written notice to SYNTA of its desire to include a particular ROCHE Entity as
an Affiliate of ROCHE.  ROCHE shall have
the right to include such ROCHE Entity in whole or in part, i.e. on a legal
entity-by-legal entity basis. 
Notwithstanding such written notice, if any ROCHE Entity does not agree
to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then such ROCHE
Entity shall have none of the rights and obligations of an Affiliate of ROCHE
under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding
the preceding provisions, once an entity ceases to be an Affiliate, then such
entity shall, without any further action, cease to have any rights, including
license and sublicense rights, under this Agreement that it has by reason of
being an Affiliate but shall remain bound by the provisions of Article IX
in accordance with its terms.


 


1.2.          “Business Day” means a day that is not a Saturday,
Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.,
or in Basel, Switzerland are authorized by Law to remain closed.

Party:  (a) the acquisition by any
Third Party of beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
then-outstanding common shares or voting power of such Party, other than
acquisitions by employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by such Party;
or (b) the consummation of a business combination involving such Party,
unless, following such business combination, the stockholders of such Party
immediately prior to such business combination beneficially own directly or

biopharmaceutical companies of comparable
size and resources and at the same stage of development as SYNTA, for a product
or compound which is of similar market potential and at a similar stage of
development or commercialization, as applicable, taking into account the
existence of other competitive products in the market place or under
development, the proprietary position of the product, the regulatory structure
involved, the anticipated profitability of the product (without regard to any
amounts paid or payable with respect to Licensed Products under this Agreement)
and other relevant factors.  It is also
to be appreciated that a major global pharmaceutical company does not always
seek to market products in every country or seek regulatory approval for every
potential Indication, but that ROCHE shall undertake to commercialize Licensed
Products in the Major Markets absent a compelling reason not to do so.  It is understood that such products’
potential may change from time to time based upon changing scientific, business

the Research Program, Collaboration Compounds or Licensed Products shall be
deemed “Confidential Information” of both Parties.  All information disclosed prior to the
Effective Date by or on behalf of either Party under, and subject to, any of
the confidentiality agreements between SYNTA and ROCHE NUTLEY dated [***], and
[***] or the confidentiality agreement between SYNTA and Roche Palo Alto LLC,
an Affiliate of ROCHE, dated [***] (together, the “Confidentiality
Agreements”) shall be deemed “Confidential Information” of the disclosing
Party hereunder.


 


1.10.        “Contract Year” means each successive twelve (12)

Adjusted Gross Sales, with respect to Net
Sales in the United States, (2) [***] percent ([***]%) of Adjusted Gross
Sales, with respect to Net Sales in the Major Markets (other than the U.S.) and
Canada, and (3) [***] percent ([***]%) of Adjusted Gross Sales, with
respect to Net Sales in all territories other than those set forth in clause (1) and
(2) above, in lieu of all deductions corresponding to charges allocable to
the sale of Licensed Product and paid by ROCHE but which are not accounted for
by ROCHE, its Affiliates, ROCHE Entities and Sublicensees on a
product-by-product basis in the calculation of Adjusted Gross Sales (e.g.,
outward freights, postage charges, transportation insurance, packaging
materials for dispatch of goods, custom duties, bad debt expense).


 


For purposes of this
definition of “Net Sales”, “Adjusted Gross Sales” shall mean the amount
of gross sales of Licensed Product invoiced by ROCHE, its Affiliates, ROCHE
Entities and its Sublicensees to Third Parties less deductions (which deductions
shall in all cases be as consistently applied by ROCHE to its products) for:


 


(a)                   Governmental
price reductions and changes to reserves for governmental price reductions,
such as rebates to managed care organizations or social and welfare systems,
charge backs or reserves for chargebacks, cash sales incentives (but only to
the extent it is a sales related deduction which is accounted for within ROCHE
on a product-by-product basis), government mandated rebates and similar types
of rebates (e.g., Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme, Medicaid, clawback
schemes and any other similar such scheme);


 


(b)                   Contract
pricing chargebacks and changes to reserves of contract pricing chargebacks,
such as periodic charges of wholesalers and chargebacks for price capping
programs;


 


(c)                   Customer
rebates and changes to reserves of customer rebates, such as volume (quantity)
discounts or price discounts;


 


(d)                   Returns and
return reserves, including allowances actually given for spoiled, damaged,
out-dated, rejected, returned Licensed Product sold, withdrawals and recalls;


 


(e)                   Cash
discounts; and


 


(f)                    Taxes, such
as value added or sales taxes, government mandated exceptional taxes and other
taxes directly linked to the gross sales amount (but excluding income or
capital gains taxes).


 


For the avoidance of doubt,
the “Adjusted Gross Sales” shall be determined on a Licensed
Product-by-Licensed Product basis using the same methodology as ROCHE
consistently uses to recognize sales in its financial reporting, which is in
accordance with the then-used International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), and is reviewed and approved by ROCHE’s external auditors, it being
understood that if the amount of any of the reserves accounted for as a
deduction in the definition of “Adjusted Gross Sales” above exceeds the actual
amount for which the reserve was established, the amount of such excess shall
be treated as Net Sales.

Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, amounts received by ROCHE, its Affiliates, ROCHE Entities and
Sublicensees for the sale of Licensed Product among ROCHE, its Affiliates,
ROCHE Entities or Sublicensees for resale shall not be included in the
computation of Adjusted Gross Sales or Net Sales.


 


If a Licensed Product is
sold as part of a Combination Product (as defined below), the Net Sales of the
Licensed Product, for the purposes of determining royalties based on Net Sales,
shall be determined country-by-country by multiplying the Net Sales of the
Combination Product (as determined using the standard Net Sales definition),
during the applicable reporting period, by the fraction, A/(A+B), where A is
the average sale price of the Licensed Product when sold separately in similar
quantities in finished form and B is the average sales price of the other
compounds having independent therapeutic activity included in the Combination
Product when sold separately in similar quantities in finished form, in each
case in the same country as the Combination Product during the applicable
reporting period or, if sales of both the Licensed Product and the other
compounds having independent therapeutic activity did not occur in such period,
then in the most recent reporting period in which sales of both occurred in the
same country as the Combination Product. 
If such average sale price cannot be determined for both the Licensed
Product and all other compounds having independent therapeutic activity
included in the Combination Product, Net Sales of the Licensed Product for the
purposes of determining royalty payments shall be calculated by multiplying the
Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction of C/(C+D) where C is the
fair market value of the Licensed Product and D is the fair market value of all
other compounds having independent therapeutic activity included in the
Combination Product.  In such event,
ROCHE shall in good faith make a determination of the respective fair market
values of the Licensed Product and all other compounds having independent
therapeutic activity included in the Combination Product, and shall notify
SYNTA of such determination and provide SYNTA with data to support such
determination.  SYNTA shall have the
right to review such determination and supporting data, and to notify ROCHE if
it disagrees with such determination.  If
SYNTA does not agree with such determination and if the Parties are unable to
agree in good faith as to such respective fair market values, then such matter
shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13.2.


 


As used in this Agreement, “Combination
Product” means any Licensed Product containing one or more additional
active pharmaceutical compounds having independent therapeutic activity other
than a Licensed Compound.


 


1.51.     “Party” or “Parties” means SYNTA or ROCHE, as the
context requires.


 


1.52.     “Patent Rights” means all rights under any patent or
patent application, in any country or jurisdiction in the Territory, including
any patents issuing on such patent application and any substitution, extension
or supplementary protection, certificate, reissue, reexamination, renewal,
division, continuation or continuation-in-part of any of the foregoing.


 


1.53.     “Person” means any natural person, corporation, general
partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, proprietorship or other
business organization or a governmental agency or a political subdivision
thereto.

ARTICLE II -COLLABORATION


 


2.1.          Overview.  The
primary objective of the collaboration between the Parties will be to identify
and select Collaboration Compounds under the Research Program that are suitable
for further Research and, subject to Section 2.4, to advance the
Development of such Collaboration Compounds as Licensed Compounds and the
Commercialization of related Licensed Products in the Field, as further
described below.


 


2.2.          Commercially Reasonable Efforts.  Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to conduct the activities which are assigned to such Party under the
Research Plan or any Development Plan; provided, however, that
neither Party guarantees the success of the Research Program or any individual
Research, Development or Manufacturing activity undertaken under the Research
Plan or Development Plan.  Without
limiting ROCHE’s obligations pursuant to this Section 2.2, ROCHE shall use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (a) Develop, at any given time, at
least one Licensed Compound, and (b) seek Regulatory Approval for at least
one Licensed Compound and then Commercialize each such approved Licensed
Product for each approved Indication in the Field in the Territory.


 


2.3.          Research Program.


 


2.3.1.       Research Term.  The initial term of the Research Program
shall commence on January 1, 2009 and end on the second (2nd) anniversary thereof,
unless (a) earlier terminated hereunder, or (b) extended by mutual
agreement of the Parties for additional one (1) year term(s), in which
case the Parties shall agree upon appropriate FTE commitment levels, budget
adjustments and other necessary amendments to the Research Plan (such initial
two (2) year term, together with any extension, the “Research Term”).  The SYNTA FTE Rate for any such extension
shall be determined as set forth in Section 1.29.


 


2.3.2.       Collaboration Compounds.  The Research Program shall be conducted on
Collaboration Compounds; provided, however, that if, in the
course of the Research Program, it

is determined that any such
compound is not a CRAC Channel Inhibitor, such compound shall no longer be
considered a Collaboration Compound, and provided, further, that
any Collaboration Compound that is not a Licensed Compound as of the end of the
Research Term shall revert to the Controlling Party (including all rights thereto
and to any Confidential Information with respect to such Collaboration Compound
which had been disclosed by such Controlling Party) and shall no longer be
deemed a Collaboration Compound for purposes of this Agreement.  It is the intent of the Parties that the
initial Collaboration Compounds with respect to which Research will be
conducted under the Research Program will be the Collaboration Compounds
Controlled and identified by SYNTA hereunder. 
Compounds Controlled by ROCHE will be included as a Collaboration
Compound with respect to which Research will be conducted under the Research
Program and for other purposes of this Agreement only if mutually agreed by the
Parties.  The goal of the Research
Program is for one or more Licensed Compounds to be approved for advancement
into Development under Section 2.3.4.


 


2.3.3.       Research Plan.  The initial plan for the first two (2) Contract
Years of the Research Program is attached hereto as Exhibit B (as
may be amended from time to time upon mutual agreement of the Parties, the “Research
Plan”).  The Parties agree and
acknowledge that this Research Plan reflects, as of the Execution Date, SYNTA’s
good faith estimates of Research activities and the timing, internal costs, and
external costs associated with such activities, all of which could be subject
to change.  During the Research Term,
SYNTA and ROCHE shall prepare an updated Research Plan for the third and each
subsequent Contract Year, if applicable, at least [***] ([***]) days prior to
the start of each such Contract Year. 
The Research Plan shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and shall be subject to review and approval by the JRDC and the
JSC.  The Research Plan shall specify,
among other things, (a) key objectives, (b) Research and related
Manufacturing activities to be performed up to nomination of a Licensed
Compound for Development, (c) the number and types of FTEs to be assigned
to specific activities and the Party supplying such FTEs, (d) costs and
expenses for services to be provided by Third Parties, (e) to the extent
known in advance, the academic collaborations and subcontractor arrangements
anticipated for the applicable Contract Year, and (f) the budget for the
applicable Contract Year.  With respect
to the first (2) Contract Years, all FTEs specified in the Research Plan
shall be supplied by SYNTA.  For the sake
of clarity, neither the initial Research Plan attached hereto, nor any
subsequent Research Plan once agreed by the Parties, may be amended except by
mutual agreement of the Parties.


 


2.3.4.       Licensed Compound
Nomination.


 


(a)                   Either
Party may nominate to the JDRC, for approval by the JSC, a Licensed Compound
for advancement into Development leading up to a GLP Toxicology Study.  Upon request by a Party, the other Party
shall provide relevant available information and study results to support such
nomination.  If no Licensed Compound is
approved for advancement into Development during the Research Term or within
[***] ([***])[***] after expiration of the Research Term, SYNTA shall have the
option, not the obligation, to perform the Development activities described in Section 2.4.1.


 


Portions
of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary
of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


 


14

















 


(b)                   ROCHE
shall have no right to Develop or Commercialize any Licensed Compound (other
than any activities that may be assigned to ROCHE under the Research Plan)
unless and until such Licensed Compound has been nominated by the JRDC, and
approved by the JSC, for advancement into Development hereunder.


 


2.4.          Development. 
The Parties shall pursue the Development of at least one Licensed
Compound in accordance with a Development Plan and the remainder of this Article II,
including seeking to pursue the Initiation of a GLP Toxicology Study.  For clarity, for each Licensed Compound
approved by the JSC for advancement into Development under Section 2.3.4(a),
a set of Development activities will be conducted prior to the Initiation of a
GLP Toxicology Study, as exemplified in Exhibit C.  As of the Execution Date, the Parties agree
that [***] is anticipated to be the First Licensed Compound.


 


2.4.1.       First Licensed Compound.  For the relevant First Licensed Compound,
SYNTA (itself or through an Affiliate or a Third Party) shall, in accordance
with the Development Plans: conduct pre-IND Development, Phase 1 Clinical
Trials, and other nonclinical Development activities that are typically
performed during each of the foregoing Development stages, and shall have the
right, at SYNTA’s option, to conduct a Phase 2a Clinical Trial for an
Indication other than rheumatoid arthritis, provided, that such
Indication is part of the Development Plan.


 


2.4.2.       Other Licensed Compounds.  Except as mutually agreed by the Parties or
as set forth in Section 2.4.1, and subject to oversight by the JRDC and
the JSC, ROCHE shall be solely responsible for the Development of Licensed
Compounds and Licensed Products in the Field and in the Territory in accordance
with the Development Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided,
however, that for Licensed Compounds other than the First Licensed
Compound, the JRDC shall decide which Party shall conduct Development for such
Licensed Compound; provided, further, that the JRDC and JSC
cannot require SYNTA to undertake such responsibility unless SYNTA agrees to do
so.  Prior to the initiation of each
stage of activity to be so conducted by SYNTA with respect to any Licensed
Compound, the Parties shall discuss and undertake to finalize the anticipated
scope, design, content, criteria, protocols, budget and other terms associated
with the conduct of Development for such Licensed Compound and shall update the
Development Plan to reflect such agreement.


 


2.4.3.       Development Plans.  For the First Licensed Compound, the initial
Development Plans through and including one Phase 2a Clinical Trial with
respect thereto are attached hereto as Exhibit C and Exhibit D
(as may be amended from time to time upon mutual agreement of the Parties, the “Development
Plans,” including the “Development Plan — Pre-IND” and “Development
Plan — Phase 1 and Phase 2a,” respectively).  The Parties agree and acknowledge that these
initial Development Plans reflect, as of the Execution Date, SYNTA’s good faith
estimates of Development activities and the timing, internal costs, and
external costs associated with such activities, all of which may be subject to
change.  With respect to the further
Development of the relevant First Licensed Compound or following the approval
for advancement into Development of any subsequent Licensed Compound, SYNTA and
ROCHE, under the guidance of the JRDC, shall prepare initial or updated
Development Plans directed to

Development activities in the Territory for
such Licensed Compound for the next twelve (12) month period.  An updated Development Plan for each
subsequent twelve (12) month period will be prepared by SYNTA and ROCHE at
least [***] ([***]) days prior to the beginning of each such subsequent twelve
(12) month period.  The Development Plan
shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and shall
be subject to review and approval by the JRDC and the JSC.  The Development Plan shall specify, among
other things, (a) key objectives, (b) Development and related
Manufacturing activities to be performed with respect to a Licensed Compound,
including Initiation of Clinical Trials, (c) the Party responsible for
performance of an activity, (d) the number and types of FTEs to be
assigned to specific activities by SYNTA, (e) anticipated costs to be
incurred under the Development Plans (the “Budget”) for the applicable
twelve (12) month period, and (f) Development timelines.  For the sake of clarity, neither the initial
Development Plans attached hereto, nor any subsequent Development Plan once
agreed by the Parties, may be amended except by mutual agreement of the
Parties.


 


2.5.          Development Costs.


 


2.5.1.       General.  ROCHE shall pay its own Development expenses
in carrying out each Development Plan, and shall pay SYNTA for all Development
Costs incurred pursuant to each Development Plan and the applicable Budget as
set forth below.


 


2.5.2.       Audit Rights.  ROCHE shall have the right to audit SYNTA to
verify all of SYNTA’s Development Costs incurred pursuant to a Development Plan
and the Budget.


 


(a)                   SYNTA
shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates to keep, for [***] ([***]) years,
full, true and accurate books of account containing all particulars that may be
necessary for the purpose of calculating all Development Costs under this
Agreement. Such books of accounts shall be kept at SYNTA’s or the relevant
Affiliate’s principal place of business. At the expense of ROCHE, ROCHE has the
right to engage an independent, certified public accountant mutually acceptable
to both Parties to perform, on behalf of ROCHE, an audit of such books and
records of SYNTA and its Affiliates, that are deemed necessary by such
accountant to report on Development Costs for the period or periods requested
by ROCHE and the correctness of any report or payments made under this
Agreement.  Such accountant shall not
have the authority to interpret this Agreement.


 


(b)                   Upon
timely request and at least [***] ([***]) days prior written notice from ROCHE,
such audit shall be conducted, during regular business hours in such a manner
as to not unnecessarily interfere with SYNTA’s or its Affiliates’ normal
business activities, and shall be limited to results in the [***] ([***])
calendar years prior to audit notification.


 


(c)                   Such
audit shall not be performed more frequently than once per calendar year nor
more frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period
of time.


 


Portions
of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary
of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


 


16

















 


(d)                   All
information, data and documents herein referred to shall be used only for the
purpose of verifying Development Costs, shall be treated as SYNTA Confidential
Information subject to the obligations of this Agreement and need neither be
retained more than the longer of one (1) year after completion of an audit
hereof, if an audit has been requested; nor more than [***] ([***]) years from
the end of the calendar year to which each shall pertain; nor more than [***]
([***]) [***] after the date of termination of this Agreement.


 


(e)                   The
final audit report shall be shared by ROCHE and SYNTA.


 


(f)                    If
the audit reveals an underpayment, ROCHE shall reimburse SYNTA for the amount
of the underpayment within [***] ([***]) days with interest as set forth in Section 7.7.2.  If the audit reveals an overpayment, ROCHE
shall have the right to credit the amount of such overpayment against the next
payment payable to SYNTA hereunder. 
SYNTA shall pay for the audit costs if the audit reveals that an
overpayment of ROCHE exceeds [***] percent ([***]%).


 


(g)                   The
failure of ROCHE to request verification of any Actual Costs within the period during
which the corresponding records must be maintained under Section 2.5.2(d) will
be deemed acceptance of the Actual Cost payments and reports with respect
thereto.


 


2.5.3.       Budget.  It is agreed between the Parties that for the
calendar year 2009, the Budget for payment to SYNTA of its Development Costs
under the Development Plan as of the Execution Date is [***] dollars
($[***]).  On or before October 1,
2009 and not later than October 1 of each subsequent calendar year during
the Term, the JSC shall approve annual Budgets for Development Costs scheduled
for the following year; such annual Budgets to be consistent with the
Development Plan(s).  Upon approval, the
annual Budget shall be the Budget then in effect.


 


2.5.4.       Payments to SYNTA; Reconciliation.  ROCHE shall pay to SYNTA the amount set forth
as SYNTA’s Development Costs under the Budget for each Calendar Quarter on or
before the later of (a) the first day of such Calendar Quarter or (b) [***]
([***]) days after receipt of an invoice from SYNTA with respect to such
Development Costs.  Within [***] ([***])
days following the end of each such Calendar Quarter, SYNTA shall provide an
accounting to ROCHE of the actually incurred Development Costs during such Calendar
Quarter (the “Actual Costs”).  Following
the reporting by SYNTA of Actual Costs for each Calendar Quarter, the Parties
shall reconcile any difference between the amounts paid by ROCHE to SYNTA for
Development Costs and SYNTA’s Actual Costs for such Calendar Quarter.  If the amounts paid by ROCHE to SYNTA for
Development Costs exceed SYNTA’s Actual Costs during such Calendar Quarter,
then the amount of such excess shall be credited to ROCHE against the next
payment payable to SYNTA hereunder.  If
SYNTA’s Actual Costs during the Calendar Quarter exceeds by less than [***]
percent ([***]%) the amount paid by ROCHE for Development Costs during such
Calendar Quarter (the amount of such excess, the “Covered Excess Amount”),
then ROCHE shall pay the Covered Excess Amount to SYNTA as a supplemental payment.  If SYNTA’s Actual Costs during the Calendar
Quarter exceeds by [***]

of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


 


17

















 


percent ([***]%) or more the
amount paid by ROCHE for Development Costs during such Calendar Quarter, then (y) ROCHE
shall pay the Covered Excess Amount to SYNTA as a supplemental payment and (z) with
respect to the amount of such excess over and above the Covered Excess Amount
(the “Uncovered Excess Amount”), ROCHE shall pay the Uncovered Excess
Amount but only if the JSC approves such Uncovered Excess Amount.  ROCHE shall pay SYNTA any Covered Excess
Amount and, to the extent payable by ROCHE hereunder, any Uncovered Excess
Amount within [***] ([***]) days after receipt of an invoice from SYNTA
therefor, subject to the cap of $[***] for calendar year 2009.  For purposes of clarity, ROCHE’s obligation
under this Section 2.5.4 to pay SYNTA for Development Costs shall be
separate from, and in addition to, ROCHE’s obligation under Section 7.2 to
pay SYNTA for internal and external Research costs incurred by SYNTA under the
Research Plan.


 


2.6.          Manufacturing. 
Each Party shall be responsible for the Manufacture and supply of all
preclinical and clinical quantities of Collaboration Compounds Controlled by
such Party in accordance with the Research Plan and Development Plan until such
time as the Parties decide to transfer Manufacturing responsibility to ROCHE
pursuant to Section 2.7.


 


2.7.          Transfer of Responsibility to ROCHE.


 


2.7.1.       Development; Regulatory.  Subject to Section 2.4,  SYNTA shall transfer to ROCHE all Development
responsibility with respect to a Licensed Compound, on a Licensed
Compound-by-Licensed Compound basis, once the relevant Collaboration Compound
is designated a Licensed Compound or, if SYNTA is undertaking any Development
activities with respect to such Licensed Compound in accordance with Section 2.4,
once SYNTA’s activities with respect to a GLP Toxicology Study or Phase 1
Clinical Trials for such Licensed Compound are complete, in accordance with a
transition plan to be established by the Parties, including the transfer to
ROCHE of any IND or other regulatory filings with respect to such Licensed
Compound that are held by SYNTA in SYNTA’s name.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the First
Licensed Compound, such transition shall occur promptly following completion of
the first Phase 2a Clinical Trial, if such Clinical Trial is conducted by
SYNTA, or promptly following completion of Phase 1 Clinical Trials, if SYNTA
does not conduct the first Phase 2a Clinical Trial.  Each Party shall continue to use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to perform critical Development activities which may be
assigned to such Party under the relevant Development Plan, in a manner
consistent with the transition plan, until the completion of such transfer of
Development responsibility to ROCHE.


 


2.7.2.       Manufacturing.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties,
concurrently with the transfer of all Development responsibility to ROCHE with
respect to a Licensed Compound pursuant to Section 2.7.1 above, (a) SYNTA
shall transfer to ROCHE, and ROCHE shall assume sole responsibility for, the
Manufacture of non-clinical, clinical and commercial quantities of such
Licensed Compound necessary for the Development and Commercialization of
Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory, at ROCHE’s sole cost and
expense, and (b) SYNTA shall provide to ROCHE reasonable technical
assistance, manufacturing and analytical Know-how, and material specifications
Controlled by SYNTA that are necessary for ROCHE, its Affiliate or a Third
Party manufacturer identified by ROCHE to Manufacture such Licensed Compound.

with respect to any Licensed Product for any Indication shall not prevent or
waive SYNTA’s right to exercise its Co-promotion Option with respect to such
Licensed Product for any other Indication or with respect to any other Licensed
Product.

6.4.          Sublicensing Rights.


 


6.4.1.       ROCHE shall have the right to grant
sublicenses under the rights granted to it under Section 6.2 to its
Affiliates (with the right to sublicense) and to Third Parties (with no further
right to sublicense); provided, that in the Major Markets ROCHE shall
have the right to grant sublicenses under the rights granted to it under Section 6.2
to Third Parties only upon prior written consent of SYNTA, such consent not the
unreasonably withheld.  ROCHE shall
provide to SYNTA a fully-executed copy of any agreement (redacted as necessary
to protect confidential or commercially sensitive information) reflecting such
sublicense (a) promptly after the execution thereof if such sublicense
impacts upon one or more of the Major Markets, and (b) upon request by
SYNTA if such sublicense impacts upon any country other than a Major
Market.  If ROCHE grants a sublicense,
all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to the
sublicensee to the same extent as they apply to ROCHE for all purposes of this
Agreement.  ROCHE assumes full
responsibility for the performance of all obligations so imposed on such
sublicensee and will itself pay and account to SYNTA for all payments due under
this Agreement by reason of operation of any such sublicense.


 


6.4.2.       SYNTA may not grant sublicenses under the
rights granted to it in Section 6.3 without the prior written consent of
ROCHE, except (a) to SYNTA’s Affiliates, and (b) to Third Parties
solely to the extent necessary to carry out SYNTA’s Research, Development or
Manufacturing obligations.  SYNTA shall
guarantee the performance of its Affiliates and Sublicensees with respect to
any sublicense granted pursuant to this Section 6.4.2.


 


6.5.          Rights Retained by the Parties.  Any rights of SYNTA or ROCHE, as the case may
be, not expressly granted to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement shall
be retained by such Party.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, no right or license is granted to
ROCHE under the SYNTA Intellectual Property to Develop or Commercialize any
composition that is not a Licensed Compound or Licensed Product.


 


6.6.          Exclusivity. 
Each Party agrees that, during the Research Term this Agreement shall
serve as the exclusive means through which such Party and its Affiliates may, (i) either
alone or in collaboration with a Third Party, engage in the Research,
Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of any compound which such Party
or its Affiliates knows or believes to be a CRAC Channel Inhibitor, or any
product containing such a compound in the Field in the Territory, or (ii) grant
a license to, or otherwise assist or contract with, any Third Party, to
Research, Develop, Manufacture, or Commercialize any compound which such Party
or its Affiliates knows or believes to be a CRAC Channel Inhibitor, or any
product containing such a compound in the Field in the Territory.


 


6.7.          Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.  All rights and licenses granted pursuant to
any section of this Agreement, including pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3,
are rights and licenses to “intellectual property” (as defined in Section 101(35A)
of title 11 of the United States  Code
(the “Bankruptcy Code”)).  Each
Party shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under
the Bankruptcy Code.

set forth above with respect
to each of the second and third occurrences of such event by another Licensed
Product.


 


For the sake of clarity (A) the same
Indication need not achieve each development event in a column (Example 1
below); (B) the same Licensed Product need not achieve each development
event in a row (Example 2 below); and (C) no payment shall be made with
respect to the occurrence of an event for which a payment had been made with
respect to the prior occurrence of the same event with the same Licensed
Product for the same Indication (Example 3 below).  By way of example,


 


·                  Example 1: 
If the first Initiation of a Phase 2a Clinical Trial is for Licensed
Product A in Indication rheumatoid arthritis, $[***] will be due (row (c),
first column times 100%).  If the second
Initiation of a Phase 2a Clinical Trial is for Licensed Product A in Indication
asthma, $[***] will be due (row (c), second column times 100%).  If the third Initiation of a Phase 2a
Clinical Trial is for Licensed Product B in Indication asthma, $[***] will be
due (row (c), first column times 50%).


 


·                  Example 2: 
If the first Initiation of a Phase 2a Clinical Trial is for Licensed
Product A in Indication rheumatoid arthritis, $[***] will be due (row (c),
first column times 100%).  If the second
Initiation of a Phase 2a Clinical Trial is for Licensed Product B in Indication
rheumatoid arthritis, $[***] will be due (row (c), first column times
50%).  If the third Initiation of a Phase
2a Clinical Trial is for Licensed Product B in Indication asthma, $[***] will
be due (row (c), second column times 100%).


 


·                  Example 3: 
If the first Initiation of a Phase 2a Clinical Trial is for Licensed
Product A in Indication rheumatoid arthritis, $[***] will be due (row (c),
first column times 100%).  If the second
(or subsequent) Initiation of a Phase 2a Clinical Trial is for Licensed Product
A in Indication rheumatoid arthritis, no milestone payment shall be due with
respect to such Initiation.


 


On a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product
basis, the achievement of a development event in any of rows (f) through (k) shall
result in a simultaneous obligation to pay all payments in rows (a) through
(e) that had not been previously paid and which are in the same column as
the payment then to be made.  On a
Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, and a country-by-country or regional
basis, the achievement of a development event in any of rows (i) through (k) shall
result in a simultaneous obligation to pay the relevant earlier milestone in
rows (f) through (h), as applicable, that had not previously been paid and
which are in the same column as the payment then to be made.


 


Upon achievement by or on behalf of ROCHE,
its Affiliates or Sublicensees of any of the foregoing development events,
ROCHE shall promptly (but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days
following achievement thereof) notify SYNTA and shall pay to SYNTA all

event payments within [***] ([***]) days after occurrence of the applicable
event and receipt of an invoice from SYNTA.


 


If SYNTA is the Party that achieves any of
the development events set forth above, SYNTA shall provide notice to ROCHE
promptly upon achievement of each such development event and shall deliver to
ROCHE an invoice for such event.  ROCHE
shall pay the applicable development event payment within [***] ([***]) days of
receipt of invoice therefor.


 


7.5.                              Sales Event
Payments.  In addition
to all other amounts payable under this Agreement, ROCHE shall make the
following non-refundable, non-creditable payments to SYNTA based on aggregate
worldwide annual (on a calendar year basis) Net Sales, on a Licensed

of Royalty Rates to Net Sales in the Territory.  Royalties payable pursuant to this Section 7.6
shall be paid at the rate applicable to the portion of Net Sales within each of
the Net Sales levels during the applicable calendar year for such Licensed
Product.  For example, if, during a
calendar year, aggregate worldwide annual Net Sales of a particular Licensed
Product were equal to $[***], then the royalties payable by ROCHE would be
calculated by adding (i) the royalties with respect to the first $[***] at
the first-level percentage of [***] percent ([***]%) ($[***]), and (ii) the
royalties with respect to the next $[***] at the second-level percentage of
[***] percent ([***]%) ($[***]), for a total royalty of $[***].

obligations to SYNTA pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall commence on a
country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis on the First
Commercial Sale in such country of such Licensed Product and shall expire on a
country-by-country basis and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis on the
later of: (A) the expiration of the last Valid Claim of the SYNTA Patent
Rights, ROCHE Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights Covering such Licensed
Product in such country, or (B) the [***] ([***]) anniversary of the date
of the First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country by or on
behalf of ROCHE or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees to a Third Party who
is not a Sublicensee (the “Royalty Term”).  Thereafter, the licenses granted to ROCHE
shall be fully paid-up, royalty-free and non-exclusive with respect to such
Licensed Product in such country, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and
country-by-country basis.


 


(b)                                                         Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the royalty rate applicable to such Licensed Product sold in any
country in the Territory shall be reduced to [***] percent ([***]%) of the rate
otherwise payable pursuant to Section 7.6.1 above during any portion of
the Royalty Term when there is no Valid Claim of the SYNTA Patent Rights, ROCHE
Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights Covering such Licensed Product in such
country; provided  that such reduction shall not apply if the
Licensed Product is entitled to Marketing Exclusivity  in such country and there is no Generic
Product on the market in such country.


 


7.6.4.                     Royalty
Adjustment in Case of Generic Competition.  If, during a given Calendar Quarter there is
Generic Competition with respect to a particular Licensed Product in a country
of the Territory, then the royalties on Net Sales of the affected Licensed
Product payable

pursuant to this Section 7.6 in such
country for such Calendar Quarter shall be reduced by [***] percent ([***]%) of
the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to Section 7.6.1.  For clarity, the determination of whether
there is Generic Competition with respect to a particular Licensed Product in a
country and, if so, the market share of such Generic Product(s) in such
country, shall be made on a Calendar Quarter-by-Calendar Quarter basis.  For example, if with respect to a particular
Licensed Product in a country there is Generic Competition with respect to such
Licensed Product in a Calendar Quarter then the applicable royalty reductions
set forth in this Section 7.6.4 shall apply for such Calendar Quarter, and
if, with respect to the same Licensed Product in the same country there is no
Generic Competition during any subsequent Calendar Quarter, then the royalty
reductions set forth in this Section 7.6.4 shall not be applicable in any
such subsequent Calendar Quarter. 
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if both deductions under Section 7.6.3
and this Section 7.6.4 apply for a Licensed Product in a given country,
then ROCHE may apply only one of the two deductions for such Licensed Product
in such country.


 


7.6.5.                     Third Party
Payments.  ROCHE shall
be responsible for obtaining, and paying or having paid any consideration owed
to any Third Party to license or otherwise secure and maintain, Third Party
Patent Rights necessary to manufacture or sell Licensed Products in the Field
in the Territory.  ROCHE shall have the
right to deduct a maximum of [***] percent ([***]%) of such royalties actually
paid to such Third Party with respect to such license to permit the manufacture
or sale of Licensed Product(s) in the Field in a country(ies), from
royalty payments otherwise due and payable by ROCHE to SYNTA under this
Agreement with respect to such Licensed Product(s) in such country(ies),
on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis; provided,
however, that (i) in no event shall the deduction permitted
by this Section 7.6.5 reduce the royalties payable to SYNTA with respect
to any such Licensed Product(s) in such country(ies) to less than [***]
percent ([***]%) of the royalties otherwise due after any deduction pursuant to
Section 7.6.3 or 7.6.4.


 


7.6.6.                     Limitation on
Aggregate Deduction.  In no event
shall the deductions permitted by Sections 7.6.3, 7.6.4 and this 7.6.5, in the
aggregate, reduce the royalties payable to SYNTA with respect to any such
Licensed Product(s) in such country(ies) to less than [***] percent ([***]%)
of the royalties otherwise due for such Licensed Product(s) in such
country(ies) pursuant to Section 7.6.1, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed
Product and country-by-country basis.


 


7.7.                              Accounting and
Reporting.


 


7.7.1.                     Timing of
Payments.  ROCHE shall
calculate royalties on Net Sales quarterly as of March 31, June 30, September 30
and December 31 (each being the last day of an “Accounting Period”)
and shall pay royalties on Net Sales within [***] ([***]) days after the end of
each Accounting Period in which such Net Sales occur.


 


7.7.2.                     Late Payment.  Any payment under this Agreement that is not
paid on or before the date such payment is due shall bear interest, to the
extent permitted by applicable Law, at [***] above the average one-month London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), as reported by Reuters for time to time,
calculated on the number of days such payment is overdue.  In addition,

ROCHE shall reimburse SYNTA for all costs and
expenses, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred in the
collection of late payments, provided  that the foregoing shall
not apply with respect to payments disputed in good faith by ROCHE unless SYNTA
is successful in such dispute or ROCHE ceases to dispute such payments.


 


7.7.3.                     Method of
Payment.  Royalties on Net Sales and all
other amounts payable by ROCHE hereunder shall be paid by or on behalf of ROCHE
in U.S. Dollars.  All payments due to
SYNTA hereunder shall be made directly from an account located in either (at
ROCHE’s option) the United States or Switzerland to account(s) designated
by SYNTA.


 


7.7.4.                     Currency
Conversion.  Whenever
calculating royalties requires conversion from any currency, ROCHE shall make
such conversion as follows:


 


(a)                                                          When
calculating the Net Sales for countries other than the United States, ROCHE
shall convert the amount of such sales in currencies other than Swiss Francs
into Swiss Francs using ROCHE’s then current standard practices actually used
on a consistent basis in preparing its audited financial statements.


 


(b)                                                         Upon converting
the amount of Adjusted Gross Sales into Swiss Francs, ROCHE shall convert into
US Dollars (or other currency), using the quarterly average rate (currently Reuters) at the last
working day for the applicable period.


 


7.7.5.                     Reporting.  With each payment ROCHE shall provide SYNTA
in writing for the relevant Calendar Quarter on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed
Product basis the following information with respect to each of the following
territories:  (1) the United States,
(2) the Major Markets (other than the United States) and Canada, and (3) all
territories other than those set forth in the foregoing clause (1) and
(2):


 


(a)                                                          Net Sales and
Adjusted Gross Sales;


 


(b)                                                         Adjustments
made pursuant to Section 7.6; and


 


(c)                                                          Total royalty
payable to SYNTA.


 


The report for the fourth Calendar Quarter shall
include a list of all countries in which a Licensed Product is sold in the
Territory for the applicable calendar year.


 


7.7.6.                     United States
Dollars.  All dollar ($) amounts
specified in this Agreement are United States dollar amounts.


 


7.7.7.                     Nonrefundable.  All payments made by ROCHE to SYNTA under
this Agreement shall be non-refundable and non-creditable, except as expressly
set forth in Sections 2.5.2(f), 2.5.4 and 7.9.2.


 


7.8.                              Taxes.  Any tax required to be withheld by ROCHE
under the Laws of any country for the account of SYNTA shall be promptly paid
by ROCHE for and on behalf of

Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SYNTA to the appropriate government authority,
and ROCHE shall furnish SYNTA with proof of payment of such tax.  Any such tax actually paid on SYNTA’s behalf
shall be deducted from royalty payments due to SYNTA hereunder.  ROCHE shall assist SYNTA in minimizing the
withholding taxes applicable to any payment made by ROCHE and in claiming tax
refunds at SYNTA’s request.


 


7.9.                              Auditing.


 


7.9.1.                     Audit Rights.


 


(a)                                                          ROCHE shall
keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, for [***]
([***]) years, full, true and accurate books of account containing all
particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of calculating all royalties
and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.  Such books of accounts shall be kept at ROCHE’s
or the relevant Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s principal place of business. At
the expense of SYNTA, SYNTA has the right to engage an independent, certified
public accountant reasonably acceptable to both Parties to perform, on behalf
of SYNTA, an audit of such books and records of ROCHE and its Affiliates and Sublicensees,
that are deemed necessary by such accountant to report on Net Sales of Licensed
Products for the period or periods requested by SYNTA and the correctness of
any report or payments made under this Agreement.  Such accountant shall not have the authority
to interpret this Agreement.


 


(b)                                                         Upon timely
request and at least [***] ([***]) days prior written notice from SYNTA, such
audit shall be conducted in the countries specifically requested by SYNTA,
during regular business hours in such a manner as to not unnecessarily
interfere with ROCHE’s normal business activities, and shall be limited to
results in the [***] ([***]) calendar years prior to audit notification.


 


(c)                                                          Such audit
shall not be performed more frequently than once per calendar year nor more
frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific period of
time.


 


(d)                                                         All
information, data and documents herein referred to shall be used only for the
purpose of verifying royalty statements, shall be treated as ROCHE Confidential
Information subject to the obligations of this Agreement and need neither be
retained more than the longer of one (1) year after completion of an audit
hereof, if an audit has been requested; nor more than [***] ([***]) years from
the end of the calendar year to which each shall pertain; nor more than [***]
([***])[***] after the date of termination of this Agreement.


 


(e)                                                          The final audit
report shall be shared by ROCHE and SYNTA.


 


7.9.2.                     Over- or
Underpayment.  If the
audit reveals an underpayment, ROCHE shall reimburse SYNTA for the amount of
the underpayment within [***] ([***]) days with interest as set forth in Section 7.7.2.  If the audit reveals an overpayment, ROCHE
shall have the right to credit the amount of such overpayment against the next
royalty payment payable to

Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential

SYNTA hereunder.  ROCHE shall pay for the audit costs if the
audit reveals that an underpayment of ROCHE exceeds [***] percent ([***]%).


 


7.9.3.                     Duration of
Audit Rights.  The failure
of SYNTA to request verification of any royalty calculation within the period
during which the corresponding records must be maintained under Section 7.9.1
will be deemed acceptance of the royalty payments and reports.

or (b) unauthorized use or misappropriation of any of the SYNTA Know-how,
ROCHE Know-how, or Joint Know-how (each of (a) and (b), an “Infringement
Claim”) of which such Party becomes aware, and shall provide the other

8.3.2.       Right to Enforce the SYNTA
Intellectual Property.


 


(a)                      SYNTA shall have the first

action that it believes is reasonably required to protect (i.e., prevent or
abate actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of) or otherwise
enforce the SYNTA Intellectual Property (other than Joint Intellectual
Property).  Any suit by SYNTA shall be
either in the name of SYNTA or its Affiliate, the name of ROCHE or its
Affiliate, or jointly by ROCHE, SYNTA and their respective Affiliates, as may
be required by applicable Law if the relevant court would otherwise lack
jurisdiction if such Party or its Affiliate were absent from such suit.  For this purpose, ROCHE agrees to be joined
as a party to the suit if so required and shall execute such legal papers and
cooperate in the prosecution of such suit as may be reasonably requested by
SYNTA, provided  that SYNTA shall promptly reimburse all
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
actually incurred by ROCHE in connection with such cooperation.


 


(b)                      If SYNTA does not initiate

discretion, provide SYNTA
with notice of ROCHE’s intent to initiate a suit or take other appropriate
action.  If ROCHE provides such notice
and SYNTA does not initiate a suit or take such other appropriate action within
[***] ([***]) ([***] ([***]) in the case of a Paragraph IV Certification) after
receipt of such notice from ROCHE, then ROCHE shall have the right to initiate
a suit or take other appropriate action that it believes is reasonably required
to protect the SYNTA Intellectual Property solely owned by SYNTA; provided,
however,  that ROCHE shall not initiate a lawsuit or take other
enforcement action without first consulting with SYNTA.  Any suit by ROCHE shall be either in the name
of ROCHE or its Affiliate, the name of SYNTA or its Affiliate, or jointly by
ROCHE, SYNTA and their respective Affiliates, as may be required by applicable
Law if the relevant court would otherwise lack jurisdiction if such Party or
its Affiliate were absent from such suit. 
For this purpose, SYNTA agrees to be joined as a party to the suit if so
required and shall execute such legal papers and cooperate in the prosecution
of such suit as may be reasonably requested by ROCHE, provided that ROCHE shall promptly reimburse all out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually incurred
by SYNTA in connection with such cooperation.


 


8.3.3.       Right to Enforce the ROCHE
Intellectual Property.


 


(a)                      ROCHE shall have the first

action that it believes is reasonably required to protect (i.e., prevent or
abate actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of) or otherwise
enforce the ROCHE Intellectual Property (other than Joint Intellectual
Property).  Any suit by ROCHE shall be
either in the name of ROCHE or its Affiliate, the name of SYNTA or its
Affiliate, or jointly by ROCHE, SYNTA and their respective Affiliates, as may
be required by applicable Law if the relevant court would otherwise lack
jurisdiction if such Party or its Affiliate were absent from such suit.  For this purpose, SYNTA agrees to be joined
as a party to the suit if so required and shall execute such legal papers and
cooperate in the prosecution of such suit as may be reasonably requested by
ROCHE, provided  that ROCHE shall promptly reimburse all
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
actually incurred by SYNTA in connection with such cooperation.


 


(b)                      If ROCHE does not initiate
a suit or take other appropriate action that it has the initial right to
initiate or take pursuant to Section 8.3.3(a), then SYNTA may, in its
discretion, provide ROCHE with notice of SYNTA’s intent to initiate a suit or
take other appropriate action.  If SYNTA
provides such notice and ROCHE does not initiate a suit or take such other
appropriate action within [***] ([***]) ([***] ([***]) in the case of a
Paragraph IV Certification) after receipt of such notice from SYNTA, then SYNTA
shall have the right to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action that
it believes is reasonably required to protect the ROCHE Intellectual Property
solely owned by ROCHE; provided, however, that SYNTA shall
not initiate a lawsuit or take other enforcement action without first
consulting with ROCHE.  Any suit by SYNTA
shall be either in the name of SYNTA or its Affiliate, the name of ROCHE or its
Affiliate, or jointly by ROCHE, SYNTA and their respective Affiliates, as may
be required by applicable Law if the relevant court would otherwise lack
jurisdiction if such Party or its Affiliate were absent from such suit.  For this purpose, ROCHE agrees to be joined
as a party to the suit and shall execute such legal papers and cooperate in the
prosecution

attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually incurred by ROCHE in connection with
such cooperation.


 


8.3.4.       Right to Enforce the Joint Patent
Rights and Joint Know-how. 
Responsibility for protecting (i.e., preventing or abating actual or
threatened infringement or misappropriation of) or otherwise enforcing the
Joint Patent Rights and the Joint Know-how shall be determined in the same
manner as the SYNTA Patent Rights.  The
enforcing Party shall keep the other Party informed of the status of all
enforcement activities, and shall consider in good faith all comments of the
other Party regarding any aspect of such enforcement.  The enforcing Party shall not discontinue
enforcement of Joint Patent Right or Joint Know-how without providing prior written
notice to, and consultation with, the non-enforcing Party.


 


8.3.5.       Conduct of Certain Actions; Costs.  The Party initiating suit shall have the sole
and exclusive right to select counsel for any suit initiated by it pursuant to Section 8.3.2,
8.3.3 or 8.3.4.  The initiating Party
shall assume and pay all of its own out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection
with any litigation or proceedings initiated by it pursuant to Section 8.3.2,
8.3.3 or 8.3.4, including the fees and expenses of the legal counsel selected
by it.  The other Party shall have the
right to participate and be represented in any such suit by the initiating
Party’s counsel, or by its own legal counsel at its own expense.


 


8.3.6.       Recoveries.  If ROCHE assumes control over any suit in
response to any Infringement Claim, SYNTA shall be entitled, at its option, to (a) treat
as Net Sales or (b) receive  [***] percent
([***]%) of, any damages, settlements, accounts of profits, or other financial
compensation recovered by ROCHE from a Third Party based upon any suit
initiated by ROCHE in response to such Infringement Claim after deducting ROCHE’s
actual out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) incurred in pursuing such Infringement Claim, and ROCHE may retain
the balance.  If SYNTA assumes control
over any suit in response to any Infringement Claim, ROCHE shall be entitled to
receive [***] percent ([***]%) of any damages, settlements, accounts of
profits, or other financial compensation recovered from a Third Party based
upon such suit in response to any such Infringement Claim after deducting SYNTA’s
actual out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) incurred in pursuing such suit in response to such Infringement
Claim, and SYNTA may retain the balance.


 


8.4.          Patent Invalidity Claim.  Each of the Parties shall promptly notify the
other in the event of any legal or administrative action by any Third Party
against a ROCHE Patent Right, SYNTA Patent Right or Joint Patent Right, of
which it becomes aware, including any nullity, revocation, reexamination or
compulsory license proceeding or, in accordance with Section 8.6, any
Paragraph IV Certification.  ROCHE shall
have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend against any such action
or Paragraph IV Certification involving a ROCHE Patent Right, in its own name,
and the costs of any such defense shall be at ROCHE’s expense.  SYNTA shall have the first right, but not the
obligation, to defend against any such action or Paragraph IV Certification
involving a SYNTA Patent Right or Joint Patent Right, in its own name, and the
costs of any such defense shall be at SYNTA’s expense.  The non-initiating Party, upon request

agrees to join in any such action and to cooperate reasonably with the
initiating Party, provided  that the initiating Party shall
promptly reimburse all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees and expenses) actually incurred by the non-initiating Party in connection
with such cooperation.  If the initiating
Party does not defend against any such action, then the non-initiating Party
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend such action and any
such defense shall be at the non-initiating Party’s expense.


 


8.5.          Patent Marking. 
ROCHE shall comply with the patent marking statutes in each country in
which the Licensed Product is sold by ROCHE, its Affiliates, or its
Sublicensees.


 


8.6.          Certification Under Drug Price Competition and Patent
Restoration Act.  If a Party becomes
aware of any certification filed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. §355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or
355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV), or any notice under any future analogous provisions of
United States Law relating to regulation or approval of pharmaceutical products
(or any amendment or successor statute thereto), or any comparable Law under
any other jurisdiction, claiming that any SYNTA Patent Right, ROCHE Patent
Right or Joint Patent Right, in each case Covering a Licensed Product in the
Field, is invalid or otherwise unenforceable, or that infringement will not
arise from the manufacture, use, import or sale or offer of sale of a product
by a Third Party (a “Paragraph IV Certification”), such Party shall
promptly notify the other Party in writing within three (3) Business Days
after its receipt thereof.


 


8.7.          Cooperation. 
SYNTA and ROCHE shall reasonably cooperate in the prosecution,
procurement, maintenance and enforcement of all SYNTA Patent Rights, ROCHE
Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights. 
Such cooperation may include assistance by either Party and its
respective Affiliates, employees, agents, consultants and designees in
formulating responses to official actions received from the United States
Patent and Trademark Office and foreign patent offices, signing documents in connection
with the prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of such Patent Rights and
taking steps to perfect title in such Patent Rights.  No Party may, without obtaining the prior
written consent of such other Party, settle or compromise any claim or proceeding
relating to the Joint Know-how, Joint Patent Rights or the other Party’s
solely-owned Patent Rights or Know-how.


 


ARTICLE IX -CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION


 


9.1.          Treatment of Confidential Information.  During the Term and for [***] ([***]) [***]
thereafter, each Party shall maintain Confidential Information of the other
Party in confidence, and shall not disclose, divulge, or otherwise communicate
such Confidential Information to others or use it for any purpose other than in
performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights pursuant to this
Agreement, except that each Party may disclose such Confidential Information to
its agents, directors, officers, employees, consultants, subcontractors,
Affiliates and advisors (collectively, “Agents”) under written
obligations of confidentiality at least as stringent as the confidentiality
provisions set forth in this Article IX and with a need to know such
information to perform such obligations or exercise such rights on behalf of
the disclosing Party.  Each Party shall
exercise efforts that are at least as diligent as those generally used by such
Party in protecting its own confidential and proprietary information (but no
less

than reasonable efforts), to
prevent and restrain the unauthorized disclosure or use of such Confidential
Information by any of its Agents.  Each
Party will be responsible for a breach of this Article IX by its
Agents.  For clarity, either Party may
disclose Confidential Information of the other Party (a) to Regulatory
Authorities, to the extent necessary to obtain or maintain INDs or Regulatory
Approvals for any Licensed Product as permitted under this Agreement; (b) to
outside consultants, scientific advisory boards, managed care organizations,
and non-clinical and clinical investigators (in each case, other than ROCHE
Entities which are not then Affiliates hereunder) to the extent necessary to
Research, Develop or Commercialize any Collaboration Compound or Licensed
Product, provided  that such Party shall obtain confidentiality
obligations from such Third Parties at least as stringent as the
confidentiality provisions set forth in this ARTICLE IX; and (c) to the
extent necessary to prosecute and enforce ROCHE Patent Rights, SYNTA Patent
Rights or Joint Patent Rights; in each of the foregoing cases, solely to the
extent applicable to such Party’s activities under this Agreement.  For clarity, ROCHE may disclose Confidential
Information of SYNTA to Chugai, solely to the extent necessary for Chugai to be
able to determine whether to Develop or Commercialize any Licensed Compound or
Licensed Product on ROCHE’s behalf hereunder, provided that ROCHE shall
obtain confidentiality obligations from Chugai at least as stringent as the
confidentiality provisions set forth in this ARTICLE IX.


 


9.2.          Exceptions. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving Party’s obligations under Section 9.1
shall not apply to any Confidential Information that, as shown by competent
evidence:


 


9.2.1.       either before or after the date of the
disclosure to the receiving Party is lawfully disclosed to the receiving Party
by Third Parties without any violation of any obligation to the other Party; or


 


9.2.2.       either before or after the date of the
disclosure to the receiving Party, becomes published or generally known to the
public through no fault or omission on the part of the receiving Party or its
Agents; or


 


9.2.3.       is independently developed by or for the
receiving Party without reference to or reliance upon the other Party’s Confidential
Information as demonstrated by contemporaneous written records of the receiving
Party; or


 


9.2.4.       is required to be disclosed by the
receiving Party to comply with applicable Laws or legal process, including the rules or
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or similar
regulatory agency in any country other than the United States, or of any stock
exchange, including Nasdaq, or to defend or prosecute litigation, provided
that the receiving Party promptly provides prior notice to the extent
practicable of such disclosure to the other Party and uses reasonable efforts
to avoid or minimize the degree of such disclosure.


 


9.3.          Publication Rights.  During the Term of this Agreement,
the following restrictions shall apply with respect to disclosure by any Party
of the other Party’s Confidential Information

relating to Collaboration
Compounds, Licensed Compounds or the Licensed Product in any publication or
presentation:


 


9.3.1.       Clinical Trial Registries.  Both Parties acknowledge that it is their
policy for the Clinical Trials with respect to the Licensed Products and
results thereof to be registered and published in accordance with their
internal guidelines.  ROCHE, in
accordance with its internal policies and procedures, shall have the right to
publish all Clinical Trials with respect to the Licensed Products and results
thereof on the clinical trial registries which are maintained by or on behalf
of ROCHE.  SYNTA shall not publish any Clinical
Trials with respect to the Licensed Products or results thereof on its clinical
trial registry; provided, however, that ROCHE’s clinical trial
registry can be accessed via a link from SYNTA’s clinical trial registry; and provided,
further, that SYNTA shall be permitted, in accordance with applicable
Law, to post Clinical Trial information with respect to the Licensed Products
on clinicaltrials.gov or any other mandated registry.


 


9.3.2.       Publication.  A Party (the “Publishing Party”) shall
provide the other Party with a copy of any proposed publication or presentation
at least [***] ([***]) [***] (or at least [***] ([***]) [***] in the case of
abstracts or oral presentations) prior to submission for publication by the
Publishing Party or its Affiliates so as to provide such other Party with an
opportunity to recommend any changes it reasonably believes are necessary to
continue to maintain the Confidential Information disclosed by the other Party
to the Publishing Party in accordance with the requirements of this
Agreement.  The incorporation of such
recommended changes shall not be unreasonably refused; and if such other Party
notifies (“Notice”) the Publishing Party in writing, within [***]
([***]) [***] after receipt of the copy of the proposed publication or
presentation (or at least [***] ([***]) [***] in the case of oral
presentations), that such publication or presentation in its reasonable
judgment (a) contains an invention, solely or jointly conceived or reduced
to practice by the other Party, for which the other Party reasonably desires to
obtain patent protection or (b) could be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the commercial value of any Confidential Information
disclosed by the other Party to the Publishing Party, the Publishing Party
shall prevent such publication or delay such publication for a mutually
agreeable period of time.  In the case of
inventions, a delay shall be for a period reasonably sufficient to permit the
timely preparation and filing of a patent application(s) on such
invention, and in no event less than [***] ([***]) [***] from the date of the
Notice.  In the case of Confidential
Information, any of the non-publishing Party’s Confidential Information shall
be deleted as requested.


 


9.3.3.       Confidential Information in Patents.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
either Party from filing or prosecuting a patent application or its resulting
patents related to a Licensed Product; provided, that such Party is in
compliance with Sections 8.2 and 9.1(c).


 


9.3.4.       Return of Confidential Information.  Upon the expiration or termination of this
Agreement, the receiving Party shall return to the disclosing Party or, at the
disclosing Party’s request, destroy all Confidential Information received from
the disclosing Party and all copies and reproductions thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the
receiving Party’s legal counsel may retain one copy of the disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information for archival

purposes, and (b) the
receiving Party may retain one copy of the disclosing Party’s Confidential
Information solely to the extent necessary to exercise the rights and licenses
of the receiving Party expressly surviving expiration or termination of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall continue to be bound by its
obligations of confidentiality and other obligations under this Article IX.

ARTICLE XI -INDEMNIFICATION


 


11.1.                     Indemnification
by ROCHE.  ROCHE shall
indemnify, hold harmless and defend SYNTA, its Affiliates and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses,
expenses, cost of defense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, witness fees,
damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) and any amounts SYNTA
becomes legally obligated to pay because of any claim or claims against it, to
the extent that such claim or claims arise out of (a) the Research,
Development, Manufacture, Commercialization, use or importation of Licensed
Compounds or Licensed Products by or on behalf of ROCHE, its Affiliates or
Sublicensees (including product liability claims), (b) the breach of any
of ROCHE’s representations or warranties hereunder, or (c) any
infringement of any Third Party Patent Rights or misappropriation of any Third
Party Know-How in connection with the Development, Manufacture,
Commercialization, use or import of any Licensed Compounds or Licensed
Products, in all cases except to the extent such losses, expenses, costs and
amounts are due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of SYNTA or
breach of any of SYNTA’s representations and warranties hereunder.


 


11.2.                     Indemnification
by SYNTA.  SYNTA shall
indemnify, hold harmless and defend ROCHE, its Affiliates and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses,
expenses, cost of defense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, witness fees,
damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) and any amounts ROCHE
becomes legally obligated to pay because of any claim or claims against it, to
the extent that such claim or claims arise out of the breach of any of SYNTA’s
representations or warranties hereunder, in all cases except to the extent such
losses, expenses, costs and amounts are due to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of ROCHE or breach of any of ROCHE’s representations and warranties
hereunder.


 


11.3.                     Procedure.  In the event of a claim by a Third Party
against any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (in such
capacity, the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly
notify the other Party (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) in
writing of the claim (it being understood that the failure by the Indemnified
Party to give prompt notice of a Third Party claim as provided in this Section 11.3
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation
under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party
is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give prompt notice).
Within [***] ([***]) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying
Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, undertake and
solely manage and control, at its sole expense and with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the defense of the claim. If the
Indemnifying Party does not undertake such defense, the Indemnified Party shall
control such defense.  The Party not
controlling such defense shall cooperate with the other Party and may, at its
option and expense, participate in such defense, provided  that if
the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified
Party in good faith concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with
respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the Indemnifying Party shall
be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the
Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith.  The Party controlling such defense shall

keep the other Party advised of the status of
such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall
consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
for any litigation costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party without
the Indemnifying Party’s written consent. The Indemnified Party shall not
settle any such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written
consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned.  Without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall
not settle any such action, suit, proceeding or claim, or consent to any
judgment in respect thereof, that does not include a complete and unconditional
release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, that
imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or that
acknowledges fault by the Indemnified Party.


 


11.4.                     Insurance.  Each Party shall maintain appropriate product
liability insurance (or self-insurance) with respect to its Research,

as such Party customarily maintains insurance with respect to sales of its
other products for similar patient populations and commercial markets.

TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT (A) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF
EITHER PARTY UNDER THIS ARTICLE XI, (B) REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO EITHER PARTY
WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF ARTICLE IX OR (C) REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO EITHER
PARTY WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF SECTION 6.6.


 


ARTICLE XII -TERM AND TERMINATION


 


12.1.                     Term.  The term of this Agreement shall commence on
the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated as provided in this Article XII,

SYNTA; provided, that ROCHE cannot terminate this Agreement with respect
to all Licensed Compounds except as provided in the first sentence of this Section 12.3.


 


12.4.                     Termination for
Cause.  In the event of a material
breach of this Agreement by a Party, the other Party may give the Party in
default notice of such material breach.

receipt of such notice (or within thirty (30) days in the case of a payment
breach), the notifying Party shall be entitled (without prejudice to any of its
other rights conferred on it by this Agreement or under applicable Law) to
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the defaulting Party, with
such termination to take effect immediately.


 


12.5.                     Termination if
ROCHE Challenges SYNTA Patent Rights.  If ROCHE or any of ROCHE’s Affiliates or
Sublicensees challenges the validity, enforceability, patentability or scope of
an claim included in any SYNTA Patent Rights or supports, directly or
indirectly, any such challenge (any of the foregoing, a “Patent Challenge”),
SYNTA shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’
written notice to ROCHE with respect to the SYNTA Patent Right so challenged by
ROCHE or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees; provided, however,
that if such Patent Challenge is terminated during such thirty (30) day period,
then SYNTA shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement in respect of
such Patent Challenge; provided, however, that (a) at SYNTA’s
request, ROCHE shall issue a joint press release with SYNTA promptly after the
termination of such Patent Challenge, which press release shall publicize that
the relationship between ROCHE and SYNTA with respect to this Agreement is
strong, and (b) if ROCHE or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees was the
first Person to initiate any such Patent Challenge, then ROCHE shall reimburse
SYNTA for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by SYNTA
in defending such Patent Challenge and any similar Patent Challenge made by any
Third Party within one (1) year after the initial Patent Challenge, and
shall pay all such reimbursement amounts within thirty (30) days after receipt
of an invoice from SYNTA therefor.


 


12.6.                     Consequences of
Termination by ROCHE for Convenience in its Entirety; Termination by SYNTA for
ROCHE Breach or Patent Challenge.  If this Agreement is terminated by SYNTA in
its entirety pursuant to Section 12.2 (Termination for No Activity), by
ROCHE in its entirety pursuant to Section 12.3 (Termination for
Convenience), or by SYNTA pursuant to Section 12.4 (Termination for Cause)
or 12.5 (Termination if ROCHE Challenges SYNTA Patent Rights), then:

possession or control relating to all Collaboration Compounds that are not
Licensed Compounds  (other than ROCHE solely Controlled
Collaboration Compounds), Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products;


 


12.6.3.           Preclinical and
Clinical Matters.  ROCHE shall
assign to SYNTA its entire right, title, and interest in and to all preclinical
and clinical data, including pharmacology and biology data, in ROCHE’s or its

SYNTA to continue the Research, Development or Commercialization of
Collaboration Compounds that are not Licensed Compounds (other than ROCHE solely
Controlled Collaboration Compounds), Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products;


 


12.6.4.           Manufacturing
Matters.  At SYNTA’s option, ROCHE

such Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products, at ROCHE’s FBMC;


 


12.6.5.           Manufacturing Obligations after Termination.  To the extent ROCHE (or an Affiliate of
ROCHE) is Manufacturing (on its own or through any Third Party contract
manufacturer) any Licensed Product, ROCHE (or its Affiliate) shall, at SYNTA’s
request, continue, for a period up to [***] ([***]) [***], to Manufacture (or
have Manufactured) such Licensed Product and supply such Licensed Product to
SYNTA.  ROCHE shall be obligated to
supply quantities of such Licensed Product sufficient to satisfy SYNTA’s
requirements under a manufacturing transfer and transition plan to be
negotiated by the Parties in good faith so that SYNTA can assume all
Development and Commercialization activities with regard to such Licensed
Product.  ROCHE will supply such
quantities of Licensed Product at ROCHE’s FBMC (as such term is consistently
applied by ROCHE at the time of supply) plus [***] percent ([***]%).  In addition, for a period of time to be
agreed upon in good faith by the Parties up to [***] ([***]) [***], ROCHE shall
assist SYNTA as reasonably requested in (a) causing the assignment to
SYNTA of any and all applicable Third Party Manufacturing and supply agreements
for such Licensed Product, to the extent possible, or (b) transferring the
Manufacturing process for such Licensed Product to SYNTA or a Third Party
contract manufacturer engaged by SYNTA. 
Such assistance shall include assisting SYNTA in developing and
executing a reasonable transfer and providing reasonable technical and regulatory
assistance and documentation relating to the manufacture, testing and supply of
such Licensed Product as necessary for SYNTA to be qualified or to qualify a

Licensed Compounds and Licensed Products; in each case subject to ROCHE’s
continued compliance with ROCHE’s payment and other obligations under Article VII
with respect to such Collaboration Compounds, Licensed Compounds or Licensed
Products.


 


12.8.                     Effect of
Termination and Expiration; Accrued Rights and Obligations.  Upon termination or expiration of this
Agreement for any reason, all rights and obligations of the Parties, including
the licenses granted hereunder, shall end, unless otherwise set forth in this Article XII.  Termination of this Agreement for any reason
shall not release either Party from any liability that, at the time of such
termination, has already accrued or that is attributable to a period prior to
such termination (including payments for Research and Development work
performed, and other payment obligations under Article VII accrued, prior
to the effective date of termination) nor preclude either Party from pursuing
any right or remedy it may have hereunder or at Law or in equity with respect
to any breach of this Agreement. 
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (a) if this Agreement is
terminated by ROCHE pursuant to Section 12.4 (Termination for Cause), then
ROCHE need not make any payments pursuant to Section 7.4 (Development
Event Payments) that first accrue during the applicable cure period set forth
in Section 12.4 with respect to the breach for which ROCHE so terminated
this Agreement, and (b) if this Agreement is terminated in its entirety by
ROCHE pursuant to Section 12.3 (Termination for Convenience), then ROCHE
need not make any payments pursuant to rows (a) through (d) in the
table in Section 7.4 (Development Event Payments) that first accrue during
the three (3) month notice period set forth in Section 12.3 with
respect to such termination.  In

(Termination for Convenience), or by SYNTA pursuant to Section 12.2
(Termination for No Activity), 12.4 (Termination for Cause) or 12.5
(Termination if ROCHE Challenges SYNTA Patent Rights), then ROCHE shall
continue to be responsible for all non-cancellable costs committed to by SYNTA
which would otherwise have been reimbursed by ROCHE hereunder and all costs
committed to by SYNTA for Development activities which cannot be cancelled for
ethical reasons; provided, that SYNTA shall use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to mitigate such costs.  It is
understood and agreed

8.2.6, 8.3.1, 8.3.4, 8.3.5, 8.3.6, 8.4, 8.6 and 8.7 shall survive expiration or
termination of this Agreement for any reason.


 


12.10.              Consequences
Regarding Termination of Licensed Compounds in One or More Regions for

terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.3 (Termination for
Convenience) with respect to a Licensed Compound in one or more Regions, then:


 


12.10.1.                                 Termination of
Licenses.  The
licenses granted by SYNTA to ROCHE pursuant to Section 6.2 (Development
and Commercialization License to ROCHE) shall automatically terminate, in all
Terminated Regions, with respect to such Licensed Compound and all Licensed
Products containing such Licensed Compound;


 


12.10.2.                                 Regulatory
Matters.  ROCHE shall (a) transfer

received with respect to, any Terminated Region (or any country therein), which
filings or Regulatory Approvals are in ROCHE’s or its Affiliates’ possession or

such Licensed Compound; and (b) grant SYNTA or its designees a Right of
Reference or Use to any and all regulatory filings filed in, and Regulatory
Approvals received with respect to, any Region (or country) other than a
Terminated Region (or any country therein), which filings or Regulatory Approvals
are in ROCHE’s or its Affiliates’ possession or control and relate to such
Licensed Compound and Licensed Products containing such Licensed Compound, and
ROCHE shall sign, and cause its Affiliates to sign, any instruments reasonably
requested by SYNTA in order to effect such grant.  For the sake of clarity, SYNTA may publish on
its clinical trial registry any Clinical Trials with respect to Licensed
Products containing such Licensed Compound or results thereof;


 


12.10.3.                                 Preclinical and

such Licensed Compound is terminated in all Regions, ROCHE shall assign to
SYNTA its entire right, title, and interest in and to all preclinical and
clinical data, including pharmacology and biology data, in ROCHE’s or its
Affiliates’ possession or control, relating to, and to the extent necessary for
SYNTA to continue, the Development or Commercialization of such Licensed
Compound and Licensed Products containing such Licensed Compound; (b) If
such Licensed Compound is terminated in some, but not all, Regions, then ROCHE
shall provide to SYNTA a copy of all preclinical and clinical data, including
pharmacology and biology data, in ROCHE’s or its

such Licensed Compound;


 


12.10.4.                                 Worldwide
Manufacturing Matters.  Once
such Licensed Compound is terminated in all Regions, then, at SYNTA’s option,
ROCHE shall (a) to the extent assignable at no cost to ROCHE, assign to
SYNTA each manufacturing agreement then in effect with respect to the
Manufacture of such Licensed Compound and Licensed Products containing such Licensed
Compound; (b) transfer to SYNTA Manufacturing documents and materials
which are used (at the time of the termination) by or on behalf of ROCHE, its
Affiliates or Sublicensees in the Manufacture of such Licensed Compound and
Licensed Products containing such Licensed Compound; and (c) upon SYNTA’s
request, sell to SYNTA (or its designee) ROCHE’s then-existing inventory of
such Licensed Compound and Licensed Products containing such Licensed Compound,
at FBMC;


 


12.10.5.                                 Regional
Manufacturing Matters.  If
such Licensed Compound is terminated in some, but not all, Regions, then, at
SYNTA’s option, ROCHE shall sell to SYNTA (or its designee) a proportionate
amount of ROCHE’s then-existing inventory of such Licensed Compound and
Licensed Products containing such Licensed Compound, at FBMC, which proportion
reflects (a) if such Licensed Products had been Commercialized in each
Region prior to such termination, the proportion of units of such Licensed
Products sold in the Terminated Regions during the [***] ([***]) [***] period
prior to such termination, compared to the number of units of such Licensed
Products sold worldwide during such [***] ([***]) [***] period, or (b) if
such Licensed Products had not been Commercialized in each Region prior to such
termination, an estimate, as mutually agreed by the Parties in good faith, of
the number of units of such Licensed Products anticipated to be sold in the
Terminated Regions during the [***] ([***]) [***] period immediately following
such termination, compared to the number of units of such Licensed Products
anticipated to be sold worldwide during such [***] ([***]) [***] period; provided,
however, that, if the then-existing inventory is not sufficient to
provide both SYNTA with such amounts and ROCHE with the amounts of such
Licensed Compound and Licensed Products containing such Licensed Compound it
reasonably requires to Commercialize such Licensed Products in the next [***]
([***]) [***] period, then ROCHE may retain as much of such then-existing
inventory as it reasonably requires to Commercialize such Licensed Products in
the next [***] ([***]) [***] period;


 


12.10.6.                                 ROCHE
Manufacturing.  To the
extent ROCHE (or an Affiliate of ROCHE) is Manufacturing (on its own or through
any Third Party contract manufacturer) any such Licensed Product that has
achieved First Commercial Sale in any country (a “Terminated Commercial
Product”), ROCHE (or its Affiliate) shall, at SYNTA’s request, continue,
for a period up to [***] ([***]) [***], to Manufacture (or have Manufactured)
such Terminated Commercial Product and supply such Terminated Commercial
Product to SYNTA, for SYNTA to Develop such Terminated Commercial Product for,

Parties in good faith so that SYNTA can assume, with regard to such Terminated
Commercial Product, all Development activities for, and Commercialization
activities in, the Terminated Regions. 
ROCHE will supply such quantities of Terminated Commercial Product at

Manufacturing and supply agreements for such Terminated Commercial Product, to
the extent possible without jeopardizing ROCHE’s manufacturing needs, and (b) in
transferring the Manufacturing process for such Terminated Commercial Product to

to be qualified or to qualify a Third Party for the Manufacturing of such
Licensed Product.  Prior to such Licensed

5.3 (Co-Promotion Terms), if the JSC is unable to resolve any matter
considered by it, including matters referred to it by the JRDC, within [***]
([***]) [***] after the matter is first considered by it, the matter shall be
referred to the Executive Officers to be resolved by negotiation in good faith
as soon as is practicable but in no event later than ([***]) [***] after
referral.  Such resolution, if any, of a
referred issue by the Executive Officers shall be final and binding on the
Parties.


 


13.2.       Alternative Dispute Resolution.  Subject to Sections 3.2.4 (Decision-Making)
and 13.1, if a dispute referred to the Executive Officers has not been resolved

the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  Such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA
pursuant to its procedures.  The AAA
shall be the administrator of the arbitration proceedings.


 


13.2.2.  Ruling.  The arbitrator(s) may proceed to an
award notwithstanding the failure of the other Party to participate in the
proceedings.  The Parties shall use good
faith efforts to complete arbitration under this Section 13.2 within
ninety (90) days following the initiation of such arbitration.  The arbitrator(s) shall establish
reasonable additional procedures to facilitate and complete such arbitration
within such ninety (90) day period.  The
arbitrator(s) shall be authorized to grant interim relief, including to
prevent the destruction of goods or documents involved in the dispute, protect
trade secrets and provide for security for a prospective monetary award.  The arbitrator(s) shall issue a written
decision in order to explain the basis of the ruling, unless otherwise agreed
by the Parties.  The arbitrator(s) shall
not have the authority to award special, incidental, consequential, exemplary,

the arbitrator(s) rule in favor of one Party on some issues and the
other Party on other issues, the arbitrator(s) shall issue with the ruling
a written determination as to how such fees and expenses shall be allocated
between the Parties.  The arbitrator(s) shall
allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship to the
outcome of the arbitration, with the Party prevailing on more issues, or on
issues of greater value or gravity, recovering a relatively larger share of its
legal fees and expenses.


 


13.2.4.  Decision.  Any decision or award of the arbitrator(s) shall
be final, conclusive, and binding on the Parties, and judgment may be entered
on any award in any court of competent jurisdiction, subject only to revocation
on grounds of fraud or clear bias on the part of the arbitrators.  To the extent lawful, the Parties otherwise
exclude any right of application or appeal to the courts in connection with any
matter arising in the arbitration or in connection with any award or decision
made by the arbitrators.

foregoing, (a) nothing in this Article XIII shall be construed as
limiting in any way the right of a Party to seek injunctive or other equitable
relief from a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to any actual or
threatened breach of this Agreement, and (b) each Party shall have the
right to institute judicial proceedings against the other Party (or anyone

Either Party may change its address by giving notice
to the other Party in the manner provided above.


 


14.5.       Entire Agreement. 
This Agreement (including all attachments hereto) contains the complete
understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, sets
forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations,
conditions and understandings between the Parties and supersedes all prior
understandings and writings relating to such subject matter.  In particular, and without limitation, it
supersedes and replaces the Confidentiality Agreements and any and all term
sheets relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
exchanged between the Parties prior to the Effective Date.  For the sake of clarity, nothing herein shall
terminate or supersede the Confidential Disclosure Agreement between SYNTA and
ROCHE NUTLEY dated as of August 5, 2005. 
No amendment, change or addition to this Agreement will be effective or
binding on either Party unless reduced to writing and duly executed on behalf
of both Parties.


 


14.6.       Headings. 
Headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
shall not be considered in construing this Agreement.


 


14.7.       Severability.  If
any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable by a court or tribunal of
competent jurisdiction because it is invalid or conflicts with any Law of any
relevant jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be
affected.  In such event, the Parties
shall negotiate a substitute provision that, to the extent possible,
accomplishes the original business purpose.


 


14.8.       Assignment. 
Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be
assigned or otherwise transferred by any Party without the written consent of
the other Party; provided, however that any Party may, without
such consent, assign this Agreement, in whole or in part:  (a) to any of its respective Affiliates,
provided  that such Party shall remain jointly and severally
liable with such Affiliate in respect of all obligations so assigned and such
Affiliate has acknowledged and confirmed in writing that, effective as of such
assignment or other transfer, such Affiliate shall be bound by this Agreement
as if it were a party to it as and to the identical extent applicable to the
transferor; or (b) to any successor in interest by way of merger or
acquisition or by sale of all or substantially all of its assets to which this
Agreement pertains (whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale or
otherwise), provided, that such successor agrees in writing to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were the assigning party.  Any purported assignment in violation of this
Section 14.8 shall be void.  The
terms of this

have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the
Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Agreement shall be binding on and inure to
the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the Parties.


 


14.9.       Counterparts. 
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument


 


14.10.     Force Majeure.  No Party shall be liable for failure of or
delay in performing obligations set forth in this Agreement, and no Party shall
be deemed in breach of its obligations, if such failure or delay is due to a
natural disaster, explosion, fire, flood, tornadoes, thunderstorms, earthquake,
war, terrorism, riots, embargo, losses or shortages of power, labor stoppage,
substance or material shortages, damage to or loss of product in transit,
events caused by reason of Laws of any Regulatory Authority, events caused by
acts or omissions of a Third Party, or any other cause reasonably beyond the control
of such Party.  The Party affected by
such force majeure will provide the other Party with full particulars thereof
as soon as it becomes aware of the same (including its good faith estimate of
the likely extent and duration of the interference with its activities), and
will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to overcome the difficulties created
thereby and to resume performance of its obligations as soon as
practicable.  If the performance of any
such obligation under this Agreement is delayed owing to such a force majeure
for any continuous period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days, the
Parties will consult with respect to an equitable solution, including the
possibility of the mutual termination of this Agreement.


 


14.11.     Press Releases and Other Disclosures.  The Parties will cooperate in the release of
a joint press release, substantially in the form set forth in Schedule
14.11, as soon as practicable after the Execution Date of this
Agreement.  The Parties also recognize
that each Party may from time to time desire to issue additional press releases
and make other public statements or disclosures regarding the subject matter of
this Agreement.  In such event, the Party
desiring to issue an additional press release or make a public statement or
disclosure shall provide the other Party with a copy of the proposed press
release, statement or disclosure for review, comment and approval at least
[***] ([***]) Business Days in advance (or such shorter period as would permit
the publicizing Party to comply with applicable Law), which advance approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (except that neither
Party shall have any obligation to disclose Confidential Information except to
the extent required or permitted pursuant to Article IX).  The reviewing Party shall notify the
publicizing Party within such [***] ([***]) Business Days period (or such
shorter period) of its comments and whether it approves such disclosure.  It is agreed that each such disclosure shall
only be done with such approval of the other Party and no other public
statement or disclosure concerning the existence or terms of this Agreement
shall be made, either directly or indirectly, by either Party, without first
obtaining the written approval of the other Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 14.11 or of Article IX, (a) a Party may make any
disclosure or public announcement if the contents of such disclosure or public
announcement have previously been made public other than through a breach of
this Agreement by the issuing Party; (b) if a Party reasonably determines
that a public disclosure shall be required by Law, including in a public filing
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such Party may disclose the
existence and terms of this Agreement


 


Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and
have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the
Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

and any material developments that occur
under this Agreement where so required, provided  that such Party
shall, to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable Law, notify the
other Party and allow the other Party to comment on the proposed disclosure,
which comments shall be considered by the disclosing Party in good faith; (c) a
Party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement under obligations
of confidentiality to bona fide potential or actual advisors, consultants,
investors, lenders, investment bankers or other potential financial partners in
connection with such Party’s proposed financing or business combination
activities; and (d) a Party may disclose the terms and existence of this
Agreement to bona fide potential or actual Sublicensees, as reasonably
necessary in connection with a permitted sublicense under the licenses granted
in this Agreement.


 


14.12.     Third Party Beneficiaries.  None of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Third Party other than an
indemnitee under Article XI.  No
such Third Party shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement
or shall by reason of any such provision make any claim in respect of any debt,
liability or obligation (or otherwise) against either Party.


 


14.13.     Relationship of the Parties.  Each Party shall bear its own costs incurred
in the performance of its obligations hereunder without charge or expense to
the other, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.  Neither Party shall have any responsibility
for the hiring, termination or compensation of the other Party’s employees or
for any employee compensation or benefits of the other Party’s employees.  No employee or representative of a Party
shall have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party for any sum or in
any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other
liability on the other Party without such other Party’s approval.  For all purposes, and notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the legal relationship under
this Agreement of each Party to the other Party shall be that of independent
contractor.  Nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to establish a relationship of partners or joint venturers
between the Parties.


 


14.14.     Performance by Affiliates.  Either Party may use one or more of its
Affiliates to perform its obligations and duties hereunder and Affiliates of a
Party are expressly granted certain rights herein; provided, that each
such Affiliate shall be bound by the corresponding obligations of such Party
and the relevant Party shall remain liable hereunder for the prompt payment and
performance of all their respective obligations hereunder.  ROCHE BASEL and ROCHE NUTLEY shall be jointly
and severally liable to SYNTA for any obligations owed hereunder by ROCHE
BASEL, ROCHE NUTLEY or ROCHE.  ROCHE
BASEL and ROCHE NUTLEY shall coordinate their exercise of ROCHE’s rights and
performance of ROCHE’s obligations to ensure that SYNTA does not receive
inconsistent notices or instruction with respect thereto.


 


14.15.     Construction.  Each Party acknowledges that it has been
advised by counsel during the course of negotiation of this Agreement, and,
therefore, that this Agreement shall be interpreted without regard to any
presumption or rule requiring construction against the Party causing this
Agreement to be drafted.  Any reference
in this Agreement to an Article, Section, subsection, paragraph, clause,
Schedule, or Exhibit shall be deemed to be a reference to any

SCHEDULE 5.3


 


Co-Promotion Terms


 


1.                                       Certain
Definitions:


 


(a)                                  “Detail” means that
part of an in-person, face-to-face sales call during which a Sales
Representative makes a presentation, including core selling message and
features and benefits, of a Licensed Product to one or more member of the
Target Audience.  E-details and
presentations made at conventions and exhibit booths shall not constitute one
or more Details.


 


(b)                                 “Detail Percentage”
means (i) with respect to asthma, up to [***] percent ([***]%), as
determined by SYNTA, and (ii) with respect to any other Indication other
than asthma, up to [***] percent ([***]%), as determined by SYNTA.


 


(c)                                  “Sales Representative”
means a professional pharmaceutical sales representative engaged or employed by
either Party to conduct, among other sales responsibilities, Detailing and
other promotional efforts with respect to a Co-promoted Product and who has
been trained by either Party in accordance with Paragraph 4 below.  In the case of SYNTA, a Sales Representatives
shall be an employee of SYNTA.


 


(d)                                 “Sales Representative FTE
Rate” means the lower of (a) ROCHE’s fully burdened, average annual
cost for its Sales Representatives that are ROCHE employees or (b) SYNTA’s

of this subsection (d), such costs shall be determined in a manner reasonably

then the Parties shall work in good faith to most effectively assign sales
territories and assign target physicians between their respective sales
forces.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, SYNTA
shall have final decision-making authority as to whether it will accept the
geographic location and size of its sales territories within the U.S.  If SYNTA does not accept a particular
geographic location or size of its sales territories within the U.S., then
ROCHE shall in good faith discuss with SYNTA a reasonably acceptable
alternative such that SYNTA has the ability to provide the Detail Percentage of
the annual budgeted Detailing effort for such Co-promoted Product in the United
States for the applicable Indication. 
Promptly following exercise by SYNTA of its right to participate in the
Co-promotion of a Product in the United States, ROCHE shall modify its relevant

Guidelines”), which shall consider in good faith the
reasonable suggestions and comments of SYNTA. 
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, ROCHE shall have final decision
making authority with regard to (i) generating the Co-promotion Guidelines
(provided, that, such Co-Promotion Guidelines shall (A) comply with
applicable Law, (B) be generated in good faith and (C) not contain
provisions that disfavor SYNTA and its Sales Representatives or that cause an
undue burden on SYNTA or its Sales Representatives) and (ii) all
promotional materials and strategies. 
The Co-promotion Guidelines shall address the following matters:

(3)                                  the number and
position of Details and categories of professionals or institutions to be

Parties in accordance with the Detail Percentage elected by SYNTA; and


 


(4)                                  policies and
procedures relating to Co-promoted Product sampling.


 


3.                                       Co-promotion

position of Details performed by its Sales Representatives in accordance with
its normal internal reporting procedures.

each Party shall submit to the other Party a report with respect to the number
of Details performed by its Sales Representatives during such Calendar Quarter.


 


4.                                       Co-promotion
Training and Materials.


 


(a)                                  Except as set forth below,
each Party shall be responsible for staffing, training, supervising and
compensating (including incentives) its own sales personnel.  ROCHE shall be responsible for the
development of Co-promoted Product-specific training materials, and shall
provide such materials to SYNTA’s sales force, at ROCHE’s expense.  Each
Party shall use the same training materials for its respective sales
personnel.  ROCHE shall conduct
Co-promoted Product-specific training of SYNTA’s sales management, sales
training personnel, and sales representatives, at ROCHE’s expense.  Following such initial training, any
subsequent training of SYNTA’s training personnel shall be made available by
ROCHE at ROCHE’s expense only when ROCHE trains its own Sales Representatives
on the Co-promoted Product. All Co-promoted Product-specific training materials
prepared and supplied by ROCHE for use in the United States will comply with
all applicable Laws and the Co-promotion Guidelines.


 


(b)                                 SYNTA’s Sales
Representatives will utilize only the promotional materials provided to them by
ROCHE, and will not utilize any other promotional, advertising, communications
or other materials, relating to or referring to the Co-promoted Product.  SYNTA’s Sales Representatives will conduct
only those promotional activities relating to the Co-promoted Product that have
been approved in advance in accordance with the Co-promotion

Guidelines.  SYNTA’s Sales
Representatives shall not modify, change or alter the promotional materials in
any way whatsoever without the express prior written consent of ROCHE.  SYNTA’s Sales Representatives shall use the
promotional materials solely for the purpose of performing their obligations
under this Agreement.  SYNTA shall
require that its Sales Representatives perform Co-promotion activities in
compliance with all applicable Laws and the Co-promotion Guidelines.


 


5.                                       Co-promotion
Costs.  If SYNTA exercises its right
to participate in the Co-promotion of one or more Licensed Products in the
United States pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Agreement, then ROCHE shall
reimburse SYNTA for all Sales Representative costs incurred by or on behalf of
SYNTA or its Affiliates in connection with the Co-promotion of the Co-promoted
Product in the United States for the applicable Indication.  Costs of SYNTA’s Sales Representatives shall
be determined on a full-time equivalent cost basis using the Sales
Representative FTE Rate.  SYNTA shall
invoice, on a quarterly basis, ROCHE for the costs of its Sales Representatives
to be paid by ROCHE and such invoice shall be paid by ROCHE within [***]
([***]) days after receipt thereof.
