the specific terms of the Agreement
shall be controlling in the case of any conflict between a provision of the
Agreement and these guidelines.


 


 Guiding Principles


 


•                  Engage in
development activities with the goal of obtaining regulatory approval for each
collaborative product as soon as reasonably practicable in major market
countries where it makes commercial sense to do so given the economic profile
and the safety and efficacy profile of such collaborative product


•                  Utilize the
then-prevailing infrastructure, expertise and experience of each party with
respect to specific development activities for collaborative products in
specific indications


•                  Create reasonable
flexibility to allow each party to build infrastructure for development and
commercialization activities if it reasonably elects, provided that the cost
associated with building such infrastructure are not charged to the
reimbursable activities under this agreement


•                  Avoid
unnecessary duplication of resources


•                  Maximize
information flow between parties


•                  Allow each party
to have input into the content and scope of Registrations for collaborative
products and, through their Joint Steering Committee representatives, the right
to approve substantive portions of any registrations


•                  Allow each party
to participate in substantive interactions with Regulatory Authorities related
to collaborative products


 


1.                                      Development:  Joint Development Plan


 


Each joint development plan shall be in the form agreed upon by the
Joint Strategy Committee, but shall address, at a minimum, the following:


•                  Goals for the
development of the collaborative products


•                  Critical
decision points criterion


•                  Scope of
research and clinical work, including regulatory strategy


•                  Timeline for
performing research and clinical work


•                  Anticipated
indications, including the desired product profile and formulation


•                  Competitive
market issues


•                  High level cost
and other financial estimates


•                  Manufacturing,
product supply and cell-line development activities


•                  General
commercialization framework


 

















 


•                  Operational
responsibilities for each party


•                  Key technical
and commercial assumptions


 


2.                                      Development:  Annual Work Plan

Exhibit 8.3


 


A Commercial Supply Agreement between the Parties for
Collaboration Products or Royalty Products shall contain, in addition to
customary manufacturing terms and conditions, the following obligations:


 


a.               The Responsible Commercialization Party
shall purchase [****] of its, its Affiliates and its sublicensees’ commercial
requirements of Collaboration Product from the Manufacturing Party.


 


b.              The Parties will agree to reasonable
forecasting mechanisms in the Commercial Supply Agreement. The Manufacturing
Party will provide the other Party with notice not less than [****] in advance
of any anticipated change in annual production that would impact such party’s
ability to meet forecasted demand.


 


c.               Collaboration Product shall be Manufactured
in accordance with all requirements of applicable laws and regulations and all
GMP, as prescribed from time to time by the FDA and other applicable worldwide
regulatory authorities, using the product specifications, manufacturing methods
and formulae as agreed upon by the Parties.


 


d.              If either Party believes that any
Regulatory Approval, GMP, or other applicable law, or any other notice from a
regulatory authority, shall require a change to the particular product specifications,
the Parties shall consult prior to the implementation of such change in order
to mutually determine whether such change is, in fact, required by such
Regulatory Approval, GMP, other applicable law or notice. Any such change in
product specifications will be effected upon mutual agreement of the Parties.


 


e.               In the event either Party is unable to obtain
Regulatory Approval for a Collaboration Product and such lack of approval is
related to the CMC Section, then the other Party shall have the right to
become, and assume all of the responsibilities of, the Manufacturing Party for
such product.


 


 






*Certain information on

Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.


 

















 


f.                 The non-Manufacturing Party shall have the
right to conduct (upon reasonable notice during reasonable business hours)
reasonable quality assurance audits with respect to all facilities, operations
and laboratories (and any records related thereto) of the Manufacturing Party
or, if applicable, the Third Party contract manufacturer used by such Party,
where applicable Manufacturing activities are conducted, as is reasonably
necessary to verify the compliance with GMP and other regulatory requirements.
The results of any such audit shall be provided to the other Party.


 


g.              The Manufacturing Party may
not utilize a Third Party contract manufacturer without the consent of the
non-Manufacturing Party.


 


h.              The Manufacturing Party shall
be responsible for release of product from its and its Third Party CMO’s
facilities. The non Manufacturing Party shall have access to, and the right to
review, all release documentation for any evidence of product nonconformance.


 


i.                  If the Manufacturing Party
desires to use a Third Party to perform any part of the Manufacture and supply
or if the Manufacturing Party plans to undertake capacity expansion,
significant facility improvements, or the purchase of capital equipment for the
Manufacture of Collaboration Product, the JSC shall first consider whether the
other Party has the ability, capability, and desire to perform such Manufacture
and supply and, if so, the Parties shall amend the Commercial Manufacturing
Agreement to cover the part of the Manufacture and supply to be performed by
such other Party.


 


j.                  In the event that the non Manufacturing
Party consents to use of a Third Party contract manufacturer, the Manufacturing
Party shall enter into a supply agreement and quality agreement and shall
ensure that the non Manufacturing Party shall either be a party to such
agreements (in addition to the Responsible Manufacturing Party), or a third
party beneficiary of such agreements. To the extent the non Manufacturing Party
is not a party to such agreements, it shall be a permitted assignee or
sublicensee under such agreement.


 


k.               The non Manufacturing Party shall have the
right to review and comment upon the Third Party supply agreement and quality
agreement.


 


l.                  If the Manufacturing Party utilizes a Third
Party contract manufacturer, such supply agreement shall require the Third
Party supplier to transfer sufficient information (including information
contained in the CMC section of any applicable Regulatory Filings, the
results of any stability studies performed on Product and copies of any direct
communications between the Third Party supplier and regulatory authorities in
relation to Product) to


 

















 


Biogen Idec or PDL (as appropriate), in each case as is required to
implement the then-most current versions of such Manufacturing process, upon
termination of such agreement or otherwise upon request.


 


m.            If the Manufacturing Party is unwilling or unable to meet [****]
of the Responsible Commercialization Party’s requirements for Collaboration
Product on the timelines set forth in the Commercialization Plan for such
Collaboration Product or if the Collaboration Product Manufactured consistently
does not meet the requisite Product specifications and other quality
requirements set forth herein, then the Manufacturing Party shall, at the election of the other
party, conduct a transfer of the necessary Manufacturing
Technology to the non Manufacturing Party so as to enable it to Manufacture or
have Manufactured such Product by a Third Party contract manufacturer of its
choice. The non Manufacturing Party, upon such transfer, shall become the
Manufacturing Party for purposes of the Collaboration Product.


 


n.              The Parties shall enter into a Technology
Transfer Agreement containing the FTE Plans and costs related to CMC/filing
activities for the Collaboration Products. In addition, the Parties shall enter
into a Quality Agreement related to the Manufacture of the Collaboration
Products. Such Quality Agreement shall specify the designated Qualified Person
for release of finished Collaboration Products.

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the
Agreement to delete Section 16.4 of the Agreement regarding consequences
of a Change of Control (as defined in the Agreement), to permit the Agreement,

foregoing premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the Parties,
intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:


 


1.  Capitalized Terms.  The capitalized
terms used herein shall have the same definitions as provided in the Agreement.


 


2.  Deletion of Section 16.4; No other
Amendment.  Section 16.4
of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and Section 16.5 is
renumbered as Section 16.4.  Except
as provided in Section 2, the Agreement shall continue in effect.


 

















 


This Amendment may be executed in
counterparts, all of which taken together shall be regarded as one and the same
instrument.


 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed
this First Amendment to Collaboration Agreement through their duly authorized
representatives to be effective as of November 1, 2007.
