(“Genentech”) and F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd (“Roche”), on the other hand (each, a “Party, and collectively, the “Parties”).
This Confidential Settlement Agreement is made with respect to the following recitals:
WHEREAS, PDL, as the assignee of the PDL Licensed Patents, solely owns all right, title and interest in, to, and under the PDL Licensed Patents and has extensively licensed the PDL Licensed Patents for the development of humanized antibodies intended for pharmaceutical purposes;
WHEREAS, Genentech and/or Roche develops, produces, and/or sells antibody products, including Herceptin, Avastin, Xolair, Raptiva, Lucentis, Perjeta, and Kadcyla, among others;
WHEREAS, PDL and Genentech are parties to multiple agreements, including without limitation a Patent Licensing Master Agreement, dated September 25, 1998, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated September 18, 2003, by Amendment No. 2 dated December 18, 2003, and by the Amended and Restated Patent Licensing Master Agreement dated July 27, 2009 (collectively, the “PLMA”); a Settlement Agreement dated December 18, 2003 (the “2003 Settlement Agreement”); and PDL License Agreements providing certain rights to Genentech under the PDL Licensed Patents with respect to antigens HER-2 (agreement dated November 3, 1998, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated December 18, 2003), IgE (agreement dated December 18, 2003), and VEGF (agreement dated March 5, 2004) (collectively, and as amended on the Effective Date of this Agreement, referred to as the “PDL License Agreements”);
WHEREAS, on August 27, 2010, PDL filed a civil action entitled PDL BioPharma, Inc. v. Genentech, Inc. in the Second Judicial District of the State of Nevada in and for the County of Washoe (the “Nevada Court”), Case No. CV10-02578 (the “Nevada Litigation”), alleging (among other things) that Genentech breached the 2003 Settlement Agreement by challenging the validity and enforceability of supplementary protection certificates issued with respect to European Patent No. 0 451 216, and that Roche tortiously interfered with PDL’s rights under the 2003 Settlement Agreement;
WHEREAS, Genentech and Roche deny those allegations and all claims of liability made by PDL in the Nevada Litigation;
WHEREAS, on June 7, 2013, PDL filed a Notice of Arbitration against Genentech with the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Arbitration”) concerning certain issues arising out of an audit of Genentech conducted by KPMG regarding royalties owed to PDL for the period commencing on January 1, 2007, and concluding on December 31, 2009 (the “KPMG Audit”);
WHEREAS, on July 3, 2013, Genentech filed a response and counterclaims in the AAA Arbitration contending (among other things) that Genentech owed no additional royalties to PDL on certain sales of Herceptin, Avastin, and Xolair between January 1, 2007 and December 28, 2009, because those products were not GNE Licensed Products (as defined in the PLMA) or Licensed



Products (as defined in the applicable PDL License Agreement), and seeking to offset certain royalties that allegedly had been overpaid during that same time period against any additional royalties found to be owing;
WHEREAS, the Parties dispute whether the manufacture and/or sale of Lucentis in the United States infringes PDL’s U.S. Patent No. 5,693,761;
WHEREAS, the Parties deem it to be in their best interests and to their mutual advantage to settle their disputes on the terms and conditions set forth in this Confidential Settlement Agreement in order to achieve certainty in their business dealings and avoid the expense of litigation, arbitration and/or other legal proceedings.

3.4    Commencing on the Effective Date, and at all times thereafter, Genentech, Roche, and their Affiliates shall not directly or indirectly initiate or prosecute any Legal Proceeding anywhere in the world, and none of their in-house attorneys or officers shall make any assertion to PDL, challenging or contesting (i) the stipulation contained in Section 3.3 of this Agreement, (ii) that the Genentech Products (including the antibody onartuzumab, if it becomes a Genentech Product pursuant to Section 4.1(e) of the 2014 Amended PLMA) would infringe, if not licensed, one or more components of the PDL Licensed Patents, or (iii) that royalties are owed to PDL on sales of those products pursuant to Section 4.1 of the 2014 Amended PLMA on the express ground that one or more of such products is not a GNE Licensed Product or a Licensed Product.
3.5    Commencing on the Effective Date and at all times thereafter, Genentech, Roche and their Affiliates shall not refuse to pay royalties to PDL pursuant to Section 4.1 of the 2014 Amended PLMA on the express ground that the manufacture, import, use, offer to sell or sale of any Genentech Product, any other GNE Licensed Product, or any Licensed Product does not require a license under any component of the PDL Licensed Patents.
3.6    Commencing on the Effective Date and at all times thereafter, Genentech, Roche and their Affiliates shall not terminate or seek to modify a PDL License Agreement on the express ground that the manufacture, use, offer to sell or sale of any Genentech Product, any other GNE Licensed Product, or any Licensed Product does not require a license under any component of the PDL Licensed Patents.
4.    Fixed Royalty Term and Fully Paid Up License.
4.1    The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Genentech owe any royalties to PDL under the 2014 Amended PLMA or the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of (i) Lucentis occurring in the United States after June 30, 2013, (ii) Lucentis occurring outside the United States after December 28, 2014, and (iii) Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla and any other GNE Licensed Product or Licensed Product occurring anywhere in the world after December 31, 2015, in each case of (i), (ii), and (iii) regardless of the expiry date or technical scope of any component of the PDL Licensed Patents.
4.2    Upon the satisfaction of all payment obligations provided for in Section 4 of the 2014 Amended PLMA and the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of Lucentis occurring in the United States on or prior to June 30, 2013, Genentech shall have a fully paid up license under all PDL Licensed Patents (in existence or not as of the Effective Date) with respect to Net Sales of Lucentis occurring in the United States.

6



4.3    Upon the satisfaction of all payment obligations provided for in Section 4 of the 2014 Amended PLMA and the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of Lucentis occurring outside the United States on or prior to December 28, 2014, Genentech shall have a fully paid up license under all PDL Licensed Patents (in existence or not as of the Effective Date) with respect to Lucentis.
4.4    Upon the satisfaction, on a product by product basis, of all payment obligations provided for in Section 4 of the 2014 Amended PLMA and the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla, or any other GNE Licensed Product or Licensed Product (other than Lucentis) occurring anywhere in the world on or prior to December 31, 2015, Genentech shall have a fully paid up license, on a product by product basis, under all PDL Licensed Patents (in existence or not as of the Effective Date) with respect to Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla and any other GNE Licensed Product or Licensed Product.
5.    No Disclosure of Attorney Work Product to Third Parties.
5.1    For the period commencing on the Effective Date and terminating on Genentech’s payment of all royalties owed to PDL for Net Sales of GNE Licensed Products or Licensed Products for all quarters through and including the fourth quarter of 2015 (notwithstanding any disputes concerning the amount of royalties paid, irrespective of whether such disputes are based on an audit pursuant to Section 3.09 of any PDL License Agreement (as amended)), Genentech and Roche shall not disclose to any Third Party any materials protected by the attorney work product doctrine specifically relating to the validity, enforceability, patentability, or allowability of any component of the PDL Licensed Patents and/or the interpretation or construction of any claims therein and/or the validity or enforceability of the PDL License Agreements (collectively, “AWP Materials”). Nothing contained herein precludes Genentech, Roche, or their Affiliates from: (i) characterizing any aspect of any component of the PDL Licensed Patents (including without limitation one or more claims) in prosecuting their own patent applications or in litigation with a Third Party concerning a patent owned by a Third Party or by Genentech, Roche, or their Affiliates, or (ii) producing AWP Materials to a Third Party in connection with a Legal Proceeding involving such Third Party if (a) any of Genentech, Roche, or their Affiliates is served with a subpoena or other discovery request calling for the production of AWP Materials in a Legal Proceeding and (b) whichever of Genentech, Roche, or their Affiliates is served with such subpoena or other discovery request reasonably and in good faith believes such production to be required by law based upon the advice of outside counsel and provides at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to PDL before producing any AWP Materials to the Third Party (or as promptly as possible, if production is required less than fourteen (14) days after service of the subpoena or discovery request) and uses reasonable efforts to prevent such disclosure, including when appropriate, seeking a protective order as permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall not be a breach of this Section 5 for Genentech, Roche or their Affiliates to engage in the activities specified in subsections (i) and/or (ii) above.
5.2    Not later than ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Genentech and Roche shall instruct in writing their outside counsel (i.e., one attorney at each law firm) engaged for any matter specifically relating to the PDL Licensed Patents during the period commencing from and including January 1, 2009 through and including the Effective Date (“Outside Counsel”) not to make any disclosure to any Third Party of AWP Materials generated or obtained in connection with such Outside Counsel’s representation of Genentech, Roche, and/or their Affiliates (including any AWP Materials in the possession of experts or consultants retained or instructed by such Outside Counsel). PDL shall

7


have the right, but not the obligation, not later than five (5) days after the Effective Date, to provide to Genentech a list of all Outside Counsel which PDL believes should be notified under this Section 5.2 (provided, however, that PDL’s failure to provide such a list to Genentech shall not relieve Genentech and Roche from their obligations under this Section 5.2). Neither Genentech nor Roche, nor any of their Affiliates, nor any of their Outside Counsel, shall have any liability to PDL in the event Outside Counsel does not follow the instructions provided for in this Section 5.2 and the failure of Outside Counsel to follow the instructions shall not be a breach of this Confidential Settlement Agreement. Nothing herein shall relieve any Party or its counsel from complying with the obligations set forth in the Protective Order entered in the Nevada Litigation. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall affect any damages recoverable for a breach of Section 2.4(d) of the 2003 Settlement Agreement (as amended).
6.    Releases and Dismissals.
6.1    Release by PDL. Except as set forth in Section 6.3, PDL, on behalf of itself and its predecessors, successors, assigns, and Affiliates, does hereby now and forever release and discharge the Defendant Released Parties from any and all Claims arising out of, related to, or connected with the PLMA, the 2003 Settlement Agreement, the PDL License Agreements, and the KPMG Audit based on any act or omission occurring before the Effective Date, including but not limited to any and all Claims asserted by PDL in the Nevada Litigation or the AAA Arbitration. PDL, on behalf of itself and its predecessors, successors, assigns, and Affiliates, also hereby now and forever waives the exercise of any rights provided to it under section 3.09 in each of the PDL License Agreements for Net Sales occurring prior to August 15, 2013.
6.2    Release by Genentech and Roche. Except as set forth in Section 6.3, Genentech and Roche, on behalf of themselves and their predecessors, successors, assigns, and Affiliates, do hereby now and forever release and discharge the PDL Released Parties from any and all Claims arising out of, related to, or connected with the PLMA, the 2003 Settlement Agreement, the PDL License Agreements, and the KPMG Audit based on any act or omission occurring before the Effective Date, including but not limited to any and all Claims asserted by Genentech and/or Roche in the Nevada Litigation or the AAA Arbitration.
6.3    Exceptions to Released Claims. Except as expressly stated in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above, nothing contained in Section 6 or elsewhere in this Confidential Settlement Agreement shall be deemed to (i) release or discharge Genentech from its continuing obligation to pay royalties to PDL pursuant to the 2014 Amended PLMA, the 2003 Settlement Agreement (as amended pursuant to Exhibit B), and the PDL License Agreements (as amended pursuant to Exhibits C, D, E, and F); or (ii) prohibit PDL from conducting an inspection of Genentech pursuant to Section 3.09 of the PDL License Agreements (as amended pursuant to Exhibits C, D, E, and F), for any period of Net Sales subsequent to and including August 15, 2013, or to release or discharge Genentech from its obligation to pay any amount found to be owing but unpaid for any such period.
6.4    Waiver of Right to Assert Unknown Claims. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is their intent to release and discharge the Claims set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, irrespective of whether such Claims are known or unknown to any or all Parties, and irrespective of whether such Claims, if actually unknown to a Party, could or could not have been discovered by that Party through the exercise of reasonable diligence. The Parties knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally, and expressly waive any and all rights and benefits under any and all laws (including but not limited to

8


statutes, ordinances, administrative regulations, and principles of common law) of any state, province, territory, county, city, municipality, or any other political subdivision of the United States or any foreign country, that would restrict in any fashion the full scope of enforceability of the releases set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally and expressly waive any and all rights and benefits conferred by California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
6.5    Covenant Not to Sue. The Parties and their Affiliates shall not now or at any time in the future initiate any Legal Proceeding anywhere in the world asserting any Claim released pursuant to this Confidential Settlement Agreement or barred by the provisions of Section 2 to the 2003 Settlement Agreement (as amended pursuant to Exhibit B). Any Party that breaches (or whose Affiliate breaches) the obligations under this Section 6.5: (i) consents to the dismissal of such Legal Proceeding and to the entry of a permanent injunction restraining the breaching Party (or Affiliate) from initiating any future Legal Proceedings asserting any such released or barred Claim; and (ii) shall be liable to all other Parties and their Affiliates for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in securing the dismissal of such Legal Proceeding and the entry of such permanent injunction.
6.6    Dismissal of the Nevada Litigation and Writ Proceeding. Not later than three (3) business days after the Effective Date, the Parties shall cause their counsel to execute and promptly file a stipulated order of dismissal (substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto) dismissing with prejudice all claims in the Nevada Litigation pursuant to Nevada Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(ii). In addition, not later than three (3) business days after the Effective Date, the Parties shall cause their counsel to execute and promptly file a stipulated order of dismissal (substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto) dismissing with prejudice the special writ proceeding initiated by Genentech and Roche and pending as of the Effective Date in the Supreme Court of Nevada, Case No. 63283 (the “Writ Proceeding”). Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the Nevada Litigation and the Writ Proceeding.
6.7    Motion to Vacate the Discovery Order. Not later than three (3) business days after the Effective Date, the Parties shall cause their counsel to execute and promptly file a joint motion (substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto) to vacate the Discovery Order. Upon the filing of the joint motion referenced in this Section 6.7, PDL shall have no further obligation to seek or advocate for an order vacating the Discovery Order, but PDL shall reasonably cooperate with Genentech, at Genentech’s request and with advance notice, to provide information necessary or appropriate for any further action taken by Genentech to vacate the Discovery Order and shall do nothing to oppose any effort by Genentech to vacate the Discovery Order.
6.8    Dismissal of the AAA Arbitration.

Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs in

9


connection with the AAA Arbitration and the KPMG Audit.

EXHIBIT A
Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Patent Licensing Master Agreement






AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED PATENT LICENSING MASTER AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Patent Licensing Master Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) is entered into as of the Effective Date by and between PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”) and Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech” or “GNE”) (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), and amends that certain Amended and Restated Patent Licensing Master Agreement dated July 27, 2009 (the “PLMA”).

Except as expressly provided herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the PLMA and references to Sections shall be deemed references to the PLMA.

WHEREAS, PDL and Genentech are Parties to the PLMA; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the Parties’ execution of that certain Confidential Settlement Agreement by and between PDL, Genentech, and F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd executed concurrently herewith (the “2014 Settlement Agreement”), the Parties deem it to be in their best interests and to their mutual advantage to amend the PLMA as set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1.The Effective Date of this Amendment No. 1 shall be August 15, 2013.

2.Section 1.1 of the PLMA is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.1:
1.1    “Affiliate” shall mean any Entity that, on or after the Effective Date of Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, another Entity; and “control” for purposes of this definition shall mean the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of substantially all of the management and policies of an Entity, whether through the ownership of voting stock, by contract or otherwise. In the case of a corporation, “control” shall include the direct or indirect ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock. An Entity shall be an Affiliate only during such period of time that such Entity meets the definition set forth in this Section 1.1. With respect to Genentech and Roche, the term “Affiliate” shall not include Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Chugai”) unless and until Genentech or Roche provides written notice to PDL specifying Chugai as an Affiliate.


3.The following Section 1.1.1 is added to the PLMA:

1.1.1    “Entity” means a trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association, unincorporated organization or other legally recognized form of organization. “Person” shall mean any natural person or Entity.

A Person shall be a Designee only during such period of time that such Person meets the definition set forth in this Section 1.1.2. The Parties acknowledge and agree, for the avoidance of doubt, that each of Roche and Novartis Pharma AG shall be considered a Designee of Genentech (each with respect to certain Licensed Product(s) or GNE Licensed Product(s)) for purposes of this Agreement and the PDL License Agreements (as amended).
5.Section 1.7 of the PLMA is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.7:
1.7    “GNE Licensed Product” means an Antibody with respect to which GNE has either significant marketing rights or has done significant development (e.g., created, humanized or conducted preclinical or clinical development), the manufacture, import, use, offer to sell or sale of which would, if not licensed under this Agreement, infringe one or more claims in any PDL Licensed Patent, or infringe any component of the PDL Licensed Patents (including supplementary protection certificates or applications therefor), which have neither expired nor been disclaimed.

PDL Licensed Patents shall also include any foreign equivalents, addition, continuation, continuation-in-part or division of such patents or patent applications or any substitute applications therefor, any patent issued with respect to any such patent application, any reissue, extension or patent term

2


extension of any such patent (including supplementary protection certificates and any other similar foreign equivalent and any applications therefor), and any confirmation patent or registration patent or patent of addition based on any such patent. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a list of patents, patent applications, and supplementary protection certificates (including applications therefor) that PDL in good faith believes (i) represents PDL Licensed Patents as of the Effective Date and (ii) represents all of the patents, patent applications, and supplementary protection certificates (including applications therefor) owned by PDL as of the Effective Date that relate generally to the humanization of antibodies.

any other GNE Licensed Product or Licensed Product (with the exception of Lucentis as discussed in Sections 4.1(b)-(d) below) by Genentech and/or its Affiliates and/or Designees to Third Parties occurring in any country in the world, occurring any time from (and including) August 15, 2013 until (and including) December 31, 2015.

(b)Genentech agrees and covenants to pay royalties to PDL, notwithstanding any provision of any PDL License Agreement to the contrary, at the rate of two and one eighth percent (2.125%) of Net Sales of Lucentis by Genentech and/or its Affiliates and/or Designees to Third Parties occurring outside of the United States, occurring any time from (and including) August 15, 2013 until (and including) December 28, 2014.

(c)Genentech shall owe no royalties to PDL on Net Sales of Lucentis in the United States occurring after June 30, 2013.

1.     The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Genentech owe any royalties to PDL under this Agreement or the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of (i) Lucentis occurring in the United States after June 30, 2013, (ii) Lucentis occurring outside the United States after December 28, 2014, and (iii) Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla and any other GNE Licensed Product or Licensed Product occurring anywhere in the world after December 31, 2015, in each case of (i), (ii), and (iii) regardless of the expiry date or technical scope of any component of the PDL Licensed Patents.

Genentech and PDL will share equally the cost of the testing. The determination of the independent laboratory or expert will be final and binding on Genentech and PDL.

25.Section 5.1(c) of the PLMA is deleted in its entirety.

26.Section 7.1 of the PLMA is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 7.1:

The Parties acknowledge and agree, for the avoidance of doubt, that each of Roche and Novartis Pharma AG shall be considered a Designee of Genentech (each with respect to certain Licensed Product(s) or GNE Licensed Product(s)) for purposes of this Agreement.
5.Section 1.08 of the Form of License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.08:
1.08    “Licensed Product” means an Antibody with respect to which GNE has either significant marketing rights or has done significant development (e.g., created, humanized or conducted preclinical or clinical development), the manufacture, import, use, offer to sell or sale of which would infringe, if not licensed under this Agreement, a Valid Claim. GNE agrees and stipulates, for the avoidance of doubt, that _______ is a Licensed Product.

6.Section 1.09 of the Form of License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.09:
1.09    “Net Sales” means the aggregate gross revenues, whether in cash or in kind, corresponding to the price actually invoiced for the sale or other transfer of Finished Products by GNE, and/or by an Affiliate and/or by a Designee of GNE to one or more Third Parties, less Five Percent (5%) to cover the following: (a) credits or allowances, if any, actually granted on account of price adjustments, recalls, rejection, or return of items previously sold, (b) excise and sales taxes, or duties, imposed on and paid by GNE or by an Affiliate or Designee of GNE with respect to such sales (excluding income or franchise taxes of any kind), and (c) outer packing, freight and freight insurance costs. If GNE or any of its Affiliates or Designees receive non-cash consideration for any Finished Product sold or otherwise transferred to a Third Party, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of such transfer as known to GNE, or as reasonably estimated by GNE if unknown, shall be included in the definition of Net Sales. Net Sales shall not include Finished Products provided for bona fide clinical trial, evaluation, research or development purposes.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the 2014 Settlement Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, for purposes of calculating Net Sales, the term “aggregate gross revenues” in this Section 1.09 (i) specifically excludes Value Added Tax (VAT); and (ii) shall be calculated based on the price actually invoiced for the sale of Finished Products by GNE, its Affiliates, and its Designees; provided, however, in the event GNE or any of its Affiliates or Designees receive,

2


in part or whole, non-cash consideration for such sale, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of such transfer as known to GNE, or as reasonably estimated by GNE if unknown, shall also be included in the calculation of aggregate gross revenues.
Net Sales for Bulk Products shall be calculated by multiplying the units of Finished Product to which such Bulk Product is reasonably anticipated to be converted by the established market price in the country of sale of the Finished Product on the date of sale of the Bulk Product. By way of example and without limitation, units of Finished Product may be measured in grams or doses, as appropriate.
The method of calculating Net Sales of materials in a form other than Finished Product or Bulk Product that can be converted into Finished Product shall be established by good faith discussion between PDL and GNE.
For the sake of clarity, no sale or transfer of Finished Product or Bulk Product by GNE or Roche to any of their Affiliates or Designees shall be included within Net Sales because such a sale or transfer is not a sale or transfer to a Third Party.

7.Section 1.10 of the Form of License Agreement is deleted in its entirety.
8.Section 1.11 of the Form of License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.11:

(As of the Effective Date, Genentech uses the average year to date exchange rate as reported by Reuters.)

EXHIBIT 1 to Amendment No. 1 to the Form PDL License Agreement

Audit Protocol







Exhibit 1

Inspection Procedures
Any inspection of books and records conducted pursuant to Section 3.09 of the PDL License Agreements (“Audit”) shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth below. To the extent Section 3.09 of any of the PDL License Agreements (“Section 3.09”) and the procedures specified in this Exhibit 1 are in conflict, this Exhibit 1 shall control.
1.
Time Period Subject to Audit; Time to Initiate Audit.
Net Sales subject to an Audit shall be limited to Net Sales occurring during the period from and including August 15, 2013 to and including December 31, 2015. Any Audit shall be initiated on or before June 30, 2016.

2.
Selection of Auditor.
PDL shall provide written notice to Genentech of its intention to conduct an Audit, including in such notice (i) a statement of what time period of Net Sales will be the subject of the Audit, and (ii) the name of an independent U.S. accounting firm (the “Auditor”) selected by PDL, subject to Genentech’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Auditor shall have substantial experience conducting royalty audits and knowledge of customary practices in conducting royalty audits.

3.
Scope of Audit.
Upon the commencement of the Audit, the Auditor shall propose in writing to Genentech all of the information that the Auditor believes at that time, in good faith and consistent with customary practice, to be reasonably required to conduct the Audit (the “Proposed Audit Plan”), i.e., information “showing the sales of Licensed Products in the Territory in sufficient detail to enable the royalties payable hereunder to be determined.” (Section 3.09). The Proposed Audit Plan shall also include a listing of all proposed interviews of Genentech personnel that the Auditor believes at that time, in good faith to be consistent with customary practice, to be reasonably required to conduct the Audit.


Within fourteen (14) days following Genentech’s receipt of the Proposed Audit Plan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Genentech shall meet in person with the Auditor to discuss the Proposed Audit Plan. In the event Genentech and the Auditor cannot agree on whether one or more items of information or interview(s) included in the Proposed Audit Plan are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, Genentech and PDL shall attempt to resolve between themselves whether such information or interview(s) is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required. In the event Genentech and PDL cannot agree, either Genentech or PDL may invoke Paragraph 6 below. Upon resolution of all disputes concerning the Proposed Audit Plan (by Genentech and the Auditor, Genentech and PDL, and/or pursuant to Paragraph 6 below), the Proposed Audit Plan, amended as

1


necessary to be consistent with the resolution of those disputes, shall be deemed the “Final Audit Plan”.

During the course of the Audit, the Auditor may request additional information and/or interviews that are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, even if not part of the Final Audit Plan. In the event Genentech and the Auditor cannot agree on whether one or more items of additional information or interview(s) are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, Genentech and PDL shall attempt to resolve between themselves whether such information or interview(s) is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required. In the event Genentech and PDL cannot agree, either Genentech or PDL may invoke Paragraph 6 below.

4.
Production of Information.
The Auditor shall then provide written notice to Genentech of the “Final Audit Plan.” Genentech shall take commercially diligent efforts to provide the information and interview(s) specified in the Final Audit Plan to the Auditor within six (6) months of receipt of such written notice except in the event of (i) exceptional circumstances or (ii) requests for additional information or interview(s) made after adoption of the Final Audit Plan, in which of cases (i) or (ii) the parties, in consultation with the Auditor, shall agree upon a reasonable extension of time for Genentech to provide all of the information and interview(s). Genentech shall take commercially reasonable efforts to secure the cooperation of its Affiliates and Designees if required to obtain any items of information specified in the Final Audit Plan; provided, however, any such efforts are subject to Genentech’s contractual rights and obligations in relation to such Affiliates and Designees. Any Affiliate’s or Designee’s failure to provide information within the prescribed six (6) month period shall not constitute a breach of this paragraph 4.

5.
Limitations on Genentech’s Obligations.
For the sake of clarity, but without limitation, Genentech’s provision of information and/or interview(s) of personnel for purposes of the Audit is subject to Genentech’s records preservation obligations as set forth in Section 3.09 of the PDL License Agreements, Genentech’s contractual rights and obligations with regard to its Affiliates and Designees, and any and all applicable legal privileges.

6.
Resolution of Disputes Concerning Audit Data.
To facilitate the rapid resolution of disputes concerning whether certain information or interview(s) of personnel is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, within fourteen (14) days of Genentech’s receipt of the Proposed Audit Plan, Genentech and PDL shall agree upon and jointly engage a neutral third party who shall be a mutually-agreed upon expert in royalty accounting from a “Big Four” accounting firm (“the Neutral Auditor”).


The role of the Neutral Auditor shall be limited to resolving whether certain information or interview(s) of personnel sought by the Auditor is sought in good faith, consistent with customary

2


practice, and reasonably required to conduct the Audit (including how to interpret the language “sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required to conduct the Audit”). The Neutral Auditor’s resolution of such a dispute shall be binding, final and unappealable. The Neutral Auditor shall have authority only to resolve disputes concerning the scope of information and interviews of personnel to be provided to the Auditor. The Neutral Auditor shall have no authority to resolve any other issue or dispute, including but not limited to any dispute between Genentech and PDL relating to or involving (i) the interpretation of any provision, or portion thereof, of any PDL License Agreement, the 2014 Amended PLMA, the 2003 Settlement Agreement (as amended) or the 2014 Settlement Agreement; (ii) an alleged underpayment or overpayment of royalties; or (iii) any matter whatsoever other than the scope of information and interviews of personnel to be provided to the Auditor. In the event the Parties disagree regarding whether a particular issue or dispute is subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor, such issue or dispute shall not be subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor and instead shall be exclusively subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA. By way of example (but not limitation), if the Auditor requests information that may be reasonably required for the Audit based on PDL’s interpretation of a particular contract provision but that may not be reasonably required for the Audit based on Genentech’s interpretation of such contract provision, such dispute (regardless of whether it is characterized as a dispute about whether the information is reasonably required for the Audit and/or a dispute about the interpretation of the contract provision) shall not be subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor, and must be resolved, if at all, pursuant to Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA.
 

The procedure for resolution of disputes by the Neutral Auditor shall be determined in conjunction with the Neutral Auditor upon his/her engagement, but PDL and Genentech agree that (i) written submissions shall be permitted and shared between the Auditor, PDL and Genentech; (ii) each dispute referred to the Neutral Auditor shall be resolved no later than fourteen (14) days after such referral; and (iii) the standard to be applied by the Neutral Auditor is whether the information or interview(s) of personnel sought by the Auditor is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required for the Audit.


PDL and Genentech agree that any and all materials and information and communications generated during and in relation to the resolution of any dispute by the Neutral Auditor, (including but not limited to, Party submissions to the Neutral Auditor, statements, findings, or determinations by the Neutral Auditor, correspondence between the Parties, correspondence between PDL or Genentech and the Auditor) in any form whatsoever, shall be inadmissible in any arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA or any other legal proceeding between PDL and Genentech. All fees and costs incurred by the Neutral Auditor shall be shared equally by PDL and Genentech.

4


or their Affiliates, to challenge the validity, enforceability, patentability, or allowability of any component of the PDL Patent Family and/or any claims therein.

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE HER-2 LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 2 to the HER-2 License Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”) is entered into as of the Effective Date by and between PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”) and Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech” or “GNE”) (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), and amends that certain PDL License Agreement directed to the antigen HER-2 dated November 3, 1998 (as amended on December 18, 2003), by and between PDL and Genentech (the “HER-2 License Agreement”).

Except as expressly provided herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the HER-2 License Agreement and references to Sections shall be deemed references to the HER-2 License Agreement.

WHEREAS, PDL and Genentech are Parties to the HER-2 License Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the Parties’ execution of that certain Confidential Settlement Agreement by and between PDL, Genentech, and F. Hoffmann La-Roche Ltd executed concurrently herewith (the “2014 Settlement Agreement”), the Parties deem it to be in their best interests and to their mutual advantage to amend the HER-2 License Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1.The Effective Date of this Amendment No. 2 shall be the effective date of the 2014 Settlement Agreement.

2.Section 1.01 of the HER-2 License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.01:
1.01    “Affiliate” shall mean any Entity that, on or after the Effective Date of Amendment No. 2 to this Agreement, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, another Entity; and “control” for purposes of this definition shall mean the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of substantially all of the management and policies of an Entity, whether through the ownership of voting stock, by contract or otherwise. In the case of a corporation, “control” shall include the direct or indirect ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock. An Entity shall be an Affiliate only during such period of time that such Entity meets the definition set forth in this Section 1.01. With respect to Genentech and Roche, the term “Affiliate” shall not include Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Chugai”) unless and until Genentech or Roche provides written notice to PDL specifying Chugai as an Affiliate.

3.The following Section 1.01.1 is added to the HER-2 License Agreement:

A Person shall be a Designee only during such period of time that such Person meets the definition set forth in this Section 1.01.2. The Parties acknowledge and agree, for the avoidance of doubt, that each of Roche and Novartis Pharma AG shall be considered a Designee of Genentech (each with respect to certain Licensed Product(s) or GNE Licensed Product(s)) for purposes of this Agreement.
5.Section 1.08 of the HER-2 License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.08:
1.08    “Licensed Product” means an Antibody with respect to which GNE has either significant marketing rights or has done significant development (e.g., created, humanized or conducted preclinical or clinical development), the manufacture, import, use, offer to sell or sale of which would infringe, if not licensed under this Agreement, a Valid Claim. GNE agrees and stipulates, for the avoidance of doubt, that trastuzumab (Herceptin), pertuzumab (Perjeta), and ado-trastuzumab emtansine (Kadcyla) are Licensed Products.

6.Section 1.09 of the HER-2 License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.09:
1.09    “Net Sales” means the aggregate gross revenues, whether in cash or in kind, corresponding to the price actually invoiced for the sale or other transfer of Finished Products by GNE, and/or by an Affiliate and/or by a Designee of GNE to one or more Third Parties, less Five Percent (5%) to cover the following: (a) credits or allowances, if any, actually granted on account of price adjustments, recalls, rejection, or return of items previously sold, (b) excise and sales taxes, or duties, imposed on and paid by GNE or by an Affiliate or Designee of GNE with respect to such sales (excluding income or franchise taxes of any kind), and (c) outer packing, freight and freight insurance costs. If GNE or any of its Affiliates or Designees receive non-cash consideration for any Finished Product sold or otherwise transferred to a Third Party, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of such transfer as known to GNE, or as reasonably estimated by GNE if unknown, shall be included in the definition of Net Sales. Net Sales shall not include Finished Products provided for bona fide clinical trial, evaluation, research or development purposes.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the 2014 Settlement Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, for purposes of calculating Net Sales, the term “aggregate gross revenues” in this Section 1.09 (i) specifically excludes Value Added Tax (VAT); and (ii) shall be calculated based on the price actually invoiced for the sale of Finished Products by GNE, its Affiliates, and its Designees; provided, however, in the event GNE or any of its Affiliates or Designees receive, in

2


part or whole, non-cash consideration for such sale, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of such transfer as known to GNE, or as reasonably estimated by GNE if unknown, shall also be included in the calculation of aggregate gross revenues.
Net Sales for Bulk Products shall be calculated by multiplying the units of Finished Product to which such Bulk Product is reasonably anticipated to be converted by the established market price in the country of sale of the Finished Product on the date of sale of the Bulk Product. By way of example and without limitation, units of Finished Product may be measured in grams or doses, as appropriate.
The method of calculating Net Sales of materials in a form other than Finished Product or Bulk Product that can be converted into Finished Product shall be established by good faith discussion between PDL and GNE.
For the sake of clarity, no sale or transfer of Finished Product or Bulk Product by GNE or Roche to any of their Affiliates or Designees shall be included within Net Sales because such a sale or transfer is not a sale or transfer to a Third Party.

(As of the Effective Date, Genentech uses the average year to date exchange rate as reported by Reuters.)
16.Section 3.08(a) of the HER-2 License Agreement is amended to delete the second-to-last sentence of the provision and replace it with the following:
These reports shall be certified by an officer of Genentech to the best of his or her knowledge after reasonable inquiry and shall state for each calendar quarter: (1) Net Sales of the Licensed Product in such quarter, (2) the amounts deducted pursuant to Section 1.09 of this Agreement in such quarter, and (3) the net royalty due to PDL thereon pursuant to this Article 3.

EXHIBIT 1 to Amendment No. 2 to the HER-2 PDL License Agreement
Audit Protocol







Exhibit 1

Inspection Procedures
Any inspection of books and records conducted pursuant to Section 3.09 of the PDL License Agreements (“Audit”) shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth below. To the extent Section 3.09 of any of the PDL License Agreements (“Section 3.09”) and the procedures specified in this Exhibit 1 are in conflict, this Exhibit 1 shall control.
1.
Time Period Subject to Audit; Time to Initiate Audit.
Net Sales subject to an Audit shall be limited to Net Sales occurring during the period from and including August 15, 2013 to and including December 31, 2015. Any Audit shall be initiated on or before June 30, 2016.

2.
Selection of Auditor.
PDL shall provide written notice to Genentech of its intention to conduct an Audit, including in such notice (i) a statement of what time period of Net Sales will be the subject of the Audit, and (ii) the name of an independent U.S. accounting firm (the “Auditor”) selected by PDL, subject to Genentech’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Auditor shall have substantial experience conducting royalty audits and knowledge of customary practices in conducting royalty audits.

3.
Scope of Audit.
Upon the commencement of the Audit, the Auditor shall propose in writing to Genentech all of the information that the Auditor believes at that time, in good faith and consistent with customary practice, to be reasonably required to conduct the Audit (the “Proposed Audit Plan”), i.e., information “showing the sales of Licensed Products in the Territory in sufficient detail to enable the royalties payable hereunder to be determined.” (Section 3.09). The Proposed Audit Plan shall also include a listing of all proposed interviews of Genentech personnel that the Auditor believes at that time, in good faith to be consistent with customary practice, to be reasonably required to conduct the Audit.


Within fourteen (14) days following Genentech’s receipt of the Proposed Audit Plan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Genentech shall meet in person with the Auditor to discuss the Proposed Audit Plan. In the event Genentech and the Auditor cannot agree on whether one or more items of information or interview(s) included in the Proposed Audit Plan are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, Genentech and PDL shall attempt to resolve between themselves whether such information or interview(s) is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required. In the event Genentech and PDL cannot agree, either Genentech or PDL may invoke Paragraph 6 below. Upon resolution of all disputes concerning the Proposed Audit Plan (by Genentech and the Auditor, Genentech and PDL, and/or pursuant to Paragraph 6 below), the Proposed Audit Plan, amended as

1


necessary to be consistent with the resolution of those disputes, shall be deemed the “Final Audit Plan”.

During the course of the Audit, the Auditor may request additional information and/or interviews that are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, even if not part of the Final Audit Plan. In the event Genentech and the Auditor cannot agree on whether one or more items of additional information or interview(s) are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, Genentech and PDL shall attempt to resolve between themselves whether such information or interview(s) is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required. In the event Genentech and PDL cannot agree, either Genentech or PDL may invoke Paragraph 6 below.

4.
Production of Information.
The Auditor shall then provide written notice to Genentech of the “Final Audit Plan.” Genentech shall take commercially diligent efforts to provide the information and interview(s) specified in the Final Audit Plan to the Auditor within six (6) months of receipt of such written notice except in the event of (i) exceptional circumstances or (ii) requests for additional information or interview(s) made after adoption of the Final Audit Plan, in which of cases (i) or (ii) the parties, in consultation with the Auditor, shall agree upon a reasonable extension of time for Genentech to provide all of the information and interview(s). Genentech shall take commercially reasonable efforts to secure the cooperation of its Affiliates and Designees if required to obtain any items of information specified in the Final Audit Plan; provided, however, any such efforts are subject to Genentech’s contractual rights and obligations in relation to such Affiliates and Designees. Any Affiliate’s or Designee’s failure to provide information within the prescribed six (6) month period shall not constitute a breach of this paragraph 4.

5.
Limitations on Genentech’s Obligations.
For the sake of clarity, but without limitation, Genentech’s provision of information and/or interview(s) of personnel for purposes of the Audit is subject to Genentech’s records preservation obligations as set forth in Section 3.09 of the PDL License Agreements, Genentech’s contractual rights and obligations with regard to its Affiliates and Designees, and any and all applicable legal privileges.

6.
Resolution of Disputes Concerning Audit Data.
To facilitate the rapid resolution of disputes concerning whether certain information or interview(s) of personnel is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, within fourteen (14) days of Genentech’s receipt of the Proposed Audit Plan, Genentech and PDL shall agree upon and jointly engage a neutral third party who shall be a mutually-agreed upon expert in royalty accounting from a “Big Four” accounting firm (“the Neutral Auditor”).


The role of the Neutral Auditor shall be limited to resolving whether certain information or interview(s) of personnel sought by the Auditor is sought in good faith, consistent with customary

2


practice, and reasonably required to conduct the Audit (including how to interpret the language “sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required to conduct the Audit”). The Neutral Auditor’s resolution of such a dispute shall be binding, final and unappealable. The Neutral Auditor shall have authority only to resolve disputes concerning the scope of information and interviews of personnel to be provided to the Auditor. The Neutral Auditor shall have no authority to resolve any other issue or dispute, including but not limited to any dispute between Genentech and PDL relating to or involving (i) the interpretation of any provision, or portion thereof, of any PDL License Agreement, the 2014 Amended PLMA, the 2003 Settlement Agreement (as amended) or the 2014 Settlement Agreement; (ii) an alleged underpayment or overpayment of royalties; or (iii) any matter whatsoever other than the scope of information and interviews of personnel to be provided to the Auditor. In the event the Parties disagree regarding whether a particular issue or dispute is subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor, such issue or dispute shall not be subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor and instead shall be exclusively subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA. By way of example (but not limitation), if the Auditor requests information that may be reasonably required for the Audit based on PDL’s interpretation of a particular contract provision but that may not be reasonably required for the Audit based on Genentech’s interpretation of such contract provision, such dispute (regardless of whether it is characterized as a dispute about whether the information is reasonably required for the Audit and/or a dispute about the interpretation of the contract provision) shall not be subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor, and must be resolved, if at all, pursuant to Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA.
 

The procedure for resolution of disputes by the Neutral Auditor shall be determined in conjunction with the Neutral Auditor upon his/her engagement, but PDL and Genentech agree that (i) written submissions shall be permitted and shared between the Auditor, PDL and Genentech; (ii) each dispute referred to the Neutral Auditor shall be resolved no later than fourteen (14) days after such referral; and (iii) the standard to be applied by the Neutral Auditor is whether the information or interview(s) of personnel sought by the Auditor is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required for the Audit.


PDL and Genentech agree that any and all materials and information and communications generated during and in relation to the resolution of any dispute by the Neutral Auditor, (including but not limited to, Party submissions to the Neutral Auditor, statements, findings, or determinations by the Neutral Auditor, correspondence between the Parties, correspondence between PDL or Genentech and the Auditor) in any form whatsoever, shall be inadmissible in any arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA or any other legal proceeding between PDL and Genentech. All fees and costs incurred by the Neutral Auditor shall be shared equally by PDL and Genentech.

EXHIBIT D
Amendment No. 1 to the VEGF PDL License Agreement







AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE VEGF LICENSE AGREEMENT
This Amendment No. 1 to the VEGF License Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) is entered into as of the Effective Date by and between PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”) and Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech” or “GNE”) (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), and amends that certain PDL License Agreement directed to the antigen VEGF dated March 5, 2004, by and between PDL and Genentech (the “VEGF License Agreement”).
Except as expressly provided herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the VEGF License Agreement and references to Sections shall be deemed references to the VEGF License Agreement.
WHEREAS, PDL and Genentech are Parties to the VEGF License Agreement; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the Parties’ execution of that certain Confidential Settlement Agreement by and between PDL, Genentech, and F. Hoffmann La-Roche Ltd executed concurrently herewith (the “2014 Settlement Agreement”), the Parties deem it to be in their best interests and to their mutual advantage to amend the VEGF License Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.    The Effective Date of this Amendment No. 1 shall be the effective date of the 2014 Settlement Agreement.
2.    Section 1.01 of the VEGF License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.01:
1.01    “Affiliate” shall mean any Entity that, on or after the Effective Date of Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, another Entity; and “control” for purposes of this definition shall mean the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of substantially all of the management and policies of an Entity, whether through the ownership of voting stock, by contract or otherwise. In the case of a corporation, “control” shall include the direct or indirect ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock. An Entity shall be an Affiliate only during such period of time that such Entity meets the definition set forth in this Section 1.01. With respect to Genentech and Roche, the term “Affiliate” shall not include Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Chugai”) unless and until Genentech or Roche provides written notice to PDL specifying Chugai as an Affiliate.
3.    The following Section 1.01.1 is added to the VEGF License Agreement:
1.01.1    “Entity” shall mean a trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association, unincorporated organization or other legally recognized form of organization. “Person” shall mean any natural person or Entity.
4.    The following Section 1.01.2 is added to the VEGF License Agreement:

1



1.01.2    “Designee” shall mean an Affiliate, sublicensee, co-promoting party, or other Person employed by or under contract with Genentech to sell, or otherwise authorized by Genentech to sell a particular Licensed Product or GNE Licensed Product (or Licensed Products or GNE Licensed Products) for or on behalf of Genentech. A Person shall be a Designee only during such period of time that such Person meets the definition set forth in this Section 1.01.2. The Parties acknowledge and agree, for the avoidance of doubt, that each of Roche and Novartis Pharma AG shall be considered a Designee of Genentech (each with respect to certain Licensed Product(s) or GNE Licensed Product(s)) for purposes of this Agreement.
5.    Section 1.08 of the VEGF License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.08:
1.08    “Licensed Product” means an Antibody with respect to which GNE has either significant marketing rights or has done significant development (e.g., created, humanized or conducted preclinical or clinical development), the manufacture, import, use, offer to sell or sale of which would infringe, if not licensed under this Agreement, a Valid Claim. GNE agrees and stipulates, for the avoidance of doubt, that bevacizumab (Avastin) and ranibizumab (Lucentis) are Licensed Products.
6.    Section 1.09 of the VEGF License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.09:
1.09    “Net Sales” means the aggregate gross revenues, whether in cash or in kind, corresponding to the price actually invoiced for the sale or other transfer of Finished Products by GNE, and/or by an Affiliate and/or by a Designee of GNE to one or more Third Parties, less Five Percent (5%) to cover the following: (a) credits or allowances, if any, actually granted on account of price adjustments, recalls, rejection, or return of items previously sold, (b) excise and sales taxes, or duties, imposed on and paid by GNE or by an Affiliate or Designee of GNE with respect to such sales (excluding income or franchise taxes of any kind), and (c) outer packing, freight and freight insurance costs. If GNE or any of its Affiliates or Designees receive non-cash consideration for any Finished Product sold or otherwise transferred to a Third Party, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of such transfer as known to GNE, or as reasonably estimated by GNE if unknown, shall be included in the definition of Net Sales. Net Sales shall not include Finished Products provided for bona fide clinical trial, evaluation, research or development purposes.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the 2014 Settlement Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, for purposes of calculating Net Sales, the term “aggregate gross revenues” in this Section 1.09 (i) specifically excludes Value Added Tax (VAT); and (ii) shall be calculated based on the price actually invoiced for the sale of Finished Products by GNE, its Affiliates, and its Designees; provided, however, in the event GNE or any of its Affiliates or Designees receive, in part or whole, non-cash consideration for such sale, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of such transfer as known to GNE, or as reasonably estimated by GNE if unknown, shall also be included in the calculation of aggregate gross revenues.

2



Net Sales for Bulk Products shall be calculated by multiplying the units of Finished Product to which such Bulk Product is reasonably anticipated to be converted by the established market price in the country of sale of the Finished Product on the date of sale of the Bulk Product. By way of example and without limitation, units of Finished Product may be measured in grams or doses, as appropriate.
The method of calculating Net Sales of materials in a form other than Finished Product or Bulk Product that can be converted into Finished Product shall be established by good faith discussion between PDL and GNE.
For the sake of clarity, no sale or transfer of Finished Product or Bulk Product by GNE or Roche to any of their Affiliates or Designees shall be included within Net Sales because such a sale or transfer is not a sale or transfer to a Third Party.
7.    Section 1.10 of the VEGF License Agreement is deleted in its entirety.
8.    Section 1.11 of the VEGF License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.11:
1.11    “PDL Licensed Patents” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.13 of the Amended and Restated Patent Licensing Master Agreement between PDL and Genentech, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto (the “2014 Amended PLMA”).

3


in the event that GNE (i) breaches its obligations under Sections 2.3 or 2.4 of the Settlement Agreement by and between PDL and GNE dated December 18, 2003 (as amended) (“2003 Settlement Agreement”); and (ii) fails to cure such breaches as provided under Section 4.2 of the 2003 Settlement Agreement, then PDL, at its sole discretion, may invoke its rights under Article 4 of the 2003 Settlement Agreement.
3.04.1    Fixed Royalty Term and Fully Paid Up License.
(a)    The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Genentech owe any royalties to PDL under the 2014 Amended PLMA or the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of (i) Lucentis occurring in the United States after June 30, 2013, (ii) Lucentis occurring outside the United States after December 28, 2014, and (iii) Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla and any other GNE Licensed Product or Licensed Product occurring anywhere in the world after December 31, 2015, in each case of (i), (ii), and (iii) regardless of the expiry date or technical scope of any component of the PDL Licensed Patents.
(b)    Upon the satisfaction of all payment obligations provided for in Section 4 of the 2014 Amended PLMA and the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of Lucentis occurring in the United States on or prior to June 30, 2013, Genentech shall have a fully paid up license under all PDL Licensed Patents (in existence or not as of the Effective Date) with respect to Net Sales of Lucentis occurring in the United States.
(c)    Upon the satisfaction of all payment obligations provided for in Section 4 of the 2014 Amended PLMA and the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of Lucentis occurring outside the United States on or prior to December 28, 2014, Genentech shall have a fully paid up license under all PDL Licensed Patents (in existence or not as of the Effective Date) with respect to Lucentis.
(d)    Upon the satisfaction, on a product by product basis, of all payment obligations provided for in Section 4 of the 2014 Amended PLMA and the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla, or any other GNE Licensed Product or Licensed Product (other than Lucentis) occurring anywhere in the world on or prior to December 31, 2015, Genentech shall have a fully paid up license, on a product by product basis, under all PDL Licensed Patents (in existence or not as of the Effective Date) with respect to Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla and any other GNE Licensed Product or Licensed Product.
15.    Section 3.07 is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 3.07:
3.07    Currency Conversion. All amounts payable to PDL under this Agreement shall be payable in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to a bank account designated by PDL.

4

EXHIBIT 1 to Amendment No. 1 to the VEGF PDL License Agreement
Audit Protocol







Exhibit 1

Inspection Procedures
Any inspection of books and records conducted pursuant to Section 3.09 of the PDL License Agreements (“Audit”) shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth below. To the extent Section 3.09 of any of the PDL License Agreements (“Section 3.09”) and the procedures specified in this Exhibit 1 are in conflict, this Exhibit 1 shall control.
1.
Time Period Subject to Audit; Time to Initiate Audit.
Net Sales subject to an Audit shall be limited to Net Sales occurring during the period from and including August 15, 2013 to and including December 31, 2015. Any Audit shall be initiated on or before June 30, 2016.

2.
Selection of Auditor.
PDL shall provide written notice to Genentech of its intention to conduct an Audit, including in such notice (i) a statement of what time period of Net Sales will be the subject of the Audit, and (ii) the name of an independent U.S. accounting firm (the “Auditor”) selected by PDL, subject to Genentech’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Auditor shall have substantial experience conducting royalty audits and knowledge of customary practices in conducting royalty audits.

3.
Scope of Audit.
Upon the commencement of the Audit, the Auditor shall propose in writing to Genentech all of the information that the Auditor believes at that time, in good faith and consistent with customary practice, to be reasonably required to conduct the Audit (the “Proposed Audit Plan”), i.e., information “showing the sales of Licensed Products in the Territory in sufficient detail to enable the royalties payable hereunder to be determined.” (Section 3.09). The Proposed Audit Plan shall also include a listing of all proposed interviews of Genentech personnel that the Auditor believes at that time, in good faith to be consistent with customary practice, to be reasonably required to conduct the Audit.


Within fourteen (14) days following Genentech’s receipt of the Proposed Audit Plan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Genentech shall meet in person with the Auditor to discuss the Proposed Audit Plan. In the event Genentech and the Auditor cannot agree on whether one or more items of information or interview(s) included in the Proposed Audit Plan are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, Genentech and PDL shall attempt to resolve between themselves whether such information or interview(s) is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required. In the event Genentech and PDL cannot agree, either Genentech or PDL may invoke Paragraph 6 below. Upon resolution of all disputes concerning the Proposed Audit Plan (by Genentech and the Auditor, Genentech and PDL, and/or pursuant to Paragraph 6 below), the Proposed Audit Plan, amended as

1


necessary to be consistent with the resolution of those disputes, shall be deemed the “Final Audit Plan”.

During the course of the Audit, the Auditor may request additional information and/or interviews that are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, even if not part of the Final Audit Plan. In the event Genentech and the Auditor cannot agree on whether one or more items of additional information or interview(s) are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, Genentech and PDL shall attempt to resolve between themselves whether such information or interview(s) is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required. In the event Genentech and PDL cannot agree, either Genentech or PDL may invoke Paragraph 6 below.

4.
Production of Information.
The Auditor shall then provide written notice to Genentech of the “Final Audit Plan.” Genentech shall take commercially diligent efforts to provide the information and interview(s) specified in the Final Audit Plan to the Auditor within six (6) months of receipt of such written notice except in the event of (i) exceptional circumstances or (ii) requests for additional information or interview(s) made after adoption of the Final Audit Plan, in which of cases (i) or (ii) the parties, in consultation with the Auditor, shall agree upon a reasonable extension of time for Genentech to provide all of the information and interview(s). Genentech shall take commercially reasonable efforts to secure the cooperation of its Affiliates and Designees if required to obtain any items of information specified in the Final Audit Plan; provided, however, any such efforts are subject to Genentech’s contractual rights and obligations in relation to such Affiliates and Designees. Any Affiliate’s or Designee’s failure to provide information within the prescribed six (6) month period shall not constitute a breach of this paragraph 4.

5.
Limitations on Genentech’s Obligations.
For the sake of clarity, but without limitation, Genentech’s provision of information and/or interview(s) of personnel for purposes of the Audit is subject to Genentech’s records preservation obligations as set forth in Section 3.09 of the PDL License Agreements, Genentech’s contractual rights and obligations with regard to its Affiliates and Designees, and any and all applicable legal privileges.

6.
Resolution of Disputes Concerning Audit Data.
To facilitate the rapid resolution of disputes concerning whether certain information or interview(s) of personnel is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, within fourteen (14) days of Genentech’s receipt of the Proposed Audit Plan, Genentech and PDL shall agree upon and jointly engage a neutral third party who shall be a mutually-agreed upon expert in royalty accounting from a “Big Four” accounting firm (“the Neutral Auditor”).


The role of the Neutral Auditor shall be limited to resolving whether certain information or interview(s) of personnel sought by the Auditor is sought in good faith, consistent with customary

2


practice, and reasonably required to conduct the Audit (including how to interpret the language “sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required to conduct the Audit”). The Neutral Auditor’s resolution of such a dispute shall be binding, final and unappealable. The Neutral Auditor shall have authority only to resolve disputes concerning the scope of information and interviews of personnel to be provided to the Auditor. The Neutral Auditor shall have no authority to resolve any other issue or dispute, including but not limited to any dispute between Genentech and PDL relating to or involving (i) the interpretation of any provision, or portion thereof, of any PDL License Agreement, the 2014 Amended PLMA, the 2003 Settlement Agreement (as amended) or the 2014 Settlement Agreement; (ii) an alleged underpayment or overpayment of royalties; or (iii) any matter whatsoever other than the scope of information and interviews of personnel to be provided to the Auditor. In the event the Parties disagree regarding whether a particular issue or dispute is subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor, such issue or dispute shall not be subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor and instead shall be exclusively subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA. By way of example (but not limitation), if the Auditor requests information that may be reasonably required for the Audit based on PDL’s interpretation of a particular contract provision but that may not be reasonably required for the Audit based on Genentech’s interpretation of such contract provision, such dispute (regardless of whether it is characterized as a dispute about whether the information is reasonably required for the Audit and/or a dispute about the interpretation of the contract provision) shall not be subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor, and must be resolved, if at all, pursuant to Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA.
 

The procedure for resolution of disputes by the Neutral Auditor shall be determined in conjunction with the Neutral Auditor upon his/her engagement, but PDL and Genentech agree that (i) written submissions shall be permitted and shared between the Auditor, PDL and Genentech; (ii) each dispute referred to the Neutral Auditor shall be resolved no later than fourteen (14) days after such referral; and (iii) the standard to be applied by the Neutral Auditor is whether the information or interview(s) of personnel sought by the Auditor is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required for the Audit.


PDL and Genentech agree that any and all materials and information and communications generated during and in relation to the resolution of any dispute by the Neutral Auditor, (including but not limited to, Party submissions to the Neutral Auditor, statements, findings, or determinations by the Neutral Auditor, correspondence between the Parties, correspondence between PDL or Genentech and the Auditor) in any form whatsoever, shall be inadmissible in any arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA or any other legal proceeding between PDL and Genentech. All fees and costs incurred by the Neutral Auditor shall be shared equally by PDL and Genentech.

EXHIBIT E
Amendment No. 1 to the IgE PDL License Agreement








AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE IgE LICENSE AGREEMENT
This Amendment No. 1 to the IgE License Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) is entered into as of the Effective Date by and between PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”) and Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech” or “GNE”) (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), and amends that certain PDL License Agreement directed to the antigen IgE dated December 18, 2003, by and between PDL and Genentech (the “IgE License Agreement”).
Except as expressly provided herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the IgE License Agreement and references to Sections shall be deemed references to the IgE License Agreement.
WHEREAS, PDL and Genentech are Parties to the IgE License Agreement; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the Parties’ execution of that certain Confidential Settlement Agreement by and between PDL, Genentech, and F. Hoffmann La-Roche Ltd executed concurrently herewith (the “2014 Settlement Agreement”), the Parties deem it to be in their best interests and to their mutual advantage to amend the IgE License Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.    The Effective Date of this Amendment No. 1 shall be the effective date of the 2014 Settlement Agreement.
2.    Section 1.01 of the IgE License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.01:
1.01    “Affiliate” shall mean any Entity that, on or after the Effective Date of Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, another Entity; and “control” for purposes of this definition shall mean the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of substantially all of the management and policies of an Entity, whether through the ownership of voting stock, by contract or otherwise. In the case of a corporation, “control” shall include the direct or indirect ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock. An Entity shall be an Affiliate only during such period of time that such Entity meets the definition set forth in this Section 1.01. With respect to Genentech and Roche, the term “Affiliate” shall not include Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Chugai”) unless and until Genentech or Roche provides written notice to PDL specifying Chugai as an Affiliate.
3.    The following Section 1.01.1 is added to the IgE License Agreement:
1.01.1    “Entity” shall mean a trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association, unincorporated organization or other legally recognized form of organization. “Person” shall mean any natural person or Entity.
4.    The following Section 1.01.2 is added to the IgE License Agreement:

1



1.01.2    “Designee” shall mean an Affiliate, sublicensee, co-promoting party, or other Person employed by or under contract with Genentech to sell, or otherwise authorized by Genentech to sell a particular Licensed Product or GNE Licensed Product (or Licensed Products or GNE Licensed Products) for or on behalf of Genentech. A Person shall be a Designee only during such period of time that such Person meets the definition set forth in this Section 1.01.2. The Parties acknowledge and agree, for the avoidance of doubt, that each of Roche and Novartis Pharma AG shall be considered a Designee of Genentech (each with respect to certain Licensed Product(s) or GNE Licensed Product(s)) for purposes of this Agreement.
5.    Section 1.08 of the IgE License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.08:
1.08    “Licensed Product” means an Antibody with respect to which GNE has either significant marketing rights or has done significant development (e.g., created, humanized or conducted preclinical or clinical development), the manufacture, import, use, offer to sell or sale of which would infringe, if not licensed under this Agreement, a Valid Claim. GNE agrees and stipulates, for the avoidance of doubt, that omalizumab (Xolair) is a Licensed Product.
6.    Section 1.09 of the IgE License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.09:
1.09    “Net Sales” means the aggregate gross revenues, whether in cash or in kind, corresponding to the price actually invoiced for the sale or other transfer of Finished Products by GNE, and/or by an Affiliate and/or by a Designee of GNE to one or more Third Parties, less Five Percent (5%) to cover the following: (a) credits or allowances, if any, actually granted on account of price adjustments, recalls, rejection, or return of items previously sold, (b) excise and sales taxes, or duties, imposed on and paid by GNE or by an Affiliate or Designee of GNE with respect to such sales (excluding income or franchise taxes of any kind), and (c) outer packing, freight and freight insurance costs. If GNE or any of its Affiliates or Designees receive non-cash consideration for any Finished Product sold or otherwise transferred to a Third Party, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of such transfer as known to GNE, or as reasonably estimated by GNE if unknown, shall be included in the definition of Net Sales. Net Sales shall not include Finished Products provided for bona fide clinical trial, evaluation, research or development purposes.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the 2014 Settlement Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, for purposes of calculating Net Sales, the term “aggregate gross revenues” in this Section 1.09 (i) specifically excludes Value Added Tax (VAT); and (ii) shall be calculated based on the price actually invoiced for the sale of Finished Products by GNE, its Affiliates, and its Designees; provided, however, in the event GNE or any of its Affiliates or Designees receive, in part or whole, non-cash consideration for such sale, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of such transfer as known to GNE, or as reasonably estimated by GNE if unknown, shall also be included in the calculation of aggregate gross revenues.

2



Net Sales for Bulk Products shall be calculated by multiplying the units of Finished Product to which such Bulk Product is reasonably anticipated to be converted by the established market price in the country of sale of the Finished Product on the date of sale of the Bulk Product. By way of example and without limitation, units of Finished Product may be measured in grams or doses, as appropriate.
The method of calculating Net Sales of materials in a form other than Finished Product or Bulk Product that can be converted into Finished Product shall be established by good faith discussion between PDL and GNE.
For the sake of clarity, no sale or transfer of Finished Product or Bulk Product by GNE or Roche to any of their Affiliates or Designees shall be included within Net Sales because such a sale or transfer is not a sale or transfer to a Third Party.
7.    Section 1.10 of the IgE License Agreement is deleted in its entirety.
8.    Section 1.11 of the IgE License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.11:
1.11    “PDL Licensed Patents” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.13 of the Amended and Restated Patent Licensing Master Agreement between PDL and Genentech, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto (the “2014 Amended PLMA”).
9.    Section 1.12 of the IgE License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.12:
1.12    “Territory” means worldwide.
10.    Section 1.13 of the IgE License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.13:
1.13     “Valid Claim” means (i) any claim in any PDL Licensed Patent, or (ii) any component of the PDL Licensed Patents (including supplementary protection certificates or applications therefor), which has neither expired nor been disclaimed.
11.    The following Section 1.14 is added to the IgE License Agreement:
1.14    “Third Party” means any natural person or entity that is not Genentech or any of its Affiliates or Designees.
12.    Section 2.05 of the IgE License Agreement is deleted in its entirety.
13.    Section 3.03 of the IgE License Agreement is deleted in its entirety.
14.    Section 3.04 of the IgE License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 3.04:
3.04     Royalties to PDL. The royalties payable to PDL under this PDL License Agreement shall be as set forth in Section 4.1 of the 2014 Amended PLMA, except that

3


in the event that GNE (i) breaches its obligations under Sections 2.3 or 2.4 of the Settlement Agreement by and between PDL and GNE dated December 18, 2003 (as amended) (“2003 Settlement Agreement”); and (ii) fails to cure such breaches as provided under Section 4.2 of the 2003 Settlement Agreement, then PDL, at its sole discretion, may invoke its rights under Article 4 of the 2003 Settlement Agreement.
3.04.1    Fixed Royalty Term and Fully Paid Up License.
(a)    The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Genentech owe any royalties to PDL under the 2014 Amended PLMA or the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of (i) Lucentis occurring in the United States after June 30, 2013, (ii) Lucentis occurring outside the United States after December 28, 2014, and (iii) Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla and any other GNE Licensed Product or Licensed Product occurring anywhere in the world after December 31, 2015, in each case of (i), (ii), and (iii) regardless of the expiry date or technical scope of any component of the PDL Licensed Patents.
(b)    Upon the satisfaction of all payment obligations provided for in Section 4 of the 2014 Amended PLMA and the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of Lucentis occurring in the United States on or prior to June 30, 2013, Genentech shall have a fully paid up license under all PDL Licensed Patents (in existence or not as of the Effective Date) with respect to Net Sales of Lucentis occurring in the United States.
(c)    Upon the satisfaction of all payment obligations provided for in Section 4 of the 2014 Amended PLMA and the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of Lucentis occurring outside the United States on or prior to December 28, 2014, Genentech shall have a fully paid up license under all PDL Licensed Patents (in existence or not as of the Effective Date) with respect to Lucentis.
(d)    Upon the satisfaction, on a product by product basis, of all payment obligations provided for in Section 4 of the 2014 Amended PLMA and the PDL License Agreements on Net Sales of Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla, or any other GNE Licensed Product or Licensed Product (other than Lucentis) occurring anywhere in the world on or prior to December 31, 2015, Genentech shall have a fully paid up license, on a product by product basis, under all PDL Licensed Patents (in existence or not as of the Effective Date) with respect to Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla and any other GNE Licensed Product or Licensed Product.
15.    Section 3.07 is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 3.07:
3.07    Currency Conversion. All amounts payable to PDL under this Agreement shall be payable in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to a bank account designated by PDL. When calculating Net Sales in currencies other than U.S. dollars, Genentech, its Affiliates and Designees shall convert the amount of such sales into U.S. dollars using the foreign currency translation method actually used on a consistent basis in preparing

4


its audited financial statements. (As of the Effective Date, Genentech uses the average year to date exchange rate as reported by Reuters.)
16.    Section 3.08(a) of the IgE License Agreement is amended to delete the second-to-last sentence of the provision and replace it with the following:
These reports shall be certified by an officer of Genentech to the best of his or her knowledge after reasonable inquiry and shall state for each calendar quarter: (1) Net Sales of the Licensed Product in such quarter, (2) the amounts deducted pursuant to Section 1.09 of this Agreement in such quarter, and (3) the net royalty due to PDL thereon pursuant to this Article 3.
17.    The following Section 3.09.1 is added to the IgE License Agreement:

7.01    Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided in this Article 7, this Agreement shall come into force on December 18, 2003 and shall remain in effect until the later of December 31, 2015 or the performance and satisfaction of all payment obligations provided for in Section 4 of the 2014 Amended PLMA. Thereafter, all licenses or sublicenses granted hereunder shall become fully paid up and royalty free.

19.    Section 8.02 of the IgE License Agreement is amended to delete the phrase “Section 11.6 of the Master Agreement” and replace it with “Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA.”

The Proposed Audit Plan shall also include a listing of all proposed interviews of Genentech personnel that the Auditor believes at that time, in good faith to be consistent with customary practice, to be reasonably required to conduct the Audit.


Within fourteen (14) days following Genentech’s receipt of the Proposed Audit Plan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Genentech shall meet in person with the Auditor to discuss the Proposed Audit Plan. In the event Genentech and the Auditor cannot agree on whether one or more items of information or interview(s) included in the Proposed Audit Plan are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, Genentech and PDL shall attempt to resolve between themselves whether such information or interview(s) is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required. In the event Genentech and PDL cannot agree, either Genentech or PDL may invoke Paragraph 6 below. Upon resolution of all disputes concerning the Proposed Audit Plan (by Genentech and the Auditor, Genentech and PDL, and/or pursuant to Paragraph 6 below), the Proposed Audit Plan, amended as

1


necessary to be consistent with the resolution of those disputes, shall be deemed the “Final Audit Plan”.

During the course of the Audit, the Auditor may request additional information and/or interviews that are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, even if not part of the Final Audit Plan. In the event Genentech and the Auditor cannot agree on whether one or more items of additional information or interview(s) are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, Genentech and PDL shall attempt to resolve between themselves whether such information or interview(s) is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required. In the event Genentech and PDL cannot agree, either Genentech or PDL may invoke Paragraph 6 below.

4.
Production of Information.
The Auditor shall then provide written notice to Genentech of the “Final Audit Plan.” Genentech shall take commercially diligent efforts to provide the information and interview(s) specified in the Final Audit Plan to the Auditor within six (6) months of receipt of such written notice except in the event of (i) exceptional circumstances or (ii) requests for additional information or interview(s) made after adoption of the Final Audit Plan, in which of cases (i) or (ii) the parties, in consultation with the Auditor, shall agree upon a reasonable extension of time for Genentech to provide all of the information and interview(s). Genentech shall take commercially reasonable efforts to secure the cooperation of its Affiliates and Designees if required to obtain any items of information specified in the Final Audit Plan; provided, however, any such efforts are subject to Genentech’s contractual rights and obligations in relation to such Affiliates and Designees. Any Affiliate’s or Designee’s failure to provide information within the prescribed six (6) month period shall not constitute a breach of this paragraph 4.

5.
Limitations on Genentech’s Obligations.
For the sake of clarity, but without limitation, Genentech’s provision of information and/or interview(s) of personnel for purposes of the Audit is subject to Genentech’s records preservation obligations as set forth in Section 3.09 of the PDL License Agreements, Genentech’s contractual rights and obligations with regard to its Affiliates and Designees, and any and all applicable legal privileges.

6.
Resolution of Disputes Concerning Audit Data.
To facilitate the rapid resolution of disputes concerning whether certain information or interview(s) of personnel is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, within fourteen (14) days of Genentech’s receipt of the Proposed Audit Plan, Genentech and PDL shall agree upon and jointly engage a neutral third party who shall be a mutually-agreed upon expert in royalty accounting from a “Big Four” accounting firm (“the Neutral Auditor”).


The role of the Neutral Auditor shall be limited to resolving whether certain information or interview(s) of personnel sought by the Auditor is sought in good faith, consistent with customary

2


practice, and reasonably required to conduct the Audit (including how to interpret the language “sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required to conduct the Audit”). The Neutral Auditor’s resolution of such a dispute shall be binding, final and unappealable. The Neutral Auditor shall have authority only to resolve disputes concerning the scope of information and interviews of personnel to be provided to the Auditor. The Neutral Auditor shall have no authority to resolve any other issue or dispute, including but not limited to any dispute between Genentech and PDL relating to or involving (i) the interpretation of any provision, or portion thereof, of any PDL License Agreement, the 2014 Amended PLMA, the 2003 Settlement Agreement (as amended) or the 2014 Settlement Agreement; (ii) an alleged underpayment or overpayment of royalties; or (iii) any matter whatsoever other than the scope of information and interviews of personnel to be provided to the Auditor. In the event the Parties disagree regarding whether a particular issue or dispute is subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor, such issue or dispute shall not be subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor and instead shall be exclusively subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA. By way of example (but not limitation), if the Auditor requests information that may be reasonably required for the Audit based on PDL’s interpretation of a particular contract provision but that may not be reasonably required for the Audit based on Genentech’s interpretation of such contract provision, such dispute (regardless of whether it is characterized as a dispute about whether the information is reasonably required for the Audit and/or a dispute about the interpretation of the contract provision) shall not be subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor, and must be resolved, if at all, pursuant to Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA.
 

The procedure for resolution of disputes by the Neutral Auditor shall be determined in conjunction with the Neutral Auditor upon his/her engagement, but PDL and Genentech agree that (i) written submissions shall be permitted and shared between the Auditor, PDL and Genentech; (ii) each dispute referred to the Neutral Auditor shall be resolved no later than fourteen (14) days after such referral; and (iii) the standard to be applied by the Neutral Auditor is whether the information or interview(s) of personnel sought by the Auditor is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required for the Audit.


PDL and Genentech agree that any and all materials and information and communications generated during and in relation to the resolution of any dispute by the Neutral Auditor, (including but not limited to, Party submissions to the Neutral Auditor, statements, findings, or determinations by the Neutral Auditor, correspondence between the Parties, correspondence between PDL or Genentech and the Auditor) in any form whatsoever, shall be inadmissible in any arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA or any other legal proceeding `between PDL and Genentech. All fees and costs incurred by the Neutral Auditor shall be shared equally by PDL and Genentech.

Amendment No. 1 to Form PDL License Agreement








AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE FORM OF PDL LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 to Exhibit A of the Amended and Restated Patent Licensing Master Agreement (Queen Patents) (“Amendment No. 1”) is entered into as of the Effective Date by and between PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”) and Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech” or “GNE”) (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), and amends that Form of PDL License Agreement (the “Form of License Agreement”).

Except as expressly provided herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Form of License Agreement and references to Sections shall be deemed references to the Form of License Agreement.

WHEREAS, PDL and Genentech are Parties to the 2014 Amended PLMA (as defined below); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the Parties’ execution of that certain Confidential Settlement Agreement by and between PDL, Genentech, and F. Hoffmann La-Roche Ltd executed concurrently herewith (the “2014 Settlement Agreement”), the Parties deem it to be in their best interests and to their mutual advantage to amend the Form of License Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1.The Effective Date of this Amendment No. 1 shall be the effective date of the 2014 Settlement Agreement.
2.Section 1.01 of the Form of License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.01:
1.01    “Affiliate” shall mean any Entity that, on or after the Effective Date of Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, another Entity; and “control” for purposes of this definition shall mean the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of substantially all of the management and policies of an Entity, whether through the ownership of voting stock, by contract or otherwise. In the case of a corporation, “control” shall include the direct or indirect ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock. An Entity shall be an Affiliate only during such period of time that such Entity meets the definition set forth in this Section 1.01. With respect to Genentech and Roche, the term “Affiliate” shall not include Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Chugai”) unless and until Genentech or Roche provides written notice to PDL specifying Chugai as an Affiliate.

3.The following Section 1.01.1 is added to the Form of License Agreement:
1.01.1    “Entity” shall mean a trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association, unincorporated organization or other legally

1


recognized form of organization. “Person” shall mean any natural person or Entity.

4.The following Section 1.01.2 is added to the Form of License Agreement:
1.01.2    “Designee” shall mean an Affiliate, sublicensee, co-promoting party, or other Person employed by or under contract with Genentech to sell, or otherwise authorized by Genentech to sell a particular Licensed Product or GNE Licensed Product (or Licensed Products or GNE Licensed Products) for or on behalf of Genentech. A Person shall be a Designee only during such period of time that such Person meets the definition set forth in this Section 1.01.2. The Parties acknowledge and agree, for the avoidance of doubt, that each of Roche and Novartis Pharma AG shall be considered a Designee of Genentech (each with respect to certain Licensed Product(s) or GNE Licensed Product(s)) for purposes of this Agreement.
5.Section 1.08 of the Form of License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.08:
1.08    “Licensed Product” means an Antibody with respect to which GNE has either significant marketing rights or has done significant development (e.g., created, humanized or conducted preclinical or clinical development), the manufacture, import, use, offer to sell or sale of which would infringe, if not licensed under this Agreement, a Valid Claim. GNE agrees and stipulates, for the avoidance of doubt, that _______ is a Licensed Product.

6.Section 1.09 of the Form of License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.09:
1.09    “Net Sales” means the aggregate gross revenues, whether in cash or in kind, corresponding to the price actually invoiced for the sale or other transfer of Finished Products by GNE, and/or by an Affiliate and/or by a Designee of GNE to one or more Third Parties, less Five Percent (5%) to cover the following: (a) credits or allowances, if any, actually granted on account of price adjustments, recalls, rejection, or return of items previously sold, (b) excise and sales taxes, or duties, imposed on and paid by GNE or by an Affiliate or Designee of GNE with respect to such sales (excluding income or franchise taxes of any kind), and (c) outer packing, freight and freight insurance costs. If GNE or any of its Affiliates or Designees receive non-cash consideration for any Finished Product sold or otherwise transferred to a Third Party, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of such transfer as known to GNE, or as reasonably estimated by GNE if unknown, shall be included in the definition of Net Sales. Net Sales shall not include Finished Products provided for bona fide clinical trial, evaluation, research or development purposes.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the 2014 Settlement Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, for purposes of calculating Net Sales, the term “aggregate gross revenues” in this Section 1.09 (i) specifically excludes Value Added Tax (VAT); and (ii) shall be calculated based on the price

2


actually invoiced for the sale of Finished Products by GNE, its Affiliates, and its Designees; provided, however, in the event GNE or any of its Affiliates or Designees receive, in part or whole, non-cash consideration for such sale, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of such transfer as known to GNE, or as reasonably estimated by GNE if unknown, shall also be included in the calculation of aggregate gross revenues.
Net Sales for Bulk Products shall be calculated by multiplying the units of Finished Product to which such Bulk Product is reasonably anticipated to be converted by the established market price in the country of sale of the Finished Product on the date of sale of the Bulk Product. By way of example and without limitation, units of Finished Product may be measured in grams or doses, as appropriate.
The method of calculating Net Sales of materials in a form other than Finished Product or Bulk Product that can be converted into Finished Product shall be established by good faith discussion between PDL and GNE.
For the sake of clarity, no sale or transfer of Finished Product or Bulk Product by GNE or Roche to any of their Affiliates or Designees shall be included within Net Sales because such a sale or transfer is not a sale or transfer to a Third Party.

7.Section 1.10 of the Form of License Agreement is deleted in its entirety.
8.Section 1.11 of the Form of License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.11:
1.11    “PDL Licensed Patents” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.13 of the Amended and Restated Patent Licensing Master Agreement between PDL and Genentech, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto (the “2014 Amended PLMA”).
9.Section 1.12 of the Form of License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 1.12:

11.The following Section 1.14 is added to the Form of License Agreement:

15.Section 3.04 of the Form of License Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following new Section 3.04:

EXHIBIT 1 to Amendment No. 1 to the Form PDL License Agreement

Audit Protocol







Exhibit 1

Inspection Procedures
Any inspection of books and records conducted pursuant to Section 3.09 of the PDL License Agreements (“Audit”) shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth below. To the extent Section 3.09 of any of the PDL License Agreements (“Section 3.09”) and the procedures specified in this Exhibit 1 are in conflict, this Exhibit 1 shall control.
1.
Time Period Subject to Audit; Time to Initiate Audit.
Net Sales subject to an Audit shall be limited to Net Sales occurring during the period from and including August 15, 2013 to and including December 31, 2015. Any Audit shall be initiated on or before June 30, 2016.

2.
Selection of Auditor.
PDL shall provide written notice to Genentech of its intention to conduct an Audit, including in such notice (i) a statement of what time period of Net Sales will be the subject of the Audit, and (ii) the name of an independent U.S. accounting firm (the “Auditor”) selected by PDL, subject to Genentech’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Auditor shall have substantial experience conducting royalty audits and knowledge of customary practices in conducting royalty audits.

3.
Scope of Audit.
Upon the commencement of the Audit, the Auditor shall propose in writing to Genentech all of the information that the Auditor believes at that time, in good faith and consistent with customary practice, to be reasonably required to conduct the Audit (the “Proposed Audit Plan”), i.e., information “showing the sales of Licensed Products in the Territory in sufficient detail to enable the royalties payable hereunder to be determined.” (Section 3.09). The Proposed Audit Plan shall also include a listing of all proposed interviews of Genentech personnel that the Auditor believes at that time, in good faith to be consistent with customary practice, to be reasonably required to conduct the Audit.


Within fourteen (14) days following Genentech’s receipt of the Proposed Audit Plan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Genentech shall meet in person with the Auditor to discuss the Proposed Audit Plan. In the event Genentech and the Auditor cannot agree on whether one or more items of information or interview(s) included in the Proposed Audit Plan are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, Genentech and PDL shall attempt to resolve between themselves whether such information or interview(s) is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required. In the event Genentech and PDL cannot agree, either Genentech or PDL may invoke Paragraph 6 below. Upon resolution of all disputes concerning the Proposed Audit Plan (by Genentech and the Auditor, Genentech and PDL, and/or pursuant to Paragraph 6 below), the Proposed Audit Plan, amended as

1


necessary to be consistent with the resolution of those disputes, shall be deemed the “Final Audit Plan”.

During the course of the Audit, the Auditor may request additional information and/or interviews that are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, even if not part of the Final Audit Plan. In the event Genentech and the Auditor cannot agree on whether one or more items of additional information or interview(s) are sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, Genentech and PDL shall attempt to resolve between themselves whether such information or interview(s) is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required. In the event Genentech and PDL cannot agree, either Genentech or PDL may invoke Paragraph 6 below.

4.
Production of Information.
The Auditor shall then provide written notice to Genentech of the “Final Audit Plan.” Genentech shall take commercially diligent efforts to provide the information and interview(s) specified in the Final Audit Plan to the Auditor within six (6) months of receipt of such written notice except in the event of (i) exceptional circumstances or (ii) requests for additional information or interview(s) made after adoption of the Final Audit Plan, in which of cases (i) or (ii) the parties, in consultation with the Auditor, shall agree upon a reasonable extension of time for Genentech to provide all of the information and interview(s). Genentech shall take commercially reasonable efforts to secure the cooperation of its Affiliates and Designees if required to obtain any items of information specified in the Final Audit Plan; provided, however, any such efforts are subject to Genentech’s contractual rights and obligations in relation to such Affiliates and Designees. Any Affiliate’s or Designee’s failure to provide information within the prescribed six (6) month period shall not constitute a breach of this paragraph 4.

5.
Limitations on Genentech’s Obligations.
For the sake of clarity, but without limitation, Genentech’s provision of information and/or interview(s) of personnel for purposes of the Audit is subject to Genentech’s records preservation obligations as set forth in Section 3.09 of the PDL License Agreements, Genentech’s contractual rights and obligations with regard to its Affiliates and Designees, and any and all applicable legal privileges.

6.
Resolution of Disputes Concerning Audit Data.
To facilitate the rapid resolution of disputes concerning whether certain information or interview(s) of personnel is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required by the Auditor to conduct the Audit, within fourteen (14) days of Genentech’s receipt of the Proposed Audit Plan, Genentech and PDL shall agree upon and jointly engage a neutral third party who shall be a mutually-agreed upon expert in royalty accounting from a “Big Four” accounting firm (“the Neutral Auditor”).


The role of the Neutral Auditor shall be limited to resolving whether certain information or interview(s) of personnel sought by the Auditor is sought in good faith, consistent with customary

2


practice, and reasonably required to conduct the Audit (including how to interpret the language “sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required to conduct the Audit”). The Neutral Auditor’s resolution of such a dispute shall be binding, final and unappealable. The Neutral Auditor shall have authority only to resolve disputes concerning the scope of information and interviews of personnel to be provided to the Auditor. The Neutral Auditor shall have no authority to resolve any other issue or dispute, including but not limited to any dispute between Genentech and PDL relating to or involving (i) the interpretation of any provision, or portion thereof, of any PDL License Agreement, the 2014 Amended PLMA, the 2003 Settlement Agreement (as amended) or the 2014 Settlement Agreement; (ii) an alleged underpayment or overpayment of royalties; or (iii) any matter whatsoever other than the scope of information and interviews of personnel to be provided to the Auditor. In the event the Parties disagree regarding whether a particular issue or dispute is subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor, such issue or dispute shall not be subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor and instead shall be exclusively subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA. By way of example (but not limitation), if the Auditor requests information that may be reasonably required for the Audit based on PDL’s interpretation of a particular contract provision but that may not be reasonably required for the Audit based on Genentech’s interpretation of such contract provision, such dispute (regardless of whether it is characterized as a dispute about whether the information is reasonably required for the Audit and/or a dispute about the interpretation of the contract provision) shall not be subject to resolution by the Neutral Auditor, and must be resolved, if at all, pursuant to Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA.
 

The procedure for resolution of disputes by the Neutral Auditor shall be determined in conjunction with the Neutral Auditor upon his/her engagement, but PDL and Genentech agree that (i) written submissions shall be permitted and shared between the Auditor, PDL and Genentech; (ii) each dispute referred to the Neutral Auditor shall be resolved no later than fourteen (14) days after such referral; and (iii) the standard to be applied by the Neutral Auditor is whether the information or interview(s) of personnel sought by the Auditor is sought in good faith, consistent with customary practice, and reasonably required for the Audit.


PDL and Genentech agree that any and all materials and information and communications generated during and in relation to the resolution of any dispute by the Neutral Auditor, (including but not limited to, Party submissions to the Neutral Auditor, statements, findings, or determinations by the Neutral Auditor, correspondence between the Parties, correspondence between PDL or Genentech and the Auditor) in any form whatsoever, shall be inadmissible in any arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 8.6 of the 2014 Amended PLMA or any other legal proceeding between PDL and Genentech. All fees and costs incurred by the Neutral Auditor shall be shared equally by PDL and Genentech.

JOINT REQUEST TO VACATE RECOMMENDATION FOR ORDER DATED

On September 17, 2012, Plaintiff PDL Biopharma, Inc., (“PDL”) filed a Motion to Compel Production of Documents and Interrogatory Responses by Defendants F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd. and Genentech, Inc. Withheld on the Basis of Privilege (“Motion to Compel”). On October 15, 2012, Defendants F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd. (“Hoffman-La Roche”) and Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech,” collectively “Defendants”) filed their Opposition to the Motion to Compel, and on October 29, 2012, PDL filed its Reply in Support of it Motion to Compel. Thereafter, on November 9, 2012, this Court






referred to Discovery Commissioner Wesley Ayres the Motion to Compel. On December 24, 2012, the Discovery Commissioner issued his Recommendation for Order in which he recommended to this Court that the Motion to Compel be granted-in-part and denied-in-part.
On January 11, 2013, Defendants filed Objections to Discovery Commissioner’s Recommendation for Order. On March 29, 2013, this Court issued an Order Affirming the Recommendation for Order (collectively with the Discovery Commissioner’s Recommendation for Order, the “Order on the Motion to Compel”).
On May 28, 2013, Defendants filed with the Nevada Supreme Court a Petition for Writ of Prohibition, Or in the Alternative, Mandamus (“Writ Petition”), seeking review of the Order on the Motion to Compel. On July 1, 2013, the Supreme Court ordered that an Answer to the Writ Petition be filed, and on September 3, 2013, PDL filed its Answer. On December 16, 2013, Defendants filed their Reply. The Nevada Supreme Court has not yet acted on the merits of the Writ Petition.
PDL and Defendants have now reached an agreement to resolve this case and jointly request that this Court vacate the Order on the Motion to Compel. A form of a proposed Order is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

PDL BioPharma Announces Agreement with Genentech and Roche to Settle Litigation and Arbitration
INCLINE VILLAGE, NV, February 3, 2014 - PDL BioPharma, Inc. (PDL) (NASDAQ: PDLI) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Genentech, Inc. (Genentech) and F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd. (Roche) which resolves all outstanding legal disputes between the parties, including its Nevada litigation with Genentech and Roche and its arbitration proceedings with Genentech related to the audit of royalties on sales.
Under the terms of the agreement, effective retroactively to August 15, 2013, Genentech will pay a fixed royalty rate of 2.125 percent on worldwide sales of Avastin®, Herceptin®, Lucentis® Xolair®, Kadcyla® and Perjeta® , as compared to the previous tiered royalty rate in the U.S and the fixed rate on all ex-U.S based manufactured and sold licensed products. Pursuant to the agreement, Genentech and Roche confirm that Avastin, Herceptin, Lucentis, Xolair and Perjeta are licensed products as defined in the relevant license agreements between the parties, and further agree that Kadcyla is a licensed product. Genentech will pay these royalties on all worldwide sales of Avastin, Herceptin, Xolair, Perjeta and Kadcyla occurring on or before December 31, 2015. With respect to Lucentis, Genentech will owe no royalties on U.S. sales occurring after June 30, 2013, and will pay a royalty of 2.125 percent on all ex-U.S. sales occurring on or before December 28, 2014. Pursuant to a separate agreement, Roche Glycart agreed that Gazyva® is a licensed product. The royalty term and royalty rate for Gazyva remain unchanged from the existing license agreement pertaining thereto.
The agreement precludes Genentech and Roche from challenging the validity of PDL’s Queen patents, including its supplementary protection certificates in Europe (“SPCs”), from contesting their obligation to pay royalties, from contesting patent coverage for Avastin, Herceptin, Lucentis, Xolair, Perjeta, Kadcyla and Gazyva and from assisting any third party in challenging PDL’s Queen patents and SPCs. The agreement further outlines the conduct of any audits initiated by PDL of the books and records of Genentech in an effort to ensure a full and fair audit procedure. Finally, the agreement clarifies that the sales amounts from which the royalties are calculated do not include certain taxes and discounts.






The settlement agreement provides greater certainty for each of the parties in terms of the royalty rate payable under the agreement and the period over which they will be payable. PDL expects to recognize royalty revenue on the licensed products until the first quarter of 2016. Additionally, the settlement terms provide for a better definition of revenues and audit inspection procedures related to the arbitration dispute filed by PDL.
“The agreement announced today equitably resolves our litigation and arbitration in a way that benefits PDL’s shareholders, said John P. McLaughlin, president and chief executive officer of PDL BioPharma. “The royalty rate reflects an increase over historical rates and there is now certainty around the period for which we will continue to receive royalties.”
The settlement and the related agreement are conditional upon entry of a proposed order dismissing the underlying litigation and dismissal of the AAA arbitration filed by PDL.
