If GTX so notifies Orion of its interest, then the Parties shall discuss, and as appropriate, negotiate exclusively with each other with regard to an Additional Agreement for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days after Orion receives such notification from GTX. If the Parties are unable to or do not finalize and execute such Additional Agreement within such one hundred and eighty (180) day period, then GTX shall have no rights with respect to such Other Activities, and Orion or its Affiliate shall have the right to itself conduct such Other Activities or to grant to such Third Party a license and/or other right to conduct such Other Activities without further obligation to GTX with respect thereto.

      2.3 United States Government Rights. In the event it is determined that any GTX Patent Rights were developed with the support of the United States Government or any agency thereof (the “Government”), the Government will retain rights in the GTX Patent Rights as set forth in Title 35 U.S.C. §200 et seq. All rights herein granted to GTX are subject to any such rights held by the Government and further subject to any restrictions or obligations that may be imposed by the Government pursuant to such rights, at such time that it is determined.

      2.4 Orion’s Right of First Negotiation .

           2.4.1 Whereas Orion has considerable knowledge and experience in the marketing, sales and distribution of pharmaceutical products in, inter alia, Scandinavia (which term shall for purpose of this Section 2.4 comprise the countries of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden), GTX undertakes to regard Orion as its preferential partner for the marketing, sales and distribution of the Product in Scandinavia for use in the Field. Consequently, GTX grants, and shall cause its Affiliates and Unaffiliated Sublicensees who receive a sublicense under the license granted to GTX pursuant to Section 2.1.1 in Scandinavia to grant, to Orion a right of first negotiation to negotiate in good faith an agreement(s) under commercially reasonable terms and conditions regarding the marketing, sales and/or distribution by Orion of the Product in Scandinavia for use in the Field, with the express understanding that such commercially reasonable terms and conditions shall not comprise an obligation to develop and register the Product for use in the Field in any country of Scandinavia.

           2.4.2 Within thirty (30) days after Orion’s receipt of a first written offer from GTX regarding commercially reasonable terms and conditions governing such rights, Orion shall notify GTX in writing if it wishes to negotiate the terms and conditions under which Orion could obtain the rights contemplated in this Section 2.4. Should Orion so exercise such right, the Parties shall negotiate exclusively with each other and in good faith the commercially reasonable terms and conditions for a license and distribution agreement for the marketing, sales and distribution by Orion of the Product in Scandinavia for use in the Field, such negotiations to be completed within one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of Orion’s notification to GTX. Any deadlines may be extended by mutual agreement upon reasonable request. If Orion fails to provide written notification to GTX by the end of the thirty (30) day period; Orion notifies GTX that it does not wish to enter into negotiations; or the Parties, despite conducting good faith negotiations, are unable to finalize the material commercial terms of agreement within such one hundred and eighty (180) day period (any such event, a “Termination of the Orion Right”), Orion shall have no further right under this Agreement to market, sell and distribute the Product in Scandinavia and GTX shall be free to offer to or enter into an agreement with any Third Party or any GTX Affiliate with respect to such activities after the Termination of the Orion Right occurs.

           2.4.3 In the event that GTX’s Unaffiliated Sublicensee for Product for use in the Field in the USA does not obtain the right and license to sell, have sold, import, market and distribute the Product in the Field in Europe at the time of execution of the sublicense agreement for the Product for use in the Field in the USA, then Orion shall, on the terms and conditions of Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, have a right of first negotiation to negotiate in good faith an agreement(s) under commercially reasonable terms and conditions regarding the marketing, sales and/or distribution of the Product for use in the Field in Europe.

           6.1.1 Levels of MSRs. GTX shall have annual minimum sales requirements for Product for use in the Field (“MSRs”) in the second year and fourth year after Product Launch in the USA equal to [ * ] of GTX’s annual Product Sales Projections (as defined below) in the USA. To establish such projections for the purpose of the foregoing sentence, GTX shall provide to Orion annual Product Sales Projections in the USA within ninety (90) days after GTX, its Affiliate or Unaffiliated Sublicensee completes the last pivotal clinical trial as provided in the GTX Final Development and Registration Plan for Product in the USA. The Parties shall set forth in Schedule D GTX’s MSR obligations within sixty (60) days after GTX provides such projections, and such MSRs shall be made a part hereof. Beginning with the [ * ] year after Product Launch in USA for use in the Field until the end of the Term, GTX shall have an annual MSR equal to [ * ] of the average of GTX’s Actual Product Sales (as defined below) in the USA for Product in the Field for the [ * ] . “Product Sales Projections” means GTX’s good faith estimates of the target patient population in a given year for Products in the Field, multiplied by the price per tablet of Product for use in the Field that GTX plans to be able to charge during the [ * ] after Product Launch. “Actual Product Sales” means GTX’s, its Affiliate’s or a GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensee’s actual Net Sales of Product in the Field during a given year in the USA.

     For example, in year [ * ] if the target patient population is [ * ] subjects in the Field and the Product would be consumed [ * ] for the Field at a hypothetical price of [ * ] , GTX’s Product Sales Projections would [ * ] . The hypothetical price for a tablet set forth above is hypothetical and was only used for the sole purpose of explaining the mechanism for calculating the Product Sales Projections and MSRs. Nothing contained in such example shall be so construed to deny the right of GTX to freely set its resale price of the Product.

           6.1.2 Product Launch Date. “Product Launch in USA” shall be determined by the date on which the Product has received Regulatory Approval and is commercially available in the USA as follows: (i) if such date occurs during the first six (6) months of any calendar year (i.e., January 1-June 30), Product Launch in USA shall be deemed to have

occurred on January 1 of such calendar year, and (ii) if such date occurs during the last six (6) months of any calendar year (i.e., July 1-December 31), Product Launch in USA shall be deemed to have occurred on January 1 of the following calendar year.

           6.1.3 Adjustment. GTX’s annual Product Sales Projections for the Field in the USA shall be subject to adjustment by written agreement of the Parties, with a corresponding adjustment in the MSRs, in the event of government intervention in given markets (including, but not limited to, government mandated health care reforms, rebates or regulatory changes), failure to obtain (or delay in obtaining) approval for a Product indication in the Field, or other events or causes affecting the market for the Product for use in the Field beyond the control of GTX, including but not limited to lower than anticipated pricing approvals measured on an aggregate basis throughout USA; GTX Patent Rights and/or Orion Patent Rights invalidation, infringement or expiration; Product safety and/or efficacy issues and/or major therapeutic advances materially affecting the market potential for the Product for use in the Field (including but not limited to new surgical procedures or introduction of new competitive products with superior safety and/or efficacy profiles); or a Force Majeure event (as described in Section 26).

           6.1.4 Failure to Achieve MSRs. If GTX’s annual Product Sales in USA for the Field are less than the MSRs in any applicable calendar year, GTX shall, without prejudice to its payment obligations under Section 3.1, pay Orion royalties corresponding to the “shortfall” between the actual royalties paid by GTX for such year and the royalties which would have been payable pursuant to Section 3.1 had GTX achieved the MSRs during such year. GTX’s payment of such “shortfall” hereunder shall be Orion’s sole and exclusive remedy for GTX’s failure to achieve MSRs in USA for such year. However, if GTX fails to pay such “shortfall,” then Orion may, without prejudice to its right to such shortfall, also terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 20.2.2.

      6.2 No Minimum Sales Requirements Outside of USA . GTX shall not have any MSRs with respect to sale of the Product in any countries in GTX Territory outside of the USA.

GTX and Orion shall agree in writing upon annual target sales objectives for the Product for use in the Field in the USA, commencing with the fourth calendar year after First Commercial Sale of the Product for use in the Field in the USA, provided that such annual target sales objectives shall not be considered MSRs for any purposes, but instead shall be used by the Parties for informational and planning purposes and shall be one (1) factor, among others, to be considered in assessing whether GTX has complied with its commercially reasonable obligations hereunder. GTX’s level of sales and marketing expenses for the Product for use in the Field in the USA and events or causes affecting the market for the Product for use in the Field beyond the control of GTX shall also be among the factors to be considered in assessing whether GTX has complied with its commercially reasonable obligations hereunder.

Further, GTX’s, its Affiliates’ or a GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensee’s decision to delay the launch of the Product for use in the Field in any Major Country for up to six (6) months after GTX or its Affiliates have obtained Regulatory Approval in such country, shall not be deemed a failure to use commercially reasonable efforts pursuant to Section 6.3 to the extent that GTX can demonstrate that such delay was attributable to bona fide business reasons affecting the Product.

           6.4.2 Decisions Not to Launch. GTX shall promptly notify Orion in writing if GTX, its Affiliate or a GTX Unaffiliated Sublicensee, as applicable, determines to delay the launch of the Product for use in a given indication in the Field in any Major Country after obtaining Regulatory Approval of Product therefor.
