CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED WORLDWIDE AGREEMENT

 

This Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement is entered into as of October 1, 2003 (the “Effective Date” ), by and among, on the one hand, HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE INC., a New Jersey corporation having offices at 340 Kingsland Street, Nutley, New Jersey 07110 ( “Roche-Nutley” ) and F. HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE LTD of Basel, Switzerland ( “F. Roche ”) (Roche-Nutley and F. Roche are hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as “Roche ”) and, on the other hand, PROTEIN DESIGN LABS, INC., a Delaware corporation having offices at 34801 Campus Drive, Fremont, California 94555 ( “PDL” ).

 

RECITALS

 

Roche and PDL were originally parties to agreements dated January 31, 1989, as amended (the “1989 Agreements” ) pertaining to humanized and chimeric antibodies against the interleukin-2 receptor ( “IL-2R” ).

 

Under the 1989 Agreements, PDL exclusively licensed to Roche rights to a humanized antibody now known as Daclizumab (as defined below).

 

Roche is currently marketing Daclizumab under the trademark Zenapax® for the prevention of acute organ rejection in patients receiving kidney transplants.

 

In 1999, Roche and PDL replaced the 1989 Agreements with two new agreements (as amended, known separately as the “1999 PDL/Roche Agreement” and the “F. Roche Agreement,” respectively, and collectively as the “1999 Agreements” ) which provided PDL with rights to develop and, if successful, promote Daclizumab in autoimmune indications for increased compensation from the 1989 Agreements.

 

Roche and PDL now desire to replace the 1999 Agreements with this Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement that (1) reverts to PDL all IL-2R antibody rights licensed to Roche by PDL under the 1999 Agreements, subject to Roche’s continuing exclusive license to market and sell Daclizumab for Transplant Indications in the Roche Territory and develop and commercialize products based on [*] that [*] to the [*] of [*] ; (2) grants to PDL the sole and exclusive worldwide rights under Roche’s relevant intellectual property to develop, and, if successful, market and sell Daclizumab for Autoimmune Indications and Other Indications; and (3) grants PDL the right to purchase all of Roche’s remaining rights to Daclizumab, subject to Roche’s right to retain its exclusive license from PDL to develop and commercialize products based on [*] that [*] to the [*] of [*] .

3.7                                  Other Safety Issues .  Either party may request that specific safety issues be discussed, and the parties will establish a Joint Safety Committee ( “JDSC” ), consisting of an equal number of representatives from each party, for such purpose. JDSC discussion on such issues will be for the purpose of advising each party concerning the collection and evaluation of safety data, and responding to any significant safety issues raised, or requests made, by regulatory authorities.

 

3.8                                  Registration .  PDL shall notify Roche in writing if PDL determines that clinical trial results for Daclizumab justify filing an Application.  Roche shall provide cross reference letters reasonably required or useful to allow PDL to make any such filing and to allow PDL to carry out without delay any related clinical trial in the Territory.  PDL shall be responsible for preparing periodic reports required by the FDA related to any such Applications and for timely filing such periodic reports with the FDA.  Through the POC, each party shall advise and consult with the other with respect to any significant issues or questions raised by any regulatory authorities with respect to Daclizumab.
