disclosure requirements or otherwise by an authorized Public Authority. Each Party shall provide a draft of any of the aforementioned documents containing any such reference (including without limitation, a copy of this Agreement or any excerpt
hereof, proposed to be filed with any securities regulatory authority or any securities exchange) to the other Parties and their counsel as far in advance of release thereof and in sufficient time for review of such documents by the other Parties
and their counsel, and in any event not less that ***** prior to release thereof unless otherwise required by order of a Public Authority. In the event any Party objects to any such reference, the applicable document will be modified to such
Party’s reasonable satisfaction. If a Party does not deliver its written comments on such documents within ***** of receipt thereof with respect to press releases (or such shorter time as may be agreed by the Parties) and ***** with respect to

shall either (i) limit said disclosure to address the concerns of the other Party, or (ii) such dispute if not resolved by corporate counsel to the Parties, shall be resolved in accordance with the legal opinion received from a law firm that is
reasonably acceptable 

  

 39

seeking to make the disclosure and the Party objecting to the disclosure. With respect to any required filing of this Agreement with a Public Authority, the filing Party shall seek confidential treatment of portions of this Agreement and the other
Parties shall have the right to review and comment on such an application for confidential treatment prior to its being filed. 
  
 18.14 No Partnership or Agency. The Parties hereby acknowledge that while the Parties intend to cooperate as set forth in this Agreement, the
Parties are independent contractors and nothing provided in this Agreement or the performance of the Parties under this Agreement is intended or may be deemed to form (or be deemed to constitute in law or in equity) a partnership, agency, joint
venture, distributorship, fiduciary, or any other similar relationship between any of the Parties. The Parties are not affiliated and no Party has any right or authority to bind any other Party in any way. 
  
 18.15 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to take or cause to be
taken such further actions, and to execute, deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments, and to obtain such consents, as may be reasonably required or requested by another Party in order to

 This EA Financial Appendix (the “EA Financial Appendix”) is Schedule A attached to and
incorporated into the Ancillary D&L Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of February 25, 2004 by and among Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”) and Tanox, Inc. (“Tanox”) (each also singularly referred to herein as a
“Party” and collectively as the “Parties”). 
  
 This EA
Financial Appendix covers the financial planning, accounting practices and procedures to be followed in determining the “Net Sales” and related payment of royalties in the Rest of the World and the “Net Profit” or “Net
Loss” (as defined below) and sharing of revenue and costs and expenses in East Asia, each pursuant to the Agreement. For such purpose, this EA Financial Appendix sets out, among other things, the principles of reporting among the Parties
the actual results and budgeted plans, forecasts and long range plans of “TanNov” (as defined below), the frequency of reporting, the use of a single “Functional Currency” (as defined below) for determining and reporting payments
to the Parties, and other matters. The consolidated accounting construct consisting of certain Tanox and Novartis operations under the Agreement will be referred to as “TanNov”. It should be noted that “TanNov” is not a legal
entity and has been defined for identification purposes only. 
  
 The
functionality of “TanNov” relates only to East Asia (as defined in the Agreement), and to the operations of Tanox and Novartis in East Asia. Thus, references in this EA Financial Appendix to a “TanNov Party” or
“TanNov Parties” shall be construed to mean Tanox and/or Novartis (and its Affiliates), as the case may be, for purposes of this EA Financial Appendix and the Agreement, including the application of the financial definitions herein.
“TanNov” is a virtual account and not a separate auditable entity. 
  
 This EA Financial Appendix also provides agreed upon definitions of financial terms applicable to the Parties for purposes of the Agreement, and, subject to the terms of the Agreement, sets forth roles and responsibilities of the EA
Finance Sub-Committee. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this
EA Financial Appendix and the Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Agreement shall govern. 
  
 The contents of this EA Financial Appendix, and all activities hereunder, are to be governed by the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the confidentiality provisions set forth therein. 

 

	1.	Principles of Reporting 

  
 (a) East Asia 
  
 For purposes of the sharing of costs and sharing of “Net Profit” or “Net Loss” (as the case may be) in East Asia among the Parties as
provided under the Agreement and this EA Financial Appendix, the presentation of results of operations of the TanNov Parties for East Asia will be based on each TanNov Party’s respective financial information for East Asia for the
applicable period in the reporting format depicted as follows: 
  

							
	 	  	Novartis

	  	Tanox

	  	Total


	 Gross Sales (East Asia)
	  	 	  	 	  	 
	 less *****
	  	 	  	 	  	 
	 =        Net Sales (East Asia)
	  	 	  	 	  	 
	 less *****
	  	 	  	 	  	 
	 =        Gross Profit (East Asia)
	  	 	  	 	  	 
	 less *****
	  	 	  	 	  	 
	 =        Net Profit (East Asia) or Net Loss (East Asia) for purpose of TanNov profit share.
	  	 	  	 	  	 

  

 i 








 (b) Rest of World 
  
 For purposes of the payment by Novartis to Tanox of royalties for the Rest of World as provided under the Agreement and this
EA Financial Appendix, the presentation of results of operations of Novartis for the Rest of World will be based on Novartis’ financial information for the Rest of World for the applicable period in the reporting format depicted as
follows: 
  
 Gross Sales (ROW) 
 less ***** 
 =        Net Sales (ROW).

  
 (c) Generally 
  
 It is the intention of Novartis and Tanox that the interpretation of these
definitions and other matters under this EA Financial Appendix will be: (a) consistent with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied for Tanox; and (b) international accounting standards as
consistently applied (“IAS”) for Novartis. The EA Finance Sub-Committee shall ensure consistency in accounting treatment between GAAP and IAS, where possible. 
  
 If necessary a Party will make the appropriate adjustments to the formatting of financial information it supplies under the
Agreement to conform to the format of reporting results of operations for purposes of TanNov as set forth in this EA Financial Appendix. 
  
 For purposes of the definitions in this EA Financial Appendix and the calculation of applicable profit, cost, revenue and other amounts hereunder
and under the Agreement, the Parties shall eliminate, and not include in any such amounts, any inter- and intra-company transactions ***** within or among the Parties (and/or their respective Affiliates or sublicensees), including without limitation
with respect to transfer pricing, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in the Agreement or this EA Financial Appendix. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this EA Financial Appendix (but without limiting any of the provisions in Article 17
(Indemnity and Insurance) of the Agreement or Article 19 (Indemnity and Insurance) of the TCA), if any Party suffers*****: 
  

	 	(i)	***** 

  

	 	(ii)	***** 

  

	 	(iii)	***** 

  

	 	(iv)	***** 

  
 (collectively “Excluded Costs”), then any such Excluded Costs shall be solely for the account of such Party, and shall not be included in any costs or expenses for the purpose of calculating of Net Profits (East Asia) (or
Net Loss (East Asia), as the case may be), to be shared under the Agreement or this EA Financial Appendix. 
  

 ii 









	2.	Duties of the EA Finance Sub-Committee 

  
 As set forth in the Agreement, the EA Finance Sub-Committee (EA FSC) shall support the TanNov JCC and the TanNov JMC with respect to accounting and
financial determinations relating to cost and profit sharing under the Agreement and other financial matters, all in accordance with the Agreement and this EA Financial Appendix. The EA FSC shall be responsible for review and administration
