“6A. In consideration of the Opt-In Payment, within thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter during the Term starting with the third Calendar Quarter of 2021 and continuing until the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Pyxis Territory, Pyxis shall transfer to LCB an electronic copy of (a) pre-clinical, non-clinical and clinical data (including any material reports containing such data and, upon request, raw data) included in the Pyxis IP, and (b) the following regulatory documentation in Pyxis’s possession and control relating to the Licensed Products: (i) regulatory applications (including all INDs), registrations, licenses, authorizations and approvals, (ii) correspondence and reports submitted to or received from regulatory authorities (including minutes and official contact reports relating to any communications with any regulatory authority) and supporting documents with respect thereto, including adverse event files and complaint files; and (iii) any drug master file, in each case of (a) and (b) that are material, reasonably required or useful for LCB’s Exploitation of Licensed Product in the LCB Territory, and have not been previously transferred to LCB. All data and regulatory documentation referred herein are collectively the “Developed Regulatory Documentation.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pyxis’s transfer obligations under this Section shall be limited to Developed Regulatory Documentation that Pyxis has the right to disclose to LCB without violating the terms of any then-existing agreement with any Third Party. LCB, its Affiliates and its sublicenses of the license set forth in Section 2.2 of the License shall have the non-transferable right of reference and right to use any and all Developed Regulatory Documentation in order to (i) perform its obligations under the License, and (ii) Exploit the Licensed Compound and Licensed Product in the LCB Territory, in each case to the extent consistent with the scope of the license set forth in Section 2.2 of the License and subject to the other terms and conditions of the License. For clarity, neither LCB nor its Affiliates or sublicensees shall have any license or right to reference or use the Developed Regulatory Documentation in connection with the Exploitation of any ROFN Eligible Product. The Parties agree that the Developed Regulatory Documentation shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of Pyxis and Article 7 of the License shall apply thereto.”
