RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

2.1 Collaboration Targets; Resumed Targets.

(a) NVDI Control. XOMA and NVDI have been conducting research and development activities relating to Collaboration Targets and Collaboration Products in accordance with existing R&D Plans and Budgets (the “Collaboration Projects”). Commencing upon the Effective Date, NVDI will assume complete control over the conduct of the Collaboration Projects, but in any event consistent with existing protocols and applicable legal requirements. NVDI shall have the sole decision-making authority and responsibility, to be exercised at its sole discretion (subject to its obligations under Section 2.1(c)), without consultation with XOMA or any other entity, regarding all development, research, manufacturing, regulatory, safety, marketing and commercialization activities related to such Collaboration Products anywhere in the world, including rights and decision-making authority regarding involvement by Third Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof to the contrary, NVDI will inform XOMA in a timely manner of any correspondence or other communication with any Regulatory Authority regarding the regulatory status of, or that otherwise relates to the regulatory process concerning, the cell line provided by XOMA to NVDI for use in connection with the Agreement Target known as [*].

(b) Transition Period. For a period of [*] days following the Effective Date (or until such period is earlier terminated by agreement of the Parties) (the “Transition Period”), (i) XOMA shall use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts, as specifically requested by NVDI and at NVDI’s expense, to assist in the orderly and timely transfer of responsibilities and necessary materials to the control of NVDI in order to give effect to Section 2.1(a), and (ii) from time to time at NVDI’s sole discretion, NVDI may (but has no obligation to) propose to XOMA that XOMA assist in research and/or development activities related to, or provide other services in connection with, one or more Collaboration Projects. XOMA will consider such proposal, but has no obligation to undertake any such activities or to provide any such services. If NVDI and XOMA agree to have XOMA assist in such activities or provide such services, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to terms under which XOMA would do so. Within [*] after the Effective Date, XOMA shall provide to NVDI all reasonably useful data and information in its possession, which shall include without limitation production cell lines, cell banks, production batch records, clinical trial materials, research and assay reagents, test methods and regulatory submissions, relating to Collaboration Projects. From time to time at NVDI’s sole discretion, NVDI may (but shall have no obligation to) propose to XOMA that XOMA assist in providing information and expertise to NVDI to assist NVDI in preparing regulatory filings and responding to Regulatory Authority inquiries regarding INDs and/or BLAs relating to one or more Collaboration Products [*]. XOMA will consider any such proposal in good faith, but shall have no obligation to undertake any such activities or to provide any such services. If NVDI and XOMA agree to have XOMA assist in such activities or provide such services, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to terms under which XOMA would do so. Following the Transition Period, XOMA shall have no obligation whatsoever under this Agreement to assist or provide any services to, and following such [*] XOMA shall have no obligation whatsoever under this Agreement to provide any materials to, NVDI in connection with the Collaboration Projects.

(c) Diligence. NVDI shall use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts in the development and commercialization of the Collaboration Products.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, NVDI shall use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to achieve each of the following diligence events:

(ii) [*]

(iii) [*]

(d) XOMA’s Right to Resumed Products.

(i) In the event NVDI decides not to proceed with all Collaboration Projects related to the development and/or commercialization of a particular Collaboration Product, NVDI shall promptly notify XOMA in writing of such decision, upon which notification such Collaboration Project(s) shall cease to be Collaboration Project(s) and shall be deemed “Pending Project(s)”, such Collaboration Product shall cease to be a Collaboration Product and shall be deemed a “Pending Product”, and the Target that is the subject of such Project shall cease to be a Collaboration Target and shall be deemed a “Pending Target.” In addition, if NVDI fails to use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to develop and/or commercialize any Collaboration Product(s) with respect to a particular Collaboration Target, XOMA may notify NVDI in writing of such failure and NVDI shall have [*] after receiving such notification to remedy such failure. If NVDI fails to do so within such [*] (or, if such notice is disputed by NVDI, following resolution of such dispute in XOMA’s favor), the Collaboration Project(s) related thereto shall also cease to be Collaboration Project(s) and shall be deemed “Pending Project(s)”, each Collaboration Product related thereto shall also cease to be a Collaboration Product and shall be deemed a “Pending Product”, and the Target that is the subject of such Project shall cease to be a Collaboration Target and shall be deemed a “Pending Target.”

(ii) Within [*] after a Project becomes a Pending Project (the “Trigger Date”), NVDI shall provide to XOMA all reasonably useful data and information in its possession, which shall include without limitation production cell lines, cell banks, production batch records, clinical trial materials, research and assay reagents, test methods and regulatory submissions relating to such Pending Project. For a period of [*] after the Trigger Date, XOMA shall have the exclusive option to provide NVDI with written notice to assume complete control over such Pending Project. If XOMA does not exercise such option during such [*] period then from the expiration of such period until the end of the Exclusivity Period (as defined in Section 2.1(d)(iv) below), either Party shall have the option to provide the other Party with written notice to assume complete control over such Pending Project. Any such notification by XOMA shall not be construed as XOMA’s waiving any claims against NVDI. If NVDI resumes control over such Pending Project, then such Pending Project shall cease to be a Pending Project and shall again become a Collaboration Project, each Antibody Product related thereto shall cease to be a Pending Product and shall again be deemed a Collaboration Product, the Target that is the subject of such Project shall cease to be a Pending Target and shall again be deemed a Collaboration

Target, and the terms and conditions under this Agreement with respect to a Collaboration Project, Collaboration Product or Collaboration Target shall again apply thereto. If XOMA assumes control over such Pending Project, then such Pending Project shall cease to be a Pending Project and shall be deemed a “Resumed Project”, each Antibody Product related thereto, including any other Antibody Product that binds to the same Target and that has been, or is later, identified, generated or otherwise created, or acquired from a Third Party by either Party at any time, shall cease to be a Pending Product and shall be deemed a “Resumed Product”, and the Target that is the subject of such Project shall cease to be a Pending Target and shall be deemed a “Resumed Target”). XOMA shall thereupon have the sole decision-making authority and responsibility, to be exercised at its sole discretion, without consultation with NVDI or any other entity, regarding all research, development, manufacturing, regulatory, safety, marketing and commercialization activities related to such Resumed Project and all Resumed Product(s) anywhere in the world, including rights and decision-making authority regarding involvement by Third Parties, without any further obligation to NVDI, except under Section 3.6(b).

(iii) If XOMA assumes control over any Project pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(ii) above, for a period of at least [*] following receipt of such notice, NVDI shall use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts, as specifically requested by XOMA and at XOMA’s expense, to assist in the orderly and timely transfer of responsibilities and necessary materials to the control of XOMA in order to give effect to the last sentence of Section 2.1(d)(ii), which materials shall include without limitation production cell lines, cell banks, production batch records, clinical trial materials, research and assay reagents, test methods and regulatory submissions relating to such Resumed Projects. From time to time at XOMA’s sole discretion, XOMA may (but shall have no obligation to) propose to NVDI that NVDI assist in research and/or development activities related to, or provide other services in connection with, the development and/or commercialization of one or more Resumed Products. NVDI will consider such proposal in good faith, but shall have no obligation to undertake any such activities or to provide any such services. If NVDI and XOMA agree to have NVDI assist in such activities or provide such services, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to terms under which NVDI would do so. Following the transition of such Resumed Products to XOMA, NVDI shall have no obligation whatsoever under this Agreement to assist, or provide any services or materials to, XOMA in connection with the development or commercialization of such Resumed Products.

(iv) Subject to Section 11.1(b), for the Exclusivity Period (as defined below) with respect to a particular Pending Project, neither Party shall have the right to develop and/or commercialize any Antibody Product binding to the applicable Pending Target, without first assuming control over such Pending Project pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(ii) above, in which case such Party shall develop and commercialize such Antibody Product as a Collaboration Product under such Collaboration Project, or a Resumed Product under such Resumed Project, as the case may be. “Exclusivity Period” shall mean the period commencing upon the first Trigger Date with respect to a particular Pending Project and continuing until the [*] provided that, (A) if NVDI assumes control over any Pending Project under Section 2.1(d)(ii) above as a Collaboration Project and later terminates all development efforts related thereto, so that such Project again becomes a Pending Project, then the Exclusivity Period shall commence upon the Trigger Date on which such Project became a Pending Project for the first time and shall expire upon [*]

or (B) if XOMA assumes control over any Pending Project under Section 2.1(d)(ii) above as a Resumed Project and later terminates all development efforts thereto, so that such Project again becomes a Pending Project, then [*]. At the end of the Exclusivity Period for a particular Pending Project, if neither Party is pursuing such Project as a Collaboration Project or Resumed Project, then such Pending Project shall cease to be a Pending Project and shall be deemed an “Inactive Project,” the Target that is the subject of such Project shall cease to be a Pending Target and shall be deemed an Inactive Target, and (C) each Antibody Product that had then been identified, generated or otherwise created, or acquired from a Third Party, by either Party that binds to the relevant Target, and (D) any other Antibody Product that also binds to the same Agreement Target and that is derived from, or derived from the use of, an Antibody Product referred to in clause (C) above, shall cease to be a Pending Product and be deemed an Inactive Product.

(v) For clarity, subject to Section 11.1(b), XOMA shall not have the right to, either by itself or in collaboration with a Third Party, develop, commercialize and/or provide related services with respect to any Antibody Product that binds to any Collaboration Target, and NVDI shall not have the right to, either by itself or in collaboration with a Third Party, develop, commercialize and/or provide related services with respect to any Antibody Product that binds to any Resumed Target. Otherwise, either Party shall be free, by itself or in collaboration with a Third Party, to develop, commercialize and/or provide related services with respect to products that bind to any of the Agreement Targets, subject to the limitations with respect to Pending Projects under this Section 2.1(d) and with respect to Inactive Projects under Section 2.2 below.

2.2 Inactive Targets.

(a) Activities with Respect to Inactive Targets.

(i) At any time(s), each Party shall have the right, at its sole discretion and expense, to perform preclinical research with respect to any Inactive Target and any Antibody Product related thereto, until such Party obtains Proof-of-Concept Data with respect to such Inactive Target (such preclinical research, the “Preliminary Research”). Upon the reasonable, written request of a Party intending to perform Preliminary Research with respect to an Inactive Target, the other Party will provide, at the requesting Party’s expense, any useful materials in its control relating directly and solely to such Inactive Target and created during the period from the Effective Date of the Initial Agreement through the Effective Date and as part of the Original Collaboration, which materials may include without limitation production cell lines, cell banks, production batch records, clinical trial materials, research and assay reagents, test methods and regulatory submissions relating to such Inactive Target but shall exclude any materials that the requesting Party could readily obtain from another source without undue expense or undue delay to such preclinical research.

(ii) To the extent a Party has generated during Preliminary Research, or at any time(s) plans to generate, any new Antibody Product that binds to any Inactive Target that is not an Inactive Product, it shall have the right to do so, free and clear of any obligations to the other Party under this Agreement, regardless of whether the other Party is pursuing the same Agreement Target through developing and/or commercializing any Antibody Product under this Section 2.2 as a Reactivated Product or an Ongoing Product.

(iii) To the extent a Party elects to further develop or optimize any Inactive Product, it shall do so pursuant to this Agreement and in particular the provisions of this Section 2.2.

(b) Right to Inactive Projects. In the event that a Party has obtained data from an animal proof-of-principle or animal proof-of-concept study with respect to any Inactive Product (the “Proof-of-Concept Data”), and intends to pursue human clinical trials of such Inactive Product, that Party shall notify the other Party in writing, and provide the other Party a written description of its Proof-of-Concept Data. Within [*] after such other Party receives such written notice, subject to the rest of this Section 2.2(b), such Inactive Product and any other Inactive Product related to the same Inactive Target shall cease to be an Inactive Product and shall be deemed a “Reactivated Product”, the development and/or commercialization activities with respect to such Inactive Target and each Reactivated Product related to such Inactive Target shall be deemed a “Reactivated Project”, and such Agreement Target shall be deemed a “Reactivated Target.” The Party which has first obtained the Proof-of-Concept Data shall have the exclusive right, as between the Parties, to further progress such Reactivated Project and to develop and commercialize each Reactivated Product related thereto, provided that the other Party shall maintain the right to develop and/or commercialize products (including Antibody Products) related to the same Inactive Target provided that such products do not comprise a Reactivated Product. A Reactivated Project under development or commercialization by NVDI shall be deemed an “NVDI Reactivated Project” and the Reactivated Product(s) thereunder, “NVDI Reactivated Product(s).” A Reactivated Project under development or commercialization by XOMA shall be deemed a “XOMA Reactivated Project” and the Reactivated Product(s) thereunder, “XOMA Reactivated Product(s).” If, upon receiving the notification from the first Party that it has obtained the Proof-of-Concept Data with respect to a particular Inactive Product, the other Party claims that it has also obtained Proof-of Concept Data for an Inactive Product related to the same Inactive Target, then such other Party shall notify the first Party in writing within [*] after receiving the notification from the first Party of such other Party’s claim. In such event, the Parties shall discuss in good faith to resolve such claim, and either Party may initiate the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 10 hereof to resolve such claim. The Party which has been determined by such resolution to have first obtained such Proof-of-Concept Data with respect to an Inactive Product related to such Inactive Target shall have the exclusive right, as between the Parties, to further progress such Project as a Reactivated Project and to develop and commercialize each Inactive Product related thereto as a Reactivated Product, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Party not progressing any particular Reactivated Project shall have the match right pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii) below with respect to such Reactivated Project, and the potential opt-in rights under Sections 2.2(c)(i) and (iii) below. For clarity, any such opt-in right, if exercised with respect to any particular Reactivated Project, shall have the effect only of providing for the Party which made the opt-in payment to obtain an increased royalty-style payment on the Net Sales of the Agreement Products related thereto, and shall not allow such Party to actively participate in the progressing of such Project or the development and commercialization of such Agreement Products related thereto.

(c) Opt-In Right and Match Right.

(i) IND Filing Opt-In Rights.

(A) If, as a result of any research and development activities conducted with respect to a Reactivated Project, the Party advances the development of a Reactivated Product related thereto such that it has filed an IND for such Reactivated Product, then such Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer the other Party the right to opt-in on such Reactivated Project pursuant to this Section 2.2(c). If such Party elects to offer the other Party such opt-in right, it shall provide written notice thereof, together with all reasonably useful data and information in its possession relating to such Reactivated Project, including the documentation for the filing of the IND. The Party receiving the opt-in offer shall have a period of [*] from the date it receives such notice, data and information to evaluate such data and information and to exercise its opt-in rights.

(B) If the Party exercises its opt-in right, the Party opting-in shall pay the Party who progressed the Reactivated Project a one-time option fee of [*]. Upon payment of such amount to the Party offering such opt-in right, the Reactivated Project shall cease to be a Reactivated Project and shall be deemed an “Ongoing Project” and each Reactivated Product related thereto shall cease to be a Reactivated Product and shall be deemed an “Ongoing Product.” Specifically, if NVDI has progressed such Reactivated Product, such Ongoing Project shall be deemed an “NVDI Ongoing Project” and each Reactivated Product related thereto, an “NVDI Ongoing Product”, and if XOMA has progressed such Reactivated Project, such Ongoing Project shall be deemed a “XOMA Ongoing Project” and each Reactivated Product related thereto, a “XOMA Ongoing Product.” In each case, such Ongoing Project and Ongoing Product shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement applicable to such Ongoing Project and Ongoing Product including without limitation the terms and conditions under Sections 2.2(d) and (e), and Article 3.

(C) In the event that the Party receiving the opt-in offer of this Section 2.2(c) does not exercise its rights to opt in, the other Party shall be permitted to progress such Reactivated Project and to research, develop and commercialize all Reactivated Products related to such Reactivated Target, either alone or with a Third Party, free of any further obligation to the other Party under this Section 2.2.

(ii) Match Right. With respect to any Reactivated Project under development by a Party and for which such Party did not offer the opt-in right to the other Party pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) above, the other Party shall have a Match Right for such Reactivated Project at any time before the Phase III Decision Point (the “Match Right Period”). “Phase III Decision Point” means the time when the Party developing such Reactivated Project makes a decision, after a post-Phase II Clinical Trial meeting with the FDA or equivalent regulatory authority with respect to a Reactivated Product related thereto, to conduct a Phase III Clinical Trial with respect to such Reactivated Product. At any time during the Match Right Period with respect to such Reactivated Project, if the Party conducting the development of such Reactivated Project proposes to license or otherwise grant any development and commercialization rights to a Third Party with respect to such Reactivated Project or any Reactivated Product related thereto (a “Third Party Transaction”), then, prior to entering into a binding agreement with respect to the essential terms of such Third Party Transaction, such Party shall provide the other Party with written notice of such terms, together with all reasonably useful information, including all material information provided to the Third Party, to the extent such information was

not previously provided to the receiving Party. The receiving Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to enter into an agreement with the offering Party on substantially the same terms as those contained in such notice by providing written notice of such election within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice (the “Match Period”), provided that to the extent any of the material terms of the Third Party Transaction are specific to the Third Party, its products or business, XOMA and NVDI shall negotiate in good faith substitute terms which shall provide equivalent value therefor. In the event that the receiving Party does not exercise such right within the Match Period, the offering Party will be free to enter into the Third Party Transaction with the Third Party on the terms proposed (or on other terms no more favorable to the Third Party than those offered to the receiving Party). In the event the offering Party enters into such Third Party Transaction, such Party shall have no further obligation to the other Party with respect to such Reactivated Project except as set forth in Article 3.

(iii) Phase III Decision Point Opt-In Rights. In the event that the Party conducting the development of a Reactivated Project: (A) did not offer the opt-in right to the other Party pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) above; (B) did not enter into any Third Party Transaction with respect to such Reactivated Project and/or any Reactivated Product related thereto within the Match Right Period in compliance with Section 2.2(c)(ii); and (C) has advanced such Reactivated Project to a Phase III Decision Point, then:

(W) As soon as practicable following the occurrence of a Phase III Decision Point in respect of a Reactivated Product related to such Reactivated Project, the Party progressing such Reactivated Project shall have the obligation to offer the other Party the right to opt-in on such Reactivated Project and shall provide written notice thereof, together with all reasonably useful data and information in its possession relating to such Reactivated Project, including the memorandum contemplated by the clause (Z) below, to the other Party.

(X) The Party receiving such notice shall have a period of [*] from the date it receives such notice, data, information and memorandum, to evaluate such data, information and memorandum and to inform the other Party as to whether it will opt-in on such Reactivated Project. If the Party exercises its opt-in right, the Party opting-in shall pay the Party who progressed the Reactivated Project a one-time option fee of [*]. Upon payment of such amount to the Party offering such opt-in right, the Reactivated Project shall cease to be a Reactivated Project and shall be deemed an Ongoing Project, and each Reactivated Product related thereto shall cease to be a Reactivated Product and shall be deemed an Ongoing Product, in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.2(c)(i)(B) above.

(Y) In the event that the Party receiving opt-in offer of this Section 2.2(c)(iii) does not exercise its rights to opt in, the other Party shall be permitted to progress such Reactivated Project and to research, develop and commercialize all Reactivated Products related to such Reactivated Target, either alone or with a Third Party, free of any further obligation to the other Party under this Section 2.2.

(Z) Such Phase III Decision Point shall be evidenced by a memorandum to be delivered to the receiving Party together with a notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(iii), and such memorandum shall set forth (1) the rationale for the decision to conduct a Phase III Clinical Trial with respect to the particular Reactivated Product related to such

Reactivated Project, (2) the indication(s) to be pursued in connection with such Phase III, and (3) the estimated date of the first dosing of the first patient in such Phase III. In no event shall there occur the first dosing of the first patient in Phase III prior to delivery of such memorandum and the expiration of the opt-in rights contemplated by this Section 2.2(c)(iii)(Z).

(d) Termination of Development Activities. In the event a Party terminates the development activities with respect to a Reactivated Project or an Ongoing Project for which such Party has sole control and responsibility under Section 2.3 below, such Party shall notify the other Party in writing, and thereupon such Project shall again become an Inactive Project, the Target that is the subject of such Project shall again be deemed an Inactive Target, and each Inactive Product related thereto shall again be deemed an Inactive Product.

(e) Reactivation of Certain Inactive Projects. Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b), with respect to each Inactive Project that was deemed an Inactive Project under Section 2.1(d)(iv) or Section 2.2(d), either Party may progress such Inactive Project and conduct further development and commercialization with respect to the Inactive Products related thereto by providing the other Party with written notice, upon which notice such Project shall again become a Reactivated Project and each such Inactive Product related thereto shall again become a Reactivated Product, in each case subject again to the applicable terms under this Agreement and in particular the provisions under Sections 2.2 and 2.3.

2.3 Parties’ Responsibilities.

(a) NVDI shall have sole control and responsibility with respect to the research and development of the Agreement Targets that are the subjects of the Collaboration Projects, NVDI Reactivated Projects and NVDI Ongoing Projects, and the research, development, commercialization, regulatory affairs and manufacture (including clinical and commercial supply) of all Collaboration Products, NVDI Ongoing Products and NVDI Reactivated Products under this Agreement, in each case in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. XOMA shall have sole control and responsibility with respect to the research and development of the Agreement Targets that are the subjects of the Resumed Projects, XOMA Reactivated Projects and XOMA Ongoing Projects, and the research, development, commercialization, regulatory affairs and manufacture (including clinical and commercial supply) of all Resumed Products, XOMA Ongoing Products and XOMA Reactivated Products under this Agreement, in each case in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, a coordination committee (the “Coordination Committee”) will be maintained to facilitate the sharing of information and ideas as reasonably necessary to enable the Parties to meaningfully preserve and exercise their rights and satisfy their obligations under this Agreement. The Coordination Committee will be comprised of three (3) representatives of each Party and will meet (which meetings may be in person, by videoconference or by teleconference) periodically at such times as the members of the Coordination Committee shall agree. Each Party will use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts to keep the other Party informed of developments of major clinical, medical or commercial relevance that could reasonably be expected to impact such other Party’s ability to meaningfully preserve and exercise its rights and satisfy its obligations under this Agreement.

2.4 Scientific/Regulatory Records; Inspection. Each Party agrees to keep and to require its Affiliates to keep, clear, accurate and complete records in accordance with good scientific practices for a period of at least [*] in sufficient detail to permit compliance with the requirements of this Article 2 (including without limitation with respect to (a) achievement of the events set forth in Section 2.1(c), (b) an Antibody Product’s status as an Inactive Product or Resumed Product, (c) an Agreement Target’s status as an Inactive Target or Resumed Target and (d) assembling, filing and maintaining of submissions to Regulatory Authorities). Upon the written request of a Party (the “Requesting Party”) and not more than once each calendar year, the other Party (the “Responding Party”) shall permit an independent consultant of recognized standing, selected by the Requesting Party and reasonably acceptable to the Responding Party, at the Requesting Party’s expense, to have access during normal business hours to the records of the Responding Party as is reasonably necessary to confirm compliance with the requirements of this Article 2 during any calendar quarter ending not more than [*] prior to the date of such request. The consultant shall disclose to both Parties whether the records confirm such compliance or not, and shall disclose to both Parties the specific details concerning any non-compliance. All information disclosed to such independent consultant, and any verbal or written disclosure by such independent consultant to the Parties, shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of the inspected Party.

The Party owing such royalty-style payments shall pay the invoiced amount within [*] after receipt of the invoice to the account specified on the invoice.

3.8 Payment Reports. For each quarter during which any royalty-style payments are to be paid under this Agreement, the Party owing such royalty-style payments shall provide to the other Party an initial report with a good faith estimate of Net Sales and royalty-style payments for Net Sales, at least [*] prior to the end of the applicable quarter.

3.9 Payment Records; Audits. Each Party agrees to keep and to require its Affiliates to keep, clear, accurate and complete records in accordance with the Accounting Standards for a period of at least [*] in sufficient detail to enable milestone payments, royalty-style payments and any other amounts payable or creditable under this Agreement to be determined.

(a) Access to Records. Upon the written request of the Requesting Party and not more than once each calendar year, the Responding Party shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of recognized standing, selected by the Requesting Party and reasonably acceptable to the Responding Party, at the Requesting Party’s expense, to have access during normal business hours to the records of the Responding Party as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports and calculations made under this Agreement for any calendar quarter ending not more than [*] prior to the date of such request. The accounting firm shall disclose to both Parties whether the reports and calculations are correct or not, and shall disclose to both Parties the specific details concerning any discrepancies. All information disclosed to such independent accountant, and any verbal or written disclosure by such independent accountant to the Parties, shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of the inspected Party.

(b) Discrepancy. If any error in favor of either Party is discovered in the course of inspection under this Section 3.9, the other Party, within [*] after the accounting firm’s disclosure of its findings, shall pay the first Party the amount (plus interest, if applicable) that the first Party would have received in the absence of such error. Inspections conducted under this Section 3.9 shall be at the expense of the inspecting Party, unless a variation or error in favor of

(a) Collaboration Patent Rights and Post-Effective Date Patent Rights. For each Project or Agreement Product, the Controlling Party of such Project or Agreement Product shall be responsible for the filing, prosecution (including any interferences, oppositions, reissue proceedings and reexaminations), appeals and maintenance of all Collaboration Patent Rights and Post-Effective Date Patent Rights claiming or covering a Collaboration Invention or Post-Effective Date Invention, as the case may be, made, conceived or reduced to practice in the course of the development and/or commercialization of such Agreement Product. Such Controlling Party shall provide to the other Party (1) a draft of each and every patent application included in such Patent Rights prior to the filing of such patent application, allowing adequate time for review and comment by such other Party; provided, however, that the Controlling Party shall not be required to delay the initial filing of such patent application if such delay would jeopardize the ability to secure priority status against Third Parties; and (2) copies of all correspondence from any and all patent offices concerning patent applications included in such Patent Rights and an opportunity to comment on any proposed responses, voluntary amendments and submissions of any kind to be made to any and all such patent offices. If the Controlling Party decides not to continue the prosecution or maintenance of any patent application or patent included in such Patent Rights, it shall promptly notify the other Party thereof. Following such notice, the other Party may, in its discretion, take over the prosecution and maintenance of any such patent application or patent, as the case may be, in which case such other Party shall be deemed the Controlling Party with respect thereto. All costs and expenses for the filing, prosecution (including any interferences, oppositions, reissue proceedings and reexaminations), appeals and maintenance of the Collaboration Patent Rights and Post-Effective Date Patent Rights shall be borne by the Controlling Party for such Patent Rights. A Party who files a patent application claiming or covering a Collaboration Invention or Post-Effective Date Invention, or who is responsible for the prosecution of a patent application within the Collaboration Patent Rights or the Post-Effective Date Patent Rights, shall not take any action or make any statement that would reasonably be expected to cause material harm to the patentability, validity or enforceability of any NVDI Background IP, XOMA Background IP, or other Collaboration Patent Right or Post-Effective Date Patent Right without first obtaining the informed consent of the other Party when such NVDI Background IP, XOMA Background IP, or other Collaboration Patent Right or Post-Effective Patent Right is cited by the examiner in an official action during patent prosecution. In the event that an interference is declared by a Patent and Trademark Office between one or more patents or patent applications owned solely by one Party that constitute Patent Rights claiming or covering any Agreement Target or Collaboration Product, Resumed Product, Ongoing Product or Reactivated Product, and one or more patents or patent applications owned or otherwise controlled solely by the other Party that constitute Patent Rights claiming or covering any Agreement Target or Collaboration Product, Resumed Product, Ongoing Product or Reactivated Product, including where such declared interference involves patents or patent applications owned by a Third Party or Third Parties, then the Parties shall in good faith establish within thirty (30) days

of the declaration of such interference or such other time as agreed upon a mutually agreeable process to resolve solely those portions of such interference or interferences which relate to matters in dispute between NVDI and XOMA in a reasonable manner in conformance with all applicable legal standards and to maximize the scope, priority, validity and/or enforceability of the Patent Rights licensed hereunder.

(b) Patent Rights Controlled by NVDI. NVDI shall prosecute and maintain, at its sole expense, the Patent Rights Controlled by NVDI necessary for, and being utilized in, the research and development, and/or commercialization of Resumed Products, XOMA Ongoing Products and XOMA Reactivated Products but excluding any Patent Rights claiming or covering Inventions made, conceived or reduced to practice by NVDI outside of the Original Collaboration or the scope of this Agreement (“Related NVDI Patent Rights”). NVDI shall provide XOMA with (1) drafts of each and every patent application within the Related NVDI Patent Rights; and (2) copies of all correspondence from any and all patent offices concerning patent applications within the Related NVDI Patent Rights and an opportunity to comment on any proposed responses, voluntary amendments and submissions of any kind to be made to any and all such patent offices. If NVDI decides not to continue the prosecution or maintenance of any patent application or patent within the Related NVDI Patent Rights, it shall promptly notify XOMA thereof. Following such notice, XOMA may take over prosecution and maintenance of such patent application or patent within the Related NVDI Patent Rights, and thereafter such patent application or patent will be deemed a patent application or patent within the Related XOMA Patent Rights, as further described in Section 7.2(c) below.

(c) Patent Rights Controlled by XOMA. XOMA shall prosecute and maintain, at its sole expense, the Patent Rights Controlled by XOMA necessary for, and being utilized in, the research and development, and/or commercialization of Collaboration Products, NVDI Ongoing Products and NVDI Reactivated Products, but excluding any patent application claiming Expression and Engineering Technologies and any Patent Rights claiming or covering Inventions made, conceived or reduced to practice by NVDI outside of the Original Collaboration or the scope of this Agreement (“Related XOMA Patent Rights”). XOMA shall provide NVDI with (i) drafts of each and every patent application within the Related XOMA Patent Rights; and (ii) copies of all correspondence from any and all patent offices concerning patent applications within the Related XOMA Patent Rights and an opportunity to comment on any proposed responses, voluntary amendments and submissions of any kind to be made to any and all such patent offices. If XOMA decides not to continue the prosecution or maintenance of any patent application or patent within the Related XOMA Patent Rights, it shall promptly notify NVDI thereof. Following such notice, NVDI may take over prosecution and maintenance of such patent application or patent within the Related XOMA Patent Rights, and thereafter such patent application or patent will be deemed a patent application or patent within the Related NVDI Patent Rights, as further described in Section 7.2(b) above.

(d) Cooperation. At the request of the Party performing the prosecution of any patent application under this Section 7.2, the other Party will cooperate, in all reasonable ways and at the requesting Party’s expense, in connection with the prosecution and maintenance of all such patent applications. Each Party shall make available to the other Party or its respective authorized attorneys, agents or representatives such of its employees or consultants as the

other Party in its reasonable judgment deems necessary in order to assist such other Party with the prosecution and maintenance of such patents. Each Party shall sign or use commercially reasonable efforts to have signed all legal documents necessary in connection with such prosecution and maintenance.

In any such circumstance, the Controlling Party shall have the first right (at its own expense), but shall not be obligated, to bring legal action to enforce the Parties’ rights under the Collaboration Patent Rights or the Post-Effective Date Patent Rights or to defend such proceedings. The other Party will provide reasonable assistance to the Controlling Party (at the Controlling Party’s expense) in any such action or proceeding, including for example lending such other Party’s name to such action or proceeding if requested by the Controlling Party or required by law, and shall have a right (at its own expense) to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel. No settlement of any such action or defense which restricts the scope or affects the enforceability of a patent within the Collaboration Patent Rights or the Post-Effective Date Patent Rights may be entered into by the Controlling Party without the prior consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(ii) Secondary Enforcement Right. If the Controlling Party elects not to bring any legal action for infringement or to defend any proceeding described in Section 7.3(a)(i) and so notifies the other Party, then such other Party may (at its own expense) seek approval from the Controlling Party to bring such a legal action and do so only with the approval from the Controlling Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Controlling Party may provide reasonable assistance to the other Party (at such other Party’s expense) in any such action or proceeding, including for example, lending the Controlling Party’s name to such action or proceeding if required by law, and shall have a right (at its own expense) to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel. No settlement of any such action or defense which restricts the scope or affects the enforceability of a patent within the Collaboration Patent Rights or the Post-Effective Date Patent Rights may be entered into by such other Party without the prior consent of the Controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii) Recoveries. In the event either Party exercises the rights conferred in this Section 7.3(a) and recovers any damages or other sums in such action, suit or proceeding or in settlement thereof, such damages or other sums recovered shall first be applied to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection therewith, including attorneys fees. If such recovery is insufficient to cover all such costs and expenses of both Parties, it shall be shared in proportion to the total such costs and expenses incurred by each Party. If after such reimbursement any funds shall remain from such damages or other sums recovered, 100% of such funds shall be retained by the Party so exercising such rights.

(b) Enforcement of Related NVDI Patent Rights.

(i) Enforcement by NVDI. NVDI shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring any action for infringement of, or to defend any proceedings for the revocation of, or to invalidate or render unenforceable, any patent within the Related NVDI Patent Rights at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control. XOMA will provide reasonable assistance to NVDI (at NVDI’s expense) in such actions or proceedings if so requested, and will lend its name to such actions or proceedings if requested by NVDI or required by law. XOMA shall have the right (at its own expense) to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel. No settlement of any such action or defense which restricts the scope or affects the enforceability of a patent within the Related NVDI Patent Rights that claims or covers a Reactivated Product, XOMA Ongoing Product or Resumed Product may be entered into by NVDI without the prior consent of XOMA, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(ii) Recoveries. In the event NVDI exercises the rights conferred in this Section 7.3(b) and recovers any damages or other sums in such action, suit or proceeding or in settlement thereof, such damages or other sums recovered shall first be applied to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection therewith, including attorneys fees. If such recovery is insufficient to cover all such costs and expenses of both Parties, it shall be shared in proportion to the total such costs and expenses incurred by each Party. If after such reimbursement any funds shall remain from such damages or other sums recovered, all such funds shall be retained by NVDI.

(c) Enforcement of Related XOMA Patent Rights.

(i) Enforcement by XOMA. XOMA shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring any action for infringement of, or to defend any proceedings for the revocation of, or to invalidate or render unenforceable, any patent within the Related XOMA Patent Rights at its own expense, in its own name and entirely under its own direction and control. NVDI will provide reasonable assistance to XOMA (at XOMA’s expense) in such actions or proceedings if so requested, and will lend its name to such actions or proceedings if requested by XOMA or required by law. NVDI shall have the right (at its own expense) to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel. No settlement of any such action or defense which restricts the scope or affects the enforceability of a patent within the Related XOMA Patent Rights that claims or covers an NVDI Ongoing Product or Reactivated Product may be entered into by XOMA without the prior consent of NVDI, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(ii) Recoveries. In the event XOMA exercises the rights conferred in this Section 7.3(c) and recovers any damages or other sums in such action, suit or proceeding or in settlement thereof, such damages or other sums recovered shall first be applied to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection therewith, including attorneys

fees. If such recovery is insufficient to cover all such costs and expenses of both Parties, it shall be shared in proportion to the total such costs and expenses incurred by each Party. If after such reimbursement any funds shall remain from such damages or other sums recovered, all of such funds shall be retained by XOMA.

7.4 Allegations of Infringement by Third Parties. In the event that either Party receives written notice that the use, development, manufacture, sale, import or export of an Agreement Target or an Agreement Product, or any other action by either of them under this Agreement, prior to the expiration of the Term, is alleged to be a violation of the patent or other intellectual property rights of a Third Party, it shall promptly notify the other Party. [*] The Party controlling such action, as provided in this Section 7.4, shall consult with the other Party, and give due consideration to any concerns the other Party may raise, with respect to all significant matters relating to such action. The costs thereof (including any damages, costs or expenses resulting from any action) shall be borne by the Party controlling such action. The Party controlling such action shall not admit or stipulate the invalidity of any Collaboration Patent Rights or Post-Effective Date Patent Rights or settle any such suit, without the written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any recovery obtained as a result of infringement actions governed by this Section 7.4 shall be treated as provided in Section 7.3(a)(iii).

XOMA Restructures Drug Development Collaboration Including Oncology Drug Candidate HCD122

XOMA to Receive Upfront Cash, Potential Milestones and Higher Royalties, Full Funding of Ongoing R&D, Reduction of Existing Loan and Elimination of Certain XOMA Payment Obligations

BERKELEY, Calif., Nov 10, 2008 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) — XOMA Ltd. (Nasdaq:XOMA), a leader in the discovery and development of therapeutic antibodies, today announced the restructuring of its product development collaboration with Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Inc. (“Novartis”), which involves six development programs including the ongoing HCD122 program. Under the restructured agreement Novartis will make an upfront payment to XOMA of $6.2 million; fully fund all future R&D expenses; reduce existing debt by $7.5 million; pay potential milestones of up to $14 million and double-digit royalty rates for two ongoing product programs including HCD122; and provide XOMA with options to develop or receive royalties on four additional programs currently pending selection. In exchange, Novartis will have control over the HCD122 program and the additional ongoing program, as well as the right to expand the development of these programs into additional indications outside of oncology. As part of the agreement, NVS will pay XOMA for all project costs incurred after July 1.

Novartis will pay XOMA royalties on sales of HCD122 and one other active product program candidate, based on aggregate sales in all indications. If either XOMA or Novartis chooses to activate any or all of the four currently pending programs, the developing company will pay the other party reduced royalties on sales of any resulting products. In all cases, royalty rates are subject to certain customary adjustments.

“The restructured agreement with Novartis allows XOMA to focus our resources on proprietary projects like XOMA 052, an anti-inflammatory drug candidate designed for use in multiple diseases, while maintaining a share of the potential value of the product candidates resulting from the collaboration,” noted Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of XOMA. “Importantly, the development of HCD122 can now be expanded under Novartis’ leadership into new disease indications. We believe this expansion is a key step in realizing the full potential of this program.”

About the Agreement

Formed in 2004, the collaboration between XOMA and Novartis (then Chiron Corporation) began with the signing of an exclusive, worldwide, multi-product agreement to develop and commercialize multiple antibody products for the treatment of cancer. The companies shared expenses and revenues, generally on a 70-30 basis, with XOMA’s share being 30 percent. Financial terms included initial payments to XOMA in 2004 totaling $10.0 million and a note agreement, secured by XOMA’s interest in the collaboration, to fund up to 75 percent of the company’s share of expenses beginning in 2005. In the first quarter of 2007, the mutual obligations of XOMA and Novartis to work together on an exclusive basis in oncology expired, except with respect to existing collaborative product development projects.

As of June 30, 2008, XOMA had $21.3 million of outstanding principal on its secured note agreement with Novartis. Under the revised agreement, the principal has been reduced by $7.5 million to $13.8 million. The remaining principal of approximately $13.8 million is due in 2015 and accrues interest at a rate of 2 percent plus LIBOR. Under the revised agreement, no additional draw downs on the note may be made by XOMA.

About HCD122

HCD122 is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets CD40. The investigational drug is in a Phase 1/B-2A clinical trial for the treatment of lymphoma and a Phase 1 clinical trial for the treatment of multiple myeloma. The antibody has a dual mechanism of action that involves inhibition of CD40-ligand mediated growth and survival while recruiting immune effector cells to kill CD40-expressing tumor cells through a process known as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). CD40, a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, is a cell surface antigen expressed in B-cell malignancies and involved in a broad variety of immune and inflammatory responses.

About XOMA

XOMA discovers, develops and manufactures therapeutic antibody and other agents designed to treat inflammatory, autoimmune, infectious and cancerous diseases and is engaged in 16 active development projects. The company’s expanding pipeline includes XOMA 052, an anti-IL-1 beta antibody, and XOMA 629, a synthetic antimicrobial peptide compound derived from bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein.

XOMA’s proprietary development pipeline is primarily funded by multiple revenue streams resulting from the licensing of its antibody technologies, product royalties, development collaborations, and biodefense contracts. XOMA’s technologies and experienced team have contributed to the success of marketed antibody products, including RAPTIVA(r) (efalizumab) for chronic moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, LUCENTIS(r) (ranibizumab injection) for wet age-related macular degeneration and CIMZIA(r) (certolizumab pegol) for Crohn’s disease.

The company has a premier antibody discovery and development platform that incorporates leading antibody phage display libraries and XOMA’s proprietary Human Engineering(tm) and bacterial cell expression technologies. Bacterial cell expression is a key breakthrough biotechnology for the discovery and manufacturing of antibodies and other proteins. As a result, more than 50 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have signed BCE licenses.

In addition to developing its own products, XOMA develops products with premier pharmaceutical companies including Schering-Plough Research Institute and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited. XOMA has a fully integrated product development infrastructure, extending from pre-clinical science to marketing approval, and a team of 330 employees at its Berkeley location.

Certain statements contained herein concerning contingent payments under existing agreements and/or product development or that otherwise relate to future periods are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are based on assumptions that may not prove accurate. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to certain risks inherent in the biotechnology industry and for companies engaged in the development of new products in a regulated market.

Among other things XOMA will not receive contingent payments under existing contracts if related milestone events are not achieved or if royalty-bearing products are not successfully developed, approved for sale and sold.

These and other risks, including those related to the results of discovery and pre-clinical testing; the timing or results of pending and future clinical trials (including the design and progress of clinical trials; safety and efficacy of the products being tested; action, inaction or delay by the FDA, European or other regulators or their advisory bodies; and analysis or interpretation by, or submission to, these entities or others of scientific data); changes in the status of existing collaborative relationships; the ability of collaborators and other partners to meet their obligations; XOMA’s ability to meet the demands of the United States government agency with which it has entered into its government contracts; competition; market demands for products; scale-up and marketing capabilities; availability of additional licensing or collaboration opportunities; international operations; share price volatility; XOMA’s financing needs and opportunities; uncertainties regarding the status of biotechnology patents; uncertainties as to the costs of protecting intellectual property; and risks associated with XOMA’s status as a Bermuda company, are described in more detail in XOMA’s most recent filing on Form 10-K and in other SEC filings. Consider such risks carefully when considering XOMA’s prospects.
