XOMA hereby acknowledges receipt of such amount. To the extent that DYAX requires any further assistance in connection with the transfer of XOMA Expression Technology hereunder, DYAX will be able to consult with XOMA scientific staff at $2,500/person-day (based on an eight hour day). The cost of all reasonable travel-related expenses will be fully reimbursed to XOMA by DYAX.

4.2 Royalties.

(a) During the term of this Agreement, DYAX shall pay to XOMA a royalty in cash equal to [*] percent ([*]%) of the Net Sales of any Product(s) in each calendar quarter, commencing with the first calendar quarter ending after the Effective Date of the Original Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no royalty shall be payable on Net Sales by or on behalf of a DYAX Collaborator that is not a Development Partner of DYAX where neither DYAX nor any Development Partner of DYAX directly or indirectly sells the Product.

(b) Royalties due under this Article 4 shall be payable on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis from the First Commercial Sale of such Product until the expiration of the last-to-expire XOMA 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 Product or the tenth anniversary of such First Commercial Sale, whichever is later.

4.3 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. DYAX will use its commercially reasonable efforts to exploit the XOMA Patent Rights, generate and use Licensed Antibody Phage Display Materials, conduct Antibody Phage Display, discover, identify, characterize, develop and commercially launch Licensed Immunoglobulins and Products and/or maximize the amounts available to be shared with XOMA pursuant to this Article 4. DYAX shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or receive any payments or other consideration due to it relating to any activities that would give rise to an obligation under Section 4.2.

4.4 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. Payments required pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof shall be due and payable to XOMA when the corresponding Net Sales are received by DYAX (or any joint venture or similar arrangement in which DYAX is a participant) and shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter. 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 payments relate.

4.5 Payment Reports. After the First Commercial Sale of a Product on which royalties are required to be paid hereunder, DYAX shall make quarterly written reports to XOMA within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, stating in each such report, by country, the number, description, and aggregate Net Sales of each Product sold during the calendar quarter. XOMA shall treat all such reports as Confidential Information of DYAX. Concurrently with the making of such reports, DYAX shall pay XOMA the amounts specified in Section 4.2 hereof.

4.6 Payment Records and Inspection. DYAX shall keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable under this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept at the principal place of business of DYAX for at least three (3) years following the end of the calendar quarter to which they pertain. Upon the written request of XOMA and not more than once in each calendar year, DYAX shall permit an independent consultant appointed by XOMA and reasonably acceptable to DYAX to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of DYAX as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports hereunder for any year ending not more than thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of such request, unless a discrepancy is found. The consultant shall disclose to XOMA only the results and conclusions of its review and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be shared by the consultant without the prior consent of DYAX unless disclosure is required by law, regulation or judicial order. The consultant may be obliged to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to commencing any such inspection. Inspections conducted under this Section 4.6 shall be at the expense of XOMA, unless an underpayment exceeding five percent (5%) of the amount stated for the full period covered by the inspection is identified, in which case all out-of-pocket costs relating to the inspection will be paid promptly by DYAX. Any underpayments or unpaid amounts discovered by such inspections or otherwise will be paid promptly by DYAX, with interest from the date(s) such amount(s) were due at a rate equal to the lesser of the prime rate reported by the Bank of America plus two percent (2%) or the highest interest rate permitted under applicable law.

8.1 Term. Subject to Sections 8.5 and 8.6 hereof, the term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and (a) with regard to the license rights granted to XOMA by DYAX pursuant to Article 3, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the last to expire of the DYAX Patent Rights, unless earlier terminated by DYAX pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4; provided, however, that upon such expiration and absent any earlier termination pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4, XOMA shall have a royalty-free, fully paid up right and license to continue to use the DYAX Materials as permitted by Article 3; and (b) with regard to the license and other rights granted to DYAX and any DYAX Collaborators or Development Partners of DYAX by XOMA pursuant to Article 2, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the last to expire of the XOMA Patent Rights or the tenth anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of the last Product to be launched, whichever is later, unless earlier terminated by XOMA pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4; provided, however, that, to the extent any of the XOMA Know-How is not included in the XOMA Patent Rights, upon such expiration and absent any earlier termination pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4, DYAX shall have a royalty-free, fully paid up right and license to continue to use the XOMA Know-How as permitted by Article 2 .

8.2 Termination for Material Breach. With regard to (a) the license rights granted to XOMA by DYAX pursuant to Article 3, or (b) the license and other rights granted to DYAX and any DYAX Collaborators or Development Partners of DYAX by XOMA pursuant to Article 2, this Agreement may be terminated by either DYAX or XOMA upon any material breach by XOMA or DYAX, as the case may be, of any material obligation or condition of the Agreement, in either case effective fifteen (15) days after giving notice to the breaching party of such termination in the case of a payment breach and sixty (60) days after giving written notice to the breaching party of such termination in the case of any other breach, which notice shall describe such breach in reasonable detail. The foregoing notwithstanding, if such breach is cured or shown to be non-existent within the aforesaid fifteen (15) or sixty (60) day period, the notice shall be deemed automatically withdrawn and of no effect and the notifying party shall provide written notice to the breaching party of the withdrawal. A termination of the breaching party’s rights and licenses pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall not effect the non-breaching party’s rights and licenses, which shall continue until otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement.

8.3 Termination for Insolvency. If voluntary or involuntary proceedings by or against either party are instituted in bankruptcy under any insolvency law, or a receiver or custodian is appointed for either party, or proceedings are instituted by or against either party for corporate reorganization or the dissolution of such party, which proceedings, if involuntary, shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date of filing, or if either party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or substantially all of the assets of either 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.

8.4 Contested Validity. If DYAX, a DYAX Collaborator or any person or entity controlled by any of the foregoing contests the validity or enforceability of any of the XOMA Patent Rights licensed hereunder, XOMA shall have the right to terminate all of the rights and licenses hereby granted to DYAX and any DYAX Collaborator under the XOMA Patent Rights; provided, however, that in the event a DYAX Collaborator contests the validity or enforceability of any of the XOMA Patent Rights licensed

 

-17-


hereunder other than at the direction, and without the assistance or other involvement, of DYAX, then the foregoing termination right of XOMA shall apply only to the rights hereby granted to such DYAX Collaborator. If XOMA or any person or entity controlled by XOMA contests the validity or enforceability of any of the DYAX Patent Rights licensed hereunder, DYAX shall have the right to terminate all of the rights and licenses hereby granted to XOMA under the DYAX Patent Rights.

8.5 Effect of Termination.

(a) Termination of this Agreement 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) Upon any termination of this Agreement, DYAX and XOMA shall promptly return to the other party all Confidential Information received from the other party (except that each party may retain one copy for its files solely for the purpose of determining its rights and obligations hereunder).

(c) Except as expressly provided in Sections 8.1 and 8.2, all licenses granted under Article 2 hereof shall terminate and be of no further effect upon the termination of this Agreement.

8.6 Survival. Sections 2.6(c), 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 8.2, 8.5 and 8.6, and Articles 1, 5, 6 and 9 of this Agreement shall survive any termination hereof.

9.13 Arbitration.

Such dispute shall then be settled by arbitration in New York, New York, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA or other rules agreed to by the parties involved in the dispute, by a panel of three neutral arbitrators, who shall be selected by the parties involved in the dispute using the procedures for arbitrator selection of the AAA.

(b) The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Insofar as it applies, the United States Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation of, enforcement of, and proceedings pursuant to the arbitration clause in this Agreement.

(c) The panel shall render its decision and award, including a statement of reasons upon which such award is based, within thirty (30) days after the arbitration hearing. The decision of the panel shall be determined by majority vote among the arbitrators, shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the parties involved in the dispute, final and non-appealable. Judgment upon the award rendered by the panel may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof in accordance with Section 9.14(a).

(d) Except as provided under the United States Arbitration Act and with respect to the infringement, validity and/or enforceability of the XOMA Patent Rights or the DYAX Patent Rights, no action at law or in equity based upon any dispute that is subject to arbitration under this Section 9.13 shall be instituted.

(e) All expenses of any arbitration pursuant to this Section 9.13, including fees and expenses of the parties’ attorneys, fees and expenses of the arbitrators, and fees and expenses of any witness or the cost of any proof produced at the request of the arbitrators, shall be paid by the non-prevailing party.

Each party consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given pursuant to Section 9.6. Nothing herein shall affect the right of a party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party further agrees that final judgment against it in any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States of America by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of its liability.

(c) Each party agrees that it shall not, and that it shall instruct those in its control not to, take any action to frustrate or prevent the enforcement of any writ, decree, final judgment, award (arbitral or otherwise) or order entered against it with respect to this Agreement, the XOMA Patent Rights or the DYAX Patent Rights and shall agree to be bound thereby as if issued or executed by a competent judicial tribunal having personal jurisdiction situated in its country of residence or domicile.
