 ARTICLE 7 
 NEW INDICATION OR LINE
EXTENSION 
 SOLE RISK SCENARIO 
 7.1 Sole Development. If either Sanofi or BMS wishes to pursue the development of any New Indication or Line Extension, such Party (the “Proposing Party”‘) shall propose such development
to the other Party (the “Other Party”) in the context of the Development Committee. If the Other Party decides not to pursue such development, as evidenced by its negative vote in the Development Committee with respect to such
development and irrespective of whether such Party has the Lead for the Product with respect to which such development is proposed, then the Development Committee shall submit such proposal to the License Steering Committee, which shall decide
whether the Proposing Party may proceed alone with such development. If the License Steering Committee agrees to permit such sole development, the Proposing Party shall be entitled to undertake such development at its sole cost and expense.

 7.2 Commercialization of Resulting Products. If the Proposing Party proceeds alone with such development pursuant to
Section 7.1 hereof, the Proposing Party and the Other Party shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, to grant the rights for the development of such New Indication or Line Extension, as the case may be, to the Proposing Party (with
the right to sub-license to its Affiliates with the consent of the Other Party (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)) solely for the purposes of pursuing such development in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event
the Proposing Party successfully develops such New Indication or Line Extension, the Proposing Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, solely the SNC Partnership shall have the right to commercialize
such New Indication or Line Extension in Territory A and (ii) such commercialization shall be fully subject to and performed in accordance with the decisions and recommendations of the Alliance Strategic Committee, the License Steering
Committee and the Functional Committees in accordance with this Agreement and the Alliance Support Agreement. 
 7.3 [*]. In the event
of such sole development, the Proposing Party shall be entitled to receive [*] for such development equal to [*], which shall be [*] payable to such Party pursuant to Article 5 hereof. In the event that the Finance Committee cannot agree upon a
method of [*], including the [*] under Section [*] hereof, 

  

 * CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN FILED 
 SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION 









 
 13
 
  

 
the Proposing Party and the Other Party shall [*]. The [*], and the fees and expenses of [*] shall be [*]. 
 7.4 Election to Participate in Development. The Other Party may reverse its election not to pursue such development, by Notice to the Proposing
Party, at any time prior to the registration of such New Indication or Line Extension in the first country in Territory A in which registration is made, subject to the reimbursement of [*] of [*] costs incurred by the Proposing Party with respect to
such New Indication or Line Extension as of the date on which such Notice is made. In the event of such reimbursement, the Proposing Party and the Other Party shall thereafter share [*] costs incurred after the date on which such Notice is made with
respect to such development, and the [*] set forth in Section [*] hereof shall be [*] by [*], from [*] to [*]of Net Sales of such Product in Territory A attributable to such New Indication or Line Extension; provided, however, that only the
Proposing Party shall be entitled to [*]. 
 7.5 Period of Exclusivity. If the development undertaken by the Proposing Party results
in (i) an additional period of legal and de facto exclusivity for either Product as a whole or (ii) the issuance of a new patent for such New Indication or Line Extension developed through such development resulting in legal and
de facto exclusivity for such New Indication or Line Extension, then the Proposing Party also shall be entitled to [*] for additional development determined by the Finance Committee, which shall not be less than [*] nor more than [*] of Net
Sales of such Product in Territory A attributable to the New Indication or Line Extension. [*] shall be payable in accordance with Article 5 hereof (x) after the date legal or de facto exclusivity of such Product would otherwise have
ended until the date on which the legal or de facto exclusivity obtained as a result of the sole development terminates (whichever terminates first), in the case referred to in clause (i) above, and (y) during the life of the
relevant patent, in the case referred to in clause (ii) above. This [*] shall not exceed [*] of Net Sales of such Product in Territory A, even if the conditions in both clauses (i) and (ii) above are satisfied, and shall not be
reduced even if the Other Party exercises its right under Section 7.4 hereof to reverse its election not to participate in such development. 
 7.6 Safety and Other Problems. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 7 or in Section 7.05(b) of the Alliance Support Agreement, if either Sanofi or BMS determines that the development of a New Indication or
Line Extension should be suspended for a safety reason that it believes in good faith justifies such suspension, or reasonably believes that such development would have a material adverse effect on the overall development of Irbesartan or
Clopidogrel, as the case may be, or the overall commercial viability of the resulting Product(s), such Party shall have the unilateral right to veto the development by the other Party of such New Indication or Line Extension.
