approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. ALLERGAN will have

thirty (30) calendar days to review the representation of the ALLERGAN Product

Trademarks. If ALLERGAN does not provide written notice of its approval or

disapproval (together with its reasons for such disapproval) within such thirty

(30) calendar day period, ALLERGAN will be deemed to have approved such

representation. For the avoidance of doubt, ALLERGAN will retain no right to use

consent.

except as provided in Section 11.3, to use ALLERGAN Corporate Trademarks as

trademarks solely in connection with the use, sale, offering for sale, and

import of Product in the Field of Use in the Territory. All representations of

ALLERGAN Corporate Trademarks that GSK intends to use, if not previously

approved by ALLERGAN as provided in this Section 2.2.2, will first be submitted

to ALLERGAN for approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

ALLERGAN will have thirty (30) calendar days to review the representation of the

ALLERGAN Corporate Trademarks. If ALLERGAN does not provide written notice of

its approval or disapproval (together with its reasons for such disapproval)

within such thirty (30) calendar day period, ALLERGAN will be deemed to have

approved such representation.

 

          2.2.3 Except for any Housemarks of GSK, ALLERGAN will own all

trademarks used in connection with Product in the Field of Use in the Territory.

Except for any Housemarks of GSK, GSK will not own any of the trademarks that it

Agreement.

 

          2.3.2 Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, GSK and its

Affiliates have and will retain sole and exclusive Control of the GSK Patent

Rights and GSK Housemarks. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no

right, title, or interest is granted by GSK to ALLERGAN in, to, or under the GSK

Patent Rights and/or GSK Housemarks, and, except as expressly provided herein,

ALLERGAN will have no right to assign to any Third Party any right or interest

Agreement.

 

     2.4 Conditions Precedent to Sublicense. GSK will have the right to grant

sublicenses to Third Parties and Affiliates to its license and option rights

(e) GSK provides to ALLERGAN a copy of those terms and conditions contained in

each such sublicense which demonstrate compliance with the requirements in (b),

(c), and (d) of this Section 2.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, GSK

rights under ALLERGAN Patent Rights, ALLERGAN Know-How, or ALLERGAN Trademarks.

to any requests from GSK or its Affiliates to sublicense any of its and their

rights under this Agreement to the ALLERGAN Patent Rights, ALLERGAN Know-How,

and/or ALLERGAN Trademarks, as provided above. If ALLERGAN does not provide its

written consent or refusal to consent (together with its reasons for such

disapproval) to any such sublicense within such *** period, ALLERGAN will be

deemed to have consented to such request to sublicense from GSK or its

Affiliate. ALLERGAN's consent pursuant to (a) of this Section 2.4 will not be

required for grants of sublicenses by GSK to Affiliates of GSK, but the

requirement in (b), (c), and (d) of this Section 2.4 will apply to any such

grants of sublicenses by GSK to Affiliates of GSK. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 2.4 will in no

way apply to GSK's sublicense of any of its rights under Section 2.1.1 to any

Affiliate or Third Party that is providing services to GSK relating to this

Agreement (e.g., a Clinical Research Organization (CRO) or distributor) and that

GSK will have the right at any time during the Term, without complying with any

of the requirements set forth in (a) through (e) of this Section 2.4, to

sublicense any of its rights under Section 2.1.1, with the right to grant

further sublicenses in accordance with this Section 2.4, to any Affiliate or

Third Party that is providing services to GSK or its Affiliates relating to this

Agreement; provided, however, that any such Third Party or Affiliate (or

sub-contractor thereof) shall use those rights solely for the purpose of

providing such services to GSK; and further provided, however, that GSK will

remain fully and unconditionally obligated and responsible for the full and

complete performance of all of its obligations under the terms and conditions of

this Agreement whether or not such performance is carried out by GSK or its

Affiliates or Third Parties.

 

     2.5 Co-Promotion Option. At any time during such period of the Term that is

after thirty (30) months after the GSK Sales Commencement Date, ALLERGAN will

have the non-sublicenseable, non-assignable right, but not an obligation,

exercisable by giving not less than ninety (90) calendar days' prior written

notice to GSK, to co-promote Product in the Field of Use in the Territory,

directly or through its Affiliates, in accordance with the key terms set out in

Exhibit D (the "Co-Promotion Option"). Upon exercise of such Co-Promotion

Option, ALLERGAN will actively detail and promote Product in the Field of Use in

the Territory during the Co-Promotion Term as directed by the Territory Joint

Commercial Committee and in accordance with the key terms set out in Exhibit D.

The "Co-Promotion Term" will be the period beginning on the date of ALLERGAN's

exercise of the Co-Promotion Option as provided in this Section 2.5 and ending

on the earlier of (a) the expiration of this Agreement, (b) the termination of

this Agreement for any reason, (c) the termination of ALLERGAN's co-promotion

rights relating to Product as provided in this Agreement by ALLERGAN for any

reason, or (d) the termination of ALLERGAN's co-promotion rights relating to

Product as provided in this Agreement by GSK as a result of a material breach by

(including, without limitation, Exhibit D), which breach is not cured by

ALLERGAN within sixty (60) calendar days after written notice thereof from GSK.

Parties in order for GSK and its Affiliates to use, sell, offer for sale, and

import Product in the Field of Use in the Territory, without infringing the

obtain and maintain such Third Party licenses solely with respect to the

Territory. If, as a result of GSK obtaining and maintaining such Third Party

licenses, it is necessary for GSK to make royalty payments and/or license fee

payments to such Third Party (collectively, the "Third Party Payments") in order

for GSK to practice the rights granted hereunder to the ALLERGAN Patent Rights

and ALLERGAN Know-How without infringing such Third Party's rights, GSK will be

entitled to offset *** of all such Third Party Payments against any royalties

owed to ALLERGAN under this Agreement during the Term.

 

               (c) If, in any Calendar Year, the Standard Cost exceeds the

Allowable Standard Cost, ALLERGAN will credit against the royalty payable under

Section 3.2.1 of this Agreement in such Calendar Year, an amount equal to the

difference between (i) the Standard Cost plus *** and (ii) the Allowable

Standard Cost plus ***, multiplied by the number of Units of Product purchased

by GSK during such Calendar Year; provided such difference was actually incurred

by GSK.

 

     3.3 GSK Royalty Term. Subject to Section 9.5.1(a), the obligation of GSK to

pay royalties owed to ALLERGAN under Section 3.2.1 will commence on the GSK

Sales Commencement Date and continue until the expiration, pursuant to Section

9.1 or Section 9.2.3, or earlier termination, pursuant to Section 9.3, of the

Term. The obligation of GSK to pay the additional royalty owed to ALLERGAN under

Section 3.2.2(a) will, if all conditions are satisfied by ALLERGAN as provided

in Section 3.2.2(a), commence at the beginning of the Co-Promotion Term and

     3.4 Tail Period Payments. Commencing on first (1st) day of the Tail Period

          3.5.2 In consideration for ALLERGAN's conduct of the Product

Improvement and Enhancement activities as provided in Section 3.5.1 and subject

the end of such six (6) month period, will provide to GSK a written report

detailing the Product Improvement and Enhancement activities showing progress on

delivering some or all of such Product Improvement and Enhancement activities

outlined in Exhibit E conducted by ALLERGAN during the just-ended six (6) month

period and an invoice for GSK's share of the costs and expenses of conducting

such activities during such six (6) month period. Within thirty (30) days after

receipt by GSK of (i) such report and such invoice and (ii) a letter from a

manager of ALLERGAN confirming that ALLERGAN's total global expenditures in

conducting such Product Improvement and Enhancement activities in the just-ended

six (6) month period ***, GSK will pay to ALLERGAN the amount corresponding to

such invoice. ALLERGAN covenants and agrees that it will use such payments

solely to cover a portion of the costs and expenses incurred by ALLERGAN and its

Affiliates in conducting the Product Improvements and Enhancements activities

set forth on Exhibit E. In the event that ALLERGAN does not incur any costs and

expenses in conducting Product Improvement and Enhancement activities in a six

(6) month period, no payments will be due for such six (6) month period to

ALLERGAN from GSK pursuant to this Section 3.5.2.

 

          3.5.3 If ALLERGAN and GSK mutually agree in writing that ALLERGAN will

engage in Product Improvement and Enhancement activities in addition to the

after the last day of each Calendar Year during the Term, or portion thereof if

the total payment due pursuant to Section 3.2.1 and, if applicable, 3.2.2(a) in

any Calendar Year is greater than the total for each such amount that GSK has

paid under Section 3.6.1 in such Calendar Year, the difference will be paid by

GSK to ALLERGAN within sixty (60) days after the last day of such Calendar Year,

or portion thereof if applicable. In the event the total payment due pursuant to

Section 3.2.1 and, if applicable, 3.2.2(a) in any Calendar Year is less than the

has paid under Section 3.6.1 in such Calendar Year, the difference will be paid

by ALLERGAN to GSK within sixty (60) days after the last day of such Calendar

Year, or portion thereof if applicable.

 

               (b) Within sixty (60) calendar days after the last day of each

Calendar Year during the Tail Period, or portion thereof if applicable, ALLERGAN

will calculate the Tail Period Payments due to GSK pursuant to Section 3.4 for

such Calendar Year. In the event the total payment due pursuant to Section 3.4

in any Calendar Year is greater than the total amount that ALLERGAN has paid

under Section 3.6.2 in such Calendar Year, the difference will be paid by

ALLERGAN to GSK within sixty (60) days after the last day of such Calendar Year,

or portion thereof if applicable. In the event the total payment due pursuant to

Section 3.4 in any Calendar Year is less than the total amount that ALLERGAN has

paid under Section 3.6.2 in such Calendar Year, the difference will be paid by

GSK to ALLERGAN within sixty (60) days after the last day of such Calendar Year,

or portion thereof if applicable.

 

          3.6.4 All payments made under this Agreement will be made in U.S.

dollars. All payments will be made by check or wire transfer in immediately

available funds to the following bank account or to such other bank account

designated in writing by ALLERGAN:

 

               ***

 

For sales of Product in Japanese Yen or in any currency other than U.S. dollars:

 

               (a) With respect to payments made by GSK to ALLERGAN under this

Agreement, GSK's Net Sales, as defined in Section 1.46, will be calculated in

accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards consistently

applied. GSK Net Sales will be converted into U.S. dollars using the average

exchange rates as calculated and utilized by GSK's group reporting system and

published accounts. The current method uses spot exchange rates sourced from

Reuters/Bloomberg and if changed, GSK will notify ALLERGAN of the revised method

in advance of it being applied.

 

               (b) With respect to payments made by ALLERGAN to GSK pursuant to

Section 3.4, ALLERGAN's Net Sales, as defined in Section 1.46, will be

calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles

consistently applied. Net Sales will be converted into U.S. dollars using the

average exchange rates as calculated and utilized by ALLERGAN's reporting

systems and published accounts. The current method uses the monthly average of

daily exchange rates obtained from Bloomberg to convert sales in local currency

into U.S. dollars. If this methodology is changed ALLERGAN will notify GSK of

the revised methodology in advance of it being applied.

 

     3.7 Late Payment Interest. Any payment due and payable under the terms and

conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation any royalty payment

and any Tail Period Payments, made by GSK or ALLERGAN after the date such

payment is due and payable, will bear interest as of the day after the date such

payment was due and payable, and will continue to accrue such interest until

such payment is made, at rate equal to *** per month. The

payment of such interest will not limit either Party from exercising any other

rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

 

     3.8 Taxes. To the extent a statutory tax withholding obligation is imposed

by a governmental authority upon any payment made by a Party (the "Payor") to

the other Party (the "Payee") under this Agreement, including, for example,

royalty payments, due and payable by the Payor to the Payee under the terms and

conditions of this Agreement, the Payor will be entitled to withhold from such

payment the amount, if any, of any tax assessed against the Payee and actually

withheld, provided that such tax is only for the account of the Payee and

evidence of the payment of such tax is promptly provided to the Payee. The Payor

will pay the amount of such tax to the proper taxing authority and will be

entitled to deduct the amount of such tax from the payment to be made by the

Payor to the Payee. The Payor will advise the Payee of any tax payment made for

the benefit of the Payee pursuant to this Section 3.8 and provide the Payee with

copies of tax receipts for all taxes paid and deducted from the payment due and

payable to the Payee, together with copies of all pertinent communications from

or with governmental authorities with respect thereto. At a Party's reasonable

request and subject to the requesting Party reimbursing any costs and expenses,

each Party will reasonably assist the requesting Party in any effort by a Party

in claiming any exemption from such deductions or withholdings under any double

taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force, and in

minimizing the amount required to be so withheld or deducted. ALLERGAN warrants

that ALLERGAN is resident for tax purposes in United States and that ALLERGAN is

entitled to relief from United Kingdom income tax under the terms of the double

tax agreement between the United Kingdom and the United States. ALLERGAN will

notify GSK immediately in writing in the event that ALLERGAN ceases to be

entitled to such relief. Pending receipt of formal certification from the United

Kingdom Inland Revenue, GSK may pay royalty income and any other payments under

this Agreement to ALLERGAN by deducting tax at a rate specified in the double

tax treaty between the United Kingdom and the United States. ALLERGAN agrees to

indemnify and hold harmless GSK against any loss, damage, expense, or liability

arising in any way from a breach by ALLERGAN of the warranties in this Section

3.8 or any future claim by a United Kingdom tax authority or other similar body

alleging that GSK was not entitled to deduct such withholding tax on such

payments at source at the treaty rate.

 

     3.9 Records and Reports. Any and all payments made by either Party to the

other pursuant to this Agreement will be accompanied by a written statement

setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such Party's Net Sales,

and, if applicable, the calculation of the average exchange rate utilized by

such Party to convert a local currency payment to U.S. dollars. Each Party will

maintain, and will require its Affiliates, and sublicensees, to maintain

complete and accurate records sufficient to enable accurate calculation of any

payments due by a Party to the other Party hereunder, including, without

limitation payment of any royalties and the Tail Period Payment. Such records

and books of account will be preserved by each Party and its respective

Affiliates and sublicensees, as applicable, for a period of three (3) years

after the end of the period covered by such records and books of account, which

obligation will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

understated, or that payments owed to ALLERGAN by GSK have been underpaid, by

more than *** for the period examined, in which case GSK will pay all reasonable

costs and expenses of the auditor or accountant incurred by ALLERGAN in the

course of making such determination.

 

          3.10.2 ALLERGAN will permit a GSK auditor, or an independent public

accountant designated by GSK and reasonably acceptable to ALLERGAN, to have

access, no more than once in each Calendar Year, during regular business hours

and upon at least sixty (60) calendar days' prior written notice, to ALLERGAN's

records and books, and ALLERGAN's Affiliates' and sublicensees' records and

books, to the extent necessary to determine the accuracy of ALLERGAN's Net Sales

reported, and payments made, by ALLERGAN to GSK pursuant to this Article 3

within the two (2) year period immediately preceding such an audit. If such

examination results in a determination that ALLERGAN's Net Sales or payments

owed to GSK by ALLERGAN have been understated, unpaid amounts due will be paid

by ALLERGAN to GSK promptly. If such examination results in a determination that

ALLERGAN's Net Sales or payments owed to GSK by ALLERGAN have been overstated,

overpaid amounts due will be re-paid by GSK to ALLERGAN promptly. The fees and

expenses of such auditor or accountant will be paid by GSK unless ALLERGAN's Net

Sales have been understated, or that payments owed to GSK by ALLERGAN have been

underpaid, by more than *** for the period examined, in which case ALLERGAN will

pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the auditor or accountant incurred by

GSK in the course of making such determination.

 

4.    TRANSITION ACTIVITIES

 

     4.1 Transition Period. The Parties acknowledge that due to Applicable Law,

during the period from the Effective Date and continuing until the date on which

Regulatory Authorities approve GSK or its Affiliate in the Territory becoming

continue to be the MAH for Product in the Territory. Accordingly, the Parties

Approval Applications in the Territory for Product for the Cosmetic Indication.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that prior to

the Closing Date, they will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates not

to, communicate in any way with the Regulatory Authorities (whether orally or in

writing) regarding the transfer of Regulatory Approvals for Product in the

Territory from ALLERGAN to GSK so as to enable GSK to become the MAH. As soon as

possible but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of

Approval Applications for Current Indications are transferred to GSK and GSK

receives notification by the MHLW that GSK is the MAH, the Transition Period

will immediately terminate, the Distribution Agreement will immediately

terminate, and GSK will become legally responsible for all communications with

MHLW relating to Product in the Territory. Further, all legal responsibility for

releasing Product in Japan, quality assurance/quality control, post-marketing

surveillance, and pharmacovigilance relating to Product in the Territory will

transfer to GSK at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Co-Development

Agreement will immediately terminate upon the later to occur of (a) the date on

which the Regulatory Approvals and Regulatory Approval Applications for Current

Indications are transferred to GSK and GSK receives notification by the MHLW

that GSK is the MAH or (b) the date on which the study 909 database is locked,

as described in Exhibit H.

for GSK's needs, ALLERGAN will permit GSK to have access to the original

documents and materials. In the event that ALLERGAN elects to provide original

documents and materials, GSK will permit ALLERGAN to have access to such

original documents and materials for use by ALLERGAN for purposes consistent

with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such original documents and

materials will be provided to GSK in accordance with the following:

 

          4.5.1 GSK will maintain original documents and materials under safe

and secure conditions typically used by GSK to maintain its own similar

documents and materials. Specifically, GSK will maintain such original documents

and materials in files located in a GSK facility or at another secure facility

ALLERGAN in writing sixty (60) calendar days in advance of such transfer.

 

          4.5.2 If a Regulatory Authority requires ALLERGAN, or an Affiliate of

ALLERGAN, to provide the Regulatory Authority with access to any of the original

documents or materials transferred by ALLERGAN or its Affiliate to GSK as

provided in this Article 4, GSK will permit ALLERGAN, its employees, agents, or

independent contractors, and/or officials or representatives of the Regulatory

Authority, as appropriate, access to the original documents and materials. Such

access will be provided at the site where the original documents and materials

are maintained by GSK, during normal business hours (Monday through Friday

between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.) after receipt of reasonable written notice (being at

least five (5) calendar days where practicable but in any case not less than

twenty-four (24) hours advance written notice from ALLERGAN (seventy-two (72)

hours if such notice arrives on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday), or at such other

facility and during such hours as agreed upon by GSK, ALLERGAN, and/or the

Regulatory Authority. The term "access" will mean, for the purposes of this

Section 4.5.2, that ALLERGAN and/or the Regulatory Authority, as appropriate,

will have possession of the original documents and materials at the GSK facility

where the original documents and materials are maintained, or at such other

facility as agreed upon by ALLERGAN and GSK and/or the Regulatory Authority, for

sufficient time to allow ALLERGAN to review the original documents in detail

and/or to allow the Regulatory Authority to complete its review. Prior to the

grant of access, ALLERGAN will provide GSK with a copy of the relevant written

Regulatory Authority communication or a copy of ALLERGAN's written contact

report of an oral request by the Regulatory Authority for such access, if such

letter or contact report exists.

 

          4.5.3 Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, GSK will

return to ALLERGAN all documents and materials provided by ALLERGAN to GSK as

provided in this Article 4 in accordance with Section 9.4.3.

          4.6.3 In the event that GSK or an Affiliate of GSK requests

Section 4.6.1 or 4.6.2, respectively, ALLERGAN will use Commercially Reasonable

Efforts, but will have no obligation, to provide such Consultations. In the

event that ALLERGAN and GSK agree that Consultations in excess of the total

          4.6.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there will be no time

limit on communications to ALLERGAN from GSK pertaining to the acquisition of

development or regulatory documents or data identified as missing after the

transfer of Regulatory Approvals and ALLERGAN Know-How was, in the opinion of

documents or data; provided that such documents or data are in ALLERGAN's

possession or are in the possession of an ALLERGAN contractor or investigator

and are retrievable upon exercise by ALLERGAN of Commercially Reasonable

Efforts.
