2.8 Targets.

2.8.1 Obligations with respect to Targets. During the Research Program Term and consistent with the Annual Research Plan and the terms of this Agreement, ImmunoGen and Aventis shall (i) identify and provide Targets during the Research Program Term for use in the Research Program, (ii) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to validate Targets so provided and (iii) designate such Targets as Antibody Targets pursuant to Section 2.8.2 below using the technologies, data and materials specified in such Annual Research Plan.

2.8.2 Inclusion of Targets as Antibody Targets; Limited Targets.

(a) When a Party presents a [***]to the [***]for [***]in the [***]as an[***], such Party shall present to the [***]all [***]and [***]in the [***]of which such Party is [***]or [***]by such Party relating to the [***]for [***]in the [***]of any such[***]. Within [***]([***]) [***]from the date a Target is presented to the Joint Research Committee, ImmunoGen shall provide written notice to the Joint Research Committee if such Target is a Limited Target. Such notice shall include the identity of the type of Limited Target that it is and a reasonably detailed description of the limitations that would be imposed on Aventis’ rights with respect to such Limited Target (in each case, the “Limitations”).

(b) In the event that ImmunoGen provides notice within such [***]([***]) [***]period that such Target is a Limited Target, then the Joint Research Committee shall promptly determine whether to:

(i) decline to include such Limited Target in the Research Program and such Limited Target shall not become an Antibody Target, or

(ii) include such Limited Target in the Research Program as an Antibody Target subject to the Limitations identified by ImmunoGen; provided that, in no event shall such Limitations restrict the rights granted to Aventis in this Agreement with respect to the research, Development or Commercialization of (A) Antibodies other than TAP Antibodies (commonly referred to as “naked Antibodies”) or (B) in the case of any Limited Target other than a Limited Exclusive Option Target or Limited Exclusive Target, any TAP Antibody containing an Effector Molecule from a class of molecules other than the maytansinoid class of molecules.

(c) Subject to Section 2.8.4 below, each Target included in the Research Program as an Antibody Target shall be subject to the restrictions contained in Section 7.5. ImmunoGen shall promptly notify Aventis and the Joint Research Committee if at any time during the Research Program Term any Limited Target ceases to be subject to any or all of the Limitations applicable thereto, whereupon such Limited Target shall be eligible for inclusion in the Research Program as an Antibody Target, subject to any remaining Limitations,

or if already an Antibody Target, such Limited Target shall no longer be subject to the particular Limitations that have ceased to be in effect.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall [***]than [***]([***]) [***]be [***]by the [***]as [***]at any [***]during the[***]. For clarity, such [***]of [***]shall not [***]any [***]that would be [***]in the [***]of such [***]upon such [***]becoming a[***].

2.8.3 Designation of Program Targets. From time to time during the Research Program Term and no less frequently than at each Joint Research Committee meeting, the Joint Research Committee shall review all data and information with respect to each Antibody Target, including any reports as to whether such Antibody Target may be useful in identifying Antibodies or TAP Antibodies suitable for the Development of Products in the Collaborative Focus Area. Promptly following its review, the Joint Research Committee shall determine whether additional data or information is required for the Joint Research Committee to make a decision as to whether to designate such Antibody Target as a Program Target. If the Joint Research Committee finds that sufficient data and information have been obtained by the relevant Joint Research Project Teams, the Joint Research Committee shall provide written notice of same to ImmunoGen. The Joint Research Committee shall, as soon as practicable, but in any event on or before [***]([***]) [***]from the date of such notice, determine in good faith whether to designate such Antibody Target as a Program Target or to drop such Antibody Target from the Research Program in accordance with Section 2.8.4 of this Agreement, which determination and the rationale therefor shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting. The Joint Research Committee shall prepare and approve an amendment to the Annual Research Plan to reflect the activities to be undertaken by the Parties with respect to any Antibody Target that has been designated as a Program Target.

2.8.4 Dropped Targets. If at any time during the Research Program Term the Joint Research Committee fails to designate any Antibody Target as a Program Target within the period described in Section 2.8.3, then such Antibody Target shall be deemed a “Dropped Target.” In addition, if at any time during the Research Program Term either Party determines in good faith that the evaluation of an Antibody Target or Program Target should be discontinued, then either Party may propose to the Joint Research Committee that the Antibody Target or Program Target should be dropped from the Research Program. The Joint Research Committee shall review each such proposal in good faith and make a determination in favor or against such proposal as soon as reasonably practicable. If the Joint Research Committee accepts any such proposal, then, subject to Section 2.8.3 (in the event that a Lead Antibody has been Developed against such Program Target), such Antibody Target or Program Target shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Dropped Target”.

2.8.5 Use of Dropped Targets. Once a Target becomes a Dropped Target:

(a) Aventis shall have the right to exploit (i) any Dropped Target that was [***]for use in the Research Program by [***]and is not Covered by any Valid Claim of an issued patent within the [***]for [***]and [***]and (ii) any Dropped Target to the extent Covered by any Valid Claim of an issued patent within the [***]or to the extent obtained by

[***]from a [***]and [***]by [***]for use in the Research Program in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Agreement, for the sole purpose of making, using and selling[***], subject to Sections 8.2.3 and 8.4.3 of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to Section 2.8.5(a)(ii) above, ImmunoGen shall have the right to exploit any Dropped Target to the extent [***]by [***]or to the extent obtained by [***]from a [***]and [***]by [***]for use in the Research Program in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Agreement, for any purpose other than for the purpose of making, using and selling[***].

(c) Each Party shall have the right to exploit any Dropped Target that is part of the public domain.

The rights of Aventis and of ImmunoGen to Dropped Targets in each of subsections (a)(i), (b) and (c) above shall include the rights to all [***]and [***](together with the specific [***]and [***]to which it is[***]) that are [***]against such Dropped Target to the extent not covered by the intellectual property rights of the other Party.

2.9 Research Program Records.

2.9.1 All work conducted by either Party in the course of the Research Program shall be completely and accurately recorded, in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner, in separate laboratory notebooks. On reasonable notice, and at reasonable intervals, each Party shall have the right to inspect and copy all such records of the other Party reflecting Program Technology, Aventis Technology Improvements, ImmunoGen Technology Improvements, or work done under the Research Program, to the extent reasonably required to carry out its respective obligations and to exercise its respective rights hereunder. Notwithstanding the definition of “Confidential Information”, all such records shall constitute Confidential Information of the Party creating such laboratory notebooks and other records. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Party guarantees the success of the Research Program tasks undertaken hereunder.

2.9.2 In order to protect the Parties’ Patent Rights under U.S. law in any inventions conceived or reduced to practice during or as a result of the Research Program, each Party agrees to maintain a policy which requires its employees to record and maintain all data and information developed during the Research Program in such a manner as to enable the Parties to use such records to establish the earliest date of invention and/or diligence to reduction to practice. At a minimum, the policy shall require such individuals to record all inventions generated by them in standard laboratory notebooks which are dated and corroborated by non-inventors on a regular, contemporaneous basis.

2.10 Disclosure of Research Program Results. Subject to restrictions imposed by a Party’s confidentiality obligations to any Third Party, each Party will disclose to the other all Program Technology, Aventis Technology Improvements and ImmunoGen Technology

Improvements discovered, invented, or made by such Party during the course of the Research Program, including, without limitation, information regarding (i) Targets, Antibodies, TAP Antibodies, Effector Molecules and Linkers identified in the Research Program through the use of Program Targets, (ii) the Activity of such Antibodies and TAP Antibodies and any derivatives thereof, and (iii) the results of in vitro and in vivo studies, assay techniques and new assays. Such Program Technology, Aventis Technology Improvements and ImmunoGen Technology Improvements will be promptly disclosed to the other Party (including the actual sequence of a Target or the nucleic or amino acid sequence of an Antibody), with discoveries or advances being communicated as promptly as practicable after such information is obtained. Each Party will provide the other with copies of the raw data generated in the course of the Research Program, if reasonably necessary to the other Party’s work under the Research Program or as requested by the other Party. Any information disclosed pursuant to this Section 2.10 may be used by the other Party solely for the purposes of the Research Program or as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement.

2.11 Material Transfer. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, (a) all Aventis Materials or ImmunoGen Materials delivered to the other Party shall remain the sole property of the supplying Party and shall be used only in furtherance of the Research Program under the sole control of the other Party and its Affiliates and (b) a Party receiving Aventis Materials or ImmunoGen Materials hereunder shall not use such materials for the benefit of, or deliver such materials to, any Third Party without the prior written consent of the supplying Party.

2.12 Liability. In connection with conduct of the Research Program, each Party shall be responsible for, and hereby assumes, any and all risks of personal injury or property damage attributable to the negligent acts or omissions of that Party or its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents.

2.13 Use of Approved Subcontractors. Either Party may perform some of its obligations under the Research Program through one or more Approved Subcontractors as approved by the Joint Research Committee or Joint Development Committee, as appropriate; provided, that, (a) none of the rights of the other Party hereunder are diminished or otherwise adversely affected as a result of such subcontracting, and (b) the Approved Subcontractor undertakes in writing all obligations of confidentiality and non-use regarding the other Party’s Confidential Information which are substantially the same as those undertaken by Aventis and ImmunoGen pursuant to Article 11 hereof and (c) with respect to ImmunoGen, only those obligations which ImmunoGen in good faith determines it does not have the ability and/or reasonable capacity to perform in light of its existing obligations to Aventis and/or Third Parties shall be eligible for assignment to an Approved Subcontractor; provided, that with respect to any such obligations of ImmunoGen described in this clause (c), to the extent that ImmunoGen does not take actions necessary to enable it to perform such obligations, then Aventis may, in its sole discretion, perform, or make arrangements for such obligations to be performed, in which case such obligations shall not be eligible for assignment to an Approved Subcontractor by ImmunoGen. In the event that a Party performs one or more of its obligations under the Research Program through any such Approved Subcontractor, then such Party shall at all times be responsible for the performance by such Approved Subcontractor of such Party’s obligations

hereunder. Aventis shall reimburse ImmunoGen pursuant to Section 2.5.5 for payments made by ImmunoGen to Approved Subcontractors that are eligible to be used by ImmunoGen in accordance with this Section 2.13.

9.1.2 Taxes and Withholding. Any payments made by Aventis to ImmunoGen under this Agreement shall be free and clear of any taxes, duties, levies, fees or charges, and such amounts shall be reduced by the amount required to be paid or withheld pursuant to any applicable law, including, but not limited to, United States federal, state or local tax law (“Withholding Taxes”). Any such Withholding Taxes required by law to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by, ImmunoGen. Aventis, as applicable, shall submit to ImmunoGen reasonable proof of payment of the Withholding Taxes, together with an accounting of the calculations of such taxes, within [***]([***]) [***]after such Withholding Taxes are remitted to the proper authority. The Parties will cooperate reasonably in completing and filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable tax laws or under any other applicable law in connection with the making of any required tax payment or withholding payment, or in connection with any claim to a refund of or credit for any such payment.

9.1.3 Currency Exchange. With respect to Net Sales invoiced or expenses incurred in U.S. dollars, the Net Sales or expense amounts and the amounts due to ImmunoGen hereunder shall be expressed in U.S. dollars. With respect to Net Sales invoiced or expenses incurred in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Net Sales or expense shall be expressed in the domestic currency of the entity making the sale or incurring the expense, together with the U.S. dollar equivalent, calculated using the arithmetic average of the spot rates on the last Business Day of each month of the Calendar Quarter in which the Net Sales were made or the expense was incurred.

All payments shall be made by wire transfer in U.S. dollars to the credit of such bank account as shall be designated at least five (5) Business Days in advance by ImmunoGen in writing to Aventis.

9.1.4 Maintenance of Records; Audit. For a period of [***]([***])[***], Aventis shall keep and maintain, and shall require its respective Affiliates and sublicensees to keep and maintain, such accurate and complete books and records in connection with the sale of Products hereunder, as are necessary to allow the accurate calculation consistent with generally accepted accounting principles of the Royalties due to ImmunoGen, including any records required to calculate any royalty adjustments hereunder. [***]per[***], ImmunoGen shall have the right to engage an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing and reasonably acceptable to Aventis, which shall have the right to examine in confidence the relevant books and records of Aventis and its respective Affiliates and sublicensees as may be reasonably necessary to determine and/or verify the amount of Royalty payments due hereunder. Such examination shall be conducted, and Aventis shall make its records available, during normal business hours, after at least [***]([***]) [***]prior written notice to Aventis, as applicable, and shall take place at the facility(ies) where such records are maintained. Each such examination shall be limited to pertinent books and records for any year ending not more than [***]([***]) [***]prior to the date of request; provided, that, ImmunoGen shall not be permitted to audit the same period of time more than once. Before permitting such independent accounting firm to have access to such books and records, Aventis may require such independent accounting firm and its personnel involved in such audit, to sign a confidentiality agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of the Parties) as to any confidential information which is to be provided to such accounting firm or to which such accounting firm will have access, while conducting the audit under this paragraph. The ImmunoGen independent accounting firm will prepare and provide to each Party a written report stating whether the Royalty reports submitted and Royalties paid are correct or incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. Such accounting firm may not reveal to ImmunoGen any information learned in the course of such audit other than the amount of any such discrepancies. ImmunoGen agrees to hold in strict confidence all information disclosed to it, except to the extent necessary for ImmunoGen to enforce its rights under this Agreement or if disclosure is required by law. In the event there was an underpayment by Aventis hereunder, Aventis shall promptly (but in no event later than [***]([***]) [***]after such Party’s receipt of the independent auditor’s report so correctly concluding) make payment to ImmunoGen of any shortfall. In the event that there was an overpayment by Aventis hereunder, ImmunoGen shall promptly (but in no event later than [***]([***]) [***]after ImmunoGen’s receipt of the

independent auditor’s report so correctly concluding) refund to Aventis the excess amount. [***]shall bear the [***]of such audit unless such audit discloses an underreporting by Aventis of more than [***]([***]) of the aggregate amount of Royalties in any [***]([***]) [***]period, in which case, Aventis shall reimburse ImmunoGen for all costs incurred by ImmunoGen in connection with such examination and audit.

9.1.5 Overdue Royalties. In the event that any payment for Royalties due hereunder is not made when due, the payment shall accrue interest from the date due at a rate equal to the average one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for the US Dollar, as published by The Financial Times or any other publication as mutually agreed to by the Parties, plus one hundred (100) basis points, calculated on the number of days between the actual date the payment is made and the date the payment was due; provided, however, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum annual interest rate permitted under applicable Law.

Aventis and ImmunoGen Sign Collaboration Agreement to Discover, Develop, and Commercialize Novel Anti-cancer Therapeutics

Collaboration Pairs Aventis’ Strength in the Global Development and Commercialization of Novel Anti-cancer Products with ImmunoGen’s Antibody Expertise

Strasbourg, France, July 31, 2003 — Aventis and ImmunoGen announced today the signing of a collaboration agreement to discover, develop, and commercialize novel antibody-based anti-cancer products. The agreement combines the strength of Aventis in oncology product development and commercialization with ImmunoGen’s antibody expertise.

Aventis will acquire the worldwide commercialization rights to the new product candidates created by the collaboration as well as worldwide commercialization rights to three early-stage product candidates in ImmunoGen’s research pipeline: a potential new treatment for the blood cancer, acute myeloid leukemia; a potential new treatment for a number of solid tumors, including breast, lung and prostate cancers; and a potential new treatment for certain B-cell blood cancers including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Aventis and ImmunoGen will collaborate to create antibody-based anti-cancer products using targets provided by both companies. Aventis is responsible for product development, manufacturing, and commercialization, and will cover all associated costs. ImmunoGen has an option to certain co-promotion rights in the United States on a product-by-product basis.

“Fully in line with our strategy to reinforce our leadership position in oncology, this alliance provides Aventis with a foothold in the expanding field of monoclonal antibodies. ImmunoGen’s antibody expertise, including their immunoconjugate technology, is highly complementary to our established oncology expertise. We are very pleased to work with ImmunoGen to develop additional potential treatments to combat cancer,” said Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Executive Vice President of Drug Innovation & Approval and a member of the Management Board of Aventis.

Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Ph.D., ImmunoGen Chairman and CEO, commented, “We are delighted to enter into a collaboration with Aventis, a leading pharmaceutical company and a global powerhouse in oncology. This partnership is an important milestone for ImmunoGen — it enables us to develop

more products, faster, and at lower cost, than would be possible on our own and it provides us with a global commercialization partner for the collaboration products. We now are able to expand our efforts in the development of naked antibody therapeutics, enhance our effector molecule program for Tumor-Activated Prodrug (TAP) immunoconjugate products, and significantly increase our product development programs overall.”

Under the terms of the agreement, ImmunoGen will receive an upfront payment of $12 million and more than $50 million in committed research funding over a three-year period. Aventis has an option to extend the research collaboration for one to two years. An extension of the collaboration could bring the total committed funding to ImmunoGen up to $99 million. Additionally, for each product candidate, ImmunoGen can receive milestone payments of between $20 million and $30 million based on development and regulatory achievements as well as royalties on commercial sales. Aventis is responsible for and pays for the manufacturing of clinical and commercial materials. Additional financial terms were not disclosed.

Aventis is a world leader in oncology. Its oncology product portfolio includes TaxotereÒ, one of the most widely used chemotherapeutics in the world. In 2002, Taxotere sales worldwide exceeded €1 billion.

In addition to Taxotere, Aventis markets CamptoÒ (irinotecan), a reference treatment for advanced colorectal cancer, in countries other than Japan and North America, and AnzemetÒ (dolasetron mesylate), a 5HT3 inhibitor for the treatment of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting that is marketed in North America.

Aventis also has a rich pipeline of investigational oncology compounds, including AVE-8062, a unique antivascular agent; flavopiridol, a novel cell cycle inhibitor; new taxoids, that may offer benefits over available taxanes; and the ALVAC cancer vaccines being developed through the vaccines business of Aventis.

In 2002, Aventis entered a global agreement with Genta Inc. to jointly develop and commercialize GenasenseÔ, an antisense compound designed to decrease the synthesis of Bcl-2, a protein which prevents apoptosis. Genasense, currently in late-stage development, may enhance the effectiveness of current anti-cancer treatments.

ImmunoGen has comprehensive capabilities in the creation of antibody-based anti-cancer therapeutics, including expertise and intellectual property related to the identification and validation of biological targets for cancer treatments, the development and humanization of monoclonal antibodies, and the creation of potent cell-killing agents designed for antibody delivery to cancer cells. ImmunoGen’s proprietary Tumor-Activated Prodrug (TAP) technology provides the company with the flexibility to develop a product candidate as either an immunoconjugate (products that use the antibody to deliver a potent cell-killing agent to the cancer cell) or as a naked antibody (products in which the antibody alone inhibits or kills the cancer cell) depending on the target.

About Aventis

Aventis is dedicated to treating and preventing disease by discovering and developing innovative prescription drugs and human vaccines. In 2002, Aventis generated sales of € 17.6 billion, invested € 3.1 billion in research and development and employed approximately 71,000 people in its core business. Aventis corporate headquarters are in Strasbourg, France. For more information, please visit: xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx
