Decision-Making All decisions of the JCC require unanimous agreement of the Parties, with each Party having one (1) vote on all matters presented to the JCC for resolution or decision. The members of the JCC will attempt in good faith to reach consensus on all matters before the JCC. In the event that the JCC cannot, after such good-faith efforts, reach agreement on a matter within the jurisdiction of the JCC, including any adoption, amendment or update to a Co-Promotion Plan within […***…], the issue shall be elevated to a Executive Officer of each of Ambit and Astellas, to seek in good faith to reach agreement on the issue. Solely in the case of a dispute regarding the Direct Marketing/Promotion Expenses or the Indirect Marketing Expenses proposed to be included in the Co-Promotion Plan budget (or any proposed amendment or update thereto) (in each case, a “Proposed Expense Dispute”), the Parties shall exchange written proposals regarding the portion of the budget in dispute in advance of elevating such dispute to the Executive Officers. In the event such executives cannot resolve the issue after good-faith efforts within […***…], then (a) if the dispute is a Proposed Expense Dispute, either Party shall have the right to cause the Dispute to be resolved by expedited arbitration pursuant to Exhibit E, and (b) if the dispute concerns any other issue the issue shall be decided by Astellas, in its reasonable discretion but subject to Astellas’s obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts as set forth in Section 3.6.1 and taking into account the legitimate business issues of Ambit with respect to the issue. Astellas shall provide Ambit with a Decision Notice with respect to such decision, which decision shall be final and binding on the Parties. For clarity, in the event of a dispute concerning the Co-Promotion Plan budget which is resolved by expedited arbitration, Astellas may, but shall not be required to, perform the activities contemplated in its proposed Co-Promotion Plan budget, but the Direct Marketing/Promotion Expenses and Indirect Marketing Expenses incurred by Astellas during the Calendar Year covered by the disputed budget shall only be included in the calculation of the Annual U.S. Profit/Loss up to the amount of the Arbitrator-Determined Marketing Budget (as defined in Exhibit E), and such additional amounts shall be borne solely by Astellas. ***Confidential Treatment Requested CONFIDENTIAL 4.
