Joint Steering Committee Promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties will form a Joint Steering Committee (the “JSC”) composed of an equal number of employees of each of Curis and Genentech, but in no event to exceed four (4) members from each Party. 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. The presence of at least one (1) representative of each Party shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of any JSC meeting. 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. The JSC shall meet at such frequency as the JSC agrees, except that, until the filing of the first IND for a Lead Product utilizing Systemic Delivery in a Major Market, the JSC shall meet on at least a quarterly basis. Meetings of the JSC, and JSC dispute resolution meetings between Curis’ Chief Executive Officer and Genentech’s Senior Vice President of Research (or their designees), may be conducted by videoconference, teleconference or in person, as agreed by the Parties, and the Parties shall agree upon the time and place of meetings. 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.
