No deduction shall be made for any item of cost incurred by any Seller in Developing or Commercializing Licensed Products except as permitted pursuant to clauses (a) to (f) of the foregoing sentence; provided that Licensed Products transferred to Buyers in connection with [***] shall give rise to Net Sales only to the extent that any Seller invoices or receives amounts therefor. If a single item falls into more than one of the categories set forth in clauses (a)-(f) above, such item may not be deducted more than once. 

Such amounts shall be determined from the books and records of the Seller, and shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP. 

Sales between Zai and its Affiliates and sublicensees shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating Net Sales except if such purchaser is a distributor to which risk of loss of such Licensed Product transfers or is an end user.

If a Licensed Product is sold in the form of a combination product containing both a Licensed Antibody and one or more Active Ingredient(s) (whether co-formulated or co-packaged) that is not a Licensed Antibody (a “Combination Product”), the Net Sales of such Licensed Product for the purpose of calculating royalties owed under this Agreement for sales of such Licensed Product, shall be determined as follows: first, Zai shall determine the actual Net Sales of such Combination Product (using the above provisions) and then such amount shall be multiplied by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the invoice price of such Licensed Product, if sold separately, and B is the total aggregate invoice price of all other Active Ingredients in such Combination Product if sold separately. In each case, A and B shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to account for dosing differences between the amounts of Active Ingredient(s) included in the Combination Product relative to the amounts of Active Ingredient(s) included in the separately sold product. 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. 

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.

1.55“Patents” means any U.S., foreign, international or regional patent application or patent in any jurisdiction (including any provisional, non-provisional, divisional, continuation or continuation-in-part application, and any patents that issue thereon); and any reissue, renewal, substitution, extension or addition of any of the foregoing patents or applications; and any foreign equivalents of any of the foregoing (as more fully set forth in this Agreement).

1.56“Patent Prosecution” means activities directed to (a) preparing, filing and prosecuting applications (of all types) for any Patent, (b) managing any interference, opposition, re-issue, reexamination, supplemental examination, invalidation proceedings (including inter partes or post-grant review proceedings), revocation, nullification, or cancellation proceeding relating to the foregoing, (c) deciding whether to abandon or maintain Patent(s), (d) listing in regulatory publications (as applicable), (e) patent term extension applications and maintenance, and (f) settling any interference, opposition, reexamination, invalidation, revocation, nullification or cancellation proceeding.

2.2Right to Sublicense.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zai shall obtain Five Prime’s prior written consent if Zai wishes to sublicense all or substantially all of Zai’s rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to any region within the Territory.

(b)Each sublicense shall be subject to a written agreement that is consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Zai shall ensure that its sublicensees comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.6No Implied Licenses; Negative Covenant.  Except as set forth herein, neither Party shall acquire any license or other intellectual property interest, by implication or otherwise, under any trademarks, Patents or patent applications of the other Party. Zai shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or sublicensees to, practice any Five Prime IP outside the scope of the License.

2.7Reimbursement for Third Party Sublicense. 

(a)If, during the Term, Five Prime obtains Control of any intellectual property rights from a Third Party [***], which intellectual property rights are necessary for the Development, manufacture or Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory (“Third Party IP Rights”), then such Third Party IP Rights shall be included in the Five Prime IP and sublicensed to Zai, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the agreement between Five Prime and such Third Party. Five Prime shall notify Zai in writing of such Third Party IP Rights, including a description thereof and any payments that Five Prime is obligated to pay in connection with the grant, maintenance or exercise of the sublicense to Zai, and Zai hereby agrees to reimburse Five Prime (a) with respect to any such payments that solely pertain to the Development, manufacture or Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Territory[***], and (b) with respect to any such payments that pertain to the Development, manufacture or Commercialization of Licensed Products both inside and outside of the Territory, [***].

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 2.7(a), in the event that Zai determines in good faith that the non-financial terms of a license of any Third Party IP Rights that would be applicable to Zai as a sublicensee thereof pursuant to Section 2.7(a) would materially adversely affect Zai’s business or its anticipated business activities, then Zai shall have the right to decline such sublicense of Third Party IP Rights from Five Prime; provided that, in any agreement under which Five Prime obtains any such Third Party IP Rights, [***].

(c)If Zai desires to exercise its right pursuant to Section 2.7(b) to decline a sublicense to any Third Party IP Rights, then Zai shall notify Five Prime in writing within [***] after Five Prime’s notice pursuant to Section 2.7(a) and the definitions of Five Prime Patents and Five Prime Know-How shall be deemed to exclude any such Third Party IP Rights, as applicable, and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Third Party IP Rights shall not be included within the scope of the License. 

2.8Non-Compete. 

(a)Subject to Section 2.9, during the Term, Zai shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates do not, engage in, independently or for or with any Third Party, any research, development, manufacture or commercialization of any molecule or pharmaceutical product that is directed to FGFR2 or FGFR2b as an intended therapeutic mechanism of action (each a “Competing Product”) other than Licensed Products in accordance with this Agreement.

The costs and expenses of any regulatory action in the Territory shall be borne solely by Zai. Zai shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees will, maintain adequate records to permit the Parties to trace the distribution, sale and use of Licensed Products in the Territory.

7.2Supply by Zai. 

(a)Subject to the consent of the Upstream Licensors, Zai shall have the right to manufacture Licensed Products in the Territory for (i) Development use in the Territory under the Territory Development Plan and (ii) Commercial use in the Territory, in each case, at Zai’s cost and expense, subject to and only after the completion of the following with respect to such Licensed Product: [***]. Zai agrees that Zai’s manufacturing process with respect to a Licensed Product and finished Licensed Product will at all times be in accordance with the Zai Specifications with respect to such Licensed Product and cGMP and ICH Guidelines. In addition, Zai shall have the right at any time during the Term, provided that at such time Zai has not yet begun to manufacture Licensed Products in the PRC, to request that Five Prime qualify as a back-up supplier of Licensed Product a contract manufacturing organization outside of the PRC identified and engaged by Zai, subject to [***]. Following any such request by Zai and receipt of the consents, as applicable, described in the preceding sentence, Five Prime shall cooperate with Zai and such contract manufacturing organization to effect a transfer of manufacturing technology to such contract manufacturing organization and to qualify such contract manufacturing organization as a manufacturer of Licensed Products for regulatory purposes.  Zai shall reimburse Five Prime’s [***], in each case, incurred by Five Prime in connection with the qualification of any back-up supplier and any assistance rendered to effect a transfer of manufacturing technology to a contract manufacturing organization and to qualify such contract manufacturing organization pursuant to this Section 7.2(a).

(b)If Zai decides to manufacture a Licensed Product pursuant to Section 7.2(a), Zai shall provide Five Prime with written notice thereof, which notice shall specify whether Zai desires to manufacture such Licensed Product for Development or Commercialization (a “Manufacturing Notice”). Promptly after Five Prime’s receipt of a Manufacturing Notice, Zai shall (i) provide Five Prime with such information and documents that Five Prime may reasonably request to conduct a quality and technical audit of Zai’s manufacturing facilities, systems, processes and capabilities that Zai will use in the manufacture, testing and release of such Licensed Product, and (ii) as part of such quality and technical audit, cooperate with Five Prime to allow Five Prime or its representatives to conduct an on-site audit of such manufacturing facilities, systems, processes and capabilities, which on-site audit shall occur during normal business hours. The Parties will endeavor to complete such audit within [***] after Five Prime’s receipt of the relevant Manufacturing Notice, unless Zai is unable to facilitate the completion of such audit by Five Prime within such [***] period due to delays outside of Zai’s reasonable control (e.g., official holidays within the Territory), in which case the Parties will endeavor to complete such audit within [***]. No later than [***] following the completion of such audit, Five Prime will provide to Zai a written report of Five Prime’s assessment, [***], including a conclusion in which Five Prime either approves such facilities, systems, processes and capabilities or describes any deficiencies that Five Prime has identified as requiring remediation before Five Prime approves such facilities, systems, processes and capabilities (the “Facility-fit Assessment”).

In the event that Zai believes that any deficiencies identified by Five Prime are incorrect or would not have a material effect on the quality of the Licensed Product manufactured in such Zai facilities (as compared to Licensed Product produced by or on behalf of Five Prime), then [***] Following Zai’s remediation of all deficiencies, Zai will notify Five Prime and Five Prime will provide Zai with a revised Facility-fit Assessment, which shall again be subject to the terms of this Section 7.2(b). Zai shall not initiate manufacture of the applicable Licensed Product until Five Prime has approved Zai’s manufacturing facilities, systems, processes and capabilities in accordance with this Section 7.2(b) or the Third Party expert has determined that all deficiencies identified in the applicable Facility-fit Assessment do not exist, have been successfully remediated by Zai or would not have a material effect on the quality of the applicable Licensed Product manufactured by Zai. 

(c)Promptly following Five Prime’s approval of Zai’s facilities, systems, processes and capabilities in accordance with Section 7.2(b) or Zai’s delivery of a Manufacturing Assumption Notice in accordance with Section 7.2(d), as applicable, Five Prime will provide Zai with Five Prime’s written process and quality specifications for the manufacturing of such Licensed Product (the “Five Prime Specifications”). Zai will prepare written process and quality specifications for the manufacture of such Licensed Product applicable to Zai’s manufacturing facilities, systems, processes and capabilities, including how they relate to drug substance, drug product, in-process intermediates, raw materials and reference material (the “Zai  Specifications”), which Zai Specifications will be reasonably consistent with the Five Prime Specifications for such Licensed Product, and will provide such Zai Specifications to Five Prime for Five Prime’s review and comment. Within [***] following its receipt of such Zai Specifications, Five Prime will either (i) approve the Zai Specifications, or (ii) provide Zai with a written response to the Zai Specifications that includes a description of any deficiencies or limitations Five Prime has identified with respect thereto, and the Parties will cooperate to develop a plan for remediation with respect to any deficiencies or limitations within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Following Zai’s remediation of all deficiencies, Zai will provide Five Prime with a revised draft of the Zai Specifications for Five Prime’s review and approval. Zai will promptly notify Five Prime in writing if Zai amends the Zai Specifications with respect to a Licensed Product at any time following Five Prime’s approval of such Zai Specifications.

(d)In addition to the foregoing, in the event of a commercial supply failure (as defined in the Commercial Supply Agreement), Zai may decide to manufacture a Licensed Product (including, for clarity, the Licensed Antibody for use therein) and, if it makes such decision, shall provide Five Prime with written notice thereof (the “Manufacturing Assumption Notice”). Promptly after Five Prime’s receipt of the Manufacturing Assumption Notice pursuant to this Section 7.2(d), Zai shall (i) cooperate with Five Prime to ensure that the Zai Specifications are agreed pursuant to Section 7.2(c) prior to any manufacture of a Licensed Product, (ii) provide Five Prime with such information and documents that Five Prime may reasonably request to ensure that Zai has the capability to manufacture such Licensed Product in accordance with all Applicable Laws (including GMP and ICH Guidelines), and (iii) complete any studies or testing required by and obtain any qualifications and Regulatory Approvals (including manufacturing licenses) from any Regulatory Authorities or other Governmental Authorities necessary to manufacture such Licensed Product in the Territory. Thereafter, and on a continuing basis for so long as Zai manufactures the Licensed Product, Zai shall (1) ensure that Zai’s manufacturing process with respect to a Licensed Product and finished Licensed Product will at all times be in

9.9Taxes.  

(a)Taxes on Income. Except as set forth in this Section 9.9 or Section 9.10, 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 each Party to the other Party under this Agreement.

the Recipient with a commercially reasonable period of time to claim an exemption or reduction in otherwise applicable Taxes. The Recipient shall provide the Paying Party any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for the Paying Party to not withhold Tax or to withhold Tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty, to the extent the Paying Party is legally able to do so. The Recipient shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to the Paying Party 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 the Paying Party if the Paying Party is the Party bearing such withholding Tax under this Section 9.9. 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. In the event of any inconsistency between this Section 9.9(b) and Section 9.10, Section 9.10 shall take precedence.

(c)Changes in Domicile.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Paying Party 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 the Recipient 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), the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding been made. 

(d)Returns.  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 the Paying Party. The Paying Party 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.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any such claim for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party’s insurer as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, and at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense and with counsel of its choice, in the defense of any claim that has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party. Neither Party shall have the obligation to indemnify the other Party in connection with any settlement made without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Parties cannot agree as to the application of Section 12.1 or 12.2 as to any claim, pending resolution of the dispute pursuant to Article 15, the Parties may conduct separate defenses of such claims, with each Party retaining the right to claim indemnification from the other Party in accordance with Section 12.1 or 12.2 upon resolution of the underlying claim. 

12.4Mitigation of Loss. Each Indemnified Party shall take and shall procure that its Affiliates take all such reasonable steps and action as are reasonably necessary or as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably require in order to mitigate any claims (or potential losses or damages) under this Article 12.

Zai shall provide Five Prime with evidence of such insurance upon request and shall provide Five Prime with written notice at least [***] prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material changes in such insurance. Such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of Zai’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 12.

(ii)Five Prime shall consult with Zai and keep Zai reasonably informed of the Patent Prosecution of the Five Prime Patents and shall provide Zai with all material correspondence received from any patent authority in the Territory in connection therewith. In addition, Five Prime shall provide Zai with drafts of all proposed material filings and correspondence to any patent authority in the Territory in connection with the Patent Prosecution of the Five Prime Patents for Zai’s review and comment prior to the submission of such proposed filings and correspondence. Further, Five Prime shall notify Zai of any decision to cease Patent Prosecution or maintenance of any Five Prime Patents in the Territory.

(d)Cooperation. Each Party shall provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation in the Patent Prosecution efforts under this Section 13.2, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution. 

13.3Patent Enforcement. 

(a)Notice. Each Party shall notify the other within [***] of becoming aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of (i) any of the Five Prime Patents in the Territory or (ii) any of the Zai Patents in the Territory, which infringement of such Zai Patents adversely affects or is expected to adversely affect any Licensed Product in the Territory, and, in each case, any related declaratory judgment or equivalent action alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any Five Prime Patents (collectively “Product Infringement”). Each Party shall also notify the other within [***] of becoming aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Patent that claims Zai Collaboration IP that is solely owned by Zai (“Zai Collaboration Patent”), which infringement adversely affects or is expected to adversely affect any Licensed Product outside of the Territory, including any related declaratory judgment or equivalent action alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any such Patent(s) (an “Ex-Territory Infringement”). For clarity, Product Infringement and Ex-Territory Infringement, in each case, exclude any adversarial Patent Prosecution proceedings. 

(b)Enforcement Rights. 

(i)Five Prime shall have the first right to bring and control any legal action to enforce Five Prime Patents (including Joint Patents) against any Product Infringement in the Territory at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate, and Five Prime shall consider in good faith the interests of Zai in such enforcement of the Five Prime Patents. If Five Prime or its designee fails to abate such Product Infringement in the Territory or to file an action to abate such Product Infringement in the Territory within [***] after a written request from Zai to do so, or if Five Prime discontinues the prosecution of any such action after filing without abating such infringement, then Zai shall have the right to enforce the Five Prime Patents against such Product Infringement in the Territory at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate provided that (A) Five Prime does not provide reasonable rationale for not doing so or continuing to do so (including a substantive concern regarding counter-claims by the infringing Third Party) and (B) Zai shall not enter into any settlement admitting the invalidity of, or otherwise impairing, any Five Prime Patent without the prior written consent of Five Prime. Zai shall have the sole right to bring and control any legal action to enforce Zai Patents against any Product Infringement in the Territory at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate. Zai shall not have the right to enforce any Five Prime Patent outside of the Territory without the prior written consent of Five Prime.

(c)Cooperation. At the request of the Party bringing an action related to Product Infringement or Ex-Territory Infringement, 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 by Applicable Law to pursue such action, at each such Party’s sole cost and expense. 

(d)Recoveries. Any recoveries resulting from an enforcement action relating to a claim of Product Infringement in the Territory or Ex-Territory Infringement outside of the Territory 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 shall be, (i) if Five Prime is the enforcing Party, [***], or (ii) if Zai is the enforcing Party, [***]. 

(e)Continuing Infringement. With respect to any continuing Product Infringement of the Five Prime Patents in a region in the Territory, if (i) Five Prime or its designee fails to abate such infringement or file an action to abate such infringement within [***] after receiving Zai’s written request pursuant to Section 13.3(b)(i)), or if Five Prime discontinues the prosecution of any such action after filing without abating such infringement, and (ii) Zai notifies Five Prime that it wishes to exercise its right to enforce the Five Prime Patents against such Product Infringement pursuant to Section 13.3(b)(i) and Five Prime provides notice to Zai that Five Prime has a reasonable rationale for denying such exercise in accordance with Section 13.3(b)(i)(A) (which notice must be provided to Zai within ten Business Days from the date of Zai’s notice to Five Prime pursuant to Section 13.3(b)(i)), then, from the date of such notice from Five Prime pursuant to Section 13.3(b)(i)(A) until such time as such Product Infringement is abated, the royalty rate that would otherwise be owed under Section 9.3 for the applicable Licensed Product in such region during each applicable Calendar Quarter shall be reduced to [***]. 

13.4Infringement of Third Party Rights. 

(a)Notice. If any Licensed Product used or sold by Zai, its Affiliates or sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent or other rights in the Territory that are owned or controlled by such Third Party, Zai shall promptly notify Five Prime within [***] after receipt of such claim or assertion and such notice shall include a copy of any summons or complaint (or the equivalent thereof) received regarding the foregoing. Thereafter, the Parties shall promptly meet to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action and may, if appropriate, agree on and enter into a “common interest agreement” wherein the Parties agree to their shared, mutual interest in the outcome of such potential dispute. The Parties shall assert and not waive the joint defense privilege with respect to any communications between the Parties in connection with the defense of such claim or assertion.

(b)Defense. Zai shall be solely responsible for the defense of any such infringement claims brought against Zai, at Zai’s cost and expense; provided that Zai shall not agree to any settlement, consent to judgment or other voluntary final disposition in connection with such defense action without Five Prime’s consent if such settlement, consent to judgment or other voluntary final disposition would (a) result in the admission of any liability or fault on behalf of Five Prime, (b) result in or impose any payment obligations upon Five Prime, or (c) subject Five Prime to an injunction or otherwise limit Five Prime’s ability to take any actions or refrain from taking any actions under this Agreement or with respect to any Licensed Antibody or Licensed Product. Zai shall keep Five Prime informed on the status of such defense action, and Five Prime shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate and be separately represented in such defense action at its sole option and at its own expense. 

13.5Patents Licensed From Third Parties. Each Party’s rights under this Article 13 with respect to the prosecution and enforcement of any Five Prime Patent that is licensed by Five Prime from a Third Party shall be subject to the rights of such Third Party to prosecute and enforce such Patent. 

13.6Product Trademarks. Subject to Section 8.4(c), Zai shall have the right to brand Licensed Products in the Territory using trademarks, logos, and trade names it determines appropriate for such Licensed Products, which may vary by region or within a region (the “Product Marks”); provided, however, that Zai shall provide Five Prime with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments on each proposed Product Mark, shall give due consideration to Five Prime’s comments before selecting any Product Mark, and shall not use any trademarks or house marks of Five Prime (including Five Prime’s corporate name) or any trademark confusingly similar thereto without Five Prime’s prior written consent. Zai shall own all rights in the Product Marks in the Territory and shall register and maintain the Product Marks in the Territory that it determines reasonably necessary, at Zai’s cost and expense. 

13.7Patent Marking. Zai shall mark all Licensed Products in accordance with the applicable patent marking laws, and shall require all of its Affiliates and sublicensees to do the same. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Zai shall indicate on the product packaging, advertisement and promotional materials that such Licensed Product is in-licensed from Five Prime.

TERMS AND TERMINATION

14.1Term.  This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date, and shall continue, on a region-by-region basis, in effect until the expiration of and payment by Zai of all of Zai’s royalty payment obligations set forth in Section 9.3 applicable to such Licensed Product and such region (the “Term”).

For the avoidance of doubt, Five Prime shall be permitted to sell, offer for sale or otherwise Commercialize Licensed Products in any region in the Territory after the Exclusive Tail Expiration Date in such region under a new Regulatory Approval obtained by or on behalf of Five Prime following the expiration of the Term. 

14.2Termination 

(a)Termination by Zai for Convenience. At any time, Zai may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination to Five Prime, which notice includes an effective date of termination at least [***] after the date of the notice.

(b)Termination for Material Breach. 

(i)If either Party believes in good faith that the other is in material breach of its obligations hereunder, then the non-breaching Party may deliver notice of such breach to the other Party stating the cause and proposed remedy. For all breaches other than a failure to make a payment as set forth in this Agreement, the allegedly breaching Party shall have [***] from such notice to dispute or cure such breach, provided that if such breach is not reasonably capable of cure within such [***] period, but is capable of cure within [***] from such notice, the breaching Party may submit, within [***] of such notice, a reasonable cure plan to remedy such breach as soon as possible and in any event prior to the end of such [***], and, upon such submission, the [***] cure period shall be automatically extended for so long as the breaching Party continues to use diligent efforts to cure such breach in accordance with the cure plan, but for no more than [***]. For any breach arising from a failure to make a payment set forth in this Agreement, the allegedly breaching Party shall have [***] from the receipt of the notice to dispute or cure such breach. If the Party receiving notice of breach fails to cure, or fails to dispute, that breach within the applicable period set forth above, then the Party originally delivering the notice of breach may terminate this Agreement effective on written notice of termination to the other Party. If the allegedly breaching Party in good faith disputes such material breach and provides written notice of that dispute to the other Party within the applicable period set forth above, the matter shall be addressed under the dispute resolution provisions in Article 15, and the termination shall not become effective unless and until it has been determined under Article 15 that the allegedly breaching Party is in material breach of this Agreement. It is understood and acknowledged that during the pendency of such a dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder. Section 14.2(b)(i) shall not apply to or encompass a breach (or alleged breach) of Zai’s diligence obligations pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 8.1, which shall be governed solely by Section 14.2(b)(ii).

(ii)(1) Subject to the provisions of this Section 14.2(b)(ii), Five Prime shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety if Zai is in material breach of its diligence obligations pursuant to Section 5.1 and Five Prime shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on a region-by-region basis with respect to all Licensed Products in such region in the Territory if Zai is in material breach of its diligence obligations pursuant to Section 8.1 with respect to such region; provided, however, this Agreement shall not so terminate unless (A) Five Prime provides Zai with written notice of Five Prime’s intent to terminate, stating the reasons and justification for such termination and recommending steps which Five Prime believes Zai should take to cure such alleged breach, and (B) Zai, or its Affiliates or sublicensee, has not (x) during the [***] period following such notice, provided Five Prime with a plan for curing such breach and (y) during the [***] period following such notice carried out such plan and cured such alleged breach (subject to extension as set forth in Section 14.2(b)(i) above). 

(2) If Zai disputes in good faith the existence or materiality of an alleged breach specified in a notice provided by Five Prime pursuant to Section 14.2(b)(ii)(1), and if Zai provides notice to Five Prime of such dispute within the thirty [***] following such notice provided by Five Prime, Five Prime shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement unless and until the existence of such material breach or failure by Zai has been determined in accordance with Article 15 and Zai fails to cure such breach within [***] following such determination (subject to extension as set forth in Section 14.2(b)(i) above). It is understood and acknowledged that during the pendency of such a dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder.

(c)Termination for Patent Challenge. Except to the extent the following is unenforceable under the laws of a particular jurisdiction, Five Prime may immediately terminate this Agreement in its entirety if Zai or its Affiliates or sublicensees, individually or in association with any other Person, commences a legal action challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any Five Prime Patents anywhere in the world (a “Patent Challenge”). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing right of termination shall not apply with respect to any Patent Challenge where the Patent Challenge is (i) based solely on the scope of a Five Prime Patent or whether a claim therein qualifies as a Valid Claim and made in defense of a breach claim first brought by Five Prime against Zai pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) brought by a sublicensee of Zai and Zai has terminated the applicable sublicense agreement following notice thereof. For clarity, if a Third Party that is not a sublicensee of Zai commences a legal action challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any Five Prime Patents anywhere in the world, and Zai’s sole involvement in such action is to respond to a subpoena or take another action that is otherwise compelled by Applicable Law, then such involvement shall not be deemed to be a Patent Challenge.

(d)Termination for Insolvency. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon delivery of written notice to the other Party in the event that (a) such other Party files in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any jurisdiction a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or similar arrangement for the benefit of creditors or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of such other Party or its assets, (b) such other Party is served with an involuntary petition against it in any insolvency proceeding and such involuntary petition has not been stayed or dismissed within [***] of its filing, or (c) such other Party makes an assignment of substantially all of its assets for the benefit of its creditors.

(e)Full Force and Effect During Notice Period. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the applicable termination notice period. For clarity, if any milestone event is achieved during the termination notice period, then the corresponding milestone payment is accrued and Zai shall remain responsible for the payment of such milestone payment even if the due date of such milestone payment may come after the effective date of the termination. 

14.3Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement: 

(a)Licenses. The Licenses and all other rights granted by Five Prime to Zai under the Five Prime IP shall terminate and all sublicenses granted by Zai shall also terminate.

(b)Regulatory Submissions. Upon Five Prime’s written request, Zai shall provide Five Prime with copies of all Regulatory Submissions for Licensed Products. Zai shall either assign to Five Prime or provide Five Prime with a right of reference with respect to such Regulatory Submissions, as Five Prime determines at its reasonable discretion, at Zai’s cost and expense. In addition, upon Five Prime’s written request, Zai shall, at its cost and expense, provide to Five Prime copies of all material related documentation, including material non-clinical, preclinical and clinical data that are held by or reasonably available to Zai, its Affiliates or sublicensees. The Parties shall discuss and establish appropriate arrangements with respect to safety data exchange, provided that Five Prime will assume all safety and safety database activities no later than [***] after termination. 

(c)Trademarks. Zai shall transfer and assign, and shall ensure that its Affiliates transfer and assign, to Five Prime, at no cost to Five Prime, all Product Marks relating to any Licensed Product and any applications therefor (excluding any such marks that include, in whole or part, any corporate name or logos of Zai or its Affiliates or sublicensees). Five Prime and its Affiliates and licensees shall have the right to use other identifiers specific to any Licensed Product (e.g., Zai compound identifiers). Zai shall also transfer to Five Prime any in-process applications for generic names for any Licensed Product. 

(d)Inventory. At Five Prime’s election and request, Zai shall transfer to Five Prime or its designee some or all inventory of Licensed Antibody and Licensed Products (including all final product, bulk drug substance, intermediates, works-in-process, formulation materials, reference standards, drug product clinical reserve samples, packaged retention samples, and the like) then in the possession or control of Zai, its Affiliates or sublicensees; provided that Five Prime shall pay Zai a price equal to Zai’s fully burdened manufacturing cost of such transferred Licensed Antibody and Licensed Products.

(e)Wind Down and Transition. Zai shall be responsible, at its own cost and expense, for the wind-down of Zai’s, its Affiliates’ and its sublicensees’ Development, manufacture and Commercialization activities for Licensed Products. Zai shall, and shall cause

(f)Ongoing Clinical Trial. If, at the time of such termination, Zai or its Affiliates are conducting any Clinical Trials, then, at Five Prime’s election on a Clinical Trial-by-Clinical Trial basis: (i) Zai shall fully cooperate, and shall ensure that its Affiliates fully cooperate, with Five Prime to transfer the conduct of such Clinical Trial to Five Prime or its designees effective as of [***] after the termination effective date, and Five Prime shall assume any and all liability for the conduct of such transferred Clinical Trial after the effective date of such transfer (except to the extent arising prior to the transfer date or from any willful misconduct or negligent act or omission by Zai, its Affiliates or their respective employees, agents and contractors); and (ii) Zai shall, [***], orderly wind-down the conduct of any such Clinical Trial that is not assumed by Five Prime under clause (i) above.

For clarity, if Five Prime disputes Zai’s right to terminate pursuant to Section 14.2(b) following Zai’s election under this Section 14.4, the Parties shall resolve any such dispute under Section 15.3. Upon a final determination by an arbitrator pursuant to Section 15.3 of an uncured material breach of this Agreement by Five Prime, or, if dispute resolution procedures were not initiated by Five Prime within [***] after Zai’s written notice of election under this Section 14.4, then this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, provided that Zai may thereafter reduce any [***] payments that accrue after the date of Zai’s notice of election under this Section 14.4 by [***], for the remainder of the Term, subject in all cases to Section 9.3(c)(iii).

Five Prime Therapeutics and Zai Lab Announce Exclusive License Agreement for FPA144 Anti-FGFR2b Antibody in Greater China and Global Strategic Development Collaboration

Planned global Phase 3 FIGHT trial in front-line gastric and gastro-esophageal junction cancers to include sites in China where disease incidence is the highest in the world  

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and SHANGHAI, China, Dec. XX, 2017 -- Five Prime Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: FPRX), a biotechnology company discovering and developing innovative immuno-oncology protein therapeutics, and Zai Lab Limited (NASDAQ: ZLAB), a Shanghai-based innovative biopharmaceutical company, today announced an exclusive license agreement for FPA144 in Greater China and global strategic development collaboration. Five Prime’s FPA144 is a first-in-class isoform-selective, humanized monoclonal antibody in clinical development as a targeted immuno-therapy for tumors that overexpress FGFR2b, including gastric and gastro-esophageal junction cancer. China has one of the highest incidence rates of gastric cancer in the world, with approximately 680,000 new cases annually.1,2 The randomized, controlled Phase 3 portion of the FIGHT trial evaluating FPA144 plus chemotherapy is expected to start in the second half of 2018 and would serve as a global registrational study for the treatment of front-line gastric and gastro-esophageal junction cancers. Zai Lab will manage the Phase 3 portion of the trial in China. 

“We believe Zai Lab is the right partner for FPA144 in Greater China for this innovative product,” said Aron Knickerbocker, Chief Operating Officer of Five Prime and incoming Chief Executive Officer (effective January 1, 2018). “China accounts for more than 40% of new gastric cancer cases globally2, so it is critical to align strategically with a strong collaborator with the infrastructure, relationships and resources to help us advance FPA144 global development expeditiously. Zai Lab is ideally positioned given their experienced leadership team, focus on innovative drugs, and established expertise and network within oncology. We look forward to working with Zai Lab to carry out our worldwide development program for FPA144 and accelerate enrollment in the global Phase 3 portion of the FIGHT trial.”

“Five Prime has pioneered the development of some very exciting and highly-targeted antibodies, including FPA144, which we believe holds tremendous promise for cancer patients in Greater China. We are committed to working with Five Prime to accelerate the global development timelines for this important investigational therapy,” stated Samantha Du, Chairman and CEO of Zai Lab. “This strategic collaboration highlights the strength of our team and business model as the partner of choice in China and in delivering innovative therapies to patients in China and beyond.” 

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Five Prime has granted Zai Lab an exclusive license to develop and commercialize FPA144 in the Greater China territory: China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Zai Lab will be responsible for conducting the Phase 3 FIGHT trial in Greater China, including screening, enrollment and treatment of patients, and for commercialization of FPA144 in the Greater China territory.  Five Prime will manufacture and supply FPA144 for the study.  A Joint Steering Committee will be formed between the companies to oversee development, regulatory and commercialization activities in greater China. Five Prime will 

 

 

 

receive a $5 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to $39 million in development and regulatory milestone payments. Five Prime is also eligible to receive from Zai Lab a royalty percentage on net sales of FPA144 in Greater China ranging from the high teens to the low twenties. Given the strategic importance of China to the development and commercialization of FPA144 and to align the interests of the two companies globally, Zai Lab is also eligible to receive a low single-digit royalty from Five Prime on net sales of FPA144 outside of Greater China. 

“Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the second most common in China. Patients whose tumors overexpress FGFR2b or have FGFR2 gene amplification have an especially poor prognosis,” said Dr. Shukui Qin, the Executive Member of the Asian Clinical Oncology Society, Senior Vice President of Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology and the Director of Cancer Center of People’s Liberation Army. “I am encouraged that we may be able to identify those patients with companion diagnostics and potentially treat them more effectively with a highly targeted therapy like FPA144. There is a critical need for more effective and safe therapies for gastric cancer patients here, so I am pleased that I and my fellow oncologists throughout China can play an important role in the FIGHT trial.”

About FPA144

FPA144 is an isoform-selective, humanized monoclonal antibody in clinical development as a targeted immuno-therapy for tumors that overexpress FGFR2b, a splice variant of a receptor for some members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FPA144 has also been engineered for enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) to increase direct tumor cell killing by recruiting natural killer (NK) cells. 

FPA144 is being evaluated as a potential treatment for gastric cancer and bladder cancer. In a Phase 1 trial, FPA144 demonstrated monotherapy activity in heavily pre-treated patients with FGFR2b-positive gastric cancer and did not exhibit certain toxicities that have been seen with less selective FGFR2 small molecule therapeutics. An estimated 10% patients with gastric cancer have tumors that overexpress FGFR2b or have FGFR2 gene amplification, which is associated with poor prognosis.

For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

8

 

For purposes of this definition, Persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.

5.5.Conditions to Receipt of Severance.

If the Release of Claims does not become effective by the Release Deadline, the Founder will forfeit any rights to severance or benefits (other than Final Compensation) under this Agreement. In no event will severance payments or benefits (other than Final Compensation) be paid or provided under this Agreement until such Release of Claims becomes effective and irrevocable.  If the sixty- (60-) day period following termination referred to herein extends through two (2) taxable years, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, such amount will be paid in the second taxable year (but within the sixty- (60-) day period) following the Founder’s termination.

6.Compliance Agreement. The Founder agrees that the Agreement Regarding Confidentiality, Trade Secrets, Intellectual Property and Competitive Activities previously executed by the Founder (the “Compliance Agreement”) remains in full force and effect.

7.Standards of Conduct. The Founder will conduct herself in an ethical and professional manner at all times and in accordance with any employee policies or guidelines which the Company may issue from time to time.

8.3.Limitation on Indemnification. The Founder shall not be entitled to any indemnification under this Section 8 if the Founder knowingly violated any duty, responsibility or obligation imposed under this Agreement, the Compliance Agreement or any Company policy.

11.Enforcement. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement will be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, to the extent 

10

 

that a restriction contained in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by the laws of any jurisdiction whose law may be deemed to govern the review and interpretation of this Agreement, the terms of such restriction, for the purpose only of the operation of such restriction in such jurisdiction, will be the maximum restriction allowed by the laws of such jurisdiction and such restriction will be deemed to have been revised accordingly herein. A court having jurisdiction over an action arising out of or seeking enforcement of any restriction contained in this Agreement may modify the terms of such restriction in accordance with this Section 11.

12.Dispute Resolution. In the event the parties hereto are unable to settle a dispute between them regarding this Agreement through friendly consultation, such dispute shall be referred to and finally settled by arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) in effect, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 12 applying the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Any award made by the Arbitration Board shall be final and binding on each of the parties that were parties to the dispute. The parties expressly agree to waive the applicability of any laws and regulations that would otherwise give the right to appeal the decisions of the Arbitration Board so that there shall be no appeal to any court of law for the award of the Arbitration Board, and a party shall not challenge or resist the enforcement action taken by any other party in whose favor an award of the Arbitration Board was given.  Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, the parties agree that either party may seek provision remedies such as a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction in aid of arbitration.  As a material part of this agreement to arbitrate claims, the parties expressly waive all rights to a jury trial in court on all statutory or other claims.  The parties acknowledge and agree that no claims will be arbitrated on a class action or collective action basis.  

13.Covenant Against Assignment. The Founder may not assign any rights or delegate any of the duties of the Founder under this Agreement.

14.2.Time. Time is of the essence in performance of the rights and obligations under this Agreement.

14.3.Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at the time the Founder’s employment terminates, the Founder is a “specified employee,” as defined below, any and all amounts payable under this Agreement on account of such separation from service that would (but for this provision) be payable within six (6) months following the date of termination, shall instead be paid on the next business day following the expiration of such six- (6-) month period or, if earlier, upon the Founder’s death; except (a) to the extent of amounts that do not constitute a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(b) (including without limitation by reason of the safe harbor set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), as determined by the Company in its reasonable good faith discretion); (b) benefits which qualify as excepted welfare benefits pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5); or (c) other amounts or benefits that are not subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”).  For purposes of this Agreement, all references to “termination of employment” and correlative phrases shall be construed to require a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury regulations after giving effect to the presumptions contained therein), and the term “specified employee” means an individual determined by the Company to be a specified employee under Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(i).  

14.4.Survival. The provisions set forth in Sections 5, 6, 8, 11, 12 and 14 of this Agreement (and any other provisions necessary to give effect to such provisions) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

14.5.Binding Agreement; Benefit. The provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, legal representatives and successors of the parties hereto.

14.6.Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

14.7.Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party must be in writing and will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party.

14.8.Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements or understanding among the parties with respect thereto, including, without limitation, the Existing Agreement. This Agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

14.9.Headings. The Section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

14.10.Severability. Subject to the provisions of Section 11 above, any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

14.11.Assignment. This Agreement is personal in its nature and the parties hereto shall not, without the consent of the other party hereto, assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder shall be assignable and delegable in connection with any subsequent merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or shares of the Company or similar transaction involving the Company or a successor corporation.

14.12. Further Assurances. The Founder agrees to execute, acknowledge, seal and deliver such further assurances, documents, applications, agreements and instruments, and to take such further actions, as the Company may reasonably request in order to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

14.13.Costs. Each of the parties shall pay all costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by such party in negotiating and preparing this Agreement and in closing and carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

14.14.Interpretation of Agreement. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s length between persons knowledgeable in the matters dealt with in this Agreement. In addition, each party has been represented by experienced and knowledgeable legal counsel. Accordingly, any rule of law, or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against the party that has drafted it, is of no application and is waived.

14.15.Counterparts. The parties may execute this Agreement in any number of counterparts and, as so delivered, the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document. The parties agree that each such counterpart is an original and shall be binding upon all of the parties, even though all of the parties are not signatories to the same counterpart.

14.16.No Third-Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to grant to any third party (other than the parties’ respective successors in title and permitted assigns) any right to enforce any term of this Agreement or to confer on any third party (other than the parties’ respective successors in title and permitted assigns) any benefits under this Agreement. No person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have any right to enforce any term of this Agreement.
