customary trade allowances, discounts (including cash and volume discounts) and
rebates actually taken or allowed and attributable specifically to Products;


             
B.         credits or allowances of
Product price given or made for rejection, recall or return of previously sold

willing purchaser at the relevant time in the relevant country.

The amount of any reduction or reversal of any accrual or
reserve related to any deduction from the amount invoiced for Products shall be
included in Net Sales in the calendar quarter in which such reduction or
reversal occurs. All calculations shall be made in accordance with GAAP.

In the case of a Combination Product for which each Active
constituting a Product and each of the Actives not constituting Products have
established market prices when sold separately, Net Sales shall be determined by
multiplying the Net Sales for each such Combination Product by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the established market price for the Products
contained in the Combination Product and the denominator of which shall be the
sum of the established market prices for the Products plus the other Actives
contained in the Combination Product. When such separate market prices are not
established, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine a fair
and equitable method of calculating Net Sales for the Combination Product in
question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Net Sales value
of a Combination Product be less than the Net Sales value of the Product
contained in the Combination Product. 




CONFIDENTIAL 

1.17      “Pricing Approval”
means subsequent to Regulatory Approval, pricing and any relevant reimbursement
approval to allow marketing and sales of Product in the given country for which
such Regulatory Approval relates. 

1.18      “Product” means any
product (including an Expression Product), reagent or Combination Product, or
part thereof, whose development, manufacture, use or sale utilizes or is derived
from the GPEx Cell Line.

the meaning set forth in Section 2.1. 

1.21      “Regulatory Approval”
means any approvals, product and/or establishment licenses, registrations or

importation, transport, promotion, marketing, distribution or sale of Products
anywhere in the world, excluding Pricing Approvals.

for human use or (B) health, safety or environmental matters generally. 

1.23      “Representatives”
means, with respect to an entity, such entity’s duly-authorized officers,
directors, employees, agents, accountants, attorneys or other professional
advisors. 

1.24      “Term” has the

ARTICLE 3 
PAYMENT 


3.1        Fees. In
consideration for the GPEx Cell Line: 

             
A.        Milestone Fees. Client shall
pay to Catalent the following milestone fees:

              (i)          
[***] payable upon the transfer of the GPEx Cell Line from Catalent’s control or
release without any cGMP manufacturing to occur at Catalent; provided that in
the event Catalent will be manufacturing at least one cGMP batch the [***]
milestone will be payable upon transfer of the GPEx Cell Line following such
manufacture;

             
(ii)           [***] upon
transfer of the GPEx components detection assay from Catalent to Client;

              (iii)         
[***] payable after the initiation of the first Phase III clinical trial (or
equivalent) of a Product or the sale of the Product by Client; and 

              (iv)         
 [***] payable upon the submission of a Biological License Application
(“BLA”) or equivalent or the sale of the Product;

              (v)         
 Following approval of the BLA or equivalent, Client shall make milestone
payments to Catalent based on Net Sales of Product on a worldwide basis
according to the following chart: 


	Total Cumulative Net Sales (Minimum) 	Total Cumulative Net Sales (Maximum) 	One-Time Milestone Payment (except as set forth
      below) 
	$0 	$24,999,999 	[***] 
	$25,000,000 	$99,999,999 	[***] 
	$100,000,000 	$299,999,999 	[***] 
	$300,000,000 	$499,999,999 	[***] 
	$500,000,000 	$699,999,999 	[***] 
	$700,000,000 	$999,999,999 	[***] 
	$1,000,000,000 	$1,000,000,000 	[***] 
	>$1,000,000,000 	>$1,000,000,000 	[***] 







CONFIDENTIAL 

For clarity, each of the one-time milestone payments in the
above chart is due to Catalent upon cumulative Net Sales of Product achieving
the minimum number of the milestone range. For example, once cumulative Net
Sales of Product reach $100,000,000 Client will pay Catalent [***]. Once
cumulative Net Sales of Product reach $300,000,000 Client will pay Catalent
[***]. For further clarity, once cumulative Net Sales of Product exceed
$1,000,000,000 Client will pay Catalent [***] for the period between the
achievement of the $1,000,000,000 milestone and [***] achieving the cumulative
$1,000,000,000 in sales. Client may elect to pay [***] as an alternative to the
payment terms set forth in subsection (v) above. 

Client shall notify Catalent of the achievement of each such
milestone within 5 business days following the completion of reasonable
requisite accounting work documenting such achievement. Such fees shall be paid
within 30 days following invoice, which invoice shall be submitted to Client by
Catalent not later than promptly following receipt of Client’s notification, and
shall be non-refundable and non-creditable. 

              B.       
Annual Maintenance Fee. Upon the transfer of the GPEx Cell Line from
Catalent’s control or release without any cGMP manufacturing to occur at
Catalent, Client shall pay Catalent an annual fee for Product maintenance the
amount of [***] per year until Regulatory Authority approval of the first
Product BLA or equivalent. Such fees shall be paid within 30 days following
invoice, which invoice shall be submitted to Client by Catalent upon the
Effective Date and upon each anniversary of the Effective Date during the Term.
An annual report shall be submitted with the annual fee which report shall
detail the location, control and ownership of the GPEx Cell Line.

3.2        Payment
Terms. Client shall make payments as directed in the applicable invoice, if
any, or otherwise as Catalent may direct from time to time. Payments shall be
made in United States dollars. If any conversion of foreign currency to United
States dollars is required in connection with payments pursuant to Section 3.1,
such conversion shall be made at the exchange rate reported in The Wall
Street Journal on the last business day of the quarterly reporting period to
which any such payment relates. In the event payment is not received by Catalent
on or before the due date, then Catalent may, in addition to any other remedies
available at equity or in law, at its option, elect to do any one or more of the
following: (A) charge interest on the outstanding sum from the due date (both
before and after any judgment) at 2% per month until paid in full (or, if less,
the maximum amount permitted by applicable laws); and/or (B) terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3.

3.3        Taxes. All
taxes, duties and other amounts assessed (excluding tax based on net income and
franchise taxes) in connection with the sale of the GPEx Cell Line to Client
hereunder are the responsibility of Client, and Client shall reimburse Catalent
for all such taxes, duties or other expenses paid by Catalent or such sums will
be added to invoices directed at Client, where applicable. If any deduction or
withholding in respect of tax or otherwise is required by law to be made from
any of the sums payable as mentioned in Section 3.1, Client shall pay to
Catalent such greater sum as will leave Catalent, after deduction or withholding
as is required to be made, with the same amount as it would have been entitled
to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or
withholding. Catalent will cooperate with Client, at Client’s request, to make
any necessary governmental filings seeking refund of or credit for any such
deduction or withholding; and will hold in trust for Client, and promptly credit
Client’s account with, any such refund received or the amount of any credit
obtained with respect to the deduction or withholding. 




CONFIDENTIAL 

3.4        Records; Audit
Rights. Client will keep complete and accurate books and records relating to
its calculation of Net Sales (including all relevant deductions) and its
achievement of the milestone events referred to in Section 3.1(A) for at least 3
years after the expiration of the year to which they relate. Upon the written
request and not more than once per calendar year, Catalent shall be entitled to
audit, or to have an independent accountant reasonably acceptable to Client
audit, such books and records. Client shall provide the auditors with access
during normal business hours to appropriate space at Client’s relevant location
and to such of the pertinent books and records of Client as may be reasonably
necessary to verify the matters in question; provided, that such auditors
shall be subject to the obligations of confidentiality at least as strict as
those set forth in this Agreement. Prior to disclosing the results of any such
audit to Catalent, the auditors shall present Client with a preliminary report
of findings and provide Client with an opportunity to respond to any questions
raised or issues identified. If an audit discloses an underpayment by Client of
any amounts paid pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, such amounts shall
be paid to Catalent within 30 days after the date Client receives the auditors’
final written report. Any fees and expenses of the audit shall be paid by
Catalent unless the audit discloses an understatement by Client of (i) any
amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.1(A) or 3.1(B) of this Agreement and/or
(ii) more than 2% of any other amounts payable pursuant to any other section of
this Agreement during such audit period, which in either case Client shall bear
the responsibility for any such reasonable fees and expenses.

REGULATORY ASSISTANCE 

 

Where the Agreement obligates Catalent to assist and/or
cooperate with Client in connection with permits, licenses, authorizations and
other Regulatory Approvals, the following financial provisions shall apply: 

	 	1. 	
      Where services relate directly to the GPEx Technology and
      are to be performed by Catalent GPEx technicians (e.g., review of cell
      line development report, review of Client’s draft Regulatory Approval
      submissions, accompanying Client to a Regulatory Authority meeting to
      answer questions relating to GPEx), Catalent will provide to Client up
      to [***] at no additional charge. Thereafter, personnel hours will be
      charged to Client at a rate of [***] (depending on level of person), up to
      a maximum of [***], to be invoiced by Catalent monthly in arrears and
      otherwise subject to Section 3.2 of the Agreement.

	 	 	 
	 	2. 	
      Where services relate to Product regulatory strategy or
      preparation of Regulatory Approval submissions on behalf of Client and are
      to be performed by Catalent’s regulatory group Catalent and Client shall
      enter into a separate services agreement setting forth the nature and
      scope of such services, the associated fees and payment terms, and such
      other types of terms and conditions as are customary in the pharmaceutical
      industry for transactions of that nature.

	 	 	 
	 	3. 	
      Where services do not fall into the provisions of
      paragraph 1 or 2 above, the parties will negotiate in good faith an
      appropriate arrangement. However, Catalent shall not be required to incur
      any material expense, whether internal or out-of-pocket, in connection
      with such services, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by
      Catalent in advance.

	 	 	 
	 	4. 	
      Whenever services being performed by Catalent personnel
      under paragraphs 1-3 above require such personnel to travel, Client will
      reimburse Catalent for all reasonable travel- related expenses incurred by
      such personnel.

	 	 	 
	 	5. 	
      Whenever services being performed by Catalent personnel
      under paragraphs 1-3 above relate to an activity that contemplates or
      results in an out-of-pocket expense, such as (solely by way of example and
      not in limitation) a filing fee to a Regulatory Authority or a third party
      testing fee, Client shall be solely responsible for payment of such
      fees.
