ARTICLE 3

PAYMENTS AND ROYALTIES

3.1 Payments . Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, BMS shall pay to Repligen a payment in the amount of five million dollars ($5,000,000).

3.2 Royalty Payments . In consideration of the licenses granted herein, and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, BMS shall pay to Repligen royalties based on the Net Sales of each Product sold during the Royalty Term. The royalty payable with respect to each particular Product shall be based on the level of aggregate annual Net Sales of such Product in a given Calendar Year period by BMS, its Affiliates and Sublicensees, with the royalty rate tiered based upon the level of such aggregate Net Sales in such Calendar Year period as follows:

1.8% of annual Net Sales less than or equal to $500 million;

2% of annual Net Sales greater than $500 million and less than or equal to $1 billion;

4% of annual Net Sales greater than $1 billion.

Royalties shall be calculated using the applicable royalty rate or rates set out above and shall be determined based on the annual Net Sales of the Product for the Calendar Year in question, and shall be paid at the rate applicable to the portion of Net Sales within each of the above Net Sales tiers during such Calendar Year. By way of example, for a Product in a given Calendar Year period, if the total Net Sales of such Product in such Calendar Year period is $1.2 billion, the royalty payable by BMS to Repligen will be (1.8% x $500 million) + (2% x $500 million) + (4% x $200 million) = $27 million.

3.3 Sales To or Between BMS, its Affiliates and Sublicensees . No royalties shall be paid upon sales or transfer of Product to or between any of BMS, its Affiliates, and Sublicensees for further sale, provided that in such case royalties shall be owed upon such further sale of Product in the U.S. by BMS, its Affiliates or Sublicensees to the first independent Third Party.

3.4 No Credit Against Royalties . BMS shall not be entitled to deduct any portion of royalties paid to any third party from the royalties due to Repligen pursuant to this Agreement for any reason.

3.5 One Royalty . Only one royalty shall be payable under this Agreement with respect to the same unit of Product.

3.6 Expanded Access and Donations . No royalties shall accrue on the disposition of Product in reasonable quantities by BMS, its Affiliates or Sublicensees for promotional purposes, as part of an expanded access program or as part of Phase 4 clinical trials or as donations to non-profit institutions or government agencies, except, in each case, to the extent that BMS, its Affiliate or Sublicensees receives payment for such Product.

3.7 Royalty Term . BMS shall have no obligation to make any royalty payments or other payments to Repligen with respect to Net Sales prior to the start of the Royalty Term. For Net Sales after


the end of the Royalty Term, BMS will have no further obligation to make any royalty payments to Repligen under this Agreement and the royalty-bearing licenses and rights granted to BMS by Licensors under this Agreement shall then become fully paid-up and irrevocable, provided that all royalty payments due during the Royalty Term have been paid and the Agreement has not been terminated by any Party prior to the end of the Royalty Term, subject to Article 7.

ARTICLE 4

4.1 Reports . Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, BMS shall furnish to Repligen a written report with respect to the sales of all Product in the U.S. during such Calendar Quarter by BMS, its Affiliates and Sublicensees. Such report shall include (i) the Net Sales and the amount of gross receipts of Product broken down by Product and seller (i.e., BMS, each Affiliate and each Sublicensee) and (ii) the determination of royalty owed (as specified in Article 3) on Net Sales of Product; provided that, in the case where the Effective Date is after March 31, 2008, for Net Sales of Product that occurred during the period of January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008 (the “ First Quarter ”), such report for such Net Sales shall be furnished to Repligen within the later of (x) forty-five (45) days after the end of such First Quarter or (y) twenty (20) Business Days after the Effective Date.

4.2 Manner of Payment . Concurrently with each report pursuant to Section 4.1, BMS shall make the royalty payment then due to Repligen. All payments under this Agreement shall be in Dollars and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to:
