All decisions of the Steering Committee made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by consensus with each Party having one vote; provided, however, that in the event of a disagreement between Chiesi and Protalix with respect to any such proposed decision for which another decision-making mechanism is not expressly provided for herein and subject to the relevant provisions hereunder:

(i) the Chiesi Chair shall have the final decision-making authority with respect to (A) Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, (B) regulatory plans and strategies relating to the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any clinical matters relating to the Licensed Product in the Field), (C) following Launch, Commercial Medical Affairs and Pharmacovigilance in the Territory, and (D) at any point after six (6) months following the Effective Date, any and all regulatory matters concerning the Licensed Product, including in respect of any Regulatory Approvals, associated regulatory filings, or post-approval communications with or requirements of the FDA (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any clinical matters relating to the Licensed Product in the Field), subject to the obligation to consider the other Party’s comments in good faith [***];

(ii) the Protalix Chair shall have the final decision-making authority with respect to (A) any regulatory matters concerning the Licensed Product until six (6) months after the Effective Date, and any medical affairs and pharmacovigilance functions prior to the transfers contemplated in Section 3.6(d) (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any clinical matters relating to the Licensed Product in the Field), subject to the obligation to consider the other Party’s comments in good faith [***], (B) the Protalix Patent Rights and Protalix Technology and Protalix’s rights in or to the Protalix Patent Rights and Protalix Technology, (C) any CMC (and pre-clinical) matters in respect of the Licensed Product; provided that neither Party shall be permitted to commence any new preclinical activities in respect of the Licensed Product in the Field without first reaching agreement with the other Party as to the conduct of such preclinical activities, and (D) any [***] or other issues relating to the Licensed Product outside the Field; and

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(iii) in respect of all clinical matters relating to the Licensed Product in the Field: (1) for any such matter relating to the Bridge Study or that otherwise do not affect Chiesi’s rights in the Territory in any material respect, the governance principles set out in Section 3.3(d) of the Ex-US Agreement shall apply, (2) for any such matter relating to the Extension Studies, the Chiesi Chair shall have the final decision-making authority, and (3) for so long as this Agreement is in effect, notwithstanding anything in the contrary in the Ex-US Agreement, for all other such matters, neither Party shall have final decision-making authority with respect to any such clinical matters relating to the Licensed Product in the Field, and such matters shall be resolved by the Parties by consensus through the Steering Committee within ninety (90) days of such matter first being brought to the attention of the Steering Committee. In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve any such clinical matter by consensus through the Steering Committee within such ninety (90) day period, such matter shall be escalated to the Parties’ respective Chief Executive Officers, who shall attempt to resolve such issue within a subsequent thirty (30) day period.

(iv) in the event of a disagreement in respect of a matter unrelated to the subject-matter of Sections 3.3(d)(i), 3.3(d)(ii) or 3.3(d)(iii), such matters shall be subject to the escalation and dispute resolution procedures set out in Section 14.2.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Protalix, in its sole discretion, deems it necessary due to a request or demand of a Regulatory Authority (but only where such request is mandatory or where failure to comply with such request could result in a penalty or actions against Protalix being imposed by such Regulatory Authority or a violation of applicable Law) or identified and immediate risk to patient safety, Protalix shall have the sole authority and the exclusive right to decide any matter in respect of the Development of the Licensed Product in the Field (other than with respect to (i) approving regulatory plans and strategies, and (ii) preparing and submitting regulatory filings and obtaining Regulatory Approvals after the transfer contemplated in Section 3.6(c)) without the approval of or any decision by the Steering Committee; provided, however, that Protalix shall use its reasonable efforts to provide notice to, and consult with, members of the Steering Committee, prior to exercising such discretion.

3.4 Records. During the Term, each Party will prepare and maintain accurate records and books relating to the progress and status of its activities under the Development Plan and otherwise in relation to the Development of the Drug Substance and Licensed Product.

3.5 Diligence. Subject to Chiesi’s compliance with Section 5.3, Protalix will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to carry out the Development Plan in order to Develop the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory (subject to Section 3.2(d)). Subject to Protalix’s compliance with Section 3.6(c), Chiesi will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek as soon as reasonably practicable Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory. Chiesi will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Launch and Commercialize the Licensed Product in the Territory, promptly following such Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product in the Field. The previous sentence above notwithstanding, if, prior to the submission of the NDA seeking Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Territory, Chiesi notifies Protalix in writing of any specific Competing Product Patents that, in Chiesi’s good faith evaluation may pose risks in relation to Chiesi’s Launch of the Licensed Product, and if, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such written notice, Protalix provides Chiesi with written notice that Protalix desires to jointly engage a law firm to advise regarding the same in accordance with this Section 3.5: (i) Protalix and Chiesi promptly shall jointly engage a law firm of reputable stature and experienced in patent matters related to biologic products and approved by both Parties (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to provide its legal opinion as to whether a judge or jury would be highly unlikely to conclude, in exercising its discretion in applying the applicable Laws to the facts, that the Launch of the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory would infringe the Third Party Patent(s) or Patent Application(s) (which the law firm concludes could reasonably be issued within eighteen (18) months of the anticipated Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Territory) specified in such notice (with each Party paying an equal share of all costs, fees and expenses to be paid to such law firm therefor, and the law firm shall be instructed to try to provide such opinion within sixty (60) days of the engagement), and (ii) in the event that such law firm does not, prior to Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, render a legal opinion that a judge or jury would be highly unlikely to conclude, in exercising its discretion in applying the applicable Laws to the facts, that the Launch of the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory would infringe the Third Party Patent(s) or Patent Application(s) (which the law firm concludes could reasonably be issued within eighteen (18) months of the anticipated Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Territory) specified in such notice (including where Protalix fails to provide written notice that it desires to jointly engage a law firm in accordance with this Section 3.5), Chiesi will have the ultimate decision-making authority on the timing of the Launch (subject to Section 12.1(f)), based upon Chiesi’s good faith evaluation of any risks associated with such specified Third Party Patents or Patent Applications. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (x) all communications with such law firm with respect to the foregoing, such law firm’s related work product, and such opinion (the “Privileged Materials”) shall be privileged and confidential and shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Parties, except that a Party may disclose the Privileged Materials in confidence to a court, tribunal or other authority of competent jurisdiction if reasonably necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement; provided that such Party seeks the highest level of confidential treatment for such Privileged Materials and limits the disclosure to the portion of the Privileged Material reasonably necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement, and (y) prior to engaging the law firm, the Parties shall enter into a reasonable and customary joint defense agreement or common interest agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure of the Parties to enter into such a joint defense agreement or common interest agreement shall not be construed or deemed as evidence of any waiver by any of the Parties of any applicable legal privilege or any of its or their rights in this Agreement, or as an indication that an applicable legal privilege has not attached to any Privileged Materials.

3.6 Regulatory Affairs.

(a) Copies of Regulatory Filings. Protalix shall provide to Chiesi, at Chiesi’s expense, copies in electronic form of any regulatory filings in the Territory relating to the Licensed Product, including any clinical trial authorizations (including any regulatory filings in the Territory seeking approval to conduct a study or clinical trial of the Licensed Product), other filings with Regulatory Authorities, supplements or amendments thereto, written correspondence with Regulatory Authorities regarding such regulatory filings, and existing written minutes of meetings and memoranda of formal conversations between Protalix (including, to the extent practicable, Protalix’s investigators) and Regulatory Authorities and any other document required to maintain the Regulatory Approvals (e.g. Trial Master Files) in Protalix’s possession (but, for clarity, excluding any informal communications, i.e., e-mails) to the extent Protalix has the right to access and provide to Chiesi such materials.

(b) Regulatory Responsibilities. Subject to Section 3.3(d), and prior to the transfer contemplated in Section 3.6(c) below, Protalix shall, subject to Chiesi’s direction and approval (by and through the Steering Committee or otherwise), be responsible for implementing all pre-Regulatory Approval regulatory plans and strategies for, and making any regulatory filings in respect of, the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any application to a Regulatory Authority seeking Regulatory Approval, which shall in each case, be in the name of, and submitted by, Chiesi). Without limiting the foregoing, following the transfer contemplated in Section 3.6(c):

(i) Chiesi (or one or more of its designated Affiliates) will own and be responsible for preparing, seeking, and submitting such regulatory filings as are necessary to obtain Regulatory Approval and then maintaining all Regulatory Approvals and any post-approval regulatory filings, for the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, including preparing all reports necessary as part of such Regulatory Approvals or post-approval regulatory filings. Protalix shall have the right and be responsible to prepare and promptly submit to Chiesi any non-clinical, clinical and Manufacturing portions (including CMC) of such regulatory filings and any related reports (subject to Chiesi’s approval rights with respect to such regulatory filing as a whole), at Chiesi’s sole cost and expense (unless such costs are Development Costs or other costs expressly addressed hereunder or by a separate agreement between the Parties). Protalix shall consider in good faith any proposed revision reasonably made by Chiesi thereto and Protalix shall otherwise provide such assistance as Chiesi reasonably requires, at Chiesi’s sole cost and expense (unless such costs are Development Costs or other costs expressly addressed hereunder or by a separate agreement between the Parties), to obtain Regulatory Approvals for the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory.

(ii) Following the transfer contemplated in Section 3.6(c), but in any event, no later than the grant of Regulatory Approval, Chiesi shall (A) subject to Section 5.3(e), assume sole responsibility for seeking authorization in respect of, conducting, and otherwise interacting with the FDA in respect of, any Post-Approval Studies, and (B) have the right to apply for, and secure, exclusivity rights that may be available under Law in the Territory, including any Regulatory Exclusivity. Protalix shall reasonably cooperate with Chiesi, and take such reasonable actions to assist Chiesi, at Chiesi’s sole cost and expense, in obtaining such exclusivity rights in the Territory, as Chiesi may reasonably request from time to time.

For the avoidance of doubt (A) at all relevant times during the Term, Chiesi shall have the final decision-making authority in respect of all regulatory plans and strategies for the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory; provided that Chiesi shall reasonably consider any comments on such plans and strategies that Protalix may communicate (through the Steering Committee or otherwise); and (B) following Regulatory Approval in the Territory, Chiesi shall be solely responsible for any such activities as are initiated after the date of such Regulatory Approval that would otherwise constitute Development activities had they been initiated prior to the grant of such Regulatory Approval.

(c) Transfer of Regulatory Filings. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, at a time to be agreed by and through the Steering Committee, with such time to be prior to any application to the FDA seeking Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory (and, in any event, but subject to the proviso set forth below, as soon as reasonably practicable after [***], and at Chiesi’s sole cost and expense, Protalix shall assign and transfer to Chiesi Protalix’s entire right, title and interest in and to all regulatory filings in the Territory with respect to the Compound, Drug Substance, Drug Product or Licensed Product in the Field, and shall perform all other actions reasonably requested by Chiesi to effect and confirm such assignment and transfer, at Chiesi’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, all right, title and interest in and to any clinical trial authorizations or other clinical regulatory filings as are necessary to support the continued conduct of and completion of the Ongoing Clinical Studies and any [***] shall remain vested in Protalix, until completion of such studies.

(d) Transfer of Regulatory Responsibilities. Subject to the terms of the Development Plan:

(i) The Parties shall cooperate through the Steering Committee to ensure that any such assignments and transfers under Section 3.6(c), do not impede Protalix’s ability to conduct and complete the Ongoing Clinical Studies and [***]. After each such assignment and transfer is effective, Chiesi shall (and does hereby) grant Protalix a right to use and make reference to such regulatory filings so assigned and transferred (and any subsequent regulatory filings made or Regulatory Approvals in such Countries as are obtained by Chiesi in respect of the Licensed Product in the Field) as necessary for Protalix (x) to conduct and complete the Ongoing Clinical Studies and any [***], and (y) to conduct and complete any other clinical studies as necessary for Protalix to complete in order to file, and to file, for Regulatory Approval for (A) the Licensed Product outside the Territory in accordance with the Ex-US Agreement, or (B) any New Use (or other drug product containing the Drug Substance outside of the Field) anywhere in the world.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(ii) After such transfer of ownership of such regulatory filings relating to the Drug Substance (or Drug Product) as incorporated into the Licensed Product (and for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any regulatory filings and Regulatory Approvals with respect to the Drug Substance (or Drug Product) as part of any New Use), or Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, during the Term, all regulatory filings seeking Regulatory Approval in the Territory and all subsequent post-approval regulatory filings that are filed with the FDA and which pertain to the Drug Substance (or Drug Product) as incorporated into the Licensed Product (and for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any such regulatory filings with respect to the Drug Substance (or Drug Product) as part of any New Use), or Licensed Product in the Field, in each case, in the Territory, shall be made in the name of Chiesi or its Affiliates in accordance with Section 3.6(e), and any Post-Approval Studies shall be conducted in the name of, and shall be the sole responsibility of, Chiesi and its Affiliates (subject to Section 5.3(g)).

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, Protalix shall remain responsible for the preparation of any non-clinical (including pre-clinical and CMC), clinical, and Manufacturing portions of regulatory filings submitted by Chiesi seeking Regulatory Approval with the FDA, and shall otherwise provide reasonable assistance to Chiesi in finalizing such regulatory filings for submission to the FDA (in each case subject to Chiesi’s approval rights with respect to the regulatory filing as a whole).

(iv) As part of the process of fixing a time for the regulatory transfer contemplated under Section 3.6(c), and subject to the terms of the Pharmacovigilance Agreement, the Steering Committee shall also set out a timeline for the orderly transfer of any pharmacovigilance (for post-Launch Commercialization) and medical affairs functions in the Territory from Protalix to Chiesi (as well as the role of primary contact for KOL management and patient advocacy) (such functions, following the completion of such transfer from Protalix to Chiesi, to be referred to as “Commercial Medical Affairs and Pharmacovigilance”), with such medical affairs functions to be fully transferred within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date, but prior to the grant of Regulatory Approval, and with such pharmacovigilance functions to be fully transferred upon Launch; provided, that until such time as each of the Ongoing Clinical Trials and any [***] are completed, and the clinical study reports for each such clinical study are finalized, Protalix shall retain responsibility for patient safety monitoring, and shall remain the primary contact with each applicable KOL, in respect of such clinical studies.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to the terms of the Pharmacovigilance Agreement, the Steering Committee may by mutual agreement modify the division of regulatory responsibilities as between the Parties, including by having Protalix retain certain regulatory responsibilities following the transfer contemplated by Section 3.6(c), or by having Chiesi assume certain regulatory responsibilities prior to the transfer contemplated by Section 3.6(c) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where such division of responsibilities differs from the terms of the Development Plan); provided, however, that (i) in no circumstances may Chiesi assume responsibility for or control over any clinical aspects of the Development Plan, including the conduct of the Ongoing Clinical Studies (except in the case of Chiesi exercising its step-in rights as provided for in Section 3.2(b) or the conduct by Chiesi of any Additional Studies, Pediatric Study, Registry or [***] as provided hereunder); and (ii) in any event, all regulatory responsibilities in respect of the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory (including, for clarity, each of the transfers of regulatory responsibility contemplated in this Section 3.6), shall be completely assumed by Chiesi as soon as reasonably practicable after [***]; provided, that until such time as each of the Ongoing Clinical Trials and any [***] are completed, and the clinical study reports for each such clinical study are finalized, Protalix shall retain responsibility for patient safety monitoring, and shall remain the primary contact with each applicable KOL, in respect of such clinical studies.

(e) Rights of Reference and Access to Data. Chiesi shall (and does hereby) grant to Protalix a non-exclusive “Right of Reference,” as that term is defined in 21 C.F.R. § 314.3(b), or an equivalent non-exclusive right of access/reference in the United States and in the EU and in each other Country (A) solely for use by Protalix in connection with the Development and/or Commercialization of any New Use (or other drug product containing the Drug Substance outside of the Field), to any data in any regulatory filing in the Territory Controlled by Chiesi that relates to the Drug Substance or Licensed Product, and (B) solely for use by Protalix in connection with the Development of drug products made using the System, to any safety data (but not efficacy data) in any regulatory filing in the Territory Controlled by Chiesi that relates to the Drug Substance or Licensed Product. Chiesi shall provide a signed statement to this effect, if requested by Protalix, in accordance with 21 C.F.R. § 314.50(g)(3), or otherwise provide appropriate notification of such right of Protalix to the applicable Regulatory Authority. To the extent Chiesi shall need an equivalent “Right of Reference,” as that term is defined in 21 C.F.R. § 314.3(b), to exploit the rights granted hereunder in the Territory, Protalix shall (and does hereby) grant to Chiesi a non-exclusive Right of Reference, or an equivalent non-exclusive right of access/reference in the United States and in the EU and in each other Country, solely for use by Chiesi in connection with the Development and/or Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, and solely if and to the extent that Chiesi is authorized under this Agreement to conduct such Development and/or Commercialization, (A) to any data in any regulatory filing Controlled by Protalix that relates to the Drug Substance or Licensed Product, and (B) to any safety data (but not efficacy data) in any regulatory filing that relates to the Drug Substance or Licensed Product. Protalix shall provide a signed statement to this effect, if requested by Chiesi, in accordance with 21 C.F.R. § 314.50(g)(3), or otherwise provide appropriate notification of such right of Chiesi to the applicable Regulatory Authority.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(f) Pharmacovigilance. After the Effective Date [***], the safety units of each of the Parties shall meet and agree upon a written pharmacovigilance agreement that defines Chiesi’s pharmacovigilance responsibilities for the post-Launch Commercialization of Licensed Product in the Territory and Protalix’s pharmacovigilance responsibilities for the Licensed Product for pre-Launch Development activities in the Territory, and the process for exchanging adverse event reports and other safety information relating to a Licensed Product that will permit each Party to comply with applicable Laws and requirements of Regulatory Authorities (such agreement, the “Pharmacovigilance Agreement”); provided, that until such time as each of the Ongoing Clinical Trials and any [***] conducted by Protalix are completed, and the clinical study reports for each such clinical study are finalized, Protalix shall retain sole responsibility and be the primary contact for pharmacovigilance matters in respect of the Licensed Product.

(g) Communications with Regulatory Authorities.

(i) For so long as [***], Protalix, and after the assignment and transfer to Chiesi of such regulatory filings pursuant to Section 3.6(c), Chiesi, shall provide the other Party with notice of all meetings, conferences, and discussions (including advisory committee meetings or any other meeting of experts convened by a Regulatory Authority concerning any topic relevant to the Licensed Product) scheduled with a Regulatory Authority concerning any regulatory matters relating to the Licensed Product in the Field promptly after the scheduling of such meeting, conference, or discussion. The Party that does not, at the time of such meeting, own the regulatory filings described in Section 3.6(c) for the Licensed Product shall be entitled to have one or more representatives present at all such meetings to the extent permissible under applicable Law and reasonably practicable under the circumstances. Protalix and Chiesi shall use all reasonable efforts to agree in advance on the scheduling of such meetings, conferences and discussions and on the objectives to be accomplished at such meetings, conferences and discussions and the agenda for the meetings, conferences and discussions with the applicable Regulatory Authority, if any [***].

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(ii) For so long [***], Protalix, and after [***], Chiesi, shall provide the other Party with copies, which copies may be in draft form, of all material submissions to any Regulatory Authority in the Territory relating to the Licensed Product in the Field.

The Party making the submission shall consider the other Party’s comments in good faith with respect to such submission [***].

(iii) Each Party shall provide to the other Party, as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event more than [***] after its receipt, copies of any material documents or other material correspondence received from a Regulatory Authority pertaining to the Licensed Product in the Field.

(h) Regulatory Information. Each Party agrees to provide the other with all reasonable assistance and take all actions reasonably requested by the other Party that are necessary or desirable to enable the other Party to comply with any Law applicable to the Licensed Product. For clarity, to the extent that either Party provides reasonably requested assistance to the other Party in compliance with this Section 3.6(h), the requesting Party shall reimburse such Party for any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in respect thereof.

(i) Recalls or Other Corrective Action. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any material actions to be taken by such Party in the Territory or outside the Territory (as the case may be), with respect to any recall or market withdrawal or other corrective action related to the Licensed Product prior to such action, if reasonably practicable under the circumstances, to permit the other Party a reasonable opportunity to consult with such Party with respect thereto. [***].

(j) Ownership and Use of Clinical Data. Subject to Section 3.6(e), and subject to and solely to the extent expressly approved by the relevant IRB and permitted under applicable Law (and without violating the rights of any Third Party), all Clinical Data generated under this Agreement (solely in the Field and excluding (i) any regulatory filings submitted to any Governmental Authority, and (ii) rights in and to any Inventions or Patent Rights that arise out of or in relation to, or are otherwise embodied in, such data) shall be jointly owned by Protalix and Chiesi (the “Jointly Owned Clinical Data”), with each Party having an undivided one-half interest therein. If any such joint ownership cannot occur because such joint ownership is precluded by applicable Law, violates the rights of a Third Party or has not been expressly approved by the relevant IRB, the Party that owns such Clinical Data hereby grants the other Party a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to such Clinical Data, without any accounting to such Party, solely for use in a manner consistent with such Party’s rights under this Agreement and the Ex-US Agreement (and, with respect to Chiesi as licensee, solely in the Field in the Territory). For the avoidance of doubt, the ownership rights to Jointly Owned Clinical Data provided for in this Section 3.6(j) shall not include or apply to any Inventions or Patent Rights that arise out of or in relation to, or are otherwise embodied in, any such Clinical Data (or the collection, generation or use thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, Chiesi’s use of Jointly Owned Clinical Data is restricted to exercising its rights hereunder with respect to Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory and under the Ex-US Agreement with respect to Licensed Product in the Field outside the Territory.

3.7 Commercialization and Pricing.

(a) An initial draft Commercialization plan for the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory prepared by Chiesi is attached as Schedule 3.7 hereto, and the final version of such Commercialization plan shall be discussed and agreed upon between the Parties within [***] after the Effective Date (the “Initial Commercialization Plan”). Chiesi shall update such plan (any such updated plan, the “Commercialization Plan”) at least once per Calendar Year. Each such subsequent Commercialization Plan shall be submitted to the Steering Committee for review and discussion no later than thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the immediately succeeding Calendar Year. Protalix may, through its representatives on the Steering Committee, propose to Chiesi revisions to any such subsequent Commercialization Plan, and any proposed material updates or amendments to the Initial Commercialization Plan and any subsequent Commercialization Plan, that Protalix reasonably believes are appropriate, and Chiesi shall consider any such proposed revisions in good faith, but such Initial Commercialization Plan or Commercialization Plan, or any material amendments or updates thereto, shall not require approval of the Steering Committee.

(b) Chiesi shall have the sole authority and exclusive right to Commercialize, and shall be responsible for paying all costs and expenses associated with the Commercialization of, the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, including marketing, promoting, advertising, distributing, disposing, offering for sale, selling, Labeling and Packaging, final product release testing, exporting and importing, and [***] in its sole discretion.

3.8 Early Access Programs. The Parties shall discuss at the Steering Committee the appropriate mechanism for considering, approving, providing for supply of Licensed Product in respect of, and otherwise administering, any Early Access Programs [***].

3.9 Trademarks.

(a) License to Chiesi. Protalix hereby grants to Chiesi an exclusive (except as to Protalix) license, free of charge, to use the Protalix Trademarks in the Territory (and, for so long as the Ex-US Agreement remains in effect, outside the Territory) solely in connection with the Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field during the Term in the Territory (and, for so long as the Ex-US Agreement remains in effect, outside the Territory), solely to the extent requested to be used by Protalix pursuant to, and solely for the purposes set forth in, Section 3.10. If Chiesi decides to use the Protalix Trademarks in the Territory or outside the Territory, then Chiesi shall cooperate with Protalix in respect of [***] recording the trademark license instrument with the appropriate Governmental Authorities.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(b) Choice of Trademarks. Chiesi may choose, in its sole discretion, to use any trademarks to Commercialize the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory (and, for so long as the Ex-US Agreement remains in effect, outside the Territory), and Chiesi shall own all such trademarks, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Side Letter, other than the Protalix Trademarks or any other trademark owned or Controlled by Protalix at such time (such trademarks of Chiesi, the “Product Marks”).

(i) The quality of the Licensed Product sold by Chiesi in the Territory and outside of the Territory under or in connection with the Protalix Trademarks must be of a sufficiently high quality (in the event of the expiration or termination of the Ex-US Agreement, to be generally comparable to the quality of any Licensed Product sold by Protalix outside of the Territory under or in connection with the Protalix Trademarks).

(ii) Chiesi shall comply with all applicable Laws pertaining to the proper use and designation of the Protalix Trademarks.

(iii) Chiesi agrees to use the Protalix Trademarks only in the form and manner and with appropriate legends as prescribed from time to time during the Term by Protalix.

(vii) Chiesi shall not use any Protalix Trademark in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially impair the reputation of Protalix or any of its Affiliates.

(d) Prosecution and Maintenance of Trademarks. Chiesi shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, through counsel of its choosing, to prosecute and maintain the Product Marks in the Territory and outside the Territory.

(e) Enforcement of Trademarks. Each Party will promptly notify the other in the event of any actual, potential or suspected infringement of a Protalix Trademark or Product Xxxx by any Third Party. Chiesi shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to institute litigation or take other remedial measures in connection with Third Party infringement of Product Marks in the Territory and outside of the Territory. Any recoveries obtained by Chiesi resulting from such litigation or other appropriate action in the Territory and outside of the Territory in relation to the Product Marks, will be deemed Net Sales (under this Agreement or the Ex-US Agreement, as applicable) after having deducted any amount necessary to cover all costs and expenses incurred by Chiesi pursuant to the following sentence. All costs and expenses incurred by Chiesi in enforcing the Product Marks in the Territory and outside of the Territory shall be at Chiesi’s sole cost and expense. Protalix shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to institute litigation or take other remedial measures in connection with Third Party infringement of Protalix Trademarks. Upon request of Protalix, Chiesi agrees to timely join as party-plaintiff in any litigation in relation to the Protalix Trademarks, and in any event to cooperate with Protalix in connection with any infringement action in relation to the Protalix Trademarks, at Protalix’s cost and expense. All costs and expenses incurred by Protalix in enforcing the Protalix Trademarks [***]. Protalix shall retain all recoveries received by Protalix as a result of its enforcement of the Protalix Trademarks. For so long as this Agreement remains in effect, this Section 3.9 hereby amends, replaces and supersedes in its entirety Section 3.9 of the Ex-US Agreement, which shall be of no further force or effect for so long as this Agreement remains in effect. In the event that the Ex-US Agreement expires or is terminated, then this Section 3.9 shall continue to apply, but solely in respect of the Territory.

3.10 Use of Names. No right, expressed or implied, is granted by this Agreement to a Party to use in any manner the name or any other trade name of the other Party or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Chiesi agrees, during the Term, to display the Protalix corporate name and logo (the “Protalix Trademarks”) on the trade packaging used for the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory in a reasonable manner (or as may be required under applicable Law), unless to do so would be prohibited under applicable Laws, or is not in accordance with the request of a Regulatory Authority, subject to Protalix’s trademark usage guidelines applicable to the Protalix Trademarks provided from time to time during the Term, including at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of Chiesi’s first use of the Protalix Trademarks. Upon the written request of Protalix, Chiesi shall submit to Protalix a sample of each proposed use of the Protalix Trademarks.

Section 4.

MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY.

4.1 Commercial Supply of Licensed Product.

(a) In respect of the Territory, other than to the extent this provision would be a violation of any applicable Laws in the Territory, Protalix shall Manufacture and supply, and Chiesi shall purchase from Protalix, all of Chiesi’s and its Affiliates’ requirements of the Drug Product (and, after [***]) for incorporation into Licensed Product for commercial sale in the Field in the Territory pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement. Such supply shall be subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4 and the Quality Agreement.

(b) Supply of Licensed Product for Extension Studies. To the extent that Chiesi conducts any Extension Studies, solely in respect of any quantities of Licensed Product required for the purposes of such studies, Protalix shall Manufacture and supply, and Chiesi shall purchase from Protalix, all of Chiesi’s and its Affiliates’ requirements of the Drug Product (and, after [***]) for the sole purposes of being administered to patients enrolled in such studies. Such supply shall be subject to and any accordance with the terms of this Section 4 and the Quality Agreement, except that the Price to be paid by Chiesi for such supply shall be equal to: (i) [***] per vial of [***] of Drug Product (or, after [***] per mg of Drug Substance) for all such supply used prior to the date of submission of the first regulatory filing for Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product, or (ii) [***] per vial of [***] of Drug Product (or, after [***] per mg of Drug Substance) for all such supply used on or after the date of submission of the first regulatory filing for Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product (in each case, shipping and delivery terms in respect of such purchased units shall be as otherwise set out in Section 4.7 below). For the avoidance of doubt, the Price paid by Chiesi in respect of such supply shall not be included in the Development Costs or [***] and shall not be subject to the cost-sharing arrangements, Development Costs Cap or Annual Cap set forth in this Agreement or the Ex-US Agreement. Chiesi shall keep and maintain records of (x) each delivery of Drug Product (and, after [***]) it receives in respect of supply for use in Extension Studies, and (y) the administration of such Licensed Product, on a patient-by-patient and site-by-site basis, in respect of such Extension Studies. Chiesi shall provide copies of the foregoing records to Protalix on a calendar quarterly basis (and otherwise on Protalix’s reasonable request), together with a written report indicating then-current inventory levels of Drug Product (and, after [***]) intended for use in such Extension Studies.

4.2 [***].

4.3 Protalix Manufacturing Activities. Protalix shall have the sole authority and exclusive right for, and Protalix shall be responsible for, the Manufacture of Drug Product and, after [***].

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

4.4 Compliance of Third Parties. In the event that Protalix conducts any Manufacturing activities through an Affiliate or Third Party, Protalix shall be responsible for the performance of such Affiliate or Third Party in accordance with the terms of this Section 4. In the event that Chiesi conducts any Labeling and Packaging or, after [***] activities through an Affiliate or Third Party (such performance by an Affiliate or Third Party to comply with the terms of Section 2.4), Chiesi shall be responsible for the performance of such Affiliate or Third Party in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.

4.5 Forecasting and Ordering.

(a) Forecasts; Purchase Orders. [***], Chiesi shall deliver to Protalix Chiesi’s quarterly projection of the quantities of Drug Product (or, after [***]) that Chiesi anticipates ordering from Protalix pursuant to this Agreement for the four (4) Commercial Quarters commencing with the first Commercial Quarter that includes the first requested delivery date (the “Initial Forecast”), together with a firm purchase order (a “Purchase Order”) for such Drug Product (or, after [***]) for the first Commercial Quarter covered by such Initial Forecast and for at least [***] of the second Commercial Quarter covered by such Initial Forecast. The quantities of Drug Product (or, after [***]) specified for the following [***] of such Initial Forecast shall be non-binding. Thereafter, [***] prior to the first Business Day of each subsequent Commercial Quarter during the Term, Chiesi shall deliver to Protalix a rolling [***] Commercial Quarter forecast updating the prior forecast (together with the Initial Forecast, each a “Forecast”), together with a Purchase Order for such Drug Product (or, after [***]) for the first Commercial Quarter covered by such Forecast and for at least [***] of the second Commercial Quarter covered by such Forecast. The quantities of Drug Product (or, after [***]) specified for the following two (2) Commercial Quarters of such Forecast shall be non-binding. Unless agreed separately between the Parties, each Purchase Order shall (i) specify no more than one (1) delivery date for the Drug Product (or, after [***]) in each Commercial Quarter (unless each such delivery date in such Commercial Quarter is for a quantity of vials equal to the Minimum Batch Size or an exact multiple thereof), and (ii) be for a minimum quantity of the Minimum Batch Size. For the avoidance of doubt, for so long as this Agreement and the Ex-US Agreement are both in effect, the Minimum Batch Size shall apply on a combined basis with respect to unlabeled vials ordered and released in respect of anticipated sales in the Territory and outside of the Territory (i.e., Chiesi may split the ordered unlabeled vials included in the Minimum Batch Size (currently [***] vials) between amounts ordered for anticipated sales in the Territory and outside of the Territory, so long as such Purchase Order is for the Minimum Batch Size or an exact multiple thereof). Purchase Orders shall be in writing and no verbal communications or e-mail shall be construed to mean a commitment to purchase or sell. Each Purchase Order delivered by Chiesi to Protalix pursuant to this Section 4.5(a) shall be binding on Protalix, unless Protalix notifies Chiesi in writing of its rejection thereof within [***] of receipt of such Purchase Order; provided that Protalix may only reject Purchase Orders that do not comply with the terms of this Agreement or are otherwise not valid Purchase Orders (e.g., do not contain the requisite details).

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(b) Long Range Capacity Planning. Concurrent with the Initial Forecast, for the purposes of discussion and planning of Manufacturing capacity, Chiesi shall provide a non-binding forecast of its projected Drug Product [***] needs for the [***] Commercial Quarters following that specified in the Initial Forecast as described in Section 4.5(a) (a “Long Range Forecast”). Each Long Range Forecast shall be deemed to be revised by any subsequent Forecast. In the event Protalix anticipates that it will be unable to supply the quantities of Drug Product [***] reflected in a Long Range Forecast, Protalix shall promptly notify Chiesi and the Parties shall work to remedy the shortfall in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Section 4 in an effort to assure that the necessary capacity exists. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties during the Term, the Long Range Forecast shall be updated by Chiesi annually by July 1 of each Commercial Year during the Term.

(c) Receipt and Acceptance. Chiesi shall purchase all Drug Product [***] ordered and specified in a Purchase Order. Purchase Orders may be delivered electronically or by other means to such location as Protalix shall designate. Nothing in any such Purchase Order or written acceptance shall supersede the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Quality Agreement. All Purchase Orders, confirmations of receipt of Purchase Orders and other notices contemplated under this Section 4.5(c) shall be sent to the attention of such persons as each Party may identify to the other in writing from time to time in accordance with Section 15.8.

(d) First-Expired First-Out. Chiesi shall use its inventory of Licensed Product, and any shipments of Drug Product [***], and each Party shall use its Safety Stock Amounts (as and when necessary), in each case, on a first-expired first-out (FEFO) basis in order to ensure that the Licensed Product in Chiesi’s inventory (and the supply of Drug Product or, after [***], used in the production of such Licensed Product inventory) always has the maximum period of time remaining on the retest period.

4.6 Pricing, Invoicing and Supply Price Reconciliation.

(a) Supply Delivery Price; Invoices.

(i) Each delivery of Drug Product [***] under a Purchase Order hereunder shall be accompanied by an invoice. Protalix shall invoice such Drug Product [***] at the Price as at the date of such invoice. Chiesi shall issue payment against such invoices within [***] days of the invoice date. Protalix shall include the following information, where applicable, on all invoices: the type, description, and quantity of the product delivered; the date of shipment; the prices; any applicable taxes, transportation charges or other charges provided for in the applicable Purchase Order; and the applicable Purchase Order number.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(b) Taxes. All sales and use taxes which Protalix is required by applicable Law to collect from Chiesi with respect to the Manufacture and supply of Drug Product [***] to Chiesi shall be separately stated in Protalix’s invoice and shall be paid by Chiesi to Protalix. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all applicable taxes shall be payable by Chiesi in addition to the Price payable on such Licensed Products. Protalix shall be solely responsible for the timely payment of all such taxes to the applicable taxing authority.

(c) Initial Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, before the start of the first Commercial Year in which Protalix is obligated to deliver Drug Product [***] pursuant to a Purchase Order issued by Chiesi, Protalix shall sell, and Chiesi shall purchase, the amount of Drug Product [***] ordered for delivery in the first Commercial Year at a Price determined by the Parties in good faith at least one Commercial Quarter prior to the anticipated start of the first Commercial Year in the Territory, reflecting [***] in the Territory.

(d) Ongoing Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in any Commercial Year other than the first Commercial Year, Protalix shall sell, and Chiesi shall purchase, the amount of Drug Product [***] ordered for delivery in such Commercial Year at a Price equal to [***].

(e) [***]

(f) For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Rate” shall mean [***]:

Aggregate Annual Net Sales of Licensed Products	Applicable Rates

Less than [***]	[***]

Equal to or greater than [*] and less than [*]	[***]

Equal to or greater than [*] and less than [*]	[***]

Equal to or greater than [*] and less than [*]	[***]

Equal to or greater than [*] and less than [*]	[***]

Equal to or greater than [***]	[***]

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(g) Quarterly Reconciliation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Price paid by Chiesi for the Drug Product [***] ordered for delivery hereunder in any Commercial Quarter be less than [***]. If, at the end of a Commercial Quarter, the Price paid by Chiesi for the supply hereunder of Drug Product [***] during any Commercial Quarter is less than [***] in the aggregate, Chiesi shall pay Protalix the difference between such amounts against receipt of a proper invoice within [***] of the invoice date. For the avoidance of doubt, such amounts shall be in addition to (and in no way are intended to replace or subtract from) the amounts set forth in Section 4.6(g) of the Ex-US Agreement, which separately addresses the quarterly reconciliation of the Price paid for delivery under the Ex-US Agreement. In the event that the Ex-US Agreement expires or is terminated (other than termination by Chiesi for Protalix’s material breach pursuant to and in accordance with Section 12.1(b) of the Ex-US Agreement), the references above to the minimum Price to be paid by Chiesi for the Drug Product [***] ordered for delivery hereunder in any Commercial Quarter shall be increased to [***], and such increase shall be effective in respect of both the Commercial Quarter in which such expiration or termination of the Ex-US Agreement occurred and any subsequent Commercial Quarters during the Term, until such time as Protalix enters into a new exclusive license agreement with a Third Party for the Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field in the territory (or substantially all of the territory) covered by the Ex-US Agreement.

(h) Yearly Reconciliation. The amounts due from Chiesi for Drug Product [***] ordered for delivery in each Commercial Year, as listed on the first invoice delivered to Chiesi for such Commercial Year, shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the amount of a Reconciliation Adjustment aggregated in the Territory and meant to compensate in such Commercial Year for any inaccuracy in the Price paid in the Territory in the prior Commercial Year (the “Yearly Reconciliation”); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the amount due from Chiesi for the Drug Product [***] ordered for delivery in any Commercial Year be less than [***] in the aggregate for any Commercial Year (the “Minimum Payment”), subject to the potential pro-rata reduction of the Minimum Payment for failure to supply provided for in Section 4.14(f). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Reconciliation Adjustment” shall mean the aggregate in the Territory of the difference between:

(i) [***]; and,

(ii) [***].

Each Reconciliation Adjustment shall be settled against receipt of a proper credit note or debit note within [***] of the note date; provided that if any Reconciliation Amount is in the favor of Chiesi, such amounts shall be credited against the amount stated on the next issued invoice relating to the delivery of Drug Product [***] by Protalix to Chiesi under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, such amounts shall be in addition to (and in no way are intended to replace or subtract from) the amounts set forth in Section 4.6(h) of the Ex-US Agreement, which separately addresses the yearly reconciliation of the Price paid for delivery under the Ex-US Agreement. In the event that the Ex-US Agreement expires or is terminated (other than termination by Chiesi for Protalix’s material breach pursuant to and in accordance with Section 12.1(b) of the Ex-US Agreement), the references above to the Minimum Payment to be paid by Chiesi for the Drug Product [***] ordered for delivery in any Commercial Year shall be increased to [***] in the aggregate, and such increase shall be effective in respect of both the Commercial Year in which such expiration or termination of the Ex-US Agreement occurred and any subsequent Commercial Years during the Term, until such time as Protalix enters into a new exclusive license agreement with a Third Party for the Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field in the territory (or substantially all of the territory) covered by the Ex-US Agreement.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(i) Maximum Order Quantity. [***], the Parties shall agree in good faith on a maximum order quantity for the [***] and subsequent Commercial Years (the “Maximum Order Quantity”), expressed as a percentage above the amount of vials sold in the Territory in the prior Commercial Year [***] to mitigate the risk to Protalix of Chiesi ordering more Licensed Product than will be sold in such Commercial Year. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on the Maximum Order Quantity in the Territory by [***], (i) the Parties shall attempt to reach an agreement by consensus through the Steering Committee, and (ii) if the Parties are still unable to reach an agreement within [***] of commencement of such Steering Committee discussions, the issue shall be escalated to the Parties’ respective Chief Executive Officers, who shall attempt to resolve the issue within [***]. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Protalix shall have no obligation to supply Drug Product [***] in excess of the Maximum Order Quantity for the Territory.

(j) [***]

4.7 Shipping and Delivery.

(a) Delivery. Protalix shall deliver (or have delivered) to Chiesi in accordance with this Section 4.7 the quantities of the Drug Product [***] specified for a given delivery date in each Purchase Order [***]. Protalix shall deliver (or have delivered) (i) after [***] with a remaining shelf-life of [***], or (ii) prior to [***], with a remaining shelf life [***].

(b) Delivery Terms. The Drug Product [***] shall be supplied to Chiesi [***]. The Drug Product [***] shall be shipped at [***]. Chiesi shall be [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, Protalix shall be responsible for the importation of the Drug Substance in the EU with respect to the shipment of Drug Substance from Protalix to [***], and for compliance with all applicable Laws relating to such importation.

(c) Retention. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, Protalix shall maintain analytical samples of each batch of Drug Product (or, if necessary, Drug Substance) in storage for a time period based upon Protalix’s sample retention policy.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

4.8 Certificate of Analysis; Acceptance and Returns.

(a) Certificate of Analysis; Notice of Non-Conformance.

(i) Protalix shall supply to Chiesi the applicable batch number for the Drug Product [***] delivered, as well as such other information as the Parties may set forth in the Quality Agreement with respect to Manufacture (a “Manufacturing Certificate of Analysis”) for all Drug Product [***] shipped to Chiesi hereunder. Chiesi shall (within the time period specified in Section 4.8(b)) inspect, or cause to have inspected, each shipment of the Drug Product [***] for any material damage, defect or shortage and give Protalix written notice of any such material damaged, defective or short shipment (a “Notice of Non-Conformance”) within the time periods specified in Sections 4.8(a)(ii) and 4.8(b), as applicable.

(ii) Latent defects shall be communicated to Protalix, together with appropriate detail, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date on which such latent defect was first discovered by Chiesi or was notified to Chiesi by the relevant Party discovering the defect.

(b) Rejection. Chiesi shall have [***] following its receipt of each shipment of the Drug Product [***] to inspect such shipment. If Chiesi determines that any shipment of the Drug Product [***] does not conform to the Product Specifications (or is otherwise a short shipment) in any material respect, it shall promptly notify Protalix within [***] following such determination in compliance with the procedures set forth in the Quality Agreement(s). Failure to provide such written notice with such time periods specified in Sections 4.8(a)(ii) and this 4.8(b), as applicable, shall be deemed acceptance of such shipment of Drug Product [***] by Chiesi.

(c) Disputes. If Chiesi delivers a Notice of Non-Conformance in respect of all or any part of a shipment of the Drug Product [***], and Protalix does not agree with Chiesi’s determination that such shipment fails to meet the Product Specifications (or is otherwise a short shipment) in any material respect, the Parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve such dispute at the Steering Committee; provided, however, that the Steering Committee must resolve any such dispute by consensus, and for the avoidance of doubt, neither the Protalix Chair nor Chiesi Chair shall have final decision-making authority in respect of such Steering Committee discussions; provided, however, that for the duration of such Steering Committee discussions, Protalix shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly replace such alleged non-conforming Drug Product [***] (or short shipment) in order to avoid any possible out-of-stock situation. The dispute shall be resolved at the Steering Committee within thirty (30) days, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, from the date of Protalix’s receipt of a Notice of Non-Conformance to resolve such dispute regarding whether all or any part of such shipment was not Manufactured in conformance with the Product Specifications (or was otherwise a short shipment) in any material respect. If the dispute regarding whether all or any part of a shipment rejected by Chiesi was not Manufactured in conformance with the Product Specifications (or was otherwise a short shipment) in any material respect is not resolved by the Steering Committee in such thirty (30) day period, [***].

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(d) Remedies. In the event any shipment of Drug Product [***] is rejected pursuant to this Section 4.8 as a result of any act or omission of Protalix, then (i) Chiesi shall, at the direction of Protalix, either (x) destroy such rejected Drug Product [***] (in accordance with applicable Law) or (y) return such rejected Drug Product [***] to Protalix, at a location designated by Protalix [***]; and (ii) Protalix [***] shall (in its sole discretion) either (x) use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly replace such non-conforming Drug Product [***] (or short shipment) or (y) give Chiesi a credit in an amount equal to the amount paid or payable by Chiesi with respect to such rejected Drug Product [***] (or short shipment).

4.9 Product Specification and Manufacturing Changes. Prior to the Parties entering into the Quality Agreement, Protalix shall inform Chiesi of material Product Specification and Manufacturing changes, including those resulting from a request received by Protalix from a Governmental Authority. Protalix shall notify Chiesi within a reasonable time prior to implementing such change, to allow Chiesi to assess the potential impact of such change upon the Drug Product supplied or its use by Chiesi and the implementation of such change shall not occur prior Chiesi’s written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). After the Parties enter into the Quality Agreement, Product Specification and Manufacturing changes, including those resulting from a request received by either Party from a Governmental Authority, shall be dealt with pursuant to the Quality Agreement; provided that all applicable Regulatory Approvals shall be prepared and filed by the Parties in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.

4.10 Labeling. Chiesi shall be responsible for the design of the Label for the Licensed Product in the Territory and for ensuring that such Label is accurate and complies with all applicable Laws. Chiesi shall be responsible for obtaining approval from applicable Governmental Authorities for any new Label or packaging or change to Label or packaging and shall bear all costs arising therefrom, including in respect of any write-off of materials and work-in-progress unless otherwise included or required as part of the Development of the Licensed Product.

4.11 Shortages. In the event that the materials and/or Manufacturing capacity required to Manufacture and to deliver in a timely manner to Chiesi the Drug Product [***] required under outstanding Purchase Orders are in short supply (“Shortage”), Protalix shall notify Chiesi of such Shortage and the Steering Committee shall promptly meet to discuss the Shortage. Protalix shall provide to the Steering Committee a written plan of action stating in reasonable detail the proposed measures to address such Shortage and the date such Shortage is expected to end. Protalix shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize the duration of any Shortage. During any such Shortage, Protalix shall allocate the materials and resources used in the supply of the Drug Product [***] both in the Territory and outside the Territory, in such percentage proportions as determined by Chiesi in its sole discretion; provided that, in the event that the Ex-US Agreement expires or is terminated, the foregoing sentence shall not apply, and instead Chiesi shall be allocated [***] of such materials and resources for use in the supply of the Drug Product [***] for use in the Territory. For so long as this Agreement remains in effect, this Section 4.11 hereby amends, replaces and supersedes in its entirety Section 4.11 of the Ex-US Agreement, which shall be of no further force or effect for so long as this Agreement remains in effect.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

4.12 Safety Stock Obligations

(a) Build-Up. [***], Protalix shall operate its Facility in order to start building inventory of [***], Drug Substance and Drug Product (the “Safety Stock”) with the quantity of [***], Drug Substance and Drug Substance remaining after Protalix supplies the quantities of Drug Product and, if applicable, Drug Substance necessary to conduct the Ongoing Clinical Studies and any [***] and, after the Launch in the Territory, to meet commercial demand. Protalix shall operate its Facility in such manner until there is a quantity of Safety Stock consisting of (i) Drug Product capable of fulfilling the [***] commercial needs for Licensed Product in the Territory [***], based on the rolling Forecasts submitted by Chiesi pursuant to Section 4.5, (ii) Drug Substance capable of fulfilling the [***] commercial needs for Licensed Product in the Territory, based on the rolling Forecasts submitted by Chiesi pursuant to Section 4.5, and (iii) [***] capable of fulfilling the [***] commercial needs for Licensed Product in the Territory, based on the rolling Forecasts submitted by Chiesi pursuant to Section 4.5 (collectively, the “Safety Stock Amount”). Thereafter, subject to Section 4.12(b), Protalix shall operate its Facility as necessary to maintain the Safety Stock Amount. The Safety Stock may be used to fulfill Protalix’s obligations to supply in the event there is a shortage as described in Section 4.11 or a Supply Failure (so long as such Safety Stock complies with the remaining shelf life required under Section 4.7(a), unless otherwise reasonably agreed by the Parties in a given circumstance); provided that [***] of such Safety Stock Amount shall be maintained for the exclusive use of Chiesi (i.e. [***]) in total, when taking into account the [***] provided for under Section 4.12(a) of the Ex-US Agreement).

(b) Sharing of Responsibility and Cost.

(i) For so long as subclause (x) of Section 4.6(h)(ii) applies in the Territory, (A) Chiesi shall bear the [***] responsibility for maintaining the Drug Product included in the Safety Stock Amount for the Territory through the inclusion of and payment for such Drug Product (as part of, and not in addition to) in applicable Purchase Orders placed in accordance with Section 4.5 and, for clarity, in the Yearly Reconciliation provided for under Section 4.6(h), and (B) Protalix shall bear the [***] responsibility for maintaining the Drug Substance included in the Safety Stock Amount in the Territory. On and from the date that such subclause (x) of Section 4.6(h)(ii) no longer applies in the Territory in accordance with such Section, the Parties shall share equally the responsibility [***] of building and maintaining the Safety Stock Amount for Drug Substance and Drug Product in the Territory, in a manner to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties in good faith at the same time the Maximum Order Quantity is agreed upon in accordance with Section 4.6(i) (and, for clarity, such Safety Stock Amount shall not be included in the Drug Product [***] ordered for the Territory for purposes of the Yearly Reconciliation). For clarity, following [***], Chiesi shall be solely responsible for the maintenance of any Safety Stock Amount of Drug Product [***]. Chiesi shall reimburse Protalix for its [***] share of the Safety Stock consisting of [***] within forty-five (45) days of Protalix providing Chiesi an invoice therefor.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(ii) The Forecasts and Purchase Orders submitted by Chiesi pursuant to Section 4.5 shall make a distinction between the amounts of Drug Product and Drug Substance required by Chiesi for commercial needs in the Territory and the amounts of Drug Product and Drug Substance needed for Safety Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, Protalix shall hold and keep the Safety Stock Amount of Drug Substance and, at Chiesi’s option, Chiesi or [***] shall hold and keep the Safety Stock Amount (or a portion thereof) of Drug Product. Protalix shall, upon reasonable request and during regular business hours with as minimal disruption to Protalix’s operations as reasonably practicable, allow Chiesi to audit the quantity of Safety Stock in Protalix’s possession.

4.13 [***]

4.14 Failure to Supply.

(a) “Failure to Supply” shall occur in the event that Protalix does not supply according to the terms of this Agreement (to the Person responsible for [***]) for reasons within Protalix’s reasonable control (and, for clarity, not for reasons outside Protalix’s reasonable control, i.e., a Force Majeure Event) at least [***] of the quantities of Drug Substance specified by Chiesi on Purchase Orders covering [***] (a “Supply Failure”), and such Supply Failure is not cured in the following [***] period (whether by using Safety Stock or otherwise). For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a failure to supply will not be treated as a Supply Failure under this Section 4.14(a) if such failure to supply was due to the failure to conduct [***] or Labeling and Packaging. For the sake of this Section 4.14(a), “cure” means supplying at least [***] of the quantities of Drug Substance specified by Chiesi on the applicable Purchase Orders that are the subject of the Supply Failure.

(b) Rights of Chiesi upon Failure to Supply. In the event of a Failure to Supply, at the option of Chiesi by giving written notice to Protalix, Chiesi shall have the right to, in compliance with applicable Laws and each Party’s agreements with Third Parties, [***].

(c) Allocation of Costs. Protalix shall be responsible for [***]. This Section 4.14(c) hereby amends, replaces and supersedes in its entirety Section 4.14(c) of the Ex-US Agreement, which shall be of no further force or effect.

(d) Right of Protalix to Resume Manufacturing. Should Protalix provide Chiesi with commercially reasonable evidence that it is ready, willing and able, directly or through subcontractors reasonably acceptable to Chiesi, to resume its supply obligations hereunder, Chiesi and Protalix will work together in good faith to [***]; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Ex-US Agreement, any exercise of this right or of the corollary right in Section 4.14(d) of the Ex-US Agreement, may only be exercised concurrently with such corollary right under the other agreement.

FINANCIAL PROVISIONS

5.1 Effective Date Payment. In consideration for and as reimbursement of the costs sustained by Protalix up to the Effective Date for the Development of the Compound, Drug Substance, Drug Product and Licensed Product (such costs hereby acknowledged and accepted by Chiesi, without any right of further review, challenge or audit with respect to such costs) and in a manner consistent with Section 5.3(b) and Section 5.3(i), Chiesi shall pay to Protalix within twenty (20) days after the Effective Date, the non-refundable, non-creditable amount of Twenty-Five Million Dollars (US $25,000,000). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the foregoing reference to Section 5.3(b), such amount shall not be included in or subject to the Development Costs Cap, Annual Cap, or any other cap on reimbursement provided for herein or in the Ex-US Agreement.

5.2 Event Milestone Payments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Chiesi shall pay to Protalix the amount set forth in the table below opposite the corresponding event milestone (each an “Event Milestone”) within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such Event Milestone:

Event Milestone	Event Milestone Payment
[***] (“Event Milestone 1”)	[***]
[***] (“Event Milestone 2”)	[***]
[***] (“Event Milestone 3”)	[***]
[***] (“Event Milestone 4”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 5”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 6”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 7”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 8”)	[***]

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

Event Milestone	Event Milestone Payment
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 9”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 10”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 11”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 12”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 13”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 14”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 15”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 16”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 17”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 18”)	[***]
Annual Net Sales of the Licensed Product in the Territory equal to or in excess of [***] (“Event Milestone 19”)	[***]

(b) [***]

(c) For the avoidance of doubt: (i) subject to Section 5.2(d) below, each Event Milestone Payment shall be payable only on the first occurrence of the corresponding Event Milestone; and (ii) none of the Event Milestone Payments shall be payable more than once.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(d) In respect of Event Milestones 5 through 19, should more than one Event Milestone occur in any Commercial Year, then only the highest of such Event Milestone Payments shall be due and payable in such Commercial Year (however, any Deferred Milestones may also be due and payable in such Commercial Year, subject to the below). For example, if Protalix achieves Event Milestone 5, Event Milestone 6, Event Milestone 7, and Event Milestone 8 in the first Commercial Year of this Agreement, only the Event Milestone Payment for Event Milestone 8 shall be due and the Event Milestone Payments for Event Milestone 5, Event Milestone 6 and Event Milestone 7 shall be deferred as set forth below and not paid in that Commercial Year (each, a “Deferred Milestone”). Such Deferred Milestones shall become due and payable in any subsequent Commercial Year in which the corresponding Event Milestone for each such Deferred Milestone is again achieved (irrespective of whether a higher Event Milestone is also achieved in such Commercial Year); provided, that the aggregate Net Sales for such subsequent Commercial Year have not decreased, as compared to the highest amount of Net Sales achieved in any previous Commercial Year. If the aggregate Net Sales for such subsequent Commercial Year has decreased, than only the highest Event Milestone achieved in such year will be payable (i.e., any unpaid Deferred Milestones again shall be deferred to the next Commercial Year). Following on from the above example, if in the subsequent Commercial Year Protalix achieves Event Milestone 5 and Event Milestone 6 only (meaning that there has been a decrease), then in such Commercial Year, the Deferred Milestone for Event Milestone 6 shall be due and payable (being the highest unpaid Event Milestone achieved in such Commercial Year), but the Deferred Milestone for Event Milestone 7 shall remain unpaid (as the corresponding Event Milestone was not achieved in that Commercial Year), and the Deferred Milestone for Event Milestone 5 shall also remain unpaid (as there was a decrease in Net Sales). If instead, the Net Sales increased (for example, Event Milestone 9 had been achieved), than each of the Deferred Milestones for Event Milestone 5, Event Milestone 6 and Event Milestone 7 will be due and payable in such Commercial Year (in addition to the Event Milestone Payment for Event Milestone 9). Following the above example, and assuming that in that second Commercial Year there had been a decrease in aggregate Net Sales, but that in the third Commercial Year, Protalix achieves each of Event Milestone 5, Event Milestone 6, Event Milestone 7, Event Milestone 8, and Event Milestone 9, then in such year, the Event Milestone Payment for Event Milestone 9 shall be due (as that is the highest of the Event Milestones achieved), as well as any unpaid Deferred Milestones (in the above example, the remaining Deferred Milestones would be Event Milestone 5 and Event Milestone 7).

(e) Protalix acknowledges and agrees that the right to receive Event Milestone Payments is not a security, shall not be represented by a certificate or other instrument and shall not represent a security or ownership interest in Chiesi, its Affiliates or any of their respective assets.

(f) NOTWITHSTANDING THIS SECTION 5.2, PROTALIX MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP AND CHIESI MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMERCIALIZE THE LICENSED PRODUCT.

5.3 Development Costs.

(a) Development Costs in the Territory. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 5.3 regarding Development Costs are separate from, and in addition to, the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Ex-US Agreement regarding Development Costs. For the avoidance of doubt, the sharing of the Development Costs in the Territory, and the Development Costs Cap and Annual Cap, described in this Section 5.3 are each in addition to (and are in no way intended to replace or subtract from) the provisions governing the sharing of Development Costs, and the Development Costs Cap and Annual Cap, as provided in the Ex-US Agreement.

(b) Share of Costs. Subject to the Development Costs Cap and Annual Cap, and subject to Section 5.3(e), Chiesi shall reimburse Protalix for [***] of all Development Costs incurred on and after the Effective Date (i.e. totaling [***]of the total Development Costs, when taking into account the provisions of the Ex-US Agreement), within [***] of a receipt of an invoice therefor; provided that, until Regulatory Approval is obtained in the Territory for the Licensed Product, Chiesi may deduct from such reimbursable amounts payable to Protalix pursuant to this Section 5.3(b), [***] of any such amounts that comprise reimbursement hereunder for Development Costs that are indirect, internal costs of Protalix (e.g., Protalix employee hours).

(c) Development Costs Cap. Notwithstanding Section 5.3(b), if Chiesi’s reimbursement obligation in respect of its share of the Development Costs under Section 5.3(b) at any point during the Term exceeds twenty million dollars (US$20,000,000) in the aggregate under this Agreement (i.e., totaling US$45,000,000 when taking into account the provisions of the Ex-US Agreement) during the Term (the “Development Costs Cap”), then Chiesi shall have the right but not the obligation to reimburse the amount exceeding the Development Costs Cap. If Chiesi decides to so reimburse, then Chiesi shall be entitled to credit any such amounts in excess of the Development Costs Cap that it pays to Protalix in accordance with Section 5.3(b) against the last invoice payment obligations of Chiesi to Protalix in respect of the Development Costs to be reimbursed by Chiesi as set forth under Sections 5.3(b) and 5.3(i). The reimbursement mechanism set forth under the previous sentence of this Section 5.3(c) hereby amends, replaces and supersedes the mechanism set forth in the last sentence of Section 5.3(b) of the Ex-US Agreement, which shall be of no further force or effect.

(d) Annual Cap. Notwithstanding Section 5.3(b), and subject to Section 5.3(c) above, Chiesi’s reimbursement obligation in respect of its share of the Development Costs under Section 5.3(b) shall not, in any single Calendar Year during the Term, exceed seven million and five hundred thousand dollars (US$7,500,000) (the “Annual Cap”) under this Agreement (i.e. totaling $17,500,000 when taking into account the provisions of the Ex-US Agreement); provided, however, that if in any Calendar Year during the Term Chiesi’s reimbursement obligation in respect of its share of the Development Costs is less than the Annual Cap, the difference between Chiesi’s actual reimbursement obligation for such Calendar Year and the Annual Cap for that Calendar Year shall carry forward to the next Calendar Year, such that the Annual Cap for that next Calendar Year shall increase by such amount (and in respect of such next Calendar Year, any references in this Agreement to Annual Cap shall be read as referring to such increased amount). If [***] of Development Costs for any Calendar Year exceeds the Annual Cap for that Calendar Year, then the difference between such actual Development Costs in that Calendar Year and the Annual Cap for such Calendar Year multiplied by 2.5 shall be deemed added to such Development Costs for the next Calendar Year (i.e., such amount will be subject to Chiesi’s reimbursement obligation of [***] per Section 5.3(b) of such amount during the next Calendar Year, subject to the Annual Cap for such Calendar Year and the Development Costs Cap).

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(e) [***]. In the event that either Party is obligated to undertake one or more [***] under the terms of this Agreement, subject to this Section 5.3(e), [***], in [***] of a receipt of an invoice therefor; [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, the [***] shall not in any event be included as a part of the Development Costs Cap or Annual Cap under Sections 5.3(c) and 5.3(d).

(f) Registry Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Ex-US Agreement, Chiesi shall be responsible for maintaining the Registry (including the conduct of any post-Regulatory Approval obligations and fulfilling the requirements of any Regulatory Authority related thereto). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree upon the desirability of maintaining one global Registry for both the Licensed Product in the Territory and outside the Territory. Chiesi shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of the costs of the Registry.

(g) Clinical Studies Following Regulatory Approval and Additional Studies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein but without prejudice to Sections 3.2(e) and 3.3(d)(iii): (i) Chiesi may only conduct Post-Approval Studies or Additional Studies (other than the Extension Studies) with the prior written consent of Protalix, such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned; and (ii) Chiesi shall be responsible for paying [***], and to the extent Protalix is required to (or is requested by Chiesi to) provide assistance in relation to the conduct of such Post-Approval Studies or Additional Studies, Chiesi shall [***] incurred in providing such assistance (and such reimbursement shall not be subject to the Development Costs Cap, Annual Cap, or any other cap on reimbursement provided for herein).

(h) Chiesi Step-in Rights. In the event that Chiesi exercises its step-in rights under Section 3.2(b) of this Agreement (or Section 3.2(b) of the Ex-US Agreement), and in the event that neither this Agreement nor the Ex-US Agreement have expired or been terminated, then each of Sections 5.3(a) through 5.3(d), as applicable, shall continue to apply with the obligation shifting to Protalix to reimburse Chiesi for [***] of all Development Costs for the Ongoing Clinical Studies incurred by Chiesi after the exercise of such step-in rights (i.e., replacing references to “Chiesi” with “Protalix” and vice-versa) in relation thereto, subject to the balances remaining under each of the Development Costs Cap and the Annual Cap, as applicable, as of the date on which Chiesi first exercises such step-in rights; provided that any such reimbursement obligation of Protalix shall not be required to be paid by Protalix, but rather shall only be applied by deducting such amounts from immediately applicable future payment obligations of Chiesi to Protalix under this Agreement or the Ex-US Agreement. For example, if one million dollars ($1,000,000) remains in the Development Costs Cap for the Ongoing Clinical Studies at the time Chiesi exercises its step-in rights, Protalix’s responsibility to reimburse [***] of Chiesi’s Development Costs in relation thereto shall be limited to a maximum of [***]. In the event that the remaining amount of the Development Costs Cap is exceeded during the course of Chiesi’s exercise of its step-in rights, Chiesi shall be responsible for [***] of the Development Costs incurred in excess of such cap. [***]. For so long as this Agreement remains in effect, this Section 5.3(h) hereby amends, replaces and supersedes in its entirety Section 5.3(g) of the Ex-US Agreement, which shall be of no further force or effect for so long as this Agreement remains in effect. In the event that the Ex-US Agreement expires or is terminated, then this Section 5.3(h) shall continue to apply, but Protalix’s obligation to reimburse Chiesi shall be for [***] of all Development Costs for the Ongoing Clinical Studies incurred by Chiesi after the exercise by Chiesi of such step-in rights (solely for the period after such expiration or termination of the Ex-US Agreement), and the examples set out herein shall be modified accordingly.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(i) Reimbursement Payments. Where either Party is required to reimburse the other Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if Protalix has incurred certain Development Costs but Chiesi is responsible for paying such Development Costs pursuant to this Section 5.3), then the Party to whom such reimbursement is owed (the “Reimbursed Party”) may, on a monthly basis, send an invoice to such other Party (the “Reimbursing Party”) with respect to such reimbursable amounts, along with reasonable evidence thereof (such evidence to consist of a report in substantially the form set out in Schedule 5.3(i), unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties), and such Reimbursing Party shall issue payment against such invoices within forty five (45) days of the invoice date (other than as set forth in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, including Section 5.1). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that a Governmental Authority responsible for the determination and collection of taxes conducts an audit of Chiesi and, in the course of such audit, requests certain back-up invoices, Protalix shall provide Chiesi with copies of such requested back-up invoices in Protalix’s possession within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of such Governmental Authority’s request.

(j) CRO Agreements. Upon Chiesi’s request, Protalix shall reasonably facilitate Chiesi being added as a party to Protalix’s agreements with Third Parties that are contract research organizations performing Development services in respect of the Licensed Product in the Field (on terms agreeable to such Third Parties), for the primary purpose of enabling Chiesi to make direct payments of the costs of those Development services to such Third Parties (as opposed to Protalix making such payments and Chiesi reimbursing Protalix for Chiesi’s share of such costs pursuant to Section 5.3); provided, however, that any such direct payments by Chiesi to such Third Parties shall be subject to (and shall count towards) (i) Chiesi’s obligation to reimburse Protalix for Development Costs under Section 5.3(b) of this Agreement and Section 5.3(a) of the Ex-US Agreement, and (ii) the Development Costs Cap and Annual Cap as set forth in Sections 5.3(c) and 5.3(d) of this Agreement and Sections 5.3(b) and 5.3(c) of the Ex-US Agreement, in each case, in a manner that does not disadvantage either Party (i.e., with the intent of the Parties being that Chiesi’s and Protalix’s respective share of the Development Costs be economically the same whether Chiesi is paying such Third Parties directly or Protalix is paying such amounts to such Third Parties and being reimbursed by Chiesi in respect thereof pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.3 of this Agreement and Section 5.3 of the Ex-US Agreement).

Section 6.

ACCOUNTING AND PROCEDURES FOR PAYMENT

6.1 Periodic Reporting and Reconciliation Payments.

(a) Reports; Payments. Within [***], Chiesi shall provide Protalix with a report stating the Net Sales and computation thereof (including sales in units and in value of the Licensed Product made by or on behalf of Chiesi and its Affiliates in the Territory), and any permitted deductions from Net Sales, during such preceding Commercial Quarter, together with the calculation of the Price reconciliations as set out in Section 4.6(g) and, if applicable, Section 4.6(h) (together with any other supporting documentation reasonably requested by Protalix).

(b) Disputes. In the event of a dispute regarding any amount reported by a Party pursuant to Section 6.1(a), the disputing Party shall provide a notice of the dispute to the other Party, and the Parties will promptly meet and negotiate in good faith a resolution to such dispute. In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after notice by the disputing Party, the Parties will (i) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reach agreement on the appointment of one internationally-recognized independent accounting firm to determine the matter, or (ii) if the Parties cannot reach agreement on such accounting firm within sixty (60) days after notice by the disputing Party, then each Party will appoint one internationally-recognized accounting firm and such firms will choose a third internationally-recognized independent accounting firm to make the final determination, which shall be binding on the Parties.

6.2 Currency. All payments to be made hereunder by one Party to the other Party shall be computed and paid in United States dollars.

6.3 Method of Payments. Each payment to be made hereunder by either Party to the other Party shall be made by electronic transfer in immediately available funds via either a bank wire transfer, an ACH (automated clearing house) mechanism, or any other means of electronic funds transfer, at the other Party’s election, to the account designated (in writing) by the other Party on or before the Effective Date. With respect to any payment invoiced by either Party to the other Party, the other Party may designate a different bank account on such invoice. With respect to any other payment, either Party may designate a different bank account at least thirty (30) days before such payment is due.

6.4 No Set-Off. Except as otherwise expressly provided hereunder, all payments which either Party is required to make under this Agreement shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or condition.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

6.5 Interest for Late Payments. If either Party fails to make any payment due under this Agreement within [***] of the date upon which such payment is due, then interest shall accrue on such payment on a daily basis from the date such payment was originally due at a rate equal to weekly LIBOR (as published in The Wall Street Journal, New York edition and as officially confirmed by an officer of the respective Party) plus [***], or at the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law, whichever is the lower, and such interest shall be paid when such payment is made.

6.6 Inspection of Records. Chiesi shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep accurate books and records with respect to the Commercialization of Licensed Product hereunder, setting forth gross sales of the Licensed Product and Net Sales sufficient to enable the calculation of amounts payable hereunder to be verified. Protalix shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees to, keep accurate books and records setting forth the Price for the Licensed Products purchased by Chiesi from Protalix hereunder, sufficient to enable the calculation of the Price to be verified (the foregoing books and records of Chiesi and Protalix and their respective Affiliates and sublicensees, the “Financial Records”). Additionally, each Party shall keep sufficiently detailed books and records to enable the other Party to monitor such Party’s compliance with the provisions of Sections 9.1(i) and 9.1(j) below (such additional books and records, “Compliance Records”). Each Party will retain such Financial Records and Compliance Records for [***] after the end of the Calendar Year, in which they are generated in order to enable audit of such records as set forth below. Each Party will have the right to request that an independent certified public accountant selected by it examine the other Party’s Financial Records, or that such Party’s nominated representative examine the other Party’s Compliance Records, in each case, at any reasonable time, upon reasonable notice and at the facility(ies) where the other Party’s Financial Records or Compliance Records are normally kept (an “Audit”). The foregoing rights of examination may be exercised only [***] during each twelve (12)-month period of the Term and only [***] during each twelve (12)-month period in the three (3) years after final payment has been made. The audited Party may require such accountants (or nominated representative) to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement. In respect of an Audit of a Party’s Financial Records, the opinion of said independent accountants regarding such payments shall be binding on the Parties, other than in the case of manifest error. Except as set forth below, [***] shall bear the cost of any such examination and review. In respect of a Party’s Financial Records, if such Audit by either Party of the other Party’s books and records reveals that such other Party has made an underpayment (or received an overpayment) under this Agreement, then the Party in receipt of any such overpayment, or the Party responsible for any such underpayment, shall promptly reimburse the other Party in the amount of such overpayment or underpayment (as applicable) as was revealed by such Audit. If the discrepancy revealed by the Audit is greater than [***] of the amount due, then the Party responsible for the inaccurate reporting resulting in such overpayment or underpayment shall also promptly reimburse the other Party for any and all costs incurred in connection with such Audit.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

6.7 Tax Matters.

(a) Taxes. Subject to Section 6.7(c) below, Chiesi shall assume and pay any and all taxes, customs, duties, assessments, excises and other charges levied upon the importation of or assessed against the Drug Product [***] supplied or rights licensed by Protalix hereunder, or for or on account of the Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Territory. Prior to [***], Protalix shall assume and pay any and all taxes, customs, duties, assessments, excises and other charges levied upon the importation of or assessed against the Drug Substance in the EU with respect to the shipment of Drug Substance from Protalix to [***].

(b) VAT. It is understood and agreed between the Parties that any payments made by Chiesi under this Agreement are exclusive of any value added or similar tax imposed upon such payments.

(c) Withholding Tax. Payments made by Chiesi to Protalix pursuant to this Agreement shall be made free and clear of any withholding in respect of taxes. [***]. Section 6.7(c) of the Ex-US Agreement is hereby amended to add the words “or Section 5.3” following the words “Section 5.1” in the first sentence of such Section 6.7(c) of the Ex-US Agreement.

(d) Cooperation. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable a reduction in, elimination of, or the recovery, as permitted by applicable Law, 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. Chiesi shall provide reasonable notice to Protalix of its intent to withhold any amount in respect of taxes, and Protalix shall provide to Chiesi any tax forms that may be reasonably requested by and necessary for Chiesi not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under applicable Law (including an applicable income tax treaty). Each Party further agrees to provide reasonable cooperation to the other Party, at the other Party’s expense, in connection with any official or unofficial tax audit or contest relating to payments made by Chiesi to Protalix under this Agreement. Chiesi assumes the sole responsibility of procuring any required permits, authorizations, licenses or consents of Governmental Authorities for the export of funds as may be required in the Territory; provided, however, that to the extent that it is impossible to make such payments due to the “blocking” of funds by applicable Law, such “blocked” funds shall be deposited to the credit of Protalix in such depository as Protalix designates subject to such applicable Law or Chiesi or its Affiliates shall otherwise pay Protalix an amount equal to such “blocked” funds.

Section 7.

PATENTS AND INFRINGEMENT

7.1 Filing and Prosecution.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 7.1(b), Protalix shall have the exclusive right, subject to Sections 7.2 through 7.5, to:

(i) file Patent Applications on any Invention included in the Protalix Patent Rights or otherwise arising from the collection, generation or use of Clinical Data or its performance of Development activities under this Agreement;

(ii) take all reasonable steps to prosecute all pending and new Patent Applications included within the Protalix Patent Rights;

(iii) maintain in force any patents in the Territory included within the Protalix Patent Rights by duly filing all necessary papers and paying any fees required by the relevant patent Laws of the United States.

[***].

(b) With respect to the Patent Applications set forth on Schedule 7.1(b) and any future Patent Applications covering the Compound or Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory claiming priority to, or common priority with, the Patent Applications set forth on Schedule 7.1(b) (in each case, solely to the extent not related to the System), Chiesi shall have the option, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Protalix, to take over the prosecution and maintenance of any or all of such Patent Applications (which shall remain in Protalix’s name), including the sole right to file new Patent Applications in Protalix’s name covering the Compound or Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory. [***]. Chiesi will notify Protalix of any decision to cease prosecution and/or maintenance of any of such Patent Applications (or resulting Patents) for which it opts to take over the prosecution and maintenance pursuant to this Section 7.1(b), or not to pursue, or to cease to [***], any such Patent Applications or resulting Patents. In such event, Protalix shall have the right to make the filing, or to continue and take back control over the prosecution and maintenance of such Patent Rights.

7.2 Correspondence.

(a) Protalix will keep Chiesi informed of the status of the Protalix Patent Rights to the extent the Protalix Patent Rights [***].

(b) Protalix will, upon Chiesi’s request, provide Chiesi with copies of all substantive documentation submitted to, or received from, the United States Patent and Trademark Office in connection therewith. With respect to any Protalix Patent Rights that are not Protalix System Patent Rights, Protalix shall consider in good faith all comments provided by Chiesi with respect to a Protalix Patent Right in the Territory to the extent relating to the Compound or Licensed Product and/or other recombinant form of alpha Galactosidase in the Field in the Territory or the Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory. Protalix shall have final-decision making authority with respect to filings and prosecution of Protalix Patent Rights.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Chiesi shall have the sole right in electing which Patent shall receive any patent term extension under 35 U.S.C. § 156 related to the Licensed Product in the Territory. Protalix and Chiesi shall cooperate in timely filing and obtaining the patent term extension for such Patent elected by Chiesi.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

7.3 Maintenance. Protalix will use [***] to maintain for the full life thereof all Patent Rights under the Protalix Patent Rights where the abandonment for non-payment [***]. Protalix will notify Chiesi of any decision (a) not to file a Patent Application for, or (b) not to enter the national phase for a PCT Patent Application for, or (c) to cease prosecution and/or maintenance (including the occurrences as set out in Section 7.2) of, or (d) not to pursue, or (e) to cease to pay the expenses of prosecution or maintenance of, any Protalix Patent Rights in the Field in the Territory. In such event, Chiesi shall have the right to make the filing, or to continue the prosecution and maintenance of such Patent Rights (other than Protalix System Patent Rights) in Protalix’s name [***]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Protalix shall have no obligation to provide such notice where the subject Protalix Patent Rights are directed [***].

7.4 Notices. Protalix agrees that it will, and will cause its Affiliates to execute and file those notices and other filings as Chiesi shall reasonably request be made, from time to time with the United States Patent and Trademark Office with respect to the rights granted under this Agreement, at Chiesi’s sole cost and expense.

7.5 Interpretation of Patent Judgments. If any claim relating to a Patent under the Protalix Patent Rights becomes the subject of a judgment, decree or decision of a court, tribunal, or other authority of competent jurisdiction in the Territory, which judgment, decree, or decision is or becomes final (there being no further right of review) and adjudicates the validity, enforceability, scope, or infringement of the same, the construction of such claim in such judgment, decree or decision shall be followed thereafter in the Territory not only as to such claim but also as to all other claims in the Territory to which such construction reasonably applies, in determining whether there are any Valid Claims in the Territory. If at any time there are two or more conflicting final judgments, decrees, or decisions with respect to the same claim, the decision of the higher tribunal shall thereafter control, but if the tribunal be of equal rank, then the final judgment, decree, or decision more favorable to such claim shall control unless and until the majority of such tribunals of equal rank adopt or follow a less favorable final judgment, decree, or decision, in which event the latter shall control.

7.6 Third Party Royalty Obligations.

(a) If either Party reasonably determines in good faith that in order to avoid infringement of any Patent Right not licensed hereunder, it is reasonably necessary to obtain a license or acquire the relevant Patent Right or Technology from a Third Party in order to make, use, sell, offer for sale, supply, cause to be supplied, or import the Licensed Product in the Territory and to pay a royalty or other consideration under such license or acquisition (including in connection with the settlement of a patent infringement claim), then the Steering Committee shall discuss the pertinent Third Party Patent Right and/or Technology and such Party’s determination. If the Steering Committee decides (by mutual agreement of the Steering Committee members) that Chiesi should enter into such license or acquisition, whether as part of a settlement of an allegation or claim of infringement of a Third Party Patent or otherwise, Chiesi shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to negotiate and enter into a license or acquisition for such Third Party Patent Right and/or Technology and the Steering Committee (by mutual agreement of the Steering Committee members) shall determine each Party’s respective share of any payments to the relevant Third Party, other than as provided in Section 13.2. If the Steering Committee is unable to decide (by mutual agreement of the Steering Committee members) whether Chiesi should enter into such a license or acquisition, whether as part of a settlement of an allegation or claim of infringement of a Third Party Patent or otherwise, and Chiesi enters into a license or acquisition for such Third Party Patent Right and/or Technology in good faith on arms-length terms, Protalix’s share of any payments to the relevant Third Party, other than as provided in Section 13.2, shall be equal to [***] of the Applicable Rate in effect at the time Chiesi enters into such agreement; provided, that if (i) Chiesi enters into any such agreement with respect to an infringement (or possible infringement) occurring within eighteen (18) months of the receipt of Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Territory; (ii) the Third Party Patent Right being licensed or acquired is a Competing Product Patent; and (iii) the Event Milestone 2 has been paid, or is payable, to Protalix, then Protalix shall be responsible for [***] of any such payments due to any such Third Parties in respect of any such licenses or acquisitions, up until Protalix’s responsibility reaches [***] in the aggregate, with any remaining payments due to any such Third Parties in respect of any such licenses or acquisitions being shared by the Parties, with Protalix’s share of any such remaining payments being equal to the Applicable Rate in effect at the time Chiesi enters into such agreement. To the extent this Section 7.6(a) provides for any costs or expenses to be shared between the Parties, Protalix’s share of such costs and expenses are only to be deducted from future payment obligations of Chiesi to Protalix under this Agreement (and, for clarity, shall not otherwise be separately payable by Protalix).

(b) Other than as provided in Section 13.2, if Chiesi is subject to a final court or other binding order or ruling requiring any payments, including the payment of a royalty to a Third Party Patent holder in respect of Commercialization of the Licensed Product in the Territory, then the amount of such payments made by Chiesi to the Third Party shall be in addition to, and separate from, any payments due to Protalix under this Agreement; provided that the Steering Committee (by mutual agreement of the Steering Committee members) shall determine each Party’s respective share of any such payments to the relevant Third Party; provided further that if (i) such final court or other binding order or ruling is made with respect to an infringement occurring within eighteen (18) months of the receipt of Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Territory; (ii) the required payments are with respect to a Competing Product Patent; and (iii) the Event Milestone 2 has been paid, or is payable, to Protalix, then Protalix shall be responsible for [***] of any such payments to any such Third Parties, up until Protalix’s responsibility reaches [***] in the aggregate, with any remaining required payments due any such Third Parties being shared by the Parties, with Protalix’s share of any such remaining payments being equal to the Applicable Rate in effect at the time of the final court or other binding order or ruling. To the extent this Section 7.6(b) provides for any costs or expenses to be shared between the Parties, Protalix’s share of such costs and expenses are only to be deducted from future payment obligations of Chiesi to Protalix under this Agreement (and, for clarity, shall not otherwise be separately payable by Protalix). For clarity, the reference to the [***] under the foregoing proviso and under the proviso in the last sentence of Section 7.6(a) shall be an aggregated amount, such that if Protalix’s responsibility reaches ) under either proviso, it should not have an obligation to share [***] under the other proviso (e.g., if Protalix’s responsibility has already reached [***] under the proviso in the last sentence of Section 7.6(a), then the [***] threshold will have been deemed to already be reached and Protalix’s share of the responsibility under the proviso in this Section 7.6(b) would thus be equal to the Applicable Rate then in effect).

7.7 Third-Party Infringement. Each Party will promptly notify the other in the event of any actual, potential or suspected infringement of a Patent under the Protalix Patent Rights by any Third Party.

(a) Infringement of Protalix Patent Rights in the Field.

(i) Chiesi shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to institute litigation or take other remedial measures in connection with Third Party infringement of the Protalix Patent Rights occurring in the Field within or for the Territory, including, without limitation, any [***] in or for the Territory (other than Protalix Patent Rights directed solely to an Outside of the Scope Product). Protalix, upon request of Chiesi, agrees to timely commence or to join in any such litigation [***], and in any event to reasonably cooperate with Chiesi [***]. Any costs and expenses incurred by Chiesi with respect to any such litigation or remedial measures shall be borne by Chiesi, and any recoveries resulting from such litigation or measures relating to a claim of a Third Party infringement in pursuing such claim, will be deemed Net Sales after having deducted any amount necessary to cover all costs and expenses incurred by Chiesi pursuant to the preceding sentence. With respect to any [***] in or for the Territory, Chiesi shall have sole control of, and decision making authority with respect to, the communications, exchange of information, procedures and actions set forth or described in [***]; provided, however, that, prior to engaging in any of the foregoing acts or exercising such decision-making authority, Chiesi shall provide written notice to Protalix thereof and consult and cooperate in good faith with Protalix with respect thereto (including considering any suggestions made by Protalix in respect thereof in good faith).

(ii) Chiesi shall have sole authority to settle any litigation, action or proceeding brought by Chiesi pursuant to Section 7.7(a)(i), provided that Chiesi shall not effect any settlement of any litigation, action or proceeding in which Protalix has any potential liability, unless such settlement involves solely monetary damages for which Protalix is not responsible and includes an unconditional release of Protalix for all liability on Claims that are the subject matter of such litigation, action or proceeding.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(iii) Protalix shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to institute litigation or take other remedial measures in connection with Third Party infringement of any Protalix Patent Rights directed solely to any Outside of the Scope Product or occurring outside the Field (within or outside of the Territory) [***].

7.8 Other Actions by a Third Party.

(a) Each Party shall promptly notify the other in the event of any (i) claims by a Third Party of alleged patent infringement by Chiesi or Protalix or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the research, Development, Manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of a Compound (other than as used in New Use) or the Licensed Product, in each case, in the Field in the Territory or (ii) legal or administrative action by any Third Party involving a Protalix Patent Right in the Field in the Territory [***] of which it becomes aware, including any petition for ex parte reexamination, Inter Partes Review (IPR), or Post Grant Review (PGR), nullity, revocation, reexamination or compulsory license proceeding. Unless subject to the indemnity provided by Protalix under Section 13.2 (in which case Protalix shall have sole control of such action and the defense thereof as provided under Section 13.2) or for a Third Party Claim for which Chiesi irrevocably waives Protalix’s obligation to indemnify Chiesi under Section 13.2, Chiesi shall have the first right, but no obligation, to defend against any such action involving such alleged infringement or such Protalix Patent Right, in each case, in the Field in the Territory [***]; provided, that if the action involves an assertion that a Competing Product Patent is, or would be, infringed by the Compound (other than as used in a New Use) or the Licensed Product, in each case, in the Field in the Territory, Protalix shall be [***]. Without prejudice to the foregoing proviso, Protalix, upon request of Chiesi, agrees to join in any such action [***] and in any event to reasonably cooperate with Chiesi [***]. If Chiesi declines to defend against any such action involving the Compound (other than as used in New Use) or the Licensed Product or a Protalix Patent Right, then Protalix shall have the right to defend such action [***]. Chiesi, upon request of Protalix, shall reasonably cooperate with Protalix in any such action [***]. The Party defending against such action in accordance with this Section 7.8 shall assume direction and control of the defense, litigation, settlement, appeal or other disposition of such Claim (including the right to settle the Claim solely for monetary consideration for which such Party will be responsible) with counsel selected by such Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party. The other Party shall have the right to reasonably participate in (including the right to participate in all settlement conferences and provide suggestions, which the controlling Party shall consider in good faith), but not control, at its own expense, the defense of any Claim that such Party is defending as provided in this Section 7.8.

(b) In the event an injunction is entered against Chiesi or Chiesi is otherwise enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction from Commercializing the Licensed Product in the Territory based on a claim that the Compound or Licensed Product infringes, or would infringe, a Third Party’s Patent, until such injunction is lifted or such binding order or ruling is overturned, (i) Chiesi may cancel or suspend any outstanding Purchase Orders for the Territory and its ordering and forecasting obligations under this Agreement (provided that Chiesi ceases any ordering hereunder), and shall not be obligated to make the Minimum Payment hereunder, (ii) Protalix’s obligations under Sections 4.11 and 4.12 shall cease (in each case, solely in respect of the Territory), and (iii) Chiesi shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek to promptly have such injunction lifted or such binding order or ruling overturned.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(c) With respect to any action brought pursuant to Section 7.8, neither Party will enter into any settlement of any suit involving Licensed Products that materially affects the other Party’s rights or obligations with respect to the Licensed Product without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Without limiting the foregoing, neither Party shall, without the written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened litigation in which the other Party has any potential liability, unless such settlement involves solely monetary damages and includes an unconditional release of such other Party from all liability on Claims that are the subject matter of such litigation.

7.9 Patent Marking. Each Party shall comply with the patent marking statutes in the Territory in which a Licensed Product in the Field is made, offered for sale, sold or imported by such Party and its Affiliates and sublicensees.

Section 8.

CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICATION

8.1 Confidentiality. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the Parties agree that for the Term and for [***] years thereafter, each Party shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose any Confidential Information furnished to it by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement, in a manner no less protective than the actions it would customarily take to preserve the confidentiality of its own similar types of confidential information.

8.2 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information (a) to such Party’s employees, consultants (including, for greater certainty, financial advisors), Affiliates, agents, contractors, or permitted sublicensees who are bound by obligations relating to confidentiality at least as restrictive of those contained herein and who have a need to know such information in connection with such Party’s performance of its obligations or practice or enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, (b) to Regulatory Authorities in connection with any Regulatory Approvals required for Development of Licensed Product pursuant to the Development Plan or in compliance with applicable Law, including any requirements under or pursuant to the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, or (c) pursuant to Sections 8.3 and 8.4.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

8.3 Terms of Agreement. The Parties agree that the material terms of this Agreement will be considered Confidential Information of both Parties. Subject to Section 8.4 below, no Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party, disclose in any manner to any Third Party the material terms and conditions of this Agreement, except for terms or subject matter which has been the subject of prior public disclosure or has been mutually approved for such disclosure and except as set forth below. Chiesi acknowledges that Protalix or its Affiliates may be legally required to file this Agreement as an exhibit to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition: (a) either Party may disclose such terms as are required to be disclosed in its publicly-filed financial statements or other public statements, pursuant to applicable Laws, regulations and stock exchange rules (e.g., the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the NYSE American, the NYSE, NASDAQ, or any other stock exchange on which securities issued by either Party may be listed); provided that such Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of the proposed text of such statements or disclosure (including any exhibits containing this Agreement) sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release or publication thereof to afford such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text (including redacted versions of this Agreement), (b) either Party shall have the further right to disclose the terms of this Agreement under a confidentiality obligation no less protective than those set forth in this Agreement, to any potential sublicensee, acquirer, merger partner, investor, business partner or potential providers of financing and their advisors or, in the case of Protalix, to the owner of any Protalix Patent Rights or Protalix Technology Controlled by Protalix, and (c) Protalix and Chiesi shall have the right to disclose information regarding the development or commercialization status of the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory to the extent such disclosure by Protalix or Chiesi, as applicable, is required by applicable Laws or stock exchange rules.

8.4 Mandatory Disclosure.

(a) Notification and Consultation. In the event that a Party is required by applicable Law (including rules of an applicable stock exchange), or pursuant to legal, governmental or self-regulatory organization proceedings (including by court order or judicial or administrative process) to disclose any part of the other Party’s Confidential Information (including material terms or conditions of this Agreement), such Party shall (i) promptly notify the other Party of each such requirement and identify the documents so required thereby, so that the other Party may seek an appropriate protective order, confidential treatment or other remedy concerning any such disclosure and/or waive compliance by such Party with the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) consult with the other Party with respect to taking legally available steps to resist or narrow the scope of such requirement.

(b) Limited Disclosure. If, in the absence of such a protective order, confidential treatment request, other remedy or waiver by the other Party, such Party is nonetheless required to disclose any part of the other Party’s Confidential Information or any material terms or conditions of this Agreement, such Party may disclose such Confidential Information or material terms or conditions without liability under this Agreement, except that such Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information or material terms or conditions that in its good faith judgment, after consultation with legal counsel, it is legally required to provide.

8.5 Publication. Subject to the restrictions set out below, nothing herein shall prevent Protalix and its Affiliates (and their respective employees, consultants, contractors, licensees and agents) from publishing or presenting information relating to the development or use of the System, Compound or Licensed Product or otherwise (a) limit the rights of Protalix’s Third Party clinical investigators to publish the results of their studies or (b) prevent Protalix or its Affiliates from complying with applicable Law with respect to the disclosure of clinical study data and results or of any other material matter or information. Each Party recognizes that the publications regarding results of and other information regarding Development of Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory, including oral presentations and abstracts, may be beneficial to both Parties, provided that publications are subject to reasonable controls to protect Confidential Information and the Parties’ mutual interest in obtaining rights in patent and protecting trade secret information. The Steering Committee shall appoint one referent person for each Party for reviewing and approving such publications (“Referent Person”). Accordingly, the Party proposing to submit any such publication or presentation shall first deliver to the Referent Person for review a copy of such Party’s proposed publication or presentation that pertains to the Compound, Drug Substance, Drug Product or Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory prior to submitting the material to a publisher or initiating any such publication thereof. The Referent Person of the non-proposing Party must make a reasonable, good faith determination as to (solely in respect of publications to scientific journals or similar mediums and submission of abstracts to medical congresses) whether the proposing Party may submit such publication, and may (x) require modifications of such publication prior to it being submitted (i) to protect each Party’s respective Confidential Information, or (ii) for trade secret reasons or other material commercial reasons; (y) request that the proposing Party delay such submission for an additional period as may be reasonably necessary to seek patent protection for the information disclosed in such proposed written submission; and (z) withhold its approval for such publication if it makes a reasonable, good faith determination that such publication will have an adverse effect on the non-publishing Party’s ability to procure a patent or Develop or Commercialize any Licensed Product. The Referent Person of the non-publishing Party shall conduct its review and provide its approval as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event within [***] days in case of publications to scientific journals or similar medium and any abstracts to medical congresses (and the failure to provide any such response with such [***] day period shall be deemed approval hereunder). If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on whether the proposing Party may submit such publication, or on the scope of any reasonably necessary modifications or delay in respect of such publication, the issue shall be escalated to the Parties’ respective Chief Executive Officers, who shall attempt to resolve the issue within [***] days. In respect of any oral or in-person presentations at medical conferences or medical congresses, posters, trade shows, or similar activities (but, for clarity, excluding business forums), the Referent Person of the non-publishing Party shall be afforded at least [***] Business Days to review and provide comment on any initial working draft thereto and [***] Business Days to review and provide comment on any revised draft (unless a working draft or revised draft is not available or, acting in good faith, the publishing Party considers such review period would risk delaying submission or missing a relevant deadline), and the publishing Party shall consider any such comments received during such [***] Business Day period in good faith; provided, however, that in respect of such oral or in-person presentations, the publishing Party shall not require the approval of the Referent Person of the non-publishing Party to proceed with such presentation.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

8.6 Publicity. A draft public announcement of the execution of this Agreement is set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto and, subject to Protalix’s further review and comment, shall be promptly disseminated as a press release following the execution of this Agreement by both Parties and the approval by Protalix of the final form thereof. Other than with respect to the matters addressed in Section 8.5 and disclosures required by applicable Law or stock exchange rules, each Party shall only issue press releases that contain material new information (i.e., material information that has not been previously disclosed) concerning the terms of, or events related to, this Agreement or concerning the Compound, Drug Substance, Drug Product or Licensed Product after having provided the other Party with an opportunity to review and approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) such statement; provided that failure to disapprove of such press release in writing within two (2) Business Days shall be deemed approval hereunder. Such Party shall give due consideration to any specific reasonable comments of the other Party on such text timely received from the other Party, subject to such Party’s compliance with applicable Laws and stock exchange rules with respect to disclosure.

8.7 Filing, Registration or Notification of the Agreement. Protalix shall provide Chiesi with a proposed form of redacted copy of this Agreement (the “Redacted Agreement”) for Chiesi’s review and comment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, and Protalix shall consider any comments from Chiesi in good faith; provided, however, that the final form of such Redacted Agreement shall be determined by Protalix. If a Party determines that it is required by Law to publicly file, register or notify this Agreement with a Governmental Authority, such Party shall (a) initially file the Redacted Agreement, (b) request, and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain, confidential treatment of all terms redacted from this Agreement, as reflected in the Redacted Agreement, for a period of at least [***] years, (c) permit the other Party to review and approve such request for confidential treatment and any subsequent correspondence with respect thereto at least [***] Business Days prior to its submission to such Governmental Authority, (d) promptly deliver to the other Party any written correspondence received by it or its representatives from such Governmental Authority with respect to such confidential treatment request and promptly advise the other Party of any other communications between it or its representatives with such Governmental Authority with respect to such confidential treatment request, (e) upon the written request of the other Party, request an appropriate extension of the term of the confidential treatment period, and (f) if such Governmental Authority requests any changes to the redactions set forth in the Redacted Agreement, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to support the redactions in the Redacted Agreement as originally filed and shall not agree to any changes to the Redacted Agreement without first discussing such changes with the other Party and taking the other Party’s comments into consideration when deciding whether to agree to such changes. Each Party shall be responsible for its own legal and other external costs in connection with any such filing, registration or notification.

(h) Subject to Section 8, Protalix shall promptly notify Chiesi (other than to the extent Protalix, acting reasonably, determines that such notice could waive attorney-client privilege or any other legal privilege held by Protalix, or would otherwise breach a confidentiality provision or obligation) in writing of (i) any actual or threatened in writing default (including failure to pay royalties when due, if applicable), breach, suspension of compliance or performance, or termination (in whole or in part) under any Third Party License that relates to the Protalix Patent Rights or Protalix Technology, in each case, as relates to the Compound and/or the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, and which would materially adversely affect Chiesi’s rights under this Agreement; and (ii) the actual or threatened in writing commencement of any dispute, claim, suit, litigation or arbitration proceeding related to the any Third Party License that relates to the Protalix Patent Rights or Protalix Technology, in each case, as relates to the Compound and/or the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, and which would materially adversely affect Chiesi’s rights under this Agreement. Each such notification shall contain a summary of the event described therein. At the request of Chiesi, and subject to Section 8, Protalix shall (other than to the extent Protalix, acting reasonably, determines that to do so could waive attorney-client privilege or any other legal privilege held by Protalix, or would otherwise breach a confidentiality provision or obligation) (x) promptly provide to Chiesi full particulars, of which it is aware, in writing of the applicable matter; and (y) keep Chiesi reasonably informed as to the status and proposed resolution of each such matter.

(i) In the event that Protalix receives notice of any default (including failure to pay royalties or other amounts when due) or breach under any Third Party License that relates to the Protalix Patent Rights or Protalix Technology, in each case, as relates to the Compound and/or the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory and which would materially adversely affect Chiesi’s rights under this Agreement, and (i) has not cured such breach or default within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such notice, (ii) has not procured the entry by Chiesi into a Standby License as described in Section 2.2(d), and (iii) the amount of, and liability for, such breach or default is not disputed by Protalix (acting in good faith) or has been resolved in Chiesi’s favor under Section 14.3, then Chiesi shall be entitled, but not obligated, to undertake payment or performance of the applicable underlying obligation on behalf of Protalix as necessary to cure such default or breach and to offset, against amounts payable to Protalix under this Agreement, any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Chiesi in the course thereof. In the event and to the extent that Protalix disputes the existence of such breach or default (acting in good faith), either Party may by written notice escalate the matter for discussions between the Chief Executive Officers of each Party to negotiate an agreed approach to the alleged breach or default and, to the extent the Parties cannot reach such agreement within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice, the Parties shall refer the matter for expert determination in accordance with Section 14.3.

(j) There is no material active, pending or, to Protalix’s knowledge, threatened litigation or re-examination, pre- or post-grant or inter partes review, interference, derivation, opposition, claim of invalidity or other claim or proceeding (including in the form of any offer to obtain a license) alleging the invalidity, misuse, unregisterability, unenforceability or non-infringement of any Protalix Patent Rights, or challenging Protalix’s ownership of, or Protalix’s right to practice or license, any Protalix Patent Rights, or alleging any adverse right, title or interest with respect thereto (in each case, solely as relates to the Compound and/or the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory).

(k) To the knowledge of Protalix after a reasonable internal inquiry of its executive officers and legal personnel, the practice of the Protalix Patent Rights and Protalix Technology in relation to the Compound and/or the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, and the Manufacture, use of the Compound, Drug Substance and/or Drug Product or Commercialization of Licensed Product (as now formulated) as contemplated under this Agreement, does not and will not infringe any issued Patent of any Third Party that exists on the Effective Date or, if and when issued, any Valid Claim within any Third Party Patent Application published before the Effective Date.

(l) Protalix and its Affiliates have complied in all material respects with all applicable Laws, with respect to the Development, Manufacture, use and handling of Compound, Drug Substance, Drug Product and Licensed Product.

(m) Protalix has not received any Form 483 observations, warning letters or other communications from a Regulatory Authority which would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the Development, Manufacture, use, handling of Compound, Drug Substance and/or Drug Product or the Commercialization of Licensed Product in any material respect.

(n) Drug Product (and Compound and Drug Substance) supplied by Protalix to Chiesi hereunder, prior to delivery by Protalix under Section 4.7: (i) will be Manufactured and stored in material compliance with the Product Specifications, GMP and all other provisions of this Agreement, the Quality Agreement and applicable Laws, including applicable environmental Laws, in force at the time of Manufacture, (ii) will not contain any material that would cause the Compound, Drug Substance and/or Drug Product to be adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of any applicable Laws and (iii) shall be free from defects in material and workmanship in all material respects.

(o) To Protalix’s knowledge, there are no material investigations, inquiries, actions or other proceedings pending before FDA, EMA or any other Regulatory Authority with respect to the Compound, Drug Substance, Drug Product or Licensed Product.

(p) Protalix has not withheld any data or information known to Protalix related to the Compound, Drug Substance, Drug Product or Licensed Product, including, but not limited to, preclinical and clinical data, regulatory filings and regulatory communications, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to be material to Chiesi’s decision to enter into this Agreement.

(q) The information contained in the excel file provided by Protalix to Chiesi via e-mail on July 18, 2018 relating to the costs sustained by Protalix through May, 2018 for the Development of the Compound, Drug Substance, Drug Product and Licensed Product is accurate in all material respects.

(r) During the Term, Protalix shall not grant any rights in violation of the rights and licenses granted herein, and Protalix shall not assign the Protalix Patent Rights and/or material Protalix Technology in the Territory except to a permitted assignee of this Agreement pursuant to Section 15.6.

(s) Protalix shall perform its obligations under this Agreement in compliance in all material respects with applicable provisions of the International Federal of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations Code of Practice and applicable provisions of the Chiesi Code of Ethics and Conduct, attached hereto as Exhibit E.

(t) Protalix has obtained the assignment from the inventors of all inventorship rights in the Protalix Patent Rights owned by Protalix.

(u) As of the Effective Date, each of Protalix and Protalix Parent has complied, and upon and after the Effective Date each of Protalix and Protalix Parent shall comply, in all material respects with its respective obligations under the Indenture and each of the Indenture Security Documents, and Protalix covenants that during the Term neither it nor Protalix Parent shall modify or amend any provisions of the Indenture or any of the Indenture Security Documents in a manner that would constitute a breach of the terms of this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, Protalix and Protalix Parent covenant to direct the proceeds of the Effective Date Payment as set forth under Section 5.1 of both this Agreement and the Ex-US Agreement, and of all Event Milestone Payments as set forth under Section 5.2 of both this Agreement and the Ex-US Agreement, as required by the terms of the Indenture.

Protalix has provided Chiesi with true, correct and complete copies of the Indenture and the Indenture Security Documents, including any amendments to any documentation thereof.

(v) Other than to the extent Protalix, acting reasonably, determines that to do so could waive attorney-client privilege or any other legal privilege held by Protalix, or would otherwise breach a confidentiality provision or obligation of Protalix: (i) Protalix shall promptly notify Chiesi in writing of any event, act or condition which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) under the Indenture, and of any notice of any default or breach under the Indenture or the Indenture Security Documents; (ii) each such notification shall contain a summary of the event, act or condition described therein, (iii) at the reasonable request of Chiesi, Protalix shall (x) promptly provide to Chiesi full particulars, of which it is aware, of the applicable matter; and (y) keep Chiesi reasonably informed as to the status and proposed resolution of each such matter. In the event that Protalix and Protalix Parent have not cured any breach or default of Protalix’s financial obligations under the Indenture or Indenture Security Documents with respect to payment of amounts required to be paid thereunder (excluding repayment of principal) within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of such breach or default then Chiesi shall be entitled, but not obligated, to undertake payment or performance of such applicable underlying payment obligation on behalf of Protalix or Protalix Parent as necessary to cure such default or breach and to offset, against amounts payable to Protalix under this Agreement and the Ex-US Agreement, any such amounts paid by Chiesi.

(w) Upon and following the Effective Date, Protalix and Protalix Parent promptly shall (at Chiesi’s sole cost and expense) (i) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the release of that portion of Collateral (as defined in the Indenture) relevant under this Agreement and the Ex-US Agreement from the Note Liens (as defined in the Indenture) in accordance with the Note Documents (as defined in the Indenture), including, if reasonably necessary, by seeking the consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (as defined in the Indenture) should that be required thereunder, and (ii) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Israeli Security Trustee to execute and deliver all documents, and to take all other actions, reasonably required to evidence such release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to incurring any such cost or expense in Protalix’s control (for example, not including legal costs incurred by the Indenture Trustee or Israeli Security Trustee for which Protalix may be responsible) for which Chiesi is responsible under this Section 9.2(w) in excess of [***], Protalix shall obtain Chiesi’s approval to incur such costs; provided that if Chiesi does not grant such consent with respect to any costs or expenses reasonably required to be incurred for Protalix to comply with its obligations in this Section 9.2(w), Protalix shall not be obligated to take any actions under this Section 9.2(w), unless and until Chiesi consents to Protalix incurring such costs.

9.3 Additional Representation and Warranty of Chiesi. Chiesi hereby further represents and warrants to Protalix as of the Effective Date, that to the knowledge of Chiesi, neither Chiesi nor any of its Affiliates (a) is engaged in the Development or Commercialization of a Competing Product on the Effective Date nor (b) has in effect on the Effective Date a written plan to Develop a Competing Product.

This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until the later of (i) the expiration of the last enforceable Protalix Patent Right, or (ii) the 15^th anniversary of Launch in the Territory, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 12 (the “Term”) [***].

Section 12.

TERMINATION

12.1 Termination Rights. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(a) Mutual Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated in its entirety at any time upon mutual written agreement between the Parties.

(b) Material Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party is in material default or breach of this Agreement and such material default or breach is not cured within (i) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is delivered to the defaulting or breaching Party, or (ii) in the case of a breach that cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, within a reasonable period not exceeding ninety (90) days after written notice thereof is delivered to the defaulting or breaching Party, so long as the breaching Party is making a good faith effort to cure such default. For the avoidance of doubt, a [***] does not constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall not entitle Chiesi to terminate this Agreement. Termination shall not be the sole remedy for material breach of this Agreement, and a Party may choose to continue to perform hereunder and in response to any material breach may bring a claim for damages and other available remedies under this Agreement including, where applicable, a claim for injunctive relief, and bringing such a claim in good faith shall not constitute a breach of this agreement.

(c) Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party, if the other Party (i) files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency Law, or (ii) applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver or custodian for a substantial part of its property or business.

(d) Change of Control. Protalix may terminate this Agreement upon written notice, and agreement to pay the Buy-Back Payment, to Chiesi, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control in respect of Chiesi; provided, however, that such written notice must be provided within thirty (30) days of Protalix first becoming aware of the Change of Control. For purposes of this Section 12.1(d), “Buy-Back Payment” means [***]; provided, however that if prior to the occurrence of such Chiesi Change of Control one or more of Event Milestones 2 through 4 have been achieved, such [***] figure in Section 12.1(d)(ii) shall be increased by an amount equal to [***] of the amount of such achieved Event Milestone (for example, if Event Milestones 2 and 3 have been achieved prior to such Chiesi Change of Control, the figure in Section 12.1(d)(ii) shall be increased to [***]). Upon receipt of the termination notice from Protalix, Chiesi must within [***] issue an invoice for the applicable Buy-Back Payment. Such termination will take effect on the first Business Day following written agreement by Protalix to pay the applicable Buy-Back Payment, which must be delivered within [***] of receipt of an invoice provided by Chiesi for a Buy-Back Payment amount that is not disputed by Protalix in good faith. For the avoidance of doubt, until such dispute is resolved pursuant to Section 14.2, such termination will not take effect. For the avoidance of doubt, for so long as this Agreement and the Ex-US Agreement are both in effect, this Section 12.1(d) and Section 12.1(d) under the Ex-US Agreement shall both apply.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

(e) Patent Challenge. Protalix may terminate this Agreement as provided in and in accordance with Section 2.7(b).

(f) [***]. Without limiting its rights under Section 12.1(b):

(i) Protalix may terminate this Agreement (i) in its entirety, upon at least [***] written notice to Chiesi if within [***] of receipt of Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product in the Territory, Chiesi has not Launched for reasons within its reasonable control (and, for clarity, not for reasons outside Chiesi’s reasonable control, i.e., a Force Majeure Event) the Licensed Product in Territory; provided that, if Chiesi delays Launch of the Licensed Product in excess of such [***] period pursuant to the exercise of its decision-making authority on the timing of the Launch based upon Chiesi’s good faith evaluation of any risks associated with Competing Product Patents, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.5, then such [***] period shall be increased to (A) [***], if Event Milestone 2 has been achieved, or (B) [***], if Event Milestone 2 has not been achieved (in each case, solely for the period of such delay in accordance with Section 3.5), or (ii) upon at least [***] written notice to Chiesi, if for a period of [***] at any time following Launch of the Licensed Product in the Territory, [***].

(ii) Protalix may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, in the event that Chiesi or any of its Affiliates (including through any acquisition), directly or indirectly, alone or in collaboration with any Third Party, Develop or Commercialize in the Territory any Competing Product; provided that, and for the avoidance of any doubt, if Chiesi acquires a Competing Product through an acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Third Party, whether by merger, sale of stock, all or substantially all of such Third Party’s assets or other similar transaction, Chiesi or its successor entity, as applicable, shall have ninety (90) days from such acquisition to, at Chiesi’s option, (x) permanently cease the Development and Commercialization of (and agree to not in the future to Develop or Commercialize) such Competing Product in the Territory, or (y) sell or otherwise dispossess ownership of the Competing Product in the Territory, prior to Protalix being able to exercise its termination rights under this Section 12.1(f)(ii). For so long as this Agreement remains in effect, this Section 12.1(f)(ii) hereby amends, replaces and supersedes in its entirety Section 12.1(f)(ii) of the Ex-US Agreement, which shall be of no further force or effect for so long as this Agreement remains in effect.

Without limitation of the foregoing, expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason (i) shall be without prejudice to and shall not impair or limit in any manner (A) Protalix’s right to receive payment from Chiesi of the Price (and any reconciliation amounts calculated in accordance with Section 4.6(h)) in respect of sales of Licensed Product in the Territory occurring prior to the effective date of such expiration or termination, whether or not the due date for such payment is after such effective date of expiration or termination, (B) Protalix’s right to receive the applicable Event Milestone Payment in respect of any Event Milestone which occurs prior to the effective date of expiration or termination, whether or not the due date for such payment is after such effective date of expiration or termination, (C) Protalix’s right to receive payment from Chiesi in accordance with this Agreement for any Licensed Product ordered by Chiesi pursuant to this Agreement prior to the effective date of such expiration or termination, whether or not the due date for such payment is after such effective date of expiration or termination, and (D) any remedies that either Party may have and (ii) shall not release a Party hereto from any indebtedness, liability, payment or other obligation incurred hereunder (including liability for breach of this Agreement) by such Party prior to the effective date of expiration or termination.

The Indemnified Party shall have the right to join in (including the right to conduct discovery, interview and examine witnesses and participate in all settlement conferences), but not control, at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party is defending as provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim with respect to the Indemnified Party, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, in which case, the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of liability under Section 13.1, as applicable, solely for such Third Party Claim and related Damages.

(c) Without limiting the settlement rights set forth in Sections 7.7 and 7.8, neither Party will enter into any settlement of any suit involving Licensed Products that materially affects the other Party’s rights or obligations with respect to the Licensed Product without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

THE FOREGOING SENTENCE SHALL NOT LIMIT THE OBLIGATIONS OF EITHER PARTY TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY FROM AND AGAINST THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER Section 13 OR LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM A BREACH OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER Section 8 ABOVE, OR ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE INFRINGEMENT OF THE PROTALIX PATENT RIGHTS OR PROTALIX TECHNOLOGY INCLUDING, FOR CLARITY, ANY USE BY CHIESI OR ITS AFFILIATES OF THE PROTALIX PATENT RIGHTS OR PROTALIX TECHNOLOGY OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN Section 2 AND PROVIDED THAT THIS SECTION 13.6 SHALL NOT RELIEVE EITHER PARTY FROM ITS PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

[***] Redacted pursuant to confidential treatment request.

13.7 Sole Remedy. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND EXCEPT FOR ANY EQUITABLE REMEDIES THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO A PARTY, INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO Section 13 SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY) AVAILABLE TO PROTALIX OR CHIESI FOR THE MATTERS COVERED THEREIN.

13.8 Concurrency of Agreement and Ex-US Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Ex-US Agreement, each Party acknowledges and agrees (a) a Party shall not be entitled to duplicate recovery under a claim for indemnification or for other damages or losses under both this Agreement and the Ex-US Agreement with respect to the same indemnified Claim or the same damages or loss, respectively, and (b) any action taking under this Agreement or the Ex-US Agreement may also satisfy an obligation of such Party under the other such agreement (i.e., shall action will not be required to be taken twice if its single performance is able to satisfy obligations under both this Agreement and the Ex-US Agreement).

With the exception of those matters referred for resolution by independent accountants under Section 6.1(b), Section 6.6 or Section 6.7(c) or by independent consultants under Section 4.8(c) or by Joint Legal Counsel under Section 14.3, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation or breach thereof, including disputes regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement or the scope of the agreement to arbitrate herein (each, a “Dispute”), shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.2:

(a) If any Dispute arises, either Party may provide written notice of the Dispute to the other Party and request negotiation between the executive officers of each Party (“Dispute Notice”).

Any arbitrator not timely nominated as provided herein shall be appointed by the ICC Court.

(ii) The seat of arbitration shall be London, England. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The Parties agree that the award rendered by the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding and enforceable against the Parties and their respective assets in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(iii) Any arbitration hereunder shall be confidential, and neither the Parties nor their agents shall disclose to any Third Party the existence or status of the arbitration, any information made known or documents produced in the arbitration not otherwise available to them or in the public domain, or any awards arising from the arbitration, except and to the extent that disclosure is required by applicable Law or is required to protect or pursue a legal right.

(iv) For any proceeding in aid of arbitration or for preliminary relief to preserve the status quo or avoid irreparable harm prior to the appointment of an arbitral tribunal, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in England, and waives, to the fullest extent possible, any objection to the laying of venue in such courts. The arbitral tribunal also shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the Parties to request that any court modify or vacate any provisional, temporary or preliminary relief issued by a court hereunder.

(v) In any action pursuant to Section 14.2 and in any action with respect to any arbitration award obtained pursuant to this Agreement or to the enforcement of such an award, the Parties agree to accept service of process in the manner provided for notices in this Agreement, and to waive any other requirements for service of process in any jurisdiction to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

Communications with Joint Legal Counsel, its work product, and the Joint Legal Opinion shall be privileged and confidential and shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Parties, who will be Joint Legal Counsel’s joint clients, except that a Party may disclose the Joint Legal Opinion in confidence to a court or arbitration tribunal if necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

(c) If the Joint Legal Counsel takes the position in the Joint Legal Opinion that the alleged breach or default exists and is able to quantify the amount of liability relating to such breach or default, Chiesi shall be entitled to (but not obligated to) exercise the right set out in Section 9.2(i) to undertake payment or performance of the underlying obligation on behalf of Protalix as necessary to cure such default or breach and to offset, against amounts payable to Protalix under this Agreement, any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Chiesi in the course thereof.

(d) If the Joint Legal Counsel takes the position in the Joint Legal Opinion that the alleged breach or default does not exist (or if the Joint Legal Counsel is unable to reach a conclusion in the Joint Legal Opinion as to the existence or otherwise of the alleged breach or default), then Chiesi may not exercise the right set out in Section 9.2(i), and such alleged breach or default may not be again referred for determination under this Section 14.3.

Protalix BioTherapeutics Expands Partnership with Chiesi Farmaceutici to Include Exclusive U.S.

Rights for the Development and Commercialization of PRX-102 (pegunigalsidase alfa)
for the Treatment of Fabry Disease

Protalix to receive $25 million upfront, an additional up to $20 million in development costs and an additional up to $760 million in potential regulatory and commercial milestone payments for the U.S. rights

U.S. partnership includes tiered royalties ranging from 15% to 40% on net sales

CARMIEL, Israel, July 24, 2018 — GlobeNewswire /Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American:PLX, TASE:PLX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of recombinant therapeutic proteins expressed through its proprietary plant cell-based expression system, ProCellEx®, today announced the expansion of its partnership with Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., or Chiesi. Protalix and Chiesi entered into an exclusive U.S. license and supply agreement which grants to Chiesi the United States rights for the development and commercialization of PRX-102 (pegunigalsidase alfa), the Company’s chemically modified version of the recombinant protein alpha-Galactosidase-A protein, for the treatment of Fabry disease. In October 2017, Protalix announced an exclusive partnership with Chiesi for the development and commercialization of PRX-102 for the treatment of Fabry disease outside the United States.

Under the terms of the U.S. license and supply agreement, Protalix is entitled to an upfront payment of $25 million from Chiesi and additional payments of up to a maximum of $20 million in development costs, capped at $7.5 million per year. Protalix is also eligible to receive an additional up to a maximum of $760 million, in the aggregate, in regulatory and commercial milestone payments, and tiered royalties ranging from 15% to 40% on net sales as consideration for product supply. Protalix will continue to be the manufacturer of PRX-102 for clinical development and commercial purposes.

“We are very pleased to expand our collaboration with Chiesi, a growing global company with well-established global commercial infrastructure with a fast growing commercial presence in the U.S. Chiesi’s global investment of $95 million in upfront payments and development costs reimbursement, and additional up to a maximum of $1 billion in potential milestone payments, combined in the two agreements reflects Chiesi’s true commitment to the Fabry space,” commented Xxxxx Xxxxx, Protalix’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Taking into consideration a $25 million upfront payment and shared development expenses, we expect our cash runaway to take us through the read outs of all of the Fabry clinical trials.”

In pre-clinical trials, PRX-102 demonstrated a significantly enhanced circulatory half-life and higher enzyme activity in the target organs affected by Fabry disease when compared to currently available versions of the molecule. In clinical development, PRX-102 demonstrated strong positive safety and efficacy data in a phase I/II clinical trial. Fabry patients are currently being enrolled in a global, pivotal phase III clinical trial, and Protalix anticipates starting to report data from these studies in the first half of 2019.

“We believe PRX-102 has the potential to transform the treatment of Fabry disease and are excited to now have exclusive commercial rights to PRX-102 worldwide,” said Ugo Di Francesco, Chiesi’s Chief Executive Officer. “The more we work with Protalix and see the progress made in the development and the product’s characteristics, it becomes abundantly clear the significant role PRX 102 could have in the underserved Fabry market and to potentially change the treatment paradigm to the benefit of all stake holders. We believe this U.S. license agreement will bring many synergies in our fast growing U.S. presence in rare diseases.”

Additional details regarding the collaboration can be found in Protalix's Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
