	6	 Term and Termination 



 

	6.1	 Term 


  

	 	6.1.1	 This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with
its terms, shall continue in force until the expiry of the last remaining Service Period (the “Term”). 


  

	 	6.1.2	 Any termination of this Agreement shall become effective on the last Business Day of the calendar

the remaining portion of such Service.

simultaneously terminates all other Services that the Provider notifies to the Recipient, within [***] of receipt of the Recipient’s notice of termination, as being Dependent Services. A Service shall constitute a “Dependent

original notice of termination relates. 


  

	 	6.2.4	 If the Recipient terminates this Agreement prior to the expiry of the Initial Term, then unless such

	6.5	 Termination for Non-Payment of the Takeda Continued Activities
Costs and Expenses or Service Charges

or expiry. The obligations of each Party set out in any Section intended to survive such termination or expiry, including this Section 6.8 (Survival of Rights on Termination or Expiry) and Sections 1 (Definition and
Interpretation), 4 (Price and Payment), 5 (Warranties and Obligations), 8 (Liability and Indemnification), 10 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution), 11 (Intellectual Property Rights), 13
(Confidentiality), and 15 (Other Provisions), shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding termination or expiry of this Agreement. 
  

	7	 Transition 



 

	7.1	 Transition Plan 



 

	 	7.1.1	 Without prejudice to any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Recipient shall use all
reasonable efforts to transition Services to a Successor Operator as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event prior to expiry of the relevant Service Period for each Service. 



 

	 	7.1.2	 The Recipient shall prepare a draft transition plan setting out the steps the Parties intend to take
to enable each of the Services to be transitioned to a Successor Operator. If any Services are likely to terminate on different dates, the draft transition plan will also identify any dependencies between those Services. 



 

	 	7.1.3	 If requested by Takeda, the Recipient shall deliver the draft transition plan to the Provider within
[***] of Takeda’s request.

	 	7.2.3	 The Recipient shall pay the Provider for its costs and expenses in carrying out the Transition Plan
and its other obligations under this Section 7.2, provided always that such costs and expenses are approved by the Recipient in advance. If such approval 















	 	 
is not given, there shall be no obligation on the Provider to carry out the relevant obligations.

reasonable attorneys’ fees) as they are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing, or defending any Action, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation and whether or not any Provider Indemnified Person is a party,

other time. Neither the waiver by any of the Parties of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by either of the Parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or
to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder. The rights and remedies herein provided are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that either Party may otherwise have at law or in equity.
