ARTICLE 7

SECURITY OF SUPPLY; RIGHT TO MANUFACTURE”

3.11 Section 7.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

7.4 Teva Right to Manufacture; Additional Manufacturing.

(a) At any time after the Amendment Effective Date, Teva shall have a right, upon written notification to Alexza, to elect to have a Third Party manufacturer that is selected by Teva and reasonably acceptable to Alexza, qualified to manufacture the Product (an “Additional Manufacturer”). Following receipt of such written notification, Alexza shall prepare an estimated reasonable budget and implementation plan for approval by Teva to enable such Additional Manufacturer to manufacture the Product. Upon approval by Teva of the implementation plan and budget, Alexza shall enter into an agreement with such Additional Manufacturer to conduct Alexza manufacturing Know-How transfer to enable the Additional Manufacturer to manufacture the Product. All costs and expenses in engaging and qualifying the Additional Manufacturer as a result of Teva’s notification pursuant to this Section 7.4(a) shall be borne by Teva. The agreement with the Additional Manufacturer shall provide that any time prior to the [*] anniversary of the First Commercial Sale, only upon the written notice from Teva (copied to Alexza) of the occurrence of a Failure Event (defined below in Section 7.5) shall the Additional Manufacturer manufacture Product for Teva. For clarity, Teva shall not initiate or permit any manufacturing by a Third Party or Additional Manufacturer prior to the [*] anniversary of the First Commercial Sale, except as provided in Section 7.5.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time, Teva shall have the right pursuant to this Section 7.4(b), upon written notification to Alexza to qualify it (or one or more of its Affiliates) to manufacture the Product and to take over the manufacturing rights and obligations of Alexza under this Agreement. Following receipt of such written notification, Alexza shall conduct a Know-How transfer to enable Teva (or its designated Affiliates) to manufacture the Product. Once Teva (or its designated Affiliates) are so qualified and capable of manufacturing the Product required by Teva under this Agreement, (i) Alexza shall no longer have the right or obligation to manufacture the Product under this Agreement, (ii) the co-exclusive license granted by Alexza and its Affiliates under Section 2.1(a)(i)(B) shall become an exclusive license (even as to Alexza and its Affiliates) to Teva and its Affiliates and (iii) the co-exclusive license granted by Alexza and its Affiliates under Section 2.1(b)(i)(A) shall become an exclusive license (even as to Alexza and its Affiliates) to Teva and its Affiliates. All costs and expenses in engaging and qualifying Teva (or its designated Affiliates) as a result of Teva’s notification pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) shall be borne by Teva (or its designated Affiliates). In addition, Alexza shall use Commercially

Reasonable Efforts to obtain the consent of Third Party suppliers, including Suppliers, of the Materials for the Product to provide, upon the exercise of Teva’ rights under this Section 7.4(b), Teva (or its designated Affiliates) with the right to receive such Materials on the same terms in effect for Alexza for use in the manufacture of the Product for use and sale in the U.S.”

3.12 Section 7.5 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

7.5 Failure Event. If either (i) Alexza has not recommenced manufacturing the Product or has not assigned or subcontracted the manufacturing of the Product to a Third Party such that the Product ordered pursuant to the Initial Relaunch Purchase Order will be delivered by the Delivery Date set forth therein, (ii) for [*] successive [*]-month periods, Alexza fails to meet at least [*] percent ([*]%) of its aggregate supply obligation (excluding excess order supply) in Article 6 for such [*] month periods or (iii) in such month when it becomes mathematically impossible, based on shortfalls in deliveries by Alexza in successive preceding months for Alexza and the outstanding Purchase Orders and Supply Forecast, for Alexza to avoid the event specified in clause (ii) above, then a “Failure Event” shall be deemed to have occurred. For clarity, in calculating what percentage of Alexza’s supply obligation has been met, only Units of the Product that have been received and not rejected by Teva pursuant to Section 6.16 shall be included. Upon a Failure Event, Teva shall have the right, within [*] Business Days after such Failure Event upon written notice to Alexza, to elect to make or have made the Product (including the Staccato Device and other components of the Product). To the extent that an Additional Manufacturer has not been qualified or is not available, within [*] days after Teva’s notice to Alexza, the Parties shall agree upon a transition plan to minimize any disruption to the supply of the Product. The transition plan shall include a mutually agreed-upon schedule for transition activities, including transfer of manufacturing Know-How. To enable exercise of the manufacturing rights of Teva under this Section 7.5 upon a Failure Event, Alexza agrees at no additional cost, to provide Teva (or one of more of its Affiliates) or one (1) Third Party manufacturer designated by Teva with technical assistance in the manner designed to enable Teva (or its designated Affiliates) or such Third Party manufacturer to manufacture the Product for Teva and once such Third Party is capable of manufacturing the Product, (i) Alexza shall no longer have the right or obligation to manufacture the Product under this Agreement, (ii) the co-exclusive license granted by Alexza and its Affiliates under Section 2.1(a)(i)(B) shall become an exclusive license (even as to Alexza and its Affiliates) to Teva and its Affiliates and (iii) the co-exclusive license granted by Alexza and its Affiliates under Section 2.1(b)(i)(A) shall become an exclusive license (even as to Alexza and its Affiliates) to Teva and its Affiliates. In addition, Alexza shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the consent of Third Party suppliers, including Suppliers, of the Materials for the Product to provide, upon the exercise of Teva’ rights under this Section 7.5, Teva or a Third Party manufacturer with the right to receive such Materials on the same terms in effect for Alexza for use in the manufacture of the Product for use and sale in the U.S.”

3.14 Section 16.10 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

16.10 Assignment.

(a) Assignments by Teva. This Agreement shall not be assignable or otherwise transferred by Teva, nor may any rights or obligations hereunder be assigned or transferred, by Teva to any Third Party without Alexza’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that, without limitation, it shall not be deemed unreasonable for Alexza to withhold its consent if Teva proposes to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or Teva’s rights or obligations hereunder to a Third Party that Alexza reasonably determines has insufficient sales and marketing capabilities with respect to pharmaceutical products to pursue the commercialization of the Product in accordance with the Agreement; provided, further, that such Third Party must agree in writing to assume responsibility for and be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement, if Teva assigns the Agreement to such Third Party.

(b) Assignments by Alexza. This Agreement shall not be assignable or otherwise transferred by Alexza, nor may any rights or obligations hereunder be assigned or transferred, by Alexza to any Third Party without Teva’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Alexza’s manufacturing rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned, sublicensed, subcontracted or delegated by Alexza to any Third Party with Teva’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that, without limitation, it shall not be deemed unreasonable for Teva to withhold its consent if Alexza proposes to assign, sublicense, subcontract, delegate or otherwise transfer its manufacturing rights or obligations hereunder to a Third Party if Teva reasonably determines (i) that the Third Party has insufficient financial or operational capabilities or lacks sufficient experience in manufacturing a product similar to the Product or (ii) that the Fully Burdened Manufacturing Costs or Third Party Assignment Threshold, as applicable, of the proposed assignment, sublicense, subcontract, delegation or other transfer, prepared in accordance with Section 8.6 of the Agreement, would not be commercially viable in Teva’s reasonable determination; provided, further, that (x) such Third Party must agree in writing to assume responsibility for and be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement applicable to the manufacturing rights and obligations hereunder being assigned,

sublicensed, subcontracted or delegated to such Third Party and (y) in the event of any (1) assignment or other transfer of less than all or (2) sublicense, subcontract or delegation of Alexza’s manufacturing rights and obligations under this Agreement, unless Teva and such Third Party enter into a separate manufacturing and supply agreement, Alexza hereby guarantees and shall remain fully and unconditionally obligated and responsible for the full and complete performance of the manufacturing obligations under this Agreement and such partial assignment or sublicensing, subcontracting or delegation shall not relieve Alexza’s liabilities and obligations to Teva under this Agreement.

(c) Assignments by Teva or Alexza. Notwithstanding Sections 16.10(a) and 16.10(b), either Party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement without the consent of the other Party to (i) any to any of its Affiliates, provided that the assigning Party notifies the other Party in writing within twenty (20) days of such assignment and the assignee agrees to assume responsibility for and be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement in addition to the assigning Party, which shall continue to be bound by such terms; or (ii) to an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of the assigning Party relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether by merger, acquisition or otherwise (a “Change of Control Event”), provided that the acquiring Person agrees to assume responsibility for and be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement in writing or by operation of law, and that such Party or its successor or permitted assignee (as applicable) gives notice in writing to the other Party within [*] days following such Change of Control Event; provided, however, that such acquiring Person shall not be deemed an Affiliate of the acquired Party and intellectual property rights that are owned or held by the acquiring Person to such transaction (if other than one of the Parties to this Agreement) shall not be included in the technology licensed hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 16, either Party shall have the right to assign, sublicense, subcontract or delegate this Agreement or any or all of its obligations or rights hereunder to an Affiliate upon written notice to the other Party; provided, however, the assigning, sublicensing, subcontracting or delegating Party hereby guarantees and shall remain fully and unconditionally obligated and responsible for the full and complete performance of this Agreement by such Affiliate and in no event shall such assignment, sublicensing, subcontracting or delegation be deemed to relieve such Party’s liabilities or obligations to the other Party under this Agreement. The other Party shall, at the request of the assigning, sublicensing, subcontracting or delegating Party, enter into such supplemental agreements with the applicable Affiliates as may be necessary or advisable to permit such Affiliates to avail itself of any rights or perform any obligations of the assigning, sublicensing, subcontracting or delegating Party hereunder. Subject to this Section 16.10, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each Party, its successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment of this Agreement in contravention of this Section 16.10 shall be null and void.”

SECTION 4. Additional Agreements. The additional agreements and understandings between the Parties as set forth below are hereby agreed as amendments to the Agreement.

on the Amendment Effective Date and ending on the Delivery Date set forth in the Initial Relaunch Purchase Order, if one is delivered; provided that for such suspension to end, the Product ordered in the Initial Relaunch Purchase Order must be delivered on or before the Delivery Date set forth in the Initial Relaunch Purchase Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Teva shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commercialize the Product in the Field in the U.S. during the Suspension Period. For clarity, subject to the preceding sentence and the remainder of this Section 4, Teva shall have exclusive and sole decision-making authority with respect to all aspects of the commercialization of the Product in the Field in the U.S. during the Suspension Period and will keep Alexza updated periodically. On or prior to any delivery of the Initial Relaunch Purchase Order, Teva shall present to Alexza a commercialization plan setting forth the goals, Commercialization Strategies and plans for Teva’s continued commercialization of the Product in the U.S., and the level of anticipated sales force and promotion efforts dedicated to the Product, together with the budget in connection therewith, consistent with the then commercial potential of the Product and the Parties would negotiate in good faith amendments to the obligations set forth in Sections 5.1(b) and 5.1(c) of the Agreement consistent with such commercialization plan; provided that in no event shall such amended commercialization obligations be greater than the obligations originally set forth in Sections 5.1(b) and 5.1(c) of the Agreement or lower than the adjusted obligations presented during the management meeting held on Dec 19, 2014. For clarity, if no Initial Relaunch Purchase Order is delivered, then Teva’s obligations under Sections 5.1(b) and 5.1(c) of the Agreement shall be reinstated, with modifications to be discussed and as may be agreed by the Parties, but in no event will such obligations be greater than the obligations originally set forth in Sections 5.1(b) and 5.1(c) of the Agreement or lower than the adjusted obligations presented during the management meeting held on December 19, 2014, on the date that is [*] days after expiration of the Option Exercise Period.

4.2 Required Analysis. Following the Amendment Effective Date, Teva shall perform an analysis to determine the Product’s short and long-term commercial potential and shall present such analysis to the JSC. Thereafter, the JSC would annually update such analysis.

Teva and Alexza will meet periodically to discuss commercial strategy of the Product and the timing for recommencement of manufacture and supply of the Product. Accordingly, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Teva has the right to request an end to the suspension of the Suspended Obligations prior to commencement of the Option Exercise Period by providing written notice of such request to Alexza (a “Suspension Termination Request”), and Alexza agrees to reasonably consider any such Suspension Termination Request in good faith; provided that if Alexza has assigned or subcontracted its manufacturing rights and obligations to a Third Party or an Affiliate in accordance with the terms of the Agreement prior to receipt of such written notice, then Teva and Alexza would meet with such Third Party or Affiliate as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of the Suspension Termination Request to discuss Teva’s request. Teva shall inform the FDA of the suspension of manufacturing of the Product and shall

comply with all Regulatory Requirements with respect to such suspension and Alexza shall promptly provide to Teva any information or data that Teva has requested in writing and reasonably requires to fulfill its obligations under this sentence. Until the end of the Option Exercise Period, Alexza and Teva shall meet at least annually to discuss the results of Teva’s commercialization efforts and anticipated timing of the need for manufacturing additional Product.

4.4 Maintenance of the Approved Facility. Alexza shall conduct an orderly wind-down of production at the Approved Facility by September 1, 2015, and during the Suspension Period, shall maintain the Approved Facility in a condition such that production of the Product may be re-initiated in accordance with Regulatory Requirements, Good Manufacturing Practices, Applicable Laws and the Agreement to be able to manufacture or have manufactured and deliver the Product ordered in the Initial Relaunch Purchase Order by the Delivery Date set forth therein (the “Suspension Period Maintenance Level”).

4.5 Suspension Costs.

(a) The costs to be incurred by Alexza during the Suspension Period in order to maintain the Suspension Period Maintenance Level shall be borne exclusively by Alexza, except as provided in Section 4.5(b) of this Amendment.

(b) Beginning with the first full calendar quarter following the Amendment Effective Date, provided that (i) Alexza elects to and has delivered the applicable Notice of Rent Reimbursement (defined below), (ii) no Party has exercised its right to terminate the Agreement under Article 13 of the Agreement and (iii) the Acceleration Date has not occurred and will not occur prior to or on the date the Rent Reimbursement obligation would be payable, Teva shall reimburse Alexza quarterly in arrears within [*] Business Days following receipt of the applicable Notice of Rent Reimbursement for Alexza’s out-of-pocket payments for rent for the Approved Facility during the Suspension Period at the monthly rental rate in existence as of the Amendment Effective Date (the “Rent Reimbursement”); provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all Rent Reimbursements shall not exceed $1,675,000 (such amount to be pro-rated for any partial year within the Suspension Period based on the number of calendar days for which the Rent Reimbursement obligation applies within such partial year). In order to receive Rent Reimbursement in accordance with this Section 4.5(b) for a calendar quarter during the Suspension Period, Alexza must submit to Teva within [*] days following the end of any such calendar quarter (i) evidence acceptable to Teva of the amount of the out-of-pocket rent payments by Alexza and that such payments have been paid on or before the due dates thereof on the Approved Facility each month on a monthly basis, (ii) an Advance Request under the Note for the amount of the applicable Rent Reimbursement and (iii) wire transfer instructions for Teva to deliver the amount of the applicable Rent Reimbursement to Alexza or for Alexza’s benefit (each such submission, a “Notice of Rent Reimbursement”).

(c) In accordance with the terms of the Note, the amount of any Rent Reimbursement paid by Teva pursuant to Section 4.5(b) of this Amendment shall

 

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

12


immediately and automatically be added to the aggregate principal amount of the Note upon payment thereof by Teva (the aggregate amount of all such Rent Reimbursement, the “Additional Principal Amount”). Any portion of the Additional Principal Amount may be repaid by Alexza, at Alexza’s sole option, (i) by crediting payments due and payable to Alexza from Teva pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4 of the Agreement against such Additional Principal Amount or (ii) in cash, in each case as provided in the Note.

4.6 Records. During the Suspension Period, Alexza shall keep complete, true and accurate books of accounts and records for the purpose of determining the Suspension Costs payable by Alexza pursuant to this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept for at least [*] years following the end of the Calendar Quarter to which they pertain. Such records shall be subject to inspection in accordance with Section 4.7 of this Amendment.

4.7 Audits. During the Suspension Period, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than [*] days (subject to extension required to obtain agreement with the Alexza Auditor on a nondisclosure agreement in accordance with this Section 4.7) following written notice from Teva, Alexza shall permit an independent, reputable, certified public accountant selected by Teva and reasonably acceptable to Alexza (provided that such accounting firm shall not be retained or compensated on a contingency basis and provided further that such independent, certified public accountant shall, at a minimum, be knowledgeable of and have experience in auditing manufacturing companies), which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (for the purposes of this Section 4.7, the “Alexza Auditor”), at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to audit or inspect those books or records as the Alexza Auditor deems necessary or appropriate for the purpose of verifying the Rent Reimbursement incurred by Alexza during the Suspension Period. As a condition to examining any records of Alexza, such Alexza Auditor will sign a nondisclosure agreement reasonably acceptable to Alexza in form and substance, and shall not disclose to Teva, its Affiliates or any Third Party any information that is Alexza’s confidential customer information regarding pricing or other competitively sensitive proprietary information. Any and all records examined by such Alexza Auditor will be deemed Alexza’s Confidential Information. The Alexza Auditor shall disclose to Teva only the amount and accuracy of calculations and payments reported and actually paid or otherwise payable as Rent Reimbursement under this Agreement. The Alexza Auditor shall send a copy of the report to Alexza at the same time it is sent to Teva. Such inspections may be made no more than once each [*] (unless a previous audit resulted in a variation or error resulting in Alexza having to bear the costs of such audit, in which event the frequency may occur [*]) and during normal business hours. Inspections conducted under this Section 4.7 shall be at the expense of Teva, unless a variation or error producing an overpayment in amounts actually paid by Teva to Alexza pursuant to Section 4.5(b) of this Amendment exceeding an amount equal to [*] percent ([*]%) of the amount that should have been payable by Teva for a period covered by the inspection is established, in which case all reasonable costs relating to the inspection for such period shall be paid by Alexza. Teva shall endeavor in such inspection not to disrupt the normal business activities of Alexza. If, as a result of such audit report, it is shown that the amount that Teva paid to Alexza as Rent Reimbursement under Section 4.5(b) of this Amendment was greater than the amount that should have been paid, Alexza shall immediately refund to Teva in cash an amount equal to the difference between the amounts paid by Teva for Rent Reimbursement and the Rent Reimbursement that should have

13


been paid, and such refund shall correspondingly reduce the Additional Principal Amount of the Note. If either Party in good faith disputes any conclusion of the accounting firm under this Section 4.7, then such Party shall so inform the other Party by written notice within thirty (30) days of receipt of a copy of the audit report in question, specifying in detail such dispute. The Parties shall promptly thereafter meet and negotiate in good faith a resolution to such dispute. In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within sixty (60) days after such notice, the matter shall be resolved pursuant to the terms set forth in Article 15 of the Agreement, and interest shall be payable on any disputed amounts determined to be due in the same manner as provided for in Section 8.14 of the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any interest paid by Alexza to Teva on any disputed amounts shall be paid in cash and shall not offset or otherwise reduce the Additional Principal Amount of the Note.

4.8 Right of Consent; Right of First Refusal. Subject to Section 4.9 for Alexza, unless a Party has assigned, sublicensed, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred this Agreement, or in the case of Alexza, its manufacturing rights and obligations under the Agreement, to a Third Party in accordance with Section 16.10 of the Agreement:

(a) Asset Sales. Alexza shall not accept any Offer relating to an Asset Sale of less than all or substantially all of the Manufacturing Assets.

(b) Notice of Offer.

(i) If Alexza receives an Offer, which Alexza desires to accept, then within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such Offer, Alexza shall provide Teva with written notice (the “Offer Notice”), by email (delivery receipt confirmed) or hand delivery to the addresses listed on the signature page hereof. The Offer Notice shall include (A) a true and correct copy of the Offer, including all schedules, exhibits and ancillary documents related thereto, (B) the expected date of consummation of such Asset Sale and (C) the expected Fully Burdened Manufacturing Costs or the Third Party Assignment Threshold, as applicable, as proposed as a result of the Asset Sale and prepared in accordance with Section 8.6 of the Agreement.

(c) Right of Consent with Respect to Asset Sales.

(i) Alexza may not accept the Offer described in the Offer Notice without the prior written consent of Teva, which may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, without limitation, it shall not be deemed unreasonable for Teva to withhold its consent if Teva, acting in good faith, determines that (i) the prospective purchaser has insufficient financial or operational capabilities or lacks sufficient experience in manufacturing a product similar to the Product or (ii) the Fully Burdened Manufacturing Costs or the Third Party Assignment Threshold, as applicable, as proposed as a result of the Asset Sale and prepared in accordance with Section 8.6 of the Agreement, would not be commercially viable; provided, further that Teva may withhold its consent if Teva elects to deliver a Teva Offer Notice (defined below) pursuant to Section 4.8(c) of this Amendment. Teva shall deliver a written notice (the “Teva Consent Notice”) to Alexza within [*] Business Days of the later to occur of (i) Teva’s receipt of the Offer Notice or (ii) the granting to Teva of the Due Diligence Access (such [*]-Business Day period, the “Offer Review Period”), which Teva Consent Notice shall either include Teva’s consent to the Offer or shall include a reasonably detailed description of the reasons for Teva’s objection to the Offer.

(ii) Prior to Teva’s receipt of the Offer Notice, and during the Offer Review Period, Alexza shall not enter into any binding agreement or arrangement (including any no shop agreement, binding term sheet or any similar agreement or arrangement providing for Alexza to pay termination or break-up fees) with any Person (x) with respect to an Offer or (y) that would impose limitations or restrictions on Alexza’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or Alexza’s ability to enter into or consummate any agreement or arrangement with Teva related to a Teva Offer Notice or complete an Asset Sale with Teva (any such binding agreement or arrangement, a “Prohibited Offer Agreement”).

(iii) If Teva delivers a Teva Consent Notice containing an objection to the Offer, Alexza shall not enter into any Prohibited Offer Agreement relating to the Asset Sale. With respect to each Offer for which Teva received an Offer Notice from Alexza, and for which Alexza complied with all of the applicable procedures and requirements of this Section 4.8 (the “Noticed Offer”), in the event that Teva delivers a Teva Consent Notice containing its consent to the Offer, then, and only then, Alexza shall be free, for a period of [*] days following expiration of the Offer Review Period, to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the transactions contemplated in such Noticed Offer with the Person or Persons described in the Noticed Offer on terms and conditions substantially similar to, and in any event not more favorable individually or in the aggregate in any material respect to such Person or Persons than, the terms and conditions described in the Noticed Offer.

(d) Right of First Refusal with Respect to Asset Sales. Upon receipt of the Offer Notice with respect to an Asset Sale, Teva shall have the irrevocable and exclusive option, at its sole discretion, to become, or to have any of its Affiliates become, the purchaser with respect to the Asset Sale on substantially the same financial terms as

 

[*] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

15


provided in the Offer.

Upon receipt by Alexza of the Teva Offer Notice, Alexza shall (i) not enter into or otherwise agree to the Offer relating to the Asset Sale and (ii) enter into an agreement with Teva or any of its Affiliates (A) on substantially the same financial terms as provided in the Offer and (B) containing substantially the same representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities in favor of Teva or any of its Affiliates (as designated by Teva) as provided in the Offer.

(e) Notice of Certain Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if during any Offer Review Period, either (i) any material amendment is made to the terms of the Offer described in the Offer Notice that results in a material decrease in the proposed purchase price of the Offer or (ii) the identity of the Person or Persons making an Offer changes or any new entities join the Offer described in the Offer Notice, then (x) as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within one (1) Business Day of such event, Alexza shall provide Teva with written notice, by email (delivery receipt confirmed) or hand delivery to the addresses listed on the signature page hereto, which notice shall indicate, as applicable, (A) the material amendments that have been made to the terms of the Offer and (B) the change in or newly joining Person or Persons making the Offer and (y) Alexza and Teva agree that in such event, the Offer Review Period shall equal the greater of (A) the number of days that remain in the Offer Review Period at the time of provision by Alexza of such notice (which provision is confirmed by evidence of transmission) and (B) [*] Business Days.

4.9 Right of First Offer. If Alexza has assigned, sublicensed, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred its manufacturing rights and obligations to a Third Party in accordance with Section 16.10(b) of the Agreement:

(a) Right to Notice of Asset Sale. In the event that the Board of Directors of Alexza (the “Board”), acting in good faith, authorizes Alexza or any of its officers, representatives or agents to initiate, pursue, solicit or accept a Proposal, then within one Business Day after such authorization of a Proposal, Alexza shall provide Teva with written notice (the “Proposal Notice”), by email (delivery receipt confirmed) or hand delivery to the addresses listed on the signature page hereof, of (i) such authorization of a Proposal and (ii) the material terms, including the Manufacturing Assets subject to the Proposal and the range of the consideration, being sought by the Board. Immediately after delivering the Proposal Notice to Teva and continuing through the Proposal Review Period (defined below), Alexza shall provide Teva and its Representatives with Due Diligence Access, and such Due Diligence Access shall be no less extensive than that provided to any other Person in connection with such Proposal, or to whom Alexza has an obligation to provide information or has voluntarily provided information with respect to a Proposal, or any of any such Person’s Representatives.

4.10 Void Transactions. Unless Alexza shall have complied with all of the procedures and requirements of Sections 4.8 and 4.9 of this Amendment in all material respects (and in the event of any immaterial noncompliance, such immaterial noncompliance shall not prejudice Teva’s rights hereunder in any manner), then any Proposal or Offer which Alexza may accept, and any transaction it may purport to effect pursuant thereto, shall be void ab initio.
