Option, License and Collaboration Agreement





8.2    Gilead’s Option Rights. 
(a)    Option Grant.  For each Galapagos Program, subject to Section 8.2(d), Galapagos hereby grants to Gilead an exclusive option to obtain the exclusive and co-exclusive licenses described in Section 8.3 with respect to such Galapagos Program and all Galapagos Molecules and Galapagos Products included in such Galapagos Program (each, an “Option”).  The Option with respect to each Galapagos Program shall be effective for the period beginning on (i) the Effective Date, for any Galapagos Program in existence as of the Effective Date, (ii) the date of acquisition by Galapagos or its applicable Affiliate, for any Acquired Galapagos Program that constitutes a Galapagos Program as of such date of acquisition, or (iii) the date on which a Galapagos Program comes into existence, for any Galapagos Program arising after the Effective Date from Pre-Program Activities (including, for clarity, with respect to any Acquired Galapagos Program that did not constitute a Galapagos Program upon acquisition), and, in each case ((i) through (iii)), ending on the earliest to occur with respect to such Option of (A) the applicable Option Exercise Closing with respect to each country in the Territory, (B) the end of the applicable Option Exercise Period prior to delivery by Gilead of an Option Exercise Notice for such Option, (C) the termination of such Option pursuant to Section 8.2(e), (D) the expiration or termination pursuant to ARTICLE XIV of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to all Galapagos Molecules and all Galapagos Products in the applicable Galapagos Program, and (E) the third anniversary of the end of the Collaboration Term (such effectiveness period with respect to each such Option, the “Galapagos Program Period”).  
(b)    Option Exercise Notice; Option Exercise Period.  
(i)    With respect to each Galapagos Program (and all Galapagos Molecules and Galapagos Products included in such Galapagos Program), Gilead may exercise the Option at any time during the applicable Option Exercise Period for such Galapagos Program by delivering a written notice of such exercise to Galapagos (each such notice for any Galapagos Program, an “Option Exercise Notice”).  “Option Exercise Period” means, for each Galapagos Program, the period beginning on the Completion Date of the first Phase 2 Clinical Trial for a Galapagos Product in such Galapagos Program (whether or not such Clinical Trial is a Triggering Clinical Trial) and ending on the earlier to occur of: 
(A)    delivery of an Option Exercise Notice by Gilead for such Galapagos Program or Gilead’ notice that it declines to exercise such Option, and 
(B)    11:59 p.m. Pacific time on the later of (1) the [...***...] day after the date on which Galapagos has delivered to Gilead a Qualifying Data Package for such Galapagos Program and (2) [...***...] Business Days after a determination pursuant to [...***...] that a Qualifying Data Package has been delivered; 
provided that for any Galapagos Program that is an Acquired Galapagos Program, clause (B)(1) above shall be the [...***...] day after the applicable delivery date; provided further that the Option Exercise Period for a given Galapagos Program shall [...***...].  
(ii)    During the Option Exercise Period for each Galapagos Program, Gilead may reasonably request additional information with respect to such Galapagos Program (including in connection with Gilead’s review of the Galapagos Option Schedule of Exceptions for such Galapagos Program delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(iii)), and to the extent that the information reasonably requested by Gilead is at such time reasonably available, Galapagos shall make full, accurate and timely responses to such requests.  For clarity, (x) the foregoing sentence shall have no effect on the duration of the Option Exercise Period and (y) Galapagos shall not be required, as a result of such an information request by Gilead pursuant to this Section 8.2(b)(ii), to generate new information or to conduct any additional Development

activities.  If Gilead has not provided an Option Exercise Notice for such Galapagos Program to Galapagos in accordance with Section 8.2(b)(i) prior to the end of the Option Exercise Period for such Galapagos Program, then effective immediately after the end of such Option Exercise Period, such Galapagos Program shall be an Excluded Program.  
(iii)    If Gilead exercises the Option with respect to any Galapagos Program that is also an Acquired Galapagos Program, then the Parties shall adjust the terms of this Agreement to the extent necessary to account for any encumbrances or limitations on such Acquired Galapagos Program that restrict Gilead’s activities relating to such Acquired Galapagos Program or rights to exploit the Acquired Galapagos Program pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Gilead’s rights to Commercialize Optioned Products throughout the Gilead Territory in the Field.  With respect to such Acquired Galapagos Program, [...***...] shall be responsible for any [...***...].  
(iv)    The Parties may agree to allow Gilead to exercise the Option for any Galapagos Program prior to the Option Exercise Period, and in such case, the allocation of Research and Development Costs set forth in Section 9.9(a) that would have applied following an Option Exercise Closing in the normal course shall [...***...].     
(v)    “Triggering Clinical Trial” means for each Galapagos Program either:  
(A)    the first Phase 2 Clinical Trial that reaches its Completion Date for a Galapagos Product in such Galapagos Program for a particular indication and that satisfies each of the following criteria: (1) [...***...]; (2) [...***...]; and (3) [...***...]; or 
(B)    the first Phase 3 Clinical Trial that reaches its Completion Date for a Galapagos Product in such Galapagos Program, if such Phase 3 Clinical Trial reaches its Completion Date prior to any Phase 2 Clinical Trial for such Galapagos Product in such Galapagos Program that satisfies the criteria in clause (A) above. 
(vi)    Without limitation of the foregoing, any Phase 2 Clinical Trial that satisfies [...***...] will be presumed to be a Triggering Clinical Trial if it is designed with [...***...] and [...***...].  For clarity, the foregoing sentence shall not be interpreted to mean that a Phase 2 Clinical Trial [...***...] is presumed to not be a Triggering Clinical Trial. 
(vii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Galapagos has Initiated one or more Phase 2 Clinical Trials for the same indication for a Galapagos Molecule or Galapagos Product in a Galapagos Program and proposes to Initiate a Phase 3 Clinical Trial prior to the completion of all such Phase 2 Clinical Trials, then Galapagos’ obligations to deliver a Qualifying Data Package and Gilead’s right to exercise its Option, in each case, with respect to such Galapagos Program shall be as set forth in this Section 8.2(b)(vii).  Galapagos shall deliver a Qualifying Data Package for the first such Phase 2 Clinical Trial that constitutes a Triggering Clinical Trial and the JSC shall make its determination of whether such Phase 2 Clinical Trial constitutes a Triggering Clinical Trial, in accordance with Section 2.3(d).  Thereafter, within the Option Exercise Period for such Galapagos Program, Gilead may elect one of the following: (A) deliver an Option Exercise Notice, (B) notify Galapagos that Gilead does not intend to exercise the Option for such Galapagos Program or (C) [...***...].  If Gilead delivers an Option Exercise Notice or notifies Galapagos that Gilead declines to exercise such Option, [...***...].  If Gilead notifies Galapagos [...***...], then the Option Exercise Period shall end upon the earliest to occur of (w) [...***...], (x) [...***...], (y) [...***...] and (z) [...***...].  [...***...], Galapagos shall deliver a Qualifying Data Package for each Phase 2 Clinical Trial that reaches its Completion Date no later than [...***...] days after each such Completion Date, [...***...], Gilead may deliver an Option Exercise Notice or decline to exercise 


31

its Option, in each case, for such Galapagos Program. [...***...], Gilead shall be responsible for [...***...] percent [...***...] and Galapagos shall be responsible for [...***...] percent [...***...]  of the costs of such Phase 3 Clinical Trial as if such costs were Research and Development Costs under Section 9.9(a) (without regard to Section 9.9(c)).  If Gilead declines to exercise such Option or fails to timely deliver its Option Exercise Notice, such Galapagos Program shall be an Excluded Program.
(viii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with no further action or consent required on the part of either Party or any Committee, the ADAMTS-5 Existing Trial shall be deemed the Triggering Clinical Trial for the ADAMTS-5 Program, and the applicable Option Exercise Period shall commence, in accordance with this Section 8.2(b), upon the later of the Effective Date and the Completion Date of such ADAMTS-5 Existing Trial; provided that if another Clinical Trial meeting the criteria of a Triggering Clinical Trial reaches its Completion Date with respect to the ADAMTS-5 Program before the ADAMTS-5 Existing Trial reaches its Completion Date, then such other Clinical Trial shall be treated as the Triggering Clinical Trial with respect to the ADAMTS-5 Program.
(c)    Option Exercise Closing.  
(i)    If Gilead delivers an Option Exercise Notice for a Galapagos Program during the Option Exercise Period for such Galapagos Program in accordance with Section 8.2(b)(i), subject to Section 8.2(c)(v), such Galapagos Program shall become an Optioned Program at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on the later of the [...***...] Business Day following (A) Galapagos’ receipt of such Option Exercise Notice or (B) if any Antitrust Conditions apply to the Option for such Galapagos Program, the date Gilead notifies Galapagos pursuant to Section 8.2(d) that the Antitrust Conditions applicable to the Option for such Galapagos Program have been satisfied (with respect to each such Galapagos Program, an “Option Exercise Closing”).  To the extent permitted by applicable Antitrust Laws, and subject to Section 8.2(c)(v), if the Antitrust Approvals have been obtained for [...***...] with respect to a Galapagos Program, then (1) an Option Exercise Closing for such Galapagos Program shall occur for [...***...] and each other jurisdiction in the Territory as to which Antitrust Approval is not required or has been obtained (such Option Exercise Closing, the “Initial Option Closing”) and (2) subject to Section 8.2(e), the countries for which an Antitrust Approval is still required as of the Initial Option Closing (or any subsequent Option Exercise Closing for such Optioned Program) shall remain part of the Galapagos Territory unless and until the applicable required Antitrust Approval has been obtained.  Upon each notice of receipt of any such subsequent Antitrust Approval for such Optioned Program, there shall occur an additional Option Exercise Closing for such Optioned Program with respect to the applicable jurisdictions.   
(ii)    With respect to each Galapagos Program for which Gilead delivers an Option Exercise Notice during the applicable Option Exercise Period, except as set forth in the initial Galapagos Option Schedule of Exceptions (which Galapagos shall deliver together with the Qualifying Data Package) for such Galapagos Program and subject to Section 8.2(c)(iii), the Galapagos Option Exercise Representations for such Galapagos Program shall be made (A) subject to the initial Galapagos Option Schedule of Exceptions, as of the date that the JSC determines, pursuant to Section 1.1(b)(ii) [...***...] that the data package delivered for such Galapagos Program constitutes a Qualifying Data Package and (B) subject to the updated Galapagos Option Schedule of Exceptions, as of the date of the Initial Option Closing for such Galapagos Program (an “Option Bringdown Date”).  
(iii)    With respect to each Galapagos Program for which Gilead delivers an Option Exercise Notice during the applicable Option Exercise Period, prior to each applicable Option Exercise Closing for such Galapagos Program, Galapagos shall promptly notify Gilead in writing if any of the Galapagos Option Exercise Representations for such Galapagos Program are no longer [...***...] and may

(iv)    With respect to each Galapagos Program for which Gilead delivers an Option Exercise Notice during the applicable Option Exercise Period, prior to each applicable Option Exercise Closing for such Galapagos Program, Gilead shall provide Galapagos with an updated list of any Gilead Programs with respect to such Galapagos Program.  
(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time after delivery of an Option Exercise Notice for a Galapagos Program and before the Initial Option Closing for such Galapagos Program, Galapagos notifies Gilead, or Gilead otherwise becomes aware, of facts or circumstances that would cause any of the Galapagos Option Exercise Representations to be [...***...] with respect to such Galapagos Program in a manner that reduces the full scope of rights that would have been granted to Gilead upon such Option Exercise Closing absent [...***...], then Gilead may [...***...].  If, after becoming aware of facts or circumstances that would cause any of the Galapagos Option Exercise Representations to be [...***...] with respect to such Galapagos Program, Gilead nevertheless decides not to [...***...] for such Galapagos Program, neither Galapagos nor its Affiliates shall have any liability to Gilead for damages arising from such [...***...] after such notification by Galapagos or awareness of Gilead; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict, limit or change in any manner Gilead’s remedies arising from any breach of covenant by Galapagos or any of its Affiliates that gave rise to such [...***...] if Gilead [...***...]. 
(vi)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with no further action or consent required on the part of either Party or any Committee pursuant to ARTICLE I, Gilead’s Option with respect to the Autotaxin Program shall be deemed exercised as of the Effective Date, and the Effective Date shall be deemed the Initial Option Closing for the Autotaxin Program.  
(d)    Antitrust Filing. 
(i)    With respect to each Galapagos Program for which Gilead delivers an Option Exercise Notice during the applicable Option Exercise Period (or prior to the applicable Option Exercise Period pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(iv)), upon either Party’s request, the Parties shall work together in good faith to conduct an analysis of whether any Antitrust Filings are or may be required in connection with a proposed Option Exercise Closing with respect to such Galapagos Program. 
(ii)    With respect to each Galapagos Program for which Gilead delivers an Option Exercise Notice during the applicable Option Exercise Period (or prior to the applicable Option Exercise Period pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(iv)), following delivery of such Option Exercise Notice, both Parties shall file their respective Antitrust Filings as promptly as practicable with each applicable Antitrust Authority pursuant to any applicable Antitrust Laws, and in any event, with respect to notification and report forms filed with the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) pursuant to the HSR Act, if any, the Parties shall make such filings no later than [...***...] Business Days after such delivery of the Option Exercise Notice.  Each Party will be responsible for its own costs and expenses associated with any Antitrust Filing, but Gilead shall be responsible for payment of all fees to the FTC and DOJ with respect to Antitrust Filings made pursuant to the HSR Act.  The Parties shall provide each other promptly with information and assistance as may be reasonably necessary and use reasonable efforts, in each case, to obtain prompt clearance required under applicable Antitrust Laws for the consummation of the applicable Option Exercise Closing and the transactions contemplated thereby and shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information

(e)    No Effective Option Exercise Closing.  
(i)    With respect to each Galapagos Program for which Gilead delivers an Option Exercise Notice during the applicable Option Exercise Period (or prior to the applicable Option Exercise Period pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(iv)) (during which period Galapagos can continue to conduct such Galapagos Program), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.2(d), if within [...***...] days after the date on which both Parties have made the necessary initial Antitrust Filings in the applicable country(ies) with respect to such Galapagos Program, the Initial Option Closing has not occurred, then either Party may notify the other Party that it is terminating the Option relating to such Galapagos Program, and unless the non-notifying Party responds within [...***...] Business Days to the notifying Party, providing evidence that it is using reasonable efforts to secure the necessary Antitrust Approvals in the applicable jurisdictions (including in response to any additional request from Antitrust Authorities), such termination of the Option for such Galapagos Program shall occur at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on such [...***...] Business Day, at which time such Galapagos Program shall become an Excluded Program.  If the non-notifying Party responds within such [...***...] Business Day period with such evidence, then either Party may notify the other Party that it is terminating the Option relating to such Galapagos Program if the Initial Option Closing has not occurred by 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on the [...***...] day after the date on which both Parties have made such necessary initial Antitrust Filings, and such termination of the Option for such Galapagos Program shall occur at 12:01 a.m. Pacific time on [...***...]. 
(ii)    With respect to each Optioned Program for which one (1) or more required Antitrust Approvals were not obtained pursuant to Section 8.2(e)(i), then each such country shall remain part of the Galapagos Territory for so long as such Optioned Program remains subject to this Agreement.

If Galapagos does not make such request within [...***...] days of such notice, then Gilead shall have the right to proceed with such license, sale or other grant or transfer.  For clarity, such right to license, sell or otherwise grant or transfer its rights to Commercialize under this Agreement shall not confer on Gilead any expanded or additional right to assign all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 17.6(a).

Each payment of royalties due to Galapagos shall be accompanied by a statement, on a country-by-country basis, of the amount of gross sales of each Optioned Product in the Gilead Territory, during the applicable calendar quarter, a calculation of Net Sales in the Gilead Territory with respect to each Optioned Product showing with reasonable specificity the aggregate deductions from gross sales provided for in the definition of Net Sales during such calendar quarter, and a calculation of the amount of royalty payment due on such sales for such calendar quarter, in all cases, reported in Dollars as determined in accordance with Section 9.13.
9.6    Payments to Third Parties.
(a)    Negotiation of Post-Option In-Licenses.  
(i)    For each Optioned Program, if either Party desires to obtain a license under any Patent or any intellectual property right of a Third Party in any country to Exploit an applicable Optioned Product in such country, then, at such Party’s request, the Parties shall meet and discuss whether to enter into a license agreement to obtain rights to such Patent or intellectual property right for the Exploitation of such Optioned Product in one (1) or more countries in the Territory and if so, the terms of such license agreement and which Party should obtain such license agreement.  If the Parties agree to enter into such a license agreement, then the Party that the Parties agree should obtain such license agreement shall enter into such license agreement on the terms agreed by the Parties (such license agreement, a “Joint Post-Option In-License”).
(ii)    If the Parties do not agree to obtain a Joint Post-Option In-License with respect to any Patent or any intellectual property right of a Third Party in any country, then either Party may enter into a license agreement with such Third Party for rights under such Patent or intellectual property without the approval of the other Party (such license agreement, an “Independent Post-Option In-License”); provided that such Independent Post-Option In-License shall not impose any obligations on the other Party or preclude the other Party from negotiating such a license for its Respective Territory.  Neither Party may enter into an Independent Post-Option In-License without first discussing such in-license agreement with the other Party. 
(b)    Responsibility for Payments.  
(i)    “Third Party License Payments” means, with respect to a license agreement with a Third Party for rights under such Third Party’s Patent or other intellectual property, all license fees, milestones, royalties or other payments due to such Third Party under such license agreement.

In determining the reasonable allocation in foregoing clauses (C) and (D), the Parties shall take into account [...***...].
(v)    Independent Post-Option In-Licenses.  With respect to each Independent Post-Option In-License, subject to (A) Section 9.6(b)(vi) if Gilead or any of its Affiliates is a party to such Independent Post-Option In-License or (B) the terms of any Clinical Supply Agreement or Commercial Supply Agreement for which the Party that is a party to such Independent Post-Option In-License (or one of its Affiliates) is the supplying the Party, the Party that is a party to such Independent Post-Option In-License shall be responsible for the Third Party License Payments thereunder.  
(vi)    Gilead Deduction.  With respect to any Third Party License Payments for an Optioned Product in the Gilead Territory (other than any Independent Post-Option In-License with respect to any improvement or enhancement to such Optioned Product in the Gilead Territory that is not being Developed or Commercialized in the Galapagos Territory) for which Gilead is solely responsible (i.e., for which Galapagos is not also sharing costs pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 9.6), Gilead shall have the right to offset [...***...] percent [...***...]  of such Third Party License Payments against any royalties or milestone payments owed to Galapagos under this Agreement with respect to such Optioned Product; provided that any such amount that cannot be applied to offset amounts due to Galapagos for any calendar quarter may be carried forward to be applied in the subsequent calendar quarter.  
(vii)    Payment Process.  With respect to any Third Party License Payments not shared as Research and Development Costs (and therefore handled through the process in Section 9.9), on a quarterly basis, the Party initially bearing the Third Party License Payments shall invoice the other Party for such amount as is necessary to effectuate the responsibility for Third Party License Payments as set forth in this Section 9.6.  The Party receiving such invoice shall pay it not later than [...***...] days following receipt thereof.
9.7    Following Royalty Term.  Upon expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to an Optioned Product in a country, each Party’s licenses from the other Party hereunder with respect to such Optioned Product, in such country, shall become fully paid-up, non-exclusive, perpetual, and irrevocable.  
9.8    Veterinary Products.  Neither Party, nor any of its Affiliates, shall Exploit or grant any (sub)licenses to any Third Party to Exploit any Galapagos Product or Optioned Product for Veterinary Use without the prior written consent of the other Party.  With respect to Veterinary Use, unless set forth in a separate written agreement between the Parties, no research, development or commercialization costs and expenses are intended to be shared by the Parties and no milestones or royalties set forth herein shall apply to the Development or Commercialization of any Optioned Product for Veterinary Use.  
9.9    Optioned Program Research and Development Costs. 
(a)    Generally.  Subject to Section 9.9(b) and any other relevant terms in this Section 9.9, for each Optioned Program, the Parties shall share Research and Development Costs incurred by or on behalf of either Party or its Affiliates after the applicable Option Exercise Closing with respect to the countries relating to each Option Exercise Closing, as follows: Gilead shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) and Galapagos shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%).  Within [...***...] Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter, each Party shall provide to the other Party a report in reasonable detail of any Research and Development 


43


Option, License and Collaboration Agreement





Costs incurred by such Party in such calendar quarter for each Optioned Program, which may be based on such Party’s good faith estimate.  Such Research and Development Costs so reported  shall be used for the calculation of the 50/50 split for the Research and Development Costs (and for clarity, any adjustments made to such reported amounts shall be taken in the calendar quarter in which such adjustments are recorded).  Within [...***...] days following receipt of such report(s), for all Optioned Programs, the Party that incurred the higher aggregate Research and Development Costs for the applicable calendar quarter (across all Optioned Programs), shall invoice the other Party for one-half (1/2) of the difference between the Parties’ respective aggregate Research and Development Costs for the applicable calendar quarter (across all Optioned Programs).  The Party receiving such invoice shall pay it not later than [...***...] days following receipt thereof.  The Parties will further work together and reasonably take into account the internal and external reporting requirements and timelines of the other Party (i) when preparing reports pursuant to this ARTICLE IX to the other Party, (ii) when aligning the respective R&D Plan and Budget, Global Commercialization Plan and Budget and Global Manufacturing Plan and Budget for each Optioned Program and Third Party License Payments and (iii) during any other planning-related exercise. 
(b)    Permitted R&D Cost Overrun.  If in any calendar year the FTE Costs and out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by a Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with the activities allocated to such Party under the then-current R&D Plan and Budget exceeds the budget set forth in the then-current R&D Plan and Budget for such activities during such calendar year, then, if and to the extent that any such overspend (i) does not exceed [...***...] percent [...***...]  of the budgeted costs and expenses set forth in the R&D Plan and Budget for such activities for such calendar year or (ii) is otherwise approved by the Parties, such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed (a “Permitted R&D Cost Overrun”), then such Permitted R&D Cost Overrun shall be included in Research and Development Costs and shared by the Parties pursuant to Section 9.9(a).  To the extent that any overspend exceeds [...***...] percent [...***...]  of the budgeted costs and expenses set forth in the R&D Plan and Budget for such activities for such calendar year and was not otherwise approved by the Parties in writing, then such overspend shall not constitute Research and Development Costs in such calendar year and shall be borne by the Party incurring the same.  The FTE Costs and out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Galapagos or its Affiliates prior to the date the JSC approves the R&D Plan and Budget for the Autotaxin Program shall not count towards a Permitted R&D Cost Overrun.  
(c)    Post-Approval Commitments and Phase 4 Clinical Trials.  
(i)    Mutual Post-Approval Commitments.  For each Optioned Program, any Research and Development Costs incurred by or on behalf of either Party or its Affiliates in fulfilling any Mutual Post-Approval Commitment (including in conducting any Requested or Required Phase 4 Clinical Trial to fulfill a Mutual Post-Approval Commitment) shall be included in the R&D Plan and Budget and the Research and Development Costs reported to the other Party and split by the Parties in accordance with Section 9.9(a).  For clarity, any dispute regarding Mutual Post-Approval Commitments shall be subject to the same dispute resolution process generally applicable to the R&D Plan and Budget for such Optioned Program to which the Mutual Post-Approval Commitments relate.  In the event of a Mutual Post-Approval Commitment arising from Regulatory Authorities in a non- Major Market, the Parties may discuss in good faith the impact of performing such Mutual Post-Approval Commitments on activities relating to the applicable Optioned Program in their Respective Territories.  
(ii)    Other Post-Approval Commitments and Phase 4 Clinical Trials.  For each Optioned Program, any Research and Development Costs incurred by or on behalf of either Party or its Affiliates in (A) fulfilling any post-approval commitment other than a Mutual Post-Approval Commitment or (B) conducting any Phase 4 Clinical Trial that is not conducted to fulfill a Mutual Post-Approval Commitment, in each case ((A) and (B)), shall be excluded from the Research and Development Costs reported to the other

Party pursuant to Section 9.9(a) and shall be borne by the Party conducting such activity, unless included in the R&D Plan and Budget or otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing.  
(d)    Phase 3 Triggering Clinical Trial.  With respect to each Optioned Program for which the Triggering Clinical Trial is a Phase 3 Clinical Trial, if such Triggering Clinical Trial has reached its Completion Date, then Gilead shall pay to Galapagos an amount equal to the sum of (i) [...***...] percent [...***...]  of the costs and expenses Gilead would have borne had such Triggering Clinical Trial been included in an R&D Plan and Budget and (ii) [...***...].  Such payment shall be made to Galapagos within [...***...] days after receipt of an invoice with respect thereto, which invoice must be accompanied by a report in reasonable detail of such FTE Costs and out-of-pocket costs and expenses.
(e)    Delayed Initial Option Closing.   If the Initial Option Closing for a Galapagos Program has not occurred within [...***...] days after the date on which both Parties have made the necessary initial Antitrust Filings in the applicable country(ies) as set forth in Section 8.2(e), and such Initial Option Closing subsequently occurs, then Gilead shall be responsible for [...***...] percent [...***...]  of the Research and Development Costs incurred for such Optioned Program beginning on the [...***...] day after the date on which both Parties have made the necessary initial Antitrust Filings in the applicable country(ies) in accordance with Section 9.9(a).  Galapagos shall include any such costs in the invoices provided pursuant to Section 9.9(a).  
9.10    Shared Commercialization Costs.  
(a)    For each Optioned Program, the Parties shall share the Shared Commercialization Costs incurred by or on behalf of either Party or its Affiliates after the applicable Option Exercise Closing with respect to the countries relating to each Option Exercise Closing, as follows: Gilead shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) and Galapagos shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%).  Within [...***...] Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter, each Party shall provide to the other Party a report in reasonable detail of any Shared Commercialization Costs incurred by such Party in such calendar quarter for each Optioned Program, which report may be based on such Party’s good faith estimate.  Such Shared Commercialization Costs so reported shall be used for the calculation of the 50/50 split for the Shared Commercialization Costs.   Within [...***...] days following receipt of such report(s), for all Optioned Programs, the Party that incurred the higher aggregate Shared Commercialization Costs for the applicable period (across all Optioned Programs), shall invoice the other Party for one-half (1/2) of the difference between the Parties’ respective aggregate Shared Commercialization Costs for the applicable period (across all Optioned Programs).  The Party receiving such invoice shall pay it not later than [...***...] days following receipt thereof.
(b)    If in any calendar year the Shared Commercialization Costs incurred by a Party exceed the budget set forth in the then-current Global Commercialization Plan and Budget for the activities allocated to it thereunder during such calendar year, then, if and to the extent that any such overspend (i) does not exceed [...***...] percent [...***...]  of the budgeted costs and expenses set forth in the Global Commercialization Plan and Budget for such activities for such calendar year, or (ii) is otherwise approved by the Parties, such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed (a “Permitted Commercialization Overrun”), then such Permitted Commercialization Overrun shall be included in Shared Commercialization Costs and shared by the Parties pursuant to Section 9.10(a).  To the extent that any overspend exceeds [...***...] percent [...***...]  of the budgeted costs and expenses set forth in the Global Commercialization Plan and Budget for such activities in such calendar year and was not otherwise approved by the Parties, then such overspend shall not constitute Shared Commercialization Costs in such calendar year and shall be borne by the Party incurring the same.

Option, License and Collaboration Agreement





(a)    For each Optioned Program, with respect to any Patent Costs to be [...***...] pursuant to ARTICLE X (the “Shared Patent Costs”), the Parties shall share such Shared Patent Costs as follows: Gilead shall be responsible for [...***...] percent [...***...]  and Galapagos shall be responsible for [...***...] percent [...***...].  Within [...***...] Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter, each Party shall provide to the other Party a report in reasonable detail of any Shared Patent Costs incurred by such Party in such calendar quarter for each Optioned Program, which may be based on such Party’s good faith estimate.  Such Shared Patent Costs so reported shall be used for the calculation of the [...***...] the Shared Patent Costs.  Within [...***...] days following receipt of such report(s), the Party that incurred the higher aggregate Shared Patent Costs for the applicable period shall invoice the other Party for [...***...] of the difference between the Parties’ respective aggregate Shared Patent Costs for the applicable period.  The Party receiving such invoice shall pay it not later than [...***...] days following receipt thereof. 
(b)    If Gilead requests that Galapagos incur Patent Costs with respect to a Galapagos Program and Galapagos agrees to incur such Patent Costs, then Section 9.11(a) shall apply to such Patent Costs as if such Patent Costs were Shared Patent Costs relating to an Optioned Program. 
9.12    Taxes. 
(a)    Taxes on Income.  Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all Taxes imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the collaborative efforts of the Parties under this Agreement.
(b)    Tax Cooperation.  The Parties shall cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to mitigate or reduce Tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of royalties, milestone payments, and other payments made between the Parties under this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party shall provide the other with any Tax forms and other information that may be reasonably necessary in order to eliminate or reduce withholding based on an applicable treaty.  Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Law, of withholding Taxes, VAT, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding Tax or VAT.
(c)    VAT. It is understood and agreed between the Parties that any payments made by Gilead under this Agreement are exclusive of any value added tax (“VAT”) or similar Tax imposed upon such payments. Where VAT is properly added to a payment made under this Agreement, Gilead will pay the amount of VAT only on receipt of a valid Tax invoice issued in accordance with Applicable Law. 
(d)    Payment of Tax.  To the extent Gilead is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold Taxes on any payment to Galapagos, Gilead shall pay the amounts of such Taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner; provided that Gilead must provide Galapagos with at least [...***...] days’ notice of the applicability of any withholding Tax with respect to such payment, and Gilead and Galapagos shall [...***...] work together during such [...***...] day period to eliminate or reduce such withholding.

10.10    Confirmatory Licenses.  Each Party shall, if so requested by the other Party, promptly enter into confirmatory license agreements, in a form consistent with the terms of this Agreement and reasonably acceptable to the Parties, for purposes of recording the licenses granted under this Agreement with any applicable Patent offices or other Governmental Authorities.

(a)    Title; Encumbrances. Galapagos or one of its Affiliates solely owns or exclusively licenses and Controls the Existing Galapagos Patents relating to any Galapagos Program, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not constitute a representation or warranty of non-infringement of a Third Party’s intellectual property rights.  Galapagos or one of its Affiliates has the right to grant the licenses to Gilead as purported to be granted pursuant to this Agreement.  Neither Galapagos nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any agreement (other than agreements with subcontractors) granting any right, interest or claim in or to, any Existing Galapagos Patents or Galapagos Know-How to any Third Party that would conflict with the rights and licenses to Gilead as purported to be granted pursuant to this Agreement.   
(b)    Assignment of Rights.  Each Person who has or has had any rights in or to any Existing Galapagos Patents or any material Galapagos Know-How has assigned and has executed an agreement assigning its entire right, title and interest in and to such Existing Galapagos Patents and Galapagos Know-How to Galapagos or one of its Affiliates.  To Galapagos’ Knowledge, no current officer, employee, agent, or consultant of Galapagos or any of its Affiliates is in violation of any term of any assignment or other agreement regarding the protection of Patents or other intellectual property or proprietary information of Galapagos or such Affiliate or of any employment contract relating to the relationship of any such Person with Galapagos.
(c)    Patents.  All Existing Galapagos Patents are identified in Section 11.2(c) of the Galapagos Schedule of Exceptions.  All Existing Galapagos Patents are subsisting and are being diligently prosecuted in the patent offices indicated in Section 11.2(c) of the Galapagos Schedule of Exceptions  in accordance with Applicable Law and to Galapagos’ Knowledge are not invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.  All applicable fees with respect thereto have been timely paid or will be timely paid (taking account of any permitted extensions).  The Existing Galapagos Patents in Section 11.2(c) of the Galapagos Schedule of Exceptions  represent all Patents within Galapagos’ or its Affiliates’ ownership or control (by license or otherwise) that Galapagos reasonably believes include claims covering the making, using or composition of matter of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products, or the Exploitation of any such Galapagos Molecule or Galapagos Product.   To the extent required, Galapagos or one of its Affiliates has properly recorded in the relevant U.S. and foreign patent offices the assignments, or other necessary documents, supporting its legal title to the Existing Galapagos Patents in Section 11.2(c) of the Galapagos Schedule of Exceptions.  Galapagos and its Affiliates have presented, or will present prior to the pertinent patent office deadlines, all relevant references, documents or information of which they and the inventors are aware to the relevant patent examiner at the pertinent patent office, in connection with the prosecution of the pending patent applications included in the Existing Galapagos Patents.
(d)    No Infringement.  To Galapagos’ Knowledge, no Person is infringing or threatening to infringe or misappropriating or threatening to misappropriate any Existing Galapagos Patents or any Galapagos Know-How or Regulatory Documentation.  To Galapagos’ Knowledge, there are no activities by

(e)    No Conflicts.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Galapagos does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, (i) except for the rights granted to Gilead in this Agreement, result in the creation of any encumbrance on any of the material properties or assets relating to any Galapagos Program, or (ii) conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, or require any consent, approval or waiver from any Person pursuant to (A) any provision of the organizational or governing documents of Galapagos, in each case as amended to date, or (B) any material agreement applicable to Galapagos’ or any of its Affiliates’ material properties or assets relating to the Autotaxin Program or the ADAMTS-5 Program or any other Galapagos Program. 
(f)    In-Licenses and Restrictions on Business Activities.  None of the Existing Galapagos Patents licensed hereunder by Galapagos to Gilead are owned or controlled in whole or in part by any Third Party.  There is no agreement, judgment, injunction, order or decree of a Governmental Authority binding upon Galapagos or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Galapagos Program that has or would reasonably be expected to have, whether before or after the Effective Date, the effect of prohibiting or impairing any current or presently proposed business practice of Galapagos or any of its Affiliates or the conduct of business by Galapagos or any of its Affiliates as currently conducted or as presently proposed to be conducted by Galapagos or any of its Affiliates for such Galapagos Program. 
(g)    Copyrightable IP.

(h)    Transfer of Rights.  Galapagos or one of its Affiliates has obtained the right (including under any Patents and other intellectual property rights) to use all Information and all other materials (including any formulations and manufacturing processes and procedures) developed or delivered by any Third Party under any agreements between Galapagos or one of its Affiliates and any such Third Party with respect to any Galapagos Program to the extent necessary to provide Gilead with the rights granted to it hereunder, and Galapagos or one of its Affiliates has the rights under each such agreement to transfer such Information or other materials to Gilead and its designees and to grant Gilead the right to use such Information or other materials in the Development or Commercialization of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products in any Galapagos Program as required to enable Gilead to Exploit the Galapagos Molecules and the Galapagos Products in the Gilead Territory.  
(i)    Confidentiality of Know-How.  With respect to those portions of the Galapagos Know-How the confidentiality of which is material to the Exploitation of any Significant Pre-Program Activities, 


62


Option, License and Collaboration Agreement





Galapagos Molecule or Galapagos Product, such portions of the Galapagos Know-How have been kept confidential or have been disclosed to Third Parties only under terms of confidentiality or if published or otherwise publicly disclosed, were published or publicly disclosed in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to adversely impact the patentability of such Galapagos Know-How.

(i)    No claim or litigation has been brought or threatened in writing by any Person against Galapagos or any of its Affiliates alleging, and Galapagos has no Knowledge of any reasonable basis for any such claim or allegation, whether or not asserted, that (A) any Existing Galapagos Patents are invalid or unenforceable, or (B) that the use or practice of any Existing Galapagos Patents or any Regulatory Materials or Galapagos Know-How, or the disclosing, copying, making, assigning or licensing of any Existing Galapagos Patents or any such Regulatory Materials or Galapagos Know-How, or the Development, Commercialization or other Exploitation of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products included in any Galapagos Program as contemplated herein or Significant Pre-Program Activities, does or will violate, infringe, misappropriate or otherwise conflict or interfere with, any Patent or other intellectual property or proprietary right of any Third Party.
(ii)    There is no private or Governmental Authority action, suit, proceeding, claim, mediation, arbitration or investigation pending before any Governmental Authority, or, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, threatened against Galapagos or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective assets or properties relating to any of its or their Pre-Program Activities or Galapagos Programs or, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, any of their respective directors, managers, officers or employees (in their capacities as such or relating to their employment, services or relationship with Galapagos or any of its Affiliates), nor, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, is there any reasonable basis for any such action, suit, proceeding, claim, mediation, arbitration or investigation.  There is no judgment, decree, injunction or order against Galapagos or any of its Affiliates, or, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, any of its or their respective assets or properties, relating to any Pre-Program Activities or Galapagos Programs or, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, any of their respective directors, managers, officers or employees (in their capacities as such or relating to their employment, services or relationship with Galapagos or any of its Affiliates).  Neither Galapagos nor any of its Affiliates has any action, suit, proceeding, claim, mediation, arbitration or investigation pending against any other Person relating to any of its Pre-Program Activities or Galapagos Programs.
(k)    No Misappropriation.  The conception and reduction to practice of any inventions and the use or development of any other Information within the Galapagos IP (i) owned by Galapagos have not constituted or involved the misappropriation of trade secrets or other rights or property of any Third Party and (ii) in-licensed by Galapagos, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, have not constituted or involved the misappropriation of trade secrets or other rights or property of any Third Party; provided, however, that the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not constitute a representation or warranty of non-infringement of a Third Party’s intellectual property rights.
(l)    Full Disclosure.  Galapagos has provided or made available to Gilead all material adverse information with respect to the safety and efficacy of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products relating to the ADAMTS-5 Program and the Autotaxin Program.

12.3    Indemnification Procedures.  All indemnification claims with respect to a Gilead Indemnitee or Galapagos Indemnitee shall be made solely by Gilead or Galapagos, as applicable.

The Indemnifying Party’s obligations to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless pursuant to Section 12.1 or 12.2, as applicable, shall be reduced to the extent the Indemnified Party’s delay in providing notification pursuant to the previous sentence results in prejudice to the Indemnifying Party.  At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim for which indemnity is being sought by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [...***...] days after receipt of the notice of the Third Party Claim.  The assumption of defense of a Third Party Claim shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification.  The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable assistance, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim.  The Indemnified Party may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s  right to assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice.  If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, then (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third Party Claim (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with the Indemnifying Party in 


70


Option, License and Collaboration Agreement





connection therewith), and (b) the Indemnified Party reserves any rights it may have under this ARTICLE XII to obtain indemnification from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.  The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible.

12.4    Shared Development Losses.  
(a)    The Parties shall share equally any Losses incurred by any Gilead Indemnitee or Galapagos Indemnitee (collectively, “Party Indemnitees”) to the extent resulting from Third Party Claims against any such Party Indemnitee that arise from or are based on the performance of any activities under an R&D Plan and Budget with respect to which Research and Development Costs are shared equally by the Parties, to the extent (i) not arising from or based on the events described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (g), and (h) of Section 12.1 or clauses (a), (b), (c), (e), (f), and (g) of Section 12.2 or (ii) not otherwise provided in Section 10.6 (any such Losses, “Shared Development Losses” and any such Third Party Claims, “Shared Development Claims”).  If either Party receives notice of any Shared Development Claim, such Party shall inform the other Party in writing as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Parties shall discuss a strategy for defending such Shared Development Claim.  For clarity, this Section 12.4 is not intended, and shall not be construed, to alter either Party’s liability under Section 12.1(d) or Section 12.2(d) (as applicable) for any Losses that arise from or are based on any commercially sold Optioned Product.
(b)    At its option, Gilead may assume the defense of any Shared Development Claim by giving written notice to Galapagos within [...***...] days after the notice of the Shared Development Claim.  If Gilead does not assume and conduct the defense of a Shared Development Claim as provided in the preceding sentence, then Galapagos may defend against such Shared Development Claim.  The non-defending Party shall provide the defending Party with reasonable assistance in connection with the defense of any Shared Development Claim.  The non-defending Party may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing. subject to the defending Party’s right to assume and conduct the defense of the Shared Development Claim with counsel of its choice.  Neither Party shall settle any Shared Development Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  
12.5    Limitation of Liability.  NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING FOR LOSS OF PROFITS SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TORT CLAIMS ARISING HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Each policy shall name the other Party as an additional insured with respect to liability arising from premises rented or owned and liability arising from all ongoing operations.  Such insurance may be provided on a claims-made basis; provided, however, that such insurance shall have a retroactive date prior to the date that any activities will be performed pursuant to this Agreement, and shall be maintained (or shall have an extended reporting period) of at least [...***...] years after the effective date of termination of this Agreement.

14.3    Termination by Gilead at Will or by Galapagos Under Section 5.1.  
(a)    Termination by Gilead at Will.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the termination for material breach is solely with respect to one or more countries other than the United States but not all countries, then for such Galapagos Program or Optioned Program, as the case may be, the Gilead Territory shall no longer include such country or countries and in lieu of termination of this Agreement under this Section 14.4(a)(i), such country or countries shall become part of the Galapagos Territory and a transition analogous to the transition described in Section 14.7 shall be conducted.

Without limitation to the foregoing, in lieu of Gilead’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.4(a)(ii) with respect to any Galapagos Program or Optioned Program, Gilead shall have the right to elect (as its sole remedy for such breach), in its written notice to Galapagos identifying the applicable material breach, to (1) maintain the effectiveness of this Agreement with respect to such Galapagos Program or Optioned Program and (2) reduce by [...***...] percent [...***...] any amounts payable to Galapagos under ARTICLE IX with respect to such Galapagos Program (if and when it becomes an Optioned Program) or Optioned Program (in each case, including with respect to all Galapagos Molecules, Galapagos Products, Optioned Molecules and Optioned Products included in such Galapagos Program or Optioned Program, as the case may be); provided that (x) any such proposed reduction shall not become effective if Galapagos cures the breach specified in such notice during the applicable notice period or during an additional [...***...]-day period thereafter and (y) such reduction shall terminate and Gilead shall again be responsible for the full amounts payable to Galapagos under ARTICLE IX at such time as [...***...].

If any such agreement is not assignable to Galapagos (whether by such agreement’s terms or because such agreement does not solely and specifically relate to the supply or sale of the applicable Reversion Product(s) with respect to the applicable Terminated Region(s)) but is otherwise reasonably necessary or useful for Galapagos to Develop, Manufacture or Commercialize any such Reversion Product(s) with respect to the applicable Terminated Region(s), then Gilead shall reasonably cooperate with Galapagos in Galapagos’ efforts to obtain from such Third Party the assignment of such agreement or of that portion of such agreement that solely and specifically relates to the supply or sale of such Reversion Product(s) with respect to the applicable Terminated Region(s).  With respect to any applicable Reversion Product(s) and the applicable Terminated Region(s), unless and until any such agreements are assigned to Galapagos pursuant to the preceding sentences, or if Gilead Manufactures such Reversion Product(s) itself (and thus there is no agreement to assign), the Transition Agreement shall require Gilead to supply bulk finished quantities of such Reversion Product(s) to Galapagos with respect to the applicable Terminated Region(s) for a reasonable period following the effective date of termination (not to exceed [...***...] months) to enable Galapagos to establish an alternate, validated source of supply for such Reversion Product(s).  The cost to Galapagos for supply of any such Reversion Product shall be [...***...].  
(B)    Regulatory Materials.  The Transition Agreement shall require Gilead to transfer and assign to Galapagos [...***...], that relate to any applicable Reversion Product(s) in or for the benefit of the applicable Terminated Region(s).  The Transition Agreement shall contain terms governing the coordination of any ongoing regulatory responsibilities with respect to such Reversion Product(s) that are required under Applicable Law to be conducted by Gilead with respect to the applicable Terminated Region(s). 
(v)    Third Party Agreements.  To the extent that any payments would be owed by Gilead or any of its Affiliates to any Third Party (including royalties, milestones and other amounts) under any Third Party agreements that are applicable to the grant to Galapagos of any (sub)license, right of reference or other right provided in this Section 14.7 or any Transition Agreement, or that are applicable to the exercise by Galapagos or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees of any sublicense or other right with respect thereto, Gilead shall notify Galapagos of the existence and anticipated amounts of such payments and Galapagos shall have the right either to decline such (sub)license, right of reference or other right provided in this Section 14.7 or such Transition Agreement or to accept the same, in which case Galapagos shall (A) comply with any obligation under any such Third Party agreement that apply to Galapagos (provided that Gilead has notified Galapagos of such obligation in writing) and (B) be responsible for any such payments.
(vi)    Remaining Inventories.
(A)    Gilead shall be entitled, during the [...***...] days following termination of this Agreement with respect to any Terminated Product(s) and Terminated Region(s), to finish any work-in-progress and to sell in the applicable Terminated Region(s) any inventory of Terminated Product(s) that remains on hand as of the effective date of such termination.  Gilead shall pay Galapagos the royalties applicable to such sales in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Option, License and Collaboration Agreement





(B)    At any time within [...***...] days after the effective date of termination of this Agreement with respect to any Terminated Product(s) and Terminated Region(s), Galapagos shall have the right, upon written notice to Gilead, to purchase from Gilead any or all of the inventory of Reversion Product(s) held by Gilead with respect to any such Terminated Region(s) as of the date of such notice solely for distribution in the applicable Terminated Region(s) and other countries in the Galapagos Territory and not for distribution in the remainder of the Gilead Territory (which inventory of Reversion Product(s) is not committed to be supplied to any Third Party as of such date) at a price equal to [...***...]. 
14.8    Other Remedies.  Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability or obligation that already has accrued prior to such expiration or termination, nor affect the survival of any provision hereof to the extent it is expressly stated to survive such termination.  Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise be deemed to prejudice or adversely affect, any rights, remedies or claims, whether for damages or otherwise, that a Party may have hereunder or that may arise out of or in connection with such termination or expiration.  
14.9    Rights in Bankruptcy.  All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Galapagos and Gilead are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code.  The Parties agree that each Party, as licensee of certain rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party (such Party, the “Bankrupt Party”) under the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code, the other Party shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any intellectual property licensed to such other Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in such other Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon such other Party’s written request therefor, unless the Bankrupt Party elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (b) if not delivered under clause (a), following the rejection of this Agreement by the Bankrupt Party upon written request therefor by the other Party.  In the case of an Insolvency that is governed by non-U.S. bankruptcy law, the Parties agree that, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Insolvency law, the non-Bankrupt Party will be entitled to the same rights and protections afforded by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, including survival of the licenses granted hereunder even if the Bankrupt Party revokes or terminates this Agreement and a copy of the embodiments of such intellectual property, without conditions other than payment of any royalties due hereunder.  
14.10    Survival.  Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that have accrued prior to the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the following provisions shall survive and apply after expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety: ARTICLE XII, ARTICLE XIII, ARTICLE XV, ARTICLE XVII, and Sections 2.6(b), 2.6(d) (other than the last sentence), 4.2(b) (subject to Section 14.7(c) and the terms of any Transition Agreement, if applicable), 4.3, 7.4 (subject to Section 14.7(c) and the terms of any Transition Agreement, if applicable), 9.5, 9.6(b) (expiration only), 9.7 (expiration only), 9.12, 9.13, 9.14, 9.15, 9.16, 9.17, 10.1 (subject to Section 14.7(c) and the terms of any Transition Agreement, if applicable),  11.4, 14.7, 14.8, 14.9 and 14.10, and any applicable definitions of any capitalized terms, including those set forth in Appendix A; provided, however, that in case of termination pursuant to Section 14.2, only the provisions referenced in Section 16.5 and any applicable definitions of any capitalized terms, including those set forth in Appendix A, shall survive and apply.  In addition, except in case of termination pursuant to Section 14.2, the other applicable provisions of ARTICLE IX shall survive and apply to the extent required 


84


Option, License and Collaboration Agreement





to make final reimbursements, reconciliations or other payments incurred or accrued prior to the date of termination or expiration.  For any surviving provisions requiring action or decision by a Committee or an Executive Officer, each Party will appoint representatives to act as its Committee members or Executive Officer, as applicable.  All provisions not surviving in accordance with the foregoing shall terminate upon expiration or termination of this Agreement and be of no further force and effect.  If this Agreement is terminated with respect to one or more Terminated Regions but not in its entirety, then following such termination the foregoing provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the Terminated Regions (to the extent they would survive and apply in the event the Agreement expires or is terminated in its entirety), and all provisions not surviving in accordance with the foregoing shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement with respect to the applicable Terminated Region(s) and be of no further force and effect (and for the avoidance of doubt all provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to any countries that are not terminated). 

ARTICLE XV
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
15.1    Disputes.  
(a)    Generally.  It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation.  
(b)    Non-Committee Disputes.  In the event of any dispute that may arise between the Parties out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement (“Dispute”) that does not arise from a matter within the decision-making jurisdiction of a Committee (a “Non-Committee Dispute”), including any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, either Party may refer such Non-Committee Dispute to (i) with respect to any Non-Committee Dispute regarding Development or Commercialization, the Parties’ applicable Subject Matter Experts and (ii) with respect to any other Non-Committee Dispute, the Executive Officers of the Parties.  Following any such referral to Subject Matter Experts, such Subject Matter Experts shall attempt to reach consensus on such Non-Committee Dispute during a period of [...***...] Business Days, and any final decision agreed to in writing by the Subject Matter Experts with respect to such Non-Committee Dispute shall be binding on the Parties.  If such Subject Matter Experts cannot reach consensus on such Non-Committee Dispute within such period, then either Party may refer such Non-Committee Dispute to the Executive Officers of the Parties for resolution.  Following referral to the Executive Officers (either after referral to Subject Matter Experts or as an initial matter, as applicable), the Executive Officers shall attempt to reach consensus on such Non-Committee Dispute during a period of [...***...] Business Days thereafter, and any final decision agreed to in writing by the Executive Officers with respect to such Non-Committee Dispute shall be binding on the Parties.  If the Executive Officers cannot reach consensus on such Non-Committee Dispute within such period, then either Party may then invoke the applicable provisions of Section 15.2(a), Section 15.2(d) or Section 15.7, as applicable; provided, however, that with respect to any dispute that relates to Prosecution of the Galapagos Patents, such provisions shall not be invoked and rather be decided as specified in ARTICLE X. 
(c)    Committee Disputes.   In the event of a Dispute that arises from a Committee and is within the decision-making jurisdiction of such Committee (a “Committee Dispute”), the Parties shall first attempt to resolve such Committee Dispute pursuant to ARTICLE I, including Section 1.5.  If the Committee Dispute is not resolved pursuant to ARTICLE I, then such Committee Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 1.5 [...***...].

15.2    Arbitration.  
(a)    Arbitration of Non-Committee Disputes. With respect to any Non-Committee Dispute other than a Non-Committee Dispute covered by Section 15.2(d) or Section 15.7, either Party may, following the end of the [...***...] Business Day period referenced in Section 15.1(b), refer such Non-Committee Dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 15.2(c) by submitting a written notice of such request to the other Party.
(b)    Arbitration of Committee Disputes [...***...].

With respect to the arbitration of any Dispute under this Section 15.2(b), the following shall apply: (i) the Parties shall each choose their respective arbitrator pursuant to Section 15.2(c) within [...***...] Business Days after referring such Dispute for arbitration, and such arbitrators shall mutually agree upon the third arbitrator pursuant to Section 15.2(c) with [...***...] Business Days after their collective appointment, which arbitrators shall have expertise with respect to development in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries; (ii) the arbitrators must determine, as the only method to resolve such a Dispute, whether [...***...], (iii) within [...***...] Business Days after appointment of such third arbitrator, each Party shall deliver to the arbitrators and to the other Party a memorandum in support of its position; (iv) within [...***...] Business Days after the delivery of such memorandum, the Parties and arbitrators shall meet to discuss the Dispute; and (v) within [...***...] Business Days after such meeting, the arbitrators shall issue their determination with respect to such Dispute in accordance with Section 15.2(c).  If the arbitrators determine that [...***...], then the arbitrators shall set forth in writing [...***...].  If the arbitrators determine that [...***...], then the arbitrators shall set forth in writing [...***...].  
(c)    Arbitration Procedures.  For disputes referred to arbitration in accordance with Section 15.2(b), Section 15.2(b) shall control in the event of any conflict between this Section 15.2(b) and Section 15.2(c).  Any arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC Rules”) by three (3) arbitrators.  Each Party will select one arbitrator, and the two (2) arbitrators so selected by the Parties shall select the third arbitrator.  The arbitrators shall have significant experience and shall have expertise in licensing and partnering agreements in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, including expertise in the applicable subject matter of the Dispute.  The place of arbitration shall be New York City and the language (including all testimony, evidence and written documentation) shall be English.  The arbitrators shall establish procedures to facilitate and complete such arbitration as soon and efficiently as practicable.  Unless the arbitrators expressly determine otherwise, neither Party shall be required to give general discovery of documents, but may be required only to produce specific, identified documents that are relevant to the Dispute.  The Parties shall have the right to be represented by counsel.  Any judgment or award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the Parties, and shall be governed by the terms and conditions hereof, including the limitation on damages set forth in Section 12.5.  The Parties agree that such a judgment or award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The statute of limitations of the State of New York applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the commencement of arbitration under this ARTICLE XV.  The arbitrators shall determine the allocation of costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees in the arbitration to be borne by each Party.  All proceedings and decisions of the arbitrators shall be deemed Confidential Information of both of the Parties, and shall be subject to ARTICLE XIII.  The arbitrators shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each Party’s Confidential Information.  Except as required by Applicable Law, neither Party shall make (or instruct the arbitrators to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitrators without prior written consent of the other Party.  The existence of any Dispute submitted to arbitration, and the award, shall 


86


Option, License and Collaboration Agreement





be kept in confidence by the Parties and the arbitrators, except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.
(d)    Baseball Arbitration.  With respect to any Baseball Matter, either Party may, following the end of the period referenced in Section [...***...] or Section [...***...], as applicable, refer such Baseball Matter to arbitration in accordance with Section 15.2(c) by submitting a written notice of such request to the other Party.  In addition to the procedures set forth in Section 15.2(c), the following shall apply with respect to any such Baseball Matter:
(i)    Within [...***...] Business Days after appointment of the third arbitrator pursuant to Section 15.2(c), each Party shall deliver to the arbitrators and to the other Party its proposal regarding such Baseball Matter (each, a “Proposal”), as applicable, and a memorandum in support thereof. Within [...***...] Business Days after receipt of the other Party’s Proposal and memorandum, each Party may submit to the arbitrators (with a copy to the other Party) a response to the other Party’s Proposal.  Except as directed by the arbitrators and in any event with both Parties present or participating, neither Party may have any other communications (either written or oral) with the arbitrators other than for the sole purpose of engaging the arbitrators. 
(ii)    Within [...***...] days after the receipt of the Proposals and memoranda from both Parties, the arbitrators shall select the Proposal provided by one Party (without modification) that the arbitrators believe is [...***...].  The arbitrators must select, as the only method to resolve such a Dispute, the Proposal of one Party and, absent agreement by the Parties, may not combine elements of both of the Parties’ Proposals or terms or award any other relief or take any other action. The selection by the arbitrators of the applicable Proposal shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties.
(iii)    With respect to any Dispute regarding [...***...], the arbitrators shall [...***...].
(e)    Survivability.  Any obligation to arbitrate under this Agreement shall remain in effect and be enforceable after termination of this Agreement for any reason.
15.3    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
15.4    Award.  Any award to be paid by one Party to the other Party as determined by the arbitrators pursuant to Section 15.2 shall be promptly paid in Dollars free of any Tax, deduction or offset; and any costs, expenses, fees or Taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, be charged against the Party resisting enforcement.  Each Party agrees to abide by the award rendered in any arbitration conducted pursuant to this ARTICLE XV, and agrees that, subject to the U.S.  Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, judgment may be entered upon the final award in the U.S.  Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York and that other courts may award full faith and credit to such judgment in order to enforce such award.
15.5    Injunctive Relief.  Nothing in this ARTICLE XV will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a Dispute either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding.  Therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, including the recovery of damages for breach of this Agreement, upon an adequate showing of material breach, and 


87


Option, License and Collaboration Agreement





without further proof of irreparable harm other than this acknowledgement, such non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek (a) immediate equitable relief, specifically including both interim and permanent restraining orders and injunctions, and (b) such other and further equitable relief as the court may deem proper under the circumstances.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 15.5 shall otherwise limit a breaching Party’s opportunity to cure a material breach as permitted in accordance with Section 14.4.
15.6    Jurisdiction.  For the purposes of this ARTICLE XV, the Parties acknowledge their diversity (Gilead having its principal place of business in the State of California and Galapagos having its principal place of business in Belgium, each, as of the Execution Date), and except as provided in Section 15.7, agree to accept the jurisdiction of any United States District Court located in New York for the purposes of enforcing or appealing any awards entered pursuant to this ARTICLE XV and for enforcing the agreements reflected in this ARTICLE XV.
15.7    Patent and Trademark Disputes.  Notwithstanding Section 15.2, any Dispute between the Parties or their respective Affiliates relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patents or Trademarks covering the manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of Galapagos Molecules, Galapagos Products, Optioned Molecules or Optioned Products shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such patent or trademark rights were granted or arose.

Each Party shall instruct its counsel to cooperate with the other Party’s counsel and use reasonable efforts to facilitate and expedite the identification and resolution of any such issues and, consequently, the expiration of the applicable HSR Act waiting period and any other applicable waiting period under Antitrust Laws, including, if requested by Gilead, seeking early termination of any such waiting period.  Such reasonable efforts and cooperation include counsels’ undertaking: (A) to keep each other appropriately informed of communications from and to personnel of the reviewing Antitrust Authority; and (B) to confer with each other regarding appropriate contacts with and response to personnel of the FTC, DOJ or other applicable Antitrust Authority.

Galapagos Option Exercise Representations


The Galapagos Program that is the subject of the Option Exercise Notice to which these Option Exercise Representations and the corresponding Galapagos Option Schedule of Exceptions relate is referred to as the “Subject Program.”  Except as set forth in such Galapagos Option Schedule of Exceptions, Galapagos hereby represents and warrants and, with respect to Sections 4 and 8 below, covenants to Gilead as of the applicable Option Exercise Closing, except as set forth in the corresponding Galapagos Option Schedule of Exceptions, as follows with respect to the Subject Program:
		
	1.
	No Debarment.   Neither Galapagos nor any of its Affiliates is debarred, has been convicted, or is subject to debarment or conviction pursuant to Section 306 of the FD&C Act.  Galapagos has not used in connection with any activity in its business, any employee, agent or independent contractor who has been debarred by any Regulatory Authority, or, to the best of Galapagos’ knowledge, is the subject of debarment proceedings by a Regulatory Authority or has been convicted pursuant to Section 306 of the FD&C Act.   Galapagos shall promptly notify Gilead of any debarment or debarment proceeding that could have an impact on the use of the results of any Clinical Trials relating to the Subject Program.


		
	2.
	Title; Encumbrances.  Galapagos or one of its Affiliates solely owns or exclusively licenses and Controls the Existing Galapagos Patents and other Galapagos IP relating to the Subject Program, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not constitute a representation or warranty of non-infringement of a Third Party’s intellectual property rights.  Galapagos or one of its Affiliates has the right to grant the licenses for the Subject Program to Gilead as purported to be granted pursuant to this Option Exercise Closing.  Neither Galapagos nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any agreement (other than agreements with subcontractors) granting any right, interest or claim in or to, any Existing Galapagos Patents or Galapagos Know-How relating to the Subject Program to any Third Party that would conflict with the rights and licenses to Gilead as purported to be granted pursuant to this Option Exercise.   


		
	3.
	Assignment of Rights.  Each Person who has or has had any rights in or to any Existing Galapagos Patents or any material Galapagos Know-How relating to the Subject Program has assigned and has executed an agreement assigning its entire right, title and interest in and to such Existing Galapagos Patents and Galapagos Know-How relating to the Subject Program to Galapagos or one of its Affiliates.  To Galapagos’ Knowledge, no current officer, employee, agent, or consultant of Galapagos or any of its Affiliates is in violation of any term of any assignment or other agreement regarding the protection of Patents or other intellectual property or proprietary information of Galapagos or such Affiliate relating to the Subject Program or of any employment contract relating to the relationship of any such Person with Galapagos.




A-3









		
	4.
	Patents.  All Existing Galapagos Patents for the Subject Program are identified on Schedule 4.  All Existing Galapagos Patents for the Subject Program are subsisting and are being diligently prosecuted in the patent offices indicated on Schedule 4 in accordance with Applicable Law and to Galapagos’ Knowledge are not invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.  All applicable fees with respect thereto have been timely paid or will be timely paid (taking account of any permitted extensions).  The Existing Galapagos Patents on Schedule 4 represent all Patents within Galapagos’ or its Affiliates’ ownership or control (by license or otherwise) that Galapagos reasonably believes include claims covering the making, using or composition of matter of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products, or the Exploitation of any such Galapagos Molecule or Galapagos Product, in each case, in the Subject Program.   To the extent required, Galapagos or one of its Affiliates has properly recorded in the relevant U.S. and foreign patent offices the assignments, or other necessary documents, supporting its legal title to the Existing Galapagos Patents for the Subject Program on Schedule 4.  Galapagos and its Affiliates have presented, or will present prior to the pertinent patent office deadlines, all relevant references, documents or information of which they and the inventors are aware to the relevant patent examiner at the pertinent patent office, in connection with the prosecution of the pending patent applications included in the Existing Galapagos Patents for the Subject Program.


		
	5.
	No Infringement.  To Galapagos’ Knowledge, no Person is infringing or threatening to infringe or misappropriating or threatening to misappropriate any Existing Galapagos Patents or any Galapagos Know-How or Regulatory Documentation relating to the Subject Program.  To Galapagos’ Knowledge, there are no activities by Third Parties that would constitute infringement or misappropriation of the Galapagos IP relating to the Subject Program (in the case of pending claims, evaluating them as if issued).  


		
	6.
	No Conflicts.  The consummation of this Option Exercise Closing does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Option Exercise Closing will not, (i) except for the rights granted to Gilead in this Option Exercise, result in the creation of any encumbrance on any of the material properties or assets relating to the Subject Program, or (ii) conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, or require any consent, approval or waiver from any Person pursuant to (A) any provision of the organizational or governing documents of Galapagos, in each case as amended to date, or (B) any material agreement applicable to Galapagos’ or any of its Affiliates’ material properties or assets relating to the Subject Program. 


		
	7.
	In-Licenses and Restrictions on Business Activities.  None of the Existing Galapagos Patents for the Subject Program licensed hereunder by Galapagos to Gilead are owned or controlled in whole or in part by any Third Party.  There is no agreement, judgment, injunction, order or decree of a Governmental Authority with respect to the Subject Program binding upon Galapagos or any of its Affiliates that has or would reasonably be expected to have, whether before or after the Option Exercise Closing, the effect of 




A-4









prohibiting or impairing any current or presently proposed business practice of Galapagos or any of its Affiliates or the conduct of business by Galapagos or any of its Affiliates as currently conducted or as presently proposed to be conducted by Galapagos or any of its Affiliates for such Subject Program. 
		
	8.
	Copyrightable IP.  To Galapagos’ Knowledge, all works of authorship and all other materials subject to copyright protection included in Information owned or otherwise controlled by Galapagos or any of its Affiliates that is reasonably necessary or useful to Exploit any Galapagos Molecule or Galapagos Product in the Subject Program are original and were either created by employees of Galapagos or its Affiliates within the scope of their employment or are otherwise works made for hire, or right, title and interest in and to such materials have been legally assigned or licensed to Galapagos or such Affiliate to the extent necessary to provide Gilead with the rights granted to it hereunder, and all rights in all inventions and discoveries made, developed, or conceived by any employee or independent contractor of Galapagos or any of its Affiliates during the course of their employment (or other retention) by Galapagos or such Affiliate, and relating to or included in the Galapagos Know-How or that are the subject of one or more Existing Galapagos Patents, in each case relating to the Subject Program, have been or will be assigned in writing to Galapagos or such Affiliate to the extent necessary to provide Gilead with the rights granted to it hereunder.  


		
	9.
	Transfer of Rights.  Galapagos or one of its Affiliates has obtained the right (including under any Patents and other intellectual property rights) to use all Information and all other materials (including any formulations and manufacturing processes and procedures) developed or delivered by any Third Party under any agreements between Galapagos or one of its Affiliates and any such Third Party with respect to the Subject Program to the extent necessary to provide Gilead with the rights granted to it hereunder, and Galapagos or one of its Affiliates has the rights under each such agreement to transfer such Information or other materials to Gilead and its designees and to grant Gilead the right to use such Information or other materials in the Development or Commercialization of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products in the Subject Program as required to enable Gilead to Exploit the Galapagos Molecules and the Galapagos Products in the Subject Program in the Gilead Territory.  


		
	10.
	Confidentiality of Know-How.  With respect to those portions of the Galapagos Know-How the confidentiality of which is material to the Exploitation of any Galapagos Molecule or Galapagos Product in the Subject Program, such portions of the Galapagos Know-How have been kept confidential or have been disclosed to Third Parties only under terms of confidentiality or if published or otherwise publicly disclosed, were published or publicly disclosed in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to adversely impact the patentability of such Galapagos Know-How relating to the Subject Program.  To Galapagos’ and its Affiliates’ Knowledge, no breach of such confidentiality relating to the Subject Program has been committed by any Third Party.  


		
	11.
	No Proceedings.  




A-5









		
	a.
	No claim or litigation has been brought or threatened in writing by any Person against Galapagos or any of its Affiliates alleging, and Galapagos has no Knowledge of any reasonable basis for any such claim or allegation, whether or not asserted, that (A) any Existing Galapagos Patents for the Subject Program are invalid or unenforceable, or (B) that the use or practice of any Existing Galapagos Patents or any Regulatory Materials or Galapagos Know-How, or the disclosing, copying, making, assigning or licensing of any Existing Galapagos Patents or any such Regulatory Materials or Galapagos Know-How, in each case relating to the Subject Program, or the Development, Commercialization or other Exploitation of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products in the Subject Program as contemplated herein, does or will violate, infringe, misappropriate or otherwise conflict or interfere with, any Patent or other intellectual property or proprietary right of any Third Party.


		
	b.
	There is no private or Governmental Authority action, suit, proceeding, claim, mediation, arbitration or investigation pending before any Governmental Authority, or, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, threatened against Galapagos or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective assets or properties relating to the Subject Program or, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, any of their respective directors, managers, officers or employees (in their capacities as such or relating to their employment, services or relationship with Galapagos or any of its Affiliates), nor, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, is there any reasonable basis for any such action, suit, proceeding, claim, mediation, arbitration or investigation.  There is no judgment, decree, injunction or order against Galapagos or any of its Affiliates, or, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, any of its or their respective assets or properties, relating to the Subject Program or, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, any of their respective directors, managers, officers or employees (in their capacities as such or relating to their employment, services or relationship with Galapagos or any of its Affiliates).  Neither Galapagos nor any of its Affiliates has any action, suit, proceeding, claim, mediation, arbitration or investigation pending against any other Person or relating to the Subject Program.


		
	12.
	No Misappropriation.  The conception and reduction to practice of any inventions and the use or development of any other Information relating to the Subject Program (i) owned by Galapagos have not constituted or involved the misappropriation of trade secrets or other rights or property of any Third Party and (ii) in-licensed by Galapagos, to Galapagos’ Knowledge, have not constituted or involved the misappropriation of trade secrets or other rights or property of any Third Party; provided, however, that the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not constitute a representation or warranty of non-infringement of a Third Party’s intellectual property rights.


		
	13.
	Full Disclosure.  Galapagos has provided or made available to Gilead all material adverse information with respect to the safety and efficacy of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products in the Subject Program.  Galapagos has provided a true, complete 




A-6

	14.
	Compliance and Qualifications.  


		
	a.
	To Galapagos’ Knowledge, Galapagos and its Affiliates have conducted, and their respective contractors, licensees and consultants, have conducted in all material respects all Development under the Subject Program in accordance with all Applicable Laws, including current Good Clinical Practices, Good Laboratory Practices, Good Manufacturing Practices and the Declaration of Helsinki.


		
	b.
	Galapagos and its Affiliates and licensees have generated, prepared, maintained and retained all Regulatory Documentation that is required to be maintained or retained with respect to the Subject Program pursuant to and in accordance with Applicable Law, and all such Regulatory Documentation is true, complete and correct and what it purports to be.


		
	c.
	In connection with the collection, storage, transfer (including any transfer across national borders) or use of any information relating to identified or identifiable natural persons (collectively “Personal Information”) by or on behalf of Galapagos or any of its Affiliates relating to the Subject Program, Galapagos and its Affiliates are in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws in all relevant jurisdictions, internal privacy policies and the requirements of any contract or codes of conduct to which Galapagos or any of its Affiliates is a party.  Galapagos and its Affiliates have commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures in place to ensure the security of all Personal Information relating to the Subject Program it controls or processes.  Galapagos and its Affiliates are in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws relating to breaches of security affecting Personal Information relating to the Subject Program and associated notification obligations.  Neither Galapagos nor any of its Affiliates has received a complaint regarding its collection, storage, transfer or use of Personal Information relating to the Subject Program.  Galapagos agrees to execute or cause to be executed any additional clauses or agreements necessary to comply with data protection laws prior to the transfer of Personal Information.


		
	15.
	No Misrepresentation.  To Galapagos’ Knowledge, neither Galapagos nor any of its Affiliates or licensees, nor any of its or their respective officers, employees or agents, has made an untrue statement of material fact or fraudulent statement to the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority with respect to the Development of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products in the Subject Program, failed to disclose a material fact required to be disclosed to the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority with respect to the Development of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products in the Subject Program, or committed an act, made a statement, or failed to make a statement with respect to the Development of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products in the Subject Program that could reasonably be expected to provide a basis for the FDA to invoke its policy 




A-7

There are no milestone payments, profit share obligations, royalty payments or other amounts in each case that are based on the Manufacture, Development or Commercialization of the Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products in the Subject Program required to be paid to a Third Party as a result of the Manufacture, Development or Commercialization of such Galapagos Molecules or Galapagos Products under any agreement to which Galapagos or any of its Affiliates is a party.  


		
	17.
	No Government Funding.  To Galapagos’ Knowledge, the inventions claimed in the Existing Galapagos Patents for the Subject Program (i) were not conceived, discovered, developed, generated or otherwise made in connection with any research activities funded, in whole or in part, by the federal government of the United States or any agency thereof, (ii) are not a “subject invention” as that term is described in 35 U.S.C. Section 201(f), and (iii) are not otherwise subject to the provisions of the Bayh-Dole Act.
