			8.4       Shared Development Costs.
		

		
			8.4.1    Cost Sharing.  Development Costs incurred during the Term by the Parties and their Affiliates shall be borne [...***...] by Janssen and [...***...] by argenx.  Development Costs will not be included in Allowable Expenses for purposes of calculating U.S. Collaboration Results, and any amounts included in Allowable Expenses will not be included in Development Costs.
		

		
			8.4.2    Cost Reports.
		

		
			(a)        Development Costs shall initially be borne by the Party incurring the cost or expense, subject to reimbursement as provided in Section 8.4.3.  Each Party shall calculate and maintain records of Development Costs incurred by it and its Affiliates in accordance with procedures to be established by the JFC in coordination with the JDC.
		

		
			(b)       The procedures for quarterly reporting of actual results, quarterly review and discussion of potential discrepancies, quarterly reconciliation, reasonable cost forecasting, and other finance and accounting matters related to Development Costs will be determined by the JFC (the “Development Reconciliation Procedures”).  Such procedures will provide the ability to comply with financial reporting requirements of each Party.
		

		
			(c)        The Development Reconciliation Procedures shall provide that, within [...***...] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, each Party shall submit to the JFC and the JDC a report, in a format established by the JFC, of all Development Costs incurred by such Party and its Affiliates during such Calendar Quarter (each, a “Cost Report”).  Within [...***...] following the receipt of each Cost Report, each Party shall have the right to request reasonable additional information (as determined by the JFC) related to the other Party’s and its Affiliates’ Development Costs during such Calendar Quarter in order to confirm that such other Party’s spending is in conformance with the approved Development Budget.
		

		
			(d)       The JFC shall establish reasonable procedures for the Parties to share estimated Development Costs for each Calendar Quarter before the end of such Calendar Quarter, to enable each Party to appropriately accrue its share of Development Costs for financial reporting purposes.
		

		
			8.4.3    Reimbursement of Shared Development Costs.
		

		
			(a)        The Party (with its Affiliates) that incurs more than its share of the total actual Development Costs with respect to a Calendar Quarter shall be paid by the other Party an amount of cash sufficient to reconcile to its agreed percentage of actual Development Costs in such Calendar Quarter pursuant to Section 8.4.1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, on a Calendar Year-to-date basis, the Parties shall not share any Development Costs in excess of the amounts allocated for such Calendar Year-to-date period in the Development Budget, except as follows:
		

		
			(i)         Development Costs in excess of the Development Budget shall be included in the calculation of Development Costs to be shared by the Parties to the extent such excess Development Costs do not exceed [...***...] of the total

			Development Costs allocated to be incurred by such Party and its Affiliates in the applicable Calendar Year-to-date period in accordance with the applicable Development Budget for such Calendar Year; and
		

		
			(ii)       the Parties shall share any and all Development Costs in excess of the Development Budget, as applicable, to the extent attributable to: (A) a change in applicable Law; (B) a Force Majeure Event; (C) a variation in actual patient enrollment from projected patient enrollment; (D) a change to a clinical trial protocol required or requested by any Governmental Authority; or (E) increases in the cost of raw materials.
		

		
			(b)       If any excess Development Costs are excluded from sharing by the Parties for a particular Calendar Year-to-date period pursuant to Section 8.4.3(a), such excess Development Costs shall be carried forward to the subsequent Calendar Quarters (provided that such Calendar Quarters fall within the same Calendar Year) and, to the extent the total Development Costs incurred by such Party and its Affiliates for the Calendar Year-to-date as of the end of such subsequent Calendar Quarter are less than [...***...] of the aggregate Development Costs allocated to such Party under the Development Budget for such Calendar Year-to-date period, such carried forward amounts shall be included in Development Costs to be shared by the Parties for such Calendar Year-to-date-period (i.e., so that the total Development Costs incurred by such Party and its Affiliates that are shared pursuant to this Section 8.4 during any Calendar Year do not exceed [...***...] of the Development Costs allocated to such Party under the Development Budget for such Calendar Year, unless otherwise approved by the JSC).
		

		
			(c)        The Development Reconciliation Procedures shall require the JFC to develop a written report setting out the calculation of any net amount owed by argenx to Janssen or by Janssen to argenx, as the case may be, as necessary to accomplish the sharing of Development Costs set forth in Section 8.4.1 and this Section 8.4.3, and to prepare such report promptly following delivery of the Cost Reports and in a reasonable time (to be defined in the Development Reconciliation Procedures) in advance of payment.
		

		
			(d)       The net amount payable to accomplish the sharing of Development Costs as provided under this Agreement shall be paid by Janssen or argenx, as the case may be, within [...***...] after the end of the applicable Calendar Quarter.
		

		
			(e)        In establishing the Development Reconciliation Procedures, the Finance Working Group shall work to coordinate and harmonize the Development Reconciliation Procedures with the U.S. Reconciliation Procedures to permit for reconciliation, and associated payments, with respect to Development Costs and U.S. Collaboration Results within [...***...] after the end of the applicable Calendar Quarter.
		

		
			8.5       U.S. Territory Royalties.
		

		
			8.5.1    U.S. Royalties.  In partial consideration for the licenses granted by argenx to Janssen in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement, Janssen shall pay to argenx royalties in an amount that will divide the U.S. Collaboration Results 50-50 between Janssen and argenx.  The U.S. Collaboration Results shall be calculated as set forth in the Financial Exhibit,

			and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Allowable Expenses in such calculation shall be subject to the limitations set forth in section (1) of the Financial Exhibit.  The reconciliation process shall occur on a quarterly basis in accordance with Section 8.5.2(b).
		

		
			8.5.2    Quarterly Reconciliation and Payments.
		

		
			(a)        Procedures for quarterly reporting of actual results and review and discussion of potential discrepancies, quarterly reconciliation, reasonable forecasting, and other finance and accounting matters, to the extent not set forth in the Financial Exhibit, will be established by the JFC (the “U.S. Reconciliation Procedures”).  Such procedures will take into account the ability of each Party to comply with its own financial reporting requirements.
		

		
			(b)       The U.S. Reconciliation Procedures shall provide that within [...***...] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, each Party shall submit to the JFC a report, in such reasonable detail and format as is established by the JFC, of all Net Sales and Allowable Expenses and other amounts necessary to calculate U.S. Collaboration Results, the royalty due by Janssen to argenx in accordance with Section 8.5.1, the amount of Allowable Expenses to be invoiced by argenx to any of its Affiliates in accordance with Section 8.5.2(d) and any royalty rebate due by argenx to Janssen in accordance with Section 8.5.2(d).  Within [...***...] following the receipt of such report, each Party shall have the right to request reasonable additional information (as determined by the JFC) necessary to permit calculation and reconciliation of the U.S. Collaboration Results for the applicable Calendar Quarter, and to confirm that Allowable Expenses are in conformance with the approved U.S. Commercialization Budget.
		

		
			(c)        The U.S. Reconciliation Procedures shall provide for the JFC to develop a written report setting forth the calculation of U.S. Collaboration Results for the applicable Calendar Quarter, royalties owed by Janssen to argenx, Allowable Expenses to be invoiced by argenx or by any of its Affiliates, and the calculation of any negative U.S. Collaboration Results, and to prepare such report promptly following delivery of the reports from the Parties as described above in this Section and in a reasonable time (to be defined in the U.S. Reconciliation Procedures) in advance of applicable payments in accordance with Sections 8.5.1 and 8.5.2 for the applicable Calendar Quarter.
		

		
			(d)       In the event of negative U.S. Collaboration Results for a particular Calendar Quarter, argenx shall pay to Janssen a royalty rebate in an amount that will divide the negative U.S. Collaboration Results 50-50 resulting from the Net Sales, Other Income and the Allowable Expenses (all as defined in the Financial Exhibit) between Janssen and argenx.  This reconciliation process shall occur on a quarterly basis in accordance with Section 8.5.2(b) and the Financial Exhibit. Any Allowable Expenses, as defined in the Financial Exhibit, incurred by argenx or any of its Affiliates, shall be invoiced by argenx or any of its Affiliates, depending on the case, to Janssen or its designated Affiliate for an amount equal to the aggregate of the amount of the Allowable Expenses and a profit margin. The profit margin will be determined by argenx or any of its Affiliates, depending on the case, at its discretion in accordance with its transfer pricing policy. Any such amount charged by argenx or any of its Affiliates shall be deducted from the royalty to be paid by Janssen or its designated Affiliate to argenx in accordance with Section 8.5.1 or shall be added to the royalty rebate to be paid by argenx to Janssen in accordance with this Section. Any such amount charged by argenx or any of its Affiliates,

			excluding the profit margin, will remain to be considered an Allowable Expense for determining the U.S. Collaboration Results.
		

		
			(e)        Payments in accordance with Sections 8.5.1 and 8.5.2 shall be paid by the relevant Party within [...***...] after the end of each Calendar Quarter.
		

		
			8.6       OUS Territory Royalties.
		

		
			8.6.1    Royalty Rates.  In partial consideration of the licenses granted by argenx to Janssen in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement, Janssen shall pay to argenx royalties on the aggregate Net Sales of Licensed Products by Janssen, its Affiliates and sublicensees in the OUS Territory during each Calendar Year at the rates set forth in the table below.  For clarity, Net Sales of all Licensed Products that contain a given Licensed Compound shall be aggregated for purposes of calculation of royalties pursuant to this Section 8.6; provided, however, that Net Sales of a particular Licensed Product in a particular country occurring after expiration of the Royalty Term for such Licensed Product in such country shall be disregarded in the calculation of royalties pursuant to this Section 8.6.

			(b)       Subject to Section 8.6.2(c), on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, the royalties due to argenx pursuant to Section 8.6.1 shall be reduced during the Royalty Term for a Licensed Product in a country to [...***...] of the amount otherwise payable from and after the later of (i) the date that there is no Valid Claim of (i) an argenx Patent Right or Joint Collaboration Patent Right in such country that Covers the composition of matter or any method of use of such Licensed Product or (ii) a Specified Manufacturing Patent Right in such country that Covers any method of manufacture of such Licensed Productor (ii) if any Regulatory Exclusivity is granted with respect to such Licensed Product in such country, the date on which all such Regulatory Exclusivity expires.
		

		
			(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total deductions under Sections 8.6.2(a) and 8.6.2(b) reduce the royalties payable to argenx under Section 8.6.1 with respect to a given Licensed Product in a given country in any Calendar Quarter by more than [...***...] of the amount that would otherwise be payable if such deductions were not made; provided,  however, that to the extent [...***...].
		

		
			8.6.3    Royalty Term Expiration.  Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to a Licensed Product in a country in the OUS Territory, argenx hereby grants to Janssen a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully-paid and royalty-free right and license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under the argenx Intellectual Property to use, Develop, have Developed, make, have made, Manufacture, sell, offer for sale, have sold, import, Commercialize and otherwise Exploit such Licensed Product in the Field in such country.  For clarity, after the Royalty Term expires with respect to a Licensed Product in a country, the calculation of annual Net Sales of such Licensed Product in the OUS Territory shall exclude sales of such Licensed Product in such country.
		

		
			8.6.4    Royalty Reports and Payments.  Commencing with the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product by Janssen or its Affiliates or sublicensees in the OUS Territory, Janssen shall (a) within [...***...] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, deliver a preliminary written report to argenx stating, by Licensed Product, the estimated aggregate Net Sales in U.S. Dollars of Licensed Products sold in the OUS Territory during such Calendar Quarter by Janssen and its Affiliates and sublicensees, and (b) within [...***...] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, deliver a final written report to argenx stating, by Licensed Product and by region (which regions shall be [...***...]), the aggregate Net Sales in U.S. Dollars of Licensed Products sold in the OUS Territory during such Calendar Quarter by Janssen and its Affiliates and sublicensees.  The final report shall also show (x) the calculation of the royalty payments due to argenx on such Net Sales (including aggregate gross amounts invoiced for such Licensed Product in such region during the reporting period), (y) the amount of taxes, if any, withheld to

			comply with applicable Laws, and (z) the exchange rates used in calculating the payments due argenx.  Simultaneously with the delivery of each such final report, Janssen shall pay to argenx the total royalties, if any, due to argenx for the period of such report.  If no royalties or Sales Milestone Payments are due, Janssen shall so report.  All preliminary and final reports delivered by Janssen under this Section shall be Confidential Information of Janssen, save that, to the extent argenx is obliged to share information contained in such preliminary and final reports with any counterparty to a Royalty-Bearing Agreement, it may disclose such reports to such counterparty, subject to the applicable confidentiality provisions of such Royalty-Bearing Agreement.
		

		
			8.6.5    Royalty Conditions.  All royalties due to argenx pursuant to Section 8.6.1 are subject to the following conditions:  (a) only one royalty shall be due with respect to the same unit of Licensed Product; (b) no royalties shall be due upon the sale or other transfer among Janssen or its Affiliates, but in such cases the royalty shall be due and calculated upon Janssen’s or its Affiliate’s Net Sales to the first independent Third Party, and Distributors of Janssen selling Licensed Product will not, for this purpose, be deemed to be sublicensees of Janssen and shall instead be considered as independent Third Parties; and (c) no royalties shall be due upon free samples, donations, patient assistance, test marketing programs or other similar programs or studies.
		

		
			8.7       Third Party Patent Rights.
		

		
			8.7.1    If, during the Term, a Party determines, in its reasonable judgment, that it is necessary to obtain rights under any Patent Rights Controlled by a Third Party in order to Exploit a Licensed Compound or Licensed Product in accordance with this Agreement, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party.  The Parties shall then discuss whether to obtain rights under such Patent Rights.  Upon request of either Party, the Parties shall seek the advice of mutually agreed joint patent counsel and reasonably take into account such counsel’s opinion.  In the event that the Parties do not agree, then Janssen shall have final decision-making authority.
		

		
			8.7.2    If the Parties determine, or the Parties do not agree and Janssen determines, that it is necessary to obtain a license under any Patent Rights Controlled by a Third Party to Exploit a Licensed Compound or Licensed Product in accordance with this Agreement, Janssen shall have the right to enter into a license agreement with the applicable Third Party to obtain a license under such Patent Rights from the relevant Third Party to Exploit a Licensed Compound or Licensed Product (a “New Third Party License”), which New Third Party License shall be sublicensable to argenx to the extent necessary to grant argenx the licenses set forth in Section 3.2 or Section 13.6.2.
		

		
			8.7.3    Milestone payments and royalties actually paid under a New Third Party License shall be borne as follows:
		

		
			(a)        such milestone payments and royalties shall be included as Development Costs, to the extent such payments are specifically attributable and allocable to Development of Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products pursuant to the GDP;

			(b)       such milestone payments and royalties shall be included as Allowable Expenses, to the extent specifically attributable and allocable to Commercialization of Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products in the U.S.; and
		

		
			(c)        such milestone payments and royalties shall be borne solely by Janssen (and not included as Development Costs or Allowable Expenses), to the extent specifically attributable and allocable to Commercialization of Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products in the OUS Territory, subject to Section 8.6.2(a).
		

		
			Except as expressly set forth above in this Section 8.7.3, any and all payments to any Third Party with respect to the license or acquisition by Janssen or any of its Affiliates of Patent Rights or other intellectual property of any Third Party shall be borne solely by Janssen and not included as Development Costs or Allowable Expenses.
		

		
			8.8       Existing Third Party Agreement Payments.  Payments under the Existing Third Party Agreements incurred after the Execution Date (a) that are attributable and allocable to Commercialization of Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products in the OUS Territory undertaken in accordance with this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of argenx and shall not be included as Development Costs or Allowable Expenses, (b) that are attributable and allocable to Development of Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products undertaken under the GDP in accordance with this Agreement shall be included as Development Costs and (c) that are attributable and allocable to Commercialization of Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products in the U.S. undertaken in accordance with this Agreement shall be included as Allowable Expenses except that, if in order to implement the CMC Plan, argenx is required to pay any royalties under the Lonza Manufacturing Agreement that exceed the royalties payable by argenx under the Lonza Manufacturing Agreement as of the Execution Date, such additional royalties shall be [...***...].  The JFC shall determine the manner in which Janssen will reimburse argenx for its [...***...] share of such additional royalties.
		

		
			8.9       Audits.
		

		
			8.9.1    Each Party shall keep, and cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records of the items underlying Development Costs, Allowable Expenses, Other Income, Net Sales, and the other elements required to prepare the reports or calculate payments required by Sections 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 and the U.S. Reconciliation Procedures, and any other payments under this Agreement.  Such records must be retained for a period of [...***...] following the relevant reporting period.  Each Party will have the right at its own expense to have an independent, certified public accountant, selected by such Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party, review any such records of the other Party and its Affiliates in the location(s) where such records are maintained by the other Party or its Affiliates upon [...***...] prior written notice and during normal business hours and under obligations of confidence, for the sole purpose of verifying the basis and accuracy of payments made under Sections 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6, and any other payments due under this Agreement, within the prior [...***...] period.  Audits may not be conducted by a Party under this Section more than [...***...], and an audit of the records relating to a particular Calendar Year may be conducted not more than once.  To the extent that any Royalty-Bearing Agreement obligates argenx to maintain records for a longer period, or provides any Royalty-Bearing Agreement counterparty with the right to conduct audits for a

			longer period after the Term or with respect to records extending further in the past, than set forth in this Section 8.9.1, then the terms of such Royalty-Bearing Agreement shall take precedence over the terms of this Section 8.9.1, provided that any records of Janssen that are subject to audit pursuant to any Royalty-Bearing Agreement shall be subject to the applicable confidentiality provisions of such Royalty-Bearing Agreement.
		

		
			8.9.2    The report of the independent certified public accountant shall be shared with the audited Party before distribution to the auditing Party so that the audited Party can provide the independent public accountant with justifying remarks for inclusion in the report before sharing the conclusions of such independent public audit with the auditing Party.  The final audit report will be shared with the auditing and audited Party at the same time and shall specify whether the amounts paid to the auditing Party during the audited period were correct or, if incorrect, the amount of any underpayment or overpayment. The audit report shall only contain the information relevant to support the statement as to whether the amounts due under this Agreement were calculated and paid accurately and shall not include any confidential (or additional information that is ordinarily not included in the reports to the auditing Party) disclosed to the auditor during the course of the audit.  Where argenx is the auditing Party, argenx may disclose such conclusions of the independent public audit to all Royalty-Bearing Agreement counterparties, to the extent required under the relevant Royalty-Bearing Agreement, provided that such conclusions shall be subject to the applicable confidentiality provisions of such Royalty-Bearing Agreement.
		

		
			8.9.3    If the review of such records reveals that the other Party has failed to accurately report information pursuant to Section 8.4, 8.5 or 8.6, or make any payment (or portion thereof) required under this Agreement, then the other Party shall pay, within [...***...] after receipt of the final audit report by the audited Party, to the auditing Party any underpaid amounts due under Section 8.4, 8.5 or 8.6, or otherwise due under this Agreement, together with interest calculated in the manner provided in Section 8.12.  If any such discrepancies are an underpayment of amounts due under this Agreement greater than [...***...] of the amounts actually due for any Calendar Year, the other Party shall pay all reasonable costs incurred in conducting such review.  If any such discrepancies are an overpayment of amounts due under this Agreement greater than [...***...] of the amounts actually due for any Calendar Year, the other Party shall pay all reasonable costs incurred in conducting such review.  If the audited Party disagrees with the findings of the audit report, the Parties will first seek to resolve the matter between themselves, and in the event they fail to reach agreement, the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Article XV shall apply.
		

		
			8.10     Tax Matters.
		

		
			8.10.1  Each Party will make all payments to each other under this Agreement without deduction or withholding for Taxes except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by Law in effect at the time of payment.
		

		
			8.10.2  Any Tax required to be withheld on amounts payable under this Agreement will promptly be paid by the Party making the payment (the “Payor”) on behalf of the Party receiving the payment (the “Payee”) to the appropriate Governmental Authority, and Payor will furnish Payee with proof of payment of such Tax.  Any such Tax, to the extent

			withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Payee.  Any such Tax required to be withheld will be an expense of and borne by Payee.
		

		
			8.10.3  The Parties will cooperate with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested by either Party to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding Taxes.  If the withholding tax rate is reduced according to the provisions of an applicable double tax treaty or regulations applicable thereto, no deduction or withholding shall be made (or a reduced amount shall be deducted or withheld), in each case as applicable, only if the Payor is timely furnished with necessary documents or certification by the Payee issued by the tax authority certifying that the payment is exempt from tax or subject to a reduced tax rate or the Payee otherwise satisfies the requirements to obtain the treaty benefit in question.
		

		
			8.10.4  If Payor had a duty to withhold Taxes in connection with any payment it made to Payee under this Agreement but Payor failed to withhold, and such Taxes were assessed against and paid by Payor, then Payee will indemnify and hold harmless Payor from and against such Taxes, except to the extent such Taxes resulted from Payor’s negligent failure to withhold; provided, however, that Payor shall only be responsible for such Taxes to the extent such Taxes do not exceed the amount of Tax that Payor would have withheld if it had received from Payee the documentation necessary to secure any available reduction in the rate of applicable Taxes.  If Payor makes a claim under this Section 8.10.4, it will comply with the obligations imposed by Section 8.10.1 as if Payor had withheld Taxes from a payment to Payee.
		

		
			8.10.5  [...***...].  All Tax Returns reflecting any such amounts shall be filed in a manner consistent with the foregoing.
		

		
			8.10.6  “Tax” or “Taxes” means any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, withholdings, assessments or fees imposed in the nature of a tax (including penalties and additions to tax and interest thereon).  “Tax Return” shall mean any return, report, declaration or similar document filed or required to be filed with any Governmental Authority relating to Taxes.
		

		
			8.11     Currency Exchange.
		

		
			8.11.1  Currency of Payments.  All payments under this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to an account designated by the receiving Party (which account the receiving Party may update from time to time in writing).
		

		
			8.11.2  Currency Conversion.  If any amounts that are relevant to the determination of amounts to be paid under this Agreement or any calculations to be performed under this Agreement are received or paid initially reported in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, then such amounts shall be converted to their U.S. Dollar equivalent as follows:
		

		
			(a)        Janssen will notify argenx in writing of Johnson & Johnson’s Currency Hedge Rate for a given Calendar Year in advance of such Calendar Year, within [...***...] after the Currency Hedge Rate(s) are available [...***...].

			(b)       Then: (i) the Currency Hedge Rate(s) as provided in the notice to argenx will remain constant throughout the applicable Calendar Year; and (ii) Janssen shall use such Currency Hedge Rate(s) to convert non-U.S. Dollar amounts to U.S. Dollars for the purpose of calculating U.S. Collaboration Results or royalties and the achievement of Sales Milestone Events for, and Development Costs incurred during, each Calendar Quarter in the applicable Calendar Year.
		

		
			8.12     Late Payments.  If either Janssen or argenx shall fail to make a timely payment pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6 or any other provision of this Agreement, any such payment that is not paid on or before the date such payment is due under this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to [...***...] or a comparable reference interbank rate per currency or the maximum rate allowable by applicable Law, whichever is lower.

			it by its employees, agents or consultants describing such Collaboration Invention, and all Know-How relating to such Collaboration Invention to the extent necessary for the preparation, filing and maintenance of Patent Rights Covering such Collaboration Invention pursuant to Section 9.2. With respect to any Collaboration Invention disclosed by Janssen, Janssen shall promptly disclose to argenx any invention disclosures, or other similar documents, submitted to it by its employees, agents or consultants describing such Collaboration Invention, and all Know-How relating to such Collaboration Invention to the extent necessary for the preparation, filing and maintenance of Patent Rights Covering such Collaboration Invention pursuant to Section 9.2.  Any invention disclosure, or other similar document, relating to any Collaboration Invention disclosed by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Section 9.1.4 shall be the Confidential Information of the Party providing such information, except that any invention disclosure or other similar document relating to any Joint Collaboration Invention shall be the joint Confidential Information of both Parties.
		

		
			9.1.5    Right to Practice Joint Collaboration Intellectual Property.

Other than the compensation specifically and expressly stated in this Agreement, neither Party and its workers and agents will receive from the other Party or its Affiliates any further payment related to employee or agents regarding the other Party's rights and the exercise thereof in intellectual property arising from this Agreement regardless of what action the concerned Party elects to take regarding such intellectual property, including the filing of patent applications, granting of patents, and commercialization of patented inventions.
		

		
			9.2       Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights.
		

		
			9.2.1    Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to handle all communications between the Parties under this Section 9.2 through their Patent Representatives and keep such communications in strict confidence to protect their attorney-client privileged status.
		

		
			9.2.2    argenx shall have the first right to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the argenx Patent Rights that are Sole Collaboration Inventions on a worldwide basis, using outside counsel selected by argenx and acceptable to Janssen.  argenx shall provide Janssen with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on its efforts to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain argenx Patent Rights, including by providing Janssen with a copy of material communications from any patent authority regarding any argenx Patent Right, and by providing drafts of any material filings or responses to be made in advance of submitting such filings or

			responses.  argenx shall consider Janssen’s comments regarding such communications and drafts in good faith.  If argenx determines, in its sole discretion, to abandon or not maintain any argenx Patent Right in any country, then argenx shall provide Janssen with written notice of such determination within a period of time sufficiently in advance to enable Janssen to determine whether it will assume responsibility for such argenx Patent Right (which notice shall be given no later than [...***...] prior to any final deadline for any pending action or response that may be due with respect to such argenx Patent Right with the applicable patent authority).  If Janssen provides written notice to argenx that it will assume responsibility for such argenx Patent Right, argenx shall transfer such responsibility to Janssen and shall execute any documents necessary to complete such transfer.  Upon completion of such transfer, Janssen shall have the right to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Patent Right at its sole expense (which shall not be shared by the Parties as Allowable Expenses) and such Patent Right shall no longer be included in the argenx Patent Rights.
		

		
			9.2.3    Janssen shall have the sole right and authority to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Janssen Patent Rights that Cover Sole Collaboration Inventions and the Joint Collaboration Patent Rights on a worldwide basis.

			9.3       Patent Term Extensions. The JSC shall discuss and agree the strategy for applying for the extension of the term of any argenx Patent Right, Joint Collaboration Patent Right or Janssen Patent Right, such as under the Hatch-Waxman Act, the Supplementary Certificate of Protection of the Member States of the European Union and other similar measures in any other country.  If the JSC is unable to agree on such strategy, the matter shall be referred for resolution by the Executive Officers in accordance with Section 15.2.  If the Executive Officers are unable to resolve the matter, Janssen shall have the final decision making authority regarding such strategy.  Janssen shall apply for and use its reasonable efforts to obtain such an extension, and argenx hereby grants permission to Janssen to do so (and argenx agrees to cooperate with Janssen or its sublicensee, as applicable, in the exercise of such authorization and shall execute such documents and take such additional action as Janssen may reasonably request in connection therewith).  Janssen and argenx agree to cooperate with one another in obtaining any patent extension hereunder as directed by the JSC.
		

		
			9.4       Patent Certifications and Notice.  The JSC shall discuss and agree the strategy with respect to certifications, notices and patent enforcement procedures under the Hatch-Waxman Act and the BPCIA.  If the JSC is unable to agree on such strategy, the matter shall be referred for resolution by the Executive Officers in accordance with Section 15.2.  If the Executive Officers are unable to resolve the matter, Janssen shall have the final decision making authority regarding such strategy.  argenx shall cooperate, as reasonably requested by Janssen, in connection with the implementation of the strategy which is developed in accordance with this Section 9.4.  argenx hereby authorizes Janssen to: (a) provide in any Drug Approval Application or in connection with the BPCIA, a list of patents which includes argenx Patent Rights and Joint Collaboration Patent Rights that relate to the Licensed Products and such other information as Janssen believes is appropriate; (b) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, exercise any rights that may be exercisable by Janssen as patent owner under the Hatch-Waxman Act or the BPCIA; and (c) exercise any rights that may be exercisable by Janssen as reference product sponsor under the BPCIA, including, (i) providing a list of patents that relate to the Licensed Product, including argenx Patent Rights and Joint Collaboration Patent Rights, (ii) engaging in the patent resolution provisions of the BPCIA, and (iii) determining which patents will be the subject of immediate patent infringement action under Section 351(l)(6) of the BPCIA, provided that with respect to Janssen’s exercise of rights under the BPCIA consistent with this Section 9.4, Janssen shall consult with a representative of argenx designated by argenx in writing and qualified to receive confidential information pursuant to Section 365(l) of the BPCIA with respect to Janssen’s exercise of any rights exercisable as reference product sponsor including providing such representative with timely copies of material correspondence relating to such matters, providing such representative the opportunity, reasonably in advance of any related Janssen action, to comment thereon and to consult with and consider in good faith the requests and suggestions of argenx with respect to such matters.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Janssen shall not initiate any such suit or take such other action with respect to any argenx Patent Right or Joint Collaboration Patent Right without first consulting with argenx and giving good faith consideration to any reasonable objection from argenx regarding Janssen’s proposed course of action.  argenx shall cooperate in the prosecution of any suit under this Section 9.5.2 as may be reasonably requested by Janssen subject to reimbursement of argenx’s reasonable costs and expenses.  If Janssen elects not to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action with respect to an infringement described in Section 9.5.2(a), argenx shall have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate such suit or take such other action, after providing [...***...] notice to Janssen and giving good faith consideration to Janssen’s reason(s) for not initiating a suit or taking other action.
		

		
			(c)        If one Party elects to bring suit or take action under Section 9.5.2(b) against an infringement, then the other Party shall have the right, prior to commencement of the suit or action, to join any such suit or action at its own cost and expense.

			9.5.4    Allocation of Proceeds.  If either Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party in a suit or action brought under Section 9.5.2(b) or any royalties, milestones or other payments from a license agreement with a Third Party related to any alleged infringement related to a Licensed Product, whether such damages or royalties result from the infringement of argenx Patent Rights, Joint Collaboration Patent Rights or Janssen Patent Rights, such recovery (“Infringement Recovery”) shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by each of the Parties in such litigation, action or license negotiations, and any remaining amounts shall be allocated as follows:
		

		
			(a)        with respect to suits or actions brought by Janssen resulting in an Infringement Recovery relating to a Licensed Product in the U.S., [...***...] to Janssen and [...***...] to argenx;
		

		
			(b)       with respect to suits or actions brought by Janssen resulting in an Infringement Recovery relating to a Licensed Product in the OUS Territory, then [...***...]; and

			9.6       Infringement of Third Party Rights.
		

		
			9.6.1    Notification.  If any Licensed Product used or sold by either Party, its Affiliates or Sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent Right granted by a jurisdiction, the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party.

If Janssen does not commence actions to defend such claim within [...***...] after it receives notice thereof (or within [...***...] after it should have given notice thereof to argenx as required by Section 8.6.1), then, to the extent allowed by applicable Law, argenx shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of such claim by counsel of its choice, at argenx’s expense.  The non-defending Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Party conducting the defense of the claim or assertion, including if required to conduct such defense, furnishing a power of attorney.

Neither Party shall enter into any settlement of any claim described in this Section 9.6 that detrimentally affects the other Party’s material rights or interests without the other Party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  Each Party shall have the right to decline to defend or to tender defense of any claim described in this Section 9.6 upon reasonable notice to the other Party, including if the other Party fails to agree to a settlement that the declining Party proposes.  If it is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction that the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or other Exploitation of a Licensed Product pursuant to this Agreement infringes any Patent Right, copyright, trademark, data exclusivity right or trade secret right of any Third Party, then: (i) Janssen shall use Diligent Efforts to procure a license on reasonable terms from such Third Party authorizing the Parties to continue to conduct such activities; or (ii) the Parties shall modify such activities so as to render the activities non-infringing.  Any payments or expenses pursuant to a license or settlement under this Section 9.6 shall be governed by the provisions of Section 8.7 hereof.
		

		
			9.7       Patent Challenges.
		

		
			9.7.1    Third Party Patent Rights.  If either Party desires to bring an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, declaration for non-infringement, reexamination or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability of a Patent Right owned or controlled by a Third Party and having one or more claims that Cover a Licensed Product, or the use, sale, offer for sale or importation of a Licensed Product (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement under Section 9.6, in which case the provisions of Section 9.6 shall govern), such Party shall so notify the other Party and the Parties shall promptly confer to determine whether to bring such action or the manner in which to settle such action.  Janssen shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring, at its own expense and in its sole control, such action.  If Janssen does not bring such an action within [...***...] of notification thereof pursuant to this Section 9.7.1 (or earlier, if required by the nature of the proceeding), then argenx shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring such action, at argenx’s own expense.  The Party not bringing an action under this Section 9.7.1 shall be entitled to separate representation in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and shall cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action.  Any awards or amounts received in bringing any such action shall be first allocated to reimburse the initiating Party’s expenses in such action, and any remaining amounts shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 9.5.4.

			interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof (a “Third Party Patent Challenge”) (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, an action for infringement against a Third Party pursuant to Section 9.6, in which case the provisions of Section 9.6 shall govern), then the Party responsible for filing, preparing, prosecuting and maintaining such Patent Right as set forth in Section 9.2 shall control such defense at its own expense.  The controlling Party shall permit the non-controlling Party to participate in the proceeding to the extent permissible under applicable Law, and to be represented by its own counsel in such proceeding, at the non-controlling Party’s expense.  If either Party decides that it does not wish to defend against such action, then the other Party shall have a backup right to assume defense of such Third Party action at its own expense.  Any awards or amounts received in defending any such Third Party action shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 9.5.4.  Janssen shall have the sole discretion whether to defend and shall solely control any defense of a Janssen Patent Right which is the subject of a Third Party Patent Challenge.
		

		
			9.8       Trademarks.
		

		
			9.8.1    Product Trademarks.  Janssen will develop proposed names for Product Trademarks with appropriate subcontractors and will determine the ability to use the proposed Product Trademarks through legal searches.  The costs of the development and searching/clearance process of the proposed Product Trademarks shall be included as Allowable Expenses. Janssen shall select all Product Trademarks, having considered any comments from argenx.  Janssen will own all right, title and interest in and to the Product Trademarks.  Neither Party will, and will ensure that its Affiliates do not: (i) challenge any Product Trademark or the registration thereof in any country (other than based upon a trademark filed or used by argenx or Janssen prior to knowledge of the Product Trademark); (ii) file, register or maintain any registrations for any trademarks or trade names that are confusingly similar to any Product Trademark (other than for a Product), in any country without the express prior written consent of the other Party; or (iii) authorize or assist any Third Party to do the foregoing.  Janssen shall also be responsible for registering and maintaining all Product Domain Names and Websites and shall own all rights, title and interest in such Product Domain Names and Websites.  Janssen will provide updates to the JSC as reasonably requested by argenx on the activities undertaken by Janssen and its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 9.8.1.
		

		
			9.8.2    Prosecution and Maintenance.  Janssen shall be responsible for prosecution and maintenance of all Product Trademarks pertaining to the Product and for registering and maintaining all Product Domain Names and Websites.  If Janssen determines, in its sole discretion, to abandon or not maintain any Product Trademark in any country, then Janssen shall provide argenx with written notice of such determination within a period of time sufficiently in advance to enable argenx to determine whether it will assume responsibility for such Product Trademark (which notice shall be given no later than [...***...] prior to any final deadline for any pending action or response that may be due with respect to such Product Trademark with the applicable trademark authority).  If argenx provides written notice to Janssen that it will assume responsibility for such Product Trademark, Janssen shall transfer such responsibility to argenx and shall execute any documents necessary to complete such transfer.

Janssen will provide updates to the JSC as reasonably requested by argenx regarding filing and material issues pertaining to Product Trademarks.
		

		
			9.8.4    Required Use and Compliance.
		

		
			(a)        Each Party may only use the other Party’s Housemarks and the Product Trademarks solely to carry out their respective obligations under this Agreement.
		

		
			(b)       Each Party agrees that it and its Affiliates will: (i) ensure that each use of the Product Trademarks and the other Party’s Housemarks by such Party is accompanied by an acknowledgement that the Product Trademarks and/or Housemarks are owned by the other Party (i.e. the use by one Party of the other Party’s Housemark shall indicate that such Housemark is used under license); (ii) not use the Product Trademarks or the other Party’s Housemarks in a way that might materially prejudice their distinctiveness or validity or the goodwill of the other Party therein and includes the trademark registration symbol ® or TM as appropriate; and (iii) not use any trademarks or trade names so resembling any of the Product Trademarks or the other Party’s Housemarks as to be likely to cause confusion or deception; and (iv) use the other Party’s Housemarks in accordance with that Party’s reasonable quality standards as notified in writing from time to time.
		

		
			9.8.5    Housemark Licenses.
		

		
			(a)        To Janssen.  argenx hereby grants to Janssen a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the argenx Housemarks solely as set forth in the promotional materials for the Licensed Products and other materials provided to it by argenx, and solely to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize Licensed Products in accordance with this Agreement.

			9.8.7    Trademark Infringement.
		

		
			(a)        Each Party will monitor the Product Trademarks in the U.S. and Janssen will monitor the Product Trademarks in the OUS Territory against infringing uses relating to the Product.  Each Party will promptly notify the other Party of any infringement or threatened infringement of any of the Product Trademarks of which it becomes aware.  Each Party may use Third Party watch services, as necessary, to monitor filings for similar Third Party trademarks.  Except to the extent that argenx has assumed responsibility for a Product Trademark in accordance with Section 9.8.2, Janssen shall defend the Product Trademarks in the U.S. and OUS Territory against oppositions, nullity or other legal actions filed by Third Parties and shall promptly undertake to oppose, nullify or take other appropriate action, where reasonable, against similar or identical Third Party trademarks filed for products or services related to those claimed by the Product Trademarks.  Janssen will determine (after consultation with argenx and taking into account any reasonable suggestions made by argenx) what action, if any, to take in response to any such opposition, infringement or threatened infringement of any Product Trademark in accordance with this Section 9.8.7 and shall keep argenx informed as reasonably requested by argenx on the activities undertaken by it pursuant to this Section 9.8.7(a).
		

		
			(b)       Janssen shall be primarily responsible for protecting and maintaining the Product Trademarks, including all enforcement and defense thereof.  Janssen will consult with argenx and take into account any reasonable suggestions made by argenx concerning what action to take to protect and maintain the Product Trademark and shall keep argenx informed as reasonably requested by argenx on the activities undertaken by it pursuant to this Section 9.8.7(b).  argenx may, at its own expense, participate in any litigation relating to the enforcement or defense of any Product Trademark in a subordinate role and Janssen shall consider input on strategy and tactics offered by argenx.  In the event Janssen fails to initiate a suit or take other commercially reasonable action to enforce or defend any Product Trademark within [...***...] after becoming aware of the basis for such suit or actions, then argenx may, in its discretion, provide Janssen with notice of its intent to initiate a suit or take other commercially reasonable action with respect to the enforcement and defense of the Product Trademark.  If argenx provides such notice and Janssen fails to initiate a suit or take such other commercially reasonable action within [...***...] after receipt of such notice from argenx, then argenx shall have the right to initiate a suit or take other commercially reasonable actions that it believes are reasonably required to enforce and defend the Product Trademark.  The non-enforcing Party may participate in any such action and be represented in any such action by its own counsel and at its own expense and the enforcing Party shall consider the input on strategy and tactics offered by the non-enforcing Party.  The non-enforcing Party, shall at the enforcing Party’s expense, provide all assistance reasonably requested by the enforcing Party in connection with the maintenance, enforcement and defense of the Product Trademarks.
		

		
			9.8.8    Recording of License.  If argenx considers it advisable to record argenx as a licensee or “registered user” of any of the Product Trademarks under local law, Janssen shall do all such acts and sign or have signed all such documents as are reasonably proper and necessary to secure such recordation and for any changes thereof in the future.  In such event, argenx is responsible for recording this Agreement or a document reflecting this Agreement’s contents with any applicable Governmental Authority and for all associated recordation fees and related costs and expenses.

			(e)        complying with any obligation under this Agreement or the Investment Agreement; or
		

		
			(f)        to its Affiliates and existing or prospective (sub)licensees, subcontractors, consultants, agents and advisors to the extent reasonably necessary for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or the Investment Agreement, each of whom before disclosure must be bound under a written agreement containing confidentiality provisions that are consistent with those set forth in this Agreement, provided that the Receiving Party shall remain responsible for any violation of such confidentiality provisions by any Person who receives Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 10.3.1(f).
		

		
			If and whenever any Confidential Information is disclosed in accordance with this Section 10.3, such disclosure shall not cause any such information to cease to be Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement, except to the extent that such disclosure results in a public

			disclosure of such information (other than by breach of this Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party intends to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 10.3.1(c) or Section 10.3.1(d), it will, except where impracticable or not legally permitted, give [...***...] advance notice (or, if [...***...] notice is not possible under the circumstances, reasonable advance notice) to the other Party of such disclosure and use not less than the same efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information as it would to protect its own confidential information from disclosure (but no less than reasonable efforts).
		

		
			10.4     Confidential Terms.  This Agreement and all of the respective terms of this Agreement shall be treated as Confidential Information of each Party.  In addition to the disclosures permitted under Section 10.3, either Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement and other information relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent required, in the reasonable opinion of such Party’s counsel, to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or the Nasdaq Stock Market or similar security regulatory authorities or stock market in other countries, including as a result of any actions taken by a Party not in violation of this Agreement.  If a Party intends to disclose this Agreement or any of its terms or other such information in accordance with this Section 10.4, such Party will, except where impracticable or not legally permitted, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and seek confidential treatment of portions of this Agreement or such terms or information, as may be reasonably requested by the other Party in a timely manner.
		

		
			10.5     Publicity.
		

		
			10.5.1  Initial Press Release.

			10.5.2  Further Publicity.  Except as required to comply with applicable Law or as permitted by Section 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5.1, if either Party intends to issue any press release or make other public statement disclosing any information relating to this Agreement, it shall give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment and shall consider any such comments in good faith.  In addition, such Party shall not issue such press release or public statement without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If a Party intends to issue such a press release or other public statement as required to comply with applicable Law, such Party will, except where impracticable or not legally permitted, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, once information relating this Agreement has been publicly disclosed as permitted under this Agreement, neither Party shall be required to obtain the other Party’s consent or provide notice of its further public disclosure, provided that such information remains accurate and not misleading in all material respects at the time of such further public disclosure.

			agreement that was deemed “Confidential Information” under such agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information under this Agreement.
		

		
			10.7     Equitable Relief.  Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that may result to a Party upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article X.  In addition to all other remedies, a Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article X.
		

		
			10.8     Publications.
		

		
			10.8.1  Global Publication Strategy.  The JDC shall develop, and the JSC shall approve, a global publication strategy for the Development and Commercialization activities related to the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products in the Field (the “Global Publication Strategy”).  The publication and presentation of the results of Development carried out on the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products in the Field shall be governed by the Global Publication Strategy, and the Parties shall conduct such publication activities in accordance with the Global Publication Strategy.  In the event that the JSC does not reach consensus on a Global Publication Strategy, Section 2.8.1(b) shall not apply and, instead, either Party may refer such matter to the Executive Officers for resolution.  If the Executive Officers do not reach consensus on such matter within [...***...] after such matter is referred to the Executive Officers, [...***...] shall have final decision-making authority.
		

		
			10.8.2  Approval of Publications.  Before publishing or presenting the results of any Development activities related to the Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products, each Party (the “Publishing Party”) shall provide to the other Party (the “Reviewing Party”) a copy of any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or summaries of presentations that such Publishing Party intends to publish or present (“Proposed Publications”).  Each Party shall designate a Person or Persons who shall be responsible for reviewing (or having reviewed) all Proposed Publications submitted by the other Party.  No later than [...***...] after receipt of any Proposed Publications (and no later than [...***...] in the case of an abstract or presentation summary) unless such Proposed Publication would disclose the Confidential Information of any counterparty to an Existing Academic Agreement, in which case such notice period shall be extended as required in order for argenx to comply, in full, with any publication provisions of such Existing Academic Agreements.  A Reviewing Party’s designated Person shall notify the Publishing Party in writing whether the Reviewing Party has an objection to the Proposed Publications because the Reviewing Party, or any Existing Academic Agreement counterparty, reasonably believes it needs to seek patent protection.  If a Reviewing Party notifies a Publishing Party of such an objection, the Publishing Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Reviewing Party to address such concern and shall delay publication in order to enable the preparation and filing of a patent application on any patentable subject matter described in the manuscript for [...***...], or such other longer period, as may be specified in the relevant Existing Academic Agreement; provided, however, that such delay shall not prejudice a Party’s timely prosecution and maintenance of its intellectual property rights under this Agreement.  The Publishing Party shall reasonably consider any other suggestions of the Reviewing Party that are provided in a timely manner and, after doing so, may proceed with the Proposed Publication.  With respect to any proposed

			abstracts, manuscripts or summaries of presentations that investigators or other Third Parties propose to publish or present, such materials shall be subject to review under this Section.  If it is determined by a counterparty to an Existing Academic Agreement that any proposed publication would involve the disclosure of its confidential information, the Publishing Party shall comply with any request to remove such confidential information from the proposed publication to avoid such disclosure.  The Publishing Party shall appropriately acknowledge the contributions of the other Party and of any counterparties to the Existing Academic Agreements, and their employees, as may be proposed by the Reviewing Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, argenx may publish the manuscript previously disclosed to Janssen.

			failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve either Party of its obligations under this Section 12.4, except to the extent the other Party is actually, materially prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay.

			13.4.2  All rights and licenses now or hereafter granted by argenx to Janssen under or pursuant to this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the licenses granted to Janssen pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.4, are, for all purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (such Title 11, the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.  Upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event with respect to Licensor, argenx agrees that Janssen, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, argenx and Janssen intend and agree that any sale of argenx’s assets under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be subject to Janssen’s rights under Section 365(n), that Janssen cannot be compelled to accept a money satisfaction of its interests in the intellectual property licensed pursuant to this Agreement, and that any such sale therefore may not be made to a purchaser “free and clear” of Janssen’s rights under this Agreement and Section 365(n) without the express, contemporaneous consent of Janssen.  Further, each Party agrees and acknowledges that all payments by Janssen to argenx hereunder, other than the upfront payment pursuant to Section 8.1, U.S. Collaboration Results pursuant to Section 8.5, royalty payments pursuant to Section 8.6, and the Sales Milestone Payments pursuant to Section 8.3, do not constitute royalties within the meaning of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder.  Argenx shall, during the Term, create and maintain current copies or, if not amenable to copying, detailed descriptions or other appropriate embodiments, to the extent feasible, of all such intellectual property.  argenx and Janssen acknowledge and agree that "embodiments" of intellectual property within the meaning of Section 365(n) include laboratory notebooks, cell lines, product samples and inventory, research studies and data, Regulatory Documentation and Regulatory Licenses.  If (i) a case under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced by or against argenx, (ii) this Agreement is rejected as provided in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) Janssen elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, argenx (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a trustee) shall:
		

		
			(a)        provide to Janssen all such intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) held by argenx and such successors and assigns, or otherwise available to them, immediately upon Janssen’s written request.  Whenever argenx or any of its successors or assigns provides to Janssen any of the intellectual property licensed hereunder (or any embodiment thereof) pursuant to this Section 13.4.1, Janssen shall have the right to perform argenx’s obligations hereunder with respect to such intellectual property, but neither such provision nor such performance by Janssen shall release argenx from liability resulting from rejection of the license or the failure to perform such obligations; and
		

		
			(b)       not interfere with Janssen’s rights under this Agreement, or any agreement supplemental hereto, to such intellectual property (including such embodiments), including any right to obtain such intellectual property (or such embodiments) from another entity, to the extent provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.

			13.4.3  All rights, powers and remedies of Janssen provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Code) in the event of the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to argenx.  The Parties agree that they intend the following rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by law, and to be enforceable under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(n):
		

		
			(a)        the right of access to any intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) of argenx, or any Third Party with whom argenx contracts to perform an obligation of argenx under this Agreement, and, in the case of the Third Party, which is necessary for the manufacture, use, sale, import or export of Licensed Products; and
		

		
			(b)       the right to contract directly with any Third Party to complete the contracted work.
		

		
			13.5     [...***...].
		

		
			13.6     Effects of Termination or Expiration.
		

		
			13.6.1  For argenx’s Material Breach or Insolvency.  In the event of termination of this Agreement by Janssen under Section 13.2 (Termination for Material Breach) or 13.4 (Provisions for Insolvency), then, upon the effective date of such termination:
		

		
			(a)        all licenses and other rights granted to either Party pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate (save for those (i) expressly stated to survive termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.6.7, or (ii) to the extent necessary to enable either Party to perform any of its obligations that survive termination);
		

		
			(b)       Janssen shall wind down all of its Development and Commercialization activities as quickly as reasonably practicable, subject to compliance with ethical and legal requirements, and the Parties shall continue to share the reasonable costs of such activities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until such wind down is complete; and
		

		
			(c)        each Party shall use Diligent Efforts to return or destroy, at the Disclosing Party’s election, all Confidential Information of the other Party (provided that the Receiving Party may keep one copy of such Confidential Information subject to an ongoing obligation of confidentiality for archival purposes only).  This obligation to return or destroy Confidential Information does not extend to automatically generated computer back-up or archival copies generated in the ordinary course of information system’s procedures, provided that except as expressly set out herein, the Receiving Party shall not access nor make any use of such copies.
		

		
			13.6.2  For Janssen’s Material Breach or Insolvency or Termination Without Cause.  In the event of termination of this Agreement by argenx under Section 13.2 (Termination for Material Breach) or 13.4 (Provisions for Insolvency), or by Janssen under Section 13.3 (Termination by Janssen without Cause), then the following provisions of this Section 13.6.2

			shall apply upon the effective date of such termination (or upon the date expressly set forth in such provision).
		

		
			(a)        All licenses and other rights granted to either Party pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate (save for those (i) expressly stated to survive termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.6.7; (ii) which are granted pursuant to this Section 13.6.2; or (iii) to the extent necessary to enable either Party to perform any of its obligations that survive termination).
		

		
			(b)       As soon as practicable, Janssen will assign or otherwise transfer to argenx all Regulatory Documentation, Regulatory Licenses and Drug Approval Applications specific to any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product Controlled by Janssen or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees (which, for clarity, shall exclude any Regulatory Documentation, Regulatory License or Drug Approval Application for any compound or product that is neither a Licensed Compound nor a Licensed Product).  Janssen shall, and shall procure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall, take such actions and execute such instruments, assignments and documents as may be reasonably requested by argenx to effect the transfer of rights under such Regulatory Documentation, Regulatory Filings and Drug Approval Applications to argenx.  If applicable Law prevents or delays the transfer of ownership of any such Regulatory Documentation, Regulatory Filings or Drug Approval Applications to argenx, Janssen shall grant, and does hereby grant, to argenx an exclusive and irrevocable right of access and reference to such Regulatory Documentation, Regulatory Filings and Drug Approval Applications for the Licensed Compound and Licensed Products, and shall cooperate with argenx to make the benefits of such Regulatory Documentation, Regulatory Filings and Drug Approval Applications available to argenx or its designee(s) with effect from the effective date of such termination.
		

		
			(c)        Janssen hereby grants argenx (effective upon the effective date of such termination) a right of reference to any DMF or master files within the possession and Control of Janssen or its Affiliates, to the extent such DMF or master files relate to such Licensed Compound or Licensed Product.
		

		
			(d)       Following receipt of written request from argenx, Janssen shall deliver to argenx all safety data contained in the global safety database for Licensed Products and promptly transfer control of and responsibility for maintaining the global safety database for Licensed Products to argenx.
		

		
			(e)        Janssen hereby grants to argenx a perpetual, worldwide, exclusive, fully paid-up, irrevocable license with a right to sublicense (in multiple tiers) under the Janssen Intellectual Property and Janssen’s interest in Joint Intellectual Property to the extent necessary or useful for argenx to Develop, have Developed and use; to make, have made and otherwise Manufacture; and to sell, have sold, offer for sale, import and otherwise Commercialize the Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products in the Field; provided,  however, that: (i) if any such Janssen Intellectual Property was in-licensed or acquired from a Third Party and is subject to payment or other obligations to such Third Party, Janssen shall promptly disclose such obligations to argenx in writing and such Janssen Intellectual Property shall be subject to the license granted in this clause (e) only to the extent argenx agrees in writing to be bound by such obligations and reimburse all amounts owed to such Third Party as a result of argenx’s exercise

			of such license with respect to such Janssen Intellectual Property; and (ii) the Janssen Intellectual Property licensed to argenx pursuant to this clause (e) shall not include any proprietary manufacturing,  formulation or drug delivery technology of Janssen that was not actually used by or on behalf of Janssen in the Manufacture of Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products.
		

		
			(f)        If Janssen is, as of the effective date of termination of this Agreement, party to any Subcontracts or Sublicenses that pertain solely to the Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products, then Janssen will assign to argenx any such Subcontracts or Sublicenses requested by argenx, to the extent it has the right under such contract(s) to do so (and will use reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents).  If Janssen is not able to assign any such Subcontracts or Sublicenses, at argenx’s request, or in the event that any Subcontract pertains both to the Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products and to any other product of Janssen, Janssen shall use Diligent Efforts to facilitate negotiations between argenx and any of Janssen’s Subcontractors or Sublicensees that at the effective date of termination are performing any Development, Manufacturing or Commercialization activities with respect to any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product, subject to argenx’s agreement to any associated reasonable costs.
		

		
			(g)        Janssen shall transfer to argenx, at argenx’s request, any remaining inventory of Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products, and components thereof and raw materials used by or on behalf of Janssen in the Manufacture of Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products (collectively, “Inventory”), that, in each case, is in Janssen’s possession as of the effective date of termination at a price equal to [...***...]; provided,  however, that to the extent any Inventory in Janssen’s possession as of the effective date of termination is necessary for Janssen to perform its Licensed Product supply obligations under Section 13.6.2(h) and/or its Commercialization Wind-Down Period obligations under 13.6.2(i) (if any) after the effective date of termination, then Janssen’s Inventory transfer obligations under the preceding provisions of this Section 13.6.2(g) shall apply to any Inventory that is in Janssen’s possession as of the date Janssen’s obligations under Section 13.6.2(h) and/or Section 13.6.2(i) (as applicable) expire or terminate (or, if earlier, as of the date that Janssen no longer requires such Inventory for the performance of such obligations).  Within [...***...] after the effective date of termination (or within [...***...] after such later date described in the preceding proviso, if applicable), Janssen shall notify argenx (i) of the quantity(ies) and type(s) of the remaining Inventory and [...***...] and (ii) whether any Licensed Products in such Inventory will need to be relabeled or repackaged to remove any Janssen Housemarks, and argenx shall have [...***...] after receipt of such notice in which to notify Janssen of the quantity(ies) and type(s) of the remaining Inventory that argenx wishes to acquire.  If argenx does not so notify Janssen within the applicable period specified above, or notifies Janssen within the applicable period specified above that argenx elects to purchase less than all of the remaining Inventory, then (i) in the case of Inventory remaining in Janssen’s possession as of the effective date of termination, Janssen shall be entitled to elect to continue to sell such Inventory for up to [...***...] after the effective date of termination, or to destroy such inventory, and (ii) in the case of Inventory remaining in Janssen’s possession as of the date Janssen’s obligations under Section 13.6.2(h) and/or Section 13.6.2(i) (as applicable) expire or terminate (or, if earlier, as of the date that Janssen no longer requires such Inventory for the performance of such obligations), Janssen shall destroy such Inventory.  Licensed Products Commercialized by Janssen pursuant to this Section 13.6.2(g) (x) in the OUS Territory, shall be subject to payment of royalties pursuant to Section 8.6, and (y) in the U.S., shall be subject to

			(h)       Janssen shall, at argenx’s request, use Diligent Efforts to facilitate an orderly and prompt transition of any Manufacturing of Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products then being conducted by Janssen and any of its Affiliates or Third Party subcontractors to argenx or its designee.  At argenx’s request, while such Manufacturing activities are transitioned, Janssen shall supply argenx or its designee with Licensed Products at a price equivalent to [...***...], provided that Janssen shall not be obligated to continue to supply such Licensed Products after the date argenx is able to establish an alternative manufacturing source of Licensed Compound and Licensed Product sufficient to meet its needs (whether through assignment or entering into an agreement with one or more Third Parties pursuant to Section 13.6.2(f), or through establishment of its own Manufacturing facility), but in any event Janssen shall not be obligated to continue to supply such Licensed Products any longer than [...***...] following the effective date of termination of this Agreement.
		

		
			(i)         If the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product has occurred in a country prior to the effective date of termination of this Agreement, then, if requested by argenx, Janssen shall continue to Commercialize such Licensed Product in such country in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for a period requested by argenx not to exceed [...***...] from the effective date of termination of this Agreement (the “Commercialization Wind-Down Period”), provided that argenx may terminate such activities during the Commercialization Wind-Down Period upon [...***...] notice to Janssen.  Any Licensed Products Commercialized by Janssen during the Commercialization Wind-Down Period (x) in the OUS Territory, shall be subject to payment of royalties pursuant to Section 8.6, and (y) in the U.S., shall be subject to payment of royalties (including any applicable royalty rebates) pursuant to Section 8.5; provided, however, that the royalty rebates shall in no event require argenx to make a payment to Janssen.
		

		
			(j)        To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Janssen shall transfer to argenx promotional materials, sales training materials, Commercialization plans and customer contact information in Janssen’s possession that are solely related to Commercialization of the Licensed Products (subject to the transition plan agreed to by the Parties pursuant to Section 13.6.3 with respect to OUS Territory plans and information).
		

		
			(k)       If, at the date of notice of termination, any Clinical Study are on-going (i.e. first patient dosed prior to the date of notice of termination) with respect to a Licensed Product pursuant to the GDP which are under Janssen’s control or for which Janssen is the sponsor, then argenx shall notify Janssen in writing within [...***...] after the notice of termination to confirm whether argenx elects to have Janssen:
		

		
			(i)         complete such Clinical Study on behalf of argenx (unless material safety concerns regarding continuation of such Clinical Study have been identified), in which case, the Parties will negotiate in good faith a separate agreement setting forth the Parties’ responsibilities and obligations with respect to such study . If the Parties fail to reach agreement within [...***...] after argenx makes such election, Janssen may wind down such Clinical Study in accordance with Section 13.6.2(k)(ii) below;

			(ii)       wind down such Clinical Study as soon as practicable, subject to compliance with ethical and legal requirements; or
		

		
			(iii)      transfer responsibility for and control of such Clinical Study to argenx as soon as practicable.

			The costs of any such study shall be shared by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement until the effective date of termination, beyond which (1) costs of any study that argenx elects to have completed by Janssen shall be borne [...***...], (2) costs which are incurred in the winding down of any study shall be shared by the Parties in accordance with Section 8.4 of this Agreement and (3) costs of any study that argenx elects to have transferred to argenx shall be borne [...***...].  If argenx fails to notify Janssen which option (i) to (iii) it chooses within the prescribed time period set out in this Section 13.6.2(k), then Janssen may proceed on the basis that any Clinical Study should be wound down in accordance with Section 13.6.2(k)(ii).
		

		
			(l)         To the extent any Independent Study has been initiated by Janssen (i.e., first patient dosed) prior to the date of notice of termination, Janssen shall wind down such study as soon as practicable, subject to compliance with ethical and legal requirements, and shall bear any costs incurred in the winding down of such study.
		

		
			(m)      Following the date of notice of termination, Janssen shall have no obligation to initiate any Clinical Study of a Licensed Product or to commence any other new Development activities.  If argenx elects to initiate any Clinical Study of a Licensed Product or to commence any other new Development activities after the date of notice of termination, then the costs of such activity shall be borne [...***...] and shall not be shared by the Parties pursuant to Section 8.4.
		

		
			(n)       Janssen shall cause to be assigned to argenx all worldwide rights in and to any Product Trademarks and Product Domain Names and Websites.

Such transition plan will include, at Janssen’s election, either a transfer of the existing OUS Territory Commercialization plans and customer contact information or a process by which the Parties will work together in good faith to develop new OUS Territory Commercialization plans and customer contact information for argenx.   Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Article XIII, any costs incurred by the Parties between the date of notice of termination and the effective date of termination to conduct activities pursuant to this Article XIII shall be shared in accordance with this Agreement, as applicable, and thereafter each Party shall bear its own costs.

As used herein, the “HSR Clearance Date” means such time as: (a) the Parties shall have complied with all applicable requirements of the HSR Act; (b) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated early; (c) no judicial or administrative proceeding opposing consummation of all or any part of this

			Agreement or the Investment Agreement shall be pending; (d) no injunction (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Investment Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) shall be in effect; and (e) no requirements or conditions shall have been formally requested or imposed by the DOJ or FTC in connection therewith that are not reasonably and mutually satisfactory to the Parties (collectively, the “HSR Conditions”).  In the event that the HSR Clearance Date has not occurred by March 31, 2019, then either Party may terminate this Agreement upon notice, in which case, all provisions of this Agreement shall terminate and be of no force or effect whatsoever, except only that any liability of either Party for failing to comply with this Section 14.1 shall survive.
		

		
			14.2     HSR Filing.  Both Parties shall promptly file following the Execution Date (and in any event, within [...***...] after the Execution Date) their respective pre-merger notification and report forms (“HSR Forms”) with the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with the Transactions to the extent applicable. Neither Party shall request early termination of the initial HSR Act waiting period in their respective HSR Form.
		

		
			14.3     Cooperation.
		

		
			14.3.1  The Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to promptly obtain the HSR Conditions for the consummation of the Transactions to the extent applicable and shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC and the DOJ and shall comply promptly with any such inquiry or request.  The Parties shall instruct their respective counsel to coordinate and cooperate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate and expedite the identification and resolution of any such issues and, consequently, the expiration of the applicable HSR Act waiting period.  In the context of this Section 14.3, all reasonable efforts and cooperation include counsel’s undertaking: (i) to reasonably keep each other informed of communications received from and submitted to personnel of the FTC, the DOJ or any other antitrust authority; and (ii) to confer with each other regarding appropriate contacts with and response to personnel of the FTC, the DOJ or any other antitrust authority and consider in good faith the views of the other Party, including all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by the other Party; provided, however, Janssen shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy for obtaining the HSR Conditions and shall lead and direct all submissions to, meetings and communications with the FTC, the DOJ or any other party in connection with antitrust matters.  Janssen shall be responsible for the applicable HSR Act filings fees in connection with the Investment Agreement and this Agreement to the extent applicable, and each Party shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of its own legal and other advice in relation to the HSR Forms submitted pursuant to the HSR Act therewith.
		

		
			14.3.2  Janssen shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such actions as may be required under the HSR Act or other antitrust laws in order to satisfy the conditions set forth in this Section 14. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the terms “commercially reasonable efforts” or “reasonable best efforts” do not require that either Party (i) offer, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any capital stock, assets, rights, products or

			15.1     Exclusive Dispute Resolution Mechanism.  The Parties agree that the procedures set forth in this Article XV shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving (i) any dispute that arises out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, excluding any Committee Matter (which shall be subject to resolution under Section 2.8.1, 2.8.2 or 2.8.3, as applicable); and (ii) any issue relating to the interpretation, application, enforcement, termination or validity of this Agreement (any dispute or issue described in clause (i) or (ii), a “Dispute”).  For clarity, a dispute regarding any of the following shall constitute a Dispute: (a) whether a matter is a Committee Matter; or (b) whether an exercise of final decision-making authority is made in accordance with Section 2.8.2, 8.7.1, 9.3, 9.4, 9.8.3 or 10.8.1, as applicable.  Any Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with this Article XV.
		

		
			15.2     Resolution by Executive Officers.  In the event of any Dispute, the Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves.  To initiate a negotiation, a Party shall give the other Party written notice of any Dispute not resolved in the normal course of business.  In the event that such Dispute is not resolved within [...***...] after such notice is received (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties), either Party shall, by written notice to the other Party, refer the Dispute to the Executive Officers for attempted resolution by good faith negotiation within [...***...] after such notice is received (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties).
		

		
			15.3     Arbitration.
		

		
			15.3.1  Arbitration.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any Dispute that has been referred to the Executive Officers for resolution in accordance with Section 15.2 and has not been resolved within the time specified in Section 15.2, shall be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules, except where those rules conflict with these provisions, in which case these provisions control.  The language of the arbitration shall be English and the seat, or legal place of arbitration, shall be New York City, New York.  All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential.
		

		
			15.3.2  Panel.  The number of arbitrators shall be three unless the aggregate damages sought by the claimant are stated to be less than [...***...], and the aggregate damages sought by the respondent/counterclaimant are stated to be less than [...***...], and neither side seeks equitable relief, in which case there shall be a single arbitrator.  In the event there are three arbitrators, each Party shall appoint a person to serve as an arbitrator within [...***...] after the respondent submits its answer and counterclaims.  The two party-appointed arbitrators shall then appoint the presiding arbitrator within [...***...] after the second party-appointed arbitrator’s

			appointment. In the event there is one arbitrator, that arbitrator shall be appointed by the Parties by mutual agreement within [...***...] after the respondent submits its answer and any counterclaims.  If any arbitrators are not selected within these time periods, the ICDR shall, at the written request of any Party, complete the appointments that have not been made.  Each arbitrator shall be a lawyer with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience with a law firm or corporate law department of over twenty five (25) lawyers or who was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction.
		

		
			15.3.3  Timing.  The Parties agree to cooperate (i) to meet with the arbitrator(s) within [...***...] of appointment; and (ii) to agree at that meeting or before upon procedures for discovery and as to the conduct of the hearing which will result in the hearing being concluded within no more than [...***...] after the first meeting with the arbitrator(s) and in the award being rendered within [...***...] of the conclusion of the hearings, or of any post-hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within [...***...] after the conclusion of the hearings.  In any event, the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to complete any arbitration under this Section 15.3 within [...***...] following the appointment of the arbitrator(s).
		

		
			15.3.4  Discovery.  In the event the Parties cannot agree upon procedures for discovery and conduct of the hearing meeting the schedule set forth in Section 15.3.3, then the arbitrator(s) shall set dates for the hearing, any post-hearing briefing, and the issuance of the award in accordance with the Section 15.3.3 schedule as closely as practical.  The arbitrator(s) shall provide for discovery according to those time limits, giving recognition to the understanding of the Parties that they contemplate reasonable discovery, including document demands and depositions, but that such discovery will be limited so that the schedule set forth in Section 15.3.3 may be met without undue burden.  The arbitrator(s) shall determine what discovery will be permitted, consistent with the goal of limiting the cost and time which the Parties must expend for discovery, provided that the arbitrator(s) shall permit such discovery as the arbitrator(s) deem necessary to permit an equitable resolution of the dispute, which may in the arbitrator(s)’ discretion include requests for admission or interrogatories.  Any written evidence originally in a language other than English shall be submitted in English translation accompanied by a copy of the document in its original language.  If the document is lengthy and relevant only in part, it is sufficient to translate only relevant parts, provided that the arbitrator(s) may require a fuller or a complete translation at the request of any party or on its own initiative.  The arbitrator(s) shall have power to exclude evidence on grounds of hearsay, prejudice beyond its probative value, redundancy, or irrelevance and no award shall be overturned by reason of any ruling on evidence.  The hearings shall be transcribed and the transcript made available to the Parties.
		

		
			15.3.5  Motions; Independent Expert.  The arbitrator(s) are expressly empowered to decide dispositive motions in advance of any hearing, including motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, and shall endeavor to decide such motions as would a Federal District Judge sitting in the jurisdiction whose substantive law governs as set forth in Section 15.3.6.  The arbitrator(s) may engage an independent expert with experience in the subject matter of the dispute to advise the arbitrator(s), but final decision-making authority shall remain in the arbitrator(s).

			15.3.6  Decision of the Arbitrator(s).  The arbitrator(s) shall decide the issues presented in accordance with the substantive law of New York and may not apply principles such as “amiable compositeur” or “natural justice and equity.”  The arbitrator(s) shall render a written opinion stating the reasons upon which the award is based.  No punitive or exemplary damages may be granted by the arbitrator(s).  The Parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be the sole, exclusive and binding remedy between them regarding any and all disputes, controversies, claims and counterclaims presented to the arbitrator(s).  The existence and content of the arbitral proceedings and any rulings or award shall be kept confidential and not be made public by either Party without the joint written consent of the Parties, except to the extent either Party is required to disclose such information by applicable Laws (or applicable rules of a public stock exchange) or disclosure is required to enforce an award, or to pursue an action in aid of arbitration or for injunctive relief.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, either Party may disclose matters relating to the arbitration or the arbitral proceedings to its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ advisors, to the extent reasonably necessary for the preparation or presentation of a claim or defense in such arbitration, each of whom before such disclosure must be bound under a written agreement containing confidentiality provisions that are consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. The costs of such arbitration, including administrative and arbitrator(s)’ fees, and the fees of any expert retained by the arbitrator(s), shall be shared [...***...].  The Parties hereby opt out of the provision of the ICDR Rules empowering the tribunal to allocate the costs of the arbitration between the Parties.
		

		
			15.3.7  Courts.  Any award of the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction for a judicial recognition of the decision and applicable orders of enforcement, and each Party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for appropriate temporary injunctive relief to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration, in each case pending resolution of any arbitration proceeding.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district at the place of arbitration for the enforcement of these provisions and the entry of judgment on any award rendered under this Agreement.
		

		
			15.3.8  EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 15.3.1.

			16.1     Assignment; Successors.  Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of the other Party; provided,  however, that either Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety without such consent (but with notice to the other Party following such assignment), to: (a) an Affiliate, as long as the assignee remains an Affiliate of the assigning Party, provided that the assigning Party shall remain responsible for the performance of, and primarily liable under, this Agreement notwithstanding such assignment; or (b) a Third Party that acquires all or substantially all of the business or consolidated assets of such Party (whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale or otherwise); provided, in each case ((a) or (b)), that if such assignment would cause

			adverse tax consequences to the non-assigning Party (or such Party’s Affiliates), as reasonably demonstrated by the non-assigning Party to the assigning Party, the Parties agree to cooperate reasonably to enable such assignment in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the non-assigning Party, including, if appropriate, indemnification by the assigning Party, [...***...].  No assignment of this Agreement shall be valid and effective unless and until the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.  Any assignment of this Agreement not in accordance with this Section 16.1 shall be null and void.

			[...***...].
		

		
			16.3     Parent Obligation.
		

		
			16.3.1  Parent irrevocably and unconditionally:
		

		
			(a)        guarantees to Janssen the full, prompt and complete performance by argenx of all of argenx’s obligations under this Agreement;
		

		
			(b)       undertakes with Janssen that if argenx does not pay any amount or perform any obligation when due under or in connection with this Agreement, Parent shall pay that amount or perform or procure the performance of that obligation as if Parent were the principal obligor; and
		

		
			(c)        undertakes to indemnify and keep indemnified Janssen against any cost, loss or liability suffered by Janssen as a consequence of a breach by argenx of any obligation guaranteed by Parent and the amount of the cost, loss or liability shall be equal to the amount that Janssen would otherwise have been entitled to recover from argenx.
		

		
			16.3.2  The guarantee contained in this Section 16.3 shall apply in respect of all obligations of argenx under this Agreement.
		

		
			16.3.3  The obligations of Parent shall not be affected by any termination or variation of this Agreement or any amendment, novation, supplement or extension of this Agreement.
		

		
			16.4     Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under, and any court action in accordance with Section 16.12 shall apply, the laws of the State of New York excluding:  (i) its conflicts of laws principles; (ii) the United Nations Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; (iii) the 1974 Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods (the “1974 Convention”); and (iv) the Protocol amending the 1974 Convention, done at Vienna April 11, 1980.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the interpretation and construction of any Patent Rights shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Patent Rights were filed or granted, as the case may be.

			16.6     Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such

			16.7     Captions.  All captions herein are for convenience only and shall not be interpreted as having any substantive meaning.
		

		
			16.8     Further Actions.  Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and to do all such other acts as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
		

		
			16.9     Amendment; No Waiver.  No waiver, modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement will be valid or effective unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of each Party (or, to the extent applicable, Parent). The failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition.
		

		
			16.10   Integration.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all previous agreements, whether written or oral.  Notwithstanding the authority granted to the Committees and any Working Groups under this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended only in writing signed by properly authorized representatives of each of argenx and Janssen.  In the event of a conflict between the GDP or the U.S. Commercialization Plan, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
		

		
			16.11   Independent Contractors; No Agency.  Neither Party shall have any responsibility for the hiring, firing or compensation of the other Party’s employees or for any employee benefits.  No employee or representative of a Party, including the argenx sales representatives, shall have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement for any sum or in any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party without said Party’s written approval.  For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Janssen’s legal relationship under this Agreement to argenx, and argenx’s legal relationship under this Agreement to Janssen, shall be that of independent contractor and shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency, and no Party shall take a position, or cause or permit any of its Affiliates, to take any position inconsistent with this Section 16.11 (including in the filing of tax returns and in the course of any audit, review or litigation) unless otherwise required by a determination of a relevant tax authority.
		

		
			16.12   Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each Party (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York, New York, with respect to actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement in which a Party brings an action in aid of arbitration, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and (iii) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court, other than an action or proceeding seeking injunctive relief or brought to enforce an arbitration ruling issued pursuant to Section 15.3.  Each Party waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought.  Each

			Party may make service on the other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 16.4.  Nothing in this Section 16.9, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.
		

		
			16.13   Execution in Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument even if both Parties have not executed the same counterpart.  Signatures provided by facsimile transmission or by email of a .pdf attachment shall be deemed to be original signatures.
		

		
			16.14   No Consequential or Punitive Damages.
		

		
			16.14.1      NEITHER PARTY HERETO NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR ANY LOSS OR INJURY TO A PARTY’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ PROFITS, BUSINESS OR GOODWILL ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES.
		

		
			16.14.2      [...***...].
		

		
			16.15   Performance by Affiliates.  To the extent that this Agreement imposes obligations on Affiliates of a Party, such Party agrees to cause its Affiliates to perform such obligations.  Each Party may use one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations and duties under this Agreement, provided that such Party provides prompt written notice to the other Party (subject to Section 3.3) and, further provided that such Party shall remain liable under this Agreement for the prompt payment and performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement.
		

		
			16.16   Force Majeure.  A Party shall not be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, except for the payment of any amounts under this Agreement, when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including fires, floods, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental Authority (each, a “Force Majeure Event”).
		

		
			16.17   Construction.  References to Sections include subsections, which are part of the related Section.  Except as otherwise explicitly specified to the contrary, (i) references to a Section, Article, Exhibit or Schedule means a Section or Article of, or a Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement and all subsections thereof, unless another agreement is specified; (ii) references to a particular statute or regulation include all rules and regulations thereunder and any successor statute, rules or regulations then in effect, in each case, including the then-current amendments thereto; (iii) words in the singular or plural form include the plural and singular form,

			Breda, the Netherlands / Ghent, Belgium – argenx (Euronext & Nasdaq: ARGX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a deep pipeline of differentiated antibody-based therapies for the treatment of severe autoimmune diseases and cancer, today announced an exclusive, global collaboration and license agreement for cusatuzumab (ARGX-110), a highly differentiated anti-CD70 SIMPLE Antibody, with Cilag GmbH International, an affiliate of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson.
		

		
			Cusatuzumab is currently in development in a Phase 1/2 combination study with Vidaza® for newly diagnosed, elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are unfit for chemotherapy.  Data announced today from the Phase 1/2 study will be presented during a workshop being held in conjunction with the 60th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition.
		

		
			“AML continues to be an aggressive and deadly cancer of the blood and bone marrow with very high relapse rates. Cusatuzumab offers a novel mode of action targeting leukemic stem cells, which are a known driver of the relapse mechanism, and has shown a compelling response rate and tolerability profile to date,” said Tim Van Hauwermeiren, CEO of argenx. “Janssen is an ideal strategic partner for us to develop this differentiated investigational therapy given its extensive clinical, regulatory and commercial expertise in oncology, and we believe that through this collaboration we are best positioned to reach the broadest number of patients as quickly as possible. The collaboration also strengthens our financial position, enabling our growth into a fully-integrated organization as we continue to exploit our deep pipeline of wholly-owned product candidates, including our lead product candidate efgartigimod which we are evaluating in four severe autoimmune indications.”
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		





 



		

			

		





		

		
			argenx and Janssen have agreed to a joint global clinical development plan to evaluate cusatuzumab in AML, MDS and other potential future indications.
		

		
			Under the terms of the agreement, Janssen will pay argenx $300 million in an upfront payment and JJDC will purchase $200 million (1,766,899) of newly issued shares representing 4.68% of argenx’s outstanding shares at a price of €100.02 per share ($113.19). argenx will be eligible to receive potentially up to $1.3 billion in development, regulatory and sales milestones, in addition to tiered, double-digit royalties. Janssen will be responsible for commercialization worldwide. argenx retains the option to participate in commercialization efforts in the U.S., where the companies have agreed to share economics 50/50 on a royalty basis and outside the U.S., Janssen will pay double-digit sales royalties to argenx.
		

		
			The transactions are subject to customary closing conditions, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, and expected to close in the first quarter of 2019.

			Addition of investigational antibody cusatuzumab to robust oncology pipeline reflects Janssen’s commitment to advance innovative therapies for blood cancers where unmet medical needs remain
		

		
			Zug, Switzerland (December X, 2018) - Cilag GmbH International, an affiliate of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, announced today it has entered into a worldwide collaboration and license agreement with argenx BVBA and argenx SE, to develop and commercialize cusatuzumab (ARGX-110). Cusatuzumab is an investigational therapeutic antibody that targets CD70, an immune checkpoint implicated in numerous cancers, including hematological malignancies. This first-in-class SIMPLE AntibodyTM is currently in Phase 1/2 clinical trials to evaluate its safety, tolerability and efficacy in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Separately, an equity investment by Johnson & Johnson Innovation - JJDC, Inc. (JJDC) will be made in argenx SE.
		

		
			Updated data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical study evaluating cusatuzumab in combination with azacytidine in newly diagnosed patients with AML unfit for intensive chemotherapy are being presented during an argenx workshop held in conjunction with the 60th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH). The data showed promising anti-leukemia activity in these patients.i
		

		
			“We believe CD70 is an important target in the biology of select cancers, and we are eager to accelerate the development of this innovative antibody together with argenx,” said Yusri Elsayed, M.D., MHSc, Ph.D., Vice President, Hematologic Malignancies Disease Area Leader, Janssen Research & Development, LLC. “Phase 1/2 data in acute myeloid leukemia showed the activity of cusatuzumab, and we hope to translate these findings to improve outcomes for patients with myeloid malignancies.”
		

		
			Under the terms of the agreement, Janssen will jointly develop and globally commercialize cusatuzumab in AML, MDS, and potential future indications, as well as next generation CD70 antibodies. Janssen will make an upfront payment of $300 million USD and additional payments based upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales milestones.

			About AML
		

		
			Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) starts in the bone marrow (the soft inner part of certain bones, where new blood cells are made), but most often it quickly moves into the blood, as well. It can sometimes spread to other parts of the body including the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), and testicles.iii
		

		
			About MDS
		

		
			Myelodysplasia Syndromes (MDS) are a group of diverse bone marrow disorders in which the bone marrow does not produce enough healthy blood cells. MDS is often referred to as a “bone marrow failure disorder”. MDS is primarily a disease of the elderly (most patients are older than age 65), but MDS can affect younger patients as well.iv
