ASSIGNMENT / LICENSES
2.1 Assignments and Licenses to Takeda under ITI Technology.
(a) Assignments to Takeda.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ITI hereby assigns to Takeda all of its right, title and interest in and to each ITI Patent existing as of the Effective Date that is solely owned by ITI and that claims ITI-214 or a Variant thereof (the “Sole Assigned Patents”). The Sole Assigned Patents as of the Effective Date are listed on Exhibit D. Upon ITI’s receipt of the upfront and research funding payment from Takeda under Section 8.1, ITI shall execute and deliver to Takeda all documents necessary to perfect the assignment of the Sole Assigned Patents to Takeda. As of the Effective Date, ITI is preparing a patent application directed to a [***], and upon filing such patent application, and any other ITI Patent or Joint Patent that claims ITI-214 or a Variant thereof, ITI shall assign to Takeda all of its right, title and interest in and to each such patent application (including all foreign equivalents thereof).
Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the xxxx “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
12.
Following such assignment, the applicable Patents shall be considered Sole Assigned Patents, if previously ITI Patents, or “Joint Assigned Patents” if previously Joint Patents, and the Sole Assigned Patents and Joint Assigned Patents shall be collectively referred to as the “Assigned Patents”. Takeda shall be responsible, at its expense, for recording all such assignments, and ITI shall reasonably cooperate, at ITI’s expense, with Takeda’s efforts to do so. All such recordations shall accurately reflect all of ITI’s rights with respect to such Assigned Patents.
(ii) If Takeda notifies ITI in writing during the course of the Research Program, or pursuant to Section 2.5(b), that Takeda has selected a Back-Up Compound as a candidate for Development in any country of the Territory (each, a “Selected Compound”), then ITI shall promptly assign to Takeda all of its right, title and interest in and to each then-existing ITI Patent solely owned by ITI and/or its Affiliates and each Joint Patent, each as specified in Takeda’s notice, that claims the Selected Compound or a Variant thereof. Following such assignment, the applicable Patents shall be considered Sole Assigned Patents, if previously ITI Patents, or Joint Assigned Patents if previously Joint Patents. ITI shall execute and deliver to Takeda all documents necessary to perfect the assignment of such Assigned Patents to Takeda within a reasonable period of time after such assignment. Takeda shall be responsible, at its expense, for recording all such assignments, and ITI shall reasonably cooperate, at Takeda’s expense, with Takeda’s efforts to do so. All such recordations shall accurately reflect all of ITI’s rights with respect to the Assigned Patents.
(iii) Notwithstanding the assignment described in this Section 2.1(a), the Assigned Patents shall be included in and treated as a part of the ITI Patents or Joint Patents under this Agreement, as applicable, and such assignment shall in no way alter Takeda’s royalty obligations to ITI under Article 8 or ITI’s rights under Sections 9.3(a) and 9.8 to prepare, file, prosecute, maintain and defend the Sole Assigned Patents as ITI Patents. Except as provided in the last sentence of Section 9.1: (A) Takeda shall not practice the Assigned Patents outside of the scope of the licenses granted to Takeda in Section 2.1(b), (B) Takeda shall have the right to grant licenses under the Assigned Patents only in accordance with its sublicensing rights under Section 2.1(d), (C) Takeda shall not encumber the Assigned Patents or assign the Assigned Patents to any Affiliate or Third Party, and (D) Takeda shall not practice the Assigned Patents beyond the scope of the uses permitted under the licenses granted in Section 2.1(b).
(iv) For any Assigned Patents that cease to claim the applicable Compounds (ITI-214 or a Selected Compound) at any time during the Term by virtue of an amendment of the claims, Takeda shall assign, and hereby does assign effective as of the date that (x) ITI notifies Takeda in writing that such Patent should no longer be an Assigned Patent and (y) Takeda approves such assignment in writing (such approval not to be withheld by Takeda without cause; and provided that Takeda’s failure to respond within [***] ([***]) [***] of receipt of ITI’s notice shall be deemed an approval), to ITI Takeda’s entire right, title and interest in and to each such Sole Assigned Patent, and one-half of its right, title and interest in and to each such Joint Assigned Patent, and Takeda appoints, effective as of the date of such approval by Takeda, ITI as its attorney in fact solely to make such re-assignments and authorizes ITI to make such re-assignments. In each case, Takeda shall execute and deliver to ITI a deed(s) of such assignment, in a mutually agreeable form, within [***] ([***]) [***] after the date of approval. ITI shall be responsible for recording all such assignments, and Takeda and its
Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the xxxx “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
13.
successors and assigns shall (A) reasonably cooperate with ITI’s efforts to do so, including satisfying the assignment and recording requirements of relevant patent offices, and (B) reimburse ITI for all reasonable expenses incurred by ITI in connection with this Section 2.1(a)(iv). In addition, Takeda hereby grants ITI an exclusive, fully sublicensable license under its interest in each such Sole Assigned Patent and a non-exclusive, fully sublicensable license under its interest in each such Joint Assigned Patent during the period from the date such Patent ceased to claim the applicable Compound until such Patent is actually re-assigned to ITI.
(b) Licenses to Takeda. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ITI hereby grants Takeda an exclusive (even as to ITI except as provided in Section 2.1(c) below), royalty-bearing license, with the right to sublicense solely as provided in Section 2.1(d), under the ITI Technology (including the Assigned Patents until such Assigned Patents are assigned to Takeda), to research, Develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise Manufacture or Commercialize Compounds and Products in the Field in the Territory.
(c) ITI Retained Rights. Notwithstanding the rights assigned or granted to Takeda in Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) and without limiting the generality of Section 2.4, ITI retains the following: (i) the right to practice the ITI Technology in the Territory to exercise its rights or to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, including the Manufacturing, Development and co-promotion of Compounds and Products; and (ii) the right to practice and license the ITI Technology (including the Assigned Patents licensed to ITI under Section 2.2(b)) only outside the scope of the license granted to Takeda in Section 2.1(b). For clarity, each Party may use and provide to Third Parties Compound(s) as a Reagent but only in its respective field (in the case of Takeda, in the Field, and in the case of ITI, outside the Field), including the research, development, manufacture and sale of Products in such respective field as permitted under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, ITI shall not transfer, provide or sell Compounds to a Third Party as a Reagent except in connection with the research, development, manufacture or sale of an animal health or diagnostic product. As used herein, “Reagent” means a Compound in pure form and not packaged or formulated for use as a diagnostic or therapeutic product.
(d) License/Sublicense Rights.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Takeda shall have the right to grant a license under the Assigned Patents, and a sublicense of the license granted in Section 2.1(b), to its Affiliates or Third Parties. Takeda shall remain primarily responsible for all of its licensees’ and sublicensees’ activities and any and all failures by its licensees and sublicensees to comply with the applicable terms of this Agreement.
(ii) Takeda shall, within [***] ([***]) [***] after granting any license or sublicense of the right to Commercialize the Products under Section 2.1(b) above, notify ITI of the grant of such license or sublicense, summarizing the license scope and territory (each agreement granting such license or sublicense, a “Takeda Sublicense Agreement”). Each Takeda Sublicense Agreement shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall provide that the sublicensee shall be bound by and subject to all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as Takeda is

14.
bound thereby. Takeda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to include provisions in each Takeda Sublicense Agreement providing that Takeda and ITI shall have the same rights, ownership and/or licenses to all inventions and Information (including all data, know-how, inventions, Regulatory Materials and Regulatory Approvals) generated by such sublicensee to the same extent as if such invention or Information was generated by Takeda, which rights, ownership and/or licenses shall survive the termination of the Takeda Sublicense Agreement. If, despite using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, Takeda is not able to include such provisions in any Takeda Sublicense Agreement, Takeda shall be released from further obligation under the preceding sentence with respect to such Sublicense Agreement, but prior to Takeda’s execution of such agreement, Takeda will use good faith efforts to discuss with ITI whether there is a solution reasonably acceptable to both Parties.
(e) Future Third Party Licenses. The ITI Technology licensed to Takeda in Section 2.1(b) will include Patents or Information licensed to ITI by a Third Party after the Effective Date only if the following procedure is complied with:
(i) ITI discloses to Takeda for review, reasonably in advance of ITI’s anticipated entry into the applicable agreement between ITI and such Third Party, the substantive terms of such license agreement (which ITI hereby covenants to do), at least to the extent Takeda can reasonably understand the contents of the applicable Patents and Information, the scope of the license and the financial terms thereof; provided that upon Takeda’s reasonable request, Takeda may participate in ITI’s negotiation with the Third Party, provided that ITI shall have the sole right to agree to any terms with such Third Party (which terms will bind Takeda only if agreed by Takeda in accordance with sub-section (ii) below), or Takeda may negotiate a direct license with the Third Party; and
(ii) Takeda provides ITI with written notice, prior to ITI’s entry into such license agreement, in which (A) Takeda assumes all payment obligations under such license agreement to the extent arising out of the use, Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Compound or Product by or on behalf of Takeda, as well as all other obligations of such license agreement that are applicable to sublicensees, and (B) Takeda acknowledges in writing that its sublicense under such license agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of such license agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if only such Third Party’s Patents cover a particular Product in a country, and the remaining ITI Patents and the Joint Patents do not cover such Product in such country, then the royalty term under Section 8.5(b)(i) shall not be extended on account of such Third Party’s Patents.
Any applicable Patents and Information for which the above conditions are not met shall be deemed “Excluded Patents” and “Excluded Information,” respectively.
(f) Additional Patents. The Parties acknowledge that as of the Effective Date, ITI has an exclusive license under the Patents set forth on Exhibit C-2 and that such Patents are not included in the ITI Patents. ITI covenants that during the Term, ITI shall not grant any Third Party a license under such Patents to research, Develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise Manufacture or Commercialize Compounds and Products in the Field in the Territory. If Takeda determines that a license under any of such

15.
Patents would be necessary for Takeda to practice the licenses granted to Takeda in Section 2.1(b), then Takeda shall notify ITI, and ITI shall xxxxx Xxxxxx a sublicense under its license to the applicable Patents, and such sublicense would be considered a future Third Party license subject to the terms of Section 2.1(e).
2.2 Licenses to ITI.
(a) License to ITI under Takeda Technology. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Takeda hereby grants to ITI a non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free license, without the right to grant sublicenses (except to Affiliates and subcontractors upon written notice to Takeda, as permitted under Section 4.9), under the Takeda Technology (except for the Takeda Technology licensed by a Third Party) during the Term, for the sole purpose of conducting any and all activities assigned to ITI under the Research Plan, the Development Plan or the Commercialization Plans.
(b) License to ITI under Assigned Patents. Takeda hereby grants to ITI a fully-paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, under the Assigned Patents, for any and all purposes outside the scope of the license granted to Takeda under Section 2.1(b). Such license shall be exclusive for the Sole Assigned Patents and non-exclusive for the Joint Assigned Patents.
2.3 Negative Covenant. Takeda covenants that it will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates or sublicensees to, use or practice any ITI Technology outside the scope of the license granted to it under Section 2.1(b). ITI covenants that it will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates or sublicensees to, use or practice any Takeda Technology outside the scope of the license granted to it under Section 2.2.
2.4 No Implied Licenses. Except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party shall be deemed by estoppel or implication to have granted the other Party any license or other right to any intellectual property of such Party.
2.5 Exclusivity.
(a) [***] hereby covenants that [***] (i) [***]; and (ii) [***].
(b) [***].
(c) In the event of any Change of Control of ITI (or successor entity thereto, applying the definition of Change of Control to such successor in place of ITI), Section 2.5(a) and (b) shall not apply or otherwise restrict the activities of the Acquiror of ITI or its Affiliates (except for ITI to the extent ITI survives such acquisition as a separate entity) with respect to any product owned or controlled by such Acquiror or its Affiliates (other than ITI) prior to or as of the date of such Change of Control or thereafter if such product does not use any ITI Know-How or is not claimed by any ITI Patent.
(d) If Takeda, during the Term, acquires or is acquired by a Third Party, and such transaction would result in Takeda breaching the terms of Section 2.5(a), then Takeda shall

(viii) resolve disputes arising from the JRC or JPC; and
(ix) perform such other functions as appropriate to further the purposes of this Agreement, as expressly set forth in this Agreement or as determined by the Parties in writing.
The JSC shall have only the powers expressly assigned to it in this Section 3.2 and elsewhere in this Agreement, and shall have no power to amend, modify, or waive compliance with this Agreement. For clarity, the JSC shall not have the power to make any tactical or day-to-day operational decisions with respect to either Party’s activities under this Agreement, and each Party shall have the right to make such decisions with respect to its own activities, reasonably and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) Members. Each Party shall initially appoint [***] ([***]) [***] to the JSC, each of whom will be an officer or employee of the applicable Party having sufficient seniority within such Party to make decisions arising within the scope of the JSC’s responsibilities. The JSC may change its size from time to time by mutual consent of its members, and each Party may replace its representatives at any time upon written notice to the other Party. The JSC shall have a chairperson, who shall be selected alternately, on an annual basis, by ITI or Takeda. The initial chairperson shall be selected by ITI. The role of the chairperson shall be to convene and preside at the meetings of the JSC and to ensure the preparation of meeting minutes, but the chairperson shall have no additional powers or rights beyond those held by other JSC representatives.
(c) Meetings. The JSC shall meet at least [***] ([***]) [***] per calendar quarter until the First Commercial Sale of the Product in the U.S. and at least [***] ([***]) [***] per calendar year thereafter, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to a different frequency for such meetings.

18.
such meeting. The JSC may meet in person, by videoconference or by teleconference, provided however, during the Research Term at least [***] ([***]) [***] per calendar year shall be in person unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to waive such requirement in lieu of a videoconference or teleconference. In-person JSC meetings shall be held at locations in the U.S. alternately selected by ITI and by Takeda. Each Party shall bear the expense of its respective JSC members’ participation in JSC meetings. Meetings of the JSC shall be effective only if at least [***] ([***]) [***] of each Party is present or participating in such meeting. The chairperson of the JSC shall be responsible for preparing reasonably detailed written minutes of all JSC meetings that reflect, without limitation, all material decisions made at such meetings. The JSC chairperson shall send draft meeting minutes to each member of the JSC for review and approval within [***] ([***]) [***] after each JSC meeting. Such minutes shall be deemed approved unless one or more members of the JSC objects to the accuracy of such minutes within [***] ([***]) [***] of receipt.
(d) Decision Making. The JSC shall act by consensus. The representatives from each Party will have, collectively, one (1) vote on behalf of that Party. The JSC shall strive to seek consensus in its actions and decision making process. If after reasonable discussion and good faith consideration of each Party’s view on a particular matter before the JSC, the JSC is still unable after a period of [***] ([***]) [***] to reach a unanimous decision on such matter, then either Party may refer such matter to the Parties’ Executive Officers for attempted resolution by good faith resolution within [***] ([***]) [***] after such matter has been referred to the Executive Officers; provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the purpose of the JSC is to facilitate the efficient Development of Products primarily for the U.S. and (ii) if either Party reasonably believes and provides such belief that such [***] ([***]) [***] or [***] ([***]) [***] delay would hinder or delay any Development activities under the Development Plan or that have been committed to a Regulatory Authority by a particular date, then the Parties shall reduce such time periods as reasonably necessary to prevent such hindrance or delay. If the Executive Officers are not able to resolve such matter within such [***] ([***]) [***] period or the reduced period, then the Takeda Executive Officer shall have the right to decide such matter; provided, however, that:
(i) no amendment to the Research Plan that materially changes the nature or scope of each item or task assigned to ITI under Figure 1 of the Initial Research Plan, or three (3) year time period of the Research Term, may be adopted or approved without the prior written consent of ITI, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and
(ii) with respect to the content of the Development Plan, the Takeda Executive Officer shall not make any determination that would materially change the nature or scope of ITI’s responsibilities explicitly assigned to ITI as provided thereunder without ITI’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to disputes arising from the JPC (as defined in Section 3.4) and referred to the JSC for resolution, the JSC’s decision will be non-binding and advisory only, and will not be subject to escalation to the Executive Officers. All disputes with respect to matters under the purview of the JPC shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of Article 9 and, if necessary, Section 14.3.

(d) Clarifications.
(i) Only if a milestone event for [***] or for [***], as described under sub-section (b) or (c) above, is achieved for a given Indication and Takeda has not yet made a milestone payment for a preceding milestone for the same Indication, the preceding milestone event is deemed achieved, and the corresponding milestone payment is due and payable together with the payment of the milestone payment for the subsequent milestone event.

For clarity, the milestone payments in this Section 8.4 shall be additive such that [***] milestones below are met in the same period of calendar year, Takeda shall pay to ITI a payment of [***] ([***]). Each of the below milestone payments shall be made only once for the first occurrence of each milestone event with respect to the Compounds or Products, regardless of their formulations, preparations, backups and derivatives (if any).

(b) Royalty Term. Royalties shall be paid under this Section 8.5, on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, during the period of time beginning from the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country until the latest of: (i) the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim in such country claiming the composition of matter, or claiming a method of use of the Product for an Indication for which Regulatory Approval has been obtained; (ii) the expiration of Regulatory Exclusivity in such country covering such Product; and (iii) the [***] ([***]) [***] of the First Commercial Sale of such Product in such country (the “Royalty Term”).

Valid Claim and/or Regulatory Exclusivity covering such Product in the country where a Generic Product is being marketed, the first sentence of this Section 8.5(c) shall only apply if Takeda is conducting Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enforce such Valid Claim and/or Regulatory Exclusivity to enjoin the sale of such Generic Product and shall cease to apply if such sales are enjoined in such country.
(d) Royalty Reports and Payments. Within [***] ([***]) [***] following the end of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th calendar quarters of each calendar year, commencing with the calendar quarter in which the First Commercial Sale of any Product is made anywhere in the Territory, Takeda shall provide ITI with a reasonably detailed report containing the following information for the applicable calendar quarter, on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis: (i) the gross sales of such Product in the Territory, (ii) a reasonable calculation of the tentative amount of Net Sales in the Territory showing total amount of deductions, to the extent practicable, provided for in the definition of “Net Sales”, subject to a final adjustment to be made by Takeda at the end of Takeda’s fiscal year (April 1 to March 31), (iii) a calculation of the royalty payment due on such sales, (iv) the exchange rate for such country, and (v) the application of the reduction and adjustment, if any, made in accordance with the terms of Section 8.5(c).

Concurrent with the delivery of such annual report, Takeda shall pay in Dollars all amounts due to ITI pursuant to Section 8.5 with respect to Net Sales for the 1st calendar quarter, as adjusted to reflect Takeda’s calculation of Net Sales for Takeda’s most recently completed fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event ITI becomes a public reporting company (through acquisition or otherwise), the Parties shall discuss in good faith the timing of reports under this Section 8.5(d) (but not the timing of the corresponding payment obligation) and shall agree reasonably to adjust such timing as necessary for ITI to be able to comply with all requirements under applicable Laws or the rules of the applicable security exchange on which the shares of ITI or its Affiliate are listed; provided, however, that ITI shall inform Takeda of such necessity of change reasonably beforehand, and any agreed change must be practically feasible for Takeda.

8.8 Payment Method; Late Payments. All payments due to ITI hereunder shall be made in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an ITI’s bank account set forth in Exhibit H.

8.9 Records; Audits. Takeda and its Affiliates and sublicensees will maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit ITI to confirm the accuracy of the calculation of royalty payments, Takeda’s compliance with Section 1.64 and the achievement of milestone events. ITI and its Affiliates will maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit Takeda to confirm the accuracy of the calculation of FTEs and Third Party payments for research, Development or Manufacturing reimbursed by Takeda under Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.4 or 8.2. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be available during regular business hours for a period of [***] ([***]) [***] from the end of the calendar year to which they pertain for examination, [***], by an independent certified public accountant selected by the auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the audited Party, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement. Any such auditor shall not disclose the audited Party’s Confidential Information, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to verify the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the audited Party or the amount of payments due by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid shall be paid within [***] ([***]) [***] from the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 8.8) from the original due date. The auditing Party shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by the audited Party of more than [***] ([***]) of the amount due, in which case the audited Party shall bear the full cost of such audit.
8.10 Taxes.
(a) Taxes on Income. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the efforts of the Parties under this Agreement.
(b) Tax Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of royalties, milestone payments, and other payments made by Takeda to ITI under this Agreement. To the extent Takeda is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to ITI, Takeda shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to ITI an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable ITI to claim such payment of taxes. ITI shall provide Takeda any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Takeda not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Each Party shall provide the other

36.
with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by applicable Laws, of withholding taxes, value added taxes, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax or value added tax. If reasonably necessary, Takeda shall require its sublicensees in the Territory to cooperate with ITI in a manner consistent with this Section 8.10(b).
(c) Taxes Resulting From Takeda Action. If Takeda is required to make a payment to ITI that is subject to a deduction or withholding of tax, then (i) if such withholding or deduction obligation arises as a result of any action by Takeda, including any assignment or sublicense, or any failure on the part of Takeda to comply with applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements, that has the effect of modifying the tax treatment of the Parties hereto (a “Takeda Withholding Tax Action”), then the sum payable by Takeda (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that ITI receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such Takeda Withholding Tax Action occurred, and (ii) otherwise, the sum payable by Takeda (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be made to ITI after deduction of the amount required to be so deducted or withheld, which deducted or withheld amount shall be remitted to the proper Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.
(d) Certification. A Party (including any entity to which this Agreement may be assigned, as permitted under Section 15.5) receiving a payment pursuant to this Agreement shall provide the remitting Party appropriate certification from relevant governmental authorities that such Party is a tax resident of that jurisdiction, if such receiving Party wishes to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which that jurisdiction is a party. Upon the receipt thereof, any deduction and withholding of taxes shall be made at the appropriate treaty tax rate.

9.3 Prosecution of Patents.
(a) ITI Prosecuted Patents.
(i) Subject to Section 9.3(a)(ii) below, as between the Parties, ITI shall have the first right to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain ITI Patents (including the Sole Assigned Patents) in the Territory and any Patents for which the responsibility for prosecution and maintenance has been assumed by ITI pursuant to Section 9.3(b)(ii) below (the “ITI Prosecuted Patents”). ITI shall provide Takeda reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding such ITI Prosecuted Patents, as follows. In any case, the countries and jurisdictions for which the ITI Prosecuted Patents are filed and maintained shall be decided by Takeda after considering ITI’s reasonable opinion in good faith; provided, however, that if ITI desires to prosecute or maintain an ITI Prosecuted Patent in a country or jurisdiction that Takeda has not selected, then ITI shall have the right to do so at its expense, and such ITI Prosecuted Patent shall no longer be considered an ITI Patent and shall be excluded from the license to Takeda under Section 2.1(b), and if such Patent is an Assigned Patent, Takeda shall assign such Patent to ITI in accordance with the procedures in Section 2.1(a)(iv); provided, however, that the above treatment of such excluded Patents is for the purpose to preserve ITI’s patent coverage under such excluded Patents which may be exercised only outside the Field or upon and following termination or expiration of the Term, and ITI shall not use or make a Third Party use such excluded Patents against Takeda as regard to the Compound and Product in the Field during the Term. ITI shall provide Takeda with copies of all material communications from any patent authority regarding such ITI Prosecuted Patents, and shall provide Takeda, for its review and comment, with drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. ITI shall consider in good faith and shall implement as appropriate any reasonable comments thereto provided by Takeda in connection with the prosecution of ITI Prosecuted Patents to the extent applicable to the Products in the Field.

If ITI anticipates incurring any expenses significantly in excess of such budget, ITI shall notify Takeda as soon as practicable.
(ii) If ITI decides to cease the prosecution or maintenance of any ITI Prosecuted Patents, it shall notify Takeda in writing sufficiently in advance so that Takeda may, at its discretion, assume the responsibility for the prosecution or maintenance of such Patents, at Takeda’s cost and expense. If Takeda assumes such responsibility, then such Patents shall be included in the Takeda Prosecuted Patents and the terms of Section 9.3(b) shall apply to such Patents.

(b) Takeda Prosecuted Patents.
(i) Subject to Section 9.3(b)(ii) below, as between the Parties, Takeda shall have the first right to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain Takeda Patents and Joint Patents in the Territory, and any Patents for which the responsibility for prosecution and maintenance has been assumed by Takeda pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(ii) above (the “Takeda Prosecuted Patents”), at Takeda’s cost and expense. Takeda shall provide ITI reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding such Takeda Prosecuted Patents (other than Takeda Patents), as follows. Takeda shall provide ITI with copies of all material communications from any patent authority regarding such Takeda Prosecuted Patents (other than Takeda Patents), and shall provide ITI, for its review and comment, with drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. Takeda shall consider in good faith and shall implement as appropriate any reasonable comments thereto provided by ITI in connection with the prosecution of Takeda Prosecuted Patents (other than Takeda Patents). Takeda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the broadest claim coverage for the Takeda Prosecuted Patents, and shall not undertake any patent prosecution or enforcement action in the Territory which ITI reasonably determines to be detrimental to the practice, prosecution or enforcement of ITI Patents outside the Territory.
(ii) If Takeda decides to cease the prosecution or maintenance of any Takeda Prosecuted Patents (other than Takeda Patents), it shall notify ITI in writing sufficiently in advance so that ITI may, at its discretion, assume the responsibility for the prosecution or maintenance of such Patents, at ITI’s cost and expense. If ITI assumes such responsibility, then such Patents shall be included in the ITI Prosecuted Patents and the terms of Section 9.3(a) shall apply to such Patents, except that ITI shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses for the preparation, prosecution and maintenance of such Patents.
(c) Cooperation. Each Party shall provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation, at the other Party’s request and expense, in the patent prosecution efforts provide above in this Section 9.3, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution.

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the xxxx “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
39.
(b) Enforcement Rights. For any Product Infringement, each Party shall share with the other Party all Information available to it regarding such alleged infringement. Takeda shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such Product Infringement, at Takeda’s cost and expense. Takeda shall have a period of [***] ([***]) [***] after its receipt or delivery of notice under Section 9.4(a) to elect to so enforce the ITI Patents or Joint Patents in the Territory, and [***] ([***]) [***] thereafter to commence such enforcement (or to settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Product Infringement). If Takeda fails to commence a suit to enforce the applicable ITI Patents or Joint Patents or to settle or otherwise secure the abatement of such Product Infringement within such period, then ITI shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence a suit or take action to enforce such ITI Patents or Joint Patents against such Product Infringement in the Territory at its own cost and expense. In this case, Takeda shall take appropriate actions in order to enable ITI to commence a suit or take the actions set forth in the preceding sentence.
(c) Collaboration. Each Party shall provide to the enforcing Party reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by applicable Laws to pursue such action. The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts, and shall seek consent of the other Party in any important aspects of such enforcement, including determination of litigation strategy and filing of material papers to the competent court, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The non-enforcing Party shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the enforcing Party.
(d) Settlement. Takeda shall not settle any claim, suit or action that it brought under Section 9.4(b) in any manner that would negatively impact the applicable ITI Patents, without the prior written consent of ITI, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Nothing in this Article 9 shall require ITI to consent to any settlement that is reasonably anticipated by ITI to have a substantially adverse impact upon any ITI Patent.
(e) Expenses and Recoveries. The enforcing Party bringing a claim, suit or action under Section 9.4(b) shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred by such Party as a result of such claim, suit or action. If such Party recovers monetary damages in such claim, suit or action, such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Parties in such litigation (including, for this purpose, a reasonable allocation of expenses of internal counsel), and [***].
(f) Infringement Other Than a Product Infringement. For any and all infringement of any ITI Patents other than a Product Infringement, as between the Parties, ITI shall have the sole and exclusive right to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such other infringement, in its sole discretion, and shall bear all

40.
related expenses and retain all related recoveries; provided, however, that if such action might affect the validity of the ITI Patents, ITI shall update and reasonably consult with Takeda about the infringement and suit or other action.
9.5 Enforcement of Takeda Patents. Takeda shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity allegedly infringing any Takeda Patents. ITI shall provide reasonable assistance to Takeda in such enforcement, at Takeda’s request and expense. Takeda shall keep ITI regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, and shall reasonably consider ITI’s comments on any such efforts.
9.6 Patents Licensed From Third Parties. Each Party’s rights under this Article 9 with respect to the prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of any ITI Patent that is licensed by ITI from a Third Party shall be subject to the rights of such Third Party to prosecute, maintain and enforce such Patent.
9.7 Infringement of Third Party Rights in the Territory. Subject to Article 11, if any Product used or sold by Takeda, its Affiliates or sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent granted by a jurisdiction within the Territory, Takeda shall promptly notify ITI and the Parties shall agree on and enter into a “common interest agreement” wherein the Parties agree to their shared, mutual interest in the outcome of such potential dispute, and thereafter, the Parties shall promptly meet to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action. Takeda shall be solely responsible for the defense of any such infringement claims, at Takeda’s cost and expense, provided that the provisions of Section 9.4 shall govern the right of Takeda to assert a counterclaim of infringement of any ITI Patents or Joint Patents.
9.8 Parties’ Patent Rights. If any ITI Prosecuted Patent, Takeda Prosecuted Patent, or Joint Patent becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party within the Territory in connection with an opposition, reexamination request, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, an action for infringement against a Third Party under Section 9.4 or 9.5, in which case the provisions of Section 9.4 or 9.5, as applicable, shall govern), then ITI shall control such defense with respect to the ITI Prosecuted Patents and Takeda shall control such defense with respect to the Takeda Prosecuted Patents. Takeda shall be responsible for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by either Party under this Section 9.8. The controlling Party shall permit the non-controlling Party to participate in the proceeding to the extent permissible under applicable Laws, and to be represented by its own counsel in such proceeding, at the non-controlling Party’s expense. If either Party decides that it does not wish to defend against such action, then the other Party shall have a backup right to assume defense of such Third-Party action at its own expense. Any awards or amounts received in defending any such Third-Party action shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 9.4(e).
9.9 Patent Marking. Takeda and its Affiliates and sublicensees shall xxxx each Product marketed and sold by Takeda or its Affiliates or sublicensee hereunder with appropriate

patent numbers or indicia; provided, however, that Takeda shall only be required to so xxxx such Product to the extent such markings or such notices would affect recoveries of damages or equitable remedies available under applicable Laws with respect to infringement of Patents in the Territory or are required by applicable Laws on a country-by-country basis.
9.10 Patent Term Extension. Takeda may file, at its own discretion and costs and in consultation with ITI, any applications for extension of term of any of the Assigned Patent(s) in a country(ies) or area(s) in the Territory. ITI will assist with all reasonable requests made by Takeda in support of any application for patent term extensions of or supplementary protection certificates relating to the Assigned Patent(s). Takeda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain and maintain such patent extensions.
9.11 Trademarks. Takeda shall have the right to brand the Products in the Territory using Takeda related trademarks and any other trademarks and trade names it determines appropriate for the Products in consultation with ITI, which may vary by country or within a country (“Product Marks”), provided that Takeda shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees will not, make any use of the trademarks or house marks of ITI (including ITI’s corporate name) or any trademark confusingly similar thereto.

ARTICLE 13
TERM AND TERMINATION
13.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 13, shall remain in effect on a Product-by-Product and country-by-country basis, until the expiration of the Royalty Term of such Product in such country (the “Term”). Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term for a Product in a particular country, the licenses granted by ITI to Takeda under Section 2.1(b) with respect to such Product and such country shall become fully-paid, royalty free and exclusive.
13.2 Unilateral Termination by Takeda. Takeda may terminate this Agreement in its entirety for any or no reason (a) upon [***] ([***]) [***] ITI if such notice is delivered prior to the First Commercial Sale of a Product anywhere in the Territory, or (b) upon [***] ([***]) [***] to ITI if such notice is delivered after the First Commercial Sale of a Product anywhere in the Territory.
13.3 Termination by ITI for Patent Challenge. ITI may terminate this Agreement in its entirety immediately upon written notice to Takeda if Takeda or its Affiliates or sublicensees (directly or indirectly, individually or in association with any other person or entity) challenges the validity, enforceability or scope of any ITI Patent (including any Sole Assigned Patent) anywhere in the world.
13.4 Termination for Breach.
(a) General. Except as explicitly provided in Section 13.4(c) (country-by-country termination right), each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety immediately upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement and, after receiving written notice identifying such material breach in reasonable detail, fails to cure such material breach within [***] ([***]) [***] from the date of such notice (or within [***] ([***]) [***] from the date of such notice in the event such material breach is solely based on the breaching Party’s failure to pay any amounts due hereunder), subject to subsection (c) below.
Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the xxxx “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
49.
(b) Material Breach by ITI. If Takeda has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.4(a) for ITI’s material breach, Takeda may elect not to terminate this Agreement and instead to retain this Agreement in effect, in which case ITI shall continue to be liable to Takeda for any uncured material breach, and Takeda shall be entitled to pursue all legal and equitable remedies arising from such material breach that are available to it. Following a final, non-appealable judgment pursuant to Section 14.3 (unless ITI in writing does not dispute Takeda’s determination of ITI’s material breach) of ITI’s material breach of this Agreement, Takeda may elect, in lieu of receiving a payment of damages from ITI, to offset Takeda’s future payment obligations to ITI under this Agreement by the amount of damages determined and awarded to Takeda pursuant to Section 14.3 (or agreed to in writing by the Parties). If Takeda has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.4(a) for ITI’s material breach and elects to terminate this Agreement under Section 13.4(a), then the Parties agree and acknowledge that a court assessing damages to Takeda under Section 14.3 shall take into consideration all relevant factors in establishing a reasonable and appropriate determination of damages to Takeda, including the investment made by Takeda in the Product prior to the date of termination, the magnitude and effect of the breach by ITI.
(c) Material Breach by Takeda. Notwithstanding Section 13.4(a), if Takeda materially breaches its obligations under this Agreement (but excluding any incidental or inmaterial obligations) including, but not limited to, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts under Section 4.4 or 6.2 for a particular country among the U.S. or Major Countries (defined below) following the First Commercial Sale of a Product in either the U.S. or a Major Country, and such material breach is not solely based on Takeda’s failure to pay any amounts due hereunder, and Takeda in good faith disputes such termination, then the effective date of such termination under Section 13.4(a) shall be extended for an additional [***] ([***]) [***] (for a total of [***] ([***]) [***]), or as long as the procedure under Section 14.3 continues until finally completed, in the event that either Party invokes the procedures in Section 14.3 hereof, provided that Takeda has provided a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a prompt cure only if such prompt cure is reasonable available, and such plan is acceptable to ITI (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and Takeda carries out such plan. After the expiration of such effective date (or such earlier date as Takeda no longer disputes such material breach), ITI shall have a right to terminate this Agreement in the following manner:
(A) if the material breach concerns the U.S., ITI may terminate the agreement in its entirety;
(B) if the material breach concerns one or more of the Major Countries (defined below), ITI may terminate only with respect to such Major Country(ies);
(C) if the material breach concerns a country other than the U.S. or a Major Country, ITI may not terminate this Agreement with respect to such country as long as a material breach of this Agreement did not occur in the U.S., and in such case following an allegation by ITI of material breach by Takeda in a country other than the U.S. or a Major Country and expiration of the applicable cure period, Takeda shall, promptly after receiving from ITI the reasonably detailed of contents of such allegation of ITI, elect either to terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable country (in such case Takeda will be released from any liability or claims by ITI under this Section as regard to alleged material breach for such terminated country) or to dispute
Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the xxxx “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
50.
the allegation under Section 14.3, and if Takeda is finally determined by a court to have materially breached this Agreement, then ITI shall have the right to receive damages and all other remedies determined by the court and Takeda shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such country (and in any case if Takeda terminates this Agreement with respect to such country, Takeda shall fulfill the applicable obligations under Section 13.6 as applicable for such country); and
(D) with respect to a material breach concerning the U.S. or a Major Country, ITI may elect not to terminate this Agreement and instead to retain this Agreement in effect, in which case Takeda shall continue to be liable to ITI for any uncured material breach, and ITI shall be entitled to pursue all legal and equitable remedies arising from such material breach that are available to it.
For purposes of this Section 13.4(c), “Major Country” shall mean each of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippine, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and, if and when Takeda establishes in the future an Affiliate which conducts selling and marketing activities at commercial level in any other country in the Territory, such country.
(d) If ITI has the right to terminate this Agreement for Takeda’s material breach and elects to terminate this Agreement as provided herein, then the Parties agree and acknowledge that a court will consider and decide the damages, if any, and also, such assessing damages may take into consideration, at the court’s discretion, all relevant factors in establishing a reasonable and appropriate determination of damages and/or remedies to ITI, including the investment made by ITI/Takeda in the Product prior to the date of termination, the magnitude and effect of the breach by Takeda in the calculation of damages, and scope of rights transferred by Takeda as provided in Section 13.6 hereof (such as transfer of Regulatory Approvals and funding on-going clinical studies) during the consideration of remedies for ITI.
13.5 Termination for Safety. Takeda may terminate this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to a particular Product upon [***] ([***]) [***] prior written notice to ITI (a) if senior executives responsible for Takeda’s Pharmacovigilance and Clinical Science functions determine in good faith that the risk/benefit profile of such Product(s) is such that the Product(s) cannot continue to be Developed or administered to subjects/patients safely (and not for commercial reasons), or (b) upon the occurrence of serious adverse events related to the use of such Product(s) that cause Takeda to reasonably conclude that the continued use of such Product(s) by subjects/patients will result in subjects/patients being exposed to a product whose risks outweigh its benefits. Following notice of termination under this Section 13.5, the Parties shall cooperate to wind down all Development and Commercialization activities with respect to the terminated Product(s).
13.6 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination (but not expiration) of this Agreement, all licenses and rights granted to Takeda under this Agreement shall terminate, and Takeda shall return, transfer and assign to ITI or its designee all materials, Information, Regulatory Materials, Regulatory Approvals, licenses, third party agreements and other items as are reasonably necessary for ITI to continue the Development and Commercialization of

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following rights and consequences shall apply upon any termination (in addition to any other rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such termination), except that sub-sections (e) (except for the first sentence) and (h) shall not apply in the event of a termination under Section 13.5:
(a) Regulatory Materials; Data. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, Takeda shall transfer and assign to ITI all Regulatory Materials, Regulatory Approvals, and related data and Information relating to the Products and Compounds and shall treat the foregoing as “Confidential Information” of ITI (and not of Takeda) under Section 12; provided that Takeda will be allowed to retain any such materials that a Regulatory Authority requires Takeda to retain under applicable Laws.
(b) Takeda License. Takeda hereby grants to ITI, effective upon such termination, an exclusive, fully paid, worldwide, fully transferrable, irrevocable license (with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers) under the Takeda Technology as in existence as of the date of termination solely to research, Develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise Manufacture or Commercialize the Compounds and Products.
(c) Assignment to ITI of Assigned Patents. Takeda shall assign and does hereby assign to ITI, effective on the effectiveness of such termination, its entire right, title and interest in and to each Sole Assigned Patent, and one-half of its right, title and interest in and to each Joint Assigned Patent, and Takeda appoints ITI its attorney in fact solely to make such re-assignments and authorizes ITI to make such re-assignments. In each case, Takeda shall execute and deliver to ITI a deed(s) of such assignment, in a mutually agreeable form, within [***] ([***]) [***] after the effective date of termination. ITI shall be responsible for recording all such assignments, and Takeda and its successors and assigns shall (i) reasonably cooperate with ITI’s efforts to do so, including satisfying the assignment and recording requirements of relevant patent offices and (ii) reimburse ITI for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by ITI in connection with this Section 13.6(c). In addition, Takeda hereby grants ITI an exclusive license under its interest in the Sole Assigned Patents and a non-exclusive license under its interest in the Joint Assigned Patents during the period from the effective date of termination until the applicable Assigned Patents are actually re-assigned to ITI. If this Agreement is terminated under Section 13.5 with respect to a Product but not with respect to this Agreement in its entirety, then this Section 13.6(c) shall apply to Assigned Patents claiming the terminated Product(s) only.
Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the xxxx “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
52.
(d) Trademarks. Takeda shall assign to ITI all right, title and interest in and to the Product Marks (excluding any such marks that include, in whole or part, any corporate name or logo of Takeda) throughout the Territory.
(e) Manufacture and Supply. Takeda shall transfer the then-current manufacturing process for the Products to ITI or its designee (which will be designated as soon as reasonably practical but in no event later than [***] ([***]) [***] following the effective date of the termination of this Agreement). At ITI’s request, Takeda shall supply, or cause to be supplied, to ITI all then-available quantities of Products. Takeda will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply additional quantities of Products for a period of the earlier of (i) the date ITI is able to manufacture or have manufacture Products (including through an assignment of any Third Party supply contract from Takeda) or (ii) one (1) year following the effective date of termination; provided that ITI shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to effect such assumption (or transition) as promptly as practicable. Such supply shall be at a price equal to Takeda’s fully-burdened manufacturing costs or acquisition cost of the Product. Any such supply will be made pursuant to a mutually acceptable supply agreement between the Parties. In the event that Takeda has one or more agreements with Third Party manufacturers with respect to the manufacture of a Product, at ITI’s request, Takeda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to transfer its rights and obligations under such agreement(s) to ITI upon any such termination.
(f) Transition Assistance. Takeda shall provide such assistance, at no cost to ITI (except in the event of a termination of this Agreement for ITI’s breach, in which case such assistance shall be provided at Takeda’s then-current FTE rates), as may be reasonably necessary or useful for ITI to continue Developing, manufacturing and/or Commercializing Products throughout the Territory, to the extent Takeda is then performing or having performed such activities, including assigning or amending as appropriate, upon request of ITI, any agreements or arrangements with Third Party vendors to manufacture, Develop, distribute, sell or otherwise Commercialize Products. To the extent that any such contract between Takeda and a Third Party is not assignable to ITI, Takeda shall reasonably cooperate with ITI to arrange to continue to provide such services for a reasonable time after termination. Takeda shall not, during such applicable notice period, take any action that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the further Development and Commercialization of any Product.
(g) Ongoing Clinical Trials. Takeda shall transfer to ITI the management and continued performance of all Clinical Trials for Products ongoing as of the effective date of such termination, provided that Takeda shall be responsible to fund (during the Term and following such termination) any then-ongoing Clinical Trials of Products as set forth in the then-current Development Plan, until such activities are completed as contemplated in such plan, unless such Clinical Trials are required to be terminated by a Regulatory Authority under applicable Laws; provided that Takeda shall not be responsible to fund any such expenses to the extent that ITI is reimbursed therefor by a Third Party licensee.
(h) Inventories. ITI shall have the right to purchase from Takeda any and all of the inventory of Products held by Takeda as of the effective date of termination at a price equal to Takeda’s actual cost to acquire or manufacture such inventory. ITI shall notify Takeda within [***] ([***]) [***] after the effective date of termination whether ITI elects to exercise such right.

53.
(i) Takeda Dispute Rights in the event of ITI Material Breach. In the event that Takeda terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.4(a) for a material breach by ITI, Takeda may invoke the dispute resolution procedures of Section 14.3 to dispute the equitable basis for providing ITI the rights under Section 13.6(a), (b) and (d) without additional compensation to Takeda. The Parties agree that Takeda shall have the right to petition such court to resolve any dispute regarding fair and equitable compensation for such rights to ITI given the consideration of all relevant factors, provided that a court shall not be permitted to restrict or withhold the grant of such rights to ITI.
For clarity, except in the case of termination under Section 13.5, Takeda shall continue to perform all obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of Products until the effective date of termination and shall not modify in any material respects such activities from past practices during such period.
13.7 Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that have accrued prior to the date of termination or expiration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the following provisions shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: 4.5 (solely as to unpaid amounts), 5.6 (solely as to any pending claims between the Parties applicable and the transition of such activities in accordance with the terms of the Agreement for any Remedial Action then existing), 8.2 (solely as to unpaid amounts), 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10 (for the applicable statute of limitation period for any tax Laws), 9.1, 9.2, 10.4, 12.1, 12.2, 12.4, 12.5, 13.4(b) (solely as to the last sentence thereof), 13.4(c) (solely as to the last sentence thereof which is equivalent with that survived in 13.4(b)), 13.5 (solely as to the last sentence thereof) 13.6 and 13.7 and Articles 1 (solely as to any defined terms used in any provision surviving hereunder), 11, 14 and 15.

MISCELLANEOUS
15.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Confidentiality Agreement. The foregoing shall not be interpreted as a waiver of any remedies available to either Party as a result of any breach, prior to the Effective Date, by the other Party of its obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as are set forth in this Agreement. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party.
15.2 Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall include conditions beyond the control of the Parties, including an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, and failure of plant or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a force majeure affecting such Party. If a force majeure persists for more than [***] ([***]) [***], then the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such force majeure.

Except where the context otherwise requires, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders, and the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or). The term “including” as used herein means including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term.
15.5 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except that a Party may make such an assignment or transfer without the other Party’s consent to its Affiliates or to a Third Party successor to substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates (such Third Party, an “Acquiror”), whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction. Any successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations permitted hereunder shall, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. In the event of any permitted assignment of this Agreement by Takeda, Takeda shall assign to such permitted assignee or to ITI (in accordance with Section 13.6(c) as if a termination had occurred) Takeda’s entire right, title and interest in and to each Assigned Patent to which Takeda obtained an ownership interest pursuant to Section 2.1(a). The ITI Technology, in the case of ITI as assignor or transferor, or the Takeda Technology, in the case of Takeda as assignor or transferor, shall exclude any Patents and Information Controlled by any Acquiror (or any Affiliate thereof, excluding a Party hereto as a result of such transaction) prior to the acquisition or developed outside of any activities under this Agreement. Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 15.5 shall be null, void and of no legal effect.
15.6 Performance by Affiliates. Each Party may discharge any obligations and exercise any right hereunder through any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.

15.8 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.
15.9 No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time.
15.10 Independent Contractors. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way.

JOINT PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Intra-Cellular Therapies Announces Completion of Phase I Single Rising Dose Trial of First-in-Class Selective Phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) Inhibitor and Reports Top-line Safety and Pharmacokinetic Findings
NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2013/PRNewswire/ — Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. (“ITI”) today announced the completion of a Phase I single rising dose study of its phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) inhibitor, ITI-214. ITI-214, a novel, first-in-class selective PDE1 inhibitor, was discovered by ITI and is in development under an exclusive collaboration with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited for the treatment of Cognitive Impairment Associated with Schizophrenia (CIAS).
The primary objectives of the Phase I study were to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of single oral doses of ITI-214 in healthy volunteers. The study was conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 70 subjects. The results indicated that ITI-214 was safe and well-tolerated across a broad range of single oral doses. Moreover, ITI-214 demonstrates a favorable pharmacokinetic profile consistent with once-a-day dosing. The study represents a significant milestone as it is the first demonstration of the safety of a PDE1 inhibitor in a Phase 1 clinical trial.
“We are pleased with the advancement of ITI-214 in clinical development,” stated Xxxxxx Mates, Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Intra-Cellular Therapies. “The data obtained for ITI-214 support its continued development for the treatment of Cognitive Impairment Associated with Schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders.”
About Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a major neuropsychiatric disorder that affects over one percent of the world population with an illness that begins in late adolescence and lasts a lifetime. Its best known symptoms are “positive symptoms”, which include hallucinations and delusions; but other mental functions are also affected, including social and motivational skills (“negative symptoms”) and cognitive behaviors, like inattention and poor memory. Current antipsychotics are effective primarily on reducing positive symptoms but are largely ineffective at reducing negative and cognitive symptoms. The medical need in this disease area is enormous.
About PDE1 Inhibitors
These compounds are unique, orally available, investigational drugs being developed for the treatment of cognitive impairments accompanying schizophrenia and other neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Xxxxxxxxx’x disease. These compounds may also have the potential to improve motor dysfunction associated with these disorders. These compounds are very selective for the PDE1 subfamily relative to other PDE subfamilies. They have no known significant off target activities at other enzymes, receptors or ion channels.
