Each Committee’s decision-making authority shall be limited to those matters expressly delegated to it in this Agreement. If, after reasonable discussion and good faith consideration of each Party’s view on a particular matter before a Committee, the representatives of the Parties cannot reach an agreement as to such matter within [***] after such matter was brought to such Committee for resolution (each, a “Committee Dispute”), such disagreement shall be escalated to the Executive Officers for resolution within [***], who shall confer in good faith on the resolution of the issue. Any final decision mutually agreed to by such Executive Officers shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties.
(b)Final Decisions. If the Executive Officers are not able to agree on the resolution of any such Committee Dispute within [***] after such issue was first referred to them, then the following shall apply:
(i)Jazz shall have final decision-making authority for all matters relating to the Commercialization of Licensed Products in the Licensed Indication in the Jazz Territory;
(ii)Jazz shall have final decision-making authority for all matters relating to its, its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ conduct of preclinical and research development activities in the Jazz Territory and/or the PharmaMar Territory;
26
(iii)Jazz shall have final decision-making authority for all matters relating to the Development of Licensed API or Licensed Product conducted in the Jazz Territory, including the conduct of the Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies and the applicable Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Development Plan and Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget and any amendments thereto (as long as such activities and such plan are consistent with and do not exceed Health Canada requirements) (except for the conduct of the Atlantis Trial, PharmaMar Additional Indication Clinical Trials, Additional Indication Pivotal Trials, Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trials and preclinical and research development activities conducted by PharmaMar, its Affiliates and Third Party Partners), and for all matters relating to the conduct of Jazz Additional Indication Clinical Trials in the PharmaMar Territory provided that PharmaMar shall have final decision making authority with respect to whether to permit or not the conduct of a Jazz Additional Indication Clinical Trial outside [***] in PharmaMar Territory;
(iv)To the extent Jazz performs any SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies pursuant to Section 4.1(b), Jazz shall have final decision-making authority for all matters relating to the conduct of such SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies in the Jazz Territory and the PharmaMar Territory, including with respect to the applicable SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Plan and SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget and any amendments thereto (as long as such activities and such plan are consistent with and do not exceed FDA or Health Canada requirements, as applicable);

27
provided, that, if a Party reasonably believes, based on regulatory and scientific evidence typically relied upon by the pharmaceutical industry, that any Development activity proposed by the other Party (whether or not such proposed activity is subject to the JDC’s final decision making authority) would [***] (an “Adverse Safety Impact”), such Party shall have the right to either (A) prevent the other Party from exercising its final decision-making authority set forth in Section 3.4(b)(ii), Section 3.4(b)(iv), Section 3.4(b)(vi) or Section 3.4(b)(vii), as applicable, to approve the conduct of any such Development activity or (B) impose additional conditions on the conduct of such Development activity that are [***], which right shall not be subject to further review or approval by the JDC. In the event any Party disputes the other Party´s determination of any Development activity having potentially an Adverse Safety Impact, the Parties shall submit the proposed Development activity to an independent Third Party or committee (such as an investigator review board in the case of an Adverse Safety Impact relating to [***]) to be appointed by both Parties jointly for determination of the existence or not of a potential Adverse Safety Impact. Determination by such independent Third Party shall be binding to the Parties.
Nothing in this Section 3.4(b) shall relieve a Party who has or exercises any ‘final decision-making authority’ set forth herein of any contractual obligation to the other Party, including, without limitation any obligation to exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts.
(c)Neither Party Final Decisions. Neither Party shall have final decision-making authority for any matter relating to the conduct of a Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial, including any Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Development Plan or Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Budget for such Clinical Trial and any such decisions shall require the mutual consent of the Parties. In the absence of mutual agreement of the Parties with respect to any such matter, the status quo in the then-current Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Development Plan or Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Budget shall prevail.
(d)Development and Commercialization Meetings. During the Term, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise, the Parties will have meetings at least once each Calendar Year, to discuss any other issue the Parties may consider regarding Development and Commercialization of the Licensed Products in each Party’s Territory, including sharing information regarding Jazz´s Annual Commercialization Plan and information regarding commercialization and marketing strategies of each Party in its Territory. Such meetings may be conducted in person at times and places to be determined by the Parties. Alternatively, the Parties may meet by means of teleconference, videoconference or other similar communications equipment. Each Party shall bear its own expenses of participating in meetings.
3.5Working Groups. From time to time, the JDC or the JCC may establish and delegate duties to other committees, sub-committees or directed teams (each, a “Working Group”) on an “as-needed” basis to discuss best practices, oversee particular projects or activities, such as regulatory or clinical activities, which delegation shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the JDC. Each such Working Group shall be constituted and shall operate as the JDC or JCC, as applicable, determines and shall report to the JDC or JCC, as applicable. Each Working Group and its activities shall be subject to the oversight, review and
28
approval of the JDC or JCC, as applicable. In no event shall the authority of the Working Group exceed that specified for the JDC in Section 3.1(a) or the JCC in Section 3.2(a), as applicable.

Either Party may replace its respective Alliance Managers at any time with prior written notice to the other Party.
4.Development
4.1PharmaMar Responsibility. Without limiting the generality of Section 4.4, PharmaMar shall have the obligations set forth in this Section 4.1.
(a)Atlantis Trial.
(i)Responsibility. PharmaMar shall have the sole responsibility for, and shall conduct and complete, the Atlantis Trial at its sole expense in accordance with the current referenced protocols and development plans attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Atlantis Development Plan”).
(ii)Material Changes; Suspension or Termination. PharmaMar shall promptly propose to the JDC any material changes it wishes to make to the Atlantis Development Plan, and after discussion and approval by the JDC, such plan shall be amended to address them unless Jazz believes in good faith that such amendment is likely to have an Adverse Safety Impact, in which case the terms of the proviso in Section 3.4(b) shall apply. PharmaMar may suspend or terminate the Atlantis Trial after discussion at the JDC, but without obtaining approval from the JDC, if there is [***] (a “Safety Reason”) or such suspension or termination is required by a Regulatory Authority or investigational review board. If Jazz disputes the existence of a Safety Reason, the Parties shall submit the dispute to an independent Third Party or committee (such as an investigator review board) to be appointed by both Parties jointly for determination of the existence or not of such Safety Reason. Determination by such independent Third Party shall be binding to the Parties.
(b)SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies.
(i)U.S. SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies. PharmaMar shall be solely responsible for conducting, on Jazz’s behalf and at PharmaMar’s sole expense, any post-approval commitment studies that are required by the FDA with respect to any Regulatory Approval by the FDA of a Licensed Product for the SCLC Initial Indication in the Jazz U.S. Territory, including any drug-drug interaction studies or hepatic impairment studies
29
required by the FDA (collectively, “U.S. SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies”) in accordance with a development plan which shall include a clinical trial design, protocol and timing that satisfies the FDA’s requirements to be reviewed, discussed and approved by the JDC. Upon approval by the JDC, such plan shall be deemed the “U.S. SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Development Plan”. JDC approval shall not be required with regard to design, protocol and timeline of those U.S. SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies whose protocol has been submitted to FDA prior to the Effective Date. The JDC shall incorporate into such protocols any comments of Jazz to the extent such comments are consistent with FDA requirements. Jazz shall conduct and be responsible, at its expense, for regulatory communications with the FDA regarding the U.S. SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies once Regulatory Approval by the FDA for Licensed Product in the SCLC Initial Indication has been transferred to Jazz pursuant to Section 5.
(ii)Mutual Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies. PharmaMar shall be solely responsible for conducting, at its sole expense, any post-approval commitment studies that are required by Health Canada with respect to any Regulatory Approval by Health Canada of a Licensed Product for the SCLC Initial Indication in the Jazz Canada Territory, including any drug-drug interaction studies or hepatic impairment studies required by Health Canada, in each case, to the extent each such study is the same as those U.S. SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies required by the FDA or any other such post-approval commitment studies which have already been required by applicable Regulatory Authorities of the [***], if the Licensed Product is already approved in such territory(ies) at the time Health Canada requires such post-approval commitment studies (collectively, “Mutual Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies”) in accordance with a development plan which shall include a clinical trial design, protocol and timing that satisfies the Health Canada’s requirements to be reviewed, discussed and approved by the JDC. Upon approval by the JDC, such plan shall be deemed the “Mutual Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Development Plan”. PharmaMar shall promptly notify Jazz if any post-approval commitment study required by Health Canada with respect to any Regulatory Approval by Health Canada of a Licensed Product for the SCLC Initial Indication in the Jazz Canada Territory is not the same as those SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies required by the FDA or any other such post-approval commitment studies required by applicable Regulatory Authorities of the [***], if the Licensed Product is approved in such territory(ies) at the time Health Canada requires such post-approval commitment studies. Jazz shall conduct and be responsible, at its expense, for regulatory communications with Health Canada regarding the Mutual Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies.
(iii)Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies. Jazz shall be solely responsible for conducting, at its sole expense, any post-approval commitment studies that are required by Health Canada with respect to any Regulatory Approval by Health Canada of a Licensed Product for the SCLC Initial Indication in the Jazz Canada Territory that is not a Mutual Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Study (collectively, “Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies”). Jazz shall conduct and be responsible, at its expense, for regulatory communications with Health Canada regarding the Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies. In such event, Jazz shall prepare a proposed development
30
plan and a proposed budget for such Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies, including the number of FTEs to conduct such activities (each such development plan, a “Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Development Plan” and each such budget, a “Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget”), which shall each be reviewed, discussed and approved by the JDC. Development Costs incurred by Jazz from the performance of the Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies shall be creditable up to [***] of the Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget for any such Study solely against those Regulatory Milestone Payment, Sale Milestone Payments and royalty payments referred to Jazz Canada Territory thereafter due and payable pursuant to Section 8.4, Section 8.6 and Section 8.7, as applicable, as set forth in Section 8.3(b). Any amendment to Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Development Plan or to Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget shall be reviewed, discussed and approved by the JDC, with such approval by PharmaMar’s members of the JDC not to be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that an example of unreasonably withholding approval would be to not approve an amendment to the Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget if Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Development Plan is amended by JDC in a manner that implies a change, from the assumptions or the protocol which were taken into account at the time the initial Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget was approved, for the purposes of fulfilling any Health Canada requirement with regard to such Jazz Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies).
(iv)Jazz Performance of U.S. SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies or Mutual Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies. If PharmaMar is not [***], then Jazz shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to PharmaMar, to conduct such SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies itself at PharmaMar’s expense. In such event, Jazz shall prepare a proposed SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Development Plan and a proposed budget for such U.S. SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies or Mutual Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies, as applicable, including the number of FTEs to conduct such activities (each, an “SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget”), which shall be reviewed, discussed and approved by the JDC. In such event, PharmaMar shall reimburse Jazz for one hundred percent (100%) of the Development Costs incurred in accordance with and up to [***] of the SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget for any such study, as set forth in Section 8.3. Any amendment to SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget shall be reviewed, discussed and approved by the JDC, with such approval by PharmaMar’s members of the JDC not to be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that an example of unreasonably withholding approval would be to not approve an amendment to the SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget if the SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Development Plan is amended by JDC in a manner that implies a change, from the assumptions or the protocol which were taken into account at the time the initial SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies Budget was approved, for the purposes of fulfilling any FDA requirement with regard to such SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies).
(v)For clarity, notwithstanding Section 4.1(b)(ii) or Section 4.1(b)(iii), Mutual Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies and Jazz Canada SCLC
31
Post-Approval Commitment Studies each exclude (A) any studies solely required to obtain Pricing Approval by Health Canada and (B) any Medical Affairs Studies, each of which may be performed by Jazz at its sole discretion and expense.
(c)No Additional Obligations. Except as set forth in this Section 4.1 with respect to the Atlantis Trial, the U.S. SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies and the Mutual Canada SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies, PharmaMar shall have no further obligation to conduct any pre-clinical or clinical Development activities with respect to any Licensed Products.
4.2Additional Indication Pivotal Trial.
(a)Proposed Additional Indication Pivotal Trial. If PharmaMar wishes to conduct a Pivotal Trial for an Additional Indication that (i) is initiated [***] and (ii) such Pivotal Trial is sufficient to support the filing of an NDA with the FDA, as evidenced by an agreement with or statement from the FDA on a Special Protocol Assessment procedure or equivalent, or other guidance or minutes issued by the FDA (each, a “Proposed Additional Indication Pivotal Trial”), then PharmaMar shall present to Jazz’s representatives at the JDC the proposed design of such Proposed Additional Indication Pivotal Trial, including the proposed protocol and budget for such study. The JDC shall discuss such Proposed Additional Indication Pivotal Trial at its next meeting, and PharmaMar shall provide, within [***] after such JDC meeting (or such longer period of time as agreed upon in writing by the Parties), any additional information reasonably requested by Jazz’s JDC representatives prior to or during such JDC meeting.
(b)Additional Indication Pivotal Trial. If by the [***] day after the JDC meeting at which a particular Proposed Additional Indication Pivotal Trial is discussed (or such longer period of time as agreed upon in writing by the Parties) under to Section 4.5(a), Jazz has not notified PharmaMar that it believes that such Proposed Additional Indication Pivotal Trial is likely to have an Adverse Safety Impact, then such Proposed Additional Indication Pivotal Trial will be deemed an “Additional Indication Pivotal Trial” and the JDC shall review and approve a protocol for such Additional Indication Pivotal Trial and such approved protocol and the proposed budget for such Additional Indication Pivotal Trial shall be deemed an “Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Development Plan” and an “Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Budget”, respectively.
(c)Pivotal Trial Costs. On an Additional Indication Pivotal Trial-by-Additional Indication Pivotal Trial basis, within [***] days of the JDC’s approval of the applicable Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Development Plan and Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Budget, Jazz shall have the right to elect to either:
(i)have Jazz and PharmaMar share [***] all costs incurred to conduct such Additional Indication Pivotal Trial in accordance with Section 8.2 (any such Additional Indication Pivotal Trial, a “Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial” and the Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Development Plan and Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Budget therefor, a “Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Development Plan” and “Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Budget”, respectively); or
32
(ii)have PharmaMar pay [***] of all costs incurred to conduct such Additional Indication Pivotal Trial, in which case Sections 5.3(c)(ii) and 8.5 shall apply.
(d)Material Changes; Suspension or Termination.
(i)Each Party shall promptly inform the JDC of any material changes it wishes to make to a Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial and Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Budget. All changes to any Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Development Plan or Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Budget and all suspensions or terminations of any Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial shall be by mutual agreement of the Parties’ representatives to the JDC.
(ii)PharmaMar shall promptly inform the JDC of any material changes it wishes to make to an Additional Indication Pivotal Trial that is not a Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial and the JDC shall review, discuss and approve any amendment to the Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Development Plan in accordance with Section 3.4. PharmaMar may suspend or terminate an Additional Indication Pivotal Trial that is not a Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial after discussion at the JDC, but without obtaining approval from the JDC, if there is a Safety Reason or such suspension or termination is required by a Regulatory Authority or investigational review board.
(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.2(d)(i), after transfer of Regulatory Approval and the associated Regulatory Filings to Jazz pursuant to Section 5.1, as the holder of the IND in the Jazz Territory, Jazz may require PharmaMar to suspend or terminate an Additional Indication Pivotal Trial in the Jazz Territory after discussion at the JDC, but without obtaining approval from the JDC, if there is a Safety Reason or such suspension or termination is required by a Regulatory Authority or investigational review board.
(iv)If any Party disputes the other Party´s alleged Safety Reason, the Parties shall submit the dispute to an independent Third Party or committee (such as an investigator review board) to be appointed by both Parties jointly for determination of the existence or not of such Safety Reason. Determination by such independent Third Party shall be binding to the Parties.
(e)PharmaMar Additional Indication Clinical Trial becomes a Pivotal Trial After Initiation. In the event any PharmaMar Additional Indication Clinical Trial becomes a Pivotal Trial after Initiation of such Clinical Trial, then such PharmaMar Additional Indication Clinical Trial shall thereafter be deemed an Additional Indication Pivotal Trial and PharmaMar shall provide prompt written notice thereof to Jazz. Such written notice shall include a copy of the protocol for such Clinical Trial. Within [***] days of such notification, PharmaMar shall provide to Jazz a complete accounting of all Pivotal Trial Costs (as such term is modified mutatis mutandis to apply to such Clinical Trial) incurred to date and a proposed plan and budget for all additional activities and anticipated costs for conducting the remainder, if any, of such Clinical Trial for review and approval by the JDC (such plan after such approval be deemed an Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Development Plan and such accounting, together with the proposed budget, shall after such approval be deemed an Additional Indication Pivotal
33
Trial Development Budget). Notwithstanding the timing set forth in Section 4.2(c), within [***] days of the JDC’s approval of the Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Development Budget for any such Additional Indication Pivotal Trial pursuant to this Section 4.2(e), Jazz shall have the right to elect to either:
(i)[***] all Pivotal Trial Costs incurred to conduct such Additional Indication Pivotal Trial in accordance with Section 8.2 as set forth in Section 4.2(c)(i), in which case (1) PharmaMar shall include in the next Reconciliation Report pursuant to Section 8.2 [***] of all Pivotal Trial Costs incurred in connection with such Additional Indication Pivotal Trial as of such election, (2) such Additional Indication Pivotal Trial shall be deemed to be a Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial, (3) such Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Plan shall be deemed to be a Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Trial Plan and (4) such Additional Indication Pivotal Budget shall be deemed to be a Joint Additional Indication Pivotal Budget; or
(ii)have PharmaMar pay [***] of all costs incurred to conduct such Additional Indication Pivotal Trial as set forth in Section 4.2(c)(ii).
4.3Other Development Rights.
(a)Except with respect to the Atlantis Trial, the SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies and the Additional Indication Pivotal Trials addressed under Sections 4.1 and 4.2, each Party shall be entitled to conduct in its Territory any research and pre-clinical, clinical or other Development activities, including, without limitation, the conduct of Clinical Trials and Pivotal Trials with respect to Licensed API or Licensed Product for the purposes of obtaining or expanding Regulatory Approval of Licensed Product in its Territory at its sole responsibility and cost and without any prior approval by the JDC, but (i) with prior discussion by the JDC with respect to any Jazz Additional Indication Clinical Trial and PharmaMar Additional Indication Clinical Trial and (ii) with the JDC being informed of any other Clinical Trials.
(b)In addition, each Party shall be entitled to conduct any research and preclinical development activities in the other Party´s Territory at its sole discretion and expense and shall keep the other Party, through the JDC, regularly informed about such development activities provided however that no prior approval of those activities by the JDC would be required for its conduct.
(c)Jazz shall be entitled to conduct Clinical Trials (other than Medical Affairs Clinical Trials) in Additional Indications other than Additional Indication Pivotal Trials [***] (“Jazz Additional Indication Clinical Trials”), provided that prior to initiation of any Jazz Additional Indication Clinical Trials, Jazz will inform the JDC about such intended Jazz Additional Indication Clinical Trials for review and discussion by the JDC provided that, except as set forth in Section 3.4(b), Jazz shall have final decision making about Jazz Additional Indications Clinical Trials in [***]. Except as provided herein for research and preclinical Development activities in the PharmaMar Territory and for Jazz Additional Indication Clinical Trials [***], Jazz shall have no other right to conduct Development activities in the PharmaMar Territory. PharmaMar shall ensure that any Third Party Partner agreement entered into after the

Jazz shall provide PharmaMar reasonable opportunity to review and comment on material issues regarding such Jazz Prosecuted Patents in the PharmaMar Territory, including providing PharmaMar with copies of all relevant communications to or from any patent authority in the PharmaMar Territory regarding such Jazz Prosecuted Patents, and providing drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities reasonably in advance of the submission of such filings or responses for PharmaMar´s review and comments. Jazz shall [***] in connection with the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Jazz Patents in the PharmaMar Territory, provided however that Jazz shall have the sole and final decision making authority regarding Prosecution and Maintenance of Jazz Prosecuted Patents, with no obligation to PharmaMar whether to file, continue to prosecute, abandon and/or disclaim such Patent Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and with regard to any Jazz Generic Patent that is being exploited at any time by PharmaMar, its Affiliates or Third Party Partners in relation to the Licensed API or the Licensed Product, if Jazz determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not file or maintain such Jazz Generic Patent in the PharmaMar Territory, then Jazz shall provide PharmaMar with written notice of such determination sufficiently in advance (but no later than [***] days prior to the date any abandonment of such Jazz Prosecuted Patent would become effective or any date that would bar patentability) so that PharmaMar may, at its discretion, assume and control the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Jazz Generic Patent, at its own expense and in its own name and such
61
Jazz Generic Patent shall be then deemed to be a PharmaMar Patent for the purposes of this Agreement. If Jazz determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not maintain a Joint Specific Combination Invention in the Jazz Territory or the PharmaMar Territory, then Jazz shall provide PharmaMar with written notice of such determination sufficiently in advance so that PharmaMar may, at its discretion, assume and control the Prosecution and Maintenance of such Joint Specific Combination Patent at its sole expense or abandon such Joint Specific Combination Patent. In the event that PharmaMar elects to assume at its sole expense the Prosecution and Maintenance of a Joint Specific Combination Patent, Jazz shall assign and hereby assigns to PharmaMar its interest into such Joint Specific Combination Patent without further consideration and such Joint Specific Combination Patent shall be then deemed to be a PharmaMar Patent for the purposes of this Agreement. For clarity, any such assignment shall not include an assignment, transfer or license to PharmaMar, its Affiliates or Third Party Partners to any Patent Rights or other intellectual property rights owned by or licensed to Jazz or its Affiliates that claim, cover or relate to any Jazz Proprietary Component.
(d)Cooperation in Prosecution. Each Party shall provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation in the Patent Prosecution and Maintenance efforts provided above in this Section 10, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such Prosecution and Maintenance consistent with the provisions of this Section 10 above, as well as further actions as set forth below:
(i)The Parties shall respectively Prosecute and Maintain the PharmaMar Prosecuted Patents and Jazz Prosecuted Patents as set forth in this Section 10.2.
(ii)All communications between the Parties relating to the Prosecution or Maintenance of the PharmaMar Prosecuted Patents and Jazz Prosecuted Patents, including copies of any draft or final documents or any communications received from or sent to patent offices or patenting authorities with respect to such Patents, shall be considered Confidential Information of the owner of such Patent (and in case of Joint Patents, Confidential Information of both PharmaMar and Jazz) and subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 11.
10.3Patent Term Extensions in the Jazz Territory. The Parties shall coordinate and discuss which of the Patent Rights within the PharmaMar Patents or the Jazz Patents should be selected for patent term extensions (including any pediatric exclusivity extensions as may be available) or supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents in the Jazz Territory (collectively, “Patent Term Extensions”) with respect to any Licensed Product. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.2, Jazz shall have the right to apply for Patent Term Extensions with respect to any Licensed Product in the Jazz Territory and PharmaMar shall have final decision-making authority with respect to determining which Patent Right is selected for any such Patent Term Extensions in the Jazz Territory. Each Party will cooperate fully with the other in making such filings or actions, for example and without limitation, making available all required regulatory data and other Information and executing any required authorizations to apply for such Patent Term Extension, including PharmaMar appointing Jazz as its agent with respect to any Patent Term Extension of a PharmaMar Patent or
62
Joint Patent in the Jazz Territory. For clarity, the Parties agree that (i) the costs of obtaining a Patent Term Extension in the Jazz Territory (a) within a PharmaMar Patent (other than a Joint Patent) shall be borne by PharmaMar, (b) within a Jazz Patent (other than a Joint Patent) shall be borne by Jazz and (c) within the Joint Patents shall be shared equally by both Parties, and (ii) the costs of obtaining a Patent Term Extension in the PharmaMar Territory shall be borne by PharmaMar.
10.4Infringement of Patents by Third Parties.
(a)Notification. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing within [***] days (except as expressly set forth below) of becoming aware of any alleged existing or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any of the PharmaMar Patents (including Joint Patents) (“Infringement”), including (x) any such alleged existing or threatened Infringement on account of a Third Party’s manufacture, use or sale of Licensed API or Licensed Product, (y) any certification filed in the United States under 21 U.S.C. §355(b)(2) or 21 U.S.C. §355(j)(2) or similar provisions in other jurisdictions in connection with an ANDA (an Abbreviated New Drug Application in the United States or a comparable application for Regulatory Approval under Applicable Law in any country other than the United States) or other NDA for a Licensed Product (a “Patent Certification”), and (z) any declaratory judgment action filed by a Third Party alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any of the PharmaMar Patents (a “Declaratory Judgment”) ((x)-(z), collectively, “Competitive Infringement”); provided, however, that each Party shall notify the other Party of any Patent Certification regarding any PharmaMar Patent that it receives, and provide the other Party with a copy thereof, within [***] days of receipt. Each such notification shall include all evidence in such Party’s possession demonstrating such Competitive Infringement. No later than [***] days following receipt by one Party from the other of a notice of existing or threatened Competitive Infringement, the Parties shall consult with each other regarding any actions to be taken with respect to such Competitive Infringement.
(b)PharmaMar Patents.
(i)Jazz Territory. Jazz shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring (or defend) and control an appropriate suit or other legal action against any Third Party engaged in any Competitive Infringement of any PharmaMar Patents (including Joint Patents) in the Jazz Territory at Jazz’s own expense and by counsel of its own choice. If Jazz does not bring a suit or take other reasonable action (“Enforcement Action”) to xxxxx any Competitive Infringement of any PharmaMar Patent in the Jazz Territory, within [***] days of either Party providing a notice of existing or threatened Competitive Infringement under Section 10.4(a), then after consultation with Jazz regarding its rationale for electing not to bring an Enforcement Action and after reasonably considering such rationale, PharmaMar shall have the right, at its own expense, to commence or defend any such Enforcement Action.
(ii)PharmaMar Territory. PharmaMar shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring (or defend) and control any action or proceeding with respect to Competitive Infringement of a PharmaMar Patent (including Joint Patents) in the PharmaMar Territory, at PharmaMar’s own expense and by counsel of its own choice. If PharmaMar does
63
not bring an Enforcement Action to xxxxx any Competitive Infringement of any Joint Patent in the PharmaMar Territory or to xxxxx any Declaratory Judgment of a PharmaMar Patent (including Joint Patents) in the PharmaMar Territory, and solely if (A) any Third Party that is a Third Party Partner as of the Effective Date does not exercise any enforcement rights they may have in any country of PharmaMar Territory with respect to any PharmaMar Patent under the terms of the corresponding agreement between PharmaMar and such Third Party Partner (as such terms are in effect as of the Effective Date) within the timelines set forth in such agreement or (B) any Third Party that becomes a Third Party Partner after the Effective Date does not exercise any enforcement rights they may have in its specific licensed country(ies) within the PharmaMar Territory with respect to any PharmaMar Patent under the terms of the corresponding agreement between PharmaMar and such Third Party Partner within the timelines set forth in such agreement, in each case, within [***] days of either Party providing a notice of existing or threatened Competitive Infringement under Section 10.4(a) or within [***] days from PharmaMar notice that any Third Party Partner in any country of PharmaMar Territory has decided not to bring such an Enforcement Action, then after consultation with PharmaMar regarding its rationale for electing not to bring an Enforcement Action and after reasonably considering such rationale, Jazz shall have the right, at its own expense, to commence or defend any such Enforcement Action. To the extent not inconsistent with the terms of any Third Party Partner agreement existing as of the Effective Date, PharmaMar shall not allow any Third Party Partner to enforce any Joint Patent in the PharmaMar Territory or the Jazz Territory.
(iii)Cooperation. The Party commencing or defending any Enforcement Action pursuant to this Section 10.4 (the “Enforcing Party”) shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such Enforcement Action, and such other Party shall have the right to join, but not to control, such action with counsel of its own choice, at its own expense. In any event, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Enforcing Party, including providing information and materials, at the Enforcing Party’s request and expense. In the event that the Enforcing Party is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name or it is otherwise advisable in order to obtain an effective remedy, the other Party will join, but not control, at the Enforcing Party’s request and expense, such action and will execute all documents necessary for the Enforcing Party to initiate litigation and prosecute and maintain such action. In any case, neither Party shall enter into any settlement or compromise of any action under this Section 10.4 which 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.
(c)Recovery. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in connection with a cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery realized by a Party as a result of any action or proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.4, whether by way of settlement or otherwise, shall be shared in order as follows:
(i)The Enforcing Party shall recoup all of its costs and expenses incurred in connection with such action;
64
(ii)If the other Party joined such action at its own expense, then, to the extent possible, the other Party shall recover its costs and expenses incurred in connection with such action; and
(iii)The remainder, if any, shall be [***].
10.5Infringement of Third Party Rights in the Jazz Territory.
(a)Notice. If any Licensed Product manufactured, used or sold by either Party, its Affiliates, or their respective licensees becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent Right granted by a jurisdiction in either Party’s Territory, the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party. In the event that either Party notifies the other that it, or its Affiliates, or their respective licensees have become the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent Right granted in its Territory (any, a “Defensive Action”), the Parties shall agree on and enter into a “common interest agreement” wherein such Parties agree to their shared, mutual interest in the outcome of such potential dispute, and thereafter, the Parties shall promptly meet to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action; provided that in the event such Third Party also alleges the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any of the PharmaMar Patents (including Joint Patents), such allegation or claim shall be handled as a Competitive Infringement.
(b)Defense. The Party subject to such Defensive Action shall have the exclusive right to defend and control the defense of any such Defensive Action using counsel of its own choice, at its expense, provided that the provisions of Section 10.4 shall govern the right of such Party to assert a counterclaim of infringement of any PharmaMar Patent (including any Joint Patent). In the event that Jazz is the Party against whom such Defensive Action is brought, if the Third Party Patent Rights are used for the manufacture, use or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Jazz Territory, then Jazz will be entitled to withhold up to [***] of royalties otherwise payable with respect to Net Sales of such Licensed Product under Section 8.7(d) and use such withheld royalties to reimburse any and all the legal defense costs, attorneys’ fees and liability incurred in such Defensive Action for the period beginning from the date Jazz receives notice of such Defensive Action from the Third Party plaintiff until the date of final non appealable judgment by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction or binding settlement by Jazz of such Defensive Action has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jazz agrees to withhold only that portion of such royalties as may reasonably be necessary to reimburse amounts in accordance with this Section 10.5. If Jazz is required to pay a royalty or other amount for Third Party Patent Rights that are used for the manufacture, use or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Jazz Territory, such amounts may be offset as set forth in Section 8.7(d). The Party in any Defensive Action agrees (i) to keep the other Party reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such Defensive Action, (ii) to consult with the other Party regarding the strategy for such Defensive Action and (iii) to [***] input provided by the other Party with respect to the strategy for such Defensive Action.
65
(c)Each Party shall not settle any Defensive Action that includes any statement that may be used as an admission of invalidity or unenforceability of the PharmaMar Technology or of the Jazz Technology without prior consent of the other Party.
10.6Patent Oppositions and Other Proceedings.
(a)Third-Party Patent Rights. If either Party desires to initiate an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, declaration for non-infringement, reexamination or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability of a Patent Right owned or controlled by a Third Party and having one or more claims that covers the Licensed API or the Licensed Product, or the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of the Licensed API or the Licensed Product (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, a Third Party’s claim or assertion of a Competitive Infringement, in which case the provisions of Section 10.4 shall govern), such Party shall so notify the other Party and the Parties shall promptly confer to determine whether to bring such action or the manner in which to settle such action. If the Parties do not agree otherwise, as between the Parties, (i) PharmaMar shall have the sole right to control such actions at its expense with regard to PharmaMar Prosecuted Patents and (ii) Jazz shall have the sole right to control such actions at its expense with regard to Jazz Prosecuted Patents, and the Party so controlling such action shall keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect thereto.
(b)Parties’ Patent Rights. If a PharmaMar Prosecuted Patent in the Jazz Territory, or a Joint Generic Patent anywhere in the world, becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party in connection with an opposition, reexamination request, nullity action, interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof (except insofar as such action is brought by the Third Party in an action for Competitive Infringement, in which case the provisions of Section 10.4 shall govern), then PharmaMar shall control such defense at its own cost. If a Jazz Generic Patent in the Jazz Territory, or a Joint Specific Combination Patent anywhere in the world becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party in connection with an opposition, reexamination request, nullity action, interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof (except insofar as such action is brought by the Third Party in an action for Competitive Infringement, in which case the provisions of Section 10.4 shall govern), then Jazz shall control such defense, at its own cost. The controlling Party shall permit the non-controlling Party to participate in the proceeding to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, and to be represented by its own counsel in such proceeding, at the non-controlling Party’s expense. If either Party decides that it does not wish to defend against such action, then the other Party shall have the backup right to assume defense of such Third Party action at its own expense.
10.7Jazz Third Party Agreements. Jazz shall require (and shall cause its Affiliates to require) that any Third Party working in collaboration hereunder is bound by a written agreement containing provisions relating to ownership of Inventions consistent with the terms of Section 10.1 and obligating such Third Party to assign to Jazz (or such Affiliate) all right, title and interest in and to such Inventions developed by such Third Party as a result of any activities relating to Licensed API or Licensed Product to the extent required for Jazz to comply with the
66
terms of Section 10.1. Upon PharmaMar´s written request, Jazz shall provide to PharmaMar with a copy of any written agreements entered into by Jazz (or its Affiliates) within [***] days from PharmaMar´s request; provided, that Jazz shall have the right to redact confidential information contained in such agreement to the extent disclosure of such terms are not required to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
10.8[***]. If Jazz (or its Affiliates) [***], PharmaMar shall [***]. Jazz hereby [***]. The [***] arising out of such [***] shall not be [***]. [***] shall be entitled to seek any additional remedies available under Applicable Law or under this Agreement.
10.9Trademarks.

(i)The Parties will consult with each other in good faith regarding the selection or replacement of any product-specific Trademarks for any Licensed Product in the Licensed Indication in the Jazz Territory, and PharmaMar shall have the final approval of all such product-specific Trademarks (collectively, the “Product Trademarks”). As of the Restatement Effective Date, PharmaMar has decided to use the Trademark ZepzelcaTM set forth on Exhibit G for Licensed Products containing lurbinectedin. For clarity, subject to Section 10.9(e), in addition to the word xxxx ZepzelcaTM (or any alternative word Product Trademark), PharmaMar shall also decide at its sole discretion to use with respect to the Commercialization of any Licensed Product certain distinctive colors, figurative marks, combined word/figurative marks, symbols, images, logotypes or other marks and the manner of use thereof which shall also be deemed Product Trademarks, provided that the manner of use of such additional marks is consistent with Jazz Standard Trade Dress and Style and are not already in use or otherwise owned by Jazz. Such Trademark shall be the Product Trademark for such Licensed Products unless any Regulatory Authority in the Jazz Territory rejects such name. PharmaMar shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of all legal and market research for selection and testing of the proposed Product Trademarks in the Jazz Territory.
(b)In the event Regulatory Authorities in the Jazz Territory do not approve the registration or use of the elected Trademark as Product Trademark for any Licensed Product, PharmaMar shall decide at its sole discretion any alternative Product Trademark for the Licensed Product in the Jazz Territory. PharmaMar shall have final decision-making rights for any such alternative trademark for the Licensed Product (upon prior consultation with Jazz) at the time any alternative Product Trademark is needed in the Jazz Territory.
(c)PharmaMar will keep Jazz informed of all product-specific Trademarks used by PharmaMar and its Third Party Partners for Licensed Products in the PharmaMar Territory.
(d)Jazz shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to display the applicable Product Trademark(s) on all packaging materials, labels and marketing materials for the applicable Licensed Product, provided that the Parties acknowledge and agree that final
67
packaging and label of each Licensed Product is subject to approval by and in compliance with the applicable Regulatory Authority.
(e)Licensed Product(s) shall be sold in the Jazz Territory under the trade name of Jazz; provided, that Jazz shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to include PharmaMar’s name on the packaging materials, labels and marketing materials for Licensed Products. The Trademarks of Jazz, trade dress, style of packaging, prominence of PharmaMar’s name and the like with respect to a Licensed Product in the Jazz Territory may be determined by Jazz in a manner that is consistent with Jazz’s standard trade dress and style (“Jazz Standard Trade Dress and Style”). The ownership and all goodwill from use of Jazz Standard Trade Dress and Style shall vest in and inure to the exclusive benefit of Jazz.
(f)Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, PharmaMar hereby grants to Jazz an exclusive license under Product Trademarks (with the right to sublicense according to Section 2.1(c)), for its use, consistent with the usage guidelines provided by PharmaMar of such Product Trademarks in writing, in the Jazz Territory for the Commercialization of Licensed Product(s) in accordance with this Agreement. The ownership and all goodwill from the use of the Product Trademarks shall vest in and inure to the exclusive benefit of PharmaMar.
(g)Registration of Trade Marks. PharmaMar (or its designee) shall file, register and maintain at PharmaMar’s expense and in PharmaMar’s own name (to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws), appropriate registrations for the Product Trademarks in the Jazz Territory. PharmaMar will keep Jazz regularly informed of the progress and status of such filings and provide Jazz with an opportunity to review and comment on any material draft filings related thereto. PharmaMar shall [***] provided by Jazz with respect to such draft filings.
(h)Enforcement.
(i)If either Party becomes aware of any actual or threatened infringement of any Product Trademark or any registration of a proposed Trademark by a Third Party that is similar to a Product Trademark in the Jazz Territory or the PharmaMar Territory, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing. PharmaMar shall maintain an application and publication watch on the U.S. federal trademark registry for Product Trademark used on the Licensed Product in the Jazz Territory and shall promptly appraise Jazz of any Third Party filings for similar marks.
(ii)Jazz shall have the first right, at its own expense, to initiate infringement proceedings or take other appropriate actions against an infringement of any Product Trademark in the Jazz Territory or take appropriate actions with respect to the registration of a proposed Trademark by a Third Party that is similar to a Product Trademark in the Jazz Territory and/or to defend any actions or proceedings involving the Product Trademarks in the Jazz Territory, as the case may be.
(iii)If Jazz does not initiate proceedings or take other appropriate action within [***] days of [***], then PharmaMar shall be entitled, at its own expense, to
68
initiate infringement proceedings or take other appropriate action against an infringement of a Product Trademark in the Jazz Territory, or to take appropriate actions with respect to the application or registration of a proposed Trademark by a Third Party that is similar to a Product Trademark in the Jazz Territory, or to defend any actions or proceedings involving or affecting a Product Trademark in the Jazz Territory, as the case may be.
(iv)The Party conducting such action shall have full control over the conduct of such action, including settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Party conducting such action may not settle any such action, or make any admissions or assert any position in such action, in a manner that would materially adversely affect the Product Trademarks in the Jazz Territory or the rights or interests of the other Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(v)In any event, the Parties shall keep one another informed of the status of their respective activities regarding any litigation in the Jazz Territory involving a Product Trademark or settlement thereof and shall assist one another and cooperate in any such litigation at the other’s reasonable request and expense (including joining as a party plaintiff to the extent necessary and requested by the other Party).
(vi)Jazz and PharmaMar shall recover their respective actual out-of-pocket expenses, or proportionate percentages thereof, associated with any litigation against infringers undertaken pursuant to this Section 10.9(h) or settlement thereof from any resulting recovery made by either Party. Any excess amount of such recovery shall be split [***].
11.Confidentiality
11.1Confidential Information. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement, each Party agrees that, during the Term, and for [***] years thereafter, such Party (the “Receiving Party”) shall keep confidential, and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement, any Information furnished to it by the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) pursuant to this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement (collectively, “Confidential Information”). The Receiving Party may use Confidential Information only to the extent required to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own (but in no event less than reasonable care) to ensure that its, and its Affiliates’, employees, agents, consultants and other representatives (“Representatives”) do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or unauthorized disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

11.4Publications. Each Party and its Affiliates shall be free to publish, and to authorize Sublicensees and Third Party Partners to publish, the protocol or results of any preclinical study or clinical trial of a Licensed Product conducted by or on behalf of such Party or its Affiliate or Sublicensee, provided that solely with regard to (i) manuscripts, abstracts or other publications of PharmaMar (or its Third Party Partners) regarding Atlantis Trial, SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies conducted by PharmaMar and any other Clinical Trial conducted by PharmaMar or on its behalf in the Jazz Territory, or regarding Clinical Trials sponsored by PharmaMar or its Third Party Partners involving the Licensed Product conducted within [***] and (ii) any manuscripts, abstracts or other publications of Jazz (or its Sublicensees) regarding any Development activities conducted by Jazz or on its behalf in Jazz Territory, SCLC Post-Approval Commitment Studies conducted by Jazz and any other Development activity conducted by Jazz in the PharmaMar Territory, the other Party has a reasonable opportunity not less [***] days for abstracts, posters or other presentation materials and [***] days for all other publications prior to the date of publication to review the proposed publication and provide comments; provided, that, with respect to publications by Third Parties that are Third Party Partners as of the Effective Date, PharmaMar shall only have an obligation to provide drafts for review and comment in accordance with this Section 11.4 to the extent such Third Party Partner is obligated to provide PharmaMar with such drafts and Jazz’s timeline to review and comment shall be consistent with the timelines set forth in the applicable Third Party Partner agreement.

About lurbinectedin
Lurbinectedin (ZepzelcaTM), also known as PM1183, is an analog of the marine compound ET-736 isolated from the sea squirt Ecteinacidia turbinata in which a hydrogen atom has been replaced by a methoxy group. It is a selective inhibitor of the oncogenic transcription programs on which many tumors are particularly dependent. Together with its effect on cancer cells, lurbinectedin inhibits oncogenic transcription in tumor-associated macrophages, downregulating the production of cytokines that are essential for the growth of the tumor. Transcriptional addiction is an acknowledged target in those diseases, many of them lacking other actionable targets.
