(b)Royalty Reduction. If, during a Calendar Quarter, there have been sales of a Generic Version of a Product in a country and the aggregate units of all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in such Calendar Quarter exceed […***…]% of the aggregate units of such Product and all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in such Calendar Quarter, then the royalties payable on Net Sales of such Product in such country for such Calendar Quarter will be reduced to […***…]% of the royalties otherwise payable under Section 8.3(a). Such royalty reduction will be calculated by (i) determining the portion of total Net Sales of all Products in the Territory in a Calendar Quarter that is attributable to the Product and country to which the reduction applies, (ii) determining the total royalties payable on Net Sales of all Products in the Territory without applying a reduction, (iii) determining the portion of such total royalties that is attributable to the Product and country to which the reduction applies (based on the Net Sales calculation under clause (i)) and (iv) reducing such portion of total royalties attributable to the applicable Product and country to […***…]% of such portion.
(c)Royalty Reports and Payment. Within 30 days after each Calendar Quarter, Eisai shall provide Arena with a report that contains the following information for the applicable Calendar Quarter, on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis (the “Quarterly Report”): (i) the amount of gross sales of the Products, (ii) an itemized calculation of Net Sales in the Territory showing separately each type of deduction provided for in the definition of Net Sales, (iii) a calculation of the royalty payment due, including the application of any reduction made in accordance with Section 8.3(b), and (iv) the exchange rate for such country. Concurrent with the delivery of the applicable Quarterly Report, Eisai shall pay Arena all royalties owed with respect to Net Sales for such Calendar Quarter; provided, that with respect to Net Sales by any Third Party Distributor for such Calendar Quarter, if such Third Party Distributor fails to pay Eisai all amounts payable to Eisai under the applicable Third Party Distributor Agreement with respect to such Net Sales by the due date, and Eisai uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enforce such Third Party Distributor Agreement to obtain such payment, then Eisai shall not have any obligation to pay Arena any amount pursuant to this Section 8.3 with respect to such Net Sales unless and until such Third Party Distributor has paid Eisai all amounts payable to Eisai under the applicable Third Party Distributor Agreement with respect to such Net Sales. Eisai will ensure that its agreements with Eisai Related Parties permit the information required under this section to be disclosed to Arena in accordance with the terms of this section, and further permit audit rights for Arena consistent with this Agreement.
(d)Basis for Royalties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the royalties payable under this Section 8.3 are based on blended royalty rates that reflect combined consideration for the Purchased Assets, the New Program Know-How and New Program Patents and the rights granted under the Arena Licensed IP, Arena Licensed Records, Arena Licensed Manufacturing Know-How and Arena Licensed Supply Records. In establishing this payment structure, the Parties recognize, and Eisai acknowledges, the substantial value of the Purchased Assets, the New Program Know-How and New Program Patents and Arena Licensed IP, Arena Licensed Records, Arena Licensed Manufacturing Know-How and Arena Licensed Supply Records and the Parties agree that as a result the royalties set forth above are appropriate for the duration of the Term.

8.4Currency. All payments to the Payee Party under this Agreement shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account in the name of the Payee Party designated in writing by the Payee Party. Payments hereunder shall be considered to be made as of the day on which they are received by the Payee Party’s designated bank. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, all amounts specified to be payable under this Agreement are in United States Dollars and shall be paid in United States Dollars.
8.5Taxes. The milestone payments, royalty payments and other amounts payable by one Party (the “Paying Party”) to the other Party (the “Payee Party”) pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Payment”) shall not be reduced on account of any taxes except to the extent of amounts required to be withheld by the Paying Party by Applicable Laws, if any. The Payee Party alone shall be responsible for paying any and all taxes (other than withholding taxes required by Applicable Laws to be withheld from Payments and remitted by the Paying Party) levied on account of, or measured in whole or in part by reference to, any Payments it receives. Without limiting the above, the Paying Party shall not withhold from the Payments any taxes except to the extent that it is required to do so by Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Payee Party is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, the applicable withholding tax, it may deliver to the Paying Party or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of the Paying Party to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve the Paying Party of its obligation to withhold tax, and the Paying Party shall apply the reduced rate of withholding, or dispense with withholding, as the case may be; provided, that the Paying Party has received evidence, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Party, of the Payee Party’s delivery of all applicable forms (and, if necessary, its receipt of appropriate governmental authorization) at least 15 days prior to the time that the applicable Payment is due. If, in accordance with the foregoing, the Paying Party withholds any amount, it shall pay to the Payee Party the balance when due, make timely payment to the proper taxing authority of the withheld amount and send to the Payee Party proof of such payment within 10 days following such payment. In the event any taxes are withheld on any Payment, the Paying Party shall promptly pay the Payee Party an amount equal to […***…]% of the withheld amount (less any additional required withholding). If and to the extent that a Payee Party reasonably believes (in good faith) that (a) it has actually realized a reduction in its current liability as a result of tax withholdings on any Payment and, as a result, it has actually paid a lesser amount to a tax authority or (b) it has actually received a refund of any taxes withheld on any Payment, the Payee Party shall promptly pay to the Paying Party an amount equal to the lesser of (i) […***…]% of such lesser amount paid as a result of the reduction in current tax liability or refund and (ii) the amount paid by the Paying Party to the Payee Party with respect to such taxes withheld on the applicable Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if as a result of any action by Arena or any of its Affiliates, including any assignment, sublicense, change of place of incorporation or failure to comply with Applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements, a higher percentage is required to be withheld on Payments to Arena or its successor or assign than would have been withheld without such action, Eisai shall have no obligation to pay to Arena or its successor or assign any amounts in respect of withheld amounts above those which would have been withheld had such action not been taken and (B) if as a result of any action by Eisai or any of its Affiliates, including any assignment, sublicense, change of place of incorporation or failure to comply with Applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements, a higher percentage is withheld on Payments to Arena than would have been withheld without such action, Eisai shall pay to Arena any withheld amounts above those which would have been withheld had such action not been taken.

Such books and records shall be kept for such period of time required by Applicable Laws, but no less than at least five years following the end of the Calendar Quarter to which they pertain. Eisai shall also keep, and cause its Affiliates and Distributors to keep, complete, true and accurate books of accounts and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable to Arena under the Existing Agreement during the five-year period ending with the Specified Date (“Existing Agreement Audit Period”). Such records shall be subject to inspection in accordance with Section 8.7.

(a)Audit of Eisai. Upon not less than 60 days’ prior written notice, Eisai shall permit an independent, certified public accountant of international recognition (for the purposes of this Section 8.7, the “Auditor”) selected by Arena and reasonably acceptable to Eisai, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, to audit or inspect those books and records of Eisai and the Eisai Related Parties that relate to (i) Net Sales for the sole purpose of verifying the royalty payments made to Arena, and (ii) payments made by Eisai to Arena GmbH pursuant to the Existing Agreement during the Existing Agreement Audit Period for the sole purpose of verifying such payments made to Arena GmbH.
(b)Audit of Arena. Upon not less than 60 days’ prior written notice, Arena shall permit an Auditor selected by Eisai and reasonably acceptable to Arena, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, to audit or inspect those books or records of Arena and its Affiliates that relate to (i) Finished Product COGS for the sole purpose of verifying the amounts invoiced by Arena GmbH pursuant to the Existing Agreement and (ii) payments made by Arena GmbH pursuant to the Existing Agreement during the Existing Agreement Audit Period, for the sole purpose of verifying such payments made to Eisai.
(c)Audit Procedures. The audited Party shall not be obligated to provide the Auditor any records until the Auditor executes a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the audited party. The Auditor shall disclose to the auditing Party only whether any reports made or amounts invoiced under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement or, as applicable, the Existing Agreement are correct and details concerning any discrepancies. The Auditor shall send a copy of the report to the other Party at the same time it is sent to the auditing Party. Such audits or inspections may be made no more than once each Calendar Year (unless an audit or inspection reveals a material inaccuracy in reports made or amounts invoiced under this Agreement or, as applicable, the Existing Agreement, in which case it may be repeated within such Calendar Year), during normal business hours. If such report shows that the amounts paid by a Party for the period audited are less than the amounts actually payable by such
40
Party to the other Party during the period audited, then (absent manifest error or fraud in such audit report) the underpaying Party shall pay to the other Party the amount of such underpayment plus interest under Section 8.8, from the date such amounts were originally owed until payment is made, within 30 days of receipt of such audit. If such report shows that the amounts paid by a Party for the period audited exceed the amounts actually owed by such Party to the other Party for the period audited, then (absent manifest error or fraud in such audit report) the overpaying Party shall deliver to the other Party an invoice for such excess amount, and the other Party shall pay such invoiced excess amount within 30 days of receipt of such invoice. Such records for any particular Calendar Quarter shall be subject to no more than one audit or inspection and no audit or inspection with respect to any Calendar Quarter may be initiated later than five years after the end of such Calendar Quarter. Audits and inspections conducted under this Section 8.7 shall be at the expense of the auditing Party, unless a variation or error producing (i) with respect to an audit or inspection pursuant to subsection (a), an underpayment in amounts payable exceeding an amount equal to 5% of the amount paid for a period covered by the audit or inspection is established, in which case all reasonable and verifiable costs relating to the audit or inspection for such period and any unpaid amounts that are discovered shall be paid by Eisai and (ii) with respect to an audit or inspection pursuant to subsection (b), an overpayment in amounts payable by Eisai or an underpayment in amounts payable by Arena pursuant to the Existing Agreement during the Existing Agreement Audit Period exceeding an amount equal to 5% of the amount paid for a period covered by the audit or inspection is established, in which case all reasonable and verifiable costs relating to the audit or inspection for such period and any unpaid amounts that are discovered shall be paid by Arena. The auditing Party shall endeavor in such audit not to unreasonably disrupt the normal business activities of the audited party.
8.8Payment Due Dates; Late Payments. If any Payment is due on a day when banks in New York, New York are generally closed, then such Payment shall not be considered late if made on the next day on which such banks are generally open. In the event that any Payment due under this Agreement is not made when due, such Payment shall accrue interest from the date due at a rate per annum equal to 4% above the U.S. Prime Rate (as set forth in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition) for the date on which payment was originally due until the date such Payment plus accrued interest hereunder is actually made, calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year, or similar reputable data source; provided, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate. The payment of such interest shall not limit the Party entitled to receive such payment from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any Payment.
8.9Currency Conversion. For the purpose of calculating any sums due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement or the Existing Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than United States Dollars), such conversion shall be made by using the arithmetic mean of the exchange rates for the purchase of United States Dollars as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, on the last Business Day of each month in the Calendar Quarter(s) to which such payments relate.

Article 9
CONFIDENTIALITY; STANDSTILL
9.1Confidential Information. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or the Supply Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the Parties agree that the receiving Party (the “Receiving Party”) shall keep confidential and not publish or otherwise disclose or use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement or the Supply Agreement any Know-How, information or materials, patentable or otherwise, in any form (written, oral, photographic, electronic, magnetic, or otherwise) that is disclosed to it by the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) pursuant to this Agreement or the Supply Agreement including all information concerning the Initial Product, the Once-Daily Product or any other Product or any Compound or Related Compound and any other technical or business information of whatever nature concerning the Disclosing Party or its technology or business and all Confidential Information (as defined in the Original Agreement, the Restated Agreement or Existing Agreement) (collectively, “Confidential Information” of the Disclosing Party), except that the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors (including, in the case of Eisai, Eisai Related Parties and Co-Promotion Partners) and consultants with a need to know such Confidential Information to assist the Receiving Party with the activities contemplated or required of it by this Agreement or the Supply Agreement (and who shall be advised of the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder and who are bound by confidentiality obligations with respect to such Confidential Information no less onerous than those set forth in this Agreement) (each, a “Recipient”). For the purposes of this Article 9, the term “Disclosing Party” shall include each Party and its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors and consultants who are directed to disclose such Party’s or its Affiliate’s Confidential Information, and the term “Receiving Party” shall include each Party and its Affiliates. For clarity, all Program Know-How (as defined in the Existing Agreement) (except any Program Know-How included in the Purchased Assets) is deemed to be the Confidential Information of Arena and shall be deemed to have been disclosed by Arena to Eisai for purposes of Section 9.2. It is understood and agreed that with respect to any Confidential Information included in the Purchased Assets, from and following the Effective Date, Eisai shall be the Disclosing Party with respect to any such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge the practical difficulty of policing the use of information in the unaided memory of the Receiving Party or its Recipients, and as such each Party agrees that the Receiving Party shall not be liable for the use by any of its Recipients of specific Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that is retained in the unaided memory of such Recipient; provided, that (a) such Recipient is not aware that such Confidential Information is the confidential information of Disclosing Party at the time of such use; (b) the foregoing is not intended to grant, and shall not be deemed to grant, the Receiving Party, its Affiliates, or its Recipients (i) a right to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or (ii) a license under any Patents or other intellectual property right of the Disclosing Party; and (c) such Recipient has not intentionally memorized such Confidential Information for use outside this Agreement.
42
9.2Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 9.1, Confidential Information shall not include any Know-How, information or materials that, in each case as demonstrated by competent evidence:
(a)was already known to the Receiving Party or any of its Recipients, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure;
(b)was generally available to the public or was otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party;
(c)became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure by the Disclosing Party and other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party or any of its Recipients in breach of this Agreement or the Existing Agreement;
(d)was subsequently lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party or any of its Recipients by a Person other than the Disclosing Party, and who, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party or such Recipient, did not directly or indirectly receive such information from the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates under an obligation of confidence; or
(e)was developed by the Receiving Party or any of its Recipients without use of or reference to any information or materials disclosed by the Disclosing Party.
Information specific to the use of certain compounds, methods, conditions or features shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because such information is embraced by general disclosures in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party or its Recipients. In addition, a combination of information will not be deemed to fall within the foregoing exceptions, even if all of the components fall within an exception, unless the combination itself and its significance are in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party prior to the disclosures hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the act of using information in a clinical trial nor the filing of information with a governmental authority shall, for the purpose of this Article 9, in and of itself be deemed to place such information in the public domain.
9.3Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Supply Agreement or if and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary or useful in the following instances:
(a)the performance by the Receiving Party of its obligations or exercise of its rights as contemplated by this Agreement or the Supply Agreement; provided, that wherever reasonable and practicable in the circumstances the recipient of any such Confidential Information shall be subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information substantially similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the Receiving Party pursuant to this Article 9;
(b)filing or prosecuting Patents as permitted by this Agreement;
43
(c)seeking, obtaining or maintaining any Regulatory Approval as permitted by this Agreement; provided, that the Receiving Party shall take reasonable measures to assure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information, to the extent such treatment is available;
(d)prosecuting or defending litigation with respect to a Party or its Affiliates, and with respect to Eisai, Eisai Related Parties and Co-Promotion Partners, as permitted by this Agreement;
(e)complying with Applicable Laws; and
(f)disclosure to Third Parties in connection with due diligence or similar investigations by or on behalf of a Third Party in connection with a potential marketing, distribution or supply agreement with, or license to, or collaboration with such Third Party (including as to Eisai, a potential Distributor or Sublicensee, and as to Arena, a potential sublicensee under the licenses granted to Arena under Section 4.4) or a potential merger or acquisition by such Third Party, or in connection with performance of any such license, collaboration or merger agreement, and disclosure to potential Third Party investors in confidential financing documents; provided, in each case, that any such Third Party agrees to be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use substantially similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the Receiving Party pursuant to this Article 9.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Receiving Party or a Recipient is required to make a disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 9.3(d) or (e) to comply with a subpoena or other legal order, it shall, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure and give the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to quash such subpoena or order and to obtain a protective order requiring that the Confidential Information and documents that are the subject of such subpoena or order be held in confidence by such court or agency or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which such subpoena or order was issued; and provided, further, that if such subpoena or order is not quashed or a protective order is not obtained, the Confidential Information disclosed in response to such subpoena or order shall be limited to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed in response to such subpoena or order and shall still be subject to the restrictions on use set forth in this Article 9.
9.4Confidentiality of Agreements and Their Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9, each Party agrees not to disclose to any Third Party the existence of this Agreement, the Supply Agreement, the Original Agreement, the Restated Agreement or the Existing Agreement or the terms and conditions of any such agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that each Party may disclose the terms and conditions of any such agreement that are not otherwise made public as contemplated by Section 9.5 or were not otherwise made public in accordance with the Original Agreement, the Restated Agreement or the Existing Agreement, as permitted under Section 9.3.
(a)As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, each Party shall issue a mutually agreed to press release announcing the entry into this Agreement and the Supply
44
Agreement. Except as required by Applicable Laws (including disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (including disclosure requirements of a Party’s Affiliate), the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party or any of its Affiliates are traded), neither Party shall make any other public announcement concerning this Agreement, the Supply Agreement, the Original Agreement, the Restated Agreement or the Existing Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed; provided, that it shall not be unreasonable for a Party to withhold consent with respect to any public announcement containing any of such Party’s Confidential Information. In the event of a public announcement required under Applicable Laws, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, the Party making such announcement shall provide the other Party with a copy of the proposed text of such announcement sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release to afford such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text.
(b)Prior to the Effective Date, redacted versions of the Original Agreement, Restated Agreement and Existing Agreement were filed with the SEC. The Parties shall coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the filing of this Agreement and the Supply Agreement (including, if applicable, redaction of certain provisions of this Agreement and the Supply Agreement) with the SEC or any other governmental agency, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party or any of its Affiliates are traded, and each Party shall use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for the terms reasonably requested by the other Party to be redacted; provided, that each Party shall ultimately retain control over what information to disclose to the SEC or any other governmental agency, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange, as the case may be, and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent a Party from taking all actions it reasonably considers necessary to comply with Applicable Laws with respect to any such filings or disclosures; and provided, further, that the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to file redacted versions with any governing bodies that are consistent with redacted versions previously filed with any other governing bodies. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, neither Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be obligated to consult with or obtain approval from the other Party with respect to any filings to the SEC, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange or governmental agency.
9.6Use of Name. Neither Party shall use the name, insignia, symbol, Trademark, trade name or logotype of the other Party (or any abbreviation or adaptation thereof) in any publication, press release or marketing and promotional material or other form of publicity without the prior written approval of such other Party in each instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, or except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or the Supply Agreement. The restrictions imposed by this Section 9.6 shall not prohibit either Party from making any disclosure (a) identifying the other Party or its Affiliate as a counterparty to this Agreement and the Supply Agreement to its investors, (b) that is required by Applicable Laws or the requirements of a national securities exchange or another similar regulatory body (provided, that any such disclosure shall be governed by this Article 9), (c) that is necessary for the performance by Eisai or Arena or Arena GmbH of its obligations or exercise of its rights as contemplated by this Agreement or the Supply Agreement or (d) with respect to which written consent has previously been obtained. Further, the restrictions imposed on each
45
Party under this Section 9.6 are not intended, and shall not be construed, to prohibit a Party from identifying the other Party in its internal business communications; provided, that any Confidential Information in such communications remains subject to this Article 9.
9.7Publication of Information Related to the Products. As between the Parties, Eisai shall have the sole right to publicly present or submit for written or oral publication a manuscript, abstract or the like that includes information relating to any Compound, Related Compound or Product (without Arena’s review or consent). The contribution of each Party shall be noted in all publications or presentations by acknowledgment or co-authorship, as appropriate.
(a)Certain Restrictions on Eisai. During the Term and for two years thereafter, except with the written consent of Arena or Arena US (which may be withheld by Arena or Arena US at the sole discretion of its board of directors) or by way of stock dividends or other distributions made to Arena’s or any of its Affiliates’ stockholders generally, neither Eisai nor any of its Affiliates shall, in any manner, directly or indirectly: (i) make, effect, initiate, cause or participate in (A) any acquisition of beneficial ownership of any securities of Arena or any securities of any Affiliate of Arena (in excess of 5% of the total outstanding securities of Arena or any such Affiliate of Arena at the time of any such acquisition), (B) other than purchase of any Purchased Assets and the Products under the Supply Agreement, any acquisition of any material assets of Arena or any material assets of any Affiliate of Arena, (C) any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, business combination, recapitalization, reorganization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or extraordinary transaction involving Arena or any Affiliate of Arena, or involving any securities of Arena or any securities of any Affiliate of Arena, or (D) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as those terms are used in Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act) or consents with respect to any securities of Arena or any Affiliate of Arena; (ii) form, join or participate in a “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) with respect to the beneficial ownership of any securities of Arena or any Affiliate of Arena in excess of the amounts permitted under subclause (i)(A); (iii) act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control the management, board of directors or policies of Arena or any Affiliate of Arena; (iv) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require Arena or any Affiliate of Arena to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in clause “(i)” of this sentence; (v) agree or offer to take, or knowingly encourage or propose (publicly or otherwise) the taking of, any action referred to in clause “(i)”, “(ii)”, “(iii)” or “(iv)” of this sentence; (vi) induce or knowingly encourage any other person or entity to take any action of the type referred to in clause “(i)”, “(ii)”, “(iii)”, “(iv)” or “(v)” of this sentence; (vii) enter into any discussions, negotiations, arrangement or agreement with any other Person relating to any of the foregoing or (viii) request or propose that Arena or any Affiliate of Arena amend, waive or consider the amendment or waiver of any provision set forth in this Section 9.8(a).
(b)Exception to Standstill Provisions.
(i)The provisions of Section 9.8(a) shall cease to apply: (A) if Arena or any Affiliate of Arena publicly announces or otherwise engages in a process designed to solicit offers relating to transactions that, if consummated, would result in (1) a Third Party
46

12.7Procedure.
(a)Notice and Right to Assume. A Party that intends to exercise its rights to defense, indemnity or hold harmless under this Article 12 (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Third Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to exercise such rights. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article 12 if and to the extent the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnitor with reasonable assistance, at the Indemnitor’s expense, in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall have the right to assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice. The Indemnitee may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its choice, which shall be at its own expense. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money by the Indemnitor and does not involve any admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of any Arena Indemnitees or Eisai Indemnitees, as applicable. So long as the Indemnitor is defending the Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor.
(b)Indemnitor Conducts Defense. The assumption of a defense by the Indemnitor shall not be deemed an admission that the Indemnitor has an obligation to defend, indemnify or hold harmless an Arena Indemnitee or Eisai Indemnitee, as applicable, from and against any Loss from a Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitor assumes and conducts the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, and if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitor was not obligated to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless an Arena Indemnitee or Eisai Indemnitee, as applicable, from and against any Loss from such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall reimburse the Indemnitor for any and all reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and all other Losses incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with such Third Party Claim.
(c)Indemnitor Does Not Conduct Defense. If the Indemnitor does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, (i) the Indemnitee may defend against such Third Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed and (ii) if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitor was obligated to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless an Arena Indemnitee or Eisai Indemnitee, as applicable, from and against any Loss from such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnitee for any and all reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and all other Losses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Third Party Claim.

12.8Product Liability Claims.
(a)All Product Liability Claims brought prior to the date that is […***…] months after the Effective Date will be governed by the terms of Section 11.4 of the Existing Agreement (with Arena substituted for Arena GmbH in such terms). All Product Liability Claims brought on or after the date that is […***…] months after the Effective Date will be governed by Sections 12.8(b) and 12.8(c).
(b)Except as set forth in Section 12.8(c) with respect to Arena Manufacturing Defect Losses, for any Product Liability Claim brought on or after the date that is […***…] months after the Effective Date, Eisai shall bear 100% of the Product Liability Defense Costs and shall bear 100% of all Product Liability Losses.
(c)If a Product Liability Claim brought on or after the date that is […***…] months after the Effective Date includes allegations of Arena Manufacturing Defect Losses, Arena may participate in and monitor the defense of such Product Liability Claim defense with Shadow Counsel appointed by Arena, and the attorneys’ fees and costs for such Shadow Counsel shall be borne solely by Arena. Eisai shall not settle, or consent to the settlement of, any Product Liability Claim brought on or after the date that is […***…] months after the Effective Date that would require the payment to a Third Party of Arena Manufacturing Defect Losses without the prior written consent of Arena, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each of Arena and Eisai shall bear […***…]% of all Arena Manufacturing Defect Losses.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if after a Facility Acquisition, Eisai is actually indemnified by Arena GmbH or its successor or assign against any Losses under the Supply Agreement, Arena shall have no obligation to also indemnify Eisai in respect of such Losses and may credit any Losses for which Arena GmbH or its successor or assign indemnified Eisai against any Arena Manufacturing Defect Losses for which Arena is responsible under Section 12.8. Prior to a Facility Acquisition, Arena GmbH’s obligations to indemnify Eisai under the Supply Agreement will not apply to any Product Liability Claims, Product Liability Defense Costs and Product Liability Losses, which will instead be governed by the terms of this Section 12.8.
(e)For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any claims, actions, suits or proceedings based on or occurring as a result of personal injury, death or property damage (to the extent resulting from personal injury or death) caused by or resulting from (or allegedly caused by or resulting from) the use of a Product sold, distributed, dispensed or otherwise administered in any country outside of the Existing Agreement Territory prior to the Effective Date and all Losses related thereto shall, as between Eisai and Arena, be the exclusive responsibility of Arena and constitute Excluded Liabilities hereunder.

Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage to the other Party upon request. It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of either Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 12.
(b)Arena shall at all times during the Term hold cash in an amount of no less than […***…].
12.10Indemnification under the Supply Agreement. The following provisions in this Section 12.10 will supersede Sections 13.1 and 13.2 of the Supply Agreement prior to a Facility Acquisition:

If such Termination Dispute is not resolved in accordance with Section 14.1 and Arena wishes to pursue such termination, such Termination Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) as then in effect as such rules may be modified by this Section 13.3 or agreement of the Parties, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(e)The Panel shall, in rendering its decision, apply the substantive law of the laws of the State of New York, United States, without reference to its conflicts of law principles with the exception of sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of New York General Obligations Law, and without giving effect to any rules or laws relating to arbitration.
(f)The Panel, in rendering its decision, must only determine whether or not Arena has a right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to the applicable Major Market pursuant to Section 13.2 and may not award any other relief or take any other action.
(g)Either Party may apply to the Panel for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the arbitration award.

13.4Accrued Obligations. The termination of this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to a Terminated Territory, for any reason shall not release either Party from any liability or obligation that, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to such Party or that is attributable to a period prior to such termination, nor will any termination of this Agreement preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, with respect to breach of this Agreement.

(i)The Parties shall work together in good faith to adopt a plan to wind-down such clinical trials or other development work in an orderly fashion, provided at Arena’s election Eisai will promptly transition such clinical trials or other development work activities to Arena or its designee, including the transfer to Arena of any Development Data then in Eisai’s or its Affiliate’s possession that has not previously been transferred (or developed) by Arena, with due regard for patient safety and the rights of any subjects that are participants in any clinical trials of a Product, and take any actions it deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to avoid any human health or safety problems and in compliance with all Applicable Laws; and
(ii)If Arena elects to wind-down the clinical trials or other development work with respect to a Product, all costs and expenses incurred from the effective date of the termination notice shall be borne 100% by Eisai.

(e)Assignment of Regulatory Filings (including Regulatory Approvals). Upon Arena’s request and to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Eisai shall assign or cause to be assigned to Arena or its designees (or to the extent not so assignable, Eisai shall take all reasonable actions to make available to Arena or its designee the benefits of) all Regulatory Filings (including INDs, NDAs and Regulatory Approvals) for the Products in the Territory, including any such Regulatory Filings made or owned by Eisai or any Eisai Related Party, at no cost to Arena. Eisai shall provide a complete copy of all Regulatory Filings assigned (or made available), as well as copies of all correspondence with Regulatory Authorities not already provided to Arena, pertaining to Products in the Territory.
(f)Transition. Eisai shall, at Arena’s cost and written request, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with Arena or its designee to effect a smooth and orderly transition in the development and Commercialization of the Products in the Territory. To the extent applicable, Arena shall use, identify and finalize an agreement or other arrangement
72
with a Third Party in relation to the Products and the transfer of the Regulatory Filings (including INDs, NDAs and Regulatory Approval) into the name of Arena or Arena’s designee so that the transition occurs as promptly as reasonably possible.

Upon the completion of the rights and obligations defined in this Section 13.5, at the written request of Arena, Eisai shall assign to Arena or its designee any Third Party distribution agreements and Sublicense agreements that solely relate to the Products, to the extent permitted under each such agreement. In the event such assignment is not requested by Arena or is not permitted under any such agreement, then the rights of such Third Party with respect to each Product shall terminate upon termination of Eisai’s rights with respect thereto. Eisai shall use its good faith efforts to include provisions requiring compliance with the foregoing provision in the agreements with applicable Third Parties.

15.1Existing Agreement. As of the Effective Date, the Existing Agreement is revised in its entirety and replaced with the provisions set forth in this Agreement, and the PV Agreement is hereby terminated; provided, however, that (a) the provisions regarding Product Purchase Price in Section 7.4(a) of the Existing Agreement shall survive and continue to apply only to (i) Product delivered for which payment has been made or is due as of the Specified Date, except as included in the reconciliation report dated as of March 31, 2016 provided by Eisai under Section 7.4(c) of the Existing Agreement, and (ii) Product ordered (but not yet delivered) prior to the Specified Date (collectively, the “Existing Agreement Product”), (b) the Product Purchase Price paid for the Existing Agreement Product shall not be subject to adjustment or reconciliation pursuant to Section 7.4(b), (c), (d) or (e) or Section 7.5 of the Existing Agreement and (c) Section 11.4 of the Existing Agreement shall survive and continue to apply only to Product Liability Claims required to be governed by the terms of Section 11.4 of the Existing Agreement pursuant to Section 12.8 hereof. Nothing in this Section 15.1 shall relieve either Party of any liability for any breach of the Existing Agreement or any indemnification obligations or any other remedies existing under the Existing Agreement, in each case, prior to the Effective Date.
15.2Force Majeure. If the performance of any part of this Agreement by a Party (other than making payment when due) is prevented, restricted, interfered with or delayed by any reason or cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party (including: fire, flood, volcano, embargo, power shortage or failure, acts of war, insurrection, riot, terrorism, strike, lockout or other labor disturbance, shortage of raw materials, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, or storm or like catastrophe, acts of God or any acts, omissions or delays in acting of the other Party) or by compliance with any injunction, law, order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand or requirement of any government or of any subdivision, authority or representative of any such government (including changes in the requirements of a Regulatory Authority), whether or not it is later held to be invalid, except to the extent any such injunction,
75
law, order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand or requirement operates to delay or prevent the non-performing Party’s performance as a result of any breach by such Party or any of its Affiliates of any term or condition of this Agreement, the PV Agreement or the Quality Agreement or any breach of Applicable Laws (an event of “Force Majeure”), the Party so affected shall, upon giving written notice to the other Party, be excused from such performance to the extent of such Force Majeure event; provided, that the affected Party shall use its substantial, good faith efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and shall continue performance with the utmost dispatch whenever such causes are removed or it is otherwise able (with Commercially Reasonable Efforts) to perform its obligations.
(a)Notification. If either Party becomes aware that such an event of Force Majeure has occurred, is imminent or likely, it shall immediately notify the other Party.
(b)Keeping the Other Informed. The Party subject to an event of Force Majeure shall keep the other Party informed as to the progress of overcoming or avoiding the effects of such an event of Force Majeure and of recommencing performing the affected obligation.

15.4Further Actions. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to perform all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

Either Party may contract with one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, that the Parties shall remain liable hereunder for the prompt payment and performance of all of their respective obligations hereunder.

In the event a Party performs any of its obligations under this Agreement through a subcontractor, then
76
such Party shall at all times be fully responsible for the performance and payment of such subcontractor. The termination of the engagement of, or termination of the appointment of, any subcontractor of a Party shall not release such Party from any liability or obligation that, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to such Party with respect to the subcontractor, nor will any such termination of such an engagement or termination of an appointment preclude the other Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, with respect to the subcontractor and its acts and omissions.

Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
15.8Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits attached hereto) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and cancels all previous express or implied agreements and understandings, negotiations, writings and commitments, either oral or written, in respect to the subject matter hereof, effective as of the Effective Date, except as provided in Section 15.1.

Nothing in this clause shall, however, operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

This Trademark Assignment (this “Assignment”) is dated as of ____________, [ ] (the “Effective Date”), and is made from Arena Pharmaceuticals GmbH, a company organized under the laws of Switzerland, having a principal place of business at Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx 0, 0000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx (“Assignor”) to [ ], a _________________ (“Assignee”).
WHEREAS, [pursuant to, and upon the terms and conditions of, the Supply Agreement dated as of December 28, 2016 (the “Supply Agreement”), by and among Assignor and [Eisai], ]2 Assignor agreed to sell, convey, assign and transfer to [Eisai], and [Eisai] agreed to, or to cause its affiliates to, accept [certain assets, including] Assignor’s worldwide right, title and interest in, to and under the trademark registrations and trademark applications identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Marks”);
WHEREAS, Assignor is the sole and exclusive owner of the Marks, and
WHEREAS, Assignor desires to transfer and assign to Assignee, and Assignee wishes to acquire and assume from Assignor, the Marks, effective as of the Effective Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Assignment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Assignor does hereby irrevocably assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Assignee effective as of the Effective Date, and Assignee hereby accepts, all of Assignor’s worldwide right, title and interest in and to the Marks, including any common law, statutory and other rights associated therewith, together with the goodwill of the business associated with the use of and symbolized by the Marks related to a country in the [ESI][ECL] Territory (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), and all the registration applications and registrations therefor, and all rights to (i) bring an action, whether at law or in equity, for past, present or future infringement, dilution, misappropriation, misuse or other violation of said Marks against any third party, (ii) any proceeds, benefits, privileges, causes of action, and remedies relating to said Marks and (iii) recover damages, profits and injunctive relief for all past, present or future infringement, dilution, misappropriation, misuse, or other violation of said Marks.

Assignor hereby requests the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks and the corresponding entities or agencies in any other applicable countries to record Assignee as the assignee and owner of said Marks.

Both of the parties hereto shall cooperate with one another and execute and deliver to the other such other instruments and documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the other party hereto as necessary to carry out, evidence and confirm the intended purposes of this Assignment.
[Assignor acknowledges and agrees that the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnitees contained in the Supply Agreement or the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”), dated as of December 28, 2016, by and between 356 Royalty Inc. and [Eisai], shall not be superseded hereby but shall remain in full force and effect to the full extent provided therein.

This Assignment is executed by Assignor and shall be binding upon Assignor, its successors and assigns, for the uses and purposes above set forth and referred to and shall inure to the benefit of Assignee, its successors and assigns.
