Article II

Governance

Section 2.1
JSC.
(a)
Formation. Within [***] after the Effective Date, the Parties shall establish a Joint Steering Committee (“JSC”) to oversee and coordinate the overall conduct of the Collaboration. The JSC shall have decision-making authority with respect to the matters within its purview to the extent expressly and as more specifically provided herein.
(b)
Composition. The JSC shall be composed of [***] representatives from each of Roche and Repare; each representative shall be of seniority and experience appropriate for service on the JSC in light of the status of the Collaboration. Each Party may replace any of its representatives on the JSC at any time with prior written notice to the other Party. Each Party shall appoint one of its representatives on the JSC to act as a co-chairperson of the JSC. The responsibility for running each JSC meeting will alternate between the JSC co-chairpersons from meeting-to-meeting, with Roche’s co-chairperson running the first meeting of the JSC. The JSC co-chairpersons (or, at the election of the applicable JSC co-chairpersons, the Alliance Managers) shall jointly prepare and circulate agendas to the JSC representatives at least [***] before each JSC meeting and shall direct the preparation of meeting minutes after each JSC meeting, which shall be circulated to all of the JSC members within [***] after such meeting and finalized upon endorsement by all JSC members. No JSC co-chairperson shall have any rights or powers greater than those of any other JSC member. Each Party shall ensure that its JSC members are under obligations of confidentiality and non-use applicable to the Confidential Information of the other Party that are at least as protective as are those set forth in Article XIII.
(c)
Meetings. The JSC shall hold an initial meeting within [***] after the Effective Date or as otherwise agreed by the Parties. During the first Calendar Year of the Term, the JSC shall meet at least [***] times, unless the JSC members agree otherwise. Thereafter, except as the JSC members may otherwise agree, the JSC shall meet at least [***] per Calendar Year outside of the P/L Sharing Period, and [***] per Calendar Year during the P/L Sharing Period, unless JSC members otherwise agree. All JSC meetings shall be conducted in person, except [***] meeting (or [***] solely with respect to the first Calendar Year of the Term) may be held by videoconference, unless otherwise determined by the JSC. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, all in-person JSC meetings shall be held on an alternating basis between Repare’s facilities in Cambridge, Massachusetts (or such future location as Repare’s facilities may move to) and Roche’s facilities in Basel (or such reasonable future location as Roche may indicate in the future). A reasonable number of other representatives of any Party may attend any JSC meeting as non-voting observers, as long as (i) such additional representatives are under obligations of confidentiality and non-use applicable to the Confidential Information of the other Party that are at least as protective as are those set forth in Article XIII and (ii) reasonably in advance of the applicable JSC meeting, both Parties agree on the list of non-voting observers to attend such meeting. Each Party shall be responsible for all of its own personnel and travel costs and expenses relating to participation in JSC meetings.

(a)
Audit Team. Each Party (the “Auditor”) may, upon request and at its expense (except as provided for herein), cause an internationally recognized independent accounting firm selected by the Auditor (except one to whom the other Party (the “Auditee”) has a reasonable objection) (the “Audit Team”) to audit, during ordinary business hours, the books and records of the Auditee and the correctness of any payment made or required to be made, and any report underlying such payment (or lack thereof), pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Prior to commencing its work pursuant to this Agreement, the Audit Team shall enter into a confidentiality agreement with the Auditee obligating the Audit Team to be bound by obligations of confidentiality and restrictions on use with respect to the Auditee’s Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than the obligations set forth in Article XIII.

Section 11.8
Tax Matters.
(a)
Withholding and Indirect Taxes.

- 58 -

 

272987170 v1

 


 

(i)
Except as expressly set forth in this Section 11.8, each Party shall pay any and all taxes levied on account of all payments it receives under this Agreement. Each Party shall provide such information and documentation to the other Party as are reasonably requested by such other Party to determine if any withholding taxes apply to any payments to be made by such other Party under this Agreement and to establish qualification for a reduced withholding rate or an exemption from such withholding tax under the applicable bilateral income tax treaty or relevant statutory provision. If a Party believes that it is required to withhold taxes on a payment to the other Party, the paying Party shall notify the other Party of such determination no less than [***] prior to making such payment. To the extent that applicable Laws require that taxes be withheld with respect to any payments to be made by a Party to the other Party under this Agreement, the paying Party shall: (A) deduct those taxes from the remittable payment, (B) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (C) promptly send evidence of the obligation together with proof of tax payment to the other Party on a reasonable and timely basis following such tax payment. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in claiming refunds, reductions, or exemptions from such deductions or withholdings under any relevant agreement or treaty that is in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event a Party redomiciles or assigns its rights or obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 18.4 (each, a “Tax Action,” and such Party, the “Acting Party”), and, as a result of such Tax Action, the amount of tax required to be withheld under this Section 11.8(a)(i) in respect of a payment to the other Party (the “Non-Acting Party”) is greater than the amount of such tax that would have been required to have been withheld absent such Tax Action, then any such amount payable to the Non-Acting Party shall be adjusted to take into account such withholding taxes as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings or credits, the Non-Acting Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received, taking into account applicable tax rates imposed on such income and any tax credits available as a result of the withholding or credits, had no such Tax Action occurred (but in no case shall any payment under this Agreement be an amount less than the remittable payment due without regard to this Section 11.8). The obligation to adjust payments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not apply, however, to the extent such increased withholding tax (A) would not have been imposed but for a Tax Action taken by the Party receiving the payment subject to withholding under this Section 11.8(a)(i) or (B) is attributable to the failure by the Non-Acting Party to comply with the requirements of this Section 11.8(a)(i). For purposes of this Section 11.8(a)(i), a “redomiciliation” shall include a reincorporation or other action resulting in a change in tax residence of the applicable Party or its assignee.
(ii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including anything to the contrary in this Section 11.8), this Section 11.8(a)(ii) shall apply with respect to value added tax or any similar tax (“VAT”). All amounts agreed by the Parties under this Agreement are exclusive of VAT. If, under applicable Law, any VAT is required to be paid in respect of any supply of goods or services under this Agreement, the Party receiving such supply of goods or services shall pay VAT at the applicable rate either (A) to the other Party or, if (B) provided under applicable Law, directly to the relevant tax authorities. In each case, the Party providing such supply of goods or services shall issue valid VAT invoice to the other Party in respect of the supply of goods or services.
(iii)
Each Party has provided a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 or applicable Form W-8 to the other Party. Each Party shall provide to the other Party,

- 59 -

 

272987170 v1

 


 

at the time or times reasonably requested by such other Party or as required by applicable Law, such properly completed and duly executed documentation (for example, IRS Forms W-8 or W-9) as will permit payments made under this Agreement to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding for taxes, and the applicable payment shall be made without (or at a reduced rate of) withholding to the extent permitted by such documentation, as reasonably determined by the paying Party. Each Party agrees to reasonably assist the other Party in claiming exemption from such deductions or withholdings under any double taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force and in minimizing the amount required to be so withheld or deducted.
Section 11.9
Foreign Derived Intangible Income Deduction. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide, and to cause its Affiliates, subcontractors, sublicensees, Licensee Partners, customers, and applicable Third Parties to provide, any information and documentation reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain the benefits of Section 250 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the applicable Treasury Regulations, including information required to demonstrate the extent to which the Licensed Products will be sold, consumed, used, or manufactured outside the United States.
Section 11.10
Currency Exchange. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, all amounts specified in, and all payments made under, this Agreement shall be in United States Dollars. If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the calculation of amounts payable under this Agreement, such conversion shall be performed in a manner consistent with the paying Party’s normal practices used to prepare its audited financial statements for internal and external reporting purposes.
Section 11.11
Late Payments. Any payments that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by applicable Law at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (a) [***], or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable Law; [***]; except that, with respect to any disputed payments, no interest payment shall be due until such dispute is resolved and the interest which shall be payable thereon shall be based on the finally-resolved amount of such payment, calculated from the original date on which the disputed payment was due through the date on which payment is actually made.
Section 11.12
Blocked Payments. In the event that, by reason of applicable Law in any country, it becomes impossible or illegal for Roche (or any of its Affiliates or Licensee Partners) to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, payments owed to Repare hereunder, Roche will promptly notify Repare of the conditions preventing such transfer and such payments will be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of Repare in a recognized banking institution designated by Repare or, if none is designated by Repare within a period of [***], in a recognized banking institution selected by Roche or any of its Affiliates or its Licensee Partners, as the case may be, and identified in a written notice given to Repare.
Section 11.13

(b)
Step-In Right. If Repare decides not to Prosecute any Repare Patent that is not a Product-Specific Patent or Joint Collaboration Patent, or if Roche decides not to Prosecute any Product-Specific Patent or Joint Collaboration Patent, in any country in the Territory, or if such Party intends to allow any such Patent to lapse or become abandoned without having first filed a substitute, it shall notify the other Party of, and consult with such other Party regarding, such decision or intention at least [***] prior to the date upon which the subject matter of such Patent shall become unpatentable or shall lapse or become abandoned, and such other Party shall thereupon have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the Prosecution thereof with counsel of its choice.

272987170 v1

 


 

(a)
Notice. Each Party shall immediately provide the other Party with written notice reasonably detailing any (i) known or alleged infringement of any Repare Patent, (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Joint Collaboration Patent or Repare Development Patent included in the definition of Repare Patents), or known or alleged misappropriation of any Repare Know-How (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Joint Know-How or Repare Development Know-How included in the definition of Repare Know-How), by any Third Party in a manner that is competitive with any Licensed Product, (ii) in accordance with Section 12.4, “patent certification” filed in the U.S. Territory under 21 U.S.C. §355(b)(2) or 21 U.S.C. §355(j)(2), or any similar provision in any other jurisdiction, with respect to any Repare Patent, (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Joint Collaboration Patent or Repare Development Patent included in the definition of Repare Patents) with respect to any product that is competitive with any Licensed Product, or (iii) declaratory judgment, opposition, or similar action alleging invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of any Repare Patent (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Joint Collaboration Patent or Repare Development Patent included in the definition of Repare Patents) that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Patent protection of any Licensed Product (collectively “Third Party Infringement”).
(b)
First Right to Initiate Actions. Roche shall have the initial right, but not the obligation, to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action that Roche believes is reasonably required to protect any Repare Patent, (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Joint Collaboration Patents or Repare Development Patents included in the definition of Repare Patents) against any Third Party Infringement. Roche shall give Repare advance notice of Roche’s intent to file any such suit or take any such action and the reasons therefor, and shall provide Repare with an opportunity to make suggestions and comments regarding such suit or action. Thereafter, Roche shall keep Repare promptly informed, and shall consult with Repare, regarding the status of any such suit or action and shall provide Repare with copies of all material documents (e.g., complaints, answers, counterclaims, material motions, orders of the court, memoranda of law and legal briefs, interrogatory responses, depositions, material pre-trial filings, expert reports, affidavits filed in court, transcripts of hearings and trial testimony, trial exhibits and notices of appeal) filed in, or otherwise relating to, such suit or action.

Section 12.5
Claimed Infringement; Claimed Invalidity.
(a)
Infringement of Third Party Rights. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any allegation by any Third Party that any activity of either Party or any of either Party’s Affiliates or Licensee Partners under this Agreement infringes or misappropriates, or may infringe or misappropriate, the intellectual property rights of such Third Party. If any Third Party asserts or files against any Party or any of either Party’s Affiliates or Licensee Partners any claim of infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property rights of such Third Party or other action relating to alleged infringement or misappropriation of such intellectual property rights, in each case relating to any activity of either Party or any of either Party’s Affiliates or Licensee Partners under this Agreement (“Third Party Infringement Action”), then, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties and subject to Article XV:
(i)
In the event of a Third Party Infringement Action against a single Party, the unnamed Party shall have the right, in the unnamed Party’s sole discretion, to participate in the defense of such legal action at such unnamed Party’s own expense, with legal counsel selected by the unnamed Party and reasonably acceptable to the named Party. The Party named in such Third Party Infringement Action shall have the right to control the defense of the action, but shall notify and keep the unnamed Party apprised in writing of such action and shall consider and take into account the unnamed Party’s reasonable interests and requests and suggestions regarding the defense of such action. In the event of a Third Party Infringement Action against both Parties, Roche shall have the right to control the defense of such Third Party Infringement Action.
(ii)
The non-controlling Party of any Third Party Infringement Action shall reasonably cooperate (at the controlling Party’s request and expense) with the controlling Party in the preparation and formulation of a defense to such Third Party Infringement Action, and in taking other steps reasonably necessary to respond to such Third Party Infringement Action. The controlling Party shall have the right to select its counsel for the defense to such Third Party Infringement Action, which counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the non-controlling Party if both Parties have been named as defendants in the action. The non-controlling Party shall also have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel at its own expense. The controlling Party shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates and Licensee Partners not to) enter into a license for the asserted intellectual property rights upon terms that would restrict either Party from fully exploiting such rights consistently with the scope of the rights and obligations of both Parties under this Agreement without the written consent of the non-controlling Party, which will not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
(iii)
If requested by the Party controlling the defense of any Third Party Infringement Action, the Parties shall enter into a joint defense agreement that further outlines their rights and responsibilities consistent with the terms of this Section 12.5(a) or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in writing.
(b)
Patent Invalidity Claim. If any Third Party at any time asserts any claim that any issued Repare Patent (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Joint Collaboration Patent or Repare Development Patent included in the definition of Repare Patents) is invalid or otherwise unenforceable, or if any such Patent is the subject of any post-grant proceeding or any

- 65 -

 

272987170 v1

 


 

European opposition proceeding, whether as a pre-grant or post-grant proceeding, whether as a defense in an infringement action brought by Repare or Roche pursuant to Section 12.3(b) or Section 12.3(c), in a declaratory judgment action, in a Third Party Infringement claim brought against Repare or Roche, or otherwise (each, an “Invalidity Claim”), the Parties shall cooperate with each other in preparing and formulating a response to such Invalidity Claim. The Party controlling the infringement action or Third Party Infringement claim in which such Invalidity Claim Arises, or, if such Invalidity Claim arises in a declaratory judgment action, a European opposition proceeding, as a pre-grant or post-grant proceeding, or otherwise, the Party Prosecuting such Patent, shall have the first right (but not the obligation) to control the defense and settlement of such Invalidity Claim.
(c)
Costs. Except as expressly set forth in Section 12.5(a)(i), Section 12.5(a)(ii) or Section 12.3(e), the costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with defense of any claim described in Section 12.5(a) or Section 12.5(b) shall:

The Parties shall, as necessary and appropriate, use reasonable efforts to agree upon a joint strategy for obtaining, and cooperate with each other in obtaining, patent term extensions for Patents that Cover Licensed Products. If the Parties are unable to agree upon which (if any) of such Patents should be extended, then Roche shall have the right to resolve the dispute; except that, without Repare’s prior written consent, Roche may not extend any Patent Covering any combination therapy involving any Molecule and Repare’s [***].
Section 12.7
Patent Marking. Each Party shall comply with the patent marking statutes in each country in which any Licensed Product is Manufactured or Commercialized by or on behalf of such Party or any of its Affiliates or Licensee Partners.
Section 12.8
Other Roche Intellectual Property. Roche shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action that it believes is reasonably required to protect any Roche Intellectual Property, including Roche Development Intellectual Property, (other than Joint Collaboration Intellectual Property) without any obligation to consult with Repare. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.3 or Section 12.5, all recoveries with respect to any such action, by settlement or otherwise, shall be retained one hundred percent (100%) by Roche.
Section 12.9
Application of 35 U.S.C. § 102(c). The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is deemed a “joint research agreement” as defined in 35 USC § 100(h). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XII, neither Party will have the right to provide to a court or an agency a statement under 37 C.F.R. §1.104(c)(4)(ii)(A) to disqualify, for purposes of 35 USC § 102(b)(2)(C) or 35 USC § 102(c), prior art under § 102(a)(2) by the other Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to any such permitted statement, the Parties shall coordinate their activities with respect to any submissions, filings, or other activities in support thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the other Party’s consent under this Section 12.9 shall not be

Section 13.3
Publicity; Terms of this Agreement; Non-Use of Names.
(a)
Public Announcements. Repare may issue a press release announcing the existence and selected key terms of this Agreement, in the form attached as Schedule 13.3(a). Following such initial press release, Roche may issue press releases in accordance with its internal policy. If Roche intends to make reference to Repare in any press release, Roche shall provide Repare with a copy of such draft press release at least [***] prior to its intended publication for Repare’s review. Repare may provide Roche with suggested modifications to such draft press release, and Roche shall consider Repare’s suggestions with respect to such press release in good faith. Following the initial press release, Repare and Roche shall work together to define appropriate communication channels, such as press releases and investor updates, to communicate the achievement of milestones and other activities under this Agreement, and the language contained in the Parties’ press releases concerning this Agreement shall follow any guidelines that may be mutually developed by the Parties. Repare shall only issue press releases related to the activities contemplated by this Agreement that (i) consist of factual statements disclosing receipt of any Regulatory Approval of any Licensed Product, (ii) have been approved by Roche (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), or (iii) are, in the reasonable opinion of Repare’s legal counsel, required to comply with applicable Laws, including the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC or any other Governmental Authority or securities exchange on which securities issued by Repare or any of its Affiliate are traded. In the circumstances set forth in clauses (i)-(iii) above, Repare shall, to the extent it is able to do so while complying with applicable Laws, provide Roche with a draft press release at least [***] prior to its intended publication for Roche’s review. During such period, Roche shall (A) approve the draft press release and permit Repare to issue the press release, (B) contact Repare to discuss modifications to the draft press release, or (C) solely in the case of press releases that Repare desires to issue under clause (ii) above, contact Repare and disapprove the press release. If Roche asks for modifications of a press release that Repare desires to issue under clause (ii) above, then Repare shall either make such modifications or work with Roche to arrive at a press release that Roche approves. If Repare issues a press release

- 68 -

 

272987170 v1

 


 

related to the activities contemplated by this Agreement without Roche’s approval, then such press release must, in the reasonable opinion of Repare’s legal counsel, be required to comply with applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before disclosing this Agreement or any of the terms hereof pursuant to this Section 13.3(a), the Parties shall coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the redaction of certain provisions of this Agreement (together with all exhibits and schedules) with respect to any filings with the SEC, London Stock Exchange, the UK Listing Authority, NYSE, NASDAQ, or any other securities exchange on which securities issued by a Party or a Party’s Affiliate are traded (the “Redacted Version”), and each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek confidential treatment for such terms as may be reasonably requested by the other Party, and the Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to file redacted versions with applicable governing bodies that are consistent with the Redacted Version.
(b)
Other Disclosures. Either Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement:
(i)
to any actual or potential acquirer, assignee, licensee, licensor, investment banker, institutional investor, lender, or other financial partner, but such disclosure shall solely be of the Redacted Version, it being understood and agreed that, in connection with a proposed Change of Control with respect to such Party, only after negotiations with the proposed Third Party acquirer have progressed so that such Party reasonably and in good faith believes it is in the final round of negotiations with such Third Party regarding execution of a definitive agreement with such Third Party with respect to the proposed transaction may such Party provide an unredacted version of this Agreement to such Third Party; or
(ii)
to Third Party attorneys, professional accountants, and auditors who are engaged by any licensor, licensee, acquiror, or lender and who are under obligations of confidentiality not to disclose the unredacted terms of this Agreement to such licensor, licensee, acquiror, or lender for the purpose of confirming such Party’s compliance with the terms of its applicable agreement(s) with such licensor, licensee, acquiror, or lender.
Section 13.4
Publications. Each Party acknowledges that it is the other Party’s policy for Clinical Trials and results thereof to be registered and published in accordance with such other Party’s internal guidelines. Roche, in accordance with its internal policies and procedures, shall have the right (subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 13.4) to make Publications with respect to all Clinical Trials of Licensed Products and results thereof on the Clinical Trial registries that are maintained by or on behalf of Roche. Except with respect to Ongoing Trials (TRESR and ATTAC) (with respect to which Repare shall have the right to make Publications (subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 13.4)), Repare shall not make any Publication with respect to any Clinical Trial of any Licensed Product or results thereof on its Clinical Trial registry, but may provide a link to Roche’s Clinical Trial registry on Repare’s Clinical Trial registry. With respect to publications regarding Ongoing ISTs, such publications are governed by the IST contract(s) between Repare and the applicable investigator(s), but Repare will use reasonable efforts (which will not require Repare to pay any amounts or agree to any contractual concessions) to try to amend such agreements as needed to enable such publications to be subject to the terms of this Section 13.4. The Parties agree that neither Party nor any of either Party’s Affiliates shall have the right to make any Publication except as provided herein. If either Party or any of either Party’s Affiliates

If the non-publishing Party notifies (each such notice, a “Publishing Notice”) the Publishing Party in writing, within [***] after receipt of the advanced draft copy of the proposed publication or presentation (or [***] in the case of oral presentations), that such publication or presentation, in its reasonable judgment, contains an invention, solely or jointly conceived or reduced to practice by the non-publishing Party, for which the non-publishing Party reasonably desires to obtain patent protection, the Publishing Party shall delay such publication for a period reasonably sufficient to permit the timely preparation and filing of a patent application(s) on such invention, but in no event more than [***] from the date of the Publishing Notice.

Each Party shall submit any supporting information reasonably requested by the other Party related to such amounts within [***] after the other Party’s receipt of such request.

All data shall be transferred in the form and format in which it is maintained by Roche. Original paper copies shall only be transferred if legally required.

Exhibit B

Financials for P/L Sharing Period

1. [***]

2. Development Costs Sharing

All Shared Development Costs by either Party after the start of the P/L Sharing Opt-In Period or by Roche in conducting the Trigger Trial shall be borne by the Parties in accordance with the Development Cost Share. As between the Parties, Roche shall solely bear all Roche Development Expenses. Shared Development Costs shall initially be borne by the Party incurring the applicable costs or expenses, subject to reimbursement in accordance with Section 3(e) Exhibit B.

3. Reporting and Payment for Development Costs Share

(a) On a quarterly basis within [***] following the end of each Calendar Quarter, Roche shall provide Repare Party a report of the actual amounts of Shared Development Costs incurred by such Party during such Calendar Quarter (and, solely with respect to the first such Calendar Quarter, the Shared Development Costs incurred by Roche in conducting the Trigger Trial).

(b) Each Party shall submit any supporting information or clarifications reasonably requested by the other Party related to such Shared Development Costs included in such Party’s report within [***] after such Party’s receipt of such request. The Parties, with the assistance of the JSC, shall conduct a reconciliation of Shared Development Costs for the subject Calendar Quarter within [***] after receipt of all such supporting information.

(c) In any event, no later than [***] after the end of the subject Calendar Quarter, and an invoice shall be issued to Repare (if any) for its full share of the Shared Development Costs for such Calendar Quarter so that each of the Parties bears its Development Cost Share after giving effect to such payment for such Calendar Quarter.

(d) Repare shall pay all amounts payable under any such invoice within [***] after its receipt of such invoice. Each Party (A) shall maintain records of Shared Development Costs incurred by such Party in accordance with Section 11.6 and (B) shall have the right to request an audit of such records of the other Party in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.7.

4. Profit and Losses Sharing

The Parties agree that Roche will bear and be entitled to fifty percent (50%), and Repare will bear and be entitled to fifty percent (50%), of Operating Profits or Losses with respect to the Commercialization of Licensed Products in the U.S. Territory (“Profit & Loss Share”).

(a)
It is the intention of the Parties to interpret definitions to be consistent with this Exhibit B and Accounting Standards, with “Operating Profits or Losses” being calculated in accordance with Roche’s or Repare’s, as applicable, then current Accounting Standards practices (Roche, in its sole discretion, may adopt the same cost methodology as adopted by Repare in accordance with its then current Accounting Standards practices solely for purposes of recording costs incurred by Roche under this Exhibit B). Where such costs will be determined based on either Party’s system of cost or project accounting, each Party shall provide reasonable supporting documentation, as may be requested by the other Party, to ensure that each Party’s methodologies are reasonable and consistently applied. To the extent that such costs are not readily determinable based on the respective Party’s system of cost or project accounting, the JSC (or a Subcommittee designated by the JSC) will develop a reasonable methodology for determining such costs. Reasonable methodologies may include a standard rate or some other appropriate basis for allocating costs. For billing and reporting, the statement of operations will be translated into U.S. Dollars in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) If necessary, a Party will make the appropriate adjustments to the financial information it supplies under this Exhibit B to conform to the above format of reporting results of operation.

B-2

 

272987170 v1

 


 

(c) All U.S. Territory Annual Net Sales of Licensed Products will be booked by Roche.

(d) There shall be no double counting of any expenses or income in determining the Operating Profits or Losses under this Exhibit B.

(e) All employee Commercialization expenses shall be calculated in accordance with the FTE Rate.

6.
Reporting and Payment for Operating Profits or Losses
a.
The fiscal year for the purposes of reporting and other activities undertaken by the Parties pursuant to this Exhibit B will be a Calendar Year. Unless the schedule of such reporting is altered by the JSC, reporting by each Party for revenues and expenses will be as set forth in this Paragraph 5 of this Exhibit B.
b.
Each Party shall, (i) within [***] following the end of each Calendar Quarter provide to the other Party a good faith estimate of the Operating Profits or Losses that will be due for such Calendar Quarter and (ii) within [***] after the end of each Calendar Quarter submit to the other Party a detailed statement showing the consolidated results and calculations of the Operating Profits or Losses that will be due for such Calendar Quarter and cash settlement required in a format agreed to by the Parties (each, a “Report”). These Reports should include the elements of the Operating Profits or Losses calculation, including Net Sales and Allowable Commercialization Expenses incurred by such Party during such Calendar Quarter. Such report will specify all expenses in reasonable detail included in Allowable Commercialization Expenses and, with respect to Reports provided by Roche, will specify in reasonable detail all deductions allowed and taken in the calculation of Net Sales.
c.
Each Party shall submit any supporting information or clarifications reasonably requested by the other Party related to such Report within [***] after such Party’s receipt of such request.
d.
In any event, no later than [***] after the end of the subject Calendar Quarter, the following remittances will be paid as set forth below:

(i) if there is a Net Profit for a Licensed Product in such Calendar Quarter, then Roche will pay to Repare a reconciling payment amount equal to Repare’s portion of the Net Profit for such Calendar Quarter within [***] after providing the consolidated financial statement to Repare; or

(ii) if there is a Net Loss for a Licensed Product in such Calendar Quarter, then Roche will invoice Repare for the amounts due to Licensee as a result of reconciliation. Payment by Repare will be due [***] after receiving such an invoice from Roche, as described in Section 3d.

In the event any payment is made after the date specified in Paragraph 3(d) of this Exhibit B, the paying Party will pay the past-due amounts with interest from the date originally due as provided in Section 11.11 of this Agreement (subject to the proviso therein regarding disputed payments).

B-3

 

272987170 v1

 


 

In the event any overpayment of any amounts specified in in Paragraph 3(d) of this Exhibit B is made, the Party receiving such overpayment will refund such overpayment amounts to the paying Party.

6.
Start of Operations and Effective Accounting Date Termination.
a.
Operation of the Operating Profits or Losses will be deemed to have commenced on the first day of the P/L Sharing Opt-In Period. Except as otherwise provided herein, costs and expenses incurred prior to such date are not chargeable to the Operating Profits or Losses.
b.
Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, for reporting and accounting purposes with respect to the Operating Profits or Losses, the effective termination date of this Agreement with regard to the last detailing year for all Licensed Products will be the end of the month in which such termination takes place.
7.
Audits. Each Party shall keep, and shall cause its Affiliates and (sub)licensees, as applicable, to keep, accurate books and records of accounting as required under its Accounting Standards for the purpose of calculating all amounts payable by either Party to the other Party under the Operating Profits or Losses, including with respect to the calculation of Allowable Expenses, Cost of Manufacture and U.S. Territory Annual Net Sales, subject further to the audit rights and obligations granted to each Party in Section 11.7 of this Agreement. In the event of a dispute regarding any applicable books and records, including the amounts owed to a Party under Section 11.4 of this Agreement or the calculation of the Operating Profits or Losses, Allowable Expenses, U.S. Territory Annual Net Sales, or Cost of Manufacture, the Parties will work in good faith to resolve the disagreement. If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such dispute within [***], such dispute will be resolved in accordance with Section 18.1 and Section 18.2 of this Agreement.

Repare Therapeutics Announces a Worldwide License and Collaboration Agreement with Roche for Camonsertib (RP-3500)

Repare will receive a $125 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to an additional $1.2 billion in potential development, regulatory, commercial and sales milestones, plus royalties on global net product sales.

Repare to host conference call today at 5:00 p.m. EDT

Cambridge, MA & Montreal, QC, June 1, 2022 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Repare Therapeutics Inc. (“Repare” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RPTX), a leading clinical-stage precision oncology company, today announced it has entered into a worldwide license and collaboration agreement with Roche for the development and commercialization of camonsertib (also known as RP-3500), a potent and selective oral small molecule inhibitor of ATR (Ataxia-Telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein kinase) for the treatment of tumors with specific synthetic-lethal genomic alterations including those in the ATM gene (Ataxia-Telangiectasia mutated kinase). Under the collaboration, Roche will assume development of camonsertib with the potential to expand development into additional tumors and multiple combination studies.

“Camonsertib has the potential to help cancer patients across numerous solid tumors as a monotherapy and possibly in combination with other agents," said Kim Seth, Ph.D., EVP and Head of Business & Corporate Development at Repare. “Given the encouraging data Repare has generated for camonsertib as a potentially best-in-class ATR inhibitor with a promising tolerability profile and patient selection insights in areas of high unmet medical need, and Roche’s leading global footprint and unique expertise in precision oncology, we are confident that Roche is the ideal partner for us to drive the broad global development and commercialization of camonsertib.”

“Roche is excited about the emerging DNA damage response field, which represents a promising new approach to precision oncology," said James Sabry, M.D., Ph.D., Global Head of Pharma Partnering, Roche. “We are looking forward to partnering with Repare Therapeutics to further

develop camonsertib as a new potential treatment option for patients with significant unmet medical needs across a range of tumor types. The collaboration with Repare builds on Roche’s strategy of personalized healthcare and further strengthens our leadership in oncology.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Repare will receive a $125 million upfront payment, and is eligible to receive up to $1.2 billion in potential clinical, regulatory, commercial and sales milestones, including up to $55 million in potential near-term payments, and royalties on global net sales ranging from high-single-digits to high-teens. The collaboration also provides Repare with the ability to opt-in to a 50/50 U.S. co-development and profit share arrangement, including participation in U.S. co-promotion if U.S. regulatory approval is received. If Repare chooses to exercise its co-development and profit share option, it will continue to be eligible to receive certain clinical, regulatory, commercial and sales milestone payments, in addition to full ex-U.S. royalties.

The transaction is subject to clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and other customary closing conditions.
