2.2                                           Decision-Making.  The JRC shall act by consensus.  The representatives from each Party will have, collectively, one (1) vote on behalf of that Party.  If the JRC cannot reach consensus on any matter requiring a vote then either Party may refer the matter to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of such Party for resolution.  The CEOs shall use good faith efforts to promptly resolve such matter.  If the CEOs cannot resolve the matter within ten (10) Business Days, then the CEO of ATI shall have the final decision-making authority on such matter.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein is intended to diminish the dispute resolution rights in Section 10.2.

2.3                               Discontinuation of the JRC.  The JRC shall continue to exist until the first to occur of (a) the First Commercial Sale of a Product in the Territory; (b) the Parties mutually agree to disband the JRC; or (c) Rigel provides to ATI written notice of its intention to no longer participate in the JRC.  Following discontinuation of the JRC as described in (a), (b), or (c) above, the JRC shall have no further obligations under this Agreement and ATI shall have the right to solely decide, without consultation with Rigel, any matters previously before the JRC, consistent with the principles set forth herein (including the limitations on JRC authority set forth in Section 2.1(c)).

2.4                               Reports and Compliance.  In addition to information and reports required elsewhere in this Agreement, during the Term, ATI shall, [***] after the Effective Date and each [***] period thereafter, provide Rigel with a written report summarizing in reasonable detail, on a country-by-country basis, ATI’s, its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ activities and progress related to the Development of Products in the Field, including the major activities performed by ATI during such [***] period, conduct of non-clinical activities and clinical trials, information regarding the status of Regulatory Approvals and any future planned activities.  Rigel shall have the opportunity to reasonably seek further explanation or clarification of matters covered in such reports, and ATI shall in good faith endeavor to provide such explanation or clarification as may be requested by Rigel.

2.5                               Responsibility of ATI. ATI shall be responsible for all activities it wishes to perform under the license granted under this Agreement, including but not limited to performing its diligence as described in Section 2.6, Development, Manufacturing, and Commercialization of all Products and all costs associated therein.

(a)                                 Notification; Payment. For clarity, each of the foregoing Development milestone payments is payable a maximum of one (1) time only, even if the corresponding Development milestone event is achieved more than once. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Rigel be entitled to receive from ATI more than $10,000,000, payable in accordance with this Section 4.3. ATI shall notify Rigel in writing, within five (5) Business Days of the first occurrence of each of the milestone events in this Section 4.3. The corresponding milestone payment shall be due within [***] after the occurrence of the applicable milestone event or, in the case of milestone payments due for [***],[***] from ATI’s receipt of [***].

(b)                                 It is understood and agreed that in determining whether the Milestone Events in Section 4.2 or 4.3 have been achieved, it does not matter which Product (comprising any of the Compounds), indication or Route of Administration began first in development.  For clarity, the “first Product” refers to a Product that is first to achieve such milestone.  For example, the Milestone Events of Section 4.2 can have varying Products, indications and/or Routes of Administration, but each is paid only once.  Also for example, once [***] has been achieved, [***] or [***] may be achieved with the same or a different Product.  And, in each case, [***] will be achieved before [***] and [***] will be achieved before [***].

(c)                                  The principles of Section 4.2(b) shall apply to the milestone events and payments under this Section 4.3 in the same way as they apply under Section 4.2.

4.4                               Royalty Payments. ATI shall pay Rigel royalties on Annual Net Sales of Products at the following rates with respect to Annual Net Sales achieved during each applicable Calendar Year during the Term, subject to the royalty adjustments set forth in Section 4.5:

4.5                               Royalty Term and Adjustments.

(a)                                 Royalty Term.  ATI’s royalty obligations to Rigel under this Section 4.5 shall expire on a country-by-country and Product-by- Product basis on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Patent Rights containing a Valid Claim Covering the composition of matter of such Product or its method of use in the Field, in the country of sale have expired or been terminated without right to further appeal, or (ii) in such countries in the Territory where [***], ten years from the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country (the “Royalty Term” with respect to such Product and such country).  Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term applicable to any Product in any country, the licenses under Rigel Intellectual Property under Section 3.1 shall convert to exclusive, fully paid-up, non-royalty-bearing licenses with respect to all Rigel Intellectual Property.

(b)                                 Royalty Rate Adjustments.

(1)  Know-how Royalty.  During the applicable Royalty Term, in any country that does not have a Valid Claim Covering the given Product, ATI shall pay Rigel on Annual Net Sales of such Product in such country a royalty equal to [***] on such Annual Net Sales under Section 4.4 (i.e., at [***] as applied to Annual Net Sales of such Product in such country).

(2)  Third Party Royalty Offset.  If ATI (a) reasonably determines in good faith that, [***]; or (b) [***], then the amount of Rigel’s royalty payments under Section 4.4, with respect to Annual Net Sales for such Product in such country shall, subject to Section 4.5(b)(3), be reduced by [***] of the amount paid by ATI to such Third Party that is reasonably and appropriately allocable to, as applicable, such Product in such country.

(3) Limit on Deductions.  In no event will a deduction, or the aggregate deductions, under Section 4.5 (b) (1) or 4.5 (b) (2) reduce any royalty payment made by ATI to Rigel in respect of Annual Net Sales of such Product pursuant to Section 4.4, to less than [***] of the royalty otherwise due pursuant to Section 4.4 on such Product in such country.

(4)  Combination Product Adjustments.  Solely for the purpose of calculating Net Sales of Combination Products, if ATI sells the Product in the form of a Combination Product in a particular country, Net Sales of such Combination Product in such country for the purpose of determining the royalty due to Rigel pursuant to Section 4.4 will be calculated by [***]. If, on a country-by-country basis, [***], Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalties due to Rigel for the Combination Product will be calculated by [***]. If, on a country-by-country basis, [***], Net Sales for the purposes of determining royalties due to Rigel for the Combination Product will be [***].

4.6                                           Quarterly Payment Timings.  All royalties due under Section 4.4 shall be paid quarterly, within [***] after the end of the applicable Calendar Quarter for which royalties are due.

4.8                               Payment Method.

(a)  Wire.  All payments due under this Agreement to Rigel shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Rigel.

(c)  Late Payments.  Without limiting any other rights or remedies available to Rigel hereunder, if ATI does not pay any amount due on or before the due date, ATI shall pay to Rigel interest on any such amounts from and after the date such payments are due under this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to [***] or the maximum applicable legal rate, if less, calculated on the total number of days payment is delinquent.  In addition, ATI shall reimburse Rigel for all costs, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred in the collection of late payments.

4.9                         Taxes.  All payments due and payable under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable Laws.  If ATI is so required to deduct or withhold, ATI will (i) promptly notify Rigel of such requirement; (ii) pay to the relevant Governmental Authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Rigel; and (iii) promptly forward to Rigel an official receipt (or certified copy) or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Rigel evidencing such payment to such authorities.

4.10                  Books and Records; Audit Rights. ATI shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records of the latest [***] relating to milestones, gross sales, Net Sales, and all underlying revenue and expense data relating to the calculations of Net Sales and all payments due under this Article 4.  For the sole purpose of verifying amounts payable to Rigel, Rigel shall have the right [***] per Calendar Year, at Rigel’s expense, to retain an independent certified public accountant selected by Rigel and reasonably acceptable to ATI, to review such records in the location(s) where such records are maintained by ATI, its Affiliates and Sublicensees upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours.  Such representatives shall disclose to Rigel only their conclusions regarding the accuracy of payments hereunder and of records related thereto.  The right to audit any records underlying any royalty report shall extend

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

5.1                                     Inventorship.  Inventorship for patentable inventions conceived or reduced to practice during the course of the performance of activities pursuant to this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with United States patent laws for determining inventorship.

5.2                                     Ownership.  Subject to the licenses and rights granted to ATI under this Agreement, Rigel shall solely own the entire right, title and interest in and to all inventions and discoveries (and Patent Rights claiming patentable inventions therein) first made, discovered, conceived or reduced to practice (in accordance with determining inventorship as described in Section 5.1) solely by employees or contractors of Rigel or acquired solely by Rigel in the course of Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Compounds or Products.  ATI shall solely own the entire right, title and interest in and to all inventions and discoveries (and Patent Rights claiming patentable inventions therein) first made, discovered, conceived or reduced to practice (in accordance with determining inventorship as described in Section 5.1) solely by employees or contractors of ATI or acquired solely by ATI in the course of Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Compounds or Products.

5.4             Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights.

(a)                                 Rigel Patent Rights Other Than Joint Patent Rights.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.4, as between the Parties, Rigel shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, Prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings, and other administrational proceedings) and Maintenance of the Rigel Patent Rights other than Joint Patent Rights, at Rigel’s cost and expense other than as set forth below.  Rigel shall provide ATI with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Prosecution efforts regarding such subject matter under the Rigel Patent Rights to which ATI has rights to under Section 3.1(a).  ATI shall have final say over all decisions relating to Prosecution efforts with respect to the licensed subject matter within the Rigel Patent Rights in Europe and the U.S. that specifically claim the composition of matter or the method of use in the Field, of any Compound or Product, [***].  Rigel shall provide ATI with a copy of material communications from any patent authority regarding such Rigel Patent Rights, and shall provide drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses.  If Rigel determines in its sole discretion to abandon, not file or not Maintain a Rigel Patent Right, then Rigel shall provide ATI written notice of such determination at least thirty (30) Business Days before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment of such Rigel Patent Rights.  ATI shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file, Prosecute and Maintain such Rigel Patent Rights on behalf of Rigel at ATI’s expense.  If ATI desires Rigel to file, in a particular jurisdiction, a Rigel Patent Right that claims priority to another Rigel Patent Right, ATI shall provide written notice to Rigel requesting that Rigel file such patent application in such jurisdiction, and Rigel shall file and Prosecute such patent application and Maintain any patent issuing thereon in such jurisdiction at ATI’s expense.

(b)                                 Joint Patent Rights.  With respect to any potentially patentable Joint Invention, the Parties shall confer and agree upon which Party, if any, shall prepare, file, Prosecute (including any interferences, reissue proceedings, and other administrational proceedings) and Maintain patent applications covering such Joint Invention (any such patent application and any patents issuing therefrom a “Joint Patent Right”), at the responsible Party’s expense.  It is the intention of the Parties that, unless otherwise agreed in writing, ATI would prepare, file, Prosecute and Maintain any Joint Patent Rights. The Party that Prosecutes a patent application in the Joint Patent Rights (the “Prosecuting Party”) shall provide the other Party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Prosecution efforts regarding the applicable Joint Patent Rights in the particular jurisdictions, and such other Party shall provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such efforts.  The Prosecuting Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of all material communications from any patent authority in the applicable jurisdictions regarding the Joint Patent Rights being Prosecuted by such Party, and shall provide drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses.  In particular, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary to enable the other Party to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority. Should ATI determine that it will no longer support the continued Prosecution or Maintenance of a particular Joint Patent Right in a country or jurisdiction, ATI shall provide Rigel with written notice of such determination at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment of such Joint Patent Right.  Rigel shall have the right, but not

5.5                               Cooperation of the Parties.  At the reasonable request of the responsible (as provided for in this Article 5) Party, the other Party agrees to cooperate fully in the preparation, filing, Prosecution, enforcement and Maintenance of any Patent Rights claiming Compounds under this Agreement.  Such cooperation includes executing all papers and instruments (or causing its personnel to do so) reasonably useful to enable the other Party to apply for and to Prosecute patent applications in any country; and promptly informing the other Party of any matters coming to such Party’s attention that may affect the preparation, filing, Prosecution, enforcement or Maintenance of any such Patent Rights.

5.6       Infringement of Patent Rights by Third Parties.

(a)                                 Notification.  Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing if the notifying Party reasonably believes that any of the Patent Rights referenced in Section 5.4 are being or have been infringed or misappropriated by a Third Party through Compound and/or Product-related activities in the Territory in the Field (such infringement, together with any that may be imminently threatened to occur by any potential generic version of a Product arising under the implementing procedures of 35 U.S.C. 271(e)(2) or ex-U.S. equivalent, “Product Infringement”, and “Product Infringer” shall be interpreted accordingly).  Similarly, each Party shall notify the other Party in writing if the notifying Party reasonably believes such activity is occurring outside the Field.

(b)                                 First Right.  ATI shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate claim, suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in Product Infringement. ATI shall reasonably consider Rigel’s comments on any such enforcement activities.  Except as provided in subsection (c), ATI shall bear all costs and expenses for enforcement under this Section 5.6(b) (including the costs of Rigel’s cooperation as required under subsection (d)).  Similarly, Rigel shall have a corresponding first right for such activity outside the Field.

(c)                                  Back-Up Right.  If ATI does not, within 180 days after the first notice between the Parties under Section 5.6(a) of the applicable Product Infringement, bring suit against the Product Infringer, then Rigel shall have the right but not the obligation to do so at its sole expense (including costs of ATI’s cooperation as required under subsection 5.6(d)).  [***].

(d)                                 Participation of the other Party with Respect to Infringement Suits.  If a Party brings an action against a Third Party for infringement under this Section 5.6, the other Party shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and such Party shall cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action including by being joined as a party plaintiff if necessary to obtain standing for such action (all at the expense on a pass-through basis of the Prosecuting Party).

(f)                                   Allocation of Proceeds.  The enforcing Party shall retain monetary damages recovered from any Third Party in a suit or action brought for Product Infringement after first reimbursing the Parties for any expenses incurred by the Parties in such litigation (including, for this purpose, a reasonable allocation of expenses of internal counsel), provided that, in the event [***], such recovery [***] shall be [***].

5.7  Post-Grant Proceeding.  If an opposition, post-grant review, inter partes review, ex parte reexamination, or supplemental examination (collectively, a “Post-Grant Proceeding”) is brought naming Rigel, ATI and/or any Affiliate or Sublicensee thereof as a defendant or party to an action and alleging invalidity or unenforceability of any claims to a Compound and/or Product in the Field within the Rigel Patent Rights, the parties shall promptly notify each other in writing and ATI may elect, upon written notice to Rigel within thirty (30) days after ATI receives notice of the commencement of such action, to take over the sole defense of the action at its own expense.  ATI shall consult with Rigel and shall reasonably consider Rigel’s comments regarding the defense of such actions. If ATI does not assume sole defense of the action within thirty (30) days after ATI receives notice of the commencement of such action, Rigel may take over the sole defense of the action at Rigel’s sole expense.  Similarly, where such claims are outside the scope of ATI’s licenses herein but within the Rigel Patent Rights, Rigel shall notify ATI, consult with ATI, and ATI shall have a back-up right to assume defense if Rigel does not.  The Party not defending such an action shall cooperate fully with the Party defending such action including by being joined as a party if necessary to obtain standing for such action (all at the expense on a pass-through basis of Party defending such action.  Neither Party shall settle any claim, suit or action that it brought under this Section in any manner that would negatively impact such Rigel Patent Rights, without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree that each such event shall be publicly announced by the Parties if requested by Rigel, and the Parties shall mutually agree upon the text of a press release to announce each such event.

Recent research indicates that suppressing the inflammation in the skin caused by the overexpression of JAK3 may have significant benefit to patients with alopecia areata and other autoimmune skin disorders.

Under the Agreement, ATI will assume responsibility for the continued development of [insert compounds], including creating a topical formulation, and designing and implementing clinical research programs.  The Agreement is limited to all routes of administration, including, but not limited to, oral, systemic and topical applications of [insert compounds] for dermatology indications.  Rigel will receive an upfront payment of $8 million, various milestones, and tiered royalties on any future sales of the drug.

“ATI has valuable experience in the field of dermatology and the internal combination of skills to take [insert compounds] through the next phase of development,” said Raul R. Rodriguez, president and CEO of Rigel.  “We are delighted to partner with them to bring hope and healing to alopecia areata patients everywhere,” he added.

[Insert compounds] in Alopecia Areata

Medical researchers have found that a number of chronic and acute dermatological diseases or disorders result from inflammation triggered by the activation of JAK3 and the subsequent proliferation of T-cells.  For the more than 6 million Americans suffering with alopecia areata, (note: source is National Alopecia Areata Foundation) the autoimmune-mediated abundance of T-cells damages their hair follicles, resulting in hair loss ranging from small patches (mainly on the scalp) to all body hair.  There is no FDA-approved medical treatment for this autoimmune disease. However, preliminary evidence exists that supports the suppression of JAK3 as a potential treatment modality.

is a potent and selective JAK1/3 inhibitor developed by Rigel. A Phase 1 clinical study of R548, taken orally by healthy volunteers, showed that the study drug was well tolerated.

3.                                      The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of JAMS except to the extent of any conflict with this Exhibit D.

4.                                      The Parties each hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such Dispute resolution mechanism.  Any situation not expressly covered by this Agreement shall be decided in accordance with the JAMS rules that are most applicable to the size and nature of the dispute (“JAMS Rules”).

5.                                      The arbitration shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware.  The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in English.

10.                               The Parties shall be entitled to discovery as provided in the JAMS Rules.  To the extent such rules of discovery are within the discretion of the neutral arbitrator, it is the intent of the Parties that they be permitted to conduct meaningful discovery in order to minimize the potential for surprise at the proceeding and encourage settlement prior to such proceeding, but that discovery not be unduly burdensome or delay the deadline stated below for issuance of the arbitrator’s award.

11.                               The power of the arbitrator to fashion procedures and remedies within the scope of this Agreement is recognized by the Parties as essential to the success of the arbitration process.  The arbitrator shall not have the authority to fashion remedies that would not be available to a judge hearing the same Dispute, and the arbitrator shall not be entitled to reform, modify or materially change this Agreement except in accordance with Section 10.6.  The arbitrator is encouraged to operate on this premise in an effort to reach a fair and just decision but shall fashion such rules and procedures to best approximate judicial rules and procedures except with respect to procedural time limits and delays (which shall be set by the arbitrator).  A written award shall be rendered by the arbitrator following a full comprehensive hearing, no longer than three (3) eight (8) hour days, no later than six (6) months following the selection of the arbitrator as provided for above.

12.                               Reasons for the arbitrator’s decisions should be complete and explicit in the arbitrator’s award.  The arbitrator shall provide a full transcript and record of the proceedings as well as written decisions including all determinations of law and fact to the Parties within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of the arbitration proceedings.  The written reasons should also include the basis for any damages awarded and a statement of how the damages were calculated.

13.                               The arbitrator shall assess the costs of the arbitration, including administrative costs and arbitrator fees, and the reasonable expert witness and attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses of the Party winning the arbitration (collectively “Costs”) against the Party losing the arbitration.  If the arbitrator found that one Party is the winner of the arbitration for some issues, and the other Party for other issues, then the arbitrator shall apportion the Costs between the Parties in a fair manner reflecting the magnitude of Costs for which each Party has emerged the winner in the arbitration.

14.                               The award shall include interest from the date of any damages incurred for breach of the Agreement, and from the date of the award until paid in full, at a rate fixed by the arbitrator.

15.                               Any monetary award shall be paid in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset; and any costs or fees incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the Party resisting enforcement.

16.                               Each Party agrees that such award may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction, if necessary, to its enforcement.
