Any disposal of Program Products for, or use of Program Products in,

clinical or pre-clinical trials (including Phase 4 Trials), given as free

samples, or distributed at no charge to patients unable to purchase Program

Products shall not be included in Net Sales.

Upon any sale or other disposal of any Program Product, that should be

included in Net Sales, for any consideration other than exclusively monetary

consideration on arm's length terms, then for purposes of calculating the Net

Sales under this Agreement, such Program Product shall be deemed to be sold

exclusively for money at the average sales price during the applicable reporting

period generally achieved for such Program Product in such country in which such

sale or other disposal occurred when such Program Product is sold alone and not

with other products.

Net Sales shall be determined in accordance with GAAP.

In the case of any Combination Product sold in the Territory, Net Sales

for such Combination Product shall be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales

of such Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B) where A is the invoice price

of the Program Product if sold separately, and B is the total invoice price of

the other active ingredient or ingredients in the Combination Product, if sold

separately. If, on a country-by-country basis, the Program Product is sold

separately in said country but the other active ingredient(s) in the Combination

Product are not sold separately in said country, Net Sales for the purpose of

determining royalties of the Combination Product shall be calculated by

multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/D,

where A is the invoice price of the Program Product sold separately in said

country, and D is the invoice price of the Combination Product in said country.

If, on a country-by-country basis, the Program Product is not sold separately in

said country but the other active ingredient(s) in the Combination Product are

sold separately in said country, Net Sales for the purpose of determining

royalties of the Combination Product shall be calculated by multiplying actual

Net Sales of such Combination Product by the result of the equation 1-(X/Y),

where X is the total invoice price of the other active ingredient(s) sold

separately in said country, and Y is the invoice price of the Combination

Product in said country. If neither the Program Product nor the other active

ingredient(s) are sold separately in a given country, the Parties shall

determine Net Sales for such Combination Product by mutual agreement based on

the relative contribution of the Program Compound and each other active

ingredient to the Combination Product, and shall take into account in good faith

any applicable allocations and calculations that may have been made for the same

period in other countries (giving more weight to allocations made for Major

Market Countries than for other countries).

For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the invoice price of a Program

Product (which is not a Combination Product) sold separately for an indication

designated as an "Orphan Product" under the U.S. Orphan Drug Act, as amended,

shall not be used to calculate Net Sales for any Combination Product, except

when such Combination Product is approved for an indication designated as an

"Orphan Product" under the U.S. Orphan Drug Act, as amended.

Net Sales shall not include any payments among Amgen, its Affiliates and

Sublicensees.

1.59 "Other Compound" means a compound which Amgen has acquired or desires

terminated by Predix; provided however, that if the relevant Program Product

does not receive all required Approvals for the Co-Promotion Indication to

permit promotion and sale of the product for such indication throughout the

United States, then the option provided in this Section 5.1 shall [********],

subject to the other terms set forth in this Section 5.1, for [********]

(subject to [********] until the applicable [********]); provided that, Predix

and Amgen shall cooperate in good faith with each other to ensure that the

exercise and performance of the co-promotion rights as described herein can be

exercised by Predix with the minimum reasonable amount of disruption or adverse

impact to Amgen's Commercialization plan for the relevant Program Product in the

United States. Upon exercise of the option, the Parties shall enter into a

written co-promotion agreement, within ninety (90) days thereafter, specifying

the terms of the co-promotion arrangement, which shall be consistent with terms

customary [****] and incorporate the terms and conditions set forth in this

Section 5.1 and in Appendix B hereto. Execution of such agreement shall not be a

pre-condition to Predix's right to exercise the option and to co-promote the

If a milestone event is achieved that triggers a development milestone payment

as set forth above, and the preceding milestone events have not occurred such

that the previous development milestone payments have not been previously paid,

then all such previous development milestone payments shall become due and

payable upon achievement of such milestone event. For example, if a [****] is

started and triggers a development milestone payment as set forth above without

a [****] being previously started (and consequently the applicable start of a

[****] milestone payment has not been previously paid to Predix), in addition to

the milestone payment for the start of a [****], Amgen would also pay to Predix

the applicable milestone payment for the start of a [****].

For both development milestones and regulatory approval milestones, each

milestone payment shall be triggered and payable only one-time, by the first

Program Product to achieve the milestone event. Subject to Section 6.3 and 6.4,

milestone payments for Acquired Products shall [****]; provided that, the

[****]. For example, if a [****] milestone payment were first triggered with an

[****], then [****] would be payable, and if the same milestone were [****] than

an [****], then the [****] would be payable. If a milestone payment is made with

respect to [****], no further milestone payment shall be payable if the

corresponding milestone event is subsequently achieved [****]. In no event shall

Amgen owe any milestone payments in excess of the milestone payment amounts

listed in the tables above for achievement of the corresponding milestone

events, regardless of how many times such corresponding milestone events are

achieved by one or more products.

7.3 Commercialization Milestone Payments. The following milestone payments

will be payable by Amgen to Predix within thirty (30) days of the end of the

Calendar Year in which Amgen (and its Affiliates and Sublicensees, as

Subject to Section 6.3 and 6.4, if Predix decides to include Net Sales of an

Acquired Product in the annual Net Sales of Program Products to satisfy the

requirements for meeting any of the above milestones, then a reduced milestone

payment shall become due and payable as determined in accordance with the

following formula:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a [****] is paid hereunder, and if annual Net

Sales for any one or more subsequent Calendar Years would, under the formula

above, trigger the payment of a [********] of such milestone payment, then, an

amount equal to such [********] will become due and payable as one or more

[********]. Such [********] shall be due and payable, if at all, within thirty

(30) days following the Calendar Year in respect of which they are earned. In no

event shall the achievement of any milestone event require payment(s) in the

aggregate in excess of the full amount of the corresponding milestone payment

(regardless of how many times such milestone event is achieved).

7.4.1 Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.4, Amgen

(b) If PRX-13038 (or any hydrates, anhydrates, solvates, salt

forms, free acids, complexes, conjugates, polymorphs, in all forms,

presentations and formulations thereof) has not been entered by Amgen, or an

Affiliate or Sublicensee, into GLP Toxicology Studies, then the applicable

royalty rates for all Program Products shall be [****] (so that the range of

[****] payable hereunder would be [****] for all [****] and [****] percent for

all Acquired Products, subject to any applicable [****] herein), unless and

until PRX-13038 (or any hydrates, anhydrates, solvates, salt forms, free acids,

complexes, conjugates, polymorphs, in all forms, presentations and formulations

thereof) is entered by Amgen, or an Affiliate or Sublicensee, into GLP

Toxicology Studies. For purposes of this Section 7.4.2(b), the term "GLP

Toxicology Studies" shall mean a toxicology study conducted under Good

Laboratory Practice regulations, and [****]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if

Amgen initiates a Phase 1 Trial with a Program Product comprised of or including

PRX-13038 (or any hydrates, anhydrates, solvates, salt forms, free acids,

complexes, conjugates, polymorphs, in all forms, presentations and formulations

thereof) then there will be [****] under this Section 7.4.2(b) thereafter.

(c) The reductions set forth in this Section 7.4.2, if

applicable, shall be applied prior to any other applicable reductions to the

royalties set forth in this Agreement.

7.4.3 Royalty Term. The applicability of royalties under this

Section 7.4 shall be determined on a product-by-product and country-by-country

basis, based on the Royalty Term applicable to the specific Program Product. Net

Sales to which royalties are applicable shall then be aggregated in the

Territory for all Program Products to determine the appropriate royalty rate(s)

under Section 7.4.1 (subject to any applicable reductions thereto provided for

herein).

7.4.4 Royalty Reduction for Generic Competition. The royalty amounts

otherwise payable under Section 7.4.1 (after application of Section 7.4.2) with

respect to a Program Product shall be reduced on a country-by-country basis upon

(a) the expiration or termination of the last Valid Claim within the Program

Patents claiming the manufacture, use, sale or importation of such Program

Product in such country (regardless of any continuing Program Patents claiming

the manufacture, use, sale or importation of such Program Product in any other

country), in which case the royalty rate for Net Sales in such country shall be

reduced to [****] of the royalty rate otherwise applicable, and/or (b) the

Approval of a Generic Product in such country, in which case the royalty rate

for Net Sales in such country shall be reduced to [****] of the royalty rate

otherwise applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the

reduction to the royalties described in this Section 7.4.4, when combined with

any reduction under Section 7.4.5, reduce the royalties payable under Section

7.4.1 (after application of Section 7.4.2) by more than [****].

7.4.5 Third Party Royalty Payments. If [****] determines that [****]

rights controlled by a Third Party in order to [****], then Amgen shall be

entitled to offset up to [****] of the reasonable amounts paid from time-to-time

to such Third Party to permit the [****] in such country against royalties that

would otherwise have been payable hereunder (after any reduction under Section

7.4.2) to Predix upon sales of the applicable Program Product in such country.

Amgen (or its Affiliate or Sublicensee) shall use its commercially reasonable

efforts to minimize the amount of any of the foregoing payments owed to Third

Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the reduction to the

royalties described in this Section 7.4.5, when combined with any

reduction under Section 7.4.4, reduce the royalties payable under Section 7.4.1

(after application of Section 7.4.2) by more than [****]. Predix shall be

responsible for all payments due to Third Parties under licenses and/or other

agreements between Predix and such Third Parties with respect to Program

Products.

the exception of the initial payment as provided in Section 7.1, shall be made
