2.7.4

Development Costs for Declined Activities.

(a) Suspension of Development Cost Sharing. If Ambit decides not to fund its share of the Development Costs to be incurred prior to the First Commercial Sale of the applicable Product in a country in the Joint Development Territory with respect to Declined Activities as set forth in Section 2.1.4, then, to the extent that Astellas elects in its sole discretion to perform the Declined Activities and for so long as Astellas pursues such activities, Astellas shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of the Development Costs for the Declined Activities incurred during the period from the decision date stated in the Decision Notice through to the date of First Commercial Sale of the Product that is the subject of the Development Program to which such Declined Development Activities relate (the aggregate Development Costs with respect to such Declined Activity, the “Declined Development Costs”).

(b) Following First Commercial Sale. From and after the First Commercial Sale in any country in the Joint Development Territory of the Product to which the Declined Activities relate, such development activities shall cease to be Declined Activities and (i) to the extent that such activities relate to a Co-Promoted Product, Development Costs reasonably allocable such activities shall be treated as Post-Approval U.S. Development Costs and included in the calculation of Annual U.S. Profit/Loss and (ii) to the extent that such activities relate to a Product in the Joint Development Territory other than a Co-Promoted Product, Development Costs reasonably allocable to such Product shall be shared equally in accordance with Section 2.7.1.

(c) Resumption of Development Cost Sharing. At any time prior to the First Commercial Sale in the Joint Development Territory of the Product to which Declined Activities relate, Ambit may at its sole discretion reverse its decision not to fund its share of the Development Costs with respect to a Declined Activity and shall promptly notify Astellas in writing of such decision. Astellas shall provide to Ambit a written detailed description and accounting of the Declined Development Costs borne solely by Astellas and incurred prior to the date of such written notice or the remaining balance if repayments have been made under Section 2.7.4(d) and Ambit shall promptly pay to Astellas an amount equal to […***…] of such aggregate costs and as of the date of such notice such activity shall no longer be a Declined Activity and the Parties shall share Development Costs with respect to such activity as set forth in Section 2.7.1.

(d) Repayment of Development Costs for Declined Activities. Starting from the date of the First Commercial Sale in any country in the Joint Development Territory of a Product to which Declined Development Activities relate, […***…], Astellas shall reduce the total amount due to Ambit hereunder with respect to sales of such Product during the applicable Calendar Year (whether in the form of Ambit’s portion of the U.S. Profit/Loss or royalty payments), by […***…]. If the portion of

***Confidential Treatment Requested

CONFIDENTIAL

the Declined Development Costs to be repaid in a given Calendar Year exceed the total U.S. Profit/Loss and royalty payments due to Ambit for such Calendar Year, then the unreimbursed portion of such Declined Development Costs shall carry forward into the next Calendar Year, and, as necessary, subsequent Calendar Years, until repaid. In connection with the calculation of amounts due to Ambit under Sections 4.3.6 and 4.4.2, Astellas shall provide to Ambit a detailed written description and accounting of such costs and the adjustments made to Annual U.S. Profit/Loss and/or royalty payments due to Ambit under this Agreement.

2.7.5

Cost Overruns and Discretionary Funding. If a Party believes that it shall need to incur Development Costs or Research Costs, to complete a particular task assigned to such Party in the Research Program or a Development Program, in excess of the budget allocated to such Party for such task in the Research Program or a Development Program (as applicable), such Party shall raise such cost-overrun issue with the JSC as soon as practicable, including the cause of such cost-overrun. The JSC shall discuss such issue promptly and determine if the cost-overrun would be caused by a matter outside such Party’s control, in which case the JSC shall amend the applicable budget to cover a reasonable amount of additional Development Cost or Research Cost to be incurred by such Party in completing such task. If the JSC determines in good faith that such cost-overrun would not be caused by a matter outside the Party’s control (that is, results or will result from such Party’s fault), then such Party shall be required to bear at its sole expense the extent of such cost-overrun (that is, the amount of costs beyond the established budget that are required to complete such task), and such cost-overrun costs shall not be included in the shared Development Costs or shared Research Costs. Further, a Party may, at its reasonable discretion, elect to incur and expend costs or expenses in conducting its activities under the Research Program or a Development Program that are in excess of the budget set forth therein, provided that such Party bears all such additional “discretionary” costs or expenses at its sole expense and does not include them in the shared Development Costs or Research Costs (unless otherwise agreed by the JSC or the other Party in writing). For clarity, the issue of cost-overruns, and the adjustment of any budget to address cost-overruns, shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 10.7 and shall not be subject to Astellas’s final decision-making at the JSC under Section 2.1.4.

The JCC’s responsibilities and authority shall be as follows:

(a) for each Co-Promoted Product, preparing and approving the Co-Promotion Plan for such Product, and all amendments and updates to such Co-Promotion Plan, with each such Co-Promotion Plan being consistent with the Co-Promotion Agreement applicable to the particular Co-Promoted Product (but subject to Astellas’s final decision-making authority with respect to any components of the Co-Promotion Plan other than the budgets included in such Co-Promotion Plan);

The JCC may meet in person, or by teleconference, videoconference or other similar means as requested by a Party (but provided that at least one meeting will be in person each Calendar Year). Information exchanged at JCC meetings and decisions reached by the JCC shall be recorded in minutes of the meetings. The chairperson of the JCC shall be responsible for preparing and circulating to the JCC members a draft of the minutes, for review and comment.

3.9.4

Decision Making. All decisions of the JCC require unanimous agreement of the Parties, with each Party having one (1) vote on all matters presented to the JCC for resolution or decision. The members of the JCC will attempt in good faith to reach consensus on all matters before the JCC. In the event that the JCC cannot, after such good-faith efforts, reach agreement on a matter within the jurisdiction of the JCC, including any adoption, amendment or update to a Co-Promotion Plan within […***…], the issue shall be elevated to a Executive Officer of each of Ambit and Astellas, to seek in good faith to reach agreement on the issue. Solely in the case of a dispute regarding the Direct Marketing/Promotion Expenses or the Indirect Marketing Expenses proposed to be included in the Co-Promotion Plan budget (or any proposed amendment or update thereto) (in each case, a “Proposed Expense Dispute”), the Parties shall exchange written proposals regarding the portion of the budget in dispute in advance of elevating such dispute to the Executive Officers. In the event such executives cannot resolve the issue after good-faith efforts within […***…], then (a) if the dispute is a Proposed Expense Dispute, either Party shall have the right to cause the Dispute to be resolved by expedited arbitration pursuant to Exhibit E, and (b) if the dispute concerns any other issue the issue shall be decided by Astellas, in its reasonable discretion but subject to Astellas’s obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts as set forth in Section 3.6.1 and taking into account the legitimate business issues of Ambit with respect to the issue. Astellas shall provide Ambit with a Decision Notice with respect to such decision, which decision shall be final and binding on the Parties. For clarity, in the event of a dispute concerning the Co-Promotion Plan budget which is resolved by expedited arbitration, Astellas may, but shall not be required to, perform the activities contemplated in its proposed Co-Promotion Plan budget, but the Direct Marketing/Promotion Expenses and Indirect Marketing Expenses incurred by Astellas during the Calendar Year covered by the disputed budget shall only be included in the calculation of the Annual U.S. Profit/Loss up to the amount of the Arbitrator-Determined Marketing Budget (as defined in Exhibit E), and such additional amounts shall be borne solely by Astellas.

(a) only one royalty shall be due to Ambit with respect to the same unit of Product sold;

(b) no royalties shall be due upon the sale or other transfer of Product among Astellas or its Related Parties, provided that such Product is subsequently resold to a Third Party purchaser (including a Distributor) in a transaction for which royalty shall be due and calculated upon Astellas’s or its Related Party’s Net Sales to such Third Party;

(c) no royalty shall accrue on the transfer of Product by Astellas or its Related Parties for use in a Clinical Trial, for free or nominal cost not to exceed the fully burdened cost of manufacturing the Product; and

In the event that Ambit exercises the Co-Promotion Option as to a Product, any such amounts due on sales of such Co-Promoted Product in the U.S. will constitute Allowed Expenses in the determination of Annual U.S. Profit/Loss.

4.3.5

Royalty Step-Downs.

(a) Compulsory Licenses. In the event that a court or a governmental agency of competent jurisdiction requires Ambit or any of its Affiliates or Astellas or any of its Related Parties to grant a compulsory license to a Third Party permitting such Third Party to make or sell a Product in a country in the Royalty Bearing Territory, then for the purposes of calculating the royalties due under Section 4.3 with respect to such Product in such country, the royalty rate on Net Sales of such Product in such country in the Royalty Bearing Territory in the applicable Calendar Year shall be the lesser of the rate under Section 4.3 and the rate at which such Third Party is obligated to pay royalties pursuant to such compulsory license (in either case, which rate shall be subject to other applicable adjustments under this Section 4.3.5).

(b) Generic Competition.

(i)

If there is commercial sale in a country in the Royalty Bearing Territory of any Generic Version of a Product being sold in such country, such commercial sale by any unauthorized Person other than Astellas or one of Astellas’s Related Parties, then […***…].

Ambit or AUS, as applicable, shall make the Co-Promotion Payment with respect to any Calendar Year (or, as applicable, any part thereof) within […***…] following delivery or receipt of the applicable Co-Promotion Payment report described in Section 4.4.1, as applicable. Except as set forth in Section 4.4.3, all such Co-Promotion Payments are non-refundable.

Promptly after such dispute is resolved, Ambit and AUS shall recalculate the Co-Promotion Payment (based on the total Net Sales and Allowed Expenses that are determined to have been incurred by AUS and Ambit during the subject Calendar Year, and taking into account the preliminary Co-Promotion Payment made by the applicable Party as above) and Ambit

***Confidential Treatment Requested

CONFIDENTIAL

accounting firm shall disclose to the auditing Party only whether the reports are correct or incorrect and the amount of any discrepancy. No other information shall be provided to the auditing Party. In the case of a reported discrepancy, the Audited Party shall continue to retain the relevant records until the discrepancy is resolved between the Parties.

4.6.2

Discrepancies. If such accounting firm identifies a discrepancy in any report made during the period audited leading to a discrepancy in payments required to be made under this Agreement, the appropriate Party shall pay the other Party the amount of the discrepancy within sixty (60) days of the date such accounting firm’s written report so concluding is delivered to the audited Party, plus interest thereon at the rate of the Prime Rate (as published by Xxxxxx’x or, if not available, by Bloomberg, L.P.) plus one percent (1%) per annum calculated based on the number of days elapsed from the date payment was originally due until the date payment is made. The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by the auditing Party, provided, however, that if such audit requires a payment by the audited Party that exceeds one hundred thousand dollars (US$100,000), then the fees of such accounting firm shall be paid by the audited Party.

4.6.3

4.6.5

Audit Confidentiality. Each Party shall treat all financial information subject to review under Section 4.6.1 or under any sublicense agreement in accordance with the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Agreement, and shall cause its accounting firm to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with the other Party and/or its Affiliates, or in the case of Astellas, its other Related Parties obligating it to retain such information in confidence and to refrain from using such information for any other purpose, in each case pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

4.7

Tax Cooperation.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Ambit shall provide Astellas any tax forms and other information that may be reasonably necessary in order for Astellas to not withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Ambit shall provide any such tax forms to Astellas at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for any payment for which Ambit desires that Astellas apply a reduced withholding rate. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Law, of withholding taxes, value added taxes, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax or value added tax.

4.8.3

Payment of Tax. To the extent Astellas is required by Applicable Law to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to Ambit, Astellas shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Ambit an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable Ambit to claim such payment of taxes.

4.8.4

Treatment of Certain Withholding Taxes. If Astellas is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to Ambit and such withholding obligation arises as a result of any action by Astellas that has the effect of modifying the tax treatment of the Parties hereto (including any assignment or sublicense, or any failure on the part of Astellas to comply with Applicable Law or filing or record retention requirements) (an “Astellas Withholding Tax Action”), then the sum payable by Astellas (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that Ambit actually receives the sum that it would have received had no such Astellas Withholding Tax Action occurred; provided, however, that no such increase shall apply to the extent such increase would have resulted (a) from a change in Applicable Law increasing the applicable withholding tax rate, which change occurs after the Effective Date, (b) in circumstances where actions or inactions of Ambit or any of its Affiliates cause a change in the applicable withholding tax rate, for example, the failure of Ambit to timely provide to Astellas the appropriate treaty forms and the certificate of residence necessary for Astellas to withhold at a more favorable rate or the assignment by Ambit to an Affiliate or Third Party of the right to receive any payments hereunder or (c) from the failure of Ambit to meet a limitation of benefits provision of the US/Japan Tax Treaty.

For purposes of this Section 5.2.1, each Third Party identified in Schedule 5.2.1 shall be referred to as a “Relevant Third Party,” and each agreement listed in Schedule 5.2.1 shall be referred to as a “Relevant Agreement.” For purposes of this Section 5.2.1, in the event that Ambit has failed to disclose in Schedule 5.2.1 any Third Party or related agreement that should have been disclosed in order to make the first sentence of this Section 5.2.1(b) true, correct and complete, Ambit shall notify Astellas thereof immediately upon such discovery or determination by Ambit and, whether or not such notice is provided, each such Third Party and each applicable agreement shall automatically be deemed to constitute a Relevant Third Party and a Relevant Agreement, respectively, as of the Effective Date. To Ambit’s Knowledge, except as specifically described on Schedule 5.2.1, none of any Relevant Third Party or any of its employees, agents, or representatives, or any Person to which any such Relevant Third Party has disclosed or otherwise granted access to any Ambit Compound, Ambit Technology, Regulatory Materials or Regulatory Approvals, or other proprietary materials or information of Ambit, has conceived, discovered, developed, generated or otherwise made any invention or other intellectual property in connection with activities under or permitted pursuant to the Relevant Agreement, and Ambit has not received notice of the conception, discovery, development, generation or making of any such invention or intellectual property.

There are no claims, judgments or settlements against or owed by Ambit with respect to, and there are no pending or, to Ambit’s Knowledge, overtly threatened, claims or litigation relating directly to the Ambit Technology, any Licensed Compound or Product or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Further, no Third Party has challenged the extent, validity or enforceability of any Patent Rights encompassed within the Ambit Licensed Patents (a) through the institution of legal proceedings, in a court or of interference, nullity, opposition or similar invalidity proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any analogous foreign entity or (b) to the Knowledge of Ambit following reasonably diligent inquiry, by written threat of institution of such proceedings.

5.2.3

Third-Party Activities. As of the Effective Date, to Ambit’s Knowledge, there is no actual infringement or overtly threatened infringement of the Ambit Licensed Patents by any Third Party (in the case of pending claims, evaluating them as if issued) or misappropriation of the Ambit Know-How.

5.2.4

No Third Party Payments. Other than as disclosed to Astellas in writing, to Ambit’s Knowledge, it does not owe to any Third Party any royalty or other payments based on the development or commercialization of Licensed Compounds or Products as licensed herein.

5.2.5

No Knowledge of Invalidity. After performance of an investigation, Ambit is not aware of any prior art or other facts based on which it has concluded that the Ambit Licensed Patents existing as of the Effective Date are likely, or in the case of any pending claims of Ambit Licensed Patents, if issued, would likely be, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. In respect of United States Patent applications included in the Ambit Licensed Patents, to its Knowledge, Ambit has presented all relevant prior art of which it and the inventors are aware to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

5.2.6

Non-infringement of Third Party Rights. To Ambit’s Knowledge, the conception, development and reduction to practice of any inventions and the use or development of any other Information within the Ambit Technology, and any and all Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Approvals submitted to or filed with a Regulatory Authority by Ambit or any of its Affiliates, have not constituted or involved the misappropriation of trade secrets or other rights or property of any Third Party. To Ambit’s Knowledge, the Exploitation by Astellas or any Related Parties after the Effective Date of AC220 and the Lead Product throughout the Territory or the use or practice the Ambit Technology and the Regulatory Materials as contemplated in this Agreement will not infringe any patent applications or patents owned or controlled by a Third Party (in the case of pending claims, evaluating them as if issued). Ambit has not received any written notice from a Third Party asserting or alleging any of the foregoing.

CONFIDENTIAL

5.2.7

Disclosure. Ambit has heretofore disclosed or made available to Astellas (a) all material scientific and technical information known to Ambit or its Affiliates relating to (i) the safety, toxicity and efficacy of AC220 and the Lead Product, including the results of all material nonclinical studies (which include all nonclinical ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) studies, safety pharmacology studies and toxicology studies) conducted by or on behalf of Ambit or any of its Affiliates, and of all Clinical Trials with respect to the foregoing, and (ii) the drug quality, including stability, variability, impurities and delivery performance, of AC220 and the Lead Product and (b) all material Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Approvals submitted to, or filed with, or listed by a Regulatory Authority and the status of all material discussions with Regulatory Authorities, in each case, in respect of AC220 or the Lead Product.

5.2.8

Adverse Information. No serious adverse event information resulting from Clinical Trials has come to the attention of Ambit or any of its Affiliates with respect to AC220 or the Lead Product that is materially different with respect to the incidence, severity or nature of such serious adverse events than the information that was filed as safety updates to any Regulatory Materials or Regulatory Approvals, and all written data summaries that were included in any Regulatory Materials or Regulatory Approvals based on Clinical Trials conducted or sponsored by Ambit or any of its Affiliates accurately summarize in all material respects the raw data underlying such summaries.

5.2.9

INDs in Good Standing. Ambit has not received any written notice that indicates that any of the INDs for AC220 or the Lead Product are not currently in good standing with the FDA or other Regulatory Authority.

5.2.10

Disclosures and Submissions to Regulatory Authorities. As of the Effective Date, Ambit has prepared, maintained and retained all Regulatory Materials that are required to be maintained or reported pursuant to and in accordance with Applicable Law, and to Ambit’s Knowledge all such information is true, complete and correct and what it purports to be. Neither Ambit nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of its or their respective officers, employees, or agents has made an untrue statement of material fact or fraudulent statement to the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority with respect to the development of AC220 or the Lead Product, failed to disclose a material fact required to be disclosed to the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority with respect to the development of AC220 or the Lead Product, or committed an act, made a statement, or failed to make a statement to the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority with respect to the development of AC220 or the Lead Product that could reasonably be expected to provide a basis for the FDA to invoke its policy respecting “Fraud, Untrue Statements of Material Facts, Bribery, and Illegal Gratuities”, set forth in 56 Fed. Reg. 46191 (September 10, 1991) and any amendments thereto. Ambit is not aware of any facts or other information that is likely to adversely affect the acceptance, or the subsequent approval, by any Regulatory Authority of any filing, application or request for Regulatory Approval, or that would otherwise materially adversely affect the scientific or therapeutic potential of AC220 or the Lead Product, provided that the representation and warranty contained in this sentence is not intended and shall not be construed to cover facts and information that Ambit can demonstrate were disclosed to Astellas in writing prior to the Effective Date.

5.2.11

Conduct of Development. Ambit has conducted, or has caused its contractors and consultants to conduct, any and all preclinical and clinical studies related to the

CONFIDENTIAL

Compounds and Licensed Products in accordance with good laboratory and clinical practice as and where appropriate, and Applicable Law.

5.2.12

US/Japan Tax Treaty. Ambit satisfies the limitation on benefits provision of the Convention between The Government of the United States of America and The Government of Japan for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income (“US/Japan Tax Treaty”).

5.2.13

No Government Funding. The Exploitation prior to the Effective Date of AC220 and the Lead Product has occurred and been conducted outside of any government-funded project, and none of AC220, the Lead Product, or any Ambit Technology is or will be subject to 37 C.F.R. Parts 401 and 404 or any foreign equivalent.

5.2.14

HSR. With reference to the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18a, and the Coverage Rules promulgated thereunder, 16 C.F.R. § 801, according to Ambit’s last regularly prepared balance sheet, […***…]. In addition, according to Ambit’s last regularly prepared annual statement of income and expenses, which included the income and expenses of Ambit and of all entities included within Ambit, the total income earned by Ambit and by all entities included within Ambit did not […***…]. Further, Ambit is not “a person engaged in manufacturing” as that term is defined in the Coverage Rules, 16 C.F.R. § 801.1(j).

Ambit shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such recoveries.

5.4

6.	CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1

Restricted Information. Ambit recognizes that by reason of Astellas’s status as an exclusive licensee pursuant to the grants under Section 3.1, Astellas has an interest in Ambit’s retention in confidence of Ambit Know-How, Ambit Program Know-How and Joint Program Know-How that relates directly to the Licensed Compounds or Products. Accordingly, until the expiration of Astellas’s exclusive license in all countries with respect to each Licensed Compound and Product under Section 3.3.1, Ambit shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents to, keep completely confidential, and not publish or otherwise disclose to any Third Party (except as expressly permitted under this Agreement), and not use for any purpose other than as permitted or contemplated in this Agreement, any specific Ambit Know-How, Ambit Program Know-How or Joint Program Know-How that comprises or relates directly to any Licensed Compound or Product, or the Exploitation thereof, including data and results of Clinical Trials and nonclinical studies with respect to any Licensed Compound or Product (whether conducted prior to or during the Term), or any Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Approvals with respect thereto (the “Restricted Information”); provided, however, that the “Restricted Information” shall not include any Information to the extent (a) such Information is in the public domain through no fault of Ambit, its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, (b) such Information relates broadly to Ambit’s technology and/or other compounds or products that are not Licensed Compounds (or the discovery, research, characterization, manufacture, or use thereof) and has substantial utility for purposes outside of the exclusive rights licensed to Astellas under this Agreement; (c) disclosure or use of the Information by Ambit would be expressly permitted under Section 6.2.2; or (d) disclosure or use of the Information by Ambit is otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement. For clarification, the disclosure by Ambit to Astellas of Restricted Information shall not cause such information to cease to be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1. In the event this Agreement is terminated in its entirety by Astellas

***Confidential Treatment Requested

CONFIDENTIAL

pursuant to Section 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4 or by Ambit pursuant to Section 9.3 or 9.4, this Section 6.1 (other than this final sentence) shall terminate and have no continuing force or effect and the Restricted Information (other than (i) the Joint Program Know-How included therein and (ii) the Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Approvals included therein to the extent that such Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Materials are not assigned to Ambit pursuant to Section 9.6.1(f) or 9.6.2(c)) shall thereafter be deemed solely to be Confidential Information of Ambit, for purposes of the surviving provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the obligations of Section 6.2.1, an Obligated Party shall be permitted to disclose specific Confidential Information of the other Party (or Restricted Information, in the case of Ambit as the Obligated Party) to the extent such disclosure is required by judicial or administrative process, provided that such Party promptly informs the other Party of the disclosure requirement, reasonably cooperates with any efforts by the other Party to challenge or limit the disclosure obligations, and discloses only such Confidential Information or Restricted Information as is (after any such efforts) required to be disclosed. Any such Confidential Information or Restricted Information that is disclosed pursuant to such judicial or administrative process shall remain otherwise subject to the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Section 6.2, and the Party disclosing Confidential Information or Restricted Information pursuant to law or court order shall take all steps reasonably necessary, including without limitation seeking an order of confidentiality, to ensure the continued confidential treatment of such information.

6.3

Publication

Astellas and Ambit each acknowledge the other Party’s interest in publishing and presenting the results of its research in order to obtain recognition within the scientific community and to advance the state of scientific knowledge. However, any publication or presentation of Confidential Information (of the other Party), Joint Program Know-How, and/or any information arising from the Development Program or Research Program shall be solely by written agreement of the Parties. Each Party also recognizes the mutual interest in obtaining valid patent protection and in protecting business interests and trade secret information. Consequently, except for disclosures permitted pursuant to Section 6.2.2, either Party, its employees or consultants wishing to make a publication or presentation containing Confidential Information (of the other Party), Joint Program Know-How, and/or any information arising from the Development Program or Research Program shall deliver to the other Party a copy of the proposed written publication or an outline of an oral disclosure at least […***…] prior to submission for publication or presentation. The reviewing Party shall have the right (a) to propose modifications to the publication or presentation for patent reasons, trade secret reasons or business reasons and/or (b) to request a reasonable delay in

***Confidential Treatment Requested

CONFIDENTIAL

publication or presentation in order to protect patentable information. If the reviewing Party requests a delay, the publishing Party shall delay submission or presentation for a period of […***…] to enable patent applications protecting each Party’s rights in such Confidential Information to be filed in accordance with Article 8 below. Upon expiration of such […***…], the publishing Party shall be free to proceed with the publication or presentation provided the publishing Party has obtained written confirmation from the reviewing Party that such patent applications have been filed. If the reviewing Party requests modifications to the publication or presentation, the publishing Party shall edit such publication or presentation to prevent disclosure of trade secret or proprietary business information of the reviewing Party prior to submission of the publication or presentation. If a publication or presentation by Astellas or an Astellas Affiliate results from work performed by Ambit or relating to the Ambit Technology or the Development Program or the Research Program, Astellas and/or its Affiliates agrees to acknowledge Ambit and give credit to Ambit’s scientists, as scientifically appropriate, based on any contribution they may have made to the work, subject to the approval of Ambit. Likewise, if a publication or presentation by Ambit results from work performed by Astellas and/or its Affiliates or the Development Program or the Research Program, Ambit agrees to acknowledge Astellas and/or its Affiliates and give credit to Astellas’s or Astellas Affiliates’ scientists, as scientifically appropriate, based on any contribution they may have made to the work, subject to the approval of Astellas. Further, Astellas would have a right to publish the results and summaries of the Clinical Trials, observational or meta-analysis studies relating to the Product on a clinical trial register maintained by Astellas, clinical trial agreements, and the protocols of Clinical Trials relating to Product on xxx.XxxxxxxxXxxxxx.xxx (or similar forum) (or as otherwise required by Astellas’s policies). Without any limitation of any other term or condition of this Agreement, Ambit would co-operate with Astellas in such effort, including reasonable efforts to provide Astellas with the protocols, results, data and other information relating all Clinical Trials conducted by Ambit on a Product.

Certain Third Party Claims.

The Parties shall share equally any Collaboration Program Damages (as defined below). With respect to any Collaboration Program Damages incurred by a Party (or any of its Indemnified Persons) during the Term, such Collaboration Program Damages shall be deemed to constitute (and shall be included in) Research Costs, Development Costs or Allowed Expenses, as applicable (and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to allocate such amount(s) to the appropriate cost category). After the Term, each Party shall reimburse the other Party for fifty percent (50%) of any Collaboration Program Damages incurred by such Party (or any of its Indemnified Persons) no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of reasonable documentation evidencing such amounts. If either Party receives notice of a Third Party Claim that arises from or is based on any Collaboration Program Activities, such party shall inform the other Party in writing as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Parties shall discuss and agree upon a strategy on how to defend against such Third Party Claim.

For purposes of this Article 7, “Collaboration Program Activities” means any activities with respect to a Licensed Compound or Product conducted by either Party or any of its Affiliates, sublicensees or subcontractors at any time on or after the Effective Date during the Term consisting of (a) research or development for the purpose of, or in support of, (i) obtaining, maintaining or expanding Regulatory Approval in the U.S. or EU or (ii) commercialization of any Product in the U.S. or EU, in each case ((i) and (ii)) pursuant to any Research Plan or Development Plan, (b) commercialization of any Co-Promoted Product in the Co-Promotion Territory during the Co-Promotion Term, (c) Medical Affairs Activities with respect to any Co-Promoted Product in the Co-Promotion Territory during the Co-Promotion Term or (d) for clarity, the manufacture of any Product (including any intermediate thereof or any Licensed Compound or other material contained therein) for use in any activities under clause (a), (b) or (c).

7.5

Insurance

Each Party shall, and shall cause its sublicensees (including Sublicensees) and its and their respective Affiliates to, have and maintain liability insurance, which in Astellas’s case may be in the form of self-insurance, covering the manufacture, use and sale of the Products in a manner consistent with industry standards, but in any event including product liability insurance with respect to the Products. Ambit shall maintain the following limits of such coverage: (a) not less than […***…] in coverage in the aggregate as of the Effective Date; (b) subject to clause (c), not less than […***…] in coverage in the aggregate as of the date of First Commercial Sale of the first Product in the Territory; and (c) not less than […***…] in coverage in the aggregate as of the date of First Commercial Sale of the first Product in the Co-Promotion Territory with respect to which Ambit has exercised the Co-Promotion Option.

Ambit shall list Astellas as an additional insured and loss payee on such policies of Ambit and ensure that such policies provide that Astellas shall be given thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of the termination thereof. Such policies or programs of self-insurance shall remain in effect throughout the Term and for a period of […***…] thereafter (with the limits required to be in effect as of the last day of the Term maintained during such […***…] period) and shall not be cancelled or subject to a reduction of coverage without the prior written authorization of the other Party. Maintenance of such insurance coverage shall not relieve a Party of any responsibility under this Agreement for damages in excess of insurance limits or otherwise.

Rights to Newly-Acquired IP.

8.2.1

Disclosure. If after the Effective Date, Ambit (or its Affiliate) desires to acquire or in-license from a Third Party specific Patent Rights or proprietary Information that Ambit believes would fall within the scope of the definition of Ambit Licensed Patents or Ambit Know-How, as applicable, and for which Ambit will owe such Third Party consideration for such acquisition or in-license, and/or will owe such Third Party consideration based on use or practice of such Patent Rights or proprietary Information with respect to one or more Products (collectively, “Newly-Acquired IP Rights”), then Ambit shall (a) inform Astellas in writing of the proposed terms of such in-license or acquisition and the costs of which Ambit proposes to share pursuant to this Section 8.2, (b) keep Astellas reasonably informed of the negotiations with such Third Party and (c) consider in good faith Astellas’s reasonable comments on such terms and negotiations to the extent relating to rights that could be sublicensed to Astellas hereunder. If Ambit (or its Affiliate) acquires or in-licenses from such Third Party any Newly-Acquired IP Rights then such Newly-Acquired IP Rights shall automatically be included in the Ambit Technology (absent a rejection as provided in Section 8.2.2 below). Ambit shall promptly disclose to Astellas: (i) such Newly-Acquired IP Rights, (ii) the reasonable allocation of any upfront consideration paid by Ambit (or its Affiliate) to such Third Party for the acquisition or in-license (as applicable) of such Newly-Acquired IP Rights, to the use or practice thereof with respect to Products, and (iii) the actual consideration that Ambit will be required to pay such Third Party if Ambit licenses (or sublicenses, as applicable) such Newly-Acquired IP Rights to Astellas under this Agreement and such Newly-Acquired IP Rights are used or practiced with respect to the development, manufacture, use, import, offer for sale or sale of Product(s) by Astellas or its Related Parties.

8.3

Patent Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance.

8.3.1

Control Over Prosecution.

(a) Ambit Licensed Patents. Subject to the remainder of this Section 8.3, Astellas shall, at its cost and expense (except as otherwise provided below), either itself or through the use of outside counsel selected by Astellas and reasonably acceptable to Ambit, direct and control the Prosecution of all Ambit Licensed Patents, in collaboration and consultation with Ambit as provided below. If Ambit exercises the Co-Promotion Option as to a particular Product, then with respect to any Ambit Licensed Patents in the United States that claim such Co-Promoted Product or a method of use or manufacture of such Co-Promoted Product, the Parties shall after such election share equally the costs and expenses of Astellas’s Prosecution of such Ambit Licensed Patents in the U.S., by such costs and expenses being treated as Allowed Expenses. In addition, any such Ambit Licensed Patents that are treated as Allowed Expenses shall be deemed “Shared Cost Patents” for purposes of Section 8.3.5.

(b) Astellas Program Patents. Subject to the remainder of this Section 8.3, Astellas shall, at its cost and expense, either itself or through the use of outside counsel selected by Astellas and reasonably acceptable to Ambit, direct and control the Prosecution of all Astellas Program Patents, in collaboration and consultation with Ambit as provided below.

(c) Ambit Program Patents and Joint Program Patents. Subject to the remainder of this Section 8.3, Ambit shall, either itself or through the use of outside counsel selected by Ambit and reasonably acceptable to Astellas, direct and control the Prosecution of all Ambit Program Patents, in collaboration and consultation with Astellas as provided below. Promptly after the Parties identify a potentially patentable invention within the Joint Program Know-How, the Parties shall discuss whether to file a Joint Program Patent claiming such invention, and if so which Party shall take the lead in directing and controlling the Prosecution of such Joint Program Patent. Astellas shall generally have the first right to control Prosecution of Joint Program Patents; provided, however, that Astellas shall consider in good faith any request by Ambit to control Prosecution, taking into account the subject matter of the Joint Program Patent at issue and its similarity or difference from the Ambit Licensed Patents and each Party’s respective Program Patents. For each Joint Program Patent that the Parties agree to file, the Lead Prosecuting Party (as defined below) therefor shall direct and control the Prosecution of the Joint Program Patent (in all countries where the Parties agree to file such applications), using outside patent counsel mutually agreeable to the Parties, and in collaboration and consultation with the other Party. Subject to the opt-out provisions below, the Parties shall bear equally all reasonable costs and expenses of obtaining and maintaining the Joint Program Patents and the Ambit Program Patents (the “Shared Cost Patents”) during the Term, including reasonable fees and expenses paid to outside legal counsel and experts. Within thirty (30) days following the end of a Calendar Quarter, the Lead Prosecuting Party for any of the Shared Cost Patents shall provide to the other Party an invoice setting forth the costs and expenses (with detail showing the basis for all such charges) of the Prosecution it conducts on such Patents, and the other Party shall reimburse the Lead Prosecuting Party for one-half of such costs and expenses, within sixty (60) days of the invoice.

CONFIDENTIAL

8.3.2

Prosecution Activities. With respect to the Ambit Licensed Patents and the Program Patents, the Party with the first right to control Prosecution of Patent Rights as set forth in Section 8.3.1(a) through (c) (the “Lead Prosecuting Party”) shall direct and control the Prosecution of such Patent Rights, including the preparation, filing and prosecution of all U.S. and foreign patent applications within such Patent Rights, and the conduct of any interferences, reexaminations, reissues and foreign oppositions relating to such Patent Rights (as further discussed in Section 8.3.7 below).

8.3.3

Cooperation. During Prosecution of the Ambit Licensed Patents or Program Patents, as applicable, the non-Lead Prosecuting Party shall cooperate fully with the Lead Prosecuting Party and provide reasonable assistance to such efforts, at the Lead Prosecuting Party’s request, including signing any necessary or appropriate documents; providing written and testimonial evidence; and providing the Lead Prosecuting Party with other reasonable assistance as appropriate.

8.3.4

Right to Participate. Throughout the Prosecution of Ambit Licensed Patents and Program Patents, the Lead Prosecuting Party shall consult with the other Party and seek such other Party’s input regarding such Prosecution efforts. Such consultation shall include the Lead Prosecuting Party providing the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Prosecution efforts regarding the applicable Ambit Licensed Patents or Program Patents, including by providing to such other Party copies of all material communications from any patent authority in the Territory regarding such patent applications, and by providing drafts of any responses and any material filings to be made to such patent authorities reasonably in advance of submitting such responses or filings, and reasonably discussing any comments made by such non-Lead Prosecuting Party regarding such Prosecution efforts and in good faith seeking to accommodate all reasonable comments made by such non-Lead Prosecuting Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lead Prosecuting Party will remain responsible for final decisions regarding such Prosecution, after such consultation with such other Party.

8.3.5

Option to “Step-in” to Prosecute and Maintain Patent Rights.

(a) If the Lead Prosecuting Party, at any time, determines that it shall cease Prosecution of any particular Patent Rights as to which it is the Lead Prosecuting Party pursuant to Section 8.3.1 (on a country-by-country basis in the Territory), including as to any particular claims in such Patent Rights, then such Party shall give written notice to the other Party of such determination (such notice to be given at least sixty (60) days prior to any deadline for filing or providing a response which would cause such Patent Rights to lapse or be abandoned), and, in such case, shall permit the other Party, at its sole discretion, to continue Prosecution of such Patent Rights at its sole expense (unless the Lead Prosecuting Party is ceasing such Prosecution in favor of other Patent Rights for strategic reasons that will likely benefit the over all patent protection for a Product). If the other Party so elects to continue Prosecution of the applicable patent, it shall become the “Lead Prosecuting Party” with respect thereto, and the Party that is declining such Prosecution efforts shall execute such documents and perform such acts as reasonably necessary to permit the undertaking Party to continue such Prosecution on the Parties’ behalf, in a timely manner. In addition, either Party may, at any time, give notice to the other Party of its election to cease sharing costs with respect to the Prosecution and maintenance of a Shared Cost Patent and, in such case, the costs incurred with respect to such patent after the date of such disclaimer shall thereafter be borne exclusively by the other Party, without reimbursement or credit.

CONFIDENTIAL

(b) If the Lead Prosecuting Party elects to discontinue Prosecution of Patent Rights or, with respect to the Shared Cost Patents, either Party elects to cease sharing the costs of Prosecution (such Party, the “Disclaiming Party”) then upon the other Party’s request, the Disclaiming Party shall assign all of its rights, title and interest in any such Patent Rights (for clarity, in which the Disclaiming Party has an ownership interest) at no cost to the non-disclaiming Party. If Astellas elects to cease funding a Shared Cost Patent or elects to cease funding the cost of Prosecution of an Ambit Licensed Patent that is not a Shared Cost Patent, then such Patent Rights shall thereafter be excluded from the license grants to Astellas in Section 3.1.1; provided, however, that upon written notice to Ambit at any time during the Term, Astellas may elect to include such disclaimed Shared Cost Patents or disclaimed Ambit Licensed Patent in the license grants hereunder by paying Ambit […***…] of the total cost of Prosecuting and maintaining such Patent Rights that were solely borne by Ambit.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (b), in the case of a Shared Cost Patent or Ambit Licensed Patent, if the Lead Prosecuting Party elects to cease Prosecution of such patent, but is still willing, in the case of the Shared Cost Patents, to continue to share the cost of Prosecuting and maintaining such Patent Rights, or in the case of the Ambit Licensed Patents that are not Shared Cost Patents, to continue to bear the cost of Prosecuting and maintaining such Patent Rights, then such Party shall permit the other Party, in its sole discretion, to continue Prosecution of such Patent Rights. The Parties shall continue to treat such Patent Rights as Shared Cost Patents or Ambit Licensed Patents, as applicable, under this Agreement and the consequences in Section 8.3.5(b) shall not apply.

8.3.6

Review of Patent Estate. From time to time as reasonably requested by either Party, Ambit and Astellas shall jointly review the entire patent estate comprising the Ambit Technology and the Program Technology including the current status of the estate and plans for the estate in the then foreseeable future, and shall discuss in good faith the patent strategy for such estate with the goal of efficiently maximizing the patent protection for Products.

8.3.7

Interference, Opposition, Reexamination and Reissue

(a) Either Party shall, within ten (10) days of learning of such event, inform the other Party of any request for, or filing or declaration of, any interference, opposition or reexamination relating to Ambit Licensed Patents, Ambit Program Patents or Joint Program Patents. The Lead Prosecution Party for such patent shall determine a reasonable course of action with respect to any such proceeding, provided that such Party shall consider in good faith the views of the other Party with respect to such proceeding. All responses to or defense against any such request or filing shall be included within the Prosecution efforts above.

(b) Astellas shall not initiate any reexamination, interference or reissue proceeding relating to the Ambit Licensed Patents, Ambit Program Patents or Joint Program Patents without first consulting with Ambit and considering its views on the matter. Ambit shall not initiate any reexamination, interference or reissue proceeding relating to Ambit Licensed Patents, Ambit Program Patents or Joint Program Patents without the prior written consent of Astellas, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

***Confidential Treatment Requested

CONFIDENTIAL

(c) In connection with any interference, opposition, reissue or reexamination proceeding relating to Ambit Licensed Patents, Ambit Program Patents or Joint Program Patents, Astellas and Ambit will cooperate fully and will provide each other with any information or assistance that either may reasonably request. The Parties shall keep each other informed of developments in any such action or proceeding, including, to the extent permissible by law, consultation and approval of any settlement, the status of any settlement negotiations and the terms of any offer related thereto.

(d) Expenses with respect to any interference, opposition, reexamination or reissue proceeding relating to the Ambit Licensed Patents, Ambit Program Patents or Joint Program Patents shall be borne in the same manner as expenses for the Prosecution efforts with respect to such patents, as set forth above.

8.3.8

Invalidity or Unenforceability Defenses or Actions.

In the event that a Third Party or Sublicensee asserts, as a defense or as a counterclaim in any infringement action under Section 8.4.1, that any Ambit Licensed Patent or Program Patent is invalid or unenforceable, then the Party pursuing such infringement action shall promptly give written notice to the other Party. Where such allegation is made in an opposition, reexamination, interference or other patent office proceeding, the provisions of Section 8.3.7 shall apply. Where such allegation is made in a counterclaim to a suit or other action brought under Section 8.4.1, the Party with the first right to enforce the Patent Rights at issue shall have the first right to respond to such defense or defend against such counterclaim (as applicable) and the provisions of Section 8.4.1 (including step-in rights and control over settlement) shall apply. In all other cases, including any declaratory judgment action or similar action or claim filed by a Third Party asserting that any Ambit Licensed Patent or Program Patent is invalid or unenforceable, Astellas shall have the first right to defend such action, at Astellas’s expense, and Ambit will cooperate with Astellas, at Astellas’s expense in such defense. In the event Astellas does not so elect to defend an action with respect to any Ambit Licensed Patent or Program Patent under this Section 8.3.8, it shall so notify Ambit in writing, and Ambit shall have the right to so defend such action, at Ambit’s expense; provided, however, that Ambit shall obtain the written consent of Astellas prior to ceasing to defend, settling or otherwise compromising such defense or counterclaim if such action is likely to materially adversely affect Astellas’s interests in the applicable Ambit Licensed Patent or Program Patent or rights under this Agreement. Each Party shall provide to the Party defending any such rights under this Section 8.3.8 all reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such defending Party’s request and expense. The defending Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such efforts, and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts.

8.4

Infringement Actions

8.4.1

Prosecution of Infringement

(a) The Parties shall promptly notify one another in writing of any and all (i) actual or threatened infringements by Third Parties of the Ambit Licensed Patents or Program Patents (in each case, a “Third Party Infringement”) known to either of them, and in any event within thirty (30) days of learning of such infringement or (ii) any misappropriation or misuse of any Ambit Know-How, Joint Program Know-How or Ambit Program Know-How known to them.

CONFIDENTIAL

(b) With respect to actual or threatened Third Party Infringement of the Ambit Licensed Patents, or the Program Patents (a “Field Infringement”), Astellas shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to file suit or take other appropriate action to cause the cessation of such Field Infringement of any such Patent Rights. To the extent Astellas takes such action, Astellas shall control such action, at Astellas’s sole expense, but shall not enter into settlements, stipulated judgments or other arrangements respecting such infringement without Ambit’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. If Astellas takes such action against a Field Infringement, Astellas shall indemnify, defend and hold Ambit harmless from all related costs, expenses and liabilities respecting any such actions against claimed infringement in accordance with and to the extent required pursuant to its indemnification obligations in Article 7. Ambit shall permit an action to be brought by Astellas in Ambit’s name if required by law and shall join such action as a party plaintiff if required to perfect or maintain jurisdiction to pursue such action. Ambit agrees to provide, at Astellas’s expense, all reasonable assistance that Astellas may reasonably require in any such action, including providing written evidence, deposition and trial testimony, for which Astellas shall pay to Ambit a reasonable hourly rate of compensation.

(c) Astellas shall notify Ambit in writing of its intention with regard to any such Third Party Infringement promptly after it has notice of such infringement. In the event that Astellas does not within one hundred twenty (120) days of notice of such Third Party Infringement initiate, and thereafter continue to diligently pursue, appropriate actions to cause the cessation of such Third Party Infringement (or earlier notifies Ambit in writing of its intent not to take such actions), then as of the expiration of such one hundred twenty (120) day period or earlier notice, Ambit shall have the right to take all actions it deems appropriate against such Third Party Infringement, in which case Ambit shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred in such action. Astellas agrees to provide all reasonable assistance that Ambit may reasonably require in any such action or litigation, including providing written evidence, deposition and trial testimony, for which Ambit shall pay to Astellas a reasonable hourly rate of compensation.

(d) Any recovery obtained by either or both Astellas and Ambit in connection with or as a result of any action contemplated by this Section 8.4.1, whether by settlement or otherwise, shall be shared in order as follows:

(i)

The Party which initiated and prosecuted the action shall recoup all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action;

(ii)

The other Party shall then, to the extent possible, recover its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action (to the extent not already reimbursed); and

(iii)

[…***…].

***Confidential Treatment Requested

CONFIDENTIAL

Ambit shall inform Astellas of any certification regarding any Ambit Licensed Patents or Program Patents it has received pursuant to either 21 U.S.C. §§355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or (j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) or its successor provisions or any similar provisions in a country in the Territory other than the United States and shall provide Astellas with a copy of such certification within two (2) days or receipt. Ambit’s and Astellas’s rights with respect to the initiation and prosecution of any legal action as a result of such certification or any recovery obtained as a result of such legal action shall be as defined in Sections 8.4.1 (a)-(d) hereof, provided that within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of such certification Astellas shall advise Ambit as to whether or not Astellas expects to prosecute such infringement.

8.4.2

Defense of Infringement Claims

(a) If a Third Party makes or threatens against Astellas, its Related Parties and/or Ambit and its Affiliates any claim of infringement of a Patent Right owned or controlled by such Third Party based upon the manufacture, use, offer for sale or sale of a Licensed Compound or Product (each, an “Alleged Infringement”), Astellas shall have the right to respond to and/or defend any and all such Alleged Infringements at its own cost and expense, and in its sole discretion, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.4.2. Ambit agrees to provide any necessary assistance that Astellas may reasonably require in any such defense action for which Astellas shall pay to Ambit a reasonable hourly rate of compensation for such assistance. To the extent that any such Alleged Infringement is against Ambit or its Affiliates, if Astellas elects to respond to or defend such Alleged Infringement claim against Ambit, it must do so in a timely manner so as not to prejudice Ambit’s ability to defend itself and avoid suffering any default judgments, and such Infringement Claim shall constitute a Third Party Claim for which Astellas has the obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless in accordance with and to the extent required pursuant to its indemnification obligations in Article 7. Ambit shall have the right, at its own expense, to retain counsel of its choice (but subject to Astellas’s right to control the defense if it has elected to do so as above).

(b) Astellas shall promptly notify Ambit in writing and provide a copy of (i) any claim of Alleged Infringement filed with a court or Governmental Authority or (ii) any written notice of an Alleged Infringement. Within a reasonable period of time in advance of any responsive deadline required by law or otherwise set forth in the claim or notice, Astellas shall notify Ambit in writing as to whether or not Astellas intends to respond to and defend each such Alleged Infringement. In the event that Astellas does not provide such notice of its intent to respond to and defend any such claim or notice of an Alleged Infringement against Ambit or any of its Affiliates (or fails to provide such response and defense in good faith) Ambit shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to respond to such Alleged Infringement, in which case Ambit shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by Ambit in such action (except as is otherwise provided in Section 7.2) to date.

(c) Costs and Expenses. If Astellas responds to and defends any Alleged Infringement under this Section 8.4.2, the following amounts may be offset against the milestone payments payable under Section 4.2, royalties payable under Section 4.3 or Annual U.S. Profit/Loss payments pursuant to Section 4.4:

(i)

fifty percent (50%) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Astellas in responding to or defending against such suit in which Astellas or its Affiliates or Sublicensees are found liable for infringement;

CONFIDENTIAL

(ii)

fifty percent (50%) of all damages or costs awarded against Astellas under Section 8.4.2 based on the finding of infringement such suit; and

(iii)

fifty percent (50%) of all royalties and other payments that Astellas is ordered to or agrees to pay to a Third Party in order to secure the license rights under Third Party Patent Rights at issue in the litigation to continue the Exploitation of a Licensed Compound or Product; provided, that any amounts offset or credited pursuant to this subsection 8.4.2(c)(iii) shall not also be used in reducing or adjusting royalties pursuant to Section 4.3.4.

Any payments or offsets made under this Section 8.4.2(c) shall be without prejudice to any other remedies Astellas may have under this Agreement or otherwise. Any amounts recovered by Astellas in connection with any action, claim or suit under Section 8.4.2 shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 8.4.1(d).

8.5

Patent Term Restoration

The Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in obtaining, and shall discuss reasonably and in good faith, patent term restoration or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in any country in the Territory where applicable to the Ambit Licensed Patents or Program Patents. In the event that elections with respect to obtaining such patent term restoration are to be made, Astellas shall have the right to make the election and Ambit agrees to abide by such election.

8.6

Orange Book Listing

The Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and discuss in good faith, as to any particular Product, what Patent Rights should be listed in the “Orange Book” and other similar national (or supranational) equivalents thereto. Astellas shall have the sole right, after good faith reasonable discussion with Ambit, to make all filings with the Regulatory Authorities with respect to Ambit Licensed Patents and Program Patents and Astellas Patents in connection with required regulatory activities for Products, including as required or allowed in connection with: (i) in the United States, the FDA’s Orange Book and (ii) outside the United States, under the national implementations of Article 10.1(a)(iii) of Directive 2001/EC/83 or other international equivalents. Ambit shall, at Astellas’s expense, (A) provide to Astellas all Information in Ambit’s Control, including a correct and complete list of Ambit Licensed Patents and Ambit Program Patents covering any Product or otherwise necessary or reasonably useful to enable Astellas to make such filings with Regulatory Authorities with respect to the Products, and (B) cooperate with Astellas’s reasonable requests in connection therewith, including meeting any submission deadlines, in each case, to extent required or permitted by Applicable Law. Astellas shall notify Ambit in writing of any such filings with the Regulatory Authorities with respect to the Ambit Licensed Patents or the Program Patents.

8.7

Registration of Licenses.

Astellas may, at its sole discretion and at its own expense, register the exclusive and other licenses granted to it under this Agreement with the patent office or any other competent authorities in any country of the Territory in accordance with the Applicable Laws in such country, and Ambit shall, promptly upon Astellas’s request, provide Astellas with assistance necessary for such registration, including applying for such

CONFIDENTIAL

registration for Astellas and signing all necessary documents. Astellas will provide Ambit with a list and description, updated as appropriate, of the licenses it registers pursuant to this Section 8.7.

8.8

Trademarks

Astellas shall be responsible for the selection, registration, maintenance and defense of all trademarks for use in connection with the sale or marketing of any Product in the Territory and Astellas shall own all such trademarks. Astellas’s registration, maintenance and defense of any trademarks for Product in the Royalty Bearing Territory shall be at Astellas’s own cost and expense. Astellas’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with registering, maintaining and defending any trademarks for the Co-Promoted Products in the U.S. shall be Allowed Expenses. Astellas will provide Ambit with a list and description, updated as appropriate, of the trademarks it registers pursuant to this Section 8.8.

9.	TERM AND TERMINATION

9.1

Term and Expiration

This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier in its entirety pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4 below, shall continue until expiration, which shall occur automatically upon the expiry of all royalty, Co-Promotion Payment and other payment obligations under this Agreement with respect to all Products (the “Term”).

9.2

Termination by Astellas

9.2.1

For Convenience. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Astellas shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on a country-by-country (provided that if such termination is with respect to any country in the EU, it shall be with respect to all of the EU) and Product-by-Product basis (provided that for purposes of the termination rights in this Section 9.2, each Product containing the same Licensed Compound shall be deemed the same Product) at any time in its sole discretion by giving one hundred and eighty (180) days’ advance written notice to Ambit. After any such notice of termination, unless within such period, Astellas is entitled to terminate this Agreement on a shorter notice period pursuant to Sections 9.2.2 or 9.2.3, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to such Product or country(ies), and all obligations (including the payment of Development Costs incurred) remain applicable, notwithstanding such notice, until date of termination of the Agreement with respect to such Product or country(ies).

9.2.2

For Safety or Regulatory Concerns. Astellas may terminate this Agreement on a Product-by-Product basis effective upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Ambit at any time referencing this Section 9.2.2 and providing Ambit with all clinical data supporting such termination together with a detailed written explanation of why Astellas believes that the Adverse Safety/Tox Results (as defined below) justify discontinuing all development and Commercialization hereunder. For purposes of the foregoing, “Adverse Safety/Tox Results” means, with respect to a particular Product, results from activities hereunder that provide a reasonable basis for the discontinuance by Astellas of all further development or Commercialization of such Products for use in the Field

CONFIDENTIAL

because the risk profile of such Product makes it unlikely that Regulatory Approval within the Field can be obtained or maintained for such Product in any of the U.S., EU or Japan. In the event that Ambit disputes Astellas’s decision to terminate in accordance with this Section 9.2.2, the Parties shall promptly refer such dispute for resolution pursuant to Section 10.7 and, if Astellas desires to terminate this Agreement for convenience regardless of the outcome of the dispute resolution procedure, Astellas shall provide Ambit with written notice of such intent, in which case Astellas shall be deemed to have provided Ambit with notice of termination pursuant to Section 9.2.1 as of the date that Astellas provided notice of its intent to terminate pursuant to this Section 9.2.2. Termination of this Agreement shall be effective upon the earlier to occur of (A) the expiration of the notice period provided in Section 9.2.1 and (B) conclusion of the dispute resolution process in Astellas’s favor. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that Astellas terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2.2 with respect to the Lead Product, it shall have the right to terminate this Agreement simultaneously with respect to all Products by so specifying in writing to Ambit.

9.2.3

For Third Party Infringement. Astellas may terminate this Agreement effective upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Ambit on a Product-by-Product basis and/or with respect to any country(ies) (provided that if such termination is with respect to any country in the European Union, it shall be with respect to all of the European Union and if such termination is with respect to the U.S., the Agreement may, at Astellas’s election, be terminated in its entirety) if (a) Astellas concludes, reasonably and in good faith, that there is a substantial likelihood that it and its Affiliates, Distributors, and Sublicensees cannot Exploit such Product (or the Licensed Compound contained therein) in a country without infringing or misappropriating the Patent Rights or other intellectual property of a Third Party or (b) a Third Party institutes or threatens suit against Ambit or its Affiliates or Astellas or its Affiliates, Sublicensees or Distributors alleging that the Exploitation of such Product (or the Licensed Compound contained therein) with respect to a country by or on behalf of Astellas, its Affiliates, Distributors or Sublicensees under this Agreement infringes or misappropriates its Patent Rights or other intellectual property rights, and Astellas concludes, reasonably and in good faith, that there is a substantial likelihood that such suit will be successful. In the event that Ambit disputes Astellas’s decision to terminate in accordance with this Section 9.2.3, the Parties shall promptly refer such dispute for resolution pursuant to Section 10.7 and, if Astellas desires to terminate this Agreement for convenience regardless of the outcome of the dispute resolution procedure, Astellas shall provide Ambit with written notice of such intent, in which case Astellas shall be deemed to have provided Ambit with notice of termination pursuant to Section 9.2.1 as of the date that Astellas provided notice of its intent to terminate pursuant to this Section 9.2.3. Termination of this Agreement shall be effective upon the earlier to occur of (A) the expiration of the notice period provided in Section 9.2.1 and (B) conclusion of the dispute resolution process in Astellas’s favor. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that Astellas terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2.3 with respect to the Lead Product, it shall have the right to terminate this Agreement simultaneously with respect to all Products by so specifying in writing to Ambit.

Termination by Either Party for Cause

9.3.1

Material Breach. Subject to Section 9.3.2, in the event that a Party believes that the other Party is in material breach of, or has materially breached, this Agreement with respect to a Product or one or more country(ies) or in its entirety, then the first Party shall provide written notice to such Party providing a detailed explanation of the asserted

CONFIDENTIAL

material breach. The allegedly breaching Party shall then have the right either: (a) to cure such asserted material breach within […***…] (provided that such cure period shall be […***…] for a breach of a payment obligation) after actual receipt of such written notice (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Parties) or (b) if the Party receiving notice disagrees that it is in material breach of the Agreement with respect to a Product and one or more country(ies) or in its entirety, to initiate dispute resolution pursuant to Section 10.7, whereupon the applicable cure period as set forth above shall be tolled until the dispute is resolved pursuant to such procedure.

9.3.2

Safe Harbor.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Ambit may not assert that Astellas is in material breach of its diligence obligations under this Agreement for failure to perform or discontinuance of (a) any development activity that Astellas proposed to the JSC for inclusion in the Development Program, but which Ambit opposed during JSC discussions or opted pursuant to Section 2.1.4 not to co-fund, (b) any marketing or promotional activity that Astellas proposed to include in the Co-Promotion Plan budget of Direct Marketing/Promotional Expenses and Indirect Marketing Expenses for a Co-Promoted Product, but which Ambit opposed in JCC discussions or objected to pursuant to Section 3.9.4 or (c) any activity reasonably dependant on the performance of an activity in clause (a) or (b).

(b) Further, with respect to development of Products in the Joint Development Territory, if Astellas includes in the then-current Development Plan a program of development for a given Product in a country or jurisdiction in the Joint Development Territory and Ambit’s representatives on the JSC do not object, in a manner requiring Astellas to cast its final say over such objection, on the ground that such program would not be sufficient to achieve a Regulatory Approval for the applicable Indication in the applicable country or other jurisdiction or would not otherwise be sufficient for Astellas to satisfy its obligations herein to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts with respect to such Product, then for so long as Astellas is using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct such Development Program, Astellas shall be deemed to have fulfilled its development diligence obligation under Section 2.6.4(b) with respect to such country or other jurisdiction unless Ambit demonstrates that following the adoption or update of the Development Plan, circumstances changed in a manner so that Astellas, in order to act in a Commercially Reasonable manner, should have expanded or modified such Development Program and it failed to do so.

9.3.3

Termination for Uncured Material Breach. If a Party has given notice of a material breach under Section 9.3.1 above, and the other Party agrees or admits that it materially breached (or otherwise does not dispute that such breach occurred), or is held under the dispute resolution provisions to have materially breached, the Agreement, and such other Party does not cure such breach, if potentially curable, within the time period for cure as provided in Section 9.3.1 (or, if such breach cannot be rectified within such period, if such Party does not commence actions to rectify such breach within such period and thereafter diligently pursue such actions), then the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the Product or country or countries to which such material breach relates (provided that if such termination is with respect to any country in the EU, it shall be with respect to all of the EU).

(b) License Grant to Ambit. Effective upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement with respect to any Reversion Product and the applicable Terminated Country, Astellas shall automatically be deemed to grant to Ambit a non-exclusive, fully-paid, perpetual, irrevocable license, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees, under the Astellas Technology, Astellas Program Technology (including under all Program Development Data and Independent Development Data) and Astellas’s interest in the Joint Program Technology as such Patent Rights, Know-How and interests in Patent Rights and Know-How existed as of the effective date of termination (or, in the case of Patent Rights that consist of pending patent applications as of the effective date of termination, Patent Rights issuing thereon) solely to the extent that such Know-How is incorporated into or used in Exploiting (including only such Program Development Data and Independent Development Data generated in relation thereto), or such Patent Rights cover or claim an invention incorporated into or used in, such Reversion Product in the Terminated Country, as it exists and is made as of the effective date of any such termination, to research, develop, make, have made, use, import, export, offer for sale, and sell the applicable Reversion Products and/or any improvements thereto made by Ambit or its Affiliates or (sub)licensees in the Field in the Terminated Country(ies); provided, however, that such grant with respect to the Astellas Technology shall not include any rights to Exploit any Reversion Product that has not, as of the effective date of termination, entered into clinical development. In the event that any Astellas Technology licensed to Ambit in this Section 9.6.1(b) is in-licensed by Astellas from any Third Party, Ambit shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure directly from such Third Party a license to such Astellas Technology for the applicable Reversion Product on commercially reasonable terms (which terms need not be equivalent to, or as favorable as, those that apply to the Astellas in-license), within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the effective date of such termination event or such longer date as the Parties may agree. In the event that Ambit is unable, despite the exercise of such commercially reasonable efforts, to secure a license to such Astellas Technology from such Third Party(ies) for the applicable Reversion Product, the license granted by Astellas in this Section 9.6.1(b) with respect thereto shall continue. In the event that Ambit secures a license from such Third Parties with respect to such Astellas Technology for the applicable Reversion Product, such Astellas Technology shall automatically be deemed to be excluded from this Section 9.6.1(b) as of the effective date of the Third Party agreement providing such license rights to Ambit.

Astellas shall be entitled to sell all Products remaining in its inventory upon termination of this Agreement with respect to any Terminated Country(ies), provided that Astellas pays Ambit the royalties and/or Co-Promotion Payments (if any) owed under Article 4 for such sales (as if they had occurred during the Term with respect to any Terminated Country(ies)), and that, of applicable, Astellas has conducted and continues to conduct the transition contemplated in 9.6.1(f)(i) in good faith, and provided further that such sales of remaining inventory shall cease no later than the date […***…] after termination.

(e) Third-Party Agreements. Ambit shall (i) pay such amounts to Astellas that Astellas is obligated to pay to any Third Parties (including royalties, milestones and other

If, despite such efforts, the Parties are unable to agree upon such terms and conditions within thirty (30) days from the effective date of the termination, either Party may refer the dispute for resolution by arbitration in accordance with Section 10.7.3.

(i)

Transition Assistance. If the applicable termination occurs after First Commercial Sale of the terminated Product in the Terminated Country(ies), then the Transition Agreement shall require the Parties to effectuate and coordinate a smooth and efficient transition for a period of no more than […***…] for the purpose of disclosing and providing to Ambit, all Astellas Know-How not already in Ambit’s possession that is relevant to the Reversion Products and the applicable Terminated Country(ies), and, at Ambit’s request, assign to Ambit all then-existing commercial agreements to the extent relating solely and specifically to the Reversion Products and the applicable Terminated Country(ies) that Astellas is able, using reasonable commercial efforts, to disclose and assign to Ambit, in each case, to the extent reasonably necessary or useful for Ambit to commence or continue (itself or through a licensee) researching, Developing, manufacturing, or commercializing the Reversion Products with respect to the applicable Terminated Country(ies).

Unless terminated by Ambit pursuant to Section 9.3.3, in which case Astellas shall bear all such costs each Party shall bear one-half (1/2) of the out of pocket costs relating to such transfer of Supporting Documents. The Transition Agreement shall contain

(h)

Confidential Information. Each Party shall return to the other Party, or destroy at the other Party’s option, the other Party’s Confidential Information belonging to the other Party or its Affiliates that are not subject to a continuing ownership interest or license hereunder; provided, that, each Party may retain one copy of such Confidential Information of the other Party in its archives solely for the purpose of establishing the contents thereof and ensuring compliance with its obligations hereunder.

CONFIDENTIAL

event and the Parties shall discuss in good faith whether Astellas would be willing to agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) to amend this Agreement to provide with respect to the applicable Terminated Product (a) a license under Section 9.6.1(b) and (b) the transition assistance contemplated under Section 9.6.1(f). Astellas shall give full and fair consideration to Ambit’s request, taking into consideration Ambit’s interests in the Terminated Product and the best interests of patients. In the event that Astellas is inclined against agreeing to such an amendment, Astellas shall so advise Ambit and at Ambit’s request the matter shall be elevated to the Executive Officers of each of Ambit and Astellas, who shall seek in good faith to reach agreement on the issue.

All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Ambit are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that Astellas, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Survival.

Expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination. Any expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to the rights of either Party against the other accrued or accruing under this Agreement prior to expiration or termination, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay royalties or Co-Promotion Payments for Product(s) sold prior to such expiration or termination. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Article 6, the provisions of Article 6 (other than Section 6.3) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and shall continue in effect for […***…].

If this Agreement is terminated with respect to one or more Products or Terminated Countries but not in its entirety, then following such termination the provisions identified above in this Section 9.9, to the extent they would survive and apply in the event the Agreement expires or is terminated in its entirety, and Section 9.7, shall remain in effect with respect to the Terminated Product or Terminated Country(ies), and all provisions not surviving in accordance with the foregoing shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement with respect to the applicable Product or country(ies) and be of no further force and effect (and for the avoidance of doubt all provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to any Products or country(ies) that are not terminated). If this Agreement is terminated with respect to any or all Products with respect to one or more Terminated Country(ies) in the Joint Development Territory, but not in its entirety, such Terminated Country(ies) shall be deemed to be excluded from the Joint Development Territory with respect to the applicable Product(s) from and after the effective date of such termination event.

(d) Terminate Ambit’s role in all collaborative activities (including all joint committees), in which case clause (c) of Section 2.2.1, Section 2.2.2 and the provisions of the Agreement providing for the participation of Ambit in decision-making shall have no further force or effect, provided that Ambit continues to receive periodic (at least once every six (6) months) reports and updates of Astellas’s development and commercialization activities with respect to all Products.

10.3.4

If a Party assigns this Agreement to a successor in interest (whether by acquisition, merger, reorganization, restructuring, asset purchase or otherwise) to all or substantially all the business or assets of such Party to which this Agreement relates (the “Acquiring Party”), then the intellectual property of such Acquiring Party (a) that is held by such Acquiring Party (or its Affiliate) as of immediately prior the closing of such transaction, or (b) that is developed, discovered, invented, made, acquired or in-licensed by such Acquiring Party (or its Affiliates other than such Party), excluding any Derived IP (as defined below), shall be excluded from the Ambit Technology (in the case such Party is Ambit) or the Astellas Technology (in the case that such Party is Astellas), as applicable, and from the rights licensed to the other Party under this Agreement.

Applicable Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the patent laws of the United States, without reference to any rules of conflict of laws.

10.7

Dispute Resolution

10.7.1

Objective. The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise which relate to either Party’s rights and obligations hereunder. 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 Section 10.7 if and when such a dispute arises between the Parties.

10.7.2

Informal Resolution. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts to settle any claim, dispute, or controversy from or related to this Agreement or a breach thereof (each, a “Dispute”). If the Parties do not fully settle a Dispute, and a Party wishes to pursue the matter, each Dispute that is not an “Excluded Dispute” (as defined in Section 10.7.6) shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 10.7.

10.7.3

Arbitration. Final and binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 10.7 shall be in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Large Complex Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) by a single arbitrator. Either Party may, following the end of the good faith negotiation period referenced in Section 10.7.2, refer any Dispute (other than an Excluded Dispute) to arbitration by submitting written notice to the other Party. Within fifteen (15) Business Days of delivery of such notice, the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith and agree on (a) an arbitrator to resolve the issue, which arbitrator shall be neutral and independent of both Parties and all of their respective Affiliates, shall have significant experience and expertise in licensing and partnering agreements in the pharmaceutical industry and other relevant experience and (b) any changes in these arbitration provisions or the rules of arbitration which are herein adopted, in an effort to expedite the process and otherwise ensure that the process is appropriate given the nature of the dispute and the values at risk. If the Parties cannot agree on such arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of request by a Party for arbitration, then such arbitrator shall be appointed by AAA, which arbitrator must meet the foregoing criteria. The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York, and the proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrators may proceed to an award, notwithstanding the failure of either Party to participate in the proceedings. The arbitrator shall be instructed that time is of the essence in the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall not be authorized to (i) award non-economic or punitive damages to the extent expressly excluded under this Agreement, or (ii) reform, modify or materially change this Agreement or any other

CONFIDENTIAL

agreements contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that the damage limitations described in part (i) of this sentence will not apply if such damages are statutorily imposed. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to the court for a judicial recognition of the award or an order of enforcement as the case may be, subject only to revocation on grounds of fraud or clear bias on the part of the arbitrator. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 10.7.3 to the contrary, either Party shall have the right to seek equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding. The Parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of its (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the arbitrator, the Parties, their counsel and any Person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise.

10.7.4

Administration. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrators. In no event may an arbitration be initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the Dispute would be barred by the applicable New York statute of limitations.

10.7.5

Waivers. By agreeing to the binding arbitration provisions of Section 10.7, the Parties are waiving certain rights and protections which may otherwise be available if a Dispute between the Parties were determined by litigation in court, including, without limitation, the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this provision, the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, and a right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence.

10.7.6

Non-Arbitrable Disputes. As used in this Section 10.7, the term “Excluded Dispute” means a Dispute that concerns (A) a matter for which this Agreement assigns decision-making to the Parties or a Committee or requires the consent of one or both of the Parties, (B) the validity, enforceability or infringement of a Patent, trademark or copyright, which issues shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such patent, trademark rights or copyright rights were granted or arose; or (C) any antitrust, anti-monopoly or competition law or regulation, whether or not statutory.

10.8

This Agreement, including Schedule 5.2.1 and the exhibits hereto, contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

TERMS FOR CO-PROMOTION AGREEMENT

The Co-Promotion Agreement to be negotiated pursuant to Section 3.8.2 of the Agreement shall contain terms and conditions that are consistent with the following:

a.	Tax Considerations. The Co-Promotion Agreement shall, where mutually agreeable, take into account the respective tax considerations of the Parties.

General Obligations. Each Party will agree to be responsible for ensuring that its sales representatives Co-Promote each Co-Promoted Product in a manner consistent with the Co-Promotion Plan for such Co-Promoted Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in performing their respective Co-Promotion obligations hereunder, each of the Parties will agree to (i) provide the detailing effort required pursuant to Section 3.8.4(a) using sales representatives with an experience profile appropriate for the target audience and Co-Promotion role as described in the Co-Promotion Plan; (ii) provide its own sales management organization and infrastructure for its sales representatives and (iii) detail the Co-Promoted Product in the position as determined in the Co-Promotion Plan. In the event that either Party fails in a particular Calendar Quarter to provide a number of sales representatives sufficient to satisfy its Co-Promotion detailing target as set forth in the applicable Co-Promotion Plan (a “Detailing Shortfall”), the other Party can choose to provide additional sales representatives to cover the Detailing Shortfall in the subsequent Calendar Quarter, in which case the defaulting Party will agree to reimburse the other Party for the cost to that Party of all details delivered by that Party to cover the Detailing Shortfall in amounts to be set forth in the Co-Promotion Agreement.

Sales Force Expense. Both Parties will agree to be responsible for the costs of their respective sales representatives and sales infrastructure expenses. Further, each Party will agree to be responsible for the compensation and performance review functions related to its own sales representatives, to be performed by representatives of such Party’s management. The Parties intend that the Ambit and Astellas sales representatives present as a seamless organization with respect to the Target Prescribers and that the Target Prescribers will receive a comparable level of information and customer service from both the Ambit and Astellas sales representatives. “Target Prescriber” will mean a prescriber identified as a member of the target audience to whom the Parties shall Co-Promote the Co-Promoted Product as defined in the applicable Co-Promotion Plan.

Sales Information System Integration. The Parties will agree to strive to establish a transparent and compatible sales reporting system for Co-Promoted Product to facilitate call planning and field sales activities, and the Parties will agree to share equally in all costs related to such integration.

e.	Recruitment. All Ambit sales representatives will have been recruited by Ambit at Ambit’s sole expense, and all Astellas sales representatives will have been recruited by Astellas at Astellas’s sole expense. At Ambit’s request, Astellas will agree to provide

Exhibit D – page 1

CONFIDENTIAL

Ambit with assistance in defining the desired profile of the Ambit sales representatives.

Training. Astellas will agree to, (i) develop a training program for each Co-Promoted Product, and (ii) train, at the Astellas training facility prior to the estimated launch date, all sales representatives of both Parties that will be used to Co-Promote the Co-Promoted Products; provided, that, Ambit agrees to make its sales representatives available for such training not less than […***…] prior to the Co-Promoted Product estimated launch date. Astellas will agree to provide Ambit with not less than […***…] advance written notice of the proposed sales representative training date as determined by Astellas in consultation with Ambit and in light of Astellas’s training schedule. Thereafter, Astellas will agree to ensure that adequate training programs are developed and provided for all personnel involved in the commercialization of Co-Promoted Products. The Parties will agree to utilize such training programs on an ongoing basis to assure a consistent, focused promotional strategy. No sales representative of either Party will be permitted to detail a Co-Promoted Product unless such sales representative successfully completes the training program described in this paragraph. For the Co-Promoted Product specific training, the internal costs and the out-of-pocket costs of such training programs (including without limitation the out-of-pocket costs of the development, production, printing of such training materials) will be treated as a sales training expense under Section 3.8.5, but excluding for clarity costs relating to housing or transportation of either Party’s sales representatives in attending such training programs.

Promotional Materials and Standards. In Co-promoting the Co-Promoted Product, the Parties will agree to maintain and adhere strictly to the approved labeling of the Co-Promoted Product, the approved marketing materials for the Co-Promoted Product and the Co-Promotion Agreement. Only marketing materials and programs developed by the Astellas marketing team and approved via the Astellas medical-legal review process in accordance with FDA regulations for the Co-Promoted Product shall be used. All promotional materials used by the Parties and all promotional activities relating to Co-Promoted Product will comply with applicable laws and the Code of International Federation Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Association (“IFPMA”) as well as FDA regulations regarding pharmaceutical marketing practices in the U.S. In addition, each Party shall insure that its representatives detail Co-Promoted Product in a fair and balanced manner consistent with all applicable legal, regulatory, professional and policy requirements including the PhRMA Code on Interactions with Health Care Professionals and all applicable Astellas policies, as they may exist from time to time upon presentation to and review by the JCC. Ambit and Astellas sales representatives will not engage in any pre-marketing activities for the Co-Promoted Product prohibited by Applicable Law. All promotional materials for Co-Promoted Products shall include, in equal prominence, as appropriate and as determined by the JCC, the names of both Astellas and Ambit.

h.	Performance Criteria. The Parties will agree on criteria for measuring each Party’s performance under the Co-Promotion Agreement.

Product Trademarks. The Astellas marketing team for a Co-Promoted Product will select and review with the JCC the trademark under which such Co-Promoted Product will be exclusively marketed. Astellas will agree to register each such Co-Promoted Product trademark and take all such actions as are required to continue and maintain in full force and effect in the U.S. the trademarks and the registrations thereof, and such

***Confidential Treatment Requested

Exhibit D – page 2

CONFIDENTIAL

expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be treated as Allowed Expenses. Astellas will be the exclusive owner of the trademarks. In connection with Ambit’s use of the Co-Promoted Product trademark in the U.S. in accordance with a license to be granted by Astellas in the Co-Promotion Agreement, Ambit will not represent that it has any ownership interest in the trademarks or registrations thereof, and Ambit shall acknowledge that its use of the trademark shall not create in its favor any rights therein (except as may be otherwise provided in the Agreement). Ambit’s use of any such trademark shall also be subject to additional terms and conditions to protect Astellas’s interest therein as set forth in the Co-Promotion Agreement.

j.	Other Terms.

(i)

The Co-Promoted Product will be included in each Party’s respective sales incentive bonus program for the corresponding representatives, with specified links to sales performance, as appropriate and consistent with such Party’s other bonus programs for products of comparable opportunity.

(ii)

Astellas will provide Ambit sales representatives equal access to all promotional materials.

(iii)

Astellas will be responsible for providing appropriate health science associates (HSA’s) in accordance with the Co-Promotion Plan, and the costs associated with such HSA’s shall be included as a Medical Affairs Costs.

(iv)

Each Party will be responsible for the maintenance of accurate records of the activities of its sales representatives engaged in Co-Promotion, including an accurate monthly record of the number of details, by position. The other Party will have the right to review and audit all such records. From time to time the Parties can, at their own expense and using reputable, independent Third Party data sources to audit its own and the other Party’s detailing activity to ascertain whether Co-Promotion obligations under the Co-Promotion Agreement have been fulfilled.

(v)

Neither Party may utilize Third Party contracted sales representatives for Co-Promoted Products in the U.S. without the express written consent of the other Party, provided, however, either Party may, without such consent, engage contracted sales representatives (A) for periods of not more than […***…], (B) if the agreement between the subcontracting Party and its contracted sales representatives is primarily intended to provide an opportunity for such Party to hire the contracted sales representatives engaged in Co-Promotion of the applicable Product or (C) as may be reasonably necessary from time to time to supplement such Party’s sales force on a temporary basis (measured in accordance with a timeline reasonable in light of the circumstances) in order to respond to changes in market conditions or to other events materially affecting the Commercialization of the Co-Promoted Product in the U.S. (including changes in the number of details performed by the other Party).

EXHIBIT E

TERMS FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF ARBITRATION

Expedited Arbitration. For any Dispute under this Agreement that is expressly designated under Section 2.7.1 or 3.9.4 of this Agreement to be submitted for expedited arbitration pursuant to this Exhibit E, the provisions of Section 10.7.3 shall apply, except as follows: Each Party shall prepare and submit a written summary of such Party’s position and any relevant evidence in support thereof to the arbitrator and to the other Party within thirty (30) days of the selection of the arbitrator, which, in the case of any Disputes arising under Section 2.7.1 or 3.9.4, shall be consistent with the written position submitted to the Executive Officers. Within fifteen (15) days of the delivery of such summaries by the Parties, each Party shall submit a written rebuttal to the other Party’s summary. At a hearing lasting no more than three (3) days and to commence no later than ten (10) days after delivery of the written rebuttals, each Party shall have an opportunity to submit evidence and argue for its position before the arbitrator, subject to reasonable time limitations to be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award with respect to the matter in dispute within thirty (30) days following conclusion of the hearing. In the case of a Proposed Expense Dispute arising under Section 3.9.4, the arbitrator shall determine as an initial matter whether the budget proposed by Astellas represents Commercially Reasonable Efforts with respect to commercialization of the Co-Promoted Product in the U.S. If the arbitrator determines that such budget does not represent Commercially Reasonable Efforts, then the arbitrator may determine a proper level of expenditure that the arbitrator determines will represent Commercially Reasonable Efforts (but may not require or preclude the conduct of specific activities) of Direct Marketing/Promotion Expenses and Indirect Marketing Expenses, which level of expenditure shall be within the range of the budgets proposed by the Parties (such level of expenditure, the “Arbitrator-Determined Marketing Budget”).

Baseball Arbitration. For any dispute under Section 3.8.2 of this Agreement to be submitted for arbitration pursuant to this Exhibit E, the provisions of Section 10.7.3 shall apply, except as follows:

(a) The Party invoking baseball-style arbitration under this Exhibit E shall so notify the other Party in writing. The notice shall contain a list of all issues (of those that are expressly designated under this Agreement to be submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Exhibit E) the Party proposes to submit to arbitration. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice, the Party receiving the notice shall promptly notify the initiating Party of any additional issues within the scope of issues that may be submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Exhibit E that the receiving Party intends to include in the arbitration. The issues listed in the notice and in such reply will be the only issues submitted to such arbitration.

(b) If the Parties are not able to agree on an arbitrator within five (5) days after submission to arbitration, then either or both Parties may immediately request AAA to select an arbitrator.

(c) Within fifteen (15) days after the designation of the arbitrator, the Parties shall each simultaneously submit to the arbitrator and one another in writing a proposal that contains that Party’s “final best offer” as to the matter that is the subject of the Dispute, which, with respect to establishing the Co-Promotion Agreement, shall be the agreement in the form acceptable to the

Exhibit E – page 1

CONFIDENTIAL

submitting Party. If a Party fails to submit a proposal within such timeframe, then the proposal of the submitting Party shall prevail. Each Party shall have five (5) days from receipt of the other Party’s submission to submit a written response to such summary and at a hearing to take place on no more than three (3) business days and to commence no later than ten (10) days after submission of the written, responses, each Party shall have a reasonable period of time to be determined by the arbitrator (which period of time shall be sufficient for the arbitrator to fully understand the proposals and the relative merits thereof) to argue for its proposal before the arbitrator. To the extent permitted by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules the arbitrator shall have the right to meet with the Parties, either alone or together, as necessary to make a determination.

(d) The arbitrator shall, within ten (10) days after the submission of the responses, or such longer period as the Parties may agree, select the single proposal of a Party that, in the determination of the arbitrator, as a whole is the most consistent with the requirements of this Agreement and is the most fair and reasonable to the Parties in light of the totality of the circumstances and the terms of this Agreement. At any time prior to the determination, either Party may accept the other Party’s position on any unresolved issue. The Parties shall inform the arbitrator of such accepted position and in such event such position will be deemed part of the final agreement and no longer subject to arbitration. For clarity, the arbitrator can only select one proposal in its entirety, and cannot “blend” the proposals or modify any proposal.

Form of Joint Press Release

AMBIT BIOSCIENCES AND ASTELLAS ENTER STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP TO

RESEARCH, DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE FLT3 KINASE INHIBITORS IN

MULTIPLE INDICATIONS

Ambit to Receive a $40 Million Upfront Cash Payment; Up to $350 Million in Pre-Commercialization

Milestones, Double-Digit Royalties with Option to Co-promote and Share Profits in U.S.

San Diego, CA, and Tokyo, December XX, 2009 – Ambit Biosciences Corporation and Astellas Pharma Inc. today announced that they have entered into a worldwide agreement to jointly develop and commercialize FLT3 kinase inhibitors in oncology and non-oncology indications. This partnership includes AC220, Ambit’s lead clinical-stage investigational drug that entered into a Phase 2 clinical trial earlier this month in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and other undisclosed FLT3 kinase inhibitors. AC220 is a novel, orally available, potent and highly selective small molecule that was specifically designed as a second generation FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) inhibitor using Ambit’s proprietary drug discovery engine, KINOMEscan™.

The companies will collaborate to develop AC220 for AML and other indications. The parties will also collaborate on a research and development program for a series of novel FLT3 inhibitors for a variety of oncology and non-oncology indications. The companies will share equally in the responsibilities and expenses for the development of AC220 and any additional products in the U.S. and Europe, while Astellas will have sole responsibility to fund development in all other territories. Under the terms of the agreement, Ambit will receive an up-front cash payment of $40 million and will be eligible to receive pre-commercialization payments of up to $350 million.

Astellas will have sole responsibility for funding and implementing the commercialization of all products, and Ambit will be entitled to post-approval milestone payments upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds, as well as tiered double-digit royalties on net sales. In the U.S., Ambit will also have the option to co-promote AC220 and other products under a profit sharing arrangement where Astellas and Ambit share equally in profits and losses generated from U.S. sales.

“We are pleased to have entered into a great partnership with Ambit,” stated Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, president and chief executive officer of Astellas. “We believe that AC220, as the most selective and advanced FLT3 kinase inhibitor, has the potential to provide a new treatment option for AML where high unmet medical needs exist. Astellas is strongly committed to focus on oncology and this partnership is a significant milestone to establish our franchise in oncology.”

“With their strategic commitment to the development and commercialization of innovative oncology products, Astellas is an ideal partner for Ambit,” said Xxxxx Xxxxx, Chief Executive Officer of Ambit Biosciences. “This collaboration establishes a comprehensive and global leadership position in the

Exhibit F – page 1

CONFIDENTIAL

discovery and development of FLT3 kinase inhibitors, and we look forward to working closely with Astellas to explore the clinical utility of AC220 in AML and other indications”.

About AC220

AC220, Ambit’s lead product candidate, is being developed in collaboration with Astellas Pharma Inc. and is a novel, potent, highly selective, orally bioavailable second-generation FLT3 inhibitor. AC220 is currently under evaluation in a Phase 2 clinical trial designed to support potential registration of AC220 as monotherapy treatment in adult and elderly patients with relapsed/refractory AML that have the internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation in the FLT3 kinase. AML is one of the most common types of blood cancers in adults, and the FLT3 kinase is mutated and constitutively activated in 25-40 percent of such patients. FLT3 ITD mutations predict poor prognosis and decreased response to existing treatments, including chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Ambit leveraged KINOMEscan™, the company’s proprietary, high-throughput method for screening small molecule compounds against a large number of human kinases, to advance AC220 from initial chemistry to clinical candidate selection for IND-enabling studies in only 18 months.

About Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

Acute myeloid leukemia is a form of blood cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 13,000 new cases of AML will be diagnosed in the United States in 2008. The median age of a patient with AML is about 67 years. Standard treatment for patients 60 years or older with AML includes systemic combination chemotherapy. The median survival for patients receiving induction chemotherapy, which is associated with high mortality, is 6-11 months, with shorter survival for patients over the age of 60 years. The five-year survival rate for AML is less than 15 percent. According to a report from Decision Resources, the U.S. AML market is expected to more than double by 2015.
