Executive Officer of Theravance and either the Chairman of GSK R&D (if the issue relates to a discovery and/or development matter) or the Chief Executive Officer of GSK (or one of his direct reports designated by him) (if the issue relates to a commercial matter) (collectively, the “Officers”) for resolution.  The Parties accept that the use of the Officers for resolution of any unresolved issues will be on an exceptional basis.  In the event that the use of the Officers occurs on more than two occasions in any consecutive twelve (12) month period and such disputes are not related to Commercial Conflict issues, then GSK will from then on retain the final vote within the Joint Steering Committee for all issues other than Commercial Conflict.  If the Officers are unable to reach consensus within thirty (30) days after the matter has been referred to them, the final decision on such disputed issue will reside with GSK; provided, however, that if the disputed issue involves [***], then the final decision will be made by binding arbitration (“Arbitration”).  Either Party can initiate Arbitration on [***] to the other Party.  The Arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, except that notwithstanding those rules, the following provisions shall apply to the Arbitration hereunder.

 

(i)                                     Panel.  The Arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators (the “Arbitration Panel”) in [***].  The Arbitration Panel shall consist of one arbitrator selected by each of the Parties from a pool of arbitrators to be presented to the Parties by AAA from the AAA’s National Roster.  Each of these two arbitrators shall have expertise in pharmaceutical product Development and Commercialization, and these two arbitrators shall jointly select the chairman from a pool of arbitrators to be presented to the Parties by AAA from the AAA’s National Roster.

 

(ii)                                  Process.  The time periods set forth in the AAA rules shall be followed, unless a Party can demonstrate to the Arbitration Panel that the urgency of the dispute or other reasons warrant contraction of one or more of the timetables.  For good cause shown, the Arbitration Panel may contract such timetables.  Within such time frames, each Party shall have the right to conduct such discovery as would be permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.  Interpretation of and enforcement of this Section 3.2.5(b) shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.  The Arbitration Panel shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence to the hearing.  The fees of the Arbitration Panel and AAA shall be paid by the losing Party, which shall be designated by the Arbitration Panel or in such proportions as may be designed by the Arbitration Panel where a Party does not prevail with respect to all issues.

 

(iii)                               Confidentiality.  The Arbitration proceeding shall be confidential and the Arbitration Panel shall issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard each Party’s Confidential Information.  Except as required by Law, no Party shall make (or instruct the Arbitration Panel to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the Arbitration Panel without prior written consent of each other Party.  The existence of a dispute submitted to

Arbitration, and the outcome, shall be kept in confidence by the Parties and the Arbitration Panel except as, in the opinion of either Party’s counsel, may be required by Law.

 

(iv)                              Findings of Arbitration Panel. The decision of the Arbitration Panel will be final and binding on the Parties; provided that either Party shall retain all rights to bring an action against the other for damages and other monetary relief related to or arising out of the issue decided by the Arbitration Panel.”

 

4.                                      Material and Tech Transfer; Development.  Article 4 of the Agreement shall not apply to the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products and instead the Parties agree as follows:

 

4.1                               Delivery of Supplemental MABA Alliance Products.  As soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within [***] after the Effective Date of this Amendment, Theravance shall deliver to GSK existing stock of each Supplemental MABA Alliance Product as well as the Supplemental MABA Technology Transfer Package.  For the avoidance of doubt, Theravance’s delivery of material and information pursuant to this Section 4.1 constitutes the entirety of Theravance’s information and material delivery obligations with regard to the Supplemental MABA Alliance Program, and Theravance shall be responsible for no further research or development of the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products thereafter provided that in the event that Theravance does obtain any further information in respect of the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products, it shall promptly disclose such information to GSK.

(i)                                     GSK hereby agrees to exercise Diligent Efforts to move one Supplemental MABA Alliance Product forward in Development provided always that it is understood and hereby acknowledged by the Parties that any GSK decision to pursue Development of a Combination Supplemental MABA Alliance Product as against a single agent Alliance Product (or vice versa) and/or a certain Supplemental MABA Alliance Product as opposed to any other Supplemental MABA Alliance Product shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a breach of GSK’s Diligent Efforts obligations under the Agreement or this Amendment.  GSK shall have the overall responsibility for, and use Diligent Efforts in, the performance of all such Development activities which shall include, where applicable, relevant regulatory filings (as contemplated under Article 8 of the Agreement) for any such Supplemental MABA Alliance Product(s) moved forward in Development.  Further, GSK shall use Diligent Efforts to advance such Supplemental MABA Alliance Product(s) through Development in accordance with the Go/No-Go checkpoints identified in the then-current Development Plan for such Supplemental MABA Alliance Product. GSK shall also use Diligent Efforts to develop an optimal formulation of such Supplemental MABA Alliance Product.  As of the Effective Date of this Amendment, GSK shall bear all subsequent costs and expenses associated with the Development of any Supplemental MABA Alliance Product.

 

(ii)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, it is each Party’s intention that [***] such time as [***] from the MABA Alliance Program or the Supplemental MABA Alliance Program; [***] Theravance Compounds in the MABA Alliance Program and the Supplemental

4.3                               Decisions with Respect to Supplemental MABA Alliance Products.

 

(i)                                     GSK shall have the sole discretion with respect to Development decisions for Supplemental MABA Alliance Products subject to and in accordance with Sections 3.2.5 and 3.3.5 of the Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, and Section 4.2 of this Amendment.

 

(ii)                                  GSK will provide the Joint Program Committee with (i) a notification within thirty (30) days of the initiation (i.e. the first person dosed) of any Study involving a Supplemental MABA Alliance Product, and (ii) a “top line results” report within [***] following the last person dosed/last visit in any Study involving a Supplemental MABA Alliance Product.

 

4.4                               Development Timelines.  It is hereby acknowledged that the Parties’ mutual strategic objective is to move one Supplemental MABA Alliance Product into Development at the earliest opportunity ([***]), to initiate and undertake clinical Development of at least one Supplemental MABA Alliance Product having regard to progress made with respect to the MABA Alliance Product currently in clinical Development and to move at least one MABA Alliance Product or one Supplemental MABA Alliance Product into subsequent Commercialization at the earliest opportunity.  GSK will consult with the Joint Program Committee and will share, modify and further develop all applicable Development Plans and timelines in that forum.  GSK will use Diligent Efforts to secure the necessary resources and will keep the Joint Program Committee informed on the progress of individual studies and activities relating to Supplemental MABA Alliance Products in accordance with Section 3.2.3 of the Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

 

4.5                               Activity Outside of the Alliance.

6.2                               Milestones.  Except as otherwise set forth below, Section 6.2 of the Agreement shall not apply to the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products and instead the following Development milestone payment terms shall apply:

 

(i)                                     In further consideration for the acquisition of license rights relating to the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products under the Theravance Patents and Theravance Know-How, GSK shall also pay to Theravance the payments set forth below for each such Development milestone achieved (each, a “Supplemental MABA Development Milestone”); provided always that each such payment shall be made only one time upon the first achievement of such Supplemental MABA Development Milestone by the first Supplemental MABA Alliance Product, regardless of how many times such Supplemental MABA Development Milestones are achieved by one or more Supplemental MABA Alliance Products and regardless of whether the Supplemental MABA Alliance Product is a single-agent or a Combination Supplemental MABA Alliance Product, and no payment shall be owed for a Supplemental MABA Development Milestone which is not achieved (except that, upon achievement of a Development Milestone for a particular Supplemental MABA Alliance Product, any previous Development Milestone for that Supplemental MABA Alliance Product for which payment was not made shall be deemed achieved and payment therefore shall be made).

(ii)                                  GSK’s valuation of the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products does not meet the size-of-transaction threshold for reporting under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

 

8.3                               Additional Theravance.  Theravance further represents and warrants and covenants to GSK as of the Effective Date of this Amendment that:

(v)                                 Theravance will not at any time during the Term disclose to any Third Party(ies) and/or publish in the public domain any proprietary and secret Theravance Know-How relating to the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products that is proprietary and secret as of the Effective Date of this Amendment.

 

8.4                               The Parties hereby agree to amend and restate Section 11.4 of the Agreement with respect to all Alliance Products and Supplemental MABA Alliance Products as follows:

8.5                               Notwithstanding the definition of the term “Alliance Product” in the Agreement, “Alliance Product” shall include the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products in Section 11.5.

 

9.                                      Indemnification; Patents and Inventions.

Amendment and (ii) reference to Article 14 (in Section 13.6) shall refer to Article 14 of the Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

 

9.2                               For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the fourth sentence of the second paragraph of Section 13.1, GSK shall reimburse Theravance for all reasonable expenses incurred from the Effective Date to the Effective Date of this Amendment in connection with OUS patent applications corresponding to the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products.

 

9.3                               the proviso to Section 13.1.5 of the Agreement shall be taken to refer also to GSK’s proprietary *Gemini* technology.

 

10.                               Termination.

 

10.1                        Notwithstanding the definition of the term “Alliance Product” in the Agreement, “Alliance Product” shall include the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products in Sections 14.1 and 14.2 of the Agreement; provided, however, that GSK may terminate the Development and Commercialization of the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products pursuant to Section 10.2 of this Agreement.

 

10.2                        GSK Right to Terminate Development and Commercialization of the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products.  GSK shall have the right to terminate Development or Commercialization of any or all Supplemental MABA Alliance Products on a country-by-country basis upon the provision of ninety (90) days written notice to Theravance.  In the event of termination of the Supplemental MABA Alliance Program under this Section 10.2, each Supplemental MABA Alliance Product shall be a “Terminated Respiratory Development Alliance Product” or “Terminated Respiratory Commercialized Alliance Product” (as the case may be) which GSK shall return to Theravance pursuant to Section 14.5.2(b) or 14.5.3(b), respectively, of the Agreement and Theravance shall be entitled to develop and commercialize all compounds from such programs outside of the Alliance alone or with a Third Party.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 10.2 do not affect the rights of GSK to terminate Development of the MABA Alliance Program pursuant to Section 14.3 of the Agreement or, after First Commercial Sale of the MABA Alliance Product, to terminate Commercialization of the MABA Alliance Program pursuant to Section 14.4 of the Agreement.

 

10.3                        Notwithstanding the definition of the term “Alliance Product” in the Agreement, “Alliance Product” shall include the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products in Sections 14.5.1, 14.5.2(b), 14.5.3(b), and 14.6 through 14.8 of the Agreement; provided, however, that:

 

(i)                                     In Section 14.5.2(b) of the Agreement, any Supplemental MABA Alliance Product shall constitute an “alternative Respiratory Development Alliance Product” for any other Supplemental MABA Alliance Product or for any Theravance Compound in the MABA Alliance Program;

 

(ii)                                  The final sentence of Section 14.5.2(b)(iv) is hereby amended to replace “Terminated Respiratory Commercialized Alliance Product” with “Terminated Respiratory Development Alliance Product” and the Parties agree that “GSK Property” shall also include GSK’s proprietary *Gemini* technology;

(iii)                               Section 14.5.2(b)(vii) shall not apply to the Supplemental MABA Alliance Products, but it shall continue to apply to the Theravance Compound in the MABA Alliance Program;

 

(iv)                              In Section 14.5.3(b) of the Agreement, any Supplemental MABA Alliance Product shall constitute an “alternative Respiratory Alliance Product” for any other Supplemental MABA Alliance Product or for any Theravance Compound in the MABA Alliance Program; and

 

(v)                                 In Section 14.7 of the Agreement, in the context of Supplemental MABA Alliance Products, the reference to Section 6.2 of the Agreement shall instead refer to Section 6.2 of this Amendment.

 

10.4                        Notwithstanding the definition of the term “Alliance Program” in the Agreement, “Alliance Program” shall include the Supplemental MABA Alliance Program in Article 14.

 

11.                               Reversion Programs.  Notwithstanding Section 4.2.2 of the Agreement regarding the timing and process pursuant to which GSK may exercise its Opt-In Right with respect to the two remaining non-respiratory Additional Discovery Programs (the AT1 Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor (ARNI) program and the Monoamine Reuptake Inhibitor (MARIN) program) (collectively, the “Remaining Additional Discovery Programs”), GSK hereby releases Theravance from the Diligent Efforts and funding obligations set forth in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 of the Agreement with respect to the Remaining Additional Discovery Programs, irrevocably waives its Opt-In Right with respect to the Remaining Additional Discovery Programs and designates each such program a Reversion Program effective upon the Effective Date of this Amendment.  Accordingly, on the Effective Date of this Amendment each of the Remaining Additional Discovery Programs shall revert in full to Theravance and Theravance shall be entitled to pursue development and commercialization of all compounds from such programs outside the Alliance alone or with a Third Party.

 

12.                               Investor Relations Planning.  As of the Effective Date of this Amendment, the Parties shall have agreed upon a public communications plan regarding this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby.

The obligation of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of the following condition (the “Supplemental MABA Closing Condition”):  All filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and any other similar laws that are necessary in any jurisdiction with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby shall have been made and any required waiting period under such laws shall have expired or been terminated and any Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction with an applicable mandatory pre-closing waiting period that has power under or authority to enforce such laws shall have, if applicable, approved, cleared or decided neither to initiate proceedings or otherwise intervene in respect of the transaction contemplated hereby nor to refer the transaction to any other competent Governmental Authority.  Each Party shall use good faith efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Party in doing,

all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transaction contemplated by this Amendment, including, but not limited to satisfaction of the Supplemental MABA Closing Condition and each Party shall keep the other Party reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of same.  In connection with the foregoing, the Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to make any such filing(s), if applicable, within five (5) business days of the Effective Date of this Amendment.  In connection with the foregoing, the Parties hereby agree to negotiate in good faith to make as soon as practicable any modification or amendment to this Amendment that is required by the United States Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice or equivalent Governmental Authority, provided that no Party shall be required to agree to any modification or amendment that, in the reasonable opinion of such Party’s external legal or financial counsel, would be adverse to such Party. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon written notice any time after December 31, 2011 if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been consummated by December 31, 2011 due to failure to satisfy the Supplemental MABA Closing Condition; provided, however, that the terminating Party shall not have breached in any material respect its obligations under this Amendment in any manner that shall have been the proximate cause of, or resulted in, the failure to satisfy the Supplemental MABA Closing Condition or otherwise to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Amendment by such date.

 

14.                               Entire Agreement.  This Amendment and the Agreement constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof.

 

15.                               Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed, and the respective rights of the Parties determined, according to the substantive law of the State of Delaware notwithstanding the provisions governing conflict of laws under such Delaware law to the contrary, except matters of intellectual property law which shall be determined in accordance with the intellectual property laws relevant to the intellectual property in question.  Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of said Court in respect of any claim relating to the validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Amendment, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding in which any such claim is made that it is not subject thereto or that such action suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts, or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts.

 

16.                               Severability.  In the event of the invalidity of any provisions of this Amendment or if this Amendment contains any gaps, the Parties agree that such invalidity or gap shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Amendment.  The Parties will replace an invalid provision or fill any gap with valid provisions which most closely approximate the purpose and economic effect of the invalid provision or, in case of a gap, the parties’ presumed intentions.  In the event that the terms and conditions of this Amendment are materially altered as a result of the preceding sentences, the Parties shall renegotiate the terms and conditions of this Amendment in order to resolve any inequities.  Nothing in this Amendment shall be interpreted so as to require any Party to violate any applicable laws, rules or regulations.

 

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