In the event that the Product(s) is sold as part of a Combination Product(s) (where “Combination Product(s)” means any Product consisting of one or more products covered by a Valid Claim packaged, bundled, or otherwise combined for sale with one or more other products that is not covered by a Valid Claim (e.g., a pharmaceutical product which comprises the Product(s) and other active compound(s), ingredient(s), and/or device(s)) (each, an “Other Product(s)”) in a particular country, the Net Sales of the Product(s) in

 

3


such country, for the purposes of determining royalty and commercial milestone payments, shall be determined on a country-by-country basis by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product(s) in such country as determined in the first paragraph of the definition of “Net Sales” (“Combination Product(s) Net Sales”) by the fraction A/(A+B) where “A” is the weighted average net selling price of the Product(s) in such country when sold separately (i.e., without the Other Product(s)) and “B” is the weighted average net selling price of the Other Product(s) in such country when sold separately, in each case, during the relevant period.

In the event that the weighted average sale price of the Product(s) can be determined but the weighted average sale price of the other active compound(s), ingredient(s), and/or device(s) cannot be determined, Net Sales for purposes of determining royalty payments shall be calculated by multiplying the Combination Product(s) Net Sales by the fraction A/C where A is the weighted average net selling price of the Product(s) in such country when sold separately (i.e., without the Other Product(s)) and C is the weighted average net selling price of the Combination Product(s) in such country.

If either (a) the weighted average net selling price of the Product(s) in such country when sold separately (i.e., without the Other Product(s)) cannot be determined but the weighted average net selling price of the Other Product(s) in such country when sold separately can be determined or (b) neither the weighted average net selling price of the Other Product(s) or the Product(s) in such country when sold separately can be determined, then with respect to sales by TuHURA or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, Combination Product(s) Net Sales in such country for purposes of determining royalty payments will be calculated by multiplying the Combination Product(s) Net Sales by the fraction A/C where A will be a price to be negotiated and agreed upon by the Parties, reasonably and in good faith taking into account the target product profile of such Product(s) and other relevant external factors and C is the weighted average net selling price of the Combination Product(s) in such country; provided that, if the Parties are unable to agree upon such price determination within sixty (60) days of commencing such negotiations, then such matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 20 taking into account the standards set forth above.

(xvii)Patent(s)” shall mean (A) the United States and foreign patents and/or patent applications (and any patents issuing therefrom and all continuations, continuations-in-part, divisionals, extensions, substitutions, reissues, re-examinations, and renewals of any of the foregoing) listed in Appendix A hereto and (B) any United States and foreign patents and/or patent applications (and any patents issuing therefrom) to the extent claiming any use of IFx-2.0 in Merkel cell carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, or ovarian cancer owned or controlled by TuHURA or its Affiliates and conceived or reduced to practice prior to, or during, the Royalty Term.

(xviii)Payment” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.

(xix)Person” shall mean any corporation, limited or general partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, unincorporated association, governmental body, authority, bureau or agency, any other entity or body, or an individual.

(xx)Product(s)” shall mean any product or service (i) the manufacture, use, offer for sale, or sale of which infringes any Valid Claim of a Patent or would infringe any pending Valid Claim of a Patent if such claim were to issue or (ii) that otherwise constitutes the use of IFx-2.0 in any pharmaceutical application. For the sake of clarity, a Product will constitute the use of IFx-2.0 in any indication, including Merkel cell carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, or any other oncological indication or related product variant, if Covered and indicated therefor.

(xxi)Representatives” means with respect to a Party, that Party’s employees, officers, consultants, agents, independent contractors, and outside legal advisors.

(xxvi)Royalty Year” shall mean the twelve-month period beginning on the date of the First Commercial Sale made by TuHURA of any Product (regardless of Product) and ending on the date that is one day before the first anniversary of such First Commercial Sale, as well as each successive consecutive twelve month period thereafter during the Royalty Term.

(xxvii)Sublicensee” shall mean a Third Party that is granted a license or sublicense to sell Product(s) in the Field in the Territory, beyond the mere right to purchase Product(s) from TuHURA and its Affiliates or resell such Product(s), and excludes TuHURA’s Affiliates or Third Party subcontractors that act solely for the benefit of TuHURA or its Affiliates in the supply chain or that perform discrete services (as opposed to being granted broad rights or responsibilities) on behalf of TuHURA or its Affiliates.

2. Royalty; Material Terms.

(a) During each Royalty Year during the Royalty Term, as consideration for Parkview’s obligations under the Loan Agreement, TuHURA, an applicable Third Party or Affiliate, or Sublicensee (“Royalty Payors”) shall pay Parkview annual royalty payments equal to (i) [*****]% of the Net Sales during such Royalty Year up to and including [*****] dollars ($[*****]) of Net Sales; (ii) [*****]% of the Net Sales during such Royalty Year for greater than [*****] dollars ($[*****]) of Net Sales up to and including [*****] dollars ($[*****]) of Net Sales; and (iii) [*****]% of the Net Sales during such Royalty Year for greater than [*****] dollars ($[*****]) of Net Sales up to and including four hundred fifty million dollars ($450,000,000.00) of Net Sales (the “Royalty”). For the sake of clarity, since the use of IFx-2.0 in any pharmaceutical application constitutes a Product, the thresholds for Net Sales set forth in this Section 2(a) shall be calculated for the cumulative total of all Products taken together annually. In no event shall the Royalty Payors pay a Royalty in excess of the amounts explicitly set forth in this Section 2(a) for all Products combined.

(b) Any Royalty earned hereunder on Net Sales of Product(s) shall be paid by Royalty Payors within ninety (90) days following the last day of the Royalty Year in which such Net Sales were invoiced by Royalty Payors (each payment, a “Payment”). Each Payment shall be made in US dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parkview. Any Payment not made when due shall bear interest from the due date until paid at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5.00%) per month or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Parkview shall pay all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with any Payment. Royalty Payors will calculate the Net Sales of Product(s) in respect of a Royalty Year in US dollars using the appropriate foreign exchange rate for the currency quoted by the Wall Street Journal on the close of business on the last banking day of such calendar year.

(c) Each Payment shall be accompanied by a statement (each, a “Royalty Statement”) that sets forth (i) the gross amounts invoiced for the sale of Product(s) in the applicable Royalty Year, (ii) the Net Sales of the Product(s) in the applicable Royalty Year showing the calculation of gross amounts invoiced to Net Sales on a Product-by-Product basis, and (iii) a calculation of the Royalty due on such Net Sales. Parkview may, upon reasonable notice and at Parkview’s expense and no more than once annually, audit TuHURA’s books and records for the purpose of determining the accuracy of Royalty Statements for the prior three (3) Royalty Years. All audits shall be conducted on Parkview’s behalf by a certified public accountant selected by Parkview. Audits shall be conducted during regular business hours at the offices where TuHURA maintains such records. Parkview and its auditor shall have access to all records reasonably related to the calculation of Net Sales, including records relating to deductions, discounts, returns, and Combination Products. Such auditor shall be bound by reasonable confidentiality obligations. If such audit reveals a deficiency in any Payment, TuHURA shall pay such deficiency to Parkview within thirty (30) days, together with interest thereon at the rate of the lesser of (A) one percent (1%) per month or (B) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, from the date such payment was originally due. If such deficiency exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Payment actually made for the audited period, TuHURA shall also pay the reasonable documented fees and expenses of the auditor. If the deficiency exceeds twenty percent (20%) for any Royalty Year, Parkview shall have the right to conduct an additional audit for the immediately preceding Royalty Year at TuHURA’s expense. TuHURA will maintain records showing sale of the Product(s) (including sales of other goods or services sold or licensed bundled with the Product(s)) for at least five (5) years from the date of sale.

 

6


(d) If Royalty Payor(s) enters into any Third Party royalty arrangements or patent licenses that are reasonably necessary for the exploitation of a Product, then fifty percent (50%) of the amounts actually paid to the Third Party under the Third Party royalty arrangements or patent licenses Product(s) may be offset against the Royalty that would otherwise have been payable to Parkview, such offset to continue until all such amounts have been expended; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the Royalty owed to Parkview be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) and (ii) Royalty Payor(s) shall provide Parkview with copies of such Third Party agreements, which may be redacted for confidential terms unrelated to royalty calculations.

(e) At any time during the Term and at the written request of TuHURA, the Parties may negotiate in good faith a termination or reduction of TuHURA’s (or its successors’) Royalty payment obligations or other obligations under this Agreement, in accordance with a Buyout Consideration and subject to written agreement executed by both Parties.

(f) Information Rights. TuHURA shall provide Parkview with (i) written notice of any regulatory approval or rejection of a Product within ten (10) business days of such event, (ii) written notice of the First Commercial Sale of any Product within ten (10) business days of such sale, (iii) quarterly reports summarizing clinical trial progress, regulatory submissions, and commercialization activities for Products, and (iv) prompt written notice of any material adverse development affecting the development, regulatory status, or commercial prospects of any Product. TuHURA shall also permit Parkview or its designee to attend, as a non-voting observer, any meetings of the Board of Directors at which matters material to Product development, regulatory strategy, or commercialization are to be discussed, subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions and recusal for matters presenting a conflict of interest.

(g) Sublicensing. TuHURA shall provide Parkview with written notice within thirty (30) days of entering into any sublicense with a Sublicensee, including a summary of the material terms relevant to royalty calculations. Any sublicense agreement shall include provisions requiring the Sublicensee to (i) report Net Sales to TuHURA in a manner consistent with this Agreement, (ii) maintain books and records sufficient to verify Net Sales, and (iii) permit audits by TuHURA (with results available to Parkview). TuHURA shall remain responsible for all Royalty payments to Parkview arising from Royalty Payors sales, regardless of whether TuHURA receives payment from such Royalty Payors.

3. Term and Termination.

(a) Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 3(b) or Section 3(c) below, the term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement and will continue on a Product-by-Product basis until the expiration of the last Royalty Term for such Product(s) (the “Term”).

(e) Termination for Material Breach by TuHURA. Parkview may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to TuHURA if TuHURA (i) fails to make any Royalty payment when due and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Parkview, (ii) materially breaches any other provision of this Agreement and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of written notice from Parkview, or (iii) materially breaches the Loan Agreement and an Event of Default (as defined therein) has occurred and is continuing.
