order to update at least the first [***] of the forecast to reflect significant changes to the operating assumptions based on, among other factors, the most current data from Clinical Trials and Regulatory Authority guidance. This [***] forecast will serve as the basis for the construction of the Binding Budget in the following year. If the ODC cannot agree on a Binding Budget for the succeeding calendar year (and the OSC cannot resolve any such disagreement), the Parties agree to fund only [***] until such time as the Parties have resolved any such disagreement pursuant to Article 15.
3.2 Development Activities. Each of Amylin and Takeda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to execute and perform its responsibilities, and cooperate with the other Party in its efforts to execute and perform its responsibilities, under the Development Plan including the Development Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in the Development Plan: (i) Amylin shall be responsible for the execution of all Development activities for each Product through the completion of all Phase 2 Clinical Trials of such Product for the purpose of obtaining Regulatory Approval in the United States; and (ii) Takeda shall be responsible for the execution of all other Development activities for the purpose of obtaining Regulatory Approval in the United States and in other countries of the Territory, in each case as set forth in the Development Plan and Development Budget for each Product; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, Takeda shall be responsible for the execution of all Phase 3 Clinical Trials, Post-Approval Clinical Trials and Regulatory Approval Clinical Trials of Products. The ODC shall determine and set forth in the Development Plan the respective responsibilities of each of the Parties with respect to all Development activities other than the Development activities otherwise described in this Section 3.2, and in Section 6.1 regarding the manufacture and provision of clinical supplies for use in Development activities.

Amylin shall have: (i) other than for Analogs of Amylin Licensed Compounds subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3.3(ii), the right, but not the obligation, to nominate any analog of any of the Amylin Licensed Compounds listed in Section 1.8(i)—(iv), provided such analog is not already an Amylin Licensed Compound and/or listed on Exhibit C, to be added as an Amylin Licensed Compound under this Agreement; and (ii) the obligation to nominate as an additional Amylin Licensed Compound under this Agreement, within a timeframe commencing [***] prior to and ending [***] after the commencement of IND-enabling activities (e.g., GLP toxicity studies) by Amylin, any Analog of any of the Amylin Licensed Compounds listed in Section 1.8(i)—(iv), which Analog demonstrates as a monotherapy, or as a combination therapy with a Licensed Compound or another Analog of any Licensed Compound (provided such combination therapy demonstrates a greater weight loss effect than either the Licensed Compound or Analog thereof as a monotherapy), weight loss that is equal to or exceeds [***] percent ([***] %) in a composite of pre-clinical studies and/or animal models, or any clinical trial. If Amylin nominates any analog or Analog to be added as an Amylin Licensed Compound pursuant to Section 3.3(i) or (ii) above, it will provide a written notice to Takeda identifying such analog or Analog, and provide such other information, including applicable pre-clinical study results and clinical trial results, as may be reasonably necessary for Takeda to determine whether to add such analog or Analog as an Amylin Licensed Compound. Takeda shall have [***] from the date of receipt of such written notice to inform Amylin it desires to add such analog or Analog as an Amylin
*** Confidential Treatment Requested
***Text Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Confidential Treatment Requested Under
17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
Licensed Compound. If Takeda informs Amylin in writing within such [***] ([***]) day time period that it does desire to add such analog or Analog as an Amylin Licensed Compound, then: (a) such analog or Analog shall immediately become an “Option Compound” and be considered an Amylin Licensed Compound hereunder; and (b) the ODC shall modify the Development Plan to provide for Development of the Option Compound. If Takeda informs Amylin in writing that it does not desire to add such analog or Analog as an Amylin Licensed Compound, or otherwise fails to respond to such written notice from Amylin within such [***] ([***]) day time period, then such analog or Analog shall not be an Option Compound and shall not be added as an Amylin Licensed Compound, and Amylin shall be free to develop such analog or Analog independently at its own expense; provided, however, if Amylin subsequently develops in the Field any analog or Analog that was subject to the procedures set forth in this Section 3.3 but was not added as an Amylin Licensed Compound, such analog or Analog shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.5.2 regarding the right of Takeda to opt-in to the Development of such analog or Analog (as if references to “Licensed Compound or Product” in Section 3.5.2 referred instead to “analog or Analog of Amylin Licensed Compound”).
3.4 Takeda Y-family Agonists and Takeda Nominated Compounds. Takeda shall have: (i) other than for any Takeda Y-family Agonist subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3.4(ii), the right, but not the obligation, to nominate any analog of a Takeda Y-family Agonist to be added as a Takeda Licensed Compound under this Agreement; and (ii) the obligation to nominate as an additional Takeda Licensed Compound under this Agreement, within a timeframe commencing [***] prior to and ending [***] after commencement of IND-enabling activities (e.g., GLP toxicity studies) by Takeda, a Takeda Y-family Agonist if such Takeda Y-family Agonist demonstrates as a monotherapy, or as a combination therapy with a Licensed Compound or an Analog of a Licensed Compound (provided such combination therapy demonstrates a greater weight loss effect than either the Licensed Compound or Analog thereof as a monotherapy), weight loss that is equal to or exceeds [***] ([***] %) in a composite of pre-clinical studies and/or animal models, or any clinical trial. If Takeda nominates any analog of a Takeda Y-family Agonist under Section 3.4(i) or a Takeda Y-family Agonist under Section 3.4(ii) (any of the foregoing, a “Takeda Nominated Compound”) to be added as a Takeda Licensed Compound under this Agreement, it will provide a written notice to Amylin, identifying such Takeda Nominated Compound, and provide such other information, including applicable pre-clinical study results and clinical trial results, as may be reasonably necessary for Amylin to determine whether to add such Takeda Nominated Compound as a Takeda Licensed Compound under this Agreement. Amylin shall have [***] from the date of receipt of such written notice to inform Takeda it desires to add such Takeda Nominated Compound as a Takeda Licensed Compound under this Agreement. If Amylin informs Takeda in writing within such [***] time period that it does desire to add such Takeda Nominated Compound as a Takeda Licensed Compound under this Agreement, then: (a) such Takeda Nominated Compound shall immediately become a Takeda Licensed Compound hereunder; (b) the ODC shall modify the Development Plan to provide for Development of such Takeda Licensed Compound; and (c) the economic terms applicable to a Product containing such Takeda Licensed Compound shall be determined as set forth in Article 8. If Amylin informs Takeda in writing that it does not desire to add such Takeda Nominated Compound as a Takeda Licensed Compound under this Agreement, or otherwise fails to respond to such written notice from Takeda within such [***] time period, then such Takeda Nominated Compound shall not be added as a Takeda Licensed Compound under this

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
Agreement, and Takeda shall be free to develop such Takeda Nominated Compound independently at its own expense; provided, however, if Takeda subsequently develops in the Field any Takeda Nominated Compound that is a Takeda Y-family Agonist and was subject to the procedures set forth in this Section 3.4 but was not added as a Takeda Licensed Compound, such Takeda Y-family Agonist shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.5.2 regarding the right of Amylin to opt-in to the Development of such Takeda Y-family Agonist (as if references to “Licensed Compound or Product” in Section 3.5.2 referred instead to “Takeda Y-family Agonist”).
3.5 Additional Development Activities
3.5.1 Collaborative Activities. Before any Party engages in Development activities that may result in U.S. Development Costs with respect to any Licensed Compound or Product in the Field, and which activities are not included in the then-current Development Plan, such Party shall submit a proposal to the ODC for the Parties to engage jointly in such Development activities with respect to such Licensed Compound or Product. If the ODC elects to proceed, the activities shall be incorporated into a draft Development Plan to be submitted to the OSC for approval.
3.5.2 Independent Activities. If either Party (the “Proposing Party”) presents a proposal to the ODC to engage in Development activities that may result in U.S. Development Costs with respect to any Licensed Compound or Product in the Field, which such activities are not included in the then-current Development Plan (each, a “New Project”), and the OSC ultimately fails to approve the proposal due to the objection of the other Party, then the Proposing Party may conduct the New Project independently at its expense, subject to the following provisions:
(a) If: (i) the New Project is a Phase 3 Clinical Trial for either an Amylin Licensed Compound or Product that contains Davalintide (AC2307), or an Amylin Licensed Compound or Product that contains both Pramlintide (AC137) and Metreleptin (AC164594); (ii) the New Project is not selected for a Phase 3 Clinical Trial pursuant to the Development Plan; and (iii) the other Amylin Licensed Compound or Product referenced in Section 3.5.2(a)(i) is selected for Phase 3 Clinical Trials pursuant to the Development Plan, each Party agrees that Takeda shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to delay the commencement of such New Project (for clarification, the Phase 3 Clinical Trial for the non-selected Amylin Licensed Compound or Product) for a period of up to [***] following the date of the initiation of the first Phase 3 Clinical Trial for such selected Amylin Licensed Compound or Product;
(b) the Proposing Party shall conduct such activities solely at its expense and substantially in accordance with the plans presented to the OSC, and shall, at least annually, provide a report to the OSC of the results of such efforts, and provide to the other Party such additional information as it may reasonably request;
(c) Within [***] after the date of database lock for the first Phase 2 Clinical Trial resulting from development activities regarding the New Project, the Proposing Party shall furnish to the OSC and the other Party a written report of the results of

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
such trial, together with such other information available to the Proposing Party as the other Party may reasonably request. The other Party shall then have a period of [***] in which to advise the Proposing Party whether it desires to include the New Project within the Development Plan contemplated by this Agreement. If the other Party elects to include the New Project within the Development Plan: (i) if such other Party is Takeda, it shall pay to the Proposing Party an amount equal to [***] percent ([***] %) (which represents [***] percent ([***] %) of Takeda’s share of U.S. Development Costs) of the total Development Costs incurred to that date by the Proposing Party on the New Project; (ii) if such other Party is Amylin, it shall pay to the Proposing Party an amount equal to [***] percent ([***] %) (which represents [***] percent ([***] %) of Amylin’s share of U.S. Development Costs) of the total Development Costs incurred to that date by the Proposing Party on the New Project; and (iii) the New Project shall become part of the Development Plan contemplated by this Agreement, with each Party having the same rights and obligations with respect to the New Project as for any Licensed Compound or Product under this Agreement; and
(d) If the other Party has not elected to include the New Project in the Development Plan pursuant to Section 3.5.2(c), then within [***] after the date of the database lock for the first Phase 3 Clinical Trial resulting from activities on the New Project, the Proposing Party shall furnish to the OSC and the other Party a written report of the results of such trial, together with such other information available to the Proposing Party as the other Party may reasonably request. The other Party shall then have a period of [***] ([***]) days in which to advise the Proposing Party whether it desires to include the New Project within the Development Plan contemplated by this Agreement. If the other Party elects to include the New Project within the Development Plan: (i) if such other Party is Takeda, it shall pay to the Proposing Party an amount equal to [***] percent ([***] %) (which represents [***] percent ([***] %) of Takeda’s share of U.S. Development Costs) of the total Development Costs incurred to that date by the Proposing Party on the New Project, plus any milestones that would have otherwise been due under this Agreement; (ii) if such other Party is Amylin, it shall pay to the Proposing Party an amount equal to [***] percent ([***] %) (which represents [***] percent ([***] %) of Amylin’s share of U.S. Development Costs) of the total Development Costs incurred to that date by the Proposing Party on the New Project; (iii) the New Project shall become part of the Development Plan contemplated by this Agreement, with each Party having the same rights and obligations with respect to the New Project as for any Product under this Agreement. If the other Party does not select to include the New Project in the Development Plan, the Proposing Party shall be free to develop and commercialize such Licensed Compound or Product independently or together with a Third Party without being subject to the terms of this Agreement.
3.6 Exchange of Information. Promptly following the Effective Date, and promptly during the Term upon such Amylin Know-How being obtained or generated by Amylin, Amylin shall provide to Takeda, at no additional cost or expense to Takeda, all Amylin Know-How as is necessary to enable Takeda to conduct Development and Commercialization activities assigned to it under the Development Plan and Commercialization Plan or otherwise to practice the licenses granted to it hereunder, to the extent such Amylin Know-How has not previously been provided hereunder.

3.11 Development Costs.
3.11.1 Responsibility for Development Costs. Throughout the Term of this Agreement, Takeda shall bear eighty percent (80%) and Amylin shall bear twenty percent (20%) of all U.S. Development Costs, except in the case of U.S. Development Costs of any Regulatory Approval Clinical Trial that is a cardiovascular safety study that becomes required by the FDA and is not already included in the then-current Development Plan at the time it becomes required by the FDA (a “CV Safety Study”). With respect to any CV Safety Study, Takeda shall bear [***] percent ([***] %) and Amylin shall bear [***] percent ([***] %) of all such U.S. Development Costs; provided, however, if the U.S. Development Costs of such CV Safety Study exceed, or are anticipated to exceed, [***] Dollars (US $[***]): (i) Takeda shall, upon Amylin’s written request, be obligated to pay all U.S. Development Costs that exceed [***] Dollars (US $[***]); and (ii) Amylin shall, within [***] following the database lock or earlier termination of the CV Safety Study (the “Database Lock Date”), reimburse Takeda an amount equal to [***] percent ([***] %) of such U.S. Development Costs that exceeded [***] Dollars (US $[***]), plus simple interest calculated at three-month LIBOR (the “Loan”). Amylin shall be required to pay at least [***] ([***] %) of the Loan upon each of the [***] anniversary of the Database Lock Date and the [***] anniversary of the Database Lock Date; provided, however, Takeda shall have the right to set-off, in any calendar year, against any payments due from Takeda to Amylin under this Agreement by the amount that Amylin is obligated to pay Takeda for reimbursement of the Loan during such calendar year. For the avoidance of doubt, Amylin may reimburse Takeda the full amount of the Loan prior to the due date with no prepayment penalty. Takeda shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of all Development Costs that are not U.S. Development Costs. The ODC shall identify in the Development Plan: (i) U.S. Development Costs; and (ii) Development Costs that are not U.S. Development Costs; provided, however, all Development Costs that are deemed to be necessary for the approval of an NDA filed with the FDA shall be considered U.S. Development Costs.
3.11.2 Calculation of Development Costs. For purposes of calculating Development Costs, the FTE rate shall be [***] Dollars (US$[***]) per annum. The FTE rate shall be valid through and including [***]. The FTE rate shall be adjusted [***] as of [***] effective as of [***] in accordance with the annual percentage change in the [***], except as otherwise agreed by the Parties.

supervisory overhead costs incurred by each Party in connection with the performance of this Agreement shall not be included in the Development Costs (and shall be borne solely by the Party incurring such costs). The Parties shall establish a mutually agreed upon format for reporting FTEs that are included within Development Costs.
3.11.3 Development Costs Exceeding Binding Budget. Each Party agrees to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete the activities contemplated by a Binding Budget and to do so within the amounts budgeted. The Parties acknowledge that actual expenditures may differ from budgeted amounts, and accordingly agree that the aggregate amount actually spent by a Party may be up to [***] percent ([***] %) higher than the amount specified in the Binding Budget. In the event a Party’s Development Costs in the aggregate exceed the amount budgeted in any Binding Budget by more than [***] percent ([***] %), the ODC shall determine if such excess amount is reasonable under the circumstances. If the ODC determines such excess amounts are reasonable, such amounts shall be deemed Development Costs; otherwise, the excess shall be the responsibility of that Party.
3.11.4 Payment. Within [***] after the end of each calendar quarter, each Party will provide a written report to the other Party setting forth in reasonable detail the recorded Development Costs relating to such quarter (each, a “Quarterly Report”). Within [***] after the end of such calendar quarter, the Party responsible for reimbursement of Development Costs to the other Party will provide to the other Party a written report based upon such Quarterly Reports (each, a “Payment Report”) reconciling the Development Costs of each Party and setting forth the amount payable in accordance with this Section 3.11. The amount due, as set forth in the applicable Payment Report, shall be paid concurrently with providing such Payment Report.
3.11.5 Corrections. In the event either Amylin or Takeda discover a need for correction in calculating the amount of Development Costs incurred by such Party during any previous calendar quarter, it will promptly notify the other Party of such discovery. The Parties will then discuss the validity and appropriateness of the correction. If the Parties agree that such correction should be made and collectively verify the amount to be corrected, then such amounts shall be included in the following quarterly reconciliation between the Parties as set forth in Section 3.11.4 hereof; provided, however, that only corrections for expenses that have occurred in the previous [***] prior to the date of the notice described in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be eligible for correction.

The Auditor will prepare a report of the results of the audit and promptly deliver a copy to each Party. The Parties may make inquiries of the Auditor to clarify the contents of the report and the Auditor’s response will be made to both Parties. As appropriate, prompt adjustments to payments made pursuant to Section 3.11.4 shall be made by the Parties to reflect the results of such audit. The Party to whom payment is owed will issue an invoice to the other Party. Such invoice will be paid within [***] of receipt. The auditing Party shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an over-reporting by the audited Party of more than [***] percent ([***] %) of the amount of Development Costs for a given calendar quarter, in which case, the audited Party shall bear the full cost of such audit.

Takeda may request that Amylin perform Commercialization activities. If Amylin agrees to perform such Commercialization activities, Takeda shall reimburse Amylin at the then-current FTE rate (as defined in Section 3.11.2, or at another FTE rate mutually agreed upon by the Parties) for Amylin’s internal personnel costs relating to the performance of such activities (excluding activities necessary to support its Detailing requirements under Section 5.3, if any), plus any costs paid by Amylin to a Third Party in conducting such activities. Takeda shall keep Amylin regularly informed regarding the Commercialization Plan for each Product and all material activities with respect to Products in the Field in the Territory.

milestone payments under this Section 8.2.1 that were not previously made with respect to such Dropped Product shall be payable with respect to the replacement Product. In the event: (a) a Product is Developed in an Alternative Delivery System; or (b) a BID Product, QD Product or a QW Product is Developed that does not utilize a single-injection delivery system or an Alternative Delivery System, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith any development, commercial, and sales-based milestone payments and royalty rates for such Product taking into consideration, among other things, the commercial valuation and product profile of the Product; provided, however, if such Product has a similar product profile and commercial valuation as a BID Product, QD Product or QW Product, then the development, commercial, and sales-based milestone payments and royalty rates for such Product shall be similar to those for either a BID Product, QD Product or QW Product. For purposes of clarification, subsection (b) of the preceding sentence is intended to apply to Products with a presentation that requires multiple injections for each dose administration.
8.2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.2.1, the following milestone payments shall apply to Products that contain a Takeda Y-family Agonist, which milestone payments shall be paid by Takeda in accordance with Section 8.2.1:
(a) With respect to a Product that is a Takeda Y-family Agonist Developed or Commercialized as a single agent, Takeda shall not be obligated to make Development, Commercial or sales-based milestone payments to Amylin.
(b) With respect to a Product that contains a Takeda Y-family Agonist, and a Licensed Compound for which Development and/or Commercial milestone payments have been made to Amylin pursuant to Section 8.2.1 (with respect to such Licensed Compound only), Takeda shall pay in accordance with Section 8.2.1: (i) [***] ([***] %) of new indication milestones not already paid for by Takeda in connection with such Licensed Compound; and (ii) [***] percent ([***] %) of Commercial and sales-based milestones.
(c) With respect to a Product that contains a Takeda Y-family Agonist, in combination with OPT or an Analog of another Licensed Compound for which Development and/or Commercial milestone payments have not been made to Amylin pursuant to Section 8.2.1, Takeda shall pay in accordance with Section 8.2.1: (i) [***] percent ([***] %) of all Development, Commercial and sales-based milestones.
(d) With respect to a Product that contains a Takeda Y-family Agonist, and a Licensed Compound for which Development and/or Commercial milestone payments have not been made to Amylin pursuant to Section 8.2.1, Takeda shall pay in accordance with Section 8.2.1: (i) [***] percent ([***] %) of Development, Commercial and sales-based milestones.
8.2.3. Each Party agrees that it will not consider the milestone payment obligations set forth in Section 8.2.2 for purposes of making Development decisions when considering and comparing both: (i) a Product referenced in Section 8.2.2 (containing a Takeda Y-family Agonist); and (ii) any other Product that does not contain a Takeda Y-family Agonist.

In addition, Takeda will not, nor, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, shall it allow its Affiliates or sublicencees to, take into consideration any royalty payments it is obligated to pay Amylin when determining the amount of any discounts to be provided on Products.
9. PAYMENT; RECORDS; AUDITS
9.1 Payment; Reports. Royalties shall be calculated and reported for each calendar quarter.

9.3.2 Payment of Tax. All payments made by Takeda to Amylin pursuant to this Agreement shall be made without reduction for any taxes, charges or remittance fees, provided that Amylin shall be responsible for any income taxes payable by Amylin on payments made to it under this Agreement. If Applicable Laws require that taxes be deducted and withheld from a payment due from Takeda to Amylin under this Agreement, Takeda shall (a) deduct those taxes from the payment; (b) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority; and (c) send evidence of the obligation together with proof of payment to Amylin promptly following that payment.

Amylin shall have the right to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Takeda to audit such records to confirm Net Sales, royalty, milestone and other payments for a period covering not more than the preceding [***]; provided that any such accountant shall have previously entered into a confidentiality agreement in terms reasonably satisfactory to Takeda limiting its disclosure of such information to authorized representatives of the Parties or as required under Applicable Laws. Any such inspection shall be for the sole purpose of verifying the calculation of payments on Net Sales of the Products by Takeda, its Affiliates or sublicensees and milestone and other payments to Amylin under this Agreement, and to determine the reasonableness of any discounts applied to Products. The accountant shall disclose to Amylin the findings of the audit and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be provided to Amylin. Such audit rights may be exercised during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Takeda; provided that such audit right may be exercised no more than once in any [***] period and no more than once with regard to any given [***]. Prompt adjustments shall be made by the Parties to reflect the results of such audit.

9.5 Late Payments. In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not made when due, the payment shall accrue interest from the date due until such payment is made in full at an interest rate equal to the [***]; provided, however, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum interest rate permitted under Applicable Laws. The payment of such interest shall not limit a Party from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICATION
10.1 Confidential Information. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the Parties agree that, during the Term and for [***] ([***]) years thereafter, the receiving Party shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement any Information furnished to it by the other Party or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or owned by such other Party or any of its Affiliates as provided herein (collectively, “Confidential Information”). For clarification, Amylin Technology is Confidential Information of Amylin, Takeda Technology is Confidential Information of Takeda and Joint Inventions and Joint Patents shall be deemed Confidential Information of both Parties. Each Party may use such Confidential Information only as permitted by this Agreement. Each Party will use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own (but no less than reasonable care) to ensure that its employees, agents, consultants and other representatives do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information. Each Party will promptly notify the other upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.
10.2 Treatment of Manufacturing Information. In addition to the other provisions herein, Takeda recognizes that maintaining the confidentiality and trade secret nature of the Manufacturing Information requires a higher level of vigilance than other Confidential Information, and agrees to: (i) maintain in confidence Manufacturing Information with the same degree of care that Takeda uses to protect its own like information (but no less than reasonable care); (ii) strictly limit access to and use of Manufacturing Information to employees, representatives, consultants and contractors of Takeda and its Affiliates with a need to know such information; and (iii) use Manufacturing Information only for producing Products in the Field. Takeda shall ensure that any Person having access to the Manufacturing Information will be made aware of its highly confidential nature and will agree to be bound by confidentiality terms no less stringent than those in this Agreement. The obligations under this Section 10.2 shall survive and continue in effect for a period of [***] following any expiration or termination of this Agreement, except any obligations under this Section 10.2 that relate to Manufacturing Information received by Amylin or Takeda under the [***] shall survive and continue in effect for a period of [***] after expiration or termination of this Agreement. Each of Amylin and Takeda acknowledge and agree that Sections 10.3 and 10.4 shall apply to each Party’s Manufacturing Information, and that: (a) Confidential Information disclosed to any contract manufacturer used by either Party pursuant to this

Agreement; and (b) any Confidential Information of the other Party received from such contract manufacturer, shall not cause such Confidential Information to fall within any exceptions to the definition of Confidential Information set forth in Section 10.3 or otherwise cease to be Confidential Information of the applicable Party for any reason.
10.3 Exceptions. Confidential Information shall not include any information which the receiving Party can prove by written evidence: (i) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the receiving Party, or any of its Affiliates, generally known or available; (ii) is known by the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates at the time of receiving such information, as evidenced by records of the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates; (ii) is hereafter furnished to the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates by a Third Party, as a matter of right and without restriction on disclosure; (iv) is independently discovered or developed by or on behalf of the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates without the use of Confidential Information belonging to the disclosing Party; or (v) is the subject of a written permission to disclose provided by the disclosing Party.
10.4 Authorized Disclosure. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the other Party as expressly permitted by this Agreement or if and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:
10.4.1 filing or prosecuting Patents as permitted by this Agreement with the written permission of such other Party;
10.4.2 regulatory filings for Products such Party has a license or right to develop hereunder;
10.4.3 prosecuting or defending litigation as permitted by this Agreement;
10.4.4 complying with applicable court orders or governmental regulations;
10.4.5 disclosure to Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees or potential sublicensees, employees, consultants, subcontractors or potential subcontractors or agents of the receiving Party who have a need to know such information in order for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, in each case, any such Affiliate, licensee, sublicensee or potential sublicensee, employee, consultant, subcontractor or potential subcontractor or agent agrees to be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use no less restrictive than those set forth in this Article 10;
10.4.6 disclosure by Amylin to the other Parties to the In-License Agreements (and any licensor of intellectual property rights thereunder) in order for Amylin to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under the In-License Agreements, provided, in each case, that any such other Parties (and their licensors) are bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use comparable in scope to those set forth in this Article 10; and
10.4.7 disclosure to Third Parties in connection with due diligence or similar investigations by such Third Parties, and disclosure to potential Third Party investors in confidential financing documents, provided, in each case, that any such Third Party agrees to be

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
bound by similar terms of confidentiality and non-use comparable in scope to those set forth in this Article 10.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Sections 10.4.3 and 10.4.4, it will, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information at least as diligent as such Party would use to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts. In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder.
10.5 Publication. Each Party to this Agreement recognizes that the publication of papers regarding results of and other information regarding the activities under this Agreement, including oral presentations and abstracts, may be beneficial to both Parties provided such publications are subject to reasonable controls to protect Confidential Information. Accordingly, the ODC shall develop procedures for review and approval of publications with respect to data generated from the Development of Products in the Field and/or including Confidential Information, and neither Party shall permit any publication in violation of such procedures.
10.6 Publicity. Amylin and/or Takeda may, by mutual written agreement, issue a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement, which shall be substantially in a form approved by the Parties prior to execution of this Agreement. Except with respect to such initial release or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws (including disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party are traded), neither Party shall issue an additional press release or public announcement relating to this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The Parties will consult with each other on the provisions of this Agreement to be redacted in any filings made by the Parties with the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws.

In the event that it is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction that the research, Development, manufacture, distribution, use, sale, import, export or other Commercialization of a Licensed Compound or Product, conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, infringes, or the OSC determines that such activities are likely to infringe, any patent, copyright, trademark, data exclusivity right or trade secret right arising under Applicable Laws of any Third Party, the Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to: (i) procure a license from such Third Party authorizing Amylin and Takeda to continue to conduct such activities; or (ii) modify such activities with Takeda’s prior written consent, so as to render it non-infringing. If a license is obtained from such Third Party the cost of such license shall be allocated between the Parties in accordance with Section 8.5, provided the Parties have agreed to undertake such a cost. In the event that the OSC decides that neither of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available or commercially feasible, the Parties may mutually agree to terminate this Agreement for the Licensed Compound or Product affected in accordance with Section 13.2.5.
12.6 Patent Term Restoration. At the request of the Party owning any Patents subject to this Agreement, the Parties hereto will cooperate with each other in obtaining patent term restoration, extensions and/or any other extensions of such Patents as available under Applicable Laws.

12.8 Certification. Takeda and Amylin each will immediately give notice to the other of any certification of which they become aware filed under the U.S. Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, as amended, arising from the filing of an application for the regulatory approval of a Generic Product claiming that Patents covering any Product are invalid or that infringement will not arise from the manufacture, use or sale of any Product in the Field in the Territory by a Third Party. Any action based on such a certification shall be brought and controlled as provided in Section 12.4.
12.9 Product Trademarks. Takeda shall have sole control over all matters relating to the use of, and shall own, all trademarks used in the sale of Products in the Field in the Territory, including the selection, filing and enforcement thereof, but excluding Symlin® and other trademarks which are proprietary to Amylin.

13.2.1 Termination for Cause.
(a) Bankruptcy. A Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to the other Party upon or after the time that such other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files an insolvency petition in bankruptcy, petitions for or acquiesces in the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar officer to liquidate or conserve its business or any substantial part of its assets, commences under the laws of any jurisdiction any proceeding involving its insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, adjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any other similar proceeding for the release of financially distressed debtors or becomes a party to any proceeding or action of the type described above and such proceeding or action remains un-dismissed or un-stayed for a period of more than [***].

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
written notice to the other Party upon or after the breach of any material provision of this Agreement by such other Party (except for any payment breach or any breach of Commercially Reasonable Efforts, for which the right to terminate shall be exclusively governed by Section 13.2.1(b) and 13.2.1(d), respectively) if the breaching Party has not cured such breach within the [***] period following receipt by the breaching Party of written notice of termination from the notifying Party.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties recognize that certain material breaches, other than a breach of Commercially Reasonable Efforts for which the right to terminate shall be exclusively governed by Section 13.2.1(d), may be of such a significant nature as to warrant termination of this Agreement in its entirety including, by way of example, certain material breaches relating to: (i) the use of Confidential Information; (ii) intellectual property rights; (iii) violations of Applicable Laws; or (iv) fraudulent activities related to the exercise of rights or performance of obligations under the Agreement.
(d) Breach of Commercially Reasonable Efforts. In the event that a Party provides written notice of termination for the breach by the other Party of any obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts with regard to Development, manufacturing or Commercialization of Products in the Field in the Territory, such matter shall be submitted to the OSC for resolution pursuant to Section 2.1.4. If the OSC is not able to resolve such matter by unanimous vote, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 15; provided, however, if it is determined that a Party is in breach of Commercially Reasonable Efforts pursuant to Section 15.2 or 15.3, the notifying Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Licensed Compound and/or Product, and the affected country, upon providing written notice to the other Party if the breaching Party has not cured such breach within [***] following resolution of the dispute pursuant to Article 15. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such a breach is not reasonably capable of being cured within the [***] cure period by the breaching Party, and such breaching Party is making a good faith effort to cure such breach, the notifying Party may not terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that the notifying Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Licensed Compound and/or Product, and the affected country, pursuant to this Section 13.2.1(d), if such breach is not cured within [***] following resolution of the dispute pursuant to Article 15. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 13.2.1(d) shall permit at any time a non-breaching Party to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or to terminate this Agreement with respect to a non-affected Licensed Compound and/or Product, or a non-affected country.
The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 13.2.1 shall not be affected in any way by its waiver of, or failure to take action with respect to, any previous breach.

13.2.2 Termination for Patent Challenge. Either Party may terminate this Agreement by written notice effective upon receipt if the other Party, or any of the other Party’s Affiliates or sublicensees, directly or indirectly through assistance granted to a Third Party, commences any interference or opposition proceeding, challenges the validity or enforceability of, or opposes any extension of or the grant of a supplementary protection certificate with respect to, in the case of Takeda or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees, any Amylin Patent, and in the case of Amylin or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees, any Takeda Patent (each such action, a “Patent Challenge”). Takeda will include provisions in all agreements granting sublicenses of Amylin Patents providing that, if the sublicensee undertakes a Patent Challenge with respect to any Amylin Patent under which the sublicensee is sublicensed, Takeda will terminate such sublicense agreement.
13.2.3 Termination for Safety Reasons.
(a) Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to any Licensed Compound or Product in the Territory, without liability for any compensation or other payment obligation to the other Party due to such termination except as expressly specified in this Agreement, by providing the other Party with at least [***] prior written notice of termination, if, at any time, the OSC determines that such Licensed Compound or Product, caused or is likely to cause a fatal, life-threatening or other serious adverse safety event that is reasonably expected, based upon then available data, to preclude obtaining Regulatory Approval for such Licensed Compound or Product, or, if Regulatory Approval of such Product has already been obtained, to preclude continued marketing of such Product; provided, further, if the OSC does not agree on the issue, either Party may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Licensed Compound or Product if: (i) each Party’s Chief Executive Officer (or such delegate of either Chief Executive Officer who shall have appropriate decision making authority regarding such dispute) meets in person or by telephone, within [***] after receiving written notice of the other Party’s intent to terminate hereunder, to resolve the dispute in good faith; and (ii) they are unable to resolve the dispute.

13.3.2 Winding Down of Activities. In the event there are any on-going research, Development or Commercialization activities, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and adopt a plan to wind-down such activities in an orderly fashion or, at the continuing Party’s election, promptly transition such activities from the terminating Party to the continuing Party or its designee, with due regard for patient safety and the rights of any subjects that are participants in any Clinical Trials of Licensed Compounds or Products, and take any actions it deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to avoid any human health or safety problems and in compliance with all Applicable Laws.

Agreement to be performed by such Party.

14.3 Indemnification Procedures.
14.3.1 Notice. Promptly after an Amylin Indemnitee or a Takeda Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) receives notice of a pending or threatened Claim, such Indemnitee shall give written notice of the Claim to the Party from whom the Indemnitee is entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to Sections 14.1 or 14.2, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”). However, an Indemnitee’s delay in providing or failure to provide such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent it can demonstrate prejudice due to the delay or lack of notice.
14.3.2 Defense. Upon receipt of notice under Section 14.3.1 from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty to either compromise or defend, at its own expense and by counsel (reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee), such Claim. The Indemnifying Party will promptly (and in any event not more than twenty (20) days after receipt of the Indemnitee’s original notice) notify the Indemnitee in writing that it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim pursuant to this Article 14 and of its intention either to compromise or defend such Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee’s reasonable costs of investigation and cooperation. However, the Indemnitee will have the right to employ separate counsel and to control the defense of a Claim at its own expense.

The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnitee informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of such Claim (to the extent the Indemnitee is not participating in the defense of such Claim) and conduct the defense of such Claim in a prudent manner.
14.3.4 Settlement. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee’s written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless: (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee; (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (iii) the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are not adversely affected. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of a Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnitee may settle such Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnifying Party will be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for such settlement as provided in this Article 14.
14.4 Insurance. Each Party shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain during the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, insurance policy/policies, including product liability insurance, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated. Such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of a Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 14. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance or self-insurance upon request. Each Party shall provide the other Party with prompt written notice of cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance self-insurance, which could materially adversely affect the rights of such other Party hereunder, and shall provide such notice within thirty (30) days after any such cancellation, non-renewal or material change.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
15.1 Objective. The Parties recognize that disputes as to matters arising under or relating to this Agreement or either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder may arise from time to time. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of such disputes in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article 15 to resolve any such dispute if and when it arises. For the avoidance of doubt, both Parties acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following shall not be subject to the dispute resolution provisions contained in Sections 15.2 and 15.3: (i) final decisions made by [***] pursuant to its rights under [***]; (ii) failure of the OSC to unanimously decide (a) [***], or (b) whether to [***]; and (iii) termination by either Party for safety reasons under Section 13.2.3(a). For clarification, the determination by either Party that a safety issue exists that would permit termination of this

***Text Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Confidential Treatment Requested Under
17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
Agreement under Section 13.2.3(a) shall not be subject to the dispute resolution provisions contained in Sections 15.2 and 15.3; provided, however, that, if a Party believes in good faith that the election by the other Party to terminate this Agreement under Section 13.2.3(a) was a breach of this Agreement because the electing Party had not in fact determined that a safety issue permitting such termination existed, then such dispute shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions contained in Sections 15.2 and 15.3.
15.2 Resolution by Senior Executives. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement including Section 15.1, if an unresolved dispute as to matters arising under or relating to this Agreement or either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder arises, either Party may refer such dispute to the Chief Executive Officers of each of Takeda and Amylin (or such delegate of either Chief Executive Officer who shall have appropriate decision making authority regarding such dispute), who shall meet in person or by telephone within [***] after such referral to attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. If such matter cannot be resolved by discussion of Chief Executive Officers, or their respective delegates, within such [***] period (as may be extended by mutual written agreement), such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 15.3.
15.3 Arbitration. Any dispute that is not resolved as provided in Section 15.2 may be referred to arbitration by either Party. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Rules”) as then in effect. The arbitration shall be held solely in New York, New York, U.S.A, and shall be conducted in English before an arbitration panel comprised of three (3) arbitrators, who shall be selected as follows: (i) each Party shall select one (1) arbitrator within twenty (20) days after the date on which one of the Parties makes a written demand for arbitration in accordance with the ICC Rules; and (ii) the third arbitrator, who shall act as chairman of the arbitration panel, shall be selected by the other two (2) arbitrators within twenty (20) days after the selection of the other two (2) arbitrators; provided, however, in the event that a Party fails to select an arbitrator, or the two (2) arbitrators selected by the Parties fail to select the third arbitrator in accordance with this Section 15.3, such arbitrator(s) shall be selected by the Chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce upon the written request of either Party. The decision and award of the arbitrators in any arbitration proceeding between the Parties under this Section 15.3 shall be: (a) in writing, stating the reasons for such decision; (b) based solely on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A.; (c) final and binding upon the Parties hereto; and (d) enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the Parties.
15.4 Court Actions. The dispute resolution process described in Section 15.3 shall be employed in lieu of litigation in a court of law, except in the following circumstances: (i) either Party shall be permitted to seek a preliminary injunction or other equitable remedy in the courts to preserve rights, which may otherwise be lost or encumbered in the absence of injunctive relief, or to preserve the status quo including, but not limited to, preserving the confidentiality of Confidential Information; and (ii) any dispute, controversy or claim relating to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patents or any trademark relating to any Licensed Compound or Product that is the subject of this Agreement shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in which such Patent or trademark rights were granted or arose.

16. MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 Standstill Agreement. Until the date that is three (3) years after the Effective Date (the “Standstill Period”), none of Takeda, Takeda’s Affiliates, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives (provided such person is acting on behalf of Takeda) will, in any manner, directly or indirectly, without the prior express written consent of Amylin (provided that the foregoing shall not limit Takeda’s obligations under this Section 16.1):
(a) acquire, offer to acquire or agree to acquire, alone or in concert with any other Person, by purchase, tender offer, exchange offer, agreement or business combination or any other manner: (i) beneficial ownership of any securities of Amylin or any securities of any Affiliate of Amylin, if, after completion of such acquisition or proposed acquisition, Takeda would beneficially own more than nine and 99/100 percent (9.99%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of Amylin (the “Common Stock”); (ii) any assets of Amylin or any assets of any Affiliate of Amylin, other than non-material acquisitions in the ordinary course of business;
(b) initiate, participate in or enter into any merger, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or similar extraordinary transaction involving Amylin or any Affiliate of Amylin, or involving any securities or assets of Amylin or any securities or assets of any Affiliate of Amylin;

(g) agree, offer to take, propose, assist, induce or encourage any other Person to take, publicly or otherwise, any action of the type referred to in clause “(a)”, “(b)”, “(c)”, “(d)”, “(e)” or “(f)” of this sentence;

(i) request or propose that Amylin or any of Amylin’s representatives amend, waive or consider the amendment or waiver of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 16.1.
Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in the foregoing clauses “(a)” through “(i)”: (1) Takeda shall not be prohibited from entering into an agreement and having discussions
***Text Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Confidential Treatment Requested Under
17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
with legal, accounting, or financial advisors for the limited purposes of evaluating any of the transactions contemplated in clause “(a)”, “(b)”, “(c)”, “(d)”, “(e)” or “(f)” of this sentence; and (2) so long as Takeda has not violated the provisions of clauses “(a)” through “(i)” inclusive, Takeda may inform Amylin or Amylin’s Representatives privately that Takeda alone, and not in concert with others, would be interested in engaging in discussions with Amylin that could result in a negotiated transaction described in clause “(a)” or “(b)” so long as, (x) Takeda does not propose any such transaction unless Amylin requests Takeda to make such a proposal, (y) Takeda does not seek any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Section 16.1, and (z) Takeda does not take any action that would reasonably be expected to require Amylin to make any public announcement.
Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in the foregoing “(a)” through “(i)”, the provisions of this Section 16.1 shall not apply to:
(i) the exercise by Takeda of any of its rights under this Agreement;
(ii) the exercise by Takeda as an Amylin stockholder, if applicable, of any voting rights available to Amylin stockholders generally pursuant to any transaction described in subparagraph “(a)(ii)” or “(b)” above, provided that Takeda has not then either directly, indirectly, or as a member of a Group made, effected, initiated or caused such transaction to occur;
(iii) any activity by Takeda after Amylin, or any Third Party unrelated to Takeda, has made any public announcement of its intent to solicit or engage in any transaction which would result in a Change in Control of Amylin, or after any such Change in Control of Amylin shall have occurred; or
(iv) any investment by Takeda or an Affiliate of Takeda in third-party mutual funds or other similar passive investment vehicles that hold interests in securities of Amylin or any of its Affiliates (and any such interests in securities shall not be taken into account for the purpose of subparagraph (a) including the nine and 99/100 percent (9.99%) exception contained therein), provided that the provisions of this clause (iv) shall apply with respect to any such fund or vehicle only for so long as such fund or vehicle satisfies the requirements of paragraphs (i) and (ii) of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to any Amylin securities held by such fund or vehicle.
Except as provided for below, the restrictions of this Section 16.1 shall no longer be applicable in the event of any of the following:
(A) the acquisition by any Third Party of beneficial ownership of more than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding Common Stock;
(B) the announcement or commencement by any Person or Group of a tender offer or exchange offer to acquire securities of Amylin which, if successful, would result in such Person or Group owning, when combined with any other securities owned by such Person or Group, fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding Common Stock;
***Text Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Confidential Treatment Requested Under
17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
(C) Amylin enters into a definitive written merger, sale or other business combination agreement pursuant to which fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock of Amylin would be converted into cash or securities of another Person or Group or, immediately after the consummation of such transaction, fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding Common Stock would be owned by Persons other than the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or which would result in all or substantially all of Amylin’s assets being sold to any Person or Group;
(D) Amylin or any of its Affiliates becomes the subject of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding (except for any involuntary proceeding that is dismissed within 60 days); or
(E) Amylin engages in the solicitation of one (1) or more Third Party bids for any transaction which would result in a Change of Control of Amylin.
The provisions of this Section 16.1 shall again be applicable if: (1) Amylin or such Third Party, Person or Group, as applicable, terminates or announces its intent not to proceed with any transaction referred to in clauses (iii), (B), (C) or (E) above, as applicable, or, in the case of clause (D) above, Amylin and its Affiliates shall cease to be the subject of any such bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, as applicable; and (2) either (x) Takeda has not previously made any public announcement of its intent to solicit or engage in any transaction of the type referred to in clauses (iii), (B), (C) or (E) above, or (y) in the event such a public announcement has been made by Takeda, Takeda has terminated or announced its intent to terminate such transaction.
If, during the Standstill Period, Amylin enters into any development and commercialization agreement with a Third Party that is similar in size and scope to this Agreement (the “Third Party Agreement”), which does not contain provisions restricting the activities of such Third Party that, taken as a whole (the “Third Party Standstill Provisions”), are at least as onerous to the Third Party as the provisions of this Section 16.1, then, upon the effective date of the Third Party Agreement, the provisions of this Section 16.1 shall automatically be deemed modified without further action so as to conform to the Third Party Standstill Provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that if the Third Party Agreement contains no standstill provision, this Section 16.1 shall terminate in its entirety upon the effective date of the Third Party Agreement.
The expiration of the Standstill Period will not terminate or otherwise affect any of the provisions of this Agreement other than this Section 16.1.
16.2 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from an event of force majeure; provided, however, with respect to a failure to make payment due to an event of force majeure, the non-performing Party shall be required to make such payment as quickly as possible, but in any event, even if the force majeure continues, within two (2) months from the date that the force majeure began; provided, further, that in the event that an event of force majeure prevents either Party from making any payment to the other Party in a timely
***Text Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Confidential Treatment Requested Under
17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
manner, as provided in Article 9 hereof, interest on such unpaid amount shall nonetheless accrue in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5. For purposes of this Section 16.2, an event of force majeure shall mean and include any causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party including, but not limited to, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, fire, floods, or other acts of God, or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority (including, but not limited to, the refusal of the competent government agencies to issue required Regulatory Approvals due to reasons other than the affected Party’s negligence or willful misconduct or any other cause within the reasonable control of the affected Party). The affected Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure event as soon as reasonably practical, and shall promptly undertake all Commercially Reasonable Efforts necessary to cure such force majeure event. Such excuse from liability shall be effective only to the extent and duration of the force majeure event(s) causing the failure or delay in performance and provided that the Party has not caused such event(s) to occur.
16.3 Assignment. Except as expressly provided hereunder, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that it shall not be unreasonable for a Party to refuse to authorize any assignment (other than to an Affiliate, as provided in Section 16.3(b) below) proposed by the other Party in the event that: (i) such Party reasonably determines that the proposed assignee does not have the financial, technical and/or marketing resources to perform the other Party’s obligations hereunder; (ii) the proposed assignee is engaged in any litigation, arbitration or an other legal proceeding of a material nature as an adverse party to such Party; or (iii) the proposed assignee has infringed any of the intellectual property rights hereunder, misappropriated or misused any of Confidential Information, or engaged in any other unfair or unethical business practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Amylin may assign its right to receive payments under this Agreement without Takeda’s prior written consent and either Party may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder without the other Party’s consent:
(a) in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the business of such Party to a Third Party, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise, provided that in the event of a transaction (whether this Agreement is actually assigned or is assumed by the acquiring Third Party by operation of law (e.g., in the context of a reverse triangular merger)), intellectual property rights of the acquiring Third Party in such transaction (if other than one of the Parties to this Agreement) shall not be included in the intellectual property rights licensed under this Agreement; or
(b) to an Affiliate, provided that the assigning Party shall remain liable and responsible to the non-assigning Party hereto for the performance and observance of all such duties and obligations by such Affiliate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon a Change of Control of either Party, the other Party will have final decision making authority for all decisions made by the OSC and ODC with respect to Development and Commercialization matters. A “Change of Control” of a Party shall occur if: (i) any Third Party acquires directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of any voting security of such Party, or if the percentage ownership of
***Text Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Confidential Treatment Requested Under
17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
such person or entity in the voting securities of such Party is increased through stock redemption, cancellation or other recapitalization, and immediately after such acquisition or increase such Third Party is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of voting securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of all of the then-outstanding voting securities of such Party; (ii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, or reorganization of such Party, other than any such transaction, which would result in stockholders or equity holders of such Party, or an Affiliate of such Party, immediately prior to such transaction owning at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding securities of the surviving entity (or its parent entity) immediately following such transaction; or (iii) the stockholders or equity holders of such Party approve a plan of complete liquidation of such Party, or an agreement for the sale or disposition by such Party of all or a substantial portion of such Party’s assets, other than pursuant to the transaction as described above or to an Affiliate.
This Agreement shall be binding upon successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Any assignment not in accordance with this Section 16.3 will be null and void.
16.4 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AS PROVIDED IN ARTICLE 12, AND EACH PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE OTHER PARTY’S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AS PROVIDED IN ARTICLE 10, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM THE OTHER PARTY ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LICENSE GRANTED HEREUNDER INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN PLACED ON NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SECTION 16.4 SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 14, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL PAYMENTS DUE AND OWING UNDER ARTICLE 8 BE CONSIDERED SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
16.5 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless the absence of the invalidated provision(s) adversely affects the substantive rights of the Parties. The Parties shall in such an instance negotiate in good faith and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and enforceable provision(s) which, insofar as practical, implement the purposes of this Agreement.
16.6 Notices. All notices which are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally, sent by facsimile (and promptly confirmed by personal delivery, registered or certified mail or overnight courier), sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:
