2.1.1           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 2.1.3 below, Unigene hereby grants to GSK (i) an exclusive license under the Licensed Technology, to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import Licensed Product in the Territory in the Field and (ii) an exclusive license under the Licensed Technology, to make, have made, use, and import API and PTH in the Territory; provided that the foregoing licenses as they pertain to the UT Patent shall be non-exclusive and limited to the “Licensed Territory” and “Licensed Field”, as those terms are defined in the UT Patent License Agreement.  The foregoing licenses include the right to sublicense on written terms consistent with all relevant restrictions, limitations and obligations in this Agreement, and subject to the terms of this Agreement as to (a) the using, selling, offering for sale and importing of Licensed Product, (b) the using and importing of API and PTH, and (c) subject to Section 2.1.2, the making and having made of API, PTH and Licensed Product.
 
2.1.1.1                 GSK may request, in GSK’s sole discretion, that the Parties enter into good faith negotiations regarding the grant of rights to GSK under Licensed Technology to commercialize a drug product in a formulation containing or incorporating PTH in combination with a peptide or peptidomimetic compound that is not proprietary to GSK and, in the event Unigene has not granted, or is not presently in discussions regarding the grant of such rights to a Third Party, the Parties shall enter into such negotiations.

2.1.2           GSK has the right to sublicense all aspects of secondary manufacture of Licensed Product (i.e., the manufacture of Licensed Product other than manufacture of API and PTH) without further consent or approval of Unigene.  If, during the Term, GSK elects not to manufacture API or PTH itself for Licensed Product, and the Parties do not agree to a supply agreement pursuant to Section 5.2, GSK may select a Third Party manufacturer to produce API and/or PTH required by GSK; provided, however, that prior to contracting with a Third Party manufacturer to produce API and/or PTH, GSK shall consult with Unigene to ensure that the Third Party manufacturer is acceptable to Unigene, and Unigene shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to the retention by GSK of the Third Party manufacturer.  Should GSK contract with a Third Party for the manufacture of API and/or PTH pursuant to this Section, GSK shall ensure that such Third Party agrees to keep confidential any Unigene Know-How provided to it, under confidentiality provisions no less stringent than those applicable to Unigene and GSK under Article 8.
 
2.1.3           Notwithstanding the grant of an exclusive license to GSK under Section 2.1.1, Unigene shall retain the right to use the Licensed Technology solely to fulfill its obligations under the Phase II Development Plan and Work Plan, and to manufacture PTH for a Third Party or for GSK in accordance with Article 5, but only to the extent that (i) such PTH is not the identical PTH molecule as is then being developed and/or commercialized by GSK anywhere in the Territory in the Field; and (ii) Unigene has obtained a binding contractual commitment of the Third Party that such PTH shall not be used by the Third Party or any of its partners, agents or licensees for oral delivery of PTH in the Field in the Territory.  Any contract that Unigene enters into with a Third Party shall include the right of GSK to enforce such contract on behalf of Unigene against the Third Party.
 
2.2           License Grant from GSK to Unigene.
 
2.2.1           GSK hereby grants to Unigene an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under GSK Inventions (including all GSK Patents and GSK Know-How related thereto) and GSK’s interest in Joint Inventions (including all Joint Patents and Joint Know-How related thereto) developed with the use of Unigene Know-How (other than Unigene Inventions) and which GSK Inventions and Joint Inventions constitute improvements, modifications and/or enhancements of such Unigene Know-How (“Dependent GSK Improvements”) for all purposes, including, but not limited to, making, having made, using, selling, offering to sell, developing, marketing, and distributing drug product, all subject to the reservation of GSK’s rights in Section 2.2.2.
 
2.2.2           Notwithstanding the license grant in Section 2.2.1, GSK reserves the exclusive (even as to Unigene) right, under GSK’s interest in all Dependent GSK Improvements and otherwise under all GSK Inventions and GSK’s interest in Joint Inventions, to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import Licensed Products in the Territory in the Field.  The Parties further agree that, upon GSK’s request, the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations regarding the grant of royalty-bearing rights back to GSK under Unigene’s interest in the Dependent GSK Improvements to commercialize drug product other than Licensed Product in the Territory in the Field, in the event Unigene has not granted, or is not presently in discussions regarding the grant of, such rights to a Third Party.

2.3          Cell Banks.  All right, title and interest in and to any Unigene Cell Bank set forth on Appendix E (including without limitation the underlying cell line) belong to Unigene, and are included in the Unigene Know-How and/or, to the extent included therein, Unigene Patent Rights, and are therefore included within the license grant in Section 2.1.1.  Appendix E shall be amended promptly in writing by the Parties from time to time, as additional Unigene Cell Banks may be provided or created in accordance with the Agreement.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree and acknowledge that:  (a) in the event that (i) Unigene provides a Unigene Cell Bank to GSK, and (ii) GSK does no more to the Unigene Cell Bank than create a new master or working cell bank from that cell bank or change the media and/or the host cell, wherein if the host cell is changed and the new host cell is known in the public domain, then Unigene shall continue to own such Unigene Cell Bank in both its original and newly created forms, and the newly created form shall be added to Appendix E; and (b) in the event GSK solely creates a Cell Bank that utilizes Unigene Patent Rights and/or Unigene Know-How and which newly created Cell Bank incorporates GSK intellectual property in its plasmid vector or the host cell such that a new host cell that contains GSK Know-How or GSK intellectual property is created, such newly created Cell Bank (and any cell line based on such Cell Bank) shall be owned solely by GSK, shall not be set forth on Appendix E and shall be deemed a Dependent GSK Improvement.  For clarity, nothing in this Agreement grants to Unigene rights to such incorporated GSK intellectual property independent of GSK Dependent Improvements.  To facilitate amendment of Appendix E, GSK shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide prompt written notice to Unigene of the creation of any additional Cell Bank using any Unigene Cell Bank, Unigene Patent Rights and/or Unigene Know-How.  Any information shared with Unigene in this regard shall be deemed Confidential Information under this Agreement.

(1)          GSK shall provide written notice of achievement of a Milestone to Unigene within five (5) Business Days after such event.  Unigene shall provide an invoice to GSK within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the notification.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Milestone 4, Unigene shall provide (i) an invoice to GSK upon achievement of such Milestone 4, which invoice shall be sent in PDF format to GSK’s Alliance Manager and Carla.B.Crawford@gsk.com with a copy to Mark.R.Hancock@gsk.com (or such other e-mail address(es) as may be notified to Unigene by GSK), and (ii) documentation reasonably necessary to demonstrate to GSK that Unigene has fulfilled its payment obligations accrued through the date of the invoice with respect to the conduct of the Phase II Development Plan to the extent that such documentation has not already been provided under Section 3.1.2, and (iii) an updated Unigene cash flow projection from the date of the invoice through the estimated completion date of the Phase II Development Plan.  GSK shall pay Unigene each milestone amount within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of each applicable invoice from Unigene;
 
(2)          each such payment shall be made only one time, based upon the first Licensed Product to achieve a particular Milestone, regardless of how many times such Milestone is achieved;
 
(3)          except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, payment shall not be owed for a Milestone that is not achieved;
 
 
14

 
 
(4)          each such payment shall be non-refundable and non-creditable (except with respect to Milestone 4 as described in Section 4.3.1) to GSK against other amounts due to Unigene under this Agreement;
 
(5)          each of Milestones 1, 2 and 3 (the “Deferred Milestones”) will be paid by GSK only in the event that GSK elects to continue development of the Licensed Product as further described in Section 4.3.  In furtherance of the foregoing, GSK  acknowledges that Unigene delivered the Research Results from the Research Program to GSK on September 20, 2010 and fully complied with its requirements with respect to such delivery as outlined in Amendment No. 6, and the Parties acknowledge that no payment shall be made to Unigene from GSK for such Research Results except in the event that the Deferred Milestones (including Milestone 2 for Research Results Purchase Price) become payable in accordance with Section 4.3.1; and
 
(6)          “annual worldwide Net Sales” as used in this Section shall mean the aggregate Net Sales for all Licensed Product in a Calendar Year across all countries in the Territory.
 
3.3           Second Generation Licensed Product.  In partial consideration for the license to Licensed Technology granted to GSK under Section 2.1 of this Agreement, should GSK, in its sole discretion and at its option, undertake development of a second generation Licensed Product and achieve ***for such second generation Licensed Product, GSK shall pay to Unigene *** U.S. dollars (U.S. ***), which amount shall be non-refundable and not creditable against other amounts due Unigene under this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 3.3, “second generation Licensed Product” shall mean a Licensed Product which enters Phase I after First Commercial Sale of a different Licensed Product.  GSK shall provide written notice to Unigene immediately upon such *** for the second generation Licensed Product.  GSK shall pay Unigene within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of an invoice, which invoice shall be sent in PDF format to GSK’s Alliance Manager and Carla.B.Crawford@gsk.com with a copy to Mark.R.Hancock@gsk.com (or such other e-mail address(es) as may be notified to Unigene by GSK).  Except for the fee set forth in this Section 3.3, there shall be no other milestone payments for each such second generation Licensed Product.
 
3.4           Unigene Formulation Patent Rights Royalties.
 
3.4.1           Royalties on Net Sales where Valid Claim of Unigene Formulation Patent Rights Exists.  In partial consideration of the license and rights granted under Unigene Formulation Patent Rights hereunder, GSK shall pay royalties to Unigene on Net Sales of all Licensed Products covered by a Valid Claim of Unigene Formulation Patent Rights as follows:
 
(a)           *** of annual Net Sales up to *** U.S. dollars (<U.S. ***);
 
 
15

 
 
(b)           *** of annual Net Sales including and in excess *** U.S. dollars (>U.S. ***) up to *** U.S. dollars (<U.S. ***);
 
(c)           *** of annual Net Sales including and in excess of *** U.S. dollars (>U.S. ***) up to *** U.S. dollars (<U.S. ***); and
 
(d)           *** of annual Net Sales including and in excess of ***, *** U.S. dollars (>U.S. ***);
 
provided that, for purposes of this Section, achievement of the Net Sales thresholds set forth above shall be determined by adding the total annual Net Sales of all Licensed Products during each Calendar Year in all countries of the Territory in which there is a Valid Claim of Unigene Formulation Patent Rights claiming the particular Licensed Product at the time such Net Sales of such Licensed Product occur.
 
By way of example, if the annual Net Sales were *** U.S. dollars (U.S.***), then the royalties due under this Section would be *** U.S. dollars (U.S. ***), calculated as (U.S. *** x ***%) plus (U.S. *** x ***%).
 
3.4.2           Payment of Royalties.  Payment of royalties shall be made forty-five  (45) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter on all Net Sales in the preceding quarter (“Quarterly Payment”).  Each Quarterly Payment shall be accompanied by a report detailing the total Net Sales by country in the Territory for the preceding Calendar Quarter, and, if GSK is claiming a reduced royalty rate under Section 3.4.3 or 3.4.4, the sales volume of the Equivalent Product or Similar Product.  In the event that a Net Sales threshold as described in Section 3.4.1 is met during a Calendar Quarter, all subsequent Quarterly Payments in that Calendar Year shall be made at the higher applicable royalty rate.  If applicable, GSK shall include in the Quarterly Payment applicable to the fourth Calendar Quarter of each Calendar Year, any additional royalties owed for Net Sales in such Calendar Year, based on the annual Net Sales for such Calendar Year.
 
3.4.3           Royalty where Substantial Equivalent Competition Exists.  Where Substantial Equivalent Competition by an Equivalent Product exists in a country in which a Licensed Product covered by a Valid Claim of Unigene Formulation Patent Rights is being sold, the applicable royalties set forth in Section 3.4.1 on Net Sales in such country shall be reduced by *** percent (***%) for each Calendar Quarter in which Substantial Equivalent Competition exists.  “Substantial Equivalent Competition” means the situation where an Equivalent Product achieves *** percent (***%) or more sales (by volume) of the Licensed Product in such country, as measured by IMS or an equivalent Third Party service acceptable to both Parties, on a monthly basis for each month of a Calendar Quarter.
 
 
16

 
 
3.4.4           Royalty where Substantial Similar Competition Exists.  In the event Section 3.4.3 does not apply, where Substantial Similar Competition by a Similar Product exists in a country in which a Licensed Product covered by a Valid Claim of Unigene Formulation Patent Rights is being sold, the applicable royalties set forth in Section 3.4.1 on Net Sales in such country shall be reduced by *** percent (***%) for each Calendar Quarter in which Substantial Similar Competition exists.  “Substantial Similar Competition” means the situation where a Similar Product achieves *** percent (***%) or more sales (by volume) of the Licensed Product in such country, as measured by IMS or an equivalent Third Party service acceptable to both Parties, on a monthly basis for each month of a Calendar Quarter.
 
3.4.5           Single Royalty; Non-Royalty Sales.  No royalty shall be payable under Section 3.4.1 above with respect to sales of the Licensed Product among GSK, its Affiliates and sublicensees for resale to a Third Party.  In no event shall more than one such royalty be due Unigene hereunder with respect to the sale of each Licensed Product, even if such Licensed Product is covered by more than one Valid Claim within the Unigene Formulation Patent Rights.
 
3.5           Royalties on Net Sales where No Valid Claim of Unigene Formulation Patent Rights Exists.  In the event that no royalty on certain Net Sales is paid under Section 3.4 because the Licensed Product for sale is not covered by a Valid Claim of Unigene Formulation Patent Rights, then as further consideration for the licenses granted to GSK under Section 2.1 of this Agreement, GSK shall pay to Unigene *** percent (***%) of the otherwise applicable royalty rate set forth in Section 3.4.1 on such Net Sales.  Where either Substantial Equivalent Competition or Substantial Similar Competition exists in such country where the Licensed Product is not covered by a Valid Claim, the royalty rate outlined in Section 3.4 on Net Sales in such country shall be reduced by *** percent (***%) for each Calendar Quarter in which Substantial Equivalent Competition or Substantial Similar Competition exists, as applicable.
 
3.6           Royalty Term.  The obligation of GSK to pay royalties under Section 3.4 shall continue for each Licensed Product on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, until such time as there are no Valid Claims covering the manufacture, sale or use of such Licensed Product in such country.  The obligation of GSK to pay royalties under Section 3.5 shall continue for each Licensed Product on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis and country-by-country basis until *** (***) years from the date of First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product in such country.  In the event that the obligation of GSK to pay royalties under Section 3.4.1 as to a Licensed Product expires prior to *** (***) years from the date of First Commercial Sale of such Licensed Product, upon such expiration, GSK shall pay royalties under Section 3.5 as to such Licensed Product.
 
3.7           Third Party Fees or Royalties.  GSK shall be fully responsible for the payment of any additional royalties, license fees, milestones and any and all other payments due to Third Parties other than those due under the UT Patent License Agreement (which are the sole responsibility of Unigene) that are required for GSK or its licensees to develop, manufacture, use, market, sell or import PTH or Licensed Product, until First Commercial Sale of Licensed Product.  After First Commercial Sale, Unigene shall be responsible for *** percent (***%) of royalties due Third Parties (other than with respect to the UT Patent, as described above) which are directly related to GSK or its licensees’ manufacture, use, sale or import of Licensed Technology, at GSK’s request and upon provision of sufficient documentation by GSK to show the existence of such an obligation and its direct relation to the Licensed Technology.  Unigene shall meet its responsibility for such payments solely in the form of deductions from Quarterly Payments, and in no event shall such deductions exceed *** percent (***%) of any Quarterly Payment.  GSK shall consult with Unigene before entering into any agreement which might subject Unigene to obligations under this Section 3.8; however, GSK shall retain the right of final decision.

3.8           Third Party Payments - *** Patent.
 
3.8.1           Unigene Notification Regarding *** Patent.  Notwithstanding Unigene’s obligations under Section 3.8 of this Agreement to reimburse part of certain Third Party payments, Unigene shall have no such obligation to make any such payments for use of technology claimed in the *** Patent in the event that: (i) Unigene notifies GSK in writing that it believes that the method of manufacture of the API and/or the Licensed Product is not within the scope of any claim of the *** Patent; and (ii) GSK does not respond in writing to Unigene within forty-five (45) days of receipt of Unigene’s notice.  In the event GSK provides written response to Unigene, GSK will notify Unigene of its election to have an outside patent expert (“Outside Expert”) who is not affiliated with either Party determine whether the method of manufacturing the API and/or the Licensed Product is within one or more claims of the *** Patent, in accordance with Section 3.9.2 below.
 
3.8.2           Outside Expert Opinion on Scope of *** Patent.  In the event that GSK gives notice to Unigene under Section 3.9.1 that GSK elects an Outside Expert determination, the Parties shall promptly select a mutually acceptable objective patent expert to act as Outside Expert and shall supply such Outside Expert with such materials and information as either Party may deem relevant, or as the Outside Expert may request.  The Outside Expert will be asked to render a full and well reasoned, written opinion (“Opinion”) that the Outside Expert believes that it is more likely than not that either:
 
(1)           the manufacturing process for the API and/or Licensed Product is within the scope of the *** Patent; or
 
(2)           the method of manufacturing the API and/or Licensed Product is outside the scope of the *** Patent.
 
The Outside Expert, in rendering this Opinion, shall utilize only the facts and materials provided by the Parties and shall apply the body of law relevant to patent claim interpretation for infringement purposes (including doctrine of equivalents and file history estoppel analysis), as set forth in Title 35 of the United States Code and related case law.  The Opinion shall contain the Outside Expert’s explanation for his conclusions and shall be provided to both parties promptly after completion.
 
 
18

 
 
3.8.3           Effect of Opinion.  In the event that the Outside Expert determines that the method of manufacturing the API and/or Licensed Product is not within the scope of the *** Patent, then Unigene shall not be required to reimburse GSK with respect to the *** Patent, and GSK shall reimburse Unigene for all deductions from Quarterly Payments related to use of technology claimed in the *** Patent made after the date of notice provided under Section 3.9.1, such reimbursement to be made no later than the next Quarterly Payment after the date of the Opinion set forth in Section 3.9.2.  In the event that the Outside Expert determines that the method of manufacturing the API and/or the Licensed Product is within the scope of the *** Patent, then Unigene’s obligation of reimbursement under Section 3.7 with respect to the *** Patent shall continue uninterrupted.
 
3.8.4           Fees.  The fees paid to the Outside Expert shall be borne equally between the Parties.
 
3.8.5           Finality.  The Opinion of the Outside Expert shall be final for the purposes of determining Unigene reimbursement obligations under Section 3.7 of this Agreement with respect only to the *** Patent, and shall not be appealable by either Party.  However, the procedure set forth in Section 3.9 may be repeated upon the request of either Party in the event that the method of manufacturing the API and/or Licensed Product is substantially changed and/or the *** Patent is reissued subsequent to the rendering of an Opinion by an Outside Expert.
 
3.9           Currencies.  Payments under this Agreement shall be made in United States Dollars.  Revenues and expenses for each country shall be converted into United States Dollars using the applicable exchange rate for converting such local currency to the United States Dollar in accordance with the average exchange rates as calculated and utilized by GSK’s group reporting system and published accounts.  As of the Amendment Effective Date, the method utilized by GSK’s group reporting system uses spot exchange rates sourced from Reuters/Bloomberg.
 
3.10           Manner of Payments.  All sums due to Unigene under this Agreement shall be payable in United States Dollars by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as Unigene shall designate.  GSK shall notify Unigene as to the date and amount of any such wire transfer to Unigene at least two (2) Business Days prior to such transfer.  Interest for payments that are not paid within thirty (30) days of the date on which they were due shall accrue at one percent (1%) per month or portion thereof from the date payment was due.
 
 
19

 
 
3.11           Tax Withholding.  Any tax, duty or other levy paid or required to be withheld by GSK or its sublicensees on account of royalties or other payments payable to Unigene under this Agreement shall be deducted from the amount of royalties or payments otherwise due, provided that GSK shall make such deductions only to the minimum extent required by the relevant jurisdiction.  GSK shall secure and send to Unigene proof of any such taxes, duties or other levies withheld and paid by GSK or its sublicensees for the benefit of Unigene, and cooperate at Unigene’s reasonable request to ensure that amounts withheld are reduced to the fullest extent permitted by the relevant jurisdiction.
 
3.12           Financial Records and Audits; Unigene’s Right to Audit.  Unigene, at its own cost, through an independent auditor reasonably acceptable to GSK, may inspect and audit the records of GSK pertaining to the sale of Licensed Product and any royalties due to Unigene under Section 3.4.  GSK shall provide such auditors with access to the records during reasonable business hours.  Such access need not be given to any such set of records more often than once each year or more than three (3) years after the date of any report to be audited, and the auditors shall report to Unigene only the amount of royalty due.  Unigene shall provide GSK with written notice of its election to inspect and audit the records related to the royalty due hereunder not less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of review of GSK’s records by Unigene’s auditors.  GSK shall maintain sufficient records to permit the inspection and auditing permitted hereunder for three (3) years after the date of each respective reporting period.  GSK shall prepare its records and reports according to generally accepted accounting principles of the United States.  Should the auditor find any underpayment of royalties by GSK, GSK shall promptly pay Unigene the amount of such underpayment, plus interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month or portion thereof on the amount of any underpayment from the date payment was due, and shall reimburse Unigene for the cost of the audit should such underpayment equal or exceed *** percent (***%) of royalties paid during the time period audited.
 
ARTICLE 4
DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION
 
4.1             Licensed Product Development and Commercialization by GSK.  Except for Unigene’s responsibilities to carry out the Phase II Development Plan, GSK shall undertake and resource all development of Licensed Product during the Term, and GSK shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to develop Licensed Product(s) in the Field in the Territory for so long as it retains full rights thereto under this Agreement, and shall bear all costs it incurs in conducting such development, including, without limitation, expenses incurred in conducting clinical trials.  During the Term, GSK shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, at its sole expense, to commercialize and distribute Licensed Product(s) in the Field in the Territory for so long as GSK retains rights thereto under this Agreement.  GSK shall have the sole discretion, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, to decide whether to commercialize a Licensed Product in a country in the Territory.
 
 
20

 
 
4.2             Licensed Product Development and Other Responsibilities of Unigene.
 
4.2.1           Phase II Development Plan.  Unigene shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct development activities for the Licensed Product as set forth in the Phase II Development Plan.  The initial Phase II Development Plan including the costs to be covered by the Upfront Fee is set forth in the Work Plan attached hereto as Appendix B.  The Phase II Development Plan may be amended by the Project Team, subject to the approval of the JSC.  Except as provided in the Phase II Development Plan, all other development of Licensed Product will be GSK’s responsibility as described in Section 4.1.  Within five (5) Business Days after the finalization of the Phase II clinical study report with respect to the conduct of the Phase II Development Plan, prepared in accordance with the ICH Harmonised Tripartite Guideline Structure and Content of Clinical Study Reports (the “Phase II Report”), Unigene shall provide GSK with written notice of completion of the Phase II Development Plan, along with such Phase II Report.  Unigene shall also provide GSK with such additional information with respect to the results, findings and data generated under the Phase II Development Plan as may be reasonably requested by GSK.  For the avoidance of doubt, GSK requests for such additional information shall not alter the Decision Period set forth in Section 4.3.
 
4.2.2           Breach of Phase II Development Plan.  In the event that, prior to completion of the Phase II Development Plan by Unigene, GSK notifies Unigene in writing that Unigene has committed a material breach in the performance of the Phase II Development Plan, and if such material breach is not cured within sixty (60) days after receipt of such written notice from GSK with respect to such default, then GSK shall have the following rights with respect to any ongoing clinical trials of Licensed Product conducted by Unigene under the Phase II Development Plan: (i) the Parties shall cooperate to facilitate the orderly transfer to GSK of the conduct of such clinical trials as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to requirements of law, (ii) until such time as the conduct of such clinical trials has been successfully transferred to GSK, Unigene shall continue such clinical trials at Unigene’s expense, (iii) following the date on which the conduct of such clinical trials has been successfully transferred to GSK, GSK shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete such clinical trials and shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses of such ongoing clinical trials, and (iv) within five (5) Business Days after the finalization of the Phase II II Report, GSK shall provide Unigene with written notice of completion of the Phase II Development Plan, along with such Phase II Report.  In the event that GSK incurs costs of the clinical trial prior to transfer to GSK as described in (ii) above, then the following terms shall apply: (1) GSK shall be permitted to deduct *** percent (***%) of such costs from the payment of future milestones and royalties to Unigene, and (2) GSK shall be entitled to make payments to Unigene for the Deferred Milestones at *** percent (***%) of the amounts set forth in Section 3.2 when and if they become due.  For the avoidance of doubt, and by way of example only, if GSK incurs *** Dollars (U.S. ***) for the conduct of the clinical trial prior to such clinical trial being transferred to GSK, and GSK has already paid to Unigene *** Dollars (U.S. ***) for achievement of Milestone 4, and the Deferred Milestones subsequently become due, then GSK would owe to Unigene a total of *** Dollars (U.S. ***) calculated as follows:  *** (***% of *** in total Deferred Milestones less *** (creditable payment for achievement of Milestone 4)), less *** (***% of the clinical trial costs incurred by GSK). 
 
 
21

 
 
4.2.3           Other Unigene Responsibilities.  During the Term, Unigene shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to conduct the activities (other than the Phase II Development Plan as described in Section 4.2.1) set forth in the Work Plan.
 
4.2.4           Unigene FTE Payments.  As consideration for work conducted by Unigene FTEs in accordance with the Work Plan and/or as authorized by the JSC or Project Team, GSK shall pay Unigene *** U.S. dollars (U.S. ***) per year per Unigene FTE, which rate shall increase each Calendar Year upon the anniversary date of the Effective Date by a percentage equal to the increase in the CPI, All Urban Consumers, in the previous Calendar Year, and shall reimburse Unigene for all preapproved out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable travel and hotel costs) consistent with the Work Plan and/or as authorized by the JSC or Project Team.  Subject to Sections 4.4.4 and 4.4.5, the maximum FTE payments payable to Unigene are set forth in Appendix B. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum cost of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) for the conduct of the Phase II Development Plan, as set forth in Appendix B, is to be covered using the Upfront Fee, and therefore, unless the provisions of Sections 4.4.4 and 4.4.5 apply, GSK shall not be responsible for additional payments to Unigene for FTEs with respect to the conduct of the Phase II Development Plan.
 
4.3           GSK Development Decision.  GSK shall provide written notice to Unigene, not later than seventy-five (75) days after the date on which Unigene has provided the Phase II Report to GSK or, in the event Section 4.2.2 is applicable, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date on which GSK has provided the Phase II Report to Unigene (the “Decision Period”) specifying that either (i) GSK agrees to continue further clinical development of the Licensed Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) GSK elects not to continue further clinical development of the Licensed Product.
 
4.3.1          Decision to Continue Development.  If GSK provides written notice to Unigene within the applicable Decision Period that it will continue further clinical development of the Licensed Product, then within ten (10) days of Unigene’s receipt of such notice, Unigene shall provide an invoice to GSK setting forth a request for payment of the total amount of the Deferred Milestones, less the *** dollars (U.S. ***) paid by GSK to Unigene for achievement of Milestone 4, for a total of *** dollars (U.S. ***) subject to any further adjustment that may be required under Section 4.2.2.  Such invoice shall be sent in PDF format to GSK’s Alliance Manager and Carla.B.Crawford@gsk.com with a copy to Mark.R.Hancock@gsk.com (or such other e-mail address(es) as may be notified to Unigene by GSK), and GSK shall pay Unigene within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such invoice.  Within thirty (30) days after GSK makes payment to Unigene in accordance with this Section 4.3.1, Unigene shall use reasonable efforts to transfer and deliver to GSK the nonclinical and clinical data resulting from the conduct of the Phase II Development Plan, as described in the Work Plan.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing transfer does not include and is separate from a transfer of manufacturing technology, which is handled pursuant to Section 5.2.  The Parties shall cooperate with each other to facilitate orderly transition and uninterrupted development of the Licensed Product from Unigene to GSK.
 
 
22

4.4.4          Certain Principles of Governance.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the JSC, Project Team, Alliance Managers or JPC shall have any authority or power to amend or modify the terms or provisions of this Agreement; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing is not intended to prevent the JSC, Project Team, Alliance Managers or JPC from performing its or their obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement.  To the extent that GSK, in exercising its final decision-making authority in accordance with Section 4.4.1 or the Parties, determines that amendments are required to be made to the Work Plan, and such amendments would impose on Unigene additional obligations, including financial obligations or additional FTE requirements in excess of those outlined in the Work Plan as of the Amendment Effective Date, or would materially delay the timing of the completion of the Phase II Development Plan from what the Parties anticipated as of the Amendment Effective Date, then the following principles shall apply:  (i) in the case of amendments creating additional obligations on Unigene, GSK shall provide Unigene with funding to cover the costs of all such financial obligations and FTE requirements, or (ii) in the case of an anticipated delay in completion of the Phase II Development Plan solely in the event that GSK has exercised its final decision-making authority in accordance with Section 4.4.1 because the Parties were unable to reach a unanimous decision on amending the Phase II Development Plan in a manner that would result in such delay, GSK shall make monthly payments to Unigene for such delay as described in Section 4.4.5 (each such monthly payment  referred to herein as “Compensatory Payments”).  For the avoidance of doubt, if only (ii) above occurs, then GSK will be responsible for paying only the Compensatory Payment, but shall not provide additional funding, including FTE funding, for the applicable period of delay.
 
4.4.5          Additional Funding.  If GSK is required to provide funding to Unigene as described in Section 4.4.4 due to amendments to the Work Plan, then GSK shall make such payments to Unigene on a monthly basis prior to Unigene incurring any such costs, and within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Unigene, describing in detail the work to be performed by Unigene FTEs, a breakdown of hours of work to be performed, other costs expected to be incurred by Unigene in the applicable month, or the Compensatory Payment, as applicable under the circumstances, and any other supporting documentation requested by GSK.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, GSK shall not be responsible for additional costs required due to Unigene’s negligence or a failure by Unigene to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts with respect to implementation of the Work Plan, including the Phase II Development Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, cash flow expenses associated with a delay in the conduct of the Phase II Development Plan due to Unigene’s negligence or failure to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts with respect thereto).  In the event that a Compensatory Payment is due to Unigene in accordance with Section 4.4.4(ii) above, the following principles shall apply: (i) at the time GSK exercises its final decision-making authority to amend the Phase II Development Plan in a manner that will cause a delay, the Parties shall agree (subject to GSK’s final decision-making authority) on the then-current estimated end date of the Phase II Development Plan and the period of delay beyond such estimated end date; (ii) the Compensatory Payment will be an amount equal to the monthly rate of net cash used in operating activities as set forth in Unigene’s most recent 10-Q or 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, that such monthly rate shall in no event exceed *** Dollars (***); (iii) GSK shall pay Unigene the Compensatory Payment on a monthly basis (as described above) for the period of delay agreed upon under Section 4.4.5(i); provided, that if the delay is longer than agreed or determined by GSK, then GSK shall make Compensatory Payments for up to two (2) additional months after the estimated delay period; and provided, further that if the delay exceeds such additional two (2) months, then GSK shall not be obligated to make further Compensatory Payments and the Parties shall meet as soon as reasonably practicable to mutually agree on the future conduct and financing of the Phase II Development Plan; and (v) Compensatory Payments shall be creditable against the payment of future milestones payable to Unigene, including the Deferred Milestones.

4.5           Compliance.  The Parties shall conduct all of their respective development activities under this Agreement in good scientific manner, and in compliance in all material respects with applicable laws and the policies set forth in the attached Exhibit F (to the extent such policies are applicable to the activities being conducted by that Party) and, to the extent applicable, all other requirements of current good manufacturing practice, current good laboratory practice and current good clinical practice.

ARTICLE 5
SUPPLY AND MANUFACTURE
 
5.1           API Supply.  Upon GSK’s request, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of supply for API for GSK clinical development or commercialization of Licensed Product, such terms to include a supply price for API set at ***.  Notwithstanding this Section 5.1, GSK reserves the right to supply its requirements of API and/or Licensed Product (which Licensed Product can be supplied either alone or from a contract manufacturer, subject to Section 2.1.2) in order to develop and commercialize Licensed Product for GSK and/or its Affiliates and sublicensees.  Further, notwithstanding the license grant to GSK in Section 2.1, the Parties acknowledge that Unigene has produced, and will be responsible for additional required production of, clinical supplies of API and finished product for the Phase II clinical trial to be carried out under the Phase II Development Plan.
 
5.2           Transfer of Manufacturing Technology from Unigene.  At the appropriate time, the Parties shall coordinate the transfer of manufacturing technology not previously transferred prior to the Amendment Effective Date to enable GSK to procure its own supply of API and/or Licensed Product.  The Unigene FTEs required for the transfer of manufacturing technology, if any, will be outlined in the Work Plan and may be included in the Project Team in accordance with Section 4.4.2.

10.2           Termination for Material Breach.
 
10.2.1           Process.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement in the event the other Party has materially breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, and if such default is not corrected within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice from the other Party with respect to such default, such other Party shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Party in default; provided, that the notice of termination is given within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the sixty (60) day cure period; and provided, further that the time period for providing such notice of termination may be extended in the non-defaulting Party’s discretion for so long as the Parties are engaged in good faith negotiations to resolve the situation.  Notwithstanding the above, in the case of a failure of GSK to pay any royalty due hereunder, the period for cure of any such failure to pay following notice from Unigene thereof shall be thirty (30) days and, unless payment is made by GSK within such period or unless GSK has notified Unigene that a good faith dispute exists regarding GSK’s failure to pay, the termination shall become effective at the end of such thirty (30) day period.
 
10.2.2           Disagreement.  If the Parties reasonably and in good faith disagree as to whether there has been a material breach, the Party which seeks to dispute that there has been a material breach may contest the allegation in accordance with Section 11.5.  From the date any claim of material breach is referred to the Executive Officers in accordance with Section 11.5.1 and for thirty (30) days thereafter, the time period during which the Party accused of an alleged breach must cure such alleged breach that is the subject matter of the dispute shall be suspended and no termination under Section 10.2.1 shall become effective.
 
10.3           Termination for Insolvency.  If voluntary or involuntary proceedings by or against a Party are instituted in bankruptcy under any insolvency law, or a receiver or custodian is appointed for such Party, or proceedings are instituted by or against such Party for corporate reorganization or the dissolution of such Party, which proceedings, if involuntary, shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date of filing, or if such Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or substantially all of the assets of such Party are seized or attached and not released within sixty (60) days thereafter, the other Party may immediately terminate this Agreement effective upon notice of such termination.  All rights and distribution rights granted under or pursuant to the Agreement by Unigene to GSK are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(52) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The Parties agree that GSK, as licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, subject to performance by GSK of its preexisting obligations under the Agreement.  The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Unigene under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, GSK shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, and same, if not already in its possession, shall be promptly delivered to GSK (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon written request therefore by GSK, unless Unigene elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (b) if not delivered under (a) above, upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of Unigene upon written request therefore by GSK, provided, however, that upon Unigene’s (or its successor’s) written notification to GSK that it is again willing and able to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, GSK  shall promptly return all such tangible materials to Unigene , but only to the extent that GSK  does not require continued access to such materials to enable GSK to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
 
 
39

 
 
10.4           Termination by GSK.  GSK may terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion on a country-by-country basis, or in its entirety, by giving Unigene at least ninety (90) days written notice (with such written notice to include a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons for the termination, including the applicable provision of this Section 10.4 and the supporting evidence therefore) thereof at any time for any of the reasons set forth below based on a reasonable determination by GSK, using the same standards GSK would use in assessing whether or not to continue development or commercialization of a product of its own making in its own portfolio, that:
 
(i)           the Licensed Product has:
 
(1)           safety concerns which do not justify continued development or commercialization, would significantly disadvantage the Licensed Product with respect to other compounds or products and/or would significantly reduce the value of the opportunity; or
 
(2)           efficacy concerns which do not justify continued development or commercialization, or would significantly disadvantage the Licensed Product with respect to other compounds or products and/or would significantly reduce the value of the opportunity; or
 
(3)           substantial difficulty in meeting developmental timelines; or
 
(4)           substantial increases in development costs from current projections;
 
(ii)           the cost of goods for commercial supply of Licensed Product would significantly reduce the value of the opportunity;
 
 
40

 
 
(iii)           changes to the osteoporosis market and/or the competitive environment reduce the sales forecast below a commercially viable threshold normally applied by GSK within its own portfolio;
 
(iv)           government, regulatory or another recognized institution imposes a new law or requirement, or establishes guidelines or a pattern of practice, which means:
 
(1)           the continued development or commercialization of the Licensed Product violates such a law or requirement, or
 
(2)           the value of the opportunity is significantly reduced, or
 
(3)           the pricing and/or reimbursement environment has changed in such a way as to significantly reduce the projected value of the opportunity, or
 
(4)           a condition in (i) or (iii) above becomes applicable.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, GSK may not effectively terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.4 any earlier than the date on which it receives notification from Unigene that Milestone 4 has been achieved and the corresponding payment is due (in which case GSK shall owe Unigene the Milestone 4 payment) unless GSK determines that there are material safety concerns which do not justify continued development or commercialization of the Licensed Product.

11.5.2.2                      Once the arbitrator has been selected, the Parties shall ensure that the hearing for the dispute is held within ninety (90) calendar days of submission of the dispute to arbitration.  Both Parties would make their submissions of evidence, including written statements of the Parties’ respective positions on the dispute in advance of the hearing.  Within thirty (30) calendar days following the submission of such evidence by the Parties, the arbitrator would conduct a one (1) day hearing and shall be required by the Parties to render a final decision within thirty (30) calendar days of such hearing.  The decision of the arbitrator would be final and binding.
 
11.5.2.3                      The arbitrator may proceed to an award, notwithstanding the failure of either Party to participate in the proceedings.  The arbitrator shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall not be authorized to award non-economic damages or punitive, special, consequential, or any other similar form of damages.  The arbitrator also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief the arbitrator deems just and equitable and within the scope of this Agreement, including an injunction or order for specific performance, but is not authorized to reform, modify or materially change this Agreement.  The award of the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties (except for those remedies set forth in this Agreement), the Parties hereby expressly agree to waive the right to appeal from the decisions of the arbitrator, and there shall be no appeal to any court or other authority (government or private) from the decision of the arbitrator.  Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof, subject only to it being vacated on grounds of fraud or clear bias on the part of the arbitrator, as demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.5.2 to the contrary, each Party shall have the right to institute judicial proceedings against the other Party or anyone acting by, through or under such other Party, in order to vacate or confirm an award of the arbitrator, to enforce the instituting Party’s rights hereunder through specific performance, injunction or other equitable relief, or to collect any monetary award of the arbitrator.
 
11.5.2.4                      Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrators; provided, that the arbitrator shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing Party, and if so, to award to that prevailing Party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges and travel expenses).
 
11.5.2.5                      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Party may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to prevent immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage on a provisional basis, pending the decision of the arbitrators on the ultimate merits of any dispute.
 
 
47

 
 
11.5.2.6                      All proceedings and decisions of the arbitrators shall be deemed Confidential Information of each of the Parties, and shall be subject to Article 8.
 
11.6           Force Majeure.                               Neither Party shall be liable to the other for failure or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement for the time and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by earthquake, riot, civil commotion, terrorism, war, hostilities between nations, governmental law, order or regulation, embargo, action by the government or any agency thereof, act of God, storm, fire, accident, labor dispute or strike, sabotage, explosion or other similar or different contingencies, in each case, beyond the reasonable control of the respective Party.  The Party affected by force majeure shall provide the other Party with full particulars thereof as soon as it becomes aware of the same (including its best estimate of the likely extent and duration of the interference with its activities), and will use its best endeavors to overcome the difficulties created thereby and to resume performance of its obligations as soon as practicable.  If the performance of any obligation under this Agreement is delayed owing to a force majeure for any continuous period of more than six (6) months, the Parties hereto shall consult with respect to an equitable solution including the possible termination of this Agreement.
 
11.7           Independent Contractors.  Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended implicitly, or is to be construed, to constitute GSK or Unigene as partners or joint venturers in the legal sense.  No Party hereto shall have any express or implied right or authority to assume or create any obligations on behalf of or in the name of any other Party or to bind any other Party to any contract, agreement or undertaking with any Third Party.
 
11.8           Other Obligations.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as separately agreed upon in writing between Unigene and GSK, each Party shall bear its own costs incurred in connection with the implementation of the obligations under this Agreement.
 
11.9           Severability.  If any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement are in conflict with any applicable statute or rule of law, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that they may conflict therewith and shall be deemed to be modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.  In the event that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are materially altered as a result of the above, the Parties will renegotiate the terms and conditions of this Agreement to resolve any inequities
 
11.10           Further Assurances.  At any time or from time to time on and after the date of this Agreement, either Party shall at the request of the other Party (i) deliver to the requesting Party such records, data or other documents consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) execute, and deliver or cause to be delivered, all such consents, documents or further instruments of assignment, transfer or license, and (iii) take or cause to be taken all such actions, as the requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order for the requesting Party to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
 
48

 
 
11.11           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, both written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and terminates all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, whether written or oral, between GSK and Unigene with respect to such subject matter, including, but not limited to, the Original Agreement and the Confidential Disclosure Agreement dated October 18, 2001.  No terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be varied or modified by any prior or subsequent statement, conduct or act of either of the Parties, except that the Parties may amend this Agreement by written instruments specifically referring to and executed in the same manner as this Agreement.

C. Requirements for Funding for Charitable Donations and External Science/Medical Programs

Charitable Donations

Charitable donations to an eligible Health-Related Organization are allowed.  Charitable donations of either funds or in-kind support are permitted if they are for the purpose of advancing the general mission of an eligible, health-related recipient organization and if they are not tied or directed to a specific event or program.

To be considered eligible for a donation, the health-related organization must meet all of the following:
·                      Non-profit organization
·                      The organization’s principle mission involves advancing science, medicine, or public health (collectively, a “health-related” mission)
·                      The organization does not prescribe, purchase or recommend the Parties products, unless the request for a charitable donation for such an organization is for a widely publicized fund-raising event or campaign in support of the health-related mission of the organization
·                      The organization, as well as its management and leadership, are independent of the control of the Parties or undue influence of any of the Parties’ employees or agents

Even if the health-related organization is eligible to receive a charitable donation, the donation may not be provided if a donation is intended:
·                      As a means of rewarding the prescribing, recommending, or use of the Parties products or services, including the influencing of formulary inclusion or placement
·                      As a means of promoting the use of the Parties products or services. Return on investment (ROI) analyses are not permitted
·                      As a means of supporting political causes or candidates
·                      As a means of supporting any organization or activity without a direct and bona fide scientific, medical, or public health purpose

General Requirements for US Independent Medical Education

D.  Clinical Research Requirements

Maintaining the Confidentiality of Protected Medical Information

The Parties respect the confidential nature of protected medical information (PMI) originating from both healthy and patient volunteers involved in clinical, genetic, and other research work or from staff employed by the Parties. Therefore, a framework should be in place to safeguard PMI against inappropriate collection, retention, use and disclosure (in addition to compliance with law and regulations).

Safeguards include, but are not limited to:
 
1.
Collecting PMI only for specific and lawful purposes
 
2.
Collecting, retaining, using, reusing, and disclosing PMI only with valid consent or as otherwise permitted by law or regulation
 
3.
PMI obtained from external sources is treated as a re-use and all reuse must be consistent with the original informed consent
 
4.
Retention of PMI only for as long as business activities or scientific research requires and retention of only the minimum amount of identifying information necessary
 
5.
Ensuring the physical and technological security of PMI
 
6.
Not using PMI in external publications
 
7.
Never transferring PMI from the pharmaceutical R&D division to the marketing function unless permission is obtained from the individual

If PMI is collected that indicates the need for immediate clinical intervention, that information will be communicated to the study investigator or physician of record.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) means information which identifies a specific individual including but not limited to, name, address, and national identification numbers (e.g. Social Security Number)
 
 
60

 

Protected Medical Information (PMI) is PII that describes clinical and medical conditions, genetic status, treatment of conditions, health status, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, etc and includes both encoded clinical trial data and overtly identifiable data.

Standards for Collecting, Obtaining and Using Human Biological Samples in Research

The Parties respect the interest of donors of human biological samples used in research and require that certain standards should apply to the collection, obtaining and use of such human biological samples, as set forth below.

 
·
Ensure that samples are collected with informed consent and ethics committee/ Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval in accordance with the applicable research requirements of Good Clinical Practice (International Conference on Harmonization). Additionally, through informed consent, donors must be made aware that the research is being undertaken by a commercial entity and that, where applicable, the research involves the analysis of DNA and /or medical information.
 
·
When obtaining samples from another entity that collected the samples for reasons unrelated to the Parties, confirmation that the entity complied with relevant requirements for informed consent, ethics committee/IRB approval and data privacy is required
 
·
Human biological samples must be used only for purposes that are consistent with the consent obtained and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations
 
·
Additional individual donor consent and ethics committee/IRB approval should be obtained when the research use intended is inconsistent with /beyond the scope of the original consent. Additional consent should also be obtained if the original consent did not include analysis of DNA (if relevant to the research proposal) or use of any associated medical information (if relevant to the research proposal).
 
·
In general, cell lines (e.g. HeLa), derivatives (e.g. isolated proteins) and preparations of human biological materials (e.g. sub-cellular fractions) that are well established and made available for research use, do not require re- consent and/or ethics committee/IRB approval for the intended research use
 
·
Proposals to collect, obtain, or use human embryonic or foetal samples for research should be carefully reviewed and such research must have the potential to benefit patients

Conduct and Public Disclosure of Human Subject Research

The Parties carry out human subject research in accordance with the ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice.  Such research conforms to high ethical, medical and scientific standards.  Specific principles for different types of human subject research are set forth below.

All Human Subject Research

All human subject research must be conducted in accordance with the following principles:
 
 
61

 

·                      Human subject research is conducted in accordance with the ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence and justice
·                      Human subject research always has a legitimate scientific purpose and is not designed with the objective of rewarding healthcare professionals for using, purchasing, recommending, or prescribing the Parties’ products
·                      Sales/marketing/commercial staff generally does not participate in the initiation or conduct of human subject research
·                      Placebo controlled studies are conducted only when there are scientifically sound methodological reasons, where the risks are minimized and reasonable in relation to the knowledge gained, and when patients who receive placebo will not be subject to any additional risk of harm
·                      The standard of care required by the study design is, as a minimum, consistent with local standards of care
·                      Human subject research should be publicly disclosed and ideally published in the searchable, peer reviewed, scientific literature

In most circumstances, summary protocols and summary results of clinical studies are posted on publicly available registers and/or in the scientific literature within appropriate timelines.

·                      External proposals for additional analyses of human subject research studies are assessed for scientific merit and undertaken as collaborations between in-house scientists and the proposer.
·                      Clinical studies are never terminated for solely financial reasons.

Interventional Human Subject Research

In addition to the foregoing general principles applicable to all human subject research, the following principles apply to the conduct of Interventional Human Subject Research:

·                      Interventional human subject research is conducted in accordance with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, the principles of ICH GCP E6, ICH E11 (pediatrics)
·                      Interventional studies of medicinal and other products are conducted in countries where the products are expected to be sold in and suitable for the wider community of the country
·                      All interventional human subject research is conducted only with the approval of Institutional Review Boards or Independent Ethics Committees
·                      When interventional human subject research is conducted in developing countries, the Parties seek agreement with key interested external parties in the country on the conduct of the research, including the standard of care provided during the study, the scientific rationale for interventions, including placebo, the provision of healthcare for subjects after the study, and the fate of any capacity built for the conduct of the study
·                      All interventional human subject research requires the informed consent of subjects (or their legal representative) who participate in the research
·                      When nationally licensed medicinal products that are not the subject of the research study are required for the routine care of a patient during the conduct of the study, the Parties only fund these when they are not funded by the normal healthcare infrastructure and there is assurance that they or suitable alternatives will be available and funded after the study while the medical need exists
 
 
62

 
·                      For diseases/conditions that continue beyond the end of an interventional study, the Parties must be assured the healthcare system is able to provide, and will take responsibility for, the continued care of study subjects
·                      When there is a compelling medical rationale for patients who have derived measurable medical benefit from an investigational medicinal product during an interventional study to continue to receive that product after the study, the Parties endeavor to provide that treatment either through additional clinical studies or through expanded access programs
·                      The Parties provide investigators with the summary results of interventional studies in which they participate, and encourages investigators to inform their subjects of the results

Meta-analyses and Pooled Analyses

The following principles apply to research that uses data from more than one previously conducted clinical study (Meta-analyses and Pooled Analyses):

·                      Research utilizing data from the Parties’ previous clinical studies in a manner inconsistent with, or beyond the scope of, the original informed consent requires re-consent of the subjects, or if this is not practical, IRB/IEC approval.  If this is not practical, the data are anonymized
·                      The Parties review, before submission for publication, any proposed manuscripts, presentations or abstracts prepared by research collaborators which originate from the Parties human subject research studies (including the Parties supported studies)
 
 
Non-Interventional (observational) Human Subject Research

The following principles apply to Non-interventional (observational) human subject research:

·                      For observational studies where clinical data are collected by or on behalf of the Parties specifically for the purpose of the research, the Parties abide by the local legal requirements and regulations for informed consent for the use of these data and IRB/IECs approval is obtained
·                      For observational studies using healthcare databases, the Parties are assured that there is compliance with relevant legal requirements for data privacy and that patients have provided informed consent for the use of their data in research, or IRB/IEC approval has been obtained for that use; or other measures to protect privacy are in place (e.g. the data are anonymized)
