Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that GSK demonstrates sufficient cause, giving due consideration to each of the Parties’ resources, to support the conduct of an additional inspection pursuant to this Section 3.9 within the same calendar year, the Parties shall discuss in good faith whether to require such additional inspection to take place; provided that Amicus may not unreasonably withhold its consent to such an inspection.

3.10.3                   If GSK assigns this Agreement to an Affiliate and GSK or its Affiliate becomes liable to withhold any taxes from payments under this Agreement, then GSK or its Affiliate shall pay to Amicus the full amount of any payment required to be paid, unreduced by any withholding tax and shall pay any amount owed to the relevant tax authority; provided, however, that to the extent Amicus is able to obtain credit for any taxes withheld against Amicus’ tax liability and actually realizes a reduction in its tax liability as a result of the utilization of such credit, Amicus shall refund to GSK the amount of such net tax savings, as determined in the reasonable discretion of Amicus.

 

3.10.4                   All sums payable under this Agreement are exclusive of value added tax and any other sales taxes.  The Parties agree that, where appropriate, the Parties shall provide each other

Subject to the foregoing obligations of GSK, during the GSK Wind-Down Period, GSK may transfer any remaining inventory of Terminated Product(s) from the Affected Area to a country within the GSK Territory for which GSK’s rights with respect to such Product(s) have not been terminated.  Within ****** following the expiration of the GSK Wind-Down Period, GSK shall notify Amicus of any quantities of Terminated Product(s) for the Affected Area remaining in GSK’s or its Affiliates’ inventory and Amicus shall have the option, upon notice to GSK, to repurchase any such quantities of the Terminated Product(s) from GSK at a price equal to GSK’s Manufacturing Costs.  If Amicus so elects to purchase any remaining quantities of Terminated Product(s) from GSK as set forth herein, GSK will transfer to Amicus such quantities of inventory of Terminated Products.  If Amicus does not elect to purchase any such remaining quantities of inventory of Terminated Products, GSK may transfer any such remaining inventory of Terminated Product(s) to a country within the GSK Territory for which GSK’s rights with respect to such Product(s) have not been terminated.

 

14.3.10    Regulatory Filings.  Following termination of this Agreement by Amicus pursuant to Section 13.2 or by GSK pursuant to Section 13.3, at Amicus’ written election, which shall be exercised by written notice to GSK, GSK will assign and transfer (or cause to be assigned and transferred) to Amicus or its designee (or to the extent not so assignable, GSK shall take all reasonable action to make available to Amicus or its designee) the benefits of all regulatory submissions and filings and marketing approvals (including all INDs, MAAs and Marketing Approvals) related to the Compound or the Terminated Product(s) in the Affected Area, including such regulatory submissions and registrations made or owned by GSK’s Affiliates and Sublicensees; provided that GSK may retain a copy of all such regulatory submissions and filing and marketing approvals and shall retain a right of reference to all such regulatory submissions, filings, and marketing approvals, for use in connection with the non-Terminated Product(s) and in the non-terminated countries of the GSK Territory.  In each case, unless otherwise required by any applicable Law, GSK shall use all reasonable efforts to make such foregoing assignment (or availability), within ****** after the effective date of any such termination (or, with respect to any such regulatory filings pertaining to an Ongoing Trial that GSK is continuing to conduct pursuant to Section 14.3.4 above, within ****** after the completion of such Ongoing Trial), provided,  however, that in the event that GSK is unable to make such assignment or to make such regulatory filings available to Amicus within ****** after the effective date of any such termination (or the completion of such Ongoing Trial, as applicable) due to factors beyond GSK’s reasonable control,

14.3.12    Sublicensees.  Any contracts with Sublicensees with respect to a Terminated Product in the Affected Area engaged by GSK, other than GSK’s Affiliates and JCR, shall be assigned to Amicus, solely to the extent such contracts related to the Terminated Product in the Affected Area and to the extent GSK has the right to do so and Amicus so requests.  In the event such assignment is not requested by Amicus or GSK does not have the right to do so, then the rights of such Sublicensees with respect to the Terminated Product in the Affected Area shall terminate upon termination of GSK’s rights with respect to the applicable Terminated Product(s) in the Affected Area.  GSK shall ensure that its Affiliates and such Sublicensees (if not assigned to Amicus pursuant to this Section 14.3.12) shall transition all Terminated Products in the Affected Area back to Amicus in the manner set forth in this Section 14.3 as if such Affiliate or Sublicensee were named herein.

(c)           As between the Parties, Parties shall promptly negotiate and implement any appropriate amendments to the safety data exchange agreement described in Section 5.2.6(a) as customary and necessary under such circumstances to clearly define each Party’s role with respect to pharmacovigilance and adverse event reporting in the Territory following such termination; and

14.5        Rights upon Termination for Bankruptcy.  Notwithstanding the bankruptcy of Amicus, or the impairment of performance by Amicus of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of bankruptcy or insolvency of Amicus as described in Section 13.4, upon the termination of this Agreement by GSK pursuant to Section 13.4, GSK will be entitled to retain all rights and licenses granted to GSK by Amicus under this Agreement.

The Parties agree that GSK, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.  The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Amicus under the Bankruptcy Code, GSK will be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and same, if not already in its possession, will be

The provisions of this Section 14.5 shall apply mutatis mutandis to Amicus in the event of any bankruptcy or insolvency of GSK as described in Section 13.4.

 

14.6        Return of Materials.  No later than ****** after the expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety, each Party shall return or cause to be returned to the other Party (or, at such other Party’s request, destroy and certify such destruction) all Confidential Information received from the other Party and all copies thereof that are in such Party’s possession, as well as all biological or chemical materials delivered or provided by the other Party; provided, however, that each Party may retain one (1) copy of such Confidential Information received from the other Party for record purposes.

102

 

Commercialization of any Compound and Products by GSK, its Affiliates, Sublicensees, or subcontractors in the GSK Territory; (b) any material breach of any representations, warranties or covenants by GSK in Articles 8.1 and X above; (c) activities relating to the Manufacture of any Compound or Products by GSK, its Affiliates, Sublicensees, or subcontractors for distribution in the GSK Territory or the Amicus Territory; and/or (d) ******; in each case except to the extent such Third Party Claims fall within the scope of Amicus’ indemnification obligations set forth in Section 15.2 below or result from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a Amicus Indemnitee.  For the avoidance of doubt, Product Liability Claims are not subject to this Section 15.1 and are governed by the provisions of Section 15.4 below.

 

15.2        Indemnification of GSK.  Amicus shall indemnify and hold harmless each of GSK, its Affiliates and Sublicensees and the directors, officers and employees of GSK, its Affiliates and Sublicensees and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “GSK Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Liabilities from any Third Party Claims incurred by any GSK Indemnitee, to the extent arising from, or occurring as a result of (a) activities relating to the Development or use of any Compound and Products by Amicus, its Affiliates, sublicensees or subcontractors in the Territory, and relating to Commercialization of any Compound and Products by Amicus, its Affiliates, sublicensees or subcontractors in the Amicus Territory; (b) any material breach of any representations, warranties or covenants by Amicus in Article 8.1 and X above; or (c) activities relating to the Manufacture of any Compound or Products (other than the Co-Formulation Product) by Amicus, its Affiliates, sublicensees, or subcontractors; in each case except to the extent such Third Party Claims (i) fall within the scope of GSK’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 15.1 above or (ii) result from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of an GSK Indemnitee.  For the avoidance of doubt, Product Liability Claims are not subject to this Section 15.2 and are governed by the provisions of Section 15.4 below.

 

15.3        Procedure.  A Party that intends to claim indemnification under this Article XV (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of the assertion or the commencement of Third Party Claim and will provide the Indemnitor such information with respect thereto that the Indemnitor may reasonably request.  The Indemnitor shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its expense.  If the Indemnitor shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15.3, the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim.  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 not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article XV unless the delay or failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action.  The Indemnitee under this Section 15.3 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.

15.4        Product Liability.

 

15.4.1                   Each Party shall notify the other Party as promptly as practicable if any Third Party Claim is commenced or threatened against such Party alleging product liability, product defect, design, packaging or labeling defect, failure to warn or any similar action relating to the use or safety of Compound and Products (a “Product Liability Claim”).  For clarity, a Product Liability Claim will not be deemed to include any Third Party Claims relating to a Manufacturing defect of Compound and Products and Sections 15.1 and 15.2 shall apply to any such Third Party Claims.

 

15.4.2                   To the extent that either the GSK Indemnitees or the Amicus Indemnitees incur, suffer, or are faced with any Product Liability Claims with respect to a Product, then ******.

 

15.4.3                   GSK shall have the right to control and appoint lead counsel for the defense of any such Product Liability Claims in the GSK Territory and to settle any such Product Liability Claims, in its discretion, provided that GSK shall reasonably consult with and consider the input of Amicus with respect to such matters.  Amicus shall have the right to control and appoint lead counsel for the defense of any such Product Liability Claims in the Amicus Territory and to settle any such Product Liability Claims, in its discretion, provided that Amicus shall reasonably consult with and consider the input of GSK with respect to such matters

 

15.5                        Insurance.  In addition to its duty to indemnify, each Party will procure product liability insurance in commercially reasonable amounts in view of its activities.  Alternatively, either Party may establish a program of self insurance for the same risks.  In either event, as reasonably requested in writing by the other Party not more than once every twelve (12) months, each Party will supply the other Party with evidence of such coverage during the time any Product is being Developed, Manufactured or Commercialized by such Party or any of its Affiliates, sublicensees, designees or agents.

 

15.6                        Disclaimer of Consequential Damages.  IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER AMICUS OR GSK BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING UNDER OR AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT (OR THE TERMINATION HEREOF) INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE LOSS OF PROSPECTIVE PROFITS OR ANTICIPATED SALES.

 

15.7                        Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption.

 

15.7.1                   Amicus acknowledges that it has received and read GSK’s ‘Prevention of Corruption — Third Party Guidelines’ (attached at Exhibit D and incorporated herein by reference).  Each Party agrees to perform its obligations under the Agreement in accordance with the applicable anti-corruption laws of the territory in which such Party conducts business with the other Party as set forth therein.

 

15.7.2                   Each Party shall be entitled to exercise its termination right under and in accordance with the terms of Section 13.2 to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2 above immediately on written notice to the other Party, if the other Party fails to perform its

104

 

obligations in accordance with Section 15.7.1 or 10.1.1 (to the extent such failure to perform solely relates to a violation of applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws as set forth therein).  Neither Party shall have a claim against the other Party for compensation for any loss of whatever nature by virtue of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 15.7.  To the extent (and only to the extent) that the laws of the territory provide for any such compensation to be paid to a Party upon the termination of this Agreement, each Party hereby expressly agrees (to the extent possible under the laws of the territory) to waive or to repay to the other Party any such compensation or indemnity.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that nothing in this Section 15.7.2 shall be deemed to limit a Party’s obligations to pay the applicable milestones, royalties and other amounts set forth in Article XIV following any termination of this agreement in accordance with this Section 15.7.

 

XVI.                     MISCELLANEOUS

16.2                        Dispute Resolution.

 

16.2.1                   The Parties agree that with respect to any disputes arising with respect to the interpretation, breach, enforcement, termination or validity of this Agreement (for the purposes of this Section 16.2, each a “Dispute”), the Dispute shall first be presented to the Chief Executive Officer of Amicus and the GSK Chairman of Research and Development, or their respective designees for resolution.  If the Amicus Chief Executive Officer and GSK Chairman or Research and Development, or their respective designees, cannot resolve the Dispute within ****** of the request to do so, either Party may initiate arbitration proceedings with respect thereto as provided in Section 16.2.2 below.  Prior to the establishment of an arbitration tribunal, Amicus and GSK shall each have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for appropriate interim or provisional relief, as necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party.

demand for arbitration.  The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall select a third (3rd) arbitrator as the chair of the arbitral tribunal within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If any arbitrator is not appointed within the time limit provided herein, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, striking, and ranking procedures in the Rules.  Any arbitrator appointed by the AAA shall be an attorney with no less than fifteen (15) years of experience with commercial cases and an experienced arbitrator, who shall, if practicable, have substantial experience with transactions or disputes related to the field of pharmaceutical products and/or, if applicable, intellectual property.

 

16.2.3                   In the case of any Dispute which may be submitted to arbitration hereunder, the procedures of this Section 16.2.3 shall apply.  Arbitration with respect to all such Disputes shall be a “baseball” type arbitration, meaning that, following all permitted discovery and in accordance with procedures otherwise determined by the arbitrator, each Party shall prepare and submit to the arbitrator and the other Party a written report setting forth its final position with respect to the substance of the dispute, and each party may submit a revised report and position within 15 (fifteen) days of receiving the other party’s report.  The arbitrator shall then select one of the Party’s positions as his or her final decision and shall not have authority to render any substantive decision other than to so select the position of either GSK or Amicus.  The Parties and the arbitrator shall use all reasonable efforts to complete any such arbitration with respect to a Dispute within ninety (90) days.

 

16.2.4                   The arbitral tribunal is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary, multiple or similar damages with respect to any Dispute.  Any arbitration proceedings, decision, or award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect, and interpretation of this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.  The decision of the arbitral tribunal shall be in writing and, if applicable, shall state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.  The decision of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon the Parties regarding the applicable Dispute presented to the arbitral tribunal.  Judgment upon the decision of the arbitral tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The arbitration proceedings and the decision of the arbitral tribunal shall not be made public without the joint consent of the Parties and each Party shall maintain the confidentiality of such proceedings and decision unless each Party otherwise agrees in writing; provided that either Party may make such disclosures as are permitted for Confidential Information of the other Party under Article XI above.  The Parties agree that they shall share equally the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, and the cost of the arbitral tribunal and administrative fees of the AAA.  Each Party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ and witnesses’ fees and associated costs and expenses.  The arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the Parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court.

16.6                        Further Assurances.  The Parties will execute and deliver any further or additional instruments or documents and perform any acts which may be reasonably necessary in order to effectuate and carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

 

16.7                        Waivers.  The waiver by either Party of a default or a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other Party will not operate or be construed to operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or breach.  The continued performance by either Party with knowledge of the existence of a default or breach will not operate or be construed to operate as a waiver of any default or breach.  Any waiver by a Party of a particular provision or right will be in writing, will be as to a particular matter and, if applicable, for a particular period of time and will be signed by such Party.

 

16.8                        Effect of Restatement; Entire Agreement.  From and after the Restatement Effective Date, this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto), the Prior Equity Agreement, the Equity Agreement, the Trademark License Agreement (to be entered into in accordance with Section 2.5) and the Pharmacovigilance Agreement (including as amended or replaced in accordance with Section 5.2.6(c)) (in each case, if and when executed by the Parties) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede and replace all prior agreements and negotiations with respect to such subject matter from and after the Restatement Effective Date, including the Original Agreement (other than with respect to the Equity Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the Original Agreement which such agreement shall continue in effect in accordance with its terms following the Restatement Effective Date).

Amicus Therapeutics and GlaxoSmithKline Expand Fabry Disease Collaboration

 

Companies Jointly to Develop Proprietary Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) for Fabry Disease Co-Formulated with Migalastat HCl Chaperone

 

Fabry Products to be Commercialized by Amicus in U.S. and by GSK ex-U.S.

 

GSK to Increase Ownership in Amicus to 19.9% with $18.6

Million Investment in Common Stock Priced at $6.30 per share

 

CRANBURY, NJ, US & LONDON, UK, July 17, 2012  — Amicus Therapeutics (Nasdaq: FOLD) and Glaxo Group Limited (GSK) today announced an expansion of their collaboration to develop and commercialize the investigational pharmacological chaperone migalastat HCl for Fabry disease.

 

The expanded alliance comprises three components:

 

·                  Co-development of all current and future formulations of migalastat HCl for Fabry disease, including a co-formulation of migalastat HCl with GSK/JCR Pharmaceutical’s investigational enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for Fabry disease;

·                  Commercialization arrangements for all future Fabry products. Amicus will have commercial rights to all Fabry products in the United States and GSK will commercialize all products in the rest of world; and

·                  Increased GSK ownership in Amicus with $18.6 million investment in common stock priced at $6.30 per share, bringing GSK’s total ownership stake in Amicus to 19.9%.

 

“We have strengthened our relationship with Amicus through the expanded Fabry collaboration and additional equity investment in the Company,” said Marc Dunoyer, Global Head of GSK Rare Diseases and a member of the GSK Corporate Executive Team. “Amicus has a very successful track record as our development partner, long-standing relationships with the Fabry community and we look forward to their leadership in the U.S. commercialization of now several potential new medicines for patients with Fabry disease. This is an important step in our strategic vision, allowing us to undertake and fund an enlarged scientific program with a view to turning molecules into medicines for rare diseases faster and more effectively than ever before.”

 

The global Fabry collaboration combines Amicus’ U.S. presence, pharmacological chaperone development expertise, and established relationships in the rare and orphan disease community with GSK’s global rare disease unit and worldwide regulatory, commercial, and manufacturing capabilities. Amicus and GSK are now committed to the parallel development of three different uses of migalastat HCl for Fabry disease:

 

******                           - Material has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission.

 

 

·                  Migalastat HCl monotherapy in Phase 3: Phase 3 global registration studies (Study 011 and Study 012) are currently underway in patients with genetic mutations that are amenable to chaperone monotherapy. Results from Study 011 are anticipated in the third quarter of 2012 to support a New Drug Application submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If approved, Amicus will be responsible for the U.S. commercial launch.

 

·                  Migalastat HCl co-administered with ERT in Phase 2: A Phase 2 study of migalastat HCl co-administered with ERT for Fabry disease (Study 013) is currently ongoing. In January 2012, Amicus announced positive preliminary results from Study 013.

 

·                  Migalastat HCl co-formulated with a proprietary preclinical ERT: Amicus and GSK, in collaboration with Japan-based JCR Pharmaceuticals, are developing migalastat HCl co-formulated with a proprietary recombinant human alpha-Gal A enzyme (JR-051). This ERT was developed by JCR and licensed to GSK for all markets outside Japan. Preclinical studies conducted by Amicus, GSK and JCR suggest that this chaperone-ERT co-formulation may provide greater alpha-Gal A enzyme uptake into tissue uptake and markedly reduced levels of GL-3 in Fabry disease-relevant tissues compared to recombinant enzyme alone. Amicus and GSK believe that this co-formulated chaperone-ERT for Fabry disease has the potential to enter clinical studies in 2013. Further details of this program and preclinical results will be presented on today’s conference call and webcast.

 

John F. Crowley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Amicus said, “GSK has added significant value to the Fabry program through its global scale and capabilities as well as the dedicated focus of GSK Rare Diseases. Through our expanded agreement, GSK is increasing its investment in the Fabry development program and Amicus is transforming into a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company within the U.S. Amicus is leveraging this chaperone-ERT platform to advance migalastat HCl in multiple potential uses for patients with Fabry disease.”

 

Expanded Amicus-GSK Collaboration for Fabry Disease: Key Highlights

 

·                  Amicus will commercialize all formulations of migalastat HCl in the U.S., while GSK will commercialize in the rest of the world.

 

·                  Amicus and GSK will continue to share research and development costs for all formulations of migalastat HCl, with Amicus funding 25% and GSK funding 75% of these costs for monotherapy and co-administration during the remainder of 2012. Amicus and GSK will be responsible for 40% and 60% of these costs, respectively, for co-formulation immediately and for all formulations in 2013 and beyond.

 

·                  GSK will make an $18.6 million equity investment in Amicus by purchasing 2,949,581 shares common stock at $6.30 per share, a 7% premium over the 15 day average closing sale price of Amicus’s common stock as reported by Nasdaq, bringing GSK’s total ownership stake in Amicus to 19.9%.

 

·                  Amicus will receive a $3.5 million cash payment from GSK this quarter to reflect Amicus’ achievement of a clinical development milestone during the second quarter 2012.

 

·                  GSK will be eligible to receive U.S. regulatory approval and product launch milestones totaling $20 million for migalastat HCl monotherapy and chaperone-ERT co-administration.

 

·                  GSK will be eligible to receive additional regulatory and time-based milestone payments totaling up to $35 million within 7 years following the launch of a co-formulation product. Amicus will also be

 responsible for certain additional pass-through milestone payments and single-digit royalties on the net U.S. sales of the co-formulated chaperone-ERT product that GSK must pay to a Third Party.

About Fabry Disease

 

Fabry disease is an inherited lysosomal storage disease that is currently estimated to affect approximately 5,000 to 10,000 people worldwide. Fabry Disease is caused by deficiency of an enzyme called alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A). The role of alpha-Gal A within the body is to break down a complex lipid called globotriaosylceramide (GL-3). Reduced or absent levels of alpha-Gal A activity leads to the accumulation of GL-3 in the affected tissues, including the central nervous system, heart, kidneys, and skin. This accumulation of GL-3 is believed to cause the various symptoms of Fabry disease, including pain, kidney failure, and increased risk of heart disorders and stroke.

Words such as, but not limited to, “look forward to,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” “should” and “could,” and similar expressions or words identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks, changes in circumstances, assumptions and uncertainties. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by Amicus that any of its plans will be achieved. Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this press release may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions Amicus might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. For example, with respect to statements regarding the goals, progress, timing and outcomes of discussions with regulatory authorities and the potential goals, progress, timing and results of preclinical studies and clinical trials, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in this release due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in the business of Amicus, including, without limitation: the potential that results of clinical or pre-clinical studies indicate that the product candidates are unsafe or ineffective; the potential that it may be difficult to enroll patients in our clinical trials; the potential that regulatory authorities may not grant or may delay approval for our product candidates; the potential that preclinical and clinical studies could be delayed because we identify serious side effects or other safety issues; the potential that we will need additional funding to complete all of our studies and, our dependence on third parties in the conduct of our clinical studies. Further, the results of earlier preclinical studies and/or clinical trials may not be predictive of future results. With respect to statements regarding projections of the Company’s cash position, actual results may differ based on market factors and the Company’s ability to execute its operational and budget plans. In addition, all forward looking statements are subject to other risks detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

PREVENTION OF CORRUPTION — THIRD PARTY GUIDELINES

 

The GSK Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy (POL-GSK-007) requires compliance with the highest ethical standards and all anti-corruption laws applicable in the countries in which GSK (whether through a third party or otherwise) conducts business.  POL-GSK-007 requires all GSK employees and any third party acting for or on behalf of GSK to ensure that all dealings with third parties, both in the private and government sectors, are carried out in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations and with the standards of integrity required for all GSK business.  GSK values integrity and transparency and has zero tolerance for corrupt activities of any kind, whether committed by GSK employees, officers, or third-parties acting for or on behalf of the GSK.

 

Corrupt Payments — GSK employees and any third party acting for or on behalf of GSK, shall not, directly or indirectly, promise, authorise, ratify or offer to make or make any “payments” of “anything of value” (as defined in the glossary section) to any individual (or at the request of any individual) including a “government official” (as defined in the glossary section) for the improper purpose of influencing or inducing or as a reward for any act, omission or decision to secure an improper advantage or to improperly assist the company in obtaining or retaining business.

 

Government Officials — Although GSK ́s policy prohibits payments by GSK or third parties acting for or on its behalf to any individual, private or public, as a “quid pro quo” for business, due to the existence of specific anticorruption laws in the countries where we operate, this policy is particularly applicable to “payments” of “anything of value” (as defined in the glossary section), or at the request of, “government officials” (as defined in the glossary section).

 

Facilitating Payments — For the avoidance of doubt, facilitating payments (otherwise known as “greasing payments” and defined as payments to an individual to secure or expedite the performance of a routine government action by government officials) are no exception to the general rule and therefore prohibited.

 

GLOSSARY

 

The terms defined herein should be construed broadly to give effect to the letter and spirit of the ABAC Policy.  GSK is committed to the highest ethical standards of business dealings and any acts that create the appearance of promising, offering, giving or authorising payments prohibited by this policy will not be tolerated.

 

Anything of Value: this term includes cash or cash equivalents, gifts, services, employment offers, loans, travel expenses, entertainment, political contributions, charitable donations, subsidies, per diem payments, sponsorships, honoraria or provision of any other asset, even if nominal in value.

 

Payments: this term refers to and includes any direct or indirect offers to pay, promises to pay, authorisations of or payments of anything of value.

 

Government Official shall mean:

 

·                  Any officer or employee of a government or any department, agency or instrument of a government;

 

·                  Any person acting in an official capacity for or on behalf of a government or any department, agency, or instrument of a government;

 

·                  Any officer or employee of a company or business owned in whole or part by a government;

 

·                  Any officer or employee of a public international organisation such as the World Bank or United Nations;

 

·                  Any officer or employee of a political party or any person acting in an official capacity on behalf of a political party; and/or

 

·                  Any candidate for political office.

In addition, GSK, in its capacity as a sublicensee under the MSSM License, specifically agrees to comply with the audit rights applicable to sublicensees and the obligation to maintain books and records to enable the determination of the amounts payable by Amicus, as a result of the activities of GSK in its capacity as a sublicensee under the MSSM License.

 

Provisions Extracted from MSSM License:

 

Capitalized terms in the following provisions of the MSSM License, but not defined therein, shall have the meanings given to such terms in the MSSM License.

 

“6.                                Confidential Information.

 

a.                                      In the course of research to be performed under this Agreement, it will be necessary for each party to disclose “Confidential Information” to the other.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” is defined as all information, data and know-how disclosed by one party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other (the “Receiving Party”), either embodied in tangible materials (including writings, drawings, graphs, charts, photographs, recordings, structures, technical and other information) marked “Confidential” or, if initially disclosed orally, which is reduced to writing marked “Confidential” within 21 days after initial oral disclosure, other than that information which is,

 

i)                                         known by the Receiving Party at the time of its receipt, and not through a prior disclosure by

 

******                 - Material has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission.

 

 

the Disclosing Party, as documented by the Receiving Party’s business records; or

 

ii)                                      at the time of disclosure, or thereafter becomes, published or otherwise part of the public domain without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; or

 

iii)                                   obtained from a third party who has the legal right to make such disclosure and without any confidentiality obligation to the Disclosing Party; or

 

iv)                                  independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party and such independent development can be documented by the Receiving Party; or

 

v)                                     disclosed to governmental or other regulatory agencies in order to obtain patents, provided that such disclosure may be made only to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain such patents or authorizations, and further provided that any such patent applications shall be filed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or

 

vi)                                  required by law, regulation, rule, act or order of any governmental authority to be disclosed.

 

b.                                      The Receiving Party agrees that at all times and notwithstanding any termination, expiration, or cancellation hereunder, it will hold the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strict confidence, will use all reasonable safeguards to prevent unauthorized disclosure by its employees and agents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties recognize that industry standards with respect to the treatment of Confidential Information may not be appropriate in an academic setting.  However, MSSM agrees to retain Confidential Information of AMICUS in the same manner and with the same level of confidentiality as MSSM retains its own Confidential Information.

 

c.                                       The Receiving Party will maintain reasonable procedures to prevent accidental or other loss, including unauthorized publication of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.  The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party in the event of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information.

 

d.                                      Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, and upon written request, the Receiving Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party all documents or other tangible materials representing Confidential Information and all copies thereof.

 

e.                                       The Receiving Party will immediately notify the Disclosing Party in writing, if it is requested by a court order, a governmental agency, or any other entity to disclose Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession.  The Disclosing Party will have an opportunity to intervene by seeking a protective order or other similar order, in order to limit or prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information.  The Receiving Party will disclose only the minimum Confidential Information required to be disclosed in order to comply, whether or not a protective order or other similar order is obtained by the Disclosing Party.”

 

“9.                                Liability and Indemnification.

 

a.                                      AMICUS shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless MSSM and its trustees, officers, directors, medical and professional staff, employees, students and agents and their respective

successors, heirs and assigns (the “Indemnitees”), against any liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnitees or any one of them in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments: (i) arising out of the production, manufacture, sale, use in commerce or in human clinical trials, lease, or promotion by AMICUS or by a licensee, Affiliate or agent of AMICUS of any Licensed Product, process or service relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement, or (ii) arising out of any other activities to be carried out pursuant to this Agreement.

 

b.                                      AMICUS’ indemnification under subsection a(i), above, shall apply to any liability, damage, loss or expense whether or not it is attributable to the negligent activities of the Indemnitees.  AMICUS’ indemnification under subsection a(ii) above, shall not apply to any liability, damage, toss or expense to the extent that it is attributable to the negligence, gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Indemnitees.

 

c.                                       AMICUS shall, at its own expense, provide attorneys reasonably acceptable to MSSM to defend against any actions brought or filed against any party indemnified hereunder with respect to the subject of indemnity contained herein, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought.

 

d.                                      EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 9, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

 

10.                               Security for Indemnification.

 

a.                                      At such time as any Licensed Product is being commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by AMICUS or by a sub-licensee, Affiliate or agent of AMICUS and to the extent that it is available on commercially reasonable terms, AMICUS shall at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain policies of comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts not less than ****** per incident and ****** annual aggregate and naming the indemnitees as additional insureds.  Such comprehensive general liability insurance shall provide (i) product liability coverage and (ii) broad form contractual liability coverage for AMICUS’ indemnification under Section 9 of this Agreement.  The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required under this Section 10 shall not be construed as a limit of AMICUS’ liability with respect to its indemnification under Section 9 of this Agreement.

 

b.                                      AMICUS shall provide MSSM with written evidence of such insurance upon request of MSSM. AMICUS shall provide MSSM with written notice at least 60 days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance; if AMICUS does not obtain replacement insurance providing comparable coverage within such 60 day period effective immediately upon notice to AMICUS, MSSM shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective at the end of such 60 day period without notice or any additional waiting periods.

 

c.                                       AMICUS shall maintain such comprehensive general liability insurance beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement during: (i) the period that any product, process or service, relating to, or developed pursuant to, this Agreement is being commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approvals) by AMICUS or by a licensee, Affiliate or agent of AMICUS and (ii) a reasonable period after the period referred to in (c)(i) above
