2.1.1 Selection Notice. During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending [***]
after Micromet initiates work under Section 4.1.1 with respect to the first Collaboration Target
(the Selection Period), MedImmune has the right to provide Micromet written notice of specific
Targets with respect to which MedImmune wishes to commence the development of a BiTE Molecule.
Each such notice (a Selection Notice) will set forth a detailed description of the Target,
including any Patents of MedImmune or Patents of Third Parties known to MedImmune that may claim
such Target or the use thereof or antibodies against such Target, as well as a description of
whether such Target, in MedImmunes estimation, is a Proprietary Target or a Non-Proprietary
Target. The Selection Period may be extended by successive [***] periods upon mutual agreement of
the Parties no later than 30 days prior to the expiration of the original Selection Period or any
extension thereof. MedImmune agrees to provide a Selection Notice within [***] from the Effective
Date and, if MedImmune fails to do so, as the sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, Micromet
may terminate this Agreement.
2.1.2 Target Limitation. MedImmune may provide a Selection Notice for Proprietary Targets
until [***] such Proprietary Targets have become Collaboration Targets as provided for in Section
2.2. Except with the prior written consent of Micromet, MedImmunes right under Section 2.1.1 to
provide Selection Notices for Targets will expire at the time when a total of [***] Targets have
become Collaboration Targets pursuant to Section 2.2. In the event that there is a change in
Target status under Section 2.2.3, MedImmune will have the right to select such Target even if
MedImmune has selected the maximum number of Targets under this Section 2.1.2.
2.2 Gatekeeping Process.
2.2.1 Exclusion Criteria. Upon receipt of a Selection Notice, Micromet will within [***] days
determine whether the Target described in such Selection Notice is the same as: (a) any Target set
forth on Exhibit F; (b) any Target that, at such time, is part of a development program conducted
at Micromet that has been approved by Micromets Project Monitoring Committee; (c) any Target for
which at such time Micromet has granted a Third Party the exclusive right to develop or
Commercialize a BiTE Product that binds to such Target; or (d) any Target for which Micromet at
such time is in good faith discussions with a Third Party respecting an agreement to grant such
Third Party an exclusive right to develop, co-develop with Micromet, or Commercialize a BiTE
Product that binds to such Target (each such Target described in (a), (b), (c), and (d) above an
Excluded Target).
2.2.2 Notification by Micromet. If a Target described in a Selection Notice is an Excluded
Target, then Micromet will notify MedImmune in writing of the grounds for the exclusion during the
[***] period described above. If a Target described in a Selection Notice is not an Excluded
Target, then Micromet will notify MedImmune in writing thereof during the [***] period described
above, and such Target will become a Collaboration Target upon dispatch of such notice to MedImmune
or upon the failure of Micromet to provide any notice during such [***] period. For each Target
that becomes a Collaboration Target under this Section 2.2.2, Micromet will provide notice to
MedImmune of Micromets determination as to whether such Collaboration Target is a Proprietary
Target. Each such notice will include reasonable documentation supporting Micromets
determination. If the Parties fail to agree as to whether a Collaboration Target is a Proprietary
Target (including, without limitation, due to a disagreement as to whether one or more claims in a
patent application would reasonably be expected to be granted),
| *** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |

MedImmune will have the right to submit such issue to arbitration under Section 22.4. If a
Target described in a Selection Notice as a Proprietary Target is, as the result of arbitration,
judged not to be a Proprietary Target, then MedImmune may withdraw such Target from selection and
such Target will be treated for the purposes of the limits set forth in Section 2.1.2 as if
MedImmune had not submitted a Selection Notice for such Target.
2.2.3 Change of Target Status.
(a) If a Target designated an Excluded Target pursuant to Section 2.2.1 becomes available for
selection as a Collaboration Target in that the circumstance of Section 2.2.1 that caused the
Target to become an Excluded Target no longer exists, then as of such date, such Target will no
longer be deemed an Excluded Target under Section 2.2.1, Micromet will promptly notify MedImmune of
such availability, and MedImmune may thereafter tender a Selection Notice with respect to such
Target as provided in Section 2.1.1.
(b) If with respect to a Target designated an Excluded Target pursuant to Section 2.2.1(d)
Micromet does not execute an agreement under which a Third Party is granted an exclusive right to
develop, co-develop with Micromet, or Commercialize a BiTE Product that binds to such Excluded
Target within [***]s following such designation, then, as of the expiration of such [***] period,
such Target will no longer be deemed an Excluded Target under Section 2.2.1(d), Micromet will
promptly notify MedImmune thereof, and MedImmune may thereafter tender a Selection Notice with
respect to such Target as provided in Section 2.1.1.

be distributed to the Parties no less than one week before any JDC meeting. Upon prior written
notice to the other Party, a Party may, in its discretion, invite non-voting employees, consultants
or advisors (which consultants and advisors will be under an obligation of confidentiality no less
stringent than the terms set forth in Section 15) to attend any meeting of the JDC. Each meeting
of the JDC will include at least one representative from each Party.
3.1.4 Meeting Minutes. Minutes will be kept of all JDC meetings by the hosting Party and sent
to all members of the JDC for review and approval within 7 days after each meeting. Minutes will
be deemed approved unless any member of the JDC objects to the accuracy of such minutes by
providing written notice to the other members of the JDC within 14 days of receipt of the minutes.
In the event of any such objection that is not resolved by mutual agreement of both
co-chairpersons, such minutes will be amended to reflect such unresolved dispute.
3.1.5 Decision Making.
(a) The JDC will take action by unanimous consent of its members, with each representative
having a single vote, or by a written resolution signed by all of the representatives.
(b) If the JDC is unable to reach unanimous consent on a particular matter, then the matter
will be referred to the Chief Executive Officers the Parties who will use good faith efforts to
resolve such matter. If such officers fail to resolve such matter, then the [***] of [***] will
finally decide the issue, except that if such matter is primarily related to Micromets activities
to be performed for the development in Europe of an Approved Collaboration Product that binds to a
Non-Proprietary Target, the [***] of [***] will finally decide the issue.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions in this Section 3.1.5 above, if the matter concerns a
dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement, the performance or alleged nonperformance
of a Partys obligations under this Agreement, or any other alleged breach of this Agreement, such
matter will be decided in accordance with the terms of Section 22.4.
(d) The JDC will not have any power to amend this Agreement and will have only such powers as
are specifically delegated to it under this Agreement. Without limiting the preceding sentence,
the Parties understand and agree that the JDC has no decision-making authority with respect to
Commercialization of any Approved Collaboration Product.

5.4 Co-Promotion Agreement.
5.4.1 Within [***] after completion of the Pivotal Trials required for obtaining Marketing
Approval in the Major European Markets for an Approved Collaboration Product for which Micromet has
exercised the Co-Promotion Option, the Parties will negotiate in good faith a co-promotion
agreement governing the co-promotion of such Approved Collaboration Product by the Parties in
Europe. The co-promotion agreement will provide for a role of the Parties in the marketing and
promotion of the applicable Approved Collaboration Product in Europe commensurate with the Parties
respective sales force capabilities; provided, however, that MedImmune will set the sales price,
book all sales revenue, and have control over the marketing and sales programs in Europe.
5.4.2 Dispute Resolution for Co-Promotion Terms.
(a) If the Parties are unable to agree on all terms of the co-promotion agreement with respect
to a particular Collaboration Product prior to the expiration of the [***] period referred to in
Section 5.4.1, the Parties may select a mutually agreeable arbitrator who has significant relevant
experience in the pharmaceutical industry and the promotion of pharmaceutical products in Europe
and no affiliation or pre-existing relationship with either Micromet or MedImmune. If the Parties
cannot agree on an arbitrator within [***] after the termination of the [***] period described in
Section 5.4.1, either Party may request the Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services (JAMS) in
Washington, D.C. to appoint an arbitrator with such experience on behalf of the Parties in
accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of JAMS. The date on which such arbitrator is
selected will be the Arbitration Commencement Date.
| *** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
16
(b) Within [***] after the Arbitration Commencement Date, each Party will prepare and deliver
to both the arbitrator and the other Party its proposed co-promotion agreement and a memorandum
(the Support Memorandum) in support thereof. The arbitrator will also be provided with a copy of
this Agreement. Within [***] after receipt of the other Partys Support Memorandum, each Party may
submit to the arbitrator (with a copy to the other Party) a rebuttal to the other Partys Support
Memorandum (a Rebuttal), which may include a revision, marked to show changes, of either Partys
proposed co-promotion agreement. Neither Party may have communications (either written or oral)
with the arbitrator other than for the sole purpose of engaging the arbitrator or as expressly
permitted in this Section 5.4.2.
(c) Within [***] after the Arbitration Commencement Date, the arbitrator will select from the
two co-promotion agreements provided by the Parties the co-promotion agreement that he or she
believes most accurately reflects the intention of the Parties to this Agreement and the industry
customs regarding the co-promotion of pharmaceutical biopharmaceutical products (the Selected
Agreement). The Selected Agreement will become a binding and enforceable agreement between
Micromet and MedImmune.
(d) The arbitrator will have reasonable discretion to request additional information, hold a
hearing, and extend the time frame for reaching his or her decision regarding the dispute at issue.
To the extent any further arbitration rules or procedures are necessary for resolution of the
dispute at issue, the arbitration rules of JAMS will apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Parties are not required to select an arbitrator from JAMSs panel of arbitrators. The
arbitrators fees and expenses will be paid by the Party whose form of co-promotion agreement is
not selected by the arbitrator. Each Party will bear and pay its own expenses incurred in
connection with any contract resolution under this Section 5.4.2.
5.4.3 Buy-Out of Co-Promotion Option. At any time prior to or after the exercise of the
Co-Promotion Option by Micromet, but in any event before the Parties refer a co-promotion agreement
to arbitration pursuant to Section 5.4.2, MedImmune will have the right to terminate such option or
the co-promotion right by providing written notice of such termination to Micromet. Upon such
termination, MedImmune will pay Micromet a royalty of [***]% of all Net Sales of such Approved
Collaboration Product in [***] sold by MedImmune, its Affiliates or
their sublicensees for the royalty term of Section 13.2.2(a), and will assume any Technology Acquisition Payments that may
become due as a result of the development or Commercialization of such Approved Collaboration
Product in Europe. In such event, Section 13.2.3 will apply with respect to such payments;
provided, however, that in no event will the credit set forth in Section 13.2.3(b) reduce the
amount of royalties due and payable by MedImmune to Micromet under this Section 5.4.3 to less than
[***]% of Net Sales of such Approved Collaboration Product in Europe. For the avoidance of doubt,
the royalties set forth in this Section 5.4.3 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, the royalties
set forth in Section 13.2.1.
5.4.4 Loss of Co-Promotion Rights. If, at the time of an MAA filing in Europe for an Approved
Collaboration Product as to which Micromet has exercised Micromets co-promotion rights in
accordance with this Agreement, Micromet does not have a Qualified Sales Force for co-promoting
such Collaboration Product in one or more countries in Europe, MedImmune will have the right to
terminate
| *** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
17
Micromets co-promotion rights for such Collaboration Product in each such country by written
notice to Micromet. Upon such written notice, Micromets co-promotion rights will be terminated
with respect to such Collaboration Product in each such country and thereafter MedImmune will be
obligated to pay royalties to Micromet with respect to Net Sales of such Collaboration Product in
each such country in accordance with Section 13.2.1(c), as well as Sections 13.2.1(a) and (b). In
the event that there is a dispute between the Parties as to whether or not Micromet has such a
Qualified Sales Force in one or more countries, such issue will be submitted to arbitration under
Section 22.4 and Micromets co-promotion rights will continue in each such country until there is a
decision in such arbitration that Micromet does not have a Qualified Sales Force in such country at
the time of the MAA filing.
6. Reversion of Collaboration Products; Expiration of Collaboration
6.1 Reversion of Products.
6.1.1 Reversion Triggers and Territories. If MedImmune notifies Micromet of its decision to
discontinue the development or Commercialization of all Collaboration Products binding to a
particular Non-Proprietary Target, Micromet will have the exclusive right to continue the
development of and to Commercialize any and all Collaboration Products binding to such
Non-Proprietary Target on a worldwide basis. If MedImmune notifies Micromet of its decision to
discontinue development or Commercialization of all Collaboration Products binding to a particular
Proprietary Target in Europe and Micromet has exercised a Co-Promotion Option and made the
contribution to development costs set forth in Section 5.3 with respect to each Approved
Collaboration Product, then Micromet will have the exclusive right to continue the development of
and to Commercialize any and all Collaboration Products against such Proprietary Target being
developed by MedImmune at such time, but only for sale and use in Europe. In each of the above
cases, such rights will become effective only upon provision by Micromet of the notice described in
Section 6.1.2.
6.1.2 Continuation Notice. If Micromet decides to continue the development or
Commercialization of Collaboration Products under Section 6.1.1 or Section 18.1.1, it will provide
MedImmune with written notice of such decision (the Continuation Notice) within [***] after
receipt of the notice from MedImmune under Section 6.1.1, or within [***] after the effective date
of termination in the entirety of MedImmunes licenses under this Agreement, as applicable. During
such [***] period, MedImmune will make available to Micromet all data and information relating to
such product generated by or on behalf of MedImmune in the performance of the applicable Research
Plan and Development Plan, other than MedImmune Process Technology, as may be reasonably requested
by Micromet to determine its interest in such Collaboration Products.
6.1.3 Licenses and Royalties. If Micromet decides to continue the development or
Commercialization of a Collaboration Product pursuant to this Section 6.1, Micromet will bear all
costs and expenses incurred by it in the development and Commercialization of such Collaboration
Product, including any Technology Acquisition Payments becoming due and payable after Micromet has
provided the Continuation Notice. In addition, Micromet will pay to MedImmune a [***] of such
Collaboration Product that is equal to [***], subject to the [***] set forth in Section [***].
Payment of said royalty to MedImmune will expire if and when the [***] has reached the [***] in
connection with the development of
| *** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |
18
such Collaboration Product pursuant to the applicable Research Plan and Development Plan to
the extent such [***] were not [***] under this Agreement, plus an interest charge of [***]%
compounded annually on [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the termination of
royalty payments, Micromet will continue to pay all Technology Acquisition Payments under
Technology Acquisition Agreements of MedImmune and Micromet that become due as a result of
Micromets development and Commercialization of such Collaboration Products.
6.1.4 Any continuation of development or Commercialization of a Collaboration Product pursuant
to this Section 6.1 will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 18.1.
6.2 Expiration of Collaboration.
6.2.1 The decision-making powers of the JDC and the JPT will cease to apply to the development
of any Approved Collaboration Product for which Micromet fails to exercise the Co-Promotion Option
or for which Micromets Co-Promotion Option or co-promotion rights have been terminated. MedImmune
will assume full control over the development of such Approved Collaboration Products, except that
MedImmune will update Micromet at the meetings of the JDC regarding the progress of the
development, and will provide Micromet with the Development Plan and any updates thereof prepared
by MedImmune in accordance with its normal business practices.
6.2.2 The decision-making powers of the JDC and the JPT will cease to apply to the development
of Collaboration Products that are developed by Micromet after MedImmune has discontinued its
development thereof. Micromet will assume full control over the development of such Collaboration
Products as to which Micromet has provided MedImmune with a Continuation Notice, except that
Micromet will update MedImmune at the meetings of the JDC regarding the progress of the
development, and will provide MedImmune with the Development Plan and any updates thereof prepared
by Micromet in accordance with its normal business practices.
7. Supply of Collaboration Product
7.1 Clinical Supply of Collaboration Products. Upon establishing a manufacturing process
suitable for producing Clinical Trial Materials, MedImmune itself or through a Third Party will
manufacture and supply Clinical Trial Materials in accordance with Applicable Law and cGMP for all
clinical trials for such Collaboration Products conducted by the Parties pursuant to a Development
Plan. For clinical trials of Collaboration Product conducted by Micromet pursuant to this
Agreement, MedImmune will supply Micromet with such Clinical Trial Materials on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 7.
7.2 Supply Price, Forecasting and Purchase Orders. Upon establishing a manufacturing process
suitable for producing Clinical Trial Materials, MedImmune will supply Micromet with Micromets
requirements of such Clinical Trial Materials at MedImmunes [***] for such Clinical Trial
Materials for use in Europe. If Micromet orders such Clinical Trial Material for use in Pivotal
Trials, then MedImmune will manufacture any such Clinical Trial Materials using the applicable
Commercial Process or a clinical scale process, as unanimously determined by the JDC. Micromet
will provide to MedImmune rolling forecasts of its requirements of such Clinical Trial Materials.
The frequency and forward-looking time period of such forecasts will be determined by the JDC.

accordance with the applicable Development Plan. Each purchase order will specify the delivery
dates for the quantities ordered; provided, however, that MedImmune will not be required to supply
such Clinical Trial Materials earlier than a certain number of days after receipt of a purchase
order from Micromet. The number of days for the lead time will be determined by the JDC. Should
MedImmune at any time during the term of this Agreement have reason to believe that it will be
unable to meet an agreed upon delivery date of a shipment after submission of the relevant purchase
order, then MedImmune will promptly notify Micromet of the cause for such delay and the steps to be
undertaken by MedImmune to make up lost time. MedImmune will supply each of Micromets licensees
of Collaboration Product with such licensees requirements of Clinical Trial Materials at [***] for
such Clinical Trial Materials, and each such licensee will be entitled to the rights and privileges
set forth in this Agreement with respect to such Clinical Trial Material; provided, however, that
such licensee agrees to comply with the terms and conditions applicable to Micromets purchase of
such Clinical Trial Material hereunder from MedImmune and MedImmune is made a third party
beneficiary thereof with the right of enforcement.
7.3 Packaging, Shipping and Delivery. MedImmune will fill, release, package and label
Clinical Trial Materials for shipment using due care and in accordance with Applicable Laws and the
specifications set forth in the applicable Development Plan. Any packaging and labeling material
for such Clinical Trial Materials to be used in countries outside the Territory will be provided by
Micromet, at the cost and expense of Micromet. MedImmune will ship such Clinical Trial Materials
[***] (Incoterms 2000) MedImmunes facility by a common carrier designated by Micromet in the
applicable purchase order. Each shipment will be made according to the delivery schedule and in
the amounts specified in the applicable purchase order, and under the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement. Each shipment will include a certificate of analysis and such other
documentation as may be requested on the applicable purchase order.
7.4 Risk of Loss. Risk of loss of Clinical Trial Materials will be transferred to Micromet
upon delivery to the carrier, and thereafter with respect to any loss thereof, Micromet will be
responsible for payment to MedImmune for such Clinical Trial Materials.
7.5 Invoice and Payment. MedImmune will enclose an invoice with each shipment of Clinical
Trial Materials made pursuant to this Section 7 setting forth a detailed account of the quantities
of such Clinical Trial Materials included in such shipment and a good faith estimate of the [***]
for such Clinical Trial Materials. Within [***] of acceptance by Micromet of a shipment of such
Clinical Trial Materials, Micromet will pay the full amount of the estimated [***] set forth in the
relevant invoice. Within [***] after each shipment of Clinical Trial Materials provided to
Micromet under this Section 7, MedImmune will calculate the actual [***] for such shipment and will
provide Micromet with written notice of such [***] and, within [***] of receipt of such notice,
Micromet will pay the difference between the actual [***] for such Clinical Trial Materials and the
amounts paid by Micromet based on MedImmunes estimate of the [***] for such Clinical Trial
Materials, or MedImmune will reimburse any amount of overpayment, as the case may be.
7.6 Warranties. MedImmune hereby warrants that any Clinical Trial Materials provided by

with cGMP and other Applicable Laws in Europe (the Product Warranties).
7.7 Acceptance of Clinical Trial Materials. Micromet will have 60 days after receipt of each
shipment of Clinical Trial Materials (such period, the Acceptance Period) to review such shipment
and test the Clinical Trial Materials therein. If Micromet believes that the Clinical Trial
Materials do not comply with the Product Warranties, then Micromet will deliver to MedImmune
written notice of rejection (the Rejection Notice) of such Clinical Trial Materials, stating in
reasonable detail the basis for such assertion of non-compliance with the Product Warranties. Any
Clinical Trial Materials not rejected within such 60 day period will be deemed to be accepted by
Micromet; provided, however, that Micromet thereafter may send a Rejection Notice for Clinical
Trial Material promptly following the discovery of any failure to comply with the Product
Warranties if (a) such non-compliance was not reasonably discoverable within such 60-day period
(each such non-compliance a Latent Defect), and (b) such non-compliance is discovered within 12
months following receipt by Micromet of the applicable shipment of Clinical Trial Materials. If a
Rejection Notice is received by MedImmune during the Acceptance Period, or thereafter as permitted
with respect to Latent Defects, then MedImmune and Micromet will provide one another with all
related paperwork and records (including, but not limited to, quality control tests) relating to
the production of the Clinical Trial Materials in question or the Rejection Notice.
7.8 Disputes Regarding Clinical Trial Materials.
7.8.1 MedImmune and Micromet will attempt to resolve any dispute regarding the conformity of a
shipment of Clinical Trial Materials with the Product Warranties. If such dispute cannot be
settled within 30 days of the submission by each Party of such related paperwork and records to the
other Party, then such dispute will be resolved as set forth in this Section 7.8.
7.8.2 If the Clinical Trial Materials are alleged not to conform with the Product Warranties
set forth in Section 7.6(a), then Micromet will submit a sample of the batch of the disputed
shipment to an independent testing laboratory of recognized repute selected by Micromet and
approved by MedImmune (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) for analysis, under Quality
Assurance approved procedures, of the conformity of such shipment of Clinical Trial Materials with
the applicable Specifications. The costs associated with such analysis by such independent testing
laboratory will be paid by the Party whose assessment of the conformity of the shipment of Clinical
Trial Materials with the Specifications was mistaken. The determination by the independent testing
laboratory, will be final and binding.
7.8.3 If the Clinical Trial Materials are alleged not to conform with the Product Warranties
set forth in Section 7.6(b), then such dispute will be submitted to an arbitrator located in the
state where the Clinical Trial Materials are manufactured. Such arbitrator will have adequate
scientific background and training and will be selected jointly by Micromet and MedImmune. Such
arbitrator, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of JAMS, will determine whether the
Clinical Trial Materials were non-conforming with the Product Warranties set forth in Section
7.6(b), and such arbitrators findings, will be final and binding. The costs and expenses
associated with the retention of such arbitrator will be paid by the Party whose assessment of the
conformity of the shipment of Clinical Trial Materials with the Product Warranties was mistaken.

7.9 Remedies for Non-Conforming Clinical Trial Materials. In the event that the Parties
agree, or an independent testing laboratory or an arbitrator determines, pursuant to Section 7.8,
that all or a portion of a shipment of Clinical Trial Materials materially fails to conform to the
Product Warranties, then, as the sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, Micromet will not be
obligated to make any payment for such non-conforming Clinical Trial Materials and MedImmune will
reimburse any payments for such materials previously received from Micromet. Further, MedImmune
will produce for Micromet sufficient quantities of Clinical Trial Materials to replace the
non-conforming portion of such shipment of Clinical Trial Materials, in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.
7.10 Audits and Inspections.
7.10.1 A delegation consisting of representatives of Micromet and its licensees that are to be
supplied Clinical Trial Materials by MedImmune under this Agreement, no more than once per calendar
year, will have the right to inspect and audit any MedImmune facility where a manufacturing process
is implemented for such Clinical Trial Materials, and the documentation generated in connection
with the manufacture and testing of such Clinical Trial Materials; provided, however, that Micromet
will be entitled to perform an additional audit in the event that an inspection by a regulatory
authority results in a determination that the facilities in which Clinical Trial Materials are
manufactured fail to comply with Applicable Law in such a manner as may affect the supply of
Clinical Trial Materials hereunder. Such inspections will take place during regular business hours
and with at least 60 days prior notice to MedImmune. Micromet will discuss the results of any
inspection with MedImmune. Any inspection by Micromet, if it occurs, does not relieve MedImmune of
its obligation to comply with all Applicable Laws and does not constitute a waiver of any right
otherwise available to Micromet.
7.10.2 Up to two representatives of Micromet and its licensees that are to be supplied
Clinical Trial Materials by MedImmune under this Agreement will have the right to be present as
silent observers at any announced visits to MedImmune by any regulatory authority relating to the
manufacture of Clinical Trial Materials. Furthermore, MedImmune will inform Micromet of the
results of any inspection by a regulatory authority that does or could reasonably be expected to
affect the manufacture of such Clinical Trial Materials. MedImmune will promptly provide Micromet
with copies of notifications from any regulatory authority (including, without limitation, any Form
No. 483 notification, Enforcement Inspection Reports, Notice of Adverse Finding, etc.). Micromet
will treat all information subject to review under this Section 7.10.2 in accordance with the
provisions of Section 15 and will cause any Third Party auditor retained by Micromet (and
reasonably acceptable to MedImmune) to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement
with MedImmune obligating such auditor to maintain all such information in confidence pursuant to
such confidentiality agreement.
7.11 Commercial Supply of Collaboration Product.
7.11.1 Commercial Supply Agreement. MedImmune will inform Micromet of the completion of
development of each Commercial Process. At such time, Micromet may request that MedImmune supply
Micromet or its licensees with Approved Collaboration Product manufactured using such Commercial
Process in bulk form (i.e. filled vials, unlabelled and unpackaged) for use and sale in Europe if
such Approved Collaboration Product is developed or Commercialized by Micromet or its licensees in
Europe pursuant to this Agreement. If MedImmune elects to undertake the supply of such Approved
Collaboration Product to Micromet or its licensees, then the Parties will enter into a supply
