(b)credits, rebates, or allowances actually allowed upon prompt payment or on account of claims, damaged goods, rejections, or returns of such Licensed Product, including in connection with recalls and retroactive price reductions;

(c)the actual amount of any write-offs for bad debt, provided that any amounts subsequently recovered will be included in Net Sales if recovered;

(d)packaging, freight, postage, shipping, transportation, warehousing, handling, and insurance charges, in each case, actually allowed or paid for delivery of such Licensed Product, and any customary payments with respect to such Licensed Product actually made to wholesalers or other distributors, in each case, actually allowed or paid for distribution and delivery of Licensed Product, to the extent billed or recognized;

(e)taxes (other than income taxes), duties, tariffs, mandated contribution, or other governmental charges levied on the sale of such Licensed Product, including VAT (net of reimbursement of any value-added taxes actually received), excise taxes and sales taxes, that the Selling Party allocates to sales of such Licensed Product in accordance with its standard policies and procedures consistently applied across its products, as applicable;

(f)any sales, credits, or allowances given or made with respect to Licensed Products for wastage replacement; and

(g)any other similar and customary deductions that are consistent with the applicable Accounting Standards in calculating Net Sales.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) amounts received or invoiced by Takeda, or its Affiliates, or their respective Sublicensees for the sale of such Licensed Product among Takeda or its Affiliates, or their respective Sublicensees, for resale will not be included in the computation of Net Sales hereunder and (ii) all amounts received or invoiced by a Selling Party in consideration for the sale of Licensed Product to a Third Party Distributor will be deemed Net Sales hereunder. In any event, any amounts received or invoiced by Takeda or its Affiliates, or their respective Sublicensees, will be accounted for only once. For purposes of determining Net Sales, a Licensed Product will be deemed to be sold when recorded as a sale by Takeda or its Affiliates, or their respective Sublicensees, in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards. For clarity, a particular deduction may only be accounted for once in the calculation of Net Sales. Net Sales will exclude any samples of Licensed Product transferred or disposed of for Clinical Trials or at or below costs of goods therefor for any so-called treatment investigational new drug sales, named patient sales, expanded access program, compassionate or emergency use sales or pre-license sales made for non- commercial, compassionate purpose, or any indigent program or promotional or educational purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, and for all purposes under this Agreement, Net Sales will be accounted for in accordance with standard accounting practices, as practiced by Takeda and its Affiliates and Sublicensees in the relevant country in the Territory, but in any event in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards, as consistently applied in such country in the Territory.

In the case of any Combination Product sold for a single price in a given country in the Territory, Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalties and sales milestone events of the Combination Product in such country will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product in such country by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the invoice price of the Licensed Component included in such Combination Product if sold separately as a stand-alone product in such country, and B is the total invoice price of the Other Components in the Combination Product, if sold separately in such country.

15



If, on a country-by-country basis, the Licensed Component as included in such Combination Product is sold separately as a stand-alone product in a country, but the Other Components in the Combination Product are not sold separately in such country, then Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalties and sales milestone events of the Combination Product for such country will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of the Combination Product in such country by the fraction A/C, where A is the invoice price of the Licensed Component included in such Combination Product if sold separately as a stand-alone product in such country, and C is the invoice price of the Combination Product in such country.

If, on a country-by-country basis, the Licensed Component as included in the Combination Product is not sold separately as a stand-alone product in such country, but the Other Components included in the Combination Product are sold separately in such country, then Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalties and sales milestone events of the Combination Product for such country will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of the Combination Product in such country by the fraction (C-B)/C, where B is the invoice price of the Other Components included in such Combination Product if sold separately in such country, and C is the invoice price of the Combination Product in such country.

If neither the Licensed Component nor the Other Components included in the Combination Product are sold separately in a given country, then Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalties and sales milestone events in such country will be determined jointly by the Parties in good faith based on the fair market value of the Licensed Product and each of the Other Components included in such Combination Product when sold in such indication in such country.

The owing Party will pay any undisputed amounts within days after receipt of the invoice, and will pay any disputed amounts owed by such Party within days after resolution of the Dispute. Either Party will have the right to offset any amount that both Parties expressly agree in writing is undisputed or that is determined by a final award in accordance with Section 10.3 (Dispute Resolution) to be owed to the other Party against any payments owed by such other Party under this Agreement. Such offset right will be in addition to
any other rights or remedies available under this Agreement and Applicable Law.

1.5.Payment Terms.

1.1.1.Manner of Payment. All payments to be made between the Parties under this Agreement will be made in Dollars and may be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions attached hereto as Schedule 4.5.1 (Wire Instructions).

1.1.2.image_42.jpgReports and Royalty Payments. Commencing upon the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product and continuing for as long as the Royalties are due under Section 4.3 (Royalties), Takeda will deliver to Innate within days after the end of each Calendar

31



image_42.jpgQuarter, a written report setting forth the actual Net Sales for such Calendar Quarter in each country in the Territory for the Licensed Products in substantially the form set forth on Schedule 4.5.2 (each, a “Royalty Report”). Upon receipt of such Royalty Report, Innate will issue an invoice to Takeda for the amount of the Royalties set forth in such Royalty Report, which invoice will specify the amount of the Royalties that should be made to Innate. Takeda will pay all Royalties for a Calendar Quarter set forth in any such invoice within days after receipt of such invoice.

1.1.3.image_71.jpgimage_72.jpgRecords and Audits. Takeda will keep books and records in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards in relation to this Agreement, including in relation to all Net Sales and Royalties. Takeda will keep such books and records for three years following the Calendar Year to which they pertain. Innate may, upon reasonable written request, cause an internationally-recognized independent accounting firm (the “Auditor”) that is reasonably acceptable to Takeda solely to inspect the relevant records of Takeda and its Affiliates to verify the payments made by Takeda and the related reports, statements and books of accounts, as applicable. Before beginning its audit, the Auditor will execute an undertaking acceptable to Takeda by which the Auditor agrees to keep confidential all information reviewed during the audit. Takeda and its Affiliates will make their records available for inspection by the Auditor during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice (at least Business Days prior to a requested audit) from Innate. The Auditor will review the records solely to verify the accuracy of the Net Sales and Royalties, as applicable. Such inspection right will not be exercised more than once in any Calendar Year and not more frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period of time. In addition, Innate will only be entitled to audit the books and records of Takeda from the three Calendar Years prior to the Calendar Year in which the audit request is made. Innate agrees to hold in strict confidence all information received and all information learned in the course of any audit or inspection, except to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement or to the extent required to comply with any law, regulation or judicial order. The Auditor will provide its audit report and basis for any determination to Takeda at the time such report is provided to Innate. In the event that the final result of the inspection reveals an undisputed underpayment or overpayment by Takeda, the underpaid or overpaid amount will be settled promptly. Innate will pay for such inspections, as well as its expenses associated with enforcing its rights with respect to any payments hereunder; provided, however, that in the event of an underpayment of more than of the total royalty and commercial milestones payments due hereunder for the audited period, then the fees and expenses charged by the Auditor will be paid by Takeda.

1.1.4.Currency Exchange. All amounts due to either Party hereunder will be expressed in Dollars. Net Sales will be first determined in the currency in which they are earned (if not Dollars) and will then be converted into an amount in Dollars. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in Dollars owed to a Party under this Agreement will be the exchange rate used by such Party in its financial reporting in accordance with its Accounting Standards consistently applied.

1.1.5.Taxes.

(a)Withholding Taxes. The amounts payable as described in this Agreement (“Payments”) will not be reduced on account of any Taxes unless required by Applicable Law. Takeda will deduct and withhold from the Payments made to Innate any Taxes that it is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold,

32



image_73.jpg(“Withholding Taxes”), and any such amounts deducted or withheld by Takeda will be treated as having been paid to Innate for purposes of this Agreement. While the correct application of the Withholding Taxes shall be the responsibility of Takeda, any such Withholding Taxes will be an expense of and borne by Innate. If any such Withholding Tax is assessed against, or paid (but in each case not withheld) by Takeda, then Innate will pay the relevant amount of such Withholding Tax to Takeda. In the event that a Governmental Authority retroactively determines that a payment made by Takeda to Innate under this Agreement should have been subject to Withholding Taxes (or to additional Withholding Taxes), and Takeda remits such Withholding Taxes to the Governmental Authority, including any interest and penalties that may be imposed thereon, at the option of Takeda, then Innate will pay the relevant amount of any Withholding Tax (excluding any interest and penalties thereon which shall be borne by Takeda) to Takeda. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Innate is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, or recovery of, applicable Withholding Tax, then it may deliver to Takeda or the appropriate Governmental Authority the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve Takeda of its obligation to withhold tax. If Innate timely delivers to Takeda a validly executed form establishing a reduced rate or exemption from withholding, Takeda will apply the reduced rate of withholding, or not withhold, as the case may be, provided that Takeda is in receipt of evidence, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Takeda, for example Innate’s delivery of all applicable documentation at least two weeks prior to the time that the Payments are due. Takeda shall cooperate with, and reasonably assist, Innate to secure the exemption from Withholding Tax or the application of the most favorable rate of Withholding Tax, by notably providing Innate, sufficiently in advance of any Payment, with necessary instructions on all the forms, filings, and other actions to be taken by Innate to obtain such Withholding Tax exemption or reduced rate. For clarity, although Takeda agrees to provide reasonable assistance to Innate with forms and filings or other actions to obtain an applicable Withholding Tax exemption or reduced rate, the responsibility to complete and execute such forms and filings and take other actions that be required shall remain Innate’s responsibility. If, in accordance with the foregoing, Takeda withholds any amount, then it will pay to Innate the balance when due, make timely payment (or cause its agent to make timely payment) to the proper taxing authority of the withheld amount, and send Innate proof of such payment within    days following that payment. In addition, provisions contained in this Section 4.5.5(a) (Withholding Taxes) shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Payment due by Innate to Takeda under this Agreement.

(b)Tax Cooperation. Each Party will provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Law, of Withholding Taxes, VAT, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such Withholding Tax or VAT.

(c)Tax Exemptions and Credits. The Parties will reasonably cooperate with each other in seeking any tax exemption or credits that may be available with respect to any Licensed Product, including the tax credit available under Section 45C of the Code by reason of a Party’s research and Development expenditures contributing to the Licensed Product being granted orphan drug status by the FDA, or equivalent Applicable Law of any other country.

33



(d)VAT. All payments or amounts due under this Agreement, whether monetary or non-monetary are exclusive of VAT, sales tax, and their equivalents. Any Party receiving any supply under this Agreement, covenants that it will pay any such VAT or sales tax correctly charged in addition to any amounts due under this Agreement. Where the prevailing legislation requires a VAT or sales tax reverse charge, then the receiving Party covenants that it will correctly account for VAT or sales tax in respect of the services received. The supplying Party agrees that it will raise a tax invoice (or equivalent document) to support the charge to VAT or sales tax. For the purposes of VAT, the services, rights and licenses provided by Innate under this Agreement shall be considered to be taxed under by Art 44 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC or any equivalent provision in the country of performance if performed outside the European Union and as such will be considered to be taxed for VAT or sales taxes purposes in the country of the recipient. Any supply of goods under this Agreement shall be taxed (where applicable) in accordance with the prevailing VAT or sales tax legislation. All Parties agree that they will reasonably cooperate to ensure the use of any VAT or sales tax exemptions, suspensions or other reliefs. Subject to any other provision in this Agreement, any goods supplied will be shipped under Incoterms 2010 – CIP destination with the receiving Party acting as importer.

(e)Withholding Reimbursement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that if either Party redomiciles, or assigns or sublicenses its rights or obligations under this Agreement (including an assignment of this Agreement as permitted under Section 10.1 (Assignment) of this Agreement), and such action leads to the imposition of withholding Tax liability or VAT on the other Party that would not have been imposed in the absence of such action or in an increase in such liability above the liability that would have been imposed in the absence of such action, then such Party will increase such payment by the amount necessary to ensure that the other Party receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such action occurred.

1.1.5.Blocked Payments. In the event that, by reason of Applicable Law in any country, it becomes impossible or illegal for a Party to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, payments owed the other Party hereunder, such Party will promptly notify the other Party of the conditions preventing such transfer and such payments will be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of the other Party in a recognized banking institution designated by the other Party or, if none is designated by the other Party within a period of 30 days, in a recognized banking institution selected by the transferring Party, as the case may be, and identified in a written notice given to the other Party.

1.1.6.image_74.jpgInterest Due. Each paying Party will pay the other Party interest on any undisputed payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement accrue as simple interest at the per annum rate of over the then-current prime rate (PRIME:IND) quoted by Bloomberg or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Law, whichever is lower.

1.1.16.Third Party Agreements/No Conflicts. Innate has not entered into any agreement with any Third Party that is in conflict with the rights granted to Takeda under this Agreement, and has not taken any action that would prevent it from granting the rights granted to Takeda under this Agreement, or that would otherwise conflict with or adversely affect Takeda’s rights under this Agreement.

1.1.1.Compliance. Each Party, its Affiliates, and Sublicensees will conduct the Exploitation of Licensed Antibodies and Licensed Products in a good scientific manner and materially in accordance with all Applicable Laws, including, as applicable, GLP, GCP, and cGMP or regulations of any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the activities performed by or on behalf of Takeda or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in furtherance of such obligations. In addition, if a Party is or becomes subject to a legal obligation to a Governmental Authority (such as a corporate integrity agreement or settlement agreement with a Governmental Authority), then the other Party will perform such activities as may be reasonably requested by the obligated Party to enable such Party to comply with its legal

42



obligation to such Governmental Authority with respect to Licensed Antibodies and Licensed Products.

1.1.2.No Debarment. Each Party will not use and will not permit its Affiliates or Sublicensees to use, in any capacity in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, any Person that has been debarred pursuant to Section 306 of the FD&C Act, as amended, or that is the subject of a conviction described in such section. Each Party agrees to inform the other Party in writing immediately if it or any Person that is performing activities under this Agreement is debarred or is subject to debarment or is the subject of a conviction described in Section 306 of the FD&C Act, or if any action, suit, claim, investigation, or legal or administrative proceeding (a) has been filed and is pending or
(b) is threatened in writing relating to the debarment or conviction of such Party or, to its knowledge, any Person or entity used in any capacity by such Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to this Agreement or the performance of its other obligations under this Agreement. Each Party will use reasonable efforts to include in any agreement with any Person or entity used in any capacity by such Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to this Agreement or the performance of its other obligations under this Agreement an obligation to provide notice to such Party of the matters described in this Section 6.4.2 (No Debarment).

1.1.3.No Conflicts. Innate will not enter into any agreement with any Third Party that is in conflict with the rights granted to Takeda under this Agreement and will not take any action that would prevent it from granting the rights granted to Takeda under this Agreement or that would otherwise materially conflict with or adversely affect the rights granted to Takeda under this Agreement, including the granting of any security interest or other encumbrance on the Licensed Patent Rights or Licensed Sequence Know-How.

1.1.4.Assignment. Upon Takeda’s request, Innate or its Affiliates will obtain, unless impracticable, from each employee and independent contractor who participated in the invention or authorship of any Licensed Technology, assignments of all ownership rights of such employees and independent contractors in such Licensed Technology as described in written agreement.

1.1.1.any breach of any representation or warranty made by Innate in this Agreement, or if such representation or warranty is not true, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement under this Agreement by or on behalf of Innate,

1.1.2.the gross negligence or willful misconduct by or of Innate or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, or agents in the performance of Innate’s obligations under this Agreement, and

1.1.3.the Exploitation of any Licensed Antibody (including any product that includes any Licensed Antibody) by or on behalf of Innate or any of its Affiliates, licensees, or sublicensees.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Innate will have no obligation to indemnify the Takeda Indemnitees to the extent that the Losses arise out of or result from matters described under Section 7.2 (Indemnification by Takeda).

1.2.Indemnification by Takeda. Takeda will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Innate, its Affiliates and licensees and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “Innate Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses resulting from any Claims against such Innate Indemnitees to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

1.1.1.any breach of any representation or warranty made by Takeda in this Agreement, or if such representation or warranty is not true, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement under this Agreement by Takeda,

1.1.2.the gross negligence or willful misconduct by or of Takeda or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, or agents in the performance of Takeda’s obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement, and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Takeda will have no obligation to indemnify the Innate Indemnitees to the extent that the Losses arise out of or result from matters described under Section 7.1 (Indemnification by Innate).

1.5.Indemnification Procedure.

1.1.1.Notice. The Party entitled to indemnification under this Article 7 (Indemnification; Limitation of Liability; Insurance) (an “Indemnified Party”) will notify the Party responsible for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing promptly
44


upon being notified of or having knowledge of any Claim or Claims asserted or threatened against the Indemnified Party that could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement; provided that the failure to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnity obligation hereunder except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

1.1.2.Indemnifying Party’s Right to Defend. The Indemnifying Party will defend, at its sole cost and expense, any such Claim by all appropriate proceedings; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement unless (a) such compromise or settlement imposes only a monetary obligation on the Indemnifying Party and which includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect of such claim; or (b) the Indemnified Party consents to such compromise or settlement, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld unless such compromise or settlement involves or requires (i) any admission of legal wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, (ii) any payment by the Indemnified Party that is not indemnified under this Agreement, (iii) the imposition of any equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or (iv) the admission of invalidity of any Patent Right Controlled by the Indemnified Party (in which case, (i) through (iv), the Indemnified Party may withhold its consent to such settlement in its sole discretion).

1.1.3.Indemnified Party’s Right to Defend. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of the defense of a Claim, then the Indemnified Party will have the right, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, upon at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party of its intent to do so, to undertake the defense of such Claim for the account of the Indemnifying Party (with counsel reasonably selected by the Indemnified Party); provided that the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party apprised of all material developments with respect to such Claim. The Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

1.1.4.Cooperation. The Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party as described in this Section 7.3 (Indemnification Procedure) and will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation; provided that the Indemnifying Party will bear such costs and expenses if counsel for the Indemnifying Party reasonably determines that such counsel may not properly represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party.

1.3.Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHTS OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, OR ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS (OTHER THAN, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PARTIES ARE SHARING PROFITS, IN THE FORM OF DIRECT DAMAGES), REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES THAT ARISE AS A RESULT OF (A) A PARTY’S FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (B) A BREACH OF SECTION 2.1.1 (LICENSE GRANT TO TAKEDA, EXCLUSIVE GRANT), ARTICLE 5 (CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICATION), OR SECTION 6.2.3 (LICENSED TECHNOLOGY). NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 7.4 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE

45



INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

8.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

1.1.Joint Patent Committee.

1.1.1.Purpose; Formation. Within 30 days after the Effective Date, the Parties will establish a joint patent committee (the “JPC”) that will monitor and provide strategic oversight of the Prosecution and Maintenance, enforcement, and defense of the Licensed Patent Rights and Joint Arising Patent Rights, subject to Section 8.3.1(b), and facilitate communication between the Parties. The JPC will meet on a frequency agreed by the Parties. The JPC will disband upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement in its entirety. The JPC will be comprised of an equal number of representatives of each Party, with each Party having at least one (1) representative on the JPC at all times. JPC members will have the appropriate knowledge and expertise in the Prosecution and Maintenance of Antibody Patent Rights. Each Party may replace its representative(s) on the JPC from time to time in its discretion with prior written notice to the other Party.

1.1.2.Responsibilities of JPC. In addition to its overall responsibility for monitoring and providing strategic oversight of the Prosecution and Maintenance, enforcement, and defense of the Licensed Patent Rights and Joint Arising Patent Rights, the JPC will have the following responsibilities:

(a)review, discuss, and determine whether to approve Innate’s request to file a To- be-filed Patent Right in accordance with Section 8.2.3(a) (Patent Rights in Unfiled Sequences; Innate’s Rights);

(b)review Innate’s proposed disclosure related to the Unfiled Sequence(s) included in a Joint Arising Patent Right to ensure sufficient to support claims and description for use in the filing of a divisional application and, subsequently, to coordinate the timing of a divisional patent application from any Joint Arising Patent Right in accordance with Section 8.2.3(b) (Patent Rights in Unfiled Sequences; Takeda’s Rights);

(c)discuss the jurisdictions in which Takeda wishes Innate to Prosecute and Maintain the Licensed Patent Rights in accordance with Section 8.3.2 (Innate’s Right);

(d)review and discuss in good faith strategies for abating any infringement by a Third Party of any Licensed Patent Rights, Arising Patent Rights, or Joint Arising Patent Rights (including any Competitive Infringement) in accordance with Section 8.4.1 (Notices; JPC Coordination);

(e)attempt to resolve any disputes on matters within the JPC’s authority on an informal basis and in good faith prior to the institution of escalation or other formal dispute resolution mechanisms hereunder; and

46



(f)perform such other functions expressly allocated to the JPC in this Agreement or by the written agreement of the Parties.

1.1.3.Decisions of the JPC. The JPC has the authority (a) for matters specifically delegated to it or expressly specified in this Agreement and (b) with respect to any other matter agreed to by the Parties in writing. All decisions of the JPC will be made by unanimous vote, with each Party’s representatives having one vote (i.e., one vote per Party). For clarity, the JPC will not have any power to amend, modify, or waive compliance with this Agreement. The JPC has no other authority under this Agreement than what is expressly granted under this Agreement. The JPC will work in good faith to promptly resolve any such matter for which it has authority. If the JPC is unable to reach consensus with respect to any such matter for which it is responsible within 30 days after a Party affirmatively states to the other Party that a decision needs to be made, then such matter will be subject to Section 8.1.4 (Resolution of JPC Disputes).

1.1.4.Resolution of JPC Disputes. In the event the JPC cannot reach a consensus under Section 8.1.3 (Decisions of the JPC) for a matter under its authority, then neither Party will have final say on such matter and the status quo will prevail or no new decision will be
image_86.jpg

1.2.Ownership.

1.1.1.Background IP. Each Party will retain ownership of the intellectual property such Party Controls as of the Effective Date, including if incorporated into any Arising IP.

1.1.2.Arising IP. Takeda will solely own all rights, title, and interests in and to all inventions and other Know-How created, conceived, discovered, developed, generated, invented, made, or reduced to practice during the Term solely by or on behalf of Takeda arising from Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Licensed Antibodies and Licensed Products under this Agreement (“Arising Know-How”) and all Patent Rights that Cover any Arising Know-How, but expressly excluding the Joint Arising Patent Rights (the “Arising Patent Rights” and collectively with the Arising Know-How, the “Arising IP”). For the avoidance of doubt, inventions or technology improvements made solely by or on behalf of Takeda are considered Arising IP, even if potentially not patentable or, if Takeda determines, in its sole discretion, to hold such improvements and inventions as trade secrets for strategic reasons.

1.1.3.Patent Rights in Unfiled Sequences.

(a)image_87.jpgInnate’s Rights. Innate may request, via the JPC, to file a patent application disclosing and Covering one or more Unfiled Sequences (a “To-be-filed Patent Right”), which request the JPC will review, discuss, and determine whether to approve;


(b)Takeda’s Rights. Takeda may, in its sole discretion, include Unfiled Sequences, in whole or in part, in patent application(s) that Cover Arising Know-How and

47



such patent applications will be jointly owned by the Parties (a “Joint Arising Patent Right”). The Parties will coordinate, via the JPC, the timing of a divisional patent application from any Joint Arising Patent Right that solely Covers the applicable Unfiled Sequence(s), which divisional patent application will be a To- be-filed Patent Right solely owned by Innate and will not be a Joint Arising Patent Right. The Parties shall coordinate via the JPC to ensure that the patent application in respect of a Joint Arising Patent Right includes appropriate description suitable for the filing of a divisional patent application that solely Covers (i) the applicable Unfiled Sequence(s), and (ii) variants, homologues, and fragments of the applicable Unfiled Sequence(s).

1.1.5.Joint Research Agreement. This Agreement is a joint research agreement within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 100(H). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article 8 (Intellectual Property), no Party will have the right to make an election under 35
U.S.C. § 102(b)(2)(C) or 35 U.S.C. § 102(c) when exercising its rights under this Article 8 (Intellectual Property) without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. With respect to any such permitted election, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate their activities with respect to any submissions, filings, or other activities in support thereof.

1.3.Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights.

1.1.1.Takeda’s Right.

(a)Takeda will have the sole right (but not the obligation) to Prosecute and Maintain any Arising Patent Right at Takeda’s sole cost and expense.

(b)Takeda will have the first right (but not the obligation) to Prosecute and Maintain all Joint Arising Patent Rights in the Territory at Takeda’s sole cost and expense. If Innate has not filed a To-be-filed Patent Right that solely Covers the applicable Unfiled Sequence included in such Joint Arising Patent Right in the applicable country, then Takeda will timely provide Innate with substantive communications from any patent authority in the Territory regarding such Joint Arising Patent Right, as well as a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities in advance of submitting such filings or responses, provided that Innate’s review and comment right shall be limited in scope to any Unfiled Sequences described in such Joint Arising Patent Right. Takeda will consider Innate’s comments regarding any such Unfiled Sequences in good faith. In addition, Takeda will provide Innate with copies of all final material filings and responses made to any Patent Office with respect to the Joint Arising Patent Rights in a timely manner following submission thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Innate will have no right to review or comment on the Prosecution of Joint Arising Patent Rights, nor shall Takeda provide Innate with copies of any final material filings and responses made to any Patent Office with respect to a Joint Arising Patent Right, after Innate files a To-be-filed Patent Right that solely Covers the applicable Unfiled Sequence included in such Joint Arising Patent Right in the applicable country.

(c)Innate’s Step-In Right. If Takeda (i) determines in its sole discretion to abandon, not to Maintain, or not to pursue the Prosecution of any Joint Arising Patent Right, and (ii) Innate has not filed a To-be-filed Patent Right that solely Covers the

48



applicable Unfiled Sequence(s) included in such Joint Arising Patent Right in the applicable country, then Takeda will provide Innate with written notice promptly after such determination to allow Innate a reasonable period of time to determine, for such country, its interest in filing a To-be-filed Patent Right. If Innate provides written notice to Takeda expressing its interest in filing a To-be-filed Patent Right, then, Innate may at its cost and expense, assume the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Joint Arising Patent Right for the sole purpose of filing a To-be-filed Patent Right originating from the Joint Arising Patent Right at Innate’s sole cost and expense. For the avoidance of doubt, Innate will have no right to pursue the Prosecution of any Joint Arising Patent Right and immediately upon filing of such To-be-filed Patent Right, Innate will immediately take steps to abandon such Joint Arising Patent Right through express abandonment or inaction.

1.1.2.Innate’s Right.

(a)Innate will have the sole right (but not the obligation) to Prosecute and Maintain any Blocking Patent Right at Innate’s sole cost and expense.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Innate will have the sole right (but not the obligation) to Prosecute and Maintain all NKCE Patent Rights.

(c)Beginning on the Effective Date, Innate will have the first right (but not the obligation) to Prosecute and Maintain all Licensed Patent Rights in the Territory that are not NKCE Patent Rights, using outside patent counsel of its choice at its sole expense that is reasonably acceptable to Takeda. The Parties will discuss via the JPC, and Innate will consider in good faith, any requests from Takeda regarding the jurisdictions in which Takeda wishes Innate to Prosecute and Maintain such Licensed Patent Rights. Innate will timely provide Takeda with substantive communications from any patent authority in the Territory regarding such Licensed Patent Rights, as well as a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities in advance of submitting such filings or responses. Innate will consider Takeda’s comments regarding such communications and drafts in good faith. In addition, Innate will provide Takeda with copies of all final material filings and responses made to any Patent Office with respect to such Licensed Patent Rights in a timely manner following submission thereof.

(d)image_88.jpgTakeda’s Step-In Right. If Innate determines in its sole discretion to abandon, not to Maintain, or not to pursue the Prosecution of any Licensed Patent Right that are not NKCE Patent Rights, then Innate will provide Takeda with written notice promptly after such determination to allow Takeda a reasonable period of time to determine, on a country-by-country basis, in its sole discretion, its interest in Prosecuting or Maintaining such Licensed Patent Right in such country (which notice by Innate will be given no later than    prior to the final deadline for any pending action or response that may be due with respect to such Patent Right with the applicable Patent Office). If Takeda provides written notice to Innate expressing its interest in Maintaining such Patent Right, then, with respect to such Patent Right in such country, (i) Takeda may, in its sole discretion and at Takeda’s sole cost and expense, Prosecute and Maintain or abandon such Patent Right, and
(ii) Innate will promptly: (A) provide to Takeda or counsel designated by Takeda

49



the file histories for, and correspondence with foreign patent counsel related to, such Patent Right, (B) provide to Takeda a report detailing the status of such Patent Right as of the applicable date of such notice by Innate, and (C) provide all assistance reasonably requested by Takeda in Takeda’s Prosecution and Maintenance of the applicable Patent Rights (including by executing all requested documents and providing any additional information requested with respect to the applicable Patent Rights). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Takeda may only step- in and Prosecute and Maintain a Method of Use Patent Right under this Section 8.3.2(d) (Takeda’s Step-In Right) if Takeda is Exploiting an Antibody Product.

1.4.Third Party Infringement and Defense.

1.1.1.Notices; JPC Coordination. Each Party will promptly report in writing to the other Party any Competitive Infringement by a Third Party, or infringement of Arising Patent Rights or Joint Arising Patent Rights of which such Party (or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) becomes aware and will provide the other Party with all available evidence of such infringement in such Party’s control. The Parties will promptly, via the JPC, review and discuss in good faith strategies for abating such infringement prior to initiating any actions pursuant to this Section 8.4 (Third Party Infringement and Defense).

1.1.2.Infringement Actions.

(a)Takeda’s Right for Arising IP. Takeda will have the sole right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action to abate any existing, alleged, or threatened infringement involving the Joint Arising Patent Rights or Arising Patent Rights.

(b)Innate’s Right for Licensed Patent Rights. Innate will have (i) the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action to abate any existing, alleged, or threatened Competitive Infringement involving the Licensed Patent Rights that are not NKCE Patent Rights, and (ii) the sole right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action to abate any existing, alleged, or threatened infringement that is not Competitive Infringement involving the Licensed Patent Rights. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Innate will have the sole right (but not the obligation) to bring an appropriate suit or other action to abate any existing, alleged, or threatened Competitive Infringement of the NKCE Patent Rights.

(c)Takeda Step-In for Competitive Infringement.

(i)image_94a.jpgAntibody Patent Rights that are not NKCE Patent Rights. During the Term, subject to Section 8.4.2(c)(ii) (Method of Use Patent Rights), if Innate fails to initiate an appropriate suit or other action to abate any existing, alleged, or threatened Competitive Infringement involving the Licensed Patent Rights that are not NKCE Patent Rights, within
after written notice of such Competitive Infringement is first provided by a Party under Section 8.4.1 (Notices; JPC Coordination), then Takeda will have the right to initiate and control an appropriate suit or other action to abate such Competitive Infringement using counsel of its own choice, at its own discretion and at Takeda’s cost and expense and Innate will have

50



the right, at Innate’s own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice.

(ii)image_90.jpgMethod of Use Patent Rights. During the Term, if Innate fails to initiate an appropriate suit or other action to abate any existing, alleged, or threatened Competitive Infringement involving the Method of Use Patent Rights within    after written notice of such Competitive Infringement is first provided by a Party under Section 8.4.1 (Notices; JPC Coordination), then Takeda will have the right to initiate and control an appropriate suit or other action to abate such Competitive Infringement to the extent that such Competitive Infringement relates to an Antibody Product using counsel of its own choice, at its own discretion and at Takeda’s cost and expense. Innate will have the right, at Innate’s own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice.

(e)Cooperation. Each Party will provide to the Party enforcing any rights under this Section 8.4.2 (Infringement Actions) reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including joining any applicable action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action or providing the enforcing Party any reasonably requested documentation or other materials. The enforcing Party will keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, including providing the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment on the enforcing Party’s determination of litigation strategy and the filing of important papers to the competent court and the enforcing Party will consider such comments in good faith. If one Party elects to bring suit or take action against the Competitive Infringement, then the other Party will have the right, during or prior to commencement of the trial, suit, or action, to join any such suit or action at such other Party’s own expense by counsel of its own choice, but such other Party will at all times reasonably cooperate with the Party bringing such action.

(f)Expenses. Subject to Section 8.4.2(d) (Cooperation), this Section 8.4.2(e) (Expenses) and Section 8.4.2(g) (Allocation of Proceeds), the enforcing Party will be responsible for all expenses arising from a suit or action under this Section 8.4.2 (Infringement Actions). For the avoidance of doubt, the enforcing Party will not be responsible for the other Party’s internal expenses (e.g., FTEs) incurred as a result of the other Party’s cooperation with the enforcement action as provided in this Section 8.4.2 (Infringement Actions).

(g)Settlement. Takeda will have the sole right to settle any claim, suit, or action that it brings under this Section 8.4.2 (Infringement Actions) relating to the Arising Patent Rights or Joint Arising Patent Rights (and not any Licensed Patent Rights). Neither Party will settle any claim, suit, or action that it brought under this Section
8.4.2 (Infringement Actions) related to the Licensed Patent Rights in a manner that could reasonably be expected to affect the other Party’s rights or interests or in a manner that admits the invalidity or unenforceability of the other Party’s Patent Rights without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(h)Allocation of Proceeds. If either Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party in a suit in the Territory as described in this Section 8.4.2 (Infringement

51



Actions) or any royalties from a license agreement with a Third Party related to any alleged Competitive Infringement, then such recovery will be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by each Party in such litigation, action, or license, and any remaining amounts will be retained by the enforcing Party, provided that Takeda will retain any award or settlement amount (whether by judgment or otherwise) that is attributable to loss of sales or profits with respect to a Licensed Product, and such amounts will be treated as Net Sales hereunder (i.e., Takeda would pay the applicable Royalty to Innate in accordance with Section 4.3 (Royalties)).

1.1.6.image_91.jpgDefense. As between the Parties, the Party controlling the Prosecution and Maintenance of any Patent Right under Section 8.3 (Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights), will have the right (but not the obligation), at its sole discretion and expense, to defend against a declaratory judgment action, post-grant review proceeding, inter partes review, opposition proceeding, interference, or any other legal or administrative action challenging any such Patent Right. If Innate does not defend any Licensed Patent Right that is not an NKCE Patent Right under this Section 8.4.3 (Defense) within    (or any reasonably longer period of time available to file an answer in a manner that does not materially compromise the defense of such Licensed Patent Right), or elects not to continue any such defense (in which case it will promptly provide notice thereof to Takeda), then Takeda will have the right (but not the obligation), at its sole discretion and expense, to defend any such Patent Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Takeda may only step-in and defend a Method of Use Patent Right under this Section 8.4.3 (Defense) with respect to an Antibody Product.

1.1.7.Other Invalidity or Unenforceability Proceedings. If, in connection with an action under Section 8.4.2 (Infringement Actions) or Section 8.4.3 (Defense), either Party desires to bring an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, declaration for non-infringement, reexamination, post-grant proceeding, or other attack upon the validity, title, or enforceability of a Patent Right owned or controlled by a Third Party and having one or more claims that Cover a Licensed Antibody, or the Exploitation of a Licensed Antibody (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement under Section 8.4.3 (Defense), in which case the provisions of Section 8.4.3 (Defense) will govern), then such Party will so notify the other Party and Takeda will have the right, but not the obligation, to bring, at its own expense and in its sole control, such action in the Territory and will consider Innate’s comments in good faith. Innate will be entitled to separate representation in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and will cooperate fully with Takeda. Any awards or amounts received in bringing such action will be first allocated to reimburse the expenses of the Party bringing such action, and any remaining amounts shall be allocated between the Parties in accordance with the principle set forth in Section 8.4.2(g) (Allocation of Proceeds).

1.1.Response to Biosimilar Applicants. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.4 (Third Party Infringement and Defense), each Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing of any notification or certification filed under the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (“BPCIA”), including notices as described in a § 351(k) application under the BPCIA, claiming that a Patent Right is invalid or that infringement will not arise from the manufacture, use or sale of any Licensed Product, or any biosimilar with respect to such Licensed Product, by a Third Party. The Parties’ rights to bring infringement actions with respect to such infringement actions and Third Party challenges are set forth in Section 8.4 (Third Party Infringement and Defense),

52



provided that Takeda may determine the strategy (in consultation with Innate) for the litigation of patents in connection with the BPCIA and for implementing the procedures set forth under Section
8.4 (Third Party Infringement and Defense). Any such action will be in the name of such Party or Parties as may be required to effectively institute and maintain such action, and the Parties will execute such documents as necessary for the prosecution of any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, Takeda will be responsible for any filings with respect to any Licensed Product under the BPCIA, including providing lists of patents which may include Licensed Patent Rights, if applicable, and Innate hereby authorizes Takeda to undertake such filings and agrees to provide such other information as Takeda reasonably requests.

1.2.Patent Right Extensions. Takeda will have the full and exclusive right and discretion to determine and control all filings of requests for patent term extensions, supplementary protection certificates, or equivalents thereto in any country in the Territory, in each case, where applicable to a Licensed Product (hereinafter “Patent Term Extensions”) for Joint Arising Patent Rights and Arising Patent Rights. Takeda may not file a Patent Term Extension for a Licensed Patent Right without Innate’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, except that Takeda will have the full and exclusive right to extend a Licensed Patent Right that is not an NKCE Patent Right if there are no granted Patent Rights that are Controlled by Takeda Covering the composition of matter or method of use in the approved labeling for the applicable Licensed Product as of the date of Regulatory Approval for such Licensed Product. All costs and expenses relating to the Patent Term Extensions will be borne solely by Takeda. Upon the reasonable request of Takeda and at Takeda’s cost and expense, Innate will provide support, assistance, and all necessary documents, in full executed form if needed, to Takeda for the purpose of supporting, filing, obtaining, and maintaining Patent Term Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Takeda may only extend a Method of Use Patent Right under this Section 8.6 (Patent Right Extensions) if Takeda’s right to Patent Term Extension arises from an Antibody Product.

1.3.Common Interest Agreement. If the Parties agree that a common interest agreement is reasonably necessary to govern their discussion of Patent Rights matters under this Agreement, then the Parties will negotiate in good faith to enter into such agreement.

1.4.Trademarks. Takeda will have the right to brand the Licensed Products using Takeda-related Trademarks and any other Trademarks it determines appropriate, which may vary by country or within a country. Takeda will own all rights in such Trademarks and will have the sole right to register and maintain such Trademarks in the countries and regions that it determines, at Takeda’s cost and expense.

9.TERM AND TERMINATION

1.1.Term. This Agreement will be effective as of the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier, will continue on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis until the date on which (a) for a Licensed Product that is an Antibody Product, the Antibody Product Royalty Term for such Antibody Product has expired in such country or (b) for a Licensed Product that is a Covered Product, the Covered Product Royalty Term for such Covered Product has expired in such country (the “Term”). Upon expiration of the applicable Royalty Term for a Licensed Product in any country in the Territory, the licenses granted from Innate to Takeda in Section 2.1 (License Grant to Takeda) with respect to such Licensed Product, in such country will become fully paid, irrevocable, and perpetual.

1.2.Termination for Convenience.

53



1.1.1.image_92.jpgTakeda may terminate this Agreement for convenience in its entirety, on a Licensed Antibody-by-Licensed Antibody or Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product, and country- by-country basis upon    written notice to Innate; provided that if Takeda terminates this Agreement with respect to all Antibody Products under this Section 9.2.1, then this Agreement will be deemed terminated for all Antibody Products and Licensed Antibodies (but for clarity not with respect to Covered Products).

1.1.2.image_93.jpg




1.3.image_94a.jpgTermination for Insolvency. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, either Party may terminate this Agreement in whole upon the filing or institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, or receivership proceedings, upon the appointment of a receiver or trustee over all or substantially all property, or upon an assignment of a substantial portion of the assets for the benefit of creditors by the other Party; provided, however, that in the case of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding such right to terminate will only become effective if the other Party consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or such proceeding is not dismissed within    after the filing thereof.

1.4.Termination for Material Breach.

1.1.1.Material Breach. Either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement (a) in a country (the “Terminated Territory”) solely with respect to a Licensed Antibody (and all Licensed Products that include such Licensed Antibody) or Licensed Product (but not the Agreement in its entirety), in the event the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially breached this Agreement in such country with respect to such Licensed Antibody or Licensed Product, or (b) in its entirety in the event that the Breaching Party has materially breached this Agreement as a whole, subject to the notice, Cure Period, and dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 9.4 (Termination for Material
image_95.jpg

1.1.2.image_96.jpgProcess for Termination. If a Party materially breaches this Agreement as a whole or with respect to one or more countries and one or more Licensed Products or Licensed Antibodies, then the Non-Breaching Party may give written notice to the Breaching Party identifying such alleged material breach in sufficient detail to put the Breaching Party on notice of such material breach, and the Breaching Party will cure such material breach within 90 days after delivery of such notice (the “Cure Period”). Any termination of this Agreement as described in this Section 9.4.2 (Process for Termination) will become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the Breaching Party has cured any such material breach prior to the expiration of such Cure Period or, if such material breach is not capable of cure within the Cure Period, then the Cure Period
54


will be extended for a maximum period of    so long as (a) the Breaching Party has provided to the Non- Breaching Party a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure of such material breach and (b) the Breaching Party commits to and diligently carries out such plan as

55



provided to the Non-Breaching Party. The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 9.4.2 (Process for Termination) will not be affected in any way by such Party’s waiver of or failure to take action with respect to any previous breach under this Agreement.

1.1.3.Disputes Regarding Material Breach. If the Parties reasonably and in good faith disagree as to whether there has been a material breach of this Agreement, then the Breaching Party that disputes whether there has been a material breach may contest the allegation in accordance with Section 10.3 (Dispute Resolution), and the Cure Period will toll upon the initiation of such dispute resolution procedures. If, as a result of such dispute resolution process, it is determined as described in Section 10.3 (Dispute Resolution) that the Breaching Party committed a material breach of this Agreement, then the Cure Period will resume and if the Breaching Party does not cure such material breach within the remainder of the Cure Period (provided that such Cure Period may be extended as described in Section
9.4.2 (Process for Termination) above), then this Agreement will terminate effective as of the expiration of such Cure Period. This Agreement will remain in full force and effect during the pendency of any such dispute resolution proceeding and the Cure Period. Any such dispute resolution proceeding will not suspend any obligations of either Party hereunder, and each Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate any damage. Any payments that are made by one Party to the other Party as described in this Agreement pending resolution of the Dispute will be promptly refunded if it is determined as described in Section 10.3 (Dispute Resolution) that such payments are to be refunded by one Party to the other Party. If, as a result of such dispute resolution proceeding, it is determined that the Breaching Party did not commit such material breach (or such material breach was cured in accordance with this Section 9.4 (Termination for Material Breach)), then no termination of this Agreement will be effective, and this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

1.1.Effects of Termination. Upon termination (but not expiration) of this Agreement with respect to one or more Terminated Territory or Terminated Products, in addition to the other rights and remedies that may be available to either of the Parties under this Agreement, the following will apply:

1.1.1.Effects of Termination Generally.

(a)Termination of Licenses. As of the effective date of termination of this Agreement, all licenses granted under Article 2 (License Grant) with respect to the Terminated Products in the Terminated Territory will terminate, and all sublicenses granted by Takeda or its Affiliates as described in Section 2.3 (Sublicensing Terms) with respect to the Terminated Products in the Terminated Territory will also terminate, provided that, upon the request of any Sublicensee (that is not a Takeda Affiliate) not then in breach of its sublicense agreement or the terms of this Agreement applicable to such Sublicensee, Innate will enter into a direct license with such Sublicensee on the same terms as this Agreement, taking into account any difference in license scope, territory, and duration of sublicense grant. Each Sublicensee will be an intended Third Party beneficiary of this Section 9.5.1(a) (Termination of Licenses) with the right to enforce the same against Innate. At the request of Takeda, Innate will issue a comfort letter directly to any potential Sublicensee confirming the terms of this Section 9.5.1(a) (Termination of Licenses).

56



(b)Return of Confidential Information. As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of termination of this Agreement, each Party will promptly destroy (and certify such destruction in writing) or return to the other Party all of such other Party’s Confidential Information (including Licensed Know-How) relating to the Terminated Products in the Terminated Territory, except that such Party will have the right to retain a copy of tangible Confidential Information of such other Party for legal archival purposes; provided that Takeda may also retain such additional copies of or any computer records or files containing such Confidential Information that have been created solely by a Party’s archiving and back-up procedures, to the extent created and retained in a manner consistent with a Party’s standard archiving and back-up procedures, but not for any other use or purpose.

(c)Wind-down; Clinical Trials. If there are any on-going Development or Commercialization activities with respect to Terminated Products on the effective date of termination, then the Parties will negotiate in good faith and adopt a plan to wind-down such activities, including if, Takeda or its Affiliates are conducting any Clinical Trials for the Terminated Product.

(d)Sell-Off Right. Takeda will have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of, in the Terminated Territory, any inventory of any Terminated Product on hand at the time of such termination or in the process of Manufacturing for a period of 12 months following the effective date of termination in such Terminated Territory subject to Royalty payments hereunder.

1.1.1.image_97.jpgSpecial Effect of Termination for Convenience. If Takeda terminates this Agreement with respect to all Antibody Products under Section 9.2.1, then, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in Section 4.2 (Milestone Payments for Antibody Products), all Milestone Events set forth in Section 4.2 (Milestone Payments for Antibody Products) that have not yet been achieved as of the effective date of such termination will instead apply to, and may be achieved by, a Covered Product and not an Antibody Product; provided that the corresponding Milestone Payment for the achievement of the applicable Milestone Event will be reduced by

1.2.image_98.jpg

image_102.jpgimage_101.jpgimage_102.jpgimage_103.jpg

1.3.Additional Effects of Termination. This Section 9.7 shall apply upon any termination of this Agreement in respect of all Antibody Products, or on a country-by-country or Antibody Product- by-Antibody Product basis:

image_104.jpg9.7.1.











image_105.jpg9.7.2.




58



1.4.Survival. In addition to the termination consequences set forth in Section 9.5 (Effects of Termination), the following provisions will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason: all of Article 1 (Definitions), Section 2.5 (No Other Rights and Retained Rights), Article 4 (Payments) (solely with respect to amounts accrued prior to termination but not paid and the reporting and information sharing procedures associated therewith), Section 5.1 (Nondisclosure and Non-Use Obligations), Section 5.2.2 (Publicity), Section 5.2.3 (Press Release), Section 6.3 (Warranty Disclaimer), Article 7 (Indemnification; Limitation of Liability; Insurance), Section 8.2 (Ownership), Section 9.1 (Term) (solely in case of expiration), Section 9.7 (Additional Effects of Termination), this Section 9.8 (Survival), and Article 10 (Miscellaneous). Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason will not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration, nor preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity, with respect to any breach of this Agreement.
59


10.MISCELLANEOUS.

1.1.Assignment. Except as provided in this Section 10.1 (Assignment), this Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may, without the other Party’s written consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part (a) to an Affiliate, provided that if the entity to which this Agreement is assigned ceases to be an Affiliate of the assigning Party, then this Agreement will be automatically assigned back to the assigning Party or its successor, or (b) to a party that acquires, by or otherwise in connection with a merger, sale of assets, or otherwise, all or substantially all of the assets of the assigning Party to which this Agreement relates. The assigning Party will remain responsible for the performance by its assignee of any obligation hereunder so assigned. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.1 (Assignment) will be null, void, and of no legal effect.

1.2.Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed and the respective rights of the Parties determined in accordance with the substantive Laws of the State of New York, notwithstanding any provisions of New York Laws or any other Applicable Law governing conflicts of laws to the contrary, and the patent laws of the relevant jurisdiction without reference to any rules of conflicts of laws to the contrary. The provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement or any subject matter hereof.

1.3.Dispute Resolution.

1.1.1.Exclusive Dispute Resolution Mechanism. The Parties agree that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the procedures set forth in this Section 10.3 (Dispute Resolution) will be the exclusive mechanism for resolving any dispute, controversy, or claim between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) (each, a “Dispute,” and collectively, the “Disputes”).

1.1.2.Burden for Antibody Product Disputes. If there is any dispute between the Parties as to whether any molecule constitutes an Antibody Product, then Takeda will be responsible for demonstrating (for example through lab notebooks and other records) that such sequence was generated without using or referencing any Licensed Antibody. At the request of either Party, any dispute under this Section 10.3.2 may be referred to an independent Third Party appointed by the Parties on terms agreeable to the Parties according to an agreement among such Third Party and the Parties, including provisions relating to confidentiality, to resolve such dispute.

1.1.3.Resolution by Executive Officers. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.3.3 (Resolution by Executive Officers) or as provided in Section 10.3.5 (Preliminary Injunctions), in the event of any Dispute, the Parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within 10 Business Days, the Dispute will, by written notice from one Party to the other Party, be referred to the Executive Officers of each Party for attempted resolution by good faith negotiation within 30 days after such notice is received. Each Party may, in its sole discretion, seek resolution of any and all Disputes that are not resolved under this Section 10.3.3 (Resolution by Executive Officers) in accordance with Section 10.3.4 (Arbitration).
60


1.1.4.Arbitration. With the exception of legal actions, proceedings, or claims described in Section 10.3.5 (Preliminary Injunctions) and Section 10.3.6 (Patent and Trademark Disputes) below, any legal action or proceedings to resolve a Dispute that was subject to and not resolved under Section 10.3.3 (Resolution by Executive Officers) will be exclusively administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules by one arbitrator. Upon written notice delivered in accordance with Section 10.11 (Notices) by either Party to the other of the initiation of an arbitration proceeding, the Parties shall confer with respect to nominating an agreed-upon arbitrator. If the Parties fail to nominate an arbitrator within 30 days (or such longer period agreed by the Parties) of having filed or received a request for arbitration, then the International Centre for Dispute Resolution shall appoint the arbitrator. Such arbitration shall be conducted in the English language and shall be held in London, UK, which shall also serve as the forum for the purpose of determining any choices of law.

(a)The award rendered shall be final and binding upon both Parties, with each Party to bear its own costs and fees. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator or any interim or conservatory relief granted by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(b)Except as may be required by law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.

1.1.5.Preliminary Injunctions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event of an actual or threatened breach of a Party’s covenants or obligations under this Agreement, a Party may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to prevent immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage on a provisional basis.

1.1.6.Patent and Trademark Disputes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any and all issues regarding the scope, construction, validity, and enforceability of any Patent Right or Trademark relating to a Licensed Product will be determined in a court or other tribunal, as the case may be, of competent jurisdiction under the applicable patent or trademark laws of the country in which such Patent Rights or Trademarks were granted or arose.

1.1.7.Confidentiality. Any and all activities conducted under this Section 10.3 (Dispute Resolution), including any and all proceedings and decisions hereunder, will (subject to Section 1.41(i)-(iv) (Confidential Information)) be deemed Confidential Information of each of the Parties, and will be subject to Article 5 (Confidentiality and Publication), to the extent permitted in accordance with Applicable Law.

1.1.Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, including its Schedules, contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous arrangements with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral. This Agreement may be amended, or any term hereof modified or waived, only by a written instrument duly-executed by authorized representatives of both Parties. For clarity, the Schedules attached hereto may be amended, or any term thereof modified, only by a written instrument duly-executed by authorized representatives of both Parties.

61



1.2.Severability. If any provision hereof is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, then the Parties will negotiate in good faith to promptly substitute on agreed valid provisions for such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provisions, which valid provisions in their economic effect are sufficiently similar to the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provisions that most closely effectuate the original economic intent of the Parties. In case such valid provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable nature of one or several provisions of this Agreement will not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provisions.

1.3.Headings. The captions to the Sections hereof are not a part of this Agreement, but are merely for convenience to assist in locating and reading the several Sections hereof. To the extent there exists any discrepancy between any internal, alphabetical or numerical cross-reference to a Section, Article or Schedule of this Agreement and the parenthetical immediately following such cross- reference, the parenthetical will govern.

1.4.Waiver of Rule of Construction. Each Party has had the opportunity to consult with counsel in connection with the review, drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. Accordingly, the rule of construction that any ambiguity in this Agreement will be construed against the drafting Party will not apply.

1.5.Interpretation. Except where the context expressly requires otherwise, (a) the use of any gender herein will be deemed to encompass references to either or both genders, and the use of the singular will be deemed to include the plural (and vice versa); (b) the words “include”, “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation” and will not be interpreted to limit the provision to which it relates; (c) the word “will” will be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”; (d) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein will be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein);
(e) any reference herein to any Person will be construed to include the Person’s successors and assigns; (f) the words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, will be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety, as the context requires, and not to any particular provision hereof; (g) all references herein to Sections or Schedules will be construed to refer to sections or schedules of this Agreement, and references to this Agreement include all Schedules hereto; (h) the word “notice” means notice in writing (whether or not specifically stated) and will include notices, consents, approvals and other written communications contemplated under this Agreement; (i) provisions that require that a Party, the Parties, or any committee hereunder “agree,” “consent,” or “approve” or the like will require that such agreement, consent or approval be specific and in writing, whether by written agreement, letter, approved minutes or otherwise (but excluding e-mail and instant messaging); (j) references to any specific law, rule, or regulation, or article, section, or other division thereof, will be deemed to include the then-current amendments thereto or any replacement or successor law, rule, or regulation thereof; (k) the term “or” will be interpreted in the inclusive sense commonly associated with the term “and/or” unless preceded by the word “either” or other language indicating the subjects of the conjunction are, or are intended to be, mutually exclusive; and (l) unless otherwise specified, “day” means a calendar day.

1.6.English Language. This Agreement will be written and executed in, and all other communications under or in connection with this Agreement, will be in the English language. Any translation into any other language will not be an official version thereof, and in the event of any conflict in

62



interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version will prevail and control.

1.7.No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative. No failure on the part of Takeda or Innate to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement, or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, will impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege, or be construed as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or as an acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.

1.8.Notices. All notices which are required or permitted hereunder will be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally, sent by email with confirmation of receipt, sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

1.9.Compliance with Export Regulations. Neither Party will export any technology licensed to it by the other Party under this Agreement except in compliance with U.S. export laws and regulations and the similar export laws and regulations in the EU.

1.10.Force Majeure. Neither Party will be held liable to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in achieving any objective, satisfying any condition, or performing any obligation under this Agreement to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or events beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including acts of God, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbances (other than strikes, lockouts, or labor disturbances involving a Party’s own employees), government actions, fire, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, pandemics, the spread of infectious diseases, and quarantines (“Force Majeure”). The Parties agree the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that is ongoing as of the Effective Date (including related government orders) may be invoked as a Force Majeure for the purposes of this Agreement even though the pandemic is ongoing and those effects may be reasonably foreseeable (but are not known for certain) as of the Effective Date. In addition, a Force Majeure may include reasonable measures affirmatively taken by a Party or its Affiliates to respond to any epidemic, pandemic, or spread of infectious disease (including the COVID-19 pandemic), or other Force Majeure event, such as requiring employees to stay home, closures of facilities, delays of Clinical Trials, or cessation of activities in response to an epidemic or other Force Majeure event. The affected Party will notify the other Party in writing of any Force Majeure circumstances that may affect its performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practical, will provide a good faith estimate of the period for which its failure or delay in performance under the Agreement is expected to continue based on currently available information, and will undertake reasonable efforts necessary to mitigate and overcome such Force Majeure circumstances and resume normal performance of its obligations hereunder as soon a reasonably practicable under the circumstances. If the Force Majeure circumstance continues, then, to the extent reasonably possible under the circumstances, the affected Party will update such written notice to the other Party on a bi-weekly basis, or more frequently if requested by the other Party, to provide updated summaries of its mitigation efforts and its estimates of when normal performance under the Agreement will be able to resume.

1.11.Independent Parties. It is expressly agreed that Takeda and Innate will be independent contractors and that, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, the relationship between Takeda and Innate will not constitute a partnership (including for U.S. federal Tax purposes), joint venture, or agency. Takeda will not have the authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, that will be binding on Innate, without the prior written consent of Innate, and Innate will not have the authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, that will be binding on Takeda, without the prior written consent of Takeda. The Parties (and any successor, assignee, transferee, or Affiliate of a Party) will not treat or report the relationship between the Parties arising under this Agreement as a partnership for United States tax purposes to the extent reasonably permitted based upon advice of the applicable Party’s tax return preparer.

1.12.Further Assurances. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any actions required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement, and

65



will (a) furnish to each other such further information; (b) execute and deliver to each other such other documents; and (c) do such other acts and things (including working collaboratively to correct any clerical, typographical, or other similar errors in this Agreement), all as the other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement.

1.13.Performance by Affiliates. Each Party acknowledges and accepts that the other Party may exercise its rights and perform its obligations (including granting or continuing licenses and other rights) under this Agreement either directly or through one or more of its Affiliates. A Party’s Affiliates will have the benefit of all rights (including all licenses and other rights) of such Party under this Agreement. Accordingly, in this Agreement “Innate” will be interpreted to mean “Innate or its Affiliates” and “Takeda” will be interpreted to mean “Takeda or its Affiliates” where necessary to give each Party’s Affiliates the benefit of the rights provided to such Party in this Agreement and the ability to perform its obligations (including granting or continuing licenses and other rights) under this Agreement; provided, however, that in any event each Party will remain responsible for the acts and omissions, including financial liabilities, of its Affiliates.

1.14.Binding Effect; No Third Party Beneficiaries. As of the Effective Date, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Person other than the Parties and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder will be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.

1.15.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, including by facsimile or PDF signature pages, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
