Subject to the exceptions specified below in this Section 2.8(b) (Within the JSC), all decisions within the JSC (whether originating there, or referred to it by an operating Committee) shall be made by unanimous vote, with each Party’s representatives collectively having one (1) vote. A Party’s representative may indicate that its vote on an issue within the JSC is on a contingent basis pending internal approval of the applicable Party regarding the vote; provided, however, that such Party shall as promptly as possible report back to the JSC the outcome of such internal approval process and the meeting minutes shall reflect the ultimate vote. If a matter is referred by an operating Committee to the JSC, it shall use good faith efforts to resolve promptly such matter. If the JSC is unable to reach consensus on any issue for which it is responsible, within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] after a Party affirmatively states that a decision needs to be made, either Party may invoke the dispute resolution provisions of Section 14.12 (Dispute Resolution) and the status quo shall be maintained until resolution is reached.

No Committee shall have any right, power or authority: (a) to determine any issue in a manner that would conflict with the express terms and conditions of this Agreement; or (b) to amend, modify, or waive compliance with this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that the control of decision-making authority by MEI or KKC, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.8 (Committee Decision Making), so as to resolve a disagreement or deadlock on a Committee for any matter will not authorize either Party to perform any function not delegated to a Committee, and that neither MEI nor KKC shall have any right to unilaterally modify or amend, or waive its own compliance with, the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties.

2.10 Appointment Not an Obligation. The appointment of members to a Committee is a right of each Party and not an obligation and shall not be a “deliverable” as defined in EITF Issue No. 00-21. Each Party shall be free to determine not to appoint members to the Committee. If a Party (the “Non-Appointing Party”) does not appoint members to a Committee, it shall not


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

be a breach of this Agreement, nor shall any consideration be required to be returned, and the other Party shall have the votes and the decision-making power of the Non-Appointing Party unless and until such members are appointed by the Non-Appointing Party.

2.11 Discontinuation; Disbandment. Once established, each Committee shall continue to exist until the Parties mutually agree to disband the Committee. Upon the occurrence of the foregoing, (a) such Committee shall disband, have no further responsibilities or authority under this Agreement and will be considered dissolved by the Parties and (b) any requirement of a Party to provide information or other materials to the Committee shall be deemed a requirement to provide such information or other materials to the other Party and the Parties shall retain their respective decision making authority in accordance with Section 2.8 (Committee Decision Making) over matters that are subject to the review or approval by the Committee hereunder; provided that MEI shall have final decision making authority with respect to the U.S. and KKC shall have final decision making authority with respect to Japan and RoW so long as MEI is Commercializing Product in the U.S., and KKC is Commercializing Product in Japan and Row, as applicable.

(a) U.S. – Development Plan. The Parties shall conduct all Development of the Compound and Products in the Field in or for the U.S., and all U.S. Global Studies, in accordance with a comprehensive development plan (as amended in accordance with this Agreement, the “U.S. Development Plan”), including the timelines set forth therein, the initial version of which is attached to this Agreement as Schedule 4.1(a). For clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that such attachment may be subject to further discussion and updates, as agreed upon by the Parties through the JDC and approved by the JSC, following the execution of


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

this Agreement. The U.S. Development Plan will include, among other things, the Indications for which the Product is to be Developed, allocation of responsibilities between the Parties, critical activities to be undertaken, certain timelines, go/no go decision points and relevant decision criteria, and feedback from the FDA, EMA and/or PMDA (which, to the extent applicable, FDA, EMA and/or PMDA feedback will be reflected in a promptly updated U.S. Development Plan, including applicable updates to U.S. Global Studies, that is reviewed and discussed by the JDC, and presented to the JSC for final approval), if applicable. The Parties may also discuss and consider the feedbacks from the other Regulatory Authorities with respect to the U.S. Development Plan. The U.S. Development Plan shall be focused on efficiently obtaining Regulatory Approval for the Product in the Field in the U.S., but may consider its impact on Regulatory Approval for the Product in EU and Japan. The U.S. Development Plan will be associated with the U.S. Development Budget. Each U.S. Development Plan shall include a three (3) Calendar Year plan for Developing the Products and shall be prepared in good faith; provided, however that the Parties acknowledge and agree that the initial U.S. Development Plan does not include a corresponding U.S. Development Budget, and that the initial U.S. Development Budget shall be deemed to equal and include any costs incurred for activities to be undertaken after the Effective Date by MEI under such initial U.S. Development Plan and any such costs shall, accordingly, be deemed to be U.S. Development Costs that are subject to Section 4.1(e)(iv) (U.S. – Development Costs) until such time as the Parties approve a U.S. Development Budget through the JSC in accordance with applicable provisions of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the U.S. Development Plan and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

(b) Amendments to the U.S. Development Plan. On an annual basis (no later than September 30^th of the preceding Calendar Year), or more often as the Parties deem appropriate, the JDC shall prepare amendments to the then-current U.S. Development Plan and U.S. Development Budget for approval by the JSC. Each such amended U.S. Development Plan shall specify, with a reasonable level of detail, the items described in Section 4.1(a) (U.S. – Development Plan). Such amended U.S. Development Plan shall cover the next three (3) Calendar Years (and additional periods as reasonably determined by the Parties) and shall contain a corresponding U.S. Development Budget. Such updated and amended U.S. Development Plan shall reflect any changes, re-prioritization of studies within, reallocation of resources with respect to, or additions to the then-current U.S. Development Plan. In addition, the JDC may prepare amendments for approval by the JSC to the U.S. Development Plan and corresponding U.S. Development Budget from time to time during the Calendar Year in order to reflect changes in such plan and budget for applicable Calendar Years, in each case, in accordance with the foregoing. Each Party may, [*CONFIDENTIAL*], propose necessary amendments to the U.S. Development Budget to the JSC for approval. Once approved by the JSC, the amended U.S. Development Plan and U.S. Development Budget shall become effective for the applicable period on the date approved by the JSC (or such other date as the JSC shall specify). Any JSC-approved amended U.S. Development Plan and U.S. Development Budget shall supersede the previous U.S. Development Plan and U.S. Development Budget for the applicable period.

The Parties, directly and/or with or through Affiliates or Sublicensees (or Direct Licensees with respect to MEI), shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop, and to obtain Regulatory Approval for, the Compound and Product in the Field in the U.S. in accordance with the then-current U.S. Development Plan for the


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

Indications of [*CONFIDENTIAL*] in accordance with the U.S. Development Plan shall be deemed to be a material breach (which, for clarity, shall be subject to the terms of Section 11.2(b) including the cure period thereunder) of such Party’s Development diligence obligations under this Section 4.1(c) (U.S. - Development Diligence).

(d) U.S. - Development Budget. The U.S. Development Budget shall set forth the budgeted amounts for U.S. Development Costs with respect to activities allocated to the Parties under the U.S. Development Plan, and shall include for each Party a budget for U.S. Development Costs for the Development activities allocated to such Party, broken down by Calendar Quarter with respect to at least the then-current Calendar Year. The U.S. Development Budget shall also include a breakout of costs by functional area or category as determined by the JDC. Concurrently with the annual update of the U.S. Development Plan in accordance with Section 4.1(b) (Amendments to the U.S. Development Plan), the Parties shall also prepare, and the JSC shall review and approve, an updated U.S. Development Budget.

(e) U.S. - Development Costs.

(i) Cost Sharing. Subject to Section 4.1(e)(ii) (Exception), U.S. Development Costs incurred for activities to be undertaken after the Effective Date by a Party shall be borne [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. For the avoidance of double-counting, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) U.S. Development Costs shall not be included in U.S. Commercialization Costs for purposes of calculating Net Profit or Loss in accordance with the Financial Exhibit (and, likewise, that any amounts included in U.S. Commercialization Costs shall not be included in U.S. Development Costs), and (B) in the case of [*CONFIDENTIAL*] and be deducted from the total cost of the U.S. Development Costs, and the remaining cost shall be borne [*CONFIDENTIAL*].

Each Party shall calculate and maintain records of U.S. Development Costs incurred by it and its Affiliates in accordance with procedures to be established by the JFC and approved by the JSC, and the procedures for monthly reporting of actual results, monthly review and discussion of potential discrepancies, quarterly reconciliation, reasonable cost forecasting, and other finance and accounting matters related to U.S. Development Costs will be determined by the JSC (the “U.S. Development Reconciliation Procedures”). Such procedures will provide the ability to comply with financial reporting requirements of each Party under Applicable Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the JFC shall establish reasonable procedures for the Parties to share estimated U.S. Development Costs for each Calendar Quarter prior to the end of such Calendar Quarter, to enable each Party to appropriately accrue its share of U.S. Development Costs for financial reporting purposes.

(iv) Reimbursement of U.S. Development Costs.

(1) The U.S. Development Reconciliation Procedures shall provide (A) for each Party to provide a monthly written report to the other Party setting forth in reasonable detail the total actual U.S. Development Costs for the Products incurred by such Party, and (B) that, within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, each Party shall submit to the JDC a report, in such reasonable detail and format as is established by the JDC, of all U.S. Development Costs incurred by such Party during such Calendar Quarter.

ARTICLE 8

GENERAL PAYMENT PROVISIONS

8.1 Upfront Payment. Within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] after receipt of an invoice therefor, KKC shall pay to MEI a one-time, non-refundable and non-creditable upfront payment of [*CONFIDENTIAL*] subject to Section 8.5(c); provided that, if MEI desires for KKC to reduce applicable withholding taxes to be withheld by KKC, then such invoice shall be accompanied by any Tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for KKC not to withhold Tax or to withhold Tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income Tax treaty in accordance with Section 8.5(d).

8.2 Blended Royalty. KKC acknowledges that (i) the MEI Know-How and the information included in MEI’s Regulatory Materials licensed to KKC are proprietary and valuable and that without the MEI Know-How and such information, KKC would not be able to obtain and maintain Regulatory Approvals with respect to the Products, (ii) such Regulatory Approvals will allow KKC to obtain and maintain Regulatory Exclusivity with respect to the Products in the Field in Japan and the RoW, (iii) access to the MEI Know-How and the rights with respect to the MEI’s Regulatory Materials will have provided KKC with a competitive advantage in the marketplace beyond the exclusivity afforded by the MEI Patents and Regulatory Exclusivity and (iv) the upfront payment and royalties set forth in Sections 8.1 (Upfront Payment), 5.3(a) (JP - Upfront Payment), 5.3(d) (JP - Royalty Payments), and 6.3(c) (RoW – Royalty Payments), respectively, are, in part, intended to compensate MEI for such exclusivity and such competitive advantage. The Parties agree that the royalty rate set forth in Section 5.3(d) (JP - Royalty Payments) and Section 6.3(c) (RoW – Royalty Payments) each reflects an efficient and reasonable blended allocation of the value provided by MEI to KKC.

8.3 Currency Conversion. All payments hereunder shall be made in United States Dollars. For the purpose of calculating any sums due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than Dollars), any amount expressed in a foreign currency shall be converted into Dollars in a manner consistent with Payor’s normal practices used to prepare its audited financial statements for external reporting purposes, in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, or by using the Wall Street Journal or Reuters, at Payor’s discretion.

8.4 Late Payments. Any amount required to be paid by Payor hereunder which is not paid on the date due shall accrue interest from the date due at the rate of the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate as quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or if it no longer exists, similarly authoritative source) plus [*CONFIDENTIAL*]; provided, however, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate. The payment of such interest shall not limit Payee from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment. Such interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days payment is delinquent.

8.5 Taxes and Withholding.

(a) Taxes on Income. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Section 8.5 (Taxes and Withholding), each Party shall solely bear and pay all Taxes imposed on


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

such Party’s net income (however denominated) franchise Taxes, and branch profits Taxes, in each case, imposed as a result of such Party being organized under the laws of, or having an permanent establishment or office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof).

(b) VAT. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to ensure that any value added Tax or similar payment (“VAT”) in respect of any payments made by Payor to Payee under this Agreement does not represent an unnecessary cost in respect of payments made under this Agreement; provided, that the Parties further agree that as of the Effective Date it is not anticipated that VAT will apply in connection with payments under this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, all sums payable under this Agreement shall be exclusive of VAT. In the event that any VAT is owing in any jurisdiction in respect of any such payment, Payor shall pay such VAT, and (i) if such VAT is owing as a result of any action by Payor, including any assignment or sublicense (including assignment to, or payment hereunder by, a Payor-related entity or Affiliate), or any failure on the part of Payor or its Affiliates to comply with applicable Tax laws or filing or record retention requirements, that has the effect of modifying the Tax treatment of the Parties hereto, then the payment in respect of which such VAT is owing shall be made without deduction for or on account of such VAT to ensure that Payee receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had such VAT not been due or (ii) otherwise, such payment shall be made after deduction of such VAT. In the event that any deducted VAT is later recovered by Payor, Payor shall promptly reimburse Payee for the deducted amount. For the sake of clarity, any increase in payments to Payee under this Section 8.5(b) (VAT) shall reflect only the incremental increase in VAT directly resulting from clause (i) above. In the event that any VAT is owing in any jurisdiction in respect of any such payment, Payee will provide to Payor Tax invoices showing the correct amount of VAT in respect of such payments hereunder.

(c) Withholding Tax Matters. If Payor is required to make a payment to Payee subject to a deduction of Tax or withholding Tax, the sum payable by Payor (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be made to Payee after deduction of the amount required to be so deducted or withheld, which deducted or withheld amount shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws. Any such withholding Taxes required under Applicable Laws to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by Payee.

(d) Tax Cooperation. To the extent Payor is required to deduct and withhold Taxes on any payments to Payee, Payor shall pay the amounts of such Taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Payee an official Tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding reasonably sufficient to enable Payee to claim such payments of Taxes. At Payee’s discretion, Payee shall provide to Payor any Tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Payor not to withhold Tax or to withhold Tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income Tax treaty. Payee shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such Tax forms to Payor at least [*CONFIDENTIAL*] prior to the due date for any payments for which the Payee desires that Payor apply a reduced withholding rate. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery or reduction, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding Taxes, VAT, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding Tax or VAT.

8.6 Financial Records and Audit. Each Party shall keep full, true and accurate records and books of account containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of confirming the accuracy of, and calculating, as applicable, all royalty payments and other amounts due to MEI hereunder (including records of Net Sales), Development Costs, U.S. Commercialization Costs, Net Profit or Loss, and the other elements thereof required to prepare the reports or calculate payments required under this Agreement and the Reconciliation Procedures, and any other payments under this Agreement, during the Term and for [*CONFIDENTIAL*] thereafter or such longer period as required by Applicable Laws. Each Party shall have a right to request [*CONFIDENTIAL*] audit of the other Party [*CONFIDENTIAL*] throughout the Term in order to confirm the accuracy of the foregoing (an “Audit”); provided, that, such [*CONFIDENTIAL*] audit per Calendar Year limitation shall not apply in the event of any subsequent “for cause” audit. Upon the written request by a Party to Audit the other Party, such auditing Party shall have the right to engage an independent, internationally recognized accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the other Party and which will be subject to appropriate written obligations of confidentiality, to perform a review as is reasonably necessary to enable such accounting firm to calculate or otherwise confirm the accuracy of any of the foregoing for the Calendar Year(s) requested by such auditing Party. The audited Party, shall make personnel reasonably available during regular business hours to answer queries on all such books and records required for the purpose of the Audit. The accountants shall deliver a copy of their findings to each of the Parties within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of the completion of the review, and, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, the findings of such accountant shall be final and binding on each of the Parties. Any underpayments by a Party shall be paid to the other Party within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of notification of the results of such Audit. Any overpayments made by a Party shall be refunded by the other Party within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of notification of the results of such Audit. The cost of the accountants shall be the responsibility of the auditing Party unless the accountants’ calculation shows that the actual royalties payable, Net Sales and/or any other applicable amount Audited hereunder (in the aggregate with respect to the entire period audited) to be different, by more than [*CONFIDENTIAL*], than the amounts as paid and reported by the audited Party for the period subject to the Audit, in which case the audited Party shall bear the costs of the accountants. Any information obtained during such audit shall be treated as Confidential Information of the audited Party. In the event that a Party has a good faith basis, which shall be shared with the other Party, for believing that a Sublicensee of such other Party is not accurately reporting Net Sales (and thus that such other Party is not making appropriate royalty payments hereunder), then at the inquiring Party’s request, the other Party shall enforce its audit rights with respect to any such Sublicensee and such other Party shall report back to the inquiring Party regarding the outcome of any such audit.

Any such notice shall include evidence to support an allegation of infringement or threatened infringement, or declaratory judgment or equivalent action, by such Third Party.

(b) Enforcement of MEI Patents, KKC Patents and Joint Patents.

(i) MEI shall have the first right, as between KKC and MEI, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or take other action against any Person engaged in, or to defend against, a Product Infringement in the Field of any MEI Patent or Joint Patent, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. KKC shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice, and KKC and its counsel will reasonably cooperate with MEI and its counsel in strategizing, preparing and prosecuting any such action or proceeding. If MEI fails to bring an action or proceeding with respect to such Product Infringement of any MEI Patent or Joint Patent within (A) [*CONFIDENTIAL*] following the notice of alleged infringement or declaratory judgment or (B) [*CONFIDENTIAL*] before the time limit, if any, set forth in the appropriate laws and regulations for the filing of such actions, whichever comes first, KKC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any such action at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and MEI shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice and MEI and its counsel will reasonably cooperate with KKC and its counsel in strategizing, preparing and prosecuting any such action or proceeding.

Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

appropriate laws and regulations for the filing of such actions, whichever comes first, MEI shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring and control any such action at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice, and KKC shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice and KKC and its counsel will reasonably cooperate with MEI and its counsel in strategizing, preparing and prosecuting any such action or proceeding.

(a) Each Party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any allegation by a Third Party that the Packaging, Commercialization, Manufacture, Development, or use of the Compound or Product infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights of a Third Party (an “Infringement Claim”).

(b) In the case of any Infringement Claim in any Territory, the Parties shall, subject to Section 9.5(c) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights), promptly, and within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] after written notice from either Party to the other thereof, discuss which Party shall control the response to such Infringement Claim, and if the Parties do not mutually agree upon which Party shall control, the Party with respect to which the Infringement Claim was brought shall control the defense and response to such Infringement Claim and, if both Parties are named, then [*CONFIDENTIAL*] shall have the right to control the defense and response to such Infringement Claim. For clarity, if Section 9.5(c) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights) applies to any such Infringement Claim, then Section 9.5(c) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights) shall control the process related to responding to such Infringement Claim in lieu of this Section 9.5(b) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights). With respect to any Infringement Claim, each Party shall bear [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of the damages or recovery obtained by the Third Party asserting such Infringement Claim, by settlement or otherwise; provided, that, the Party with respect to which the Infringement Claim was brought had performed the allegedly infringing Packaging, Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Compound or Product in accordance with this Agreement; in all other cases, the Party with respect to which the Infringement Claim was brought shall bear [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of such damages or recovery. The Out-of-Pocket Costs in defending, and providing requested assistance in the defense of, such Infringement Claim shall be [*CONFIDENTIAL*]; unless the Party with respect to which the Infringement Claim was brought had not performed the allegedly


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

infringing Packaging, Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Compound or Product in accordance with this Agreement, in which case all Out-of-Pocket Costs of both Parties in defending, and providing requested assistance in the defense of, such Infringement Claim shall be paid by [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Section 9.5 (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights), including payment obligations, will be subject to the terms of Article 13 (Indemnification; Liability).

(c) Notwithstanding Section 9.5(b) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights), with respect to Infringement Claims pertaining to [*CONFIDENTIAL*] and the specific subject matter described in this Section 9.5(c) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights), if:

(i) the (A) Development, use, or Commercialization of the dosage form, as of the Effective Date, of the Product in [*CONFIDENTIAL*], or (B) Manufacture of the Compound or the dosage form, as of the Effective Date, of the Product in the Territory for Development or Commercialization infringes an issued Valid Claim (as defined in Section 1.186(a) (Valid Claim) but not 1.186(b) (Valid Claim) above) of a Third Party’s Patent (“Third Party Patent”), then:

(1) MEI shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to either (y) procure the right to continue the activities described in subclauses (A) or (B) of Section 9.5(c)(i) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights), as applicable, free of any liability from such Infringement Claim (e.g., through obtaining a license to practice such Third Party Patent or through invalidating such Third Party Patent), or (z) replace or modify Product or Compound, or the Development, use, Commercialization, or Manufacture thereof, as applicable, with a non-infringing substitute, and MEI shall be responsible for [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of any payments due in connection with implementing the foregoing subclauses (y) or (z) (including, to the extent applicable, payments due in connection with such Third Party Patents for sales or activities [*CONFIDENTIAL*]); and

(2) if MEI is unable to implement one of the options set forth in subclauses (y) or (z) of Section 9.5(c)(i)(1) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights), then, solely with respect to [*CONFIDENTIAL*], KKC shall have a right, but not an obligation, to implement one of such options, at KKC’s expense; provided, that if KKC elects to obtain a license to such Third Party Patent(s), then KKC’s royalty payment for such license shall be [*CONFIDENTIAL*].

(ii) the use of the Product in [*CONFIDENTIAL*], infringes an issued Valid Claim (as defined in Section 1.186(a) (Valid Claim) but not 1.186(b) (Valid Claim) above) of a Third Party’s Patent in [*CONFIDENTIAL*] (also, a “Third Party Patent”), then:

(1) MEI shall have the first right to either (y) procure the right to continue the use of such combination for such indication free of any liability from such Infringement Claim (e.g., through obtaining a license to practice such Third Party Patent or through


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

invalidating such Third Party Patent), or (z) replace or modify such Product or such [*CONFIDENTIAL*], or the use thereof, as applicable, with a non-infringing substitute, the details of which shall be notified to KKC in writing prior to undertaking any such action. MEI shall keep KKC informed of the progress of such action;

(2) if MEI does not desire to implement one of the options set forth in subclauses (y) or (z) of Section 9.5(c)(ii)(1) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights), then, solely with respect to [*CONFIDENTIAL*], KKC shall have a right, but not an obligation, to undertake one of such options, the details of which shall be notified to MEI in writing prior to undertaking any such action. KKC shall keep MEI informed of the progress of such action; and

(3) In either approach (MEI or KKC undertaking such options set forth in subclauses (y) or (z) of Section 9.5(c)(ii)(1) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights)), no license to a Third Party Patent may be entered under this Section 9.5(c)(ii) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights) without the other Party’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any expenses or payments incurred in implementing one of such options (including payments due to a Third Party in connection with sales or activities, subject to a reasonable allocation of any upfront or general payments to the Territory in the case of a broader license taken by MEI) shall be:

I. with respect to [*CONFIDENTIAL*],

II. with respect to [*CONFIDENTIAL*]; provided that, (1) if KKC obtains a license to such Third Party Patent(s), then KKC shall have the right to receive from MEI [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of any upfront or general payments and to reduce its quarterly royalty payments to MEI by [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of any royalty payments to such a Third Party, subject to KKC’s royalty payments to MEI not being reduced to less than [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of the amounts that would have otherwise been due to MEI for such Calendar Quarter; or (2) if MEI obtains such license from Third Party, then (A) KKC shall reimburse [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of the reasonable allocation of any upfront or general payments and [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of any royalty payments to such Third Party, subject to KKC’s royalty payment not exceeding [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of the amounts that would have otherwise been due to MEI for such Calendar Quarter, and (B) payments associated with [*CONFIDENTIAL*] shall be appropriate and proportional to other amounts due under any such agreement, and

III. In either approach (MEI or KKC undertaking such options set forth in subclauses (y) or (z) of Section 9.5(c)(ii)(1) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights)), if the procured right to continue the use of such combination for such indication free of any liability from such Infringement Claim or replacement or modification is not secured with terms acceptable to both Parties, then neither Party is obligated to [*CONFIDENTIAL*].

(d) Each Party expressly agrees and acknowledges that (A) the rights granted to such Party under this Agreement, as and to the extent applicable, shall in all cases be subject to


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

the terms and conditions of any applicable license agreement related to any Third Party Patent, and (B) it shall comply with the terms and conditions of any such agreements (and shall take no action or omit to take any action, that may cause a breach of either of any such agreements). In furtherance of the foregoing, a copy of any such agreements shall be provided by the executing Party to the other Party.

(e) The Parties acknowledge and agree that a defense action commenced under Section 9.5(a) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights) may lead to [*CONFIDENTIAL*] negotiating an agreement under Section 9.5(c) (Third Party Intellectual Property Rights).

(f) Upon the request of the Party controlling the response to the Infringement Claim, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with the controlling Party in the reasonable defense of such Infringement Claim, including by providing full access to documents, information and witnesses as reasonably requested by the Party controlling the response to the Infringement Claim. The other Party will have the right to consult with the controlling Party concerning any Infringement Claim and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in any associated litigation.

9.6 Consent for Settlement. Neither Party shall unilaterally enter into any settlement or compromise of any action or proceeding under this Article 9 (Intellectual Property Rights) that would in any manner alter, diminish, or be in derogation of the other Party’s rights under this Agreement, or rights otherwise with respect to Product, without the prior written consent of such other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the above, KKC shall not enter into any settlement of any such claim without the prior written consent of MEI if such settlement would require MEI to be subject to an injunction or to make any monetary payment to KKC or any Third Party, or admit any wrongful conduct by MEI or its Affiliates, or would limit or restrict the claims of or admit any invalidity and/or unenforceability of any of the Patents Controlled by MEI.

9.7 Patent Extensions. The Parties shall jointly agree regarding, and each shall reasonably cooperate with the other in obtaining, patent term restoration, supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents, and Patent Term Extensions with respect to the Products where applicable. The Party responsible for controlling the preparation, filing, prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and reexaminations) and maintenance of Patents under Section 9.2 (Patent Prosecution and Maintenance) shall file applications for such extensions at its own cost and the other Party shall provide such responsible Party any necessary documents and information for filing and prosecuting the Patent Term Extension application at such other Party’s own cost.

The Parties shall Develop, Package and Commercialize the Products in the Field in the U.S. under MEI Trademarks in accordance with the U.S. Commercialization Plan; provided, that MEI may not include in any such trademarks any corporate names or any reference to any products of KKC or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees without the prior written consent of KKC. During the applicable Term, (i) MEI grants to KKC an exclusive, royalty-free license to use MEI Trademarks and MEI’s name and logo (to the extent

MEI shall cooperate with KKC, at KKC’s reasonable request and expense, in KKC’s registration of the KKC Trademarks. In addition, KKC shall have an option to select MEI Trademarks for use with the Product and MEI shall grant KKC an exclusive (even as to MEI), royalty-free, fully-paid, license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, to use such trademarks in connection with Developing, Packaging or Commercializing Products in Japan and the RoW during the applicable Term. In connection with the foregoing, upon KKC’s reasonable request from time-to-time, MEI shall provide KKC a list of MEI Trademarks (and not including the “MEI” corporate xxxx or other marks that are not exclusively used in connection with Products) including registration number, class and product/service. If KKC decides to be licensed MEI Trademarks to Develop, Package and Commercialize the Product in the Field in Japan and the RoW, KKC shall provide a notice to MEI it wishes to be licensed such MEI Trademarks. MEI shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to have MEI Trademarks and its local transliterations registered, filed, maintained and renewed in Japan and the RoW at MEI’s cost upon KKC’s request, and shall keep KKC reasonably informed of the completion of such registration process and provide KKC with updated list of registration numbers for such MEI Trademarks in Japan and the RoW (e.g., with respect to Japan, KATAKANA character trademark). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, MEI will have the right to use the KKC Trademark to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) In the event that either MEI or KKC becomes aware of any infringement or threatened infringement by a Third Party of any MEI Trademark or KKC Trademark (“Trademark Infringement”), it will promptly notify the other Party in writing to that effect. Any such notice shall include evidence to support an allegation of infringement or threatened infringement, or declaratory judgment or equivalent action, by such Third Party.

(ii) KKC shall have the right, as between KKC and MEI, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or take other action against any Person engaged in, or to defend against, a Trademark Infringement in the Field of any KKC Trademarks, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choice. MEI shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice, and MEI and its counsel will reasonably cooperate with KKC and its counsel in strategizing, preparing and prosecuting any such action or proceeding. If KKC fails to bring an action or proceeding with respect to such Trademark Infringement of any KKC Trademark in Japan or the RoW, the Parties shall discuss possible action against the Trademark Infringement.

For clarity, MEI shall be responsible for maintenance of any MEI Trademark, in all cases subject to the terms and conditions of a trademark use agreement to be negotiated in good faith by the Parties upon one Party’s request to the other therefor. Pending execution of such a trademark use agreement, with respect to Japan, Sections 5.3(d) (JP – Royalty Payments), 5.3(e) (JP – Royalty Adjustments), and Article 8 (General Payment Provisions), and with respect to the RoW, 6.3(c) (RoW – Royalty Payments) 6.3(d) (RoW – Royalty Adjustments), and Article 8 (General Payment Provisions) shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to the payments due under this Section 11.1(b) (Term).

11.2 Termination.

(a) Termination by KKC for Convenience. At any time, KKC may terminate this Agreement in its entirety at its sole discretion and for any reason or no reason, by providing written notice of termination to MEI, which notice includes an effective date of termination [*CONFIDENTIAL*] after the date of the notice if the notice is given. During such [*CONFIDENTIAL*], the Parties shall transition those activities being performed by KKC under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable, pursuant to a transition services agreement to be agreed upon by the Parties in good faith, and KKC shall otherwise continue to perform all of its obligations and shall continue to be responsible for all costs incurred under this Agreement to be borne by KKC according to this Agreement during such [*CONFIDENTIAL*].

(b) Termination for Cause. If either Party believes that the other is in material breach of this Agreement, then the non-breaching Party may deliver notice of such breach to the other Party. The allegedly breaching Party shall have [*CONFIDENTIAL*] ([*CONFIDENTIAL*] in the case of a payment-related breach) to cure such breach from the receipt of the notice. If MEI (as the allegedly breaching Party) fails to cure that breach within the applicable period set forth above, then KKC may, at its election, terminate this Agreement either in whole or in part under a Partial Termination solely with respect to a Territory (i.e., the U.S., Japan, or RoW, but not individual countries within the RoW) in which such breach occurred on written notice of termination specifying KKC’s election to terminate the Agreement in whole or with respect to the applicable Territory that is the Terminated Jurisdiction. If KKC (as the allegedly breaching Party) fails to cure a breach within the applicable period set forth above, then MEI may, at its election, terminate this Agreement either in whole or with respect to a Terminated Jurisdiction on written notice of termination specifying MEI’s election to terminate the Agreement in whole or with respect to a Terminated Jurisdiction. Any right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.2(b) (Termination for Cause) shall be stayed for up to a period of [*CONFIDENTIAL*] and the applicable cure period tolled in the event that, during such cure period, the Party alleged to have been in material breach shall have initiated dispute resolution in accordance with Section 14.12 (Dispute Resolution) with respect to the alleged breach, which stay and tolling shall continue until such dispute has been resolved in accordance with Section 14.12 (Dispute Resolution) but in any event no longer than [*CONFIDENTIAL*] from the date that the Party alleged to have been in material breach initiates dispute resolution proceeding under Section 14.12 (Dispute Resolution). If a Party is determined to be in material breach of this Agreement, the other Party may terminate this Agreement if the breaching Party fails to cure the breach within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] ([*CONFIDENTIAL*] in the case of a payment-related breach) after the conclusion of the dispute resolution procedure (and such termination shall then be effective upon written notification from the notifying Party to the breaching Party).

(c) Termination for Patent Challenge. Except to the extent the following is unenforceable under the laws of a particular jurisdiction, MEI may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to KKC if KKC or its Affiliates or Sublicensees, individually or in association with any other Person, commences a legal action challenging the validity or enforceability of any MEI Patent.

(d) Termination for Bankruptcy. This Agreement may be terminated at any time during the Term by either Party upon the other Party’s filing or institution of bankruptcy,


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment of a substantial portion of the assets for the benefit of creditors by the other Party; provided, however, that in the case of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding such right to terminate shall only become effective if the Party consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or such proceeding is not dismissed within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] after the filing thereof.

(e) Automatic Termination for Nonpayment. If KKC fails to pay MEI the upfront payment in accordance with, and as set forth in Section 8.1 (Upfront Payment), this Agreement will automatically and immediately terminate.

(f) Termination for Force Majeure. At any time after the third anniversary of the Effective Date, if an event of force majeure (in accordance with Section 14.9 (Force Majeure)) prevents, prohibits, or otherwise inhibits a Party from performing its obligations hereunder for a [*CONFIDENTIAL*] or more, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in part under a Partial Termination solely with respect to the country(ies) in which such Party’s performance of its obligations is prevented, prohibited or otherwise inhibited, upon written notice to such Party. For clarity, nothing in this Section 11.2(f) (Termination for Force Majeure) shall be deemed to modify or otherwise create, with respect to the entire RoW, any rights or obligations in a given country in the RoW.

(g) Termination Related to GDPR Agreement. If KKC’s ability to meet the obligations and assurances as set out under (i) the Existing Data Agreement prior to the execution of the GDPR Agreement (to the extent applicable), or (ii) the GDPR Agreement after the execution of the GDPR Agreement, in each case, cannot be restored by reasonable and appropriate means following KKC’s notice of such inability as required by the Existing Data Agreement in Section 7(f) of that agreement, and as will be required under the GDPR Agreement, then MEI shall have the right to terminate (1) this Agreement in part under a Partial Termination solely with respect to Japan prior to the execution of the GDPR Agreement, and (2) this Agreement in its entirety after the execution of the GDPR Agreement, in each case, upon written notice to KKC.

11.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement by KKC pursuant to Sections 11.2(a) (Termination by KKC for Convenience) or 11.2(f) (Termination for Force Majeure), or termination of this Agreement by MEI pursuant to Sections 11.2(b) (Termination for Cause), 11.2(c) (Termination for Patent Challenge), 11.2(d) (Termination for Bankruptcy), 11.2(e) (Automatic Termination for Nonpayment), 11.2(f) (Termination for Force Majeure), or 11.2(g) (Termination Related to GDPR Agreement), the following consequences shall apply (in the case of a Partial Termination, solely for that corresponding Terminated Jurisdiction) and shall be effective as of the effective date of such termination:

(a) KKC’s license under Section 3.1 (Licenses to KKC), shall become [*CONFIDENTIAL*] upon receipt of a notice of termination and shall terminate upon the effective date of termination except to the extent necessary to perform any surviving obligations as expressly provided in this Agreement (provided, however, that in the event of a Partial Termination, only those licenses for the corresponding Terminated Jurisdiction shall terminate);

(b) KKC hereby assigns to MEI the KKC Technology relating solely to the Compound or Product (and, in the event of a Partial Termination, used solely in the corresponding

Terminated Jurisdiction); provided that, to the extent such assignment is prohibited by Applicable Law, or certain KKC Technology does not relate solely to the Compound or Product, subject to MEI’s payment of reasonable royalties as set forth below, KKC hereby grants to MEI, [*CONFIDENTIAL*], royalty-bearing, worldwide (or, in the event of a Partial Termination, limited to the corresponding Terminated Jurisdiction), perpetual and irrevocable license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers, under all such KKC Technology that is not assigned to MEI, to research, develop, make, have made, use, distribute, sell, offer for sale, have sold, import, export and otherwise commercialize the Compound and Products. KKC shall execute such documents as MEI reasonably requests in order to further memorialize the foregoing assignment (or license). The Parties shall agree in good faith to [*CONFIDENTIAL*], provided further that, if the Parties are unable to agree on [*CONFIDENTIAL*] within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of beginning discussions with respect thereto, then either Party may refer such matter for arbitration in accordance with Section 14.12 (Dispute Resolution). For clarity, at any time, MEI shall have the right to [*CONFIDENTIAL*].

(c) KKC shall return to MEI or destroy, at MEI’s election, all Confidential Information (or, in case of a Partial Termination, Confidential Information relating solely to the corresponding Terminated Jurisdiction) of MEI, including all copies thereof and all materials, substances and compositions delivered or provided by MEI to KKC, provided that KKC shall have the right to retain [*CONFIDENTIAL*] copy thereof, which may be retained by KKC solely for legal archiving purposes;

In addition, KKC shall, at MEI’s request, provide reasonable technical assistance and transfer all KKC Know-How, KKC’s Sole Inventions and Joint Inventions necessary to Package or Manufacture Compounds and Products to MEI or its designee;

(f) KKC shall, to the extent that MEI does not provide written notice that it does not want to receive the benefit thereof in part or in whole, transfer sponsorship and control to MEI of all Clinical Trials of the Product being conducted as of the effective date of termination in the Territory (and, in the event of a Partial Termination, in the corresponding Terminated Jurisdiction only), provided, that, if MEI does not desire to take over control of any given ongoing


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

Clinical Trial(s), then KKC shall be responsible for winding-down such trials as soon as possible in accordance with Applicable Law and industry standards.

(g) KKC shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, provide a copy to MEI of all agreements related to the Development, Packaging, Manufacture, use or Commercialization of the Compound or Product (“Product Agreements”) in the Territory (or, in the case of a Partial Termination, Product Agreements relating solely to the corresponding Terminated Jurisdiction), including all Sublicenses, and, to the extent requested by MEI in writing, assign to MEI any Product Agreement, unless, with respect to any such Product Agreement, such Product Agreement expressly prohibits such assignment, in which case KKC (or such Affiliate or Sublicensee, as applicable) shall co-operate with MEI and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to secure the consent of the applicable Third Party to such assignment, at KKC’s expense, and if any such consent cannot be obtained with respect to a Product Agreement, KKC shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees to, to the extent requested by MEI in writing, facilitate discussions between MEI and such Third Parties to assist MEI in entering into a direct agreement with such Third Parties;

11.4 Effect of Termination for Cause by KKC. If KKC is entitled to terminate this Agreement under Section 11.2(b) (Termination for Cause) as a result of an uncured material breach by MEI, KKC may elect to terminate or continue this Agreement. If KKC elects to continue this Agreement, the rights and licenses granted by MEI to KKC under this Agreement shall continue, subject to KKC’s related obligation under this Agreement.

except to the extent any such Claim arises or results from KKC’s failure or delay in taking appropriate action after having become aware of such Manufacturing defect;

(b) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the MEI Indemnitees; and

(c) any material breach by MEI of this Agreement.

except in each case, to the extent such Claims result from the material breach by KKC of any covenant, representation, warranty or other agreement made by KKC in this Agreement or the negligence or willful misconduct of any KKC Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the above, MEI will have no obligation to defend or indemnify KKC or its Affiliates for any claim brought by a shareholder or a class of shareholders of KKC or its Affiliates including, securities fraud claims, shareholder direct claims, and shareholder derivative claims, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of MEI or any Affiliate.

Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

13.3 Indemnification Procedure. If either Party is seeking indemnification under Sections 13.1 (Indemnification by MEI) or 13.2 (Indemnification by KKC) (the “Indemnified Party”), it shall inform the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim giving rise to the obligation to indemnify pursuant to such section as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any such claim for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party’s insurer as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, and at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense and with counsel of its choice, in the defense of any claim or suit that has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party. Neither Party shall have the obligation to indemnify the other Party in connection with any settlement made without such Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Parties cannot agree as to the application of Section 13.1 (Indemnification by MEI) or 13.2 (Indemnification by KKC) as to any claim, pending resolution of the dispute pursuant to Section 14.12 (Dispute Resolution), the Parties may conduct separate defenses of such claims, with each Party retaining the right to claim indemnification from the other Party in accordance with Section 13.1 (Indemnification by MEI) or 13.2 (Indemnification by KKC) upon resolution of the underlying claim. For clarity, the Financial Exhibit addresses the treatment and allocation of Collaboration Losses for which the Parties will share liability, including Product Liability Claims in the U.S.

13.4 Mitigation of Loss. Each Indemnified Party will take and will procure that its Affiliates take reasonable steps and actions to mitigate any Claims (or potential losses or damages) under this Article 13 (Indemnification; Liability). Nothing in this Agreement shall or shall be deemed to relieve any Party of any common law or other duty to mitigate any losses incurred by it.

13.5 Special, Indirect and Other Losses. EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF A PARTY’S BREACH OF Article 10 (CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICATION) OR A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM THE OTHER PARTY ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST REVENUES OR LOST PROFITS, IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LICENSE GRANTED HEREUNDER; provided, however, that this Section 13.5 (Special, Indirect and Other Losses) shall not be construed to limit [*CONFIDENTIAL*].

13.6 Insurance. Each Party, at its own expense, shall maintain Product Liability and other appropriate insurance in an amount consistent with sound business practice and reasonable in light of its obligations under this Agreement during the Term. Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance (or evidence of self-insurance) evidencing such coverage to the other Party upon request.

ARTICLE 14

GENERAL PROVISIONS

14.1 Non-Compete.


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

(a) During the Term of this Agreement (i.e., this Agreement has not been terminated in its entirety) and for an additional period of [*CONFIDENTIAL*] thereafter with respect to the U.S. and RoW, and, with respect to Japan, [*CONFIDENTIAL*] thereafter, in each case following: (i) the early termination of this Agreement [*CONFIDENTIAL*] (provided, for clarity, that no such additional period shall apply in the case of the natural expiration of this Agreement), each Party shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and its Sublicensees do not, directly or indirectly, conduct, have conducted, exploit, or fund any activity that involves the conduct of, [*CONFIDENTIAL*] any compound or product in or for Japan that is intended [*CONFIDENTIAL*] other than, in each case of (1) and (2), the Compound and Product in accordance with this Agreement and any applicable supply agreement between the Parties. For clarity, the Parties agree that the scopes of restrictions with respect to subsections (1) and (2) shall be independent of each other, and accordingly that any restrictions set forth in subsection (2) with respect to the U.S. and RoW above will not, and are not intended to, result in any substantive expansion or modification to the scope of restrictions under the subsection (1) with respect to Japan. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 14.1 (Non-Compete) be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under Applicable Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. KKC and MEI believe that the restrictive covenants in this Section 14.1 (Non-Compete) are valid and enforceable. However, if any restrictive covenant should for any reason become or be declared by a competent court or competition authority to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such restrictive covenant shall be deemed to have been amended to the extent necessary in order that such provision be valid and enforceable, provided that such amendment shall apply only with respect to the operation of such provision of this Section 14.1 (Non-Compete) in the particular jurisdiction in which such declaration is made.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 14.1(a) (Non-Compete), if during the relevant time period under Section 14.1(a) (Non-Compete), a Party (such Party, the “Acquiring Party”) or any of its Affiliates (as applicable) merges or consolidates with, or otherwise acquires, or is acquired by, a Third Party wherein such Third Party is engaged in activities that would otherwise constitute a breach of Section 14.1(a) (Non-Compete) (a “Competitive Program”), unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, the Acquiring Party shall, within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] after the closing date of the merger, consolidation or acquisition, notify the other Party in writing that it intends to either (i) [*CONFIDENTIAL*] or (ii) [*CONFIDENTIAL*].

(ii) intends [*CONFIDENTIAL*], then the Acquiring Party or its relevant Affiliate shall use all reasonable efforts to effect [*CONFIDENTIAL*] quickly as possible (and in any event within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of the date of such written notice); provided, that, if the Acquiring Party or its relevant Affiliate fails to complete

(d) Either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. The arbitrators’ authority to award punitive or any other type of damages not measured by a Party’s compensatory damages shall be subject to the limitation set forth in Section 13.5 (Special, Indirect and Other Losses). Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees and an equal share of the arbitrators’ fees and any administrative fees of arbitration.

In no event shall an arbitration be initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the dispute, controversy or claim would be barred by the applicable New York statute of limitations.

(f) The Parties agree that, in the event of a dispute over the nature or quality of performance under this Agreement, neither Party may terminate this Agreement until final resolution of the dispute through arbitration or other judicial determination. The Parties further agree that any payments made pursuant to this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute shall be refunded if an arbitrator or court determines that such payments are not due.

In addition, either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes pertaining to the construction, scope, validity, enforceability, inventorship or infringement of a patent, patent application, trademark or copyright, and no such claim shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 14.12 (Dispute Resolution).

Financial Exhibit

Net Profit or Loss shall exclude all of the payments set forth in Sections 8.1 (Upfront Payment), 4.4(a) (U.S. –Milestone Payments), 5.3 (JP – Financial Terms), 6.3 (RoW – Financial Terms), all Development Costs and capital expenditures, and any other cost not specifically included in U.S. Commercialization Costs, including costs attributable to general corporate activities, executive management, investor relations, treasury services, business development, corporate government relations, external financial reporting and other overhead activities. For the sake of clarity, cost items included in components of Net Profit or Loss shall not be double counted and shall not be included in Development Costs.

Calculation of Net Profit or Loss

Net Profit or Loss shall be calculated for each Calendar Quarter by determining the Net Sales of Products in the U.S., adding any Other Income and subtracting the sum of the U.S. Commercialization Costs incurred with regard to Products in the U.S. during such Calendar Quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on a Calendar Year-to-date basis, U.S. Commercialization Costs shall not be included in such calculation if such expenses are in excess of the amounts allocated for such Calendar Year-to-date period, in the applicable U.S. Commercialization Budget and each Party will be solely responsible for U.S. Commercialization Costs it incurs in excess of the amounts set forth in the U.S. Commercialization Budget; provided, however, that U.S. Commercialization Costs in excess of the applicable U.S. Commercialization Budget shall be included in the calculation of Net Profit or Loss (i) if the JSC approves such excess U.S. Commercialization Costs (either before or after they are incurred), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld to the extent the U.S. Commercialization Costs in excess of the applicable U.S. Commercialization Budget were not within the reasonable control of the Party (or Party’s Affiliate) incurring such expense, (ii) to the extent such excess does not exceed by more than [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of the total U.S. Commercialization Costs allocated to be incurred by such Party and its Affiliates in the applicable Calendar Year-to-date period in accordance with the applicable U.S. Commercialization Budget for such Calendar Year, or (iii) if such U.S. Commercialization Cost is a Product Liability-related cost which were not anticipated at the time the applicable Budget was established for a Calendar Year, in which case such Product Liability-related costs shall not be included for determining whether the Parties have exceeded the amounts budgeted to be incurred by such Parties in such Calendar Year for U.S. Commercialization Costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for clarity, Product Liability-related costs that are entitled to indemnification under Article 13 (Indemnification; Liability) shall be solely borne by the relevant Indemnifying Party, and shall not be shared hereunder.

General Principles.

Each Party shall provide financial statements in such reporting format as the JFC may establish for use by the Parties.


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

All calculations to be made pursuant to this Financial Exhibit shall be made in accordance with (i) the applicable definitions and terms set forth in this Financial Exhibit and in the Agreement in a manner consistent with the methodologies used for the applicable U.S. Commercialization Budget (first priority), (ii) the specific accounting policies as may be established by JFC (second priority) and (iii) GAAP (third priority). All undefined terms shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, but only to the extent consistent with the other express terms and definitions in this Financial Exhibit and the Agreement and specific accounting policies established by the JFC.

For the avoidance of doubt, income and withholding Taxes imposed on either of the Parties or their Affiliates hereunder will not be included in the calculation of Net Profit or Loss.

Reconciliations

The JFC will coordinate to resolve any differences in or disputes regarding the calculation of Net Profit or Loss, or any component thereof and escalate any unresolved differences for resolution to the JSC.

SAN DIEGO, and TOKYO, April 15, 2020 – MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEIP) and Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (Kyowa Kirin, TSE: 4151) today jointly announced that the companies have entered into a global license, development and commercialization agreement to further develop and commercialize MEI’s ME-401, an oral, once-daily, investigational drug-candidate, selective for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase delta (PI3Kd), in clinical development for the treatment of B-cell malignancies. MEI and Kyowa Kirin will co-develop and co-promote ME-401 in the U.S., with MEI booking all revenue from U.S. sales. Kyowa Kirin has exclusive commercialization rights outside of the U.S.

ME-401 is being studied in the ongoing Phase 2 TIDAL clinical trial evaluating patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma which, subject to results, may support an accelerated approval of a marketing application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). An ongoing Phase 1b study is evaluating ME-401 as a monotherapy and in combination with rituximab (Rituxan^®) or zanubrutinib (Brukinsa^™) in patients with B-cell malignancies. Also, a Phase 1 study was initiated in 2019 evaluating ME-401 as a monotherapy in patients with indolent B-cell malignancy in Japan.

“This global partnership with Kyowa Kirin is a key step to achieving our goal of broadly developing and commercializing ME-401, optimizing the opportunity to benefit patients across multiple B-cell malignancies inside and outside the U.S., and also building value for our shareholders,” said Xxxxx X. Xxxx, X.X., chief operating officer & general counsel of MEI Pharma. “The decision to expand our alliance with Kyowa Kirin is based on the successful relationship we’ve built working together to date under our 0000 Xxxxx license agreement, and the respect we have for Kyowa Kirin and their ability to jointly execute our shared vision of ME-401 in the U.S. and around the world.”


Confidential		EXECUTION VERSION

“I am delighted to expand our agreement with MEI Pharma for the development and commercialization of ME-401 all over the world,” said Tomohiro Sudo, Executive Officer, Director of Strategic Product Planning Department for Kyowa Kirin. “We believe that ME-401 may be an important new treatment option for patients and further enhances our global oncology pipeline.

About the Global License, Development and Commercialization Agreement

Under the terms of the agreement, which substantially retains and consolidates the terms of the 2018 license agreement between MEI and Kyowa Kirin to develop and commercialize ME-401 in Japan, MEI will receive a $100 million upfront payment from Kyowa Kirin. MEI is also eligible to receive up to $582.5 million in additional payments from Kyowa Kirin depending on the achievement of certain U.S. and ex-U.S. development, regulatory and commercial milestones.

If approved by FDA in the U.S., MEI and Kyowa Kirin will co-promote ME-401, with MEI booking all revenue from sales. MEI and Kyowa Kirin will share U.S. profits and costs (including development costs) on a 50-50 basis.

Outside the U.S., Kyowa Kirin will have exclusive commercialization rights, lead commercialization and book all revenues from sales of ME-401. Kyowa Kirin will pay MEI escalating tiered royalties on ex-U.S. sales starting in the teens. Kyowa Kirin will be responsible for all incremental ex-U.S. clinical development costs and all ex-U.S. regulatory, CMC and commercial costs.

The companies have agreed to a development plan designed to broadly evaluate ME-401 in patients with various B-cell malignancies, including in combination with other agents.

About XX-000

XXX-000 is an investigational treatment and not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or other Health Authorities. Clinical development of ME-401 as an oral, once-daily, selective PI3Kd inhibitor for the treatment of B-cell malignancies is ongoing. The U.S. FDA recently granted ME-401 Fast Track designation.

MEI is currently conducting two ongoing studies evaluating ME-401. The first is a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating ME-401 as a monotherapy for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma after failure of at least two prior systemic therapies including chemotherapy and an anti-CD20 antibody. Subject to the results, upon completion of the Phase 2 clinical trial, ME-401 is planned to be submitted with the FDA to support an accelerated approval of a marketing application under 21 CFR Part 314.500, Subpart H. The second study is a multi-arm, open-label, Phase 1b dose escalation and expansion trial evaluating ME-401 as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapies or investigational agents in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies. Additionally, a Phase 1 study was initiated by Kyowa Kirin in 2019 evaluating ME-401 as a monotherapy in patients with indolent B-cell malignancy in Japan.
