obligations of each party under this Clause 2 shall survive the termination of the Agreement for whatever reason. 


3.  Provision of the Services  


    3.1 ICOS
shall diligently perform the Services as provided in Appendix A and shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to achieve the estimated schedules,
specifications and amounts of Product. Furthermore, ICOS shall keep SGI regularly informed of any changes to the estimated schedules for performance of the Services and provide a monthly report, in a
form agreed by the parties. 


    3.2 Due
to the unpredictable nature of the biological processes involved in the Services, the schedules set down for the performance of the Services (including, without
limitation, the dates for production and delivery of Product) set out in Appendix D are estimates only. 


    3.3 In
the event that ICOS is unable to, or notifies SGI, in writing, that it is unable, for any reason, except events of Force Majeure where Section 9.1 of this
Agreement shall be applicable, to supply agreed quantities of Product by [*], SGI may at its discretion, seek to manufacture or have manufactured
by a third party designated by SGI that quantity of the Products required by SGI that ICOS is unable to supply. Provided however, that prior to manufacture of Product by a third party, SGI and ICOS
negotiate in good faith the supply of undelivered Product by ICOS to SGI at a future date agreed upon by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on a time period for delivery of Product and SGI
determines to manufacture or have manufactured by a third party such Products, ICOS will supply SGI and/or any such third party all reasonably available information and data relating to the
Manufacturing Specifications. 


    3.4 Delivery
of bulk Product shall be FOB ICOS's premises. Risk in and title to bulk Product shall pass on delivery. Transportation of bulk Product, whether or not
under any arrangements made by ICOS on behalf of SGI, shall be made at the sole risk and expense of SGI. In the case where SGI accepts ICOS Product tests (QC Release Tests) and shipment is to be made
to a third party, "delivery" for the purposes of risk in and title to bulk Product, shall occur upon the signed acceptance of ICOS Product tests (QC Release Tests) by SGI. Unless otherwise agreed
between the parties in writing, ICOS will tender delivery to SGI upon completion of all QA and QC tests approximately six (6) to eight (8) weeks following completion of manufacture. 


    3.5 Unless
otherwise agreed, ICOS shall package and label Product for FOB delivery in accordance with its standard operating procedures. It shall be the responsibility
of SGI to provide prior written notice to ICOS of any special packaging and labeling requirements for Product. All additional costs and expenses (including reasonable profit) of whatever nature
incurred by ICOS in complying with such special requirements shall be charged to SGI in addition to the Price. 


    3.6 Upon
completion of the Services, or as soon thereafter as can be mutually agreed, ICOS will deliver to SGI a cell bank, generated by ICOS, comprised of the Cell
Line and used to provide the Services herein. 


    3.7 Joint
Communication on Manufacturing: ICOS and SGI shall communicate and cooperate on a regular basis during the provision of Services herein and in the event that
the parties observe the need for a regular and active committee, such body shall be established and meet regularly to discuss and communicate the progress of the Services.

4.  SGI Tests and Return Procedures  


    4.1 Except
where SGI has accepted ICOS Product tests and provided written notice to ICOS of such acceptance, promptly following delivery of Product, SGI shall carry out
SGI Tests. PROVIDED ALWAYS that the Product Specifications for such Product has been agreed between the parties hereto. If SGI Tests show that the Product fails to meet Product Specifications, SGI
shall give ICOS written notice thereof as soon as practicable but in no case later than [*] ([*]) [*] from the date of FOB
delivery of the Product and shall return such Product to ICOS's premises for further testing. In the absence of such written notice Product shall be deemed to have been accepted by SGI as meeting
Product Specifications. If ICOS agrees that Product returned to ICOS fails to meet Product Specifications and that such failure is not due (in whole or in part) to acts or omissions of SGI or any
third party after FOB delivery of such Product, ICOS shall at SGI's discretion replace such Product at its own cost and expense. ICOS shall be entitled to consider its other obligations and its
commercial commitments to third parties in the timing of such replacement. SGI acknowledges that there may, therefore, be a delay in the timing of the replacement of such Product; provided, however,
that such delay shall not exceed [*] from date of return to ICOS. 


    FOR
THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, WHERE THE SPECIFICATION HAS NOT BEEN AGREED BY THE PARTIES HERETO ICOS SHALL BE OBLIGED ONLY TO USE ITS REASONABLE ENDEAVORS TO PRODUCE PRODUCT THAT MEETS
DRAFT PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS. 


    4.2 If
there is any dispute concerning whether Product returned to ICOS fails to meet Product Specifications or whether such failure is due (in whole or in part) to
acts or omissions of SGI or any third party after FOB delivery of such Product, such dispute shall be referred for decision to an independent expert (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) to
be appointed by agreement between ICOS and SGI. 


    The
costs of such independent expert shall be borne by the party initiating the dispute. The decision of such independent expert shall be in writing and, save for obvious and material
error, shall be binding on both ICOS and SGI. 


    4.3 In
the event that the parties hereto agree that a shipment or batch of Product fails to meet Product Specifications, the entire shipment or batch of Product that
failed to meet Product Specifications shall either be returned to ICOS or destroyed, at ICOS's option. 



    4.4 The
provisions of Clauses 4.1 and 4.2 shall be the sole remedies available to SGI in respect of Product that fails to meet Product Specifications. 


5.  Price and Terms of Payment  


    5.1 SGI
shall pay the Price in accordance with the Terms of Payment all as specified in Appendix E. 


    5.2 Unless
otherwise indicated in writing by ICOS, all prices and charges are exclusive of State Sales Tax or of any other applicable taxes, levies, duties and fees of
whatever nature imposed by or under the authority of any government or public authority, which shall be paid by SGI (other than taxes on ICOS's income). All invoices are strictly net and payment must
be made within thirty (30) days of date of invoice. Payment shall be made without deduction, deferment, set-off, lien or counterclaim of any nature. 


    5.3 In
default of payment on due date interest shall accrue on a day to day basis with effect from the date which is [*]
([*]) [*] after the due date for payment on any amount overdue at the maximum rate allowable under Washington State Law.

or times thereafter of any other right. 


    10.3   The
illegality or invalidity of any provision (or any part thereof) of the Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of

ARTICLE 2—LICENSE    
  


    2.1.1  Grant of License.  ICOS hereby grants to LICENSEE and LICENSEE hereby accepts from ICOS, upon and
subject to the terms and conditions herein specified, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license under the Patent Rights to make, to have made, to use and to sell Licensed
Products in the Field. LICENSEE shall have the right to sublicense its foregoing license rights to the Patent Rights for the purposes of developing, manufacturing, marketing or selling Licensed
Products, the development of which was commenced by LICENSEE (and not the sublicensee) prior to entering into such sublicense. The sublicense rights here granted are limited to sublicenses undertaken
for LICENSEE to engage in its own core business and are not granted nor shall be used to materially compete with ICOS licensing of the Patent Rights herein. LICENSEE shall not use the Patent Rights
outside the field. 


    2.1.2  Grant Back to Licensor.  In the event that LICENSEE modifies the [*]
described by the Patent Rights beyond "the use" expressly allowed and licensed herein to practice the Patent Rights within the Field, Licensee agrees to grant, and hereby does grant to ICOS, an

    2.2  No Implied Rights.  Only the license granted pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement shall
be of any legal force or effect and no rights to transfer or, except as set forth in Section 2.1, sublicense the licensed rights are granted herein. No other license rights shall be granted or
created by implication, estoppel or otherwise. 


    2.3  Ownership: Enforcement.  At all times ICOS will retain ownership of the Licensed Technology and may
use, license and commercialize such Licensed Technology itself or with third parties. ICOS retains the right, at its sole discretion, to enforce, maintain and otherwise protect the Licensed
Technology. LICENSEE shall give ICOS immediate notice of any infringement by a third party of any of the Patent Rights which comes to LICENSEE'S attention during the term of this Agreement. LICENSEE
will cooperate with ICOS with respect to any actions ICOS may choose to take pursuant to this Subsection 2.3 and ICOS will reimburse LICENSEE for its reasonable costs and adjudicated claims against
SGI, all arising in this regard. 


    2.4  Delivery of Materials.  Within [*] ([*])
[*] after request by LICENSEE, ICOS shall deliver to LICENSEE the materials listed in Exhibit B. The materials shall be used in compliance with this Agreement and may
not be conveyed to other parties except for sublicensees as described herein. 


 
 

ARTICLE 3—CONSIDERATION    
  


    3.1  Milestone Payments.  Within thirty (30) days following the first achievement by LICENSEE, its
affiliates or its sublicensees of the following milestones with respect to each Licensed Product, LICENSEE shall pay to ICOS the applicable payments below: 




	3.1.1
	LICENSEE
shall pay to ICOS $[*] U.S. ([*] U.S. Dollars) upon approval to commence a
[*] or instead at ICOS discretion, a [*].



	3.1.2
	LICENSEE
shall pay to ICOS $[*] U.S. ([*] U.S. Dollars) upon [*].



	3.1.3
	LICENSEE
shall pay to ICOS $[*] U.S. ([*] U.S. Dollars) upon [*]. 





    3.2  Royalties.  LICENSEE shall pay to ICOS a royalty of [*]% on all Net Sales of
any Licensed Product (the "Royalty Rate") provided, however, that the Royalty Rate shall be [*]% for any Licensed Product
utilizing BR96. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control of Licensee, the
Royalty Rate with respect to Licensed Products for which development is to commence after the consummation of the Change in Control shall be [*]% or the median royalty rate in
all other license agreements of ICOS then in effect under which ICOS has licensed any of the Patent Rights solely and is receiving royalties, but in no event shall the Royalty Rate be
[*]%. 


    3.3  One Royalty.  No more than one royalty payment shall be due with respect to a sale of a particular
Licensed Product. No multiple royalties shall be payable because any Licensed Product, or its manufacture, sale or use is covered by more than one Valid Claim. 


    3.4  Sublicensing Obligations.  Whenever LICENSEE sublicenses any rights hereunder it shall promptly
notify ICOS of the scope of the sublicense, the sublicensee' s name and address and the description of the Licensed Product to which the sublicense pertains. LICENSEE shall remain responsible for the
sublicensee's compliance with the terms of this Agreement and shall remain responsible for paying and reporting all royalties and milestone payments due hereunder as if the milestones and sales of
Licensed Products by sublicensee were those of LICENSEE, i.e., LICENSEE shall pay all royalties set forth in 3.2 with respect to Net Sales of Licensed Products by sublicensee, report all such sales
and pay the milestone payments set forth in Section 3.1 upon the achievement of the milestones by the sublicensee. 


3





 
 
 

ARTICLE 4—PAYMENTS; REPORTS AND RECORDS    
  


    4.1  Payments: Currency.  All payments due hereunder shall be paid by wire transfer in United States
dollars in immediately available funds to an account designated by ICOS. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the payment of any royalties hereunder, such conversion shall
be made by using the exchange rate for the purchase of U.S. dollars quoted in the U.S. version of the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the calendar quarter to which such royalty
payments relate. 


    4.2  Royalty Reports and Payments.  After the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product on which
royalties are required to be paid hereunder, LICENSEE shall make quarterly written reports to ICOS within [*] ([*]) [*] after
the end of each calendar quarter, stating in each such report, by country, the number, description, and aggregate Net Sales of each Licensed Product sold during the calendar quarter, ICOS shall treat
all such reports as Confidential Information of LICENSEE. Concurrently with the making of such reports, LICENSEE shall pay ICOS the royalties specified in Section 3.3 hereof. 


    4.3  Records: Inspection.  LICENSEE shall keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records
for the purpose of determining the royalty amounts payable under this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept at the principal place of business of LICENSEE for at least three (3) years
following the end of the calendar quarter to which they pertain and will be available for inspection during such period by a representative of ICOS for the purpose of verifying the royalty reports and
payments. Such inspections shall be made during ordinary business hours. The representative may be obliged to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to commencing any such inspection.
Inspections conducted under this Section 4.3 shall be at the expense of ICOS, unless an underpayment exceeding five percent (5%) of the amount stated for any period covered by the inspection is
identified, in which case all costs relating to the inspection will be paid immediately by LICENSEE. Any underpayments or unpaid amounts discovered by such inspections or otherwise will be paid
immediately by LICENSEE, with interest from the date (s) such amount (s) were due at the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%). 


 
 

ARTICLE 5—DILIGENCE    
  


    5.1  Reasonable Efforts.  LICENSEE agrees to use reasonable efforts consistent with its prudent business
judgment to diligently develop and commercialize the Patent Rights and obtain such approvals as may be necessary for the sale of the Licensed Products in the United States and such other worldwide
markets as LICENSEE elects to commercialize the Licensed Products. 


    5.2  Reports to ICOS.  During the term of this Agreement, for all products which are produced for
commercial manufacture using the Licensed Technology and for any modification of the transcriptional regulating sequences claimed by the Licensed Patent; LICENSEE shall keep ICOS reasonably informed
of its activities subject to this Agreement, including the achievement of the milestones set forth in Section 3.1 for the commercialization of each Licensed Product. "Reasonably informed" for
the purposes of this Section 5.2 shall mean at least once per calendar year and more often if the reported events will affect the duties of the LICENSEE under this Agreement. When the
registration package requesting approval for commercial sale of each Licensed Product is first filed in each of the U.S., Europe and Japan, and in each case when approval is received therefor,
LICENSEE will promptly notify ICOS. LICENSEE shall notify ICOS within [*] ([*]) [*] after the first commercial sale of each
Licensed Product. 


 
 

ARTICLE 6—CONFIDENTIALITY    
  


    6.1  Confidential Information.  Except as expressly provided herein, the parties agree that, for the term

    6.2  Permitted Use and Disclosures.  Each party hereto may use or disclose information disclosed to it by
the other party to the extent such use or disclosure is reasonably necessary in complying with applicable law or governmental regulations or conducting clinical trials; provided that if a party is
required to make any such disclosure of another party's Confidential Information, other than pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, it will give reasonable advance notice to the latter party of such
disclosure and, will use its reasonable best efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise). 


    6.3  Confidential Terms.  Except as expressly provided herein, each party agrees not to disclose any
terms of this Agreement to any third party without the consent of the other party; provided, disclosures may be made as required by securities or other applicable laws, or to actual or prospective

instituted in bankruptcy under any insolvency law, or a receiver or custodian is appointed for such party, or proceedings are instituted by or against such party for corporate reorganization or the
dissolution of such party, which proceedings, if involuntary, shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date of filing, or if such party makes an assignment for the benefit of

    9.5  Effect of Termination.  




	(a)
	Accrued Rights and Obligations.  Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release any party hereto from
any liability which, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to the other party or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination nor preclude either party from pursuing any
rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any
breach of this Agreement and that the non-breaching party may be entitled to injunctive relief as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy
for any such breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.



	(b)
	Return of Confidential Information.  Upon any termination of this Agreement, LICENSEE and ICOS shall promptly return
to the other party all Confidential Information, (except ICOS may retain copies of any reports or records subject to Article 4).

otherwise dispose of the stock of any Licensed Product then on hand until six (6) months after such termination, subject to Articles 3 and 4 and the other applicable terms of this Agreement.



	(d)
	Licenses.  All licenses granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.
