THIS COLLABORATION AND LICENSE AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), is made and entered
into as of September 4, 2002, by and between KIRIN BREWERY CO., LTD., having
principal offices at ▇▇-▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇-▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇-▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
("Kirin") and MEDAREX, INC., having principal offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of America, and a wholly
owned subsidiary, GENPHARM INTERNATIONAL, INC., with principal offices at ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of America
(collectively, "Medarex"). Kirin and Medarex each may be referred to herein
individually as a "Party," or collectively as the "Parties."
WHEREAS, Kirin, Medarex, and their respective Affiliates have developed,
and continue to refine and further develop, technologies in the area of
monoclonal antibody production utilizing mice carrying human immunoglobulin
loci;
WHEREAS, Medarex owns or otherwise has the right to license patent and
other intellectual property rights in and to a proprietary system for obtaining
high affinity monoclonal antibodies derived from mice carrying a portion of the
human immunoglobulin loci, a key component of which system is a transgenic mouse
referred to as the HuMAb Mouse(R) (as defined below);
WHEREAS, Kirin owns or otherwise has the right to license patent and other
intellectual property rights in and to a proprietary system for obtaining high
affinity monoclonal antibodies derived from mice carrying human immunoglobulin
loci, key components of which system are transchromosomic mice referred to as
the TC Mouse(TM) (as defined below) and the HAC Mouse(TM) (as defined below);
WHEREAS, Medarex and Kirin have collaborated to develop, and continue to
refine and further develop, a new proprietary system for obtaining high affinity
monoclonal antibodies derived from mice carrying a portion of the human
immunoglobulin loci, a key component of which system is a mouse referred to as
the KM-Mouse(TM) (as defined below);
WHEREAS, in the absence of the license grants contained in this Agreement,
Medarex believes that use or exploitation by Kirin of the TC Mouse(TM), HAC
Mouse(TM), HuMAb Mouse(R), or KM-Mouse(TM) and related information and
technology would infringe certain patent or other intellectual property rights
of Medarex, and Kirin believes that use or exploitation by Medarex of the TC
Mouse(TM), HAC Mouse(TM), or KM-Mouse(TM) and related information and technology
would infringe certain patent or other intellectual property rights of Kirin;
WHEREAS, while neither Kirin nor Medarex concedes that its use of such
technology would infringe any intellectual property rights of the other Party,
or concedes that there is any basis for any infringement claims by the other
Party, each Party nonetheless desires to avoid protracted and burdensome
litigation, and to secure licenses to any potential blocking patents of the
other Party that might prevent or hinder such Party from practicing and further
developing such technology, by entering this Agreement and granting each other
license rights to use and exploit the TC Mouse(TM), HAC Mouse(TM), HuMAb
Mouse(R), and KM-Mouse(TM) and related information and technology;
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Medarex and
Kirin each desires the ability to grant to affiliates and/or third parties
licenses (and sublicenses) to exploit transgenic and/or transchromosomic mice
carrying at least a portion of the human immunoglobulin loci, specifically the
TC Mouse(TM), HAC Mouse(TM), HuMAb Mouse(R), KM-Mouse(TM) and related
information and technology, including rights to resulting products, so as to
allow affiliates and/or third parties to engage in research, development,
manufacture, and commercialization of such resulting products;
[*]=Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by
brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
WHEREAS, affording each Party and its licensees access to and rights in
technology relating to the TC Mouse(TM), HAC Mouse(TM), HuMAb Mouse(R), and
KM-Mouse(TM) is likely to result in research and development synergies leading
to more rapid development and commercialization of marketable products;
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Medarex and
Kirin each desires to grant to the other Party licenses to practice transgenic
and/or transchromosomic mouse technology, as the case may be, including that
technology related to the HuMAb Mouse(R), TC Mouse(TM), HAC Mouse(TM), and
KM-Mouse(TM) to generate antibodies derived from human immunoglobulin loci
carried by such mice in order to develop and commercialize antibody products
raised against and with affinity for antigens selected by Medarex, Kirin, or
their respective sublicensees;
WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree, in the spirit of equal
partnership, that they intend to provide each Party with access to the other
Party's Technology (as defined below) in a manner which encourages commercial
use by both Parties, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
and
WHEREAS, Medarex and Kirin entered into that certain agreement entitled
"Agreement on Essential Terms for Collaboration," effective as of December 27,
1999, concerning the terms that form the basis of this Agreement, and the
Parties now desire to supersede such agreement with this Agreement.

3.5.2 Consequence of Medarex's Failure to Respond to Antibody
Availability Inquiry.
(a) In the event that Medarex does not respond to an
Antibody Availability Inquiry within the applicable [*] business day period (as
provided in Section 3.5 hereof) (with respect to each Antibody Availability
Inquiry, the "Original Antibody Inquiry Response Period"), and Kirin continues
to desire a response to such inquiry, Kirin shall provide to Medarex written
notice of Medarex's failure to respond, which notice shall be delivered by an
internationally recognized courier to the recipient identified in Section 18.3.2
hereof and shall contain the following legend, printed in fourteen (14) point or
larger font, capital letters and boldface type immediately below the recipients'
names and addresses: "IMPORTANT. SECOND NOTICE. REFER TO SECTION 3.5.2 OF THE
MEDAREX-KIRIN AGREEMENT FOR CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO RESPOND". Subject to
Section 3.5.2(b) hereof, as of the date on which such notice is received by
Medarex, Medarex shall have an [*] business day period to respond to the
Antibody Availability Inquiry, in any case where the Original Antibody Inquiry
Response Period was [*] business days, and an [*] business day period to respond

(b) In the event that Medarex does not respond to [*]
Antibody Availability Inquiries, in each case during the Original Antibody
Inquiry Response Period and the Additional Antibody Inquiry Response Period, and
Medarex's initial receipt of the first and the last of such Antibody
Availability Inquiries is [*], Kirin shall have the right with respect to each
subsequent Antibody Availability Inquiry for which Medarex fails to respond
during the Original Antibody Inquiry Response Period to have [*] pursuant to
Section 3.5.2(a) hereof and the terms of the [*] Agreement (without waiting for
the Additional Antibody Inquiry Response Period to lapse with respect to such
inquiry). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, in response to
subsequent Antibody Availability Inquiries from Kirin, Medarex responds to [*]
Antibody Availability Inquiries, in each case during the Original Antibody
Inquiry Response Period, and Medarex's initial receipt of the first and last of
such Antibody Availability Inquiries is [*], the provisions of the preceding
sentence shall cease to apply until and unless Medarex again does not respond to
[*] Antibody Availability Inquiries, in each case during the Original Antibody
Inquiry Response Period and the Additional Antibody Inquiry Response Period, and
Medarex's initial receipt of the first and last of such Antibody Availability
Inquiries is [*] weeks, in which case the preceding sentence shall again apply.

to Kirin for the exercise of rights pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof if [*] (i)
such Antibody [*], or the Antigen against which such Antibody was raised [*], or
(ii) Medarex [*]. Such Antibody shall continue to remain unavailable to Kirin
unless and until such Antibody is later determined to be available in connection
with a subsequent Antibody Availability Inquiry. Subject to Section 3.7 hereof,
there shall be [*] Antibody Availability Inquiries that Kirin can make to
Medarex, [*] to include any such Antibody [*] pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof.
For the avoidance of doubt, in order for [*] to render an Antibody unavailable,

have [*] as may be permitted under [*] to obtain or exercise such rights.
3.6 Notices, Inquiries and Other Requests Relating to Antibodies and
Antigens. In order to ensure accurate determinations by Medarex with respect to
the priority of receipt of any notices, inquiries, and other requests from
Kirin, Medarex Affiliates and Third Parties for rights with respect to Antigens
and Antibodies, Medarex shall [*] in documenting and maintaining such notices,
inquiries and other requests, [*]. For purposes of this Article III and Article
IV hereof, notices, inquiries and other requests for rights relating to
Antibodies and Antigens that are provided to Medarex by Kirin, any Medarex
Affiliates or Third Parties, shall be deemed to be "received" by Medarex on the
date and time at which the notice, inquiry or request is actually received in
writing by Medarex (which in the case of notices, inquiries and requests made by
Kirin shall comply with Section 18.3.3 hereof), except to the extent that the
terms of any applicable agreement entered into between Medarex and a Third Party
prior to the Effective Date provide that the notice, inquiry, or request shall
be deemed made by such Third Party and/or deemed received by Medarex on a
different date (which date shall not be more than [*] days prior to the date of
actual receipt of such notice), in which case the date for determining priority
with respect to Antigen or Antibody availability shall be determined in
accordance with the terms of such agreement. Unless otherwise expressly
indicated, "written", when referring to any notice, inquiry or request under
this Article III, include writings on paper, delivered by mail, courier,
facsimile or otherwise, as well as electronic transmissions (e.g., via email).
3.7 Covenants Relating to Lists and Disclosures. Medarex covenants that
it will not use the information contained in the Lists or the information
disclosed by Kirin to Medarex in accordance with Sections 6.5.1 or 6.5.2 hereof,

Collaborators. For the avoidance of doubt, once a Party, without reference to
the Lists or the other Antigen or Antibody-related information disclosed by a
Party to the other Party pursuant to this Article III hereof, has identified an
Antigen or an Antibody as a possible candidate for Exploitation, it may use the
information contained in the Lists for the purpose of determining whether it is
permitted, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to proceed with the
Exploitation of such Antibody or Antigen, as the case may be.
3.8 Purchase of Rights. Subject to all the other terms and conditions of
this Agreement, including restrictions on sublicensing contained in Article VIII
hereof, nothing set forth in Sections 3.2.3, 3.3.3, 3.4.3 or 3.5.4 hereof is
intended to limit either Party's right to independently purchase or in-license
rights from any Person.
ARTICLE IV
ANTIGEN AND ANTIBODY SELECTION FOR EXERCISE OF LICENSE RIGHTS
4.1 Projects Involving Use of Medarex Mice and/or Medarex Technology. In
the event and to the extent that an Antigen is available pursuant to Section

in connection with a HuMAb Project; provided, however, that Medarex shall add
such Antigen or Antibody on either the Medarex Restricted Antigen List, Shared
Exclusive Antigen List, Medarex Non-Exclusive Antigen List or Antibody Sequence
List, as appropriate, pursuant to Section 2.3.2(b)(i) or 2.3.2(b)(iii), as
applicable, and using the Coding System. Subject to the availability of an
Antigen on an exclusive basis as determined in accordance with Section 3.2.2(a)
hereof, if Medarex (on behalf of itself, a Medarex Affiliate, or Third Party)
selects such Antigen for a HuMAb Project, or otherwise elects to exercise, or
grant to one or more Medarex Affiliates or Third Parties, rights to use the
Medarex Technology and/or Medarex Mice to Exploit Antibodies (and/or Antibody
Products) against an Antigen as contemplated herein on an Antigen-exclusive
basis pursuant to this Section 4.1, it shall pay to Kirin the applicable Antigen
Exclusivity Fee pursuant to Section 10.4.3 hereof, if any, within [*] days after
such exercise or grant, as the case may be.
4.2 Reservation Licenses.
4.2.1 In General. Subject to the availability of an Antigen as
determined in accordance with Article III hereof, each Party may exercise its
rights under a Reservation License with respect to such Antigen on behalf of
itself, or with the intent of granting a sublicense under such Reservation
License, as follows.
4.2.2 Exercise by Medarex of a Reservation License. In the
event that Medarex desires to exercise its rights under a Reservation License
with respect to an Antigen and such Antigen is available to Medarex for the
exercise of such rights pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 3.2.2
hereof, Medarex shall provide notice to Kirin pursuant to this Section 4.2.2 and
indicate that it is exercising its rights under a Reservation License (which
notice need not identify the Antigen for which the rights are being exercised
(except in the case of In-House Projects, in which case Medarex shall disclose
the identity of the Antigen(s) to Kirin on Medarex's In-House Project List), but
shall in any event

-48-
identify the code assigned by Medarex to such Antigen pursuant to the Coding
System). With respect to each Antigen for which Medarex exercises its rights
under a Reservation License, Medarex shall (a) add such Antigen to the Medarex
Non-Exclusive Antigen List (or, if such Antigen is a ROFR Target, Medarex shall
add such Antigen to the Shared Exclusive Antigen List or the Medarex Restricted
Antigen List, as the case may be) pursuant to Section 2.3.2(b)(i) hereof, and
(b) pay to Kirin the Reservation License Fee, if any, pursuant to Section 10.2
hereof.
4.2.3 Exercise by Kirin of a Reservation License. In the event
that Kirin desires to exercise its rights under a Reservation License with
respect to an Antigen, it shall make an Antigen Availability Inquiry to Medarex
in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3.1(a) hereof, and as part of such
inquiry shall notify Medarex that Kirin desires to exercise its rights under a
Reservation License with respect to the Antigen that is the subject of the
inquiry (and whether, if available for the exercise of such a License, upon such
exercise by Kirin such Antigen would be a ROFR Target for which Refusal Rights
are held by a Third Party). Within the time in which Medarex is required to
respond to such Antigen Availability Inquiry pursuant to Section 3.3.1(c)
hereof, Medarex shall inform Kirin whether Kirin may exercise its rights under a
Reservation License with respect to such Antigen, i.e., whether rights with
respect to such Antigen are available on a non-exclusive basis (or, if such
Antigen upon such exercise by Kirin would be a ROFR Target, whether rights are
available on an exclusive basis, pursuant to Section 3.3.2(a) hereof). In the
event that Medarex notifies Kirin in writing that such Antigen is available to
Kirin for the exercise of its rights under such Reservation License, Kirin shall
be deemed to have exercised its rights under a Reservation License for such
Antigen as of the date on which Medarex provides such notice to Kirin. In the
event that Medarex indicates that the Antigen is not available to Kirin for the
exercise of rights under a Reservation License with respect to such Antigen,
Kirin may not exercise its rights under such Reservation License with respect to
such Antigen, unless and until it determines that such Antigen is available
pursuant to a subsequent Antigen Availability Inquiry and complies with the
terms and conditions of this Section 4.2.3. With respect to each Antigen for
which Kirin exercises its rights under a Reservation License, Kirin shall (a)
add such Antigen to the Kirin Non-Exclusive Antigen List pursuant to Section
2.3.2(b)(ii) hereof (except that if the Antigen is a ROFR Target, Medarex shall
add such Antigen to the Shared Exclusive Antigen List), and (b) pay to Medarex a
Reservation License Fee, if any, pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof.
4.2.4 Renewal of Reservation License. In the event that a
Party has exercised a Reservation License with respect to an Antigen pursuant to
Section 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 hereof, as applicable, such Party shall be permitted to
renew such License for [*] Reservation License Periods. In the event that a
Party desires to renew a Reservation License, it shall provide notice to the
other Party [*] days prior to the expiration of the then-applicable Reservation
License Period, in which event the notifying Party shall be deemed to have
renewed the Reservation License as of the date the prior Reservation License
period expires. The Party renewing a Reservation License pursuant to this
Section 4.2.4 shall be required to pay to the other Party, with respect to each
such renewal the additional Reservation License Fee, if any, for each renewal
period pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof.
4.2.5 Covenant of Reservation License Holder. Each Party
covenants to the other Party that with respect to any Antigen that is the
subject of a Reservation License under which such Party has exercised rights
pursuant to Section 4.2.2 or Section 4.2.3 hereof, as applicable, such Party
shall not file an IND in relation to an Antibody raised against and with
affinity for the Reservation Target (or in relation to any Antibody Product
containing such Antibody or Antibody Material related thereto) without first
exercising its rights under a Commercial License for such Reservation Target
pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof and paying the Commercial License Fee, if any,
pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof. Each Party further covenants to the other Party
with respect to any such Antigen that, if after the Effective Date it enters
into a Project Agreement in connection with a Partner Project and/or In-House
Project, as the case
[*]=Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by
brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

-49-
may be, with a Partner and/or an In-House Collaborator, as the case may be, in
which Project Agreement it grants to such Partner and/or In-House Collaborator a
sublicense under a License granted to it in this Agreement, such Project
Agreement, shall provide that the Partner and/or In-House Collaborator, as the
case may be, may not in the exercise of its rights under such sublicense file an
IND in relation to any Antibody raised against and with affinity for such
Antigen (or any Antibody Product containing such Antibody or Antibody Material
related thereto) without first obtaining from such Party a sublicense under a
Commercial License with respect to such Antibody.
4.3 Commercial Licenses.
4.3.1 Exercise In General. Subject to the availability of
Antibodies and Antigens as determined in accordance with Article III hereof,
each Party may exercise its rights under a Commercial License with respect to an
Antigen pursuant to this Section 4.3 on behalf of itself, or with the intent of
granting a sublicense under the Commercial License (subject to Section 8.5.1(d)
hereof) as follows.
4.3.2 Commercial License Rights of Reservation License
Holders. The holder of a Reservation License with respect to a Reservation
Target shall, by virtue of holding such Reservation License and subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including this Section 4.3.2, have a
right to exercise its rights under an Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial License
with respect to such Reservation Target, and if such Reservation Target is
available on an exclusive or semi-exclusive basis as determined in accordance
with Section 3.2.2 or 3.3.2 hereof, as applicable, it shall have a right to
exercise an Antigen Exclusive Commercial License or an Antigen Semi-Exclusive
Commercial License with respect to such Antigen. The exercise requirements of
this Section 4.3.2, in lieu of the exercise requirements of Sections 4.3.3 and
4.3.4 hereof, shall apply in the case of a Reservation Target. The Party holding
a Reservation License with respect to a Reservation Target may exercise its
rights under a Commercial License by delivering to the other Party, at any time
during the Reservation License Period, a written notice indicating its desire to
exercise a Commercial License, which notice shall specify the type of License
under which it desires to exercise such rights (i.e., Antigen Exclusive
Commercial License, an Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial License or Antigen
Non-Exclusive Commercial License) and indicate whether such License relates to
an In-House Project or Partner Project. If the Party holding a Reservation
License with respect to a Target indicates that it desires to exercise an
Antigen Exclusive Commercial License, an Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial
License and/or an Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial License with respect to such
Target, and such Target is available for the exercise of such license (as
determined in accordance with Article III hereof), such Party shall be deemed to
have exercised such Commercial License, as of the date the Target is determined
by Medarex to be so available, in the case of any exercise by Medarex, and as of
the date that Medarex notifies Kirin in writing that such Target is so
available, in the case of any exercise by Kirin. If the Party holding a
Reservation License indicates that it desires to exercise its rights under an
Antigen Exclusive Commercial License or an Antigen Semi-Exclusive License with
respect to the Reservation Target, and such Target is not available for exercise
of the requested license, the requesting Party will be deemed not to have
exercised any Commercial License with respect to such Target unless such Party
expressly indicates in the notice provided pursuant to this Section 4.3.2 that
it desires to exercise its rights under another type of Commercial License in
the event that the first requested Commercial License is unavailable (and such
other Commercial License is available), in which case such Party shall be deemed
to have exercised its rights under such other Commercial License with respect to
such Target. In the event that a Party exercises its rights under an Antigen
Exclusive Commercial License or an Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial License,
such Target shall be removed from the Medarex Non-Exclusive Antigen List or the
Kirin Non-Exclusive Antigen List, as applicable, and Medarex shall add such
Target to the Shared Exclusive Antigen List or the Medarex Restricted Antigen
List pursuant to Section 2.3.2(b)(i) or 2.3.2(b)(ii) hereof, as applicable. The
Party exercising its rights under the Commercial License shall pay

to the other Party a Commercial License Fee, if any, pursuant to Section 10.3
hereof, and, if the License exercised is an Antigen Exclusive Commercial License
or an Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial License, an Antigen Exclusivity Fee, if
any, pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof.
4.3.3 Exercise By Medarex of a Commercial License.
(a) Available Antigens. In the event that Medarex desires to
exercise its rights under either an Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial License,
Antigen Exclusive Commercial License, or Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial
License with respect to an Antigen (other than a Medarex Reservation Target with
respect to which Medarex has the right to exercise a Commercial License pursuant
to Section 4.3.2 hereof) and determines that such Antigen is available to
Medarex for the exercise of rights under such License pursuant to the terms and
conditions of Section 3.2.2(a) or 3.2.2(b) hereof, Medarex shall provide notice
to Kirin pursuant to this Section 4.3.3(a) and indicate that Medarex is
exercising its rights under an Antigen Exclusive Commercial License, an Antigen
Non-Exclusive Commercial License, or an Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial
License, as the case may be, and whether such License is exercised in connection
with an In-House Project or a Partner Project. With respect to each Antigen for
which Medarex exercises a Commercial License, Medarex shall (a) add, pursuant to
Section 2.3.2(b)(i) hereof, such Antigen to the Medarex Non-Exclusive Antigen
List, if Medarex has exercised its rights under an Antigen Non-Exclusive
Commercial License, or the Shared Exclusive Antigen List or the Medarex
Restricted Antigen List, as applicable, if Medarex has exercised its rights
under an Antigen Exclusive Commercial License or an Antigen Semi-Exclusive
Commercial License, and (b) pay to Kirin a Commercial License Fee, if any,
pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, and if such License exercised is an Antigen
Exclusive Commercial License or an Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial License, an
Antigen Exclusivity Fee, if any, pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof.
(b) Unavailable Antigen. In the event that Medarex desires to
exercise its rights under an Antigen Exclusive Commercial License, Antigen
Semi-Exclusive Commercial License, or Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial License
with respect to an Antigen (other than a Medarex Reservation Target) and
determines that such Antigen is not available to Medarex for the exercise of
rights under such License pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 3.2.3
hereof, Medarex may not exercise its rights under a Commercial License with
respect to such Antigen, unless and until it subsequently determines such
Antigen is available pursuant to a subsequent inquiry pursuant to Section 3.2.1
hereof.
(c) ROFR Targets Granted by Medarex. In the event that Medarex
desires to exercise or grant rights with respect to an Antigen pursuant to
Section 4.1 hereof on behalf of Medarex, a Medarex Affiliate or a Third Party,
or to exercise its rights under a Commercial License on behalf of Medarex, a
Medarex Partner or a Medarex In-House Collaborator with respect to an Antigen
and, pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, has knowledge that such Antigen is a ROFR
Target that is the subject of Refusal Rights granted by Medarex to a Third
Party, Medarex shall notify the ROFR Party that a Person has requested rights
with respect to the Antigen.
(i) In the event that the ROFR Party exercises its
Refusal Rights with respect to such Antigen by providing written notice thereof
to Medarex in a timely manner, as provided under the agreement that provides for
Refusal Rights with respect to such Antigen, Medarex shall not exercise or grant
any rights with respect to the Antigen (other than on behalf of the ROFR Party)
unless and until the Antigen is subsequently determined to be available as part
of a subsequent availability inquiry by Medarex pursuant to the terms and
conditions of Section 3.2 hereof.
[*]=Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by

Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
-51-
(ii) In the event that the ROFR Party, within the permitted
time period for exercising Refusal Rights, declines to exercise such Refusal
Rights, but elects pursuant to the agreement that provides for such Refusal
Rights and/or with Medarex's consent to exercise or retain certain Antigen
non-exclusive rights (including an option) with respect to such Antigen, Medarex
may grant or exercise rights pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof or exercise rights
under a Medarex Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial License or a Medarex Antigen
Non-Exclusive Commercial License, as the case may be, with respect to such
Antigen. In the event that Medarex elects to grant or exercise any such rights
with respect to such Antigen, and to the extent consistent with the rights
retained or exercised by the ROFR Party with respect to such Antigen, Medarex
shall provide to Kirin notice of Medarex's exercise or grant of rights with
respect to the Antigen, as the case may be, which notice shall specify the
rights being granted or exercised by Medarex, and Medarex shall be deemed to
have granted or exercised such rights pursuant to Section 4.3.3(f) hereof.
(iii) In the event that the ROFR Party fails or declines to
exercise its Refusal Rights in a timely manner under the agreement that provides
for Refusal Rights with respect to such Antigen (and does not otherwise elect to
retain or exercise rights with respect to such Antigen in accordance with the
preceding paragraph), then pursuant to Section 4.3.3(f) hereof Medarex shall be
deemed to have exercised or granted rights with respect to such Antigen.
In the event that the ROFR Party, in response to the notice from Medarex
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.3.3(c), provides written notice
to Medarex that it is exercising its Refusal Rights with respect to an Antigen,
or the ROFR Party elects to obtain a license to one or more Antibody(ies) raised
against such Antigen, as the case may be, and such exercise by the ROFR Party
will result in the ROFR Party obtaining from Medarex a sublicense under the
license granted by Kirin to Medarex in Section 8.3.6 hereof, or under a License,
Medarex shall be deemed to have exercised such license on behalf of the ROFR
Party as of the date on which Medarex provides notice to Kirin of the ROFR
Party's exercise of its Refusal Rights or other election, and all of the terms,
conditions and obligations that apply to such License under this Agreement shall
apply, including, without limitation, listing obligations under Article II
hereof and payment obligations under Article X hereof.
(d) ROFR Targets Granted by Kirin. In the event that Medarex desires
to exercise or grant rights with respect to an Antigen pursuant to Section 4.1
hereof on behalf of a Third Party, or to exercise its rights under a Commercial
License on behalf of a Medarex Partner or a Medarex In-House Collaborator with
respect to an Antigen and, pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, has knowledge that
such Antigen is a ROFR Target that is the subject of Refusal Rights granted by
Kirin to a Third Party, Medarex shall provide a written notice thereof to Kirin.
Such notice shall specify that Medarex desires to either grant rights to such
Third Party with respect to the Antigen on an Antigen-exclusive basis pursuant
to Section 4.1 hereof or to exercise rights under a Medarex Antigen Exclusive
Commercial License with respect to the Antigen. Additionally, Medarex shall
provide to Kirin a redacted copy of such Third Party's written request for a
license with respect to the Antigen. Upon receipt of such notice from Medarex,
Kirin shall promptly, but in any event within [*] days (x) notify the ROFR Party
that a Third Party has requested exclusive rights with respect to the Antigen,
and (y) provide a copy of such notice to Medarex.
(i) In the event that the ROFR Party exercises its Refusal
Rights with respect to such Antigen by providing written notice thereof to Kirin
within [*] days after the date on which such ROFR Party receives from Kirin the
notice required pursuant to clause (x) of the previous paragraph (in which case
Kirin shall promptly, but in any event within [*] days after the receipt of such
ROFR Party's notice, provide a copy thereof to Medarex), then (A) Kirin shall be
deemed to have exercised a Kirin Antigen Exclusive Commercial License with
respect to such Antigen on behalf of the

ROFR Party as of the date on which Kirin provides notice to Medarex of the ROFR
Party's exercise of its Refusal Rights, and all of the terms, conditions and
obligations that apply to such Commercial License under this Agreement shall
apply, including, without limitation, listing obligations under Article II
hereof and payment obligations under Article X hereof, and (B) Medarex shall not
exercise or grant any rights with respect to the Antigen unless and until the
Antigen is subsequently determined to be available as part of a subsequent
availability inquiry by Medarex pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section
3.2 hereof.
(ii) In the event that the ROFR Party, within [*] days from the
date on which the ROFR Party receives notice from Kirin that a Third Party has
requested exclusive rights with respect to the Antigen, declines to exercise
such Refusal Rights, but elects pursuant to the agreement that provides for such
Refusal Rights and/or with Kirin's consent to exercise or retain certain Antigen
non-exclusive rights (including an option) with respect to such Antigen, Kirin
shall promptly, but in any event within [*] days after such ROFR Party's
election to exercise or retain such rights, notify Medarex thereof in writing
and specify the extent to which such Antigen is available for Medarex's exercise
or grant of rights. In such event, (A) if the ROFR Party elected to obtain a
sublicense under a Kirin Antigen Non-Exclusive License, Kirin shall be deemed to
have exercised such license on behalf of the ROFR Party as of the date on which
Kirin provides notice to Medarex of the ROFR Party's election to exercise such
sublicense, and (B) to the extent consistent with the rights retained or
exercised by the ROFR Party, Medarex may grant or exercise such rights pursuant
to Section 4.1 hereof or under a Medarex Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial
License or a Medarex Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial License, as the case may
be, with respect to such Antigen. In the event that Medarex elects to grant or
exercise any such rights with respect to such Antigen, Medarex shall provide to
Kirin promptly, but in any event within [*] days after the receipt by Medarex of
the notice from Kirin regarding the ROFR Party's election pursuant to this
Section 4.3.3(d)(ii), notice of Medarex's election (specifying the rights being
granted or exercised by Medarex), in which case, Medarex shall be deemed to have
granted or exercised such rights pursuant to Section 4.3.3(f) hereof.
(iii) In the event that the ROFR Party fails or declines to
exercise its Refusal Rights with respect to such Antigen within [*] days after
receiving notice from Kirin that a Third Party has requested exclusive rights
with respect to the Antigen (and does not otherwise elect to retain or exercise
rights with respect to such Antigen in accordance with the preceding paragraph),
then Kirin promptly, but in any event within [*] days after receipt by Kirin of
a notice from such ROFR Party declining to exercise its ROFR rights, or the
expiration of such [*] day period, whichever is sooner, shall notify Medarex in
writing that such Antigen is available for Medarex's exercise or grant of
rights. In such event, (A) Kirin's Reservation License on behalf of the ROFR
Party with respect to such Antigen shall terminate and Kirin shall have no
further license or other rights with respect to the Antigen unless and until it
is later determined to be available pursuant to a subsequent Antigen
Availability Inquiry, and (B) pursuant to Section 4.3.3(f) hereof Medarex shall
be deemed to have exercised or granted rights with respect to such Antigen.
(e) ROFR Targets Held by Kirin. In the event that Medarex desires to
exercise or grant rights with respect to an Antigen pursuant to Section 4.1
hereof on behalf of a Third Party, or to exercise its rights under a Commercial
License on behalf of a Medarex Partner or Medarex In-House Collaborator with
respect to an Antigen and, pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, has knowledge that
such Antigen is a ROFR Target for which Kirin holds Refusal Rights, Medarex
shall provide a written notice thereof to Kirin. Such notice shall specify that
Medarex desires to either grant rights to such Third Party with respect to the
Antigen on an Antigen non-exclusive or Antigen-exclusive basis pursuant to
Section 4.1 hereof or to exercise rights under a Medarex Antigen Exclusive
Commercial License, a Medarex Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial License or a
Medarex Antigen Non-Exclusive

Commercial License with respect to the Antigen. Additionally, Medarex shall
provide to Kirin a redacted copy of such Third Party's written request for a
license with respect to the Antigen.
(i) In the event that Kirin exercises its Refusal Rights with
respect to such Antigen by providing written notice of such exercise to Medarex
within [*] days after receiving Medarex's notice under this Section 4.3.3(e),
Kirin shall be deemed to have exercised a Kirin Antigen Exclusive Commercial
License with respect to such Antigen as of the date of such notice and Medarex
shall not exercise or grant any rights with respect to the Antigen unless and
until the Antigen is subsequently determined to be available as part of a
subsequent availability inquiry by Medarex pursuant to the terms and conditions
of Section 3.2 hereof.
(ii) In the event that Kirin declines to exercise such Refusal
Rights, but elects to retain a Reservation License with respect to such Antigen,
Kirin shall provide written notice thereof to Medarex within [*] days after
receiving Medarex's notice under this Section 4.3.3(e). In the event that Kirin
timely provides such notice to Medarex, then (A) Kirin shall retain such
Reservation License, but as of the date of such notice shall no longer have
Refusal Rights with respect to such Antigen, and (B) Medarex may exercise or
grant rights consistent with the rights exercised by Kirin with respect to such
Antigen pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, or under a Medarex Antigen
Semi-Exclusive Commercial License or a Medarex Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial
License. In the event that Medarex elects to grant or exercise any such rights
with respect to such Antigen, Medarex shall provide to Kirin promptly, but in
any event within [*] days after the receipt by Medarex of the notice from Kirin
regarding its exercise of a Kirin Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial License
pursuant to this Section 4.3.3(e)(ii), notice of Medarex's election (specifying
the rights being granted or exercised by Medarex), in which case, Medarex shall
be deemed to have granted or exercised such rights pursuant to Section 4.3.3(f)
hereof.
(iii) In the event that Kirin fails or declines to exercise its
Refusal Rights with respect to such Antigen within [*] days after receiving
Medarex's notice under this Section 4.3.3(e) (and does not elect to retain or
exercise rights with respect to such Antigen in accordance with the preceding
paragraph), then (A) pursuant to Section 4.3.3(f) hereof Medarex shall be deemed
to have exercised or granted exclusive rights with respect to such Antigen
pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, or to exercise exclusive rights under a
Commercial License with respect to such Antigen, and (B) Kirin's Reservation
License and its Refusal Rights with respect to such Antigen shall terminate and
Kirin shall have no further license or other rights with respect to the Antigen
unless and until it is later determined to be available pursuant to a subsequent
Antigen Availability Inquiry.
(f) Medarex's Exercise of Rights to the Antigen That Was Subject to
Refusal Rights. In the event that Medarex has provided notice to Kirin pursuant
to Section 4.3.3(c), (d), or (e) hereof that Medarex, any of its Affiliates, or
any Third Party desires to obtain or exercise a license with respect to a
particular Antigen, then as of the date on which Medarex has knowledge, pursuant
to Section 4.3.3(c), (d) or (e) above, that the ROFR Party failed or declined to
exercise timely its Refusal Rights with respect to such Antigen, or that the
ROFR Party has declined to exercise Refusal Rights with respect to an Antigen
but has timely elected to exercise or retain certain Antigen non-exclusive
rights with respect to an Antibody(ies) against such Antigen, (and to the extent
consistent with the ROFR Party's rights with respect to such Antigen, if any),
Medarex shall be automatically deemed to have exercised or granted rights with
respect to such Antigen pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, or to have exercised its
rights under a Medarex Antigen Exclusive Commercial License, Medarex Antigen
Non-Exclusive Commercial License, or Medarex Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial
License, as the case may be, with respect to a particular Antigen, as specified
in the notices required under Sections 4.3.3(c), (d) or (e) above, and all of
the terms, conditions and obligations that apply to such specified rights under
this Agreement shall apply,

including, without limitation, listing obligations under Article II hereof and
payment obligations, if any, under Article X hereof.
4.3.4 Exercise by Kirin of a Commercial License.
(a) Notice. In the event that Kirin desires to exercise its
rights under a Commercial License with respect to an Antigen (other than a Kirin
Reservation Target with respect to which Kirin has the right to exercise a
Commercial License pursuant to Section 4.3.2 hereof), it shall make an Antigen
Availability Inquiry to Medarex in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3.1(a)
hereof, and as part of such inquiry shall notify Medarex (i) that Kirin desires
to exercise its rights under an Antigen Exclusive Commercial License, Antigen
Non-Exclusive Commercial License, or Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial License,
as the case may be, with respect to the Antigen that is the subject of the
inquiry, and (ii) whether the License with respect to which Kirin desires to
exercise rights relates to an In-House Project or a Partner Project. Within the
time in which Medarex is required to respond to such Antigen Availability
Inquiry pursuant to Section 3.3.1(c) hereof, Medarex shall inform Kirin whether
such Antigen is available to Kirin for Kirin's exercise of its rights under the
applicable License, as determined in accordance with Sections 3.3.2, 3.3.3 and
3.3.4 hereof.
(b) Available Antigen. In the event that Medarex notifies Kirin
pursuant to Section 4.3.4(a) hereof that the Antigen that is the subject of an
Antigen Availability Inquiry is available to Kirin for the exercise of the
License designated in the notice provided by Kirin to Medarex pursuant to
Section 4.3.4(a) hereof, Kirin shall be deemed to have exercised a Commercial
License for such Antigen as of the date Medarex provides such notice to Kirin.
With respect to each Antigen for which Kirin has exercised its rights under an
Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial License, Kirin shall add such Antigen to the
Kirin Non-Exclusive Antigen List pursuant to Section 2.3.2(b)(ii) hereof. With
respect to each Antigen for which Kirin has exercised its rights under an
Antigen Exclusive Commercial License or an Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial
License, Medarex shall add such Antigen to the Shared Exclusive Antigen List
pursuant to Section 2.3.2(b)(ii) hereof. Kirin shall pay to Medarex a Commercial
License Fee, if any, for each Antigen with respect to which Kirin has exercised
its rights under a Commercial License pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, and if
the License is an Antigen Exclusive Commercial License or Antigen Semi-Exclusive
Commercial License, an Antigen Exclusivity Fee, if any, pursuant to Section 10.4
hereof.
(c) Unavailable Antigen. In the event that Medarex notifies
Kirin pursuant to Section 4.3.4(a) hereof that the Antigen that is the subject
of an Antigen Availability Inquiry is not available to Kirin for the exercise of
a Commercial License designated in the notice provided by Kirin pursuant to
Section 4.3.4(a) hereof, Kirin may not exercise its rights under a Commercial
License with respect to such Antigen, unless and until it subsequently
determines such Antigen is available pursuant to a subsequent Antigen
Availability Inquiry and complies with the terms and conditions of this Section
4.3.4. If Kirin has given notice to Medarex of Kirin's desire to exercise its
rights under an Antigen Exclusive Commercial License and such Antigen is not
available for use on an exclusive basis, Kirin may exercise its rights under an
Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial License or Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial
License with respect to such Antigen upon submitting to Medarex a subsequent
Antigen Availability Inquiry and a revised notice indicating that Kirin desires
to exercise its rights under such a License with respect to such Antigen,
provided that Medarex confirms its availability for such exercise upon receipt
of such subsequent inquiry and revised notice pursuant to the terms of Article
III hereof.
(d) ROFR Targets Granted By Medarex. In the event that Medarex
notifies Kirin pursuant to Section 4.3.4(a) hereof that the Antigen that is the
subject of an Antigen Availability

Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

Inquiry and a request by Kirin to exercise rights under a Commercial License is
a ROFR Target with respect to which Medarex has granted Refusal Rights to a
Third Party, Medarex shall promptly, but in any event within [*] days, (x)
notify the ROFR Party that a Person has requested rights with respect to the
Antigen, (y) provide a redacted copy of the notice to Kirin, and (z) to the
extent that Medarex is permitted to do so consistent with its confidentiality
obligations to the ROFR Party, as determined by Medarex in Medarex's reasonable
discretion, disclose to Kirin the ROFR Party's deadline for exercising its
Refusal Rights for the Antigen if such deadline is greater than [*] days from
notice provided by Medarex that a Person desires rights to such Antigen;
provided, however, that in the event that the agreement that provides Refusal
Rights with respect to such Antigen provides that such rights are triggered by a
Third Party's request for exclusive commercial rights with respect to such
Antigen and/or Antibodies against such Antigen, Medarex shall have no obligation
to provide the ROFR Party notice in accordance with clause (x) of this Section
(or to provide a copy of such notice to Kirin) unless Kirin has requested a
Kirin Antigen Exclusive Commercial License with respect to such Antigen. In any
instance where Kirin has requested a Commercial License with respect to a ROFR
Target that is subject to this Section 4.3.4(d) and Medarex determines due to
the nature of the rights requested by Kirin that Medarex does not have an
obligation to notify the ROFR Party of such request consistent with the
foregoing sentence, Medarex shall notify Kirin in writing within [*] days after
the receipt by Medarex of Kirin's request for a Commercial License that Medarex
has received its request for a Commercial License with respect to the Antigen,
the Antigen is a ROFR Target, and Medarex has no obligation to notify the ROFR
Party of such request.
(i) In the event that Medarex provides notice to the ROFR
Party in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 4.3.4(d) and the
ROFR Party exercises its Refusal Rights with respect to the Antigen by providing
timely written notice thereof to Medarex, Medarex shall promptly, but in any
event within [*] days after such ROFR Party's notice, provide written notice
thereof to Kirin, and Kirin shall not exercise or grant rights under any
Commercial License with respect to such Antigen unless and until the Antigen is
determined to be available in response to a subsequent Antigen Availability
Inquiry.
(ii) In the event that Medarex provides notice to the ROFR
Party in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 4.3.4(d) and the
ROFR Party, within the time period for exercising Refusal Rights declines to
exercise such Refusal Rights, but elects pursuant to the agreement that provides
for such Refusal Rights and/or with Medarex's consent to exercise or retain
certain Antigen non-exclusive rights (including an option) with respect to such
Antigen, Medarex shall promptly, but in any event within [*] days after the ROFR
Party's election to exercise or retain such rights, notify Kirin thereof, and to
the extent consistent with the rights retained or exercised by the ROFR Party,
Kirin may exercise a Kirin Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial License or a Kirin
Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial License with respect to such Antigen. In the
event that Kirin elects to grant or exercise any such rights with respect to
such Antigen, Kirin shall provide to Medarex promptly, but in any event within
[*] days after the receipt by Kirin of the notice from Medarex regarding the
ROFR Party's election pursuant to this Section 4.3.4(d)(ii), notice of Kirin's
election (specifying the license under which rights are being exercised by
Kirin), in which case, Kirin shall be deemed to have granted or exercised such
rights pursuant to Section 4.3.3(f) hereof.
(iii) In the event that Medarex provides notice to the ROFR
Party in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 4.3.4(d), and the
ROFR Party fails or declines to exercise its Refusal Rights for the Antigen
within a timely manner as provided under the agreement that provides for Refusal
Rights with respect to such Antigen (and does not otherwise elect to retain or
exercise rights with respect to such Antigen in accordance with the preceding
paragraph), then Medarex shall promptly, but in any event within [*] days after
the expiration of the period in which such ROFR Party has a right to exercise
Refusal Rights, notify Kirin in writing that the Antigen is available for

Kirin's exercise of a Commercial License, and pursuant to Section 4.3.4(f) Kirin
shall be deemed to have exercised a Kirin Antigen Exclusive Commercial License
or a Kirin Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial License, as specified in the notice
provided by Kirin to Medarex in connection with the Antigen Availability
Inquiry.
In the event that the ROFR Party, in response to the notice from Medarex
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.3.4(d), provides written notice
to Medarex that it is exercising its Refusal Rights with respect to an Antigen,
or the ROFR Party elects to obtain a license to one or more Antibody(ies) raised
against and with affinity for such Antigen, as the case may be, and such
exercise by the ROFR Party will result in such ROFR Party obtaining from Medarex
a sublicense under the license granted by Kirin to Medarex in Section 8.3.6 or
under a Medarex Antigen Exclusive Commercial License or a Medarex Antigen
Non-Exclusive Commercial License, Medarex shall be deemed to have exercised such
license on behalf of the ROFR Party as of the date on which Medarex provides
notice to Kirin of the ROFR Party's exercise of its Refusal Rights or other
election, and all of the terms, conditions and obligations that apply to such
Commercial License under this Agreement shall apply, including, without
limitation, listing obligations under Article II hereof and payment obligations
under Article X hereof.
(e) ROFR Targets Granted by Kirin. In the event that Kirin desires to
exercise rights under a Commercial License with respect to an Antigen that is a
ROFR Target with respect to which Kirin has granted Refusal Rights to a Third
Party, Kirin shall notify the ROFR Party that a Person has requested rights with
respect to the Antigen, and Kirin shall also promptly provide a copy of such
notice to Medarex and indicate the type of Commercial License under which Kirin
desires to exercise rights with respect to such Antigen.
(i) In the event that within [*] days after the date on which
such ROFR Party receives from Kirin written notice that a Person desires rights
with respect to the Antigen the ROFR Party exercises its Refusal Rights with
respect to such Antigen by providing written notice thereof to Kirin, Kirin
shall within [*] days after the receipt of such notice provide written notice
thereof to Medarex, together with a copy of the ROFR Party's notice, and Kirin
shall not exercise or grant its rights under any Commercial License (other than
on behalf of the ROFR Party) with respect to such Antigen unless and until the
Antigen is determined to be available in response to a subsequent Antigen
Availability Inquiry.
(ii) In the event that the ROFR Party, within [*] days after
the date on which such ROFR Party receives from Kirin written notice that a
Person desires rights with respect to the Antigen, declines to exercise such
Refusal Rights, but elects pursuant to the agreement that provides for such
Refusal Rights and/or with Kirin's consent to exercise or retain certain Antigen
non-exclusive rights (including an option) with respect to such Antigen, Kirin
shall promptly, but in any event within [*] days after the ROFR Party's election
to exercise or retain such rights, notify Medarex thereof. To the extent
consistent with the rights retained or exercised by the ROFR Party, Kirin may
exercise such Kirin Antigen Semi-Exclusive Commercial License or Kirin Antigen
Non-Exclusive Commercial License, as the case may be, with respect to such
Antigen. In the event that Kirin elects to grant or exercise any such rights
with respect to such Antigen, Kirin shall notify Medarex, as part of the notice
provided by Kirin to Medarex with regard to such ROFR Party's election pursuant
to this Section 4.3.4(e)(ii), of Kirin's election to exercise or grant of rights
with respect to the Antigen, as the case may be, which notice shall specify the

granted or exercised such rights pursuant to Section 4.3.3(f) hereof.
(iii) In the event that the ROFR Party fails or declines to
exercise its Refusal Rights for the Antigen within [*] days after receipt
thereof (and does not otherwise elect to retain

Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

paragraph), then Kirin shall promptly, but in any event within [*] days after
the expiration of such [*] day period, notify Medarex thereof in writing that
such Antigen is available for Kirin's exercise or grant of a Commercial License
and Kirin shall be deemed to have exercised a Kirin Antigen Exclusive Commercial
License with respect to the Antigen pursuant to Section 4.3.4(f) hereof.
In the event that the ROFR Party, in response to the notice from Kirin pursuant
to the first sentence of this Section 4.3.4(e), provides written notice to Kirin
that it is exercising its Refusal Rights with respect to an Antigen, or elects
in accordance with this Section 4.3.4(e) to obtain a sublicense under a Kirin
Antigen Non-Exclusive Commercial License, as the case may be, Kirin shall be
deemed to have exercised a Kirin Antigen Exclusive Commercial License or a Kirin

Antigen, then as of the date on which Medarex provides notice to Kirin pursuant
to Section 4.3.4(d) hereof that the ROFR Party has declined to exercise Refusal
Rights and/or has exercised less than all of the available rights with respect
to such Antigen, in the case of a ROFR Party to which Medarex has granted
Refusal Rights, or the date on which Medarex has received notice from Kirin
pursuant to Section 4.3.4(e) hereof that the ROFR Party has declined to exercise
Refusal Rights and/or has exercised less than all of the available rights with
respect to such Antigen, in the case of a ROFR Party to which Kirin has granted
Refusal Rights, and to the extent consistent with the ROFR Party's rights with

Project, the Party exercising such rights shall designate such Antigen as an
In-House Target and note the corresponding Designation Date on its In-House
Target List within [*] business days after the exercise of such rights. Such
Target shall remain on such Party's In-House Target List unless and until such
Target is removed therefrom pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof. [*], a Party shall
not exercise a License pursuant to Article IV hereof with respect to an Antigen
in connection with an In-House Project if the exercise of such License and
corresponding designation of such Antigen on such Party's In-House Target List
would cause such Party to [*].
(b) Designation of Targets Before the Effective Date. If prior
to the Effective Date a Party designated one or more Antigens on its In-House
Target List in reliance on the Agreement on Essential Terms for Collaboration,
the Designation Date for each such Target shall be the date on which the
Designating Party added such Target to its In-House Target List (as noted on
such list). Such Target(s) shall remain on such In-House Target List unless and
until such Target is removed therefrom pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof.
(c) Further Designation of Targets as [*] Targets or [*]
Targets. Except in the case of an Antigen selected by a Party as a [*] Target
pursuant to Section 5.3.2 hereof, which Antigen

shall be designated as a [*] Target at the time such Antigen is listed on the
In-House Target List, each Party shall be permitted to list an Antigen on its
In-House Target List pursuant to Section 5.1.3(a) or (b) hereof without further
designating at the time of such listing whether the Antigen is a [*] Target or a
[*] Target, provided that such Party further designates such Antigen as a [*]
Target pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof or a [*] Target pursuant to Section 5.2
hereof prior to such Party exercising rights under any Commercial License with
respect to one or more Antibodies raised against and with affinity for such
Target. In addition, at any time after a Party adds an Antigen to its In-House
Target List, such Party shall be permitted to designate such Antigen as an [*]
Target pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof.
(d) Opt-In Process and Effects on the [*]. At any time during
the Term, a Party may in its sole discretion make an Opt-In Offer to the other
Party in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.1.3(d) hereof with respect
to an Antigen on or intended to be added to the offering Party's In-House Target
List.
(i) Opt-In Process With Respect to New Targets. In the
event that the Designating Party desires to have the Non-Designating Party
collaborate on an In-House Project with respect to an Antigen that has not yet
been added to the Designating Party's In-House Target List, regardless of
whether such designation will result in the Designating Party [*], the
Designating Party shall (A) provide written notice to the other Party that it
desires to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 5.1.3(d)(i) with respect
to such Antigen and simultaneously therewith make an Opt-In Offer to the other
Party with respect to such Antigen, and (B) as of the date of such notice
designate such Antigen as an In-House Target and note the corresponding
Designation Date on its In-House Target List. Within [*] business days after the
Designation Date, subject to Section 5.1.3(d)(iii) hereof, the Designating Party
shall provide to the Non-Designating Party Antigen Evaluation Materials relating
to such Target and thereafter [*] to the Non-Designating Party in its review and
analysis of such materials. The Non-Designating Party shall have [*] days from
the date on which a complete set of the Antigen Evaluation Materials is received
to accept or reject the Designating Party's Opt-In Offer; provided, however, if
at the time that the Designating Party makes an Opt-In Offer to the
Non-Designating Party with respect to an Antigen, the Designating Party's
designation of such Antigen on its In-House Target List will not cause the
Designating Party to [*], the Non-Designating Party may request that the
Designating Party consent to [*] days within which to accept or reject the
Opt-In Offer, [*]. In the event that the Non-Designating Party timely accepts
the Opt-In Offer, the Parties shall negotiate [*] the terms and conditions of a
definitive agreement governing the subject matter of the Opt-In Offer and such
Target shall [*] during the negotiation period. In the event that the Parties
are unable [*] to reach agreement on the terms of a definitive agreement with
respect to the subject matter of the Opt-In Offer within [*] days after the date
on which the Antigen Evaluation Materials are received by the Non-Designating
Party (or within such longer negotiation period as the Parties may agree upon in
writing), if as of the date on which such period expires the Designating Party's
inclusion of such Target on its In-House Target List results in such Party [*],
the Designating Party shall remove such Antigen from its In-House Target List
and its License with respect to such Antigen shall automatically terminate,
unless as of such date such Party (y) exercises its rights under a Commercial
License with respect to such Antigen pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, and (z)
selects such Target as a [*] Target pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof. In the event
that the Designating Party and the Non-Designating Party enter into a definitive
agreement as contemplated by this Section 5.1.3(d)(i) or if the Non-Designating
Party rejects or otherwise fails to respond to the Opt-In Offer within the [*]
day period (and any extensions thereof agreed to by the Parties pursuant to this
Section), the Designating Party shall have the right to retain the Target on its
In-House Target List and such Target shall [*], unless and until such Target is
removed from such Party's In-House Target List pursuant to clause (b) of Section
5.5 hereof.

(ii) Opt-In Process With Respect to Listed Targets.
In the event that the Designating Party desires to have the Non-Designating
Party collaborate on an In-House Project with respect to a Target that has
already been added by the Designating Party to its In-House Target List, the
Designating Party shall provide written notice to the other Party that it
desires to make an Opt-In Offer to the Non-Designating Party with respect to
such Target. Within [*] business days after the date of such notice, subject to
Section 5.1.3(d)(iii) hereof, the Designating Party shall provide to the
Non-Designating Party Antigen Evaluation Materials relating to such Target and
thereafter [*] to the Non-Designating Party in its review and analysis of such
materials. The Non-Designating Party shall have [*] days from the date on which
a complete set of Antigen Evaluation Materials are received to accept or reject
the Designating Party's Opt-In Offer; provided, however, that the
Non-Designating Party may request that the Designating Party consent to [*] days
within which to accept or reject the Opt-In Offer, [*]. In the event that the
Non-Designating Party accepts the Opt-In Offer, the Parties shall negotiate [*]
the terms and conditions of a definitive agreement; provided, however, that such
Target shall continue to [*] during the negotiation period. In the event that
the Non-Designating Party rejects the Opt-In Offer or that the Parties are not
otherwise able to reach agreement on the terms of a definitive agreement with
respect to the subject matter of the Opt-In Offer within [*] after the date on
which the Antigen Evaluation Materials are received by the Non-Designating Party
(or within such longer negotiation period as the Parties may agree upon in
writing), the Target shall continue to [*] unless and until such Target is
removed from such Party's In-House Target List pursuant to clause (b) of Section
5.5 hereof. In the event that the Designating Party and the Non-Designating
Party enter into a definitive agreement governing the subject matter of the
Opt-In Offer, the Target shall [*] as of the effective date of such definitive
agreement.
(iii) Antigen Evaluation Materials. With respect to
any Antigen Evaluation Materials to be provided by the Designating Party to the
Non-Designating Party pursuant to Section 5.1.3(d)(i) or 5.1.3(d)(ii) hereof,
the Designating Party shall provide to the Non-Designating Party any and all
Antigen Evaluation Materials that [*] select such Antigen as an In-House Target,
exercise rights with respect to such Antigen and/or make an Opt-In Offer with
respect to such Antigen. Subject to any applicable exclusion(s) set forth in
clauses (a) through (e) of Section 1.38 (Confidential Information), any and all
Antigen Evaluation Materials provided by the Designating Party to the
Non-Designating Party shall be deemed the Confidential Information of the
Designating Party and be subject to the terms and conditions of Article XIII
hereof. In the event that any Antigen Evaluation Materials to be provided
hereunder by the Designating Party include any material [*] as determined by the
Designating Party, the Designating Party shall notify the Non-Designating Party
and disclose to such Non-Designating Party the nature of such material and the
Parties shall confer [*]. In the event the Non-Designating Party determines that
the disclosure of such material is [*], the Designating Party shall have [*]. In
the event the Non-Designating Party determines [*], the Designating Party shall
have the right to [*] such materials to the Non-Designating Party or [*] the
Opt-In Offer in the event that [*].
(iv) [*] Relating to Opt-Ins. Each Party [*] to the
other Party that it shall exercise its rights under this Section 5.1.3(d) [*]
and [*].
5.2 [*] Target Selection.
5.2.1 [*] Target Rights. During the Term of the Agreement, each
Party shall accumulate rights to designate Targets on its In-House Target List

Party shall be permitted to select a Target on its In-House Target List as a [*]
Target only after a [*] Target Right has accrued to such Party. Once a [*]
Target Right is used by a Party such right shall be deemed to have expired (even
in the event that such Target is later redesignated by such Party as a [*]
Target or with respect to which Target such Party later implements an In-House
Project Status Change pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof) and, except in accordance
with the terms of Section 5.2.2 hereof, may [*]. A Target that is selected by a
Party as a [*] Target in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof may be redesignated
by such Party as a [*] Target, in which case the Designating Party shall be
required, pursuant to [*] to the other Party with respect to such Target [*]. By
way of example and without limitation, in the event that Kirin as the
Designating Party achieves [*] at the time when the Target is designated as a
[*] Target and [*] after the Target has been redesignated as a [*] Target, [*].
5.2.2 Substitution of [*] Targets.
(a) [*] Target Substitution. Subject to the terms of Section
5.2.2(b) hereof, in the event that the Designating Party, prior to the [*] with
respect to a [*] Target, (i) abandons research, development and/or
commercialization activities with respect to a [*] Target (and terminates its
Reservation License or Commercial License, as the case may be, with respect to
such Target), or (ii) redesignates the [*] Target as a [*] Target pursuant to
Section 5.3.1 hereof, such Party shall have the right to make a [*] Target
Substitution with respect to such [*] Target by providing prompt written notice
thereof to the other Party; provided, however, that [*] Party shall be permitted
to make [*] during the Term of this Agreement.
(b) [*] Target Substitution Fee. At the time that a Party makes

Party shall be required, pursuant to [*]. By way of example and without
limitation, in the event that Kirin as the Designating Party achieves [*] at the
time when the Target is designated as a [*] Target and [*] after the Target has
been redesignated as a [*] Target, Kirin shall [*].
5.3.2 Designation of [*] Targets in [*]. At any time on or after
the Effective Date, in the event that a Party desires to select an Antigen for
the exercise of rights under a License pursuant to Article IV hereof in
connection with an In-House Project and the exercise of such rights and the
corresponding designation of such Antigen on such Party's In-House Target List
would cause such Party to [*], such Party may [*] exercise such rights and
designate the Antigen as a Target on its In-House Target List, subject to the
availability of such Antigen as determined in accordance with Article III
hereof, by providing written notice thereof to the other Party and
simultaneously therewith (a) exercising its rights under a Commercial License
with respect to such Antigen pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, (b) designating
such Antigen as a Target and noting the corresponding Designation Date on its
In-House Target List, and (c) selecting such Target as a [*] Target. Within [*]
days after the date of such notice, the Designating Party shall [*]. Such Target
shall remain on such Party's In-House Target List unless and until such Target

other Party thereof, whereafter such Target shall [*]. Thereafter, except to the
extent licensed under the Evaluation License granted to such Party in Sections
8.2.2 or 8.3.2 hereof, as the case may be, such Party shall have [*] with
respect to such Antigen; provided, however, that if such Party subsequently
determines that it or one of its Affiliates or In-House Collaborators desires to
pursue such Antigen, then, subject to receiving confirmation of availability
pursuant to Article III hereof, and the exercise of rights under a License with
respect to such Antigen pursuant to Article IV hereof, then subject to Section
5.1.2 hereof, such Party may [*] designate such Antigen as a Target and [*] it

ARTICLE VI
PARTNER PROJECTS
6.1 Partner Projects. Each Party may conduct a Partner Project only in
accordance with the terms of this Article VI. Except as provided in Sections 6.2
[*] hereof, during the period beginning on December 27, 1999, and ending on the
last day of the Term, (a) Medarex represents that it (and Medarex Affiliates)
has entered and agrees that it (and its Affiliates) will enter into Project
Agreements governing one or more Medarex Partner Projects only with Third
Parties Headquartered in the Medarex Primary Promotional Area, and (b) except
for that certain Research and Commercialization Agreement effective as of April
15, 2001, entered into by Kirin with Corixa Corporation, Kirin represents that
it (and Kirin Affiliates) has entered and agrees that it (and its Affiliates)
will enter into Project Agreements governing one or more Kirin Partner Projects
only with Third Parties Headquartered in the Kirin Primary Promotional Area. In
addition, except as provided in Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof, during the period
beginning on December 27, 1999, and ending on the last day of the Term Medarex
represents that it (and its Affiliates) have entered and agrees that it (and its
Affiliates) will enter into Project Agreements governing one or more HuMAb
License Projects only with Third Parties Headquartered in the Medarex Primary
Promotional Area. The Parties shall discuss in good faith [*], whether the Kirin
Primary Promotional Area shall be expanded to include Third Parties
Headquartered in Australia and New Zealand, with a corresponding modification to
the Medarex Primary Promotional Area.
6.2 Partner Projects Involving Special Relationships. Notwithstanding the
terms of Section 6.1 hereof, if a Party (or any of its Affiliates) has a Special

Affiliates) with which it has the Special Relationship, then the Party (or its
Affiliate) with such Special Relationship may enter into such Project Agreement
with such Third Party, subject to the written consent of the other Party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of clarification, (a)
"consent" for purposes of this Section 6.2 shall mean consent by a Party as to
the other Party's entering into such Project Agreement governing the Partner
Project(s) and/or HuMAb License Project(s), as the case may be, rather than
consent as to the form or content of such proposed Project Agreement, and (b)
the fact that a Party consents to the other Party's entering into any such
Project Agreement with a Third Party shall not make it unreasonable for the
Party granting such consent to later withhold its consent to such other Party's
entering into a subsequent Project Agreement that governs one or more Partner
Project(s) and/or HuMAb License Project(s), as the case may be, with the same
Third Party.

ARTICLE VIII
GRANTS OF LICENSES
8.1 Present Grants of Licenses. The intent and effect of the grant of each
License in this Article VIII is to create a present license grant and right in
favor of the licensee Party as to such License, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Subject to any contrary and nonwaivable
requirements of applicable law, the Parties intend for the license grants herein
to be construed in a manner which preserves (to the maximum extent) for the
licensee Parties each of the benefits of the bargain set forth in this
Agreement, rather than in a manner that may leave the provision voidable,
rejectable or otherwise terminable or unenforceable by operation of applicable
law. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Parties intend that the rights of
a non-debtor Party should survive to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, notwithstanding a rejection of this Agreement by a debtor Party pursuant to

sublicensee (in connection with an agreement entered into by the Terminating

Medarex acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed Special License No. 1 and
Special License No. 2, and Kirin acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed
redacted versions of such agreements, and based on their respective reviews of
those agreements, each Party hereby agrees that any and all material conflicts
between Special License No. 1, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other
hand, and between Special License No. 2, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on
the other hand, are described in a writing prepared jointly by the Parties with

between either Special License No. 1 or Special License No. 2 and this
Agreement, the terms of the Special License No. 1 and/or Special License No. 2,
as the case may be, shall control. In addition, Medarex acknowledges and agrees
that it has reviewed Special License No. 3 and Special License No. 4 (which
agreements have been reviewed by Kirin only in their redacted forms as available
to the public from the SEC's database), and based on Medarex's review of those
agreements, Medarex hereby agrees that there are no material conflicts between
Special License No. 3, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand,
and between Special License No. 4, on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the
other hand, that are materially different than any conflicts contained in
Special License No. 1 and/or Special License No. 2 (whether or not listed on the
writing exchanged by the Parties pursuant to this Section 8.8.1). With respect
to any material or other conflicts that may be determined in the future to exist

on the one hand, and this Agreement, on the other hand, the terms of Special
License No. 3 and Special License No. 4 shall control. With respect to any

8.8.2 License Grants in Connection with Partner Projects. The
Parties acknowledge and agree that, [*] Kirin has, under a single Project
Agreement governing a Kirin Partner Project, granted to Corixa Corporation

Technology, KM Patent Rights, or KM Know-How to immunize Collaboration Mice
and/or to Exploit and/or have Exploited Collaboration Antibodies (or
Collaboration Products containing such Collaboration Antibodies) against one or
more Antigens. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, [*], Medarex [*] to one
or more Partners sublicenses or options, or rights of refusal or negotiation

have Exploited Collaboration Antibodies (and/or Collaboration Products
containing such Collaboration Antibodies) against one or more Antigens;
provided, however, that such acknowledgment and agreement by the Parties shall
in no way [*] of any rights afforded to a Party hereto or of any covenants made
by either Party or a release of obligations imposed on either Party under this
Agreement with respect to grants by a Party to Partners [*]. Subject to the
availability of such Collaboration Antibodies and Antigens for licensing, any
such license or other rights granted by Kirin or Medarex shall be effective as
of the date of such grant of rights and shall remain in full force and effect as
if such grants were made pursuant to this Agreement. (For the avoidance of
doubt, the payment obligations of the Parties hereunder shall apply with respect
to such agreements). From and after the Effective Date, each Party shall grant
sublicenses to its Partners under the other Party's Technology and the other
Party's rights and interest in and to the KM Patent Rights and KM Know-How only
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Connection with In-House Projects. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, [*],
Kirin has exercised certain rights under the license granted to Kirin by Medarex
in connection with a Kirin In-House Project, and Medarex has exercised certain
rights granted to Medarex by Kirin in connection with Medarex In-House Projects,
and that any such rights shall be deemed to have been granted by the licensor
Party and exercised by the licensee Party on a non-exclusive basis under an
Evaluation License; provided, however, that with respect to each Target
designated by Kirin as an In-House Target [*], such Target shall be deemed to be
a Reservation Target and a ROFR Target and Kirin shall be deemed to have
exercised a Kirin Reservation License with respect to such Target, in each case
as of the Designation Date for such Reservation Target, and to have renewed such
Reservation License every [*] months during the period from the [*] such that as

8.10 Registration of Patent Licenses. Kirin acknowledges and agrees that,
subject to Section 8.11 hereof, Medarex may register with the Japanese Patent
Office, to the full extent permitted by Japanese law, each of the license grants
made to Medarex by Kirin in this Agreement. Kirin warrants and covenants to
Medarex that, subject to Section 8.11 hereof, Kirin shall cooperate fully with
Medarex to register such license grants with the Japanese Patent Office,
including by executing and consenting to the filing of such documents as are
reasonably required to accomplish such registration(s).
8.11 [*] Obligations and Rights Preserving Excuse.
8.11.1 Acknowledgement of Intention of Parties. The Parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that each Party owes the other performance of a variety of
obligations under this Agreement and that the performance of those obligations
is given in consideration of reciprocal obligations owed by the other Party. The
Parties therefore agree that it is their intention that should a Party (the
"Obligor Party") [*] to the other Party (the "Receiving Party") to such an
extent that the Receiving Party is [*] under this Agreement, then the Obligor
Party should not be entitled to [*] during the period of the Obligor Party's [*]
owed by the Receiving Party to the Obligor Party. The intention is that [*]
Obligor Party should be entitled to [*] of this Agreement from the Receiving
Party without [*] owed to the Receiving Party because a substantial part of the
consideration each Party is receiving in exchange for what it is providing, is
the [*] by the other Party. Therefore, the Parties agree that in the event an
Obligor Party [*] under this Agreement to such an extent that the Receiving
Party is [*] under this Agreement, then regardless of whether the Obligor Party
has a [*], including any [*] on the use by the Receiving Party of [*] from the
Obligor Party, such circumstance shall give rise to a condition referred to in
this Agreement as "Rights Preserving Excuse" in favor of the Receiving Party. If
a Receiving Party has "Rights Preserving Excuse" it shall mean that the
Receiving Party is [*] to the Obligor Party under this Agreement, including with
respect to this Article VIII, in the event that a Cure is not effectuated by the
Obligor Party within the Cure Period, all within the meaning of this Section
8.11. One example of a circumstance that would give rise to Rights Preserving
Excuse, but not the sole example, is where the Obligor Party has become [*]
under this Agreement such that the Receiving Party is [*] under this Agreement,
and should itself therefore be [*] under the terms of this Agreement from [*] to
the Obligor Party. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Parties intend for the Receiving Party to receive the same benefits under this
Section 8.11 whether the Obligor Party is seeking protection under the [*] laws
of the United States or the [*].
8.11.2 Mechanics of Assertion of Rights Preserving Excuse. In the
event that circumstances have arisen to cause the Receiving Party to reasonably
conclude that it has Rights Preserving Excuse, then:
(a) if there is [*] on the part of the Receiving Party to
[*] from the Obligor Party and/or to notify the Obligor Party that the Receiving
Party believes it has Rights Preserving Excuse, then the Receiving Party shall
send the Obligor Party written notice that Rights Preserving Excuse has arisen,
providing a reasonable description of the basis for the assertion of Rights
Preserving Excuse, and the Obligor Party shall have [*] calendar days within
which either to advise the Receiving Party the means by which a Cure shall be
effected by the Obligor Party within the Cure Period (as defined below), or
advise the Receiving Party that the Obligor Party believes no Rights Preserving
Excuse has arisen and why; or
(b) if there is [*] on the part of the Receiving Party to
[*] from the Obligor Party and/or to notify the Obligor Party that the Receiving
Party believes it has Rights Preserving Excuse, including by [*], then the
Receiving Party shall file a pleading, paper or other notice with the applicable
court [*] or, in the case of a [*], stating that Rights Preserving Excuse has
arisen and seeking to compel any performance that the Receiving Party believes
has [*], and providing a reasonable description of the
[*]=Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by
brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
-91-
basis for the assertion of Rights Preserving Excuse. The filing of the pleading,
paper or other notice with the court [*] as described herein shall constitute
notice to the Obligor Party of the Receiving Party's claim that Rights
Preserving Excuse has arisen, regardless of how or whether any motion,
proceeding or matter is resolved pursuant to the pleading, paper or other notice
that was filed with the applicable court [*].
8.11.3 [*] If, after the Receiving Party gives notice of a Rights
Preserving Excuse pursuant to Section 8.11.2(a) or 8.11.2(b) hereof (a "Notice
of Rights Preserving Excuse"), (i) the Obligor Party proposes a Cure to the
Receiving Party in writing and does not receive, within [*] calendar days
thereafter, written confirmation from the Receiving Party that the proposed Cure
is acceptable to the Receiving Party, or (ii) the Obligor Party disputes whether
Rights Preserving Excuse has arisen in favor of the Receiving Party, then the
Obligor Party may seek to have issues of whether the Obligor Party has proposed
an adequate Cure and/or whether a Rights Preserving Excuse exists resolved by
[*]. If the Obligor Party desires to have any such issue so resolved, the
Obligor Party shall so notify the Receiving Party with a written [*]." Upon
receipt by the Receiving Party of the [*], the Parties shall endeavor to agree
on the choice of a cost-effective [*] unless otherwise agreed by the Parties)
before [*] within [*] business days after the selection of [*]. If the Parties
cannot agree upon [*] within [*] calendar days after the Receiving Party
receives the [*], then the Parties shall retain [*] or its successor, or only if
[*] is not available, some other similar [*], to select the [*] and the Parties
shall participate in a [*] business days in length unless otherwise agreed by
the Parties) before such [*] within [*] business days after the selection of
such [*]. The Parties agree to participate in such [*]. The costs of such [*]
service shall be borne [*]. No judge [*] of a court with jurisdiction over
either Party, or over any such dispute, shall be eligible to serve as a [*]. Any
such [*] shall be conducted in the County of San Diego unless otherwise agreed
by the Parties. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or
written, made in the course of the [*] by any of the Parties, their agents,
employees, experts and attorneys, and by the [*], are confidential, privileged
and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any litigation or
other proceeding involving the Parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise
admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or
non-discoverable as a result of its use in the [*]. Except as expressly set
forth in this Section 8.11, no conduct of a Party with respect to any such [*]
shall affect any Rights Preserving Excuse or any other right or obligation of a
Party. In particular, no Party's [*] in any [*] shall constitute a breach of any
duty or obligation under this Agreement, or shall create any right, claim or
defense by the other Party.
8.11.4 Cure; Cure Period and Status of Rights Preserving Excuse
During Mediation. In the event that a Rights Preserving Excuse exists in favor
of the Receiving Party and the Receiving Party gives Notice of Rights Preserving
Excuse, then the Obligor Party shall have the Cure Period within which to
effectuate a "Cure" within the meaning of this Section 8.11.4. Until the Cure
Period lapses without the Obligor Party effecting a Cure, or if a court
determines that no Rights Preserving Excuse exists in favor of the Receiving
Party, the Receiving Party must render performance hereunder. "Cure" for
purposes of this Section 8.11 shall mean (a) cure of the breaches set forth in
the Notice of Rights Preserving Excuse by performance by the Obligor Party, to
the extent that the Receiving Party is once again [*] under this Agreement, (b)
performance by the Obligor Party of remedies for such breaches, which remedies
would be deemed adequate under applicable [*] law (including, for example,
payment of monetary damages in certain circumstances), to the extent that the
Receiving Party is once again [*] under this Agreement, or (c) only in the case
of a [*] on the part of the Receiving Party to compel performance of this
Agreement by the Obligor Party, [*] of this Agreement in accordance with
applicable [*]. In the event a Cure is effected by [*] of this Agreement by the
Obligor Party [*], the Receiving Party shall no longer have Rights Preserving
Excuse, but instead will have the rights and remedies accorded to the Receiving
Party under [*] and shall have the ability as set forth therein (among other
things) either to continue to retain certain of its rights under this Agreement
(without creating a Rights Preserving Excuse in favor of the rejecting Obligor
Party), or to treat this Agreement as

brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

-92-
terminated. In the event that the Obligor Party fails to effect a Cure within
the Cure Period, regardless of whether the Obligor Party resorts to [*] pursuant
to Section 8.11.6 hereof, the Receiving Party shall have the benefit of Rights
Preserving Excuse and [*] in favor of the Obligor Party, and such [*] until such
time as a Cure is effected or a court determines pursuant to Section 8.11.6
hereof that no Rights Preserving Excuse exists in favor of the Receiving Party,
whereupon the Receiving Party shall be required to promptly [*] to the existence
(or assertion) of the Rights Preserving Excuse.
8.11.5 Effect of Failure to Cure. After the end of the Cure Period,
in the absence of Cure, then and only then shall the Receiving Party be [*]
(until Cure is effected or this Agreement is duly terminated in accordance with
Article XIV) from [*] to the Obligor Party (because the Receiving Party failed
to [*]) and the Receiving Party shall retain all of its rights and remedies
against the Obligor Party on account of the failures to perform this Agreement
that gave rise to the Rights Preserving Excuse, and on account of any other
breaches under applicable law, including, if the Receiving Party so elects, to
seek to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article XIV. In the event
that the Receiving Party shall [*] under the Agreement by reason of a Rights
Preserving Excuse, then until such time as this Agreement is terminated in
accordance with Article XIV, the Obligor Party may obligate the Receiving Party
to [*] owed to the Receiving Party. In the event that (a) the Receiving Party
shall [*] under this Agreement by reason of asserting that Rights Preserving
Excuse exists in its favor, and (b) the Obligor Party [*] that the Receiving
Party has Rights Preserving Excuse and commences [*] pursuant to Section 8.11.6
hereof to resolve such dispute, the Obligor Party may [*] to the Receiving Party
as the Obligor Party contends it is [*] (and which form the basis of Obligor
Party's contention that Receiving Party has not failed to [*] because Obligor
Party is still [*] to prevent Rights Preserving Excuse from arising). Moreover,
the Obligor Party may withhold such performance until the earliest to occur of
the following: (i) a determination by [*] that Rights Preserving Excuse in fact
existed in favor of the Receiving Party, where the Obligor Party [*] as
contemplated by Section 8.11.6 hereof; (ii) a determination by a [*] that Rights
Preserving Excuse in fact existed in favor of the Receiving Party; (iii) a
determination by the [*] that Rights Preserving Excuse did not exist in favor of
the Receiving Party, where the Receiving Party [*] as contemplated by Section
8.11.6 hereof, provided that the Receiving Party [*] on the grounds of Rights
Preserving Excuse; and/or (iv) a determination by a [*] that Rights Preserving
Excuse did not exist in favor of the Receiving Party, provided that the
Receiving Party [*] on the grounds of Rights Preserving Excuse. The Receiving
Party's election [*] hereunder so long as Rights Preserving Excuse exists, shall
not in and of itself [*] the Obligor Party from [*] of its affirmative
obligations under the Agreement, nor shall it give the Obligor Party grounds to
terminate this Agreement under Article XIV.
8.11.6 Legal Proceedings. If the Parties for whatever reason shall
fail to reach agreement on the issues of whether a Rights Preserving Excuse
exists and/or whether the Obligor Party has effected a Cure prior to any
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article XIV, then either Party may
initiate a legal proceeding to resolve such dispute(s). The Parties hereby [*]
consent to the [*] jurisdiction of the courts of [*] for any action, suit or
proceeding arising out of or relating to any such dispute, and agree not to
commence any action, suit or proceeding related thereto except in such courts.
The Parties further hereby [*] consent to, and [*] to, the laying of venue of
any action, suit or proceeding (other than appeals therefrom) arising out of or
relating to this Agreement in [*], and hereby further [*] waive and agree not to
plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought [*]. Any Party that fails to [*]
hereunder such that a Rights Preserving Excuse arises in favor of the other
Party shall be liable for [*] to such other Party as well as being subject to
[*], and any Party that fails to [*] hereunder on the ground that a Rights
Preserving Excuse exists in its favor shall be liable for [*] to the other Party
in the event that a court determines that there was no such Rights Preserving
Excuse as well as being subject to [*]. The Parties also agree to [*] their
respective rights to a [*] of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising
out of any of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein,
including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all

Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

other common law or statutory claims. The Parties represent that each has
reviewed [*] following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of
litigation, a copy of this agreement may be filed as a written consent to a
trial [*].
8.12 No Other Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, Medarex shall have no
right, express or implied, with respect to the Kirin Technology, Kirin
Trademarks, or any of Kirin's right, title and interest in the KM Patent Rights,
KM Know-How, or KM Trademarks, and Kirin shall have no right, express or
implied, with respect to the Medarex Technology, Medarex Trademarks, or any of
Medarex's right, title and interest in the KM Patent Rights, KM Know-How, or KM
Trademarks, in each case except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

9.1 Transfer of Mice and Mice Materials.
9.1.1 Transfer of Materials Between the Parties.
(a) Transfer of Medarex Materials and Kirin Materials Between
the Parties. From time to time upon written reasonable request by Kirin, Medarex
shall provide Medarex Materials to Kirin (or its Affiliates) for use by Kirin or
Kirin Affiliates in connection with the research, development, and
commercialization of Collaboration Products, in such quantities as are
reasonably available. From time to time upon written reasonable request by
Medarex, Kirin shall provide Kirin Materials to Medarex (or its Affiliates) for
use by Medarex and Medarex Affiliates in connection with the research,
development, and commercialization of Collaboration Products, in such quantities
as are reasonably available. Subject to Section 9.1.2 hereof, each Party also
agrees to provide Materials in such quantities as are reasonably available and
as the other Party may from time to time reasonably request [*] in connection
with the research, development, and commercialization of Collaboration Products.
(b) Further Agreement Governing Transfer of Materials.
Promptly following the Effective Date, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith
to agree on a process for the transfer of Materials from one Party to the other
Party pursuant to Section 9.1.1(a) and to agree upon any additional terms that
shall apply to such transfer(s), and shall to the extent determined to be
reasonably necessary by the Parties, negotiate in good faith to enter into a
separate written agreement governing such transfer(s), the terms of which shall
include, without limitation, [*] for the provision of services relating to the
transfer of Materials.
(c) No Sale, Lease or Transfer of Title. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement, no transfer by a Party to the other Party
of any Collaboration Mice or any Mice Materials relating thereto, whether
pursuant to this or any other agreement between the Parties that may be entered
into pursuant to Section 9.1.1(b) hereof, or that may have been entered into
prior to the Effective Date, shall constitute a sale, offer for sale, lease,
offer for lease or other transfer of title to any such Collaboration Mice or
Mice Materials derived therefrom.
9.1.2 Transfer of Collaboration Mice and Mice Materials to Third
Parties and Control Requirements Relating Thereto.
(a) Transfer of Collaboration Mice and Mice Materials. The

the exercise of licenses granted to such Party in Article VIII hereof, and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to transfer Collaboration
Mice and/or Mice Materials derived therefrom to such Party's Affiliates and
Third Parties that have been granted rights to use such Collaboration Mice in
accordance with Article VIII hereof, for use by such Affiliates and Third
Parties in the research, development, and/or commercialization of Collaboration
Products; provided, however, that prior to making any such transfer of
Collaboration Mice or Mice Materials derived therefrom to an Affiliate or a
Third Party, such Party shall have entered into a written agreement with such
Affiliate or Third Party that governs the terms of such transfer, which terms
shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and, in the
case of a Third Party, shall prohibit such Third Party from further transferring
such mice except to the extent expressly permitted in Section 8.5.1 and 8.5.2
hereof, as applicable; provided, further, that Kirin shall not transfer,
directly or indirectly, any Medarex Mice to any Affiliate or Third Party, and
Medarex shall not transfer, directly or indirectly, any Kirin Mice to any
Affiliate or Third Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party.
For the avoidance of doubt, Medarex (and its Affiliates) may provide Medarex
Mice and/or KM-Mice directly to Medarex Affiliates and Third Parties, and Kirin
(and its Affiliates) may provide Kirin Mice and KM-Mice directly to Kirin
Affiliates and Third Parties in connection with the research, development, and
commercialization of Collaboration Products, on terms and conditions consistent
with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement,
neither Party shall be permitted, in the exercise of its rights hereunder, to
sell, offer to sell, lease, offer to lease or otherwise transfer title to any
Collaboration Mice or Mice Materials derived therefrom. For the avoidance of
doubt, nothing contained in this Section 9.1.2(a) shall apply to, or otherwise
restrict, transfers of Medarex Mice by Medarex to an Affiliate or Third Party.
(b) Control Requirements. Each Party hereby acknowledges the
value of the Collaboration Mice and Mice Materials derived therefrom, as well as
the possibility that, absent implementation and compliance with reasonable
security precautions, the Collaboration Mice and Mice Materials derived
therefrom may be transferred to or acquired by, legally or otherwise, Third
Parties not in privity with either Party, their respective Affiliates, or
sublicensees. Accordingly, each Party agrees, and shall cause its Affiliates and
sublicensees with which it enters into agreements after the Effective Date to
agree, to implement and maintain such procedures as it, in its reasonable
discretion, believes to be necessary or useful to prevent unauthorized access to
or transfer of Collaboration Mice and/or Mice Materials derived therefrom to
unauthorized Third Parties. Upon written request, from time to time during the
Term hereof but in no event more often than once every two (2) years, each Party
agrees to provide the other Party with a detailed written summary of the
procedures it implements and maintains in this regard.
9.1.3 Transfer and Use of Collaboration Antibodies and Antibody
Materials to Third Parties. The Parties agree that each Party and its respective
Affiliates shall be permitted, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, to transfer Collaboration Antibodies (and Antibody Materials related

characterization, evaluation, clinical trials and commercialization, with regard
to such transferred Collaboration Antibodies (and Antibody Materials related
thereto), and that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
transferring Party may permit such Affiliates and Third Parties to further
transfer such Collaboration Antibodies (and Antibody Materials related thereto)
to other Affiliates or Third Parties (a) to perform evaluation, clinical trials,
research, and development activities with respect to such Collaboration
Antibodies, and (b) subject to Section 8.5.1(d) hereof, to commercialize such
Collaboration Antibodies and Antibody Products containing such Collaboration

(a) It is understood and agreed that, in the event that a
Medarex Partner, during the course of development and/or commercialization of a
particular Collaboration Product against a particular Commercial Target,

equivalent milestone event with respect to such modified Antibody Product,
Medarex shall provide notice thereof to Kirin [*] that corresponded to such

substitution (and with respect to which Medarex made a payment to Kirin pursuant
to Section 10.7.4 hereof), [*].

such Antibody a Collaboration Antibody raised against and with affinity for such
Antigen using Kirin Mice and/or KM-Mice, thereby resulting in Medarex's
exercising rights, and/or granting a sublicense, under a Commercial License in

10.8 Equity Investments by a Party in Connection with Partner Projects.
10.8.1 In General. If a Contracting Party enters or is considering
entering into a Project Agreement governing a Partner Project pursuant to which
the Contracting Party would receive securities (other than in exchange for a
monetary payment at or above fair market value) from an Issuer as full or
partial consideration for the rights granted by the Contracting Party to the
Issuer pursuant to such agreement, and the issuance of such securities to the
Contracting Party in consideration for the respective rights would trigger a
corresponding payment obligation requiring the Contracting Party to make a
payment to the Non-Contracting Party pursuant to this Agreement based on the
consideration received for the respective rights, then the Contracting Party
shall have the right, at its election and subject to applicable law, to offer
the Non-Contracting Party the right to receive a portion of such securities in
lieu of cash in full or partial discharge (as the case may be) of the payment
obligation of the Contracting Party to the Non-Contracting Party pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Article X. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Non-Contracting party shall in any event have the sole discretion to choose to
accept the Contracting Party's offer of a portion of such securities or to
reject the offer and receive only cash in payment of any and all obligations
hereunder.
(a) If, prior to entering into a Project Agreement that
provides for the issuance of securities, the Contracting Party desires to
determine whether the Non-Contracting Party would agree to receive a portion of
such securities in lieu of cash that would be due to the Non-Contracting Party
from the Contracting Party under this Agreement, the Contracting Party shall
provide written notice to that effect to the Non-Contracting Party, indicating
in such notice the identity of the Issuer, the unit price of the respective
securities and other relevant rights and preferences relating to such
securities. Further, if the Contracting Party has [*] issued or to be issued by
the Issuer, it shall [*] to the Non-Contracting Party; provided, however that
the Contracting Party shall [*] for the Non-Contracting Party unless any [*] of
the respective securities, in which case the Contracting Party shall promptly
provide the Non-Contracting Party with an amended notice reflecting the [*]. If
the Non-Contracting Party desires to receive a portion of such securities
(calculated according to Section 10.8.2 hereof) in lieu of cash in full or
partial discharge (as the case may be) of the payment obligation of the
Contracting Party to the Non-Contracting Party in connection with each such
issuance of securities to the Contracting Party, the Non-Contracting Party shall
provide written notice to the Contacting Party within ten (10) business days
from receipt by the Non-Contracting Party of the notice provided to it pursuant
to the first sentence of this Section 10.8.1(a) or in the event of an amended
notice provided as set forth in this Section 10.8.1(a), within [*] business days
from receipt by the Non-Contracting Party of such amended notice.
(b) If at any time after entering into a Project Agreement
that provides for the issuance of securities to the Contracting Party as
consideration for some or all of the rights granted by the Contracting Party to
the Issuer, the Contracting Party desires to offer a portion of such securities
to the Non-Contracting Party, the Contracting Party shall provide written notice
to the Non-Contracting Party, and inform the Non-Contracting Party of the
identity of the Issuer, the per unit price and other relevant rights and
preferences relating to such securities. If the Contracting Party has [*] issued
or to be issued by the Issuer, it shall [*] to the Non-Contracting Party;
provided, however that the Contracting Party shall [*] for the Non-Contracting
Party unless any [*] of the respective securities, in which case the Contracting
Party shall promptly provide the Non-Contracting Party with an amended notice
reflecting the [*]. In the event that the Non-Contracting Party desires to
obtain a separate valuation, it may do so [*]. If the Non-Contracting Party
desires to receive a portion of such securities (calculated according to Section
10.8.2 hereof) in lieu of cash in full or partial discharge (as the case may be)
of the payment obligation of the Contracting Party to the Non-Contracting Party
in connection with each such issuance of securities to the Contracting Party,
the Non-Contracting Party shall provide written notice to the Contacting Party
within [*] business [*] days from receipt of the notice provided by the
Contracting Party to the Non-Contracting

Party pursuant to this Section 10.8.1(b) or in the event of an amended notice
provided as set forth in this Section 10.8.1(b), within [*] business [*]
business days from receipt by the Non-Contracting Party of such amended notice.
(c) In the event that the Non-Contracting Party provides
timely notice to the Contracting Party of its desire to receive a portion of
such securities pursuant to Section 10.8.1(a) or 10.8.1(b) hereof, then the
Contracting Party, at its election, shall attempt to negotiate an agreement with
the Issuer whereby the Issuer will issue directly to the Non-Contracting Party
securities in an amount calculated in accordance with Section 10.8.2 hereof, or
upon receipt by the Contracting Party of securities from the Issuer, the
Contracting Party shall take all steps reasonably within the control of the
Contracting Party to transfer to the Non-Contracting Party securities in an
amount calculated in accordance with Section 10.8.2 hereof. If (i) the Issuer
declines to issue such securities directly to the Non-Contracting Party or the
transfer of such securities by Contracting Party to Non-Contracting Party is not
permitted by the terms of its agreement with the Issuer and the Contracting
Party has requested that the Issuer consent to or waive any contractual
restrictions on the transfer of such securities by Contracting Party to
Non-Contracting Party, and the Issuer has declined to provide such consent
and/or waive such restrictions, as applicable, or (ii) the Contracting Party is
not permitted under applicable law to transfer such securities to the
Non-Contracting Party, then the Contracting Party shall have no further
obligation pursuant to this Section 10.8.1 and any payments owed by the
Contracting Party to the Non-Contracting Party in connection with the issuance
to the Contracting Party of such securities by the Issuer shall be paid by the
Contracting Party to the Non-Contracting Party in cash pursuant to the terms of

a court as is contemplated by Section 17.2 hereof equitable or injunctive relief
restraining any breach or future violation of the terms contained herein by the
breaching Party without the necessity of proving actual damages. Such right to
equitable relief is in addition to whatever remedies either Party may be
entitled to as a matter of law or equity, including money damages, which other
remedies are subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning the
resolution of Disputes.
13.6 Third Party Agreements. Each Project Agreement entered into after the
Effective Date by a Party and its Affiliate, Partner, or In-House Collaborator

earlier date in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this
Article XIV.
14.2 Termination of this Agreement for Material Breach. In the event of a
material breach by a Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants
or other obligations under this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may deliver
to the breaching party a notice specifying the nature of the alleged breach, and
the breaching Party shall cure such breach within the Cure Period. If such
notice is delivered to the breaching Party and the material breach is not cured
during the Cure Period or, if such breach cannot be cured within such period,
the Party in breach does not commence actions to cure such breach within the
Cure Period and thereafter diligently continue such actions until cured, the
non-breaching Party shall be entitled, without prejudice to any of its other
rights and benefits conferred on it by this Agreement, and in addition to any
other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement
in its entirety. If the Party alleged to be in breach disputes the alleged

14.5 Rights in Bankruptcy.
14.5.1 Licenses of "Intellectual Property." The Parties acknowledge
and agree that all rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this
Agreement by Medarex or Kirin are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, licenses
of rights to "intellectual property" for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code,
including without limitation Section 101 thereof. The Parties agree that the
Parties, as licensees of such rights under this Agreement, may retain and may
fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code
(including, without limitation, under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code) and
any rights and elections provided to licensees under the Japanese bankruptcy law
or other Japanese laws applicable to bankruptcies or insolvencies. Without
limitation of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, in any bankruptcy proceeding commenced by or
against a Party under Japanese law, the non-debtor Party shall retain the
licenses and other rights granted to it in Article VIII hereof and may continue
to exercise such rights in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, irrespective of whether the debtor Party elects to rescind this
Agreement pursuant to Article 59 of the Japanese bankruptcy law (or any
comparable provision of other Japanese laws applicable to bankruptcies or
insolvencies).
14.5.2 Embodiments of Intellectual Property. The non-debtor, licensee
Party shall have rights to embodiments of the intellectual property of the
debtor Party that is licensed to the non-debtor Party under this Agreement
("Embodiments of Intellectual Property"), as those rights are set forth in
Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any analogous provision of Japanese
law enacted from time to time, in the case of a bankruptcy or rehabilitation
proceeding in Japan).
14.5.3 Supplementary Agreements. The Parties acknowledge and agree
that each of the [*] Agreement and the [*] Agreement is and shall be deemed to
be an "agreement supplementary to" this Agreement, as that phrase is used in
Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.
14.5.4 Effect of Bankruptcy Filing. In the event that one Party
becomes a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code (or becomes the subject of
a comparable proceeding under Japanese bankruptcy law or other Japanese laws
applicable to bankruptcies or insolvencies), then unless or until this Agreement
is rejected or deemed rejected pursuant to Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code
(or, alternatively, unless or until this Agreement is rescinded pursuant to
Article 59 of the Japanese bankruptcy law or any comparable provision of other
Japanese laws applicable to bankruptcies or insolvencies), debtor Party, or its
trustee (or similar representative under Japanese law) shall, upon the written
request of the non-debtor Party, (a) either (i) perform this Agreement, or (ii)
provide to the non-debtor Party a complete and accurate duplicate of (or
complete access to) all Embodiments of Intellectual Property not in the
non-debtor Party's possession upon the commencement of any such bankruptcy
proceeding (or comparable Japanese proceeding), to the full extent required by
Section 365(n)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provision of Japanese
law; and (b) not interfere with the rights of the non-debtor Party as licensee
or any of its permitted sublicensees under this Agreement or any agreement
supplementary to this Agreement, to all intellectual property of the debtor
Party licensed to non-debtor Party under this Agreement.
14.5.5 Consequences of Rejection. In the event that one Party becomes
a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code (or becomes the subject of a
comparable proceeding under Japanese bankruptcy law or other Japanese laws
applicable to bankruptcies or insolvencies) and such Party in its capacity as a
debtor in possession or through its trustee or in any other capacity or through
any other
[*]=Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by
brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
-129-
successor rejects this Agreement pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code
(or rescinds this Agreement pursuant to Article 59 of the Japanese bankruptcy
law or any comparable provision of other Japanese laws applicable to
bankruptcies or insolvencies), or in the event this Agreement is deemed rejected
under the Bankruptcy Code (or deemed rescinded under any such Japanese law)
because it is not capable of assumption and assignment under the Bankruptcy Code
(or of ratification under any such Japanese law), other than as a result of the
failure or refusal of the non-debtor Party to consent to the assumption (or
ratification) of this Agreement, then:
(a) the non-debtor Party in its capacity as a licensee of the
other Party's intellectual property, may:
(i) treat this Agreement as terminated; or
(ii) retain its rights hereunder and under the [*]
Agreement (including the right to enforce the exclusivity provisions of the
licenses granted in this Agreement) to the full extent permitted by Section
365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any analogous provision of Japanese law
enacted from time to time, as applicable); and
(b) if the non-debtor Party elects to retain its rights
pursuant to Section 14.5.5(a)(ii) hereof, the non-debtor Party shall be deemed
to have requested of the debtor Party as debtor in possession (or of its trustee
(or similar representative under Japanese law), if any) that the same (i)
immediately provide and deliver to the non-debtor Party, all intellectual
property of the debtor Party licensed to the non-debtor Party under this
Agreement and all Embodiments of the Intellectual Property without further
notice or seeking relief from the automatic stay or other leave from any court,
if not previously delivered to the non-debtor Party; and (ii) not interfere with
the rights of the non-debtor Party as licensee or any of its permitted
sublicensees under this Agreement or any agreement supplementary to this
Agreement, to such intellectual property.
14.6 Accrued Rights; Surviving Obligations.
14.6.1 Accrued Rights. Termination or expiration of this Agreement
for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued
to the benefit of a Party prior to such termination or expiration. No provision
under this Article XIV shall be interpreted to limit any rights to any other
remedies a Party may have at law or in equity. Such termination or expiration
shall not relieve a Party from obligations that are expressly indicated to
survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
14.6.2 Survival. Articles XII, XIII, XV, XVII and XVIII, and Sections
2.6, 8.6.1(b), 8.6.2, 8.6.3, 8.7, 10.9.1, 10.9.2, 10.12, 14.3, 14.5, and 16.5
and this Section 14.6 of this Agreement shall survive expiration or termination
of this Agreement for any reason.
14.7 Notices Relating to Project Agreements for Kirin Partner Projects and
Kirin In-House Projects. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, by virtue of
the fact that Medarex will enter into Direct Sublicense Agreements with Kirin's
Partners and In-House Collaborators, which Direct Sublicense Agreements shall
contain cross-default provisions that permit Medarex to terminate such Direct
Sublicense Agreements in the event of defaults by such Partners or In-House
Collaborators under agreements entered into with Kirin if such defaults
adversely affect Medarex, Medarex has an interest in being kept informed by
Kirin of any such default. Kirin shall provide prompt written notice to Medarex
of any such default by a Kirin Partner or Kirin In-House Collaborator, setting
forth the nature of the

Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

default and the date on which the cure period expires, and thereafter shall
provide prompt subsequent written notice to Medarex indicating whether such
default was timely cured.
ARTICLE XV

Affiliates, and solely in such capacities, its directors, officers, employees,
and agents and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and
all Losses arising from or occurring as a result of (a) the breach by Kirin of

Medarex has an obligation to indemnify Kirin pursuant to Section 15.2.1 hereof,
as to which Losses under clause (ii) of this Section each Party shall indemnify

of its Affiliates, Partners or In-House Collaborators.
15.2 Indemnification of Kirin.

extent that such [*] the incorporation of [*]), or (3) the [*] described in
clause (i)(1) or (i)(2) of this Section 15.2.1 and/or [*], and (ii) for those
Losses for which Kirin has an obligation to indemnify Medarex pursuant to
Section 15.1 hereof, as to which Losses under clause (ii) of this Section each

the part of Kirin or any of its Affiliates, Partners or In-House Collaborators.
15.2.2 Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 15.2.1 hereof,
or the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Medarex shall not be
required to indemnify Kirin or any of its Affiliates, Partners, In-House
Collaborators, directors, officers, employees or agents, or defend and save any

brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

-131-
obligations to (a) follow the procedures set forth in Section 2.3 hereof with
respect to (i) the listing of Antigens on any Antigen Lists that Medarex has an
obligation to maintain pursuant to Section 2.1.1 hereof, or (ii) the listing of
Antibodies on the Antibody Sequence List; or (b) respond to (i) Antigen
Availability Inquiries pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, or (ii) Antibody
Availability Inquiries pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof.
15.3 Indemnification Procedure.
15.3.1 Notice of Claim. When requesting indemnification under Section
15.1 or Section 15.2.1 hereof, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give the
Indemnifying Party an Indemnification Claim Notice, but in no event shall the
Indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in
providing such notice. The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the
Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in
respect of any Losses. All indemnification claims in respect of an Indemnified
Party, or their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents shall be
made solely by such Indemnified Party.
15.3.2 Third Party Claims. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party
under this Article XV with respect to Losses arising from Third Party Claims
shall be governed by and be contingent upon the following additional terms and
conditions:
(a) Control of Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party
may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving notice to the
Indemnified Party within [*] days after the Indemnifying Party's receipt
of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third
Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an
acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any
Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a
waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any
Indemnified Party's claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a
Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the
defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying
Party and, in the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying and
Indemnified Parties with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to appoint its own single counsel, acceptable to and
at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to participate in the resolution of
such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall only
be permitted to retain separate counsel pursuant to this Section 15.3.2(a) if,
upon request of the Indemnifying Party, it first delivers to the Indemnifying
Party a legal opinion prepared by counsel acceptable to the Indemnifying Party,
which counsel shall not be affiliated or have been previously retained by the
Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, concluding that there is a conflict
of interest between the Parties sufficient to warrant the retention of separate
counsel. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third
Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the Indemnifying
Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by
any Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the
Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim and thereafter
determine it is not obligated to provide indemnification hereunder, it shall
promptly so notify the Indemnified Party. Any such notice shall include a
well-reasoned statement explaining why indemnification in respect of such Third
Party Claim is not required hereunder. After providing such notice the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party or any other
Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense, or settlement of the
Third Party Claim, unless it is later determined that indemnification in respect
of such Third Party Claim was indeed required. In the event that it is
ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify,
defend, or hold harmless an Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party
Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and
all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees
[*]=Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by
brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
-132-
and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its
defense of the Third Party Claim with respect to such Indemnified Party. If,
however, it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party was obligated
to provide indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be
responsible for prompt payment of any and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the
Indemnified Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.
(b) Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section
15.3.2(a) hereof, any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but
not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its
choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the
Indemnified Party's own expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been
specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, or (ii) the
Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in
accordance with Section 15.3.2(a) hereof (in which case the Indemnified Party
shall control the defense).
(c) Settlement. With respect to any Third Party Claims where
the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense thereof in accordance with
Section 15.3.2(a) hereof, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole authority
to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement, or otherwise
dispose of such Loss, provided it obtains the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition
of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the written consent of
the Indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to
defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any
liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party
Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
(d) Cooperation. In the event that the Indemnifying Party
assumes the defense or prosecution of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party
shall, and shall cause each other Indemnified Party to, cooperate in the defense
or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and
testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery
proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in
connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal
business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention
by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably
relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnified Parties and other
employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and
the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
(e) Expenses. Except as provided above, the costs and expenses,
including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the
Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a Calendar
Quarter basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying
Party's right to contest the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification and
subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to
be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.
15.4 Insurance. Each Party shall have and maintain (a) commercial general
liability insurance (in each country, as is customary on a country-by-country
basis) at all times during the Term, solely in the territories in which it has
or maintains substantial operations, which, for the avoidance of doubt, [*] for
the purposes of [*], and [*] for the purposes of [*], and (b) [*] (or with
respect to [*]) commencing no later than the [*] by such Party for [*], in the
[*], in such [*] as such Party [*] and as is

brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

[*]. Maintenance of such insurance coverage shall not relieve either Party of
any responsibility under this Agreement for damages in excess of insurance
coverage limits or otherwise.

ARTICLE XVII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
17.1 General. If a Dispute arises between the Parties in any context other
than with regard to whether Rights Preserving Excuse have been triggered or
whether a proposed Cure is adequate, which are governed by Section 8.11, the
Parties shall use the following procedure in good faith prior to either Party
pursuing other available judicial or nonjudicial remedies:
17.1.1 Meeting. A meeting shall be held between the Parties within
[*] days after either Party gives the other Party a Dispute Notice. The meeting
shall be attended by a representative of each Party having decision-making
authority regarding the Dispute (subject to Board of Directors or equivalent
approval, if required), who shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a
resolution of the Dispute.
17.1.2 Arbitration. If, within [*] days after the Dispute Notice, the
Parties have not succeeded in negotiating a written resolution of the Dispute,

shall refer the Dispute to [*] in accordance with the Commercial Dispute
Resolution Procedures of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), and at
the election of either Party or an arbitrator in appropriate instances, the

override inconsistent provisions of such rules) to be held in San Diego,
California. The Parties shall promptly negotiate in good faith to appoint an
Expert. If the Parties cannot agree on the appointment of an Expert to serve as
arbitrator within [*] days after receipt of a demand for arbitration, each Party
shall appoint one Expert to serve as an arbitrator, and the two arbitrators

arbitrators cannot agree on the third Expert to serve as arbitrator, the third
arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall hold a

disposition may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties.
17.2 Interim Relief. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
nothing in this Section shall preclude either Party from seeking interim or
provisional relief from a court located in the State of California, including a
temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable
relief concerning a Dispute, either prior to or during the arbitration, if
necessary to protect the interests of such Party in the event of certain
breaches which will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the other
Party for which there will be no adequate remedy at law.
17.3 Language. The arbitration proceedings and all written evidence shall
be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in a language other
than English shall be submitted in English translation accompanied by the
original or a true copy thereof. Any recommended resolution provided by
[*]=Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by

-137-
the arbitrator(s), and any explanation of the reasons for such recommended
resolution, shall be in the English language.
17.4 Covenant Relating to "WHEREAS" Clauses. Medarex and Kirin each
covenants to the other that, in the event of any litigation, arbitration or
other dispute resolution proceeding to determine claims by Medarex or by Kirin
(or any of either Party's Affiliates, successors or assigns) that the other
Party's Exploitation of the Kirin Mice, Kirin Technology, Medarex Mice, Medarex
Technology, KM-Mice, KM Patent Rights, and/or KM Know-How would infringe patent
or other intellectual property rights of either Medarex or Kirin (or any of
either Party's Affiliates, successors or assigns), neither Party (nor any of
either Party's Affiliates, successors or assigns) will make reference to the
fifth or sixth "WHEREAS" clause of this Agreement, or the drafting history of
those clauses, as evidence or support for any contention or determination that
either Medarex or Kirin (or any of either Party's Affiliates, successors or
assigns) has made any concession concerning the validity, weight, or
substantiality of such claims, or any concession that such claims have a
reasonable basis.
ARTICLE XVIII
MISCELLANEOUS
18.1 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to
the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement
for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when
such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable
control of the non-performing Party, including earthquakes, fires, floods,
embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be
declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or
other labor disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by
any governmental authority. The non-performing Party shall notify the other
Party of such force majeure within [*] business days after such occurrence by
giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its
anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its
effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer
duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use [*] to remedy
its inability to perform; provided, however, that in the event the suspension of
performance continues for [*] days after the date of the occurrence, and such
failure to perform would constitute a material breach of this Agreement in the
absence of such force majeure, the performing Party may terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 14.2 hereof by written notice to the other Party.
18.2 Governing Law. This Agreement is to be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of [*], without reference to the rules of conflict of
laws thereof.

or to such other address as the Party to which notice is to be given may have
furnished to the other Party in writing in accordance herewith. Any such
communication shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered, if
personally delivered or sent by facsimile on a business day, (b) on the [*]
business day after dispatch, if sent by internationally-recognized overnight
courier, and (c) on the [*] business day following the date of mailing, if sent

intended to govern the day-to-day business communications necessary between the
Parties in performing their duties, in due course, under the terms of this
Agreement; provided, however that those communications cannot constitute or
excuse the need for the formal notices required by the Agreement.
18.3.3 Each notice, inquiry or other communication that is provided
by one Party to the other Party hereunder shall indicate the Section(s) of this
Agreement, if any, pursuant to which such notice, inquiry or other communication
is provided. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and
[*]=Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by
brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

agreed that in the event that a Party fails to include such Section reference(s)
in a notice, inquiry or other communication, or that a Party inadvertently
includes the incorrect Section reference(s), it shall not be a breach of such
Party's obligations under this Agreement.
18.4 Assignment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 18.4,
neither this Agreement nor any interest hereunder shall be directly or
indirectly assigned or transferred (whether voluntarily, by operation of law, or
otherwise) by either Party without prior written consent of the other Party;
provided, however, that either Kirin or Medarex may assign or transfer this
Agreement without the consent of the other Party (a) to any Kirin Affiliate or
Medarex Affiliate, respectively, in accordance with this Agreement; or (b) to
any Third Party with which it may merge or consolidate, or which acquires all or
substantially all of its voting securities, or to which it may transfer all or
substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates if in any such
event (i) the assigning Party shall provide written notice to the other Party of
such assignment, (ii) in the event that the assigning Party is not the surviving
entity, it remains jointly and severally liable under this Agreement with the
relevant Kirin Affiliate, Medarex Affiliate or Third Party assignee, and (iii)
the relevant Kirin Affiliate or Medarex Affiliate assignee, Third Party assignee
or surviving entity assumes in writing all of the assigning Party's obligations
under this Agreement. For purposes of clarification with respect to subsection
(b) herein, a Third Party that merges or consolidates with a Party, or to which
a Party transfers all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement
relates, shall not be deemed to grant the other Party to this Agreement any
license to such Third Party's technology (as opposed to such Party's Technology)
in existence as of the effective date of such merger, consolidation or transfer,
unless such grant is made pursuant to a separate agreement. For purposes of this
Section 18.4, "voting securities" includes presently authorized voting
securities and securities into which such securities may hereafter be changed or
by which such voting securities may be exchanged after giving effect to the
terms of such change or exchange by way of cancellation and reissuance of voting
securities, reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation or otherwise. Any
purported assignment or transfer in violation of this Section shall be void.
18.5 Entire Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement, the exhibits hereto
and the cross-receipt delivered by each Party on the date of execution of this
Agreement (and all documents attached thereto) set forth and constitute the
entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and all prior agreements, understandings, promises and
representations, whether written or oral, with respect thereto, including,
without limitation, the Agreement on Essential Terms for Collaboration and that
certain Agreement Governing Transfer of Materials between Medarex and Kirin
effective as of December 27, 1999, as amended, are superseded hereby. Each Party
confirms that it is not relying on any representations or warranties of the
other Party except as specifically set forth herein. No amendment, modification,
release or discharge hereof shall be binding upon the Parties unless in writing
and duly executed by authorized representatives of both Parties.
18.6 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall be modified to provide the maximum
rights and benefits that are enforceable and otherwise shall continue in full
force and effect without said provision; provided that no such severability
shall be effective if it materially changes the economic or intellectual
property benefit of this Agreement to either Kirin or Medarex. In the event that
any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, and severability of such
provision would materially change the economic benefit of this Agreement to
either Kirin or Medarex, Kirin and Medarex shall modify such provision in
accordance with Section 18.5 hereof to obtain a legal, enforceable and valid
provision and provide an equivalent economic business or intellectual property
benefit to Kirin and Medarex that most nearly effects Kirin's and Medarex's
intent in entering into this Agreement.

18.7 Waiver. No waiver of any rights shall be effective unless assented to
in writing by the Party to be charged and the waiver of any breach or default
shall not constitute a waiver of any other right hereunder or any subsequent
breach or default.
18.8 Independent Contractors. It is expressly agreed that Medarex, on the
one hand, and Kirin, on the other hand, shall be independent contractors and
that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a
partnership, joint venture or agency. Except otherwise expressly set forth
herein, neither Medarex, on the one hand, nor Kirin, on the other hand, shall
have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any
kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the other, without the
prior written consent of the other Party to do so. All persons employed by a
Party shall be employees of such Party and not of the other Party and all costs
and obligations incurred by reason of any such employment shall be for the
account and expense of such Party.
18.9 Language. This Agreement is written and executed in the English
language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official
version thereof, and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the
English version and such translation, the English version shall control.
18.10 Descriptive Headings. The headings of the several sections of this
Agreement are intended for convenience of reference only and are not intended to
be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
18.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
18.12 No Third Party Rights. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed
or construed in any way to result in the creation of any rights or obligations
in any other individual group, entity or organization not a party to this
Agreement.
18.13 Further Assurances. Each Party hereby agrees to duly execute and
deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered such further instruments and
do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including without
limitation, the filing of such additional assignments, agreements, documents and
instruments, that may be necessary or as the other Party hereto may at any time
and from time to time reasonably request in connection with this Agreement or to
carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof or to better
assure and confirm unto such other Party its rights and remedies under this
Agreement.
18.14 Cumulative Remedies. Unless expressly set forth herein to the
contrary, all remedies set forth herein are cumulative and are in addition to
any and all remedies provided either Party at law or in equity.
18.15 Attorneys' Fees. In the event it becomes necessary for either Party
(or any of its Affiliates) to institute any legal action, including, without
limitation, an arbitration pursuant to Article XVII hereof, against the other
Party to enforce its rights hereunder, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to
recover from the non-prevailing Party reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs
or arbitration costs as applicable, and expenses related to such action.

Database Description
The Target Database is a two-tier client server database, with Microsoft-SQL
2000 serving as the backend and Microsoft Access & Visual Basic components
making up the front end. Connection to the database is through native ADO using
the TCP/IP protocol. The design and implementation of the database was performed
using Microsoft best practices for designing 2-tier client server applications.
The Target Database is currently operating on a Dell 2450 server with a
redundant disk array (Level 5) with a total disc capacity of approximately 200
gigabytes.
The database security is encapsulated in the application and uses a trusted user
security model. The trusted user has been granted read, write and update access
rights to the database objects (views, triggers, tables, and stored procedures).
This user is used to form the initial connection to the database only from the
Medarex internal network. Once the initial connection is formed, users are
challenged for access credentials. The benefit of this security model is that
only the trusted user can connect to the database, no third party tools can be
used to circumvent application security. The password for the trusted user is
held by the database administrator.
The database has two types of auditing: activity logs and change logs. The
activity logs are used to track user activity in the database including what
users are viewing and reporting on and the date and time at which such activity
occurs. The change logs are available only to the database administrator and are
used to record any data associated with changes made to data records.
Backups of the Target Database are performed using Hewlett-Packard SureStore
tape libraries at the end of every twenty-four (24) hour period using a standard
Grandfather-Father-Son tape rotation system, which provides for a backup to be
taken offsite every week. Protection from site disaster is accounted for by
keeping backup tapes off site using a third party contractor.
The database server is under electronic key pad security in the Medarex,
Milpitas, California server room. The room is under a controlled environment and
has the benefit of a hidden camera on a motion sensor monitoring the room
continuously (twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week).
