Announcements

9.1

No formal public announcement or press release in connection with the execution or subject matter of this Deed or any ancillary matter will (except as may be required in the Prospectus or pursuant to any related party announcement or release) be made or issued by or on behalf of any Party, without the prior written approval of the other Parties (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as permitted by the Cosmos SHA or any Transaction Documents.

9.2

Nothing in clause 9.1 will prevent any announcement being made to the extent required by law, any listing authority, any stock exchange, any governmental authority or any other competent regulatory body, but the Party subject to the announcement requirement will promptly notify the other Parties of the requirement and provide every reasonable opportunity for the other Parties to comment on any announcement or release before it is made or issued (provided that this will not have the effect of preventing the Party making the announcement or release from complying with its legal and/or regulatory obligations).

Further Assurance

11.2

GSK and Pfizer shall procure that the members of their respective Groups shall comply with the terms of this Deed.

Miscellaneous

12.1

This Deed, together with the Registration Rights Agreement, any Transaction Document entered into by each of the Parties and any other agreement or document entered into by any of the Parties in connection with this Deed, together constitute the whole and only agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Deed, the Registration Rights Agreement, any Transaction Document entered into by each of the Parties and any other agreement or document entered into by each of the Parties in connection with this Deed.

12.2

All terms of the Transaction Documents entered into by each of the Parties shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and nothing herein shall amend, limit or otherwise modify the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under such Transaction Documents, in each case except as, and only to the extent, expressly modified by this Deed.

12.3

This Deed may only be varied in writing signed by each of the Parties. If this Deed is varied:

(A)

the variation shall not constitute a general waiver of any provisions of this Deed;

(B)

the variation shall not affect any rights, obligations or liabilities under this Deed that have already accrued up to the date of variation; and

(C)

the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Deed shall remain in full force and effect, except as, and only to the extent that, they are so varied.

12.4

Nothing in this Deed and no action taken by the Parties under this Deed shall constitute a partnership, association, joint venture or other co-operative entity between the Parties or any of them. No Party has any authority or power to bind, to contract in the name of, or to create a liability for any other Party in any way or for any purpose save as specifically set out in this Deed.

12.5

This Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the Parties to it on separate counterparts, but shall not be effective until each Party has executed at least one counterpart. Each counterpart shall constitute an original of this Deed, but all the counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of a counterpart of this Deed by e-mail attachment shall be an effective mode of delivery.

12.6

If at any time any provision of this Deed is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, this shall not affect or impair:

(A)

the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other (or the remainder of a) provision of this Deed; or

(B)

the legality, validity or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction of that or any other provision of this Deed.

12.7

Each of the provisions in this Deed is severable.

12.8

If and to the extent that any provision of this Deed:

(A)

is held to be, or becomes, invalid or unenforceable under the Law of any jurisdiction; but

(B)

would be valid, binding and enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted or amended,

then the provision shall apply with the minimum modifications necessary to make it valid, binding and enforceable. All other provisions of this Deed shall remain in force.

13.

Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999

A person who is not a Party to this Deed has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Deed but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

14.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

14.1

This Deed and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law. Any matter, claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with this Deed, whether contractual or non-contractual, is to be governed by and determined in accordance with English law.

14.2

The courts of England are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute, whether contractual or non-contractual, arising out of or in connection with this Deed. Any Proceedings shall be brought only in the courts of England.

14.3

Each Party waives (and agrees not to raise) any objection, on the ground of forum non conveniens or on any other ground, to the taking of Proceedings in the courts of England. Each Party also agrees that a judgment against it in Proceedings brought in England shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction.

14.4

Each Party irrevocably submits and agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of England.

15.

Agent for Service

15.1

Pfizer irrevocably appoints Pfizer Limited, c/o UK Legal Department, Pfizer Ltd (IPC 0-0), Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx XX00 0XX and the SLPs each irrevocably appoint GSK to be their respective agents for the receipt of Service Documents. The Appointers each agree that any Service Documents may be effectively served on them in connection with Proceedings in England and Wales by service on their respective agents effected in any manner permitted by the Civil Procedure Rules.

15.2

If an agent appointed under clause 15.1 at any time ceases for any reason to act as such, the Appointer whose agent has ceased to act as such shall promptly appoint a replacement agent having an address for service in England or Wales and shall notify the other Parties of the name and address of the replacement agent.

15.3

Where an Appointer fails to appoint a replacement agent in accordance with clause 15.1 any other Party shall be entitled to appoint a replacement agent to act on behalf of that Appointer by giving notice in writing of the name and address of the replacement agent to all other Parties (an "Appointment Notice"). Where multiple Parties each seek to appoint a replacement agent pursuant to this clause 15.3 the Party that first gives a valid Appointment Notice shall be deemed to have appointed the replacement agent specified in that Appointment Notice and any Appointment Notices given by other Parties in respect of that appointment shall be of no effect.

15.4

An Appointer shall be entitled at any time, by notice in writing to the other Parties, to replace an agent appointed in accordance with clause 15.3 with a replacement agent having an address for service in England or Wales. The provisions of this clause 15 applying to service on an agent apply equally to service on a replacement agent appointed under clauses 15.2, 15.3 or this clause 15.4.

15.5

A copy of any Service Document served on an agent or replacement agent (as applicable) appointed in accordance with clauses 15.1 to 15.4 (inclusive) shall be sent by post to that agent’s Appointer. Failure or delay in so doing shall not prejudice the effectiveness of service of the Service Document.
