(b) Responses to Medical Inquiries. Each Party shall (i) apply its standard guidelines and procedures for determining and providing appropriate responses to medical inquiries about the Combination Product in the Territory, including assigning responsibilities for medical communications and (ii) to the extent determined appropriate by a Party, develop a set of standard response documents for use by such Party in responding to medical inquiries about the Combination Product in the Territory.

Each Party may make its standard response documents for the Territory available to the other Party and the other Party may, in its sole discretion, elect to use or adapt the providing Party’s standard response documents in connection with the receiving Party’s response to medical inquiries in the Territory, subject to the receiving Party’s ensuring that such documents that it elects to use or adapt comply with Applicable Law. If at any time a Party has concerns about the other Party’s procedures for responding to medical inquiries about the Combination Product in the Territory or standard response documents for use in responding to medical inquiries about the Combination Product in the Territory, the concerned Party may refer the matter to the Alliance Managers and the Alliance Managers shall facilitate discussion and resolution of such concerns.

UNDER 17 C.F.R. §§ 200.80 (b)(4) AND 230.406
Option Country(ies) in the Field, in each case during the term of this Agreement, and (b) in connection therewith, sell to Tibotec the Combination Product in bulk or unlabeled bottle form (each such agreement, a “Tibotec Distributor Agreement”) or, if Tibotec does not desire to serve as a distributor of the Combination Product in such country, amendments to this Agreement that would allow Gilead to be the Selling Party with respect to such country. In the event that, following such period of exclusive negotiation, the Parties enter into a Tibotec Distributor Agreement with respect to any Option Country(ies) identified in the Option Notice, Tibotec shall become the Selling Party with respect to such country(ies). Neither Party may conduct Commercialization Activities in any Option Country prior to becoming the Selling Party with respect to such Option Country pursuant to this Section 6.1 or otherwise by mutual agreement of the Parties in writing.
6.2 Commercialization Activities.
(a) Diligence. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Selling Party shall have the right to perform Commercialization Activities with respect to the countries for which it is the Selling Party. The Selling Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform Commercialization Activities, including Premarket Launch Activities, with respect to the United States and the European Union. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Selling Party have the right to perform or be required to perform any Commercialization Activities (other than (i) Premarket Launch Activities and (ii) seeking pricing and reimbursement approvals in anticipation of Launch) unless and until Launch in such country is permitted by Section 7 and Annex R (each such country, a “Permitted Launch Country”). In determining whether the Selling Party is using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform Commercialization Activities in a particular country, it shall be taken into account whether the Combination Product is priced competitively within such country. To the extent that Section 7 and Annex R do not permit the Selling Party to set a competitive price (without reducing its portion of the revenue of the Combination Product), or, in a Price Approval Country, the Selling Party is unable to obtain a competitive price, the Selling Party shall not be deemed to have breached its obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts if it does not use efforts equivalent to those that would have been deemed to constitute Commercially Reasonable Efforts had the price of the Combination Product been competitive and if it is not possible to set such a competitive price, the Selling Party shall have the right to suspend some or all of its Commercialization Activities, in its sole discretion.
(b) Specific Commercialization Obligations. Without limitation of Section 6.2(a), Gilead agrees to the following solely with respect to each of the Major Markets:
(i) Commencing as of the later of Approval or Launch of the Combination Product in the applicable country until the earlier of [*], whichever comes first (such period, the “Launch Period”), Gilead shall ensure (and certify in writing each Calendar Quarter) that the incentive compensation provided by Gilead each Calendar Quarter with respect to the Combination Product to each of the sales representatives of Gilead who are responsible for Detailing the Combination Product in one or more Major Market satisfies the following criteria:

(ii) For each Major Market, Gilead shall (A) achieve [*] Aided Physician Awareness (as defined in Annex F) on or about the first anniversary of the later of Approval or Launch of the Combination Product in such country, (B) achieve [*] Aided Physician Awareness on or about the second anniversary of such Launch or Approval, as applicable and (C) maintain [*] Aided Physician Awareness for the remainder of the Launch Period (which level of Aided Physician Awareness, unless waived by Tibotec in writing, shall be demonstrated by Gilead annually on or about each subsequent anniversary of such Launch or Approval, as applicable, during the Launch Period). The method for determining whether the applicable level of Aided Physician Awareness has been achieved is set forth on Annex F.
(iii) In each Major Market, for each Detailing Year (as defined below), through the Calendar Quarter that includes the last day of the Launch Period, Gilead shall perform the number of Details of the Combination Product, [*], as set forth on Annex F. Gilead shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that the number of such Details for each Major Market in each Calendar Quarter of each Detailing Year is no less than [*] of the number of Details required for such Detailing Year. Gilead shall certify in writing its compliance with this Section 6.2(b)(iii) on a quarterly basis. A “Detailing Year” for a Major Market shall mean (A) in the case of the first Detailing Year, the period beginning on the first day of the first full Calendar Quarter after the later to occur of the Launch or Approval of the Combination Product in such Major Market through the end of the Calendar Year in which such Launch or Approval, as applicable, occurs (in which case, Gilead’s obligations under this paragraph with respect to such Detailing Year shall be prorated accordingly), and (B) in the case of each other Detailing Year, the Calendar Year following the prior Detailing Year, until the end of the Calendar Quarter that includes the last day of the Launch Period (and in the case of the last Detailing Year with respect to a Major Market, Gilead’s obligations under this paragraph with respect to such Detailing Year shall be prorated accordingly).
(iv) Gilead acknowledges and agrees that Gilead’s achievement of each and all of the requirements in subsections (i) through (iii) of this Section 6.2(b) (the “Specific Targets”) with respect to each Major Market country goes to the root of this Agreement and is an essential element of this Agreement, and that Gilead’s failure to substantially achieve each or any of the Specific Targets with respect to a Major Market country is a Material Breach that entitles Tibotec to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 19.4 if Gilead fails to cure such failure as provided in Section 19.4 or, with respect to each Initial Specific Target Breach, Section 6.2(b)(v).
(v) With respect to each Initial Specific Target Breach, Tibotec agrees that Gilead shall be deemed to have cured such failure if Gilead complies with the following (each a “Specific Cure”) with respect to the applicable failure:

provided, however, that with respect to each Major Market country, once Gilead successfully completes a Specific Cure with respect to a breach of subsection (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 6.2(b), [*], and the [*] shall be governed by the general principles governing cure set forth in Section 19.4 and not by this subsection 6.2(b)(v).
(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Target Product Profile is not achieved in the applicable country then the obligations set forth in this Section 6.2(b) shall not apply to such country and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith substitute obligations for such country during the Launch Period, which obligations take account of the product profile of the Combination Product. If there is a modification in Applicable Law or industry guidelines with respect to the compensation of, or activities performed by, pharmaceutical sales representatives, or if Detailing is prohibited at Customer facilities, then, to the extent such modification or prohibition would render the achievement of the Specific Targets commercially impracticable or unethical, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith substitute obligations, which obligations take account of such modification or prohibition. If and for so long as the Base Price(s) with respect to one or more potential Customers does not permit the Selling Party to sell the Combination Product to such potential Customers and such inability would render the achievement of the Detailing obligations set forth in Section 6.2(b)(iii) commercially impracticable, then such obligations shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in Detailing opportunities resulting from the inability to sell Combination Product to such Customer(s).

For clarification, the satisfaction of the obligations of subsections (i) to (iii) of this Section 6.2(b) does not necessarily, in and of itself, constitute satisfaction of Gilead’s obligations under Section 6.2(a).
(c) Performance; Subcontracting. Each Party shall comply, and shall cause its Affiliates and any of its permitted subcontractors to comply, with all Applicable Law and the requirements of all Approvals for the Combination Product in conducting their respective Commercialization Activities. Either Party may subcontract the performance of Commercialization Activities allocated to it hereunder, including to a contract sales organization or Distribution Subcontractor; provided, however, that (i) Gilead shall not use a contract sales organization in any of the Major Markets and (ii) the subcontracting Party shall oversee the performance by its subcontractors of such subcontracted Commercialization Activities in a manner that would be reasonably expected to result in their timely and successful completion and shall remain responsible for the performance of such Commercialization Activities in accordance with this Agreement.
6.3 Detailing Election.
(a) Election. With respect to any country in the Territory, the non-Selling Party shall have the non-exclusive right to elect to commence, at its expense, Detailing of the Combination Product in such country (provided, in the case of Tibotec, that it (or its Affiliate) markets the TMC278 Product in such country and, in the case of Gilead, that there is a wholly owned subsidiary of Gilead Parent located in such country, which subsidiary will perform the Detailing) (a “Detailing Election”). A Detailing Election shall be effective upon three (3) months’ prior written notice thereof to the Selling Party, which notice shall specify the date on which the non-Selling Party intends to commence such Detailing.
(b) Other Promotion by Tibotec. Tibotec may not market or promote (other than Detail) the Combination Product in any Gilead Country, but may, in connection with its activities relating to the TMC278 Product, respond to unsolicited questions that it receives with respect to the Combination Product. Gilead may elect to provide Tibotec with an approved slide deck or other background materials for use in responding to such questions. In the event that Gilead does elect to provide such materials, Tibotec shall respond to any unsolicited questions that it receives with respect to the Combination Product in a manner consistent with such materials (unless Tibotec believes in good faith that such materials are inconsistent with Applicable Law or its corporate policies).
6.4 Detailing of the TMC278 Product. Following the initial Approval of the TMC278 Product in the Field in any country in the Territory until the initial Approval of the Combination Product in the Field has been granted in such country, Gilead shall have the non-exclusive right, but not the obligation, to detail the TMC278 Product for use with Truvada in such country. In the event that Gilead desires to commence detailing of the TMC278 Product in a country, Gilead shall provide Tibotec written notice and the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days from the date of such written notice, agree on (a) the date on which Gilead may commence such detailing, and

(b) the anticipated detail efforts and other related matters, such as field force training, promotional materials to be used by Gilead, if any, and key messages. In the course of such detailing Gilead shall use, and Tibotec shall supply (at Gilead’s cost), promotional materials for the TMC278 Product that have been approved or used by Tibotec or its Affiliates; provided, however, that in the event that, prior to the commencement of detailing of the TMC278 Product in a country, Gilead has complied with all agreed requirements for such detailing other than approval in accordance with Gilead’s policies and procedures of Tibotec’s promotional materials for the TMC278 Product for the applicable country, then Gilead may detail the TMC278 Product in such country using the Product Label and Insert for the TMC278 Product and no other promotional materials. Gilead shall not perform any detailing of TMC278 Product that is inconsistent with any of Tibotec’s promotional materials for the TMC278 Product, Applicable Law or the Product Label and Insert for the TMC278 Product. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) Gilead shall not receive any compensation for its efforts in detailing TMC278 Product, (y) Tibotec shall remain solely responsible for commercialization of the TMC278 Product, and (z) Gilead may not market or promote (other than Detail) the TMC278 Product.
6.5 Third Party Distributor Countries.
(a) In General. The Selling Party shall have the right, with respect to those countries in the Territory as to which it serves as the Selling Party, to engage a Third Party Distributor to Distribute Territory Combination Product. Any country in which the Selling Party has engaged a Third Party Distributor to Distribute the Territory Combination Product, for so long as a Third Party is so engaged, shall constitute a “Third Party Distributor Country”.
(b) Transfer Price. The price at which the Selling Party sells the Combination Product to a Third Party Distributor shall be determined in accordance with Section 7 and Annex R.
6.6 Distribution and Related Matters.
(a) Distribution Activities. With respect to each Permitted Launch Country, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, the Selling Party for such country (or its Third Party Distributor) shall have the right to Distribute the Territory Combination Product in such country.

Affiliates or Third Party Distributors to sell any Territory Combination Product in a country outside of the European Union if the Selling Party (or such Affiliate or Third Party Distributor) has reason to believe that such Territory Combination Product will be exported from such country to any country as to which such Party is not the Selling Party (including any country outside the Territory), and (iii) export or have exported (other than, in the case of Gilead, pursuant to any Tibotec Distributor Agreement), or permit its Third Party Distributor to export, any Territory Combination Product from any country outside of the European Union for purposes of Distribution (by such Party, its Affiliates or any other Person) in or to any country as to which it is not the Selling Party (including any country outside the Territory) without the written consent of the other Party, unless refusing to so export the Combination Product would violate Applicable Law. The Selling Party shall perform (or cause to be performed) the Distribution Activities in the Territory consistent with Applicable Law. The non-Selling Party with respect to a country in the Territory shall promptly forward (or cause its Affiliates to forward) to the Selling Party (or its designee) any order(s) for the purchase of the Combination Product for sale or use in such country that are received by the non-Selling Party or any of its Affiliates; provided that the non-Selling Party’s failure to forward any such order to the Selling Party (or its designee) shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement unless such failure constitutes willful misconduct.
(b) First Expiration, First Out. The Selling Party shall Distribute (and shall cause its Affiliates and Distribution Subcontractors to Distribute) all Territory Combination Product on a first expiration, first out (FEFO) basis.
6.7 Marketing Materials.
(a) Key Selling Messages. Gilead shall, and Tibotec may, develop and propose, and the Parties shall mutually agree upon, a set of core marketing messages with respect to the Combination Product. From time to time, either Party may propose updates to such core messages, which updates shall be mutually agreed by the Parties. Any such core messages approved by the Parties pursuant to this Section 6.7(a) and any updates thereto approved pursuant to this Section 6.7(a) shall be deemed the “Key Selling Messages.” If the Parties cannot reach agreement with respect to the Key Selling Messages or any updates thereto, the Parties shall (on a country-by-country basis if and to the extent appropriate) refer any disputed issues to the Executives for resolution pursuant to Section 2.4. If the Executives are unable to reach agreement with respect to a given core message, neither Party shall be obligated to use such message with respect to the Combination Product, but each Party shall be permitted to use such core message with respect to the Combination Product (and include such message in its Local Promotional Materials) if such message is consistent with both (i) the Product Label and Insert for the Combination Product approved by the applicable Regulatory Authority(ies) and (ii) Applicable Law.
(b) Local Promotional Materials. All advertising and promotional materials, if any, to be used in connection with the marketing and promotion, including Detailing, of the Territory Combination Product in a given country in the Territory (such advertising and

Any other deviation by Tibotec from such branding guidance shall require the written consent of Gilead. In the event that Gilead notifies Tibotec in writing of a modification to Gilead’s branding guidance or the Parties agree upon updates to the Key Selling Messages, each Party shall promptly review and update its Local Promotional Materials, if any, to conform such materials thereto. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.7, each Party shall use Local Promotional Materials (and only the Local Promotional Materials) for a given country (as developed in accordance with this Section 6.7), together with Product Label and Insert for the Combination Product approved by the applicable Regulatory Authority in such country, in marketing and promoting the Territory Combination Product in such country; provided, however, that subject to the foregoing, each Party (and its Affiliates) shall have a right to position the Territory Combination Product within its HIV product portfolio in its sole discretion.
(c) Regulatory Approval for Promotional Materials. For clarity, in any interactions with a Regulatory Authority with respect to the Local Promotional Materials, the allocation of the Parties’ rights and responsibilities shall be as set forth in Section 4.4.
(d) Compliance with Applicable Law. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.7, neither Party shall be required to market the Combination Product utilizing Local Promotional Materials which such Party believes in good faith do not comply with Applicable Law.
6.8 Selection and Use of Trademarks. Gilead shall have the right to select the Combination Product Trademarks. Gilead shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, select or use, as the Combination Product Trademark, any Trademark that is confusingly similar to, misleading or deceptive with respect to, or that dilutes any (or any part) of, the Product Trademarks for the TMC278 Product. Tibotec shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, use, in connection with any Other TMC278 Product, any Trademark that is confusingly similar to, misleading or deceptive with respect to or that dilutes any (or any part) of the Combination Product Trademarks. Each Party shall refrain from, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective sublicensees and subdistributors to refrain from, using, directly or indirectly, any Product Trademarks other than the Combination Product Trademarks, the Gilead Licensed Trademarks and Tibotec Licensed Trademarks in connection with the Exploitation of the Combination Product for sale or distribution in the Territory; provided, however, that, the foregoing shall not be construed to preclude either Party or its Affiliates from using any Trademark in connection with the Exploitation of the Combination Product for sale or distribution in the Territory to the extent that Applicable Law requires such Trademark to be so used.

6.9 Abandonment of Countries. Without limiting the obligations of the Selling Party pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.6 (and without limiting any rights or remedies the non-Selling Party may have in connection with a failure of the Selling Party to comply with such obligations), in the event the Selling Party determines, in its sole discretion, to abandon all Commercialization Activities (or not to file for Approval in the Field) for the Combination Product in a country in the Territory, the Selling Party shall promptly notify the other Party of such determination in writing, which notice shall include a reasonable description (including, supporting data, if applicable) of the justifications for such determination (each, a “Non-Commercialization Notice”). This right to abandon all Commercialization Activities (or not to file for Approval of the Combination Product in the Field) shall not apply to any Major Market. Thereafter, the non-Selling Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to engage in Commercialization Activities for the Combination Product (either itself or through a Third Party Distributor) in such country by delivery of written notice to the Selling Party within six (6) months after receipt of the applicable Non-Commercialization Notice; provided, however, that in the case of Tibotec as the non-Selling Party, Gilead shall have the right to consent to any such change in the designation of the Selling Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld (unless the country requested by Tibotec is a Designated Country, in which case, Gilead may withhold its consent in its sole discretion); provided, further, that if such Designated Country is in the European Union and the Combination Product has been launched in such country, then the Parties shall discuss in good faith the conditions under which Tibotec (or its Affiliates) might assume responsibility for Commercialization Activities in such country. In the event the non-Selling Party so elects to engage in Commercialization Activities for the Combination Product in such country, then for purposes of this Agreement (and any Ancillary Agreement), such Party shall thereafter be deemed to be the Selling Party with respect to such country, and in each case, the Parties shall work together in good faith to effectuate the transfer of responsibilities in connection with the foregoing to the other Party or a Third Party Distributor.
6.10 Patient Assistance Program; Product Donations.
(a) Patient Assistance. For each country in the Territory, the Selling Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, in accordance with its standard practice to respond to requests from individual patients who have or may obtain prescriptions for the Combination Product in such country but may be unable to afford it, and from health care providers on behalf of such patients, including establishing appropriate procedures and response times that shall apply in responding to such requests. The non-Selling Party with respect to any country in the Territory may not conduct any of the activities described in this Section 6.10(a), without the prior written consent of the Selling Party with respect to such country.
(b) Donations. Each Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the other Party’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, to donate Combination Product to any Third Party for use in any country in the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.10(b) shall not apply to any Combination Product to be used in any Clinical Trial (which use is addressed in Section 8.3).

(c) Price of Combination Product. In the event that either Party desires to use Territory Combination Product in connection with any activities permitted pursuant to Section 6.10(a) or (b), such Party may provide written notice to the other Party of its desire to use such Combination Product in connection with such activities, which notice shall specify the quantity of such Combination Product desired. If Gilead is the requesting Party, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, the compensation due to Tibotec (or its Affiliate) from Gilead (or its Affiliate) under the TMC278 Supply Agreement with respect to the quantity of the Supplied TMC278 corresponding to such quantity of Combination Product shall be adjusted so that it equals [*] and Gilead shall reimburse Tibotec for its portion of the Manufacturing Fees with respect to such quantity of Combination Product. If Tibotec is the requesting Party, Tibotec shall have the right to purchase such quantity of Combination Product for such purpose from Gilead (which quantity Gilead shall use reasonable efforts to supply to Tibotec as promptly as practical, taking into account Gilead’s Manufacturing capacity and schedule and the availability of TDF, FTC and the Supplied TMC278) at a price that [*] contained therein at [*], and Tibotec shall, in addition to paying its portion of the Manufacturing Fees with respect to such quantity of Combination Product, reimburse Gilead for Gilead’s portion of the Manufacturing Fees with respect to such quantity of Combination Product. Appropriate adjustments to the financial calculations hereunder and in any Ancillary Agreements shall be made to reflect the foregoing principles.
6.11 Commercialization Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided hereunder, each Party or its applicable Affiliate or Third Party Distributor shall bear all of its costs and expenses relating to its Commercialization Activities.
SECTION 7
PRICING
7.1 Pricing and Discounts in the Territory. The provisions set forth in this Section 7 shall apply to the pricing of Territory Combination Product sold by the Selling Party or any of its applicable Affiliates to any Third Party, including a Third Party Distributor. The Selling Party shall sell the Combination Product at prices that comply with this Section 7 and with the determinations of the Discount Committee (as defined below) made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 and Annex R. Given the close relationship between (a) the pricing of the Parties’ respective Stand-Alone Products, the TMC278 Product and Truvada, and (b) how the Parties anticipate the Territory Combination Product (TMC278 Product + Truvada) will ultimately be priced, the following pricing and reimbursement rules are necessary to facilitate the launch and pricing of the Territory Combination Product. In the absence of such rules, the Parties believe that it would be difficult to price the Territory Combination Product in a manner that protects the Parties’ respective financial interests in their Stand-Alone Products.
7.2 Discount Committee.
(a) Purpose. In order to ensure that only appropriate pricing information is communicated and that access to such information within each Party is limited, all

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
UNDER 17 C.F.R. §§ 200.80 (b)(4) AND 230.406
communications between the Parties to establish pricing for the Territory Combination Product shall be made solely through a special committee (the “Discount Committee” or “DC”), subject to Annex R. Except to the extent contained in the revenue reports contemplated in Annex Q, neither Party shall communicate to the other non-public pricing information concerning the Territory Combination Product or concerning any of its Single Agent Product(s) or Double Agent Product, as applicable, except through the DC and then only to the extent specifically authorized by this Agreement. No non-public information on their respective future pricing strategies shall be communicated between the Parties. The membership of the DC shall exclude employees who are responsible for determining pricing for a Party’s (or any of its Affiliates’) HIV antiviral products. The role of the DC shall be solely ministerial, i.e., to communicate necessary pricing information from one Party to the other and the DC members shall not make pricing decisions beyond the application of rules and calculations prescribed by this Agreement. Each Party is responsible for implementing internal procedures to restrict access to and use of the non-public pricing information received from the other Party so as to comply with this Agreement and Applicable Law.
(b) Members. Each Party shall appoint two (2) members of the Discount Committee. One (1) representative from each Party (the “Business Representative”) shall be an employee of such Party (or any of its Affiliates). The other representative from each Party (the “Attorney Representative”) shall be an attorney for such Party. Neither the Business Representative nor the Attorney Representative shall, at the time of his or her appointment, or at any time during his or her service on the DC, be involved, directly or indirectly, in the pricing of such Party’s (or any of its Affiliates’) antiviral products used to treat HIV infection, including any such products that are the subject of a collaboration with any Third Party (provided, that for purposes of this Section 7.2(b), duties solely with respect to accounts receivable analysis, bookkeeping and accounting shall not, without more, be deemed involvement in pricing). Such representatives shall have skills reasonably appropriate to their responsibilities and functions as members of the DC. Furthermore, each Party covenants that, for twelve (12) months immediately after an individual’s service on the DC (or for such shorter period as he or she is employed by such Party or its Affiliate), he or she will not be assigned to a function or position that involves, directly or indirectly, the pricing of such Party’s (or any of its Affiliates’) antiviral products used to treat HIV infection, including any such products that are the subject of a collaboration with any Third Party. Each Party shall have the right to approve the other Party’s proposed Business Representative and Attorney Representative on the DC (or any replacement therefor), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Subject to the preceding sentence, each Party shall have the right to replace its Business Representative or Attorney Representative from time to time during the term of this Agreement, provided that the composition of the DC as so changed meets the requirements set forth above in this Section 7.2(b).
(c) Firewall Policies. Reasonably in advance of Launch of the Combination Product in the first country in the Territory, Gilead shall develop and propose to Tibotec for approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, one or more policies designed to prevent disclosure by Gilead to Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx Squibb Company or any of its affiliates (“BMS”) or Merck & Co.,

Gilead may modify such policies from time to time, provided that such modifications are approved by Tibotec, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Gilead shall comply with any of its policies adopted pursuant to this Section 7.2(c), as modified from time to time in accordance with this Section 7.2(c) (each such policy, a “Firewall Policy”).
(d) DC Member Oversight. Each Party shall be responsible for the performance of its representatives on the DC and their compliance with the terms of this Section 7 and Annex R. Any issue regarding the functioning of the DC shall be reviewed jointly by the Parties’ respective Attorney Representatives. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses related to the DC, including all costs and expenses relating to the meetings of the DC, the participation of the Parties’ representatives in such meetings, communications with the other Party in connection with such meetings or matters within the authority of the DC, and travel to and from such meetings.
(e) Meetings. The Discount Committee shall meet at least each Calendar Quarter (which meeting may be conducted by telephone or videoconference equipment, so long as each attendee is able to hear the others), and as otherwise required from time to time, to determine such matters as are within the jurisdiction of the Pricing Committee as set forth in this Section 7.2.
(f) Authority. The Discount Committee shall perform only such functions as are assigned to the Discount Committee hereunder. The Discount Committee shall apply Annex R to make such calculations and determinations as are specified in Annex R.
(g) Information Exchange. The representatives of each Party on the Discount Committee shall, in connection with the calculation of any Base Price with respect to a Customer, provide the Discount Committee with (i) its Desired Component Price and (ii) such other limited pricing information, if any, with respect to such Customer as the Attorney Representatives shall agree is necessary and appropriate.
(h) Disputes. In the event that interpretation or application of this Section 7 or Annex R is necessary in order to implement the provisions of this Section 7 or Annex R, the Business Representatives shall discuss the matter with the Attorney Representatives and attempt to resolve the matter by consensus. In the event that the Attorney Representatives disagree regarding any such interpretation or application, either Attorney Representative may refer the dispute to the Executives for resolution pursuant to Section 2.4.
(i) Retention of Counsel. The Discount Committee may determine, by consensus and in its sole discretion, to retain independent legal counsel, in which case the costs and expenses of such counsel shall be shared by the Parties in accordance with their Actual Percentages.

(j) Launch Coordination Committee. In order to obtain necessary pricing approval for the Combination Product as soon as possible after receiving marketing approval to sell the TMC278 Product and submitting applications for marketing approval for the Combination Product in Major Market countries, the Parties agree that reasonably in advance of Launch in any such country that is a Permitted Launch Country, the Parties shall establish an Ad Hoc Operating Committee (each a “Launch Coordination Committee”) solely for the purpose of establishing a schedule for and coordinating logistics regarding (i) preparing and filing dossiers for price approvals for the Combination Product in such country, if applicable, (ii) establishing the Minimum Target Price, if applicable, and (iii) establishing the initial Base Price for significant potential Customers in such country. Such committee shall be comprised of representatives from each Party and shall make decisions by consensus, consent of the non-Selling Party not to be unreasonably withheld. Each Party shall inform the other Party in writing of its proposed Launch Coordination Committee members, which members shall be subject to the other Party’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Such committee may, in cooperation with the Discount Committee, revise any of the applicable time periods set forth in this Section 7 or Annex R in the interest of facilitating an effective launch of the Combination Product in such country, including time periods for (A) providing Territory Pricing Information, including DCPs, to the Discount Committee or (B) responding to any Customer-requested discounts communicated through the Discount Committee with respect to the Combination Product, but shall not have authority to alter or deviate from any other provisions or rules of Section 7 or Annex R without consent of each Party, which it may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. For clarity, the Launch Coordination Committee is not intended as a substitute for the Discount Committee, shall not perform any of the functions of the Discount Committee and a Party’s members of the Launch Coordination Committee shall not discuss with, or otherwise disclose to, the other Party’s members any pricing information relating to such Party’s Stand-Alone Product or the pricing strategy for the Combination Product. At the request of either Party, its legal counsel, or at the request of both Parties, the independent legal counsel described in Section 7.2(i), shall be permitted to attend any or all meetings of a Launch Coordination Committee, for the purpose of monitoring and ensuring compliance with the rules and requirements of this Section 7.2(j) and Applicable Law.
7.3 Country-Level Pricing.
(a) In General. With respect to any given country of the Territory in which the Combination Product is sold, the Selling Party shall offer to sell the Combination Product at the Country Price for such country unless otherwise specifically provided in this Section 7. The “Country Price” in non-Price Approval Countries shall be determined in accordance with Section 7.3(b) and in Price Approval Countries shall be set in accordance with Section 7.3(c).
(b) Non-Price Approval Countries. The Country Price for the Combination Product in any non-Price Approval Country shall be 1+1 EXP [*] such Stand-Alone Product occurred, or as promptly as practicable thereafter (and shall not be in breach of Section 7.3(a) provided that it implements such change as of such date).

(i) Minimum Target Price. The minimum acceptable Approved Price (the “Minimum Target Price”) to be obtained in connection with any negotiations by the Selling Party (or its applicable Affiliate) with the applicable pricing authority for the purpose of obtaining any initial Approved Price for the Combination Product in any Price Approval Country shall equal the then current 1+1 Approved Price in such country or such other price as the Parties may agree in writing. Prior to the commencement of such negotiations each Party shall provide to the other the applicable then-current Approved Price for its Stand-Alone Product. The non-Selling Party shall notify the Selling Party if it desires to include in the calculation of the Minimum Target Price a lower price than [*] and the Minimum Target Price shall automatically be adjusted to reflect such lower price.

(e) In-Market Pricing in Third Party Distributor Countries. The Parties shall not place any restrictions on the price at which a Third Party Distributor may sell Territory Combination Product in its applicable Third Party Distributor Country.
7.4 Customer-Level Pricing and Discounts. This Section 7.4 shall cover discounts to the Country Price for any proposed sale of the Territory Combination Product to any Customer. On a Customer by Customer basis, the Selling Party shall sell the Territory Combination Product at the Base Price or the Discounted Price, rather than the Country Price, according to the terms of this Section.
(a) Base Price Setting.
(i) In General. On a Calendar Quarter basis and [*], each Party shall provide to the Discount Committee, for each Customer, its Desired Component Price. If a Party’s Desired Component Price is not so provided for a given Customer, its DCP for such Customer shall equal [*]. Each Party may set its “Desired Component Price” with respect to a Customer at any price in its sole discretion, subject to the remainder of this clause (a). For each Calendar Quarter [*] (such price, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the “Base Price”). In the event that any Customer requests a price that is less than the Base Price (“Discounted Price”), Annex R shall apply. The Discount Committee shall be responsible, on an ongoing basis, for calculating and providing to the Selling Party the Base Price, as adjusted if applicable pursuant to Annex R. In no event shall the setting of the Base Price or application of Annex R result in a price that may be deemed at that time to be the “new best price” under the Medicaid “best price” calculation. The Selling Party shall not sell any Territory Combination Product to any Customer at a price, or agree to a reimbursement price for the Combination Product in connection with any formulary listing of a Customer, that is different than the Base Price in effect at the date on which the applicable contract with such Customer is executed, as adjusted pursuant to Annex R, if applicable.

(5) [*].
(6) Revenue Share. [*] shall be used as such Party’s DCP for purposes of determining each Party’s share of revenues from Medicaid Sales to that Customer.
(7) Medicaid Changes. The foregoing provisions on sales of the Territory Combination Product into the Medicaid program are based on Medicaid laws, regulations and practices on the Effective Date. In the event of any changes to such Medicaid laws, regulations and practices, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith replacement provisions for the allocation of the revenues from Medicaid Sales between the Parties that preserve, as nearly as possible, consistent with Applicable Law, the economic benefit to each Party as those set forth herein.
(D) Tenders. In the case of Combination Product to be sold to a governmental purchaser pursuant to a tender, in advance of the Selling Party’s participation in such tender, the Parties, through their members on the Discount Committee, shall negotiate in good faith to agree in writing on rules and procedures applicable to such tender that are consistent with Applicable Law (including without limitation all national and local statutes and other laws governing tenders in the applicable jurisdiction) and which permit the Parties legally to communicate their respective DCPs within the context of such tender (to the extent the Parties have not agreed on a method of participating in the tender that does not require such communication). In order to determine which procedures are consistent with Applicable Law, the Selling Party may discuss with the governmental purchaser in advance of the tender the Parties’ proposed methods of communicating their respective DCPs to each other or to the governmental purchaser, as applicable. To the extent possible under Applicable Law, the Discount Committee shall attempt in good faith to agree on rules and procedures applicable to such tender that permit the Parties to follow the procedures for determining a Base Price set forth in Section 7.4(a)(i). In the event that the Discount Committee is unable to agree on rules and procedures applicable to such tender, the Selling Party may offer to sell the Combination Product in such tender, but the non-Selling Party’s DCP for purposes of such tender shall be [*]. All the provisions of this Section 7.4(a)(ii)(D) shall likewise apply to any sale of Combination Product to any non-governmental purchaser pursuant to a tender if either Party reasonably believes participation in such tender on the basis of the other rules, procedures and provisions of Section 7 would violate Applicable Law.

(c) Pricing Information. All information provided to the Discount Committee that is not publicly available (“Territory Pricing Information”) shall be considered Confidential Information of the disclosing Party and shall be used solely for the purpose of making the applicable calculation under Annex R, setting any applicable Base Price and making any other calculation required under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and for no other purpose. Except as expressly permitted by this Section 7 or Annex R, each Party shall cause its representatives on the Discount Committee not to disclose any Territory Pricing Information of the other Party except to the Independent Accounting Expert engaged pursuant to Section 12.2, to counsel, or to other employees of the receiving Party or its Affiliates who require access to the Territory Pricing Information of the other Party in order to perform their role or function in furthering the purposes of this Agreement (“Necessary Personnel”). All Territory Pricing Information shall be segregated in locked or password protected files maintained by the Discount Committee, which files shall not be accessible by Persons other than the members of the Discount Committee and the receiving Party’s Necessary Personnel (which access of Necessary Personnel shall be solely to the extent necessary for the performance of such Necessary Personnel’s role and function in furthering the purposes of this Agreement), and each Party shall cause its representatives on the Discount Committee and any Necessary Personnel not to reference or use, directly or indirectly, any Territory Pricing Information of the other Party in pricing its or any of its Affiliates’ other products, including any such products that are the subject of collaborations with Third Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, setting the pricing of each Party’s respective Stand-Alone Product, or other combination product incorporating such Stand-Alone Product, is not a purpose of this Agreement, and no Territory Pricing Information shall be disclosed for such purpose.
(d) Review of Rules. On an annual basis, or as requested by either Attorney Representative in the event that such representative believes that this Section 7 or Annex R do not cover a scenario with respect to Territory Combination Product that needs to be addressed, the Parties shall review this Section 7 and Annex R (in each case, as most recently amended pursuant to this Section 7.4(d), if applicable) in light of the then-prevailing market conditions.

As between the Parties (and their respective Affiliates), the Selling Party (and its Affiliates) shall have primary responsibility for conducting pricing and discounting negotiations (and all other contracting matters) with respect to the Combination Product with Customers in the applicable country in the Territory in accordance with this Section 7 and Annex R; provided, however, that except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, subject to Section 7.3(e), the Third Party Distributor in any Third Party Distributor Country shall have all rights and responsibilities with respect to the foregoing activities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party covenants that it shall act in good faith in setting the price and discounts for its respective Single Agent Products and Double Agent Product in the Territory and shall not directly or indirectly manipulate pricing or discounting arrangements of its own Single Agent Products or Double Agent Product in the Territory solely or primarily for the purpose of increasing such Party’s portion of the revenue from the Territory Combination Product.

For any payments pursuant to Section 10.4(a) or 10.4(b) that do not meet the criteria set forth in the foregoing proviso (i.e., do not meet the threshold or are [*] in a non-Hedge-able Currency), such payment shall be made in U.S. Dollars, converted into U.S. Dollars using the standard methodology described in Section 10.9(b), but based on exchange rates reported using the Bloomberg service described in Section 10.9(a).

10.9 Currency.
(a) At the end of each month, including for the purpose of all end-of-month calculations, Net Sales and Net Selling Prices for the Combination Product shall be converted into U.S. Dollars using the actual average daily exchange rate for such month for converting the applicable currency into U.S. Dollars, as such rate is reported in Bloomberg Professional (R) service application.
(b) For all purposes (hereunder and under any Ancillary Agreement) other than making the calculations described in Section 10.9(a), the Party responsible for making any currency conversions shall, in a manner consistent with its then-current standard worldwide currency conversion methodology, convert the applicable amounts incurred or sold, as the case may be, into the applicable currency.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any invoices (or credit notes) and payments provided or made hereunder that constitute adjustments to any invoices or payments made pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement shall be provided or made, as applicable, in the currency in which the corresponding invoices or payments under such Ancillary Agreement are required to be provided or made pursuant to such Ancillary Agreement.

Interest on any payments due and owing pursuant to this Agreement that are not timely made shall accrue from the date such payments are due at the lesser of (a) an annual rate equal to the sum of (i) the prime rate of interest in force on the date the payment is due as published in The Wall Street Journal (Eastern United States Edition) (in the case of payments to be made in United States dollars) or the European Central Bank main refinancing rate (as published in the Central Bank and Financial Services Authority for Ireland website xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xx) (in the case of payments to be made in any currency other than United States dollars) and (ii) [*] and (b) the maximum rate of interest permissible under Applicable Law. For clarity, interest on any disputed payments or amounts due under this Agreement, including amounts determined to be due pursuant to an audit or adjustment as set forth in Section 12, shall be calculated as specified in this Section 10.10, provided that interest shall accrue on such payments or amounts from the date such payment or amount was originally due hereunder.

10.12 Royalty Payments to Third Parties.
(a) If a Patent of any Third Party is or would be infringed or any such Person’s trade secrets are or would be misappropriated solely as a direct result of (i) TDF, FTC or both TDF and FTC being incorporated into the Combination Product (where, for purposes of clause (i) of this Section 10.12(a) and Section 10.12(b), “incorporation” shall be construed to mean the presence of an API in the Combination Product, not the process whereby such API is included in the Combination Product or the formulation of the Combination Product and “incorporated” shall be construed in a corresponding manner), or (ii) the process whereby TDF or FTC is included in the Combination Product, or (iii) the formulation of the Combination Product, then Gilead shall be solely responsible for any royalty, license fee or other payment obligation to such Person in connection with any such infringement or misappropriation in connection with the Territory Combination Product (or the TDF or FTC included therein) or any other activities conducted hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement.
(b) If a Patent of any Third Party is or would be infringed or any such Person’s trade secrets are or would be misappropriated solely as a direct result of the Supplied TMC278 being incorporated in the Territory Combination Product, then Tibotec shall be solely responsible for any royalty, license fee or other payment obligation to such Person in connection with any such infringement or misappropriation in connection with the Territory Combination Product (or the Supplied TMC278 included therein).
(c) In the event that either Party (a “License Requesting Party”) believes in good faith that the Manufacture and supply of the Territory Combination Product (other than the Manufacture and supply of TDF, FTC or the Supplied TMC278) or the performance of either Party’s activities with respect to the Territory Combination Product hereunder requires a license to quiet infringement of any Patent or other intellectual property of any Third Party (other than a Patent for which one of the Parties has responsibility for royalties, fees and other payment obligations pursuant to Section 10.12(a) or Section 10.12(b), and other than a Patent or other intellectual property for which such Party already has a license) (each, an “Additional Required License”), such Party shall notify (prior to contacting the Third Party, if practicable, and in any event prior to entering into any agreement with respect to such Additional Required License) the other Party in writing and the Parties shall consider in good faith whether one or both of such Parties shall enter into licensing negotiations with respect to such Patent or other intellectual property and if so, shall coordinate in good faith with respect to such matter to the extent mutually agreed. In connection with one or both of the Parties entering into any Additional

Any royalties, fees or other similar payment obligations that may arise under an Additional Required License, to the extent relating to the Combination Product sold hereunder, shall be shared by the Parties [*]. If the Parties cannot agree on whether to obtain an Additional Required License or the appropriate terms therefor, Gilead shall have the right to obtain the Additional Required License and the immediately preceding sentence shall apply except to the extent that Tibotec establishes that such royalties, fees or other similar payment obligations are unreasonable under the circumstances.
(d) Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent either Party or any of its Affiliates from entering into any in-license agreement with respect to the Combination Product or otherwise; provided, however, that in the event that a Party desires to enter into such an in-license agreement with respect to the Combination Product, such Party shall comply with Section 10.12(c), provided, further however, that if the license in question is not an Additional Required License, the other Party shall have no obligation to bear any cost thereof.

FINANCIAL CALCULATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
11.1 Calculations. Any obligation of a Party hereunder to make any calculation or to provide the results of such calculation, which calculation requires any information that the other Party is obligated to provide hereunder, shall be subject to receipt of such information from such other Party.

Tibotec shall calculate the TMC278 Replacement Cost and Gilead shall calculate the TDF Replacement Cost and FTC Replacement Cost, in each case, for each such Calendar Year (and any adjustments thereto) in accordance with Annex O based on the applicable Party’s good faith estimate of the cost of replacing the applicable API during such Calendar Year.

Such due date shall constitute the due date for payment of the applicable TMC278 Invoice under the TMC278 Supply Agreement. For clarity, (i) this Section 11.7(b) is intended to apply to TMC278 Invoices for Combination Product sold to all Customers, including Third Party Distributors and (ii) the due date calculated in accordance with Annex M with respect to any Triggering Sale shall apply to both the portion of the Pre-Conversion Invoice and the portion of the Post-Conversion Invoice with respect to a given quantity of Supplied TMC278 that corresponds (based on the Estimated Yield Rate) to such Triggering Sale.

(b) Decision to Recall or Withdraw. Within a period of time reasonable under the circumstances after the date of a notice given pursuant to the first sentence of Section 13.2(a) that relates to, or otherwise has implications for, the Exploitation of the Territory Combination Product in any country(ies) in the Territory, for each country in the Territory, the Selling Party with respect thereto shall recall or withdraw the Territory Combination Product in such country if the Recall/Withdrawal Criteria (described below) are met with respect to such country. In such a case, the Selling Party shall determine in its reasonable judgment (i) the extent to which to conduct such recall or withdrawal (where such determination shall be made by the Selling Party, in its reasonable judgment, based on the circumstances (e.g., a discrete Manufacturing non-conformity would justify a recall with respect to the applicable quantities of Combination Product, but not a market withdrawal of the Combination Product from such country)), (ii) the breadth, extent and level of customer to which any such recall or withdrawal shall reach, (iii) the strategies and notifications to be used, and (iv) other related matters with respect to the conduct of such recall or withdrawal. The “Recall/Withdrawal Criteria” shall be deemed to have been met in any country in the Territory if (A) the recall or withdrawal is mandated by any Regulatory Authority, (B) the Selling Party reasonably determines to recall or withdraw the Territory Combination Product, or the non-Selling Party reasonably requests such recall or withdrawal in writing, and such determination by the Selling Party, or such request by the non-Selling Party, is made: (v) for failure of the Territory Combination Product to meet the specifications therefor, (w) with a reasonable basis to conclude that material harm to patients may occur in the absence of such recall or withdrawal, (x) in the event the Manufacture of the Territory Combination Product sold in such country does not comply with Applicable Law, (y) on account of safety issues with respect to the Territory Combination Product or either Party’s Single Agent Product(s) or Double Agent Product, as the case may be, including, in the event of a withdrawal of any Single Agent Product(s) or Double Agent Product, as the case may be, from markets in the European Union or the United States for safety concerns, or (z) on account of a Regulatory Authority mandating a withdrawal of either Party’s Single Agent Product(s) or Double Agent Product, as the case may be, from markets in the European Union or the United States or (C) the Parties mutually agree in writing to recall or withdraw the Territory Combination Product in the applicable country(ies).
(c) Product Withdrawal. Without limitation of Section 13.2(b), the Parties may, for commercial reasons or otherwise, mutually determine to withdraw the Combination Product from the market in one or more countries in the Territory (and to recall the Combination Product in connection therewith, if applicable). If the reason for such market withdrawal is based on any of the Recall/Withdrawal Criteria, such withdrawal shall be conducted in accordance with Section 13.2(b). In all other cases of mutually agreed upon market withdrawal, the Selling Party shall, upon receiving any necessary or appropriate approval from the applicable Regulatory Authority(ies), cease selling (and cause its subdistributors and Third Party Distributors, as applicable, to cease selling) the Combination Product in such country(ies) in the Territory and the Selling Party shall determine whether, and if so how, to recall any Combination Product already on the market in such country(ies).

(e) Regulatory Filings; Required Reporting. In the case of any recall or withdrawal of the Territory Combination Product in any country in the Territory, the Selling Party with respect to such country shall make (or cause to be made) such regulatory filings with Regulatory Authorities in such country as may be required to effect such recall or withdrawal.
(f) Reporting and other Actions Required by Applicable Law. Nothing set forth in this Section 13.2 shall be construed as restricting the right of either Party to make a timely report of such matter to any government agency or take other action that it deems appropriate or required by Applicable Law.
13.3 Recall Expenses. Each Party (the “Responsible Party”) shall bear any and all Recall Expenses with respect to any recall or withdrawal that (a) is caused by one or more of the following: (i) such Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct or omission, (ii) safety issues with respect to its APIs, (iii) breach by such Party (or its Affiliate or subcontractor) of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (iv) any event occurring while the Territory Combination Product is under the control of such Party (or its Affiliate) hereunder or under any Tibotec Distributor Agreement; and (b) is not caused or occasioned by any of the following: (i) the other Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct or omission, (ii) safety issues with respect to the other Party’s APIs, (iii) the breach by the other Party (or its Affiliate or subcontractor) of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (iv) any event occurring while the Territory Combination Product is under the control of the other Party (or its Affiliate) hereunder or under any Tibotec Distributor Agreement (such a recall or withdrawal, a “Party-Specific Recall/Withdrawal”). Any Recall Expenses that are not exclusively borne by one of the Parties pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Parties [*] with respect to the Territory. In addition, if any existing Territory Combination Product is rendered unusable as a result of a recall or withdrawal (either by way of a return resulting in unusable Territory Combination Product or an inability to make future sales of Territory Combination Product in inventory) (“Recalled Product”), the following shall apply with respect to the Recalled Product (and the quantity of APIs contained therein): [*].

Gilead, through patent attorneys or agents of its choice, shall have the first right, but not obligation, at its sole expense, to prepare and file Patent applications claiming the Joint Know-How to the extent that such Joint Know-How is related to the Combination Product and to obtain, prosecute, and maintain Joint Patents to the extent related to the Combination Product throughout the Territory.

If Gilead declines in writing to do so, or otherwise fails to initiate any such requested action with respect to the Joint Patent within sixty (60) days after receiving a request (and thereafter diligently pursue such action), Tibotec shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its sole cost and expense, through counsel of its choosing, to pursue such action with respect to such Joint Patent. Gilead and Tibotec shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to assist and cooperate with one another in obtaining, prosecuting and maintaining the Joint Patents and the reasonable costs and expenses of such assistance and cooperation shall be allocated as costs and expenses are otherwise allocated under this clause (i).

In the event that the Parties fail to reach agreement that such Patent application should be filed, neither Party may file or cause to be filed such patent application. In the event that the Parties agree that a patent application for a Joint Patent claiming or covering a Joint Invention that is not related to the Combination Product should be filed, the Party designated to lead such application process (the “Lead Patent Party”) shall have the sole right and obligation, in consultation with the other Party, to prepare, file, prosecute, maintain and take any other actions as directed by the Parties with respect to such Joint Patents in the name of both Parties in such countries as the Parties shall direct, and the costs and expenses with respect thereto shall be shared by the Parties as agreed pursuant to this Section 14.2(c)(ii).

Each Party may file and prosecute to obtain extensions of the Tibotec Patents (in the case of Tibotec) or the Gilead Patents (in the case of Gilead) in any country in which such extensions are available, each in its sole discretion. Each Party shall provide such assistance as may reasonably be required to obtain such extensions.
14.3 Liability for Prosecution and Maintenance. Each Party acknowledges that the Party responsible for prosecution and maintenance of Patents licensed or co-owned under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (the “Prosecution and Maintenance”) does not guarantee the issuance, validity, or enforceability of any such Patent or any claim resulting from its efforts hereunder. Neither Party shall have any liability to the other Party for any negligent acts or misconduct of outside counsel utilized in connection with the Prosecution and Maintenance, provided that the other Party was notified of the selection of such outside counsel and gave consent thereto, not unreasonably withheld. Neither Party shall have any liability to the other Party with respect to the Prosecution and Maintenance to the extent the other Party had an opportunity to review and comment on the communication, filing or submission relevant thereto. The foregoing provisions of this Section 14.3 are without prejudice to either Party’s potential liability for breach of its obligations under Section 14.1 or 14.2.

At the request of the Party bringing the suit or action, the other Party shall, at such other Party’s own expense, provide reasonable assistance to the Party bringing the suit or action in connection with any such suit or action to respond to Infringement, including providing access to relevant documents and other evidence, making its employees available at reasonable business hours, and joining such suit or action to the extent necessary to allow the Party bringing such suit or action to maintain such suit or action.

Punitive or enhanced damages recovered by judgment shall be retained by Tibotec. As between the Parties, any other amounts recovered by Tibotec pursuant to this Section 14.4(b)(ii), whether by settlement or judgment, shall first be used to reimburse Tibotec for its costs and expenses in making such recovery. Any remaining recovery shall be retained by Tibotec, provided that any such remaining recoveries with respect to any Other Infringing Product for which [*].

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that infringement of a Gilead Patent or a Tibotec Patent, as the case may be, other than by an Infringing Combination Product, or with respect to the Tibotec Patents, an Other Infringing Product, is outside the scope of this Agreement and shall not create any rights or impose any obligations on the Parties hereunder, including any right or obligation to take actions to respond to such infringement.

As between the Parties, Gilead, on behalf of and in the name of both Parties as joint owners, shall have the first right and option, at its sole expense, to respond to any infringement with respect to any Joint Patent to the extent relating to the Combination Product by appropriate steps, including filing an infringement suit or taking other similar action, and shall notify Tibotec of, and consult with Tibotec from time to time regarding, any such suit or other action. In the event that Gilead fails within thirty (30) days following notice of such infringement, or earlier notifies Tibotec in writing of its intent not, to take commercially appropriate steps to remove any infringement of any such Joint Patent, then Tibotec shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do so at Tibotec’s sole cost and expense. The Party not bringing the suit or action shall provide, at such Party’s own expense, reasonable assistance to the Party bringing the suit or action, including providing access to relevant documents and other evidence, making its employees available at reasonable business hours, and joining the action to the extent necessary to allow the Party bringing the suit or action to maintain such suit or action.

Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing within five (5) Business Days of receiving any Paragraph (iv) Certification or Notice of Allegation with respect to the Combination Product, the TMC278 Product (in the case of Tibotec), or Truvada (in the case of Gilead), as applicable. In the event that a Party provides a notice pursuant to this clause (e) of a Paragraph (iv) Certification or a Notice of Allegation resulting from an attempt to market a Generic Combination Product or a generic version of an Other Infringing Product as described in clause (B) of Section 14.4(c), then the rights and obligations in clauses (a), (b) and (d) of this Section 14.4, as applicable, shall apply with respect to any responses to such Paragraph (iv) Certification or Notice of Allegation to the extent that it relates to any Gilead Patent, Tibotec Patent or Joint Patent, as applicable.

(b) To the knowledge of Gilead, the information contained in the labels of Gilead’s Single Agent Products and Double Agent Product and in the NDAs for Gilead’s Single Agent Products and Double Agent Product represents, in all material respects, a complete and accurate reflection of the safety and efficacy profile of Gilead’s Single Agent Products and Double Agent Product. Gilead will use reasonable efforts to maintain its Single and Double Agent Product labels and the Gilead Regulatory Documentation through updates as needed to ensure that such information continues to represent a complete and accurate reflection in all material respects of the safety and efficacy profile of its Single Agent Products and Double Agent Product. It is understood and agreed that Gilead makes the representation, warranty and covenant to Tibotec set forth in this Section 17.3(b) solely for purposes of the Parties’ collaboration pursuant to this Agreement, and for no other purpose.
(c) During the term of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Tibotec (i) Gilead will not import, sell or offer to sell, and will cause its Affiliates not to import, sell or offer to sell, and (ii) Gilead will not grant any rights to any Third Party to import, sell or offer to sell, in each case ((i) and (ii)) in the Field anywhere in the world (A) the Combination Product other than pursuant to this Agreement, or (B) any other combination product that is [*]; provided, that this sentence shall not apply to Japan or any of the countries in the Access Territory from and after [*]. During the term of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in the TMC278 Supply Agreement, neither Gilead nor any of its Affiliates shall purchase or otherwise acquire (or use any contract manufacturers that have purchased or otherwise acquired), for use in the manufacture of the Combination Product for sale or distribution in the Territory, any TMC278 from any Person other than Tibotec and its Affiliates; provided, however, that Gilead shall have the right to contract with a potential TMC278 supplier and qualify it for supplying TMC278 to Gilead following the termination of Tibotec’s obligation to supply Supplied TMC278 under the TMC278 Supply Agreement.
17.4 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 17.1 AND 17.2 AND 17.3, EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE SINGLE AGENT PRODUCT(S), THE DOUBLE AGENT PRODUCT, THE COMBINATION PRODUCT OR ANY TIBOTEC TECHNOLOGY, GILEAD TECHNOLOGY, JOINT TECHNOLOGY OR REGULATORY DOCUMENTATION LICENSED UNDER THIS

(a) By Gilead. Gilead shall indemnify Tibotec and its Indemnified Persons from and against (i) all Proceedings arising anywhere in the world in which Tibotec or any of its Indemnified Persons is involved or threatened to be involved to the extent such Proceedings arise from personal injury or death caused by Territory Combination Product due to defects or the inherent characteristics thereof, where [*] that such defects or characteristics are the direct result of the incorporation (where, for purposes of this Section 18.2 and Sections 18.3 and 18.4, “incorporation” shall be construed to mean the presence of an API in the Combination Product, not the process whereby such API is included in the Combination Product or the formulation of the Combination Product and “incorporated” shall be construed in a corresponding manner) in the Combination Product of TDF, FTC or both TDF and FTC, in each case without reference to the incorporation in the Combination Product of the Supplied TMC278 (other than any Selected Product Liability Proceedings, which, for purposes of clarity, are provided for in Section 18.3), irrespective of whether such defects or characteristics (or any associated defects or characteristics of TDF or FTC) are [*] (such defects or characteristics, “TDF/FTC Characteristics”), and (ii) all Losses (other than Selected Product Liability Losses) incurred by Tibotec or any of its Indemnified Persons arising from any Proceeding covered by the foregoing clause (i) to the extent arising from TDF/FTC Characteristics.

18.3 Selected Product Liability Losses. Any Selected Product Liability Losses shall be borne by Gilead and Tibotec in accordance with [*] with respect to the Territory. “Selected Product Liability Losses” shall mean any Losses arising out of any Selected Product Liability Proceeding. “Selected Product Liability Proceeding” shall mean any Proceeding arising anywhere in the world in which any Party or any of its Indemnified Persons is involved or threatened to be involved to the extent such Proceedings arise from personal injury or death caused by Territory Combination Product due to defects or the inherent characteristics of the Combination Product, (a) where [*] such defects or characteristics are the direct result of both (i) the Supplied TMC278 and (ii) either or both of TDF or FTC being incorporated into the Combination Product, (b) where it ultimately cannot be or is not determined whether such defects or characteristics are the direct result of the Supplied TMC278, on the one hand, or either or both of TDF and FTC, on the other hand, being incorporated into the Combination Product, or (c) where such defects or characteristics are the direct result of an aspect of the Combination Product other than any of its APIs, except, in each case ((a), (b) and (c)), to the extent such Proceeding arises from personal injury or death caused by Territory Combination Product due to the Label Characteristics, which Proceeding is covered in Section 18.2(b).
18.4 Third Party Infringement Losses.
(a) By Gilead. Gilead shall indemnify Tibotec and its Indemnified Persons from and against (i) any Proceeding arising anywhere in the world in which Tibotec or any of its Indemnified Persons is involved or threatened to be involved to the extent that (A) such Proceeding arises out of an allegation that any Exploitation of Territory Combination Product infringes or misappropriates, or will infringe or misappropriate, any patent or other intellectual property, including trade secrets, of a Third Party, and (B) (x) such Proceeding is a direct result of TDF, FTC or both TDF and FTC being incorporated into the Territory Combination Product, in each case without reference to the Supplied TMC278 or (y) such Proceeding is the direct result of (1) the process whereby any such API is included in the Combination Product or (2) the formulation of the Combination Product, and (ii) all Losses arising from such a Proceeding incurred by Tibotec or any of its Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, to the extent arising as a direct result of a cause described in either clause (x) or (y) above.

(c) By Tibotec. Tibotec shall indemnify Gilead and its Indemnified Persons from and against (i) any Proceeding in which Gilead or any of its Indemnified Persons is involved or threatened to be involved to the extent that (A) such Proceeding arises out of an allegation that any Exploitation of any Territory Combination Product infringes or misappropriates, or will infringe or misappropriate, any patent or other intellectual property, including trade secrets, of a Third Party and (B) such Proceeding is a direct result of the Supplied TMC278 being incorporated into the Territory Combination Product, in each case without reference to TDF or FTC, and (ii) all Losses arising from such a Proceeding incurred by Gilead or any of its Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, to the extent arising as a direct result of the Supplied TMC278 being incorporated into the Combination Product, in each case without reference to TDF or FTC.
(d) Shared Infringement Losses. To the extent that (i) any Losses arising out of any Proceeding against any Party or any of its Indemnified Persons arise out of an allegation that the Exploitation of any Territory Combination Product infringes or misappropriates, or will infringe or misappropriate, any patent or other intellectual property, including trade secrets, of a Third Party, and (ii) such Losses are not covered by Section 18.1, 18.4(a), 18.4(b) or 18.4(c), such Losses shall be borne by the Parties [*].
18.5 Other Shared Combination Product-Related Losses. With respect to any Losses arising out of any Proceeding brought or made against any Party or any of its Indemnified Persons to the extent arising out of the Exploitation of Territory Combination Product (including (a) any Manufacture of any Territory Combination Product, and (b) any activities performed by or on behalf of any Party, in its capacity as the MA Holder), except to the extent that either Party has an obligation of indemnification with respect to such Losses pursuant to any of Section 18.1 through 18.4, Gilead and Tibotec shall each bear such portion of such Losses [*].
18.6 Indemnification Procedure. The indemnity and reimbursement obligations of a Party under this Section 18 shall be governed by the following:
(a) Notice. In the case of any Proceeding for which an Indemnifying Party may be liable to an Indemnified Person under this Section 18, the Indemnified Party shall as soon as practicable notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Proceeding (a “Notice of Claim”). Failure or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to the Indemnified Party, except and only to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual harm to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Proceeding. The Notice of Claim shall specify in reasonable detail the Proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party or any of its Indemnified Persons intends to base a request for indemnification or reimbursement under this Section 18. Failure to provide such reasonable detail will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to the Indemnified

Party, except and only to the extent that such failure causes actual harm to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall enclose with the Notice of Claim a copy of all papers served with respect to such Proceeding, if any. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Indemnifying Party received the Notice of Claim to notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party desires to assume the defense of such Proceeding and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice.
(b) Control of the Third Party Defense. If the Indemnifying Party has given the Indemnified Party notice pursuant to Section 18.6(a) that it desires to assume control of a Proceeding and the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing an obligation to indemnify or reimburse fully the Indemnified Party or its applicable Indemnified Person(s) for all Losses arising from the Proceeding (to the extent such Losses and Proceedings are covered by such Indemnifying Party’s indemnity obligations under Sections 18.1, 18.2 and 18.4), then, subject to Section 18.6(d), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, settle and otherwise dispose of such Proceeding (such Party, “Defending Party”). If the Indemnifying Party provides notice that it desires to assume control of the Proceeding, but the Indemnifying Party does not have the right to be the Defending Party pursuant to the preceding sentence, or if Losses are to be allocated under Section 18.3, 18.4(d) or 18.5, then the Parties shall confer and negotiate in good faith to determine whether to enter into a joint defense agreement pursuant to which the Parties shall allocate the respective rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to the control of the Proceeding, including whether to designate one of the Parties as the Defending Party. In the event that there are two or more Indemnified Parties or Indemnified Persons that are subject to the same Proceeding, this Section 18.6 shall be construed to apply separately to such Proceeding as it applies to each such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, provided that the applicable Parties agree to take account of such fact in connection with their negotiations pursuant to this Section 18.6(b) with respect to the defense, control and settlement of such Proceeding as it applies to each such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person. The out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by the Defending Party in connection with its control of a Proceeding shall constitute Losses with respect to such Proceeding.
(c) Interim Control. Unless and until the Defending Party is determined, the Indemnified Party subject to such Proceeding shall have the right to defend and control such Proceeding, but shall not have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Proceeding for which it would be seeking indemnification or reimbursement hereunder (including under Section 18.3, 18.4(d) or 18.5) without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(d) Control by the Indemnifying Party. If either Party is the Defending Party, (i) the other Party may retain separate co-counsel at (from and after such assumption) its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Proceeding but the Defending Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, (ii) the other Party will not consent to

the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Proceeding for which it would be seeking indemnification or reimbursement hereunder without the prior written consent of the Defending Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (iii) the Defending Party will not, without the prior written consent of the other Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Proceeding to the extent such judgment or settlement (A) provides for equitable relief (or any other relief other than solely for money damages), or for any monetary relief that will not be fully discharged by the Defending Party (without any recourse to the other Party) concurrently with the effectiveness of such judgment or settlement; provided that the other Party’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed to the extent that the sole relief is monetary, or (B) does not effect a full and unconditional release of the other Party and its Indemnified Persons with respect to all claims in such Proceeding (or the portion thereof to which the judgment or settlement relates). The Parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such Proceeding; provided, that (A) an Indemnified Party shall not be obligated pursuant to this sentence to enter into or consent to the entry of any judgment or settlement in relation to any Proceeding and (B) in any event, an Indemnifying Party shall not be relieved of its obligations under this sentence as a result of any breach of this sentence (determined after giving effect to clause (A)) except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such breach. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief (or any other relief other than solely money damages) against the other Party. The Parties shall also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all non-privileged information relevant thereto to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(e) Election Not to Control. If there is no Defending Party with respect to a given Proceeding, then the Indemnified Party will be entitled to assume control of the Proceeding, at its cost and expense (or to the extent the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or reimbursement with respect thereto pursuant to this Section 18, at the expense of the other Party to such extent) upon delivery of notice to such effect to the other Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the Proceeding at its sole cost and expense, but the Indemnified Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof.
(f) Unauthorized Settlements. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed control of the Proceeding, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify or reimburse the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into, or any judgment that was consented to, by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(g) Allocations. The allocation between the Parties (whether by indemnification, reimbursement or otherwise) of any liability for any Losses, if not otherwise determined in a court of law, shall be considered by the Parties and, if the Parties do not reach

UNDER 17 C.F.R. §§ 200.80 (b)(4) AND 230.406
agreement in writing on such allocation, either Party shall have the right to refer the dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section 20.7. The Parties or the arbitrator, as the case may be, shall make such allocation based on the indemnification and reimbursement principles set forth in this Section 18. The dispute resolution procedures in Section 2.4 shall not apply to any disputes arising under this Section 18.6(g). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall not be entitled to refer any dispute with respect to Losses arising under a Proceeding pursuant to this Section 18.6(g) to arbitration to the extent that the liability of either Party for such Losses is being contested in such Proceeding (or any other Proceeding that would be binding with respect to such first Proceeding).
(h) Third Party Rights. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to coordinate with respect to the rights set forth in this Section 18.6, including any rights with respect to the control of any applicable Proceeding, to take into account the rights of any Third Party (e.g., a subcontractor of a Party) that has an obligation to indemnify any Party (or its Indemnified Persons) with respect to any Losses covered by this Section 18.
18.7 LIMITATION ON DAMAGES. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO LIABILITY ARISING FROM BREACHES OF SECTION 15 BY A PARTY, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, MULTIPLIED OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING FOR LOST PROFITS), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 18.7 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL OPERATE TO LIMIT A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS OF INDEMNITY OR REIMBURSEMENT OF LOSSES UNDER THIS SECTION 18.
18.8 Insurance. Each Party shall maintain during the term of this Agreement and for a period of at least five years thereafter product liability insurance on an occurrences reported or a claims-made coverage form with limits of not less than [*] per occurrence and annual aggregate. If such coverage is written on a claims-made basis, the retroactive date, if any, shall precede the Effective Date. In addition, a [*] extended reporting period shall be purchased if the policy or policies are cancelled or not renewed and not replaced by another claims-made policy with the same (or earlier) retroactive date. Such insurance shall include worldwide coverage. If commercially reasonable insurance is unavailable, each Party may elect to self-insure its respective risks. Each Party shall provide the other with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice in the event of cancellation of or material change in such insurance. Each Party shall, upon the written request of the other, provide the other with written evidence of insurance coverage meeting the above criteria. To the extent that either Party insures its respective risks and exposures arising out of the Exploitation of the Combination Product, the Party obtaining such insurance or self-insuring for such exposures shall have the sole right to retain any recoveries under such policies or programs. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 18.8 is intended, or shall be construed, to limit a Party’s indemnity obligations or obligation to share Losses pursuant this Section 18.

18.9 Quality Agreements. For clarity, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 18.1 based solely on a breach of a Quality Agreement. Further, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, refrain from seeking damages or any other remedy under any Quality Agreement.
SECTION 19
TERM AND TERMINATION
19.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated pursuant to this Section 19.
19.2 Challenge by Governmental Authority. In the event that any governmental authority in a country obtains a preliminary injunction or permanent injunction enjoining the transactions between the Parties in connection with entering into this Agreement, the Parties shall meet and discuss whether to terminate this Agreement with respect to such country.
19.3 Combination Product Withdrawal. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, with respect to a country, if (a) the Territory Combination Product is withdrawn from the market in such country for reasons of safety or efficacy or (b) the Territory Combination Product is withdrawn in a Major Market for reasons of safety or efficacy. In such event, termination shall be effective immediately upon written notice from the terminating Party.
19.4 Material Breach.
(a) Notice and Cure Period. If a Party (the “Breaching Party”) is in Material Breach, the other Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) shall have the right to give the Breaching Party notice specifying the nature of such Material Breach. Except as set forth in Section 6.2(b)(v) with respect to Initial Specific Target Breaches, the Breaching Party shall have a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice to cure such Material Breach (including Commercial Target Breaches other than Initial Specific Target Breaches) (the “Cure Period”) in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Non-Breaching Party. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision is not intended to restrict in any way either Party’s right to notify the other Party of any other breach or to demand the cure of any other breach.
(b) Termination Right. The Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, upon written notice to the Breaching Party, in the event that the Breaching Party has not, in the case of an Initial Specific Target Breach, cured such Material Breach within the applicable time period set forth in Section 6.2(b)(v), or in the case of any other Material Breach, cured such Material Breach within the Cure Period. If a Party contests such termination pursuant to the escalation procedures under Section 2.4 or under Section 20.7, such termination shall not be effective until a conclusion of the procedures in Section 2.4 and Section 20.7, as applicable, resulting in a determination that there has been an uncured Material Breach (or, if earlier, abandonment of the dispute by such Party). If the Breaching Party asserts that the

UNDER 17 C.F.R. §§ 200.80 (b)(4) AND 230.406
Material Breach has been cured, this Agreement shall not be terminated if the alleged cure has effectively remedied the harm to the Non-Breaching Party caused by the Material Breach.
19.5 Voluntary Termination.
(a) In the event of a Program Failure, either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety at any time prior to Approval of the Combination Product in the Field by the FDA or the grant of the marketing authorization of the Combination Product in the Field by the European Commission, whichever occurs first, by written notice to the other Party. A “Program Failure” shall mean the failure of either of the phase III Ongoing TMC278 Studies to meet their primary clinical endpoints. Such termination shall be effective as of the date of such notice.

SECTION 20
GENERAL PROVISIONS
20.1 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, except for the payment of any amounts under this Agreement, when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorism, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority. The non-performing Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure within five (5) days after such occurrence by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use, throughout the period of suspension of performance, commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform; provided, however, that in the event the suspension of performance continues for ninety (90) days after the date such force majeure commences, the Parties shall meet to discuss in good faith how to proceed in order to accomplish the objectives of this Agreement; and provided, further, however, that if the suspension of performance continues for more than one (1) year after the date such force majeure commences, either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other Party.

Each arbitrator shall be impartial and independent of the Parties and shall abide by the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes (available at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/XxxxxxXxxXxxxxxxxx).

Within fifteen (15) days of receiving such list, the Parties shall rank at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the proposed arbitrators on the initial CPR list, after exercising cause challenges. The Parties may then jointly interview the five candidates (three if a single arbitrator is to be selected) with the highest combined rankings for no more than one hour each and, following the interviews, may exercise one peremptory challenge each. The panel will consist of the remaining three candidates (or one, if one arbitrator is to be selected) with the highest combined rankings. In the event these procedures fail to result in selection of the required number of arbitrators, CPR shall select the appropriate number of arbitrators from among the members of the various CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals, allowing each side challenges for cause and one peremptory challenge each.
(d) The Parties agree to cooperate (i) to attempt to select the arbitrator(s) by agreement within thirty (30) days of initiation of the arbitration, including jointly interviewing the final candidates, (ii) to meet with the arbitrator(s) within thirty (30) days of selection and (iii) to agree at that meeting or before upon procedures for discovery and as to the conduct of the hearing which will result in the hearing being concluded within no more than six (6) months after selection of the arbitrator(s) and in the award being rendered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the hearings, or of any post-hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the hearings.
(e) In the event the Parties cannot agree upon procedures for discovery and conduct of the hearing meeting the schedule set forth in Section 20.7(d), then the arbitrator(s) shall set dates for the hearing, any post-hearing briefing, and the issuance of the award following the schedule set forth in Section 20.7(d) as closely as practical. The arbitrator(s) shall provide for discovery according to those time limits, giving recognition to the understanding of the Parties that they contemplate reasonable discovery, including document demands and depositions, but that such discovery will be limited so that the schedule set forth in Section 20.7(d) may be met without difficulty. In no event will the arbitrator(s), absent agreement of the Parties, allow more than a total of ten days for the hearing or permit either side to obtain more than a total of forty (40) hours of deposition testimony from all witnesses, including both fact and expert witnesses, or serve more than twenty (20) individual requests for documents, including subparts. There shall be no requests for admission or interrogatories. Multiple hearing days will be scheduled consecutively to the greatest extent possible. The arbitrator(s) shall have power to exclude evidence on grounds of hearsay, prejudice beyond its probative value, redundancy, or irrelevance and no award shall be overturned by reason of any ruling on

(f) The arbitrator(s) are expressly empowered to decide dispositive motions in advance of any hearing, including but not limited to motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, and shall endeavor to decide such motions as would a Federal District Judge sitting in the State of New York.
(g) The arbitrator(s) shall decide the issues presented in accordance with the governing law set forth in Section 20.6. The arbitrator(s) shall render a written opinion stating the reasons upon which the award is based. To the extent possible, the arbitration hearings and award will be maintained in confidence.

(i) EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY CLAIM OF DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE PRECLUDED PURSUANT TO SECTION 18.7.
(j) EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY CLAIM FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS FROM THE OTHER.
(k) EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY.
20.8 Consent to Jurisdiction.
(a) Each Party, for the purpose of enforcing an award under Section 20.7 or for seeking interim or provisional relief as contemplated in Section 20.7(h) with respect to any breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (i) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City of New York, State of New York (the “Court”), and (ii) agrees not to raise any objection at any time to the laying or maintaining of the venue of any action, suit or proceeding for such purpose in any such Court, irrevocably waives any claim that such action, suit or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waives the right to object, with respect to such action, suit or other proceeding, that such Court does not have any jurisdiction over such Party. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s notice address provided for in this Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in the Court with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 20.8(a).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Patent Matter with respect to a given Patent shall be subject to adjudication in accordance with the laws of the country in which such Patent is pending or has been issued. The Parties agree that the venue of any such adjudication involving a Patent pending in or issued by the United States shall be a U.S. federal district court sitting in the City of New York, State of New York, and for a Patent pending in or issued by any other country, any competent court having jurisdiction over the subject of the Patent Matter sitting in the capital of such country (or if there is not any such competent court in the capital, a location reasonably proximate to the capital) and each Party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court. Each Party agrees not to raise any objection at any time to the laying or maintaining of the venue of any action, suit or proceeding for such purpose in any such court, irrevocably waives any claim that such action, suit or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, including any forum non conveniens argument, and further irrevocably waives the right to object, with respect to such action, suit or other proceeding, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such Party.
20.9 Waiver. A Party’s failure to enforce, at any time or for any period of time, any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy, does not constitute a waiver of such provision, right or remedy, or prevent such Party thereafter from enforcing any or all provisions and exercising any or all other rights and remedies. The exercise of any right or remedy does not constitute an election or prevent the exercise of any or all rights or remedies, all rights and remedies being cumulative.
20.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intent of the Parties as nearly as may be possible, and (b) the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a provision, in replacement of the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is consistent with Applicable Law and accomplishes, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the Parties with respect thereto. Without limitation of the foregoing, if any aspect of Section 7, Section 10, Section 11, Annex J or Annex R is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then the Parties agree to negotiate replacement provisions that preserve, as nearly as possible, consistent with Applicable Law, the economic benefit to each Party as those set forth therein. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party hereby waives any provision of law that would render any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
20.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
20.12 Construction. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used the singular shall include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders. The words “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement (including the Annexes hereto) as an entirety and

The word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or). The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to a matter or action being subject to the “mutual agreement” or “mutual consultation” of the Parties, or words of similar import, shall not be construed as an agreement that the Parties shall agree to such matter or action. The language of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language mutually chosen by the Parties and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party.
20.13 Status of the Parties. Neither Party shall have the right to enter into any agreements or take action on behalf of the other Party, nor shall it represent to any Person that it has any such right or authority. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as establishing a partnership or joint venture relationship between the Parties.
20.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Annexes hereto), together with the Ancillary Agreements executed on or before the Effective Date by the Parties, constitutes, on and as of the Effective Date, the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements between Gilead, on the one hand, and Tibotec, on the other hand (including the CDA and the MTA), whether written or oral, with respect to such subject matter are hereby superseded in their entireties; provided, however, that the CDA shall be superseded solely to the extent applicable to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be amended in any respect whatsoever except by a further agreement, in writing, fully executed by Gilead and Tibotec.

4. Other Surveys. Either Party, separately or jointly with the other Party or any third party, may conduct other surveys of physician awareness. Unless otherwise agreed, such surveys shall be at the sponsoring Party’s sole expense, the results need not be shared with the other Party, and such surveys shall not be deemed to determine Aided Physician Awareness.
Required Minimum Details
1. Minimum Details. For each Major Market, for each applicable Detailing Year, through the Calendar Quarter that includes the last day of the Launch Period, Gilead shall perform the number of Details of the Combination Product in such Major Market as set forth below (which amounts shall be prorated for any partial Detailing Year):
i. | United States | [*] | ||||
ii. | France | [*] | ||||
iii. | Germany | [*] | ||||
iv. | Italy | [*] | ||||
v. | Spain | [*] | ||||
vi. | United Kingdom | [*] |
2. Records and Reports. Gilead shall require its sales representatives who Detail the Combination Product to keep records of their Detailing efforts in accordance with industry standards for the applicable Major Market and sufficient to determine whether or not the required number of Details are achieved and that the requirements of Section 6.2(b)(iii) are satisfied. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Detailing Year, Gilead shall provide Tibotec with a written report stating the number of Details for each Major Market.
3. Audit. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 12 to the contrary, with reasonable advance notice and not more often than once each Calendar Year for each Major Market, Tibotec may audit Gilead’s records in order to verify (a) the number of Details in each Calendar Quarter

of a Detailing Year made by Gilead in a Major Market applicable to meeting the requirements of this Annex F and (b) whether or not the other requirements of Section 6.2(b)(iii) are satisfied. Any such audit shall be conducted during normal business hours at Gilead’s facilities by a reputable independent Third Party selected by Tibotec and reasonably acceptable to Gilead (the “Auditor”). Such Auditor shall sign a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to Gilead, and shall not disclose to Tibotec or any other person any information, except the number of Details made by Gilead per Major Market for each applicable quarter of a Detailing Year determined by such audit, and the Auditor’s findings as to whether or not the other requirements of Section 6.2(b)(iii) are satisfied. Such audit shall be at Tibotec’s expense, unless the Auditor determines (absent manifest error on the part of the Auditor) that Gilead incorrectly over-reported (i) the number of Details made by Gilead for a particular Major Market and Detailing Year and did not meet the number of Details required for such Major Market and Detailing Year, and/or (ii) meeting the requirements of Section 6.2(b)(iii), in either of which cases Gilead shall be responsible for reimbursing Tibotec for the fees and expenses charged by the Auditor in connection with such audit that are applicable to such Major Market and Detailing Year.

Further, for purposes of determining Net Sales with respect to a product, the product shall be deemed to be sold when the revenue obtained in connection with the transfer of such product to a Third Party is recognized in accordance with GAAP. Net Sales with respect to a product for any period for the Territory as a whole shall be expressed in U.S. Dollars and, in the case of the Territory Combination Product, shall be equal to the sum of Net Sales of the Territory Combination Product (as converted into U.S. Dollars on a monthly basis using the actual average daily exchange rate for the applicable month for converting the applicable currency into U.S. Dollars, as such rate is reported in Bloomberg Professional (R) service application) in each country in the Territory for such period.
2. “Net Selling Price” shall mean, for any product, for any country in the Territory for any period, expressed in the applicable local currency, the quotient of (i) the aggregate Net Sales for such country of such product for such period, divided by (ii) the number of Units of such product

GILEAD SCIENCES ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH TIBOTEC PHARMACEUTICALS TO DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE NEW FIXED-DOSE COMBINATION OF TRUVADA® AND TMC278
— Product Would Represent Second Truvada-Based Complete Fixed-Dose Regimen —
Foster City, CA, July 16, 2009 – Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) today announced that it has entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Tibotec Pharmaceuticals for the development and commercialization of a new once-daily fixed-dose antiretroviral regimen containing Gilead’s Truvada® (emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) and Tibotec’s investigational non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) TMC278 (rilpivirine hydrochloride, 25 mg) for treatment-naïve HIV-infected individuals. Fixed-dose combinations contain multiple medicines formulated into one tablet and help to simplify HIV therapy.
“Gilead and Tibotec share a strong focus on bringing safe and effective treatment options to people living with HIV/AIDS,” said Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, PhD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gilead Sciences. “Fixed-dose regimens have become the standard of care as HIV treatment has evolved toward more simplified regimens for patients. We are very pleased to collaborate with Tibotec and look forward to advancing this new fixed-dose product.”
Subject to regulatory approval, Gilead will assume the lead role in the manufacturing, registration, distribution and commercialization of the fixed-dose combination of Truvada and rilpivirine worldwide, excluding the developing world and Japan. Tibotec will be responsible for the commercialization of rilpivirine as a stand-alone product and will hold rights to co-promote the fixed-dose combination in these territories. The companies will also work towards an agreement to make the fixed-dose combination of Truvada and rilpivirine available in the developing world.
If approved, the new product would become the second complete antiretroviral treatment regimen for HIV available in a single tablet taken once daily. The first and only such therapy available today, Atripla® (efavirenz 600 mg/emtricitabine 200 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg), was approved

by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006. Both Atripla and the new fixed-dose combination contain a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) backbone of Truvada.
Current HIV treatment guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services list emtricitabine and tenofovir (the components of Truvada) in combination with an NNRTI or a protease inhibitor as a preferred regimen for patients initiating therapy. Tibotec is currently studying the combination of Truvada and rilpivirine in Phase III clinical trials.

About Rilpivirine
Rilpivirine is an investigational non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor being developed by Tibotec Pharmaceuticals. Two Phase III trials for rilpivirine are currently being conducted in the United States, Canada, Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. As an investigational agent, the safety and efficacy of rilpivirine, in combination with other antiretroviral agents, has not yet been established in humans.
About Gilead Sciences
Gilead Sciences is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes innovative therapeutics in areas of unmet medical need. The company’s mission is to advance the care of patients suffering from life-threatening diseases worldwide. Headquartered in Foster City, California, Gilead has operations in North America, Europe and Australia.
This press release includes forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including risks related to whether ongoing clinical trials for rilpivirine will be successful and whether rilpivirine will receive regulatory approval, our ability to formulate the combination product or to perform clinical trials and our ability to obtain FDA and other regulatory approvals. As a result, the combination product may never be successfully commercialized. Further, the parties may make a strategic decision to discontinue development of the combination product if, for example, we are unable to successfully formulate the fixed-dose combination or the market for the product fails to materialize as expected. These risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those referred to in the forward-looking statements. The reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. These and other risks are described in detail in Gilead’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

“A simplified regimen may help improve patient adherence and decrease overall pill burden,” said Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, MD, President Tibotec R&D. “We are very pleased to collaborate with Gilead, one of the leading companies in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and look forward to advancing this new fixed-dose product in addition to TMC278 as a single agent.”
This agreement represents the first fixed dose combination product collaboration for Tibotec and, when approved, it would become the first complete once-daily antiretroviral treatment regimen for HIV to include an antiretroviral from Tibotec. Tibotec is currently studying the combination of Truvada and TMC278 in its Phase III program; the two ongoing pivotal clinical trials, TMC278-C209 and TMC278-C215 are fully recruited having enrolled over 1,300 treatment-naïve adult patients with HIV-1. Current HIV treatment guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services list emtricitabine and tenofovir (the components of Truvada) in combination with a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor or a protease inhibitor as a preferred regimen for patients initiating therapy.
Tibotec will remain uniquely responsible for the commercialization of TMC278 as a single product and additionally will have the right to promote the fixed-dose combination product to healthcare professionals in all countries except Japan and the access countries. Gilead will assume the lead role in manufacturing, registration and, subject to regulatory approval, commercialization of the fixed-dose combination of TMC278 and Truvada throughout the territory.
Tibotec and Gilead are committed to working together to make the fixed-dose combination of TMC278 and Truvada available in the developing world and will work towards a separate agreement for these countries.

WHEREAS, as an inducement to the Guaranteed Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Collaboration Agreement, Guarantor is executing and delivering this Agreement upon the execution and delivery of the Collaboration Agreement; and

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the right of Guarantor to assert (x) any claim it may have against any Guaranteed Party (or its successors or assigns) in a separate action or proceeding or (y) any defense, set off or counterclaim that any Tibotec Entity may have against any Guaranteed Party (or its successors or assigns) arising out of any Guaranteed Agreement or any transaction contemplated thereby.
1.5 Reinstatement. Guarantor agrees that, with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation, if at any time following the termination of this Agreement all or any part of any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or required to be returned by any Guaranteed Party to any Person for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Tibotec Entity) this Agreement shall be reinstated with respect to such payment so rescinded or returned as though such payment had never been received by the Guaranteed Parties.
