The Exclusive Option shall be deemed exercised on the date, (i) if an HSR Filing is not required, of Novartis’ notice of exercise or (ii) if an HSR Filing is required, the date of expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act (such date the “Canakinumab Exclusive License Effective Date”). Effective as of the Canakinumab Exclusive License Effective Date, (x) each of the Canakinumab Non-CV Indication Non-Exclusive License and the Canakinumab CV Indication Non-Exclusive License are hereby converted into the Canakinumab Exclusive License; and (y) the provisions set forth in EXHIBIT B shall apply with respect to the Canakinumab Exclusive License. For clarity purposes, the IL-1 License shall remain in effect and unaffected by Novartis’s decision to exercise or not exercise the Exclusive Option.

3.1Upfront Payment. In partial consideration for the licenses granted to Novartis hereunder, Novartis shall pay XOMA a total upfront payment of Ten (10) Million Dollars (US$10,000,000) within five (5) Business Days of the Servier Lien Release.

3.2.1Royalties. Subject to [*], on a CV Canakinumab Product-by-CV Canakinumab Product basis, and country-by-country basis, Novartis shall pay royalties at a rate of [*] ([*]%) on Net Sales of such CV Canakinumab Product for the CV Indication sold by Novartis, its Affiliates, or its sublicensees in the Territory during the Royalty Term.

(a)Novartis’ royalty obligations to XOMA under this Section 3.2 shall commence on a CV Canakinumab Product-by-CV Canakinumab Product and country-by-country basis on the date of First Commercial Sale of such CV Canakinumab Product by Novartis, its Affiliates or sublicensees to a Third Party in the relevant country where such CV Canakinumab Product is Covered by a Valid XOMA IL-1 Claim and shall expire on a CV Canakinumab Product-by-CV Canakinumab Product and country-by-country basis upon the earlier of (i) the date of expiration in such country of the last-to-expire Valid XOMA IL-1 Claim, where the sale of the applicable CV Canakinumab Product in the applicable country would infringe such Valid XOMA IL-1 Claim but for the license granted to Novartis under this Agreement; or (ii) the date on which [*] occurs in such country with respect to such CV Canakinumab Product (the “Royalty Term”).

(b)Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term for a CV Canakinumab Product in a country in the Territory, the licenses and rights granted to Novartis under this Agreement with respect to such CV Canakinumab Product in such country shall become fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free licenses, which shall continue even after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, [*] responsible for the payment of [*] and other payment obligations, if any, [*] in connection with (i) any [*] which [*] and [*], or (ii) which relate to [*] relating to any [*] (collectively, the “ [*]”). All such payments in respect of [*] shall be made promptly [*] in accordance with [*] (collectively, [*] after each such payment has been made. Without limiting [*], in the event [*], or [*], and [*].

3.3.1After commencement of the First Commercial Sale and until the expiration of Novartis’ royalty payment obligations under this ARTICLE III, Novartis agrees to make written reports to XOMA within [*] after the end of each Calendar Quarter covering sales of CV Canakinumab Products by Novartis, its Affiliates and sublicensees during such Calendar Quarter on a country-by-country basis in the Territory in each country where the CV Canakinumab Product is covered by a Valid XOMA IL-1 Claim.

3.3.2Each such written report (“Sales & Royalty Report”) shall, with respect to each country, provide:

(c)the calculation of the royalty payment due on such Net Sales in the Territory pursuant to this ARTICLE III.

3.3.3Following receipt of each such Sales & Royalty Report, [*] Novartis shall make the royalty payment due to be paid to XOMA under ARTICLE III for the Calendar Quarter covered by such report.

3.4Methods of Payments. All payments due from Novartis to XOMA under this Agreement shall be paid in Dollars by Novartis via wire transfer to a bank designated in writing in advance by XOMA. Any payment which falls due on a date which is not a Business Day in the location from which the payment will be made may be made on the next succeeding Business Day in such location.

3.5.1Novartis shall keep complete, true and accurate books and records in accordance with its Accounting Standards in relation to this Agreement, including in relation to Net Sales of CV Canakinumab Products, the CV Tracking Methodology, and royalties due thereon. Novartis shall keep such books and records for at least [*] following the Calendar Quarter to which they pertain.

3.5.2XOMA may, upon written notice to Novartis, appoint an internationally-recognized independent accounting firm (which firm is reasonably acceptable to Novartis, such acceptance not to be unreasonably delayed or conditioned) (the “Auditor”) to inspect the relevant reports, statements, records or books of accounts (as applicable) of Novartis and/or its Affiliates to verify the accuracy of any Sales & Royalty Report. Before beginning its audit, the Auditor shall execute an undertaking reasonably acceptable to Novartis on customary terms by which the Auditor shall keep confidential all information reviewed during such audit. The Auditor shall have the right to disclose to XOMA its conclusions regarding any payments owed under this Agreement.

3.5.3Novartis and its Affiliates shall make their records available for inspection by such Auditor during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from XOMA. The records shall be reviewed solely to verify the accuracy of the Sales & Royalty Reports. [*] In addition, XOMA shall only be entitled to audit the relevant books and records of Novartis relating to a Sales & Royalty Report for a period of [*] after receipt of the applicable Sales & Royalty Report. XOMA agrees to hold in strict confidence all information received and all information learned in the course of any audit or inspection, except to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement or if disclosure is required by Law, regulation or judicial order.

3.5.4The Auditor shall provide its audit report and basis for any determination to Novartis at the time such report is provided to XOMA, before it is considered final. Novartis shall have the right to request a further determination by such Auditor as to matters which Novartis disputes within [*] following receipt of such report. Novartis will provide XOMA and the Auditor with a reasonably detailed statement of the grounds upon which it disputes any findings in the audit report and the Auditor shall undertake to complete such further determination within [*] after the dispute notice is provided, which determination shall be limited to the disputed matters. Any matter that remains unresolved shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures contained in Section 10.1.

3.5.5In the event that the final result of the inspection reveals an undisputed underpayment or overpayment by Novartis, the underpaid or overpaid amount shall be settled promptly.

3.5.6XOMA shall pay for such audits, as well as its own expenses associated with enforcing its rights with respect to any payments hereunder, except that in the event there is any upward adjustment in aggregate amounts payable for any year shown by such audit of more than [*] of the amount paid, Novartis shall pay for such audit.

3.6Currency. All payments under this Agreement shall be payable in U.S. Dollars. When conversion of payments from any foreign currency is required to be undertaken by Novartis, the U.S. Dollar equivalent shall be calculated using Novartis’ then-current standard exchange rate methodology as applied in its external reporting.

3.7Late Payments. Any undisputed amount owed by Novartis to XOMA under this Agreement that is not paid on or before [*] the date such payment is due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the thirty (30)-day United States Dollar LIBOR rate in effect on the date that payment was due, as published by The Financial Times after such payment is due, plus [*] or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable Law, in either case calculated on the number of days such payments are paid after such payments are due and compounded monthly; provided, that the foregoing shall not accrue on undisputed amounts that were paid after the due date as a result of mistaken XOMA actions (e.g., if a payment is late as a result of XOMA providing an incorrect account for receipt of payment).

3.8.1Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.8, each Party shall be responsible for any tax obligations of its own due to this Agreement, including income tax and capital gains tax, and neither Party shall have any obligation towards the other Party in the event that the other Party fails to fully comply with its tax obligations.

3.8.2All transfer, VAT, GST, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such taxes, and any conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, if any, [*]. Novartis shall prepare and timely file all tax returns required to be filed in respect of any such taxes. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate in accordance with applicable Laws to minimize any such transfer taxes payable in connection with this Agreement.

3.8.3Subject to Section 3.8.4, if any taxes are required to be withheld by Novartis, Novartis will: (a) deduct such taxes from the payment made to XOMA; (b) timely pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority; (c) promptly send proof of payment to XOMA; and (d) reasonably assist XOMA in its efforts to obtain a credit for such tax payment. Each Party agrees to reasonably assist the other Party in lawfully claiming exemptions from and/or minimizing such deductions or withholdings under double taxation Laws or similar circumstances.

3.8.4Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Novartis assigns or transfers some or all of its rights and obligations to any Person and if, as a result of such action, the withholding or deduction of tax required by applicable Law with respect to payments under this Agreement is increased, then any amount payable under this Agreement shall be increased to take into account such withheld taxes as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings (including withholdings on the withheld amounts), XOMA receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such increased withholding been made.

3.8.5For all tax purposes, both Parties agree to report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with its terms and to not take any position inconsistent therewith in any tax return, refund claim, litigation, or otherwise.

3.9No Guarantee. XOMA and Novartis acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as representing an estimate or projection of anticipated sales of any CV Canakinumab Product. Neither Party provides any representation, warranty or guarantee that the development of any CV Canakinumab Product will be successful, that Regulatory Approval for any IL-1 Product will be obtained, or that any other particular results will be achieved with respect to the commercialization of any CV Canakinumab Product hereunder.

3.10Costs.

4.2Prosecution and Maintenance of Patents. As between the Parties, [*] shall have the sole right (but not the obligation) for Prosecuting and Maintaining the [*] Patents; provided that if [*] decides not to Prosecute and Maintain any [*] Patent in a country in the Territory, [*] shall notify in writing and consult with [*] regarding such decision or intention at least [*] prior to the date upon which the subject matter of such Patent shall become unpatentable or such Patent shall lapse or become abandoned.

[*] shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with its Prosecution and Maintenance activities of [*] Patents.

4.3Defense of Claims Brought by Third Parties. [*] shall have the right to defend any claim that the making, using, selling, offering for sale, importing, or other exploitation of any [*] by or on behalf of [*], its Affiliates, or its sublicensees in or for the Territory infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of any Third Party, and [*] shall have the right to defend any claim that the making, using, selling, offering for sale, importing, or other exploitation of any [*] by or on behalf of [*], its Affiliates, or sublicensees in or for the Territory infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of any Third Party.

5.1Confidentiality; Exceptions. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties agree that a Party and its Affiliates and representatives (the “Receiving Party”) shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose or use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement any Know-How or other confidential and proprietary information and materials, patentable or otherwise, in any form (written, oral, photographic, electronic, magnetic, or otherwise) which is disclosed to it by the other Party or its Affiliates or representatives (the “Disclosing Party”), including trade secrets, Know-How, inventions or discoveries, proprietary information, formulae, processes, techniques and information relating to a Party’s past, present and future marketing, financial and development activities of any product or potential product or useful technology of the Disclosing Party and the pricing thereof (collectively, “Confidential Information”), except to the extent that it can be established by the Receiving Party that such Confidential Information:

(a)was in the lawful knowledge and possession of the Receiving Party prior to the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party, as evidenced by written records kept in the ordinary course of business, or other documentary proof of actual use by the Receiving Party;

(b)was otherwise developed independently by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as evidenced by written records kept in the ordinary course of business, or other documentary proof of actual use by the Receiving Party;

Subject to and without prejudice to the foregoing, any Confidential Information disclosed by either Party (or their Affiliates) prior to the Effective Date pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement between Novartis International AG and XOMA, dated July 6, 2017 (the “Existing Confidentiality Agreement”) shall be Confidential Information of such Party for all purposes under this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that this Agreement supersedes and replaces the Existing Confidentiality Agreement with respect to such Confidential Information and the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect thereto.

5.2Authorized Disclosure. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, a Receiving Party may use and disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as follows:

(a)under appropriate confidentiality provisions at least as protective of such Confidential Information as those in this Agreement, as reasonably necessary for performance of its obligations or exercise of rights granted in this Agreement (including the rights to make, have made, use, offer for sale, import, sell, and otherwise exploit any IL-1 Antibody or IL-1 Products) including in filing or prosecuting patent applications in accordance with Section 4.2, prosecuting or defending litigation, complying with applicable Law (subject to clause (b) below), seeking and obtaining Regulatory Approval, conducting non-clinical activities or clinical trials, preparing and submitting BLAs to Regulatory Authorities, and marketing IL-1 Products, in each case in accordance with this Agreement;

(c)in communication with actual or potential investors, lenders, acquirers, merger partners, consultants, professional advisors, collaborators, donors, or funding sources as reasonably necessary, and with its licensors as necessary to satisfy its reporting obligations with respect to any IL-1 Antibody or IL-1 Product, in each case under appropriate confidentiality provisions substantially equivalent to those of this Agreement; or

(a)Except to the extent required by Law or any securities exchange or governmental authority or any tax authority to which any Party is subject or submits or as otherwise permitted in accordance with this Section 5.3, neither Party nor its Affiliates shall make any public announcements concerning the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise disclose the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each Party agrees to provide to the other Party a copy of any public announcement regarding this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, as practicable under the circumstances, reasonably prior to its scheduled release. Each Party shall have the right to expeditiously review and recommend changes to any such announcement by the other Party or its Affiliates, and, except as otherwise required by securities exchange listing requirements or applicable Law, approve such announcement, and the Party whose announcement has been reviewed shall remove any Confidential Information of the reviewing Party.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent information regarding this Agreement has already been publicly disclosed, either Party may subsequently disclose the same information to the public without the consent of the other Party. Each Party shall also be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement, in each case on a need to know basis under appropriate confidentiality provisions substantially equivalent to those of this Agreement, to its actual or potential investors, lenders, acquirers, merger partners, consultants, professional advisors, donors, or funding sources.

5.5Publications. XOMA shall not make any public disclosure (whether written, electronic, oral or otherwise) relating to any IL-1 Antibody or IL-1 Product without the prior written consent of Novartis; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to information which is in the public domain or any public disclosure required by Law or governmental regulation or by the rules of any recognized stock exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, Novartis, any of its Affiliates or sublicensees may, without any required consents from XOMA, (a) issue press releases, disclosures, and other public statements as it deems appropriate in connection with the exercise of the licenses and rights with respect to any IL-1 Antibody or IL-1 Products under or in connection with this Agreement, and (b) publish or have published information about clinical trials related to any IL-1 Antibody or IL-1 Products, including the results of such clinical trials; provided, however, if Novartis plans to issue a press release that in its judgment contains material adverse information regarding this Agreement in its entirety or an IL-1 Antibody or IL-1 Product under this Agreement, then Novartis shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide XOMA with reasonable prior notice of such press release.

(e)No government authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of or filing or registration with any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, under any applicable Laws currently in effect, is or will be necessary for, or in connection with, the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith, or for the performance by it of its obligations under this Agreement and such other agreements except as may be required to (i) conduct clinical trials or to seek or obtain Regulatory Approvals of the IL-1 Products or patent extensions and (ii) under the HSR Act with respect to Novartis’ exercise of the Exclusive Option; and

(f)To XOMA’s knowledge, [*] concerning the IL-1 Antibody or IL-1 Products or active pharmaceutical ingredients therein [*] and [*]; and

(g)Neither XOMA nor any Affiliate has entered into a government funding relationship that would result in rights to the IL-1 Antibody or IL-1 Product residing in the U.S. Government, National Institutes of Health, National Institute for Drug Abuse or other agency, and the licenses granted hereunder are not subject to overriding obligations to the U.S. Government as set forth in Public Law 96 517 (35 U.S.C. 200 204), as amended, or any similar obligations under the Laws of any other country.

(a)XOMA will not grant during the Term, any right or license to any Third Party that conflicts or interferes with or limits the scope of any of the rights or licenses granted to Novartis hereunder.

As Novartis’ sole and exclusive remedy, upon any breach by XOMA or its Affiliates of this Section 6.3(d), effective as of the date of such breach, the Excluded Patent(s) for which such breach occurred shall be deemed as and included within XOMA IL-1 Patents.

6.4Covenant of Novartis. Novartis hereby covenants to XOMA that its and its Affiliates’, sublicensees’ and representatives’ performance in connection with this Agreement shall comply with all applicable Laws.

6.5Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR EXTENDS ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY THAT ANY PATENTS ARE VALID OR ENFORCEABLE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

7.1Indemnification by Novartis. Novartis shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless XOMA and its Affiliates, and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “XOMA Indemnitees”), from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees of attorneys and other professional Third Parties (collectively, “Losses”), arising out of or resulting from any and all Third Party suits, claims, actions, proceedings or demands (“Claims”) brought against any XOMA Indemnitee based upon:

10.1Dispute Resolution. If a dispute between the Parties arises under this Agreement, either Party shall have the right to refer such dispute in writing to the respective Executive Officers, and such Executive Officers shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve a given dispute pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30)

days after referring such dispute to the Executive Officers, either Party may have the given dispute settled in court pursuant to the remainder of this Section 10.1. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement. Each Party agrees to commence any such action, suit or proceeding in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Either Party may also assign this Agreement, without the consent of the other Party, to any successor or Third Party that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of the assigning Party to which this Agreement relates, whether by sale, transfer, merger, reorganization, operation of law or otherwise, and Novartis may assign this Agreement to any Third Party in connection with any divestiture undertaken to satisfy an applicable governmental authority or agency; provided, that in each case such assigning Party provides the other Party with written notice of such assignment and the assignee agrees in writing to assume performance of all assigned obligations. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, heirs, administrators and permitted assigns of the Parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.3 shall be null and void.

10.4Force Majeure. No Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to be in default under, or in breach of any provision of, this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation (other than a payment obligation) of this Agreement when such failure or delay is due to force majeure, and without the fault or negligence of the Party so failing or delaying. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure is defined as causes beyond the reasonable control of the Party, including acts of God; material changes in Law; war; civil commotion; destruction of production facilities or materials by fire,

flood, earthquake, explosion or storm; labor disturbances; epidemic; and failure of public utilities or common carriers. In such event XOMA or Novartis, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the other Party of such inability and of the period for which such inability is expected to continue. The Party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations under this Agreement as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled for up to a maximum of ninety (90) days, after which time XOMA and Novartis shall promptly meet to discuss in good faith how to best proceed in a manner that maintains and abides by the Agreement. To the extent possible, each Party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any force majeure.

10.5Notices. Any notice or request required or permitted to be given under or in connection with this Agreement shall be given in writing and personally delivered or sent by certified mail (return receipt requested), or overnight express courier service (signature required), prepaid, to the Party for which such notice is intended, at the address set forth for such Party below:

or to such other address for such Party as it shall have specified by like notice to the other Parties; provided, that notices of a change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof. If delivered personally, the date of delivery shall be deemed to be the date on which such notice or request was given. If sent by overnight express courier service, the date of delivery shall be deemed to be the next Business Day after such notice or request was deposited with such service. If sent by certified mail, the date of delivery shall be deemed to be the third (3rd) Business Day after such notice or request was deposited with the U.S. Postal Service.

10.6Export Clause. Each Party acknowledges that the Laws of the United States restrict the export and re-export of certain commodities and technical data of United States origin. Each Party agrees that it will not export or re-export restricted commodities or the technical data of the other Party in any form without the appropriate United States and foreign government licenses. Novartis shall not be required by the terms of this Agreement to be directly or indirectly involved in the provision of goods, services or technical data that may be prohibited by applicable export control, economic sanctions laws and anti-boycott regulations of the United States and other governments (“Trade Control Laws”) if performed by Novartis. It shall be in the sole discretion of Novartis to refrain from being directly or indirectly involved in the provision of goods, services or technical data that may be prohibited by applicable Trade Control Laws.

10.7Waiver. Neither Party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in writing. The failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition. No waiver by either Party of any condition or term in any one (1) or more instances shall be construed as a continuing waiver of such condition or term or of another condition or term.

10.8Severability. If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intentions of the Parties hereto as nearly as may be possible. Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement other than as set forth herein and therein. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by the respective authorized officers of the Parties.

Neither Party shall have the authority to bind or obligate the other Party and neither Party shall represent that it has such authority.
