2.1 Net Sales in Access Countries. “Net Sales” shall [*] provided, however, that annual net sales and unit sales volume of each of Branded Products and Generic Versions (including, but not limited to, Generic Version containing a combination of APIs that are different from any Product under development or being marketed by Gilead, as set forth in Section 3.3 of this Amendment) in the Access Countries shall be reported by Gilead to JT in writing on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, to the extent such information is available to Gilead.
2.2 Amendment of Net Sales Definition. Section 1.65 (“Net Sales”) of the EVG Agreement hereby is amended by deleting the following words and replacing them by the following words:
Deleted Words: “Distribution to Global Access Programs. To the extent Gilead or its Affiliates distribute Product through government agencies, not-for-profit non-governmental organizations, physicians, pharmacies or patients in the countries listed in Schedule 1.65 at reduced rates (the “Gilead Global Access Program”), Net Sales for the purposes of determining royalties payable under this Agreement on Products distributed to a Gilead Global Access Program will be calculated by reducing the gross amount invoiced to the Global Access Program for such Product by Gilead’s Manufacturing Costs, including, to the extent not included as Manufacturing Costs, reasonable overhead and depreciated facilities expenses and administrative costs in direct support of the manufacturing of the Product and of Gilead’s Global Access Program in accordance with practices and procedures consistent with those of other relevant products in the Gilead Global Access Program, for the Product less all credits or allowances granted on account of rejections, returns, billing errors or retroactive price reductions, and duties, taxes and other governmental charges, provided that the total resulting amount shall not be reduced below zero after deduction of applicable credits and allowances.”
Replacement Words: “Adjustment for Combination Products.”
Schedule 1.65 attached to the EVG Agreement is hereby deleted.
2.3 Royalty Due to JT for Sales of Generic Versions. Gilead shall pay JT a royalty of [*] of Generic Net Sales only in Access Group B Countries of the Generic Territory. The provisions of Sections 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8 and 8.9 of the EVG Agreement shall apply to such royalty payments, except that Gilead’s payment shall be due thirty (30) days after receipt of the royalty report from the Generic Licensee reporting such Generic Net Sales.
2.4 [*] shall be reported in the quarterly royalty reports to JT under Section 8.4 of the EVG Agreement.
2.5 Access Countries. Section 5.5 (“Global Access Program”) of the EVG Agreement hereby is amended to read as follows:
“5.5 Access Countries. In its program to provide Products in the Access Countries (either by itself or through Generic Licensees) Gilead shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to seek to prevent adverse effects on Net Sales of Products in countries that are not in the Access Countries, which efforts are consistent with those Gilead uses with its other HIV products. Gilead will discuss in good faith with JT any such preventative efforts and
4
[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
Exectuion Copy
shall keep JT reasonably informed of actions taken in furtherance of such efforts to prevent adverse effects on Net Sales of Product in countries that are not Access Countries. In any Gilead press release announcing an expansion of the Gilead global access program with respect to the Product, Gilead shall comply with Section 13.3 of the EVG Agreement and also shall include a statement to the effect that JT has agreed to reduce or waive its right to a royalty on sales of the Product in the Access Countries.”
2.6 No Application of Certain Provisions to Access Countries. [*].
2.7 JT Patent Expenses. JT Patent Expenses will be billed to Gilead quarterly and shall be paid by Gilead to JT within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice, such invoice and payments to be in United States Dollars (converted from other currencies pursuant to JT’s central currency conversion system). The IP Subcommittee shall determine a reasonable strategy, including the [*] that would cause JT to incur JT Patent Expenses. If the IP Subcommittee agrees on the strategy for such proceeding or action, then Gilead will reimburse JT for such JT Patent Expenses. If the IP Subcommittee does not agree on a strategy for such proceeding or action at any time, then (a) JT will be entitled to pursue its own strategy for such proceeding or action, keeping Gilead reasonably informed, and (b) Gilead [*] for such proceeding or action. Any such failure by the IP Subcommittee to agree shall not be subject to further review under Section 9.2(c) or Article 15 of the EVG Agreement. For clarity, [*] even if Gilead does not agree on the strategy therefor.
2.8 Changes to Schedules 1.65 A, 1.65 B or 1.65 C. Gilead may remove a country from any of Schedules 1.65 A, 1.65 B or 1.65 C (the “ABC Schedules”) upon prior written notice to JT. If any country on an ABC Schedule (e.g., Sudan) is divided into two or more countries, then such countries automatically shall take the place, on such ABC Schedule, of the country which was divided. If Gilead wishes to add a country to an ABC Schedule and this Amendment does not permit Gilead to do so upon prior written notice to JT, then Gilead shall request the addition of such country to JT along with a justification for such addition, and such addition shall be subject to JT’s written consent. If the criteria (except routine adjustments to the threshold income levels) of categorization of a country’s economic situation by The World Bank or United Nations Conference On Trade and Development is changed, upon JT’s request, Gilead and JT shall discuss in good faith to modify the criteria to amend Schedules 1.65 A, 1.65 B or 1.65 C set out in Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4.
ARTICLE 3

For clarity, any Generic License granted by Gilead to sell

[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
Exectuion Copy
EVG API to TGPO shall be subject to the prior written approval of JT and shall be subject to subsection 3.1(ii) above.
3.2 MPPF License. Notwithstanding Section 3.1 of this Amendment, Gilead may grant the right to MPPF to issue single tier sublicenses to Generic Licensees under terms and conditions approved by JT in writing.
3.3 Generic Version of Different Combination. If a Generic Licensee proposes to commercialize a Generic Version which contains a combination of APIs that are different (including different dosages, other than of EVG) from any Product under development or being marketed by Gilead, then such commercialization shall be subject to prior review and approval by Gilead with regard to safety considerations.
3.4 Sharing of Generic License Agreement. Upon JT’s request, Gilead shall promptly provide to JT a list of the then-current Generic Licensees and a copy of the Generic License agreement (including any amendment thereto) with each Generic Licensee, and a copy of the MPPF License. Gilead may redact information pertaining only to products which are not Products.
3.5 Generic Licensee Know-How and Patents. JT understands that Gilead has obligations under Section 6.5 of the EVG Agreement with respect to sublicense of Gilead Sublicensee Know-How and Gilead Sublicensee Patents, and that [*]. Gilead will keep JT apprised of any Gilead Sublicensee Know-How and Gilead Sublicensee Patents of Generic Licensees that is provided or reported to Gilead by the Generic Licensees and sublicensable to JT, including [*]. For purposes of Section 9.3(c) (“Gilead Patents”) and 9.4(c) (“Infringement of Gilead Patents”) of the EVG Agreement, “Gilead Patents” shall not include Patents of Generic Licensees. For clarity, any inconsistent or additional obligations of Gilead to obtain rights to Sublicensee Know-How and Sublicensee Patents of Generic Licensees under the EVG Agreement are hereby superseded.
3.6 Generic Licensee Information and Regulatory Filings. JT acknowledges that it shall have no access to or rights to obtain, use or reference any Regulatory Information, records, regulatory filings, correspondence with Regulatory Authorities, Marketing Authorization Applications, INDs and post-approval Phase IIIB/IV data for Products or Regulatory Approvals of Generic Licensees with respect to Generic Versions, except as provided under Section 3.5 of this Amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, JT shall have the right to obtain, use or reference the above-mentioned data, documents and information, if and to the extent Gilead has the right to obtain, use or reference the above-mentioned data, documents and information.
3.7 Safety Data. JT agrees that Section 4.4 (“Adverse Event Reporting and Safety Data Exchange”) of the EVG Agreement shall not apply to Generic Versions.

3.9 Trademark. Gilead and JT agree that the Trademark shall not be used with respect to the Generic Versions. The Generic Licenses shall prohibit the Generic Licensee from using the Trademark with respect to Generic Versions and shall require that the Generic Versions have a trade dress that is distinct from Branded Products.
3.10 Responsibility for Generic Licensees. JT acknowledges that enforcing legal rights in some or all of the Access Countries is more challenging than in countries that are not Access Countries. Therefore, JT agrees that if the actions or inactions of a Generic Licensee cause Gilead to be in breach of the EVG Agreement (including situations where the Generic Licensee acts in a manner inconsistent with the EVG Agreement under Section 16.9), then so long as Gilead is acting in good faith to remedy such breaches (including, without limitation, notifying JT of any material breach (e.g. (A) material quantity of leakage of (i) Generic Versions to the countries other than Access Group A Countries and Access Group B Countries or (ii) API to the countries other than India, Thailand or South Africa or (B) substantial deviation from Good Manufacturing Practices) of the EVG Agreement by Generic Licensees promptly after it is known to Gilead and, upon reasonable request by JT, terminating the Generic License with respect to Products in a timely manner in accordance with the relevant provisions of Generic License), then JT agrees that it will not terminate the EVG Agreement with respect to countries that are not Access Countries because of such breach. Gilead shall indemnify the JT Indemnitees from any losses or damages arising from any breach of the EVG Agreement due to the acts or omissions of Generic Licensees pursuant to Sections 11.2 and 11.4 of the EVG Agreement. Except as specifically set forth in this Section 3.10, nothing in this Amendment limits any rights or remedies of JT for any breach by Gilead of the EVG Agreement.
3.11 Amendment to Gilead’s Indemnification. The first sentence of Section 11.2 of the EVG Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
“Gilead hereby agrees to Indemnify JT and its Affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees (the “JT Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses resulting from Third Party Claims arising directly or indirectly out of (i) a breach of any obligations of Gilead under this Agreement, including without limitation Gilead’s representation and warranties or covenants pursuant to Article 10; or (ii) the Development, manufacture (to the extent of any formulation work performed by Gilead pursuant to Article 7), storage, distribution, promotion, labeling, handling, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of Compound and/or Products by Gilead, its Affiliates or its Generic Licensees in the Gilead Territory (subject to Section 11.3).”
3.12 Audit of Generic Licensees. JT agrees that it shall not have the right to directly audit Generic Licensees under Section 12.1 (“Records; Audits”) of the EVG Agreement. Gilead shall secure the right to audit Generic Licensee in each Generic License. When Gilead has audited Generic Licensee(s), Gilead shall provide the portions of the audit result and report relevant to Products to JT within sixty (60) days from completion of each audit. If requested by JT, Gilead shall promptly audit a Generic Licensee in accordance with Gilead’s audit rights under the applicable Generic License. For clarity, nothing in this Section 3.8 affects JT’s right to audit Gilead or its Affiliates.
3.13 Alternate Dosage. Gilead shall obligate and require Generic Licensees not to manufacture or sell any Generic Versions formulated at a single dose concentration other than

[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
Exectuion Copy
those dose concentrations approved by the FDA for such agents, without prior written consent of Gilead.
3.14 Generic Licensees’ Quarterly Reports. Gilead shall obligate and require Generic Licensees to provide Gilead with quarterly reports on manufacturing and sales as set forth in section 4.3 in Attachment A and Attachment B (and any similar provision in the Generic License to TGPO). Upon JT’s request, Gilead shall provide JT with copies of such quarterly reports; provided that Gilead may redact information which does not pertain to the Products.
3.15 Annual Reports on Different Combination or Alternate Dosage. Gilead shall make commercially reasonable efforts to determine, by itself or through Generic Licensees, the regulatory status in each country of the Generic Version (i) with different combination of APIs and (ii) with alternate dosage, for which Gilead give the approval or consent pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.13 of this Amendment, respectively and shall annually report to JT thereon.
3.16 Third Party’s Infringement. If Gilead learns of any alleged or threatened infringement of the JT Patents in the Access Countries, Gilead shall promptly report same in writing to JT in accordance with Section 9.4(a)(i) of the EVG Agreement and shall cooperate and assist JT, by itself or through Generic Licensees, in the investigation and enforcement pertaining to such infringement.
3.17 JT Xxxx. Gilead shall obligate and require Generic Licensees not to use any JT’s trademark, trade name, logo or service xxxx (each, a “JT Xxxx”), or any word, logo or any expression that is similar to any JT Xxxx.
3.18 Consultation before disclosure of the EVG Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 13.3(c)(iv) of the EVG Agreement, if Gilead plans to disclose any or all of the contents of the EVG Agreement to any Generic Licensee that are not in public domain, Gilead shall give JT reasonable prior written notice thereof, in which case Gilead and JT shall discuss the necessity and the manner of such disclosure and no disclosure shall be made in the absence of agreement by the parties thereon.
3.19 Termination of Generic Licenses. If the EVG Agreement is terminated, Gilead shall terminate the Generic Licenses with respect to the Products as set forth in Section 10.3(b)(iv) in Attachment A, Attachment B (and any similar provision in the Generic License to TGPO) as well as shall terminate the MPPF License with respect to the Products.

In addition, to the extent any such COBI Combination Product also contains TDF, Licensee will also pay Gilead 15% of the portion of COBI Combination Product (other than the Quad) Net Sales attributable to the TDF component of such COBI Combination Product in the Semi-Exclusive Territory as determined in accordance with Section 4.2.
(m) No royalties will be owed on Pediatric Formulations developed and sold by Licensee in accordance with Section 6.2(e).
(n) No royalties will be owed on the emtricitabine component of any Combination Product.
(o) No royalties will be owed on Licensee’s sale of API to other Licensed Product Suppliers, provided such Licensed Product Supplier has executed an agreement with Gilead requiring such Licensed Product Supplier to pay Gilead royalties on finished Product containing such API.
(p) Royalties on sales of Product to Gilead Distributors will be based on Licensee’s invoice price to such Gilead Distributor.
(q) Royalties will only be owed once on each royalty-bearing API of a Combination Product. By means of example, if Licensee pays royalties on the Quad pursuant to Section 4.1(c) or 4.1(h), then Licensee will not also have to pay additional royalties on the TDF component for the sale of the Quad pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or (b), the EVG component pursuant to Section 4.1(d), (f), (i) or (k), or the COBI component pursuant to Section 4.1(e), (g), (j) or (l).
4.2 Adjustment for Combination Products. Solely for the purpose of calculating Net Sales of Combination Products, if Licensee sells Product in the form of a Combination Product containing any Licensed API and one or more other active pharmaceutical ingredients in a particular country, Net Sales of such Combination Product in such country for the purpose of determining the royalty due to Gilead pursuant to Section 4.1 will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination
13

Product in such country by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the invoice price of such Product if sold separately in such country, and B is the total invoice price of the other active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) in the combination if sold separately in such country. If, on a country-by-country basis, such other active pharmaceutical ingredient or ingredients in the Combination Product are not sold separately in such country, but the Product component of the Combination Product is sold separately in such country, Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalties due to Gilead for the Combination Product will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/C, where A is the invoice price of such Product component if sold separately, and C is the invoice price of the Combination Product. If, on a country-by-country basis, such Product component is not sold separately in such country, Net Sales for the purposes of determining royalties due to Gilead for the Combination Product will be D/(D+E), where D is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Products that contains the Product, and E is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Products containing the other active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) or delivery device included in such Combination Product, as such fair market values are determined by mutual agreement of the Parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
4.3 Reports. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Licensee shall (a) provide Gilead with a detailed report of amounts of API and Product produced, API and Product on stock, total invoiced sales, Net Sales, the deductions used to determine Net Sales, number of units of Product sold, each of which shall be reported on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, adjustments for combination products (pursuant to Section 4.2) including calculations showing the Net Sales of the EVG component of any EVG Combination Product, total royalties owed for the calendar quarter, the countries to which the Product has been sent and in what quantities, the Third Party Resellers, if any, to which Licensee has provided Product and in what quantities, and Net Sales by each Third-Party Reseller, and, in the case of the sale of any API to third-party manufacturers of Product, the identity of such third parties and quantities of API sold to each such third party (the “Quarterly Report”); (b) provide Gilead with a written certification of the accuracy of the contents of the Quarterly Report, signed by an appropriate Licensee senior officer; and (c) pay royalties due to Gilead for the calendar quarter on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis. Additionally, together with each Quarterly Report, Licensee shall provide Gilead with a Regulatory Report as set forth in Section 6.3. Licensee shall provide Quarterly Reports and Regulatory Reports to Gilead at the address listed below. Licensee shall pay royalties to Gilead by wire transfer to the bank account indicated by Gilead from time to time. To the extent such Quarterly Reports relate to EVG, EVG Product, EVG Combination Product, or Quad, Gilead will have the right to share such Quarterly Reports with Japan Tobacco.
4.4 Payment Terms. Licensee shall make all payments to Gilead in US Dollars. With regard to sales in currencies other than US Dollars, conversion from local currency into US Dollars shall be at the rate of exchange of the local currency to the US Dollar on the day of payment as reported by the Reserve Bank of India.

4.5 Records. Licensee shall keep complete and accurate records of API and Product produced and sold in sufficient detail to enable Licensee to determine the amount of royalties due, the parties to whom Product or API was sold, and the countries in which sales occurred.
4.6 Audit. Gilead has the right to engage an independent public accountant to perform, on no less than thirty (30) days’ advance notice to Licensee, an audit, conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, of such books and records of Licensee that are deemed necessary by such public accountant to report amounts of API and Product produced, gross sales, Net Sales for the periods requested and accrued royalties. Gilead will bear the full cost of any such audit unless such audit discloses a difference of more than five percent (5%) from the amount of royalties due. In such case, Licensee shall promptly pay Gilead any underpayment and shall bear the full cost of such audit. To the extent relevant to EVG, EVG Product, EVG Combination Product, or Quad, Gilead will have the right to disclose such audit results to Japan Tobacco.
4.7 Interest. Any amount payable hereunder by Licensee, which is not paid on a timely basis, shall bear a pro rata monthly interest rate of one percent (1%) subject to any necessary approvals that may be required.
4.8 Taxes
(a) Withholding Taxes. Licensee shall promptly pay the withholding tax for and on behalf of Gilead to the proper governmental authority and shall promptly furnish Gilead with the tax withholding certificate furnished by the Licensee. Licensee shall be entitled to deduct the withholding tax actually paid from such payment due Gilead. Each party agrees to assist the other party in claiming exemption from such withholdings under double taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force and in minimizing the amount required to be so withheld or deducted.
(b) Other Taxes. Except as provided in this Section 4.8, all taxes or duties in connection with payments made by Licensee shall be borne by Licensee.
4.9 Royalty Term. Royalty payments shall be paid to Gilead by Licensee on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis starting on the date of the first commercial sale of a Product in a country and continuing until the last to occur of the following:
(a) the expiration of the last-to-expire Patent containing a valid claim covering the manufacture, use, import, offer for sale or sale of API or the Product in such country; or

5. Intellectual Property
5.1 Maintenance of Patents. Gilead shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and enforce the Patents in India and in the Semi-Exclusive Territory (including with respect to the exercise of back-up rights to maintain and enforce Patents relating to EVG, EVG Product, EVG Combination Product or Quad in India and the Semi-Exclusive Territory that are subject to the Japan Tobacco Agreement), but shall not be obligated to maintain or enforce the Patents in the remainder of the Territory.
5.2 Cooperation. If either party becomes aware of a suspected infringement of any Patent, such party will notify the other party promptly, and following such notification, the parties will confer. Gilead (except in the case of Patents relating to EVG, EVG Product, EVG Combination Product or Quad that are subject to the Japan Tobacco Agreement and controlled by Japan Tobacco) will have the right, but not the obligation, to bring an infringement action at its own expense, in its own name, and entirely under its own direction and control. Licensee will reasonably assist Gilead (or, where applicable, Japan Tobacco) in such actions or proceedings if so requested, and will lend its name to such actions or proceedings if required by law in order for Gilead (or Japan Tobacco) to bring such action.
5.3 Reporting of Improvements. Licensee shall provide Gilead with an annual report, in writing and in reasonable detail that sets forth any Improvements, including any patent applications claiming Improvements. Licensee shall transfer to Gilead, upon request by Gilead and at Gilead’s expense, any know-how owned or controlled by Licensee relating to such Improvements. Any failure to report any such Improvements to Gilead in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall provide Gilead with the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.3(b). Gilead shall not transfer any Improvements obtained from Licensee to any third party, provided, however, that (a) Gilead may transfer Improvements to Gilead’s own affiliates and suppliers, provided such affiliates and suppliers utilize such Improvements solely for the benefit of Gilead and/or Japan Tobacco, and (b) Gilead may transfer Improvements relating to EVG, EVG Product, EVG Combination Product, or Quad to Japan Tobacco in accordance with the Japan Tobacco Agreement for use solely for the benefit of Japan Tobacco, including the transfer and use of such Improvements to Japan Tobacco’s suppliers for the benefit of Japan Tobacco.
5.4 Trademarks
(a) Any Product offered for sale or sold shall have a different trade dress, including a distinct color, shape and trade name, than the comparable product sold by Gilead and, where applicable, the comparable product sold by Japan Tobacco. For clarity, Licensee’s non-performance of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.4(a) shall constitute a material breach of Licensee’s material obligation under this Agreement.
16
[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
(b) Licensee shall provide to Gilead, prior to any regulatory submissions for any Product, or selling or offering for sale any Product, samples of the Product and any packaging, labeling information or marketing materials (including, but not limited to, advertisement and promotional materials) to be used with the Product to permit Gilead to review and approve the Product and packaging as consistent with the requirements of Section 5.4(a). If Gilead reasonably objects to the trade dress or other aspects of the Product or product packaging based on the requirements of Section 5.4(a), the parties shall discuss in good faith the changes to be made to the Product or packaging to address Gilead’s concerns.
5.5 Technology Transfer. Licensee acknowledges that following execution of the TDF License Agreement Gilead provided to Licensee, and Licensee received, a one-time technology transfer of know-how relating to TDF and TDF Product. Promptly following Gilead’s receipt of marketing approval from the FDA (and on a Product-by-Product basis), Gilead shall make a one-time technology transfer of know-how (a) owned or controlled by Gilead as of the Effective Date, or (b) exclusively licensed by Gilead from Japan Tobacco pursuant to the Japan Tobacco Agreement, relating to the manufacture of EVG, COBI and the Quad to the extent and in the manner specified in Appendix 3 hereto (such TDF, EVG, COBI and Quad know-how, the “Licensed Know-How”). Such Licensed Know-How shall be sufficient to enable Licensee to manufacture TDF and TDF Product, EVG and COBI, EVG Product, COBI Product and Quad, at commercial-scale quantities. Gilead shall have no further obligation to transfer any other know-how to Licensee.
6. Manufacturing and Commercialization of Product
6.1 Promotion of Sales in the Territory. The parties hereto agree that an important purpose of this Agreement is to increase patient access to the Products licensed under this Agreement in the Territory. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Licensee shall have the sole discretion to manage its own commercial strategy to promote and sell the Product in the Territory, provided, however, that Licensee shall not engage in activities that are inconsistent with the first sentence of this Section 6.1. By means of example and without limitation, Licensee agrees that Licensee shall not accept patient orders that Licensee does not have the capacity to fill, and shall not obtain API or Product without having the means, either directly or through the use of permitted third parties, to manufacture such API into Product and/or distribute such Product to patients within the Territory.
6.2 Manufacturing Requirements
17
[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
(a) Minimum Standards. Licensee agrees that it shall manufacture API and Product in a manner consistent with (i) the applicable Indian manufacturing standards; (ii) either World Health Organization (“WHO”) pre-qualification standards, standards of the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), or United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) tentative approval standards (“Minimum Quality Standards”); and (iii) on a country-by-country basis, any applicable national, regional or local standards as may be required by the specific country where Product is sold. Licensee shall apply for WHO pre-qualification or FDA conditional approval for (1) at least one TDF Product or TDF Combination Product no later than the first anniversary of the Effective Date, (2) at least one COBI Product or COBI Combination Product no later than the first anniversary of the FDA approval date for COBI (if COBI is approved), (3) at least one EVG Product or EVG Combination Product no later than the first anniversary of the FDA approval date for EVG (if EVG is approved), and (4) the Quad no later than the first anniversary of the FDA approval date for the Quad (if the Quad is approved).
(b) Audit Right. Licensee hereby agrees to allow Gilead reasonable access to Licensee’s books and records, facilities and employees solely for the purpose and to the extent required for Gilead to audit Licensee’s compliance with the requirements of this Section 6.2. Gilead agrees to provide at least thirty (30) days prior notice of the proposed audit, and agrees that such audits shall not be conducted more than once a year unless circumstances outside the ordinary course of business warrant such an audit (such as an investigation or other government action). To the extent any such audit relates to EVG, EVG Product, EVG Combination Product, or Quad, Gilead will have the right to share reports from any such audit with Japan Tobacco.
(c) Remedy for Failure. If Licensee fails at any time to meet the Minimum Quality Standards or has not received either WHO pre-qualification or FDA conditional approval, as applicable, by the second anniversary of the Effective Date, Gilead may elect, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding Section 10.2 or 10.3 hereof, to suspend the effectiveness of the licenses granted hereunder until such time Gilead has determined that Licensee has corrected any such failure to Gilead’s reasonable satisfaction. During any such suspension, Gilead and Licensee shall coordinate with each other to provide for the supply of API or Product, as appropriate, to ensure that end-user patient requirements are not disrupted as a result of such suspension.
(d) Dose Requirements. All TDF Product and TDF Combination Product manufactured, used or sold by Licensee shall consist of a single dose concentration of 300 milligrams of TDF per dose. All EVG Product, COBI Product, EVG Combination Product, COBI Combination Product, and Quad manufactured, used or sold by Licensee shall consist of single dose concentrations of EVG and/or COBI that are the same as the dose concentration for such agent that has been approved by the FDA. Licensee agrees that it shall not manufacture or sell Products (including Combination Products) formulated at a single dose concentration other than those dose
18
[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
concentrations approved by the FDA for such agents (each an “Alternate Dosage”), without prior written consent from Gilead, provided, however, that in the case of TDF and COBI, Licensee may manufacture or sell TDF Product, TDF Combination Product, COBI Product, or COBI Combination Product consisting of an Alternate Dosage if such Alternate Dosage has been approved for use in the Field by the appropriate regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Product. By means of example, dosage concentrations of TDF lower than 300 milligrams in tablet form will be allowed for pediatric administrations only if such lower dosage has been approved by the FDA or the appropriate foreign regulatory authority for such administration.
(e) Pediatric Formulations. Licensee agrees to use reasonable efforts to develop a TDF Product, TDF Combination Product, EVG Product, EVG Combination Product, COBI Product or COBI Combination Product as either a liquid or dispersible tablet formulation for use in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age (each, a “Pediatric Formulation”), provided, however, that with respect to EVG Product and EVG Combination Product, Licensee agrees not to develop any such Pediatric Formulation without Gilead’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Licensee may seek regulatory approval for Pediatric Formulations anywhere in the Territory.
(i) If Licensee has used reasonable efforts to develop a Pediatric Formulation, then the Semi-Exclusive Term in the Semi-Exclusive Territory will be extended for an additional 5 years. The determination of whether Licensee has used reasonable efforts with respect to such Pediatric Formulation will be at Gilead’s sole discretion, however, if Licensee either (A) commences a human clinical trial of a Pediatric Formulation under an approved US investigational new drug application, or (B) commercializes a Pediatric Formulation in the Territory under an approved US Abbreviated New Drug Application, then Licensee will be deemed to have satisfied the reasonable efforts requirement set forth in this Section 6.2(e)(i) and the Semi-Exclusive Term in the Semi-Exclusive Territory will be extended for an additional 5 years.
(ii) If Licensee is granted regulatory approval to market such Pediatric Formulation, then Licensee will use reasonable efforts to make such Pediatric Formulation available (A) if such Pediatric Formulation is a TDF Product or a TDF Combination Product, throughout the TDF Territory, (B) if such Pediatric Formulation is a COBI Product or a COBI Combination Product, throughout the COBI Territory and the Semi-Exclusive Territory, or (C) if such Pediatric Formulation is an EVG Product or EVG Combination Product, throughout the EVG-Quad Territory and the Semi-Exclusive Territory (for purposes of this Section 6.2(e), “Licensee’s Applicable Territory”), unless the Semi-Exclusive Term is expired or terminated and Licensee no longer has rights in the Semi-Exclusive Territory. Gilead would agree to waive any royalty Gilead otherwise would be entitled to receive for sale of such Pediatric Formulation pursuant to Section 4.1, provided such Pediatric Formulation is sold for use in pediatric populations under age 12 and not in adult populations.
(iii) Licensee will further agree either to license such Pediatric Formulation to Gilead or to other Licensed Product Suppliers, or to manufacture and supply such Pediatric Formulation to one or more Gilead Distributors, for sale (a) in territories that either are outside the scope of Licensee’s Applicable Territory but within the scope of the licensed territory
19
[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
of such designated Licensed Product Supplier or Gilead Distributor, or (b) in territories that are within Licensee’s Applicable Territory but in which Licensee is not able to make such Pediatric Formulation available. Licensee will be entitled to receive compensation for any such license or sale of such Pediatric Formulation to Gilead, a Licensed Product Supplier or Gilead Distributor that would be commensurate with (and not in excess of) the compensation Licensee would receive if Licensee itself sold such Pediatric Formulation in Licensee’s Applicable Territory.
(iv) If Gilead, in its sole discretion, is interested in pursuing the regulatory approval or marketing of such Pediatric Formulation in countries outside Licensee’s Applicable Territory, or in facilitating access to such Pediatric Formulation to countries within Licensee’s Applicable Territory where Licensee has not made such Pediatric Formulation available, then Gilead and Licensee will negotiate a separate agreement relating to such Pediatric Formulation, with such agreement including appropriate compensation for Licensee for such Pediatric Formulation. Gilead shall have the right to sublicense such Pediatric Formulation to Japan Tobacco for use in Japan in accordance with the Japan Tobacco Agreement.
6.3 Regulatory Filings and Inspections. Except as provided otherwise herein, Licensee shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all applicable regulatory or other approvals or authorizations to carry out its activities under this Agreement and shall provide Gilead with a quarterly written report setting forth (a) a list of countries within the Territory for which such regulatory approvals or authorization have been obtained for any Product and (b) a description of activities performed by Licensee, its designee or, to its knowledge any other third party, with respect to the filing, obtaining or maintaining of such regulatory approvals or authorizations within the Territory for any Product (each such report, a “Regulatory Report”). Gilead may, in its discretion, elect to file for regulatory or other approval or authorization to make and sell API and Product anywhere in the Territory. Upon either party’s request, the other party shall provide non-proprietary data that the other party perceives is reasonably necessary to obtain any such approvals, authorizations, permits or licenses. Licensee shall obtain, have and maintain all required registrations for its manufacturing facilities. Licensee shall allow appropriate regulatory authorities to inspect such facilities to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Gilead agrees to provide Licensee with NCE Exclusivity or other regulatory exclusivity waivers as may be required by the applicable regulatory authorities in order to manufacture or sell Product in the Territory, provided such manufacture and sale by Licensee is compliant with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Licensee agrees not to pursue or obtain regulatory exclusivity on any Product in any country within the Territory.
6.4 Marketing Materials. Any marketing materials (including, but not limited to, advertisement and promotional materials) used by Licensee and its Third-Party Resellers shall not contain any misstatements of fact, shall be fully compliant with the applicable laws, rules and regulations, and shall be distinct from, and not cause any confusion with, any marketing materials or Products used or sold by Gilead, or any marketing materials or products sold by Japan Tobacco. Any statements made in such marketing materials regarding Gilead, including without limitation statements made in reference to Licensee’s collaboration with Gilead, require Gilead’s prior written approval.

11
[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

(e) 5% of the portion of EVG Combination Product (other than the Quad) Net Sales attributable to the EVG component of such EVG Combination Product in the EVG-Quad Territory as determined in accordance with Section 4.2. In addition, (i) to the extent any such EVG Combination Product also contains TDF, Licensee will also pay Gilead 5% of the portion of EVG Combination Product (other than the Quad) Net Sales attributable to the TDF component of such EVG Combination Product in the EVG-Quad Territory as determined in accordance with Section 4.2, and (ii) to the extent any such EVG Combination Product also contains COBI, Licensee will also pay Gilead 5% of the portion of EVG Combination Product (other than the Quad) Net Sales attributable to the COBI component of such EVG Combination Product in the EVG-Quad Territory as determined in accordance with Section 4.2.
(f) 5% of COBI Product Net Sales in the COBI Territory.
(g) 5% of the portion of COBI Combination Product (other than the Quad) Net Sales attributable to the COBI component of such COBI Combination Product in the COBI Territory, as determined in accordance with Section 4.2.

12
[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
(l) Royalties will only be owed once on each royalty-bearing API of a Combination Product. By means of example, if Licensee pays royalties on the Quad pursuant to Section 4.1(c), then Licensee will not also have to pay additional royalties on the TDF component for the sale of the Quad pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b), the EVG component pursuant to Section 4.1(d) or 4.1(e), or the COBI component pursuant to Section 4.1(f) or 4.1(g).
4.2 Adjustment for Combination Products. Solely for the purpose of calculating Net Sales of Combination Products, if Licensee sells Product in the form of a Combination Product containing any Licensed API and one or more other active pharmaceutical ingredients in a particular country, Net Sales of such Combination Product in such country for the purpose of determining the royalty due to Gilead pursuant to Section 4.1 will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product in such country by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the invoice price of such Product if sold separately in such country, and B is the total invoice price of the other active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) in the combination if sold separately in such country. If, on a country-by-country basis, such other active pharmaceutical ingredient or ingredients in the Combination Product are not sold separately in such country, but the Product component of the Combination Product is sold separately in such country, Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalties due to Gilead for the Combination Product will be calculated by multiplying actual Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/C, where A is the invoice price of such Product component if sold separately, and C is the invoice price of the Combination Product. If, on a country-by-country basis, such Product component is not sold separately in such country, Net Sales for the purposes of determining royalties due to Gilead for the Combination Product will be D/(D+E), where D is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Products that contains the Product, and E is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Products containing the other active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) or delivery device included in such Combination Product, as such fair market values are determined by mutual agreement of the Parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
4.3 Reports. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Licensee shall (a) provide Gilead with a detailed report of amounts of API and Product produced, API and Product on stock, total invoiced sales, Net Sales, the deductions used to determine Net Sales, number of units of Product sold, each of which shall be reported on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, adjustments for combination products (pursuant to Section 4.2) including calculations showing the Net Sales of the EVG component of any EVG Combination Product, total royalties owed for the calendar quarter, the countries to which the Product has been sent and in what quantities, the Third Party Resellers, if any, to which Licensee has provided Product and in what quantities, and Net Sales by each Third-Party Reseller, and, in the case of the sale of any API to third-party manufacturers of Product, the identity of such third parties and quantities of API sold to each such third party (the “Quarterly Report”); (b) provide Gilead with a written certification of the accuracy of the contents of the Quarterly Report, signed by an
13

Additionally, together with each Quarterly Report, Licensee shall provide Gilead with a Regulatory Report as set forth in Section 6.3. Licensee shall pay royalties to Gilead by wire transfer to the bank account indicated by Gilead from time to time. To the extent such Quarterly Reports relate to EVG, EVG Product, EVG Combination Product, or Quad, Gilead will have the right to share such Quarterly Reports with Japan Tobacco.
4.4 Payment Terms. Licensee shall make all payments to Gilead in US Dollars. With regard to sales in currencies other than US Dollars, conversion from local currency into US Dollars shall be at the rate of exchange of the local currency to the US Dollar on the day of payment as reported by the Reserve Bank of India.
4.5 Records. Licensee shall keep complete and accurate records of API and Product produced and sold in sufficient detail to enable Licensee to determine the amount of royalties due, the parties to whom Product or API was sold, and the countries in which sales occurred.

Gilead has the right to engage an independent public accountant to perform, on no less than thirty (30) days’ advance notice to Licensee, an audit, conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, of such books and records of Licensee that are deemed necessary by such public accountant to report amounts of API and Product produced, gross sales, Net Sales for the periods requested and accrued royalties. Gilead will bear the full cost of any such audit unless such audit discloses a difference of more than five percent (5%) from the amount of royalties due. In such case, Licensee shall promptly pay Gilead any underpayment and shall bear the full cost of such audit. To the extent relevant to EVG, EVG Product, EVG Combination Product, or Quad, Gilead will have the right to disclose such audit results to Japan Tobacco.
4.7 Interest. Any amount payable hereunder by Licensee, which is not paid on a timely basis, shall bear a pro rata monthly interest rate of one percent (1%) subject to any necessary approvals that may be required.
4.8 Taxes
(a) Withholding Taxes. Licensee shall promptly pay the withholding tax for and on behalf of Gilead to the proper governmental authority and shall promptly furnish Gilead with the tax withholding certificate furnished by the Licensee. Licensee shall be entitled to deduct the withholding tax actually paid from such payment due Gilead. Each party agrees to assist the other party in claiming exemption from such withholdings under double taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force and in minimizing the amount required to be so withheld or deducted.

5.2 Reporting of Improvements. Licensee shall provide Gilead with an annual report, in writing and in reasonable detail that sets forth any Improvements, including any patent applications claiming Improvements. Licensee shall transfer to Gilead, upon request by Gilead and at Gilead’s expense, any know-how owned or controlled by Licensee relating to such Improvements. Any failure to report any such Improvements to Gilead in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall provide Gilead with the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2.

(b) Licensee shall provide to Gilead, prior to any regulatory submissions for any Product, or selling or offering for sale any Product, samples of the Product and any packaging, labeling information, or marketing materials (including, but not limited to, advertisement and promotional materials) to be used with the Product to permit Gilead to review and approve the Product and packaging as consistent with the requirements of Section 5.3(a). If Gilead reasonably objects to the trade dress or other aspects of the Product or product packaging based on the requirements of Section 5.3(a), the parties shall discuss in good faith the changes to be made to the Product or packaging to address Gilead’s concerns.
.
5.4 Technology Transfer.

6. | Manufacturing and Commercialization of Product |
6.1 Promotion of Sales in the Territory. The parties hereto agree that an important purpose of this Agreement is to increase patient access to the Products licensed under this Agreement in the Territory. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Licensee shall have the sole discretion to manage its own commercial strategy to promote and sell the Product in the Territory, provided, however, that Licensee shall not engage in activities that are inconsistent with the first sentence of this Section 6.1. By means of example and without limitation, Licensee agrees that Licensee shall not accept patient orders that Licensee does not have the capacity to fill, and shall not obtain API or Product without having the means, either directly or through the use of permitted third parties, to manufacture such API into Product and/or distribute such Product to patients within the Territory.
6.2 Manufacturing Requirements
(a) Minimum Standards. Licensee agrees that it shall manufacture API and Product in a manner consistent with (i) the applicable Indian manufacturing standards; (ii) either World Health Organization (“WHO”) pre-qualification standards, standards of the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), or United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) tentative approval standards (“Minimum Quality Standards”); and (iii) on a country-by-country basis, any applicable national, regional or local standards as may be required by the specific country where Product is sold. Licensee shall apply for WHO pre-qualification or FDA conditional approval for (1) at least one TDF Product or TDF Combination Product no later than the first anniversary of the Effective Date, (2) at least one COBI Product or COBI Combination Product no later than the first anniversary of the FDA approval date for COBI (if COBI is approved), (3) at least one EVG Product or EVG Combination Product no later than the first anniversary of the FDA approval date for EVG (if EVG is approved), or (4) the Quad no later than the first anniversary of the FDA approval date for the Quad (if the Quad is approved).
(b) Audit Right. Licensee hereby agrees to allow Gilead reasonable access to Licensee’s books and records, facilities and employees solely for the purpose and to the extent required for Gilead to audit Licensee’s compliance with the requirements of this Section 6.2. Gilead agrees to provide at least thirty (30) days prior notice of the proposed audit, and agrees that such audits shall not be conducted more than once a year unless circumstances outside the ordinary course of business warrant such an audit (such as an investigation or other government action). To the extent any such audit relates to EVG, EVG Product, EVG Combination Product, or Quad, Gilead will have the right to share reports from any such audit with Japan Tobacco.
(c) Remedy for Failure. If Licensee fails at any time to meet the Minimum Quality Standards or has not received either WHO pre-qualification or FDA
17
[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
conditional approval, as applicable, by the second anniversary of the Effective Date, Gilead may elect, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding Section 10.2 or 10.3 hereof, to suspend the effectiveness of the licenses granted hereunder until such time Gilead has determined that Licensee has corrected any such failure to Gilead’s reasonable satisfaction. During any such suspension, Gilead and Licensee shall coordinate with each other to provide for the supply of API or Product, as appropriate, to ensure that end-user patient requirements are not disrupted as a result of such suspension.
(d) Dose Requirements. All TDF Product and TDF Combination Product manufactured, used or sold by Licensee shall consist of a single dose concentration of 300 milligrams of TDF per dose. All EVG Product, COBI Product, EVG Combination Product, COBI Combination Product, and Quad manufactured, used or sold by Licensee shall consist of single dose concentrations of EVG and/or COBI that are the same as the dose concentration for such agent that has been approved by the FDA. Licensee agrees that it shall not manufacture or sell Products (including Combination Products) formulated at a single dose concentration other than those dose concentrations approved by the FDA for such agents (each an “Alternate Dosage”), without prior written consent from Gilead, provided, however, that in the case of TDF and COBI, Licensee may manufacture or sell TDF Product, TDF Combination Product, COBI Product, or COBI Combination Product consisting of an Alternate Dosage if such Alternate Dosage has been approved for use in the Field by the appropriate regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Product. By means of example, dosage concentrations of TDF lower than 300 milligrams in tablet form will be allowed for pediatric administrations only if such lower dosage has been approved by the FDA or the appropriate foreign regulatory authority for such administration.
(e) Pediatric Formulations. Licensee will have the right to develop a TDF Product, TDF Combination Product, EVG Product, EVG Combination Product, COBI Product or COBI Combination Product as either a liquid or dispersible tablet formulation for use in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age (each, a “Pediatric Formulation”), provided, however, that with respect to EVG Product and EVG Combination Product, Licensee agrees not to develop any such Pediatric Formulation without Gilead’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Licensee may seek regulatory approval for Pediatric Formulations anywhere in the Territory.
(i) If Licensee is granted regulatory approval to market such Pediatric Formulation, then Licensee will use reasonable efforts to make such Pediatric Formulation available (A) if such Pediatric Formulation is a TDF Product or a TDF Combination Product, throughout the TDF Territory, (B) if such Pediatric Formulation is a COBI Product or a COBI Combination Product, throughout the COBI Territory, or (C) if such Pediatric Formulation is an EVG Product or EVG Combination Product, throughout the EVG-Quad Territory (for purposes of this Section 6.2(e), “Licensee’s Applicable Territory”).

(ii) Licensee will further agree either to license such Pediatric Formulation to Gilead or to other Licensed Product Suppliers or to manufacture and supply such Pediatric Formulation to one or more Gilead Distributors for sale (a) in territories that either are outside the scope of Licensee’s Applicable Territory but within the scope of the licensed territory of such designated Licensed Product Supplier or Gilead Distributor, or (b) in territories that are within Licensee’s Applicable Territory but in which Licensee is not able to make such Pediatric Formulation available. Licensee will be entitled to receive compensation for any such license or sale of such Pediatric Formulation to Gilead, a Licensed Product Supplier or Gilead Distributor that would be commensurate with (and not in excess of) the compensation Licensee would receive if Licensee itself sold such Pediatric Formulation in Licensee’s Applicable Territory.
(iii) If Gilead, in its sole discretion, is interested in pursuing the regulatory approval or marketing of such Pediatric Formulation in countries outside Licensee’s Applicable Territory, or in facilitating access to such Pediatric Formulation to countries within Licensee’s Applicable Territory where Licensee has not made such Pediatric Formulation available, then Gilead and Licensee will negotiate a separate agreement relating to such Pediatric Formulation, with such agreement including appropriate compensation for Licensee for such Pediatric Formulation. Gilead shall have the right to sublicense such Pediatric Formulation to Japan Tobacco for use in Japan in accordance with the Japan Tobacco Agreement.

Upon either party’s request, the other party shall provide non-proprietary data that the other party perceives is reasonably necessary to obtain any such approvals, authorizations, permits or licenses. Licensee shall obtain, have and maintain all required registrations for its manufacturing facilities. Licensee shall allow appropriate regulatory authorities to inspect such facilities to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation.

Within thirty (30) days prior to the first commercial launch by Licensee of a Product, and each year thereafter for so long as this Agreement is in effect, Licensee shall provide to Gilead certificates of insurance by insurers acceptable to Gilead evidencing comprehensive general liability coverage, including products liability, with a combined limit of no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) for bodily injury, including personal injury, and property damage.

10. | Term and Termination |
10.1 Term. This Agreement shall enter into force upon the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated as provided herein, shall continue until the expiration of the Royalty Term. Upon expiration of the Royalty Term (but not the earlier termination therof), and with respect to a particular Product in a particular country in the Territory, subject to the terms and conditions herein with respect to such Product and such country, the license and sublicense granted in Article 2 to Licensee shall become a perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty free license under the Licensed Know-How to develop, make, have made, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale, import and distribute such Product in the Field in such country.
10.2 Termination for Breach. A party (“non-breaching party”) shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event the other party (“breaching party”) is in material breach of any of its material obligations under this Agreement. The non-breaching party shall provide written notice to the breaching party. The breaching party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after such written notice is provided to cure such breach. If such breach is not cured within the thirty day period, this Agreement shall effectively terminate.
10.3 Gilead Right to Terminate
(a) Gilead shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and/or one or both of the licenses granted pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 (whether or not such event constitutes a right of termination pursuant to Section 10.2), immediately if in the reasonable opinion of Gilead, control (through ownership or otherwise) of Licensee changes.
23
[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(b) Gilead shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and/or one or both of the licenses granted pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 or the covenant contained in Section 7.6 (whether or not such event constitutes a right of termination pursuant to Section 10.2), if:
(i) Gilead reasonably determines that a material quantity of API or Product made and/or sold by Licensee has been diverted to countries outside the Territory, whether or not by any fault or action or inaction of Licensee;
(ii) Gilead reasonably determines that, due to material deficiencies in Licensee’s compliance, or repeated failure to comply, with the Minimum Quality Standards, Licensee is unable to reliably and consistently manufacture API or Product in accordance with the Minimum Quality Standards;
(iii) Gilead reasonably determines that Licensee has obtained material quantities of API from sources outside the Territory, or in ways that are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of Section 3; or
(iv) Gilead’s rights to EVG terminate due to the termination of the Japan Tobacco Agreement, provided, however, that in such event, such termination would only apply on a Product-by-Product basis and with respect to Products containing EVG that are subject to the sublicense granted by Gilead under the Japan Tobacco Agreement.
Gilead shall give Licensee written notice of any such event and provide Licensee with a period of thirty (30) days after such notice to demonstrate that the conditions giving rise to Gilead’s determination no longer exist to Gilead’s reasonable satisfaction. If Licensee is unable to do so, this Agreement shall be terminated effective upon the thirtieth (30th) day following such notice.
10.4 Licensee Right to Terminate Agreement. Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Gilead.
10.5 Licensee Right to Terminate License on an API Basis. Licensee shall have the right at its sole discretion, to terminate the licenses granted under Article 2 with respect to any particular API at any time by notifying Gilead in writing. Any such written notice shall expressly identify the API or APIs for which Licensee desires to terminate its license from Gilead (each, a “Terminated API”). Any such termination shall become effective immediately upon receipt of such written notice by Gilead (the “API Termination Date”). In the event of any such termination, and with respect to any such Terminated API, and in each case subject to Section 10.8, the following terms shall apply as of the API Termination Date.
24
[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(a) All licenses granted by Gilead under this Agreement with respect to such Terminated API, and any other rights granted by Gilead with respect to such Terminated API, including without limitation Gilead’s obligation to conduct a technology transfer with respect to such API pursuant to Section 5.4, shall terminate and all Sections of this Agreement shall be interpreted to exclude such Terminated API therefrom (including with respect to rights granted to Gilead pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 6.2(e)(iii)).
(b) All licenses granted by Gilead under this Agreement with respect to any product containing such Terminated API (each, a “Terminated Product”), and any other rights granted by Gilead with respect to such Terminated Product, shall terminate and all Sections of this Agreement shall be interpreted to exclude such Terminated Product therefrom (including with respect to rights granted to Gilead pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 6.2(e)(iii)). For the avoidance of doubt (i) any termination by Licensee of its license to TDF pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall in turn terminate the license and rights granted to Licensee hereunder with respect to TDF Product and TDF Combination Product, and the Quad; (ii) any termination by Licensee of its license to COBI pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall in turn terminate the license and rights granted to Licensee hereunder with respect to COBI Product, COBI Combination Product, and the Quad; and (iii) any termination by Licensee of its license to EVG pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall in turn terminate the license and rights granted to Licensee hereunder with respect to EVG Product, EVG Combination Product, and the Quad.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee will have no obligation to pay Gilead any royalties on Net Sales generated from such Terminated Product after the API Termination Date.
Termination of any license with respect to any API under this Section 10.5 shall not relieve Licensee of any obligation accruing on or prior to the API Termination Date therefor, including the obligation to pay royalties pursuant to Article 4 on Net Sales of any Product sold prior to the API Termination Date. Upon termination of all API licensed to Licensee under this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated in its entirety pursuant to Section 10.4. Nothing set forth in this Section 10.5 shall be deemed a waiver by Gilead to enforce any Patent or any other intellectual property right owned or controlled by Gilead against Licensee for any activities Licensee may undertake with respect to any Terminated API or Terminated Product after any such API Termination Date.
10.6 Insolvency. In the event that Licensee becomes insolvent, makes an assignment to the benefit of creditors, or has a petition in bankruptcy filed for or against it, Gilead shall have the right to treat such event as a material breach.
10.7 Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver as to any subsequent or similar breach.
