Upon such notice, Neurocrine and MTPC will in good faith prepare and agree on a schedule and plan pursuant to which MTPC (directly or through its Affiliate or CMOs) will assume such manufacturing responsibility.

For clarity, in case MTPC assumes the manufacturing and supplying API or Drug Product, Neurocrine shall not unreasonably refuse MTPC to right to use the CMO (including the CMO for the manufacturing of the starting material) that is the same as the one Neurocrine used to manufacture API or Drug Product. The Parties agree to discuss in good faith a joint purchasing arrangement, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

7.3 Formulation Activities. If MTPC desires to use a different formulation of Drug Product, in connection with Development or Commercialization of Compounds and Products in the Field in the MTPC Territory, from the one that Neurocrine is developing and using as of the Effective Date, MTPC shall be solely responsible for all related formulation and process development activities. In no event will Neurocrine be obligated to supply API or Drug Product under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement in a different formulation from the one that Neurocrine is developing and using as of the Effective Date, provided that Neurocrine shall provide MTPC with reasonable support and assistance at MTPC’s reasonable request provided […***…] advance notice is provided to Neurocrine. MTPC shall reimburse all reasonable internal (at a fully-burdened rate) and external costs incurred by Neurocrine to conduct such activities, provided that items and costs of such activities shall be discussed and agreed upon in advance between the Parties.

7.4 Technical Transfer. Upon reasonable request from MTPC, Neurocrine shall forthwith and cooperate with MTPC or its designated manufacturer and provide MTPC or its designated manufacturer with technical assistance, with respect to Neurocrine Technology in order to enable MTPC to use such Neurocrine Technology to manufacture and produce the API and Drug Product. Neurocrine shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such technical transfer within […***…] after such request. Upon reasonable request from MTPC, Neurocrine shall forthwith and cooperate with MTPC or its designated analytical testing facility and provide MTPC or its designated analytical testing facility with technical assistance, with respect to Neurocrine Technology in order to enable MTPC to use such Neurocrine Technology to analyze the API and Drug Product. Neurocrine shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such technical transfer within […***…] after such request. MTPC shall reimburse all reasonable internal (at a fully-burdened rate) and external costs incurred by Neurocrine to conduct such activities under this Section 7.4, provided that items and costs of such activities shall be discussed and agreed upon in advance between the Parties.

7.5 Information on Manufacture. To the extent Neurocrine, itself or through any Affiliate or CMO, supplies API and Drug Product for Development and Commercialization under this Agreement, Neurocrine shall make available to MTPC all information, in its possession and Neurocrine has the legal right to transfer, related to the Manufacture of API and Drug Product to enable MTPC to maintain or obtain the Regulatory Approval in the MTPC Territory. Neurocrine shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require that CMO allow Neurocrine to provide MTPC access to and the right to use all Manufacturing information, in CMO’s possession, to the extent that such information is reasonably useful for Development or Commercialization of Compounds and Products in the Field for the MTPC Territory, including preparation and filing of XXXx for a Product with the applicable Regulatory Authorities in the MTPC Territory, in accordance with this Agreement. MTPC shall reimburse all reasonable internal (at a fully-burdened rate) and external costs incurred by Neurocrine to conduct such

activities under this Section 7.5, provided that items and costs of such activities shall be discussed and agreed upon in advance between the Parties.


8.			FEESAND PAYMENTS

8.1 Upfront Payment. MTPC shall make a one-time payment to Neurocrine of thirty million U.S. dollars ($30,000,000) within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Such amount shall be subject to twenty percent (20.42%) withholding by MTPC (i.e., MTPC may withhold $6,126,000 and make a net payment to Neurocrine of $23,874,000), unless prior to such thirty (30) day period MTPC has received from Neurocrine the documents necessary or useful for avoiding withholding taxes (“Tax Withholding Avoidance Documents”). If MTPC so withholds, then MTPC will reasonably assist Neurocrine in obtaining a refund of the withheld amounts from the applicable Japanese tax authorities upon the receipt from Neurocrine of the Tax Withholding Avoidance Documents at a subsequent date. The examples of the Tax Withholding Avoidance Documents between Japan and United States in 2009 are: Form #3 (Application form for income tax convention), Form #17 (Application for enjoying income tax benefit), and Form #6166 (to be issued by Department of the Treasury, IRS, USA). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Neurocrine will fail to provide the Tax Withholding Avoidance Documents prior to such thirty (30) days period, the Parties may agree to extend the due date of upfront payment until Neurocrine will provide such Tax Withholding Avoidance Documents to MTPC.

8.2 Milestone Payments.

(a) Regulatory and Commercialization Milestone Payments.

(i) Neurocrine shall notify MTPC of the first achievement of each Milestone Event below (whether by Neurocrine or its Affiliate or a Neurocrine Collaborator).

(d) Deduction for Third Party Settlements. MTPC shall be responsible for all payments owed to any Third Party in connection with any settlement it enters under Section 10.5. On a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, MTPC may deduct […***…] of royalty payments actually paid to such Third Party under such settlement agreement from any royalty payments owed to Neurocrine under this Section 8.3, provided that in no event shall the deductions under this Section 8.3(d) and Section 8.3(c) reduce royalties in any Calendar Quarter with respect to such Product in such country to less than […***…] of the amount that would otherwise be due to Neurocrine.


9.			PAYMENT; RECORDS; AUDITS

9.1 Payment; Reports. Royalty payments due by MTPC to Neurocrine under Section 8.3 shall be calculated and reported for each Calendar Quarter. The final report for each Calendar Quarter setting forth, on a country-by-country basis, Net Sales of Products by MTPC and its Affiliates and Sublicensees in the MTPC Territory in sufficient detail to permit confirmation of the accuracy of the royalty payment made, including, for each country, the number of Products sold, the gross sales and Net Sales of Products, including the deductions from gross sales to arrive at Net Sales, the royalties payable, the method used to calculate the royalties, the exchange rates used and any adjustments to royalties in accordance with Section 8.3, shall be provided to Neurocrine within […***…] after the end of each Calendar Quarter. All royalty payments due under Section 8.3 shall be paid from MTPC’s Japan offices within […***…] after the end of each Calendar Quarter

9.2 Exchange Rate; Manner and Place of Payment. All references to dollars and “$” herein shall refer to U.S. dollars. All references to yen and “¥” herein shall refer to the Japanese yen. All payments hereunder shall be payable in U.S. dollars. When conversion of payments from any currency other than U.S. dollars is required, such conversion shall be at an exchange rate equal to the average of the daily rates of exchange for the currency of the country from which such payments are payable to the U.S. dollar as published by The Wall Street Journal , Western U.S. Edition, during the Calendar Quarter in which the applicable sales were

made. All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by Neurocrine, unless otherwise specified in writing by Neurocrine.

9.3 Taxes.

(a) Cooperation and Coordination. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual objective and intent to minimize, to the extent feasible and in compliance with Applicable Laws, taxes payable with respect to their collaborative efforts under this Agreement and that they shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate with each other to achieve such objective. As such, MTPC shall not change the country from which its payments to Neurocrine originate without the prior written consent of Neurocrine.

(b) Payment of Tax. Neurocrine will pay any and all taxes levied on account of any payments made to it under this Agreement. If any taxes are required to be withheld by MTPC from any payment made to Neurocrine under this Agreement, Neurocrine will provide the Tax Withholding Avoidance Documents to MTPC prior to such payment to Neurocrine for avoiding withholding taxes. In case the Tax Withholding Avoidance Documents are not available to MTPC at the due date of such payments to Neurocrine, MTPC will (i) deduct such taxes from the payment made to Neurocrine, (ii) timely pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (iii) send proof of payment to Neurocrine and certify its receipt by the taxing authority within […***…] following such payment. For purposes of this Section 9.3, each Party agrees to provide the other with reasonably requested assistance to enable the due deduction by MTPC and appropriate recovery by Neurocrine, which assistance includes provision of any tax forms and other information that may be reasonably necessary in order for MTPC not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral tax treaty, as the same may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case the Tax Withholding Avoidance Documents are not available to MTPC at the due date of such payments to Neurocrine, the Parties may agree to extend the due date of upfront payment until Neurocrine will provide such Tax Withholding Avoidance Documents to MTPC.

9.4 Records; Audit. MTPC shall keep, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, complete and accurate records pertaining to the sale or other disposition of Products in sufficient detail to permit Neurocrine to confirm the accuracy of royalty payments due hereunder.

Neurocrine shall have the right to cause an independent, international, certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to MTPC to audit such records to confirm Net Sales, royalties and other payments for a period covering not more than […***…] following the Calendar Quarter to which they pertain. Such audits may be exercised during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to MTPC. Prompt adjustments shall be made by the Parties to reflect the results of such audit. Neurocrine shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by MTPC of more than […***…] of the amount of royalties or other payments due under this Agreement for any applicable Calendar Quarter, in which case, MTPC shall bear the cost of such audit and shall promptly remit to Neurocrine the amount of any underpayment. Any overpayment by MTPC revealed by an audit shall be credited

against future payment owed by MTPC to Neurocrine (and if no further payments are due, shall be refunded by Neurocrine at the request of MTPC).

9.5 Late Payments. In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not paid when due in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the payment shall accrue interest from the date due at the rate of […***…] per month; provided, however, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate. The payment of such interest shall not limit the Party entitled to receive payment from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties as part of a cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery or damages realized as a result of such action or proceeding with respect to Joint Patents outside the MTPC Territory shall be used first to reimburse the Parties’ documented out-of-pocket legal expenses relating to the action or proceeding on a pro rata basis, and any remaining compensatory damages relating to Products (including lost sales or lost profits with respect to Products) shall be retained by the Party that brought and controlled such action or proceeding, and any punitive damages shall be equally shared by the Parties.

(e) Cooperation. In the event a Party brings an action in accordance with this Section 10.4, the other Party shall cooperate fully, including, if required to bring such action, the furnishing of a power of attorney or being named as a party to such action.

10.5 Infringement of Third Party Rights. Each Party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any allegation by a Third Party that the manufacture, Development, importation, use, marketing or sale of any Compound or Product in the MTPC Territory infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of a Third Party (each an “Infringement Claim” ). The notice shall set forth the facts of the Infringement Claim in reasonable detail. MTPC shall have the first right to control any defense of any such claim at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Neurocrine shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If MTPC fails to defend against such action, or notifies Neurocrine that it does not intend to defend against such action, within (A) […***…] following the notice of alleged infringement or (B) […***…] before the time limit, if any, set forth in the appropriate laws and regulations for the response to such action, whichever comes first, Neurocrine shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any such action at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and MTPC shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice. If MTPC enters into a settlement of any such action with the applicable Third Party, and such action relates to a claim that Neurocrine Technology infringes the intellectual property rights of such Third Party, that provides for royalty payments to such Third Party by MTPC, then MTPC shall have the right to credit […***…] of such payments against royalties payable to Neurocrine, as and to the extent set forth in Section 8.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any actions subject to Section 14.1 will be governed by Section 14.1 and not by this Section 10.5.

10.6 Consent for Settlement. Neither Party shall unilaterally enter into any settlement or compromise of any action or proceeding under this Article 10 that would in any manner alter, diminish, or be in derogation of the other Party’s rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of such other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

10.7 Trademarks. MTPC shall own and be responsible for all trademarks, trade names, branding or logos related to Products in the Field in the MTPC Territory. Subject to consultation with Neurocrine through the JDC, MTPC shall be responsible for selecting, registering, prosecuting, defending, and maintaining all such marks at MTPC’s sole discretion, cost and expense.

10.8 Neurocrine Controlled Patents Outside the MTPC Territory. For clarity, Neurocrine reserves all rights to prepare, file, prosecute (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and re-examinations), maintain, defend and enforce all Patents owned or controlled by Neurocrine related to Compounds and Products outside the MTPC Territory (other than Joint Patents). In the event that Neurocrine becomes aware of any infringement or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any Neurocrine Patent outside the MTPC Territory, or any declaratory judgment or equivalent action challenging any Neurocrine Patent in connection with any such infringement outside the MTPC Territory, Neurocrine shall notify MTPC in writing to that effect.

12.			INDEMNIFICATION

12.1 Indemnification by Neurocrine. Neurocrine hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless MTPC, its Affiliates and Sublicensees and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “ MTPC Indemnitee ”) from and against any and all liabilities, expenses and losses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees (collectively, “ Losses ”), to which any MTPC Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any Third Party to the extent such Losses arise out of: (a) the Development, use, handling, storage, sale or other disposition of any Compound or Product by Neurocrine or its Affiliates or Neurocrine Collaborators (excluding any activities by or on behalf of MTPC or its Affiliates or Sublicensees), (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Neurocrine Indemnitee, or (c) the breach by Neurocrine of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Neurocrine in this Agreement; except, in each case (a)-(c), to the extent such Losses arise out of the negligence or willful misconduct of any MTPC Indemnitee or the breach by MTPC of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by MTPC in this Agreement or the Supply Agreement.

12.2 Indemnification by MTPC. MTPC hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Neurocrine, its Affiliates and the Neurocrine Collaborators and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, a “ Neurocrine Indemnitee ”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Neurocrine Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any Third Party to the extent such Losses arise out of: (a) the Development, use, handling, storage, sale or other disposition of any Compound or Product by MTPC or its Affiliates or Sublicensees (excluding any activities by or on behalf of Neurocrine or its Affiliates or Neurocrine Collaborators), (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of any MTPC Indemnitee, or (c) the breach by MTPC of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by MTPC in this Agreement; except, in each case (a)-(c), to the extent such Losses arise out of the negligence or willful misconduct of any Neurocrine Indemnitee or the breach by Neurocrine of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Neurocrine in this Agreement or the Supply Agreement.

12.3 Procedure. A Party that intends to claim indemnification under this Article 12 (the “ Indemnitee ”) shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the “ Indemnitor ”) in writing of any Third Party claim, demand, action or other proceeding (each, a “ Claim ”) in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall have sole control of the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnitee may participate at its expense in the Indemnitor’s defense of and settlement negotiations for any Claim with counsel of the Indemnitee’s own selection. The indemnity arrangement in this Article 12 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any action with respect to a Claim, if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under this Article 12 if and to the extent the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action with respect to a Claim covered by this indemnification.

12.5 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF ARTICLE 13 AND UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM THE OTHER PARTY ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LICENSE GRANTED HEREUNDER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SECTION 12.5 SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS ARTICLE 12.


13.			CONFIDENTIALITY

13.1 Confidential Information. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the Parties agree that, […***…], 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 Confidential Information of the other Party under to this Agreement, and both Parties shall keep confidential and, subject to Sections 13.2 and 13.3 and 13.5, shall not publish or otherwise disclose the terms of this Agreement. Each Party may use the other Party’s Confidential Information only to the extent required to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including exercising its rights or performing its obligations. 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, contractors and other representatives do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of the other Party. Each Party will promptly notify the other upon

discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other Party.

13.2 Exceptions. The obligations of confidentiality and restriction on use under Section 13.1 will not apply to any information that the receiving Party can prove by competent written evidence: (a) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the receiving Party, generally known or available to the public; (b) is known by the receiving Party at the time of receiving such information, other than by previous disclosure of the disclosing Party, or its Affiliates, employees, agents, consultants, or contractors; (c) is hereafter furnished to the receiving Party without restriction by a Third Party who has no obligation of confidentiality or limitations on use with respect thereto, as a matter of right; or (d) is independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party without the use of Confidential Information belonging to the disclosing Party.

13.3 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:

(a) filing, prosecuting, or maintaining Patents as permitted by this Agreement;

(b) regulatory filings for Products that such Party has a license or right to Develop hereunder in a given country or jurisdiction;

(d) complying with applicable court orders or governmental regulations; and

(e) disclosure to its and its Affiliates’ employees, consultants, contractors and agents, to Neurocrine Collaborators (in the case of Neurocrine) and to Sublicensees (in the case of MTPC), in each case on a need-to-know basis in connection with the Development, manufacture and Commercialization of Compounds and Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Supply Agreement, in each case under written obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those herein; and

(f) disclosure to potential and actual investors, acquirers, licensees and other financial or commercial partners solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or potential investment, acquisition or collaboration, in each case under written obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 13.3(c) or (d), 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 Confidential 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. Any information disclosed pursuant to Section 13.3(c) or (d) shall remain Confidential Information and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including the foregoing provisions of this Article 13.

13.4 Publications. Each Party shall have the right to review and comment on any material proposed for disclosure or publication by the other Party regarding results of and other information regarding the other Party’s Development activities with respect to Products, whether by oral presentation, manuscript or abstract if, in the reasonable opinion of the submitting Party, may negatively affect Development and/or Commercialization of Products in the MTPC Territory (for Neurocrine publications) or outside the MTPC Territory (for MTPC publications), as the case may be. For the sake of clarity, any press release or other disclosures to the investment community by a Party shall follow the process set forth in Section 13.5 below, and not the process contained in this Section 13.4. Before any such material is submitted for publication or presentation of any such material is made, each Party shall deliver a complete copy to the other Party at least […***…] prior to submitting the material to a publisher or initiating any other disclosure. Each Party shall review any such material and give its comments to the other Party within […***…] of the receipt of such material. With respect to oral presentation materials and abstracts, each Party shall make reasonable efforts to expedite review of such materials and abstracts, and shall return such items as soon as practicable to the other Party with appropriate comments, if any, but in no event later than […***…] from receipt. Each Party shall comply with the other Party’s request to delete references to its Confidential Information in any such material and agrees to delay any submission for publication or other public disclosure for a period of up to an additional […***…] for the purpose of preparing and filing appropriate patent applications.

13.5 Publicity; Public Disclosures. The Parties agree to issue an initial press release substantially in the form agreed to prior to the Effective Date, to issue it on or as promptly as practicable following, the Effective Date. It is understood that each Party may desire or be required to issue subsequent press releases relating to this Agreement or activities hereunder. The Parties agree to consult with each other reasonably and in good faith with respect to the text and timing of such press releases prior to the issuance thereof, to the extent practicable, provided that a Party may not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent to such releases, and that either Party may issue such press releases or make such disclosures to the SEC or other applicable agency as it determines, based on advice of counsel, are reasonably necessary to comply with laws or regulations or for appropriate market disclosure. Each Party shall provide the other Party with advance notice of legally required disclosures to the extent practicable. The Parties will consult with each other on the provisions of this Agreement to be redacted in any filings made by a Party with the SEC or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws; provided that each Party shall have the right to make any such filing as it reasonably determines necessary under Applicable Laws. In addition, following the initial press release announcing this Agreement, either Party shall be free to disclose, without the other Party’s prior written consent, the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the other Party and those terms of the Agreement which have already been publicly disclosed in accordance herewith.

13.6 Prior Confidentiality Agreement. As of the Effective Date, the terms of this Article 13 shall supersede any prior non-disclosure, secrecy or confidentiality agreement

between the Parties (or their Affiliates) relating to the subject of this Agreement, including the Confidentiality Agreement. Any information disclosed pursuant to any such prior agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement.

13.7 Equitable Relief. Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that a Party would suffer upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 13. In addition to all other remedies, a Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 13.


14.			TERMAND TERMINATION

14.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier as provided in this Article 14 or by mutual written agreement of the Parties, shall continue until the expiration of the last Royalty Term in the MTPC Territory (the “ Term ”). Upon expiration (but not termination) of this Agreement, MTPC’s licenses under Section 2.1 will become perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully paid-up and royalty free.

14.2 Termination for Cause.

(a) Material Breach. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to the other Party if such other Party materially breaches this Agreement and has not cured such breach within […***…] ([…***…] with respect to any payment breach) after notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party.

(b) Bankruptcy. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to the other Party if 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 is not dismissed within […***…] after the commencement thereof.

14.3 Termination for Patent Challenge. Neurocrine shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to MTPC if MTPC or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees directly, or indirectly through any Third Party, commences any interference or opposition proceeding with respect to, challenges the validity or enforceability of, or opposes any extension of or the grant of a supplementary protection certificate with respect to, any Neurocrine Patent.

14.4 Termination by MTPC. MTPC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason or for no reason upon […***…] written notice to Neurocrine.

14.5 Effects of Termination for in Certain Situations. Upon any termination of this Agreement by Neurocrine pursuant to Section 14.2, 14.3 or the termination of this Agreement by MTPC pursuant to 14.4, the following will apply:

(a) Termination of Licenses and Other Rights. All licenses granted to MTPC will automatically terminate, all other rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, and all sublicenses under the Neurocrine Technology granted from MTPC to any Sublicensee will automatically terminate, in each case on the effective date of termination; provided however, MTPC shall have a fully-paid, perpetual license to the MTPC Compound Improvement Inventions.

(b) Assignments. Neurocrine shall notify MTPC within […***…] after the effective date of termination whether it wishes to obtain the assignments set forth in Sections 14.5(b)(i)-(iii). All such assignments under Sections 14.5(b)(i)-(iii) will be without cost to Neurocrine.

(i) Regulatory Filings. As promptly as practicable (and in any event within […***…]) after such notice, MTPC shall: (A) to the extent not previously provided to Neurocrine, deliver to Neurocrine true, correct and complete copies of all Regulatory Filings (including Regulatory Approvals) for Products in the Field in the MTPC Territory, and provide to Neurocrine all MTPC Know-How not previously disclosed to Neurocrine; (B) and hereby does, effective upon such termination, transfer and assign, or cause to be transferred or assigned, to Neurocrine or its designee (or to the extent not so assignable, take all reasonable actions to make available to Neurocrine or its designee the benefits of) all Regulatory Filings (including Regulatory Approvals) for Products in the Field in the MTPC Territory, whether held in the name of MTPC or its Affiliate or Sublicensee; and (C) take such other actions and execute such other instruments, assignments and documents as may be necessary to effect, evidence, register and record the transfer, assignment or other conveyance of rights under this Section 14.5(b)(i) to Neurocrine;

(ii) MTPC Technology. MTPC shall, and hereby does, effective upon such termination, assign to Neurocrine all of MTPC’s and its Affiliates’ right, title and interest in and to the MTPC Technology, and MTPC shall promptly take such actions and execute such instruments, assignments and documents as may be necessary to effect, evidence, register and record such assignment, at Neurocrine’s cost; and

(iii) Marks. MTPC shall, and hereby does, effective on such termination, assign to Neurocrine all of MTPC’s and its Affiliates’ right, title and interest in and to any and all Product-specific trademarks used by MTPC and its Affiliates in the MTPC Territory, including all goodwill therein, and MTPC shall promptly take such actions and execute such instruments, assignments and documents as may be necessary to effect, evidence, register and record such assignment, at Neurocrine’s cost;

(c) Wind-Down. MTPC shall, as directed by Neurocrine, either wind-down any ongoing Development activities of MTPC and its Affiliates and Sublicensees with respect to any Products in the Field in the MTPC Territory in an orderly fashion or promptly transfer such Development activities to Neurocrine or its designee, in compliance with all Applicable Laws;

(d) Transition Assistance. MTPC shall, at no cost to Neurocrine, provide reasonable consultation and assistance for a period of no more than […***…] for the purpose of transferring or transitioning to Neurocrine all MTPC Know-How not already in Neurocrine’s possession and, at Neurocrine’s request, all then-existing commercial arrangements relating specifically to Compounds and Products that MTPC is able, using commercially reasonable efforts, to transfer or transition to Neurocrine, in each case, to the extent reasonably necessary or useful for Neurocrine to commence Developing, manufacturing, or Commercializing Products in the MTPC Territory. The foregoing shall include transferring, upon request of Neurocrine, any agreements with Third Party suppliers or vendors that specifically cover the supply or sale of Compounds or Products in the MTPC Territory. If any such contract between MTPC and a Third Party is not assignable to Neurocrine (whether by such contract’s terms or because such contract does not relate specifically to Compounds or Products) but is otherwise reasonably necessary or useful for Neurocrine to commence Developing, manufacturing, or Commercializing Products in the MTPC Territory, or if MTPC manufactures the Product itself (and thus there is no contract to assign), then MTPC shall reasonably cooperate with Neurocrine to negotiate for the continuation of services or supply from such entity, or MTPC shall supply such Compound or Product, as applicable, to Neurocrine for a reasonable period (not to exceed […***…]) until Neurocrine establishes an alternate, validated source of such services or supply of finished, packaged, labeled Product for the MTPC Territory. The cost to Neurocrine for such supply from MTPC shall be at MTPC’s cost.

(e) Remaining Inventories. MTPC shall promptly deliver, at no charge, to Neurocrine all of the inventory of Compounds and Products held by MTPC as of the date of termination (that are not committed to be supplied to any Third Party or Sublicensee, in the ordinary course of business, as of the date of termination) at a price equal to MTPC’s actual cost to acquire or manufacture such inventory.

14.6 Effects of Material Breach by Neurocrine. If Neurocrine materially breaches this Agreement and has not cured such breach within […***…] after notice of such breach from MTPC (or, in the event the breach is not one that can be cured within […***…], has not implemented a plan to cure such breach within […***…]), MTPC shall have the right to seek the following remedies;

(a) In the case that MTPC will exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.2(a), Section 14.5 (a)-(d) will apply, provided that, Neurocrine shall reimburse all reasonable internal (at a fully-burdened rate) and external costs incurred by MTPC to conduct such activities under Section 14.5(b)-(e), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14.5(b)-(e).

(b) In the case that MTPC will not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.2(a), this Agreement shall survive and remain in full force and effect except that MTPC may withhold any royalty payment obligations under Section 8.3 until such time as Neurocrine has cured such breach or implemented a plan to cure such breach, as the case may be.

14.7 Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety, except to the extent that a Party obtains or retains the right to use the other Party’s Confidential Information, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party, or delete or destroy, all relevant records and materials in such Party’s possession or control containing Confidential Information of the other Party; provided that such Party may keep one copy of such materials for archival purposes only subject to continuing confidentiality obligations.

15.			DISPUTE RESOLUTION

15.1 Objective. The Parties recognize that disputes as to matters (i) arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or (ii) either Party’s rights and 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.

15.2 Resolution by Executive Officers. Except as otherwise provided in Article 3, if an unresolved dispute as to matters arising under or relating to this Agreement or either Party’s rights and obligations hereunder arises, either Party may refer such dispute to the Executive Officers, 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 such officers 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.

(a) If the Parties do not resolve a dispute as provided in Section 15.2, and a Party wishes to pursue the matter, each such dispute that is not an Excluded Claim (defined below) shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ ICC ”) as then in effect (the “ ICC Rules ”), which ICC Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The arbitration award rendered in any such arbitration will be final and not appealable and may be executed by any court of competent jurisdiction. If either Party intends to commence binding arbitration of such dispute, such Party will provide written notice to the other Party informing the other Party of such intention and the issues to be resolved. Within […***…] after the receipt of such notice, the other Party may, by written notice to the Party initiating binding arbitration, add additional issues to be resolved.

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules, none of whom shall be a current or former employee or director, or a then-current stockholder, of either Party, their respective Affiliates or any Sublicensee. The place of arbitration shall be Honolulu, Hawaii, and all proceedings and communications shall be in English.

(c) It is the intention of the Parties that discovery, although permitted as described herein, will be limited except in exceptional circumstances. The arbitrators will permit such limited discovery necessary for an understanding of any legitimate issue raised in the arbitration, including the production of documents. No later than […***…] after selection of the arbitrators, the Parties and their representatives shall hold a preliminary meeting with the arbitrators, to mutually agree upon and thereafter follow procedures seeking to assure that the arbitration will be concluded within […***…] from such meeting. Failing any such mutual agreement, the arbitrators will design and the Parties shall follow procedures to such effect.

(d) Either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the arbitration award. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or any other non-compensatory damages, except as may be permitted by Section 12.5. The arbitrators shall have the power to order that all or part of the legal or other costs incurred by a Party in connection with the arbitration be paid by the other Party. Each Party shall bear an equal share of the arbitrators’ and any administrative fees of arbitration.

(e) Except to the extent necessary to confirm or enforce an award or as may be required by Applicable Law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. In no event shall an arbitration be initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the dispute, controversy or claim would be barred by the applicable New York statute of limitations.

(f) As used in this Section, the term “Excluded Claim” means a dispute, controversy or claim that concerns (i) the validity, enforceability or infringement of a patent, trademark or copyright or (ii) any antitrust, anti-monopoly or competition law or regulation, whether or not statutory.

16.2 Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement, together with the Letter Agreement and Supply Agreement, is both a final expression of the Parties’ agreement and a complete and exclusive statement with respect to all of its terms. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and communications, whether oral, written or otherwise, concerning any and all matters contained herein. This Agreement may only be modified or supplemented in a writing expressly stated for such purpose and signed by the Parties to this Agreement.

16.3 Relationship Between the Parties. The Parties’ relationship, as established by this Agreement, is solely that of independent contractors.

Neither Party is a legal representative of the other Party, and neither Party can assume or create any obligation, representation, warranty or guarantee, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever.

16.4 Non-Waiver. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right arising out of this Agreement shall neither impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part, in that instance or in any other instance. Any waiver by a Party of a particular provision or right shall be in writing, shall be as to a particular matter and, if applicable, for a particular period of time and shall be signed by such Party.

16.5 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 either Party may assign or otherwise transfer 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 or assets of such Party relating to Products to a Third Party, whether by merger, consolidation, divesture, restructure, sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise, provided that in the event of any such transaction (whether this Agreement is actually assigned or is assumed by the acquiring Party by operation of law ( e.g. , in the context of a reverse triangular merger)), intellectual property rights of the acquiring Party to such transaction (if other than one of the Parties to this Agreement) shall not be included in the technology licensed hereunder; or

Any assignment not in accordance with this Section 16.5 shall be null and void.

16.6 Severability. If, for any reason, any part of this Agreement is adjudicated invalid, unenforceable or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, such adjudication shall not, to the extent feasible, affect or impair, in whole or in part, the validity, enforceability, or legality of any remaining portions of this Agreement. All remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect as if the original Agreement had been executed without the invalidated, unenforceable or illegal part.
