(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, on a country-by-country or region-by-region basis, if ** a unit of the Product exceeds an amount equal to ** for such Units Provided in such country or region (the “Base Percent”), the Transfer Price Rate set forth in Section 8.4.1(a) for such Units Provided in such country or region shall be adjusted accordingly: for ** the Base Percent, the Transfer Price Rate set forth in Section 8.4.1(a) shall be increased by **, provided, however, that in no event shall the Transfer Price Rate exceed **.  
(i)By way of one example only, ** for the Product equals ** of the Net Sales for such Product **, the Transfer Price Rate for such Product in such country shall be equal to ** for portions of Net Sales less than or equal to ** for portions of Net Sales greater than **, but less than **, and ** for portions of Net Sales greater than **.  
(ii)By way of another example only, if ** for the Product equals ** of the Net Sales for such Product **, the Transfer Price Rate for such Product ** shall be equal to **regardless of the sales scale.
(c)The Transfer Price Rate in this Section 8.4.1 shall apply to the units of the Products sold for the period during which such Transfer Price Rate(s) applies.  If the Transfer Price for the Product ** for such Product falls below an amount equal to ** for such Product, the Parties shall discuss in good faith a modification in the Transfer Price Rate(s) for such Product **.
8.4.2True Up Transfer Price Payments During the Commercialization Term.  
(a)ANS Calculation.  Within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter, Kissei shall calculate and report to Rigel in writing an estimate of the average per unit Net Sales for the Product in such Calendar Quarter, and within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter, Kissei shall calculate and report to Rigel in writing the actual average per unit Net Sales for the Product in such Calendar Quarter (the “ANS”) **. For ** (i) Kissei shall provide an estimate of ANS within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter, and (ii) Kissei shall use Commercially Reasonable Effort to calculate and report to Rigel in writing the ANS  in such Calendar Quarter within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter but in no event later than ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter. The ANS shall be calculated by dividing the Net Sales for such Calendar Quarter in a country by the number of units of the Product sold by Kissei that constitutes the Net Sales for such period in such country.
(b)True Up Calculation for Units Sold.  Within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter, Kissei shall calculate and report to Rigel in writing the estimated number of units sold of Units Provided, and within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter, Kissei shall calculate and report to Rigel in writing the actual number of units sold of Units Provided in such Calendar Quarter (the “Units Sold”) **. For ** (i) Kissei shall provide an estimate of Units Sold within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter, and (ii) Kissei shall use Commercially Reasonable Effort to calculate and report to Rigel in writing the Units Sold  within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter but in no event later than ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter. The true up calculation for Units Sold (the "True Up on Units Sold") shall be as follows: the ANS multiplied by the Transfer Price Rate less the **, which

27


will all be multiplied by the Units Sold [((ANS) x (Transfer Price Rate) – (**)) x (Units Sold) = True Up on Units Sold]. For clarity, the ** is calculated by **.
(c)True Up Calculation for Units Lost.  Within **after the end of each Calendar Quarter, Kissei shall calculate and report to Rigel in writing the estimated number of units of Units Provided not sold, and within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter, Kissei shall calculate and report to Rigel in writing the actual number of units of Units Provided not sold due to an identified loss in such Calendar Quarter (the “Units Lost”) **. For ** (i) Kissei shall provide an estimate of Units Lost within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter, and (ii) Kissei shall use Commercially Reasonable Effort to calculate and report to Rigel in writing the Units Lost within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter but in no event later than ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter. The true up calculation for Units Lost (the "True Up on Units Lost") shall be as follows: [(the number of Units Lost) x (Transfer Price Per Unit - Cost of Goods Per Unit) = True Up on Units Lost]. The Parties agree that the units of Product with ** shall constitute Units Lost **.
(d)True Up Transfer Price Payment.  The True Up Transfer Price payment amount will be calculated by [(True Up on Units Sold) – (True Up on Units Lost) = True Up Transfer Price payment]. If the amount of the True Up Transfer Price is a positive value, then Kissei will pay Rigel such amount within ** after Kissei receives Rigel’s invoice. If the amount of the True Up Transfer Price is a negative value, then Rigel will credit Kissei such amount against future payments hereunder.
(e)Related Reporting.  In connection with the foregoing subsections (b) and (c), within ** after the end of each Calendar Quarter, Kissei shall provide Rigel with a report that details the lot number of Units Sold and Units Lost **.  Kissei also shall use Commercially Reasonable Effort to provide Rigel with a report that details the lot number of Units Sold and Units Lost ** within **after the end of each Calendar Quarter but in no event later than **. Additionally, Kissei shall promptly provide Rigel with any other reports or information reasonably requested by Rigel.

8.4.3Transfer Price Adjustments.
(a)If one or more Generic Products to a Product is sold in any country in the Kissei Territory for such Product in such country, and such Generic Products ** during such Calendar Quarter, the Transfer Price Rates provided in Section 8.4.1 for such Product shall be reduced in such country by ** for such Calendar Quarter.
(b)If it is necessary for Kissei to obtain a license from a Third Party under any Patent in a particular country in the Kissei Territory in order to sell a Product in such country and Kissei obtains such a license, Kissei may deduct from the Transfer Price that would otherwise have been due pursuant to Section 8.4.1 with respect to Net Sales of such Product in such country in a particular Calendar Quarter an amount equal ** paid by Kissei to such Third Party pursuant to such license on account of the sale of such Product in such country during such Calendar Quarter.  For clarity, **.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any Calendar Quarter in the Commercialization Term for a Product in a country, the operation of subsection (a) and (b) above, individually or in combination, shall not reduce by more than ** the Transfer Price that would otherwise have been due under Section 8.4.1 with respect to Net Sales of such Product in such country during such Calendar Quarter.  Kissei shall not be permitted to carry forward to subsequent Calendar Quarters any amounts it was not able to credit as a result of this subsection (c).
8.4.4Transfer Price During the Extended Commercialization Term.  In consideration for the Product provided by Rigel to Kissei for Commercial use, Kissei shall pay to Rigel a Transfer Price equal to ** for such Product ** for all the Product manufactured for sale by or on behalf of Kissei or its Affiliates or Sublicensees during the Extended Commercialization Term.  For clarity, Kissei shall have the right to obtain other source(s) of supply for Olutasidenib and the Product and to conclude a contract with Rigel’s manufacturers directly after the Commercialization Term.

Kissei shall not have the right to undertake any Development activities for the Product prior to delivering a Development Activities Notice to Rigel.  For a period of ** following delivery of such Development Activities Notice (such time period, the “Development Milestone Negotiation Period”), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith Development milestone events and Development milestone payments (such payments, “Additional Development Milestone Payments”) that would be payable to Rigel with respect to such Development activities in such Development Activities Country. If the Parties do not agree upon the Additional Development Milestone Payments for the applicable Development Activities Country prior to the expiration of the applicable Development Milestone Negotiation Period, then Kissei shall not undertake any Development activities for the Product in the Development Activities Country. For the avoidance of doubt, in case that Kissei’s Sublicensee undertake the Development activities in the Development Activities Country, the provision of Section 8.6 shall apply instead of this Section 8.5.1.
8.5.2Commercial Milestone Payments. If Kissei intends on Commercializing Product in either of Taiwan or Korea (such country or region, the “Commercial Activities Country”) by or on behalf of Kissei or its Affiliates, Kissei shall deliver written notice of such anticipated Commercialization activities prior to undertaking such Commercialization activities in such country (such notice, the “Commercial Activities Notice”).  Kissei shall not have the right to undertake any Commercialization activities for the Product prior to delivering a Commercial Activities Notice to Rigel.  For a period of ** following delivery of such Commercial Activities Notice (such time period, the “Commercial Milestone Negotiation Period”), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith Commercialization milestone events and Commercialization milestone payments (such payments, “Additional Commercial Milestone Payments”) that would be payable to Rigel with respect to such Commercialization activities in such Commercial Activities Country.

29


inspected during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept by an independent certified public accountant (the “Auditor”) selected by the auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the audited Party for the sole purpose of verifying for the auditing Party the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the audited Party pursuant to this Agreement or of any payments made, or required to be made, by or to the audited Party pursuant to this Agreement.  Before beginning its audit, the Auditor shall execute an undertaking acceptable to each Party by which the Auditor agrees to keep confidential all information reviewed during the audit.  Such audits may occur no more often than ** each Calendar Year and not more frequently than ** with respect to records covering any specific period of time.  Each Party shall only be entitled to audit the books and records from the ** prior to the Calendar Year in which the audit request is made.  Such auditor shall not disclose the audited Party’s Confidential Information to the auditing Party, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the audited Party or the amount of payments to or by the audited Party under this Agreement.  In the event that the final result of the inspection reveals an undisputed underpayment or overpayment, the underpaid or overpaid amount shall be settled within ** after the Auditor’s report.  The auditing Party shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an overpayment to, or an underpayment by, the audited Party that resulted from a discrepancy in the financial report provided by the audited Party for the audited period, which underpayment or overpayment was more than ** of the amount set forth in such report, in which case the audited Party shall reimburse the auditing Party for the costs for such audit.  
8.9Exchange Rate; Manner and Place of Payment.  All references to dollars and “$” herein shall refer to U.S. dollars.  All payments hereunder shall be payable in U.S. dollars.  When conversion of Net Sales from any currency other than U.S. dollars is required, such conversion shall be at the exchange rate equal to the conversion rate for the U.S. dollar for the currency of the country in which the applicable Net Sales were made as published by **.  All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by Rigel, unless otherwise specified in writing by Rigel.  
8.10Late Payments.  In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not paid when due in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the payment shall accrue interest from the date due **; provided, however, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate.  The payment of such interest shall not limit the Party entitled to receive payment from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.  
8.11Blocked Payments.  If, by reason of Laws in any jurisdiction in the Kissei Territory, it becomes impossible or illegal for Kissei to transfer milestone payments, royalties or other payments under this Agreement to Rigel, Kissei shall promptly notify Rigel.  During any such period described above, Kissei shall deposit such payments in local currency in the relevant jurisdiction to the credit of Rigel in a recognized banking institution designated by Rigel or, if none is designated by Rigel within a period of **, in a recognized banking institution selected by Kissei and identified in a written notice given to Rigel.
8.12Taxes.
8.12.1Taxes on Income.  Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the activities of the Parties under this Agreement.  
8.12.2Tax Cooperation.  The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of the milestone payments, Transfer Price payments, and other payments made by Kissei to Rigel under this Agreement.  To the extent that Kissei is required by Applicable Laws to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to Rigel, Kissei shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Rigel an official tax certificate or other evidence of such payment sufficient to enable Rigel to claim such payment of taxes.  Rigel shall provide Kissei any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Kissei to not withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty, to the extent legally able to do so.  Rigel shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to Kissei in advance of the due date.  Kissei shall provide Rigel with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of Rigel.  Kissei shall have the right to deduct any such tax, levy, or charge actually paid from payment due to Rigel.  Each Party agrees to assist the other Party in claiming exemption from such deductions or withholdings under double taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force and in minimizing the amount required to be so withheld or deducted.

30


8.12.3Taxes Resulting from Kissei’s Action.  If a Party takes any action of its own discretion (not required by a Regulatory Authority), including any assignment, sublicense, change of place of incorporation, or failure to comply with Applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements, which results in a withholding or deduction obligation (“Withholding Tax Action”), then such Party shall pay the sum associated with such Withholding Tax Action.  For clarity, if Kissei undertakes a Withholding Tax Action, then the sum payable by Kissei (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that Rigel receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such Withholding Tax Action occurred.  Otherwise, the sum payable by Kissei (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be made to Rigel after deduction of the amount required to be so withheld or deducted.  If a change in Applicable Laws results in a withholding or deduction obligation absent either Party taking a Withholding Tax Action, then the amount of such withholding or deduction obligation shall be paid by Kissei to the applicable Governmental Authority on behalf of Rigel, provided that Kissei shall use reasonable efforts to assist Rigel in minimizing or recovering such withholding or deduction obligation.  The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to invoke the application of any applicable bilateral income tax treaty that would reduce or eliminate otherwise applicable taxes with respect to payments payable pursuant to this Agreement.
8.13Payment of Back Royalties.  If Kissei would owe a royalty payment to Rigel under this Section 8.13 but for a decision by a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction holding a patent claim unenforceable, unpatentable or invalid and if such decision is later vacated or reversed by a final nonappealable decision by a court or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction such that such claim qualifies as a Valid Claim that Covers the Product in the Kissei Territory, Rigel may invoice Kissei for such unpaid royalty payments after such decision is vacated or reversed and Kissei shall make any such unpaid royalty payments to Rigel within ** after receipt of such invoice, provided Kissei shall have the right to deduct any and all costs and expenses incurred by Kissei in connection with defending such Valid Claim.

(b)In the event that Rigel desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any Rigel Patent or Joint Patent in any country in the Kissei Territory, Rigel shall provide reasonable prior written notice to Kissei of such intention to abandon (which notice shall, to the extent possible, be given no later than ** prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to any such Rigel Patent or Joint Patent in the relevant patent office).  In such case, upon Kissei’s written election provided no later than ** after such notice from Rigel, Kissei shall have the right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such Rigel Patent or Joint Patent at Kissei’s expense, and any claim included in such Rigel Patent or Joint Patent shall cease to be a Valid Claim under this Agreement.  If Kissei does not provide such election within ** after such notice from Rigel, Rigel may, in its sole discretion, continue prosecution and maintenance of such Rigel Patent or Joint Patent or discontinue prosecution and maintenance of such Rigel Patent or Joint Patent.
(c)Rigel shall update Schedule 10.3.1 on ** basis during the Commercialization Term.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to ** during the Term, Kissei shall have the right to ** the update **.  If Rigel ** but shall also ** under this Agreement, provided that, for clarity, in the event ** under this Agreement.

9.2.2Kissei Patents.  
(a)Subject to this Section 9.2.2, Kissei shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to control the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance (including any interferences, reissue proceedings, reexaminations, patent term extensions, applications for supplementary protection certificates, oppositions, invalidation proceedings, and defense of validity or enforceability challenges) of all Kissei Patents worldwide, ** by counsel of its own choice in the Kissei Territory and by counsel mutually agreed to by the Parties in the Rigel Territory.  Kissei shall keep Rigel informed of the status of filing, prosecution, maintenance, and defense, if any, of the Kissei Patents, and, ** Patents claiming or covering a Compound Invention, Kissei shall consult with, and consider in full good faith the requests and suggestions of Rigel with respect to strategies for filing, prosecuting, and defending such Kissei Patents.
(b)In the event that Kissei desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any Kissei Patent, Kissei shall provide reasonable prior written notice to Rigel of such intention to abandon (which notice shall, to the extent possible, be given no later than ** prior to the next deadline for any action that must be taken with respect to any such Kissei Patent in the relevant patent office).  In such case, upon Rigel’s written election provided no later than ** after such notice from Kissei, Rigel shall have the right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such Kissei Patent at Rigel’s expense and Kissei shall assign to Rigel all of its rights, title, and interest in and to such Kissei Patent.  If Rigel does not provide such election within ** after such notice from Kissei, Kissei

32


may, in its sole discretion, continue prosecution and maintenance of such Kissei Patent or discontinue prosecution and maintenance of such Kissei Patent.
9.2.3Cooperation.  Each Party agrees to cooperate fully in the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, and defense, if any, of Patents under Section 9.2 and in the obtaining and maintenance of any patent term extensions and supplementary protection certificates and their equivalents, **.  Such cooperation includes (i) executing all papers and instruments, or requiring its employees or contractors, to execute such papers and instruments, so as enable the other Party to apply for and to prosecute patent applications in any country as permitted by Section 9.2; and (ii) promptly informing the other Party of any matters coming to such Party’s attention that may affect the preparation, filing, prosecution, or maintenance of any such patent application and the obtaining of any patent term extensions or supplementary protection certificates or their equivalents.
9.3Patent Enforcement.
9.3.1Notice.  Each Party shall notify the other within ** of becoming aware of any alleged or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any of the Rigel Patents and Joint Patents in the Kissei Territory, which infringement adversely affects or is reasonably expected to adversely affect any Product, including any declaratory judgment, opposition, or similar action alleging the invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of any of the Rigel Patents or Joint Patents (collectively, “Product Infringement”).  
9.3.2Enforcement Right.  Rigel shall have the first right to bring and control any legal action in connection with such Product Infringement at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate.  If Rigel (i) decides not to bring such legal action against a Product Infringement (the decision of which Rigel shall inform Kissei promptly) or (ii) Rigel otherwise fails to bring such legal action against a Product Infringement within ** of first becoming aware of such Product Infringement, Kissei shall have the right to bring and control any legal action in connection with such Product Infringement at its own responsibility and expense and in consultation with Rigel.
9.3.3Collaboration.  Each Party shall provide to the enforcing Party reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including to be named in such action if required by Applicable Laws to pursue such action.  The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts, including determination of litigation strategy and filing of material papers to the competent court.  The non-enforcing Party shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the enforcing Party.  
9.3.4Expense and Recovery.  
(a)Except as set forth in subsection 9.3.4(b) below, the enforcing Party shall be solely responsible for any cost and expenses incurred by such Party as a result of such enforcement action.  If such Party recovers monetary damages in such enforcement action, such recovery shall be allocated **.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if ** is the enforcing Party against a Product Infringement in the Kissei Territory, ** shall have the option to share ** the cost and expense incurred by ** in such enforcement action, which option ** may exercise by providing written notice to ** within ** after receiving a notice from ** that it has determined to bring such action.  If ** exercises such option, then (1) ** shall reimburse ** for ** of all costs and expenses incurred by ** in such enforcement action, within ** from the date of invoice for such costs and expenses provided by **; and (2) if ** recovers any monetary damages in such enforcement action, such recovery shall be allocated **.
9.3.5Other Infringement.  Except for Product Infringement as set forth above, each Party shall have the exclusive right to enforce its own Patent against any infringement anywhere in the world.  For clarity, Rigel shall have the exclusive right to enforce (i) the Rigel Patents against any infringement in the Kissei Territory that is not a Product Infringement, and (ii) the Rigel Patents and Joint Patents against any infringement in the Rigel Territory, in each case at its own expense as it reasonably determines appropriate.  The Parties shall discuss global enforcement strategy for the Rigel Patents and Kissei Patents, including the defense of validity and enforceability challenges arising from any enforcement action.  
9.3.6Infringement of Third Party Rights.  If any Product used or sold by Kissei, its Affiliates, or Sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of any intellectual property rights in a jurisdiction within the Kissei Territory, Kissei shall promptly notify Rigel and the Parties shall promptly

33


meet to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action and may, if appropriate, agree on and enter into a “common interest agreement” wherein the Parties agree to their shared, mutual interest in the outcome of such potential dispute.  Absent any agreement to the contrary, and subject to claims for indemnification under Article 11, each Party may defend itself from any such Third Party claim at its own cost and expense, provided, however, that the provisions of Section 9.3 shall govern the right of Kissei to assert a counterclaim of infringement of any Rigel Patents.
9.4Patents Licensed From Third Parties.  Each Party’s rights under this Article 9 with respect to the prosecution and enforcement of any Rigel Patent, Kissei Patent and Joint Patent shall be subject to the rights (a) retained by any upstream licensor to prosecute and enforce such Patent, if such Patent is subject to an upstream license agreement; and (b) granted to any Third Party prior to such Patent becoming subject to the license grant under this Agreement.
9.5Trademarks.  
9.5.1Product Trademarks.  Subject to 9.5.3, each Party shall develop and adopt trademarks, including trade names, trade dresses, branding, and logos, to be used for the Products (the “Product Marks”) in its own territory **; provided, however, that the Parties shall collaborate to have a global, worldwide trademark to be used on the Product where possible and in such cases Rigel shall own such global Product Mark, subject to the license granted to Kissei in Section 9.5.2.  For clarity, Kissei may develop a trademark for its Commercialization of the Product in the Kissei Territory, which trademark is the notation of each national language in each country of the Kissei Territory parallel to Rigel’s global, worldwide trademark in the Kissei Territory (the “Kissei Product Mark”), and Kissei shall own such Kissei Product Mark. Each Party shall own all Product Marks developed by such Party.  Each Party shall be responsible for the registration, maintenance, defense, and enforcement of the Product Marks ** using counsel of its own choice in its respective territory.  Kissei shall keep Rigel informed of material progress with regard to the registration, prosecution, maintenance, and defense, if any, of any Product Marks in the Kissei Territory, including content, timing, and jurisdiction of the filing of such Product Marks in the Kissei Territory.
9.5.2Trademark License.  Kissei has the option to use the Product Marks to Commercialize the Product in the Kissei Territory.  In addition, unless prohibited by Applicable Laws, Kissei shall use Commercially Reasonable Effort to include Rigel’s corporate trademark on the packaging and product information of the Products sold in the Kissei Territory to indicate that the Product is licensed from Rigel.  Rigel hereby grants to Kissei a limited, royalty-free license to use Rigel’s corporate trademark and Rigel Product Marks solely in connection with the Commercialization of the Product in the Kissei Territory under this Agreement.  All use of the Product Marks and Rigel’s corporate trademark shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be subject to Rigel’s prior review and written approval, provided that such Rigel’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and delayed, and all goodwill in the Product Marks and Rigel’s corporate trademark will inure to the benefit of Rigel.  For clarity, Kissei shall also include its (or its Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s, as applicable) corporate logo in the Product sold in the Kissei Territory and all goodwill in the Kissei Product Marks and Kissei’s corporate trademark will inure to the benefit of Kissei.
9.5.3Global Strategy.  Where Rigel reasonably believes in good faith that a Product Mark developed by Kissei is not appropriate and conflicts with Rigel’s global strategy for the Product, the Parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to agree on an alternative Product Mark.

11.INDEMNIFICATION
11.1Indemnification by Rigel.  Rigel hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Kissei and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (each, a “Kissei Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, and losses including any product liability, personal injury, property damage, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), to which any Kissei Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action, or other proceeding by any Third Party to the extent such Losses arise out of or result from: (a) the Development, use, Manufacture, handling, storage, Commercialization, or other disposition of Olutasidenib or any Product by Rigel or its Affiliates or licensees or the contractors of any of them (excluding any activities by or on behalf of Kissei or its Affiliates or Sublicensees), (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Rigel Indemnitee, or (c) the breach by Rigel of any warranty, representation, covenant, or agreement made by Rigel in this Agreement; except, in each case (a)-(c), to the extent such Losses arise out of any activities set forth in Section 11.2(a), (b), or (c) for which Kissei is obligated to indemnify any Rigel Indemnitee(s) under Section 11.2.
11.2Indemnification by Kissei.  Kissei hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rigel, its Affiliates, and licensees and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (each, a “Rigel Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Rigel Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action, or other proceeding by any Third Party to the extent such Losses arise out of: (a) the Development, use, handling, storage, Commercialization, or other disposition of Olutasidenib or any Product by Kissei or its Affiliates or Sublicensees or the contractor of any of them (excluding any activities by or on behalf of Rigel or its Affiliates or its licensor or other licensee than Kissei), (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Kissei Indemnitee, or (c) the breach by Kissei of any warranty, representation, covenant, or agreement made by Kissei in this Agreement; except, in each case (a)-(c), to the extent such Losses arise out of any activities set forth in Section 11.1(a), (b), or (c) for which Rigel is obligated to indemnify any Kissei Indemnitee(s) under Section 11.1.

13.4.1Licenses.  All licenses granted by Rigel to Kissei will automatically terminate, including all sublicenses granted by Kissei to any Sublicensee.  Except in the event of termination by Kissei under Section 13.2.1 for material breach by Rigel, the licenses granted by Kissei to Rigel shall survive in perpetual and fully-paid-up basis following such termination and shall automatically become worldwide.
13.4.2Regulatory Materials; Data.  Within ** after the effective date of termination, Kissei shall transfer and assign to Rigel, ** all Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals for the Product, Data from all preclinical, non-clinical, and Clinical Studies of the Product conducted by or on behalf of Kissei, its Affiliates, or Sublicensees, and all pharmacovigilance data (including all adverse event data) on the Product.  In addition, at Rigel’s reasonable request, Kissei shall provide Rigel with Commercially Reasonable assistance with any inquiries and correspondence with Regulatory Authorities regarding the Product in the Kissei Territory, such assistance shall be limited to a period of ** after such termination.
13.4.3Development Wind-Down.  Kissei shall either, as directed by Rigel, (i) wind-down any ongoing Development activities (including any Clinical Studies) of Kissei or its Affiliates and Sublicensees with respect to any Product in the Kissei Territory in an orderly fashion at Kissei’s cost or (ii) promptly transfer such Development activities to Rigel or its designee, ** in each case in compliance with all Applicable Laws.
13.4.4Cost of Ongoing Trials.  If there is any ongoing Clinical Study of the Product under the Development Plan for which the Parties are sharing costs, then Kissei shall continue to share the cost of such Clinical Study until **.  The remaining costs from ** until completion of such Clinical Study (or early termination of such Clinical Study by Rigel) shall be borne entirely by Rigel following **.  
13.4.5Commercial Wind-Down.  The Parties agree that Kissei shall (i) continue certain ongoing Commercial activities of Kissei and its Affiliates and Sublicensees with respect to any Product in the Kissei Territory for a period of up to ** after the effective date of termination and (ii) handoff such Commercial activities to Rigel or its designee, on a timetable to be set by the Parties, not to exceed ** after the effective date of termination, and in compliance with all Applicable Laws.  During such commercial wind-down period, Kissei shall continue to book sales and pay the Transfer Price to Rigel in accordance with Section 8.4.  Except as necessary to conduct the foregoing activities as directed by Rigel, Kissei shall immediately discontinue its (and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees immediately discontinue their) promotion, marketing, offering for sale, and servicing of the Product and its use of all Product Marks.  In addition, Kissei shall immediately deliver to Rigel ** all samples, demonstration equipment, sales materials, catalogs, and literature of Rigel in Kissei’s possession or control.  
13.4.6Transition Assistance.  Kissei shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek an orderly transition of the Development and Commercialization of Olutasidenib and Products to Rigel or its designee.  Except in the event of termination by Kissei under Section 13.2.1, Kissei shall, ** provide reasonable consultation and assistance for a period of no more than ** after the effective date of termination for the purpose of transferring or transitioning to Rigel all Kissei Know-How not already in Rigel’s possession. At Rigel’s request, Kissei will transfer all then-existing commercial arrangements relating to the Product that Kissei is able, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, to transfer or transition to Rigel or its designee, in each case, to the extent reasonably necessary for Rigel to continue the Development or Commercialization of Olutasidenib and Products in the Kissei Territory.  If any such contract between Kissei and a Third Party is not assignable to Rigel or its designee (whether by such contract’s terms or because such contract does not relate specifically to the Product) but is otherwise reasonably necessary for Rigel to continue the Development or Commercialization of Olutasidenib and Products in the Kissei Territory, or if Kissei is performing such work for Olutasidenib and Product itself (and thus there is no contract to assign), then Kissei shall reasonably cooperate with Rigel to negotiate for the continuation of such services for Rigel from such entity, or Kissei shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to continue to perform such work for Rigel, as applicable, for a reasonable period (not to exceed **) after the effective date of termination at Rigel’s cost until Rigel establishes an alternate, validated source of such services.  

42


13.4.7Remaining Inventories.  Other than termination for safety reasons pursuant to Section 13.2.4, Kissei shall have the right to sell out the inventory of the Product held by Kissei as of the notice date of termination but such right shall expire on ** of the effective date of termination (as further described in Section 13.4.5), subject to Kissei’s payment obligations to Rigel under Article 8 with respect to such sales.
13.4.8Trademarks.  The Trademark license granted to Kissei under Section 9.5.2 shall terminate and Kissei shall cease immediately the use of all Rigel Product Marks.  Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13.3.3, Kissei shall transfer and assign to Rigel, ** all Kissei Product Marks.
13.4.9Non-Compete.  Following any termination of this Agreement by Rigel pursuant to Section 13.2 or by Kissei pursuant to Section 13.3, neither Kissei nor any of its Affiliates shall (directly or indirectly, either with or without a bona fide collaborator or any other Third Party) commercialize any Competing Product for a period of ** following the effective date of such termination.
13.5Confidential Information.  Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety, except to the extent that a Party obtains or retains the right to use the other Party’s Confidential Information, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party, or delete or destroy, all relevant records and materials in such Party’s possession or control containing Confidential Information of the other Party; provided that such Party may keep one copy of such materials for archival purposes only subject to continuing confidentiality obligations.  All Kissei Data and Regulatory Filings assigned to Rigel upon termination of this Agreement will be deemed Rigel’s Confidential Information and no longer Kissei’s Confidential Information.
13.6Survival.  Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation or right accruing prior to such expiration or termination.  Except as set forth below or elsewhere in this Agreement, the obligations and rights of the Parties under the following provisions of this Agreement shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement: Articles 1 (Definitions), 8 (with respect to payment obligations accrued prior to such expiration or termination and/or during the Extended Commercialization Term), 9 (Intellectual Property), 10, (Representations, Warranties and Covenants), 11 (Indemnification), 13 (Term and Termination), 14 (Dispute Resolution), and 15 (General Provisions).

14.DISPUTE RESOLUTION

43


14.1Objective.  The Parties recognize that disputes as to matters arising under or relating to this Agreement or either Party’s rights and obligations hereunder may arise from time to time.  It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of such disputes in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation.  To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article 14 to resolve any such dispute if and when it arises.
14.2Executive Mediation.  The Parties shall attempt to settle any dispute, controversy, or claim that arises out of, or relates to, any provision of the Agreement (“Disputed Matter”) by first referring the Disputed Matter to the Executive Officers **.  Either Party may initiate such informal dispute resolution by sending written notice of the Disputed Matter to the other Party, and, within ** after such notice, the Executive Officers ** shall meet for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations.  If the Executive Officers ** are unable to resolve such dispute within t** of their first meeting for such negotiations, either Party may seek to have such dispute resolved in accordance with Section 14.3 below.
14.3Dispute Resolution.  
14.3.1If the Parties are unable to resolve a Disputed Matter using the process described in Section 14.2, then a Party seeking further resolution of the Disputed Matter will submit the Disputed Matter to resolution by final and binding arbitration.  Whenever a Party decides to institute arbitration proceedings, it will give written notice to that effect to the other Party.  Arbitration will be held in ** and administered by the International Chamber of Commerce pursuant to its ICC International Arbitration Rules then in effect (the “Rules”), except as otherwise provided herein and applying the substantive law specified in Section 15.1.  The arbitration will be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules; provided that each Party will, within ** after the institution of the arbitration proceedings, appoint an arbitrator, and such arbitrators will together, within **, select a third (3rd) arbitrator as the chairperson of the arbitration panel.  Each arbitrator must have significant business or legal experience in the pharmaceutical business.  If the two (2) initial arbitrators are unable to select a third (3rd) arbitrator within such ** period, the third (3rd) arbitrator will be appointed in accordance with Rules.  After conducting any hearing and taking any evidence deemed appropriate for consideration, the arbitrators will be requested to render their opinion within ** of the final arbitration hearing.  No panel of arbitrators will have the power to award damages excluded pursuant to Section 11.5 under this Agreement and any arbitral award that purports to award such damages is expressly prohibited and void ab initio.  Decisions of the panel of arbitrators that conform to the terms of this Section 14.3 will be final and binding on the Parties and judgment on the award so rendered may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The losing Party, as determined by the panel of arbitrators, will pay all of the ICC administrative costs and fees of the arbitration and the fees and costs of the arbitrators, and the arbitrators will be directed to provide for payment or reimbursement of such fees and costs by the losing Party.  If the panel of arbitrators determines that there is no losing Party, the Parties will each bear one-half of those costs and fees and the arbitrators’ award will so provide.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, expert or witness fees, and any other fees and costs, and no such fees or costs will be shifted to the other Party.
14.3.2Notwithstanding the terms of and procedures set forth in Section 14.2 or 14.3.1, any applications, motions, or orders to show cause seeking temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, or other similar preliminary or temporary legal or equitable relief (“Injunctive Relief”) concerning a Disputed Matter (including Disputed Matters arising out of a potential or actual breach of the confidentiality and non-use provisions in Article 12) may immediately be brought in the first instance and without invocation or exhaustion of the procedures set forth in subsections (a) and (b) for hearing and resolution in and by any court of competent jurisdiction.  Alternatively, a party seeking Injunctive Relief may immediately institute arbitral proceedings without invocation or exhaustion of the procedures set forth in subsections (a) and (b), and any such Injunctive Relief proceedings will be administered by the ICC pursuant to its ICC emergency arbitration procedures then in effect and applying the substantive law specified in Section 15.1.  In either event, once the Injunctive Relief proceedings have been conducted and a decision is rendered thereon by the court or arbitral forum, the Parties shall, if the Disputed Matter is not finally resolved by the Injunctive Relief, proceed to resolve the Disputed Matter in accordance with the terms of Section 14.2 and 14.3.1.
14.3.3Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 14.3 shall not apply to any dispute, controversy, or claim that concerns (i) the validity, enforceability, or infringement of a patent, trademark, or copyright; or (ii) any antitrust, anti-monopoly, or competition law or regulation, whether or not statutory.  Disputes regarding the

44


foregoing shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in which such patent or trademark or copyright was granted or arose, or in which such law or regulation applies, in each case as applicable.

15.4Non-Waiver.  The failure of a Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right arising out of this Agreement shall neither impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part, in that instance or in any other instance.  Any waiver by a Party of a particular provision or right shall be in writing, shall be as to a particular matter and, if applicable, for a particular period of time and shall be signed by such Party.

For clarity, neither Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be affected by the other Party’s assignment of this Agreement.

15.6Severability.  If, for any reason, any part of this Agreement is adjudicated invalid, unenforceable, or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, such adjudication shall not, to the extent feasible, affect or impair, in whole or in part, the validity, enforceability, or legality of any remaining portions of this Agreement.  All remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect as if the original Agreement had been executed without the invalidated, unenforceable, or illegal part.
