(b) | “Surplus Samples” means any Biological Samples that remain after completion of all protocol-required testing conducted as part of the Phase I/II Clinical Trial by or on behalf of Spark prior to the time that Spark transfers to Pfizer and Pfizer becomes the sponsor of the IND(s) for the Phase I/II Clinical Trial. |
(c) | “Applicable Requirements” means: (i) the terms of the Agreement, including, but not limited to, standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) and other documents referred to in the Agreement or otherwise used by Spark in the conduct of the Phase I/II Clinical Trial; (ii) the |
13
CONFIDENTIAL | EXECUTION VERSION November 6, 2017 |
protocol(s) for the Phase I/II Clinical Trial (the “Protocols”); (iii) the Investigator Brochure(s) for the Phase I/II Clinical Trial; (iv) the terms of the IRB/IEC approval(s) for the Phase I/II Clinical Trial; (v) all Applicable Laws; and (vi) all applicable GxP.
(d) | To the extent (x) permissible or not prohibited under the Applicable Requirements and (y) permissible under informed consent documents signed by the applicable Study Subject, Spark, at or before the end of the Collaboration Period (or such later date as Pfizer may specify) shall transfer all Surplus Samples to Pfizer or to Pfizer’s designee. If Spark is unable to transfer any of the Surplus Samples to Pfizer, Spark shall cooperate with Pfizer and shall take such actions as may be necessary to allow for the continued use and testing of the Surplus Samples by or under the direction of Pfizer in connection with the development of any Licensed Product, including: |
(i) | using reasonable efforts to amend the informed consent document signed by the applicable Study Subject to allow for the transfer to and use by Pfizer or Pfizer’s designee of such Surplus Samples; |
(ii) | using reasonable efforts to obtain waivers or authorizations from the applicable IRB/IEC to allow for the transfer to and use by Pfizer or Pfizer’s designee of such Surplus Samples; |
(iii) | using reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement (which agreement shall be subject to prior written approval of Pfizer) and/or facilitating Pfizer’s entry into an agreement with a Third Party to hold such Surplus Samples and make use thereof under the direction of Pfizer or Pfizer’s designee; and/or |
(iv) | other actions as the Parties may mutually agree will achieve the goal of allowing Pfizer or Pfizer’s designee to hold and use such Surplus Samples. |
Pfizer and, as applicable, Pfizer’s designee, shall comply with all Applicable Requirements regarding its handling and use of the Surplus Samples once received from Spark. Costs incurred by Spark in taking any of the foregoing actions shall be borne solely by Spark, provided, however, that to the extent any Surplus Samples are to be held by a Third Party after the end of the Collaboration Period in order to allow the continued use thereof the amounts payable to such Third Party for performing its obligations with respect to the Surplus Samples under such Agreement shall be borne by Pfizer.

3.11 Materials Transfer. The Parties agree that Spark’s transfer of any materials to Pfizer or its Affiliates or, if requested by Pfizer, directly to a Third Party designee, in each case, for use in the Development (whether directly by Pfizer or through one or more Affiliates or Third Party contractors) of the Companion Diagnostic Assay or any other assay to be used to assess the efficacy, potency or safety of any Licensed Product (such development, the “Assay Development” and such materials, excluding any materials addressed in Section 3.10.4, collectively, the “Spark Materials”) shall be subject to this Section 3.11. The Spark Materials constitute Confidential Information of Spark, and shall be used by Pfizer, its Affiliates or Third Party designees (i) only as set forth in Exhibit E hereto and (ii) solely for Assay Development. Any transfer by Spark directly to a Third Party designated by Pfizer shall be pursuant to an agreement between Pfizer (or one of its Affiliates) and such Third Party that contains terms governing the use and treatment of such Spark Materials which terms are no less restrictive than the material transfer terms set forth in Exhibit E hereto. Spark acknowledges that Pfizer will and has the right to transfer certain of the Spark Materials to [**] and/or one or more affiliates of [**] (collectively, “[**]”) in order for [**] to perform its Companion Diagnostic Assay Development obligations under a Companion Diagnostic Assay Development Initiation Agreement and potentially one or more related agreements to be entered into by and between Pfizer and [**] or one or more Affiliates of [**] (as such agreement(s) may be amended, supplemented or restated by such parties, the “[**] Agreement”). Pfizer agrees that it shall not transfer any Spark Materials to any other Third Party for Assay Development without a written agreement between Pfizer and such transferee containing material transfer terms consistent with this Section 3.11 and Exhibit E hereto (any such agreement, including the [**] Agreement, a “Transfer Agreement” and any such transferee of Spark Materials, a “Transferee”). For clarity, this Section 3.11 and the material transfer terms set forth in Exhibit E shall have no effect on Pfizer’s right to use materials provided by Spark or to transfer to a Third Party materials provided by Spark, in each case for the manufacture of Licensed Products.
3.12 Payments. In consideration for Spark performing its obligations under this Second Amendment, including, without limitation, the timely performance of Spark’s obligations under each of the Roles and Responsibilities Plan and the Amended and Restated Technology Transfer Plan, Pfizer hereby agrees to make the following payments to Spark:
3.12.1 | a one-time payment to Spark in the amount of ten million dollars ($10,000,000), which payment shall be made within [**] days after the Second Amendment Effective Date; |
3.12.2 | [**] dollars ($[**]) due as follows: |
(a) | a one-time payment to Spark in the amount of [**] dollars ($[**]) due upon the [**]. Such payment shall be made within [**] days after Spark submits an invoice therefor to Pfizer, provided that such invoice shall not be submitted to Pfizer prior to the end of the [**]; and |
15
CONFIDENTIAL | EXECUTION XXXXXXX Xxxxxxxx 0, 0000 |
(x) | a one-time payment to Spark in the amount of [**] dollars ($[**]) upon completion, [**], a “Milestone 2 Activity” and, [**]. Such payment shall be made within [**] days after Spark submits an invoice therefor to Pfizer, provided that such invoice shall not be submitted to Pfizer prior to the end of the [**]. In the event that Pfizer, in good faith, disputes that Spark has, prior to the end of the [**], completed, in all material respects, one or more Milestone 2 Activities, Pfizer shall so notify Spark and the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute, provided however, that (a) notwithstanding the existence of such dispute, Pfizer shall timely pay the portion of such invoice corresponding to any Milestone 2 Activity that Pfizer is not disputing has been completed in all material respects prior to the end of the [**], calculated at a rate of [**] dollars ($[**]) per Milestone 2 Activity and (b) the period for making payment with respect to any Milestone 2 Activity that is the subject of a good faith dispute by Pfizer shall be tolled pending the resolution of such dispute. Either Party may, at any point after Spark’s delivery of an invoice hereunder, escalate and submit a dispute under this Section 3.12.2(b) for resolution in accordance with Section 10.9 of the License Agreement, in which case the only consideration shall be whether Spark completed the disputed Milestone 2 Activity(s) in all material respects prior to the end of the [**]. If the resolution of such dispute is that Spark has completed one or more disputed Milestone 2 Activity(s) in all material respects prior to the end of the [**], then Pfizer shall pay the previously unpaid portion(s) of the invoiced amounts corresponding to the applicable disputed Milestone 2 Activity(s) on or before the later of (i) [**] days after Pfizer’s receipt of the applicable invoice submitted as described above in this Section 3.12.2(b) or (ii) [**] Business Days of such resolution (calculated as set forth above). If the resolution of such dispute is that Spark did not complete the disputed Milestone 2 Activity(s) in all material respects prior to the end of the [**], or if Spark concedes that it failed to complete a Milestone 2 Activity in all material respects prior to the end of the [**], then Spark shall forfeit the previously unpaid portion(s) of the invoiced amounts corresponding to such Milestone 2 Activity(s) (calculated as set forth above). |
3.12.3 | a one-time payment to Spark in the amount of [**] dollars ($[**]) due upon [**] as provided in the Roles and Responsibilities Plan, provided that such payment shall be made within [**] days after Spark submits an invoice therefor to Pfizer, which invoice shall not be submitted to Pfizer until [**]; and |
3.12.4 | a one-time payment to Spark in the amount of [**] dollars ($[**]) due upon [**], a “Milestone 4 Activity”, and, [**] on or before [**] (each, a “Target |
16
CONFIDENTIAL | EXECUTION VERSION November 6, 2017 |
Date”). Such payment shall be made within [**] days after Spark submits an invoice therefor to Pfizer, provided that such invoice shall not be submitted to Pfizer until Spark believes, in good faith, that it has completed the Milestone 4 Activities in all material respects and delivered to Pfizer each of the deliverables required to be delivered to Pfizer as part of the completion of each such activity. In the event that Pfizer, in good faith, disputes that Spark on or before the applicable Target Date(s), has completed, in all material respects, one or more Milestone 4 Activities, Pfizer shall so notify Spark and the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute, provided however, that (a) notwithstanding the existence of such dispute, Pfizer shall timely pay the portion of such invoice corresponding to any Milestone 4 Activity that Pfizer is not disputing that Spark has performed such Milestone 4 Activity in all material respects by the applicable Target Date, calculated at a rate of $[**] and (b) the period for making payment with respect to any Milestone 4 Activity that is subject to a good faith dispute by Pfizer shall be tolled pending the resolution of such dispute. Either Party may, at any point after Spark’s delivery of an invoice hereunder, escalate and submit a dispute under this Section 3.12.4 for resolution in accordance with Section 10.9 of the License Agreement, in which case the only consideration shall be whether Spark completed the disputed Milestone 4 Activity(s), in all material respects, prior to the applicable Target Date(s). If the resolution of such dispute is that Spark completed the disputed Milestone 4 Activity(s), in all material respects, prior to the applicable Target Date(s), then Pfizer shall pay the previously unpaid portion(s) of the invoiced amounts corresponding to such disputed Milestone 4 Activity(s) on or before the later of (i) [**] days after Pfizer’s receipt of the applicable invoice submitted as described above in this Section 3.12.4 or (ii) [**] Business Days after such resolution (calculated as set forth above). If the resolution of such dispute is that Spark did not complete the disputed Milestone 4 Activity(s), in all material respects, prior to the applicable Target Date(s), or if Spark concedes that it failed to complete a Milestone 4 Activity, in all material respects, prior to the applicable Target Date, then Spark shall forfeit the previously unpaid portion(s) of the invoiced amounts corresponding to such Milestone 4 Activity(s) (calculated as set forth above).
In the event Spark fails to complete, in all material respects, any activity required of it under either the Roles and Responsibilities Plan or the Amended and Restated Technology Transfer Plan, as applicable, on or before the target completion date specified in the Roles and Responsibilities Plan or the Amended and Restated Technology Transfer Plan, as applicable, with respect to such activity, Spark shall remain obligated to complete such activity, in all material respects, regardless of whether any particular payment described above in this Section 3.12 becomes due and payable.
