shall be reduced to [ * ] of the amount of the Royalty
Payment otherwise due to GTx on account of Net Sales of such
Licensed Product for the ADT Indication or [ * ] of the

warranties and representations made by GTx under Section 10.1
(b) of this Agreement, the amount of the Royalty Reduction in
any calendar year shall not exceed [ * ] of the Royalty
Payments (the " Royalty Reduction Cap ") that would have

sublicenses shall include an obligation for the licensee or the
sublicensee to account for and report its Net Sales of Licensed
Product on the same basis as if such sales were Net Sales by Ipsen,

the Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country:
(a) Ipsen shall promptly provide notice to GTx of its belief
that the COGS of a particular Licensed Product has exceeded or will
exceed [ * ] of Net Sales in such country. Ipsen shall
include with any such notice a calculation of such percentage and
appropriate documentation and records supporting its calculation of
COGS and Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country.

(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 [ * ] .

Payment due for such quarter and submit to GTx a report, on a
country by country basis, providing in reasonable detail an
accounting of all Net Sales (including an accounting of all unit
sales of Initial Products on a per dose and per Indication basis)
made during such calendar quarter, and the calculation prepared by
Ipsen to determine the applicable Royalty Payment due for such
quarter pursuant to this Article III. 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

ARTICLE IV
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
").

(
ii) Failure to Exercise Election . In the event
Ipsen does not make the Election within the period set forth in
Section 4.2(e)(i) above or fails to make the payments required
under Section 4.2(e)(iii) below, then GTx shall have the right
to terminate Ipsen’s license and associated rights to
Licensed Products for the PIN Indication, and thereafter GTx shall
have the exclusive right to commercialize the Licensed Product in
the European Territory for the PIN Indication, provided however
that such commercialization shall be made under a trademark which
shall not be confusingly similar to the Licensed Trademarks to be
used for the commercialization of the Initial Products in the ADT
Indication. Upon termination of such rights:
(1) Ipsen shall grant to GTx an exclusive,
royalty-free license under any Ipsen Inventions which would
directly result from the conduct of the Ipsen Initial Development
activities for the PIN Indication to Develop, use, sell, have sold,
offer for sale, import, export, and distribute the Licensed Product
for the PIN Indication in the European Territory;
(2) Within [ * ] of such termination, Ipsen
shall transfer to GTx all data from Preclinical Studies and
Clinical Studies and other related Information as Ipsen may then
Control pertaining to such Licensed Product for the treatment of
the PIN Indication, including any IND or similar Regulatory Agency
documents Ipsen may then Control for the purposes of conducting
Clinical Studies within the European Territory for the PIN
Indication;
(3) Ipsen shall use commercial reasonable efforts to
transfer to GTx all Regulatory Approvals relating to the Licensed
Product in the PIN Indication obtained in the European Territory;
and
(4) Ipsen shall cease all on-going Initial Development
of the Licensed Product in the PIN Indication in the European
Territory and shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant
to Section 4.2(e)(iii) below.
(iii) Election Fee and Payment of Past Initial Development
Expenses. In the event Ipsen makes such Election, Joint PIN
Indication Development Expenses (as defined in
Section 4.2(f)(iii)(2) of this Agreement) shall be considered
part of Joint Initial Development Expenses, and Ipsen will be
required to make the following payments : (i) within [ *
] as from the date of Election, the Election Fee (as provided
for in the chart below), (ii) within [ * ] as from the
date of Election, the reimbursement of the Joint PIN Initial
Development Expenses which shall have accrued from the date at
which the aggregate Joint Initial Development Expenses (now
inclusive of Joint PIN Initial Development Expenses) incurred by
GTx exceeded [ * ] in the aggregate and until the date of
Election (such costs during such period, the " Past Initial
Development Expenses ") with a premium as shown in the chart
below and (iii) the payment of the Joint PIN Development
Expenses as provided for in Section 4.2(f)(iii)(2) of this
Agreement.

(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.

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

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

(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

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

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

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.

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 ").

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

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 "

following completion" shall mean the receipt by the Non-Developing
Party of the results from the completed clinical trial at issue in
the form of a final report fully compliant with applicable
regulatory requirements, signed by Chief Research Officer and
delivered to the Non-Developing Party.
In
such event of Opt-in, the Non-Developing Party shall notify its
exercise of its right to Opt-in in writing to the JDC (the "
Opt-in Notification ").
