17
without limitation research, pre-clinical studies, toxicology, formulation activities, manufacturing development, scale up of production process, and clinical trials as appropriate for the stage of research and development which shall be updated annually. The research and development plan shall also include a summary of the estimated costs expected to be incurred under the research and development plan during the covered period and a description of, and budget for, all activities proposed for such period under the research and development plan. In addition, the research and development plan shall specify the responsibilities and work to be performed by each Party, identify the number of personnel to be used by each Party in performing activities in connection with the research and development plan, as well as activities to be performed by Third Parties.
2.2 For each Project, MedImmune and Infinity each agree that it shall cause the JDT to approve a Research and Development Plan for each calendar year that includes a level of efforts, resources and monies sufficient to research, develop and manufacture Product and to seek Regulatory Approval of Product in at least the United States, Europe and Japan. The initial rolling three-year Research and Development Plan for each Project shall be prepared and approved within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and shall be consistent with the plan separately provided by Infinity to MedImmune on August 22, 2006.
2.3 (a) The research and development plan prepared by the Parties (except for the initial Research and Development Plan), shall be submitted to the JDT for approval by no later than June 30 of the calendar year preceding the three (3) calendar years covered therein. The research and development plan approved by the JDT in amended or unamended form for a Project shall be the Research and Development Plan for the Project. The Research and Development Plan shall always be a rolling three year plan and the Research and Development
18
Plan shall be updated or amended at least annually by no later than August 1
st of each year preceding the year for which the update is being made.(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.3(a), the Research and Development Plans approved by the JDT after the initial Research and Development Plan with respect to the periods covered by the initial Research and Development Plan shall be consistent with the initial Research and Development Plan unless a change is required thereto as a result of a clinical hold, unavailability of clinical supply of Product and/or material events affecting the initial Research and Development Plan, in which case the Research and Development Plan for such period and the corresponding expenditures by the Parties thereunder will be adjusted accordingly by agreement of the JDT.
2.4 In a calendar year, unless approved in writing by the Parties, neither Party shall incur or enter into contracts to incur Development Costs that exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the amount of the budget allocated to such Party for such calendar year under a Research and Development Plan.
2.5 Each Party shall report to the other Party through the JDT, the Development Costs actually incurred by each Party in a calendar quarter within twenty (20) calendar days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter. The JDT shall determine the aggregate Development Costs for the applicable calendar quarter and determine the amount of Development Costs that should have been allocated to MedImmune based on the Applicable Percentage, and the Development Costs that should have been allocated to Infinity based on the Applicable Percentage. The JDT shall report such calculation to both Parties within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the reports thereby communicating its determination as to Development Costs owed. To the extent that a Party has incurred Development Costs in excess of the Development
19
Costs that should have been incurred by such Party based on the Applicable Percentage, within (30) days, the other Party shall pay to such Party such excess so that each Party bears the Applicable Percentage of such aggregate Development Costs for such calendar quarter.
2.6 Each Party shall keep and shall cause each of its Affiliates and their contractors to keep full and accurate records and books of account containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of calculating Development Costs to be charged to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement.
