“The Parties shall prepare in writing an overall Development plan and budget (as such plan and budget may be amended from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, the “Core Development Plan”) covering the entire Development period and the Development activities and costs required in order to obtain and 




maintain the Marketing Approvals and (if applicable) the Pricing and/or Reimbursement Approvals for the Licensed Products (including Phase 4 Clinical Trials, if applicable) for the First Indication and Additional Indications, if any, in the Profit Share Territory, the European Territory, Japan and Korea (such activities, the “Core Development Activities”), provided that the Core Development Plan related to Japan and/or Korea shall be limited to Clinical Trials mutually agreed by the Parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the Profit Share Territory and the European Territory, it is their intent to seek Marketing Approval in the First Indication for a label that is as broad as reasonably possible (including, for clarity, broad use by age), taking into account, among other things, the requirements of Applicable Laws and the interest in making Licensed Products in the Field commercially available in a timely manner.  In the Profit Share Territory and the European Territory, in addition to Clinical Trial(s) designed to obtain Marketing Approval for pediatric patients from the age of five (5) through the age of eighteen (18), unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Parties, the Core Development Plan shall include a Clinical Trial for pediatric patients below the age of 5.  For clarity, the Core Development Plan and Core Development Activities shall cover the 001 and 002 Studies.  The initial Core Development Plan has been mutually agreed in writing by the Parties as of the date of signing this Agreement, and shall be the operative Core Development Plan until amended with the approval of the JSC.”

 


	
 
	
5.
	
Section 4.3.1(a) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:




 

“UGNX shall be the lead Party for the Development of Licensed Products in the Field in the Profit Share Territory, the European Territory, Japan and Korea (“Lead Development Party”) for the following activities beginning on the Effective Date (collectively, “UGNX Core Development Activities”): (i) all of the Core Development Activities (except for the 001 and 002 studies) conducted in the Profit Share Territory through the day immediately preceding the Profit Share Territory Transition Date; (ii) all of the Core Development Activities conducted in the European Territory through the day immediately preceding the applicable European Transition Date; and (iii) all of the Core Development Activities conducted in Japan and Korea; provided, however, that UGNX shall in each case under (i) and (ii) continue to be the Lead Development Party for any Phase 4 Clinical Trials and/or Clinical Trials for additional indications in the Field (but excluding for clarity Phase 5 Clinical Trials), if any, commenced (Initiation) by UGNX in the Profit Share Territory or the European Territory prior to the Profit Share Territory Transition Date or the Applicable European Transition Date, as applicable, until completion of such respective Clinical Trial (“On-Going Clinical Trials”).”

7.
	
A new Section 4.13 shall be added that provides as follows:

If the Regulatory Authority makes an unannounced or unplanned visit, or if UGNX does not have at least thirty (30) days’ notice of the visit, UGNX shall inform KHK of the visit within one (1) Business Day after UGNX obtains actual knowledge of the visit.  UGNX shall inform KHK as soon as practicable regarding the purpose and result of such visit or inquiry, and shall provide to KHK copies of any minutes of the inspection generated by UGNX or the CROs and/or subcontractors following such inspection and any report or correspondence provided by UGNX or the CROs and/or subcontractors to the Regulatory Authority or issued by or provided by the Regulatory Authority to UGNX or the CROs and/or subcontractors, in connection with such visit or inquiry.
