(ii) If, as of the Initial Opt-In Expiration Date, Genentech notifies Exelixis in writing of its decision to exercise its Opt-In right with respect to such Existing Compound, then: (A) Genentech shall obtain a license, pursuant to Section 7.1, to develop and commercialize such Existing Compound and any other Collaboration Compounds; and (B) all [ * ] Existing Compound will [ * ], but will [ * ]. The Parties shall conduct further development activities and commercialization activities with respect to such Collaboration Compounds and the associated Licensed Products pursuant to this Agreement, with Genentech being the Party responsible for the further clinical development (after the completion or termination of Exelixis Work Plans being conducted by Exelixis on or after the date Genentech exercises its Opt-In rights) of all Collaboration Compound(s) and the commercialization of any Licensed Product(s) containing such Collaboration Compound(s).

(iii) If, by the Initial Opt-In Expiration Date, Genentech notifies Exelixis of its decision not to exercise its Opt-In right, or fails to notify Exelixis of its decision whether it elects to exercise its Opt-In right, then:

(1) If, as of the Initial Opt-In Expiration Date, there is no outstanding request from Genentech for Exelixis to undertake Back-Up Work, and Exelixis does not have any ongoing obligations under any Exelixis Work Plan, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Existing Compound shall become an “Excluded Compound,” and Section 11.3(c) applies. Exelixis shall have the full right (and not obligation) to research, develop, partner and commercialize the Excluded Compound without any further obligation to Genentech.

(2) If, as of the Initial Opt-In Expiration Date, there is an outstanding request from Genentech for Exelixis to undertake Back-Up Work or Exelixis has on-going obligations under any Exelixis Work Plan, then: (I) the Existing Compound shall thereupon become an Excluded Compound; (II) Genentech shall have no rights to develop or commercialize such Excluded Compound; and (III) Genentech shall retain an on-going right to Opt-In as set forth in Section 3.4(c) below. In such event:

(a) Exelixis shall retain all right, title and interest to such Excluded Compound, and shall have the full right (and not obligation) to research, develop, commercialize or partner such Excluded Compound without any obligation to Genentech.

17.

(b) Exelixis shall, subject to Section 3.2 above, continue to use Diligent Efforts to perform its obligations pursuant to the then ongoing and any future Exelixis Work Plan(s).

(c) Subsequent Opportunities for Genentech to Exercise Its Opt-In Right.

(i) Upon completion of each Exelixis Work Plan (or upon a decision to cease Back-Up Work under an Exelixis Work Plan as authorized under Section 3.3(b)), Exelixis shall deliver to Genentech, for Genentech’s review, all data and results generated under such Exelixis Work Plan not previously disclosed to Genentech ([ * ], which is subject to Section [ * ]).

(ii) If Genentech has not exercised its Opt-In right under Section 3.4(b) by the Initial Opt-In Expiration Date or if the development of the Existing Compound is suspended before Genentech’s Opt-In right under Section 3.4(b) is triggered (such date on which the right is triggered under Section 3.4(b), the “Trigger Date”), then Genentech may exercise its Opt-In right at any time prior to [ * ] days after the later of: (I) Exelixis having delivered the data package for the first completed Exelixis Work Plan pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(i) above; and (II) the Trigger Date (“Subsequent Opt-In Expiration Date”). On or before the Subsequent Opt-In Expiration Date, Genentech shall notify Exelixis in writing of its decision as to whether it would exercise the Opt-In (which is for a license for the development and commercialization of Licensed Product(s) containing any Back-Up Compounds that have met all the criteria for DC, [ * ] delivered by Exelixis to Genentech [ * ]). If, as of the Subsequent Opt-In Expiration Date, Genentech notifies Exelixis in writing of its decision to exercise the Opt-In, then Section 3.4(b)(ii) shall apply to such Back-Up Compounds as if such Back-Up Compounds were the Existing Compound. If Genentech does not notify Exelixis of its decision to exercise its Opt-In right prior to the Subsequent Opt-In Expiration Date, then this Agreement shall terminate and thereupon all Collaboration Compounds shall become Excluded Compounds, and Exelixis shall have the full right (and not obligation) to research, develop, partner and commercialize all such Excluded Compounds without any further obligation to Genentech.

(iii) Exelixis shall not disclose any [ * ] to Genentech pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) except upon [ * ].

(iv) [ * ], each Back-Up Compound that does not reach DC pursuant to an Exelixis Work Plan shall, at the end of such Exelixis Work Plan, cease to be a Back-Up Compound or a Collaboration Compound; and, the obligations in Section [ * ] shall continue to apply to such compounds if such compounds [ * ].

(v) For clarity, each compound shall cease to be a Collaboration Compound when it becomes an Excluded Compound.
