Commercialization Plan On a Product by Product basis, not later than sixty (60) days after the filing of the first application for Regulatory Approval of a Product in the Copromotion Territory, the MSC shall prepare and approve a rolling multiyear (not less than three (3) years) plan for Commercializing such Product in the Copromotion Territory (the "Copromotion Territory Commercialization Plan"), which plan includes a comprehensive market development, marketing, sales, supply and distribution strategy for such Product in the Copromotion Territory. The Copromotion Territory Commercialization Plan shall be updated by the MSC at least once each calendar year such that it addresses no less than the three (3) upcoming years. Not later than thirty (30) days after the filing of the first application for Regulatory Approval of a Product in the Copromotion Territory and thereafter on or before September 30 of each calendar year, the MSC shall prepare an annual commercialization plan and budget (the "Annual Commercialization Plan and Budget"), which plan is based on the then current Copromotion Territory Commercialization Plan and includes a comprehensive market development, marketing, sales, supply and distribution strategy, including an overall budget for anticipated marketing, promotion and sales efforts in the upcoming calendar year (the first such Annual Development Plan and Budget shall cover the remainder of the calendar year in which such Product is anticipated to be approved plus the first full calendar year thereafter). The Annual Commercialization Plan and Budget will specify which Target Markets and distribution channels each Party shall devote its respective Promotion efforts towards, the personnel and other resources to be devoted by each Party to such efforts, the number and positioning of Details to be performed by each Party, as well as market and sales forecasts and related operating expenses, for the Product in each country of the Copromotion Territory, and budgets for projected Pre-Marketing Expenses, Sales and Marketing Expenses and Post-Approval Research and Regulatory Expenses. In preparing and updating the Copromotion Territory Commercialization Plan and each Annual Commercialization Plan and Budget, the MSC will take into consideration factors such as market conditions, regulatory issues and competition.
Commercialization Plans As soon as practicable after formation of the JCC (following Acucela’s exercise of an Opt-In Right under Section 3.1), the JCC shall prepare and approve the initial Commercialization Plan for Commercialization of the Licensed Product for the Initial Indication in the Initial Formulation (and, if applicable, any New Formulation or Other Indication Product) in the Territory. The Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that such initial Commercialization Plan for Commercialization of the Licensed Product for the Initial Indication in the Initial Formulation is consistent with the general Commercialization Plan outline set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “General Commercialization Plan Outline”). The JCC shall prepare and approve a separate Commercialization Plan for Commercialization of Licensed Product for the Initial Indication in the Initial Formulation in the Territory and for Commercialization of each Other Indication Product and New Formulation (if any) in the Territory, and shall update and amend each Commercialization Plan not less than annually or more frequently as needed to take into account changed circumstances or completion, commencement or cessation of Commercialization activities not contemplated by the then-current Commercialization Plan. Amendments and revisions to the Commercialization Plan shall be reviewed and discussed, in advance, by the JCC, and Otsuka agrees to consider proposals and suggestions made by Acucela regarding amendments and revisions to the Commercialization Plan. Any amendment or revision to the Commercialization Plan that provides for an increase or decrease in the number of FTEs for any Phase 3b Clinical Trials or Post-Approval Studies as compared to the previous version of the Commercialization Plan, or that provides for addition or discontinuation of tasks or activities as compared to the previous version of the Commercialization Plan, or that moves forward the timetable for activities reflected in the Commercialization Plan, shall provide for a reasonable ramp-up or wind-down period, as applicable, to accommodate a smooth and orderly transition of Commercialization activities to the amended or revised Commercialization Plan. Each Commercialization Plan shall identify the goals of Commercialization contemplated thereunder and shall address Commercialization (including Co-Promotion) activities related to the Licensed Product (including, if applicable, any Other Indication Product), including:

The JDC shall have a chairperson. Each Party shall have the right, on an alternating Calendar Year basis, to select from among its JDC representatives a representative to serve as the chairperson of the JDC during such Calendar Year.
