19.

 

 

           (b) The Parties will have [ * ] following GTx’s receipt of such notice to discuss in good faith whether an adjustment of the Royalty Payments under Section 3.4 of this Agreement is appropriate so that COGS for such Licensed Product do not exceed [ * ] of Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country or whether other circumstances exist that may warrant Ipsen continuing to sell such Licensed Product in the country in question. In the event the Parties fail to reach an agreement on any such adjustment, Ipsen shall not have to commercialize the Licensed Products in such country as long as Ipsen reasonably believes circumstances have not sufficiently changed to allow it to have COGS [ * ] .

Within [ * ] after the end of each calendar year for which Royalty Payments are payable by Ipsen to GTx, Ipsen shall provide to GTx a report, on a country by country basis, reconciling the number of Initial Products sold on a per dose and a per Indication basis to the number of Initial Products consumed per Indication. In the event any payment due to GTx, including the Royalty Payments due hereunder, are late by more than [ * ] , GTx shall have the right to assess interest on the amounts which are then past due and owing to GTx at a rate of interest equal to the prime rate [ * ] .

      3.8 Royalty Term. Royalties shall be payable [ * ] (hereinafter, the " Royalty Term "). In the event that: (i) a Product Improvement is either jointly developed pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of this Agreement or developed by Ipsen and GTx has opted-in pursuant to Section 4.3(c), (ii) such Product Improvement is covered by an Ipsen Patent or a Joint Patent and (iii) such Product Improvement is commercialized in the European Territory by Ipsen, then, with regards to such Product Improvement, the Royalty Term shall [ * ] .

DEVELOPMENT AND REGISTRATION

      4.1 Development Responsibilities . As a general principle, GTx will be solely responsible for the development of Licensed Products in the GTx Territory and for any communication with Regulatory Agencies in the GTx Territory, and Ipsen will be solely responsible for the development of Licensed Products in the European Territory and for any communication with Regulatory Agencies in the European Territory. Neither Party will undertake to conduct any development activities for Licensed Products in the territory of the other Party without first submitting the proposed development activities to the JDC and receiving the approval of the other Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

4.2 Initial Development.

           (a) Initial Development Plan.

                (i) GTx Initial Development. The Initial Development of the Initial Products for the ADT Indication and the PIN Indication in the GTx Territory shall be carried out by GTx pursuant to a development plan (the " GTx Initial Development Plan ") and a development budget (the " GTx Initial Development Budget "), both of which are attached as Exhibit E of this Agreement. The GTx Initial Development Budget comprises the Initial Development Expenses incurred by GTx as from [ * ] through [ * ] and the forecasted Initial Development Expenses as from [ * ] and until the obtaining of the Regulatory Approval for the Initial Products in the GTx Territory, differentiated between (i) Initial Development Expenses incurred/forecasted for the Development of the ADT Indication and the Initial Development of the PIN Indication and (ii) Joint Initial Development Expenses and other Initial Development Expenses. In the event that there are Joint Initial Development Expenses that are not clearly dedicated to the Initial Development of either ADT Indication or PIN Indication, the sum of such Joint Initial Development Expenses shall be allocated equally as the Initial Development of ADT Indication and PIN Indication. For each calendar year subsequent to 2006, a revised GTx Initial Development Plan and a revised GTx Initial Development Budget will be prepared by GTx and submitted for approval to the JDC before [ * ] of each calendar year, provided, however that any revision of the GTx Initial Development Plan and GTx Initial Development Budget shall not result in an increase of [ * ] of Joint Development Expenses per year, except as otherwise agreed by Ipsen.

                (ii) Ipsen Initial Development. The Initial Development of the Initial Products for the obtaining of the ADT Indication and the PIN Indication in the European Territory shall be carried out by Ipsen pursuant to a development plan for the remainder of 2006 and 2007 (the " Ipsen Initial Development Plan "). The Ipsen Initial Development Plan will be submitted by Ipsen to the JDC within [ * ] as from the Effective Date. For each calendar year subsequent to 2007, a revised Ipsen Initial Development Plan will be prepared by Ipsen and submitted for information to the JDC before [ * ] of each calendar year.

shall describe the proposed overall program of all the Initial Development of a Party in its respective territory, including, but not limited to, Pre-Clinical Studies, toxicology, formulation, chemical process development, Clinical Studies, regulatory plans and other elements of obtaining Regulatory Approval, and projected timelines for the Initial Development events. Each Initial Development Plan for either GTx Initial Development or Ipsen Initial Development will identify endpoints needed for initiation of the next phase of the Initial Development. Both GTx Initial Development Plan and Ipsen Initial Development Plan will be submitted for comments by GTx to Orion and GTx shall inform Ipsen of all comments made by Orion on the Initial Development Plans. Ipsen agrees to change and/or amend the Ipsen Initial Development Plan to the extent such Ipsen Initial Development Plan could reasonably be deemed to affect adversely Orion’s development, commercialization, sales or registration of Fareston by Orion.

           (c) Initial Development Efforts. In carrying out Initial Development and its Initial Development Plan in its respective territory, each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the Initial Development of the Initial Products in the ADT Indication and the PIN Indication and to conduct the activities set forth in their respective Initial Development Plan in accordance with the timelines set forth therein. A Party’s material failure to comply with such diligence obligations shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.

           (d) Drug Approval Applications . Consistent with its Initial Development Plan, GTx shall be responsible for the filing of all Drug Approval Applications and seeking Regulatory Approvals for Initial Products in the GTx Territory in the ADT Indication and the PIN Indication, and Ipsen shall be responsible for the filing of Drug Approval Applications and seeking Regulatory Approvals for Initial Products in the European Territory in the ADT Indication and the PIN Indication. If Ipsen does not exercise the Election as set forth in Section 4.2(e) of this Agreement, GTx shall have the right to seek Regulatory Approvals for Licensed Products for the PIN Indication in the European Territory, provided, however, that GTx shall seek such Regulatory Approval under a trademark which is not confusingly similar to the Licensed Trademarks to be used for the commercialization of the Initial Products in the ADT Indication in the European Territory. The Parties shall consult and cooperate in the preparation of each such Drug Approval Application and in obtaining Regulatory Approvals. GTx shall solely own all Drug Approval Applications and Regulatory Approvals for the GTx Territory and Ipsen shall solely own all Drug Approval Applications and Regulatory Approvals for the European Territory. In the event that Ipsen does not exercise its Election, GTx shall solely own all Drug Approval Applications and Regulatory Approvals for Licensed Products for the PIN Indication in the European Territory.

           (e) Ipsen’s Election to Retain License Rights to Licensed Products for the PIN Indication.

                (i)  Exercise of Election . Ipsen shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to retain its license rights under Article V in connection with Licensed Products for the PIN Indication, by notifying such election to GTx at any time after the Effective Date and until [ * ] following receipt of the first Regulatory Approval in [ * ] (the " Election ").

                (i) Initial Development Expenses Solely Borne by Ipsen. Ipsen shall be solely responsible for paying all Initial Development Expenses that are not Joint Initial Development Expenses relating to the obtaining of Regulatory Approvals in the European Territory for the Initial Products for the ADT Indication and the PIN Indication (subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(e)(ii) of this Agreement), which shall include the costs for any additional Pre-Clinical Studies and Clinical Studies required exclusively by the EMEA or other Regulatory Agencies to grant Regulatory Approvals for Initial Products within the European Territory.

                (ii) Initial Development Expenses Solely Borne by GTx. GTx shall be solely responsible for paying all Initial Development Expenses that are not Joint Initial Development Expenses relating to the obtaining of Regulatory Approvals for the Initial Products in the GTx Territory, including the Initial Products for the ADT Indication and the PIN Indication (subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(e)(ii) of this Agreement ), which shall include the costs for any additional Pre-Clinical Studies and Clinical Studies required exclusively by the FDA or other Regulatory Agencies to grant Regulatory Approvals for the Initial Products within the GTx Territory .

                (iii) Joint Initial Development Expenses. GTx shall bear the [ * ] of Joint Initial Development Expenses. Thereafter, Joint Initial Development Expenses shall be allocated between GTx and Ipsen as follows: [ * ] of Joint Initial Development Expenses shall be paid by GTx, and [ * ] of Joint Initial Development Expenses shall be paid by Ipsen as set forth below.

                     (1) Joint Initial Development Expenses for the Initial Products in the ADT Indication . At such time as Joint Initial Development Expenses incurred by GTx exceed [ * ] , GTx shall invoice Ipsen on a quarterly basis for [ * ] of the Joint Initial Development Expenses relating to the Initial Development of the Initial Products for the treatment of the ADT Indication (such Initial Development Expenses referred to as the " Joint ADT Initial Development Expenses "). Ipsen shall reimburse GTx for such costs within [ * ] of its receipt of such invoice.

                     (2) Joint Initial Development Expenses for Initial Products in the PIN Indication. Ipsen shall not be responsible for paying any Joint Initial Development Expenses incurred in relation to the Initial Development of the Initial Products for the treatment of the PIN Indication (" Joint PIN Initial Development Expenses "), unless and until such time as Ipsen exercises its Election as set forth in Section 4.2(e)(i). As from the Election and at such time as Joint Initial Development Expenses (including Joint PIN Initial Development Expenses) incurred by GTx exceed [ * ] , GTx shall invoice Ipsen on a quarterly basis for [ * ] of the on-going Joint PIN Initial Development Expenses and Ipsen shall reimburse GTx for such costs within [ * ] of its receipt of such invoice.

                     (3) Reports and Adjustment. Within [ * ] after the end of each calendar quarter, GTx shall provide Ipsen with a report detailing all GTx FTEs actually utilized by GTx during such calendar quarter (by names and major tasks) and external costs (for which invoices were received and approved for payment by GTx), as well as a comparison of

such expenditures with the relevant provisions of the GTx Initial Development Budget. Within [ * ] of the end of 2006, and each calendar year thereafter, GTx shall provide to Ipsen an accounting report of the actual Joint Initial Development Expenses incurred during the previous calendar year including without limitation all detailed GTx FTE Costs as well as all invoiced external costs. In the event Ipsen has overpaid or underpaid any amount in excess of its [ * ] share in the Joint Initial Development Expenses as set forth in this report, GTx and Ipsen agree to reimburse one another such amounts as are appropriate within [ * ] from the date of receipt by Ipsen of this report. GTx agrees to maintain appropriate and accurate records of all Joint Initial Development Expenses incurred by it.

                     (iv) Audits. Upon the written request of Ipsen (which shall be no more than [ * ] ), GTx and Ipsen shall agree on a mutually acceptable date on which to permit an independent certified public accounting firm of an internationally recognized standing [ * ] to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of GTx as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the reports and to audit the records as provided for in Section 4.2(f)(iii) of this Agreement. The accounting firm shall disclose to GTx and Ipsen whether the reports/records are correct or incorrect, the specific details concerning any discrepancies and such other information that should properly be contained in an accounting report required under this Section. If such accounting firm concludes that additional amounts relating to Ipsen’s share in Joint Initial Development Expenses were owed, Ipsen shall pay such additional amounts within [ * ] of the date Ipsen delivers to GTx such accounting firm’s written report so concluding. In the event such accounting firm concludes that amounts relating to Ipsen’s share in Joint Initial Development Expenses were overpaid by Ipsen, GTx shall repay Ipsen the amount of such overpayment within [ * ] of the date Ipsen delivers to GTx such accounting firm’s written report so concluding. The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by Ipsen; provided , however , if the audit reveals that Ipsen has overpaid by more than [ * ] Ipsen’s share of Joint Initial Development Expenses due hereunder for the period being reviewed, then the fees and expenses of the accounting firm for the audit shall be paid by GTx. Upon the expiry of [ * ] following the end of any calendar year for which Ipsen has made payment of Joint Development Expenses with respect to such calendar year, and in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of GTx or a contrary finding by an accounting firm pursuant to this Section, such calculation shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties, and GTx shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect to any over payment by Ipsen for Joint Development Expenses for such calendar year. !

           (g) Inventions under the Initial Development and license grant.

               In the event any Party makes an Invention during the course of the conduct of the Initial Development, any such Invention shall be considered as a " Joint Invention" .

           (a) Subsequent Development Proposals.

               Each Party acknowledges that no development of a GTx Product Improvement or an Ipsen Product Improvement shall be made without first having been proposed to the other Party in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3.

               The Party (the " Proposing Party ") intending to conduct the development of respectively an Ipsen Product Improvement or a GTx Product Improvement (the " Subsequent Development ") shall notify the JDC of such intent and shall provide to JDC all necessary information relating to the concerned Product Improvement and the related Subsequent Development in order to enable the other Party to reasonably assess the scientific, technical and commercial implications of the proposed Subsequent Development. Within [ * ] from receipt of all such information, the other Party shall notify the Proposing Party its decision or not to participate in the Subsequent Development.

               In the event the other Party decides not to participate in the Subsequent Development, the Proposing Party shall be free to conduct the Subsequent Development at its own cost and expenses (the " Sole Subsequent Development ") subject to the other Party’s right to decide at a later stage to opt-in in such Subsequent Development in accordance to Section 4.3(c).

               In the event the other Party decides to participate to the Subsequent Development, the Parties shall jointly perform and fund such Subsequent Development (the " Joint Subsequent Development ") as set forth in Section 4.3(b) of this Agreement.

           (b) Joint Subsequent Development

                (i) Joint Subsequent Development Plan and Budget.

                    Following the other Party’s notification to join in the Subsequent Development, the Parties working through the JDC shall agree upon a plan and a budget for the conduct of the Joint Subsequent Development (respectively, the " Joint Subsequent Development Plan " and the " Joint Subsequent Development Budget ") which shall include at least the following items:

               (A) research and development activities to be performed by each Party for the purpose of obtaining Regulatory Approval for the Product Improvement in each Party’s respective territory;

               (B) specific tasks, location of work, milestones, estimated timelines, immediate objectives and long term objectives;

               (C) the global budget for the Joint Subsequent Development and the estimated budget for the development activities of each Party under the Joint Subsequent Development Plan. The costs of the development activities of the Parties (the " Joint Subsequent Development Costs ") will be determined in accordance with Section 4.3(b)(ii) of this Agreement.

28.

 

 

               Once agreed by the Parties within the JDC, each Party undertake to use its reasonable commercial efforts to conduct its development activities under the Joint Subsequent Development Plan. The Joint Subsequent Development Plan and the Joint Subsequent Development Budget shall be updated annually by the JDC at a time decided by the JDC and suitable for both Parties’ planning and budgeting processes, provided however that any update or amendment of the Joint Subsequent Development Plan and the Joint Subsequent Development Budget shall be approved by both Parties within the JDC.

                (ii) Determination of Subsequent Development Costs

                    All research and development activities conducted by the Parties under the Joint Subsequent Development Plan shall be valued as follows:

               (A) internal costs: [ * ] ;

               (B) external costs: [ * ] .

                    In the event the Parties reasonably agree that there is a need to enter into an agreement with a Third Party having intellectual property rights which would be infringed by the development and commercialization of the Product Improvement which is the subject matter of the Joint Subsequent Development (the " Third Party License "), the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to negotiate and enter into the Third Party License. Any payments to be made to this Third Party under the Third Party License during the Joint Subsequent Development shall be included in the Joint Subsequent Development Budget as Joint Subsequent Development Costs.

                (iii) Funding of Joint Subsequent Development

                    All activities undertaken by the Parties pursuant to the Joint Subsequent Development Plan shall be funded by the Parties in the following proportion : Ipsen shall be responsible for [ * ] of all Joint Subsequent Development Costs and GTx shall be responsible for [ * ] of all Joint Subsequent Development Costs, only to the extent the foregoing Joint Subsequent Development Costs are set forth in the Joint Subsequent Development Budget or revisions thereof. Within [ * ] of the end of each calendar quarter, each Party will notify the JDC in writing of the Joint Subsequent Development Costs incurred by such Party during such calendar quarter, and the JDC shall aggregate such Joint Subsequent Development Costs and allocate them to the Parties in accordance with the percentages set forth in the foregoing sentence. Where needed in order to reflect such allocated Joint Subsequent Development Costs, corresponding "true up" payments will be made by the Party underpaying its share of Joint Subsequent Development Costs to the Party having overpaid its share, quarterly within [ * ] following the end of each calendar quarter.

                (iv) Disagreement and Opt-out of the Joint Subsequent Development

                    In case of failure of the Parties within the JDC to agree upon the Joint Subsequent Development Plan, the Joint Subsequent Development Budget and any

revisions thereof or the terms and conditions of a Third Party License, such disagreement shall be referred to the Executive Officers. In case the Executive Officers fail to reach an agreement within [ * ] as from the date such matter was referred to them, then each Party shall have the right to opt-out of the Joint Subsequent Development, subject to a [ * ] notice period.

                    The decision to opt-out shall be notified to the JDC. The Party exercising this opt-out right (the " Opt-Out Party ") shall continue all development activities under the Joint Subsequent Development Plan during the [ * ] notice period, fund the Joint Subsequent Development in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3(b)(iii) of this Agreement during such period and enable the other Party to take over, if the other Party wishes to, such development activities to avoid any disruption of the Joint Subsequent Development.

                    The Opt-Out Party shall grant to the other Party an exclusive royalty-free license under the Opt-Out Party’s interest in any Joint Inventions for the sole purpose of the development of the Product Improvement in the other Party’s territory.

                    After the expiry of the [ * ] notice period, in the event the other Party decides to continue the development of the Product Improvement at its own cost and expenses, such development shall be considered as a Sole Subsequent Development and the provisions of Section 4.3(c) shall apply including the right for the Opt-Out Party to Opt-In under the terms and conditions of this Section.

                (v) Inventions under the Joint Subsequent Development

                    All Inventions made by the Parties during the course of, or in furtherance of, and as direct result of the development activities of the Parties in the Joint Subsequent Development shall be deemed Joint Inventions. For the avoidance of doubt, any Ipsen Invention and GTx Invention which does not directly result from the development activities under the Joint Subsequent Development shall be or remain owned by Ipsen or GTx, as the case may be.

                (vi) Commercialization of the Product Improvement developed under a Joint Subsequent Development

                    Each Party shall have the right to obtain Regulatory Approval and commercialize the Product Improvement in its respective Territory provided that:

                    (A) each Party shall grant to the other Party a royalty-free, exclusive license on its interest in the Joint Inventions in the other Party’s territory ;

                    (B) in the event the Parties have entered into a Third Party License, each Party shall pay to such Third Party any royalty due with respect to each Party’s respective territory. In the event any other payment would be due to this Third Party, any such payment will be allocated [ * ] GTx/Ipsen;

                    (C) in the event a Party Controls Patents which are not GTx Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights and which would be infringed by the manufacture, use or

commercialization of the Product Improvement in the other Party’s territory, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of a royalty-bearing license agreement relating to those Patent Rights for the other Party’s territory.

           (c) Sole Subsequent Development and Opt-in

                (i) Decision for Sole Subsequent Development. In the event that the Parties have not agreed to jointly perform or fund any Subsequent Development, either Party may pursue and fund at its own cost and expenses the Subsequent Development (the " Developing Party "), subject to the other Party’s (the " Non-Developing Party ") right to opt-in in the conduct and funding of the Subsequent Development (the " Opt-in ").

                (ii) Conduct of the Sole Subsequent Development

                  (1) Reporting. The Developing Party shall provide the JDC with quarterly reports outlining the results of each completed material pre-clinical and clinical study during the preceding calendar quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developing Party shall not be required to continue any Sole Subsequent Development or to complete any tasks therein, prior to the time the other Party exercises its rights to Opt-in.

                  (2) Territorial Restrictions. If Ipsen is the Developing Party, it shall only carry out the development activities under the Sole Subsequent Development in the European Territory or, outside the European Territory, but only with the prior written consent of GTx which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If GTx is the Developing Party, it shall only carry out development activities under the Sole Subsequent Development in the GTx Territory or, in the European Territory, but only with the prior written consent of Ipsen which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                  (3) Development Costs under Sole Subsequent Development. The Developing Party shall be responsible for all development costs related to such Sole Subsequent Development, subject to Opt-in by the other Party and sharing of costs pursuant to Section 4.3(c)(iii)(3) below (the " Pre Opt-in Development Costs "). The Developing Party shall record separately in its books in an auditable manner, all its Pre Opt-in Development Costs including costs of acquiring ownership or Control of Patents or Know-How in relation to the New Product.

                  (4) Provision of Information . The Developing Party shall provide to the Non-Developing Party, on a continuing basis, all relevant information relating to the Sole Subsequent Development through the JDC (the " Opt-in Information "). Such information shall include but is not limited to: [ * ] . The Non-Developing Party shall only use such Opt-in Information to decide whether to exercise an Opt-in.

                    If Non-Developing Party does not exercise an Opt-in, such Party shall not use such Opt-in Information for any other purpose, shall return the same to the Developing Party and shall maintain its confidentiality, provided that such information qualifies as Know-How of the Developing Party.

                    The Non-Developing Party may request additional information

which would be reasonably material for it to make an Opt-in decision and the Developing Party shall supply such information to the extent it is reasonably available and necessary for the Opt-in decision.

                (5) Third Party License. In the event the Developing Party decides to enter into a Third Party License, such Developing Party shall so inform in advance the Non-Developing Party and provide the Non-Developing Party with the opportunity to make any reasonable recommendation with respect to the terms and conditions of the Third Party License, provided however, that the Developing Party shall have the sole right to negotiate and execute the Third Party License.

                (6) Inventions under the Sole Subsequent Development. Any Inventions made by the Developing Party during the course of, or in furtherance of, and as direct result of the development activities in the Sole Subsequent Development shall be owned by the Developing Party and shall be considered as an Ipsen Invention if the Developing Party is Ipsen and a GTx Invention if the Developing Party is GTx.

                (iii) Opt-in.

                  (1) Opt-In Period . With respect to each Sole Subsequent Development Plan, the Non-Developing Party (the " Opt-in Party ") shall have the right to Opt-in in the performance and the funding of such Subsequent Development at such times during the performance of the Sole Subsequent Development as are set forth below (each, an " Opt-in Period "):
