Joint Remediation Committee If the Sellers (acting reasonably) determine that the Purchasers have committed a Major Default, then, at the election of the Sellers, within three (3) Business Days of the Sellers providing the Purchasers written notice of such determination, the Sellers and the Purchasers shall establish a joint remediation committee of designated executives from the Sellers and the Purchasers (“Joint Remediation Committee”) consisting of three (3) members of each of the Sellers and the Purchasers.

Each member of the Joint Remediation Committee shall have sufficient authority on the part of his or her respective party to make decisions relating to matters reviewed by the Joint Remediation Committee, and shall be approved by the other party (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld). The Joint Remediation Committee shall have access to Purchaser Personnel that are primarily responsible for the area of the business relationship (such as information technology, data security or regulatory) where the breaches giving rise to the Major Default arise (such Purchaser Personnel, collectively, the “Subject Matter Experts”). The Sellers and the Purchasers shall cause their respective members on the Joint Remediation Committee to, and the Purchasers shall cause the Subject Matter Experts to, act in good faith in connection with the development of the Corrective Action Plan.

The JSC shall determine the specific goals for the Collaboration, shall manage the ongoing research conducted under the Collaboration in accordance with the Research Plan, shall monitor the progress and results of such work, and shall oversee and coordinate the development and commercialization of Compounds (other than Collaboration Products); provided, however, that the JSC shall not have decision-making authority with respect to the development and commercialization of Collaboration Products, which shall be governed by the CSC.

All decisions of the JSC shall require unanimous approval, with the representatives of each Party collectively having one (1) vote, provided in the event of a deadlock, the issue shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officer of Curis and the Senior Vice President of Research of Genentech, or their respective designees, who shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve such issue within thirty (30) days. If such executives cannot resolve such matter, then Genentech shall have final decision-making authority with regard to decisions regarding the Collaboration (including, without limitation, the JSC’s designation of a Compound as either a Lead Product or Excluded Product); provided, however, that in no event shall Genentech have the right or power to take any of the following actions without the approval of Curis’ representatives on the JSC: (a) approve the initial Research Plan (an outline of which has been agreed upon by the Parties as of the Effective Date); (b) amend or modify this Agreement or the Research Plan; (c) resolve any such matter in a manner that conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Research Plan); (d) make any decision with respect to the development or commercialization of Curis Products; or (e) make any decision with respect to the prosecution, maintenance, defense or enforcement of any Curis Patents.

A reasonable number of additional representatives of a Party may attend meetings of the JSC in a non-voting capacity. The JSC shall exist for so long as either any work is being conducted under the Research Plan or any Compound is being developed or commercialized by Genentech, Curis, or any of their respective Affiliate(s) or sublicensee(s) in any Major Market. The JSC shall also be responsible for designating one or more representatives of each Party with expertise in patent law (which individuals need not be members of the JSC) to oversee intellectual property matters relating to the Collaboration, subject to the provisions of Article 10, and such patent committee shall coordinate with and report to the JSC.
Joint Development Committee (a) The Parties shall establish a Joint Development Committee (the “Joint Development Committee” or “JDC”), comprised of [**] representatives of Ikaria and [**] representatives of BioLineRx, to oversee the Development of Products.

Each Party shall bear its own costs with respect to its participation on the JDC. Prior to every meeting of the JDC, Ikaria will provide to the JDC detailed reports describing Ikaria’s current clinical and development activities and plans.

(d) The JDC shall only act unanimously, with each Party given one (1) vote regardless of the number of representatives.
