ARTICLE 4
(a) Prior to NDA Approval. Prior to approval of the NDA for the Product in the U.S. Territory, Transcept shall have the sole responsibility and right to conduct, at its sole cost, any Development work (including clinical trials) to the extent required by the FDA for NDA approval of the Product. Prior to undertaking any such Development work, Transcept shall provide the JDC with its overall plan (including clinical trial design if applicable) in sufficient time for review and comment by the JDC. Transcept shall reasonably consult with the JDC with respect to any such Development work and Transcept shall be obligated to provide to the JDC any data or results generated by or on behalf of Transcept in the performance of such Development work. Other than the foregoing, prior to approval of the NDA for the Product, neither Party shall have the right to perform any Development work ([***]) with respect to the Product, unless agreed by the Parties in writing; provided, however, that in the event that, during such period, Transcept desires to perform non-clinical Development work in support of Regulatory Approval of the Product in the Transcept Territory, Purdue shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay approval of such work.
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. These portions have been omitted from this exhibit and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
23
(b) After NDA Approval. Following approval of the NDA for the Product in the U.S. Territory, neither Party shall conduct Development activities with respect to the Product anywhere in the world, without the prior approval of the JDC, except that (i) Purdue may conduct at its sole expense any clinical trial of the Product that is a post-approval requirement of, or otherwise requested by, the FDA, and (ii) either Party may manufacture Product subject to Section 5.8. In the event the Parties agree or it is determined pursuant to Section 3.10 that Development activities shall be conducted, then the Party performing the Development activities shall (A) be responsible for all of its costs in connection with such Development activities, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, and (B) be obligated to provide to the other Party any data or results generated by or on behalf of such Party in the performance thereof.
(a) Transcept Responsibility Prior to NDA Approval. Prior to final approval by the FDA of the NDA for the Product, Transcept shall be responsible for preparing and filing all Regulatory Materials and seeking all Regulatory Approvals in the U.S. Territory, including preparing all reports necessary as part of an NDA. During this period, all Regulatory Materials for Products in the U.S. Territory shall be filed in the name of Transcept, and Transcept alone shall be responsible for all communications and other dealings with regulatory agencies relating to the Products in the U.S. Territory. As between the Parties, during this period, Transcept shall be the legal and beneficial owner of all Regulatory Approvals in the U.S. Territory. All costs associated with the foregoing regulatory activities shall be borne solely by Transcept. Transcept shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain final approval by the FDA of the NDA for the Product.
Prior to final approval by the FDA of the NDA for the Product, Transcept shall promptly notify Purdue of all material Regulatory Materials (including all material written communications with the FDA) that it submits or receives and shall promptly provide Purdue with a copy (which may be wholly or partly in electronic form) of such Regulatory Materials in the U.S. Territory for review by Purdue. Transcept shall retain the right to make any final decisions with respect to the content of any such communications; provided, however, that Purdue shall be entitled to approve in advance in writing any commitments to post-approval activity required for FDA approval of the NDA, which approval by Purdue shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Transcept shall provide Purdue with reasonable advance notice of any scheduled meeting with any Regulatory Authority relating to the Product and/or any Regulatory Approval in the U.S. Territory, and Purdue shall have the right to have up to three (3) individuals attend any such meeting as non-participating observers, to the extent practicable and permitted by Applicable Law; provided that Transcept will retain the lead role and responsibility in any such meetings.
(b) Notice of NDA Approval and Review by Purdue. Immediately upon receipt of NDA approval by the FDA for the Product, Transcept shall provide Purdue with a copy of all Regulatory Materials received as part of the approval from the FDA, including a copy of the full prescribing information for the Product (including any patient information, medication guide and/or Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (“REMS”), if any) for review by Purdue in order for Purdue to determine whether to proceed with the Commercialization of the Product
24
under this Agreement. No later than ten (10) Business Days from receipt by Purdue of all of such information, Purdue shall provide written notice to Transcept that either (i) Purdue will proceed with the Commercialization of the Product under this Agreement (the “Purdue Notice”), in which case Purdue shall make the payment calculated in accordance with Section 7.2(a), or (ii) Purdue is terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.2(b). If Purdue fails to provide the Purdue Notice or a termination notice within such time period, Purdue shall be deemed to have provided the Purdue Notice.
(c) Purdue Responsibilities Following NDA Approval. Within thirty (30) days after Purdue has made the payment set forth in Section 7.2(a), Transcept will transfer all right, title and interest in the Regulatory Materials (including the electronic inventory but excluding the IND and NDA) for the Product to Purdue. Within ten (10) days of receipt, Purdue will confirm whether Purdue reasonably believes that a full and complete transfer of such Regulatory Materials has occurred. If such full and complete transfer has not occurred, Transcept shall transfer any missing Regulatory Materials or otherwise correct any deficiencies within five (5) days of notice from Purdue. Once the transfer of such Regulatory Materials to Purdue is complete, then within two (2) Business Days, Transcept will transfer all right, title and interest in the NDA for the Product to Purdue and the Parties will provide appropriate notice to the FDA. Thereafter, Purdue will be responsible for all regulatory affairs for the Product in the U.S. Territory, at Purdue’s sole expense, including regulatory reporting and maintenance requirements, medical safety services, pharmacovigilance, product recall, and customer complaints with respect to Product in the U.S. Territory. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, following transfer of the NDA to Purdue, Purdue will be responsible for negotiating with the FDA, and developing and implementing, an FDA approved REMS, if required (it being recognized that a REMS plan may be agreed to in conjunction with receipt of the initial FDA approval), and at Purdue’s reasonable request, Transcept will cooperate and assist Purdue in respect of such endeavor. Purdue agrees that, during the Term, it shall not transfer any right, title and interest in the NDA for the Product or any Regulatory Materials to any Affiliate (other than a U.S. Affiliate) or any Third Party, except pursuant to Section 14.5.
Purdue shall promptly notify Transcept of all material Regulatory Materials (including all material written communications with the FDA) that it submits or receives, and shall promptly provide Transcept with a copy (which may be wholly or partly in electronic form) of such Regulatory Materials for review by Transcept. Purdue shall retain the right to make any final decisions with respect to the content of any such communications. Purdue will provide Transcept with reasonable advance notice of any scheduled meeting with any Regulatory Authority relating to the Product and/or any Regulatory Approval in the U.S. Territory, and Transcept shall have the right to have up to three (3) individuals attend any such meeting as non-participating observers, to the extent practicable and permitted by Applicable Law, provided that Purdue will retain the lead role and responsibility in any such meetings.
25
Approvals owned or Controlled by Purdue solely for the purpose of obtaining Regulatory Approval for Product in the Transcept Territory during the Term. Notwithstanding the terms of Article 2, each Party shall have the right, without any additional payment, to use any clinical data developed by the other Party and its Affiliates relating to the Product solely (a) to support the Regulatory Approval of Products in such Party’s territory and (b) for Promotional, marketing, and medical education purposes in support of the Commercialization of Product in such Party’s territory, which right may be sublicensed by such Party (with the consent of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any Third Party collaborator or licensee that agrees to allow any Product-related clinical data developed by such collaborator to be used by the other Party for such purposes in a reciprocal manner in such other Party’s territory. For clarity, the rights of reference and use granted by this Section 4.3 shall be in addition to the licenses and other rights granted under this Agreement and shall be independent of the ownership of the Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Approvals as allocated or transferred by this Agreement.
4.5 Communications with Regulatory Authorities.

ARTICLE 5
COMMERCIALIZATION; MANUFACTURING
27
(a) Commercialization of the Product under this Agreement shall be governed by a written marketing plan setting forth anticipated Commercialization activities to be performed with respect to Product in the U.S. Territory by Purdue or on its behalf by Third Parties (including market research studies, launch plans, detailing and Promotion), as well as projected timelines and line-item quarterly budgets for such activities (the “Marketing Plan”). Each updated Marketing Plan shall include plans for sales training, staffing, Detailing and call plans, Sample Authorization quantities, pricing and contracting strategy, Product positioning and communication strategy, convention and trade show attendance, DTC and non-DTC advertising.
(b) Promptly following the Effective Date, Purdue shall develop via the BBU a draft Marketing Plan covering activities to be conducted in preparation of Product Launch and during Sales Year 1. No later than [***] after the later of the Effective Date or approval of the NDA for the Product by the FDA, Purdue shall provide the JCC with a draft outline of the launch plan for the Product in the U.S. Territory. No later than [***] after the later of the Effective Date or approval of the NDA for the Product by the FDA, Purdue shall propose a draft Marketing Plan to the JCC. Purdue shall consult with Transcept through meetings of the JCC in the development of such launch year Marketing Plan (i.e., while it is still being developed by the BBU). The JCC shall either approve the proposed Marketing Plan or request specific changes to it. The BBU shall then modify the proposal based on the JCC direction and re-submit the Marketing Plan for JCC review and approval.
(c) Purdue shall thereafter update the Marketing Plan via the BBU on an annual basis as follows: Purdue shall provide the JCC with a draft update to the Marketing Plan no later than September 15 of each year. In preparing the updated version of the Marketing Plan, the BBU shall analyze the effectiveness of the elements of the prior year Marketing Plan and an updated sales forecast to develop a future year Marketing Plan. The JCC shall either approve the proposed Marketing Plan or request specific changes to it. The BBU shall then modify the proposal based on the JCC direction and re-submit the Marketing Plan for JCC review and approval. Purdue may, at its election, update the Marketing Plan between annual updates by following this same procedure.
(d) Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts in performing its obligations under this Section 5.2 concerning (as applicable) the preparation, review, and approval of the Marketing Plan.
(e) In the event of any inconsistency between the Marketing Plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. These portions have been omitted from this exhibit and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
28
(a) Product Launch. Purdue shall commence a Product Launch in the U.S. Territory no later than [***] after the date upon which Regulatory Approval for such Product is granted in the U.S. Territory, provided that such [***] period may be extended by up to [***] as reasonably determined by the JCC, and provided further that Purdue shall not be obligated to commence a Product Launch if a Third Party manufacturer fails to complete its obligations in connection with Product Launch (including the obligation to supply sufficient initial launch quantities of Product to satisfy the Marketing Plan not less than [***] following the date upon which Regulatory Approval for the Product is granted in the U.S. Territory) and such failure makes it impossible or impracticable to meet this deadline, in which case Purdue shall commence such Product Launch as soon as commercially reasonable thereafter. As part of its Purdue PDE Commitment set forth in Section 5.3(c), Purdue shall provide no less than [***] in the [***].
(i) [***] for each of the [***] Years for Promotional spend other than DTC advertising costs; and
(ii) [***] for DTC advertising costs for each of [***] after DTC advertising is allowed under Applicable Law, except to the extent DTC advertising is constrained by any Governmental Authority or industry guideline, in which case such amounts shall be used as soon as practical. For clarity, it is anticipated that Purdue will perform certain preparatory work relating to DTC advertising prior to DTC advertising being allowed under Applicable Law, and the amounts spent by Purdue on such preparatory work shall be included as DTC advertising costs for [***] period described above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) in the event a Marketplace Change occurs or a Generic Product is approved and is reasonably likely to be launched within [***] of approval in the U.S. Territory, the JCC shall appropriately reduce Purdue’s minimum Promotional spend under this Section and (B) in the event a Governmental Authority in the U.S. Territory alters the existing tax treatment of Promotional spending, then Purdue shall have the right, in its discretion, to re-allocate the amounts set forth in subsection (ii) above to other Promotional activities or Detailing in support of the Product.
The allocation of this Promotional spend shall be further detailed in the Marketing Plan. After the periods set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above, Purdue shall support the Product with a Promotional spend that is consistent with the amounts budgeted in the applicable Marketing Plan.
If the actual level of Promotional spend provided by Purdue during any period set forth in subsections (i) or (ii) above is less than [***] but greater than or equal to [***] of the target set forth above, then Purdue shall make up the shortfall in the following [***] (i.e., in addition to
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. These portions have been omitted from this exhibit and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
29
the baseline level of Promotional spend established by the budget for such [***] in the most recently approved Marketing Plan covering such [***]). If the actual level of Promotional spend provided by Purdue during any period set forth in (i) or (ii) above is less than [***] of the target set forth above, then Purdue shall make up [***] of the shortfall in the following [***] (i.e., in addition to the baseline level of Promotional spend established by the budget for such [***] in the most recently approved Marketing Plan covering such [***]). If Purdue fails to make up such shortfall by the end of [***] required by the preceding two sentences, then Purdue shall [***].
(c) Purdue PDE Commitment. Purdue shall comply with the following PDE requirements during the Purdue PDE Commitment Term in the U.S. Territory:
(i) Purdue shall Detail the Product in the U.S. Territory at a level no less than [***] of the PDE Target listed below for each Sales Year during the Purdue PDE Commitment Term ([***], the “Purdue PDE Commitment”), subject to the remainder of this Section 5.3 and to any modifications set forth in Article 6:
PDE Target if Transcept has not commenced Promotion activities under the Co-Promotion Right | PDE Target if Transcept has commenced Promotion activities under the Co- Promotion Right | |||
Sales Year [***] | [***] | [***] | ||
Sales Year [***] | [***] | [***] | ||
Sales Years [***] | [***] | [***] |
All PDE Targets in the foregoing table refer to PDEs per Sales Year to physicians in [***] of insomnia prescribers in the U.S. Territory as such deciles are defined by IMS.
(ii) Purdue shall provide the Purdue PDE Commitments in any Sales Year through its own employees and/or through the engagement of a contract sales organization.
(iii) If the actual number of PDEs provided by Purdue during any Sales Year (or for Sales Year [***], during the first half of such Sales Year) is less than [***] but equal to or greater than [***] of the PDE Target set forth in the foregoing table for such Sales Year or half of a Sales Year, as the case may be (with PDE Targets for a half of Sales Year [***] calculated by [***] the PDE Targets set forth in the table above by [***]) then Purdue shall make up the difference between the actual number of PDEs and the applicable Purdue PDE Commitment (the “Purdue Shortfall”) in the [***] of the following Sales Year or of the second half of Sales Year [***], as the case may be (i.e., in addition to the Purdue PDE Commitment for such [***], as determined by [***] the Purdue PDE Commitment for the next Sales Year by [***] or in addition to the Purdue PDE Commitment for the second half of Sales Year [***] as applicable). Purdue shall make up the Purdue Shortfall either (A) through the provision of additional PDEs equaling the Purdue Shortfall, (B) by
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. These portions have been omitted from this exhibit and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
30
applying the Purdue PDE Cost of additional PDEs equaling the Purdue Shortfall to an equivalent value of other Product sales and/or marketing support (where such additional sales and/or marketing support will be measured relative to the baseline established by the budget for such [***] in the most recently approved Marketing Plan covering such [***]), or (C) by some combination of (A) and (B) in Purdue’s discretion.
(iv) If the actual number of PDEs provided by Purdue during any Sales Year (or for Sales Year [***], during the first half of such Sales Year) is less than [***] of the PDE Target set forth in the foregoing table but greater than [***] for such Sales Year or [***] for a half of a Sales Year, as the case may be (with PDE Targets for a half of Sales Year [***] calculated by [***] the PDE Targets set forth in the table above by [***]), then Purdue shall make up [***] of the difference between the actual number of PDEs and the applicable Purdue PDE Commitment (the “Purdue [***] Shortfall”) in the [***] of the following Sales Year or of the second half of Sales Year [***], as the case may be (i.e., in addition to the Purdue PDE Commitment for such Sales Quarter, as determined by [***] the Purdue PDE Commitment for the next Sales Year by [***] or in addition to the Purdue PDE Commitment for the second half of Sales Year [***], as applicable). Purdue shall make up the Purdue [***] Shortfall either (A) through the provision of additional PDEs equaling the Purdue [***] Shortfall, (B) by applying the Purdue PDE Cost of additional PDEs equaling the Purdue [***] Shortfall to an equivalent value of other Product sales and/or marketing support (where such additional sales and/or marketing support will be measured relative to the baseline established by the budget for such [***] in the most recently approved Marketing Plan covering such [***]) or (C) by some combination of (A) and (B) in Purdue’s discretion. The calculation of the value of any such Purdue [***] Shortfall in Purdue PDE Commitment and the application of such value to Product sales and/or marketing support shall be a matter submitted to, and approved by, the JCC and Transcept on a timely basis so that the value of such Purdue [***] Shortfall can be applied as soon as practicable.
For purposes of illustration only, if Purdue were to deliver [***] PDEs in the first Sales Year (i.e., [***] of the PDE Target of [***] PDEs) with a Purdue [***] Shortfall of [***] PDEs, Purdue would spend [***] (i.e., [***] of [***] PDEs multiplied by the Purdue PDE Cost of [***]) on a combination of PDEs and other Promotional spend during the [***] of the second Sales Year beyond the targeted PDEs and Promotional spend for the [***] of second Sales Year.
(v) If Purdue fails to make up the Purdue Shortfall or Purdue [***] Shortfall by the end of the [***] required by Section 5.3(c)(iii) or (iv), respectively, then: (A) Purdue shall [***], and (B) [***].
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. These portions have been omitted from this exhibit and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
31
(vi) If prior to the end of the Purdue PDE Commitment Term and provided that a Marketplace Change has not occurred, the actual number of PDEs provided by Purdue during any [***] period falls below [***], Transcept shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Purdue. The effect of such termination is described in Article 12.
(vii) If Net Sales in Sales Year [***] are below [***], or if Net Sales in Sales Year [***] are below [***], or if Net Sales in Sales Year [***] are below [***], then, provided that Purdue satisfied the Purdue PDE Commitment for such Sales Year, the JCC shall appropriately reduce the Purdue PDE Commitment for the Product for each subsequent Sales Year of the Purdue PDE Commitment Term. Unless Transcept otherwise agrees, the JCC shall not be permitted to reduce the Purdue PDE Commitment, on a percentage basis, by more than the percentage shortfall of Net Sales below the thresholds provided above, plus [***]; provided, however, that if the percentage shortfall of Net Sales below the thresholds provided above is greater than [***], then the JCC shall be free to reduce the Purdue PDE Commitment without restriction. Thereafter, the provisions of this Section 5.3(c) (other than subsection (vi) and this subsection (vii)) shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such new PDE targets. For purposes of illustration only, (1) if Net Sales in Sales Year [***] are [***], which is [***] lower than [***], then the Purdue PDE Commitment for Sales Year [***] may be reduced by up to [***], or (2) if Net Sales in Sales Year [***] are [***], which is [***] lower than [***], then the JCC shall be free to reduce the Purdue PDE Commitment for Sales Year [***] without restriction.
(viii) If a Marketplace Change occurs, the JCC shall appropriately reduce the Purdue PDE Commitment for the Product for the remainder of the Purdue PDE Commitment Term.
(ix) During the first [***] Sales Years during the Purdue PDE Commitment Term, (A) a minimum of [***] of the total Purdue PDE Commitment shall be in the Primary Detail position, and (B) a maximum of [***] of the total Purdue PDE Commitment shall be permitted to be in the Secondary Detail position. For the [***] Years during the Purdue PDE Commitment Term, a maximum [***] of the total Purdue PDE Commitment shall be permitted to be in the Tertiary Detail position.
(x) The terms and conditions of this Section 5.3(c) set forth Transcept’s sole and exclusive remedies for Purdue’s failure to provide the Purdue PDE Commitment in any Sales Quarter and such failure shall not be treated as a material breach of this Agreement by Purdue under Section 12.3; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Transcept’s available remedies with respect to Purdue’s failure to [***] under Section 5.3(c)(v).

(a) On a [***] basis during Sales Years 1 to 5 and [***] basis thereafter during the Term, an email report of gross sales of the Products in the U.S. Territory during said period and on a Sales Year-to-date basis;
(b) Within [***] days after the end of each calendar quarter during the Term following Product Launch, Purdue shall provide to the JCC a written report summarizing Purdue’s material Commercialization activities pursuant to this Agreement for such quarter and on a calendar year-to-date basis, including: (i) the number of Details made (by Primary Details, Secondary Details and Tertiary Details); (ii) the total number of Samples Authorizations delivered and/or redeemed, and (iii) Information in Purdue’s possession regarding any direct mail advertising, journal advertising and DTC advertising.
Any report submitted to Transcept by Purdue under this Agreement shall be in a reasonable format, as determined by Purdue in its discretion. Each such report shall be considered Purdue’s Confidential Information.
(a) The Parties agree that Purdue and its Affiliates will have the right [***] to enter into an agreement or sublicense with one or more Affiliates or Third Parties that have experience in the commercialization of generic pharmaceutical products, in order to market, advertise, Promote, offer to sell and sell in the U.S. Territory one or more Authorized Generics.
(b) Purdue may, in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the JCC, launch or authorize the launch of any Authorized Generic in the U.S. Territory, upon either (i)

final FDA approval of a Generic Product or (ii) [***]. Purdue will have the right, in its sole discretion after consultation with the JCC, to terminate the distribution of any Authorized Generic at any time. Except as set forth above and subject to Purdue’s obligations to its Affiliates and Third Parties, Purdue shall provide that any right or sublicense to market, advertise, Promote, offer to sell or sell in the U.S. Territory any Authorized Generic shall apply only during such time that there is a Generic Product in the distribution and supply chain in the U.S. Territory. Purdue shall provide Transcept with written notification of a launch of an Authorized Generic by, or on the authorization of, Purdue within twenty-four (24) hours after such launch.
5.8 Manufacture and Supply of Product.

(using either Third Parties or its own or its Affiliates’ facilities) for the manufacture and supply of Products in bulk and finished form for use or sale by Purdue, its Affiliates and its sublicensees in the U.S. Territory. The Parties acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, Purdue has entered into written agreements for the manufacture and supply of Product for sale by Purdue, its Affiliates and sublicensees in the U.S. Territory with certain Third Parties and that Purdue’s rights under such agreements are expressly contingent upon the approved NDA for the Product being transferred to Purdue pursuant to Section 4.2(c).
(c) Transfer of Manufacturing Technology. Upon the transfer to Purdue of the approved NDA for the Product pursuant to Section 4.2(c) and thereafter as reasonably necessary for so long as Product is manufactured by or on behalf of Purdue, Transcept shall transfer to Purdue, its Affiliate or a Third Party manufacturer selected by Purdue all Information, including the specifications for the Product, Controlled by Transcept at such time that is necessary or useful to enable Purdue, its Affiliate or such Third Party manufacturer (as appropriate) to replicate the process employed by or on behalf of Transcept to manufacture Product in accordance with the approved NDA. Purdue, its Affiliate and/or its Third Party manufacturer shall use any Information transferred pursuant to this Section 5.8(c) in accordance with the license granted in Section 2.1 and solely for the purpose of manufacturing Products for uses permitted under this Agreement, and for no other purpose. Transcept shall take all reasonable steps to ensure the smooth and timely transfer of the manufacturing process for Products to Purdue, its Affiliate or Third Party manufacturer. Purdue acknowledges and agrees that Transcept may condition its agreement to transfer (or to permit Purdue to transfer) any Transcept manufacturing technology or Information to a Third Party manufacturer (other than those Third Party manufacturers with which Purdue has written agreements as of the Effective Date) on the execution of a confidentiality agreement between such Third Party manufacturer and Purdue that contains obligations of confidentiality and non-use no less stringent than those of Article 11 of this Agreement. In the event that either (i) [***], or (ii) [***], then Transcept shall cooperate with Purdue or its Affiliate, and provide all reasonable assistance and take all reasonable actions (including executing any further agreements or documents) to enable Purdue or its Affiliate to [***] from any Third Party, either directly from such Third Party or through Transcept, under terms no less favorable to Purdue or its Affiliate than the terms applicable to Transcept.

Promotion of any Products in the U.S. Territory under the Co-Promotion Right shall be subject to the Purdue CIA and overseen by the JCC.
6.2 Option Period; Option Exercise. Transcept may exercise the Psychiatrist Co-Promotion Option by written notice to Purdue at any time during the Psychiatrist Co-Promotion Option Period, provided that Transcept may not exercise the Psychiatrist Co-Promotion Option if Transcept is in material breach of this Agreement and has not cured such breach within the sixty (60) day period set forth in Section 12.3(d).

6.5 Purdue Detailing to Psychiatrists. Notwithstanding Transcept’s exercise of the Psychiatrist Co-Promotion Option, Purdue retains the option to Detail the Product to Psychiatrists at Purdue’s expense, [***] pursuant to Section 7.6 or any other provision under this Agreement. Following Transcept’s exercise of the Psychiatrist Co-Promotion Option and until the Co-Promotion Commencement Date, Purdue shall continue to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Detail the Product to Psychiatrists in the U.S. Territory.
6.6 Grant of Co-Promotion Right. In the event Transcept exercises the Psychiatrist Co-Promotion Option by written notice to Purdue pursuant to Section 6.2, then commencing on the Co-Promotion Commencement Date, Purdue hereby grants to Transcept the co-exclusive (with Purdue) right to Promote Product to Psychiatrists in the U.S. Territory during the Co-Promotion Term, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein (the “Co-Promotion Right”). Transcept shall have the right to subcontract its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.12(a). For clarity, Transcept shall have no right to Detail or Promote the Product in the U.S. Territory prior to the Co-Promotion Commencement Date.
6.7 Co-Promotion Term. Subject to Section 6.11(c), the Co-Promotion Right shall commence on the date specified in subsection (a) or (b) below, as applicable (the “Co-Promotion Commencement Date”) and shall continue in effect until the expiration or termination of this Agreement, unless terminated earlier as provided in this Article 6 (the “Co-Promotion Term”); provided that in no event shall Transcept commence activities under the Co-Promotion Right prior to the end of Sales Year 1;
(a) If delivery of the written notice of the exercise of the Psychiatrist Co-Promotion Option by Transcept pursuant to Section 6.2 occurs on or prior to [***],
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. These portions have been omitted from this exhibit and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
38
the Co-Promotion Right by Transcept will commence [***] (with the exact start date to be determined by Transcept in its sole discretion but in consultation with Purdue and specified in the initial notice made in the prior calendar year). For example, if Transcept delivers notice to Purdue on or before [***], such notice may specify that Transcept shall begin Promoting the Product to Psychiatrists [***] and [***].
(b) If delivery of the written notice of the exercise of the Psychiatrist Co-Promotion Option by Transcept pursuant to Section 6.2 occurs [***], such notice shall specify that Promotion by Transcept under the Co-Promotion Right will commence [***]. For example, if Transcept delivers notice to Purdue on [***], such notice shall specify that Transcept shall begin Promoting the Product to Psychiatrists on [***].
6.8 Promotion to Non-Psychiatrists. If Transcept desires to Promote the Product to physicians (a) who are not Psychiatrists, (b) who are within a specific specialty agreed upon by the JCC, and (c) to whom Purdue is not Detailing the Product (the “Specialty Group Physicians”), then Transcept shall notify Purdue in writing. Upon approval of the JCC, Transcept shall have the right to Promote the Product to such Specialty Group Physicians in accordance with this Agreement, and the definition of Psychiatrists in this Agreement shall be deemed to include such Specialty Group Physicians for all purposes, except that Transcept’s Details to such Specialty Group Physicians shall not be included for the purpose of determining whether Transcept has satisfied its Transcept Minimum PDEs obligations under Section 6.11. The Parties will coordinate Transcept’s Detailing to Specialty Group Physicians by the Transcept Sales Force with Details by the Purdue Sales Force in a manner intended to increase effective coverage of the target audience and to decrease non-productive efforts.
6.9 Marketing Plan; Management. During the Co-Promotion Term, all Details and Promotion activities conducted by the Parties under this Agreement shall be in accordance with the then-current annual Marketing Plan prepared and approved under this Agreement, and will be overseen by the JCC. Transcept shall manage the Transcept Sales Force and shall implement Purdue’s sales strategies and plans including the Marketing Plan, except to the extent that activities, or lack of activity, proposed by Transcept are reviewed in sufficient detail for the JCC to make a reasonably informed determination and are approved in writing by the JCC. Transcept shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide the Transcept Sales Force with the level of oversight, management, direction and sales support with respect to the Promotion of Product to effectively and efficiently Promote the Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
6.10 Promotion of Products by Purdue. The Parties acknowledge that the Purdue PDE Commitment is reduced as set forth in Section 5.3(c)(i) of this Agreement upon the commencement of Promotion activities by Transcept under the Co-Promotion Right. Purdue’s election pursuant to Section 6.5 to Promote the Product to Psychiatrists shall not limit Transcept’s right to Promote the Product under the Co-Promotion Right to any and all Psychiatrists in the U.S. Territory. During any period in which the Purdue Sales Force is Promoting the Product to Psychiatrists, the Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts at the local level to coordinate such Details by the Purdue Sales Force with Details by the Transcept

Sales Force in a manner intended to increase effective coverage of the target audience and to decrease non-productive efforts.
6.11 Promotion of Product by Transcept.
(a) Upon the grant of the Co-Promotion Right and during the Co-Promotion Term, Transcept shall Detail and Promote the Product to Psychiatrists in the U.S. Territory in accordance with this Agreement and the then-current Marketing Plan, commencing on the Co-Promotion Commencement Date. Subject to the remainder of this Section 6.11, Transcept shall perform the following numbers of PDEs to Psychiatrists, but no fewer than [***] of such numbers (such full amounts, the “Transcept Target PDEs”, and [***] of the Transcept Target PDEs, the “Transcept Minimum PDEs”):
(i) during the [***] PDEs,
(ii) during the [***] PDEs, and
(iii) for all subsequent Sales Years during the Co-Promotion Term, that number of PDEs as determined by the JCC; provided that Transcept shall not be required, without its consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to perform a substantially greater portion of the total PDEs performed by both Parties than it is required to provide in the [***] Years.
The foregoing Transcept Target PDEs refer to PDEs per Sales Year to Psychiatrists in [***] of the insomnia prescribers in the U.S. Territory as defined by IMS.
If the Co-Promotion Commencement Date is not the first day of a Sales Year, then the PDE requirements for the Sales Year in which the Co-Promotion Commencement Date occurs shall be prorated accordingly for the period between the Co-Promotion Commencement Date and the end of the applicable Sales Year.
(b) Adjustment of Transcept Target PDEs.
(i) If Net Sales of Product in Sales [***] are below [***], or if Net Sales in Sales [***] are below [***], or if Net Sales in Sales [***] are below [***], the JCC shall appropriately reduce the Transcept Target PDEs for the Product for each subsequent Sales Year in a manner consistent with the reduction of the Purdue PDE Commitment pursuant to Section 5.3(c)(vii).
(ii) If a Marketplace Change occurs, the JCC shall appropriately reduce the Transcept Target PDEs for the Product in a manner consistent with the reduction of the Purdue PDE Commitment pursuant to Section 5.3(c)(viii).
(iii) If [***] for any two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, then Transcept shall reasonably reduce the Transcept Target PDEs and Transcept Minimum PDEs set forth in Section 6.11(a) by an appropriate amount solely for so long as [***]; provided that Transcept shall not reduce the
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. These portions have been omitted from this exhibit and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
40
Transcept Target PDEs and Transcept Minimum PDEs to a number that is less than [***] of the number of Transcept Target PDEs and Transcept Minimum PDEs set forth in Section 6.11(a).
(c) Termination of Transcept’s PDE Obligation. Transcept’s PDE obligations set forth in Section 6.11(a) of this Agreement (and Transcept’s right to receive royalties from Purdue pursuant to Section 7.6 of this Agreement) shall terminate upon the first to occur of: (i) termination of this Agreement, (ii) termination of the Co-Promotion Right, or (iii) the date of launch of a Generic Product in the U.S. Territory ([***]); provided, however, that in the case of subsection (iii), Transcept shall have the right to have the Co-Promotion Right reinstated at such time that (A) such Generic Product is no longer sold in the U.S. Territory and (B) Purdue’s unit sales volume of Product in the U.S. Territory returns to the unit sales volume achieved prior to the approval of such Generic Product; provided that Transcept may not make such election if Transcept is in material breach of this Agreement and has not cured such breach within the sixty (60) day period set forth in Section 12.3(d). If Transcept elects to have the Co-Promotion Right reinstated, Transcept must provide written notice to Purdue within twelve (12) months of the date on which subsections (A) and (B) above are met and such Co-Promotion Right shall be reinstated on the date determined in a manner consistent with the time periods set forth in Section 6.7(a) and (b).
(d) If the Co-Promotion Commencement Date occurs prior to the end of the [***] Sales Year, then during the [***] Year, at least [***] of the PDEs provided by Transcept to Psychiatrists shall be Primary Details, no more than [***] of the PDEs to Psychiatrists may be Secondary Details, and none of the PDEs to Psychiatrists may be Tertiary Details. Following the [***] Sales Year, up to [***] of the PDEs to Psychiatrists provided by Transcept may be Tertiary Details.
(e) Transcept, in its discretion and at its own expense, may provide a level of Promotional effort for the Product to Psychiatrists in excess of the PDE requirements set forth in Section 6.11(a).
(f) Transcept PDE Shortfall.
(i) If the actual number of PDEs provided by Transcept during any Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date (or during the first half of the [***] Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date) is less than [***] but equal to or greater than [***] of the Transcept Target PDEs for such Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date (or, for the Sales Year containing the Co-Promotion Commencement Date, the prorated number of Transcept Target PDEs for the remainder of the Sales Year) or half of the [***] Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date, as the case may be (with Transcept Target PDEs for such half of the [***] Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date calculated by [***] the Transcept PDE Targets set forth in Section 6.11(a) by [***]), then Transcept shall make up the difference between the actual number of PDEs and the Transcept Minimum PDEs
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. These portions have been omitted from this exhibit and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
41
(the “Transcept Shortfall”) in the [***] of the following Sales Year or of the second half of the [***] Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date, as the case may be (in addition to the Transcept Minimum PDEs for such [***], as determined by [***] the Transcept Minimum PDEs for the next Sales Year by [***]).
By way of example, if during the [***], Transcept provides [***] (i.e. [***] of the Transcept Target PDEs), then Transcept shall provide the Transcept Shortfall of [***] PDEs in the subsequent [***], in addition to the PDEs required for such subsequent [***].
(ii) If the actual number of PDEs provided by Transcept during any Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date (or during the first half of the second Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date) is less than [***] of the Transcept Target PDEs for such Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date (or, for the Sales Year containing the Co-Promotion Commencement Date, the prorated number of Transcept Target PDEs for the remainder of the Sales Year) or half of the second Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date, as the case may be (with Transcept Target PDEs for such half of the second Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date calculated by [***] the Transcept PDE Targets set forth in Section 6.11(a) by [***]), then Transcept shall make up [***] of the difference between the actual number of PDEs and the Transcept Minimum PDEs (the “Transcept [***] Shortfall”) in the [***] of the following Sales Year or of the second half of the second Sales Year following the Co-Promotion Commencement Date, as the case may be (in addition to the Transcept Minimum PDEs for such [***], as determined by [***] the Transcept Minimum PDEs for the next Sales Year by [***]).
By way of example, if during the third Sales Year, Transcept provides [***] (i.e. [***] of the Transcept Target PDEs), then Transcept shall provide the Transcept [***] Shortfall (i.e., [***] of the shortfall of [***], or [***]) in the subsequent [***], in addition to the PDEs required for such subsequent [***].
(iii) If Transcept fails to make up a Transcept Shortfall or Transcept [***] Shortfall by the end of the [***] as required by Section 6.11(f)(i) or (ii), respectively, Transcept shall pay Purdue for any remaining PDE shortfall at a rate equal to Transcept’s PDE Cost, which payment shall be due no later than thirty (30) days after the end of such [***].
(iv) If the actual number of PDEs provided by Transcept during any [***] month period during the Co-Promotion Term is less than [***] of the Transcept Minimum PDEs for such time period, Purdue shall have the right to terminate the Co-Promotion Right immediately upon written notice to Transcept; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Sales Year or portion thereof for which the JCC has determined that there are no Transcept Target PDEs. The effect of such termination is described in Section 6.21.
[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. These portions have been omitted from this exhibit and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
42
(v) If during any [***] month period during the Co-Promotion Term, (A) Transcept has met or exceeded [***] of the Transcept Minimum PDEs [***] then Transcept shall have no obligation to make up or pay for PDE shortfalls as provided above during such [***] month period.
(vi) The terms and conditions of this Section 6.11 set forth Purdue’s sole and exclusive remedies for Transcept’s failure to provide the Transcept Minimum PDEs in any Sales Year or half Sales Year and such failure shall not be treated as a material breach of this Agreement by Transcept under Section 12.3; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Purdue’s available remedies with respect to Transcept’s failure to make any payment due under Section 6.11(f)(iii).
6.12 Sales Force.
(a) Transcept Sales Force. Transcept shall at all times during the Co-Promotion Term maintain a Sales Force containing a reasonable number of sales representatives in order to satisfy the Transcept Minimum PDEs obligation.

In such event, Transcept promptly shall advise such Third Party that Transcept is not authorized to accept orders for the Product and shall immediately and accurately forward such order to Purdue, or its designee, which order Purdue may accept or reject in its sole discretion. Purdue shall be responsible for handling all returns of the Product with respect to the U.S. Territory.

6.17 Information Exchange; PV Agreement.
(a) In addition to each Party’s obligations under the PV Agreement, each Party shall provide the other Party with such information as the other Party may reasonably request during the Co-Promotion Term in order to support the requesting Party’s compliance with Applicable Laws and its Sales Force’s Promotion and Detailing of the Product in the U.S. Territory.

The Parties shall work together to identify any support hardware, software and services appropriate for the sharing of information with respect to Promotion of the Product. Wherever possible, the Parties agree that all technologies and platforms used for such purposes shall be in accordance with each Party’s technology architecture and security standards.

Each super royalty payment in this Section 7.3 shall be paid only once. The maximum total amount of payment to Transcept pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be [***]. Purdue shall notify and pay to Transcept the amounts set forth in this Section 7.3 within [***] after the delivery of the quarterly report pursuant to Section 7.7 for the calendar quarter in which the applicable event was achieved. For clarity, (i) in the event that more than one of the aggregate Net Sales thresholds is achieved in a calendar year, Purdue shall owe each of the corresponding payments and (ii) no payment will be made retroactively for Net Sales generated prior to an Orange Book Listing, but payments will be made during the next calendar year in which the applicable aggregate Net Sales target is achieved. Each such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by Transcept. Each such payment is nonrefundable and noncreditable against any other payments due hereunder.
(a) For Net Sales in the U.S. Territory generated prior to the date of an Orange Book Listing, Purdue shall pay to Transcept a royalty on such Net Sales equal to [***] in the U.S. Territory; or
(b) For Net Sales in the U.S. Territory generated on or after the date of an Orange Book Listing, Purdue shall pay to Transcept royalties on such Net Sales in the U.S. Territory at a royalty rate determined by aggregate Net Sales of all Products in a calendar year in the U.S. Territory as follows:

Aggregate Net Sales of Products in a calendar year in the U.S. Territory | Royalty Rate | |
Portion of Net Sales less than or equal to [***] | [***] | |
Portion of Net Sales greater than [***] and less than or equal to [***] | [***] | |
Portion of Net Sales greater than [***] | [***] |
The royalty rate tier applicable to Net Sales following an Orange Book Listing will be determined based on aggregate Net Sales across the entire calendar year regardless of the date on which the Orange Book Listing occurs. For purposes of illustration only, in the event the Orange Book Listing occurs on [***] and Net Sales in the U.S. Territory for [***] were [***], Purdue would pay Transcept a royalty of [***] on [***]. For Net Sales in the U.S. Territory accumulated beginning on [***], Purdue would pay Transcept a royalty of [***], provided that if Net Sales in the U.S. Territory later exceed [***] before the end of [***], Purdue would pay Transcept a royalty of [***] on the portion of such Net Sales exceeding [***].
(a) Royalty Increase. During the period of time commencing on the [***] of the first day of the first full calendar quarter following the approval of an NDA for the Product in the U.S. Territory and ending on the [***] of such date and subject to Section 1.47, the royalty rates specified in Section 7.4(b) shall each be increased by [***] percentage points (i.e., from [***] to [***], from [***] to [***] or from [***] to [***]), provided, however, that no such increase shall apply (i) if there is, or there was previously, on the market in the U.S. Territory [***] a Generic Product [***] or [***] during any period that a Generic Product [***] is approved in the U.S. Territory. For clarity, no increase shall apply under this Section 7.5(a) if there is no Orange Book Listing for the Product.

7.6 Co-Promotion Royalties.
(a) In addition to the royalties set forth in Section 7.4, if Transcept exercises the Psychiatrist Co-Promotion Option, Purdue shall pay to Transcept a royalty on [***] at a royalty rate determined by the Sales Year in which the Co-Promotion Commencement Date occurs, in each case as adjusted pursuant to Section 7.5(b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) and subject to Section 1.47:
Sales Year in which Co-Promotion Commencement Date Occurs | Royalty Rate on Psychiatric Net Sales | |||
[***] | [***] | |||
[***] | [***] | |||
[***] | [***] | |||
[***] | [***] |
provided that if the Co-Promotion Commencement Date occurs in any month other than the first month of a Sales Year, then the royalty rates set forth above shall be reduced by [***] per month.
(b) Royalties shall be payable under this Section 7.6 during the period commencing with the Co-Promotion Commencement Date and continuing until the first to occur: (i) termination of the Co-Promotion Right, (ii) the date of launch of a Generic Product [***]; provided that Purdue shall not be obligated to make payment under this Section 7.6 solely if both (A) Transcept has failed to fully achieve the Transcept Minimum PDEs under Section 6.11 and (B) Transcept has not fully cured such failure in accordance with the remedies specified in Section 6.11. Once the above royalty percentage has been set as set forth above, it remains fixed for the royalty duration (i.e., it will not step down each year), except as otherwise adjusted pursuant to Section 7.5(b), (c), (d), (e) or (f). For clarity, in the event of termination of the Psychiatrist Co-Promotion Option or the Co-Promotion Right, Purdue shall have no obligation to provide payment under this Section 7.6, provided, however, that in the case of subsection (ii) or (iii) above, Purdue shall reinstate the royalty payments under this Section 7.6 if the Co-Promotion Right is reinstated pursuant to Section 6.11(c).

Purdue shall provide Transcept with the royalty payment due for such calendar quarter pursuant to Sections 6.4(b), 7.4 and 7.6 and any super royalty payment due pursuant to Section 7.3; provided however that with respect to the royalty payments pursuant to Section 6.4(b) and 7.6, in the event the quarterly payments hereunder do not result in Transcept receiving the royalties [***] as calculated for the relevant twelve (12) month period under Section 6.4(b) or 7.6, then Purdue shall pay Transcept any remaining true-up amount due, if any, with the next following quarterly payment. All amounts payable to Transcept under this Agreement shall be paid in United States dollars.

Transcept shall provide Purdue with all documents (including all office actions, communications from the USPTO and drafts of any filings or responses thereto, and foreign filings and foreign search reports) relevant to such preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Transcept Patents in the U.S. Territory in sufficient time to allow for review and comment by Purdue. Transcept shall incorporate any and all comments by Purdue unless Transcept has a reasonable basis for rejecting Purdue’s comment, prior to taking any action before the USPTO; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent Transcept from making filings without consulting Purdue on an emergency basis in the opinion of patent counsel to secure and protect Transcept patents or if Purdue has not responded promptly to a prior request for consultation by Transcept.
If Transcept determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any Transcept Patent in the U.S. Territory, then Transcept shall provide Purdue written notice of such determination at least thirty (30) days before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment and shall provide Purdue with the opportunity to have all right, title and interest in such Transcept Patent in the U.S. Territory assigned to Purdue, at no cost to Purdue.
If Purdue desires Transcept to file in the U.S. Territory a Transcept Patent that claims priority to another Transcept Patent, Purdue shall provide written notice to Transcept requesting that Transcept file (at Purdue’s expense) such patent application in such jurisdiction. If Purdue provides such written notice to Transcept, Transcept shall either (i) file and prosecute such patent application and maintain any patent issuing thereon in such jurisdiction, or (ii) notify Purdue that Transcept does not desire to file such patent application and provide Purdue with the opportunity to, in Purdue’s sole discretion, control the filing and prosecution of such patent application and
54
maintain any patent issuing thereon on behalf of Transcept. Purdue’s rights under this Section 8.3(a) with respect to any Transcept Patent licensed to Transcept by a Third Party shall be subject to the rights of such Third Party to file, prosecute, and/or maintain such Transcept Patent; provided that Transcept shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the Third Party the right for Transcept to control the prosecution of any such licensed patent.
The Party that prosecutes a patent application in the Joint Patents (the “Prosecuting Party”) shall provide the other Party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding the applicable Joint Patents in the particular jurisdictions, and such other Party shall provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such efforts. The Prosecuting Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of all material communications from any patent authority in the applicable jurisdictions regarding the Joint Patent being prosecuted by such Party, and shall provide drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. In particular, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary or desirable to enable the other Party to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority.
Either Party may determine that it is no longer interested in supporting the continued prosecution or maintenance of a particular Joint Patent in a country or jurisdiction, in which case the disclaiming Party shall provide the other Party with written notice of such determination at least thirty (30) days before any deadline for taking action to avoid abandonment and shall provide the other Party with the opportunity to have the disclaiming Party’s interest in such Joint Patent in such country or jurisdiction assigned to the other Party, at no cost to the other Party.
Subject to the license granted to Purdue pursuant to Section 2.1(a), each Party shall have the right to practice, license and exploit the Joint Patents worldwide, without consent of the other Party (where consent is required by law, such consent is hereby deemed granted) and without a duty of accounting to the other Party.

Each Party shall immediately, but in no case more than five (5) Business Days, give written notice to the other Party of any certification of which it becomes aware filed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. Sections 355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) claiming any Transcept Patent covering Product is invalid or unenforceable, or that infringement will not arise from the manufacture, use or sale of a product by a Third Party.
(i) Subject to Section 8.4(d) and the remainder of this Section 8.4(b), during the Term, Purdue shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such Product Infringement of the Transcept Patents in the U.S. Territory. If Purdue has not brought suit to enforce such Transcept Patent against such person or entity within thirty (30) days after Purdue’s receipt or delivery (as applicable) of notice and information under Section 8.4(a), then Transcept shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable Transcept Patents with respect to such Product Infringement in the U.S. Territory. Each Party shall provide to the Party enforcing any such rights under this Section 8.4(b) reasonable assistance in such enforcement, including using best efforts if required to establish and maintain standing to join such action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action. The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts.
(ii) In the event a Party brings a claim, suit or action under Section 8.4(b)(i) against any person or entity engaged in Product Infringement of the Transcept Patents in the U.S. Territory, Purdue shall be responsible for [***] and Transcept shall be responsible for [***] of the costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by the Parties as a result of such claim, suit or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any such claim, suit or action initiated by Purdue, Transcept’s responsibility for costs and expenses shall not exceed [***] per calendar year or [***] in aggregate over the Term, except with Transcept’s written consent. If either Party expends less than its respective percentage share of such costs and expenses, such Party shall pay the other Party the amount required to satisfy its percentage share for the relevant time period in cash or by offset against other amounts due to such Party from the other Party under this Agreement on a calendar quarter basis; provided that if Purdue is the Party that brings such claim, suit, or action, then Purdue shall have the right to offset such costs and expenses against payments due to Transcept under Article 7 so long as such payments are not reduced by more than [***] with any unused offset carried forward. If a Party recovers monetary damages or any other payments from such

Third Party in such suit or action (including as a result of settlement), such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any unreimbursed costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in such litigation, and any remaining amount shall be distributed as follows: [***] to Purdue and [***] to Transcept.
(d) Transcept Patents Licensed from Third Parties. Purdue’s rights under this Section 8.4 with respect to any Transcept Patent licensed to Transcept by a Third Party shall be subject and subordinated to the rights of such Third Party to enforce such Transcept Patent and/or defend against any claims that such Transcept Patent is invalid or unenforceable, and the rights of such Third Party to share in any recoveries.
8.5 Patent Marking. Purdue shall, and shall require its Affiliates and sublicensees, to xxxx Products sold by it hereunder with appropriate patent numbers or indicia to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, in those countries in which such markings or such notices impact recoveries of damages or equitable remedies available with respect to infringements of patents.

Transcept shall, as soon as practicable after receiving notice of any potential infringement of the Transcept Assigned Trademarks, inform Purdue of any such potential infringement. Purdue shall have the sole right and discretion to bring infringement or unfair competition proceedings involving the Transcept Assigned Trademarks. Purdue agrees that, during the Term, it will not assign the Transcept Assigned Trademarks to any Third Party, except pursuant to Section 14.5.

Except as specifically permitted by this Section 8.7, neither Party shall distribute or have distributed any materials bearing the name or any trademarks of the other Party without the prior written approval of such other Party. To the extent that Transcept disagrees with Promotional messages or tactics proposed by Purdue, it may raise such issues with the JCC for discussion and resolution. Purdue and Transcept will be bound by the decision of the JCC with respect to any activities of Transcept that flow or result from the JCC decision.
58
(c) Upon the Co-Promotion Commencement Date, Purdue shall provide Transcept with the Promotional Materials then used by the Purdue Sales Force to Promote the Product, at no charge to Transcept, in quantities specified in the Marketing Plan and sufficient for Transcept to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement and the Marketing Plan. Transcept shall be responsible for distributing the Promotional Materials to the Transcept Sales Force. Except for Transcept Licensed Trademarks, Purdue shall own all right, title and interest in the Promotional Materials, including all intellectual property rights appurtenant thereto. Purdue hereby grants to Transcept a royalty-free license to use the Promotional Materials during the Term solely in connection with its Promotion of the Product in the U.S. Territory and in accordance with this Agreement and Applicable Laws, subject to Transcept’s payment of costs as provided in this Section. Transcept may sublicense such license only to its contract sales force under Section 6.12(a).
(d) Transcept may propose to the JCC that the Parties develop Promotional Materials specifically for use by the Parties in Detailing the Product to Psychiatrists (the “Psychiatrist Promotional Materials”), which materials Transcept shall create and develop in accordance with Applicable Laws, subject to prior review and approval by Purdue, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Purdue shall print and produce the Psychiatrist Promotional Materials. Transcept shall reimburse Purdue for all out-of-pocket costs incurred by Purdue to produce the Psychiatrist Promotional Materials; provided, however, that if Purdue orders any Psychiatrist Promotional Materials for use by the Purdue Sales Force, then Purdue shall be responsible for a proportionate share (based on the number of units ordered by Purdue) of the out-of-pocket costs incurred by both Parties to develop and print the Psychiatrist Promotional Materials. Except for any Purdue Trademarks and any portion of the Psychiatrist Promotional Materials that is the same as Promotional Materials produced by Purdue, Transcept shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Psychiatrist Promotional Materials, including all intellectual property rights appurtenant thereto.

For purposes hereof, a “Transcept Blackout Notice” shall mean a certificate signed by Transcept’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of Transcept’s board of directors it would be materially detrimental to Transcept and its stockholders to undertake Acquisition discussions with Purdue or its Affiliates, because such action would require premature disclosure of material information that Transcept has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or render Transcept unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the 1934 Act; provided, however, that (x) no Transcept Blackout Notice may have a duration longer than [***] and (y) Transcept may not invoke this right more than [***] in any [***] period.

Purdue Pharmaceutical Products L.P. and Transcept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Sign
Exclusive Agreement to Commercialize Intermezzo® in the United States
Transcept Retains Option to Co-Promote to Psychiatrists
Intermezzo® under FDA review for use as needed for the treatment of insomnia when a middle-of-the-night awakening is followed by difficulty returning to sleep
Stamford, CT, and Pt. Richmond, CA, August 2, 2009 – Purdue Pharmaceutical Products L.P. and Transcept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSPT) today announced entry into an exclusive license and collaboration agreement to commercialize Intermezzo® (zolpidem tartrate sublingual tablet) in the United States. If approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Intermezzo® has the potential to be the first prescription sleep aid specifically approved for use in the middle of the night at the time a patient awakens and has difficulty returning to sleep. The FDA has established October 30, 2009 as the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date for the Intermezzo® New Drug Application (NDA).
In the agreement announced today, Transcept has granted Purdue and a Purdue associated company an exclusive license to market, sell and distribute Intermezzo® in the United States and the right to negotiate for the commercialization of the product in Canada and Mexico. Transcept has retained an option to co-promote Intermezzo® to psychiatrists in the United States and has retained rights to commercialize Intermezzo® in the rest of the world.
Under the terms of the agreement, Purdue will pay Transcept near-term milestones that include an upfront cash payment of $25 million and an additional payment of up to $30 million based upon the timing of an FDA approval of Intermezzo®, which approval and payment are subject to review and acceptance by Purdue. Transcept is eligible to receive up to an additional $90 million upon reaching future milestones related to achievement of intellectual property and U.S. net sales targets.
Purdue will pay double-digit royalties to Transcept ranging up to the mid-twenty percent level on U.S. net sales of Intermezzo®. If Transcept elects to exercise its psychiatrist co-promotion option, Transcept will receive an additional double-digit royalty on the portion of U.S. net sales generated by psychiatrists. Under the agreement, Transcept can enter the market under the co-promotion option as early as the first anniversary of the commercial launch of Intermezzo® by Purdue.
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, President and Chief Executive Officer of Transcept, said, “This agreement is a transforming event for Transcept. Purdue has an established and growing primary care marketing and sales capability that we believe is ideally positioned to introduce Intermezzo® to physicians. Purdue has a demonstrated track-record in the key disciplines
1
needed to drive the awareness and acceptance of Intermezzo®, including successful experience marketing to national distributors, managed care organizations and primary care physicians. We believe that Intermezzo® has the potential to occupy an important position in the substantial worldwide market for prescription sleep aids, and that our U.S. partnership with Purdue is a key step toward the commercial success of Intermezzo®.”
Xx. Xxxxxxxx continued, “This agreement further increases our substantial cash reserves and aligns us with a powerful partner that will make a significant U.S. primary care sales and marketing investment. Our agreement with Purdue establishes the potential for a substantial Transcept revenue stream, and now enables us to focus increasing attention on prospective Intermezzo® commercialization partners in other parts of the world. The increased resources Transcept receives from this collaboration will also support our continued product pipeline expansion efforts. Finally, our option to co-promote Intermezzo® in the United States provides a foundation for achieving our long-term goal of becoming a fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company and creating even greater value for our shareholders.”
Purdue’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx commented, “We are excited to be working with Transcept towards the launch of this potential new entry into the prescription sleep aid market. This agreement is part of Purdue’s plan to diversify our product portfolio and broaden our commercial focus into therapeutic areas that complement our leadership position in pain management.” Xx. Xxxxxxx added, “We are confident that prescribers will find Intermezzo® to be a valuable therapeutic option for managing patients with middle-of-the-night sleep disorders that fall within the proposed indication for the product’s use.”
About Intermezzo®
Intermezzo® (zolpidem tartrate sublingual tablet) has the potential to be the first prescription sleep aid specifically approved for use in the middle of the night at the time a patient awakens and has difficulty returning to sleep. Intermezzo® is a sublingual low dose formulation of zolpidem, the active agent most commonly prescribed in the United States for the treatment of insomnia. Intermezzo® uses approximately one-quarter to one-third of the dose of active drug contained in currently marketed zolpidem-based sleep aids, in a formulation designed to promote rapid sublingual absorption. Transcept believes that Intermezzo®, by combining the reduced zolpidem dose with administration only on those nights when a middle of the night awakening actually occurs, has the potential to reduce unnecessary sedative-hypnotic exposure.
Two Phase 3 clinical studies evaluated 376 patients receiving either Intermezzo® or placebo. In the first study, a sleep laboratory trial using an objective polysomnographic endpoint, Intermezzo® demonstrated a statistically significant decrease versus placebo in the time it took patients to return to sleep as measured by Latency to Persistent Sleep. In the second study, an outpatient trial, Intermezzo® demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in Latency to Sleep Onset, a subjective patient reported endpoint. The most common adverse event seen in these trials was headache (2.7 percent active versus 1.4 percent placebo in the outpatient study).
The FDA has established October 30, 2009 as its target date under PDUFA to take action on its review of the NDA. Transcept is actively pursuing patents to protect Intermezzo® in the
2
United States and key non-U.S. markets, and, as part of the NDA submission, has requested that the FDA grant three years of Xxxxx-Xxxxxx marketing exclusivity to Intermezzo®.
