Clinical Product after the Clinical Product Transfer to ARIAD or its Affiliates
for use by ARIAD in Clinical Trials, in each case as set forth in Annual Global
Development Plans and Article V hereof. MERCK agrees that ARIAD shall be the
exclusive supplier of Clinical Product before the Clinical Product Transfer and
Clinical API for the Manufacture of Clinical Product before and after Clinical
Product Transfer. ARIAD agrees that MERCK shall be the exclusive
supplier of Clinical Product after the Clinical Product Transfer.
2.4. Determination of Standard
Delivered Form; Product Labels.
(a) The
determination of Standard Delivered Form for Clinical Product and Marketed
Product shall be made by the JDC (with input from the JMC in both cases and with
input from the JCC pursuant to Section 2.3.4(d) of the Collaboration Agreement
in the case of Marketed Product), as follows:
(i) Unless
otherwise determined by the JDC with input from the JMC, for Clinical Product,
Standard Delivered Form shall mean Product in tablet form as determined by the
JDC pursuant to Section 2.5 packaged in Primary Packaging.
(ii) MERCK
shall perform stability testing (in accordance with the Manufacturing
Development sections of the Annual Global Development Plan) on Product in tablet
form (as determined by the JDC pursuant to Section 2.5) stored in Bulk Packaging
and shall report the results of such stability testing to the JMC and
JDC
(iii) If
the JCC, with input from the JMC, determines that the results of such stability
testing demonstrate sufficient bulk hold time for Standard Delivered Form for
Marketed Product to be in Bulk Packaging, then for Marketed Product, Standard
Delivered Form shall mean Product in such tablet form packaged in Bulk
Packaging. If the JCC, with input from the JMC, determines that the
results of such stability testing do not demonstrate sufficient bulk hold time
for Standard Delivered Form for Marketed Product to be in Bulk Packaging, then
for Marketed Product, Standard Delivered Form shall mean Secondary Packaged
Product as set forth in the Specifications for Marketed
Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the JCC, with input from the
JMC, may determine that Standard Delivered form for some or all of Marketed
Product shall be in packaging other than Bulk Packaging or Secondary Packaging,
provided that such other packaging shall comply with the
Specifications.
Confidential Portions of
this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of
the Commission pursuant
to the
Company's application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
16
(b) If
Standard Delivered Form for Marketed Product is determined to be Secondary
Packaged Product, MERCK will be responsible for procuring all packaging and
labeling materials. The JCC, with input from the JMC, will determine
the timing and procedures for design of all labels for Marketed Product so that
such labels can be produced or acquired by MERCK in a timely
manner.
2.5. Decision Making Matters
under this Agreement.
(a) The
determination of (i) the form of tablet of Clinical Product, MERCK Product or
Marketed Product, (ii) modifications to Standard Delivered Form, and (iii) the
Specifications of any API, MERCK Product, Marketed Product or Clinical Product
shall be made by the JDC (in the case of Clinical Product and Clinical API) or
the JCC (in the case of MERCK Product, Marketed Product and Commercial API), in
both cases with input from the JMC, all in accordance with the decision-making
and dispute resolution procedures in the Collaboration Agreement; provided,
however, that the determination of Specifications for Secondary Packaging for
MERCK Product and Primary Packaging for MERCK Product if Standard Delivered Form
is Bulk Packaging shall be made by MERCK and not by the JCC. For the
avoidance of doubt, (i) matters reserved in this Agreement to a particular Party
(such as the right of consent) shall not be JMC, JSC, JDC, or JCC
decision-making matters, and (ii) no decision that is delegated to the JMC, JSC,
JDC or JCC hereunder shall be [***] or a [***].
(b) ARIAD has
previously advised MERCK in writing of the Third Parties currently Manufacturing
rapamycin, API and Clinical Product under agreements with ARIAD. The
Parties agree that such Third Parties are Approved Manufacturers. If
either Party wishes to contract with a Third Party to Manufacture API, Clinical
Product, Marketed Product, MERCK Product or any intermediate of any of them, it
shall give written notice to the JMC which shall identify the Third Party, the
items to be Manufactured by the Third Party and the Third Party’s
qualifications. The JMC shall review the information submitted and
consider the approval of the Manufacture of such item by the Third Party, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If the JMC does not give
written notice of any objection or referral of the matter to the JSC to the
proposing Party within [***] ([***]) days of receipt of written notice from the
proposing Party, the JMC shall be deemed to have approved the proposed Third
Party Manufacturer, which shall be an Approved Manufacturer. If the
JMC gives a written objection to the proposed Third Party Manufacturer or is
unable to reach a decision within such [***] ([***]) day period, the matter
shall be referred to the JSC for resolution in accordance with Section 2.1.5 of
the Collaboration Agreement. If the JSC approves the proposed Third
Party manufacturer, it shall be an Approved Manufacturer.

this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of
the Commission pursuant
to the
Company's application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
17
(c) MERCK and
ARIAD shall establish a Sales and Operations Planning Team (“S&OP Team”),
with an equal (but not less than two (2)) number of representatives from each
Party, who shall be persons with direct responsibility for aspects of the
Manufacture and supply of API, Clinical Product, Marketed Product and MERCK
Product. Each Party shall have the right at any time to substitute
individuals, on a permanent or temporary basis, for its previously designated
representatives on the S&OP Team. The S&OP Team shall meet
monthly and address day-to-day demand management and supply performance and
provide input for resolution of supply shortfalls or other supply
issues. Without limiting the foregoing, MERCK Safety Stock and ARIAD
Safety Stock targets and levels shall be reviewed as part of the monthly
S&OP Team meeting. Proposed changes to any safety stock target
will be submitted to the JCC for review and approval. The S&OP
Team will notify the JMC and JCC of deviations of [***] percent ([***]%) or more
from target safety stock levels. In the event of significant
deviations in safety stock levels from the target, plans shall be developed by
the S&OP Team to return to the target levels within [***] ([***])
days. These plans and progress towards attainment will be
communicated to the JMC and the JCC.
2.6. Failure to Supply Commercial
API or Marketed Product. This Section 2.6 and Section 2.7
shall apply to Commercial API and Marketed Product, and not to Clinical API and
Clinical Product, as set forth in Section 2.10.
(a) (i) If
the Party being supplied (the “Notifying Party”) believes in good faith that a
[***] Delivery Failure (as defined in Section 2.6(d) below) has occurred, the
Notifying Party shall notify the JMC of the [***] Delivery
Failure. The JMC shall promptly determine if a [***] Delivery Failure
has occurred, and if so, shall consider modifications in the Manufacture of
Commercial API or Marketed Product, as the case may be, to potentially eliminate
or mitigate the cause of the [***] Delivery Failure. Each Party shall
propose to the JMC and the Supplying Party all such modifications of which it is
aware. The JMC shall consider such modifications, and if (u) the JMC
determines that any of such modifications that can be implemented by the
Supplying Party (an “Approved Solution”) would potentially eliminate or mitigate
the cause of the [***] Delivery Failure, (v) the Supplying Party agrees to
implement any of the Approved Solutions, and (w) the implementation of the
Approved Solution results in there being no [***] Delivery Failure as a result
of the problem that caused the [***] Delivery Failure addressed by the Approved
Solution in either of the [***] ([***]) Calendar Quarters following
implementation of the Approved Solution, then the [***] Delivery Failure in
question shall not be included in determining whether a Supply Failure has
occurred. If (x) the JMC determines that no modifications have been
proposed which can be Approved Solutions, (y) the JMC determines there is one or
more Approved Solutions but the Supplying Party does not agree to adopt any
Approved Solution, or (z) the Supplying Party adopts an Approved Solution, but a
[***] Delivery Failure occurs in either of the next [***] ([***]) Calendar
Quarters as a result of the problem that caused the [***] Delivery Failure
addressed by the Approved Solution, then the [***] Delivery Failure in question
shall be included in determining if a Supply Failure has occurred.
Confidential Portions of
this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of
the Commission pursuant
to the
Company's application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
18
(ii) In
the event there have been [***] Delivery Failures that will be included in
determining if a Supply Failure has occurred (as set forth in Section 2.6(a)(i))
in any period of [***] ([***]) consecutive Calendar Quarters, and if the
Notifying Party notifies the Supplying Party in writing of a Proposed
Solution (as defined below) which the Supplying Party (as defined below) does
not dispute (as described in Section 2.6(a)(iii)), then the Notifying Party may
begin discussions [***] or take other steps [***] the Proposed Solution, and
[***] from the Notifying Party, the Supplying Party [***] of all [***] by the
Supplying Party that [***] for the Notifying Party to [***] or
[***].
(iii) “Release
Condition” means either (x) the undisputed occurrence of a Supply Failure (as
defined in Section 2.6(d) below) and an undisputed Proposed Solution or (y) in
the event of a disputed occurrence of a Supply Failure and/or a disputed
Proposed Solution, a final decision (as set forth below in this Section 2.6(a))
that a Supply Failure has occurred and the Proposed Solution is
acceptable. If the Notifying Party in good faith believes that a
Supply Failure has occurred, the Notifying Party shall provide written notice to
the other Party (the “Supplying Party”) within [***] ([***]) days of the
occurrence of the [***] Delivery Failure which is included in the determination
of the Supply Failure (the “Release Notice”). The Release
Notice shall set forth (i) the existence of such Supply Failure and (ii) a
proposed modification to the Manufacture of Commercial API or Marketed Product,
as the case may be, to eliminate the cause of the Supply Failure which [***] but
either (i) [***] or (ii) the [***] after it has been determined by the JMC to be
an Approved Solution (a “Proposed Solution”). Upon receipt of said
Release Notice, the Supplying Party shall have [***] ([***]) days to notify the
Notifying Party in writing that it disputes either the Supply Failure or the
Proposed Solution (including, without limitation, a dispute as to
[***], a dispute as to [***] or a dispute as to [***] is [***] that
the [***] has not [***]) (the “Dispute Notice”). If the Supplying
Party delivers such Dispute Notice within the [***] ([***]) day period, the
matter shall be referred to the JSC for resolution as set forth in Section 2.1.5
of the Collaboration Agreement. If the Supplying Party does not
deliver a Dispute Notice within such [***] ([***]) day period, or if the
Supplying Party notifies the Notifying Party that it does not dispute either the
Supply Failure or the Proposed Solution, the existence of a Release Condition
shall be deemed undisputed and Notifying Party shall be entitled to proceed
under Section 2.6(b).

19
(b) If
a Release Condition is determined to have occurred in accordance with Section
2.6(a), then, upon [***] ([***]) days prior written notice to the Supplying
Party given within [***] ([***]) days after the Release Condition is determined
to have occurred, the Notifying Party shall have the right to Manufacture
itself, through its Affiliates or by engaging an Approved Manufacturer, (i)
Commercial API in the case where MERCK is the Notifying Party, or (ii) Marketed
Product in the case where ARIAD is the Notifying Party, in each case in
accordance with this Section 2.6. If a Notifying Party exercises its
right under this Section 2.6(b) to Manufacture Commercial API or Marketed
Product, the Supplying Party shall:
(i) (x) If
ARIAD is the Supplying Party, grant to MERCK a non-exclusive, non-transferable,
non-sublicensable (except to Affiliates or Approved Manufacturers) license under
ARIAD’s interest in the Licensed Patent Rights and Licensed Technology and
transfer copies of all Manufacturing Know-How Controlled by ARIAD and embodying
such Licensed Technology and Licensed Patent Rights that are at the time of the
Release Notice being used by ARIAD, its Affiliates or its Approved Manufacturers
to Manufacture Commercial API, (the "ARIAD API Manufacturing
Know-How") solely to Manufacture or have Manufactured by MERCK, its
Affiliates or their or Approved Manufacturer(s), Commercial API for use in the
Manufacture of Marketed Product and MERCK Product or as otherwise permitted
hereunder or under the Collaboration Agreement, or (y) if MERCK is the Supplying

Company's application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
21
(iii) Use
commercially reasonable efforts to promptly assist the Notifying Party in
obtaining all necessary Regulatory Approvals and/or modifying existing
Regulatory Approvals for the Manufacture of Marketed Product, MERCK Product to
the extent set forth in Section 2.7 or Commercial API, as the case may be, by
the Notifying Party, its Affiliates or such Approved
Manufacturer(s).
(iv) Cooperate
with the Notifying Party, cause its Affiliates to cooperate with the Notifying
Party and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Approved
Manufacturers to cooperate with the Notifying Party in order to accomplish the
transfer to the Notifying Party of similar rights as held by the Supplying Party
or its Affiliates under its Approved Manufacturer agreements.
(v) To the
extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, allow the Notifying Party,
its Affiliates or such Approved Manufacturer(s) to cross reference the Supplying
Party’s or its suppliers’ DMFs or such other regulatory submissions controlled
by the Supplying Party applicable to the applicable Materials, Commercial API,
Marketed Product or MERCK Product, as the case may be, if any; provide the
Notifying Party with the information with respect to such Commercial API,
Marketed Product, MERCK Product and Materials, to the extent necessary for
registering the Notifying Party’s Facility as an approved Manufacturing site for
Commercial API, Marketed Product, or MERCK Product, as the case may be, and to
otherwise reasonably enable the Notifying Party to exercise, as expeditiously as
possible, its Manufacturing rights under this Section 2.6; and, at the request
of the Notifying Party, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
suppliers to supply to the Notifying Party any applicable Materials required by
the Notifying Party to Manufacture Commercial API, Marketed Product, or MERCK
Product, as the case may be, on substantially the same terms and conditions as
are applicable to the supply of such Materials to the Supplying

Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
22
(c) Notwithstanding the
Notifying Party’s exercise of its rights to Manufacture the Commercial API or
Marketed Product, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.6(b) (i) the
Supplying Party shall continue to have the right (including under licenses from
the Notifying Party) to Manufacture any Commercial API or Marketed Product, as
the case may be, and to the extent the Supplying Party is able to Manufacture
any Commercial API or Marketed Product, as the case may be, the Notifying Party
may, in its discretion, purchase from Supplying Party Commercial API or Marketed
Product, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement until such time as the Notifying Party or the Approved Manufacturer(s)
selected by Notifying Party is able to Manufacture all of its requirements of
Commercial API or Marketed Product in accordance with Specified Regulatory
Requirements and the Specifications. In such event, the Notifying Party shall
pay the Manufacturing Cost for the quantities of Commercial API or Marketed
Product purchased from the Supplying Party on the terms set forth
herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Notifying Party
elects to Manufacture or have Manufactured the Commercial API or Marketed
Product, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.6, Notifying Party shall
not be obligated to pay to the Supplying Party any consideration under this
Agreement with respect to the Commercial API or Marketed Product, as the case
may be, so Manufactured by Notifying Party, its Affiliates or its Approved
Manufacturer(s).
(d) A “Supply
Failure” shall occur if the Supplying Party fails to supply by the
specified delivery dates set forth in Firm Orders at least [***] percent
([***]%) of the aggregate quantity (not including any excess quantities
requested by the Notifying Party) of Commercial API or Marketed
Product, as the case may be, specified in all such Firm Orders
submitted by the Notifying Party in accordance with Section 5.3 during a [***],
meeting the warranties set forth in Section 6.1 (when ARIAD is the Manufacturing
Party) or Section 6.2 (when MERCK is the Manufacturing Party) in any [***]
([***]) out of [***] ([***]) consecutive Calendar Quarters (such failure in any
[***] being referred to herein as a “[***] Delivery
Failure”). For clarity, any [***] Delivery Failure caused by a
shortage of any Materials normally purchased by the Supplying Party from a Third
Party, or because an Approved Manufacturer is not supplying API or Marketed
Product or any intermediate thereof in conformity with the requirements of this
Agreement, shall be included in determining whether a Supply Failure has
occurred unless such [***] Delivery Failure is excluded pursuant to
Section 2.6(a)(i).

this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of
the Commission pursuant
to the
Company's application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
23
(e) In the event that
MERCK initiates the Manufacture of Commercial API pursuant to this Section 2.6
and makes any improvements to the Manufacture of Commercial API and such
improvements would be treated as Product Technology under the Collaboration
Agreement, then MERCK shall transfer all right, title and interest in such
improvements to ARIAD and such improvements shall be subject to the licenses
granted to MERCK under the Collaboration Agreement. If such
improvements would not be treated as Product Technology under the Collaboration
Agreement, MERCK shall grant to ARIAD a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-fee,
worldwide license with the right to grant sublicenses to such improvements that
are made by MERCK during the term of this Agreement and during the [***] ([***])
year period following termination of this Agreement.
2.7. Sale of Commercial API or
Marketed Product by the Notifying Party to the Supplying
Party.
(a) If
the Notifying Party exercises the right to Manufacture Commercial API or
Marketed Product, as the case may be, or have Commercial API or Marketed Product
Manufactured pursuant to Section 2.6, then the Supplying Party shall have the
right to purchase from the Notifying Party Commercial API or Marketed Product,
as applicable, at the Manufacturing Cost thereof (i) in the case of the purchase
of Commercial API by ARIAD, for use and sale in the Field in the ARIAD Territory
and for sale by ARIAD to any ARIAD Medical Device Collaborators for use and sale
in the field of Medical Devices (it being understood that, at ARIAD’s request,
MERCK will ship Commercial API purchased by ARIAD directly to ARIAD’s Medical
Device Collaborators) (for clarity, if MERCK exercises the right to Manufacture
Commercial API then API supplied by MERCK to ARIAD for use in the Development
Program shall be treated as Clinical API hereunder and Commercial API supplied
by MERCK shall only be used for sale by ARIAD to ARIAD Medical Device
Collaborators), or (ii) in the case of the purchase of Marketed Product by
MERCK, for use and sale in the Field in the MERCK Territory, in each case
pursuant to, or as permitted by, the Collaboration Agreement; provided, however,
that the Notifying Party shall not be obligated to supply Commercial API or
Marketed Product to the Supplying Party until the Notifying Party is able to
Manufacture all of the Notifying Party's requirements of Commercial API or
Marketed Product in accordance with the Specifications and the Specified
Regulatory Requirements, and the Notifying Party shall be obligated to supply
Commercial API or Marketed Product only to the extent the Notifying Party has
the capacity to supply the Supplying Party and, if the Notifying Party agrees to
increase capacity to supply the Supplying Party, any costs incurred by the
Notifying Party to increase its capacity shall be treated as a Development
Cost.
Confidential Portions of
this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of
the Commission pursuant
to the
Company's application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
24
If the
Supplying Party wishes to so purchase Commercial API or Marketed Product, as the
case may be, the Supplying Party shall give [***] days ([***]) days advance
written notice of such desire to the Notifying Party, whereupon to the extent
the Notifying Party has the capacity to supply the Supplying Party, the terms of
this Agreement and the applicable Quality Agreement(s) shall apply to the
Parties with their roles reversed; in such case the words “MERCK” and “ARIAD”
shall be deemed to be interchanged, (except for such references in Section 2.7
(a) (i) to the Sale of Commercial API to ARIAD's Medical Device Collaborators in
which case such references to ARIAD shall not be interchanged with references to
MERCK) and all rights and obligations of Supplying Party shall become rights and
obligations of the Notifying Party, and all rights and obligations of the
Notifying Party shall become rights and obligations of the Supplying Party under
both this Agreement and the applicable Quality Agreement(s) (i.e., MERCK shall
be the supplier of Commercial API, or ARIAD shall be the supplier of Marketed
Product); provided, however, that the exclusivity commitments in Sections 2.1
and 2.2 shall not apply to the Parties with their roles reversed. For
the avoidance of doubt, “Marketed Product” supplied to MERCK by ARIAD pursuant
to this Section 2.7 shall be “MERCK Product” for sale in the MERCK Territory and
accordingly, if ARIAD supplies Product to MERCK for sale in the MERCK Territory,
references in such case to “Marketed Product” (including without limitation
references to “Marketed Product” with respect to warranties and warranty claims
in Article VI) shall be deemed to be references to MERCK
Product, provided that ARIAD shall have no obligation to supply MERCK Product
except in such form of tablet for Marketed Product as the JCC may determine
pursuant to Section 2.5, in Standard Delivered Form, which, if delivered in Bulk
Packaging, will be further Primary Packaged and Secondary Packaged by MERCK, its
Affiliates or Approved Manufacturers.

this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of
the Commission pursuant
to the
Company's application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
25
(b) If
ARIAD is the Supplying Party, and ARIAD desires to purchase from MERCK
Commercial API for sale to any ARIAD Medical Device Collaborator(s) for use and
sale in the field of Medical Devices after MERCK exercises its right to
Manufacture Commercial API pursuant to Section 2.6, then (i) if MERCK outsources
the Manufacture of Commercial API or key intermediates for Manufacture of
Commercial API to an Approved Manufacturer, MERCK shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such Approved Manufacturer, to agree with ARIAD to
sell Commercial API or such key intermediates for Manufacture of Commercial API
(meeting the same Specifications as the Commercial API or key intermediates sold
to MERCK for use in Marketed Product and MERCK Product) to ARIAD at [***] price
[***] Commercial API or key intermediates for Manufacture of Commercial API to
MERCK or at such other price as ARIAD and such Approved Manufacturer may agree
upon, and (ii) if (a) MERCK or its Affiliates Manufactures Commercial API, or
(b) ARIAD and the Approved Manufacturer do not agree on the sale to ARIAD of
Commercial API or key intermediates for the Manufacture of Commercial API, then,
subject to ARIAD’s indemnification as set forth in Section 12.3, MERCK shall
supply Commercial API or such key intermediates to ARIAD at [***] for sale by
ARIAD to ARIAD Medical Device Collaborators; provided, that in no event will
MERCK be required to supply to ARIAD for sale to its Medical Device
Collaborators in any Calendar Year, more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the
total amount of Commercial API or such key intermediate Manufactured by MERCK or
purchased by MERCK from Approved Manufacturers in such Calendar
Year. For clarity, any Commercial API supplied by MERCK to ARIAD for
sale to ARIAD’s Medical Device Collaborators shall be the same as the Commercial
API used in the Manufacture of Marketed Product and MERCK
Product. MERCK shall have no obligation to modify Commercial API or
make any changes in the Manufacture of Commercial API to comply with
requirements of ARIAD’s Medical Device Collaborators.
(c) If
ARIAD purchases Commercial API from MERCK for sale by ARIAD to any ARIAD Medical
Device Collaborator(s), then if ARIAD becomes aware of any Adverse Event or
other safety issue reportable to any Regulatory Authority relating to the use of
any Medical Device Manufactured by any ARIAD Medical Device Collaborator
containing Commercial API, ARIAD shall notify the JDC and MERCK and furnish to
the JDC and MERCK, in accordance with the provisions applicable to [***] under
the [***] approved by the JDC, as amended from time-to-time, such information
with respect thereto as (i) ARIAD possesses and can properly disclose
to MERCK and the JDC; provided however that in the event that ARIAD cannot
properly disclose (due to confidentiality and/or privacy issues with third
parties) that ARIAD will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent
from such third party for such disclosure; or (ii) is required by applicable law
to disclose.

2.8. ARIAD Medical Device
Collaborators. ARIAD has advised MERCK that ARIAD has granted
to the ARIAD Medical Device Collaborators, and may hereafter grant to future
ARIAD Medical Device Collaborators, (i) a right to reference all DMFs filed by
ARIAD or its collaborators (including MERCK, its Affiliates and its Approved
Manufacturers) relating to the use of API in cancer or other indications, and
(ii) in the event ARIAD fails to supply API to any such ARIAD Medical Device
Collaborator, a right to have access to, and a copy of, all such DMFs and a
right to use all technology included therein for the manufacture of API solely
for use in Medical Devices. MERCK hereby agrees that, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and regulations, in the event MERCK or any Affiliate
or Approved Manufacturer of MERCK files any DMF for the Manufacture of API with
any regulatory authority, MERCK will [***] (and will [***] or [***] to [***]) to
such DMF to [***] and a [***] all [***] for the [***] solely for use of [***],
and that in the event ARIAD is [***] to [***], any such DMF to any of the [***],
MERCK will [***] of such DMF to [***] (if it has not already done so) and [***]
and [***] to [***] of such DMF to [***] and hereby [***]D (and will [***] and
[***] to [***]) to [***] to each of the [***].
2.9. Joint Manufacturing
Committee. Pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Collaboration
Agreement the Parties have established a Joint Manufacturing Committee (“JMC”) for the
Collaboration. For convenience, the provisions of Section 2.4 of the
Collaboration Agreement are set forth in Schedule 2.9 of this
Agreement, together with a list of additional responsibilities given to the JMC
in this Agreement, which schedule shall be automatically updated if any
amendments are made to Section 2.4 of the Collaboration Agreement to conform to
such amendments.
2.10. Supply of Clinical Product
and Clinical API. The Parties shall use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to supply Clinical API and Clinical Product in accordance
with this Agreement. The supply of Clinical API and Clinical Product

Expiry. MERCK shall Deliver to ARIAD Marketed Product that, at
the time of Delivery to ARIAD, has a minimum of [***] percent ([***]%) of shelf
life as set forth in the applicable Specifications at the time of its
Manufacture remaining; provided, that if MERCK has quantities of Marketed
Product with less than [***] percent ([***]%) of such shelf life remaining,
MERCK may notify ARIAD and the Parties will discuss the possible use of such
Marketed Product. Neither Party will unreasonably withhold consent
for a commercially reasonable use proposed by the other Party that complies with
all Specified Regulatory Requirements in the jurisdiction in which the Marketed
Product is proposed to be used. Furthermore, MERCK will use
commercially reasonable efforts to perform studies intended to extend shelf life
as determined by the JMC. The Development Cost of these studies shall
be borne equally by the Parties unless they are specifically required for the
MERCK Territory, in which event they shall be borne by MERCK.

therefor as set forth in the applicable Specifications at the time of its
Manufacture (the “Retest Period”); provided, that if ARIAD has quantities of
Commercial API with less than [***] percent ([***]%) of the Retest Period
remaining, ARIAD may notify MERCK and the Parties will discuss the possible use
of such Commercial API. Neither Party will unreasonably withhold
consent for a commercially reasonable use proposed by the other Party that
complies with all Specified Regulatory Requirements in the jurisdiction in which
the Commercial API is proposed to be used. Furthermore, ARIAD will
use commercially reasonable efforts to perform studies intended to extend the
Commercial API Retest Period as determined by the JMC. The
Development Cost of these studies shall be borne equally by the Parties unless
they are specifically required for the ROW Territory, in which event they shall
be borne by MERCK.

6.3. Claims Relating to Clinical
API and Clinical Product. If either Party believes that
Clinical API or Clinical Product Delivered hereunder does not meet the
warranties set forth in Section 6.1 or 6.2, such Party shall notify the other
Party and the JDC. The JDC shall resolve the matter pursuant to
Section 2.2.5 of the Collaboration Agreement. The delivery of

shall not be a breach of the Collaboration Agreement.
6.4. Warranty
Claims.
(a) Except as
set forth in Section 6.4(b), claims by MERCK that Commercial API or
Marketed Product (in the event of the supply of Marketed Product by
ARIAD to MERCK under Section 2.7) did not meet the warranties set forth in 6.1
or claims by ARIAD that Marketed Product did not meet the warranties set forth
in 6.2 above (each a "Disputed Product" and
each Party making a warranty claim under this Section 6.4 a "Disputing Party")
shall be made within sixty (60) days following Delivery of such Disputed Product
and must be in writing specifying in reasonable detail the nature and basis of
the claim and citing the relevant control number or other information to enable
identification of the Disputed Product in question.
(b) In the
case of latent defects that are not readily ascertainable upon Delivery by

Business Days from the earlier of (i) the date of discovery of such latent
defect, (ii) the date that is [***] ([***]) Months prior to the expiration of
the shelf life of the Delivered Marketed Product (whether supplied by MERCK to
ARIAD or supplied by ARIAD to MERCK under Section 2.7) or in the case of
Delivered Commercial API, the Marketed Product or MERCK Product incorporating
such Commercial API, or (iii) in the case of Delivered Commercial API that is
not incorporated into a Marketed Product or a MERCK Product, [***] ([***])
months prior to the end of the Retest Period of such Commercial API to make a
claim that such Commercial API or Marketed Product (whether supplied by MERCK to
ARIAD or supplied by ARIAD to MERCK under Section 2.7) did not meet the
warranties set forth in Section 6.1 (in the case of Commercial API) or Section
6.2 (in the case of Marketed Product). Subject to Section 6.4(c) and
6.4(d), such Disputed Product shall be treated as non-conforming Commercial API
or Marketed Product (whether supplied by MERCK to ARIAD or supplied by ARIAD to
MERCK under Section 2.7).

46
(c) If MERCK
and ARIAD are unable to agree as to whether the Disputed Product met the
applicable warranty set forth in Section 6.1(ii) or Section 6.2(ii), as the case
may be, the Parties shall cooperate to have the Disputed Product analyzed by an
independent testing laboratory of recognized repute selected by the Disputing
Party and approved by the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The results of such laboratory testing shall be final and
binding on the Parties on the issue of compliance of the Disputed Product with
such warranty. If the Disputed Product is determined to meet such
warranty, then the Disputing Party shall bear the cost of the independent
laboratory testing and pay for the Disputed Product in accordance with this
Agreement. If the Disputed Product is determined not to have met such
warranty, then (i) the Manufacturing Party shall bear the cost of laboratory
testing, (ii) at the Disputing Party's election shall replace the rejected
Commercial API or Marketed Product (whether supplied by MERCK to ARIAD or
supplied by ARIAD to MERCK under Section 2.7), within a commercially reasonable
time of the date of such determination, at no cost to the Disputing Party, or
refund to the Disputing Party the price paid for such Commercial API or Marketed
Product, plus any applicable delivery charge paid by the Disputing Party, (iii)
if the Disputed Product is Commercial API that has been incorporated into MERCK
Product or Marketed Product that has not yet been delivered to ARIAD or has been
delivered to ARIAD but not yet paid for, ARIAD shall reimburse MERCK for the
Manufacturing Cost of such MERCK Product or Marketed Product (but in the case of
Marketed Product that has been delivered but not yet paid for, ARIAD shall not
be required to pay the invoice for such Marketed Product if ARIAD reimburses
MERCK for the Manufacturing Cost of such Marketed Product), and (iv) if the
Disputed Product is Marketed Product and it has been delivered in Bulk
Packaging, MERCK shall reimburse ARIAD for the cost of placing the Marketed
Product in Primary or Secondary Packaging. If it is not determined
that the Disputed Product failed to meet such warranty as a result of the
failure of the Supplying Party to Manufacture and ship the Disputed Product in
accordance with the Specified Regulatory Requirements and the applicable
Specifications, then the cost of the Disputed Product shall be a [***], which,
in the case of Disputed Product that is Commercial API, shall be allocated by
the JCC between [***] in the ARIAD Territory and the MERCK Territory based on
the intended use thereof.

(d) If the
Disputing Party claims that any shipment of Disputed Product did not meet the
warranties specified in (i) Section 6.1(i) or (iii) with respect to Commercial
API Delivered by ARIAD, or (ii) Section 6.2(i) or (iii) with respect to Marketed
Product Delivered by MERCK, if MERCK and ARIAD are unable to agree as to whether
or not such Disputed Product met such warranties, the dispute shall be settled
in accordance with the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 12.1 of the
Collaboration Agreement. If the Disputed Product is determined to
meet such warranty, then the Disputing Party shall pay for the Disputed Product
in accordance with this Agreement. If the Disputed Product is
determined not to have met the warranty in Section 6.1(i) or is
determined not to have met the warranty in Section 6.1(iii) as a result of a
failure of the Supplying Party to Manufacture and ship the Disputed Product in
accordance with the Specified Regulatory Requirements and the applicable
Specifications, then (i) the Manufacturing Party at the Disputing Party's
election shall replace the rejected Commercial API or Marketed Product (whether
supplied by MERCK to ARIAD or supplied by ARIAD to MERCK under Section 2.7),
within a commercially reasonable time from the date of such determination, at no
cost to the Disputing Party, or refund to the Disputing Party the price paid for
such Commercial API or Marketed Product (whether supplied by MERCK to ARIAD or
supplied by ARIAD to MERCK under Section 2.7), plus any applicable delivery
charge paid by the Disputing Party, (ii) if the Disputed Product is Commercial
API that has been incorporated into MERCK Product or Marketed Product that has
not yet been delivered to ARIAD, ARIAD shall reimburse MERCK for the
Manufacturing Cost of such MERCK Product or Marketed Product, and (iii) if the
Disputed Product is Marketed Product and it has been delivered in Bulk
Packaging, MERCK shall reimburse ARIAD for the cost of placing the Marketed
Product in Primary or Secondary Packaging. If it is not determined
that the Disputed Product failed to meet the warranty in Section 6.1(i) or
failed to meet the warranty in Section 6.1(iii) as a result of the failure of
the Supplying Party to Manufacture and ship the Disputed Product in accordance
with the Specified Regulatory Requirements and the applicable Specifications,
then the cost of the Disputed Product shall be a [***], which, in the case of
Disputed Product that is Commercial API, shall be allocated by the JCC between
[***] in the ARIAD Territory and the MERCK Territory based on the intended use
thereof.

(e) Any
Commercial API or Marketed Product which fails to meet the warranties under
Sections 6.1 or 6.2 as applicable and which is in the Disputing Party's control
shall, at the Manufacturing Party’s option, either be returned to the
Manufacturing Party at the Manufacturing Party's expense, or shall be destroyed
pursuant to the Manufacturing Party's instructions and with the Disputing
Party's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the
Manufacturing Party's expense.
(f) For the
avoidance of doubt, the Manufacturing Party of the Disputed Product in question
shall not be obligated to replace the Disputed Product or credit the Disputing
Party if at the time of discovery of the alleged failure to meet a warranty, the
Disputed Product in question has less than [***] ([***]) Months of remaining
shelf life or, in the case where Commercial API is the Disputed Product, [***]
([***]) Months until the end of its Retest Period, or if the Commercial API has
been incorporated in a Disputed Product, [***] ([***]) Months of remaining shelf
life on the Marketed Product or MERCK Product incorporating such
Commercial API.

Any payment by either Party under the
two preceding paragraphs shall be included in the calculation of Operating
Income (Loss) in the U.S. Territory under the Collaboration
Agreement.
If the Parties determine that periodic
calculations and payments on the schedule set forth above are not necessary, the
Parties may agree upon an annual or other schedule for adjustments between
Standard Manufacturing Cost and actual Manufacturing Cost.
(b) Pursuant
to this Section 7.3(b), each Party shall be permitted to audit (the "Auditing Party") the
other Party's Manufacturing Cost. Upon the written request of the Auditing
Party, the Manufacturing Party shall permit an independent certified public
accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by and retained at
the expense of the Auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the Manufacturing
Party, to have access during normal working hours and upon reasonable advance
notice, to the relevant books and records kept by the Manufacturing Party to the
extent reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the Manufacturing Cost
invoices prepared by Manufacturing Party. Such examination shall not
be more often than once each Calendar Year and shall cover Manufacturing Cost
invoices for any Calendar Year ending not more than [***] ([***]) Months prior
to the date of such request. MERCK and ARIAD agree that the report of
the above examination by the certified public accounting firm to the Auditing
Party shall disclose only whether the Manufacturing Cost invoices are correct or
incorrect and the amount of any discrepancy and shall be delivered to both
Parties simultaneously. If such certified public accounting firm
identifies a discrepancy in an invoice for a Manufacturing Cost during such
period, the appropriate Party shall pay the other Party the amount of the
discrepancy within [***] ([***]) days of the date the Auditing Party delivers to
the Parties such certified public accounting firm’s written report so
concluding, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. The fees charged by such
certified public accounting firm shall be paid by Auditing Party, provided, however, that if such
audit uncovers an overpayment of Manufacturing Cost by the Auditing Party that
exceeds the lesser of (i) [***] US dollars ($[***]) or (ii) [***] percent
([***]%) of the total Manufacturing Cost owed by such Auditing Party for any
Calendar Year, then the fees of such certified public accounting firm shall be
paid by the Manufacturing Party. Unless the Auditing Party institutes
an audit with respect to any Calendar Year in accordance with this Section
7.3(b), within [***] ([***]) Months following the end of such Calendar Year, the
calculation of the Manufacturing Cost for such Calendar Year shall be binding
upon Auditing Party, and the Manufacturing Party shall be released from any
liability or accountability with respect to such Manufacturing Cost for such
Calendar Year. The Auditing Party shall treat all financial
information subject to review under this Article 7 in accordance with the
confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Agreement and shall cause its
certified public accounting firm to enter into a reasonable and customary
confidentiality agreement with the Manufacturing Party obligating it to retain
all such information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality
agreement.

to also assess whether the use at such facility of any chemical entity
classified within the Restricted Category will potentially present any
cross-contamination issue for the Marketed Product or MERCK Product and could be
in violation of Specified Regulatory Requirements. In the event the
JMC identifies a potential problem of cross-contamination or with
Regulatory Authority requirements that would prohibit the activity, the JMC will
meet to implement further measures (procedural or segregation) that may be
necessary to address potential cross-contamination issues. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither MERCK nor its Approved Manufacturers shall manufacture,
formulate or package Marketed Product or MERCK Product in any facility that the
JMC reasonably determines to present cross-contamination problems for Marketed
Product or MERCK Product. Any planned changes regarding the use of
"Restricted Category" chemical entities within any Facility will be notified to
ARIAD through the agreed change control processes set forth in Section
8.4. "Restricted Categories" means any [***] or other [***] such as
[***], or other [***] in the Facilities. The term “Live Agent” means
a [***] a [***] that [***], including, but not limited to, [***], and

Clinical Product or any intermediate of API or Clinical Product, or (b) if
"Restricted Category" chemical entities are used to produce, package, label,
warehouse, quality control test (including in-process, release and stability
testing), release or ship at the Facility at which it will Manufacture API or
Clinical Product or any intermediate of API or Clinical Product, notify the JMC
in writing and provide a declaration from the Third Party that such use (i)
complies with all applicable cGMP requirements, (ii) will cause no potential
problem of cross-contamination with API or Clinical Product, and (iii) will
not violate any applicable Specified Regulatory Requirements that would prohibit
such use in such facility. If requested, ARIAD will obtain from the
Third Party and will provide to the JMC a summary of the Third Party’s
procedures, controls, and cleaning methods that will be implemented to address
any cross-contamination issues, as well as such other reasonable information
(excluding any third party confidential information which the Third Party is not
permitted to disclose after it has used reasonable efforts to obtain such
permission) to allow the JMC to also assess whether the use at such facility of
any chemical entity classified within the Restricted Category will potentially
present any cross-contamination issue for the API or Clinical Product and could
be in violation of Specified Regulatory Requirements. In the event
the JMC identifies a potential problem of cross-contamination or with
Specified Regulatory Requirements that would prohibit the activity, the JMC will
meet to implement further measures (procedural or segregation) that may be
necessary to address potential cross-contamination
issues. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither ARIAD nor its Approved
Manufacturers shall manufacture, formulate or package API or Clinical Product in
any facility that the JMC reasonably determines to present cross-contamination
problems for API or Clinical Product. Any planned changes regarding
the use of "Restricted Category" chemical entities within any Facility will be
notified to MERCK through the agreed change control processes set forth in
Section 8.4. "Restricted Categories" means any [***] or other [***]
such as [***], or other [***] in the Facilities. The term “Live
Agent” means a [***] a [***] that [***], including, but not limited to,
[***].

requiring the record retention.
8.3. Additional Regulatory
Requirements. If either Party believes that compliance with
cGMPs or other laws, rules, guidelines or regulations of a Regulatory Authority
of any jurisdiction other than the FDA, the EMEA, the ICH, [***] is required to
comply with the Specified Regulatory Requirements are required, it will notify
the other Party. The JMC shall promptly meet to review the matter and
shall develop a plan to achieve compliance therewith in the relevant
jurisdiction. Each Party will contribute expertise and technology to
the development and implementation of such plan. All expenses of
compliance with laws, rules, guidelines or regulations of a Regulatory Authority

10.11. Effect of
Acquisition. (a) In the event of an Acquisition of ARIAD
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in which this Agreement is assigned to an entity other
than ARIAD, if the surviving entity to which this Agreement is assigned does not
have knowledge and experience in operating under FDA and EMEA regulations at
least equivalent to the knowledge and experience of ARIAD, or then a Release
Condition will be deemed to have occurred, and MERCK shall have the right to
Manufacture Commercial API as set forth in Section 2.6(b). If MERCK
