of a Clinical Trial conducted by Genentech or a Third Party and
related to a Licensed Product. XOMA will consider such proposal,
and has no obligation to undertake any such Clinical Trial or to
provide services in support of a Clinical Trial. If Genentech and
XOMA agree to have XOMA conduct a Clinical Trial or provide
services in support of a Clinical Trial, then the Parties shall
negotiate in good faith with respect to terms under which XOMA
would do so. It is understood that Genentech has no obligation to
offer XOMA any opportunities to conduct Clinical Trials.
2.3 Sole Decision . Genentech
shall have the sole right and the sole decision-making authority,
to be exercised at its sole discretion, without consultation with

interest accrued on that principal amount. XOMA Ltd.’s
obligations under the Note Agreement are deemed
satisfied.
(b) In connection with the foregoing
release, the Security Agreement is terminated, and Genentech shall
use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to release any
claim for any security interest that it holds under or in
connection with the Security Agreement. In this subsection,
Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts include filing
appropriate documentation with the USPTO and other governmental
organizations, as appropriate.
3.3 Payments under the First
Amended and Restated Agreement . Each Party is responsible for,
and will continue to be responsible for, any and all payments owing
or accrued under the First Amended and Restated Agreement prior to
the Effective Date of this Agreement.

to Genentech [*] dollars ($[*]), which the Parties have agreed is
an estimate of XOMA’s share of the U.S. Commercialization
Costs (as defined in the First Amended and Restated Agreement)
incurred during the third calendar quarter of 2004, reduced by an
estimated amount of Development Costs for the first calendar
quarter of 2005. The Parties will reconcile the foregoing estimates
with the actual amounts on or before ten (10) business days after
the end of the first calendar quarter of 2005. For any other
amounts owed by XOMA under the First Amended and Restated Agreement
(including XOMA’s share of the U.S. Commercialization Costs
incurred between October 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004), Genentech
may offset such amounts against royalties owed by Genentech under
this Agreement. Such offset will be on a dollar-for-dollar basis
until all amounts owed by XOMA under the First Amended and Restated
Agreement have been paid in full.
3.4 Royalties . This Article
3 sets forth the only consideration due to XOMA regarding the
subject matter of this Agreement.
-6-
(a) Initial Period Royalty
.
(1) Royalty for Sales in the
United States . As consideration to XOMA for the licenses and
other rights granted to Genentech under this Agreement, beginning
as of the Effective Date and continuing for the first [*] from the
date of the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product approved
for commercial sale in the United States (i.e., [*] from November
17, 2003) (such period, the “ Initial U.S. Royalty
Period ”) Genentech shall make royalty payments to XOMA
as follows:
(A) Genentech shall pay a royalty of
[*] percent ([*]%) for the portion of Aggregate Annual Net Sales of
each Licensed Product in the United States that is less than [*]
dollars (US$[*]).
(B) Genentech shall pay a royalty of
[*] percent ([*]%) for the portion of Aggregate Annual Net Sales of
each Licensed Product in the United States that is equal to or
greater than [*] dollars (US$[*]).
(2) Royalty for Sales in the
Genentech Territory . As consideration to XOMA for the licenses
and other rights granted to Genentech under this Agreement,
beginning as of the Effective Date and continuing on a country by
country basis for the first [*] from the date of the first
commercial sale of a Licensed Product approved for commercial sale
in each such country in the Genentech Territory (each such period
an “ Initial Ex-U.S. Royalty Period ”),
Genentech shall pay a royalty of [*] percent ([*]%) of Net Sales of
each Licensed Product in such country in the Genentech Territory.
Without limiting Genentech’s obligations hereunder, it is
understood that such an amount may be a pass-through royalty from
one or more Ex-U.S. Genentech Partners.
(b) Royalties after Initial
Period .
(1) Royalty After Initial Period
for Sales in the United States . As consideration to XOMA for
the licenses and other rights granted to Genentech under this
Agreement, for sales inside the U.S. (i.e., sales outside the
Genentech Territory) after the Initial U.S. Royalty Period and for
the remainder of the Term, Genentech shall pay a royalty of
either:
(A) if there is at least one
FDA-approved indication for Licensed Products and a Third Party has
obtained Regulatory Approval in any such indication to market
either (i) an anti-CD11a product or (ii) a Non-Anti-CD18 Anti-LFA1
Protein Product, then [*] percent ([*]%) of Net Sales in the U.S.;
or
(B) if not, then [*] percent ([*]%)
of Net Sales inside the U.S. (i.e., outside the Genentech
Territory).
For purposes of this subsection,
“ Non-Anti-CD18 Anti-LFA1 Protein Product ”
means an antibody or other protein that binds to LFA1, provided it
is not an antibody that binds to CD18.
(2) No Royalty After Initial
Period for Sales Outside the United States . On a country by
country basis, after the end of the applicable Initial Ex-US
Royalty Period, Genentech shall not owe any payments to XOMA for
sales in such country in the Genentech Territory. After the Initial
Ex-U.S. Royalty Period for each country within the Genentech
Territory, Genentech shall have an exclusive, paid-up, irrevocable
license under the XOMA Patents and XOMA Know-How to make, use,
sell, offer for sale, have sold and import Licensed Product(s) in
that country within the Genentech Territory.
(c) Third Party Royalties .
Genentech is responsible for any royalties owed to Third Parties in
connection with Licensed Products.
(d) Royalty Payment Timing .
Royalty payments due under this Agreement shall be made quarterly
within ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar quarter
for which such royalties are due. Where Genentech has the right,
pursuant to subsection 3.3(c), to offset against royalties under
this Agreement amounts owed by XOMA under the First Amended and
Restated Agreement, Genentech has no obligation to make payments
except to the extent the royalties owed exceed the amount Genentech
has a right to offset against such royalty payments under
subsection 3.3(c).
-7-
(e) Royalty Payment Reports .
For each month during which any royalties are to be paid under this
Agreement, Genentech shall (i) provide to XOMA an initial report
with a good faith estimate of Net Sales and royalties for Net Sales
in the U.S. (i.e., outside the Genentech Territory), within ten
(10) business days after the end of the applicable month, and (ii)
provide to XOMA an initial report with a good faith estimate of Net
Sales and royalties for Net Sales inside the Genentech Territory,
to the extent available to Genentech, within fifteen (15) business
days after the end of the applicable month. In addition to the
initial report, each royalty payment under subsection 3.4(d) must
be accompanied by a final report summarizing the Net Sales during
the relevant calendar quarter on a regional basis, or such other
basis as available to Genentech. Royalties due will be promptly
reconciled as necessary with reported Net Sales and Annual
Aggregate Net Sales, including as a result of Genentech obtaining
new or additional information from an Ex-U.S. Genentech Partner,
whether as a result of an audit of that Ex-U.S. Genentech Partner
or otherwise.
(f) Audits . Genentech shall
maintain its books of accounts for, and records of Net Sales for,
Licensed Product for [*] after such Net Sales occur. During the [*]
period for records of Net Sales, XOMA may examine such records with
respect to determining appropriate amounts of Net Sales as follows:
Genentech shall permit an independent certified public accountant
selected by XOMA (and reasonably acceptable to Genentech) to
examine such books of account and records kept by Genentech as may
be necessary to determine the correctness of any report or payment
related to such royalty payments. Any such accountant shall enter
into a confidentiality agreement with both parties. Such
examination shall be made at reasonable times during regular
business hours and upon at least twenty (20) business days’
prior notice. In addition, such examination may be conducted not
more often than once each year and may cover only periods not
previously subject to such examination. After Genentech’s
review of the accountant’s examination report and its
agreement with such report, or after a final determination pursuant
to Article 11, Genentech shall immediately pay all understated
royalty payments due to XOMA for Net Sales of Licensed Products by
Genentech, together with interest on such amounts due from the date
accrued, at the interest rate described in Section 3.4(g). XOMA
shall be solely responsible for the expenses of an examination
under this Section unless there is a final determination that
royalty payments under this Agreement have been, [*] in the
aggregate. In that case, Genentech promptly shall reimburse XOMA
for the reasonable costs of the examination. Results of any such
examination shall be provided to both Parties. Those results, along
with any records or accounting information, are Confidential
Information of Genentech and subject to Article 5. The foregoing
clause survives expiration or termination of the royalty
obligations under this Agreement for the period of time Genentech
is required to maintain its relevant books and accounts, but no
more than a total of [*].
(g) Late Payments . Any late
payments under this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate of [*]
(defined as the rate published in the U.S. Federal Reserve Bulletin
H.15 or any successor bulletin thereto) plus [*] percent ([*]%) per
annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is
less.
(h) Taxes . XOMA shall pay
any and all taxes levied on account of, or measured exclusively by,
payments, including royalties, it receives under this Agreement. If
laws or regulations require that taxes be withheld, Genentech shall
(i) deduct those taxes from the remittable royalty, (ii) timely pay
the taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (iii) send proof of
payment to XOMA within sixty (60) days following that
payment.
3.5 Blocked Currency . In any
country where the local currency is blocked and cannot be removed
from the country, royalties shall continue to be accrued in such
