2. Design, clone, and generate candidate lentiviral vectors:
i. Determine T cell specificity and ablation of receptors for other cell types
ii. Perform optimization of transduction of T cells in peripheral blood (resting T cells) if necessary
iii. Determine potential for immunogenicity
3. Conduct biology activities to characterize the lentiviral vectors:
i. Perform physical and functional titrations
ii. Perform selectivity assessment in the presence of cell types other than T cells
iii. Assess sensitivity to human complement and T cell transduction in human whole blood
4. Conduct in vivo activities for this program:
i. Profile in vivo vector potency (dose titration), vector biodistribution (if necessary), specificity/cell tropism, and sCART expansion through SWI019 switch
ii. Determine efficacy in humanized mouse models with implanted solid tumors. In these models, human PBMCs will be engrafted on MHC knock-out mice and transduced in vivo with systemically delivered vectors. sCAR-T cells will be expanded with SWI019 and CD19-positive cells and retargeted against a selected solid tumor t...
b) Engineering of packaging cell line to improve the vector attributes.
1. Cell line engineering will attempt to reduce potential for immunogenicity of vectors. Calibr will determine impact of the following approaches:
i. Knock out B2M and Knock in CD47 genes
ii. Clone characterization and selection
iii. Expansion of selected clones
iv. Lentiviral vector generation employing selected clones
2. Conduct biology activities to characterize the lentiviral vectors from (b):
i. Perform physical and functional titrations
ii. Assess immunogenicity of vectors in the presence of myeloid and other immune cells
iii. Assess T cell transduction in human whole blood
3. Conduct in vivo activities in humanized murine models:
i. Profile of vector potency (dose titration), vector biodistribution/selectivity/cell tropism, and sCAR-T cell expansion through SWI019 switch dosing on similar model as above
ii. Efficacy in humanized mouse models with implanted solid tumors. In this step, full reconstitution with a human immune system (including T, B, and myeloid cells) will be required to proof the advantages of the engineering strategies implemented. Therefore, humanized models with CD34+ HSC engrafted instead of PBMCs w...

Schedule 7.6.4: Example Royalty Calculations
An example of how royalties are calculated when the reduction in the royalty rate reduction in Section 7.6.4(a) of the Agreement applies is provided below for illustrative purposes only. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule 7.6.4 shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.
For purposes of this example, assume the following:
• The aggregate Net Sales of a Licensed Product in the Territory in a given Calendar Year are One Billion Four Hundred Million Dollars ($1,400,000,000).
• Of the aggregate Net Sales, Three Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($350,000,000) represent Net Sales in a country in the Territory where such Licensed Product is not claimed by a Valid Claim of any (i) Calibr Patent, (ii) any Joint Patent, or (iii) any Program Product Patent that was assigned to AbbVie by Calibr, in ea...
• Calibr has not exercised its Cost-Sharing Option with respect to such Licensed Product so that the royalty rates in Section 7.6.1 apply.
• AbbVie has not yet exercised the Platform Option.
The royalties payable for such Licensed Product for the Calendar Year are determined as shown in the table that follows on the next page:
