("Santarus") for the license of the Inventions in the therapeutic field of use (the "Santarus License Agreement"); and (ii) an amendment to the 1996 License Agreement to include the license from CSMC to Prometheus (in the diagnostic field of use) and to Santarus (in the therapeutic filed of use) of CSMC's interest in the Joint Inventions.

3. Royalties

3.1 Earned Royalty. As further consideration for all the rights and licenses granted to Prometheus, Prometheus and its sublicensees will pay to The Regents an earned royalty at the following rates:

(i): [***] percent ([***]%) based on the Net Sales of Patent Products manufactured or sold in countries where there are pending patent applications or existing patents within the Patent Rights; and
(ii): [***] percent ([***]%) based on the Net Sales of Patent Products not or sold in countries where there are pending patent applications or existing patents within the Patent Rights.

3.2 Accrual of Earned Royalties. Paragraphs 1.1,1.2, and 1.3 define Patent Rights, Patent Products, and Patent Method, so that royalties will be payable on Patent Products and Patent Method covered by both pending patent applications and issued patents. Earned royalties will accrue in each country for the duration of Patent Rights in that country and will be payable to The Regents when Patent Products are invoiced, or if not invoiced, when delivered to a third party or to itself, an Affiliate, Joint Venture, or the sublicensee in the case where such delivery of the Patent Products to Prometheus, an Affiliate, Joint Venture, or the sublicensee is intended for end use or sold for some financial return. By way of example and not limitation, earned royalties will not accrue on the delivery of sales samples or units used for clinical trials.

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

3.3 Right of Offset. In the event that Prometheus reasonably determines that any Patent Product infringes upon the patent rights of a third party and is obliged to obtain a license under such right, then, in lieu of any other right or remedy, Prometheus shall have the right to deduct (at a rate of [***] percent ([***]%) for every one percent royalty rate of such third party license) from the royalties otherwise due and payable hereunder or the amount, up to a maximum of [***] percent ([***]%) of the royalties otherwise payable, that Prometheus is obliged to pay under the license in order to obtain from the third party whose rights are so infringed the right to the Patent Product.

3.4 Combination Products. In the event that a Patent Product is also a Combination Product, then the Net Sales on which earned royalties are payable by the Licensee shall be calculated as hereinafter set forth. The Net Sales on which an earned royalty is payable for the sale of a Combination Product shall be the portion of the total sales price of the Combination Product equal to the fair market value of the Patent Product (on which Net Sales Licensee shall pay the royalty rate set forth herein) as compared to the fair market value of all products and components of the Combination Product (i.e., the sales price of the Combination Product). The values described above shall be determined by the parties hereto in good faith negotiations, based upon the then available facts and circumstances, particularly, for example, data as to the sale price of the distinct components when sold separately, or the increased sales price of a Combination Product when it has the particular component, as distinguished from the sales price of the same or similar product when it does not have the particular component.

3.5 Timing of Payment. Royalties accruing to The Regents will be paid to The Regents quarterly on or before the following dates of each calendar year:

•: March 31 for the calendar quarter ending December 31;
•: June 30 for the calendar quarter ending March 31;
•: September 30 for the calendar quarter ending June 30; and
•: December 31 for the calendar quarter ending September 30.

3.6 Amount of Payment. Each such payment will be for royalties which accrue up to the most recently completed calendar quarter of Prometheus.

3.7 1996 License Agreement; Multiple Patents.

(a): Pursuant to the 1996 License Agreement between Prometheus, The Regents and CSMC, Prometheus was obligated to pay certain royalties jointly to The Regents and CSMC for products produced using the patent rights licensed under the 1996 License Agreement (the "Original Patent Rights"). The parties acknowledge that the 1996 License Agreement will continue to cover the payment of royalties under the Original Patent Rights to both The Regents and CSMC.
(b): The purpose of this Agreement, currently being entered into between The Regents and Prometheus, is to cover the license of additional patent rights, herein referred to as the Patent Rights, to Prometheus by The Regents. Therefore, (i) this Agreement covers the payment of royalties under the Patent Rights to only The Regents for the Inventions (including UCLA Inventions which are solely owned by The Regents and Inventions which are Joint Inventions which are jointly owned by The Regents and CSMC); and (ii) the 1996 License Agreement will be amended to provide that the 1996 License Agreement covers the payment of royalties under the Patent Rights to CSMC for the Inventions (including Inventions which are Joint Inventions which are jointly owned by The Regents and CSMC).

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

(c): For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby agree that, notwithstanding how many patents or patent applications under the Original Patent Rights or the current Patent Rights being licensed under this Agreement are utilized for a single Patent Product, only one royalty will be earned on the sale of that Patent Product (i.e., the maximum basic rate to be applied would be [***]%.) The parties also agree that if the Patent Rights utilized for a Patent Product cover a Joint Invention, and/or if both Original Patent Rights and current Patent Rights are utilized in a Patent Product, and Prometheus is obligated to pay royalties to under the 1996 License Agreement in addition to the royalties due The Regents hereunder, then (i) the total combined royalty payable by Prometheus to both The Regents and CSMC (under both this Agreement and the 1996 License Agreement) may not exceed [***]% of Net Sales of the Patent Product; and (ii) Prometheus will pay (a) [***]% of the total earned royalty (under both this Agreement and the 1996 License Agreement) on a Patent Product which is a Joint Invention to The Regents and (b) [***]% of the total earned royalty (under both this Agreement and the 1996 License Agreement) on a Patent Product which is a Joint Invention to CSMC.

3.8 Currency. All monies due The Regents will be payable in United States funds collectible at par in San Francisco, California. When Patent Products are sold for monies other than United States dollars, the earned royalties will first be determined in the foreign currency of the country in which such Patent Products were sold and then converted into equivalent United States funds. The exchange rate will be that rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the reporting period.

3.9 Taxes. Earned royalties on Net Sales of Patent Products occurring in any country outside the United States will not be reduced by any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by the government of such country except those taxes, fees, and charges allowed under the provisions of Paragraph 1.4 (Net Sales). The Regents and Prometheus shall each be responsible for its own bank transfer charges.

3.10 Invalidity of Patents. In the event that any patent or any claim thereof included within the Patent Rights is held invalid in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction, unappealable or unappealed, and it is commercially unfeasible to appeal, all obligation to pay royalties based on such patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct therefrom will cease as of the date of such final decision. Prometheus will not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued before such decision or that are based on another patent or claim that has not expired or that is not involved in such decision.

3.11 Sales to U.S. Government. No royalties will be collected or paid hereunder to The Regents on Patent Products sold to the account of the U.S. Government. Prometheus and its sublicensees will reduce the amount charged for Patent Products distributed to the United States Government by an amount equal to the royalty for such Patent Products otherwise due The Regents as provided herein.

3.12 No Duplicative Royalties. In those circumstances in which a royalty is payable to The Regents from the sale of a Patent Product by a licensee of Prometheus, and in which a royalty is also payable to Prometheus from the sale of the same Patent Product by the same licensee, then Prometheus shall not be required to pay a royalty to The Regents with respect to the royalties so received by Prometheus on the same Patent Product, if and to the extent the required royalty is received by The Regents from the licensee. This exclusion is intended to avoid the payment of duplicative royalties, shall be strictly construed, and shall not apply to other forms of compensation paid to Prometheus by its licensees.

3.13 Reduction in Royalty Rate. In the event that no patent with respect to any Patent Rights issues within [***] years of the Effective Date, then the royalty payable on the sale of a Patent Product shall be reduced to [***]% of the amount of the Net Sales Price received by Prometheus or its licensee therefore. This reduction shall apply prospectively only, and shall continue only until such time, if ever, a patent covering such Patent Right is issued.

4. Due Diligence

4.1 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Prometheus, upon execution of this Agreement, will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, manufacture, market and sell Patent Products in commercially reasonable quantities sufficient to meet the market demands therefor.

4.2 Business Judgment. Prometheus will be entitled to exercise prudent and reasonable business judgment in the manner in which it meets its due diligence obligations hereunder. In no case, however, will Prometheus be relieved of its obligations to meet the due diligence provisions of this Article 4 (Due Diligence).

4.3 Government Approvals. Prometheus will obtain all necessary governmental approvals in each country it chooses to manufacture, use, or sell Patent Products.

4.4 Diligence Milestones. If Prometheus is unable to fill the market demand for Patent Products following commencement of marketing at any time during the exclusive period of this Agreement; then The Regents will have the right and option to terminate this Agreement or reduce the exclusive licenses granted to Prometheus to non-exclusive licenses in accordance with Paragraph 4.6 hereof. The exercise of this right and option by The Regents supersedes the rights granted in Article 2 (Grant). If additional patents are added to the Patent Rights, appropriate diligence milestones for the Inventions covered by such patents will be mutually agreed to by the parties and added to this Section.

4.5 Development Expenditures. In addition to the obligations set forth above, Prometheus will spend an aggregate of not less than $[***] for the development and marketing of Patent Products during the first 5 years of this Agreement.

4.6 Exercise of Rights. To exercise either the right to terminate this Agreement or reduce the exclusive licenses granted to Prometheus to non-exclusive licenses for lack of diligence required in this Article 4 (Due Diligence), The Regents will give Prometheus written notice of the deficiency. Prometheus thereafter has 120 days to cure the deficiency and provide The Regents with written notice of such cure. If Prometheus has not cured the deficiency within the 120-day period and has not provided written tangible evidence to The Regents thereof, then The Regents may, at its option, terminate this Agreement or reduce the exclusive licenses granted to Prometheus to non-exclusive licenses by giving written notice to Prometheus. These notices will be subject to Article 15 (Notices).

5. Progress and Royalty Reports

5.1 Royalty Reports. Commencing ninety (90) days after the first commercial sale of a Patent Product, Prometheus will provide The Regents with quarterly royalty reports to The Regents on or before each February 28, May 31, August 31, and November 30 of each year. Each such royalty report will cover the most recently completed calendar quarter of Prometheus (October through December, January through March, April through June, and July through September) and will show:

5.1a: the gross sales and Net Sales of Patent Products sold by Prometheus and reported to Prometheus as sold by its sublicensees during the most recently completed calendar quarter;
5.1b: the number of Patent Products sold or distributed by Prometheus and reported to Prometheus as sold or distributed by its sublicensees;

13.2 Amendments Requested by Prometheus. The Regents will use all reasonable efforts to amend any patent application to include claims requested by Prometheus and required to protect the Patent Products contemplated to be sold or Patent Method to be practiced under this Agreement.

13.3 Extensions. The Regents and Prometheus will cooperate in applying for an extension of the term of any patent included within Patent Rights, if appropriate, under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984. Prometheus will prepare all such documents, and The Regents will execute such documents and will take such additional action as Prometheus may reasonably request in connection therewith.

13.4 Foreign Filings. The Regents will, at the request of Prometheus, file, prosecute, and maintain patent applications and patents covered by Patent Rights in foreign countries if available. Prometheus must notify The Regents within seven months of the filing of the corresponding United States application of its decision to request The Regents to file foreign counterpart patent applications. This notice concerning foreign filing must be in writing and must identify the countries desired. The absence of such a notice from Prometheus to The Regents within the seven month period will be considered an election by Prometheus not to request The Regents to secure foreign patent rights on behalf of Prometheus. The Regents will have the right to file patent applications at its own expense in any country Prometheus has not included in its list of desired countries, and such applications and resultant patents, if any, will not be included in the licenses granted under this Agreement.

13.5 Prosecution Expenses. All present and future costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining all United States and foreign patent applications and all costs and fees relating to the preparation and filing of patents covered by Patent Rights will be borne by Prometheus.

13.6 Term of Obligation. The obligation of Prometheus to underwrite and to pay patent preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, and related costs will continue for costs incurred until thirty (30) days after receipt by either party of a notice of termination ("Notice of Termination") of this Agreement or license with respect to a particular patent or patent application within the Patent Rights. Prometheus will reimburse The Regents for all patent costs incurred during the term of this Agreement and for thirty (30) days thereafter whether or not invoices for such costs are received during the thirty-day period after receipt of a Notice of Termination. Prometheus may with respect to any particular patent application or patent terminate its obligations in any or all designated countries upon thirty (30) days written notice to The Regents. The Regents may continue prosecution and/or maintenance of such application(s) or patent(s) at its sole discretion and expense, provided, however, that Prometheus will have no further licenses hereunder.

13.7 Small Entity Status. Prometheus will notify The Regents of any change of its status as a small entity (as defined by the United States Patent and Trademark Office) and of the first sublicense granted to an entity that does not qualify as a small entity as defined therein.

13.8 Patent Marking. Prometheus will ▇▇▇▇ all Patent Products made, used, or sold under the terms of this Agreement, or their containers, in accordance with the applicable patent marking laws.

13.9 Instructions to Counsel. The Regents have given instructions to The Regents' patent counsel to forward all relevant patent prosecution documentation covered in the Patent Rights to Prometheus

simultaneously when forwarding such documentation to The Regents so long as this Agreement is active. Prometheus may request that The Regents supply estimates of patent expenses associated with the filing and prosecution of foreign and United States patents in the Patent Rights, and The Regents shall make reasonable efforts to supply such information to Prometheus on a timely basis. Prometheus may also request estimates of such expenses from The Regents' patent counsel if Prometheus desires to do so.

13.10 Patent Infringement. In the event that either party learns of the substantial infringement of any patent licensed under this Agreement, such party will call the attention of the other party thereto in writing and will provide the other party with reasonable evidence of such infringement. Both parties to this Agreement acknowledge that during the period and in a jurisdiction where Prometheus has exclusive rights under this Agreement, neither will notify a third party of the infringement of any of Patent Rights without first obtaining consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Both parties will use their best efforts in cooperation with each other to terminate such infringement without litigation.

13.11 Enforcement. If Prometheus desires that Patent Rights be enforced against infringers, Prometheus either may request permission from The Regents to file suit against the infringement of Patent Rights or may request that The Regents take legal action against the infringement of Patent Rights. Such request must be made in writing and must include reasonable evidence of such infringement and damages to Prometheus. If the infringing activity has not been abated within 90 days following the effective date of such request, The Regents will have the right to elect to:

13.11a: commence suit on its own account; or in the case of Joint Inventions, jointly with the co-owner; or
13.11b: refuse to participate in such suit; and

The Regents will give notice of its election in writing to Prometheus by the end of the 100th day after receiving notice of such request from Prometheus. Prometheus may thereafter bring suit for patent infringement if and only if The Regents elects not to commence suit and if the infringement occurred during the period and in a jurisdiction where Prometheus had exclusive rights under this Agreement. However, in the event Prometheus elects to bring suit in accordance with this Paragraph, The Regents may thereafter join such suit at its own expense.

13.12 Infringement Expenses. Such legal action as is decided upon will be at the expense of the party on whose behalf the suit is brought and all recoveries recovered thereby will belong to such party, provided, however, that legal action brought jointly by The Regents and Prometheus and participated in by both will be at the joint expense of the parties and all recoveries will be allocated in the following order: a) to each party reimbursement in equal amounts of the attorney's costs, fees, and other related expenses to the extent each party paid for such costs, fees, and expenses until all such costs, fees, and expenses are consumed for each party; and b) any remaining amount shared jointly by them in proportion to the share of expenses paid by each party.

13.13 Cooperation. Each party will cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings instituted hereunder but at the expense of the party on account of whom suit is brought. Such litigation will be controlled by the party bringing the suit, except that The Regents may be represented by counsel of its choice in any suit brought by Prometheus.

13.14 1996 License Agreement. As both The Regents and CSMC have an ownership interest in the Joint Inventions, the license of the Patent Rights covering such Joint Inventions to Prometheus is covered by both (i) this Agreement (for license of The Regents' interest in the Patent Rights); and (ii) the 1996 License Agreement (for license of CSMC's interest in the Patent Rights). This Agreement provides The Regents with certain rights with respect to prosecution and maintenance and other matters affecting The Regent's interest in the Patent Rights, while the 1996 License Agreement

provides CSMC with certain rights with respect to CSMC's interest in the Patent Rights. The administrative procedures and obligations of Prometheus with respect to protecting such rights are not completely consistent with respect to both agreements; therefore, The Regents agree to cooperate in all reasonable respects in order to assist Prometheus in fulfilling its obligations under both this Agreement as well as the 1996 License Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the agreements relating to third party infringement matters, The Regents and Prometheus will work in good faith with CSMC to reach an equitable resolution of any such matters.

14. Indemnification

14.1 Obligation. Prometheus will (and require its sublicensees to) indemnify, hold harmless, and defend The Regents, its officers, employees, and agents; the sponsors of the research that led to the Invention; the inventors of any invention covered by patents or patent applications in Patent Rights (including the Patent Products and Patent Method contemplated thereunder) and their employers against any and all claims, suits, losses, damage, costs, fees, and expenses resulting from or arising out of exercise of this license or any sublicense. This indemnification will include, but will not be limited to, any product liability.

14.2 Insurance. Prometheus, at its sole cost and expense, will insure its activities in connection with the work under this Agreement and obtain, keep in force, and maintain products liability insurance (or an equivalent program of self-insurance) in a minimum of $[***] in coverage per occurrence and, upon initiation of any human clinical studies using a therapeutic molecule covered by the Patent Rights, Prometheus shall have first increased its insurance coverage to a minimum of $[***] in the aggregate. It should be expressly understood, however, that the coverages and limits referred to under the above will not in any way limit the liability of Prometheus. Prometheus will furnish The Regents with certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with all requirements upon written request of The Regents. Such certificates will:

14.2a: Provide for 30 day advance written notice to The Regents of any modification;
14.2b: Indicate that The Regents has been endorsed as an additional Insured under the coverages referred to under the above; and
14.2c: Include a provision that the coverages will be primary and will not participate with nor will be excess over any valid and collectable insurance or program of self-insurance carried or maintained by The Regents.

If, in the future, reasonable reductions and deletions are recommended by an independent professional insurance consultant, in view of the nature of Prometheus' business activities and the availability of reasonably priced insurance coverage, then The Regents will consider such reductions or deletions. Nothing in the preceding sentence, however, shall obligate The Regents to make such reductions or deletions.

14.3 Notification. The Regents will promptly notify Prometheus in writing of any claim or suit brought against The Regents in respect of which The Regents intends to invoke the provisions of this Article 15 (Indemnification). Prometheus will keep The Regents informed on a current basis of its defense of any claims pursuant to this Article 14 (Indemnification).

15. Notices

15.1 Any notice or payment required to be given to either party will be deemed to have been properly given and to be effective:

Any other attempt by Licensee to assign this Agreement is void unless Licensee obtains the prior written consent of The Regents.

17. Late Payments

17.1 In the event royalty payments, fees, or patent prosecution costs are not received by The Regents when due, Prometheus will pay to The Regents interest charges at a rate of ten percent (10%) simple interest per annum. Such interest will be calculated from the date payment was due until actually received by The Regents.

19. Failure to Perform

19.1 In the event of a material failure of performance due under the terms of this Agreement and if it becomes necessary for either party to undertake legal action against the other on account thereof, then the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees in addition to costs and necessary disbursements.

20. Governing Laws

20.1 THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, excluding any choice of law rules that would direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, but the scope and validity of any patent or patent application will be governed by the applicable laws of the country of such patent or patent application.

21. Government Approval or Registration

21.1 If this Agreement or any associated transaction is required by the law of any nation to be either approved or registered with any governmental agency, Prometheus will assume all legal obligations to do so. Prometheus will notify The Regents if it becomes aware that this Agreement is subject to a United States or foreign government reporting or approval requirement. Prometheus will make all necessary filings and pay all costs including fees, penalties, and all other out-of-pocket costs associated with such reporting or approval process.

22. Export Control Laws

23. Force Majeure

23.1 The parties to this Agreement will be excused from any performance required hereunder if such performance is rendered impossible or unfeasible due to any acts of God, catastrophes, or other major events beyond their reasonable control, including, without limitation, war, riot, and insurrection; laws, proclamations, edicts, ordinances, or regulations; strikes, lock-outs, or other serious labor disputes; and floods, fires, explosions, or other natural disasters. However, any party to this Agreement will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon 30 days' prior written notice if either party is unable to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement due to any of the causes mentioned above and such inability continues for a period of one year. Notices will be subject to Article 15 (Notices).

24. Confidentiality

24.1 Prometheus and The Regents respectively will treat and maintain the proprietary business, patent prosecution, software, engineering drawings, process and technical information, and other proprietary information ("Proprietary Information") of the other party in confidence using at least the same degree of care as that party uses to protect its own proprietary information of a like nature for a period from the date of disclosure until five years after the date of termination of this Agreement. This confidentiality obligation will apply to the information defined as "Data" under the Secrecy Agreement, and such Data will be treated as Proprietary Information hereunder.

24.2 All Proprietary Information will be labeled or marked confidential or as otherwise similarly appropriate by the disclosing party, or if the Proprietary Information is orally disclosed, it will be reduced to writing or some other physically tangible form, marked and labeled as set forth above by the disclosing party, and delivered to the receiving party within 30 days after the oral disclosure as a record of the disclosure and the confidential nature thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Prometheus and The Regents may use and disclose Proprietary Information to its employees, agents, consultants, contractors, and, in the case of Prometheus, its sublicensees, provided that any such parties are bound by a like duty of confidentiality.

24.3 Nothing contained herein will in any way restrict or impair the right of Prometheus or The Regents to use, disclose, or otherwise deal with any Proprietary Information:

24.3a: that recipient can demonstrate by written records was previously known to it;
24.3b: that is now, or becomes in the future, public knowledge other than through acts or omissions of recipient;
24.3c: that is lawfully obtained without restrictions by recipient from sources independent of the disclosing party;
24.3d: that is required to be disclosed to a governmental entity or agency in connection with seeking any governmental or regulatory approval, or pursuant to the lawful requirement or request of a governmental entity or agency; or
24.3e: that The Regents is required to disclose pursuant to the California Public Records Act or other applicable law.

24.4 Upon termination of this Agreement, Prometheus and The Regents will destroy or return to the disclosing party proprietary information received from the other in its possession within 15 days following the effective date of termination. Prometheus and The Regents will provide each other, within 30 days following termination, with a written notice that Proprietary Information has been returned or destroyed. Each party may, however, retain one copy of Proprietary Information for archival purposes in non-working files.

25. Infringement under Drug Price Competition Act

25.1 In the event either party receives notice pertaining to any patent included within Patent Rights pursuant to the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, (Public Law ▇▇-▇▇▇, "▇▇▇ ▇▇▇") including but not necessarily limited to notices pursuant to Sections 101 and 103 of the Act from persons who have filed an abbreviated NDA ("ANDA") or a "paper" NDA, or in the case of an infringement of Patent Rights as defined in Section 271(e) of Title 35 of the United States Code, such party will notify the other party promptly.
