For the avoidance of doubt, the compensation and benefits provided under this Plan shall not result in duplication of compensation or benefits provided under any other plan, policy, agreement or arrangement.

3.1.      Generally.  Subject to Section 3.7 and Section 5 hereof, Eligible Employees shall be entitled to severance benefits pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Section 3 if they incur a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period.

Subject to Section 3.7 and Section 5 hereof, the Company shall pay to each Tier II Employee, Tier III Employee, Tier IV Employee and Tier V Employee who incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of all monthly salary continuation payments the employee would have received under Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 hereof, as applicable, in connection with a Severance prior to the Change in Control Protection Period.  For the avoidance of doubt, such payment shall not include an amount in respect of COBRA premiums.

3.5.      Outplacement Services.  Subject to Section 3.7 and Section 5 hereof, each Tier I Employee, Tier II Employee, Tier III Employee and Tier IV Employee who incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period shall be provided with outplacement services as if such employee had been terminated prior to the Change in Control Protection Period and had been entitled to receive outplacement benefits pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 2 hereof (determined without regard to any service requirement).
3.6.      Additional Change in Control Payment.  In the event of the Specified Change in Control, each Eligible Employee who incurred a Qualifying Severance on or following the Effective Date and prior to the Specified Change in Control and is entitled to receive payments pursuant to Section 2 hereof, shall be entitled to receive an additional lump-sum cash payment, equal to the difference between (i) the aggregate amount such Eligible Employee would have become entitled to receive in connection with a Severance following a Change in Control pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 hereof, as applicable, and (ii) the aggregate amount such Eligible Employee is or was entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2 hereof, as applicable, or is or was otherwise entitled to receive from the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with a termination of employment other than for Cause, death or Disability (the “Additional Change in Control Payment”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional Change in Control Payment shall only be paid if the aggregate amount described in subsection (i) herein exceeds the aggregate 

8

amount described in subsection (ii) herein, and shall only be paid in respect of the difference between the cash severance payable under Sections 2 and 3 and shall not take into account any continued group health benefits or other in-kind benefits or reimbursements.  The Additional Change in Control payment shall be payable, subject to Section 3.7 and 8.14 hereof, as soon as practicable, and no later than sixty (60) days, following the Specified Change in Control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, “Section 409A”), such payments shall be made on the same schedule as the applicable payments would have been paid under this Section 3.  
3.7.      Release of Claims.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition to the receipt of any payment pursuant to this Section 3, the Eligible Employee shall be required to execute and not revoke (within the seven (7) day revocation period or other period required by applicable laws) a Separation Agreement provided by the Company or a Subsidiary which contains a customary general release of claims in favor of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Such release and waiver of claims must be signed and become irrevocable prior to the sixtieth (60th) day (or such longer period not to exceed ninety (90) days as mandated by applicable laws) following the Eligible Employee’s Severance Date.
3.8.      Time of Payments.  All payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3 to an Eligible Employee, other than the Additional Change in Control Payment, shall be made in equal installments over twenty-four (24) months for each Tier I Employee who incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period and, for each other Eligible Employee who incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period, a number of months equal to two times the applicable Salary Continuation Period, in each case in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices.  Subject to Section 8.14 hereof, such payments (other than the Additional Change in Control Payment) shall commence as of the first payroll date immediately following the Severance Date; provided, however, that the Company shall retain or withhold any such payments until the date the release described in Section 3.7 hereof has been executed and has become non-revocable, and any such retained or withheld payments shall be paid together with the next severance payment scheduled to be paid following the date such release has been executed and has become non-revocable.
3.9.      Other Arrangements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan, with respect to an Eligible Employee who is a party to a written employment agreement or is eligible to receive severance payments and benefits under any other plan, policy or arrangement maintained or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Eligible Employee will be entitled to receive the greater of the aggregate severance payments and benefits payable under (i) such other plan, policy, agreement or arrangement and (ii) this Section 3.  For the avoidance of doubt, the compensation and benefits provided under this Plan shall not result in duplication of compensation or benefits provided under any other plan, policy, agreement or arrangement.
SECTION 4.      PLAN ADMINISTRATION.

9

4.1.      The Plan Administrator shall administer the Plan and may interpret the Plan, prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations under the Plan and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, subject to all of the provisions of the Plan.
4.2.      The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its duties hereunder to such person or persons from time to time as it may designate.
4.3.      The Plan Administrator is empowered, on behalf of the Plan, to engage accountants, legal counsel and such other personnel as it deems necessary or advisable to assist it in the performance of its duties under the Plan.  The functions of any such persons engaged by the Plan Administrator shall be limited to the specified services and duties for which they are engaged, and such persons shall have no other duties, obligations or responsibilities under the Plan.  Such persons shall exercise no discretionary authority or discretionary control respecting the management of the Plan.  All reasonable expenses thereof shall be borne by the Company.
SECTION 5.      SECTION 280G OF THE CODE.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, in the event it is determined by an independent nationally recognized public accounting firm, which is engaged and paid for by the Company prior to the consummation of any transaction constituting a “change in ownership or control” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (and any related regulations or other pronouncements thereunder)) (a “280G CIC”) with respect to the Company (the “Accountant”), which determination shall be certified by the Accountant and set forth in a certificate delivered to the Eligible Employee not less than ten (10) business days prior to the 280G CIC setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the Accountant’s calculations (including any assumptions that the Accountant made in performing the calculations), that part or all of the consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to the Eligible Employee under the Plan and any other plans and programs of the Company constitute “parachute payments” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, then, if the aggregate present value of such parachute payments, singularly or together with the aggregate present value of any consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to the Eligible Employee under any other plan, arrangement or agreement which constitute “parachute payments” (collectively, the “Parachute Amount”) exceeds the maximum amount that would not give rise to any liability under Section 4999 of the Code, the amounts constituting “parachute payments” which would otherwise be payable to the Eligible Employee or for the benefit of the Eligible Employee shall be reduced to the maximum amount that would not give rise to any liability under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Reduced Amount”); provided that such amounts shall not be so reduced if the Accountant determines that without such reduction the Eligible Employee would be entitled to receive and retain, on a net after-tax basis (including, without limitation, any excise taxes payable under Section 4999 of the Code), an amount which is greater than the amount, on a net after-tax basis, that the Eligible Employee would be entitled to retain upon receipt of the Reduced Amount.  In connection with making determinations under this provision, the Accountant shall take into account any positions to mitigate any excise taxes payable under Section 4999 of the Code, such as the value of any reasonable compensation for services to be rendered by the Eligible Employee before or after the 

10

280G CIC, including any amounts payable to the Eligible Employee following his or her termination of employment hereunder with respect to any non-competition provisions that may apply to the Eligible Employee, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall cooperate in the valuation of any such services, including any non-competition provisions.

If the determination made pursuant to this provision results in a reduction of the payments that would otherwise be paid to the Eligible Employee except for the application of this provision, the Company or the applicable Subsidiary shall promptly give the Eligible Employee notice of such determination.  Such reduction in payments shall be first applied to reduce any cash payments that the Eligible Employee would otherwise be entitled to receive (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise) and shall thereafter be applied to reduce noncash payments and benefits, in each case, in reverse order beginning with the payments or benefits that are to be paid the furthest in time from the date of such determination, unless, to the extent permitted by Section 409A, the Eligible Employee elects to have the reduction in payments applied in a different order; provided that in no event may such payments be reduced in a manner that would result in subjecting the Eligible Employee to additional taxation under Section 409A.

As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code at the time of a determination hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to or for the benefit of the Eligible Employee pursuant to the Plan which should not have been so paid or distributed (each, an “Overpayment”) or that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by the Company to, or for the benefit of, the Eligible Employee pursuant to the Plan could have been so paid or distributed (each, an “Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder.  In the event that the Accountant, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Eligible Employee which the Accountant believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, or for the benefit of, the Eligible Employee shall be repaid by the Eligible Employee to the Company or its applicable Subsidiary together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code; provided, however, that no such repayment shall be required if and to the extent such deemed repayment would not either reduce the amount on which the Eligible Employee is subject to tax under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes.  In the event that the Accountant, based on controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary to or, for the benefit of, the Eligible Employee, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code. 

SECTION 6.      PLAN MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION
The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time; provided, however, that no termination or amendment may reduce the benefits or payments an Eligible Employee is receiving as of the date of such termination or amendment pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, as applicable, of the Plan.

11

other period, any reduction in an Eligible Employee’s Pay Grade or any redesignation of any such employee to a less favorable tier shall be disregarded for purposes of the Plan.
SECTION 7.      COMPARABLE INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES.
With respect to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are employed outside the United States and who would otherwise constitute Eligible Employees, the Company and its Subsidiaries will establish one or more separate severance policies, practices, arrangements, agreements or guidelines (the “International Guidelines”) with terms that are generally consistent with the terms of this Plan to serve as the “floor” or minimum severance related payments and benefits to which such employees may be entitled in the applicable jurisdiction.  The International Guidelines shall incorporate such modifications necessary or advisable to comply with any government laws, regulatory requirements of any Governmental Authority and local practices or to conform with or take advantage of governmental requirements, statutes or regulations or local practices; provided, however, that the economic terms of such International Guidelines shall generally be no less favorable but no more favorable in the aggregate than the economic terms of this Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the International Guidelines shall not modify or increase any existing separation pay and benefits under any local statutory severance formulas, severance plans and/or individual employment agreements, or any similar policies, plans, programs, practices, agreements or arrangements maintained or entered into by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and employees shall only be entitled to receive severance pay and benefits under the International Guidelines in the event the economic terms of this Plan would be greater than the separation pay and benefits (including termination-related pay or benefits such as notification periods and garden leave) under any local statutory severance formulas, severance plans and/or individual employment agreements, or any similar policies, plans, programs, practices, agreements or arrangements maintained or entered into by the Company or its Subsidiaries.  The establishment of International Guidelines in any applicable jurisdiction shall be subject to the review and approval of the Plan Administrator prior to implementation.  The Plan and the International Guidelines shall not be considered a legally binding automatic source of payments upon a Severance.  
SECTION 8.      GENERAL PROVISIONS.
8.1.      The Plan, as a “severance pay arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(2)(B)(i) of ERISA, is intended to be excepted from the definitions of “employee pension benefit plan” and “pension plan” set forth under Section 3(2) of ERISA, and is intended to meet the descriptive requirements of a plan constituting a “severance pay plan” within the meaning of regulations published by the Secretary of Labor at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations §2510.3-2(b).  
8.2.      The adoption of the Plan by the Company and the adoption of corresponding International Guidelines by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are subject to all notice, information, consultation, and bargaining obligations required by applicable laws.
8.3.      Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or 

12

by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any manner; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Eligible Employee.  When a payment is due under this Plan to a severed employee who is unable to care for his or her affairs, payment may be made directly to his or her legal guardian or personal representative.
8.4.      If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof is or becomes obligated by law or by contract to pay severance pay, a termination indemnity, notice pay or the like, or if the Company or any Subsidiary thereof is obligated by law to provide advance notice of separation (“Notice Period”), then any severance pay and benefit continuation provided under this Plan or the International Guidelines shall be reduced by the amount of any such severance pay and benefit continuation, termination indemnity, notice pay or the like, as applicable, and by the amount of any compensation received during any Notice Period.  For the avoidance of doubt, the compensation and benefits provided under this Plan or the International Guidelines shall not result in duplication of compensation or benefits provided under any other plan, policy, agreement or arrangement.
8.5.      Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Eligible Employee, or any person whomsoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, and all Eligible Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted. 
8.6.      If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.
8.7.      This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties, including each Eligible Employee, present and future, and any successor to the Company.  If an Eligible Employee shall die while any amount would still be payable to such Eligible Employee hereunder if the Eligible Employee had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan to the executor, personal representative or administrators of the Eligible Employee’s estate.
8.8.      The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.
8.9.      The Plan shall not be funded.  No Eligible Employee shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of any Company which may be applied by the Company to the payment of benefits or other rights under this Plan.

13

8.10.      Any notice or other communication required or permitted pursuant to the terms hereof shall have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, addressed to the intended recipient at his, her or its last known address.
8.11.      This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise control.  
8.12.      All pay and benefits hereunder shall be reduced by applicable withholding and shall be subject to applicable tax reporting, as determined by the Plan Administrator.
8.13.      The Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place.  In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company, as a condition precedent to such transaction, shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  In addition, any successor of the Company must treat employment service with the Company or any Subsidiary and the successor and its affiliates as continuous employment service with the Company or any Subsidiary for all purposes of calculating severance benefits pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Plan.  For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Plan to the Company (other than any such references in Section 1.11 hereof) shall following the Specified Change in Control be deemed to refer to the publicly traded parent company of the Company.
8.14.      Conditions to Payment and Acceleration; Section 409A.  The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Plan comply with Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, the Eligible Employee shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Plan and no payments shall be due to the Eligible Employee under this Plan until such Eligible Employee would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A.  For purposes of this Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A, and any payments described herein that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise.  To the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Plan during the six-month period immediately following the Eligible Employee’s termination of employment shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Eligible Employee’s termination of employment (or death, if earlier).  To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to the Eligible 

14

Employee under this Plan shall be paid to the Eligible Employee on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to the Eligible Employee) during any one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year; provided, however, that with respect to any reimbursements for any taxes which the Eligible Employee would become entitled to under the terms of the Plan, the payment of such reimbursements shall be made by the Company no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Eligible Employee remits the related taxes.
SECTION 9.      CLAIMS, INQUIRIES, APPEALS.
9.1.      Applications for Benefits and Inquiries.  Any application for benefits, inquiries about the Plan or inquiries about present or future rights under the Plan must be submitted to the Plan Administrator in writing, as follows:
Plan Administrator  
c/o Mylan Inc.

9.2.      Denial of Claims.  In the event that any application for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator must notify the applicant, in writing, of the denial of the application, and of the applicant’s right to review the denial.  The written notice of denial will be set forth in a manner designed to be understood by the employee, and will include specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the Plan provision upon which the denial is based, a description of any information or material that the Plan Administrator needs to complete the review, and an explanation of the Plan’s review procedure.
This written notice will be given to the employee within ninety (90) days after the Plan Administrator receives the application, unless special circumstances require an extension of time, in which case, the Plan Administrator has up to an additional ninety (90) days for processing the application.  If an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant before the end of the initial ninety (90)-day period.
This notice of extension will describe the special circumstances necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Plan Administrator is to render his or her decision on the application.  If written notice of denial of the application for benefits is not furnished within the specified time, the application shall be deemed to be denied.  The applicant will then be permitted to appeal the denial in accordance with the review procedure described below.
9.3.      Request for a Review.  Any person (or that person’s authorized representative) for whom an application for benefits is denied (or deemed denied), in whole or in part, may appeal the denial by submitting a request for a review to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the application is denied (or deemed denied).  The Plan Administrator will give the applicant (or his or her representative) an opportunity to review pertinent documents in preparing a request for a 

15

review and submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim.  A request for a review shall be in writing and shall be addressed to:

The Plan Administrator may require the applicant to submit additional facts, documents or other material as he or she may find necessary or appropriate in making his or her review.
9.4.      Decision on Review.  The Plan Administrator will act on each request for review within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request, unless special circumstances require an extension of time (not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days), for processing the request for a review.  If an extension for review is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant within the initial sixty (60)-day period.  The Plan Administrator will give prompt, written notice of his or her decision to the applicant.  In the event that the Plan Administrator confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, the notice will outline, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the specific Plan provisions upon which the decision is based.  If written notice of the Plan Administrator’s decision is not given to the applicant within the time prescribed in this Section 9.4 the application will be deemed denied on review.
9.5.      Rules and Procedures.  The Plan Administrator may establish rules and procedures, consistent with the Plan and with ERISA, as necessary and appropriate in carrying out his or her responsibilities in reviewing benefit claims.  The Plan Administrator may require an applicant who wishes to submit additional information in connection with an appeal from the denial (or deemed denial) of benefits to do so at the applicant’s own expense.
9.6.      Exhaustion of Remedies.  No legal action for benefits under the Plan may be brought until the claimant (i) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with the procedures described by Section 9.1 above, (ii) has been notified by the Plan Administrator that the application is denied (or the application is deemed denied due to the Plan Administrator’s failure to act on it within the established time period), (iii) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with the appeal procedure described in Section 9.3 above and (iv) has been notified in writing that the Plan Administrator has denied the appeal (or the appeal 

16

In the event that a Product is sold in a given country together with one or more other therapeutically active ingredients or therapies not constituting a Product for a single price (regardless of their packaging) (a “Combination Product”), such Product shall be deemed to be sold in such country for an amount equal to the product of (i) the price at which the Combination Product was sold in such country and (ii) the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the weighted average sale price (by sales volume) in such country during the applicable reporting period of the Product when sold alone, and B is the weighted average sale price (by sales volume) in such country during the applicable reporting period of each other therapeutically active ingredient or therapy included in the Combination Product when sold alone. Regarding prices comprised in the weighted average price when sold separately referred to above, if these are available for different dosages of the Product or other therapeutically active ingredients or therapies than those included in the Combination Product, then Licensee will be entitled to make a proportional adjustment to such prices in calculating the royalty-bearing Net Sales of the Combination Product.

A qualifying amount may be deducted only once regardless of the number of the preceding categories that describe such amount. If a Selling Party makes any adjustment to such deductions after the associated Net Sales have been reported pursuant to this Agreement, the adjustments and payment of any royalties due will be reported with a subsequent quarterly report. 
For this definition:
(x)    the transfer of Product by a Selling Party to Licensee or its Affiliates or sublicensees is not considered a sale; 
(y)     the transfer of Product by a Selling Party to a contract manufacturer is not considered a sale; and

(z)    any disposal of Product for, or use of Product in, non-Clinical Studies, Clinical Studies or as free samples is not a sale under this definition. 
For clarity, there is no limit on the quantity of Product that may be used in Clinical Studies. Free samples are permitted within customary limits. The amount of Product transferred pursuant to subsections (x), (y) and (z) of this definition is determined from the books and records of the Selling Party, maintained in accordance with GAAP, but excluding any notes thereto.

“Royalty Term”). Upon the expiry of the Royalty Term in a given country, the license granted to Licensee pursuant to Section 2.1(a) will become a fully paid-up and royalty-free license for that country. 
(c)    Royalty Reduction During Market Exclusivity. During the period of the Royalty Term where only Market Exclusivity remains, on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, the royalty rates payable on Net Sales of such Product within such country of the Territory shall be reduced by [*].
(d)    Royalty Reduction for Third Party License. If Licensee reasonably determines it is necessary to seek or obtain a license from any Third Party to Develop or Commercialize a Product in any country in the Territory, then Licensee may offset against royalties otherwise due to Licensor under this Agreement with respect to such country an amount equal to [*] of any royalties or other license fees/payments actually paid by Licensee to such Third Party under such license; provided that in no event will the royalties payable by Licensee in any Calendar Quarter with respect to any country be reduced by more than [*] as a result of this Section 8.3(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any excess amounts that would have otherwise been deducted in such Calendar Quarter pursuant to this Section 8.3(d) shall be deducted from royalties otherwise due to Licensor under this Agreement with respect to such country in successive Calendar Quarters until the credit has been realized in full.
(e)    Royalty Reports and Payments. Within thirty (30) days following the end of each Calendar Quarter  commencing with the Calendar Quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of Product is made anywhere in the Territory, Licensee shall provide Licensor with a report containing the following information for such Calendar Quarter, on a country-by-country basis: (i) the amount of gross sales of Product in the Territory, (ii) an itemized calculation of Net Sales in the Territory showing deductions provided for in the definition of “Net Sales” and any rebates that are known to be required in respect of the Calendar Quarter in question, (iii) the conversion of such Net Sales from the currency of sale into Dollars, and (iv) the calculation of the royalty payment due on such sales, showing the application of the reduction, if any, made in accordance with the terms of Section 8.3(d).  If and to the extent that Licensee identifies an error in a prior royalty report, it shall set forth the error and related calculations in the current royalty report. Concurrent with the delivery of the applicable quarterly report, Licensee shall pay in Dollars all amounts due (adjusted to correct any errors in a prior report) to Licensor pursuant to this Section 8.3 with respect to Net Sales by Licensee, its Affiliates and their respective Sublicensees for such Calendar Quarter.
8.4    Blocked Currency. In each country in the Territory where the local currency is blocked and cannot be removed from the country, Licensee will pay to Licensor royalties accrued on Net Sales in such country in the equivalent amount in Dollars.
8.5    Foreign Exchange. Conversion of sales recorded in local currencies to Dollars will be calculated, on a quarterly basis, using the average daily closing rate of exchange for Calendar Quarter as reported in the Financial Times (London edition) in the Calendar Quarter before the date of payment.

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

8.6    Payment Method; Late Payments. Each Party will make all payments due hereunder in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the Party that is owed such payment (such Party, the “Payee”). If the Payee does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date, simple interest will thereafter accrue on the sum due to the Payee until the date of payment at the per annum rate of the then-current prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus [*], or the maximum rate allowable by Laws, whichever is lower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party making a payment pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to have made a late payment, and no interest shall be due pursuant to this Section 8.6, if the payment is not made by the due date as a result of the Payee’s efforts to reduce or eliminate a tax applicable to such payment pursuant to Section 8.9(c) solely upon and pursuant to the request of the other Party, provided the paying Party makes the required payment (net of applicable withholding taxes) as soon as practicable after the tax issue is resolved.
8.7    Records. Each Party will keep (and will ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees keep) such records as are required to determine, in accordance with GAAP or international financial reporting standards, as applicable, and this Agreement, the sums or credits due under this Agreement, including Net Sales. Each Party will retain all such books, records and accounts until the later of (a) three (3) years after the end of the period to which such books, records and accounts pertain and (b) the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof), or for such longer period as may be required by Laws. Each Party will require its sublicensees to provide to it a report detailing the foregoing expenses and calculations incurred or made by such sublicensee, which report will be made available to the other Party in connection with any audit conducted by such other Party pursuant to Section 8.8.
8.8    Audits. Each Party may have an independent regional or national certified public accounting firm, reasonably acceptable to the audited Party, have access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, to examine only those records of the audited Party (and its Affiliates and sublicensees) as may be reasonably necessary to determine, with respect to any Calendar Year ending not more than three (3) years before such Party’s request, the correctness or completeness of any report or payment made under this Agreement; provided, however, the audited Party shall not be required to provide, and neither the auditing Party nor the independent certified public accountant engaged by the auditing Party shall be entitled to review, the tax returns or tax records of the audited Party or those of its Affiliates and sublicensees. The foregoing right of review may be exercised only once per year and only once with respect to each such periodic report and payment. Reports of the results of any such examination will be (a) limited to details of any discrepancies in the audited Party’s records relating to Product together with an explanation of the discrepancy and the circumstances giving rise to the discrepancy (b) made available to both Parties and (c) subject to Article 12. If the audit report concludes that (i) additional amounts were owed by the audited Party, the audited Party will pay the additional amounts, with interest from the date originally due as provided in Section 8.6 or (ii) excess payments were made by the audited Party, the auditing Party will reimburse such excess payments, without interest, in either case ((i) or (ii)), within thirty (30) days after the date on which such audit report is delivered to both Parties. The Party requesting the audit will bear the full cost of the performance of any such audit, unless such audit, which covers the entire Calendar Year, discloses a variance to the detriment of the auditing Party of more than [*] from the amount of the original report, royalty or payment

calculation, in which case the audited Party will bear the full cost of the performance of such audit. The results of such audit will be final, absent manifest error.
8.9    Taxes.
(a)    Taxes on Income. Each Party will pay all taxes (including related interest and penalties) imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the efforts of, or the accrual, receipt or deemed receipt of any payment by, such Party under this Agreement.
(b)    Tax Withholding. If any taxes (including related interest and penalties) are required to be withheld by a Party with respect to an amount payable to the other Party, such Party will: (a) withhold such taxes from the payment made to the other Party; (b) timely pay the withheld taxes to the proper taxing authority; (c) send proof of payment to the other Party; and (d) reasonably assist the other Party in its efforts to obtain a refund of or credit for such tax payment in accordance with Section 8.9(c). Any amount actually withheld and remitted by a Party to a taxing authority pursuant to this Section 8.9(b) will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as paid to the other Party. If a Party makes a payment without deduction for tax withholding and an amount of tax should have been withheld from such payment, the Party that made such payment shall be entitled to recover the underwithheld tax (and any penalties, additions to tax and interest related thereto and any penalties, additions to tax and interest payable by the paying Party due to the failure to timely withhold) by an additional withholding from any amount payable to the other Party under this Agreement, and to the extent such recovery is insufficient, such Party may make a claim pursuant to ARTICLE 11. No amount shall be withheld, or a reduced amount shall be withheld, as applicable, if, in accordance with Section 8.9(c), a Party that is entitled to a payment timely furnishes the other Party with the necessary tax forms and other documents prescribed by applicable Laws, which shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Party receiving the documents, identifying that the relevant payment is exempt from tax or subject to a reduced tax rate.
(c)    Tax Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of royalties, milestone payments, and other payments made by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement. The Party entitled to a payment will provide the paying Party with any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for the paying Party not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Each Party will provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Law, of withholding taxes, value added taxes, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax or value added tax. 
ARTICLE 9

9.1    Ownership of Inventions. 
(a)    General. Licensee will own any Inventions invented (a) solely by its own employees, agents or independent contractors and (b) jointly by employees, agents or independent 

25

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

contractors of each Party, in the course of conducting the activities under this Agreement, together with all intellectual property rights therein (“Licensee Inventions”). Licensor will own any Inventions invented solely by its own employees, agents or independent contractors in the course of conducting its activities under this Agreement, together with all intellectual property rights therein (“Licensor Inventions”), all of which, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute Licensor Technology and are included in the license in Section 2.1.
(b)    United States Law. The determination of ownership rights of Inventions shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be made in accordance with applicable Law in the U.S. Each Party shall, and does hereby, assign, and shall cause its Affiliates and their sub(licensees) and Sublicensees to so assign, to the other Party, without additional compensation, all right, title and interest in and to any Information and other Inventions as necessary to fully effect the ownership provided for in Section 9.1(a).
(c)    Assignment Obligation. Each Party shall cause all persons who perform Development activities or regulatory activities for such Party under this Agreement or who conceive, discover, develop or otherwise make any Inventions by or on behalf of either Party or its Affiliates or its or their (sub)licensees (or Sublicensees) under or in connection with this Agreement to be under an obligation to assign (or, if such Party is unable to cause such person to agree to such assignment obligation despite such party’s using commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate such assignment obligation, then to grant an exclusive license under) their rights in any Inventions resulting therefrom to such Party, except where applicable Law requires otherwise and except in the case of governmental, not-for-profit and public institutions that have standard policies against such an assignment (in which case, a suitable license or right to obtain such a license, shall be obtained). In addition, each Party shall require (and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to require) that any Third Party collaborator assign to such Party all of its rights, title and interest in and to any Inventions so to fully effect the ownership provided for in Section 9.1(a). 
9.2    Disclosure of Inventions; Patent Strategy Consultation. Each Party will promptly disclose to the other Party all Inventions (whether Licensor Inventions or Licensee Inventions), including any Invention disclosures, or other similar documents, submitted to it by its employees, agents or independent contractors describing Inventions that are either Licensor Inventions or Licensee Inventions, and all material Information relating to such Inventions to the extent necessary or useful for the preparation, filing and maintenance of any Patent, and the determination of inventorship, with respect to such Invention. 
9.3    Prosecution of Patents.
(a)    Subject to Section 9.3(b), as between the Parties, Licensee may prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Licensee Patents, the Licensor Patents and any Patent covering Licensor Inventions directed to any Product, including the manufacture or use thereof (collectively, the “Licensee Prosecuted Patents”). As between the Parties, Licensee will bear and be solely responsible for all costs incurred after the Effective Date only in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any Licensee Prosecuted Patent that it chooses to prepare, file, prosecute or maintain in the Territory. Before any substantive prosecution filing, Licensee will provide Licensor with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts 

26

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

regarding the Licensee Prosecuted Patents as follows: Licensee will promptly provide Licensor with copies of all material communications from any patent authority regarding the Licensee Prosecuted Patents, and will provide Licensor, for its review and comment, with drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities in a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. Licensee will consider in good faith any reasonable comments thereto provided by Licensor in connection with the prosecution of the Licensee Prosecuted Patents. Each Party will provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation (at the other Party’s cost) in the Patent prosecution efforts provided in this Section 9.3(a), including executing any other required documents or instruments for such filings and prosecution. 
(b)    If Licensee decides not to prepare or file, or to abandon, any Licensee Prosecuted Patent or not to apply for an extension of any Licensee Prosecuted Patent, including a supplementary protection certificate or equivalent thereof, anywhere in the Territory, Licensee will promptly notify Licensor and Licensor may assume Licensee’s rights and responsibilities under this Section 9.3 with respect to such Licensee Prosecuted Patent, and in connection with assuming such rights and responsibilities, including responsibility for costs, Licensor may prepare, file, prosecute, or maintain such Licensee Prosecuted Patent or apply for any extension (including a supplementary protection certificate or equivalent thereof) and Licensor will thereafter control the prosecution and maintenance of such Licensee Prosecuted Patent in the Territory; provided that any such Licensee Prosecuted Patent that is a Licensor Patent, shall thereafter be excluded from the definition of “Licensor Patents” for purposes of the license grant in Section 2.1(a).
9.4    Patent Enforcement.
(a)    Notification. If either Party becomes aware of any existing or threatened infringement of any of the Licensee Patents or the Licensor Patents in the Field anywhere in the Territory by a Third Party, including any declaratory judgment, and opposition, post-grant administrative proceedings, or similar action from a Third Party alleging the invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of any of the Licensee Patents or Licensor Patents (“Territory Infringement”), such Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing to that effect and the Parties will consult with each other regarding any actions to be taken with respect to such Territory Infringement.
(b)    Enforcement Rights. For any Territory Infringement, each Party will share with the other Party all Information available to it regarding such actual or alleged infringement. As between the Parties, Licensee may bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in any such Territory Infringement which infringes any Licensee Patent or any Licensor Patent that includes claims directed to any Product, at Licensee’s cost and expense. Licensor will take appropriate action to enable Licensee to commence a suit or take the actions set forth in the preceding sentence. If Licensee fails to commence a suit to enforce the applicable Licensor Patents against such Territory Infringement or to settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Territory Infringement within one hundred eighty (180) days after becoming aware of such Territory Infringement, then Licensor may commence a suit or take action to enforce such Licensor Patents against such Territory Infringement at its own cost and expense. In this case, Licensee will take 

27

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

appropriate actions to enable Licensor to commence a suit or take the actions set forth in the preceding sentence. 
(c)    Collaboration. Each Party will provide to the enforcing Party reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including executing all necessary and proper documents and if required to establish and maintain standing to join such action as a party plaintiff if required by Law to pursue such action, provided that the Party so joined as a party plaintiff shall be under no obligation to participate except to the extent that such participation is required as the result of its being a named party to such action, and the enforcing Party agrees to fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party from and against all Claims (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by the other Party relating thereto. Each Party will additionally use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to have joined to such action as a party plaintiff any Third Party whose joinder is required by law to establish and maintain standing to pursue such action. The enforcing Party will keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, will reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts, and will seek consent of the other Party in any important aspects of such enforcement, including determination of litigation strategy and filing of material papers to the competent court, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The non-enforcing Party may obtain separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party will at all times cooperate fully with the enforcing Party, subject to the provisions of Section 9.4(d).
(d)    Settlement. Licensor will not settle any claim, suit or action that it brought under Section 9.4(b) in any manner that would negatively impact the applicable Licensor Patents or that would limit or restrict the ability of Licensee to Develop, make, have made or Commercialize Products anywhere in the Territory in the Field, without the prior written consent of Licensee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Nothing in this Article 9 requires Licensee to consent to any settlement that is reasonably anticipated by Licensee to have a substantially adverse impact upon any Licensor Patent in the Territory, or to the Development, manufacture or Commercialization of Products in the Territory in the Field. Licensee will not settle any Territory Infringement Action that (i) includes any statement that may be used as an admission of invalidity or unenforceability of any Licensor Patents, or (ii) imposes any material obligations on Licensor, or admits fault on behalf of Licensor, in each case without Licensor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(e)    Expenses and Recoveries. The enforcing Party bringing a claim, suit, or action under Section 9.4(b) will pay for any expenses incurred by such Party as a result of such claim, suit, or action. If such Party recovers monetary damages in such claim, suit or action, such recovery will be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Parties in such litigation, and any remaining amounts will be retained as follows: (i) if Licensee is the enforcing Party, then the remaining amount attributable to a recovery for lost sales or profits shall be deemed “Net Sales” in the Calendar Year in which the money is actually received, and Licensee shall pay the corresponding royalty on such amount to Licensor in accordance with Section 8.3, and (ii) if Licensor is the enforcing Party, then Licensor shall retain [*] of such remaining amount and shall pay [*] to Licensee.

28

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

(f)    Hatch Waxman Litigation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, should a Party receive a certification under 21 U.S.C. § 355 (j)(2)(A)(vii)(iv) and 21 C.F.R. § 314.94 (a)(12)(i)(A)(4) with respect to one or more Licensor Patents or Licensee Patents pursuant to the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-417, known as the Hatch-Waxman Act), as amended, or its equivalent in a country other than the US, then such Party shall immediately provide the other Party with a copy of such certification. Licensee shall have ten (10) Business Days from date on which it receives or provides a copy of such certification to provide written notice to Licensor (“Paragraph IV Notice”) whether Licensee will bring suit, at its expense, within a forty-five (45) day period from the date of such certification. Should such ten (10) Business Day period expire without Licensee providing such Paragraph IV Notice to Licensor or with written notification that Licensee has no intention to bring suit under the Hatch-Waxman Act, then Licensor shall be free to immediately bring suit in its name.
9.5    Infringement of Third Party Rights.  If a Product made, used, offered for sale or sold by Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, the Licensor Technology and/or the Licensee Technology becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent granted by a jurisdiction within the Territory (each such claim or assertion a “Third Party Patent Claim”), Licensee will promptly notify Licensor and the Parties will work toward their shared, mutual interest in the outcome of such potential dispute, and thereafter, the Parties will promptly meet to consider the Third Party Patent Claim and the appropriate course of action. Licensee will defend any such Third Party Patent Claim that pertains solely to patents that include claims directed to any Product; provided that the provisions of Section 9.4 govern the right of Licensee to assert a counterclaim of infringement of any Licensee Patent or any Licensor Patents. Notwithstanding the above, Licensee shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Patent Claim without the prior written consent of Licensor if such settlement would require the Licensor to be subject to an injunction or to make any monetary payment to the Licensee or Third Party, or admit any wrongful conduct Licensor or its Affiliates, or would limit or restrict the claims of or admit any invalidity and/or unenforceability of any of the Licensor Patents, without Licensor’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
9.6    Patent Marking.

The foregoing indemnity obligation will not apply (i) to the extent that (x) the Licensor Indemnitees fail to comply with the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 11.3 and Licensee’s defense of the relevant Claims is prejudiced by such failure or (y) such Claims arise out of or result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Licensor or its Affiliates, or any related breach by Licensor of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder; or (ii) to Claims for which Licensor has an obligation to indemnify Licensee pursuant to Section 11.1, as to which Claims each Party will indemnify the other to the extent of its respective liability for such Claims.
11.3    Indemnification Procedures. The Party claiming indemnity under this ARTICLE 11 (the “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice to the Party from whom indemnity is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after learning of a Claim. The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable assistance, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in connection with the defense of the Claim for which indemnity is being sought. The Indemnified Party may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party may assume and conduct the defense of the Claim with counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party will not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money. So long as the Indemnifying Party is actively defending the Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party will not settle or compromise any such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Claim as provided above, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against, consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement with respect to such Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (b) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnified Party as provided in this ARTICLE 11.
11.4    Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT (A) IN THE EVENT OF THE FRAUD OF A PARTY OR OF A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 12, (B) TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A CLAIM FOR WHICH A PARTY PROVIDES INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE 11 OR (C) IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MISREPRESENTATION, BREACH OR INACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION MADE BY A PARTY, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR SUBLICENSEES SHALL BE LIABLE IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, REMOTE, EXEMPLARY OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, ARISING

11.5    Insurance. Each Party shall procure and maintain product liability insurance in the amount of [*], or shall self-insure, in each case in a manner adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated at all times during which any Product is being clinically tested or commercially distributed or sold by such Party. Each Party shall procure insurance or self-insure at its own expense. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance or self-insurance upon request. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written notice of cancellation or non-renewal of such insurance.
ARTICLE 12
 
CONFIDENTIALITY
12.1    Confidentiality. Each Party agrees that, during the Term and, subject to Section 12.5, for a period of ten (10) years thereafter, it and its Affiliates will keep confidential and will not publish or otherwise disclose and will not use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement (which includes the exercise of any rights or the performance of any obligations hereunder or thereunder) any Confidential Information furnished to it or its Affiliate by or on behalf of the other Party or its Affiliate pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties. The foregoing confidentiality and non-use obligations do not apply to any portion of the other Party’s Confidential Information that the receiving Party can demonstrate by competent written proof:
(a)    was already known to the receiving Party or its Affiliate, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the other Party or its Affiliate;

(d)    was disclosed to the receiving Party or its Affiliate by a Third Party who had a legal right to make such disclosure and who did not obtain such information directly or indirectly from the other Party or its Affiliate; or

41

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

12.2    Authorized Disclosure. Notwithstanding the obligations set forth in Section 12.1, a Party or its Affiliate may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information and the terms of this Agreement to the extent:
(a)    such disclosure is reasonably necessary (i) for the filing or prosecuting of Patent rights as contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) to comply with the requirements of Regulatory Authorities with respect to obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Approval of Product; or (iii) for prosecuting or defending litigation as contemplated by this Agreement;
(b)    such disclosure is reasonably necessary to its officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, contractors, licensees, sublicensees, attorneys, accountants, lenders, insurers or licensors on a need-to-know basis for the sole purpose of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement; provided that in each case, the disclosees are bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use no less stringent than those contained in this Agreement;
(c)    such disclosure is reasonably necessary to any bona fide potential or actual investor, acquiror, merger partner, or other financial or commercial partner for the sole purpose of evaluating an actual or potential investment, acquisition or other business relationship; provided that in each case, the disclosees are bound by written obligations of confidentiality and non-use having a minimum term of five (5) years from the date of the relevant agreement or the date of disclosure, as set forth in such agreement; or
(d)    such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with Laws, including regulations promulgated by applicable security exchanges, court order, administrative subpoena or other order.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party or its Affiliate is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 12.2(a) or 12.2(d), such Party will promptly notify the other Party of such required disclosure and, upon the other Party’s request, such Party and its Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to obtain, or to assist the other Party in obtaining, a protective order preventing or limiting the required disclosure.
12.3    Technical Publication. The Parties will ensure that all publications, and other forms of public disclosure such as abstracts and presentations, of results of studies carried out under this Agreement or otherwise relating to any Product (each of the foregoing, a “Publication”) comply with the strategy established by the JDC. Neither Party nor their Affiliates will submit for publication, publish or present a Publication without the opportunity for prior review by the non-publishing Party, except to the extent required by Laws. A Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to submit, publish or present a Publication will provide the non-publishing Party the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed Publication at least fifteen (15) days before its intended submission for publication or presentation. The non-publishing Party will provide the Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to publish or present with its comments in writing, if any, within ten (10) days after receipt of such proposed Publication. The Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to publish or present will consider in good faith any comments thereto provided by the non-publishing Party and will comply with the non-publishing Party’s request to remove any and all of the non-publishing Party’s Confidential Information from the proposed Publication. In addition, 

42

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

the Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to publish or present will delay the submission for a period of up to thirty (30) days if the non-publishing Party can demonstrate reasonable need for such delay to prepare and file a patent application for which it has prosecution control pursuant to this Agreement. If the non-publishing Party fails to provide its comments to the Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to publish or present within such ten (10)-day period, the non-publishing Party will be deemed not to have any comments, and the Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to publish or present may submit for publication or present in accordance with this Section 12.3 after the fifteen (15)-day period has elapsed. The Party seeking, or whose Affiliate is seeking, to publish or present will provide the non-publishing Party a copy of the manuscript, abstract or presentation at the time of the submission or presentation, as applicable. Each Party agrees to acknowledge the contributions of the non-publishing Party and its Affiliates and their employees in all publications, as scientifically appropriate. 
12.4    Publicity; Terms of Agreement.
(a)    The Parties agree that the material terms of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of both Parties, subject to the special authorized disclosure provisions set forth in this Section 12.4.
(b)    The Parties will make a joint public announcement of the execution of this Agreement in a mutually agreed form, which will be issued within four (4) Business Days after the Effective Date, as agreed by the Parties.  In addition, Licensee will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC.
(c)    After release of such press release and filing of Licensee’s Current Report on Form 8-K, if either Party or its Affiliate desires to make a public announcement concerning the material terms of this Agreement, or any clinical or regulatory announcements, such Party will give reasonable prior advance notice of the proposed text of such announcement to the other Party for its prior review and approval (except as otherwise provided), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. A Party commenting on such a proposed announcement will provide its comments, if any, within three (3) Business Days after receiving the announcement for review, or such shorter period as may be reasonably required in order for the proposing Party to comply with any applicable deadline for making such announcement (as such deadline is communicated by the proposing Party to the commenting Party). In addition, where required by Laws, including regulations promulgated by applicable securities exchanges, such Party or its Affiliate may make a press release (or SEC or other regulatory filing) announcing the achievement of each milestone under this Agreement as it is achieved, the achievements of Regulatory Approvals in the Territory as they occur, or any other material event with respect to this Agreement or the Parties’ performance thereof, subject only to the review procedure set forth in the preceding sentence; provided that the review period will be reduced to two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably required in order for the proposing Party to comply with any applicable deadline for making such press release (or SEC or other regulatory filing), as such deadline is communicated by the proposing Party to the commenting Party) if the deadline for making such disclosure is five (5) or fewer Business Days after such achievement or event. In relation to the other Party’s review of such an announcement, such other Party may make specific, reasonable comments on such proposed press release (or SEC 

43

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

or other regulatory filing) within the prescribed time for commentary, but will not withhold, condition, or delay its consent to disclosure of the information that the relevant milestone or Regulatory Approval has been achieved or material event has occurred. Neither Party nor their Affiliates are required to seek the permission of the other Party to repeat or summarize any information regarding the terms of this Agreement that has already been substantially publicly disclosed by such Party or its Affiliate, or by the other Party or its Affiliate, in accordance with this Section 12.4, if such information remains accurate as of such time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall not be obligated to obtain Licensor’s approval of, or to provide Licensor the opportunity to review and comment on, Licensee’s public announcements concerning the Product, provided that Licensee provides Licensor with reasonable prior notice of material public announcements with respect thereto.
(d)    The Parties acknowledge that either or both Parties may be obligated to file under Laws a copy of this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or other Governmental Authorities. Each Party will make such a required filing and will request confidential treatment of the commercial terms and sensitive technical or other competitively sensitive terms hereof and thereof to the extent such confidential treatment is reasonably available to such Party. In the event of any such filing, each Party will provide the other Party with a copy of this Agreement marked to show the provisions for which such Party intends to seek confidential treatment and will reasonably consider and incorporate the other Party’s comments thereon to the extent consistent with the legal requirements, with respect to the filing Party, governing disclosure of material agreements and material information that must be publicly filed.
12.5    Return of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, the receiving Party will promptly return all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, including all reproductions and copies thereof in any medium, except that the receiving Party may retain a reasonable number of archival copies as may be required by law or its standard document retention policies.
12.6    Unauthorized Use. If either Party becomes aware or has knowledge of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information, it will promptly notify the other Party of such unauthorized use or disclosure.
12.7    Exclusive Property. All Confidential Information is the sole and exclusive property of the disclosing Party and the permitted use thereof by the receiving Party for purposes of its performance hereunder will not be deemed a license or other right of the receiving Party to use any such Confidential Information for any other purpose.
ARTICLE 13
 
TERM AND TERMINATION 
13.1    Term. This Agreement becomes effective on the Effective Date, and, unless sooner terminated as specifically provided in this Agreement, continues in effect on a country-by-country basis until the expiration of all payment obligations hereunder (the “Term”).

13.2    Unilateral Termination by Licensee. 
(a)    Termination Upon Written Notice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Licensee may at any time terminate this Agreement, on a country-by-country basis, or in its entirety, upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Licensor.
(b)    Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2(a), (i) all rights and the licenses granted to Licensee by Licensor for any terminated country(ies) shall immediately terminate and, subject to this Section 13.2(b), all future obligations of each Party and its Affiliates under this Agreement with respect to any terminated country(ies) will immediately cease, (ii) Licensee will stop recruiting for any ongoing Clinical Studies for the terminated country(ies) and will terminate them in accordance with ethical guidelines, and (iii) at Licensor’s request, Licensee shall negotiate in good faith with Licensor commercially reasonable financial terms upon which Licensee would assign to Licensor rights in any Information, Inventions and Regulatory Materials controlled by Licensee with respect to Product(s) relating to the terminated portions of this Agreement.
13.3    Termination for Breach.  
(a)    Termination Upon Written Notice. Each Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement on a country-by-country basis, or in its entirety, immediately upon written notice to the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) if the Breaching Party materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement and, after receiving written notice identifying such material breach in reasonable detail (a “Default Notice”), fails to cure such material breach within ninety (90) days after delivery of the Default Notice (or within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Default Notice if such material breach is solely based on the Breaching Party’s failure to pay any amounts due hereunder). If a Party gives notice to the Breaching Party pursuant this Section 13.3(a) as a result of a material breach (or alleged material breach) by the Breaching Party and, on or before the end of the cure period therefor, either Party has referred the matter to arbitration pursuant to Section 14.1, in either case where the Breaching Party is in good faith disputing such basis for termination pursuant to this Section 13.3(a), then (i) such cure period will be suspended and (ii) this Agreement will not terminate, unless and until the chief executive officer of Licensor and the chief executive officer of Licensee resolve the dispute or the arbitrators issue a final ruling or award upholding such basis for termination (or unless and until the Breaching Party is no longer disputing such basis in good faith, if earlier). If the arbitrators issue a final ruling or award upholding such basis for termination, then the cure period will resume, and the Breaching Party will have the remainder of the cure period to cure the material breach. If the material breach is so cured within the remainder of the cure period, then this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, otherwise this Agreement will terminate. If the arbitrators issue a final ruling rejecting such basis for termination, then this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
(b)    Effect of Termination by Licensee. Upon termination by Licensee pursuant to Section 13.3(a), (i) all rights and the licenses granted to Licensee by Licensor under the terminated portions of this Agreement shall immediately terminate and, subject to this Section 13.3(b), all future obligations of each Party and its Affiliates under the terminated portions of this Agreement will immediately cease, (ii) Licensee will stop recruiting for any ongoing Clinical Studies with

respect to the terminated portions of this Agreement and will terminate them in accordance with ethical guidelines, and (iii) at Licensor’s request, Licensee shall negotiate in good faith with Licensor commercially reasonable financial terms upon which Licensee would assign to Licensor rights in any Information, Inventions and Regulatory Materials controlled by Licensee with respect to Product(s) relating to the terminated portions of this Agreement.
(c)    Effect of Termination by Licensor. Upon termination by Licensor pursuant to Section 13.3(a), (i) all rights and the licenses granted to Licensee by Licensor for any terminated country(ies) shall immediately terminate and, subject to this Section 13.3(c), all future obligations of each Party and its Affiliates under this Agreement with respect to any terminated country(ies) will immediately cease, (ii) Licensee will stop recruiting for any ongoing Clinical Studies for any terminated country(ies) and will terminate them in accordance with ethical guidelines, and (iii) all rights in any Product(s), Licensor Technology and Licensee Technology (other than Licensee Technology that is purchased from a Third Party other than Licensor) and Regulatory Materials with respect to such terminated country(ies), shall be automatically assigned to Licensor.
13.4    Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that have accrued before the date of termination or expiration.

In the event of any disputes, controversies or differences between the Parties (except for disputes arising from the JDC, which will be handled pursuant to Section 3.1(d)), arising out of, in relation to, or in connection with this Agreement, including any alleged failure to perform, or breach, of this Agreement, or any issue relating to the validity, construction, interpretation, enforceability, breach, performance, application, or termination of this Agreement a (“Dispute”), then upon the written request of either Party, the Parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith an amicable resolution thereof, which good faith efforts include at least one in-person meeting between the most senior executive officer of Licensor and the chief executive officer of Licensee (or their respective designees). If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days following the written request for amicable resolution, then either Party may then initiate arbitration under this Section 14.1.

by Law, neither Party may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.
14.2    Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding Section 14.1, each Party acknowledges that its breach of ARTICLE 12 may cause irreparable harm to the other Party, which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in an action at law.

In addition, notwithstanding Section 14.1, to the fullest extent provided by Law, either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) to protect a Party’s rights or enforce a Party’s obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any claims related thereto pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 14.1.
14.3    Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof are governed by and construed under the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the Laws of a different state.
14.4    Patent and Trademark Disputes. Notwithstanding Section 14.1, any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patent or trademark rights outside the U.S. covering the manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of Product will be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country in which such Patent or trademark rights were granted or arose.
ARTICLE 15
 
MISCELLANEOUS
15.1    Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, together with the Development Plan, and any other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto and thereto and their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

15.2    Force Majeure.

15.4    No Strict Construction; Interpretation; Headings. The language in this Agreement is to be construed in all cases according to its fair meaning. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular includes the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender applies to all genders. The word “or” is used in the disjunctive sense and the word “and” is used in the conjunctive sense. The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend, or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement. The term “including,” “include,” or “includes”, whether or not followed by “without limitation” or “including, but not limited to,” or words of similar import, shall be construed to mean in each case including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term. The Parties agree that no meaning should be inferred about the use of “without limitation” or “including, but not limited to” in some instances but not others. Unless the context requires otherwise, (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document will be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein or therein), (ii) any reference to any Laws will be construed as referring to such Laws as from time to time enacted, repealed or amended, (iii) any reference to any person will be construed to include the person’s successors and permitted assigns, (iv) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, will be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (v) any reference to the words “mutually agree” or “mutual written agreement” will not impose any obligation on either Party to agree to any terms relating thereto or to engage in discussions relating to such terms except as such Party may determine in such Party’s sole discretion, (vi) all references to Sections, Exhibits or Schedules will be construed to refer to Sections, Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement, (vii) the word “days” means calendar days unless otherwise specified, and (viii) the words “copy” and “copies” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement include, to the extent available, electronic copies, files or databases containing the information, files, items, documents or materials to which such words apply. The headings of each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section. Each Party represents that it has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting hereof. In interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that no presumption will apply against the Party which drafted such terms and provisions.
15.5    Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that a Party may make such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to its Affiliates or to a Third Party successor or transferee to all or substantially all of the assets of such Party in the Field to which this Agreement relates (such Third Party, an “Acquiror”), whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction. Any successor or assignee of rights or obligations permitted hereunder will, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights or obligations; provided that in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate, the assigning Party shall remain primarily liable for performance under this Agreement. Any permitted assignment will be binding on the 

49

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 15.5 is null, void and of no legal effect.
15.6    Performance by Affiliates. Each Party may discharge any obligations and exercise any right hereunder through any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and will cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement is a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.
15.7    Further Assurances and Actions. Each Party, upon the request of the other Party, whether before or after the Effective Date and without further consideration, will do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged or delivered all such further acts, deeds, documents, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to effect complete consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. The Parties agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
15.8    Severability. Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement will be severable, and the unenforceability of one will not affect the enforceability of any others or of the remainder of this Agreement. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to the substitution therefor of a suitable and equitable solution to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid provision; provided, however, that the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the Parties hereto will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law.
15.9    No Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver will be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver, delay or the failure of any Party to enforce or exercise any term, condition or part of this Agreement at any time or in any one or more instances will not be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term, condition or part, nor will it forfeit any rights, power or privilege to future enforcement thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in

the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all rights and remedies available to a Party, whether under this Agreement or afforded by Law or otherwise, will be cumulative and not in the alternative to any other rights or remedies that may be available to such Party.
15.10    Relationship of the Parties. Neither Party will have any responsibility for the hiring, termination or compensation of the other Party’s employees or for any employee benefits of such employee. No employee or representative of a Party will have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement for any sum or in any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party without said Party’s approval. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Licensor’s legal relationship to Licensee under this Agreement will be that of independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement gives either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way. This Agreement is not a partnership agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to establish a relationship of partners, principal and agent or joint venturers between the Parties or their respective employees or Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create a “separate entity” or “business entity” within the meaning of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code or the regulations thereunder and any foreign equivalents thereto. Neither Licensee nor Licensor will make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action that is binding on the other, without the prior consent of the other Party to do so.
15.11    English Language. This Agreement was prepared in the English language, which language governs the interpretation of, and any dispute regarding, the terms of this Agreement.
15.12    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which is an original, but all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. Each Party may execute this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by PDF. In addition, facsimile or PDF signatures of authorized signatories of any Party will be deemed to be original signatures and will be valid and binding, and delivery of a facsimile or PDF signature by any Party will constitute due execution and delivery of this Agreement.
15.13    Schedules. The disclosure of any matter in any Section of or on any Schedule to this Agreement will only be deemed to be a disclosure for the Section or subsection of this Agreement to which it corresponds in number, unless the applicability of such Schedule to any other Section is readily apparent. The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule to this Agreement will expressly not be deemed to (a) constitute an admission by either Party hereto, or (b) imply that any such matter is material for purposes of this Agreement.
15.14    Expenses. Each of the Parties will bear its own direct and indirect expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and, except as set forth in this Agreement, the performance of the obligations contemplated hereby and thereby.

15.15    Section 365(n). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the licenses granted by the Parties pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 and all other rights granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, for purposes of Section 365(n), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code (or analogous foreign provisions), and that this Agreement is an executory contract governed by Section 365(n) if a bankruptcy proceeding is commenced involving either Party (as licensor hereunder). Licensee, as the licensee of such rights under Section 2.1, retains and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. The foregoing provisions of this Section 15.15 are without prejudice to any rights the Parties may have arising under the Bankruptcy Code or other Laws.
