If, in addition to the FDA CVOT Study and the FDA Pediatric Studies, the FDA requires clinical trials or other development work on the Initial Product to maintain such Regulatory Approval (such as a required Phase 4 clinical trial or outcome study), or if the Parties agree to conduct other additional clinical trials or other development work on the Initial Product with respect to such Regulatory Approval (for clarity, not including clinical trials or development work on Additional Products), such clinical trials or other development work shall be conducted as provided in Section 3.2(a) and (b), respectively.
(b) Initial Product in the Additional Territory. Eisai shall have the right and, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, responsibility for (1) conducting, or causing its Affiliate or Sub-distributor (in the applicable country) to conduct, all regulatory activities, and (2) conducting, or causing its Affiliate or Developing Sub-distributor (in the applicable country) to conduct all clinical activities, in each case ((1) and (2)) with respect to each Regulatory Authority in the Additional Territory for the Initial Product in accordance with this Agreement. If (i) any such Regulatory Authority in a country in the Additional Territory requires additional clinical trials or other development work on the Initial Product to obtain or maintain a Regulatory Approval in such country (such as a required clinical trial or outcome study), or (ii) if the Parties agree to conduct other additional clinical trials or other development

work on the Initial Product after such Regulatory Approval in such country (for clarity, not including clinical trials or other development work on Additional Products), such clinical trials or other development work shall be conducted as provided in Section 3.2(c) and (d), respectively, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2(i).
(c) Initial Product in the New Territory. Sections 3.2(e), (f) and (g) establish the terms for the Parties’ development of the Initial Product in countries throughout the New Territory.
(d) Additional Products in the Territory. Section 3.3 establishes the terms for the Parties’ development of Additional Products throughout the Territory. The Parties have agreed, in Section 3.3(a), to bear equally (up to the limit of the Additional Product Fund) the Development Expenses of conducting the clinical trials and other development work with respect to Additional Product(s) in the Territory, through obtaining Regulatory Approval. Such development work may include development work on the Primary Additional Development Areas, and potentially on other development areas (including additional Indications or other Additional Products). The Parties agree that the Additional Product Fund will be used solely in connection with Development Plans for Additional Products that are either mutually approved by the Parties or approved by Arena using its final decision-making authority as provided in this Agreement.
3.2. Further Development of the Initial Product.
(a) Required Further Development of Initial Product in the United States.
(i) The JDC is using reasonable efforts to agree on the Development Plans (consistent with Section 3.4) and Regulatory Strategy for conducting the FDA CVOT Study and the FDA Pediatric Studies, and the Parties acknowledge that such development work shall be conducted according to the terms of this Section 3.2(a) and Section 3.5. If the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) are unable to agree on such Development Plans or Regulatory Strategy (or any amendments thereto) by [...***...], then thereafter Eisai shall have final decision-making authority, subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f), with respect to such Development Plans and Regulatory Strategy (and any amendments thereto) for conducting the FDA CVOT Study and the FDA Pediatric Studies.
(ii) If the FDA requires Post-Approval Required U.S. Development in addition to the FDA CVOT Study and the FDA Pediatric Studies, Eisai (or one of its Affiliates) shall notify Arena of such additional Post-Approval Required U.S. Development, and the Parties shall, through the JDC, promptly meet to discuss in good faith and seek to agree on the Development Plan (consistent with Section 3.4) and Regulatory Strategy for such additional Post-Approval Required U.S. Development; provided, that, unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing: (i) the Parties shall conduct, or cause their Affiliates to conduct, such Post-Approval Required U.S. Development in accordance with the applicable Development Plan pursuant to Section 3.5 and; (ii) if the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to
31 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |
Confidential
Section 4.1(f)) are unable to agree on such Development Plan or Regulatory Strategy (or any amendments thereto) , neither Party shall have final decision-making authority with respect to such Development Plan or Regulatory Strategy (or any amendments thereto) until [...***...], after which time Eisai shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to such Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy for conducting such Post-Approval Required U.S. Development (and any amendments thereto).
(iii) Eisai shall bear 90% and Arena shall bear 10% of the Development Expenses with respect to all Post-Approval Required U.S. Development, except that (A) the Parties shall share equally the Development Expenses with respect to pediatric or adolescent studies required by the FDA under Section 505A of the FFDCA (21 U.S.C. § 355a), and (B) with respect to a Development Plan for the FDA CVOT Study that includes development activities for one or both of the Product areas in subsections (d) and (e) of Section 1.163 (definition of Primary Additional Development Area), the Parties shall share equally the Development Expenses for such development activities (i.e.¸that relate specifically to diabetes or MACE+ and not also to other aspects of the FDA CVOT Study); provided, that Arena’s share of such Development Expenses shall not in any event exceed US$40,000,000 and Eisai shall bear 100% of the Development Expenses for such development activities in excess of an aggregate of US$80,000,000 in such expenses.
(iv) The Additional Product Fund shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Development Expenses in the Development Plan for the FDA CVOT Study budgeted for development activities specific to the Product areas in subsections (d) (diabetes) and (e) (MACE+) of Section 1.163 (definition of Primary Additional Development Area), up to a maximum reduction of US$80,000,000; provided, that if, upon completion of the FDA CVOT Study, the aggregate amount of Development Costs actually incurred in performing development activities specific to the Product areas in subsections (d) (diabetes) and (e) (MACE+) of Section 1.163 is less than US$80,000,000, then an amount equal to the difference between (A) US$80,000,000 and (B) the aggregate amount of such Development Costs actually incurred shall be added back to the Additional Product Fund.
(b) Non-Required Development of Initial Product in the United States.
(i) If either Party desires to conduct additional clinical trials or other development work on the Initial Product to enhance or expand the Initial Product NDA (or any other Regulatory Approval for the Initial Product in the United States) beyond the scope of the Initial Product NDA (but not for a new Indication), or for the purpose of enhancing scientific knowledge and understanding of the clinical utility of the Initial Product, or for any other appropriate purposes that are not Post-Approval Required U.S. Development (“Non-Required U.S. Development”), the Party desiring to conduct such Non-Required U.S. Development shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties shall, through the JDC, promptly meet to discuss in good faith and seek to agree on the terms under which the Parties would conduct such Non-Required U.S. Development, including (A) the Parties’ responsibilities for conducting such Non-Required U.S. Development, (B) the sharing of Development Expenses with respect to such Non-Required U.S. Development, (C) the Development Plan for such Non-Required U.S. Development consistent with Section 3.4, and (D) the Regulatory Strategy for such Non-
32 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |
Confidential
Required U.S. Development. For clarity, development of the Initial Formulation for Indications other than the Indications that, as of the 2nd Amendment Effective Date, are the subject of the Initial Product NDA shall not be considered Non-Required U.S. Development and shall instead be considered development of an Additional Product under Section 3.3.
(ii) If the Parties fail to agree on the matters in subclause (i) above, including the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) not agreeing on a Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy covering any Non-Required U.S. Development within a reasonable time period (not to exceed 90 days after notice from the applicable Party), then (x) Arena shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct such Non-Required U.S. Development, and (y) Eisai shall have the right to, but not the obligation, to conduct such Non-Required U.S. Development solely to the extent it is Non-Required Eisai Development, in each case at such Party’s own expense and in its sole discretion, and subject in each case to compliance with the terms of Section 3.7.
(c) Required Development of Initial Product in the Additional Territory. If (i) the Regulatory Authorities in a particular country in the Additional Territory require that additional clinical trials or other development work be conducted on the Initial Product as a condition of and prior to granting Regulatory Approval for the Initial Product in such country (such required clinical trials or other development work, “Pre-Approval Required Additional Territory Development” in the applicable country), or (ii) the Regulatory Authorities in a particular country in the Additional Territory require additional clinical trials or other development work on the Initial Product after granting Regulatory Approval of the Initial Product in such country to obtain or maintain such Regulatory Approval in such country in the Additional Territory (such required post-approval clinical trials or other development work, “Post-Approval Required Additional Territory Development”, and, collectively with the Pre-Approval Required Additional Territory Development, the “Required Additional Territory Development”), Eisai shall notify Arena of such Required Additional Territory Development, and the Parties shall, through the JDC, promptly meet to discuss in good faith and seek to agree on the Development Plan (consistent with Section 3.4) and the Regulatory Strategy for such Required Additional Territory Development; provided, that if the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) are unable to agree on such Development Plan or Regulatory Strategy (or any amendments thereto) within a reasonable time period (not to exceed 90 days after notice from the applicable Party), neither Party shall have final decision-making authority with respect to such Development Plan or Regulatory Strategy (or any amendments thereto) until [...***...], after which time Eisai shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to such Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy for such Required Additional Territory Development (and any amendments thereto). The Development Expenses with respect to any such Required Additional Territory Development shall be allocated between the Parties as follows: Eisai shall bear 90% and Arena shall bear 10% of the Development Expenses with respect to any Required Additional Territory Development (including any required Phase 4 clinical trial or outcomes studies) conducted by either Party. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, Eisai shall have the responsibility to conduct, or to cause its Affiliate or Developing Sub-distributor in the applicable country to conduct, such Required Additional Territory Development in accordance
33 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |
Confidential
with the Development Plans for such development work pursuant to Section 3.5, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2(i) below.
(d) Non-Required Development of Initial Product in the Additional Territory.
(i) If either Party desires to conduct additional clinical trials or other development work on the Initial Product to enhance or expand the Regulatory Approval for the Initial Product in a country in the Additional Territory beyond the scope of the initial Regulatory Approval for the Initial Product in such country (but not for a new Indication), or for the purpose of enhancing scientific knowledge and understanding of the clinical utility of the Initial Product in such country, or for any other appropriate purposes that are not Required Additional Territory Development (“Non-Required Additional Territory Development”), the Party desiring to conduct such Non-Required Additional Territory Development shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties, through the JDC, shall promptly meet to discuss in good faith and seek to agree on the terms under which the Parties would conduct such Non-Required Additional Territory Development, including (A) the Parties’ responsibilities for conducting such Non-Required Additional Territory Development, (B) the sharing of Development Expenses with respect to such Non-Required Additional Territory Development, (C) a Development Plan for such Non-Required Additional Territory Development in such country in the Additional Territory consistent with Section 3.4, and (D) the Regulatory Strategy for such Non-Required Additional Territory Development. For clarity, development of the Initial Formulation for Indications other than the Indications that, as of the 2nd Amendment Effective Date, are the subject of the Initial Product NDA shall not be considered Non-Required Additional Territory Development and shall instead be considered development of an Additional Product under Section 3.3.
(ii) If the Parties fail to agree on the matters in subclause (i) above, including the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) not agreeing on a Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy covering any Non-Required Additional Territory Development within a reasonable time period (not to exceed 90 days after notice from the applicable Party), then (x) Arena shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct such Non-Required Additional Territory Development, and (y) Eisai shall have the right to, but not the obligation, to conduct such Non-Required Additional Territory Development solely to the extent it is Non-Required Eisai Development, in each case at such Party’s own expense and in its sole discretion, and subject in each case to compliance with the terms of Section 3.7.
(e) Required Pre-Approval Development of Initial Product in the New Territory.
(i) Pre-Approval Development Plan. Promptly after the 2nd Amendment Effective Date, the Parties shall, through the JDC, meet and discuss in good faith development activities and Regulatory Strategy for the Initial Product for the New Territory countries, and shall work toward preparing and shall seek to agree on a mutually agreeable Development Plan (which plan shall be consistent with Section 3.4) and Regulatory Strategy
34
Confidential
(including the timing and relative priorities) for the Initial Product for conducting Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development for the countries in the New Territory where it is commercially reasonable to do so. It is agreed that starting [...***...], Eisai shall have final decision-making authority with respect to the Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy for such Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development (and any amendments thereto) if the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) do not agree on such Development Plan or Regulatory Strategy (or any amendments thereto) within a reasonable time period (not to exceed 90 days after notice from the applicable Party). In any event, prior to [...***...], Eisai shall notify Arena whether or not it intends to conduct development (including seeking Regulatory Approval) of the Initial Product with respect to each country in the New Territory. Eisai may determine not to conduct any such development work and not to seek Regulatory Approval with respect to any specific country in the New Territory only if Eisai has determined, in good faith based on reasonable assumptions relating to Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development and Post-Approval Required New Territory Development with respect to such country in the New Territory, that it is not commercially reasonable to conduct development of Initial Product with respect to such country in the New Territory. If Eisai gives notice that it intends to conduct development of the Initial Product in the New Territory, but the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) have not already approved a Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy for such development prior to [...***...], then by no later than [...***...], Eisai, through its final decision-making authority, shall determine and present to Arena the Development Plan for Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development, including a budget that is reasonably allocated among development activities that are generally applicable to multiple countries in the New Territory and development activities that are specific to individual countries in the New Territory, based on reasonable assumptions relating to future development under such Development Plan, and the Regulatory Strategy related to such development. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any country in New Territory requires “in country” manufacturing or packaging of the Initial Product in order to obtain or maintain Regulatory Approval, then the Parties shall discuss the situation, through the JSC, and seek to determine if it is commercially reasonable, taking into account all factors relevant to each Party, for either Party to establish such “in country” manufacturing or packaging, and on what terms. In such discussions, Arena shall consider in good faith any reasonable proposal by Eisai regarding establishing such an “in country” manufacturing or packaging facility, but Arena, acting reasonably and in good faith, shall not have an obligation to accept such proposal. If the Parties cannot agree (and Arena shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such agreement), then neither Party shall Commercialize the Additional Product in such country.
(ii) Pre-Approval Development Expenses. Each Party will bear 50% of the Development Expenses incurred with respect to conducting the Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development under the applicable Development Plan (as established under subclause (i) above), up to a combined total for both Parties of US$100 million. If in conducting Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development, the Parties have expended Development Expenses up to the combined total amount of US$100 million, then any additional Development Expenses incurred in conducting such Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development shall be paid for 100% by Eisai (and for clarity, Arena shall not be obligated to
35 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |
Confidential
pay more than its cap of US$50 million in Development Expenses for any Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development).
(iii) Allocation of Excess Development Fund Amounts. If either (a) as of [...***...] Eisai has determined in accordance with subclause (i) above that it is not commercially reasonable to pursue the development of Initial Product anywhere in the New Territory or (b) as of [...***...] Eisai has not otherwise presented Arena its Development Plan for development contemplated by subclause (i) above (or the JDC (or thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) have not otherwise agreed on a Development Plan for Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development), then the entire amount of the New Territory Pre-Approval Development Fund (US$100,000,000) shall be allocated and transferred to, and thereby increase the total amount of, the Additional Product Fund (and the New Territory Pre-Approval Development Fund shall be reduced to zero (US$0)). If as of [...***...], the JDC (or the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) has agreed, or Eisai has established through exercise of its final decision-making authority (as contemplated in subclause (i) above), a Development Plan for Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development, and such Development Plan has an aggregate budget for Development Expenses that is less than the entire initial amount of the New Territory Pre-Approval Development Fund (US$100,000,000), then on [...***...], the amount by which such aggregate budget amount in the Development Plan is less than US$100,000,000 shall then be allocated and transferred to, and thereby increase the total amount of, the Additional Product Fund, and such transfer shall decrease the total amount of the New Territory Pre-Approval Development Fund by the same amount. Further, no later than [...***...], if the Parties are conducting Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development, Eisai shall review in good faith the budget in the Development Plan for such development work to determine if such budget should be reduced because the full amount of the budget will not be used under the contemplated activities. If, and only if, Eisai determines that the budget in the Development Plan for Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development should be so reduced, then Eisai shall amend such Development Plan to reduce such budget and on [...***...] the difference between the then-current total amount of the New Territory Pre-Approval Development Fund, less the aggregate amount of such budget, as reduced, shall be allocated and transferred to, and thereby increase the total amount of, the Additional Product Fund, and such transfer shall decrease the total amount of the New Territory Pre-Approval Development Fund by the same amount. In addition, Eisai agrees that if aggregate Development Expenses under the Development Plan for Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development incurred by the Parties by [...***...] is less than the then-current total amount of the New Territory Pre-Approval Development Fund, then the difference between such then-current total amount of the New Territory Pre-Approval Development Fund, less the aggregate amount of such Development Expenses incurred as of [...***...], shall be transferred to, and thereby increase the amount of, the Additional Product Fund as of [...***...]. For clarity, no transfer of amounts from the New Territory Pre-Approval Development Fund to the Additional Product Fund shall limit Arena’s or Eisai’s respective obligation to bear Development Costs for Pre-Approval Required New Territory Development conducted under the applicable Development Plan, up to a total of US$50 million of funding by each Party, in accordance with clause (ii) above.

(f) Required Post-Approval Development of Initial Product in the New Territory.
(i) Post-Approval Development Plan. If, with respect to any New Territory country where Regulatory Approval of Initial Product has been obtained, the Regulatory Authority for such country requires that any Post-Approval Required New Territory Development be conducted, Eisai shall notify Arena of such Required Additional Territory Development, and the Parties shall, through the JDC, promptly meet to discuss in good faith and seek to agree on the Development Plan (consistent with Section 3.4) and the Regulatory Strategy for such Post-Approval Required New Territory Development. It is agreed that Eisai shall have final decision-making authority with respect to the Development Plan and the Regulatory Strategy for such Post-Approval Required New Territory Development (and any amendments thereto), if the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) are unable to agree on such Development Plan or Regulatory Strategy (or any amendments thereto).
(ii) Post-Approval Development Expenses. The Development Expenses incurred with respect to conducting any Post-Approval Required New Territory Development under the Development Plan established therefor shall be borne by the Parties equally, with each Party bearing 50% of such Development Expenses incurred under the Development Plan, up to a total amount of US$25,000,000 in expenses borne by each Party (US$50,000,000 total). After such total amount has been borne by the Parties, any additional Development Expenses that may be incurred to conduct the Post-Approval Required New Territory Development shall be shared by the Parties with Eisai paying 90% and Arena paying 10% of any such additional Development Expenses to fund the conduct of Post-Approval Required New Territory Development. For clarity, to the extent any such Development Expenses are for Post-Approval Required U.S. Development, Arena’s payment responsibility will remain at 10% of such Development Expenses, regardless of where development occurs or is conducted geographically or the intent of the Parties to use the data for seeking Regulatory Approval (or other purposes) in the New Territory (except with respect to Development Expenses with respect to pediatric or adolescent studies required by the FDA under Section 505A of the FFDCA (21 U.S.C. § 355a) as provided in Section 3.2(a)(iii)(A), and Development Expenses incurred in conducting the FDA CVOT Study as provided in Section 3.2(a)(iii)(B), up to the maximum of $80,000,000 as provided in such Section, which shall be shared equally by the Parties).
(g) Non-Required Development of Initial Product in the New Territory.
(i) If either Party desires to conduct additional clinical trials or other development work on the Initial Product to enhance or expand the Regulatory Approval for the Initial Product in a country in the New Territory beyond the scope of the initial Regulatory Approval for the Initial Product in such country (but not for a new Indication), or for the purpose of enhancing scientific knowledge and understanding of the clinical utility of the Initial Product in such country, or for any other appropriate purposes in the New Territory, which development activities are not Required New Territory Development (the “Non-Required New Territory Development”), the Party desiring to conduct such Non-Required New Territory
37
Confidential
Development shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties, through the JDC, shall promptly meet to discuss in good faith and seek to agree on the terms under which the Parties would conduct such Non-Required New Territory Development, including (A) the Parties’ responsibilities for conducting such Non-Required New Territory Development, (B) the sharing of Development Expenses with respect to such Non-Required New Territory Development, (C) the Development Plan for such Non-Required New Territory Development consistent with Section 3.4, and (D) the Regulatory Strategy for such Non-Required New Territory Development. For clarity, development of the Initial Formulation in the New Territory for Indications other than the Indications that, as of the 2nd Amendment Effective Date, are the subject of the Initial Product NDA shall not be considered Non-Required New Territory Development and shall instead be considered development of an Additional Product under Section 3.3.
(ii) If the Parties fail to agree on the matters in subclause (i) above, including the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) not agreeing on a Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy covering any Non-Required New Territory Development within a reasonable time period (not to exceed 90 days after notice from the applicable Party), then (x) Arena shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct such Non-Required New Territory Development, and (y) Eisai shall have the right to, but not the obligation, to conduct such Non-Required New Territory Development solely to the extent it is Non-Required Eisai Development, in each case at such Party’s own expense and in its sole discretion, and subject in each case to compliance with the terms of Section 3.7.
(h) For Use Outside the Territory.
(i) If Arena (or any of its Affiliates, Arena ex-Territory Distributors or other Third Party on behalf of Arena) intends to conduct any clinical trials or other development work on the Initial Product for use in obtaining, maintaining, or expanding the registration, labeling or regulatory approval for the Initial Product in any country or jurisdiction outside the Territory, or for the purpose of enhancing scientific knowledge and understanding of the clinical utility of the Initial Product, or for any other appropriate purposes (“Ex-Territory Development”), Arena shall provide written notice, including a reasonable summary of such proposed clinical trials or other development work, of such Ex-Territory Development to Eisai.
(ii) If requested by Eisai, the Parties, through the JDC, shall promptly meet to discuss in good faith and seek to agree on the terms under which Eisai would participate in such Ex-Territory Development, including (A) the Parties’ responsibilities for conducting such Ex-Territory Development, (B) the sharing of Development Expenses with respect to such Ex-Territory Development, and (C) a Development Plan for such Ex-Territory Development consistent with Section 3.4.
(i) Exceptions for Required Development in Additional Territory. If, as to a particular country in the Additional Territory, Eisai reasonably determines that the costs of conducting the Required Additional Territory Development for such country under the established Development Plan(s) for such development are not commercially justified by the reasonably expected commercial market opportunity for the Initial Product in such country, then
38
Confidential
Eisai may give written notice of such determination to Arena, which notice will include all the economic and related factors that are the basis for such determination. The Parties then will meet promptly and discuss in good faith such situation and seek reasonably to reach agreement on how to proceed. If the Parties do not reach an agreement on how to proceed with Initial Product development in such country, within 60 days of such notice, then Eisai has the right to terminate this Agreement as to such country, on written notice to Arena provided within 60 days after the end of such 60-day period. If Eisai provides notice that the costs of any Required Additional Territory Development for a country under the established Development Plan(s) for such development are not commercially justified, Eisai’s obligations to conduct Required Additional Territory Development in the country that is subject to such notice shall be tolled for a period of 120 days from the date of such notice, and such obligations shall be in force after such period (unless Eisai terminates the Agreement as to such country pursuant to the above).
3.3. Development of Additional Products in the Territory.
(a) In General. Arena and Eisai will jointly collaborate on and bear the cost of the development of Additional Products (e.g., new Indications, new formulations, Combination Products, etc.) throughout the Territory in accordance with this Section 3.3. The Parties agree to share equally (50%/50%) all Development Expenses incurred in conducting all development work under the applicable Development Plans for development of Additional Products through Regulatory Approval, up to the then-current total amount of the Additional Product Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) subject to Arena’s obligations under Section 3.3(g), Arena is not obligated to initiate development of an Additional Product or approve a Development Plan for an Additional Product under this Agreement, and (ii) in no event shall either Party be obligated to bear aggregate Development Expenses with respect to all Additional Products under all Development Plans for development of Additional Products through Regulatory Approval in excess of 50% of the then-current total amount of the Additional Product Fund, or to pay any development costs for any development outside of the Development Plan approved under this Section 3.3. The Development Plans for Additional Products may include development in one or more of the Primary Additional Development Areas, and, for clarity, may also include other areas and Additional Products, as provided below.
(b)Development of Additional Products in Primary Additional Development Areas of Diabetes and MACE+. The Parties agree that clinical development in the Product areas in subsections (d) and (e) of Section 1.163 (diabetes and MACE+) are currently contemplated by the Parties to be conducted as part of the FDA CVOT Study. The Parties also agree that if, in addition to any development activities under the Development Plan for the FDA CVOT Study, either Party wishes to develop an Additional Product in either or both of the Product areas of subsections (d) and (e) of Section 1.163, then the Parties, through the JDC, shall promptly meet to discuss in good faith and seek to agree on the Development Plan(s) and Regulatory Strategy covering such development. If the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) are unable to agree on such Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy for such additional development activities, by [...***...], then (A) each Party may proceed independently with development of an Additional Product in either or both of the Product areas of subsections (d) and (e) of Section 1.163 in its sole discretion using

its own funding (but, for clarity, any resulting product shall be an Additional Product for all purposes of this Agreement), and (B) Eisai shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to the Regulatory Strategy for any such development, including development conducted by Arena (and any amendments thereto). Any such independent development work by a Party shall be considered Non-Development Plan Development. All results of any such independent development work by a Party shall be disclosed to the other Party and shall be subject to all terms of this Agreement, including under Sections 3.5 and 3.7. Neither Party can proceed on development activities for Additional Products for the Product areas of (d) and (e) of Section 1.163 prior to [...***...], unless the Parties otherwise agree as to such activities.
(c) Development of Additional Products in Primary Additional Development Areas of QD, Smoking Cessation and FDC. Promptly after the 2nd Amendment Effective Date, the Parties shall, through the JDC, meet and discuss in good faith development activities and regulatory approval strategy for Additional Products for the Product areas of subsections (a), (b) and (c) of Section 1.163 (Once-Daily, smoking cessation and FDC), and shall work toward preparing and shall seek to agree on mutually agreeable Development Plans (which plans shall be consistent with Section 3.4) and a Regulatory Strategy (including the timing and relative priorities) to develop Additional Products for the Product areas of subsections (a), (b) and (c) of Section 1.163, utilizing the jointly funded Additional Product Fund pursuant to such Development Plans. If the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) are unable to agree on such Development Plans and Regulatory Strategy (or any amendments thereto) for the Product areas of subsections (a) (Once-Daily) and (c) (FDC) of Section 1.163, neither Party shall have final decision-making authority with respect to such Development Plans or Regulatory Strategy until [...***...], after which time (A) Arena shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to (1) each such Development Plan throughout the Territory (and any amendments thereto) and (2) Regulatory Strategy (and any amendments thereto) in the United States through the end of Phase III clinical trials under each such Development Plan, and (B) Eisai shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to Regulatory Strategy (and any amendments thereto) in each country in the Territory other than the United States and in the United States after the end of such Phase III clinical trials. Neither Party can proceed on development activities for Additional Products for the Product areas of subsections (a) and (c) of Section 1.163 prior to [...***...], unless the Parties otherwise agree as to such activities. With respect to development activities for Additional Products for the Product areas of subsection (b) (smoking cessation) of Section 1.163, commencing on the 2nd Amendment Effective Date (A) Arena shall have the final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to (1) the Development Plans throughout the Territory (and any amendments thereto) for such Product area, and (2) Regulatory Strategy (and any amendments thereto) in the United States through the end of Phase III clinical trials under each such Development Plan, and (B) Eisai shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to Regulatory Strategy (and any amendments thereto) in each country in the Territory other than the United States and in the United States after the end of Phase III clinical trials.

(d) Development of Additional Products Outside Primary Additional Development Areas. If a Party (or its Affiliates, Developing Sub-distributors in the applicable country (in the case of Eisai) or Arena ex-Territory Distributors (in the case of Arena)) wishes to develop an Additional Product for an Indication or Product area outside of the Primary Additional Development Areas, then the Parties, through the JDC, shall meet and discuss in good faith and seek to agree on a mutually agreeable Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy for such Additional Product, over a period of up to four months after presentation of a substantially mature proposed Development Plan for a particular Indication or Product area (which four-month period, for clarity, may begin prior to [...***...]). No work under any such Development Plan shall commence prior to [...***...] (except as the Parties may otherwise agree). If, as to such a proposed Additional Product, at the end of the four month discussion period, the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) are unable to agree on the Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy for such Additional Product, (i) Arena shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to (A) such Development Plan (and any amendments thereto) throughout the Territory and (B) Regulatory Strategy (and any amendments thereto) in the United States through the end of Phase III clinical trials under such Development Plan, and (ii) Eisai shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to Regulatory Strategy (and any amendments thereto) in each country in the Territory other than the United States and in the United States after the end of such Phase III clinical trials.
(e) Use of Additional Product Fund to Fund Additional Development. It is further agreed that any amounts of the Additional Product Fund (other than the [...***...] Transferred Funds) that are not then allocated, pursuant to the budgets in Development Plans established in accordance with this Section 3.3, to development of Additional Products (including for the Primary Additional Development Areas), or any previously allocated amounts of the Additional Product Fund (other than the [...***...] Transferred Funds) that become available from existing Additional Product development programs for use for new Additional Product development programs in accordance with Section 3.5(b)(ii), may be allocated (out of the Additional Product Fund) to pay for Development Expenses for Additional Products under Development Plans established in accordance with this Section 3.3 prior to or on [...***...]. For clarity, Eisai and Arena each will be obligated to bear (pursuant to Section 3.6) its 50% share of the Development Expenses (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (a) above) incurred within the budgets under any Development Plan established under this Section 3.3 on or before [...***...], even if the Development Expenses are incurred after such date. Further, to the extent that any New Territory Pre-Approval Development Funds are transferred into the Additional Product Fund after [...***...] (the “[...***...] Transferred Funds”) as described in Section 3.2(e)(iii) above, such [...***...] Transferred Funds shall be allocable towards development of Additional Products under Development Plans established under this Section 3.3 through [...***...]. If Arena wishes to approve a Development Plan using its final decision-making authority for a proposed Additional Product and either (i) there are no remaining amounts in the Additional Product Fund (that is, because all the amounts in the Additional Product Fund have either (x) been spent by the Parties in supporting their respective shares of the Development Expenses incurred under Development Plans for Additional Products, or (y) been allocated (at such time) under the budget of one or more
41 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |
Confidential
ongoing Development Plans for Additional Products), or (ii) it is after [...***...] and no [...***...] Transferred Funds remain unallocated, or (iii) it is after [...***...], then Arena (including its Affiliates or Arena ex-Territory Distributors) shall have the right, but not the obligation, independently and at its own expense, to conduct such development work under a Development Plan (which shall be consistent with Section 3.4) established (and as may be amended) by Arena using its final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f), and any product resulting from such development work shall be an Additional Product for all purposes of this Agreement. The Parties agree that, in the event that Arena is independently conducting such development work under such a Development Plan, (x) Arena shall be permitted to open new INDs for such development work, (y) Arena shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to the Regulatory Strategy (and any amendments thereto) for such development work throughout the Territory through the end of Phase III clinical trials, and (z) Eisai shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to Regulatory Strategy (and any amendments thereto) throughout the Territory after the end of such Phase III clinical trials.
(f) Conduct of Development Plans for Additional Products. For any Development Plan for an Additional Product established (or amended) by Arena through the use of its final decision-making authority, Arena shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct the clinical trials and other development work set forth in such Development Plan; provided, that Arena may amend such Development Plan (including to terminate all development under such plan) to the extent consistent with its obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts. If Eisai believes that Arena is breaching such obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform such a Development Plan, then on written request by a Party such issue will be resolved by arbitration under Section 12.7. If such arbitration determines that Arena is not using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct such Development Plan, then Eisai, in addition to any other remedies to which it may be entitled, will be entitled to specific performance of such obligation (but subject to the cap on Arena’s spending obligation as provided in Section 3.3(a)). In no event will Eisai have a right to perform any such development on Additional Product on its own, except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, or as provided in Section 3.3(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any country in the Territory that would require “in country” manufacturing of the Additional Product in order to obtain or maintain Regulatory Approval in a particular country, the Parties shall discuss the situation, through the JSC, and seek to determine if it is commercially reasonable, taking into account all factors relevant to each Party, for either Party to establish such “in country” manufacturing in such country, and on the terms for such establishment. If the Parties cannot agree (and Arena shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such agreement), then neither Party shall Commercialize the Additional Product in such country.
(g) Post-Approval Required Development. If, as to an Additional Product that has achieved Regulatory Approval, the applicable Regulatory Authority requires additional clinical trials or other development work on the Additional Product in the applicable country of approval to obtain or maintain such Regulatory Approval in such country (“Required Post-Approval Additional Product Development”), then such Required Post-Approval Additional Product Development shall be conducted under a Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy

Confidential
established as provided in the following: the Parties, through the JDC, shall meet and discuss in good faith and seek to agree on a mutually agreeable Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy for such Required Post-Approval Additional Product Development on the Additional Product, over a period of up to four months. If, as to such additional development work on the Additional Product, at the end of the four month discussion period, the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) are unable to agree on the Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy for such work, then (i) Arena shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to such Development Plan (and any amendments thereto) throughout the Territory, and (ii) Eisai shall have final decision-making authority subject to and in accordance with Section 4.1(f) with respect to Regulatory Strategy (and any amendments thereto) in each country in the Territory. The Parties shall share the Development Expenses incurred for Required Post-Approval Additional Product Development as follows: Each Party shall bear 50% of such Development Expenses up to a total amount of US$50,000,000 each (US$100,000,000 total); after the Parties have each borne Development Expenses of US$50,000,000 (whether for one Additional Product or in the aggregate for two or more Additional Products), any additional Development Expenses that may be incurred to conduct Required Post-Approval Additional Product Development shall be shared by the Parties with Eisai paying 90% and Arena paying 10%. For example, if the Development Expenses for Required Post-Approval Additional Product Development for the first and second Additional Products are $75,000,000 and $50,000,000, respectively, Eisai shall pay $72,500,000 and Arena shall pay $52,500,000.
(h) Product Purchase Price for Additional Products. For clarity, all Additional Product(s) will be supplied by Arena having the Product Purchase Price, for a given country, as set forth in Section 7.4; provided, that for any Additional Product that is a Combination Product or that involves a formulation other than the Initial Formulation, then prior to the Parties initiating development on such Product or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Parties shall discuss in good faith and agree on an appropriate, commercially reasonable increase or decrease to the minimum Product Purchase Price, under Section 7.4(e), to reflect any additional or reduced costs of manufacture applicable to such other ingredients or formulation.
(i) Non-Required Development of Additional Products in the Territory.
(i) If either Party desires to conduct additional clinical trials or other development work on an Additional Product to enhance or expand the Regulatory Approval for such Additional Product in any country in the Territory beyond the scope of the initial Regulatory Approval for such Additional Product in such country (but not for a new Indication), or for the purpose of enhancing scientific knowledge and understanding of the clinical utility of such Additional Product in such country, or for any other appropriate purposes in such country, which development activities are not required by a Regulatory Authority to obtain or maintain Regulatory Approval in such country (the “Non-Required Additional Product Development”), the Party desiring to conduct such Non-Required Additional Product Development shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties, through the JDC, shall promptly meet to discuss in good faith and seek to agree on the terms under which the Parties would conduct such Non-Required Additional Product Development, including (A) the Parties’ responsibilities for conducting such Non-Required Additional Product Development, (B) the sharing of
43
Confidential
Development Expenses with respect to such Non-Required Additional Product Development, (C) the Development Plan for such Non-Required Additional Product Development consistent with Section 3.4, and (D) the Regulatory Strategy for such Non-Required Additional Product Development.
(ii) If the Parties fail to agree on the matters in subclause (i) above, including the JDC (and thereafter the JSC and the Senior Executives pursuant to Section 4.1(f)) not agreeing on a Development Plan and Regulatory Strategy covering any Non-Required Additional Product Development within a reasonable time period (not to exceed 90 days after notice from the applicable Party), then (x) Arena shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct such Non-Required Additional Product Development, and (y) Eisai shall have the right to, but not the obligation, to conduct such Non-Required Additional Product Development solely to the extent it is Non-Required Eisai Development, in each case at such Party’s own expense and in its sole discretion, and subject in each case to compliance with the terms of Section 3.7.
3.4. Development Plans.
(a) Any clinical studies or other development work to be conducted by the Parties under this Agreement on the Initial Product or an Additional Product shall be conducted pursuant to an agreed, or established by a Party under its final decision-making authority as provided in Section 3.2 or 3.3, as applicable, Development Plan that is consistent with the terms of this Section 3.4. Each such Development Plan shall: (i) describe in appropriate detail the clinical trials or other development work to be conducted (including the protocol, the statistical analysis plan and related documents for any clinical trials); (ii) allocate to each Party the specific clinical trials or other development work to be conducted by such Party; provided, that if a Party establishes a Development Plan on its own under its final decision-making authority, it may not allocate any clinical trials or other development work to be conducted or supervised by the other Party without such other Party’s consent; (iii) identify whether clinical trials and other development work will be conducted by the Responsible Party’s FTEs or by a contract research organization or other Third Party (and, if applicable, which Party shall have the responsibility for managing and supervising such contract research organization or other Third Party), subject to Section 3.6(a); (iv) establish a timeline and budget for such clinical trials or other development work; and (v) address any other material matter relating to such clinical trials or other development work.
(b) The Parties shall in all cases seek in good faith to establish Development Plans that provide for maximum efficiency in the worldwide development of the applicable Products, with the goal of obtaining quickly and efficiently the clinical data (for each Product) that is useful, both in the Territory and in countries and jurisdictions outside the Territory, in seeking registrations and regulatory approvals of such Product; provided, that Eisai shall have no obligation with respect to the costs and expenses for clinical trials and development work for a Product to the extent related solely to countries and jurisdictions outside the Territory, unless agreed to by Eisai.
44
Confidential
(c) The JDC also shall review and consider the existing Development Plans, in light of the clinical trials and other development work conducted, and discuss and seek to agree on any needed or appropriate changes or modifications to the Development Plans on an ongoing basis, and in no event less frequently than once each Calendar Quarter. All material changes to the Development Plans shall be subject to approval by the JDC or, if the JDC cannot agree, in accordance with Section 4.1(f).
3.5. Conduct of Development and Regulatory Activities.
(a) Compliance with Development Plan and Applicable Laws. Each Party shall conduct the clinical trials and other development work for which it is the Responsible Party under each Development Plan in compliance with all Applicable Laws and in accordance with GLP and GCP and other Applicable Laws of the country in which such activities are conducted. The Responsible Party with respect to a clinical trial conducted under a Development Plan shall (or, if the Responsible Party is not the sponsor of such clinical trial, the Responsible Party shall cause the sponsor of such clinical trial to) register such clinical trial on and report the results of such clinical trial to the appropriate registry or database (e.g., xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx) in accordance with Applicable Laws. With respect to the conduct of Regulatory Strategy for which a Party has the final decision-making authority as provided in this Article 3, such Party shall use good faith, Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that such conduct and execution of the Regulatory Strategy complies with and supports the goals of the related Development Plan, and any dispute as to whether the Party is complying with the foregoing obligations shall be subject to resolution by arbitration under Section 12.7.
(b) Diligence.
(i) Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct and complete the clinical trials and other development work for which it is the Responsible Party under each Development Plan in order to achieve the goals of such Development Plan in accordance with the timelines specified therein. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall proceed diligently and in a timely manner with respect to the clinical trials and other development work for which it is the Responsible Party under each Development Plan by using its good faith efforts to allocate sufficient time, effort, equipment and facilities to such clinical trials and other development work and to use personnel with sufficient skills and experience as are required to accomplish such clinical trials and other development work in accordance with such Development Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(ii) A Party may cease conducting a clinical trial or other development work for which it is the Responsible Party under a Development Plan if such cessation would not constitute a breach of such Party’s diligence obligations under the first sentence of Section 3.5(b)(i). Once a Development Plan for an Additional Product initially has been established in accordance with Section 3.3, if a Party ceases conducting a clinical trial or other development work under such Development Plan or amends such Development Plan through its final decision-making authority to reduce the budget included in such Development Plan (and provided that such cessation or reduction would not constitute a breach of such Party’s diligence obligations under the first sentence of Section 3.5(b)(i)), then any portion of
45
Confidential
the Additional Product Fund allocated to such Development Plan that will not be utilized as a result of such cessation or reduction shall be available under the Additional Product Fund to be allocated to the development of a different Additional Product under a Development Plan established as provided in Section 3.3.
(iii) Eisai shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain Regulatory Approval of (A) the Initial Product in each country in the New Territory except for those countries for which Eisai has determined that it is not commercially reasonable to conduct development of the Initial Product with respect to such country in the New Territory in accordance with Section 3.2(e)(i), and (B) each Additional Product in each country in the Territory; provided, that in no event shall Eisai be required to bear Development Costs with respect to Additional Products in excess of the amounts set forth in Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(g).
(c) Information Regarding Development Activities. Each Party shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, records of the clinical trials and other development work for which it is the Responsible Party, in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for patent and regulatory purposes, which shall fully and properly reflect all work done and results achieved by or on behalf of such Party in the performance of such clinical trials and other development work under the Development Plans. Each Party shall retain such records for at least five years after the Term, or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Laws. Each Party, through the JDC, shall keep the other Party appropriately informed of the status and results of the clinical trials and other development work with respect to each Product for which it is the Responsible Party under any Development Plan. Upon reasonable request by a Party, without limiting the foregoing, the other Party shall provide the requesting Party, according to a reasonable time frame, with summaries of data and results and other Program Know-How resulting from such clinical trials or other development work and, if requested by the requesting Party, shall provide access to all supporting data and results and other Program Know-How generated or obtained in the course of such other Party’s performance of the clinical trials or other development work for which such other Party is the Responsible Party under any Development Plan. Upon reasonable prior written notice, each Party shall have the right to inspect and copy any such records and notebooks reflecting the work done and results achieved under a Development Plan by or on behalf of the other Party or its Affiliates in the performance of such other Party’s clinical trials and other development work with respect to Compounds, Related Compounds or Products. For clarity, Eisai shall provide to Arena, and Arena shall have access to and be able to use (and transfer to its Affiliates and Arena ex-Territory Partners) all data and results of all Eisai development activities, for use in developing, registering and obtaining regulatory approvals of and commercializing Products outside the Territory.
(d) Limited License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Arena hereby grants to Eisai and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license (with the right to grant sublicenses to Sub-distributors) in the Territory under the applicable Arena Know-How and Program Know-How solely as necessary to conduct the clinical trials and other development work under the Development Plans for which Eisai is the Responsible Party to develop each Product for use in the Territory pursuant to this Agreement, and to perform the regulatory activities for the Products in the Territory for which Eisai is the Responsible Party.

(e) Conduct of New Territory Development. It is agreed that, prior to [...***...], neither Party can proceed on regulatory interactions or development activities with respect to the Initial Product in any countries in the New Territory unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, except that Arena will have the right to conduct regulatory interactions with Regulatory Authorities in Switzerland until November 30, 2013.
(f) Additional Development Considerations.
(i) Arena has the right, during a “review period” for each filing of up to three months beginning when a final or substantially mature draft filing is provided to Arena by Eisai, to review and comment on each final or substantially mature draft IND or NDA filing prior to submission by Eisai in a country in the Territory where Eisai has the right to make such filing. After such review period (or earlier if agreed by Arena), Eisai may move forward with the intended filing after good faith consideration of any reasonable Arena comments.
(ii) Eisai has the right, during a “review period” for each filling of up to three months beginning when a final or substantially mature draft filing is provided to Eisai by Arena, to review and comment on each final or substantially mature draft IND filing prior to submission by Arena in a country in the Territory where Arena has the right to make such filing. After such review period (or earlier if agreed by Eisai), Arena may move forward with the intended filing after good faith consideration of any reasonable Eisai comments.
(iii) Eisai, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any CPP issuable by FDA, EMA or Swissmedic (or other Regulatory Authority) necessary to obtain regulatory approval of the Initial Product in a country in the Additional Territory or New Territory.
(iv) The Parties agree to coordinate a joint meeting, and to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek to hold such meeting, with the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use in Europe within [...***...] of the 2nd Amendment Effective Date. Eisai agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek to hold a meeting with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan within [...***...] after such meeting with the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use in Europe.
(v) The Parties shall discuss in good faith at the JDC, after consideration of the Development Plans for Additional Products, which Party (or its Affiliate or Sub-distributor) should be the Responsible Party to hold an IND and to execute the Regulatory Strategy in a particular country in the Territory relating to the applicable Development Plan for the Initial Product or any Additional Product. Unless otherwise agreed by the JDC (or the JSC or the Senior Executives in accordance with Section 4.1(f)), (A) the Party (or its Affiliate or Sub-distributor) that has final decision-making authority with respect to the Regulatory Strategy for an Additional Product for a country in the Territory through the end of Phase III clinical trials shall hold the INDs for such Additional Product in such country and shall execute the Regulatory Strategy through the end of Phase III clinical trials, and (B) the Party (or its Affiliate or Sub-distributor) that has final decision-making authority with respect to the Regulatory

Confidential
Strategy for an Additional Product for a country in the Territory after the end of Phase III clinical trials shall execute the Regulatory Strategy after the end of Phase III clinical trials.
(vi) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Eisai (or its Affiliate or Sub-distributor in the applicable country) shall be the Responsible Party to execute the Regulatory Strategy for the Initial Product in all countries in the Territory. The Parties shall cooperate and work towards an orderly transfer of any relevant Regulatory Filings held by Arena or its Affiliate in the Territory for the Initial Product (including INDs) to Eisai or its Affiliate (or Sub-distributor) in a country in the Territory, in order to effect any such transfers prior to the earlier of (i) 30 days after the approval of the Development Plan for development of Initial Product and of the Regulatory Strategy for the Initial Product relating to such country in the Territory, or (ii) [...***...].
(vii) Eisai will be the Responsible Party for and shall have the final decision on all NDA and other filings for Regulatory Approval (including whether an NDA shall be filed) for all Products (including Additional Products) in all countries in the Territory, subject to Arena’s review and comment rights under Section 3.5(f)(i). Eisai (or its Affiliate or Sub-distributor) shall hold all NDAs and all Regulatory Approvals for all Products (including Additional Products) in all countries in the Territory.
(viii) Eisai shall be responsible for obtaining pricing and reimbursement approvals, as applicable, for all Products in all countries in the Territory at its expense.
(ix) Any development rights or obligations of Eisai hereunder with respect to a country in the Territory may be exercised or performed by the Developing Sub-distributor for such country; provided, that Arena provides prior written consent to that Developing Sub-distributor exercising such right or performing such obligation as provided in Section 5.10(c).
(x) Any regulatory rights or obligations of Eisai hereunder with respect to a country in the Territory may be exercised or performed by the Sub-distributor for such country.
3.6. Development Expenses.
(a) Sharing of Expenses. With respect to all clinical trials and other development work conducted by the Parties under a Development Plan, each Party shall be responsible for its agreed (including as provided above in this Article 3) share of all Development Expenses incurred by the Parties under such Development Plan. Notwithstanding a Party’s final decision-making authority with respect to any Development Plan, if one Party does not approve the use, in conducting development work under such Development Plan, of FTEs of the other Party (such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), then use by such other Party of its FTEs shall be at such other Party’s own expense, with the costs of such FTEs not included in Development Expenses.
48 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |
Confidential
(b) Payment. Within 15 days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, each Party shall provide a written report (each, a “Quarterly Report”) to the other Party setting forth in reasonable detail the Development Expenses (together with the evidence supporting such Development Expenses) incurred by such Party during such Calendar Quarter in conducting the clinical trials and other development work for which it is the Responsible Party under each Development Plan, and such report shall specify the Development Plan under which such expenses were incurred (and, if applicable, the development fund (i.e., the Additional Product Fund or New Territory Pre-Approval Development Fund) to which they related). Within 10 days after each Party has provided the other Party its Quarterly Report for a Calendar Quarter, the Parties shall confer and agree on a written report based upon the Quarterly Reports for such Calendar Quarter (each, a “Payment Report”) setting forth the amount payable by Eisai to Arena or the amount payable by Arena to Eisai, so that each of the Parties has borne its agreed (including as provided above in this Article 3) share of all the Development Expenses incurred by the Parties in such Calendar Quarter. The applicable Party shall pay the amount shown to be due to the other Party as set forth in the Payment Report within 20 days after the Parties agree on such Payment Report.
(c) Funding Commitments; Cost Discussion. Each Party agrees to pay its share, as allocated under the applicable provision of this Article 3, of the Development Expenses actually incurred under a Development Plan approved or established hereunder, but subject to the caps on such funding as provided in this Article 3. If, in conducting the development work allocated to a Party under a particular Development Plan, a Party incurs (or expects to incur) Development Expenses for such work that are at least 20% higher than the budgeted costs and expenses set forth in the Development Plan, then such Party shall give notice to the JDC of such cost overrun, and the reasons therefor. The JDC shall promptly discuss the situation, and seek to reach agreement on any actions to be taken to reduce or otherwise manage such cost overrun. Absent a decision by the JDC otherwise, such Party shall continue to conduct its development work obligations, using good faith efforts to minimize any further cost overruns in such work, but subject to any applicable overall cap on Development Expenses for such category of Development Plan.
(d) Records. Each Party shall keep, and cause its Affiliates to keep, complete, true and accurate books of accounts and records of Development Expenses incurred by such Party for the purpose of confirming the proper allocation of Development Expenses pursuant to Section 3.6(a). Such books and records shall be kept for such period of time required by Applicable Laws, but no less than at least five years following the end of the Calendar Quarter to which they pertain. Such records shall be subject to audit in accordance with Section 3.6(e).
(e) Audit. Each Party shall have the right to cause an independent, certified public accounting firm of international recognition reasonably acceptable to the other Party to audit the other Party’s records relating to Development Expenses to confirm the amount of the Development Expenses reflected in the Quarterly Reports and the related Payment Reports. Such audit right may be exercised during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to the audited Party; provided, that such audit right may be exercised no more than once in any 12 month period, no more than once with regard to any given Calendar Quarter and no later
49
Confidential
than five years after the end of the Calendar Quarter to be audited, and shall be conducted so as to not unreasonably interfere with the audited Party’s business. The audited Party shall not be obligated to provide the public accounting firm any records until the public accounting firm executes a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the audited Party. The public accounting firm shall disclose to the auditing Party only whether any reports made or amounts paid under this Agreement are correct and details concerning any discrepancies. The public accounting firm shall send a copy of the report to the audited Party at the same time it is sent to the auditing Party. If such audit concludes that additional payments were owed or that excess payments were made during the audited period, then Arena or Eisai, as applicable, shall pay the other Party an appropriate adjustment payment to achieve the applicable allocation of the Development Expenses set forth in the Development Plans within 30 days after the date on which such audit is completed and the public accounting firm notifies each Party of the conclusions thereof. The auditing Party shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an over-reporting by the audited Party of more than 5% of the amount of Development Expenses for a given Calendar Quarter for the clinical trials and other development work for which the audited Party is the Responsible Party, in which case, the audited Party shall bear the reasonable and documented cost of such audit.
(f) For clarity, (i) no Development Expenses incurred by either Party prior to the 2nd Amendment Effective Date shall be credited towards either of the Parties’ respective obligations to bear Development Expenses for development of Initial Product in the New Territory or Development Expenses for development of Additional Products, and (ii) neither Party shall be obligated to deposit, set aside, segregate or otherwise reserve any funds to satisfy its obligation to pay its share of any Development Expenses hereunder (including its share of the Additional Product Fund or New Territory Pre-Approval Development Fund) prior to the time that payment thereof is required pursuant to Section 3.6(b).
3.7. Non-Development Plan Development. With respect to any clinical trials or other development work with respect to a Compound Product or Related Product that is conducted by or on behalf of a Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Arena ex-Territory Distributor (in the case of Arena) or Developing Sub-distributor in the applicable country (in the case of Eisai)) anywhere in the world outside the scope of a Development Plan to the extent permitted hereunder (which clinical trials or other development work, with respect to Eisai, its Affiliates and Developing Sub-Distributors, is limited to Non-Required Eisai Development and development Eisai may conduct independently pursuant to Section 3.3(b)) (“Non-Development Plan Development”):
(a) Prior to the commencement of any Non-Development Plan Development (and, in the case of an Arena ex-Territory Distributor, to the extent Arena has the right to do so under any applicable agreement with such Arena ex-Territory Distributor), the developing Party shall provide the JDC a high-level development plan with respect to such Non-Development Plan Development, and the JDC shall promptly hold an ad-hoc meeting to review and discuss such plan. The developing Party shall in good faith seek to address any reasonable issues that the other Party’s members on the JDC may raise with respect to possible issues that such Non-Development Plan Development could reasonably be expected to cause to the other Party’s development or Commercialization of the Products in the Territory (or outside the Territory in
50

the case of Arena). Following such JDC meeting, the developing Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Arena ex-Territory Distributor (in the case of Arena) or Developing Sub-distributor in the applicable country (in the case of Eisai)) shall have and retain the right to conduct (or have conducted, on its behalf) the applicable Non-Development Plan Development in or outside the Territory as permitted in accordance with the terms hereof. For clarity, (i) any Third Party performing Non-Development Plan Development shall be considered a subcontractor, subject to requirements for subcontractors set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) all Know-How and Patents resulting from Eisai Non-Development Plan Development shall be deemed to have been discovered, identified, conceived, reduced to practice, or otherwise made as a result of development activities under this Agreement, and therefore shall be Program Know-How and Program Patents.
(b) Arena shall notify Eisai of any Know-How Controlled by Arena or any of its Affiliates, including any Know-How made by an Arena ex-Territory Distributor and Controlled by Arena or any of its Affiliates, resulting from any Non-Development Plan Development and if, at any time during the Term, Eisai desires to use any such Know-How in the Territory, Eisai shall notify Arena, and the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith and seek to agree on reasonable payments to Arena for the use of such Know-How by Eisai. If the Parties reach such agreement, such Know-How shall constitute Arena Know-How. If Eisai does not so notify Arena, or if the Parties do not reach agreement, then such Know-How shall constitute Arena Independent Know-How and, subject to clause (c) below, Eisai shall not have the right to use any Arena Independent Know-How.
(c) Notwithstanding clause (b) above, Arena hereby grants Eisai and its Affiliates and Sub-distributors in the applicable country a royalty-free (i) right to use any Arena Independent Know-How with respect to the Initial Product and right to reference any regulatory filings Controlled by Arena or any of its Affiliates that are made by Arena, its Affiliates, or any Arena ex-Territory Distributors with respect to the Initial Product outside the Territory and to use any and all data contained therein, in each case, solely to maintain the Initial Product NDA, to obtain and maintain Regulatory Approvals for the Initial Product in the Additional Territory and the New Territory, or as otherwise required by Regulatory Authorities in the Territory; provided, that, except as provided otherwise pursuant to Section 3.7(b) or with the consent of Arena, Eisai shall not have the right to use any Arena Independent Know-How or reference any such regulatory filings to obtain any Regulatory Approval for the Initial Product for any Indication(s) that are not, as of the Amendment Effective Date, the subject of the Initial Product NDA and (ii) right to use any Arena Independent Know-How with respect to any Additional Product and right to reference any regulatory filings Controlled by Arena or any of its Affiliates that are made by Arena, its Affiliates, or any Arena ex-Territory Distributors with respect to the Additional Product outside the Territory, in each case, solely to obtain and maintain any Regulatory Approval in the Territory for such Additional Product that resulted from clinical trials or other development work conducted under a Development Plan or as otherwise required by Regulatory Authorities in the Territory; provided, that, except as provided otherwise pursuant to Section 3.7(b) or with the consent of Arena, Eisai shall not have the right to use any Arena Independent Know-How or reference any such regulatory filings to obtain or maintain any Regulatory Approval for any Additional Product for any Indications that are not the subject of any NDA or any amendment or supplement to any NDA that resulted from the clinical trials or other

The foregoing diligence time frame, as to a particular
67
Confidential
country in the Additional Territory, shall be extended by the applicable of the following: (1) if Arena has materially failed to perform its obligations (but excluding any such failure to the extent the failure is caused by a failure by Eisai or its Affiliate to supply API or an intermediate to Arena as may be required under this Agreement or another agreement between the Parties) under Section 3.12, Section 6.14, Section 6.16 or under any Development Plan with respect to the Initial Product and such failure has materially delayed Eisai’s ability to progress its development or regulatory activities as to such country, then the amount of such delay, to the extent caused by such material failure of Arena, shall be added to such diligence time frame for such country; and (2) if Arena has failed to deliver (on a timely basis) amounts of clinical material of Initial Product necessary for conducting clinical trials required for Regulatory Approval in the country, and such failure has delayed the conduct of such trials, then the extent of such delay shall be added to such diligence time frame for such country.
If Arena terminates this Agreement with respect to a particular country in the Additional Territory as provided above in this Section 5.6(b), then such country shall be deemed excluded from the Additional Territory, and Eisai shall not have any further rights in such country. The above diligence termination rights as to specific countries in the Additional Territory are in addition to Eisai’s other diligence obligations in the Agreement.
(c) If at any time Eisai reasonably believes that Eisai will not be able to obtain Regulatory Approval of the Initial Product in one or more countries in the Additional Territory through the exercise of Commercially Reasonable Efforts, then Eisai may terminate this Agreement with respect to such country(ies) immediately on written notice to Arena.
(d) In addition, if in any Year (as defined below) Eisai does not achieve the aggregate minimum Net Sales in the Additional Territory specified below for such Year (as such minimum may be reduced pursuant to Section 5.6(e)), Eisai shall pay Arena (for such Year) an amount equal to (i) the applicable percentage rate set forth in Section 7.4(a)(ii) to determine Product Purchase Price for the Additional Territory for that Year, multiplied by (ii) the difference between the required minimum Net Sales in the Additional Territory for that Year set forth below (as reduced pursuant to Section 5.6(e)), less the actual aggregate Net Sales in the Additional Territory accrued for that Year:
Minimum Additional Territory Net Sales:
Year 1: US$[...***...] in Net Sales in the Additional Territory

Year 3: US$[...***...] in Net Sales in the Additional Territory
Year 4: US$[...***...] in Net Sales in the Additional Territory

(e) The minimum Net Sales in the Additional Territory set forth in Section 5.6(d) shall be reduced as follows:
(i) If this Agreement terminates with respect to a country in the Priority Additional Territory for any reason other than termination by Arena pursuant to Section 12.2(b), then from and after the date of such termination the minimum Net Sales in the Additional Territory for each Year set forth in Section 5.6(d) shall be reduced by [...***...]% of the amount specified in Section 5.6(d) for such Year for each country in the Priority Additional Territory so terminated. For clarity, the reductions under this Section 5.6(e)(i) apply separately with respect to each country in the Priority Additional Territory (e.g., if this Agreement is terminated with respect to both Brazil and Canada on the first day of Year 2, then minimum Net Sales in the Additional Territory for Year 2 and each subsequent Year shall be reduced by a total of [...***...]% of the amount specified in Section 5.6(d) for such Year).
(ii) If during any Year there are sales by a Third Party of a Generic Version of a Product in a country in the Priority Additional Territory, and the aggregate units of all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in the Priority Additional Territory in such Year exceed [...***...]% of the aggregate units of such Product and all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in such Year, then minimum Net Sales in the Additional Territory for such Year set forth in Section 5.6(d) shall be reduced as follows: (x) by [...***...]% of the amount specified in Section 5.6(d) for such Year, if such aggregate units of all Generic Versions exceeds [...***...]% of the aggregate units of such Product and all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in such Year; or (y) by [...***...]% of the amount specified in Section 5.6(d) for such Year, if such aggregate units of all Generic Versions sold in such country exceeds [...***...]% of the aggregate units of such Product and all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in such Year. For clarity, the reductions under this Section 5.6(e)(ii) apply separately with respect to each country in the Priority Additional Territory (e.g., if in Year 2 the aggregate units of all Generic Versions of the Initial Product sold in each of Brazil and Canada in Year 2 exceed [...***...]% of the aggregate units of the Initial Product and all Generic Versions of the Initial Product sold in each such country in Year 2, then minimum Net Sales in the Additional Territory for Year 2 shall be reduced by a total of US$[...***...] (i.e., [...***...]% of US$[...***...] with respect to Brazil and [...***...]% of US$[...***...] with respect to Canada)).
(iii) If Swissmedic has not issued a Swiss CPP for Eisai’s use in seeking Regulatory Approval in Mexico by the date that is 24 months prior to the first day of any Year, then the minimum Net Sales in the Additional Territory for such Year shall be reduced by [...***...]% of the amount specified in Section 5.6(d) for such Year; provided, that in any event such reduction terminates upon Regulatory Approval in Mexico.
(iv) [Reserved].
(v) If, in any Year, Arena has failed (but excluding any such failure to the extent the failure is caused by a failure by Eisai or its Affiliate to supply API or an intermediate to Arena as may be required under this Agreement or another agreement between the Parties) to provide to Eisai an amount of the Initial Product ordered by Eisai in accordance with this Agreement by the date 10 days after the confirmed delivery date therefor and as a
69 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |
Confidential
result of such delivery failure Eisai stocks out of Initial Product and is unable to satisfy third party orders for the Initial Product in the Additional Territory during such Year due to such stock out, then the minimum Net Sales in the Additional Territory for such Year shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Net Sales that would have been attained if such third party orders had been satisfied.
For clarity, the reductions in subclauses (i) – (iv) above are mutually exclusive; that is, only one such reduction in such subclauses (even if more than one such subclause might apply to a country), as to a particular country in the Priority Additional Countries, can be applied with respect to any specific Year.
5.7. Limited Licenses.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Arena hereby grants to Eisai and its Affiliates an exclusive, royalty-free, limited license (with the right to grant sublicenses to Sub-distributors and Co-Promotion Partners, in the applicable country or countries) under the Arena Know-How and Program Know-How and the Product Trademarks solely to Commercialize each Product in the Territory and to perform medical education activities with respect to each Product in the Territory.

Except as otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties in writing, THE EISAI KNOW-HOW WILL BE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE USE OF THE EISAI KNOW-HOW WILL NOT INFRINGE OR VIOLATE ANY PATENT OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

Eisai shall, to the extent practicable, endeavor to discuss and agree with Arena upon whether to recall or withdraw such Product in the Territory; provided, that if such discussion is not practicable or if the Parties fail to so agree within an appropriate time period (recognizing the exigencies of the situation), then Eisai shall decide whether to recall or withdraw such Product in the Territory. Eisai shall be responsible for conducting any such recall or withdrawal, shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize the expenses of any such recall or withdrawal and shall keep Arena fully informed of all actions taken in conducting such recall or withdrawal. Any recall or withdrawal expenses shall be shared equally by the Parties; provided, that to the extent any such recall or withdrawal resulted from a Party’s material breach of its obligations hereunder or the negligence or willful misconduct of such Party or any of its Affiliates, Sub-distributors (as applicable) or Arena ex-Territory Distributors (as applicable) or other subcontractors, such Party shall bear the expense of such recall or withdrawal to the extent of its or its Affiliates’, Sub-distributors’ (as applicable) or Arena ex-Territory Distributors’ (as applicable) or other subcontractors’ responsibility.

Any such Third Party permitted by Arena hereunder to co-promote or co-market Product with Eisai in the United States, shall be deemed an approved Co-Promotion Partner (in the applicable country) and shall be a “subcontractor” of Eisai for which Eisai shall be responsible as provided in Section 15.5(b).

If requested by Arena, the Parties shall discuss in good faith Arena’s manufacturing capacity in light of forecasts provided by Eisai under Section 6.2(a). Subject to Section 6.6, if either Party anticipates that demand for any Finished Product would exceed Arena’s actual manufacturing capacity, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith a plan for addressing such demand, which may include capital expenditures on a reasonable time frame or increasing Second Source manufacturing capacity.
6.2. Forecasting and Ordering.
(a) Forecasts. With respect to each Product for which an NDA or other application for Regulatory Approval in any country in the Territory has been filed, commencing on the date at least six months prior to the expected date of first Regulatory Approval of such application in such country for the Product, and, on the first day of each month thereafter, Eisai
73
Confidential
shall provide Arena a good faith 18-month rolling forecast of anticipated orders of such Product for the entire Territory, in Finished Product form, to be placed during each month of such period (broken down (A) on a country-by-country and packaging configuration-by-packaging configuration basis and (B) by quantities to be sold commercially or distributed as samples or as part of a compassionate use, named patient use or indigent patient program) (each, a “Forecast” for such Product). Each Forecast will specify, on a month-to-month basis during the 18-month period covered by the particular Forecast, the amounts of Finished Product to be ordered in each month and the requested delivery dates for each such order of Finished Product anticipated to be placed. Each order specified in a Forecast for Initial Product for distribution in the United States shall be for a multiple of an aggregate of [...***...] tablets (or such other number as reasonably agreed by the Parties in writing). Prior to the due date for the first Forecast for each Product in each country in the Territory, the Parties will agree upon the maximum number of tablets that may be ordered in the initial order of such Product in that country, and the minimum number of tablets required in each order for each packaging configuration of the Product in such country. The requested delivery dates for each order covered by a Forecast shall not be sooner than three months, or later than four months, after the order date specified in the Forecast; provided, that, if the Parties agree, Finished Product may be delivered sooner than three months after the order date. The first quarter (consecutive three-month period) of each such Forecast shall be a binding commitment (the “Order Commitment” for the applicable Finished Product for such quarter) on Eisai to place Purchase Orders, in each month of such quarter, to order the applicable Finished Product in amounts at least equal to the amounts forecast to be ordered (and with delivery dates within the limits provided above), which commitment cannot be modified (absent Arena’s written consent); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Eisai be obligated to submit Purchase Orders for or purchase any quantities of Finished Product for a country if Regulatory Approval is not obtained in such country for the applicable Product. Each such Forecast shall otherwise be non-binding, except as provided below, but shall reflect Eisai’s good faith expectation (at the time of submitting the Forecast) of the orders of Finished Product and projected delivery dates during the 18-month period. In each Forecast, the total quantity of Finished Product forecasted to be ordered by Eisai during the first quarter in such Forecast may not vary (either up or down) by more than: (X) 25% from the amounts of such Finished Product forecasted to be ordered for the quarter in the earlier Forecast in which such quarter was the second quarter of the Forecast; or (Y) 50% from the amounts of such Finished Product forecasted to be ordered for the quarter in the earlier Forecast in which such quarter was the third quarter of the Forecast. In addition to the Forecasts described above in this Section 6.2(a), for each Product, Eisai shall provide Arena, within three months after the Effective Date for the Initial Product and not later than six months before the anticipated First Commercial Sale for each Additional Product, and semi-annually thereafter, with a good-faith three-year forecast of anticipated orders of such Product, which forecast shall be nonbinding and used by Arena for capacity planning purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing forecasting process, the Parties acknowledge and agree that forecasting and ordering for the launch of the Initial Product in a country in the Territory, and for the launch of any Additional Product in a country in the Territory, require the Parties to coordinate the launch requirements in advance of obtaining Regulatory Approval for such Product in the applicable country, and thus the Parties hereby agree to discuss reasonably and in good faith and to agree, at least two months prior to expected date of Regulatory Approval of the Initial Product in each country, or the application for
74 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |
Confidential
Regulatory Approval of any Additional Product (as applicable), on the binding forecast covering the orders to be placed by Eisai for amounts to be delivered in the first three months after such Regulatory Approval (such forecast, the “Launch Forecast” with respect to the applicable Product in the applicable country); provided, that, notwithstanding any Launch Forecast for a Product in a country, in no event shall Eisai be obligated to submit Purchase Orders for or purchase any quantities of such Product if Regulatory Approval is not obtained in such country for the applicable Product.
(b) Orders. To order Finished Product for supply by Arena under this Article 6, Eisai shall submit to Arena a Purchase Order (which is deemed binding on Eisai) complying with the other applicable terms of this Article 6 and specifying the amount of Finished Product ordered (broken down (A) on a country-by-country and packaging configuration-by-packaging configuration basis and (B) by quantities to be sold commercially (separate quantities for each different packaging configuration ordered) or distributed as samples or as part of a compassionate use, named patient use or indigent patient program) and the requested delivery date (which shall be within the delivery time limitations specified in subsection (a) above, unless otherwise agreed by Arena). Not later than 10 days after receipt of a Purchase Order, Arena shall confirm in writing its receipt of the Purchase Order (“Order Acceptance”) and the proposed delivery date, which will be within five days (before or after) the requested date, to Eisai in writing. Eisai shall notify Arena within five days after receipt of the Order Acceptance if such proposed delivery date is unworkable for Eisai, and in such event the Parties shall promptly discuss and seek to agree on an alternative delivery date. If Eisai does not respond within such five-day period, the proposed date will be the confirmed delivery date. For any Purchase Order that contains an Excess Order, Arena shall notify Eisai in the Order Acceptance whether Arena will be able to fulfill such Excess Order (or part thereof) and the expected delivery date for fulfillment. For any such Purchase Order submitted by Eisai, Arena shall be obligated to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply to Eisai the amount of Finished Product covered by such Purchase Order by the confirmed delivery date; except that to the extent that such ordered amount, when combined with the total amounts of such Finished Product previously ordered by Eisai during the same quarter, exceeds 125% of the Order Commitment for such Finished Product in such quarter (such excess amount, the “Excess Order”), Arena shall not be obligated to fill any Purchase Orders to the extent of the Excess Orders therein. Eisai may order in a Purchase Order amounts of Finished Product that are Excess Orders with respect to a particular quarter (i.e., that order amounts in excess of 125% the Order Commitment for such quarter), and Arena shall use reasonable efforts to fill such Excess Orders. If there is any material conflict between a Purchase Order or an Order Acceptance and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Agreement prevails and such conflicting terms are rejected and of no effect, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise in writing.
6.3. Delivery and Purchase. For each Purchase Order submitted by Eisai in accordance with Section 6.2(b) (except to the extent of Excess Orders that Arena does not fulfill), Arena shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to deliver to Eisai the specified amount(s) of Finished Product conforming with the warranty set forth in Section 6.13. Eisai shall engage a common carrier, at Eisai’s expense, to ship Finished Product to Eisai. Upon Eisai’s request, Arena shall assist Eisai in identifying a suitable common carrier. Title and risk of loss with respect to Finished Product shall pass to Eisai, and delivery of such Finished Product
75
Confidential
to Eisai for purposes of this Agreement shall be made, when Arena tenders such Finished Product to Eisai’s designated common carrier at Xxxxx Logistik (Schweiz) AG, Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 00, XX-0000 Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx (or such other location in Switzerland designated by Arena in writing at least 15 days prior to the confirmed delivery date). Arena, at its own expense, shall be responsible for clearing Finished Product for export and obtaining any export licenses with respect thereto. Eisai, at its own expense, shall be responsible for clearing Finished Product for import and obtaining any import licenses with respect thereto. Arena shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make each such delivery to Eisai by the confirmed delivery date. Upon delivery of Finished Product (but subject to Section 6.11), Eisai shall have the obligation to pay Arena the Product Purchase Price pursuant to Section 7.4 for such delivered Finished Product.
6.4. [Reserved]
6.5. Labeling and Packaging. Arena and Eisai shall discuss and reasonably agree on all technical requirements for packaging configurations, packaging and labeling used with Finished Product in each country in the Territory. Arena shall label and package (in appropriate primary, secondary and tertiary packaging), including production of Package Inserts, Finished Product to be supplied in accordance with such agreement of the Parties, the applicable Manufacturing SOPs, and Applicable Laws of each applicable country in the Territory, for delivery in final form to Eisai under this Agreement. Eisai shall be responsible for providing to Arena (or its designees, including printed packaging material vendors utilized by Arena) all artwork for all such labeling, Package Inserts and packaging on a timely basis, for each applicable packaging configuration for each country in the Territory, as necessary for Arena to perform such labeling and packaging, and in formats as reasonably agreed by the Parties and reasonably acceptable to Arena. It is agreed that Arena’s obligations to manufacture and supply Finished Product shall be delayed to the extent Eisai does not timely agree on all packaging and labeling used with Finished Product (which must be compatible with Arena’s equipment) and deliver such necessary artwork. Arena shall have the right to subcontract the manufacture of all printed packaging materials, including labels, and Arena shall be responsible for all such subcontractors as provided in Section 15.5(b).
6.6. Second Source. Arena shall (a) engage and qualify a contract manufacturer to act as a “back-up” contract manufacturer, to manufacture and supply to Arena amounts of Finished Product (a “Second Source”), by the date 27 months after the First Commercial Sale of the first Product in the United States, including by entering into a supply agreement and quality agreement with such Second Source that is approved by Eisai, such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, and (b) to keep such Second Source (or a subsequently-qualified Second Source) qualified to manufacture and supply to Arena the Finished Product during the Term.
6.7. Quality Agreement. Each Party shall duly and punctually perform all of its obligations under and pursuant to the Quality Agreement. Arena shall release all Finished Products in accordance with the terms of the Quality Agreement.
6.8. Quality Control. Arena shall maintain and follow a quality control and quality assurance testing program consistent with the Specifications, the Quality Agreement, GMP, and
76
Confidential
all other requirements of Applicable Laws and reasonably consistent with industry standards (the “Quality Control Procedures”), which shall include performing the applicable Product Acceptance Tests on each Batch of Finished Product prior to delivery to Eisai. Arena shall ensure that all Finished Product supplied to Eisai hereunder by Arena shall be manufactured in accordance with the applicable Manufacturing SOPs, the Quality Agreement, GMP and all other Applicable Laws, and all other applicable requirements of Regulatory Authorities, (collectively, “Regulatory Standards”) and shall conform to the applicable warranty set forth in Section 6.13.
6.9. Certificates. Arena shall provide to Eisai, accompanying each delivery of Finished Product by Arena: (a) the Batch number and Purchase Order number (if included on the applicable Purchase Order) of the delivered Finished Product, (b) a completed and accurate Certificate of Analysis as to such Batch, and (c) copies of all other documentation required for Finished Product release as provided in the Quality Agreement.
6.10. Quality Audits. Arena shall maintain all quality control documentation and Product Acceptance Test results for each Batch of Finished Product for a period and in a manner consistent with Regulatory Standards and the Quality Agreement. Eisai may periodically (but no more frequently than once per Calendar Year) review such documentation and results, and, as provided for in the Quality Agreement, audit and verify the adherence of Arena to the Quality Control Procedures and Regulatory Standards. Such review and audit shall be on reasonable prior notice and conducted during business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably disrupt Arena’s business or operations.
6.11. Acceptance/Rejection. Eisai (or its authorized representative) shall perform a reasonable and customary visual inspection of all batches of Finished Product delivered by Arena and shall report to Arena any Finished Product that is reasonably discernable upon such visual inspection not to conform to the warranty set forth in Section 6.13 (“Non-Conforming Finished Product”) within 20 days of receipt by Eisai. Eisai shall report to Arena Non-Conforming Finished Product with hidden defects within 30 days of Eisai’s discovery of the same. A defect is hidden if it could not reasonably have been discovered by a reasonable and customary visual inspection upon receipt of the Finished Product. If any Finished Product is found to be Non-Conforming Finished Product and is reported by Eisai to Arena in the above time frame, then Arena shall, at Eisai’s request and option (to be exercised by Eisai promptly), either: (a) replace such Non-Conforming Finished Product at no additional charge to Eisai; (b) refund to Eisai the Product Purchase Price paid (if already paid) to Arena for such Non-Conforming Finished Product or cancel the applicable Purchase Order if not paid; or (c) credit Eisai’s account in an amount equal to the Product Purchase Price paid for such Non-Conforming Finished Product, and in any case ((a), (b) or (c)) Arena shall reimburse all shipping, insurance and customs charges for the Non-Conforming Finished Product from the point of delivery in Switzerland to the destination in the Territory of the original shipment, subject to receipt of invoice. Arena shall reimburse Eisai for the reasonable costs incurred by Eisai in properly disposing of or shipping to Arena (as instructed by Arena) such Non-Conforming Finished Product, subject to receipt of invoice. Any notice given under this Section 6.11 shall specify the reason why such Finished Product was found to be Non-Conforming Finished Product. If Eisai does not report any defect or non-conformity of any Finished Product that could reasonably have been discovered by a reasonable and customary visual inspection upon receipt within 20 days of
77
Confidential
receipt by Eisai or any hidden defect within 30 days after discovery thereof, then Eisai shall be deemed to have accepted such Finished Product.
6.12. Dispute Regarding Rejection. If the Parties disagree as to whether a particular delivery of Finished Product contains Non-Conforming Finished Product, and cannot resolve such disagreement within 30 days, the Parties shall appoint an independent testing laboratory or other appropriate expert mutually acceptable to the Parties (the “Testing Laboratory”) to (a) review data that are in question or (b) to oversee the evaluation and testing of a sample of such Finished Product at the Testing Laboratory. The Testing Laboratory will conduct testing in accordance with the methods established for testing as set forth in the applicable Specifications. The Party whose position in the dispute was not supported by the Testing Laboratory’s findings shall bear the costs of the Testing Laboratory. Arena shall address all amounts of Non-Conforming Finished Product as determined by the Testing Laboratory as provided in Section 6.11.
6.13. Product Warranty. Arena warrants that, at the time of delivery to Eisai, all Finished Product delivered to Eisai under this Article 6: (a) will have been manufactured, tested, and packaged in accordance with the applicable Manufacturing SOPs, the Quality Agreement, GMP and all other Applicable Laws; (b) will meet the applicable Specifications; (c) will have a minimum remaining shelf life of at least 70% of the approved shelf life for such Product set forth in the applicable NDA (or other Regulatory Approval) therefor as of the date of delivery, (d) will not be adulterated or misbranded under the FFDCA or any similar law in the country in the Territory in which such Finished Product will be sold or distributed; and (e) may be introduced into interstate commerce pursuant to the FFDCA or any similar law in the country in the Territory in which such Finished Product will be sold or distributed. Each of the foregoing warranties is subject to the limitation that Arena shall have no liability or responsibility under the foregoing for any defects, damage or harm to the Finished Product resulting from improper storage, transportation, mishandling or any other cause occurring after delivery by Arena to Eisai.
6.14. Facility Licenses; Storage. Arena shall obtain and maintain for the facility(ies) at which it manufactures Finished Product for supply to Eisai (the “Facility”), at its sole cost, all permits, licenses and approvals (including facilities licenses) needed for Arena to be able to manufacture and supply Finished Product in compliance with the warranty set forth in Section 6.13 (the “Facility Licenses”), in a timely manner such that Arena is able to meet its manufacturing and supply obligations under this Agreement. Arena shall keep Eisai regularly informed about the status of all such Facility Licenses and shall provide Eisai copies thereof upon request. Arena shall ensure that the Facility complies with GMP and all other Applicable Laws (including environmental laws) with regard to its manufacturing and supply of Finished Product. Arena shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resolve as soon as possible any issues that arise in its seeking or maintaining Facility Licenses, including completely addressing and rectifying any deviations or other issues raised in any Warning Letter from the FDA or any similar warning or objection by any other Regulatory Authority. Arena shall have the right to subcontract with Third Parties for storage services and storage facilities for Finished Products manufactured for supply to Eisai hereunder including Safety Stock, and Arena shall be responsible for all such subcontractors as provided in Section 15.5(b).

6.15. Inspection by Eisai. Arena agrees that Eisai and its respective agents (but no more than a total of three persons per inspection) shall have the right, pursuant to a reasonable confidentiality agreement with Arena, no more than once per Calendar Year (unless any such inspection reveals a material compliance issue, in which event Eisai and its respective agents shall have the right to conduct such additional inspections during such Calendar Year as necessary to verify that such issue has been remedied), upon reasonable prior notice to Arena and during business hours, and in a manner that does not unreasonably disrupt Arena’s manufacturing operations, to inspect the portion of the Facility where Finished Product is manufactured or stored as well as the manufacturing of the Finished Products, including inspection of (a) the raw materials used in the manufacture of the Finished Products, (b) the holding facilities for such raw materials, (c) the equipment used in the manufacture of the Finished Products, and (d) all material records reasonably relating to such manufacturing at the Facility, to the extent they relate to the Finished Products (which records may be copied by Eisai or its agent, at Eisai’s expense). Following such inspection, Eisai shall discuss its observations and conclusions with Arena and if Eisai believes that any corrective actions are necessary for Arena to comply with the terms and conditions of this Article 6, then within 15 days after such discussion, Eisai shall prepare a schedule that sets forth the corrective actions that Eisai reasonably believes in good faith are required, and Arena will consider such actions in good faith and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to implement such corrective actions that Arena reasonably and in good faith determines to be required.
6.16. Regulatory Inspections.
(a) Inspection by Regulatory Authorities. Upon the request of the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority, Arena shall (i) provide the FDA or such other Regulatory Authority reasonable access to observe and inspect (including pre-approval inspections) the Facility and the procedures used for the manufacture, release and stability testing, or warehousing of Finished Product and to audit the Facility for compliance with GMP or other applicable Regulatory Standards and (ii) cause any Third Party that manufactures any active pharmaceutical agent contained in Finished Product to provide the FDA or such other Regulatory Authority reasonable access to observe and inspect (including pre-approval inspections) the facility at which such Third Party manufactures such active pharmaceutical agent and the procedures used for the manufacture, release and stability testing, or warehousing of such active pharmaceutical agent and to audit such facility for compliance with GMP and all other applicable Regulatory Standards. Arena specifically agrees to cooperate with any inspection by the FDA or other Regulatory Authority, whether prior to or after Regulatory Approval of the applicable Finished Product, and to provide Eisai a copy of any inspection or audit report resulting from any such inspection (subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions imposed by any Third Party that manufactures active pharmaceutical agent).
(b) Notification of Inspections. Arena agrees to notify Eisai within five calendar days of Arena’s receipt of any written or oral inquiries, notifications or inspection activity by any Regulatory Authority in regard to Finished Product to be supplied to Eisai hereunder and immediately by telephone after learning of any unannounced visit or inspection, and shall permit one Eisai employee or agent approved by Arena, such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed and subject to such agent’s executing a
79
Confidential
reasonable confidentiality agreement with Arena or, if applicable, any Third Party that manufactures any active pharmaceutical agent contained in Finished Product, to be present at and participate in such visit or inspection, excluding any unannounced visit or inspection. Arena shall furnish to Eisai (i) within five calendar days after Arena’s receipt, any report or correspondence issued by any Regulatory Authority in connection with such inquiry, notification or inspection, including any FDA Form 483 (List of Inspectional Observations) or applicable portions of any FDA Warning Letters that pertain to any Product manufactured for Eisai hereunder (or any equivalent warning notice in another country or jurisdiction), and (ii) not later than two calendar days prior to the time Arena provides the same to any Regulatory Authority, copies of proposed draft responses or explanations relating to items set forth above (each, a “Proposed Response”), in each case redacted of trade secrets or other confidential information of Arena or its contract manufacturer that are unrelated to the obligations under this Agreement and the manufacture of any Finished Product hereunder. Arena shall discuss with Eisai and consider in good faith any comments provided by Eisai on the Proposed Response. After the filing of the Proposed Response (so modified by comments provided by Eisai, as may be agreed) with the FDA or other Regulatory Authority, Arena shall notify Eisai of any further contacts with the FDA or such Regulatory Authority relating to the subject matter of the response.
(c) Remedial Actions. Arena shall notify Eisai immediately in writing in the event any action is taken or threatened by a Regulatory Authority relating to the manufacture or storage of Finished Product by Arena, or relating to the Facility, that would reasonably be expected to impair materially the ability of Arena to manufacture and supply Finished Product (including any impairment to Arena’s ability to manufacture Finished Product conforming to the warranty set forth in Section 6.13) in accordance with this Agreement. In any event, Arena shall address and resolve as soon as reasonably practicable any issues, concerns or warnings from any Regulatory Authority that would reasonably be expected to affect Arena’s ability to manufacture and supply to Eisai Finished Product in accordance with this Agreement. To the extent Arena must implement a plan of remediation or for other modifications or changes to its Facility or its manufacturing processes in order to address and resolve any such issues, concerns or warnings from any Regulatory Authority, Arena shall prepare such plan as soon as possible, shall provide a draft of the plan to Eisai for review and comment, and shall use good faith efforts to implement all reasonable comments of Eisai as soon as possible, and shall implement and complete all aspects of the agreed plan as soon as possible.
6.17. Supply Problems.
(a) If Arena does not deliver any material amount of Finished Product ordered by Eisai under a Purchase Order complying with the terms of Section 6.2 (other than amounts that are Excess Orders) by the date 10 days after the confirmed delivery date, Arena shall thereafter use good faith diligent efforts to deliver such amount as soon as possible. Further, if, due to Arena not supplying to Eisai amounts of Finished Product by the applicable confirmed delivery date(s) under a Purchase Order complying with the terms of Section 6.2 (other than amounts that are Excess Orders), there is a back-order of more than twenty days under pending Purchase Orders of more than 25% of the amount of Finished Product ordered by Eisai pursuant to such Purchase Orders (without regard to whether a Force Majeure event has caused such supply delays), then the Parties shall meet as soon as practicable to discuss the situation and seek
80
Confidential
to find resolution, and in any event Arena shall continue to use good faith diligent efforts to deliver to Eisai such back-ordered amounts of Finished Product as soon as possible, including by obtaining such amounts from a Second Source. Eisai will continue to order all its requirements for supply by Arena, in accordance with the supply commitments of this Agreement.
(b) For purposes of Section 6.17(a), delivery of any quantity of Non-Conforming Finished Product shall be deemed a failure to supply such quantity of Finished Product by the confirmed delivery date if Eisai has timely given Arena notice of such failure under the terms of Section 6.11.
6.18. Product Shortage. If, during any month of the Term, Arena has insufficient quantities of the Finished Products to fill all Purchase Orders (excluding any Excess Orders) submitted by Eisai that require delivery during such month, Arena shall allocate and deliver to Eisai an amount of Finished Product equal to (a) the aggregate amount of Product available for delivery by Arena and its Affiliates in such month to all Persons worldwide, including Eisai, Affiliates of Arena and Third Parties, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of Finished Products delivered by Arena to Eisai during the six-consecutive month period prior to the month in which such shortage occurs, and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Products delivered by Arena to all Persons worldwide, including Eisai, Affiliates of Arena and Third Parties, during the six- consecutive month period prior to the month in which such shortage occurs. Compliance by Arena with this Section 6.18 shall not relieve Arena of any other obligation or liability under this Agreement.
6.19. Safety Stock; Inventory. In order to seek to ensure that Arena complies with its Finished Product delivery obligations under this Article 6, each month during the Term commencing three months after the First Commercial Sale of the first Product in the United States, Arena shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the amount of Safety Stock for such month in inventory at the Facility (or at a storage facility of Arena’s subcontractor). At all times commencing one month after the later of (a) the date that Arena first establishes the Safety Stock or (b) the first date on which the approved shelf life for a Product set forth in the United States NDA therefor is greater than or equal to 24 months, Eisai shall maintain an inventory of at least one month of each Product, based on Eisai’s most recent Forecast; provided, that Arena acknowledges and agrees that Eisai’s obligation to maintain such inventory of such Product shall be suspended to the extent Arena is unable to supply adequate Product to Eisai under this Article 6.
6.20. Commitment to Optimize Supply Relationship. The Parties acknowledge and agree that one of the goals of this Agreement is to provide for the efficient ordering, manufacture and supply by Arena of the Finished Products ordered by Eisai on a timely basis and meeting all requirements of this Agreement, so that each Party benefits from such manufacturing and Eisai’s subsequent Commercialization. In support of achieving such goals, the Parties have established a manufacturing working group, comprised of appropriate individuals with necessary expertise and authority, to meet (by telephone or as otherwise agreed by the Parties) on a regular basis to coordinate forecasting, ordering and delivery planning and execution and to discuss manufacturing and supply matters (the “Manufacturing Working Group”). The Manufacturing Working Group shall have reasonable written guidelines and
81
Confidential
procedures to facilitate regular and efficient communications and to keep appropriate records of the interactions and decisions. If any aspect of the forecasting, ordering, delivery or other supply-related provisions set forth above in this Article 6 is determined, based on experience in operating under such provisions, to impact negatively a Party in its efforts to achieve the goals set forth above, then at such Party’s request the Manufacturing Working Group shall meet and discuss reasonably and in good faith, and seek to agree on, appropriate modifications to such aspect of the provisions, and shall present any such agreed modifications to the Parties, who shall seek to agree on a written amendment to this Agreement modifying such provisions in a manner that better provides for the more efficient ordering, manufacture and supply of Finished Product to Eisai by Arena. For example, a longer shelf life for Finished Product delivered to Eisai may be requested by Eisai and accommodated by Arena, and greater flexibility with respect to delivery dates for Finished Product may be requested by Arena and accommodated by Eisai, in each case, as the Parties may agree in a written amendment in furtherance of the goals set forth above. In addition, if either Party desires to manufacture a Finished Product in an alternative presentation or packaging configuration (e.g., different number of tablets per bottle) for sale in the Territory, at such Party’s request, the Manufacturing Working Group shall discuss in good faith the implementation of such alternative presentation or configuration. The Manufacturing Working Group shall work in good faith to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maximize the shelf life of all Initial Product delivered to Eisai from the date of FDA approval of the Initial Product NDA to the end of the third month after the First Commercial Sale of the Initial Product in the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manufacturing Working Group shall not have any power to amend or modify this Agreement, and no decision of the Manufacturing Working Group shall be enforceable to the extent it is in contravention of any terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Percentage Rate Adjustment for Generic Sales. If, during any Calendar Quarter there have been sales of a Generic Version of a Product in a country in the Territory, the
87 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |
Confidential
percentage rate under Section 7.4(a) used to determine the Product Purchase Price for Eisai’s purchase of such Product for sale in such country shall be adjusted downward as of either (i) with respect to the first Calendar Quarter in which the aggregate units of all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in such Calendar Quarter exceed [...***...]% of the aggregate units of such Product and all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in such Calendar Quarter, if Eisai notifies Arena thereof no later than 15 days after the end of such Calendar Quarter, the later of the first day of such Calendar Quarter or the first day of the month in which a Third Party first sells a Generic Version of such Product in such country in the Territory or (ii) the first day of the Calendar Quarter immediately following the Calendar Quarter in which the aggregate units of all Generic Versions of a Product sold in such country in the Territory in such first Calendar Quarter exceed [...***...]% of the aggregate units of such Product and all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in such first Calendar Quarter if Eisai notifies Arena thereof more than 15 days after the end of such first Calendar Quarter, as follows: (A) to [...***...]% of the percentage rate otherwise applicable under the applicable schedule in Section 7.4(a) (e.g., for Product purchased for sale in the United States (under subclause (a)(i) above) from 31.5%, [...***...]% and 36.5% to [...***...]%,[...***...]%, and [...***...]%, respectively) in the event that aggregate units of all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in the applicable Calendar Quarter exceed [...***...]% of the aggregate units of such Product and all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in the applicable Calendar Quarter; or (B) to [...***...]% of the percentage rate otherwise applicable under the schedule in Section 7.4(a) (e.g., for Product purchased for sale in the United States (under subclause (a)(i) above) from 31.5%, [...***...]% and 36.5% to [...***...]%,[...***...]%, and [...***...]%, respectively) in the event that the aggregate units of all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in the applicable Calendar Quarter exceed [...***...]% of the aggregate units of such Product and all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in the applicable Calendar Quarter; provided, that the percentage rates under the applicable schedule in Section 7.4(a) shall not be adjusted as provided above unless and until the aggregate units of all Generic Versions of such Product in such country in the Territory in a Calendar Quarter exceed [...***...]% of the aggregate units of such Product and all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in such Calendar Quarter; and provided, further, that if after launch of a Generic Version of the applicable Product that results in a reduction of the percentage rates under the applicable schedule in Section 7.4(a) with respect to purchase of Product for sale in such country, a Resumption Date (as defined below) occurs with respect to such country, the above reduction in the percentage rate shall thereafter no longer apply with respect to such purchase of Products by Eisai for sale in such country, unless and until the aggregate units of all Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in the Territory in a Calendar Quarter again exceed [...***...]% of the aggregate units of such Product and the Generic Versions of such Product sold in such country in the applicable Calendar Quarter, in which case the above provisions again apply. As used herein, a “unit” of a product means the equivalent of a prescription for 30 day supply of such product, and units of generic sales shall be determined by IMS data (or an equivalent, reliable source of prescribing information as agreed by the Parties in writing). As used herein, “Resumption Date” with respect to a Product being sold in a particular country in the Territory means the date (if any) after launch in such country of a Generic Version of such Product that results in a reduction of the percentage rates under the applicable schedule in Section 7.4(a) that is the earlier of (x) if a court or courts of competent jurisdiction issues one or more preliminary or permanent injunction(s) enjoining the sale in such

(c) Payment of Product Purchase Prices; Reports. At a reasonable time prior to the initial Eisai purchase of a particular Product, but in no event later than 30 days before the anticipated First Commercial Sale of such Product, and at the beginning of each Fiscal Semester thereafter, the Parties shall discuss in good faith and agree on a reasonable estimate of the actual Product Purchase Prices for such Product purchase (based on the Product Purchase Price calculations under subsection (a) above), which estimate shall be based on a reasonable approximation of the aggregate Net Sales of such Product to be recognized by Eisai and its Affiliates in the United States and by Eisai and its Affiliates and Sub-distributors in the Additional Territory and New Territory during the Fiscal Year in which such Fiscal Semester occurs (each such agreed estimate, the “Estimated Price” for such Product, for the applicable Fiscal Semester). For all amounts of a Product purchased by Eisai in a Fiscal Semester, promptly after Arena delivers such Product to Eisai, Arena shall invoice Eisai an amount equal to the total units of such Product delivered by Arena to Eisai, times the Estimated Price for such Product applicable to such Fiscal Semester, and Eisai shall pay such invoiced amount no later than 30 days after receipt of the invoice. Within 10 days after the end of each month (other than the end of a Calendar Quarter) after the First Commercial Sale of the first Product, Eisai shall prepare and send to Arena a report stating: (i) the total amount of Net Sales of each Product during such month, and; (ii) the detailed total deductions (in each allowed category) from gross amounts invoiced to arrive at Net Sales; and (iii) the sales in units of each Product in the Territory and gross amounts invoiced for such sales, on a Product-by-Product basis during such month. Within 15 days after the end of each Calendar Quarter (other than the end of a Fiscal Year) after the First Commercial Sale of the first Product, Eisai shall prepare and send to Arena a report stating: (x) the total amount of Net Sales of each Product during such Calendar Quarter; (y) the detailed and total deductions (in each allowed category) from gross amounts invoiced to arrive at such Net Sales; and (z) the sales in units of each Product in the Territory and gross amounts invoiced for such sales, on a Product-by-Product basis during such Calendar Quarter. Within 15 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, Eisai shall prepare and send to Arena a report stating: (A) the total amount of Net Sales of each Product during such Fiscal Year, and the
89 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |
Confidential
detailed and total deductions (in each allowed category) from gross amounts invoiced to arrive at Net Sales; (B) the sales in units of each Product in the Territory and gross amounts invoiced for such sales, on a Product-by-Product basis during such Fiscal Year; (C) the calculation of the actual aggregate Product Purchase Price payments due to Arena on such sales; (D) the total amount of Estimated Prices actually paid by Eisai to Arena upon invoice (as provided above) for the delivery of such Products to Eisai; and (E) the amount of the reconciliation payment (the “Reconciliation Payment”) for such Fiscal Year owed by Eisai to Arena, or Arena to Eisai (as applicable), based on the calculations in subclauses (C) and (D) above, such that after such Reconciliation Payment (by the appropriate Party to the other) Eisai has paid to Arena the total actual Product Purchase Price amount (as calculated under Section 7.4(a), but subject to Sections 7.4(d), 7.4(e) and 7.6) owed for the purchase of such Products sold in such Fiscal Year. Within 15 days of Arena’s receipt of such report from Eisai, the applicable Party shall pay to the other the Reconciliation Payment shown to be owed in such report. Eisai shall be responsible for payment of any sales or value-added tax applicable to the sale of Finished Product by Arena to Eisai (either at the Estimated Price or Reconciliation Payment). The Parties agree that each of the monthly, quarterly and annual reports to be provided by Eisai to Arena above shall be broken down to report all gross sales and Net Sales on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis for all countries in the Territory.
(d) Purchase Price for Products Returned or Not Sold. The Parties hereby agree that, for any particular Finished Product delivered to Eisai other than Non-Conforming Finished Product that either (i) is not subsequently resold by Eisai (e.g., because it reaches the end of its shelf life prior to sale, or it is destroyed or damaged), or (ii) whose sales price is not included in Net Sales (e.g., due to credits or allowances for rejections or returns by the purchasing party, which are deducted from gross sales to calculate Net Sales), the Product Purchase Price that Eisai shall pay Arena for such Finished Product shall be the Finished Product COGS for such Finished Product, and the Reconciliation Payment for the period when such Finished Product is determined to meet the foregoing shall be adjusted to reflect such Product Purchase Price.
(e) Minimum Product Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will the Product Purchase Price for any Finished Product sold by Eisai or its Affiliate or Sub-distributor and included in Net Sales, after applying all deductions under Sections 7.4(b) and 7.8, be less than US$[...***...] per tablet, which amount shall be adjusted annually after the Effective Date to reflect any year-to-year percentage increase or decrease (as the case may be) in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the U.S. City Average, 1982-84 = 100.
7.5. Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payments.
(a) The Product Purchase Prices owed by Eisai for its purchase of Products from Arena that are then sold by Eisai and its Affiliates and Sub-distributors in a particular Commercial Year in the Territory are subject to adjustment by the payment by Eisai of one time purchase price adjustment payments, as provided below (each, a “Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment”) for achievement of Net Sales throughout the Territory within any Commercial Year above the threshold Net Sales amounts set forth below:

If, for any particular Commercial Year, Eisai (including its Affiliates and Sub-distributors) has sold in the Territory (for the first time) an amount of the Products in excess of one of the above threshold Net Sales amounts, then Eisai shall pay to Arena, as an adjustment to the Product Purchase Price paid by Eisai for its purchase of such Products, a Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment in the amount listed above for such threshold, such payment to be made within 45 days of the end of the month during such Commercial Year when such threshold amount is first reached; provided, that if more than one such Net Sales threshold in this subsection (a) is first achieved in the same Commercial Year, then (x) the total amount of Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payments paid by Eisai for such achievements shall equal (and not exceed) the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment owed for the larger Net Sales threshold (that is, for the second (and any subsequent) threshold amount that is reached, Eisai shall pay to Arena, within 45 days of the end of the month during such Commercial Year when such subsequent threshold(s) amount is first reached, the difference between the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment owed for the larger Net Sales threshold and the total of the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment(s) paid by Eisai for the Net Sales threshold(s) met previously in such Commercial Year), and (y) the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment(s) (based on the above schedule) that was (or were) not paid due to the limitation in the foregoing clause (x) shall be paid in the first subsequent Commercial Year when the respective Net Sales threshold is again met and no other Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment is due. For example, if annual Net Sales for Commercial Years 1 and 2 throughout the Territory are US$[...***...] and US$[...***...], respectively, then a US$25 million payment shall be paid when the first threshold is met in Commercial Year 1, and a subsequent payment of US$[...***...] shall be paid after the second threshold is met in Commercial Year 1 (for a total of US$[...***...]). In Commercial Year 2, a US$25 million payment shall be paid when the first threshold is met in Commercial Year 2. As an additional example, if annual Net Sales for Commercial Years 1, 2 and 3 throughout the Territory are US$[...***...], US$[...***...], and US$[...***...], respectively, then a US$[...***...] payment shall be paid for Commercial Year 1 (in increments of US$25 million and US$[...***...]), a US$[...***...]
91 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |

payment shall be paid for Commercial Year 2 (in increments of US$25 million and US$[...***...]), and a US$25 million payment shall be paid for Commercial Year 3. Eisai covenants to record and track its aggregate Product Net Sales throughout the Territory for Commercial Years on a monthly basis to determine accurately when any of the above aggregate Net Sales thresholds has been met, and to report any such threshold achievement to Arena within 30 days after such threshold has been achieved. Any such Product Purchase Price Adjustment payment will be allocated to Product sales made during the Commercial Year throughout the Territory up to the date that the Net Sales threshold triggering such payment is achieved.
No Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment under Section 7.5(a) will be made more than once regardless of the number of times any particular Net Sales threshold that causes such payment is subsequently achieved again.
For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Eisai pay more than US$1,160,000,000 under this Section 7.5(a).
(b) In addition to any Product Purchase Price Adjustment payable under subsection (a) above, the Product Purchase Prices owed by Eisai for its purchase of Products from Arena that are then sold by Eisai and its Affiliates and Sub-distributors in a particular Commercial Year in the Additional Territory are subject to adjustment by the payment by Eisai of a Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment for achievement of Net Sales solely in the Additional Territory within any Commercial Year above the threshold Net Sales amounts set forth below:

If, for any particular Commercial Year, Eisai (including its Affiliates and Sub-distributors) has sold solely in the Additional Territory (for the first time) an amount of the Products in excess of one of the above threshold Net Sales amounts, then Eisai shall pay to Arena, as an adjustment to the Product Purchase Price paid by Eisai for its purchase of such Products, a Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment in the amount listed above for such threshold, such payment to be made within 45 days of the end of the month during such Commercial Year when such threshold amount is first reached; provided, that if more than one such Net Sales threshold in this subsection (b) is first achieved in the same Commercial Year, then (x) the total amount of Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payments paid by Eisai for such achievements shall equal (and not exceed) the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment owed for the larger Net Sales

threshold (that is, for the second (and any subsequent) threshold amount that is reached, Eisai shall pay to Arena, within 45 days of the end of the month during such Commercial Year when such subsequent threshold(s) amount is first reached, the difference between the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment owed for the larger Net Sales threshold and the total of the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment(s) paid by Eisai for the Net Sales threshold(s) met previously in such Commercial Year), and (y) the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment(s) (based on the above schedule) that was (or were) not paid due to the limitation in the foregoing clause (x) shall be paid in the first subsequent Commercial Year when the respective Net Sales threshold is again met and no other Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment is due. For example, if annual Net Sales for Commercial Years 1 and 2 solely in the Additional Territory are US$[...***...] and US$[...***...], respectively, then a US$[...***...] payment shall be paid when the first threshold is met in Commercial Year 1, and a subsequent payment of US$[...***...] shall be paid after the second threshold is met in Commercial Year 1 (for a total of US$[...***...]). In Commercial Year 2, a US$[...***...] payment shall be paid when the first threshold is met in Commercial Year 2. As an additional example, if annual Net Sales for Commercial Years 1, 2 and 3 solely in the Additional Territory are US$[...***...], US$[...***...], and US$[...***...], respectively, then a US$[...***...] payment shall be paid for Commercial Year 1 (in increments of US$[...***...] and US$[...***...]), a US$[...***...] payment shall be paid for Commercial Year 2 (in increments of US$[...***...], US$[...***...] and US$[...***...]), and a US$[...***...] payment shall be paid for Commercial Year 3 (in increments of US$[...***...], and US$[...***...]). Eisai covenants to record and track its aggregate Product Net Sales for Commercial Years solely in the Additional Territory on a monthly basis to determine accurately when any of the above aggregate Net Sales thresholds has been met, and to report any such threshold achievement to Arena within 30 days after such threshold has been achieved. Any such Product Purchase Price Adjustment payment will be allocated to Product sales made during the Commercial Year solely in the Additional Territory up to the date that the Net Sales threshold triggering such payment is achieved.
No Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment under Section 7.5(b) will be made more than once regardless of the number of times any particular Net Sales threshold that causes such payment is subsequently achieved again.
For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Eisai pay more than US$185,000,000 under this Section 7.5(b).
(c) In addition to any Product Purchase Price Adjustment payable under subsection (a) above, the Product Purchase Prices owed by Eisai for its purchase of Products from Arena that are then sold by Eisai and its Affiliates and Sub-distributors in a particular Commercial Year in the New Territory are subject to adjustment by the payment by Eisai of a Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment for achievement of Net Sales solely in the New Territory within any Commercial Year above the threshold Net Sales amounts set forth below:

If, for any particular Commercial Year, Eisai (including its Affiliates and Sub-distributors) has sold solely in the New Territory (for the first time) an amount of the Products in excess of one of the above threshold Net Sales amounts, then Eisai shall pay to Arena, as an adjustment to the Product Purchase Price paid by Eisai for its purchase of such Products, a Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment in the amount listed above for such threshold, such payment to be made within 45 days of the end of the month during such Commercial Year when such threshold amount is first reached; provided, that if more than one such Net Sales threshold in this subsection (c) is first achieved in the same Commercial Year, then (x) the total amount of Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payments paid by Eisai for such achievements shall equal (and not exceed) the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment owed for the larger Net Sales threshold (that is, for the second (and any subsequent) threshold amount that is reached, Eisai shall pay to Arena, within 45 days of the end of the month during such Commercial Year when such subsequent threshold(s) amount is first reached, the difference between the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment owed for the larger Net Sales threshold and the total of the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment(s) paid by Eisai for the Net Sales threshold(s) met previously in such Commercial Year), and (y) the Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment(s) (based on the above schedule) that was (or were) not paid due to the limitation in the foregoing clause (x) shall be paid in the first subsequent Commercial Year when the respective Net Sales threshold is again met and no other Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment is due. For example, if annual Net Sales for Commercial Years 1 and 2 solely in the New Territory are US$[...***...] and US$[...***...], respectively, then a US$[...***...] payment shall be paid when the first threshold is met in Commercial Year 1, and a subsequent payment of US$[...***...] shall be paid after the second threshold is met in Commercial Year 1 (for a total of US$[...***...]). In Commercial Year 2, a US$[...***...] payment shall be paid when the first threshold is met in Commercial Year 2. As an additional example, if annual Net Sales for Commercial Years 1, 2 and 3 solely in the New Territory are US$[...***...], US$[...***...], and US$[...***...], respectively, then a US$[...***...] payment shall be paid for Commercial Year 1 (in increments of US$[...***...] and US$[...***...]), a US$[...***...] payment shall be paid for Commercial Year 2 (in increments of US$[...***...], US$[...***...] and US$[...***...]), and a US$[...***...] payment shall be paid for Commercial Year 3 (in increments of US$[...***...], and US$[...***...]). Eisai covenants to record and track its aggregate Product Net Sales for Commercial Years solely in the New Territory on a monthly basis to determine accurately when any of the above aggregate Net Sales thresholds has been met, and to report any such threshold achievement to Arena within 30 days after such

threshold has been achieved. Any such Product Purchase Price Adjustment payment will be allocated to Product sales made during the Commercial Year solely in the New Territory up to the date that the Net Sales threshold triggering such payment is achieved.
No Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payment under Section 7.5(c) will be made more than once regardless of the number of times any particular Net Sales threshold that causes such payment is subsequently achieved again.
For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Eisai pay more than US$185,000,000 under this Section 7.5(c).
7.6. Non-Commercial Product Purchase Price. With respect to any Finished Products delivered by Arena to Eisai that are used as samples (including in exchange for a voucher) or as part of a compassionate use, named patient use or indigent patient program (collectively, all such Finished Product, “Non-Commercial Product”) in the Territory and thus are disposed of by Eisai (or its Affiliate) without charge, Eisai shall pay Arena an amount equal to the Finished Product COGS with respect thereto. However, Arena shall invoice Eisai for all such Non-Commercial Product delivered to Eisai at the Product Purchase Price. Within 15 days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, Eisai shall prepare and send to Arena a report stating: (i) the total number of tablets distributed as Non-Commercial Product, (ii) the calculation of the actual amounts paid by Eisai to Arena (based on Estimated Price) for such Non-Commercial Product, (iii) the calculation of the actual price of such Non-Commercial Product based on Finished Product COGs, and (iv) the difference between (ii) and (iii) above representing the amount of the reconciliation payment owed by Arena to Eisai, such that after such reconciliation payment Eisai has paid to Arena the Finished Product COGs amount with respect to such Non-Commercial Product. Within 15 days of Arena’s receipt of such report from Eisai, Arena shall pay to Eisai the reconciliation payment shown to be owed in such report.
7.7. Payment Method; Currency. All payments to the Payee Party under this Agreement shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account in the name of the Payee Party designated in writing by the Payee Party. Payments hereunder shall be considered to be made as of the day on which they are received by the Payee Party’s designated bank. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, all amounts specified to be payable under this Agreement are in United States Dollars and shall be paid in United States Dollars.

If either Party becomes aware of a Patent in the Territory owned by a Third Party that it believes will, or may, be infringed by the manufacture, importation, development or Commercialization of any Product in the Territory as contemplated by this Agreement, such Party shall notify the other Party of such Patent. The Parties then shall discuss the matter and seek in good faith to agree on whether the Parties should take a license under such Patent, and if so, on what terms; provided, that if the Parties are unable to agree after a reasonable period, not to exceed 30 days, of good faith discussions, then Eisai shall have the right to obtain such a license on such terms as it determines in its sole discretion. The Parties shall share the actual out-of-pocket amounts paid to the Third Party for any such license under such a Patent with respect to any Product, with Eisai bearing [...***...]% of such amounts and Arena

Confidential
bearing [...***...]%; provided, that (a) in no event shall Arena be required to pay any amount of its share of such payments in any Calendar Quarter that exceeds [...***...]% of the Product Purchase Price Payments earned by Arena for Finished Product supplied to Eisai during such Calendar Quarter, and any amount of Arena’s share of such expenses not paid in any Calendar Quarter due to the foregoing limitation shall be carried forward and paid in future Calendar Quarters, (b) payments for past activities shall be subject to Section 9.4 to the extent applicable and (c) to the extent such license is required based on a Patent related to the manufacturing of such Finished Product, then, to the extent that Arena agrees to the terms of such license, Arena shall bear [...***...]% of the actual out-of-pocket amounts paid to any Third Party for such license.
7.9. Taxes. The milestones, Product Purchase Price, Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payments and other amounts payable by one Party (the “Paying Party”) to the other Party (the “Payee Party”) pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Payment”) shall not be reduced on account of any taxes except to the extent of amounts required to be withheld by the Paying Party by Applicable Laws, if any. The Payee Party alone shall be responsible for paying any and all taxes (other than withholding taxes required by Applicable Laws to be withheld from Payments and remitted by the Paying Party) levied on account of, or measured in whole or in part by reference to, any Payments it receives. Without limiting the above, the Paying Party shall not withhold from the Payments any taxes except to the extent that it is required to do so by Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Payee Party is entitled under any applicable tax treaty to a reduction of rate of, or the elimination of, applicable withholding tax, it may deliver to the Paying Party or the appropriate governmental authority (with the assistance of the Paying Party to the extent that this is reasonably required and is expressly requested in writing) the prescribed forms necessary to reduce the applicable rate of withholding or to relieve the Paying Party of its obligation to withhold tax, and the Paying Party shall apply the reduced rate of withholding, or dispense with withholding, as the case may be; provided, that the Paying Party has received evidence, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Party, of the Payee Party’s delivery of all applicable forms (and, if necessary, its receipt of appropriate governmental authorization) at least 15 days prior to the time that the applicable Payment is due. If, in accordance with the foregoing, the Paying Party withholds any amount, it shall pay to the Payee Party the balance when due, make timely payment to the proper taxing authority of the withheld amount and send to the Payee Party proof of such payment within 10 days following such payment. In the event any taxes are withheld on any Payment, the Paying Party agrees to pay the Payee Party an amount equal to [...***...]% of the amount withheld (less any additional required withholding).
7.10. Records.
(a) Eisai shall keep, and cause its Affiliates and Sub-distributors to keep, complete, true and accurate books of accounts and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable to Arena pursuant to Section 7.3, Section 7.4, Section 7.5 and Section 7.6. Such books and records shall be kept for such period of time required by Applicable Laws, but no less than at least five years following the end of the Calendar Quarter to which they pertain. Such records shall be subject to inspection in accordance with Section 7.11.
96 | ***Confidential Treatment Requested |
Confidential
(b) Arena shall keep, and cause its Affiliates to keep, complete, true and accurate books of accounts and records for the purpose of determining the Finished Product COGS pursuant to this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept for such period of time required by Applicable Laws, but no less than at least five years following the end of the Calendar Quarter to which they pertain. Such records shall be subject to inspection in accordance with Section 7.11.
7.11. Audits.
(a) Upon not less than 60 days’ prior written notice, Eisai shall permit an independent, certified public accountant of international recognition (for the purposes of this Section 7.11, the “Auditor”) selected by Arena and reasonably acceptable to Eisai, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, to audit or inspect those books and records of Eisai and its Affiliates and Sub-distributors that relate to Net Sales and Reconciliation Payments for the sole purpose of verifying the Product Purchase Price payments, Product Purchase Price Adjustment Payments and Reconciliation Payments.
(b) Upon not less than 60 days’ prior written notice, Arena shall permit an Auditor selected by Eisai and reasonably acceptable to Arena, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, to audit or inspect those books or records of Arena and its Affiliates that relate to the Finished Product COGS for the sole purpose of verifying the amounts invoiced by Arena pursuant to Section 7.4(d) or 7.6.
(c) The audited party shall not be obligated to provide the Auditor any records until the Auditor executes a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the audited party. The Auditor shall disclose to the auditing Party only whether any reports made or amounts invoiced under this Agreement are correct and details concerning any discrepancies. The Auditor shall send a copy of the report to the other Party at the same time it is sent to the auditing Party. Such audits or inspections may be made no more than once each Calendar Year (unless an audit or inspection reveals a material inaccuracy in reports made or amounts invoiced under this Agreement, in which case it may be repeated within such Calendar Year), during normal business hours. If such report shows that the amounts paid by a Party for the period audited are less than the amounts actually payable by such Party to the other Party during the period audited, then (absent manifest error or fraud in such audit report) the underpaying Party shall pay to the other Party the amount of such underpayment plus interest under Section 7.12, from the date such amounts were originally owed until payment is made, within 30 days of receipt of such audit. If such report shows that the amounts paid by a Party for the period audited exceed the amounts actually owed by such Party to the other Party for the period audited, then (absent manifest error or fraud in such audit report) the overpaying Party shall deliver to the other Party an invoice for such excess amount, and the other Party shall pay such invoiced excess amount within 30 days of receipt of such invoice. Such records for any particular Calendar Quarter shall be subject to no more than one audit or inspection and no audit or inspection with respect to any Calendar Quarter may be initiated later than five years after the end of such Calendar Quarter. Audits and inspections conducted under this Section 7.11 shall be at the expense of the auditing Party, unless a variation or error producing (i) with respect to an audit or inspection pursuant to subsection (a), an underpayment in amounts payable exceeding an amount
97
Confidential
equal to 5% of the amount paid for a period covered by the audit or inspection is established, in which case all reasonable and verifiable costs relating to the audit or inspection for such period and any unpaid amounts that are discovered shall be paid by Eisai and (ii) with respect to an audit or inspection pursuant to subsection (b), an overpayment in amounts payable exceeding an amount equal to 5% of the amount paid for a period covered by the audit or inspection is established, in which case all reasonable and verifiable costs relating to the audit or inspection for such period and any unpaid amounts that are discovered shall be paid by Arena. The auditing Party shall endeavor in such audit not to unreasonably disrupt the normal business activities of the audited party.
7.12. Payment Due Dates; Late Payments. If any Payment is due on a day when banks in New York, New York are generally closed, then such Payment shall not be considered late if made on the next day on which such banks are generally open. In the event that any Payment due under this Agreement is not made when due, such Payment shall accrue interest from the date due at a rate per annum equal to 4% above the U.S. Prime Rate (as set forth in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition) for the date on which payment was originally due until the date such Payment plus accrued interest hereunder is actually made, calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year, or similar reputable data source; provided, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate. The payment of such interest shall not limit the Party entitled to receive such payment from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any Payment.
7.13. Currency Conversion. For the purpose of calculating any sums due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than United States Dollars), such conversion shall be made by using the arithmetic mean of the exchange rates for the purchase of United States Dollars as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, on the last Business Day of each month in the Calendar Quarter(s) to which such payments relate.
Article 8.
CONFIDENTIALITY; STANDSTILL
8.1. Product Information. Arena recognizes that by reason of, inter alia, Eisai’s status as an exclusive distributor of the Products in the Territory under this Agreement, Eisai has an interest in Arena’s retention in confidence of certain highly proprietary, confidential information of Arena. Accordingly, until the expiration of Eisai’s exclusive distributorship with respect to the Products, Arena shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents to, keep completely confidential, and not publish or otherwise disclose, and not use directly or indirectly for any purpose other than to fulfill Arena’s obligations, or exercise Arena’s rights, under this Agreement, any Know-How Controlled by Arena or any of its Affiliates, but excluding all Program Know-How, that relates directly and solely to Compound or Product where the public disclosure of such information would materially negatively impact the Commercialization of Product in the Territory (the “Product Information”); except to the extent (a) the Product Information is or becomes in the public domain through no fault of Arena, any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers,
98
Confidential
directors, employees, or agents, (b) such disclosure or use is expressly permitted under Section 8.4, or (c) such disclosure or use is otherwise expressly permitted by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For clarity and subject to the foregoing, Product Information shall be deemed Confidential Information of Arena. In the event this Agreement is terminated in its entirety pursuant to Article 12, this Section 8.1 shall have no continuing force or effect, but the Product Information, to the extent disclosed by Arena to Eisai hereunder, shall continue to be Confidential Information of Arena, subject to the terms of Sections 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4, for purposes of the surviving provisions of this Agreement.
8.2. Confidential Information. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the Parties agree that the receiving Party (the “Receiving Party”) shall keep confidential and not publish or otherwise disclose or use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement any Know-How, information or materials, patentable or otherwise, in any form (written, oral, photographic, electronic, magnetic, or otherwise) that is disclosed to it by the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) pursuant to this Agreement, including all information concerning the Initial Product or any Additional Product or any Compound and any other technical or business information of whatever nature concerning the Disclosing Party or its technology or business (collectively, “Confidential Information” of the Disclosing Party), except that the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors (including, in the case of Eisai, Sub-distributors and Co-Promotion Partners, and in the case of Arena, the Arena ex-Territory Distributors) and consultants with a need to know such Confidential Information to assist the Receiving Party with the activities contemplated or required of it by this Agreement (and who shall be advised of the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder and who are bound by confidentiality obligations with respect to such Confidential Information no less onerous than those set forth in this Agreement) (each, a “Recipient”). For the purposes of this Article 8, the term “Disclosing Party” shall include each Party and its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors and consultants who are directed to disclose such Party’s or its Affiliate’s Confidential Information, and the term “Receiving Party” shall include each Party and its Affiliates. For clarity, all Program Know-How is deemed to be the Confidential Information of Arena and shall be deemed to have been disclosed by Arena to Eisai for purposes of Section 8.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge the practical difficulty of policing the use of information in the unaided memory of the Receiving Party or its Recipients, and as such each Party agrees that the Receiving Party shall not be liable for the use by any of its Recipients of specific Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that is retained in the unaided memory of such Recipient; provided, that (a) such Recipient is not aware that such Confidential Information is the confidential information of Disclosing Party at the time of such use; (b) the foregoing is not intended to grant, and shall not be deemed to grant, the Receiving Party, its Affiliates, or its Recipients (i) a right to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or (ii) a license under any Patents or other intellectual property right of the Disclosing Party; and (c) such Recipient has not intentionally memorized such Confidential Information for use outside this Agreement.
99
Confidential
8.3. Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 8.2, Confidential Information shall not include any Know-How, information or materials that, in each case as demonstrated by competent evidence:
(a) was already known to the Receiving Party or any of its Recipients, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure;
(b) was generally available to the public or was otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party;
(c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure by the Disclosing Party and other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party or any of its Recipients in breach of this Agreement;
(d) was subsequently lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party or any of its Recipients by a Person other than the Disclosing Party, and who, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party or such Recipient, did not directly or indirectly receive such information from the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates under an obligation of confidence; or
(e) was developed by the Receiving Party or any of its Recipients without use of or reference to any information or materials disclosed by the Disclosing Party.
Information specific to the use of certain compounds, methods, conditions or features shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions merely because such information is embraced by general disclosures in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party or its Recipients. In addition, a combination of information will not be deemed to fall within the foregoing exceptions, even if all of the components fall within an exception, unless the combination itself and its significance are in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party prior to the disclosures hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the act of using information in a clinical trial nor the filing of information with a governmental authority shall, for the purpose of this Article 8, in and of itself be deemed to place such information in the public domain.
8.4. Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and Arena may disclose and use Product Information, as expressly permitted by this Agreement or if and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary or useful in the following instances:
(a) the performance by the Receiving Party of its obligations or exercise of its rights as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that wherever reasonable and practicable in the circumstances the recipient of any such Confidential Information shall be subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information substantially similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the Receiving Party pursuant to this Article 8;
(b) filing or prosecuting Patents as permitted by this Agreement;
100
Confidential
(c) seeking, obtaining or maintaining any Regulatory Approval as permitted by this Agreement; provided, that the Receiving Party shall take reasonable measures to assure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information, to the extent such treatment is available;
(d) prosecuting or defending litigation with respect to a Party or its Affiliates, and (i) with respect to Arena, the Arena ex-Territory Distributors, and (ii) with respect to Eisai, Sub-distributors and Co-Promotion Partners, as permitted by this Agreement;
(e) complying with Applicable Laws;
(f) disclosure to Third Parties in connection with due diligence or similar investigations by or on behalf of a Third Party in connection with a potential marketing, distribution or supply agreement with, or license to, or collaboration with such Third Party (including as to Arena a potential Arena ex-Territory Distributor and as to Eisai a potential Sub-distributor) or a potential merger or acquisition by such Third Party, or in connection with performance of any such license, collaboration or merger agreement, and disclosure to potential Third Party investors in confidential financing documents, provided, in each case, that any such Third Party agrees to be bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use substantially similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the Receiving Party pursuant to this Article 8;
(g) with respect to Arena, disclosure of any Eisai Know-How as necessary or reasonable in connection with the use of such Eisai Know-How outside the Territory by Arena, its Affiliates and the Arena ex-Territory Distributors as agreed to by the Parties pursuant to Section 5.8; provided, that wherever reasonable and practicable in the circumstances the recipient of any such Confidential Information shall be subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information substantially similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the Receiving Party pursuant to this Article 8;
(h) with respect to Eisai, disclosure of any Program Know-How in connection with the exercise of its rights under Section 5.7(b); and
(i) with respect to Arena, disclosure of any Product Information to Arena ex-Territory Distributors to the extent reasonably necessary or useful for the development of Compound Products and Related Products for outside the Territory or the commercialization of Compound Products and Related Products outside the Territory; provided, that wherever reasonable and practicable in the circumstances the recipient of any such Confidential Information shall be subject to reasonable and customary obligations of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Receiving Party or a Recipient is required to make a disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 8.4(d) or Section 8.4(e) to comply with a subpoena or other legal order, it shall, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the Disclosing Party of such disclosure and give the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to quash such subpoena or order and to obtain a protective order requiring that the Confidential Information and documents that are the subject of such subpoena or order be held in confidence by such court or agency or, if disclosed, be used
101
Confidential
only for the purposes for which such subpoena or order was issued; and provided, further, that if such subpoena or order is not quashed or a protective order is not obtained, the Confidential Information disclosed in response to such subpoena or order shall be limited to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed in response to such subpoena or order and shall still be subject to the restrictions on use set forth in this Article 8.
8.5. Confidentiality of this Agreement and its Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8, each Party agrees not to disclose to any Third Party the existence of this Agreement or the terms and conditions of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that each Party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement that are not otherwise made public as contemplated by Section 8.6 as permitted under Section 8.4.
8.6. Public Announcements.
(a) As soon as practicable following the 2nd Amendment Effective Date, each Party shall issue a mutually agreed to press release announcing the entry into this Agreement. Except as required by Applicable Laws (including disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (including disclosure requirements of a Party’s Affiliate), the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party or any of its Affiliates are traded), neither Party shall make any other public announcement concerning this Agreement or the subject matter hereof without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed; provided, that it shall not be unreasonable for a Party to withhold consent with respect to any public announcement containing any of such Party’s Confidential Information. In the event of a public announcement required under Applicable Laws, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, the Party making such announcement shall provide the other Party with a copy of the proposed text of such announcement sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release to afford such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text.
(b) The Parties shall coordinate in advance with each other in connection with the filing of this Agreement (including, if applicable, redaction of certain provisions of this Agreement) with the SEC or any other governmental agency, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by a Party or any of its Affiliates are traded, and each Party shall use reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for the terms reasonably requested by the other Party to be redacted; provided, that each Party shall ultimately retain control over what information to disclose to the SEC or any other governmental agency, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange, as the case may be, and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent a Party from taking all actions it reasonably considers necessary to comply with Applicable Laws with respect to any such filings or disclosures; and provided, further, that the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to file redacted versions with any governing bodies that are consistent with redacted versions previously filed with any other governing bodies. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, neither Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be obligated to consult with or obtain approval from the other Party with respect to any filings to the SEC, the NASDAQ stock exchange or any other stock exchange or governmental agency.
102
Confidential
8.7. Use of Name. Neither Party shall use the name, insignia, symbol, Trademark, trade name or logotype of the other Party (or any abbreviation or adaptation thereof) in any publication, press release or marketing and promotional material or other form of publicity without the prior written approval of such other Party in each instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, or except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. The restrictions imposed by this Section 8.7 shall not prohibit either Party from making any disclosure (a) identifying the other Party as a counterparty to this Agreement to its investors, (b) that is required by Applicable Laws or the requirements of a national securities exchange or another similar regulatory body (provided, that any such disclosure shall be governed by this Article 8), (c) that is necessary for the performance by Eisai or Arena of its obligations or exercise of its rights as contemplated by this Agreement or (d) with respect to which written consent has previously been obtained. Further, the restrictions imposed on each Party under this Section 8.7 are not intended, and shall not be construed, to prohibit a Party from identifying the other Party in its internal business communications; provided, that any Confidential Information in such communications remains subject to this Article 8.
8.8. Publication of the Product Information. At least 30 days prior to publicly presenting or submitting for written or oral publication a manuscript, abstract or the like that includes information relating to any Compound or any Compound Product that has not been previously published, each Party shall provide to the other Party a draft copy thereof for its review (unless such Party is required by Applicable Laws to publish such information sooner, in which case such Party shall provide such draft copy to the other Party as much in advance of such publication as possible). In addition, if the publishing Party materially changes the version of the manuscript, abstract or the like provided to the other Party for review, the publishing Party shall provide the other Party with such updated version and the other Party shall have 15 days to review and comment on such updated version. The publishing Party shall consider in good faith any comments provided by the other Party during such 30-day (or 15-day, if applicable) period. In addition, the publishing Party shall, at the other Party’s reasonable request, (a) remove therefrom any Confidential Information of such other Party or (b) withhold material from submission for publication or presentation for an additional 60 days after any information is first provided to the other Party for review to allow for the filing of a patent application or the taking of such measures to establish and preserve proprietary rights in such information in the material being submitted for publication or presentation. The contribution of each Party shall be noted in all publications or presentations by acknowledgment or co-authorship, whichever is appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.8 shall not apply to any publications prepared or submitted for publication no later than 30 days after the Effective Date.
8.9. Stand-Still.
(a) Certain Restrictions on Eisai. During the Term and, unless this Agreement is terminated by Eisai pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(ii) or 12.2(a)(iii), for two years thereafter (the “Stand-Still Period”), except with the written consent of Arena or Arena US (which may be withheld by Arena or Arena US at the sole discretion of its board of directors) or by way of stock dividends or other distributions made to Arena’s or any of its Affiliates’ stockholders generally, neither Eisai nor any of its Affiliates shall, in any manner, directly or indirectly: (i) make, effect, initiate, cause or participate in (A) any acquisition of beneficial

(b) Exception to Standstill Provisions.
(i) The provisions of Section 8.9(a) shall cease to apply: (A) if Arena or any Affiliate of Arena publicly announces or otherwise engages in a process designed to solicit offers relating to transactions that, if consummated, would result in (1) a Third Party acquiring beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding securities of Arena or such Affiliate, as applicable, immediately after such transaction, (2) a sale of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Arena and all its Affiliates, or (3) a merger, consolidation or any similar extraordinary transaction involving Arena or any Affiliate of Arena pursuant to which all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Arena and all its Affiliates would, after the closing of such transaction, be under the control of a Person that did not, prior to such transaction, control Arena or any of its Affiliates, in each case ((1), (2) and (3)) from the time of such announcement or the commencement of such process and continuing until such time, if any, as the board of directors of Arena or the applicable Affiliate publicly announces that such process has terminated; or (B) if the board of directors of Arena or any Affiliate of Arena adopts a plan of liquidation or dissolution.
(ii) Notwithstanding Section 8.9(a), (A) in the event a Third Party makes a bona fide public offer or proposal that, if consummated, would result in such Third Party, together with its affiliates and other members of any group of which such Third Party is a member, beneficially owning 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Arena or any Affiliate of Arena or all or substantially all of the assets of Arena or any Affiliate of Arena, from the time such offer or proposal is made public and continuing until such offer or proposal expires or is

Further, nothing herein shall prevent Eisai or any of its Affiliates from acquiring securities of another pharmaceutical or biotechnology company or other Person that beneficially owns any securities of Arena or any Affiliate of Arena; provided, that such Person beneficially does not own, at the time of the consummation of such acquisition of securities by Eisai or any of its Affiliates, more than 10% of any class of outstanding securities of Arena or any Affiliate of Arena.
Article 9.
PATENT PROSECUTION AND ENFORCEMENT
9.1. Ownership of Intellectual Property.
(a) Arena Intellectual Property Rights. Arena and its Affiliates have, and shall retain, all right, title and interest in and to the Arena Know-How and Arena Patents and any other intellectual property rights owned by Arena or its Affiliates as of the Effective Date or developed by Arena or its Affiliates during the Term.
(b) Eisai Intellectual Property Rights. Eisai and its Affiliates have, and shall retain, all right, title and interest in and to the Eisai Know-How and any other intellectual property rights owned by Eisai or its Affiliates as of the Effective Date or developed by Eisai or its Affiliates during the Term, excluding any Program Know-How or Program Patents.
(c) Program Intellectual Property Rights. Arena shall have and own the entire right, title and interest in and to all Program Know-How and Program Patents and shall have and retain the right to use, disclose and exploit the Program Know-How and Program Patents for any and all purposes, including the right to disclose the Program Know-How to its Affiliates and Arena ex-Territory Distributors and to use and grant to its Affiliates and Arena ex-
105
Confidential
Territory Distributors the right to use the Program Know-How for developing and commercializing Compound Products and Related Products outside the Territory, subject only to the license rights therein granted by Arena to Eisai under Sections 3.5(d), 5.7(a) and 5.7(b). Each Party shall promptly disclose to the other Party in writing the discovery, identification, conception, reduction to practice or other making of any Program Know-How or Program Patents. Eisai shall, and hereby does, assign, and shall cause its Affiliates to so assign, to Arena or an Affiliate of Arena designated by Arena in writing, without additional compensation, all its right, title and interest in and to the Program Know-How and Program Patents as well as any intellectual property rights with respect thereto to fully effect the ownership by Arena provided for in this Section 9.1(c). Eisai and its Affiliates shall execute all documents and take all actions reasonably requested by Arena to fully effect the ownership by Arena provided for in this Section 9.1(c).
(d) If applicable, each Party shall cause all subcontractors of such Party to assign all of their right, title and interest in and to the Program Know-How and Program Patents as well as any intellectual property rights with respect thereto, to Arena or its designee. To the extent a Party desires to utilize a subcontractor that will not agree to such an assignment, such Party may notify the other Party and subject to such other Party’s prior written consent, the first Party may instead obtain a non-exclusive license to Program Know-How and Program Patents, as well as any intellectual property rights with respect thereto (collectively, the “Subject IP”), which, in the case of Eisai, Eisai hereby irrevocably and non-exclusively sublicenses to Arena or its designee, royalty free. Any consent so provided pursuant to this provision is subject to: (A) such non-exclusive license to the Subject IP, being irrevocable and royalty-free, with the right to further sublicense through multiple tiers, and (B) the license grant provision in the agreement between the Party and the subcontractor explicitly surviving the expiration or termination of such agreement.

In such case, at Eisai’s sole discretion, upon written notice to Arena, Eisai may elect to continue prosecution or maintenance of any such Program Patent, and Arena shall take such actions, at Arena’s expense, as may be reasonably necessary to enable Eisai to do so. The reasonable and documented costs and expenses of preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Program Patents (A) in the Territory, shall be shared equally by the Parties and (B) in any country outside the Territory, shall be borne 80% by Arena and 20% by Eisai.

Eisai, its Affiliates and their respective licensees, distributors and subcontractors) with respect to any development of the Compound, any Related Compound, Compound Products or Related Products prior to the Effective Date, but excluding Product Liability Claims; (b) the actual or alleged negligence or willful misconduct of Arena, any of its Affiliates or any Arena ex-Territory Distributor, licensee, distributor or other subcontractor (excluding in all cases Eisai, its Affiliates and their respective licensees, distributors and subcontractors) with respect to the development, manufacture, use, handling, storage, sale or other exploitation of the Compound, any Related Compound, Compound Product or Related Product in any jurisdiction or country outside the Territory, at any time during the Term (but excluding, for clarity, all activities under this Agreement except to the extent otherwise subject to an indemnification obligation of Arena under subsections (d)-(g) under this Section), but excluding Product Liability Claims; (c) the regulatory activities, development, manufacture, use, handling, storage, sale or other exploitation of any Compound, Related Compound, Compound Product, Related Product or Terminated Product by Arena, any of its Affiliates, any Arena ex-Territory Distributor or any other subcontractor, licensee, distributor or collaborator of Arena or any of its Affiliates (i) after the Term, (ii) in any Terminated Country after this Agreement has been terminated with respect to such country, or (iii) with respect to any Terminated Product, after the termination of this Agreement with respect to such Terminated Product; (d) the actual or alleged (i) negligence or willful misconduct of or (ii) violation of Applicable Laws by, in each case ((i) and (ii)), Arena or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Arena ex-Territory Distributor or other subcontractors in performing any activity contemplated by this Agreement, but excluding Product Liability Claims; (e) any actual or alleged breach by Arena (or any of its Affiliates or Arena ex-Territory Distributors) of this Agreement, the Quality Agreement or the PV Agreement, but excluding Product Liability Claims; (f) any infringement or alleged infringement of the intellectual property rights of a Third Party arising from or based on the manufacturing by or on behalf of Arena of any Product or other Compound Product or Related Product; or (g) any alleged or actual infringement arising from, based on or occurring as a result of the use by Eisai in accordance with the terms hereof of any Product Trademark selected by Arena pursuant to Section 9.9(a) to which Eisai had reasonably objected; except that the foregoing indemnification obligations shall not apply to the extent any such Third Party Claim is based on or result from matters within the scope of the indemnification obligations of Eisai set forth in Section 11.1, as to which Third Party Claim each Party shall indemnify the other Party to the extent of its liability with respect to the Losses applicable to such Third Party Claim.
11.3. Procedure.
(a) A Party that intends to exercise its rights to defense, indemnity or hold harmless under this Article 11 (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Third Party Claim in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to exercise such rights. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article 11 if and to the extent the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnitor with reasonable assistance, at the Indemnitor’s expense, in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall have the right to assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice. The Indemnitee may participate in and monitor such
122
Confidential
defense with counsel of its choice, which shall be at its own expense. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money by the Indemnitor and does not involve any admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of any Arena Indemnitees or Eisai Indemnitees, as applicable. So long as the Indemnitor is defending the Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor.
(b) The assumption of a defense by the Indemnitor shall not be deemed an admission that the Indemnitor has an obligation to defend, indemnify or hold harmless an Arena Indemnitee or Eisai Indemnitee, as applicable, from and against any Loss from a Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitor assumes and conducts the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, and if it is ultimately determined pursuant to Section 12.7 that the Indemnitor was not obligated to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless an Arena Indemnitee or Eisai Indemnitee, as applicable, from and against any Loss from such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall reimburse the Indemnitor for any and all reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and all other Losses incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with such Third Party Claim, and if such determination is the result of an arbitration proceeding initiated by the Indemnitor pursuant to Section 12.7, then the Indemnitee also shall reimburse the Indemnitor for all of the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of arbitration) incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with such arbitration proceeding.
(c) If the Indemnitor does not assume and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided above, (i) the Indemnitee may defend against such Third Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed and (ii) if it is ultimately determined pursuant to Section 12.7 that the Indemnitor was obligated to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless an Arena Indemnitee or Eisai Indemnitee, as applicable, from and against any Loss from such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnitee for any and all reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and all other Losses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Third Party Claim, and if such determination is the result of an arbitration proceeding initiated by the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12.7, then the Indemnitor also shall reimburse the Indemnitee for all of the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of arbitration) incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such arbitration proceeding.
11.4. Product Liability Claims.
(a) Product Liability Losses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.4(j), each Party shall bear 50% of all Product Liability Losses from all Product Liability Claims.

(c) Sole Product Liability Claims. Subject to Section 11.4(f), with respect to any Sole Product Liability Claim, the Party against whose Party Indemnitees such Sole Product Liability Claim is brought shall be the Controlling Party and shall assume and conduct the defense of such Sole Product Liability Claim with Lead Counsel of its choosing. The counsel fees and all other expenses of litigation of the Controlling Party in conducting such defense shall be borne solely by the Controlling Party. The Non-Controlling Party may participate in and monitor such defense with Shadow Counsel appointed by the Non-Controlling Party, and the attorneys’ fees and costs for such Shadow Counsel shall be borne solely by the Non-Controlling Party.

Subject to clause (ii) below, Arena shall appoint the Lead Counsel to represent all Party Indemnitees for such Joint Defense Matters, subject to Eisai’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Eisai agrees to waive any conflict so that such Lead Counsel may represent Arena in individual matters (other than cases adverse to Eisai or its Affiliates).
(ii) Eisai shall have the right at any time to appoint Alternate Lead Counsel to defend Eisai on those Joint Defense Matters relating to Eisai Indemnitees in such Joint Manufacturing Defect Claim. If Eisai appoints Alternate Lead Counsel, each Party shall control the Joint Defense Matters (including strategic decisions) affecting such Party.
(1) If Eisai appoints Alternate Lead Counsel, (A) Eisai shall solely bear all fees and expenses of such Alternate Lead Counsel and all other costs and expenses with respect to Joint Defense Matters relating to Eisai Indemnitees, (B) from and after the date of the appointment of such Alternate Lead Counsel, Arena shall solely bear all fees and expenses of Lead Counsel and all other costs and expenses with respect to Joint Defense Matters relating to Arena Indemnitees and (C) Eisai shall reimburse Arena in an amount equal to [...***...]% of all Joint Defense Costs with respect to such Joint Manufacturing Defect Claim incurred prior to the date of the appointment of such Alternate Lead Counsel.

Subject to clause (ii) below, Eisai shall appoint the Lead Counsel to represent all Party Indemnitees for such Joint Defense Matters, subject to Arena’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Arena agrees to waive any conflict so that such Lead Counsel may represent Eisai in individual matters (other than cases adverse to Arena or its Affiliates).
(ii) Arena shall have the right at any time to appoint Alternate Lead Counsel to defend Arena on those Joint Defense Matters relating to Arena Indemnitees in such Joint Product Liability Claim. If Arena appoints Alternate Lead Counsel, each Party shall control the Joint Defense Matters (including strategic decisions) affecting such Party.
(1) If Arena appoints Alternate Lead Counsel, (A) Arena shall solely bear all fees and expenses of such Alternate Lead Counsel and all other costs and expenses with respect to Joint Defense Matters relating to Arena Indemnitees, (B) from and after the date of the appointment of such Alternate Lead Counsel, Eisai shall solely bear all fees and expenses of Lead Counsel and all other costs and expenses with respect to Joint Defense Matters relating to Eisai Indemnitees and (C) Arena shall reimburse Eisai in an amount equal to [...***...]% of all Joint Defense Costs with respect to such Joint Product Liability Claim incurred prior to the date of the appointment of such Alternate Lead Counsel.

(f) Consolidation. In the event that one or more separate Product Liability Claims (at least one of which is not a Joint Manufacturing Defect Claim) are consolidated for discovery, such consolidated Product Liability Claims shall be deemed a Joint Product Liability Claim that is not a Joint Manufacturing Defect Claim and shall be governed by Section 11.4(e).
(g) General Procedures. With respect to each Product Liability Claim, regardless of which Party is the Controlling Party, the Parties shall cooperate and consult fully with each other in strategizing, preparing, presenting and conducting the defense of each Product Liability Claim and to help drive efficiencies in defense costs. The Parties shall seek in good faith to agree on all matters regarding such Product Liability Claim. In case such agreement cannot be reached within an appropriate time period (recognizing that certain decisions with respect to strategizing, preparing, presenting and conducting the defense of such Product Liability Claim may be time sensitive), (i) the Controlling Party shall have the final decision with respect to (A) all matters, in the case of a Sole Product Liability Claim, or (B) Joint Defense Matters, in the case of Joint Product Liability Claims, and (ii) each Party shall have the final decision with respect to Sole Defense Matters with respect to such Party. The Non-Controlling Party shall provide the Controlling Party with reasonable assistance in connection with the defense of all Product Liability Claims.

(h) Expenses. Within 15 days after the end of each Calendar Quarter, each Party shall provide a written report to the other Party setting forth in reasonable detail the Joint Defense Costs and Product Liability Losses from each Product Liability Claim incurred by such Party during such Calendar Quarter.

No such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the waiving Party.
