actually incurred by BMS, its Affiliates or Sublicensees during
such Calendar Quarter with respect to such sales of Product in that

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 Product if sold separately, and
D is the invoice price of the Combination Product. If neither the
Product nor such other active ingredient(s) is sold separately, the
Parties shall in good faith, determine Net Sales for such
Combination Product by mutual agreement.
For avoidance of doubt, Net Sales
shall be determined as set forth above based on sales of the
Product in the U.S. only. Sales of Product outside of the U.S.
shall not be included in the determination of Net Sales.

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
RECORDS, REPORTS AND
PAYMENTS
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

(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
