(i) trade, cash, promotional and quantity discounts and wholesaler fees;
(ii) taxes on sales (such as excise, sales or use taxes or value added taxes) to the extent imposed upon and paid directly with respect to the sales price (and excluding national, sales or local taxes based on income);

Such Permitted Deductions shall be determined in accordance with GAAP.
Sales of Products between Wyeth, its Affiliates or Sublicensees for resale, or for use in the production or manufacture of Products, shall not be included within Net Sales; provided, however, that any subsequent sale of such Product (or Products produced or manufactured using such Product) by Wyeth or its Affiliate or Sublicensee to a non-Affiliate Third Party shall be included within Net Sales.

Wholesale Acquisition Cost(s), in such country, of such other products or active ingredients/components, as the case may be, included in the Combination Product if sold separately in such country by the Selling Person.
In the event that the Selling Person sells the Product included in a Combination Product as a separate Product in a country, but does not separately sell all of the other products or active ingredients/components, as the case may be, included in such Combination Product in such country, the calculation of Net Sales resulting from such Combination Sale shall be determined by multiplying the Net Combination Sale Amount by the fraction A/C where:
A is the Wholesale Acquisition Cost, in the country where such Combination Sale occurs, of the Product contained in such Combination Product when sold as a separate Product by the Selling Person, and C is the Wholesale Acquisition Cost, in such country, charged by the Selling Person for the entire Combination Product.
In the event that the Selling Person does not sell the Product included in a Combination Product as a separate Product in the country where such Combination Sale occurs, but does separately sell all of the other products or active ingredients/components, as the case may be, included in the Combination Product in such country, the calculation of Net Sales resulting from such Combination Sale shall be determined by multiplying the Net Combination Sale Amount by the fraction (C-D)/C, where:
C is the Wholesale Acquisition Cost, in such country, charged by the Selling Person for the entire Combination Product, and D is the Wholesale Acquisition Cost, in such country, charged by the Selling Person for the other products or active ingredients/components, as the case may be, included in the Combination Product.
Where active ingredient portions of a Combination Product are sold separately as other products but in different dosage strengths than are in the Combination Product, the calculation of the Net Sales amount for such Combination Product shall be based on appropriate proration of the amounts of each active ingredient component included therein when applying the formulas set forth above.
Where the calculation of Net Sales resulting from a Combination Sale in a country cannot be determined by any of the foregoing methods, the calculation of Net Sales for such Combination Sale shall be that portion of the Net Combination Sale Amount reasonably determined in good faith by Wyeth in consultation with ADLS as properly reflecting the value of the Product included in the Combination Product.

If a Product is sold as part of a bundle of distinct products (i.e., one price is charged for a number of distinct products that are not (i) packaged together with another Product or (ii) in a Combination Product form alone), the Net Sales for such Product shall be based on the ratio of the Wholesale Acquisition Cost for such Product to the sum of the Wholesale Acquisition Costs for each product in such bundle. By way of example, if the Wholesale Acquisition Cost for such Product when sold separately is $10, and the sum of the Wholesale Acquisition Costs for each product in such bundle when sold separately if $40, then the Net Sales attributable to the Product when sold as part of the bundle would be twenty-five percent (25%) of the Net Sales of the bundle of products sold by the Selling Person.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Sales shall not include any consideration received by Wyeth, its Affiliates or its Sublicensees in respect of the sale, use or other disposition of a Product in a country as part of a clinical trial prior to the receipt of all Regulatory Marketing Approvals required to commence commercial sales of such Product in such country.
Products provided by Wyeth, its Affiliates or Sublicensees free of charge, as samples, for administration to patients enrolled in clinical trials or distributed through a not-for-profit foundation or other compassionate use program at no charge to eligible patients, shall not be included in Net Sales, provided that Wyeth, its Affiliates or Sublicensees receive no cash consideration from such samples, clinical trials, not-for-profit foundation or program.

6.2.1. Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights.
(a) ADLS Patent Rights. ADLS, at its expense, shall have the sole right but not the obligation to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain, throughout the world, all ADLS Patent Rights other than Territory Patent Rights using counsel of its choice. ADLS shall have the first right but not the obligation to file or continue prosecution or maintenance of any application for an ADLS Patent Right in the Territory (a “Territory Patent Right”) using patent counsel selected by ADLS and reasonably acceptable to Wyeth. Before filing any Territory Patent Right, ADLS shall give Wyeth a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the text of the application. ADLS shall consult with Wyeth with respect to any such application, shall not unreasonably refuse to address any of Wyeth’s comments with respect to such application and shall supply Wyeth with a copy of each such application as filed, together with notice of its filing date and serial number. ADLS shall also keep Wyeth advised of the status of prosecution of all such patent applications included within the ADLS Patent Rights and shall reasonably consider timely comments of Wyeth with respect thereto, and provide Wyeth with a reasonable opportunity to comment on all material correspondence received from and all material submissions to be made to any government patent office or authority with respect to any such patent application or patent. In addition, if ADLS elects not to file in any country in the Territory a patent application on ADLS Know-How that, if filed, would be a Territory Patent Right, or to cease the prosecution or maintenance of any Territory Patent Right in the Territory, ADLS shall provide Wyeth with prompt written notice upon the decision to not file or continue the prosecution of such patent application or maintenance of such patent in sufficient time to allow Wyeth to file, continue prosecution of such application or maintain such patent in a timely manner. In such event, ADLS shall permit Wyeth, at Wyeth’s sole discretion, to file or continue prosecution or maintenance of such Territory Patent Right in the applicable country on ADLS’ behalf and at Wyeth’s own expense. If Wyeth elects to make such filing and/or continue such prosecution or maintenance, Wyeth may deduct from any payment to be made to ADLS hereunder any expenses incurred by Wyeth in connection therewith.
(b) Joint Patent Rights. In the event the Parties make any Joint Invention, the Parties shall promptly meet to discuss and
[***] Confidential Treatment Requested

determine, based on the advice of patent counsel selected jointly by the Parties, whether to seek patent protection thereon. If the Parties jointly decide to seek patent protection on a Joint Invention, the Parties shall jointly appoint one of the Parties (the “Prosecuting Party”) to have the obligation (subject to the opt out provisions of this Section 6.2.1(b)), to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain any Joint Patent Right throughout the world to the extent determined jointly by the Parties, using patent counsel selected by jointly the Parties. The Prosecuting Party shall give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the text of any application with respect to such Joint Patent Right before filing, shall consult with such other Party with respect thereto, shall not unreasonably refuse to address any timely comments of such other Party with respect to such application and shall supply such other Party with a copy of the application as filed, together with notice of its filing date and serial number. The Prosecuting Party shall keep the other Party advised of the status of the actual and prospective patent filings (including, without limitation, the grant of any Joint Patent Rights), and shall provide such other Party with advance copies of any material official correspondence related to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patent filings. Subject to the opt-out provisions below, the Party other than the Prosecuting Party shall reimburse the Prosecuting Party for [***] of the out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Prosecuting Party in preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining such Joint Patent Rights, which reimbursement will be made pursuant to invoices submitted by the Prosecuting Party to the other Party no more often than once per Calendar Quarter. If either Party (the “Declining Party”) at any time declines to share in the costs of filing, prosecuting and maintaining any such Joint Patent Right, on a country-by-country basis, the Declining Party shall provide the other Party (the “Continuing Party”) with thirty (30) days prior written notice to such effect, in which event the Declining Party shall (i) have no responsibility for any expenses incurred in connection with such Joint Patent Right in the applicable country after the end of such thirty (30) day period and (ii) if the Continuing Party elects to continue prosecution or maintenance, the Declining Party, upon the Continuing Party’s request, shall execute such documents and perform such acts, at the Continuing Party’s expense, as may be reasonably necessary (x) to assign to the Continuing Party all of the Declining Party’s right, title and interest in and to such Joint Patent Right and (y) to permit the Continuing Party to file, prosecute and/or maintain such Joint Patent Right. Any such Joint Patent Right shall cease to be a

Joint Patent Right and shall become a Patent Right of the Continuing Party.
(c) No liability. Neither Party (the “First Party”) shall have any liability to the other Party (the “Second Party”) for any actions taken or not taken after exercising any right granted to the First Party under the provisions of this Section 6.2.1 to file a patent application or to assume or continue the prosecution or maintenance of a Patent Right which (in the case of any such patent application or Patent Right) the Second Party has elected not to file or not to prosecute or maintain or, in the case of any Joint Patent Right, not to pay for.
6.2.2. Enforcement of Patent Rights.
(a) Notice. If either Wyeth or ADLS becomes aware of any infringement, anywhere in the world, of any issued patent within the ADLS Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, it will promptly notify the other Party in writing to that effect.
(b) Patent Rights in the Territory. In all cases where such infringement occurs in the Territory or represents infringement of any Territory Patent Right or Joint Patent Right in the Territory, except in cases where any existing ADLS Third Party Agreement grants the first or sole right to prosecute such infringement to a Third Party, Wyeth shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to take action to obtain a discontinuance of infringement or bring suit against a Third Party infringer of such Patent Rights within [***] from the date of notice given pursuant to Section 6.2.2(a) and, with ADLS’ consent or if ADLS is a necessary and indispensable party, to join ADLS as a party plaintiff. Wyeth shall bear all the expenses of any suit brought by it claiming infringement of any such Patent Rights. ADLS will cooperate with Wyeth in any such suit and shall have the right to consult with Wyeth and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense. Wyeth shall incur no liability to ADLS as a consequence of such litigation or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom, including any decision holding any of such Patent Rights invalid or unenforceable. If, after the expiration of the foregoing [***] period (or, if earlier, the date upon which Wyeth provides written notice that it does not plan to seek a discontinuance or bring suit), Wyeth has not obtained a discontinuance of infringement of such Patent Rights or filed suit against any such Third Party infringer of such Patent Rights, then ADLS shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such Third Party infringer of such
[***] Confidential Treatment Requested

Patent Rights and to join Wyeth as a party plaintiff, provided that ADLS shall bear all the expenses of such suit. Wyeth will cooperate with ADLS in any such suit for infringement of such Patent Rights brought by ADLS against a Third Party, and shall have the right to consult with ADLS and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense. ADLS shall incur no liability to Wyeth as a consequence of such litigation or any unfavorable decision resulting therefrom, including any decision holding any of such Patent Rights invalid or unenforceable. Neither Party shall have the right to settle any patent infringement litigation under this Section 6.2.2(b) in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any recoveries obtained by either Party as a result of any proceeding against a Third Party infringer (where the infringement relates to the Manufacture, importation, use, offer for sale or sale of any Product) shall be allocated as follows:
(i) Such recovery shall first be used to reimburse each Party for all out-of-pocket costs in connection with such litigation paid by that Party;
(ii) [***];
(iii) [***].
(c) Joint Patent Rights Outside the Territory. With respect to any notice of a Third Party infringer of the Joint Patent Rights outside the Territory, the Parties shall meet as soon as reasonably practicable to discuss such infringement and determine an appropriate course of action, including an initial allocation of the fees and expenses of such course of action. The Parties jointly shall appoint one of the Parties (the “Leading Party”) to bring an action against such Third Party infringer or otherwise address such alleged infringement within [***] from the date of notice and to control such litigation or other means of addressing such infringement. The other Party shall cooperate with the Leading Party in any such suit brought by the Leading Party and shall have the right to consult with the Leading Party and participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at its own expense. The Leading Party shall not have the right to settle any patent infringement litigation under this Section 6.2.2(c) in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party, such

consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any recoveries obtained by either Party shall be allocated as in Section 6.2.2(b).
6.2.3. Infringement and Third Party Licenses.
(a) Notice of Potential Infringement of Third Party Rights. If the making, having made, importing, exporting, using, distributing, marketing, promoting, offering for sale or selling of any Product is alleged by a Third Party to infringe a Third Party’s patent or other intellectual property rights, the Party becoming aware of such allegation shall promptly notify the other Party. Additionally, if either Party determines that, based upon the review of a Third Party’s patent or patent application or other intellectual property rights, it may be desirable to obtain a license from such Third Party with respect thereto, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of such determination.
(b) Option to Negotiate.

In such a case, Wyeth shall notify ADLS at least ten (10) days prior to the date set forth by statute or regulation of its intent to exercise, or not exercise, this right.

10.2. Indemnification by Wyeth. Wyeth will indemnify, defend and hold harmless ADLS and its Affiliates, Licensees and each of their respective employees, officers, directors and agents (each, an “ADLS Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and cost (collectively, a “Liability”) that the ADLS Indemnified Party may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties to the extent resulting from or arising out of (i) any claims of any nature, including product liability claims, arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of Compounds or Products by, on behalf of or under the authority of Wyeth (other than by ADLS, its Affiliates or Licensees or any of their respective employees, officers, directors and agents), or (ii) any breach by Wyeth of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of ADLS or any ADLS Indemnified Party or any breach by ADLS of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein.
10.3. Indemnification by ADLS. ADLS will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Wyeth and its Affiliates, Sublicensees and distributors and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a “Wyeth Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities that the Wyeth Indemnified Party may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties to the extent resulting from or arising out of (i) any claims of any nature, including product liability claims, arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Compound or Product by, on behalf of or under the authority of ADLS (other than by Wyeth, its Affiliates or Sublicensees or any of their respective employees, officers, directors and agents), or (ii) any breach by ADLS of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Wyeth or any Wyeth Indemnified Party or any breach by Wyeth of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein.
10.4. Procedure. Each Party will notify the other promptly in the event it becomes aware of a claim for which indemnification may be sought hereunder. In furtherance and not in limitation of the preceding sentence, in case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Wyeth Indemnified Party or ADLS Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 10, ADLS (if such proceeding is initiated against an ADLS Indemnified Party) or Wyeth (if such proceeding is initiated against a Wyeth Indemnified Party) (such Party referred to as the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party first becomes aware of such proceeding and the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall then promptly meet to discuss how to respond to any claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party claim subject to indemnification obligations hereunder. The Indemnifying Party, upon assuming
[***] Confidential Treatment Requested

57
REDACTED COPY
the defense of the claim, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of the claim and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding, or any litigation resulting from any such claim. In any such proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (a) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (b) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. All such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is, or arising out of the same set of facts could have been, a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
10.5. Insurance. ADLS shall obtain and maintain, during the Term, commercial general liability insurance, including products liability insurance, with reputable and financially secure insurance carriers to cover its indemnification obligations under Section 10.3, with limits of not less than [***] per occurrence and in the aggregate. Insurance shall be procured with carriers having an A.M. Best Rating of A-VII or better.
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
11.1. General. Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled, if possible, through good faith negotiations between the Parties. However, subject to Section 3.3 with respect to decisions of the Steering Committee and other committees established under this Agreement, if the Parties are unable to settle such dispute after good faith negotiations, the matter shall be referred to the Executive Officers (having authority to bind the Parties with respect to such dispute, subject to obtaining any necessary corporate or management approvals) to be resolved by negotiation in good faith as soon as is practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after referral. The resolution, if any, of a referred matter shall be reduced to writing signed by such Executive Officers and thereafter shall be final and binding on the Parties.

11.2. Failure of Officers to Resolve Dispute.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any interest hereunder shall be assignable by either Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except a Party may make an assignment of its entire interest in this Agreement without the other Party’s consent to an Affiliate or to a successor to all or substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale of assets, exclusive transfer of technology or other transaction, provided that, in the case of assignment to an Affiliate, the assigning Party shall guarantee the performance of this Agreement by such Affiliate. Each successor or permitted assign shall promptly provide the other Party written notice of its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, and the name of a Party appearing herein shall be deemed to include the names of such Party’s successors and permitted assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Any assignment not in accordance with this Section 12.1 shall be void. In addition, ADLS shall not assign any interest in the Licensed Rights to any Third Party or Affiliate unless such assignee agrees in writing that such assignment is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the rights granted to Wyeth hereunder.
12.2. Further Actions. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of the Agreement.
12.3. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for delay or failure in the performance of the obligations on its part contained in this Agreement if and to the extent that such failure or delay is due to circumstances beyond its control which it could not have avoided by the exercise of reasonable diligence. Such Party shall notify the other Party promptly should such circumstances arise, giving an indication of the likely extent and duration thereof, and shall use all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resume performance of its obligations as soon as practicable, provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to settle any labor dispute or disturbance.

12.6. Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be waived by any act, omission or knowledge of a Party or its agents or employees except by an instrument in writing expressly waiving such provision and signed by a duly authorized officer of the waiving Party. The waiver by either of the Parties of any breach of any provision hereof by the other Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision itself.
12.7. Severability. If any clause or portion thereof in this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the same shall not affect any other portion of this Agreement, as it is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement shall be construed in such fashion as to maintain its existence, validity and enforceability to the greatest extent possible. In any such event, this Agreement shall be construed as if such clause of portion thereof had never been contained in this Agreement, and there shall be deemed substituted therefor such provision as will most nearly carry out the intent of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

jurisdiction (or a state court if no federal court has jurisdiction) located in New York, New York and the Parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
12.10. Entire Agreement of the Parties. This Agreement constitutes and contains the complete, final and exclusive understanding and agreement of the Parties respecting the subject matter hereof and cancels and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, among the Parties respecting the subject matter hereof.
12.11. Independent Contractors. Both Parties are independent contractors under this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties or any of their agents or employees, or any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party. Neither Party shall have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.
12.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which need not contain the signature of more than one Party but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

12.14. Change of Control of ADLS.
12.14.1. Change of Control Notice. ADLS shall notify Wyeth in writing promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days) following the entering into of a definitive agreement with respect to a Change of Control of ADLS.
12.14.2. Disposition Upon Divestiture. If, in connection with any Change of Control of ADLS, any governmental agency requires ADLS (including, but not limited to, pursuant to a consent decree) to divest its interest in any Product or this Agreement (the “Divested Asset(s)”), Wyeth shall have the right to purchase ADLS’ interest in the Divested Asset(s) for fair consideration. ADLS shall propose in writing a purchase price for the Divested Asset(s) within [***] after receiving notice of such divestiture requirement. Wyeth shall have [***] after receipt of such written proposal to accept or reject the proposed price for the Divested Asset(s). If Wyeth rejects the proposed price, ADLS shall be free to offer the Divested Asset(s) for sale to a Third Party for [***]. If no sale to a Third Party is consummated within such [***] period, the provisions of this Section 12.14.2 requiring ADLS to first offer the Divested Assets to Wyeth shall again apply.
12.14.3. Right to Terminate if Confirmation of Continued Priority Not Received. Wyeth may terminate this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to any one or more Product(s) upon any Change of Control of ADLS unless, within [***] following the closing of such Change of Control, Wyeth has received from ADLS, and any Third Party who is acquiring or has acquired control of ADLS, written confirmation reasonably satisfactory to Wyeth to the effect that (i) after such Change of Control, the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of Products as contemplated by this Agreement will have a priority for ADLS or its successor following such Change of Control which is equal to or greater than the priority that such Development, Manufacture and Commercialization had for ADLS prior to such Change of Control; and (ii) ADLS will continue to meet all of its obligations under this Agreement following such Change of Control. Any termination by Wyeth under this Section 12.14.3 shall be treated as a termination for cause under Section 9.2.
12.14.4. Rights if Acquiror Has Competing Product. Furthermore, in the event that a Change of Control of ADLS results in ADLS or any Affiliate of ADLS having, immediately following the
[***] Confidential Treatment Requested

Change of Control, marketing or royalty rights to, or any other substantial financial interest in, any Competing Product, Wyeth may, in its sole discretion, regardless of any assurances provided by ADLS, terminate this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to any one or more Product(s). Any termination by Wyeth under this Section 12.14.4 shall be treated as a termination for cause under Section 9.2.
12.14.5. No Relief from Obligation. Nothing in this Section 12.14 shall relieve ADLS of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
12.15. Right of First Offer. Wyeth is hereby granted a Right of First Offer (as hereinafter defined) to Develop and Commercialize Products in [***]. The “Right of First Offer” shall mean a written offer (the “Offer”) presented by ADLS to Wyeth to exclusively Develop and Commercialize Products in [***]. The Offer shall be presented to Wyeth before any such rights to Develop and Commercialize Products in [***] are offered or granted by or on behalf of ADLS to any Third Party. The Offer shall disclose the proposed terms and conditions of the arrangement and any other material facts relating to the Offer. Wyeth shall have [***] after receipt of the Offer to accept or reject it in writing. In the event that Wyeth accepts such Offer, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into a written agreement containing the terms of such Development and Commercialization in [***]. Except for any terms and conditions expressly set forth in the Offer, such agreement between the Parties for [***] shall be substantially on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Wyeth rejects the Offer, ADLS shall be free to make similar offers to Third Parties for a period of [***] on terms and conditions, on the whole, no less favorable to ADLS than those offered to Wyeth. If, after such [***] period, ADLS has not entered into a written agreement with a Third Party granting to such Third Party rights to Develop and Commercialize Products in [***], ADLS shall not offer or grant to a Third Party any rights to Develop or Commercialize Products in [***] without again complying with the provisions of this Section 12.15.

2. Inventory; Launch. ADLS shall at all times maintain an inventory of each Product (in bulk tablet form) equal to [***] of the estimate provided to ADLS under Section 1 above for the next [***]. ADLS shall at all times maintain an inventory of the API for each Product, and/or such Product in bulk tablet form, sufficient to support supply of [***] of the estimate for such Product provided to ADLS under Section 1 above for the next [***]. Such inventory shall be maintained by ADLS at no charge to Wyeth. The Supply Agreement shall also contain appropriate provisions with respect to launch quantities of Products.
3. Shelf Life. Each shipment of Products shall have, as of the date of receipt by Wyeth, at least [***] of remaining shelf life.
4. Third Party Manufacturers. At all times during the Term and as provided in Section 9 below, ADLS shall satisfy its supply obligations to Wyeth hereunder through binding written agreements with qualified Third Parties engaged to perform services or supply facilities or goods in connection with the Manufacture of Products, provided that ADLS shall not enter into any such agreement unless prior thereto ADLS shall have given Wyeth a written summary identifying the proposed manufacturer and the principal terms of such proposed agreement and Wyeth shall not have reasonably objected thereto in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of such summary. Upon reasonable request, ADLS shall permit and arrange for Wyeth to conduct due diligence inspections of any proposed Third Party manufacturers.
5. Changes. Except as otherwise permitted under the change control procedures to be specified in the Supply Agreement, ADLS shall not modify or change the process, specifications, materials, suppliers, facilities or analytical testing methods used in connection with the Manufacture of Products, regardless of whether such modification or change requires the approval of any Regulatory Authority, without the prior written consent of Wyeth, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. ADLS shall provide Wyeth with a written summary of all proposed modifications or changes and must receive the written approval of Wyeth prior to the implementation thereof, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6. Failure to Supply. ADLS shall give Wyeth prompt written notice if ADLS becomes aware that it will not be able to satisfy Wyeth’s requirements for Products in any material way. In such event, or in the event that, without such prior notice, ADLS actually fails to materially satisfy Wyeth’s requirements for Products, Wyeth and ADLS shall promptly work together, in good faith, to devise and implement measures to cure such failure to supply or to identify an appropriate alternative source of Products. In addition, in the event of an uncured failure to supply, if Wyeth determines to utilize an alternative source of Products, at Wyeth’s request, ADLS shall promptly transfer to Wyeth or its designee, at no cost to Wyeth, all Know-How and other technical information necessary or useful to permit Wyeth to make or have made Products, provided that, pending the full transfer of supply to an alternative source, ADLS shall use best efforts to continue to supply Wyeth’s requirements for Products until such time as Wyeth determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that such alternative supplier is fully able to supply all such requirements. Until such time, available quantities of Products shall be allocated pro-rata among Wyeth’s requirements hereunder for the Territory and ADLS’ requirements for outside the Territory based upon their relative sales of the applicable Products for the immediately preceding [***] period, or if such shortages occur during or prior to the first [***] period of sales for a Product, then such pro-rata allocation shall be based upon the Parties’ then current relative annualized projected requirements for such Product.
7. Transfer Price. The transfer price for commercial supplies of the Current Product purchased by Wyeth during the Royalty Term shall be [***].

9. Survival. In the event that Wyeth terminates the Agreement with respect to any Product pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.4 of the Agreement, at Wyeth’s option the Supply Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to any such Product until such time as ADLS and Wyeth are able to transfer all Third Party supply arrangements relating to such Product directly to Wyeth and, pending such transfer, ADLS shall use best efforts to ensure Wyeth’s continued supply of any such Product from any applicable Third Party manufacturer(s).
10. Qualification of Back-Up Manufacturers. Wyeth shall have the right to qualify potential back-up manufacturers (for both API and Products) for use in the event that Wyeth elects to Manufacture or have Manufactured any Product due to a failure by ADLS to supply or have supplied such Product to Wyeth.
