If any other Active Ingredient in such Combination Product is not sold separately, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by a fraction A/C where A is the invoice price of such Licensed Product if sold separately, and C is the invoice price of such Combination Product.  If neither such Licensed Product nor any other Active Ingredient in such Combination Product is sold separately, the adjustment to Net Sales shall be determined by the Parties in good faith to reasonably reflect the fair market value of the contribution of such

Licensed Product in such Combination Product to the total fair market value of such Combination Product. 

(k)With respect to any sale of any Licensed Product in a given country for any substantive consideration other than monetary consideration on arm’s length terms (which has the effect of reducing the invoiced amount below what it would have been in the absence of such non-monetary consideration), for purposes of calculating the Net Sales, such Licensed Product shall be deemed to be sold exclusively for cash at the average Net Sales price charged to Third Parties for cash sales of such Licensed Product in such country during the applicable reporting period (or if there were only de minimis cash sales in such country, at the fair market value as determined in good faith based on pricing in comparable markets).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Sales shall not include amounts (whether actually existing or deemed to exist for purposes of calculation) for Licensed Products distributed for use in Clinical Trials.

Article 4

DEVELOPMENT AND REGULATORY MATTERS

4.1General; Diligence.  

(a)Except for Five Prime’s responsibilities in the conduct of the Current Combination Trial, and Five Prime’s right to conduct other Development and regulatory activities in connection with Five Prime Development Activities as described below, and any other rights and obligations as expressly set forth in this Agreement, BMS shall have the sole right and responsibility for the Development of the Licensed Antibodies and Licensed Products under this Agreement at its own cost and expense (including responsibility for all funding, resourcing and decision-making), including whether to advance Licensed Antibodies other than FPA008 into Development; provided, that BMS’s Development of the Licensed Antibodies and Licensed Products under this Agreement is subject at all times to Section 4.1(b) below and that BMS shall conduct such Development pursuant to a Development Plan, as set forth in more detail below.  

(b)BMS, by itself or through its Affiliates and sublicensees, shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and obtain Marketing Approval for Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory, which shall include using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to: (i) perform the activities set forth in the Development Plan, (ii) Develop at least *** Licensed Antibody or Licensed Product in the Field for the purpose of obtaining Marketing Approval in the Major Markets and (iii) obtain Marketing Approval for at least *** Licensed Product in the Field in each of the Major Markets.  For clarity, it is understood and acknowledged that Commercially Reasonable Efforts in the Development of Licensed Antibodies and/or Licensed Products may include sequential implementation of Clinical Trials and/or intervals between Clinical Trials for data interpretation and clinical program planning and approval and regulatory interactions with the Regulatory Authorities.  

4.2Development Plan; Amendments to Development Plan.  

(a)The Development of Licensed Products by or on behalf of BMS and its Affiliates and sublicensees under this Agreement shall be conducted pursuant to a written development plan for each Licensed Product (each, a “Development Plan”), which shall be substantially consistent with  similar plans used by BMS for internal purposes and which shall include at a minimum: study rationale, patient population, timeline, primary endpoint, key secondary endpoint and statistical justification.  The protocol summary for each Clinical Trial conducted as part of the Development Plan will be provided to the JDC at the next JDC meeting following the availability of such summary. The initial draft Development Plan (including for the Current Combination Trial) as of the Execution Date is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit E. Five Prime has separately provided BMS with the protocol for and a summary of the status of each Current Five Prime Non-I-O Study.  Five Prime will provide BMS with any updates or

changes to any such protocol as well as material updates to each Current Five Prime Non-I-O Study as soon as practicable after they become available.  

(b)From time to time during the Term, BMS may make and implement amendments to the then-current Development Plan, subject to this Section 4.2(b) and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.  To the extent such amendments are (x) material, (y) relate to a Major Market, and (z) have not been previously communicated to Five Prime at the JDC or a Working Group, in each case, in writing (including emails or presentations), BMS shall (i) provide Five Prime with a written description of such changes and a reasonable opportunity and time period to review and comment on such material amendments prior to their implementation, of not less than ***, and the opportunity to discuss such material amendment to the Development Plan with BMS and (ii) submit such amendment, following the Five Prime review, comment and discussion period, to the applicable Working Group (or the JDC, if no applicable Working Group exists) for review and approval.  Examples of material amendments to the Development Plan include: eliminating, adding or switching Licensed Product(s) or Licensed Antibody(ies); adding or terminating or substituting a tumor type; eliminating or adding a planned Phase 2 Clinical Trial or Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial, adding or removing a randomized or control arm from a planned or ongoing Phase 2 Clinical Trial or Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial, terminating an in-progress Phase 2 Clinical Trial or Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial; eliminating, adding or materially changing the components of a Clinical Trial of a Licensed Antibody or Licensed Product in combination with BMS Pipeline Assets, or removing or adding any BMS Pipeline Assets to the Development Plan; changing the enrollment or data readout for a Clinical Trial by an amount sufficient to reasonably cause *** or more delay in the expected completion of such Clinical Trial; or modifying plans for commercial manufacturing in a manner that would reduce capacity or delay commercial availability. BMS shall consider all Five Prime comments on the amendments to the Development Plan reasonably and in good faith.  Once amendments to the Development Plan are fully reviewed and commented upon by Five Prime and approved by the applicable Working Group (or the JDC, if applicable) pursuant to this Section 4.2(b), if material, then such amended Development Plan shall replace the prior Development Plan. If the activities contemplated by the Development Plan contradict, or create inconsistencies or ambiguities with, the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

4.3Five Prime Development Activities.  

(a)Current Five Prime Non-I-O Studies. Five Prime has the right, in its sole discretion, to complete the Current Five Prime Non-I-O Studies in accordance with the then-current protocol(s).  Five Prime shall notify BMS regarding any material amendment to the protocol for, as well as any suspension or termination of, any Current Five Prime Non-I-O Study. For clarity, as between the Parties, Five Prime is responsible for all costs associated with the conduct of the Current Five Prime Non-I-O Studies, excluding all costs and expense related to drug supply of FPA008, which will be borne by BMS (and Five Prime shall not have any obligation to pay any Service Fees pursuant to Section 5.3(d) with respect thereto) except (i) to

the extent that increased drug supply of FPA008 is required as a result of a modification by Five Prime to the protocol(s) in effect as of the Execution Date with respect to the Current Five Prime Non-I-O Studies or (ii) for the randomized portion of the current Phase 1 Clinical Trial of FPA008 in rheumatoid arthritis.

(b)Current Combination Trial.  

(i)Five Prime will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete the Current Combination Trial in accordance with the Development Plan (and the timelines set forth therein).  Five Prime shall meet the following milestones with respect to the Current Combination Trial: (A) Five Prime will complete enrollment for Phase 1a on or before *** and (B) Five Prime will achieve sufficient enrollment in Phase 1b to *** on or before ***; provided, that these dates shall be tolled for amendments to the study protocol or any changes made by BMS.  In the event that Five Prime does not meet the deadlines in Section 4.3(b)(i)(A) or 4.3(b)(i)(B), after taking into account any tolling described above, BMS may upon notice to Five Prime, assume operational control of the Current Combination Trial.  For clarity, the provisions of this Section 4.3(b) do not prejudice BMS’s final decision-making authority at the JDC as set forth in Section 2.8 above regarding the Current Combination Trial; provided, that BMS may not exercise such final decision-making authority to: (A) increase Five Prime’s obligations pursuant to this Section 4.3(b), (B) assume operational control of the Current Combination Trial other than as set forth in this Section 4.3(b), or (C) cause Five Prime to perform activities that were previously out-sourced.  

(ii)In the event BMS gives notice that it will assume operational control of the Current Combination Trial as set forth in Section 4.3(b)(i), Five Prime will promptly transfer/assign to BMS: (A) the applicable IND and regulatory filings for the Current Combination Trial, to which BMS will grant Five Prime applicable rights of use or reference, to enable Five Prime to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement, (B) the data from the Current Combination Trial and (C) contracts for Third Party service providers that Five Prime has been using for the Current Combination Trial. In addition, Five Prime will conduct a technology transfer to BMS that consists of disclosing to BMS the Five Prime Licensed Know-How that is necessary or reasonably useful for BMS to continue the Current Combination Trial under the then-contemplated protocol, as well as any drug supplies, data, analysis, reports, samples, regulatory filings and any other relevant materials and information.  The costs and expenses of the foregoing transfers shall be borne solely by BMS, other than Five Prime’s internal FTE costs in making such transfers. 

(iii)BMS shall bear all costs and expenses associated with the Current Combination Trial, except that Five Prime is responsible for all internal FTE costs of Five Prime associated with such study, when conducted by Five Prime; provided, however, if BMS requests that Five Prime change the Current Combination Trial in a manner that would materially increase the number of Five Prime FTEs (such as increasing the number of patients, sites, or tumor types for the Current Combination Trial) then BMS shall reimburse Five Prime for the Five Prime

internal FTE costs associated with such change. For clarity, the cost of manufacture and supply (including shipping, insurance, taxes and duty, if applicable) of FPA008 and Nivolumab for the performance of the Current Combination Trial shall be borne solely by BMS, and Five Prime will not be required to pay any Service Fee with respect thereto; provided that costs for replacing required quantitates of FPA008 or Nivolumab for the Current Combination Trial due to wastage or loss of drug supply due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Five Prime shall be borne by Five Prime and shall not exceed the Service Fee for the equivalent quantity of FPA008 or Nivolumab, as applicable, that Five Prime would have been obligated to pay had it obtained such supply in accordance with Section 5.3(d). 

(iv)With respect to BMS’s payment obligations for the Current Combination Trial (either before or after BMS assumes operational control), Five Prime shall provide a report to BMS within *** after the end of each Calendar Quarter which shall set forth in reasonable detail all costs and expenses actually incurred during such Calendar Quarter by Five Prime (a “Quarterly Report”).  If requested by BMS, Five Prime shall provide invoices or other appropriate supporting documentation for any payments to a Third Party exceeding ***.  The Parties shall seek to resolve any questions related to such Quarterly Reports within *** following receipt by BMS of such Quarterly Report.  Based on these Quarterly Reports, the Parties’ finance teams will determine the amount, if any, owed by BMS for such Calendar Quarter and such payment will be made by BMS within *** after such reconciliation period and otherwise in accordance with Section 7.4.

(c)Five Prime Independent Development Paths Generally.  Five Prime shall have the right to conduct Non-Registrational Clinical Trials and Preclinical Studies of a Licensed Antibody or Licensed Product then being Developed or Commercialized by or on behalf of BMS or its Affiliates or sublicensees, as follows, and in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.3:

(i)in PVNS (x) as monotherapy or (y) in combination with one or more therapeutics approved for the treatment or prevention of PVNS; 

(ii)in any disease outside of Oncology (including RA, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephritis, psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, coronary arterial disease, liver fibrosis or renal fibrosis) (x) as monotherapy or (y) in combination with one or more therapeutics approved for the relevant indication (any such disease, a “Five Prime Non-Oncology Disease”); 

(iii)in combination with Nivolumab in Oncology outside of the Ono Territory (a “Nivolumab Combination”);

(vi)in combination with a Five Prime Pipeline Asset, including in Oncology (a “Five Prime Pipeline Combination”) (any of the foregoing (i) through (v) and any Permitted Registrational Studies, a “Five Prime Independent Development Path”). 

(d)Registration-Enabling Clinical Trials. 

(i)Generally.  Five Prime shall have the right to conduct Registration-Enabling Clinical Trials (1) for PVNS; and (2) in connection with a Five Prime Pipeline Combination (“Permitted Registrational Studies”).  Except for Permitted Registrational Studies, Five Prime may not initiate any Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial, convert any Non-Registrational Clinical Trial into a Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial, make any BLA filing based upon any Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial, or initiate discussions with any Regulatory Authority with the intent of discussing making a BLA filing based upon any Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial, in each case without BMS’s prior written consent, which consent will be at BMS’s sole discretion. For clarity, it shall not be a breach of the foregoing sentence for Five Prime to respond to questions and comments from a Regulatory Authority or to participate fully in discussions with a Regulatory Authority that were initiated for reasons other than discussing making a BLA filing based upon any Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial.  Five Prime shall have the right to conduct Exceptional Registrational Studies and to use the data arising from such Exceptional Registrational Studies to support an application for Marketing Approval.  

(ii)Exceptional Studies.  Notwithstanding the prohibitions or limitations regarding the conduct by Five Prime of Registrational Studies  set forth in Sections 4.3(d)(i), 4.3(e)(ii), 4.3(e)(iii), 4.3(i)(v) and 4.3(i)(vi), it shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement by Five Prime (and Five Prime may continue to conduct such Clinical Trial) in the event that a Clinical Trial that is initiated as a Non-Registrational Clinical Trial later meets the definition of a Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial without intentional design or modifications directed at converting such trial into a Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial (e.g., through extraordinary results) and without Five Prime initiating discussions with any Regulatory Authority with the intent of encouraging such Regulatory Authority to provide guidance that such Clinical Trial could or should be used to support an application for Marketing Approval; provided, that Five Prime may respond to questions or comments from a Regulatory Authority or participate fully in a discussion with a Regulatory Authority that was initiated by Five Prime for

reasons other than encouraging such Regulatory Authority to provide guidance that such Clinical Trial could or should be used to support an application for Marketing Approval. 

(e)Timing Limitations on Five Prime Independent Development Paths.  Five Prime shall not :

(i)file an IND (or foreign equivalent) to conduct clinical Development of any Licensed Product as monotherapy or in combination with another agent(s) prior to ***;

(ii)Initiate a Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial for any Five Prime Independent Development Path in the field of Immuno-Oncology before ***; or

(iii)Initiate a Registration-Enabling Clinical Trial for any Five Prime Independent Development Path, other than in Immuno-Oncology combinations (the timing restriction for which is set forth in clause (ii) above) or in PVNS (in which there is no timing restriction) before ***.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Five Prime’s filing of its first BLA with respect to a Five Prime Independent Development Path would occur less than *** prior to BMS’s expected filing of its first BLA for a Licensed Product, then Five Prime will, at BMS’s request, defer the filing of such BLA until the earlier of (1) the date BMS files a BLA for such Licensed Product or (2) *** after Five Prime’s originally planned filing date.  During such deferral, BMS may make such Licensed Product available on a compassionate use/expanded access basis program, provided that any such efforts do not limit the duration of any Regulatory Exclusivity available for such Licensed Product in the field of Oncology.

(f)Notice to BMS of Five Prime Independent Development Path; Movement to Development Plan; Substitution. At least *** prior to Five Prime’s planned Initiation of the first Clinical Trial with respect to a particular Five Prime Independent Development Path and at least *** prior to Five Prime’s planned Initiation of any subsequent Clinical Trial with respect to such Five Prime Independent Development Path, Five Prime would provide BMS written notice of such planned Clinical Trial along with a detailed protocol summary for such Clinical Trial (an “Independent Development Notice”). Five Prime would also provide BMS with relevant scientific information and pre-clinical and other data supporting such planned Clinical Trial.  BMS would have the right, exercisable within *** after the date of an Independent Development Notice, with respect to the first Clinical Trial with respect to such Five Prime Independent Development Path, and within *** days after the date of an Independent Development Notice, with respect to any subsequent Clinical Trial with respect to such Five Prime Independent Development Path, to include such Clinical Trial in the Development Plan, which it shall exercise by providing a written notice to Five Prime (a “Program Addition Notice”); provided, that BMS has the bona fide intent to Initiate a Clinical Trial within *** (subject to the completion of Five Prime’s transfer to BMS of all relevant information and

For clarity, in no event shall total milestone payments to be made with respect to a particular Licensed Product exceed $542,500,000 in the aggregate for all combination therapy(ies) of such Licensed Product and one or more other products (at least one of which is not Nivolumab) for use in the field of Oncology.

* For clarity, the first column of milestone payments in the preceding table, totaling ***, refers to first achievement of such milestone event by a particular Licensed Product in any combination therapy with any other product(s) (so long as at least one of such product(s) is not Nivolumab) in any Indication.

The second column of milestone payments in the preceding table, totaling ***, refers to first achievement of such milestone event by a particular Licensed Product in any combination therapy with any other product(s) (so long as at least one of such product(s) is not Nivolumab) in any Indication; provided, that the combination therapy is not the same as the combination therapy that already achieved the same milestone event for purposes of the first column of milestone payments. 

The third column of milestone payments in the preceding table, totaling ***, refers to first achievement of such milestone event by a particular Licensed Product in any combination therapy with any other product(s) (so long as at least one of such product(s) is not Nivolumab); provided, that such milestone is achieved in a second Indication for such combination therapy.

By way of example, for the “***” milestone event, if FPA008 + “Antibody A” achieves ***, triggering the *** milestone payment in the first column, then FPA008 + “Antibody A” cannot also trigger the payment of the *** milestone payment in the second column for such milestone event, even if FPA008 + “Antibody A” achieves ***.  FPA008 + “Antibody A” would, however, trigger the payment of the *** milestone payment in the third column, if it achieved *** prior to any other FPA008-based combination doing so (and thus triggering the milestone payment).  For clarity, the milestone events for the third column are not required to be achieved by the same combination therapy that achieved the milestone events in the first or second columns. For example, FPA008 + “Antibody A” in a first Indication could trigger the *** milestone payment and FPA008 + “Antibody B” in a first Indication (which may be the same Indication or a different Indication than the Indication for the *** milestone payment) could trigger the *** milestone payment. A subsequent FPA008 + “Antibody C” in a first Indication would not trigger the *** milestone payment for BLA Filing in US, but FPA008 + “Antibody C” in a second Indication would trigger the *** milestone payment, even though FPA008 + “Antibody C” in its first Indication had not previously triggered a milestone payment for BLA Filing in US.

For clarity, in no event shall total milestone payments to be made with respect to a particular Licensed Product exceed $340,000,000 in the aggregate for such Licensed Product in PVNS and other indications outside of Oncology. 

 

The first column of milestone payments in the immediately preceding table, totaling *** per Licensed Product, are referred to as the “PVNS Milestones.”

 

The term “Filing” as used above means the acceptance of filing of the applicable application by a Regulatory Authority.  

The term “First BLA Approval” as used above, with respect to the US, means the initial BLA Approval for the applicable Licensed Product or Licensed Product combination therapy in the US.

The term “First Marketing Approval” as used above, with respect to the EU, means a Marketing Approval for the applicable Licensed Product or Licensed Product combination therapy in at least two of the Major European Countries, and with respect to Japan, means the initial Marketing Approval for the applicable Licensed Product or Licensed Product combination therapy in Japan.

The term “Indication” as used above means, with respect to a Licensed Antibody or Licensed Product, the use of that Licensed Antibody or Licensed Product for the treatment, prevention, mitigation or cure of: (i) any cancer with a particular organ of origin; or (ii) any disease that is not a cancer.  Indications that are cancers will be deemed the same for purposes of this Agreement if the subject cancers have the same organ of origin even if they are, for example, of a different histologic or genetic subtype or line of therapy (e.g., well-differentiated and poorly differentiated gastric cancer, NSCLC and SCLC, 1st line NSCLC and 2nd line NSCLC), and will be deemed different if the subject cancers have different organs of origin (e.g., gastric cancer and

lung cancer).  Among non-solid tumor cancers, Indications for leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma, but not their subtypes or lines of therapy, shall be considered different Indications.  

The following general principles shall apply to milestone payments set forth in each of three tables in this Section 7.2: 

(i)all milestone payments and milestone caps in this Section 7.2 are on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, and each Licensed Product could, if it achieved all of the above milestone events (while complying with the specified requirements for combination therapies, diseases and Indications), trigger the payment of all of the milestone payments set forth in the three tables above; 

(ii)each milestone payment in each table shall be paid only once with respect to a given Licensed Product, regardless of whether such Licensed Product is approved for use in different presentations, formulations, dosages or as a fixed dose combination product; provided, that this shall not alter the provisions of this Section 7.2 that allow for the same Licensed Product to receive multiple milestone payments, as set forth in the tables above, with respect to its use in different diseases or Indications, or its use as part of different combination therapies; 

(iii)each milestone event may be achieved by a different Licensed Product and/or Licensed Product combination therapy that achieves any other milestone events or triggers any other milestone payments in the relevant table; provided that in the event that development of a Licensed Product is discontinued, milestone payments previously paid for such Licensed Product would be credited against the milestone payments due on account of the subsequent Licensed Product to achieve the milestone event for which such milestone payment was made; 

(iv)in the event a Licensed Product or Licensed Product combination (A) achieves an “***” milestone event before it achieves the “***” milestone event, then such “***” milestone event shall be deemed achieved, and the corresponding milestone payment shall become due and payable within *** subsequent to the achievement of the “***” milestone date, (B) achieves a *** (as applicable) milestone event before achieving the “***” and/or “***” milestone event(s), then each of such milestone event(s) shall be deemed achieved, and the corresponding milestone payment(s) shall become due and payable within *** of achieving the *** (as applicable) milestone event; 

(v)the terms “1st Indication,” “2nd Indication”, “3rd Indication”, “1st Non-Oncology Indication other than PVNS” and “2nd Non-Oncology Indication other than PVNS” do not each necessarily refer to the same Indication with respect to different milestone events, but rather to the order in which a particular milestone event is achieved with respect to a particular Licensed Product (or Licensed Product combination therapy) for multiple Indications.  For example, if BLAs are filed in the US for FPA008 + Nivolumab first in lung cancer, second in breast cancer and third in brain cancer, those are the respective 1st Indication, 2nd Indication and 3rd Indication for FPA008 + Nivolumab for BLA Filing in the US milestone events in the first table, but if

BLAs are approved in the US for FPA008 + Nivolumab in the following order, first in breast cancer, second in lung cancer and third in pancreatic cancer, then those are the respective 1st Indication, 2nd Indication and 3rd Indication for FPA008 + Nivolumab for the BLA Approval in the US milestone events in the first table;

(vi)In the event that a milestone event (other than for a PVNS Milestone) is achieved by Five Prime acting within its development rights with respect to a Five Prime Independent Development Path, the milestone payment associated with such milestone shall become payable by BMS to Five Prime as provided in Section 4.4(a) and 4.4(b).  For clarity, for milestone events for PVNS Milestones that are achieved in the Five Prime Independent Development Path, BMS shall pay the corresponding milestone payment without deferral under Section 4.4(a) or 4.4(b), as set forth in this Section 7.2; and

(vii)In the event of a Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial, any milestone event related to Initiation of a Phase 2 Clinical Trial shall be achieved upon the first dosing of the first human subject in the Phase 2 portion of such Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial (as identified in the applicable protocol). In the event of a Phase 2/3 Clinical Trial, any milestone event related to Initiation of a Phase 3 Clinical Trial shall be achieved upon the first dosing of the first human subject in the Phase 3 portion of such Phase 2/3 Clinical Trial (as identified in the applicable protocol). 

7.3Royalty Payments. 

(a)Royalty Rates.  Subject to the other terms of this Section 7.3, during the applicable Royalty Term, BMS shall make quarterly non-refundable, non-creditable royalty payments to Five Prime. The royalty payable with respect to each particular Licensed Product shall be based on the level of total worldwide Net Sales of such Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory in a given Calendar Quarter, with the royalty rate tiered based upon the level of such total worldwide Net Sales of such Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory in such Calendar Quarter by BMS, its Affiliates or sublicensees.  Royalties shall be calculated by multiplying the applicable royalty rates by the corresponding amount of the portion of Net Sales of the applicable Licensed Product within each of the Net Sales tiers during such Calendar Quarter as set forth below. 

(i)Base Royalty.  BMS shall pay royalties to Five Prime, based on the following royalty rates, with respect to all worldwide Net Sales of each Licensed Product:

		
	
Portion of total worldwide Net Sales in a Calendar Quarter for such Licensed Product that falls within the following tiers:
	
Percentage of Net Sales Rate

(ii)Five Prime’s Exercise of Co-Promote Option; Incremental Royalty.  Subject to Section 7.3(b), if Five Prime has exercised its Co-Promote Option under Section 6.5 with respect to a particular Licensed Product, then in addition to the royalties paid pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i), BMS shall pay an extra royalty to Five Prime, at a rate of *** of Net Sales of such Licensed Product in the Co-Promotion Territory (“Incremental Royalty”). The Incremental Royalty with respect to a particular Licensed Product shall terminate if Five Prime terminates its Co-Promotion rights and obligations with respect to such Licensed Product as described in Section 6.5(d)(iii), or if BMS terminates the Co-Promotion Agreement with respect to such Licensed Product as described in Section 6.5(d)(ii) or Section 6.5(d)(iv), but in each case, not including a Royalty Retention.  For clarity, the Incremental Royalty is in compensation to Five Prime for performing its Co-Promotion activities and is not related to Patents that Cover a Licensed Product.  An example of the calculation of the royalty payments due hereunder is shown in Exhibit F.

(b)Royalty Term.  BMS’s royalty payment obligations under Section 7.3(a)(i) of this Agreement shall commence upon the First Commercial Sale of the first Licensed Product anywhere in the world by BMS, its Affiliates or its sublicensees, and shall continue, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, until the latest of (i) the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim included in Five Prime Licensed Patents or Collaboration Patents in such country that Covers such Licensed Product; (ii) the expiration of any Regulatory Exclusivity granted with respect to such Licensed Product in such country; (iii) the First Commercial Sale in such country of a Biosimilar Product with respect to such Licensed Product; or (iv) twelve (12) years after the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country (the “Royalty Term”). Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to a Licensed Product in a country, BMS shall have a fully-paid-up, non-exclusive, perpetual sublicensable license under Section 3.1(a) for the making, using, selling, offering for sale and importing of such Licensed Product in such country.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, BMS’s obligation to pay Incremental Royalties under Section 7.3(a)(ii) shall continue for a given Co-Promotion Product for as long as Five Prime is Co-Promoting such Co-Promotion Product.

(c)Royalty Reductions.  

(i)Patent Expiration; Royalty Step-Down. If during the Royalty Term for a particular Licensed Product in a particular country, the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim included in Five Prime Licensed Patents or Collaboration Patents in such country that Covers such Licensed Product (or its manufacture or use) occurs at a time when the royalty reduction set forth in Section 7.3(c)(ii) is not applicable with respect to such Licensed Product in such country, then the royalties paid pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) for Net Sales of such Licensed

Product in such country shall be decreased by *** for the remainder of the Royalty Term for such Licensed Product in such country (or until the royalty reduction set forth in Section 7.3(c)(ii) becomes applicable to such Licensed Product in such country or a new Valid Claim included the Five Prime Licensed Patents or Collaboration Patents issues in such country that Covers such Licensed Product or its manufacture or use, in each case whichever happens first), to reflect the decrease in value of the licenses in Section 3.1(a) due to the lack of Patents that Cover such Licensed Product or its manufacture or use in such country.  For example, if for a particular Calendar Quarter, the worldwide Net Sales for a particular Licensed Product are ***, of which *** of such Net Sales were for the United States, and the United States was the only country in which such Licensed Product was sold where there was not any Valid Claim in the Five Prime Licensed Patents or Collaboration Patents that Cover such Licensed Product or its manufacture or use, then the royalty payment that would otherwise have been due to Five Prime pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) on account of such Net Sales is ***, *** of which would have been for Net Sales of such Licensed Product in United States; the royalty reduction specified in this Section 7.3(c)(i) would reduce such US-based royalty by *** (i.e., ***), so the royalty due to Five Prime pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) after application of this Section 7.3(c)(i) will be *** (i.e., *** minus ***). For clarity, the Incremental Royalty, which is not paid in consideration of Patents that Cover the Licensed Product, shall be unaffected by this Section 7.3(c)(i). 

(ii)Biosimilar Product. If a Licensed Product is generating Net Sales in a country during the applicable Royalty Term at a time when a Biosimilar Product with respect to such Licensed Product is being sold in such country, then the royalty rate applicable to Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country in such Calendar Quarter shall be reduced to *** of the royalty rate otherwise applicable to the Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country under Section 7.3(a)(i), for so long as the Biosimilar Product is being sold in such country.  

(iii)Third Party Royalties.  If BMS obtains a license from a Third Party under any Patent controlled by such Third Party in a country in the Territory, where, in BMS’s reasonable judgment, a license to such Patent is necessary in order to Develop or Commercialize any Licensed Antibody or Licensed Product in such country, BMS shall have the right to deduct from the royalty payment that would otherwise have been due under Section 7.3(a)(i) with respect to Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country in a particular Calendar Quarter, an amount equal to *** of the upfront payment, milestone payments, and royalties paid by BMS to such Third Party pursuant to such license on account of the sale of such Licensed Product in such country during such Calendar Quarter; provided, however, that in no event shall the royalties payable to Five Prime pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) (without taking into account any reduction pursuant to Section 7.3(c)(i) or 7.3(c)(ii)) be reduced by more than *** in any Calendar Quarter by operation of this Section 7.3(c)(iii); provided that any unused offsets may be rolled over and offset against amounts otherwise due to Five Prime for base royalty payments for the same Licensed Product in subsequent Calendar Quarters, but in each case still subject to the prohibition on reduction past *** in any Calendar Quarter set forth in this Section 7.3(c)(iii) and the royalty floor set forth in Section 7.3(c)(v). For clarity, except as set forth in

Section 7.4(d), Five Prime shall be responsible for all payment obligations to any Third Parties pursuant to licenses obtained by Five Prime prior to the Effective Date with respect to any intellectual property obtained from a Third Party that is included in the Five Prime Licensed Technology.

(iv)Treatment of Incremental Royalty. The Incremental Royalty for a Licensed Product is not subject to reduction for any reason, but shall be subject to termination with respect to such Licensed Product as set forth in Section 7.3(a)(ii).  

(v)Royalty Floor.  The application of all deductions under this Section 7.3(c) shall not operate in any case to reduce the royalties payable to Five Prime pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) with respect to a particular Licensed Product in a country in an applicable Calendar Quarter by more than ***; provided that any unused offsets may be rolled over and offset against amounts otherwise due to Five Prime in subsequent Calendar Quarters for royalty payments pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) on the same Licensed Product, but in each case still subject to the royalty floor set forth in this Section 7.3(c)(v). For clarity, royalties paid by BMS to Five Prime pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) for any Calendar Quarter, after application of all reductions under Section 7.3(c), shall never be less than:

		
	
Portion of total worldwide Net Sales in a Calendar Quarter for such Licensed Product that falls within the following tiers:

Concurrent with the delivery of the applicable quarterly report, BMS shall pay in Dollars all royalties due to Five Prime with respect to Net Sales by BMS, its Affiliates and their respective sublicensees for such Calendar Quarter. 

7.4Currency; Exchange Rate; Invoices.  All payments to be made by BMS to Five Prime under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars by electronic funds transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Five Prime.  Conversion of sales recorded in local currencies to Dollars shall be performed in a manner consistent with BMS’s normal practices used to prepare its audited financial statements for internal and external reporting purposes.  Five Prime may invoice BMS for amounts to be paid by BMS under this Agreement. Upon request, Five Prime will provide BMS with reasonable supporting documentation for an invoice, up to *** following issuance of the invoice.  Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Five Prime will not invoice BMS prior to *** in advance of the date such payment is due from BMS under this Agreement, and BMS will pay each invoice within *** after BMS receives such invoice. 

7.5Late Payments.  Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder that are not paid on the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: (a) *** above the prime rate as published by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, or any successor thereto, at 12:01 a.m. on the first day of each Calendar Quarter in which such payments are overdue or (b) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Laws; in each case calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent, compounded monthly.

(a)Taxes on Income.  Except as set forth in this Section 7.6, each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of any and all taxes levied on account of all payments it receives under this Agreement.  

(b)Tax Cooperation.  The Parties agree to cooperate with one another in accordance with Applicable Laws and use reasonable efforts to minimize tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of royalties, milestone payments, and other payments made by BMS to Five Prime under this Agreement.  To the extent BMS is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to Five Prime, BMS shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner, and BMS promptly shall transmit to Five Prime an official tax certificate or other evidence of such payment sufficient to enable Five Prime to claim such payment of taxes on Five Prime’s applicable tax returns.

Prime and shall provide Five Prime with a commercially reasonable period of time to claim an exemption or reduction in otherwise applicable taxes. Five Prime shall provide BMS any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for BMS to not withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty, to the extent BMS is legally able to do so.  Five Prime shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to BMS in advance of the due date.  Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of BMS if BMS is the Party bearing such withholding tax under this Section 7.6. In addition, the Parties shall cooperate in accordance with Applicable Laws to minimize indirect taxes (such as value added tax, sales tax, consumption tax and other similar taxes) in connection with this Agreement

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if BMS assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of some or all of its rights and obligations to any Person and if, as a result of such action, the withholding or deduction of tax required by Applicable Laws with respect to payments under this Agreement is increased, then any amount payable to Five Prime in the U.S. under this Agreement shall be increased to take into account such withheld taxes as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings (including withholdings on the withheld amounts), Five Prime in the U.S. receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding been made. In the event that Five Prime requests that BMS make a payment to a Five Prime account not located in the U.S., then any taxes that are required to be withheld in excess of the amount that would have been withheld had the payment been made to the U.S., shall be at the risk of and borne by Five Prime.

(d)All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such taxes, and any conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, if any, shall be borne and paid by BMS.  BMS shall prepare and timely file all tax returns required to be filed in respect of any such taxes.  The Parties shall reasonably cooperate in accordance with Applicable Laws to minimize transfer taxes in connection with this Agreement.

(e)Customs Valuations. BMS will provide Five Prime with country-specific customs valuations for Licensed Products and/or the BMS Pipeline Assets supplied by BMS, which Five Prime must use for deliveries to each country.  Five Prime must request these valuations at least thirty (30) days prior to each shipment through the BMS clinical supplies organization.

(c)Joint Patents that are not Product-Specific Patents or Five Prime Licensed Patents

(i)If either Party decides to seek any Joint Patents that would not be Product-Specific Patents or Five Prime Licensed Patents, then BMS shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to file, prosecute and maintain throughout the world, any such Joint Patents, through the Patent Firm.  If BMS elects not to exercise such right, then Five Prime shall have the right, but not the obligation, to file, prosecute and maintain throughout the world, such Joint Patent, through the Patent Firm.  The prosecuting Party shall consult with the non-prosecuting Party and keep the non-prosecuting Party reasonably informed of the status of such Joint Patents and shall direct outside counsel to promptly provide the non-prosecuting Party with copies of material correspondence received from any patent authorities in connection therewith.  In addition, the prosecuting Party shall promptly provide the non-prosecuting Party with drafts of all proposed material filings and correspondences to any patent authorities with respect to such Joint Patents for the non-prosecuting Party’s review and comment prior to the submission of such proposed filings and correspondences.  The prosecuting Party shall confer with the non-prosecuting Party and reasonably consider the non-prosecuting Party’s comments prior to submitting such filings and correspondences, provided that the non-prosecuting Party provides such comments within *** of receiving the draft filings and correspondences from the prosecuting Party.  If the non-prosecuting Party does not provide comments within such period of time, then the non-prosecuting Party shall be deemed to have no comment to such proposed filings or correspondences.  In case of disagreement between the Parties with respect to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Joint Patents, the final decision shall be made by the prosecuting Party except in the event where the non-prosecuting Party reasonably believes that the implementation of the decision proposed by the prosecuting Party would have a material detrimental effect on the scope or enforceability of the Product-Specific Patents, related Five Prime Licensed Patents or any other Patent owned or controlled by the non-prosecuting Party.  Except as provided in Section 8.3(c)(ii), the Parties shall share equally all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the prosecution and maintenance of such Joint Patents under this Section 8.3(c)(i).  The non-prosecuting party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be present at all patent office proceedings that relate to the Joint Patents under this Section 8.3(c)(i).

(ii)The prosecuting Party shall notify the non-prosecuting Party in writing of any decision not to file, or to cease prosecution and/or maintenance of, any Joint Patent in any country that is not a Product-Specific Patent or a Five Prime Licensed Patent.

In such event, the prosecuting Party shall permit the non-prosecuting Party, at its discretion and expense, to continue prosecution or maintenance of such Joint Patent in such country and the non-prosecuting Party shall cease to have any right to enforce such Joint Patent against infringement.  

(d)Unilateral BMS Pipeline Patents. With respect to the Unilateral BMS Pipeline Patents, the Parties shall have the same patent filing, prosecution and maintenance rights as are set forth in Section 8.3(a) with respect to Product-Specific Patents.

(e)Other Patents.  As between the Parties, BMS shall be responsible for filing, prosecuting and maintaining the BMS Patents, including all Collaboration Patents solely owned by BMS that are not Product-Specific Patents, at its own cost and expense.  As between the Parties, Five Prime shall be responsible for filing, prosecuting and maintaining all Five Prime Pipeline Patents, Patents included in the Five Prime Platform Technology, Unilateral Patents (unless and until such Unilateral Patents become Five Prime Licensed Patents, in which case the terms of Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(b) above shall govern, or are Unilateral BMS Pipeline Patents, in which case the terms of Section 8.3(d) shall govern), and Collaboration Patents solely owned by Five Prime that are not Product-Specific Patents, in each case at Five Prime’s own cost and expense.  

(f)Collaboration.  When a Party assumes the responsibilities for the prosecution and maintenance of a Patent under Section 8.3(a)(ii), 8.3(b)(iii) or 8.3(c)(ii), the other Party shall promptly transfer to such Party the patent prosecution files for such Patent and provide reasonable assistance in the transfer of the prosecution responsibilities.  The Party assuming such prosecution and maintenance responsibilities shall have the right to engage its own counsel to do so.    

8.4Patent Enforcement.

(a)Product Infringement.

(i)Each Party shall notify the other within *** of becoming aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Five Prime Licensed Patent or BMS Patent through the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or importation of a Licensed Product or other product containing a CSF1R Antibody or such Party’s receipt of any notice under 42 U.S.C. 262(l) (however such section may be amended from time to time during the Term) with respect to a Licensed Product (collectively, “Product Infringement”). 

(ii)BMS shall have the first right to bring and control any legal action in connection with the enforcement of Five Prime Licensed Patents and/or BMS Patents in any Product Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate, and Five Prime shall have the right to be represented in any such action by counsel of its choice.

promptly in writing and Five Prime shall have the right to bring and control any legal action in connection with such Product Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate after consultation with BMS.  

(iii)In the event of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of a Five Prime Pipeline Patent through the development, use, offer for sale or sale of the applicable Five Prime Pipeline Asset for use together with a Licensed Product or other product containing a CSF1R Antibody and such Third Party is also engaged in Product Infringement, then the Parties will confer in good faith as to how to address such infringement and Product Infringement. For clarity, Five Prime retains all rights to enforce the Five Prime Pipeline Patents with respect to any and all infringements and Five Prime does not have any obligations to BMS with respect thereto other than the obligation to confer with BMS in good faith as specified in the preceding sentence. 

(iv)Five Prime shall have the exclusive right to enforce the Five Prime Licensed Patents for any infringement that is not a Product Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate, after reasonable consultation with BMS.  BMS shall have the exclusive right to enforce the BMS Patents for any infringement that is not a Product Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate.  

(v)At the request and expense of the Party bringing the action, the other Party shall provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith, including by executing reasonably appropriate documents, cooperating in discovery and joining as a party to the action if required.  

(vi)In connection with any such proceeding, the Party bringing the action shall not enter into any settlement admitting the invalidity of, or otherwise impairing the other Party’s rights in, the Five Prime Licensed Patents or BMS Patents without the prior written consent of the other Party.  

(vii)Any recoveries resulting from enforcement action relating to a claim of Product Infringement shall be first applied against payment of each Party’s costs and expenses in connection therewith.  Any such recoveries in excess of such costs and expenses (the “Remainder”) shall be shared by the Parties as follows: *** of such Remainder shall be retained by (or if received by the other Party, paid to) the Party bringing such action, and *** of such Remainder shall be paid to the other Party.   

(b)Joint Patents that are not Product-Specific Patents or Five Prime Licensed Patents.

(i)Each Party shall notify the other within *** of becoming aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Joint Patent that is not a Product-Specific Patent or a Five Prime Licensed Patent (collectively, “Joint Patent Infringement”).

(ii)BMS shall have the first right to bring and control any legal action in connection with any Joint Patent Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate, and to join Five Prime as a party plaintiff; provided that at Five Prime’s discretion, Five Prime shall have the right to join such action, in which case the Parties shall jointly enforce such Joint Patent, using the same counsel as agreed by the Parties or separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the other Party.  All decisions in such jointly enforced suit shall be made jointly. 

(iii)If BMS is the sole enforcing Party, Five Prime shall cooperate with BMS in any such suit as reasonably requested by BMS and at BMS’s expense and shall have the right to consult with BMS and to participate in and, if appropriate, be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense.  BMS shall not, without Five Prime’s prior written consent, enter into any settlement or consent decree that requires any payment by or admits or imparts any other liability to Five Prime or admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any such Joint Patents, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If BMS has not taken steps to obtain a discontinuance of such Joint Patent Infringement or filed suit against any such Third Party infringer of such Joint Patents within *** from the date of notice of the Joint Patent Infringement, then Five Prime shall have the right to take action against such Third Party infringer.  BMS shall cooperate with Five Prime in any such suit for Joint Patent Infringement (including joining as a party plaintiff) at Five Prime’s request and expense, and shall have the right to consult with Five Prime and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense.  Five Prime shall not, without BMS’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, enter into any settlement or consent decree that requires any payment by or admits or imparts any other liability to BMS or admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any such Joint Patents. The enforcing Party under this Section 8.4(b) shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such suit.

(iv)If the Parties are jointly enforcing Joint Patents under this Section 8.4(b), then the Parties shall share equally all expenses incurred in connection with such activities.  If one Party is enforcing such Joint Patents, such Party shall be solely responsible for all expenses incurred in connection with such activities by both Parties.

(v)Any recoveries obtained by either Party as a result of any proceeding against a Third Party Infringer under this Section 8.4(b) shall be allocated as follows:

(1)If the Parties are jointly enforcing the applicable Joint Patents, then such recovery shall first be used to reimburse the Parties for all out-of-pocket litigation costs in connection with such litigation paid by the Parties, so that each Party bears the same amount of such costs (if the recoveries are insufficient to reimburse all costs), and any remaining portion of such recoveries shall be shared equally.

(2)If one Party is the enforcing Party, such recovery shall first be used to reimburse the enforcing Party for all out-of-pocket litigation costs in connection with

such litigation paid by that Party, and then to reimburse out-of-pocket litigation costs paid by the other Party, and with respect to any remaining portion of such recoveries:

(a)If BMS is the enforcing Party, Five Prime shall receive an amount equal to *** of such amount, and BMS shall receive any remaining portion of such recovery; and

(b)If Five Prime is the enforcing Party, BMS shall receive an amount equal to *** of such amount, and Five Prime shall receive any remaining portion of such recovery.

8.5Defense Against Claims of Infringement of Third Party Patents.  If a Third Party asserts that a Patent or other right owned or otherwise controlled by it is or has been infringed by the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or import of a Licensed Antibody, Licensed Product, or the CSF1R Target, the Party first obtaining knowledge of such a claim shall promptly provide the other Party written notice of such claim along with the related facts in reasonable detail.  In such event, unless either Party has an indemnification obligation pursuant to Article 12 or the Parties otherwise agree, as between the Parties BMS shall have the first right, but not the obligation, at its expense, to control the defense of such claim.  If BMS does not wish to defend such claim, or wishes to cease defending such claim, and it is not obligated to indemnify Five Prime with respect to such claim pursuant to Section 12.2, it shall notify Five Prime of such decision at least *** before any deadline for any action or filing that is required in order to preserve any rights.  Thereafter, Five Prime shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its expense, to control the defense of such claim.  Each Party shall cooperate with the defending Party, at the defending Party’s reasonable request and expense, and shall have the right to be represented separately by counsel of its own choice, but at its own expense.  The defending Party shall also control settlement of such claim; provided, however, that no settlement shall be entered into without the prior consent of the other Party if such settlement would adversely affect the rights and benefits of, or impose or adversely affect any obligations on, the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Section 8.5 and terms and conditions of Article 12, the terms and conditions of Article 12 shall prevail.

8.6Trademarks.  

(a)BMS shall have the right to brand the Licensed Products using BMS related trademarks and any other trademarks and corporate/trade names it determines in its sole discretion are appropriate to use in connection with the Licensed Products, which may vary by country or within a country (“Product Marks”); provided, however, that BMS shall provide Five Prime with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments on each proposed Product Mark, and BMS shall give due consideration to Five Prime’s comments before selecting any Product Mark.  BMS shall own all rights in the Product Marks and shall register and maintain the

(b)Neither Party shall, without the other Party’s prior written consent, use any trademarks or other marks of the other Party (including the other Party’s corporate name), trademarks, advertising taglines or slogans confusingly similar thereto, in connection with such Party’s marketing or promotion of Licensed Products under this Agreement or for any other purpose related to this Agreement, except (i) in connection with Five Prime’s Co-Promotion activities as contemplated in Section 6.5, (ii) as may be expressly authorized in writing in connection with activities under this Agreement, (iii) to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, BMS shall note on all packaging, labeling and promotional materials for Licensed Products that the Licensed Products are being sold under a license from Five Prime, (iv) to the extent required to comply with Applicable Laws and (v) as permitted in Section 9.6(b). 

(c)Each Party shall, upon the reasonable request and expense of the other Party, provide such assistance and execute such documents as are reasonably necessary for such Party to exercise its rights and/or perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 8.6; provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to take any action pursuant to Section 8.6 that such Party reasonably determines in its sole judgment and discretion conflicts with or violates any applicable court or government order or decree or Applicable Laws.

8.7Patent Term Extension. Five Prime and BMS shall each cooperate with each another and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain patent term extension (including any pediatric exclusivity extensions as may be available) or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in any country with respect to Patents covering the Licensed Products. If elections with respect to obtaining such patent term extensions are to be made, Five Prime and BMS shall discuss and make reasonable efforts to agree upon such elections; provided that BMS shall have final decision-making authority with respect any such elections to seek patent term extension or supplemental protection, provided that each such election shall be made so as to maximize the period of marketing exclusivity for the Licensed Product.  If BMS elects to extend a BMS patent in lieu of a Five Prime Licensed Patent or Collaboration Patent, then the Royalty Term set forth in Section 7.3(b) shall be extended for the period of time that the relevant Five Prime Licensed Patent or Collaboration Patent would have been extended had BMS elected to extend such Five Prime Licensed Patent or Collaboration Patent.

8.8Joint Research Agreement. This Agreement shall be understood to be a joint research agreement in accordance with 35 U.S.C. §102(c) for inventions arising under its scope.

Upon such termination for Safety Reasons, BMS shall be responsible, at its expense, for the wind-down of all Development of Licensed Products (including all Clinical Trials being conducted by or on behalf of BMS or its Affiliates or sublicensees) and all Commercialization activities for Licensed Products.

Exhibit G: Press Release

 

Bristol-Myers Squibb Enters into Exclusive Worldwide License and Collaboration Agreement with Five Prime Therapeutics for Colony Stimulating Factor 1 Receptor (CSF1R) Antibody Program

Strategic immuno-oncology collaboration focused on development of CSF1R antibody (FPA008) in combination with Opdivo (nivolumab) and other therapies with the goal of bringing new treatment options to patients

 

Five Prime to receive up to $1.74 billion for FPA008, inclusive of $350 million upfront and potential development and regulatory milestone payments; additional double-digit royalties on future sales and option to co-promote in the U.S.

 

Five Prime to continue development of FPA008 in pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) and in potential combinations with its own immuno-oncology candidates

  (NEW YORK and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA – October 15, 2015) - Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:BMY) and Five Prime Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:FPRX) today announced that they have entered into an exclusive worldwide license and collaboration agreement for the development and commercialization of Five Prime’s colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) antibody program, including FPA008 which is in Phase 1 development for immunology and oncology indications. This agreement replaces the companies’ existing clinical collaboration agreement to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of combining Opdivo (nivolumab), Bristol-Myers Squibb’s programmed-death 1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor, with FPA008 in six tumor types.

“By blocking a key mediator of immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment, CSF1R inhibition with FPA008 represents a potentially important complementary immuno-oncology mechanism of action to the T-cell directed antibodies and co-stimulatory molecules in our pipeline,” said Francis Cuss, MB BChir, FRCP, executive vice president and chief scientific

officer of Bristol-Myers Squibb.  “This agreement, which builds upon our existing relationship with Five Prime in immuno-oncology, is another important example of our commitment to expanding our presence in this space and to researching novel combination regimens.” 

 “We believe this transformational collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb for our CSF1R antibody program represents the best of both worlds in terms of maximizing the potential of FPA008,” said Lewis T. “Rusty” Williams, M.D., Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Five Prime Therapeutics. “Bristol-Myers Squibb has undisputed leadership in the immuno-oncology landscape, deep clinical development and regulatory expertise, and an established commercial infrastructure to deliver important new therapies to patients. Bristol-Myers Squibb also has a rich pipeline of clinical candidates and approved products, a number of which may have therapeutic synergy when coupled with FPA008, given the potential of CSF1R inhibition to suppress the activity and survival of tumor associated macrophages. At the same time, Five Prime will continue to conduct trials in pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) and immuno-oncology with FPA008, which is a product of our proprietary protein platform and our discovery of IL-34, one of the two ligands for CSF1R that FPA008 blocks.”

Under the terms of the license and collaboration agreement, Bristol-Myers Squibb will make an upfront payment of $350 million to Five Prime. Bristol-Myers Squibb will be responsible for development and manufacturing of FPA008 for all indications, subject to Five Prime’s option to conduct, at its own cost, certain future studies including registrational studies to support approval of FPA008 in PVNS and FPA008 in combination with Five Prime’s internal pipeline assets in immuno-oncology. Five Prime will continue to conduct the current Phase 1a/1b trial evaluating the combination of Opdivo and FPA008 in six tumor settings, which was announced as part of the companies’ initial clinical collaboration in November 2014, through to completion. Bristol-Myers Squibb will be responsible for global commercialization, and Five Prime will retain rights to a U.S. co-promotion option. In addition to the upfront payment, Five Prime will be eligible to receive up to $1.05 billion in development and regulatory milestone payments per anti-CSF1R product for oncology indications (including combinations with Opdivo and any other agent), and up to $340 million in development and regulatory milestone payments

per anti-CSF1R product for non-oncology indications, as well as double digit royalties, such royalties to be enhanced in the U.S. in the event that Five Prime exercises its co-promotion option. 

The effectiveness of the agreement is subject to clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.

About FPA008 

FPA008 is an investigational antibody that inhibits CSF1R and has been shown in preclinical models to block the activation and survival of monocytes and macrophages. Early data have shown that inhibition of CSF1R in inflamed RA joints blocks the production of inflammatory cytokines by macrophages and inhibits osteoclasts, monocyte-lineage cells that can cause bone erosions and joint destruction. Inhibition of CSF1R in preclinical models of several cancers reduces the number of immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor microenvironment, thereby facilitating an immune response against tumors. FPA008 is currently in phase 1 clinical trials in several immunology and oncology indications.

About Opdivo

Opdivo was the first PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor to receive regulatory approval anywhere in the world in July 2014, and currently has regulatory approval in more than 37 countries including the United States, Japan, and in the European Union.

In the U.S., Opdivo is indicated for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma and disease progression following Yervoy (ipilimumab) and, if BRAF V600 mutation positive, a BRAF inhibitor. Opdivo is also approved for use in combination with Yervoy, for the treatment of patients with BRAF V600 wild-type unresectable or metastatic melanoma. These indications are approved under accelerated approval based on tumor response rate and durability of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials. Opdivo is also indicated in the U.S. for the

treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. 

Bristol-Myers Squibb has a broad, global development program to study Opdivo in multiple tumor types consisting of more than 50 trials – as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies – in which more than 8,000 patients have been enrolled worldwide.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: IMMUNE-MEDIATED ADVERSE REACTIONS

YERVOY can result in severe and fatal immune-mediated adverse reactions due to T-cell activation and proliferation. These immune-mediated reactions may involve any organ system; however, the most common severe immune-mediated adverse reactions are enterocolitis, hepatitis, dermatitis (including toxic epidermal necrolysis), neuropathy, and endocrinopathy. The majority of these immune-mediated reactions initially manifested during treatment; however, a minority occurred weeks to months after discontinuation of YERVOY. 

Assess patients for signs and symptoms of enterocolitis, dermatitis, neuropathy, and endocrinopathy and evaluate clinical chemistries including liver function tests (LFTs) and thyroid function tests at baseline and before each dose.

Permanently discontinue YERVOY and initiate systemic high-dose corticosteroid therapy for severe immune-mediated reactions.

Exhibit H: Net Sales Calculation

 

Definitions

 

For purposes of the following examples, the “Licensed Product” used in the calculations is referred to as the “FPA008 Product,” meaning a Licensed Product that contains FPA008.

 

For purposes of the following examples, The “BMS Combined Product” used in the calculations is Nivolumab. The examples assume Nivolumab has received Marketing Approval for use in combination with the FPA008 Product in the relevant country, which for purposes of this example is Japan.

 

The calculations below would be performed for each applicable accounting period for which Net Sales is being determined (e.g., each Calendar Quarter) in each applicable country where (i) there are Net Sales of the relevant Licensed Product, which include discounted sales and (ii) there are Net Sales of the relevant BMS Combined Product approved for use in combination with such Licensed Product, which include discounted sales. 

 

Weighted-Average Percentage Basis Discount Calculation for BMS Combined Product

 

For one form of product:

 

For purposes of the following examples, assume that Nivolumab is sold in only one form and concentration in Japan, is packaged in vials, and the gross selling price of one vial of Nivolumab is $2800 in Japan, before any discounts. 

 

BMS sells 50,000 vials of Nivolumab to Third Parties in Japan in the applicable Calendar Quarter. If no discounts were applied, the total gross selling price in such Calendar Quarter in Japan would equal $140 million. 

 

BMS offers discounts on Nivolumab. With respect to the sales of Nivolumab during the applicable Calendar Quarter in Japan, BMS granted, allowed, or incurred $28 million in total discounts.

 

The “Weighted-Average Percentage Basis Discount” on Nivolumab sold in Japan for the Calendar Quarter therefore equals:

 

$28 million / $140 million x 100% = 20%

 

If BMS elects to discount sales of the FPA008 Product in Japan, for purposes of the calculation of Net Sales, 20% is the maximum discount that could apply to calculating such Net Sales of the FPA008 Product in Japan for the applicable Calendar Quarter, calculated as in “Weighted-Average Percentage Basis Discount Calculation for Licensed Product” below.

 

*** INDICATES MATERIAL THAT WAS OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WAS REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL WAS FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

 

 

For multiple forms of product:

 

In the event that the BMS Combined Product is sold in multiple forms (e.g., two or more types of vials with differing concentrations) then the calculation of the Weighted-Average Percentage Basis Discount on such BMS Combined Product shall be performed on each such form of the BMS Combined Product sold in the relevant country separately, and the lowest calculated Weighted-Average Percentage Basis Discount shall prevail.

 

For example, assume BMS also sold a more concentrated vialed form of Nivolumab in Japan than the form of Nivolumab that, in the previous example, had a Weighted-Average Percentage Basis Discount of 20%. 

 

BMS would perform the calculation above again for such more concentrated vialed form. If the result of such calculation were 23% for the more concentrated vialed form, then final Weighted-Average Percentage Basis Discount for Nivolumab in Japan in the applicable Calendar Quarter would remain 20%. If the result of such calculation were 19% for the more concentrated vialed form, then the final Weighted-Average Percentage Basis Discount for Nivolumab in Japan in the applicable Calendar Quarter would be 19%.

 

Weighted-Average Percentage Basis Discount Calculation for Licensed Product

 

For purposes of the following examples, assume that the FPA008 Product is sold in only one form and concentration in Japan, is packaged in vials, and the gross selling price of one vial of the FPA008 Product is $2500 in Japan, before any discounts. 

 

Assume the calculations above produced a final Weighted-Average Percentage Basis Discount for Nivolumab of 20%. 

 

BMS sells 40,000 vials of the FPA008 Product in Japan in the applicable Calendar Quarter. If no discounts were applied, the total gross selling price in such Calendar Quarter in Japan would be $100 million.  

 

When BMS makes permitted deductions under clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the definition of “Net Sales,” the maximum amount that would be permitted to be deducted for discounts granted, allowed, or incurred, with respect to sales of the FPA008 Product in Japan in the applicable Calendar Quarter, equals:

 

$100 million x 20% = $20 million

 

For example, if BMS actually granted, allowed, or incurred $30 million in discounts on the FPA008 Product sold in Japan for the relevant Calendar Quarter, BMS shall not deduct $30 million for such discounts, but may deduct the $20 million as calculated above. If BMS actually granted, allowed, or incurred $10 million in discounts on the FPA008 Product sold in Japan for the relevant Calendar Quarter, then BMS may deduct the $10 million for such discounts.
