ARTICLE 3

GOVERNANCE
3.1Executive Steering Committee.
(a)Establishment.  Within 30 days following the Effective Date, MannKind and United Therapeutics shall establish an Executive Steering Committee (the “ESC”) to oversee the activities of the Parties under this Agreement.  
13.






(b)Membership.  The ESC shall be composed of six members, three of whom shall be nominated by MannKind and three of whom shall be nominated by United Therapeutics, which members shall be employees of the applicable Party with the requisite experience and seniority to make decisions on behalf of the Parties with respect to issues within the jurisdiction of the ESC.  MannKind and United Therapeutics shall designate their respective initial members of the ESC within 30 days after the Effective Date.  Each Party may change its ESC members at any time by written notice to the other Party.  United Therapeutics shall have the right to designate the chair of the ESC.
(c)Meetings.  The ESC will hold meetings at such frequency as determined by the ESC members, but no less than once per Calendar Quarter until receipt of Marketing Approval for the Initial Product. Such meetings may be conducted by videoconference, teleconference or in person, as agreed by the Parties; provided, that at least one ESC meeting per year shall be held in person and the location of such in-person meeting shall alternate between MannKind’s and United Therapeutics’ offices, unless the Parties otherwise agree.  Each Party may invite a reasonable number of non-member, non-voting representatives of such Party to attend meetings of the ESC.  Minutes will be kept of all ESC meetings and will reflect material decisions made at such meetings.  The responsibility to prepare minutes of ESC meetings will alternate between MannKind and United Therapeutics.  Meeting minutes will be sent to each member of the ESC for review and approval promptly following each meeting.  Minutes will be deemed approved unless a member of the ESC objects to the accuracy of such minutes within 15 days of receipt.  Any costs and expenses incurred by a Party related to a ESC meeting, including, if applicable, travel and/or telecommunication expenses, shall be borne by such Party.
(d)Responsibilities.  The ESC shall have the following responsibilities:  
(i)reviewing and approving any material changes to a Development Plan;
(ii)providing a forum for the Parties to exchange Data and information and to coordinate their respective activities with respect to development, regulatory and manufacturing matters pertaining to Product; 
(iii)receiving periodic updates on material development and regulatory activities conducted with respect to Product in the Territory, including the submission and prosecution of applications for Marketing Approval;
(iv)providing a forum for the Parties to discuss and coordinate regarding the forecasting, manufacture and supply of Product, and any regulatory activities with respect thereto;
(v)providing a forum for coordinating the Parties’ activities in response to crises with respect to Product, including unexpected disruptions to the supply of Product, safety issues, and recalls or withdrawals of Product;
(vi)resolving all disputes referred to the ESC by working groups responsible for the sub-plans of the Development Plan; and 
(e)Decision-Making and Dispute Resolution.  For clarity, the ESC is intended primarily to be a consultative body with its decision making authority limited to the approval of material changes to the Development Plan (including the constituent development sub-plans).  All decisions within the authority of the ESC shall be made by unanimous vote or 
14.






written consent, with the MannKind members of the ESC collectively having one vote and the United Therapeutics members of the ESC collectively having one vote in all decisions of the ESC.  The members of the ESC shall use reasonable efforts to reach agreement on all matters.  If, despite such efforts, agreement on a particular matter cannot be reached by the ESC within 10 days after the ESC first considers such matter (or such shorter or longer time as may be agreed by the Parties), then either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, have such matter referred to, on behalf of MannKind, the Chief Executive Officer of MannKind and, on behalf of United Therapeutics, the Chief Executive Officer of United Therapeutics.  Such executives shall use reasonable efforts to resolve the matter referred to them within 10 days after such referral.  If, despite such efforts, such executives are unable to resolve such matter within 10 days after such referral (or such shorter or longer time as may be agreed by the Parties), then, the chair of the ESC shall have the right to make the final decision with regard to the disputed matter following good faith consideration of MannKind’s comments, provided that the chair of the ESC shall not have power to resolve a dispute:  (i) in a manner that would require MannKind to perform activities which materially exceed the scope of, or are materially different in nature with respect to, the activities MannKind has agreed to perform under the Development Plan or has otherwise agreed in writing to perform; (ii) by overriding MannKind’s rights under this Agreement; or (iii) by unilaterally determining that it has fulfilled any diligence obligations hereunder.  For all purposes under this Agreement, any decision made pursuant to this Section 3.1(e) shall be deemed to be the decision of the ESC.
(f)Working Groups of the ESC.  Promptly following its establishment, the ESC shall establish two working groups, one to oversee the performance of the CMC development activities (“CMC Working Group”) and one to oversee the performance of the manufacturing technology transfer (“Mfg Technology Transfer Working Group”). These working groups shall periodically review their applicable activities within the Initial Development Plan and develop detailed and specific sub-plan updates as needed, which shall be submitted to the ESC for review and approval.  In addition, each Party may submit requested modifications to such sub-plans to the ESC, which the ESC will reasonably consider.  From time to time, the ESC may establish additional working groups as necessary to oversee particular projects or activities added to the Development Plan, as it deems necessary or advisable.  Each working group shall consist of such number of representatives of each Party as the ESC determines is appropriate from time to time and shall meet with such frequency as the ESC shall determine.  All decisions of each working group shall be made by unanimous vote or written consent, with the MannKind members of the working group collectively having one vote and the United Therapeutics members of the working group collectively having one vote in all decisions of the working group.  If, with respect to a matter that is subject to a working group’s decision-making authority, the working group cannot reach agreement, the matter shall be referred to the ESC, which shall resolve such matter in accordance with Section 3.1(e). 
3.2Scope of Governance.  Notwithstanding the creation of the ESC, each Party shall retain the rights, powers and discretion granted to it hereunder, and the ESC shall not be delegated or vested with rights, powers or discretion unless such delegation or vesting is expressly provided herein, or the Parties expressly agree in writing.  The ESC shall not have the power to amend or modify this Agreement, and no decision of the ESC shall be in contravention of any terms and conditions of this Agreement.  It is understood and agreed that issues to be formally decided by the ESC are only those specific issues that are expressly provided in this Agreement to be decided by the ESC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 3.1(e), any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement or any alleged breach of this Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the terms of Article 14.

(d)Commercialization Outside the United States.  In the event that United Therapeutics determines that it will make no commercialization efforts with respect to Product in one or more Major Market Countries outside of the United States, either through its own endeavors or through those of its Affiliates and sublicensees, MannKind shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to United Therapeutics during the Term, to exclude one or more of such Major Market Countries (the “Excluded Countries”) from the Territory.  Such exercise shall be effective only if MannKind provides a written plan reasonably satisfactory to United Therapeutics demonstrating that MannKind or its Affiliates will establish the necessary infrastructure and commercial capabilities to commercialize Product in the Excluded Countries in coordination with United Therapeutics’ efforts in the Territory.  In the event that MannKind exercises its option to reduce the Territory as described in this Section 5.1(d), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of such commercialization of Product by MannKind or its Affiliates in the Excluded Countries, which amendment shall include the payment by MannKind to United Therapeutics of royalties on the net sales of Product in the Excluded Countries equal to the amount of royalties specified in Section 6.3 of this Agreement.

25.






MannKind shall issue an invoice for the amount stated by United Therapeutics to be payable to MannKind in such Royalty Report, and payment shall be due to MannKind by United Therapeutics within [***] days of its receipt of such invoice.  
7.2Payment Method.  All payments under this Agreement shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account in the name of MannKind designated in writing by MannKind.  Payments hereunder will be considered to be made as of the day on which they are received by MannKind’s designated bank.

Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, all amounts specified to be payable under this Agreement are in United States Dollars and shall be paid in United States Dollars.  Net Sales in the Territory invoiced in currency other than United States Dollars, as appropriate, shall be translated to United States Dollars using the exchange rate utilized by United Therapeutics in calculating its own revenues for financial reporting purposes.
7.4Taxes. 
(a)Cooperation and Coordination.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual objective and intent to minimize, to the extent feasible, taxes payable with respect to their collaborative efforts under this Agreement and that they shall use their reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate with each other to achieve such objective.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties expect that only United Therapeutics shall be responsible for the annual fee on prescription drug manufacturers imposed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Pub. L. No. 111-148 (as amended) as a result of the sale of Products.  
(b)Payment of Tax.  A Party receiving a payment shall pay any and all taxes levied on such payment.  If Applicable Laws require that taxes be deducted and withheld from a payment, the remitting Party shall (i) deduct those taxes from the payment; (ii) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority; and (iii) send evidence of the obligation together with proof of payment to the other Party within 60 days following that payment. 
7.5Records.  United Therapeutics shall keep, and require its Affiliates to keep, complete, true and accurate books of accounts and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable to MannKind pursuant to this Agreement.  Such books and records shall be kept for such period of time required by Applicable Laws, but no less than three years following the end of the Calendar Quarter to which they pertain.  Such records shall be subject to inspection in accordance with Section 7.6.  
7.6Audits.  Upon not less than 60 days’ prior written notice, United Therapeutics shall permit an independent, certified public accountant selected by MannKind and reasonably acceptable to United Therapeutics, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (for the purposes of this Section 7.6, the “Auditor”), to audit or inspect those books or records of United Therapeutics and its Affiliates and sublicensees (to the extent United Therapeutics has the contractual right to audit and inspect the books and records of sublicensees) that relate to Net Sales and Royalty Reports for the sole purpose of verifying the:  (a) royalties payable hereunder in respect of Net Sales; and (b) withholding taxes, if any, required by Applicable Laws to be deducted as a payment by United Therapeutics in respect of such Net Sales.  The Auditor will disclose to MannKind only the amount and accuracy of payments reported and actually paid or otherwise payable under this Agreement.  The Auditor will send a copy of the report to United Therapeutics at the same time it is sent to MannKind.  Such inspections may be made no more than once each Calendar Year and during normal business hours.  Such records for any particular Calendar Quarter shall be subject to no more than one 
26.






inspection.  The Auditor shall be obligated to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior to commencing any such inspection.  Inspections conducted under this Section 7.6 shall be at the expense of MannKind, unless a variation or error producing an underpayment in amounts payable exceeding 5% of the amount paid for a period covered by the inspection is established, in which case all reasonable costs relating to the inspection for such period and any unpaid amounts that are discovered shall be paid by United Therapeutics.  The Parties will endeavor in such inspection to minimize disruption of United Therapeutics’ normal business activities to the extent reasonably practicable.   
7.7Late Payments.  In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not made when due, the payment shall accrue interest from the date due at a rate per annum equal to the U.S. Prime Rate (as set forth in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition) for the date on which payment was due, calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year, or similar reputable data source; provided that, in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate.  The payment of such interest shall not limit the Party entitled to receive such payment from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.
ARTICLE 8

CONFIDENTIALITY
8.1Confidential Information.
(a)General.  Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the Parties agree that the receiving Party (the “Receiving Party”) shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose or use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement or any other written agreement between the Parties any confidential or proprietary information and materials, patentable or otherwise, in any form (written, oral, photographic, electronic, magnetic, or otherwise) which is disclosed to it by or on behalf of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) including all information concerning Product and any other technical or business information of whatever nature (collectively, “Confidential Information”).

(e)disclosure to Affiliates, contractors, employees, agents, consultants,  licensees or sublicensees who need to know such information in connection with development, manufacturing, regulatory and commercialization activities with respect to Product as contemplated by this Agreement. provided that in each case the recipients of such Confidential Information are subject to confidentiality and non-use obligations consistent in scope with those set forth in this Article 8; and; and  
(f)in communication with existing and potential investors, consultants, advisors (including financial advisors, lawyers and accountants) and others on a need to know basis in order to further the purposes of this Agreement; provided that in connection with such disclosure, the Disclosing Party shall inform each disclosee of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and cause each disclosee to treat such Confidential Information as confidential.
In the event the Receiving Party is required to make a disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 8.3(c) or (d), it shall promptly notify the other Party of such required disclosure and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, or to assist the other Party in obtaining, a protective order or confidential treatment limiting or preventing the required disclosure, and disclose only the minimum information necessary for such disclosure; provided 
28.






that such Confidential Information disclosed accordingly shall only lose its confidentiality protection for purposes of such disclosure.  
8.4Confidentiality of this Agreement and its Terms.  Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8, each Party agrees not to disclose to any Third Party terms of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, except that each Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement, which are not otherwise made public as contemplated by Section 8.5, as permitted under Section 8.3.
8.5Public Announcements.
(a)Press Releases.  As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Parties will issue a joint press release announcing the existence of this Agreement.  Except as required by Applicable Laws, including disclosure requirements of the SEC, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party or its Affiliates are traded, neither Party shall make any other public announcement concerning this Agreement or the subject matter hereof without the prior written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that it shall not be unreasonable for a Party to withhold consent with respect to any public announcement containing any of such Party’s Confidential Information.  In the event of a required public announcement, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, the Party making such announcement shall provide the other Party with a copy of the proposed text of such announcement sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release to afford such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text.  
(b)Filing of Agreement.  The Parties will coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the filing of this Agreement (including redaction of certain provisions of this Agreement) with the SEC, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange or governmental agency on which securities issued by a Party or its Affiliate are traded, and each Party will use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for the terms proposed to be redacted; provided, that each Party will ultimately retain control over what information to disclose to the SEC, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange or governmental agency, as the case may be, and provided further that the Parties will use their reasonable efforts to file redacted versions with any governing bodies which are consistent with redacted versions previously filed with any other governing bodies.  Other than such obligation, neither Party (nor its Affiliates) will be obligated to consult with or obtain approval from the other Party with respect to any filings to the SEC, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange or governmental agency.
8.6Publication of the Product Information.  Prior to a Party publishing, publicly presenting, and/or submitting for written or oral publication a manuscript, abstract or the like that includes Information or Data relating to any Product that has not been previously published, such Party shall provide to the other Party a draft copy thereof for its review at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of submission or presentation (unless such Party is required by Applicable Laws to publish such information sooner, in which case such Party shall provide such draft copy to the other Party as much in advance of such publication as possible).  The publishing or presenting Party shall consider in good faith any comments provided by the other Party during such 30-day period and any such publication shall be subject to the limitations of Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3.  In addition, the publishing Party shall, at the other Party’s request, remove therefrom any Confidential Information of such other Party.  The contribution of each Party shall be noted in all publications or presentations by acknowledgment or co-authorship, whichever is appropriate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any publication, presentation or submission thereof 
29.






by a Third Party clinical collaborator, clinical site or academic or government run non-clinical site, including investigators within such institutions, to which a Party delegates the performance of non-clinical, pre-clinical or clinical research, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the delegating Party’s agreement with such Third Party to the extent inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Section 8.6.

As of the Effective Date, the terms of this Article 8 shall supersede any prior non-disclosure, secrecy or confidentiality agreement between the Parties (or their Affiliates) dealing with the subject of this Agreement, including without limitation the Confidentiality Agreement.  Any information disclosed under such prior agreements shall be deemed disclosed under this Agreement.
8.8Equitable Relief.  Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that a party would suffer upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the parties agree that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 8.  In addition to all other remedies, a party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 8.

Reg. 46191 (September 10, 1991) and any amendments thereto or any analogous laws or policies in the Territory.

ARTICLE 11

INDEMNIFICATION
11.1Indemnification of MannKind.  United Therapeutics shall indemnify and hold harmless each of MannKind and its Affiliates and the directors, officers, shareholders and employees of such entities and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “MannKind Indemnitees”), from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of litigation) (“Losses”) from any claims, actions, suits or proceedings brought by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claims”) incurred by any MannKind Indemnitee, arising from, or occurring as a result of:  (a) the development, manufacture, use, handling, storage, sale, other disposition, marketing, promotion or commercialization of Product by United Therapeutics or its Affiliates as contemplated by this Agreement; (b) gross negligence or willful misconduct of United Therapeutics or its Affiliates and (c) any material breach of any representations, warranties or covenants by United Therapeutics under Article 10 or Section 4.9 of this Agreement; except to the extent such Third Party Claims fall within the scope of the indemnification obligations of MannKind set forth in Section 11.2.  
11.2Indemnification of United Therapeutics.  MannKind shall indemnify and hold harmless each of United Therapeutics and its Affiliates and the directors, officers, shareholders and employees of such entities, and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the 
39.






“United Therapeutics Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses from any Third Party Claims incurred by any United Therapeutics Indemnitee, arising from, or occurring as a result of: (a) the development of Product by MannKind or its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date or during the Development Term as contemplated by this Agreement; (b) gross negligence or willful misconduct of MannKind or its Affiliates; (c) any material breach of any representations, warranties or covenants by MannKind under Article 10 or Section 4.9 of this Agreement; and (d) the Specified Matters, except to the extent such Third Party Claims (excluding Third Party Claims in relation to the Specified Matters) falls within the scope of the indemnification obligations of United Therapeutics set forth in Section 11.1.
11.3Procedure.  A party that intends to claim indemnification under this Article 11 (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Third Party Claim, in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall have sole control of the defense and/or settlement thereof.  The indemnity arrangement in this Article 11 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim, if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under this Article 11 if and to the extent the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby.  The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim covered by this indemnification.

ARTICLE 12
TERM AND TERMINATION
12.1Term.  This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, and unless terminated earlier as provided in this Article 12, shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to Section 12.2, 12.3,  12.4 or 12.5 (the “Term”).  
12.2Termination by the Parties.  The Parties may terminate this Agreement in its entirety before the end of the Term as follows:
(a)by mutual written agreement of the Parties;
(b)upon written notice by a Party to the other Party if such other Party is in material breach of this Agreement and has not cured such breach within 90 days (10 days with respect to failure to pay any undisputed payment) after written notice from the terminating Party describing the breach and requesting that it be cured.  Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such 90 day (10 day with respect to failure to pay any undisputed payment) period unless (i) the breaching Party has cured any such breach or default prior to the end of such period, or (ii) the Party alleged to be in breach of this Agreement disputes such breach within such ninety (90) day period, in which case the non-breaching Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement unless it has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Article 14 that this Agreement was materially breached, and the 
40.






breaching Party fails to comply with its obligations hereunder within ninety (90) days after such determination; or 
(c)upon the bankruptcy or insolvency, or the filing of an action to commence insolvency proceedings against the other Party, or the making or seeking to make or arrange an assignment for the benefit of creditors of the other Party, or the initiation of proceedings in voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, or the appointment of a receiver or trustee of such Party’s property that is not discharged within 90 days.
12.3Additional United Therapeutics Termination Rights.  
(a)United Therapeutics shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to (i) a Development Plan or (ii) any particular Product, at any time for any reason or for no reason upon delivery of at least 90 days’ prior written notice to MannKind.
(b)United Therapeutics shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to the Effective Date immediately upon notice to MannKind if any of MannKind’s representations and warranties contained in Article 10 become untrue in any material respect or if MannKind fails to deliver the Closing Certificate to United Therapeutics as contemplated by Section 15.16. 
12.4Change of Control. If a Change of Control of United Therapeutics is publicly announced and is reasonably anticipated to result in (a) a material reduction in Net Sales of Product or (b) access to Manufacturing Information by a Third Party with very competitive products or pipelines to MannKind’s products (each, a “Subject Change of Control”), then United Therapeutics agrees that, in order to minimize the adverse impact to MannKind caused by such Subject Change of Control, United Therapeutics shall promptly inform MannKind thereof and in good faith endeavor to agree with MannKind about how to continue the development, manufacturing and commercialization of Product and/or put reasonable measures in place to prevent access to Manufacturing Information. If United Therapeutics and MannKind cannot reach an agreement about how to continue the development, manufacturing and commercialization of Product according to this Agreement, then MannKind shall have the right, effective upon the Subject Change of Control of United Therapeutics, to terminate this Agreement; provided that there shall be no termination right under this Section 12.4 if both (i) reasonable measures are put in place to prevent access to Manufacturing Information and (ii) clause (a) above does not apply.
12.5Additional MannKind Termination Right.  MannKind shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to United Therapeutics if United Therapeutics or any of its Affiliates directly, or indirectly through any Third Party, commences any interference or opposition proceeding with respect to, challenges the validity or enforceability of, or opposes any extension of or the grant of a supplementary protection certificate with respect to, any MannKind Patent.
ARTICLE 13

EFFECT OF TERMINATION
13.1Accrued Obligations.  The expiration or termination of this Agreement, in whole or part, for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability or deprive either Party of any right which, at the time of such expiration or termination, has already accrued to such Party or which is attributable to a period prior to such expiration or termination, nor will any expiration 
41.






or termination of this Agreement preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, with respect to breach of this Agreement.
13.2Rights on Termination Other than Termination By United Therapeutics for Cause.  This Section 13.2 shall apply upon the termination of this Agreement by agreement of the Parties under Section 12.2(a), by MannKind pursuant to Section 12.2(b) or (c), Section 12.4 or Section 12.5 or by United Therapeutics pursuant to Section 12.3(a).  In the event of a termination by United Therapeutics pursuant to Section 12.3(a) for a particular Product, this Section 13.2 shall apply only to such terminated Product:
(a)Wind-down Period.
(i)Development.  In the event there are any on-going clinical trials of Product in the Territory, at MannKind’s request in writing, United Therapeutics agrees:  (A) the Parties shall work together in good faith to adopt, and United Therapeutics shall have the final decision-making authority with respect to, a plan to wind-down any such clinical trials in an orderly fashion at United Therapeutics’ expense, with due regard for patient safety and the rights of any subjects that are participants in any clinical trials of Product and take any actions it deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to avoid any human health or safety problems and in compliance with all Applicable Laws, or (B) to the extent so requested by MannKind, to promptly transition to MannKind or its designee such clinical trials then being conducted by United Therapeutics, or portions thereof, for MannKind or its designee to complete at their expense.  If United Therapeutics shall continue to conduct any such clinical trials, it shall do so in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If MannKind elects to have United Therapeutics transition the clinical trial(s) to MannKind or its designee, MannKind shall reimburse United Therapeutics for the out-of-pocket costs incurred by United Therapeutics in carrying out such transfer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.2(a)(i), in no case shall United Therapeutics be obligated to pursue or support the activities described in this Section 13.2(a)(i) for a period exceeding 6 months after the date of notice of such termination.  
(ii)Commercialization.  United Therapeutics and its Affiliates shall continue, to the extent that United Therapeutics and its Affiliates continue to have stocks of usable Product, to fulfill orders received from customers for Product in the Field in the Territory until up to 180 days after the effective date of termination.  For clarity, United Therapeutics shall have no obligation to continue to market and promote the Product after the termination is effective.  For Product sold by United Therapeutics after the effective date of a termination (i.e., after the expiration of the applicable termination notice period), United Therapeutics shall continue to pay royalties on Net Sales pursuant to Section 6.3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, United Therapeutics and its Affiliates shall cease such activities in the Territory upon 60 days written notice given by MannKind at any time after the effective date of a termination requesting that such activities (or portion thereof) cease.  In the case of a termination of this Agreement in its entirety, within 30 days after MannKind has given notice to United Therapeutics requesting the cessation of activities pursuant to the provision of this Section, United Therapeutics shall notify MannKind of an estimate of the quantity of Product and its shelf life remaining in United Therapeutics’ inventory and MannKind shall have the right to purchase any such quantities of Product from United Therapeutics at a price mutually agreed by the Parties.  To the extent MannKind does not purchase such quantities, United Therapeutics may sell such quantities during the 180 days after the effective date of such termination within the shelf life remaining for Product.
42.






(b)Assignment of Filings and Marketing Approvals.  At MannKind’s option, which shall be exercised by written notice to United Therapeutics, to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, United Therapeutics shall assign or cause to be assigned to MannKind or its designee (or to the extent not so assignable, United Therapeutics shall take all reasonable actions to make available to MannKind or its designee the benefits of) all Regulatory Filings (including the Data incorporated therein and Marketing Approvals) for Product in the Territory, including any such Regulatory Filings made or owned by its Affiliates.  MannKind shall notify United Therapeutics before the effective date of termination, whether the Regulatory Filings should be assigned to MannKind or its designee, and if the latter, identify the designee, and provide United Therapeutics with all necessary details to enable United Therapeutics to effect the assignment (or availability).  If MannKind fails to provide such notification prior to the effective date of termination, United Therapeutics shall assign the Regulatory Filings to MannKind.
(c)Transition.  The Parties shall negotiate in good faith a written transition agreement pursuant to which the Parties would effectuate this Section 13.2 to coordinate the transition of relevant obligations and rights to MannKind as necessary to develop, manufacture and commercialize Product in the Territory to ensure no interruption of therapy or coverage for patients, including promptly submitting all necessary filings with Governmental Authorities.  United Therapeutics shall use its reasonable efforts to cooperate with MannKind or its designee to effect a smooth and orderly transition in the development, manufacturing, sale and marketing, promotion and commercialization of Product in the Territory during the notice and the Wind-down Period.  Without limiting the foregoing, United Therapeutics shall use its reasonable efforts to conduct, in an expeditious manner, any activities to be conducted under this Section 13.2.  MannKind shall use diligent efforts to identify and finalize an agreement or other arrangement with a Third Party in relation to Product or, to the extent MannKind is able to take over such activities under Applicable Laws, take over, directly or through an Affiliate, all activities related to Product in the Territory, and in particular development activities on-going at the time of the effective date of the termination and the transfer of the Regulatory Filings (including the Data incorporated therein and Marketing Approvals) into the name of MannKind or MannKind’s designee so that the Wind-down Period will be as limited as possible.  On terms to be further clarified in the written transition agreement, United Therapeutics shall use its reasonable efforts to (i) supply API to MannKind until MannKind can establish and qualify a new supplier of API and (ii) maintain its Government Health Care Program Contracts for the Product bearing the United Therapeutics National Drug Codes (“NDCs”) during the Wind-down Period, provided that in no event shall United Therapeutics be obligated to supply API to MannKind for a period longer than six months from the date notice of termination was given.  Reasonably in advance of the date upon which MannKind or its designee begins commercialization of the Product, the Parties shall coordinate to permit MannKind to establish such agreements, and United Therapeutics shall provide to MannKind (or its designee) all information reasonably necessary to allow MannKind to report government pricing and comply with Applicable Laws. During the Wind-down Period, United Therapeutics shall work with MannKind and the applicable Government Health Care Programs to transition the Product from United Therapeutics’ Government Health Care Program Contracts for the Product bearing the United Therapeutics NDC to MannKind’s Government Health Care Program Contracts for the Product bearing the MannKind NDC (or the NDC of MannKind’s designee) as necessary.  The transition agreement shall further clarify the Parties’ respective financial obligations as to allocation of any rebates, chargebacks, or Branded Prescription Drug Fees accrued with respect to Product sold or dispensed during the Wind-down Period (provided, however, that United Therapeutics shall remain solely liable for such payments as may be accrued, but not yet paid, as of the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement).
