Exhibits 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 to this Amendment No. 1 supercede and replace the corresponding exhibits to the Original Report.

This Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the initial filing date of the Original Report. Other than as expressly set forth above, no part of the Original Report is being amended. Accordingly, other than as discussed above, this Amendment No. 1 does not purport to amend, update or restate any other information or disclosure included in the Original Report or reflect any events that have occurred after the initial filing date of the Original Report. As a result, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 continues to speak as of June 3, 2011 or, to the extent applicable, such other date as may be indicated in the Original Report.

  (b) INEX’s share of such Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue shall be reduced to [*] of any Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue payable to Hana by such Licensee or Sublicensee on or after the date the first patient is enrolled in a Phase II clinical trial of Sphingosomal Topotecan and ending on the date immediately preceding the earlier to occur of:

 

  (i) the date the first patient is enrolled in a Phase III clinical trial of Sphingosomal Topotecan, or

 

  (ii) the acceptance of the NDA or its equivalent Regulatory Submission for Sphingosomal Topotecan.

 

  3.6.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.6, Hana shall have no obligation to pay to INEX its respective share of any such Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue unless and until Hana actually receives such Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue from its Licensee or Sublicensee.

 

  3.6.5 Where any Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue payable to, collected or received by Hana or its Affiliates is in Dollars, Hana shall pay to INEX, INEX’s share of such Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue within ten (10) days of Hana or its Affiliate’s receipt of same. Where any Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue payable to, collected or received by Hana or its Affiliates is derived from a country other than the United States of America, INEX’s portion of such Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue shall be converted to the equivalent in Dollars on the same date that Hana converts such Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue to Dollars, in which case the amount of Dollars pursuant to an actual conversion shall be included in the Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue and Hana shall pay to INEX, INEX’s share of such Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue within ten (10) days of such conversion. If at any time the Parties agree that it is not practical or possible for Hana to forthwith convert Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue paid in foreign currency to Dollars, or if legal restrictions prevent the conversion of part or all of the Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue to Dollars, Hana shall have the right and option, upon consultation with INEX, to deposit INEX’s share of such Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue in local currency, in an account in INEX’s sole name in a bank or depository in the country where such Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue is generated. Hana shall make such deposit within ten (10) days of Hana or its Affiliate’s receipt of said foreign currency. The last date of

 

   27    *Confidential Treatment Requested.

  signature of any duly executed License or Sublicense between Hana and a Licensee or Sublicensee shall be deemed to be the date upon which Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue is received by Hana for the purposes of determining the percentage of Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue payable to INEX pursuant to Sections 3.6.1, 3.6.2 and 3.6.3. Hana shall make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to inform INEX in a timely manner of material legislative and economic changes in such country in which such deposit was made so as to enable INEX to more readily access, convert and/or transfer from such country, INEX’s share of Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue deposited in such country by Hana.

 

  3.6.6 Notwithstanding Section 3.6.5, if any Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue other than cash is payable to, collected or received by Hana or its Affiliates, Hana may elect to pay to INEX, INEX’s share of Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue by way of cash, common stock of Hana, common stock of another corporation acceptable to INEX, or any combination thereof. If Hana elects to pay INEX using the Common Stock of Hana or the common stock of another corporation acceptable to INEX, the following shall apply:

 

  (a) the last date of signature of any duly executed License or Sublicense between Hana and a Licensee or Sublicensee, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the date upon which Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue is received by Hana for the purposes of determining the percentage of Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue payable to INEX pursuant to Sections 3.6.1, 3.6.2 and 3.6.3;

 

  (b) the value of the economic benefit of the Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue established by a Third Party banker or valuator, measured in Dollars and applied to the percentage entitlement of INEX determined pursuant to Section 3.6.6(a), shall be the assessed value (the “Assessed Value”) to be used in determining the number of shares of Common Stock of Hana or common stock of another corporation acceptable to INEX payable to INEX pursuant to Section 3.6.6(c); and

 

  (c) Hana will pay INEX using Common Stock of Hana or common stock of another corporation acceptable to INEX as follows:

 

  (i) the Parties will mutually agree on the par value per share of common stock of Hana or of another corporation acceptable to INEX; and

 

  (ii) Hana will issue or assign to INEX as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock of Hana or common stock of another corporation acceptable to INEX by dividing the Assessed Value by the FMV as of the date upon which Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue was deemed to have been received by Hana pursuant to Section 3.6.6(a).

 

  3.6.7 If Hana elects to pay Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue using a combination of cash and stock as described in this Section, the Assessed Value used to calculate the stock payable shall be reduced by the value of Dollars actually paid to INEX in accordance with Section 3.6.5.

 

  (a) Hana’s payment of Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue in the form of stock pursuant to his Section shall be made within ten (10) days of Hana’s receipt of same.

 

   28   

  3.6.8 Hana’s payment of Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue under this Section 3.6 shall be accompanied by an accounting setting out all Licensing/Sublicensing Revenue payable to, collected or received by Hana or its Affiliates, segmented according to Product, Licensee and Sublicensee identified by name, and the last date on which each License and Sublicense was executed.

 

3.7 Third Party Payments

 

  3.7.1 If, during the term of this Agreement:

 

  (a) Hana and INEX mutually agree that it is necessary to seek a license from any Third Party in the Territory in order to avoid infringement during the exercise of the rights herein granted; or

 

  (b) if as a result of any complaint alleging infringement or violation of any patent or other Intellectual Property Rights is made against Hana, its Affiliate or its Licensee or Sublicensee with respect of the Manufacture, use or sale of a Product in the Hana Field, where such Manufacture, use or sale is encompassed by one or more Patents or Technology, and a settlement, consent judgment or award of Damages determined by a court of competent jurisdiction requires Hana to make payment of Damages to a Third Party in satisfaction of such complaint; or

 

  (c) if an independent, mutually acceptable Third Party patent attorney determines that such a license is required (in accordance with the procedure outlined in this Section 3.7.1);

Hana shall pay all royalties, Damages or other amounts to the Third Party (the “Offset Amount”), and subject to Section 3.7.2, Hana’s sole remedy from INEX for such payment shall be to offset or credit [*] of the Offset Amount against future payments otherwise due INEX as royalties hereunder. Royalties due INEX shall not, however, be reduced by more than [*] of the applicable royalties set forth in Sections 3.1.2, 3.2.2 and 3.3.2 during any given calendar year. Any uncredited portion of the permitted Offset Amount will be carried forward until the full permitted Offset Amount has been satisfied. The Offset Amount shall not include any punitive award payable to the Third Party (the “Punitive Amount”), and thus any Punitive Amount is not to be offset or credited against future royalty payments due INEX. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree on whether any such license is needed or on the terms of such license, the Parties shall submit such dispute to an independent, mutually acceptable Third Party patent attorney for a final and binding determination of such Dispute, and the Parties shall equally share the cost of engaging such patent attorney.

 

  3.7.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.7.1, if the license from the Third Party or the royalty or other amount payable to such Third Party gives rise to an indemnification obligation under one or more of the Definitive Agreements in favor of Hana on the part of INEX, then such royalty or other amount shall be paid by INEX as Damages in accordance therewith; provided, however, that Hana agrees to use all reasonable efforts to avoid a finding of willful infringement of such Third Party’s rights.

 

   29    *Confidential Treatment Requested.

3.8 Compulsory Licenses

In the event that a government agency in any country of the Territory grants or compels INEX, Hana, or either of their respective Affiliates or licensees or sublicensees (including Licensees and Sublicensees) to grant a right to commercialize Product to any Third Party, Hana may, at its sole option, either:

 

  3.8.1 avail itself of the royalty reduction set out in Sections 3.1.3, 3.2.3, or 3.3.3, if applicable; or

 

  3.8.2 have the benefit in such country of the same terms granted to such Third Party to the extent that such terms taken as a whole are more favorable than those of this Agreement.

 

3.9 Reports and Payment

Hana shall deliver to INEX within thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter a written report showing its computation of royalties due under this Agreement upon Net Sales by Hana and its Affiliates and its Licensees and Sublicensees during such Calendar Quarter, and setting out:

 

  3.9.1 all Net Sales segmented in each such report according to sales by Hana, each Affiliate and each Licensee and Sublicensee, as well as on a country-by-country basis, and month-by-month basis;

 

  3.9.2 deductions from gross revenues by the categories for same set out in the definition of Net Sales; and

 

  3.9.3 the rates of exchange used to convert such royalties to Dollars from the currency in which such sales were made. For the purposes hereof, such conversion calculations are to be made on a monthly basis and the rates of exchange to be used for converting royalties hereunder to Dollars shall be those in effect for the purchase of Dollars as certified by the noon buying rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the first Business Day of the quarter with respect to which the payment is due.

Hana, simultaneously with the delivery of each such report, shall tender payment in Dollars of all royalties shown to be due thereon.

 

3.10 Withholding Taxes

Any tax which Hana is required to pay or withhold with respect of license fees, royalty payments and milestone payments to be made to INEX hereunder shall be deducted from the amount otherwise due provided that, in regard to any such deduction, Hana shall give INEX such assistance, which shall include the provision of such documentation as may be required by the US Internal Revenue Service and other revenue services, as may reasonably be necessary to enable INEX to evidence such payment, claim exemption therefrom or obtain a repayment thereof or a reduction thereof and shall upon request provide such additional documentation from time to time as is needed to confirm the payment of tax. The Parties agree that:

 

  3.10.1 Hana shall be deemed to be the sole payer of payments owed to INEX under this Agreement and shall not have the right to substitute any domestic or foreign Affiliate for that purpose, and

 

   30   

  3.10.2 in the event that Hana takes any action, including, without limitation, the assignment of this Agreement, any licensing or sublicensing permitted hereby, any change of jurisdiction of residence or any reorganization or change in its business or structure so that, after such action, the withholding tax on the payments under this Agreement would be substantially more than those in effect on the Effective Date of the Definitive Agreements, Hana shall either:

 

  (a) with the co-operation of INEX, arrange its affairs so that the withholding tax consequences to INEX are not materially worse than those in effect prior to such action; or

 

  (b) gross up the payments otherwise owed to INEX so that INEX receives net of withholding taxes the amount INEX would have received but for such action.

 

3.11 Foreign Payments

Where payments are due INEX hereunder for sales of a Product in a country in the Territory where, by reason of currency regulations or taxes of any kind, it is impossible or illegal for Hana or any Affiliates or Licensees or Sublicensees, as the case may be, to transfer such payments to INEX, such payments shall be deposited in whatever currency is allowable by the Person not able to make the transfer for the benefit or credit of INEX in an accredited bank in that country in the Territory that is reasonably acceptable to INEX.

  3.13.1 the Prime Rate(s) during the period of late payment plus [*] interest compounded monthly, or

 

  3.13.2 the maximum rate permitted by law;

calculated based on the number of days that payment is delinquent until full payment has been made.

 

3.14 Records

Hana shall keep, and shall require all Affiliates, Licensee and Sublicensees to keep, full, true and accurate books of accounts and other records containing all information and data which may be necessary to ascertain and verify the royalties payable hereunder for a period of three (3) years after the date such royalties became payable.

 

3.15 Audits

During the Term, after the first commercial sale of Product and for a period of one (1) year following termination of this Agreement, INEX shall have the right from time to time (not to exceed once during

 

   31    *Confidential Treatment Requested.

each calendar year) to have either its internal financial audit personnel or an independent firm of accountants (i.e., a certified public accountant or like Person reasonably acceptable to Hana) inspect such books, records and supporting data of Hana, provided such audit shall not cover such records for more than the preceding five years. Such independent firm of accountants shall perform these audits at INEX’s expense upon reasonable prior notice and during Hana’s regular business hours, and shall agree as a condition to such audit to maintain the confidentiality of all information of Hana disclosed or observed in connection with such audit and to disclose to INEX only whether Hana has complied with its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the accuracy of the royalty statements, payments and Permitted Deductions. If the result of such audit demonstrates an underpayment by Hana to INEX of [*] or more, Hana shall pay for the reasonable costs of such audit, and shall immediately pay to INEX the underpayment together with interest thereon at the Royal Bank of Canada prime lending rate prevailing at the time, plus [*].

In the event that the parties cannot reach agreement on or before December 31, the matter will be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Article 13.

 

  8.2.4 Hana shall diligently pursue the prosecution of all patent applications in accordance with the responsibilities set forth in Section 8.2.1 and cost allocations set forth in Exhibits 1.1.9 and 1.1.54 to issuance of the resulting patents and shall not abandon, withdraw or discontinue prosecution of any pending patent applications included in the Patents without first consulting with and obtaining the prior written consent of INEX, which consent shall not be withheld if the Parties agree that the issuance of a patent from such application is unlikely.

  (b) perform such filings and take such actions as it deems necessary and at its sole cost.

If the requesting Party elects not to refer the matter to arbitration, the other Party shall, at the sole cost of the requesting Party:

 

  (c) cooperate with the requesting Party to perform such filings and take such actions as may be required by the requesting Party if the requesting Party does not have standing to perform such filings and take such actions; or

41

  8.5.2 The Notice of Abandonment to be given by the Abandoning Party pursuant to Section 8.5.1 shall clearly identify the patent applications, patent protection, and/or patent maintenance for the Patents to be abandoned.

 

  8.5.3 Each of the Parties agrees that notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, effective upon the date of the Non-Abandoning Party’s receipt of the Notice of Abandonment, the Abandoning Party shall lose all rights under:

 

  (a) the patent(s) and patent application(s) to which such Party’s Notice of Abandonment applies; and

  (a) one or more of the Licensed Patents, this license shall be terminated with respect solely to such Discontinued Patent(s), and Hana shall forfeit the right to any and all uses of the Discontinued Patent(s) and Technology claimed in such Discontinued Patent(s). Exhibits 1.1.54 and 1.1.103 will be deemed to be amended to exclude such Discontinued Patent and Technology claimed in such Discontinued Patent from the grant of license contained herein

43

  8.6.2 Subject to Section 8.6.1, and notwithstanding any termination of the Service Agreement, for as long as INEX continues to perform at Hana’s request, the activities required for intellectual property portfolio management and all associated activities including, without limitation, patent application, filing, prosecution and maintenance, and payment of all government and legal fees required to apply for, prosecute and maintain the Patents described in Section 8.2.1 (the “IP Services”), Hana, its successors, assigns or any Person(s) who acquires any interest in any of the Patents and Technology will jointly and severally be responsible for paying INEX:

 

  (a) [*] of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including, without limitation, filing fees, fees for external counsel(s), patent agent(s), contractors, travel, and lodging expenses incurred by INEX to provide IP Services; and

 

  (b) [*] of the personnel costs incurred by INEX, calculated at INEX’s FTE Rate, pro rated to reflect the actual time employees, contractors or consultants of INEX spend providing IP Services; provided however, that on each anniversary of the Effective Date of the Definitive Agreements, the FTE Rate shall be adjusted by a percentage equal to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (All Items) for the province of British Columbia for the twelve (12) month period ending with December of the calendar year immediately preceding such anniversary date; and

Article 9 INFRINGEMENT PROCEEDINGS

 

9.1 Limits

Except as expressly set out in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as:

 

  9.1.1 an obligation by Hana or INEX to bring or prosecute or defend actions or suits against Third Parties for infringement of patents, copyrights, trade-marks, industrial designs or other intellectual property or contractual rights; or

 

  9.1.2 the conferring by Hana or INEX of the right to use in advertising or publicity the name of Hana or INEX or their respective trademarks.

 

9.2 Conduct of Infringement Proceedings

Notwithstanding Section 9.1, in the event of:

 

  9.2.1 an alleged infringement by a Third Party of the Patents or Technology or of any right with respect to the Patents or Technology by the manufacture, sale, services or use of products derived from the Patents or Technology in the Hana Field; or

 

  9.2.2 any complaint by Hana alleging any infringement by a Third Party with respect to the Patents or Technology or to any right with respect to the Patents or Technology by the manufacture, sale, service or use of products derived from the Patents or Technology in the Hana Field;

the following shall apply:

 

  9.2.3 Hana shall have the first right, in its sole discretion, and at its sole expense, to prosecute or defend such litigation;

 

  45   *Confidential Treatment Requested.

  9.2.4 if Hana does not take steps to prosecute or defend such litigation within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof, INEX may take such legally permissible action as it deems necessary or appropriate to prosecute such litigation or defend such litigation at its own expense, but shall not be obligated to do so;

 

  9.2.5 the Party prosecuting or defending such litigation (in this Article, the “Litigating Party”) shall have the right to control such litigation and shall bear all legal expenses (including court costs and legal fees), including settlement thereof provided however that no settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any suit defended or action brought by a Party pursuant to this Section 9.2 may be entered into without the consent of the other Party if such settlement would require the other Party to be subject to an injunction or to make a monetary payment or would restrict the claims in or admit any invalidity of any Patents or significantly adversely affect the rights of the other Party to this Agreement (the “Non-litigating Party”). By way of example and not by way of limitation, there shall be no right of the Litigating Party to stipulate or admit to the invalidity or unenforceability of any Patents. Before any action is taken by the Litigating Party which could abridge the rights of the Non-litigating Party hereunder, the Parties agree to, in good faith, consult with a goal of adopting a mutually satisfactory position;

 

  9.2.6 the Non-litigating Party agrees to co-operate reasonably in any such litigation to the extent of executing all necessary documents, supplying essential documentary evidence and making essential witnesses then in its employment available and to vest in the Litigating Party the right to institute any such suits, so long as all the direct or indirect costs and expenses of bringing and conducting any such litigation or settlement shall be borne by the Litigating Party, provided that INEX and Hana shall recover their respective actual out-of-pocket expenses, or equitable proportions thereof, associated with any litigation or settlement thereof from any recovery made by any Party. Any excess amount remaining after satisfaction of the Parties’ recovery of their respective actual out-of-pocket expenses, or equitable proportions thereof, associated with any litigation or settlement thereof from any recovery made by any Party (the “Excess Amount”) shall be shared between Hana and INEX on the same basis as set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 with respect to Royalties from Net Sales of Product in the applicable jurisdiction; provided however, that any Excess Amount in the form of punitive Damages shall be shared between Hana and INEX in proportion to each Party’s contribution to litigation expenses. In the event a settlement or consent judgement does not distinguish between the forms of Damages payable by the Third Party, and Hana and INEX cannot agree on what portion, if any, of the Excess Amount constitutes punitive Damages, the Parties will refer the matter to arbitration in accordance with Article 13;

 

  9.2.7 the Litigating Party shall keep the Non-litigating Party fully informed of the actions and positions taken or proposed to be taken by the Litigating Party on behalf of itself or a licensee or sublicense (including Licensee or Sublicensee) and actions and positions taken by all other parties to such litigation; and

 

  9.2.8 in the event that INEX prosecutes or defends such litigation, Hana may elect to participate formally in the litigation to the extent that the court may permit, but any additional expenses generated by such formal participation shall be paid by Hana (subject to the possibility of recovery of some or all of such additional expenses as described in Section 9.2.6 or from such other parties to the litigation).

 

46

9.3 Breach of Confidence Proceedings

In the event of an alleged breach of confidentiality respecting Confidential Information or any Third Party use of Confidential Information, Hana and INEX agree that they shall reasonably cooperate to enjoin such Third Party’s use of such Confidential Information, and take such other action as a Party with regard to its own Confidential Information may deem appropriate, at law or in equity.

 

9.4 Defense of Infringement Proceedings

 

  9.4.1 If any complaint alleging infringement or violation of any patent or other proprietary rights is made against Hana, its Affiliate, Licensee or Sublicensee with respect to the Manufacture, use or sale of a Product, the following shall apply:

 

  (a) Hana shall promptly notify INEX in writing upon receipt of any such complaint setting out full details thereof and shall keep INEX fully informed of the actions and positions taken by the complainant and taken or proposed to be taken by Hana (on behalf of itself, a Licensee or a Sublicensee);

 

  (b) if such complaint gives rise to an indemnification obligation under any of the Definitive Agreements in favor of Hana (or its Affiliate or Licensee or Sublicensee) on the part of INEX, then INEX shall defend such suit and all costs and expenses incurred by Hana (or any Affiliate or Licensee or Sublicensee) in investigating, resisting, litigating and settling such a complaint, including the payment of any award of Damages and/or costs to any Third Party, shall be paid by INEX;

 

  (c) if such complaint does not give rise to an indemnification obligation under the Definitive Agreements in favor of Hana on the part of INEX, then Hana shall have the right but not the obligation to defend such suit and all costs and expenses incurred by Hana (or any Affiliate or Licensee or Sublicensee) in investigating, resisting, litigating and settling such a complaint, including the payment of any award of Damages and/or costs to any Third Party, shall be paid by Hana (or any Affiliate or Licensee or Sublicensee, as the case may be); and

 

  (d) in any event, INEX and Hana shall assist one another and cooperate in any such litigation at each Party’s own expense.

 

  9.4.2 If any complaint alleging infringement or violation of any patent or other proprietary rights is made against INEX, its Affiliate, licensee or sublicensee with respect to the Manufacture, use or sale of a Product, the following procedure shall apply:

 

  (a) INEX shall promptly notify Hana in writing upon receipt of any such complaint setting out full details thereof and shall keep Hana fully informed of the actions and positions taken by the complainant and taken or proposed to be taken by INEX;

 

  (b) if such a complaint gives rise to an indemnification obligation under the Definitive Agreements in favor of INEX on the part of Hana, then Hana shall defend such suit and all costs and expenses incurred by INEX (or its Affiliate) in investigating, resisting, litigating and settling such a complaint, including the payment of any award of Damages and/or costs to any Third Party, shall be paid by Hana;

 

47

  (c) if such complaint does not give rise to an indemnification obligation under the Definitive Agreements in favor of INEX on the part of Hana, then INEX shall have the right but not the obligation to defend such suit and all costs and expenses incurred by INEX (or its Affiliate) in investigating, resisting, litigating and settling such a compliant, including the payment of any award of Damages and/or costs to any Third Party, shall be paid by INEX;

 

  (d) in any event, INEX and Hana shall assist one another and cooperate in any such litigation at each Party’s own expense.

 

  9.4.3 With regard to costs and expenses incurred by Hana (or any Licensee or Sublicensee) under Sections 9.4.1(c) or 9.4.2(b) in investigating, resisting, litigating and settling such a complaint, including the payment of any award of Damages and/or costs to any Third Party (the “Offset Amount”), but not including any punitive award (the “Punitive Amount”), Hana (or any Licensee or Sublicensee) shall be entitled to offset or credit [*] of the Offset Amount against future payments otherwise due INEX as set forth in Section 3.7.1. With regard to any Punitive Amount (eg. willful infringement), the same is not included in the Offset Amount and is not to be offset or credited against future payments due INEX.

 

  9.4.4 In the event a complaint is made under either of Sections 9.4.1 or 9.4.2, no settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition may be entered into without the consent of the other Party if such settlement would require the other Party to be subject to an injunction or to make a monetary payment or would restrict the claims in or admit any invalidity of any Patents or significantly adversely affect the rights of the other Party.

 

9.5 Co-operation with Other Licensees

Hana acknowledges that INEX may grant rights to its other sublicensees in respect of fields outside of the Hana Field similar to those granted to Hana under Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and this Section 9.5. If INEX grants such rights to its other sublicensees, in the event of any litigation in respect of:

 

  9.5.1 fields outside of the Hana Field that may reasonably affect Hana’s use of the Patents or Technology in the Hana Field or the Manufacture, use or sale of Product by Hana; or

 

  9.5.2 the Hana Field that may reasonably affect INEX or one or more of INEX’s sublicensee’s use of the Patents or Technology outside the Hana Field or the manufacture, use or sale of products outside the Hana Field by INEX or one or more other such sublicensee(s);

then INEX, Hana and such other sublicensees will use good faith efforts to determine jointly the course of action, if any, necessary or appropriate to prosecute or defend the litigation. INEX will use reasonable efforts to include in its sublicense agreements, provisions that allow the participation of Hana as contemplated herein.

 

  48   *Confidential Treatment Requested.

2. TEKMIRA DEVELOPMENT TARGETS.

2.1 Tekmira Development Targets. During the Selection Term, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Alnylam’s right to grant rights thereto at the time of selection, Tekmira may select up to three (3) Targets with respect to which Tekmira shall Research, Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize RNAi Products directed to such Target under its license to the Alnylam Core Patent Rights and Alnylam Lipidoid Patent Rights pursuant to Section 6.1.2(a) (each such Target, a “Tekmira Development Target”, and each such RNAi Product, a “Tekmira Development Product”). For clarity, the Parties acknowledge that the three (3) Tekmira Development Targets shall be in addition to the PLK Target and the three Protiva Development Targets that are among the subjects of the Protiva License Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that the selection of each Tekmira Development Target is subject to Novartis’ right of first offer under the Novartis Agreement and to other Alnylam obligations to Third Parties.

2.2 Selection Process. The following process shall apply to the selection of Tekmira Development Targets. Tekmira shall initially notify Alnylam in writing of the NCBI Gene ID number

 

Confidential    19   

(or, if a NCBI Gene ID number is not available, the specific sequence of the proposed Target) of each Target nominated by Tekmira for selection as a Tekmira Development Target. Prior to nominating a Target to Alnylam, Tekmira shall possess bona fide data regarding the validation of such Target for potential therapeutic modulation by siRNAs. Within [*] following Alnylam’s receipt of a notice nominating a Target, Alnylam shall notify Tekmira in writing (a “Target Response Notice”) whether such Target is either: (a) subject to a contractual obligation to a Third Party that would be breached by the inclusion of such Target as a Tekmira Development Target under this Agreement, or (b) determined by Alnylam after its review in good faith of its ongoing or planned scientific and/or business activities and strategy to be a Target of interest to Alnylam. If neither of these criteria apply, the Target shall be considered to have been successfully nominated as a Tekmira Development Target. Alnylam shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts consistent with the terms of the Novartis Agreement to obtain Novartis’ consent to the selection by Tekmira of such Target as a Tekmira Development Target under this Agreement, and shall notify Tekmira in writing as to whether or not such Target is available for license hereunder. If a Target submitted to Alnylam is not so available for license as a Tekmira Development Target, then Tekmira may nominate an additional Target as a Tekmira Development Target, until an aggregate of three (3) Tekmira Development Targets have been identified and approved for selection pursuant to the foregoing procedure; provided, that Tekmira may not submit more than three (3) proposed Targets (in addition to any Protiva Development Targets or candidate Protiva Development Targets submitted under the Protiva License Agreement) to Alnylam for evaluation pursuant to the foregoing procedure in any single Calendar Quarter. Any Target approved for selection pursuant to the foregoing procedure shall be a Tekmira Development Target. If upon the expiration of the Selection Term all three (3) Tekmira Development Targets have not been approved for selection pursuant to the foregoing procedure, then the Selection Term shall be extended until the earlier of (i) the date on which an aggregate of three (3) Tekmira Development Targets have been so identified and approved for selection and (ii) the [*] anniversary of the Original Effective Date. For clarity, notwithstanding the number of Targets evaluated by Alnylam for availability for selection as a Tekmira Development Target, Tekmira shall not be entitled to more than three (3) Tekmira Development Targets.

The JRC shall consist of two (2) representatives of each Party, together with such other personnel of a Party as such Party deems reasonably necessary to accomplish the objectives of this Agreement. Each Party shall also designate a “Project Manager”. The Project Managers will be responsible for the day-to-day coordination of the Collaboration and the Manufacturing Activities, and will serve to facilitate communication between the Parties. Each Party may change its designated Project Manager from time to time upon written notice to the other Party. The JRC shall be empowered to create subcommittees of itself, including without limitation, a committee to oversee Manufacturing Activities (the “Manufacturing Activities Committee”), as it may deem appropriate or necessary. The Manufacturing Activities Committee shall consist of representatives of the Parties’ manufacturing and quality assurance departments. Each such subcommittee shall report to the JRC, which shall have the authority to approve or reject recommendations or actions proposed thereby subject to the terms of this Article 4.

4.2 Meetings. The JRC shall meet in accordance with schedules established by mutual written agreement of the Parties, but no less frequently than once per Contract Quarter during the Collaboration Term, with the location for such meetings alternating between Alnylam and Tekmira facilities (or such other locations as are determined by the JRC). Alternatively, the JRC may meet by means of teleconference, videoconference or other similar communications equipment, but at least two (2) meetings per Calendar Year shall be conducted in person. Each Party shall bear its own expenses relating to attendance at such meetings by its representatives. With respect to decisions of the JRC, the representatives of each Party shall have collectively one vote on behalf of such Party. For each meeting of the JRC, at least one (1) representative of each Party shall constitute a quorum. Action on any matter may be taken at a meeting, by teleconference, videoconference or by written agreement.

If the JRC is unable to reach a consensus

 

Confidential    25    * Confidential Treatment Requested.

with respect to a dispute, then the dispute shall be submitted to escalating levels of Tekmira and Alnylam senior management for review. If such dispute cannot be resolved despite escalation, then the Chief Executive Officers of Alnylam and Tekmira shall attempt to resolve such dispute. In the event that the Chief Executive Officers cannot reach an agreement regarding such dispute within thirty (30) days after submission to them for resolution, then:

(a) If the dispute is one over which the JRC has authority pursuant to Section 4.1, then Alnylam shall have final decision-making authority; provided, however, that Alnylam may not, without Tekmira’s consent, increase Tekmira’s obligation during the Collaboration Term to provide FTEs to perform its obligations under the Collaboration in excess of [*] FTEs per Contract Year of the Collaboration Term; and

(b) With respect to all other disputes between the Parties, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 12.6 shall apply.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the dispute between the Parties is over the reasonable comparability of the factors described in Section 5.1(a)(ii) and the Manufacturing Activities Committee cannot agree within five (5) Business Days after submission of the bona fide Third Party quote to the Manufacturing Activities Committee, then the Parties shall not refer the matter to the JRC but rather to an independent Third Party manufacturing consultant reasonably acceptable to the Parties and the Parties shall cause such independent Third Party to render his/her decision as soon as possible but no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after submission, which decision shall be binding on the Parties.

 

5. MANUFACTURING

5.1 Manufacturing and Supply.

(a) Exclusive Manufacturing Obligations. Alnylam hereby retains Tekmira, on a product-by-product basis, as Alnylam’s exclusive manufacturer to Manufacture and supply Alnylam’s requirements of the bulk finished dosage form of each Alnylam Royalty Product formulated using Tekmira Technology, and/or Alnylam Technology, including, without limitation, the Third Party Liposome Patent Rights, in each case for toxicology and other non-clinical studies and clinical development, through the completion of all Phase II Studies of such Alnylam Royalty Product that are initiated prior to the initiation of the first Phase III Study of such Alnylam Royalty Product; provided, however, that such exclusive supply engagement shall only apply during the Manufacturing Term and shall not apply to any Alnylam Royalty Product (on a product-by-product basis):

(i) that Tekmira cannot or will not Manufacture and supply (or is not or will not be able to Manufacture and supply), to Alnylam’s reasonable satisfaction, (x) at the requisite scale, in sufficient quantities, within requisite timelines based on Alnylam’s actual and/or planned development program for such Alnylam Royalty Product and in accordance with the applicable product master batch record, specifications and other quality requirements for such Alnylam Royalty Product as set forth in the Supply Agreement and the applicable Quality Agreement, (y) in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation the requirements of cGMP, and (z) using a facility with respect to which Tekmira or its permitted subcontractor has obtained approval from the applicable Regulatory Authorities to Manufacture and supply such Alnylam Royalty Product; or

 

Confidential    26    * Confidential Treatment Requested.

(ii) with respect to which Alnylam would be required to pay Tekmira an amount per batch of the bulk finished dosage form of such Alnylam Royalty Product that is [*] greater than the cost per batch for the Manufacture of such finished dosage form as quoted in a bona fide offer received by Alnylam from a Third Party; provided, that the specifications for such finished dosage form, and the batch size, quantity, and quality of product would be at least reasonably comparable. In the event that Alnylam would be entitled under this clause (ii) to obtain its requirements of the finished dosage form of an Alnylam Royalty Product from a Third Party, then prior to Alnylam engaging such Third Party for such services Tekmira may submit a revised per batch price quote for such finished dosage form and if Tekmira’s revised per batch price quote is [*] Third Party’s quote, Alnylam shall continue to obtain its supply of such finished dosage form from Tekmira in accordance with this Article 5.

Moreover, Alnylam may obtain supply of the bulk finished dosage form of any Alnylam Royalty Product from a Third Party in such amounts as may be required in order to qualify and maintain such Third Party as a “backup” supplier as part of Alnylam’s prudent supply chain management policies; provided, however, that so long as Tekmira is able to comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 5.1(a), Tekmira shall continue to be Alnylam’s primary supplier. For purposes of determining whether Tekmira is able to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.1(a), the capabilities of Tekmira and its wholly-owned subsidiary Protiva, acting either together or separately, shall be taken into account, and Protiva acting separately will not be considered unable to comply with such requirements solely due to any refusal of Alnylam to approve subcontracting to Protiva pursuant to Section 5.3(b), whether or not such refusal is reasonable.

(b) Alternate Supplier. Tekmira shall, upon Alnylam’s written request provided to Tekmira at any time after (i) the Effective Date, identify and reasonably verify the suitability of a Third Party as a “backup” supplier of Alnylam Royalty Products as soon as reasonably possible and/or (ii) [*], establish and qualify a Third Party as a “backup” supplier of Alnylam Royalty Products as soon a reasonably possible, but in no event more than twelve (12) months after receipt of such request; provided, however, that the JRC may agree to extend such time periods. Alnylam shall have the right to propose such “backup” supplier(s) and Tekmira shall have the right to consent to such “backup” supplier(s), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date Tekmira will deliver to the JRC, for review and approval, an update to the Manufacturing Plan containing a project overview for establishing and qualifying a “backup” supplier. This project overview will include contract manufacturing organization targets, timelines, equipment requirements, and both FTE and out-of-pocket expense estimates. The qualification of a “backup” supplier is not intended in any way to alter Tekmira’s rights to Manufacture Alnylam Royalty Products under this Agreement. All internal FTE costs and extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Tekmira in, and reasonably required, to qualify a “backup” supplier as set forth in this Section 5.1(b) shall be reimbursed by Alnylam (in the case of FTE costs, at the applicable FTE Rate and not to exceed the project overview estimate without the prior approval of the JRC). Tekmira acknowledges and agrees that the FTE Rate reflects Tekmira’s fully-loaded costs and expenses in performing its obligations under the project overview portion of the Manufacturing Plan, and that Tekmira is solely responsible for its costs and expenses in performing its obligations thereunder. However, Alnylam agrees to reimburse Tekmira for any extraordinary out-of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tekmira in performing its obligations under this Section 5.1(b) to the extent that such out-of pocket costs and expenses are approved by the JRC in advance in writing and are reasonable, documented costs and expenses actually and directly incurred by Tekmira.

6.9 Alnylam Rights Relating to Tekmira IOC Technology and IOC Products.

(a) IOC Technology. Until the expiration of the last Valid Claim of the Alnylam IOC Patent Rights, Alnylam may, upon written notice to Tekmira (an “FTO Notice”), elect to take from Tekmira, and Tekmira will grant to Alnylam, a worldwide, royalty-bearing, non-exclusive license (with no rights to sublicense) to the Tekmira IOC Technology to Research, Develop and Commercialize IOC Products (a “Platform License”). For clarity, such Platform License will not grant Alnylam any rights to Tekmira IOC Technology Covering only a specific Tekmira IOC Product or particular uses of such IOC Product, and is intended to provide Alnylam with “freedom to operate” under the Tekmira IOC Technology to Research, Develop and/or Commercialize IOC Products Controlled by Alnylam. Upon Tekmira’s receipt of such FTO Notice from Alnylam, the Parties shall promptly commence good faith negotiations for a period of up [*] in an effort to reach a mutually acceptable definitive agreement for such Platform License that is consistent with the terms of this Section 6.9(a) and contains other customary and reasonable terms mutually agreeable to the Parties.

(i) Whether or not Alnylam has previously provided an FTO Notice, Tekmira will provide Alnylam with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before entering into any agreement with a Third Party with respect to a Platform License. Such notice will include a description of the financial terms of such proposed Platform License sufficient to permit Alnylam to understand and evaluate such terms.

(ii) If Tekmira offers a Platform License to a Third Party or a Third Party offers to obtain a Platform License at any time during the first five (5) years after Alnylam has provided an FTO Notice, and the terms of such Platform License offer, taken as a whole, are the same as, or more favorable to such Third Party than (x) the terms of the Parties’ definitive agreement for a Platform License, or (y) if the Parties have not yet entered into a definitive agreement for a Platform License, the last proposal for a Platform License made in the course of the Parties’ negotiations pursuant to this Section 6.9(a) (in either case of (x) or (y), “More Favorable Terms”), then upon written notice from Alnylam, either (A) the Parties will amend the Parties’ definitive agreement for a Platform License to match or improve upon the More Favorable Terms; or (B) the Parties will promptly conclude a definitive agreement for a Platform License on substantially similar terms as the More Favorable Terms.

(b) IOC Products. Prior to the expiration of the last Valid Claim of the Alnylam IOC Patent Rights, Tekmira shall notify Alnylam in writing (a “Product Notice”) prior to entering into bona fide negotiations with a Third Party for the rights to Research, Develop and/or Commercialize any IOC Product Controlled by Tekmira (an “Tekmira IOC Product”). Such Product Notice shall include material information relating to such Tekmira IOC Product that Alnylam may reasonably require in order for Alnylam to evaluate and determine its interest in such Tekmira IOC Product.

 

 

Confidential    35    * Confidential Treatment Requested.

(i) If Tekmira issues the Product Notice prior to the acceptance of a bona fide IND filing by a Regulatory Authority in the United States or one of the Major Markets for the applicable Tekmira IOC Product, then Alnylam shall have forty-five (45) days after receipt of such Product Notice (the “Opportunity Response Period”) to notify Tekmira in writing of its interest in such Tekmira IOC Product. If Alnylam notifies Tekmira in writing within the Opportunity Response Period that it is interested in such Tekmira IOC Product, then the Parties shall promptly commence good faith negotiations (in Tekmira’s case on an exclusive basis) for a period of up to ninety (90) days after Alnylam receives the Product Notice in an effort to conclude a mutually acceptable definitive agreement for the exclusive rights to Research, Develop and Commercialize such Tekmira IOC Product (“Product License”). The royalties payable to Tekmira in respect of such Tekmira IOC Product contained in such definitive agreement will be equal to the royalties and milestones payable with respect to an IOC Product under this Agreement; provided, however that Tekmira shall not be required to reimburse Alnylam for any royalties or milestones payable by Alnylam in respect of such Tekmira IOC Product under any Third Party agreements pursuant to which Alnylam Controls the Alnylam IOC Technology licensed to Tekmira under this Agreement that Cover such Tekmira IOC Product, and the agreement will otherwise contain reasonable and customary terms that are consistent with the terms of this Section 6.9(b); provided, however, that the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations to agree upon ancillary financial provisions to compensate Tekmira for its prior reasonable Research and Development expenditures solely in connection with such Tekmira IOC Product, which expenditures shall be based on the properly allocated costs and expenses directly incurred by Tekmira for the Research, Development and/or Manufacture of such Tekmira IOC Product through and including the Opportunity Response Period, which costs shall include all reasonable and properly allocated internal costs (determined in accordance with the then-current Tekmira FTE Rate) for the FTEs directly performing Research, Development and Manufacturing activities with respect to such Tekmira IOC Product during such period and the reasonable, direct out-of-pocket expenses actually paid by Tekmira in its performance of the Research, Development and/or Manufacture of such Tekmira IOC Product. If Tekmira issues the Product Notice after the acceptance of a bona fide IND filing by a Regulatory Authority in the United States or one of the Major Markets for the applicable Tekmira IOC Product, then Alnylam shall have ninety (90) days after receipt of such Product Notice (the “Post-IND Opportunity Response Period”) to notify Tekmira in writing of its interest in such Tekmira IOC Product. If Alnylam notifies Tekmira in writing within the Post-IND Opportunity Response Period that it is interested in such Tekmira IOC Product, then the Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to negotiate and execute a definitive agreement for the Product reasonable and customary terms mutually agreeable to the Parties, including appropriate financial consideration after taking into account the maturity of Tekmira’s Research, Development and Commercialization activities through and including the Opportunity Response Period. If (x) Alnylam notifies Tekmira that it is not interested in obtaining a Product License with respect to such Tekmira IOC Product, (y) Alnylam does not notify Tekmira in writing within the Opportunity Response Period that it is interested in such Tekmira IOC Product, or (z) despite each Party’s good faith efforts, Alnylam and Tekmira are not able to reach agreement on and execute a definitive agreement for a Product License within such one hundred and twenty (120) day period, then Tekmira may enter into negotiations with any Third Party for such Tekmira IOC Product.

(ii) If (x) at any time prior to the expiration of the last Valid Claim of the Alnylam IOC Patent Rights Tekmira offers to a Third Party or a Third Party offers to obtain rights to Research, Develop and/or Commercialize a Tekmira IOC Product that has been the subject of a Product Notice and with respect to which Alnylam does not have a Product License, and (y) the terms of such Third Party Product License offer, taken as a whole, are the same as, or more favorable to the Third Party than the last Product License offer with respect to such Tekmira IOC Product made by a Party to the other in the course of the Parties’ negotiations pursuant to this Section 6.9(b), then prior to executing any agreement with such Third Party (A) Tekmira will provide to Alnylam a description of the terms of such Third Party Product License offer sufficient to permit Alnylam to evaluate such offer terms, and (B) Alnylam will have thirty (30) days to evaluate such offer and determine if Alnylam wishes to enter into a Product License agreement with Tekmira for such Tekmira IOC Product on terms that are substantially similar to those offered to or by such Third Party. If Alnylam elects to enter into an agreement with Tekmira in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then the Parties will promptly conclude an agreement on substantially similar terms to the Third Party Product License offer. If Alnylam does not notify Tekmira in writing within such thirty (30) day period that it is interested in concluding a Product License agreement for such Tekmira IOC Product, then Tekmira may conclude an agreement with a Third Party for such Tekmira IOC Product on terms that are, taken as a whole, not more favorable to such Third Party than the terms presented to Alnylam pursuant to this Section 6.9(b).

7.2 Milestone Fees Payable by Alnylam.

(a) As partial consideration for the grant by Tekmira to Alnylam of the licenses and other rights hereunder, Alnylam shall make the milestone payments to Tekmira set forth below no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the earliest date on which the corresponding milestone event has been achieved with respect to each Alnylam Royalty Product (other than an Alnylam Royalty Product directed to a Biodefense Target) to achieve such milestone event:

In the event one or more milestone events set out above are skipped for any reason, the payment for such skipped milestone event(s) will be due at the same time as the payment for the next achieved milestone event.

(b) If, however, an Alnylam Royalty Product is directed to a Biodefense Target, in lieu of the milestone payments set forth in Section 7.2(a), the following milestone payments shall be payable no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the later of (i) the earliest date on which the corresponding milestone event has been achieved with respect to such Alnylam Royalty Product, and (ii) receipt by Alnylam of all funding from a Funding Authority that Alnylam is eligible to receive for the achievement of such milestone event with respect to such Alnylam Royalty Product:

In the event one or more milestone events set out above are skipped for any reason, the payment for such skipped milestone event(s) will be due at the same time as the payment for the next achieved milestone event.

(c) Notwithstanding that an Alnylam Royalty Product is directed to a Biodefense Target, if Alnylam or its Related Parties Commercialize or sell such Alnylam Royalty Product other than to a Funding Authority, the milestone payment amounts set forth in Section 7.2(a) shall then apply in lieu of the amounts set forth in Section 7.2(b).

(d) The milestone payments described above shall be payable only once in relation to each Alnylam Royalty Product that achieves Approval in a Major Market (or, in the case of an Alnylam Royalty Product directed to a Biodefense Target, an Alnylam Royalty Product that achieves the First Commercial Sale in a Major Market) (each, a “Successful Product”). Therefore, unless and until there is a Successful Product directed to a particular Alnylam Target, any of the milestone payments made by ALNYLAM under this Section in connection with an Alnylam Royalty Product directed to such Target shall be fully creditable against the repeated achievement of such milestone event by any other Alnylam Royalty Product directed to such Target. However, in the event that there is a Successful Product with respect to an Alnylam Target and Alnylam subsequently begins to Develop or continues to Develop another Alnylam Royalty Product directed to such Target (a “Follow-On Product”), then, if and when any of the milestone events set out above is thereafter achieved for such Follow-On Product, in addition to the milestone payment for such milestone event, there will also be due and payable all of the milestone payment(s) for any such milestones that were achieved for such Follow-On Product prior to the achievement of Approval or First Commercial Sale (as the case may be) in a Major Market of a Successful Product with respect to such Target).

(e) With respect to any Alnylam Development Product that is a Licensed Product (as such terms are defined in the Protiva License Agreement) that also meets the definition of an Alnylam Royalty Product under this Agreement, Alnylam shall not be required to pay milestone fees under both such agreements, but, rather, shall pay only the larger of such milestone fees under such agreements, respectively. Milestone payments shall be made by Alnylam in cash by wire transfer to a bank account of Tekmira pursuant to wire instructions provided by Tekmira to Alnylam in writing in advance.
