6. SUPPORT FOR NEW INDICATIONS

For the purposes of this Agreement, Clinical Trials for indications other than HD shall be divided into two major types.

Clinical Studies can be categorized as:

6.1 For “Registration Studies” the paying Party can have the data filed in its Territory, i.e., if both Parties pay, the data can be filed in both Parties’ territories. If only one Party pays, then that Party owns the data and only that Party can have the data filed in its Territory, except with respect to a ************ , which shall be paid for by XXX.

(a) XXX will fund and use its Best Efforts to progress the Program for new indications in the Territory, with GTC having the option, but not the obligation to participate in such funding. Should XXX provide the funding for such clinical trials in the Territory, and GTC subsequently wishes to utilize the data from such clinical trials to support approvals in jurisdictions outside the Territory, it shall compensate XXX for such use. The amount and form of such compensation and a premium, shall be negotiated by the Parties in good faith prior to the commencement of any clinical trial, but shall be based upon the scope and costs of the clinical trials to be conducted, as well as the jurisdictions and the patient population in those jurisdictions. A similar approach shall be used if GTC pays for any clinical trials outside the Territory and XXX wishes to use such data in support of regulatory submissions within the Territory.

XXX shall conduct a Phase II Registration Study of the Product in the ************ Indication. The design and scope of this Registration Study is to be discussed in the Coordinating Committee. This Phase II Registration Study shall be conducted as per the scientific advice of EMEA and in the Territory. This Registration Study will be at XXX cost and all data will be shared freely between the Parties.

As regards Phase III Registration Study for the ************ Indication, the Parties agree to the following principle in costing the Registration Study: XXX will only pay for clinical development conducted within the Territory. If a jointly funded Registration Study is performed, (i.e. including centers both within and outside the Territory), GTC shall pay the incremental increase in cost per patient outside the Territory (US centers) over that cost per patient within the Territory and the remaining costs are to be shared ************ between the Parties. The following formula shall serve as a guide for determining the cost to be shared and the cost paid for by GTC in these types of Registration Studies:

To be shared:

************

To be paid by GTC:

************

(b) For non-clinical studies XXX will pay for requirements specifically made by EMEA for registration of the ************ indication in the Territory subject to the prior approval by XXX of the budget for such cost. For indications beyond ************ the Parties will split the cost on a ************ basis for such non-clinical studies in a similar manner as described above in the first paragraph of Article 6.1 (a).

6.2 For “Other Studies” the Parties can freely use the data regardless of which Party conducted and paid for the study.

7. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

7.1 Regulatory and Reimbursement Approvals. GTC shall obtain Approval of the MAA submitted prior to the signing of this Agreement from the European Commission for the Product in the European Union, and promptly hereafter cause Genzyme Corporation to transfer the marketing authorization in European Union to XXX.

Upon completion of the transfer XXX will act as marketing authorization holder.

(ii) that the contents of the applications shall at all times be kept strictly confidential by XXX and GTC; and

7.2 Suspension of Distribution. Each Party shall notify the other promptly if it becomes aware of a problem with the quality or safety of the Product distributed in the Territory, or a directive from the FDA, the EMEA, or any other applicable Regulatory Authority related to Product distributed in the Territory. Upon receipt of any such notice from GTC, XXX, in consultation with GTC, shall determine whether to immediately suspend Sales and distribution of the Product in the Territory. After any such suspension, XXX shall in its reasonable discretion determine whether and when to resume Sales and distribution of the Product; provided, however, that no such suspension shall be deemed to be a default by XXX hereunder except to the extent
