ARTICLE II
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PURCHASED INTEREST; SECURITY INTEREST
 
Section 2.01  
Purchase and Sale of Purchased Interest
 
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 2.07(c) and Section 6.02, on the Effective Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns, transfers and conveys to Purchaser and Purchaser hereby purchases, acquires and accepts from Seller all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Interest, free and clear of any and all Liens.  The purchase price for the Purchased Interest shall be the Closing Payment.
 
(b) Seller and Purchaser intend and agree that the sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance of the Purchased Interest under this Agreement shall be, and is, a true, absolute and irrevocable assignment and sale by Seller to Purchaser of the Purchased Interest and that such assignment and sale shall provide Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the Purchased Interest.  Neither Seller nor Purchaser intends the transactions contemplated hereunder to be, or for any purpose characterized as, a financing transaction, borrowing or a loan from Purchaser to Seller.  Seller waives any right to contest or otherwise assert that this Agreement is other than a true, absolute, and irrevocable sale and assignment by Seller to Purchaser of the Purchased Interest under applicable law, which waiver shall be enforceable against Seller in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding relating to Seller.  In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the sale of the Purchased Interest hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof rather than a loan secured thereby, Seller acknowledges and agrees that it will mark its books and records relating to the Purchased Interest to indicate the sale thereof to Purchaser and will note in its financial statements that the Purchased Interest has been sold to Purchaser.
 
(c) Seller hereby consents to Purchaser recording and filing, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, any financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such
 


 
-11-

 


financing statements when applicable) or other instruments and notices, in such manner and in such jurisdictions as in Purchaser’s reasonable determination are necessary or appropriate to evidence the purchase, acquisition and acceptance by Purchaser of the Purchased Interest and to perfect and maintain the perfection of (i) Purchaser’s ownership interest in the Purchased Interest and (ii) the security interest in the Purchased Interest granted by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.01(d).
 
(d) Notwithstanding that Seller and Purchaser expressly intend for the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Purchased Interest to be a true and absolute sale and assignment, in the event that such sale and assignment shall be characterized as a loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable as such (any of the foregoing being a “Recharacterization”), then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law.  For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of the Purchased Interest shall constitute a true sale thereof, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Interest, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Closing Payment together with all other obligations of Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, which security interest shall, upon the filing of a duly prepared financing statement in the appropriate filing office, be perfected and prior to all other Liens thereon.  Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.  Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser, as secured party, to file the UCC financing statements contemplated hereby.  In the case of any Recharacterization, each of Seller and Purchaser represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of the Royalty Payment or any portion thereof or any other payment in respect of the Purchased Interest by or on behalf of Seller to Purchaser hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of Seller and Purchaser and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of Seller and Purchaser.
 
Section 2.02  
Transfer and Payments in Respect of the Purchased Interest; Entitlement to the Royalty Payment.
 
(a) Seller agrees that Purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, is entitled to the Purchased Interest and may enforce the right to payment of any portion of the Royalty Payment or other monetary payment on account of the Purchased Interest when earned directly against UCB pursuant to the License Agreement and, notwithstanding any claim of Set-off that Seller may have against Purchaser or that UCB may have against Seller (as successor-in-interest to Seller Parent and XOMA Bermuda), Seller agrees and will use its reasonable [*] efforts to ensure (including taking such actions as Purchaser shall reasonably request) that UCB remits all payments that UCB is required to pay to Seller (as successor-in-interest to Seller Parent and XOMA Bermuda) under the License Agreement with respect to the Purchased Interest directly to the Purchaser Account, in full, pursuant to the UCB Consent.
 
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto understand and agree that if UCB fails to pay any Royalty Payment or other monetary payment on account of the Purchased Interest in full when Seller or Purchaser reasonably believes such Royalty Payment or other
 


 
-12-

 


monetary payment is due under the License Agreement (each such unpaid amount, a “Discrepancy”), then Seller shall not be obligated to pay to Purchaser or otherwise compensate or make Purchaser whole with respect to any such Discrepancy; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.02(b) shall limit or affect in any respect the rights of any Purchaser Indemnified Party under Section 8.05 or Seller’s obligation to use its reasonable [*] efforts to enforce its rights under the License Agreement pursuant to Section 2.02(a) and Section 6.04(d).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Royalty Payment or other monetary payment on account of the Purchased Interest is not paid to Purchaser (directly or indirectly by remittance to the Purchaser Account pursuant to Section 6.03) in full due to UCB effecting a valid Set-off against the Royalty Payment or other monetary payment on account of the Purchased Interest pursuant to the License Agreement or any other contract or agreement (whether or not such Set-off was disclosed hereunder) or UCB otherwise does not pay to Purchaser the Royalty Payment or other monetary payment on account of the Purchased Interest in full due to any act or omission by Seller, Seller Parent or XOMA, as applicable, resulting in a breach of this Agreement, such breaching party, be it Seller, Seller Parent or XOMA, as applicable, shall be liable for, and shall pay Purchaser the amount of any such Set-off or Discrepancy promptly (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days) following the date such Royalty Payment or other monetary payment is paid or payable to Purchaser hereunder.
 
Section 2.03  
Purchase Price
 
In full consideration for the sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance of  the Purchased Interest, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Purchaser shall pay to Seller on the Effective Date, the sum of $4,000,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller (the “Closing Payment”).
 
Section 2.04  
No Assumed Obligations
 
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other writing to the contrary, Purchaser is purchasing, acquiring and accepting only the Purchased Interest and the contractual rights set forth in this Agreement and is not assuming any liability or obligation of Seller, Seller Parent, XOMA Bermuda, XOMA Ireland, XOMA Technology, XOMA or any of their respective Affiliates, of whatever nature, whether presently in existence or arising or asserted hereafter, whether under the License Agreement or any Transaction Document or otherwise.  All such liabilities and obligations shall be retained by and remain obligations and liabilities of Seller, Seller Parent, XOMA Bermuda, XOMA Ireland, XOMA Technology, XOMA or any of their respective Affiliates (the “Excluded Liabilities and Obligations”).  For the avoidance of doubt, any and all liabilities or obligations of Seller (as successor-in-interest to Seller Parent and XOMA Bermuda) under Section 2.1, Section 2.3, Section 4.3, Article 8 and Section 9.5 of the License Agreement shall be Excluded Liabilities and Obligations.
 
Section 2.05

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other writing to the contrary, Purchaser does not, by purchase, acquisition or acceptance of the rights granted hereunder or otherwise pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents, purchase, acquire or accept any assets

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.05, Seller shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law, or that Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to grant, create, preserve, enforce, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests and other Liens created by this Agreement in the Collateral.  Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required, or that Purchaser from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that Purchaser holds duly created and enforceable and perfected Liens upon the Collateral (including any property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become Collateral after the date of this Agreement), in each case, as contemplated by, and with the lien priority required under, this Agreement.
 
(d) Upon request of Purchaser at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller shall permit Purchaser or any advisor, auditor, consultant, attorney or representative acting for Purchaser, upon five (5) Business Days written notice by Purchaser to Seller and during normal business hours, reasonable access to Seller’s books and records to make extracts and copies therefrom relating to the Collateral, and to discuss any matter pertaining to the Collateral with the officers and employees of Seller and, if applicable, Seller’s independent certified public accountants; provided, that any such advisor, auditor, consultant, attorney or representative shall be subject to an agreement regarding the confidentiality of the information arising out of such access and/or discussions that are at least as stringent as those contained herein.

(d) In the event that (i) any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority), including any Third Party Claim against Purchaser arising out of or relating to (1) UCB’s or any Person’s deriving rights through UCB’s possession, manufacture, use, sale or other disposition of the Licensed Product, whether based on breach of warranty, negligence, product liability or otherwise, or (2) the exercise of any right granted to UCB pursuant to the License Agreement, shall be brought or alleged by any Person not a party to this Agreement against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to the preceding paragraphs (each, a “Third Party Claim”) or (ii) any indemnified party under this Agreement shall have a claim to be indemnified pursuant to the preceding paragraphs which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.05 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission actually and materially prejudiced the indemnifying party or results in the forfeiture of material substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party.  In case any Third Party Claim is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to notify the indemnified party promptly (but no later than ten (10) Business Days of receipt of notice thereof) that it elects to assume the defense thereof, with counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence and reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after such notice of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying
 


 
-43-

 


party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8.05 for any legal or other expenses (except as provided in the next sentence) subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (x) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (y) the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (z) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate or ineffective due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them in the reasonable determination of the indemnified party based on the advice of outside legal counsel.  The parties agree that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Third Party Claim effected without its written consent, but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or discharge of any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless (X) such settlement, compromise or discharge, as the case may be, (A) includes an unconditional written release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding, (B) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (C) does not impose any continuing obligation, injunctions or restrictions on any indemnified party, encumber any of the assets of any indemnified party or otherwise adversely affect any indemnified party potentially affected by such claim or proceeding and (Y) the indemnifying party pays or causes to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement, compromise or discharge concurrently with its effectiveness.
 
(e) Except in the case of fraud or intentional breach, the indemnification afforded by this Section 8.05 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses sustained or incurred by a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by a party hereto in any of the Transaction Documents or certificates given by a party hereto in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by a party hereto pursuant to any Transaction Document.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) in the event of any breach or failure in performance of any covenant or agreement contained in any Transaction Document, the breaching party agrees that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 8.02, and (ii) in no event shall Losses include consequential damages of the indemnified party, other than the payment of the Royalty Payments.  For clarity, neither party hereto shall have any right to terminate this Agreement or
 


 
-44-

 


any other Transaction Document as a result of any breach by the other party hereto hereof or thereof, but instead shall have the rights set forth in this Section 8.05 and Section 8.02.
 
Section 8.06  
Independent Nature of Relationship
 
(a) The relationship between the XOMA Entities party hereto and Purchaser is solely that of seller and purchaser, and neither any such XOMA Entity nor Purchaser has any fiduciary or other special relationship with the other or any of the other’s Affiliates.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to constitute any such XOMA Entity and Purchaser as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other kind of entity or legal form.
 
(b) No officer or employee of Purchaser will be located at the premises of XOMA or any of its Affiliates.
 
(c) Neither XOMA (nor any of its Affiliates other than Seller) nor Seller Parent nor Seller shall at any time obligate Purchaser, or impose on Purchaser any obligation, in any manner or with respect to any Person not a party hereto.
 
Section 8.07  
Tax
 
(a) The parties hereto shall treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale or exchange of the Purchased Interest for Tax purposes and agree not to take any position which is inconsistent with such treatment on any Tax return or in any audit or other administrative or judicial Tax proceeding.  If there is an inquiry by any Governmental Authority of Seller or Purchaser related to this treatment, the parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in responding to such inquiry in a reasonable manner which will be consistent with this Section 8.07(a).
 
(b) Each of XOMA and Seller Parent shall, and Seller Parent shall cause Seller to, notify Purchaser immediately following any notification by UCB to XOMA or any of its Affiliates (including Seller) that UCB is about to withhold any Tax from any Royalty Payment paid or payable by UCB under the License Agreement.  Seller, upon the request of Purchaser, shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and use its reasonable [*] efforts to make such filings and take such other actions as may be specified by Purchaser in order to allow an exemption or reduction from withholding Tax imposed or to be imposed on any such Royalty Payment.
 
(c) All payments made from any XOMA Entity, including Seller, to Purchaser and all payments made from Purchaser to Seller, including the Closing Payment, in each case pursuant to this Agreement, will be made free of any withholding Taxes, provided that the recipient of any payment provides the payer of such payment a properly executed IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8, as the case may be.
 
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that none of XOMA, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates make any representation or warranty in this Agreement regarding any obligation or position of UCB with respect to withholding taxes, nor
 


 
-45-

 


shall XOMA, Seller and or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in the event of any withholding by UCB.

NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT
 
This Non-exclusive License Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated this 23rd day of December, 1998 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between XOMA Corporation, a Delaware corporation having offices at 2910 Seventh Street, Berkeley, California 94710, U.S.A.  (“XOMA”), and Celltech Therapeutics Ltd., an English company with limited liability having offices at 216 Bath Road, Slough SL1 4EN Berkshire, United Kingdom (“CELLTECH”).
 
BACKGROUND
 
A.           CELLTECH is the owner of certain Patent Rights (as such term is defined below) and XOMA wishes to acquire a non-exclusive license under the Patent Rights; and.
 
B.           CELLTECH is willing to grant XOMA such a non-exclusive license, on the terms and conditions set forth below.
 
C.           XOMA has filed oppositions in the European Patent Office to the grant of certain Patent Rights (as such term is defined below) and is willing to withdraw such oppositions and appeals in consideration for the grant of a non-exclusive license under the Patent Rights.
 
D.           XOMA is the owner of certain patent rights and pursuant to a separate agreement is granting CELLTECH certain non-exclusive rights to such patent rights by a license (the “XOMA License”) of even date herewith.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants hereinafter recited, the parties agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I   —  DEFINITIONS
 
In this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth in this Article.
 
1.1           “Affiliate” shall mean any corporation or other entity which is directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with a party hereto.  For the purpose of this Agreement, “control” shall mean the direct or indirect ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares or other voting rights of the subject entity to elect directors.
 
1.2           “Confidential Information” shall mean (i) any proprietary or confidential information or material in tangible or electronic form disclosed hereunder that is designated as “Confidential” at the time it is delivered to the receiving party, or (ii) proprietary or confidential information disclosed orally hereunder which is identified as confidential or proprietary when disclosed and such disclosure of confidential information is confirmed in writing within thirty (30) days by the disclosing party.
 


 
B-1

 


1.3           “Licensed Product” shall mean any product within the scope of a Valid Claim or produced using any method within the scope of a Valid Claim which has been accepted by CELLTECH pursuant to Section 2.1.
 
1.4           “Patent Rights” shall mean the patent applications and patents listed in Exhibit A hereto and identified in the Boss Patent Rights and the Neuberger Patent Rights which for the purposes of this Agreement shall include all divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, and substitutions thereof; all foreign patent applications corresponding to the preceding applications; and all U.S. and foreign patents issuing on any of the preceding applications, including extensions, reissues, and re-examinations and supplementary protection certificates.
 
1.5           “Valid Claim” shall mean a claim of any pending patent application, and any claim of any unexpired granted or issued patent, in each case included within the Patent Rights, which has not (i) been disclaimed, withdrawn, cancelled or abandoned by CELLTECH, (ii) been finally rejected or held invalid by a decision of a patent granting authority beyond right of review of appeal, or (iii) been held invalid or unenforceable in an unappealable decision of a court or competent body having jurisdiction (including a decision which was appealable but which was not appealed within the allotted time).
 
ARTICLE II   —  LICENSE
 
2.1           Grant.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, CELLTECH hereby grants to XOMA a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license under the Patent Rights to make, have made, use, import, export, market, offer for sale and sell Licensed Products.  XOMA may grant sublicenses to its Affiliates and to third parties in connection with a license or other agreement relating to the grant of rights to such third parties to further develop and/or exploit commercially any Licensed Product which has been developed at XOMA’s own risk and under its own control either in whole or in part, at least to the filing of an Investigational New Drug Application in the United States or its equivalent in Europe or Japan, by XOMA, but this license shall not otherwise include the right to grant sublicenses.
 
XOMA acknowledges that CELLTECH has, prior to the date of this Agreement, granted certain exclusive licenses of the Patent Rights.  Therefore, if XOMA wishes to make, have made, use, import, export, market, offer for sale or sell any product which XOMA believes falls within a Valid Claim or if XOMA wishes to sublicense any such rights in connection with a license or other agreement relating to any product developed by XOMA as provided herein, XOMA shall notify CELLTECH of this in writing, setting out reasonable detail of the nature of the product and the required field of use of such product.  If CELLTECH accepts such product by written notice to XOMA, and such acceptance may only be withheld (i) if it would cause CELLTECH to otherwise violate a license granted prior to the date of this Agreement or (ii) if CELLTECH already has granted a license under the Patent Rights for such product to a third party, such product shall be deemed to be a Licensed Product for the purposes of this Agreement.
 
2.2           No Implied Rights.  Only the license granted pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement shall be of any legal force or effect.  No other license rights shall be granted or created by implication, estoppel or otherwise.
 


 
B-2

 


2.3           Ownership; Enforcement.  At all times CELLTECH will retain ownership of the Patent Rights and may use and commercialize such Patent Rights itself or with third parties.  CELLTECH retains the right, at its sole discretion, to enforce, maintain and otherwise protect the Patent Rights.  Each party shall give the other immediate notice of any infringement by a third party of any of the Patent Rights which comes to its attention during the term of this Agreement.  XOMA will cooperate with CELLTECH with respect to any reasonable actions CELLTECH may choose to take pursuant to this Subsection 2.3 and CELLTECH will reimburse XOMA for all liabilities and reasonable costs incurred by XOMA in this regard.
 
ARTICLE III   —  CONSIDERATION
 
In consideration for the license herein granted by CELLTECH, XOMA
 
(a) agrees to grant to CELLTECH certain non-exclusive rights to technology owned by XOMA pursuant to the XOMA License of even date herewith, and
 
(b) agrees to permanently withdraw the oppositions and appeals filed by XOMA against CELLTECH’s European Patents Nos. 0120694 and 0194276 and to file official documents withdrawing the oppositions and appeals within thirty (30) days after signature by both parties of this Agreement.  In addition, XOMA agrees not to assist any other party with respect to such oppositions and/or appeals from such oppositions.
 
ARTICLE IV   —  REPORTS
 
During the term of this Agreement, XOMA shall keep CELLTECH reasonably informed of its activities subject to this Agreement and within thirty (30) days following December 31 of each year shall provide CELLTECH with a written report indicating the current status of each program involving a Licensed Product that is discussed in the most recent version of XOMA’s annual report to shareholders.  XOMA shall notify CELLTECH within thirty (30) days after the first commercial sale of each Licensed Product.
 
ARTICLE V   —  CONFIDENTIALITY
 
5.1           Confidential Information.  Except as expressly provided herein, the parties agree that, for the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years thereafter, the receiving party shall keep completely confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose except for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement any Confidential Information furnished to it by the disclosing party hereto, except that to the extent that the receiving party can show that such Confidential Information:

(e) is required to be disclosed by law or to a government agency for the purpose of any statutory, regulatory or similar legislative requirement or to meet regulations of any stock exchange to which a party or any Affiliate may be subject.
 
5.2           Permitted Use and Disclosures.  Each party hereto may use or disclose information disclosed to it by the other party to the extent such use or disclosure is reasonably necessary in complying with applicable law or governmental regulations or conducting clinical trials; provided that if a party is required to make any such disclosure of another party’s Confidential Information, other than pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, it will give reasonable advance notice to the latter party of such disclosure and, will use its reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise).
 
5.3           Confidential Terms.  Except as expressly provided herein, each party agrees not to disclose any terms of this Agreement to any third party without the consent of the other party; provided, disclosures may be made as required by securities or other applicable laws, or to actual or prospective corporate partners, or to a party’s accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors.
 
5.4           Agreement Announcement.  The parties hereby agree that the consummation of this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the public domain and may be announced or otherwise referred to by the parties subject to the other party’s written consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

XOMA agrees to indemnify, defend and hold CELLTECH harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys and professional fees and other reasonable costs of litigation), losses or causes of action (each, a “Liability”) to the extent and only to the extent CELLTECH is required to meet a claim by any third party which third party claim arises out of or relates to (i) XOMA’s or any person deriving rights through XOMA’s possession, manufacture, use, sale or other disposition of Licensed Products, whether based on breach of warranty, negligence, product liability or otherwise, or (ii) the exercise of any right granted to XOMA pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent, in each case, that such Liability is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of CELLTECH.
 
ARTICLE VIII   —  TERM AND TERMINATION
 
8.1           Term.  The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the last patent within the Patent Rights, whichever is later, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Article 8.

8.3           Termination for Cause.  Either party may terminate this Agreement in the event the other party has materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, and such default has continued for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof was provided to the breaching party by the nonbreaching party.  Any termination shall become effective at the end of such thirty (30) day period unless the breaching party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such period.  Notwithstanding the above, in the case of a failure to pay any amount due hereunder the period for cure of any such default following notice thereof shall be ten (10) days and, unless payment is made within such period, the termination shall become effective at the end of such period.

8.5           Effect of Termination.
 
(a) Accrued Rights and Obligations.  Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release any party hereto from any liability which, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to the other party or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination nor preclude either party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement.  It is understood and agreed that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that the non-breaching party may be entitled to injunctive relief as a remedy for any such breach.  Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for any such breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
 
(b) Return of Confidential Information.  Upon any termination of this Agreement, XOMA and its Affiliates and sublicensees and CELLTECH shall promptly return to the other party all Confidential Information received from the other party (except CELLTECH may retain copies of any reports or records subject to Article 4).

(d) Licenses.  Subject to Section 8.5(e), all licenses granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Section 8.5, if XOMA terminates the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4, the licenses granted to XOMA herein shall become perpetual and irrevocable, and remaining royalty-free, with the right to grant sublicenses without restriction.
 
8.6           Survival.  Sections 8.5 and 8.6, and Articles 5, 6, 7, and 9 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Attention: Phillip Ansell

Dear Sirs:

           Reference is made to that certain Non-Exclusive License Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated December 23, 1998, by and between XOMA (Bermuda) Ltd. (as successor in interest to XOMA Corporation, “XOMA Bermuda”) and UCB Celltech (as successor in interest to Celltech Therapeutics Ltd., “Celltech”).  By letter dated November 7, 2006, Celltech consented to the assignment by XOMA Bermuda of all of its payment rights relating to CIMZIA® under the Agreement to its Affiliate, XOMA (US) LLC (“XOMA US”).  XOMA US and XOMA Bermuda are now in discussions with OrbiMed Advisors, LLC (the“Purchaser”) regarding a possible sale of such payment rights, as described more fully below.  Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.
 
           Section 10.2 of the Agreement provides, among other things, that XOMA (as defined in the Agreement) may not transfer or assign the Agreement or any rights thereunder without the prior written consent of Celltech, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
           XOMA US now intends to sell, assign, transfer and convey all royalty payments relating to CIMZIA®, which XOMA US is entitled to receive from Celltech under the Agreement (the “Royalty Payments”), to a newly-formed, special purpose vehicle (“XOMA SPV”), which will be an Affiliate of XOMA US, and XOMA Bermuda now intends to sell, assign, transfer and convey all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Agreement to XOMA SPV.
 
Subsequently, XOMA SPV will sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Purchaser and/or certain of its affiliates and assignees, pursuant to a royalty purchase agreement between XOMA SPV and the Purchaser (the “Transaction”): (i) XOMA US’s contract rights to receive the Royalty Payments pursuant to the Agreement, beginning with the Royalty Payment that XOMA US is entitled to receive in respect of the second calendar quarter of 2010 (the “Payment Right”); (ii) XOMA US’s and XOMA Bermuda’s contract rights under the Agreement to enforce the

Re:  XOMA CDRA LLC
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as special counsel to XOMA CDRA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), XOMA (US) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“XOMA US”), XOMA (Bermuda) Ltd., a Bermuda company (“XOMA Bermuda”), XOMA Ireland Limited, an Irish company (“XOMA Ireland”), XOMA Technology Ltd., a Bermuda company (“XOMA Technology”), and XOMA Ltd., a Bermuda company (“XOMA” and, collectively with the Company, XOMA US, XOMA Bermuda, XOMA Ireland and XOMA Technology, the “XOMA Entities”), and this opinion is rendered in connection with Section 2.06(e)(i) of the Royalty Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, XOMA US, XOMA and OrbiMed Advisors, LLC (“you” or the “Purchaser”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
 
In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, (i) the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the Contribution and Sale Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2010 (the “Contribution and Sale Agreement” and, collectively with the Transaction Documents, the “Covered Agreements”), by and among XOMA US, XOMA Bermuda, XOMA Ireland, XOMA Technology and the Company, (iii) a copy of the financing

statement attached hereto as Annex A naming the Company as debtor and the Purchaser as secured party (the “Company Financing Statement”) to be filed in the office of the Delaware Secretary of State (the “DE Filing Office”), (iv) a copy of the financing statement attached hereto as Annex B naming XOMA US as debtor and the Company as assignor and the Purchaser as secured party and assignee (the “XOMA US Financing Statement” and, together with the Company Financing Statement, the “Financing Statements”) to be filed in the DE Filing Office, (v) other documents delivered by the XOMA Entities at the closing, (vi) the UCB Consent and (vii) originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents or public officials and directors, officers, employees and representatives of the XOMA Entities, and we have made such further investigations, as we have deemed relevant and appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.  In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of all originals.  We have also assumed that all agreements, documents and other instruments examined by us to which any party other than the Company and XOMA US is a party (including the Purchase Agreement and the Contribution Agreement) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all such other parties (including the Purchaser, XOMA Bermuda, XOMA Ireland, XOMA Technology and XOMA) in accordance with all laws applicable to such other parties.
 
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
 
(i) The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted.  XOMA US has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of XOMA for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2010 Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 11, 2010.
 
(ii) Each of the Company and XOMA US has the requisite organizational power and authority to execute and deliver the Covered Agreements to which it is party, to perform its obligations thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated to be performed by it thereby.
 
(iii) Each Covered Agreement to which the Company is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action, executed and delivered by the Company.  Each Covered Agreement to which XOMA US is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action, executed and delivered by XOMA US.
 
(iv) Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of each of the Covered Agreements by each party thereto other than the Company and XOMA US, each of the Covered Agreements to which a XOMA Entity is a party will be a valid and binding agreement

of each such XOMA Entity, enforceable against each such XOMA Entity in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.
 
(v) Assuming (A) the representations as to factual matters by the parties contained in each of the Covered Agreements are true, correct and complete and (B) compliance by the parties with the covenants set forth in each of the Covered Agreements, no approval, authorization, consent or order of or filing with any U.S. federal, or New York or Delaware state governmental or regulatory commission, authority or agency is required in connection with the execution and delivery of each of the Covered Agreements by each of the XOMA Entities party thereto and the consummation by each such XOMA Entity of the transactions contemplated by the Covered Agreements (other than any required filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission).
 
(vi) The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Covered Agreements by each of the XOMA Entities party thereto, and the consummation by each such XOMA Entity of the transactions contemplated by the Covered Agreements to which such XOMA Entity is a party, do not and will not conflict with, result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default (nor an event which with notice, lapse of time or both would constitute a default) or result in or require the creation of any lien or security interest (except as provided in the Covered Agreements) under or entitle any party to terminate or accelerate (A) the organizational documents of the Company and XOMA US, (B) any agreement, contract or instrument filed as an exhibit to or incorporated by reference in (1) the 2010 Annual Report or (2) any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K of XOMA filed with the SEC thereafter, in each case to which such XOMA Entity is a party or by which any of it or its properties may be bound or affected, or (C) assuming (1) the representations as to factual matters of the parties contained in each of the Covered Agreements are true, correct and complete and (2) compliance by the parties with the covenants set forth in each of the Covered Agreements, any U.S. federal or New York or Delaware state law, regulation or rule or decree, judgment or order applicable to such XOMA Entity and, in the case of any decree, judgment or order, known to us.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to XOMA (US) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“XOMA US”), XOMA (Bermuda) Ltd., a Bermuda company (“XOMA Bermuda”), XOMA Technology Ltd., a Bermuda company (“XOMA Technology”), XOMA Ireland Limited, an Irish company (“XOMA Ireland” and, collectively with XOMA US, XOMA Bermuda, and XOMA Technology, the “Transferors” and each a “Transferor”), XOMA Ltd., a Bermuda company (“XOMA”), and XOMA CDRA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SPV”), in connection with the transactions contemplated by (i) the Contribution and Sale Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2010 (the “Contribution and Sale Agreement”), among Transferors and SPV, including the purchase of certain assets (the “Transferred Assets”) by SPV from Transferors, and (ii) the Royalty Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between SPV and OrbiMed Advisors, LLC (“Purchaser”), including the purchase of certain royalty payment and related rights identified in the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchased Assets”).  Each capitalized term used herein without definition shall have the same meaning specified in the Contribution and Sale Agreement or the Purchase Agreement (as applicable).
 
We have been asked by our clients to provide our opinion to you on the following issues: (a) whether in a properly presented and argued case under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in which a Transferor or XOMA was to be the debtor, a court having
 


 
F-1

 


jurisdiction over such case would order a substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of SPV with those of such Transferor or XOMA, (b) whether in a properly presented and argued case under the Bankruptcy Code, a bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over a Transferor would treat the transactions evidenced by the Contribution and Sale Agreement as (i) a true sale or absolute transfer of the Transferred Assets from the respective Transferors to SPV, such that the applicable Transferred Assets would not be deemed to constitute property of any such Transferor’s bankruptcy estate under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, and consequently, the court would not be entitled to (A) compel the turnover of such Transferred Assets or the proceeds thereof to a bankruptcy trustee or such Transferor, as debtor in possession, under Section 542 of the Bankruptcy Code or (B) treat such Transferred Assets or the proceeds thereof as subject to the automatic stay provision of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) a loan by SPV secured by a security interest in favor of SPV in such Transferor’s interest in the Transferred Assets,1 and (c) whether in a properly presented and argued case under the Bankruptcy Code, a bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over SPV would treat the transactions evidenced by the Purchase Agreement as (i) a true sale or absolute transfer of the Purchased Assets from SPV to Purchaser, such that the Purchased Assets would not be deemed to constitute property of SPV’s bankruptcy estate under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, and consequently, the court would not be entitled to (A) compel the turnover of such Purchased Assets or the proceeds thereof to a bankruptcy trustee or SPV, as debtor in possession, under Section 542 of the Bankruptcy Code or (B) treat such Purchased Assets or the proceeds thereof as subject to the automatic stay provision of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) a loan by Purchaser secured by a security interest in favor of Purchaser in SPV’s interest in the Purchased Assets.

By virtue of the fact that XOMA Bermuda, XOMA Technology, and XOMA are all Bermuda companies and XOMA Ireland is an Irish company, they may not be eligible to be a debtor under Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and we make no opinion herein with respect to such eligibility.  Nevertheless, the issues raised by the transfer of the assets by XOMA Bermuda, XOMA Technology, and XOMA Ireland to SPV and the other transactions referenced herein are similar to the “true sale” and "non-consolidation" issues that would be raised if XOMA Bermuda, XOMA Technology, XOMA, and/or XOMA Ireland could be subject to the Bankruptcy Code.  These are for the most part issues of common law considered by bankruptcy or other U.S. courts under the laws of a number of jurisdictions, and, accordingly, we have reviewed relevant case law generally, including bankruptcy court decisions.  With your permission, we have assumed for purposes of this opinion that a court of competent jurisdiction acting in the insolvency or similar proceeding of XOMA Bermuda, XOMA Technology, XOMA, or XOMA Ireland would base its decision on such case law and would reach the same conclusions as would a U.S. bankruptcy court evaluating the transfer of the Transferred Assets under the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable law were XOMA Bermuda, XOMA Technology, XOMA, or XOMA Ireland, as the case may be, in fact eligible to be a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code.  Accordingly, with your permission, we have analyzed the transfer of the Transferred Assets and the Contribution and Sale Agreement as if XOMA Bermuda, XOMA Technology, XOMA, and XOMA Ireland were eligible to become a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code.

NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT
 
This Non-exclusive License Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated this 23rd day of December, 1998 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between XOMA Corporation, a Delaware corporation having offices at 2910 Seventh Street, Berkeley, California 94710, U.S.A. (“XOMA”), and Celltech Therapeutics Ltd., an English company with limited liability having offices at 216 Bath Road, Slough SL1 4EN Berkshire, United Kingdom (“CELLTECH”).
 
BACKGROUND
 
A.           XOMA is the owner of certain Patent Rights (as such term is defined below) and CELLTECH wishes to acquire a non-exclusive license under the Patent Rights; and
 
B.           XOMA is willing to grant CELLTECH such a non-exclusive license, on the terms and conditions set forth below.
 
C.           CELLTECH has filed oppositions and appeals in the European Patent Office to the grant of certain of the Patent Rights (as such term is defined below) and is willing to withdraw such oppositions and appeals in consideration for the grant of a non-exclusive license under the Patent Rights.
 
D.           CELLTECH is the owner of certain patent rights and pursuant to a separate agreement is granting XOMA certain non-exclusive rights to such patent rights by a license (the “CELLTECH License”) of even date herewith.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants hereinafter recited, the parties agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I   --  DEFINITIONS
 
In this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth in this Article.
 
1.1           “Affiliate” shall mean any corporation or other entity which is directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with a party hereto.  For the purpose of this Agreement, “control” shall mean the direct or indirect ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares or other voting rights of the subject entity to elect directors.
 
1.2           “Confidential Information” shall mean (i) any proprietary or confidential information or material in tangible or electronic form disclosed hereunder that is designated as
 

 
G-1

 


“Confidential” at the time it is delivered to the receiving party, or (ii) proprietary or confidential information disclosed orally hereunder which is identified as confidential or proprietary when disclosed and such disclosure of confidential information is confirmed in writing within thirty (30) days by the disclosing party.
 
1.3           “Licensed Product” shall mean any product within the scope of a Valid Claim or produced using any method within the scope of a Valid Claim which has been accepted by XOMA pursuant to Section 2.1.
 
1.4           “Net Sales” shall mean actual revenues on an accrual basis, in accordance with U.K.  generally accepted accounting principles, as follows:  the invoice price of Licensed Products sold by CELLTECH or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees to third parties, less, to the extent included in such invoice price the total of:  (1) ordinary and customary trade discounts actually allowed; (2) credits, rebates and returns (including, but not limited to, wholesaler and retailer returns); (3) freight, postage, insurance and duties paid for and separately identified on the invoice or other documentation maintained in the ordinary course of business, and (4) V.A.T., excise taxes, other consumption taxes, customs duties and compulsory payments to governmental authorities actually paid and separately identified on the invoice or other documentation maintained in the ordinary course of business.
 
If CELLTECH receives any consideration for the sale or other disposal of any Licensed Product other than for a monetary consideration on arms length terms as will accurately be reflected in Net Sales, then for the purposes of calculating the royalty payable hereunder, such Licensed Product shall be deemed to be sold exclusively for money at the fair market price generally achieved for such Licensed Product in the country in which such sale or other disposal occurred when such Licensed Product is sold alone and not with other products.
 
For Licensed Products sold in combination with one or more active ingredients, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying Net Sales of the combination product by the fraction A/(A&B) where A is the average sales price of the Licensed Product in the combination when sold separately and B is the total sales price of all other active ingredients in the combination when sold separately.  If the Licensed Product and the other active ingredients are not sold separately, actual cost of product shall be substituted for sales price in the above formula for each of the components oF the combination products.
 
1.5           “Patent Rights” shall mean the patent applications and patents listed in Exhibit A hereto and all divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, and substitutions thereof; all foreign patent applications corresponding to the preceding applications; and all U.S. and foreign patents issuing on any of the preceding applications, including extensions, reissues, and re-examinations and supplementary protection certificates.
 
1.6           “Valid Claim” shall mean a claim of any pending patent application, and any claim of any unexpired granted or issued patent, in each case included within the Patent Rights which has not (i) been disclaimed, withdrawn, cancelled or abandoned by XOMA, (ii) been finally rejected or held invalid by a decision of a patent granting authority beyond right of review of appeal, or (iii) been held invalid or unenforceable in an unappealable decision of a court or
 


 
G-2

 


competent body having jurisdiction (including a decision which was appealable but which was not appealed within the allotted time).
 
ARTICLE II   --  LICENSE
 
2.1           Grant.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, XOMA hereby grants to CELLTECH a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license under the Patent Rights, to make, have made, use, import, export, market, offer for sale and sell Licensed Products.  CELLTECH may grant sublicenses to its Affiliates and to third parties in connection with a license or other agreement relating to the grant of rights to such third parties to further develop and/or exploit commercially any Licensed Product which has been developed at CELLTECH’s own risk and under its own control (or, for cancer related products, in collaboration with American Home Products) either in whole or in part, at least to the filing of an Investigational New Drug Application in the Unites States or its equivalent in Europe or Japan, by CELLTECH, but this license shall not otherwise include the right to grant sublicenses.
 
CELLTECH acknowledges that XOMA has, prior to the date of this Agreement, granted certain exclusive licenses of the Patent Rights.  Therefore, if CELLTECH wishes to make, have made, use, import, export, market, offer for sale or sell any product which CELLTECH believes falls within a Valid Claim or if CELLTECH wishes to sublicense any such rights in connection with a license or other agreement relating to any product developed by CELLTECH as provided herein, CELLTECH shall notify XOMA of this in writing, setting out reasonable detail of the nature of the product and the required field of use of such product.  If XOMA accepts such product by written notice to CELLTECH, and such acceptance may only be withheld (i) if it would cause XOMA to otherwise violate a license granted prior to the date of this Agreement or (ii) if XOMA already has granted a license under the Patent Rights for such product to a third party, such product shall be deemed to be a Licensed Product for the purposes of this Agreement.
 
2.2           No Implied Rights.  Only the license granted pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement shall be of any legal force or effect.  No other license rights shall be granted or created by implication, estoppel or otherwise.
 
2.3           Ownership; Enforcement.  At all times XOMA will retain ownership of the Patent Rights and may use and commercialize such Patent Rights itself or with third parties.  XOMA retains the right, at its sole discretion, to enforce, maintain and otherwise protect the Patent Rights.  Each party shall give the other notice of any infringement by a third party of any of the Patent Rights which comes to its attention during the term of this Agreement.  CELLTECH will cooperate with XOMA with respect to any reasonable actions XOMA may choose to take pursuant to this Subsection 2.3 and XOMA will reimburse CELLTECH for all liabilities and reasonable costs incurred by CELLTECH in this regard.

ARTICLE III   --  CONSIDERATION
 
3.1           Royalties.
 
The license granted hereunder is royalty free provided that if the claims of CELLTECH’s Patent Rights licensed to XOMA under the CELLTECH License are limited by the European Patent Office at any time prior to expiry:
 
(a) (i)           to exclude claims whose scope as substantially as originally granted in Europe under the Boss Patent Rights listed in Exhibit A hereto to either mammalian expression or bacterial expression, CELLTECH shall pay a royalty of [*]% of Net Sales, or
 
(ii)           to exclude claims whose scope is substantially as originally granted in Europe under the Boss Patent Rights listed in Exhibit A hereto to both mammalian expression and bacterial expression, CELLTECH shall pay a royalty of [*]% of Net Sales; and
 
(b) to exclude claims whose scope is substantially as originally granted in Europe under the Neuberger Patent Rights listed in Exhibit A hereto to the production of chimeric antibodies in the form of antibody-enzyme fusions and/or antibody-toxin fusion, CELLTECH shall pay a royalty [*]% of Net Sales.
 
For the avoidance of doubt:
 
(x)           for the avoidance of doubt, the claims of the CELLTECH Patent Rights licensed to XOMA under the CELLTECH license shall not be considered as having been limited by the European Patent Office unless:
 
(i)           they have been modified, disclaimed, withdrawn, cancelled or abandoned by CELLTECH; or
 
(ii)           they have been modified or held invalid or unenforceable in an unappealable decision of a court or competent body (including the European Patent Office) having jurisdiction (including a decision which was appealable but which was not appealed within the allotted time).
 
(y)           the royalty payable to XOMA shall not increase upon expiry of any of the Patent Rights licensed to XOMA under the CELLTECH License.
 
(z)           the provisions of this Article 3.1 shall apply regardless of whether the CELLTECH License remains in effect.
 
3.2           One Royalty.  No more than one royalty payment shall be due with respect to a sale of a particular Licensed Product.  No multiple royalties shall be payable because any Licensed Product, or its manufacture, sale or use is covered by more than one Valid Claim.
 


 
G-4

 


3.3           Royalty Term.  Royalties due under this Article 3 shall be payable on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis from the first commercial sale of such Licensed Product until the expiration of the last-to-expire Patent Right in such country with respect to which a Valid Claim covers the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, import or export of such Licensed Product.
 
3.4           Oppositions and Appeals.  CELLTECH agrees to permanently withdraw the oppositions and appeals filed by CELLTECH against XOMA’s European Patents Nos. 0371998 and 0550400 and to file official documents withdrawing the oppositions and appeals within thirty (30) days after signature by both parties of this Agreement.  In addition, CELLTECH agrees not to assist any other party with respect to such oppositions and/or appeals from such oppositions.
 
ARTICLE IV   --  PAYMENTS; REPORTS AND RECORDS
 
4.1           Payments; Currency.  All payments due hereunder shall be paid by wire transfer in United States dollars in immediately available funds to an account designated by XOMA.  If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the payment of any royalties hereunder, such conversion shall be made by using the exchange rate for the purchase of U.S. dollars quoted in the U.S. version of the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the calendar quarter to which such royalty payments relate.
 
4.2           Royalty Reports and Payments.  After the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product on which royalties are required to be paid hereunder, CELLTECH shall make quarterly written reports to XOMA within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter, stating in each such report, by country, the number and aggregate Net Sales of each Licensed Product sold during the calendar quarter.  XOMA shall treat all such reports as Confidential Information of CELLTECH.  Concurrently with the making of such reports, CELLTECH shall pay XOMA the royalties specified in Section 3.1 hereof.
 
4.3           Records; Inspection.  CELLTECH shall keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of determining the royalty amounts payable under this Agreement.  Such books and records shall be kept at the principal place of business of CELLTECH for at least three (3) years following the end of the calendar quarter to which they pertain and will be available for inspection during such period by Ernst & Young LLP. on behalf of XOMA for the purpose of verifying the royalty reports and payments.  Such inspections shall be made during ordinary business hours.  Ernst & Young LLP. may be obliged to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to commencing any such inspection.  Inspections conducted under this Section 4.3 shall be at the expense of XOMA, unless an underpayment exceeding five percent (5%) of the amount stated for any period covered by the inspection is identified, in which case all reasonable fees and other costs charged by Ernst & Young LLP. relating to the inspection will be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice by CELLTECH.  Any underpayments or unpaid amounts discovered by such inspections or otherwise will be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice by CELLTECH, with interest from the date(s) such amount(s) were due at the prime rate reported by the Bank of America plus two percent (2%).
 


 
G-5

 


ARTICLE V   --  REPORTS
 
During the term of this Agreement, CELLTECH shall keep XOMA reasonably informed of its activities subject to this Agreement and within thirty (30) days following December 31 of each year shall provide XOMA with a written report indicating the current status of each program involving a Licensed Product that is discussed in the most recent version of CELLTECH’s annual report to shareholders.  CELLTECH shall notify XOMA within thirty (30) days after the first commercial sale of each Licensed Product.
 
ARTICLE VI   --  CONFIDENTIALITY
 
6.1           Confidential Information.  Except as expressly provided herein, the parties agree that, for the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years thereafter, the receiving party shall keep completely confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose except for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement any Confidential Information furnished to it by the disclosing party hereto, except that to the extent that the receiving party can show that such Confidential Information:

(e) is required to be disclosed by law or to a government agency for the purpose of any statutory, regulatory or similar legislative requirement or to meet regulations of any stock exchange to which a party or any Affiliate may be subject.
 
6.2           Permitted Use and Disclosures.  Each party hereto may use or disclose information disclosed to it by the other party to the extent such use or disclosure is reasonably necessary in complying with applicable law or governmental regulations or conducting clinical trials; provided that if a party is required to make any such disclosure of another party’s Confidential Information, other than pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, it will give reasonable advance notice to the latter party of such disclosure and, will use its reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise).
 
6.3           Confidential Terms.  Except as expressly provided herein, each party agrees not to disclose any terms of this Agreement to any third party without the consent of the other party; provided, disclosures may be made as required by securities or other applicable laws, or to actual

7.1           Representations and Warranties.  XOMA represents and warrants that it has the right to grant the license granted herein.
 
7.2           Disclaimer.  Nothing in this Agreement is or shall be construed as:
 
(a) A warranty or representation by XOMA as to the validity or scope of any claim or patent within the Patent Rights;
 
(b) A warranty or representation that anything made, used, sold, or otherwise disposed of under any license granted in this Agreement is or will be free from infringement of any patent rights or other intellectual property right of any third party;
 
(c) An obligation to bring or prosecute actions or suits against third parties for infringement of any of the Patent Rights; or
 
(d) Granting by implication, estoppel, or otherwise any licenses or rights under patents or other rights of XOMA or third parties, regardless of whether such patents or other rights are dominant or subordinate to any patent within the Patent Rights.
 
7.3           No Warranties.  SAVE AS SET OUT IN SECTION 7.1, XOMA GRANTS NO WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED TECHNOLOGY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUE OR OTHERWISE, AND XOMA SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, VALIDITY OF THE PATENT RIGHTS OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.
 
ARTICLE VIII   --  INDEMNIFICATION
 
CELLTECH agrees to indemnify, defend and hold XOMA harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys and professional fees and other reasonable costs of litigation), losses or causes of action (each, a “Liability”) to the extent and only to the extent XOMA is required to meet a claim by any third party which third party claim arises out of or relates to (i) CELLTECH’s or any person deriving rights through CELLTECH’s possession, manufacture, use, sale or other disposition of Licensed Products, whether based on breach of warranty, negligence, product liability or otherwise, or
 


 
G-7

 


(ii) the exercise of any right granted to CELLTECH pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent, in each case, that such Liability is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of XOMA.
 
ARTICLE IX   --  TERM AND TERMINATION
 
9.1           Term.  The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the last patent within the Patent Rights, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Article 9.
 
9.2           Permissive Termination.  CELLTECH may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing XOMA notice in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination.
 
9.3           Termination for Cause.  Either party may terminate this Agreement in the event the other party has materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, and such default has continued for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof was provided to the breaching party by the nonbreaching party.  Any termination shall become effective at the end of such thirty (30) day period unless the breaching party has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such period.  Notwithstanding the above, in the case of a failure to pay any amount due hereunder the period for cure of any such default following notice thereof shall be ten (10) days and, unless payment is made within such period, the termination shall become effective at the end of such period.
 
9.4           Termination for Insolvency.  If voluntary or involuntary proceedings by or against a party are instituted in bankruptcy under any insolvency law, or a receiver or custodian is appointed for such party, or proceedings are instituted by or against such party for the involuntary corporate reorganization or the dissolution of such party, which proceedings shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date of filing, or if such party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or substantially all of the assets of such party are seized or attached and not released within sixty (60) days thereafter, the other party may immediately terminate this Agreement effective upon notice of such termination.
 
9.5           Effect of Termination.
 
(a) Accrued Rights and Obligations.  Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release any party hereto from any liability which, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to the other party or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination nor preclude either party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement.  It is understood and agreed that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that the non-breaching party may be entitled to injunctive relief as a remedy for any such breach.  Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for any such breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
 
(b) Return of Confidential Information.  Upon any termination of this Agreement, CELLTECH and XOMA shall promptly return to the other party all Confidential Information

(b) Stock on Hand.  In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, CELLTECH and its Affiliates and sublicensees shall have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of the stock of any Licensed Product then on hand until six (6) months after such termination, subject to Articles 3 and 4 and the other applicable terms of this Agreement.
 
(c) Licenses.  Subject to Section 9.5(e) all licenses granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.5, if CELLTECH terminates the Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.3 or 9.4, the license granted to CELLTECH herein shall become perpetual, irrevocable and royalty-free with the right to grant sublicenses without restriction.
