2. GRANT OF LICENSE RIGHTS; MECHANISM FOR EXPANSION OF TERRITORY; RIGHTS
RELATING TO A "BACK-UP COMPOUND" AND TO "ADDITIONAL COMPOUNDS".
2.1 License Grant to Lundbeck
-------------------------
(a) Patent and Know-How License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
---------------------------
this Agreement, Centaur hereby grants to Lundbeck and Lundbeck hereby
accepts:
(i) Exclusive License. The sole and exclusive, royalty-bearing
-----------------
license (the "Exclusive License"), including the right to grant
sublicenses as provided herein, under the Centaur Technology to
develop, import, export, package, use, sell, market, promote,
distribute and have sold Licensed Products for the Primary
Indication in the Territory in accordance with this Agreement. A
sublicense includes but is not limited to co-marketing and co-
promotion arrangements, provided that Centaur is informed of who
the co-marketing or co-promotion partners are and has no
reasonable objection to them.
(ii) Non-Exclusive License. A non-exclusive license (the "Non-
---------------------
Exclusive License"), including the right to grant sublicenses
under the Centaur Technology to synthesize, formulate and
manufacture Bulk Product and Bulk Substance for Licensed Product
for non-clinical, clinical or commercial use and sale for the
Primary Indication in the Territory as provided in 7.2 and as a
"Back-Up Supplier" as provided in Sections 7.1, 7.18 (b), 7.19,
7.20 and 7.21 below or in accordance with Section 13.9 below.
(b) Trademark License. Lundbeck and Centaur shall decide as set forth in
-----------------
Section 11.8 on the Trademark(s) under which Licensed Product will be
marketed, promoted, offered for sale and sold in the Territory, which
Trademark(s), except for those owned and in use by either party to
identify itself or its products, shall be owned by Centaur. Subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Centaur hereby grants and
Lundbeck hereby accepts the sole and exclusive, royalty-bearing
license ("Trademark License"), with right to sublicense, to use the
Trademark(s) on Licensed Product in the Territory and in accordance
with Section 5.11. Centaur's obligations regarding maintenance and
protection of the Trademark(s) are set forth in Section 11 below.
(c) The "Lundbeck License". The Exclusive License, Non-Exclusive License
----------------------
and Trademark License may be herein collectively referred to as the
"Lundbeck License".
2.2 License Grant to Centaur. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
-------------------------
Agreement, Lundbeck hereby grants to Centaur, and Centaur hereby accepts, a
royalty-free license for the whole world outside the Territory, with the
power to grant sublicenses under its license,
10
31, October 1996
to use any and all Lundbeck owned or controlled Know-how, Confidential
Information, Synthesis Data and patents for the manufacture, use and sale
of CPI-1189 and/or Licensed Products as set forth herein. A sublicense
includes but is not limited to co-marketing and co-promotion arrangements.
2.3 Mechanism for Expansion of Territory. The scope and definition in Section
------------------------------------
1.33 of the "Territory" may be expanded in the following manner. Regarding
Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan, Lebanon,
Israel, Turkey, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait Pakistan and the Gulf
States, Centaur will give Lundbeck a first right of negotiation, with a
preference given to Lundbeck over any other party offering substantially
similar terms and conditions. Further, if these areas are not part of
another multi-country transaction or not being serviced by Centaur itself
before the first NDA filing for a Licensed Product, then these countries
will be included in the Territory on the same terms and conditions as
contained in this Agreement by adding the sales of Licensed Products in the
so included countries to the sales in the Territory when calculating the
royalties under Section 5, and countries so included shall in all and every
respect be included in the definition of "Territory" in Section 1.33.
2.4 "Back-Up" Compound and Option for Additional Compounds.
-----------------------------------------------------
(a) "Back-Up" Compound. Should the parties mutually determine in good
------------------
faith that CPI-1189 will be unsuccessful in clinical development for
the Primary Indication, such determination to be made within sixty
(60) days after notice to this effect made by either of the parties,
then Centaur will substitute one Back-Up Compound, which shall be the
most promising Additional Compound for the Primary Indication as
mutually agreed by the parties, at no additional cost to Lundbeck.
Upon such substitution, all rights to CPI-1189 will revert to Centaur
and the Back-Up Compound will be considered licensed hereunder as if
it was CPI-1189 and that every reference to CPI-1189 will be a
reference to the Back-Up Compound. For the purposes of this Section
2.4. (a) "unsuccessful" shall mean that CPI-1189 is not
neuroprotective meaning it is not halting or significantly delaying
disease progress in Primary Indication and/or that CPI-1189 has
unacceptable side effects or for some other reasons determined by the
parties.
(b) Option to License Additional Compounds. Should Centaur invent and
--------------------------------------
develop one or more Additional Compounds, for the longer of (i) the
four (4) year period commencing on the Date of Execution or (ii) the
date of submission of the first application for Registration in the
Territory for XXX-0000, Xxxxxxxx shall have the option to license each
such Additional Compound, it being understood that any Additional
Compound shall be deemed invented and developed in the said period if
Centaur initiates plans for an IND for the Additional Compound in such
period. Each time Centaur initiates plans for an IND for an
Additional Compound, Centaur shall notify Lundbeck in writing of
information concerning chemical, toxicological, pharmacological and
manufacturing details of such Additional Compound. Lundbeck shall,
within ninety (90) days of written notification from Centaur, either
(i) waive its right to exercise the option (with failure to respond in
writing being deemed a waiver), or (ii) send written notification to
exercise its option. Should
11
31, October 1996
Lundbeck exercise its option to license an Additional Compound, then
such Additional Compound will automatically become licensed to
Lundbeck (as if a new agreement for the Additional Compound had been
signed) and unless otherwise agreed by the parties such license shall
be under the same terms and conditions as set forth herein, including
those for Down-Payments as described in Section 4 and royalties as
described in Section 5, provided, however, that Lundbeck will not be
required to pay an additional Annual Fee but rather the period for
payment of the Annual Fee referred to in Section 4.3 will be extended
until the date of the first application for Registration in the
Territory of such Additional Compound, and that the duration of any
patent covering an Additional Compound shall not extend the payment of
Basic Royalty for Licensed Product. Should Lundbeck not exercise its
option, then Centaur shall be free to do what it wishes with that
Additional Compound, including to enter into negotiations and/or an
agreement and/or collaboration with another party always provided that
Lundbeck and Centaur shall comply with the obligations set out in
Section 3.2 hereof.
(c) Option to License Extends to Each Additional Compound. The exercising
-----------------------------------------------------
by Lundbeck of its option under subparagraph (b) to license one
Additional Compound shall not prevent Lundbeck from exercising its
option to license any other Additional Compound.
(d) Third Party Royalties. If Centaur is required to pay an Independant
---------------------
Third Party royalty on an Additional Compound then Lundbeck shall
reimburse Centaur 50 % such royalty provided that the amount of such
royalty does not exceed 50 % of the royalties to be paid to Centaur
directly.
2.5 Use outside Primary Indication in the Territory. In the Territory, Centaur
-----------------------------------------------
shall not itself, through an Affiliate or through an Independent Third
Party apply for registration, market, sell or in any other way
commercialize in any form or formulation CPI-1189 or an Additional
Compound, licensed to Lundbeck under section 2.4, for any indication,
therapy or use whatsoever inside or outside the Primary Indication without
the prior written approval from Lundbeck, made at Lundbeck's sole
discretion.
3. COMPETITION CLAUSE
3.1 No rights are granted to Lundbeck by this Agreement except for the
Territory. Lundbeck shall refer all orders received for delivery of
Licensed Product outside the Territory to Centaur. Centaur shall refer all
orders received for delivery of Licensed Product within the Territory to
Lundbeck.
3.2 Lundbeck or any of its sublicensees of Licensed Products shall, for the
term of this Agreement, refrain from marketing any other product in the
Territory which is competitive with Licensed Product. A competitive
product is a pharmaceutical for human therapy (i) with similar
pharmacological profile and (ii) with a similar labelled indication and
(iii) with a similar mechanism(s) of action for Xxxxxxxxx'x disease, it
being understood that (i), (ii) and (iii) are cumulative. Likewise,
Centaur, shall refrain from marketing on its own, through an
12
31, October 1996
Affiliate or through Independent Third Party license partners any
competitive product to Licensed Product in the Territory or any Additional
Compound for one year prior to and two years following the date of
Registration of Licensed Product in the Territory.

aggregate of the signing down-payment (see Section 4.1 (a)), the
Annual Fee, Lundbeck's cost of pre-clinical, clinical, non-clinical
and regulatory activities and manufacturing costs paid or, in
accordance with Section 6.5, internally performed by Lundbeck will not
exceed [*]. Further, if Lundbeck determines to cancel this
Agreement at any time during this period, Lundbeck will pay to
Centaur, the balance between the amount it has already so paid and/or
performed and [*]
14
31, October 1996
[*], should any balance remain. Similarly, should the costs of what
the parties agree to (which is expected to be less than [*] for
Lundbeck) exceed this [*], Centaur will be responsible for costs in
excess of [*]. This means that, notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, if Lundbeck exercises its right to cancel this
Agreement on ninety (90) days prior written notice in 1996 or 1997, it
will pay any remaining balance between the amount it has already paid
to Centaur those years and [*].
(b) During calendar year 1998, including the end of Phase I down-payment
(cf. Section 4.1 (b)) (which will be paid on the later of achievement
of this milestone or January 1, 1998), the aggregate of the Annual
Fee, Lundbeck's cost of pre-clinical, clinical, non-clinical and
regulatory activities and manufacturing costs paid or, in accordance
with Section 6.5, internally performed by Lundbeck will not exceed
[*]. Similarly, should the costs of what the parties agree to (which
is expected to be less than [*] for Lundbeck) exceed this [*], Centaur
will be responsible for costs in excess of [*]. For purposes of
computing Lundbeck's maximum payment in 1998, the Down-Payments
provided for in Sections 4.1(c) through (e) shall be deemed to occur
after calendar year 1998.
5. ROYALTIES
5.1 At the end of each Marketing Quarter, Lundbeck shall pay a royalty to
Centaur for the licenses granted hereunder. Such royalty shall be based on
the Net Sales of Licensed Products by Lundbeck, its Affiliates and/or its
sublicensees in accordance with the following provisions.
5.2 The Basic Royalty. Lundbeck will pay to Centaur a royalty (the "Basic
-----------------
Royalty") based on the total Net Sales of Licensed Product in the Territory
during each Marketing Year, calculated quarterly on a Marketing Year basis,
as follows:
[*] on the first [*] of Net Sales; and
[*] on Net Sales over [*] up to and including [*]; and
[*] on Net Sales over [*] up to and including [*]; and
[*] on Net Sales over [*] up to and including [*]; and
15
31, October 1996
[*] on the Net Sales in excess of [*].
5.3 Example of Calculation. For example, if Net Sales in the Territory for a
----------------------
Marketing Year total [*], the royalty to be paid by Lundbeck shall be [*]
on the first [*] Net Sales, or [*] plus [*] on Net Sales over [*] up to and
including [*], or [*] plus [*] on Net Sales over [*] up to and including
[*], or [*] plus [*] on Net Sales over [*] up to and including [*], or [*]
plus [*] on Net Sales over [*], or [*] for a total royalty of [*].
5.4 Conversion into DKK and then USD. Net Sales are to be calculated in local
--------------------------------
currencies for each of the countries in the Territory and shall be
converted into DKK based on the average of the purchase exchange rate for
currency conversion quoted by the Den Danske Bank on the first Copenhagen
banking day of the first month of each applicable Marketing Quarter and the
last Copenhagen banking day of the last month of each applicable Marketing
Quarter. If Den Danske Bank has no such exchange rate, the conversion
shall be made at the average rate as calculated above for such remittances
by Bank of America, San Francisco, CA, U.S.A. Prior to being paid to
Centaur, royalty amounts shall be converted from DKK into U.S. Dollars,
using the average of the purchase exchange rates for conversion from DKK to
USD on the first and last banking day of the applicable Marketing Quarter
as quoted by Den Danske Bank or, if such rate is not available, then a
quote by Bank of America, San Francisco, CA, U.S.A.
5.5 Lundbeck shall within forty-five (45) days from the last day of each
Marketing Quarter pay to Centaur the royalties due for that Marketing
Quarter and provide Centaur with a statement (the "Royalty Report")
showing the total Net Sales effected hereunder by Lundbeck during the
preceding Marketing Quarter in the Territory and all Net Sales shall be
segmented in each such report according to sales on a country-by-country
basis, including the rates of exchange used for conversion to DKK from the
currency in which such sales were made and from DKK to USD.
5.6 Royalty payments due to Centaur hereunder shall be made in United States
Dollars by wire transfer to the Bank of America or other such bank as
identified by Centaur. Bank fees charged by Den Danske Bank will be borne
by Lundbeck; bank fees charged by Bank of America will be borne by Centaur.
5.7 No multiple royalties shall be payable because a Licensed Product, its
manufacture, use or sale is or shall be covered by more than one of the
Licensed Patents licensed under this Agreement. Should a distributor being
an Independant Third Party be used to selling Licensed Product for
Lundbeck's account, royalties will be paid on distributor's Net Sales to
the end-user. No royalties shall be payable on sales between Lundbeck, its
Affiliates or sublicensees or between Lundbeck Affiliates and sublicensees
unless such sales are for use as opposed to resale by the purchasing party.
5.8 All taxes assessed or imposed against or required to be withheld from all
payments due
16
31, October 1996
Centaur shall be deducted from amounts payable hereunder and shall be paid
to appropriate fiscal or tax authorities by Lundbeck on behalf of Centaur.
Tax receipts received by Lundbeck evidencing payment of such taxes shall be
forwarded promptly to Centaur.
5.9 Royalty Rebate for Substantial Competition. On a country by country basis,
------------------------------------------
while the Basic Royalty is being paid, there will be a rebate if in a given
country Substantial Competition exists, which rebate will be [*] of
the smoothed royalty rate (SRR). For the purposes of calculating the SSR
the Net Sales in countries in which only the Trademark Royalty is being
paid (see Section 5.10) shall not be included. During each Marketing Year
the SRR will be computed by adding the sum of (a) [*] times the total
Territory Net Sales (excluding Net Sales in countries for which only
Trademark Royalties are paid) under [*], (b) [*] times the total Territory
Net Sales (excluding Net Sales in countries for which only Trademark
Royalties are paid) between [*] and [*], (c) [*] times the total Territory
Net Sales (excluding Net Sales in countries for which only Trademark
Royalties are paid) between [*] and [*], (d) [*] times the total Territory
Net Sales (excluding Net Sales in countries for which only Trademark
Royalties are paid) between [*] and [*], (e) [*] times the total Territory
Net Sales (excluding Net Sales in countries for which only Trademark
Royalties are paid) above [*], and dividing this total sum by the total Net
Sales in the Territory. [*] of the SRR will be multiplied by the Net Sales
from the country where Substantial Competition exists and that amount will
be subtracted from the royalty amount (based upon calculation using the
Basic Royalty) otherwise due from that country at the end of each Marketing
Year. The Royalty Rebate shall not affect the Basic Royalty computation.
For example, applying the figures of Section 5.3, if the SRR is [*] namely
[*] and if the Net Sales for the same Marketing Year in countries where
Substantial Competition exists totals [*], then the Royalty Rebate is [*]
and the total royalty to be paid by Lundbeck for such Marketing Year shall
be [*].
5.10 Duration of Royalty Payments; Duration of Patent Royalty; Trademark
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Royalty; Duration of Trademark Royalty.
--------------------------------------
(a) The Basic Royalty Rate will be paid on Net Sales in the Territory,
subject to subparagraph (b) below, until expiration of the Licensed
Patents. The Trademark Royalty will be paid on a country by country
basis until ten years after the last to expire of the Licensed Patents
in the Territory.
(b) The Basic Royalty (reduced, if appropriate, for Substantial
Competition rebates under Section 5.9 above and the creditability of
certain payments under Section 4.2 above) is to be paid until Licensed
Product is not protected by a patent containing a Valid Claim in a
country in the European Union, at which point in time, in that country
and in any other country where a Licensed Patent is not outstanding, a
royalty will be paid at the Trademark Royalty Rate, which will equal
[*] of Net Sales. Further, after this event occurs, in each country
in the Territory where Licensed Product is no longer protected by a
Licensed
17
31, October 1996
Patent containing a Valid Claim, [*]. If patent protection is
regained through filing of new patents with Valid Claims (i.e., new
Licensed Patents), the royalty rate will revert to the Basic Royalty
until expiration of such new patent.
5.11 Paid Up License. When Lundbeck no longer owes royalties to Centaur,
---------------
Lundbeck will have either a fully paid up sole and exclusive license to the
Trademark (but excluding any portion of Centaur's House-Xxxx), or Centaur
will transfer free of charge ownership to Lundbeck of the Trademark (but
excluding any portion of the Trademark which comprises Centaur's House-
Xxxx) for that country with Lundbeck as registered owner of the Trademark,
as determined mutually by Centaur and Lundbeck at that time after
consultation with their financial advisors in the most tax efficient way
for both parties. At the time when Lundbeck either has a sole and
exclusive license for the Trademark or ownership of same in a country, it
will be Lundbeck's responsibility to pay all costs for the maintenance and
defense of that Trademark. While Lundbeck is paying the Basic Royalty or
Trademark Royalty, Centaur will pay all costs for the maintenance and
defense of the Trademark in that country, provided, however, that if
Centaur determines that it is not in its financial interest to continue
paying such maintenance and defense costs, then at Centaur's discretion, it
may transfer to Lundbeck either a fully paid up exclusive license or
ownership of the Trademark in the country at which point Lundbeck will no
longer need to pay the [*] royalty, but will be responsible for all
maintenance and defense costs in that country.
5.12 Lundbeck Records. Lundbeck shall keep for a period of five (5) Marketing
----------------
Years following the year to which such records relate, full, true and
accurate books of accounts and other records containing all information and
data which may be necessary to ascertain and verify the royalties payable
to Centaur hereunder.
5.13 Centaur Audit. Centaur shall have the right to have such pertinent books
-------------
and records of Lundbeck inspected and examined at all reasonable times for
the purpose of determining the accuracy of payments made hereunder in
respect of a Royalty Report which is not more than five (5) years old.
Such inspection and examination shall be conducted by an independent,
certified public accountant selected by Centaur and to whom Lundbeck shall
have no reasonable objection. Such accountant shall not disclose to
Centaur any information except for information necessary to verify the
accuracy of the reports and payments made pursuant to this Agreement.
Results of such review shall be made available to both parties. If the
review reflects an underpayment, Lundbeck shall promptly remit to Centaur
any amounts due with interest calculated using the simple average of the
prime rate of interest as quoted by the Bank of America, San Francisco, CA,
USA on the date originally due and the date of remittance. If the
underpayment (excluding said interests) is equal to or greater than five
percent (5%) of the payments made by Lundbeck to Centaur for such period
under review, Lundbeck shall pay all costs of such review and audit.
6. STEERING COMMITTEE; JOINT PROJECT TEAM; DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND RELATED
ACTIVITIES
18
31, October 1996
6.1 The Steering Committee. Following the Date of Execution, the parties will
----------------------
form a Steering Committee composed of four individuals, with two
individuals designated by each of Lundbeck and Centaur, which will set
policy with regard to the Plan and its implementation. For example, the
Steering Committee is authorized to amend or modify the Plan (in writing),
to establish the budget for its implementation, and to determine the
overall strategy for development and non-clinical and clinical trial
efforts and continue until all Registrations for all countries in the
Territory and in the United States are obtained for Licensed Product. All
decisions of the Steering Committee will require the approval of three or
more members. The Steering Committee will meet, either in person or by
conference telephone call, at least once each calendar quarter. Should
meetings be in person, the locations will alternate between one chosen by
Lundbeck and one chosen by Centaur. Members of the Steering Committee may
invite guests to attend meetings, provided, however, that the other party
has no objection against such guests attending and that the party inviting
such guests shall obligate such guests to hold all Confidential Information
and Know-How in confidence at least to the same extent as the party itself
is obligated to hereunder. The members of the Steering Committee shall be
medicinally trained professionals with a scientific university degree.
6.2 The Joint Project Team and the Project Leaders. The Joint Project Team
----------------------------------------------
shall be composed of employees from both Lundbeck and Centaur. The Joint
Project Team shall consist of project responsible managers and staff, each
appointed by Lundbeck and Centaur respectively, who shall be responsible to
the Steering Committee for the day-to-day management of the project and
implementation of the Plan and any amendments thereto in accordance with
the policies established by the Steering Committee. Each of the parties
will further appoint a project leader (the "Project-Leader"), each of whom
will spend at least half of their time on this project. While as a general
guideline Lundbeck's Project Leader will have responsibility for clinical
and non-clinical activities performed by Lundbeck for Licensed Product in
all countries in the Territory and Centaur's Project Leader will have
responsibility for Centaur's research and development, Centaur's
identification of surrogate markers and Centaur's non-clinical and clinical
activities for Licensed Product in the United States, the ultimate decision
for the allocation of activities will be made by the Steering Committee.
The Project Leaders will communicate on an on-going basis and in any event
no less than an average of once every week either in person or by
telephone, fax or E-mail. Meetings of the Joint Project Team will be
arranged on an as needed basis as determined jointly by the Project
Leaders, with the location of successive meetings selected first by the
Lundbeck Project Leader and then by the Centaur Project Leader. Each party
may change its Project Leader by thirty (30) days prior written notice to
the other.
6.3 The Plan. Centaur and Lundbeck have jointly developed and attached as
--------
Annex B to this Agreement their development plan for the Licensed Product
(hereinafter the "Plan") and shall jointly prepare the relevant
documentation for applications for Registration and NDA. The intent of the
parties is that the Plan shall set forth all the non-clinical and clinical
activities and trials to be conducted by the parties specifying the timing
and finalization of each such study and of the reporting of any such study
hereunder and all other development activities to be conducted by the
parties hereto in connection with the
19
31, October 1996
development of the Licensed Product for application for Registration and
NDA. The Plan's aim is to satisfy the requirements of the health
authorities in the Territory and the FDA in a manner which maximizes
efficiency and minimizes cost. If the Plan itself does not specify which
party is to perform a study and/or activity, the Steering Committee shall
do so.
6.4 Review and, If Necessary, Revision of the Plan. The Plan will subsequently
----------------------------------------------
be discussed by the parties and/or the Steering Committee and with the
European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products or the European
Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products, in Lundbeck's option, and if
possible with the FDA. After such presentation to the said public
authorities, the Steering Committee shall in good faith discuss and, if so
agreed, amend the draft Plan in accordance with the directions and
suggestion made by the said public authorities and such amended Plan shall
after being approved in writing by Centaur and Lundbeck be regarded as the
final Plan and shall be considered the replacement Plan and should be
annexed to this Agreement as Annex B and shall after being so annexed be
regarded as an integral part of this Agreement. Should the activities of
the Plan prove to be inadequate for whatever reason for Lundbeck to obtain
Registration in the Territory or for Centaur to obtain US-Registration,
then the Steering Committee shall meet to revise the Plan to accomplish the
goals as set forth above.
6.5 Division of Costs. Costs of performance of the activities of the Plan
-----------------
shall be shared equally by Centaur and Lundbeck. Tasks pursued through an
Independent Third Party shall first be approved by the Steering Committee.
In the case of costs incurred internally by Lundbeck or Centaur, the
parties will first attempt to obtain a third party bid, if available to
perform that task. If such a third party bid is not available then
reimbursement shall be computed as set forth in 6.5.A. below.
A. Preclinical, Clinical, Non-clinical and Regulatory Costs. Costs for
---------------------------------------------------------
Preclinical, Clinical, Non-clinical and Regulatory efforts (including but
not limited to toxicological activities, formulation development,
activities to support pivotal efficacy and safety claims in regulatory
filings) will be shared equally by Lundbeck and Centaur for Registration in
the United States and such major countries in the European Union as
identified in Annex B. If the activities contemplated in the Plan show to
be inadequate to so obtain Registration in the United States and said major
countries in the European Union, the Steering Committee shall consider and
decide on the necessary amendments to the Plan and before costs for so
amended activities may be claimed by either party under this Section 6.5.
For Lundbeck or Centaur internally incurred Preclinical, Clinical, Non-
clinical and Regulatory costs, costs will be calculated as either (i) the
sum of the following, all determined in accordance with U.S. Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"):
a. Direct labor costs, including benefits; and
b. Direct materials costs, including animals, chemicals, supplies; and
c. Bulk Product costs (see definition of Standard Costs); and
d. Costs to conduct and monitor Preclinical, Clinical and Non-clinical
Activities,
20
31, October 1996
including but not limited to remuneration to patients, if any, product
liability insurance, transport charges of drug to test centers,
housing, food, care and monitoring of patients while at test centers,
and performance of clinical chemistries and pharmacokinetics; and
e. Costs to prepare and present reports to regulatory authorities; and
f. Indirect costs associated with conducting, monitoring and reporting on
Preclinical, Clinical and Non-clinical Activities, including but not
limited to consulting, travel, education seminars, etc.; and
g. A portion of Preclinical, Clinical and Non-clinical Activities
overhead, including but not limited to animal handing and animal
facilities costs, facilities, insurance, telephone and utilities costs
for space used in activities, depreciation, etc. allocated on the
basis of hours spent on performance of the activities of the Plan by
the Lundbeck/Centaur personnel working in the project contemplated in
this Section 6, relative to the total amount of hours spent by all
research and development personnel, but not considering general or
administrative personnel, of that party; and
h. A portion of administrative costs and other corporate overhead costs
which reasonably support Preclinical, Clinical and Non-clinical
Activities and Regulatory activities allocated on the basis of hours
spent on performance of the activities of the Plan by the
Lundbeck/Centaur personnel working in the project contemplated in this
Section 6, relative to the total amount of hours spent by all research
and development personnel, but not considering general or
administrative personnel, of that party;
or alternatively (ii) a party may substitute for the items in Section 6.5 A
(i) (a), (g) and (h) the following:
j. Standardized direct labor costs including a portion of Preclinical,
Clinical and Non-clinical Activities overhead, including but not
limited to animal handing and animal facilities costs, facilities,
insurance, telephone and utilities costs for space used in activities,
depreciation, etc. and a portion of administrative costs and other
corporate overhead costs which reasonably support Preclinical,
Clinical and Non-clinical Activities and Regulatory activities all to
be allocated on the basis of hours spent on performance of the
activities of the Plan by the Lundbeck/Centaur personnel working in
the project contemplated in this Section 6, relative to the total
amount of hours spent by all research and development personnel, but
not considering general and administrative personnel, of that party;
such standardized direct labor costs including overheads shall be
calculated by using one standard rate for academic personnel and one
standard rate for non-academic personnel such rates to reflect a fair
average of such labor costs, including benefits, and said overheads,
these standard rates to be approved by the other party in advance of
being applied and to be adjusted in accordance with the relevant labor
price index as evidenced by the relevant party and approved by the
other party.
21
31, October 1996
The parties shall be free to choose which of the mechanisms for calculation
set forth in (i) and (ii) above it will apply and shall notify the other in
writing in advance of initiation of the first activity under the Plan, and
the parties may change to the other mechanism and vice versa for each new
activity undertaken under the Plan after having notified the other party
before it initiates this new activity.
B. Settlement of Expenditures. After the end of each calendar quarter,
--------------------------
Lundbeck and Centaur will review the actual expenditures made by each of
Lundbeck and Centaur in performing the activities of the Plan. Within
forty-five (45) days after the end of that quarter, the party whose
expenditures were greater than the other will pay to the other an amount
equal to half of that excess.
C. Records. Both parties shall keep for a period of five (5) calendar years
-------
following the year to which such records relate, full, true and accurate
books of accounts and other records containing all information and data
which may be necessary to ascertain and verify the expenditures paid or
defrayed by it under this Section 6.5.
D. Audit. The other party shall have the right to have such pertinent books
-----
and records set out in Section 6.5 C of the other party inspected and
examined at all reasonable times for the purpose of determining the
accuracy of any payment made hereunder in respect of such expenditures
which are not paid and/or defrayed more than five (5) years before the
request for inspection. Such inspection and examination shall be conducted
by an independent, certified public accountant selected by the party
requesting the audit and to whom the other party shall have no reasonable
objection. Such accountant shall not disclose to the party requesting the
audit any information except for information necessary to verify the
accuracy of the reports and payments made pursuant to this Agreement.
Results of such review shall be made available to both parties. If the
review reflects any wrongful payment, the relevant party shall promptly
remit to the other party any amounts due with interest calculated using the
prime rate if interest as quoted by the Bank of America, San Francisco, CA,
USA on the date of remittance. If the wrongful payment (excluding said
interests) is equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the total costs
paid or defrayed by either party for such period under review, the party
not having requested the audit shall pay all costs of such review and
audit.
E. Early NDA/Application for Registration. Activities conducted under the Plan
--------------------------------------
shall remain covered by this Section 6.5 irrespective of application for
Registration or an NDA has been filed prior to the relevant activity being
commenced.
F. Budget. A party that is to perform an activity under the Plan shall no
------
later than at the time it presents to the Steering Committee the activity
for approval for initiation as set forth in Section 6.6 present a budget
for the expected costs to be incurred in connection with the relevant
activity, and the Steering Committee shall have authority to approve such
budget. If such budget is later exceeded by the greater of 10 % of such
budget or USD 10,000, the party performing the relevant activity shall
inform the Steering Committee accordingly, and the Steering Committee shall
authorize such excess, before this may be claimed under this Section 6.5 by
the party having performed the relevant activity.
22
31, October 1996
6.6 Initiation of Activities. From the Date of Execution, no activities under
------------------------
the Plan will be initiated without approval of the protocol by the Steering
Committee at regularly scheduled meetings of or through written approvals
of Steering Committee.
6.7 Centaur shall supply Lundbeck with all Synthesis Data and all the clinical
and non-clinical data pertinent to CPI-1189 and/or Licensed Product useful,
pertinent or required for regulatory purposes in the Territory for Primary
Indication available as of Date of Execution free of charge. Each party
shall when performing activities under the Plan supply to the other party's
Project Leader the data developed as a part of the activities under or
outside the Plan pertinent to Licensed Product in hard copy and in
computer format agreed by the Steering Committee. No party shall deny a
reasonable request from the other party for such data.
6.8 All activities conducted by Centaur and Lundbeck under the Plan, including
all activities and trials with Licensed Product, shall be carried out
according to the Plan and under common and agreed criteria for protocol
writing, selection of contract research organizations and Good Clinical
Practice, Good Manufacturing Practice and Good Laboratory Practice
guidelines as currently applicable in both the Territory and the United
States of America. The Steering Committee shall agree mutually to the
initiation and subsequent monitoring and modification of all activities
conducted under the Plan. With regard to CPI-1189 activities Centaur has
performed prior to the Date of Execution, Centaur will repeat or supplement
any of those activities rejected by regulatory authorities in the European
Union countries being a part of the Territory until such activities are
accepted by the said regulatory authorities or it is not commercially
practicable to do so, in which latter case Lundbeck may conduct the
relevant activities for Centaur's account applying Section 6.10 mutatis
mutandis.
6.9 Lundbeck will prepare the relevant documentation for an application for
Registration with the health authorities in the parts of the Territory that
it wishes to pursue its rights granted hereunder and, solely in its own
name, apply for Registration of Licensed Product in its own name and shall
remain the sole holder of the Registration in the Territory, subject to
Section 13.2 below. If one year after Lundbeck has received the first
Approval for Sale in the European Union, Lundbeck has failed to so apply
for Registration in any of the countries in the Territory, or, if local
studies are required or customarily made in any country in the Territory,
Lundbeck has not within one year after having received the said first
Approval for Sale initiated such studies and has not within one year after
completion of such studies applied for Registration in any of such
countries in the Territory, then that country will be deemed excluded from
the Territory and all rights to Licensed Product in that country (including
the right to market) will revert to Centaur.
6.10 The parties shall use best reasonable efforts to conduct the development of
the Licensed Product in accordance with the activities and timetable set
forth in the Plan.
If a party is unable for reasons within its control (for reasons beyond its
control refer to Section 6.11) to reach a milestone or to initiate, conduct
or complete a study referred to in the Plan by a date set forth in the
Plan, the Project Leader of the party not in compliance
23
31, October 1996
with the Plan shall without delay inform the other Project Leader hereof.
The Joint Project Team, or if either party so requests the Steering
Committee, shall convene to discuss how the problems can be resolved. If
either the milestone or the study has not been reached or completed or the
parties have not agreed upon a solution to the problems within six (6)
months from the date in question, the other party may decide to initiate,
conduct and/or complete (or have initiated, conducted and/or completed) the
relevant activity by paying the costs for or internally perform the
necessary activities under the Plan and by requiring the other party to
compensate its costs in this connection as assessed in accordance with the
principles of Section 6.5 hereof applying the following mechanism:
If Lundbeck is the party not having complied with the Plan as set out in
this Sub-section, then after having completed the relevant activities
Centaur may forward a statement setting forth the tasks carried out and a
supporting invoice on the said costs in the amount that Lundbeck is to pay
under Section 6.5, which Lundbeck shall pay within thirty (30) days of
invoice.
If Centaur is the party not having complied with the Plan as set out in
this Sub-section, then after having completed the relevant activities
Lundbeck may forward a statement setting forth the tasks carried out and a
supporting invoice on the said costs that Centaur is to pay under Section
6.5, and Centaur shall have the option either (i) to pay this invoice
within thirty (30) days, or (ii) to request within the same period Lundbeck
to apply this invoice with accrued interests (applying the interest rate
set forth in Section 5.13) in any following payment to Centaur hereunder
under Section 4 and/or 5 until the invoice and the interests are recovered
in full by Lundbeck through the reduced payments.
This right to claim compensation as provided for in this Sub-section shall
be the sole and exclusive remedy for such failure to reach a milestone or
initiate, conduct and/or complete a study.
6.11 In the event a party is unable due to Force Majeure, to reach a milestone
or complete a study set forth in the Plan, the parties shall meet and
discuss why the milestone or the study has not been reached or completed
and will agree as to the actions to be taken to obtain Registration in the
Territory or US Registration as quickly as possible.
6.12 Procedure For Presentation of Study Documentation. All non-clinical and
-------------------------------------------------
clinical studies and reports on such activities to be conducted under the
Plan shall be discussed and closely liaised between the two Project
Leaders, before being initiated by either party as set forth in the Plan.
This shall include that the party that is to perform an activity under the
Plan through its Project Leader shall send to the other party the study
protocol and the first draft study report respectively and allow the other
party's Project Leader to comment on each protocol and report.
6.13 Information On Development Status. Both parties shall quarterly and within
---------------------------------
15 days of the other party's reasonable request, advise the other party in
writing of the status of their work under the Plan and any activity
conducted under Section 6.14. Furthermore, they shall immediately upon
request send the requesting party copies of all written material prepared
according to the obligations hereunder, including but not limited to
24
31, October 1996
correspondence and minutes of meetings with any public health authorities.
6.14 Activities Outside Plan. All non-clinical or clinical activities relating
-----------------------
to CPI-1189 and/or Licensed Products outside the Plan, which are performed
by either party, their Affiliates or Independent Third Parties anywhere in
the world before Registration in the Territory, shall be disclosed and
discussed between the parties or by the Steering Committee and approved,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, by the parties
before initiated by either party provided the other party or the Steering
Committee forwards its comments and decision on approval within one (1)
month of receipt of the protocol. If an approval is not received by such
one (1) month deadline, it is acknowledged that the other party consents to
initiation of the study. On all non-clinical and clinical activities both
parties shall send the other party a first draft report and allow the other
party to comment on each report, provided that such comments are submitted
to issuing party within one (1) month from receipt of such draft report by
the Receiving Party and all of the Receiving Party's reasonable comments
shall be included in the final report.
6.15 All costs and/or expenses arising or incurred in connection with
preparation and filing of the application for Registration in the Territory
and maintenance of Lundbeck's Registration in the Territory shall be borne
by Lundbeck, unless Centaur has expressly agreed to the costs or that
Centaur is not otherwise to bear under this Agreement., and similarly
Centaur shall bear all costs and/or expenses in connection with the
preparation and filing of the application for US Registration or medical
registration worldwide that Lundbeck is not otherwise to bear under this
Agreement.
6.16 Neither Centaur nor Lundbeck warrants that Registration of the Licensed
Product will be obtained in or outside the Territory.
6.17 Should Centaur license CPI-1189 to another party outside of the Territory,
and that other party determines that non-clinical or clinical activities
are necessary for regulatory approval in its territory, Centaur will
provide in the license that it (Centaur) will at a minimum be able to
review, comment on and reject those non-clinical and clinical trials.
Centaur will provide an opportunity for Lundbeck to review and comment on
those non-clinical and clinical trials as follows. Centaur will inform
Lundbeck of the non-clinical and clinical activities being conducted by its
licensee and describe those trials. Lundbeck will have fifteen days (15)
after having received the information reasonably necessary for evaluation
to provide Centaur with its comments in writing. If Lundbeck fails to
provide such written comments within that fifteen day (15) period, it will
be assumed that it has no comments. If Lundbeck has comments, Centaur will
incorporate them into its comments to its licensee. In no event shall
Lundbeck initiate any contact with Centaur's licensee in connection with
its review and comment on such non-clinical and clinical trials. All
information given by Centaur to Lundbeck relating to the activities of its
licensee will be deemed Confidential Information.
6.18 Dispute Resolution. If a disagreement arises between the Project Leaders,
------------------
it shall be referred to the Steering Committee for resolution.
Disagreements, if any, which may arise between the respective parties'
representatives in the Steering Committee shall be amicably resolved
whenever possible. In the event the Steering Committee is deadlocked,
25
31, October 1996
the matter shall be referred to the President of each of Centaur and
Lundbeck for resolution who must either resolve or determine how to resolve
the situation or if necessary the overall relationship. Other disputes will
be resolved in accordance with Section 16 below.
6.19 Centaur Development Partner in Japan. Should Centaur determine to contract
------------------------------------
with an Independent Third Party as a development partner for Licensed
Products for registration, promotion or sales in Japan (as opposed to
contracting with an Independent Third Party to merely distribute Licensed
Product in Japan not to conduct non-clinical or clinical activities), then
Centaur will consult with Lundbeck and take into consideration Lundbeck's
views regarding that Independent Third Party and its capabilities, such
Independent Third Party to be a leading pharmaceutical company experienced
in international pharmaceutical development. Lundbeck will be free to
suggest alternative Independent Third Parties to Centaur. Centaur shall
consider and take in to due consideration Lundbeck's views prior to making
a final decision regarding with which company to contract with emphasis on
the objective that such Independent Third Party shall conduct development
activities and establish adverse event reporting systems that will be
consistent with those set out in this Agreement.
7. MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY
7.1 Overview. The parties will on a regular basis coordinate and exchange
--------
information related to producing Bulk Product and Bulk Substance. Lundbeck
and Centaur will communicate and collaborate with regard to manufacturing
processes and costs. Lundbeck may audit Centaur's manufacturing facility
from a financial and manufacturing perspective, and will be given the
opportunity to provide comments and suggestions to Centaur to improve
efficiency and reduce the cost of the Bulk Product and, if Lundbeck
manufactures, vice versa. Regardless, Centaur will be responsible for the
quality of the Bulk Product it produces.
Centaur will unless otherwise agreed supply the Bulk Product and/or Bulk
Substance for galenic (experimental), non-clinical and clinical for its own
use and will supply the Bulk Product for commercial use (including without
limitation use for promotional purposes) meeting quality standards as set
forth below. "Bulk Product for commercial use" shall when used in this
Section 7 mean all Bulk Product which is used by Lundbeck in Licensed
Products that are transferred to an Independent Third Party such transfer
being a part of the Net Sales. Centaur, in consultation with and with the
approval of Lundbeck shall establish a back-up supplier for the Territory
for supplies of Bulk Product for commercial use, which back-up supplier may
also serve as a back-up supplier for outside of the Territory. Should the
parties not be able to agree on a back-up supplier, then, until they do so,
if at all, Lundbeck will serve as back-up supplier for the Territory.
Additionally, even if the parties agree on a back-up supplier, Lundbeck
may, by providing eighteen (18) months prior written notice to Centaur,
become the back-up supplier of Bulk Product for commercial use for the
Territory. Should Lundbeck become back-up supplier for the Territory, it
will provide up to 10% (the exact amount to be coordinated by the parties,
with sensitivity to Lundbeck's production scheduling) of the requirements
of Bulk Product for
26
31, October 1996
commercial use for the Territory.
Lundbeck will supply Bulk Substance and/or Bulk Product for its own galenic
(experimental), non-clinical and clinical use except for the initial period
of this Agreement until Lundbeck is capable of manufacturing Bulk Substance
and/or Bulk Product during which initial period Centaur will supply
Lundbeck Bulk Substance and/or Bulk Product as required to duly initiate
and conduct the activities under the Plan. Lundbeck will prepare the
necessary documentation for deliveries of Bulk Substance and/or Bulk
Product according to European Union and FDA requirements for experimental
use. In addition, Lundbeck will prepare documentation for full scale
commercial manufacturing in the Territory. Should the other party so
request due to insufficiency of its own such supplies and if agreed to by
the other party, the parties will supply each other with amounts of Bulk
Substance and/or Bulk Product for development purposes.
7.2 Non-Clinical and Clinical Supply. Centaur undertakes to manufacture and
--------------------------------
supply Bulk Product and/or Bulk Substance for Lundbeck's initial galenic
(experimental), non-clinical use, which shall include supplies in the
amounts and at the times stipulated and contemplated in the Plan and Annex
B until Lundbeck is itself ready to supply its own needs which is expected
mid-1997. Subsequent to this initial period, Lundbeck undertakes to
manufacture or have manufactured and supply Bulk Product and/or Bulk
Substance for its own galenic (experimental), non-clinical and clinical
use. Both parties shall continuously after mid-1997 use their reasonable
efforts to supply to the other party amounts of Bulk Product and/or Bulk
Substance for the galenic (experimental), non-clinical and clinical use
should the other party so request due to insufficiency of its own such
supplies. For supplies under this Section 7.2 the supplied party shall pay
the SMP as set out in Section 7.6, without Lundbeck paying the fifty
percent (50%) set forth in Section 7.19.
7.3 Drug Master Files. Lundbeck and Centaur will in parallel and in close
-----------------
cooperation prepare and regularly update (i) drug master files regarding
manufacturing processes (known as "DMF 2") and regarding facilities (known
as "DMF 1") for Bulk Substance for development purposes to be filed with
and to comply with both standards directed by FDA and regulatory
authorities in the Territory (the "DMF's"), and (ii) chemical
manufacturing control (known as "CMC")-documentation, including but not
limited to documentation on formulation of tablets being Licensed Products,
to be filed with and to comply with the standards of the regulatory
authorities in the Territory (the "CMC-documentation"). The DMF's and the
CMC-documentation shall be made available to the other party within a
reasonable time after such is available and upon the reasonable request by
the other part. The DMF's and the CMC-documentation shall be regarded as
part of Synthesis Data and shall be made available at no additional charge
to the other party other than that the costs for preparing these files
shall be included by the parties in the costs recoverable in accordance
with Section 6.5.
7.4 Supply of Commercial Bulk Product. Centaur undertakes to manufacture or
---------------------------------
have manufactured and supply Bulk Product to Lundbeck for commercial use in
Licensed Product, and Lundbeck undertakes to purchase from Centaur all Bulk
Product needed by Lundbeck for commercial use in Licensed Product to be
sold throughout the Territory subject to Lundbeck's right to produce Bulk
Product as set forth in this Section 7.
27
31, October 1996
7.5 Regulatory Clearance.
--------------------
A. Centaur to Secure Regulatory Approvals. Centaur will use its best
--------------------------------------
reasonable efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals necessary for the
manufacture or supply of Bulk Product for Licensed Products in the
Territory, which shall be obtained in due time to avoid any delay in
Lundbeck's launch and marketing of Licensed Products as reasonably notified
by Lundbeck, and Centaur shall promptly provide Lundbeck with such
information regarding the manufacture and quality control of Bulk Product
for Licensed Products necessary to permit Lundbeck to seek marketing
approval of Licensed Products in the Territory. The undertaking by Centaur
shall include, without limitation, the following within the said
time-limit:
(a) Manufacturing Approval. Centaur will prepare a Plant Master File for
----------------------
Bulk Product containing all relevant Synthesis Data (collectively the
"Documentation") in accordance with the requirements as applicable at
any time of relevant regulatory authorities in the Territory and the
United States.
(b) Right of Reference. Centaur will provide to all regulatory
------------------
authorities in the Territory and/or to Lundbeck (i) on filing of its
Plant Master File, and thereafter for new filings, (ii) at the time of
submission of an NDA, any statement or other document necessary or
appropriate to permit and authorize Lundbeck or Lundbeck's
sublicensees or Affiliates to cross-reference Centaur's Drug Master
File or Plant Master File when and as deemed necessary by Lundbeck for
regulatory authorities in the Territory.
(c) Good Manufacturing Practices And Quality Requirements. Centaur will
-----------------------------------------------------
undertake such steps to achieve, with respect to Bulk Product,
manufacturing compliance with "Good Manufacturing Practices"
guidelines as in effect in any part of the Territory from time to time
during this Agreement. The parties shall no later than six (6) months
before the first firm order as set forth in Section 7.10 is
anticipated by Lundbeck to be placed by it execute an agreement which
is on all material terms substantially identical with Annex C hereto,
which Annex C shall be amended to properly reflect the revised
specifications of Licensed Product.
(d) Regulatory Inspection. Should any national, supra-national or
---------------------
international regulatory authority give notice of intent to conduct an
inspection at Centaur's manufacturing plant or the plant of any sub-
contractor of Centaur or take any other regulatory action with respect
to the manufacture and supply of Bulk Product, Centaur will promptly
give Lundbeck notice thereof, supply all information pertinent thereto
and grant access to such authorities as required.
(e) Contact With Regulatory Authorities. Centaur will be responsible for
-----------------------------------
all contacts with the regulatory authorities with respect to the
Documentation after it has been submitted to the relevant authority
and will continuously keep the Documentation updated (with copies to
Lundbeck) with respect to developments and changes in production
methods, quality, specifications or in other respects of Bulk Product,
28
31, October 1996
provided that such changes shall be made only to the extent this is
consistent with this Agreement, including without limitation Annex C.
(f) Regulatory Approval - Licensed Product. Centaur will use its best
--------------------------------------
reasonable efforts to assist Lundbeck in providing to regulatory
authorities all information with respect to the manufacture or quality
control of Bulk Product necessary for regulatory approval of Licensed
Products in the Territory.
(g) Reference Standard. Centaur shall provide Lundbeck from time to time
------------------
with reasonable quantities of Bulk Product of reference standard
quality for analytical purposes free of charge.
(h) Centaur To Inform Lundbeck. With respect to Centaur's undertakings
--------------------------
set forth in this Section 7.5, Centaur shall regularly inform Lundbeck
of the status of such undertakings including, without limitation, the
preparation and progress of Documentation.
B. Collaborative Effort. Lundbeck and Centaur will collaborate closely and
--------------------
regularly with each other in the performance of their respective
undertakings pursuant to Section 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 and shall provide
documents in their possession which would assist the other party with
respect to such obligations. The Steering Committee may decide to engage in
these collaborative efforts in furtherance of an optimal solution to
questions emerging.
C. Where Lundbeck Manufactures. As provided for above if Lundbeck makes
---------------------------
clinical supplies to Centaur and for below if Lundbeck is the "back-up
supplier" in accordance with Sections 7.1, 7.19 7.20, 7.21 and 13.9, it
will manufacture a portion of the Bulk Product necessary to serve the
market in the Territory. To the extent that Lundbeck is explicitly
required to perform any of the activities described in this Section 7, then
its obligations will be the same as the obligations of Centaur as described
above, and Lundbeck will similarly be required to keep Centaur informed,
all as if the word "Lundbeck" were substituted for "Centaur" and vice versa
in the provisions above.
7.6 Price of Bulk Product. Lundbeck will after Registration purchase all
---------------------
(subject to Lundbeck's own production described in this Section 7) Bulk
Product, at the Standard Manufacturing Price ("SMP"). The SMP shall equal
[*] of Standard Costs, which includes costs of production, quality control,
quality assurance, handling, shipping and warehousing. Standard Costs shall
equal the sum of A through E below:
A. Active and inactive raw materials and Bulk Products at purchase price
B. Finishing supplies at purchase price
C. Full direct labor costs including benefits costs
D. Variable overheads (variable overheads include the expenses generated
within a production department such as wages and benefits of indirect
labor, indirect operating supplies, etc.)
E. Fixed overheads (fixed overheads include those expenses necessary to
run a particular manufacturing site (e.g. plant administration, taxes,
insurance,
29
31, October 1996
depreciation, repairs and maintenance) and are allocated to product
based on its share of total direct labor hours, machine hours, cycle
time and/or volume of end product)
Provided, however, that in calculating Standard Costs, the sum of items D
and E shall not exceed [*] of the sum of items A, B and C.
If Centaur sources Bulk Product from a third party, the price charged to
Lundbeck for such Bulk Product will be as if the Bulk Product was
manufactured by Centaur, i.e., the SMP, using Centaur's average Standard
Costs for the last three deliveries of Bulk Product of Centaur origin to
Lundbeck.
If Centaur sources Bulk Product from a third party without having sourced
Bulk Product itself for the preceding twelve (12) months before the date of
relevant delivery to Lundbeck hereunder, the price charged to Lundbeck for
such Bulk Product will be the actual price charged to Centaur by the second
supplier for the Bulk Product in question plus [*] always provided that the
price so charged by the second supplier does not exceed the price otherwise
charged to Centaur by the same supplier for other similar supplies as per
Centaur's written evidence should Lundbeck so request.
Should Centaur ever purchase Bulk Product or Bulk Substance whether for
non-commercial or commercial use and/or finished Licensed Product from
Lundbeck, it shall pay to Lundbeck Lundbeck's SMP price as calculated
above.
7.7 Use of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP), Records
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
and Audit.
---------
A U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP will be used in determining the components items A
---------
through E in Section 7.6. The parties will have their accounting personnel
communicate and coordinate to avoid any uncertainty and differences in
understanding.
B. Records. Both parties shall keep for a period of five (5) calendar years
--------
following the year to which such records relate, full, true and accurate
books of accounts and other records containing all information and data
which may be necessary to ascertain and verify the SMP calculated under
Section 7.6.
C. Audit. The other party shall have the right to have such pertinent books
-----
and records set out in Section 7.7 B of the other party inspected and
examined at all reasonable times for the purpose of determining the
accuracy of any payment made hereunder in respect of the SMP which are not
charged more than three (3) years before the request for inspection. Such
inspection and examination shall be conducted by an independent, certified
public accountant selected by the party requesting the audit and to whom
the other party shall have no reasonable objection. Such accountant shall
not disclose to the party requesting the audit any information except for
information necessary to verify the accuracy of the reports and payments
made pursuant to this Agreement. Results of such review shall be made
available to both parties. If the review reflects any wrongful payment,
the relevant party shall promptly remit to the other party any amounts due
with interest calculated using the simple average of the prime rate if
interest as quoted by the Bank of America, San
30
31, October 0000
Xxxxxxxxx, XX, XXX on the date of the amount being originally due and the
date of remittance. If the wrongful payment (excluding said interests) is
equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the total costs paid or
defrayed by either party for such period under review, the party not having
requested the audit shall pay all costs of such review and audit.
7.8 Minimizing Manufacturing Costs. Centaur shall use its best reasonable
------------------------------
efforts at all times to minimize Standard Cost while maintaining acceptable
quality standards. If Lundbeck allege that Centaur's Standard Costs are
too high, Centaur will have the burden of proving that its Standard Costs
are not too high.
7.9 Forecast. Lundbeck will, before each January 1, April 1, July 1 and
--------
October 1, present to Centaur a written non-binding forecast estimating the
quantities of Bulk Product to be delivered during each of the next fifteen
(15) months.
7.10 Firm Orders. Lundbeck will place firm orders for delivery not less than
-----------
ninety (90) days prior to the required shipment date, and Centaur will be
obliged to deliver all ordered Bulk Product by the delivery date stated in
the order, except to the extent that such supply would exceed the latest
non-binding forecast given by more than twenty percent (20%) for the month
in question.
7.11 Delivery Terms. Each delivery of Bulk Product will be effected Ex Works
--------------
Centaur's plant, in accordance with Incoterms 1990, as published by the
International Chamber of Commerce. All quantities of Bulk Product will be
delivered suitably packed for transportation. If so requested by Lundbeck,
Centaur will act as Lundbeck's agent free of charge, except that such
expenses may be included in the calculation of SMP, to make arrangements
based upon Lundbeck's instructions for shipping and to prepare export
documentation for the Bulk Product to such destination as Lundbeck may
specify. Lundbeck will be responsible for all other arrangements including
payment for shipping and customs at destination.
7.12 Payment for Bulk Product. Prior to the beginning of any calendar quarter
------------------------
(starting on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1) Lundbeck will
estimate the amount of Bulk Product that Lundbeck will purchase from
Centaur and Lundbeck will pay to Centaur in advance (using the definitions
in Section 7.6) and forecast actual costs for that quarter. After that
quarter ends, Lundbeck and Centaur will review the actual amount Lundbeck
purchased and Centaur's actual costs within forty-five (45) days of the end
of that quarter, should Lundbeck's advance payment have been greater than
the SMP of the actual amount it purchased, Centaur will refund to Lundbeck
the difference, or should Lundbeck's advance payment have been less than
the SMP of the actual amount it purchased, Lundbeck will pay to Centaur the
difference.
7.13 Lundbeck Improvements to Know-How. In the event that Lundbeck develops
---------------------------------
improvements to Know-How and/or Synthesis Data, such improvements will be
shared cost free with Centaur, which shall be free to use said improvements
in its own manufacture of Bulk Product or Bulk Substance, unless Lundbeck
can establish that such improvements can be used independent from Centaur
Know-How and/or Synthesis Data
31
31, October 1996
and, if so, the parties shall, if Centaur so wishes, in good faith
negoatiate terms for a license to Centaur of such improvements. If Centaur
and Lundbeck jointly develop patents relating to the manufacturing of Bulk
Product and/or Bulk Substance and/or Licensed Products, those patents will
be jointly owned and Lundbeck will not be required to pay any royalties for
their use.
7.14 Notification of Events Concerning Supply. Centaur shall continuously at any
----------------------------------------
time unless having declared Force Majeure under Section 14 after the
Registration of the first formulation of Licensed Product has been obtained
in the Territory and for the term of this Section 7 hold a buffer of Bulk
Product equivalent to not less than fifty (50) days average delivery to
Lundbeck based on the deliveries in the last six (6) months. Centaur will
promptly notify Lundbeck of any circumstances that may be of importance as
to Centaur's ability to supply Lundbeck with Bulk Product. In the event
Lundbeck should commence manufacture of Bulk Product as provided herein,
Centaur will support Lundbeck in setting up a well functioning production,
e.g., by furnishing Lundbeck with information, know-how, Synthesis Data and
advice regarding processing and choice of machinery, equipment etc.
7.15 Lundbeck Inspection. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of each
-------------------
shipment and before Bulk Product is put into further production, whichever
is first to occur, Lundbeck shall carry out customary tests and inspections
as required by the regulatory authorities in the Territory. Should any
quantity of Bulk Product be found not to conform with the Specifications,
Centaur shall, at its sole cost, replace the defective quantity without
delay and no later than thirty (30) days of receipt of Lundbeck's notice to
this effect, provided that Lundbeck has notified Centaur of such non-
conformity within sixty (60) days following receipt of the defective
quantity of Bulk Product.
7.16 Changes in Manufacturing Process. No changes shall be made in the
--------------------------------
processes or specifications used in producing Bulk Product for Licensed
Product without agreement by both parties. If such changes are required
for regulatory reasons, neither party shall unreasonably withhold its
consent to such changes. The parties shall enter into an Agreement for the
manufacturing of Bulk Product substantially similar to that attached as
Annex C.
7.17 Term. Lundbeck's obligation to purchase Bulk Product for commercial use in
----
accordance with this Section 7 shall commence as of the Date of Execution
and, subject to Section 7.22 below, shall expire on a country by country
basis in the Territory when there is no patent protection of CPI-1189
prohibiting an Independent Third Party from the legal or actual
manufacturing and distribution of Bulk Product in a given country. The
parties shall in reasonable time before such patent protection expires
start to re-negotiate delivery terms, with a preference given by Lundbeck
to Centaur over any other party offering substantially similar terms and
conditions.
7.18 Back-Up Supplier.
----------------
(a) Appointment. Centaur, in consultation and collaboration with and with
-----------
the approval of Lundbeck shall establish a back-up supplier for Bulk
Product for commercial use for the Territory, which back-up supplier
may also serve as a back-up supplier for
32
31, October 1996
outside of the Territory. Centaur shall no later than twenty-four
months after the Date of Execution suggest to Lundbeck such a back-up
supplier to which Lundbeck may agree or disagree. If Lundbeck approves
any such back-up supplier, it shall be consistent with the provisions
of the manufacturing agreement between Centaur and Lundbeck attached
as Annex C hereto. These obligations will apply only to a back-up
supplier who will be producing Bulk Product for the Territory.
(b) Failure to Agree on Back-Up Supplier or Uncertainty of Supply. If
-------------------------------------------------------------
Centaur and Lundbeck cannot agree on a back-up supplier within three
(3) months of Centaur suggesting a back-up supplier to Lundbeck in
accordance with subparagraph (a) immediately above, then Lundbeck,
until they do, if at all, shall have the right, but not the obligation
to manufacture Bulk Product itself as a back-up supplier for the
Territory and in accordance with Section 7.19 below. Additionally,
even if the parties agree on a back-up supplier, Lundbeck may, by
providing eighteen (18) months prior written notice to Centaur become
back-up supplier of Bulk Product for the Territory.
(c) May Choose Back-Up Supplier At Any Time. Should Lundbeck become back-
---------------------------------------
up supplier for the Territory, the parties may still at any time agree
another back-up supplier and then, transfer the back-up supply
obligations from Lundbeck to such other party.
7.19 Lundbeck's Manufacture of Bulk Product. Should Lundbeck determine to
--------------------------------------
become a back-up supplier for the Territory in accordance with Section
7.18, then Lundbeck shall be entitled under Lundbeck's Non-exclusive
License to manufacture up to ten percent (10%) of Lundbeck's (or Lundbeck's
Affiliates and sublicensees) total requirement of Bulk Product for
commercial use (the exact amount to be coordinated by the parties with
sensitivity to Lundbeck's production scheduling). Notwithstanding such
manufacture by Lundbeck, Lundbeck shall, other than for Bulk Product
covered by the provisions of Sections 7.2, 7.20 and 13.9(b) pay to Centaur
with respect to such manufacture, an amount equal to fifty (50) percent of
Centaur's Standard Costs as if such Bulk Product had been manufactured by
Centaur.
7.20 Force Majeure - Manufacture.
---------------------------
(a) Lundbeck Right to Manufacture. Centaur will notify Lundbeck as
-----------------------------
promptly as at all practicable of any Force Majeure event. In the
event Centaur shall, for reasons of Force Majeure (as defined in
Section 14.1 below but without regard to the time periods stated
therein), be unable to supply Lundbeck (or Lundbeck's Affiliates or
sublicensees) with its requirements of Bulk Product for commercial
use, Lundbeck will be free to manufacture or have manufactured Bulk
Product to satisfy its requirements and, if Lundbeck in its sole
discretion determines to do so and if so requested by Centaur,
Centaur's requirements for Bulk Product as well. Lundbeck will pay to
Centaur with respect to such manufacture no part of Centaur's Standard
Costs or SMP.
33
31, October 1996
(b) Centaur May Recommence Manufacture; If Centaur Does Not Recommence
----------------------------------
Manufacture. Within one hundred twenty days (120) of the first
occurrence of the Force Majeure event (as defined in Section 14 below
but without regard to the time periods stated therein), Centaur will
provide written notice to Lundbeck if it intends to attempt to
recommence manufacture of Bulk Product. If Centaur states that it
will not recommence manufacture, or it is unable to do so within one
year from the end of this one hundred twenty (120) day period, then
Lundbeck may continue to manufacture all of its requirements for Bulk
Product in the Territory. At any time thereafter, should Centaur be
able to recommence manufacture of Bulk Product, it may do so upon one
hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to Lundbeck and the
parties will resume their prior obligations to supply and purchase of
Bulk Product as from the time that supplies are actually recommenced
using the pricing scheme set out in Section 7.6. Should Centaur
recommence manufacture after such one hundred eighty (180) day prior
written notice and Lundbeck still have in inventory Bulk Product which
it has not sold, then Centaur will purchase such stocks (inventory) of
Bulk Product from Lundbeck at a price equal to fifty (50%) of
Lundbeck's SMP, and Centaur shall have the right to sell and Lundbeck
shall have the obligation to purchase, any Bulk Product so purchased
at 100% of Centaur's SMP.
7.21 Discretionary Lundbeck Supply of Centaur. Should Centaur not be able to
----------------------------------------
manufacture Bulk Product for commercial use for any reason, force majeure
or otherwise it may ask Lundbeck to supply all or part of Centaur's needs
for Bulk Product but Lundbeck, in its sole discretion, may refuse to do so.
If Lundbeck agrees to do so the provisions above relating to Lundbeck's
manufacturing of Bulk Product shall apply.
7.22 Default of Supply Obligation. Failure by either party to comply with any
----------------------------
of its material obligations contained in this Section 7 concerning
Manufacturing and Supply following notice and opportunity to cure, as
hereinafter provided (a "Default") shall not be governed by the provisions
of Section 13.4 below but rather by this Section 7.22. The non-defaulting
party shall give the other party notice specifying the nature of the breach
of this Section 7 and requiring it to cure such breach. If such breach is
not cured within one hundred twenty (120) days after the receipt of such
notice (or one hundred eighty (180) days in event such breach cannot be
reasonably expected to be cured within one hundred twenty (120) days), and
the defaulting party gives notice to the other party of its inability to
cure such breach within a 120-day period and the defaulting party
thereafter uses reasonable efforts to cure such breach as soon as
practicable, but in no event longer than one hundred eighty (180) days),
the notifying party, if the notifying party is Lundbeck, shall have such
rights as set forth in Section 13.9 and if the notifying party is Centaur,
shall be entitled to terminate Lundbeck's rights and/or Centaur's
obligations (the choice being in Centaur's sole discretion) under this
Section 7, in either case by giving notice to that effect to the defaulting
party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party shall not have a right to
employ these remedies under this Section 7.22 in the event the other party
pursuant to Section 16 has sought to resolve the dispute for which the
remedy is being sought.
8. MARKETING
34
31, October 1996
8.1 Lundbeck's Commercialization of Licensed Product. Lundbeck agrees to use
------------------------------------------------
its best reasonable efforts to commercialize Licensed Product in the
Territory and will keep Centaur continuously informed with respect to such
commercialization.
8.2 Price and Reimbursement Approval. Lundbeck shall as promptly as
--------------------------------
practicable but in no event later than six (6) months from having received
Registration, or as soon as legally possible, apply for price and
reimbursement approval in each country in the Territory to the extent that
price and reimbursement approval is mandatory or commonly obtained in each
such country. Lundbeck shall start marketing Licensed Product, on a
country by country basis in the Territory, as promptly as practicable after
the date of Registration and, if such is necessary or commonly obtained,
receipt of price and reimbursement approval, of the Licensed Product in
each country in the Territory. If one year after Lundbeck has received
Approval for Sale in a particular country within the Territory, Lundbeck
has failed to commence sale in such country, then that country will be
deemed excluded from the Territory and all rights to Licensed Product in
that country (including the right to market) will revert to Centaur.
8.3 Product Manager. Lundbeck shall at the latest one (1) year before it
---------------
anticipates the start of the first Marketing Year appoint a product manager
for the Licensed Products who shall have, as one of his/her major
responsibilities, the marketing of Licensed Products and who shall as of
the appointment be the focal person for future contacts between Lundbeck
and Centaur. Centaur will identify a contact person for this function.
Either party may replace such product manager or contact by giving thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the other.
8.4 Marketing Plans. Lundbeck shall three (3) months at the latest before the
---------------
start of the first Marketing Year, and thereafter annually for the duration
of the Agreement on November 30, send to Centaur a copy of its three year
non-binding marketing plan(s) for the Licensed Product in the Territory.
8.5 Packaging. Lundbeck shall package the Licensed Product in a package with
---------
graphics and of a design which are comparable to those used for other
Lundbeck similar products. Unless otherwise prohibited by regulatory
authority, Licensed Product(s) or the packaging in which they are contained
shall bear the label "Distributed or Manufactured (as appropriate) under
license from Centaur Pharmaceuticals, Inc., CA, USA", or any similar
wording as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties.
8.6. Information Regarding Post-Registration Material. Apart from the updating

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
11.1 Patent Prosecution. Centaur shall continuously use its best reasonable
------------------
efforts in the continued prosecution and maintenance of Licensed Patents
including, without limitation,
(a) taking those actions needed to maintain the pendency of all pending
national phase patent applications within Licensed Patents; to gain
their allowance and grant as issued patents; and to maintain these
issued patents by the timely payment of all taxes and maintenance
fees;
(b) taking those actions needed to maintain the pendency of pending South
African patent application and pending Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)
patent application US96/04538 through PCT Chapter I and Chapter II
processing; to convert, no later than 26. September 1997 with written
confirmation hereof to Lundbeck, and in accordance with a written
notice as how to so convert by Centaur to Lundbeck no later than 3.
September 1997, this PCT patent application to any and all necessary
supranational and/or national applications in the countries of the
European Union, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Poland, Rumania,
Hungary, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic,
Croatia and Slovenia (for the purpose of this Section 11.1 such
countries are collectively called "Core Patent Countries") and those
other jurisdictions in the Territory reasonably agreed upon by Centaur
and Lundbeck, and thereafter to maintain the pendency of all these
national phase and supranational phase patent applications; to gain
their allowance and grant as issued patents; and to maintain them by
the timely payment of all taxes and maintenance fees; and
(c) taking those actions needed to obtain any appropriate Supplementary
Protection Certificates for medicinal products or patent term
extensions for medicinal products for Licensed Patents wherever within
the Territory such Certificates or extensions are desirable and
permitted.
(d) Notwithstanding the above, should Centaur believe that prosecution or
maintaining
39
31, October 1996
Licensed Patents in a given country or countries of the Territory
other than in the Core Patent Countries is not necessary or
commercially advisable, Centaur will give Lundbeck notice of this fact
no less than sixty (60) days before any action for the further
prosecution or maintaining is due. Within thirty (30) days of such
notice Lundbeck may notify Centaur in writing that it wishes to
prosecute and /or maintain such patent(s) on behalf of Centaur.
Lundbeck may then do so and Centaur will cooperate with Lundbeck in
this effort. Lundbeck's costs in so prosecuting and/or maintaining a
patent in a country may be credited, dollar for dollar, against
royalties Lundbeck would otherwise pay on Net Sales of Licensed
Product in that country. Costs of prosecuting and/or maintaining a
patent in one country may not be credited against royalties on Net
Sales of Licensed Product in another country.
(e) Centaur shall within 15 days of Lundbeck's request, advise Lundbeck in
writing of the status of the patent filing, prosecution and/or
maintenance pertinent to Licensed Patents.
11.2 Notice. Each party shall notify the other party promptly in writing of any

avoid Substantial Competition.
11.3 Centaur's Right to Commence Action. Centaur shall have the initial sole
----------------------------------
right to commence an action for infringement against the infringing party
in its own name and/or in the name of Lundbeck (and/or its Affiliates and
sublicensees, if applicable), together with the right to enforce and
collect any judgment thereon, but such decision to be taken in consultation
with Lundbeck. If Centaur elects to exercise the right to commence an
action, then Lundbeck shall provide reasonable assistance in the
prosecution of such action including, but not limited to, consenting to
being joined in such action as a voluntary plaintiff. Centaur shall bear
its own internal and external legal and other costs and expenses associated
with the prosecution of the action. If Centaur brings an action and joins
Lundbeck herein and the court awards costs against Lundbeck, then Centaur
shall reimburse Lundbeck for such costs. Lundbeck shall have the right to
independently retain legal counsel and consultants, at Lundbeck's sole cost
and expense, but such counsel or consultants shall not have the right to
affect Centaur's sole management of the prosecution of the action.
11.4 Monetary Recovery - Centaur Prosecution. Any monetary recovery (whether by
---------------------------------------
settlement or judgment) in connection with an infringement action commenced
by Centaur shall be applied first to reimburse Centaur for its out-of-
pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in
prosecuting such action and of any expenses of Lundbeck involved in the
action, and second, to the extent any monetary recovery represents lost
profits from lost sales of Licensed Product, that profit, less Centaur's
royalty on lost Net Sales will be paid to Lundbeck with the royalty amount
paid to Centaur. Any balance remaining shall be shared in the ratio of
80:20, Centaur:Lundbeck, respectively.
11.5 Lundbeck Prosecution and Monetary Recovery. Should Centaur not initiate
------------------------------------------
appropriate
40
31, October 1996
and diligent action with respect to any such infringement set out in
Sections 11.3-4 within three (3) months after receiving notice of any
infringement, other than insignificant infringements, or possible
infringement, other than insignificant possible infringements, of a
Licensed Patent, Lundbeck shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
take such action, at its own expense, in its own name and/or in the name of
Centaur with the right to enforce and collect any judgment thereon. If
Lundbeck elects to exercise the right to commence an action, then Centaur
shall provide reasonable assistance in the prosecution of such action
including, but not limited to, consenting to being joined in such action as
a voluntary plaintiff. Lundbeck shall bear its own internal and external
legal and other costs and expenses associated with the prosecution of the
action. If Lundbeck brings an action and joins Centaur herein and the court
awards costs against Centaur, then Lundbeck shall reimburse Centaur for
such costs. and shall reimburse Centaur's costs associated with Lundbeck
having prosecuted the action fully or partly in Centaur's name. Centaur
shall have the right to independently retain legal counsel and consultants,
at Centaur's sole cost and expense, but such counsel or consultants shall
not have the right to affect Lundbeck's sole management of the prosecution
of the action, except in the case where the opponent alleges that the
Licensed Patents are invalid, in which case Centaur may enter such case and
control it to the extent required to defend the validity of Licensed
Patents, and if Centaur is so entering the case then Section 11.6 (i) shall
apply mutatis mutandis. Any monetary recovery (whether by settlement or
judgment) in connection with an infringement action commenced by Lundbeck
shall be applied first to reimburse Lundbeck for its out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in prosecuting such action
and of any expenses of Centaur involved in the action, and second, to the
extent any monetary recovery represents lost profits from lost sales of
Licensed Product, that profit, less Centaur's royalty on lost Net Sales
will be paid to Lundbeck with the royalty amount paid to Centaur. Any
balance remaining shall be shared in the ratio of 80:20, Lundbeck:Centaur,
respectively.
11.6 Third Party Claims of Infringement. In the event of a third party claim
----------------------------------
that the exercise of the Lundbeck License with respect to the manufacture,
sale or other use of Licensed Product infringes any patent of such third
party in a country in the Territory (a "Third Party Claim"), Centaur shall
consult with Lundbeck and with respect to such Third Party Claim, Centaur
shall (i) undertake, at Centaur's sole cost and expense, defense of such
Third Party Claim, or (ii) request Lundbeck to undertake such defense, at
Lundbeck's sole cost and expense. Each party will provide such reasonable
assistance as the other needs and from time to time reasonably request.
Neither Lundbeck nor Centaur shall settle any Third Party Claim, including
an agreement to pay Third Party Royalties, without the reasonable approval
of the other party. If Lundbeck shall, at Lundbeck's sole cost and
expense, undertake to defend such Third Party Claim, fifty percent (50 %)
of all such costs and expenses incurred by Lundbeck, including, without
limitation, expert witness and attorneys' fees, and such damages payable to
any third party (other than Third Party Royalties) shall be deducted from
Basic Royalty or Trademark Royalty royalties payable to Centaur hereunder
from any country in the Territory, provided that Centaur as per the Date of
Execution has no knowledge of the Third Party Claim and/or of direct or
indirect arrangement as to the use of CPI-1189 or any right pertaining
thereto with the party so making the Third Party Claim, otherwise all such
costs and expenses may be deducted in the said royalty payments.
41
31, October 1996
11.7 Payment of Third Party Royalties. Except as provided in Section 2.4 (d),
--------------------------------
should Lundbeck or its sublicensees or Affiliates obtain one or more
licenses under a patent not licensed hereunder and agree to pay a royalty
in order to make, use or sell a Licensed Product in the Territory
(whether as a condition of settlement of an infringement action, or by
court order or for any other reason) the obtaining of such license must
be reasonably approved by Centaur unless required by court order. The
Basic Royalty or the Trademark Royalty payable to Centaur hereunder shall
be reduced by fifty percent (50%) of the royalties paid to such third
party, unless Centaur as per the Date of Execution has no knowledge of
the Third Party Claim and/or of direct or indirect arrangement as to the
use of CPI-1189 or any right pertaining thereto with the party so making
the Third Party Claim in which case the said royalties shall be reduced
with all the Third Party Royalties.

---------------------
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at least
one Trademark for possible use on Licensed Products in the Territory and
Centaur shall file applications for registrations and shall maintain such
Trademark(s) in its own name. If Centaur has difficulties or is unable to
register a selected Trademark, Centaur shall promptly advise Lundbeck and
the parties shall discuss either to continue prosecution of the
application, or Centaur shall select another Trademark which Lundbeck
shall approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. All costs and expenses (including attorney's fees) associated
with the filing of applications, prosecution of applications,
registration and maintenance of registrations of Trademark shall be paid
by Centaur. Lundbeck shall assist and cooperate with Centaur in its
filing and prosecuting all Trademark applications and maintaining
Trademark registrations as well as will sign all documents necessary to
carry out filing and prosecuting such applications and maintaining such
registrations, if necessary. Trademarks so selected and registered shall
be the sole and exclusive property of Centaur.

Licensed Product) attributable to any act of God, earthquake, flood, fire,
explosion, destruction of machines, of factories, of substantial
installations, strike, lockout, go-slows, occupation of factories and

communication with the said public entities after such notification.
If none of the parties have informed the other party of its intention

the notifying party shall inform the other party before any such
discussions are commenced.

53

those obligations imposed on the notifying party hereunder.
(d) Should the final decision from the said public entities, or the
final decision from any body to which the public entities' decision
may be appealed, decide not to approve this Agreement the parties
agree to substitute in good faith without delay any not so approved
provision by a valid and enforceable arrangement which achieves to
the greatest extent possible the mutual understanding already
established between the parties, but the invalidity or
unenforceability of any part shall not effect the validity or
enforceability of remaining part or parts of this Agreement all of
