Commercially Reasonable Efforts shall be determined on a market-by-market and product-by-product basis in view of conditions prevailing at the time, and evaluated taking into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the efficacy, safety, anticipated regulatory authority approved labeling, competitiveness of the product and alternative products that are in the marketplace (including EYLEA and/or any PDGF Product) and/or under development by Third Parties and other technical, scientific, legal, medical marketing and competitiveness factors. It is anticipated that the level of effort constituting Commercially Reasonable Efforts may change over time. In determining whether a Party has used Commercially Reasonable Efforts, neither the Territory Profit Split nor other payments made or required to be made from one Party to the other under this Agreement shall be considered in determining market potential (that is, a Party may not apply lesser resources or efforts in support of a Licensed Product because it must pay the Territory Profit Split and/or make milestone and/or any other payments hereunder to the other Party).  By way of example, for purposes of determining whether Company uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize a Licensed Product in a Major Market Country, a basis for comparison shall be the efforts used by Company to commercialize in such Major Market Country another Company product that is wholly owned by Company, is at a similar stage of commercialization to the Licensed Product and has both anticipated total sales and overall profitability to Company in such Major Market Country substantially similar to that of the Licensed Product, taking into account total sales and total profitability of the Licensed Product in such Major Market Country, but without consideration of any of the payments required to be made from one Party to the other under this Agreement. 
1.32    “Committee” shall mean any of the JSC, JDC, JCC or JFC, each as described in Article IV (together with the Working Groups and/or other committees contemplated herein and/or established in accordance with this Agreement).

Company Collaboration Know-How shall include New Information of Company.  For clarity, all Know-How that is conceived, developed, created or otherwise made by or on behalf of Company (and/or its Affiliates and/or its and/or their sublicensees) in connection with the development, manufacture and/or commercialization of products that are not Licensed Products outside of this Agreement and without use of any (a) then existing Company Collaboration Intellectual Property, (b) Joint Intellectual Property, or (c) Regeneron Collaboration Intellectual Property, Regeneron Licensed Intellectual Property, Regeneron EYLEA Intellectual Property or Regeneron PDGF Intellectual Property shall not constitute Company Collaboration Know-How.

Each Party shall (a) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop Licensed Products in the Field pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and carry out the Development activities assigned to it in Development Plans in a timely manner and (b) conduct all such Development activities hereunder in compliance with applicable Laws, including, without limitation, Good Practices.  Regeneron may conduct separate Development activities to support Licensed Products in the Excluded Territory, subject to the conditions and requirements set forth herein.        
6.2    Development Plans.  
(a)    The JDC shall prepare and update Development Plans for Licensed Products in the Field under this Agreement for approval by the JSC.  Except for the first Global ANG2 Development Plan incorporating the Initial Development Plan, an updated Global ANG2 Development Plan (and, if applicable, Territory ANG2 Development Plan) will be presented by the JDC for approval by the JSC, and approved by the JSC, at least two (2) months prior to the end of each Contract Year.  Each Development Plan will set forth the plan for Development of each Licensed Product in the Field over at least three (3) Contract Years and will include (i) strategies and timelines for Developing and obtaining Approvals for the Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory and, subject to Section 3.6, the Excluded Territory, and (ii) the allocation of responsibilities for Development activities between the Parties  and/or Third Party service providers to the extent provided by the applicable Development Plan.  
(b)    Each Development Plan will be reviewed and informally updated by the JDC not less frequently than every six (6) months for the ensuing three (3) year period.  No later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, the JDC will meet to finalize the first Global ANG2 Development Plan (which, as provided in the second sentence of Section 6.2(a), shall incorporate, or be substantially consistent with, the Initial Global ANG2 Development Plan) (and, if applicable, the first Territory ANG2 Development Plan).  Until the first Global ANG2 Development Plan is approved by the JSC, the Parties will Develop the Licensed Products in the Field under this Agreement in accordance with the Initial Global ANG2 Development Plan, unless otherwise agreed to by the JSC.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the JDC, each update to the Development Plan(s) shall include the activities and timelines described in or referred to in the Initial Development Plan until the activities described therein are completed in a timely manner.

46









such Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory under this Agreement pursuant to a Territory ANG2 Development Plan.
6.3    Clinical Trials Outside of a Development Plan.
(a)    If a Party (the “Proposing Party”) wishes to undertake additional clinical trials not contemplated in a Development Plan to support a Licensed Product in the Field, the Proposing Party shall present the proposed protocols and clinical trial designs to the JDC for approval and, for other than Non-Approval Trials and/or trials conducted solely for purposes of obtaining Approvals in the Excluded Territory, shall also present to the JDC the related budgets. If the JDC fails to approve the proposal within the timeframe established by the JDC pursuant to Section 6.6, then (i) Regeneron as the Proposing Party shall be free to undertake, at its sole expense, additional clinical trials and other Development in the Territory and the Excluded Territory outside the Development Plan for use in the Excluded Territory and (ii) Company as the Proposing Party shall be free to undertake, at its sole expense, additional clinical trials and other Development in the Territory outside the Development Plan that are necessary to obtain Marketing Approval in the Territory; provided, however, that the Proposing Party must first present the proposed protocols and clinical trial designs to the other Party for approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the other Party does not approve any such protocols and/or clinical trial designs for material safety reasons, the Proposing Party may not proceed with the proposed clinical trials unless and until the dispute has been resolved as provided in Section 4.10(b) and, if necessary, Section 11.4.  
(b)     In the event that Regeneron conducts a clinical trial for a Licensed Product in the Field in the Excluded Territory outside the scope of a Development Plan pursuant to this Section 6.3 and Company desires to use any data from such clinical trial to support an application for Marketing Approval (including a new label claim) for a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, then Company shall pay to Regeneron an amount equal to [***********].  
(c)    In the event that Company conducts a clinical trial for a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory outside the scope of a Development Plan pursuant to this Section 6.3 and uses data from such clinical trial to obtain Marketing Approval for a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, then (A) if Regeneron does not use any data from such clinical trial to support an application for Marketing Approval (including a new label claim) for a Licensed Product in the Field in the Excluded Territory, Regeneron shall pay to Company an amount equal to [***********] and (B) if Regeneron desires to use any data from such clinical trial to support an application for Marketing Approval (including a new label claim) for a Licensed Product in the Field in the Excluded Territory, Regeneron shall pay to Company an amount equal to [***********].  
(d)    The payment of any Development Costs and other amounts by a Party to a Proposing Party pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall not be subject to the 




47









Quarterly True-Up mechanism set forth in Article X and Schedule 2.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3, a Party shall not be required to reimburse the other Party for any Development Costs incurred by such other Party in conducting a clinical trial outside the scope of a Development Plan pursuant to this Section 6.3 if the applicable data is used, and, for clarity, the non-reimbursing Party shall have the right to use such data, solely as part of an annual report, a safety report, and/or regular filing required by a Regulatory Authority or applicable Laws to maintain an Approval.  
(e)    For clarity, except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.3, neither Party shall have the right to use any data, results or other Know-How resulting from a clinical trial conducted by the other Party outside the scope of a Development Plan pursuant to this Section 6.3 to support the Development or Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory or the Development or commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the Excluded Territory, as applicable, under this Agreement.  
6.4    Development Budgets.  The Territory ANG2 Development Plan shall include the Territory ANG2 Development Budget, and the Global ANG2 Development Plan shall include the Global ANG2 Development Budget (each individually, a “Development Budget” and both collectively, the “Development Budgets”), and the Development Budgets shall be prepared, updated, reviewed and approved as part of the preparation, update and approval of the Development Plans in accordance with this Agreement.  Amendments and updates to any Development Budgets shall not be effective without the approval of the JSC.  In the event that, during any Contract Year (the “First Year”), any Development activity expressly provided for in the approved Development Budget to be completed during such First Year is not completed during such First Year (to the extent incomplete, an “Incomplete Activity”) and the full expense budgeted for such activity for such First Year is not incurred (to the extent not incurred, a “Non-Incurred Amount”), then such Incomplete Activity shall be completed during Contract Years following such First Year (the “Succeeding Year(s)”) and the Non-Incurred Amount shall be included in the Development Budget for such Succeeding Year(s) as set forth in the following sentence.  If the Development Budget for such Succeeding Year(s) has not yet been approved by the JSC, then the Non-Incurred Amount shall be included in the proposed Development Budget for such Succeeding Year(s) without otherwise limiting any other Development activities and/or any amounts related thereto, unrelated to the Incomplete Activity, which, pursuant to the Development Plan, would have been performed during such Succeeding Year, and if the Development Budget for the Succeeding Year(s) has been approved by the JSC, then the Development Budget for such Succeeding Year(s) shall be revised automatically to include the Non-Incurred Amount.
6.5    Development Reports.  Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Quarter after the Effective Date, Regeneron and Company shall each provide to the other Party a written report (in electronic form) summarizing the material activities undertaken by such Party during such Quarter in connection with each Development 




48









Plan, together with a statement of Development Costs incurred by such Party during such Quarter, which statement shall detail those amounts to be included in the Consolidated Payment Report for such Quarter and shall be in such form, format and of such level of detail as approved by the JFC.  Within forty-five (45) days after the end of a Contract Year, the JFC will present the final Development Costs for such preceding Contract Year to the JSC for approval. 
6.6    Review of Clinical Trial Protocols.  The JDC will establish procedures for the expeditious review of clinical trial protocols for the Licensed Products submitted to the JDC by either Party pursuant to Section 6.3, including, without limitation, pre-approval authorizations for Non-Approval Trials meeting established criteria.  In no event will such procedures require more than ten (10) Business Days for the JDC to accept or reject a proposed protocol and/or clinical trial design for a clinical study to be conducted solely for purposes of obtaining an Approval in the Excluded Territory.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Lead Regulatory Party will be responsible for, and will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in applying for, obtaining and maintaining the applicable Approval or other Registration Filing for the Licensed Products in the Field for which it has responsibility as the Lead Regulatory Party.  To the extent applicable, the 




58









Lead Regulatory Party shall perform all such activities in accordance with the Plans and all applicable Laws.
(b)    The Parties shall establish procedures, through the JDC or the JCC, to ensure that the Parties exchange on a timely basis all necessary information with respect to Licensed Products, PDGF Products and EYLEA to enable the other Party and its licensees, as applicable, (i) to comply with its regulatory obligations in connection with the development, manufacture and/or commercialization of the Licensed Products, PDGF Products (pursuant to the PDGF Agreement) and EYLEA (pursuant to the EYLEA Agreement) in the Field, including, without limitation, filing updates and/or supplements with Regulatory Authorities, pharmacovigilance filings, manufacturing supplements and investigator notifications to Regulatory Authorities, (ii) to comply with Laws in connection with the development, manufacture and/or commercialization of the Licensed Products, PDGF Products (pursuant to the PDGF Agreement) and EYLEA (pursuant to the EYLEA Agreement) in the Field anywhere in the world, including the Excluded Territory, and (iii) to comply with Laws with respect to the development, manufacture and/or commercialization of ANG2 Products, PDGF Products (pursuant to the PDGF Agreement) and EYLEA (pursuant to the EYLEA Agreement) outside the Field.  The Parties shall provide to each other prompt written notice of any Approval of a Licensed Product, a PDGF Product (pursuant to the PDGF Agreement) and/or EYLEA (pursuant to the EYLEA Agreement) in the Field anywhere in the world.  The Parties shall work together cooperatively through the JDC in the preparation of regulatory strategies and with respect to all material regulatory actions, communications and Registration Filings for Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory (including with respect to any regulatory strategies, material regulatory actions, communications and Registration Filings under the EYLEA Agreement with respect to EYLEA and/or under the PDGF Agreement with respect to the PDGF Products), and, subject to Section 3.6, with respect to the same in the Excluded Territory to the extent that such strategies, actions, and/or communications would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect, or have a material impact on, the Development and/or Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory.
(c)    Subject to Sections 3.6 and 8.2(e), the Lead Regulatory Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide the other Party as promptly as practicable with written notice and copies of any material (i) draft filings with, (ii) submissions to and (iii) correspondence (including Approvals) with, Regulatory Authorities in each case ((i), (ii) and (iii)) that directly pertain to the Development and/or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Field under the Plans, and shall use reasonable efforts to afford the other Party’s representatives an opportunity to actively participate in the drafting and review of such material filings and submissions (including, without limitation, all annual and periodic safety reports for Licensed Products in the Field).  Moreover, the Lead Regulatory Party shall consider in good faith requests from the other Party to have up to two (2) representatives from the other Party attend (but not participate in) all material, pre-scheduled meetings, telephone conferences and/or discussions with the Regulatory Authorities in the Territory or, to the extent such material 




59









meetings, telephone conferences and/or discussions pertain to the activities under the Global ANG2 Development Plan, the Excluded Territory.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Lead Regulatory Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide the other Party on a timely basis with all material information, data and materials reasonably necessary for the other Party to participate in the preparation of the material filings and submissions referred to in this paragraph (c), said items to be provided to the other Party in a timely manner.  The Parties will discuss in good faith any disputes on the contents of filings and/or submissions referred to in this paragraph (c) to the Regulatory Authorities and disputes shall be submitted to the JDC for timely resolution.
(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.2 entitles Company to attend meetings with Regulatory Authorities in the Excluded Territory or review Registration Filings in connection with the Development of Licensed Products in the Excluded Territory, except as they relate to the performance of the Global ANG2 Development Plan.  Subject to its obligations hereunder, Regeneron, in its sole discretion, shall have the exclusive right (i) to seek and obtain all Registration Filings and Approvals with respect to the commercialization of Licensed Products in the Excluded Territory, (ii) to decide the final content of, and to prepare and submit, any Registration Filings for Marketing Approval for a Licensed Product in the Excluded Territory and (iii) to make any submissions and/or conduct any meetings and/or discussions with Regulatory Authorities in the Excluded Territory concerning Marketing Approval for a Licensed Product.

8.3    Regulatory Coordination with Third Parties.  Company acknowledges and agrees that Regeneron has secured certain rights under the Aventis Agreement (a) to allow Company and its Affiliates to reference the filings, registrations, licenses and authorizations from or with any Regulatory Authority in connection with Regeneron’s and Aventis’ development, manufacture and/or commercialization of Regeneron VEGF Products outside the Field to support the development, manufacture and/or commercialization of Licensed Products (as defined in the EYLEA Agreement) in the Field in the Territory under the EYLEA Agreement and (b) to coordinate the exchange of information (including, without limitation, information pertaining to pharmacovigilance, development, manufacture and/or commercialization) related to Licensed Products (as defined in the EYLEA Agreement) inside and outside the Field between Regeneron, Company and Aventis (or any other Third Party licensee of Regeneron engaged in the development, manufacture and/or commercialization of Licensed Products (as defined in the EYLEA Agreement) outside the Field) in order to ensure compliance with applicable Laws.  Regeneron shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts under the Aventis Agreement to extend to Company substantially similar rights with respect to Licensed Products that contain Aflibercept under this Agreement as those rights identified in the previous sentence.  It is agreed that Regeneron and its Affiliates and licensees of ANG2 Products and/or Regeneron VEGF Products outside the Field (including, without limitation, Aventis) and/or outside the Territory shall have the right to 




60









reference the Registration Filings and/or Approvals of the Parties for the Licensed Products, the PDGF Products and EYLEA to support Regeneron’s or its Affiliates’ or such licensees’ development, manufacture and/or commercialization of ANG2 Products, PDGF Products (pursuant to the PDGF Agreement) and EYLEA (pursuant to the EYLEA Agreement) and/or Regeneron VEGF Products outside the Field and/or outside the Territory.  Company and Regeneron shall work in good faith to coordinate the exchange of information (including, without limitation, pharmacovigilance information) related to ANG2 Products, PDGF Products, EYLEA and/or Regeneron VEGF Products inside and outside the Field (and inside and outside the Territory) between Regeneron, Company and Aventis (and/or any other Third Party licensee of a Party engaged in the development, manufacture and/or commercialization of ANG2 Products, PDGF Products (pursuant to the PDGF Agreement) or EYLEA (pursuant to the EYLEA Agreement) and/or Regeneron VEGF Products outside the Field and/or outside the Territory) in order to ensure compliance with applicable Laws. As between the Parties, Regeneron shall have the exclusive right to communicate with Regulatory Authorities with respect to Licensed Products outside the Field and, subject to Section 3.6, in the Excluded Territory.
8.4    Regulatory Events.  Each Party shall keep the other Party informed, commencing within forty-eight (48) hours after notification (or other time period specified below), of any action by, or notification or other information that it receives (directly or indirectly) from, any Regulatory Authority, Third Party or other Governmental Authority in the Territory or Excluded Territory, that: 
(a)    raises any material concerns regarding the safety and/or efficacy of any Licensed Product in the Field;
(b)    indicates or suggests a potential investigation or formal inquiry by any Regulatory Authority in connection with the Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Field under the Plans; provided, however, that each Party shall inform the other Party of the foregoing no later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of a notification referred to in this clause (b); or
(c)    is reasonably likely to lead to a recall or market withdrawal of any Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory.
Information that shall be disclosed pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall include, but not be limited to:
(i)    Governmental Authority inspections of Manufacturing, Development, distribution and/or other facilities;
(ii)    inquiries by Regulatory Authorities and/or other Governmental Authorities concerning clinical investigation activities (including inquiries of investigators, clinical research organizations and other related parties) and/or pharmacovigilance activities, in each case, to 




61









the extent involving matters described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8.4;
(iii)    receipt of a warning letter issued by a Regulatory Authority;
(iv)    an initiation of any Regulatory Authority or other Governmental Authority investigation, detention, seizure or injunction; and
(v)    receipt of product complaints concerning actual or suspected Licensed Product tampering, contamination, and/or mix-up (e.g., wrong ingredients).
8.5    Pharmacovigilance and Product Complaints.  While the Lead Regulatory Party shall be responsible for managing pharmacovigilance and product complaints for its territory and for formulating and implementing any related strategies, both Parties will cooperate with each other in order to fulfill all regulatory requirements concerning drug safety surveillance and product complaint reporting in all countries in which the Licensed Products (both in the Field and out of the Field), PDGF Products and/or EYLEA are being developed, manufactured, and/or commercialized in the Territory and/or in the Excluded Territory.  Without limitation to the foregoing, the Parties shall within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date execute a Pharmacovigilance Agreement setting forth the specific procedures to be used by the Parties to coordinate the investigation and exchange of reports of adverse drug experiences and product complaints with respect to Licensed Product, any PDGF Product and/or EYLEA to ensure timely communication to Regulatory Authorities and compliance with Laws.
8.6    Regulatory Inspection or Audit.  If a Regulatory Authority desires to conduct an inspection or audit of a Party with regard to a Licensed Product in the Field, each Party agrees to cooperate with the other and the Regulatory Authority during such inspection or audit, including by allowing, to the extent practicable, a representative of the other Party to be present during the applicable portions of such inspection or audit to the extent it relates to the Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization of a Licensed Product for use in the Field under this Agreement.  Following receipt of the inspection or audit observations of the Regulatory Authority (a copy of which the receiving Party will promptly provide to the other Party), the Party in receipt of the observations will prepare any appropriate responses; provided that the other Party, to the extent practicable, shall have the right to review and comment on such responses to the extent they relate to or may be reasonably expected to adversely impact the Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory, and the Party that received the observations shall consider in good faith the comments made by such other Party. In the event the Parties disagree concerning the form and/or content of a response, the Party that received the observations will decide the appropriate form and content of the response.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Party (and its Third Party subcontractors) shall notify the other Party within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of a notification from a Regulatory 




62









Authority of the intention of such Regulatory Authority to audit or inspect facilities used or proposed to be used for the Manufacture of Licensed Products for use in the Field under this Agreement; provided that, to the extent feasible, such notification shall be given no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to any such Regulatory Authority audit or inspection.
8.7    Recalls and Other Corrective Actions.  Decisions with respect to any recall, market withdrawal or other corrective action related to any Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory shall be made only upon mutual agreement of the Parties, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit either Party from initiating and/or conducting any recall or other corrective action required by a Governmental Authority or Law.  The Party that determines that a recall or market withdrawal of a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory may be required shall, within twenty-four (24) hours, notify the other Party and, without limitation of and subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, the Parties shall decide whether such a recall or market withdrawal is required.  The Parties shall cooperate with respect to any actions taken and/or public statements made in connection with any such recall or market withdrawal.  Except to the extent any such recall, market withdrawal or other corrective action is due to a Party’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, expenses associated with such recalls will be treated as Other Shared Expenses.  For clarity, any expenses associated with a recall, market withdrawal or other corrective action due to a Party’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct shall not be treated as Other Shared Expenses and shall be the responsibility of the Party causing such recall, market withdrawal or other corrective action.

Subject to Section 21.9, any withholding or other taxes that either Party or its Affiliates are required by Law to withhold and/or pay on behalf of the other Party, with respect to any payments to such other Party hereunder, shall be deducted from such payments and paid to the appropriate tax authority contemporaneously with the remittance to the other Party; provided, however, that the withholding Party shall promptly furnish to the other Party proper evidence of the taxes so paid.  Each Party shall 




70









cooperate with the other and furnish to the other Party appropriate documents to secure application of the most favorable rate of withholding tax under applicable Law (or exemption from such withholding tax payments, as applicable).  Without limiting the foregoing, Company agrees to make all lawful and reasonable efforts to minimize any such taxes, assessments and fees and will claim on Regeneron’s behalf the benefit of any available treaty on the avoidance of double taxation that applies to any payments hereunder.
10.10    Adjustments to FTE Rates.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the request of either Party (such request to occur not more than once every three (3) years for any country), the Parties shall meet to review the accuracy of an applicable FTE rate in any country (e.g., Sales Force FTE Rate, Medical Affairs FTE Rate, Development FTE Rate, HQ FTE Rate, etc.).  The Parties agree to share reasonable supporting documents and materials in connection with an assessment of the applicable FTE rate and to determine in good faith whether to adjust the rate(s) in any country.
10.11    Resolution of Payment Disputes.

In the event that no resolution is reached by the JFC, the matter shall be referred to the JSC in accordance with Section 4.10(a).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation to pay any reasonably disputed amount shall not be deemed to have been triggered until such dispute is resolved hereunder, provided that all amounts that are not in dispute shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
10.12    Development Budget Overruns.  Neither Party shall be required to pay any Development Costs for a Contract Year that are in excess of[***********] of the total amounts that are in the JSC approved Global ANG2 Development Budget (or Territory ANG2 Development Budget) for such Contract Year (as such budget may be adjusted to include any Non-Incurred Amounts from prior years pursuant to Section 6.4) (“Development Overruns”), unless such Development Overruns have been approved by both Parties’ representatives on the JSC.  Otherwise, the Party responsible for the Development activities that caused the overrun shall be responsible for bearing [***********] of the costs and expenses of such Development Overrun not otherwise approved by the JSC, or, if both Parties contributed toward the overrun, they shall bear those excess expenses in the same proportion as their contributions to the Development Overrun.

(a)    Major Market Country / HQ Commercialization Overruns.  Regeneron shall not be required to pay (i) any Shared Promotion Expenses with respect 




71









to any individual Major Market Country and/or the Company HQ Unit for a Contract Year that for such Major Market Country and/or the Company HQ Unit are in excess of [***********] of the total amounts that are in the JSC approved Territory ANG2 Commercialization Budget (or Country/Region ANG2 Commercialization Budget) for such Major Market Country and/or the HQ Budget for the Company HQ Unit for such Contract Year; and (ii) any Shared Promotion Expenses with respect to the aggregate of all Major Market Countries plus the Company HQ Unit for a Contract Year that collectively are in excess of [***********] of the total amounts that are in the JSC approved Territory ANG2 Commercialization Budget (and Country/Region ANG2 Commercialization Budget) for all the Major Market Countries and the HQ Budget for the Company HQ Unit for such Contract Year.  Any Shared Promotion Expenses that are not paid pursuant to Section 10.13(a)(i) shall be excluded from the Shared Promotion Expenses used in calculating the limits set forth in Section 10.13(a)(ii).
(b)    Region Commercialization Overruns.  Regeneron shall not be required to pay (i) any Shared Promotion Expenses with respect to any individual Region that are in excess of [***********] of the total amounts that are in the JSC approved Country/Region ANG2 Commercialization Budget for such individual Region for a Contract Year; and (ii) any Shared Promotion Expenses with respect to the aggregate of all Regions that collectively are in excess of [***********] of the total amounts that are in the JSC approved Country/Region ANG2 Commercialization Budget for all the Regions collectively for a Contract Year.

(c)    Non-Incurred Amounts.  In the event that, during any Contract Year, any Shared Promotion Expenses expressly provided for in the JSC approved Country/Region ANG2 Commercialization Budget, Territory ANG2 Commercialization Budget and/or HQ Budget to be incurred during such Contract Year are not incurred during such Contract Year, then such budgeted amounts not yet incurred shall be automatically included in the Country/Region ANG2 Commercialization Budget, Territory ANG2 Commercialization Budget and/or HQ Budget, as applicable, for such succeeding Contract Year(s) (as such budgets may be adjusted to include any budgeted amounts not yet incurred from prior Contract Years).   
(d)    Company Responsibility for Commercialization Overruns.  Each such overrun described in clauses (a) and (b) above shall be considered a “Commercialization Overrun” and shall be the sole responsibility of Company, unless such Commercialization Overrun has been approved by both Parties’ representatives on the JSC.
(e)    Development and Commercialization Overruns.  Any such Development Overruns or Commercialization Overruns that are not approved by both Parties’ representatives on the JSC shall not be included in the calculation of the Regeneron Reimbursement Amount, Global True-Up, or Territory Profit Split, as 




72









applicable.  For clarity, the Parties shall share, to the extent provided in this Agreement, Development Costs and Shared Promotion Expenses that are over the budgeted amounts in the Plans up to (but not including) the amounts otherwise triggering a Development Overrun or Commercialization Overrun, as applicable.

11.4    Expert Panel
(a)    In the event of a dispute between the Parties concerning a Technical Development Matter and/or an Audit Dispute that cannot be resolved by the Executive Officers pursuant to Section 4.10(b) (other than a Legal Dispute), either Party may by written notice to the other Party require the specific issue in dispute to be submitted to a panel of experts (“Expert Panel”) in accordance with this Section 11.4.  Such notice shall contain a statement of the issue forming the basis of the dispute, the position of the moving Party as to the proper resolution of that issue and the basis for such position.  For disputes referred to the Expert Panel arising under Section 4.10(a)(iii), 




73









the Expert Panel in resolving the dispute shall balance the relative benefits and harm to each Party from the matter in dispute in connection with the applicable Licensed Product in the Territory and Excluded Territory.  Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, the responding Party shall submit to the moving Party a statement of its conception of the specific issue in question, its position as to the proper resolution of that issue and the basis for such position.
(b)    Within fifteen (15) days of the responding Party’s response, each Party shall appoint to the Expert Panel an individual who (i) has expertise in the pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology industry and the specific matters at issue (or, in the case of an Audit Dispute, expertise in accounting and auditing with respect to the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products), (ii) is not a current or former director, employee or consultant of such Party or any of its Affiliates, or otherwise has not received compensation or other payments from such Party (or its Affiliates) for the past five (5) years and (iii) has no known personal financial interest or benefit in the outcome or resolution of the dispute, and the appointing Party shall give the other Party written notice of such appointment; provided that for such appointment to be effective and for such individual to serve on the Expert Panel, such individual must deliver to the other Party a certificate confirming that such individual satisfies the criteria set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, disclosing any potential conflict and/or bias and certifying that, as a member of the Expert Panel, such individual is able to render an independent decision.
(c)    Within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second expert, the two (2)-appointed experts shall agree on an additional expert who meets the same criteria as described above, and shall appoint such expert as chair of the Expert Panel.  If the Party-appointed experts fail to timely agree on a third expert, then upon the written request of either Party, each Party-appointed expert shall, within ten (10) days of such request, nominate one expert candidate and the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution shall, within ten (10) days of receiving the names of the Parties’ respective nominees, select one of those experts to serve as the chair of the Expert Panel. Each expert shall agree, prior to his or her appointment, to render a decision as soon as practicable after the appointment of the full Expert Panel.
(d)    Within seven (7) days of the appointment of the third expert, the Expert Panel shall hold a preliminary meeting or teleconference with the Parties or their representatives and shall designate a time and place for a hearing of the Parties on the dispute and the procedures to be utilized at the hearing.  The Parties may agree in writing to waive the hearing and have the Expert Panel reach a decision on the basis of written submissions alone.  The Expert Panel may order the Parties to produce any documents and/or information that are relevant to the dispute.  All such documents and/or information shall be provided to the other Party and the Expert Panel as expeditiously as possible but no later than one (1) week prior to the hearing (if any), along with the names of all witnesses who will testify at the hearing and a brief summary of their testimony.  The hearing shall be held in New York, NY, unless otherwise agreed 




74









by the Parties, and shall take place as soon as possible but no more than forty-five (45) days after the appointment of the third expert, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing or the Expert Panel agrees to extend such time period for good cause shown. The hearing shall last no more than one (1) day, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties or the Expert Panel agrees to extend such time period for good cause shown. After the conclusion of all testimony (or if no hearing is held after all submissions have been received from the Parties), at a time designated by the Expert Panel no later than seven (7) days after the close of the hearing or the receipt of all submissions, each Party shall simultaneously submit to the Expert Panel and exchange with the other Party its final proposed resolution.
(e)    In rendering the final decision (which shall be rendered no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Expert Panel of the Parties’ respective proposed resolutions), the Expert Panel shall be limited to choosing a resolution proposed by a Party without modification; provided, however, that in no event shall the Expert Panel render a decision that is inconsistent with the Collaboration Purpose and the Parties’ intentions as set forth in this Agreement.  The agreement of two (2) of the three (3) experts shall be sufficient to render a decision and the Parties shall abide by such decision.
(f)    The decision of the Expert Panel shall be final and binding on the Parties and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.  Each Party shall bear the cost of its appointee to the Expert Panel and the Parties shall share equally the costs of the third expert.  
11.5    No Waiver.  Nothing in this Article XI or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit either Party from seeking and obtaining immediate injunctive or other equitable relief if such Party reasonably believes that it will suffer irreparable harm from the actions or inaction of the other.

All Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred in the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Product Trademark(s) in the Territory shall be shared by the Parties as part of Other Shared Expenses.
12.5    License and Use of the Product Trademark(s), PDGF Trademark(s) and EYLEA Trademark(s).

Regeneron shall utilize the Product Trademark(s), PDGF Trademark(s) and/or EYLEA Trademark(s), if applicable, only on approved Promotional Materials or other approved product-related materials for the Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory for the purposes contemplated herein, and all use by Regeneron or its Affiliates or Sublicensees of the Product Trademark(s), PDGF Trademark(s) and/or EYLEA Trademark(s), if applicable, shall be in accordance with (a) rules established by the JCC and (b) quality standards established by the JCC that are reasonably necessary in order to preserve the validity and enforceability of the Product Trademark(s).  Regeneron agrees that at no time during the Term will it or any of its Affiliates attempt to use or register any trademarks, trade dress, service marks, trade names or domain names confusingly similar to the Product Trademark(s), PDGF Trademark(s) and/or EYLEA Trademark(s), if applicable, or take any other action that damages or dilutes the rights to, or goodwill associated with, the Product Trademark(s), PDGF Trademarks(s) and/or EYLEA Trademark(s), if applicable, in each case, in the Territory.

Each Party shall be entitled to use the PDGF Trademark(s) and the EYLEA Trademark(s) (1) in any manner as specified in the PDGF Agreement or the EYLEA Agreement, as applicable, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and (2) in connection with the Licensed Products for the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory as specified in this Agreement.  Upon request by either Party, the other Party shall (or shall cause its Affiliates, as appropriate, to) execute such documents as may reasonably be required for the purpose of recording with any Governmental Authority the license, or a recordable version thereof, referred to above in this Section 12.5.
12.6    Use of Corporate Names.  Company (through its Affiliates, as appropriate) shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to include Regeneron’s name with equal prominence on materials exclusively related to each Licensed Product in the Field (including, without limitation, package inserts, packaging, trade packaging, samples and all Promotional Materials used and/or distributed in connection with such Licensed Product) in the Major Market Countries, unless to do so would be prohibited under applicable Laws; provided, however, in the case of multi-product materials that refer to a Licensed Product in the Field in the Major Market Countries as well as other pharmaceutical products, the prominence of Regeneron’s name shall be commensurate with the relative prominence of the Licensed Product in such materials.  Each Party grants to the other Party (and its Affiliates) the right, free of charge, to use its name and logo on package inserts, packaging, trade packaging, samples and all Promotional Materials used and/or distributed in connection with the applicable Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory during the Term and to the extent that a Party has a continuing right to use and/or sell existing inventory of Licensed Product and Promotional Materials for a maximum period of three (3) years thereafter with respect to Promotional Materials, package inserts, packaging, labeling, trade packaging and samples solely to the extent necessary to exhaust the existing inventory of Licensed Product and Promotional Materials containing such name and/or logo.

Failure of the receiving Party to object within such thirty (30) day period shall constitute approval of the submitting Party’s package inserts, packaging, trade packaging, etc.
12.7    Trademark Defense.      The Parties shall inform each other of any infringement or threatened infringement of the Product Trademark(s) or of any unfair trade practice, trade dress limitation, passing off of counterfeit goods, or similar offences involving the Licensed Products in the Territory, in the case of Company, or the Excluded Territory, in the case of Regeneron. Each Party shall be authorized to initiate at its own 




77









discretion legal proceedings against any infringement or threatened infringement of the Product Trademark(s) in the Territory, in the case of Company, or the Excluded Territory, in the case of Regeneron, and pay all costs and expenses related thereto. The Party conducting such action shall consider in good faith the other Party’s comments on the initiation, conduct and/or settlement of any such action. Company in the Territory and Regeneron in the Excluded Territory may initiate opposition proceedings and/or trademark cancellation actions and may settle any such proceedings and consent to the registration of a trademark that such Party, in its reasonable judgment, does not believe is confusingly similar to the Product Trademark(s) as determined in accordance with applicable Laws, or which such Party believes is confined to an unrelated field of use. Any such settlement shall be limited to the Territory, in the case of Company, or the Excluded Territory, in the case of Regeneron, unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing.

The Controlling Party shall undertake such filings, prosecutions and maintenance in the names of both Parties as co-owners.  The Controlling Party shall have the following obligations with respect to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Joint Patent Rights in the Territory and the Excluded Territory:  (i) the Controlling Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide the non-Controlling Party with notice and a copy of a substantially completed draft of any priority Patent application at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of any such priority Patent application by the Controlling Party and consider in good faith any comment from the non-Controlling Party; (ii) the Controlling Party shall notify the non-Controlling Party prior to the filing of a Patent application by the Controlling Party; (iii) the Controlling Party shall consult with the non-Controlling Party promptly following the filing of the priority Patent application to mutually determine in which countries it shall file convention Patent applications; (iv) the Controlling Party shall provide the non-Controlling Party promptly with copies of all communications received from or filed in patent offices with respect to such filings; and (v) the Controlling Party shall provide the non-Controlling Party a reasonable time prior to taking or failing to take action that would affect the scope and/or validity of rights under any Joint Patent Rights (including but not limited to substantially narrowing or canceling any claim without reserving the right to file a continuing or divisional Patent application, abandoning any Patent or not filing or perfecting the filing of any Patent application in any country), but in no event less than sixty (60) days prior to the next deadline for any action that may be taken with the applicable patent office, with notice of such proposed action or inaction so that the non-Controlling Party has a reasonable opportunity to review and make comments, and take such actions as may be appropriate in the circumstances.  In the event that the Controlling Party materially breaches the foregoing obligations and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of a written notice from the non-Controlling Party to the Controlling Party describing such breach, or in the event that the Controlling Party fails to undertake the filing of a Patent application within the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days of a written request by the non-Controlling Party to do so and (ii) sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of any period during which the Controlling Party is required to file such Patent application in order to maintain its rights in such Patent application, the non-Controlling Party may assume the Controlling Party’s responsibility for filing, prosecution and maintenance of any such Joint Patent Right, and will thereafter be deemed the Controlling Party for purposes hereof (and will, except as provided in Section 13.2(e), undertake such filings, prosecutions and maintenance in both Parties’ names).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Controlling Party may withdraw from or abandon any Joint Patent Rights on thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the other Party (provided that such notice shall be given no later 




82









than sixty (60) days prior to the next deadline for any action that may be taken with respect to such Joint Patent Rights with the applicable patent office), providing the non-Controlling Party the right to assume the prosecution or maintenance thereof. 
(d)    Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, Company Collaboration Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights pursuant to this Section 13.2, including, without limitation, the execution of all such documents and instruments and the performance of such acts (and causing its relevant employees to execute such documents and instruments and to perform such acts) as may be reasonably necessary in order to permit the other Party to continue any preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, Company Collaboration Patent Rights and/or Joint Patent Rights that such Party has elected not to pursue as provided for in Sections 13.2(a), 13.2(b) or 13.2(c), as applicable.  The JCC, with the approval of the JSC, will determine which of the Company Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights for which to seek an extension of term in the Territory and the applicable Party will file for said patent term extension, and Regeneron will determine which of the Company Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights for which to seek an extension of term in the Excluded Territory and will file for said patent term extension.
(e)    All Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred in the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Company Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights, in each case, in the Territory, and any extensions thereof, pursuant to this Section 13.2 shall be shared by the Parties as part of Other Shared Expenses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Company Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights and Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights (and any extensions thereof) in the Excluded Territory and (ii) the Parties will share equally all costs and expenses incurred in the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Joint Patent Rights (and any extensions thereof) in the Excluded Territory (provided that if a Controlling Party abandons the prosecution and/or maintenance of any Joint Patent Right in the Excluded Territory and the other Party elects to continue the prosecution and maintenance thereof, then such other Party shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of such prosecution and maintenance); provided, however, that if the non-Controlling Party fails to pay its share of all costs and expenses incurred in the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Joint Patent Rights (and any extensions thereof) in the Excluded Territory, such Joint Patent Right shall cease to be a Joint Patent Right and the non-Controlling Party shall assign to the Controlling Party, without additional consideration, all of its right, title and interest in and to such Joint Patent Right in the Excluded Territory.

13.3    Interference, Opposition and Reissue.
(a)    Each Party will notify the other within ten (10) days of receipt by such Party of information concerning the request for, or filing or declaration of, any interference, opposition, post-grant review, inter-partes review, derivation, reissue or reexamination relating to Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, Company Collaboration Patent Rights and/or Joint Patent Rights.  For Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, Company Collaboration Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights in the Territory and for Company Collaboration Patent Rights and/or Joint Patent Rights in the Excluded Territory, the Parties will thereafter consult and cooperate fully to determine a course of action with respect to any such proceeding.  Decisions on whether to initiate or how to respond to such a proceeding, as applicable, and the course of action in such proceeding, including settlement negotiations and terms, will be made (i) with respect to Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights and Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, by Regeneron in consultation with Company, (ii) with respect to Company Collaboration Patent Rights, by Company in consultation with Regeneron and (iii) with respect to Joint Patent Rights, jointly by the Parties.  Regeneron may have certain obligations under Section 12.3 of the Aventis Agreement with respect to any such proceeding described in this Section 13.3(a) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Regeneron shall have the right to comply with its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder.  
(b)    All Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred in connection with any interference, opposition, post-grant review, inter-partes review, derivation, reissue and/or reexamination proceeding relating to the Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, Company Collaboration Patent Rights and/or Joint Patent Rights, in each case, in the Territory pursuant to this Section 13.3 shall be shared by the Parties as part of Other Shared Expenses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with any interference, opposition, reissue and/or reexamination proceeding relating to the Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, and/or Company Collaboration Patent Rights and (ii) the Parties will share equally all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any interference, opposition, reissue and/or reexamination proceeding relating to the Joint Patent Rights in the Excluded Territory.
13.4    Coordination with IP Provisions in the PDGF Agreement and the EYLEA Agreement.  To the extent any Patent and/or invention with respect to a Licensed Product is implicated by both the intellectual property ownership and litigation provisions of this Agreement, the PDGF Agreement and/or the EYLEA Agreement, Article XIII and Article XIV shall govern if such Patent Right and/or invention is related primarily to an ANG2 Product (including, for clarity, a Fixed Combination ANG2 Product), Article XIII and Article XIV of the PDGF Agreement shall govern if such Patent Right and/or invention is related primarily to a PDGF Product and Article XII and Article XIII of the 




84









EYLEA Agreement shall govern if such Patent Right and/or invention is related primarily to EYLEA.
Article XIV 
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LITIGATION


14.1    Enforcement of Patents. 
(a)    In the event that either Party or any of its Affiliates becomes aware of an actual or suspected infringement or unauthorized use, as applicable, of a Company Collaboration Patent Right, a Regeneron Collaboration Patent Right, a Regeneron Licensed Patent Right and/or a Joint Patent Right, in each case, by a Third Party’s activities (an “Infringement”), the Party that became aware of such Infringement shall promptly notify the other Party in writing and shall provide such other Party with all available evidence supporting such Infringement. 
(b)    If the Infringement is with respect to (i) a Company Collaboration Patent Right, a Regeneron Collaboration Patent Right, a Regeneron Licensed Patent Right, and/or a Joint Patent Right in the Field in the Territory, (ii) Joint Patent Rights outside of the Field, (iii) Company Collaboration Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights in the Field in the Excluded Territory or (iv) except as set forth in Section 14.1(d), Company Collaboration Patent Rights outside the Field, as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of such notice, the Parties shall cause the JSC to meet and consider the appropriate course of action with respect to such Infringement.  The Parties shall at all times cooperate, share all material notices and filings in a timely manner, provide all reasonable assistance to each other and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mutually agree upon an appropriate course of action with respect to such Infringement, including, as appropriate, the preparation of material court filings and any discussions concerning prosecution and/or settlement of any such claim.  Regeneron may have certain obligations under Article 13 of the Aventis Agreement with respect to any such Infringement described in this Section 14.1 and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Regeneron shall have the right to comply with its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder.  Final decisions on whether to initiate a proceeding with respect to such Infringement, and the course of action in such proceeding, including whether to prosecute any such Infringement as a defense or counterclaim in connection with any Third Party infringement claims pursuant to Section 14.3 and/or any settlement negotiations and terms, will be made with respect to (i) Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights and Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights in the Field in the Territory, Company Collaboration Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights in the Field in the Excluded Territory, Joint Patent Rights outside the Field and, except as set forth in Section 14.1(d), Company Collaboration Patent Rights outside the Field, by Regeneron in consultation with Company, (ii) Company Collaboration Patent Rights in the Field in the Territory by Company in consultation with Regeneron and (iii) Joint Patent Rights in the Field in the Territory by the Controlling Party in consultation with the other Party.

The non-Lead Litigation Party will provide reasonable assistance to the Lead Litigation Party in prosecuting any action, and if required by Law, will join in the action.  Although the Lead Litigation Party has the right to select counsel of its own choice, it shall first consult with the other Party and consider in good faith the recommendations of the other Party.  Subject to any obligations under any New License and/or Existing License, the amount of any recovery from any such Infringement action (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be retained as follows: (i) for (A) Company Collaboration Patent Rights and/or Joint Patent Rights in the Field in the Excluded Territory, (B) Joint Patent Rights that relate to an ANG2 Product outside the Field in the Excluded Territory and (C) Company Collaboration Patent Rights that relate to an ANG2 Product outside the Field in the Excluded Territory, by Regeneron, and (ii) for (A) Company Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights and/or Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights in the Field in the Territory, (B) Joint Patent Rights in the Field in the Territory, (C) Joint Patent Rights outside the Field in the Territory, (D) Joint Patent Rights that relate to a product that is not an ANG2 Product and (E) except as set forth in Section 14.1(d), Company Collaboration Patent Rights outside the Field in the Territory, shall be shared equally by the Parties; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.1(b), any recoveries for lost sales or profits of a product from any Infringement action hereunder shall be paid solely to or retained solely by the Party that is selling (or has the right to sell) such product.  
(c)    With respect to any actual or suspected Infringement of (i) Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights and Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights outside the Field, (ii) Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights and Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights in the Excluded Territory, and/or (iii) Regeneron Non-Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron shall have sole discretion and control of any actions taken with respect to such Infringement.  Company shall promptly notify Regeneron in writing of any such Infringement of which it or any of its Affiliates becomes aware and shall provide Regeneron with all available evidence supporting such Infringement.  Company shall, at Regeneron’s cost, provide reasonable assistance to Regeneron in prosecuting any action with respect to such Infringement, and if required by Law, will join in the action.  The amount of any recovery from any such Infringement action (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be retained solely by Regeneron, subject to any obligations under any New License and/or Existing License.
(d)    With respect to any actual or suspected infringement of (i) Company Collaboration Patent Rights outside the Field that relate to a product that is not an ANG2 Product and/or (ii) Company Non-Collaboration Patent Rights, Company shall have sole discretion and control of any actions taken with respect to such infringement.  Regeneron shall promptly notify Company in writing of any such infringement of which it or any of its Affiliates becomes aware and shall provide Company with all available evidence supporting such infringement.  Regeneron shall, at Company’s cost, provide 




86









reasonable assistance to Company in prosecuting any action with respect to such infringement, and if required by Law, will join in the action.

All internal and out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Regeneron in connection with any Infringement litigation under Section 14.1(c) and/or any Infringement litigation under Section 14.1(b) with respect to (i) Company Collaboration Patent Rights and/or Joint Patent Rights in the Field in the Excluded Territory, (ii) Joint Patent Rights outside the Field in the Excluded Territory and/or (iii) except as set forth in Section 14.1(d), Company Collaboration Patent Rights outside the Field in the Excluded Territory shall be the responsibility of Regeneron.

(a)    If either Party or its Affiliates becomes aware of an allegation that the Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization of any Licensed Product in the Field under this Agreement infringes or otherwise violates the intellectual property rights of any Third Party, then such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of this allegation.  If such allegation is with respect to Infringement or a violation in the Territory, as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of such notice and at all times thereafter, the Parties shall meet and consider the appropriate course of action with respect to such allegation of infringement.  In any such instance, each Party shall have the right to defend and control the defense of any such action naming it as a defendant at its sole cost and expense, using counsel of its own choice; provided, however, that the Parties shall at all times cooperate, share all material notices and filings 




87









in a timely manner, provide all reasonable assistance to each other and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mutually agree upon an appropriate course of action, including, as appropriate, the preparation of material court filings and any discussions concerning a potential defense or settlement of any such claim; provided further that any counterclaim or defense alleging Infringement (or infringement) shall be governed by Section 14.1. The rights and obligations in this Section 14.3 shall apply even if only one Party defends any claimed infringement action commenced by a Third Party in the Territory claiming that the Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization of any Licensed Product in the Field under this Agreement infringes or otherwise violates any intellectual property rights of any Third Party.  Regeneron may have certain obligations under Article 13 of the Aventis Agreement with respect to any allegation described in this Section 14.3 and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Regeneron shall have the right to comply with its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder.
(b)    Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all Out-of-Pocket Costs (except for the expenses of the non-controlling Party’s counsel, if only one Party defends a claim) incurred in connection with any litigation referred to in this Section 14.3 shall be shared by the Parties as Other Shared Expenses.

Furthermore, neither Party shall enter into any Third Party intellectual property license requiring the payment of royalties or other amounts based on the Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory under this Agreement (or with respect to Company, in the Field in the Excluded Territory) without the other Party’s prior written consent.
(d)    License fees, royalties and other payments under Existing Licenses and New Licenses to the extent attributable to, and based on, the Manufacture of Commercial Supply Requirements and/or the Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory shall be shared by the Parties as Other Shared Expenses.
14.4    Invalidity or Unenforceability Defenses or Actions.
(a)    In the event that a Third Party asserts, as a defense or as a counterclaim in any Infringement action (or infringement action) under Section 14.1, that any Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, Company Collaboration Patent Rights and/or Joint Patent Rights are invalid and/or unenforceable, then the Party first becoming aware of such claim shall promptly give written notice to the other Party.  Subject to the assistance and coordination provisions described in Sections 14.1(b) through 14.1(d), the Party having the final decision-making authority on responding to such defense or defending against such counterclaim (as 




88









applicable), including the right to settle or otherwise compromise such claim, will be made by the Party controlling and/or having final decision-making authority with respect to the Infringement action (or infringement action) as set forth in Sections 14.1(b) through 14.1(d), in consultation with the other Party.  
(b)    If a Third Party asserts, in a declaratory judgment action or similar action or claim filed by such Third Party, that any Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, Company Collaboration Patent Rights and/or Joint Patent Rights, in each case, in the Territory or the Excluded Territory are invalid and/or unenforceable, then the Party first becoming aware of such action or claim shall promptly give written notice to the other Party.  The Party having the final decision-making authority on controlling the defense of such action or claim, including settlement negotiations and terms, will be (i) with respect to Company Collaboration Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights in the Excluded Territory, and Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights and Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, Regeneron in consultation with Company, (ii) with respect to Company Collaboration Patent Rights in the Territory, Company in consultation with Regeneron, and (iii) with respect to Joint Patent Rights in the Territory, the Parties jointly.  Any such Party controlling the defense against any such action or claim in the Territory shall use legal counsel mutually agreeable by the Parties, and the Parties shall at all times cooperate, share all material notices and filings in a timely manner, provide all reasonable assistance to each other and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mutually agree upon an appropriate course of action, including, as appropriate, the preparation of material court filings and any discussions concerning a potential defense or settlement of any such claim.

(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party will enter into any settlement of any suit referenced in this Section 14.4 that materially adversely affects the other Party’s rights and/or obligations with respect to the applicable Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory or the Excluded Territory, including admitting the invalidity and/or unenforceability of any Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, Company Collaboration Patent Rights and/or Joint Patent Rights, and/or the commercialization of any PDGF Product and/or EYLEA in the Field in the Territory or the Excluded Territory without the other Party’s prior written consent.

95









Party seek confidential treatment for such information, if applicable, and provided, further, that the receiving Party provides all reasonable cooperation to assist the disclosing Party to protect such information and limits the disclosure to that information that is required by Governmental Authority, applicable Law (including the rules or regulations of any stock exchange or trading market on which the receiving Party’s (or its parent entity’s) securities are traded) or court order to be disclosed.  Moreover, either Party may use Party Information and New Information to enforce the terms of this Agreement if it gives reasonable advance notice to the other Party to permit the other Party a sufficient opportunity to take any measures to ensure confidential treatment of such information and the disclosing Party shall provide reasonable cooperation to protect the confidentiality of such information; or
(iii)    to the Regulatory Authorities as required in connection with any filing, application or request for Approval of a Licensed Product in the Territory pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such information to the extent practicable and consistent with applicable Law.

(v)    in accordance with Article XX and Schedule 7, Schedule 8 or Schedule 9, as applicable.
17.4    Injunctive Relief.  Each Party acknowledges that damages resulting from breach of this Article XVII or Section 3.7 would not be an adequate remedy and that, notwithstanding the provisions of Article XI, in the event of any such disclosure or any indication of an intent to disclose such Party Information and/or New Information and/or Confidential Property and Information in breach of this Article XVII, or breach of Section 3.7, the Party owning such Party Information (or each Party with respect to New Information) or Regeneron (in the case of Confidential Property and Information) shall be entitled to obtain, by way of private litigation, injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, and/or specific performance in addition to any other rights and/or remedies (which may include reasonable royalties, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 21.15) to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Such other Party shall have a reasonable opportunity to recommend any changes it reasonably believes are necessary (a) to prevent any specific, material adverse effect to it or any Licensed Product as a result of the publication and/or disclosure and/or (b) to enable the Parties to obtain patent protection if either Party deems it necessary (such recommendation of changes to include a description of the specific material adverse effect or patentability issues, as applicable) to which the Publishing Party shall give due consideration and shall not unreasonably reject such comments.  Disputes concerning publication shall be resolved by the JDC (other than Legal Disputes).
17.6    Other Publications or Disclosures.  
(a)    The Parties will mutually agree upon the contents of a joint press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement that shall be issued simultaneously by both Parties on the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without prior submission to or approval of the other Party, either Party may issue press releases and/or public announcements that incorporate information concerning this Agreement and/or any activities contemplated hereunder which information was included in a press release and/or public disclosure that was previously disclosed under the terms of this Agreement and/or that contain only non-material factual information regarding this Agreement and/or  the Collaboration (e.g., that the Collaboration is ongoing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). 
(b)    Except as required by a Governmental Authority or applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or trading market on which a Party’s (or its parent entity’s) securities are traded), or in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, neither Party (or their respective Affiliates) shall disclose to any Third Party, under any circumstances, any financial terms of this Agreement that have not been previously disclosed publicly pursuant to this Article XVII without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; except for disclosures to Third Parties that are bound by obligations of confidentiality and nonuse substantially equivalent in scope to those included herein with a term of at least five (5) years. The Parties, through the Committees, shall establish mechanisms and procedures to ensure that there are coordinated timely corporate communications relating to the Licensed Products in the Field.

99









18.2    Additional Indemnity.
(a)    In the event of any Third Party Claim alleging that the Development and/or Manufacture of any Licensed Product in the Excluded Territory and/or the Territory under this Agreement and/or the Commercialization of any Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory under this Agreement, in each case, infringes a Patent of a Third Party for which neither Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, each Party shall indemnify the other Party for [***********] of all Damages therefrom, and during the Term such Damages shall be treated as Other Shared Expenses; provided, that with respect to any Damages attributable to the Manufacture of Licensed Product in the Excluded Territory, such Damages shall be allocated between the Territory and the Excluded Territory (i) if such Damages are allocable between the Territory and the Excluded Territory pursuant to a formula or mechanism expressly set forth in the applicable settlement agreement or judgment (e.g., as a result of a royalty based on net sales or a flat fee per unit manufactured), then pursuant to such formula or mechanism and (ii) otherwise, as agreed by the Parties and in the absence of agreement, such matter shall be referred to the Executive Officers for resolution pursuant to Section 4.10(b).   
(b)    Without limiting Company’s obligations under Section 18.1(a), Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Regeneron Indemnitees from and against all Damages arising from a Third Party Claim arising from Company’s and/or its Affiliates’ and/or Sublicensees’ Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory, except that Regeneron shall indemnify Company Indemnitees under Section 18.1(b) for all such claims arising from, and to the extent allocable to, the gross negligence, recklessness, bad faith, intentional wrongful acts and/or omissions and/or violations of Law in the performance of this Agreement and/or breach of this Agreement committed by Regeneron and/or any other Regeneron Indemnitee.

100









resulting from, and to the extent allocable to, the negligence, recklessness, bad faith, intentional wrongful acts and/or omissions, and/or violations of Law committed by Third Parties contracted to Manufacture any part of the Clinical Supply Requirements and/or Commercial Supply Requirements pursuant to Article IX; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 18.2(e) limits either Party’s indemnification obligations to the extent any Third Party Claims arise from the negligence, recklessness, bad faith, intentional wrongful acts or omissions, or violations of Law committed directly by the Party that is responsible for contracting with such Third Party Manufacturer(s) pursuant to Article IX.
(f)    In the event that this Agreement terminates pursuant to the terms hereof, Regeneron shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company Indemnitees from and against all Damages arising from or occurring as a result of a Third Party Claim against a Company Indemnitee that is due to or based upon a Licensed Product that is sold, and/or the Development, Manufacture and/or commercialization of such Licensed Product administered, in each case, by or on behalf of Regeneron and/or its Affiliates and/or Sublicensees (other than Company and its Affiliates) solely after the effective date of termination of this Agreement, except that Company shall indemnify Regeneron Indemnitees under Section 18.1(a) for all such claims arising from, and to the extent allocable to, the gross negligence, recklessness, bad faith, intentional wrongful acts and/or omissions and/or violations of Law in the performance of this Agreement and/or breach of this Agreement committed by Company or any other Company Indemnitee.

Immediately upon First Commercial Sale of the first Licensed Product in the Territory, during the Term and thereafter for a period of five (5) years after the expiration of this Agreement or the earlier termination thereof, each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain and maintain (either directly or as a named insured on a Third Party insurance policy or policies), at its sole cost and expense, product liability insurance (including any self-insured arrangements) in amounts, respectively, that are reasonable and customary for comparable products in the pharmaceutical industry for companies of comparable size and activities at the respective place of business of each Party; provided, however, that Regeneron shall not be required to obtain or maintain such insurance in an amount greater than [***********] per incident and in the aggregate.  Such product liability insurance or self-insured arrangements shall insure against personal injury, physical injury and/or property damage arising out of, for Regeneron, the Manufacture of Licensed Products (if applicable) and sale, distribution and marketing of Licensed Products in the Excluded Territory, and for Company, the sale, distribution and marketing of Licensed Products in the Territory.  Any insurance proceeds received by a Party in connection with any Damages shall be retained by such Party and shall not reduce any obligation of the other Party with respect to such Damages.
18.4    Indemnity Procedure.  The Party entitled to indemnification under this Article XVIII (an “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the Party potentially responsible for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) within five (5) Business Days of 




101









becoming aware of any claim or claims asserted or threatened against the Indemnified Party that could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnity obligation hereunder except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices its rights hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification procedures in this Section 18.4 shall not apply to claims for which each Party indemnifies the other Party [***********] of all Damages under the terms of Section 18.2(a).
(a)    If the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party the Indemnifying Party’s responsibility for defending such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense, such claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless (i) such compromise or settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim; and (ii) such compromise or settlement does not (A) include any admission of legal wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, (B) require any payment by the Indemnified Party that is not indemnified hereunder or (C) result in the imposition of any equitable relief against the Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control of the defense of a claim or if a good faith and diligent defense is not being or ceases to be materially conducted by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party of its intent to do so, to undertake the defense of such claim for the account of the Indemnifying Party (with counsel reasonably selected by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Indemnifying Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised of all material developments with respect to such claim and promptly provide the Indemnifying Party with copies of all correspondence and documents exchanged by the Indemnified Party and the opposing party(ies) to such litigation.  The Indemnified Party may not compromise or settle such litigation without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b)    Except as otherwise provided in clause (c), the Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 18.4 and shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall bear such costs and expenses if counsel for the Indemnifying Party shall have reasonably determined that such counsel may not properly represent both the Indemnifying and the Indemnified Party.




102









(c)    Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim pursuant to this Section 18.4, the Indemnified Party shall and shall cause each indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense and/or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.  Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim and making Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and to the extent the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XVIII, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable and verifiable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with providing such assistance.
Article XIX
FORCE MAJEURE


Neither Party will be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party including, without limitation, embargoes, acts of terrorism, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, strikes, riots, civil commotions or acts of God (“Force Majeure”).  Such excuse from liability and responsibility shall be effective only to the extent and duration of the event(s) causing the failure or delay in performance and provided that the affected Party has not caused such event(s) to occur.  The affected Party will notify the other Party of such Force Majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practical and will make every reasonable effort to mitigate the effects of such Force Majeure circumstances.
Article XX
TERM AND TERMINATION


20.1    Term/Expiration of Term. 
(a)    The “Term” of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless this Agreement is earlier terminated as provided hereafter, shall end at such time as neither Party, nor either Party’s Affiliates or Sublicensees, is Developing or Commercializing any Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory under this Agreement and such cessation of Development and Commercialization activities is acknowledged by both Parties in writing to be permanent; provided, that if at any time during the Term Company loses the exclusive legal right to Commercialize Licensed Product in the Field in any Major Market Country, whether due to expiration of Regeneron Collaboration Patent Rights, Regeneron Licensed Patent Rights, Joint Patent Rights or Company Collaboration Patent Rights, or expiration of any statutory marketing 




103









exclusivity period for Licensed Product in such Major Market Country, the Parties shall meet to discuss and attempt to enter into an amendment to this Agreement for the purpose of simplifying the governance structure hereunder.
(b)    Upon expiration of the Term, except as set forth in this Agreement (including Sections 20.7 and 20.8), all licenses and rights granted by a Party to the other Party hereunder shall automatically terminate and revert to the granting Party.
20.2    Termination For Material Breach.  Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 20.2, this Agreement shall be terminable by a Party in its entirety if the other Party commits a material breach of this Agreement.  Such notice of termination shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts underlying or constituting the alleged breach (and specifically referencing the provisions of this Agreement alleged to have been breached), and the termination that is the subject of such notice shall be effective ninety (90) days after the date such notice is given unless the breaching Party shall have cured such breach within such ninety (90)-day period (or, if such material breach, by its nature, is a curable breach but such breach is not curable within such ninety (90)-day period, such longer period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days so long as the breaching Party is using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such breach, in which event if such breach has not been cured at the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, such termination shall be effective on the earlier of the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180)-day period or such time as the breaching Party ceases to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure such breach), provided that (a) the Parties shall meet within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of such notice to the breaching Party to discuss in good faith such alleged breach and (b) in the event the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) Business Days of meeting to discuss such dispute, either Party may require that the matter be submitted to the Executive Officers for resolution, and the Executive Officers shall diligently and in good faith attempt to resolve the referred dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days of receiving such written notification for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days.  Should such Executive Officers fail to resolve the dispute within the appointed time, then, without limiting the foregoing, either Party may pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies available to it under applicable Law, subject to Sections 21.1 and 21.15.   In the case of breach of a payment obligation hereunder, the ninety (90)-day period referred to in the second sentence of this Section 20.2 shall instead be thirty (30) days (and the last parenthetical clause in such sentence shall not apply).  For purposes of this Section 20.2, the term “material breach” shall mean a substantial violation of any material provision of this Agreement that would materially adversely affect the non-breaching Party.  
20.3    Termination for Insolvency.  Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, effective immediately, upon written notice to the other Party, if, at any time, (a) the other Party shall file in any court and/or agency pursuant to any statute and/or regulation of any state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency and/or for reorganization and/or for an arrangement and/or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Party and/or of its assets, (b) the other Party 




104

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Regeneron will have the unilateral right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, effective immediately, upon written notice to Company, if Section 21.16 of this Agreement shall have been breached by Company or any of its Affiliates.  For the avoidance of doubt, Company or its Affiliates will not be deemed to have breached Section 21.16, and Regeneron shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement, as a result of an inadvertent breach of Section 21.16 arising from (a) any discussion with any Third Parties that are initiated by such Third Parties, are not publicly disclosed and do not result in any actions referred to in paragraphs (a) through (g) of Section 21.16 or (b) any informal discussions covering general corporate and/or other business matters the purpose of which is not to effectuate and/or lead to any of the actions referred to in paragraphs (a) through (g) of Section 21.16.
20.5    Termination for Termination of EYLEA Agreement.  In the event that the EYLEA Agreement is terminated for any reason, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the effective date of the termination of the EYLEA Agreement and the provisions of Section 20.7(d) shall apply.  For clarity, the termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not automatically terminate the EYLEA Agreement. 
20.6    Other Termination.  [***********].

112









notwithstanding any such assignment and any such Affiliate or other party to whom this Agreement is assigned shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  Any attempted assignment in violation hereof shall be void.

21.11    Affiliates.  Each Party may, and to the extent it is in the best interests of the Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory shall, perform its obligations hereunder through one or more of its Affiliates.

113

Each Party shall bear its own costs incurred in the performance of its obligations hereunder without charge or expense to the other Party except as provided for in this Agreement.  Neither Company nor Regeneron shall have any responsibility for the hiring, termination or compensation of the other Party’s employees or for any employee compensation or benefits of the other Party’s employees.  No employee or representative of a Party shall have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement for any sum or in any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party without said Party’s approval.

21.15    Limitation of Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL REGENERON OR COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) AND REGARDLESS OF ANY PRIOR NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES.  HOWEVER, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 21.15 IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY HEREUNDER WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. 
21.16    Standstill Agreement.  During the period commencing on the Effective Date and expiring on the date which is five (5) years after the end of the Term, neither Company nor any of its Affiliates (for purposes of this Section 21.16, Company, together with such Affiliates, being referred to as the “Investor”) shall:
(a)    directly or indirectly, acquire beneficial ownership of Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock, or make a tender, exchange or other offer to acquire Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock, if after giving effect to such acquisition (and assuming the conversion of all convertible securities), the Investor would beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) twenty percent (20%) or more of the Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 21.16, if the number of shares constituting Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock is reduced or if the aggregate ownership of the Investor is increased as a result of a recapitalization of Regeneron, Investor shall not be required to dispose of any of its holdings of Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock even though such action resulted in Investor’s ownership totaling twenty percent (20%) or more of the Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock;




114









(b)    directly or indirectly, propose or nominate for election to the Board of Directors of Regeneron any Person whose nomination has not been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of Regeneron, or vote or cause to be voted in favor of such Person for election to the Board of Directors of Regeneron any Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock;

(g)    request or propose that Regeneron or any of Regeneron’s officers or its Board of Directors amend, waive, or consider the amendment or waiver of any provisions set forth in this Section 21.16; or
(h)    enter into discussions, negotiations, arrangements or agreements with any Person relating to the foregoing actions referred to in clauses (a) through (g) above;
provided that the mere voting of any Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock held by the Company shall not constitute a violation of any of clauses (a) through (f) above.
21.17    Termination of Standstill.  Provided Investor has not violated Section 21.16(d), (f) or (h) with respect to the Offeror referred to in this Section 21.17, the restrictions contained in Section 21.16 shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the public announcement by an Offeror of an Acquisition Proposal; (b) the acquisition by an Offeror (other than Dr. Leonard Schleifer or his Affiliates) of beneficial ownership of Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock, which, when combined with all other Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock beneficially owned by the Offeror, represents more than [***********] of the voting power represented by all issued and outstanding Shares of Then Outstanding Capital Stock; (c) the issuance by Regeneron to a Third Party (other than an underwriter in a public offering which promptly distributes such shares to the

21.18    Rejection of Agreement in Bankruptcy.  In the event that this Agreement is rejected by a Party or its receiver or trustee under applicable bankruptcy Laws due to such Party’s bankruptcy, then all rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by such Party to the other Party are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and any similar Laws in any other country in the Territory, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The Parties agree that all intellectual property rights licensed hereunder, including, without limitation, any Patents in any country of a party covered by the license grants under this Agreement, are part of the “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code subject to the protections afforded the non-subject Party under Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and any similar law or regulation in any other country.  The Parties agree that this Agreement shall not be deemed terminated by virtue of any such rejection unless the non-subject Party fails to exercise its rights under Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or its foreign equivalents).  For clarity, if the non-subject Party fails to exercise such rights or such rights are not available in a country outside the United States, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated with respect to such country.  The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against either Party under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provisions in any other country or jurisdiction, if this Agreement is not terminated or deemed terminated, the non-subject Party shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in the non-subject Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it (y) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon the non-subject Party’s written request therefor, unless the Party subject to such proceeding elects to continue and continues to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or (z) if not delivered under clause (y) above, immediately following the rejection of this Agreement by a Party or its receiver or trustee under applicable bankruptcy Laws due to such Party’s bankruptcy upon written request therefor by the non-subject Party.

21.19    Non-Solicitation.  During the Term and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, neither Party shall solicit or otherwise induce or attempt to induce any employee of the other Party directly involved in the Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization of any Licensed Product to leave the employment of the other Party and accept employment with the first Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this prohibition on solicitation does not apply to actions taken by a Party solely as a result of an employee’s affirmative response to a general recruitment effort carried through a public solicitation and/or general solicitation.
21.20    Construction.  Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders and the words “will” and “shall” shall have the same meaning. The term “including,” “include,” or “includes” as used herein shall mean including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term, irrespective of whether such term is used with “without limitation” or “without limiting” throughout this Agreement.  Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, unless otherwise specified, such number refers to calendar days.  The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 1
Manufacturing Cost
“Manufacturing Cost” as used in this Agreement shall mean (a) with respect to any Formulated Bulk Product and/or comparator agent and/or placebos, the Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost and (b) with respect to Finished Product and/or comparator agent and/or placebos, the Cost of Finishing, as provided in this Schedule 1. 
A.    General Principles
1.    Regeneron or its Affiliates shall supply Formulated Bulk Product for Clinical Supply Requirements and Commercial Supply Requirements at the “Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost”, defined and calculated as described in Section B below.
2.    To the extent that a Manufacturing Plan includes the use of Formulated Bulk Product, comparator agent and/or placebos and/or Finished Product that was Manufactured by Regeneron prior to the Effective Date or outside of the Collaboration (whether prior to or after the Effective Date), Regeneron or its Affiliates shall supply such Formulated Bulk Product, comparator agent, placebo and/or Finished Product at its actual average Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost, calculated as described in Section B below, plus the Cost of Finishing, as described in Section C below.  
3.    [***********]  
4.    If a Manufacturing Plan calls for Regeneron or its Affiliates to reserve its facility to Manufacture Formulated Bulk Product and/or comparator agent and/or placebos, including, without limitation, purifying/processing the bulk drug substance, and the Parties subsequently amend the Manufacturing Plan such that the facility is not used as originally set forth therein, then Regeneron shall be reimbursed for what otherwise would have been its Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost as if such facility had been used for Manufacturing as originally required in the Manufacturing Plan, except for such variable costs as are actually avoided and/or mitigated; provided, however, that Regeneron shall not be reimbursed hereunder if such amendment of the Manufacturing Plan has been agreed upon at least twelve (12) months prior to its effective date; provided, further, that Regeneron shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize, avoid and/or mitigate the costs (e.g., by rescheduling production of other customers).
B.    [***********].











    



SCHEDULE 2
Quarterly True-Up
At the end of each Quarter, the Parties will calculate the net payment one Party shall be required to make to the other Party (the “Quarterly True-Up”) equal to (a) the Territory Profit Split for such Quarter (as set forth in Part I), plus (b) the Regeneron Reimbursement Amount for such Quarter (as set forth in Part II), plus or minus (c) the Global True-Up (as set forth in Part III).  In the event that the Quarterly True-Up is an amount greater than zero, such amount shall be payable by Company to Regeneron in accordance with the terms set forth in Article X.  In the event that the Quarterly True-Up is an amount less than zero, the absolute value of such amount shall be payable by Regeneron to Company in accordance with the terms set forth in Article X.  An example of the Quarterly True-Up is shown in Part V.
For clarity, the payment of  any Development Costs and other amounts by a Party to a Proposing Party pursuant to Section 6.3, in each case ((a) through (c)), shall not be subject to the Quarterly True-Up mechanism set forth in Article X and this Schedule 2.  
I.  TERRITORY PROFIT SPLIT
The “Territory Profit Split” shall mean fifty percent (50%) of Territory Profits in a Quarter.  “Territory Profits” shall mean aggregate Net Sales in the Territory in the Quarter less the sum of aggregate COGS and aggregate Shared Promotion Expenses incurred by both Parties in the Territory in the Quarter.  
An example of a calculation of the Territory Profit Split in a Quarter would be:
