(c)the right to grant sublicenses under the License, with the right to grant further sublicenses; provided, however, that such Sublicensee(s) agree to be subject to efforts standards no less stringent than those applicable to Spectrum under this Agreement for the corresponding territory and obligation.
1.2Non-Compete. During the Term, (a) Xxxxx agrees, on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, not to: (i) conduct, participate in or sponsor, directly or indirectly, the commercialization of a Competing Product (collectively, such activities “Competing Activities”) in the Spectrum Territory or (ii) appoint, license or otherwise authorize any Third Party, whether pursuant to such license, appointment, or authorization or otherwise to perform any Competing Activities and (b) Spectrum agrees, on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, not to conduct, participate in or sponsor, the commercialization of any Competing Products in the Spectrum Territory unless (i) Hanmi fails to meet its supply obligations under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement, (ii) there are regulatory impediments for Product approval or maintenance in the Major Markets, or (iii) there are safety issues with the Product or the Compound. The Parties agree that, upon a change of control of Spectrum, the covenants set forth in clause 2.2(b) above shall automatically terminate.

agreement within [***] from the end of the Exercise Period, Hanmi shall again be subject to Spectrum’s right of
first negotiation and refusal with respect to such Out-license set forth in this Section 2.3. Spectrum’s right to receive notices, first negotiate and refusal set forth in this Section 2.3 shall survive for a period of the Royalty Term. For avoidance of doubt, Xxxxx’s rights to commercialize a Developed Competing Product in the Spectrum Territory are always subject to the Section 2.2 during the Term.

Except as may be provided in Section 3.1(d) below, Spectrum shall have the right to determine and finalize, in its sole discretion, the protocols for such non-clinical studies and clinical trials to be conducted by Spectrum (itself or through one or more of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) in the Spectrum Territory; and Hanmi shall have the right to determine and finalize, in its sole discretion, the protocols for such non-clinical studies and clinical trials to be conducted by Xxxxx (itself or through one or more of its Affiliates) in the Hanmi Territory. The Parties acknowledge the protocols as provided may need to change as a result of exigent or other circumstances (e.g., patient safety matters) and in such case, each Party shall have the right to make such changes without having to provide them beforehand to the other Party for its review and comment hereunder; provided, such changes shall be provided to the other Party as soon as practicable and no later than thirty (30) days prior to such changes being implemented.
(d)Excepted Development Matters. If either Party in good faith believes any development activities, as proposed by the other Party and not set forth in Exhibit 3.1(d), would have a likelihood of having a material adverse effect on a Regulatory Filing or the procurement or maintenance of a Marketing Approval of, or on the label or safety of, a Product in clinical development or then being commercialized in such Party’s respective Territory (“Excepted Development Matters”), based on regulatory and scientific evidence typically relied upon by the pharmaceutical industry, then such Party shall notify the other Party of its concerns with respect to such activity within fifteen (15) Business Days of the submission of the draft protocol for such activity and provide documentation of the basis for its concerns. The proposing Party shall, in good faith, consider the documentation and positions of the objecting Party (and, if needed, consult with the objecting Party) to determine whether such activity should be conducted and/or whether the protocol for such activity should be modified to address such concerns. If the proposing Party does not agree with the objecting Party with respect to such Excepted Development Matter, then neither Party shall have any final decision making authority with respect to such activity, and such matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11.4.
(e)Development Data and Regulatory Filings. Each Party shall, through the JDC, keep the other Party appropriately and routinely informed regarding progress with respect to the development of the Products for use in the Field in such Party’s respective Territory. Each Party shall own, and shall provide the other Party full access to, and sufficient rights to reference and use in its Regulatory Filings for the Products for use in the Field in its respective Territory, without additional charge, all results, data and other information generated from its conduct of activities with respect to the development of the Products, including clinical, non-clinical and CMC reports and regulatory correspondence.

(a)Obligations. Hanmi shall supply to Spectrum the Products, as set forth hereunder and in the Supply Agreement, for development and commercialization in the Field in the Spectrum Territory; provided, that the actual quantities of the commercial supply of the Products by Hanmi and purchase by Spectrum shall be set forth in the Supply Agreement. Spectrum may at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion, choose to manufacture the Compound and/or Product itself or
11.
have such by a Third Party manufacturer, subject to the following. Spectrum shall notify Hanmi and coordinate with Hanmi in good faith in advance of engaging any Third Party manufacturer. If Spectrum elects to manufacture itself, or have manufactured the Compound and/or the Product by a Third Party manufacturer of its choice, Spectrum shall nevertheless continue to satisfy minimum purchase obligation set forth in the Supply Agreement and Hanmi shall perform a technical transfer to Spectrum or such Third Party manufacturer. The expense for such technical transfer shall be allocated as mutually agreed by the Parties and as set forth in the Supply Agreement. Further detail relating to the supply of (i) clinical trial Product is set forth in Section 3.4(b), and (ii) commercial Product is set forth in Section 3.4(c).
(b)Clinical Supply.
(i)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Hanmi shall supply, as ordered by Spectrum, a reasonable number of units of the Products, which is anticipated to be [***] in the aggregate to Spectrum for use in development activities (including clinical trials) related to the Products in the Field.
(ii)The parties shall agree on the timeframe for delivery of the Products under Section 3.4(b)(i), which shall take into consideration the Parties obtaining and complying with all relevant regulatory approvals and requirements, including cGMPs, for the Products to be delivered, Hanmi’s production capacities and supply capabilities and Spectrum’s requirement of the Product to conduct development activities (including clinical trials). Spectrum will order the Products in accordance with the mutually agreed time frame for delivery and Xxxxx agrees that time is of the essence with respect to the delivery dates set forth in Spectrum’s purchase orders.
(iii)Hanmi will ship the Products using such carriers as Spectrum may designate in the purchase orders or otherwise in writing to Hanmi. The Products supplied hereunder will be suitably packed for shipment and labeled for shipment to the address specified in Spectrum’s order. All shipments shall be FCA place of shipment (Incoterms 2010), at which point, all title to, and risk of loss of, the Product shall pass to Spectrum or its designee. All freight, insurance, and other shipping expenses from the F.C.A. point shall be paid by Spectrum.
(iv)Products supplied by Hanmi under Section 3.4(b) of this Agreement shall conform to the Product Specifications, the Quality Agreement and cGMPs. Hanmi shall ship the Products to Spectrum not more than [***] from the date of their production by Xxxxx unless otherwise agreed by the Parties; provided that, Spectrum shall issue a Purchase Order [***] before the Delivery Date as set forth in the Supply Agreement. Prior to shipment of the Products to Spectrum, Hanmi shall inspect and perform testing of the Products in accordance with the Quality Agreement and
industry standards in order to confirm that the Products conform to the Product Specifications in all respects. Concurrently with each shipment of the Products, Hanmi shall provide Spectrum a Certificate of Analysis and Certificate of Compliance for each lot of the Product included in such shipment. Without limiting the foregoing, Hanmi will ensure that the Products are manufactured, stored, and transported in accordance with Applicable Laws including the cGMPs.
(v)Within [***] of the receipt by Spectrum of the Products at its facility (the “Inspection Period”), Spectrum shall have the right to perform testing and analysis, on a sample basis, in accordance with the Quality Agreement to determine whether the Products conform to the Product Specifications. If Spectrum determines that the delivered Products do not conform to the Product Specifications, Spectrum shall notify Hanmi thereof in writing along with a detailed report and data regarding the alleged non-conformity (a “Non-Conformity Report”) within the Inspection Period. Within [***] of receiving such Non-Conformity Report, Xxxxx shall notify Spectrum in writing whether it agrees or disagrees with such Non-Conformity Report. In the event Xxxxx agrees to the Non-Conformity Report, Spectrum shall return only the non-conforming Products to Xxxxx at Xxxxx’s expense within [***] following receipt of Xxxxx’s written notice confirming that it agrees to the Non-Conformity Report and the required documents to customs for the return of the Product. Upon receipt of such non-conforming Products, Hanmi shall replace such nonconforming Products with conforming Products as soon as commercially possible at Hanmi’s expense. For the avoidance of doubt, if Spectrum fails to inform Xxxxx within the Inspection Period, Spectrum shall be deemed to have accepted the
12.
delivered Products as being conforming to the Product Specifications (including cGMPs). In the case of latent defects, which shall mean a defect in the Product caused solely as a result of defective manufacturing of the Product by Xxxxx and which defect could not have been discovered during the Inspection Period through Commercially Reasonable Efforts (a “Latent Defect”), if Spectrum becomes aware of a latent defect in the Products after the-Inspection Period has ended, Spectrum shall promptly notify Xxxxx in writing along with a detailed report and data regarding the alleged latent defect (a “Latent Defect Report”) within [***] from the date the Inspection Period ended (the “Latent Defect Inspection Period”). Within [***] of receiving such Latent Defect Report, Xxxxx shall notify Spectrum in writing whether it agrees or disagrees with such Latent Defect Report. In the event Xxxxx agrees to the Latent Defect Report, Xxxxx shall replace the defective Products with Products that do not contain the latent defect at Hanmi’s expense as soon as commercially possible. For the avoidance of doubt, if Spectrum fails to notify Xxxxx about the Latent Defect within the Latent Defect Inspection Period, the Products delivered shall be deemed to be free of latent defects and accepted by Spectrum as being conforming to the Product Specifications. Inspection or acceptance of the Products shall not constitute a waiver of any rights Spectrum may have based on Hanmi’s warranties with the exception of Section 7.2(j). If the Parties disagree as to whether the delivered Products conform to the Product Specifications or not or contain a latent defect, the Parties shall refer such dispute to an independent laboratory mutually accepted to both Parties, which analysis shall be binding on the Parties solely for determining whether the Products conform to the Product Specifications or not or contain a latent defect. If such testing confirms that the Products do not conform to the Product Specifications, Hanmi shall bear the cost of the testing as well as the cost for replacing the nonconforming Products whereas if the testing determines that the Products conform to the Product Specifications, Spectrum shall bear the cost of testing.
(vi)In the event of any shortage or delay in supply of Products to Spectrum by Hanmi, the supply of Products to Spectrum shall be apportioned between Spectrum and Hanmi (including any other licensees) on a pro-rata basis according to the needs of the then-active clinical trials requiring supplies of the Products.

This inspection right includes the right to audit (a) the manufacturing facilities, (b) to inspect quality control procedures, and (c) to audit any records and reports pertinent to the manufacturing, disposition, or transport of the Products to confirm compliance with all Applicable Laws for the supply of each Product, including with applicable cGMPs.
(ix)Hanmi shall obtain and maintain such FDA and other Regulatory Authority approvals of facility and processes as may be required to manufacture the Products in Hanmi’s manufacturing facilities for supply of the Products to Spectrum. Hanmi shall prepare and submit to Spectrum all reports concerning manufacture of the Products that are reasonably necessary to support Marketing Approvals of the Products in the Spectrum Territory.
(x)If a facility that manufactures the Products is inspected by representatives of any Regulatory Authority in connection with manufacture of the Products, Hanmi shall notify Spectrum promptly (by telephone and in writing) upon learning of such inspection, and shall supply Spectrum with copies of any related correspondence or other documentation, or portions thereof, in the possession of Hanmi relating to the Products. Spectrum may send representatives to such facilities and participate fully in any portion of such inspection. Hanmi shall inform Spectrum of the result of any regulatory inspection, which affects the production of a Product, including providing a copy of any notice
13.
of inspection, notice of violation or other similar notice or report received by Hanmi affecting production, facility, testing, storage or handling of the Product(s).In the event that there are inspectional observations directly relating to the Product(s) (FDA Form 483 and/or other applicable form), Spectrum shall be informed immediately and receive a copy of the inspectional observations and shall have the opportunity to review and provide Xxxxx with comments to Xxxxx’s response.

Spectrum shall have the right to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Hanmi to audit such records to confirm COG and purchase price for the Products for a period covering not more than three (3) years following the calendar year to which they pertain. Such audits may be exercised during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Xxxxx. Prompt adjustments shall be made by the Parties to reflect the results of such audit. Spectrum shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an overpayment by Spectrum of more than five percent (5%) of the amount of price due under this Agreement, in which case, Hanmi shall bear the reasonable cost of such audit and shall promptly remit to Spectrum the amount of any overpayment. Any overpayment by Spectrum revealed by an audit shall be
fully-creditable against future payment owed by Spectrum to Hanmi (and if no further payments are due, shall be refunded by Xxxxx at the request of Spectrum.

The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The award rendered thereon by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties thereto, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party reasonable attorney’s fees, expenses, and costs. In no event will the arbitrator have any right or power to award punitive or exemplary damages.

This Agreement, and the Exhibits hereto, sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement, or statement, written or oral, with respect to the same.

1.7Modification. This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto, shall not be modified except by a writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
1.8Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then such term, provision, covenant or condition shall be deemed to be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of this
