Each Research Plan will also specify whether or not any ARES TRADING Know-How, or subject matter covered by any ARES TRADING Patents, will be included in such Research Program. From time to time during the conduct of each Research Program, the Parties shall prepare, for the JSC’s review and approval, updates and amendments, as appropriate, to the then-current Research Plan for such Research Program. Once approved by the JSC, such revised Research Plan shall replace the prior Research Plan. If the terms of any Research Plan contradict, or create inconsistencies or ambiguities with, the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
Research Plans. The Research Collaboration activities will be carried out by Anacor and GSK pursuant to a research operating plan for each Project (as to each Project, the "Research Plan"), which will outline anticipated discovery, research, and pre-clinical and clinical development activities to be conducted by each Party during the subsequent twelve (12) months in connection with the each of the Projects. The Research Plan for each of the Projects will be finalized and presented to the JRC for review, comment and approval within thirty (30) Business Days after the formation of the JRC or, in the case of Project 4, within thirty (30) Business Days after the selection of the Designated Target, if later. From time to time during the Research Collaboration Term (but no less frequently than once per year), Anacor shall update the Research Plans (or applicable portions thereof) for Project 2, Project 3 and Project 4, and shall submit such updated Research Plans to the JRC for review, comment, and approval. Similarly, from time to time during the Research Collaboration Term (but no less frequently than once per year), Anacor and GSK shall jointly update the Research Plan for Project 1 (or applicable portion thereof) and shall submit such updated Research Plan to the JRC for review, comment and approval. Once approved by the JRC, the updated Research Plan for each Project shall replace the Research Plan for such Project previously in effect. The Research Plans will be reviewed as necessary at each meeting of the JRC, and at any other time upon the request of either Party, and may be modified by the JRC, as appropriate, to reflect material scientific or commercial developments. In the event of any inconsistency between a Research Plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail and any such inconsistent portion of such Research Plan is hereby expressly rejected.
Research Plans. Within [**] after the Effective Date, the JRC shall prepare a research plan and budget for research activities for Program 1 and Program 2 (the “Initial Research Plans”). The Initial Research Plans shall include the Selected Monoclonal Antibodies and General Monoclonal Antibodies for Program 1 and Program 2 previously generated by Merus. For a period of [**] after receipt of the Initial Research Plans, Incyte shall [**] such Selected Monoclonal Antibodies [**] and [**] Selected Monoclonal Antibodies which thereafter shall be the Selected Monoclonal Antibodies for Program 1 or Program 2, as applicable. Within [**] after designation of each Target Pair hereunder (other than the Program 1 Target Pair and Program 2 Target Pair), the JRC shall prepare a research plan and budget for research activities related to such Target Pair and the associated Bi-Specific Constructs through to Candidate Nomination (together with the Initial Research Plans, the “Research Plans”) for review and approval by the JSC. For each such Program, Incyte shall have the right, in its discretion, to select the Selected Monoclonal Antibodies that will be used to generate the Target Pair Biclonics Matrix. The Research Plans shall (i) assign responsibilities to Merus including for generating Antibodies and Bi-Specific Constructs to be incorporated within each of the Licensed Products and conducting in vitro and in vivo pharmacology on such Bi-Specific Constructs and providing resulting materials and information to Incyte and (ii) include a budget, timeline, milestones and desired pre-clinical target characteristics for research and Development activities through to Candidate Nomination. The intent of each Research Plan is to set forth the activities necessary to achieve Candidate Nomination with respect to a given Program. The duration of each Research Plan shall be less than or equal to [**] unless otherwise determined by the JRC; provided that Merus shall not be obligated to create a Target Pair Biclonics Matrix for more than (A) [**] Target Pairs per year during Calendar Years [**] or (B) [**] Target Pairs per Calendar Year [**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request. An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.
