PDL will own all rights, title and interest to all Products, PDL Materials, PDL Intellectual Property Rights, PDL Patent Rights and PDL Trade Secrets including, without limitation, all in process materials used to produce Products and paid for by PDL, cell lines, cell banks, data, marketing plans, product lines, product plans and records (except to the extent the data or records contain ICOS’s Intellectual Property Rights or Confidential Information) produced pursuant to such Work and Quality Statements and all Intellectual Property Rights in and to all of the foregoing (collectively, “PDL Property”); provided, however, that PDL Property will not include any right, title or interest in or to any Intellectual Property Rights or Confidential Information owned by ICOS, including without limitation [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]. ICOS grants to PDL a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (except to third parties for purposes of manufacturing as described in the last sentence of this Section 3.6), royalty free license, to use ICOS’s Intellectual Property Rights developed only as a result of performing the Services for PDL under the Work and Quality Statements, including but not limited to batch records and other such information (the “ICOS Project Related IP”), solely for the purpose of permitting PDL to perform clinical trials and file for an IND or an IND Amendment with the FDA. PDL shall have the right to sublicense its rights in ICOS Project Related IP granted

pursuant to this Section 3.6 for the sole purpose of permitting the third party sublicensees to perform manufacturing services that are substantially similar to the Services and related to such PDL Property, provided that each sublicensee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 10 to the same extent as PDL is bound. In the event that PDL’s license rights granted under this Section 3.6 are terminated at any time for any reason, all such sublicenses shall terminate. PDL shall include in all of its sublicense agreements granted hereunder provisions for such termination.

3.7 Assistance with Transfer of PDL Property.

ICOS agrees that during or after the term of this Agreement, PDL, at its option, may elect to engage a third party to perform the same services or services substantially similar to the Services at any time during or after the term of this Agreement. Subject to both (a) the availability of ICOS personnel, which shall not be unreasonably or unduly withheld, and (b) PDL compensating ICOS for its time spent in complying with its obligations under this paragraph [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] in connection with such obligations, ICOS agrees to provide all necessary assistance to PDL in transferring PDL Property to such third parties that PDL engages to perform such services.

4.1 Proprietary Information to Provide Services

As soon as practicable after the parties’ execution of Work and Quality Statements, PDL shall supply to ICOS all PDL Materials and shall disclose to ICOS all PDL Trade Secrets necessary for ICOS to perform the Services to be provided under such Work and Quality Statements. PDL hereby grants ICOS during the term of the applicable Work and Quality Statements the non-exclusive right to use such PDL Patent Rights, PDL Trade Secrets and PDL Materials as are necessary for ICOS to perform the Services for the sole purpose of providing the related Services. ICOS acknowledges it may not use any such rights, information or materials for any purpose other than as required to perform the Services.

4.2 Information Regarding Hazards

PDL shall also provide to ICOS on an ongoing basis throughout the term of this Agreement prompt notice of any information it receives involving the PDL Materials or Product that relates to any hazards to the health or safety of any personnel of ICOS or the possibility of cross-contamination of any other products being manufactured or stored by ICOS. ICOS shall promptly notify PDL of any information it receives relating to (a) the safety of the PDL Materials or Product, including any confirmed or unconfirmed information on adverse, serious, or unexpected events, including health or safety risks, associated with the use or toxicity of the

Product, or (b) the possibility that cross-contamination has occurred with other Products manufactured or stored by ICOS.

5. Shipping

ICOS agrees to work with PDL to deliver and transfer title to the Product in such locations and in such a manner as directed by PDL, provided that any such arrangement shall not materially alter ICOS’s obligations, or expose ICOS to any additional liabilities, under or arising out of this Agreement. Notwithstanding, all Product that ICOS Processes pursuant to this Agreement shall be packaged and shipped FOB ICOS’s facilities and in accordance with PDL’s written instructions and in compliance with all applicable shipping regulations. The parties acknowledge that, according to the Quality Statement, ICOS may not ship the Product to PDL until PDL has authorized such shipment. In the event PDL does not grant such shipping authorization within [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] following the date that ICOS has provided notice to PDL that it is prepared to ship the Product, the Product will be deemed to have been delivered to PDL upon the expiration of such [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] period for all purposes under this Agreement (including, without limitation, to determine whether ICOS has timely delivered the Product to PDL, to begin the evaluation period of the Product as described in Section 6.1A, and to transfer the title and risk of loss in the Product to PDL). All risk in and title to the Product shall pass to PDL on delivery by ICOS. Unless the parties agree otherwise in the applicable Work Statement, PDL shall designate a shipping company, coordinate with such shipping company for the shipment of the Product, and be billed directly by the shipping company for all related shipping costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shipment may, on agreement of the parties, be arranged by ICOS and at terms and with a carrier reasonably acceptable to PDL.

6. Inspection and Acceptance

6.1 Evaluation Period

A. All Product shipped from ICOS to PDL shall comply in all material respects with the applicable Acceptance Criteria and Manufacture and Release Requirements and shall be accompanied by a certificate of analysis in a form to be agreed on by the parties. PDL shall have[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] from the date the Product is delivered to PDL to evaluate the Product and reject the acceptance thereof; provided, however, that PDL may reject any Product only if (i) ICOS fails to deliver a certificate of analysis, (ii) the Product does not meet the Acceptance Criteria as of the date of delivery in any material respect, (iii) the Product was not Processed according to the Manufacture and Release Specifications in any material respect, or (iv) the Product was not manufactured according to cGMPs in any material respect. In the absence of PDL notifying ICOS of rejection within the above described [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] period, PDL will be deemed to have accepted the Product as delivered.

B. In the event that the Schedules in a particular Work Statement are estimates only, PDL shall not be entitled to cancel any unfulfilled part of the Services or refuse acceptance of Product related to such Work Statement on grounds of reasonably late performance

of the Services or reasonably late delivery of the Product, as described in section 3.2.A. In such event, and notwithstanding Section 12, ICOS shall not be liable for any loss, damage, costs or expenses of any nature, whether direct or consequential, arising out of any delay in performance or delivery howsoever caused; or arising out of any failure to produce the estimated quantities of Product for delivery on the estimated schedule.

6.2 Rejection of Product

A. If PDL rejects any of the Product pursuant to Section 6.1A, PDL shall (i) immediately provide to ICOS written notice of rejection which shall state in reasonable detail the reasons for such rejection and (ii) provide ICOS with the opportunity to conduct its own tests on such rejected Product. PDL shall return all remaining unused Product to ICOS and require that ICOS replace such rejected Product; provided, however, that PDL may retain only that portion of the rejected Product that is then being used for laboratory testing, and may use such retained portion solely to complete such tests but in no event may PDL use any of the rejected Product for any human clinical testing or trials after becoming aware of the basis for such rejection (and PDL shall indemnify ICOS for all liabilities, costs and damages incurred by ICOS resulting from PDL’s breach of this limitation on use). ICOS shall replace the Product (as mutually agreed) as soon as practicable. In no case shall ICOS take more than [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] to replace such Product.

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if PDL rejects the Product for the reasons stated in Section 6.1A(ii) or (iii) and the parties disagree on whether PDL is entitled to so reject such Product, then (i) analysts from both parties shall promptly meet to determine that the methods of analysis are the same and are being executed in the same manner, (ii) carefully controlled and split samples shall be sent from one site to another for testing in an attempt to reach agreement, and (iii) the parties shall use good faith efforts for a period of [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] after completing such tests to resolve whether PDL is entitled to reject such Product. In the event that the parties cannot resolve their dispute in the manner described, an independent laboratory acceptable to both parties shall be qualified and shall utilize agreed on test methods to test the Product in dispute (“Disputed Product”). The costs of such independent laboratory shall be borne by the parties equally; provided, however, that the party that is determined to be incorrect in the dispute shall be responsible for all such costs and shall reimburse the correct party for its share of such costs incurred. The decision of such independent laboratory shall be in writing and shall be binding on both ICOS and PDL.

C. If PDL properly rejects Product pursuant to Section 6.1A and 6.2B, or if ICOS breaches its warranty stated in Section 10.1B subject to the time limitation regarding notice of breach as stated therein, and ICOS cannot replace the Product with conforming Product within the time period set forth in Section 6.2A, then ICOS [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]; provided, however, that ICOS will not wait for the time period in Section 6.2A to expire before [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] if ICOS has earlier knowledge that it will be unable to replace the Product [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]. Nothing in this Section shall permit ICOS to cancel its remaining obligations under the Work and Quality Statements (e.g., obligations regarding transfer of PDL Property and confidentiality) or terminate this Agreement as it relates to other Work Statements. The

provisions of this Section 6.2 shall be the sole remedies available to PDL with respect to Product that PDL properly rejects.

7. Fees and Invoices

7.1 Fees

In consideration for ICOS performing the Services, PDL shall pay to ICOS such amounts as described in the Price and Payment Terms section of the applicable Work Statement. All fees are exclusive of sales tax or of any other applicable taxes, levies, duties and fees of whatever nature imposed by or under the authority of any governmental authority, which shall be paid by PDL (other than taxes based on ICOS’s income).

7.2 Invoices

ICOS shall invoice PDL as provided in the Price and Payment Terms section of the applicable Work Statement. PDL shall pay the total amount of each invoice within [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] of receipt of the invoice.

In the event PDL fails to make payment within [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] of the date of such notice, then (a) all unpaid amounts shall accrue interest from the date of the applicable invoice at a monthly rate equal to the lower of [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] percent ([CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]%) or the highest rate permitted by law, and (b) ICOS may terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 14.2A upon written notice to PDL (unless PDL’s failure to pay is due to its rejection of Product pursuant to Section 6.2A and the parties are within the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 6.2B) provided that such termination will not forgive PDL’s obligation to pay all amounts owing to ICOS.

8. Raw Materials

ICOS will be responsible for procuring, testing, releasing and maintaining sufficient inventory of all raw materials necessary to Process the Product in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Work and Quality Statements; provided, however, that PDL shall reimburse ICOS for the purchase of unusual or special raw materials, which are to be identified on the applicable Work Statement as the “PDL Raw Materials,” in such amount and in the manner as described in such Work Statement.

9. Confidentiality

9.1 Non-disclosure

Each party agrees (a) to take all reasonable precautions and to use its commercially reasonable efforts (provided such efforts shall be no less than what such party uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care) to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information that such party (the “Recipient”) obtains in respect to the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) and (b) not to use or disclose to any third

parties Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party other than as permitted by Section 9.2.

A Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only (a) to its employees solely for purposes of performing the Services, (b) with the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party and subject to any non-disclosure agreement that the Disclosing Party wishes to execute with the third party recipient of the Confidential Information, or (c) to appropriate regulatory authorities, attorneys and accountants and pursuant to any order of a court, administrative agency or other governmental authority, provided that the Disclosing Party has been provided with reasonable prior notice so that the Disclosing Party can take actions to prevent such disclosure or mitigate the effect of such disclosure on the Disclosing Party, and (d) to its attorneys, advisors, investors, prospective acquirors and investors, lenders and other financing sources, and to strategic partners or licensees of the Products, provided that such disclosure shall be made under terms of confidentiality at least as protective as those herein.

9.3 Terms of This Agreement

Except as required by law and disclosure to each party’s respective accountants and legal counsel, neither party shall disclose to any third party any information about this Agreement other than the existence of this Agreement, without the other party’s prior written consent. Each party shall give the other at least ten (10) business days advance written notice, unless such number of days must be shortened to comply with a legal request, of a disclosure required by applicable law and will cooperate with the other party to minimize the scope and content of such disclosure.

9.4 Press Release
