(ii)    Allergan may, at its option, choose to co-develop and co-promote such Option Product with Spectrum by delivering to Spectrum written notice within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Option Notice. If Allergan elects to co-develop and/or co-promote such Option Product with Spectrum, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a written agreement (the “ Option Product Agreement ”) covering the following:

(A)     the terms for development and/or commercialization of such Option Product;

(B)     a committee structure for the oversight of the development, marketing and commercialization of the Option Product, with similar decision-making rules as those in effect under this Agreement; and

(C)     cross licenses under the Allergan Solely Developed Know How, Licensed Intellectual Property and Allergan’s rights in the Joint Intellectual Property to develop and commercialize such Option Product under similar terms to those set forth in this Agreement.

(iii)    If Allergan chooses not to co-develop and co-promote such Option Product with Spectrum (as indicated by Allergan’s delivery of written notice to Spectrum rejecting such rights, or failure to make an affirmative election within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Option Notice), or the Parties fail to enter into an Option Product Agreement, then Spectrum will have the right to pursue the development and commercialization of such Option Product for the scope described to Allergan in the Option Notice on its own and at its own expense (by itself or with a Third Party, subject to Section 2.5(b)(iv)), and the following will apply:

(A)     Allergan agrees to negotiate in good faith for a reasonable period the terms of a commercially reasonable royalty-bearing license under the Allergan Solely Developed Know How and Allergan’s rights under the Joint Intellectual Property for Spectrum to develop and commercialize the Option Product for use outside the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory (any disagreement shall be subject to binding arbitration pursuant to the terms of Section 2.4(c));

(B)     Spectrum shall not use any Trademark that is the same as, or similar to (so as to cause confusion in consumers), the Acquired Trademarks or any other Trademark used by Allergan or its Affiliates in Spectrum’s development or commercialization of the Option Product;

(C)     Spectrum will package the Option Product in a manner that will not be confused with the Licensed Product in the Field of Use, and will label such Option Product as “not for bladder cancer treatment”; and

(D)     Spectrum will not promote, market, sell or distribute such Option Product for use in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, and will use diligent efforts to prevent and curb any use of such Option Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, including meeting the requirements set forth in Sections 2.7(a) and (d).

(iv)     If Allergan opts out of developing and/or commercializing an Option Product under subsection (iii) or the Parties fail to enter into an Option Product Agreement, and Spectrum or any of its Affiliates desires to commence development or commercialization of such Option Product with a Third Party (excluding any Affiliate of Spectrum) (“ Proposed Transaction ”), then the following shall apply:

(A)     the terms of the Proposed Transaction under which Spectrum (or its Affiliate) contracts with such Third Party may not be more favorable to such

Third Party, taken as a whole, than the terms applicable to Allergan last offered to Spectrum by Allergan; and

(B)     if Spectrum (or its Affiliate) does not execute a definitive agreement for the Proposed Transaction with a Third Party within nine (9) months following the date that Allergan opts out under subsection (iii) or the Parties’ terminated negotiation of an Option Product Agreement, then Spectrum (or its Affiliate) shall be obligated to comply with this Section 2.5(b) again prior to entering into a Proposed Transaction with a Third Party (i.e., Spectrum (or its Affiliate) shall deliver a new Option Notice under Section 2.5(b)(i) and update its data delivery, and recommence the option process with Allergan).

For clarity, if Allergan opts out of developing and/or commercializing an Option Product under subsection (iii) or fails to make an affirmative election within ninety (90) days after the receipt of an Option Notice, or the Parties fail to enter into an Option Product Agreement, then Spectrum may then commence a clinical trial of the Option Product for use outside the Field of Use. Spectrum acknowledges and agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will use this process to circumvent the intent of this Section 2.5(b).

2.6      Additional Restrictions .

(a)     For the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending **** after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, Allergan will not develop or commercialize any formulation including Apaziquone, except as a Licensed Product in the Field of Use, without Spectrum’s written consent. It shall not be a breach of this subsection to the extent that: (A) there is a Change in Control of Allergan and the acquirer of Allergan’s stock or other securities or all or substantially all of the assets or any integral part of any Allergan, at the time of acquisition, is developing or commercializing itself or through its Affiliates any formulation that includes Apaziquone outside the Field of Use; or (B) Allergan directly or indirectly, including through an Affiliate, acquires or purchases the stock or other securities or all or substantially all of the assets or any integral part of any Third Party which at the time of acquisition is developing or commercializing itself or through its Affiliates any formulation that includes Apaziquone outside the Field of Use.

(b)     Except for Spectrum’s performance obligations hereunder, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (i) an Allergan Trigger Date (hereinafter defined), or (ii) **** after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, Spectrum and its Affiliates shall not, by license or otherwise, research, develop, make, use, market, sell, distribute or otherwise commercialize any Antineoplastic (hereinafter defined) in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory. It shall not be a breach of this subsection to the extent that: (A) there is a Change in Control of Spectrum and the acquirer of Spectrum’s stock or other securities or all or substantially all of the assets or any integral part of Spectrum, at the time of acquisition, is developing or commercializing itself or through its Affiliates an Antineoplastic in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory; or (B)

Spectrum directly or indirectly, including through an Affiliate, acquires or purchases the stock or other securities or all or substantially all of the assets or any integral part of any Third Party which at the time of acquisition is developing or commercializing itself or through its Affiliates any Antineoplastic in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory.

(c)     Except for the Licensed Product, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (i) a Spectrum Trigger Date (hereinafter defined), or (ii) **** after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, Allergan and its Affiliates shall not, by license or otherwise, research, develop, make, use, market, sell, distribute or otherwise commercialize any Antineoplastic in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory.

(c)      Allergan Cooperation. Allergan acknowledges that Spectrum does not possess manufacturing facilities and that Spectrum’s ability to perform its obligations under this Section 3.3 depends on the timely engagement of manufacturing subcontractors which Spectrum is obligated to engage hereunder. Allergan agrees to cooperate with Spectrum in the establishment of a commercial supply chain for the Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory and agrees not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to the selection of subcontractors or the approval of contracts.

(d)      Specifications; Additional Terms . The current specifications for the drug substance, drug product and diluent of the Licensed Product (“ Specifications ”) are attached hereto as Schedule 3.3(d) .

Product. If at any time more than ninety (90) days after the commencement of negotiation of such agreement, either Party believes such negotiations have reached an impasse, such Party may by written notice to the other Party cause a meeting of the Vice President of Global Technical Operations of Allergan and the Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum to seek to resolve such impasse. Such meeting shall be held within twenty (20) days following such written notice. If, following such meeting of senior executives, either Party believes an impasse still exists, then such Party may by written notice cause the Parties to engage in a non-binding mediation of their differences over the proposed agreement. Unless the Parties otherwise agree at the time, such mediation, including the selection of the mediator, shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The fees and costs of the mediator shall be borne equally by the Parties, regardless of the outcome of the mediation. If the Parties cannot agree through mediation to the terms of the supply agreement, then Spectrum will enable Allergan by assigning the Spectrum Manufacturing Agreements to Allergan in addition to transferring to Allergan the validated process for manufacturing and the other items set forth in subsection (f) below.

(f)      Right to Terminate . Allergan may terminate Spectrum’s responsibility to have manufactured and supplied Licensed Product to Allergan for sale in the Allergan Territory under this Agreement at any time with prior written notice. Such termination shall be effective thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice, or such later date, at Allergan’s sole discretion, as necessary to complete transition to another manufacturer or to Allergan. Termination of Spectrum’s manufacture and supply obligation shall not relieve the Parties of any amounts owing between them. On termination of Spectrum’s manufacture and supply obligation, Spectrum shall provide to Allergan a copy of all of the then-current Know How Controlled by Spectrum necessary or useful for the manufacture of the Licensed Product in the Field of Use, shall make its manufacturing personnel available for reasonable consultation with Allergan regarding the processes for Licensed Product manufacture, and shall provide all other technical transfers of all parts of the validated process for the Licensed Product in the Field of Use, including Documents and other regulatory items. Subject to the terms of the Spectrum Manufacturing Agreements, Spectrum shall assign to Allergan, and Allergan shall assume responsibility under, all of Spectrum’s supply subcontracts for the Licensed Product applicable to the Field of Use. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith the transition of Spectrum’s sourcing of Licensed Product from such Third Party (for example, bifurcating the supply agreement). After termination of Spectrum’s manufacturing and supply obligations as set forth herein, Allergan shall be responsible for all supply and manufacture of Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Allergan Territory, including fulfilling such subcontract agreements from the applicable date of assignment. After Allergan terminates Spectrum’s manufacturing rights and responsibilities under this Section 3.3(f), to the extent that such rights and responsibilities are transferred to Allergan, Spectrum shall have no further performance obligation under this Section 3.3, and Allergan shall thereafter be responsible for compliance with the product quality representations set forth in Section 11.11 for Licensed Product manufactured for sale in the Co-Promotion Region, with any costs of non-compliance with such representations to be borne by Allergan and not included within allowable expenses.

The Parties shall reconcile their respective applicable Development Costs, and will deliver to the other Party, by the third business day after the new Fiscal Quarter, the backup requested by such other Party to complete such other Party’s quarterly accounting close. The estimate provided by each Party on the third business day shall be materially correct as regards actual Development Costs incurred. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, Allergan will provide Spectrum with an invoice representing thirty-five percent (35%) of the Development Costs incurred by Allegan during the previous Fiscal Quarter and Spectrum will process a payment to Allergan within thirty (30) days following receipt of this invoice.
